Souls are the Goal!

The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that wins souls is wise. Proverbs 11:30

The New Year is off and running!!! Resolutions have been made, and gym memberships are high!LOL!! My encouragement today is simple, your plan for 2013 to win souls! So many times we start out doing really well with our goals, to reach people for Jesus- then we kind of get caught up with LIFE. Goals however are so important! Goals give you something to shoot for, and accomplish. Right now, I know a 20 year old young lady who has set a goal  to give out 50 tracts a day, and she does! Did you set any goals this year where Evangelism is concerned? Did you plan any outreaches in the summer for kids and our families in your neighborhood? Have you thought about what you will do to share Jesus this Halloween? What about missions? Have you asked God about giving to that great area of outreach? Maybe you have your plan ready and set to go,maybe you don't but be encouraged, there is still time!! Ask the LORD what He expects from you this year. Souls are the reason Jesus came into the earth and gave His life. Just that fact alone lets us know that people's life on Earth and the hereafter is important to God, and if its important to God it should be important to us too. Where would we be heading if someone had not shared Jesus with us???? Exactly! Pray, write it down, and get'er done! =)

No Fear In Death

What man can live and not see death? Can he deliver his life from the power of the grave? Psalm 89:48

 Two things are for certain in this life "death and taxes." Death surely comes to all of us, but there is no need to fear it. Its only a continuation of our new life in Christ,  without ANY more limitations, frustrations, and adverse situations.   Once death comes, we then get to see Christ face to face and experience FOREVER "joy unspeakable and full of glory!" That is what death means for every CHRISTian on the planet.  Just thinking about being with God and our loved ones who also died in Him, forever brings us sheer joy and delight! Death....we can not avoid it but we can surely PREPARE for it. God has given us His Son, and He already tasted the nasty side of death and Hell for us, so we won't have to. As you disciple and share Jesus this week, let them know that they have no reason to fear death. Its just a door, leading us home.=)

Faith for YOUR Greatest New Year

 By faith these people overthrew kingdoms, ruled with justice, and received what God had promised them. They shut the mouths of lions,  quenched the flames of fire, and escaped death by the edge of the sword. Their weakness was turned to strength. They became strong in battle and put whole armies to flight.  Women received their loved ones back again from death.

But others were tortured, refusing to turn from God in order to be set free. They placed their hope in a better life after the resurrection. Some were jeered at, and their backs were cut open with whips. Others were chained in prisons.  Some died by stoning, some were sawed in half, and others were killed with the sword. Some went about wearing skins of sheep and goats, destitute and oppressed and mistreated. They were too good for this world, wandering over deserts and mountains, hiding in caves and holes in the ground. All these people earned a good reputation because of their faith, yet none of them received all that God had promised.  For God had something better in mind for us, so that they would not reach perfection without us. Hebrews 11:33-40

 We believe that 2013 is going to be an historical year in the lives of many CHRISTians. We say that because in 2013, some of you are going to exercise the Word and faith that you have received since you first got Saved!!! Some of you will begin to believe God enough>>> to do some mighty exploits through His power that already works in you!!!  We know that all through out the year, the Holy Spirit has been speaking to you about what He wants you to do next year. We know He's been building you up and you have been really been pressin' in!!! Some have started getting up at 3, 4, 5am, just to be with Him!!!  He's been getting you ready, imparting unto you....

