What’s up everyone? You may have noticed the last couple weeks that I have not been posting as much as I usually do. I am kind of burned out on the whole blogging thing but during my quiet time this morning once I read the verses below I knew I needed to post them for you to read. Believe me, I need to read them again and again as well. Jesus is always after us but as you know we all have free will to choose Him as our Lord and Savior. So whatever sin is holding you back, the sin you are thinking about right now that you know you need to address, repent, and heal from can be cleaned out right now. The Healers name is Jesus Christ and click here to learn more about Him. If you make this decision please let me know. In JESUS their is FREEDOM!

1 Oh, what joy for those
whose disobedience is forgiven,
whose sin is put out of sight!
2 Yes, what joy for those
whose record the Lord has cleared of guilt,[b]
whose lives are lived in complete honesty!
3 When I refused to confess my sin,
my body wasted away,
and I groaned all day long.
4 Day and night your hand of discipline was heavy on me.
My strength evaporated like water in the summer heat.
5 Finally, I confessed all my sins to you
and stopped trying to hide my guilt.
I said to myself, “I will confess my rebellion to the Lord.”
And you forgave me! All my guilt is gone.

8 The Lord says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life.
I will advise you and watch over you.
9 Do not be like a senseless horse or mule
that needs a bit and bridle to keep it under control.”

The following was speaking to me during my quiet this morning. I hope it speaks to you.

Psalm 23:4, Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I WILL NOT BE AFRAID, for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me.

Psalm 27:1, The Lord is my light and my salvation-SO WHY SHOULD I BE AFRAID? The Lord is my fortress, protecting me from danger, SO WHY SHOULD I TREMBLE?

Verse 3, Though a mighty army surrounds me, MY HEART WILL NOT BE AFRAID. Even if I am attacked, I will remain confident.

In the mighty name of Jesus I come against any spirit of fear that is trying to take anyone down at this moment. BE GONE! 2 Timothy 1:7 says, For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.

Walk in that freedom today.

Good morning everyone. I went to Saddleback Church last night and Pastor Rick led an amazing service honoring everyone who was effected by 9/11. You can click here to watch a live service today or watch the archived service sometime this week. Let’s all continue to pray for them and pray for revival across the world.

On another note I have been reading the Bible quite a bit the last few days especially in 1st and 2nd Timothy. I encourage you to do the same and see where the Lord leads you. If you do not have a Bible click here and read whatever version is best for you. I like the New Living Translation as it is easier to read and understand.

See where God is working in your life and join in.

2 Timothy 3:1-5 The Dangers of the Last Days
1 You should know this, Timothy, that in the last days there will be very difficult times. 2 For people will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred. 3 They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self-control. They will be cruel and hate what is good. 4 They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God. 5 They will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly. Stay away from people like that!

Good morning world. You are all prayed up for the day. COME LORD JESUS!

2 Timothy 2:22-26
22 Run from anything that stimulates youthful lusts. Instead, pursue righteous living, faithfulness, love, and peace. Enjoy the companionship of those who call on the Lord with pure hearts. 23 Again I say, don’t get involved in foolish, ignorant arguments that only start fights. 24 A servant of the Lord must not quarrel but must be kind to everyone, be able to teach, and be patient with difficult people. 25 Gently instruct those who oppose the truth. Perhaps God will change those people’s hearts, and they will learn the truth. 26 Then they will come to their senses and escape from the devil’s trap. For they have been held captive by him to do whatever he wants.

2 Timothy 1:7. “For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self discipline.”

Matt 9:29. “According to your faith will it be done to you.”

Mark 9:23. “Everything is possible for him who believes.”

Let me know how I can pray for you.

Good morning Neal To The Crossers! Let the following words sink deep into your inner man. The Lord is ALL THAT WE NEED. Let me know if you have any prayer requests. I am ready to pray without ceasing.

