THE FIRST INAUGURATION PROCESSION ON THE ROAD: 6/8 Travels with George: In Search of Washington and His Legacy, by Nathaniel Philbrick. https://www.amazon.com/Travels-George-Search-Washington-Legacy/dp/0525562176/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= When George Washington became president in 1789, the United States of America was still a loose and quarrelsome confederation and a tentative political experiment. Washington undertook a tour of the ex-colonies to talk to ordinary citizens about his new government, and to imbue in them the idea of being one thing—Americans. In the fall of 2018, Nathaniel Philbrick embarked on his own journey into what Washington called “the infant woody country” to see for himself what America had become in the 229 years since. Writing in a thoughtful first person about his own adventures with his wife, Melissa, and their dog, Dora, Philbrick follows Washington's presidential excursions: from Mount Vernon to the new capital in New York; a monthlong tour of Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island; a venture onto Long Island and eventually across Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina. The narrative moves smoothly between the eighteenth and twenty-first centuries as we see the country through both Washington's and Philbrick's eyes.

EAGLE OR CHICKEN? THE EAGLE RENEWS, THE CHICKEN BECOMES DINNER The average life span of an eagle is about 70 years. That is a long time for a bird of prey to live. However, at about 40 years of age, the Eagle has some life-threatening things he has to deal with. His decisions now will determine if he gets a second chance at life. By now, the Eagle's beak is old and useless, and their claws are worthless for hunting. Add to that the feathers that are old and thick and not doing their job anymore. The Eagle decides to fly to the high mountain, where he begins his renewal process. He beats his beak against the rocks until it falls off, and another grows in his place. He scratches until his claws fall away, and new ones come in their place. When that is done, he pulls all of his feathers out, and a fresh new crop of feathers comes back in. This process takes 150 days. Then, a new life begins for another 30 years. The price the Eagle pays is the same one that you and I face as we process through the different stages of revelation and maturity into the place God called us. If we don't have those agonizing challenges of removing the old, we will never receive the new and fresh in its place. Old habits. Old family traditions and immature revelations of who God is and who we are. The Holy Spirit will point out those things to us if we expect to have that next season of life and spiritual growth. If we don't do these things, we become chickens, and you know what happens to them at dinnertime. Don't let this society or the enemy of your soul eat you for dinner.

LOVE AND MARRIAGE, THE FOUNDATION OF THE NATION Happy anniversary, Dr. George and Arlis, number 56. How did the number get so high so quickly? It seems like only yesterday, as they say, that this all started. Many of you have heard my favorite story of how the Lord led me to meet my darling wife. A small church in a remote town on the coast of Washington state. Sunday dinner and a picture on the mantle turned my life around and set me on the course of 56 years of joyful marriage. As you know, if you've been married for a season, some of that joy has to be acted out by faith when you go through struggles and adjustments. Put the investments you give to a marriage more than compensate for the rewards that come back to you over your lifetime. God said it is not good for a man to be alone oh how true that is. Love and marriage is the foundation of a nation. Because God-centered families are based on the commitment of a husband and a wife to each other, children who obey their parents strengthen their communities and their nation. Ephesians 5:21, the apostle Paul tells us, out of our reverence for Christ, to be supportive of each other in love. Thank you, Jesus, for loving families because of the love a man and a wife have for each other. YOU CAN GIVE HERE: http://www.georgewatkinsministries.co...

TAKE YOUR REVELATION OF GOD, THE FATHER OUT OF THE BOX Understanding the Trinity, a divine mystery, requires a revelation that only the Holy Spirit can bestow. In our quest to comprehend this profound truth, we are often confronted with the diverse opinions of gospel teachers. How can our natural reasoning, shaped by our western minds, grasp the concept of three in one and one in three? In the 17th chapter of the Gospel of John, Jesus prayed: “so that they all may be one just as you father are in me and I and you that they also may be one in us so that the world may be leave and be convinced that you have sent me.” This prayer is a profound revelation of the unity within the Trinity. Indeed, this is one of the most potent verses in the Scriptures, a testament to the power and unity of the Trinity. Yet, we often find ourselves walking in a lack of understanding, unaware of the immense power and unity that is available to us. Consider this: just as the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are one, a unique blend of unity and diversity, so too can we, in our spiritual journey and love for the Father, become one with them. This unity is not just a concept, but a reality we can experience. Then Jesus goes on to pray that we would be one with the father, the son, and the Holy Spirit. This unity creates a divine community, a 'four in one' relationship, which is truly amazing. You and I because of redemption have been taken back into the heart of the father, and we are one with the father son of a Holy Spirit. Wow.!

EMPTY TRASH CANS Gone gone, gone gone. Yes, my sins are gone. Buried in the deepest sea. Yes, that's good enough for me. I shall live eternally, praise God; my sins are G O N E gone. Some of you may have sung that song in Sunday school, but I know I did. It took a few years to understand the Father's love for us and what Christ did on the cross to realize the full meaning of that simple song. Yesterday was trash day in our neighborhood, and as I drove away from my house this morning, a gray can was in front of every house as far as I could see. In the spirit of God spoke to me and said empty, trash, cans, son. I knew he reminded me of the power of the cross to remove the stain of sin and the curse that went with it. The phrase from that song Buried in the Deepest Sea. It refers to the scriptures that tell us God has buried our sins in the sea of his forgetfulness, never to be remembered against us anymore. Just think about the mystery of how God could empty our trashcan and make us worthy of becoming children of the living God. YOU CAN GIVE HERE: http://www.georgewatkinsministries.co...

