For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, “Do not fear; I will help you.” (Isaiah 41:13)

ONE NATION UNDER GOD!
ONE NATION UNDER GOD!
Lord, may Your FIRE WORK in and through Your people for this nation and for the world!
May YOUR GLORY light up the sky and light up our lives!
May we walk in FREEDOM and declare Your mighty name in all the earth!
May we celebrate YOU this day – our Savior, our Lord – our VICTORY!
HALLELUJAH!!!
The GREAT WORK!
Yes…the Lord is calling YOU to a great work! But, don’t worry. He does not expect you to be able to do it with your own strength! He calls…and then He provides you with everything you need to do His Will! Are you ready to answer His call?
I also believe that what we consider a “great work” may be different than what the Lord defines as a “great work.”
Yes, reaching thousands of people through an Evangelistic Crusade is a great work. But, being obedient and reaching that one person the Lord has put in your path is also a great work!
Yes, Healing Crusades where thousands of people are healed is a great work! But, laying hands on and praying for that one person seeking God’s healing is also a great work!
I believe the GREAT WORK that the Lord is calling us all to is to LISTEN & OBEY!!
Whatever the Lord is encouraging you to do – THAT is the great work that is waiting for you!
And He does indeed provide you with everything you need to do His will!
Are you ready to answer His call?
RISE UP!
“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.” Philippians 4:8 NIV
We are told in Scripture to take every thought captive and make it obedient to Christ. (2 Corinthians 10:5). Our mind is indeed a “battlefield.” Satan loves it when we focus on everything wrong in our lives. He loves it when we focus on our past mistakes and let those mistakes stop us from going forward in Christ. He loves it when we wallow in self pity and see ourselves as less than who we truly are – who Jesus says we are!
We are more than conquerors; We are chosen and dearly loved; We are the bride of Christ; We are empowered through the Holy Spirit to be who the Lord has called us to be and to do what we have been called to do!
Rise up, warriors of the Most High God! Get out of the pit of despair and frustration and regret and lift up your eyes and see your destiny!!
Cut off the chains that are holding you back!
Shake the dust from your feet and go forward in God’s Love and Power!
Divine Appointment
I had what I would call a “divine appointment” today!
I was shopping in a local clothes store and went to the counter to purchase my items. As the young sales girl walks up to help me –she grabs her back and says, “My back hurts so bad! I’ve taken all kinds of medicine and nothing helps!”
(Well, the Lord opened the door-so I walked through.) I asked if I could pray for her back and she enthusiastically said, “Yes!”
We held hands and I prayed for her right at the counter. Need I say it was out loud. 😃.
When I was done, she was so thankful, and as I left I said, “I believe the Lord will continue to heal your back as you are working today!”
Ah Lord! Thank you for this precious encounter! May this young lady come face-to-face with Your healing Power and Love! In Jesus’ Name, Amen!
More Than You Can Handle!
I see so many times people making the statement, “God doesn’t give you more than you can handle.” Actually this is NOT a true statement! I understand why people say it. They are trying to make someone who is going through a hard time feel better. So they will be encouraged that God knows they can “handle it.”
But, God DOES give us (or allows) us to have more than we can handle on our own so we will realize we need Him to do it!
If we can handle everything on our own – we don’t need Him. If you look at the Scriptures, you will see many, many examples of people doing amazing feats that they would be incapable of handling “on their own.”
Whatever you are going through…God is MORE THAN ABLE to see you through it! He is with you every step of the way!
PENTECOST SUNDAY
PENTECOST SUNDAY
Acts 2:1-21
Come Holy Wind…Come Holy Fire…may we declare the wonders of God in boldness and power! May our sons and daughters prophesy! May our young men see visions and our old men dream dreams! May ALL your people prophesy and may ALL who call on the name of the Lord be saved!
Pour out Your Spirit upon us, O God! May we radiate with the power of the Holy Spirit within us and around us! Set Your Church on fire, O God, so our hearts will burn with love for those that do not know you!
Blow on the smoldering embers of our hearts and bring us to a roaring blaze of Your power and love! We wait with open hearts, open spirits, and open arms!
Come Holy Spirit!!

Take That Step!
What is the Lord calling you to do? Take that step of faith! He is stepping with you!
HE LOVES YOU!
As I was walking into Walmart after church one day, I found myself entering on the heels of four teenage boys – laughing and decked out in low-riding jeans and tattoos.
I found myself overwhelmed with the Love of God for them. So much so, that I felt that I should tell them how much He loved them.
But, as we walked into the main entrance and began to separate, I kept silent. They went to the left and I went to the right.
Feeling a little guilty, I said to the Lord, “Okay, if You want me to tell them You love them…bring them across my path again, Lord!”
Well, within 10 minutes, there they were walking almost beside me as I was going down an aisle!
I walked into the middle of them, smiled, and said, “As I was walking behind you as we were coming into the store, I was overwhelmed with the Love that God has for you! He wants you to know that He loves you very much! Have a great day!”
As I was walking away, I heard one of them yell after me, “Thank you!”
Later, as I was in the car, I began thinking that I should have talked to them longer. I should have found out if they knew Jesus. I should have…
But, then the Lord interrupted my thoughts. I heard Him say in His quiet, loving voice, “No, I just wanted them to know I loved them.“
Sometimes we try and complicate and over-think things. Sometimes He just wants us to let people know that He loves them…
