I was sitting on the patio last evening at just about dusk. It was a lovely evening. As I was sitting there I heard two birds singing. They seemed to be almost talking back and forth it was beautiful. Out of the hundreds of birds that are in and out of our yard every day only two remained and shared their voice's at the end of the day.
There are millions of birds but only two sang making it a memorable evening. Would I have still sat on the patio if the birds were not singing? Yes. Would the sun continued to set? Yes but something beautiful would have been missing.
It reminded me of you and I and how our voices need to be heard. I believe we are heading for the evening of this world. There are millions of people sitting and waiting not realizing what they are missing. What they are needing to turn an ordinary night into an extraordinary one.
Allow the light of God to come through you in an amazing way. Don't be afraid to speak, to share your heart, your voice and make the world a very special place. Your voice may be the one to restore hope and beauty into a life that is torn and bleeding. There isn't anyone like you. God wants to use you in an incredible way. Share the love of Jesus the world is waiting.
"And now abide faith, hope, love these three; but the greatest of these is love."
Until We Meet Again.....God Bless

Start Your Engines
There is a movement a stirring in the atmosphere. I have had to stop many times last night and today and listen. The atmosphere is charged. It's almost like things are being put into position. A great transition is about to happen. I believe it is going to be the biggest outpouring we have ever witnessed. Get Ready! Get Ready! Get Ready!
I don't know about you but my antennas are up and I am majorly expecting. All frequencies are wide open. I'm listening God! I'm looking! There is such an excitement growing. It's like God has said no more! My power is greater then anything. Greater then your fear, greater then your sadness, greater then your sickness and pain. Dare to believe...Dare to expect...take the blinders off, take the earplugs out, clean off your glasses and see the salvation of the Lord!!!
Everybody start your engines! I believe we start our engines by stepping out in prayer believing. Even if it is only the size of a mustard seed God said He could do great things with it. Faith can move mountains! Blind eyes will see! Deaf ears will hear! Marriages will be restored! The sick will recover! Your finances will be reclaimed by God and all of this and more will be restored to you!
I'm daring to believe. I am expecting because it's here now and I intend to reach out and claim it all in the name of Jesus. Are you with me!! Feel the power of the Lord as it explodes in the atmosphere. There has never been such a time as this don't miss it. Look up and believe for what God has set in motion no man can stop. Today is the day. Today is the beginning of the greatest adventure of your life. Today is for you. Reach out and dare to believe.

An Heir
Brace yourself I'm not crazy, well no crazier then anyone else. (:0) I guess God is using another avenue to get my attention. I wanted to share it with you. Right before I woke up yesterday morning I heard something I thought was so profound. This is what I heard, "As an heir it is not what you are willing to give up or not give up it's what you are willing to do."
I thought, that's awesome. I mean if someone leaves us a fortune in their will and we are not willing to take it we could live the rest of our days as paupers when we actually could be living as kings.
I realized this is what happens when we aren't willing to accept all that God has for us. It's all there waiting for us if we will just step up and take it but how many of us live way below our potential because we don't step up.
God is looking for people to work through. People who know the truth of who they really are, "Joint Heirs with Christ." Are you bored? Weary from the battle? Ready for some adventure? I dare you to come a little closer. Step up and accept all that God has for you. You can change the world and turn it on its ear. The impact will be like a ripple affect sending shock waves across the globe. You will see the life that God intended you to live created before your very eyes, as you accept and walk in the promises of God.
God is waking me out of a long slumber. The slumber we are lured into by this world and the battle it takes to live it. It dulls our senses keeping us away from the truth. It's time to wake up and step up and be who we are in Christ. Today I choose to be a child of God in every area of my life. I will not be any less then who I am in Christ.
No more will I live in fear and dread. I will be strong and courageous. I will look for the best and expect the best for myself and all those I love. My hands are extended as God places in them all that He has predestined for me from the beginning. My heart is full, my step is light, and my confidence is high, because today I step up and take my rightful place.

