Avalanche

Today what I hear in the Spirit is Avalanche.  Today I pray for a losing in your people. The same way snow flows down a mountain in an avalanche let every issue that has your people weight down be broken today. Father, cause our praise and worship to trigger an avalanche in our lives.  Let that avalanche remove any and everything that would hinder our relationship with you.    Amen

Words of Encouragement

Grace is the voice that call us to change and then gives us the power to change.~Anonymous~

God not only wants to get heaven in you but He wants to get it to come out of you. Pour out His presence on others. Don't be a Dead Sea Christian.

Let Your Praise Out!

It is time to stop being silent. You need to let your praise out. In spite of everything. There's a lot going on in your life and in this world but we must praise God. Don't get distracted by what's going on and forget that the creator of The universe is on your side. What are we going to do in the face of trouble, we're going to praise. What are we going to do when we don't know what to do, we're going to praise. He's worthy of all the praise. Don't hold your praise in release it unto God and change the atmosphere around you to an atmosphere praise.

It will not be aborted!

Today I decree and declare that your purpose and your destiny will not be aborted. What God has designed you for will come to pass. The greatness He placed inside of you is needed in this world. Yes, you were created with a God-given purpose, you are a word out of the mouth of God. And God's word will not return to Him void. You shall do what God has created you to do. Before the foundations of the world he knew you and filled  you with purpose. Created by the master for His use. You have a master charge. I'm not talking about the credit card but The master has charge you to carry out a specific part of His plan for creation. Now go and do what God has called you to do. 

Thought of the day

Today let's focus on the faithfulness of God. As you go through your day and you deal with the issues of life take a few moments to remind yourself that God is faithful. His love for you is never ending, his mercies are new every morning. It is his delight to see you fulfill all that He has desire and design for you to do.

Kingdom keys

The Bible declares in Lamemtations 3:22-23 it is because of thy mercies (lovingkindness) that we are not consumed,because his compassions fail not.they are new every morning great is thy faithfulness. 

 Every morning you awaken God's faithfulness is proven His mercies are new. Today lets' not just be thankful for the new mercies we were shown but let us pray that others will walk in and receive the new mercies God has for them. 

We are kingdom keys. We are the keys God will use to show mercy to others. Today I challenge you not only to walk in New mercies but show mercy and lovingkindness is to all you meet.

Be Encourage

This is the day the Lord has made I will rejoice and be glad in it. For the Lord is my strengt, my shield and my butler. He is my all and all. Today no matter what you are facing I encourage you, I challenge you, plead with you, trust in the Lord with all your heart. He is able to do exceedingly and abundantly above all you can think or ask.

Be  encourage today. I pray God's blessing be upon you and your families.

 

Uniquely Different

For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them. PS. 139:13-16 ESV

God knows you for it was He who formed you. He is not shock or surprise by your weakness, for they are a part of His glorious plan for your life

God has made each of us different for His plan and His purposes. He purposefully designed you to be uniquely different.  God design you to leave a unique footprint on this earth. This can only happen when you embrace your difference and agree with the plans and purposes of God. 

God loves you for you. You do not have to try to impress Him or others. Simply be who God created you to be. Live on purpose and be uniquely different.

Blessings Always

There is more

There is life outside of what you see. There is more to experience than what you have already experienced. It's time to get out and think outside the box. 

Stop letting  your pass and your current situation hold you back from pursuing your destiny. God created us all for a purpose. I challenge you today to live on purpose today and every day of your life. 

We,as Christians, are to be the light. Shine bright my friends for it is light  that expels darkness. 

I Still Believe

2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

In spite of  all that has happen this week in the United States I still believe this.  The verse said if my people. AMP version says those who are called by my name. The verse is not talking to those who are not the people of God but those who are.  Those of  us who name the  name of  Christ as our Savior we must pray, we must humble ourselves and we must seek His face and yes we must turn from our wicked ways. Those who do not know our God are not charged in these verse.  Those who are called by His name are.

I still believe God is able to heal our land. I still believe that He is bigger than it all. Join me in interceding for our nation and its Leaders.  Let us shout from every housetop and every valley that we need God to heal our land. We need God in America. We need God in our families. We need God and we will not stop crying out to Him or for Him to heal our land.

