Rock & Roll


Praise God for everything that you have!  Praise God that He has removed the things from your life that are keeping you from Him!  Praise the Lord for the rain and for the sun! He is worthy to be praised!  Praise Him in everything that you do because when people see what you do and how you do it, they are going to want some of what you have.  Understand the power of your witness, and you will understand the difference that you can make on people whether they know you or not.

Good day to you all!  Explore that which is deep in you!  Keep your mind focused on your ministry, and continue to reach out.  Try to touch someone everyday!
I can do all things through him who strengthens me. Philippians 4:19
Don’t give up!  I say again, do not give up!  Often times our biggest enemy is time.  We put ourselves on an imaginary time table and we stick to it faithfully. We come up with our 5 year plan and we get to year 4 and have not done the things that we set out to do in year 2 we judge ourselves harshly.  When our dreams are buried often times it is our own fingerprints on the shovel.  We give up on ourselves too quickly.  We sometimes feel that we were not meant to be what God made us to be.  A compliment will be scrutinized to death, but an insult will be accepted immediately. There can be no testimony without a test. Today I want you to know that you are all that God wants you to be.  I heard Al Sharpton say that everything is acceptable until we stop accepting everything.  Accept that you are more than a conquer and stop accepting what the world tells you about what you can’t do.  When God is for you, who can be against you?

Dear Reader I know that you know the following story, but sometimes we just need a little reminder.  I want to tell you the story of when rock and roll was invented.  Jesus was on the cross on a Friday, and they put Him in the tomb.  The devil had chocked this up as a victory.  They put Jesus in the tomb and they placed a rock in front of the tomb.  The devil was still in the middle of his victory dance, until on that Sunday morning God sent an angel to roll away the stone.  Understand Dear Reader that at first there was a rock and then came a roll.  When the angel rolled that rock away Jesus walked out of the tomb with all power in His hand.  The devil had to stop dancing.  The devil had to do damage control because he thought he had the win, but it ended up being a stunning defeat.  Dear Reader it is Rock and Roll that guarantee’s your victory!  Your enemies have tried to bury you.  They not only tried, but they put you in the tomb and put a rock in front to keep you inside.  I tell you today Dear Reader that God is sending an angel and that rock is about to roll.  Don’t put yourself in the tomb Dear Reader because God is on your side! Go ahead and stand boldly on God’s promises and rejoice in who you are! You are a rock star!

You are beautiful, loved, and blessed

John Reed
