Some of my favorite sayings!

1) The power to believe provides the power to change! 2) Don't dream alone dream together! 3) Now for my favorite quote from Matthew Barnett "Great men are ordinary men who never give up"

True Leadership!

The true leaders are people who never set out to be leaders. True leaders don't elevate themselves. Instead, the people elevate them. Some young men make a mistake in ministry by forcefully proclaiming that they are leaders. In fact, they love the power; they love to have authority and control over people because their egos get a boost. But they fail to realize that the power is not for them; it's for serving others!(Matthew Barnett said it all in his book "The Church That Never Sleeps" and I think he said it well!)

The Flow of Water!

Does your life feel dry at times? Are you beat down and tired from the things of this life? Have you taken wrong measures to satisfy your life? Those are just a couple of questions I want to ask before I launch into this post! Man-made religion never satisfies; only God provides the Living water that can quench our thirst in this life. His invitation is open to anyone who gets thirsty. To hunger and thirst for the water that Christ gives is to hunger and thirst for the things of God and for the fullness of the Holy Spirit. With our Lord there is no waiting for the water our souls require and need! Anyone can drink of this water that gives life! How do we drink the water? When you come to the water you are coming to a person. You must come on God's terms, and you have to yield yourself by faith in order to get the water! The release of the Holy Spirit in a Christian's life, however, is conditional- we must believe, receive, and then glorify Christ through our lives! Jesus must be loved, honored, and exalted. Jesus is saying that the part of us that is never satisfied, the part of us that craves so much, becomes, when we receive this water, the part that is satisfied. Our unfulfilled desires can become fully satisfied by the indwelling Spirit of Christ in our lives. Furthermore, the satisfaction that comes to us in Christ overflows to others(John 7:37-38)! Power and overflowing joy are the characteristics of great drinkers of the spirit. But the inspiring irony in this is that we never experience satisfaction, as we are meant to, until our lives give satisfaction to others. I don't know about you but helping others fills me up! I have a dream and through Christ it can happen! A 24 hour Church in Anderson, It bothers me that the homeless and the addicted have no place to go for shelter, rehab, and most of all somewhere they can feel the presence of Power and Love in Christ! There are over 300 churches in this county and none of them are open at night to help those in need! We need a place for all people to come! The church is not a place to gather in a Holy Huddle its a body that needs to be effective! I'm out Love Jason

The last days!

Hello! I have one question to ask... here it comes.. are you ready?! If today was the last day of your life what would you tell the world? Here is what I would say.. and I am about to piss some people off and I really don't care! I would tell everyone to watch out for liars, theifs, and the world's worst-cut throats! Ok liars, you are so scared of the truth.. that you even lie to yourself! Now to the thief, you need a big smack in the mouth for taking something that does not belong to you! And for my most HATED types of people THE OLD FAMOUS CUT THROATS.. these are the people that get off on other peoples failures! You would rather see someone fall than stand.. and brother or sister that's WRONG! These people don't have a life (by the way.. they would if they would ask Jesus, He would rock their world!). So they try to mess up other peoples' lives! They too need to be smacked in the mouth! I would tell the pastor that preaches racism that HELL IS HOT! I would tell the Government of the United States to turn back to God because right now we have our back to him and everyone wants to know why the economy is failing and why the crime rates have skyrocketed! I would tell all of those people out there who say ABORTION is ok to actually go in and watch the procedure of a fetus getting sucked out of the womb and the very life God created being put to death.. MURDER! Oh! This ticks me off! So its ok to go out.. spread your legs.. enjoy sexual pleasure.. conceive a child.. and then just because you don’t want the child.. abort it?! You know, I wonder how people like this sleep at night! I wonder howthe businessman from Greenville could walk in a prostitutes room.. sleep with her on his lunch break, and then go back to work.. call his wife.. take her out that night, AND THEN sleep with her and think that's ok! Folks this is reality. We see it every time we go to G-Vegas to do outreach and it makes me very angry! I want to tell the real men in the world to please STEP UP AND LEAD YOUR FAMILIES! Women you were created from man for man. YOU SHOULD RESPECT MANS AUTHORITY IF HE IS LEADING! IF NOT KICK HIM WHERE IT HURTS AND TELL HIM TO WAKE UP! This world needs help and the types of people I just talked about can't help it! They will continue to do their father's work.. THE DEVIL.. he is the KING OF LIES! To the people out there who just got PISSED you might need to self evaluate the way you live! Is it for SATAN or JESUS CHRIST? Are you HOT or COLD? OOOOH! I know it hurts.. suck it up and admit it! You can't be luke warm! ALL THIS WAS OUT OF LOVE FOR YOU! THAT IS THE WORLDS PROBLEM THE DONT TALK ABOUT REALITY AND ADDRESS TRUE ISSUES!

Please Read!

