Over the next few days, there will be many gifts purchased and placed under the Christmas tree because this is the season for giving gifts! But God has already given us the GIFT OF GIFTS and that is HIS SON JESUS CHRIST! When we accepted His gift, we received eternal life.

 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not parish, but have everlasting life"(John 3:16).

At this time of the year we celebrate the gift of the BABY JESUS; who became JESUS OF NAZARETH; who went about doing good; who became THE LAMB OF GOD; who takes away the sin of the world; who became THE RESURRECTED CHRIST; who became THE ASCENDED LORD; who sits at THE FATHER'S RIGHT HAND; who always prays for US!

I Think about all the gifts given and received this year, I'm reminded of the GIFTS Jesus has given to all believers, if we will open the packages and receive them, the GIFT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, the GIFT OF HEALING, the GIFT OF PEACE, the GIFT OF ABUNDANT LIFE, just to mention a few that God told us about in HIS WORD! When we come to the throne of God, we should be like little ones at Christmas time; we should dive into our packages and find the GIFTS NEEDED at that moment. We should tear off the wrapping paper and begin to enjoy the wonderful gifts our Heavenly Father has given to us, HIS CHILDREN!!!

Have a wonderful Christmas,

LOVE YA.. 

“Be on alert, for you do not know which day your Lord is coming, if the head of the house had known at what time of the night the thief was coming, he would have been on the alert and would not have allowed his house to be broken into." (MATTHEW 24:42&43 NIV).

Today millions of young people allow their lives to be caught up in many kinds of distractions. Gossip at school or work, sins of others, excesses of the world, parties, girlfriends, who's doing whatever, lifestyles of the rich and famous. In strong terms JESUS warned us of these dangers of distractions: Our spiritual lives can be "choked with worries and riches and pleasures of this life" (LUKE 8:13&14). We need to be on the alert, remembering that our time on earth is short. We must be READY to face ETERNITY, ready for the coming of the LORD! Don't allow DISTRACTIONS to dominate your life! KEEP YOUR EYES ON JESUS! SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD! STAY ALERT, FOCUSED, and VIGILANT!...

Father, give us Your perspective on life, help us to focus on accomplishing the assignments You've given us. We seek Your Kingdom first, In Jesus Name. AMEN

Love Ya

Thanksgiving Day is upon us again, and I want to remind you how much we have to be thankful for. Take a minute, to remind our Father how thankful you are for everything. The Bible says to:

 "BE YE THANKFUL" (Col.3:15).

“In everything give THANKS" (1 Thess.5:18)

“Enter His gates with THANKSGIVING In your heart." (Psalm 100:4)

“Give sacrifices of THANKSGIVING" (Psalm 107:220)

“THANKSGIVING unto the Father" (COL.1:12)

“When you have eaten and are full, you will bless (BE THANKFUL) to the Lord (DEUT.8:10)

Have a wonderful THANKSGIVING, Be ye thankful, FROM THE HEART!

Love Ya....See you next month.

"Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone's chains were loosed". (ACTS 16:26).

Wow what a story this is we read in Acts! Paul and Silas were giving thanks to God. We must give God praise and Thanks Giving before we see actual victory. Thanksgiving is a powerful weapon of warfare! Spiritual chains can be broken, spiritual doors can be opened. All of us have something in our lives that needs to be SHAKEN loose or opened up !This month we celebrate Thanks Giving, it is a yearly holiday set aside to express our gratitude to God for His faithfulness and provision.. Let’s make it a daily tradition, make every day Thanksgiving! Philippians 4:6 says to give thanks IN EVERYTHING! Caused any earthquakes lately with your THANKS GIVING TO GOD? I believe we can if we start today and do it with all our heart! Something incredible can happen when we begin to sing and praise God with THANKS GIVING IN OUR HEART.

I Love you all, I give thanks for you all.

"Fire can either purify or destroy. Our world is on fire, and a man without God will never be able to control the flames. The demons of hell have been let loose. The fires of passion, greed, hate, and lust are sweeping the world. We seem to be plunging madly toward Armageddon. This is the generation that will pass through the fire. It is the generation 'under the gun.' This is the tormented generation. This is the generation destined to live in the midst of crisis, danger, fear, and death. We are like a people under sentence of death, waiting for the date to be set. We sense that something is about to happen. We know that things cannot go on as they are. History has reached an impasse. We are now on a collision course. Something is about to give. The flames are licking all around our world the roof is about to cave in, man is caught in a fire raging out of control". Rev. BILLY GRAHAM...God is SHAKING all nations (Hag. 2:7).

