Remembering someone special.

Two years ago today, I lost my sweet Mother after she had suffered with a long illness. I can certainly reflect and think about all of the memories that we have of our days gone by.

Mother was a great friend to my sweet wife Bobbi, but she was always "MOM".

Mom was a very jolly lady and sometimes in a kidding way, we would refer to her as "Jolly Jack".

Her name was Jackie, she was a very tender hearted individual and she really had a love for her family, children and of course she had a love for God.

We remember so many wonderful things about Mom today and we are so thankful for the blessing that she was to us.

In loving memory,

Frank & Bobbi

This is the day!

Psa 118:24  This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. 

What we do with this day, is really up to us!

I'm thankful that we have another opportunity to reach out to others and to help them make this a great day in their lives.

Praying with you in mind.

The noise of this world

Have  you ever noticed, there are people that do a lot of talking and never really say anything?

Don't let the naysayers sway your thinking, God is a Miraculous working God!

There are those that don't believe in the healing Power of Jesus, if you're sick, you're just supposed to be that way, they say. If for some reason you get better, they say, you were "Lucky". 

Real Christians don't even entertain "luck"! It's just NOT a part of my vocabulary. I shared something with a friend of mine recently concerning the word "luck"; it was a habit for him to use that word often, but I've noticed that after talking with him and explaining it to him, it's rare that I ever hear him even mention the word anymore. 

We live in a noisy world! folks demand their right to be heard, but what about the voice of God!  shouldn't we hear him? Trust me, he has so much more to say, and it's good!

Like the song, " I'll be somewhere listening ".

Praying with you in mind,

Taking careful AIM!

When you have the TRUTH of God's word, you are on target my friend, BULLSEYE! It's amazing when you see and hear the contrary, easy believism, or it really doesn't matter all that much! It does matter!! that's why God left us such perfect examples throughout his word for us to follow.

There are those that at one time really preached hard, NOT MEAN! but hard. There is a difference, I know we must love people and point them in the right direction and I have always found that they'll love you for it.

 We live in a world where people are so hurt, confused, and headed in the wrong direction in their lives and they are looking for someone to tell them the truth in love.

Eph 4:15  But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: 

We can reach people with the TRUTH when we give it to them with LOVE. I have found that people really do want to know what's good for them, I have people that I am witnessing to tell me all the time " Tell me more!" 

We're living in a lost and dying world without JESUS, I truly believe that people are hungry for the WORD because it's like manna, food for the hungry soul. 

I'm going to continue to preach God's word without fear or favor and by this I know, I'll stay on TARGET!

Delighting thyself in the Lord

Psa 37:3  Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. 
Psa 37:4  Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. 

The Word of God Teaches us in;

Isa 26:3  Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. 

What a blessing to have this promise of peace, for keeping our minds on the things of God and for trusting in him.

We need to always delight our thinking on the peace that only God can give as he does to those that allow their minds to be satisfied with thoughts of him.

I want to bask in his peace and see the fulfillment of his promise working and blessing my life, so that I may bless others.

Praying with you in mind,

Happy Mother's Day!

Pro 31:1  The words of king Lemuel, the prophecy that his mother taught him.
Pro 31:2  What, my son? and what, the son of my womb? and what, the son of my vows?
Pro 31:3  Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings.
Pro 31:4  It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink:
Pro 31:5  Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted.
Pro 31:6  Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts.
Pro 31:7  Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.
Pro 31:8  Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction.
Pro 31:9  Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy.
Pro 31:10  Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
Pro 31:11  The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.
Pro 31:12  She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.
Pro 31:13  She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.
Pro 31:14  She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar.
Pro 31:15  She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.
Pro 31:16  She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.

I certainly miss my Mother on this day and I am thankful for having her for so many years.

If you have the opportunity enjoy the time you have with your Mom.

Take Heed to the Warning Signs!

