Going to Church makes you no more a Christian than standing in a Garage makes you a Car.
We hope, as you visit our site that your heart will be blessed and that your life will be transformed, as you allow God to minister to you.
There are a lot of problems people face today. There is so much pain and suffering in this world. Fear, anxiety, depression, despair, heartbreak, rejection, loneliness, guilt, sickness and more can be found wherever you look. Maybe you feel like you have had more than your fair share of these things. How do we reconcile all this with the idea of a loving, caring Heavenly Father? Can we? Is He really out there? Would He really help you if you call upon Him?
Today God is doing just that for people like you who call upon the name of Jesus
and "Get Real" with God.
We prepared this message for you so you would understand how you can know the God who loves and cares for you, the God who does miracles, the God who answers prayers.
our God is an Awesome God and deserves to be Worshiped
Maybe you've believed the lie that God is not good. Maybe you have believed he wants to deny you all the good things in life and make you miserable. Maybe you think He just wants to Zap you into submission. That's a devilish lie my friend. People become miserable when they look to the wrong things to make them happy. Believe me, I know the Road!..But God wants you to have love, joy, hope and peace in your heart, and He wants, as the God of miracles, to get involved in your Life and prove Himself to you in so many ways.
Jesus Christ really existed on earth and did the things that are recorded in the Bible. He's mentioned in Muslim, Roman and Jewish history also. People watched him do miracles and love people. He said he was the Son of God but he was crucified. If you or I went around telling people we were Jesus they would just laugh at us!
They crucified Him because they knew He was the living Son of God!
A careful study of the Bible will reveal that God is after our Hearts. Everything has been paid for - but until you start to open yourself up to the Lord, until you start to hear and believe the Message concerning his great goodness and his promises of forgiveness, freedom, and answered prayer NOTHING is going to change for you. So whether you are a believer in Jesus or not, we encourage you to pursue God with your whole heart.
That is what God is looking for.
Without faith you cannot please God. You need to believe that God will make it worthwhile for you to pursue Him, to know Him personally. Millions have already found that it is so. But in order for it to work for you, you have to apply it personally.
The Bible promises that those who call upon the name of the Lord will be saved.
Are you willing to do that? If you do it with faith in your heart, if you are truly willing to hand your life over to God and trust Him, something is going to happen. Jesus Christ will come into your Life by His Holy Spirit. And your sins, however many they may be, will be forgiven by God Himself.
You may already have begun with Christ at some time, but you realize you still have plenty of unbelief in your heart concerning God's willingness to get involved in your life. Faith will come as you meditate on the relevant promises of the Word of God. Robyn & I think that the Prayer below is suitable for anyone who "Means Business" with God, whether they are coming to the Lord for the first time or renewing a commitment to Jesus Christ.
Please turn off the radio, TV or noise of anykind and Pray this Prayer from the Heart:
God, in the name of your Son Jesus Christ,
I want yo confess that my life is not what it should be so I'm handing it over to you. I believe you took my sin's and all the evil consequences of my disobedience upon yourself when you suffered in my place and gave your life on the cross for me. I'm sorry for my sins and I'm trusting you to cleanse me of them. {Tell God your Sins} I believe you rose again, and that you are the Son of the Living God. You have the right to be Lord of my life. I turn from my sins, and I ask you to forgive me just as I now with your help choose to forgive all those who hurt me. Make me a new person, God, a real follower of Jesus. Come into my life by the Holy Spirit. I confess your Lordship in my life, and believe that you will save me and make me new. Teach me all I need to know on a daily basis so my life becomes a great testimony for you. And teach me how to receive all your love and blessings that you freely give me because of your great love for me, especially the Gift of the Holy Spirit. Thank you for all you have done for me and are doing in my life.
Amen.
If you prayed that prayer and you want to know the God of miracles personally, we invite you to contact us by email and we will be delighted to help you grow in your faith.

If you are searching for your purpose in life, if you feel as if there is a void that needs to be filled, your search is over.
If you have never given your life to Jesus, don't wait because tomorrow may be too late.
I can speak from experience - this will be the best decision you ever make.
No matter what you are going through right now, We encourage you to put everything in God's hands.
Man will fail, but
God will never fail.
My wife Robyn and I would love to share God's word with you here today. We would also cherish the opportunity to stop by your Church and help spread God's Living Word.

Often life may seem confusing and out-of-control. But don't despair. God has a plan for you which He is working out. If you could only see the end He has in mind for you -- you would begin to rejoice and
thank God right now. (Hint, Hint.)
Hang On To Your Faith:
The devil's whole strategy is to get you to turn loose of your faith in God and His Word.
MARK 4:15 NIV
15 Some people are like seed along the path, where the word is sown. As soon as they hear it, Satan comes and takes away the word that was sown in them.
How can the devil steal the Word from you ?
Only when it seems untrue.
People don't turn loose of what they believe is true.
So, to steal the Word, the devil must convince you it's not true. The devil does this by getting us to focus on what our mind tell us, instead of on God's Word......
the seed which changes our circumstances when we read it.