Let the people of God boldly stand up declare and demonstrate the power of His love and saving grace.

No Mixture

 As I was studying the book of Galatians God dropped in my spirit this simple reminder No Mixture!  

In Gal. 1:6-8 Paul tells them that he is surprise at how soon they have been removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ and that there are those who would pervert the Gospel of Christ. What we see happening here is that some of the Jews felt that the Gentiles who had accepted the Gospel of Christ needed to now be circumcise.  They were trying to mix the Gospel of Christ with the law. This as Paul puts it was a pervert gospel.

Sadly, to say there is still a mixture in the church today. So often the mixture shows up in the form of religious traditions or denomination association. Some of us are more concern with our denominations and traditions then we are with seeing people truly change by the Gospel.  Our commitment is more to our denomination than to God. Our allegiance is more to a man/woman, or church than it is to the God that called the man/woman.

It is not rules or bylaws that have the power to set the captives free.  It is the simple truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ that brings true liberty, deliverance and freedom. This is what the world needs.

 Most of us do not need someone to point out our short comings and failures what need is to be pointed to Christ. Exposed to the light of His word and the truth of who He is and the price He paid for us.

Today I challenge you simply to live a life of no mixture. Stop trying to live under the religious tradition of men and walk in the liberty Christ paid for. Let’s not preach/teach denominational doctrine but Christ and what He alone has done for us.

Prayer of Blessings

Today I am decreeing blessings your way. Father I pray that the favor of God Will meet every reader where they are at. Lord keep them as the apple of your eye and hide you under the shadow of your wings Psalms 17:7. I am praying that the anointing &  power of God would overshadow them in such a way that they cannot deny that we serve a real awesome God. May the promise of God preserve their life Psalm 119:50. May the Lord answer them when they are in distress it may the name of the God of Jacob protect them psalms 20:1. 

In Jesus mighty name amen

Walk into it!

Thankful for the amazing grace of God. We serve an awesome God. Today I pray you know that you are not mistake or a mishap. The same Savior that died for me paid the price for you as well. I am thankful that we have been washed, sanctified, and justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God (1Corinthians 6:11). You need to celebrate and walk in all Jesus did for us. Go ahead hold your head up walk in victory in the fullness of your purpose. Walk on into it!

Prayer: Kingdom Finances

Today I feel lead to pray that God would release kingdom finances to those who are staying true to their call and assignment.  I pray that what every resources your ministry need that God will supply. If its money or even people to assist you in the assignment I pray for that it be release unto you today.  

Dear Father, we thank you for the many blessing you have poured upon us. We thank you that you are our Jehovah Jireh. You are our provider and today I ask that you release kingdom finances into the ministries of those who stand with you. You know the assignment you have given them and we asked that the resources and people needed to help them fulfill the assignment be release unto them.  As these men and women of God seek first your kingdom and righteousness we decree that all things will be added unto them. (Matt.6:33) We know that you have given unto us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: (2 Peter 1:3). You know the call that you have placed on us and not only have you equipped us but you supply our every need as we walk in our assignment.  Thank you Father for the release of kingdom finances to help us as we stay true to the calling and the assignment. In Jesus name Amen

God's Enduring Love

Psalm 136:1 AMP

Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; For His loving-kindness (graciousness, mercy, compassion) endures forever.

This verse is good news to all of those who think God does not love them. The last part of the verse reads “endures forever”.

 When we go to the dictionary we see that the word endure has two simple definitions.

1.      To continue to exist in the same state or condition. God’s love is consistent. James1 :7 (NIV) Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. How awesome, God is consistent in His love towards us. God does not love you one day then hate you if you mess up.  Yes, God does hate sin but He loves you! His love for you continues, His desire is to see you live in victory and see you live a life that glorifies Him.  

2.      To experience pain or suffering for a long time. Joel 2:13 And rend your heart and not your garments " Now return to the LORD your God, For He is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger, abounding in loving-kindness and relenting of evil. Halleluiah, God is longsuffering!! God has not given up on. He is still waiting with outstretch arms to welcome you in to the family of God.

