What a mighty God!

Well life just doesn’t get any better that this. Traveling and preaching this glorious gospel of our Lord and Savior. Words cannot express the gratefulness for those that cover us with their prayers, go out of their way to see that my family and I are comfortable. That give so we can do what Father called us to do, there is a blessing for them. God has some of the sweetest children and I love getting to met them here as well as overseas. We are running revival after revival, planning and preparing for the ministry and the little bit of work that God allows us to do for his kingdom. Trying by his Spirit to touch lives and see them transformed by the word and his good Holy Ghost. Some weird people slip around in the dark hunting ghosts and spirits, listening for any kind of noise. In realty they are playing with demons and evil spirits. Well come to the house of God and see and experience a real Spirit, that wants to change your life! That will comfort you, and help you each day that the Lord allows you to live. That can set you free to enjoy this journey we call life.

Well the folks in KY as well as VA sure know how to treat a preacher as well as have CHURCH. People say that God does not heal anymore, well as one preach friend say “He ani’t healing any less either”. One lady in the services had the fire of the Holy Ghost come upon her and said she had never felt anything like it. A preacher’s wife at that and 72 yrs young! He is proving himself to his people that are still hungry and willing to allow him to move in their lives as well as their bodies.

2 Chronicles 16:9 For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth to show Himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him.

That word perfect means fully committed to him our God. We can learn much from this chapter of the bible. How a man was perfect or fully committed to God Almighty and was helped of the Lord. But he forgot God and leaned toward man and other sources. The condition of his heart was so bad, that God sent him a seer to reveal to him his sin and foolishness. He rejected the seer and his message and put him in jail. My friend if God allows His word, His Spirit, or His servant to come to us, there is a reason. Not to make us hurt or just to be cruel, but to bring correction to our lives. To aid and comfort as well as to bring about healing and wholeness in our spirit and life.

Psalm 103:13 Like a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him. 14) For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we dust.

We forget his compassion and concern for you. A lot of ministers forget this and want to tan their hides. How sad many times as I study his word, I will weep and see my own short comings and must repent, before I can walk before the people. I just want them (God’s people and wayward children) to know that he loves and does care and will move for them. Yes there will be some correction in our life, but to build us up and make vessels of honor fit for the master’s use. If we the body of Christ (there is only one body) can just come together and reap this last day harvest. Those that are lost and need God’s help to get out of the pit of sin and despair. To know joy (Romans 14:18) and to have peace, and just to be PLAIN HAPPY. Thank God it is there for whom so ever will. That means it belongs to you, me or whoever.

Special Note: If you need prayer for anything thing or if this is a blessing or if you would like to be a part of this ministry and the ongoing mission work, just email us for information on projects under way!

UP AND RUNNING FOR JESUS AGAIN!

2009-03-15T19:55:00Z

Thank God for his mercy and grace. I am up and traveling once again for the Lord. Lord willing I am to be traveling close to 3,ooo miles for him running revivals. We have gone trough some deep valleys, but we were only passing through! Psalms 84:6 Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.7)They go from strength to strength...
The word Baca is valley of tears or weeping. It would take a lot of tears to fill a well.Verse 7 means that when we pray and weep before God we will go from strength to strength. I thank God for those that prayed and help carry me through the valley of Baca. For the real family of God who loved me and checked on me to see if I was alright. It has not been easy, but by the grace of God I passed THROUGH and God did not say we have to live there. Hold on to that unchanging hand, he will never let go. It's good to crawl into daddy,s lap and weep and let Him hold you and whisper in your spirit "it's going to be alright, your just passing through". There are yet more mountains to climb, miracles to behold. Souls to be brought into the kingdom, more work that must be done. Webster says the word THROUGH means into one side and out at the other side of. So my brother and my sister, there is the other side of what you have enter. Oh you may not see it or feel it but it there just ahead of you. Keep praying and weeping, because strength is coming to you, more strength. The words says your not losing- the devil does, your gaining every day, your coming closer to your reward. Keep pressing toward the prize... it's just ahead. Much love to all who have prayed and given to the ministry to keep it going. There were days I felt sorry for myself as friends and love ones let me down, and the enemy came every day to visit and tell me it was over (7 months of not being able to walk), oh if we were as faithful as the old enemy. Remember close to 3,000 miles just this month alone, as I have made it to the other side and you will to in Jesus's name!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

2009-01-02T15:02:00Z

NAHUM 1:7 THE LORD IS GOOD, A STRONG HOLD IN THE DAY OF TROUBLE; AND HE KNOWETH THEM THAT TRUST IN HIM.

