RTTBROS

Gene Kissinger

We need to redeem the time as the passage in Ephesians 5 states BECAUSE the days are evil. It is vital as believers that we learn to discern. We need to acquire wisdom so we can walk in truth. Wisdom is word based and God given. We learn it from the word of God and ultimately from the God who gave us the Word. My brother Norman and I are going to be setting up a ministry and under this ministry umbrella we will establish a YouTube channel here

    Dim #RTTBROS #NIGHTLIGHT

    Dim #NightLight RTTBROS THE FLICKERING BEAM we all have an old flashlight in the kitchen drawer that’s seen better days. Most of the time it works fine, but every so often, the batteries start to fade. The beam doesn't just go out; it starts to flicker. It gets dim, then bright, then dim again, leaving you squinting in the dark, shaking the thing and hoping for one more good burst of light to get you to the fuse box. I think a lot of us live our spiritual lives in that flickering mode. We’re not totally "dark," but we’re dim. We’re running on the fumes of a victory from three years ago, or the remnants of a faith we had in college, and we're just shaking the flashlight, hoping we have enough energy to make it through another Tuesday. "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path." Psalm 119:105 Notice the verse doesn't say the Word is a stadium floodlight. A lamp doesn't illuminate the whole forest; it just shows you where to put your foot for the very next step. When you feel your light flickering tonight when you feel depleted and dim stop trying to light up the next ten years. You don't need a map of the whole journey; you just need enough light for the next step. God provides exactly enough for the immediate need. Tonight, stop shaking the flashlight. Just take the one step He’s showing you. The light is enough

    The Way #RTTBROS #NIGHTLIGHT

    The Way #RTTBROS #NIGHTLIGHT "And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left" (Isaiah 30:21). Heaven Will Move Mountains to Show You the Way Principle 10: If necessary, God will move heaven and earth to show us His will. There is a prayer that God never refuses to answer, though He rarely answers it on our schedule. It is the prayer that says, "Lord, show me Your will." A God who went to a cross to redeem you will not leave you guessing about which road to take. Guidance is not a guessing game with heaven. It is a promise from heaven. God said it plainly: "And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left" (Isaiah 30:21). That is not poetry. That is policy. When you turn toward a decision, He speaks direction. Consider Gideon. He asked God to prove His will with a fleece, not once but twice, and God did not rebuke his caution. He moved the dew. Or consider Paul, stopped from preaching in Asia and in Bithynia, then given a vision in the night of a man from Macedonia saying, "Come over into Macedonia, and help us" (Acts 16:9). Doors closed. A vision opened. Heaven rearranged the itinerary. Here is what this means for you tonight. 1. Ask clearly and specifically. Vague prayers get vague direction. Tell God the decision, the deadline, and the options as you see them. Then say, "Make Your will unmistakable." He is not annoyed by the request. He is honored by the trust. 2. Watch the doors, not just your desires. An open door can be God guiding you, or it can be your own wishful pushing. A closed door can be Gods redirection, or your own timidity refusing to knock. The difference is found in prayer and in Scripture. Test both doors by the Word, and wait until one of them is unmistakably marked. 3. Move when He confirms, even if it costs. The guidance of God always lands where obedience is required. Once heaven has spoken, delay becomes disobedience. The disciples followed the Macedonian call and the gospel crossed into Europe. You never know how big the blessing is that is riding on your small yes. ADRIANISM: God would rather move mountains than let you miss His will. #RTTBROS #Nightlight linktr.ee/rttbros #BibleWisdomDaily #ChristianWisdom #PracticalBiblicalWisdom #Prayer #Trust

    The Map's End #RTTBROS #NIGHTLIGHT

    The Map's End #RTTBROS #NIGHTLIGHT Proverbs 3:5–6 reminds us, "Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." When the Map Ends, Faith Begins Principle: Active Trust in God’s Sovereignty Have you ever stood at the edge of a decision, map in hand, only to realize the road ends? Dr. Charles Stanley often reminded us that faith does not begin when everything is clear; it begins precisely where human understanding runs out. We are often conditioned to view trust as a feeling that arrives only after the storm subsides. However, biblical trust is not a reaction to calm weather; it is a posture maintained in the wind. It is the daily, deliberate choice to surrender control of your timeline, your desired outcomes, and your anxieties because you have learned that God’s character is more reliable than your circumstances. When you cease trying to manufacture certainty and begin practicing surrender, a transformation occurs within. You stop pleading for a clearer map and begin walking forward using the light He has already provided. True peace is found not in knowing what tomorrow holds, but in knowing the One who holds tomorrow. As Proverbs 3:5–6 reminds us, "Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." This is not passive resignation, but active reliance: showing up each day with an open heart while entrusting the blueprint to the Master Architect. Three Application Points 1. Identify one area where you are clinging to a personal timeline. Write it down, pray over it, and verbally release it: “Lord, I trust You with what I cannot control.” 2. Keep a “Faith Record” journal for 14 days. Each evening, note one instance where God proved faithful during past uncertainty, letting memory fuel present trust. 3. When anxiety spikes, replace the question “What if it goes wrong?” with the affirmation “God is already there.” Trust does not remove the valley; it assures you that the Shepherd walks with you through it. #RTTBROS #Nightlight linktr.ee/rttbros #BibleWisdomDaily #ChristianWisdom #PracticalBiblicalWisdom #Prayer #Trust

