When we think of the word demonstration what do we think of? Is it an expression of what we believe and have compassion for? Or something else, When we think of Gods Spirit allot of times we see Him move in various seasons of our lives but as with any living relationship as we desire for Him to move He also wants us to move towards Him. As one who’s mission statement is to Love the Lord with all my hart mind and soul. I find that Praise is one aspect of my relationship with Him that allows me to express my love towards our Heavenly Father. Once I praise Him not just with my heart but also with my actions, we honor the one who Lives in us. Since we show our love towards Him, He delights in demonstrating His love towards us.

What if this happened? Does it matter?

Lets take a fresh look at judgement, the reason we are condemned is for refusing to Trust in Christ, so the question is do you believe. Secondly, if every things around us falls apart; or the worst prophetic word we hear comes to pass. Are we walking in the peace of God we know, understanding that nothing can seperate us from Christ love . Take a look at John 3:17,18,: John 16:33 Romans 8:28

I hope this will be my last post concerning the New Year but?  Preachers and I have been no different and have preached about how the formal and the later rain has come together in Pentecost – the current out pouring of God’s Spirit Lately, I have been seeing and addressing how that along with the moving of the Holy Spirit. That the spirit or types of the antichrist are also running together creating a perceived division within the prophetic movement in the United States as well as being worldwide, creating a spirit of confusion between what is happening locally compared to what is going on globally. Besides the political drama and the year 2012 deception all this is created so that we do not focus on the real issues of the day.  Creating income for some but sadly adding to the falling away within the Church. Which needs to be stopped, with in time it can be if we refocus on the Great Commission and discipleship development.    

When was the last time you looked at the Doctrine of Hell? If we are blessed with all the promises of God and we are. Then we are held accountable to the same promises.

One of the interesting things as we enter the new year, is that in spite of  what is trying to stop the Church we  we should have discovered that nothing can hinder the move of Gods spirit.Yet the reality we developing relationships with the lost the how can people come to know the one we love as Lord and Savior. As well as not going too the depth of prayer that we need to have to reach this generation. In addition,are we not hearing and obeying Gods word.

Its not that we are not praying its how we are praying that makes the difference. I would start with praying for family, friends, coworkers. Currently it takes about 5 years to for me to bring in people to the  my home Church at this time. I do know for others the the time is faster but that depends on relationship skills and Gods timing. 

Note I come from being a minister who closed a Church due to not developing relationships within the community that I lived and still love. With the understanding that at times killing a dead horse can be a good thing.

When we talk about how God make obvious as to whom He is. He will, make Himself known as God.

Again in praying about 2011, I find another Y2K developing over the year 2012.  This issue will create the same type of fear that Y2K did causing a polarization of the church. Causing the center of attention to be on the Coming of the Lord which is not a bad thing but polarizes us in to inactivity rather than fulfilling the great commission.  This will also create a revival of “ a millennialism”  “ the view that the 1000 year millennial reign of Christ has all ready happened since the Rapture of the Church has not taken place at this time.  

As I begin to pray about 2011, I am concerned that we are becoming too dependent upon the political process as a means of creating hope and change rather than presenting the Kingdom of God to a lost and dying world.  In becoming dependent upon this process we will continue to lose people who would be involved in the local church, yet instead creating a drop off of in Church attendance and membership. As this happens another issue that is already happening is the older we get in our walk with the Lord the fewer none Christians are in our sphere of influence, creating fewer decisions for Christ. Just take a look at who we have lunch with and who is on our networking pages too prove my point.

How do I respond to the convection of the Holy Spirit? It is when He speaks our Father's word to my heart so that I can apply His word to my life so that I would not sin against Him, obeying what I am hearing with in His word.

If we were under the convection of the Holy Spirit what would He say to us.

When we talk about righteousness take a look at the book of Ephesians. Paul explains righteousness as our position of who we are in Christ, along with the benefits what we have in Him and the relationship we have with our Heavenly Father Since we are blessed and held accountable to His word.

One way of memorizing the book of Ephesians: is how we are seated with Christ, how we walk in Christ, how we stand in Christ.

Why are we celebrating, In a post Christian America we left the Word of God as our means of defining righteousness. Because of this our rejoicing is vane and blinded having left the word of God as a means of defining righteousness. My concern is due to political compromise are we creating a greater evil rather than stopping one. Being blinded by false hope.

When was the last time we honored the Saints who have mentored us. Saying thanking you, for example I think of the Lindsay family, founders of Christ for the Nations.  As well as Loyed Aud, John Garlock, Bro and Sis Posey, Susian Bookstaver, Everet Pryon,  Murphy and  many more. We do have a great cheering section cheering us on to be like the Lord we Love
