Have You Had a WOW Moment?

I meet many professing Christians that are flat and live uninspiring lives due to the fact that they have not had a WOW moment with the Lord. I notice this particularly with those who were raised in religion. In such a case, it's mainly tradition and not a living, vibrant contact with the living God that moves them.

Such "Christians" never learned God's voice and have the concept that God is somewhere out there and He is not interested in anything but being good and going to church. Boring! God is not like that at all. He wants to get into every aspect of our lives and show Himself powerful and glorious. He loves "showing off" through His children.

But so few ever know this. It grieves me that there is a lack of hunger for the person of Christ, His word, and His works in our lives. We settle for being plain old human, never realizing that we were born from above to live a heavenly life on earth. We are here to demonstrate the majesty of God in Christ through our living.

It's more than being good. It's more than learning about God. It's about experiencing God and living Him out in a BIG way. It's about demonstrating who He is through the supernatural. People are not attracted by common. They are seeking a God who meets real-life needs. They are looking for the Jesus they heard about in the Bible. But to many, Jesus' life in nothing more than a Bible story.

I am here to proclaim that the life Jesus lived, we are destined to live! Not someday in Heaven, but NOW on earth. We were born anew to live Heaven's realities on Earth. We were created to honor God and glorify Him. We can't do that by being us. We need to LET Him be Him in us. We need the Holy Spirit to be allowed to inspire and lead us into doing great exploits to demonstrate the love, power, and majesty of a wonderful God.

This takes faith. Most Christian's play it safe by living according to tradition. Tradition KILLS! Tradition killed Jesus and it will kill you! Tradition is safe, but the Spirit is not in it one bit. Tradition doesn't produce WOW moments!

There comes a time when everyone who claims to be a Christian needs to confess that "their" view of God, "their" experience of God is lack-luster and dull. It all starts with confession. It all beings when we have to level with our Lord and tell the truth, we just don't really know Him. We just think we do. It beings with a search for something more. Jesus said, "Keep on asking, keep on seeking, keep on knocking." God is a God who loves to be pursued, discovered and found out. He is so vast, awesome, wonderful, and indescribable, how could we, as true Christian, live a live void of inspiration and power?

I'm done with living in the box that I am "supposed" to live in. God is raising up a people who seek Him and want Him. A people who are not afraid to follow the Lamb wherever He is going. He is seeking a people willing to fulfill their God-given assignments on Earth. He is looking for a people filled with WOW moments...divine encounters with Him.

Are you this kind of Christian, or will you stay in traditions box where it's safe? It may be safe, but it is void of the Spirit of life. Dare to seek Him with all your heart. Dare to let Him live in you and demonstrate Heaven's realities through you. Dare to be a true Christian filled with WOW moments, doing great exploits with and for the living God!

The world is hurting. People are seeking answers. If you are truly born from above, those answers are within you. Seek the Lord and let Him demonstrate those answers to the people around you. May God bless you as you pursue many WOW moments with the Lord!

Forgive Us Our Debts AS We...

Forgiveness is one of the biggest downfalls among Christians. Offenses abound and as a result, many bitter fellings.

We ask God to forgive us. We know that Christ died as a substitute for our sins and is bound, based on Christ's redemptive work on the cross, to forgive us...or is He?

In the model prayer, Jesus taught that we should pray in this way: "Father forgive us our debts AS we forgive everyone their debts to us." For the Father to forgive us our debts (tresspasses, offenses, etc.) we MUST forgive others. Actually, according to the way the verse is constructed, the Father will forgive us AS WE FORGIVE OTHERS. There is a condition here.

Forgiveness is God's nature. He paid the ultimate price to forgive you your massive debt. How dare we be unwilling to forgive others for what they have done to us. We were forgiven so much and yet are unwilling to forgive so little!

Let me tell you what unforgiveness will do for you: it will inprison you! Your unwillingness to forgive will make your life bitter and miserable. Many sicknesses are even due to an unforgiving heart.

