My Prayer For This Blog

This song tells my prayer for this blog.   It is my prayer that this blog be all about God.   Not about me.   Let only the words of God be heard and the vision of God be seen.   My prayer is that it is a source of edification and exhortation to whomever God sends to this site.    My prayer is that everyone who comes to the site will increase in knowledge and understanding and that they will also use it as a tool to edify someone else by leaving comments and words of encouragement.    Amen....

"Not Me Lord, YOU"

Ministered By Bishop Paul Morton

Are You Passing On The Vision?

If you were to leave today (whether it be to relocate to another place or to go home to be with the Lord)....what would those around you do tomorrow?   What have they learned from you?   What vision have you imparted?   To your children, to your co-workers, to your family, to your friends.   What impact have you made on those around you to encourage and influence them to go in a "God Direction" for their lives?

David was anointed king over Israel.   God gave David the vision on how to build the temple of the Lord.   Although David made preparation to build the temple, he died before the temple was built.   But because he had imparted and was an influence to his son (Solomon)......Solomon was able to complete the work that his father had began.   What you have to understand is that the vision was given to the father.....but the work was completed by the son.    Sound familiar.   God had a vision for our lives and He allowed His son to complete the sacrifice that was needed in order for the vision to come to pass.

That's the pattern God wants us to follow.   He wants us to make an impact.   An impact is full of power.   It is noticeable.   It brings about change.....a difference.   An impact is necessary in case God changes the direction of our lives, or should I say, as God reveals the direction He has already designated for our lives.     Always remember that although God may give a vision to one person, there are others connected to that vision to help bring it to pass.

Don't take for granted your "Jabez Encounters" today.   There are no "me" moments in God.   Everything that you do and everything that you say will make an impact on someone.....even if it's yourself.   The question is are you laying out the pattern that God has given you before those around you so that they will be able to complete the work that God wants done in the earth?

"Sometimes I Cry"

Ministered By Jason Crabb



What Or Who Persuades You?

How truly committed are you to the things of God?   If God tells you to do something .... how committed are you really?   Are you committed to do it....no matter what?   No matter what it requires of you.   If it requires you getting up when everyone else is sleep?   If it requires you sacrificing when you only have a little?   If it requires you shutting down the tv?   If it requires you giving up unhealthy relationships and friendships that bring about compromise in your life?   If it requires you to give?  

The thing about commitment is .... it takes you out of the norm.   Your way of doing things.   It puts you in a place of "requirement".   A place where something is necessary.   A place of obligation.   You have to go beyond your norm.   When you tell God that you are committed to Him, you will have to go beyond your norm and be completely obligated to Him.

Today is the day of salvation.   The day of "soteria".   The Greek word soteria means....deliverance, preservation, safety, and salvation.   God has delivered you.   He has preserved you.   He has made you safe.   What will you do for Him.   Will you be "totally committed" to His plan, His purpose, His life?   Are you willing to let go and let God?   Let Him be the driving force of everything you do, everything you say, and every relationship you have.  

When you are persuaded, you are moved based on the plea or belief of something or someone else.   Let your only persuasion come from God.

Be Used Today ... Make A "God Impact"

What all is God trying to do today?   What is it He wants to accomplish through you today?   We need to wake up with an expectancy of accomplishing something in Christ today.   There was not one day that Jesus walked the earth that He didn't impact someone else's life.   Whether it was through bringing about a healing, praying for someone, teaching or encouragement.    We have to get to that place.   The place where we live our lives in line with the life of Jesus.   The place where our sole determined purpose is to express and display Christ in the earth.   The place where we lay hands on the sick and the sick recover.   The place where we provide a word in due season and lives are changed.   The place where we speak the word and things around us line up with what we are saying.

You can never get to this place if you walk in fear.  If you walk in resistance.   Resistance to what God is telling you to do.   The word is instant and it requires instant obedience from you.   It requires that you obey God without second guessing what He is trying to do.   Fear is rooted in doubt.   It questions whether God can or will accomplish a thing.   God wants us to cast down fear.   In other words, to cast down all doubt.   He wants us to walk in faith.   Faith in what He is saying.   Our "immediate response" to the things that God tells us to do.....says we believe Him and that we believe He will do just what He says.   

In order to impact another persons life for Christ, you have to be sure in what and who you believe.   Your conviction in what you believe is what you impart to those around you.   To impart means to transmit or pass on.    We have to be sure that we are passing on faith and not fear and doubt.