THERE IS NO REVERSE TO THE KINGDOM OF GOD-IT JUST KEEPS EXPANDING In Matthew 6 from the Passion Bible, Jesus teaches the disciples how to pray. We call this the lord's prayer. We should refer to it as the disciple's prayer. Our beloved Father, dwelling in the heavenly realms, May the glory of your name be the center on which our lives turn. Manifest your kingdom realm, And cause your every purpose is to be fulfilled on earth. We acknowledge you as our provider of all we need each day. Forgive us the wrong as we have done as we are self release, forgiveness to those who have wronged us. Rescue us every time we face tribulation, and set us free from evil. For you are the king who rules with power and glory forever. Amen. Then Jesus goes on in the 14th verse And when you pray, make sure you forgive the fault of others so that your Father in heaven will also forgive you. But if you withhold forgiveness from others, your Father with holes forgiveness from you. What you have just read is part of the bylaws of the kingdom of God that Jesus came and established. As we learn to live by the principles of the kingdom, that we belong to, it keeps expanding and growing every day. There is no reverse on the kingdom of God.

THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE BREATH OF GOD Take a snapshot of Genesis 2:7. There, we see Adam's creation when God breathed the breath of life into him, and he became a living soul. That was the beginning of God's new creation of mankind. God commissioned this new creation to take what they had in the Garden of Eden to the rest of God's creation, including the cosmos. Adam and Eve were created in God's image with the ability to reproduce their kind into God's newly created world. The great tragedy of Adam and Eve's failure in the garden was that it short-circuited God's plans to manifest himself and the very spirit of heaven into this created world. Over the following centuries, there were several restarts where God gave mankind the opportunity to do it again. The most obvious to us is when the flood came, and Noah and his family had the opportunity that Adam and Eve had to reproduce, subdue, and bring heaven to Earth. Again, at the Tower of Babel, where the nations were scattered, he gave Israel the unique distinction of taking this same commission to the world. He took them as his special children so they might reproduce as Adam and Eve were supposed to do on Earth. However, the children of Israel kept failing their commission, and because God was merciful, he gave them many opportunities to get it right. This is why God was manifested in the flesh of Jesus of Nazareth, who became the sacrifice that redeemed the world back to God. The whole human race had been disconnected because of rebellion and the breaking of covenants. When Jesus rose from the dead and ascended to the Father with his blood, the entire human race was released from the curse that had been brought to them by Adams's fall. The gospel that we know and love has been given to us so that we might declare to the world. They are free to come home. Dad's not mad at you.

Mount Vernon's historical status was secured by George Washington's ownership, but its full history cannot be told without examining the other people who lived here. Sarah Johnson, first living enslaved at Mount Vernon and later emancipated, saw the change in Mount Vernon from family home to national treasure. We discuss this story with Scott E. Casper, author of Sarah Johnson's Mount Vernon: The Forgotten History of an American Shrine.

BORN FOR THE STORM Are you looking for a boat to go fishing? I suggest you get one that can withstand a storm. Do your research to see if it was made to resist High Winds and rough Waters. It needs to be constructed strong enough to withstand the pressures and dangers of the storm. In this life that God has placed us in, he promised us that there would be storms in our lives. However, he spoke piece to us when he said to be unafraid, for I will never leave you, nor for the sake of you. I love the story of Peter walking on the water with Jesus in Matthew 14. The disciples were caught in a sudden storm and had rowed the boat four miles in the middle of the night, trying to rescue themselves from danger. Suddenly, they saw what they thought was a ghost walking by and cried out in fear. It was then they heard the familiar voice of Jesus when he said fear not. It is I been on afraid. One thing you can guarantee about a storm. It always brings fear at some level. Because you and I were made in God's image, we have built-in storm-resistant capabilities. We were born for the storm. One thing to remember about the storm is that it offers great opportunities for miracles and unusual supernatural events. In the storm, Jesus showed the disciples a level of supernatural power they had never seen when he said to the storm hush be still. They were fearful and deeply amazed at the same time. It was in the storm that Jesus appeared. He challenged Peter to enter into a supernatural realm, which he had never experienced before when he walked on the water. Because we are supernatural beings created in God's image, we have been born for the storm, and some of us are storm chasers. We have discovered that it's in the storm where our most incredible faith and revelation come from. YOU CAN GIVE HERE: http://www.georgewatkinsministries.co...

