Let's be in prayer for our newly elected President; Barrack Obama and his family. This is our responsibility and more importantly our high and holy calling (1 Timothy 2:1-3). God has all authority in His hand (Matthew 28:18) and distributes power as He wills (Luke 10:19; Romans 13:1). Our government and all the governments of the world are ultimately upon the shoulders of Jesus (Isaiah 9:6). Let's keep our focus on God, obey His command to pray for all who are in authority, and He will not fail to perform His promise that all will go well with us.
Now is not the time to fear (Psalms 27:1-5). Rather it is a time to exercise great faith in God and trust Him to work ALL THINGS together for our good (Romans 8:28)! As Christians we still have a powerful voice to impact this generation. However, our influence is primarily with God through worship and intercession. As we move the heart of God with our cries into the Heavens, He will move the hearts of men no matter what seat of authority they hold upon this earth. Our prayer should be whatever decisions are made in our nation's capital would ultimately advance the Kingdom of God and bring honor and glory to Jesus Christ!
"The king's heart is like channels of water in the hand of the Lord: He turns it wherever He wishes." (Proverbs 21:1)

I am currently sending this update from Sunny SoCal. West coast time is 6:50pm. I'll be ministering at THE ROCK in Anaheim for 3 Kids services on the a.m. and then at our FREE CHAPEL location in Irvine for the evening service in KidPak. I love kids and am expecting an awesome weekend in God's presence as he pours His spirit out on these precious children.
These are exciting times. The Devil wants us to think that we should be afraid. Anxiety is gripping many of God's men and women. I'm not giving in. I'm pressing into all God has for me. The enemy would so distract us with lies and fear and divert our attention away from God's glory at work. I'm choosing not to give any of my attention to the works of darkness but rather I'm keeping my focus on the light. God's Kingdom is coming to Earth and the devil can't block it. He can only try to get us confused. As God's Kingdom comes closer to the earth, Demonic activity will heighten. But that's when God's people will arise to their destiny. Isaiah 60:1-2 says, "Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. For behold, darkness will cover the earth and deep darkness the peoples; BUT THE LORD WILL RISE UPON YOU." We don't need congress to bail us out. We've already been bailed out by the blood of Jesus! God will take care of us and provide our every need and the gospel will go forth. In Him we have all the finances, joy, peace and anointing that we need. Don't believe in any of the bad news. Yes it's bad out there but we have a promise from God that He will be with us all the way to the end.
This is going to be a pivotal month in the history of our nation. Please vote! I already cast my ballot. And a word to all my brothers and sisters in Christ... Please vote the Bible in your convictions and dreams for our country. God has not forsaken us and is still waiting in the wings for those who will pray and show themselves loyal to His purposes for our nation. Our cry should be for MERCY and then a change will surely come. And THAT is the change we REALLY NEED. God still loves America and our greatest days in the body of Christ are just ahead. Don't be afraid of anything. God is God and He has not abandoned His plans for the awesome destiny for His bride; the Church of the living God.

So welcome to the new website! Thanks to Phil Rogers Designs we're up and running. While the site has changed I have remained true to my passion to awaken a hunger for God's presence in hearts everywhere. Please note that we have replaced all the music from our old website with a preview of 4 singles from my latest solo CD project to drop sometime in 2009. You can also watch 3 selected videos from my latest LIVE Worship DVD on the 'media' page. I hope you will sense the presence of the Lord as strong as it was on the night we recorded it. To order this project simply click on the 'store' tab at the top or you can click the link directly at the top of this 'news' section.
As many of you know, along with my travels abroad, I also serve as the Children's Worship Pastor at Free Chapel in Gainesville, GA under Pastor Jentezen Franklin. It is one of my deepest desires to ignite the flame of worship in the next generation. There is a powerful prophetic move of God taking place with children and I am humbled that God has allowed me to be on the cutting edge of what He is doing.
Speaking of kids... Be on the lookout for the new Free Chapel Kid's CD Sun Shining Bright (to be released later this month). Forget everything you've heard in children's worship! From the moment you listen to the first track you'll know why this is not your typical kids worship CD! Adults, teens and children of all ages will relate with it's passion and vibe! You can find out more about this awesome project and discover what the incredible ministry of KidPak is all about at www.kidpak.org... God bless and thanks for stopping by. Please check back often for more updates!
