My Dreams
My dreams…..no one has been created with the same exact
dreams as I. If u look at everything around us…the coffee
shops, the hair products, the clothing stores, the
automobile shops, etc. someone had to dream…someone had a
dream, maybe it started out big or maybe small, but there
was a hope that someday their product would sell or their
restaurant would make business. There were investments made
that cost everything in hopes that they would prosper.
Discouragements might have come, money lost, opinions of
man, but they did not give in to discouragement. What if we
made investments in the Kingdom? Sometimes they work and
sometimes they fail, but one thing we know they always
prosper because there is a Heavenly account. There is room
to make mistakes, not sinful mistakes, but mistakes of
ignorance. They are for our perfecting. Isaiah 55:1 and 2
says this: “Ho! Everyone who thirsts, Come to the waters;
And you who have no money, Come buy and eat….Why do you
spend money on what is not bread, And your wages for what
does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is
good, And let your soul delight itself in abundance.” Invest
in what matters. There is heavenly profit. So what if all
goes wrong? Maybe one soul was transformed. What if you
dream and a whole village is saved, restored, and set ablaze
with the fire, passion, and love of God?
How do you keep that dream
going without letting discouragement come in? Invest your
life into the Kingdom…live for something big….dream
outrageously…and never stop loving and living for the One
who died for you…your Savior, your God, and your friend.
So many people seek worldly
things to gratify their longing and desire in life. I have
been convicted of this, seeking a better job, nicer car,
degree of recognition, or a spouse. None of these are such
evil desires, but truly to invest your time, energy, and
love in the Lord first will make these dreams so much more
fulfilling and worth living. Dream Big!!! Live, love, laugh,
and lavish your affections on the only true profit-Jesus
Christ. |

The Season of Christmas
Christmas is a time of truly letting all the differences go
and loving everyone equally. It is a time where we often
show honor where honor is due. It is a season of sharing and
caring and loving and giving. It is a time of great Joy
because we show love in tangible ways. Giving and receiving
puts smiles on faces from ear to ear all around the world.
Christmas is a season of celebrating Christ's life and the
love He gave for us. Jesus not only was born in a manger,
but He died and rose again for our sins to be removed and
taken away so we can live in newness of life and walk in His
abundance of life. We are now His and He is ours. This is
the most special relationship and gift we will ever possess.
So....what if we lived
Christmas everyday? Living and loving...giving and
laughing...caring and sharing…and bringing gifts to all and
to many. This world would be a better place if we celebrated
Christmas all through the year. There would be more than a
simple Christmas cheer; there would be a warmth of the Love
that God gave ringing through the air and penetrating in
every heart on this earth.
Receive God's gift of Love
today! He is the reason for every season! Celebrate Jesus
everyday. He has not just given us a quantity of time, but a
QUALITY of LIFE.
Thank You Lord Jesus that we
have the privilege to worship and honor You. Thank You for
Your amazing Love...that it's not so much what we do for You
that matters...You simply desire our kisses and affection.
This next year, may we lavish all that we have upon You only
to receive more joy, peace, and Your precious Life-giving
power. Cause us to remember ALL of Your benefits and not
forget ALL of Your promises. For they are yes and amen! We
love You Jesus!
Merry Christmas and a VERY
JOYFUL new year! |

its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us
also walk in the Spirit. Let us not become conceited,
provoking one another, envying one another.” V. 24-26 |

The Ministry of Love
We don’t have to wait for a ministry opportunity. Ministry
is all around us. It’s in the people that sit next to us on
a plane, the solicitor on the telephone, the next door
neighbor who walks his dog every morning right past your
yard. It’s in the cashier at the grocery market, even those
who sit next to you in traffic on the freeway. People are
everywhere. You do not have to have a minister’s license or
travel across the world, or be called a prophet or an
apostle to do as God has called you to do or be as God has
called you to be. His will for you is this: to LOVE Him with
ALL your heart, mind, and strength and show forth His glory
to all people, revealing Him as Savior, a faithful lover and
best friend to all creation. He has called you to be His son
and daughter, adopted and grafted in-made in all likeness of
Christ Jesus. It’s time to live what we were created for.
His purpose is not only drinking and eating, which are
earthly activities, yet it is righteousness, peace, and joy
in the Holy Ghost.
We are not waiting to be
sanctified by His precious blood. We have been sanctified by
His blood that was shed for us. We are now free in Him. He
is our answer and our liberty. If you would like to pray and
make a declaration in your heart of what Christ has done for
you, you may say:
Thank You, Jesus for
dying for my sins and making me clean with Your precious
blood. Thank You that You have washed me and forgiven me
and made me a new creation-one who is created for the
praise of Your glory. I love You! Amen!
Just as David was appointed
King out of all his brothers and Esther, an orphan girl
seemed like the least candidate to be queen; God raised them
up because they had a heart after Him- a heart of surrender
and undying love. Where are the Mighty Ones? May we see
ourselves as Mighty in God and follow Him with an undying
love. |

