Procrastination is a killer of purpose. I must be honest with

everyone, I have been struggling lately to find the motivation to produce these

podcasts. It is hard to express the last year in words. My life has been torn

apart with the loss of my job and my friend.

I desire to give value to people.

But who encourages the encourager?

We all go through times in our lives when we feel our

efforts are without impact. In those times we must learn to focus on the Word

of God and trust that He has a plan and a purpose. Knowing that He has not

placed in our lives a calling that leads us to defeat.  

Sometimes we just need to encourage ourselves in the Lord.

As David encouraged himself through all that he faced, we must encourage

ourselves.

As I prepare to move forward and help everyone find the

Kingdom of Heaven within their lives and begin to live out the promises of God

and the purpose God has given each of us, I must also encourage you to keep

pressing forward in the midst of every.

David asked a very poignant question in Psalms 8:4. What is man

that God is mindful of us?

When you look at the frailty of the human race and man’s limited days on this earth compared to eternity. Nevertheless, it makes you wonder why does God even care about us?

The truth is God desires for man is to manifest His glory.

The essence of man’s soul is a ruminate of the breath God breathed into man. That

residual breath has a weight that can be scientifically measured as we pass

from this life to the next. God is waiting to see what we can do with the great

potential He has placed within us.

He has crowned us with honor and majesty and placed a vestige of His glory within us. What are we doing with it?

It is time we wake up to our great potential and start turning that potential into action. The transition of our potential into kinetic energy will transform the world around us. Now, we must begin to take ownership of what God has given us and start living out our God-given value.

I am saddened at the loss of a very dear and precious friend of mine, Pastor Miguel Escobar. He and I spend many hours talking about the kingdom and working on materials for his ministry TerraGlobe. I will miss hearing him call me up and calling me his Amigo.

I co-authored a book with him entitled “The Noah Generation: A Time of Revival Rain” which is currently undergoing it’s final editing. However, we were working to raise the funds to publish this book and it has not been published to date.

In addition, I was working with him to generate some content for a few podcasts for Manifesting the Kingdom. Therefore, he had sent me an audio file in an email recently and I was working to integrate it into a future podcast. My hope was to have some future interviews with him to share with our audience.

Pastor Miguel worked in the Kingdom of God for over 30 years and had an amazing anointing on his life. I remember him laying hands om my mother in law and her being slain in the Spirit. Such wonderful memories.

Stand on the Logos of God

So many people today are operating on autopilot. They go

through their days are driven by habits that they have developed over the years.

The use of habits is not a bad thing. It is good to have habits that drive you

to greatness, but many people utilize habit to diminish the mental work

required to live a life destined for greatness.

We must learn to own every moment of our lives if we are to

maximize the God-given potential within us. As I mentioned, habits are not all

bad. There are some habits that are critical to maximizing your potential. I,

for one, am an avid believer in learning. I think everyone should read and

learn every day of their lives.

Establishing the habit of reading for 30 minutes a day is a

great start to increasing your knowledge and building your potential. There are

many similar habits that you can add to your daily regiment that can add to

improving your skill and potential.

 The greatest pitfall

of them all is to step into a life of habit and forget to own the life that has

been given to you. Every moment is a gift from God. If we live a life completely

full of habits and never take time to own every moment of our day we will

awaken out of our slumber only to find ourselves decades down the road has

never achieved our dreams.

The vision God has placed within you is yours, so take ownership of the vision.

To truly own the vision, you must own the assets required to bring your God-vision into reality. The key asset you have is your time. If you are not taking ownership of your time, you will never have enough time to invest in your vision.

We must live every moment of our life with intention. I have

seen so many people in my short life die without achieving their vision. Life

is to short to waste. Invest your time; in your children, your family, your

relationships, your legacy, but most of all, your vision.

We must keep our lives balances and our priorities properly

positioned. I have seen ministers speed every moment fully engaged in the work

of the church only to lose their children to drugs, alcohol, perversion, and suicide.  We must take ownership of our time and invest

it in all the Lord has given us to do.

We must first tend the things of the garden before we can go

out and subdue the world. Put in place habits that ensure you rule well. Then ensure

those habits do not rule you and prioritize your time to maximize your impact

and influence. Give yourself fully to your purpose. Know that your job does not

define your legacy; your legacy is defined by how you invest your time. Invest

it in areas that have a  high rate of

return.  

Over the last few years, we have watched as a myriad of ministers have prayed over President Donald Trump. I believe it is vitally important that we pray for our leaders. The only way the Kingdom of Heaven is going to gain ground is to have Godly men under the leading of the Holy Ghost in political offices. Men of integrity and virtue.

