Garment!

Garment!

What are you wearing today?

Matt 14: 36 And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.

Isa 61:10 I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.

Isa 61:3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.

Ga 4:1 Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;

What are you wearing today?

Whether we are like the woman with the issue of blood, pressing in to Jesus, to touch the hem of His garment today, clothed in blood and shame, or if we have perfected holiness and obedience in our gift and calling, and are walking as Peter walked in the earth:

Ac 5:15 Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them. 16 There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one.

It is still all about Jesus. It is His power displayed in the earth, the living, breathing, person of the Holy Spirit acting eternally upon the temporal condition of man.

We know, we grow, and faith to faith, strength to strength, we learn to obey Him, Emmanuel, God with us, and the more we learn of Him, and His presence with us, the more of His glory moves through us.

Whether the smallest spiritual child, or the mightiest, most seasoned Christian warrior and deliverer, its still all about Jesus. He is Lord, and we walk with Him, talk with and learn to be like Him, we glorify His name.

There is a place of commanded blessing, where brethren in unity dwell, there where the oil of anointing is flowing, where we live as one!

From the childlike faith to press in and touch the hem of His garment, to the place of spiritual maturity where we walk in our authority, wearing our robes of righteousness, and garments of praise, so that people are pressing in to receive their miracles wrought at our hands, by faith in the One Who can never lie, nor fail!

Miracles, God glorifying miracles, are my intent and purpose today.

In many areas of my world, I feel like the woman with the issue of blood, dirty, humbled, and pressing in for my own needs to be met.

In others, as I see myself seated in heavenly places in Him,

Deut 28:1 ¶ And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:

Ephesians 2:6 (AMP)

⁶ And He raised us up together with Him [when we believed], and seated us with Him in the heavenly places, [because we are] in Christ Jesus,

I sit with Jesus, high above the earth, exercising His authority over governments of men, and smashing demonic principalities over nations, shepherding them into His plans and blessings for them today, in governmental prayer.

Yet, I simply, and will always, love Jesus. Again longing to spend time with Him, to walk with Him, to hear His voice, to sit at His feet, and learn wisdom for this next and upcoming season of leadership I see on the horizon of time, there, but not yet arrived…

Where are you at with Him today?

What are You wearing?

It’s all good news, He loves us, and will never leave nor forsake us, and Holy Spirit longs to be known, yeilded to , and to display His power through you!

Jas 4:5 Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?

James 4:5 (AMP)
5 Or do you suppose that the Scripture is speaking to no purpose that says, The Spirit Whom He has caused to dwell in us yearns over us and He yearns for the Spirit [to be welcome] with a jealous love?

I’m hungry to receive that jealous love today, for my life, and for the people He has called me to see and understand, and minister miracles to, today.

Let’s Pray:
‘Father, I press in to You today, knowing my great needs, my hungers, and my utter helplessness, apart from You. Touch me! Fill me! Meet with Me! Do Miracles in my life and family! Meet all of our needs with savage acts of Your power and love! Now Father, I turn my eyes towards the world You created, the earth some call mother, for from its dirt, you created Adam, and breathed upon him, Your breath of life. The earth, that is groaning in travail today, in these last days, under the weight of sin, and in anticipation of me, and my friends reading this, to take our place, in Your authority, and to bring that which Jesus shed blood has wrought! Forgiveness, deliverance from the curse, healing, deliverance out of the domain of devils and darkness, into the kingdom of the Son of Your, and our love.

Jesus You are Lord! We would glorify Your name today Lord, as King of love in the earth, as again, we press towards the mark of Your high calling, displaying Your wonders for the glory and fame of Your name. Have mercy upon the earth today Lord Jesus, and anoint us freshly in Your power, glory, and anointing, that we can make this day, a better day, for the people you have called us to love, and to Shepherd into Your purposes, Amen!

Proposed 28th Amendment

I am not normally a political poster, but this makes sense:

28th Amendment, 35 States and Counting       

    

It will take you less than a minute to read this. If you agree, please pass it on.  It’s an idea whose time has come to deal with this self serving situation:

    

Children of Congress members do not have to pay back their college student loans.