Well 2008 is gone except for the history books. The old saying is so true that time stands still for no man. How are you going into 2009, with a renewed faith? Looking for more miracles and answers to prayers that we have been praying to God for? With a deeper love for the master and a deeper respect for his truth as well as a closer relationship with him. With each New Year it’s a chance to do more for the soon coming kingdom of our dear Lord. We are now closer than we have ever been to the coming of our Saviour. This last Christmas 08 our family started a new tradition with our grandson. We focus more on the real meaning of Christmas being Jesus’ birthday. Well he wanted to give Jesus a birthday card. So our daughter took him and bought a balloon with a beautiful ribbon and he made him a card. Well we went outside and let the balloon go and it was floating up and going toward a big tree. I thought to myself if it gets tangled that I could hear him say get it! I whispered please Lord and as it moved toward these limbs and moving up, just moved through the limbs. Right up through a fork in the limbs that I had not seen and up, up it went till we could no longer see it. I did not see that fork till it was at it and a lot of times we can’t see our way out. Well I almost cried as I thought this is just like the Lord has been in 08 and will be in 09. Places that looked impossible to clear it and make it through. Good news as well as bad news came into our ears and we whispered how would we make it. Not seeing a way with the natural eye and the mountains looming over us. By the grace and hand of God we were guided right through the storms, just as that balloon was guided up through the naked branches. The master has been faithful to his word and has made the devil a liar. The old song says “God is bigger that all my problems”. I go out of 2008 and say, “God has been good to me”. Even with surgery just a few days ahead me “ the day of trouble; and he knoweth them”. You know what your “ day of trouble” is in your life as well as the master knows. Faith is no good unless it is tried, and a lot of times it is tried by fire (1 Peter 1:7). We can look to the auther of our faith (Heb 12:2). In the many years that I have serve him he has never let me down and never will! We can rejoice in knowing that he is no respect of persons and will never let you down as well. What ever comes our way in this New Year, we can face it with the strength of the Lord and his word hid in our hearts, amen.

PS.I WILL BE POSTING MY PROGRESS ON HOUSTON REVIVAL BLOG SITE EVERY FEW DAYS AFTER THE SURGERY AND ENEN POST THE PHOTOS OF THE INSIDE OF MY KNEE! http://houstonsrevivals.blogspot.com

TIME IS MOVING ON!

2008-11-23T16:12:00Z

JOB 7:6 MY DAYS ARE SWIFTER THAN A WEAVER’S SHUTTLE…

Well it is almost Thanksgiving and Christmas 08 and if you’re like me your wondering where the year went? In the text Job was at a very difficult place in his life. A hard trial had come his way and he wanted to die. Thank God that’s not the end of the story, and he came forth as gold with twice as much. See my friends we are winners right where we stand. In the mist of the fire our Jesus is with us and will never leave us. We shall come out with VICTORY!

Some may not know it, this year started with my feet hitting the ground and running for the Master. Last November I fell pretty hard and started having trouble with my left knee. Long story short, it has just shut me down. I hurt my ankle in June and was in a cast for about 7 weeks. This ended up really bothering my knee and unless the Lord moves between now and then will have to have surgery in Jan. Hard places are not rare to the child of God. It forces us into the place and position that God has for us. Coming forth as gold so that the Master can use us. So hold on and get ready for that new place in God, to possess a inter depth with the Master. A closer walk with more of a likeness of the Lord and not so much of self.

My prayer for each of you is peace, love and joy during this special time of year. That you will not take Christ out of Christmas and you look forward to a blessed New Year.

