In 2000, I received a call from the Bible College I was attending, stating that I was past due on my tuition. This was hard to understand because I thought I had received a full scholarship when I was admitted to the college. I told the College that I would have to stop attending and work off my debt, before I would be able to come back. I called my pastor, he prayed that God would move Heaven and Earth to work this situation out. Later that day, I received a call from the college, stating that they would apply a portion of my current student loan to the past due bill. This would allow me to continue attending. And I would not have to stop attending.

In 2001, my car was hit on the way to work by an uninsured driver. I was overwhelmed with the fact that I had lost income due to the accident. And now I had to cover my insurance deductible and a percentage of the rental car cost. Again, I called my pastor and we prayed about the situation. Later that day, when speaking to the insurance company they said my insurance covered lost wages. These wages helped me to pay the deductible and cost of car rental.

James 5:16 states, The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. If you are right with God, you have a 100 percent greater chance of Him answering your prayer.

I remember in 1999 falling into a state of depression that lasted for about 12 years. I had been working in my chosen profession for about 4 years. The job I had been working at was one in which if you were given a hundred tasks but got one wrong the supervisor would come and speak with you about it. Normally if you took a test and got 99% that would be considered good. But at this place of work that wasn't enough. Finally, after about 4 years it was more than I could bear at the time. I found myself depressed and could not understand why.

With some processing I was able to understand that some issues throughout my life had played a part in this final blow. My dad began to cheat on my mom when I was about three years old. Although I had nothing to do with this I felt rejected. When playing baseball in the schoolyard I was always one of the last picked on a team. During my high school days when trying out four different sports I was either cut from the team or if chosen never really seen any playing time. When I started my career and it seemed to demand such perfection this was a straw that broke the camel's back.

I can really relate with individuals in a similar situation. I'm sure you have heard of people that are you so depressed they don't even shower. I was never at that point but sometimes the simplest tasks could take an entire day.

Finally, about 7 years later I found a book on a discount rack at Walmart. It was a very small book about 3 in by 5 in and around a hundred pages. It was called Healing for Damaged Emotions by David Seamands https://amzn.to/3aFJRuz. David Seamand is a Christian minister with great revelation On how the human soul becomes wounded and how the human soul can be whole again. In 2007 while reading this book,  I came across the scripture in 1 John 3:1, See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! It was the beginning of my understanding of who I was in Christ Jesus. And that was the beginning of my healing from depression. It did not happen overnight. In fact, it did take another 5 to 6 years. But the healing did come. I would recommend this book to anybody suffering from any type of emotional distress. In fact, I will put a link in the description so you can get the book if you're interested https://amzn.to/3aFJRuz.

I remember when I got married. My wife and I rented a basement apartment from one of her co-workers. We paid $400 a month. The apartment included a large living room, a large eat-in kitchen, a nice sized bedroom and full bathroom. Plus, all utilities were included even a hookup for cable TV and telephone at no cost. The only downfall was when things needed maintenance the landlord was not very quick to respond.

After about 3 years of living there, we began to look for a property to purchase. No matter how hard we looked, we couldn't find anything. I continued to look despite feeling in my heart that it may not be the right time to make a move. So, We decided to take a chance on a rent-to-own condo. Shortly, after we got into the home, I realized we had made a mistake. You could hear everything that went on in the building. The owners of the condo below us would play loud music all night and smoke marijuana all day. And the work that was needed on the condo was more than we could handle at the time. The drive to work for me was more than I had bargained for.

During this time I discovered the Scripture, Proverbs 10:22 , “Yahweh's blessing brings wealth, and he adds no trouble to it. So, I repented and we moved back to the same city that we had come from before the move. I'm not saying that if you're in a similar situation that you would have to move back to the previous City you lived in but that is what we did. We found an apartment for $475 a month. And this time we did have to pay utilities. But with the 9 months we found a home. And this time we prayed that it was not God's will for us then please don't let the owner accept our offer. We purchased a two-bedroom, 1350 square foot home from the original owner and received $600 cash back at close. So, we purchased a home with no money down.

God is good. despite the mistakes I had made in purchasing the condo He still gave us a beautiful home that we lived in for 15 years. I believe my repentance has something to do with it. But, ultimately God had everything to do with it.

I remember when I began to investigate Christianity.  It was right after I heard the voice of God say,”You have tried everything to be happy. Why don't you see what the Christians have to live for?” I went home and took a Bible off my closet shelf. It was given to me a year prior and I never intended to read it. But I began to read it. Then I started watching church on TV every Sunday. I would watch it on a television that had a UHF signal. You had to dial it in the channel like a radio. I could never see the picture because it was to fuzzy. But the pastor seemed so happy to be talking about Jesus. So, I would  listen every Sunday.  when I was dating my wife there were many times we would spend the entire evening watching Christian television. And when we got married, we would attend our Sunday morning service, then attend her sister's Church service. Then go back to our church for evening service or to another church for a special Sunday night service.