We are so close now to THE END of the age that the prophetic time clock is only seconds away from MIDNIGHT! The BEGINNING of the END is upon us.

As the prophet declared, "After two days He will REVIVE US; in the third day He will RAISE US UP, and we shall live in His sight" (Hos. 6:2).

One day is with the Lord as a thousand years (2 Pet. 3:8).

It has been over two-thousand years since the death and resurrection of Christ. Therefore it is time for the GREATEST REVIVAL the planet earth has ever experienced to come from heaven. This final move of God's Spirit will sweep throughout the world as God gives humanity one last chance to repent. Immediately after the final soul repents and turns to Christ, the Church will be TAKEN AWAY to be with the Lord where we the people of God will LIVE IN HIS SIGHT. The FIRE of God's Spirit is coming! Don't resist the FIRE. It doesn't come to harm, but rather to help you. The habitual sins that we commit can only be burned away by the FIRE of God's Spirit. To resist the FIRE of the HOLY GHOST is to embrace the FIRES of HELL which seek to forever BURN you. The DEVIL'S FIRE destroys. GOD'S FIRE SAVES,A decision must be made by you which FIRE you will choose.

YOU have to make that decision. To make no decision at all is to be carried further toward HELL FIRE. Never forget, if you play with FIRE, you're going to get BURNED. It is imperative that you take God and this message seriously. HOLY GHOST FIRE or HELL FIRE......

Love

The world is full of so-called prayer warriors who are prayer-ignorant. They're full of formulas, programs and advice, peddling techniques for getting what you want from God. Don't fall for that nonsense. This is your Father you are dealing with, and he knows better than you what you need. With a God like this loving you, you can pray very simply.

Like this: "Our Father in heaven, Reveal who you are.Set the world right; Do what's best as above, so below.
Keep us alive with three square meals. Keep us forgiven with you and forgiving others. Keep us safe from ourselves and the Devil. You're in charge! You can do anything you want! You're ablaze in beauty"! Yes. Yes. Yes. 
Matthew 6:7-13(MSG).

When we pray this prayer, we put our lives in His hands, then we know inner peace. Day to day, we will know GOD LOVES us and cares for us as individuals. We must PRAISE, PRAY, PURSUE and God will PROVIDE PEACE in our HEART. God our Father will become your closest FRIEND, your PRAYERS will start being ANSWERED, HALLELUJAH!!

Lord teach us to pray, DAY TO DAY!! And your life will truly CHANGE.

AMEN

LOVE

Some people try to operate faith out of their heads instead of their HEARTS..

A certain minister friend of mine said, "faith confessions don't work". He said, "I confessed 300 times in one day, I had a new car, and didn't get it".

It's obvious that all he had was head knowledge and didn't understand faith. Just because a person believes the bible is true does not mean the promises are going to be true in his or her life. They must develop faith regarding each promise!! It is impossible to have great faith for an automobile if you can't even believe God for a pair of shoelaces!! Faith comes by hearing and hearing the Word of God (Romans10:17).

If you wont pick up your bible and read it or you won't come to church, how is faith going to come!! Did you know the Bible also reads, without faith it is impossible to please God (Hebrews11:6). Faith takes time to develop, it does not come over night. You must start where you are, and love is the first step in your faith developing.

Love never fails, and faith works by love (1 Corinthians 13:8 & Galatians 5:6). Faith grows in your heart, not in your head. Head knowledge is good but won't produce FAITH. Heart faith is what pleases God and will cause circumstances to change. The Word is near you, even in your mouth and in your heart (Romans10:8). Hearing yourself SPEAK GODS WORD deposits it in your HEART!! Build up your faith in your heart, then you will have Heart Faith.

