GOD is looking for some men today. Is HE finding any? Will you be that man? Ezk. 22:30

Will you be the man that God can use today, to stand in the gap and make up the hedge, to keep the evil from flowing in and destroying your family?

We have enough wimps today in the family, shirking their responsibility as husbands and fathers.

We have enough wimps in the pulpits in the church today, scratching backs and tickling ears, while Satan takes over the family and the church. God is looking for men who are Not for sale, Who fear nothing and no one but GOD and are Committed to following God, Standing on the Truths of the Word of GOD regardless of the cost.

If you are a Pastor and your Church is dead, the fire went out in the pulpit before it did in the pews. Don't expect the Church to be alive if the Pastor is dead.

Are you a man of faith? Do you know in whom you believe?

Are you a man of fire? Not wildfire or some work up of the flesh, but full of the genuine fire of GOD.

Are you a fearless man? When you are full of the Holy Ghost you will be bold, and will stand unafraid to proclaim thus saith God.

I pray God will send us some real men of faith, fire and fearless in this day of apostasy, who will stand in the gap and make up the hedge.

Your Attitude Toward Money Will Reveal your spirituality Greater Than Anything Else You will Ever Do. Matt. 6:24

When money is greater than God in our life we would take lottery money. Because what we thank we could do with the money, would be greater in our mind than bringing glory to God by refusing it. We must see God as greater and obedience to him as the most important thing we could ever do. God is not more interested in sacrifices or offerings than He is obedience.1Sam.15:22. God can take a small amount that is blessed by Him and do many times more with it than you could ever do with a large amount that is not blessed by Him. Look at the boy with the five loaves and the two fishes, who gave it to Jesus and with the blessing of God on it fed five thousand men plus the women and children and had twelve baskets full left over. God never needs or wants ill gotten gain to be used for his kingdom. Deut. 23:18

We want to thank Pastor David Tarkington at First Baptist Church in Orange Park, FL. for refusing to take $600,000.00 that was the tithe on a $6 million dollar lottery winning by one of their members. We need more pastors who will not allow money to cloud their thinking when it comes to standing for God.

If money is this important to you and you see it in the greater position than God, there will be no telling where you would go if money is in the mix. Would there be any money you would refuse? I doubt it. It is not hard at all for Satan to buy people when they have the wrong attitude about money and see it as greater than God.

When our priority is spiritual, God will take care of the material, for where God Guides ,He provides. Matt. 6:33

The problem we face as Christians is getting our priority out of place. Satan is always trying to get us to worry about something that has to do with the material. this takes our focus off the most important. We must understand our heavenly Father Knows all of our material needs even before we ask. What He wants from us is our complete trust and reliance on Him. When we do this we can live in total peace. If God feeds the birds and cloths the flowers we know he will provide for us, whom Jesus died for.

Matt. 6:24-34

Nothing Pleases God But Faith. Heb. 11:6

People are always trying to Please God in many different ways, But the only way we can please God is by Faith. What is Faith? Faith is Believing what God said and acting on it. You can say you have faith , But if there is no action there is no real Faith. Look at Heb. Ch. 11 and you will see every one mentioned in that chapter acted and by the act of faith God responded. James 2:20 states that Faith without works is dead. Real saving Faith is totally surrendering to the Lordship of Christ. Jesus said unless you give up all even your own life you can't be my disciple. Just as you put all your trust in the Lord Jesus for salvation, We also have to walk each day totally trusting him for all things. As we receive Christ [ by Faith] we walk each day that same way [by faith].

Faith Living Is One Day At A Time. Matt. 6:34

We bring worry on ourselves by trying to live more than one day at a time.
Just about everything we worry about is not happening today. So we worry if it will happen or not happen tomorrow. God gives Grace for the present not the future. When we need Grace for whatever comes our way, the Grace will be there at that time. When we come down to die, we will have dieing grace, but don't expect to have it until the time comes. Today we need living Grace for the problems of today, and that is what will be present today. Enjoy living in Christ's presence today and remember tomorrow He will be there too.

You can't live by faith with a backup plan. Matt. 6:25

Many times we say we live by faith but we don't. Most people who say that are dependent on something other than God. Most have a backup plan even when they say they are acting by faith. Faith is believing God when I can't see the outcome. Faith is taking God at His word and His word alone. Then acting on what God has said with nothing to back us up if God does not come through. Faith does not work unless it is faith alone in the almighty God.

The widow of Zarephath who fed Elijah in I Kings 17:8-16 acted in faith by giving The Man of God all she had to feed herself. She had no backup plan. That was it. No more food in the land because of the drought. When she acted by faith God provided for her, not only that day ,but everyday until the rain came and more food was grown. The provision was not a barrel full of meal, but a daily supply. Every time she went to the barrel there was enough. God will always give you enough if you will walk by faith.

Ministry Focus

John McElhaney — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 17:53:39 GMT

Our Focus is: FIRST- Bringing Glory to Our Lord Jesus Christ

                    SECOND- Bringing Sinners To Christ.

                    THIRD- Teaching those who receive Christ to become strong Christians and go forth reaching others.

Our Areas of interest in helping Churches are.

A.  Teaching Christians to stand for Bible truth and not get caught up in this modern age philosophy that Satan has deceived us into believing today. and calling pastors and churches back to God. So we can once again see the fire of God fall on pastors in the pulpits across the land, and it spread into the pews and out the door into the highways and hedges.

B. Teaching Christians The Bible Principles of Sacrificial Giving. There are no money problems in the church only obedience problems. Living By faith and learning what The Bible teaches about Giving will totally change your life and the life of your church. Pastors, Don't be afraid to preach on giving. If you are not teaching your people to give, you are cheating them from the blessings associated with giving. You are also hindering your church from being the Church God wants it to be.

C. Teaching Christians that we are all one body- There is no room for separation in the body of Christ when it comes to race or skin color. We are all of one blood. The early Church did not have a problem with Black and White. Why Do WE? If the people in your Church are all one color you have a problem.
