What is done is done, so like sand falling through our fingers at the beach, we cannot possibly regain some things unless God Himself restores them to us!! Joseph the son of Israel (Jacob) was sold to a caravan of Midianites by his brothers as a teenager, put in irons and marched to Egypt then sold as a slave in the marketplace of the world!!! God delivered him from prison and exalted him to the highest office in the land, second only to Pharaoh. A famine in his home land forced his family to come to Egypt to get food. As the story goes they would end up staying in Egypt but when Israel (Jacob) died, Joseph ask Pharaoh for permission to go back home to the promised land to bury his daddy. They made the journey to Canaan to bury "The Father of the 12 Sons of Israel"! God changed Jacob's name to Israel after a night of wrestling and he became the Father of the 12 tribes of Israel!! Joseph made the journey, buried his father then returned to Egypt. You may wonder why he went back to Egypt? Why didn't he stay in his home land? It was where he grew up, where he had his childhood memories but the painful memories of being thrown in a pit BY HIS OWN, SOLD BY HIS OWN, was just too much so he returned to a place that he now felt at home. Yes he was sold as a slave in Egypt, mistreated, falsely accused, imprisoned but NOT by his OWN, so it didn't have the same impact of his earlier suffering at the hand of his OWN, that supposedly loved him!!! The first time Joseph saw his brothers after they sold him to the caravan headed to Egypt he had to go in private to HIDE AND WEEP!!! Many years had lapsed but his HURT WAS AS FRESH as if it were 5 minutes ago!!! Are you really any better after all this time?
TIME DOES'NT HEAL, it's just the method of measurement that we use to identify the distance back to when we were hurt!!! Jesus is our healer!!! Pain and hurt can travel through time at the speed of light so we must lean on Jesus to heal us, not look at the calendar nor the clock! Thinking time will heal us is just another religious myth but Jesus is not a myth, He is my Healer!!! Time may help bring some other things in your life to help occupy your time but it will never heal you!!!!

"Help Us, Lord"
If you need help today, call on the one that can make a difference!!! Your circumstances are irrelevant to His Power to give rest to those that call on Him!!!!
"And Asa cried unto the Lord his God, and said, Lord, IT IS NOTHING WITH THEE TO HELP, whether with many, or with them that have no power: HELP US, O Lord our God; for we rest on thee, and in thy name we go against this multitude. O Lord, thou art our God; let not man prevail against thee." (2 Chronicles 14:11 KJV)

Just because you THINK you know someone or something doesn't mean you do, it just means you THINK you do!! Knowing and thinking are two totally different things...... The more we think before we speak, the less harm done to our family, friends and neighbors!!!

Weak and Weary today??
"And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me."
(2 Corinthians 12:9)
"I will glory in my weakness"! The areas of my life that I can't possibly fix, so I MUST lean on Jesus!!! I have no other choice because I just can't deal with this alone so I MUST LEAN ON JESUS!! But, WHAT ABOUT OUR STRENGTHS, the areas that we have under control, our gifts, our strong points, etc.... We have heard all of our lives that the devil hits us in our weak areas but Jesus has got those areas covered!!! According to this verse God's Strength is made Perfect our Weakness!!! What if we feel so confident about our strengths, that we are so passionate in our strong areas that we self-destruct because we will push ourselves past the breaking point since we excell in certain areas?!!! We OVER-COMPENSATE in our strengths to hide our weak areas? We certainly want everyone to see the good not the bad. I just wonder, just maybe, that sometimes our strengths because of this over-compensation factor, actually become our weakness. Jesus has already died for the world, so you don't have to die!!! Don't let you passion burn you out!!! Stay balanced and Stay Strong!!!

