Acts 6:6
Stephen a man of God so full of faith and Holy Spirit Power,did spectacular miracles anong the people
For any kind of Christian service the most important prerequisite is to be filled with the Hoy Spirit. By the work of the Holy Spirit in Hs life Stephen was a good administrater, miracle worker, and evangelist.
Only by the Wonderful power of the Spirit can you accomplish these feats. And This is exactly what the Lord wants for you in your life.
Just as is today God's message is being preached in ever widening circles. And the number of His deciples are increasing vastly just as in the ancient days of old during the times of Acts in the Holy bible. Not just church goers ( Social Christians) but real honest died in the wool walking in the Spirit deciples of Christ doing the works of God!. Making a Difference "Today"!
During my meetings anyone who truly desires to be infilled with the power of the Holy Spirit "Will be filled" The Key word here is "Desire"
When I became a Born again Christian everything I learned of from the bible I emediately "Desired" to have it in my life "with all my heart"and I reached out to those with God living "Big"inside of them to lay hands on me to recieve so that I would be filled with all God desired for me to have. God so wonderfuly blessed my hunger and thirst by filling me up to overflowing with all I knew to recieve from Him.
Today ther are those who say they are Christians that have just joined large or somtimes small social Clubs under the name of church. But not walking in the Power of the Holy Spirit. This makes the difference. This is why the second chapter of Acts is so vitaly important to those " Desiring" to walk as Jesus did. What happened in the upper room is as important today as in those ancient days. like Stephen and all the rest of Jesus deciples we too must be out there making a difference or "what is it all about"? Are you too in one of those cooshy Christian social clubs? Are you learning about the deeper things of God?
There was work to be done in those days as there is today and many gave their lives to do it. Stephen was stoned Standing up for to those who hated Jesus and His followers..
What will you do when someone asks you to pray for them?
What will you do when someone asks you what you believe and why?
What will you do if you are attacted "persecuted" for your Christianity will you stand up for Christ and what He has done for you in your life?
I have said " yes" to all the above and have been tested many times.
Be Fully filled with all the power of God as in the 2 chapter of Acts and get into a Good Full Gospel teaching Church so you can grow to your fullest potential for the Lords Kingdome. Anything else is just old empty Traditions or Social clubs of our day.
Who will go! Who will be sent! Who will "Desire" to walk in His Power and be counted as one of " His" as they did in the days of old.
I pray You will "Desire" like Stephen to make a difference for God! You may never be stoned but will you stand up for Jesus as so so many did and are still doing for the Kingdom of God today!

Kicking against Cactus
2 Corinthians 10:3
It is true that I am an ordinary, weak human being, but I dont use human plans and methods to win my battles.
:4 I use God's mighty weapons, not those made by men, to knock down the devils strongholds.
:5These weapons can break down every proud argument against God and every wall that can be built to keep men from finding him.
Paul is speaking of the power God has given to him to be able to reach the lost and teach them of Gods Love and Plans for their life.
There is somthing unexplainable about Gods unfathomable Power that compells one to continue to write letters and travel thousands of miles by foot to preach and teach as Paul did to the Corinthians, in hopes to establish their hearts in Christ Jesus. Even though he never was one of Jesus followers he was touched and changed Miracuously on the road to Damascus. Jesus spoke to him personaly saying "why do you kick at the pricks". Kicking at cactus continues to inflict more an more pain on the person who continues kicking at it.
Paul was fighting an endless battle trying to do away with Jesus followers. Even today "Jesus Lives" Yes this same "Jesus" forever will live. and so will we who love and worship him. Because He is the only living God ( He Rose from the dead) and He promised we will live in heaven with Him
What other statues or picture or books do you know of that say they will die for your sins and have done it and then (Rose ) to heaven leaving the message to tell others to live in His love and recieve His pardon of forgivness forever with no punishent for what we have done in this life. All He askes is for you and I to accept His forgivness and love and spread it out and into the world we live.
Like Paul I too will give my all because He has changed my life forever and I will spread the truth untill the day He chooses to take me home. Are You?
Has Jesus made a difference in your life? Take time each day and reflect by thanking Him from your whole heart and by spreading this life changing news and life with others who so desperately are in such need of this unfathomable Love of God. He only requires your love and for you to freely give it to others the *Good News of Jesus Eternal Love*
Its so very simple but Life changing for all. Paul was never the same and was used of God to write most of the New testament that Billions of the world still reads today finding freedom from the darkened evils of this world.
Are you kicking at the Pricks in this life ? Jesus Christ is the only answer for the world today Isn't it time you stopped fighting and simply surrender your Life? he is waiting. Ask Him This Day to come into your Heart.
Dear Sweet Jesus
take my heart and change it. I have sinned, and need you so desperately to wipe my slate clean. I give my Life to You this day. Make me a new person and fill my heart with your love and forgivness. Send people to help me on my way. I Believe and trust in your Son Jesus who came to die in my stead to become sin instead of me. Thank you and work deeply in my Heart that I will not be punished living forever in a black hole of a burning world of "Hell" but instead Fullness, healing, Joy, and love living Eternaly with God in Heaven I promise to Live a life pleasing to you as I read your word daily and recvieve Holy guidance and find a good Church of strong believers. who embrace your Holy Spirit. Thank you Jesus Amen..

