Nothing Impossible in Prayer

We believe that the Gifts of God are irrevocable and that the same power gifted to the men Jesus spoke to is available today for those who will.

That being said:

Panola County Jail Services

Boy! Today was something else!  
We were called upon by some friends of ours to cover the PCDC Jail services for today and it couldn't have been more on time. The Word of the Lord came from Joshua 7&8 and repentance in its truest form was preached as the Spirit of God imparted understanding to two services of men.
In ch 7 a man is holding on to something he likes that's accursed. We posed the question "what is it your keeping back from surrender to God?". Then the Lord led them to search much like Joshua did, throughly, to find that sin that besets easily!  In chapter 8 the Lord called them to attacking the city once proclaiming surrender of that accursed thing and not only taking more ground in their salvation's Promised Land but killing the ruler of that city too!  
It came together differently in each service: One with Abraham's obedience at Miriah and the other Gomer being purchased by her husband - but in the end the Word was imparted, repent, keep rank, do not be of double heart! In Jesus' name!

Be blessed!

You mean "always" always?

"Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."

 II Thes 5:16-18 KJV


     How we spend our time in life makes the difference.  The days are passing moment by moment and our life script is being recorded in indelible ink by the very finger of God Almighty.  "Consider the ant..." the Proverb instructs us, consider the ant indeed...


It seems to me that one little ant all alone carrying a grain of sand doesn't constitute much of a threat to humanity, but that's not the only grain he's going to tote!  Fire ants were introduced to the US in the 30's. Little biting critters in the Ports of Alabama and today that little grain of sand has expanded their territory to cover over 1/2 the United States! 

That being said, considering the ant, every thought is as a grain of sand, every moment is a placement or displacement of the ground we're standing on. 

The Word tells us to REJOICE ALWAYS, always is a lot of time and a lot of that time we're disobedient to that command and in doing so we lament, regret, grieve and weep instead!  

To PRAY WITHOUT CEASING is cited: how hard do we struggle to find 2 1/2 hours with God a day in this age?  Even if we mumble "Lord Jesus, guide me." every 15 minutes that's still disobedience!  

GIVE THANKS IN ALL CIRCUMSTANCES: are you thankful reading this right now?  

All of this to prove that man can't do it and if it's to be done that God must! 

This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.   Galatians 5

 "Walking in the Spirit" is, I believe, what Jesus was doing when He said, "even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.". and it is what we are commanded to do:

God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.   John 4

 Part of our recovery program teaches that we must "turn over our will and our life to Jesus Christ".  It is a teaching on submission.  If we get turned around and start focusing on submitting one to another it gets hard but when we focus on submitting to God and get THAT right the "one another" part comes naturally as that battle is fought and won at the cross rather than on this battlefield called "one another".   There is more here to dig into but another time perhaps.  We'll leave you with this:  You can walk in the anointing of God

Calling Mighty Men of Valour - Update w/video

Today in reading I Chronicles 12 the Lord began to reveal to us that the "members of the ekklesia, the church, have been literally "called out" of the world in order to live free of its dictates and to belong fully, at every moment, to God and to one another" AND that during this new season that the Lord is calling the warriors to the lines stronger than ever before.
It is time to stand up and say "Thine are we, David..." (12:18) or discount the move of God in sending the King "away, saying, He will fall to his master Saul to the jeopardy of our heads." (12:19)

It is time to choose who you'll serve and stick to that without wavering!

 Joshua was told to be strong and of good courage and when the Lord provided a headship over millions of Israel, Israel herself said, "We'll follow you, only be strong and of good courage."!

     This is being exemplified within our local body here in Carthage and abroad in many many forms.

     Are you a part of this coming together or are you gambling that you will be okay and that there is time to wait? I'm telling you today that if you are not praying regularly and digesting the Word of God daily then you are far behind. We need to be walking and applying scripture to each step we take and it's past the time to walk around with open Bibles not paying attention to our steps. The Word within you MUST come forth and in Power! It is time, Saint, to deploy the seed you've been given, it is time new believer to eat and eat and serve and serve as you go to grow into a MIGHTY MAN/WOMAN OF VALOUR! David's crew was said to be "expert in war, with all instruments of war...which could keep rank: they were not of double heart." Where are you my dear believer? Have you fallen for the lie that it's alright to straddle the fence? Let me reveal to you today the scope of that lie: THERE is no fence. If you have even began to identify the line between good and evil you're already headed in the wrong direction! FOCUS and turn your face to Jesus today and never look back!

     Are you receiving this? Can you hear the tone in our typed words and the severity and desperation of the plea we make today? It is time! It is happening now! Are you a part of it?

 "All these men of war, that could keep rank, came with a perfect heart to Hebron, to make David king over all Israel: and all the rest also of Israel were of one heart to make David king." (12:38) Christ (Whom David typifies here) IS KING and the question remains, "Who will you serve?" We love you and today we call you to service in Jesus' name

Will your harvest come from non-believer kindness?

     I believe that we'd all like to believe in humanity as a people but then it smacks me in the face that left to ourselves we'd revert to bludgeoning one another in the head with clubs.  The Word of God tells us that we are to love one another and that instruction is purposeful.  There is no instruction that I've found for us to love ourselves... obviously, we have that one covered.  Cynicism aside, we all struggle to bring the flesh into subjection to the Spirit if the Lord Jesus is our Lord and Savior.  It is something that we all aspire to, this "being Christ-like" and it is a wonderful thing to see others grow into His likeness.  It is also VERY encouraging to hear that you've grown from someones perspective.  But, what about non-believers?  Can they be kind and love others?  Can they be "Christ-like" without Christ? 
     After reading a blog post today I sat in my office and cried a little:  Someone has taken the time to put together content in a blog that shows acts of love, one for another, in this world in a way that just makes sense, naturally.  It's not performed, it's not staged, it's not "hold on, do that again for the camera!" stuff, but moments.  These moments are people being good people for no real measurable gain.  I don't know that these men, women, and children were all non-believers but I do know that some of them were.  How does this kindness speak?  What does it say?   There's no mention of Jesus, no religious form to it, just an act of kindness or a gift from the heart given.
     What are we doing as believers to act like this?  How is Christ's image being portrayed in your life today?  If we are, and WE ARE, in His image and don't do what He did then we're showing others that Jesus isn't Who He is but something else entirely.  We must become the examples of kindness and love.  We have to become the catalyst for change if a lasting change is to be made.
     Today, stop someone with a grimace and ask if you can pray for them. 

Officer joins prayer unexpectedly...

Tell them that you love Jesus and that Jesus has provided relief and peace for them and ask them if they need or want some of that.  We yelled across a parking lot just the other day to a young man sitting on the curb, "Hey bro! We got coffee, cookies, and some Jesus in here if you want some!" and he laughed and came for the coffee, left with Jesus!  Amazing opportunities await you today.  Relationships that last a lifetime are connected in these moments.  We call you today to service.  We love you
