We have a living God, a speaking God! One who loves us, His children, and He particularly loves to speak to us! He can speak to any one of us who love Him.

“In the Last Days I will pour out of My Spirit upon all flesh: your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams” (Acts 2:17).

You might be thinking, “I read the Bible every day, so I’m hearing from the Lord every day.” While it’s good to read the Bible, the recorded Word of the Lord, which is the foundation of our Christian faith, it’s wonderful to also hear straight from the Lord and “take heed to His sure word of prophecy, as to a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in our hearts” (2 Peter 1:19).

His Word says to “Stir up the gift of God which is in you” (2 Timothy 1:6). So, every day should be a new experience for us, a new listening to the Voice of the Lord. Why live only on yesterday�s spiritual food, when we can have fresh “manna from Heaven” (John 6:58) every day? Jesus still speaks today! Listen to what He told me on June 15, 2008:

I have the KEYS – simple keys to BREAKTHROUGH. It’s not complicated. You have to trust me on this. Just keep writing down what You hear me saying. I know what works and what doesn’t. I am the Alpha and Omega, so I see the end from the beginning. I have to show You before you can show others. What you shared at Soul Purpose Church today was good. Even though it seems that most people didn’t get it, seeds were planted. You have a generous heart. What you’re doing in secret, I will reward openly. That’s My word – that’s My promise.

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)

Today was another historical day of taking a stand for the WFJ GLOBAL MOVEMENT. Team destiny hosted their final of three WFJ (Words From Jesus) webinars in December 2009 called “The Miracle of Christmas.”

Dr. Joseph Peck served as the global connector and host of this webinar. The guest panelists were: Deb Smith, Richard Mayhan, Bertha Hinson, and me, Abigail Slocum. Clearly the Holy Spirit took control of the webinar before it ever started and never let go!

He began by waking me up at 3:22 AM to give me this prophetic word – WFJ: THE MIRACLE OF CHRISTMAS IS CHRIST! It was His way of orchestrating the whole focus for the discussion. These are the questions we covered:

1. What is the Miracle of Christmas?
2. What is the significance of Isaiah 9:1-7?
3. How does someone come into the LIGHT of Jesus?
4. What can people do to experience their most special Christmas ever?
5. Prayer for an UNCOMMON Christmas blessing.

WFJ: THE MIRACLE OF CHRISTMAS IS CHRIST!

Take the tour of the Word and be free in Christ. CHRISTMAS IS A SEASON FOR MIRACLES BUT EVERY DAY IS A MIRACLE IN CHRIST! TO BE IN CHRIST IS THE GREATEST MIRACLE OF ALL.

SALVATION IS THE GREATEST MIRACLE OF ALL. It is God�s free gift to all mankind. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him shall be saved (have eternal life).(John 3:16).

What is so miraculous is that SALVATION IS THE “GREAT EXCHANGE!” MAN GIVES GOD HIS IMPERFECT, BROKEN, SINFUL LIFE IN EXCHANGE FOR A PERFECT (COMPLETE) LIFE IN CHRIST. JESUS GIVES HIS ALL FOR OUR ALL!

When you receive Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, the LIGHT OF THE WORLD – THE CANDLE OF MAN, comes into your heart to show you the most excellent way of all to live. IT IS THE WAY OF LOVE BECAUSE GOD IS LOVE.

In this “GREAT EXCHANGE,” your old sinful man dies and the new man comes alive in Christ. CHRIST LIVES THROUGH YOU to live the perfect will of God which is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. (Romans 14:17).

Unity of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is your inheritance as a born again child of God. IT IS A LIFE OF VICTORY AND TOTAL PROVISION. To be one with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is to be free from every bondage of sin and to be free to experience the fullness and abundance of life in Christ Jesus. JESUS IS THE DOOR TO FREEDOM AND TOTAL FULFILLMENT.

