"To Obey Is Better"

"We want the crown without the cross expect reward without the cost, but there's a price that must be paid, the Word of God must be obeyed."

What a privilege to choose to walk in daily obedience to our Heavenly Father. His ways are always redemptive, and His conditions are always coated with grace.

It's not really a sacrifice to obey His commands, for His promises are always dependable, and full of rich blessings. To sum it all up let's continue , faithfully, to serve the Lord with gladness. The joy of the Lord is truly our strength and a mighty testimony to a hurting world. Jesus himself said, "My yoke is easy and My burden is light." So lets enjoy the journey of faith together and choose to live in the better way as obedient children, to God's Holy Word.

Radical Leadership

I want us to catch a vision of our church as Bigger and more Influential than ever before. The power of Jesus Christ in His church can bring true and lasting change to a community and country.

Let's embrace a leadership model that is simple. sincere and sacrificial ; Leadership that craves the Living Word and a glory filled, "Powerful touch", from the throne room of God. Let's be leaders that have the hand of God on our daily practical responsibilities, and activities. Let's be leaders that love Evangelism, Discipleship, and Prayer. Let's be bold and declare God's Goodness, Love and Truth, to a desperate and dying generation. Are you that sort of Leader?

Lead the way in a Revival-Transformation for your family, your church, your community, your nation, and yourself. Let's be Radical in our approach to the things of the Kingdom.

Family Guidance and God's Direction

As we journey together in our corporate fast, we are targeting our children, grand children, and even generations to come, with the awesome Blessings of God. Psalm 48 says, "Tell the generations following. For this is God, our God forever and ever; He will be our guide always." "Here is the way, walk ye in it." Ezra 8 says, "I proclaimed a fast at the river of Ahava, to seek Him for the right way for us, and for our little ones, and for all our substance."

Some need to know whether to move to another area or not. Some to choose the right career move or mate, others need to know the correct words to say, and when or who to minister to. God holds the answer and the peace for every question in our hearts. He will release those answers to us, as we continue to humble ourselves, and to seek His face during these days of fasting that we've set aside purposely, to inquire of our Savior. Open up your heart by faith! "Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths."

Happy and Blessed Holiday's

Well its that wonderful time of the year again, When families get together to share love, give thanks, and celebrate King Jesus' Birthday.

Thanksgiving is one of my very favorite holidays. I love to feast on family time, fun activities, and delicious food. The Bible says, "In everything give thanks for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you."

Christmas is an awesome time of exchanging gifts of love, with family and friends. Warm fireplaces give off a holy glow. We celebrate and worship Jesus as our new born King and our soon returning Saviour and Lord.

I encourage us all to relax, remove the stress, simplify and practice what Thanksgiving and Christmas are all about, a magical time of Love, Worship, and Celebration

Blessed Are The Whole-Hearted

There's no doubt about it,  God is looking to bless those who are passionately sold out to Him.  "The eyes of the Lord move through-out the earth, so that He can show Himself strong on behalf of those whose Hearts are set upon Him."  Jesus said, "I would rather you be hot or cold."  Caleb, "I have followed the Lord whole-heartedly, so give me this mountain!"  Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul and strength."  And the list goes on.  That is the #1 issue that we face today, and the one will be judged on.  Do we have an on fire personal loving relationship with Jesus Christ today?  To know Him is to love Him completely.

Living Life With Gusto

Jesus said, I've come to give you a full life."  We were put on this earth to experience blessing and more importantly to be a blessing to others.  As we walk the path of Life together, let's be very sure that we slow down and truly drink in all of the wonders around us.  The Bible tells us to, "redeem the time, or make every moment a masterpiece, because the days are evil."  One of the best ways to witness and shine for Jesus, is to passionately enjoy life.  Life is the greatest gift we have.  I encourage you today to not waste time, and just remember, with joy in your heart, and a smile on your face, that we are living right now for eternity.  "Only one life will soon be past, only what's done for Christ will last."  Go for the Gusto!!

Live Passionately!!

One of three things will happen today. One the Rapture of the Church: where every believer will be called up to meet our Lord in the air.  to forever be with our Heavenly Father.  Two we could die and be translated immediately into Heaven and our Lord's presence.  Three we may be given another great day with opportunities to live all out for God, by loving our family, friends, and co-occupants of earth,  with sacrificial love.

Let's purpose in our hearts to make every moment count.  Life isn't measured by the number of breaths we are given, but by the precious moments that take our breath away.  

"This is the day the Lord has made!"  This is your life, right now, so live it to the max.