Don't think that it's okay to say, "He/She owns me!" No one owes you anything! Besides, Jesus said that we need to forgive 70 time 7! An unforgiving heart is not God's heart. If you want to experience living debt-free with God, you have better release EVERYONE you even think owes you anything!

In my over 35 years as a Christian, many have offended me. Many have spread lies and gossiped about me. I was even sued by a group of Christians! It wasn't until the last several years did I see the danger of unforgiveness. I didn't truly understand the nature of God and His will that I harbor NO ill toward another person...especially the household of the faith. There are no excuses. There is NOTHING anyone could do to you that would justify a "you owe me" attitude.

To be like God, you must forgive. To honor God, you must forgive. To live debt-free and prosperous before God, you must forgive.

Make a list of all who you feel own you. Then declare forgiveness for each person on that list and burn it! Let go all that bitter root and you will experience true freedom.

Pray This Way-Give Us Today...

Today I would like to discuss the next section of the way the Lord instructed us to pray. This is the section that has to do with our provision. You may be shocked at what I am about to write!

I was always troubled by this portion of the Word regarding the proper way to pray. According to most modern versions of the Bible it reads, "Give us today our daily bread." I was always troubled by this phrase because I thought it was saying that the Lord's heart was only to give us what we needed for each day. That bothered me because it didn't match God's promises and His nature of "more than enough." God is an abundant God, so why would Jesus tell us to pray for enough for just one day?

The religious mind says "just enough" is God's way of keeping us coming to Him and always seeking Him. That is nonsense! God is not a God who rations out His riches to HIS children! He is abundant and wants His children living in that abundance. What good father would not?

Through further study I found out that the word "daily" is the Greek word "epiousion" which is used only twice the the Bible (Matthew 6:11 & Luke 11:3). This word is not used in any other ancient document! Therefore there are differing opinions about what epiousion really means. Some scholars render this word "daily" while other render it "tomorrows." So which is it? "Give us today our daily bread" OR "Give us today tomorrows bread?" My answer is, BOTH!

Remember back in Exodus when God sent manna from Heaven? Remember what God instructed the children of Israel to do on the 6th day? He told them to collect a double portion, one for that day and a portion for TOMORROW, the Sabbath day, the day of REST! Only with a double portion can we have complete rest! With the double portion there is never a worry about tomorrows provision! With the double portion we can honor God by resting in His provision, free from worrying about our future.

When we pray in this way, "Give us today the double portion" we are praying this prayer according to God's heart and nature. He is an abundant God, the more-than-enough God, who wants to give us the double portion so we can enter into true rest with Him. Just think, if you prayed for the double portion every day, you would ALWAYS live in abundance and have more than enough for yourself and to share with others. You would fulfill the heart of God my living perpetually in the 7th day and remaining in the Sabbath rest with God.

Shalom!

I hope this post will blow your mind and get you into a further study of the "model prayer." Our God is awesome and He always wants to give us more than enough.

Pray This Way-Your Kingdom Come, Your Will Be Done...

In this post, I will continue with the way the Lord instructed us to pray…

“Your kingdom must now come:
Your will must be done right now,
As in heaven also on Earth:”

It is the longing of our Father to bring His Kingdom to Earth, not someday, but NOW. As believers we must stop seeking escape from this world, but rather honor God by giving him reign in our lives. When He is living and ruling freely in the believers, His Kingdom will manifest immediately! We do not have to wait for “someday!”

For Y’shua to come back, there must be something on earth that matches Him. I am afraid that the believer’s today barley resembles the Lord. How can Messiah return to a people that are so unlike Him?

When Y’shua came the first time, He brought Heaven to Earth. He brought in God’s Kingdom in life, authority, and power! The Lord was the ladder connecting Heaven to Earth and as such, the Father’s will was carried out through Him. This is exactly why the Father delighted in the Firstborn Son, Y’shua. Our Lord glorified the Father in Heaven as a man on the earth—and so should we.