Happy Thanksgiving & Merry Christmas!
Will you have a wonderfull Holiday Season this year or will it Possess and controll you?
Baal means "Possessor"
and was the God of increase of flocks, crops, and families. Very clearly in our day baal can be termed as true "Greed"!
Those that worshipped baal loved the World "more than God"
Baal worship is "Self" worship. Love of the world. Lust for power, position, riches and domination which we are experiencing in our churches attracting people with gyms and luxurious coffee shoppes in hopes to apease their fleshly desires rather than "Prayer Rooms" to reflect and take those into needing prayer and a touch from God. Rather than a frothy chocolate Latté and a positive thinking book.
If this annoys you to see this .."IT Should"! It annoys and hurts me to see these things very openly happening all around our lives because I feel the"Brokeness of Gods Heart" Are you questioning these things too? Have you noticed all this craziness swallowing up our precious Thanksgiving and Christmas season. When? will this end. The smart thing to do is shop without the pressure little by little all through the year like many of us are now doing giving sincere time and thought purchasing gifts while finding items at lower prices without charging and going in debt. Many times year around sensible buying energizes us all to stop frantick purchasing because of "Hype" and pressure even before thanksgiving.
I love watching old movies simply because there is almost no Cussing, Twisted sexual scenes, lust blood or Violence. A time when people were proud to be Americans and could talk freely about Christianity and God without being made to feel weird or like one who has fallen off the deep end! All this to say most kids today think things have always been the way it is now and don't know what peace of the mind and heart truly is anymore.
Like Black friday, a day people like to shop for bargains is now turning into a race for what store can make the most Riches" lusting so hard after the Almighty Dollar, "True Brainwashing"and utter madness camping out on streets to get an unaffordable New Phone!! Who really cares if your phone is full of gadgets or not. All part of the money game and the world has fallen into this trap! Just like they planned."Elctronic Money Mongers!
Young adults are learning from us but what are we really passing down to them? Where have the warm and simple inexpensive traditions gone to?
So very sad! We are forsaking our precious quality family time as well as a time to "Thank God" for all we have! Our land, Our Freedom, Our Loved ones, our lifes, our health and most of all the "Peace" that "God" can bring that I had to find out after years of sorting out my own life throwing out all the meaningless confusion (Junk) that entrapped me for so many years and "Giving The Lord" first place in my life.
This ancient God of "baal" is taking over many multitudes with its "LUST" of "Material wealth"and Worldliess. Shouldn't we be giving away more of "Gods love" Since He is the only truth and reality in life that matters. Why are we apeasing the God of the "flesh" this worldly "lure to shop till we drop" spending needless money going in debt year after year!
But there is time to get back to the basics once again. Making a difference by enjoying the Serenity and Peace and of God and cutting back on frantic and needless buying Teaching our young ones that this is what the "Real Thanksgiving and Christmas" is all about "Try it" By having a simpler full of "Sentiment Love and Caring" Holiday season.
Go Back... back to a less self seeking time once lived by so many "Enjoying the Old" and restoring it back once again. More of Sweet Simplicity. "Making simple gifts" or inviting friends over for a "A cup of tea" or mabey a long put off Lunch date with a friend you haven't seen in a while. Why is everyone "Oh so busy"? where have our priority's gone?
Why not think of people and our special friends year around. Special gifts and love shouldn't be packed into one day just on Christmas day. Jesus Love should be every day of the year through little special things we do for and with our family and friends while we are still together. Today I regret things I didn"t say or do with those who are now no longer here to hug, love and spend quality time with.
The "Joys and Simlicity" of what "God has truly given" to us so liberaly to enjoy is still available to us today. So DO that SOMTHING while you still can make a difference to those who are important to you. "God and Family and Friends" The question is "Do You" realy want to change?
I Hope the "light" is going on inside of some of you this Thanksgiving and Christmas Season. After all His wonderfull light is what "the Reason for the Season " is Truly all about.
" God Bless You All" " Dearly Beloved of God"!
Have a Blessed thankgiving and A Wonderfull Christmas enjoing what God has given to us in Each other during this Holiday Season and especialy as we celebrate "Jesus" along with His Precious Love and Eternal forgivness He freely gives to everyone "Who will recieve Him" as their "Savior and King"!
Again Gods Riches blessings to All of you this Thanksgiving and A Merry Christmas To You All!

