Dr. Jim Richards

In 30 years of pastoring and 49 years of ministry, I cannot recall how many people have expressed the frustration of feeling they had no idea what God wanted them to do. Many who had a sense of destiny felt desperation because they knew what to do but didn’t feel capable of doing it. Religion has made us believe discovering God’s will for our life results from vague spiritual quests. They think it will take a lifetime to grow into their calling. The truth is, God has called us to do exactly what Jesus did; furthermore, He has mapped out a journey that we all make to grow, develop, and become equipped for every part of our destiny as well as every battle we’ll ever face. Those who do not know and pursue God’s general calling for every believer will never fully grasp and feel equipped for their specific destiny. Join me this week and discover the simple, yet powerful journey that equips every believer for a life of purpose and destiny.

God has called every believer to make the same journey: come out of the world’s system and discover Heaven on Earth! The Israelites modeled this journey when they left Egypt and went forth to Canaan. Egypt represents the world; Canaan represents the Kingdom of Heaven! The Israelites had never been to Canaan; they didn’t know where it was; they didn’t know how to get there, and they had no map! Likewise, we too are called to live in the Kingdom of Heaven. We don’t know where it is or how to get there. It is a journey of the heart! This week you can begin to discover how to connect with God in your heart, hear the voice of God in your heart, and experience the power of God flowing from your heart! Join me for CyberChurch and discover the heart journey to Heaven on Earth!

The Kingdom of God is a mystery. It is not, however, hidden by God. Our own beliefs and opinions hide it. According to John 3:3, when we are born again, we gain the ability to see or perceive the kingdom. According to Jesus, the Kingdom can not be perceived, understood, or entered by anything external. It is an inward phenomenon, i.e., via the heart! When our self-worth is not rooted in our heart beliefs about Christ and His resurrection, they are rooted in our ego. Join me this week for Impact CyberChurch, and I’ll show you how to find and access the door of your heart so you can begin to live and function in the resurrection power of Jesus!

In Matthew 7:13-14, Jesus said, "Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. 14 Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.” He wasn’t teaching about how to enter salvation, He was teaching about entering the realm of the Kingdom wherein we experience all the promises, provision, and protection of King Jesus. Knowing about the Kingdom is not the same as entering the Kingdom. Join me this week and discover the New Covenant process for entering the Kingdom!

The Bible says Jesus preached the parables of the Kingdom, then He ministered healing and deliverance to those in need! Many people have asked, “why don’t we get the same result as Jesus from our preaching and believing?” There are many possibilities that can be considered when answering such questions. Based on the law of the seed, the one determining factor of the fruit we produce is the seed we sow and the ground wherein it is sown! In my 49 years, I’ve heard few sermons that were based on the Kingdom of God. It has become prevalent that believers know almost nothing about the Kingdom, or how it can work here on earth as it does in Heaven. The great irony is this: Jesus our Lord told us specifically, “Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness…” So join me this week for CyberChurch, and we will discuss seeking the Kingdom of God in the priority Jesus emphasized. You may discover an incredible shift in the quality of your life and the power of God’s Word when we seek the Kingdom first!

The Kingdom of God is a realm to which all believers are called. The journey into this realm is the process by which God equips us for everything we will face in our walk with God. The person who makes this journey will be equipped to win every battle! Once we enter the Kingdom Realm, we experience God’s provision and protection. From this abundant life, we live free from the cares of the world! Every need is met, and every desire is fulfilled: the perfect will of God! From this quality of life, we have the influence to share Jesus with all who are attracted by our quality of life! This is the will of God for every believer. Join me this week and discover the secret to establish your life in the will of God. Influence the world around you by living an incredible life: the perfect will of God!

I have great news for you and a little bad news. The great news is that the Bible says, “Seek and you shall find.” The bad news is - what if we’re seeking the wrong things? What if we’re seeking things that bring chaos and destruction into our lives, hurt our marriage, and corrupt our children? Nobody would admit to it, however, we do often seek incredibly destructive things thinking if we can get them, all of our problems will be solved. Jesus doesn’t want us to be confused. He wants you to understand His priorities. But where do we start and what should we seek to make sure we don’t go off track and mess up our lives? Watch this week’s CyberChurch broadcast, “Making the Journey, and learn how to get your priorities right so you’re not seeking the things that will destroy you and your family. You will find out how easy and light life can be. What a great life you can have if you actually harmonize your priorities with God’s!

