RICHARD'S RECOMMENDATIONS

Bridgette Adams

Having met Richard in a social situation, I was immediately drawn to his warm and generous personality.  I then began to see him in ministry and watched carefully to see if he walked in love and what kind of fruit he bore.  In my experience with Richard in counseling and group prayer, he has always yielded himself to the Lord.  He has been gentle and respectful.  The ministry of his counsel has brought me into a deeper understanding of myself and has brought me closer to the Lord.  I would recommend him highly.

Sincerely,

I really have been cynical about the role of spiritual discernment in the modern church.
I am glad I had no idea or expectation concerning my time with Richard. I would have probably been tied up in knots or maybe would even have chickened out on coming. I don’t know but I have felt so good since Saturday!
I have felt much more confidence, and it is not necessarily self-confidence. It is confidence in God's love and approval for me. Confidence in His provision for my family and me. We are going to make it!

I have known Richard for over 1 year.  During this year he has ministered to me using his spiritual gifts as well as his insightful counseling knowledge and skills.
In counseling, he has always demonstrated strong professional boundaries and manners, clearly defining goals and expectations for both parties. 
In ministry, he has compassionately offered to me God’s love.  The Holy Spirit has used him to bring light and clarity to areas of my soul where I was blinded by lies and emotionally anesthetized by them.  It has been through the Holy Spirit’s superb blending of counseling and spiritual giftedness in Richard, which has brought insight and freedom in demolishing strongholds in my life. I have been in lay ministry for the past 4 years working in the area of emotional healing.  Being aware of the unresolved issues in my life and still ministering to others became burdensome. I am thankful for the ministry God has given Richard and I rejoice in being able to receive anointed, God led counseling and ministry.  
Because of his sensitivity to the Holy Spirit and understanding of the Father’s Love, I highly recommend Richard Kinney’s ministry and counseling.

I enjoyed the Friday night teaching/ministry time and the counseling time with Richard at Church. I would like to talk with Richard about additional counseling sessions.  I think you and Richard have a lot to offer people in the area of counseling/healing. I value very highly someone who can provide solid counseling (understanding of people, effects of sin, how God works, and providing help that leads people into freedom) coupled with hearing easily and clearly from God. I've been to a good counselor but I appreciate so much more the good counsel combined with words and power and ability to set free.  Thank you for coming to North Carolina with all the snow. I certainly enjoyed the seminar and look forward to your next one. Thank you for connecting me with Richard.

I met Richard Kinney years ago and I did not quite know what to make of him and Nancy at that time.  They were so different than many of the Christians I had met before.  They were happier, and seemed much more real and unrestrained. One thing I found so different about them is that they had a powerful ministry.  I noticed that people who counseled with them were healed dramatically.  Working with them, I found that for the first time in my life I had the ability to change and grow in the Lord in ways I had not been able to achieve in my whole life.  The thing about Richard is that he lives and teaches a no-nonsense, and practical, Christianity.
Richard taught me to follow Christ without being stepped on.  Through talking with Richard, I learned how to give up much of my legalistic thinking and to live and breathe a real spiritual life.  Now I find that people treat me with more respect in both personal and business situations, and I am able to receive the Lord's love much more freely.
Richard also helped me with my work life.  Following his advice I was awarded a promotion at work, although I was in a very competitive environment.
I asked Richard to talk with my 17 year old son on many occasions, which has led to his increasing confidence and self respect. I have come to have a deep respect and love for both Richard and Nancy, and I highly recommend them to anyone seeking to grow and mature spiritually.

I am writing this letter to personally endorse the work of Richard Kinney. I have been in the professional counseling arena for six years and have found his insight, counsel, and spiritual ministry extremely helpful, both professionally and personally.  Professionally, I have better learned to hear from God through Richard's teaching and counsel. This has resulted in a richer, more spiritual journey for me. It has also aided me as a counselor as I am better able to walk by the Spirit with clients. This new sensitivity has resulted in me being a better counselor.  Personally, the Lord used Richard to bring freedom and life in an area where I had struggled for nine years. I had received wise counsel and freedom at the hand of other Christian counselors and ministries but this particular area remained untouched and continued to be a large stronghold in my life. I was grateful to God that He led me to Richard and for the gentle ways that God brought healing. Richard and I worked together for a year and three months and the Lord did a thorough healing in an area that has in turn brought more life and abundance in my marriage and the ways I relate to others. I think, most importantly the work we did brought a deeper communion and intimacy with God. For this, I will be forever grateful.
