"Those things which ye have both learned and received and heard and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you."     - Philippians 4:9 KJV  Dear Friends,  The gospel song God is Preparing Me  was a very popular one some years ago.  One of my favorite lines in the song is: "He is preparing me for the next matter in my life." For every assignment God has for our life he provides a season of preparation.  Sometimes this season may take place over many years or we may get a crash course.  However, the one constant is the manual, the reference guide needed to sustain us. It never changes.  This is true no matter who you are or what you have been assigned to do in the Lord's kingdom. The manual is the Word of God. This guide is our policy manual, our human resources guide, our repair manual. God has covered everything. He is Our Bottom Line. He is Our Sustainer. He is Our Everything. God! He is A Mighty Good Leader! ...

Found yourself in a place where there seemed to be no way out and no hope of deliverance?  Such was the case for the children of Israel.  The burden was so great. The bondage so cumbersome and the ruler lacked compassion.   But God had a plan for their deliverance.  He put Moses in place and had ordained his leadership from the beginning.  Moses was the instrument. And as God's instrument He continually reminded the people that God was working on their behalf.

Dear Friends, I was listening to Bishop Paul Morton's "Something Happens" and something happened.  I could not help but think about the many miraculous ways that the Lord has delivered me over and over again.  When I call on the name of Jesus...when I think about the name of Jesus...when I hear the name of Jesus...when I read the name of Jesus...something happens... There is something about the name name of Jesus. Whisper Jesus. Say Jesus. Shout Jesus.  Something will happen.  At the mention of His name.   His Word declares: Call   unt...

Psalm 8 King James Version (KJV) 8  O  Lord , our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens. 2  Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger. 3  When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; 4  What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? 5  For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. 6  Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet: 7  All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field; 8  The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas. 9  O  Lord  our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! ...
