WHAT DO YOU SEE?

1KINGS 18:44 The seventh time the servant reported, “A cloud as small as a man’s hand is rising from the sea.”
Good morning brothers and sisters in Christ.
I would like to ask a question based on yesterday's blog....
What do you see? Are you seeing your Victory or do you see the battle?
Are you preparing for Rain....or still complaining about the drought and famine?
Are you STILL believing,or have you decided to settle for your current situation....saying :
"Oh well, at least I'm OK".....
"My job may not be the Best,but at least I have one"....
"My partner may not be the Best, and doesn't fully appreciate or understand me,but at least I'm not alone"...or worse,you are in an abusive relationship making excuses for your partner's abusive behaviour...saying - "At least I'm married..."
Remember - IF YOU WILL BELIEVE IT-YOU WILL SEE IT.
I love what my pastor says: He says the problem with Christians is that we Pray Too Much and Believe Too Little....
So, just for today....a challenge....to say NOTHING negative about yourself,your life,your current situation,your job,your partner....
Instead write FIVE THINGS FOR WHICH YOU ARE THANKFUL,for and TAKE FIVE MINUTES aside to THANK GOD for what He has already done,and for what He is busy doing in your life.
THEN WRITE FIVE THINGS WHICH YOU ARE BELIEVING OR TRUSTING GOD FOR AND THANK HIM FOR THOSE THINGS AS THOUGH YOU HAVE THEM ALREADY.
(The Wise will do this for more than just a day, but will do this until they see what they are believing for....)
Total Challenge = 10 MINUTES.
Ask God to open your eyes, to see beyond the natural, so that through your spiritual eyes,and that your faith may be built up,and you may see the rain that is coming.
The world is preparing for a double-dip recession,but as the children of God, we are preparing for a transfer of Wealth,we are preparing for Revival, we are preparing for the greatest Time on God's calender,for an outpouring of His Spirit...
(N.B. Elijah's servant had to go look 7 TIMES before he saw the cloud signifying the rain which was to come)
So I ASK AGAIN...... WHAT DO YOU SEE? 
Have a blessed God-filled day.
Your B.I.C.

Our God Is "SO GREAT"- Written by Shirley De Beer

Our God is so great; we just don’t know the size.
We are always complaining about everything that is happening around us, if it is not the weather, it is about someone saying or doing something you don’t like.
But our God is so much greater than all this, He watches over us every day never complaining once.

He does not say I will watch over only 3 people today, he watches over all His people at the same time.
He took our pain the day He died on the cross, He never complained, would we be able to do the same.

Our God is so great, He always comes through for us, even at the eleventh hour, we are not patient enough to wait for His answers, and we always want something and want it now.

Our Lord Jesus Christ gives us so much, we need to be grateful for all that we receive and we need to pass this love, patience, joy, piece onto others.
SO JUST REMEBER THAT OUR GOD IS GREAT.

Yours in Christ
Shirley de Beer

ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE !!!

I love when God works this way.....Dazz and I were chatting earlier about what the blog should be today.

He said that we should share with you guys the IMPORTANCE OF BELIEVING....

Of seeing what you want,and pushing beyond limitations,beyond circumstances,until the thing you want comes to pass.

And then someone sends me this verse for the day on Faith.( Heb11 :1)

What is faith? It is the confident assurance that something we want is going to happen.
It is the certainty that what we hope for is waiting for us, even though we cannot see it up ahead.

The world says "seeing is believing",but in the Kingdom the opposite is true,"BELIEVING IS SEEING".

If you DON'T believe it -you WON'T see it.

Hebrews 11 (entire ) shows us perfectly the outcomes of certain individuals who exercised their faith,and the World was forever changed because of their belief AND UNWAIVERING faith.

Mary,who by saying " Let it be done to me according to Your Word" changed the World,and gave birth to the Son Of God.

Do u know that you just may be that next great man/woman of God to change History?....all it takes is BELIEF.

In my own life, I have NURTURED a dream for over 20 years,and because I believe it is God-Given...... I WILL NOT quit,until I see it come to pass. I KNOW like I KNOW like I KNOW that I am called for Nations.....that I have been chosen BEFORE BIRTH by Almighty God to make a difference in people's lives,and to share the Love of God and the Good News (which is Salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ)

I speak ONLY that which will feed the dream,only that which is positive , only that which will hasten it to me....

I find scripture e.g. 1Jn 5:4 "For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world-- our faith"

I speak His Word over the dream..... I disassociate from any and all that might hinder my dream.

I keep only those around me,who will assist me in the dream.....

In fact -I ask God to please remove those that are against His plan ,and to please bring me the right people who will assist me in realising the dream He has given.

NB:- DOUBT IS A KILLER : -

James 1:6-8 says:

But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.7 That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord;8he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does.