Messiah came as the second man, the last Adam, to restore on Earth what was lost in Adam. Adam was to have dominion, but he lost that dominion. Messiah came and regained that dominion and gave it back to man through His death and resurrection. He gave us, the Father’s many sons, authority, to have dominion and multiply His Kingdom on earth TODAY not someday.

As believer’s, we have God’s life, nature, and authority on earth. But who is exercising this authority today? Is God’s Kingdom manifest on earth today? The answer is YES, but in a VERY LIMITED way. Most believers live lives under the lies, accusations, and deceptions of the enemy. The reason for this is because they do not know the truth about God nor themselves. They believe what they feel, not what God says. They spend little time in His word or under ministry that teaches Kingdom principles.

Today’s believers live as though they were still under the curse, but that couldn’t be further from the truth! Messiah redeemed us from the curse of the law that was imposed because of man’s fall from God’s grace. We, by no means HAVE to live in sin, sickness, disease, lack, and under the power of demonic forces. Messiah died to free us from these things. He came to give us shalom: Nothing lacking, nothing broken, more than enough! This is Kingdom manifestation. This is what the world longs for!

No wonder Y’shua instructed His disciples to “pray in this WAY.” He was telling His followers the intent of the Father, to bring His Kingdom to Earth through His many sons. If you are a believer, you are one of those sons. You have been redeemed and empowered to live as Y’shua lived, to walk as Y’shua walked, and to DO what Y’shua did! “Greater works will you do because I go to my Father” Y’shua said.

Y’shua was born of the Spirit, YOU were re-born of the Spirit. Y’shua was sinless, yet become sin for us to free us from the bondage of sin. Therefore sin SHOULD NOT be a factor of defeat for us. Y’shua wore a crown of thorns which represented the earth curse…toiling for provision. Therefore His death gave way to divine provision, more than enough. Y’shua’s death defeated satan and his satanic forces. How much more free could one get? However many live a though these things are not so!

You, the believer, have the life and power to bring in God’s Kingdom. You, the believer can live as Y’shua did, doing the will of the Father. Only doing what you hear the Father speak and see Him doing in Heaven.

Dear saints of the Most High God, get out of your self and into the spirit! Get out of your self in into His WORD! Learn who He is through THE BOOK and your experiences of the Spirit. Tell out the virtues of Him by living a live that magnifies Him. You can do this because He, as the life-giving Spirit dwells in you to duplicate what He did while on earth…bringing in the Father’s Kingdom and doing His will.

May God bless you to be the son or daughter of God that you are DESTINED to be! For His Kingdom must come and His will must be done as in Heaven, so on Earth!

I use Y'shua, Jesus' Hebrew name. My heart is to reach both Jew and Gentile with the good news.

You Love Us

After our prayer meeting tonight my granddaugher McKenzey and her friend Michelle wrote a song. I was empressed and very thankful to the Lord for the heart of these young people. May the Lord raise up this generation to love, honor and worship Him!

Pray in This Way - Restoring Honor to Our Father

In the next few posts I plan to cover what is commonly called "The Lord's Prayer." Actually it is not the Lord's prayer but His instruction on HOW to pray. When the disciples asked Jesus how to pray he answered them to be praying in this way:

"Our Father, Who is in the heavens: Your name must at once be made holy;" This translation is closer to the real meaning in Greek.

The first thing that we must pray is that Father's name is made holy, or honored as holy. Today, is Father honored or dishonored among His people? I shamefully say the later. To honor the Father's name is more than just words, it's living. I hear this "prayer" prayed so much, but in a religious way and those who pray it often are among the first to dishonor God in their living.

