Total Surrender

Since Wednesday night I've been thinking how awesome it would be if we all could live in that place of total surrender we saw all the time.Sometimes even if we dont mean for it to things get in the way of that happening.My prayer for myself and our church is that we constantly press our way into God's prescence by being willing to totally surrender to Him and His Holy Spirit.If we do we can change our world.I know we have it in us because I have sensed God prescence in our church more than any I have before.Take care and see ya Sunday

Do I Look 42?

Hey everybody.Yep thats right its my birthday.As a gift to me if you dont mind please just leave a comment letting me know you read my blog.I know some who do but us bloggers are always curious about how many people we make laugh,touch their heart,or encourage.If you dont want to thats fine too.I still love ya!Take care and see ya soon.

Just Being Real

Hey everybody.After getting feedback from people I respect I have decided to go ahead with the blog I mentioned in my last post but have decided to shorten title to "Bind The Strongman".First go to www.blogger.com.In order to long onto blog and make your own post enter user name of BindTheStrongman@reborn.com and use password 0123nvmc.For right now I only ask two things.First do not use anyone's proper name including your own.I think anonymity will allow people to be more open and real in sharing their struggles.Secondly I would say while being real also be aware there might be post that you may find offensive.Be forewarned.For any youth who read my blog please ask for your parents consent before viewing "Bind The Strongman"My only reason for doing this is not to air dirty laundry but allow others to pray for us and our real struggles.I pray healing will come to each and every one of you.I love you and God bless.

Just Cant Wait

Hey everybody.Sorry it's been so long since last post.Computer issues again.Have a lot going on in my spirit I'd like to talk about just havent been able to.I had impressed on me the idea of setting up a blog called "Binding the Strongman"where people could go to post those struggles they want to share so we could be in prayer and intercession for one another.Tell me what you think.Looking forward to church tomorrow with the water baptism,state of the church address, and Jason Crabb.I really appreciate his ministry because he is real with you and totally sold out for Jesus.That's my prayer for all of us including myself.Love everybody and see you tomorrow

What I Got for Christmas This Year

Hey everybody.I received an unexpected gift for Christmas this year.Someone tonight at church tonight came up to me and told me something on my blog had ministered to them.I cant tell you how much that meant to me.My whole point of doing this in the first place was so you could get to know me a little better but more importantly to reach out and touch someone's heart or encourage them.To know that has happened just makes me feel so honored.I love you my church family.Talk to you later.

The true meaning of Christmas

This time of year its real easy to forget what Christmas is all about.To me what we saw Wednesday night is what Christmas is about.People willing to lay down pretenses and come together as a family and to invite others to join that family.Children with wide eyed wonderment and joy in their hearts.But most of all I do believe the one whose birthday we were celebrating was right there in our midst and I cant begin tell you how much that means to me.I love all of you and wish you the happiest and most joyful Christmas.

This is for my friend

This is my friend Tammy's ministry team "Wings of Worship".They inspire me each and every time I see them perform.Thanks for being my friend.This is for you.

They Grow Up So Fast

This is my beautiful daughter.I am so proud of her.She's not perfect but she does have a heart for God.Just like her daddy and momma.

Can you please hold?

Hey everyone.Hope you havent forgot about me.We've been having computer problems and havent been able to blog regularly.Hope they we be resolved soon because I miss blogging.God's been speaking a lot to my heart that I want to share.Well take care and when I get back to regular blogging you all will be the first to know.