Well,  we are just days away from the New Year, and we speak boldness and blessing over you! We speak peace and prosperity over you! We speak INCREASE over you, so that the Kingdom of God IN you will flourish and advance God's agenda in the Earth and everywhere YOU go!!!! We hope you have truly enjoyed this Holyday Season, now further PREPARE  yourselves for 2013!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

CHRISTmas Prayer for YOU

Heavenly Father, we pray that as we near the appointed day, December 25th in which we celebrate Your Son's birth, that You would bless us with a stronger sense of Your presence. We pray for all those who will be traveling, that they would make it safely. We pray that even today, You would touch church family, friends, and neighbors to reach out to those-- who do not have anyone to spend this special day with. More than anything Father, we pray that Your love in us, will not only abound in us, but also attract the lost, the hurting, and the broken. May Your love in us manifest so strongly, that they will healed and transformed. We pray that all souls will rejoice in Your love gift today.  We pray that people will spend money within their means, and not feel any guilty if they cannot buy for everyone. We pray your peace over everyone that is reading this right now, and ask YOU to touch them where they need to be touched. We pray for our Pastors, President, and Leadership  asking you to protect, prosper, and empower them to Your glory. Finally Father, we thank You for sending Your precious Son to the Earth. Truly, Jesus is the greatest gift ever given. Amen.

Planning for Advancing

And the LORD answered me: “Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it. Habakkuk 2:2

Its December already! My, how this year flew by! We hope you were journaling and writing down all those God words and instructions from the LORD! For those of us who are serious about doing more than just praying, reading, fasting, and attending church service >>>this post is for YOU!!!
We have come to understand that we were born for such a time as this! We understand that Jesus did not just save us from something but TO something! We realize that advancing the Kingdom is going to require work, resources, and solid planning. So, this post is to encourage you to write an Action Plan for 2013!!! What has God said? Is it for now or later? How do I intend to help advance the Kingdom? What ministries will I invest my time and money into? What mission minded organizations will I help fund. What tracts will I buy, to put in Christmas bags for the kids in my neighborhood this year or next year? What kind of outreaches will I have for my neighbors? What is my outreach budget? These are all things that we need to seriously consider if we are serious about advancing the Kingdom. Enjoy this Holyday season, but start writing and watch God partner with you>>>to advance His Kingdom through YOU!!!!

Inviting People To Church or Jesus First?

For a Child is born to us, a Son is given to us. The government will rest on His shoulders. And He will be called: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6

  Jesus was born,  that we may be born again! Can I tell you that inviting people to church is not witnessing to them. You are asking them to come to a building, for a church service, where they will hear the Gospel presented. Here is my question. What if they don't make it to church? What if they decide not to go or get distracted or even die that evening? You had a marked moment in time with them...one that you may never get again and all you did was invite them to church. Now, for clarity's sake, we are not saying don't invite people to church but invite them to Jesus first!!! There are no free passes for those who attend church, only for those in relationship with Jesus Christ will receive eternal life.  Maybe you are shy. Maybe you are not confident. Well, we are going to pray for you. We touch and agree right now,  that TODAY you will receive the boldness you need to share the Good News and make disciples in Jesus name! It is so! In the coming year we will begin to post recordings called "Everything Evangelism." You will hear actual evangelism stories, receive teachings and tips, and just be encouraged, as you commit to advancing the Kingdom! So go, go; Go tell it on the mountains, over the hills, and everywhere, go tell it on the mountains, that Jesus Christ is born. 

We love you and may YOU sow

Black Friday for the Poor

They share freely and give generously to those in need. Their good deeds will be remembered forever. They will have influence and honor.Psalm 112:9

 And their off >>>>>> not the horses, but the shoppers!!! Everybody trying to get those presents 50 - 70% off, I get it! I believe God wants us to enjoy what we worked hard for all this year, and I believe that God would want us to be good stewards of His money during this season, but I also believe God wants us to really think about HOW MUCH we really NEED  to have a good Holyday Season. Once you have figured that out,  can we ask you to consider the poor and the needy too?! We're talking about putting more than $1.00 in the can, for the Salvation Army. We're talking about  spending some money to help people LIVE. How can I do that??? We're glad you asked! There is a great organization called Gospel for Asia and they have a thriving, reputable, ministry where you can buy some chickens for as little as $11.00 that will eventually reproduce and help a family thrive. Have a little more to spend? How about buying a pair of pigs for $65.00, or some goats, for $140.00. Just check out "gfa.org"  and please, please help these families enjoy a Black Friday that they will never forget, and neither will your Father in Heaven! =)

