I am trying to sleep but the slumber leaves because of all the connections at the Alabama District Council where the Council celebrated one hundred years. Everything was nice and full of great remembrances and bench marks. I have been a part of the Assemblies of God and the Alabama District since 1972. I joined a little church in north Alabama and struggled about the decision. But the last 43 years have been very fruitful and I have nothing but good memories of the pastor and Church I started at, the churches I was a pastor, the people, the leaders and all the great opportunities.

Promotions, Opportunities and Wealth are coming your way!
I preach a lot about faith. The preaching I do about faith is not the type that has people bringing you their seed money or new cars and such. The message I believe is the type of faith message that gets you ran out of town.
Fight the fight of faith
Missionary Charles Greenaway used to say, “If you want Pentecostal power put yourself in a position to need Pentecostal power!” The Believer who makes a difference is the person who walks on God’s Word and lives by God’s promises. Until we quit meandering through the valleys of ease and ignoring the mountains of challenge we will never win the victories needed for this generation. The midgets we wrestle with should be left for the fight with the giants who have homesteaded on the property God meant for us! God has positioned us for the greatest move of His Spirit of any generation. Let’s move into position for the fight for souls and not the easy selfish life!
Be a Miracle!
Definition of a miracle – “any amazing or wonderful occurrence.” Of course there is more to this word,”Miracle!” It can be something that is supernatural and that which only God can do. I wonder though how many miracles are left undone because we never realize that each of us has the power to release a miracle in someone’s life. We all have in us, around us or on us the miracle of someone’s need. To us that thing may be so insignificant that we are just kicking it around to get it out of our way. To us it is insignificant and small but to the person needing it, it is a miracle.
Maybe it is a idea, a good word, a kind word, an expression, a old car, a old computer, a book or maybe just a little money! What you have should not be stored up in the barns of your life but released in the field of other people. Look for those people which you can invest love and resources. You may never know or understand the miracle or the power of the seed in your possession. So do you do this to receive a great harvest? Please, quit being and living such a selfish existence! Let go of such thinking! Your life is a seed planter or a seed barn. Burn the barn if that is all it is about! A seed planter can never build enough barns to hold all thy God wants to get through them! The joy of being a miracle in the lives of others is a great reward for those who search for the miracle needed and the resources released!
leave the graveyard for the dead
Luke 24:5 Why do you look among the dead for the living?
