(From the Minister's Heart)
The Outer Limits - to go where no Christian minister has gone before and to touch down at our Twilight Zone.
I Corinthians 2:9-11
But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
***There are places God want us to reach if we will only allow Him to use us in the Spiritual rims. To go to a higher height and another level in Him. To do that we must use His Spiritual Blessings.
Nine Fruits of the Spirit
Love - Joy - Peace - Longsuffering - Gentleness - Goodness - Faith - Meekness, Temperance: against such there is no law.
Nine Spiritual Gifts
Word of wisdom - Word of knowledge by the same spirit.
Faith - Gifts of healing - Working of miracles - Prophecy - Discerning of spirits - Divers kinds of tongues Interpretation of tongues:
These spiritual gifts and fruits of the spirit are used to edify the body of Christ. When God has a mission for us to perform, He appoints, anoints and prepares us to carry it out , as He has done with future leaders in the Church. He tells us to stir up the gift within us; and to do the work of an Evangelist. He said He would never leave or forsake us; He will be with us to perform it. This is His promise to us.
Many times we go through many testes and trials to continue the work He left behind for us to perform. Many times we may have to walk alone. Always remember He is carrying us through as He promised.
When we have done all we can do in performing His mission He says, "Stand when everything else fail.
The battle is not ours it is the Lord's. Just keep still and see the salvation of the Lord. Know that He is God."
Lets continue to go to the Outer Limits within His spirit, and touch down within our Twilight Zone.
Until we meet again - soon.

Living By Godly Rules
In the beginning God had promised his people, starting with Abraham, the Promised Land, A Land of Milk and Honey. God charged Moses to lead the Israelites out of Egypt into the desert to worship Him, from there across the Red Sea with God's help. God promise to Moses was to be obedient, strong and of good courage and He will always be with Him to lead him.
After Moses' death God charged Joshua to be the new leader of the Israelites; to lead them across Jordan River into the Promised Land. The same promise He made to Moses He also made it to Joshua. Telling him to be strong and of good courage, etc. Although both leaders went through many battles and challenges to possess the lands God was always with them to be victorious.
Joshua 1:7-9
Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.
This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shall meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
Joshua 1:16
And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou commandest us we will do, and whithersover thou sendest us, we will go.
Obedience to their leaders played an important part in them possessing the land victorously as God had planned. Through all their murmuring and complaining against Moses God continued to lead them as He promised. After they endured for a while with Joshua, and continued to see God work through him they began to have more faith and be obedient.
Obedience is better than sacrafice; Lets continue to be obedient using Godly Rules.

Leaders Of Today
(Dialogue Question)
Are we, Leaders of today, prepared to be good leaders, or are we lead astray ourselves?
Are we doing what the bible says do concerning our lives, or are we scarcely going to make it to heaven?
Jeremiah 1:5,9-10
Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
Then the Lord put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the lord said unto me, Behold I have put my words in thy mouth.
See, I have this day set thee over nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.
*** God told us to occupy until He returns, because we do not know the day or hour in which the son of man shall appear.
Have we been pushed so far back in the world, and set aside in the church that we rather follow instead of lead?
***God tells us, "Only be strong and very courageous that we may observe to do according to all the law. Turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that we may prosper where ever we go, according to Joshua 1:7
Lets continue to meditate and stay in the word of God to be prosperous, so that we may occupy until He returns.

A Sound Mind
(From The Minister's Heart)
I Timothy 1:7
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but or power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
***Paul is speaking to us today as he spoke to Timothy, his beloved son many years ago.Telling us to stir up the gift that God has given us on the inside..
When situations and events in our life do not turn out the way they should we must not be fearful or afraid of what may happen next. We should use the gift of prayer in us so that God can intervene on our behalf.
In the book of Acts it says, when the Holy Ghost come upon us we have power. Power to speak things into being; and call those things that are not as though they were."
Showing our love for one another as God shows His love for us at all times changes or takes away many confrontations that we would have dealt with, with our brethren.
***Difficult situations get us down, causes us to worry and sometimes go into a depressive mode. This should not happen in cases dealing with children of God. When we have situations that are hard to handle, instead of looking at the situations, we will be looking toward God to handle them. When our mind is stayed on our Lord He keeps us in perfect peace. This is what causes us to have a sound mind, and within that mind- unspeakable joy and love that beareth all things.
When we can not do anything else in trouble times - we can stand on the word of God, after we have done all that we can do naturally.
Lets continue to have the mind of Christ - A sound mind stayed on the Lord.

