I want to thank all of the people of influence the Lord has strategically placed in my life . Your work has not gone in vain.
The more I think about how Jesus chose me when I was born- the more I become so grateful because I am nothing apart from Him. I am a noone apart from Jesus living in my heart. He is the "bread and butter" that makes my sandwich. He is all I am. I am completely gone IN HIM.
You know, the more I think about how reliant I am on God, the more I realize how much more I need Him in my life split moment. I want to live for Him much more than I am now, but that comes with the territory when having an unquenchable hunger for Him. He is so amazing.
The Lord has brought me from years of multiple category addictions, unhealthy supernatural activities, abuse, and restored my heart, along with, most of those around me. My father being one of the many.
I am so grateful for those God has strategically postioned in my life to grow me up in the Word of God and to walk alongside me throughout my life because I am not sure where I would be right now if it were not for them.
He knows our heart's desires and needs because He placed them there. Ps. 37:4
Jesus has never lied to me, nor will He ever. He is THAT good.
I do not know where I would be right now if it weren't for the Lord. I would be hollowed out apart from Him like a termite-infested tree stump. Thank you God for sending Jesus to the Cross; to die for my sin and anything under the curse of the Law. YOU ARE SO GOOD!
If you have never seen Jesus in this limelight before; I want you to consider receiving Him as your Lord. Whoever told you that you had to clean yourself up before you receive Jesus is lier. Religion says that, not God. The Bible says that when you call on the Lord, you shall be saved... JESUS I NEED YOU!!!
Say that from your heart!
JEEEESUS!
I NEED YOU!

Who The HELL Is Out There?
People die every day. Popular statistics say an average of 153,000 people die every day. Where they go for eternitry is untold, but I want tro give you the chance to alter where a person will go when they die. You can not defeat death because death is the ast ENEMY to be put underfoot.
1 Corithians 15:26
I am completely convinced that every sin in evistance in a person´s life is the exact result of a broken heart. This is why is is so important for us to soak in the presence of God every day and let Him stir up and purpose on the inside of us as we are called to great things for our nations!
1 Corithians 15:26
These statistics are real. They are average on best, not to be exact, but they are real:
People´s Death:
1.78 deaths per second
107 deaths per minute
6,390 deaths per hour
153,000 deaths per day
56 million deaths per year
3.9 billion over 70 years
Here is one of the many websites with the average listings. This website posting is not an approval of their doctrine. They have a really cool counting clock that furthers drives home the point I am wanting to make. If I you are bored to the point and have nothing else to do, click the link and watch the clock.
I am not writing to you to scare you or make you feel bad for not accomplishing anything in the past because there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus when we walk, not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit of God. Romans 8:1
Although, this is true, we must not sit idly by while millions of people die and go to hell. This burns in my heart every day for the Body of Christ to be mobilized into an effective army, doing what the Lord has already commissioned to do in accomplishing the Great Commission.
Let me tell you something, do not go drill wells for healthy drinking water without sharing the Gospel whever you go because your works will be in vain when those people go to hell for not hearing the Gospel because you were too self conscious to share somethign that made you feel uncomfortable. GET OVER YOURSELF!!!
The world is too big for one man or a small group of people to accomplish the GREAT Commission on their own.

The world is too big for one man or a small group of people to accomplish the GREAT Commission on their own.
We need to put aside our differences in doctrinal beliefs and start acting like adults in this situation. We all, as believers, can obviously agree that Jesus died on the cross, rose from the dead on the third day, and ascended on high. THAT is the Gospel. If you can´t agree on that, you need to get saved.
Romans 10:9:
¨... that if thou mayest confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and mayest believe in thy heart that God did raise him out of the dead, thou shalt be saved,...¨
My prayer is this: That you be empowered to preach the Good News of Jesus Christ to the lost, dying, and hurting world to heal their broken hearts by showing them what love truly is through demonstration of God´s Word in Spirit because where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty!
