High Premium Living

It's Friday! The weekend is just around the corner. I look forward to seeing everyone this weekend.

I will be finishing the Series "Free To Be Me" this Sunday- Don't miss it.

Matthew 10:31 (King James Version)

Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.

Have you ever heard someone say "I'm worth more than that." What they are saying is I'm more value able than what anyone thinks I might or might not be. In Christ, we are more value able that sparrows and all creatures.

1 Peter 2:9 (King James Version)

But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;

As Christians we are different, not better. When we study His word it insulates us to be able to withstand every assault of the enemy. You need to know that you are royalty. As royalty, there are things we do and do not do. The reason is because we have Christ the King of glory in our life. We are His sons and daughters. We are a royal priest hood. This means when people say things or do things that are opposite, against the will of God in our lives we are not to respond like a peasant would, but with the royalty of God and in the spirit.

Remember you're royalty. If we are to live a High Premium life, we can only achieve this by living for Him and with Him.

God Bless,

Momentum, Motivate, Mirror

It's Wednesday we are half way through the week. Welcome everybody out to our Wednesday Night Bible Study and Fellowship.

Colossians 3:17 (King James Version)

And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

I was reading the other day about an article about a train. It said that a train going only 55 MPH can crash through 5-foot thick steel-reinforced concrete wall without stopping. Then it said if the train started at a stationary position and began to move, it could not even go through an inch thick block in front of the driving wheel.

The reason is momentum. The size of the problem is never the problem, it's the momentum. Without momentum, the tiny problem will hinder you, you won't be able to move forward,not one step. (just like the train - no momentum, not even an inch). With Momentum, the train could go through 5ft. of steel. With momentum in the Spirit (which is the help of the Holy Spirit) you can go through ANYTHING. Life's obstacles, seasons then there are test and trials - come and go. But with the Holy Spirit which is our Momentum you can gow through your 5ft of steel.

You increase your momentum in the Spirit with the Word of God. Romans 10:17 -Faith comes by hearing, and by hearing the Word of God. It's when we read and quote His word over and over that our faith is motivated and our momentum is increased.

Lastly we must never think we have arrived, but know there are greater opportunities for us to grow. We must look in the mirror or our life and see God's reflection in every area of our life.

James 1:23-25 (New Living Translation)

²³ For if you listen to the word and don’t obey, it is like glancing at your face in a mirror. ²⁴ You see yourself, walk away, and forget what you look like. ²⁵ But if you look carefully into the perfect law that sets you free, and if you do what it says and don’t forget what you heard, then God will bless you for doing it.

Today, take the time and evaluate and see if momentum is working in your life. It's never the problem that's the problem, it's the momentum.

God Bless,

Pastor Mark

Don't Do It

WOW! What an awesome Sunday Service we had! 

1 Chronicles 16:22 (King James Version)

Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.

The anointing is endowed power down from the Holy Spirit. When we talk about another Church that is God’s, that is touching God’s anointed. When we talk about those who God placed in Authority that is touching God’s anointed.

When we talk about the affairs of others that are serving God. That is touching God’s anointed.

When we sit and listen to those talk about God’s anointed, then we are in direct disobedience and we are touching God’s anointed.

We need to make sure we are not touching God’s anointed.

We need God’s anointing and His anointed ones to help us and guide us. They have been anointed, appointed, and approved by Him.

Don’t talk about them, pray for them.

Now, God’s prophets are those in 5 fold position.In the old Testament they were called Seers. They spoke into people’s lives and spoke the truth. Today they are ministers speaking His word.

Acts 7:52 (King James Version)Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted

Stephen was the first martyr for Christ. He told the religious crowd that they had disobeyed God’s direct order by harming His prophets.

We do this because of the ignorance of man’s idea that we can talk to them like we talk to everyone else. God is not a man…He is our heavenly caring, sharing Heavenly Father and He demands respect.

Stop stretching my Word thin saith the Lord. Today harden not your hearts. Let my Word be the reason you do what you do and say what you say. This is God's voice and not your voice speaking. Let Christ be the reason for your every move.

If my people which are called by my name will humble themselves and turn from their wicked ways then I will hear from heaven and heal their land.

If we humble ourselves, then God will hear us and heal us.

This is not a hard thing, just a set order so that we will be able to obtain the best in life. Jesus is the Best thing that has ever and will ever happen to us.

Be Contagious, Be Consistent, Be Creative, Be Courageous

God Bless,

Pastor Mark 

 

A Fixed Fight

WoW! It's Friday! The Weekend is here. The Best Is Yet to Come! It's not how you start, but it's how you finish. Many start, but never finish. God has place in every one of us the Spirit of a Finisher. 

1 Timothy 6:12 (King James Version)

Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, where unto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.

In Boxing and other fighting sports sometimes the fights are fixed. This means that the opponents already know who is going to win. In our spiritual walk with Christ, the good fight of faith is already fixed. When we accepted Jesus as our Lord and Savior He had already fixed the fight against the enemy so that we would win in every fight. 

