If I’m in Tokyo, I’m at Church (VWC) On Sunday

Over the last two weeks I’ve been in three countries and some 7 cities. I got half a service in at Victory Word Center nearly two weeks ago, but I missed church last week as I was in Oregon.

Had some great prayer times in both Florida and Oregon, but man, I hate to miss church. I’m stoked to be at Victory tomorrow. As I think about tomorrow I am reminded of those people that we see every week. They rock!  What a blessing and what an amazing church family.

I also think about those who just show up just 2 or 3 times a month. I just don’t get why it is not their priority to be in Gods house every Sunday.

If you are a Jesus person, make it your priority to get into the Lords House every week. I tell you this, when you make the Lord s Day, His day and commit to being there no matter what happens, you will begin to connect with God and HIS Kingdom. When you do that, Watch out!

  • You will see your family strengthened
  • Financial breakthroughs
  • healing and health in your bodies
  • Joy you can’t explain
  • Salvationist of your loved ones
  • Yourself knowing the voice of God and having and having wisdom for every situation

Get into Gods house this weekend. Make The Lord’s day the Lord DAY for your whole family.

Don’t be afraid to ask God

Luke 11:9-13 (GWTransl)
“So I tell you to ask, and you will receive. Search, and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened for you. Everyone who asks will receive. The one who searches will find, and for the person who knocks, the door will be opened.
“If your child asks you, his father, for a fish, would you give him a snake instead? Or if your child asks you for an egg, would you give him a scorpion? Even though you’re evil, you know how to give good gifts to your children. So how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?”

The Framework For How To Pray

Luke 11:2-4 (NKJV Strong’s,)

So He said to them, “When you pray, say:

Our Father in heaven,

Hallowed be Your name.

Your kingdom come.

Your will be done

On earth as it is in heaven.

Give us day by day our daily bread.

And forgive us our sins,

For we also forgive everyone who is indebted to us.

And do not lead us into temptation,

But deliver us from the evil one.”

Of course it’s okay to recite the prayer Jesus taught those following. It’s very good. 

Giving to God From Your Heart

Mark 12:41-44 (NKJV Strong’s Bible)
The Widow’s Two Mites

Now Jesus sat opposite the treasury and saw how the people put money into the treasury. And many who were rich put in much.

Then one poor widow came and threw in two mites, which make a quadrans.

So He called His disciples to Himself and said to them, “Assuredly, I say to you that this poor widow has put in more than all those who have given to the treasury;

for they all put in out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty put in all that she had, her whole livelihood.”

The most important thing God wants you to do

Mark 12:29-31 (NKJV Strong’s Bible)Jesus answered him, “The first of all the commandments is: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.

And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment.

And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”

Love God and love people. 

Know the Word, Know God

  

Mark 12:24 (NKJV Strong’s Bible)Jesus answered and said to them, “Are you not therefore mistaken, because you do not know the Scriptures nor the power of God?

People who know the Word of God will know the God of the Word. 

God has left the earth to us, for now

Mark 12:1 (NKJV Strong’s Bible)Then He began to speak to them in parables: “A man planted a vineyard and set a hedge around it, dug a place for the wine vat and built a tower. And he leased it to vinedressers and went into a far country.