DO YOU KNOW JESUS IN THE PRESENT? It's a simple question that I am asking today, and by doing so, I am bringing our attention to what it means to walk in the light as he is in the light. When we learn the practice of being in his presence as a daily habit, we know what it means to know Jesus in this present time. Too many Christians know the Jesus who walked the shores of Galilee, healing the sick and feeding the 5,000. They have gone to Sunday school and learned where he was born and how he died. They are well-versed in the Jesus of the past. On the other hand, a disproportionate number of people study the Jesus of the future—the one who is coming someday to rescue them and take them to heaven. There are lengthy and repetitive teachings on the end times and what will happen someday, somewhere, somehow. It's not unusual for Christians to tell me. Oh yes, Pastor, someday when we get to heaven, we'll have joy, be at peace, and be healed. The challenge that the Holy Spirit gives us is to know Jesus of the present. The Scriptures tell us plainly today is the day of salvation. That word salvation includes everything that Christ has done for us to be saved, healed, delivered, and walk in the power of the Spirit. This is what it means to know Jesus in the present, To have fellowship with him, and to see him face-to-face often. There was a historical Jesus who lived and died in Jerusalem and produced redemption for us. Thank God for that. There is a Jesus who will return someday, as the Scriptures promise. Thank God for that. However, God chose to give you and me the responsibility and privilege of bringing the gospel to this generation, and because of that, we must know him now.

HEAVENLY GOLD, DISCOVERED BY THOSE WHO SEEK HIS FACE The revelation of Jesus Christ and what he has done for us and through us is the greatest discovery you will ever dig out of the Scriptures. That revelation does not come from the wisdom or the intelligence of human thinking; it comes from the revelation of the Holy Spirit to our spirit. Heavenly gold has to be mined out of the Scriptures just like earthly gold is dug out of the dirt and rocks. And as it is in the natural, so it is in the spiritual that heat must be put to the rocks and the dirt to refine the gold so that it may be useful. Heavenly gold is no different. To receive revelation from the scriptures you read, you must apply the heat of the glory of God's presence to understand the hidden secrets of God's kingdom. Isaiah 45:3 tells us that God will give us the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of the secret places. Psalms 91 says that we must dwell in the secret place of the most high to receive the revelation of those hidden places. Where is the secret place of the most time? It is in the presence of the Lord as you seek his face in prayer, worship, scripture, meditation, and the Fellowship of the Saints. All those practices will produce a place of glory, where those hidden riches in the Scriptures can produce gold treasures of revelation that will impact your life for eternity.

WHAT LABEL DO YOU LIVE UNDER? What's wrong with this picture? The Protestant Reformation happened around 1500 years ago. It was a separation from the Catholic Church based on Martin Luther's revelation that the "just shall live by faith" and not by the rule of a church or under the control of a pope. Today, 30,000+ different labels of groups of people are trying to express what a Protestant is. That's a lot of heavy bondage on the body of Christ. Unfortunately, human nature was still in control, and it wasn't long until the protestants wanted to kill the suspected heretics just like the Catholics had done. It was the same Spirit that Jesus contented with when the disciples came to him in Mark 9:38 and complained that someone outside their camp was casting out devils. They're anxious question to Jesus was we've got to do something about that. Jesus had quite a simple rule about unity. He answered them and said well, fellas, if they're not against us, they must be for us, so leave them alone. In 1906, there was an outbreak of the Holy Spirit in Los Angeles, California, on Azusa Street. A black man named William Seymour received the Holy Spirit while he listened to reports of it in a Bible school in Texas. Coming to Los Angeles, the Spirit of God fell on them, and a prayer meeting in their home, eventually moving into an old Mission on Azusa Street. It was like the shot that was heard around the world. The outpouring of the baptism of the Holy Spirit, with speaking in tongues and all the gifts of the Spirit that were manifested, literally went around the world from that humble mission house. Unfortunately, human nature took over again, and the first separation happened in the Pentecostal movement when the black brothers and sisters were shoved aside. They started a fellowship called the church of God in Christ. From that point in time, it seemed that labels began to be important to the Spirit-filled folks. What started with one outpouring to describe Pentecostalism has splintered into literally hundreds, if not more, of labels that people live under. At some point, if we're going to see the kingdom of God advance, we must have one label: Jesus Christ and him alone. True fellowship is with the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Everything else is secondary. YOU CAN GIVE HERE: http://www.georgewatkinsministries.co... WEBSITE= http://www.georgewatkinsministries.co... FACEBOOK=https://www.facebook.com/FaithProduce...

AT EVERY CHALLENGE, GOD CHALLENGES, THE CHALLENGER-WE WIN BY DEFAULT The key ingredient in living a life of faith is exercising the muscle called obedience to the word of God that has been revealed to you. The revelation of the word of God is different than the information in the Bible. The scriptures tell us that faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. Rom 10:17 When Jesus said to those around him," he that hath ears to hear, let him hear." He was referring to that inner ear, the ear of the spirit, which gives revelation of the word of God. When you hear with that ear and respond to what you hear, faith is born in your heart, and you receive what God has promised in the word that you Heard. Romans 10: 8-10 illustrates this action of faith: when you hear and believe, you receive salvation and eternal life. From that point, your faith grows stronger each time you will be what you hear with your heart, that inner ear. When we have that foundation of trust in the Lord, we know that when the enemy comes against us to challenge us, God challenges the challenger, and because of that, we win by default. Isaiah 59:19 declares that when the enemy comes in, like a flood, the Lord raises up a resistance against that enemy. King James's version of that verse says he raises a standard against him. The standard is the battle flag of an army showing their colors. When God shows up with his angel army, the battle is over. He challenges the challenger, and because of that, the one who challenged us never shows up to court, and we win our case by default. That is what the life of faith is based on: trusting in the Lord with all of our heart, and not leaning to our own understanding, but in all of our ways acknowledging him, and he will bring it to pass.