Well, good afternoon everyone I want to write on a subject that is heavy on my heart, Christmas for the needy! Statistics show that 83% of Americans spend too much money around Christmas time. I'm convinced that most of those people buy gifts for people that are a waist of money and will never be used! So I had a thought while some might not like it I wish people would respond to it! Instead of buying things for people that are not in need, buy for people that don't have anything. There are Children and Families out there that will not have anything this Christmas and guess who can make a difference YOU and ME! If you contact organizations within your community they will need items for people throughout the holidays! Lets make a difference this holiday season in the our community and this Nation! With as much as this country has their is no excuse why people should be on the streets cold and hungry! It just doesn't make sense to me! If you would just sponsor one family it would make a huge impact in many peoples lives! I pray that this message sweeps this nation! Forward or email to as many people as possible PLEASE! Love Jason

The Good!

The Gospel by its very name means “Good News.” It is considered Good News because it announces there is a solution for man’s greatest problem. We know that this “Good News” is received by faith in the grace of God. Forgiveness is not something we earn or even could earn although many people believe that lie! Forgiveness is a gift that we receive. The greatest need you and I will ever have is the removal and forgiveness of our sins(Thank God for that) Knowing that our sin eternally separates us from a Holy God puts into perspective the great gift God offers to those who will receive it by faith(JESUS). Unfortunately, many people think they can replace the gift of God by doing good works and make it to Heaven. Newsflash that can’t happen! Satan spends much time trying to get people to believe just that, because if he can trick people into believing this lie he’s got them! Remember apart from Christ no man can be saved. If we were all honest with ourselves we are not good people. I know I’m not. I’m just a crazy white boy that Loves Jesus! Remember doing good apart from Jesus is impossible! I Love all of you very much have a great day I’m off to work in just a few, Jason!

Good for you or Him?

Wow what a devotional this morning and I just have to share it with the world! I would like to start by asking a question. Is it possible for a human being to do good things? Jesus said in scripture Romans 3:12, NIV “There is none who does good, no, not one.” You know that depends on who defines doing good. If by doing good we mean doing nice things or even moral things as a part of a responsible human society, then human beings can do good things. If by doing we mean things we do which God can call good, then human beings cannot do good things on their own at all PERIOD! Romans 3:12 is the higher definition of doing good its Gods view! For someone to do something God would call good, three things must be true. 1. The good must originate first in God not man! 2. The good comes from God to a willing person, in my opinion someone really obedient! 3. The goodness leaves the person willing to serve God’s purposes not mans! This is why Jesus did so many good things. His whole behavior, in God and for God. He lived constantly as a man doing only the will of God nothing more nothing less! He completely released all of the goodness of God in him to SERVE his Father’s purpose on earth. As Christians, we can do good by believing in Jesus. Believing is our willingness to be ready and waiting. When we continuously believe in Jesus, God is able to allow us to do the good works he desires for others. Jesus said, “He who believes in me, out of his belly will flow rivers of living water.” (John 7:37) Now that is really doing good things! As I look in John 15:4 Jesus said, “Without me you can do nothing.” Trying to do good without Jesus is impossible. Once again we do good only as we continuously believe in Jesus! I will close with 2 questions you need to answer for yourself. Do you desire to do good things everyday? Who should get the credit for all the good you do? I hope this hit home to you. It was lengthy but I felt I needed to share it so have a Jesus filled day and look up and smile! Jesus LOVES you! I’m out

A Building with the Church inside!

Wow! God has really been hitting me hard over the past month about starting a 24 hour Church! It drives me insane to see Churches everywhere with nice facilities and not using them properly! Over 4% of the people in Anderson are homeless, or have drug related issues! There is not one Church open 24 hours a day. We need a Church that will shelter the homeless, comfort the needy and provide a way out to those who want to drop the addiction! I was in Anderson last week and i seen something that rocked me to the core. A Mom and 2 kids on the streets no where to go, and nothing to eat. The kids hardly even had clothes that fit. This breaks my heart because many of us could do so much to help but no one seems to care. Well i do and its time to step it up its by Gods grace that's not me that is homeless or drug addicted and the same goes for you! There are many Churches helping in the community and food banks as well as rehab facilities and thanks to you! What would happen if God blessed Anderson SC with a facility that combined all of these into one! UNITY THAT'S WHAT! As you read you may say this guy is crazy and i would say to you "No I'm not my God is HUGE!" Philippians Chapter4! I Love you so much and i can't wait to see what God does next! Thanks to Matthew Barnett and the Dream Center you have changed my view of what Church is all about!

Today in Anderson SC!!!!!!!

Today was the first official day of prostitution and water bottle ministry in Anderson! It was AWESOME and we came in contact with lots of people! I was blown away at how much foot traffic there is in the areas we went to. People got to see Love first hand when we give them water and some word(AND I DON"T MEAN TELLING THEM THEY ARE WRONG AND GOING TO HELL EITHER) Just telling them there is HOPE and a GOD(Jesus) that loves them! I'm pumped Thanks Chad and Tommy for your support! Jesus is the only one who can CHANGE AMERICA not our PRESIDENT! Oh and by the way Pray for all our leaders instead of bashing them! Obama is a human before he is a President! Enjoy your day IN GOD WE TRUST!!!!!!!!!!!! Love Jason
