The Kingdom of God is a mystery. It is not, however, hidden by God. Our own beliefs and opinions hide it. According to John 3:3, when we are born again, we gain the ability to see or perceive the kingdom. According to Jesus, the Kingdom can not be perceived, understood, or entered by anything external. It is an inward phenomenon, i.e., via the heart! When our self-worth is not rooted in our heart beliefs about Christ and His resurrection, they are rooted in our ego. Join me this week for Impact CyberChurch, and I'll show you how to find and access the door of your heart so you can begin to live and function in the resurrection power of Jesus!

Religion has duped us into believing only those with a prophetic gift can help us foresee and prepare for what is coming in the future. The truth is, God has provided a way we can always know what He will do in any (especially in significant world-changing) events. I want you to discover how you can see, know, and prepare! In this week's Impact CyberChurch program, I share The Power of Remembering! God has already provided everything we need to know for an incredible, victorious life. By understanding what He has already revealed, we can understand what He will do in future events. This will be the beginning of a supernatural journey into seeing the world and yourself in a completely new manner. From this new awareness, you will have confidence in so many situations that would leave others wavering in fear! The more clearly you remember the past, the more clearly you will understand the future!

The entire world is in chaos because we’ve created our own concepts and ideas of good and evil. Dr. Richards discusses the journey that is taking us away from God, alienating us from Him so that we can never have the life He promised.

Rumors and deception create false perceptions of a reality that is not in harmony with God’s character and nature. Dr. Richards explores the source of this insidious strategy, and what can be done to overcome its destructive power.

Is this the end? Is Jesus coming back? The Bible calls the time we are living in the beginning of sorrows. Join Dr. Richards as he discusses this subject, and what can be done to thwart the efforts of those that want to destroy the world as we know it.

In this week’s message I Think I’m Nicer Than God, Dr. Richards discusses the issues that arise when we ascribe the consequences of our actions to God based on an incorrect perception of His true nature and character.

The Justice Of God explores the Biblical foundation of justice based on God's character and nature, as opposed to the counterfeit model of social justice being advocated by the globalist agenda today.

When your heart awakens, it will transform you into what it sees. You can use the Word of God to show your heart a completely new reality, the one God promised, and the one you choose, not the one life imposes on you.

Often times, we tend to define ourselves by our past mistakes. The Bible doesn’t say that the righteous never falls; it says they just keep getting back up. Join Dr. Richards as he discusses turning past failures into stepping stones for success.

The Bible tells us we can put off the old man, and put on the new hidden man of the heart as we connect with the risen Lord. Join Dr. Richards this week and discover the truth about the real you. You’ll love meeting the real you!

We can spend our entire lives focusing on issues and limitations that we perceive to be outside influences. However, these limitations are based on what we believe about ourselves in our own hearts. Join Dr. Richards as he explores A Heart Awakening.

We need to hear from God in our hearts about what is going on in the world, and the path we need to follow. Listening to the voice of God and learning how to hear it in our hearts will prepare us for the season we are in.

Jesus said that the time would come when we would have a tribulation on Planet Earth that would be far worse than anything that has ever happened. Join Dr. Jim Richards as he explores the birth pains we are experiencing.

In Matthew 24:6 when Jesus discussed arriving at the end, what did He mean? While many believe He meant the end of the age, the Greek word TELOS translated as end actually means completing a goal. Join Dr. Richards as he uncovers the goal Jesus referenced.

When Jesus returns, it will not be to bring an end to the world but to prevent the antichrist and evildoers from destroying the world and mankind. Until then, we can manage ourselves and overcome no matter what the world is going through.

We are living in difficult times. God wants us to see what’s happening and properly understand the signs of the times. Join Dr. Richards as he examines the challenges facing us, using the Bible as a guide.

While the Old Testament sacrifices provided a covering for past sins, Jesus’ sacrifice provided an exchange; His righteousness for our unrighteousness past, present, and future. The decision is ours to accept or reject the gift available through His sacrifice.

