Very few men born into time, are able to achieve and reach the heights of servitude and greatness, while also carrying the torch of humility and faithfulness as they've consistently represented Christ's Kingdom wisely, thoughtfully and victorious — over many decades without controversy, like PASTOR JACK HAYFORD (Jack Hayford Ministries) absolutely did! As a member of Angelus Temple The Church of The Dream Center, under the leadership of Pastor Matthew Barnett, which I believe is part of The Foursquare Church and Foursquare Missions International, I am honored to share in the life and legacy of both Dr. Hayford and the Legacy of Aimee Semple McPherson (Founder of Angelus Temple) that includes INTEGRITY, PRAYER, and HEALING! May our generations be eternally changed and transformed by his words and life message that I pray will be an encouragement, inspiration, and relevant motivation for our youth and young adults through the sharing of his legacy, life ...

"SETTLED AND SATISFIED".. Agreement and Alignment with God through His Holy Word, is the key to thriving , overcoming and reigning victorious in 2023!! If you don't make sure that the reigns of your heart stays in your control , as you keep your hands in His Hands , He will alleviate the stress and pressure associated with lack of clarity, focus and fear! CONTENTMENT One dictionary defines contentment as " the state of being mentally or emotionally satisfied with things as they are ." Today it is rare that we find anyone who is truly content with his or her condition in life. The Bible has a great deal to say about contentment—being satisfied with what we have, who we are, and where we're going. Jesus said, "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?" ( Matthew 6...

"THE OUTWORKING OF THE FALSE APOSTOLIC ORDER".. Pastor Walter L Smith III and Pure In Heart Int'l Ministries, Inc. - PIHIM; WS-3 Enterprises & Associates GOD's STILL SOVEREIGN, WHILE MEN RULE THE WORLD.. God's sovereignty is one of the most important principles in Christian theology, as well as one of its most hotly debated. Whether or not God is actually sovereign is usually not a topic of debate; all mainstream Christian sects agree that God is preeminent in power and authority. God's sovereignty is a natural consequence of His omniscience , omnipotence , and omnipresence . What's subject to disagreement is to what extent God applies His sovereignty—specifically, how much control He exerts over the wills of men. When we speak of the sovereignty of God, we mean He rules the universe, but then the debate begins over when and where His control is direct and when it is indirect. God is described in the Bible as all-powerful and...

UNEDUCATED and ILL-PREPARED preaching or teaching is a MAJOR ISSUE in Christ's Church! There are too many people: - THAT have never been DISCIPLED, so there reproducing their experience, and NOT God's Word! - NOT submitted to ANY spiritual authority and has NO ACCOUNTABILITY to anyone at all! - NOT thoroughly prepared to share the Gospel message, but are OPPORTUNISTS with appetites, and no "real calling" to boot! - NOT acquainted with systematic theology or even properly grounded in the "essentials" of the Gospel, so they MISSPEAK and parade their voice to be heard, without regard for much of anything but what they heard someone else say or recently read during a "google search"! Smh.. Maybe YOU are supposed to SUPPORT someone who God has actually "anointed" to do certain things, instead of taking it upon yourself to "be" the answer -- while innocently scattering more people than you gather!...

"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...
