A Time for Revelation


Interestingly enough there are numerous churches around and yet there are numerous churches that can’t abound. It's like asking the question: why do we fight? Why can’t clergyman get along? They are the ones that are supposed to be leading the people into the Kingdom of God yet they bicker and fight like kids. If someone leaves one church to go to another there's an uproar when they should be happy that they are leaving to go seek the place where they can find the Kingdom of God a little bit easier. Every man, every soul has a need and as a pastor or leader of a church you should not be upset with those that leave. Let them seek the Kingdom of God as they wish and be overjoyed when they find it. So be happy for these people and hope that they are on a mission to achieve greatness as you are. Greatness only comes by the glory of God but to get there we all have to work together.

So, all of you fellow clergyman please work together. For God wants to see his church united. The time for distance and separation is long gone. We, as heirs of the throne need to come together now and make a difference in this earth. Religion is dead but Christ is and always will be alive. So drop the acts, lose the traditions and make new ones. Just be certain they are lead by the Glory of God. If they are, you and your church congregation will see the power of God at work but if you can't get past your own ego, you and your congregation will suffer and you will be judged accordingly. Be diligent in your teachings...look to see what God has to say today and you have no choice but to be ok.  If you disagree, we will see who God tells to take the lead.  Beware, you have been warned and now is your time…your time to be a light on this earth…your time to shine and show the world why God put you’re here.  Do your work!!!

What Do You Call Him?


What do you call him?  Who, you ask?  God, or Yahweh, or Savior, or Father, or Jesus Christ, or King of Kings, or Counselor, or Rock, or Holy Spirit, or Elohim,…and so on?  What you call him doesn’t matter as much as what you say to him and what you do when he speaks to you.  Yes, God has many names and people have assigned many meanings to the different names but regardless of what name you give him, know that he is God and he has supreme authority over your life.  And because he has authority, this means that when he calls you, son, daughter, your first name, your last name, Mr., Ms., Mrs., sir….and so on, you need to respond as if your name will never be the same if anyone else calls you by it again.  This is the power of God.  He has the power to make you and break you.  If you are confused by what I am saying, know that if you are seen as one of the most powerful men/women on this earth it is because God has made you that way but as easily as he has made you that way, he can take it all away if you forget who he is and what he has done.

                So, what you call him is not that important as long as it is not detestable to him, but you better know that whatever he calls you means more than what anybody else will ever say to you.  Call him God, Yahweh, Savior, I AM, Prince of Peace, King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Holy Spirit, Elohim, anything that allows you to commune with him.  Have a relationship with him so he can call you son/daughter and lead you where he wants you to go.  Having a relationship with God should be your number one priority in life.  Matthew 6:33 states, “But seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”  Don’t you know that this means that if you have a relationship with God that you sought after, everything else will come to you?  He just wants to know you and talk to you but most importantly he wants you to know him so you can be just like your father (who will be who you most admire).  Know God, Trust God, Love God, and eventually what you will call him naturally is Father!


Prayer Train (Courtesy of God via Lora Willis)


My mom called me yesterday morning with a dream that she had about a prayer train.  This dream included our family (Little Israel – God’s Obedient Children) from Great grandparents all the way down to the smallest children.  It included those that had passed away and were now resting with the lord and the smallest of children (although my mom didn’t know this, it probably included the children yet to be born but are still part of God’s family).  They were in a line from those that were with the lord all the way down to those that had a lot of time left before it was time to return home (in order from when they would be returning home to be with God).  She stated in her dream that she remembered vaguely that they were praying for two people but she could not remember who it was.  The reason she couldn’t remember is because we all need to be praying for at least two people and with the train going around the world, everyone should be prayed for more than once.

                We need to think about this as God wants us to love our neighbor as ourselves and if we love our neighbor as ourselves, we would be praying that they only have the best of what life has to offer them…but, it is not given by the world but by God.  As we do this and pray for at least two people we begin to show God that we realize and understand it is by him that we are able to be…and because it is by him that we are able to be, we should not be selfish in our wanting but very generous in our giving.  By praying for others we are giving freely our time to ask God to provide for, take care of, and treat someone else like they are his favorite child.  And as they get what their hear desires we can be extremely happy for them knowing that it is by our giving and God’s work that they are able to accomplish this.  Never rage on someone’s success or happiness.  Rejoice in what they have done and with them knowing that if it is good, it was God.

                Continuing with my mom’s dream, the prayer train is to start this Saturday 9/15/12 at 5pm (local time).  This will not stop but continue on around the world, for instance 5pm for me is different than 5pm for my mom and so on for individuals around the world.  Let this be a beginning and as we continue to pray all over the world, we will see God work in ways that we have never seen before.  As some may not read this message until after 5pm (local time) on 9/15/12, remember, it is never too late to pray for two other people.  It can be the year 2020 but if you are praying for God to work in someone else’s life, you are giving your time to help someone have a better life.  Isn’t it wonderful knowing that someone is praying for you?  Someone prayed for me and thus, I am able to share this wonderful news with you today!

Tried and True

For years, people have gone through things and have not known how they were going to make it. Well, God knows and knew then what was going on and how we all would make it. He has been tried and is always true to his word. If he says that he will take care of you, it’s best for you to believe it and look to see what he will tell you to do next. But, be sure not to put the carriage before the horse because moving that carriage becomes much harder than it needed to be had you only left the work up to the horse as you should have. Yes, the horse can push the carriage but this comes with a lot of resistance. Isn’t it just better for the carriage to be pulled and the carriage will just go where the horse goes? We all should know that God works like this…if you get ahead of him, he can push you where you need to be but because you can see things you are hesitant and resistant. If you allow him to lead, you just trust that he knows what he is doing and although you are blind you know everything will work out. His vision is much greater than ours and will always be that way. He may let you peek around the corner to see part of what is coming up next but you still don’t have the complete picture so you are not fully aware of what’s in store. Just know that God has been tried and has proven to be true to his word in all circumstances and if you trust and believe in him you will go farther than you ever imagined possible.
