Notes from tonights sermon I heard from the International Faith Conference
I am Wealthy!! When I ask according to Your will I know that I have what I have asked!! It is your will that I not owe anyone but the debt to love them!! It is your will above all things, that I prosper and be in health even as my soul prospers!! AND MY SOUL DOES PROSPER!!!! Financial prosperity isn't for selfishness. It is for TOTAL FREEDOM!!! It is for OVERFLOW!!! Job 22:28 Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways. Heb 11:1 NOW FAITH is the assurance (the confirmation, [a]the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses]. Mark 5: John 6:21 Then they were quite willing and glad for Him to come into the boat. And now the boat went at once to the land they had steered toward. [And immediately they reached the shore toward which they had been slowly making their way.] They moved IMMEDIATELY into the destination that in the natural they had slowly been making their way. Supernaturally God took dominion over time!! GOD is the master of TIME And SO AM I!!! It's time to SPEAK THINGS INTO EXISTENCE!!! Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways. It's time for me to PROSPER!!! SO THAT IN ALL THINGS AND AT ALL TIMES I CAN ABOUND UNTO EVERY GOOD WORK AND HAVE PLENTY TO SPARE!! OVERFLOW!!!!! Isaiah 61:4 And they shall rebuild the ancient ruins; they shall raise up the former desolations and renew the ruined cities, the devastations of many generations. 5Aliens shall stand [ready] and feed your flocks, and foreigners shall be your plowmen

and your vinedressers. 6But you shall be called the priests of the Lord; people will speak of you as the ministers of our God. You shall eat the wealth of the nations, and the glory [once that of your captors] shall be yours. 7Instead of your [former] shame you shall have a twofold recompense; instead of dishonor and reproach [your people] shall rejoice in their portion. Therefore in their land they shall possess double [what they had forfeited]; everlasting joy shall be theirs. From This day forward I hear the Holy Ghost as well as I hear my own prayer John 16:33I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.] TODAY!!!!! TODAY IS THE DAY OF THE MANIFESTATION OF THE GOLDEN AGE IN MY LIFE STARTING RIGHT NOW!!!!

Is Jesus Lord?
When we get saved, we accept Jesus as our Savior and Lord. But most people just keep coming back to Him as our savior. "Lord, save me!!" "Lord, save me!!" When we get in trouble we want a Savior but we could keep out of the trouble in the first place if we would make Him Lord. Christ in His infinite mercy will save you and get you out of the trouble, but the problem is us. We keep slipping back into the issues that we need rescuing from and never move forward. Consider the Israelites. The distance in the wilderness to the promised land could have easily been walked within the span of a couple of weeks max.

So why did it take them 40 years? Because they kept retracing their steps. They kept going around in circles. In the same way, we keep going around and around in circles, needing to be rescued over and over from ourselves and the positions we put ourselves into. All the while we are missing out on possessing the promised land. We have so many promises that have been given to us about our destiny, both in the word and through His profits. But because we refuse to honor our claim that we want Him to be our Lord we keep going back to square one. As a result we have become overgrown spiritual infants. When we are infants and we soil our diaper it's not a big deal, in fact to a new parent it can be endearing. But if you are 30 years old and you're still in diapers. Well that's just plain creepy!! In the same thought, we have a bunch of spiritual infants that should be taking the world by storm by now as full grown men and women of God, but instead they are still in diapers and it just ain't cute anymore!! There's a world dying to know Him, dying in sin and suffering and we can't see past our own needs and our own troubles. (Hebrews 5:11-14 AMP) Concerning this we have much to say which is hard to explain, since you have become dull in your [spiritual] hearing and sluggish [even slothful in achieving spiritual insight]. For even though by this time you ought to be teaching others, you actually need someone to teach you over again the very first principles of Gods Word. You have come to need milk, not solid food. For everyone who continues to feed on milk is obviously inexperienced and unskilled in the doctrine of righteousness (of conformity to the divine will in purpose, thought, and action), for he is a mere infant [not able to talk yet]! But solid food is for full-grown men, for those whose senses and mental faculties are trained by practice to discriminate and distinguish between what is morally good and noble and what is evil and contrary either to divine or human law. The problem is selfishness!! And the root is fear!! We are living to ourselves and as a result we can only see our needs and from our perspective.

