I believe expectation is the strongest form of faith. I’ve learned that I have to change my expectations to line up with what I know is true - especially before I speak. I know that I have been healed of crippling arthritis, and by God’s grace, I have seen x-ray proof of the change. I … Continue reading Changing Expectations →

(Photo: news.hr.ufl.edu) As I think about what I was taught in school regarding the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, his “I Have A Dream” speech is most prominent. But recently, while working on a project, I had an opportunity to watch a documentary called King In The Wilderness. The documentary chronicles the latter chapters … Continue reading Remembering Dr. King →

The Apostle Paul explained how to live a victorious life - free from sin, in very simple terms… “I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.” Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭16‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ However, it’s a heck of a lot easier said than done. Why? I realized that there were … Continue reading Walking In The Spirit →

When we walk in the knowledge of God, there is no room for the main cause of stress - fear. Why? Because we walk with the understanding that God is doing the work through us and it’s not by us. We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us (Philippians 4:13). God is love, … Continue reading Cure for Stress →

It’s easy to be a Christian in name only - we use the title quite liberally. However, the vast majority of the time “Christian” is used to describe a religious practice - not a state of being. Religious titles and labels aren’t needed when it’s a way of life. So why are religious labels used … Continue reading Following Christ is not a religious practice →

Click bait - I define as the art of enticing or attracting attention with a text, link, or image, to get someone to view a particular website. There is no end to post by or about would be celebrities - and some controversial thing that they said or did. In most cases the information you … Continue reading Click Bait →

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good testimony. By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.” ‭‭(Hebrews‬ ‭11‬:‭1‬-‭3‬) … Continue reading Importance of Faith →

I am so thankful that God is predictable. The enemy knows this as well - the character of God is clearly written in the Bible. The purpose for my life is plain for me to see - to be conformed into the image of Christ Jesus, and make disciples of Him. “For whom He foreknew, … Continue reading I AM is not the variable, I am →

I can help other people, but still have a character or nature that can fail to hold onto the authority I’ve been given. If I allow it, when it comes to doing good I can suffer paralysis by analysis. “Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a … Continue reading Paralysis by Analysis →

I’m blessed that my grandmother and parents never transferred the fear and pain they experienced. What they did transfer was wisdom. I was taught to judge behavior I observed and not rely on someone else’s opinion. I was told that I was smart, capable, and that I would have to fight harder from the place … Continue reading Leave A Legacy Of Wisdom →

What is peace in the Christian faith? It’s the tranquil state of my soul (mind, will, and emotions), being assured of my salvation through Christ, fearing nothing from God, and being content. I have to remember that only good comes from my Heavenly Father. God would never use a sickness, illness, disease, or anything bad … Continue reading Strength in Peace →

I shared in a previous post the danger of wrong thinking. It creates a mindset that keeps us from being effective for the Kingdom. Another thing that keeps us ineffective is not understanding our position in Christ. In many cases the church has promoted the idea of a progressive sanctification. That is accepting Christ and … Continue reading Grow Up Into Christ →

Knowing or just believing is not enough - I have to believe and trust to the point of reliance on Jesus Christ. Christianity is not a religion, it’s a relationship with Christ Jesus - a relationship that allows me to be used by Him to bless others. I’m not waiting for a move of God … Continue reading Victorious living is doing the will of God →

What I think and what I spend time thinking about is important. Why? Because my thoughts determine what I do. More importantly, the thoughts I choose to trust develop my ideology - or what I believe in my heart. “For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. “Eat and drink!” he says to … Continue reading Life and death begin with a thought →

The only way to mature in my faith, or grow up, is to do the will of my Father. Otherwise, I will remain a “baby” and be of use to no one. Being mature, or being able to handle solid food, also means being able to distinguish or discern good from evil . That sounded … Continue reading Mature Faith →

Morning walk - Lake Junaluska, NC

What is a demon? Well, if I allow “Hollywood” to continue telling me the story, I would always be deceived - primarily driven by fear. I still remember some of the scariest movies I saw as a kid, everything from The Exorcist to Nightmare on Elm Street, and many more - all created to scare … Continue reading Demon Deception →

Fox Theatre - March 19, 2022

There’s an old saying, “We have nothing to fear but fear itself.” Credit is given to Franklin D. Roosevelt from a speech he gave during the Great Depression. However, the phrase was originated by a sixteenth century French writer named Michel de Montaigne. Where it originated is not the point of this post, I just … Continue reading No need to fear →

I was called to be a leader, and the first thing I had to learn about leading was that it can only be done by serving. In order to get people to receive what I had to say, they needed to know I cared about them - by showing love, any doubt was removed. I … Continue reading Love is leadership →

Faith has corresponding action. Simply hearing the Word does not produce faith. I can believe what I hear, but faith in what I hear is produced when I take action based on what I believed. I can not say I don’t have enough faith. By saying saying that, what I’m really saying is I don’t … Continue reading Faith requires action →

I believe I am meant to walk in divine health, but to get there and stay there, I cannot live with one foot in the Kingdom and one in the world. What I mean by this is I learned to trust God and not conventional medicine. I know not everyone would agree that it’s a … Continue reading Walking In Divine Health →

