LAST SUNDAY WE REMEMBERED 9/11 THE COWARDLY ATTACK ON OUR NATION OVER FOUR YEARS AGO – AND OH HOW FRESH IT WAS IN OUR MEMORY – ON FRIDAY THE PRESIDENT CALLED FOR A DAY OF REMEMBRANCE FOR THE VICTIMS OF HURRICANE KATRINA - AND THIS MORNING GOD IS CALLING ON US HIS REMNANT – TO A DAY OF REMEMBRANCE – REMEMBER WHO WE ARE, WHOSE WE ARE, WHY WE WERE CALLED AND THE PRIZE PAID FOR OUR FREEDOM.
2PETER 1:12-13 – WHEREFORE I WILL NOT BE NEGLIGENT TO PUT YOU ALWAYS IN REMEMBRANCE OF THESE THINGS, THOUGH YOU KNOW THEM, AND BE ESTABLISHED IN THE PRESENT TRUTH

YEA, I THINK IT MEET, AS LONG AS I AM IN THIS TABERNACLE TO STIR YOU UP BY PUTTING YOU IN REMEMBRANCE” AND THIS IS MY MISSION TODAY TO CALL YOU TO REMEMBRANCE – THAT ACCORDING TO 1 THES. 2 : 12 THAT YE WOULD WALK WORTHY OF GOD, WHO HATH CALLED YOU UNTO HIS KINGDOM AND GLORY. AS STATED IN THE NEW LIVING TRANSLATION – WE PLEADED WITH YOU, ENCOURAGED YOU, AND URGED YOU TO LIVE YOUR LIVES IN A WAY THAT GOD WOULD CONSIDER WORTHY FOR HE CALLED YOU TO SHARE IN HIS KINGDOM AND GLORY- IT IS A CALL THIS MORNING FOR EACH OF US TO STIR UP THE GIFT OF GOD WITHIN . WHY WERE WE CALLED BY GOD – WAS IT MERELY TO ESCAPE ETERNAL SAPARATION FROM GOD – THERE IS A GREATER PURPOSE –

JESUS CAME TO DESTROY THE WORKS OF THE DEVIL – HE TOOK BACK OUR INHERITANCE – AND BEFORE HE DEPARTED THIS WORLD – HE GAVE US THE KEY TO THE KINGDOM WITH IT CAME POWER AND AUTHORITY – HE SAID NOW GO AND DO LIKEWISE – CONTINUE TO DESTROY THE WORKS OF THE ENEMY, DESTROY HIS SCHEMES AND PLANS – KEEP FIGHTING FOR YOUR INHERITANCE - PUT THE DEVIL ON THE RUN BY DECLAREING WHO WE ARE IN CHRIST. THE SAME HOLY GHOST POWER THAT RAISE ME FROM THE DEAD WILL BE IN YOU – SIGNS AND WONDERS SHALL FOLLOW THEM THAT BELIEVE – IN MY NAME SHALL THEY CAST OUT DEVILS, AND THEY SHALL SPEAK WITH NEW TONGUES – THEY SHALL TAKE UP SERPENTS AND IF THEY DRINK ANY DEADLY THING IT SHALL NOT HURT THEM, THEY SHALL LAY HANDS ON THE SICK AND THEY SHALL RECOVER. THIS WORD WAS NOT SPOKEN ONLY TO THE PASTORS, TO THE EVANGELIST – BUT TO ALL WHO BELIEVE – TO THE BODY OF CHRIST – WE ALL HAVE A LEVEL OF THE ANOINTING – BUT WE MUST LEARN HOW TO OPERATE IN THAT ANOINTING BY FAITH – WE ALL HAVE THAT CREATIVE POWER TO CALL THOSE THINGS THAT ARE NOT AS THOUGH THEY WERE THUS BRINGING GLORY AND HONOR TO THE KINGDOM. WE ALL HAVE BEEN GIVEN ACCESS TO ALL OF HEAVEN RESOURCES - FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF THE KINGDOM –

