Let Your Light Shine!

What I've noticed over recent years is how Christmas seems less and less about Jesus. I can say that I've noticed it across my lifespan, but I must say how much more noticeable it has been recently.

Now with the rise of a more socialistic view from the left, I believe it's time to sound the alarm. It's time for Christians to rise up across the country and let their light shine. No more hiding it under a bushel ... no!

The answer is (and always has been) Jesus! Not religion ... JESUS! The person of Jesus ... an actual knowledge of ... an actual relationship with ... the living Jesus! He is alive, if you've not heard ... He rose from the dead! 

Romans 10:9  

"that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;"

Believing that He is alive is foundational to our Christian faith.

The world today is faced with some serious issues. I can't say that it's "new," because persecution has been around in various forms since time began. Today, we just see it in ways, and in forms, that we've not seen before, and ... hadn't even conceived possible ... especially in the United States.

It's time to truly seek the Lord for His guidance for such a time as this. Be strong and courageous! Realize that He's not left us, nor forsaken us!

Good News is ... we WIN! I've read the end of the book ... we WIN! Do not be dismayed, seek the Lord, and follow His guidance ... and know that as we do, He always leads us in triumph in Christ (2Cor 2:14). We, as Christians, are the light of the world. We are the answer to the issues the world faces. It's time to stand strong, and boldly proclaim the truth. Commit now to being the light in "your world."

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,
