So Just Agree
Really, faith is easy to operate in, even though many will tell you this or that. Yes, we must believe it in our heart and we do that by staying or reading His Word until we know it is true and then, just agreeing with whatever God has said. God is the great I am. Am is in the present tense. He is always ready to do it now, so when we pray, all we have to do is believe that the promises of God are always yes and amen in Christ Jesus. Now amen means “So be it, or I agree!” “For no matter how many promises God has made, they are (always) yes in Christ. And so through Him (Christ) the amen (I agree) is spoken by us to the glory of God” (2 Corinthians 1:20 NIV). Carefully look at what God, through the Holy Spirit, has said here. No matter how many promises God has given. They say there are well over 60,000 promises in the Bible; but no matter how many there are, God always says YES. Then it tells us that Jesus has already paid the price for these and agree we can have them. But we also have to agree with what God has said. Therefore, when we read God’s Word and find a promise that speaks to our heart or that we want, God always says “yes!” His answer is always yes! Why? Because Jesus has already paid the price for us. Jesus has made that promise ours already. It belongs to us as a child of God. When we know this, we must agree with whatever the Word of God says regardless of what others say or even try to teach us. God Word is always the finale authority and it is always true. So we see that the promises are always yes regardless how many there are. That Jesus paid the full price for us to have them and He also says, yes. That if we will just agree with what God has said, it will be ours. Now isn’t that much easier than you thought? People try to make God’s Word hard, but He made it easy for us because He loves us so very much. He wants us to have every spiritual gift there is, so we can be victors just as Jesus was. He wants to bless our life and fill it with joy, peace and love. Remember, no matter how many promises there are, God always says yes to them. God never says no! We may have to wait on some promises because we are not mature enough for them yet, but they are always yes, if we will agree with His Word.
“Father, I ask You to help all my friends to see this great truth and begin to walk in the fullness of it. Help them to always agree with You and Your Word. Help them become all You have said they could be. Jesus, thank You for coming and paying the price for all these promises and becoming our Lord. I ask the Father in Your name for this and I thank You for doing it because I agree with You and Your Word. Thank You. Amen!”

A Child Of Destiny
You are a child of destiny. God is orchestrating and ordaining your steps and your life; “if” you are yielded to Him. “Even every one that is called by My Name; for I have created him for My glory, I have formed him, yea, I have made him” (Isaiah 43:7). When we look carefully at this verse, we see some powerful things concerning us and our future. Here God says He is the one who formed us, so He knows every part of our being. He is the Master builder. Not only that, He says He is our creator. He said, “I created him”! So as creator, He knows what we can and cannot do. We are His creation! This alone destines us for success and to operated right when yielded to His plans for our life. Now that is for "every one" that is called by His name. Are you called by His name? If you have received Jesus Christ as your Lord, the answer is "yes I am". This verse is speaking right to us! Every thing I’ve said so far, should fit us. God created us; God formed us; that is, those called by His name; which is us! Anyone reading this carefully should be able to see this and understand it. There should be no question about it. If there are, then repent of your sins and ask Jesus into your heart, and make Him Lord of your life; then you will understand this. But the verse does not stop there! It says we were created for His glory! He formed us to bring glory to Him and His name. We were therefore, destined to be successful. God is orchestrating and ordaining our steps and our life. How could we ever fail? If we allow Him, He will ordain our steps. We have to be totally yielded to Him, but when we are, He leads us in the direction of success. I bet you did not know you were destined for success and not failure! All we have to do is follow Him and do as He tells us to do. Now that should not be hard. If you moved to a new city, you would allow people to tell you or show you where everything was because they would know and you would not. The same is true with God. He knows everything. He created us and the life we are to live. He formed us so we could do all He wants us to do. He made sure it would all bring glory to Him and us. How can we go wrong? You can be all God says you can be. You are the head and not the tail. You are above and not below. The overcomer. The victor! Why? God destined you to win! God destined you to be great. God destined you to bring Glory to His kingdom. Wow! Isn’t that wonderful. Oh, how God loves us and wants the best for us.
“Father, I ask you to open the minds and hearts of my friends so they can see this beautiful life you created them for. How you have ordained the path on which they should walk. That there is no darkness on that path but only the Light of the Holy Spirit leading and guiding them. Thank You Father, for I ask this in the Name of Jesus and He said if I ask You anything in His name, You would do it. Thank You for that! Amen.

