The 40 Day Mission

Normally, when the Lord speaks to me and challenges me I always feel led to share it with my congregation. This time was different. As a pastor and visionary it seems simple when the Lord shows you something and complicated as you walk it out. The Lord has always dealt with me about "LOVE!" Yes, at times flesh has risen and anger has set it, but that's not where I am going with this blog entry.

A few months ago he finally gave me the clearest vision yet for this church and my life. I now know the situations leading up to this point why it was crystal clear. I preached it and taught it but now it's becoming REAL to me. The mission He gave me was simple,

Love Real. Love Deep. Love Everyone. Repeat.

The Lord dealt with me about two weeks ago to really stand on these things. Forget the past and press towards the future, but also to deal with people in the eyes and mind of Christ. Simply put, burn for the things He burns for and let your heart break for the things of Christ. Now one could assume this is easy, trust me, it's like praying for patience. Because at the end, they all are one.

I've had to let LOVE cover A LOT. But this verse today has stuck with me,
Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things. Phil. 4:8. 


I sat with some staff members today and we talked about vision for the future and anytime you talk about the future the past mistakes always seem to come up and quickly the Lord spoke to me and I said, "We're not radio stations and we need to quit giving the enemy air time!" That will be turned into a shirt in the next few months when our new line comes out (Bunny Trail....). 


I said all the above to say this. I've challenged myself to get in SHAPE! 
Spirtually
Health Wise
Attitude Wise
Personality Wise
Everything Else In Between


For forty days, and then it will become a life change. 
1) I wake up at 6AM
2) Get Ready
3) Meet in the God room. 
4) Go to my job place and pray over that. 


Just me. This was a challenge the Lord gave me as I press to LOVE more, realer, deeper and SHOW it. Whatever is on the inside overflows. So when you are under pressure and are shaken it will overflow to the outside. Think about that. 


I won't blog much as I take "me" time with the Lord but I encourage us to really dig in to the meaning of Love and ask the Lord to reveal its meaning to you! Have a great night! 


After a very spiritual week in the mountains and the Lord dealing with me about A LOT I now know I want Him more than anything. So this is my journey to fall more in Love with Christ than ever before.

He's still workin' on me.

That old children's church song still rings true today, it's my prayer...

"He's still working on me, to make me what I ought to be....."

You know it. I bet you just started singing it out loud too.  I'm feel so great about what God is doing. I know that I'm still a work in progress and I love it when the devil attacks or shows his ugly head, but it keeps me motivated. I was watching Bishop Jakes and he said, "When the devil kicks ya in the butt it means you're moving ahead!"

Keep your head up and keep moving forward. He has an awesome plan for your life. We will make mistakes but we move forward by His Grace not man's opinions! Keep your head up!

LRLDLER! Motto Of The Church!

HUGE LIFE LESSON

There are so many times in life where you feel defeated and even a failure. Even as a pastor, minister, or whatever else people call me, I get there. Today is one of those days. Every opportunity in life has it's disappointment and moments where everything you do is questioned. Have you been there....?

"I've raised them better then that!"
"I can't believe they did that!"
"I will never speak to them again!"
"After all I've been through, how could you do that to me?"

Have you said that, maybe your situation is different maybe you are in a place where the hurt has been so incredible that you don't even know if you can see the sun rise again or see the light of day. The quickest answer is to go hide under a rock, been there?

As a pastor I face many trials daily. "Did I preach the right message, did I say enough, did I talk too much, was I too loud?" I've been there before and try to remember never to go there. This week has had it's celebrations and mourning moments. I just can't believe that after so many years of being and pastoring people that I still get shocked over things, but I do. I'm human. I know it's a shock but pastors are human! :-)

It's been a weekend where I have stood by several people through good and bad and yet I guess they can respect me when they are going through things but when it's up to them and they need no guidance, not even from God, things seem to just drift and we forget about the people that stood by when no one else would. I've had three major upsets this weekend, actually in one day, my world seems crushed and it seems like it's easier to throw in the towel and quit, but I know so much better than that! I know that God has a place and a position for me, that's why I have to stand in victory and cannot take it personal. People are going to be just that people, they are going to follow flesh "in the name of God!"

I've come to a place in my life where I won't even revisit things that folks have said or things people have done. I call it my "eject" policy. There are times where "NEGATIVITY" will want to creep up and I have to say EJECT. Ha. It works try it.

If I've learned a valuable/monumental lesson today it's this, "Deception Kills Motivation WHich Stunts Your Transformation!" Be up front, be real, and be you!

Good Night,

STIR UP THE GIFT!

Tonight On The Radio! 11PM

Click above to join me on the radio. There is so much going on. I feel like a MAJOR stirring is taking place on the inside of me. So much vision. So much of what God is doing. We had church tonight at our mid week bible study. God was completely in the house. I know things are about to begin to break loose. These are things we've been praying and fasting for - IT'S OUR TIME! I'm telling you REVIVAl - A TRUE REVIVAL - is on the way. God is doing some awesome things and I'm so honored to be a part of it. Remember that we stay DECREASED so HE becomes INCREASED.


Connect With Me! There's POWER in connection!

It's EPIC living!


So much has been going on and it's been great! God is doing so much. I want you to stay connected with me as much as possible and help me get the word out about what God is doing at RCC! Vision is so strong and has been. I've had some things happen to our family and it's just really drawn me closer to Christ.

I was telling someone on the phone the other day that I'm falling in love with Christ all over again. My passion is for souls and to see a generation turned to God. It's been so incredible. I am so excited for a move of God. I'm telling you. I feel a stirring taking place for our church and ministry. I believe that a great outpouring is coming. I'm trying to equip our body to begin to prepare for the MOVE that is coming. So stay connected.

Also you can text REVOLUTION to 86677 to receive updated texts from myself or our staff. It's getting epic. It's time to join the "LOVE REVOLUTION!"

Love Real. Love Deep. Love Everyone. Repeat.

One Love,

Pastor T