Is is an honor to Father to hold grudges? Is it an honor to Father to harbor unforgiveness in our hearts? Is it an honor to Father to complain, murmur, curse others, vindicate the self, succumb to sickness, live off of anti-depressants, borrow ourselves into oblivion and such things as these? There is no honor here, yet many so-called Christians live just like the unbelievers giving Father no honor or glory. We respond to crisis just like the unbeliever. When we need something, do we pray to God, believing we have received or run to Visa or Mastercard? When we are ill, do you run to the doctor or medicine cabinet first? I am all for doctors, but they are not our first line of defense against sickness...Jesus is! When we are depressed, what do we reach for? The bottle? Some drug? What happen to coming to our Source for what we need? What happened to declaring God's word?

No wonder Jesus addressed the Father's name being honored as holy! The religious leaders of His time did not honor God, but rather dishonored Him. Until the Father's honor is addressed in our lives, we can forget the rest of the prayer!

My prayer daily is that Father's name would be honored as holy in my life and in the life of His elect. It is high time we, as believers, restore Father's honor by living according to His word and demonstrating that what He promised is true.

Many Christians make God look like a liar and irrelevant in their lives. They claim salvation but live lives that do not demonstrate that salvation is present with them. They walk as the unbelievers walk in the vanity of their minds instead of by the Spirit residing within them. They live in worry, doubt, and fear and the result is an unholy living and mockery to the Name of our Father!

Saint's ARISE! NO MORE EXCUSES! Take your stand! Bring honor to YOUR Father by repenting and allowing God rule in your live. Let Him be magnified in and through you. Believe and TRUST in His word. This is the only way to truly honor Father as holy. This is the first thing that was on Jesus' mind when He was instructing His disciples on HOW to pray and it must be the first thing on our mind as well.

May our Father be honor as holy among His people...all His people from this day forward.

The Gospel We Should Be Preaching

The reason so many are not affected by our message is because we use the Bible as a telepromter, teaching ineffectively because God's word is not real to us.

We say "Peace," but do we have it? We say "More than enough" but do we have it? We say "Joy" but are we living it? Rather many Christians are sick because of worry, doubt, & fear. What is the difference between the beliver and unbeliever? The message of the Bible needs to come off the pages of The Book and get into our fibers until we manifest what it says in real life. That is the Good News people need to see and hear.

People are looking for answers. The reason so many followed Jesus is because he had answers. He brought Heaven to Earth giving each person who came to Him exactly what He or she needed. We are to do the same. Our gospel must include demonstrations of spirit and power. Our gospel must convey miracles, signs, and wonders, not just words. Don't get me wrong, words are important, but they MUST have power.

People are sick, diseased, hopeless, and needy. Every born-from-above believer should be able to bring Heavens blessing into the Earth realm. Now that is the gospel Jesus preached and empowered us to do the same!

With You All Things Are Possible

A Lesson on Success-Three Things You Need to Succeed

I was in a Christian business persons meeting in New Albany, OH the other day and one of the speakers, Joe Grubbs, spoke of an experience that he had flying back from China.

The New Year was approaching and he wanted to hear from the Lord what to do for 2012 to succeed in his business. By the way, Joe owns JUST NAME IT, an embroidery, silkscreen and apparel printing shop here in Columbus. What the Lord told him is the same thing he has been telling me:

SEEING WHAT OTHERS DO NOT SEE. We have a tendency to get into a rut. We think the same things, say the same things, and thus SEE the same things. We miss out on so many opportunities because we lack insight to the true riches around us. God has a tendency to hide opportunity in plain sight because the enemy would never expect that. However, to see what others cannot see, we must partner with the Holy Spirit. We must be open to Him and let Him reveal what others are missing. Every great success story is an example of someone seeing what others cannot see.

HEARING WHAT OTHERS ARE NOT HEARING. If you can solve problems, you can become rich! There are two kinds of people in the world: Those with problems and those who solve them. Everyone has problems and on the hunt for someone with the answers to solve them. For tooth problems we seek a dentist. For plumbing problems we look for a plumber. The bigger the problem, the more potential money can be made. How do we know what problems people are facing? By LISTENING! Listen to conversations. Listen to what people are saying. Listen for the problem and then figure out a way to provide the solution. People are clamoring for answers! Become that answer!