    The Power of Little #RTTBROS #NIGHTLIGHT

    The Power of Little #RTTBROS #NIGHTLIGHT The Power of Little #RTTBROS #NIGHTLIGHT THE POWER OF THE LITTLE THINGS Think about the last time a piece of machinery failed, like a leaky faucet, a car that wouldn't start, or a computer that froze. Most of the time, we look for a "big" problem to solve. We expect a cracked pipe or a blown engine. But more often than not, the culprit is something tiny. A speck of grit in a valve. A frayed wire the size of a hair. One tiny thing stopping the whole system from working. We often do the same with our faith. We wait for the "big" calling. We want the mountain top moment or the grand gesture of faith. But God usually works in the grit. He works in the way you answer the phone when you're tired, the way you handle a rude comment in traffic, and the small, quiet "yes" when no one is watching. "He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much." — Luke 16:10 The big victories are just a collection of small obediences that finally added up. If you're waiting for a grand stage to prove your faithfulness, you're missing the stage God has already given you. Tonight, don't worry about the mountain. Just look at the small thing right in front of you. Be faithful there. The little things are actually the big things. Tonight's Action: 1. Identify one small, tedious task you've been avoiding and do it as an act of worship. 2. Pray for the strength to be patient with one person who tests you tomorrow. 3. Thank God for the "ordinary" moments of your day. #RTTBROS #Nightlight linktr.ee/rttbros #BibleWisdomDaily #ChristianWisdom #PracticalBiblicalWisdom #Prayer #Trust

    The Walk #RTTBROS #NIGHTLIGHT

    The Walk #RTTBROS #NIGHTLIGHT Genesis 5:24 (KJV): And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him. Many of us remember the movie Forrest Gump, where the main character spends years simply running. He didn't run for a trophy or a title; he just ran because he felt called to move. There is something powerful about the act of putting one foot in front of the other, day after day, until the journey itself becomes the destination. In the economy of God, the Christian life is much like that it is a steady, persistent "run" toward the heart of the Father. The story of Enoch's life is a powerful reminder that our walk with God is not just about going through the motions, but about cultivating a deep and intimate relationship with Him. In a world filled with distractions and temptations, it's easy to get sidetracked and lose focus on what's truly important. But Enoch's example shows us that it's possible to stay committed to God even in the midst of a corrupt and sinful society. Think of it as a long-distance run. A marathoner doesn't reach the finish line by a single burst of speed, but through a disciplined pace and a focused gaze. Enoch's walk with God was a deliberate and intentional choice; he didn't just sprint for a moment and quit, but he maintained a steady, holy pace, prioritizing his relationship with God above all else. The writer of Hebrews tells us that Enoch "pleased God" (Hebrews 11:5), and that's a remarkable achievement. It's not just about doing the right things or avoiding the wrong ones; it's about having a heart that's attuned to God's will and desires. When we walk with God, we're not just following a set of rules or principles; we're engaging in a dynamic and personal relationship that transforms us from the inside out. Let me tell you, this kind of intimacy with God is not something that happens overnight. It takes time, effort, and dedication. Enoch walked with God for 300 years, and that's a testament to his commitment and perseverance. We can learn from his example by making a conscious effort to prioritize our relationship with God, to seek Him out in our daily lives, and to trust in His goodness and sovereignty. Apply it today Seek His Presence: Take a few minutes each day to intentionally seek God's presence, whether through prayer, meditation, or simply taking a quiet moment to reflect on His goodness. Shift Your Pace: Identify one area of your life where you've been "crawling" in defeat, and consciously hand the lead back to the Holy Spirit, trusting in His power and guidance to help you overcome. Stay the Course: Make a commitment to prioritize your relationship with God, just as Enoch did, by setting aside time each day to focus on Him and cultivate a deeper sense of intimacy and trust. Prayer: Lord, help me to walk with You in intimacy and trust, just as Enoch did. Give me the strength and perseverance to prioritize our relationship above all else, and to trust in Your goodness and sovereignty in every area of my life. Amen. #RTTBROS #Nightlight linktr.ee/rttbros #BibleWisdomDaily #ChristianWisdom #PracticalBiblicalWisdom #Prayer #Trust

