My Early Years

To better acquaint you with me I thought it would be fitting for me to tell you more about myself and where I came from. A detailed story of my early years is posted on another blog. It all took place during the "Jesus Movement" in the early 1970's. There are hundreds if not thousands who found their faith during that spiritual movement and still to this day confess that Jesus is their lord.

Here is the link to that page:

The above photo was printed in the local newspaper back in 1972 in Anderson, Indiana. You will see me in the back, the tall guy facing the camera with a mustache, long hair, and my eyes closed as we prayed by laying our hands upon a brother who needed healing. Mark 16:18b & Act 28:8b.

There are more photos of me and the people God had put me with in my early years. Many of them are still in a ministry around the world.

You will notice that my real name is Steve Heifner. I changed my name to Steve Hart which is a family name on my mother's side of the family. Why? Because most people can not pronounce my real last name properly, so I changed it to make it easier.

Upon This Rock!

“Upon this rock I will build my church.” What was Jesus talking about when he said this in Matt.16-19?

This is the foundation of God's church. What is it?

It started when Jesus asked his disciples, “Who do men say that I am?” They said, “Some say that you are John the Baptist, some Elias, others Jeremiahs or one of the prophets.” And then Jesus said, “But who do you say that I am?”

And Peter answered and said, “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

This is the foundation of “The Church!” There is but one invisible universal church which includes every Christian who makes this same confession no matter where they live, they are a part of the His church.

This is the foundation of the Success Church, anyone who calls upon the name of our lord Jesus Christ and seeks His kingdom.

Christianity is not a religion but a relationship with God. Religion is man’s study of God where Christianity is a relationship with God. Those who call upon the name of Jesus, God sends the Holy Spirit. A transformation takes place as he loves you, comforts you, and teaches all things.

Without this relationship with Jesus then Christianity becomes nothing more than a dead religion.

The Success Church celebrates life as you live it abundantly that God may be glorified.

"Think and Grow Rich," by Napoleon Hill

I know back in 1937 when Napoleon Hill wrote this book he was criticized by Christians for implying everyone could become financially rich. I can not say it is God’s will that everyone be monetarily rich. But it is His desire that we are all to be richly blessed and live an abundant life.

The words prosperity and abundance does not always mean financially. Hill's book was written to teach us the secrets behind creating wealth in all areas of our life including our bank accounts. But Hill's teachings applied to all areas of lives including health, relationships, family, careers, education, wisdom and spirituality.

I believe the teachings of this book are supported by scripture including the many universal principles which are introduced within this book, one being the Law of Attraction.

But it does not stop there. You need the Holy Spirit to give you guidance and direction.
The Holy Spirit will teach you how to use these universal laws to manifest God’s pupose into your life. The use of these laws without the Holy Spirit can be like a kid in a candy store. You may get what you want but end up getting sick at the same time.

By carefully listening to the Holy Spirit He will keep you safe. He loves you and knows your every need. He will teach you wisdom and insight to the things of God.

I am speaking from experience. I have learned to be content with very little so that I might be blessed with abundance. 1Phil. 4:11-13.

Right now I step out in faith with very little except for the message that God has given me, wisdom, understanding, and the Holy Spirit’s love and guidance.

I ask for your prayers and support.

The Success Church???

“The Success Church does not sound very Christian like to me.”

You don’t believe that God wants you to be successful? “Well?”

Through out history most Christians have not been taught that it is God’s desire that we live life abundantly. Christians have been taught we can only ask for abundance in spiritual blessings and not in the physical.

The truth is all things come through the Spirit. He wants you to have abundance in knowledge, your career, your relationships, your health, your home, as well as your finances.

In the book of Joshua the Lord instructs him to be strong and courageous so he may prosper. In verse 1: 8 it reads, “for then thou shall make thy way prosperous and then thou shall have good success.”

It is so sad that the church and much of society has tarnished the idea of success as something sinful. Success is not man’s idea but it is God’s plan. Success is part of the kingdom living here on earth.

The secret is, “Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you,” Matt.7:33.

I look forward to sharing with you more about this soon.

Seek God and ask Him to give you good success.

The Gift Of The Holy Spirit

Do you still experience moments of being lost without direction? Do you seek change but you feel powerless? When you read the scripture do you still struggle for understanding? Does God appear to be a far off hiding in the heavens? Do you not hear God speaking to you?

If you are seeking direction, a power that will bring change, a deeper understanding, spiritual revelation, a direct connection to God so you can speak with Him and hear His voice, then the Holy Spirit is your answer.

The Holy Spirit is God. He is your direct connection to God. When Jesus ascended into the heavens he said he would send the Holy Spirit so He could live and express Himself from within us. This happened on the day of Pentecost as told in the second chapter of Acts. Jesus said the Holy Spirit would come as a baptism, Acts.1:5.

When you make a confession and acknowledge Jesus is God He will send the Holy Spirit to you. He is spirit so He is able to live within you. The Holy Spirit will immediately begin a cleansing within your soul. He will give you love, joy, peace, forgiveness, patience, self control and the power over anything that would separate you from God.

At the same time He will reveal to you God’s kingdom including your mission here on earth. It is His desire that you understand the deep things of God, 1 Cor. 2:10. He will transform your mind and teach you how to pray. Rom. 8: 26-27. He will teach you how to live a successful and an abundant life that you may glorify God. He will never leave you.

If the Holy Spirit is not yet present within your life and you desire Him, all you need to do is ask. Pray and ask Jesus to send the Holy Spirit into your life. Then in faith accept His baptism. Give thanks and worship Him and watch what happens.

I would be happy to pray with you and discuss any questions you may have.
