Welcome to The FLOT Line, with your host, Rick Hughes. For the next 30 minutes, you will be inspired, motivated, and educated, but never manipulated. FLOT is an acronym for Forward Line of Troops. The show teaches principles from the Bible and focuses on God’s 10 unique problem-solving devices. If you choose to learn and apply them, they will act as a main line of resistance in your soul, a FLOT line, preventing the outside sources of adversity from becoming the inside pressure of stress in your soul. The intent is to give you information to help you identify the plan of God for your life.

The Process, Part 4 (2014) 27.06.2024

You can’t be a game-changer for God just because you are enthusiastic or eloquent. You must be accurate. If you’re going to be a winner in the plan of God and be one of the people who hold this nation together, you need to learn the process. You need to learn to think with the mind of Christ. God wants you to organize your thinking. “God has assigned to each one of us a standard of thinking from H...

The Process, Part 3 (2014) 26.06.2024

Without understanding the process and learning the protocol plan of God, you will drift in time and fail to redeem your time wisely. “See that you walk circumspectly, not as a fool but as a wise person, redoing the time because the days are evil” (Eph 5:15-16). The measure of greatness in the plan of God is to serve and see to the needs of others. Learning humility is key to living the Christian l...

The Process, Part 2 (2014) 24.06.2024

You must be willing to come to the place in your life where you say, “Whatever it takes, Father, I want to grow. I want to be the person you want me to be.”  God has a system—the process—He wants us to operate in and it’s called the protocol plan of God. You must learn it. The basis is the filling of the Holy Spirit and Biblical orientation. The process takes a lifetime as we form Christ in u...

The Process, Part 1 (2014) 23.06.2024

Winner believers are those who learn the process, which means understanding the Protocol Plan of God and glorifying God to the maximum. “Come my children and listen to me. I will teach you respect for the Lord” (Ps 34:11-14). The protocol plan of God is the process by which you grow to be a winner, one day at a time. “Guide me with Your Word and train me because You are the God of my deliverance”...

The Four C's (2014) 22.06.2024

"The Four C’s" describe the process for learning God's Word, understanding Him and growing spiritually: communicate, capture; comprehend, and convert (or comply). The pastor-teacher’s job is to communicate. The ministry of the Holy Spirit empowers you to capture and comprehend what you hear. Then by believing it, you convert it into understanding and applying it to the circumstances...

Fear and Courage (2014) 21.06.2024

Fear is an indicator of stress and a manifestation of arrogance. You can’t be afraid without putting an abnormal emphasis on yourself. Fear is a mental attitude sin and not compatible with the function of your spiritual life. “God has not given us a lifestyle of fear but of power and of love and of sound judgment” (2 Tim 1:7). Fear destroys your capability to think and your capacity to live. Coura...

Clashes and Conflicts (2014) 20.06.2024

You are in a war called the angelic conflict. The battle is for the hearts and minds of the human race. Satan is trying to vindicate himself so he doesn’t have to spend eternity in the Lake of Fire. So Satan and his angels always seek to discredit, distort or eliminate the dissemination of the gospel of Jesus Christ. “Be sober and be vigilant because your adversary the devil walks around like a ro...

Gold, Silver and Precious Stones (2014) 19.06.2024

Our God is a God of protocol, which demands that the right thing must be done the right way. We cannot make up the rules as we go along. We have to obey God's plan. “Study to show thyself approved unto God” (2 Tim 2:15).  Click for Full Transcript:  https://rhem.pub/gold-silver-2990d9

Pressing Toward the Prize (2014) 17.06.2024

Don’t dwell on your past failures. If you’re still alive, God has a plan for you. “I forgot those things that are behind me and I reach forth to the things which are in front” (Phil 4:13). Rebound, stay filled with the Holy Spirit and press on toward the prize. “I press toward the mark of the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus” (Phil 3:14). The prize is hearing the Lord say, “Well do...

Giving (2014) 16.06.2024

Giving is an attitude toward the Lord and can be an expression of grace toward others. It depends on your understanding of Scripture and being well-motivated. “And not even as we anticipated, but they gave first of themselves to the Lord. Then they gave to us by the will of God” (2 Col 8:5). If you give money—which is the right thing—but it's done in the wrong way it will not glorify God. Firs...

Do Not Be Anxious (2014) 15.06.2024

Worry and fear are sins and won’t help you handle adversity. "Do not be anxious for your life" (Matt 6:25). This is a mandate from God. Worry is self-centered emotionally driven fear. Faith is the absence of fear. “In God I will put my trust and I will not be afraid of what man can do to me” (Ps 56:11). Faith, is you claiming God’s promises. Without faith-rest, you will have stress in yo...

Emotions (2014) 14.06.2024

Emotions are an enemy of the Christian. God gives you mentality. You don’t have to let your emotions control your life. Emotions react. Thinking responds. You have a choice. Controlling your emotions is a wonderful thing. “Let this mind be in you that was also in Christ Jesus” (Phil 2:5). Humility is required to be successful in life. Arrogant people never have it. They are full of self-justificat...

