God Has Called You to Do Something Great

Gary Keesee • June 19, 2019

The warning shouts from air traffic control were clear in my (Gary’s) headset, “CHANGE YOUR HEADING! YOU’RE HEADED STRAIGHT FOR IT!”

But there was no way I was turning back. Determined to reach my goal, I gripped the yoke and headed straight into the massive storm.

Seconds later, a bolt of lightning struck the right engine, sending the plane into a nosedive. It looked like there was no way I was going to make it out…

Of course, I didn’t really fly a plane into a massive storm at all. That was just part of the action-packed story our team dreamed up, and filmed using special effects, for our 2019 Provision Conference.

I did make it out of the crashing plane in the story. In fact, you should see what happened in the video. There’s much more to the story.

And that was the point of the video—to encourage YOU and to let you know that there’s MUCH MORE to YOUR story, too, friend.

And I want to make sure you don’t miss out on it.

Because God is trying to get something to you!

He told me , “YOU’RE NOT DONE. YOU’VE GOT TO KEEP GOING. REMIND THE PEOPLE THAT THERE’S MORE OUT THERE THAN THEY’RE TAPPING INTO.”

God has MORE for you .

Ephesians 3:20 says, “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.”

He has more for you— immeasurably more.

It’s time for you to think higher, dream bigger, take territory for the Kingdom, and occupy your God-designed destiny.

That’s the point of the video, and the goal of the 2019 Provision Conference.

Friend, you have something the world needs—something specific God designed you to do.

Whether you realize it or not, you have incredible potential. God has called you to do something great. He has given you gifts and talents that the world needs. He has a dream and a plan for your life.

You have a purpose and an assignment , and it’s time for you to ignore the roadblocks the enemy has been trying to put in your path and push the accelerator toward what God has for you!

As an important friend of this ministry, we want to help you.

We want to help you see the opportunities God has for you and walk them out. We want to help you jump-start your future and go to the next level!

You don’t have to keep doing things the hard way, the small way, or the slow way.

Of course, God’s system isn’t instantaneous. Success in the Kingdom of God happens one small decision at a time. You have to walk it out, get the training you need, and pass some tests to keep moving toward your God-designed destiny. We all do.

But God will train you and grow your capacity to handle the specific assignment He has for you, and He’ll also line up people to help you along the way.

That’s where the 2019 Provision Conference comes in.

Every year, God brings together an incredible team of people for the Provision Conference— a team of people whose mission is to COACH YOU TO YOUR NEXT LEVEL and to help you live out your God-designed destiny and accomplish your assignment for the Kingdom . The 2019 Provision Conference was no different.

You need to get these life-changing messages in your hands and in your ears !

You need to hear for yourself everything that was taught at the conference about the principles of the Kingdom of God, knowing who you are and what you’re uniquely designed for, how you can become all God created you to be, become an influencer, make an impact for the Kingdom, how to deal with difficult people, the power of strategy, and so much more!

Even if you were at the conference, you should get your copy so you can listen to these messages again and again!

“ But isn’t Provision your ‘entrepreneurs’ conference, Gary? I’m not an entrepreneur.”

It’s true that the Provision Conference does draw a lot of entrepreneurs, but the conference is really about success and business —and not just any business, but specifically helping YOU in the business of taking territory for the Kingdom of God.

And whether you recognize it right now or not, YOU have the power to produce something, make something, or do something to capture money, change your life, and help further the Kingdom of God just as much as any other entrepreneur or business owner.

We ALL just need mentoring and coaching to go to our next level.

That’s why we’re sending you this letter. Because mentoring and coaching you is exactly what the Provision Conference was designed for.

And this isn’t just your day-to-day mentoring and coaching. No, we specifically line up the best of the best —leaders in the faith and prominent leaders in their industries, leaders with amazing stories who are doing extraordinary things— to help you become all God created you to be, become an influencer, and make an impact for the Kingdom of God.

This year, we lined up three of the best keynote speakers: Dave Anderson, Dr. Dean Radtke, and Dan Pilla.

Dave Anderson is president of Dave Anderson’s LearnToLead, an international sales and leadership training and consulting company. Dave has given more than 2,000 workshops and speeches over the past two decades on sales and leadership development and has spoken in 17 countries.

Dave is the author of 14 books and authors a monthly leadership column for two national magazines. His interviews and articles have appeared in hundreds of publications, including: The Wall Street Journal, Investor’s Business Daily, and US News & World Report . He was a featured speaker at the NADA Convention for 10 straight years and is a frequent panelist on MSNBC’s Your Business show.

