Episode 82 – The Dangerous Deception of False Rapture Dates – Blocking Your Christian Prosperity!

By Ryan Hicks | July 14, 2026

Discover the Perilous Truth About False Rapture Dates and Their Impact on Your Christian Prosperity! In this crucial TaughtToProfit message, I am exploring a deeply concerning trend within the professing Christian community: the dangerous allure of false rapture date predictions and how they actively sabotage your path to genuine Biblical prosperity. Many believers, grappling with life’s challenges they have created for themselves, mistakenly transform their hope for Christ’s return into an “escape dream,” eagerly anticipating a sudden exit from their perceived miserable existence. This episode critically examines the faithlessness behind this escapist mindset, highlighting how it fosters inaction, misplaced faith, and spiritual destruction.

I delve into the phenomenon of false prophets, referencing movements like the one led by Joshua Mhlakela, as a poignant example of those who peddle specific, unsubstantiated dates for the rapture. The video unpacks Jesus’ clear warnings against such deception, drawing from Scripture to unequivocally state that no man knows the day or hour of His return (Matthew 24:36). By placing faith in these human-made predictions, individuals are not only ignoring God’s direct Word but are also turning from my Lord Jesus Who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life (John 14:6), to follow destructive lies.

Furthermore, I connect this dangerous trend to the “Christian Law of Attraction”: demonstrating how focusing on hopelessness and putting faith in false narratives inevitably attracts continued spiritual and personal destruction, rather than God’s intended blessings. The message emphasizes the Biblical mandate to “seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness” (Matthew 6:33), contrasting this active pursuit with the passive consumption of endless online speculation that characterizes many drawn to these false prophecies. I reveal how this “chronically online” habit prevents believers from engaging in purposeful action and fulfilling their God-given potential. Learn why becoming a passive spectator to online speculation instead of an active participant in God’s plan is a devilish trap designed to keep you from true Christian success. This in-depth discussion serves as an urgent call to discernment, repentance, and re-alignment with God’s Word, guiding you back to a path of active faith, righteousness, and the genuine prosperity that comes from following the Good Shepherd, Jesus Christ. Reject the deceptive “escape dream” and embrace the powerful truth that empowers you to live a fruitful and blessed life today, as God intended!

He Already Knows! Stop Babbling Your Problems to God & Speak to the Mountain!

By Ryan Hicks | July 1, 2026

Unlock the Power of Your Faith: Stop Explaining, Start Declaring!

Are you tired of feeling stuck in a cycle of constantly explaining your problems to God, only to find yourself still overwhelmed and frustrated? Do you find yourself “venting” about your challenges to the Almighty, as if He’s unaware of your struggles or needs a detailed briefing on your situation? At TaughtToProfit, we believe it’s time for a transformative shift in how you approach prayer and your challenges.

In this powerful video, “He Already Knows! Stop Babbling Your Problems to God & Speak to the Mountain!”, I delve into a profound Biblical truth that will empower you to move beyond mere explanation and into active, faith-filled declaration. Many believers inadvertently treat God as if He is oblivious to their circumstances, spending precious prayer time recounting every detail of their “mountains,” be it financial struggles, health battles, relationship woes, or personal fears. However, the Scripture unequivocally declares that our God is omniscient; He knows everything, even the thoughts of our hearts and our needs before we utter a single word (Psalm 139:1-4; Matthew 6:8).

This video challenges the common misconception that God requires us to painstakingly describe our problems. Instead, it illuminates the Biblical command given by Jesus Himself in Mark 11:23-24: “For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.”

This isn’t about ignoring God or being disrespectful; it’s about radical obedience to His Word. We explore why endlessly “babbling” or “venting” about problems to God can actually empower those problems in our own minds, keeping us focused on the negative rather than on God’s almighty power and promised solutions. This focus on the negative also causes us to attract more negativity into our lives via the law of attraction (If you do not understand the law of attraction, get my book “God’s Secret Law Of Attraction” at https://taughttoprofitstore.com/products/gods-secret-law-of-attraction-by-ryan-hicks). This teaching encourages you to stop giving power to your problems by constantly rehearsing them and instead, start exercising your God-given authority by speaking directly to your mountains.

You will learn to identify the “mountains” in your life and understand the transformative difference between speaking about them to God, and speaking to them with the faith of God. Discover practical, Scriptural ways to:

Recognize God’s absolute knowledge of your situation.
Shift your prayer language from problem-focused explanation to solution-focused declaration.
Command your circumstances to align with God’s will using His Word.
Unleash God’s power in your life by operating in audacious faith.

If you’re ready to stop giving your problems a voice and start giving God’s solutions the authority they deserve, this video is a must-watch. Join us in the Member Vault at https://www.TaughtToProfit.com/member-vault/ and learn how to truly “speak to the mountain” and witness God’s miraculous intervention in your life. Embrace the power of your faith and step into a life where your words, aligned with God’s Word, move mountains!

Watch now and transform your prayer life forever!

Episode 80 – Choose Life and Blessing Daily: How to Avoid the Default of Death and Cursing!

By Ryan Hicks | June 30, 2026

Start each day decreeing this over your life: “Today, I choose life! Today, I choose blessing! Today, I choose to serve the LORD! I will not default to anything less than what God has promised me!” Download this affirmation as a downloadable and printable image at: https://taughttoprofit.com/download/Choose_Life_And_Blessing_Affirmation_Card_TaughtToProfit.com.jpg

Unlock the profound power of your daily choices and understand how to intentionally activate a life of blessing and prosperity instead of defaulting to a path of cursing. In this essential video from TaughtToProfit, I dive deep into the pivotal Scripture of Deuteronomy 30:19, where God lays out a clear, unambiguous choice: “I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live.” This verse isn’t merely historical; it’s a timeless principle for every believer today, revealing that our destinies are not solely predetermined by fate or a mysterious “God’s will” for suffering, but are profoundly shaped by our active decisions.

Many individuals mistakenly believe that life’s challenges, setbacks, and periods of lack are simply random occurrences or an inevitable part of their journey, sometimes even attributing negative experiences to God’s plan for their lives. However, this video challenges that passive mindset, showing you that blessing is not the automatic default for those who are inactive. Instead, the Bible teaches us that consistently choosing life and blessing is a daily, intentional act. When we fail to make that conscious choice for prosperity and well-being, the Scripture warns that we inadvertently default to “death and cursing.” This isn’t God actively punishing us; rather, it’s the natural consequence of not engaging with His divine invitation to choose the path of abundance.

I explore why so many people observe negative experiences around them and incorrectly conclude that these are simply “part of life.” They are often witnessing the default consequences for those who do not actively engage their Scriptural authority to choose blessings, and then mistakenly thinking that these negative experiences are just what we must expect from life. Learn how to break free from this cycle of passive acceptance and embrace the Biblical truth of your empowered will. Discover practical ways to actively choose life and blessing every single day through the transformative power of your words, as highlighted in Proverbs 18:21 (“Death and life are in the power of the tongue:”), and by renewing your mind according to Romans 12:2 (“be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind,”). TaughtToProfit is dedicated to empowering you to live a life that reflects God’s desire for your wholeness, abundance, and success. Watch now and begin making the choices that lead to your promised inheritance of life and blessing!
