Every single day as we walk by faith and choose to live for Christ, we are guaranteeing fruitfulness, longevity and abundant life for today and for the future! Our race is won one day at a time, and our focus is not on impressing others, but expressing our heart-felt thoughts to one another and sharing intimate fellowship with the Father. We are not anxious or concerned about God fulfilling His promises to us—instead, we are keeping His promises on our lips and enjoying our journey, as we commit to prayer every step we take. We are not in a rush any longer—as we “walk with God”, our days get sweeter and our lives grow richer. GOT FAITH? God's plans don't change because of unexpected storms, prolonged delays or annoying distractions - these things reveal that His plans are real and that His grace can sustain us! As long as we trust that God will answer our prayers in His timing and do what is in our best interest (according to His will and purpose), all that He requ...

“I do NOT want you to casually use the term “friend”, when it comes to your relationship with Me. Many times, more than you could imagine – this spiritual concept is misconstrued with a casual response to My commands; a looseness with My gentle prodding or dealings; and a deteriorating intimacy that becomes a cloak of sterile complacency with those who have shared sacred moments with Me, and falsely believe that any of My directions or instructions can be “massaged” or “re-prioritized” based upon their feelings and whims that they attribute to My spirit speaking to them. Abraham’s “friendship” was not based upon him gaining rank or special privilege with Me – born out of his perfect performance or giftedness. Abraham was My servant, and his intimacy was based upon him taking me at My word! His obedience to My commands opened the heavens over his life, and his submission to Me during the times of testing and strict obedience concerning offering his son Isaac – was more than the norma...

Our western culture is so desensitized to the existence of evil or demonic powers, and finds little, if anything wrong with consulting an "innocent horoscope".  But, the essence of these subtle, but diabolical predictions is false, because the conscious or subconscious actions taken as a result of being informed by the occult messages produces a presupposition and predisposition to the dark world that is vying for your attention at every waking moment. Horoscopes are a form of divination—seeking knowledge of the future and other unknown matters via the occult. The Church should reject horoscopes, along with all other forms of divination. This includes "astrology, palm reading, interpretation of omens and lots, the phenomena of clairvoyance, and recourse to mediums." These attempts to "unveil" the future "all conceal a desire for power over time, history, and, in the last analysis, other human beings, as well as a wish to conciliate hidden powe...

There is an amazing hunger for God in the world today!   You might completely disagree with me , as you see the increase in religious adherents to new age philosophies and science of the mind practices.  But, these things are the evidence of a growing opportunity for true Christ followers to extend their hands to the desperate hearts all around us - wanting an experience of God's power, goodness and purpose in their lives! What's necessary right now is a true baptism in the fire of God's mercy and truth (making us RED HOT for Christ) , and a mass deliverance from religious ritual and tired traditions - so the power of God's spirit is able to invade the darkest, strangest (to us) and most unexpected people and places in the world ! In a recent article written by someone considered a part of the new age movement - I discovered a powerful article that shares "everything has a frequency."  'Well, wait a minute - Reverend!  That sounds new age to ...

I believe that ALMIGHTY GOD through the INEXHAUSTIBLE HEADSHIP of JESUS CHRIST, is releasing a "fresh new emergence" of HIS Ministry-Gifts in the New Testament Church today, as an extension and expanding work of Christ’s earthly ministry ( Reclamation of the Kingdom of Heaven ), including the function of the apostle.   The Greek word, apostolos refers to God’s special ambassadors or “sent ones”, who are commissioned to contend for pure doctrine , preserve unity among the saints , equip leaders , model Christian character , and help the church advance into new territory. As a "function" of  "the Gift" — Holy Spirit, believers or disciples of The Chief Apostle  Jesus Christ, whether functioning in what is traditionally referred to as the "Five-Fold Ministry" — ALL FUNCTIONARIES are "on a level playing field", without bureaucratic , hierarchical , or political distinctions ; which is most often SEEN in denominational settings, as an asid...

THE ANSWER... First of all, I'm NOT referencing a denominational preference or religious dogma, "Apostolic Christianity" is "a vision that wholly embraces the entirety of the gifts that God gave to the Body of Christ for the purpose of its maturation and effectiveness". (Apostle Carlos L. Malone, Sr., R.A.I.N.'S Sr Visionary) A.  It is Kingdom-centered - Jesus is building the church (of kingdom citizens) that will openly triumph over the all the powers of hell (Mt. 16:18). The New Testament presents salvation in context of the Universal Church’s identity as a spiritual family that walks out love, honors all its members (i.e., gender, age, ethnic, economic, etc.). B.   It results in wholeheartedness - as it embraces holiness and discipleship. In other words, the fasted lifestyle is described in the Sermon on the Mount (Mt. 5-7). It resists the “pleasure seeking Western Church culture” that results in “lazy friendly churches” that refuse self-de...

Some years ago, the Lord began to speak to be about the "Master's Pitch", and it has expanded in me since He originally spoke it - and now I know why! The noise of "competing voices" is one of the enemy's major strategies for grossly limiting and altering the ability of God's people to hear and know His voice above all others! The "Apostate Church" has already revealed itself through the many blatant compromises to the Word of God, and cultural norms and political pressure is causing entire denominations to cave in to society's humanistic influence, which is at enmity with the Kingdom of God; while grossly corrupting the nominal believer with heretical and seducing doctrines that feed the flesh and starve the spirit! "Mixture in the message" is not simply about the introduction of humanistic philosophies and sterile doctrines that only spiritual midgets gravitate towards. It's also about the declining literacy amongst Go...