Jesus� arms are open wide and ALL THAT BELONGS TO THE FATHER OF LIGHTS IS YOURS WHEN YOU SAY “YES” TO JESUS who is the express image and likeness of God, and His Kingdom of Love becomes yours!

IT IS A SUPERNATURAL GIFT OF DIVINE INFUSION AND PROPORTION AND IS THE GREATEST MIRACLE OF ALL! Become one with the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. ALLOW THE PRINCE OF PEACE TO RULE IN YOUR HEART FOREVERMORE, for God set eternity in the heart of man. He loves YOU so much and nothing will ever separate YOU from His love.

LET THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD LIGHT YOUR PATH AND BE A BEACON OF HOPE TO ALL MANKIND. THE KING OF GLORY HAS CHOSEN AND MADE A WAY TO TAKE UP RESIDENCE IN YOUR HEART AND BE YOUR KING AND PRINCE OF PEACE. SAY YES TO HIM AND THE KINGDOM IS YOURS!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL. The Redeemer wants to take all of you in your imperfection and transform you into the likeness of Christ. RECEIVE THE GREATEST GIFT KNOWN TO MANKIND AND LIVE “THE GREAT ADVENTURE” IN CHRIST. NOTHING CAN COMPARE TO THIS INDECSRIBABLE GIFT OF PURE AND PERFECT LOVE. It is greater than anything you ever wanted for Christmas for it is the desire of your heart. RECEIVE GOD�S GIFT AND SPEND THE REST OF YOUR NATURAL LIFE AND ETERNITY UNWRAPPING JESUS, GOD�S GIFT OF HIMSELF WHO IS PERFECT LOVE. THERE IS NO END TO LOVE. REJOICE AND BE AT PEACE. IMMANUEL HAS COME!

RECEIVE ALL OF THE GREATEST MIRACLE WHO EVER WAS OR IS TO COME! Let Christ have free reign in your heart and become His walking talking miracle and witness to all mankind. Your light has come. BE GLORIFIED IN HIS ETERNAL PRESENCE.

I LOVE YOU, MY CHILD. BE MADE WHOLE. ENTER THE JOY OF THE LORD. MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM THE PERFECT LOVER OF YOUR SOUL! BE SATISFIED IN ME. I AM YOUR FULFILLMENT AND HEART�S DESIRE. SHALOM.

Love in Jesus,

Nancy Slocum

Prayer Power

If you don�t know Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior, please say this prayer out loud from your heart and you shall be saved and come into God’s Kingdom of Love.

Father God, I believe in my heart that you sent your Son Jesus to die on the cross for me. I believe Jesus paid my sin debt in full. It was a debt I could not repay and it was a debt Jesus did not owe. Thank You, Jesus. I accept your perfect gift and sacrifice. Come into my heart and be my Lord and Savior. Baptize me in the power of your Holy Spirit and I will serve you all the days of my life! I am saved! I am free! Thank you, in Jesus name. Amen.

May you allow the God of all hope and the Prince of Peace to rule in your heart this day and forevermore. May this truly be your most significant Christmas ever as the FULLNESS of the gift of God’s LOVE FOR YOU, becomes an everyday reality in your life!

I BLESS YOU with the joy, laughter, and peace of God! I BLESS YOU with God’s amazing grace! I pray this in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.

Title: If You Dare To Care Then Share
Description: Q&A Session (FREE Webinar) For 8-Week Web 2.0 Course
Course title: Establish A Powerful Online Presence
Date/Time: Tuesday September 15, 2009, Noon EST and again at 8 pm EST
Hosts: Dr. Randy Peck, Dr. Jerry Graham
Guest Panelists: Karen Hannon, Bob Sims, Renato Amato

If you dare to care, then share !
If you share, pay heed !!
God will reward every good deed !!!

Those are the lyrics to a poem written by Hugh Traulsen in the 1980′s titled “Caring / Sharing.” He dedicated that poem to his wife Ann after she died from a rare form of lung cancer in 2007.