Fresh Oil
We need a fresh anointing more than we know. Do not assume that your faith is always in top-notch shape! Rather, play it safe and assume that your faith always needs a fresh anointing. The anointing is so very important to us. Without the anointing, we lack in power, authority, and His ability. Psalm 92:10 reminds us that “I shall be anointed with fresh oil.” What a wonderful promise from Almighty God. “I shall be anointed with fresh oil!” I love that! With fresh oil, our anointing is so powerful the devil flees from us and stops troubling us. We walk in the victory and be come the overcomer. I don’t know about you, but I want to be the overcomer. I want to be the head and not the tail and the only way I will do that is by having a fresh anointing or supply of oil. Remember, it was the lack of oil that caused 5 of the 10 virgins to miss heaven, They had let their oil or anointing go out. They did not trim their lamps, clean them, and keep fresh oil in them. Now 5 made it into heaven with Jesus. Why did they get to go and not the other 5? The 5 that got to go had oil in their lamps. That fresh oil caused them to be ready when Jesus came and they got to go. My pastor always says, “Faith opens the door to God’s promises for you; and patience keeps it open until that promise is fulfilled.” When we have a fresh supply of oil, we have all the patience in the world. It’s easy to wait upon the Lord. Because we wait, God is able to meet every need we have. Hebrews 10:45-36 tells us to “cast not away therefore your confidence which hath great recompense of reward. For ye have need of patience that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.” I call upon God every day for a new fresh anointing. To fill me with His oil that my light shines brightly for the lost, needy, helpless, and those who are searching so they can find God. Healing can take place. So it is always good to have that fresh oil in our vessels. Don’t ever let your oil (anointing) get low! Stay filled and even filled to overflowing. Then you are ready to do whatever the Master says do. Nothing is impossible when you have that fresh oil, that fresh anointing. You become a powerhouse for God. With your needle always on the full make, you can go a long ways for God without running out. What a joy it is to know you have a full tank of fresh oil in your heart. You can rev up your engines, squeal your tire and your off to do whatever work the Master calls you to do.
“Father, I ask you to give all my friends a fresh anointing with fresh oil. Holy Ghost oil! Holy Ghost anointing! Let the dark world see our lights. Let them find their way to you because we have fresh oil in our lamps. Thank You Father, for I ask these things in Jesus’ Name and I know I have them because you said I did. Thank you Father! Amen.

Don’t Be Afraid Of The Devil
James tells us (James 4:7) Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.” We need to be so full of the Holy Ghost that the devil knows who we are. God never intended for us to run away from the devil. God intended for us to run him off. The devil is a defeated foe, who does not even have the keys to his house anymore. Jesus stripped him of those keys, took away all his authority, power against any Christian, defeating him openly for all to see. Then He gave that power, that authority, and those keys to us, the Christians. Now, the devil does not want us to know this, so he roars real loud like a real lion, to cause us to fear him and deceive and trick us. Most religious leaders tell people to fear the devil. Be careful what you say about him. The devil has them fooled and because of that they live in torment most of the time with very little victory. It is sad because they do not know their Bible, or they do not believe it, one or the other. God’s Word is always true! He watches over His Word to fulfill it. His Word never goes out and returns empty, but does the things it was sent forth to do. Now that’s what the Bible, God’s Word says. It was also God’s Word that told us, that if we resist the devil, he will have to flee from us. The verse before this one tells us why! If we draw close to God, we will know who He is and what He has said. And He will draw closer to us. We will know that Jesus came to die and pay the full price for all our sins and make us joint heirs with Him. We belong to God’s family. We are God’s family! Jesus gave us the power and authority over everything that He has power and authority over. When the devil knows we know that, he quickly flees from us. He does not want to get whipped again. Once was enough. So he flees! Now that is “Good News” to us. Knowing this stops all of the devil’s attacks against us. It brings us the promises God told us were ours. It makes us the victors not the defeated, depressed, sick people that the devil causes those who do not know who they are become. Our whole life is filled with joy, peace, happiness and blessings. We can sleep at night and not be afraid of anything because we know we can run the devil off anytime he comes knocking on our door or sneaking around outside somewhere. We can run the devil off! Praise God for that!
“Father, I ask in Jesus’ name right now, that You make this real to all my friends. Show them who they are in You. Show them the devil has no power or authority over them. Cause them to rise up in the power and authority You have given to them and run the devil off every time he tries to sneak up on them or comes around. Help them run him off and take their rightful place as the heirs of the Throne of God. Thank You Father, for I ask in Jesus’ name. Amen!

Waiting Before The Lord
Smith Wigglesworth once said, “Great victories come out of great battles. How true this is, We read in Colossians 2:15, :And having spoiled principalities and powers, He made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.” Jesus won the battle for us, and triumphed victoriously over the devil and all his demon army. He won our battles for us and because of His victory we have already won the battle. The wait sometimes seems long, but if we know we have already won, then we do other things until the manifestation comes. Those who just wait around worry about it, or doing nothing, to them it is a long wait at times. Any time we are sitting around doing nothing, it always seems like a long drown out time. But, if we get going and do something while we stand (wait) on the promise of God, the manifestation is here before we know it. In the Good News Bible we read in Proverbs 3:5, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Never rely on what you think you know.” I just love that verse! It takes pure trust in the Lord to wait patiently without worry or concern. If we are trusting in the Lord with all our heart, we do not care what anyone or circumstances might have to say, because we know what God has already said. That settles it! If God said it, I believe it and that settles it as far as I am concerned. Waiting is no problem at all, because I know I already have it. It's not like Christmas or your birthday when you know some might give you what you asked for. When God says it, then it is so and you have it. So you have it before it even arrives in the natural realm, and the waiting is nothing as you know you have it. Waiting is where the battle is won in the spiritual realm. Waiting and keeping our eyes on God always brings the answers. Psalm 92:1 says, “I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress; my God; in Him will I trust.” A refuge and fortress is a place of rest and safety. We fight from a place of victory and we are at rest because God has already won the battle for us. Waiting is where we get refreshed, gain our strength, and get nourishment for our battles ahead. So, we win them before they even start. A refuge is a stronghold of the Lord. The devil cannot defeat the Lord! Because of what Jesus did and gave to us, he cannot beat us either. The Lord fights our battles for us. Isn’t that wonderful to know?
Father, I ask You in Jesus’ name to help all my friends to learn to wait upon You knowing they have already won. Strengthen them, enlighten them, empower them, that they always win the battles because they know You have already won it for them. Thank You Father for answering my prayer, for I have asked according to Your Word and I have come in the name of Jesus. Thank You! Amen.