Forgive it or live with it.....
"And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you". Ephesians 4:32
"Forgiving one another" Learning to let things go is one of the greatest challenges we face as humans but to grow in Christ we must do so. You may say that forgiving a person that has hurt you is above and beyond the call of duty. Well, we are supposed to be like Jesus, aren't we? The last time I read my Bible that's what it said! As a matter of fact I'm sitting here looking at several verses on forgiveness as I write this devotion. It's the memory of the incident that caused all this pain and trauma in your life that you can't forget much less forgive the "devil" that did the deed. When the "WWJD" bracelets came out we all bought one and wore it like a badge of spirituality. Wearing a bracelet and forgiving someone that has hurt you are two different things. There is a vast difference between the two. Forgiveness is painful but freeing, yes, you have borne the pain, the hurt, the trauma but you'll never be free until you truly forgive the person as Christ forgave you. If you read Job chapter 42 you will find out that Job got double blessings after he prayed for his friends that had hated on
him for 42 long chapters. They heaped oppression on top of Job's depression but he forgave and got blessed. Forgiveness is costly, you are paying the price of the pain whether you forgive or not, if you don't let it go, it will turn to bitterness which will rot your bones like a cancer. You are living with the consequences of the evil that's been done to you, why not forgive and be free. The person you forgive may never even know, they may never change, but YOU will and it will be a day to remember. FORGIVENESS FIXES YOUR PAIN NOT THE OTHER PERSONS BEHAVIOR!!! Allow me to let you in on a secret, you are not responsible for everyone's behavior, just yours. Forgive someone today and you will be amazed at what God is about to do in your life

Success
"If we can't handle failure, we will never handle success!!"
All coins have two sides, if we have success, we will process failure and set backs along the way. If we fall apart when put under pressure then the responsibility of our own success will cause us to fail as well. Don't let the blessings in your life ruin your life!! Use your Blessings wisely, "where much is given, much is required"! "(Luke 12:48 KJV)
It's God's will for you to be blessed in every area of your life but the question that has to be answered is, what will you do with those Blessings? How have you responded to the challenges and failures in your life? Are you willing to be blessed to be a blessing?
"Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:"
(Proverbs 2:11 KJV)
Without "Discretion" The Blessing of the Lord will continue to elude you!!

God has plans for You, America and the Nations of the World! The ride from here on in should be pretty exciting, a little shaky sometime but exciting!!!
"For thus saith the Lord of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land; And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the Lord of hosts. The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the Lord of hosts. The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the Lord of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the Lord of hosts."(Haggai 2:6-9 KJV)

I'm guilty;
Peter was going to fight a 600 man kill squad alone for Jesus!! He drew his sword, cut off a mans ear but Jesus basically told his main supporter to put his sword away because I got this.....but Jesus was arrested, beaten, wrongfully accused, tried and crucified for no crime!!! Peter would have died fighting for Jesus that night. We are guilty of the same thing, it's killing us and our enemies are thriving!! We are tired, worn to a frazzle, stressed to the max!!! We will not let Jesus fight the battles for us.. Christianity would be awesome if it wasn't for all of us humans!!!!
"Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus. Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?"

STOP, WAIT A MINUTE....
If you are always "fixing" your family and friends to meet your standard of living, you are actually subconsciously condemning them by basically saying; You've got it all wrong!! I know you think you are helping but you are actually satisfying a need in you to fix everything and everyone!! Over time you have set yourself up as the standard of measurement but they might like their pictures hanging crooked in their house!! After all, it's their house and their pictures!! By all means continue, because before long you won't have a relationship with the people you love because they will avoid you like a plague due to the fact that you can't have a normal conversation so you now have what you wanted, a perfect world!! The problem is, no one is in it but you!! Focus Class!! What matters to you the most when you go to bed tonight?? I would spend my days humbly, lovingly and graciously building these relationships not executing the participates!!!
"And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;"

