    Richard L. Toney

    Richard L. Toney is the founder - director of the CN Life Initiative. An African American poet, writer, and inspirational speaker; he presents a growing and emerging voice in Christian writing/ inspirational ministry. Brother Richard as he's called, writes and speaks with a singular passion "Faith is a natural part of man." He teaches, "People need only learn to exercise what's already inside them. Understand faith, believing and speaking, is a part of man's structure. The power behind what you hear, think, pray (believe) on Sundays - you have to accept it to know/ trust it won't fail." Through the CN Life Initiative he publishes and instructs believers to pursue their spiritual passions. Take the evidence of your success (frailties (losses) included) and use it! "Put your knowledge to work - Get your faith in action", Brother Richard speaks. "God's people are looking for something that's right in their face. They have to see God's voice, God's vision in the everyday moments of life's experience." Beyond established beliefs and traditional religious bounds, Brother Richard looks in and searches the Word to center his words. His writings and personal publications, he uses to define the relationship of God with man and man's search for God inside himself. As a speaker and ordained minister, he offers insights and lessons fueled by one thought - Life seems difficult - but only if you fail to remember. The truth IS! Everything else is subject to change. Trust the Word of God

      Bread For Adversity - Richard L. Toney

      A Gathering Ordeal

      Man’s thoughts easily lie, Seeing an image that is either not like Him or not of the same person He sees.

      -E.H. Mayes

      It seems there’s always a storm on the horizon of great being. When there’s a mindset to change things, to break free of past burdens and feelings of insignificance or defeat. Every time you make the decision straightway is a storm to test you, but today you no longer have to fear. This is your moment. This is your opportunity to speak your faith. Share your history with God this is your opportunity to say, Peace! Be Still!

      These ten thoughts offer a simple image. What’s going on around you? What attempts to hinder your faith most? Dare you remember God’s words is your most formidable answer to the complications and pressures that mount? As you meditate these thoughts let the words and verses provide you solace in this thought. John 16:33

      I have overcome the world. God’s word of life in life, by faith – come what may you’re empowered to overcome it all. You will make it to the other side.

      You’re never too far to hear me.

      Day One – Above the Noise

      1st Kings 19:11, 12

      All life speaks, but to hear God means knowing what you’re listening for.

      There is a distinction in God’s voice. It’s relatively easy to detect once you learn to filter the surrounding noise. It presents itself in the many available writings and interpretations created for every level student - believer. His word and all its stirrings are there and available for you to learn to hear Him - properly.

      Audibly at times, though not necessarily so. It’s more of a matter of ensuring clarity and understanding. Providing, with certainty, the best instructions available to handle every given situation. This is the joy of hearing – learning to receive from God’s Word. To comprehend His word, by hearing His voice; Understanding, rather, meaning grasping what the Spirit (God) has to say to you. (Hebrew 3:7)

      Many may ask - how can I know? How do I recognize or distinguish His voice from mine or others? The answer is simple. Begin to filter what you listen to. You might think, I go to church. I follow various preachers. I judge what I think is a right direction. Yet these are only some filters to push you toward the one filter - The pure Word of God. (John 1:1)

      Spiritually, physically, communicatively; all these things are yours for hearing or learning to hear, to receive from, the actual voice of God. (1st Corinthians 13:12)

      They are yours to compliment the truest filter - His word.

      You may know of it as The Bible. Yet in reality it’s the one tool, its one purpose is, to serves as your tuner for hearing, receiving the clearest instruction on every level of life’s journey. It’s the one note that helps you discern the instruction of His Spirit, the letter of His teachings and the interest of His intentions towards you. Some may argue, yet God gave this guide to you and for you. Weigh it against the character of what’s being said, what’s being heard or what you’re listening to. Then see if things don’t begin to clarify themselves as human or God inspired.

      A New Thought:

      I know God speaks to me; I am not swayed by doubts or insecurities. His instruction, His knowledge is my guide. My faith is in His call.

      His promise:

      Matthew 24:35

      (ESV) – Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.

      Relative Thinking

      Psalm 29:3 - 9

      Isaiah 55:11