DON'T EVER GIVE UP. The biggest problem I see today is that people give up way too easy. They dabble in this and toy with that, but never figure out what they want to do and go for it UNTIL! Stick to your guns! Stay with your vision and dreams. Don't stop pursuing the longing within you UNTIL YOU ACHIEVE IT. Don't be the gold miner who stopped just feet short of the biggest gold find in American history...only to leave it for the next person to take over and strike it rich. Determine what it is that you desire and go for it. Dream big and take action. You will get there is you do not give up.

These are the three things Joe taught us and the Spirit was speaking the same thing to me. Could this be your time, your year, to discover your destiny and walk under the blessings of the Most High? Ask the Lord for a spirit of wisdom and revelation. Ask Him for ears to hear. He will give you those things, but that last item is up to you. YOU must persevere and stay the course UNTIL.

It's Easier to Be a Slave

I know the title probably made you curious, but it is true. Look at the Children of Israel, when they finally were delivered from Egypt and on their way to the Good Land they complained about how hard it was as wanted to go back to Egypt and serve as slaves again. Why? Because it IS easier to be a slave.

As a slave, you don't have to think or worry. You just get up each day and do your duty and you will have some provision by your master...enough to keep you alive so you can go out the next day and repeat the same thing over and over again. There is NO RISK in being a slave. There are no worries, just mundane duty.

But God had bigger plans for them. He wanted to give them a land FLOWING with milk and honey. He wanted to give them a land filled with natural resources, built houses, and planted fields. He wanted them to experience freedom and abundance. Because only in this freedom and abundance could God be glorified among His people. God wants to show off his GOODNESS to His people!

What is the problem you may ask? The problem is, God's calling for you is to take possession of riches that belong to someone else. This someone else is satan and his army of evil spirits. In the O.T. is was the "ites" but they were a picture of satan and his army. The territory God wants to give His people is in the hands of the enemy and the only way to get it from him is to TAKE POSSESSION of it! What? You mean we have to go in there, we grasshoppers, and fight against satan and his evil forces? Yep, that's what I mean!

That is a scary proposition isn't it? However it is exactly what every Christian MUST do. You see, God's promises are in enemy territory and you and I have to take it! How on earth are we to do that? We will do it by the Spirit of God and the Word of God. We will speak by the Spirit the Word of God and defeat the enemy. This will take faith and courage, but we have no choice unless we want to remain a slave.

Which is better, a slaves life with no real concerns. Everything is spelled out and you know your duty OR be free and go into the enemies territory and take the riches that God has already delivered over to you. All you have to do it go get it! But that takes effort. That takes living in union with God and listening to His voice and obeying His command. That takes trusting His word. But, hey, the victory IS promised and God promised to deliver EVERY enemy we face into our hand. He gave us His life and we have His authority. We must raise up and take what God has ordained for us!

Is is hard? Yes! Is it challenging? Yes! Is it worth it? YES! Don't be content with being a slave. Take God at His word, go TAKE BY FORCE the Kingdom He has promised you. Don't sit back and remain in slavery to fear. Go get what God promised for He will be with you!

To Have More You Must Become More

Dean Radtke once said, "It will only get worse, you must get better." No one really wants to hear this, but it's true. The sad part is when things get worse, so do most people! People have a tendency to do whatever it takes to avoid being stretched or pressured, but the avoidance of these things will lead to poverty in every way: spirit, soul, and body.

Many pray for God to bless them, but when the pressure and need to stretch come they cry like little babies. Here is the truth: If you want to grow. If you want to have more. If you want to proper. You have got to be stretched and have pressure applied to expand your capacity. If you were fine the way you were, you would already have every thing you every dreamed of. The problem is that you are not capable of receiving all the blessing you desire. You need to be stretched and pressured to BE more.

