When I Grow Up......

Hebrews 7:7 (NLT)

⁷ And without question, the person who has the power to give a blessing is greater than the one who is blessed.

We want these Kinda Blessings.
That Blessing you feel inside when you truly Bless another.

It's Spiritual.  What can Top that??

For me, I'm asking God to keep me on the path that leads 2 Righteousness, The path that brings me to a place in this world where I can be used to Bless others.

Yea I struggle 2 Bless as much as I would like to, at this Moment.

BUT, I am stepping in the right direction( I Think ), trying my BEST to surround myself or stay in contact w/ some of the MOST Go-Gettin'-Soul Winnin'-Jesus Lovin'-God Blessin'-Life Speakin'-Spirit Filled Peoples!!


These kinda people are Blessings all alone by themselves.  They have gave their Life to Follow.  And would lay it down to be w/ JESUS.


I hope 2 be like this when I grow up ;)


I have made some serious decisions for Jesus.....You can say Promises.  So as Joy comes in the Morning, I wake up striving to be a True Apostle.

Why wouldn't we?..............GOD has gave us Promises!! 


If we are to claim His Promises, I would expect Him to claim ours.


When I grow up, I want to be a True Apostle of Christ.

The term Apostle is derived from the New Testament Greek word ἀπόστολος or apostolos, meaning one who is sent forth as a messenger ^[1][2] and should not be confused with a disciple (who is a follower or a student who learns from a "teacher").^[

Her name is Danielle Blevins, and She made my Night.

As I continue on this Adventure of Following Jesus, Striving to be more like him, I realize how much I have changed, and Then I realize some things that Jesus probably does not want me to change.

AND that this is why He calls you and I when and how he does.....Amen?

There are things I was believing I had to rid myself of, and really put a lot of unnecessary pressure on myself, you can probably even say stress....YA, Stress is a fair word.

I am that same guy, except now I am full of that Holy Spirit.  As I embark on the other end My Missionary Journey, which involves in Sharing with different Churches, whatever Small Growth Groups, or Bible Studies I can, I am learning A LOT.

 I am learning that I get nervous and draw blanks real quick when I am speaking on anything other than JESUS.  

And I am glad that He has wired me that way.  I have never been a HUGE speaker, then again I didn't have a whole lot to speak on.  

If it wasn't about Deaf Ears being open or Blind eyes now seeing, or People we laid hands on Falling straight over on their heads, only to wake up HEALED on fire w/ the Holy Spirit....

Then it is probably NOT worth speaking about.

Long Story short, God stays on the Move and It tickles me to try to stay with Him. 

For example, Tonight, a friend of mine I have been reaching out to, was going to a Bible Study w/ me in Gettysburg at a Mens Discipleship Home.( The Freedom House).

I called the Family to Prayer, and prepared myself to be Spirit lead and/or however I could be used BEST before this Friend of mine came to pick me up.

We ended up letting the GPS lead us the wrong Direction.  The whole time I am just giving Testimony and talking of Gods Love, not thinking of anything specific, When the questions came.

I still did not see opportunity.  I was still trying to see past my frustration of all that Preparation and then not reaching the Bible Meeting.

Finally, by the time we pulled back into the driveway, Her mind was made up, and her heart was set.!!!! YES!! THIS WAs GREAT!!

We bowed our heads, and we Prayed.  She Received Salvation right there, and The Lord Used me!

MAN it was the greatest.

We spent the next hour or so, with me showing her how to use Bible Gateway.  She Loved the NLT version, and was excited about her new life.  SHE WAS FORGIVEN! 

She was worried about her 3 year old Daughter, and She decided to Dedicate her to the LORD.

And then She ask me , If I would be the One to Baptize her In Water.

I cannot explain the Feeling that you get from Leading someone to Jesus Christ.  

For me, It is what I was made for.  

Thank You Jesus for Using me.

The Plan is to try to depart in December for the Dominican Republic.  Just waiting on some last minute Supporters.  Supporters are the important people on the Team, they allow some "Wiggle Room" in Ministry.  And they are prob the Hugest reason that a lot of Precious Souls are able to be Reached.  Without my Prayer Warriors and Supporters I am not sure where in the Field Jesus would have me placed. Thanks.

