Ask Yourself. If I engage in this battle, invest my time & energy, trying to straighten someone out, arguing, defending myself, trying to prove that I am right……EVEN IF I WIN THIS BATTLE, what is the prize going to be??? That person who cuts me off in traffic. If I cut him off, get upset […]

Krishna Never Forgets
Let’s have the attitude. Krishna, THANK YOU for remembering my dreams. You put them there in the first place. Thank you for remembering my destiny. Thank You for giving me a part to play in Your grand designs. Thank you for engaging me in Your service. Thank you that me and my family will serve […]
Who Is God?
“I am the source of all spiritual and material worlds. Everything emanates from Me” BG 10/8
Adding Value To Your Life
“Winners never stop learning. Krishna did not create us to reach one level and then stop. Whether you’re nine or ninety years old, you should constantly be learning, improving your skills, and getting better at what you do.” “You have to take responsibility for your own growth. Growth is not automatic. What steps are you […]
Victim or Victor? The Choice is Yours.
We are the persons we are today because of the decisions we have made. However, what is equally true is that all of us are the persons we are today because of the decisions we have NOT made. NOT TO DECIDE IS TO DECIDE to be a victim: victim of circumstances, a victim of others, […]
Fearless Through Faith
If we’re pessimistic, it’s using our Faith in Reverse…”I’ll never get the breaks.” That’s a statement of faith. Faith goes to work and makes it happen. Why not use your faith to think, Lord, MY life is in your hands. You are guiding and directing my steps. I’m not expecting defeat, or failure. I’m pumped […]
The Path of The Righteous
KRISHNA saves the BEST FOR NEXT. You may feel like you’re coming to an end. Opportunities are drying up. Doors are closing. Favor is expiring. What used to work is not working. Resources are depleted. You’re having a hard time making ends meet. Maybe you’re running out of strength. You feel weary, drained. You don’t […]
The Spirit Soul
When Lord Krishna found His Friend Arjuna aggrieved over the future deaths of his relatives, and, by extension, his own inevitable death, Krishna gave a two hour course on death, dying and life after death. That course is known as The Bhagavad Gita, the Song of God.
A Vision for the Future
If you will keep a BIG vision in front of you, Krishna will do something BIG in your life. He’ll take you to places you could never go on your own. He’ll talk your biggest God centered dream and SUPERSIZE them, open doors that no man can shut.
Set Times
Krishna is not a random God. He is a precise God. He has lined up solutions years before the problem arose. The Spanish Fork temple opened to the public on June 23, 2001. That was a time and date set by the Lord before He even created the universe. It is not an ordinary time. […]
Beginning a New Year
IT’S easy to get stuck into a rut in life. Lot of people are going to go into the New Year year coasting, on auto pilot, expecting the same things – same problems, same struggles, same income, same job, same level of joy. I’d like to speak faith into you tonight, hopefully, to ignite something […]
Sunshine on a Cloudy Day
But when we go around stressed out, worried, thinking it’s never going to change, that’s stopping the sun. It’s causing more clouds to roll in, more defeat, more mediocrity. You have to start letting some sunshine into your life. It doesn’t start with KRISHNA. It starts with us. The scripture puts it this way, when […]
Great Faith Activates Great Favor
“Krishna never faulted anyone for believing big, asking for your dreams, doing on His behalf what seems impossible. Thats’ what Krishna calls Great Faith. You’re showing Krishna that you believe how powerful He is. Maya would love for you to live with comfortable faith, faith in a box, faith for what you seen in the […]
The Geography of our Lives
A life lived always on mountaintops, all sunshine, everything going our way, is never going to grow us up. We’ll never reach the fullness of our destiny without the dark places, the valleys in life. Life in this material world is a mixture of (sun drenched) Mountains & (dark, gloomy) Valleys Without the dark there’s […]
Burning Off Impurities
We all face situations that are uncomfortable. We’re not getting our way. Dealing with a person who’s hard to get along with. Late for an appointment & caught in traffic. As much as we don’t like it, Krishna allows uncomfortable situations. Why? When we are put under pressure, it shows what we are made of.
Give Thanks in Everything
Learning to be thankful, whether to God or to other people, is the best vaccination against taking good fortune for granted. And the less you take for granted, the more pleasure and joy life will bring you. Hans Selye, who is considered the father of stress studies, has said that gratitude produces more positive emotional […]

Plant the seeds of devotion and patiently wait for the fruits of love peace, abundance and purpose. Know today that God is bigger than yr problems, bigger than […]
Unexpected Detours
I don”t know about you, but there certainly have been moments in my journey of faith when I have asked myself, “How in the world did I get myself in this mess?” “What wrong turn did I make?” “Where am I supposed to be going?” The attitude we choose in those moments when we are […]
Abiding vs Striving
The Lord says, “I am the vine, you are the branches. If you ABIDE in me, you will bear much fruit, for APART from me you can do nothing”. Imagine how important these words are. “THIS IS HOW you’re going to be successful. THIS IS HOW you’re going to overcome challenges. THIS IS HOW you’ll […]
Reversal of Fortune
KRISHNA is about to reverse some things in your life, things that look like they’ll never change, “You’ll never own your own business, never get into management, never write that book, never start that ministry”. No, get ready for a reversal. Things are going to SUDDENLY shift in your favor, Narada is going to show […]