I first got connected to Hugh on July 4, 2009, FREEDOM day in America when we celebrate the birth of our nation. On that historic morning, I discovered the most profound voice message of my life from Hugh. Hugh’s message led me to promptly call him and God immediately connected our hearts.

Even though Hugh has very little money and is disabled, he has turned out to be one of my greatest blessings of 2009. Through Hugh, I got connected to Karen Hannon.

Karen opened the door for me to do two live seminars in Glen Allen (Richmond) Virginia on Sept 1 titled “Establish A Powerful Online Presence.” The purpose is to inspire people to share their stories, products, and services with the world. That’s my God-given gift – CONNECTING.

Karen was the very first person to sign up for our 8-week online Web 2.0 course that starts tonight called “Establish A Powerful Online Presence.” And she is bringing along with her a herd of followers.

Today at Noon EST and again at 8 pm EST, Dr. Jerry Graham and I are hosting a free live Q&A session (webinar) to answers questions about the 8-week course. We have 3 guests on our call, including Karen Hannon (Richmond, VA), Bob Sims (Austin, TX), and Renato Amato (Italy).

CLICK HERE to reserve your seat for this life-changing webinar at 8 pm EST (New York), 5 pm PST (California), 1 am BST (London)

This Q&A session and the Web 2.0 Course are for YOU if…

1) you are tired of being the best kept secret in your field
2) you are looking for a way to get your message out BIG
3) you want to use your expertise to make GREAT MONEY
4) you want to sell without being salesy
5) you are done thinking about going big and are ready to TAKE ACTION!

Web 2.0+++ is at least 100x more powerful than Web 1.0 (a traditional website). What this means for you is every hour you spend using Web 2.0 strategically is equivalent to at least 100 hours you spend with traditional marketing. And every dollar you spend on Web 2.0 equates to at least $100 for traditional marketing.

Share the wealth by inviting your friends and followers to the free Q&A session. Even if you are not available, by registering you will receive free access to our recorded audio.

Blessings to dare to care and share your stories with the world!

P.P.S. At the Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders in the U.K. earlier this year, the primary word received was “no more business as usual.”

“By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit;” (John 15:8a)

For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s. (1 Corinthians 6:20)

What is God calling you to do?
What’s your excuse?

As a destiny coach, I hear many people share a myriad of excuses why they don’t follow God’s call on their life. They keep waiting for “someday” which never comes; it’s always today. And to be honest, I get tired of it. I’m choosing to move forward with people who have consecrated their lives to God – giving God their all. I acknowledge people who take decisive action.

The following message is an excerpt from p68 of the Maxwell Leadership Bible.

Most of us can list excuses why we don’t lead effectively, just as Moses did. When God called him, he instantly thought of five reasons why he couldn’t lead.

Excuse #1: Who am I? (Exodus 3:11)
Moses struggled with his identity. He just didn’t feel qualified. He felt God had picked the wrong leader.
God’s response: It doesn’t matter who you are. I am with you. (Ex 3:12)

Excuse #2: Who are You? (Exodus 3:13)
Moses felt a lack of intimacy. He didn’t know God well enough to describe Him to the people and lacked conviction concerning his relationship with god.
God’s response: “I AM WHO I AM.” (Exodus 3:14) I AM ever present. I AM everything you need.

Excuse #3: What if they don’t listen? (Exodus 4:1)
Moses felt intimidated. He worried about the people’s reaction to him.
God’s response: When I’m finished, they will listen. (Ex 4:2-9)

Excuse #4: I’ve never been a good speaker. (Ex 4:10)
Moses fretted about his inadequacies. Who would listen to him if he couldn’t even speak speak well?
God’s response: Guess who made your mouth? (Ex 4:11-12)

Excuse #5: I know you can find someone else. (Ex 4:13)
Moses felt inferior. He compared himself to others – even his brother – and decided that he came up short.
God’s response: OK, I will let Aaron go with you … but I’m still calling you to go (Ex 4:14)

Prayer Power
Heavenly Father, I praise you as the great I AM, not the great I WAS or the the great I WILL BE. You’re the God of the present and You’re all we need. I pray today’s message will stir people’s hearts to action. Bless them to be strong and of good courage to step into and retake the promised land for You and Your name’s sake. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen and hallelujah!

