Great Honor

Acts 26: 19 - '...therefore King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to that heavenly vision...'

I wanted to take some time and express my condolences and heart - felt gratitude to the fallen fireman this past weekend.  They risked their lives for the cause of saving others.  A memorial is being held in their honor today in downtown Houston.  No doubt, these men, (and a young woman), will be remembered for the sacrifice they made that day.
I wonder how you and I will be remembered ?

What will be your legacy?  Can I tell you that you are shaping your destiny and legacy right now!  The decisions you're making today are eventually going to chart your tomorrow.  People will remember you, however in a different light.  As a child of God, many will remember you for Who You Are, not just what you've done.  Later on in the scripture I showed you...King Agrippa tells the Apostle Paul, '...Paul, you almost persuade me to be a Christian!'


Why did he say that?  He said that because as Paul was testifying, the King could feel his passion for the gospel...it was more than performance, Jesus had consumed his entire life!  When you speak, when you make decisions, how you carry yourself; are people persuaded that this is more than a performance?

Jas. 1: 22 - 24, 'Be doers of the word, not hearers only deceiving yourselves.  If anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man beholding himself in a mirror; he observes himself, walks away, and forgets what manner of man he was.'

James tells us we have to do more than hear the gospel, we have to apply it to our everyday living!  Are you willing to sacrifice your life for Jesus like these brave firemen did for others?  Don't worry, one day you're going to find out!!

Overcoming Witchcraft

Numbers 23:20 - "...Behold I have received a command to bless; He has blessed, and I cannot reverse it..." It is in the devil's nature to oppose, restrict, and curse the people of God. He will stop at nothing to make you and I very small...this is what witchcraft is designed to do; we, as the people of God must stand up and walk in the freedom that God has given us. Too many of God's children simply accept the circumstances they face, this allows the devil to tell you and I that the hell we are going through is either 'normal', or it's 'our fault.' This is a lie from hell! God's people are to be blessed...have dominion and authority - we no longer have to live under the tyranny of hell and its principalities - "...He whom the Son sets free is free indeed" It's time to do business with God and break the chains of witchcraft and curses off of our lives! First of all, you must recognize where the curse is coming from and ...

Merry Christmas

Jeremiah 29: 11 - '...to give you a future and a hope...' Once upon a mountain top, 3 little trees stood and dreamed of what they would become. The first tree looked up to the stars saying, "I want to hold treasure; I want to be covered with gold and precious stones!" "I'll be the most beautiful treasure chest the world has ever seen!" The second tree said, "I want to be traveling mighty waters and powerful kings, I'll be the most powerful ship ever built!"  The third tree stood tall, gazing into heaven saying, "I do not wish to leave this mountain at all...instead I want to be so tall, that when people from below gaze upon me, they will look to God." Years had past and one day, 3 woodcutters climbed the mountain top...the first woodcutter saw the first tree and said, "This is perfect for me." With one swipe of the blade, the tree fell. "Now I shall become a great treasure chest," the first tree sa...

Need of Ministry

1 Samuel 3:1-14  3 Now the boy Samuel ministered to the Lord before Eli. And the word of the Lord was rare in those days; there was no widespread revelation. 2 And it came to pass at that time, while Eli was lying down in his place, and when his eyes had begun to grow so dim that he could not see, 3 and before the lamp of God went out in the tabernacle of the Lord where the ark of God was, and while Samuel was lying down, 4 that the Lord called Samuel. And he answered, “Here I am!” 5 So he ran to Eli and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” And he said, “I did not call; lie down again.” And he went and lay down. 6 Then the Lord called yet again, “Samuel!” So Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” He answered, “I did not call, my son; lie down again.” 7 (Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord, nor was the word of the Lord yet revealed to him.) 8 And the Lord called Samuel again the third time. So he arose and went to Eli, and said, “H...