So how do we gain ground in Christ? The first step is to realize that we are not our own anymore. Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are Gods. (1 Corinthians 6:19, 20 NKJV) Look at it this way. When someone joins the army they give up their right to choose for themselves. They become property of the government they are serving. If they are called to war can they say, "I don't want to?" If they are sent to be stationed in Iraq can they say, "No, I think I'll go to Hawaii?" If they do, they will be dishonorably discharged. Don't we sing, "I'm in the Lord's army?" Do we not call ourselves warriors in the Lord's service? So then i ask you, why do you work at your job? No I'm not saying for you to quit your job, I'm asking what is your motivation? Is it to earn a living? Because if it is, then you are doing it for the wrong reason. You should be working where you work because that's where the Lord told you to work and that'd where He can use you best. You should be living where you live because that's where He told you to live and that's where He can use you best. If you are single you should get married if God wants you married not because you're lonely but because God can use you best in that capacity. You are not your own!! You have been bought with the most costly price and any part that you are keeping to yourself is robbery and you are embezzling from God!! The problem is that people have been only looking at half of the contract as receiving Christ as their Savior and Lord. You cannot live a victorious life without taking the whole contract. You were created to be an underlord. You were created to have dominion over the world but you were created to be under the dominion of the Father and of righteousness. When Adam sinned he was promised his own dominion. You see it was selfishness that caused him to eat of the fruit. He was promised that if he ate the fruit that he would be like God, in essence he would be out from under God's dominion and would be his own God, self reliant. But it was a lie!! And when he ate of the fruit, he fell under the dominion of satan and of sin. Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that ones slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness? (Romans 6:16 NKJV) Jesus came as a man. Because it was required that since man sinned, man would have to

pay. But because He came as a man. He could not be of His own accord. He had to be sent. And on earth He had to be under authority. That is why what the centurion said was such a statement of faith. For I also am a man placed under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to one, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my servant, Do this, and he does it. (Luke 7:8 NKJV) He was saying that he realized that just like Jesus he was under authority of the government he served and that government had given him authority over his men and under the authority vested in him by that government he could say "go" and they would have to go. He also saw that Jesus was under authority of God so he was moving in the authority that was placed on Him by God, and under that authority He could speak the word and the devil or sickness would have to leave. What we are seeing, maybe for the first time is the source of the power with which Jesus was moving in on this earth. And it is the same source and reason for us. Jesus kept saying, I do nothing of my own accord I am able to do nothing from Myself [independently, of My own accord--but only as I am taught by God and as I get His orders]. Even as I hear, I judge [I decide as I am bidden to decide. As the voice comes to Me, so I give a decision], and My judgment is right (just, righteous), because I do not seek or consult My own will [I have no desire to do what is pleasing to Myself, My own aim, My own purpose] but only the will and pleasure of the Father Who sent Me. (John 5:30 AMP) And for us: I am the Vine; you are the branches. Whoever lives in Me and I in him bears much (abundant) fruit. However, apart from Me [cut off from vital union with Me] you can do nothing. (John 15:5 AMP) Jesus did not come for His own will. He came on a mission and every moment of His life was to fulfill that mission. What was His mission? To obey His Father. And because He obeyed His Father, He abided in His fathers love. And in so doing He walked in complete victory!! If you keep My commandments [if you continue to obey My instructions], you will abide in My love and live on in it,