Faith in the blood is to deliberately remind ourselves and reflect on the price Jesus paid on the cross through His shed blood, which cleanses our conscience. We participate in all of that by faith in all He has done, and is.

God has offered us the inheritance Jesus received as a result of His death, burial, and resurrection. We can only experience what is ours in Christ to the degree we believe it in our hearts and walk it out in faith with God. The choice is ours.

The Good News is that God is at peace with us! If we choose, we can experience the tranquil state of being that comes by knowing who God is and that our every need has already been met through Jesus Christ. Experiencing peace with God is essential to trusting Him.

Want to change the world like the Apostles did? You too can change the world just like they did, when you first experience God in your heart as Jesus has revealed Him to be.

God's covenant with Jesus is a covenant of the heart; upheld by His Name and His Word, establishing what we can expect from Him. The question for us is: Does my heart agree with His Word?

Who was God to Jesus? This is how God wants to be to you. Everything Jesus did or taught was in harmony with the names of God. The names of God reveal His nature, and His unchanging love for us.

There is much confusion in the body of Christ concerning God’s current contract with humanity. Learn how Jesus is our Mediator of a better covenant.

We create a world in harmony with our image. Decide with God in prayer that you will only accept God's testimony of Himself.

You have a choice; you can align your beliefs with the world’s solutions, or harmonize your life with God and say, This is what my world is going to become.

Am I looking at the promises of God thru natural senses that limit God to time, space, and matter, or as the Creator who exists in eternity Who says it is already done?

We must understand how to relate to the invisible world. The invisible (unseen) is our life in Christ, His promises, and inheritance.

Making miracles is not so much about having more faith than anyone else as it is in having faith in what God says instead of religion.

Most people have not heard how faith actually operates. This series will show you how to move in faith with confidence.

Do you trust God to meet the needs in your life? The only two battles of faith you will ever fight in your whole life are: is God who He says He is and am I who God says I am?

Do you believe the miracle you need is simply possible, or highly probable? What moves something from simply being possible to probable is the fact that God proactively initiated the end from the beginning. It is a matter of removing doubt and unbelief, and begin to conceive it in your heart.

Take steps to a powerful and steadfast heart which does not waver at the promises of God! When your heart is persuaded of God’s goodness and trustworthiness, your focus and trust will always be on God and His resources.

We can know that our heart is fixed when we do not waver, regardless of the bad report that comes. Why? We remain steadfast on the promises of God.

When we are not seeing results, we need to sort out what is really going on. Approaching God from a perspective that says we’re not sure if this is true or not, is to put Him on trial, and that limits Him. Every limitation in our lives is a limitation we unknowingly place upon God.

God rules in our lives only to the degree that we allow Him to express Himself. Ask yourself: Do I believe in a God who is better than I ever imagined and has a life for me that is better than anything I have ever imagined?

How bad do I really want what God has to offer? Ask yourself: Is there anything in my life that I am afraid to give up in exchange for what God is offering me, or am I willing to let go of it and seek God with all my heart?

If we don’t change the beliefs of our hearts that cause us to cycle through the same mistakes, we will either destroy the successes we make or destroy ourselves so we can no longer have those successes Watch this video, and learn how to achieve success in a godly way.

Tired of resisting changes you know can make your life better? Learn how to use the positive changes provided in God's promises to transform your life from one of failure and frustration, into one of joy, peace, and success.

Tired of making resolutions that fail before the new year is even one month old? God designed us to succeed at everything we do, when our hearts are in harmony with His. Start this year right by using God's strategy for success.

Clones are copies of the same creation, with no unique qualities. God fashioned each one of us individually, designed for a special relationship with Him through His Son, that we may experience a special one on one relationship with Him.

God wants us to be living stones - not man made bricks. We are unique creations, fashioned by Him, to fulfill the destiny he designed us for.