    Drowning #RTTBROS #NIGHTLIGHT

    Drowning #RTTBROS #NIGHTLIGHT Drowning in the Deep Psalm 69:16 (KJV): Hear me, O LORD; for thy lovingkindness is good: turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies. The psalmist's cry for help is a familiar one. He's sinking in the mire, surrounded by enemies, and feels like he's drowning in deep waters (Psalm 69:13-16). It's a picture of being overwhelmed, of feeling like the troubles are too much to handle. But the psalmist doesn't give up. He cries out to God, reminding Him of His lovingkindness and tender mercies. Reference: "O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy salvation. Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters." Psalm 69:13-14 We've all been there at some point. We've all felt like we're in over our heads, struggling to stay afloat. But the good news is that God's mercy is greater than our troubles. It's a mercy that can lift us out of the deep, that can provide a firm standing ground even when all around us seems to be shifting sands. Let me tell you, my friend, it's not about the depth of our troubles; it's about the depth of God's love and mercy. When we're in the midst of turmoil, we need to be honest about our pain, but we also need to remember the depth of God's love. It's a love that can calm the storms within us, that can bring us to a place of peace even in the midst of turmoil. Here's what I've learned: when we're feeling overwhelmed, we need to cry out to God like the psalmist did. We need to remind ourselves of His lovingkindness and tender mercies. How are you really doing today? Are you struggling to stay afloat in a sea of troubles? Take a moment to reflect on your situation. Are there steps you can take to seek God's help? Apply it today 1. Be honest about your pain and struggles. Acknowledge the depth of your hurt, but also remember the depth of God's love and mercy. 2. Cry out to God like the psalmist did. Remind yourself of His lovingkindness and tender mercies. 3. Take practical steps to seek God's help. This might mean spending time in prayer, reading Scripture, or seeking support from fellow believers. Prayer: Dear Lord, hear our cry as we sink in the deep mire of our troubles. In the multitude of your mercy, rescue us from the overwhelming floods. Provide a firm standing ground, and let your lovingkindness be our comfort in the darkness. Amen. #RTTBROS #Nightlight linktr.ee/rttbros #BibleWisdomDaily #ChristianWisdom #PracticalBiblicalWisdom #Prayer #trusttheprocess

    Anchored #RTTBROS #NIGHTLIGHT

    Anchored #RTTBROS #NIGHTLIGHT Anchored in the Unshakable Throne "Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:" (Isaiah 46:10, KJV) Principle: God is always in control. Charles Stanley often reminded believers that while our circumstances may shift like desert winds, God’s throne never wavers. Anxiety thrives when we believe we must hold life together; faith flourishes when we remember who truly does. The Creator of the cosmos does not govern by reaction but by revelation. You don’t need to see the full blueprint to trust the Architect. When fear whispers that you’ve lost your grip, declare over your heart: He has not stepped down from His throne, nor will He. Illustration:Picture a cargo ship caught in a sudden North Atlantic squall. The deck pitches violently, spray blinds the windows, and every instinct screams to wrestle the wheel and outfight the storm. But the seasoned captain knows what the panicked crew cannot see: the ship isn’t being held by the helm, it’s held fast by an anchor dropped miles below the surface into bedrock. When the vessel swings wildly in the gale, it isn’t resisting the current; it’s yielding to what cannot be moved. That is exactly where God invites us to stand. We exhaust ourselves bracing for impact, tightening our fists around outcomes, and trying to calm the very waters He commanded to rise and fall. But divine control was never meant to be managed by human effort, it is received by surrendered hearts. “Faith does not ask God to remove the storm; it asks God to reveal His presence within it. When your hands are busy holding on, you cannot open them to receive what He has already promised.” In the consistent pastoral teaching of Charles Stanley “You don’t have to steady the storm—only anchor yourself in the One who does.” "Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:" (Isaiah 46:10, KJV) Application Points: Surrender a specific worry by name. Write it down, pray over it deliberately, and physically place your Bible on top of it as a symbol of God’s authority over your situation. Replace speculation with worship. When you catch yourself imagining worst-case scenarios, pause and verbally thank God for three past instances where He proved His control. Make your next decision based on biblical truth, not temporary fear. Ask: What would I do if I truly believed God was steering this? Then step out in that direction with quiet confidence. #RTTBROS #Nightlight linktr.ee/rttbros #BibleWisdomDaily #ChristianWisdom #PracticalBiblicalWisdom #Prayer #Trust

    The Echo #RTTBROS #NIGHTLIGHT

    The Echo #RTTBROS #NIGHTLIGHT Ephesians 4:32 "And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you." The Echo of Grace There is a phenomenon in nature called an echo, where a sound bounces off a hard surface and returns to the sender. If you shout anger into a canyon, anger is what comes back to you. If you shout love, love returns. In our relationships, we often find ourselves in a cycle of bitterness because we are only echoing what we have received from others. We wait for the other person to be kind first, or we give back exactly what was given to us. But the Gospel introduces a different kind of sound. It is the sound of grace, which doesn't echo the offense, but breaks the cycle. Ephesians 4:32 instructs us, And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. Tonight, decide to stop the echo of conflict. Be the one who speaks grace first. #RTTBROS #Nightlight linktr.ee/rttbros https://linktr.ee/rttbros #BibleWisdomDaily #ChristianWisdom #PracticalBiblicalWisdom #Prayer #Trust #RTTBROS #Nightlight

    Letting Go!