When we really embrace how much God love for us, we understand that in spite of our faults, and short comings His still loves us. God’s unconditional, consistent, and longsuffering love is not a license for us to sin. We do not need to take His love for grant. We need to embrace His wonderful love for us and reciprocate it. No one likes to be in a one side relationship. God’s love for us is birth out of His genuine desire to be in a loving intimate relationship with us.

Father thank you for your enduring love. Help us to not only experience your love but to share it with others we come in contact with today. My they feel your love as it flows through me.

In Jesus name Amen

Good Good Father [Lyrics] - Chris Tomlin

I pray this song ministers to your heart. I love this song because it reminds me that the God is 

a good Father and that I am loved by Him. He loves me and He loves you.  He is Abba Father.

Daniel 3:16

Daniel 3:16

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego answered and said to the king, “O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter. 17 If that is the case, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us from your hand, O king. ¹⁸ But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we do not serve your gods, nor will we worship the gold image which you have set up.”

In Daniel 3 we read the story of the Three Hebrews and their refusal to worship and image. What I find truly inspirational about this text is that compromise was not an option. In the text we see that these men had their confidence in God. This text gives us three good points to remember when we are face with a difficult situation or obstacle.

1.       Don’t worry about answering your critics.  The three men started their response to the King by saying we have no need to answer you in this matter. Stop trying to explain/answer people who do not know your God. The question the King asked them is found at the end of verse 15. The King asked: And who is the god who will deliver you from my hands?” There is always going to be people who will doubt our God and question our faith. Simply walk by faith, trust and believe God. Remember For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places Eph.6:12.

2.        Be God Confident. With confidence the three men said God is able to deliver us not only that but He will deliver us. Our confidence cannot be in our ability, strength, or education but in God alone. No matter what the circumstance it is God who will deliver you. Our faith in Him must be unwavering.

3.       Do not compromise.  In verse 18 we see the men take a stand against compromise. They understood that God is sovereign. They were letting the king know that our faith in God is not based on what we want Him to do for us. Our faith is in Him because He is God. So yes we believe he will deliver us but if for some reason He don’t, He is still God. God does not stop being God because things do not go right.

I pray that in the face of difficulty that you remember the lessons learn through these men. Be encouraged today and know God is with you wherever you go. Put your confidence in Him.

May blessing Minister Haynes

Leaders understand

When others sit we stand

We others stand we standout

When others standout we are outstanding

When others dare to be outstanding we become the standard to which they aspire

Thought for today

Safe Place

The safest place I found is at the Masters. feet. When I am at His feet the cares of the day just melt away. I become lost in the glory of his presences. All that matters at that moment in time is Him and our unconditional love for each other. He is my safe place where I find rest, comfort and peace. All at the masters’ feet. For His banner over me is love. 


If need rest or peace I encourage you this day to listen to these words found in Matt. 11:28-30.

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.


Come to Jesus and find rest and strength for the journey.

Motivational Moments

Get in Alignment

Are you in alignment with God's plan and purpose for your life or misalignment?  If you have ever driven a car that is not properly align then you know what happens when the car gets out of alignment.  When the car is not align right it makes it harder to drive the car.

When our life is not align with God's plan and purpose it becomes harder to steer through the struggles and issues that pop up with life.

How do we stay in alignment? 

First spend time in worship: John 4:23-24
But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

Second spend time in prayer:    Ps. 145:18The Lord is near to all who call on Him,
To all who call on Him in truth

Third spend time in the Word:  Ps. 119:11 Thy word oh Lord have I hid in my heart that I might not sin against thee

Prayer: Father help us to stay in alignment with your word, as well as your plan and purposes for our lives.

Live on Purpose

The perfect way

Psalms 18:30 declares that the way of God is perfect. It is amazing to know that God's way is perfect. Perfect means to be complete, to have all the required and desired parts. We must be confident that God's way has all the required and desired parts. His way is absolutely complete.

What is His way? Jesus said I am the way, the truth and the life. {John 14:6}

Jesus is God's perfect way!  Jesus paid the price and made a way for us to have a eternal life. Jesus was the requirement he was absolutely complete in God and he absolutely completed the plan of God. 

