Greetings to all in the precious name of Jesus Christ! I pray that all is well with everyone. I'd like to share this revelation that was given to me just minutes ago. May it bless you as much as it did me. As I was sitting here, on my bed, with peace saturating my mind. The holy ghost showed me a glimpse of my life and the answer to the call. You might wonder what I mean about the glimpse of my life and the answer to the call. Well, I saw how so many times in my life when I was pressed with hardships, hurts, pains, disappointment, stress, distress, sickness, and struggle that the Lord in that time strengthened me to go on through. These were, in my mind, the darkest times in my life and as the scripture declares in 2 Corinthians 12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. His strength was made perfect through it all just like he said it would. I encourage each and everyone of you to hold onto Gods' unchanging word. So many times I would ask myself, am I doing all that I can do to show God that I truly love him? Am I completely sold out to him? Have I been completely delivered from myself? (Self: My wants, my needs, my desires??) I sing the song YES by Skekinah Glory but have I really said, "YES?" It is at this time that I look back and realize that my answer to his call to serve him was "YES." Each time I went through a struggle and didn't give up, I was saying, "YES," each time I suffered persecution and didn't give up, I was saying, "YES," each time I suffered sickness in my body, I was saying, "YES," each time I felt discouraged and didn't throw in the towel, I was saying, "YES," each time I was hurt and wounded in the house of God and kept right on coming to service week after week and not leaving the house of God, I was saying, "YES." My answer has always been "YES." What will your answer be when he calls? When he calls you to suffer, be persecuted, wrongfully accused, suffer sickness, hurt, disappointment, when false witnesses rise up against you, hated without a cause, and wounded by those who say they love you? Will you throw in the towel, walk away, get into a shouting match, fight, curse, leave the house of God to find another place of worship, give up on life, have a pity party or will you allow his strength to be made perfect in your weakness? I love you all today and I pray that God blesses each and every eye that rests upon this note. His Servant & Your Sister In Christ D4Christ

Greetings to all in the precious Name of Jesus Christ, I'd like to share with you the question that came to my mind this morning after getting off my knees in prayer. Why is it easier for some Christians to go back into the world? As I got up from prayer and began to walk around the room the answer came so clear by the spirit. It's because they weren't fully in to begin with. Let me explain. The word of God declares in 1 John 2:19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us. If you are sold out living the best life you know how through the word of God, it WILL NOT, hear me be easy for you to return to the very thing (EGYPT) our God has delivered you from. Except your feet were rooted in the first place. You cannot live a life for Christ and play with the Devil on his territory when it's convenient for you. WHY NOT??? Because the scriptures declare in Luke 16:13 No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. It just won't work. You have to have a made up mind that you're going to serve God only and to him only will you bow. STOP creeping people of God thinking no one knows what you're doing, for God sees all and knows all and you never know when your covers will be snatched off. Stop playing catch me if you can because you don't want your MESS to be uncovered in the presence of the people of God in the house. Our God is able to use whom he will to uncover your MESS. The scripture declares in 1 Corinthians 4:5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God. So many times we set ourselves up for a fall when we think we can handle friendships with unsaved people. It is not possible for you to hang out, be best buddies, socialize in worldly organizations/events without being influenced by it in some way. We are suppose to spend time with one another and draw strength, pray for one another, break bread with one another daily. That's what the apostles did. Why do you think we're not suppose to do the same thing? That's why there's such great division in the house of God. We prefer to spend time with friends of the world than those of the household of faith. Now you know God is not pleased with that. We're suppose to prefer one another. Ok...you don't have to believe me here's what the scripture declares in Acts 2:42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. and in Acts 2:46-47 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, 47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved. There is no way saints of the most high God that you can go forward in Christ looking back. Let the past stay in the past. The scripture declares in Luke 9:62 And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. Not my words, but the word of God....be very careful because it may be that you think you're so spiritual you can handle it and hang out, listen to ungodly conversations, partake in other men's sin but you can't. ONLY GOD can...you don't have any power to save, deliver, or set anyone free from there sin. If you're not sharing the Word of God with them and you're sitting there indulging in something that's not edifying you or them, then you're leaving yourself open for the enemy. Do you think you can play with fire and not get burned???? The scripture declares in Proverbs 6:27 Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned? We are not super saints, we are still enrobbed in FLESH...... And don't forget this.....the scripture declares in James 4:4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. You commit spiritual adultery every time you leave God and go after the pleasures & friendships of the world. You put these relationships, events, organizations in the place where time with your God should be. You're cheating on him.....when his word declares in 1 John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. Ok....The word of God speaks for itself. I just wanted to share with you what the spirit led me to write this morning. I pray that it is a blessing to all who read it. I love you, all. Have a blessed & prosperous day, everyone!!!!