Seize the Season and Give

God so loved the world that He GAVE His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him, will not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16

 If you are a CHRISTian, the one thing you KNOW about God is that He is a giver. He gives us freely ALL things to enjoy! He gave us this planet to rule on, He gives us the power to get wealth, He camps His angels around us for our protection. He is a giver. As we get ready to enter and enjoy the Holyday Season and Thanksgiving, lets not only remember that God is a giver but lets also posture ourselves to give. May we seek and seize opportunities, to pray for people and compel them to Christ.May we with the wisdom of the Spirit,  invite someone into our home that may not have a place to live, or people to spend this special season with. May we open our wallets just a little wider, and bless the orphans and the widows. May we buy some presents for those who cannot, and or buy a pair of goats for a family overseas that will help them be self sustaining (more on that soon!). Make this Holyday Season count, make it BIG for someone else in the name of Jesus. Its time to be known as GIVERS just like our Daddy, will you take the time to pray and plan just how you and your family will IMPACT others for Jesus this Holyday Season! WE are and we invite you to do the same.

We love you and may YOU sow

Cleansed and Pardoned

Jeremiah 33:8
And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity whereby they have sinned against Me; and I will pardon all their iniquities whereby they have sinned and whereby they have transgressed against Me.

It's always beneficial to be aware that when we sin, we really do sin against God. Being and staying aware of this fact will help assist in being ever mindful of our actions. This truth will also cultivate a healthy fear of God.
Fear and reverence is such a critical part of our walk with God. As I grow in my relationship with the Father, I have begun to deeply consider more my own attitude towards sin. I don't want to sin against God. I have found myself moving slower in my actions and reactions. I love the Father SO much and I never want to hurt Him purposely. The truth is I do sin, and when I do I "feel" horrible. I learn from it, think about how to avoid it again, and God cleanses me when I come to Him. While it is true we have to repent to come into the Kingdom, we also have to repent to stay in the Kingdom. As you disciple others, be truthful about your struggles, and teach them how you overcome. Too many people get Saved thinking that all the struggles in the flesh are over, and so they get deeply disappointed when they stumble. Tell them like God tells us, My little children I'm writing to you, that you will not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate who pleads our case with the Father , Jesus Christ who is truly righteous.

We love you and may YOU sow 

and or reap a great HARVEST this week!

God Deals With Our Sins, He Does Not Deny Them

He will again have compassion on us; He will tread our iniquities under foot. Yes, You will cast all their sins into the depths of the sea. Micah 7:19

God is a God of compassion and He much prefers to show us mercy than to show us His wrath. This Scripture shows us just how compassionate God is. He is not waiting to condemn us, nor is He wanting to condemn us. He lets us come to Him and tell Him what He already knows...then he turns around and deals with it for us. This Scripture says that God will tread our sins under His feet. I think about how when you see a nasty bug and you go to kill that critter. You stomp it under your feet, and then you move on. God moves on with us.... He forgives us, He teaches us how to do better, He disciplines us and we move on. As you share Jesus and disciple, let them know God is going to tread on their sins, and cast it far away from Him and them.

We love you and may you sow and or reap a great HARVEST this week.

Encouraged to Evangelize the Whosoevers!

For "Everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved."
Romans 10:13

Just stop and look real good at that picture and then say that Scripture again. See the connection??? Oh that picture thrills my soul because it's describing what a section of our population looks like and gravitates towards! The Good News is that Jesus came for EVERYBODY! He did not come just for this part of society or that part--NO! He came for ALL OF US!!!! Why? Because SIN affects all of us! Some people get intimidated by the way people "look"on the outside and guess what--that is the enemy's purpose! You see a young man or woman all tatted up and your flesh may want you to cross the street to avoid them OR they may just look plain scary! LOL!! I understand and so does God, but guess what? That fact does not release us from our assignment! We can't be SO Heavenly minded, that we are no Earthly good. No condemnation--but we have to be so careful NOT focus on the exterior, instead of the interior...the precious spirit of man. Let your concern for their possible eternal damnation, encourage you more than their outward appearance discourages you!

