News Flash! “We are in the midst of a recession…” Like many of you, I too was blown away by the conclusion our astute minds within academia and the economic sector reached (albeit a year late). I never cease to be amazed by our ability to “discover” the obvious.
These are difficult and uncertain times. When we consider the instability of our economy, we are forced to assess our spending habits and make informed financial and life decisions. Many of you have exercised good stewardship and still find yourselves in dire straights. Christians are not exempt from the impact of lay-offs and/or underemployment (employed but significant reduction in income), the credit and mortgage crisis, job market, etc. Although we may not have scene it coming, there is nothing about this economic downturn that caught our omniscient God by surprise.
There is reason for hope; God is not limited by what goes on in the market place. In fact, for those who love the Lord and are called according to his purposes, I believe God will use this economic downturn for our good and His glory. I encourage you to begin asking God for his good, acceptable, and perfect will for your life. Perhaps He desires to do a “new” thing in your family, career, or walk with Him. What better time than now is there to dream again and seek what God wants to do in, for, and through us! Circumstances should never determine our outlook on life; only God’s love and the purposes for which we were born.

How true it is about the "recession." But because we are still tithing (no matter the amount) and giving, not just in money but of ourselves we will really be able to sit back and see God work the miracles in our life. As is says in Malachi 3:10-11. God will rebuke the devourer. Read for yourself, meditate on it. God will bring jobs, money to you in abundance if you are faithful not only in money but heart towards him.
My concern is whether we can with stand the pressures! The only way is yes with God's help. I know this sounds goofy, but I am more concerned about what our country, states, government officals etc are allowing the people to get away with. antichrist signs; abortion; extortion; the list can go on. to me this is worse than wondering if we will have a job. THAT HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF BY GOD.
As christians we need to pray against the garbage, make a stand by prayer that God will turn all this around to the good of the people.
Pastor.
I too have read your book and unless I am not to smart what are you trying to say? what is the kingdom Edge?
I pray that your Bible studies are defined more clearly than the book.
Because I read the Bible I can pick out some of what you are saying, but if I was just someone buying the book my comment would have to be, "what is he trying to say."
Adam and Eve walked with God everyday, how awesome is that! Satan was came in and convinced Eve to eat the apple, her mind most likely was not on the tree until satan comes quietly into her/our minds. We have to have the word of God so embedded in our hearts that we stomp and take all thoughts captive. By the way it was Adam that was suppose to be the head and therefore taking care of bussiness, his wife.
I was concerned about the statement you made that Adam and Eve brought God down to their level! That is not true Adam and Eve came down to Satan's level.
You are very fond of quoting about David and son Solmon. Talk about a man that God Loved - Solmon - after all the money and "things" he was given, IT WAS HIS EYES ON THE THINGS HE SHOULD'NT HAVE OR DO. THIS WAS A DIRECT ORDER AS WELL FROM GOD. Anyone can read and see how he ended up. We all have to keep our eyes on God's word and obey it!
If I have to get a dictionary out to figure out some of the words you use it is too completed.
I can go back and read it again and still not find out just what is "The Kingdom Edge."
I pray that you answer this questions. Maybe I am missing soemthing.
Pastor as of yet I have not had any responses to the messages.
1. what is the Kingdom Edge
2. what are you trying to tell the people
