Position Yourself For Success

Sunday, 30. May 2010 12:57

I was doing some reading yesterday and I came across the following 2 verses.

James 4:7-10 7Submit therefore to God Resist the devil and he will flee from you. 8Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.

Philippians 4:8-9 8Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things. 9The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.

The verses reminded me of how we need to “position ourselves for success”. As some of you know I am a Functional Medicine Specialist and Nutritionist and when I am working with clients I always tell them they need to position themselves for success by cooking and preparing fresh, whole foods on a daily basis and carrying a cooler of food with them where ever they go. This way you are always prepared to nourish you body with healthy foods instead of having to rush out and buy processed, cheap fast food which is causing a lot of sickness.

Positioning ourselves for success is also what we need to do as Christians. When I stopped partying and came to know the Lord I still on occasion went to parties or to bars knowing I shouldn’t be there and fell right back into the same patterns that I was trying to get away from. I thought partying was what life was all about but eventually I learned to position myself for success by going to Church every weekend, joining a small group, reading the Bible, praying together, staying away from people who did not have my best interest in mind, and finding out you can still have fun without partying.

The benefits were I made life long friends who actually love me for me and are not surface friends. I learned so much about the Bible and grew so close to the Lord. I learned this life is not about me it’s all about serving God in everything I do in my life and planting as many seeds for Christ as I can. Once I positioned myself for success the Lord opened the doors for me to use my gifts by becoming a teacher, functional medicine specialist, and starting my online ministry.

We all need to obey God and flee from sinful temptations and activity. So whatever temptations are calling your name right now I encourage you to read out loud the 2 verses above, tell the devil to take a hike, and position yourself for success.

Day Of Rest

Saturday, 29. May 2010 8:20

Summer has arrived in Southern California! When I was checking my site analytics this morning I noticed that the last 3 days that Burbank, California was blowing up the site. Thanks for tuning in Burbank much appreciated. Please continue to spread the word about the site as it burns in my heart “for all” to come to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior and “for all” to be healed. I just pulled up a map of Burbank and prayed over your city. I know God is going to move in a powerful way. I encourage you to see where God is working in your city and join in.

I woke up this morning thinking that today is going to be a day of rest. I know many of us have been looking forward to this 3 day weekend to get away from all the stresses of life and chill out for a couple days. I looked up a ton of verses on joy, peace, and rest and I have pasted the verses that spoke to me for this day of rest below. Make sure to read them out loud and claim these verses today for you and your family and friends.

Lord Jesus I pray for peace, joy ,and rest over all who are reading this right now. Our joy is in you and complete not in what society says should bring us joy. Have an awesome day.

Neal

Matthew 11:28-32
28″Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. 29″Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and (C)YOU WILL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS. 30″For (D)My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

Psalm 37:7
7[a]Rest in the LORD and (A)wait [b]patiently for Him.

Psalm 23:1-3
1The LORD is my (A)shepherd ,I shall (B)not want. 2He makes me lie down in (C)green pastures;He (D)leads me beside (E)quiet waters. 3He (F)restores my soul;

Philippians 4:4-7
4(A)Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! 5Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. (B)The Lord is near. 6(C)Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by (D)prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7And (E)the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will (F)guard your hearts and your (G)minds in (H)Christ Jesus.

Prayer And The Real Prince Of Persia

Friday, 28. May 2010 8:05

The weekend is almost here prayer warriors. Once again I want to thank you for all the prayer work you guys have been putting in for people on my site. I was reading a column by Lane Palmer on the Christian Post entitled “The Real Prince Of Persia” that I think will speak to you about the spiritual battle that goes on when we pray. The devil and his demons do not like it when we pray especially when we all pray together for a specific purpose. Please click here to read the column and let’s do battle! I have pasted part of the column below.

Have an awesome day. I will talk to you all this weekend.

Neal

By Lane Palmer, columnist for the Christian Post “In other words, there is an invisible spiritual war going on that rages just as violently today as it did back in the day. And what gets me pumped up is that I know my prayer life isn’t just a daily habit of thanking God for food and help me have a great day. My prayers are the weapons of war. They call angels into action and spark colossal battles. In fact, if I was able to actually witness the spiritual combat being waged all around, I would probably hit the floor in a state of shock.”