2 Corinthians 3:7
¨Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.¨
I am completely convinced that every sin in evistance in a person´s life is the exact result of a broken heart. This is why is is so important for us to soak in the presence of God every day and let Him stir up and purpose on the inside of us as we are called to great things for our nations!
You are a minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and you have the full capacitiy of the glory of God living on the inside of you. There are no restraints. There is no one else God has destined to reach the lost, other than, you. Trust me, you can do this because God said you can. 2 Cor. 5:18 He has empowered you through His Holy Spirit to preach the Gospel and He will confirm His Word through signs and wonders, and miracles and healings. And do not tell me miracles are a hoax and not for today when I saw a leg grow out 4 centimeters in 4 seconds when I prayed for an individual here in Quito, Ecuador.
¨That´s because you are overseas on the mission field, Jeremy.¨ And where the heck are you at?! THE MISSION FIELD. Don´t you buy for one second the lie from the devil that God puts geographical boundaries on His glory and just chooses to do certain things at certain times. That is the biggest hauk-a-crap I have ever heard in my entire life. There are many people who are so ¨what will be, will be¨ when it comes to the move of God and the happening of miracles when GOD SAID, ¨ For the eyes of the LORD range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to HIM!¨ 2 Chronicles 16:9
God is looking for someone crazy enough to do what He says!
Are you not a minister of God, according to 2 Corinthians 5:18?
Ok, than hop to it!
God does not plan on sending any angels to do the work He has destined and placed in the hands of His children to accomplish!
Luke 16:19-31:
If you are reading this and you think life just absolutely sucks the nipple right off of a donkey about now or there is something missing to where it could be better, check out what I typed below:

Luke 16:19-31:
“There was a certain rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and fared sumptuously every day. But there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, full of sores, who was laid at his gate, desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table. Moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. So it was that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died and was buried. And being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
“Then he cried and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.’ But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things; but now he is comforted and you are tormented. And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can those from there pass to us.’
“Then he said, ‘I beg you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father’s house, for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, lest they also come to this place of torment.’ Abraham said to him, ‘They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.’ And he said, ‘No, father Abraham; but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’ But he said to him, ‘If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rise from the dead.’”
It is our duty to listen to the Holy Spirit every moment of every day because a person´s life may well hang in the balance!
We, as believers, are all God´s laborers in the harvest field of the world. Don´t you go ¨dangling any one over the fire¨ to get them to repent because fear never changed anyone for the good. THE GOODNESS OF GOD changes the hearts of men unto repentance. Romans 2:4
God has no other plan than to send you into your world.
¨ Jesus was not crucified in the church between two candle sticks. He was crucified and shamed between two thieves in a place where men talked smut, thieves stole, and men cursed. This is where Jesus was crucified and where the Gospel works best.¨ - T.L. Osborn
¨If the Word of God does not work in the marketplace, it does not work.¨ - Bill Johnson
GO! GO! GO!
As your brother in Christ, I beg of you to start where you are at with what you have and desire to do in your heart for God will bless everything you put your hand to when it is exactly what He wants you to do. Chillax with Him in prayer and worship if you ain´t sure about what He wants you to do. I am gonna be talking about some sexy awesome things about God so you better stay tuned for the up and coming things God is gonna tell ya.
Remember, God has no other plan than to use US.
Listen and obey.

| He was marred beyond human recognition... for our sins, He became a curse for us. Isaiah 52:14, Galatians 3:13 |
There is no amount actions we can do to save ourselves or outweigh the bad in our lives because sin is sin and can not be out weighed with actions as Jesus paid the price.
You might think to yourself, ¨I believe Jesus is the Son of God.¨ Great, even satan and his retards believe that, but even that is not enough to get you into heaven and have an awesomely abundant life here on earth.
You can not be raised in the church as a child, be ¨baptized¨ as a child, and confess all of the right crap straight up awesome with God because, once agin, actions did not quench the ruthless thirst of sin. Jesus did when He became that price at the Cross when He died for all of mankind.
