Heard some people are really leaving the country over the elections. Bye, that is exactly how it should work. If they do not want to adhere to the Constitution, they need to leave rather than try to elect unethical, unconstitutional, politicians. Many need to realize this truth; if our leaders do not make Constitutional laws, … [Read more…]
Pray for people who have been hurt by evil. This includes Christians and non-Christians alike. To those who work against God’s chosen. To those who carry the mark; people that God knows will not humble themselves. I dedicate this song to you. Disclaimer: RFMs knows about the history of Godsmack and it’s lead singer. We … [Read more…]
They should feel love from us, not condemnation. (John 3:16-17) If we are full of the Holy Spirit they might feel convicted (John 16:8); depending how bad they are, they also might get aggravated (study accounts of possession, etc…). Many believe wherever Jesus went, there was harmony (this is not the case). Jesus’ anointing was … [Read more…]
New Podcast is up on our website called, “Stay Humble.” No matter how long with been seeking after God, staying humble, accepting truth, leads to victory.
New Podcast is up, “Vampires? Power of the Cross?” Podcast recorded live is up discussing Vampires, Hollywood, and Christians. Should Christians run at the first sign of sin? Absolutely not! Overcome it!
New Podcast is up on our website entitled, “Be the Light.” Be the light in a dark world.
I hate politics because it does divide to a certain degree. I will say this, we have to make sure we are hearing truth and vote accordingly. This is no time to vote a certain way because my second cousin removed votes a certain way. Borders are important to a nation; protecting this country is … [Read more…]
New Podcast is up, “The Image of God, His Son, and You.”
So I ran into my first known-IDed as- Greek today. He not only looked Greek (or Italian), he had a shirt that said, “Straight Outta Greece!” We were talking about the border and inflation. He liked some of the things Harris said and I reminded him, “remember, it’s what they do as well.” I said … [Read more…]
Out and about talking politics with the people. We talked about the border, voter integrity (very few I talked with want mail-in ballots, most are going in person), immigration, economy, power-hungry politicians, judges that overstep their bounds, Second Amendment rights, and keeping the power where it belongs- with the people. These are real concerns that … [Read more…]
Ms. Gomez, are you voting this year? “Absolutely!” Will it be in person? “Absolutely! “Do you know who you are voting for? “Absolutely! ” Who? “Trump!”
I met some good people today. One gentleman is a fellow Italian who lives with his son. He can barely make ends meet, he had $30 dollars to his name. He showed me his motorcycles including his sons’. I asked him for his contact information and if I could write about his situation, political views, … [Read more…]
You know what I see in this picture? Everyday voters-legal citizens, people who work, and try to pursue the American dream. What some politicians see is the white house and government; what they need to remember and see are the American people (who they are supposed to represent). Maybe then they will stop trying to … [Read more…]
A reminder that finances are still a need that Christians have. Satan has done an evil job at demonizing money and those who seek to gain wealth to bless their families and others. Money in the hands of a changed heart is a powerful tool for good. Deuteronomy 8:18 (NKJV): 18 “And you shall remember the … [Read more…]
In the words of one of the greatest apostles who walked the earth–“pray for me!” In other words, do not hesitate to ask for prayer when you need it; even the best needs to rally the troops-call in for air support- on occasion
Pride destroys many relationships; rather than change wrong thinking that leads to behavior that hurts relationships, some would rather find new relationships. Both secular and Christian counselors agree, changing wrong thinking that leads to bad behavior is a good thing. Share please… Romans 12:2 (NKJV): 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but … [Read more…]
Our new Podcast is up on our website entitled, “Divine Nature vs Sin Nature.”
It is vital that our miltary stays ahead by having access to the best. Having a strong military is vital for the protection of a sovereign country; vote as if our peace and lives depend on it (it does). Praying for our leaders, our military, and the companies that provide us with the best that … [Read more…]
Our new Podcast is on our website, entitled, “God is Just and Righteous!” Obtaining a true image of God; a just and righteous God!
The brave side of us would like us to believe we were fearless and did everything correctly; however, the side that looks at self will admit the times we had fear and dropped the ball. The correct mindset is admitting fault, thinking about what can make us better, and not condemning ourselves. The truth is, … [Read more…]
Question: What are the traits of a charismatic leader? Look at Jesus…Was He worried about His reputation, or did He stop to stand up for a woman who was caught in sin? Was Jesus concerned about His reputation when He sat with Matthew? Was Jesus worried about His reputation? Absolutely not! Many have judged those … [Read more…]
When it comes to scripture and what God has told me, I am a very, very stubborn man. The so-called church could say I am wrong, but if I have scripture and relationship backing what I heard up, I will not be moved.
God loved us enough to show us the way and give us an example. In most cases, God will be kind and we should also be kind. At times, I have found myself getting to a point where I snap at stupid (I call it that, not talking about a specific person) and it is … [Read more…]
God is always good. Only our inability to see the truth changes the image we have of Him.