As with any seed, the full glory of its life is not apparent immediately, but it manifests over time with the proper care.
God's Word "Will" change your circumstances!
If you don't believe God's Word, you won't act on it. Without following God's instructions, you will not be made free (see John 8:31-32).
Actions cannot be separated from believing. Whatever you are acting on is what you really believe.
So, hanging on to your faith
means to keep believing what God said -- regardless of circumstances.
HEBREWS 10:23 KJV
23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
A key to hanging on to your faith is found in what you say. When you speak of fear and doubt,.....faith shrivels.
But when you speak faith,....words in line with the Bible, your faith grows strong.
The devil tries to get you to doubt God and His Word. The devil wants you to give up on God, to not trust Him, to not expect Him to do what He said in His Word. Do not give up! God can be trusted.He loves you & we love you!
WEAK IN YOUR FAITH?
Don't be discouraged if your faith is weak. everyone starts out with weak faith.
Your faith must be fed in order to grow strong. Faith requires evidence to rest upon. ROMANS 10:l7 New Life Correct teaching on a subject produces faith in your heart. But it is not enough just to hear teaching on a subject. You must also exercise your faith for it to grow strong. That is: to Act on what you learn from Scripture. Your faith can be strong in one area while being weak in another. For example, most Christians have strong faith concerning the new birth, but weak faith concerning healing, because they have never heard much teaching on the subject of healing. It is true, as Jesus said in Matthew 4:4, that we need every word that God has spoken -- not just some of them. So, if you want your faith to grow in any area, listen to anointed teaching on that subject, then continue to read, speak, meditate, and act on those scriptures. HEBREWS 11:6 NKJ Our experience does not always agree with what the Bible says. For example, the Bible says that God will supply all your needs in Philippians 4:19, The Bible says that God always leads us in triumph, but it may seem like you are losing. When our experience does not agree with the Bible, it is an opportunity to keep our faith in what God said, or to give up on that faith. Circumstances are subject to change. Believing what the Bible says when the circumstances disagree can be very difficult. It's a great temptation to give in and forget what God said. But what greater purpose could your life have than to please God? Many people strain and sacrifice to please other humans. How much greater of a goal it is to please God!? Resist unbelief! Keep your faith in God! Now is a good time to stop and pray about those things in your life that could be moved by faith. Lord, I see how powerful faith can be. Listen to these words from the Bible "And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven. Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective." You build your faith by reading and speaking God's word. The Bible tells you that as you renew your mind, you will be transformed.
You renew your mind with the word of God If you're feeling defeated, it could be because you've been listening to the lies of the enemy. Let God's word tell you who you are and what you have. Don't give any attention to anything that tells you differently.
When God called Gideon a mighty warrior there was no evidence to suggest that it was true. God saw and spoke what Gideon would become. Learn what God says about you and accept God's opinion of you. Believe what God says about who you are in Christ and you will become what you are in Him. You will build your faith as you constantly remind yourself of who you are in Christ.
Apart from Jesus, I can do nothing; but in Jesus I can do all things. I choose to trust God. His Word will be the final authority in my life. I'm not just an ordinary person; I'm a child of the living God. Jesus has declared me not guilty. Satan is the father of lies. I won't listen to his accusations. I am cleansed by Jesus' blood. No weapon formed against me will succeed. I will disprove every tongue that rises against me in judgment. My mind is being renewed by the word of God. I will pull down strongholds and cast down imaginations. I will bring every thought captive to the will of Christ. I am accepted by God. If God is for me, who can be against me? I will continue in God's word. I know the truth and the truth has set me free. I am free indeed because Jesus has set me free. I will submit to God. Jesus always causes me to triumph. I'll reign as a king in life through Christ Jesus. The Word of God lives in me. I am a success to the glory of God. All His blessings will come upon me and overtake me because I obey the voice of the Lord, my God. I am confident that those who seek the Lord will lack no good thing. I will not live by bread alone but by every word that comes from the mouth of God. Speak God's word daily. You know you need to pray! You need God's help, His wisdom and His guidance and you must persevere in prayer. The activities, stresses of life and satan try to keep you from praying. So persevere! LUKE 21:36 When you Pray to God you gain strength that comes in no other way. You find the wisdom and courage to face life's garbage and to overcome. 1 THESSALONIANS 5:17-18 Learn to always include God in your thoughts. Ask Him about everything. Build your relationship by constantly Don't just talk to God when you're on your knees or at church. Pray as you do your daily activities, include God by constantly praying to him & with him. Prayer Talk to God about everything! Not just wants & needs but everything! Thanks & Praise!