So, what is it that you are trusting God for?
And what steps are you taking practically,towards the fulfillment of the dreams He has given you?
Have circumstances or life or your family responsibilities made you forget your dream,and settle for less?

Notice something here,God gave a child to Abraham and Sarah(long after child-bearing age),gave a child to Mary(a virgin) made Moses( a "stutterer" and one of " slow speech") the leader of about 6.3 million people and led them out of Egypt,etc.etc.etc.

There is a saying I love. It says

"God does not call the equipped ,but equips the called",and that means it is our availability,not our ability which God requires.

So, I want to encourage you, if you have discarded your God- Given Dream(for whatever reason) ...

Go back to your assignment, your work is NOT your assignment....what we do for the Kingdom is our assignment.

I'D LIKE TO LEAVE YOU WITH SOMETHING JESUS HIMSELF SAID in Mark9:23

"What do you mean, 'If I can'?" Jesus asked. "Anything is possible if a person believes."


Be encouraged,
Be blessed,
Be a Blessing

Much Love

BACK WITH A VENGEANCE

Good day to all our brothers and sisters out there.

Today Daddy's Family goes back into the studio to record our 2nd track( Back With A Vengeance).

We will (God-willinlgy) be dropping a track every week for the next 5 weeks.

Back with a Vengeance deals with such issues as us taking back the arts for God,of being salt that has not lost its saltiness,and bearing witness to a dark and dying world,about the gospel of our Lord and Saviour - Jesus Christ.

The masses(ESPECIALLY OUR YOUTH) have been, and are being misled by the artists of our time.

Many youngsters are singing songs,they have no clue of,or of what spirits they are invoking or calling...

We feel MILITANT about this,and are determined (by the Power of Him who sent us) to take a stand against the "Norms" that society is trying to place upon our youngsters,and raising a blood soaked banner,against the enemy.

You may not be a rapper,or an artist yourself,but be careful what you listen to ......specially since our kids are always listening to and emulating what we as parents do.

"We back with a Vengeance,Back in the trenches,Back ,taking Back Territory......Inches by Inches."



Let's go back to when you had ta
Backtrack the track ta
Know who and which crew were shepherds for Lucifer;
Back to the future and the future is the present.
Now they more decadent,now they more irreverant,
Blatantly Blasphemous,they leave you speechless,
then got the nerve to thank God in their Grammy speeches....
JESUS,we need you cos this world's in a crisis,
blinded by the hype...
Lights,Camera,Action...
And young girls tryina keep up with the Kardashians,
Don't wanna hear our songs about our love for Jesus,
but the Radio plays Lady Gaga's love for Judas.
Isaiah 60 prophecied this :
Thick darkness over the Earth,
Thicker darkness over the people.
I hear God speaking to His sons and daughters
saying :
How long you just gonna watch the enemy Attack.
Push back,Bite back ,
Let him know you Fight Back...

Be blessed

My Name is " I AM"

My mother had this poem(A3 size) & framed, and hanging on our wall.

She used it as reference continuously ,and it has helped me tremendously in life. It stopped arguments about past events,or that fight you had with your brother/sister yesterday. It stopped sulking. It stopped anxiety.

We were in No Way allowed to carry today's fights and problems or whatever in to tomorrow.

No sympathy seeking here-it is what it is. Life hasn't been easy for me,(like many of you I'm sure)
but this poem,has helped me to release myself from past hurts,to forgive someone and NOT carry the offence,
and to walk in my Today(whether they acknowledge their wrong treatment of me or not...)

We all have struggles with our past from people who have hurt us,or disappointed us,or something we ourself did,or our fears for what is to come,based on our past "patterns" or what we see in the News,and media etc....
but TODAY I want to give you a seed.... I hope you will print this poem.......
plant this seed in your heart,and will from time to time read or make reference to it.


It may be familiar to some of you,to others Not Yet.


Much Love

My Name is "I AM" Poem
by Helen Mallicoat

I was regretting the past
And fearing the future.
Suddenly my Lord was speaking:

“My name is I Am.” He paused.
I waited. He continued,
When you live in the past
With its mistakes and regrets,
It is hard. I am not there,
My name is not I WAS”.

When you live in the future
With its problems and fears,
It is hard. I am not there.
My name is not I WILL BE.

When you live in this moment,
It is not hard. I am here.
My name is I AM.

LIFE MAY BE HARD,BUT GOD IS GOOD

Psalm 34:8

Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.

My brothers and sisters,this morning, I have the biggest grin -not just on my face ,but from within.

I'm not just Happy-I am clothed in and filled with Joy,and to quote Kirk Franklin :

" I don't just want you to be happy,cos then you gotta have something Happening,I want you to have Joy-cos can't nobody take that from you."