Our new Podcast is up on our website entitled, “Adam, Sin, and a Place of Growth” The first Adam fell before his time; he was supposed to confront Satan like Jesus did when the time was right. He was tempted, and rather than going to his Father, Adam believed the lie and fell (I will … [Read more…]
A New Podcast is up, “With John, Peter Said!” Some of the most powerful moments in scripture happened when people came together.
We are announcing Raised Faith Ministries’ Spirit and Truth Conferences. We worked on this flyer when we published our ministry update in January. We knew God was going to expand our ministry, and we expect greater works (John 14:12) this year. Need healing, deliverance, counseling, or just want to fellowship with like-minded believers (those who … [Read more…]
A new message, “Lord, To Whom Shall We Go?” is on our Podcast Page. Please listen and be encouraged. John 6:66–69 (NKJV)66 From that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more. 67 Then Jesus said to the twelve, “Do you also want to go away?” 68 But Simon Peter … [Read more…]
A New Podcast is up entitled, “Traditions or Life?” It is not that or this way–it’s Jesus is the way! Notes: Hebrews 4:12 (NKJV)12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is … [Read more…]
Fun to be back at church–good times. Address, 5150 2nd Street… All rockers–especially guitar players, should recognize the significance of those numbers–5150. I remember when the album 5150 first came out, I bought the cassette that day and loved two songs especially, “Love Walks In” and “Dreams”; in addition, I enjoyed “Why Can’t This Be … [Read more…]
A great wedding song. Let me explain: See it spiritually… God is called Father of lights in scripture (James 1:17). Return to ash in scripture means to repent. When doubt returns, faith! Now that we are dead, means to die to self, have mercy on each other, be humble. Now we can be together… Christians … [Read more…]
Why do I respect the younger and older among us? The younger, Jesus was about His Father’s business at a young age (12,13-year-old) and showed Himself to be wise among the leaders and elders of the synagogues. Jesus’ ministry started when he was in His early 30s (natural years). The older, throughout scripture, God discusses … [Read more…]
A New Podcast is up on our Podcast page entitled, “Why the Mind of Christ?” “Staying humble and receiving the Mind of Christ is important to our Christian walk. We cannot have a correct image of who God is without it–a good God!”
A New Podcast is up on our Podcast page entitled, “Jesus Said, Be Healed!” We believe it will bless you! Every time we use scripture in our lives and in the lives of others, Jesus is interceding on our behalf! Through mercy and grace, and beyond what we see and hear, He is interceding… Having … [Read more…]
Testimony Time: One of our leaders in Raised Faith Ministries’ Prayer and Support group is making a difference for Christ. We are thankful that he is connected with this ministry, and he has blessed me many times throughout the few years He has been with us. Keep Solomon Sagar Joydher and his ministry in your … [Read more…]
Some people hate for no reason. With that said, maybe I should give them a reason–smack, slap? No, not worth the time or effort. Move on and find people who we get along with, those with winning attitudes. Having a winning attitude can turn negatives into positives and help fulfill our goals rather than work against … [Read more…]
A New Podcast entitled, “In Christ, Following Christ (Explained)”is up on our Podcast page. We dig a little deeper into the subjects of following Christ and In Christ. Faith in the Word gets us there; faith in the Word keeps us there, with authority!
“Mud or Resurrection Power?” is up on our Podcast page. A powerful anointing (my word), go listen and be blessed!
Well, I do not feel healed? You are not going to smell or touch healing, either. Healing is received by faith in the very truth God spoke to us through His Son. Jesus’ flesh was ripped to pieces (the lashes He took, “by His stripes”) so our flesh could be healed. What if it is … [Read more…]
The Constitution is not a far-right document; rather, it is a document that protects all people and should be on the minds and lips of every politician.
Biden’s behavior on the borders is tyrannical, not protecting the Constitution or the people, which he swore under oath to protect. We–the people– must defend the Constitution, our country, our voting integrity, and the people within our borders.
Politics can be an ugly, evil, thing if we do not check ourselves individually and collectively. Staying humble before God and others is a good thing and to serve others correctly, we must continue to humble ourselves throughout our lives and careers.
New Podcast is up on our Podcast page entitled, “God Wants to Send You to Heaven!”