Keeping Our Eyes On Jesus
We know that faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word (Rhema) of God. But faith also comes by keeping our eyes on Jesus, or looking to the author and finisher of our faith. Faith comes by continually considering Jesus. Doubt comes by considering the circumstances and the environment. Hebrews 12:2 tells us, “….let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith (NAS).
It starts right out telling us to run with endurance the race set before us. We all have things that God has given to us to do; plus we have what the Bible tells us to do. So it is telling us to run with endurance. The word endurance means: “uninterrupted existence.” In other words, we should not allow anything to interrupt us or slow down, or side track, or stop us. Nothing should come before the race God has given to everyone of us. We cannot win the race if other things come before it. Next, it tells us we can do this “if” we are “fixing our eyes on Jesus.” By keeping our eyes on Jesus, it reminds us of all He has done for us and that we are overcomers because of that. We have the victory and nothing the devil does can stop or slow us down. But, we have to keep our eyes fixed on Him. The word fixing means: to position in a specified place. To establish so solidly or strongly as to make dislodgment or change extremely difficult. To cause one thing to hold another never letting go. Wow! As we can see, this is holding fast to Jesus and His Word. It also shows when we do this, the devil and all his angels cannot shake us loose. Also, what we are holding or being fixed to, is Jesus; plus he is also holding us. Wow! Who could hold us any better than Jesus. But the verse goes on saying “the author and perfecter of faith or our faith.” Jesus is the author of our faith. He is not only the author of the Book, He is the Book! He is perfecting us, or making us perfect. That is why the Bible says, “from glory to glory He is changing me” or “from one degree of glory to another degree He is changing me.” Now that is wonderful news. We use to say; “Be patient with me, God is not finished with me yet.” In other words, we are being changed everyday of our life as we walk with Jesus and stay in His Word. Are we perfect right now? Not in the world’s eyes, but yes in God’s eye. Plus, He is changing us so we line up with what His Word says, “if” we are allowing Him to do so. As we line up with His Word, the world sees us as Jesus more and more. Isn’t that wonderful? Daily we are becoming more and more like Jesus, the author and “perfecter of our Faith.”
Father, I ask you in Jesus name to fulfill Your Word to my friends. To help them to always keep their eyes on Jesus the author of their faith. To perfect them according to Thy Word. I thank you! I know Your Word will do that because it says it will. I ask this in Jesus’ name.
Until next week remember that I am here to help you and pray for you. I love you and I want to help you if you will just come and ask. You can come to the chat site and talk to me. It’s right here on this web site under “chat”. Or you can write to me, using the address on this page. I will answer you be email.

Biblical Hope
One of the best verses in the Bible that defines hope for me is Romans 8:28; “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.” What a powerful declaration Paul makes in this verse! God is working all things together for good. That is the perfect definition of New Testament hope. Our, how about what we call the Bible? The Good News! Hope!!
There are two qualifications to God working all things for good in this verse. (1) You must love God, (2) you must be called according to His purpose. If these two requirements are fulfilled in your life, you can be sure that God is very busy causing everything to work together for good for you. Ask yourself, “Do I really love God? Am I doing what God called me to do?” God has a purpose for every person. Everything that comes to pass in your life is for the fulfillment of that purpose. If you are not walking in the purpose for which God has called you, then stop, repent, turn around, and get on the right track. If you do that, you are guaranteed that God is busy working all things together for your good. He takes the bad and turn it in to good every time. God is working on your behalf! This verse of Scripture dose not allows pessimism at all. This Scripture gives you a foundation for total, never-failing optimism. You cannot read and believe Romans 8:28 and be pessimistic or downcast. Hope is full of optimism, joy, and confident expectation. Remember, hope is a confident expectation of the goodness of God. We are totally sure that God will do what He said He would do! There are some wonderful verses in Scripture that reinforce this concept. One of them is found in Psalm 23:6. David says, “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” I love that verse!! Goodness and mercy are following my life. Goodness and mercy are following your life, not just when we get to heaven, but every single day of our lives. Not only, it says “we shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” What more could one ask for! When I preach on this Psalm I like to tell everyone, there are two angels that follow me everywhere I go. One is called Goodness, the other is called Mercy. Because I know they attend my footsteps, I dare to believe I can do what God has called me to do. They are protecting me! They are watching over me! I have a confident expectation of the goodness and mercy of God. And no matter what comes my way, He will turn it around for my good! Yes, bad things happen now and then, but God’s mercy will bring you through as a victor. In Matthew 7:11 Jesus says, “If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!” When you buy Christmas presents for your loved ones, partially your children, grandchildren or even your great grand children, do you go out of your way to find something bad, something they would not like? No, you carefully look around for things that you know they want. Then you carefully wrap it if you can, and put it under a Christmas tree. At least I hope you do! God's love for you provides far more hope for you!
Father, In Jesus' name, I ask You to open my friends eyes to the Biblical hope you have given to us. How daily You are loading us down with blessings. How You turn the bad the devil means for us around and true it into good. Show then what Your Word says. Holy Spirit, make this real to them for we are in a hour when we need Biblical hope like never before. Thank you for this, for I ask it in Jesus' name.
Remember that I am here to help you. If you need anything, please come and chat with me on our chat site. Or, write me on the address on this page. I will be here for you and together we will get the answers God has for you. Together we will get the victory. So until next week, remember that I love you.