Everybody should know what this means when you see them in your rearview mirror; 

( Pull Over! )

Could it be that God is trying to get your attention and trying to get you to just simply pull over? 

Perhaps he's just wanting to give you a warning concerning something going on in your life!

There are times along life's way we just simply don't heed the warning signs and sometimes we just need to be curbed.

Don't disregard the warning signs in your life, they are there for a reason!

1Cor. 10:12  

Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.

Is the National Day Of Prayer

2Ch 7:14  If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 

Please join us as we pray for God to have his way in the hearts of the men and women of this world, that we may see the blessings of God upon us.

It's in Jesus where we put our Trust!

Thank you!

Instability brings turmoil

Definition of UNSTABLE: not stable : not firm or fixed : not constant

a : not steady in action or movement : irregular - unstable

b : wavering in purpose or intent : Vacillating

c : lacking steadiness : apt to move, sway, or fall unstable by movement

d : liable to change or cause quick alteration

James 1:8

a double minded man

is unstable ALL his ways.

The bible is so emphatic concerning being unstable or having instability in ones life.

I have known people that constantly move from place to place, they stay in one place for a little while, then they're moving off to somewhere else, sometimes it's a home or a job, and then there are times that it's even a church.

They are just never satisfied, oh! maybe for a while, but then they are off to the next place.

One of the things that I have always been thankful for, is being content, wherever I'm at, it tends to bring strength to the task at hand.

OH Yes! there are times that one must move on, but is there a viable reason for doing so?

I knew a man once that was actually a minister, and a really great guy, of course he was young and vibrant and had a lot of zeal, but he was so unstable, he would continuously move from one church to another and he would of course in the process move his family.

Even when he Pastored, he would move his church family from one building to another and this began to cause the entire congregation to become unsettled and as a result, he never knew growth, in fact, today he doesn't even serve God, one other sad thing, is that he even lost his family.

People have a tendency to watch the things that we do and how we conduct ourselves in a given situation, this many times is one of the very things that will draw people to us, or yes! away from us.

I want to always have a godly direction in my life so that I am always where God wants me to be and to be the light that he wants me to be also.

I'm not looking to be a floating lighthouse, simply because, it does not have the constant ability to give direction with purpose in a time of trouble.

Thanking God for that Constant Stability in my life.

1Co 15:58  Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

Isa 22:23  And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father's house.

Isa 9:6  For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. 

Mat 1:21  And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. 

When you think of a Name, you think of the representation of what that name really stands for.

Many times just the mention of a name can tell us a lot. We know that there is authority in a name when that names is spoken.

So it is, when the Name of Jesus is spoken! There is such Authority in that name and by just the mention of that name the things of this world are subject to the very power thereof.

 Think about it, there's Healing in that name, Victory, Peace, Joy, and most of all Salvation!!

Walk in the POWER of that Name and your life will be blessed beyond your comprehension.

Are we able to live for God and NOT try to make excuses

for not doing the things that we know we should be doing?

Can we be a people that are willing to take responsibility

in our lives that will bring GLORY to God because we have NOT allowed the excuses to consume our lives. 

Can we take responsibility to fix the things that we know are not right, instead of being the first to offer an excuse?

This world is looking for someone who is different, not just in the words that they speak, but in the actions that they take, and that theses actions are those that exemplify the true meaning of a person who is (a christian) Christ like.

Let's be on the excuse WATCH 

and not make excuses of any kind for any reason.

Our lives will be more powerful as a 

witness to those that are lost!

Where he leads me...will I follow?

There is something to be said about being in the center of God's will. What a feeling one gets when you have the assurance that you are where you are supposed to be.

There is a terrible feeling when one begins to realize that they are NOT where they need to be, many times it's too late; then again, it could also be a time to shake yourself.

This is just one of the reasons why it is so important to be prayerful and to ask God for his guidance in our lives in everything that we are doing, regardless of what it is.  I refuse to live a life outside of the willingness to follow after God's leadership. What a comfort that comes to an individual that knows he or she is following the will of God for their lives.  God has a will for every person that will simply yield themselves to him.