New Podcast is up on our Podcast page entitled, “Fear versus Fear? A brief look into our relationship with God and how we should not run from Him when we miss the mark. Proverbs 9:10 (NKJV)10 “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. … [Read more…]
The significance of Jesus being sinless includes us seeing a true image of our Father. Throughout scripture, we see opinions but the opinions that matter most are what Jesus said and what God said. (John 17:17). Of course, if we look at the disciples and their witness to the truth, their witness supports that image … [Read more…]
The other day, I decided to watch a documentary called, “Carlos” which is about the legendary guitar player Carlos Santana. He said something that caught my attention. “The flow of grace!” So being an investigator of sorts (smile, I believe he was Christian based on those words), I decided to look him up. Behold, an … [Read more…]
Right in the middle of hell Jesus overcame death and the grave. I prefer to have good–who are devoted to Him– people around me, but sometimes we cannot have that luxury (work, etc…); we should not rely on who is around us alone. If we have Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Matthew 18:20) –we have … [Read more…]
It is very important to watch the house and senate floors; watch when the media doesn’t tell you to watch. Notice they do not tell you about the debates on the floor and the actual content of the bills?? They want to filter what we hear through their media outlets. The same reason they made … [Read more…]
🤔I like what scripture says, “the church is within us.” However, there is a side we need to look at. If we have faith, love, hope, the church-the Body of Christ- needs us. To be honest, I been hurt by both the church and the world; however, we are called to love both, and both … [Read more…]
There are political reasons we need to go with the best constitutionalist in the primaries! It is called, “having a seat at the table.” If moderates keep pushing lessor of two evil strategies on us, and we fall for fear tactics such as we cannot win, our numbers will look smaller (vote for a moderate … [Read more…]
New Message is up on our podcast page. “The World System Versus God’s Kingdom” where we look at the differences. I believe we will touch on this topic again here shortly with a more thorough teaching on this subject, so stay tuned. As usual, thank you for listening. Acts 20:32 (NKJV)32 “So now, brethren, I … [Read more…]
We have been pretty busy with ministry work. Worked on some flyers for meetings we are going to hold locally; this includes name of meetings and information on the flyers. Also reaching out to local pastors, and friends utilizing the network God provides; we will be having meetings throughout the country (New York, New Jersey, … [Read more…]
One of our mission statements for our ministry is to help break the chains of stereotypes., in this example, black represents evil. No where in scripture does it say black in itself is evil and to be honest, Satan has stolen from the church because of rules that are not scriptural or us judging and … [Read more…]
You know what I love about God and those who know Him? They will lift you up when you are down. The world and their ways do the opposite. Some are almost animal like; look at the hyena for example. One versus one they have no chance against a full-grown, healthy, milk fed, meat fed, … [Read more…]
Christmas, make it a Holy Spirit prayer meeting and come expecting. In other words, dates matter less to God than true worship; He would rather us come together, one accord, worshipping Him together. Let’s pick a date? 🤔 Dec 25 would make the most sense! Let’s do this! My Thoughts about Christmas Saint Nicholas was … [Read more…]
There is blame to go around if a terrorist attack happens on our soil. The truth is most countries – if not all – have border control. Allowing people to cross illegally allows people to come into this country that we cannot monitor. Tactically and defensively speaking this is a huge problem for our country. … [Read more…]
I wrote parts of this message when Paul Walker’s accident first happen. I edited and published it again. Reports are surfacing that Paul Walker was a good guy and a Christian. Some might ask, why doesn’t God protect His people? The answer is simple. Make the right decisions, pray for protection, be sensitive, and He … [Read more…]
I was reading scripture, and I was reminded of this truth. God’s perfect will is seen through Jesus’ words and actions (meditate on that and go here Romans 12:2, James 2:18-26). I am reminded, even though his mercy and grace (Matthew 9:13–14, Matthew 12:7) is sufficient (Paul heard from God, He was in the throne … [Read more…]
John 3:16–17 (NKJV): 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. John 17:3 … [Read more…]
New Podcast (teaching and preaching) is up entitled, “Walking like Jesus is our birthright!” If we are born again, walking like Him-as an overcomer- is our birthright.
A few years ago, I had a dream, I believe I released a copy or summary of the dream to my Facebook. Since then, I prayed about the dream to discern the meaning. Let’s take a look… I was in a courtyard and in that courtyard was a small cub lioness (in this dream I … [Read more…]
Even an atheist can have fancy cars and a private plane. I am not after the Bill Gates blessing; rather, I am seeking after Him and what pleases Him. From this position we have favor from God that empowers us to prosper. This prosperity is not just the prosperity that some unbelievers have. I am … [Read more…]
Prayer, I wrote for a family member and for our prayer group. Read, meditate on it, pray it out loud. Make it your own. Love you. Father, we thank you for loving us; from that love flows all the promises that you gave us. We know through scripture that you want us to have life … [Read more…]
Here is some revelation for some. “Come out from among them” has little to do with physical location at first. However, it has everything to do with our spiritual location– seated in heavenly places (not in the dirt, mud nor are we slaves, but children). Relationship leads to knowing God; knowing God leads to knowing … [Read more…]
Bad circumstances have you down? Right in the middle of hell Jesus overcame His circumstances – death (Colossians 2:15), Mark 12:36). We can overcome our bad circumstances through Him (Luke 10:19, Revelation 17:14). Colossians 2:15 (NKJV)15 Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.
God Note (God spoke this to me before I started on these notes): Walking by faith and in the spirit starts now (every time you wake up, every time you go to bed, every time you preach, every time you teach, every time you lay hands on the sick, every time you come to me … [Read more…]
We should never allow criminals to dictate the rights of the people. In the name of criminals and future crime, the rights of the people have been stripped by power hungry politicians. If they decide to do evil, we must have a way to stop evil–period. Yes, we should care for people and try to … [Read more…]
Loving God leads us to loving others correctly. Great men and women of God help-or serve- people! Why? They love like Him.
