ANTI-GOD'S VOICES WILL BE SILENCE
A few days ago, we were babysitting one of my granddaughters, about three years old. Somewhere in the morning, she began singing a little song she had heard on cartoons. It was a catchy tune, something that was familiar to me, so I sang it with her. The bad news is that I couldn't get that silly song out of my mind for the rest of the day. As the saying goes, it was driving me crazy.
Those voices that get into your head come from many different sources. And when they get there, it seems impossible to get them out.
As you know, my name is George. If your name is not George, you don't understand how it feels to have the kids at school sing the song to you, "Georgie Porgie pudding pie."
Little Georgie tried to kiss the girl in that silly children's song, then she cried. Then, when the boys came out to play Little George, he ran away.
No, you don't have to pray for me. I am long past that particular challenge, but it taught me that words can hurt and stay with you for a long time.
The anti-God voices can come through friends and family, the media, or your thinking. The only remedy I've ever found that works against the anti-God voices you may hear is the word of God.
The scriptures tell us if we hid the word in our hearts, we would not sin against God. The simple description of sin is missing God's mark or target for you in life.
When those voices come, do what Jesus did in his temptation in the wilderness.
Answer the enemy with God's word, and he will flee from you.

PRAYER-THE HOUR OF THE CHANGE THE WORLD
Unfortunately, many people hear the word work when we mention prayer in our churches. I suppose the reasoning is I thought this gospel was free; why should I have to work for it? Prayer could be at the top of the most misunderstood names in the Christian dictionary.
What exactly is prayer? The Scriptures tell us that all perfect things come from the Father above, where there is no changing because what He gives us is good. With that scripture in mind, I conclude that God invented prayer because it's good for us and our future generations.
First of all, let me tell you that prayer is not. Prayer is not a duty, and it is not an obligation, and it is not drudgery. God will not curse you if you don't pray, and the roof won't fall on your head. I bring this up because I've been told that more than once in my youth.
What is prayer? First, prayers are a privilege; something is given to us that has eternal value. But most of all, prayer is our entrance to the throne of God, our heavenly Father, where we can spend time with our best friend. Everything in that prayer chamber is vital to our lives and future generations.
Jesus asked his disciples could you not just wait with me or pray with me for one hour?. He did this during his garden travail and needed their backup. So add to why we pray, intercession, and back up our brothers and sisters and their journey.
How about one-hour, folks, OK?

THE KEY TO SPIRITUAL STRENGTH
Among the many things we learn very early on is that if we don't eat, we become weak. In this season of my life, my wife and I are enjoying our seven young grandchildren, ages 1 to 7. We also have the privilege of being Babysitters Central.
It's an interesting observation about young children; even though they ate at home just before coming to our house, they still seem hungry.
I've come to the conclusion that there must be something special about Mimi's pancakes that they have a hunger for. So they rub their little bellies and say Meet me. I'm hungry, and can I have some pancakes?
One of the first things I noticed about young converts is their hunger for the word of God and church in Christian Fellowship. In their former life, they eat all kinds of physical and spiritual food. The food they ate did not satisfy them, so they found satisfaction when they came to Christ.
The word of God, as we call the Bible, can satisfy the spirit that God is placed within each of us. However, we need to remember that the written word of God is a doorway into an active lifestyle of fellowship with God himself.
If all you do is read the Bible and memorize scriptures and be able to win all the contests at your local church scripture fest, you're missing the point.
The written word is a seed that is planted in our store that should grow into a relationship with the father in his personally.
That relationship is not reserved for some future date "when we all get to Heaven or how happy we will be."
That relationship is a daily experience that brings us his joy and strength.

