DETERMINATION TRUMPS WEAKNESS
Well, there you go again, preacher; you sound more like Tony Robbins than you are the apostle Paul today. Well, I beg your pardon, but the truth be known, I sound more like Solomon, "the wisest man who ever lived."
You know how I know that because Solomon warns us about being lazy and slothful in the book of Proverbs. If we stay in that condition, we will starve to death.
Solomon told us in proverbs 6:6 go to the ant thou sluggard and consider her ways and be wise.
v.7, which having no guide overseer or ruler
v,8 provides her meat in the summer,
And gathers her food in the harvest.
v.9 how long will you sleep or sluggard?
When will you arise out of sleep?
v.10 yet a little sleep, a little slumber,
A little folding of the hands to sleep:
v.11 so shall your poverty come as one that travels,
And you're want as an armed man.
So you see, Solomon was around a long time before Tony Robbins or any other promotional business that you may see.
So let me say it again:
Determination trumps weakness.
Consider the weakness Jesus was in when he faced the cross for a moment. No one in history has ever been where Jesus was at that moment. He literally carried the weight of the world on his shoulders.
Hebrews 12:2 tells us how he overcame his weakness and the abuse that had come to him both soul and body and won the prize.
First of all, he was determined to fulfill his heavenly father's will.
To do that, the scripture tells us that he set the joy before him as a target.
When you have a purpose and set the goals, you want to hit. Then invite God into the process, and Joy will take you through.

THE HAPPIEST YOU IS YOUR BEST GIFT
When the apostle Paul was dealing with the gifts of the spirit, he said, "we should use our best gift." There has been a fair amount of discussion on the best gift, and let me see if I can help you out today on that question.
The scriptures tell us in Proverbs 17:23 that a merry heart does good like medicine.
Then Jesus tells us in Matthew 25:23 that the highest gift that he could give us for being faithful to our call and purpose is what is referred to as the "joy of the Lord."
It's my opinion the best gift you can give someone else is a happy you because the best gift you can give yourself is the joy of the Lord which brings a healthy soul, body, and spirit.
When you are grumpy sour, and mean, you affect everyone around you. So it is when you are happy and joyful, the whole room is filled with the spirit you carry.
If you keep yourself happy in the joy of the Lord, you're able to bring others along with you. So, rejoice and be glad for the Lord thy God is with you and will never leave.

THE SUSPECT IS IDENTIFIED AS A SON
If someone was to ask me what the greatest weakness in the body of Christ is today, my answer might be surprising. Much of our church history, in modern times, is focused on social and moral sins that keep us from going forward with God. For me not to agree to that premise draws a fair amount of criticism, claiming I favor those sins, which is not valid.
The Church has almost made a cottage industry by identifying all the things you can't or can do. As a young Christian, I knew exactly what I couldn't do, and it was some time before I knew what I could do as a Spirit-filled redeemed man.
So my answer to the question why is the Church is spiritually retarded when by now, 2000 years later, we should be dominating every culture on the earth.
It's a one-word answer.
Identification.
In general, the body of Christ does not know who they are in Christ and that they are sons of the most high God with all privileges in rights.
When the spiritual infants grow up and begin to live like adult sons in the kingdom, we will see the Church in its rightful position on the earth. We will shape history for the ages to come when that takes place.

GOD'S FULL-COURT PRESS
My basketball days are long behind me, and most memories of those few times I played have faded. I suppose my height had something to do with not being interested in basketball. Baseball was more my game, and I remember the summer leagues I was in; what fun.
Then came my boys when they played on the basketball team in their school days. I made a lousy fan because I can't stand losing. As long as we were ahead in those games, I was a happy camper.
So in those days, I learned what a full-court press was. That's when the team all get together in their positions, push down, and make a basket. At least, that's my memory of it.
I woke up in the middle of last night, and God dropped these words in my heart; God's full-court press.
Then the Holy Spirit began to blow revelation on those few words, and I could hear the spirit of God telling me God has a plan for the situation we're in, and we're going to score.
Big Time.
I'm sure you know God doesn't watch the news to see what he will do next, like some of us. You might say he has his finger on the scale and knows the outcome.
So encourage yourself in the lord and know that the things you hear from the lips of people with no spiritual source are all empty and foolish.
Today you need to hear this scripture quoted one more time;
Trust in the lord with all of your heart, lean not unto your understanding in all your ways, acknowledge him, and he will direct your path.
So there you go, it's a done deal.

