James 1:22–25 But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must DO what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves.
This is something I wrote one random day to our heavenly Father and Savior Jesus:
I want to thank you Lord in all the ways I can think, from my hands to my feet to the mouth that I speak.
I wonder how much you love me but then I just remember and you speak softly.
For child before you were born I saw your ways and I knew of the day you would be saved.
For I waited so patiently upon that hour that moment for you would never be the same.
Your mind and our heart beat as one.
The breathe you breath is the air I put in your body to live for me.
To do my good deeds and spread my living word across the seas.
I often place you in positions that seem so unreal to believe, because I want you to feel the power and grace that belong to thee.
Trust me in all your days and for I will never leave.
For faith and belief is all you need.
I am Lord, The King of all Kings, Have I not shown you my ways.
From water to wine & the blind that now see.
My child you are mine that I declare for eternity.

The fear of man is a TRAP. Fear of the Lord keeps you from the trap becuase you will serve whoever you fear. The fear of the Lord is truly being terrified from being away from him. When we start to fear man then we start to fall away from what God has boldy spoken in the Bible.
The fear of man is a Snare;anything serving to entrap, entangle, or catch unawares; trap. Proverbs 29:25 The person who Fears God has nothing to hide. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of Wisdom. This wisdom is a gift from God, only God can give this type of Wisdom. Fear of the Lord is NOT to be afraid of him but to be afraid to be away from him. That is the Wisdom that God gives.
The fear of the Lord endures forever.
The bond of perfection is ‘love’.
It will make you free. To walk in and live your life surrounded with Love, that is how we can change the world one person at a time. When we fully understand what and who Jesus was we understand that the one thing he did everyday on his walk with the Father is he loved everyone he came in contact with.
I want to live in harmony with one another. Lord, I don’t want to be proud, but I want us all to be willing to associate with people of low position. I do not want to be conceited. Romans 12:16
Of the 27 books in the new testament, 4 of the books are called ‘Gospels’.
Gospel in (Greek):“Evangelion” which means ‘Good News’
Originally “Evangelion” was a secular word. Whenever the emperor had news, he sent messengers across his empire to town squares where they shouted, ‘Evangelion!, and everyone came running to find out more.
To be an Evangelist now refers to a Christian who tries to persuade other people to become Christian, especially at public gatherings or in broadcasts. To be an Evangelist means to bring the Good news. And back in the day to bring Good news meant it’s true.
As the message spread about Jesus and the good works he had done and was preaching about, practical guidance was needed on living out faith, which led to church leaders writing letters ( epistles) before the Gospels.
Then eventually they saw that Jesus’ story needed writing down so it wouldn’t be lost to future generations, leading to the writing of the Gospels- Spreading the good news.

This is my testimony. God can take the most broken heart, home, family and situations and fill it with his overwhelming love and you will never be the same.
Luke 11:9”And so I tell you, keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you.
Love,

Bill Johnson- I am looking for one person
This sermon changed something in side of me…All God is looking for is “one” are you that “one”?
A picture of someone special to me. We had our Church Christmas Gala this year at the Royal Park Hotel in Rochester, MI. The special guest was Kari Jobe.
1 John 4:7-8 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.
Happy Thanksgiving Eve y’all!
I decided to go public for the things I am Thankful for this year. This Thanksgiving isn’t like any Thanksgiving I have encountered. I have been saved for the last 7 months and have fully committed my life to my Lord & Savior Christ Jesus. I have spoken with some friends that I have way more appreciation to the things not of the world but of the spiritual world now. I am grateful for Gods grace and patience. I am grateful for him answering my prayers and moving in supernatural ways in my life. I thank him prophetically for the things he is doing and going to do through the people in my life and all around me. I feel such a burden on my heart for Gods children. That we all can come to know him and experience the love he has freely given to us when we chose to accept him as our savior.
Truly, this Thanksgiving I am thankful for Jesus and what he did for ALL of us on the cross. I am thankful for being able to talk about his great love and be a light in a dark world. I thank him for bringing amazing people in my life who are such encourager’s to me which has aloud me to encourage others. I pray that we continue seeking Gods face. I ask all of heavens armies continue to watch over us. I hope and pray that we all remember when we are with our families tomorrow at Thanksgiving dinner to give thanks to the one who makes all things possible.
Give thanks to the Creator not things created.
I pray in Jesus name that anyone who reads this has a blessed and loving day tomorrow wherever they shall be. That your protective covering is surrounding them and you continue to embrace them with your promises this Holiday season. Amen!
1 Thessalonians 5:18 (NAS) in everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
Sincerely,
EL
Intimidation.
God needs you to tap into the “David” that lies in all of us. David was used to defeat Goliath. If God knew he was going to be intimidated he wouldn’t have called him forth. God knew if one more person tried to defeat this monster with out God’s help and failed one more time, a nation would have gone into bondage. God calls the unqualified & qualifies them himself. Do not live life on your own, we weren’t created that way. When we place ourselves under the Lords protection he will help us fight modern day Goliaths such as intimidation.
The reason Satan is compared to as a roaring lion is because he can’t sink his teeth in anyone.. he is ALL talk. Just saying.
Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 1 Peter 5:8
Take 10 mins to watch this life changing message on resting… Not the kind of resting you are thinking of… :)
WithOUT rest in our SOULS we can not hear what God is laying out for you every step you take.
Do not set your mind on the flesh, take rest in your souls. This way the Lord can take you to where you need to be to get to your destiny! Without a resting soul, we can NOT listen to the Lord and what his plans are for you.
“A heart of rest is more likely to believe” - Bill Johnson
God, Father of Jacob. You have carried me before I was even born. You will be my God throughout my lifetime. You made me, you care for me. You will carry me along and save me. No one compares to you! No one is your EQUAL. People will worship false idols but I know God those idols will not save those people. False Idols can not MOVE your people. IThere is none like you oh Lord. You are the only one who can tell the future before it even happens. Everything will come to pass as you have promised. For I see that you are ready to set things right, not in a distant future but RIGHT now. You are ready to save your people, and show your glory to the World. (Isaiah 46)
