Hospitality
Hebrews 13:2(TMSG)
2Be ready with a meal or a bed when it’s needed. Why, some have extended hospitality to angels without ever knowing it!
How awesome would it be to have an angel show up at your door. I remember a time when someone probably thought my friend Bobby and I were angels. we were in Oklahoma City after a tornado had tore up a part of the town. Before we left to take supplies to those in need another friend gave us an envelope and told us they thought it was for a women. We assumed it had cash in it but really didn't know. we were there for several days asking God is the person or is that the person? never got a clear answer. On our last day we were heading back to Texas, still not know what to do with the envelope. We stopped at a neighborhood to walk through and see if we see who it was for. At the entrance the of the neighborhood was soldiers not let anyone in unless you had lived there. We explained to the guard what we wanted to do and he said sure go on in. As we walked around in our minds knowing this was our last chance to deliver the envelope. we saw lots of people digging through the remains of their homes. Then on the edge of the area was a house that wasn't totally destroyed. a lady was talking to some men who were working on her home. we both knew she was the one we were to give the envelope too. We walked up to the house and had to Knock on the door, the lady had went back in. when she came to the door she looked at us surprised! then we handed her the envelope telling her we felt God told us to give it to her. We turned around and walked off, with her telling us thank you. Then we could her saying thank you Jesus. we left that day feeling that we had probably been a God send to her in a time of need. She might even tell people that two angel came to her door and gave her the money she needed to do repairs on her house. I felt lead to share that story today. As we go through our daily routine how many times do we run into people or maybe even angels that God has sent our way, and we just brush it off until later we think hmmm... who was that, or what was that for? Sometime just being hospitable to a someone might be an answer to prayer or God seeing what you would do. Today ask God to send people your way that you can maybe be their angel today. he might even send you an Angel with skin on! Look for opportunities to be a blessing today, in doing that maybe just maybe you can be an angel with skin on today to someone in need. Be a blessing Sir Gregory

Daily Vitamin - "Well Done"
Well Done
Matthew 25:23(NKJV)
23His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’
How many of us yearn to hear those words. In our every day lives we want others to tell us that were doing a grand job, but do we do all that we should do to get them. Doing the right thing seems that its not the easiest thing to do. We don't want to look bad to others so we tell what we call little white lies, or we cheat on taxes thinking nobody will ever know or check. Sometimes we stretch out our stories to make us look better in other peoples eyes. knowing all along its not true. In the long run of life it is always better to be honest, caring, own up to our mistakes, to do the right thing even when it seems hard. Doing all that we know to do that is right then watch God do the rest. Once we have done the right thing and practice that always then God will really show up and knock our socks off. Like when the person at the store drops money and you tell them instead of putting it in your pocket, or when the cashier gives you to much change back.We are quick to point out when we are done wrong but do we do whats right when it comes to others.You can rest assured you can and will hear those words. By doing whats right all the time, not just when others are watching. Do the unexpected to others today ensuring that you will hear the words "Well Done" In doing things the right way you can enter int the Lords Joy. Be a blessing today Sir Gregory

Daily Vitamin "Training"
Training
2 Timothy 3:16-17(TMSG)
16Every part of Scripture is God-breathed and useful one way or another—showing us truth, exposing our rebellion, correcting our mistakes, training us to live God’s way.
17Through the Word we are put together and shaped up for the tasks God has for us.
Ever wondered why certain Scripture's, verses or even whole books are in the Bible? I have! like numbers and all of the genealogies some times it just seems boring, but when you look at the whole you can see the picture. All the begat this one to that one, was the brother of this one or the uncle of that person. Have begun to make sence to me, so we can see that the hero's of the Bible were just people like us. Not much different they had whack things they did or family members that seemed really out there. They were people just like us different times with different circumstances, all needing God to guide them through this journey of life. So every word was put in the Bible to help us train for the task that God had for each of us. We can train our bodies to do all kinds of crazy things, run fast, lift tremendous amounts of weight, jump high, but how many of train our minds to do what God has asked us to do. “It takes more than bread to stay alive. It takes a steady stream of words from God’s mouth.” (Mat.4-4) So lets begin training camp today on our knee's in God's presence. then spend time in the Scripture's to hear what he has for us today. Then we can be a blessing to those around us, Sir Gregory
Let today be ...
May today there be peace within.
May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilitie s that are born of faith.
May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.
May you be content knowing you are a child of God. Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.
It is there for each and every one of us.

