​ Proverbs 20:6 Most people announce that they show kindness, but who can find someone faithful [enough to do it]?

​This verse of scripture seems to describe the times we are living in and this generation: 2 Timothy 3:7 always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

​here we go. Starting year 51. 🙏🏼

……​people want the heart of David while living and acting like Saul. It doesn’t work that way. 

​it’s ok to be sad sometimes. 

​ Luke 2:8-14 Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid. Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger.” And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying: “Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!”

For the rest, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of reverence and is honorable and seemly, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely and lovable, whatever is kind and winsome and gracious, if there is any virtue and excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think on and weigh and take account of these things [fix your minds on them].

​

A Call to Repentance Come, and let us return to the LORD; For He has torn, but He will heal us; He has stricken, but He will bind us up. After two days He will revive us; On the third day He will raise us up, That we may live in His sight. Let us know, Let us pursue the knowledge of the LORD. His going forth is established as the morning; He will come to us like the rain, Like the latter and former rain to the earth.

​ Romans 13:11 Put on Christ And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.

​ Isaiah 46:4 I will be your God throughout your lifetime— until your hair is white with age. I made you, and I will care for you. I will carry you along and save you.

​There is a lot of knowledge nowadays and it seems to be increasing. What we are missing is wisdom. We need to pray for wisdom. 

​there is absolutely nothing as relevant today as the Word of God. Jesus was relevant 10 years ago, He was relevant 50 years ago, He was relevant 2000 years ago and He is more relevant today, more than ever. 

​I think being faithful is important. Whether you have talent or are anointed to do something or acquire a skill, if you’re not faithful with it or faithful in it, not much will happen. Faithfulness .

“God blesses those who are poor and realize their need for him, for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs. God blesses those who mourn, for they will be comforted. God blesses those who are humble, for they will inherit the whole earth. God blesses those who hunger and thirst for justice, for they will be satisfied. God blesses those who are merciful, for they will be shown mercy. God blesses those whose hearts are pure, for they will see God. God blesses those who work for peace, for they will be called the children of God. God blesses those who are persecuted for doing right, for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs. “God blesses you when people mock you and persecute you and lie about you and say all sorts of evil things against you because you are my followers. Be happy about it! Be very glad! For a great reward awaits you in heaven. And remember, the ancient prophets were persecuted in the same way.

​ The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul; The testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple; The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; The commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes; The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever; The judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, Yea, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

​ You got to circle this thing, you have to get around it and you need to shout the walls down . - Don Potter

​ This is my setup from the Morning Star worship and warfare conference this past November. It felt so comfortable. I think I’m keeping it. (From left to right - if you are sitting on the drum throne) floor tom, mounted tambourine and assorted hand stuff, wave drum, thunder drum, conga, quinto, tumba, wind chimes, djembe, doumbek. The only thing I might change would be the drum throne, I would replace it with a cajón. 

​ IN THE beginning [before all time] was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was GodHimself.

​Its ok to be sad sometimes. 

​ Crown Him with many crowns, The Lamb upon His throne; Hark! how the heav’nly anthem drowns All music but its own! Awake, my soul, and sing Of Him who died for thee, And hail Him as thy matchless King Through all eternity. Crown Him the Virgin’s Son, The God Incarnate born, Whose arm those crimson trophies won Which now His brow adorn: Fruit of the mystic Tree, As of that Tree the Stem; The Root whence flows Thy mercy free, The Babe of Bethlehem. Crown Him the Lord of Love: Behold His hands and side; Rich wounds yet visible above In beauty glorified: No angel in the sky Can fully bear that sight, But downward bends his burning eye At mysteries so bright. Crown Him the Lord of peace, Whose power a scepter sways From pole to pole, that wars may cease, And all be prayer and praise. His reign shall know no end, And round His pierced feet Fair flowers of glory now extend Their fragrance ever sweet. Crown Him the Lord of years, The Potentate of time