The thing I respect and love most about Dave and his teachings is that he doesn’t like fluff. He just tells it like it is, and he hit some serious home runs with each of his two main sessions about performance mentalities. He’ll have you taking an honest look in the mirror to get yourself right. Both of his sessions about knocked me out of my chair; I couldn’t take notes fast enough!

Dr. Dean Radtke is the Founder and CEO of The Institute of Ministry Management & Leadership, and has more than 35 years of senior corporate and ministry leadership and management experience. Having worked directly for Admiral John S. McCain, U.S. Atlantic Fleet; James E. Preston, Chairman, Avon Products, Inc.; Les Wexner, Chairman, The Limited, Inc.; multi-billion dollar, Fortune 500 companies; and as Executive Director for Pastor Rod Parsley, Breakthrough Television, and World Harvest Church, Dr. Radtke is in great demand as a professional and personal performance coach.

We’ve had the privilege of knowing Dean for many years now. Dean is an incredible coach and mentor, especially for leaders and pastors who are on the brink of quitting and are in desperate need of hope. I should know; I was one of them .

Dean and his systems completely changed our lives years ago when we found ourselves needing better processes in place to help us more effectively lead our growing ministry and an infusion of hope that things could eventually get better. It was a great honor to have him at the Provision Conference both to encourage everyone there and to share his tremendous knowledge on business, management, and leadership in his main session and in his workshops.

Dan Pilla is regarded as one of the country’s premier experts in IRS procedures. He has helped countless thousands of people solve personal and business tax problems they thought might never be solved.

As the author of 15 books, dozens of research reports, and hundreds of articles, Dan’s work is regularly featured on radio and television as well as in major newspapers, leading magazines, and trade publications nationwide. He is a frequent guest on major talk radio programs and media outlets, including CNN, CBS, CNBC, Fox News, C-SPAN, the CBS Radio Network, the USA Radio Network, and many others. His books have been recommended by prominent magazines and financial publications such as the Wall Street Journal , Money , Family Circle , Investor’s Business Daily, and more.

Dan was a consultant to the National Commission on Restructuring the IRS. He works with numerous public policy research institutes and presented testimony to Congress on several occasions. His testimony to the Senate Finance Committee blew the lid off IRS abuse and led to many new taxpayers’ rights and protections.

Dan is also an incredible teacher, and he didn’t talk about tax law! His main session hit hard as he talked about what’s impacting our culture and how we can take dominion, become influencers, and take territory for the Kingdom of God.

Dave, Dean, and Dan packed so much knowledge and wisdom into their sessions—you MUST hear them for yourself!

In addition to the four main sessions with Dave Anderson, Dr. Dean Radtke, and Dan Pilla, Drenda also shared a powerful main session message about the MOST-OFTEN-USED tactic of the enemy to get you off of your God-designed mission and how you can spot it. You need to see the old photos she shared and hear the stories she shared . It’s an incredible reminder of how far God has brought us.

I also led two critically important main sessions about the double portion (remember, God said, “ YOU’RE NOT DONE. YOU’VE GOT TO KEEP GOING. REMIND THE PEOPLE THAT THERE’S MORE OUT THERE THAN THEY’RE TAPPING INTO”) and The Power of Strategy. You absolutely need to hear these sessions! You need to learn how to gather all God already has for you!

There were also incredible, inspiring, and practical conference workshop sessions at this year’s conference.

You need a copy. Really. I can’t emphasize enough how important it is that you get your own copy of the 2019 Provision Conference main sessions and workshops.

I promise you these teachings will help you change your life.