Greetings to all in the precious Name of Jesus Christ, I thank God for this beautiful morning that he has so graciously allowed us to see. As I sit here, at my desk, the thought came to my mind why so many visitors don't come to the altar anymore. Why aren't people hungry for the holy ghost like they use to be? I was reading in the book of Acts chapter eight when the answer came so clear. Here's what I read: 18 And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money, 19 Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost. 20 But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money. 21 Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God. 22 Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee. 23 For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity. 24 Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the LORD for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me. People would rather give their money, service, or be a pew warmer instead of seek God that they might live. What are the hinderances preventing people from receiving the holy ghost? Could it be a live in boyfriend, a married man or woman's sweetheart on the side, alcohol/drugs, homosexuality, lying lips or a deceitful heart???? What is it? None of these things are too hard for God to deliver anyone from. All it takes is an sincere heart and saints that are willing to love on people until the Lord changes their heart. We have to show forth the love of God and keep thiese people lifted up in prayer even fasting for them to be filled with the holy ghost and not giving up until the Lord fills them. The thing that hurts my heart the most is hearing about people passing away and knowing they weren't baptized in Jesus Name or filled with the holy ghost. We have to be more concerned about souls. AMEN! So many times we sing, shout, work in ministries but the hearts of the people aren't right. This is what Simon's problem was for he thought he could purchase the power of God to lay hands on people so that they might receive the holy ghost. His heart truly wasn't right and this was a hinderance to him receiving the holy ghost. So many times souls are overlooked because they're doing such great works in the ministries of churches but without the holy ghost. It is vital that we possess the holy ghost, without it we are none of his. Peter told Simon to repent for his wickedness and pray to God that the thoughts of his heart might be forgiven him. His heart was not pleasing in the sight of God. It doesn't matter how we please men but God. God is the only one we should seek to please inside out because with all you do it will NEVER be enough to please any man. Simon asked Peter to pray for him that none of the things that were spoken should come upon him. This is the job of every holy ghost filled beilever to pray for those who we know aren't filled with the holy ghost that whatever the hinderance is within their heart be removed that they might recieve the gift of the holy ghost. We can't stand by and watch souls dying while they yet live. Come on saints, let's be about our Father's business. There is absolutely nothing more important than the souls that don't know him or bear his spirit. God Bless You All Have a blessed and prosperous day!