Blessings of the Day

1) WFJ: I will build your house!

2) Tempted to Give Up

3) Become A THOUGHT LEADER In Your Niche

Blessings to stop making excuses and do what God has called you to do!

P.S. If you have comments to share, please post them publicly on my blog rather than sending me emails.

Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him! (Psalm 34:8)

How are you sharing your stories, products, and services with the world?

At 9 pm EDT on July 2, 2009, the first Thursday of the second half of this calendar year, Dr. Jerry Graham and I launched our 12-week UNCOMMON Internet Marketing Coaching course for 12 people. The LORD assembled a TRIBE of His followers who were desperate to learn how to share their God stories, products, and servcices with the world.

The online, interactive courses that Jerry and I offer differ from any others that we have ever seen in that they combine Journaling, Coaching, and Web 2.0 for EXPLOSIVE KINGDOM IMPACT. Each week Tribe Members are given 5 questions and asked to post their answers publicly for other Tribe Members on the private Member blog.

All the questions are addressed to the LORD. For example,

Day 1. LORD, what are reasonable goals for me to set and achieve in 3 months from this Web 2.0 course?
Day 2. LORD, who is my target audience?
Day 3. LORD, how can I best feed Your sheep using Web 2.0?

When you ask the LORD a question and believe He will answer it, He does – every time. The Holy Spirit doesn’t play hide and seek. If you are born again with the Spirit of God within you, He wants to speak to you. He wants to reveal things to you. He wants to inspire and lead you to the greatness you were designed to manifest for God’s glory.

Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good.

Renato Amato, my dear friend from Bracciano Italy, gets up at 3 am (his time in Italy each Friday morning) to participate in our Web 2.0 course. This is dedication. This is commitment. This is passion to grow. Renato’s faithfulness and his two-prayer entries on his blog have greatly inspired me and other Tribe Members to do more, to be more, to live abundantly.

About a month ago, Renato and I began weekly one-on-one “coaching” meetings each Monday. Last Monday (July 20), Renato talked to me about two of his blog posts written the week before “WFJ: A “net” to catch multitudes!” and “WFJ: Showers of blessings!” As Renato was talking about showers of blessings, he told me he sees a dam breaking to quench the thirst of God’s chidlren with living waters.

That prompted me to do a Google image search, which immediately led me to this image.

Vision of dam breaking to release Gods living waters

This morning during my two-way journaling, the LORD began

Randy, the dam is breaking. You have my word on it. My children are hungry and thirsty for My Word and My living waters. You, Renato, Bob, Virginia, Carrie, Rod, Deb, David, and the others are now feeding my sheep and quenching their thirsts as you share with your blogs. What’s important is that they hear from Me, not from you. That’s why sharing two-way prayers is so powerful. I AM doing a new work. I AM using you to inspire others to the greatness I have instilled in them. The passion you have within you comes from Me. The desires you have deep within come from Me.

To read the rest of this prayer, CLICK HERE.

Prayer Power
Heavenly Father, loving God, I stand in awe of Your power and might – Your majesty. Thank You for assembling the UNCOMMON Internet Marketing Coaching TRIBE. Thank You for the great work You are doing through each Member and the Tribe at large. Thank You that the dam is breaking. The world is hungry for Your Word and thirsty to receive Your living waters. Release! Release! Release! Speak to those who read this message Spirit to spirit. Open their eyes of understanding to how you want to use them. Praise the LORD of my soul. Amen and Hallelujah! Glory to the King of kings.

