Hi Friend;
One of the things that have prospered my ministry is staying transparent before the Lord and one way outwardly of showing this is being transpareHt to a certain extent to the people of God. Which brings me to the reason for this blog.
Many do not know this but burglar(s) broke into my home this week, making off with computers, other electronics, precious jewels, Christmas gifts, cash, sentimental goods and and other valuables in the break of DAYLIGHT, imagine the boldness of these meddlers as they went into a place that is intimate and private for myself and famiLy and it changes in a matter of seconds.
When something like this happens it has a result of leaving a person feeling molested, vulnerable, helpless and despair. The bible says this is the enemies doing, '...thief only comes to steal, kill and destroy' but God has promised that He came to tear down the after effects of the forces of darkness and give those that are dead, life. When someone violates your home that in itself can kill something in you and make you feel dead/lifeless. And this is what the devil thought he was going to do kill our joy, steal our peace and destroy our newfound life in Christ.
I will be sharing testimonies on the ministries online radio broadcast segment 'The thief come to...' and my reaction to what happen. Join me today @ 2pm CST on www.blogtalkradio.com/executiveoffaithradio (The show had technical difficulties for the 2pm cst show, if you tried to tune in. We will re-air at 10pm cst. TONIGHT!)
I will share this my natural reaction that was warring in me inwardly was saying, go to the block and get the boys to handle that business for you, get you a piece from the hood and set them up to come again, all these things raced through my head stalking from fear. (Some of you may not be able to handle this but for the rest of you can I be transparnet here???) The word of the Lord says God has not given us the spirit of fear but POWER, LOVE and A SOUND MIND!
Outside I was making righteous decison while inside WORLD WAR III was going on. lol I do not want you to think I am some super human I am have the same like affections as the next man. However, when I gave my live to the Lord a transformation did take place and that transformation is called the new man. In this new man by the Christ of God old things have passed away and BEHOLD all things have become brand new in me. So the things I would have natural done in the flesh my new man demanded of me to walk in the spirit in doing that not fulfilling the lust of the flesh of what I was feeling.
VENGENANCE IS NOT MINE SAITH THE LORD! And that was is still is the thing that tries to consume me. I came from a background of doing things my way and walking with the Lord is about yielding which is the last thing right now my flesh is trying to do. But I continue to put the word on this flesh according to
2 Corinthians 10:3-5 (King James Version)
3For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: 4(For the weapons of our warfare are NOT carnal, but (the weapons of our warfare are) mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Note: This is not a war that we fight with the flesh but these things we are commanded to war in the spirit of God 5Casting down imaginations (those devious thoughts that come to mind from the old man and the devil) , and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God (does not line up to the word of God/ bear record to the Holy spirit in you), and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; ) MAKE IT SUBMIT!
Even when it does not want too. My my!!! lol) Whew!!!
I know this may seem like a hard thing to do but even though I am in the mist of a like instance. It is really easy even when it looks hard. It is just an act of obedience that comes through faith. It is not because I see it or even know how this will work out it is because I just simply choose to believe God.
Yes it is the desire of the enemy to have me go into fear, hate, or lose my sense of making righteous decison. However, when I heard the break in, I was surprisingly to many very calm in my posture. What they did not know was God had prepared me for such a time as this (yes I love this quote.)
Even in the beginning of the year the Lord used me to prophesied that the devil is mad because in 2007 when he was trying to shake the saints, YET they remained. And the Lord shared with me that this year he is going to send strong demonic influence in 2008 to start war with saints, I told the saints of God this is not the time to be slack or slumbered. But to be watchful and alert in this season; because the enemy would have it that they miss this season God is bringing them into. In the teaching that went along with the blog the Lord gave me the solution to the listeners to develop their knowledge of Christ to conteract the enemies devices.

The Lord with His gracious self followed up with this teaching and gave me a word entitled 'The Trial of Faith' http://www.blogtalkradio.com/executiveoffaithradio/2008/02/23/the-trial-of-faith you can go to in your own devotional. This message was a right now message when it seem as if I could not see my way out. You see friend, at times when divers temptation pop their ugly head up, it is common for the elect of God to give up on God by denying the faith. In this teaching I set the record straight about what real faith is and why it is so relevant to God's plan of salvation. This message changed MY LIFE and I am the one that preached it. haha I truly know something greater in me LIVES in me. There is not way I would of known this of myself. ***Smile***
This blog is getting lengthy so I will share a part two this this... stay tune!