The only way for us to loose is not to follow through on what God has already spoken. All we need to do is speak the Word, not allow any thought that is opposite against the will of God in our life to be spoken. The reason is the fight is fixed. You and I have already won before it even starts. When a someone does something or says something that would cause you to become unfocused on what God has spoken, don't respond what you feel, because remember the fight is fixed all you have to do is speak the Word of God and see the victory. You and I we born to be champions in life.

Today, fight the good fight of faith and see victory in every area of your life. It's a Fixed Fight!

God Bless,

Taking God's Road -The High Road

God is an awesome God! It's Wednesday only 2 more days of work! I welcome all to come out tonight to our Wednesday Service. 

Proverbs 14:12 (King James Version)

There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

In life situations, doors, people, and opportunities come our way. But there is only way one that is right and it is God's way. It can seem at times impossible to hear which way to take, but God has given us the Holy Spirit to help us with the right choice. 

When we don't know what to do we can trace Him where He came through for us before. God told Abraham to sojourn to a place where He did not know where He was going. And Abraham followed God's road in spite of what he felt and what he saw. He knew God's way was only way to obtain good success in life in every area of his life. 

When people come and say things or do things, don't respond with your way, respond with God's way. Jesus knew what to say, because He moved not in the flesh, but in the Spirit. Even in tight situations He could take hold of the situation and respond with a stern, but progressive words that would cause people to turn to God. 

If you are in a situation and need to hear from God, remember it's not always in an audible voice. God told Elijah to step out of the cave and He spoke to Him in a still quite voice. 

Today, take God's road which is the High road in life and see good success in life. 

God Bless,

Pastor Mark 

Sense Realm Evidence

Wow! What an awesome service we hand. God faithful to His Word. The Best is yet to come.

Hebrews 5:14 (King James Version)

But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

When we excepted Jesus as Lord and Savior our Spirit was saved instantaneously, our soul progressively and our body fatalistically. Our soul is made up of our mind, will, and emotions. Here in this passage of scripture is tells us that our senses are exercised to discern both good and evil. This deals with our soul

The mind, will and emotions of man. We must allow God's Word to mature us to the place that we are able to discern good and evil. There is a difference between being good and being godly. Being good is the attempt to please God through our works. But being godly is allowing the character and integrity of Christ to be developed in every area of our life. It's not saying I have done this for so long or I deserve this. We all deserve the best in life, but God has a way to accomplish every goal and vision in our life, we must first allow His Word to develop us so that our senses will be able to discern good and evil. 

God Bless,

Pastor Mark 

Made to Success

Are you ready? Don't forget to bring you friends and families this Sunday @ 9:30 A.M. The best is yet to come. 

Joshua 1:8 (King James Version)

This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

If you were ask what success is, most people would determine success by the sum of all the material and your financial net worth. But to have good success is more than just material things. Good success is predicated upon our obedience of the Word of God. 

Good success is having a healthy mind. A healthy marriage, healthy relationships, children that fear God and have a passion to serve Him. Good success is having peace, being able to sleep without fears. Good success is a life that is lived for Christ.

1 Timothy 6:10 (New Living Translation)

For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. And some people, craving money, have wandered from the true faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows.

God wants us to financially prosper, but it's when we love money more than we love God then we begin to error. True faith is trusting God with every area of our life without regret. Remember He is our Heavenly Father. A father will never hold anything back from their children becomes they want them to have the best in life. So it is with God, He would never ask us to do anything that would not benefit us and the kingdom. 

Today, take time and allow God to reveal His way in your life, so that you can have good success. 

God Bless,

Pastor Mark 

Effective Prayer

Can't wait till Tonight. Don't miss it. It's going to be awesome. 

James 5:16 (King James Version)

Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

When we prayer we intercept what the enemy would like to do. Notice it said of a righteous man or woman. This means people who are in right standing with God. When we come to God we must first Worship and ask Him to forgive our sins. The next step is speaking what His Word states about our situation. 

Elijah prayed the word of God when He prayed for it not to rain. He did not pray what he wanted, but what God wanted. It's always God your will for my life with your way and your method. It's strategy to accomplish the goal that we desire to achieve in life is only predicated upon our obedience of His Word. God only responds to His Word. 

Today, take time and see what happens when you apply His Word into your prayer life. 

God Bless,

Pastor Mark 

Perfected Strength

What an Awesome Service we had Sunday! You don't wont to miss this coming Sunday. It is going to be Off the Chain. 

2 Corinthians 12:9 (King James Version)

And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

God's Strength is made perfect in our weakness. The word perfect means to accomplish and fulfil. If we have a negative attitude, that is a weakness, and God said His strength is made perfect, the ability to fulfil and accomplish what we are not able to do on our own, then when we speak His word we will be able to have an attitude change that will change our altitude in every area of our life. 

The bible states let the week say I'm strong. This does not mean that you are ignoring what you feel, you are stating what you will be. When we say what the Word says about us, we are allowing God's strength to be perfected in our lives. 