Blessings of the Day

2) “WFJ: Showers of blessings!” by Renato Amato on July 18
3) “WFJ: The Dam is Breaking” by Randy Peck on July 27

Blessings to receive God’s fresh living waters as they are released into your life!

The Connector – connecting people, ideas, and resources in Christ through the POWER of the Holy Spirit

P.S. If you’d like to keep receiving Your Daily Blessing, be sure to subscribe to my blog at the top right.

Who are you upsetting? Who are you connecting? Who are you leading?

Then Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes concerning the children of Israel, saying, “This is the thing which the LORD has commanded: (Numbers 30:1)

Yesterday morning, Michael Stay sent me an email with a link to a profound video with Seth Goodin talking about tribes. This was in follow up to our strategic planning meeting on May 14.

Seth says we are living during a major transition with how ideas are shared and spread. We are in a new model of leadership. Changes are no longer made with money and power. Tribes are what matter now. It’s tribes that can change our world, not because they force people but because people want to connect. Assemble tribes that assemble tribes that becomes a movement.

Seth then asks, “Who are you upsetting? Who are you connecting? Who are you leading?”

Most movements are about finding a group that’s disconnected, but already has a yearning. Change comes by affecting the “who” not the mechanics of what you are doing. People are waiting for you to lead them.

Tribe Leaders …
1) Challenge the status quo
2) Build a culture
3) Connect people to one another. More than anything else, people want to feel missed.
4) Commit to the cause, to the tribe, to the people who are there.

Challenge: Do something. It only takes 24 hours to create a movement.

Prayer Power
Almighty and eternal God and Father, I worship and adore You. I ask You to help me assemble a modern-day Gideon army, a tribe, to inspire people around the world to the greatness You designed them for. Thank You Jesus for being my Shepherd, for making me lie down in green pastures, for guiding me in the steps of righteousness and leading me for Your own name sake. Anoint me from the heavens. Anoint me from the Holy Temple. Anoint me from Zion, O Lord.

Will you set aside 7 minutes today to read Pastor Mark Arnold’s complete God story?

I didn’t plan to send any message today, but after just reading an email my father forwarded to me titled “Sarah is an Esther!!!” and researching this more online, I knew with absolute certainty that this message must go out TODAY!

After spending 30 minutes reading the Bible this morning in my secret place and then praying through my written prayer list for an hour, I went for a mile walk with my wife on this gorgeous Fall morning.

When we got back home, I retrieved the Culpeper Star Exponent (daily newspaper) in my mailbox. What caught my attention was the front page article about a record number of registered voters for the November 4 election.

Like many other people, I have never been more passionate about an election than this one. And what made me most passionate was John McCain’s vice presidential nomination of Governor Sarah Palin. When I watched Sarah’s Republican National Convention speech on YouTube that lit a fire within me.

Pastor Mark Arnold’s testimony of his encounter with Senator John McCain and Sarah Palin is by far the most riveting one I have heard during the entire presidential campaign. Here is just an excerpt of what he wrote:

When McCain came to hug her… he immediately shook my hand and following his moment with her, I shook his hand as he grabbed my hand, now for the second time, and I said, “God wants you to know that I’m praying for you, Sir!” He thanked me and kept smiling.  I repeated that phrase to him five times.  He grabbed my hands and looked right into my eyes and said, “I won’t make it without prayer.  Sir, Thank You for praying for me, and don’t let one day go by that you don’t pray for me.  I need all the prayers that I can get. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!”

As he moved to my right, Sarah Palin, came over to my left side…standing over the crowd and  then looking at the little lady who had lost the son.  It took a moment for her to shake some hands and people were pushing in all around.  Sarah came and got on her hands and knees on that side of the stage and hugged that little Mom, telling her, “…it was not in vain.”  She promised her support. 

It was at this moment Sarah Palin, reached out for me to help her up and as I was assisting her to stand was now face to face with her and GOD said, “Open up your Mouth and I will fill it.”