Rooted in Faith for Everyday Moments

September 5, 2025
Reading Time 2 mins 56 secs – Take a moment and think about this: faith isn’t just for the mountaintop moments. It’s for Mondays. It’s for traffic jams, unexpected bills, and the times when you’re just trying to get through the week. God never designed faith to be complicated or out of reach. He designed it to be your everyday operating system. Faith Is for Today Sometimes, we picture faith as something we have to “muster up” for significant challenges, like praying for healing, believing for a miracle, or asking for a breakthrough in a crisis. And while faith absolutely applies to those moments, it’s also for the little ones. Faith is choosing to trust God with your attitude in a tough conversation. Faith is deciding to believe He’ll provide, even when your budget looks thin. Faith is remembering you’re never alone, even when you feel overlooked. Second Corinthians 5:7 (NIV) says, “ For we live by faith, not by sight. ” Notice it doesn’t say “visit by faith” or “use faith once in a while.” It says live. Faith was always meant to be your way of life. Small Steps, Strong Roots Faith doesn’t usually grow in leaps; it grows in steps. Little, steady decisions that put your trust in God day after day. Opening your Bible instead of scrolling on your phone first thing in the morning Speaking truth over yourself when your feelings want to run the show Praying before making a decision instead of relying only on logic These may not seem dramatic, but they lay a strong foundation. And just like a tree with deep roots, your faith will keep you standing strong when storms come. God Is Faithful, Even When Life Isn’t Here’s the best part: your faith doesn’t rest on your ability to figure everything out. It rests on God’s ability to be faithful. And He is. Always. When you feel shaky, remember this: God is steady. When you feel uncertain, remember this: His promises are sure. When you feel small, remember this: faith the size of a mustard seed can move mountains. You don’t need giant faith for God to move. You just need real faith in a giant God. Faith That Shows Up in Action Faith isn’t just belief in your heart; it’s trust that shows up in your choices. James 2:17 says, faith without works is dead, which means faith comes alive when you act on it. That could look like forgiving when it’s hard, giving when it feels impossible, or stepping into an opportunity that scares you, but you know God is calling you to. Every time you take action in faith, you’re making a declaration: “God, I trust You more than my feelings, more than my circumstances, and more than what I see.” That kind of faith not only changes your life, but it also inspires others to believe. A Simple Prayer to Start With “Lord, thank You that faith isn’t complicated. Teach me to live by faith in the small things and the big things. I trust You with my today, my tomorrow, and every detail of my life. Strengthen my heart and remind me that You are faithful. In Jesus’s name, amen.” Take This with You Faith isn’t a moment. It’s a mindset. It’s not about pretending life is easy. It’s about trusting God, no matter what life looks like. Friend, you don’t need to wait for a crisis to practice faith. You can start today, right where you are, with whatever you’re carrying. Take a step. Speak His Word. Trust His heart. Because faith isn’t just for the extraordinary, it’s for the everyday. And your everyday is exactly where God loves to show up.

Everyday Healing: God Cares About the Little Things

By Gary Keesee • August 15, 2025
Reading Time 2 mins 49 secs – Okay, let’s take a breath. Not everything has to be heavy, and healing doesn’t have to feel impossible or mysterious. Sometimes, we just need to be reminded that God actually wants us to feel better. Yes, you included. God Cares About How You Feel We can get so used to pushing through that we forget God never designed us to live burned out, worn out, or always dealing with pain. Third John (NIV) 1:2b says, “ I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well .” God’s heart is not just that we survive life. His heart is that we thrive—spirit, soul, and body. That includes your sleep. That includes your energy. That includes your mind and your moods. Healing Isn’t Just for Emergencies Most of us wait to think about healing until something significant goes wrong. A diagnosis. A surgery. A crisis. However, healing is an integral part of your daily life as a believer. You don’t have to wait for something to fall apart to lean into God’s promises. It’s kind of like drinking water; your body needs it regularly, not just when you're dehydrated. The Word is the same. It brings strength, clarity, and peace to your health before the storm hits. You’re allowed to believe in a life where you’re not constantly recovering—you’re well. Small Shifts, Big Results Maybe you’ve been dealing with something for a while—nothing catastrophic, just something that lingers. A chronic ache. Fatigue. Brain fog. A stress habit that’s hard to shake. Can I encourage you? You don’t have to settle for “just getting by.” Start speaking life over your body. Make simple changes in faith; walk a little more, drink more water, eat a bit better, get quiet with God. Healing isn’t always dramatic. Sometimes, it happens gently. Daily. Gradually. The power of God isn’t always loud, but it’s always effective. The Best Kind of Doctor He doesn’t rush your appointment. He’s never stumped by your symptoms. And He doesn’t hand you a bill at the end. He simply says, “Come to Me.” Come tired. Come unsure. Come with your questions. And He’ll give you rest (Matthew 11:28). Yes, He heals in big, miraculous ways—but He also heals in little moments of laughter, sunlight, worship, and truth. Let’s Make This Simple Healing isn’t about performance. It’s about proximity—staying close to the Healer. So, take the pressure off today. You’re not failing if you’re still waiting. You’re not disqualified if you’ve had some doubts. You’re growing. You’re learning. And most of all, you’re loved. Let healing be a conversation you have with God, not a crisis you fear. Let it be part of your everyday life with Him, not just a 911 prayer when things feel scary. A Simple Prayer to Start With “Lord, thank You that You care about every part of me. You know when I’m tired, hurting, anxious, or overwhelmed. Thank You for being my Healer, not just in emergencies but in the everyday. I receive Your peace and Your promises. I speak life over my body and my mind today, in Jesus’s name. Amen.” Take This with You Healing doesn’t have to feel far away or hard to reach. It’s not reserved for the super spiritual or the desperate. It’s available, it’s real, and it’s for right now. You don’t have to make it complicated. Just take one step. Open the Word, talk to God, speak life over yourself, and trust that He’s working behind the scenes. You don’t have to live in survival mode. You were made for wholeness. And friend? You’re allowed to feel better.