Jesus died for your sins and there is nothing you can do to change that. The ONLY thing to change your life here on earth and in the life to come is believing that Jesus rose from the dead and confessing it with your mouth when you believe it.
I am tired of people telling other people otherwise because they are lying to them and sending them straight to hell out ignrance.
Pray this prayer with me right now, and God is about flip your world upside down!
¨Jesus I, for some reason, just believe in your ressurection. I want to do great things with my life and thank God I can through you because I recieve you into my heart right now. I am a success in you, regardless, of my past, I am washed clean and forever never forsaken!¨
AMEN!
DUDE, whoever you are, you just made the best decision of your life and now you have got to email me now and tell me everything that has been happening with you so we can chit chat and scream at the rooftops of how awesome God is!
Jeremy.wenger2@gmail.com
You are now empowered to do everything I was talking about up top there and more. I have just gotten started in how important it is for us to get involved with God´s plan for our lives.

Taxi Driver Recieves Jesus After Losing Father 4 Months Ago
I want to share with you the story of how I met Tito, the taxi driver, and how the Lord changed his life forever.
I was debating on how to go about accomplishing the responsibilities given to me the other day when the bright idea came to me to get the lock I needed for the door upstairs and give the dog a bath afterwards. This way, I did not have to change clothes twice, but only one time.
So I headed out towards Mega Kiwi, got my taxi, and ended up in Mega Kiwi for $1.30. I bought the lock, left the store, tried my best to get a taxi for the ride home for the next 10 minutes. Man, i could not get a taxi within the next 10 minutes to save my life so I just decided to start walking so I could make at least a little progress towards the house and pay less money in the taxi. I walked for about 1.5 mintues and I ended up getting a cab. Thank God!
I opened the door and had to adjust the seat twice as if the seat was made for a person 2 feet tall. It is pretty funny becaue here in Quito, they trim the trees on the street to fit the people and I have dodge nearly every one of them because they are trimmed down to my nipples. I can´t run or I might get clothes lined by a tree made to look like a bush! So I get into the cab and see this man who looks so unsatified with life. I would talk with him in Spanish and he would answer me impatiently.
So we start talking wit him on the way to the house and out of the blue, it seems right in my spirit to ask him this question, ´´Do you have Jesus as your Savior?´´He answered with a No.
Then, I began to proceed, telling him about the peace of God. You see, I never had any peace in my life when I was into witchcraft, the sexual addictions, and drugs; but that all changed when I recieved the Lord of GLORY into my heart and the Prince of Peace moved in and made His home in my life. This began my life on the road of hope where God is so good.
I began to share the same story with him that I just shared with you right now. I told him that it is very easy to recieve Jesus into his heart. He asked how long I had the Lord in my heart, I answered, and kept on trucking along. Then, I told him that was the reason my father is in heaven right now because he recieved Jesus into his heart. It was one of those tings from left field the Lord just threw in there. I was completely and very random at the moment, but the Lord knows best. He knew that man´s heart and what he needed to hear. He heard what he needed to hear.
Look over to your right and click on the ¨Happy Father´s Day¨ Blog Post if you would like to read the story of how my father came to Christ the night before he was murdered two years ago.
You see, the Lord is so good to put us in the right place at the right time to give us the right words at the right moment. I mean, think about it, what would have happened if I decided to give Bacardi a bath and go to the store afterwards... this man would not have recieved the pivital change in his life that I am going to tell you about right now. It is not about us, but what the Lord wants to do through us.
As we arrived at the church, Alejandro met me outside. As we talked with him, he told us his name and we asked him if he wanted to pray to recieve the Lord into his heart. He said he would like to and he asked us to pray for his family, too, because he lost his father only four months ago. We prayed for him and he recieved the Lord of glory, the Prince of Peace into his heart what it says in Mathew 11:28 came true this very moment this day:
Mathew 11:28:
Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-laden and overburdened, and I will cause you to rest. [I will ease and relieve and refresh your souls.]
