Parting Words

Parting Words

God morning! Welcome to the Spanduvilous Dailies with me David Mitchell II on this thirsty Thursday April 22, 2010. I am sad to say to day is the last message from the Spanduvilous Dailies. I appreciate everyone’s support, but now I have to get to working on some other things for the Lord. Hopefully I will be back soon. I would like to apologize for the lack of consistency, but I am only one man. I do not have a team of people working for me. In closing, I would like to thank everyone for his or her time and patience. I hope the little bit I shared with you all made a difference in your lives as it did mine. From the bottom of my heart I love you and I thank You. So until next time my friends remember to keep God first, God bless, and be a blessing. That is your wealth!

Raining Down Righteousness

Rain Down Righteousness

God morning everyone! Welcome to the Spanduvilous Dailies with me David Mitchell II, on this hump day Wednesday April 21, 2010. When the think of God raining down on us, we normally think of the Him raining down the blessings which in our minds equates to something physical or material to get us through whatever situation or circumstances that we currently are facing. But I am here to tell you something greater than the material rains down. Not only does it rain down on us it also grows around us. And to up the ante He will open up the earth and make sure it takes root and bares fruit around us. This anointed, God grown, thing is called righteousness. I know you understand what righteousness is, but you may be wondering how is it better than a physical blessing? If Righteousness is a state of being, how can that over shadow the blessing, right? Well step back from the situation for a moment and receive this. Righteousness is a state of being. It is a just, virtuous and morally upright. In essence it is a presence. His presence. Meaning He is raining His presence down on you, letting it take root, then splitting open the earth to grow salvation and more righteousness/ His presence all around you. Thus your situation has no choice but to change due to the fact that He is present. Furthermore, with the new growth of salvation and righteousness they will bare new fruits in your life and more importantly can pollinate others around you. So stead fast through the drought and be ready for your season of the raining down of His righteousness. Please read Isaiah 45:8 NIV

You Heavens above, rain down righteousness; let the clouds shower it down. Let the earth open wide, let the salvation spring up, let righteousness grow with it; I, the Lord, have created it.

Proper Rest

Proper Rest

God morning everyone! Welcome to the Spanduvilous Dailies with me, David Mitchell II on this Tuesday April 20, 2010. More than ever now we are too busy doing so much that we forget the simpler things in life and ignoring some of our necessities. We are constantly being pulled in seven different directions all at once. If it’s not the kids it’s the dog. If its not the dog is the husband or wife. I mean we even put so much into our careers and worked so hard that we forget to even eat that day. Then there are some that are so enthralled in what God has told them to do, they are so drained they’re about ready to pass out. Why are we treating ourselves like this? What are we doing? Rather what are we not doing? One of the most important things that we need to do, that we think is insignificant, is properly rest. You can be doing all of this hard work and pushing your feeble body to its limits and in the end not be able to enjoy the fruits of your labor due to the fact you didn’t let your body heal properly. Oh and I hear some of saying now” I’ll rest when I die”, well that may be sooner than later if you don’t give your body its restoration time. God has set this into the process of nature. We are defying nature’s natural order an hurting ourselves in the process. We can hit the grind hard, but at some point without the rest we need the grind will hit us just as hard. Of what help can you truly be to an organization or God’s purpose for you if you are only operating at about 75-80% all of the time? Why not get the proper rest at the proper intervals and work on the constant bases of 100%. Your rest is as just important as your work, remember that. So go ahead and schedule the proper resting time in your planner and then return to work revitalized and refreshed. Please read Mark 6:30-31 KJV

And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told Him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught. And He said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: For there were many coming and goin, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.

