Working on a Video Blog Format

Some things I've been thinking about lately.

May God bless you 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,

Where is the Prophet Today?

The church today needs to recognize the voice of the prophet. Understand that the prophet isn't so much a "fore"teller as he is a "forth"teller. What do I mean by that? The prophet speaks "forth" God's Word. If God is speaking something in regards to the future, the prophet appears as a foreteller ... however ... in reality, he is simply speaking forth what God is saying at the moment.

As we look at the prophets of old, we'll see that most times they did not really have understanding of the full ramification of what they were saying. Most times the prophet was speaking of the times, situations, and circumstances of the present time they encountered. However, as we look back, and see how time developed, we see that his words spoke of much more than it appeared at first.

Do not find it odd that the apostles and prophets have lost much power and recognition in the church today. It is not by accident, it is by design. Remember, Ephesians 6:12, "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places." These are demonic spirits. Without going into great detail at this time concerning this demonic power structure, let me say briefly that this demonic influence makes its way from the spirit into the the physical world we live and walk in.

These influences have affected the view of the apostles and prophets in the church today. Let there be no doubt ... this influence has affected the evangelists, pastors, and teachers as well, but my focus of this blog is the apostles and prophets ... primarily the prophets.

Many denominations have portrayed that the offices of the apostles and prophets have past away. The influences mentioned above (demonic forces) have, by design, lessened the importance of the Word of God, by demeaning, or hopefully doing away with, the ministry offices proclaiming God's Word. If doubt in the mind of the hearer can be established even before hearing God's Word, then the effect of God's Word will be diminished.

We're told, in Ps 107:20, "He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions." So, if we are doubting His Word and the offices sent to deliver it ... how are we to receive His Word implanted ... and thus how are we to be delivered and healed?

James 1:21-25 tells us, "Therefore, putting aside all filthiness and all that remains of wickedness, in humility receive the word implanted, which is able to save your souls. But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror; for once he has looked at himself and gone away, he has immediately forgotten what kind of person he was. But one who looks intently at the perfect law, the law of liberty, and abides by it, not having become a forgetful hearer but an effectual doer, this man will be blessed in what he does."

Let's study to show ourselves approved unto God, workmen who do not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. (2Tim 2:15) Let's open our hearts to God's Word, and His prophets who He sends.

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

Take Control of Time, Don't Allow Time to Slip Away

Time is precious and valuable. There is truly nothing more valuable than time. Once time has passed, one can never get it back. It's more valuable than money. You can get more money, but you can't get more time. So, even though you may not think something you are spending your time on has much value, it is truly the most valuable thing in your life at that moment. Because the time you are spending on it cannot be replaced.

Think about the things you are spending your time doing. Is it truly that valuable to be worthy of the time you are spending? We have been given "time" by our Creator. How are we using that time?

What is your time worth? Is it measured by the hour? year? or lifetime? How do you measure the value of your time?

I suggest to you that the only measure of our value comes from God. The value He saw in each of us was worth Jesus giving His life, so that we may live. Each of us were created for a purpose, and that purpose has great value in the eyes of God. The key is to find out from Him what your purpose is, then you will grow to know how to utilize your time most effectively.

Don't sell yourself short. Don't allow the enemy to come in and steal your time. Stay on course with the purpose God created you for, and you will see great things accomplished in your life.

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

It's Time to Shout

Do not look at the day or time of this post and think it does not pertain to you. This is a divine appointment for you. There are several of "you." The Lord has led you to this page for such a time as this. He woke me from my sleep and directed me to record this for you. Prophecy is of no private interpretation, and He will lead others to this page for this message as well, but at this moment, what you must realize is, this is for you!

Just as Joshua led the children of Israel around Jericho, there came a time that the Lord commanded them to SHOUT! (Joshua 6) When he and the people shouted, the walls came down. It is time for YOU to shout. Shout for victory, because the Lord has torn down the walls that have restrained you from entering your promise! SHOUT! To God be the glory! I tell you now, be not ashamed ... SHOUT praises to God! SHOUT thanks to the Lord! Then see the walls of restraint crumble before you!

Those who have ears to hear, HEAR!

Now's the Time!

Regardless of what has happened to you, God still has a plan and purpose for your life. Now's the time! Proverbs 24:16a - "For a righteous man falls seven times, and rises again." God desires to do what He's never done before. He wants to do that through you and me. In order for Him to do the things He's never done before, we must do things we've never done before. For us to continue to do the same things over and over, and then expect different results, is insanity. Let's step out and walk on a level with the Lord that we've not walked before, in order to see the great things that God desires to do through us ... things He's never done before.

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