    

Staffers of Congress family members are also exempt from having to payback student 

loans.

    

Members of Congress can retire at full pay after only one term.

    

Members of Congress have exempted themselves from many of the laws they have passed, under which ordinary citizens must live.

    

For example, they are exempt from any fear of prosecution for sexual harassment.

    

And as the latest example, they have exempted themselves from Healthcare Reform, in 

all of its aspects.

    

We must not tolerate an elite class of such people, elected as public servants and then 

putting themselves above the law.

    

I truly don’t care if they are Democrat, Republican, Independent, or whatever.  The 

self-serving must stop.

    

Governors of 35 states have filed suit against the Federal Government for imposing unlawful burdens upon their states. It only takes 38 (of the 50) States to convene a Constitutional Convention.

    

Each person that receives this will forward it on to 20 people, in three days most people in 

The United States of America will have the message.

    

Proposed 28th Amendment to the United States  

    

Constitution:

“Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators and/or Representatives; and, Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators and/or Representatives that does not apply equally to the Citizens of the United States …”

A Cry for America

A Cry for America

At a prayer meeting some time ago, I had a thought come back to my remembrance, of a similar gathering some years ago, at La Vie Abundant, in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, as we stood in the gap in intercession for Quebec to remain part of Canada, when they were determined to leave, and join France. We prayed all night, and the political vote went 51/49% the next day, in favor of them staying, and the premier of Quebec was struck down with a flesh eating cancer, whereby his leg was amputated. The Word of the Lord came in another meeting, where we were praying for his healing, ‘So you want to remove one of my legs (Quebec)?” We knew this was the judgement of God, and a fearful thing.

Canada then got a Prime Minister claiming to be Christian, and who radically supported Israel! (Stephen Harper) The sense I had in that meeting that these are solemn times, for the United States of America, that leaders who will not repent of their godless agendas will be either removed, or struck down as a sign and a wonder to bring the fear of the Lord back to America.

There has been a prophecy for some years that Canada, and the maple leaf that symbolizes our country, would be as the leaves of the tree bringing healing to the nations. I am one of those leaves, sent here to bring healing to the United States of America, through violent faith, and intense intercession before God on behalf of this great land.

Tremendous sense of destiny and responsibility, to whom much is given, much is required, but I am well able to possess the land, and see the glory of God again revealed in this great country. For generations, America has been one of the greatest missionary sending nations on the planet. Now, in her hour of spiritual peril, her harvest is beginning to manifest, as missionaries are hearing from heaven, and coming here to preach the gospel, and to help stem the flood of wickedness attempting to defile and destroy this great bastion of freedom to the earth. As always, the gates of hell shall not prevail against us, the blood bought army of the living, loving, Almighty God. Everywhere we set our foot to tread, shall become holy ground! Eze 22:30 And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.

This was the word in Ezekiel’s day, but not today. The Lord has found many to stand in the gap, a great company of victorious saints and brokenhearted intercessors, determined to see America restored to her birthright and heavenly calling. I am honored to take my place among you. If you are willing to be a part, and bow your knee before Jesus, and allow Him to break your heart, with the things that break His, simply comment upon this post and I believe the fire of God shut up in my bones will cause a savage in-breaking of His love to manifest in your life, for does He not make His ministers a flame of fire? Get so on fire for Jesus, that people come to watch you burn!

Let’s Pray:

‘Do it again Father! Light a fire of Your presence and passion inside of my soul. Ignite me Jesus with fresh Holy Spirit fire and zeal for Your kingdom! Amen’

Warrior Strength

Warrior Strength!

Ps 33:16
The best-equipped army cannot save a king,
nor is great strength enough to save a warrior.

17 Don’t count on your warhorse to give you victory—
for all its strength, it cannot save you.

18 But the Lord watches over those who fear him,
those who rely on his unfailing love.

19 He rescues them from death
and keeps them alive in times of famine

It is good to be strong, but strength, weapons, great leadership, and military will not protect and deliver you in the day of battle.

