Expect Your Harvest!


I am so excited to share the word that God has given me.  If we were to live by what we see happening around us, we would surely give up.  We see the leaders of the world at odds with each other.  We see the cost of living skyrocketing. We see seats available in the pews.  Yes, this enough to discourage some, but we don't live by what we see.  The just shall live by faith! That's good news. 

We don't have to be afraid of what is coming when we know who is coming.  God has promised his people that harvest is coming.  No matter what you have lost, the latter rain is on the way.  In other words, God is getting ready to give you better.  

You have prayed too much. You've been on your face too long.  You have cried out to God and put away your plate! God honors every sacrifice you have made and it is your job to expect him to do just what he said.  What did he say? Well, read your bible.  It's full of his promises, but I will share this one with you now:  Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice for the LORD will do great things. Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month.  Joel 2:21,23

God is telling us that when we put him first, our barren land is going to bear fruit again! He is getting ready to bless his people.  I can't help but get excited! I am expecting my harvest. I am looking for God to do the miraculous in my life and in my church! I am looking for manifestations of blessings to overtake us. What are you looking for?

If you are his and you know it, get ready for your harvest! Prepare yourself for an abundance of peace, love, joy, and prosperity. God promised it to you!

Reaching the lost at any cost, 
Pastor Odie Kennedy

Atleast Say Thank You!

Image
I give honor to God today. I thank him for my life, health, and strength.  I thank him for the activities of my limbs,   I thank him for bringing me over the dangerous highways. I thank him for  keeping me from dangers seen and unseen. I'm saved, sanctified,  and filled with the precious Holy Ghost, and that with a mighty burning fire. And I do speak in tongues as the spirit gives utterance!  As a young girl growing up, I thought that was a cute little speech that you had to say when you stood before the people in church.  I used to think it was a rehearsed cliché that the mothers testified to each other.  Looking back now, it seems like every Sunday we went to altar and "got saved"! It was just something the young people did- either on our own, because our friends went, or because Mama said so.   When I got saved for real, the Lord did a good job! He showed me a better way to live and offered me his love. As I serv...

Prayer Is Essential

Image
Essential is defined as being absolutely necessary and extremely important. I cannot think of anything more essential to the spiritual health of the believer than prayer. As the year comes to close, I look back at the tragedies some of us narrowly escaped, the tests we endured, and the pain we suffered. This glance back isn't global or even national. We only have to look as far as our own front doors.  Even our houses of worship have been subject to trials. It is only through the grace of God that we are not consumed. And it is essential that we pray, and we give thanks. Prayer can sometimes be seen as powerful when the verbiage is great, and the tone is loud. For me, it has been in my quietest moments that I have seen the power of prayer manifest miracles. Though I may be surrounded by chaos, prayer allows me to come humbly before my God and find his peace. As followers of Jesus, we must take heed to his divine example. In the garden of Gethsemane (Matthew 26:29), while facing the...

Search and Surrender

Image
This is the time when so many are evaluating their lives and declaring change.  You know the season.  When the new year rolls in, we start looking for a new person to emerge in the mirror.  This can be an effective motivation for some.  They begin the weight loss journey and soon begin to see results. That accomplishment becomes a drug that keeps them running back to the gym.   I could possibly make some declarations of my own, but this year I am asking God to do a new thing in me. It would be nice to be slimmer, richer, and all of that, but it's more important for this child of God to be spiritually made new.  I'm not talking about a new shout or dance, but I want God to transform me from the inside out.  This time of year is also a time of consecration.  We turn down our plates and lift up our hearts in prayer. We take our devotion to the next level by denying this flesh. I know you're saying that we should be doing that all of the time....
