HIM
Romans 15:17-21(TMSG)
17Looking back over what has been accomplished and what I have observed, I must say I am most pleased—in the context of Jesus, I’d even say proud, but only in that context.
18I have no interest in giving you a chatty account of my adventures, only the wondrously powerful and transformingly present words and deeds of Christ in me that triggered a believing response among the outsiders.
19In such ways I have trailblazed a preaching of the Message of Jesus all the way from Jerusalem far into northwestern Greece.
20This has all been pioneer work, bringing the Message only into those places where Jesus was not yet known and worshiped.
21My text has been, Those who were never told of him— they’ll see him! Those who’ve never heard of him— they’ll get the message!
In our world today many would say that there isn't any who haven't heard of Him (Jesus). I would tend to agree, except I would say that most have had the opportunity to hear about Him. But what about the whole message. That because He came and paid the price we can live a life free from sin, full of power to do the same things He did. We have the ability to change the world and because of us people can be told of Him, Because of us they can hear about Him. It seems that we as people sometimes would rather allow others to do the things God has set up for us. He set a plan in motion for each and everyone of us, and in that plan there is a place for everyone to see, hear, feel, know who He truly is and he is a loving Father that wants to hang out with His Kids all of them not just a few. That is why we can say in those place we go if they people haven't heard or seen God they will because we go in His Power and Might. Its possible for those who believe to walk in the same power that raised Christ from the dead. so as you go today be Jesus with skin on for those around so they may go to others and be Jesus with skin on. we can do it if only we believe. Be a blessing today. Sir Gregory

Daily Vitamin -"Imagine"
Imagine
1 Corinthians 2:9-10(TMSG)
9That’s why we have this Scripture text: No one’s ever seen or heard anything like this, Never so much as imagined anything quite like it— What God has arranged for those who love him.
10But you’ve seen and heard it because God by his Spirit has brought it all out into the open before you. The Spirit, not content to flit around on the surface, dives into the depths of God, and brings out what God planned all along.
Can You remember when you first heard that God Loved you, I Mean really heard it? I sure can i was a cold November day 24 years ago. I was at the bottom of my life. I had been having a dream that my friend & boss had a message for me. Thought it was strange but decided I was tired of it and went to him and in probably a rough manner said to him "you have a message for me and I want it" what happened next i would have never imagined. he said yeah but let me get alone with God and I'll get back to you. I thought this guy is crazy go talk to God. I believed there was a God and he had a son Jesus. Just didn't think or know He would or wanted to talk to us. He came back later and we went for a ride in his truck, he began to read from a piece of paper some scriptures he felt God told him were for me. When he got to the second scripture on the page something again happened that ii never imagined would happen when I got up that day. Jesus sat down in the truck between us and for the next hour or so loved on me. I;m not sure if my friend was aware of this because nothing else around me matter any longer. I got out of that truck a brand new creation that had never been before. No longer beaten down, no longer a drug addict or alcoholic. I was brand new and ever since then been helping others to come to a knowledge if we believe and confess Jesus as our Lord and Savior He will forgive us and help us begin the plan he had imagined for us from the beginning of time. Today help someone to else along this journey of a life they would never imagine would be possible. Be a blessing, Sir Gregory

Daily Vitamin -"Smile"
Smile
Psalms 31:16(TMSG)
16Warm me, your servant, with a smile; save me because you love me.
Psalms 31:16(NKJV)
16 Make Your face shine upon Your servant; Save me for Your mercies’ sake.
When someone smiles at you what happens? You smile back of course, have you thought of the other emotions that go with a smile before? Sometimes the lack of smiles in our lives really effect us. Like did your dad or mom smile upon you, your grandparents, teachers, boss the list can go on and on. Without smiles we begin to think something is wrong with us. I like the way the message puts the verse "warm me with a smile" As a new grandparent it doesn't get much better than when you walk into a room and your grandchildren light up with that warm smile. The same thing happens to Daddy God when we walk in to His presence He lights up with a grand smile. He will never deny you of that smile. In fact He loves you so much he scribed you in the palm of His hand. I can just see it every time He looks at His hands he sees your name and a Great big smile comes upon His face. As you go through your day today think of those around you that might not been getting those smiles from those in their life. That don't realize they are the apple of Father God's eye. Help them with a smile and help them to come to the knowledge that they do have a heavenly Father that loves them and has a great big smile for them. Be a blessing Today, Sir Gregory

Daily Vitamin - "Face"
Face
Numbers 6:24-26(NKJV)
24 “The Lord bless you and keep you;
25 The Lord make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you;
26 The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace.”’
God not only wants to bless you you, He wants His reflection to be on you. Now that should be our goal for everyone we come in contact with. God's countenance to be on us and to get on others. God spoke this to Moses and told him to speak it to Aaron and his sons so they could speak it to the people and put His name (God's) upon the people. He really wants us to look Him in the face. How many times do we hang our heads low when we think we are in trouble or don't want to answer a question? How many times do we tell our kids look at me? Do we tell others look at me to speak a blessing over them? We should be doing this daily, several times a day we should be speaking blessings over everyone we meet on our journey's through the day. Instead of cursing them, alot of the times we don't even realize what we are saying to people mostly because we don't get to know people, to understand them. Lets take time to learn about those God has brought into our lives and begin fresh this week by speaking life over those around you, speak blessing to them face to face. Be a blessing, Sir Gregory

Daily Vitamin -"Voice"
Voice
Proverbs 3:6(TMSG)
6Listen for God’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; he’s the one who will keep you on track.
Do we listen for God's voice in our everyday things? Who's voice are we listening to or what voice's? Here in proverbs it says if we listen for God's voice he will keep us on the right track of life. In the Living Bible it says "In everything you do, put God first, and he will direct you and crown your efforts with success" He will even crown our efforts, wow even in our attempts to please God we can receive His blessings. As we go through our daily routines we need to listen and look for God's activity and His voice, so we may adjust our way and join Him in what He is doing. Even our example Jesus said He could do nothing unless He sees God doing it. We should make this a mandate to only do what God is doing. Once we begin to do what He is doing He will direct your steps. Allow His Voice to guide you today as your being a blessing, Sir Gregory

Daily Vitamin -"Self"
Self
Colossians 3:10(NASB)
10and have put on the new self who is being renewed to a true knowledge according to the image of the One who created him
We have been made a new self brand new and the old self needs to stay buried and gone. Some of the other translations refer to this as putting on a new wardrobe or new set of shoes but it is way more than that. I like the analogy of a new fashion and the old is of no longer use or obsolete, but it applies that it can be removed and something else put on. Once we put on Christ it is for keeps He said He would never leave us or forsake us. Do we forsake Him, I pray not. Christ is not just a fashion statement that is new today and something we change next season. He is forever, over the years I have seen several trends or moves. waves of God, even in history we see were people have made a camp on a teaching around a move of God. Some have made denominations out of them. God is not something we do He is something we are. So have you really counted the cost of becoming new or have you put Christ on as a new pair of shoes or a new dress. Allow His Spirit full control today and be made a new self permanent maker not just a highlighter. Be a blessing today, Sir Gregory