Psalm 23
A psalm of David.
1 The Lord is my shepherd;
I have all that I need.
2 He lets me rest in green meadows;
he leads me beside peaceful streams.
3 He renews my strength.
He guides me along right paths,
bringing honor to his name.
4 Even when I walk
through the darkest valley,[a]
I will not be afraid,
for you are close beside me.
Your rod and your staff
protect and comfort me.
5 You prepare a feast for me
in the presence of my enemies.
You honor me by anointing my head with oil.
My cup overflows with blessings.
6 Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me
all the days of my life,
and I will live in the house of the Lord
forever.

I have been reading the book of Acts this week and it always amazes me how God can use simple, ordinary people with no special training to do His work in mighty and powerful ways. People were being healed and saved in large numbers just because they were stepping out in boldness and faith in the name of Jesus.

In Chapter 4, Peter filled with the Holy Spirit healed a crippled man and was preaching and teaching, and verse 13 says “the members of the council were amazed whey they saw the boldness of Peter and John, for they could see they were ordinary men with no special training in the scriptures. They also recognized them as men who had been with Jesus.”

In chapter 6 Stephen, “a man full of God’s grace and power, performed amazing miracles and signs among the people” was arrested and was standing in front of the high council. Verse 15 says, “at this point everyone in the high council stared at Stephen, because his face became as bright as an angel’s.”

So what am I trying to say? The first thing you need to do is ask Jesus into your heart as Lord and Savior. Realize you need a Savior and that you are a sinner. That was an eye opener for me in 1996. Then the same Holy Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead will now be in you.

Once that happens he will take you right where you are at this moment and use you in mighty ways for the Kingdom. You do not have to be some great speaker, Bible scholar, evangelist to touch peoples lives. You just have to use the gifts YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN specific to YOU no matter how small you might think they are. We all have a job to do for team Jesus.

Wherever I go I always ask the Lord for people to recognize that I am different just like how people stared at Stephen because his face was bright as an angel’s. I don’t know how you feel but if I saw someone whose face was bright as an angel’s I would go over and ask how I could get some of that as well. People can tell you are born again not just by what you say, but by also what you do. People are always watching.

So much devastation going on right now. WE NEED TO PRAY RIGHT NOW WITHOUT CEASING. I was telling my parents today how it has really been on my heart to pray for a time of peace and healing across the globe as so many scary things are happening. The tornadoes in Missouri have taken alot of lives and destroyed everything in it’s sight. We need a time of rest. Please come Father God and bring your rest, healing, and hope. My mom brought up the verse 2 Chronicles 7:14 which I have pasted below. This verse really spoke to me. I know I have alot of work to do in my life and I encourage you to do the same.

Imagine what would happen if we ALL fully gave our life to the King in everything we do and in everything we say. More of Him and less of us. It would change everything.

Neal

2 Chronicles 7:14
14 Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land.

I mentioned the other day that I am pretty burned out on blogging at the moment as I have 3 websites and sometimes I just need to take a break from it all. But, then I got home this afternoon and clicked on my mom’s blog Ginny’s Garden Art and felt so full of joy and hope that I had to write you all so you could read it to. The last 18 years my mom has been on an up and down roller coaster will her health and if you are dealing with any kind of health issue or any issue at all then click here so you can be full of hope, joy, and healing as well.

The signs, wonders, and miracles that the Bible talks about are real for today as well. The last couple weeks I have really been praying and pressing in for the Lord to really show the world that He is the Healer by using TV, internet, dreams, visions, public displays of miracles so that people could not deny who He is. The time is near and the signs, wonders, and miracles that happen all the time in other countries are going to happen here on a regular basis where it will become the norm to see someone’s eye sight restored, people raised from the dead, limbs growing back, disease disappearing, mass salvations and whatever else you can think of.

You think I am crazy for saying this? Well, you would be right! I am crazy-for Jesus. Please let me know how I can pray for you and make sure to read my moms words inspired by the Holy Spirit. I know the words will give you hope and peace and you could even be healed right this moment.

Come King Jesus. Show them who you are.

John 3:16-17
16 “For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. 17 God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him.

Enough said people. JESUS is the SAVIOR of the WORLD. To learn more about Jesus on this Good Friday and ask him into your heart as Lord and Savior click here. If you make that choice today or in the future please let me know so I can pray over you and rejoice with you.