David of old said it like this in; Psa 23:  

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. 

Psa 23:2  He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 

Psa 23:3  He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 

Psa 23:4  Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 

Psa 23:5  Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 

Psa 23:6  Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever. 

Trust the Lord and let him lead and guide your life, I know that you'll be glad you did.

Praying with you in mind!

How much time do you have?

Just how smart do you have to be to understand that this world is just about over?

I know you may think there's still time and many even think that time is your friend, when in fact, time is your enemy!

You see, the older you become, the more set in your ways you become. The more you allow procrastination to become your friend the more chances are you will never do any more than what you are doing right now.

People have grown accustomed to putting things off, then after a while, it's really not important any longer.

2Co 6:2  (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.) 

God even warns throughout his word today is the day!

Think about about this, how much time is left is your hour glass? today is the day my friend!

As the song says, "turn your eyes upon Jesus, look FULL into his wonderful face".

Praying with you in mind,

The fulfilment of it ALL!

Even from a very young age so many have learned to quote this passage of scripture from memory, almost at the spur of the moment.

This is probably by far one of the most memorized portions of the bible there has ever been.  

Children have even used this as a bedtime prayer. 

It certainly brings comfort to those that read it, or even to those that hear it quoted.

As I have gotten older, whenever I think of this first verse, I sometimes find myself saying it like this, " The LORD is my Shepherd; he's ALL I want". 

Think about it, if you have the LORD what else do you need? For he alone is the fulfilment of anything that is lacking, regardless of what it is! Trust him my friend!

Praying with you in mind,

Ev. Frank Mc Gee ~ 

Nothing left to say...

As I was reading the 3rd Book of John today, I began to notice in the 14 verses that Jesus was never mentioned by name, not even once, then it occurred to me, if you're not talking about JESUS there's really not much to say is there?  

I hope we get the true message.    :-)

Praying with you in mind,

3Jo 1:1  The elder unto the wellbeloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth.
3Jo 1:2  Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
3Jo 1:3  For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth.
3Jo 1:4  I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.
3Jo 1:5  Beloved, thou doest faithfully whatsoever thou doest to the brethren, and to strangers;
3Jo 1:6  Which have borne witness of thy charity before the church: whom if thou bring forward on their journey after a godly sort, thou shalt do well:
3Jo 1:7  Because that for his name's sake they went forth, taking nothing of the Gentiles.
3Jo 1:8  We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellowhelpers to the truth.
3Jo 1:9  I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not.
3Jo 1:10  Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he doeth, prating against us with malicious words: and not content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and forbiddeth them that would, and casteth them out of the church.
3Jo 1:11  Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.
3Jo 1:12  Demetrius hath good report of all men, and of the truth itself: yea, and we also bear record; and ye know that our record is true.
3Jo 1:13  I had many things to write, but I will not with ink and pen write unto thee:
3Jo 1:14  But I trust I shall shortly see thee, and we shall speak face to face. Peace be to thee. Our friends salute thee. Greet the friends by name.

My Dear Friend Marv Jackson

Marvin August Jackson

Oct. 22, 1927 - April. 6th. 2013

Bro. Marv Jackson was a very special man, he and I were great and close friends, prayer partners, we prayed for one another and held each other up before the Lord daily, he always told me that I was like a son to him, and what an honor that was.

This is a friend that I will truly miss!
Praying for you Kathy,

The Mantle or overshadowing of the presence of God.

The placing of the mantle upon those who desire the benefit thereof.

Whenever I think of the putting on of the mantle, I am always taken back to the old testament story in the book of; 

2Ki 2:13  He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of Jordan; 

This story tells us of some great things that the Man of God did after receiving this mantle and having the desire in his heart to have it and the power or the blessing that was also associated with having it. It was a special piece of clothing or a garment that had significant value and representation. Keep in mind, it was NOT the cloth itself, but what it meant and it's ability to fulfill what God himself desired.