HIDDEN BUT NOT HIDDEN
Here's a thought for you to chew on today while you're meditating upon the good things of God. Colossians three opens up the thought of being crucified with Christ, risen with Christ, and raining and ruling with Christ.
The third verse of that chapter talks about being hidden in Christ with God. What could it mean to be hidden in Christ? I recall a child playing hide and seek, and someone would bury their face and count to 50, and all the other kids would find a place to hide. If you were clever, you could fool everybody, and nobody would ever find you.
We had a birthday party for one of my sons, and they played hide and seek. One young man went into the backyard, claimed a tree, and spent the entire party in the tree. He was so hidden everybody thought he had gone home.
Could we become so hidden in Christ that the devil can't find us or even see who we are? Every time we show up, he sees Jesus show up, and he always knows how that works for him, which is not good.
No, if you're playing hide and seek at that children's game and you make noises, you will be found. So it is when we're hidden in Christ that if we make noises like an unredeemed person and have a language that reveals our fears instead of our faith, Satan will find us.
It's my understanding if you can keep your mouth closed until you learn to talk, how Jesus talks, you can stay hidden and safe in his protection.

AFTER THE VICTORY LEARN TO GOVERN
If you're a student of the old testament, would you be if you have read it, you will notice the children of Israel had a hard time staying faithful to God's law.
Just about the time they had victory won a battle and conquered a nation, they would blow it by starting to worship other gods.
What is it about human nature that has a hard time walking in a straight line and staying true to what they know to be good for them? We could call that sinful nature, and that rebel in our heart wants to do its own thing.
When we get our feet out of the mud of sin or bondage, we start playing in it again for some crazy reason.
Jesus said when the house is swept and clean, and you don't occupy it, spirits worse than what you kicked out will return.
Now that's a loose translation of that verse, but it means you need to learn how to keep yourself healthy spiritually after being delivered from sin in bondage.
To do that, we must maintain a healthy spiritual diet with the word of God, good fellowship, and faithful prayer life.
I encourage you today to keep your hands on the wheel. Let God put his hands over you; he will keep you steady and solid in your journey.

TAKE THAT HEAVENLY WALKABOUT
When I was a teenager, my father purchased 40 acres south of Oregon City and developed a small farm with cows and horses. When you have animals, you need a fence, and this particular fence is electric.
Guess who was called upon to check the fence when it stopped working? You guessed it me. "George, check the fence out; somethings not working," and off I go into the dark. Summer, winter, wind rain, and snow, young George was off to check the fence out around the 40 acres.
By the time I was ready for marriage and time to leave the farm. I knew every square inch of that 40 acres because I did a walkabout 1000 times.
When I was home, Dad bought an extra 5 acres next to the 40 with a barn somewhere in that time. You'd be right if you knew who helped put all the hay up every year into that barn. I tell you, I knew every square inch of that barn because I had surveyed it.
God has given you a kingdom to watch over, survey, and walkabout. It is your job to know every corner, every fence post, and all the cattle in between. You have territory that God has given you rights to rule in. It's time to walk about in it, find out what's out there and begin to use it for the kingdom and the purposes God has given you.

DATES AND TIMES THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Of all the weddings I have performed, we never started on time. They tell me the English have a tradition of always being 10 minutes late to the bride's wedding. However, even though all the weddings I have performed have been a little late in starting, they always happened because the couples kept a date they couldn't miss.
I have had many jobs as a laborer in the workforce. I have an appointment to meet the labor manager for hot carriers and labor union of Portland. I was only 22 but had enough sense and training to show up on time. When I showed up on time, he gave me a date to show up for work. When I showed up for work, I made three times what my brother-in-law made on his job.
I kept the time and date and was rewarded for it abundantly.
What is God saying about you and your spiritual work concerning some times and dates? Is there something that you need to do that has a particular place to be in a time to go there?
The Scriptures Tell us today is the day of salvation. There's never any reason to wait to make those decisions to obey God's purpose in your life. You can do something today about the desires that are in your spirit. If you take a step forward, God will provide the rest of the way you can walk on.

