For the last three weeks I have had the honor to preach at the Congregational Church in American Falls. This was such an awesome experience because of the opportunity to submit to God and just allow Him to do what ever He wanted. It was the first time I have been able to teach a series and I pray it won't be the last. My series was titled "Capturing your Destiny". I pray that a few of the people did. I am so blessed to have so many people that pray for me and encourage me as I am able to step out and bring the Word of God. Our last Sunday was a great accumulation of our time, the congregation was close to twice what it was the first Sunday and God certainly honored the prayers that were lifted up. On the way there my wife and I talked about the manifest glory of the presents of God and how rare that is and how we hoped that He would show Himself in that way to this church. Well He did not let us down, my wife said that at times she had to ask herself who was preaching! Also she said that a couple of times she could see what looked to be a white cloud or mist to my side. Wow! A Glory Cloud!?! Anyway when we were finished and greeting the people at the door one young man said that his life would never be the same and several others said they were deeply moved and touched by God. How awesome when a man can be used to touch the soul of the people in this way. I thank you for your prayers and pray that many more of these supernatural opportunities come my way!
God Bless!!!

Love is the answer
Take a moment today and enjoy the love that God has for you. To not believe in Christ is just plain silly because He believes so much in you! You may have spiritual gifts that you are taking for granted or just not using and that is a shame. You are a special person, a gift from God to this world. If you surrender to Christ it is not going to be a bad thing, it will be the best thing! Gods love for you is so complete that even while you have your back turned to Him He is still working on ways to get your attention. Wow, the creator of all things wanting your love and attention. That's amazing, you are amazing and God loves you and wants you to get to know Him today. Just tell Him that you re ready, that you believe in Christ (you already do), and you want all the love and blessing He has for you. Easy, now just spend a little time each day talking to Him and reading out of His Word the Holy Bible. You best life is still to come.

Protecting Yours
If you are a believer and you are pushing into the things of the Kingdom one thing you can expect is opposition from the enemy. Satan hates anyone who has given the Lord control of their life and is willing to do whatever is asked of them in order to fulfill their destiny. The work of the enemy can come in many shapes, If he cannot discourage you then he will go after those who are important in your life that do not have the same relationship and understanding of the Kingdom.
2 timothy 2:22-26 Amplified Bible (AMP)
22Shun youthful lusts and flee from them, and aim at and pursue righteousness (all that is virtuous and good, right living, conformity to the will of God in thought, word, and deed); [and aim at and pursue] faith, love, [and] peace (harmony and concord with others) in fellowship with all [Christians], who call upon the Lord out of a pure heart. 23But refuse (shut your mind against, have nothing to do with) trifling (ill-informed, unedifying, stupid) controversies over ignorant questionings, for you know that they foster strife and breed quarrels. 24And the servant of the Lord must not be quarrelsome (fighting and contending). Instead, he must be kindly to everyone and mild-tempered [preserving the bond of peace]; he must be a skilled and suitable teacher, patient and forbearing and willing to suffer wrong. 25He must correct his opponents with courtesy and gentleness, in the hope that God may grant that they will repent and come to know the Truth [that they will perceive and recognize and become accurately acquainted with and acknowledge it], 26And that they may come to their senses [and] escape out of the snare of the devil, having been held captive by him, [henceforth] to do His [God's] will.
This scripture lets us know that there will be difficult times, we must not fall into the temptation to fight and argue, but to allow the power of God to help us to live out our destiny! Go for it!
Great exploits await!!
