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!

Let every man be a liar and let God be Truth!

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