A church that does not teach to love God is just as bad as a church that does not teach to love others (Matthew 22:37-40, John 14:15-31).
God corrects-His chosen- in several ways. First, He would rather us be humble, receive His words (Jesus said, “learn from me”), and turn from fallen ways. Every good gift comes from Him (James 1: 17); this is where the pigheaded receives discipline. He will not force us to do right, and He will not bless … [Read more…]
Out of nowhere I heard, “Before Jesus, you were.” I was taken back by this comment; I was pretty sure it was God, but I wanted to test what I heard (at first it sounded off). I said, “please explain.” Vision He took me -in a vision- before He breathed life into Adam. He said, … [Read more…]
New Preaching/Teaching/Podcast is up on our site, “Great Faith Knows God!” There is also notes to that teaching. It really blessed me preaching this message, please take the time to listen.
If someone is putting a limit on what God can do, that sounds like a personal problem (not God’s). If the Word agrees with it- believe it and say it. Are all things possible (Matthew 19:26, Luke 1:37, etc…) or just the things we believe? The truth is both are correct. Have faith in God … [Read more…]
Too many are worried about reputation rather than loving God and loving people. Was Jesus concerned about “how it looked” when he defended a woman who was caught in sin? Was He concerned about the traditions of men over being obedient to His Father? Some called Him a drunk, while others called Him a Son … [Read more…]
Jesus: What Bible verse do you need today? Me: All of them!
Want to learn more about the founder of Raised Faith Ministries (click below)? ✌️😊
Great faith knows God. Hebrews 11:6 (NKJV)6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Faith brings us into the spiritual; faith keeps us believing in the unseen. The manifestation will … [Read more…]
New podcast is up on our website entitled, “Ye of Little Faith (Strong faith).” We tried to upload it yesterday, but we had server issues. Thank you for listening and studying with us.
If we are not living by faith we are doing it wrong. God requires faith; not as a test, but it needs to be that way– He is a spiritual being! Jesus is the only way to the Father; He is the way, the truth that leads to life (John 14:5–7)! Hebrews 11:6 (NKJV)6 But … [Read more…]
How? “Through the knowledge of” How? “Through the knowledge of” “and this is eternal life to know the one and only true God and His Son.” Especially leaders, study and learn about the ones (Father, Son, Holy Spirit, disciples, etc…) we are teaching and preaching about. 2 Peter 1:3–11 (NKJV)3 as His divine power has … [Read more…]
I saw this one Instagram post that had great wisdom. I quote, “Today is Oct 3rd.” I was shocked at such wisdom but came to my senses abruptly with wisdom of my own (or God’s)! Ready? Tomorrow will be Oct 4th! What are we doing with the gifts God gave us; what are we doing … [Read more…]
…currently studying the life of Peter and how he followed Christ. Fallen mankind for some reason has a habit of looking at faults and judging people incorrectly. Many within the church -pulpits as well- has made fun of and looked down upon Peter. I see a very smart man (he asked Jesus questions), he wanted … [Read more…]
Notes for podcast with same name. When the Bible says supernatural things believe them. If God sent the great prince to help Daniel, God would send the great prince to help you. If God would send angels to help Peter, He would send angels to help you. Oh, “angel worship” yet we talk about Satan … [Read more…]
Ran some drills last night. Starting to move better, transitions between high to sights, low to sights is smoother. Foot work is getting better, transition between sides is better, reloads are better. Transition between targets better. I’m starting to feel tier 22 vibes. Feeling like the 2-dollar man (maybe I could win a gunfight or … [Read more…]
Those with love and joy have brought many into the kingdom of God. Yes, there is a judgment side of God (He cannot help us, if we do not let Him), but that should never be our continued focus. Jesus came to give life and joy, not pain and suffering. John 10:10 (NKJV): 10 The … [Read more…]
How do we stay healthy? It’s not what goes in our mouths that defiles us, it is what comes out of our mouths that defiles us (Matthew 15:10–11). Pray, believe we have health (Mark 11:24) through Him, and bless our meals (1 Timothy 4:3–5) by believing and speaking the word of God over our meals. … [Read more…]
Saw a post about the home coming of a friend of mine and made a comment on that post. He was known for going into darkest parts of the world to evangelize; he reminded me of my dad in a lot of ways and at first, we bumped heads. Later, we talked a lot, and … [Read more…]
I was ministering to someone online and God used our “what we believe” page to encourage. This message came from that, be encouraged and thank you for receiving His truth. Need healing? Have the mind of Christ! I was writing out my ministry’s “what we believe” page and God dropped this in my spirit. If … [Read more…]
I have been preaching, teaching, and helping people for years; most of the time–pro bono. If you can give, please do. Website, time spent, and doing ministry does cost money. We believe we have brought a lot to the kingdom. Every dollar helps and it will go towards preaching the gospel to the world. One … [Read more…]
This Facebook memory reminded me of a vision God gave me. David went into prayer, and he was asking God if he should go to war to protect Israel. They were outnumbered! In this vision, I saw David in armor coming in through a door, he took off his helmet and kneeled before an altar. … [Read more…]