Relationship in the Blood

Relationship in the Blood

God morning everyone! Welcome to the Spanduvilous Dailies with me, David Mitchell II on this Monday April 19, 2010. In life we are taught many things some good and some bad that is camouflaged as good. Many people were taught certain things by tradition and some of those teachings have become outdated, wrong, and vain. Often times when we are earnestly seeking a relationship with Jesus, we must unlearn what we were taught growing up. A person can memorize a thousand and one scriptures and still not have the relationship with Him. It’s just like when you move to a new area of town or a new city and you start searching for a new church. There are some churches you just can’t go to. You find that a lot of pastor were never called to be preachers, they are only doing it for their own personal selfish reasons, for money, or for title and class. These type of individuals may be over a church, but do not have a relationship with God and it is clearly evident in the congregation. I mean there is a big gap in the nourishment from what you are used to being fed. A pastor or person that is only teaching from the word is only teaching you from the surface. There is so much more that can be found in the bible through blood of the relationship. Only there can you find Jesus’ character and personality. There is where true understanding of His word is revealed. There is were discernment and conviction can come upon you because He is constantly in your presence and you can feel His where abouts while seeing His will clearly unfold. But you think you can stick with just what you were taught through tradition or hearsay you are sadly mistaken. So don’t be comfortable or content with your current state in Christ. Be hungry enough to want to grow. The precious relationship is found in the blood of Jesus and it is without a blemish. It is perfect. So lets move forward in the body to get to know Him a little better and watch how you life will change. Please read I Peter 1:18-19 KJV

For as much as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.

Any Takers?

Any Takers?

God morning everyone! Welcome to the Spanduvilous Dailies with me, David Mitchell II, on this Tuesday April 13, 2010. Are you or your mate the type of person that nothing is ever enough? Is it always more, more, more? I mean you give them what they want or need and it still isn’t sufficient to their taste or liking. There are a lot of takers in this world who don’t know when to stop taking and are never satisfied. So if there’s an individual/individuals in your life like this please pump the brakes, throw in the towel, and raise the white flag. It’s time to stop being treated in this manner. Stop being their footstool or doormat. It’s time to stop being taken advantage of just because people know that you are a giving person. Hear is one thing you need to understand givers, no matter how much you give you will never be able give enough to the ungrateful person/ people. Those takers will take as long as you are giving. Quit playing the fool. Secondly quit making excuses for them why thy just keep sucking you dry. You know saying things like “They would do it for me, They’re going to pay me back, or They love me.” PU-LEEZ!!! Hate to burst your bubble, but if they would do it for you they would be doing it right now for you. If they were going to pay you back they would have already paid you back the last time. If they loved you they wouldn’t even treat you in this manner, because love doesn’t have a take attribute. Love has a GIVE attribute. SO let go of all the excuses they’ve made and the ones you’ve made. Cut off or out those takers and save those resources for yourself. Since you are a giver, I know it’s hard for you to receive sometimes, but give to yourself occasionally. If anyone deserves it it’s you. Just give enough to satisfy the soul. Please read Proverbs 13:25 KJV

The righteous eatheth to the satisfying of his soul: but the belly of the wicked shall want.

Who Am I

Who Am I

God morning everyone! Welcome to the Spanduvilous Dailies with me David Mitchell II on this Monday April 12, 2010. Today’s encouraging word is plain and simple. When God calls us to do His will or if our purpose and destiny are revealed to us we always ask the question, “But Lord who am I to do this?” There are two things we need to notice in this situation. First, Even though this may not seem that important it is, we should understand and realize that the fact we had to ask this question we know its from God. Because if it were from the enemy it would seem like we can do it on our own without God’s help. And we know that God wouldn’t give us our destiny or purpose that we can do without His might, His Grace, and His mercy. The Second thing we need to notice is when God reveals His plan for our lives is that He chose us. WE should be honored that He trusts us that much to carry His work out. We must trust in His Trust and not falter or waiver in His decision. The grander the purpose the more trust He has in us to complete it. Because His bigger plans are the more intricate, more stressful, more joyous, and more important to the body of Christ. In addition we need to understand along with His trust this is whom he called us to be. SO this huge destiny that HE laid in our lap is what will define our lives here on earth. So lets forge ahead trusting the Greatness that God has put over our lives and begin to bring forth the change He so desires. Please read Exodus 3:11

And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?

