When there is a stranger in the path you are taking, they may be part of a plan God has for your life.  Don't be to quick to dismiss someone who you think may be in the way of accomplishing your goal.  They may be there to help or guide you to the path you need to be on.

Which Brother are You?

There is Safety "Under the Blood".  For this to happen, obedience and sacrifice is required.  Pharoah refused to honor Moses' request to let His people go.  This cost the lives of every first-born in the land of Egypt.  The only exception was for those who did as God told them.  That they sacrifice a lamb, free from spot or blemish, and use the blood to mark the door posts an the lintel above the door.  Jesus was our sacrifice and the blood from His hands and head cover "our" door posts and lintel.  Trouble may surround you, but the Destroyer (Satan) MUST pass over your house when you "stay under the blood".

No Great Success ever comes without Failure.  Sometimes a few, sometimes many.  There is never a failure without discovering that which does Not succeed. WD-40 was created after, you guessed it, 39 Failures.  Dyson tested 5,271 designs before his creation of the now famous vacuum.  A Bran Gruel breakfast cereal maker spilled some of the product on the stove-top. The gruel crackled into flakes, which tasted far better than the original product. After 36 recipes were tested, Wheaties became a national favorite. Such is our walk with our God.  He has the perfect Plan.  We have the instruction manual; the Bible.  It is often unclear what the end result will be, but it WILL come together, even after facing multiple failures.The failure brings us Closer to completing the plan God put before us.  Sometimes the plan is divided into multiple parts and although completion of one part is a success, we mistake that for failure because we assume that was all God wanted us to do.  Don't give up just because of Failure.  That may be the display stand for which the Main part of the Plan rests.Bill Cosby once told a story about his experience in Shop Class in school.  Everything he attempted to make never came out the way he wanted it to, so he cut two notches in it and called it an ashtray.  Sure, he failed, but made something useful from the failure.Don't let everything you consider a failure stop you from completing the plan God has for you.

God allowed Satan to try to prove Job only worshiped and served God because of the Favor and Blessings he had received.  Satan took the pen and wrote the book of Job's life in which he stripped him of everything he had, except his life.  Satan thinks he can write in our books, but he doesn't know that we know the outcome will always be in our favor when we give God our worship, praise and thanksgiving.

Brother Adrian Sanford takes us beyond the act of Jesus Healing the 10 lepers.  When the one realized he was being healed as he ran to tell the Priests, he stopped and turned back to give thanks and praise to God and to Jesus for what He had done.  This act caused Jesus to respond, "And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole."Leprosy often rotted the fingers, toes, ears and flesh off it's victims, but Jesus made him "whole".  His body was restored as it was BEFORE the disease claimed him.Healing of the flesh always leaves a scar.  Being whole is like it never happened.  Never fail to give thanks to God and to give Him Glory for his healing.  It will take you to a dimension beyond the healing into that of a Miracle.

Brother Adrian Sanford brings the message of Expecting that which should not yet be.

He knows you.  He made you.  He created the plan for your life before he formed you.  One thing for certain; He will never forget you.

Each of us has within, the voice of repentance.  The voice within that draws us to the realization that something our flesh has done is not in line with the Will of God.Herod heard this voice.  It was named John. When John was preaching repentance in the wilderness, Herod would go and listen to him. When the Chief Priests and Pharisees brought Jesus to Herod, Herod was eager to speak with him. The Voice of Repentance was dealing with him.

Our Lord gave us talents, what shall we do with them?