Today I encourage you to except the perfect way of God. Ask Jesus to come into your heart to forgive you of your sins and to cleanse you of all unrighteousness. 

You can begin a new today in the perfect way of God. 

No Un-Finish Business

John 19:28-30

After this, Jesus, knowing^[a] that all things were now accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, “I thirst!” ²⁹ Now a vessel full of sour wine was sitting there; and they filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on hyssop, and put it to His mouth. ³⁰ So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.

The word finish means to bring (a task or activity) to an end; complete. On this Resurrection Day how awesome it is to know that Christ left no un-finish business.  He completed His task. John said it best in John 1:29 “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! He dealt with our sin past, present, and future.

Have a Glorious and bless Resurrection Day!

Isaiah 6:8

Isaiah 6:8 Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?”
And I said, “Here am I. Send me!” NIV

Every day is a blessing from God. It is an opportunity for us to move out of the ordinary and into the extraordinary work of God.

Early in life I was determine to make a mark on this world. Now my desire is to allow God to use me so He can make a mark on the world through me.  I want to be a willing vessel that He can use. What about you?

It can be easy to say Lord send me but hard to do, especially, when God ask us do what is uncomfortable.

Part of embracing the journey is truly embracing the call of God on your life and moving in agreement with God.  I believe Isaiah understood the importance of agreeing with God and the plan God has for his life.

To agree with God we first must hear and know His voice. Secondly, we have to say. I other words we have to say yes, to what we heard. Thirdly, we must be willing to do or go. We heard, we agreed with our mouth now we must agree in action to what it is God has plan for us.

This does not mean he knew everything or that he would not face difficulty but he was willing to allow God to mark the world through him.

Relaxing

In awe of God's handiwork! My God created all this.

2 Kings 7: 3-10

Take a Chance and Move

  In our text we see that the 4 men did not let their current condition keep them from making the choice to move. They knew that change was needed because death was certain were they were at.  The fact that they had leprosy was not going to prevent them from doing something different.  We cannot allow what our current condition to define us. God is still in control and His strength is made perfect in our weakness. We must be willing to take a chance and move in spite of our conditions.

Secondly, make sure you move in faith. As we move in faith we have may have to encourage our self. I don’t believe that these men were moving towards the enemy camp thinking we’re dead now, it’s over now, our goose is cooked. No I believe as they were moving forward they were thinking and speaking faith. Gods going to give us favor, they will be merciful to us. When we are afraid to step out or move in faith we need to count the cost of not doing what God has asked us to do.  What will happen if I do not do what God wants me to do? 

Thirdly move in selflessness. Selflessness is define as having little or no concern for oneself, especially with regard to fame, position, money in other words you are willing to risk your own gain to do, say, or give something for another person without expecting anything. The four men in our text understood that it was the day of good news and they could not keep what God had done a secret.  It is so important that as we move in God’s plans and purposes for our lives that we share the good news of Jesus Christ.  

The men in our text were face with having to make a choice to move, they had to take a chance. When they got up and started walking they had no idea what God was going to do.  While they were walking God was moving in the background to bring about a great deliverance not just for the 4 of them but for the whole city.

Word of the day

Sow the Seed

Matt. 13 3:9

Then he told them many things in parables, saying: “A farmer went out to sow his seed. ⁴ As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. ⁵ Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. ⁶ But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. ⁷ Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants. ⁸ Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop—a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown. ⁹ Whoever has ears, let them hear.”

I love the parable of the sower found in Matthew13:3-23. As I was reading and meditating upon this passage of scripture God begin to prompt me to encourage others, as well as myself, to sow more.

I’m not talking about money, while God may lead some of us to sow more financially into His kingdom. But rather to sow more of Him into the lives of others.  To sow more, love, kindness, forgiveness and of course more of the word of God.

The sower had one job in the parable that was to sow the seed. His job was not to plow the field but to sow seed. His job at this time was not to cultivate the seed once it was in the ground but to sow the seed. Not to worry over whether the seed fell on good ground or bad but to simple sow the seed. Not all of the seeds he sowed fell on good ground, but he still sowed.

