"DON'T BE AFRAID TO FLY ALONE!" "Fan clubs" and concentric "social circles" amongst people, has NEVER been "my thing", so it didn't take much for me to ACCEPT my "divine assignment" and "peculiar calling" from just over twenty-eight years ago, when The Lord told me to "consult business and church leaders from a faith-based perspective", which was NOT on my radar screen at the time; nor was it a desire of mine "at all"! One of the first leaders that reached out to me, was the pastor of a very large church in Louisville, Kentucky, and he had received my name from a friend of mine named Rev. Arturo Kelly.  I attempted to CONVINCE this "referral" (pastor) that I was NOT interested or qualified to help him (Bless my heart!), and before he could tell me "who" had referred my name to him, I did almost everything in my power "to reject the assignment" that G...

KINGDOM COMMUNITY: TRANSACTIONAL vs RELATIONAL CULTURE Transactional behavior and culture — earth bound creatures do NOT see the importance of "doing unto others as you would have them do unto you"; and they surely aren't willing "to pay it forward as a common every-day practice" without HAVING or TAKING ADVANTAGE in that relationship, first!! Relational behavior and culture — heaven bound citizens destined for an eternity with a universal community of believers committed to releasing LIGHT, LOVE and TRUTH on every occasion, so that JESUS CHRIST "receives the reward of His Sufferings" on behalf of ALL HUMANITY, because bringing honor, renown and adoration in His Name, to His Fame, and for His Glory is "the air we breath"; as committed and devoted CHRIST FOLLOWERS for all of eternity! RELATIONSHIPS ARE KEY.. There's no doubt about the absolute importance of RELATIONSHIPS in the Kingdom of God! Although we ...

"MAKE US 'ONE' LORD, IN YOU".. Meditate on PSALM 37 the whole month of January.. Psalm 37 Commentary : In the 37th Psalm, David writes that God sustains the righteous ( Psalm 37:17 ) and that their inheritance will be everlasting ( Psalm 37:18 ). The salvation of the righteous is from the Lord ( Psalm 37:39 ). It is a psalm of God's faithfulness and an encouragement that the righteous do not trust Him in vain. Psalm 37:5 challenges the reader or listener to "commit your way to the Lord; trust in Him." In a perfect world, we wouldn't need God to be our refuge, because there would be no threats. But in this fallen and broken world, we desperately need Him to be our refuge. The psalmist instructs that we not fret or be envious because of those who do evil ( Psalm 37:1 ) because they will fade away quickly like the grass ( Psalm 37:2 ). Evil has no staying power. Even though evil gains a foothold in the short term and may...

"APOSTOLIC GOVERNMENT AND PROPHETIC ALIGNMENT THROUGH AUTHENTIC & CONSISTENT ENGAGEMENT" Pastor Walter: Please make sense of the 'Apostolic Government' and 'Prophetic Alignment' for me in laymen's terms? I want to know what to expect? " Apostolic Government " is about the very power, presence, and rule of Christ and His Kingdom (in the hearts of humanity) being the predominant influence that transforms lives in a greater dimension; because through the acceptance and appropriation of His Finished Work by those that believe — for the sake of the world, we will intentionally suffer, serve, and sacrifice as laborers sent on His behalf to advance the Kingdom of God. " Prophetic Alignment " is about the conscious commitment that devoted believers make in following the Holy Spirit's leadership for the times and seasons that we presently find ourselves, as “we walk by faith and not by sight”. Through this intent...

“Don’t End This Year In DEFEAT!” Pastor Walter L Smith III and Pure In Heart Int'l Ministries, Inc. - PIHIM; WS-3 Enterprises & Associates **VOICE OF THE FLESH** 1) INTERNAL VOICE = SOULISH/FEELINGS AND FALACY (Faulty Reasoning/Invalid Arguments) — SOUL TIES 2) EXTERNAL VOICE = SPIRITUAL/TRUTH AND REALITY (Real Existence/Substantive Arguments) — VOICE OF CONSCIENCE - DISTANT in your heart towards The Father.. - DAMAGED from trusting someone again; but you prayed and it still didn't work out.. - DELUSIONAL by trying to fit a square in a hole; and trying NOT to see what is obvious to the “natural eye”; you dont need discernment to SEE THIS! It is hard to imagine a being like Lucifer (Satan) believing he could even do battle with God, much less defeat Him. Even the most depraved mind should be able to see that a creature cannot possibly contend with the Creator. Yet Satan attempted to dethrone God and strives to this day to defy God’s authority, thwart His plans, and ...

HAPPY NEW YEAR's FAMILY! EVERYONE wants God to be good to them - even those who don't really serve HIM! Every year, no matter what seeds we've sown, there always seems to be something quite exciting about the New Year...at least in our "youthful thinking"! Somewhere there's an unwritten code and expectation of us all, about this time of the year!   For instance: - This is normally seen as the "perfect time" to get a tax write-off, even if you're not genuinely charitable any other time of the year. - This is the time that people "clean out" their Rolodexes of relationships, to evaluate who is "adding to their lives", etc..the problem with that is relationships were never meant to be transactional; so maybe focusing on "how to be a better person" would automatically be the only stewardship required, as it pertains to building and maintaining your "healthy" relationships.. I...

"Christ-Identity" is really the most liberating existence in our human experience, when our understanding of the Scripture is properly balanced, if the voices we faithfully follow have been approved "to rightly divide the Word of Truth". "Denominational Preferences", "Theological Slants", and "Philosophical Bents" have little to no importance to that "identity in Christ", if or unless our focus in cultivating, developing and nurturing our relationship with The Lord, is primarily focused upon these things as a priority. Each of us have been in some way or the other - influenced by these things, which are not inherently evil; but may act as a major distraction to our truly growing "in The Lord", and in turn "being the witness" that HE has purposed - without living as a hostage to humanly devised commandments, traditions and uniformity that can never bring us "into the unity of the faith...