Be not afraid
Be not afraid for I am with you.
Be not afraid for I am your God!
I will love you. I will be with you.
I will uphold you in the right hand of my Righteousness!!
Be not afraid in whatever you are going through If you are in Christ He will protect you uphold and keep you in His right hand.
Isreal is such a small country but God has His Almighty hand of protection over it forever.
We too, are Gods beloved in Christ Jesus. And He will ever keep us in His care because of Jesus. He will hedge us round about with His almighty protection.
Be Ye watchfull all those who Fear and Love the Lord for who may know if we may be entertaining Angels on assignment or even the Lord Himself. For if you give unto the least of these of these you are giving unto "me" sayeth the Lord.
He is ever watching over us in all we say and what we do.
Are we giving ?
Are we compationate?
Are we doing all we can to encourage others in lesser positions in life.
Do we give thanksgiving to God for all He has done for us?
Are we careing for the hurting and lost?
Are we praying for others?
Do we show appreciation for the friends He has placed in our lifes
Do you put your "daily" time with the lord in prayer first before all else.
If you are doing all these things * Be not Afraid* God knows all you are saying and doing.. He is truly leading your footsteps.
He is watchfull over the ancient land of Isreal, the land He gave to His people He will also watch over us too who love and Pray for Isreal in her time of need!
As He did for lazerus once dead but a greatly loved and faithfull friend of God. He will do for you too! Raising you UP! and giving you New Life! once again.
So be watchfull over the things God holds of importance and He will take care of YOU! So Be Not Afraid for He "Will" be with YOU!

I will uphold you in the right hand of my Righteousness!!

I Rejoiced! with those who said unto me "Let us go to the house of the Lord"
Our feet are standing at your gates Oh Jeruselem.
Jerusalem built like a city that is closely compacted together.
That is where the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord, according to the statute given to Isreal.
There the thrones for judgement stand, the thrones of the house of David.
**Pray for the *Peace* of Jerusalem; May those that Love you be secure** ***( God will help and protect us as we pray for His land and His people)***
May there be *Peace* within your walls. And security within your citadels.
For the sake of my *Brothers and Friends*
I will say " Peace be within you"
For the sake of the *House of the Lord our God* I will seek your prosperity and Peace.

We as Chistians have been grafted in to recieve what Jesus did at the cross for us. What was meant for the Jews ( Gods People) is now our Heritage as well. Gods people and His land is now our's as well through our Born again Life through Christ! Haleluliah!! So we stand with you Isreal with all our hearts through Prayers of Peace and Blessings!! ** Even Now Come Quickly Lord Jesus!! **

Waiting,& Trusting in God
Habikkuk 2: 1-3
I will climb my watchtower now, and see what answer God will give to my complaint.
And the Lord said to me, "write my answer on a billboard, large and clear, so that anyone can read it at a glance and rush to tell others".
But these things I plan won't happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled If it seems slow, do not despair, for these things will surely come to pass.
Just Be Patient!! They Will Not Be Overdue a Single Day! Amen!
You who are praying and crying out to God for an answer don't be discouraged He is working out all the deails surrounding the circumstances and situation. And many times we are too going through a little testing along with it. Will you stay faithfull? even if it takes a little while. Or mabey a long time.
Trust in th Lord!!
verse 4 reads like this in the living bible.
Note this! Wicked men trust in themselves alone (as these chaldeans do) and fail; but the righteous man trusts in me, and lives!
A word from the Lord to you this day;
So if you, my beloved; saeth the Lord, are waiting for me to answer, continue and your faith will rise to a higher level upon reading this today. Realizing that I am your your God and I know what you are going through. I will return your prayers with healings in my wings and you shall see my love bring your victory! Yes you shall even sing my victory song! sayeth the King of king and the Lord of Lords!! Yes, Wait upon Me!
**I Love You sayeth Your God **
Beloved of God! be encouraged today and know God is with You in whatever you are facing! Stand firm! (holding on) to these words of scripture. It is comming (your answer) in His perfect timeing