In spite of what others may say, God wants you to be the righteous real you He designed you to be. Explore God's strategy for transforming into who you truly are in Christ.

God wants you to be you. God wants you – your personality, sense of humor, and life experiences. He wants you to be the righteous version of who He created you to be.

One of the most destructive beliefs in the world spiritually is that God is in control of everything. The golden thread through all the teachings of Jesus is the thread of personal responsibility. All His parables teach us to make choices that will always guarantee a good outcome.

When Jesus taught the principles of the Kingdom, He was not telling us how to be born again. He was telling us that if we want to live in righteousness, this is what it looks like. When we take His yoke – accepting His teachings, making Him Lord, applying the Word in love – we find rest.

When we are born again, it is only then that we have the capability of perceiving the kingdom of God. The Kingdom is an environment where individuals willfully submit to the Lordship of Jesus and personally connect with God in their heart, whereby they experience the resources of heaven.

We fall short of how good God is when holding to our own reality; therefore, we cannot go through that portal of our heart and enter the realm where we realize all the resources of God are right here for us. God’s goal is that we live in the Kingdom with such an incredible quality of life that we influence and touch the lives of others.

We did get an operator’s manual for life in the Bible, but because people don’t trust what God said they struggle to work the plan. Jesus taught us everything we need to know to have life at its best; He taught us the keys of the Kingdom.

Our nation is experiencing the last big push to overthrow true civil justice and to establish a socialist government where the government’s word replaces God’s word. It is not God bringing the downfall – it is iniquity bringing it. God is just and fair to everyone; every man shall face the same standard of justice.

No matter how bad the wickedness is on planet earth, God will always move to recover, redeem, and protect us. He is more generous than we deserve and expect.

Without mercy and truth, there is no justice. If we take truth apart from mercy, it will turn into legalism. If we take mercy apart from truth, it will turn into liberalism. Turn your heart to God and rule your life based on the justice of God’s Word by applying truth mercifully and with love.

We often ask, “What is fair?” If we don’t believe God is fair, we will never trust Him and more than likely, we have been indoctrinated by religion or Luciferianism. Jesus must become the focal point of interpretation of God; then we will surely be overwhelmed at how good God is!

It doesn’t matter where we start – what matters is the day we start over! God has paid an incredible price for us to have the best life imaginable. He has spent all of creation reaching toward people in trouble, drawing them to Himself, His purposes, and Divine Life!

God gets the wrap for being mean and hateful, but the truth is that generation after generation He shows love and compassion to people. God is filled with loving sympathy for human frailty, does not put people into situations of temptation, and eases the punishment of the guilty.

Most Christians struggle with whether God is fair. If we say God allows something, we infer that He could have stopped it but didn’t. We will not go to the one bringing pain in our life to find solutions. Rather we will be angry or hold a grudge against them. Join me here to find confidence in God’s fairness.

Socialization is an important biblical principle to living in victory and making life work for us, but not when we are being programmed with messages that go against the Word of God. Jesus said to take His yoke, His Lordship; then we will have the best God offers.

God has a view. His view is real. Our view is distorted by our emotions, limited understanding, and corrupt beliefs of the heart. I want to live in God’s reality; anything less than that is not God’s glory.

We won’t experience the goodness of God if we don’t believe the goodness of God. Believing is in a continuum with experiencing. When we experience God’s goodness, our capacity to believe expands greatly!

There is a secret to transformation that lasts: it doesn’t require effort! Anything that requires effort we will one day get tired of doing! Transformation takes place because we believe and perceive God as He really is. A download of power and Life transforms us effortlessly.

Redefining words is one of the most subtle and powerful tactics for twisting the truth. Most argumentative questions come to us because people have an agenda and a desperate need to be right. Recognizing this will help reduce conflict and remove confusion in understanding the Bible.