Honoring Our Fathers
I was fortunate to grow up in the home of Dennis Forehand and under the ministry Of Brother Don Evans. Dennis was my natural father and a spiritual father to others as was Brother Don. They were spiritual mentors not only to me, but to 1000’s of other people as well. Their example of faith still lives in me today. I can remember the victories we obtained through their faith in God. Their faith endures many tests but always came out on top, winning the battles and having total victory. My father was also a fine example of a godly father. Abraham of the Old Testament is another great example of a godly father. In Romans 4:16 Abraham is called “the father of all believers.” Throughout history, he has been called “Father Abraham.” We use to sing that song! The way Abraham endured to receive the promise of God has helped many believers to stand firm on God’s Word as they go through difficult times. Abraham’s life is also an example to all of us. My husband strives to be a Abraham and a Jesus to others. He shows us how to leave a godly heritance for our children and for their children as well. I want to give you an acrostic of the word “father” that reveals some of the many lessons Abraham gave us.
F stands for faith. Abraham was a man of faith.
A stands for available. Abraham was available to God and his family.
T stands for tested. Abraham taught his son how to pass the tests of life.
H stands for help. Abraham helped his son find a godly wife. (Gen,24)
E stands for encouragement. Abraham encourages his son to believe God
R stands for responsibility. Abraham was responsible to take care of his family.
Abraham raised his children in the reverence of God. All fathers have the responsibility to lead their families in the things of God. Their children need to see them praying, studying and talking to God. Our fathers are responsible to show us how to be responsible with our money, work, and fellow man. But above all, they need to teach us how to be responsible and true to our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ; and our heavenly Father, God.
“Father, it is my prayer this week, that You open their eyes to Your Father-ship over us and all You do for us. Jesus, please help us see the Father in all You do and cause us to be all He wants us to be. Help us to be a light to others, so they can see our father God and You Jesus. This is my desire for all my friends. Help their fathers to be a true father and show them the way even as my father and my spiritual father did for me. Thank You. I ask all this in Jesus’ name. Amen!
Well, until next week, remember that I love you and I am here to help you. If you need help or have a problem or need a miracle or healing, please just come and chat with me. I am here for you. We have our own chat site right on this web site. I am usually there. Or you can write me with the address on this page. I will write back! Remember, I am here for you and I love you.

Making Biblical Choices
Choices are things we make every day. There is not a day that goes by that we do not make some type of a choice. Every day you make a choice; either you exercise faith and feast in the abundance of God’s supply, or you give in to the devil and fear, and suffer personal famine. What will your choice be? Joshua made a great choice when he said, “Choose you this day whom you shall serve. As for me and my house, we will serve God. (Joshua 24:15-16). When we make our thoughts line up with the Word of God, and we cast down all thoughts that are not from God, we are making choices that will bring abundance into our lives. Negative thoughts are like birds, you can’t keep them from flying around your head, but you can keep them from building a nest in your hair. None of us would allow a bird to build a nest in our hair; yet at times we do not cast down those thoughts that are not of God; and we allow them to make our choices. How dumb that is! We all know what God has told us in 2 Corinthians 10:5, to “cast down imagination and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.” In other words, we cast down or do not make any choices to do what is not of God or in God’s Word. We do not believe anything that does not line up with God’s Word. We make a choice to stand with, believe in, and do what God has said. We are then making choices that bring us the victory, abundance that God has already said in His Word we have or are. These are correct choices! Choices that cause us to be the winners in every area of our lives. When we do this, we are standing in Faith. We choose to believe and act on what God has said because we know in our heart it is true. Faith is the active force which draws the thin line between success and failure. First John 5:4 tells us that! “For whatever is born of God (that’s us) is victorious over the world; and this is the victory that conquers the world, even our faith.” Faith is believing God’s Word! When we believe God’s Word, then we choose to obey God’s Word and do what it says. That’s making the right choice. It’s the right choice because it is God’s Word and not man. When we stand on God’s Word we over come the world. Nothing can stand in our way as long as our choices are God’s choices. So don’t make bad choices, choose God’s choices to be your choices and always walk in victory. “Father, I ask you in Jesus name to help my friends to always make the right choices. To cast down every thought that does not come from You. To make Your choice there choices and walk in victory. Help them Holy Spirit! Bring to their remembrance what God’s Word says and let their choices line up with God’s Word every time. Thank you for that, for I have asked in Jesus name. Amen!

Pay Day Always Comes !
As a Christian serving God, we need to realize that payday doesn’t always come every Friday night, but if we are faithful and true to God and His Word, payday always comes. As we grow in His Word, we read that daily he loadeth us down with blessings. But at first it may not seem that way. In Psalm 31:23 we receive one of the keys to payday or receiving from God. “O love the Lord, all ye His saints, for the Lord preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud does.” In other words, when we take pride in our work and try to do the very best for God, He not only preservers us, He gives to us very plentifully, or abundantly we could say. People who are concerned about their payday, usually are not trusting God with all their heart and need something to prove His Word is true. When we trust the Lord with all our heart, we know we already have all the promises He has promised us and go on as if we have them and they always manifest themselves when we have a need for them. God has give us His Word and that should be enough for us to believe what He has said. I have never seen God late on giving anything I’ve had need of. He said “I will supply all your needs according to My riches in heaven.” Earth does not dictate to God, but God dictates to the earth. God is not short of anything and He has made sure we have whatever we need. So when we have a need, He supplies. It might be Monday and not Friday. God knows when we have a need and His Word says He answers before we even ask. On a job we have to wait until payday, whenever that is, and usually we cannot get any pay before payday. But God does not work that way with us. He gives us what we have need of before we really need it. He made us heirs and join-heirs to His kingdom. He has already given everything to us, but at the same time, He does not dispense it until we need it. Otherwise we would get ourselves into trouble and spend it on things we have no real need of. We see ministers and people doing that all the time. These people usually are not walking with God. They don’t need God because they have all they need. That is a trick of the devil to put you in a box and lock the door. We need God at all times even when all our needs are met. He is our God, our creator, healer, friend, counselor, guide. We need to seek His wisdom, knowledge and guidance everyday. So when we understand that payday always comes, we can get about the Father’s business because payday will come.
“Father, I ask you to teach all my friends this wonderful truth. I want them to be about the Master’s business know payday always comes and it’s never late. That it depends on You and not the world. Thank You for that. I know You will do all that I ask because I am asking in Jesus’ name. Thank You! Amen.”
Until next week, remember I am here for you and if you want to talk or have a need, please come and chat with me on our chat site right here on this web page, or write to me on the address on this web page and together we will get all your answers from God.