Jesus alone will do that.

Always remember when you see wicked people, that their next heartbeat is only granted them at the hands of their Creator. ‪#‎JesusIsLord‬

1 Corinthians 15:57

But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Remember, faith in the battle will bring victory:

Remember Daivid’s mighty men?

We read of Shammah:

2 Samuel 23:12

But he stood in the midst of the ground, and defended it, and slew the Philistines: and the Lord wrought a great victory.

Remember warrior, Jesus will give victory when we fight for what is right…

Let’s pray:

‘Psalm 144:1

Blessed be the Lord my strength which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight: God Almighty may I stand strong in this generation for You and Your cause, unafraid of wickedness, bold in my faith and my warfare for Jesus. Amen’

 

Do You Talk Too Much?

Do you talk too much?

Proverbs 20:19 (NLT)19 A gossip goes around telling secrets,
so don’t hang around with chatterers

Cell phones!

In my moving and shaking days, I used 6000 minutes/month spinning the dial on my IPhone, and hustling up work for the crews of men working for us. Then, Jesus got ahold of me, and dealt with me about trusting Him for my support, and using His words to get things done, not my effort.

Proverbs 10:19…
In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise

Learned to spend way more time talking to God instead of people. Save a lot on the phone too, because I rarely use more than 300 minutes a month talking to people.

Use your words wisely, and God will watch over them to perform them.

Jesus said: Matthew 12:36

But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.The sense here, is of chatter. Idle words being non-productive, non-working words.

Put Your Words to Work for YOU!

You have been given kingdom authority and responsibility, and you can submit to the Lord, and have Holy Spirit literally create things through you: https://chrisaomministries.wordpress.com/2015/02/05/let-your-spirit-free/

Then, as you use your faith on purpose, with rein of the Holy Spirit upon your mouth, you will discover:

Proverbs 16:13

Righteous lips are the delight of kings; and they love him that speaketh right

You will put a smile on King Jesus face!

He will cause you to rise above your circumstances, and lead and feed many!How?

With your faith-filled words!

Recently, I have spent many days with a pastor, who is also a Christian contractor. I have been greatly blessed by his cell-phone etiquette. He is always loving, courteous, and pleasant on the phone, and brief, to the point, and almost blunt in ending calls. Yet, He has more business than he could possible desire. He knows what He is doing, He is using his time and words correctly, on-purpose, and clearly, God is working with him in it.

Proverbs 10:21

The lips of the righteous feed many:

Let’s Pray:

Father God, set a rein upon my mouth, my words! Holy Spirit, flow through my speech, to create Your plans, provision, and vision for my life and family.  I ask this, knowing I am heard and answered, for I ask in Your name Lord Jesus, Amen’

Should Marijuana be legalized?

1 Corinthians 6:12 (AMP)

¹² Everything is permissible (allowable and lawful) for me; but not all things are helpful (good for me to do, expedient and profitable when considered with other things). Everything is lawful for me, but I will not become the slave of anything or be brought under its power

I was speaking with an obviously bright young man yesterday, who was advocating for the legalization of marijuana.

Reminds me of teenagers who refuse to understand that living in my house, there are curfews, and rules that will be obeyed if they want to continue to live there.

This issue before God, is not: ‘Can we smoke pot?” (The answer is obviously yes)

Rather, is it helpful, and more importantly :Why do want to smoke it?”

Clearly, there are some short and long term side effects to marijuana use, they we have probably not thought through:http://www.drugfreeworld.org/drugfacts/marijuana/short-and-long-term-effects.html

This scientist is convinced of the harmful effects, after 20 years of study:http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2783111/The-terrible-truth-cannabis-Expert-s-devastating-20-year-study-finally-demolishes-claims-smoking-pot-harmless.html

If we claim to love Jesus, and have accepted His Lordship over our lives, the issue is not whether we can still do sin, rather, in light of who He is, and what He has done, and the high level of honor He has granted to us as royal citizens and children of His kingdom, that we would still lower ourselves to alcohol, marijuana, and recreational pharmaceuticals, seeking from the Creation, that which should only legitimately come from our Creator.