Please, If you wanna help reach some people, I encourage you to Join us, email me dbarnard13@gmail.com

He Will Take You Places You Never Imagined.

So I am PUMPED to be doing what I'm Called to do by the Creator of Heaven &Earth. As I am preparing to go back into the field for another year. 

The Dominican Republic, where I will be able to work with the Youth.  

I see Fruit there.  

They are the Future.

I want more than ever that they see it is a relationship with Jesus, hopefully stopping them from doing the religious acts that allot of this Culture can fall into.  

At the same time I enjoy Coaching Little League Baseball there, Some of or best players in the States come from the DR.

I get involved with anything I can usually.

Also my Mentors/Leadership have continually been Speaking into my life since I left Padre Las Casas.  And you can believe I am doing everything possible to receive it.  There are many possibilities.

It's possible that 1 or 2 may have the same opportunity I had, and come join me in the field, getting a taste of what the Great Commission speaks of.

Relying on Jesus in a 3rd World Country, what a Great Faith Builder and Learning Experience.

There was so many favorite things to do, BUT one of my Fav's was this; My Brother Merquis had recently got a job at the Public School teaching English.  So he got me through the gate and introduced me to the Principal and told him I was to help Teach, He agreed.

HAHA! I teach  English using Scripture, and I get to give Testimony everytime they ask about my Tattoos.  It's great, I feel like Jesus smiles on us everytime.

Anyways, I never thought I would be where I am today or where I am going in the name of Jesus.  I Pray I change as many lives as I can on my Journey.

Eventually, Planting that Church, while traveling the World seeing no less than 2000 Salvations at a time.

I went BIG and Suffered for the World, It makes SO MUCH more sense to GO BIG for the Creator of the Earth, Being Hidden in Christ w/ GOD.

Give Me Some FeedBack on Asia or the Dominican Republic

I Believe the Lord has been good at his timing and Gracefully been answering Prayers, Building me up For Missions. Into an Evangelist one day?, maybe leading into the One Way Ticket I prayed Years ago about?

Recently I have been making alot of noise about serving 1 year in the Dominican Republic, asking For Prayers and/or Support. Knowing God is my Provider and Protector, Both are still desperately needed and very much Appreciated.  

Today after First Service of speaking about the opportunities God has given me to share the Good News, God introduced me to the Director of Global Missions.  Where he came Highly recommended by a great Leader by the name of Lance Stoddart.  Global Missions say Leadership in Asia is needed.  They happen to have a Teen Challenge Missions Training Program there.

Point is, right when I though I knew where God was Leading me, I second guessed myself when that happened.  I thought, "Daniel thats what you get for thinkin'"  haha..

Hey, I know this much Im tryin' to keep my eyes Fixed on Jesus, and all this is for Him and His Glory.

Please, give me some feed back, Pray with me, Believe with me that God already has this paid for, and is in Control.

Thanks.

Over A Thousand Salvations-Healings are Too Many 2 Record!!

¡Hola Mi Familia!  Hey Family,

I got some exciting news for the Sign & Wonders Festival here in Padre Las Casas, Dominican Republic.  We are already well over 1000 Salvations!  And just way to many different kinds of healings to record.  AND we still have TONIGHT, where we expect SO MANY more Salvations for Jesus to claim.

We have laid hands on the sick and prayed for Multitudes of Precious Souls, Just like Bible speaks to us about!

I also have some great news!! As most of you know, I am coming back to the States, this should be for a 2 Month period.  Where I will be preparing to come back to Padre Las Casas for 1 Year to serve, Working mostly with the Youth and then anywhere else I feel the Lord is leading me, Producing Fruit for the Kingdom Of God!

I will be Fasting and Praying, Believing God Almighty for this great Vision on this.  Please feel free to Join Me!!

We are also in the progress of asking God for some more Jesus Soliders, Prayer Warriors, & Church Families that I can come Share the good news of what God is doing!