Know that God wants to use you today to show someone His love, His faith, His healing, His truth, His trust, HIS LIFE.   Be a living epistle today.....a book open...to be read by all men.   Be a mirror today.....let God be reflected through you.   Be a witness today.....bring confirmation to someone else about who God is and what He wants to do in their lives.   Be a road map today.....to give someone direction on how to get to the place of trusting God.   Be a light today......to help shed light so that someone can get out of the dark places they are experiencing.   Be used today......for God's plan, God's purpose, and God's will.

"It's All God"

Ministered By The Soul Seekers (featuring Marvin Winans)

Are You Completely Committed Or Do You Have Idols In Your Life?

God wants us completely committed.   Are you completely committed to the things of God?   Are you committed to the point that you can't be moved?   When the trials of life surround you.....are you still  committed or do you compromise?   

Have you ever thought that the trials of life only come to test what you "say" you are committed to?   The opportunities to lie, to cheat, to curse, to listen to the wrong thing, to compromise only comes to see if  you will still stand on what you "say" you believe.   Belief has to go further than what you are saying.   Total commitment is backed up by your actions.   What you do.

Opportunities will always come to test you.   There is always available opportunities for you to do the wrong thing.  Whether it be speaking wrong or acting wrong.  But we have to begin to align our actions with what God wants.   We have to make choices based on His word and His desire.

There is a harvest for everything we say and do.   Fruit will be produced.   Whether it be fruit of the flesh or fruit of the spirit.   We have to remember that the Word has already told us that any decision we make in the flesh will always lead to sexual impurity, idolatry (putting something else before God), hatred, discord (no peace), jealousy, selfishness, etc.   Whereas, the decisions we make based on "God's desire", the Spirit, will always lead to the fruits of the Spirit.....love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control.  

Every decision that we make in life is based on our desires in life.   Ask yourself today what do you desire more?   Do you desire to be in God's presence more than you desire money, a new car, or the approval of man?   Everything is based on your love relationship with God.   Do you love God enough not to compromise your relationship with Him?   Remember, anything that leads you to the fruit of the flesh instead of the fruit of the spirit can be classified an idol in your life because you have allowed it to become before God and your love for Him.    ANYTHING THAT TAKES THE PLACE OF GOD IN YOUR LIFE IS AN IDOL.....

"My Destiny"

Ministered By Stephen Hurd

It's Time To Abide....

It's time to stop running from God.   It's time to abide.   Abide means to rest, to stay, to take up residence.   To take up residence in His word, in His plan, in His purpose for your life.   To not be moved.   No matter what it looks like.   To know that God is there and that you have shelter from the "elements of life" as long as you stay where He is.

So many times we run when things come against our life.   We run because we think we can avoid conflict, or avoid challenge.   It's okay to run if you are running to God.   The problem is, we tend to run from God.  From His plan, from His purpose, and from His safety.   We expose ourselves.   We get in a place where we give the enemy complete access.   Complete access to our soul.   Our mind, our will, and our emotions.  

It's tme to learn how to abide.   We have to do what the Word says.  God wants us to stand still and know that He is God.   To know that whatever is coming against our lives cannot overtake our lives.   To know that no power on earth is greater than who He is.    He wants us to dwell in His presence and know that there is safety in Him.

"Our God Is Greater"

Ministered By Israel & New Breed

Don't Limit Your Prayer To What You Know....

There is so much that God wants to do in you and through you.  He wants to use you to fulfill His plan and His purpose on the earth.  But what are you praying for?   Are you praying for things or are you praying that God reveal His will to you?    Are you praying out His plan?   Not only the plan that He has for you ....but the plan that He has for the world.  

In many cases, we have no idea what God desires of us.   In what capacity or area that He wants to use us .   In order to totally fulfill God's purpose in the earth, we need to begin to change the way we pray.   Instead of directing our prayers to God for things that we can physically see or feel that we can change....we have to begin to pray to God for direction.   We have to begin to understand that prayer goes far beyond the "now".   It goes far beyond our physical senses....  PRAYER IS SPIRITUAL AND IT CHANGES THE PHYSICAL   Prayer carries within it the power to "touch the future" even in the present.   It has within it the power to "touch nations" even while you are in your house.    We have limited our prayers to what we can physically see and touch and God desires that we use it to change the world.   

God is all powerful.....it is only man that limits the power of God.....