One of the most powerful tools we can employ to dramatically change our lives is meditation. The Bible mentions meditation dozens of times; Jesus explains that unless we meditate on the Word of God we hear, it brings us no benefit. Yet, the majority of believers have no idea what He is talking about. Many believers insist they don’t meditate, but the truth is every person meditates. Sadly, we tend to meditate on those things that hurt our self-worth, destroy our faith, and make our lives worse. The most common form of meditation is memories, and sadly we usually recall memories that are filled with sorrow and pain. When we relive painful past experiences, it alters our view of the future, diminishes our hope, and robs us of our dreams. Join me this week, and I’ll show you how to rise above painful memories and create a new picture of your future through meditating on the promises of God.

It’s incredible the number of people who have come to me as a pastor or counselor and said, “I just want to start over. I’ve made such a mess of it. I’m sick of it. I’ve made so many mistakes and so many things are going wrong. I don’t know how I’ll ever have a life or future.” Sadly, most people believe their past is who they are, and they’re tormented and driven by it. It’s become their identity. But I have great news! God wants to give you a brand new life. He’s already made a way for you to be delivered and to step into the brand new life He’s provided for you. Jesus overcame all you’ve ever been outside of Him so you could walk away from that old life. It doesn’t matter if it happened before you got saved or things you’ve done outside of Jesus as a believer. If you’d like to leave your past behind and finally have a shot at building a life based on the beliefs and choices you make now instead of fighting stuff from the past, watch this week’s CyberChurch broadcast, “Creating a New Past.” Start down a p

Our identity is, in large part, based on our memories. We tend to believe we are the sum-total of our life’s experiences. But God has never wanted you to be a slave to your past. We think we are what we have experienced. In this week’s CyberChurch message, I talk to you about choosing and changing your memories. God tells you what is important to remember and how it will benefit your life. Join me this week for: Change Your Memories, Change Your Identity!

Religion has duped us into believing only those with a prophetic gift can help us foresee and prepare for what is coming in the future. The truth is, God has provided a way we can always know what He will do in any (especially in significant world-changing) events. I want you to discover how you can see, know, and prepare! In this week's Impact CyberChurch program, I share The Power of Remembering! God has already provided everything we need to know for an incredible, victorious life. By understanding what He has already revealed, we can understand what He will do in future events. This will be the beginning of a supernatural journey into seeing the world and yourself in a completely new manner. From this new awareness, you will have confidence in so many situations that would leave others wavering in fear! The more clearly you remember the past, the more clearly you will understand the future!

It’s amazing how many believers are intimidated by what we think is science. It’s also amazing how many references are made to something being scientific or coming from scientific research when, in fact, it’s nothing but someone’s opinion and has never been proven. I remember the first attempt by a preacher to convince me that the idea of extraterrestrials was presented in the Bible. I looked up the Scripture reference given and, of course, couldn’t see any proof to support his claim. The only “extraterrestrials,” if you will, that the Bible ever mentions are angels. The Bible does not indicate any other beings alive anywhere in the universe. However, in an effort to disprove God, some people want you to believe that aliens of super-intelligence created the human race. In this week’s CyberChurch message, I share things you’ll probably rarely ever hear. You’ll learn the difference between real science and false science that constantly seeks to undermine your faith in God. You’ll discover the goal they hope t

"The Bible tells us that there is a way we can have patience when we face trials and tribulations, particularly the type of tribulations that will be coming in the not-too-distant future. “If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear. He who leads into captivity shall go into captivity. He who kills with the sword must be killed with the sword, and here is the patience of the saints” (Revelation 13:10). In a nutshell, this is saying that if we understand the persecution's outcome, we will have patience as we go through it. This week in CyberChurch we are looking at several key events in the Bible in which it seemed impossible for God’s people to have a positive outcome. But there was a good outcome in each of those situations. When we understand those events and what the Bible teaches about them, then, we can be confident in the outcome when people begin to persecute, attack, and kill. If you want to feel stable, confident, bold, and be filled with faith, no matter what happens on Planet Earth, watch “The Patie

Every professional knows the 80/20 rule: twenty percent of your effort produces eighty percent of your results. Sadly, in business, relationships, and our walk with God, we put eighty percent of our effort in the wrong place. Consequently, we work very diligently at eighty percent of our effort to get only twenty percent of the desired outcome. There are few things as discouraging as working really hard and getting very little benefit! Much of what we have been taught to do as believers produces no meaningful benefit; it only produces mountains of frustration and eventually undermines our faith. The Apostle Paul calls that “beating the air.” This week I will show how to avoid religious nonsense that undermines your faith and produces no meaningful benefits. Join me this week for “The Imaginary Battle, Part 2.”