You Are What You Speak
You've heard people say you are what you eat well my philosophy is you are what you speak.
I spoke to a person this week that really got me thinking. This person went on and on about how sick they were naming all their illness's. How they had been sick for several years and they couldn't seem to figure it out.
I realized this person was destroying themselves. They were consumed by how they felt. They didn't have one positive word to say about their self until I added a few of my own. Their mind had become a gun and their words the bullets.
I don't say this lightly. I've went through the same thing but it was only after I stopped talking about how I felt and began talking positive that my world began to change.
I remember the old saying, "sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me." Actually that's a crock. (:0) Yes sticks and stones will break our bones but words can destroy our soul which in turn will destroy our body.
What we think comes out in our attitude and our words. What we speak happens. It's like a self fullfilled prophesy. I don't mean this to sound crazy like if I go out and say to my old 1999 Grand Am start and it will start but we first think it and then we do it. I'm thinking I need to go out and start my car and then I go and use the key to start it.
What happens to the person who is told all their life they are dumb or ugly? Even though that may not be true it gets embedded into them. Just as the person who is told they are smart and beautiful.
We can make a life or break a life with our words. It's time to take some serious consideration as to what we are thinking and saying each day.
We need to remember the example of our Father. He spoke the world into existence. He used His words to create life. We too can speak our world into existence and create a better life.
God tells us to think about things that are good and pure. He told us that because He knew it would nurture our souls. In turn we would be happier and healthier... Creating change in the world around us.
I don't know about you but I'm tired of all the negativity in this world. I certainly don't want to add to the pile any longer. The darkness in this world is up to our necks. We are mired in it but we can still speak. When we speak out all the things God told us to think on I know the darkness will begin to recede. We will slowly be free and able to walk in the light.
And as I've told you many times I'm all for the light. How about you? (:0)

It Is Here
I believe we are living in the greatest time that man has ever seen. I am expecting to see things that will astound us. God is pouring out an anointing on his people. It is time to gather together like never before to pray like never before for our family... our friends.. our pastors... our country... the world.
God is still on the throne people...You want to change nations and shake up the world? Then I encourage you to gather together and pray. Whether it's on your lunch hour in the quietness of your cars or office, in your living rooms, or at your church alters, "Pray!"
I've been praying this morning and one thing God has chosen to show me is that people have not changed. The core of who we are is the same today as it was from the beginning. Our surroundings have changed. Technology has changed. We have cars, cell phones and computers to name a few but we as people are still the same.
We all get afraid, we get happy and sad. We get tired and sick. We get discouraged and depressed. Sometimes our faith is strong, sometimes it's weak. Sometimes we are filled with such love, sometimes we are angry and filled with bitterness. These are the same feelings since the fall of man.
I don't know about you but I am personally at a place where it is a constant battle to do and be what I know is right. It is getting harder and harder to live in this world. This is why we have to strengthen our prayer muscles. We have to grab hold of the truth like a pit bull and not let go know matter what happens.
Don't isolate yourself know matter what you may be going through. Share it with God and find at least one other person to share it with and to pray with you. I know this can sometimes be hard. Allowing someone to see us for who we really are is never easy. The enemy delights in keeping us isolated. He feels the more alone we are the quicker our light will go out, our faith will diminish and we will not complete our journey.
When I talk about alone, you may be in a crowd of people from morning until night but still be alone. You continue to be what everyone expects but on the inside you are screaming that someone see's you for who you really are and what you are really going through.
I know there are tons of untapped resources and talents in the hearts of Gods people. Don't be afraid to step out even if you think it appears to be small. Your reaching out could be the catalyst that is needed to start something so great that it could change the world and end up helping millions of people. You never know you may be standing next to someone who has your answer.
It's a new day. We have never been here before. The latter rain is falling. Trust yourself enough not to be afraid anymore, not to miss your moment, your time. This coming Resurrection Sunday may some old dreams come to light and may your heart be renewed with hope. Remember God did all of this for you and He is the same yesterday, today and forever.
"For God so loved the world He gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life."