Speaking God's Word To God
Some people do not realize that for our prayers to be filled with God’s power, we must speak His Word back to Him. He told us, “Put Me in remembrance of My Word.” I once heard our pastor preach about the only words that go to heaven and return with God’s answers, and I’ve never forgot it. God said, “My Word will not return void but will accomplish what it is sent to do.” We can send our own words to heaven, but they will not do for us, what God’s Word will do. God told us in James 5:16 “the prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective” (NIV version). If the man is righteous, then he is a born again Christian, or he cannot be righteous. When we ask Jesus into our heart and allow Him to be the Lord of our life, we are declared righteous by God. Without that, we are not righteous! So from this verse, we know the person praying is a born again New Creation. There is no doubt in my mind. So, this New Creation person is talking to God. Now, prayer is talking to God. That is what prayer is! Being we know that God has already given us everything we have need of in this life, we do not ask for those things, we thank Him for them. This is entering His courts with Praise and thanksgiving. So this righteous man or woman has come offering praise and worship to Almighty God and are thanking Him for all He has already done for them. But, out here in the world there are circumstances, troubles and other people who need God’s help, or for Him to change things for them. Being we are a righteous person, someone saved and knows the Word; we take God’s Word to Him and remind Him what he promised to do for those in need or circumstances, trouble or problems. We know from His Word, that His Word spoken from our mouth will not go out and return void. So we speak His Word to Him. We also know that “God watches over His Word to perform it.” Being we are bringing His Word, which never returns void, and the Word He watches over to perform, we can also know we will receive those answers and the needs, the circumstances, the troubles, problems, sicknesses or whatever, will be taken care of by Almighty God Himself. Now our prayers have become powerful and effective. Because they are powerful and effective, needs are met here, somewhere else, or even overseas. All because God heard His Word spoken to Him concerning the needs, circumstance, trouble or problems or whatever. We’ve become a "righteous man", whose prayers are powerful and effective. We have become that righteous man or woman He talks to us about in His Word. That’s how simple it really is. That’s my prayers for you!
“Father, in Jesus name, I ask You to meet every need of my friends. Help them overcome their circumstances, their troubles, their problems or whatever their needs might be. Bless them like You have blessed me! Give them wisdom and knowledge just like You have given it to me. Teach them Your Word and let it be Your Word that comes out of their mouth, as that Word will never return void. Thank You Father, for I asks this all in the name of Jesus my Lord.”

You can also email me at the email address on this web site. I will answer you back. I want to be here for you.

The Power To Change Our Life
In Psalm 119:130 we read; “The entrance if Thy Word giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.” If we put it into our words, we could say; “The income of God’s Word is the outcome of a changed life.” When we read God’s Word out loud to our self, the Word of God has the power to change our lives as well as things around us and our circumstances. God’s Word is powerful, sharper than any sword dividing soul and marrow the Bible says. It is food to our Inner man or the real us. This food makes us mature so we can discern good from bad. That is why it says the income of God’s Word into our Inner man, brings a change to our life. Both rhema and logos are Greek words that are translated “the Word of God,” but logos has a greater context, but not a great meaning. Logos refers to the whole inspired, eternal Word of God that is forever settled in Heaven. The word rhema means “a word that is spoken.” It is the word used when God takes a part of the whole Bible and speaks it to you personally under the anointing of the Holy Spirit. It is the word rhema that appears in Romans 10:17; “Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word (rhema) of God. Jesus used rhema when he said, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word (rhema) that proceeds from the mouth of God” (Matt. 4:4). Have you ever been reading the Bible when all of a sudden, even though you had read a verse a few hundred times, on this particular day the verse leaped off the page and burned in your heart? It came alive like never before! You saw it in a way that you had never seen it before. It touched you. It ministered to you. It changed you! The Holy Spirit spoke a rhema word to your spirit. When we read God’s Word out loud so we can hear it, it’s like a rhema word from God to our Inner man. Not only does it build faith, but it changes your life, causing it to line up with the Word of God. We become more like Jesus. Jesus is the Word manifested in flesh, so we are told. So the more of Jesus we get into us, the more we become like Him. When that happens, we begin to walk like Him, talk like Him and act like Him. We become a light to this world. People can see Jesus through us! Miracles, healing, signs and wonders take place as we speak God’s Word (rhema) just like they did when Jesus spoke them. Oh what a wonderful life we can and will live when we fill our Inner man with God’s rhema Word. Let God’s Word speak to you and it will change your life.
Father, I ask You in Jesus’ name, to help my friends to see this and starting reading Your Word out loud to themselves, so it can change them into the likeness and image of Jesus, Your Living Word. I thank You for that Father! I love You and am so glad I can ask and You heard and I have those things I ask for; for I have asked them in Jesus’ name.
Well, until next week remember I am here for you. If you need me or just want to talk, please come to our chat site on this web page and I will help you. Or you can write me at the address on this web site and I will answer you back. I love you and I am here for you. Have a great week in the Lord!