just as I have obeyed My Fathers commandments and live on in His love. (John 15:10 AMP) Faith and obedience work hand in hand to give you complete victory. You cannot have perfect faith without complete obedience. To the level you are in submission to Him is the level of faith you will have. When the disciples asked Jesus to increase their faith, He responded The apostles said to the Lord, Increase our faith (that trust and confidence that spring from our belief in God). And the Lord answered, If you had faith (trust and confidence in God) even [so small] like a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, Be pulled up by the roots, and be planted in the sea, and it would obey you. Will any man of you who has a servant plowing or tending sheep say to him when he has come in from the field, Come at once and take your place at the table? Will he not instead tell him, Get my supper ready and gird yourself and serve me while I eat and drink; then afterward you yourself shall eat and drink? Is he grateful and does he praise the servant because he did what he was ordered to do? Even so on your part, when you have done everything that was assigned and commanded you, say, We are unworthy servant [possessing no merit, for we have not gone beyond our obligation]; we have [merely] done what was our duty to do. (Luke 17:5-10 AMP) What Jesus was saying is, it's not your job to do things in your own strength and under your own authority. You heal the sick out of obedience. You raise the dead because I told you to!! This is my mandate and you are doing it out of obedience to me so it is my authority that accomplishes these things. Many times the reason we don't step out in faith is because we are afraid of failing and of shaming ourself. This is a selfish motive. We are not our own, it is not our name we are doing these things in. Do we really understand what we mean when we say, "In the name of Jesus?" We are saying that we are doing this for the Glory of Jesus. We are doing it in His authority and it is for His benefit we are doing this. Therefore it is His name on the line. He is able to back what He has called you to do. Your job is to obey, in the name of Jesus!! We are not our own!! Yet we have been living selfishly and as a result have been impotent for the Kingdom of God!! You cannot serve two masters God and Money!! Do you know why the love of money is the root of all evil. Because it's promise is the same as the fruit in the garden. If you have it, you will be like God and won't need Him anymore. It takes dominion over you as you seek it to be your source instead of God. That is why Jesus said, seek first. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. (Matthew 6:33 KJV)

Using the example of the army again. When you turn yourself over to the army and become the property of the government whose army this is, do you need a second job? In fact, are you allowed to have a second job? No because if you did, you would have divided interests. Instead, when you become that army's property they provide everything for you. The food you eat, the clothes you wear, the housing you live in, everything that you need is provided for you. Your only job in life is to obey your commanding officer. In the same way, as you seek first the Kingdom of God, and make it your life's work to obey your commanding officer (Jesus) all of your needs are met. In fact The added benefit that makes this such an amazing deal is that your King is your Father and your commanding officer is your Big Brother. So it is not a loathsome service. The fact is that you are a slave to Him but these are not heavy chains. The only binding cords are love!! Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. (Matthew 11:28-30 KJV) It turns out this position will elevate you higher then you could ever lift yourself. In that whole time that you are losing yourself to Him, He is losing Himself to you. There is no loss, only gain. The best correlation I have received for this is a wedding ring. Think about it, that ring is a yoke, binding you to that other person. You are not your own anymore, you are that person's and that person is yours. But it is such a glorious burden that every one around you that doesn't have one, wants what you've got!! They want their own yoke!! In the same way, you are giving up yourself to your husband. You are forsaking your life to yourself and are taking a life lived unto Him. But in that same moment you know that He has taken the same vow and is living only unto you!! What a wondrous burden!! What a marvelous yoke!! And when others see the glory of your burden, they will want it for themselves as well. And this world will never be the same again!!

The bread of life
Did you know that we are the continued ministry of Christ? Not only that, but we are the