I found some photos of my first mission trip back in 1987 (21 yrs ago), the Lord allowed me to take 9 on that trip. What a time we had, coming in at close to 1 o’clock in the morning and singing out hearts out. We were happy to be able to work for the Lord and counting it an honor. There are some other trips as well of the places we went in the island country of Jamaica. Some in the photos have gone on to there reward. Other’s like myself are still fighting a good fight and waiting till the Master says “your finish and your work done, now come home”. What a day that will be when my Jesus I shall see- when I am about to get my shout on! Be blessed and I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I did, and please remember the ministry and myself in prayer. I am really ready to get back to what I am called to do preach His glorious gospel.

From a Missionary’s heart

Please Pray

LIFE'S ROAD

2008-06-09T14:18:00Z

Psalm 55:6 And I said for, Oh that I had wings like a dove! For then would I fly away, and be at rest.

7 Lo, then would I wander far off, and remain in the wilderness. Selah

8 I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest.

It’s a hard road at times, but a good road. In the text David as close to God as he was, had moments when he wanted to get away from it all and just escape the problems and pressures of life.

Job said in Job 14:1Man that is born of a woman is of a few days, and full of trouble. In the text most believe it was during the rebellion of Absalom his own son. Family troubles or as the younger folks call it “Family Drama”. David had been betrayed and as a human being, there was hurts and pain- but we must stay on the road. This “highway of holiness” and keep our hearts clean and pure before the Lord. From time to time we will need a refuge, a hiding place from the enemy as the road gets a little rough. Nahum 1:7… a strong hold in the day of trouble. Proverbs 18:10 The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe. David said the Lord was his high tower also a rock, a fortress and a buckler as well as a horn of salvation. David learned when the road got rough and he needs protection to look to God. Life is a journey we travel and sometimes the road is not to good. Just like the roads in South America that are pure sand with holes waist deep. To be able to drive well it needs rain, as the rain compact the sand and makes good traveling. During the dry season the sand is loose and easy to slide. It just like the dry seasons in our life when our journey is a little more difficult to advance forward for and in the kingdom of God. The best driver can slide and even wreck if not careful. Prayer just like the rain will compact the road and make the journey easier During these season as always, but especially during these times we must be on guard like never before. The holes, loose sand and sharp curves, we must drive very slow and watch our words and actions, but still go forward. The Lord has promised that it would not get to bad that we can’t travel and He is ever with us, His Sweet Spirit to guide us. Yes it’s a hard road at times, but a good road that leads to glory. So I will keep traveling this old road come what may, because I know where it ends! Oh the enemy of our souls wants us to take a different road, that to the flesh looks better, but where does it end? An old song said, “I sit down to rest, for my feet had got so weary, but then I heard a voice within me say, you got to keep on walking, keep on walking. Walking in the light of the Lord, you will get to heaven someday, better get in the right way, walking in the light of the Lord”.

SPECIAL NOTE: For an up-date on the last mission trip (an what a mission trip it was) and a little of what the Lord did go to my website under Missionary’s Heart. I believe it will bless your soul at mighty things the Lord is doing! I am home safe and sound-PRAISE THE LORD!!!!!!!!!!!

PLEASE PRAY PT 2

2008-04-16T15:51:00Z


	Acts 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. Well as always we had an awesome time in Tacoma,Virginia at a little church that sits on the side of a mountain. They are in a move of God like I have not seen in some time. they have had 26 saved in the last two months and Lord only knows how many filled with the Holy Ghost. Whole families getting saved and following on to know the Lord. Young people dancing in the Spirit like the church used to do, all I can say is it's just an awesome move of God. Miracles are taking place with out a man or woman touching them. Lord let this same anointing sweep across our nation once again. To where we enjoy going to Father's house and hate to leave again. Some remember when! Now please pray all prayer warriors as we prepare to go back oversea for another month long mission trip. We need strength and covering of the blood and the prayers of the saints as we travel. We want that same revival spirit to go with us and everywhere we travel, the people know that the Lord has come by there way (not us) but The Great I AM. Because where ever He goes something wonderful happens. We with all our hearts want to see the people bless and encouraged, and soul come into a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. There is so much to do in these last hours, so many souls that need Him. There are so many that there lives are so messed up, without hope- when in fact all they need is just a touch of our great Master's hand to make them whole and complete. I have seen His touch (not mine or yours) and I believe in laying on of hands and do. It's His touch that makes the difference to where addictions are broken, souls set free and lifes changed. Oh for the anointing and power of the real Holy Ghost to be back in our services . Not just noise and jumping around but true worship coming from a thankful heart. Trinidad, Guyana and the USA and every nation of the earth needs this kind of move. I see people fall out in the spirit and get up and live and act the same way-something is wrong. The Real Holy Ghost will bring about a change on the inside. As the old song says " make me love everybody, makes me love everybody, it good enough for me". Saints please pray for us, the mission trip and our nation and churches- we truly need it