With that said, we all know that these traits are rare among

career politicians and most if not all who are elected to high office.  If these virtues are present, they seem to not

be on display in today’s political circus.

To truly take a role of leadership, one must not only lead

in finance, politics, and business but also spiritually. The spiritual

leadership of those who follow you is the only way to maintain Kingdom principles

throughout every aspect of your sphere of influence.

What would happen if President Donald Trump would stand up

before a national audience and begin to pray for the nation?

If President Donald Trump would begin to pray for each

member of Congress, call each house member into his office and lay hands on

them and pray for them in the name of Jesus. How would that change the dynamics

of Washington DC?

I can see now, President Donald Trump lays hands on the reports in a press conference, and they fall out in the Spirit speaking in tongues and prophesying.

I say these things not out of jest, but out of honest desire

to have a sitting president not just accept prayer but lead the nation in

prayer. The scriptures say, “ If my people, which are called by my name, shall

humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways;

then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their

land.”

When God gave these words to Solomon by night, it was preceded

by Solomon making am open prayer before all of Isreal and the fire falling from

heaven. The king of the nation assembling the rulers of the people and the citizen

of the nation and making an open prayer before God brought not only a promise

from God but also the fire from heaven.  

We need president Donald Trump to stand before this great nation built on the Judaeo Christian principles of the scripture and to pray honestly from his heart for this nation. This action will change the course of our nation.

The other day I was battling with my vision for where

Eternal Kingdom International is going as a company. I was talking to the Lord

about the vision He has given to me. The publishing company and all the intricate

details that He has downloaded into my spirit over the last two years. I do not

know how to do any of it. I have been following His lead as much as I can. He

has guided me through many things. But I still feel that I do not know what I

am doing.

Amid the conversation, I told God that I don’t know what to

do with this vision He has for me. He immediately stopped me and said, “it is

not my vision for your it is the vision I have given you.”

He then began to explain to me that it was a vision that I

had to own before it would come to pass. I was complaining to Him about not

having anything to make it happen. He began to show me the assets He had

allowed me to begin to accumulate; the websites, the URLs the ideas and talent that

would be needed in the future to make the vision a reality. The mission

component in all of it was me.

I could not see myself stewarding the assets that would be required

to make the vision a reality. I could not see what He has already placed in my

care.

It was at that moment. He showed me that I could not steward

something of which I would not take ownership. It was at that moment that I

began to realize that I was in error because I was leaving myself out of the

equation. If the vision God has given me is to become a reality, I must take

ownership of the vision. I must lead and work to make the vision a reality.

God will provide the provision for the vision, but only if I

take ownership of the vision and begin to set the stage for it to come to pass.

Many of us leave the vision in God’s hand. We asked God for

His plan for our lives, and then we do not reach out and accept that plan and take

ownership of it. Because we fail to possess the vision, we can never steward

the resources to bring it into existence.

Today I challenge you to take ownership of the vision God

has for your life. Begin to take inventory of the assets God has already placed

in your care to lay the foundation for the vision. Then begin to steward those

assets and watch them grow as you lead and take ownership of the future God has

ordained for your life.  

I was watching a video online of Vladamir Puttin talking

about Russia being the last nation on earth where white people are the majority

of the population. To many people, this statement may sound racist, but from

the vantage point of Vladamir Puttin, he was making a point that the political

power influence and ethnic origins of the nation of Russia were being maintained

against invading forces of other ethnic groups.

Not to defend his stance, but when you look at the invasion

of the Muslim population from the region of Africa and the middle east into

other nations with the agenda of turning the world into a Muslim caliphate, it

is an interesting stance to take from President Puttin’s vantage point.

It has been said that we are one generation away from the

extension of Christianity. It can also be said that we are one generation away

from the extension of white people. I make this statement not based on racial

dominance or white privilege but a trend, I have noticed and read about in many

books. The dominance of the Europian empires has all but collapsed in the last

100 years.

The once prominent empires that spread the Western culture

to not only the world but also the industrialized advances of the west and Christianity

have all but collapsed. What happened to the Europian dominance?

If you look at the current population of the Europian descendants,

you will see that there is a decline in the percentage of European’s throughout

all the countries in the world.  Where has

the decline come from?

The once dominate Christian ethnic group have begun to not

only lose its dominion and dominance on the world stage, but it has also begun

to lose its population base.

What has happened?

Have we become so comfortable in the sweet life that we have given up the fight?