I want to serve Him with my WHOLE Body, Soul, Mind and Spirit, not merely handing back to him, damaged goods after I have destroyed my body and mind through drug use. He is love, and will take us wherever we are at, and begin the process of healing, redemption and recreation in us, but like the old proverb goes, “It is easier to raise a healthy child, than repair a damaged adult’. There are clearly harmful side effects from marijuana use, Jesus came to give us life, not death and destruction – Live and become all you are created to be.

If you want to learn more about what the Word of God says about this, please read these articles I wrote:

https://chrisaomministries.wordpress.com/2014/04/02/governed-inside/

So, legalization of marijuana is not the real issue, but rather why anyone would want to smoke it…lowering ourselves to mere carnal humanity, with a plant ruling over a man, instead of ruling and reigning in Christ, with a man ruling over a plant.

For the record, I am against it, simply because my experience in running an alcohol/drug treatment has proven that marijuana is clearly a gateway drug, to a life of addictions. I have seen young people use marijuana to avoid reality, and watched as a helpless spectator, as they spent years of their lives getting high, instead of growing, learning, and becoming the people of honor and excellence they were created to be. Presently, a user generally purchases pot and hash, from the same person who sells crack, coke, meth, ecstasy, and harder substances.

Even if it were legalized, the motive for smoking it, is not holy, godly…

I love people, and believe in them. Tobacco and alcohol are legal. Yet where do we find local liquor stores? Usually right next to low income housing or government housing projects. People who are broken, use it to avoid reality, when the truth is, there need to be ministries, and educational opportunities to help people break the cycle of defeat, and to honestly get into a better brighter future.

1 Cor 6:¹⁹ What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

²⁰ For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.

Like tobacco and alcohol, these substances destroy lives. Ever notice that there is always a liquor store near a low-income housing subdivision. It’s like the owners of these establishments prey upon the brokenness of humanity, encouraging them to get drunk, rather than to get up, and make something of their lives. It is another dream stealing, soul sucking trap to devour peoples lives, and I love people, and believe in them. I hate things that destroy them. Marijuana smoke is 20x more toxic than cigarette smoke. THC stays in ones system for 30 days, not just a day or two like alcohol, and there are clear documented reports showing the mental damage pot smoking produces.

http://www.drugabuse.gov/publications/research-reports/marijuana/how-does-marijuana-use-affect-your-brain-body

Let’s Pray:

“Father God, reveal Your love, high and holy calling upon our lives to us. Show us our great worth, and teach our hearts to receive Your presence and the comfort of the Holy Spirit, that meets our true hunger within, not looking to artificial substances, in our search for what only You can give. We ask this, knowing we are heard and answered, for we ask in Your name Lord Jesus.

To Declare His Righteousness!

To Declare HIS righteousness!

The Word of God declares:

Rom 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness

Forgiven, Redeemed, Adopted, made right with God!

This is the confession of every blood-bought, child of the King!

This is right standing with God!

All because of Jesus!

It’s His righteousness, freely given to us, to anyone that would receive it, by faith. We can’t earn it, only obtain it, simply because He loves us!
Yet, though we are royalty, kings and priests before the throne of God, with full access, literally ruling and reigning in Him, over the god of the world, He alone is Lord!

There is indeed rank, order, privilege in the kingdom, and even as Jesus lived only to do the will of our Father, so must we.
Ps 82:1 «A Psalm of Asaph.» God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.
Ps 82:6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.

John 10:34

Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?

John 10:35

If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken

As royalty, we reign, but how quickly we learn obedience!

John 3:²⁷ John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.

We may be children, royal heirs, but we have a Father, who must be obeyed!

Despite the preciousness of His promises, He has a timing, that will be fulfilled in our lives, and sometimes, waiting is an excruciating thing!
Ec 3:11 ¶ He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.