My friend Tony Camillo asked me a question years ago and he wanted my opinion. He said, “Noah I was flying, and I looked out the window. I believe I saw Jesus with His arms open. See, I met him onlline-playing Quake– and met him in person later with a bunch of other guys and … [Read more…]
Faithful, for any relationship to work be it a friend, coworker, team member, or that special someone, love demands being faithful (remaining loyal and steadfast) loyalty (a strong feeling of support or allegiance). To put it simply, love does no harm (cheat, backstab, talk bad, etc…) to others. Romans 13:10 (NKJV): 10 Love does no … [Read more…]
Meditate on these scriptures and prayer; believe, speak confession out loud! Like all prayers, God wants prayer to be either corporate or personal (we should do both); we can make up our own that is based on scripture as well. As you can see, I was led to keep them in a certain order (faith, … [Read more…]
As Christians we will not experience His wrath (1 Thessalonians 1:10, 1 Thessalonians 5:9). So now, being saved and born again we learn from His Son–we see Him as a Father and through that relationship. For example, hell. As His children we do not see hell as a place “where God sends people”; rather, through … [Read more…]
Jesus was perfect in every way yet faced many trials. Why? Sometimes true Love has a hard time in a fallen world. Our trials come from fallen angels, a fallen world (where bad things can happen), fallen minds (people who do not walk in Love), our decisions, and our mistakes. Satan comes in and tries … [Read more…]
Navy SEAL turned CIA agent Shawn Ryan loves Jesus. Cannot get much cooler than this… “NEVER FORGET there are GOOD PEOPLE in this world. Don’t get distracted by all the narratives that play out but look at all the good that is around you. “ AnointedSword: Seeing so much evil, we sometimes lose sight of … [Read more…]
Politically, it does not matter what criminals decide to do with their rights; it matters what people and politicians try to do with our rights. The millions of citizens who uphold constitutional law should be respected and honored in this nation. To take away the rights–especially the right to defend– of millions because of a … [Read more…]
Pain hurts no matter where it comes from i.e., physical or psychological; no matter how tough we believe we are; we like to stay away from hurt or pain if possible. This is why some of us build walls. My circle is very small. If I examine my life, I would have allowed more people … [Read more…]
The Book of Job, many use this book to justify the problems in their lives and that should not be the case. A very misunderstood book, here is some truth based on years of study and guidance from a holy and just God. He is a good God–period! We know the Book of Job happened … [Read more…]
I do not talk about other leaders much because of the path God has me on, but I wanted to share a testimony about Pat Roberson and his son Gordon. Years ago, I hurt my knee on the job, it was bad, and I was praying for healing. I woke up in the morning, I … [Read more…]
Well the ATF decided (not the people by elected officials) to take our means to defend in close quarters away by taking our access to Short Barrel Rifles away. I never hopped on the brace BANwagon because I believe it was bowing the knee when it comes to our #2ndamendment rights, but any law (or … [Read more…]
Building on the topic of not judging by appearances (John 7:24), how should Christians treat each other? Scripturally a few words come to mind i.e. family and friends. However, if we take this even further we should look at who is in us and who God called us to be–sons and daughters. If the Father, … [Read more…]
We have a God who loves us enough to change us for the better. A loving God who is willing to help us in our time of need. His mercy and grace empower us to be children of God. What a gift, what a blessing. Romans 8:29 NKJV For whom He foreknew, He also predestined … [Read more…]
A prayer for revelation and to thank Him for revealing Himself. Thank you, Father, for showing us who you are! Because he-the father of liars (John 8:44)- cannot steal you from us any longer (Mark 4:15, John 10:10). You are a good God, and no created thing can separate us from you or tell us … [Read more…]
Politics–from the people’s perspective– is not about loyalty (to a person or party); rather, it is about policy. Opinions or what individuals say can change based on honesty, circumstance, or opportunity. When it comes to our rights, we should not waver from the Constitution. Does the policy or policies support the Constitution? That is the … [Read more…]
Testing out Bing’s AI, I asked Bing to write a short paragraph about God’s love and here it was….I must say, pretty close… “I can try to write a short paragraph about God’s love, but please keep in mind that this is only my attempt and not a definitive answer. Here is what I came … [Read more…]
I had a 30+ min talk with a Texas State Trooper. We talked about God, the Holy Spirit, the Constitution, politics, and we the people. He was in the military and was on the job for 11 years. Speaking for myself, I saw things newly from his–and other officers like him– perspective. He had insight … [Read more…]
A successful walk with God needs to include praise and worship music. Everyday life can be hectic and we see and hear the world’s way of doing things on a consistent basis. Anointed music is able to break us from the cares of this world and get our eyes back on our source–a loving God. … [Read more…]
Healed, our divine nature. “When I saw for the first time by the Word of God that sickness was not the Will of God, everything in my nature rose up to defeat the will of the devil.” -John G. Lake 2 Peter 1:2–4 (NKJV)2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of … [Read more…]
