Actions

An action is what you or another person does that is under your control.

We can go to church and act like a Christian, although we do not become a Christian because we go to church and act like one.

When you are saved people expect your actions to begin and be different. 

These are the things you do when your life is in a state of stability.

Galatians 5: 16-25

16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

24 And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

The spirit is served to us not only as the teacher to lead our actions but as the comforter to help us better our reactions.

Reactions

A Reaction is defined as an action performed or a feeling experienced in response to a situation or event, thus revealing their true nature.

Sometimes we may not have time to think about what we are going to do or say before we react. 

A reaction will most often reveal the true nature of your comforts, beliefs and pleasures.

It’s what you do when your back is against the wall.

2 Peter 1: 2-13

2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, according as

3 His divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him that hath called us to glory and virtue.

4 Thereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises, that by these you might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

5 And besides this, using all diligence, add to your faith virtue, and to virtue knowledge,

6 and to knowledge temperance, and to temperance patience, and to patience godliness,

7 and to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness charity.

8 For if these things be in you and abound, they make you that ye shall be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9 But he that lacketh these things is blind and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.

10 Therefore brethren, give diligence all the more to make your calling and election sure, for if ye do these things ye shall never fall.

11 For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting Kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

12 Therefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them and are strengthened in the present truth.

13 Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance,

Singing And Speaking At Jake’s Branch United Baptist Church

Posted on by

It was truly a pleasure to get to go back over to Jake’s Branch once again. Some of my family attends this church that live in that area, and I love them dearly. The church has always made me and my family so welcome throughout the years and has always encouraged us to continue in the ministry that we work in. It’s not everywhere that you go that you always receive that encouragement and fellowship, so it is definitely appreciated when you receive it each and every time you are there! We love each and every one, and it was great to see so many familiar faces.

It was so easy to preach, and is always easy to when the freedom of the spirit is present in the midst of willing vessels for God. We’ll hopefully have the message about Jehoshaphat on here pretty soon, so stay tuned for that! Lately we have felt strongly led to get out and to go send the word of encouragement and instruction where we have been lately, and it is truly a blessing to hear the countless confirmations come back to us through the spoken words and through the actions of people being bold to come back to God and most importantly being saved! It is so wonderful to see people have their desire rekindled, and we hope that as we continue that it rubs off and others start on the same mission that we all be of help to one another that we love our neighbors as ourselves and put into practice that true love of Christ!

Remember us as we keep going forward!

Singing And Speaking At Beacon Of Light

Posted on by

What better way to begin writing about this other than talking about what the night was for: the Lord God!

The presence of the Lord was surely abundant and ready to help whosoever would come! We only sang a couple of songs, but it was easy to do nonetheless! We always feel free and welcome when we go. The message was about as long as the last one, haha. I hope to have it on the web site in about a week. I get them on here as quick as I can. I hope that it blesses you! Enough about us!

The drama team there did an amazing job with the songs that they sang together. They even have enough youth to have their own praise band! I was totally digging that! They had at least two or three of them testify and it just blew us away! After their songs they performed 3 different dramas, and they were awesome! One in particular, performed to the song “Who Am I” by Casting Crowns was something that will reach out and bless anyone who sees it. As Rebekah said later in the night, they just do not realize what kind of program they have right now. We encourage the Beacon of Light to continue their focus on their youth! They truly are that generation ready to serve God.

Thanks to all of our regular church members and special visitors and friends for coming out and showing the support as well! You have no idea what it does for us sometimes!

It was truly a great miracle that we made it there! For me and my wife, it was just one of those days in traffic and a reminder that the ministry is not always going to be a bed of roses but is well worth the road trips!

I was so thrilled to have all of the family there. We call ourselves “Heart of Grace” as a trio (Me, Rebekah and Mona), but we have sang as an entire family (with Regina, Kay, and Dan) for many years. People sometimes just assume that people are glad or happy or that they feel the way that they do, but I like giving roses where they are due. We are a very tightly-knit family, and I appreciate what God had planned for us long ago. Everyone has a special place and part and without each part it just is not as special!

Singing And Speaking At Sweet Hill Church

Posted on by

It would be safe to say that it was quite the journey to get there from where we all live, but it sure was a beautiful trip there! As many times as we have been on the road, it always gives us times to reflect on all the wonderful times we have shared together going on the road and working the ministry for God. Oh the stories we could tell!

We had a wonderful time at Sweet Hill! We were ever-so welcomed, and it was just a wonderful place to go in and feel right at home. It was so great to see the amount of youth that they had in their church. A lot of places are losing sight of the youth, but this was not one for sure!

We enjoyed the singing as always, but we sure missed Mona! Speaking was great as well, I always enjoy getting out there and obeying God more and more.

I am definitely proud of all those that came up for prayer and want to let them all know that we will continue to pray for everything that was brought to us. Just because we only come one day does not mean you ever leave the burden of our hearts. We hope to come back and visit soon, and we will post the dates when we do!

Singing At New Freedom Community Church

Posted on by

We had never been at New Freedom before, and it was truly a great experience to meet new people!

There was some wonderful singing there, it just lifted our spirits to be in the midst of it. It was easy to be free and to sing and just be yourself in the Lord. After all, no matter where you are, that is who we are supposed to be everywhere that we go regardless of the signs on the door!

The way that the spirit was leading the songs and worship was all based around the “peace” of God. I was proud to see all of those who came to get closer to God, for there is no shame in wanting more!

I was also proud of Rebekah and Mona for stepping out there and doing more!

We pray blessings upon that church, that they continue to grow and never lose sight of what God has in store for them!

Singing at Rutledge Pike

Posted on by

We really enjoyed ourselves at Rutledge Pike. It’s good to be able to visit your brother and sister churches to be able to lend a good hand and support. We loved our experience there, and appreciate all who came out to worship and give glory to the Lord!

We will definitely be back for more, perhaps to speak or to sing or both! We’ll keep you posted! In the mean time, if you are looking for a good place to go and hear the wonderful preaching of the word of God, look no further.

Thank you all for keeping us going! God Bless you!
