Like King Jehoshaphat worship is a cure for me! Judah was outnumbered! Judah means “Praise!” The people of the Book were outnumbered! I want to be in that number when the Saints go marching in! Their voices were louder than ours! The King declared a fast and then they worshipped! The Lord encouraged them and told them no one can withstand you! Don’t look to others! Take your eyes off yourself and look to God! The armies surrounded Judah! Ammon, Moab and those of Mount Seir betrayed Israel! Israel had spared them and now they turn on Israel? We cried in our affliction! The battle is not yours but the Lord’s! None will have to fight in this battle! Believe in the Lord your God and you will prosper! Go out and face them! Is anxiety the projection of your future? Do you have a vision of despair? The people are against me! Do you see the Lord in your projection? God always meets me in a vision! God is Faithful to meet you in His presence! Worship does this! The King appointed singers ahead of the army! The Lord sent ambushments against the enemy! They all died from friendly fire! Hell is full of friendly fire victims! The snare they laid for others entrapped them! Worship seems foolish to the world! Why? The victory is not dependent on them! Declare the greatness of God! Midnight Praise is singing about the morning! It is the pep rally before the victory! Musicians are often insecure! When you praise the enemy knows you are coming! You are a target! We sing the love of God! We sing of His strength! Our shame is pushed back! God destroys the enemy in the midst of Praise! In Praise Satan moves out and God moves in! The great exchange! Worship confuses the enemy! Worship makes Satan insecure! Worship turns the enemies advantage into our advantage! Judah plundered the dead bodies for three days! The riches of the wicked is laid up for the righteous! As a worship leader and song writer I sometimes suffer from extreme anxiety! Some days I was ready to quit this job! Would be easier just to get a secular job? Just obey God and leave the results to Him! Leave your fears on the Cross! It is not that I am a more talented person than others! It is when I am in the deepest valley the songs of Praise come to me in the darkest night! Pastor Brady and our congregation have overcome many fears! In the midst of our greatest fears has come our greatest Praise! I am free to run! I am free to run for You! We have overcome by the blood of the Lamb! Declare your victory in Praise! He is jealous for you! Also remember to worship after the victory! Judah went down to the Valley of Berachah to worship after victory! Worship means to bow down! You cannot get any lower than a valley! Worship brings peace and rest after the win! Part of the victory celebration! We do not want fame so keep things in perspective! His love endures forever and His love endures us! When the night comes Praise comes and then the morning light! The tomb is empty and He has risen! Jon Egan, Worship Leader, New Life Church, Colorado Springs, Colorado.
The Mafia Goes Presidential!
Who are the gang members? Rubio, Trump, Cruz and Bush! Who will get KO’d in the next round? The only reason Ben Carson is there is because they may need a Doctor in the house! Concussion protocol! Hillary will need a hit man for poor old Bernie! She need not look further than the Republican candidates! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Election Thoughts 2016
Does it matter who is in office? President Roosevelt was a Democrat when Japan attacked Pearl harbor. President Clinton was in office when the Twin Towers were attacked the first time. President Bush was in office when the Twin Towers got hit the second time on 9-11. Different ideologies were behind these attacks with destructive consequences. During the 1930’s America sold millions of tons of steel to Japan in the name of free trade and economic prosperity! Japan used the steel to build their military. All three of these American President’s failed to recognize the threats to America! President Lincoln a Republican recognized the threat of slavery to America! A civil war followed but he did not try to appease slavery! So the question to you as a voter do you recognize the threats to America and our existence? Then do the candidates for President recognize these threats and do they have a plan of action to defeat these threats? I see the two biggest threats to America are socialism and Islam! Both these ideologies are also threats to the world! Do you remember the former Socialist Republic of the Soviet Union? This laboratory experiment with socialism lasted 70 years then collapsed! History has shown us that as a people of a nation look to bigger and bigger government to solve their problems the whole economic system that it drains collapses! Greece would be our latest example! If you rob from the rich then eventually everyone becomes poor! Remember 2000 years ago Jesus said the poor will always be with you! The same is true today! The socialist ideology of today will eventually usher in the Anti-Christ! How and why? As socialist experiments fail individually in nation’s and with the final collapse of America then socialist will conclude that the only way it will work is if the whole world is under one government and one world leader! This is the path socialism is taking us down! Islam is the other big threat to America and the world! Our Constitutional freedom is threatened by Islam! Islam is a religion based on world conquest supported by the Quran! World conquest in the name of religion! Our current President Obama has promoted Islam! It is now being taught in our public schools and universities as legitimate! It is being protected by political correctness! This is simply hiding the truth! American withdrawal from the stage and our weakened military has let the bad actor’s on center stage! Russia, Iran, North Korea and China have increased their military power and influence around the world! Also remember Hillary Clinton has taken ten’s of millions of dollars in bribes from Islamic countries while she was Secretary of State? A few years ago this would have been a treasonable act? If she becomes President she will owe the Muslim’s a lot of favor’s! Do you remember from the Bible that the Anti-Christ will rule the world with His False prophet? This man will be the religious ruler of the world! Did you ever wonder what religion this would be? The Christians will be raptured at this time so who is left? How about Islam? One of two things are going to happen this election cycle? We are either going to strengthen Islam and socialism here and around the world or we are going to defeat it? We are either going to strengthen the bad actor’s on center stage or we are going to defeat them? The choice is yours! Choose this day who you will serve? Thankyou. James and Hamsa Sasse.