We love you, and may you sow and or reap a great Harvest this week!

Evangelism Is ALL About God's POWER

But you shall receive power (ability, efficiency, and might) when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be My witnesses in Jerusalem and all Judea and Samaria and to the ends (the very bounds) of the earth. Acts 1:8

All around us people are enslaved to sin, hurting, and dying. While we may be well versed and rehearsed-- we CANNOT witness in our own strength and mental capability alone! NO we NEEEEED the Holy Spirit's infilling. The Holy Spirit knows ALL THINGS! When we go out- He already knows who's going to cross our path, and how much time they have left on the Earth!!! We cannot rely on the flesh to lead us, we need GOD to lead us. We cannot just gravitate toward those that "look" down and out on the outside, because there are plenty of well dressed folk on the outside, who are dying a slow death INSIDE. What I'm trying to say here, is that, don't think because someone "looks" like they are alright, that they ARE alright. When you go out, go out guided and filled with God's Spirit, and just go, go, GO! Go to anyone and every one you can! African, European, Latino, Asian, male, female, old, young, rich or poor. Death comes to all--so we must GO to all, in the power of the Holy Spirit!!!!

Search and Rescue

For the Son of Man has come to seek and save the lost. Luke 19:10

God's whole purpose for sending Jesus, and putting Him on the cross for our sins, and raising Him from the dead, was so Jesus could accomplish God's, "Search and Rescue Mission." Mankind has turned each one to his own ways not understanding the eternal consequences. No one on this planet enjoys living without a "good" parents' presence in their lives. No one enjoys suffering, and no one enjoys prolonged pain! Yet, before Christ, we lived like there was NO tomorrow, just today. Careless and wreckless in our sin, with no thought of the future or life after death. God in His goodness sent Jesus to rescue us from a Fatherless life on Earth, and eternally. Now, it is true, God created Hell for the devil and His angels, but those that reject God's salvation WILL go there too. Saints of God, every time we share Jesus-- we are attempting a "Search and Rescue Mission." Some will come with us, others will fight the Truth we represent, but it's ok. We just need to DO our part.

We love you and may you plant and reap a GREAT harvest this weekend!

The HOW About Jesus

But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires. Romans 13:14



This is a powerful Scripture and a most helpful and beneficial one for us all. With people losing jobs, houses, money etc...it is very comforting. Why? Because it gives us a key to avoid gratifying the flesh, and that is putting on Jesus Christ. Now, before we can put ON Jesus we have to not only KNOW Jesus, but the HOW-- about Jesus! As temptation to gratify our flesh grows with every new opportunity to "do it our way" or "help God out" we have to remember how Jesus did it when He walked the earth. He totally depended on the Father. He said I do what I see my Father do. WOW!!!! Just stop and think about that for a minute. Jesus did not give in to His flesh when things got tight or challenging. He prayed, and trusted His Father to provide whatever it was that He or His followers needed. Put on the LORD Jesus Christ. Teach those new babes the HOW about Jesus, and neither you or them will be over run by fleshly desires. We love you all and have a great weekend!!!

Freed to Follow & Freed to Fish

Jesus said to them, "Come, follow Me! I will teach you how to catch people instead of fish." At once they left their nets and followed Him. Matthew 4:19-20