WHOLE!

2008-03-31T20:11:00Z

EPHESIANS 3:19 AND TO KNOW THE LOVE OF CHRIST, WHICH PASSETH KNOWLEDGE, THAT YE MIGHT BE FILLED WITH ALL THE FULLNESS OF GOD.

FULLNESS= full number- full measure, that which has been completed. The word describes a ship with a full cargo and crew and a town with no empty house.

(play-row-mah) strongly emphasizes fullness and completion!

There is an old song that says, “till you have known the love of God”. I don’t think a Christian would argue with me saying no word can describe the love of God and to walk in fellowship with him. It’s better felt than told is the only way I can describe it. Everybody should know who Jesus is and to know his love, warmth and to feel his loving arm around them and have him dry away there tears. No wonder Katherine Kuhlman’s mother look up at her after receiving the Holy Ghost and said “Go tell the world about this”.

Many teach that the fullness of Christ is to be super human and to perform great miracles. Which miracles are a part of the believer’s everyday lives. There is also a power that comes in the believers life’s after receiving the Holy Ghost according to Acts 1:8. There is also a completion that should be in one’s life. The word completion according to Webster means= having all parts or elements. In other words not lacking anything complete or whole, FULL. This does not describe many Christian today, does it? They go through the motions felling empty, knowing that something is missing. God is wanting and trying to get us to that place, but most just don’t have time for the process. As I have said many times before that just a little church on Sunday is all of the God that they want or need. Oh if people knew what it is to die out to self and allow Jesus to be all in all in their lives. I mean not to know of him but to be intimate with and to walk in real fellowship with him just as Adam did in the cool of the day (Gen 3:1). For the most they don’t even know what there calling and purpose in the body of Christ is. Just as the children of Israel wander in the wildness 40 years so are many in the body of Christ just wandering. Every person in the body should take the time to lay them self on the alter and fellowship with the master of there souls. He want us full and complete and lacking nothing. It amazes me as an evangelist, which has prayer lines for people to come up in the lines. You ask them what they need and they say “I don’t know, but I need something”! Some come just to feel the anointing on there bodies, but sad to know they can experience the same anointing in there prayer closet or just lifting there hands in real worship at home or in services! It’s time for the body to quit settling and go after the fullness of God. To let nothing satisify us till we are complete and lacking nothing in the spirit- Amen!

APPETITE FOR GOD!

2008-03-16T13:42:00Z

Matthew 5:6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

Appetite= web says a natural desire for satisfying some want or need esp. for food.

The term hunger and thirst means an extreme or intense desire for something, here it refers to the righteousness of God. The children of Israel lost their appetite for God and the things of God many times. The lord would be forced to send judgment just to get their attention and bring them back to Him. 2Thessalonians 2:3…there came a falling away first. Paul does not say that people would stop coming to church for they are filling up where there is entertainment. Where there is a form and a fashion without the presences of God, man-made. But I believe he is saying they will lose their appetite or desire for God. A dear lady of God Mother Harris (97yrs) who just went home to be with the Lord. She lived during the depression and told me how they went 21 days without food. She said they would eat green plums or almost anything to just stop the hunger and the pain in her stomach. She had a strong desire just for food, any food. When I god saved over 30’s yrs ago, I had an appetite for God like Mother Harris had only mine was spiritual! I could not read his word enough or go to church enough. The more I ate the things of the Lord the more I wanted them. I wore the cover off my first bible in six months. I would not stop and still have not got enough of the Master. I did not stop till I was sanctified and filled with heaven’s sweet Holy Ghost speaking in other tongues. It did not take ten yrs; it only took three months because of my appetite for God. If we are not filled with God’s righteousness, it’s because we are not hungry enough.