Love You

2 Corinthians 13:5

"Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves"

Life on earth is short. Psalm 103:15-16 states:

"A persons days are like grass, as a flower of the field, so he flourishes. The wind passes over it, it is gone, and its place remembers it no more"

Even if you live to be a 100 years, that's nothing compared to ETERNITY. Most people pay little attention to preparing for heaven, they are more worried about the cares of everyday life. What about ETERNITY? If you ask the average person, "are you going to HEAVEN?" most will say "Yes". Know this my friends, HEAVEN is NOT our DEFAULT DESTINATION! People don't go there just because they have LIVED A GOOD LIFE. Have you ever been to a funeral where everyone comforts each other that the deceased person is IN A BETTER PLACE? WHAT IF that person who died NEVER TRUSTED JESUS AS LORD & SAVIOR!! That's why we must EXAMINE OURSELVES.

In the 2 CORINTHIANS, the verse from above, Paul was writing to church people, they THOUGHT that good deeds and going to youth service was enough to get them to HEAVEN. NOT SO!! That's why Paul WARNED "EXAMINE YOURSELVES!"

Jesus said in MATTHEW 7:21-23 

"Not everyone who says LORD,LORD,will get into HEAVEN",why you say, it is clear, "He WHO DOES THE FATHER'S WILL, He will say I NEVER KNEW YOU", read it!

You have to know HIM as LORD & SAVIOR! Just going to church, doing good alone won't get you to HEAVEN!! However, those who will COME to the LORD right NOW, confess with your mouth, that JESUS is LORD, and BELIEVE in your HEART that GOD raised HIM from the DEAD. (Romans 10:9 & 10) 

LIVE for HIM every moment of every DAY, then there's no doubt to WHERE WILL YOU GO!!

Love You

OPEN YOUR SPIRIT EARS AND DON'T MAKE JESUS SICK!

Revelations 3:16

"So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of my mouth"

My young believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, this was written to the lukewarm church. The King of Kings had just told them that he was disgusted by their actions, repulsed by their lack of commitment, completly horrified by their trust in money and worldly lusts. We look at the state of the church today and we often hear it said that this is the age of the Laodiceans, that we are the LUKEWARM CHURCH. DON'T LET THEM BE RIGHT. This verse is often used as a fear tactic, as a prod to get people to "shape up" to "get their act together" and "serve Jesus with all their heart". The full passage has often left us sad and discouraged. However the "full" passage is rarely taught.

Most people leave out Revelations 3:20-22

"Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me. To him who overcomes, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I overcame and sat down with my Father on his throne. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches."

My friends, as I stated above, this was written to the lukewarm church!! This is a message of Hope! This is a promise of redemption. Read the promise; we who are in union with Jesus will sit with him on His Throne. We who are in union with Jesus are the ones who have an Ear to Hear!

It is our honour and our passion to share the message of hope spoken to the churchse by our Lord. We can run to them and say, Blessed is the Name of the one who takes away the sings of the world. He was looking at us and he was wanting to vomit because we said we loved him but our actions denied Him! There's still hope. He's still knocking. We can still overcome!

Do we love the church enough to stand up for the truth? Do you know that one person can make a difference? We must live our lives knowing that we are the vision of God. We are all examples of the love of Jesus Christ. Do we lovve the Body of Christ enough to let God speak through us?

Open your ears and let Jesus tell you waht to do next.

Jesus loves you and so do I

David

There is nothing better than being in the right place at the right time! God has a plan, a great purpose for your life, no matter what someone might tell you and no matter what you are doing now. The talents, gifts and abilities God has given you will help you accomplish that purpose. You don't have to be called into the ministry to be effective in the Kingdom of God! Be obedient where you are now.

There are seasons to come in your life to prepare you to do the job God has for you! There are seasons of knowledge, seasons of maturity, and experiences you have to fulfull before God's Ultimate Plan for you can come to pass. Don't slow it down by rebelling, or trying to do it yourseld. Don't think you have missed God if you have rebelled or committed sin. Just repent, ask God to forgive you. He will, and then keep going forward!! God can overcome your mistakes. there is never a Plan "B" with God. Only Plan "A".

Proverbs 16:3 says

"Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed."

If you are committed to God, He will cause your thoughts to become agreeable with His will for your life. That is soooo cool! When it is your time, God will do it. We should never jump ahead or lag behind. The joy in serving God comes as we find ourselves in the right place at the right time.

