The Art of Asking and Receiving

My new book, The Art of Asking and Receiving, will be released around mid-August. Below is a synopsis of my book:

Often we pray to God, seeking for certain answers or asking Him to meet our needs in life. Many times it seems that God is far away and is not listening to our prayers. Too often many people become discouraged and lose focus on God because they do not receive answers to their prayers or it seems that the answers are slow in coming. We, as born again Christians, are always beset by doubts of our own worthiness to receive God’s blessings. We are not necessarily uncertain that God can make miracles, only that He might not consider us worthy to receive them. Sometimes, we pray with high expectations and low patience, prayers like, "Give me patience Lord, and give it to me right now!"

This book answers those questions and settles the uncertainty. E. Richard Bridgeforth, Sr. shows us not only how to pray, but also how to believe in what we pray, and how much God loves us and wants to answer our prayers. Now we can be certain we are ready for God to hear us.

Alissa Dunn, author of The Unclaimed Christmas Gift says, "I believe that every word written in this book was carefully prayed over by E. Richard Bridgeforth, Sr. before even putting it onto paper. He is a man with an incredible desire to serve God, and he is very careful to ask for God’s wisdom and blessing before speaking or writing."


Thank you and may God bless!

Congratulations on your new book, Richard, and welcome. Or would you prefer to be called Preacher?

Congratulations, Richard/Preacher/Richard Bridgeforth, Sr, and welcome to our group.

Thank you, Brenda.

You can call me by either name. Most people who know me have been calling me "Preacher" because of the fact that I am a minister and that I often talk about the Lord. So it really doesn't matter to me.

Another bit of good news: I went to speak to the owner of a "store front" building in town today about the possibility of getting the building for a street ministry. The building will be used for Chapel services and for one-on-one ministering. We will also have some sandwiches and hopefully soup to service once in a while and perhaps some watermelons when they become available.

It looks like the owner is willing to allow me the use of this building and the equipment that is still there from a previous ministry that walked out and quit. I have an appointment with him tomorrow at 5:30PM to talk about the arrangements. I believe that God has opened a door for this to come about and it looks as though I will finally be pastoring my first church, or at least a chapel, that will be called Soul's Harvest.

Also, I want to thank zadaconnaway for the welcome.

God bless!

Congratulations on your book! I look forward to reading it!

You may not remember, but we spoke a bit over a year ago on another board - at least I think it was a year ago. I put you in touch with someone else, won't go into that, but I'm glad you're doing well.

Welcome, Richard. It is good to see you here.

Exciting news about the book and the street ministry!

Hi Carol! How are you doing? I have been praying a lot for you as the last I heard, you were having some medical problems. I pray that you are doing fine.

Brenda, yes, I remember all that. I used to write to the lady you put me in contact with. We wrote to each other for quite some time, but she stopped emailing me. The last two emails I sent her went unanswered, so I felt that she just did not want to write any longer. Anyway, she was very helpful to me in that she gave me words of encouragement during the time we wrote after my wife passed away. That first year after losing my wife was a real hard time for me. It is somewhat better now because I stay busy all the time and have a lot of things going on in ministry. But with the friends who have encouraged me and with God's help, I have been able to sort of get on with my life.

Thank you Sue and merrihiatt. My new book is a small book, only about 50 or so pages, but I believe it will be a book that will be well received, especially for those interested in learning how to pray and receive answers to their prayers.

I pray that y'all have a wonderful and blessed day!

Richard,

I am doing well. Thank you for your prayers.