Psalms 84:2 My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh crieth outh for the living God. In other words I want make it without you God. I see people that act like they will not make it if they don’t get a new car or concerts tickets. If they miss the big game they will faint. Young people and the newest game system, but not for the living God. It like that relationship just does not matter,

Jeremiah 29:13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.

Why are we not finding him could be we are not searching with our whole heart our whole desire? In Ephesians 3:19 talks of being “filled with all the fullness of God”. That word fullness means a full number- full measure, that which has been completed. The word describes a ship with a full cargo and crew and a town with no empty houses or like my suitcase when packing for the mission field. The gr. word strongly emphasizes fullness and completion! This does match our church world today. Just a little church on Sunday is all the God we need and don’t won’t to be bother anymore. It’s because we have lost our appetite for the Master and His great work. His high praises does not move us anymore. So therefore we need something to stir our flesh. Most don’t even know their place in the body of Christ or their gifts or callings. May I say this is not the will of our great God for us. He wants us whole and complete in Him, the fullness! Let get hungry for God again, stir our inner appetite for the most high and let’s work for the kingdom while we can!

SATAN'S MEETING

2008-02-01T16:42:00Z


	SATAN'S MEETING: (Read, even if you're busy) Satan called a worldwide convention of demons. In his opening address he said, "We can't keep Christians from going to church." "We can't keep them from reading their Bibles and knowing the truth." "We can't even keep them from forming an intimate relationship with their Savior." "Once they gain that connection with Jesus, our power over them is broken." "So let them go to their churches; let them have their covered dish dinners, BUT steal their time, so they don't have time to develop a relationship with Jesus Christ." "This is what I want you to do," said the devil: "Distract them from gaining hold of their Savior and maintaining that vital connection throughout their day!" "How shall we do this?" his demons shouted. "Keep them busy in the non-essentials of life and invent innumerable schemes to occupy their minds," he answered. "Tempt them to spend, spend, spend, and borrow, borrow, borrow." "Persuade the wives to go to work for long hours and the husbands to work 6-7 days each week, 10-12 hours a day, so they can afford their empty lifestyles." "Keep them from spending time with their children." "As their families fragment, soon, their homes will offer no escape from the pressures of work!" "Over-stimulate their minds so that they cannot hear that still, small voice." "Entice them to play the radio or cassette player whenever they drive." To keep the TV, VCR, CDs and their PCs going constantly in their home and see to it that every store and restaurant in the world plays non-biblical music constantly." "This will jam their minds and break that union with Christ." "Fill the coffee tables with magazines and newspapers." "Pound their minds with the news 24 hours a day." "Invade their driving moments with billboards." "Flood their mailboxes with junk mail, mail order catalogs, sweepstakes, and every kind of newsletter and promotional offering free products, services and false hopes." "Keep skinny, beautiful models on the magazines and TV so their husbands will believe that outward beauty is what's important, and they'll become dissatisfied with their wives." "Keep the wives too tired to love their husbands at night." "Give them headaches too!" "If they don't give their husbands the love they need, they will begin to look elsewhere." "That will fragment their families quickly!" "Give them Santa Claus to distract them from teaching their children the real meaning of Christmas." "Give them an Easter bunny so they won't talk about his resurrection and power over sin and death." "Even in their recreation, let them be excessive." "Have them return from their recreation exhausted." "Keep them too busy to go out in nature and reflect on God's creation. Send them to amusement parks, sporting events, plays, concerts, and movies instead." "Keep them busy, busy, busy!" "And when they meet for spiritual fellowship, involve them in gossip and small talk so that they leave with troubled consciences." "Crowd their lives with so many good causes they have no time to seek power from Jesus." "Soon they will be working in their own strength, sacrificing their health and family for the good of the cause." "It will work!" "It will work!" It was quite a plan! The demons went eagerly to their assignments causing Christians everywhere to get busier and more rushed, going here and there. Having little time for their God or their families. Having no time to tell others about the power of Jesus to change lives. I guess the question is, has the devil been successful in his schemes? You be the judge!!!!! Does "BUSY" mean: Being Under Satan's Yoke?

