“In the world you will have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)

If you haven’t read the posts on yesterday’s blog, I recommend you do. It has to do with the trials we as the corporate body of Christ are walking through. I asked you to comment because the enemy of our soul wants us to feel alone… discouraged… fearful. Did I mention feeling very alone? Your comments put the enemy on the run!

Here’s the deal… Jesus told us we would have tribulations. He also promised “he that overcomes shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.” In fact, read Revelation 2 and 3 again. He has much to say about those who overcome. And how could we overcome if there wasn’t something to overcome? This is the moment we are living in right now. This is our opportunity to overcome! Blessed be the name of the Lord forever!

Make no mistake.
Greater trials are ahead for the nations of the world and for us as a people. We are currently in the workout room. Tomorrow we head into battle. (This I say by way of comparison and not to minimize the reality of our current battle.) To win in the battle going forward, I believe we need to be joined with a network of like minded, like hearted individuals who understand the gravity of the hour, the ferocity of the battle and the seriousness of the stakes!

Here is my commitment to you…
In response to the hour we’re in, I am dedicating this next season of my life to pulling together just such a network of people. I will invest heavily of my heart, my time and my finances into raising up a network of people who are called to the battle in the marketplace. I will work full time on their behalf, researching, seeking God and distilling into relevant, actionable intelligence the information and wisdom we need to overcome in the days ahead.

The investment on your part will be embarrassingly modest, but I cannot tread out the grain without eating a little along the way. It will be called the R.A.I.N. Report and it will be delivered to your door, not via email. It’s that important. (We will accommodate international subscribers via either a membership site or PDF delivery for the sake of speed and cost.) Those of you who have purchased the Rainforest Strategy book will get a 50% discount. (The book is foundational to concepts and content going forward.) Details will be following in the very near future.

It is my honor to serve with you!

Hello Friend,

I received this e-mail just now from Jeremy over at ChristianBusinessDaily.com.  I know how much Zig Ziglar has meant to many of you over the years and I didn’t want you to miss out on this opportunity.

Be sure to send your personal note to Zig today!

Blessings,

Michael,

Dear Michael,

I got an email yesterday that really inspired me.

It was from Tom Ziglar — the son of legendary speaker, salesman, author and Christian Zig Ziglar. He was updating folks on Zig’s condition, since the terrible fall down a flight of stairs he had a while back.

Yesterday’s email included a short video from Zig, talking to his daughter.

I can’t help but be inspired every time Zig speaks, even as he deals with his health and memory issues. His outlook on life is contagious, and he’s helped thousands — hundreds of thousands — of people over the years.

While watching the video, I was reminded of a set of Zig Ziglar CDs I have on my shelf here at the office. We used to promote them on CBD. The program was called “Christian Motivation for Daily Living” and it features Zig — at his prime — sharing motivational material that’s grounded in biblical truth.

I had forgotten just how powerful and motivational these programs are — one of his best programs ever I believe, because it’s targeted SPECIFICALLY to Christian leaders.

In honor of Zig Ziglar - and all that he has accomplished - I want to invite you to order this program today. If you already own it, you should buy a copy for a young colleague who could benefit from Zig’s wisdom and motivation. I’m going to order another copy too.

If you don’t own it — perhaps you missed the promotions we did a few years ago and weren’t aware of Zig’s impact — then you really should consider buying all three volumes. When you do the math, it’s kind of like getting Zig’s amazing teaching for about $11/hour. A no brainer!

You can learn more about the program here.

Be sure to order 1, 2, 3 or 10 copies of this amazing program today! We’ll ship them out right away, and you’ll find them to be a motivational blessing that you can pop in your CD player and listen to on your way to the office, or while traveling on vacation this summer. Your order will support the ministries of Zig Ziglar AND ChristianBusinessDaily at the same time.

God’s Blessings to You This Weekend,

P.S. I almost forgot the most important part! Next week, we will send a personal letter to Zig from all of us at Christian Business Daily — thanking him for the impact he’s had on us, and we’ll report on how many of our readers have ordered — and reordered this classic program in his honor. If you want to post a personal note of encouragement to Zig - you can include that in the comments on the order form, and we’ll make sure your comments are included.

