In the realm of the spirit, the call to maturity for the Body of Christ is critical, and it reminds me of an example I read in the "Conservative Outpost" about Ronald Reagan. President Reagan was "like a veteran quarterback who comes up to the line of scrimmage, takes a glance at how the other team is deployed against him, and knows automatically what he needs to do." With the enemy's strategies of war more intense than they've ever been before, there is not enough time for the complacent church and carnal Christians "to figure it out from scratch", while waiting for the ball to be snapped. You and I have to have figured out such things "long before the game began", and now should only just need to execute! If you've been trying to figure out why the long preparations are necessary, here's why! God is NOT going to put you in the game "half-cocked" and ill-equipped! This is the reason the scriptures for...

To ALL of my co-laborers in the gospel, I want to affirm your call, encourage your faith, and support the unique work in the vineyard in which God has called YOU to serve! Many times, the isolation and loneliness that's associated with being a true messenger of the Gospel of the Kingdom is just NOT easy to bare! So, private struggles and internal battles become even more pervasive, and a point of satanic access in the "gates" and "armor" of the believer - is compromised, so we end up cycling in defeat for much of our Christian walk! Noah was a real-life example of what "swimming up stream" looks like, in the realm of the spirit. No one wants to really look foolish, while every one else simply wants to appear "hip" and "in touch" with life (relevant); but often at the high cost of being "in darkness", because we've adopted "cultural definitions" for significance, relevance and positive influence am...

PAY ATTENTION.. The Lord is demystifying the complexities of mixed-up men, teaching doctrines of demons and strange heresies that have complicated the simplicity of HIS written word! Do NOT seek to be justified before men - only seek to honor God, and your every need will be supplied above anything you could dare ask or think! "What can we bring to the Lord ? What kind of offerings should we give him? Should we bow before God with offerings of yearling calves? Should we offer him thousands of rams and ten thousand rivers of olive oil? Should we sacrifice our firstborn children to pay for our sins? No, O people, the L ord has told you what is good, and this is what he requires of you: to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God." (Micah 6:6-8 NLT) LET THEM "BE".. You NEVER have to be concerned about whether a person is "trustworthy" or not, if you just LET THEM BE who they are! "Time" has an interesting...

A NEW APPRECIATION: Because of the satanic strategies employed against Christ's Church, to diminish the importance of godly authority, and to in turn, send unyielded counterfeits into our midst without a genuine reliance upon the "Resident Expert" (The Holy Spirit); God is positioning HIS people to walk in their authority (in Christ) like never before! As an extension of Christ's ministry in the earth, the relevance of genuine, spirit-led" leaders, will "play big" as thriving in the coming days will be all about "who we're connected to"! As "darkness covers the earth and gross darkness the people", the "light" that shines around "the remnant" in Christ's Church will have greater significance than ever before! "A New Appreciation" for credible and legitimate spiritual leadership in Christ's Church will erupt in 2013! The power of "answered prayer" and divine opportunities...

This important HISTORY and the brilliant thoughts and research conducted by these ACADEMIC GIANTS, which have harnessed HISTORICAL "TRUTH" -- in context, is very important to bring into the mix of the needed "educational infusion" of both U.S and "American" history books -- as it's been previously told; so that we can RIGHT the wrong of blatant mischaracterization and misinformation of African American contributions to this country. AFTER this achievement has been accomplished and our textbooks are finally "changed", simultaneously, we also need to conduct a comprehensive marketing campaign through public service announcements (PSA's) and educational short-films (in every classroom and public library, at all levels) to broadcast these historical truths for at least the next fifty years. And, to the changing and emerging generations that have already rebelled against our status quo history, because "student-research" and ...

There's an INTERESTING "theology" around "getting or completing your education" amongst many Pentecostal and Charismatic ministers, but WHY? I'm researching it now, but there's a FEW THINGS that come to my mind as I'm thinking about it: - Some people believe that "revelation knowledge" makes "base knowledge", unnecessary..THIS is FALSE, and proves to be if you follow the logical path to that thinking. E.g. - IF GOD "gives us a revelation about a disease someone's battling with -- through a "word of knowledge" or "word of wisdom", the NEXT DAY we can't go "practice medicine"; right?!? RIGHT! "Laugh out loud!"! YES, that "revelation" may provide insight that makes medicine or the scheduled procedure unnecessary, but has NO BEARING on your "capacity" beyond what was "revealed"! - Some people "say" that "God told them, "th...