You are the Joy that is set before me!
Run with your dreams. Who will carry forth the dreams that
have been placed in your heart? God has given them to you. You
will stand alone at times, but when you gain the victory there
will be many whose lives will be transformed and witnesses of
God's glory. Don't be afraid to step out for someone's
freedom. Dare to believe.
Everyone is longing to be loved. Loved first by a father, and
then by family and friends, then peers, guys/girls,
co-workers, then of course by a lover; a husband or wife. But
who will truly meet that need to be loved? That void in your
heart that happens when your best friend turns their back on
you, or when your lover who you thought you would spend your
whole life with decides to go the opposite direction, or when
you are alone at night, wondering about tomorrow, fearful of
the future.
Who will you hold onto if all that is close to you is lost? I
have seen it first hand. If you're not holding onto Jesus, it
can be terrible. Hold onto Jesus.
Your most important relationship is Jesus. He is the only one
who can fill your desires. He brings others around you to
enjoy life He's given. But when all life seems to be gone, we
must hold onto the life-giver.
Our relationship with Him first will be the outcome of who we
hold onto when we stand alone before Him on that day where all
eternity stands before us. There's peace to know that we are
His and He is ours. Commune with Him and know Him, for those
who don't know Him will spend eternity without Him.
Awaken the dreams. Laying down one thing will awaken another
thing-another step toward our destiny. Choose true life today!
Don't live mediocre. Live holy and abandoned. Live for the
greater reward-His kingdom.
I speak to dreams and I say: "Awaken!" What if we all dreamed
the dreams God gave us? We'd all be so caught up in glory
people would be saved left and right and God's glory would be
revealed to ALL mankind. Don't be ashamed to shine. Get lost
in Jesus. He will carry you through it all!
Blessings! |

God’s Militant Army
There’s something more than emotionalism; it’s the manifest
presence of God that comes from relationship. There’s
something more than fantasy; it is a life yielded to God to
walk out your destiny. There’s something more than religion;
it’s the passionate revealing of a Divine friendship with God.
What will you choose today? Emotionalism, fantasy, and
religion will never fulfill your God-given destiny. Your
dreams will merely be as chasing a rainbow, never being able
to catch up. Oh, but when you walk in the manifest presence of
God, in complete yieldedness, abandonment, and surrender to
His will and engage in a Divine friendship with God you will
suddenly explode with Destiny.
This is the FREEDOM generation. They will not know an ounce of
religion. This move of God will be paved by spiritual mothers
and fathers who are willing to release control of the reigns
and create an atmosphere of holy, abandoned lovers of God to
be raised. It’s that ooshy, gushy, mushy love of God that will
draw people to surrender to His heart. This generation is a
Holy Ghost army. We are barely getting positioned and now we
are preparing the stand as we grab hands in rank.
The battle belongs to the Lord, but our stand of righteousness
can send the enemy fleeing in intimidation. The army of God
with its light shining is so much more powerful than the ways
of darkness. Soon this generation of young people will
overtake the powers of darkness in such a way that it will
take over the world with Father’s glory. It will take over
businesses, governments, schools, restaurants, and nations.
Families will be transformed.
Don’t allow any loosening of the ranks. What will allow
loosening of the ranks? Distractions, deception, earthly
lusts, strife, envy, jealousy, bitterness, contention,
complaints, laziness, and ignorance from not being in the Word
enough will cause our tight ranks to loosen. What will
strengthen our ranks? An undying, unconditional love for our
Father and others, communion, patience, fellowship with the
Father, giving, obedience, faith, self control, humility,
servant hood, prayer for one another, unity, holy passion,
righteousness, gentleness, boldness, and confidence.
You need to be in the Word. You can’t have a broken sword. It
is not very intimidating to the enemy. As we spend time with
God we become militant against the darkness. No longer does
the world of darkness become our enemy, but we become the
enemy to darkness. We rise with militant, conquering praise.
We will glorify our God and not allow the rocks to cry out.
“In Him
also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined
according to the purpose of Him who works all things according
to the counsel of His will, that we who first trusted in
Christ should be to the praise of His glory”
Ephesians 1:11 &12 |