Hope
This has been another hard week for me. I have been sick all week. Plus some other trials I won't mention but one thing I know for sure God has been with me through it all.
Hope fills my heart as I write this tonight. Hope is the energy that fuels the flame in me to keep going one more day. Hope says maybe tomorrow I'll get to where I need to be. Maybe tomorrow I'll see my dream birthed and in my hand. Maybe tomorrow when I round that bend I will run right into my answer.
I know I've been down lately. I have been very tired and now I have been sick but the good thing is when I get this low God always shows up stronger then ever. I think it's because I run out of my own strength. I have no more energy to try to control my life or the situation. If He doesn't show up there will be no more hope, not one more step. He loves to show up. He loves reaffirming that He is everything He said He is.
Just as we love reaching out to our children when they are in need, so much more does God love reaching out to us. He is a shoulder to cry on, a hand to hold, a listening ear, a friend, a father, as well as, a loving savior.
I have gotten upset many times because I would talk and talk to God but I still felt all alone. I thought if I could see Him I wouldn't be so lonely. This week I realized if I could see Him like I see you and me He couldn't be with me like He is now. I couldn't hide under the shadow of His wings. I couldn't feel Him in my heart or hear Him whispering in my ear.
I don't know about you but sometimes it takes almost a lifetime for something to get embedded in my heart. I may repeat it a million times before I really see it. When I finally get that "AHA, moment" and realize, "Oh that's what He meant." All this time I have been wanting him to be something He is not. And this week I finally realized I'm so grateful He is not what I wished He would be but He is who He is.
How I love him. He absorbs every pore of my being. He is in every thought and every breath. He leaves Himself behind every time I reach out and touch someone. He leaves his footprints behind every time I walk out in faith. His voice is heard and touches the soul of everyone I try to console or love. And what is so amazing is that it's not just through me but through each one of us.
We leave Him everywhere. We leave the scent of His being, of who He really is, by giving our life to Him and then living it everyday. It doesn't matter what our talent is or our job. It doesn't matter if we are male or female or what our age happens to be because we each have our own personal walk with Him. He will use each one of us if we let Him.
I can live without a lot of things in this life but I can not live without the hope that God breathes into me everyday. I can't live with out Him.
Open yourself up to Him and hold on with everything you've got because He is holding on to you.
Until we meet again. God Bless

The Possibility Maker
What a week I've had. Why is it when you think you are doing everything right everything goes wrong. Doors slam in your face. People treat you badly. Your car breaks down. You get sick. You make one mistake after another at work. Do you know even the batteries died in my blood pressure monitor. What's that tellin' me. Whoa!! I'm not even going there. I'm not ready to leave just yet. I'm ticked but the ticker is still working.
Well I've come to the conclusion, I must be doing something exactly right if I wasn't the enemy wouldn't be working overtime to make my life miserable.
I don't have all the answers to days like these but I know we have to hang on with everything we've got. I believe when we have these days it means our breakthrough is very close and the enemy knows it. He knows once we get that break through there will be no stopping us.
I heard a preacher say once that the farther God stretches you the further you will fly when he lets you go. I think I should be a billionaire and land somewhere in the Middle East or in Gods lap depending on which direction I fly when he lets me go. (:0)
Everything I do is wrapped around God. Everything I say everywhere I go all my talent and knowledge, everything is his. I can't remember a time when it hasn't been this way but I'm going to be honest I am growing weary. I really need a breakthrough. I need to see some of the dreams God has placed in my heart come to pass not only for me but for my family and for you.
I need a refill. I've kept my cup. I have no intentions of throwing it away but it's getting empty. We give so much of ourselves and sometimes we just need a refill.
That's where I'm at right now. I need to be around a lot of people pouring into my life for a season. Believing in my dreams and the vision God has put in my life. I'm dry and dusty. My feet need washed and I need a few loaves and fishes so I can feed thousands.
When I began this blog I was on a quest to find me. Well as I've told you before to find me I need to help more of you. I need your help. I need your prayers, I need you to listen to what God is placing on your hearts and I need you to follow your dreams.
We've all got to work harder at letting our lights shine. Now don't get me wrong I know we've all been trying but we have to push through the pain. Like a runner pushing through that invisible wall he hits. And like a runner sometimes we need a crowd to cheer us on so we will keep our eyes on the prize.
We have to be driven. We know that with God all things are possible. In the natural it may not look that way but we serve a God who loves to take the seemingly impossible and make it a reality. So invest in a future with dividends. That's what I'm banking on, "God The Possibility Maker."
Until we meet again. God Bless.