Seeing With God’s Eyes
In 2 Corinthians 5:7 in the Barclay translation it reads "It is by faith that we have to live, not by what we can actually see." Now that is a very powerful way to put it. In other words, God’s Word is what really counts, not what we may see with out physical eyes. Or we could say, we need to see it through God’s eyes because that is the truth and what we see is subject to change, whereas, God never changes. We all understand that we have to live by faith, but sometimes we do not understand that what we see can be subject to change if it does not line up with what God says. And if what we see does not line up with what God has said, then we can use our faith and change it, or make it line up with what God has said. No wonder God told us to cast down every thought and imagination and make them line up with the Word of God, or what God has said. If we would learn to see through God’s eyes, and speak accordingly, our whole world would change to line up with what God has said. Our world now! I am not talking about some else’s. Have you ever read the comic strip Sad Sack? He always traveled around with a storm cloud over his head. Everything seemed to go bad for him. Yet, others in the same comic strip did not have the bad luck that he did. That is kind of like us only in reverse. When we see through God’s eyes and speak God’s Word accordingly, we walk in the victory God has for us. Others may have troubles but we change any that might come our way so they line up with God’s Word. We go through life looking and seeing like God does. We have His Word (Book) to guide us in seeing like God sees. We have His Word (Book) so can speak like God concerning things. When the devil tries to send a storm our way, we start seeing like God does and it does not effect us. It can effect others, but not us because we see it like God sees it. We speak like God speaks. Our way of life becomes like God’s way of life. We change things that do not line up with God’s Word by speaking what God has said it should be. This is called "walking in faith" or "living our life by faith." Faith without action is dead. We do not want dead faith, so we put actions to our faith. We do that by seeing like God sees. If things are not that way, we change them by speaking, seeing and believing what God has said and soon for us, we are living just like God said. So it is very important that we see like God sees. We do that by reading His Book, the Bible and getting His Word into our heart so that out of the treasures of our heart our mouth will speak and we will then live just like God said we could live.
"Father, I ask you to help all my friends to see like you see. To make their faith live through your eyes. To make their mouths speak Your Word, so that their life lines up with Your Word. Thank You Father for I ask this in the name of Jesus; and I know we have those things because Your Word says we do. I chose to see through Your eyes so my faith is based on what You have said is true. Thank You Father. Now help my friends to do the same for I ask it in Jesus name."

Dare To Be A Champion
“For whatever is born of God is victorious over the world; and this is the victory that conquers the world; even our faith” (1 John 5:4 AMP). You can be a champion for God. With the faith God has given to us, we can draw the line between success and failure. We can set our sails toward victory no matter what the circumstances are and win. Champions are those who step forward while everyone else is praying and seeking God for volunteers. They are people just like you and me. They trust God with all their hearts while others ask for answers. Faith without actions is dead the Bible says. No action, no faith! Those who become champions see beyond the dangers, the risks, the obstacles, and the hardships and see only God’s Word. If God said it, that’s all they need because they know God’s Word is truth and it will do all it says it will do and much, much more. Champions know that the battle is the Lord’s and He has already won it for us, and that we are more than conquerors through Christ Jesus. When our heart knows who we are in Jesus, then our head knows we’ve already won, so lets get the job done. Any football team who does not know they are winners, lose no matter how good they. The devil tries to put the thought in our mind that we are losers. If we will believe that thought, we become losers! But the Bible tells us to cast down those thoughts and bring them into line with the Word of God which says we’ve already won. The devil cannot win anything unless he can get us to believe him instead of God. The devil is the one who lies. God always tells the truth! When we know this deep in our heart we become unmovable, steadfast, victory bound Champions for Jesus. When our heart is filled with faith we do not make excuses or wait around for someone else to do it. We run to the chance to fight the fight for our Lord because we know we have already won. We know we are fighting a foe who is already defeated and cannot win. We look forward to the battle! This is when we become a champion just like the ones we read about in the Bible. They were just like us and they dared to believe God and stand on His Word and when they did, they became a champion. Dare to be a champion! If you are willing and obedient, you will be a champion for God! You will be a winner and not a loser! It’s just a simple choice; to win or lose. I chose to win; how about you?
Father, in Jesus’ name I pray that my friends will know in their hearts that they are champions just like the ones we read about in Your Word. I ask You to open their understanding and make it real to their hearts so they can rise up and be a champion for you. I thank you for it Father, for I know You hear me and You always answer me; therefore I know in my heart that they shall become champions for You. Thank You Father!