Don't Force Me

Don’t Force Me

God Morning everyone! Welcome to the Spanduvilous Dailies with me, David Mitchell II, on this TJIF Thank Jesus Its Friday April 9, 2010. Don’t give authority or responsibility to someone who doesn’t want it, because in the end you will only be disappointed. Even though they are capable don’t entrust them with such tasks. Due to the lack of passion for that role the outcome will be lack luster and not thorough. And vise versa, Don’t let any one give you authority or responsibility that you are not ready for or have no desire to do. Example, So quit trying to force your husbands to do that project you KNOW he doesn’t want to do. Quit trying to get wife to go along with your plan that you KNOW she doesn’t believe in. When a person has these types of reserves, big or small, we need to back off and put God in charge of that responsibility. Guess what, If He’s in charge what will happen, is what needs to happen. God may soften your husbands heart to do the project that you so desire or He may bring revelation of your idea unto your wife that will ignite her enthusiasm that she didn’t even realize she had. SO lets stop forcing individuals into a corner to do our bidding, but bring God to the forefront and let Him put everything in order. Please read Judges 8:22-23 (KJV)

Then the men of Israel said unto Gideon, Rule thou over us, both thou, and thy son, and thy son's son also: for thou hast delivered us from the hand of Midian. And Gideon said unto them, I will not rule over you, neither shall my son rule over you: the Lord shall rule over you.

Blind Faith

Blind Faith

God morning everyone! Welcome to the Spanduvilous Dailies with me, David Mitchell on this Thursday April 8, 2010. Have you ever felt that you were blind to God’s will and plan for your life? To you, you can’t tell if you are on the road of destiny or destruction, but you just stand there on that road begging to those who pass by to answers what this life holds for you. The longer we are in this state the more discouraged, frustrated, self-destructing, and even suicidal we become. Then in our despair, a glimmer of hope passes by. You ask your friends and family what was that that just passed by, but all they tell you is something negative and discouraging; the exact opposite of what you felt. They tell you what the people of the world’s standard of comprehension of what is possible in life and then tries to force-feed it to you, because you trust their advice. Don’t get caught in the quicksand of circumstance that all of your friends are in and have been since you’ve known them. Don’t let THEIR limit of faith dictate your outcome. Hold fast to your faith. Let the faith in that glimmer of God that passed you give you a newly restored radical faith that will force Jesus to notice your plight. Know what you want from Him and remind Him of His promise to you, because if you didn’t do this while on the road toward those promises, that’s why your sight became hazy then blinding. But due to your faith you will be able to see immediately his will in all of its perfection. After this, those same individuals with the limited views of faith will stand in aw of what Jesus has done in your life and will hopefully be moved to grow further in Him and not becoming jealous of you alls relationship. Please read Luke 18:35-43 KJV

And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging: And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant. And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by. And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me. And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me. And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him, Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight. And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee. And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.

Obtaining Balance

Obtaining Balance

Hello again! I’m Sonya Waddell and I bring you greetings. I think achieving balance in our lives is key in this time and era. Balance is the key to life. Picture a weight scale for me with both sides on the scale evenly proportioned. In order to have balance we must set our priorities in order. What is priority in your life? Is God a priority? Before you leave your home for work do you have intimate fellowship with God? Have you thanked him, prayed, and worshipped him. Are you studying the Bible which is a road map for our lives. Or are you to busy? I personally don’t even feel right if I leave the house and haven’t spent quality time with him. Spending time with God before your day begins sets the tone for your day. So now that we have talked about our spiritual priority let’s move on.