This man, whom was once oppressed by the devil, was liberated and uplifted by the power of God! His whole countanence changed! The Lord lifted the burdon of grief from his shoulders, displaced and replaced that anxiety withthe peace of God! The Holy Spirit can deminish anyting the devil has worked on for 20 years in a milisecond!
If you feel that you have not been living right and feel the need to come back to the Lord, I want you to know that the Lord is not ashamed of you. He is not disappointed in you.
He loves you to no end and I mean that!
The Lord can take your shame and turn into the gory of His fame as He did for me! I want you to live in Victory. There is nothing you can do to make God unlove you. His mercies are new every morning so if today is a new day from yesterday, than ou have a new chance. GET UP!
YOU ARE GOD´S PLAN A!
HE HAS NO PLAN B!
YOU ARE IT!
I really want you to know that it is ok. There is nothing you could have done so bad that would make the Lord throw his hands up at you. He is so welcoming with me and you, I promise. I love you and I knwo the Lord loves you and He wants you back in His arms, now more than ever. Who cares about your past sins! They do not matter anymore! They were obsolved in the Blod of Jesus! Theyare no more as you ar eno longer that person anymore for all old things have passed away all things have become brand new sinse you were in Christ Jesus! 2 Cor. 5:17
Let´s get back on track and do it right this time.
Lord,
I do not feel worthy right now of anything good, but thank God it is not about what I feel in my soul, but it is more important what You did at the cross 2000 years ago. You died to give me purpose and thank you for giving me purpose in You. Thank you for justifying me through Your blood and NOT my actions. Sinse you died and took me in as family, I believe I am redeemed as from sickness and poverty as I am shame. I AM THE REDEEMED OF THE LORD!
AMEN!
The Lord will take the pain of your shame and use it for the glory of His fame.
You have just made the best decision of your entire life!!!

Two Girls Recieved Miracles Today!
Two people today has something happen to them! One person got healed of pain in her lip where she could not eat anything prior to prayer and she recieved peace of God throughout her entire being. She no longer has any pain and her whole countenance changed when we finished praying! The other girl recieved the gift of speaking heavenly tongues and felt an amazing fire coursing through her chest as we were praying for her! God is so good! I love how in Mark 16:18, it doesn`t specify who the sick are in order to lay hands on them and they will recover... it just says THE SICK... saved or sinner, the sick are the sick, and they will be healed when you lay hands on them for healing! God is so good!
Man´s Knee Miraculously Healed!
I want to share with you how a man, who had metal in his leg, got miraculously healed yesterday.
I live with Ana Maria and Alejandro Del Campo, and Joseph in the church. Ana Maria works in Guayaquil, Ecuador, and travels there once a month, and she got back home in Quito last night, 6-21-12, with her mother and brother. Today, Alejandro and Ana Maria were showing them around the scenic parts of Quito. They visited a cool place called The Center of the World where the equator is and you can balance an egg on a nail there! One of many cool things to do there. As they got back to the house, they had to get thier things so they could go back to Guayaquil. He said we would be back at the house in 30 minutes so I said sure. It dawned on me to ask the question as we were half out to the end of the city... ´´How are we getting back?´´
You see, we were taking Ana Maria´s Mom´s car to the outskirts of Quito and we had no car of our own. So I asked them the question... ´´How are we getting back?´´ Ana Maria looked at me stunned and Alejandro said, ´´That is a good question.´´ Dear Lord, the things I do for friends. It is a good thing I listened to my gut in getting a 20 dollar bill before we left. So we all get to the outskirts of Quito and I am freaking hungry; borderline starving. I see a little hole in the wall selling candy and other things like that so I go there because I needed something to hold me over until we got back to the house and I needed change for the 20 also.