It was representative of the very Power of God! It did not come without price, it wasn't just a piece of cloth, but it had the significance like nothing else. This is one of the reasons why Elisha desired to have it when his master was taken away from him.

If I may use a personal example:  I am so thankful for the Anointing of God that I am able to walk in during those times that I begin to minister the Word of God under the very power of God that he choses to send down upon his servant to bring forth a message to a people that are hungry to hear thus saith the Lord.

This is also why one is not able to just "muster" it up, as the saying goes, you don't fabricate the Anointing of God or the Mantle that he choses to send. That is why I take it so seriously!

Somebody asked me the other day if I still get a little uneasy when I preach, my answer was this, even after over three decades of Ministering the word of God, Yes! I still get a little uneasy, because I know, that  if God doesn't do the work, it just won't get done! I know that I am not able to do it without him.

But what a feeling when the Holy Ghost begins to minister through the vessel that has allowed God to work through. Oh! what JOY!!

In this same understanding, when you have been overwhelmed with the pressures of life, or the battles that come to try and wear you out, there is a mantle that we are able to put on that gives us the blessing of praise in the midst of these types of trials.

Isa 61:3  To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified. 

If you're feeling like the battle that you're facing is more than you can bare, you need to ask God to give you that garment of praise that you may rejoice and claim the victory that God himself desires for us as his children to walk in.

Speaking of garments, we are to walk in the victory that God has given to us through the price he paid.

These next few verses also helps us to understand that there is another putting on of Christ that has tremendous value to us as christians.

Gal 3:25  But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. 
Gal 3:26  For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 
Gal 3:27  For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 
Gal 3:28  There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 
Gal 3:29  And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. 

I want to forever enjoy the putting on of the mantle that God desires for us to walk in and to feel that precious power that he has given to them that will trust him in their lives.

Praying with you in mind,

Ev. Frank Mc Gee ~

Ole Friends!

In this path of life, I am convinced that God allows us to come in contact with people for a specific reason.

Nearly 40 years ago when my wife and I were Pastoring in a small town in Kentucky we had a neighboring Pastor that we became friends with while we were there.

In fact, there was an occasion where we even preached for each other, we became friends, prayer partners, even had dinner together and many times we would enjoy our times together just discussing the Good Word of God. Then the time came that we moved away to another city, and so did he.

Our friendship became a parting of our ways, sad to say we lost touch with one another, almost 3 decades have slipped by not having one word with this ole preacher friend, we had become what I will call, let's just say, "long lost friends".

Down through the years not knowing whatever happened to this precious man, I would still pray for him when he would cross my mind. There were even times when I would travel through the town where we once lived on my way to a revival or to see relatives and I was reminded of him and not knowing where he had moved off to I would still call his name out in prayer.

I was reminded of the kindness that we received from him and his precious wife.

Talking with another dear friend of mine here just a few days ago about a computer problem that I have been having, he made arrangements to put me in contact with a close friend of his that works on computers, now this guy is sorta like a genius on these computer issues and he is also a fine christian man.

We worked for several hours over the phone trying to resolve my PC issues, during this time we are of course exchanging stories of what we have each done over the years of our lives and we were having an enjoyable conversation and all the while trying to resolve my computer headache. 

We start talking about places that we have lived, different jobs we have had over the years, and then we talked about this town in Kentucky where I use to live, he at one time had a business that would take him to that same town periodically.

Now keep in mind, this gentleman now lives a couple hundred miles from that town that I'm referring to, as he is talking he begins to mention his church that he attends, one thing leads to another in our conversation, all of a sudden I stop him! and I mention to him a name, he says YES! That's my Pastor!