body and the givers and deliverers of His salvation? We have been given His authority, and have actually been given the ability to minister and give this Salvation and eternal life to the world. We are already called the light of the world and the salt of the earth, but did you know that we are also the bread ofLife? Christ said, "This is the Bread that comes down from heaven, so that [any]one may eat of it and never die. (John 6:50 AMP) He continued to say of Himself and His body, "I [Myself] am this Living Bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this Bread, he will live forever; and also the Bread that I shall give for the life of the world is My flesh (body). (John 6:51 AMP) Are we not His Body? He has given His body (us) as bread or nourishment for the life and salvation of the world. Christ had said, "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven." (Matt.16:19 NIV) And Again Jesus said after His resurrection, "Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you." And with that he breathed on them and said, "Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive anyone his sins, they are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven." (John 2:21-23 NIV) We have been given the incredible privilege, honor and responsibility of being ministers of salvation. But what kind of salvation are you ministering? Did you know that you can give a partial salvation or a polluted salvation or withhold salvation all together? You can only give what salvation you have. Mathew 10:8 says "Freely you have received, freely give." In Acts 3:6 Peter said, "Silver or gold I do not have, but what I have I give you." In that moment he was ministering salvation in healing to a cripple. He was filled with the life of God to the point that he was able to say "In the Name of Jesus Christ, WALK" When you minister,( and don't be fooled, you are always ministering. Every time you come into contact with another being you are ministering. Every time you open your mouth you are ministering. That is why Jesus made such a emphasis on idle words. "But I tell you, on the day of judgment men will have to give account for every idle (inoperative, nonworking) word they speak." (Matt:12:36 Amp)) what are you ministering? Loose words which sow to death? Or can we say what Jesus said in John 6:63? "The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life." It is out of the abundance of your heart that your mouth will speak. and it is from your vessel that the salvation will flow. Now is your vessel clean or polluted? Just as a wine takes on the flavor of the cask it is held in, so does the salvation that you are ministering take on the flavor or essence of the vessel that is carrying it. If you are a doubting

Christian, the salvation that you minister will be polluted with doubt. If you are a complaining Christian (If there is such a thing) the salvation that you minister will be polluted with that spirit. "Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring? My brothers, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water." (James 3:11) What a responsibility we have to remain holy and cleansed by the blood of Jesus. He who heeds instruction and correction is [not only himself] in the way of life [but also] is a way of life for others. And he who neglects or refuses reproof [not only himself] goes astray [but also] causes to err and is a path toward ruin for others. (Proverbs 10:17 AMP) If you remember, By one mans disobedience death and the curse entered the world and effected the entire planet. But also by one MAN's obedience, Life and freedom from the curse came to all of the world. Disobedience and sin never just effects you. Just as obedience and holiness will also bring blessings to multitudes. Much farther reaching then you could ever imagine. Now as ministers of salvation, we already know that we are Kings and Priests. But where is our kingdom? And our temple? Have you ever heard of a king without a kingdom? We have been given a kingdom on earth as well as Heaven. In the days of Knights and Royalty when a Kingdom was established, regions and territories were set up under rulers that were ultimately subject to the High King. The surrounding territories would bring themselves under the protection and or banner of that territories ruler. They, by doing so, were secure in that, should terror or destruction strike the territory, they could find shelter within the walls of that ruler's city because he was under the banner of the King of Kings. Even so, God brings people into our path every day saved and sinners alike in the continuing of His ministry so that we can place them under our banner and covering in our covenant with Christ. We can speak the word of salvation over every one we come in contact with and claim their spirit, soul and body for the kingdom. "All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing," (John 6:37-39 NIV) The will of God for Jesus is no less then the will of God for us. We should lose no one that the Father has brought us. Every place upon which the sole of your foot shall tread, that have I given to you. (Joshua 1:3 AMP) Our job is to take the territories back from the devil and establish Christs Kingdom in the fullness of His Salvation. Do not let an opportunity pass. There are no coincidents. That person passing you on the street corner was brought into your vicinity by divine appointment that you might effect them with the anointing and the life of God that flows through and from you, whether you ever interact with them or not. Remember even the shadow of the apostles ministered to and healed the people. Ask Christ to bring to you all that He has given to you. Believe and see every step that you take as ordered by the Lord, and speak the word over everyone every chance you get.

And expect opportunities to be the light, salt and the bread oflife. Posted by2KnowHimMoreat11:01 AM 0 commentsHYPERLINK "http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=4690753919681201451&postID=4130533929751044184"

Consider not!!!
Romans 4:18-21 18(Abraham)Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. 19And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb: 20He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; 21And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. 22And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.