Thursday Prayer Requests

Thursday, 27. May 2010 5:45

update 3:00pm(PST)
Good afternoon everyone. I have a heavy heart today. Since my post this morning more prayer requests have come in that are pretty heavey so please continue to pray. I know your prayers are making a huge difference. God has a plan for all of this. Jeremiah 29:11-14 says,”11 For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. 12 In those days when you pray, I will listen. 13 If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me. 14 I will be found by you,” says the Lord. “I will end your captivity and restore your fortunes”.

No matter what’s going on in your life, you will make it through as nothing is to big for God. Sometimes we don’t understand why this is happening but we persevere and trust and have faith in the unseen.

Neal

Normal Christianity

Tuesday, 25. May 2010 16:36

Below is a word from John Kloos. If you need a blast of the Holy Spirit check out what is going on this Friday night at Robinwood Church. I have also embedded YouTube videos 5, 6, 7 from the Finger Of God movie. You need to watch these. What you are about to watch is not radical Christianity it’s “normal” Christianity like when Jesus was walking the earth and after Pentecost. This should be happening in the United States daily but it’s not because I believe peoples hearts are so hardened and everyone is so worried about how much money do I have, how do I look, how big is my house, how many cars do I have, me, me , me and I can do everything myself I do not need a savior. Believe me the devil and his demons are working over time to keep us all focused on all the United States has to offer instead of what’ really important which is putting Christ #1 in our lives in everyway and in everything we do.

On Page 81 of The Power by James Bramlett he says this is happening because of unbelief, tradition, and ritualism in the church and a biblically ignorant population. We need to read the Bible people as it is the owners manual on how to live life for the King and use all the gifts he has given us. Healings signs, wonders, and miracles are everyday occurrences in other countries as they “have a child like faith” and they are not jaded like we are. Click on “testimonies” and “ministries” on your right and watch Steve Trullinger’s testimony and click on his ministry “The Father’s Touch” on your right and you will see what I am talking about. These things do happen here but not as much as they should. That is why I love Artos Ministries, The Father’s Touch, and Bethel Church, and my home Church the Vineyard Community Church in Laguna Niguel. Signs, wonders, and Miracles happen at these places all the time.

I feel a burning deep inside my inner man to pray for anyone who needs physical healing of any kind. Please email me and let me know what I can pray for. Holy Spirit come! Sickness of any kind I command you to be gone!

Neal



This Friday Night May 28th Meeting with the Holy Spirit 7PM at Robinwood Church. Address-5082 Argosy Avenue, Huntington Beach, CA 92649-1012

We will be digging a well this Friday night that streams of living water would flow out of you as you drink and eat of Him. His blood is real drink and His flesh is real bread. He is the bread that came down from heaven. Many of us our emaciated in our spirit man and woman because we have not eaten of Him. He has prepared a table it is always before us but we have not learned to come and eat and be strengthened by Him. We have so much principle but so little presence. Fear keeps many away from the table of the King which is your inheritance. We have learned to divide so well on things that don’t matter and we separate His body in denominations and groups where we proclaim we are of “Paul or Apollo’s, just like the scripture said of the Corinthians. What is man that you would follow any man? We must learn to honor and love one another for His name sake. He is not divided. We our to meet whenever we can in wherever the lord has you in fellowship, this is not a call to leave a body but a call to come and drink and eat and be filled with the Holy Spirit and take Him back with you to bless others right where they are at.

What if the Holy Spirit started showing up in our meetings and gatherings, how quickly would the world change through His body. He is hungry for us but He won’t violate our will if we continue to be satisfied with less we will have what we desire. But if you desire Him and have to have Him and see His gospel displayed through you in word, deed and power by the Holy Sprit He will come upon you because you are His body, you belong to Him. There is a call to a unity in Him, to learn to love others, to honor people as His, to give away our lives for this Christ will manifest in you and me. We have been doing church for so long without the Holy Spirit it is hard to imagine what it would look like with Him in our midst. We are beginning to taste and know that He is good but there is so much more. There is real life in Him. When He is in our midst, healing happens, joy springs forth, deliverance and we know Him by presence as His word has declared.