POCKETS OF WISDOM AND REVELATION Why do some people in a large or small gathering who are listening to the word of God not hear the same thing? After a life of pastoring multiple churches, it's still beyond frustrating that someone can sit in the same congregation, hear the same message, and miss the point completely. I conclude that the problem is not in the seed that's sown; according to the Book of Mark, the fourth chapter, it's the ground that makes the difference. Jesus repeated this phrase many times: "He that has ears to hear, let him hear." That tells me that everyone has the ability to hear, but they also make choices about whether to hear. In the thousands of church services I have conducted, someone has a breakthrough, a revelation of heaven, a divine encounter, yet the one next to them walks out the back door, angry at God and the church. Jesus chose 12 disciples to train and leave the kingdom of God in their hands. These 12 disciples sat with him after the mass crusades, and he taught them the secrets and mysteries that no one else heard. The large crowds didn't get it, but he gave the inside revelation to the disciples. Judas was present at all of these private meetings, where the Son of God opened up the mysteries of heaven, yet he missed them completely. Wisdom and revelation of the kingdom of God and his purpose for us continually come from the heavenly realms. It's like digging for gold, these pockets of wisdom and revelation. The most important tool we have to dig out this precious gold of heaven is the instrument of "believing faith." To receive anything from the treasures of heaven, it takes a believing face in God and his word. The Scriptures tell us that without faith, it is impossible to please God, for he that comes to him must believe that he is and that he is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him. Wisdom and revelation of the kingdom of God are there. Get your big leaving face out and find it. YOU CAN GIVE HERE: http://www.georgewatkinsministries.co...

NOW THAT YOU HAVE ASK HIM-DO YOU RECOGNIZE THE ANSWER? The scriptures clearly tell us that if we ask anything in prayer believing, we shall receive it. That being true because the Scriptures do not lie, how many times can we ask for the same thing without being in unbelief? I know that we always have the illustration of the woman who was dealing with the unjust judge. Because of that, she kept coming back until he, out of frustration, gave her the answer. According to the scriptures that Jesus gave us, it does not represent my heavenly father. Our heavenly father is so tuned into us that he hears us before we ask, and while we are speaking, the answer is on the way. That's fast, real fast, even faster than Amazon. So, here's my question: now that you have asked, how are you expecting to recognize the answer? You may have asked him to open your eyes so that you may see more clearly into the spiritual world. Or you have, perhaps, asked for wisdom, the spirit of wisdom to give you an answer to a problem. And, like most of us who have asked to hear from the Lord what we should do for the moment. Here are a few reminders from the Scriptures on what Jesus has said about asking and receiving. Matthew 7:7: ask and you shall receive, seek, and you shall find knock, and it shall be open onto you. For everyone who ask will receive. Wow, that's pretty good. Luke, 1110; Everyone who asks and keeps on asking receives, and he who seeks and keeps on seeking finds, and to him who knocks and keeps on locking the door shall be open. AMP That sounds definite to me. So here's my encouragement to you today. According to the scripture, your answer is already there, but perhaps you still need to recognize it because you expected it to come a different way.

WHAT'S NEXT FOR US IN THE BODY OF CHRIST? HERE'S A FLASH FOR YOU! You can expect change. It is part of God's nature that he injected into everything he created. If it's not growing, it's dying. You can see that principle working in your garden or the landscape around your house. What isn't rooted in healthy soil is on the way to being a dead plant. The plan of God has continued to grow in the long journey from Adam and Eve's creation in the Garden of Eden to the present. The parts of that plan that lost their roots in every generation of past history died and disappeared. Today, we face the same challenges that every person in the body of Christ had to deal with: Do we grow and develop into God's will and exhibit his plans, or do we fade away into the shadows of history? What's next for us as people of God and those who believe in the plan he laid out for the human race? It's a twofold answer. First of all, it's an individual choice. What will you do with the challenges? God has given you as a believer. Secondly, people from all over the world have to make the same choice. If those communities of believers continue to obey the direction that the Holy Spirit has given them as part of the living organism of Christ on earth, they will see Christ's revelation unfold for them. However, those communities of believers that stagnate and turn into a religious denomination will not become stones to walk on so that we may progress. Still, they will become stones to trip over and hinder the Progressive progress that the body of Christ has before it. Sorry, you don't get the details in advance. That's between you and the Holy Ghost. That's why it's called the walk of faith. That's what keeps the Holy Spirit as the leader of the pack.