FAITH OUR WAY OF LIFE
I know it seems like I talk a lot about faith, but faith is our way of life as Christians. Faith is not a sword just to grab things as some teach. Faith is our way of life! Romans 1:17 sure gives us a clear picture of faith as our living goes. “For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, The just shall live by faith.” Everyday we make choices; either we exercise our faith and walk in total victory and win, and have the abundance of God’s supply; or you give in to the devil and fear, and suffer personal famine. Joshua told us “choose you this day whom ye shall serve.” It takes the faith God gave to us, in order for us to serve Him as He said we could. God gave each of us a measure of faith to profit with. If we do not use it, we lose! It doesn’t do us any good to have faith in our hearts and not use it. Faith has to be applied in order for it to work. Someone has to believe what God said, and then do it. That’s why James tells us “that faith without actions is dead.” Then Paul tells us that every one who came out of Egypt saw the same thing, heard the same thing and yet it did not profit some. Why? They did not mix it with faith. Or we could say, “They did not use what God gave to them and because of it were defeated.” Now not only has God given to every man a measure of faith to profit with; we can increase our faith by reading the Word of God. I personally read it out loud to myself because the Bible says, “Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God.” So as I read God’s Word out loud to myself, more faith to believe comes. We find promises we did not even know where there, even though you may have read it many times before. All at once, the Spirit of God lights our candle and we see these new truths on which we can stand and receive all God has promised us. Make the Bible your main reading book and you will find yourself walk more in faith than someone who has many reading books no matter how good they are. Even if the have scriptures in them, you cannot beat the Bible for building faith. Build your faith by reading God’s Word more and doing all He tells you do! Don’t be like the children of Israel who did not mix their faith with the Word.
“Father, right now I pray for all my friends, that You, Almighty God will increase their faith as they read Your Word just as You promised You would. Thank you! Father I have asked this in the name’ of Jesus and therefore I know that I have what I have asked of Thee. Thank You Father!”

Two Kinds of Faith
When I was in Bible College, my pastor who was our Bible teacher, taught us on the “Two Kinds of Faith.” That teaching has been a solid foundation for my faith. You do understand there are two kinds of faith; don’t you? If not, there is! One is called Sense knowledge faith and that demands physical evidence to satisfy the senses. Sad to say, most Christians operate in this type of faith. When they see it, feel it, taste it, hear it or smell it, then they know they have it or that it is here. Without our senses, we would not know we had it! Then there is true Bible faith; the kind of faith that depends upon the Word of God alone. It does not need anything else to believe they already have it, because God has said so. Jesus told Thomas “blessed are they have not seen, and yet have believed” (John 20:29). Do you remember that story? Jesus had risen from the dead and appeared to His disciples and Thomas was not there at that time. They were so excited with this wonderful news and told Thomas about it. Thomas was a disciple also; but he said, "unless I see it with my own eyes and put my hand in the nail prints and into His side, I will not believe it." Now Jesus had told them this was going to happen. Not only that, but the Word of God also told them. But Thomas could not believe this unless he had physical evidence or sense knowledge evidence to prove it. He need more evidence in order to believe. How sad! Many Christians are like that today. They hardly ever get a prayer answered. They live a defeated life. There is little joy in their lives and they are always wondering why God doesn't do all He has promised to do. They will go through life and not see 1/10 of what those who have real faith will see and enjoy. Why? Because they are not operating in Biblical faith. True faith does not need to see, feel, taste, hear or smell anything to know God’s Word is true and that they have whatever God said they have. Because of that, they walk in the victories, joy, health, healing, blessings, and prosperity God has already given to them. His Word says He has blessed us with every spiritual blessing we will ever have need of in this life! He told us to believe that we have it when we ask for it, and we shall have it. Nowhere does He tells us to use physical or sense evidence to prove we have it. When we believe in faith like He has told us, we already have it and it has to manifest itself so others can see it, who needs the physical evidence. We spend our time thanking and praising God for the promises, while others are still looking for them. They need to change their faith from sense knowledge faith to Real faith. Once they do that, then they too shall walk in the victories already given to us by Almighty God Himself.
Father, I ask you to help my friends to walk in true faith and not sense knowledge or physical evidence faith. Help them that they can see what Your Word has said, and believe that and not need anything else to lean upon. Thank You Father for I have asked this in Jesus’ name and I know that I have it, because Your Word says so. That’s all I need!

You Can Change Your World
There is a sign on the wall that I really like that tells me that I do not have to stay just as I am; nor does the circumstance around me need to stay the same. I can do something about it; and believe it or not, it’s God’s Word. It says, “If you want to change your life, you have to change your confession. The miracle you need is in your mouth.” Then it says, “Proverbs 18:21, The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.” Oh how true that is! When I meditate on that, 2 Corinthians 4:18 quickly comes to my mind: “We, all the while, gazing not on what is seen, but on what is unseen; for what is seen is transient, but what is unseen is imperishable.” In other words, we can change things as long as we keep our eyes and mouth on God’s promises and not what’s going on in the world. Faith never rises above its confession! “From the fruit of His words, a man shall be satisfied with good!” Proverbs 12:14 AMP. You see, the Bible plainly tells us, that as we believe in our heart, so are we. Faith is not believing that God can, but that God will! We are seeing a good example of that in the elections this year. With 12 states left to vote or have their vote counted, some are telling one to step down and yet there is more that enough votes left out there for them to win. To man the odds seem overwhelming. But to a heart of faith, one sees the finish line and knows in their heart they can yet win regardless of what others say. In our life, the devil will always make it look like in the natural, that we cannot win. There is no hope! But if we can see with eyes of faith us winning, there is no way man can stop us. We can change the circumstances around us! We can turn what looks like defeat into victory. The Bible says God will turn things and give us the victory! Now I like that! The world is more negative now that it ever has been and many people are reaping the results of that. But there is a group who stands in faith and gets God’s Word into their hearts that their mouth speaks God’s Word, and for them there is nothing but victory. God told us that by confessing His Word, we can change things regardless how impossible they look, sound, or even feel. We can change it as far as we are concerned. We cannot change it for everyone; but we can change our world! Where we live and breath and spend our time. God is not dead, He is alive and well and He will do all He has said He would do!
“Father, I ask you right now to help my friends change their thoughts and things that they speak so it lines up with Your Word. For we know that it will change and it will become all they desire for it to be, because You will move in Your power to bring it to pass. I thank You Father, for I ask these things in Jesus name and I know we have them.”

