Motivation or Resignation

I just finished a message called Motivation or Resignation, it's based upon the thought that every child of God will at some point in their lives come to a state of desperation, this is not my real concern because great things can come out of our desperation, in fact desperation is the breeding ground for miracles.
My concern is that when we come to this place of desperation that we allow it to be a source of motivation, rather than a reason for resignation.
To resign means to give up, let go, cave in, throw in the towel, quit, accept dispair.

God has promised us that in due season we will reap if we do not faint, or if we do not resign.
it is not a sin to grow tired, it is not a sin to come to a place of desperation in our faith, and it may not even be a sin to resign or give up on your promise, but it is at the very least a tragedy.

To stand on the verge of your promise land and allow the giants to keep you from ever tasting the grapes that are yours by inheritance, is a tragedy.

So as you are reading this, if you have come to this place called desperation take heart and turn it into a source of motivation for pressing into the promises of God.

Anybody can quit when it gets tough, it takes a real man or woman of God to turn their desperation into motivation for fighting through to victory.

When the fire fell

This message is from 1kings 18 and it's about the confrontation between religion of man and reality of God.
We see in this passage of scripture that Israel had a wicked King named Ahab, and a wicked wife named Jezebel who was in fact a witch.
Jezebel had a mission, and her mission was to cut off every true prophetic voice in the land, so that the only voice heard would be that of her own false prophets.
The greatest threat of Jezebel was that she was very sneaky, she didn't deny God, or deny the people the right to go to church or even sacrifice at the altar of God, she simply added the altar of Baal and introduce Israel to Idolatry.
She mixed the lie with the truth, and it produced in the people of Israel a confusion, they were'nt all for God, neither were they all for Baal.
This is fine for the devil, because he will accept anything you give him.
On the other hand, God commands us in his word to have no other Gods before him, and he tells us that he is jealous.
In other words ( God will not just accept a slot in your life, a long side of every other religion and idol).
This same spirit is running amuck in the land today, we are being told that is alright to serve God as long as we are sympathetic to the fact that there are other Gods as well, and all ways lead to heaven.
This spirit of mixture has paralyzed Gods people, and let me take it a step further, it has emasculated Gods people, It has made spiritual eunichs out of the people of God.
which means we are incapable of reproducing the character and nature and power of God.
It's in some ways a spiritual homosexuality, which is incapable of reproducing.
But when the fire of God fell upon that mountain it destroyed the confusion, it broke the spell, it clarified the truth from the lie, and the people of God ran from Baals altar and the false prophets of Baal and they fell on their faces before the God of Heaven and they said the Lord he is God, The Lord he is God.
Elijah immediately said: Now destroy these false prophets, and they killed everyone of them.
Once again, America must have a visitation from God, we must have fire from heaven that will destroy the spell that has been cast upon Gods people, that will open their eyes, that will destroy the mixture and the delusion that has seduced us into spiritual impotency.
We must run passionately after God, and we must hate every imposter, every false God and religion that leads men away from the cross, and repentance.
There is only one God, and there is only one way to God and that is through his son Jesus Christ, and through confession of our sins and accepting Jesus Christ as the one and only Sacrifice.
We must pray for the fire of God to hit America, the only thing that can turn us back to God is the Fire of God.
When the fire fell, everything changed.
God send the FIRE

Don't Lose Your Head

I have a word of encouragement I want to share with Gods people.

The bible tells us that there will be a time of gross or great and heavy darkness in the world, the word darkness here refers to oppression, fear, confusion, uncertainty.

But at the same time the world is experiencing darkness, the children of God are walking in the light, and exceeding great light of the glory of God.

The word light here means, hope, confidence, wisdom, peace, joy, assurance, knowledge, blessings.

While the world is in a tail spin, and people are going crazy worrying about what the stock market is going to do, and who is going to be the next president, and whats going to happen to our health care and social security, and who’s the biggest nuclear threat.

The message for Gods people is: Don’t lose your head.

The scripture reference that I use for this is 2 kings 6:5

2Ki 6:5 But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water: and he cried, and said, Alas, master! for it was borrowed.

basically what it is saying is: he lost his head, and the lesson that it holds for us is that he lost his head because he lost his connection.