GOD DOES NOT TEMPT ANYONE The original sin of Adam and Eve seems to set a standard for others to follow. Two things stand out that have been identifiable throughout history. Number one, I am a victim. Number two, it wasn't my fault it was yours. Listen to Adam as God is confronting him in the garden. "He said, "This woman you gave me, she caused me to sin." Our society today has certainly taken that to new heights. Everybody is a victim, and it's not their fault—everything from the government, climate change, the Republicans, the Democrats, and the preacher. Of course, we tend to blame God when we mess up. Some say God knew what I was going to do, so why didn't he stop it? It was probably God who tempted me to see if I would fail. Just to set the record straight. The book of James 1:13 tells us, "God does not tempt us with evil. But every man or woman is tempted by their desires." Because that is true, we must focus on the Holy Spirit's work within our soul and thought life. If we don't take control through the Holy Spirit's power within us, our thoughts will dominate and lead us into a trap that will eventually kill us. (James 1:13 paraphrased) Of course, the answer is not mind control or self-discipline. The only thing that works long-term is total submission to Christ. It is because of our submission to Jesus Christ as our Lord that our hearts are filled with the goodness of heaven and the presence of the Lord. This is why the Scriptures tell us, " Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks." The flesh or natural man can never be trusted without the control of the Holy Spirit. It's because of the Holy Spirit that we have those wonderful fruits of love, joy, peace, temperance, goodness, etc. YOU CAN GIVE HERE: http://www.georgewatkinsministries.co...

I WILL WATCH OVER WHAT I HAVE PLANTED As I was preparing myself for my night, watch and a good nights sleep, I heard the voice of the Lord that said,” I will watch over what I have planted.” Then I realized that the spirit of God was not talking about himself, he was talking about me. An uncomfortable portion of the Christian community depends on God to do everything for them. Most of us in our early days of prayer spent our time directing God to go do this or do that. Somehow our prayers sounded like a traffic cop directing traffic in a busy intersection. However, when we begin to understand what happened at the cross in the resurrection, we know that we are now coal laborers with our heavenly father. When Jesus ascended to the father, he said he would send the Holy Spirit who would be your helper. Many of us may think that the Holy Spirit helps us in our personal life only with problems and pressures. I believe the scriptures clearly tell us that the responsibility for this earth, and the way it functions has been turned over today men and women of faith who represent God, the Holy Spirit, but Jesus on this earth. So in the spirit made this statement; “I will watch over what I have planted.” It was my voice speaking to my self, being reminded of the covenant that I have with the Lord Jesus himself to stand by the stuff that I have planted. Remember your prayers. Remember your prophecies. Remember his promises to you. It is our responsibility to stand by the stuff stay on the wall be the watchmen through intercession prayer declaration, and a strong faith that God will bring to pass what he has promised us, and what we have planted.

As the public became aware of Ella Jones disappearance, the Mount Vernon Police Department receives information on a possible suspect's identity. The person was already said to possibly be a male named "Keith." Investigators also determined that Ella Jones may have used a "RideShare" service when she left her home. RideShare services are not prevalent in Ella Jones area, so Mount Vernon Police were able to narrow the search and locate a ride share Jones may have used. Investigators identified a man named "Keith" who ordered a ride share for Ella and his address in South Haven Michigan. The FBI reaches out to Van Buren County Michigan Sherrif's department about a possible suspect named Keith Freerksen with an address in South Haven Michigan possibly being involved in the disappearance of a 14-year-old girl in Mt Vernon, Washington. Van Buren County Sheriff Daniel Abbott says his detectives investigated the possible suspect location and identified the car suspected of transporting the 14-year-old girl 2,000 miles from Washington to Michigan. After obtaining a search warrant, Sheriff Abbott says they waited for the suspect vehicle to return to the property before executing the search warrants. Sheriff Abbott says as the detectives watched the property, they noticed there are three homes on the property and several people are seen in the residences. The suspect was identified as one of the people in one of the residences on the property. Detectives coordinate with the local uniformed police officers in marked cars to roll in with them and execute the search warrant . Having executed the search warrant, all individuals on the property were separated so detectives could begin the interview process. The suspect immediately told detectives the 14-year-old girl was there on the property. Once the suspect was read his Miranda rights, he lawyered up and stopped talking The suspect is 30-year-old Keith Freerksen, a convicted sex offender. Sheriff Daniel Abbott says the Freerksen spoke with and groomed the victim online over an extended period of time before she took a ride share to the suspect's home in Michigan. Keith Freerksen was arraigned on nine charges: two counts of trafficking a minor, three counts of third-degree criminal sexual conduct involving a minor, one count of first-degree criminal sexual conduct, one count of accosting a child for immoral purposes and two counts of using a computer to commit a crime. He faces up to life in prison if convicted.