I want you to ask yourself some questions because as women we sometimes say “yes” to often and to soon. We are nurturers by nature and we want to help everybody. My motto is, “If helping you hurts me then I can’t help you.” And I don’t feel guilty about it either. So do you find yourself regretful a lot because you said you would do this or that for someone? If so, check your priorities. The 2nd priority should be you, yes you. Are you rested? The bible says, “Come unto me those that are weary and heavy ladened and I will give you rest.” Sometimes you made need to take a powernap which will restore your soul. How is your health? Are you working out like you said you were going to? Are you eating properly drinking enough water? Taking “me time”? Are you walking in your purpose or taking the steps to fulfill your purpose? You know the saying if mama ain’t happy then nobody is happy. You must take care of yourself ladies. If you are married your 3rd priority is to your husband and making sure his needs are met. I’m nor just talking about sexual needs but quality time, etc. And if you have kids then they are next, other family members are 4th. God has an order and sometimes as women because we are so busy we forget the order.

Okay so now that we are clear on order, How do we really obtain balance? First make sure that you are not giving too much attention in one area, tipping the scale and ignoring or neglecting the other areas. Make a “to do list” and schedule what day you will accomplish the task. Please set realistic goals. Another important point I want to make is, if you are going to obtain balance in your life they are going to be some things or people you will either have to give less time to or things or people you will need to cut off. Now I’m not talking about a spouse or kids. But some people will drain you and if they are not doing anything with their life they will want you to ride on the train with them. If you are working on a certain task and the phone rings ignore it and set a time to return calls, check e-mail, etc. We lose balance when we give too much attention to things and people that are not connected to our purpose. The only time I get on Facebook is when someone sends me a message. When you are busy working on what God has called you to do you will find yourself talking on the phone less, textingless, IMing less, Facebooking less, My spacing less, etc. Listen to all of that I called out. The devil’s tactic is to get us distracted so we will lose our focus. Stay focused. Facebook, You tube, etc, has nothing to do with my purpose but it gives me a break and allows me a short period of time to connect with people. But I will not be on there for an hour or hours at a time. So if that is a necessity to you schedule that also on your “to do list” and the time allotted for that task. Remember no area in your life should have all of your time, balance the scale, and always keep God first. Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you. I have to go but I hope that helps. Please read Matthew 6:33 and Matthew 11:28 KJV.

Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you

Come unto me those that are weary and heavy ladened and I will give you rest.

In Motion

In Motion

God Morning everyone! Welcome to the Spanduvilous Dailies with me, David Mitchell II, on this Tuesday April 6, 2010. Well folks today I would like for you all to look at yourselves and honestly ask, am I in “Motion” and what kind of motion is it. Now motion is defined as the act of moving, but I want you to look at it in a different way. In your current state there are all types of “Motions” you can be in while in the act of moving. For instance, are you “Emotional”, constantly moving form one feeling to another, never being stable, and constantly making irrational decisions off of how you feel? Are you causing a “Commotion” in your current environment; always into trouble or drama is always swarming around you. Or is that you are in “Demotion”; you sit there helpless as everything is moving out of your possession to some elses like the loss of your job, your marriage, or your home. Now you may be going through all of these “Motions”, but I would like to remind you of the best “Motion”. The type of motion that only God can truly put you in and that is “Promotion”. He will take from your current state as you are and move you to the next lever by the integrity of your heart and the skillfulness of your hands. That promotion you want comes from your dudillegence and steadfast in the faith in God. So don’t get discouraged about all those other "Motions" that blur your vision just make sure you stay focused on the greatest motion Promotion, because out of all of them we know that one is truly from Him. Please read Psalms 78:70-72

He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds: From following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Isreal his inheritance. So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided them by the skillfulness of his hands.

