Bread in the Desert by Pastor Rod Parsley


Bread in the Desert The Lord said to Moses, "I have heard the grumbling of the Israelites. Tell them, 'At twilight you will eat meat, and in the morning you will be filled with bread. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God.'" Exodus 16:11-12 In the book of Exodus, after the Israelites escaped Egypt, they could no longer do the tasks they had done all their lives in slavery. They were on a journey to a new land and had to trust God to provide everything for them. God not only gave them water in the desert but also provided manna for them-so much manna that the ground was completely covered! There was a catch, though-the Israelites had to gather it every day. They could not store it up for the next day, and those who did found it rotted. God wanted to transform the Israelites from being independent to being dependent on Him alone for their every need. God does the same with us today. He makes a way out for everyone who trusts Him. Do you feel like you are still in the wilderness, still on the way to your promise? Do you feel lost sometimes, like God has abandoned you? Read the story of the Israelites and remember that God will never leave you or forsake you and He will be with you wherever you go. Further Reading Joshua 1:9 Deuteronomy 31:6-8 Genesis 28:15

On Purpose by Joe Stowell

We . . . are being transformed into [Christ’s] image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord. —2 Corinthians 3:18 Rick Warren’s The Purpose-Driven Life has had an unbelievable run on the best-seller lists. Its phenomenal appeal reminds us that believers and nonbelievers alike have a deep longing for a clear sense of purpose. We all want to know that our lives are involved in something worthwhile. Without a strong sense of calling and purpose, life is nothing more than routine busyness. Being a follower of Jesus gives us a distinct advantage when it comes to having a sense of purpose. The Westminster Catechism sums it up well when it says the “chief end of man” is to “glorify God and to enjoy Him forever.” Glorifying God means putting His character, His will, and His ways into action in all that we do. The apostle Paul reminded us that we “are being transformed into [Christ’s] image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord” (2 Cor. 3:18). The purpose of our lives is to let others see what God is like as they watch and experience His love through us. What a profound privilege it is to mirror God’s love, mercy, grace, justice, and righteousness to a world whose heart is “veiled” to God’s truth! (2 Cor.4:3-4). Our purpose is to show others less of us and more of Him. That’s living on purpose with a purpose! So let our lips and lives express The holy gospel we profess, So let our words and virtues shine To prove the doctrine all divine. —Watts The Christian’s purpose is to promote God’s plan.

Holy Moly it's Mold


Since I have discover that I have been a victim of mold. I would like to set up a business that helps the people that are victims of mold (renting a property) or brought a home that already had the mold. I will be using SCORE mentor to help me with setting up the business and getting the business plan done. For things that I can't do, I will hire someone to do them. Just remember things like this take some time. I will say give me at least six months once I receive an adequate amount of money to set things up for the business. Thanks for your support. Many states don't have a regulation for mold. Just call EPA or some other agency. Hopefully, the first one I will set up will be in Mississippi.

For Christ by Pastor Rod Parsley


For Christ Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved. Acts 4:12 George Williams was a godless young fellow...yet he found Jesus on the filthy, polluted streets of London, England. In 1844 he was led by God to begin a program to win young men to Christ, which became known far and wide as the Young Men's Christian Association....the YMCA. Walking home in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1868, Dr. Samuel Wolcott, the pastor of a Congregational church, was inspired to write a hymn titled, "Christ for the World We Sing," after attending a YMCA meeting. It became one of the most famous hymns ever written. We never know how our actions will impact others, but God does. He can use anyone to effect change in the world and in the lives of those who have not heard His message. Never doubt that God can work good through you. Philippians 2:12-13 says, "...Continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose." Open yourself to His guidance and He will use you in amazing ways! Further Reading Acts 16:30-31 Philippians 2:12 Mark 16:16

Supernatural Resource by Rod Parsley


Supernatural Resource "Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit," says the Lord Almighty. Zechariah 4:6 This life has been likened to a boxing match. There are a few moments when we can sit down and rest, but for the most part, we're engaged in conflict. In this life, we are constantly being confronted by challenges, but we can hope, for we all have access to the power of the Holy Spirit who resides in each one of us. On the Day of Pentecost, the Spirit of God was suddenly poured out upon the expectant disciples of Jesus. On that day, they were catapulted from ordinary to extraordinary, from the natural to the supernatural. Whatever your need, know that God has already made provision. Ask His Spirit to guide you. Power is available to you for every circumstance you face through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. You are able to do all things through the power of the Holy Spirit at work within you. John 14:26 says, "But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you." Rely on the power of the Spirit and you will see victory. Further Reading Isaiah 44:2-4 John 14:15-20 John 14:25-27