OPEN DOORS, OPEN HEAVENS The 10th chapter of John is an amazing revelation of Jesus as the door to eternity and heaven's glory. The Passion Bible says it this way in the ninth verse. (Jesus said) I am the gateway; to enter through me is to experience life, freedom, and satisfaction. Nicodemus came to Jesus in the dark of night because of his reputation as a spiritual leader. When he asked Jesus how he did the miracles, Jesus told him that to understand, you have to have a new spirit and be born from above. Being a religious man, steeped in the traditions of the elders, Nicodemus could not catch the depth of what Jesus was teaching him that night. Jesus was talking about entering another world, a doorway that you can enter by faith through his name. When that takes place, you are reborn from above. Because of that, you can understand spiritual mysteries and walk in the lord's ways. As believers in Jesus Christ, we face many doors on our journey, all of which will open by the same action of faith that the first one begins with believing in Jesus and the redemptive power he gave us because of the cross of the Resurrection. Matthew 7:7 Jesus said to ask in the gift is yours seek, and you will discover knock, and the door will be open for you. For every persistent, one will get what he asked for. Every persistent seeker will discover what he longs for. And everyone who knocks persistently will one day find an open door. P/B Press into Jesus, my friends, be persistent, and keep knocking; the door will open, and you will experience the kingdom of God beyond your imagination.

KEEP GOD ON THE THRONE AND JESUS AS THE DOOR How far can we go with the revelation and insight that we get from dreams or prophetic words that we receive from the Lord? What is the rule of thumb, as they say, to judge whether we are hearing from God or having a vain imagination? Most often, someone will answer that question with this statement. If it's not in the Bible, it's not true, so we must throw that revelation away. As we have this thought today, let's keep in mind that most of what we do in life is not in the Bible, at least in the detail that some say we need. For instance, there is no chapter and verse for who you will marry or what job you should take next. When I was pastorimg with my Father in Sacramento as a teenage preacher I was challenged by a Hyper spiritual teenager that I shouldn't drive a car because Jesus didn't drive a car. OK, you've got the point. Some things have the principles in the Bible but not the exact details. Concerning dreams and prophecies, let's also keep in mind that Jesus said there was much more that he wanted to teach us and that the Holy Spirit would bring the things he had taught to our minds and spirits. Without a doubt, the Bible is the blueprint, the pattern, and the roadmap that takes us to our destiny. It's my experience and my opinion that you can only read that roadmap with the Holy Ghost interpreting it. That's where dreams, prophecies, and angel messengers come into play. All of these things that I've just mentioned and found through the Scriptures are various actions of men and women, just like you and me, who seek to please the Father. So, I am trying to figure out what to do. I've prayed all night, and when I go to sleep, I get a dream. In the dream, God tells me what I couldn't hear while awake. It's evident to me that the Bible is an expanding book of revelations, depending on how we hear and see with our spiritual eyes and ears. Some read the Bible and go to sleep, while others read it and see far beyond what the page in front of them says. Here is the key to keeping myself safely anchored in truth, as God speaks to me about things others may not agree with but believe are from the Holy Spirit. I keep God on the throne and Jesus as the door in everything I do, everything I say, and everywhere I go in the spirit. My feet are on solid ground as long as those two unshakable truths are in place. YOU CAN GIVE HERE: http://www.georgewatkinsministries.co... WEBSITE= http://www.georgewatkinsministries.co...

IDENTIFY THE THIEF AND GET IT ALL BACK Among the many lessons I've learned while walking with Christ is that this experience is multifaceted. Nothing in the spiritual world is built or works on a set of principles you can carry in your notebook and pull out when needed. The Christian Life and the mysteries of this beautiful, supernatural world are like the computer. It's all there, ready to go, except you need a password to make it happen. The key or password is not simply faith or belief. If that were the case, anyone could manipulate their own Life by training themselves to believe. The key to Christian Life is believing in Christ, his finished work on the cross, and his resurrection. When that happens, you step into his world and become joined with his Life, so when you identify a thief, you have the authority to get it all back. We tend to want a formula of faith that we can use without a relationship with our Father in heaven. Remember, Jesus did nothing but what he saw his Father doing. This Christian experience is a training ground for an eternity of working with our heavenly Father in the cosmos he has created for us to develop and fill with his glory. The things that steal from us in this temporal Life are just practices for our faith and our trust in our heavenly Father to grow and mature. David was destined to be Israel's greatest king because he would establish the kingdom through God's direction. Before that happened, he had to go through his Ziklag experience in First, Samuel 30, where he and his men lost everything they had. So, The next item on the agenda was that they were going to kill him. When David reconnected with the Lord through worship, God told him to pursue his enemy, and he would get it all back. It's time to hear the Holy Spirit's direction on capturing our destiny and getting it all back. YOU CAN GIVE HERE: http://www.georgewatkinsministries.co...