"Fasten your seat belts, turbulence ahead!"
The disciples questioned Christ about the end of days, when it would come, how will we know? This is still the question of the hour, when shall the end be? There are many people that are overcome with fear concerning the things that are going on in America and around the world. Our culture has changed, our knowledge has increased, population has exploded but people nor God have changed, in nature, since creation!! The human race is in darkness but still equally divided into groups, one group freaks out about everything, one group doesn't have a clue what's going on and the rest are caught in the middle trying to make sense of it all. Please take time to read your Bible, it's very clear concerning the last days, you are watching it unfold before your eyes. The Scriptures are being fulfilled in perfect detail.
"And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, BUT THE END IS NOT YET." (Matthew 24:6 KJV)
Ladies and Gentlemen, we are at war!! Jesus will come soon to catch His Church away, those washed in "The Blood of the Lamb" then the time of "Jacob's Trouble" or the 7 year tribulation will begin by revealing a new world leader, The Anti-Christ! Once the "Christ-ians" are gone the anti-Christ can rule the earth with fear and war!!
"That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand." 2 Thessalonians 2:2 KJV
Please read 2 Thessalonians chapter 2 and you see clearly the the Person of the Anti-Christ cannot rule the earth until the Holy Spirit is taken out of the way so "that Wicked" be revealed!
"For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:"
2 Thessalonians 2:7-8 KJV (Please bear in mind that there are 7 years of real time covered in vs 8. When it begins with the "letting" of the anti-Christ after the born again believers are caught up to meet Christ in the Air but closes with the destruction on the anti-Christ which is 7 years later at the end of the 7 year tribulation in the World War known as "Armageddon". This is why you MUST study the entire Word of God and compare "scripture to scripture"!)

Hello, My name is Stress!!
I was here a long time before I was named...... It is my job to skew your view enough that you can't see the good things in your life so you are never thankful. Once I remove your "attitude of gratitude" I can start to work on making you think EVERYTHING IS BAD in your life. Then I get you to join me on the edge of the ledge where "everything is bad", so we can move on to everything is probably wonderful in your friends lives. From here it's pretty easy for me because I have you in a vicious cycle and all I have to do is get you to think that adding more sugar and caffeine will help you feel better.... Ok, the next step is I don't need sleep but you do so I will only give you bits and pieces of a thing called a "good nights rest". God created rest for your body to shut down so it could renew itself for the next day. The alarm clock, I'm sorry, your cell phone sounds to wake you but you've only had three hours sleep, it can't be time to do it all over again. You can go to your doctor and medicate me but I still won't go away, I will breakthrough as your meds wane... I have now become your constant companion, I've messed up your cortisol levels, I have them up when they should be down and down when they should be up!!! Once I've breached your walls of human preservation I can cause you to be anxious in a crowd or sitting home alone..... Once I have you "under my thumb" the music never stops, the dance of deception is on repeat and you think you can handle me but in reality I'm handling you!!

50 Dead / 53 Injured
Who are these people? Someone's Child! Someone's friend! Someone's employee! For the most part I'm sure they were Americans at a social scene of their choice, a right given to all Americans!! They were brutality murdered or injured by an Islamic Terrorist!!! We are at war, blood continues stain our land!!! We must unite and rise above the darkness that has been unleashed in this country! Please pray for all the families touched by this travesty of justice because they will never be the same at any point in their lives!!!

Have we been silent too long?
"The Sound of Silence"
"And no one dare
Disturb the sound of silence"
"Fools," said I, "you do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you."
But my words like silent raindrops fell"
Does anyone hear us or have we become silent raindrops? Have we become an echo in a dark room, where there is no light?
"and the people bowed and prayed,
to the neon gods they had made!"
We sat quietly while righteousness was removed from our public schools and worse yet replaced by the philosophy of the gods of this world!! "
On June 25, 1962, the United States Supreme Court decided in Engel v. Vitale that a prayer approved by the New York Board of Regents for use in schools violated the First Amendment because it represented establishment of religion."
Paul Simon wrote this song in 1963 while he sat in his dark bathroom because it had tile floors which created an echo chamber effect. The darkness helped him concentrate as he played in the dark.
As we play in the dark, do we reflect enough light to see our way out of the darkness? Is it possible that those that are gifted in the arts to be prophetic and accurate??
"the words of the Prophets are written on the subway walls"
Have we become as ineffective as graffiti on a wall in the subway or do we have the supernatural power within that will cause the mountains to move, the heavens to shake......
Should we keep our heads in the sand and simply display patriotism when the songs of God and Country are sung or should we be counted as Patriots? There is a vast difference in being patriotic and being a Patriot! I'm glad the founding fathers were Patriots and not just Patriotic!! The Founding Fathers made a choice, stood their ground and stayed their course!!! I strongly suggest we do the same!!!