A rubberband is useless without being stretched. A tire with worthless without pressure. If you were in a plane at 35,000' and lost cabin pressure, you would be dead. A diamond was produced from coal under tremendous pressure. Pressure and stretching prepares you for future blessings. Again, if you want more, you must BECOME more.

When stretching and pressure come, from now on don't fight it, rather receive it. Pressure and stretching is an invitation from God to grow to receive your blessings.

Honoring His Name as Holy

As I was in the Father’s presence this morning I has an urge to write this and let it be known that it is time for God’s people to rise up and restore honor to the Father’s name.

God has been misrepresented among His people long enough! Most of God’s people live in sin and accept it as if it’s okay. What I mean by sin in not just what we call the “bad kind.” I am talking about the sin of prayerlessness, faithlessness, lack of trust in God & His word, unforgiveness, and lack of desire to know God through His word. I am talking about living as the nations in hopelessness, worry, doubt, and fear. I am taking about zero or little contrast between the believer and unbeliever. If we were tried as a Christian, would there be enough evidence to convict us?

Jesus taught his disciples to pray, “Father in Heaven, Your name be honored as holy.” We are to pray that God is honored on earth in our lives. That means that we do and live as Jesus did. He was the prototype of what we should be as children of God. He was the Father’s delight. He honored God every day of His life by living by the Spirit, hearing the Father’s voice, and carrying out what He saw the Father doing. He didn’t do this on His own power, but by the power of the Spirit. We must do the same. Jesus lived by EVERY WORD that came out of the mouth of God, we must and CAN do the same. The Father’s name can only be honored by living the life of Jesus on Earth. We too must become the Father’s delight!

Forget the excuses for we as believers have NONE. We have what Jesus had. He had no sin, but became sin for us and dealt the death-blow to the power of sin in our lives through His cross. So sin really shouldn’t be an issue to any true believer.

He became the life-giving Spirit and as such RESIDES in every born-again believer. He is living in us to live out His life just as He did while a man on earth, a life pleasing to the Father and expressing the Father’s desire to bring Heaven to Earth and manifest His goodness to all mankind.

So what is holding so many “Christian’s” back? Choice! The choice that Adam had in the garden is with us every single day. We can chose to honor God by living by the life and power of the Spirit or we can live in our fallen nature including our fallen thoughts and thus express what every other human being does on earth: Sin, worry, doubt, and fear. We can chose to medicate ourselves or seek to live the heavenly life on earth. What will it be? Honor God or dishonor Him by making excuses for our weakness instead of coming to Him in repentance and allowing His full access into our lives. It’s your choice, so chose well my fellow believer. Chose well.

I Decree the Blessing!

In an earlier post I made a video of the decrees that I am posting here. The reason I am doing this is so you can copy and adjust if you like. What comes out of our mouth can build up or tear down. What comes from our mouth gives life or death. We are all guilty of mis-speaking and even pronounces curses upon others, even ourselves! The only way to reverse the curse is to speak blessing. Good overcomes evil, light overcomes darkness EVERY TIME. So take time EACH DAY to speak the blessing over your life:


In Jesus’ name I decree that wisdom, understanding, and knowledge flow to me from Heaven above.

I decree good health in body, soul & spirit.

I decree that disease, sickness, and pain have no place in me or my family members.

I decree that I am at my perfect weight, feel great, and am filled with energy to carry out my God-given assignments. I will live long and prosper, filled with enthusiasm & hope.

I decree more than enough in provision and I live in abundance.

I decree that all my debt is paid!

I decree that my home is blessed and all who enter it will be blessed.

I decree safety and security for me and my family as we journey in this life.

I decree my angels are working on my behalf and for my good.

I decree boldness to speak as I ought to speak.

I decree that I am filled with confidence in the Lord and His word. My faith will not fail.

I decree that I trust the Lord, His goodness, and plans for me.

I decree that my businesses are blessed beyond what I can ask or think.