The life we settle for is not the normal Christian life; experiencing God’s promises should be our normal! Our perception of God and self are often “less than.” Join me this week to learn how to live a new normal!

When faced with a negative situation, your first response determines the path you walk to get out of that situation. Speak the Word of God into it and wait for the peace of God that passes understanding. If Job had known what we know, he never would have gone through all that.

God wants us to have the best life possible, but we don’t know how to get there – is it my part or God’s part? Join me this week and I will show you how to get there!

Sin always begins with a sense of lack. If you’ve found yourself in a ditch and don’t even know how you got there, watch this week’s CyberChurch teaching to gain perspective for getting out and never getting in another one!

Job's friends believed God had cursed him and they are often quoted as theologically sound, but when God finally speaks He rebukes and corrects Job! Don’t adopt the error of Balaam and believe that God has cursed anyone. He is only and always good!

Religion has wrongly condoned and often instigated the blaming of God for our tests and trials, but the Bible clearly states that God tests no one! Join me this week for a better understanding of God’s interaction with satan and with Job.

People often quote this statement from the book of Job. But it is very important to understand the difference between an historical account and what God actually says. Join me this week to see the true context of this statement.

Job is a book people often refer to when they blame God for their difficulty. Join me this week to examine some reasons we cannot logically do that. Criminals and Mafia control by fear with the threat of danger or injury. Is God no better than a criminal? Far from it! His names are Healer, Deliverer, Provider! Everything good comes from Him!

People often quote this statement from the book of Job. But it is very important to understand the difference between an historical account and what God actually says. Join me this week to see the true context of this statement.

Righteousness has to start from the heart. No amount of good behavior can produce it. When we believe God is for us and not against us; when we trust His love rather than expect His wrath, we will develop a hunger and thirst to be like Him. This is righteousness produced in our heart which will bear fruit in our lives.

If you are earning righteousness, it’s about you, not Jesus. Our righteousness is only because we are in Jesus. As we harmonize our lives with how He demonstrated righteousness, we find it is the easiest way to live!

The parable of the narrow gate is about the Kingdom, not about getting saved. Getting born again allows us to perceive the Kingdom realm. Join me this week as we look closely at what Jesus said was hard about entering the narrow gate.

When our life is great and we know it is because of God, we fall more and more in love with Him and those around us want to know Him as we do. Let’s harmonize our paradigm with God’s so we can live and walk in the unseen heavenly dimension!

If we decide that any area of life is as good as it can get, our heart and mind immediately go to work limiting our lives to that place. Don’t settle! Keep seeking and keep finding the path of divine life as God has intended for us!

God designed mankind to live in pleasure. We can participate in the realm of the Kingdom right now and enjoy safety, protection, provision, peace – all things pertaining to life and godliness! Join me here to look at the biblical reality of living heaven on earth!

Jesus taught principles of living by priority. When first things are truly considered first, your heart is in the best place for receiving the maximum benefit available for whatever you are doing!

The greatest witness is the person who draws others to God by their joy, peace, and demonstrations of love. The way we become such a witness is by abiding in the Kingdom - the realm where all the resources of God are available and accessible. This is truly more than a state of mind; it is a way of living!

The New Covenant has the same promises as the Old Covenant, but the Bible says it is a better covenant. Join me this week where I will help you enter the realm in which you recognize and know how to access all the promises of God!

How does Satan transform himself into an angel of light? Knowing the biblical answer to this question gives us the answer to the true demoralization of America and the reason so many churches have become carnal and weak. The deception of the church and the world is not happening the way you might think. We have been lulled into a sleep that can render us incapable of recognizing the deception that is destroying our life, our nation, and the world. Join me this week in Impact CyberChurch and learn the strategies of the deceivers, the false messengers of light, as we unveil: Angels of Light Authors of Deception.