Today, I want to challenge and encourage you to simply sow the seed.  Sow the seeds of love, kindness, and His word. We cannot let the fear of rejection or failure stop us from sowing seeds of God’s word, love and forgiveness in the lives of others. Will the seeds we sow always fall on good ground? No, but we still must sow.

  While the stony ground of man’s hearts need to be broken-up and that is a job for God. He knows us and He knows the conditions of our hearts. He is simply asking us to sow the seed.

Place Guard over My Mouth

Ps. 141:3

Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth;
Keep watch over the door of my lips [to keep me from speaking thoughtlessly].AMP

Have you ever had one of those uh-oh did I say that out loud moments? Perhaps you found yourself complaining to God instead of praying to God. (I have found myself doing both of these.)

 When the pressure and stress of life happen we may find ourselves speaking faithless words instead of faith filled words.  When we are frustrated with our husbands, children or co-workers we must be mindful to speak out of love not frustration. James 1:19 puts it this way” Understand this, my beloved brothers and sisters. Let everyone be quick to hear [be a careful, thoughtful listener], slow to speak [a speaker of carefully chosen words and], slow to anger [patient, reflective, forgiving];”{AMP}

In Psalms 141:3 the author understands how easy it is to speak words that can not only be damaging to others, but to ourselves and our faith. So he asks the Lord to place guard over his mouth. A guard is to protect, keep careful watch over, safeguard things that are valuable. Think about how valuable our words are.  Proverbs 18:21 declares that “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it and indulge it will eat its fruit and bear the consequences of their words.” {AMP}  Wow!  The words that come from our mouth are so valuable and powerful that they can produce life or death. Its’ no wonder we need to be mindful of what we say.

Father, today we ask that you place a guard over our mouth. Help us to speak words that are life giving and full of faith.  In Jesus name amen.

Amazing Father

Our heavenly Father is truly amazing.  Sometimes I think we forget just how amazing and awesome He truly is. 

In spite of all our imperfections and short comings He loves us. His desire is to have an inmate relationship with each an everyone of us. He so wanted this that He gave us His only begotten son (John 3:16). He allowed His son to pay the price for us.

God loves you! Do you hear me? God love you! Yes, He really does love YOU! You were created in His image and the Father desires to have a loving relationship with you.

Today don’t look at the mistakes made but the grace that was given. Let’s not focus on our imperfections but on His perfection.

Today choose to accept the Father’s love. Walk in His love, live in His love and most importantly share His love with someone.  

A Faith that is Alive

James 2: 14-17

Hebrews 11: 1-6

A Faith that is Alive

A Faith that is alive requires action.

James 2:17-18Amplified Bible (AMP)

 So too, faith, if it does not have works [to back it up], is by itself dead [inoperative and ineffective]. But someone may say, “You [claim to] have faith and I have [good] works; show me your [alleged] faith without the works [if you can], and I will show you my faith by my works [that is, by what I do].”  

To be dead is to be void of life.  The opposite of dead is alive. So then as believers in Christ we must have a faith that is alive.

The word work here is not referring to salvation because we know no amount of good works that can save us.  The word work when define means the act of doing.  So then faith without the act of doing is dead. So faith that is alive then must have an action to match.  

The ability to believe and have a faith that is alive is in us.  I want you to think about this. We will get up go to job and work the hours they give us because we believe that at end of the week or whenever the payday is we are going to get a check. But we do not even know if the business has money to pay us. We haven’t seen their checking account we don’t know how much debt they have. We don’t even ask. We simply believe because they hired us they have the money. If we can act on a man’s word and trust and believe that we are going to receive what he promises us then surely we can have faith to act on the word God and the promises of God.

Now go to Hebrews 11. There were 3 things God showed me that indicated these people had a faith that was alive.

1.     They moved in obedience to God.

2.     They Trusted God for the increase

3.     They Focused on God not Man

    Many of us have prophetic words and promises hanging over us and our families and while we are waiting on God, He is waiting on us to take a step of faith. What God is asking you to have faith for now very well could be the stepping stone for where He wants to take you.   It’s time for us to mix what we say we believe with action.
