Happy Tuesday!

It seems to me… we face the most resistance during the final steps to our greatest victories.

On Sunday, I announced to my church family, that I’m just 15 pages away from finishing my 4 year book project. 343 Word document pages now completed… a quotable line in EVERY paragraph! One book really can change the world… and Make Me a legend is written to do that!

Then, we went on to have the greatest church service @ Destiny Family Center in a year or more! It was a taste of heaven!

I can’t imagine the dark forces in my region are too happy with me right now. Who knows, I may have irritated a few national and international demons too.

Strike the Shepherd and the sheep will be scattered… Mark 14:27

If I was the devil, I would HUNT a man like me! I would commission all of hell to wipe this shepherd out… and I would do it FAST!

So, I asked for prayer, because I FELT the possibility of untold resistance at the finish line of such an impactful accomplishment!

I looked ahead, from where I was standing to the very short distance standing between me and the greatest victory of my life. And for a second, I wanted to turn back. The winds were blowing, the flames were white hot…

How right I was. Yesterday morning, around 10am… within a period of 10 minutes, I felt as if some beast walked into my office and beat me senseless. My whole body hurt… teeth, ears, bones, muscles, eyes, skin… even every blade of hair!

Here are two sections of scripture… my response to such last minute attempts to rip me down. You can use them for your own life situations!

Zechariah 3:1-2 Then the angel showed me Jeshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord. The Accuser, Satan, was there at the angel’s right hand, making accusations against Jeshua. And the Lord said to Satan, “I, the Lord, reject your accusations, Satan. Yes, the Lord, who has chosen Jerusalem, rebukes you. This man is like a burning stick that has been snatched from the fire.”

Joshua 1:5-9 No one will be able to stand against you as long as you live. For I will be with you as I was with Moses. I will not fail you or abandon you. “Be strong and courageous, for you are the one who will lead these people to possess all the land I swore to their ancestors I would give them. Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the instructions Moses gave you. Do not deviate from them, turning either to the right or to the left. Then you will be successful in everything you do. Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do. This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

So, today and every day this week, one day at a time, I will stand in faith… I will run my final steps all the way to the finish, with great grace. Be inspired to do the same concerning your own FINISHING STEPS. Don’t slow down, don’t turn back… never give in, never give up… you will WIN this long race, in just a few more days!

God bless you all… have a most triumphant day!

Internet problems today, not able to broadcast video… I’ll see you tomorrow.

Happy Monday!

I know I keep bragging to you guys about the amazingness of every church service @ Destiny Family Center! And just when I thought things could not get any better, yesterday happened! EVERY SECOND of that 10am service was like a PURE TASTE OF HEAVEN!

Aaron Huffer led our worship team with the BEST worship session in a YEAR! I felt like I was crossing over into another REALM at times… wanted it to last forever!

Dave Harman gave a POWERFUL prophecy at the end of worship, debunking Mr. Groundhog… saying that the long cold winter season is ending… and SPRING IS UPON US! Whether he was predicting warmer temperatures and bright sunshine in this physical world or a spiritual season of warmth and growth and fruitfulness, we all sensed the CHANGE!

Here’s the scripture Dave read to us:

Song of Solomon 2:10-13

My lover spoke and said to me,

“Arise, my darling,
my beautiful one, and come with me.

¹¹ See! The winter is past;
the rains are over and gone.

¹² Flowers appear on the earth;
the season of singing has come,
the cooing of doves
is heard in our land.

¹³ The fig tree forms its early fruit;
the blossoming vines spread their fragrance.
Arise, come, my darling;
my beautiful one, come with me.”

After Dave’s prophecy, we heard stories from yesterdays Washington DC Homeless Outreach Team… it was moving… VERY MOVING!

Then, we were privileged with a BEAUTIFUL SONG from Jazmin Howard, she’s ELEVEN!

The sermon was PROFOUND, if I do say so myself! I felt God possessed my body and made his appeal through me… the channel was OPEN, every single word felt to be INSPIRED… and what a difference it seemed to be MAKING!

Two people responded to my invitation, they came forward and gave their hearts to Jesus!

We spent the next hour praying for people and hearing stories about how much transformation took place during that service!

Then for the rest of the day, our friends Chef Danny & Dolly Leslie came to our house… they brought my daughter culinary gifts and cooked lunch and dinner and pastries for 5 straight hours. What a TIME WE HAD! Josh & Brittany Wade came over and helped us EAT… and that we DID… all day long!

We went to bed at 10:30pm… fell asleep thanking God for the fires of last year and how they TESTED and PROVED our friendships! I am the richest man in the world… loved and appreciated by a BOAT LOAD of BEAUTIFUL FAMILY & FRIENDS!

Selah! (emphasis)

More photo’s from the DC Outreach…

Happy Sunday!

Yesterdays outreach was AMAZING!

This is “Lance.” He was the first man we reached… our team showed him love like he hasn’t felt in MANY years… the impact was so profound, it made me cry walking back to the vans.

This is “Lance’s” house in downtown Washington DC. He lived here straight through the 3 foot snow storm!

You cant see it well in this photo… but a group of something like 50 teenagers from England walked passed us while we were blessing “Hank” and Gerald invited them to gather around… and everyone of them prayed to accept Christ, with great enthusiasm! Only God knows which of them will go on to serve him… but the seed was planted!

A group of our ladies reached out to this lady… she told us she had no value in this world… and she was just going to spend the rest of her days staying out of the way.

The outreach was profound beyond words! We touched the lives of HUNDREDS of homeless people in the streets of Washington DC yesterday! Every person on our team made an eternal difference for some homeless person. To God be all the glory!

I’m out of time this morning… have to go shower and brush my teeth for todays service at Destiny Family Center. I pray you all a most triumphant day!