We are Believing God for Great things!!                          

 Believe with us that others will wanna join in some way, Supporting in Prayer and/or Financially.

Growing In Christ,

Watch Your Mouth!&Speak Life!

The Lord woke me up this morning thinking Proverbs 18:21.
 ²¹ The tongue has the power of life and death, 
       and those who love it will eat its fruit.
And all these memory pictures strarted to come to mind( I guess you could call em´Revelations ).

Seeing these things showed me that this is one of  the Reasons why certain things in my Life and the Lives of People I Love and Cherish.have come to be the way they are. THIS BEING POSITIVE & NEGATIVE.

It showed me that in Genesis, GOD spoke the world in to exsistence.
HE spoke to things, giving life or taking away( For example the Fig Tree, that had Leaves and No Fruit)...Jesus told that Tree it was done.

I realized more that many of us have trained ourselves into thinking that Words are nothing....

It made sense why, once we were running from the LORD with a Family member or a Friend, You might now face obstacles showing them what Jesus has done in your life.....If Before you were speaking things that were NOT Productive....Speaking things that did´nt produce Life...

It came to mind, How a smile and a genuine postitve word for a hurting soul can change that persons Life.  Because, we looked at the POSITIVE in their life, and brought it to Light, where it Could grow!

All in All it showed me some more of the POWER The Word has to Restore and Heal. 


I thank Jesus for this, and Pray He uses me...Always reminding me that the Bible says we will all stand before the Father, Held accountable for every word.


 As I strive to more like Jesus, and Not tryin to Make Jesus more like me.

Jesus, Shape&Mold My Full Leadership Potential

The Lord has wrote this Scripture on my Heart, and I think of it ATLEAST once a day.


"I will gladly spend and be completely spent for the sake of the Church."(2 Corinthians 12:15)

How many know Spiritual growth is a beautiful thing? THOUGH it can be VERY TOUGH at times, but thats where your Spirit of Endurance is being Trained....

Staying Focused and Remembering to keep your eyes fixed on Jesus is important.

As I have mentioned, Being in the Dominican Republic, and seeing the "Spiritual Realm" at a level I have never witnessed before has been eye opening,& Basically Life changing.

Some Of The Richest Times I´ve Spent W/ GOD Have Occurred right here in this Third World Country when I was in my most Humble Moments, Focused on one thing and one thing only, LETTING CHRIST SHINE THROUGH ME!!

As I reflect on my Prayers since I been here, I noticed that GOD has a way of speaking to me through literature(Books), that HE put on my, " To Read List"...in the Past, when my Desire 2 read was´nt as great.

I don´t believe it was GODs timing for me to read those Books then......

Only for me to grow, so HE could speak to me at a time where I could understand more clearly.  Of course, Ill never say I always get what He is saying, But I try with everything I got.

Anyway, without further delay, I came across some Books that contain A LEADERS PRAYER.

Where you ask the LORD to make you like some of the Greatest Leaders in the Bible...
Were All of these Leaders Perfect? NO! 
But there is something to be gain from each and everyone of them.

So I got 2 Prayin´...


Now JESUS is who I strive to be more like AT ALL TIMES.   
BUT, IF these other Leaders are in the Word of GOD, Then there MUST be something to LEARN!!


There as SO MANY 2 list, and their all good Leadership Traits, Here are a few you can start with;


-Joshua for his DECISIVENESS, In this point of my Walk, I openly admitt, I´m asking JESUS to Help me be more Like Joshua in this Area.

-You can read alot on Davids FAITH, Who would´nt Ask GOD for that?


-Peters initiative to be BOLD.  Yes He did alot of wrong. Yes He started 2 sink when he jumped outta the Boat and tried 2 walk on water.  BUT he was the Only Disciple 2 get outta the Boat!! I want More of that, I did it running from the LORD I want it Serving the LORD!!

-Jonathans LOVE is a HUGE One.  I know it was the Power of GODs Unconditional Love, and the Love of HIS Church that played a role in my personal Transformation..


-Josephs INTEGRITY.  I never want 2 abuse GODs gifts, Or compromise my priveledge of Serving in Ministry by way of Pride or anything for that matter.