A Prayer for our Children!!
Heavenly Father;
The only place I can find to begin this prayer is to quote a passage from Matthew, where Jesus was teaching us to pray. "Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven....Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil." Father, we need You to step into our lives in a way that we've never experienced before because our children are suffering, the children of the world are suffering. After over 3 decades of ministry, my wife, Kari M. Boatner and myself have prayed for, cried with and counseled many families with troubled children. Father, our children in America are troubled by so many things that it is impossible to speak them all in this prayer but I know that You know the pain of our hearts. The conditions of children in third world countries that I've personally seen are beyond human comprehension but not beyond Your great mercies!!! We boldly approach Your throne to find grace for the children, their parents and their teachers. If we are going to change a generation, it will take the input of this entire group. Father, help us to lay aside our differences, our self absorbed life styles and all of us in ministry, parents, teachers and children come together as one to ensure that our children get what they need to grow into mature God-Fearing adults. We are a few weeks from the end of the school year, teachers, parents and students are counting down the days till this drama called "school" comes to an end!! God, please have mercy on us and our children, give us wisdom to make our churches, homes and schools places of peace, safety and education. We surrender our lives to You, Father, please open the heavens and come down. Let this generation experience the power of a resurrected Savior...IN JESUS NAME, AMEN!!!!!
"Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down,"(Isaiah 64:1a)

SICK OF BEING SICK?!?!?
Heavenly Father, my family and friends are sick. Some have terminal illness, incurable diseases, flu, strep and what we in the south call the "crud". The crud comes and goes, some have had it two or three times and others have had it for several weeks, JESUS, we are sick. I've never seen so much sickness in almost 34 years of ministry!!
O'Lord of Great Mercy, would you please touch all of us with Your healing touch right now In Jesus Name, Amen!! In agreement with the people and Word of God by the Authority of Jesus Christ I declare healing over the body of Christ!!!

"In a short while, this will be a long time ago!"
While enjoying dinner with some dear friends, in reference to the topic of conversation someone said; "In a short while, this will be a long time ago"!!! He couldn't remember where he heard the statement nor who had said it, movie, news, etc....but in the context of my frame of Spirit at the moment, God used it to speak volumes to me!! I have no idea of its original intent but I do know God used those words to rejuvenate my Spirit and Hope!!! Whatever you are going through, enduring, facing, putting up with, tolerating, just remember; "IN A SHORT WHILE, THIS WILL BE A LONG TIME AGO"!!!
"And when even was now come, his disciples went down unto the sea, And entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them. And the sea arose by reason of a GREAT WIND that blew. So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the ship: and they were afraid. But he saith unto them, It is I; BE NOT AFRAID; Then they WILLINGLY received him into the ship: and IMMEDIATELY the ship was at the land whither they went." (John 6:16-21 KJV)

God will take care of His Own and He often uses unusual chosen vessels to do so..... Pharaoh fed Israel for over 400 years, Cyrus of Persia (Iran) delivered Israel from the Babylon captivity, Moses used Egyptian Gold to build the Tabernacle in the Wilderness!! King Solomon made business deals with Hiram, King of Tyre, to get the magnificent "Temple of Solomon" built and ready for Worship!! Prophets Isaiah, Jeremiah and Ezekiel denounced Tyre but years later when Jesus visited Tyre He was well received!! It could quiet possibly have been a harvest on the good work of King Hiram by helping King Solomon establish a House of Worship in Israel centuries earlier!! God doesn't forget anyone that helps His people!!! God sees the "Big Picture" and works among nations in unusual ways using unusual people to accomplish His Purpose at various times!!! Trust Him!!!