I go into the first store and it was a dud. I go to the second store and I spot their ice cream. I got some icecream while Ana Maria got us each a milkshake. So we finally get on the bus to get back to Quito and we start talking with a guy on the bus to see if he is saved or not. He said he was and he was looking for a church. He had to get off of the bus before we could give him the information for the church so we just prayed for God to send more laborers across his path.
That guy on the bus thought God was mad at him for his sins, when he didn´t know that Jesus took His sins for all eternity at the cross, and Father God blotted ALL OF HIS SINS out through the working of Jesus´s death on the cross for HIS sake!
Isaiah 43:25, ´´ I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions, for my own sake, and remembers your sins no more.´´
God is so good!
As we were getting closer to the bus station, a lady offered to share a taxi with us on the way to Quito because she knew somebody. I really didn´t have a good feeling about us going with her in my gut and it proved to be good and I will you see why it was good in just a second. So we continued onward to the bus terminal. I was still so hungry, but I had a hankering for sour gummy worms and I could feel a booger hanging in my nose so I had to take of that issue first. You never want a beautiful woman walking by, seeing your brother-in-law hanging out of your nose, and waving at her. After, fixing my nose, they helped me in tryign to find the gummy worms. It was so hard trying to describe the sour gummy worms to the store clerks who had no idea what Alejandro was saying in translation because he had no idea what he was talking about! haha
Meanwhile, as we are searching, we did go downstairs to the lower level to some more stores. There was a Jesus statue around the corner where the stores were at adn people were coming to touch the statue and feel as if their sins were forgiven. They feel safe when they touch that statue, it was a shrine, really. There was one guy walking up to the statue and I said to him, ¨Jesus es mi amigo,¨ and I walked off. I thought it was rather funny to leave him hanging like that because not many people have a personal relatiohsip down here with the guy who the shrine is made after. As we are walking, we arrive at this lady´s store, her name is Maria, and I begin the conversation with talking about the statue.
We start talking more about why people feel imprtant when they touch the statue. I said it was better just have a personal relationship with the guy who they think they are touching. It really all boiled down to this question...
´´Not saying it will happen, but do you know if you would you go to heaven if you died tonight?´´
She had no idea if she was going to be going to heaven tonight if she died. The thing with this is if anyone says they do not know or they are because of any reason, besides Jesus is their Lord and Savior, they need to get born again and filled with the Holy Spirit in speaking in other tongues. The Lord revealed to me through a word of kowledge about her head having problems with her head. She said she would get nausiated wihtout any reason at random times of the day. We prayed for her and I believe she got healed because the Bibe says,
´´...we shall lay hands on the sick and they shall be healed...´´ Mark 16:18
She recieved Jesus as her Lord and Savior, we got her number, and gave her information on the church. We also told her she just made the best decision of her entire life. That is VERY important.
Here is another thing, when that person ´´notifies´´ you of their need for Jesus give them the three scripture listed below. It is very easy, direct, straight to the point, and it does not matter how you feel when you say this to them because were the justified in Christ and we live by faith, not by our feelings and the Holy Spirit is at work with their hearts, not you. Hab. 2:4, Rom. 1:17
Romans 3:23, ´´, for all have sinned in the past and fall short of the glory of God in ourselves...´´
Ephesians 2:8, ´´...we are saved by grace through faith, that is not of any works of ourselves that we may boast, but a gift from from God.´´
Romans 10:nine-10, ´´Believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that Jesus rose from the dead and you shall be saved...´´
You can personalize to any other scriptures you want, as long as, they represent that salvation is dependant on Jesus´death, burial, and resurrection. I have put a link to another man´s website below for more soul wining Scriptures and tips:
Riley Stephonson is an amazing Evangelist and his ministry is an outreach of kenneth Copeland Ministries. Although, some may not agree with Kenneth Copeland and his teachings, we sure can agree on Evangelism and showigng the love of God to the lost and borkenhearted.
After we get the lady´s contact information, we head back upstairs to find some more stores. As we did, we passed by a store that had sunglasses out front and I saw some that I liked and pointed them out to Ana Maria. We ended up staying at this guy´s store for about 45 minutes talking to him about the sunglasses and if he had Jesus in his heart.