Of course I had 2 say a short Prayer about the Leadership of the Apostle Paul.  For his INTENSITY.

When you read....Paul says:  "I do not consider my life as dear unto myself.  Only that I would achieve the mission that I have received from  the Lord."(Acts 20:24)


-LORD I want that Christ-Honoring, Apostle Paul like Intensity!
There are so many More Great Examples from the Bible THAT you better believe Im asking GOD to Mold me into, so I can be a Leader who effects Leaders, and effects others to wanna Lead, always staying Disciplined keeping my Life in the right Direction.   Im excited.

The Team In BRADDOCK,PA Launches A New Church!

Im Really Excited for my Brother Johnathon Shaffer and Ed Funk as they have prepered to bring the The Good News to Braddock, PA where I believe MANY JESUS Soliders will be made!!  

People will go from Thug Life 2 Speaking Life!!! I guess...Shackles & Chains will be broken!!   

I have personally been there, and grew up in an area very simular if not worse, So this tells me a couple things;

1) This area is in desperate need to hear the Gospel. 

2) The people that the Holy Spirit move on, will be very powerful for the Kingdom!!


Ed Funk is a Freedom House guy like myself, where we found MULTIPLE FREEDOMS because of JESUS, Knocking the Blinders from our eyes!!  Hes gone on to Live for Jesus Full Blast, Investing into the Lives of Others!!
(Oh yea, Ed just got married, if you see them, make sure to give em´congrats :)
Pastor Johnathon Shaffer, Originally from Braddock, IS a guy who the LORD brought into my Life right at a point where I thought it was impossible to come from the opposite Lifestyle, and Live for Jesus.When he pulled me to the side and told me the before and after, HOPE FLOODED my HEART!  

We had a lot in Common before JESUS, and now we SHARE alot in Common WITH JESUS

Both these men are Jesus Warriors and TRUE.  I LOVE these Guys!   

Since I stay trying to grow in the LORD, The LORD has opened many doors for me to grow into the Servant He has called me to be.  If your looking to invest into lives, there is many ways to get involved.

Maybe we can help eachother!!

Jesus has put something together, Im not quite sure What yet???, but I feel I need to think about possiblities. I been feeling called to plant a Church in the Dayton Area if Ohio, Several of SEVERAL Years from now.

oF COURSE Im called to Missions, but the Field is where your Serving!! And I feel thE Lord Wants 2 Better Equip our Callings that Each and Everyone of us have!!

With Braddocks Teams launch poppin off, WE can Serve, Learn, Train, and let Jesus build us...

I WANNA EXPLORE THE POSSIBLITIES of a place to work in the Pittsburgh area and a sleeping place or something, Where PEOPLE can study and sleep, Next 2 public transportation to get around to pay for these things, doing what needs 2 be done 2 persue OUR Calling to its full potential.

Of Course All this while serving!!
If I could get some tips on any of these many things, That would be GREAT!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!ALL THIS FROM THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks yall

DIOS ES AMOR - GOD IS LOVE

DEMONS AT WORK, JESUS 2 THE RESCUE!!!

Hey Everyone,

Heres a quick update, this is a letter from Mike Fleming to Gerry Stoltzfoos for the prayer chain Our Church offers;  

from Mike Fleming, our missionary from our own youth group- to the Dominican
Republic:

On Monday, Daniel and I went to visit another warlock, who is the head of
the
chapter located in the neighborhood of Padre Las Casas know as Buena Vista.
To
my surprise, this was an 18 year old boy! These demons seem to capture
these
children when they are young and innocent, and is usually passed down by
other
family members who were involved in "curanderismo, " or healing magic. They
insist it is not witchcraft, and what they do is done in the "name of God."
This
particular boy got his powers when he was 11, after apparently having been
visited by a spirit, who revealed to him everything he was to do. These
spirits
are thought by their followers to be canonized Catholic saints, or
indigenous
Taino indian warriors who reveal to them wisdom of healing and remedies.