The Biblical promise of God’s provision is an area that has been so twisted and perverted that few people know what God actually promises. God’s name and nature is that of a provider. He has always sought to be the source of our provision. The corrupt prosperity message of the 80s & 90s was greed driven foolishness. But on the other extreme there were those who taught that poverty was spiritual. When Jesus taught us to pray He revealed that having our needs met was one of the key factors for avoiding temptation. Join me this week in Impact CyberChurch as we explore New Covenant Provision and how we incorporate that into our prayer life!

For many prayer is all about getting the cure, finding the answer, and responding to the crisis. But in New Covenant Prayer we move to the place of prevention and protection! This is the place where we realign our motives, actions, and beliefs with God. This is where we guard our heart by dealing with situations that would make us vulnerable to temptation. Stop waiting until you’re in trouble to pray! Join me this week in Impact CyberChurch and I’ll teach you How to Set Your Life in Order. Your prayer life will never be the same!

Too much of our prayer life is asking God to do what He has told us to do, and asking Him to give us what we already have in Christ! True prayer is where we put on the new man. It is prayer in which we bind and loose, put off and put on. God has already decided that the Kingdom can come in our hearts today. The problem is we haven’t decided. Because of religious traditions we are asking the wrong question and ignoring all the real answers! Join me this week in Impact CyberChurch and I’ll show you how to Establish the Kingdom of God in your life!

Knowing God as Father is essential to a life of prayer. Unfortunately we tend to use the word Father with little realization of what it means in our lives. If God is our Father and we are His children and heirs, then everything about our approach to God changes! As heirs we already know that all He has is ours. This is the end of questioning, pleading, or seeking to determine if God is willing. This is the very reason Jesus taught us to connect to God as Father before we deal with any of our needs. Join me this week in Impact CyberChurch and discover the freedom of Knowing God as Father.

Struggling to have a prayer life? It seems that the majority of believers struggle to have a meaningful prayer life! Everyone wants to connect with God, but religion has made it so complicated, mystical, and legalistic that it is nearly impossible to have a loving, faith-filled, and vibrant prayer life. But no more! Starting this week I will help you move into New Covenant prayer based on the finished work of Jesus. No more legalism, no more toiling… just praying and getting results! Join me this week in Impact CyberChurch for Effective, Fervent Prayer!

Perfect faith is what we all long for. It’s the kind of faith that believes and remains immovable until it actually sees the manifestation. Perfect faith has many undergirding components, and the very first is patience. Patience is the ability to endure. When taken within the context of its use in Scripture it’s the ability to endure under pressure without wavering. Pressure is what causes us to waver: When wavering we have moments of complete trust in God and then we move to questioning or even fear. The Scripture is very clear that a person who “wavers” lacks the capacity to “take hold of” that for which they believe. This week in Impact CyberChurch we will discover God’s incredible instructions for Moving from Dead Faith to Perfect Faith.

One of the greatest misunderstandings of New Covenant faith lies in the Old Covenant idea that we are attempting to believe so God will give us something instead of believing what God has already given us in Christ! So, the greatest struggle of faith isn't, “What can I get from God?” The greatest struggle of faith is, “Do I believe what I already have in Christ?” I don't need to get healed, I need to let go of the beliefs I have about trying to get healing. My so-called faith, to get anything from God, is actually a testament to my lack of belief in what was freely given at the cross. Everything we need for life and godliness was given freely at the cross. New Covenant faith believes in what we have been given, and Old Covenant faith tries to get something to be given. Join me this week in Impact CyberChurch as we talk about The Finished Work of Jesus; make the shift from Old Covenant faith to New Covenant faith and start enjoying the life God has freely given.

Faith doesn’t begin by trying to believe what God will do. The beginning of faith is who God is! Religion has twisted the image of God to such a degree that people read the Bible and still can’t see the obvious truth: God is good and only good! While many seek special revelation to understand God, the true disciple looks to His Word. His Word is light, i.e. the revelation of His character and nature, His wisdom and all that we need to know to live life at its best! Join me in Impact CyberChurch this week and let’s examine Faith and the Word of God. You’re going to discover a new value and comfort in God’s Word like never before.