 

NOW, faith is, for He is I AM.
Yet, after we have believed, our very faith, generates a heavenly process, that is magnificent to behold in hindsight….
Yet, during!

Romans 8:²⁹ For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

We learn to be like Jesus, and if we would be like Him:

Hebrews 5:8

Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;

There are levels of intimacy, that can cause such excruciating pain, simply because of the depth of our commitment to love, to believe, to honor, to never compromise the call…
There can be groanings…

Romans 8:26 (KJV)

²⁶ Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

Let’s Pray!
‘Father God, I come boldly before Your throne today, as Your child. Thank you for forgiving, adopting, blessing, and providing for me today! I love you, and would do Your will today. Show me Your glory! Give me grace, to not compromise, nor shrink back from what I know You have spoken to me, no matter what the cost! In Your name I pray Lord Jesus! Amen!

Give in faith!

1 Corinthians 9:11 If we have sown [the seed of] spiritual good among you, [is it too] much if we reap from your material benefits?

1 Corinthians 9:14 [On the same principle] the Lord directed that those who publish the good news (the Gospel) should live (get their maintenance) by the Gospel.

Paul goes on to say, that he did not use his position as a minister of the gospel to take up offerings, rather he worked, making tents, to support himself. You might notice here, that Paul was not married, nor did he have children. Family responsibilities take time, and just as you bust a move on your job to provide for your family, I work every bit as hard, doing this, faithful to the Lord in prayer and the ministry of His Word, to you.

I will never charge for this: it my responsibility to God, my calling. Freely I have been given, now, I freely give…

As you give, hear Holy Spirit what to give, and honestly expect God to reward you for your giving.

Matt 10: 41 He who receives and welcomes and accepts a prophet because he is a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward, and he who receives and welcomes and accepts a righteous man because he is a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward. 42 And whoever gives to one of these little ones [in rank or influence] even a cup of cold water because he is My disciple, surely I declare to you, he shall not lose his reward.

I am a five-fold ministry gift and office – this is my life – I pray, I hear, I write, and wonderful things happen. You have your job description, I have mine – this is mine….

I have ‘see through’ faith for you, in this: Gal 3: 9 So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.

I believe I have a responsibility before God to be like Jesus, in every offering I receive. I receive it with thanksgiving, just like Jesus did the little boys lunch.

Then, because I walk and live by faith according to the blessing of Abraham, I believe that God will take your seed sown, and multiply it, according to what the blessing of Abraham promises:

Genesis 22:17 In blessing I will bless you and in multiplying I will multiply your descendants like the stars of the heavens and like the sand on the seashore. And your Seed (Heir) will possess the gate of His enemies

It has been a joy to me, to see the hand of the living God act in the lives of those of you who have supported us this year!

Many have seen tremendous blessing come into your households, and for this we give thanks, and give Jesus all the glory!

Leave a Legacy – Your Leadership Changes the Generations to Come!

Leadership responsibilities:

Success without a successor is failure!

suc·ces·sor

səkˈsesər/

noun

noun: successor; plural noun: successors

1. a person or thing that succeeds another.

   “Schoenberg saw himself as a natural successor to the German romantic school”

   synonyms:

   heir (apparent), inheritor,next-in-line “Mary was the rightful successor to the English throne”

   antonyms:

   predecessor

If you are successor to the throne, that means you’re next in line when the current royal has to step down. The successor takes over when someone gives up a position or title or when something becomes outdated.

The noun successor was first used in the 13th century to mean “one who comes after.” It’s often used in reference to a royal court, where the successor is usually the king’s eldest son. If something happens to the U.S. president, the vice president is the designated successor and will assume the position of head of government. It seems like every day there’s a new and improved computer, a successor that replaces an earlier model.

Psalm 102:18 Let this be written for a future generation, that a people not yet created may praise the Lord:

So we discover that actions done in this life, can affect generations to come:

2 Kings 10:30
The Lord said to Jehu, “Because you have done well in accomplishing what is right in my eyes and have done to the house of Ahab all I had in mind to do, your descendants will sit on the throne of Israel to the fourth generation.”