To tell you the truth, talking this boy was like talking to the devil
himself:
not the evil scary idea of the devil, but the eloquent, deceitful, witty
personality of Satan who can recite scripture and twist it to fit whatever
he
wants. He is articulate and insightful, yet full of half truths
and accusations
toward the Christian church based on slightly exaggerated claims; just
what the
enemy does best. I realized that to go back, I will need to be well
prepared,
as the other warlock that I have been witnessing to seems to have
considerably
less maturity in his craft than this young man. I did not go to preach to
him
the first time, only to listen to him and learn a little bit of what we are
dealing with before proceeding forward. He was surprisingly friendly and
enthusiastic about speaking with us. He seemed to love the attention and
the
opportunity of a captive audience, which I am assuming other Christians have
not
given him in his previous encounters. This is what I would like for the
prayer
warriors of Freedom Valley to assist Daniel and I with, the spiritual
coverage
and wisdom to share the Gospel effectively and win these men to Christ.
Thank
you so much for all of your prayers and support.

~Mike

So thats a letter from Mike to Gerry, Below is my own add.

I think i shook hands with satan himself the other night.  Not the scary red satan, but the traits and the look in his eye.  This kid is just scary.  He is a healer and is completely fooled.  >Wierd things have been happening since we been converstaing with him. 

 He invited us to one of his rituals, at a Temple in the mounntains of San Jaun.  SO we invited him to a Bible Study.

 He ask if i was a movie star, Then proceded 2 say I look like a porn star that he has seen on TV before.  Hes very decietful, witty, and has the gift to preach.  BUT  We have built a relationship with him,.

The first time I met him, his old man was doin chores around the house with a pistol in the back of his pants, when he finally came over to defend his son,( when really we were just talking) it was pretty interesting. Finally his son(the warlock) told him to go on.

Anyway no worries, we are covered and protected BY THE BLOOD OF CHRIST.  Love yall.

We are determined to let JESUS do what he does best!!!

Mike Fleming & I Make Relationships With Local "Warlocks"

 Mike Fleming and I have been building a relationship with local warlocks.  We seem to be the only Christians they allow over to there house, PRAISE GOD!!  
In the back of there house is a Church, with many false idols, I mean multiple SCARY lookin´shrines, different saints and spirits they worship(about 50 or more if I had to count), and where alot of different disciples come and go.


We slowly but surely share Christ, in many differnt ways. 

The Lord has opened many avenues to build relationships, and show the LOVE of Jesus. 

In the past, one of these men told us how he was passing a Church one day, when the Worship Music drew him in to get a closer look(The Holy Spirit was on the Move if you ask us).  When he got to the door to enter the service, the Pastor and others were holding hands and Prayin´ , when they stopped and turned to him saying, "Look Satan is at the Door!".


He said he might be a Christian at this very moment if it was´nt for that.  When he told us that, Mike´s eyes watered up, and all he could say is We Are Sorry!!

That is the worst feeling when you try to get connected and can´t, I went for a long time feeling like the outsider at different Churches. 

Anyway, we are in the process of asking GOD for the means to buy a scooter from these fellaz, this scooter has done wonders for us, it is at a Missionary Price( It even has Bible compartments ), and is perfect for two guys to get around on to share Jesus.  Of course one of the main reasons for persuing this is the relationship it has built and would keep us in with these men. 

God uses the foolish things to confound the wise!

Scooters seem to be a big topic of discussion here in the DR, and a GREAT way to build relationships.

Please pray about this with us.

Prince Of Peace BaseBall

Prince Of Peace BaseBall

NEVER SAY NEVER

GOD continues to work out things that I used to LOVE as A child, that I thought I would never be involved with again.

One day I was talking with the Pastors from Prince of Peace, I had mentioned that ALOT of the U.S. best Baseball Players come out of the Dominican Republic, why don't I see any Ball teams here In Padre Las Casas??

Next thing I know, GOD worked it out for us to get Baseball Gloves from Compassion International so I can start working with the kids from the Center.  I had played Ball from a young age for about 10 years.  I thought Baseball was done in my life!!

I'm extremely excited about this!!

