Dear friends\brothers&sisters\fellow ministers in Christ,
I want to share with you the word of the Lord as given to me for 2010 this week in prayer. I believe if we will put these 3 words in practice with fresh zeal and purpose this new year (and even decade) will be the greatest we have ever seen in the history of the church. (all 3 come from 2 Chron 6-9)

1. Prayer- 2 Chron. 6-7 “Then Solomon prayed…” WOW! Wouldn’t that be something if the church returned back to prayer both privately and corporately? The intense seeking of God’s face that is not a token gesture or a religious ritual. The type of prayer that Elijah prayed that caused the rain to come after a 3 year drought. The kind of prayer that Hezekiah prayed when God added 15 years to his life. The bold and disciplined kind of prayer Daniel prayed when he opened his window toward Jerusalem and prayed for restoration of Israel in the face of the lion’s den. The type of prayer that Jesus lived in His life and ministry (ending with His prayer at Gethsemane and Calvary). May God began to breathe a fresh wind of His Spirit upon the remnant of saints and churn within us a insatiable desire to be with the Master!

2. Work- 2 Chron. 8 God has called us to work for Him. Not for salvation but because of His glorious grace found only in Christ Jesus. The harvest is so great and the time is now! Be a laborer for Him that is mature and equipped for every good work. You will not nor can not accomplish this mandate without being a disciple! I see 2 things given to us for this mandate. First it says, “It took Solomon 20 years to BUILD…” We are not working to form our own little kingdoms or for the sake of our own personal needs but, like Nehemiah’s wall, we are all to build the same Kingdom and must do so under the plan of God’s Word and the supervision of God’s Spirit. Second, “Solomon also FOUGHT…” God has called us to fight the good fight of faith and walk in the victory of Calvary. Don’t wrestle against people and mistake the battle as being in the natural. Fight against your adversary the devil with the mighty spiritual weapons and armor that we have been given. The time to build and fight is NOW! Don’t wait for perfection but be daily discipled so that you may step out into the arena of battle you are called to.

3. Wisdom- 2 Chron. 9:7 How happy your people must be! What a privilege for your officials to stand here day after day, listening to your WISDOM! Now that greater communion with Jesus and the assignment of the Father are in focus we can move to our personal lives. It is time for the people of God to step into the wisdom of God for our lives. God has given me 5 words that articulate the new level we must all aspire to.
a. Health- vs. 4 She was amazed at the food on his tables. It is time for us to take care of the vessel that we have been given so we can be fruitful for Jesus and live a long life of service for Him. Don’t be super-spiritual or ignorant concerning your body and the importance of physical well-being.
b. Order- “organization of his officials” There is a desperate need for divine order in the lives of believers. From proper alignment with spiritual authority to time management we can all move to another level of effectiveness in Christ.
c. Look- “Their splendid clothing” Don’t think that as a believer you can look like a slob and be an ambassador of reconciliation! (you can but wont be very effective) Take initiative to be presentable and not excusing your outward appearance. This is not to bring attention but to keep from being a distraction as a witness of Christ. Would Jesus be sloppy? NO! Take pride in your witness for Christ and be excellent in every area of personal hygiene, clothes clean and ironed, and presentable hair cut.
d. Sacrifice- “and the burnt offerings Solomon made at the Temple of the Lord” Don’t just give God what is left over or what is convenient for your schedule. Be willing to make sacrifices to be at church EVERY Sunday and be a part of serving Him in ways that have been “impossible” up till now. He demands our best and the best never comes without sacrifice!
e. Stewardship- vs. 9,12 “The she gave the king” “King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba whatever she asked for–gifts of greater value than the gifts she had given him.” This is a year where God’s people are going to learn how to give extravagantly. You will never out give God! Even though the queen gave Solomon the largest gift ever given she still walked away with more! What a picture of what God wants to do in your life this year to come! This is all so you can continue to be a blessing and support world missions so Jesus’ matchless name will be heard by the waiting billions.
Prayer: Lord Jesus, bring us closer to you, help us work hard in the harvest fields, and give us supernatural wisdom in our lives. Forgive us for complacency in any of these areas and give us renewed passion for You and the work You have given us. Continue to pour out your unmerited favor and blessing on our lives and use us despite ourselves. Deliver us from apathy and release us into priorities of truth and righteousness. Remove all distractions to the life of humility and holiness. Destroy anything that would preoccupy our energies and attention from the ultimate goal of eternal life. Your Kingdom come and Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven in 2010!!!

Couldn’t have said it better myself! This ridiculous show has boldly proclaimed to be about idolatry and has definitely followed it up! The church ought to take a note from them and get bolder about who we are and what we are going to do. Other than the obvious choice of lesbian Ellen Degenerate for a new place on the judges panel (coming this new season) there is something that has greatly offended my spirit and grieved the Holy Spirit in our nation. The open display of Adam Lambert’s homosexual kissing and other insinuations (that I will not even mention, Paul said not to even speak of what the wicked do Eph. 5:12) on national television. Upon being asked about his open display of abominable wickedness he stated, “It’s time for America to quit being so homophobic and get over it!”

Im going to say right here and now that i will NEVER get over it! There will never be point where i accept men kissing men or women kissing each other. I didn’t accept it when Madonna and Brittany Spears did it and there will never be a tolerant bone in my body for the sin that angers God the most. Yes, the most! He hates murder but He is pushed to rage and violent destruction over sodomy (just look for the town and see how God felt). I think it is prophetic that Sodom is buried under the Dead Sea where no life can exist because those who persist in homosexuality without repentance will end up buried by God’s eternal wrath and will never see the light of His glory.

Today is a day of mourning and grief for me to see the state of our nation as it makes great strides to degradation and the exaltation of wickedness. For you young people reading this (the audience i am writing to) please know that no matter how cool, funny, or “gay” the media and Hollywood would try to make homosexuality it is abominable! God despises it. Read Gen. 19 and see the wickedness of the men of Sodom toward the angels of God. There was total disrespect of all divine authority and the result was the total judgment of all involved.

Many of you who read this blog would definitely agree with me but the sad thing is that many of the “men of God” today are so busy trying to kiss up to everyone in order to get a bigger ministry or church that they refuse to speak out on this most dangerous sin in our nation. Any man of God who refuses to stand up for righteousness and even kowtows to the forces of darkness for sake of relevance and tolerance should be completely ignored and disregarded as sent by God (even if they say, “its not my ministry or its not my place to judge”). It is our place to judge sin as sin according to the Word of God. It is ultimately a sign of the pagan agenda the enemy has been sowing in the minds of our youth since 1967. I reject it! I refute it! I stand on the Word of God and boldly declare that as long as there is breath in this body I will oppose the spirit of sodomy and any other spirit of the enemy that would try and destroy the Church of Jesus Christ. Oh, and preachers, don’t think that the gay agenda will stop with rights. Once they get their way with their so-called rights they will turn their full attention to destroying anyone and everyone who opposes their lifestyle. They do not want tolerance! They want approval and applause and will stop at nothing to get it. They know God despises their lifestyle so they demand the approval of man.

I close this blog by saying that every prophet in the OT had one message, RETURN to GOD! This is my heart today. We cannot just point out the bad but must continue to preach the message of Jesus, REPENT, for the Kingdom of God is at hand! Mark 1:15

Hosea 9:8 The prophet is a watchmen over Israel for my God, yet traps are laid for him wherever he goes. He faces hostility even in the house of God.
