At that time Lord Krishna revealed Himself right in the womb alongside of the child, and saved him from the scorching heat of the fire weapon.

Our mind is like a computer. How we program it is the way it’s going to function. You can have the most powerful computer ever made, the latest and fastest model, with the maximum amount of memory available, but if you put the wrong software in it, it’s not going to function as it was […]

When you’re pressured, you learn to STRETCH your faith. PRAY BOLD PRAYERS. BELIEVE for what looks impossible. The pressure is causing you to get stronger. Quit fighting it and learn to EMBRACE it. KRISHNA wouldn’t have allowed it if He wasn’t up to something. Maturity is being AT PEACE in the PRESSURE, TRUSTING in the […]

Krishna had all that and more planned for us since the beginning of time. He had the steppingstones all lined up before we were born. We simply had to take our TINY STEPS OF FAITH before our dreams became reality. In a purport to the BG 11/34 Prabhupada says, “The plans of the SPOG are […]

I’m predicting God centered changes in the lives of His devotees. A good New Years prayer might sound something like this. “Lord, please help me to use the 8,760 hours of this year the wisest way that I can for you, & for your glory.”

Nothing you’re doing has been wasted. Every time you show love, you are sowing these seeds.

Trust him with your closed doors. He controls the seasons. And sometimes you’re in spring for a long time, blossoming, fruitful, then the season changes. You come into winter.

I want to talk to you today about Getting a New Image. Many people are not reaching their potential not because they’re not talented, not because they don’t have favor. It’s because their Vision is limited. They don’t see themselves accomplishing their dreams, being blessed and living healthy. But you will never rise any higher […]

No matter what life sends our way, our attitude should be “I’m hurting but I’m STILL HERE.” A Friend did me wrong, but I’m STILL HERE. Business is slow, BUT I’M STILL HERE. Didn’t feel like coming to the temple today, but here I am. You gotta have a “made up mind. I’m going to […]

All the facts say “It’s impossible”, but KRISHNA ON PURPOSE will have you underestimated. When it seems the LEAST LIKELY, that’s when He shows up the GREATEST.

Now the question we need to ask ourselves is, “Am I making myself sick? Am I sabotaging my relationships? Am I limiting my potential? Am I holding myself down because my spirit is unhealthy”?

But here’s the key. Just because it’s uncomfortable doesn’t mean it’s not where we’re supposed to be. Krishna uses difficulties to do a work in us. We grow in the tough times. That’s when our character is being developed, and Krishna will not allow a difficulty unless he has a divine purpose for it. If […]
