She anwered the phone in tears...

Last night my sister answered the phone in tears.

She entered the hospital the previous day for tests after having "the crud" for four days with no relief in sight. An hour prior to my phone call, the doctor presented the tests results. She has bone cancer.

"Our family has beaten this once and we will beat it again" she adamantly responded.
Last September (2014) she completed her chemotherapy and radiation to successfully defeat breast cancer after receiving the diagnosis in February 2014.

God willing, I know that she will also win this battle! Psalm 139, along other passages and the totality of scripture, assures us of God's complete sovereignty.

This complete sovereignty includes our willingness to hear and obey His commands. Solomon receives great wisdom and numerous other gifts after replying to God with a request for a discerning heart, which is literally a hearing heart.

Requesting a hearing heart does not guarantee our receiving a physically and financially glorious life. Rather, a hearing heart provides us with hearing God's wisdom, receiving His Peace, Joy, Gratitude and desire for continual Prayer (1 Thess 5:16-18) because this is God's will for us in Christ Jesus. 

God placed on my heart the urgency to once again take Cellgevity which produces intracellular Glutathione, your body's master antioxidant.

With cancer having an affect on every member of my immediate family except me, prudence demands my taking precautions to avoid becoming a victim. Yes, I believe in prayer, a joyful heart, laughter, positive attitude and a healthy diet.

Yet, wisdom demands my accepting and using tools that God places in my path. For example, in the frigid temperature of winter I wear a hat, gloves and coat. Yet, I still accept the heater in my car, my home along with the furnace in my home.

Does wisdom demand you accepting and using tools that God places in your path? Perhaps your immediate family has no history of cancer. Great, neither did cancer exist in my parents' immediate families, yet they still received a diagnosis.

Does increasing your intracellular Glutathione guarantee that you never have cancer? Of course not, neither does following all of the traffic laws guarantee that an automobile will never strike you or that you will never die while driving. Increasing your intracellular Glutathione along with prayer, joy, laughter and good diet DOES increase your likelihood of avoiding cancer.

Glutathione enhances ones ability to exercise which increases one's overall health. Cellgevity increases intracellular glutathione to levels 300% (+/-) greater than other methods and products.

Let's put ourselves in a position to win with accepting the opportunity to increase our intracellular glutathione with Cellgevity.

Yes, I pray before I drive, yet I also wear my seatbelt and assure that my vehicle receives regularly scheduled maintenance. Let's continue praying for good, cancer free health, yet let's enhance our body's protecting cells with Cellgevity and increased Glutathione.

Your reading this blog and links is for a purpose (Ps 139:14). Would you agree, hearing your loved one answer the phone in tears breaks your heart? How will you respond?

See Christ, Believe Christ, Achieve with Christ!

Runner's Bible Study: Can we Really do all things through Christ who strengthens us?

Great achievements demand great performances. Great performances demand exceptional spiritual, emotional and physical power and endurance.

Before tough races and tough workouts we runners (and other athletes) often recite Philippians 4:13 proclaiming, “I can do all things through Him (Christ) who strengthens me.”

The starter's gun explodes, echoing across the landscape, the sound waves ricocheting off buildings like freshly hit pool balls bouncing around the table. Our well tuned bodies' transform potential energy into kinetic energy as we quickly disappear into the landscape. The race is on! 

We surge into the remote, untamed frontier of human performance innately knowing that success mandates pushing ourselves beyond the unexplored limits of physical, spiritual and emotional ability.

Doubt and exhaustion dart through this wilderness like a ravenous bear emerging from hibernation, waiting to pounce on the emotionally weak and underprepared.

Does proclaiming (Phil 4:13) with enough faith/belief (Matthew 21:22) enable us to name and claim any pace for the entire race?

 “But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at last you have revived your concern for me; indeed, you were concerned before, but you lacked opportunity. Not that I speak from want, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am. I know how to get along with humble means, and I also know how to live in prosperity; in any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of being filled and going hungry, both of having abundance and suffering need.

I can do all things through Him (Christ) who strengthens me. (Phil 4:13)

Nevertheless, you have done well to share with me in my affliction. You yourselves also know, Philippians, that at the first preaching of the gospel, after I left Macedonia, no church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving but you alone; for even in Thessalonica you sent a gift more than once for my needs. Not that I seek the gift itself, but I seek for the profit which increases to your account. But I have received everything in full and have an abundance; I am amply supplied, having received from Epaphroditus what you have sent, a fragrant aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well-pleasing to God. And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:10–19, NASB95)

Does the context of this scripture (Ph. 4:10-19) support using verse 13 as a stand-alone motivational one-liner?
Does this verse empower any Christian to do whatever we want, whenever we want, wherever we want and however we want to do something?

