They Call Good Evil & Evil Good

Isaiah 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

All I hear @ work is Obama is bringing change. Yeah he is bringing change. But not the change we want. (well maybe, that means the one who died for me will be returning soon...very soon! Praise the Lord!!! Hallelujah!!!!) I can not believe that there are Christians falling for this. Have they read the Bible? Are they receiving anointed preaching? But then I remember the word tells us...

Matthew 24:23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. 24For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. 25Behold, I have told you before.

This is a sad time to see christian following something that is not of God. It is sad to know they must not be receiving anointed preaching, they are not encouraged to read, pray & fast. We need to have a daily relationship w/ Christ. We are living in a day were sin is everywhere. We have to check ourselves daily to make sure we are on the straight & narrow.

Matthew 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. 15Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Everything may look good for a few months, a year, maybe a little longer but destruction will come.

I am keeping my eyes set on the eastern sky because There Will Be A Day






Ephesians 6:13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

Not About Us

I just purchased the new CD from Joni Lamb & The Daystar Singers...Begin Again. I love the song Begin Again. Sunday night Charlotte preached a great message about new beginnings. It was a great message. Then I get this CD the next day in the mail. It was cool. Some of the words are....

You can begin again...You can believe..You can be healed...You can be set free again..For God is here he will make away....The best is yet to come for me

I really love the words to the song. The best is yet to come for me. I know I am walking in a newness w/ God & I am loving it.

My kids really love the song Not About Us. I am so glad they love this song. It gave me the opportunity to tell them it is all about JESUS. The world is so focused on themselves. What can I do for myself today. How will this benefit me. I was able to tell them everything you do & say should be for the glory of God. When you put God first he will take care of you.


I was not able to find Joni Lamb & The Daystar Singers on You Tube. So I am posting City of Refuge Choir.

Greater Anointing

Had another AMAZING weekend. Every service was filled w/ the presence of God. God is moving in a greater way. I am so excited to see what God has in store everyday. God is opening up doors everyday for us tell of his amazing love. I can see it on my job. People are asking for prayer, & just asking about God. I can not wait to see what God is going to do in their lives. I believe they all will be saved. God's word tells us:

1 Corinthians 3:6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase

It does not matter if you have planted or watered. Give God the praise for what he is doing.

Our Sunday night service was great. The power fell in a mighty way. Jump in God is pouring out a greater anointing. He is really showing his power upon this earth.
I can not wait to see the lame walk, the blind see, the deaf hear, & the dead raised. I believe I am going to see all of this. I love to hear of the great miracles God has done. But I want to see them. I believe I will.

Jump in! Don't be left behind.

Come Up Higher!

We serve a great God.
This past weekend I heard 4 different messages all touching on the same thing. SIN. Getting the sin out of your life so you can have a greater walk w/ God. Last night sermons was just the next step. Cathy Saunders preached a great message. Come up higher! Through the entire message the Devil kept trying to get me to focus on things going on in my life. Then I heard her say. Stop thinking about you problems. Go up higher! I was like that is me! Devil I rebuke you in the name of Jesus! I am going up higher! Every since then I have not thought about my problems. I have felt the spirit of the Lord. What is funny is nobody knew this. Nobody knew what I was praying for. I received a text message from my sister-in-law. I never receive text messages from her. It said..Have a beautiful & amazing day basking in his presence. It took me back for a second. I read it a couple of times. I was like did that just say what I thought it said. I am @ work so I told the girl sitting next to me I was taking an early break. I went & found some privacy & just Praised the Lord. Did not ask for anything. Just thanked him for his wonderful move. Thanked him for how good he has been. It was a great 15 minute break.

God is doing great things in our ministry. I don't want to miss it. In our Saturday evening service God told that he would lay hands on someones eyes & they would be opened, He would lay hands on someone in a wheelchair & they would get up & walk. I don't want to miss it. I want to see their face when God preforms a great miracle in their life. I want to hear them tell their testimony. I can not wait. I feel like a little kid the night before Christmas.

We need to pray for a greater move of God. But to receive that we do have to examine our walk daily. We need to make sure we are moving in his will. The Devil is out to steal, kill & destroy.
Make sure you never miss a church service. You could miss a great miracle. You could miss your miracle. Walk everyday in his will. He could use you to pray for someone when you are about your day. God is doing a greater work in the last days. Get ready to be a willing vessel.

Evaluate Your Walk

I love to hear Preachers preach against sin. So many today are just preaching feel good messages. They are up there thinking I can't preach against adultery that one will get offended & I will lose that offering. I can't preach against smoking. I might lose that one. If God is in the sermon. It will be a blessing. They may leave the church that day upset. But God will deal w/ them. They will came back weeping & asking for prayer. Wanting great deliverance. When the sermon comes from God there is no wrong.

I heard 4 different sermons this weekend. All touched on sin. I went home thanking God there are still people out there that care about our souls. They don't care about filling up seats or how much the offering was. They care that I am on the right road. When they follow the will of God every need will be met.

That is the main reason why I love my church so much. Even when I was on the wrong road. They made sure they helped me back on the right path. God has blessed me with such anointed preachers. I know when the word is brought forth I know it is from God.

We need to pray that we are involved in the right ministry. There are wolves in sheep's clothing out there to destroy our souls. Pray & ask God where he wants you. He will lead you there.

Matthew 7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. 15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

Friday Night Miracle Service

I went to see my brother & sister-in-law sing last night @ Community Family Church. Their group is called Momentum Praise & Worship Team. They are from Solid Rock South. They did an amazing job. Rev Bill Campbell was also preaching. He has written the book The Amazing Faith That Works. That might be where I have picked up the word amazing. I have read the book 3 times.

I wish I had a video. They did a great job. You could really feel the presence of the Lord. Rev Campbell preached a great word from

Mark 6:1 And he went out from thence, and came into his own country; and his disciples follow him. 2 And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands? 3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him. 4 But Jesus, said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house. 5 And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them. 6 And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went round about the villages, teaching.

I do not want to be found w/ unbelief I want God to find me w/ Amazing Faith. Faith that can move mountains.

He ended the sermon w/ this scripture:
Mark 11:22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.

It was a great night.

Have amazing faith so you can run through a troop & leap over a wall.

Not just a Mid-Week Service

If you have ever said I will just stay home & relax it is just the mid-week service. Well then you are missing a great word from God.

If you miss a mid-week service @ The Gabbard Tabernacle you are missing a great word from God. Rob Diesman preached an amazing sermon last night. I know I use the word amazing a lot. But God has just been shocking me w/ his presence, & the word he is bringing forth.

Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you. 10 But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked opportunity. 11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. 12 I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. 13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

What really jumped out @ me was...in whatever state I am, therewith be content. People know days are so demanding. We are always running. Trying to get the next best thing. I have really been trying to teach my children. God will supply all of your needs. We don't have to have all the new gadgets. We just need to make sure we have God moving in our lives. When we have that we have everything.

My sister Candi sang last night. My sister-in-law Sondra & our friend Felicia backed her up. They sang I've got a reason to Praise the Lord. As soon as Rob Gabbard's fingers hit those keys & Daniel started playing the drums you could feel the spirit of God. She did an amazing job. I am very proud of her. They all did a great job.

We did not tape our service. But here is Hezekiah Walker
