Today Is Our First Performance from Songs of Revival

Appreciate your prayers for my collaborator, Rev. Timothy J. Mercaldo (www.WorshipPlus.org), and myself as we travel to Chester, NY, today to perform excerpts from Songs of Revival (www.SongsOfRevivalLive.com) for a possible future performance booking. May God superintend the travel and protect bodies, voices, etc., especially in the poor air quality (if you hadn’t heard, fires from as far north as Canada are sending smoke to our region). Pray that God alone would be glorified and the enemy utterly defeated and unable to work chaos into the performance.

The Hidden Power of an Introduction

Elevate Your Teammates
I've been a Freedom Finder for Graceworks -- coaching presentations and teaching presentation skills -- since 2001. I recently shared some epiphanies I had about introductions...

Our New Website Is Ready!

After much tinkering, I’m publicly announcing my new website! It’s the same url as before: www.RichDrama.com.

The link will actually work on the site.

The big disappointment is that there are 18 years worth of broken links on the blog. Here’s why: www.RichDrama.com/404.

Tonight I finally updated one of my most popular posts from my old blog: www.RichDrama.com/blog/post/MyPassion. There were 6,528 visits to that page on my old site. Let’s pray multitudes more visit the new version of the page and receive what the Lord has for them in relationship with Himself!

One of my favorite films I've been a part of -- because of the clear presentation of the Gospel -- is 2nd Chances.

 

Should We Hold Big Tech Responsible?

Today Joyce and I were on Headline Prayer Live, covering our stories and others from www.HeadlinePrayer.org. 

Here's Joyce's article:  

Dump Anxiety and Give Him Your ‘Stuff’

Lord, help us dump our anxiety baggage right where it belongs, at Your feet, so that our prayers will be unhindered and effective. Amen. 

While planning for my third trip across the country in as many weeks to help with an aging parent, I contemplated my luggage. Why, I thought, do I travel with so much stuff? Am I afraid I will run out of some essential item: medicine, hair goop, writing paper? Am I traveling to some hinterland in which I will be unable to buy any missing item?

‘Jonathan Park’ Helps Sound the Alarm!

Lord, thank You for audio dramas like "Jonathan Park" that are making our young people aware of Satan’s attacks on our nation and pointing them toward You!

The latest “Jonathan Park" audio drama, “Sound the Alarm,” inspires young people to pray and take action in the face of those who are intentionally trying to destroy America.

For my birthday this year Facebook offered to raise money for a project I care about. Christian Artist Mentoring Project invited me to teach, so I'd love to see them move forward on their fundraising goals. If you sense the Lord prompting you to do so you can give by clicking here.

Time to Reflect

Joyce continues Westchester Chapel's "Times of Cementing" series, with a message on taking time to reflect upon the major lesson learned from our series "What Happens When a Created People Walk Away From Their Creator?" The message to Fear -- Reverence -- God is found in Ecclesiastes 5:1-7. I did a dramatic reading of the Scripture. Joyce opens the service by joining 100 million people praying over Israel on this Pentecost Sunday; Israel celebrates its 75th Diamond Anniversary as a modern nation. Read more about the global prayer initiative at www.Isaiah62Fast.com. Joyce also prays for those who served in the military.

Update on Kirk Cameron’s Story Hours

Victory News used footage I took last December for IFA, and IFA ran that Victory News story:

Lord, continue to empower Kirk Cameron as he tells his story to children and points them to truth. Open more doors, especially where they’ve been shut to him by those who prefer to promote anti-Christ agendas. Woo these confused ones into your kingdom and sanctify them.

Kirk Cameron updated Victory News on his tour of public libraries with his book As You Grow. He was initially turned down by more than 50 libraries which hold Drag Queen Story Hours. Cameron said many of the libraries told him, “Our people don’t align with your values.” The reality is that whenever he is allowed to share the libraries are overwhelmed with thousands, as was the case at his reading in Scarsdale, NY, last December, as we reported.

Have a blessed Pentecost Sunday! Here's how I tell the story in my one-man play, The Acts, at www.RichDrama.com/blog/post/Pentecost.

Go Through the Gates

Since Easter every night I’ve woken in the night and sensed Holy Spirit leading me to a passage of Scripture. I’ve hash-tagged the photos, observations, and prayers that have come from these sweet times of fellowship with the Lord #ScriptureInTheNight on both Facebook and Instagram.

Starting on May 17 I’ve felt led to go through Isaiah 62, with more than a million, who are praying for Jerusalem right now. Last night verse 9 placed us in the courts:

Tonight we go through the gates. If memory serves, there were multiple courts in the temple, and certain people were able to get closer to the Lord than others. This was a man-made system, but the tabernacle design was given by the Lord, and there was only one court, and it was for all. In both systems only the priests could enter the Holy Place to minister to the Lord, and only the high priest could enter the Holy of Holies once a year.

Before we attended the Asbury Outpouring my favorite time of worship was at the tabernacle in the wilderness of Israel pictured above, in 2005. As we got closer and closer to the Holy of Holies worship got more and more intense, and then we pulled back the veil…or at least we tried! It was stapled shut! I guess the designer didn’t know the actual veil was torn from top to bottom like a father ripping his shirt when his son died, opening the way for all who receive what He did for us to enter the Holy of Holies.

At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split.
Matthew 27:51, ESV

As we join our prayers with more than a million (www.Isaiah62Fast.com) for Israel, let’s pray that many enter into the presence of the Father through the Son!