God has Not Forgotten!

2008-01-26T13:15:00Z

Matthew 6:33 But shall seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

To seek “first the kingdom of God and his righteousness” means to turn to him first for help, to fill your thoughts with his desires, to take his character for your pattern, and to serve and obey him in everything!

Now there are many the serve the Lord with a whole heart, while other just do lip serve for our great King. I want to be numbered with those that serve him with a whole heart, not just in words but deeds as well. I want to praise God for all he has done for me these last few months. Ever since I came back from overseas the enemy has attacked my body. He sometimes forgets I have healer that is so close to me he calls me friend. He has once again touched me and given me strength. I am not going into the details but the ministry was really on the line and looked like it was over. My schedule is filling up so fast, that I just stand amazed at what God is doing. We as human beings and flesh have a tendency to look with our fleshly eyes rather than through the eyes of the spirit and faith. Now I have served God for over 30 some years and know what I am talking about. We must do as Psalm 121:1 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. God is going to take care of his own; he has proven this time and time again. He watches over us, never taking his eyes off of us. In 2004 I gave a minister friend overseas a New Testament bible that I had bought from a ministry. In early 2006 while at his church where he pastors now, I saw that worn bible. I told him they now offer both Old and New Testament and I would by the grace of God get him one. These bibles sell for over a hundred dollars, and I had not been able to get him one. Not forgetting I prayed and asked the Lord to help me get him that bible to preach his word. Overseas they can’t just run to the Christian bookstore and pick one up as we do the cost is unreal. They count themselves blessed just to get a bible let alone a good study bible. Well while in revival in our state this month, the last night a brother came up to me and said “ Bro Joey I have a brand new bible that I want to give you, to give to who ever you feel lead to give it to”. He said I only lived a few minutes from the church where I was at, so he ran home and got it and brought it back. Of all the bibles on the market, he brought in one just like I told my pastor friend I would get him. I had to get my shout on right there, for I knew that Father had answered prayer again. The reason I am sharing this is someone is going through something and fell forgotten. The old enemy goes so far as to tell us that our God does not care. Well he is a lair and the father of them. The bible is on it way to that pastor overseas and I put a note in there and said you though I had forgotten, but I hadn’t. And neither has your Father forgotten you. Hold on and fight the good fight of faith and he will bring you out! Deliverance is on it’s way and you will come out of the fight with more than you began with- richer in faith- a stronger determination plus a greater relationship with our Father and will have the testimony just as me “ I was not forgotten!

ALMOST A WITCH !

2008-01-06T16:50:00Z

Psalms 62:11 God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; THAT POWER BELONGETH UNTO GOD.

Well I would like to share a bit of my testimony with all who will read. We are going through some difficult times, just like the bible says we would. I am doing this to give hope and strength to someone who might need it.