Hang on for a second, I want you to know that we were not on some evangelistic outreach for the city at all. We were simply out doing normal things when we just wanted to ask if these people had Jesus as the Lord of their lives and the Holy Spirit launched it from there. Cool, huh? Everyone is to do the work of an evangelist. 2 Timothy 4:5
So we began asking him questions about his salvation. I asked him the question if he would go to heaven if he died tonight. He wasn´t sure. NOTIFICATION: Not saved! I asked him if he had any pain in his body. Alejandro translated for me, thank God, and told me the guy had metal in his leg, I don´t remeber why, but he could not bend his leg at all. I wanted to pray for him and he said I could. I prayed two times for him. The first time, he could bend his leg with a little bit. The second time, the pain was completely gone, he could bend his leg with no restraint, and this was before he recieved Jesus as his Lord and Savior!!!
Then, I asked him to pray the prayer with me, he did, and he recieved the Lord into his heart and got born again. Ana Maria started talking to him about something in spanish.
I couldn´t understand the half of it, but I had a desire in my heart to pray for his business.
We began to pray for him and the Holy Spirit manifested so strongly that he took a deep breathe and it was like he was shaking something off as he exhaled. Glory to God! Then, we started talking to him about being filled with the Holy Spirit in speaking with a heavenly language. He wanted to be filled so we prayed with him and he recieved the Holy Spirit right there in the marketplace!
´´If the Word of God does not work in the marketplace, it does not work.´´
- Bill Johnson
It is not hard to help someone recieve the Holy Spirit in speaking in other tongues. It is very easy when you know what God says about the thing. All they have to is believe with their heart and speak. The thing with being filled with the Holy Spirit with a person, if they have any difficulty... it is most likely a yielding problem or a doctrinal problem. They either, do not know how to yield or they need to learn more about it from the Bible. This guy had niether, which was awesome! Here are some scriptures to help you briefly explain the synopsis of tongues to another person and why it is for today:
Jude 20, ¨... Beloved, build yourself up on your most holy faith, praing in the Holy
Spirit...´´
1 Corinthians 14:2, ´´ For anyone who speaks in a tongue[a] does not speak to people but to God. Indeed, no one understands them; they utter mysteries by the Spirit.´´
What a person does when they pray in tongues is beautiful. They are knocking out so many birds with one stone, it amazes me. They build themselves up in their spirit man and pray out mysteries between them and God. They may be praying out and paving the road for something they may be walking out 20 years from now! The thing about tongues is that the person just needs to speak. They do not need to think, they just need to start speaking and BOOM! They may have some strange words or syllables come to their minds, but they just need to speak that out. I tell people this all the time; it may not be much, it may be a lot, but just speak it out and work it like any other muscle.
It was so awesome when he asked if he could pray for us. It was beautiful, it was amazing. He prayed for our families and many other things! It was so great to see a newly born babe in Christ so eager to give to others what he just recieved.
We got his contact information to follow up with him as well. We will be calling both of these people tomorrow to see how they are doing and to invite them again to church.
You see, a lot of people believe Evangelism is solely leading people to Christ, but that is only the first part of Evangelism. Evangelism is alot like owning a business. If you do not take care of the current customers you have, how can you expect to give your ´´company´´a good reputation? FOLLOW-UP IS THE KEY. Press in and track the people you have met and keep up with them. Maintain your friendship with them so they can get plugged into a pastor near. They want to know someone cares about them and not just to ´´get a new convert´´.
People couldn´t truly care less about what or who you know until they know you care about them, regardless, of the circumstances. People are crying out to be accepted and understood. Be that friend to them in time of need. They want a group of individuals who will be a family. People are being rejected everyday. be that friend that accepts them for who they are as God has accepted and loves you this very day.