Like never before this is the time to guard our connection, make sure that we are staying close to the Lord, don’t let anything into your life that strains your connection.

If your connection stays strong you’ll never have to worry about losing your head.

The River

Wow! We just came out of an awesome ministers training seminar, you know knowledge is power so if we are going to discover our purpose and move up to the next level of our destiny we have to have knowledge.
It was such an awesome time of impartation of wisdom from our apostle and other leaders in the body of Christ.
But to make it even better, the last service ended in a mighty visitation of the Holy Spirit.
The presence of God was so powerful nobody wanted to leave.
We had planned on a 15-20 minute praise and worship time, but 2 1/2 to 3 hrs later people were still worshiping God.
The prophetic anointing began to flow and God graciously extended the invitation for his people to get in the river.
God is doing something powerful in the earth, he is moving gloriously in Florida, but he is also moving anywhere he finds hungry hearts.
The River is here, the only question is: who is thirsty? who is dry? who is willing to admit ( I need the river?

As for me (I'm desperate for the River), the river will take us into the very middle of the plan and purpose of God for this last day harvest.

You're Suppose To Win

We live in a day when most believers try to ignore the issue of sin, but according to the bible God is Holy and God hates sin.
The normal Christian life is to be one of Victory, but many of God's people are living defeated, worry and anxiety filled lives and the reason is, they have allowed sin to find a lodging place in their hearts.
The remedy for this is the same as it has always been, You must repent.
Repentance will release the power of the blood to cleanse us and bring us back into a relationship of power and authority with God.
Sin is the problem, the blood of Jesus and the grace of God is the cure, and repentance is the way the cure is applied.
Dear Friend of mine
You are suppose to Win.

I just posted this new message on sermon player, I pray that God will use it to bless you and help you stand in your rightful place as a child of God, and experience the victorious life you were created for.

This Is Just A Test

I am getting ready to add a new sermon to sermon player entitled (this is just a test) but the real emphasis is on the fact that your test is prophetic.
You are not tested in English, to see what you know about arithmetic,
Neither are you tested physically to see what you can do academically.
The point is: Whatever the test is you are facing right now, it is prophesying to you a victory in that area, all that you have to do is remain faithful, don't faint and in due season you will reap.

Be watching for this powerful life changing message

Faith Strategy

As I was reading the Story of the taking of Jericho, I realized that God gave to Joshua a faith strategy.
It was already settled before Joshua ever took a step that God had given him the city.
But what was required from Joshua was a faith strategy.
When I say a faith strategy I mean that action which is required on our part to connect the power of God with the problem we are facing.
If you recall the story of Gideon you will remember how the strategy God gave him required him to reduce his army from around 30,000 to 300 men.
Then to stand with clay pitchers in their hand, and a candle inside them and a trumpet in the other hand.
At Gideons command they were to break the pitchers and sound the trumpets.
When they acted on this faith strategy their enemies turned on each other and a great victory was won.
All through the bible we find that there is a faith strategy that must be acted on to release the power of God into your situation.
For a widow woman in the book of kings, it was to gather empty vessels from all over town, then to take a small pot of oil in her belonging, and begin to pour into those empty pots.
Miraculously as she acted on this faith strategy every pot was filled with oil and her need was more than met.
For Joshua it was specific directions, to walk around the city once a day for 6 days, then seven times on the seventh day, especially critical to this process was that the people make no sound with their mouths until the trumpets sounded on the last day.
As the trumpets sounded, the people shouted and the walls fall down flat before them.
I said all that to say this:
I don't know what you may be facing today, but God has already decreed that you will be victorious, but there is one condition ( You must get his faith strategy and you must act in faith on that strategy) and when you do there is no wall, no problem, no giant, nothing that can stand before you.
As you act on that faith strategy you will create the avenue for the power of God to enter that situation and do what is humanly impossible.
So in conclusion:
I don't know what you may be facing, but I know if you will get a faith strategy from God, You will join Joshua and Gideon, and Jehosaphat, and the widow woman and a millions of others who have seen the power of God manifested in their lives, through the activity of faith.
