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,

PT

Did You Know?

You are awesome?! That you were created to be YOU! Be authentic. There are no repeats. You can't get a second chance of re-doing everything over! Be you!  I just felt like encouraging you to do that, BE YOU!

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