HAVING A HEAVENLY CONVERSATION WITH JESUS Some years ago, while traveling through the East Coast in ministry, we visited Williamsburg, Virginia. Williamsburg is one of our history's essential places where our forefathers gathered and formed our early America. They have replicated or restored the old town to look like it did in the 1700s. All of the workers in town are dressed appropriately for the age they represent, so it turns out to be a fascinating and fun place to be. At one point, our tour guide pointed to a second story on a building across the street. She said those who gathered would go there after dinner and have a good conversation. I thought to myself, what would it be like to converse with the type of men with the wisdom and intelligence to form the first nation of freedom in history? Then, I added several other people I would like to have a good conversation with. People of renown, inventors, preachers, etc. Then, I was brought to the meeting that Nicodemus and Jesus had in John three. Nicodemus missed a conversation with Jesus about heavenly things. Why did he miss such a life-changing opportunity to speak to the Son of God about spiritual mysteries? According to Jesus's own words, Nicodemus could not understand natural things. Because of that, Jesus would not even take him into the realm of spiritual things because he would also miss the understanding of that. Scriptures tell us that we can see God in all his creation so that no one would be without excuse. The heavens speak of him, indicating that the stars are set in a position and order so that they have a message that speaks of God's creation and his love for mankind. So, where do we start if we desire to have a conversation with Jesus? You begin with "believing faith." Jesus said, if you believe in me, you'll have everlasting life. That's the very reason God sent his only begotten son into a natural world so that we could start believing in what we could see in Jesus. When we do that, the heavenly things open up.

DO YOU TRUST HOLY SPIRIT AS MUCH AS GPS? Guidance is the main issue of life. From our earliest memories, someone is trying to tell us where to go and what to do. Obviously, in a well-structured home that God placed you in, your mother and father are the first instructors. They tell me that young children learn what they will do 95% of the time in the first five years as they grow older. They also say that training happens at their mother's knee. In the early Jewish tradition, the young sons were trained by their mother until they were seven, and then their father took over to teach them a trade they would do for life. So guidance is a big deal in the life of the believer, you, and those who have given themselves to Jesus Christ. Yet, in all of the years I have pastored, the most repetitive question I got is," What do you think God has in store for me." Or a variation of the same question concerning life's journey. Learning to hear the voice of Holy Spirit, and trusting to be obedient to what you hear is a muscle you exercise until it strengthens. It's similar to the young child who is learning to walk. Getting up and running would be very unusual for that young child. So it is in learning to listen to Holy Spirit's direction with the same confidence you have in your GPS on your precious iPhone. To be clear, I have been led astray several times by GPS but never by the Holy Spirit. There have been times when my hearing could have been better when he spoke, but he never led me down a dead-end pathway. Sometime today, take time to meditate upon Psalms, the 23rd chapter, and let God reassure you that he will lead you beside still Waters and pathways that are good for you.

AND IT CAME TO PASS-THE SEASONS IN OUR LIVES Happy New Year, everyone. Here we are in 2024, and we have no idea how we got here. It seems just like yesterday when much of the church was all concerned about Y2K and the end of things. The hotels were all sold out in and around Jerusalem, expecting Jesus to break through the Eastern gate. The secular world was concerned about the computer crash because of the change in the century date. Satellites were going to fall out of the sky. Elevators wouldn't work in the giant towers, and the stock market would crash because of the Computer failures. And yet here we are 24 years later, listening to the same rhetoric of doom and gloom and damnation, destruction, death, failure, and hopelessness. Brother, that sounds like good news. Not! The good news is that all of these have been seasons in your life to prepare you for the days ahead that God has promised and will fulfill. If you think the Holy Spirit will fail in doing what he has been commissioned from the Father, then you have some lessons to learn. The Lessons are simple. God never fails and never gives up until the plan is fulfilled and complete. This new year that he has given us to shape and conquer with our prayers and faith is a precious gift that he has entrusted to those who are faithful to stand in faith and prayer for his kingdom to be established on this earth. I am not ignorant of what's happening in the natural world around me. However, I am more sensitive to the spiritual world that controls the natural world, and that's where you and I come in. We are members of the body of Christ, and we sit in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. And from that position of authority, we have the ability and command to subdue, dominate, and rule this world. This is a new season for us. It's the season of victory. Call it what you will: revival, renewal, or a divine reset. 2024 WILL BE AN AMAZING YEAR FOR THOSE WHO ARE IN CHRIST JESUS.

YOU DON'T DRINK POND WATER Jesus said, If you drink from Jacobs well, you'll be thirsty again, but if anyone drinks the living water I give them, they will never be thirsty again. For when you drink the water I give you, it becomes a gushing fountain of the Holy Spirit, flooding you with endless life! ( John 4:14) p/b This may shock you when I say that reading the Bible without the Spirit of God, anointing the words you read, is like drinking stale pond water. This is the reason they can use the Bible as a textbook in the universities without the results you would expect. In other words, scripture reading only can become vain repetition. Believing faith is what turns that stale pond water into a living river that will give you endless life. You cannot act on the scriptures to obey them without the Holy Spirit, inspiration, and drawing you to the Father. This is the mystery of salvation and the grace of righteousness given to us freely. Unless the Holy Spirit speaks to you through those scriptures, you will never see past the ink upon the page. John 6:63 Jesus said the words that I speak into you they are spirit and they are life. Many of you reading this have had this experience often as you meditated upon the scripture that you have read hundreds of times. Suddenly, it's as if the paper changed, and you read something different because your spiritual eyes opened up, and you look past the page into the revelation Christ was bringing for that moment. That's the difference between pond water, water, and river water. You don't drink pond water because it's dead. There's no life in it. River water cleanses itself as it flows along, producing something good for you. So it is with the words printed in the Bible in front of you. It takes the Holy Spirit to turn that into living water for you as you take it into your spirit. Trust him to do the work in you. YOU CAN GIVE HERE: http://www.georgewatkinsministries.co...