ON THE DAY CHRIST DIED THE ENEMY AND HIS HENCH MEN TURNED CHARTWHEEL – THERE WAS GREAT JUBILATION IN HELL - WE KILLED HIM - BUT I WOULD HAVE LIKE TO HAVE BEEN THERE TO SEE THE LOOK ON THEIR FACE WHEN THE FULL NESS OF GOD’S PLAN WAS FINALLY REVEALED AND THE DEVIL REALIZED THAT HE WAS WHIPPED – HE WAS DETHRONED - MADE POWERLESS OVER THE SAINTS – HIS PLAN SINCE THEN IS TO STOP THE WILL OF GOD AND THE PROMISES FROM BEING FULFILLED IN OUR LIVES – HENCE HE WILL USE EVERY MEANS POSSIBLE TO HINDER THE GROWTH OF THE KINGDOM- AND HOW OFTEN WE ACCOMMODATE HIM BY CONTINUING TO LIVE BELOW OUR CHRISTIAN PRIVELEDGE. BUT TODAY I’M HERE TO SOUND THE TRUMPET – ISSUING A CALL TO GOD’S PEOPLE TO ARISE FROM THEIR SLEEP - IT IS TIME TO WALK IN OUR DESTINY- IT IS TIME TO TAKE BACK THE KINGDOM BY FORCE – IT IS TIME TO DECLARE WAR ON THE ENEMY – AND SAY NOW MORE – THE BUCK STOPS HERE – I AM CALLED INTO HIS KINGDOM AND TO HIS GLORY – AND I WILL BRING HIM GLORY BY THE LIFE THAT I LIVE – IT IS TIME FOR ME TO GET SERIOUS ABOUT THE LORD - TODAY HE WILL BECOME MY PASSION FOR LIFE – TODAY HE WILL BE THE FIRE THAT BURNS INSIDE OF ME – TODAY I HAVE MADE UP MY MIND – I AM DERTERMINED – I WILL FOLLOW JESUS

WE HAVE BEEN SEPARATED FROM THE WORLD – SEPARATED UNTO GOD – CALLED OUT FROM THE WORLD SYSTEM INTO A SYSTEM OF RIGHTOUSNESS AND HOLY LIVING – BUT SO MANY OF US (LIKE OUR PASTOR PREACHED A FEW SUNDAYS AGO) ARE CALLED TO THE KINGDOM BUT OUR HEART STILL LONGS FOR THE WORLD. IF WE ARE TO BRING GOD GLORY AS CITIZENS OF HIS KINGDOM WE MUST MAKE A CLEAN BREAK FROM THE WORLD- GOD WILL NOT ACCEPT DIVIDED LOYALTY – HIS PROCLAMATION IS THAT I AM A JEALOUS GOD NO ONE, NOTHING WILL SHARE IN MY GLORY , I HAVE SAVED YOU FROM THE JAWS OF DEATH AND I DESERVE AND DESIRE YOUR FULL ALLEGENCE - HE SAID I AM MORE THAN ENOUGH FOR YOU – IF YOU PURSUE ME – AND HUNGER AND THIRST AFTER ME DAILY – LET THERE BE A RELENTLESS PURSUIT OF ME – IF YOU TURN TO ME WITH ALL YOU HEART, SOUL, MIND, AND STRENGTH YOU WILL FIND THAT NO ONE SATISFIES YOU LIKE I DO – HE IS SAYING ARE YOU HOLDING ON TO THE WORLD FOR ITS PLEASURE – COME TO ME - AT MY RIGHT HAND THERE ARE PLEASURES FOR EVERMORE – COME DRINK FROM MY RIVER OF PLEASURE – DO YOU WANT JOY – THE JOY OF THE WORLD IS SHORT LIVED IT IS FRIKLE AND CANNOT BE COMPARED TO THE JOY AND UNSPEAKEABLE AND FULL OF GLORY THAT IS FOUND IN MY PRESENCE.

