In recent days I have had some enforced time of reflection , prayer, and recreation. During this time there is one definate characteristic that sets champions apart ,that trait is :"an irrepressible , determined purposeful mind, & heart. When it comes to Champions for JESUS , this trait is also a greatly needed at this time in history , if ever the people of God needed passionate commitment and conviction of faith in JESUS , it is NOW! If you think of some heroes of the past , take for example Paul a man who was persecuted and ultimately was martyred for his conviction and commitment . Paul even when imprisoned gave to the world thirteen of the twenty seven books of the New Testament,this champion had such influence and impact upon a pagan , Godless time in history that we still have the rippling effect to this day, touching our lives with his unwavering obedience , purposeful commitment, conviction & amazing determined discipleship . And his reason : "PROMOTING THE CAUSE OF CHRIST".Today I leave with you :(Romans 15:19-21 The Message) ''I HAVE TRAILBLAZED A PREACHING OF THE MESSAGE OF JESUS ALL THE WAY FROM JERUSALEM FAR INTO NORTHWESTERN GREECE.THIS HAS ALL BEEN PIONEER WORK , BRINGING THE MESSAGE ONLY INTO THOSE PLACES WHERE JESUS WAS NOT YET KNOWN AND WORSHIPPED. MY TEXT HAS BEEN , 'THOSE WHO'VE NEVER HEARD OF JESUS........THEY WILL GET THE MESSAGE."
What a champion ! How about your zeal today is it worth following ? Just know that JESUS, THE HOLY SPIRIT & THE GREAT FATHER -HEART OF GOD are in the stands of your life cheering you on with the great , mighty crowds of witnesses.
Praying for you today ........thank-you to all who pray for me !

Marney I read these comments recently and wonder if you think that this can actually be true - "Because you have been created in the image of God you have the power to create your reality through the words you speak out of your mouth. Just as God spoke and saw what he spoke in existence, you and i can speak and see what we speak in our everyday reality".
What do you think Marney?
Dear Anon,
I am interested in your comments , however , I don't see that God would necessarily bless or honour a reality spoken that is contrary to His Kingdom order . It is true that as PROVERBS 18:21says "THE TONGUE HAS THE POWER OF LIFE & DEATH ..." But simply because we desire a certain "reality" , does not mean that God necessarily will honour that ....unless it is based on & according to HIS biblical REALITY .....!One could write a thesis on a topic such as this ... but in short if you are dwelling in the preesence of God , open to His Word , living with a pure heart His perfect will in your life then you will be praying , thinking , speakinh His words of life & truth .....any suggestion that we in our own flesh can create our own reality is actually (in my opinion ) a concept that needs careful, prayerful , humble ,Holy Spirit led , Biblical confirmation.Some further Scriptures to read : Psalm 39:1, James 1 ;26 , James chapter 3 .... and so many more references to consider. Blessings
MARNEY
