Moving From Provision To Possession

Colossians 1:16 NKJV For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. All of the difficulties which Israel went through was for God fulfilling His purpose in and through them. His ultimate plan was for the Messiah to be in Israel at the proper time. God was delivering Israel, for them to be in their proper place.  For us to fulfill our purpose, we must be in the proper place. If we are not at peace or we are without the amount of income to sustain us or the vision God has given us. We are possibly not at the place of our assignment yet. God will not leave us without having what we need to accomplish our purpose. God will move us from provision to possesion. He will not leave us where we are, but lead us to our destined end. Here is an example we can look at to give us some perspective, Egypt is a symbol of not enoug...

Pure Religion

In years past and in some cases today, you hear people talk about having religion. In their thought process they think that following a religious system is what will allow them entrance into Heaven. As I am sure you know, it is about a relationship with Jesus Christ and accepting his gift of salvation or deliverance from sin. The description of religion biblically is quite different than what you hear from those who are outside of a relationship with Christ. The book of James gives the biblical definition of what true religion truly is. Lets look at: James 1:27 Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you. Notice what James said. Biblical religion is taking care of children without parents and women without a living husband. In some cases, the widows have young children who are in need of care. Scripture refers to their being in distress. They are ones who have needs that ar...

Step Into Your Position

Step Into Your Position Exodus 17:5 NLT The Lord said to Moses, “Walk out in front of the people. Take your staff, the one you used when you struck the water of the Nile, and call some of the elders of Israel to join you. When God calls you out from being a part of the crowd, you are now out front. As a result, people look at you differently. You are not one of the guys any longer. You are leading people somewhere. God gives you a vision and you now have a drive in you to accomplish the vision. As a leader, especially those in an Apostolic office, you go before the people and blaze trails that no one has blazed before. You are different as a leader, because failure gives you fuel to keep going until you find where you are destined to be. You do not give up. You have a drive inside you. When you are at the beginning of any new place in ministry, you must remember each is a baby step to reach your destiny. Apostolic is your leading to the unknown. Doors open as you go. When...

Tend The Garden

Genesis 2:15-17 15 The Lord God placed the man in the Garden of Eden to tend and watch over it. 16 But the Lord God warned him, “You may freely eat the fruit of every tree in the garden 17 except the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. If you eat its fruit, you are sure to die. Malachi 3:8-11 8 “Should people cheat God? Yet you have cheated me! “But you ask, ‘What do you mean? When did we ever cheat you?’ “You have cheated me of the tithes and offerings due to me. 9 You are under a curse, for your whole nation has been cheating me. 10 Bring all the tithes into the storehouse so there will be enough food in my Temple. If you do,” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, “I will open the windows of heaven for you. I will pour out a blessing so great you won’t have enough room to take it in! Try it! Put me to the test! 11 Your crops will be abundant, for I will guard them from insects and disease. Your grapes will not fall from the vine before they are ripe,” says the Lord of Heaven’s ...

Vocal Training Recommendations

Vocal Training Notes from a seminar. Before following any recommendations mentioned here check with a professional. Their is no reason to be fearful. We are crucified in Christ. Jesus has to be on the throne in our lives. We must die to ourselves. Soli deo gloria-To God alone be the glory. We have to train the brain. "We-nike" area is where communication is from, out of the brain. We learn by feeling and hearing. Remember how it feels, it will allow you to do it properly. You sing with your brain. We only use 8% of the brain. According to a voice trainer, singing isn't a talent or gift, he stated, it is a hidden capacity, not revealed. A lack of knowledge and understanding of correct technique. It is an aquired skill with tons of sweat and blood. It has been described as, a highly qurentive procession tuning of energy. Energy, phoenation and resonance. Singing is super pronounciation of emotionalized speech, beautifully sustained. Our throat is a megaphone. To sing...

Who are Great People?

I have heard the question many times over the years, how does someone become great? You will hear various answers from many points of view. I heard it said the best, in my opinion, when I heard, "Great people are people who make other people great."

Mind and Imagination

The Mind operates in what it remembers. All things, including the good and bad things that it has seen, all things as they are before your eyes. Your mind stores the information, whether you can recall it immediatly or not. The Imagination is for things which are unseen. Here you can see yourself complete and whole. You can picture things as they can be, as God has shown you. As a result, you can believe God for things that haven't manifested in your life yet. Remember what Hebrews 11:1 NKJV says, "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."
