Thank you and may God Bless you, Rev_STNichols, I've been to chruch in Memphis, however I'm straight out of Chicago, you know, The Windy city. Yea, I agree that we have to learn to get out of the boat to do something positive according to His purpose in the Kingdom of God. I'm also encouraged by Peter, especially since he knew to stay on God's path of righteousness. Be encouraged, Your Brother in Christ, Minister Moseley.

"Therefore do not worry and be anxious." (Matt. 6:31, The Amplified Bible). Don't Worry. God is vehemently against worry. Jesus preached against it. Paul preached against it. The whole Bible preaches against worry because it was designed by Satan to produce stress, strain, and death. Yet many of us still act as if it is an option, as if we're free to worry if we want to. But we're not! Worrying is a sin. It's one of those things the Word of God directly commands us not to do. What are you supposed to do then with all the concerns you have about your problems? In I Peter 5:7, God says you should "cast them all upon Him." All. Not 75% of them. Not all of them but the ones about your kids. All of them! Your confession every morning should be, "I do not have a care in this world because I've cast every one of them onto my Lord." If Satan brings a worried thought to your mind, saying, "What if this terrible thing happens?" then you can tell him, to talk to God about it. It's in His hands, not yours! Once you do that, changes will start to take place in your life. Problems you've been fretting about for years will start being solved. You'll no longer be tying God's hands with your worrying. His power can begin to operate because you've acted in faith and cast your cares on Him! Remember, though, God will not take your cares away from you. You have to give them to Him. Then you have to replace those worries with the Word. You are the one who has to keep your thoughts under control. But you can do it. The Greater one dwells within you. He is able to put you over. Commit to it. You'll never have to worry again. In the Name of Jesus. Amen.

Whoa! Sunday school is for nerds. *snap* (lights off)

How would you like it if I rearranged your face?

"The Lord said unto my Lord, sit thou on my right hand, until I make thy foes thy footstool." (Acts 2:34-35). Under Your Feet. Even though Satan lost all his authority on this earth the day Jesus rose from the dead, for the past 2,000 years he's been running aroound as a spiritual outlaw-- continuring to kill, steal from, and destroy all who will let him. But he's not going to be able to do that much longer. There's coming a day when he's going to be put out of business completely. There's coming a day when the evil he's done here on earth will be put totally underfoot by the Power of God. Most believers know that's true. They've shouted and rejoiced over it--but they haven't really understood how it's going to happen. They haven't realized that they are the foot that's going to trample down the works of the devil! Jesus is the Head of the Church. You and I are the feet. We are the ones who are going to take His Authority and Power and stomp on sin and sickness and every other demoic thing in this earth. We are the ones God is going to use as Acts 2:35 says, to make Jesus' enemies His footstool. That's what Jesus was telling us when He said, "Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature....lay hands on the sick and ....cast out devil" (Mark 16:15-18). He was saying, "Go ye and be My feet." He was saying, "All Power and Authority has been given unto Me both in heaven and in earth. Therefore you take it and use it to put the devil under." But insead of obeying Him, we've waited around wondering when God was going to do something about this mess here on earth. We've sat around wondering why it's takking so long for Jesus to come back. We're the reason it's taking so long! Jesus is waiting on you and me. He's waiting on us to step out in His Power, put the devil in his place and win the world.........................................................................................................

He's waiting on us to drop our silly doctrinal differences and get busy doing what God said we should do. The Bible says that one can put a thousand to flight and two can put ten thousand to flight. Every time we get together, we increase our strength astronomically. If we'd just get together and figure out who we are, if we'd realize that we're the feet of Jesus, we could kick Satan out of earth's affairs with ease. Do you want to hasten Jesus' return? Then quit sitting around staring at the clouds! Start putting the works of the serpent under your feet and we can wrap this thing up and go home to glory real soon! In the Name of Jesus. Amen.

"Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad, moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope: Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption." (Acts 2:26-27). Our Only Hope is Jesus. Twenty-one years ago, God said something to me that will mark my ministry forever. The only hope that any man has anywhere in the world is faith in Jesus Christ. In light of what's happening around us today, the truth of the statement is more painfully obvious than ever before. We are a genearation with diseases no man can heal, with problems no man can solve. What fleeting successes we have are quickly overshadowed by new and greater crises. All too often, that's as true for believers as it is for unbelievers. It shouldn't be. But it is. Believers are being killed by the same diseases that are devastating the rest of the world. They're being plagued by the same problems. And many are walking around without hope--just like the rest of the world. Why? Because the only hope that any man has is faith in Jesus Christ. And the majority of Christians don't know how to live by faith. Instead of being filled with the Word and with faith, they've been stuffed full of religious tradition and superstition. And they're suffering. When the devil hits them with sickness and disease, with poverty or depression or divorce, they often stand by helplessly as it destroys them. They simply don't know what else to do. The Bible says, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge..." (Hos. 4:6). But you know. Your hope is in Jesus. Trust Him. And tell the world--their hope is in Him too. In the Name of Jesus. Amen.