Today as I was meditating on scripture that I will preach on, I noticed the amount of pain and suffering Jesus endured to get a message of love and hope to the world (1 Corinthians 13:13). He was mocked, beaten, and even murdered for loving people. Throughout the Gospels we see Him do nothing but … [Read more…]
THE POPE’S EXORCIST a movie by Sony Pictures Entertainment “Whatever you do, you do only because God allows it.” Demon breaks a neck and says, “Did He allow that?” God gave dominion to mankind (Book of Genesis) because free will is God’s will. Hollywood has Navy SEALs as advisers in military movies; they need those … [Read more…]
If we are worried about what we prayed for, we have not received that from our Lord yet. Philippians 4:6–7 (NKJV)6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your … [Read more…]
Today, we honor God with our time. The more I have a better knowledge Him, the more I realize I needed Him to save me, not only from hell but my fallen way(s) of thinking. Years and years have gone by since I first was saved, yet I am reminded of how good He was … [Read more…]
Some of us are guilty of finding the teacher who lines up with our current beliefs or traditions. This should not be the case. We should want to hear the meat of the Word. Sometimes the “meat of the Word” will be hard to swallow, but nonetheless we should accept, meditate, and apply such wisdom … [Read more…]
Pride is a powerful force that keeps us grounded in a negative way. Pride says I do not have to change, when in fact, Christ is a life changer. Proverbs 11:2–4 (ESV)2 When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with the humble is wisdom. 3 The integrity of the upright guides them, but the crookedness … [Read more…]
Going old school Seven Day Slumber! This is a great song which touched many and will touch many more lives as we go on. There is a lot of pain out there and God wants to take that pain from us. Enjoy… “Where do I begin? There’s so much I want to say to make … [Read more…]
To help fight for liberty we must be educated on what made liberty possible in the first place. One of the most important documents of our nation is the Constitution of the United States.

Wake up knowing God is good. He gives life rather than steals life. He blesses rather than curses (sometimes this includes those who curse Him Luke 6:28, Matthew 5:45). The way He preaches in scripture is the way He lives life. He is not just showing us how to live; He is showing us how … [Read more…]
Gary Rossington, guitar player for Lynyrd Skynyrd passed on to a better place. Like many of people around my age, Lynyrd Skynyrd touched my life. At first, when I heard about Mr. Rossington passing, I was sadden by the news. Then God did something–I shared a few videos. I knew most of the band members … [Read more…]
Notice how people go out of their way to mock Christians? God resists the proud while Satan mocks those who are humble. They did it to Jesus, they will do it to us. Keep overcoming evil with good. In the end who wins-Jesus! James 4:6 (NKJV)6 But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: “God … [Read more…]
Mercy and Grace Philippians 4:19–20 (NKJV)19 And my God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. 20 Now to our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen.

God never intended the church to look like the world; He intended the church to look like Him in a world that needs love. Love at all costs, even if it hurts. 1 John 4:7–8 (NKJV)7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God … [Read more…]
When it comes to God’s kingdom, seekers find (and are rewarded). Hebrews 11:6 (NKJV)6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Matthew 6:33 (NKJV)33 But seek first the kingdom of … [Read more…]
John 14:12–14 (NKJV)12 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. 13 And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified … [Read more…]
I had a dream. I was with Trump. . At first, I felt like an outsider looking in, but I got more involved as time went on. We were fighting what the democrats were trying to do. We were in a small office, and they were up to something. I cannot remember specifics of the … [Read more…]

What is the greatest lesson we can learn from the Father and the Son? How to love… 1 Corinthians 13:13 (ESV)13 So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love. Jeremiah 31:3 (ESV)3 the LORD appeared to him from far away. I have loved you with an everlasting … [Read more…]

A scripture all teachers should read daily.
What am I doing tonight? Behold, one of my happy places!:) Many Christians have sometimes relied on their beliefs or traditions (yes, I have been guilty of this, checking self is a good thing); not knowing, some have turned around and defied God’s word in their lives (Mark 7:8, Mark 7:13). The truth is, God … [Read more…]
God does not condemn people until death; He edifies-instructs- until life! Jesus said in scripture to “learn from me” and so we should… Matthew 11:28–30 (NKJV)28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I … [Read more…]
Jesus did not condemn the world, but loved this woman! Jesus stopped the Pharisees or the whoeverseees (this includes part of today’s church who wants to condemn the world and other Christians rather than love). There is a time for correction, but not everyday and surely not before they come to Christ. John 3:16–17 , … [Read more…]
Some of the church has talked about a fallen angel for years and years yet they cannot get past the truth that angels are a big part of God’s plan in a fallen world. Michael, who has battled against Satan continuously since the fall to protect God’s chosen needs to be mentioned here. Satan who … [Read more…]
Hebrews 11:6 (KJV)6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

What is the difference between autism and mental illness? From God’s perspective, both can be renewed and healed.