ARE YOU BUSY PURSUING SUCCESS , INCREASE, AND PROMATION ACCORDING TO THE DICTATES OF THIS WORLD – HE IS SAYING THERE IS INCREASE IN THE KINGDOM, THERE IS PROMOTION IN THE KINGDOM– THE ONE THAT HAS ETERNAL GRATIFICATION. GOD IS SAYING WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR MY PEOPLE WHO ARE CALLED BY MY NAME TO SERVE ME – TO BECOME THE PEOPLE I ENVISIONED THEM TO BE – TO SEEK ME FIRST – I HAVE FED YOU, CLOTHED YOU, SHELTERED YOU, YET YOU REMAIN FAR FROM ME – HE SAID IN ISAIAH – HEAR, O HEAVENS, AND GIVE EAR, O EARTH: FOR THE LORD HATH SPOKEN – I HAVE NOURISHED AND BROUGHT UP CHILDREN, AND THEY HAVE REBELED AGAINST ME – THE OX KNOWTH HIS OWNER, AND THE ASS HIS MASTER’S CRIB: BUT ISREAL DOTH NOT KNOW – MY PEOPLE DOTH NOT CONSIDER. THE CALL TODAY IS FOR US TO CONSIDER OUR WAYS - IF WE MUST COME BEFORE HIM IN SACKCLOTH AND ASHES DO SO – FOR AS A PEOPLE WE ARE NOT WHERE WE ARE TO BE WITH AND IN THE LORD. WE CANNOT BE SATISFIED WHERE WE ARE FOR THERE IS SO MUCH MORE TO BE HAD – JESUS SAID WHEN I GO TO MY FATHER, THOSE WHO BELIEVE, THE THINGS THAT I DO THEY WILL DO AND EVEN GREATER THINGS – WE HAVE TO ASK THE QUESTIONS WHAT WERE THE THINGS THAT HE DID AND I AM I DOING THEM - WHY IS THE CHURCH LIVING BEL0W HIS PRIVILEGE – WE ARE TOO BUSY WITH THE THINGS OF THE WORLD – WE ARE TOO BUSY WITH BUSY WORK – OUR PRIORITIES ARE MISALIGNED - WORSHIPPING THE FATHER HAPPENS IF WE HAVE TIME – OR IF WE FIND TIME IN OUR BUSY SCHEDULE –

I AM REMINDED OF THE STORY OF MARY AND MARTHA AS TOLD IN LUKE CHAPTER 10 - WE ARE TOLD THAT JESUS SHOWED UP FOR A VISIT – MARY SAT AT THE FEET OF JESUS – SHE TOOK HER PLACE OF WORSHIP –LISTENING TO WHAT HE TAUGHT - MARTHA ON THE OTHER HAND WAS DISTRACTED BY THE DINNER SHE WAS PREPARING AND SAID TO THE MASTER – DOESN’T IT SEEM UNFAIR THAT MY SISTER JUST SITS HERE WHILE I DO ALL OF THE WORK. TELL HER TO COME AND HELP ME – I COULD IMAGINE JESUS SMILING AT MARTHA – BEING THE COMFORTER THAT HE IS – GOING OVER AND TAKING HER BY THE HANDS – MY DEAR MARTHA HE SAYS , YOU ARE WORRIED AND UPSET OVER ALL THESE DETAILS, BUT THE ONLY THING WORTH BEING CONCERN ABOUT MARY HAS DISCOVERED IT AND IT WILL NOT BE TAKEN FROM HER. HAVE YOU FOUND YOUR POSITION IN HIM – A PLACE OF WORSHIP – FOR THOSE ARE WHOM HE SEEKS MEN AND WOMEN IN THE KINGDOM WHO WILL WORSHIP HIM IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH. ONLY THEN CAN WE TRULY BRING HIM GLORY – THE ENEMY SEEKS TO TAKE AWAY OUR POSITION OF WORSHIP FOR HE KNOWS IF HE QUIETS US WE CANNOT WREAK HAVOC ON HIS KINGDOM THUS DESTROYING THE POWERS OF DARKNESS.

BUT SAINTS LETS US NOT GIVE HIM AND INCH - LET US CHOSE TO SHOUT – SHOUT UNTILL THE WALLS HE TRIES TO BUILD UP AROUND US COME CRUMBLING DOWN. SHOUT WITH A VOICE OF TRIUMPH. IT IS ABOUT TIME WE GIVE THE DEVIL A BLACK EYE. DON’T MESS WITH A CHILD OF GOD –WASHED IN THE BLOOD. WE HAVE TO BE CERTAIN THAT THE LIFE WE LIVE REFLECTS THIS - IT MUCH REFLECT KINGDOM LIVING.