Hearer or Doer (2014) 13.06.2024

Many hear the Word of God but never apply it. “Be a doer of the Word and not a hearer only” (James 1:22). Being a hearer only means you fail to metabolize what you hear. You’ll lose the blessing of God when you hear and don’t apply truth and you’ll never establish a FLOT line in your soul. The doer of the Word of God replaces human viewpoint with divine viewpoint thinking. The Word of God is strea...

Winner or Loser (2014) 12.06.2024

What think ye of Christ? To believe in Jesus Christ and receive Him as your personal Savior is the greatest decision you could ever make. You don’t have any guarantee you will be alive tomorrow so don’t delay another minute if you haven’t his most important decision on where you will spend eternity—heaven or the Lake of Fire. God has a process for living the Christian way of life and you need to l...

Is Satan Leading You? (2014) 10.06.2024

Satan wants to lead you away from God’s plan, distract you from the Word of God, and make you think you’re doing wonderful things for God because you’re busy at work in the energy of the flesh. If you are in carnality (unconfessed sins in your life) thinking with a human viewpoint instead of a divine one, you are vulnerable to Satan’s leading. How do you know if Satan is trying to lead you? You wi...

Who is Leading You (2014) 09.06.2024

Satan and his system of evil will tempt you to ignore the divine precedence of the Christian way of life which is learning and using God’s problem-solving devices. As our Lord Jesus Christ did, you need to counter the temptations by staying filled with the Holy Spirit and using the Word of God. As God-man, Christ didn’t do anything you can’t do. He used the unique divine resources God the Father g...

Going It Alone (2014) 08.06.2024

With the filling of the Holy Spirit and the Word of God in your soul, you can defeat Satan. But without it, you’re powerless. The Holy Spirit is the engine and the Word of God is the fuel He uses to power the engine. The Lord may give you evidence testing before you get to heaven. God will call you to the witness stand and you will have to go it alone. As God-man our Lord depended on the Holy Spir...

Evidence Testing (2014) 07.06.2024

There will come a time when God asks you to go it alone, in evidence testing. To be prepared for this testing, you must “Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior” (2 Pet 3:18). Jesus used the ministry of the Holy Spirit and Scripture to pass His testing, which you need to do also. Jesus Christ cut the template for us to be Christ-like. We can live as He lived in the devil’s world. Th...

Failure (2014) 06.06.2024

We all have failures, frustrations, and flaws. Some flaws are inherited and some are acquired. The key is to deal with sin. Confess your sin to God, move on, and don’t look back. “Forgetting those things which are behind me, I reach forward to those things which are ahead” (Phil 3:13). Let go of the past—guilt is a sin. If you are a Christian, it doesn’t matter what you’ve done, God will forgive y...

Put Your Trust in God (2014) 05.06.2024

Satan would love to put doubt, anger or resentment in your mind related to some tragedy you’ve endured. “The devil goes about as a roaring lion seeking whom he can devour” (1 Pet 5:8). You might not understand why things happen but you need to understand God has made provisions for you to have confidence and courage in the face of adversity. God knows what is happening to you. Put your trust in Hi...

Doctrinal Orientation (2014) 03.06.2024

Jesus Christ, when He lived on this earth, knew and used Scripture for deliverance from the temptations of Satan. That’s what we must do also. Learning Bible doctrine, the promises, principles and procedures found in the Word of God and applying them is the problem-solving device of doctrinal orientation. God’s Word has to be learned and applied for you to get sustainable energy critical to living...

Hell, Part 2 (2014) 02.06.2024

Hell exists. It’s a place where unbelievers go after death awaiting the Great White Throne of Judgment. Unbelievers are those who chose to not believe in Jesus Christ and rejected Him as their Savior. They will be judged for this sin and cast into the Lake of Fire to live forever in darkness and pain. The Lake of Fire is much worse than hell—it is eternal burning. “Death and hell delivered up the...

Hell, Part 1 (2014) 01.06.2024

Hell is real. Hell is a holding place for those who chose to reject Jesus Christ as their Savior—the unbelievers, the unrighteous. “He that knew no sin was made sin for us that we may be made the righteousness of God through Him” (2 Cor 5:21). Hell is the place where they await the Great White Throne of Judgment before being cast into the Lake of Fire. Hell was prepared for Satan and his angels, n...

Faith Rest (2014) 31.05.2024

“Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God” (Rom 10:17). To have faith-rest you need to know God’s Word. For faith to have muscles, you must grow spiritually. The faith-rest drill is putting your adversity in God’s hands and standing still. “Stand still and watch what God is about to do” (Ex 14:13). The strength of the Christian life is standing still in God’s grace provisions, mixing...

Filling of the Holy Spirit (2014) 30.05.2024

The Filling of the Holy Spirit maintains fellowship with God. When you sin you break fellowship with God and that’s why problem-solving device number one, the rebound technique, is so critical to living the Christian way of life. You can’t live it in the power of the flesh, controlled by the sin nature. The only way to live the supernatural Christian life is with the supernatural resources of the...
