On January 1, 2011, I posted a message at Journal777 titled “#WFJ: Be faithful (committed) to this new habit.” In that I wrote: My key word for 2011 is COMMITMENT. My key scripture is “Let your ‘yes’ be ‘yes’ and your ‘no’ be ‘no’!” (James 5:12). My prayer for this new year is simple. Help me to honor (pray to) you morning, noon, and night each day like Daniel did. Help me to abide in You in a deep and rich way daily that I might bear much fruit for the Kingdom and Your glory. Well, how have I done with this so far in 2011 after 3 months. I’d give myself a “3″ and that might even be generous.

The Story Behind The Story is THE KEY to successful and highly prolific webinars. Everyone has a story. According to the TMCJ flash header, “Every person … every family … every community… every culture… every nation … needs THE STORY.” People can argue with your doctrine. People can argue with your religion and personal views. But no one can argue with your story.

Thank You Randy for setting aside the time this morning to meet with Me, an opportunity for both of us to enjoy one another’s company. It’s so important for us to spend this time together. Not only will this be of great benefit to you and your family, but as others see the example you set and the fruit that results from abiding with Me, they too will be encouraged to come sit at My feet. Communion with Me, communion with God, is where the abundant life starts. It begins by resting in Me. It’s so simple, yet so few people grasp this.

On Saturday Nov 21, I had the privilege to attend “Awake! Arise!”, an all-day prayer retreat at Chauncey and Joan Hutter’s beautiful home in Charlottesville Virginia. At least 50-60 people gathered to give thanks and praise and pray to the King of kings and LORD of lords, opening a gateway to heaven. People came from communities throughout Virginia and even Washington D.C. And God did a special work on me.

On Sunday November 15, Lynne Lee sent a simple email to our Coaches Mastermind Group asking each of our 7 members to answer two profound questions. I woke up this morning thinking about her first question, “What has God been saying to you?” As I lay in bed resting and reflecting this morning, answers started coming to me. When I got up and began journaling, here is what the LORD shared with me:

Good morning Randy. Yes, yesterday was a bizarre day, perhaps one of the most bizarre ones you have ever experienced. ________ sowed her $14,400 seed to bless Empower 2000 and My Kingdom. Then Brian McFadin shared your way of being that has been keeping you from experiencing ABUNDANCE in the marketplace that I so desire for you.