A Mission Done Well
Joshua 1:1b -3
The Lord spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying,
Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel.
Every place that he sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses.
***After Moses' death God commanded Joshua to become the new leader and continue to lead his people as Moses did. Joshua's mission was to lead the people across the Jordan River to the Promise Land, a land of milk and honey.
*** God's other commandment to Joshua was to strong and of good courage; to meditate in His word day and night to be prosperous; He would not fail or leave him.
*** This is the commandment and promise that God make to leaders in the Church today: to be lead by the Holy Spirit; to continually meditate in His word; and to carry out His mission. If we continue to do what God called us to do and keep His commandments He will continue to lead, be with us and keep us from all harm and danger.
*** God knows that there is a battle that has to be fault, and a victory that needs to be won. A race that has to be ran. The race is not given to the swift or strong but the one that endure to the end.
*** By obeying God, Joshua was able to take over all the land, hills and country that he walked on by winning the battle against other nations.
Joshua 11:23
So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that the Lord said unto Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance unto Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. And the land rested from war.
Lets continue to carry out God's mission by obeying and meditating in His word.

First Things First
(Dialogue Question)
Do we always put First things first; do we do things decently and in order, or do we do what comes natural?
Many times we put our Job, career, education, things and money in front of God.
Matthew 6:33,34 & Luke 12:31
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
***God will give us everything we need to live if we put Him first in our life, in front of all our needs. He owns the world and all inhabitants therein. What father loves his children and let them suffer for things? He promised us, He would not hold any good thing from us.
***Don't worry about tomorrow because it is not promised to us. God is the one that holds our future in His hands. If he watches over and feeds the fowls of the air how much more will He take care of us, His children.
Think about the lilies of the field, how they grow; they don't toil or spin.
***The love of money is the root of all evil. It will lead us astray from the path of God.It leads us to many sins, according to the bible.
***The General rule Is:
God first - People second - Things last.
God first created us, His people - for His good pleasure - to enjoy things.
Lets put God first in our life, by casting our cares on Him, because He first cared for us.

Holy Ghost Season Is Here
(From The Minister's Heart)
Holy Ghost Season is here again. We can feel it in our walk, we can feel it in our talk, we can feel the Holy Ghost all over us.
God is doing a new thing in this day and time to draw men and women closer to him through His word.
There are important things we must do to be led by His Holy Spirit (Ghost):Pray-much prayer, much power. Read his word daily - the engrafted word will penetrate our hearts and minds, and carry us through the day.
Meditate on his word - to get an insight, revelation and comprehend what God is saying to us.
Isaiah 43: 18,19
Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.
Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
God says, "we are precious in his sight, we have honoured Him, and He love us". He is always with us.
When we go through the storm of life He is there carrying us. He will protect us as He protected and provided for the Hebrew children. His precious gift of the Holy Spirit will lead and guide us to all truth and righteousness. It will bring back to our remembrance what Jesus has told us.
Many times God does a new thing in revealing things to us: Sometimes it is through revelation by reading His word; through prophecy, by hearing preaching and teaching in Church or on the Radio or TV, and sometimes through dreams and visions.
***The closer we get to God by communicating with Him through His word, the more we are able to give ourselves back to Him so that He can use us for His glory.
Lets be in a position so Jesus can lead us all the way from earth to glory - when the time comes.
Holy Ghost Season time is here again - so lets get in a hurry to do His will - so He can reveal Himself to us in a new way, by doing many new things in our life.
Until we meet again soon.