Homosexual Behavior?
Does Scripture forbid homosexual behavior? Of course it does! Jesus and His apostles taught that God’s intention in marriage is for a man to leave his parents and join himself to one woman. American Theologian Michael Horton (1964- )
Politics!
To live by one man’s will becomes the cause of all misery! British Theologian Richard Hooker (1554-1600)
How To Be Happy?
An elderly lady was very rich but very lonely! She lived so long all her family had passed on! So she went down to the local pet shop and asked the owner what would be a good pet to give her company? The pet shop owner told her she needed to get a parrot. So she bought a parrot and brought him home. She was very disappointed because the parrot did not talk? She went back to the pet store and complained to the owner! The owner told her every parrot needs a mirror in his cage. So she bought a mirror. Another two weeks went by and still no talking? She went back to the pet store again! The owner told her every parrot needs a swing in his cage! The widow bought a swing and installed in the parrot cage! Two weeks later the widow went back to the pet shop and told the owner her parrot died! The pet store owner was shocked and grieved for the parrot! He asked the lady if the parrot said anything at all before he died? The widow told him yes he did speak! Just before the parrot died he asked me if they had any food down at that pet store? Pastor Greg Laurie
Ted Cruz Cheats in Iowa!
The Ben Carson campaign has confirmed the Ted Cruz campaign spread rumors across Iowa just before voting on Monday night that Ben Carson has dropped out of the race so why not vote for Ted! They have recovered tweets and other data confirming the accusations! This dirty work represents the insider Washington tricks and deception that we are trying to get away from! I am asking American’s to reward Ben Carson as he is the honest Abe Lincoln of our generation! Support him and you will be rewarded by a true servant who is honest before God and the people! Thankyou. James and Hamsa Sasse.
Communion Service
The act of communion is done everyday around the world in every culture, tribe and tongue! Everyone on the earth identifies with Christ by this sacred act! I have had the privilege of taking communion in a variety of places around the world! I have seen people take communion and have had their prayers answered! Please don’t take this moment lightly! This reminds you for who He is! Engage Him for who He is! Jesus unleashes the Supernatural within your space! Again do not take this moment lightly! As we take the bread we remember His body was broken for us! He destroyed every power of darkness over us! Because of Him we live free fully committed to Him! That He is a Holy God! He has all authority over every principality and power of darkness! We don’t take this bread just because we remember a day on the Cross! We take this bread because it is designed from the foundation of the earth that the redemption of mankind would come and He was broken for us! So take this in the weight of it as it sets you free! Take this bread together! In the same way when He took the cup He said this is my blood shed for you! It is finished! Done! I don’t know what your challenges or what your struggles are this morning but it is finished! It is done! He did it all! So invoke the presence of Christ in your situation and in your life. Trust Him and I am going to believe with you! As we drink this cup there is no magic in this cup! We are reminded and assured there is a good and protective God watching over us! As we drink this cup we are going to believe for a break through! Whatever that looks like as we take the cup and thank Jesus! Lord as we partake of you! In real time God! Right here right now! As the body of Christ and your body! God I pray you will open up the Heavens over us! Over our families! Once again I pray with gratitude because you answered our prayer! I pray for those families desiring children! I pray for members of New Life Church that those desiring children will receive them! God bring life into our bodies! God for every prayer and every desire we lift up to You! Let our cries and our desires be incense unto you God! I pray you meet us in a miraculous way! We love you! Lord Jesus it is because of your love we are Holy! We are Holy only because you are Holy! You are kind and merciful! You are just! Thankyou for calling us Beloved! In whom you are well pleased! For your Kingdom come! Your will be done! In our hearts and in our lives as it is in Heaven! In Jesus Name we pray! Amen! Pastor Riaan Heynes, New Life Church, Colorado Springs, Colorado.
Remember This When You Vote!
In this politically charged season, we do well to remember that we are not voting for a savior but a servant—one who needs to demonstrate that if he or she has served God faithfully, it is a clear indication that he or she will serve the nation similarly. If you are looking for someone with a Messianic complex, then he or she will simply pave the way for the Biblical Anti-Christ, Satan’s sinister representative, who will lead many away from the truth! Michael Youssef, Leading The Way Ministries, Atlanta, Georgia.
Rag Doll Election Cycle?
Remember the 1960’s era song by the Four Season’s? Remember the lyrics? She wore hand-me-downs. They laughed when she came into town. Called her “Rag Doll.” Such a pretty face she should have been dressed in lace. If I could change her sad rags into glad rags I would. My folk’s won’t let me because they say she is no good. I love you just the way you are. Though I love her so I can’t let her know. She is a ‘Rag Doll.” Comment: Every election cycle the politicians drag their rag doll out of the closet! Jesus name gets thrown around like a rag doll. Donald Trump went to church last week! Congregation members said it has been years since they have seen him? Remember when Obama said he was a Christian? After November Jesus will be thrown back under the bed for another four years! The Democratic contender’s are really mute on Jesus this election cycle mostly because they are pagan’s! In America we have to learn to endure the election process! Thankyou. James and Hamsa Sasse.
