Are You Protected?

This morning when I turned on my computer, I read a notice from my virus software. It was a monthly report highlighting how many “threats” were made against my computer in the last 30 days. I also received a report of how my software actually detected and blocked an “intruder”.
Imagine that?

We’re in an age when our computers can actually fight for us. While I was sleeping, cooking, reading, writing or spending time with my family, my virus software was actually “working on my behalf”.  However, in order for the “protection software” to work, I had to purchase it and activate it.
When it comes to our walk with Christ, Jesus purchased the software through His shed blood.

Unfortunately, many of us fall prey to the “INTRUDER’S “ attacks on us without ever activating our software, which is the word of God.  Make a decision today to never let the enemy intrude and destroy you and your family. You have everything you need to fight. So fight!

After the Prophecy

Billy Alexander

Receiving prophetic words from God through people is a powerful experience.

It has happened to me a few times in my life. I’ve always felt rather excited or even anxious to know what’s next. Recently when someone prophesied over me it was during a rather difficult time, but I knew the person heard from God. I was excited to get a confirmation on something I’ve heard for years.

However, I couldn’t help but wonder… when God when.. come on God let’s speed this thing up? Am I the only one who feels that way?

Gotta stay close… to Him!

I must admit something.

I have to stay close to the Lord in order to function. It may sound silly and even elementary to mature Christians.  But it’s true.  Staying close to God is really life support for me.  Anytime, I don’t have constant, consistent, intense fellowship with the Lord, I lose focus. My prayer everyday is to stay close to God. Enjoy the video and stay close to Him!

The Power of Redundancy

Last week, I read an interesting passage in a book that talked about the importance of repeating spiritual patterns for long term victory. I loved that. Often times as Christians, we believe we need fireworks from Heaven to solidify our walk of faith.

However, that’s not true. We need a daily consistent, diet of God and His word in order to live a victorious life. Consider this: Spending 30 minutes a day with God is actually 10,950 minutes a year in His presence. What could happen to you if you invested that time? Think about it…

And the winner is…. last place!

“He sat down and summoned the Twelve. “So you want first place? Then take the last place. Be the servant of all.” (Mark 9:35 The Message)

 I was awestruck while reading this passage. It’s clear and concise. No ambiguity. No interpretation needed. No bible dictionary or lexicons needed. It’s plain and simple. If you want to be first, then take the back seat. Allow yourself to be used by God and put others first. I know it can be hard because we’re human and we want “our stuff”. 

However, God’s word is clear. Let’s move over… go to the back and let God work.  The journey continues…