My dear friends… I spent 4 years studying and walking out the lessons from the Tabernacle of Moses before making them available to you.

No teaching or revelation has impacted my life more. I am asking you, indeed urging you to read this whole email, check out the offer it links you to and get yourself one of the FREE sets (yes, there is a string attached), before this offer goes out to hundreds of thousands beginning tomorrow and we run out of the FREE sets. You will thank me later… (o-:

How Pursing God Trumps the Pursuit of Riches - Every Time!

7 Ancient Paths to Wealth, Wisdom & the Wonder of God
(THE RAINCATCHER’S SECRET)

“But God” I asked, “How am I ever going to get out of this financial hole?”

“Pursue Me”, the Lord responded simply.

“But God, I thought I had been doing that and look at the difficulty I’m in now. What do you mean, ‘Pursue Me’?”

“Pursue Me” the Lord answered again.

I was frustrated. I wanted a list of things to do. God wanted me.

“But how do I pursue You? I obviously haven’t been doing that very well. Would you please explain that?”

The Lord answered a third and final time with an authority I knew not to question further. “Pursue ME.”

With That, I Purposed to Rise Each Morning and Pursue God like Never Before
My wife and I had just returned from Guatemala where we had the best and worst experience of our life. The best because of the harvest of souls and seeing God manifest Himself mightily and the worst because we took a terrible financial beating.

I was in desperate need of answers and all God would tell me is to pursue Him. If that’s all He tells you, you best be doing it! For me, it meant abandoning my idea of twenty minutes of quiet time each day. Instead, I would read my Bible and pray - until… Until His presence showed up and until, that same presence lifted. I found out that He was always glad to meet me in the morning and never in a hurry to leave. My quiet times were never less than an hour, usually lasted for two or three hours and it was not rare for it to go four or five hours. If God showed up, I was not about to leave.

We had only $300 cash…
Our credit line was exhausted and there was no more room on our credit cards. With no work lined up, we were in desperate straits. The first thing God dealt with me on was covetousness. The sin Paul compares to idolatry. Not very pretty. I was stricken with grief and the first thing we did was take the $300 we had left and wired it to a widow and orphan we had met in Guatemala.

Within days, God had impressed upon folks to help us out with some cash and we went to Dallas where we met with Chuck Pierce for breakfast. His prophetic word for us was one of the goads we stood upon to climb out of the pit. Then an old friend called from Canada announcing that he had been praying and the Holy Spirit told him to contact me. He wanted some business counsel and asked my fee. I told him if the Holy Spirit told him to call, He could also tell him what to pay. He received my counsel and as it turns out, God was quite generous.

As I kept pursuing God, He kept revealing mysteries to me.
While I pursued Him and grew in Him, He also brought me a steady stream of unbelievable opportunities for book deals, television production, favor with national ministries, etc and a steady, growing stream of professional clients. It has been 13 years and the stream has never shut off and I’ve never had to look for another client or opportunity since. I quit trying to be the rainmaker and simply followed the cloud of God and became a professional raincatcher and it has made all the difference!

Perhaps the most profound mystery I learned during this season was from the Tabernacle of Moses. I had always seen it as a foreshadowing of God’s plan of salvation but now I learned to glean additional lessons from that sacred pattern that could be applied to business or life in general.

What I discovered liberated me from performance-driven behavior and left me seated at the feet of Jesus being taught by God through His Word how to profit (among other things) using seven powerful lessons from the Tabernacle of Moses to poll vault me further than I had ever gone in the world of business. Just one of the lessons, The Power of the Threefold Blessing revealed throughout Scripture will open your eyes to dimensions you may never have dreamed possible.

If you are tired of chasing riches…
If you want to be through only seeing them take flight like an eagle (Proverbs 23:5) and would rather chase after God and learn how to let Him add everything you need to your life, I invite you to examine closely this special teaching, The RainCatcher’s Secret - 7 Ancient Paths to Wealth, Wisdom and the Wonder of God. It can revolutionize your life. It did mine!

Also, I’m giving away these CDs to the first 500 people who order the downloadable (MP3) version. Click here to check it out.

Blessings,