What is the Holy Spirit (2 Ti 3:16)—through Paul—saying to the Philippians?

Did God provide Paul's needs despite Paul's financial status?
How did Paul respond to the emotional, financial and spiritual challenges>

Let’s examine how we may apply this passage to our lives today.

What is the context of this scripture (Phil 4:13)?

Audience:       Philippi


Financial Condition Paul's Supporters: Poor (2 Co 8:1, 2)

Nationality:    Greeks

Paul’s Locale: Roman Prison

Purpose of this letter:

• What “all things” did Paul do since his conversion to Christianity (Acts 9)?
  1. First Missionary Journey
  1. Paphos (Acts 13:6-12)
  2. Lystra (Acts 14:8-19)
  1. Did the stones thrown by the Jews harm Paul (Acts 14:19)?
  2. Did Paul survive the stoning?
  3. How does Paul respond to the being stoned, dragged and "left for dead."
  2. Second Missionary Journey
  1. Asia (Acts 16:6)
  2. Bithynia (Acts 16:7)
  3. Troas (Acts 16:9-11)

  c. In Rome?
  
  

• How did Paul approach challenges?
1. Does he have a pity party?
2. Does Paul continue to serve God and share the gospel of Christ?
• Does Paul use the “name it, claim it” philosophy advocated by the Prosperity Gospel to alleviate his problems?

• Or does Paul acknowledge that God allows challenges for God's glory?
• What is the purpose / motive in doing “all things”?

• Does Paul seek self-glorification, publicity through his ministry?

  Does Paul consider enduring "all things" to spread the gospel worth it to serve and glorify God? 
• How do we appropriately apply this to our Running?

• Can we run any pace in any run or race that we desire?

  Is every run and /or race amazing if our faith and belief are sufficient?
  Does God empower us to endure the all circumstances when we are in Christ, seeking the Father's will?
  What direction does Paul, Luke, Silas and Timothy sail from Troas to Macedonia?
  How does this compare to the typical direction of prevailing winds?
  How long does it take them to sail from Troas to Macedonia, and how long does it late take to sail from Macedonia to Troas?
  When considering the comparison of both the time of travel and the travel direction in relation to the prevailing wind, how do these factors reveal God's power (i.e. being in Christ)?
• How do we appropriately apply this to the rest of our life?

• Does this passage guarantee "success" for Christians?

  Does God's word and Paul's example teach us that when we walk with Christ, seeking the Father's will, that we can enjoy a peace-filled heart while enduring whatever challenges arise? 
• How do we position ourselves to reside and operate in or “through Him/Christ”?
1. Matthew 7:21
2. Matthew 22:37-39
3. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
4. Galatians 5:16,18,22-23,24-25
•  Does the Bible provide standards to display our failing to operate in or "through Him/Christ?
1. Galatians 5:17,19,20-21,26

When you run and live in Christ, your physical, emotional, financial, relational and spiritual (Eph 6:12) may continue to challenge you beyond previously known limits. Your brain, reasoning, physical and financial senses may beg for relief. Yet, your heart will simultaneously experience the internal peace that surpasses all human logic and understanding.

Keep running in Christ, He will provide and sustain us for our every assignment within His will.

"Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:4–7, NASB95)

Always share the Gospel

“Rick Meyer challenged each us to be bold in our witness.  He provided a great example of being bold in our witness—pray that we will be bold”

The referenced example that I shared with the Sunday School class involved my following a prompting to speaking gently with love about Jesus Christ during a public seminar on Microsoft Excel in Oxnard, CA three weeks ago. 

Upon hearing the name of Jesus, one man's eyes raged with flames of anger.

I trust and pray that the Holy Spirit continues to reveal the eternal relationship, including salvation through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, to this attendee (John 3:16-21, 18-19, 20-21).

The eyes of others in the room radiantly beamed with love and the refreshing gentleness of soft rain.

Some may suggest that one should not speak of Jesus Christ during a public seminar. Yet, obedience to Christ and the indwelling Holy Spirit trumps everything.

God--The Father, the Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit--made EVERYTHING that is, has been or will be (Jn 1:1, 2, 3). This includes MS Excel. :)

In response to a Sunday School class email containing prayer requests, including the one above, I wrote the following:

Gentlemen,

Permit me to add a four or five more examples. Stories are necessary.

I have a tape, yes a cassette tape, in my car of a speech given by Dr. Ken McFarland at a convention in 1984. Dr. McFarland shared numerous stories to support, “We have a become a nation of slogans rather than thought.”

This is even more true in this modern age of social media and everyone wanting to create their own slick one-liners due to failure to live what we know is right. Linked-In and Twitter posts consist of  virtually all impersonal, non-relational one-liners.