Well!! Guess what?  ...I found my ole "long lost friend", I was so excited when he gave me his phone number so that I could call him and I did that very thing tonight, you talk about a surprise! I talked to him for a while on the phone even before I told him who I was, then I mentioned my name and he knew me immediately!

I thank God that he allowed our paths to cross nearly 40 years ago, but even happier, that he allowed us to re-connect over the many years that have now gone by.

You know what else I'm thankful for? it wasn't one of those things where he or I dreaded the re-connect, like somebody that you had hard feeling against, or somebody that you owed money to and never paid them, and when you saw them you had to try and dodge them or disguise yourself or perhaps look the other way.

He and I are both looking forward to the opportunity that we will have to enjoy a much longer reunion to reminisce when our schedules permit. 

Oh! By the way!  This Computer Genius that lead me to this man I just told you about, well, in our discussion, I also found out that he knows people that my wife knew back in her childhood over in Eastern Kentucky, now I know what you're thinking! " Ain't this a small world?".

Let me say this, be nice to folks that God allows to cross your path in this life, you may meet them again somewhere here down the road. Who knows! If you're a christian and they are likewise, if not here, you certainly want to meet them in Heaven!

One more thing, this preacher and I that I'm talking about, we're really not that OLD, that's why I said "ole" not old!

Live for God like there's no tomorrow, because you're tomorrow could start today.

Praying with you in mind,

Ev. Frank Mc Gee ~

with all thy heart...

Mar 12:30  And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. 

When we really care about something, we usually give it all we've got! We are commanded by God in his word to love him wholeheartedly, meaning, leaving nothing back. Why is it, that many times we are so willing to put out all effort in somethings, but hold back in other important areas of our lives?

God loved us so much that he gave himself for us, holding nothing back, he surrendered ALL. 

I've heard people say, talking about Jesus, that they took his life, but that is NOT true at all. He gave his life for us that will allow what he did to benefit us when it comes to Salvation.

Salvation doesn't simply come to everyone, but only to those that will receive it. 

This is one of the very reason he instructed us to love him in return, holding nothing back.

I'm reminded of the old song, "I surrender all" 

Judson W. Van DeVenter (1855-1939) was raised in a Christian home. At age 17, he accepted Jesus as his Savior. He graduated university with a degree in art and was employed successfully as a teacher and administrator of high school art. He traveled extensively, visiting the various art galleries throughout Europe.

Van DeVenter also studied and taught music. He mastered 13 different instruments, sang and composed music. He was very involved in the music ministry of his Methodist Episcopal church and eventually found himself torn between his successful teaching career and his desire to be a part of an evangelistic team. This struggle within himself lasted for almost five years.

In 1896, Van DeVenter was conducting the music of a church event. It was during these meetings that he finally surrendered his desires completely to God -- He made the decision to become a full-time evangelist. As he submitted completely to the will of his Lord, a song was born in his heart.

I Surrender All was put to music by Winfield S. Weeden (1847-1908 ), who published this and many other hymns in several volumes. Weeden so loved this song that the words I Surrender All were put on his tombstone.

The words and melody of I Surrender All have appeared in many hymn books around the world. 

I Surrender All

All to Jesus, I surrender;

All to Him I freely give;

I will ever love and trust Him

, In His presence daily live.

Refrain:

I surrender all, I surrender all,

All to Thee, my bless'd Savior,

I surrender all.

All to Jesus I surrender;

Humbly at His feet I bow,

Worldly pleasures all forsaken;

Take me, Jesus, take me now.

Refrain

All to Jesus, I surrender;

Make me, Savior, wholly Thine;

Let me feel the Holy Spirit,

Truly know that Thou art mine.

Refrain

All to Jesus, I surrender;

Lord, I give myself to Thee;

Fill me with Thy love and power;

Let Thy blessing fall on me.

Refrain

All to Jesus I surrender;

Now I feel the sacred flame.

O the joy of full salvation!

Refrain

Luk 14:33  So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.