Praise the Lord Everybody!!! I would like to share with you what's on my heart this morning. The title of my note says it all and that's a question I'd like to ask all of you. Who's ministry is it, Jesus or man? I have seen churches that will hold programs and sing for 2 hours and the people of God will shout, sing, and dance all the down the aisle. When it's time for the word of God (the Meat) to come forth the same people will be ready to make excuses and leave, watch the clock, or even fall asleep. And we wonder why the church is in the shape it's in. God is not pleased with this. Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ has been programmed out of the house of God. There's an entertaining spirit that has entered the church. Watchmen, where are you? Wake up, and see that the enemy has crept into the house of God. Have you ever wondered why the multitudes followed Jesus? I'll tell you why, it's because the words he spoke were different and they had never heard any man that was unlearned speak with such authority, wisdom, and knowledge. Amazed by the parables he would use to teach them, all they wanted was to hear more and know more. So they followed him. Our watchmen are too busy making names for themselves, what happened to Jesus. Prime example, so many of the sheperds have named ministries after themselves, WHY? Is it about the sheperd's kingdom (has no KINGDOM) or is it about the KINGDOM of GOD? How can we forget the life of Jesus and his ministry when he was on earth for 33 years? Examine the scriptures, PLEASE!!! He never made anything about himself he repeatedly stated, he was here to do the will of (The FATHER) who sent him. The scripture declares in Matthew 9:10-13 10And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples. 11And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners? 12But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick. 13But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. Programs are taking place in the house of God where the hearers are saved, what about the sinners. Did Jesus not say that he didn't come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance. What benefit is it to the kingdom if the sheperd's are only preaching to the saints? We've already come to repentance and been baptized with the Holy Ghost. There are people out there that have never heard about God's plan of Salvation, they don't know that they don't have to die in that sinful state, they don't know that Jesus died for them and that nomatter what they've done their sins can be washed away. Everything under the sun is happening in the house of God and it's all suppose to be for the kingdoms' sake. What about the souls? Who's paying attention to the brothers and sisters who are one step away from walking out of the door? Who's paying attention to notice that brother so and so or sister so and so has missed two weeks out of church? Who's visiting the sick, homeless, prisoners even they should be empowered with the hope that is within us that's in Christ Jesus? When you fast and consecrate yourself to the Lord, give that meal to someone in need and stop counting down to when you can eat. Are you paying attention people of God? Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ didn't give all this anointing to us to keep it to ourselves and among ourselves. We are suppose to be helpers one to another. You have saints that are hurting sitting right in the house of God. Where's the discernment? Truly we know that we are living in the last day. The scriptures declares in 2 Timothy 3:1 2 Timothy 3 1This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 6For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. 9But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as their's also was. 10But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, 11Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me. 12Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. 13But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. 14But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; 15And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. Now if the sheperds are in position to hear from God then the word of God will come forth and do exactly what it declares in 2 Timothy 3:16. if you don't see any of these things taking place after the word of God comes forth then you need to examine whether the sheperd is in the flesh, preaching to appease the people, or seeking his own glory. A true man of God will not accept it when someone tells him, "Pastor you preached today, because he understands that he didn't do anything but humble himself that he might be a vessel to be used to preached the message our Lord has imparted in him to preach to the people of God." You see the spirit searches the hearts of men and will impart a word to the preacher to speak to the people of God, visitors, and sinners. He (Spirit) knows what the need is in the house every service. 2 Timothy 3:16All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: Acts 10:25And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him. 26But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man. We don't worship the creature but the creator. You put your pastor in danger everytime you give him Gods' glory. For our God is a jealous God and he will share his glory with no man. Please be mindful of this. It's time out for prosperity messages, breakthrough, breakout etc....what about endurance, faith, prayer and fasting messages? These are the things that will prepare you for the evil day that's ahead, these are things that will prepare you for Satan's attacks when they come in like a flood and you can't see your way. You can have all the wealth, breakthroughs and breakouts you want but what about having power with God to rebuke cancer out of your body or pain that's so intense you can't move, to lay hands on the sick and they recover, pray for the body of Christ to be unified nomatter the denomination and see sheperds from every denomination come and reason together about the Holy Scriptures. What about laying hands on sinners and they receive the Holy Ghost? The people of God have become so superficial. If you don't dress a certain way or look a certain way then you're treated differently. Have you ever just sat back and watched the people of God when service is dismissed? If you do, you'll see people greet some with a casual handshake, others with a big smile and hug, and then others with just the words praise the lord. Why not greet everyone the same if you have the same love for everyone and that's Godly love? There is no respecter of persons in Christ. Don't you know that's sin? The scripture declares in James 2:9 But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors. I love you all today and it is my heart's desire to see us all make it into the kingdom of God, for souls to come to repentance and filled with the Holy Ghost, speaking in other tongues. Let's get right church and let's prepare for our heavenly home. It's time for kingdom work. Remind yourself daily of what true ministry is about. It's not about the number or size of the church, how well you sang in worship, or how many services you attended but it's about Jesus and the saving of souls to the upbuilding of the kingdom. It's not Gods' desire that any soul should perish. It's harvest time people of God.......it's harvest time...... God Bless You!!!

5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.

6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?

7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.

8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

Acts 1:5-8

2 He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.

3 And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism.

4 Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.

5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied. Acts 19:2-6

1 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:

2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.

3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?

5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

John 3:1-6

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made the same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.

37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?

38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the LORD our God shall call.

40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.

41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.

42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.

43 And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.

44 And all that believed were together, and had all things common;

45 And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.

46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,

47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.

Acts 2:32-47

(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured(helped) thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)

2Corinthians 6:2

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

John 3:16
