It’s Time for You to Accelerate

Gary Keesee • June 12, 2018

I drove a car off a cliff.

And not just any car—I drove a Ferrari off a cliff.

Have you lost your mind, Gary? This is no way to open a post!

I haven’t even gotten to the best part.

After I drove the Ferrari off the cliff, unbuckled my seat belt, and jumped out, I…

Well, you really just need to see the video. Yes, there’s a video. Our team created this awesome video for this year’s Provision Conference, and you need to see it.

Because it’s really about YOUR life…

It’s about ignoring the roadblocks the enemy puts in your path.

It’s about God making a way when it looks like there’s no way.

It’s about not slowing down or stopping, but pushing the accelerator.

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 ACCELERATE into the life God has for you. It’s time for you to double your speed, double your vision, and double your focus.

It’s time for you to have God’s double portion for your life and to make an impact for His Kingdom.

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

We want to help you change your mind-set—your thinking—to one of opportunity and acceleration. We want to help you jump-start your future.

You can 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. We all do.

God will train you and raise you up with the 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 2018 Provision Conference comes in.

God brought together an incredible team of people at the 2018 Provision Conference—a team of people whose mission is to coach YOU to your next level and to help you accomplish your assignment.

You need the life-changing messages from the 2018 Provision Conference.

You need to hear for yourself everything that was taught at the conference about the principles of the Kingdom of God, doing things God’s way, sticking to your assignment, and so much more.

We know these mentorship messages will inspire you and allow God to cast vision for your life. We believe they’ll help you recognize the ideas God has been downloading for you and how to walk them out; and they’ll help you discover your potential and hone in on exactly what your “something specific” might be.

Even if you were there, 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 it’s really about business—specifically, the business of making money to fund 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 further the Kingdom of God just as much as any other entrepreneur.

You just need mentoring and coaching.

And that’s what the Provision Conference is all about. 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 accomplish your God-designed assignment.

This year, we lined up two of the best keynote speakers: Dave Hodgson and Dr. Dean Radtke.

Dave has an amazing story you absolutely have to hear for yourself. He grew up in Africa during the turbulent ‘60s and ‘70s, was conscripted into the Rhodesian Army, and joined the Secret Air Service. Later, he joined the highly secretive Selous Scouts, and then fought as a mercenary.

Eventually, he immigrated to Australia, where he came to know Jesus during an amazing encounter at a Reinhard Bonnke crusade.

Dave is the Founder and Managing Director of the Paladin Corporation, which owns more than $850 million worth of business acquisitions. He also founded Kingdom Investors, a marketplace ministry, which has spread around Australia and overseas.

Dave’s two sessions hit hard as he shared the critical Kingdom principles he’s learned over the years that have taken his companies from “below zero” to being worth more than $100 million and influencing the culture.

I love how Dave uses the term “spiritual logic,” and his personal story left me shaking my head in disbelief, but what impacted me the most in his sessions was the remarkable story he shared about how God worked through a dire financial situation. That story alone makes the whole Provision Conference teachings worth getting!

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 two main sessions and in his workshops.

Both Dave and Dean packed so much knowledge on provision and going to the next level in their sessions—you MUST hear them for yourself!

In addition to the four main sessions with Dave Hodgson and Dr. Dean Radtke, Drenda also shared a powerful main session message about the tactics the enemy uses to get you off of your God-designed mission. You need to see the footage she shared from when she allowed our granddaughter Ivory to apply her makeup and hear what happened afterwards. It’s a hilarious peek into our life as grandparents.

I also led two critically important main sessions about God’s Sabbath Rest and the double portion. You absolutely need to hear Arthur’s story at the end of my first session. It’s an undeniably encouraging story of how God restores above and beyond what the enemy steals! And you don’t want to miss the six reasons why people never discover or tap into the double portion that I shared during my second main session, because I don’t want that to be you!

You need a copy. Really. I can’t emphasize enough how important it is that you get your own copy of the 2018 Provision Conference main sessions and workshops.

I promise you these teachings will help you change your life, reach further, be stronger, move faster, and accelerate into the future God has for you.

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.
