Psalms 68:19 (NKJV Strong’s,)
Blessed be the Lord,

Who daily loads us with benefits,

The God of our salvation!

Selah

Are you loaded?  Have you got everything you need?  God wants you blessed. If you’re not financially, physically, and spiritually overflowing the first thing to do is look at yourself. Are you spending time with God?  Check out the five musts to have a strong Christian life here. 

Praise the Name of Jesus! From what everyone is saying, the 2016 Tokyo Worship Seminar was amazing. So many people did so much to make it a success. People played in the band, did master of ceremonies(MC), recorded video of the sessions, prepared food, bought food, invited friends, encouraged their family members to come, took care of the huge turn out of kids, ran the soundboard, worshiped the Lord with everything they’ve got, shared testimonies of how God changed them since they met Jesus. It was fantastic.

We heard the anointed Word of God preached in Japanese and English. We heard the Word from seasoned ministers Pastors Mariko, Koji, and Spencer. We heard messages on how to worship, being baptized in the Holy Spirit, How to be a True Worshipper of God, and YPI>YGO (what you YOU PUT IN, is what YOU GET OUT). People were able to immerse themselves in the Word of God and get a word from the Father.

Many children went forward to receive prayer and in one session, Pastor Koji prayed for the baptism of the Holy Spirit for every kid in the place that wanted and nearly everyone in the place received the Baptism. Even many teenagers and youth received the Baptism. Hallelujah!

This first Tokyo Worship Seminar was best “Golden Week” we have ever experienced.

How did the Seminar change you? You came into the seminar, but how did you leave different?

If you attended, please share your thoughts below as we want to put together a list of what happened and give God all the glory!

John 14:12 (NKJV Strong’s,)“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.

John 15:26 (NKJV Strong’s,)“But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me.

Here, the Helper is translated several ways. The best translation I believe as “the One called along side”. 

  
The Holy Spirit came after Jesus ascended. We need Him. If we receive Jesus, the Holy Spirit is there beside us at all times. Whether we feel Him or not. 

Whatever you do today, tomorrow, and beyond, remember the Holy Spirit is there for you. 

I’ve been to many churches around the world, but just because you call it a church doesn’t mean God (by the Holy Spirit) is there.   But when I walk into a church that is full of believers that are baptized in the Holy Spirit, I feel right at home. Praise God. Walk this day with the Holy Spirit. There’s nothing like it. 

John 5:28-29 (NKJV Strong’s,
)Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice and come forth—those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.

It’s interesting that Jesus makes it very clear here. Everyone was born to live forever. You die once then if you didn’t accept the work of Jesus you will be resurrected for judgment (or condemnation, per the New King James Version) or you will be resurrected to life. Don’t take judgment.  Take life in Christ Jesus. 

John 3:31 (NKJV)

He who comes from above is above all; he who is of the earth is earthly and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all.

These are John’s comments about Jesus. Very revealing. Jesus is above all. 

Marriage is a commitment.  It’s a beautiful relationship between a man and a woman.  All of society is based on this.  If the family is strong, the country is strong.  Let me share some notes from that might be a blessing for you.

10 Marital “Nevers”

In The Mingling of Souls, Matt Chandler credits author Tommy Nelson with helping him create 10 “nevers” for regarding marital conflict:

1. Never respond to your mate brashly.

2. Never touch your mate out of temper or frustration, ever.

3. Never seek to shame your spouse in public (or in private for that matter).

4. Never fight in front of your kids (or use them as leverage in a disagreement).

5. Never mention your spouse’s parents or any other family member.

6. Never dig up the past; try to stay on topic.

7. Never try to win.

8. Never yell, use derogatory comments or verbally defame your spouse.

9. Never withhold physical intimacy or use sex to manipulate.

10. Never put off seeking resolution.