May your options run out and all that is left is a desire for Him that you must have Him for nothing else is working. May our culture of options, agendas yield to Him as we put the King first and His kingdom and you will have the desires of your heart that is His word. I bless you with a hunger and a thirst that can only be satisfied by eating at His table exactly what you were created for. You are called to manifest the works of God by believing in the one He sent, Jesus the anointed one. We preach the cross and Christ crucified for Jesus is the power of God and wisdom personified and He lives in you if you know Him not in theory but in reality of your every day life. Many are receiving the gifts and being touched for the purpose of displaying His goodness to a world in great need of our savior.

May the Holy Sprit increase in you the desire for Him that you would eat and drink the fullness of Christ in you the hope of glory.

Blessings,

John

More Holy Spirit, More, More

Monday, 24. May 2010 14:29

Yo! What’s up guys. The site blew up yesterday with over 1,000 page views. The Holy Spirit was definitely on the move. Thank you for checking in. I received an email asking for me to write more on the Holy Spirit, signs, wonders, and miracles but I have a book I highly recommend you pick up today called “The Power, What It Is, How To Get It Now, How To Release It” by James Bramlett. I can’t put this book down and this book really explains the Holy Spirit in a simple way.

James Bramlett explains the 3 different relationships with the Holy Spirit which really made a lot of sense to me. The first is before you were a born again believer the Holy Spirit was “with you”, when I accepted Jesus into my heart the Holy Spirit was now “in me” and then a few days after Jesus ascension to heaven the Holy Spirit came “on” or “upon” me and we received power(Acts 1:8).

On page 57 are the steps to receiving the baptism with the Holy Spirit.
Step1-Find God’s will, scripture Acts 2:39, Ephesians 5:18
Step 2-Ask, Luke 11:9, 1 John 5:14-15
Step 3-Believe, Mark 11:24
Step 4-Receive, Mark 11:24, 1 John 5:14-15
Step 5-Act, Acts 2:4, 19:6

Look up those verses and say Jesus baptize and empower me with your Holy Spirit, and for your Holy Spirit to come upon me right now. I receive by faith. In Chapter 5 the book explains how the power is used but you can read the book of Acts right now to see how the Holy Spirit was moving.

If you would like to start a personal relationship with Jesus, the Savior of the world who died on the Cross for our sins and sicknesses click here. Once you do that the Holy Spirit will be “in” you. If you pray the salvation prayer please leave a comment below or email me as I would love to pray for you and answer any question you may have.

Fired Up For Saddleback Church, Come Holy Spirit

Sunday, 23. May 2010 13:29

Make sure to read Acts chapter 1 and 2

Today is Pentecost Sunday and as you read yesterday I have been doing a lot of reading on the Holy Spirit. My parents go to Saddleback(I also attended their for many years) and they mentioned Pastor Rick Warren would be teaching on “Real Christianity, The Model Of The First Church” so the title kind of peeked my interest and I became fired up as I have been praying that Saddleback would embrace all that the Holy Spirit has for them. Pastor Rick said he wanted Saddleback Church to get back to doing what the first Church was doing during the Churches first 300 years. He mentioned the first church started on Pentecost Sunday when the Holy Spirit fell upon the 120 persons who had gathered in the upper room and after Peter’s sermon 3,000 people were saved.

In Acts Chapter 2:43 it says,” everyone kept feeling a sense of awe; and many wonders and signs were taking place through the apostles. Yes Peter’s sermon probably cut their hearts wide open to who Jesus is and now who the Holy Spirit is but whenever Jesus was out preaching and teaching there was always healings to follow and now that is what t the apostles were doing. That is why you hear me always talk about healing, signs, wonders, and miracles all the time. Healings, signs, wonders and miracles are also for today but what I have found is most churches do not touch this subject. So 3,000 people were saved but I am willing to bet when the healings started and peoples eye sight came back, disease disappeared, and the crippled walked masses probably fell on their knees asking Jesus into their heart as Lord and Savior.

In Acts 1:8 it says,” but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth” and in1 Corinthians 4:20,”for the Kingdom of God does not consist in words but in power”. The word power in the Greek is called “Dunamis”. The Enhanced Strong’s Lexicon defines Dunamis as strength, power, power for performing miracles, and in the Dictionary of Biblical Domains defines Dunamis as mighty deed, supernatural power, ability.

What am I trying to say here? I am saying we as born again Christians who have the Holy Spirit in us can do what the first Church was doing when Jesus was alive and after he died on the Cross, rose again and is now sitting at the right hand of God.