 

1.      At a get-together following my high school graduation, I visited briefly with an underclassman whom I had never met. I felt an urge, prompting or hunch to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with him. I was extremely quiet in those days.

      I reasoned that this wasn’t the proper time to share the gospel. I do not know his spiritual beliefs.

       About 30-minutes later he and a classmate died in a one vehicle accident. I can’t control whether he is or was not a Christian, however I can respond to the urgency that God displayed to me about sharing the gospel whenever, wherever and however God places it on my heart.

2.      May 2007 at the Billy Graham School of Evangelism in Asheville, NC: I visited with a gentleman who recently moved from a poor^POOR rural African nation to America. He said that in his poor^POOR African home they view the financially affluent in American cities as a Missions Field.

3.      October 2008: I moved to a new town for a new job. I frequently saw a neighbor, “Bob”, in front of his home across the my lawn. I waved, said “Hi” as I drove to work, run and run errands. Each time that I saw him, I thought, “One of these days I need to stop and visit with him”. “Not now, rather when I have more time.” This continued for eight or nine months.

      I was gone over Fourth of July weekend. I did not see Bob the following week. I then learned that he committed suicide Fourth of July weekend due to loneliness.

4.      April 2015--A message from a seminar attendee:

       “I realized why I needed to drive an hour each way for yours (workshop). I needed to hear what YOU had to say. Actually, I needed to hear what HE had to say through you!

 

       You reminded me that we literally are vessels of light for Christ, and that there is nothing more important than submitting ourselves to His will. Thank you so much for shining his light in your lessons.”

5.    April 2015--A message from another Running on Faith Ministry Inc. supporter:  

        “As I drove, I realized that you are really working for God. I know we all do but He has put you in a special position. I don't know if you realize it or not but you radiate.  

      Now I know what it is, you are radiating God's love.

     

       I am so grateful that God has put you in a position to help so many young people as well as some older ones that have not yet experienced the love of Jesus, God's principles for a beautiful, fulfilling life and the plan that He has for us because of His deep, enduring  love for us.”

 

To be clear, we can not make any one believe or not believe, rather it is the power of the Holy Spirit and the person's response to the Spirit. However, God does call us to obediently serve as bond-servants of Christ. I have failed to do so as illustrated in examples #1 and #3 and MANY other times, too numerous to count.

 

Perhaps you are like me and have blown a plethora of opportunities to serve God, ignoring His promptings due to feeling inadequate or too busy. Fortunately, God is good and gracious, continually calling us and offering new opportunities for us to correctly respond. This gives me hope, Christ is the source of all Hope (1Ti 1:1, 1 Peter 1:3)!

As I recognize and reflect on abundant past mistakes, many that did not seem like mistakes at the time, I cannot imagine how many mistakes that I am currently making in failing to respond to appropriately serving God. How great is His Love, Grace and Mercy for each of us who turn to Him through the Lord Jesus Christ!

Receiving His inner-peace and joy that surpasses all human understanding serves as an effective indicator of walking with Him as an obedient servant (Ro 15:13; Phil 4:7). Additionally, walking in the Spirit (Gal 5:16) yields the fruit of the Spirit in our lives (Gal 5:22, 23).

 

Is it possible that you may encounter fellow sinners in your daily and professional life--believers and unbelievers--that need to hear the Love and Grace offered from and through Jesus Christ (Ro 3:23, 3:21,22)?

Who will God place in your path today?

They may wear a fancy suit or dress, expensive cologne or perfume, drive a luxury automobile and live in an exclusive neighborhood; yet they--like all of us--still need to hear and receive the gospel of Jesus Christ.

 

In Christ’s love,

Rick

Trust and Serve God

Last week in Gillette, WY and Billings, MT, several seminar attendees pulled me aside during breaks with surprising--to me--expressions of gratitude for my encouragement and "boldly, yet gently, sharing your faith."


Numerous times, attendees have thanked me for sharing the gospel while teaching. I am always surprised because I do not set specific goals of encouraging people or sharing my faith.


My prayer before teaching any topic, consists simply of "Lord, help me serve and glorify you today. For the cause of Christ, who may I serve today? Lord, you are joining today's attendees, myself and this topic for your purposes, far exceeding my wisdom. Let me act obediently to your desires in spite of myself."


Then, trusting God in faith, I freely speak whatever is placed on my heart.


Conversely, whenever I focus on secular goals I receive no comments such as those above. This reminds me that the more we focus on serving and glorifying God--including doing our job well, the deeper the positive impact is on others. As we know, all people and topics fall under God's domain.


"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being (John 1:1-3)."


Seek to serve and glorify God; all else will fall into place according to His wisdom (Mt. 6:33).

Achieve with Christ!
