About Me

My photo
Today, I am a Minister of the Gospel; however, that was not always the case. As a younger man, I found out that I was good at getting in trouble, and for a while, I thought that was fun... until... There's always that moment, especially when you live the life I was living at one time, when you realize that there is a choice to make, one direction leads towards the light, while the other, darkness. Fear consumed me, fear of an early death, or a life without meaning; however, life through a curve ball, and I knew that this was that moment, would I choose the darkness, or would I rest in the cool rays of the morning light. Believe it or not, that can be a tougher decision than one might imagine; however, purely by God's Grace, I walked into the light, and my life has never been the same... The overly Sufficient Grace of God, the Prayers of a Crying mother, the Word of a loving father, combined with the respect, and stern encouragement from a friend that stuck closer than a brother... And, here I am today! God is Faithful... Trust me. taste and see, the Lord is Good....

By The Word

Indecision, confusion, fear... These are just three of the exponential number of tools the enemy of your soul has used, and will continue to use against you, me, and the multitude of others that he has sought to steal from, kill, and destroy...

What? Why so surprised? Jesus tells us Himself in John 10:10 that the enemy literally and figuratively wants to destroy you... Not just mess up your day, or make us feel a little down from time to time, but He wants to kill us all! he desires to steal our futures, and destroy every bit of faith, and every single dream the Lord has deposited within us...

So, how do we get through this? What tools do we have in our arsenal to counter the attack of satan and his minions on our lives? Well, we have the full armor of God as found in Ephesians chapter six, we have the Name, the Blood, the Word, and the Holy Ghost, and all of these are Great Tools, However, we have something else...

Revelation 12:11
...they overcame him by the Blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony...

Wow, we have yet another tool to defeat the enemy! and it is so simple! All we do is remind the enemy of past the victories in our lives... We remind him that although he attacked our minds, our bodies, our families, and our friends, we overcame him! We resist him, and he flees because he now knows that within us is the knowledge that we've already beaten him once... and if we can do it once... we can do it twice, or three times... All we have to do, is begin to speak and share with others, what the Lord has done for us…


Now, from this point forward, we will have all of the tools necessary to defeat the devil, his minions, and all evilness that he has planned against us... Simply by using what the Lord has already given you at the cross... His Body, His Blood, and His Victory over death... His Resurrection, the Power of the Holy Ghost, and the voice God gave us when he breathed life into our lungs at the beginning of  time... BUT, in order to attain this victory for ourselves, we need to declare that our Faith in God, and His finished work at the cross has paid the price for our Freedom, we need to declare to others that God has done the miraculous for us... No more are we bound, because by the word of our testimony, we are made free... God Bless...
