Think about how they, like Jesus, were willing to lay down their lives for our freedoms! Some paid the ultimate price, so came home different.

Good Morning Different Followers of Jesus! We were one way and then another and the thing in between was Jesus! PTL! He has redeemed us, restored us and led us to His best and our fuller potential in Christ. And He continues to mold and shape us as a Potter with clay. As we shed the old nature and step more fully into our new in Christ nature we also become very different from the world around us. Well, that's God's plan anyway for us with dual citizenship in heaven and earth. As we follow Jesus more earnestly, we become more like Him and activated to bring heaven to earth and His kingdom of light and love alive in this dark, hate-filled, dry land. We are to be His Living Water, incarnating Jesus, our Living Water to a dry and weary land. We are springs of life, springing up all over the place. We are like trees with roots sunk deep in Christ and God's Living Word. We are different and continue in our journey to become more like Christ and to bring His mission and Kingdom alive on earth. PTL! Turn off the noise and chaos of this world. receive His peace, love, wisdom and joy and go bring it alive wherever you step. You know you are walking on holy ground with the Holy One and He is leading you to be His world changer. Let us unite and go love like Jesus, spur each other on, build His Kingdom and be different and make a difference. Amen!
We are chosen and activated sent servants of Christ. He has great plans for you today and this week. Turn off the noise, worship, reload and go prepared and different. Amen!
Last night Karen, Kay and I attended Revival Church's worship and ministry night. All I can say is WOW! God showed up and is moving in our midst and building! We experienced healings ( my ankle was healed! PTL!), deliverances, breakings of bondages, worship deep in His presence and a refilling to carry into the week ahead. PTL! I know that I need recharging often and that sure happened last night. I am different today because of my encounter with the Living God who is able and wants to make us different! PTL! Our church was prophesied over by several pastors. God is surely on the move and we are seeing these prophesies budding, growing and bringing new life and good fruit alive. PTL! There will surely be an overflow into this week and weeks ahead. PTL! We are moving to a new level as we grow into that dynamic movement of God. We are being used to bring life, hope, help and love alive. PTL! And these will increase as we continue to abide in Christ, yoke to Jesus and allow Him to mold and lead us. Amen! We are also moving closer to becoming a House of Prayer for the Nations as God is sending new people to our fellowship, worship service and even uniting both churches for His good plans. PTL!
Keep praying and asking how God wants to use you and who your partners are and plan to follow Jesus into His new things. He really does have great custom made plans for you and us! PTL! Let us commit to seek, surrender and follow well. We are activated and empowered to go love like Jesus and change the world. What's your part? Let's process and work on that. PTL that we are chosen, loved and different and sent to make a difference! We are sent to be Christ! Amen!
Just worship on your own this morning. Still yourself, listen and receive. God is speaking and leading you to a new thing. PTL! Get used to different, follower of Jesus! He is on the move! Amen! Thank Him for His presence and good plans and for including you! I am!

November 11 - There Is an Order

“But many who are first will be last, and the last first.” (Mark 10:31)
Even the disciples vied for position in heaven, but Jesus said the Kingdom of God operates differently than the world. The first would be last. The last would be first.
The Kingdom of God operates in orderly and strategic ways. Jesus indicates that many will be surprised at their position in eternity. Will you be first or last?
Lord, I repent for any time I’ve judged in error people in general, leaders specifically. I repent for any lofty thoughts concerning myself or others. I repent for any degrading thoughts concerning others. I repent for when I’ve been concerned about position, status, or influence in Your kingdom.
Regardless of what I’ve done in the past, I declare I will let You judge concerning people. I will walk in wisdom when judging sin. I will refrain from casting judgment and categorizing others. I won’t concern myself about proximity to power; I will focus on serving Your Kingdom.
I thank You for Your divine system that is fair and just. I thank You that You’re perfect and that You established the Kingdom of God with perfection.
I praise You, for You’re perfect, holy, magnificent, wondrous, beautiful, and worthy! I praise You because You’re the Great Rescuer and truly devoted to Your people. I praise You because You’re upright, and Your perfect character allows us to rest. I love You.

- Praise God whose kingdom is not a matter of eating and drinking but of righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit (Rom. 14:17).
- Thank God for his kindness and love in Jesus, who saved you by the shedding of his own blood (Titus 3:4-7).
- Confess those times of subtle boasting of how much you do for the Lord and his church (2 Cor. 11:21-30).
- Commit yourself to quietly helping another person through prayer, encouragement, or deed without self-recognition.
- Ask God to keep you from pride (Rom. 11:20).
- Ask that your church will spend time encouraging and equipping members, warning those who are idle, helping the weak—being the best possible stewards of time as well as money (1 Thess. 5:11-21).