I believe that God wants everyone healed. Why? Because I don’t believe there is any sickness or illness in heaven. One of the first prayers I ever learned was the “Lords Prayer” as it is commonly called. Even in that prayer, which Jesus taught, states God’s will be done as it is in heaven. ““Therefore … Continue reading My prayers for healing took time… →

I used to be convinced that I didn’t have enough faith when my prayers weren’t answered, or at least answered the way I had hoped. Thankfully, I finally learned the truth, which was not easy to admit, that my real problem was a lack of trust. I realize now that I have enough faith. The … Continue reading The right type of faith →

This is my new favorite tee. It’s such a cool reminder of who I am - and I love to share the truth it states to everyone I encounter by helping them in any way I can. Why? It’s what Jesus commanded us to do: “A new commandment I give to you, that you love … Continue reading My favorite PSA →

As a kid I remember being able to walk to a church meeting on Sunday morning. It was in the middle of my neighborhood, so no one had to walk more than a block to get there. If I remember correctly, I don’t think the building could hold more than two hundred people shoulder to … Continue reading Being makes the difference →

I believe I’ve been giving Mondays a bad rap. After a couple of days off I would look at a Mondays with disdain. Subsequently, most Mondays seemed long and hectic. Truth is, it was all attitude. My work load was no heavier on Monday than it was any other day of the week. When I … Continue reading Monday is the new Friday →

Entrance to Crabapple Park - Roswell, Ga One of favorite times with God is while walking in the park. I’m completely surrounded by life and I get totally energized. I typically spend most of my day in front of a computer. As often as I can, I take a walk during my lunch time and … Continue reading Unplug, enjoy life →

I have to admit, initially I was shocked at the things I currently see in the media. The pure evil that comes out of mouths of people tells me just how dark their souls have become. This didn’t happen overnight - but occurred because we, as Christians, comprised on the truth of God’s word and … Continue reading The Church is not a government institution →

I refuse to get caught up in this argument about how many genders there are. The word of God settles it. For those who refuse to believe the Bible, science also confirms that truth. I’m not being hateful in speaking the truth, which is what the world wants me to believe. I believe what Jesus … Continue reading Speaking the Truth is Love →

One of the best things I have done for myself in recent years is progressively filter and reduce the amount of social content I consume. Conversely, I intentionally look for and share content that tells me who I really am in Christ. Honestly, it’s absolutely the best thing you can do to get your flesh … Continue reading Jesus is my only example →

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.”‭‭II Corinthians‬ ‭5:17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ The Word is very clear, when we receive Christ we become a new creation - practically a new species. Yes, it’s true you may not look different on the outside … Continue reading Forget the past, you are a new creation →

We all have one purpose - to be conformed into the image of Jesus Christ. What does that mean? It means I do what my Father does. I hear and obey what my Father says. I see others the way my Father sees them. I make it my priority to be where my Father wants … Continue reading We all have one purpose →

Brothers and sisters we live in a time where the world tells us up is down and down is up - it just depends on your perspective. Relativism is the world’s religion. Feeding our “self-indulgent-nature” is how the world fills its pews. “Watch over your heart with all diligence, For from it flow the springs … Continue reading Relationship not Religion →

How more productive would we be if we applied this principle more in our lives? I believe this not only applies when dealing with other people - but also being straight forward with ourselves. For some reason it seems that we like to live in the gray area where we can avoid confrontation of any … Continue reading You can’t live in the gray →

The sooner we realize it all belongs to God, the sooner we stop participating and facilitating the foolishness we see in the world - that’s propagandized by media. Deceit, anger, hate, and fear are the tools of the enemy - to play us like pawns. The goal is to fool you into believing and behaving … Continue reading Rich in the right currency →

“Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me away from Your presence and do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation and sustain me with a willing spirit. Then I will teach transgressors Your ways, and … Continue reading My daily prayer →

God doesn’t make mistakes. We are diverse for a reason. Where you were born, the family you were born into, your sex, your gifts and talents are all things we use as an excuse for division. However, as His children we are called to work together for His glory. Jesus has a plan and purpose … Continue reading Diversity is a gift, not an excuse for hate →

Conflict and confusion is the name of the game - play it at your own peril because “the fix” is in the world’s favor. We don’t have to play the game because Jesus Christ has already made us victorious. The church needs to stand unified against evil and pray according to the Word. I don’t … Continue reading Satan’s Game →

Daylight is coming... but at this hour you may feel anxious and alone. Evil loves the cover of darkness and being cloaked by confusion. You have far more questions than you have answers. The enemy thinks he has an advantage - but it’s okay that we can’t see in the dark. We walk by faith, … Continue reading This too will pass… →

The next step I knew I had to take was to start the vitamin supplement protocol my wife was on. I required high dose of: Vitamin CVitamin DZinc My medical provider explained that Zinc would take out basically any virus, but you need Vitamin C and D to get it to your cells. I had … Continue reading Surviving Covid Part 2 →

I have to start by saying that I don’t know if I suffered from a variant or not. I can say that what I have experienced is nothing short of something demonic. In my entire life I have never experienced symptoms from a so called virus that I experienced with Covid. The first few days … Continue reading Surviving Covid Part 1 →