Every reason we could ever come up with to be afraid of the devil is a religious lie that is holding us captive and keeping us from being who we really are in Jesus. To understand what’s happening in the world right now, it is crucial that we understand what happened with Lucifer in ancient history. If we don’t understand the battles and struggles that have taken place in the past, we will not understand what is happening right in front of us. Even worse, we won’t be able to see what’s coming and prepare ourselves as events unfold. To live as overcomers, it’s absolutely essential that we put an end to all fear of the devil. The devil is a liar and has no power over us. When we’re overwhelmed and afraid of being put into a situation we just can’t win, we have to realize that Satan's every attempt to overthrow God and the human race has failed miserably. If you feel you’re fighting an overwhelming battle and need some encouragement, watch this week’s CyberChurch broadcast. “The Imaginary Battle” will boost your

For decades we have been deceived. It starts with the methods for dating fossils and the universe. The Old Universe theory stands in stark opposition to the biblical record. In fact, the only reason these incredibly unreliable methods are used is that they oppose the Bible. Even though we have biblical accounts and written records from ancient civilizations globally, we are still told we don’t know who built the pyramids and other ancient megalithic structures. The problem is not that they don’t know; the problem is that the facts support the Word of God. This week in CyberChurch, I share one of the most interesting and significant ancient mysteries. The Bible reveals that portals were used to allow “Watchers” to cross over from eternity to Plant Earth. Watchers were a specific type of “angelic-beings” that could not be distinguished from humans, whom God used to serve the heirs of salvation. When they rebelled, they used these portals to cross over and bring evil and destruction to the world. Join me this we

The Bible says that we as believers should understand the strategies of the wicked one. Unfortunately, many of us don’t. We think Satan is more powerful than he is. But he really has no authority. The only way he can implement his desires is by tricking human beings into believing his ways are better than God’s ways and exercising their authority on Planet Earth. In this week’s CyberChurch message, “The War on Earth”, you’ll discover how Satan gained authority and how he uses it to deceive people and rob them of every good thing that Jesus died to give them. The mysteries of knowing God, His power, and how to live victoriously will be unlocked and your eyes will be opened. You’ll be equipped in ways you wouldn’t believe as you discover more about the ancient mysteries of Planet Earth and how knowing and understanding those mysteries will benefit you. When we have an understanding of these things, it validates so much of what the Bible teaches. And when we believe the Bible, we can’t be controlled by outside f

The Bible teaches us that we can’t fully understand a truth until we know how it began. When we know how something began, we can understand exactly what is happening and why. Then, we can have confidence in how it will end. Sadly, many Christians are like the person who walks into a mystery movie when it’s halfway over. They missed the beginning; therefore, they don’t understand the plot, the players, or anything that’s happening. They’re lost and confused. That’s how many of us are. We open the Bible to the New Testament and believe it doesn’t matter what came before. But it does matter! If you want to understand the spiritual origins of all things affecting Planet Earth today, I encourage you to watch this week’s CyberChurch message. My new series, Ancient Mysteries, is incredibly encouraging and will open your eyes to many things the Bible has told us, but the world has kept hidden. You will love where this takes you! It will open your understanding of God and free you from all the confusion created by rel

Who built the pyramids and other megalithic structures around the world? What was their purpose? How were the ancients able to calculate the position of individual stars and constellations without computers or telescopes? How did they know scientific facts thousands of years before modern science? How were pyramids, temples, and other megalithic structures erected more precisely than anything we can build today? Until you can answer these questions, you will easily be seduced with counterfeit explanations. The most important question is this, “Why do governments, scientists, and educational institutions put so much effort into hiding the truth?” These historical facts that can be easily proven, destroy false science. How? They prove the validity and accuracy of the Bible, possibly more than anything other than the resurrection of Jesus. This is what governments, occultists, and elitists don’t want you to know! When you have these answers, they can no longer seduce you! In this series, I’ll provide Biblical an

I want to help you understand and exercise your greatest freedom! The greatest freedom we should protect at all costs is our freedom to choose. The very first thing God says about man is that we are created in His likeness and image. He is saying, “You’re like me.” Since we are created in God's likeness and image, and He gave us dominion over Planet Earth, Planet Earth and our lives become what we choose. We are always making choices, good or bad, and our lives directly reflect those choices. God has shown us how we can enter into life if we follow His wisdom or enter into death if we don’t. Deuteronomy 30:19 tells us to “choose life.” When we are fully committed to the Lord and following Him, we will start enjoying life to the fullest. I want to help you understand your freedom to choose. In this week’s CyberChurch message, I provide insights that will help you understand this freedom, how to use it to change your life, and how that changes everything in your world. When we make a choice, we are demonstrati