Another thing I thought was long lost, was Learning Spanish.  As A Young Boy growing up In Sacramento, California, two of my best friend were Mexican American.  Pete Mendoza, and Artullio(ART) Padilla, and just about everyone around me was Mexican American in SacTown.  So GOD put a desire in me to learn Spanish.  Once I had moved around, Landing in Ohio, that desire was no more.

GOD has been keeping me stretched and challenges me with Spanish daily here in the DR!

It seems that here lately, As I truly, Whole Heartedly Seek the LORD, I have really been getting vision and tuned in with the HOLY SPIRIT on some things.  I believe GOD wants me to start to study HIS Word here in Padre Las Casas, while serving here.  He has even presented differnet Universities that are convenient  with a schedule that allows me to Hold Baseball Practices, Continuing Spanish, and  serving where I can!  

I feel the Lord Tellin Me take this time to grow with no distractions...

As I talked about the things I felt the LORD was speaking to me about with My Brother N Christ Mike Flemming,  He looked at me and told me a story in the Bible about Paul:


Galatians 1:15 But even before I was born, God chose me and called me by his marvelous grace. Then it pleased him 16 to reveal his Son to me[e] so that I would proclaim the Good News about Jesus to the Gentiles.
When this happened, I did not rush out to consult with any human being.[f] 17 Nor did I go up to Jerusalem to consult with those who were apostles before I was. Instead, I went away into Arabia, and later I returned to the city of Damascus.18 Then three years later I went to Jerusalem to get to know Peter,[g] and I stayed with him for fifteen days. 19 The only other apostle I met at that time was James, the Lord’s brother. 20 I declare before God that what I am writing to you is not a lie.21 After that visit I went north into the provinces of Syria and Cilicia. 22 And still the Christians in the churches in Judea didn’t know me personally. 23 All they knew was that people were saying, “The one who used to persecute us is now preaching the very faith he tried to destroy!” 24 And they praised God because of me.



Mike was showing me the 3 years Paul took, because It doesnt say what Paul Did for those 3 Years??

Did he seek the LORD with no Wordly OR Past Distraction??

However As I write about this, I think that something FAR Greater is also showing me that its clear that Paul  just obeyed.

Jesus In the Dominican Republic

DIOS LE BENDIGA!

While I have the opportuntiy to blog about what the LORD has been doing , I´m going to! :)

So I have been here since the 30th of June and it has been non-stop learning and Holy Spirit Adventure.  Mike Flemming and the Pastors here in Padre Las Casas have been really patient and extremely kind.

In my first 3 days, We had a sit down with a Warlock, and invited a Witch in for Coffee.  VERY INTERESTING!!  I have got to see first hand how serious and REAL Spiritual Warfare is!!  Not that I didnt believe The Bible, There is just something about seeing a women´s Knees Healed right before your eyes, or a women set free from a Demon that possessed her.  AND OF COURSE ALL THESE THINGS HAPPENED ONLY IN THE NAME OF OR LORD AND SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST!!

Healings and Deliverances SEEM 2 be common around here!! SEEMS like some of the people are used to seeing them take place, ME? I´ll always enjoy watching the LORD work!!

Just a couple days ago, we went with an Evangilist while he preached the Gospel to the Mother of a Famous Musician from Padre Las Casas, who is a self-proclaimed Warlock, singing about his faith in his music!!  His Mother was quick to let us have his information!! And she seemed more than happy to confess her love for Jesus.

We have been priveledged 2 Pray for hurting Souls that were Deaf, Mute, Sick, or the BIGGEST, NOT SAVED!! 
This my Friends TRULY does something to the HEART!   There is no better feeling than To do what the Bible says, and lay hands on people and go to the LORD in Prayer. 




My Spanish continues to grow slowly but surely, I´m pretty hard on myself, BUT others seem to think it´s coming along good for the length of time I have been here.  GOD is Faithful, and loves 2 challenge us!!

To think, last time this year I´d be in a bar drinking right now, willing and dealing, all Hard Hearted TO NOW living in the Dominican Republic, learning Spanish and Telling people about about Jesus.