I decree ideas flow to me easily with wisdom, knowledge & creativity increasing every day.

I decree that the spirit of lack and poverty stay far away from me and my house.

I decree that goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life.

I decree that I have the heart of a servant and love for my fellow man.

I decree that I am a cheerful giver and have plenty to give on every occasion.

I decree that my relationships are strong, empowering, and beneficial to all.

I decree that I am a blessing to others and bring the Kingdom wherever I go.

I decree that I walk in divine favor with God and man.

I decree that in all things I have more than enough.

I decree the healing power of Jesus abides in me and I release it freely to others.

I decree that I walk in the supernatural, in signs and wonders manifesting Heaven on earth.

I decree that the blessings I speak are accomplished in Jesus’ name for His glory!

God's Way of Increase - The Good News!

What is Good News?

First off, we need to realize what news is. News is usually an historical event. GOOD news is a declaration that something good that actually happened that you can’t wait to tell others about. What is important to realize is that this good news HAS happened to you! If you want to experience lots of good news to share with others, YOU need to get the promises of God off the pages of the Bible and into your EXPERIENCE. It’s even good to share the Good News that has happened to others to demonstrate to the world just how good our God is! People want to hear Good News and quite frankly, God’s people are the only ones that really have it…or should!

God wants INCREASE! His way of increase is through YOU! He planted a seed in you and THAT seed, God’s Word, is meant to increase in you. The only thing you need to do is to make sure you have a good heart, and that is up to you. A good heart is a receiving heart, a heart that is broken and can easily receive the Word of God, possess it, and LET it do its work…the work of INCREASE!

Let’s take a look at increase in the Bible:

God spoke a blessing over Adam and Eve to be fruitful and multiply (increase) to fill the earth with THEIR kind and take dominion over ALL things on earth (Gen. 1:28)

After the flood, God blessed Noah to be fruitful and multiply and take dominion over ALL things. (Gen. 9:2-1)

God blessed Abraham with INCREASE. He blessed him with land and a seed that would multiply as the stars of Heaven and the sand of the sea. He promised that His seed would be blessed and become a blessing to all the nations of the earth. (Gen. 12:1-3; 13:14-17; 15:1-5; 17;1-8)

Jesus, the promised seed of Abraham, through whom all the nations would be blessed, blessed His disciples as He ascended to Heaven, to GO to all the nations and make disciples of them beginning from Jerusalem. Jesus was in essence saying, “Be fruitful and multiply to spread my Kingdom with its blessings over all the earth. Plant the seed of the Good News and it will spread over all the earth.” This spread of Good New brings glory to God!

Jesus, in John 15 gave a mandate that we MUST bear fruit (John 15:5-6).

As a matter of fact, most of Jesus’ ministry and the parables that He spoke had to do with INCREASE!

The Gospel is our witness. We are witnesses to the exploits of God! We should be eyewitnesses of His glorious, Heavenly deeds ON EARTH. A witness is one who had to be at the scene of an event to be able to give credible testimony as to what happened. Does your life exhibit such evidence?

God is glorified when we INCREASE, multiply and bear fruit (John 15:8) and our fruit if PROOF that we are His disciples.

God ALWAYS has INCREASE on His mind. He is the God of Increase and abundance. He is always looking for increase and profit for it is though increase and abundance that He is glorified. He longs for His goodness to be testified to and His Kingdom to expand and take over all the earth. It is our responsibility to cooperate with Him to make this happen. Thus the need to preach the Gospel…The GOOD NEWS!

Embrace Pressure!

If you desire to grow, to have more of anything in life, expect something that most people try to avoid, it's called pressure. Without more pressure you will stay the way you are until to die! When pressure comes, don't do what most people do trying to avoid it, rather embrace pressure for it is the only way to grow and have increase and abundance in your life. Be willing to stretch, learn, and do more. Pressure IS a good thing....stop trying to avoid it!

What You Say Matters