We must look at the cultural significance of the decline of

world empires to gain insight into how we fit into the Kingdom of Heaven and

the potential pitfalls that have propagated the fall of the once dominate

European Empires.

As the church, we are positioning ourselves to fall in the same

manner of decline as the major empires of Europe. We must begin to evaluate where

we are on the world stage and in our progress towards maintaining and increasing

our territory if we are to be effected in the Kingdom of God.

In today’s world, people are trying everything and anything

to get ahead. I remember when I was younger, I tried to mimic preachers and

ministers. I remember trying to act like MacGyver. I wanted to be an Airforce jet

pilot and acted like Tom Cruz in Top Gun. All the time, not understanding that

I was being driven by the works of the flesh an allowing emulation to be my

primary motivator.

As the years had gone by I have witnessed many people become carbon copies of others. But what the world is looking for is authentic people. People who are not just like everyone else. People who are honestly themselves and not a shadow of someone else.

As sons and daughters of God, we have been made new, and we all have specific God-given skills and talents. The only way to maximize our unique potential is to embrace our authentic self. 

It is such a novel idea that one is

secure in their identity.  This is one of

the key areas the enemy tries to wage war on our minds. Being secure in who you

are is key to winning this battle. The key to ruling over the territory given

to use is first to rule the territory of our minds.

I will admit throughout my life; I

have lost this battle many times. Even as recently as last month, I was battling

with my identity and worth. After years of working in medical research and writing

and finding myself unemployed and looking for a job, I have struggled with my self-worth

and value.

It is easy to tie your worth to your job, your title, your ministry, your family, but our true worth and identity comes not from things but from who God says that we are.

In our last podcast, I mentioned a

divided kingdom, but if our mind is divided, we cannot stand. We will fail to maintain

our identity; the devil will supply us with a new one.

We must take ownership of who we

are and be authentic. We must listen to the Word of God and let His word and His

purpose define us. If we are to be good stewards of the Kingdom, we must first

steward our identity, talents, and purpose. Only then, can we truly step into

the realm of influence God ordained for our lives.

Today in America there is strong division. Whether it is

pro-life vs. Choice, traditional marriage vs. gay marriage, Islam vs.

Christianity, democrats vs. republications, Trump supports vs. impeachment,

lines are being drawn in this nation.

How as citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven are we supposed to

navigate these issues? Do you pick sides and jump all in? Do we go with the

majority and let the cards fall where they may? What is our best course of

action?

The problem with this line of questioning is context of the question. In reality we are not citizens of the nation in which we live. We are citizens of an eternal Kingdom of Heaven.

We have been placed upon this planet to reclaim the territory which was lost.

The code of conduct we operate by is defined not by the rule

of the law of the country to which we have been assigned as ambassadors. Nevertheless,

we must operate within the confines of the laws outlined by the territory we

reside with the stipulation that we hold preeminent the laws of the Kingdom of

God. Any law of the land which is in violation of the Kingdom must be navigated

in such a way that we hold true to our Kingdom heritage.

We are commissioned to bring the culture of Heaven to earth.

This may mean we have to take a stand against the current culture. There are those who will use this against us. Nevertheless, They will accuse us of taking sides. And we are. We are taking side for the kingdom.

This may no be a comfortable position to take. And at times it may even feel as if the whole world is against us. The truth of the matter is the system of this world is against us. Therefore, We must stand for what is right. There is no other option. We are the only opportunity many people have of seeing the Kingdom we can not let out light be diminished because it was not politically correct.

If you look at the strategy being used by those that oppose

kingdom principles, we see that their tactics are to shame us into compliance. They

judge our views as harsh and not in love. We do not lack love because we do not

tolerate immorality.  God is love, and

His word explicitly shows His actions towards those who were immoral.

If we are to be the light, to be the kingdom, we must set the standard and not be driven by the agendas of political parties, religion, or society.

We must be driven by the Spirit of God.

Mothers Are A Gift From God

This week has been hectic to say the least. My mother in the hospital for a heart catheterization and all the myriad of oter things that life b rings our way. But taking the time to honor the people that have impacted our lives is critical. I heard Steve Havery say once that in life you can make it without a job, without many of the things we call necessities but you can’t make it without friends. We need each other we need the people that speak life into us to make it through our day. Mothers Are A Gift From God !

Mothers are one of the special gifts God has given to us

that speak life into our future.

However many people lack a mother. This is where we must step

up to the plate a fill the gap.

You see someone sowed into you the seed of the greatness

that was within them. We need to honor those that have sown into our lives and

sow into others the greatness that is within us.