What has God promised you? Do you stagger at the promise of God? Or are you strong in faith, giving glory to God. Are you fully persuaded that what God has promised, he is able and willing to perform. Or do you consider yourself and your limitations, and say how can this be? There is a great truth in those few verses that many times we pass over. We see Abraham's story and we see the great picture that was the result of the promise. We even acknowledge the miracle of the birth of Issac. But take a moment to comprehend the circumstances involved here. Abraham was 100 years old. Don't you think that he had tried to have a baby before this. There was a track record of years of failure in his life to have this child. If you read the story , Sarah, his wife had given up already and had given her maidservant to Abraham so that there would be someone to carry on the name. Genesis 17:17 actually states that Abraham himself laughed at first when confronted with such a great promise and asked God to allow his son birthed by the maidservant to be the covenant. 17 Abraham fell facedown; he laughed and said to himself, "Will a son be born to a man

a hundred years old? Will Sarah bear a child at the age of ninety?" 18 And Abraham said to God, "If only Ishmael might live under your blessing!" What an amazing truth is found in the seemingly contradicting accounts of this man of faith. Abraham in historical context in several instances was anything but a man of faith. He had , out of fear, given up his wife to the king of Egypt to be taken as his wife. (Gen12:14-19) He had, as shown above in Gen.17:17 not only laughed at the promise but had actually asked God to compromise the promise as well. Yet Romans 4 clearly describes Abraham as unwaivering in faith. What happened between Genesis 17 and Romans 4? Simply, the cross!! Remember the promise Isaiah 43:25 I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins. And Psalms 103:12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us. Even earlier in the 4th chapter of Romans it speaks of this grace. Romans 4:7-8 7Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. 8Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. Isn't it awesome that God would give us an example of His redemptive work using our father in the faith showing that He doesn't just bring us back to where we were before we sinned but actually brings us to the place in Him where we would be had we never sinned in the first place. And in His eyes we never did. But I digress. The main thing is that in the perfected work of grace. Abraham did not consider his circumstances nor his body which to all accounts was literally dead. But was convinced that what God promised He was able to perform. Many times, if not all the time, the biggest hindrance to the accomplishment of God's perfect will in our lives, The thing that hinders God from being our provider, our healer, our redeemer is our own self view. We see all the times in the past that we have failed and come short of His glory. We see the weaknesses in ourselves, the lack of skills or wisdom. We see ourselves as unworthy, as sinners saved by grace. People, there is no such thing. You are either a sinner or you are saved by grace. You

can't be both. In order to truly take hold of Gods promises, and by doing so, truly take hold of your destiny you must actually believe the truth of His salvation for you. He has not forgiven your sins. He could not do that and be just. He had to condemn sin and mankind who was guilty of it. "If you eat of this tree YOU will surely die!!" Now lets use a physical example. When Saddam Hussein was sentenced for his crimes against humanity, if someone was brave or stupid enough to step up to the judge and say "I will take his place in sentencing." What would the answer have been? "No, you can't take his place." "Saddam did it and Saddam has to pay." Could God do anything less? Man did it. Man has to pay. That is why Jesus had to be completely man. If He was not, if He had any advantage whatsoever over you or me than God is not playing fair and Jesus could not be tried fairly. This is why Jesus is called the second Adam. This was also why Jesus had to be born of a virgin. The problem with every person from Adam down the line was that the seed was corrupt and tainted by the original sin thus we were born in sin and thus it was appointed unto man once to die and after that judgment. Jesus must be man but could not be tainted by the corrupted seed. He had to be of a new bloodline. Born of God as was the first Adam. (Luke 3:38) Once Jesus had fulfilled all the law and all righteousness, and where Adam 1 had failed in the realm of obedience, Jesus had obeyed till the end. He was found innocent not having any sin nor any of the wages to pay for sin. In fact, because of His fulfillment of the law, Jesus was owed the blessing of Abraham, and of the law. Jesus now said " I am free of any debt to sin and death but I will pay your wages and you can have my blessing." Thus the greatest exchange in all of history has taken place. Legally I might add. Adam sinned Adam payed for it. Jesus payed the price for your sins, your sickness, your grief and your death. Your sins are not forgiven they have been judged and payed in full. This is also why Jesus rose again. Having taken on your sin He paid the full price. He died and went to hell. But having no sin of His own God raised Him up from the dead. And because He, Himself, was innocent death could not hold Him. Acts 2:24 "But God raised Him up again, putting an end to the agony of death, since it was impossible for Him to be held in its power." This is why you must be born again. You are born into this world through a corrupted seed. You must be born of water. Just as you were the first time and of the Spirit, the new

