Where is God?

Dean Bassett — Wed, 30 Apr 2025 14:36:24 GMT

Have you ever sat in a church service and wondered, “Where is God?” in all the stuff we do? Does the crescendo of a hymn or Worship song move you to the point where you think you feel God’s presence?

As long as people are getting healed and set free, I would say God is actively present. I know God does wonderful, incredible things in our lives, but I thi…

Enough?

Dean Bassett — Wed, 23 Apr 2025 18:20:21 GMT

In my last newsletter, I presented one of the main questions I asked myself at the beginning of my journey: “How much is enough?”

What am I shooting for? I want to have enough to pass down to my kids so that they will have enough to do whatever they want to do and the wisdom to manage what they receive and build upon it. I want to build wealth that will …

Set your Mind on Wealth.

Dean Bassett — Wed, 16 Apr 2025 14:35:43 GMT

I was going to create a whole other newsletter about creating and sustaining wealth. This is a process or journey I am on for my own family. You get the benefit of my process of figuring out how to teach my kids.

Let me explain how this idea originated... My children and nephews frequently ask me all the time how to get rich. I feel uneasy whenever they …

Holy vs. Righteous

Dean Bassett — Fri, 14 Mar 2025 14:45:55 GMT

The Bible says in Leviticus 19:2,

Speak to the entire assembly of Israel and say to them: ‘Be holy because I, the LORD your God, am holy.’

How is this possible? How can an imperfect man be like a perfect God?

Wha…

Fruits and Gifts

Dean Bassett — Sun, 09 Mar 2025 05:30:39 GMT

1 Corinthians 14:1 NIV

Follow the way of love and eagerly desire gifts of the Spirit, especially prophecy.

In this passage, Paul encourages us to eagerly seek the gifts of the Spirit—at least, that is how most p…

Building with God…

Dean Bassett — Mon, 24 Feb 2025 16:36:55 GMT

I am the kind of person that seems to come up with a new business idea at least once a week, but I struggle to turn any of them into reality. Some of them are good ideas, confirmed by the reality I see when other people successfully accomplish what I dreamed of but didn’t do. While walking up to the edge of making excuse for my failure to achieve succes…

Be Content....

Dean Bassett — Fri, 04 Oct 2024 14:21:42 GMT

Can you be content and seek prosperity? I believe so, but it depends on how you define these words. One in particular! Prosperity….

Prosperity is defined as, if it just means to be rich and wealthy, then yeah that might be a problem. Not impossible, but difficult. It’s hard to pursue more wealth, which is by definition not contentment with what you have.

…

Trust the God who knows.

Dean Bassett — Wed, 25 Sep 2024 14:17:42 GMT

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. And I will be found of you, saith the LORD: and I …

"Do"....

Dean Bassett — Thu, 25 Jul 2024 14:14:13 GMT

Step one is to write down the stuff you want to have. Why write it down? If you only speak it, you won’t give the details needed to avoid adding chaos…..

I will have to expound on that, but I’m just trying to present my HDB principle. So you write down as clearly as possible what you want to have. To get something, you must know what you desire to “have.…

Have

Dean Bassett — Thu, 18 Jul 2024 15:01:34 GMT

I’ve been listening to Myron Golden on YouTube. If you aren’t currently, please go find him on YouTube! I promise you will experience a transformation just from listening to his teaching.

I recently heard Him talk about “Be, Do, and Have.” These posts are my spin on his idea, starting with the have.

What is it that you are working for? What is the reason …

Disruption following intention...

Dean Bassett — Thu, 11 Jul 2024 16:25:57 GMT

When I decide or set my desire or intention on something, disruption shows up. Usually, it’s with good intentions, but it slams my momentum to a halt. After listening to Myron Golden, I have the context of what is going on, but I don’t know how to overcome it yet!

In Genesis 1:1, God created the heavens and the earth. This doesn’t mean that He created th…

Breath....

Dean Bassett — Wed, 05 Jun 2024 19:17:51 GMT

In Acts 2, when the disciples received the Holy Spirit, the word used for Spirit is pneuma, and in Hebrew, it is ruah or ruach. This is also the word used for breath in Genesis 2, when God breathed into Adam’s nostrils, turning Him into a living creature.

A thought emerged after reflecting on these two events and considering the broader context of scrip…

You might have to go through a pit?

Dean Bassett — Tue, 28 May 2024 14:01:50 GMT

How many of us are called to lead, but push back against the very thing teaching us and building us into the leader we need to be. Can you see your struggles are shaping your character?

Both Joseph and Moses had a view of life from a palace mindset. Moses actually grew up in a Palace and Joseph had visions of ruling of his family. But that view of leader…

Pardon the interruption!

Dean Bassett — Sat, 18 May 2024 17:15:08 GMT

Its been a few days since I last posted!

Family life got a little busy and crazy, but that is getting under control.

This last week, I had Jury duty. To avoid any problems I had to stay off social media, which according to the instructions from the Judge, included blogging.

Its time to get back at it! Time for writing my thoughts again. So here we go with …

Who is your Counselor?

Dean Bassett — Tue, 07 May 2024 19:20:26 GMT

Are you faced with a hard decision? We have had to make some difficult choices for our kids in the last year.

We had some issues with the school the kids were going to, so we made the choice to homeschool our kids. We spent some time praying about it.

Adversity on the path.

Dean Bassett — Mon, 06 May 2024 17:00:57 GMT

This was the hardest week of my writing adventure.

I'm working on a book, and at the beginning of the week, I realized it was wrong, so I started over. At that point everything came against me in an attempt to stop the writing.

The Value of Teaching

Dean Bassett — Wed, 01 May 2024 15:15:53 GMT

My whole life I've heard the phrase, “those that can't do, teach.” I've always found that to be arrogant. It's usually said by some arrogant student, that thinks they are better than their teacher.

Have you ever watched an undefeated fighter lose a fight? It's very humbling for the loser, and fills the heart of the new champ with pride and arrogance. I a…

Revealed Hearts

Dean Bassett — Mon, 29 Apr 2024 22:04:02 GMT

What Tool does God use to reveal your heart?

I have observed that one tool has been used repeatedly to reveal the hearts of people around me. It's Money.

Money is a resource. We also agree to use and exchange it…

Book work for your mind.

Dean Bassett — Sun, 28 Apr 2024 22:15:43 GMT

The thing that separates most people from success is their mind-set or view of life. Is the glass half full or half empty?

To move toward success, you have to work on your mind! I do that most effectively through reading. Weather by print or Audio Books, these are 5 of the most impactful books.

Self-Promotion vs. Promoting an Idea

Dean Bassett — Sat, 27 Apr 2024 17:13:02 GMT

I feel very self-conscious about self promotion. It's not false humility, I am just not wired to be about me. But I love Ideas. I will share ideas all day long. I’ll even discuss bad ideas, even though I think you’re wrong, it's good to review why my idea is right.

So I don't like self promotion, but to promote my thoughts or ideas I have to promote myse…