Here is what came out…
 
[She immediately began to cry]!
“God wants to tell you that you are Chosen for such a time as this!”
“You are called, and chosen to be a leader.”
“Don’t lose heart and don’t fear man.”

I encourage each and every one of you to read Pastor Mark Arnold’s entire message at today’s Link of the Day. Read it with an open mind and open spirit. Then pass the message along to others as the Holy Spirit guides you.

Prayer Power
Heavenly Father, I thank You for Your great favor that is upon Governor Sarah Palin. May You use her to rescue our nation from the utter chaos that besets us just as You used Esther to save the Jewish people from being completely exterminated thousands of years ago. May You grace this message to spread like wild fire through the social networks. Thank You Jesus! It’s in Your holy and precious name, we humble ourselves and pray believing! Amen and Hallelujah!

Secular coaches call it ‘intuition”.  LLC coaches have learned that we are really helping clients Hear God for themselves in a coaching conversations and discovering the empowering joy of their own voice in the process.  We train coaches to “listen to what really matters” by serving clients to hear, engage, embrace, and activate God’s Destiny Directions for them. – Joseph Umidi

Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ (Philippians 3:8)

On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate your ability to consistently hear God’s voice?
What can you do to improve that?

In yesterday’s devotional titled “Changing Lives – Breaking Through,” we continued with our theme of Christ-enabled living, impossible living, heroic living. Yesterday’s key message: “When you change your thinking and your HABITS, you will change your life.” You were presented with an opportunity to participate in today’s life-changing webinar to change your thinking and habits.

Today at Noon EST, Jerry Graham and I are hosting an introductory webinar about our outstanding 5 week Journal 201 course titled “UNCOMMON Journaling for Destiny.” Rev. Matt Gregory and Dan Paulsen will be sharing their first hand testimonies of the impact of our prior course. Even if you are not available, you can receive a link to the recorded webinar simply by registering. CLICK HERE to learn more.

While preparing the PowerPoint presentation for today’s webinar, I was prompted to write down some of the new fruit I personally experienced from the Journal 201 course. Here is a partial list:
1) Began using The Journal myself
2) Got connected to Debra Thompson Roedl and the Wealth Alliance Group
3) Transformation Virginia was officially launched
4) Launched my own web store with products, courses, and memberships
5) Soul Purpose Church (my church) formally adopted “Coaching you to discover and fulfill your soul purpose” as its mission
6) Door opened for an alliance between Team Destiny and Lifeforming Leadership Coaching
7) I bought a brand new bicycle. My old one was more than 25 years old (literally an antique).

In my August 22 devotional, I mentioned that Joseph Umidi was my top new contact in 2006 and Debra Thompson Roedl has been my top new contact in 2008.
 
On August 19, Joseph sent the monthly Lifeforming Leadership Coaching e-newsletter promoting our webinar to his 1,500 or so contacts. In his message titled “Coaching with an ‘Ear To Hear’,” Joseph wrote:
 
“I am pleased to offer all of our coaches the unique combination of 2 keys to Hearing God for yourself that will translate into more effective “hearing” with your clients.  This is the unique combination of journaling and coaching to clarify what God is saying to you and giving you the ability to help your clients discover the same for them. Dr. Jerry Graham and Dr. Randy Peck have collaborated to design this life changing 5-week process for you that I highly recommend.”
 
Debra Roedl is regarded by some as the top internet marketing strategist in the world. When I met in person with her at the Marriott Crystal City (VA) on August 16 (the same day as The Call DC), she committed to promote our combo journaling and coaching courses. to her Wealth Alliance contacts around the world.

A few weeks ago I talked to Buddy Smith, Executive Assistant to the Chairman for the American Family Association. He told me he is willing to have Jerry and I interviewed about our combo coaching and journaling courses on Today’s Issues (American Family Radio). AFR has more than 1 million listeners nationwide.