COME HELL OR HIGHWATER
When the spirit of God dropped that on my heart today, all I could say was, father, you have a sense of humor. What in the world am I going to do with that?
As usual, the Holy Spirit always has a plan that takes a little time to reveal itself.
So it was long before it came tumbling into my mind, and we did a great program around perseverance, determination, never giving up, and a dozen other things that would have God's fingerprints all over it.
When someone would say, "come to hell or Highwater," we would immediately know that they intend not to let anything stop them from reaching their intended goal.
That sounds like what Jesus meant when he said, 'love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and all I saw all that I might and I neighbor as thy self.'
So our confession today is this, no matter what comes our way, despite all the opposition, the shortcomings, and the lack of funds or strengths, we will serve the lord, come hell or Highwater.

YOU ARE THE GLOVE ON GOD'S HAND
Our spirit of generosity is among the many differences between us as a nation and the other nations of the world. We have long been known as the most generous givers to needy causes at home and abroad, and we have fed countries and defended nations.
Even in the time when war swept around the world and destroyed so many nations. When it was over, we were the ones that restored those nations.
Many inquiries have been made, and so many in-depth studies have been recorded trying to find the key or secret behind the American people being so generous. The secret is straightforward, and to those who understand spiritual principles, it is easy to find. We are generous and love to give because our heavenly father is generous, and we are made in his image.
Like father like son and daughter.
The spirit of generosity for those who understand the heart of God that is in them is released in more than just money and things. When the Red Cross calls for volunteers after a disaster or hurricane, thousands of American citizens travel far and wide from their homes to give their time to someone in need.
The spirit of Christ is the spirit of giving. He gave himself as a sacrifice for us, and we are like him. In all reality, we are the glove on the hand of God that reaches out to those in need.
When we shake someone's hand and greet or lay that same hand on someone's head and heal them, it is God's hand in our gloves doing the work.
When Jesus prayed in John 17, we would be one with him in the same way that he and God the father are one. The results are a Christian people and a Christian nation with the same loving generosity God the father had when he gave Jesus to us as a savior.
John 3:16 rings out loud and clear in this holiday season that we are entering into; for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believe it's on him should not perish but have everlasting life,
For God's sake, not his son into the world to condemn the world but that the world through him might be saved.
Be that glove to someone today.

LIMITLESS GRACE
THERE ARE NO LIMITS TO THE POWER OF GOD THAT ENABLES US TO BE LOVED.
When I think of the Grace of God, I instantly hear the old church song: "Grace, Grace, gods grace, grace that is greater than all my sins."
Within the last 30 years, controversy has been brewing in the body of Christ concerning what they call the Grace message. Several voices have been raised worldwide that teach us about Grace beyond the limits of our traditional theology. Or at least the denominational world that we were raised in.
In the season of my life, I am in, I have come to the conclusion that many of my teachers didn't have the whole story when it comes to some of the doctrines they were teaching.
However, to be fair to them and us, we can only walk in the light we have and be judged by that same light. But if that's where we stay, we will miss what God is revealing today to the body of Christ. And one of the subjects he is unfolding is the understanding of limitless Grace.
The apostle Paul seemed to have a pretty good grasp of Grace when he told us that all things were lawful, but not all things were expedient. Unfortunately, that revelation is somewhat cloudy to us in this generation.
The little bit that I understand about that verse is that God does not judge us on the same scale; we judge ourselves, especially in the religious setting. As a young boy in the Pentecostal movement, I could've gone to hell for going to the movies or the Pool hall. To say that now seems laughable, but it was serious business in the small theological world that we lived in.
So today, I embrace the Grace of God that gives me the power from heaven to understand and accept his love. And when I know his love, I will never be involved in the things that displease him. To me, that's the only safety barrier that I need to walk out his will in this life. The only law that you cannot break is the law of love.
God loved us first, and he will love us always.