"Can two walk together, except they be agreed." (Amos 3:3). Get Yourself Together. When it comes to faith, a lot of believers feel like they have one foot nailed to the ground. No matter how hard they try, they just can't seem to make any progress. If you'll watch them, you can see why. They literally haven't "Gotten Themselves Together." One minute they'll be telling, "Oh yes, amen, I believe the Word, and the next minute they'll be spouting unbelief like it's going out of style. "I know God says He'll prosper us, but I'll tell you why my business is doing so badly, it's about to give me ulcers. I can't sleep at night for worrying." Dig a little deeper and you may find out that they've pulled their actions out of line with the Word as well. "Well, you understand, brother. I can't possibly "tithe" with my income like it is. I'll go under." Faith just won't work for a person like that. You see, you're a triune being. You are a spirit. You have a soul, which consists of your mind, will, and emotions. And you live in a body. Each of those areas has a specific role to play in your faith walk. You have to get all three in agreement before you can go anywhere at all! Start by feeding your spirit on the Word of God. Just like the body produces physical strength when you nourish it with food, the spirit produces spiritual strength when you nourish it with the Word. That spiritual strength is called faith. Develop that faith, and instead of your spirit being dominated by the other two areas, it will be the one in charge. Next, bring your soul in line. Set your mind on "things above." Meditate on the Word until your thoughts begin to agree with it. Keep your attention on it until even your emotions yield...............................................................................

Finally, bring your body in line. Once you truly get your spirit and soul established on the Word, that won't be hard. The body is a follower, not a leader. It will do whatever you train it to do. Begin teaching your body to act on tne truth you've planted in your mind and spirit and it will follow right along. Don't try to walk in faith with you foot nailed to the ground. Get Yourself Together! Bring your spirit, soul, and body in harmony--and the Word will take you as far as you want to go. In the Name of Jesus. Amen.

"And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us." (I John 4:16). Believe the Love. One day I was walking along a highway through a park praying and I asked a simple question, "Lord, what do you want me to tell Your people?" Without a moment's hesitation, these words came ringing through my spirit and my mind; "Tell them how much I Love them." They were so filled with Love and Compassion that it defies words to express it. For days afterward all I could think of was I John 4:16. "And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us." We've read about God's Love. We've heard about it. But I don't think many of us have really believed it. If we did it would totally change everything about us and everything around us. It's that love that caused Jesus to lay down His life for us and to experience for Himself the pains and weaknesses we experience. It's that love that says to us, even whe we feel so unworthy, "Come to Me and get what you need. Don't be shy about it. I've been there. Come boldly to the throne of Grace that you may obtain Mercy and find Grace to help in time of need." Think about it. God is in love with you--so in love, he's given you everything He has! He's given you all the healing, all the wisdom, all the wealth, all the strength you could ever need. "But what about my terrible past." That's what His Mercy is for! It's taken care of your past. It's covered every sin and failure you ever had. All you have to do now is believe and receive His love. What a shame it is that people suffer at the hands of sickness and disease and every other cursed thing just because they can't believe the love that God has for them. ...........................................................................................................

Don't let that happen to you. Learn to Believe the Love. Believe the Love God has for you. It's already been released in the blood of jesus. Believe the Love. It's already been released in Jesus' Name. Believe the Love. It's already been released in His Word. Meditate that scripture over and over. Say it to yourself again and again all day. Once it gets down into your heart, you'll never be the same again. In the Name of Jesus. Amen.

