from pastor Rich Allcorn 

The GOD Whom we serve is an awesome, great and mighty God!  His power is beyond anything you could ever imagine!  Remember that the next time you choose to give up, or admit failure.  GOD's kids don't quit!

YOU are a child of GOD, joint heirs with Jesus, the Bible tells us.  That means that "you" inherit all that HE (Jesus) inherit when HE rose from the dead!  He did it for you!  This was HIS intent all along ...  receive it!

For some odd reason, Christians have taken on the idea that we are in a lifeboat, waiting to be "rescued"!  Man, if you ever wanted to shame GOD, that would be the way to do it!  HE sent HIS SON, to die in your place, to make untold countless options and spiritual gifts available to you, so that YOU could go in HIS name, just as HE did when HE was in the Earth!  GOD expects you and me to "BE" just like HIS SON Jesus was, while HE was here! 

Recently, I saw a post on Facebook asking folks, "If someone came to your door and confronted you with the option of denying Jesus, or coming with them to be executed, what would you do?"

I was shocked at how many Believer's ... Sons and Daughters of the Most High GOD, were willing to just put out their hands and be cuffed and go to be executed!  Now, I'm not saying that they should deny Jesus ... but to give up?  That makes me want to throw up!!!! 

As I read that post that day, something inside of me came "ALIVE" and began to boil up inside of me!  Suddenly, I found myself posting this: 

My answer:  Neither 

I would say, "How dare you speak to a prophet of Almight GOD in such a manner!  Bow down on your knees before HIM, left the next few moments be the last that you breath!" 

Folks, WE ARE ABSOLUTELY USELESS to GOD if we die!  There is no honor in bowing low and being led away!  Jesus did that because it was in GOD's Plan.  HE was to be "our sacrifice"!  YOU are not the sacrifice, but the champions of GOD, carrying forth HIS power and HIS Word, to deliver the captives and to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ ... to the World!! 

So, from now on , when you get up in the morning, "shake yourself" like Samson used to do!  Stir up that anointing of GOD in your life ... and SHOUT with a LOUD VOICE: 

"DEVIL!  LOOK OUT!   I - AM - AWAKE!" 

Let him do some worrying for a while!!