When Jesus was comforting his disciples in John chapter 14 he said in verse 12,” truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes In me, the works that I do, he will do also, and greater works than these he will do, because I go to the father. HELLO!. In Matthew chapter 10 Jesus gives his 12 disciples authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and heal every kind of disease and sickness. In Verse 7 Jesus says,”as you go, preach, saying, The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. Freely you received, freely give. Mark chapter 6 and chapter 16, also talk about how Jesus sent out the 70 to preach and heal and it talks about the great commission.

The gifts of the Spirit are in 1 Corinthians 12 and they are wisdom, word of knowledge, faith, gifts of healing, the effecting of miracles, prophecy, distinguishing of spirits, various kind of tongues, interpretation of tongues. In veres 11 it says,” but one and the same spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually just as he wills”. This is why being plugged into a Church is so important as each person has different gifts and we are a team using them for God’s purposes.

In conclusion this is a hard subject to blog on as I could go on for pages and but pray for all Churches would have a blast of the Holy Spirit come through just like on Pentecost where believers are refreshed, people are saved, the sick are healed and revival breaks out across the world.

Please leave a comment below or email me anytime if you have any questions.

Baptsim In The Holy Spirit

Saturday, 22. May 2010 10:22

I have been doing alot of reading on the Holy Spirit and signs, wonders, and miracles the last couple of weeks and it’s blowing my mind. My mom reminded me that tomorrow is Pentecost Sunday so I have been re-reading Acts chapter 1 and 2 which describes what Pentecost is all about and what the Holy Spirit did on that day. I encourage you all to look up all verses on the Holy Spirit and signs, wonders, and miracles and know that what you read is also for today.

As soon as I finish this post I am also going to read about an unbelievable missionary and healer by the name of John G. Lake. His healing ministry began in the late 1890′s. He did alot of ministry in South Africa but in the United States 100,000 healings were recorded in 5 years at the Lake healing rooms in Spokane, Washington and Dr. Ruthlidege of Washington, D.C., callled Spokane, Washington, the healthiest city in the world as a result. That is what I mean by signs, wonders, and miracles.

I encourage you to also google some of these words and learn more. I have some notes I am going to review this weekend after doing some research this past week and if you want the information as well throw me an email and I will send you the notes on the Holy Spirit, signs, wonders, and miracles. I am off to read.

Dreams

Friday, 21. May 2010 15:31

The weekend has finally arrived. Last night I had a crazy dream. I have been asking the Lord to speak to me in a 2 areas of my life more clearly so I prayed for him to show me through visions and dreams. So last night I woke up at about 3:43am after meeting Rick Warren Pastor of Saddleback Church in Lake Forest California in my dream. I don’t know about you but I always wonder what dreams mean. So here is what happened. In my dream I was with some friends in my truck and I had some old friends from High School in another truck. Anytime I dream about someone I know, I immediately pray for that person right in the moment even if it’s in the middle of the night. I often have people come to mind out of no where and I know it is for a reason. Back to my dream. I was driving on a wet, muddy hill and I couldn’t find my way out because my truck wasn’t powerful enough to get out but my friend in the other truck made it out.

The next thing I know I am trying to cross a freeway and I am riding a razor, one of those 2 wheel scooter things and there are cars coming at high speeds and I am dodging them so I don’t get hit and I am very tired. Once I make it across to the other side I come across Jamie Fox the famous actor/singer and he is talking to a homeless guy so I pray for him. I thought that was kind of random to see him. Once I pass him it’s now about 3:43am and I run into my parents and sister and they are with Pastor Rick Warren from Saddleback Church. He walks up to me and he introduced himself and I said it’s an honor to meet you and shook his hand. It felt like I was on some sort of journey then I immediately woke up.

It could me nothing but it could be something. I like to dream big so please pray for revelation in this area and please pray for my “big dreams” which I do not want to mention quite yet. I know the Lord speaks to us in many ways and I do not want to miss anything he is telling me. Lord please open my ears and eyes to what you want me to do for the Kingdom. I also pray for all who are reading this today and in the future that you will guide them on how to use their gifts for the Kingdom and to open their eyes to who Jesus is and what he did for us on the Cross.

If you do not have a personal relationship with Jesus please click here to learn more. Please email me if you have any questions on who God is, Jesus or the Holy Spirit. Enjoy your evening.

Neal