IT'S RESURRECTION DAY-HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DR. GEORGE WATKINS
Today we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ, our Savior and lord. As we do, we remember the significance of this great occasion, which brought a conclusion, the old covenant, and ushered in the new covenant.
When Jesus rose from the dead, it sealed the prophecies of old and became proof of what God had promised to mankind, a savior that took away the sins of the world. Just think about the magnitude of that statement; one man could reverse the curse that one man brought to the earth. Adam brought it, and Jesus took it away. That's the foundational story of this great Resurrection Day that we celebrate.
When I had my resurrection day 73 years ago, we were also celebrating the resurrection of Jesus on that same day. As I sat, listening to the story of the resurrection of Jesus with my mother in Brean Chapel, I was not concerned about the whole world needing Jesus, but I knew I needed him. That night, I experienced salvation, or by the description that Jesus gave Nicodemus, "to be born again."
That night the living Christ presented himself as my Savior and the one to cleanse me from my sin nature. I had yet to learn the theological descriptions of what took place. Now I know he moved in to live there permanently. Seven Decades later, he is as faithful and precious as the first day I experienced his love.
That's why I celebrate this day as a "Happy birthday George Watkins."

THE POWER OF THE SEATBELT
The crackle of the loudspeaker comes on, and the captain announces departure. "Ladies and gentlemen, we are preparing for takeoff. Will everyone please take their seat and fasten your seatbelts." Then here comes the seatbelt cops, otherwise known as the stewardess.
After catching a few of those not paying attention, they tell us the plane can only depart once you fasten your seatbelt, sir.
Seeing that I was born long before the seatbelt became mandatory, it took me some time to get used to buckling up. As a matter of fact, all the cars that I have before 1962 are not required seatbelts. We still have fond memories of all five of us in the seat of our 56 Ford F 100 with not a seatbelt around.
Yes, I know that was then this is now, and I'm not totally ignorant of the purpose of the seatbelt. It does save lives.
So today, I am telling you to fasten your seatbelt and prepare for takeoff. And according to the principles of the Scriptures and the kingdom of God, certain things don't take off unless we are united in faith and purpose.
Just like the passenger airplane can only take off once everybody is buckled in, so it is in our journey together; certain things will only happen once we buckle up and prepare for takeoff.
Some of the buckle-up involves prayer meditation in the word, loving one another, cleansing our hearts from unforgiveness, etc.
In this analogy, the seatbelt cop is the Holy Ghost that comes along and reminds us to put our seatbelts on for safety and in preparation for takeoff.
Unfortunately, some of us on this journey have yet to learn why we're on the airplane and are just along for the ride. Thank God the pilot knows where we're going and what it takes to get us there.
The enemy has fired a shot across our bow with intention of taking us down.
The response I am hearing from the body of Christ is a multitude of clicks as the seatbelts are being fastened. We are going into battle with the intention of winning complete victory.

IF SATAN IS DEFEATED, WHERE DO BAD THINGS COME FROM?
After decades of ministry and counseling a multitude of people, the above statement may be the most repetitive one I've heard.
When bad things happen to good people, we scratch our heads and ask how that could happen. The next thing we do is try to figure out who to blame.
For the unlearned ones, they blame God because the church has told them God is in control of everything. When in reality, that is not the case.
How thin is it that those who seem to be doing everything right suddenly have disasters come upon them? Interestingly enough, we see the same question in the life of Jesus when they ask him who sinned that this boy is blind?
The Scriptures tell us that Jesus took all the power away from Satan and gave it to the believer. So how often does Satan take advantage of the believer and bring on such chaos and trouble?
The answer is straightforward compared to the complex system that it represents.
Satan can take advantage of us because he lives in the system and knows how it operates. The system we're talking about is seedtime and harvest, and the Bible tells us it will function until the end of Time.
What seems to be hidden to many people is that everything you do and say is a seed you plant for the future. Jesus said that if you sow to the wind, you will reap a whirlwind. But if you sow to the spirit, you will reap life everlasting.
Matthew 13 tells us that the angels are the reapers of the harvest, which means that both good and bad angels will reap the harvest you plant. The most powerful seed you and I can plant is our words.
The most important thing we can remember about our words as seeds. That what we say will come back to us, good or bad. No wonder David said in the psalms, "guard my mouth, Lord, that I might not sin against you."
