The FLOT Line Show

The FLOT Line Show

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.

To reach spiritual maturity, the Christian must contain emotions. The Christian life is lived through thought, not emotions. “Let this mind be in you that was also in Christ Jesus” (Phil 2:5).  If you let your emotions control you, you will lose your direction and be held hostage to fear and intimidation. You go through a lot of pain and suffering because you let your emotions control you. “As a man thinks in his heart, so he is” (...

God wants to make you rich spiritually, to give you a wonderful, meaningful, full life. You have a personal guide for life—God. Go to the Word under the filling of the Holy Spirit and in prayer acknowledge God and He will direct you...

As a Christian, you are never alone in facing the difficulties of life and time. Jesus Christ controls history. There’s never a reason for you to be lonely or afraid. “Perfect love casts out fear” (1 John 4:18). This is the secret to handling fear and anxiety. The believer who loves God will be obedient to His mandates. “Fear not for I am with you. Do not be dismayed for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. I...

Be encouraged to re-present Christ to your family and friends, face whatever comes and glorify God to the maximum. Being a fool for Christ means you are dedicated to your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and His will for your life. “We are fools on account of Christ” (1 Cor 4:10). You have an unwavering devotion to Him. “You have been bought for a price, therefore glorify God in your body” (1 Cor 6:20). You are determined to finish the...

No one can gain eternal favor from God by means of their holy lifestyle or clean living. “But as He who has called you is holy, so be you holy in all manner of conversation” (1 Pet 1:15). You are holy in your position in Christ Jesus. When you are filled with the Holy Spirit you are living a holy life. Your advance to spiritual maturity, the holiness you want to attain, is a gradual process only attained by studying under a well-qu...

God’s plan is not for you to be discouraged in times like these. Here’s what God says, “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, ‘plans for welfare and not for calamity, to give you a future and a hope’” (Jer 29:11). “Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation and be constant in prayer” (Rom 12:12). It’s not an elected leader who can turn around the course of history. It’s only you and your spiritual life. You must u...

Our salvation is secured by faith. “Having been justified by faith [not works] we have peace with God through the Lord Jesus Christ” (Rom 5:1). Faith is trust in God and His Word. The more of the Word of God you know, the more resources of faith you have. “We walk by faith and not by sight” (2 Cor 5:7).  If you want to live by faith, you must exercise your faith and this develops it. Learning and applying God’s Word is how you do i...

God expects you to get up after a mistake and keep driving ahead. Let go of past mistakes and failures. "Forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus” (Phil 3:13-14). Remorse is not sinful but when it turns into guilt it changes to sin. Guilt is part of the emotional complex of sins. Guilt motivates many failures in the spirit...

You are the solution to the problems in this nation, not the President or Congress. Fulfilling the unique spiritual life God gives you is the primary factor in history. “Let him that glories glory in this, that he understands and knows Me” (Jer 9:23-24). There is a FOG across this nation. Failure of spiritual leadership, open rebellion in the streets to the rule of law and God’s Word rejected and ignored. If we continue to go down ...

If you don’t have a fantastic life, it’s your own fault. Happiness is a state of the soul. The secret to happiness is learning and applying God’s Word in your life and advancing to spiritual maturity. “Happiness belongs to those who hear My Father’s Word and keep it” (Luke 11:28). God’s happiness, true happiness, the tranquility of soul, a relaxed mental attitude, and perfect contentment can be yours but only if you establish a FLO...

The big lie of the cosmic system is that people and circumstances will make you happy. The cosmic system creates doubt and confusion. If you doubt, the first thing you’re going to doubt is God’s Word and you’re going to get confused, especially if you’re listening to the wrong pastor. The cosmic system stirs up chaos. We call it the FOG - failure of spiritual leadership, open rebellion against God and rejection of God’s Word. “Stop...

Disobedience to God’s rules leads to rebellion and ruin - personally and for a nation. The one stabilizing factor that steadies the ship and calms the storm is always authority. There has to be an authority and this establishes the rules we live under. “Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities” (Rom 13:1). This is a divine mandate, a rule. The fool rejects God’s Word and this is rebellion. “For the ways of the naive wil...

Christians are peculiar people because we have different mindsets and particular callings. We don’t think as the world thinks but instead with a divine viewpoint, thinking with the mind of Christ. “Be not conformed to this world” (Rom 12:1). Divine viewpoint gives Christians understanding, insight and discernment. Christians don’t fear death. “For to me, living is Christ and dying is gain” (Phil 1:21). What makes us peculiar is our...

As a Christian, you are in the royal family of God. You are in full-time royal service for the Lord as both a believer priest and a royal ambassador. “You are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood” (1 Pet 2:9). With the royal priesthood we represent ourselves and with the royal ambassadorship we represent God to all mankind. All distinctions are erased at the point of salvation. We are all one in Christ. Divine power in the royal...

A lazy believer is not willing to put forth the effort required to reach spiritual maturity. You must see your own spiritual malnutrition. “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge” (Hosea 4:6). God wants you to grow up to be spiritually strong and healthy re-presenting the Lord Jesus Christ. This is a mandate from God. “Study to show yourself approved unto God” (2 Tim 2:15).  Knowing God is not the same thing as understanding...

Satan is infiltrating churches and schools as a means to shut down client nation America. Many Christians are accepting being dumbed down. Satan is successfully planting his own ministers in churches to teach his doctrines.