Today, say what God has already said you are. Disappointment and discouragement is why people give up and give in. We must speak what God has said in His word about us and our situation in every area of our life. When we do this, who or what that has made us disappointed and or discouraged will be replaced with excitement and joy of what God has already said about us and our situations. 

God Bless,

Pastor Mark  

When Faith Makes Sense

What and awesome week I have had. You don't wont to this coming series. I will be talking about Free to Be Me. 

Joshua 5:13-15 (King James Version)

 ¹³And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries?

 ¹⁴And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my Lord unto his servant?

 ¹⁵And the captain of the LORD's host said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so.

Faith and Sense is not the same thing. It's an antonym. An antonym is two things that seem to contradict one another but in a real sense both are true in their own right. 

Faith makes sense when we get the Revelation of what God is saying. 

The backdrop is God had instructed Joshua that he was to take Jericho. But Joshua was trying to make sense of how this was going to happen. You see Jericho was a city that had walls that surrounded it. These walls were strong enough to hold chariot races on top of them. Joshua was thinking how can we take this city. He had faith in God, make did not have the revelation of who had given him the orders. 

God has the method and strategy to accomplish every goal in our life. When Joshua confronted Jesus-He is the captain of the Lord's army, he ask if He was for him or against him. Jesus replied neither, the reason is Christ never takes sides, He takes over. 

Joshua finally received the revelation of what to do. He realized that when God says something it will happen as long as we follow His will, with His way, and with His wisdom. Then faith will make sense. 

God Bless,

Pastor Mark 

Forward

I'm excited about our Wednesday Night Service tonight. You don't wont to miss it. The Best is yet to Come!

Romans 1:17 (King James Version)

For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

An acronym for faith is Forward Action In Trusting Him. Faith is always moving forward. Faith does not regret or think what if. Faith just moves. Many people have faith failure because it's what they placed there faith in. If your faith in not in God, then your going to have faith failure.

Faith is not God, but it gets us to God. The book of Hebrews states without faith it is impossible to please Him. We must trust that what God has spoken will come to pass. We must place our trust and full assurance in Him. He cannot fail you or me.

Stop right now and reevaluate into where your faith is in. If it's not in God, you will have faith failure.

God Bless,

Pastor Mark

Run the Race

One Year and Counting. We are entering our Second Year. Pastor Veronica and I are excited about what God has done, is doing, and will do. 

We both want to publicly thank everyone of you for all your cards and gifts of love. 

I want to personally thank my wife for life, the queen of my dreams Pastor Veronica for all that she does for me, our family, and for the ministry. She is truly a Proverbs Woman of God. 

Hebrews 12:1 (King James Version)

Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

When a runner gets ready for a run, they will make sure that what they are wearing is as light as possible. The reason is the less they have on, the faster they are able to run. In life things can weigh us down. It can be pass mistakes, pass failures, pass words spoken, but we must lay down every thing that would hinder us from running the race that is set before us. 

You and I were born to be champions. We must start by thinking like champions. Champions go into an event confident and are fully persuaded they will walk out with the win. As Christians the fight is fixed, as long as we continue to speak His Word and place our faith in His Word, what God has spoken will come to pass. 

Today, take the time and run the race that is in front of you. Don't look around you or at what others our doing, but stay in your lane and run with confidence that if God before you who or what can hinder you.

God Bless,

Pastor Mark 

When Winning Makes Sense

WoW! It's Friday and 2 days before our one Year Anniversary for the Church! We welcome all those that can, come out and experience God in a Completely New Level. 

John 10:10 (King James Version)

The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

Tomorrow is Independence Day here in America. We celebrate our freedom and those who have, are, and will continue to fight for the freedom of America. It's not how you start, buts it's how you finish. 

Jesus tells us here He came that we might  have life, and have it more abundantly. The abundant side of life is living life to the fullest. It's enjoying life, not enduring it. It's satan's job to steal, kill, and destroy the hopes and dreams of freedom. But thanks be to God He sent Jesus to redeem us and intercept every plot,ploy, and plans of the enemy. 

Today, take the time and know Jesus won the race for freedom for Man Kind. All we have to do is apply what He said is already ours. The bible states with God all things are possible. There is nothing impossible for you or I to accomplish with we take hold of the freedom Christ released to us on Calvary. 

God Bless,

Pastor Mark 

Legacy

It's Wednesday and I can't wait till service Tonight. It's Encounter Night!

Galatians 6:7 (King James Version)

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

Everything in life we do is a seed. What we speak, our actions, our attitude, our attendance to church, the way we manage our economic status, what we eat, what you say to your spouse and children, are ways we are sowing and leaving a legacy. The bible states what we sow or plant we will reap. The only way to have crop failure of things that we have sown that are unproductive is to speak the Word of God. His Word will never return back void.

Today, take the time and sow seeds that will harvest a legacy. It's not what people do to you that will effect your seed, it's what, how, when, where you respond to the situation. You were born to be champions and the Champion lives in you. Sow your best seed everyday and you will reap a hundred fold as the bible states. This is how you Build a Legacy to Leave a Legacy.

God Bless,

Pastor Mark