STUBBORN!
How many times have we heard someone being called stubborn? Maybe we’ve even been called that before. The word stubborn means: “unwilling to submit.” It good not to submit to the devil or his activities of any kind; but the Bible says we must always submit to God and His ways. We cannot afford to be stubborn! When we are stubborn, we shut our mind on things and continue to go our own way regardless of the warnings from God. The Bible is very clear that two cannot walk together unless they agree (Amos 3:3). It’s very hard to walk with a man who gets his mind made up to do things his own way. It’s even hard for God to do! Did you ever have a party and things all planned out for the party just as you wanted them to go, because it was your party; and have someone come who wanted everything their way and not yours. Oh my, the problems it causes. Nothing will go right because someone is trying to do what they want instead of what you want. If it was on a job, the boss would fire that person! Yet, we see people trying to do things just like they want, regardless of what God wants or His word says. We forget there is only One God and we are His children. He has the plan for life, the world and the world to come. He knows what is right, best, and will only bring blessings and victory into our lives, Yet, people, even some Christians will do as they please and not do it God’s way. God even gave us a Book of rules we could say. He laid it our very plain and shows us how to have victory and be winners all the time, and yet, some will still try to do it their way. This is so sad as it only brings hurt, sickness, troubles, and defeat. Who wants those things in their lives? If we would always do it God’s way, even if we never had our way, we would have the best life anyone could ever have. Jesus always did it the Father’s way. Just once He asked the Father if there was another way, but added, “never-the-less, not My will but Yours be done.” Now that is powerful! We see how victorious His life was! We see His victory, His miracles, His healings, His wisdom, and knowledge. There never was anyone like nor has there been since. So if we want to have this type of life, then we must always do it God’s way. To be stubborn gets us nothing but pain, sadness, sorrow and defeat. I do not want to be stubborn toward God. I will be stubborn toward the devil and his ways, but not God. I will be a follower totally submitted to God. How about you?
“Father, please help all my friends not to be stubborn unless it is toward the devil. Help them to be totally submitted to You. True followers of You just like Jesus did. Make them everything You want them to be. Thank You Father, for I ask in Jesus’ name.
Until next week remember that I love you and that I am praying for you. If you need help for anything, please come to our chat on this web page and talk to me, or write me and I will answer you. Together we will ask God and you will have your answers. Remember to read your Bible and to pray!

Out Of Defeat and Into Victory
The Bible tells us, as a man or woman, as they think in their heart, so are they. Now this very important to us because it is telling us that thinking faith thoughts and speaking faith words will lead us out of defeat and into victory. You are probably wondering how I arrived at that. Well, if what we think is what we become, then the Bible also tells us that out of the heart, the mouth speaketh. Or we could say, what is in our heart is what we speak. Now when the Bible speaks about our heart, it is speaking about our Spirit, the real us. In 1 John 5:4 the Bible tells us “this is the victory that has overcome the world, our faith.” Everyone of us has a measure of faith, given to us by God, to win with or overcome with. Or we could even say succeed with. We can be a success in this world because of the faith God has given to us! Some times we never hear that from the world or the people of the world, but God has made us to be successful, overcomers. We have His wisdom, His knowledge, His power, and His ability, what more could we ever ask for! God created us to be winners from the start. Once we know this and settle it in our heart, not our mind, we are on the road to victory. We think faith filled thoughts and they fill our heart and soon we are speaking them out of our mouths and they come into our life and we walk in the victory, success and become overcomers. Faith is on our side! Now fear is the reverse gear of faith. Fear releases the ability of Satan against us. So God tells us in the Bible that He did not give us a spirit of fear. Fear is not of Him. Its from the devil, Satan himself. But we can cast down fear! The best way to cast down fear is to fill our heart or spirit man with faith. Now since faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God, we begin to medicate on God’s Word. As we meditate on God’s Word, we are filling our heart or spirit man with God’s Word so that when we open our mouth, faith filled words come out. God’s Word! This brings us right back to what I said to start. Thinking faith thoughts and speaking faith filled words will lead us out of defeat and into victory. Every one of us wants to walk in victory! Every one of us wants to be a overcomer. Well, that is how we reach that goal. The more we medicate or think on God’s Word, which is thinking on Faith, the more we will be speaking faith words and the more we will defeat the enemy and the more we will walk in victory.
Father, in Jesus’ name I ask You to help my friends become faith giants. As they read Your Word, cause their hearts to be filled with Your Word so they speak faith filled words and walk in the victory You have already given to them. Help them to be the overcomers! Thank You Father, for I have asked this in Jesus’ name.
Until next week remember I love you and that I am here for you. If you need anything or just want to talk, come to our chat site on this web site and chat with me. Or, you can write me and I will answer you. Together we will receive the answers you want. Until next week, be blessed and walk in the blessing of God.

TANK
FORCE
Have you ever seen that old move called "Tank"? It's a wonderful story about a father, his son and a girl. They are escaping the enemy in a old tank and they cannot stop them. It reminds me of our faith and what I read once. Here is what I read: "When the power of God and faith are operating in your life, you are like a tank; you have the ability to move your position forward without taking any losses!" Now I like that! This is so true. A real good Bible teacher once said, that the natural and the supernatural coming together make an explosive force for God. That's the tank! Can you imagine trying to stop a tank that did not want to be stopped? When we operate in the faith God has given to us, and put all our trust and faith in His Word, we become like a tank. A powerful tank that does n
