"Keep it Real"

Hello, my name is Phony. I am not what I appear to be nor what I say I am because my name defines me. I am an environmentalist, my actions and words are dictated by whatever environment I am in because I become what I'm around. I wear my church perfume on Sunday but by Monday it's just a faded memory. I am just a perception, I am not real because I am Phony!!! I can become whatever I need to be to suit the moment. In the end I am nothing because I am constantly changing to be someone I'm not.....

Chosen by God!!

"But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:"(1Peter 2:9)

God chose you to shew forth praises of Him because He brought you from darkness to Light. You may not be where you are going but Praise be unto God you can now see the way. Just keep walking in His path He has designed especially for you because He has great plans for your life!!!!

"WHATSOEVER HE SAITH"

I AM BLESSED!! Just say it and say it in faith long enough, then you will begin to see it manifested in your everyday life.

"And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
For verily I say unto you, That WHOSOEVER SHALL SAY unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things WHICH HE SAITH shall come to pass; he shall have WHATSOEVER HE SAITH."Mark 11:22-23)

"More"

"But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew."(Exodus 1:12a)

"They multiplied and grew". I'm glad the Bible is a sure Word of prophesy that describes my future. I'm thrilled about the fact that "If God be for us, who can be against us". It doesn't say that people won't come against us or criticize us, it just won't do them any good. In spite of whatever comes against us we will multiply and grow!! "The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways."(Deuteronomy 28:7) It really doesn't matter who or what comes against you, it's just a matter of time until you are delivered from whatever or whomever satan is using to annoy you. I find it amazing that the more this verse comes true in my life, the more the devil is annoyed. There are several things you can count on, one of them is human nature. Human nature is basically a fleshly religious system in itself. Adam and Eve were religious in their behavioral patterns and there was no religion, no churches, no preachers, etc... The one thing you can do that you won't be forgiven for, by people, is be blessed and successful in your ministry or life or anything for that matter. People will forgive you for every sin in the book but don't dare be successful at what you do. The more bricks the Israelites made, the more it disturbed the taskmasters of their bondage. God doesn't want us to fail, He wants us to accomplish His purpose in the earth, which with His blessings we can. We the People of God are growing, multiplying and His Kingdom is spreading all over the world. God loved the world and gave His Son, Jesus Christ for it, He has plans for you. The more the prison system pressed down on God's people in the book of Exodus, the more they expanded on the horizon. I would strongly suggest that you not afflict any one simply because you don't understand them or because of your jealousy of them because the more you do, the more God will bless them. The afflictions of the taskmasters just caused God's people to flourish, your criticism is just like throwing gas on a fire. God comes the aid of His Anointed and Blesses them whether you approve or not. "The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee."(Deuteronomy 28:8). Blessed we are and Blessed we shall be!!!

"How to get depressed and stay that way!!!"

Just watch the news and that should do it..... However there is a more accurate source of information concerning our future!! Its called the Word of God, I strongly suggest you read it.

"Hurting on the inside?"

There is no hurt like a hurt from a "friend"! Our friend base can be found is various places in our lives. We can have a relationship in our family that can also be considered our best friend, someone at work or a person we go to church with on Sunday. I think most of you that attend church will agree with me that there is no hurt like a "Church Hurt"! We don't expect the ones we trust to hurt us but they do and when they violate us its not just painful but it is devastating and can bring us to a state of disillusion. An experience like this can cause us to wonder if they were ever really as close to us as we thought, was our relationship that one sided and was I that blind? The truth is, when you love people, you are going to get hurt! I wish I could tell you a different story but it wouldn't be the TRUTH!!! "For God so LOVED the world that He GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON!!!!"

"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to HEAL THE BROKENHEARTED, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,"(Luke 4:18)

Jesus came to "Heal the Brokenhearted", give Him your pain today. He is the only one that can ease your aching heart!!

"Voices"

Be very careful what you allow yourself to hear because it will have an effect on your future. What you mentally process will either have a positive or a negative influence on you. Whatever has an influence on you will bleed over into the lives of those around you!! The people around you are most likely important to you or at least they should be..... What do you have inside you to give to the ones you love?

"BELIEVE in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; BELIEVE his prophets, so shall ye prosper."(2 Chronicles 20:20)

Please find someone that hears from God and listen to them, they will pour blessings into your life!! They will be used by the Holy Spirit to challenge you, shake you, bless you but they will also change you!!!

When boys become Men....

When boys become Men, they act like Men!!!! They lead their families to God, they stand up for what is right and stand against what is wrong. It's easy to play but life is not a game, it is the real thing. Time will tell if you are a boy or a man and as the old man said, "Don't send a boy to do a Man's job!"

"Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit (act) you like men, be strong."(1 Corinthians 16:13). It is what it is, boys!!!

"When the last become first..."

