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 Six Trials of Christ (2012) 31.03.2024

Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ endured six illegal trials including beatings and horrid treatment before being sentenced to death by crucifixion. He never complained. “We have turned everyone to his own way and God the Father hath laid on God the Son the inquiry of us all. Jesus Christ was oppressed. He was afflicted and yet He opened not His mouth” (Is 53:3-7). When Jesus completed God the Fath...

When to Keep Your Mouth Shut (2013) 30.03.2024

You can glorify God far more when you keep your mouth shut than when you run your mouth. Make this a principle in your life. Never judge another person. “Do not judge lest you be judged because, with the measure you measure, it will be measured back to you again” (Matt 7:12). Don’t stick your nose in another person’s business. Be careful what you say about others. Use impersonal love. This is the...

Reversionism (2012) 29.03.2024

A Christian who stays out of fellowship with God, who backslides and goes into reversionism, yields to the temptations of the sin nature. This shorts out the protocol plan of God. “They are lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God” (2 Pet 3:4). If you’re in reversionism you can’t grow spiritually. You’ll become hypersensitive and involvement in the cosmic system will lead to a frantic search f...

What's Wrong with America (2012) 28.03.2024

America will not survive much longer if we continue to spurn God and His Word, and not listen to His mandates and warnings. “The fool takes no pleasure in understanding” (Ps 18:12). The chaos we are experiencing is a result of unchecked sin natures. As the Lord looked upon His creation and upon the hearts of man, this is what He said, “Every inclination of the thoughts of their minds was on evil”...

No Need to Worry (2012) 27.03.2024

God mandates ‘No Fear.’ “Do not fear, I am with you” (Is 41:10). Worry is not a way of thinking for a Christian. We must think with a divine viewpoint. Pick up the shield of faith. Stand behind the promises of God. Focus on His solution and not the problem—the solution is to orient and adjust to the plan of God. “Worry in the heart of a man weighs it down, but a good word produces a superabundance...

Money (2012) 25.03.2024

Relax even in the face of adversity knowing God has promised you logistical grace provisions. Faith-rest is a tremendous problem-solving device. “This I recall to mind and therefore I have confidence. It is through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning, great is His faithfulness” (Lam 3:21-23). “Lay up for yourself treasures in heaven”...

Preparation for Disaster (2012) 24.03.2024

Be serious about your Christian life. Learn and live God’s Word to be prepared for the disaster that is coming. “Neither will you be afraid of destruction when it comes” (Job 5:21). Acquiring the mind of Christ will give you a stable mind. Applying it brings a relaxed mental attitude. God will provide your logistical daily needs. This is a divine promise. “Seek first the kingdom of...

Growing Up Spiritually (2012) 23.03.2024

The spiritually mature believer can live his life as unto the Lord and not as unto man. “Whatever you do, do it from your soul as unto the Lord and not unto man” (Col 3:23). You grow to spiritual maturity by coming to understand God’s plan and consistently functioning in it. You get to know God through Christ and understand God through the ministry of the Holy Spirit and Scripture as enlightened b...

Spirituality and Maturity (2012) 22.03.2024

Spirituality is absolute. You are either filled with the Holy Spirit or you are in carnality controlled by your sin nature. Spirituality is related to the filling of the Holy Spirit. Spiritual maturity is related to the content of the Word of God in your soul. Maturity is relative. To glorify God in this life you need to grow up spiritually. In maturity you have a maximum application of God’s Word...

True Spirituality (2012) 21.03.2024

Your spiritual life is the anchor that holds your country together. As God blesses you, the blessings overflow into the lives of others in your periphery. Spirituality is a relationship with God the Holy Spirit. Spirituality is absolute. You are either in fellowship controlled by the Holy Spirit or in carnality controlled by the sin nature. “For if you live after the flesh you will die. But if you...

Simply Put, Part 2 (2012) 20.03.2024

Spiritual growth is a lifelong process. You don’t graduate from the Christian life. You must keep plugging. Emotions will not carry you. “As a man thinks in his heart so he is” (Prov 23:7). You grow from learning the mechanics of the Christian life from the teaching of the Word of God. The key to growing is staying under the control of the Holy Spirit, not your sin nature. “Reason you also yoursel...

Simply Put, Part 1 (2012) 18.03.2024

To win in the Christian life you need to understand what the will of God is for your life. God commands you to study His Word and grow spiritually. “I am looking for those who know Me and understand Me” (Jer 9:23). We worship God by staying filled with the Holy Spirit and learning and applying the truth of the Word of God in our lives. “Those who worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth...