STEADY EDDIE- FAITH FOR ALL SEASONS
Among my favorite stories of fables and myths from our childhood is the one about the tortoise and the hare. As the story goes, the hare, or as you may say, the rabbit, was speedy and always witty. The second character in this fable is a turtle, slow and boring. One day they decided to have a race to see who was the fastest one in town.
Everybody laughed at the turtle even entering the race, let alone thinking that he could win this one. On the other hand, the rabbit was bragging about his incredible speed and taking congratulations even before the race began.
On the day of the race, when the gun went off, the rabbit zipped off over the horizon before the turtle could even get out of his shell. Well, if you remember the story, you already know the outcome. The turtle won the rabbit lost. How in the world could that happen?
I'll tell you exactly how it happened because I see it daily in the Christian world. In all reality, the rabbit in this fable goofed off and took time off play the fool. Meanwhile, the turtle kept plotting one step at a time; he never slowed down and never quit.
He's what we call "Steady Eddie."
I have watched it for years in the church and throughout the body of Christ, where those that should have won the race have lost it because they were wasting time. They didn't achieve their goal and won the race because they were slow or without scale and talent. The plain fact is they didn't get there because they took too many detours along the way.
It seems they have the attitude that God will take care of it no matter what they do.
Well, here's a news flash for you. God already took care of it on the cross and resurrection, handed the keys to you, and said go to work.
If there ever was a day that we needed steady Eddies in the church and our national leadership teams, we need them today. Those that keep plotting one step at a time until the race is won and the battle is over.
I believe we will win in our spiritual conquest and national domination if we are the "Steady Eddies of our day."

IS SALVATION ENOUGH? OR IS THERE MORE?
I can still hear my mother hollering at me as I reached for the cookie jar just before dinner. "George, stay out of the cookies; it will ruin your dinner."
To be honest with you, that really didn't make any sense to me, and I figured I was getting a head start on dinner with this wonderful cookie in my hand. Of course, I was too young to understand the chemistry of the body and the makeup of the system that keeps us alive. All I knew was that I saw that cookie and wanted it.
Strange as it may seem, just the other night, while I was heading for the crackers, I heard my wife say, George, dinner is just about ready; don't be nibbling. So there's something within us that desires to be satisfied with small things or the emergency application of something to satisfy a pain or hunger.
By now, I understand the need for nutrition and a well-balanced meal, and if I satisfy myself with a cookie, I won't have the desire to sit down at a full dinner.
Over the last 65 years of active ministry, I have prayed with multiple thousands of people that have come to the altar or raised their hands, indicating they wanted to receive Jesus as their savior. We rejoice in the number of conversions, yet we wonder where many disappeared after they accepted Jesus.
I will not second-guess the Holy Spirit on these occasions or judge those who have received Jesus by their outward actions. However, I am suspicious that many have taken Jesus as a cookie instead of a full meal. The experience of being saved has satisfied them enough to where they find no need to go any further into the kingdom of God.
This breaks my heart because I know the potential in each person who comes to Christ.
I am convinced that salvation is essential for everything we do, but if that's where you stop, you will miss the purpose of salvation, and that is that we might become in the fall likeness of Jesus Christ.
If you may be at that point of discovery, ask the Holy Spirit to take you into the mysteries that lay ahead. The mysteries of Christ. The mysteries of godliness. If you follow the Holy Spirit into this wonderful journey, you will be fulfilled in the purpose God has planned for you.

DON'T WORRY - BE HAPPY
Today I would like to interest you in some health tips. Most of our time together has to do with our spiritual walk. However, today I want to talk about your health and well-being, something that will give you long life. And while I'm at it, I will undoubtedly throw in a few spiritual principles along the way.
There's a catchy phrase IN a famous movie when the hero of the movie says," don't worry about it." Our Australian friends down under have a catchy phrase that says, "no worries." Hidden beneath these simple statements is a profound principle of life and health that God has woven within the fabric of our human DNA.
Worry, anxiety, frustration, and fear belong to the same family. In reality, these are commands from the Lord. Why would he command us not to have any anxieties about anything? Well, let me ask you a question. Why would your doctor tell you to go home and not worry anymore about your situation? Take two aspirins and a nap, and you'll feel better.
Ok, you get the point.
Our heavenly father is our divine doctor telling us this is how your body operates; if you worry, you will be in trouble physically.
Why is that?
Well, honestly, it's just the way he made us. It makes just as much sense to leave the oil out of our engine when we go for a ride in our automobile. Then we asked what had happened, and I didn't think that oil was necessary.
However, the maker of that automobile and the engine said it was necessary and gave instructions to keep it full and fresh every time you went for a drive.
And so is when our heavenly father says to have no anxieties or worries about anything. This command is not a heaven or hell issue, but if you break it, you may get there sooner than you think or even would like to.
So today I will give you a tip. DON'T WORRY - BE HAPPY
