Reaching Thousands


WOW! Imagine preaching to hundreds of thousands of people all at the same time. People receiving the Word of God and their lives being impacted and changed. Bodies healed, relationships restored, financial increase. Can you just see it? I can. Why? Because that is precisely what we are doing.

Every week we are speaking into the lives of hundreds of thousands of people around the world. Yes, through internet and broadcast radio. Something I never really considered doing as part of this ministry.

How did this all come about? By praying and listening getting the vision down on the inside and taking steps towards the goal.

Habakkuk 2:2 (KJV) “And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision. And make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.”

That is such simple advice from God, yet many of us never take that first step. Write out that vision. See it in front of you and get a word picture of what He has already placed inside you. He gives us the desires of our heart, according to Psalm 37. The Lord has placed in you desires to great exploits for His glory.

We also sowed financially into a ministry that already has radio programs. I like to think of it as sealing it. I put faith in action by supporting a work that is doing what I am called to do. The Bible tells us that whatever a man sows that shall he also reap. (Galatians 6:7 paraphrased.)

As the vision unfolded before us, we took the initiative to get understanding. The who, what, where, and how to do this. Then as we continued to speak and confess what the Lord had said for us to do, His favor was in action behind the scene. Not long after He told us to go on broadcast radio, we were contacted by a broadcast company that owns several stations. They found us! Not only did they find us, they gave us a great timeslot. That not only happened once but twice now.

What is the Lord telling you, showing you in your spirit? Start today and get His vision for your life in front of your eyes. Take steps towards that vision and watch the Lord do mighty works through you.

The Life

The Life
Jesus said that He came that we might have and enjoy life to the full till it overflows.
What life was He talking about?
If you back-up just a line or two in the scripture in the book of John 10:10, Jesus also said that the thief, talking about Satan, comes but to steal, kill and destroy. Many times I have used this when I was going through a trying time of my faith and quote this very verse. However, I see this now in a different light.
Go back to the beginning where God created man and breathed the breath of life into him. The Amplified Bible says the breath or spirit of eternal life. Now go to John 1 and read the first four verses. Notice verse four, “In Him was Life and the Life was the Light of men.”
When God breathed into Adam the Life, it was the eternalness of God Himself.
As Believers, we know that Adam ate the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, and at that very moment he and Eve died spiritually. All of mankind was separated from God. Why all mankind? Because the Life that was in him had the DNA of everyone that was to be born, forever. Now because he sinned, death, sickness and disease entered the world. God created us to be like Him and live forever just as He does. Think about that for a moment or two.
God then sent His Son, Jesus, The Christ, The Anointed One, to take all the sin that had come into the world through the first Adam and destroy it forever. 1 John 3:8 “He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.” He came to give us back the Life that was stolen in the garden.
Now we that are in Him have that abundant, overflowing life within us. Jesus said in the book of John 7:37,38 “In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying,” If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.””
Picture a glass that has been filled with water. Now continue to pour water into it. It will overflow and get everything around it wet. That is how we are to be with the Life that is in us. We should be affecting everything and everyone around us. The atmosphere should change wherever we go. This Life is not for us to hang onto and not share. It is ours to share with everyone else. Why? Go back to the beginning and look at what God said to Adam, “Go forth, be fruitful and multiply.” That doesn’t just mean go have a bunch of babies. God wanted Adam and all of man to replenish or spread the garden to every corner of this earth.
Now take the Life that is in you and go out and spread it around!
