Favor ... with God & man!

God favors us ... it's unmerited ... and it's unexpected.

May God bless you, and make you a blessing to others!

God's Favor

You need to know, and understand, that you are favored. God's grace brings favor for you ... before God AND man.

Have you seen situations in your life when you were favored in a situation, and it left you bewildered as to why? That's God's favor.

I used to tease Cindy about us having the "front row anointing." We'll be looking for a parking place at Walmart, or the mall, and *BOOM* we have a spot in the front. Now she's saying it. It happens too often to be a "coincidence." It's the favor of God!

Some may say, "that never happens to me." To which I would reply, "you're probably right."

God desires to bless you in such small ways, as well as in major situations. He favors you! You need to begin to look for His favor. Recognize it, be aware of it, so you can give Him thanks for His favor.

Please share some comments, give testimony of His goodness and His favor in you life.

May God bless you abundantly, and make you a blessing to others!

Grace & Nothing More

By grace we are saved through faith ...

Jesus is Lord! He's supreme in authority. His desire is YOUR best. His love for you drives His grace upon you. The key to deliverance, healing, salvation, and safety is understanding and knowing His love for you.

Let's understand the meaning of these words. Grace is simply His favor toward you. The Greek word for saved, is the same Greek word in Romans 10:9, which means salvation, healing, deliverance, and safety. Faith comes by hearing the word of Christ, and ... faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen.

Let's break it down just a bit more. Since faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of Christ, one can understand that the word of Christ is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. Once you've heard the word of Christ on a matter, you have subtance of the things you've hoped for. His word is all the evidence you need ... more sure than seeing it.

So, we understand that it is by God's favor we are saved, delivered, healed, and put into safety through hearing the word of Christ. The righteous shall live by faith (hearing and hearing by the word of Christ).

God's word is vital for your daily walk. Be sure to get your daily bread for your spiritual strength.

May God bless you abundantly, and make you a blessing to others,

Spread the Word

I've been on a brief hiatus from the extremely active ministry that I've been involved in for over 30 years. I have continued to minister, and lives have been touched, refreshed, renewed, and transformed. Repeatedly I've been told that I need to get back to reaching the masses. My response has been that I have simply been waiting for the Lord to say, "Now is the time to step out."

I believe that this hiatus was ordained of God, and in this hiatus, God has refreshed me, and taken me into a fresh understanding of His grace, mercy, and righteousness. He's called me to the nations. He told me years ago that if my vision was not to reach all the world, then my vision was not His vision. ("Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations," Matthew 28:19a; "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation." Mark 16:15) I've continually had invitations to minister across the country and around the world. I've not been released to go ... until NOW!

I appreciate all of you who have been such an encouragement to me. God is about to do some great and mighty things through this ministry. It's like fire shut up in my bones. Those of you who have been such an encouragement, and many others who have been touched through the website, or personal ministry, I'm going to ask you to speak out. Spread the word about the website, talk to your pastors about inviting me to speak at a service, or even a seminar (3-5 days). If you've been touched by God through this ministry, others can be touched as well, and by doing your part, you will be part of the rewards as others are touched, renewed, refreshed, transformed, saved, healed, and delivered.

As I mentioned before ... God has called me, not only to reach the U.S., but He has called me to reach the nations. Having said that, I believe, there is an immediate focus that I'll be concentrating on for the next several months, at least. That's not to say that we will not be accepting invitations anywhere else, it only means what it means ... we will be concentrating our focus on the area shown in the image above.

It's time to get the word out. I'm excited about the opportunities before me. Please keep me, and this ministry, in your prayers.

May God bless each of you abundantly, and make you a blessing to others,

You ARE Forgiven!

Oh, how vital it is that we understand that we have been forgiven. Not that we "will be" forgiven, but we must understand that we "have been" forgiven. 2000 years ago, Jesus redeemed us, and forgave us. It is accomplished. Once for all He paid the price, and forgiveness has been bestowed upon us. Forgiveness has been established. It's not something we must "achieve," it is something we must "walk in."

Let me declare to you, by the authority given to me by God, through our Lord Jesus Christ ... You ARE forgiven!!! Forgiveness is not something we attain by our own efforts, it's something we receive through the finished work of Jesus Christ! It's not by our merits, but His! It's not by our efforts, but His!

Our boasting is not of our efforts, our worthiness, or our righteousness ... our boasting is in the Lord! We give Him praise, and thanks, for His mercy and grace!

Cease from your efforts of justification, and receive the justification that comes from His grace! His grace and forgiveness has been bestowed upon you, receive it, and walk in it! Mercy and truth will purge sin! Walk in the truth of God's Word. Walk in the forgiveness that has been poured out upon you!

Give God praise and thanks, and walk in His victory, and His grace!

May God bless you, and make you a blessing to others,

How Are We Saved?

How are we saved? We are saved by grace THROUGH faith. We are saved by God's willingness to use His power on our behalf, through the receiving and acting upon His Word which He gives us. He sent His Word and healed us and delivered us out of our distresses.  Many talk about grace, but how do we appropriate that grace into our life?  Through FAITH!

May God bless you, and make you a blessing to others.