I was with Ana maria and Alejandro on another bus back to the house and I looked in one guys eyes, and the Lord showed me his brokenheart. I could sense his pain and still do. I pray for him because he chose not to recieve Jesus at that time because he thought God was mad at him. It really broken my heart to see him walk away condemned by the devil. We told him that God loves no matter what and it is by what Jesus did that he is forgiven and not that of ourselves for Jesus took our sins for all of eternity. I know the Holy Spirit will be working on his heart everyday now, nagging his mind, sinse he has heard the truth about God and His love for him. God´s word does not return void my friends! So whether he recieved or not, he is getting born again because God´s word does NOT return without profit!
Isaiah 55:11, ´´... It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.´´
If you have been reading this and you feel the Lord tugging on your heart and you want to make things right between you and Jesus, pray this prayer with me.
Dear Father God,
Thank you for sending Jesus to die on the cross specifically for me and raising Him from the dead so I can have eternal life and peace with You. Please take my life and use it for purpose. Thank you for choosing me before the foundations of the world and calling me your son.
In Jesus´ Name,
Amen!
You have just made the best decision of your entire life!!!
Please email me when you have prayed this prayer and let me know how your life has been changed!

Empowered To Preach the Gospel!
On the day you were
born again, you became anointed, empowered, authorized, and chosen! You are
empowered and authorized by Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world, to preach
the Good News! Everything you need to fulfill God’s will for your life is on
the inside of you right now.
This very day God has been speaking to you about your
dreams and desires. Don’t give up! You can do it! When you realize who you are
and what you can do in line with God’s Word, you are on the first step of your
destiny. Your destiny was planned by God before you were ever born. He says so
in Psalm 139.
Psalm 139:1-16 (New Living Translation)
1 O Lord, you have examined my heart and know everything
about me.
2 You know when I sit down or stand up. You know my thoughts even when I’m far away.
3 You see me when I travel and when I rest at home. You
know everything I
do.
4 You know what I am
Going to say even before I say it,
Lord.
5 You go before me and follow me. You place your hand of
blessing on my
head.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too great for me
to understand!
7 I can never escape from your Spirit! I can never get away
from your
presence!
8 If I go up to heaven, you are there; if I go down to the
grave, you are there.
9 If I ride the wings of the morning, if I dwell by the
farthest oceans,
10 even there your hand will guide me, and your strength
will support me.
11 I could ask the darkness to hide me and the light around
me to become
night—
12 but even in darkness I cannot hide from you. To you the
night shines as
bright as day.
Darkness and light are the same to you.
13 You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your
workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it.
15 You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion,
as I was woven together in the dark of the womb.
16 You saw me before
I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment
was laid out before a single day had passed.
You are on the right path today! God knows you! He knows
everything about you. That’s why He would never tell you to do
something you weren’t EMPOWERED
and AUTHORIZED and chosen to do!
Let’s look at Psalm 138:8 in the New Living Translation: “The Lord will work out his plans for my
life. . . .” We are God’s masterpiece. He has created us new in Christ
Jesus so that we can do the good things He planned for us long ago. He made us
brand new in Christ! “Christ” means (we have learned from Brother
Copeland) The Anointed One and
the “anointing” is the burden-removing, yoke-destroying power of God.
So we can say aloud:
God created me new in The Anointed One and through His anointing—that
burden-removing, yoke-destroying power of God—I can do the good things He has
planned for me. God has made every provision I need to do what He has
EMPOWERED AND AUTHORIZED me to do! I can
do it!
Mark 16:15 is known as
The Great Commission. In the New Living Translation, Jesus says, “. . .
Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone everywhere.” We are
instructed by Jesus to witness to everyone everywhere.
God says, “Go preach!”
You may say, “Where?”
God says, “Everywhere!”
You may say, “Who do I preach to?”
God says, “Everyone!”
But when we are
standing face-to-face with our neighbor, mailman, pizza guy, convenience store
clerk, or fast food clerk, we look at the natural circumstances and think,
“What if he/she rejects me?”