Faith Walks Before It Sees

By Gary Keesee • July 14, 2025
Reading Time 3 mins 46 secs – Picture this. You’re standing at the edge of a foggy path that winds through a forest. You’ve never walked this path before. You can’t see more than a few feet ahead. There are no signs. No map. No flashlight. Just a still, quiet voice inside telling you to start walking. Would you? Most people wouldn’t. They’d wait until the fog clears. Until the way is visible. Until they feel “sure.” But that’s not how the Kingdom works. Friend, faith walks before it sees. Hebrews 11:1 (NIV) tells us this plainly: Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. Not what we can see. Not what we understand. Not what’s guaranteed. Faith is walking when it feels like you’re walking blind, but you’re actually walking guided. Let’s talk about Abraham for a second. God said to him, “...Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you” (Genesis 12:1, NIV). God didn’t show Abraham the land first. He didn’t explain all the details. He didn’t promise a step-by-step plan. God simply said, “ Go, ” and Abraham went. He didn’t argue. He didn’t delay. He didn’t ask for the weather report or route details. He trusted the voice. He walked before he saw. And because of that one step, a generational promise was unlocked. Now, let’s fast forward to the New Testament, to the story found in Matthew 14. Jesus came walking on water in the middle of the night, and Peter saw Him. Peter said, “Lord, if it’s really You, tell me to come.” And Jesus said, “Come.” What did Peter do? He stepped out of the boat and onto the water. Pause and think about that. Peter walked on water—not because he had magic in his feet but because he trusted the One who called him forward. Peter walked before he saw. Yes, he started to sink when he looked at the waves, but before that, he did what no other human besides Jesus had done: he walked on water by faith. Friend, your boat might feel safer. It might feel familiar. But if God is calling you out of it, staying there is more dangerous than stepping forward. Let’s get real for a second. There are seasons when God will not show you the full picture, on purpose. Why? Because if He showed you everything, you’d try to control it instead of trusting Him with it. Faith is trusting His character when you can’t see His hand. It’s saying yes without having every answer. It’s building the ark before the rain comes. It’s marching around Jericho before the walls fall. It’s digging a ditch before there’s a drop of rain. That’s the Kingdom. Here’s what the Bible says: “For we live by faith, not by sight,” (2 Corinthians 5:7, NIV). That’s not a metaphor. That’s a lifestyle. You don’t wait until all your fear is gone to obey. You don’t wait until you’re certain to trust. It means you don’t wait until your finances line up perfectly to give. You walk before you see. Let’s look at one more example. In Acts 9, Saul, who later became Paul, was traveling to Damascus while persecuting Christians when, suddenly, a blinding light stopped him. Jesus spoke directly to him, and Saul was blinded. God then instructed a man named Ananias to go and pray for Saul and restore his sight. Ananias was hesitant because he knew Saul’s reputation for harming believers. Despite his doubts and without any guarantees, Ananias obeyed and went to Saul. He stepped out in faith before knowing the outcome. That single act of obedience set the stage for Paul’s powerful ministry and the writing of much of the New Testament. So, let me ask you… Where is God asking you to walk, before you see? To step into a calling that scares you? To give up something you’ve leaned on for security? To trust Him with your finances? To forgive someone you haven’t gotten an apology from? Whatever it is, I want you to hear this. You don’t have to see the outcome to take the next step. You don’t have to understand the entire path to move forward in obedience. Faith walks before it sees. That’s where the miracles are. That’s where the provision is. That’s where peace is waiting. Your comfort zone won’t get you there. But your obedience will. God doesn’t need your full understanding. He needs your full surrender. So today, let this be your reminder… You don’t have to feel brave. You just have to follow. Even in the fog. Even in the unknown. Even when it doesn’t make sense. Because God is already in the place He’s calling you to. He’s gone ahead. He’s prepared the way. He’s waiting at your next step. So, take it. Because faith? It always walks before it sees.
