Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for therein do I delight. Psalm 119:35

In these days that we are living in we must stand-fast (a firm, fixed or settled position) and be steadfast (loyal, faithful, committed, devoted, dedicated) when it comes to staying on the old paths that has been given to us by Almighty God from His precious and powerful word. God has set our course when it comes to our everyday lives through the compass of His Word. The devil wants to discourage us to get off the path the Lord has for us and merge on to the world's path. The temptations are very real even for the most seasoned saint so we must continually and vigilantly abide in Christ Jesus, while walking in the Spirit, and while desiring the sincere milk of the word.

A Plan

1. Our Prayer
Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law. Psalm 119:18
(Insight)

The redeemed will live a power pact life when this prayer is the desire of their heart.

2. Our Passion
My soul breaketh for the longing that it hath unto thy judgments at all times. Psalm 119:20
(Intensity)

When one has such an intense desire for the Word of God they will also have an intense desire for God. The two cannot be separated.

3. Our Portion
Thou art my portion, O LORD: I have said that I would keep thy words. Psalm 119:57
(Intimacy)

Can you at this very moment without stutter or stammer say, “Thou art my portion, O Lord.” Many have dedicated themselves to a church or a pastor or a Sunday school teacher to the point that they have relegated the Lord to the back room of their heart. Our fellowship with the Lord should never be hindered or set aside because of our dedication to a mere man. When the Lord is our portion every other relationship in our lives will be in its proper place.

When you choose to live a Sold Out -Spirit Filled- Bible Reading- Soul Winning- Bible Believing- Christ loving- Christ Honoring- Prayer Warrior life- Remember you will be stirring the pot in hell and will have the attention of the devil and his ungodly bunch. Don’t STOP! Don’t QUIT!

Will you pray for these men and their families? Let's pray for God's Protection, Power and Anointing upon them! O how we need men of God that God will use in a powerful way in these days we are living in.

I find it interesting that in the book of Acts we read, “Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them.” (Acts 4:8a) The religious leaders of the day were filled with indignation- “Then the high priest rose up, and all they that were with him, (which is the sect of the Sadducees,) and were filled with indignation.” (Acts 5:17)  A fisherman who walked with the Lord Jesus was filled with that which is of God, but the so called trained in religion were filled with that which was the opposite.

And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; Ephesians 2:1

Another year is drawing to a close and for me it is another opportunity to praise and thank the Lord for saving me. I am quite certain that there are those who feel that I am a bit over the top when it comes to my gratitude for being saved. As the song says,

Some may say that I'm too noisy
But I'll tell you the reason why
If they only felt the glory
They would shout as well as I.

I will never be able to completely convey the joy and victory that I have in my Saviour the Lord Jesus Christ. Born again at the age of 36 and now as I am writing this as a 51 year old man it has never gotten old. I pray that the Lord continues to stir the white hot Holy Ghost fueled fire in the depths of my very being when it come to the gratitude for my salvation and in the power to preach His Word in 2018.
I remember a New Years eve Church service at Lifeway Baptist Church 11 years ago where I preached for the first time in front of the Church. Our Pastor had a popcorn preaching night for the preacher boys and he asked me to preach. I was the oldest preacher boy at the age of 40. My life has never been the same. I am thankful the investment that those folks made in me.
I Praise the Mighty Name of the Living God and I thank Him once again for His mercy, grace and love for me who is not deserving of any of it. I deserved hell! Praise God I am saved! What a Saviour!
Let's dream big in Christ Jesus in 2018! Let's stay in the fight and continue in the race for the Lord! Let's Pray without ceasing! Lets Praise the Lord!Let's encourage someone! Let's share the Gospel! Let's give our all for Him who gave His best for the whosoever!

Happy New Year,
Evangelist Tracy

I would like to present to you some questions and only ask that you be completely honest and transparent not only with yourself, but more importantly with Almighty God. It is past time that we get serious and sincere when it comes to our relationship with our Lord. Before we get to the questions I would like for you to consider this prayer, “Search me O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting” (Psalm 139:23-24.)

The Questions
1. If your spiritual temperature were to be taken what would the thermometer read?
2. Has your Love for the Lord increased or decreased since you were saved?
3. Has your time in God’s word been replaced with other things?
4. Has your prayer time become drive-thru in its nature?
5. If the trumpet were to sound what condition would the Lord Jesus find your heart and life in?

I want God’s people to be encouraged, strengthened and at the same time challenged in a way that will draw them closer to the Lord.

"God offers life, but not an improved old life. The life He offers is life out of death. It stands always on the far side of the cross. Whoever would possess it must pass under the rod. He must repudiate himself and concur in God's just sentence against him.

What does this mean to the individual, the condemned man who would find life in Christ Jesus? How can this theology be translated into life? Simply, he must repent and believe. He must forsake his sins and then go on to forsake himself. Let him cover nothing, defend nothing, excuse nothing. Let him not seek to make terms with God, but let him bow his head before the stroke of God's stern displeasure and acknowledge himself worthy to die.
Having done this let him gaze with simple trust upon the risen Saviour, and from Him will come life and rebirth and cleansing and power. The cross that ended the earthly life of Jesus now puts an end to the sinner; and the power that raised Christ from the dead now raises him to a new life along with Christ.

To any who may object to this or count it merely a narrow and private view of truth, let me say God has set His hallmark of approval upon this message from Paul's day to the present. Whether stated in these exact words or not, this has been the content of all preaching that has brought life and power to the world through the centuries."

O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is. Psalm 63:1

A. Prominence
“O God”
B. Possession
“Thou art my God”
C. Plan
“Early will I seek thee”
D. Personal
“My soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is.”

David made a choice to Desire God. He did not allow circumstance to dictate his desire for God! He was all in

O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. Psalm 34:8

Do we derive more joy from the secular world and the sin that it peddles or do we draw and glean more joy and life from the Saviour and the Scriptures. I have to wonder if many of the redeemed struggle continually with putting this world down and continuing in the things of God. Many Christians seem to be rummaging through the trash bin of this world when Almighty God has a bountiful table that is full of goodness and that which is satisfying. The Bible says, “O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him” (Psalm 34:8). Oh to have a sweeping reviving in the hearts and lives of God’s people. A revival that would take a hold of God’s people and that would in turn shake the very being of a lost and hurting world.
