Jesus Heals Today

Friends,

I absolutely believe that Jesus Heals Today! I guess I have to believe that since I'd probably be dead right now if He didn't. As a child I had so many things wrong with me that the doctor told my mom that I probably wouldn't last till I was 13. Thank God I got saved when I was 11. Looking back I realized all those sickness and diseases stopped when I got saved. Thank you Lord!

The Word of God is so full of promises of His healing power and He purchased it already for us.

One of my favorite verses for healing is 

Matthew 6:10  

your kingdom come,
your will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.

There is no sickness in heaven, because it's not God's will.

Jesus told us to pray that God's will be done on earth just like that.

I honor my Father's will. I pray for healing for people.

Thank God for His mercy and grace, and thank God for His healing power.

We've seen it so many times.

Love y'all

Switching Over To Faith

Hey Friends,

The other day I found myself worrying about something that I had prayed about. I don't like to worry. It makes me very uncomfortable. So I sat there thinking "I've got to lock my faith in on this." So, I made a decision: 

• God's Word is true and 
• All His promises are ours by faith. 
• Faith is the evidence of things not seen. 
• Faith is also a rest. 
  
• I decided to believe God and let my heart rest.

After I did this, I really felt peace. 

Since then the situation I was worrying/praying about has worked out beautifully and God's hand was really evident in it.

I love the Lord.

I love hearing His voice and trusting in Him.

Blessings,

Joe

Elevate The Good, It Overcomes The Darkness

Hey Friends,

Here's a quote from my journal:

If we give birth to godly visions

and maintain them with godly life and wisdom

the coming darkness will not overcome.

Friends, if God has given you something to do; do it! Being normal and going with the flow is not going to help or save anybody. If God has given you a vision then you need to step out of line. You'll become abnormal, you'll stick out. But if you don't then the answer  you'd bring to help others won't come.

I love what my pastor, Bill Winston, says, 

"The reason so many people are dying in this world 

is because others have not come into 

their full potential."

My Friend,

What light are you supposed to bring so others don't perish in the darkness?

I'm supposed to bring forth Jesus, His character, His love.

God bless you today.

Vision Is A Gift From God

Hey Friends,

I found this word the Lord spoke to me a few years before I became a pastor, I thought it might help you today:

Vision is a gift from God.

It becomes an authority that you submit to.

At this time submit to the vision of those in authority over you.

At the proper time you will be assigned a vision. You will be the bearer, the steward of that vision. But for now be a steward of the vision I have given to those in authority over you.

Your faithfulness will prove your trustworthiness.

When you are faithful it proves to me safety for my vision that I will impart.

When you hand your baby to someone they must be trustworthy or you will not release care of your baby, even for a moment for them to hold it. So it is with you; I will not release care of my vision to you until I see your maturity; until I see you caring for what I've assigned you for now.

I hope that word helped you, it did me.

God bless you Friends,

Joe

Your Word

Hey Friends,

I love the Word of God. 

It helps me so much. 

Here's an entry from my journal about that.

Lord, Your Word

cleanses me

trims me clean

hones me

builds me up

holds me together

guides me

instructs me

encourages me

fills me

reveals the truth to me

reveals You to me

gives me faith

makes me knowledgeable, wise & understanding

Your Word gives health to my body

and nourishment to my bones

Your Word is 

Jesus the Logos (John 1)

Your Word is

 the Holy Spirit the Rhema (Eph. 6)

Your Word is exalted above your name

It gives me all the instruction and promises I need 

to live a glorious, productive and victorious life. 

Thank You Lord, for your Word!

God bless you my friends,

Joe

The Best Story On Leadership I've Ever Heard

Hey Friends,

I've been teaching on Leadership at our church's leader's meetings. 

Check this out:

   When my sister, Connie, was in high school, one day the teacher walks in and says,
     "Today, we are going to talk about leadership. But first, I want everyone in this room
     who thinks they are a follower to get up and stand on the left side of the room.
     Everyone who thinks they are a leader, get up and stand on the right side of the room."

   So all of the kids, trying to be humble or something,
     got up and stood on the follower side of the room. 

   Nobody stood on the leader's side.

   My sister, standing in that follower line looked around and said, "Well, I guess I'm a leader."
   and she walked over to the leader's side of the room. 

   After she did this..... 

              everyone followed her!

Remember my friends:

To be a leader, 

• you have to be going somewhere
  
• you have to provide enough influence for them to leave their status quo

People want a better life and won't follow you unless you can better their position.

Lead On My Friends

Blessings,

Joe