Saturday was a great day in Mississippi football for Mississippi State and Ole Miss, a great day for Mississippi!!! I personally don't have a lot of spare time on my hands to watch sports but I did watch both games in full to support our teams. The last college game I recall watching was live and in person in Starkville, MS in the late 70's when I set one of those cheerleader Pom Pom's on fire but we will save that story for another day!! (Thank God I'm over 40 and it was before smart phones) If I understand my college football adviser, Dr Krista Boyette, State came from unranked to #1 in 22 days, Ole Miss was ranked 18th in preseason and is now #3. That is amazing and I'm always very interested in success stories. We can learn from others if we watch and listen. (If these facts are not correct it's my lack of understanding, not Dr B's lack of game knowledge, trust me) As a Preacher, I call this a "paradigm shift", when things change in a short period of time which causes other dominoes to fall in place. It causes players that are not rated as good as their peers on supposed better teams to be so hungry to play the game that they outplay players that have a higher rating. It's something within that causes you to push past where you were last week. I promise you if we apply this hunger to every area of our life, our lives will change for the better. Stop listening to the people that say you CAN'T and only listen to the "You Can" voices!! You can do all things through Christ strength in you and don't let anyone tell you any different. God can change your rank in just a few days while you can struggle for years to get it done and still fall on your face in fatigue!!

"Redeem the Time"

"Redeem the Time"

Our time here is limited so take what God has put in your hands and make life count!!! The fields are "white unto harvest", in fact billions still need Jesus Christ as their Savior!! I have believed this my entire ministry but I really began to understand it while preaching to very large crowds of people with a great response to accept Jesus as their Savior!! Our ministry in India is growing because 40 Preachers led by the Holy Spirit is going into village after village that have never even heard the Name of Jesus Christ!! They refuse to settle for what they have, they press forward each day for more. They are surrounded by orphans, lepers, poverty, temples to a thousand false gods, muslims, etc... Our ministry simply helps enable them to fulfill their call from God!! God promised that He would pour out His Spirit in the last days and I personally thank God that He has allowed me to have a part in this move of God in the earth!!! I will Bless The Lord at all times!!!!

"A Token for Good for You"

It is the desire of my heart, the cry of my spirit and my prayer before God that each one of you would be blessed with a "Token for Good" today from our Heavenly Father!!! "Shew me a TOKEN FOR GOOD; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted me."(Psalm 86:17). I pray this prayer for you that read our devotions, watch our sermons on the internet and basically enable the Ministry that God has established in our lives! Kari and I are humbled by your friendship. We do not take you for granted and we believe that God's Word teaches that He wants to bless you in every area of your life!!! The Bible teaches that God wants to give you salvation, salvation for your families, peace, protection, promotion and prosperity that will propel you into God's purpose for you. Father, open the "Gates of God" and release tokens for good today on your people right now, In Jesus Name, AMEN!!!

"Sudden Fear"

"Be not afraid of sudden fear;"(Proverbs 3:25)

The words "sudden fear" imply haste and without warning. Some days things come at us so fast that we don't have time to fully comprehend all that's going on, but our emotional man can respond instantaneously with some type of feeling or expression!!! But the things we don't see coming, God sees all of them before they ever get close to us!!! He can be trusted so put your faith in Him. There are many voices in the world today, most of which are filled with hopelessness, fear and panic!!! Please do your best to close your ears to those voices, open your heart to God and speak the Word of God. Trusting God is the best protection you can have at any time under any circumstances from anything!!!

"I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence(plague)."(Psalm 91:2-3)

No Evil at my House!!

Heavenly Father, I come boldly before Your throne by the Blood of Jesus Christ. I declare that I have been redeemed from the curse and will walk in Your Blessing all the days of my life. (Galatians 3:13) I have what I say, so therefore I say that satan has no right in my affairs nor in any area of my life. (Mark 11:22-23) I am dressed in the Armour of the Spirit as described in Ephesians. (Ephesians 6:10-18) The Shield of Faith quenches all the fiery darts of the devil and I say that God's Armour of Light protects me from everything the enemy sends my way. By the power of God's Word I am anointed with the anointing of the Holy Spirit. God's anointing destroys every yoke, removes every burden and blesses every area of my life. I stand on the face of the earth and declare, by the authority given me by Jesus Christ, that all crooked things are made straight, hindrances are removed, sickness is gone from my body!! (Isaiah 40:4) I worship the Lord with giving and tithing so the windows of heaven are open above me. (Malachi 3:8-12) The devourer is rebuked and no evil will come near my dwelling. My house is righteous by the blood of Jesus and the house of the righteous shall flourish. (Psalm 92:12-14) We are expanding on the right hand and on the left hand. I love the Word of God so I have great peace and will not be offended by anything or anyone. (Psalm 119:165) I have a vision from God in my Spirit so I will not perish but launch out into the vastness of God's purpose for me. (Proverbs 29:13) Jesus Christ is my High Priest of good things to come, He has worked all things out for my good so I give thanks in all things!! (Romans 8:28) My steps are ordered by the Lord and He will continue His work in me until the Coming of Christ. (Psalm 37:23) My future is in the Hands of The Almighty God so I will not allow fear in my life. I will walk daily in the Love of Jesus Christ and Love NEVER fails so I will show someone some love today!!! In the mighty Name of Jesus Christ I pray!! AMEN!!!