"But (Christ Jesus) made Himself of no repuatation, and took upon Him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of man." (Phil 2:7). Live Like Jesus. The truth of this verse hasn't really dawned on most people. They mistakenly think that Jesus was able to work wonders, to perform miracles, and to live abouve sin because He had Divine Poweres that we don't have. Thus, they have never really aspired to live like He lived. "Oh my," they say with great humility, "I could never like like Jesus did. After all He had an advantage. He was God!" They don't realize that when Jesus came to earth, He voluntarily gave up that advantage, living His life here not as God but as a man. He had no innate supernatural powers. He had no ability to perform miracles until after He was annointed by the Holy Spirit as recorded in Luke 3:22. He worked wonders, not by His own Power but by the Power of the Father, saying, "The Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works." (John 14:10). And when He prayed, He prayed not as a Divine One who had Authority as God, but as a man who walked obediently with God. And as Hebrews 5:7 says, "His prayers were heard--not because of His deity, but because of his reverence toward God."(The Amplified Bible). Jesus, the Divine Son of God, set aside the privileges and powers of deity for a time and lived as a man on earth. Once you grasp that, it will absolutely thrill your soul! Why? Because it means that you, as a reborn child of God, filled with the same Holy Spirit as Jesus was, have the same opportunity to live as He lived on earth. In fact, that is exactly what He intends. In John 17:18 He said to the Father, "Just as You sent Me into the world." Jesus has sent "you" into the world to live as He lived. Through the new birth, He's enabled you to exchange the sinful nature of Adam for the sinless nature of God. He's given you the ability and the command to live above sin, to live in fellowship with the Father, to preach the gospel, to heal the sick, to raise the dead, to cast out demonns, and to make disciples. Once you realize that you'll throw off the shackles of doubt that have held you back. You'll begin to live as Jesus meant for you to live--not as a sin-ridden son of fallen man, but as a reborn child of the Most High God. Then those around you will actually begin to see Jesus--in you. In the Name of Jesus. Amen

"Is any one among you afflicted--ill-treated, suffering evil? He should pray." (James 5:13, The Amplified Bible). Do Your Own Praying. The Greek word translated "afflicted" doesn't mean the result of sickness and disease. It means "troubled." If you're in trouble, you need to pray. That's what the Word says. Notice it didn't say your pastor needs to pray for you. It says "you" need to pray. Too often we try to find a quick fix to our problems by asking everyone else to pray for us. There's nothing wrong, of course, with having others pray for you, but you'll never get your life to a place of permanent victory until you begin to pray yourself. The biggest church in the world is in Seoul, Korea. It's pastored by David Cho, and the last I heard, it had more than 700,000 members. How did that church grow to be so large. According to Dr. Cho, the key is prayer. Not just his prayers but the prayers of his people. Praying is a way of life in that church. They have a place called Prayer Mountain where thousands of people come every day to pray. I once heard Dr. Cho's mother-in-law on television talking about the emphasis they put on prayer. She said that when their church members are in trouble, when they have marriage problems or problems in their personal lives, before anythind else is done, those church members are told to go and fast and pray for 24 hours. We need to do more of that here in our churches in the United States. We need to quit training our people to run around asking others to pray for them and train them instead to Do Their Own Praying. You see, if I pray for God to solve one problem for you, you may enjoy success for a while, but then another problem will come along because you'll still be making the same old mistakes that got you in trouble the first time....................................................................................................

But if you buckle down and do that praying for yourself, if you discipline yourself to start searching out the things of the Spirit, you'll get permanent answers. You'll learn how to make adjustments in your life that will keep those problems from cropping up again. If you have made Jesus your Lord, you have access to the throne of Almighty God. He has every solution to every problem you'll ever have, and he's just waiting for you to come to Him, so He can give you the answer. It may take some private time alone with Him for you to hear it, but He will never disappoint you. Don't depend on others to do your praying for you. Go personally to the throne of God today. In the Glorious Name of Jesus. Amen.

"To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory." (Colossians 1:27). Christ in You! Some years back, a good friend of mine was praying and walking the floor of his little house in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He was walking up and down confessing I John 4:4, "Greater is He that is in Me, than he that is in the world." Greater is He....Greater is He....Suddenly revelation knowledge welled up in him and he knew, "Oh! God is in me! He was hit like somebody walked up and slapped him with a wet rag. It just shook him awake. He started to stomp grandly around that old house. All of a sudden, he wasn't a poor preacher living in a shack anymore! He was the dwelling place of the Most High God! That changed his thinking about so many things. He looked at his hands and it hit him. "His fingers are my fingers. He looked at his legs. "His legs are in my legs. His feet are in my feet. If I walk into danger, He walks into danger. Now, when my friend hears people say, "My prayers aren't getting any higher than the ceiling? The don't need to get any higher than your nose! He's inside you! The Author of your prayers, the Author of your faith, Jesus of Nazareth has taken residency inside you. Hallelujah!" Some people think you don't get filled with Spirit until you receive the Baptism in the Holy Ghost. But that's no so. The Holy Spirit came into you when you made Jesus Lord of your life. He came into you when you were born again. Getting baptized in the Holy Spirit is another thing. It's when the power of the Holy Ghost comes upon you to empower you for service (Acts 1:8). That means even if you've just been born again two seconds, Jesus is in you! He's living there, and He will be from now on. Can you fathom that? If you'll spend some time thinking about it and meditating on it, you can receive revelation of it just like he did...............................................................................................................