seed. This is signifying that you must be born into a new bloodline. The bloodline of the resurrected King Of Glory!! When you become born again. By an active decision of will Bourne out of faith, you have sent the old creature that was born of the fallen seed to be forever nailed to the cross and dead. You now are literally recreated into the body of Christ the risen king of glory. All old things have passed away, all things have been made new. It is not possible for two different things to occupy the same space. The old man cannot be in the same space as the new man. It's just not possible. When you confess your sins, be it the first time or the millionth and first time. The blood of Jesus washes them away and carries them to where the old man is crucified and nails them to the same cross and they are gone forever from you. This is not an easy way out to sin. No! This is an easy way out of sin. If you have truly crucified your old self with Christ then you are dead to sin. Romans 6:1-10 1 What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase? 2 May it never be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it? 3 Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. 5 For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection, 6 knowing this, that our old self was crucified with Him, in order that our body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin; 7 for he who has died is freed from sin. 8 Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, 9 knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, is never to die again; death no longer is master over Him. 10 For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. 11 Even so consider yourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus. By giving Abraham a new name God was literally putting the old man Abram to death. Dead was the old, decrepit, seedless weakling. In his place stood the heir of the world, the father of nations, the blesser of all humanity. No longer was he Abram bar Terah (or Abram son of Terah) He was Abraham Bar Yahweh. Abraham son of Yahweh. We must see ourselves as the new man. God has given us a new name. We are no longer of the genealogy of our forefathers. We are of the direct lineage of God thus heirs according to the promise. What has God promised you? Consider not your old body now dead. Be strong in faith being fully persuaded that, what He has promised, He is able also to perform.

What an amazing tool
The devil has never created anything! He is not a creator and hasn't got an ounce of creative ability in him. The only thing that he can do is cause a good thing to be perverted. For example, music is one of his greatest tools to steal, kill and destroy with. But that wasn't the case in the beginning. God created it as a creative tool. Creation sings and praises Him constantly. Music is a shortcut to the soul. Things sung or brought on the winds of music have direct access to your soul and can influence you in a most powerful way. (So be very careful of the lyrics you are listening to, even in "Christian music." Make sure that what you are listening to agrees with Christ and is feeding your spirit and soul faith) People say that math is the universal language, but I say that music is the true universal language. No matter the culture, or the continent, even in the most remote section of the world there is music. What an awesome tool when in the hands of God and His people. Another tool that was perverted but can and is being used for the glory of God, is television. Despite popular belief it was not created to watch "Will and Grace" or to leave on as a background noise filling the house with who knows what. It was created as a tool to spread the gospel to every corner of the earth. One preacher, quite accurately, described it as "Tell A Vision" It was to tell the vision of our savior, to lift Him up over the air waves. (No longer is Satan the prince of the power of the air, we're taking that back!) This is a tool for Him to draw all nations to Him. Christian television has reached more people in more countries then any other form of evangelism ever has. Lets use it as the tool of glory that it was meant to be.

