Strength For The Day
By
February 12, 2009My dear friends... We just received this unsolicited email from Wichita, KS. With the economic climate being what it is, I am taking the unprecedented step of giving up my commentary to share a very powerful and inspiring testimony. Take a minute now to read this carefully. It just might save the day for you! Here it is... Good Morning Michael, Tim here in Kansas! I thought I would share with you what I have been doing for the last 30+ days and how blessed I am to have done so! I decided to carry with me everyday, "The Bible Incorporated" so that I could redeem 3 minutes here and 5 minutes there throughout the day with quick, concise Bible scripture thoughts. Early in January as I was reading chapter 9, "The Key of Strength", I was so overcome by the joyful and comforting presence of God that I could hardly get myself pulled back together to get the rest of my sales appointments completed for the day. To think and to continually meditate on the fact that, "The Lord is my strength! Who/What is there to be afraid of?" I am just as susceptible to the rampant fear of financial insecurity that is plaguing our country right now as anyone else. Even if I get myself into a right mind and right attitude, I still have to deal with my prospects and customers and their fears and their attitudes, (what a ministry that is becoming!) While I was giving thanks to the Lord for just this one chapter and what it meant to me to know HIM as my STRENGTH and my REDEEMER... the inspired, (I believe), thought came to me... Chapter 9 for 2009!!! So, "Chapter 9, The Bible Incorporated" is the first thing I read every morning! It is the first declaration that I make in my daily prayer closet..." Lord, YOU are my STRENGTH! YOU are my SAVING STRENGTH! I seek you out this morning to be my SAVING STRENGTH! Make my way perfect with YOUR POWER and STRENGTH! I am going from STRENGTH to STRENGTH this year! I have no confidence in my flesh or the flesh of this world. I am of the circumcision that worships God in the Spirit! I am made perfect in weakness. YOUR grace is sufficient for me! I am strong and courageous! I fear not for YOU are with me! YOUR Rod and Staff lead me, guide me, and protect me! YOU will not forsake me! YOU will strengthen me! YOU will help me! Yes, YOU will uphold me with YOUR right hand! YOU increase me! My clean hands receive POWER to get wealth today to establish YOUR covenant forever!" Man!!! You can't help but have a good day when you start it like that!!! By the way, I set an all time production and margin record for my BANK in January! Yes, I said my employer is a BANK! While most other banks are truly suffering right now... My God is blessing me with RECORD sales and RECORD profit for my BANK! And February has started just as strong as January did! To GOD be all the GLORY!!! "Chapter 9 in 2009"! Maybe the rest of your subscribers will be as blessed as I am by making this same commitment! I have already dog-eared my leather bound copy of "The Bible Incorporated, In Your Life, Job, and Business". It's over 10 years old now and I've read from nearly every week and now daily! Do you still have the leather bounds? Maybe you can make us all a deal? I'll buy another one! Note: Well friends, we don't have them in leather any more, but I decided to make them available at a 30% discount even for individual copies. Up to 70% discount for case quantities. We definitely have a limited supply. First come, first serve. Click here to order.

Thanks to brother Tim in Wichita for the idea about reading Chapter 9 in '09. I'm struggling like many of you are doing. trying to get a Internet marketing business started. At age 80 and not very computer savy I've really placed it in the Lord's hands. I have the Rainforest CD's and now just starting to study Rainforest Strategy book. Thanks,Michael for these tools. Bob

WOW!!! Thanks for that! We are refusing to submit to the pressure of the \"economic downturn\". Even though we are suffering through potentially being foreclosed on in less then 30 days, and having lost almost all our portfolio.....we still say PRAISE GOD because it is through and by HIM that we have STRENGTH to stand and endure with JOY and PEACE.....thank you for the morning prayer! That brightened my day!

Our God is an AWESOME GOD!!!!!
Not a few minutes ago I was sharing some words of encouragemnt with a casual acquaintance and the Lord laid on my heart Isaiah 41:10 which has been an anchor for my soul for almost a decade as my family and I have been through horrific circumstances. I came in from sharing and read this email and the Holy Spirit just quickened to me... as you water, you will be watered. Thank you God for Your refreshing.
As God leads, pray for sales deals to close in the very near future. Mine as well as several others jobs depend on this. I have peace and am working hard and praying for God's favor and blessing in this request. He will be faithful... it's Who He Is!
God Bless,
Dave White

The bibles were sold out---will you have more

It is encouraging to hear of how God spoke to Tim and how powerfully our God is blessing him and giving him favor in the eyes of his employer. I can testify to the same incredible blessings in Columbia, South Carolina.
I recently accepted a position as Director of Finance in December 2008 with a company, due to contract losses, laid off more than 80 people in January 2009. I also am being sought after to assist 2 other companies in a part time capacity in similar roles. God, through my new position as well as the part time consulting opportunities, is providing my family with incredible prosperity when so many around us are struggling.
I do believe that God is beginning a move to transfer the wealth and prosperity from the ungodly to those in His Kingdom who have been wise, faithful, dilligent stewards of what he has provided.
I pray my first post to this blog is encouraging. Praise God.

I didn't get to read the post until today, Feb 14th. I looked to see about ordering a book for me and one for my son and see that they all are sold out. Will you be having any more in the future?
Rob Berger at 11:48am EST - February 14, 2009
Congratulations on selling out of your Bible Incorporated books - individual and case lots. OK, now when will you have some more?
Charlie Hunsaker at 12:36pm EST - February 14, 2009
I bought a case of The Bible Incorporated sometime ago and have a number left. I'll be glad to sell them at the same price Michael was asking.
Bob Hilsmeier at 12:39pm EST - February 14, 2009
To Bob Hilsmeier:
I am interested in two copies, if you still have any. My e-mail is rgberger50@wowway.com
Rob Berger at 8:28pm EST - February 15, 2009
To Bob: I would love to buy a copy. beverly@lifepoitspeaker.com
Thanks, Michael for a very inspiring post.

Dear Friends,
Thank you so much for the overwhelming support and kind words about our messages and about The Bible Incorporated. That title has been in print just over 20 years, which is amazing! To God be the glory! The response to Tim's testimony was overwhelming and our shelves were cleaned out before the end of the day. We self publish that title now, so it may be a couple of months before we get in a new supply. Don't worry - we will print The Bible Incorporated again. As soon as we have them in stock, we will send out a notice to let everyone know.
Many Blessings to You All,
Cheryl

The style of writing is quite familiar to me. Have you written guest posts for other blogs?
Heartburn Home Remedy at 8:19am EDT - April 15, 2009
no... I am not sure if you are complimenting me or not on the 'style of writing' part! But interestingly enough I am about to publish my first book. What's makes that funny to me is that the Editor is now bald for all the changes he has needed to make to my 'style of writing!!!' lol...
Thanks,
Be Blessed
