Little about me

I believe God has (in His Own Way) called me to share with my fellow man and brother (In Christ) my story. This summer during the 21 day fast and prayer I was convicted by The Spirit to really read the Book of Acts. Now I have to tell you that before this I don't think I ever read Acts. I didn't get it before if I had read it. Bottom line is through The Book of Acts I learned in a personal way I, like Paul, have to GO and preach the story of my "conversion" or "transformation". Like what happened to Saul on his way to Damascus, I too have had moment(s) where The Lord Has Spoken to me. Strange as it may sound coming from me I understand. Let my actions be my voice of truth when I say "I must go out and prepare His People(s) for His Glorious Return!"

That is a BOLD statement and to take it further, I must LEAD this mission! For a time I saw the vision and hoped it was to be done BUT by someone else. The idea of being a "hand" or "arm" of The Body of Christ was for the "good christians" in a big church somewhere else. This was my thinking even though I saw what was to happen.

For the Kingdom to Come, and I use the word "Kingdom" because Jesus Spoke of This Place more than any other, the world as we know it is and will change. Look back upon the history of man. Humans/His People has never seen a time in history where "change" moves SO rapidly! Never before has His People lived in the shadow of a world of men who have the capability of complete destruction of the world globe! With all the scientific technology today, man is proving the world does not need God. I could write many ways this is the "thinking" of many people today.

One of the missions I feel lead to do and serve is the strengthening of my fellow man and brother in Christ. What I have learned myself, one who has hit bottom and banged around 40 years of life, is I AM NOT ALONE!!! Men, we need each other! As iron sharpens iron so do we NEED each other! Only together will the enemy flee because of the Courage that He Gave to His Warriors! The world needs now and in the future Godly men with Godly Courage in Action. My challenge is to find the unbeliever and wake my brothers in Christ.

I have to admit something. I have had some negativity towards pastors of these large "mega" churches who don't live in the real world. Don't get me wrong, I do believe He Does Great and Mighty things through these men and their books/causes. I don't know, maybe money would change my day to day way of living BUT I pray that I always remain humble in my free will.
My pastor Roger has referred to a Rick Warren statement over the course of the last 2 years. Rick speaks of the church experiencing a kind of "reform" again. Reformation that moves The Body of Christ! Listening to Roger's passion about this theology is conformation to me that a movement or mission IS taken place! This idea has always kinda excited me when Pastor Roger preaches on a future reform and Christians becoming strong again. Sadly too long did I listen with deaf hears and scales over my eyes BUT NO LONGER.
-btw- Rick Warren, I publicly say "I was wrong" about you. Maybe your gift is that of catching the attention of these New Godly Warriors!