Focused or Distracted?
We deliberately focus our attention on various things for various reasons. However we can become so focused on something, some issue, a person, obsessed even, that it's becoming a distraction instead of healthy focus? So are you focused or are you distracted? You are proving a point, no one is listening, so you say it again, no one listening still, but you will be heard if it kills you!!!! You are distracted and no one but you cares!!!!
"For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!"(Matthew 6:21-23 KJV)
You probably focus on your treasure, your treasure being what is important to you at the moment. If what you trust to be your guiding light is actually not light at all but rather darkness you are distracted by a darkness that you mistakenly think to be light...... (Read it again slowly, it's confusing I know) You can be following something that is leading you nowhere yet you think you are actually going places!! Is your light, darkness? Focused or Distracted? Is it healthy or is it a point you just have to make, to prove you are right?
Step back, take a deep breath, now.... Are you distracted or are you focused on what really matters???

The lesser person is always offended by the greater.
The unsuccessful person is always offended by the successful.
The hypocritical person is always offended by the person of integrity.
The one that is bitter is always offended by the person that is happy.
The unforgiving person is always offended by the forgiving.
The immature person is always offended at the mature one.
What? The "offended" has to justify their actions and words so they are always whining about something because they have a jealous, critical spirit. The person that has inner peace, that speaks the truth and lives for God can sleep at night because they don't have anything to prove. "Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them."(Psalm 119:165) The Book that we base our beliefs on is called the Bible, the Inspired Word of God. It is the foundation upon which we stand therefore, in Christ, you can always win!!

Don't forget to close the backdoor!!
At midnight tonight the curtains of time will open on a new year, 2016!! The Year of our Lord, 2015, will come to a close!!!
Whatever we are thankful for will continue to grow in the Favor of God as we step into the new year. However, we must make a conscious choice to leave all the pain, disappointment, discouragement, failures, etc.... behind us or it will become baggage that will weigh us down. Please don't leave the door to your past open so that it can continue to bring fear and chaos into your life. I must confess that this Word is a Word from God to my Spirit, a challenge to not allow the hardships of 15 to become my identity. My wife and I returned from a trip to Las Vegas mid December 2014, both my knees were swollen to the point that I could no longer walk. I had surgery on my left knee in January and surgery on my right knee in August. I've spent most of this year on crutches or in bed and preaching while sitting on a stool. I'm choosing by God's Grace to close the door behind me because Jesus is my Healer and my Hope!! I refuse to allow 2015 to prematurely define 2016!!! It's a new year and God is going to "Restore the Years"!!! Give God thanks for the good and it will follow you into the new year, close the back door on all the hurt that is behind you before it becomes a part of who you are tomorrow. If you can't fix it, take a deep breath, give it to God and walk into 2016 with your head held high looking to the "Hills from whence cometh your help!! (Psalm 121:1)
"Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month. And the floors shall be FULL of wheat, and the fats shall OVERFLOW with wine and oil. And I will RESTORE TO YOU THE YEARS that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you."

I had surgery on my left knee in January and surgery on my right knee in August. I've spent most of this year on crutches or in bed and preaching while sitting on a stool. I'm choosing by God's Grace to close the door behind me because Jesus is my Healer and my Hope!! I refuse to allow 2015 to prematurely define 2016!!! It's a new year and God is going to "Restore the Years"!!! Give God thanks for the good and it will follow you into the new year, close the back door on all the hurt that is behind you before it becomes a part of who you are tomorrow. If you can't fix it, take a deep breath, give it to God and walk into 2016 with your head held high looking to the "Hills from whence cometh your help!! (Psalm 121:1)
"Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month. And the floors shall be FULL of wheat, and the fats shall OVERFLOW with wine and oil. And I will RESTORE TO YOU THE YEARS that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you."
Joel 2:23-25 KJV
Rejoice in the Lord, expect the overflow, restoration and outpouring of God's Spirit in 2016!!!!
I Believe,