Religion places inordinate emphasis on getting right. It presents the idea that God cannot and will not love and accept you until you “get right.” Then they provide their own personal list of what it will take to get right with God. God the loving Father, on the other hand, sent Jesus so we could get whole. Everything God desires to do in your life emerges from wholeness. Join me in Impact CyberChurch this week and finally break free from the demand to get right by your works, and discover the loving journey of getting whole!

Everyone has their own personal past that robs us of the future God desires for us to have. Join me this week for Impact CyberChurch as I share some of my personal history. I will share how I came to believe I was unlovable and destroyed every relationship I had until the Love of God made me whole. This week I will help you find the path to a life of wholeness through the love of God!

Walking with Jesus is not a journey of testing and hardship from God. It is a journey of healing and restoration. In the Old Testament Jesus was presented as a Shepherd who desires to restore our soul: our thinking and emotions. In the New Testament we are told He wants our soul to prosper; He wants to heal our broken heart. Our highest call is to be in an intimate relationship with our Father and Creator. That can only happen when we are made whole through His healing love! Join me this week in Impact CyberChurch and let’s make the journey into the restoration of our soul!

We don’t see with our eyes; we see with our brain. Our brain interprets the images that come through the eyes and we believe that to be reality. Likewise, we don’t perceive with our brain. Our five senses receive data from the outside world that is interpreted by our heart. That perception of the world is what drives all of our reactions to the world. A person suffering from PTSD (no matter how moderate or extreme) is reacting to a world that only exists in their perception. When our perception is different than reality our reaction is always inappropriate. Those dealing with past emotional pain are never capable of dealing with the present. Their inappropriate reactions to the present are not based on what is happening in the present, but based on the perceptions of a broken heart. According to Jesus, the prison of the brokenhearted is a prison of perception. Join me and others all around the world this week in Impact CyberChurch as I help you find freedom from The Prison of Perception. When your broken heart is healed you will see yourself differently, then you can see God differently and ultimately you will see the world differently!

Emotional debt is all unresolved pain of our past that is deposited into our cellular memory and subconsciously controls our life! Everyone is making payments on their emotional debt. When we have the opportunity for happiness, success, and fulfillment those buried traumas arise and destroy that opportunity. Lost opportunities are the payments we make on our unresolved pain of the past. The new trauma is like the interest on a credit card, no matter how often we pay, we just can’t pay it off! When you find yourself sabotaging current opportunities you can be sure you are dealing with past pain. This repeated process will destroy your capacity to be the person you want to be, live the life you want to live and have any hope for the future. Join me and tens of thousands of others around the world in Impact CyberChurch as I share insight into Freedom from Emotional Suicide.

Everyone has pain from their past that negatively affects their life. Jesus called this a “broken heart.” In fact, dealing with healing the broken heart was so important it was the very first message Jesus preached when beginning His ministry. A broken heart is a form of what we call Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. This is when a trauma of the past causes us to react to current situations in ways that are irrational and destructive to our present life. Join me this week as I share about overcoming the pain of the past in my new Impact CyberChurch message Emotional PTSD! I want to help you leave the past behind and enjoy the future God promised!

The ultimate devastation of any form of PTSD is that the person loses the ability to be themselves. Whether your PTSD is from the trauma of war, a failed marriage, sexual abuse or rejection, the result is the same: loss of your true identity! The heart is the real you. It is the seat of all deep feelings and beliefs and it is the combining of spirit and soul that comprises your true identity. As such, it is the seat of self-awareness; therefore, it is impossible to see ourselves as God sees us when our heart is broken, i.e. when we are suffering from spiritual PTSD. Join me in Impact CyberChurch this week as I share Spiritual Healing for PTSD. I want to help take you beyond the pain of PTSD to the ultimate healing: recovering your true identity!