WHEN A NEW BORN BABY IS BORN – THAT NEW LIFE ENTERS THIS WORLD A NOVICE – NOT KNOWING ANYTHING – AND HAS TO BE TAUGHT HOW TO WALK, HOW TO LOVE, TO READ THE LIST GOES ON – WE TOO WHEN WE COME INTO THE KINGDOM – AS NEW BORN BABES MUST BE TAUGHT – HOW TO TALK LIKE CHRIST, HOW TO WALK IN THE SPIRIT, WE MUST BE TAUGHT KINGDOM LIVING – OUR SPIRIT IS REBORN BUT OUR FLESH IS STILL ATTACHED TO THE WORLD SYSTEM – BUT WE MUST CUT THE UNBLIBICAL CORD – THE FLESH NEEDS TO BE RENEWED – THE SOULISH REALM MUST CATCH UP TOTHE SPIRIT REALM – AND SO MANY OF US DO NOT GO ON TO KNOW THE LORD – WE CONTINUE TO FEED ON MILK AND FOR MANY OF US THE EXPIRY DATE HAS COME AND GONE AND WE ARE STILL DRINKING THE SAME MILK – MANY DID NOT LINGER IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD FOR HIS SPIRIT TO CLEAN US UP – WASH AWAY THE STRENTCH OF SIN, WE DID NOT LINGER TO CONTINUE THE PROCESS OF BEING SANCTIFIED AND CLEANSED BY THE WASHING OF THE WATER BY THE WORD – WE HAVE NOT GONE ON TO KNOW THE LORD – WE ARE IN THE KINGDOM AND STILL SMELL LIKE THE WORLD, WE LOOK LIKE THE WORLD, WE ACT LIKE THE WORLD, WE TALK LIKE THE WORLD – SAINTS WE MUST REALIZE FLESHLY OPERATION WILL NEVER GIVE BIRTH TO SPIRITUAL MANIFESTATIONS - FOR US TO BE TRULY WALKING IN VICTORY WE MUST DIE DAILY TO BE FLESH – IN THIS CHRISTIAN WALK WE WILL HAVE TO DIE A THOUSAND DEATHS – WE MUST BECOME DEAD MEN AND DEAD WOMEN WALKING – ON LY THEN WILL THE SPIRIT OF GOD BE IN FULL CONTROL OF OUR LIVES – BRINGING ABOUT THE VICTORYS THAT ARE OURS – THAT HAVE BEEN PLANNED FROM THE BEGINNING OF TIME WE NEED TO CONSIDER OUR WAYS AND TAKE A LOOK AT OUR LIVES – IS HE BEING GLORIFIED IN OUR LIVES

– GOD IS CALLING ON US TO RE-EXAMINE, REVIEW, RE ASSESS, REWIND THE TAPE OF OUR LIVES AND SEE WHERE WE WENT WRONG – WHERE WE LOST OUR FOCUS – MANY ALSO STARTED OUT FIRED UP FOR THE LORD BUT SOME WAY ALONG THE WAY LOST THEIR ZEAL – HE IS SAYING I AM STILL WAITING FOR YOU – THE WORK IS NOT FINISHED –I AM NOT FINISHED WITH YOU – GREAT BLESSINGS AWAIT YOU – RETURN TO ME – THE LORD REVEALED TO ME THE ATHLETE AND COACH RELATIONSHIP. BOTH STRATIGIZES A GAME PLAN TO WIN THE RACE – THE OLYMPIC GOLD MEDAL – THE ULTIMATE REWARD FOR AN ATHLETE. AT THE END OF THE RACE, IF THAT RUNNER LOSES OR RAN UNDER OR OBOVE THE TARGET TIME – THEY BOTH WILL REVIEW THE TAPE TO SEE IF THE RUNNER STUCK TO THE GAME PLAN – THE COACH EXAMINES EVERY MINUTE DETAIL – THE RUNNERS START, HIS POSTURE – THE WAY HE RAN THE RACE – AND CHANGES ARE MADE – NEW STRATEGIES ARE EMPLOYED – LIKE WISE GOD IS CALLING ON US TODAY TO EXAMINE OUR LIVES – DID WE STICK TO HIS PLAN OF ACTION FOR OUR LIVES- DID WE GO OFF COURSE AND WHY – FOR HIS PLAN IS FULL PROVE IT NEEDS NO READJUSTMENT – IT NEEDS NO REVISION –