2023 The year of the overcomer. We know God”s will? Every year should be a great year! Thank you, Jesus.
Jesus never said not to offend anyone. He said, Luke 7:23″and blessed is he who is not offended because of Me.” Just because someone gets offended doesn’t mean you, a minster of His love, is doing something wrong. People can get offended by just hearing His name. Be led, and don’t worry.
God looks at the intent of our actions as well as the actions themselves. In business we do a lot of networking; the world’s way is to ask, “what can you do for me?,” a believer’s way is to ask, “what can I do for you?” We are not connected to people so we can … [Read more…]

I saw a knight who had armor on. The knight only had his shield drawn; he was getting hit repeatedly by a sword on his shield and each hit caused the knight to go lower and lower until he was almost kneeling (think before his attacker, Satan, etc… ). Then I heard God say, “if … [Read more…]
Reading through the book of Hebrews this morning. From time to time God instructs me to read through certain books and take notes; sometimes, the revelation He gives is line by line which I love going back and reading through. God revealing Himself through scripture–priceless.
He is the saving refuge of His anointed.
Why battle with demons when we can walk with angels? Better yet, why battle against Satan when we can walk and talk with God and His Son? The truth is, we have God and the same tools He gave his Son Jesus; the question I must ask all of us is? Are we there yet … [Read more…]
Getting people to think is the easy part; getting them to believe that they can make a difference—now that’s the hard part! One person really can change the world. That one person might just be YOU! Not spiritual enough? Let me say it with scripture. Mark 9:23–29 (ESV)23 And Jesus said to him, “ ‘If you … [Read more…]
Talked with a man at a store today. Asked him if he was a Christian and he said, yes. We joked some, He had walking canes and was hunched over his cart while he was shopping. Later he was ahead of me at the registers, he walked ahead of me heading out to the parking … [Read more…]
Posted 2012 Now the deep and honest truth. I was up most of last night praying and I took a deep look at self. Instead of just pointing fingers at others, I checked myself and I must be honest. Thankfully, God has blessed my family, but I have made some mistakes. I could have done … [Read more…]
Even Jesus ignored what some people had to say. “Your daughter is dead,” they said. “Why bother the teacher anymore?” Mark5:36 Ignoring what they said, Jesus told the synagogue ruler, “Don’t be afraid; just believe.”
Peter was in jail (wrongly of course) and Paul wrote two-thirds of the Bible behind bars. Were they criminals? How things look can be deceiving at times and this includes people, ministries, governments, and even current events. With that said, look at what some of these men said in scripture–“pray for me.” They were not … [Read more…]
Defining the mind of Christ? I am saved. I am the righteousness of God. I hear from God and I am led by the Holy Spirit. I am a son (or daughter). I am healed. I am delivered. I am prosperous. I am love. I am anointed. I am a servant. I am who God … [Read more…]
Before we get too deep into this topic, let us define the word therapy. Therapy simply means a treatment intended to relieve or heal a disorder. I do not want people within the church to believe they need to hold a doctorate in Christian counseling before they are able to help people correctly. The truth is, … [Read more…]
Trusting God can be difficult at times; especially when we have a lot of created things trying to tell us otherwise. Spending time with our Creator during these times will make His will more clearer, and in most cases – in the end-will make those other opinions look foolish. #faith #love #hope #God #Jesus #raisedfaith … [Read more…]
Is it okay to shed tears? Jesus did and He was one of the toughest men who walked the face of the earth. Was He lacking faith because He grieved for the ones who He loved? Of course not. Compassion is more powerful than mankind’s arrogance and pride. The perfect example of what a man … [Read more…]
2 Peter 1:1–2 (ESV): 1 Simeon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who have obtained a faith of equal standing with ours by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ: 2 May grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. … [Read more…]

I once said, “if we are born again, we are never the smartest person in the room.” While I was praying yesterday, the Lord spoke these words to me about the church. “The Holy Spirit does not want to be contained. The Holy Spirit leads! This is no time to allow flesh and blood to … [Read more…]
God wants to be your miracle (your healing, your provision, etc…). All the names of God (Yahweh-Tsidkenu, Yahweh-Rapha, Yahweh-Jireh, etc…), all the promises in the bible point to His being–Love (His divine nature, 2 Peter 1:4, 1 John 4:8). All the blessing comes from knowing Him and being connected to Him (John 7:3, John 15:4-5). … [Read more…]
Prayer should have scripture all through it, yet it should be personal. Come with clean hands (Psalm 24:3–6 ). ask for forgiveness, receive His forgiveness (it is He who justifies), we are made righteous, and then pray according to His word. For me, this is the beginning of prayer and it also magnifies God, praises … [Read more…]
Love heals unconditionally and without effort (never fails)! Psalm 103:3 (ESV) 3 who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases,
I am so thankful for those who have helped me see my Father and His Son–Jesus more clearly. I am also thankful for the ones who have helped me see who I am in Christ more clearly. God is good and so are His people.