When we begin to doubt, we are saying, “Hello, Mr. Doubt,
come right on in here and hand us that bag of lies.” We just opened up the door
to Mr. Doubt and Mrs. Unbelief. This Mr. and Mrs. team has robbed the Church
for years. God says, “Go” Devil says,
“They might reject you and think your crazy.”
God says, “Go” Devil says, “You haven’t memorized enough scripture.” God
says, “Go” Devil says, “They look like a Christian.” Jesus said go to EVERYONE EVERYWHERE!
The Church has been lied to. Now let me ask you; who is the
father of lies? John 8:44 says, “. . . for he [the devil] is a liar,
and father of it.” We just learned from Mark chapter 9 that if there are no
ifs, anything can happen. Mark 9:23 in the King James Version says, “.
. . If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.”
We cannot let Satan keep us from sharing our faith!
You can be an effective
witness for Jesus! You can shake your city with the Gospel! You can shake your
nation for Jesus! You can change the world! God is looking for men and women to
take their place in the Body of Christ. I believe you are the very one God will
use for this end-time harvest of souls.
Romans Chapter 6 Confession
Should I keep sinning so God can keep forgiving me while I take one step forward and five steps back? I have left my old man behid me when I recieved Jesus into my heart. I am a brand new person with a new nature in the Lord Jesus Christ.
That's what baptism into the life of Jesus means. When I was lowered into the water, it was like the burial of Jesus; when I was raised up out of the water, it was like the resurrection of Jesus. I was raised into a light-filled world by my Father so that I can see where I’m going in my new grace-sovereign nature.
My old way of life was nailed to the cross with Christ, a decisive END to that sinful, miserable life. I am no longer at sin's every beck and call because I am submitted to God! I believe was included in Christ's sin-conquering death, I was also included in His life-saving resurrection. I know that when Jesus was raised from the dead it was a signal of the end of death-as-the-end. Never again will death have the last word over me! When Jesus died, he took sin down to hell with him, but alive he brings God down to me. Sin speaks a dead language. God speaks my native tongue, and I hang on every word. I am dead to sin and alive to God. That's what Jesus did.
That means I must not give sin a single vote in the way I conduct my lives. I don't even give it the time of day. I don’t even run little errands that are connected with that old way of life. I throw myself wholeheartedly and full-time—remember, I was raised from the dead!—into God's way of doing things. Sin can NOT tell me how to live. After all, I’m not living under that old tyranny anymore. I’m living in the freedom of God.
So, since I’m out from under the old tyranny, does that mean I can live any old way I want? Since I’m free in the freedom of God, can I do anything that comes to mind? Hardly. I know well enough from my own experience that there are some acts of so-called freedom that destroy my freedom. Offer myself to sin, for instance, and it's my last free act. But offer myself to the ways of God and the freedom never quits. All my life I've let sin tell me what to do. But thank God I've started listening to a new master, one whose commands set me free to live openly in His freedom!
I can readily recall how at one time the more I did just what I felt like doing—not caring about others, not caring about God—the worse my life became and the less freedom I had. And how much different is it now as I live in God's freedom, my life healed and expansive in holiness, yes?
As long as I did what I felt like doing, ignoring God, I didn't have to bother with right thinking or right living, or right anything for that matter. But do I call that a free life? What did I get out of it? Nothing I’m proud of now. Where did it get me? Nothing, but a dead end.
But now that I've found out I don't have to listen to sin tell me what to do, and have discovered the delight of listening to God telling me, what a surprise! A whole, healed, put-together life right now, with more and more of life on the way! Work hard for sin my whole life and my pension is death. But God's gift is real life, eternal life, delivered by Jesus, my Master.
That's what baptism into the life of Jesus means. When I was lowered into the water, it was like the burial of Jesus; when I was raised up out of the water, it was like the resurrection of Jesus. I was raised into a light-filled world by my Father so that I can see where I’m going in my new grace-sovereign nature.