GOD WANTS HIS PEOPLE TO BE READY FOR THE OUT POURING OF HIS SPIRIT – IN EVERY GENERATION THERE IS A MIGHTY MOVE OF GOD – HE IS CALLING ON US NOT TO BE CAUGHT UNPREPARED LIKE THE FIVE FOOLISH VIRGINS BARING IN MIND THAT OUR GENERATION IS ONE GENERATION CLOSER TO HIS RETURN – QUESTION IS ARE WE LIVING TODAY WITH ETERNITY IN MIND – REALIZING THAT FROM THE DAY WE BECAME BORN AGAIN AND CALLED INTO HIS KINGDOM – WE HIS BRIDE ARE BEING PREPARED FOR THE RETURN OF THE BRIDEGROOM – HOW PREPARED ARE WE – HOW IS THE BEAUTIFICATION PROCESS – ARE WE PREPARING OUR VESSELS FOR THE MIGHTY OUT POURING THE SPIRIT OF GOD – FOR HE SAID I WILL POUR OUT MY SPIRIT ON ALL MEN – ON THE WOMEN – ON THE SERVANTS – THE YOUNG MEN/WOMEN WILL SEE VISION AND THEY WILL PROPHECY AND THE OLD MEN WILL DREAM DREAMS - ARE WE IN PREPARATION FOR THE LATTER RAIN – OR WILL WE FIND OURSELVES SAYING LIKE JACOB SURELY THE LORD WAS IN THIS PLACE AND I WAS NOT AWARE OF IT. TODAY IF YOU HERE MY VOICE HARDEN NOT YOUR EARS – BUT LET THOSE WHO HAVE EARS TO HEAR – HEAR WHAT THE SPIRIT IS SAYING TO THE CHURCH – ARISE AND TAKE YOUR GOD ORDAINED POSITION. BE ALL THAT GOD HAS CALLED YOU TO BECOME - STOP SEEKING AFTER EARTHLY GO0DS BUT SEEK GOD FIRST – FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS NOT MEAT AND DRINK BUT RITHOUSNESS, PEACE AND JOY IN THE HOLY GHOST.

I AM CHALLENGING YOU TODAY TO SPEND THE REST OF THIS WEEK SEEKING MORE OF GOD – BEGIN BY CASTING ALL YOUR CARES UPON HIM - HE KNOWS YOU HAVE NEEDS – AND HE HAS ALREADY SUPPLIED THEM ACCORDING TO HIS RICHES IN GLORY – SEEK HIS FACE – CRY OUT FOR MORE OF HIM – TELL HIM YOU WANT TO KNOW HIM AND THE POWER OF HIS RESURRECTION – ASK HIM AM I WALKING IN MY DESTINY AND IF NOT ASK HIM FOR THE DESIRE TO PURUSE IT WITH RELENTLESS PURSUIT – LORD AM I BRINGING YOU GLORY – GO AFTER GOD WITH EVERY FIBER OF YOUR BEING – PRESS IN, PUSH THROUGH, AND PURSUE. HE HAS TOUCHED YOU ONCE WHEN HE FIRST SAVED YOU – ASK HIM TO TOUCH YOU AGAIN – ONE MORE TOUCH SO THAT I MIGHT SEE CLEARLY, HEAR SHARPLY , RUN SWIFTLY - TOUCH ME LORD – TOUCH ME ONCE AGAIN - I DON’T WANT TO BE THE SAME – I WANT TO BRING YOU GLORY – I WANT TO TAKE MY RIGHT PLACE IN YOU KINGDOM – I WANT EVERY PART OF ME TO COME IN PERFECT ALIGNMENT WITH YOUR WORD – TOUCH ME HOLY SPIRIT – TODAY I TAKE MY HAND OFF MY LIFE – AND PLACE IN IT YOURS – TODAY I SURRENDER TO YOU AS MY LORD – TOUCH ONCE AGAIN - LORD I AM NOT LEAVING YOUR PRESENCE UNTIL YOU BLESS ME - THE CRY OF MY HEART IS TO LOVE YOU MORE TO LIVE WITH THE TOUCH OF YOUR HANDS STRONGER EACH DAY – TOUCH ME LORD!!!!