Without doing an in depth study, we see here where leaders make decisions that can bless or curse not only their time here in the earth, but also generations to come. Processes can be set in motion that have repercussions, either good or bad, for not only our children, but also our grandchildren, and people not yet created.

In this passage of Scripture we see how Hezekiah lived out his leadership, only in the NOW, living only for his lifetime.

2 Kings 20: 12 At that time Marduk-Baladan son of Baladan king of Babylon sent Hezekiah letters and a gift, because he had heard of Hezekiah’s illness. 13 Hezekiah received the envoys and showed them all that was in his storehouses—the silver, the gold, the spices and the fine olive oil—his armory and everything found among his treasures. There was nothing in his palace or in all his kingdom that Hezekiah did not show them.
14 Then Isaiah the prophet went to King Hezekiah and asked, “What did those men say, and where did they come from?”
“From a distant land,” Hezekiah replied. “They came from Babylon.”
15 The prophet asked, “What did they see in your palace?”
“They saw everything in my palace,” Hezekiah said. “There is nothing among my treasures that I did not show them.”
16 Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Hear the word of the LORD: 17 The time will surely come when everything in your palace, and all that your predecessors have stored up until this day, will be carried off to Babylon. Nothing will be left, says the LORD. 18 And some of your descendants, your own flesh and blood who will be born to you, will be taken away, and they will become eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.”

19 “The word of the LORD you have spoken is good,” Hezekiah replied. For he thought, “Will there not be peace and security in my lifetime?”

Who knows the pressure and turmoil he had faced, so let’s not be too hard on him, but in his unwillingness to cry out to God one last time, he sentenced his decendants to captivity and emasculation! UGH!

I don’t know about you, but I love my children and grandchildren more than that, and this country that has adopted me as my home, the United States of America. Let it be known, that I will not quietly accept the status quo, and live only for peace and security in my lifetime, but I am aggressively praying, working, and building towards a better future for my children and grandchildren, that the blessing of Almighty God might continue to rest upon not only my family, but this great nation.

How many are willing to lift up a cry, once again, of passionate prayer for revival, for righteousness, for virtue, holiness, and truth displayed once again?

I love the words of Joshua, as his life was approaching the twilight of his leadership:
Joshua 24:14-16
The Message (MSG)
14 “So now: Fear GOD. Worship him in total commitment. Get rid of the gods your ancestors worshiped on the far side of The River (the Euphrates) and in Egypt. You, worship GOD.
15 “If you decide that it’s a bad thing to worship GOD, then choose a god you’d rather serve—and do it today. Choose one of the gods your ancestors worshiped from the country beyond The River, or one of the gods of the Amorites, on whose land you’re now living. As for me and my family, we’ll worship GOD.”

Sure, I’m tired, it has been a tough road. I’m sure yours, child of God, has been no picnic either.

Yet, I am still breathing, and my faith is still alive, active, and making headlines in heaven. Let’s continue to fight our fight of faith, standing boldly, passionately for Jesus, until we finally breath our last here, or He comes and splits the Eastern sky, to come get us.

Come on saints! Let’s press, for a righteous, honorable America again. Full of humility, truth, justice, love, grace, wisdom, and the resulting favor, prosperity, and manifold blessing righteous living bring!

Let’s pray!

‘Father, I undergird my friends here, with my prayer, my faith, and my passionate zeal and trust in You! Touch us again, reveal Yourself again, revive us, to stay not only focused, but fully led of you, today, and every day, in Your name I pray Lord Jesus, Amen’

Take Away the Wicked from Before the King!

Take away the wicked from before the king!
Pr 25:4 Take away the dross from silver,
And it will go to the silversmith for jewelry.
5 Take away the wicked from before the king,
And his throne will be established in righteousness.
Psalm 1 New King James Version (NKJV)
The Way of the Righteous
v1 Blessed is the man
Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,

Here is a leadership principal I have not heard preached much.