A renewed mind will get us to a place where we are healed! Seated in heavenly places where our Father says,” sit beside me and I will make your enemies your footstool (we are joint heirs with Christ)! Sickness and disease have no place even near us (evil one touches us not). #faith#love#hope#God#jesus#jointheirs#healed#raisedfaith#victory
Brothers and sisters, do not lose our heads (Matthew 11:6)!

When one preaches and teaches God’s word from the anointing God provided, one does not have to defend his or her own words because they are preaching and teaching from His words! Our ways are lower than His ways unless our minds are renewed to His words. Preach Him rather than you or me! P. … [Read more…]

Traditions are everywhere and they need to be confronted and dismantled by truth–scripture–and the people who are willing to speak the truth. So many wonders why God has not moved on their behalf (blessed them), sometimes the reasons are simply in scripture and applying scripture in our lives. Mark 7:13 (ESV): 13 thus making void the … [Read more…]
I leave you with this… Have a blessed day! #faith #love #hope #God #JesusIsLord #victory #raisedfaith Colossians 3:23–24 (ESV): 23 Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, 24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.
“Decisions, they can either bless us or curse us!” This applies to individuals, businesses, and governments. “We end this opinion where we began. Abortion presents a profound moral question. The Constitution does not prohibit the citizens of each State from regulating or prohibiting abortion. Roe and Casey arrogated that authority. We now overrule those decisions … [Read more…]
Jesus is in control! No, He is not! You are through Him. Free will is God’s way because love will not force His or Her way onto someone else (He will not force us to win). He came to undo the works of the enemy (John 10:10, 1 John 3:8); He has given us authority … [Read more…]
If God did not have works, we would be in trouble. Now think about the people around us who are in need. We are the feet and hands of His body. People need Jesus. People need love. People need money. People need each other. People need YOU. 1 John 3:16–18 (ESV): 16 By this we … [Read more…]
There is a difference between those who want to stretch us to excellence versus those who want to see us defeated. Do not let imaginations define people; let God, His words, and fruits define them. We all can do better if we allow God to fine-tune our thinking; sometimes, God even uses other people to … [Read more…]
There are too many “minds” in the Body of Christ. We must be humble enough to admit we are wrong,-for Christ and our sake. Satan is a deceiver, an accuser, and a murderer from the beginning. His goals are simple; destroy us and the people around us. The Father’s will? The Father’s will is to … [Read more…]
Some say there is no proof of a worldwide flood, yet there are places similar to the Grand Canyon throughout the world. Some say places like these took millions of years to form when one can look at Mount Saint Helens where canyons were created within hours. The truth is, there was a worldwide flood … [Read more…]
Walking in the Spirit: I would rather follow a Holy Spirit-filled woman, over a prideful man. Women?

The rainbows are out again. It makes me think about how much God loves us; even though mankind can be stiff-necked (stubborn) at times, God still loves us enough to make the rainbow. The rainbow is another sign in scripture -and in this fallen world- that tells His people not to worry. We have an … [Read more…]
God thought you–who were called by His name– were worth the price or He would have never sent the payment.
The more I read about Peter, the more I understand why he became the head of the church for a season. If we are not asking Jesus questions (praying to the Father, reading His word, being led by the Holy Spirit) we are missing out (wisdom and knowledge). If I was walking with the Son … [Read more…]
The very truth that some reject is the very truth that can set them free. If we are not glowing or walking on water (figure of speech), we have room for improvement, and the Holy Spirit is willing to help. The finished work of Christ does not take away the truth that God is still … [Read more…]
Sadly, in today’s society many see the wrongs others do rather than seeing how they might help these individuals. If we look at scripture, Jesus was humble enough to wash people’s feet and do good while the Pharisees pointed out wrong and did evil. We should be like our Father and not the other way … [Read more…]
Above anything else, we should want to love like Him, but it takes faith in Him to get us there.

There should be a line drawn spiritually between us and the world, but not physically. Go into the world, not go into the church (we can go to church, making a point). #victory Today is a good day to love the world (John 3:16, Matthew 28:16–20). #faith#love#hope#god#Jesus#GreatCommission
If we are in Christ, right NOW there is no condemnation for those who do not walk according to the flesh (Romans 8:1). There is a time for correction, but correction should never be the continued focus of ministry. As Christians we must have faith in the very Holy Spirit who helped save us; we … [Read more…]
Faith is NOT the way to God’s heart; we already have His heart (He already loved and loves us). Faith is the way for us to see Him. Faith is the way for us to understand Him and His ways. Faith is the way to overcome fear and worry which leads to torment. Faith leads … [Read more…]
In Christ, we are success waiting to happen; stop waiting and start doing. Do you have God-given dreams? To be a writer? To be a chef? An artist? A minister of truth?

Only a demon would say, “what good did the Word of God do Him?” We rebuke Satan in Jesus’ name. We are healed, set free, and delivered from the works of the enemy. We are God’s children and heirs.

What are the consequences of not reading and studying the Bible? Answer: You do not know God or His Son.