Daily Vitamin -"Mountain'
Mountain
Matthew 17:4(TMSG)
4Peter broke in, “Master, this is a great moment! What would you think if I built three memorials here on the mountain—one for you, one for Moses, one for Elijah?”
How many of us would have liked to been there and what would we have said? I personally love mountains I like to climb them sit on them and look at God's beauty and His creation i even like to pray there. Jesus often went to the mountains to spend time with His Father. How about our Spiritual Mountain top experiences, man I love it when I seem to be on top of the world with God. We can't live there though, we have to come back down sometime. even in the physical world we can't live on the mountain top, its a great place to be but we need to come back down to the valley for physical nourishment. things generally don't grow on the mountain top the grow in the valley. So God give us time of refreshing with a mountain top experience so we can come back down and share our lives with others. To take the revelations He empowers us with and to help others to have some mountain top experiences Jesus always came back down the mountain refreshed then he would go back at times. he was on the mountain when the disciples were going through the storm. Take some time and enjoy Daddy God's presence, go to the mountain get refreshed and bring back some life for those around you! Be a blessing, Sir Gregory

Daily Vitamin -"Rock"
Rock
Psalms 62:6-7(TMSG)
6He’s solid rock under my feet, breathing room for my soul, An impregnable castle: I’m set for life.
7My help and glory are in God —granite-strength and safe-harbor-God—
When we think of rock what's the first thing that comes to mind? Probably not God, but all through the scriptures He is referred to as our rock. What is rock? When you look it up the definition is minerals. We use the word to describe all kinds of things, music, people, even use it as a slang word for something that is cool, or for a feeling. Little boys like to throw rocks. We wear rocks of all kinds. Some people worship rocks, others wash clothes on rocks. Our planet is made up of a lot of rock. We use rocks to build roads, houses, we use rocks every day.God wrote the commandments on stone(rock), He hid Moses & Isaiah in the rocks so that He could pass by. In the gospels Jesus spoke about the wise man building on the rock. When I think of rock, it's something of strength, hard, protection, solid. Then when I realize that God is all those things. He is my strength, my protection, my hiding place, my foundation so many ways God is My Rock in Him I shall trust. How many ways can you think of as God as your rock? Scripture even says it's better that we fall on the rock instead of it falling on us! I could give all kinds of examples about the word rock but i believe ii have given you enough to go chew on. Take some time today spend it with the Rock of your salvation Jesus. Then Go! and be a blessing to others, Sir Gregory

Daily Vitamin - "Meet"
Meet
Psalms 43:3-4(TMSG)
3Give me your lantern and compass, give me a map, So I can find my way to the sacred mountain, to the place of your presence,
4To enter the place of worship, meet my exuberant God, Sing my thanks with a harp, magnificent God, my God.
In a world of GPS, mapquest, google, guidestar. We still need to find the place were we are to meet with God. we say were going to this meeting or that meeting. We go to church sunday's sometimes wednesday but do we meet up with God there. How many times do we plan on meeting God? We make plans to meet friends, family but do we take time to meet God. In Isaiah 1:18 God say's come let us reason together lets talk it over, in other words come meet with me. If you read on in that verse your sins were red as crisom but they will be white as snow. Then in verse 19 He says if you are willng and obeinent you will eat the best of the land (one of my favorite verse's) the whole point is you need to meet with God. Sometimes we have more meetings about lots of things and get nothing done, if we would have a meeting with God then He would give us the strategies for all our other meetings. Take some time to meet with the CEO of your soul on a regular basis not just when things are tough or going bad. We tend to run to God when are lives are full of chaos or pain. I believe if we would take a Daily Vitamin of the Gospel with our Daddy God. We would avoid a lot headache's, heartaches, sickness and all the stuff that comes at us on a daily basis. Ink Time on your calendar for a coprparte meeting with God, Jesus and Holy Spirit, be a blessing today, Sir Gregory

Daily Vitamin - "Speak"
Speak
Acts 4:18-20(TMSG)
18They called them back and warned them that they were on no account ever again to speak or teach in the name of Jesus.
19But Peter and John spoke right back, “Whether it’s right in God’s eyes to listen to you rather than to God, you decide.
20As for us, there’s no question—we can’t keep quiet about what we’ve seen and heard.”
Ever notice how many times we have are commanded to use our vocal cords in scripture? Romans 10:10 says confess with our mouth Jesus is Lord. In Mark 11:23 the word say is used 3 times and believe is used once. There is power in the Name of Jesus and He has given those who have come to trust and believe in Him authority to use His name. Now how cool is that! We are told to call those things that aren't as they are. Even God spoke and there was light, water, earth, etc.. Peter and John couldn't help but to speak and do what they saw God doing. Jesus said He could do nothing except what He what he saw the father doing. My question to you is what is the Father doing? What does He want you to speak? Remember you have authority to speak on behalf of the King. Today use your voice and speak to the mountains, whatever they are be it cancer, worry, lack, doubt and tell them to go jump in the lake by the authority and power of the Name of Jesus that He has given you.