I was given away by my biological mother as a baby and was adopted by my grandparents, who I think of as my parents. I was Moses drew out of the water, and there has been several attempts of the enemy on my life. They passed away when I was eleven years old and when I was twelve ended up with my biological mother who was heavy into witchcraft. At around 15 she began grooming me to learn the craft as they call it. My mother was enrolled in one of the largest school of witches at the time that was in NC. We were doing rituals and she was teaching me. One night we did a ritual and I saw something that scared me to death. She kept pushing me to go on and to learn more. Well we had an aunt in our family that was saved and spirit filled and not ashamed of God! She would lay hands on you and her New Testament in the store and start speaking in tongues in as the saying goes” New York minute”. She believed in deliverance and that God had power to save- heal –and deliver. No one wanted her around unless someone was sick or dying (some of you know what that feels like)! They mocked her and called her “holy aunt”, which was really a compliment. Well my mother drank real bad and drinking one Saturday night. No doubt aunt being lead came to our house, her and her daughters. Who for years traveled with me and sang and played in revivals and on TV for years. Well my mother brought her book of spells into the room and began tell aunt that she was a white witch and that she did good and her power was from God. Which let me say here that even playing with the occult or witchcraft in any form is very dangerous! Well when this happen my aunt began shouting and speaking in tongues and dancing on one foot from one end of our living room to the other. As this was going on (I will stand before God If this is not so) the book of spells jumped, yes jumped out of my mother hand and fell to the floor. She tried to pick it up three times and the same thing happen. My mother was so fluster she threw it to the couch. Well I worked for a lady that worked for the phone company on the third shift. I slept at her house and stayed with her two boys while she worked. That night I didn’t even know what a bible concordance was, I looked up and found the scripture Exodus 22:18 Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live. I was already smoking and doing drugs by now in my life, but would have nothing to do with witchcraft. God showed me at 15 His power was real and the Holy Ghost was real and I needed not look for another power. Now I look back and see the hand of God and the calling of God on my life, and so thankful for the mercy and grace of God. I got saved and that same Holy Spirit I encounter in my living room that night at 18 Years old. One day I went to mother’s house, years later and she said I want to show you something. She took me out back to the trashcan and showed me all her books on the occult and witchcraft. Looking back I should have burned them, but was young in the Lord. She when home to be with the Lord in 2003 after much fasting and prayer a saved woman with fruits in her life, she never received the Holy Ghost speaking in other tongues, but she learned His power was the real power! God has a way to touch life’s and let people, even those that are running from God and don’t even know it-THAT HE IS REAL. My aunt is in heaven and I help preached her funeral because of that night. Her daughter told me years later they hear her calling my name out to God saying,” Please save that boy”. That was 33 years ago and one day will shout with her and my mother in heaven.

QUIT LAUGHING AT GOD !

Genesis 18: 12-15

Well we are in a brand New Year and God has blessed us and allow us to see it. I remember many years ago in a watch night service my first pastor held up a blank sheet of paper. He said it was ours in heaven and it was up to us what was put on our record there. This has stuck in my spirit for all the years. I think it’s awesome to start a New Year, but more so to be able to start fresh and new with Jesus Christ. That he will forgive us and renew us and bless us if we allow Him and obey Him!

In our text “Sarah laughed within herself”, God was telling Abraham he was going to fulfill his promise to him. Now Abraham and Sarah both old, 99 and 89 that they would have a child. It was more that she could comprehend at their age for them to have pleasure and her bring forth a child. Now we understand the world laughs everyday at the believers, for us trusting in his word. Thinking we must live separated from the world, live clean and holy, they laugh. We are just missing out on all the fun in life, all the rules and regulations. As for us laughing at God with our sanctified self, and our holy living, we shake the preacher’s hand. We have even had him in our house for dinner. Why we put the flower arrangement on the communion table. Laugh at God it unheard of, by the world yes, the heather, yes the unholy yes,yes,yes. Read the text God was saying he was going to fulfill his promise made almost 25 years earlier. He talking the unheard of, the impossible, something so new and different “she laughed ”. She even denied that she laughed. The truth is we laugh at God each time we say he can’t. We laugh every time we refuse to trust him and believe his word. I know we denied it, we can’t let those words come out of out mouth, but we laugh! There is a hungrier in my soul for more of Him and less of me. We are too late in the game to try to fool anyone; we must get down to business- God Business. Hebrews 12:1 … let us lay aside every weight; and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us (KJV). This race is coming to an end, and how many things were left undone in 2007, that we meant to do. Unbelief is sin and we laugh at God settling for it in our lives. Let’s take God at his word in 2008, let this be the year deliverance reigns in our lives, and the blessings overtake us. The year our lost love ones finds there way back home, into the Savior’s loving arms. Let this be year we stop laughing and God and start rejoicing in his promises! In the text verse 14 we need to remember the word of our God to a laughing Sarah “Is any thing too hard for the Lord “?