Finally, the internet, as amazing as it seems was not created to download pornography. Nor was it created to simply to use as a faster and cheaper way to send mail than the post office. (Though that is not a bad use in and of itself :-)) This was created as a study tool, an access point, giving more ways and avenues to study the word of God than has ever been available to the common man than in any time in history. We have more sources of Godly information at our finger tips that we have barely scratched the surface. An example of this would be biblegateway.com an online bible offering no less then 20 English versions of the text. Along with concordance and easy search options. Another excellent source is www.bible.cc Another online bible giving many versions but also has Greek and Hebrew word study options. And thats probably just the beginning of the tools they offer. An awesome example of this tool in action was when I did a verse study on Philipians 4:19 "And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus." I pulled up the verse on bible.cc. Simply pushed the button for Greek above the verse. and clicked on the English word I wanted to translate. Did you know that literal translation for the word "supply" in Greek means to cram? What a powerful word and revelation that comes with that knowledge. My God does not intend to just supply all my needs but He intends to cram in the supply. The picture I get is that he fills the need than he CRRRAAAMMMS in way above and beyond that. In fact, that completely agrees with the words of Christ "Pressed down, shaken together, and running over." By the way, there are incredible books available online for free to anyone that is willing to look for them. "Adventures in Christ" by John G Lake. Smith Wigglesworth sermons and testimonies etc etc the list goes on and on with these tools. A tool as wide ranging and culturally changing as the internet had to have been God inspired. Lets use this tool for His Glory.

Introduction
To all who have come across this posting, you are not here by accident. You are here by Divine appointment. You are here because a loving God is drawing you to Him and I was privileged to be a stepping stone toward Him. My name is not important. What is important is that you get to Him. I pray that you will see the height and the depth and the greatness of His love toward you. Today, if you are discouraged, don't be! There is a way out. There is an answer. If you are broken hearted, don't be! There is enough love in Him to heal any wound. The mighty arms of an awesome God are also the tender arms of a gentle father that will hold you in an embrace so warm that no pain or hurt can penetrate. If you are afraid, don't be! There is more power in one drop of blood that was shed for you then all the strength that has ever or could ever be mustered by the enemy against you. And don't forget that The Greater one is within you. He is on your side!! And that means something. Not just in the religious sense. If this does not work in the practical world. Then it does not work!! IF his love, power, wisdom, favor, strength, do not work in the here and now. They do not work period. But praise God they do work!! They work in the here and now!! And most importantly, they can work for you!! If you have been let down before, know this. Man in his fallen nature can fail you. But there is One who will never leave you nor forsake you. He is not looking down on you and is not waiting for you to get "better" before you deserve His love. You are loved just as you are!! You are cherished and irreplaceable. God Himself has chosen to be incomplete without you. That is why He is calling you this day. Because He has made a way for you to come to Him and join with Him and become one with Him as it was in the beginning. The way is through His Son, Jesus. Your big brother. He (Jesus) has taken your sin and placed it on Himself and made it His. You don't have to bear it anymore! You never did it! You have nothing to pay for! You are free! All you have to do is receive the gift. And the best part is once you do, thats only the beginning! Jesus sacrifice is the door. He made the way to the Father. Once you come, Oh the favor He will shower over you. He's been waiting to show His goodness to you. To bless you and provide for you. And meet all your needs and make every joy and every goodness a reality in your life. All you have to do is come through the door.

If you would like to be a part of this family, the family of God. If you would like to be complete finally and to truly have peace in your life. Right now just ask Jesus to come into your heart. To be your way to the Father. Receive the gift that is waiting for you. Pray this prayer in faith: Heavenly Father, I come to You in the Name of Jesus. Your Word says, "Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved" (Acts 2:21). I am calling on You. I pray and ask Jesus to come into my heart and be Lord over my life according to Romans 10:9-10. "If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." I do that now. I confess that Jesus is Lord, and I believe in my heart that God raised Him from the dead. Thank you Father for your Son. And thank you for making me your family. And Thank you that I'm FREE!! Welcome Home!!! Now let me have the honor of welcoming you into the family. Know this that from now on. You will never be alone. Not for one minute of your life. You have a Father. You have a Brother. You have me as well. I'm family too you know ;-). If I can be of any service to you please let me know. I am here for prayer and agreement. Remember that God loves you!!! Jesus loves you!!! And I love you!!!