Hallelujah

"But if you abide (remain) in me and my words (remain) in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted! When you produce much fruit, you are my true disciples. This brings great glory to my Father."
John 15:7-8

The Word MUST remain (abide) in you for you to bear fruit and glorify God. John 14:23 says, "If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him." If you Love Jesus, you will keep His Word in you. You are the temple of the Holy Spirit. Your human spirit also lives with the Holy Spirit inside you!! In these last days we are living in, we NEED DIRECTION of the Holy Spirit in every decision we make.

To many of us are saying the wrong things like, "I am having shuch a bad day" or "I just don't know what to do." Even things such as "Nothing seems to ever go my way", WAAAAAA, STOP CRYING ABOUT EVERYTHING, and let God's Word abide in you by reading and studing His Word. You will start saying the right things, the things that God says!!

There are people listening to what you say, they can tell if Gods Word abides in you. You could say they are "fruit inspectors." So make sure your fruit tree is producing God abiding fruit. Someone is always inspecting your fruit.

I love you,

Fruit Inspector

We have been given the authority to use the Name of Jesus. There is power in that name because of the Name of Jesus every knee must bow (Phil. 2:10). the "red dude with the attitude," that's the devil I'm talking about, understands and trembles at the mention of that Name. The power behind the Name of Jesus is the blood that was shed on the Cross. We can overcome any situation because we have the power of the blood of Jesus behind our authority to speak the Name of Jesus! We can triumph over the "red dude with the attitude" because Jesus did it first. All of Jesus'  power is in His Name, and He has authorized believers to use His Name (John 14:13-14). The devil knows he must bow to THE GREATEST NAME EVER! Be a Mighty, a Mighty man or women of God by exercising the Greatest Name, THE NAME OF JESUS. Don't be an average joe and let "the red dude with the attitude" beat you up! Let us Rise Up, O Mighty Men and Women of God, and put the devil under our feet with the Greatest Name, the Name Of Jesus! Hallelujah!!!

Stick that in your briefcase devil!!!

Power of the SPOKEN WORD: Most people don't understand the power of words. Do you realize that the things you are speaking out of your mouth are setting the course of your life? Some words deceive, some words transmit faith. Think about it, the words you speak transmit FAITH or FEAR! So when we are talking about your spoken words, we are talking about things that are POWERFUL ENOUGH TO CHANGE LIVES FOR THE BETTER OR WORSE! You may have heard someone say "What you don't know won't hurt you". The truth is, what you don't know may be what is taking you down the wrong path of life.

Proverbs 18:21 says,

"DEATH and LIFE are in the POWER OF THE TONGUE: and they that LOVE IT SHALL EAT THE FRUIT OF THE WORDS YOU SPEAK!"

The word of God spoken with FAITH RELEASES THE ABILITY OF GOD! WoW! This is what GOD INTEND FOR US!We have the AUTHORITY TO SPEAK GODS WORD! It is time that we give more thought to THE WORDS WE SPEAK. SPEAK ONLY WHAT GOD SPEAKS, NOT YOUR OWN WORDS!! REMEMBER GODS CONSUMING FIRE IS ON THE INSIDE OF YOU, LET IT BURN.

I LOVE YOU

Remember youth camp? Remember the Fire of God you brought home with you? Wow! That was amazing you say. That is the power, the presence, the anointing of Gods Holy Spirit. You knew you could get anyone saved, you knew if there was any sick among you, you would lay your hands on them and they would be healed!! There is nothing impossible to you with the Holy Spirit Fire burning on the inside of you!

Now you may be asking yourself, how do I keep this Fire? How do I get the Fire back? There is a price you must pay my friends. A price!! "Well how much does it cost?, you say. It will cost you the time of your life!

Acts 4:13 
"When they (church people) saw the boldness (Fire of God) on Peter & John, and they realized they were CHURCH PEOPLE just like them, they were AMAZED and TOOK NOTICE, that these GUYS HAD BEEN WITH JESUS."

There's the cost, time spent with Jesus, time spent in the Word. JESUS IS THE WORD OF GOD. It takes time spent in Prayer and Fellowship with Jesus. Time in Prayer and the Word will FIRE YOU UP!

Are you ready to pay the price? Have you been with Jesus?
