Pastor Pierre Bennett: Making Christ the Lord of Your Life

Pastor Pierre Bennett founded God’s Luv International Ministries Church, which has two weekly services in Virginia. Through his church and his LifeSource Foundation, Pastor Pierre Bennett seeks to fulfill a vision of worldwide ministry of care. LifeSource Foundation is committed to bringing academic enrichment, prevention, and intervention programs to those in need.

Pastor Pierre Bennett, explaining the bounty of God’s love for us, compares Him to the rich uncle in a family. If you go to dinner with that rich uncle, Pastor Pierre Bennett says, the rich uncle will be the one who pays. The rich uncle has been blessed with great riches, so he would be expected to pay. Pastor Pierre Bennett compares the Lord to that rich uncle.

God is King of everything, Pastor Pierre Bennett describes, and as such He will return what you give to Him – but multiplied. When you give something to God   He gives it back to you, perfected. Everything He returns to you will be blessed with His miraculous Spirit, Pastor Pierre Bennett adds.

To further explain this idea of God’s blessing, Pastor Pierre Bennett uses currency as an example. If you give God a dollar, says Pastor Pierre Bennett, He will wring out everything that is impure and return it to you. But first there may be a period where you think that dollar bill won’t be returned, Pastor Pierre Bennett states. When you finally get that dollar bill back, it will be multiplied. So you should think of anything you give God as a seed or deposit. It may not be in the exact time you expect or want, but when you do receive what you have requested, it will be multiplied, assures Pastor Pierre Bennett.

So then, if Christ gives more back to His followers, what must He get from God? The answer, Pastor Pierre Bennett says, is eternal life. Christ was eternal before He came to mankind, before He was human, so the ultimate gift, according to Pastor Pierre Bennett, is eternal life for all of those He loves.

What’s amazing about all of this, Pastor Pierre Bennett points out, is that God has so much love for us. All we have to do is believe. Christ came down to illustrate what we needed to do to get that salvation, showing us by His example, Pastor Pierre Bennett explains. By following Christ’s example, concludes Pastor Bennett, we can also have salvation.

Ian Woodman: Memorable Holidays [Disney World]

In 2010, Ian Woodman made a promise to his family and close friends when he entered in a contest to predict the winner of the NCAA Basketball Championship. That promise was that if he won, he’d take everyone to Disney World with his winnings. While many people might make such promises, Ian Woodman is a man of his word. In February 2011, he took 17 people to Disney World, paying airfare, hotel, park admission, and all expenses while they were in Orlando.

What resulted was a trip Ian Woodman still fondly recalls today. The friends shared one rental house, which allowed them to reminisce about the game that afforded Ian Woodman the opportunity to win the trip. For two weeks, Ian Woodman and those close to him stayed in Orlando, visiting the different amusement parks and having a great time.

Disney World is the most visited theme park in the world. Its four theme parks include the Magic Kingdom, Epcot Center, Disney-MGM Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Other amusement parks in the Orlando area allow visitors like Ian Woodman to stay busy during a trip to the area. In addition to world famous Universal Studios, Universal’s Islands of Adventure is also located in the area, according to Ian Woodman. For a group of 17, a trip to Orlando is a trip of a lifetime, Ian Woodman points out.

Due to the ticket prices of Orlando’s theme parks—Disney World’s Magic Kingdom admission is currently $90 a day—Ian Woodman acknowledges that Disney World is an expensive trip for many people. Ian Woodman was glad he could provide such a great vacation to those he cared about, knowing it was a trip that many were unable to easily afford. By using his winnings to fund such a large trip, not only was Ian Woodman able to create beautiful memories for himself and his family, but he was able to share those memories with those closest to him.

A trip to Disney is a landmark event for many children, creating a childhood memory that is often cherished for life. As such, many parents, like Ian Woodman, know the value of a trip to Disney World to the younger generations. Ian Woodman explains that Disney World occupies more than 30,000 acres slightly southwest of Orlando. In addition to its theme parks, Ian Woodman says, Disney World also includes two water parks and 23 resorts on site, each with a different theme.

Yet today, Ian Woodman says he and those closest to him consider the two weeks they spent at Disney World the best vacation they ever had. That alone is enough to make Ian Woodman glad he spent his winnings to treat his loved ones.

Incredible Discoveries: Bill, please tell Incredible Discoveries viewers what exactly is in the system?

Bronchick: The Sold System covers everything you need to get your house sold quickly.  It covers how to prepare your home, how to get it looking beautiful so it sells quickly, how to price it right so it sells, and most importantly, how to get from contract through closing. I walk you through all the steps from A to Z, including sample legal forms, so you can get that check cashed.

Incredible Discoveries: You know, it’s interesting you mentioned the legal forms, because not only are you an extraordinarily successful real estate investor, but you are also a real estate attorney. And it’s that perspective that helps people get their house closed and sold.

Bronchick: I give a 360° complete view of if as both an investor and as an individual, so people get all the perspectives and can get their house sold and closed. We keep seeing this downward trend, hearing the doom and gloom on the news.  Yet, none of this seems to affect the Sold System. The Sold System works because it is different from what everyone else does.  Everyone is dooming and glooming.  You cannot just focus on what does not work; you have to focus on what does work, and my Sold System does work.

It’s almost a mindset that you are putting yourself in to.  Of course, you will have to do a couple of things here and there, but it is really about changing your mind.

Incredible Discoveries:  Absolutely, you have to believe that this is going to work for you and give it one hundred percent for it to work. Now, are there differences on how the system would work from one market to another?

Bronchick: The System works in every market because there are core principles that I give you that apply no matter whether you are in Los Angeles, Dallas, Miami or New York.  There are core principles you must apply to make the system work.  You can adapt the principles for your market, but you have to use the principles in my Sold System to get your house sold.

Incredible Discoveries: OK, now what if you have a house that is worth a hundred grand and somebody else has one that’s worth a million, there has got to be differences in the way you approach the sale?

Bronchick: In my Sold System, I teach people how to evaluate your home, and how to specifically price it.  It may not be the appraisal. You have to go and do your research, and in my Sold System, I show you exactly what to do to get that research to make sure your house is priced, so it sells quickly. Usually, the first offer will come in less than thirty days.
