We have authority??!!!!!

I recently went to a Christian store looking for the book by Charles Capps on "Authority" They didn't have the book I was looking for so I grabbed a different book "Power over Satan" by Charles Spurgeon. As a Christian sometimes you don't realize the authority we have. The Lord just kept putting it on my heart to read the gospel of Luke, suddenly there it was straight from the author himself Jesus!! In Luke 10:19 he says "I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you." The YOU in this verse is US!! We have the authority to drive out demons, to lay hands on the sick so they may recover *Mark 16:18- they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well."* , in the name of Jesus we have authority over Satan!! Over Satan's plan to take control of our lives, finances, emotions, etc........Sometimes we forget what we can do because of what Jesus did for us!! All of US!!! Satan will do anything to keep us from having a relationship with the Lord because we can take the authority God gives us over him and his actions against us. We need to watch also what comes out of our mouth's! Satan can not read our minds but can hear the words we speak and that gives him ammo to attack us. *John 10:10-The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy* For whatever you are going through, I assure you the answer you seek can be found in the Bible!! Let's live the life the Lord said we can have!!!

A new life has come, Here am I Lord!

"Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action is dead"- James 2:17. This verse is so true and powerful I was told to write a sermon on it. My Evangelism teacher Michael Morelli once said "Faith is a decision. Faith is not what you have but what you do" It is great to be a Christian! But how many Christians do you know that love the Lord, go to Church on Sundays and it ends there? Don't get me wrong that is great to love the Lord and attend Church! But we need to spread the word of God to others! Family, friends, neighbors, etc...It would be a shame to not tell people about the Lord, Who He is, What He can do and that He is the key to Heaven. The Lord can do such amazing things for a persons life and a lot of people do NOT know what HE can do!

I have a lot of people ask me things they are afraid to ask about the Lord, Bible, Christianity, etc....Most of them say "I don't want to sound dumb" or " I have a question it may be stupid to you" There is nothing "dumb" or "stupid" about asking a question about Christ! When we start out we all have questions, and a child like faith. I was once one of those people that felt "dumb" in the beginning. But I overcame my fear to ask questions and now I am ministering to others, leading them to the Lord!! I mean up until 2005 I thought a "Pastor" was a "Pasture"!! I mean duh! Lol. I still have to laugh as that one! Since then I have grown as a Christian and have learned beyond what I though I ever would, and everyday I am still learning! I have such a fire inside of me!! Such a passion for the Lord I must tell others!! There are too many souls to be saved to sit back and do nothing. So many souls have been tortured for so long and they don't know sexual addictions, drug addiction, fear, doubt, I can go on and on, are a part of Satans plan to seek, kill and destroy us! Do you want Satan in charge of you?? No! Jesus defeated Satan so that we will not perish but have eternal life! Jesus suffered and died for everyone of US!! I know what Jesus can do that is why I serve him. Today is the day to commit yourself to Jesus, give him your life and see what amazing things he can do for you too! As written in the word "All things are possible through Christ" All Things! If you are breathing the Lord has a plan for you!! Accepting him as your personal Lord and Savior is the 1st step. If you are ready to have the life the Lord said we can have. Believe in your heart and read the following below, and get ready for the best decision of your life.....eternal life:

Dear Lord,

I admit that I am a sinner. I have done many things that don’t please you. I have lived my life for myself. I am sorry and I repent. I ask you to forgive me. I believe that you died on the cross for me, to save me. You did what I could not do for myself. I come to you now and ask you to take control of my life, I give it to you. Help me to live every day in a way that pleases you. I love you, Lord, and I thank you that I will spend all eternity with you.

Amen

What is your purpose on Earth?

Have you ever asked yourself, What is my purpose on Earth? When you think about it what are we here for???? The answer is to serve the Lord and spread the good news to others! I have been a Christian for about 4 years now and everyday I continue to learn, love and grow in the Lord. I have overcome more than I ever expected in my 31 years on this Earth including the 2 tragic deaths on my brothers. My Mother continues to hold anger at God for "Taking her sons away". I have to remind her it was Satans actions, you have a CHOICE! Who do you want to follow?? Where do you want to spend eternity?? My Mother says she "has a horrible life so she has to get in to Heaven" Not so! The Bible says the only way to Heaven is to accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, give your life to him, serve him! I know I still have a lot to learn yet, I know I will be a great Preacher, it is my calling and nothing will stop me for what I am called to do. I would love to be as knowledgeable as Jesse Duplantis, Bob Yandian, Cerflo Dollar, Joyce Meyer, etc............but I am not there yet. I will take what I know already and use that, and lead others to the Lord. It is very clear we are in end times there is NO time to wait!! I love the quote by Creflo Dollar that says "If you don't believe in Heaven or Hell, Die!" Let me tell you, there is nothing like hearing the voice of God and to feel his presence! My Earthly Father abandoned my 4 siblings and I as kids. I know have a Father that will "Never leave me nor forsake me" He loves me with agape love, and no matter where I go or what I do he is there! I can't believe I went through SO many years of not knowing!! I guess that is why in the Bible it says "My people perish for lack of knowledge". If you are breathing the Lord has a plan for you!!