America's Future, Part 2 (2012) 17.03.2024

Your values must come from the Bible. Your trust must be in the Lord. “It is better to trust in the Lord than to put your confidence in man” (Ps 118:8-9). Nations rise and fall based on the power of God and His plan. The power of Christianity is invisible and spiritual. To be a good Christian you need to stay filled with the Holy Spirit and grow spiritually. “He who gives attention to the Word sha...

America's Future, Part 1 (2012) 16.03.2024

America is in serious trouble. We have put our trust in the strength of man and not God. “Cursed is the man who trusts in man and who makes flesh his strength and whose heart turns away from the Lord” (Jer 17:5). No individual can change the course of our nation. Only we believers can if we prioritize growing to spiritual maturity. We need to put our trust in God, not man. If God is proclaimed, if...

Keep Your Mouth Shut (2012) 15.03.2024

There are many times when you should be laconic—keep your mouth shut. Here are a few reasons. When you are angry or tempted to lie. “A short-tempered person acts stupidly and the person who plots evil is hated” (Prov 14:17). When you are tempted to pervert or twist the truth. Satan is the greatest twister of the truth in the world. Keep your mouth shut when you are tempted to straighten out a fool...

Unanswered Prayers (2012) 14.03.2024

Many of the prayers people make are probably not answered because they are made while out of fellowship with the Holy Spirit. “If I regard inquiry in my heart, the Lord will not hear me.” If you have known sin in your life, the only prayer that’s going to be answered is 1 John 1:9, “If we confess our sin, He is faithful and just to forgive us.” Prayers must be offered in faith. “All things whatsoe...

The Voice of Truth (2012) 13.03.2024

God is the voice of truth. He speaks to you through His Word, the Bible. “It is alive and powerful” (Heb 4:12). You have the shared power of God when you combine the power of the Holy Spirit living in you and the power of the Word of God. There are voices that you should not listen too. “Let no man deceive you with vain words” (Eph 5:6). Vain words are empty words void of truth. This is human view...

Mission Unto Death (2012) 11.03.2024

Your mission unto death (until you depart this life) is to lift up Christ. Tell the generations to come who He is, what He’s accomplished, and what He provides. Knowledge is understanding the Word of God, learning the protocol plan of God and how it works, and being victorious in this angelic conflict. “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Since you rejected knowledge, I will reject you”...

A Divine Pardon, Part 7 (2012) 10.03.2024

God offers you a divine pardon from spending eternity in the Lake of Fire. “He that believes not, the wrath of God abides on him already” (John 3:36). We are all born spiritually dead and those who have not accepted God’s divine pardon by means of faith in the work of Jesus Christ remain dead. You need to be born again by accepting God’s divine pardon, accepting Jesus Christ as your Savior to have...

A Divine Pardon, Part 6 (2012) 09.03.2024

Christianity has nothing to do with emotion. Living the Christian life is about thinking. Only the knowledge of God’s Word in your soul will sustain you during life’s ups and downs. “Let this mind be in you that was also in Christ Jesus” (Phil 2:5). As you renovate your thinking you see life through a divine viewpoint rather than an emotional human viewpoint. “Do not be conformed to this world but...

A Divine Pardon, Part 5 (2012) 08.03.2024

You have a divine pardon from God. Take it! “Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Rom 10:13). You can have a wonderfully bright future through learning and living God’s plan for you. Jesus Christ knew His mission was to die on the cross. Through His finished work on the cross, our salvation is guaranteed. “He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, eve...

A Divine Pardon, Part 4 (2012) 07.03.2024

God disciplines us to get our attention. He does it from His love, not anger. The purpose of discipline is to wake us up to name our sins and get us back in His plan. He disciplines us to prevent us from self-destructing. “The evil deeds of a wicked man ensnare him, and the cords of his sin hold him fast” (Prov 5:22). When you are under God’s divine discipline you can do two things. You can respon...

A Divine Pardon, Part 3 (2012) 06.03.2024

Jesus Christ died for all humanity. God never discriminates. When we receive Christ as our Savior, we are given His righteousness and we are brought into the royal family of God. “The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are the children of God and if children then heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ” (Rom 8:16-17). Jesus Christ guarantees you two things: He will never leave y...

A Divine Pardon, Part 2 (2012) 04.03.2024

The divine pardon of salvation is available to each of us because of God’s unfailing love for us. “For God so loved the world He gave His uniquely born Son so that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). Through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, we are not only freed from eternal separation from God, that’s our pardon, but our sins, our debts are forgiven forev...

A Divine Pardon, Part 1 (2012) 03.03.2024

A divine pardon removes you from the penalty of going to hell. It is available to you, to all mankind, based on the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross. Simply “Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved” (Acts 16:31). Jesus Christ granted a divine pardon to a criminal being crucified next to Him on the cross who recognized He was his Lord and Savior. Our Lord told this criminal...
