Episode 93 – Why So Many Christians Lack Power, Faith, and Victory!

By Ryan Hicks | September 29, 2026

Are you a professing Christian who feels stuck, lacking spiritual power, struggling with limited faith, and constantly battling sin? This profound podcast episode of the Christian Law Of Attraction And Success Podcast uncovers a sobering truth directly from the Bible that may explain your experience. Many individuals believe they are saved, yet Jesus Himself warned in Matthew 7:21-23 that numerous people who claim His name He “never knew.” This isn’t a condemnation but an urgent call to self-examination and a deeper understanding of genuine salvation.

In this episode, I reveal the concept illustrated in Mark 12:34, where Jesus told a man, “Thou art not far from the kingdom of God.” I explore how countless sincere seekers and churchgoers mistakenly equate the Holy Spirit’s powerful drawing grace with the actual, transformative experience of the new birth. It’s a critical distinction: an experience with grace is not the same as the full experience of being born again. This fundamental misunderstanding leads to a spiritual life characterized by powerlessness, limited spiritual breakthroughs, and an ongoing struggle with sin, despite a fervent desire for victory and success.

This powerful discussion reveals that the root cause of this struggle lies in never having truly entered into the radical new birth experience. It is more than just praying a prayer; it is a spiritual regeneration that makes you a new creature in Christ, as articulated in 2 Corinthians 5:17. Without this foundational transformation, believers often find themselves unable to fully access the power and promises of God. This episode emphasizes the crucial Scriptural principle of crucifying the flesh with its affections and lusts (Galatians 5:24), a vital step for genuine spiritual liberation and the manifestation of true Christian prosperity.

Furthermore, I expose the “mirage” of a “Christian” experience that is built on mere outward conformity. Many are inadvertently conforming to the behaviors, doctrines, and social norms of other professing Christians around them, rather than undergoing the authentic, internal conformation to Christ’s image. This pseudo-transformation can offer a false sense of security while leaving individuals devoid of the true power, peace, and spiritual authority that comes only from being genuinely born again.

Join me as I challenge you to honestly assess your spiritual foundation. Discover the difference between being “not far” and being fully “in” the kingdom of God (and having the kingdom of God be in you). Learn how to move beyond superficial Christianity to embrace the radical, life-altering reality of the new birth that empowers you with abundant faith, spiritual authority, and lasting victory over the flesh and all the works of the devil. This episode is essential for anyone seeking a deeper, more authentic, and truly powerful relationship with God, and for those ready to walk in the full measure of Christian success and spiritual freedom that TaughtToProfit champions.

Episode 92 – Prosperity Questions And Answers #1 – Are You Saying Poverty Is A Sin?

By Ryan Hicks | September 22, 2026

Someone tried the Socratic method to try to “get me” and asked, “Let me put it as a fork. When a faithful believer stays poor, is it their lack of faith, or is it God’s ‘no’? If it’s their faith, you’ve made poverty a sin. If it’s God’s ‘no,’ you’ve admitted your whole message is false. Which is it?”

In this episode I begin a new series of answering prosperity questions. The answer I have to this question and the discussion about poverty being a sin is something that people need to hear. Too many have given the devil a place in their lives by the traditions of men that make the word of God of none effect in their lives. This episode destroys those shackles and frees the listener to walk in the prosperity that Jesus came for them to experience!

Episode 91 – Exposing the Lie: Healing in Jesus’ Stripes is For YOUR Body, Not Just Your Soul!

By Ryan Hicks | September 15, 2026

Are you tired of hearing that the powerful promise of healing found in Isaiah 53:5 and 1 Peter 2:24 only applies to spiritual salvation and has nothing to do with your physical body? At TaughtToProfit, I am committed to unveiling the full truth of God’s Word, and today, I am taking a bold stand against a pervasive lie that robs countless believers of their divine right to supernatural healing. It’s time to reclaim the comprehensive provision that Jesus secured for us on the cross.

In this compelling episode of the Christian Law Of Attraction And Success Podcast, I am diving deep into the Scriptures to expose the flawed reasoning behind the claim that “by His stripes you were healed” is exclusively about a “sin-sick soul.” I will meticulously examine Isaiah 53:5, which declares, “But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed,” and 1 Peter 2:24, stating, “Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.” I will show you why limiting these verses to spiritual healing alone is a gross oversight of Biblical truth and a dangerous diminishment of the atonement’s power. This narrow view misrepresents God’s covenant promises and prevents many from experiencing the fullness of His grace.

My primary argument will pivot to the unequivocal evidence presented in Matthew 8:16-17. Here, after Jesus demonstrated His power by casting out devils and healing all who were sick, the Bible explicitly states, “That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.” This powerful passage unequivocally links Jesus’ suffering and His fulfillment of Isaiah’s prophecy directly to physical healing and the bearing of our sicknesses and infirmities. It undeniably proves that the scope of healing in Jesus’ stripes extends to our physical bodies! Matthew’s inspired account removes all doubt, illustrating how Jesus’ work on the cross directly addressed our physical ailments, not just our spiritual condition. The prophecy was fulfilled in both realms.

But the analysis doesn’t stop there. I am also exposing a staggering contradiction within the very argument of those who deny physical healing. These same individuals often assert that in this life, believers cannot truly be free from sin. They preach a doctrine that “we all sin daily in thought, word, or deed.” I am asking you, if they claim Jesus’ stripes only apply to freedom from sin, yet simultaneously deny that we can actually be free from sin in this life, then what healing are they even offering? Their own interpretation leads to a position where they are denying both physical and spiritual freedom in the present! This illogical stance undermines the very power of the cross they claim to uphold, leaving believers without either physical health or spiritual health (genuine freedom from daily sin). They contradict themselves and short-change the entire body of Christ.