As I meditated on this Scripture this week, I kept coming back to this question,"Is it safe then to believe that those who truly follow Jesus -- will truly fish for men?!" I get nothing but a resounding YES in my spirit! When Jesus came out of the desert, the first statement He made was for us all to REPENT! So, it only makes sense that those that follow Him, operate LIKE Him. Notice Jesus didn't say, "Follow Me! I will make you rich, successful, or the next gold medalist!" While there is NOTHING wrong with these things, Jesus number one mission on Earth and in the lives of men is to bring them to the Father through Him. It is our responsibility as FREE FOLLOWERS to "GO FISHING!" It matters not what your fish look like and it matters not if after they have been caught by the Gospel, they decide to jump back into the world's ocean of sin. NOT our job to detain the fish against their will.... our job is to catch their attention with the Word and give them an opportunity to stay in the boat!! WE have been called to fish for men --saints. Just like a school of fish, the lost are going through life aimlessly, just doing what they do. We are the King's fishermen and women---CAST your nets, give them Jesus, and leave the results to God! Have a great weekend! We love you (-:

Are You Awaiting God's Wrath or His Mercy?

For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him.  I Thessalonians 5.9-10

There are many things I'm thankful for. The greatest thing I'm thankful for is salvation. Oh I have had money, cars, jewelry, popularity, and all that jazz, but to KNOW that here on this turbulent planet and in the life to come...God's wrath does not await me. Oh there are times when bad things happen and a little voice whispers--God hates you or God is mad at you. My response to those voices--WHY should He be? The biggest mistake we can make as Followers of Christ is to think that our past or current adversity is a reflection of how God feels about us. Now we know there are times of chastening, and we KNOW when those whoopings are taking place don't we!LOL!! But that is just the Father's love-- NOT His wrath.

So, to those that don't know Jesus, let them know that GOD wants to show them mercy, and not His wrath. While it is true that God is angry with the wicked ever day, His love sent Jesus to the cross--for them...for us. God desires all of us to be with Him forever, and Jesus life, death, and resurrection made that possible. Have a safe holiday weekend, and share Jesus while you are enjoying your barbeque!

WELL Watered in the Time of Drought

Isaiah 58:11

The LORD will guide you always; He will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.


It is being reported that we in the US, are in the worst drought that has taken place for a long time. Even the great Mississippi River is needing assistance from the Army Corps of Engineers, so ships containing billions of dollars of precious cargo, can pass through the "Muddy Mississippi." As CHRISTians God is our help and He is willing, able, and faithful enough to DO just what our memory verse says. GOD will guide, satisfy, and strengthen us. In the middle of a "sun scorched land" GOD promises that we will BE like well watered gardens and a spring that never fails. As we witness and disciple people in Christ, lets assure them that their Heavenly Father has resources that will NEVER run out or dry up. Whether He provides , Lobster, Ramen noodles, or flesh from ravens by a brook...God takes care of His children!!! Even in this drought, we will thrive spiritually and physically because GOD is with us, and HE is providing everything we need!
Have a great weekend and tell somebody --- about Jesus. (-:

BE! So Others Can Become

John 5:19

So Jesus explained, "I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself. He does only what he sees the Father doing. Whatever the Father does, the Son also does.

Above is picture of a father and son, both joined the military and they even work together. I'm thinking that the son has always looked up to and admired his dad. Maybe from his youth, the son watched in admiration as his father supported their family and defended this country. Maybe the son watched or was aware of his father getting up early in the morning, cleaning his shoes, ironing his uniform, and preparing for work. I can just imagine this son watching his father help out strangers, return from war, and speak respectfully of and to others as well. NOW he has followed in his father's footsteps and they are doing a great work together!

Jesus did what He saw the Father do and obviously He saw the Father DO some pretty awesome things. Jesus then turned around and DID those same things. As we lead and disciple others, we MUST remember that they are watching us. Whatever we approve of they just might do the same. Whatever type of music, movies, clothing, lifestyle choices we make---they perhaps will eventually try to emulate us, as we gain more and more influence with them, because of the power and love of God in our lives. So, we have a great responsibility to copy Christ for us and for others. The world has seen enough worldliness and carnality in the church. It's time to show them the Father in all His holiness, glory, and love. It is truly time for us to be like our Father so others can become like Him too!

We love you and have a great weekend! (-:
