GREAT!

GREAT IS THE LORD!  THE LORD IS GREATER THAN A POWERFUL LOCOMOTIVE.  HE TRAVELS FASTER THAN A SPEEDING BULLET.  JESUS IS MY HERO!

DID YOU CATCH IT?

IT'S "BRED" NOT "BREED: INTO THE SYSTEM.

STAY AWAKE!  GOD SAYS HE WANTS A CHRISTIAN TO BE ALERT. JER. 1

TEACHERS

AS I TRAVEL AROUND THE WORLD I SEE MANY THINGS IN VARIOUS CULTURES.  SOME ARE GEARED FOR THE GOOD, OTHERS ARE GEARED FOR THE BAD.    FOR INSTANCE, TEACHERS ARE POWERFUL IN THEIR OWN RIGHT.  THEY TEACH THE FUTURE GENERATION HOW TO LIVE.  A TEACHER TELLS A CHILD WHAT IS RIGHT AND WHAT IS WRONG,  WHEN A TEACHER TAKES THE CURRENT EVENTS INTO A CLASSROOM, IT CAN BE DANGEROUS.  

WHILE VISITING A COUNTRY I SAW DANGEROUS BEHAVIOUR IN A TEACHER.  ONE DAY THERE WAS A RIOT IN THE COUNTRY. THE PEOPLE WERE DEMONSTRATING THEIR RELIGIOUS BELIEF AGAINST POLITICAL MOVEMENTS.  THE FOLLOWING DAY, I HEARD A TEACHER WORKING WITH THEIR CHILDREN.  HE HAD THEM DOING CHANTS IN THE SCHOOL YARD.  THIS DIDN’T HAPPEN ONCE, BUT SEVERAL TIMES.  THE IMPRESSION I GOT, WAS THE TEACHER WAS PSYCHOLOGICALLY IMPRESSING IN THE CHILDRENS’ MINDS TO BEHAVE AS THE RIOTERS.  THE CHILDREN WERE LEARNING IT’S OK TO CHANT-IT’S OK TO RIOT-IT’S OK TO FIGHT AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT.  

IT WOULD BE A DIFFERENT STORY “IF” THIS BEHAVIOUR DIDN’T HAPPEN THE FOLLOWING DAY OF A RIOT.  THEN, A CLASSROOM CHANTING WOULDE BE JUST A CHILDS’ ACTIVITY.  BUT, FOR EVERYONE-COMMUNITY-NEWS- ETC. TO KNOW THERE WAS A RIOT THE DAY BEFORE AND NOW PRODUCE SIMILAR BEHAVIOUR IN A CHILD IS

DANGEROUS.  THE TEACHER IS INSTILLING BAD BEHAVIOUR IN THE CHILDREN.  HE’S SAYING IT’S OK TO FIGHT AND BE ARGUMENTATIVE.  I PRAY THE ADMINISTRATORS IN SCHOOLS WILL BE ALERT TO WHAT IS TAUGHT IN THE CLASSROOMS AND HAVE THE TEACHERS ALIGN WITH GODLY BEHAVIOUR.  THIS WILL INSTILL GOOD BEHAVIOUR IN THE CHILDREN AND A PEACEFUL GENERATION.

P.S. THE SAD PART - THIS COUNTRY HAS A REPUTATION FOR RIOTS. FOR MANY YEARS THIS COUNTRY HAS BEEN VIOLENT. IT'S LIKE THE VIOLENCE HAS BEEN BREED INTO THEIR SYSTEM.

"WAIT A MINUTE!"

“WAIT A MINUTE!”  THAT’S WHAT PEOPLE SAY AT TIMES.  WHEN THEY’RE SURPRISED IN A NEGATIVE WAY.  THAT’S NOT WHAT A CHRISTIAN IS TO SAY.  A CHRISTIAN IS TO RESPOND IN PRAYER WITH:  “HOW DARE SATAN!  THE GATES OF HELL SHALL NOT PREVAIL.” AND THEN QUICKLY GET ON THEIR KNEES AND PRAY.  SELAH!

RARE LIFE AWARD-REV CAROL@9/11&BIN

LOVE IT=GAL.2:20

THIS IS WHAT RARE LIFE AWARD IS TO ME=ALL FOR HIS GLORHY!  VOTE FOR THE CHRIST IN ME.

CHRISTIAN IMAGINATIONS

CHRISTIAN, DON'T LET YOUR MIND GET FILLED WITH VAIN IMAGINATIONS,  BE PREPARED TO PRAY FOR A MIRACLE ANY TIME OF THE DAY.  A CHRISTIAN DOESN'T KNOW WHEN THEY'LL NEED ONE.  GOD COMMANDS FOR A CHRISTIANS' MIND TO BE FILLED WITH PHIL. 4:8 AND GAL. 5:22 THOUGHTS.  HE'S A GOOD GOD AND KNOWS WHAT'S BEST.  THAT'S WHY GOD WARNS A CHRISTIAN TO KEEP THEIR MINDS ON HIM.  A CHRISTIAN WILL BE READY FOR ANY ATTACK OF SATAN.  I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU - BUT - I KNOW I LIKE BEING A WINNER.

P.S. SOUVENIR PIC FROM PASSING THRU

P.S. THANK YOU "MR. CALIFORNIA IN FRANCE!"  I WILL PRAY FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY - INCLUDING THE $50M.

PASSING THRU

A CHRISTIAN CAN TURN ANY EVENT INTO A TIME TO WITNESS"  TODAY I WENT TO A RESTAURANT NEAR THE TRAIN STATION"  PLACES LIKE THAT ARE INTERESTING FOR THEY ARE USUALLY ALWAYS FILLED WITH TRAVELERS PASSING THRU.

THERE WAS A MAN SITTING AT A TABLE NEAR THE SIDEWALK.  I LIKE THE SIDEWALK TABLES AND UPON PRAYER CHOSE TO SIT AT AN ADJACENT TO HIM.  HE WAS FROM DUBAI AND WAS PASSING THRU THE CITY.  WE TALKED FOR HE HAD JUST RETURNED FROM A VISIT TO THE U.S.

THE MAN WANTED TO SHARE ABOUT HIS FAITH AND RAMADAN.  I IN TURN WAS QUICK TO GIVE A TESTIMONY OF FASTING FOR 40 DAYS; WITH ONLY ONE MILKSHAKE AT LUNCH TIME EACH DAY.  GOD HAD ME SHARE ABOUT JESUS, ELIJAH AND MOSES FASTING FOR 40 DAYS.

AS THE CONVERSATION PROGRESSED, HE HAD A PRAYER REQUEST.  GOD HAD ME GIVE HIM GUIDANCE.  THE MAN WAS SO PLEASED WITH THE CONVERSATION, HE GAVE ME A SOUVENIR FROM DUBAI UPON LEAVING. AT THE END OF THE CONVERSATION I OFFERED HIM TO VISIT THE LORD REIGNS CHURCH IN DUBAI.  THE LORD WILLING HE'LL VISIT THE CHURCH.  I'LL FIND OUT WHEN I GET TO HEAVEN. BLESSED ARE THE FEET WHO BRING THE GOOD NEWS.

HIS WORDS

I AM RICH ACCORDING TO "HIS" RICHES AND GLORY.  I AM CONTENT IN "CHRIST," WHETHER I ABASE OR ABOUND.  DO NOT BE SEEN SELFISH FOR THE "LORD" IS NEAR.  I COUNT IT ALL JOY FOR MY NAME IS WRITTEN IN THE "LAMBS'" BOOK OF LIFE.  

WHAT'S IMPORTANT

WHAT'S IMPORTANT TO YOU?  NATURALLY FOR A CHRISTIAN THEIR SALVATION IS MOST IMPORTANT.  BUT - AFTER THAT?  I COUNT MY SALVATION #1, (THIS INCLUDES MY WALK WITH GOD FOR HE IS THE TOTAL FIBER OF MY BEING.)  MY HEALTH #2, I HAVE LEGAL DOCUMENTS I HAVE TO PROTECT AS I TRAVEL #3 AND MY RELATIONSHIPS IS #4.  MY FRIENDS IN THE STATES KNOW WHERE I'M AT ALL TIMES.  LOOKING GOOD FOR THE GOSPEL IS #5.  PEOPLE WANT TO FOLLOW A GOD THAT'S A WINNER AND I HAVE TO LOOK LIKE A WINNER AT ALL TIMES.  THESE PEOPLE DON'T KNOW WHO I AM AND I HAVE TO DRESS IN A WAY COMMANDING RESPECT.  GOD BLESSES WITH GOOD CLOTHES, USUALLY TAILOR MADE.  I DON'T GET CAUGHT UP IN THE SEASONAL FASHION OF FRANCE AND DRESS IN A CLASSIC STYLE.  AFTER THIS, ANYTHING GOES...

I FLOW WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT AND TRUST GOD FOR MY DAILY ADVENTURE.  IT'S EASIER IN BEING A WINNER OVERSEAS BY LETTING GO OF EVERYTHING.  HOLDING ON TO PATTERNS CAN CAUSE EXTRA WARFARE.  THE MINISTRY IS NOT ON THE "IMPORTANT" LIST INTENTIONALLY.  IT'S NOT MY MINISTRY, IT'S GODS' MINISTRY.  I CAN CONTINUE TO MINISTER OR WALK AWAY FROM THE MINISTRY.  I LOVE MINISTERING TO PEOPLE, PRAYING FOR A MIRACLE IS THE BESSSSSST!

TESTIMONY TIME - I GAVE UP THE MINISTRY ONCE AND TOLD GOD HE'D HAVE TO START UP THE MINISTRY IF HE WANTED ME TO MINISTER.  (I UNDERSTAND THE CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING THE CALL,  I FULFILLED THE REQUIREMENTS OF BEING SCHOOLED AND WAS GOING FORWARD IN SERVING THE LORD.  I HAD FOLLOWED THE CALL AND WASN'T IN SIN BY WALKING AWAY.  I WASN'T REJECTING GOD, I WAS LETTING HIM BE LORD AS I PRAYED "IF YOU WANT..,")  SIX MONTHS LATER GOD OPENED THE DOORS AND I'VE BEEN FULL TIME ACTYIVLY SERVING HIM FROM THAT MOMENT ONE  DON'T BE AFRAID OF TRUSTING GOD WITH EVERYTHING.  LET JESUS BE LORD!

MIGHTY WARRIOR

MY GOD IS A MIGHTY WARRIOR.  WHEN I NEED A VICTORY, HE ALWAYS COMES TO MY AIDE.  I FIND THE EASIEST WAY TO GUARANTEE A VICTORY IS TO PRAY "LET ME WIN FOR YOUR GLORY!  HAVE OTHERS SEE ME WIN TO SHOW YOU ARE THE TRUE GOD,"  GOD DOESN'T EVER LET ME DOWN.  HE LIKES FOR ME TO GIVE HIM GLORY!

POOCH

THERE ARE DOGS AND THERE ARE POOCHS'.  THE DOG IS A TYPICAL ANIMAL, BUT THE POOCH IS A PURSE STYLE PET. THEY'RE ALMOST HUMAN WITH THEIR CHARACTER. THESE PETS KNOW THEY'RE SPECIAL AND COMMAND RESPECT.  I'VE SEEN SOME DRESSED UP AND EVERYONE SAYS "ADORABLE."  I DO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE CLOTHES. TODAY I SAW AN OVER SIZED POOCH AT THE TRAIN STATION,  A MAN WAS WALKING BY AND ALONG SIDE HIM WAS HIS PET  IT LOOKED LIKE A LIGHT COLORED LABRADOR BUT HAD AN EXCLUSIVE LOOK.  OVER THE DOGS' BACK WAS A SADDLE BAG. THE IMAGE WAS "I HAVE MY OWN SUITCASE."

EVERYONE

HEY EVERYONE!  I'M ALIVE AND WELL.  HOW ABOUT YOU?  I SURVIVED THE MARSEILLE TERROR ATTACK IN JUNE.  THE THOUGHT OF POISONOUS GAS ESCAPING INTO THE AIR =  GHASTLY.  AS I CONSIDER THE CONSEQUENCES, THE GAS GETS YOU ONE TIME AND IS NOMINAL COMPARED TO ETERNAL SALVATION.  THAT'S WHY I HANG ON TO MY SALVATION WHEREVER I GO.  JESUS IS MY EVERYTHING.

GOOD MORNING JESUS!

AS I WRITE' I THINK OF A KINDERGARTEN SONG:
GOOD MORNING TO YOU! (2x)
WE;RE ALL IN OUR PLACES,
WITH BRIGHT SHINING FACES.
GOOD MORNING TO YOU!

GREET JESUS EACH DAY WITH A SMILE!

MORE

SOME PEOPLE THINK MORE IS BETTER.  FOR THOSE ON A DIET, LESS IS BETTER.  I DON;T THINK MORE OR LESS.  HAVING JESUS AS LORD OF MY LIFE MEANS I THINK HIS WAY IS BETTER.

SHOCK

PEOPLE WILL DO ANYTHING TO GET ATTENTION. PSYCHOLOGY TEACHES WHEN THEY TRY TO SHOCK YOU, IT'S BEST TO IGNORE IT.  THIS TAKES AWAY THE THRILL THEY WERE SEEKING IN THE "OOOH! " SOMEONE WOULD SAY.

THE OTHER DAY I WAS SITTING AT ONE OF MY FAVORITE PEOPLE WATCHING AREAS IN MARSEILLE.  IT WAS A QUIET, NORMAL DAY.  ALL OF A SUDDEN THE PEACE WAS BROKEN. EVERYONE IN THE CITY SQUARE WAS RUNNING.  PEOPLE WERE SCREAMING.  I LOOKED TO THE RIGHT OF ME.  THE CITY SQUARE HAD A STREAKER - A NUDE RUNNER.

I SAW A MAN TAKING A PICTURE OF THE RUNNER.  AT THE CENTER OF THE SQUARE, THERE WERE A FEW PEOPLE CROSSING THE STREET; AND THEY WENT RUNNING AWAY. (SOME GAVE A YELL.)  THE MAN BACK TRACKED ONCE HE GOT TO THE STATUE IN THE CENTER AND WENT TOWARDS THE LOCAL FIVE STAR RESTAURANT.

WITHIN A COUPLE OF MINUTES THE POLICE ARRIVED.   (APPROXIMATELY 10 POLICE CARS)  EVIDENTLY THE RUNNER DIDN;T GIVE UP SO EASILY WHEN THE POLICE WENT TO CATCH HIM.  THE POLICE WERE "BEHIND THE SCENES" IN THE FIVE STAR RESTAURANT SECLUDED COVERED PATIO SITTING AREA FOR ABOUT FIVE MINUTES. FINALLY THE POLICE CAPTURED HIM AND PUT THE NUDE RUNNER IN AN AMBULANCE.

I 'SAW GODS' LOVING HAND IN THE MIDST OF ALL THIS. WHEN I LOOKED UP TO SEE WHAT THE COMMOTION WAS, THE RUNNER HAD HIS BACK SIDE TO ME.  OH! THE FRENCH RIVIERA   I PRAYED FOR THE MAN TO MAKE JESUS LORD AND SAVIOUR AND FOR THE AUDIENCE TO REALIZE IT WAS A SIN.  NOAHS' SON RECEIVED A CURSE WHEN HE TOLD HIS BROTHER ABOUT SEEING HIS FATHER ASLEEP AND NUDE.-

THERE'S NEVER A DULL MOMENT IN THE FRENCH RIVIERA. YOU CAN FIND AN OUTDOOR MOVIE IN A PARK, AN ART EXHIBIT AND VARIOUS CONCERTS ALL THE TIME.  IT'S A CITY FOR THE ARTS AND ADVENTURE.  MARANATHA LORD JESUS!
    

INVINCIBLE

MY GOD IS INVINCIBLE.  DEFINITION OF INVICIBLE:
SOMETHING INVINCIBLE IS VICTORIOUS OVER EVERYTHING, DISEASE, DEATH, DESTRUCTION.  NO MATCH FOR SOMETHING.

I READ IN THE OLD TESTAMENT MANY EXPLOITS OF GOD SHOWING HIS POWER.  I CAN LOOK UP IN THE SKY AND SEE HIS GREATNESS.  AS I FOLLOW AFTER HIM, I TOO BECOME INVINCABLE.  I LIKE THAT.

SEATED IN HEAVENLIES

THE BIBLE SAYS I'M SEATED IN THE HEAVENLY REALMS. THAT SAYS A LOT TO ME,  SEATED IN THE HEAVENLIES MEANS TO ME:
I'M IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD
I AM UNTOUCHABLE FROM PEOPLE IN THE SPIRIT
I AM GUILTLESS' BLAMELESS AND SPOTLESS
I WALK IN THE POWER OF GOD
I WALK THE KINGDOM OF GOD HERE ON EARTH

DO I NEED TO SAY MORE?

