Caleb... This is What a Miracle Looks Like

When you pray without doubting, a miracle will come. If you have wholehearted faith your miracle will come. Six montha ago God gave me a vision of this longed for child. My vision was so clear I knew the color of his hair, his sex, the color of his skin, the time of the year he would come and the little standup curls on the top of his head. I asked God to bless this child, keep him safe until the time for him to come, and send the Angels to guard him until he reached safe harbor.

When he came he was exactly as I saw in the vision. He came on time. He knew all of us. God did one better because when this baby came he knew us. Oh yes, the angels were with this child since his birth, guarding and protecting him. His name is Caleb...another message from God. Caleb means wholehearted faith. Caleb was one of the two spies who followed Moses from Egypt that believed wholeheartedly that God's promises were true. God sent us a message from Caleb of old to remind us to never doubt, but maintain wholehearted faith.

How much God must have loved Caleb of old. Wouldn't it be wonderful for God to love you so much that he used you as a landmark to someone in need? What a wonderful thing...to be beloved and remembered by God.

Giving Thanks

Psalm 100

 ¹Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.

 ²Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing.

 ³Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

 ⁴Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

 ⁵For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.

     

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is the time for family and friends to come together to remember the blessings and triumphs of the year.
November is a month when most are thinking about traveling to visit family, turkey dinners, and pumpkin pie. God has answered several prayers for me this week and I am supremely grateful. Take a moment this month to give thanks to the Most High God. It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High: Psalms 92: 1

Changing Your Mind

Romans 12: 1-2
¹ I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. ² And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.


We live in a world that is constantly changing. Technology changes from one day to the next. It is easy to get used to the idea that change is the norm. Our minds get used to change so we forget that some things are not meant to change. 


Doctrinal truths never change. New revelations do not come down the pipe to make our foundation different. God never changes. The word of God never changes. Hebrews 13: 8 says, ⁸Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.


It is easy to drift into a train of thought brings doubt and confusion. Transform your mind. How?
Prayer. Prayer is a conversation with God. God will restore your soul and transform your mind to give you clarity. Submit to the Lord. Remember your landmarks. Renew your mind! Do it today!
It is still true that Just A Little Talk With Jesus Makes It Right!

Strength

Psalms 27: 1


¹ The LORD is my light and my salvation;
         Whom shall I fear?
         The LORD is the strength of my life;
         Of whom shall I be afraid?


No matter what comes into my life, The Lord is my light and salvation. He is my strength and I will look to Him to bring me out. 

Are You A Believer?

James 1: 5-8
⁵If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. ⁶But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. ⁷That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord;  ⁸ he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does.


Mark 16: 16-18
¹⁶ He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. ¹⁷ And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; ¹⁸ they^[b] will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”


Belief is an integral part of the plan of salvation. Here are two examples of Disciples talking about the need for belief. James says if you ask but doubt you are double minded and unstable in all your ways. Mark makes it clear that the first statement, "he that believeth and is baptized will be saved," is qualified by the next verse, "and these signs will follow those who believe:"...


The time has come to give serious consideration to this statement. If your salvation depends on the strength of your belief then it is worthy of serious consideration. 


Revelation 21: 8
 ⁸But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.


I find it impossible to believe that we can ignore the words of Mark 16: 17. There are signs who follow the believer. Are you a believer? Do these signs follow you? 

Spiritual Warfare

Ephesians 6: 10-18 (NIV)

¹⁰Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. ¹¹Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. ¹²For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. ¹³Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. ¹⁴Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, ¹⁵and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. ¹⁶In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. ¹⁷Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. ¹⁸And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.


         




























We are living in perilous times. If you are a prayer warrior you should know that your adversary is coming against you. He is merciless. Although his tools are deceit and deception, he CAN make you believe the pain you feel is REAL. Your job is to see through the devices of your adversary and bind the strongman using the power you received when you received the Gift of the Holy Spirit.  You have the power. Use it in Jesus Name!


Blessings, 


Remember your fasting and prayer for TCH and the General Conference 2010 coming to Houston in September!