THE ALTERNATE WORLD WHERE YOUR SPIRIT DWELLS? Forty-five years ago, I brought my young family to a small farming community 60 miles north of Seattle to pastor a fledgling church. Our town is in a valley nourished for centuries by river water overflowing and depositing an excellent rich soil. 95% of our industry is farming. We grow a wide variety of vegetables, including fruit trees and various grains. However, we are known Worldwide for our tulips. For centuries, the nation of the Netherlands dominated and controlled the tulip industry. At one point in their history, at the height of a "tulip bubble," one bulb sold for the price of a house. With worldwide migration, some tulip growers found their way to our small valley. For the last three decades, we have been competitors to the Netherlands, sometimes passing their output of tulips. Every year in the month of Easter, 250,000 people drive our little country roads, taking pictures of tulips and buying sacks of bulbs to take home. The point of this trip down memory lane is to bring your attention to what makes all of this possible. I drove out across the valley a few weeks ago, and I'm always amazed at how they can take a piece of ground that is so ugly and make it flat and smooth before they plant it with a new crop. They go through the ground with several different types of plows. Once a year or so, they will take a deep plow that will go down several feet, bring up the soil, and turn it over so the hidden nutrients will be on top again. Then, they take one special plow after another, breaking it down until it is ready to plant. I have brought your attention to all of this for one purpose so that you would take your deep plow through Ephesians in the first, second, and third chapters. If you do that, I'm convinced you will see something you've never seen before, even though you have read it many times. The message the Holy Spirit wants to say today is how real your life in the heavenly realm is. According to Ephesians, your spirit dwells in another realm—some call this "bilocation" where we live in two places at once. These are the mysteries that God wants us to search out and understand. Let's plow through Ephesians in these next few days to see what God will reveal to us. Today is a good time to start. YOU CAN GIVE HERE: http://www.georgewatkinsministries.co...

JESUS CAME TO THE WHOLE WORLD AND FOUND ONE OUTCAST WOMAN We just sailed through another Christmas season, celebrating the coming of the savior of the world as a baby in the manger. But there is a reason why the Bible does not record the adolescent years of Jesus, except for one episode, when he was 12 in the temple. We jump from that description of that young 12-year-old and the priest he interchanged with to a 30-year-old man walking up to John the Baptist to start his destiny God sent him to fulfill. As interesting as it may be to know the daily schedule of a five-year-old Jesus, the Holy Spirit excluded that on purpose so that we would focus on the main reason that God came in the flesh in the form of Jesus of Nazareth. John 3:16 tells us that God's only begotten son came to redeem the world and everything God created. We spend the next three years watching Jesus through the eyes of the four gospels, healing the sick, raising the dead, and feeding the hungry. Jesus came to the whole world and found one woman, an outcast woman by the well outside of town. If there ever was a snapshot of our heavenly Father's heart toward his children, you see it as Jesus sits alone, ministering to a broken woman. Christ came to save the world, but it always starts with one lost soul that needs redemption. Jesus was a walking billboard for God, the Father, because he said everything I do is because I see a Father doing it. As excellent and beyond imagination, as it was to see Jesus heal entire cities. His real work started when the stripes were laid on his back, and they marched him to the cross. We shout and cheer when the sick are healed, and how wonderful it is. But heaven rejoices, and the angels rejoice. When one lost, child of God comes back to the Father, because Jesus went to the cross, rose from the dead, descended into hell, and led those captives out. He spent 40 days downloading the kingdom of God into the disciples. Then he ascended to the Father and now sits by his right hand, speaking on your behalf against any accusation. The baby Jesus in the manger is an important start, but let us not be stuck in a never-ending circle. As the Scriptures tell us, we should be like Jesus and go on unto perfection.

POLITICIANS NO LONGER SPEAK OF WASHINGTON: 4/8 Travels with George: In Search of Washington and His Legacy, by Nathaniel Philbrick. https://www.amazon.com/Travels-George-Search-Washington-Legacy/dp/0525562176/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= When George Washington became president in 1789, the United States of America was still a loose and quarrelsome confederation and a tentative political experiment. Washington undertook a tour of the ex-colonies to talk to ordinary citizens about his new government, and to imbue in them the idea of being one thing—Americans. In the fall of 2018, Nathaniel Philbrick embarked on his own journey into what Washington called “the infant woody country” to see for himself what America had become in the 229 years since. Writing in a thoughtful first person about his own adventures with his wife, Melissa, and their dog, Dora, Philbrick follows Washington's presidential excursions: from Mount Vernon to the new capital in New York; a monthlong tour of Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island; a venture onto Long Island and eventually across Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina. The narrative moves smoothly between the eighteenth and twenty-first centuries as we see the country through both Washington's and Philbrick's eyes. 1921 MT VERNON