Your Heavenly cloud of Help!
Hebrews 12:1
Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, 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.
Are you having a bad hair day? Or have you really truly reached the botom of the pit? There is an enormous amount of people I talk to that think their circumstances are simply horrible and don't know how to get through. Yes there are some situations that are truly terrible and I'm not trying to make light of your personal heartache Im not adddressing those here. But just reading the word of God seing what unfathomable circumstances His people have had to go through before us makes some of our circumstances seem so small in comparison.
I have come to know this cloud of witnesses very well they are all my valued family and dearest friends and saints of God that have gone before me into heaven. I have also learned to lean upon their strength countless times in my life. As we read chapter 11 of Hebrews we come to realize how much strength was accomplished while they believed in the promise which didn't come to pass till much later in the history of Israel. We are given these true accounts so as to take upon ourselves their strength and encouragements.
It is of vital knowlege that we accept the reality that only God has all our answers through His son Jesus Christ. And if you truly know and live your life within this perimiter of the heavenly realm you are walking on streets of gold right here on this earth already through what Christ has done for us at the cross of Calvary.
As we say the Lords prayer we are believing that His Kingdom is coming on this earth as it is in Heaven! I can tell you through my own personal experiences since I accepted and live for Jesus in my life. it can be reality for you.
When there's nowhere to turn Gods living word becomes near and dear to you heart for survival. Through any rough waters and stormy seas in life He becomes our lifesaver and anchor of our wave tossed soul.
This great cloud of witnesses in Hebrews chapter11 are all your intimate and personal encourager. A rooting team that are placed in the word of God to remind and help you as you read their story. Because of what they have come through You too will come to realize that you will make it through yur trial because of Faith in Christ.
So be enlightened and lay aside every weight of heaviness and sin that has beset you (keeping you from God)) and start running the race that the Lord has given to you to run for him. Whatever it may be the most important thing to remember is do all He has given you to do in the Love of Christ. We can't all be preachers but if your called of God to preach do it with all your heart. Then again if your life's work is to reach people through your workplace or home by inviting the lost into your living room for a helpful bible study and needed time of prayer " do this" with all your heart. Whatever it is don't waist time just do it!
Your Prize awaits you as you Run with patience the race that has been set before you. And know that you already a Winner because of what " Jesus did for you at the cross of Calvary" Recieve now your Faith in light of the Hebrews hall of "Ambassadors" who walked by faith believing what they could not see in their day. But walked in Faith in God for the Promise of the Christ "Messiah" yet to come.
Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, 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.

I have also learned to lean upon their strength countless times in my life. As we read chapter 11 of Hebrews we come to realize how much strength was accomplished while they believed in the promise which didn't come to pass till much later in the history of Israel. We are given these true accounts so as to take upon ourselves their strength and encouragements.
It is of vital knowlege that we accept the reality that only God has all our answers through His son Jesus Christ. And if you truly know and live your life within this perimiter of the heavenly realm you are walking on streets of gold right here on this earth already through what Christ has done for us at the cross of Calvary.
As we say the Lords prayer we are believing that His Kingdom is coming on this earth as it is in Heaven! I can tell you through my own personal experiences since I accepted and live for Jesus in my life. it can be reality for you.
When there's nowhere to turn Gods living word becomes near and dear to you heart for survival. Through any rough waters and stormy seas in life He becomes our lifesaver and anchor of our wave tossed soul.
This great cloud of witnesses in Hebrews chapter11 are all your intimate and personal encourager. A rooting team that are placed in the word of God to remind and help you as you read their story. Because of what they have come through You too will come to realize that you will make it through yur trial because of Faith in Christ.
So be enlightened and lay aside every weight of heaviness and sin that has beset you (keeping you from God)) and start running the race that the Lord has given to you to run for him. Whatever it may be the most important thing to remember is do all He has given you to do in the Love of Christ. We can't all be preachers but if your called of God to preach do it with all your heart. Then again if your life's work is to reach people through your workplace or home by inviting the lost into your living room for a helpful bible study and needed time of prayer " do this" with all your heart. Whatever it is don't waist time just do it!
Your Prize awaits you as you Run with patience the race that has been set before you. And know that you already a Winner because of what " Jesus did for you at the cross of Calvary" Recieve now your Faith in light of the Hebrews hall of "Ambassadors" who walked by faith believing what they could not see in their day. But walked in Faith in God for the Promise of the Christ "Messiah" yet to come.