    Letting GO #RTTBROS #NIGHTLIGHT The Art of Letting Go Ever notice how we hold onto a grudge like it is a prized possession? We carry it around, polishing it every time we remember the hurt, thinking that our anger is somehow protecting us. But the truth is, holding onto bitterness is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to suffer. It doesn't keep us safe; it just keeps us stuck. When we refuse to forgive, we aren't punishing the other person; we are just building a prison for ourselves. Dr. Stanley often reminded us that obedience to God starts with a surrendered heart. The Bible tells us in Ephesians 4:32, Be kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. Forgiveness isn't a feeling we wait for; it is a decision we make because we have been forgiven much. When we release the debt, we finally find the freedom to move forward. Tonight, ask yourself what you are still gripping too tightly. Let it go and let God handle the justice. #RTTBROS #Nightlight linktr.ee/rttbros Application: Identify one person you are holding a grudge against and consciously release them to God. Pray for the person who hurt you, asking God to bless them. Thank God for His forgiveness of your own sins to fuel your ability to forgive others. https://linktr.ee/rttbros #BibleWisdomDaily #ChristianWisdom #PracticalBiblicalWisdom #Prayer #Trust #RTTBROS #Nightlight

    Quiet Strength #RTTBROS #NIGHTLIGHT

    Quiet Strength #RTTBROS #NIGHTLIGHT The Quiet Strength There is a certain kind of strength that does not make a sound. Think about the roots of a great oak tree. You cannot see them, and they do not make a noise, but they are the only reason the tree stays standing when the storm hits. Most of us spend our lives trying to build the branches; we want the visible success and the public applause. But the secret to a life that does not collapse is the hidden work. It is the prayer time when no one is watching; it is the integrity you keep when you could easily cut a corner. Psalm 46, verse 10 says, Be still, and know that I am God. That stillness is not passivity; it is a powerful positioning of the heart. It is the act of rooting yourself in the truth of who He is so that when the wind howls, you do not have to panic. You can stand fast because your strength is not in your own grip, but in His. Application Points: Set aside ten minutes of absolute silence today to simply acknowledge God's presence without asking for anything. Evaluate your "hidden life" and identify one spiritual discipline you can strengthen this week. Choose to handle a stressful situation today with a quiet spirit rather than an emotional reaction. #RTTBROS #Nightlight linktr.ee/rttbros

    CATCHING THE JOY #RTTBROS

    CATCHING THE JOY #RTTBROS #Nightlight "13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart." Jeremiah 29:13 There’s a story about Benjamin Franklin after he gave a stirring speech on the guarantees of the Constitution. As he finished, a heckler shouted from the crowd, "Aw, them words don't mean nothin' at all. Where's all the happiness you say it guarantees us?" Franklin didn't get defensive. He just smiled and replied, "My friend, the Constitution only guarantees the American people the right to pursue happiness; you have to catch it yourself." I think a lot of us treat our faith like that heckler. We read the promises of the Bible—promises of peace, joy, and restoration—and we look at our messy lives and ask, "Where is it? Why hasn't it just landed in my lap yet?" We mistake a promise for a passive experience. "13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart." Jeremiah 29:13 God doesn't run a vending machine where we insert a prayer and a finished product drops out. The Kingdom of God is an invitation to a pursuit. The joy of the Lord is a gift, but it’s a gift we have to actively chase. We don't "catch" it by chasing the world's version of happiness, money, status, or comfort, but by pursuing the Person who is the source of it. The promise is guaranteed, but the pursuit is required. Tonight, stop waiting for the joy to find you. Start chasing the One who holds it. Catch the Joy: 3 Action Points Audit the Chase: Ask yourself, "What have I been chasing this week to make me happy?" If it's a circumstance or a person, pivot. Spend 10 minutes tonight pursuing God's presence instead of a solution. Active Gratitude: Joy is often found in noticing what we already have. Write down three specific ways God showed up for you today. You can't catch joy if you're blind to the grace already in the room. Outward Motion: We often catch the most joy when we stop looking for it for ourselves and start delivering it to someone else. Send one encouraging text to someone who is struggling. Stop waiting for the feeling; start seeking the Father. Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out. https://linktr.ee/rttbros