Join me as I reclaim the truth of God’s Word, empowering you to stand firm on His promises for holistic healing—spirit, soul, and body. Don’t let misguided theology diminish the radical, comprehensive work of Christ on the cross. Your healing is part of your inheritance and a manifestation of God’s loving-kindness! It’s time to walk in the fullness of what Jesus paid for.

Episode 90 – The “Haves” and “Have Nots” Are Really the “Dids” and “Did Nots:” A Biblical Understanding of Abundance!

By Ryan Hicks | September 8, 2026

Unlock the profound Biblical truth behind prosperity and scarcity with the latest episode of The Christian Law Of Attraction And Success Podcast: “The ‘Haves’ and ‘Have Nots’ Are Really the ‘Dids’ and ‘Did Nots:’ A Biblical Understanding of Abundance.” In this enlightening discussion, I reveal the universal laws of abundance as taught by Jesus Christ Himself, challenging conventional views on wealth and poverty. Discover why the age-old adage “the rich get richer” isn’t merely a secular observation but a reflection of divine principles that govern our world, applicable to every aspect of life from spiritual growth to financial freedom.

This powerful episode meticulously unpacks key Scriptures from the Bible, specifically Matthew 13:12 and Matthew 25:29, where Jesus emphatically states: “For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.” I explore what it truly means to “hath” in a Biblical context, moving beyond mere possession to embrace active engagement, diligent stewardship, and consistent application of the gifts, knowledge, and opportunities God has provided. This isn’t about passive waiting; it’s about “doing”.

Learn how inaction, fear, and burying your “talents” (whether they be your skills, ideas, resources, or even your faith) can inadvertently place you in the category of the “Did Nots,” leading to stagnation and loss. Conversely, understand how becoming a “Did” through intentional action, faithful stewardship, and proactive utilization of what you have can activate the “law of more abundance,” propelling you into a life of exponential growth and overflow. I illustrate how this principle is not a judgment but a mechanism of the spiritual universe, designed to reward purposeful effort and faith-filled endeavors.

Key takeaways from this episode include:
* A Biblical reframing of “haves” and “have nots” as “dids” and “did nots.”
* In-depth analysis of Jesus’ teachings in Matthew 13 and 25 regarding abundance.
* Practical definitions of “hath” as active stewardship and application.
* Understanding the universal spiritual law behind increasing abundance.
* Actionable steps to transition from inaction to proactive growth.
* The role of faith and purposeful action in unlocking divine provision.

Join me as I ignite your spirit with the truth that your future of abundance is not predestined by circumstance but shaped by your actions. Discover how to confidently apply these timeless Biblical principles to manifest greater spiritual, relational, and financial prosperity. Don’t just listen; do.

Episode 89 – Mastering the Game of Life: Unlocking God’s Rules for Success!

By Ryan Hicks | September 1, 2026

Have you ever felt like you’re playing the “game of life” without knowing the rules? Many people experience constant frustration, repeating the same patterns and getting undesirable results, simply because they haven’t deciphered the fundamental principles that govern their existence. Here at TaughtToProfit, I am exploring a profound, Biblical approach to understanding these rules, empowering you to transform your life from the inside out.

This powerful episode, “Mastering the Game of Life: Unlocking God’s Rules for Success,” dives deep into why so many find themselves stuck in cycles of disappointment. I use the vivid analogy of a “poison ivy farmer” who repeatedly sows the same bad seed, expecting a different harvest. This perfectly illustrates the common human tendency to keep doing the same actions, harboring the same thoughts, and nurturing the same beliefs, all while hoping for a miraculous shift in outcome. But true transformation requires a change at the source.

The core truth I unpack is beautifully articulated in Proverbs 4:23: “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” This isn’t just a quaint saying; it’s a fundamental law of the universe, a divine principle revealing that your entire life; your relationships, finances, health, peace, and joy, flows directly from the condition of your heart. Your inner world dictates your outer reality. If you desire different “issues” or experiences in your life, you must first tend to the wellspring from which they originate.

I then guide you through the transformative power of intentional focus, drawing wisdom from Philippians 4:8: “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.” This Scripture isn’t merely advice; it’s a strategic blueprint for cultivating a heart and mind that attract positive outcomes. By consciously directing your thoughts towards what is good, pure, and praiseworthy, you begin to alter the very “seed” you are sowing, preparing your heart for a harvest of blessing. This process is about active, Biblical mindset management, not passive hoping.

Furthermore, I emphasize the paramount importance of seeking God’s Kingdom and His righteousness first. Matthew 6:33 declares, “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” This is the master key to unlocking every desired result in your life. When your primary pursuit is alignment with God’s divine will, His principles, and His perfect order, then all the “things” you need and desire—prosperity, peace, purpose, and abundance are supernaturally added to you as a natural overflow. This is the Christian Law of Attraction in its purest, most powerful form: prioritizing God’s way transforms your entire existence.

Stop playing blindly and start winning at the game of life! Learn how to discern God’s eternal rules, cultivate a heart focused on what is lovely and pure, and make seeking His Kingdom your ultimate priority. Discover how changing your inner world will inevitably manifest a glorious transformation in your outer life.