You can see that I was hungry for God. I remember a saying, “if they were to haul you into court will there be enough evidence to convict you for being a Christian.”  And in my case, I guess there is evidence. If you're a Christian I feel far from God, why don't you open up your Bible and begin to read it. or why don't you stream a church service to your computer or listen to a podcast. it won't be long until you become hungry for God again. Because you have a promise in Matthew 5:6, Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.

And if you're not a Christian and want to become one, would you pray with me. Say, Lord Jesus I repent of my sins, come into my heart, I make you my Savior and Lord.  Friends, if you prayed that prayer, I believe you got Born Again. Keep God first place in your life.  I believe He’s going to take you further than you ever dreamed.

I remember before I was a Christian, I was somewhere I should not have been, doing things I  should not have been doing. When someone tried to rob me. They asked me for all my money. And I had no money on me. But I was wearing a gold cross that was given to me. The individual that gave it to me said, “the chain is so strong that if somebody tries to steal it, thet chain will never break. But, fortunately the chain did break that day. The robber snatched it and ran.

I said I was a Christian. But, actually I had no clue what that meant. I was a seeker. I was seeking for God. Within seconds of the cross being pulled from my neck, I heard a voice. It was not audible. Yet, it said, “you have tried everything to be happy, why don't you see what the Christians have to live for. That was the start of my journey to understand Christianity.

You will hear 3 voices in your life. You will hear your own voice; you will here Satan's voice; and you will hear the voice of God. John 10:27 says, My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. That's why you must study the Bible, the Word of God. Because the Word is God (John 1:1). By studying the Word, you will know God's voice when you hear it because God's voice sounds like His Word. And this is the help you will need in order to know His voice.

Growing up my dad had a good job. But, unfortunately he would spend his paycheck on what he wanted and not what we needed. This meant that we spent a lot of time in our home without utilities. And we would have went without food if it wasn't for my mom's parents. If I can remember correctly my grandparents bought our groceries for about a 10-year period. From the age I was 5 years old, all the way until I was 15 years old.

When I look back over my life, no matter how bad it was, I can remember the good times. I remember the times my grandfather would give me 5 dollars for a good report card and then my grandmother would give me another 5 dollars for the same report card. She would say, “don’t say anything to your grandfather about this.

I would spend every Saturday with my grandparents growing up. And my grandfather would take our family out to lunch every time.

My grandparents always made sure that myself and my siblings always had a gift for our birthdays and Christmas.

Towards the end of her life my grandmother won woman of the year for all the great things she had done in her life. Like giving blood more frequently than allowed during World War II.

Despite all the things my grandparents did during their lifetimes, I never heard them speak about a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. But the Bible says in John 3:16, For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life (World English Bible). God standard is perfection but we are not perfect. So, He sent his son as a sacrifice for our sins.

I remember at about age 10 years old going to my grandfather's house On my father's side Of the family. My grandfather would be watching the 700 Club. The host Pat Robertson would be talking about topics I did not understand.  And then he would tell you to lay your hands on the TV screen that he wants to pray with you.  My grandfather would say do you watch this guy?  Do you watch the 700 Club. I remember thinking I'm just a kid; why would I want to watch this.

But the Bible reads in Jeremiah 1:5, “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. Before you were born, I sanctified you. I have appointed you a prophet to the nations (World English Bible).”

And 2 Peter 3:9 reads, The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but he is patient with us, not wishing that anyone should perish, but that all should come to repentance (World English Bible).

God was using my grandfather to reveal Himself to me. And he's been looking for relationship with you before you were born. You may be thinking like me; Who is this crazy guy telling me about God. God sent me to tell you; He's looking for you.

My covid-19 Story

Let's begin today's teaching with our foundational text for the series. Proverbs 6:2 says, you are trapped by the words of your mouth: you are ensnared by the words of your mouth.

1) Live in the Authority of God's Word.

Psalm 1:2-3 reads, 2 But his delight is in Yahweh’s law. On his law he meditates day and night. 3 He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water that produces its fruit in its season whose leaf also does not wither (World English Bible).

2) Live in the Power of God's Word.

Hebrews 4:12 reads, 12 For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and is able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart (World English Bible).

3) Live in the Power of God's Spoken Word.

Isaiah 55:11 reads, 11 so is my word that goes out of my mouth: it will not return to me void, but it will accomplish that which I please, and it will prosper in the thing I sent it to do (World English Bible).

God’s word is not powerless; It is only powerless when unspoken. So, speak the Word of God.

Because You can Have what You Say!