We are blessed,not because of what God does in our lives ,but by WHO HE IS in our lives. Blessed indeed are we who take refuge in Him,for circumstances cannot dictate how we feel. Material possessions do not define us. Our past is just that - our past,and is not a predetermining factor on our future-if we are in Him.

We 2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds,
3 because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.
4 Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. (James 1: 2-4)
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.(Rom 8:28)
What beautiful assurances 
That means -NOTHING that comes against me, can break me. That means that even my hardships I go through are meant to produce fruit in me,are meant to manifest the fruit of the Holy Spirit in me
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
Life may be hard at times, but God is Good -ALL THE TIME !

Look at the fruit you have,these were no doubt produced through times of trial,and they become fruit that we can share with others.

My life's experiences have become the soundtrack with which I can reach others,and through them they have allowed me reach and understand the broken ,the hurt,the lost,the downtrodden,and to say with a smile on my face "TASTE AND SEE THAT THE LORD IS GOOD".

Waiting

Habakkuk 2:3
3 For the revelation awaits an appointed time;
it speaks of the end
and will not prove false.
Though it linger, wait for it;
it[a] will certainly come
and will not delay.
Today,brothers and sisters I would like to discuss the topic of waiting....yes ...waiting.

Sometimes, we recieve promises from God,and we expect the materialisation thereof,and when it is not done in our time, we become discouraged or despondent,sometimes even giving up on the dream/promise we were given.

Waiting on Him,can be difficult,if we expect God to operate in OUR time...for time,is actually HIS. Furthermore, Philippians 4:6-7 says
6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
So waiting, is not a matter of waiting WITH ANXIOUS thoughts like "When...When... When?"
No - waiting is - waiting with a smile on your face, peace in your heart,KNOWING that His Word will not return void,but will accomplish that for which it was sent.
KNOWING that He is not a man that He should lie,nor the son of man that He should repent.
And while circumstances may go crazy around us,and while we don't know the How or the When, we know like we know-HE WILL....at HIS appointed time.
I like the saying " One moment of God's favour equals MORE than years of man's labour"
So, today, as you wait,don't stress,but give thanks to God,and allow the peace "which transcends all understanding" to "guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus"
Watch the words you speak over your situation,speak only those that are positive and will bring about the result you desire,and if it doesn't happen when you want it to,again - don't stress,remember TIME IS NOT YOURS...just throw your shoulders back, keep a grin on your face,knowing that He is IN CONTROL and "delight yourself in Him and He will grant you the desires of your heart(Psalm 37:4)
Have a God- Filled Fantastic Day

Tell all your friends Something New has Arrives. God Bless

Time Written By Jenni.E

Time goes by
Dreams become reality
All is not lost
But some has been left untapped

While we get mean, while we in a hurry
While we become selfish
And while we pretend to worry
While we put on facade, while we close our hearts
We miss out on the joy, the love the laughs

Time is gone it’s almost too late
How much more do u think the world can take?
Your purposes? Fulfill it, or give it a break
But be sure in time it would be a mistake, to waste
Shake!
Off all hate, all self-service, all debt imprisonment

Remove the things that will be your detriment
Bitterness- cos u think you deserve it
Ego- cos u believe you beyond it
Let go of yourself to learn about yourself
Through the eyes of the real One

When emotion overthrows your reality
It’s too late
Cos time might not be enough no more

THANK YOU LORD !!!

Rev 3:8 "I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut."

On this Tuesday morning, being the 1st. of the month and with the final touches being put on the The single "New" which will be released later today....

We want to give thanks to God, our Father for His faithfulness towards us.

We want to thank ALL those who have become part of our family,our brothers and sisters who intercede for us,and the ministry that has been given to us.

To the churches and leaders in Bosmont(our brother Deon Delport-thanks),and the pastors who prayed over us before their congregation,and all those at U.C.C (especially Brother Creon).-A VERY BIG THANK YOU !!!!

From the youth evenings,to the clubs, to Sun City Prison women's facility,HE has enabled us to reach out and touch the lost ,the hurt,the broken,the hopeless.... and he has connected us to other soldiers(both male and female),who share His heart and passion for Souls

To those who have been in the background,and have been our strength,and support . Thank You.

A very SPECIAL THANKS to Allison,who has allowed us time and again, to work all hours,and over weekends,on this project,and over the past 4 years has welcomed me into her home,and made me feel like family. Thank You.

We have been working on this project for over 4 years now, and we have gone through ups and downs,challenges,struggles, etc.

With NO financial backing,and at one time , even NO EQUIPMENT,God has seen us through,and brought us to the place we are today,and we have ONLY just BEGUN !!!

We are SOOO excited about what God is doing in and through us.

I CALL HIM FAITHFUL :)

I wish you all could see the smile on my face,or the tears that well up,right now as I write this.

Daddy, YOU ARE AWESOME !!!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