THANK YOU TO ALL OUR PRAYER WARRIORS AND SUPPORTERS!!  YÁLL ARE BLESSINGS TO ME!!

The Ramp Damon Thompson - Covenant with God

GROWING IN AREAS TO SERVE THE KINGDOM OF GOD

I Just wanna keep it real, as I got closer to departure, to go work with, whom I consider a great servant to the LORD, Mike Flemming, I started 2 get attacked on a level that I'm not sure I have ever been attacked!!

Don't get it TWISTED!!  I noticed it wasn't until little recognition was put out there.  The louder I got about my calling, the more I prepared for serving and sharing Jesus, and my God Sent support team that is praying for my arrival. 
The Enemy came through Friends, Family, and my Inner Self ( Flesh ).  AND I knew deep down inside, it was because of many points that Gerry hit on today in his sermons.  Like being in the WORD!!  I can't stress this enough 2 Y'all how important this is!!

So I did what the WORD told me, and tried in every way possible to stay in the Light, NOT allowing to leave myself vulnerable.

BIG THANK YOU 2 VAUGHN AND BRANDI CRAGO, and WAYNE REDDING!! I looked for y'all 2day at Church, so I could thank you and we could pray it up!!  I LOVE Y'ALL!!

Anyway Long story short, After Prayer with Colby Harris, (a Prayer Warrior from Johannes school, & a Sister in Christ), and Ed Funk at the Miracles Detectives Show(My Brother in Christ&A Prayer Warrior).  God started to reveal something to me on the way home from Pittsburgh.

The Word Dominion. 

I'm not sure what He was tryin' 2 reveal 2 me, BUT this WORD was obvious.  Colby kept seeing it also.  So we looked up many scriptures on this.  This is the one I'm gonna paste:

Dominion - a Christian perspective



When God created humans, He placed them in a position of authority--dominion--over the rest of creation. Mankind has a leadership role (and responsibility) in the grand scheme of creation.

The LORD is doin' sumptin' in and around me, I just can't figure it out.  just know its's 4 tha good!(I gotta stop tryin' to figure out the all mighty).


I leave the 29th for the Dominican Republic. Thanks Again to All, May the LORD Bless you Abundantly. Anyway...We are Praying that the things we do will change lives FOREVER, all the way around.





Jeremiah 14:7 (New Living Translation)

7 The people say, “Our wickedness has caught up with us, Lord,
but help us for the sake of your own reputation.
We have turned away from you
and sinned against you again and again.

Notice, its says, 'For the sake of HIS reputation'.


I'm out here worrying myself crazy, that Ima fail, Ima ruin MY Testimony?? When it should be HIS Testimony of what HE has done in me, around me, through me....well, I hope you get the point.

What I'm babblin' on about is, the GOD I SERVE is SO GREAT & POWERFUL, I've witnessed HIM use people ( including myself ) where ever, when ever, it didn't matter. He'll use you!

The Narrow Path, Road, Trail, whatever YOU wanna call it, is easier for some than others. You would think it would be easier for the LORD to use you when your on this narrow path, than when your not.

Doesn't always work that way. SORRY Y'all Ima keep it real.  HE IS GOD!!! PERIOD. 
BUT it does help to be a willing soul.AMEN?

IF! I'm out here sinnin', and knowin' I am, but TRULY in MY deepest Soul and Heart, I still LOVE AND TELL YOU ABOUT JESUS in a heartbeat, does that justify the backslide?? hmmmmmmm? 

I'm Definitely gonna say NO!!   SO, we gotta set that example for other 2 follow Jesus, to uphold HIS Reputation!!

 Ima keep fightin' the Enemy!! So I say to the ENEMY, Ima Pick the World Up and Drop It on Your Head.  YOU HAVE ALREADY LOST THE BATTLE ....And, I believe your worried!!

We have a generation of JESUS WARRIORS coming to the Front Lines! I mean Straight Soldiers!!

So, do what you do, JUST know I love JESUS, and Ima KEEP ON KEEPIN' till the day of HIS return!!