Obviously God has His mantle of favor on the “UNCOMMON Journaling for Destiny” course. On behalf of all our Team Destiny teammates, we invite you to be blessed by registering for today’s webinar. Even if you aren’t available today, you will receive a link to our recorded webinar just for registering. Our target audience is people who are passionate to know God and make Him known.

Bless each reader who chooses to register for today’s webinar to learn to hear Your voice. Thank You Jesus. You’re my all in all. Amen and hallelujah!

Blessings to develop an ear to hear God’s voice!

“I was thirsty and you gave Me drink” (Matthew 25:35b)

What team are you going to join to reclaim your mountain of influence for Jesus?

Extraordinary things for the world are always accomplished by great teams. Last week I attended the Provision Network (PVN) Leadership Summit that took place in New York City on May 1-3. That was awesome. Every speaker and participant was passionate about Jesus and helping one another. One of the primary reasons I went was to meet Dan Stratton, affectionately known as the pastor of Wall Street, and Lance Wallnau. My wife and two close friends highly recommended I go. So many new blessings came out of this.

Each day at the Summit, Dan had a few extremely accomplished marketplace leaders share their stories and huge visions. The first main speaker was Kevin McGovern. Kevin is Chairman and CEO of McGovern Capital LLC, which provides Intellectual Property Rights Strategy, and originates, structures and implements capital formation, joint ventures and business alliances. Recently, Cornell University selected Kevin as its worldwide 2007 Entrepreneur of the Year. Kevin is playing the lead role in The Water Initiative to solve the world-wide water crisis. In doing so, Kevin is addressing the world problem of water-born diseases, which kill more people all other top diseases combined.

Lance Wallnau, Director of the Lance Learning Centers, spoke twice. He is the world leader in the “Reclaiming the Seven Mountains” initiative. Lance is the person that national and international leaders call upon when they need a breakthrough or clarity on their next step.

Mike Barber, a former standout tight end in the NFL, shared his phenomenal story about his prison ministry called Mike Barber Ministries. Mike has had a weekly television show on Trinity Broadcast Network for 20 years promoting this ministry. After hearing Mike, I think he might well be the “Superbowl Champion” of prison ministry in the world. I’ll share more about Mike and prison ministry tomorrow.

Ed Rollins shared his incredible story. Ed served four U.S. Presidents (Nixon, Ford, Reagan, and George H. W. Bush) including two tours of duty at the highest level of the White House as Assistant to the President. He was one of President Reagan’s closest friends and played a major role in President Reagan deciding to run for re-election in 1984. Ed is best known for managing President Reagan’s landslide re-election campaign in 1984.

Other stories shared by PVN Board members, state chapter leaders, and PVN members blew me out of the water. In my opinion, the PVN Leadership Summit has opened more doors for me than any other networking gathering I have ever been to. While I already was a member of the PVN, I am now certain that I want to bless the PVN and help get a PVN chapter started in Virginia. For those of you in the marketplace who want to be leaders in your field, I encourage you to explore the PVN.

Since starting daily prayer calls for the PVN in August 2007, Dan Stratton has begun experiencing major breakthroughs in his ministry. Several people at the PVN Leadership Summit told me how great an impact those prayer calls had on them personally. I participated in two of those prayer calls in April and was extremely impressed. Typically, about 50-70 people are participating daily from 15-20 states. What Dan is doing with these prayer calls is a simple and great model for every ministry. Here’s how you can connect with a PVN prayer call.

Prayer Power
Heavenly Father, thank You for Dan Stratton and the vision you gave him for the Provision Network. Thank You for directing my path to get me to the PVN Leadership Summit. Thank You for every speaker and participant I met. Bless me to be a good steward with every relationship You established. Bless me to be a blessing to the PVN. Bless the start of a Virginia PVN chapter. Bless the PVN with their greatest year ever by far in 2008. Thank You Jesus. To God be all the glory. Amen and hallelujah.