MELANCHOLY

NO ONE HAS A REASON TO BE MELANCHOLY WHEN THEY'RE A CHRISTIAN.  THEY CAN FIND JOY IN THEIR SALVATION.  THERE'S NOTHING TO BE MORE IMPORTANT THAN THEIR SALVATION.  A CHRISTIAN ISN'T ALLOWED TO HAVE GUILT, BLAME AND SHAME.  THUS THEIR SALVATION IS WHAT CAN MAKE THEM HAPPY NO MATTER WHAT ELSE IS HAPPENING IN THEIR LIFE.

MONEY=HAPPINESS

MONEY CAN'T BUY HAPPINESS, BUT IT SURE HELPS!  I'D LIKE TO CHANGE A WORD IN THIS POPULAR PHRASE -

MONEY CAN'T BUY SALVATION, BUT IT SURE HELPS!

AND ADD

"ONLY FOR THE TIME BEING."

SELAH!

WHAT IS GOOD?

IT'S LIKE BEAUTY BEING IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER.  EACH PERSON HAS THEIR OWN INTERPRETATION OF BEAUTY.  IT'S THE SAME IDEA WITH GOODNESS.  EACH PERSON CAN DETERMINE WHAT IS GOOD FOR THEM.  THIS IDEA OF WHAT'S GOOD FOR THEM, MAY NOT BE THE SAME IDEA FOR ANOTHER PERSON.

EMPTY HEADED

ANYONE WHO WANTS TO LISTEN TO SATAN IS AN EMPTY HEADED FOOL.  THAT'S WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS - JOB 11:12-14, PS. 14:1.  BE WISE IN GODS' EYES AND LISTEN TO HIM.  (PROV. 9:10, JOHN 10:27)  

COUNTRY SECRETS

SOME COUNTRIES HAVE SECRETS AND A PERSON DOESN'T KNOW ABOUT THEM UNTIL THEY'RE IN THE COUNTRY.  THE POLICE IN FRANCE ARE PRETTY LENIENT IN SOME AREAS.  FRANCE HAS A LAW AGAINST MUSLIM WOMEN COVERING THEIR FACES.  SOME OBEY THE LAW AND SOME DON'T. YESTERDAY I SAW SOME THAT COULD PUT HAIR ON THE BACK OF YOUR NECK.  I WAS SITTING IN A POPULAR AREA, WATCHING THE CROWD GO  BY.  ALL OF A SUDDEN I SAW A CYCLIST GO  BY QUICKLY.  THE ODD PART, THIS MAN HAD A COVERING OVER HIS HEAD LIKE THE JIHAD.  MAY GOD HELP FRANCE!  

ONLY

JESUS IS MY ONE AND ONLY LOVE.  I LOVE HIM WITH EVERY FIBER OF MY BEING.  WITH EVERY BREATH I BREATHE, I BREATH FOR HIM.  HE SAVED MY SOUL.  THAT'S ENOUGH FOR ME . I TRUST HIM WITH EVERYTHING.  JESUS IS THE ALPHA AND OMEGA IN MY LIFE.

MENTION

"MENTION ME IN YOUR PRAYERS."  PEOPLE SAY THAT ALL THE TME, BUT HOW.  IF THEY'RE SERIOUS WITH A PRAYER REQUEST, THEY ARE TO BE SPECIFIC.  IE.  "I HAVE A COLD, PRAY FOR MY HEALTH."  "I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY FOR THIS MONTHS' EXPENSES, PRAY FOR MY FINANCES." WHEN A PERSON ASKS FOR PRAYER AND THEY NEED HELP; IT'S GOOD TO LET THE INTERCESSOR KNOW.  THIS WAY THE INTERCESSOR CAN GET DOWN ON THEIR KNEES AND SHAKE THE HEAVENS.

EXTERNAL HAPPINESS

WHAT IS HAPPINESS?  IS IT A BOWL OF ICE CREAM? OR YOUR FAVORITE MOVIE?  TO HAVE A LASTING HAPPINESS,
IT'S BEST TO FIND IT IN SOMETHING NOT IN THE EXTERNAL REALM.  HAPPINESS IS BEST TO COME FROM WITHIN. SUCH AS, KNOWING YOUR SOUL IS SAVED.