Are you Happy? Most people are waiting for something --something "special" that will make their life great, so they can be happy. Ask yourself: have others had this, and are they all happy? No, they're not, and it won't give you lasting happiness, either. Happiness is not determined by external circumstances, but by internal circumstances. Everyone chooses how happy they are by what they choose to think about. Your attitude is determined by your perspective, which is determined by what you think about -- your focus. You choose your focus, so ultimately, you are the one who chooses whether to be happy, or not. Perspective is what the Beatitudes (Matthew 5) are about. Seeing a bigger picture than just this one small moment of time. (The Beatitudes are where Jesus explained how some are blessed, or happy -- even in difficult situations.) (The word we translate as "happy" in the New Testament is usually translated as "blessed.") You won't get happiness by chasing what the world has to offer. It has already been tried and it has already failed. And, you will never be happy as long as you are self-centered.(selfish) Right after Jesus performed the task of washing his disciple's feet -- kinda like cleaning a toilets today -- He told them: JOHN 13:15,17 ICB You will be happy if you help others. If you take your focus off yourself. That's what Jesus taught. LUKE 14:23
{Like a seed}
The Bible provides the evidence that your faith needs.
17. So then, faith comes to us by hearing the Good News. And the Good News comes by someone preaching it.
To keep your faith strong you must feed on scriptures pertaining to that subject, by reading, speaking, and thinking about those scriptures. Daily!
Put it to work in your life.......Apply it!
Faith Pleases God
6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He Is, and that he is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
but it may seem like all your needs are not being met.
But God will never change what He has said.
When we hold on to our faith in God's Word, circumstances will change.
You will be rewarded!
Keep your faith strong and feed it daily!
If you'd like to pray.....
Forgive me for my lack of faith. Increase my faith, Lord.
I do believe you have the power to do these things, and I believe you can work in my life just as powerfully.
I renew my faith in you right now.
In Jesus' name.
Amen.
recorded in James 5:15: Build Your Faith
"Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God"
"You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free"
God's word is true.
By faith, believe the truth and act on what you believe. Biblical Words To Build Your Faith
Say them "Out loud"
I choose to see myself as He sees me according to His living Word.
My life is hid with Christ in God. I will say the same things that God says in His Word. How can two walk together if they don't agree?
I base my entire life upon God and
His living Word.
Because I meditate upon His Word day and night and carefully do all that is written in it, I will prosper.
I'm not just a person; I'm an heir of God and a joint-heir with Jesus Christ.
I'm not just a sinner; I'm a new creation in Jesus Christ.
I'm part of a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation.
I'm one of God's chosen people.
I refuse to be discouraged.
God is the God of all encouragement.
There is no condemnation for me because I'm in Christ Jesus.
Greater is He that is within me than he that is in the world.
Nothing can separate me from the love of Christ.
As the Father loves Jesus, so Jesus loves me.
I have the righteousness of God through Christ. I am not a slave of sin, I'm a slave of God and a slave of righteousness.
I have been delivered out of the kingdom of darkness.
I'm now part of the kingdom of God.
When I resist the devil, he has to flee. No temptation will overcome me which is not common to man.
God is faithful. He will not let me be tempted beyond my strength. With any temptation He will also provide me with a way of escape, so that I can endure.
I am more than a conqueror through Christ who loves me.
I am an overcomer. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
God gives me the victory through Jesus Christ my Lord.
Believe it. Allow the living and active Word of God to build your faith, renew your mind and transform your life.
Prayer
Prayer is a habit and like every other habit, good or bad, it must be developed.
36 But keep watch at all times with prayer, that you may be strong enough to come through all these things and take your place before the Son of man.
17 Never stop praying.
18 Give thanks whatever happens. That is what God wants for you in Christ Jesus.
Praying. And one of the most important things for you to
pray to God about is your gratitude. Thank God for everything.
What are you waiting for?
A focus on self is guaranteed to prevent happiness.
15 I did this as an example for you. So you should do as I have done for you.
17 If you know these things, you will be happy if you do them.
My wife Robyn and I would love to share more of God's word with you here today. We would also cherish the opportunity to stop by your church and help spread Gods work.

God has given us a Ministry of encouragement and exhortation as well as evangelism. While we have the overwhelming joy of seeing precious souls saved, We also feel that we are needed in the areas of encouraging pastors and leadership, helping them renew their vision for ministry, helping the church in the area of restoring broken relationships, providing hope for those who are wounded and discouraged, helping people re-discover their lost joy in the Lord, and re-establishing biblical priorities in ministry. Evangelism is the "Good News" of hope and healing for broken hearts and lives. It is our desire that churches love each other, all of them, love their pastor and staff, love the work of ministry, and love the Lord Jesus Christ more than before we came to share God's Word with them. Please allow us to Evangelize for you! Email us at :

Many pastors are reluctant to invite an evangelist they don't know or haven't heard speak. Visit with us by phone or arrange to meet with us personally to help you get to know us and to decide whether I am God’s man for your church. Ask God to give you a peace about inviting us to speak. He knows you, your church, your needs, and Me, the evangelist. Our God is an awesome God, he will speak to you about me. Just ask!
Often the first representative a person may meet from a church is the evangelist. A person who serves as an evangelists plays a vital role in teaching the gospel. However, the words "evangelist", "preacher", and "minister" have been used differently by so many denominations, it has become necessary that we turn to the pages of the Bible to discover God's original purpose and design for this great work and service.
Please consider the desperate need for this great work:
"But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd."
"Then He said to His disciples, "The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest." " Matthew 9:36-38