Loose in the Earth

Loose in the Earth

God Morning everyone! Welcome to the Spanduvilous Dailies with me, David Mitchell II, on this Monday April 5, 2010. I hope everyone had a Happy Easter and didn’t get into it with any CME folks. You know those individuals that only go to church on Christmas, Mother’s Day, and Easter. Anywho, in our day-to-day actions everything is being accounted for and accumulated. Every positive and negative thing we loose in the earth is also loosed in Heaven. What are you loosing from within? Are you loosing good deeds, love, and God’s word, or are you loosing negativity, slothfulness, and anger. How you are and how you act matters now. Don’t wait until you come to the later of your days before you loose good things. Loose them now. I can only imagine what it would be like on Judgment Day and the Lord takes you to the room where our life’s loosing are. Then He turns to you and says “Look, here are your works on the earth.” Will we be terrified by a horrid site or overjoyed with peace. From there would be the proof of your judgment. This is what I can only imagine. So from here on out saints please speak good tidings, God filled words, and bleed on the earth a joyous heart with the love pent up in your bosom. Please read Matthew 16:19

And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Action, Response, Action

Action, Response, Action

God morning everyone! Welcome to the Spanduvilous Dailies with me, David Mitchell II, on this TJIF; Thank Jesus Its Friday April 2, 2010. Happy Good Friday and Easter to everyone. Today I just want to talk briefly to you about what the Lord has done for us. I’m sure you have all ready know the story that He died and has rose on the third day with all power. That same power is just as awesome now as it was back then. And I don’t know if you know it or not, but Jesus designed it so we can tap into that power too. I’m going to share it with you. IN order for us to do this we must do three things. The first thing is we must perform an action. His power is contingent on us. IF we never act on the things that we desire nothing will never come. If we never step out on faith, ask Him, or move in obedience His power cant be activated. The thing we wanted will just sit in our faces with a million and one obstacles in front of it. Now most people can easily do the first part, but some people stumble when it comes to the second part. The second thing is that it has to go through Him. Through Him all things are possible. Your action was to get you up moving and everything that is going through Him is the response to the action. Meaning if it is going through Him it’s anointed to be opened up to you. Now here is where a huge percentage of people get lost, overwhelmed, and stopped. They forget that they have to perform the first step again to complete their desire. They have to perform on action again after He has answered the call. After that door was open now we have to walk through it and not be satisfied just that the He opened it. Lets quit standing in porch of our destinies and desires and walk in it. Please read Matthew 7:7-8

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

April Fools

April Fools

God morning everyone! Welcome to the Spanduvilous Dailies with me, David Mitchell II, on this Thursday April 1, 2010. Today is April FOOLS day and I would like to specifically point out a lot of people how have foolish thinking. Now I’m not calling you’ll a fool, I’m just saying some of you all are a little foolish. Anywho, I know everyone has heard the statement “Don’t use the Lord’s name in Vain” before. They are basically saying don’t call on Him if you don’t need Him and don’t perverse His name. Now what I mean by perverse is like saying you are manipulating peoples heart by using His name for your own personal gain. Or when a person knowingly lying and says “I swear to God.” Just defiling His name just to get over on someone. Those who do this hold nothing sacred. This is totally unacceptable. Then over the years the terminology of the curse “____ Dammit” has become acceptable by society. What is going on? Every time I hear someone say it, it just rubs me the wrong way. Now that curse has even evolved into changing “God” to “Got” so that person can still use that curse and have the excuse of “ I’m not saying God… so I can use it.” NO you can’t. Just because you replace His name with another word the context and meaning still stands, thus you still used His name in vain while cursing God. Some of you or may not may remember this, but it’s just like back in the day as a kid you used to try and say “Dang” in front of your grandparents and they almost flipped. You caught a backhand to the mouth so quick it was ridiculous. Even though you switched “Dang” with “Damn” they were the same thing and you were still punished. So you had to remove it from your vocabulary altogether. The same goes for this. SO lest stop being April fools and Yearly fools for that matter, and use the Lord’s name properly; so it’s power will be appropriately distributed. Please read Leviticus 19:12 and Exodus 20:7 KJV

And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the Lord.

Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

Purpose

PURPOSE

God morning everyone! Welcome to the Spanduvilous Dailies with me, David Mitchell II, on this March 31, 2010. Well folks it’s Hump Day, but more importantly it’s Women’s Wednesday and today we honored again to have again an awesome woman of God Ms. Sonya Waddell that’s going to deliver a word from the Lord to help us get over that hump. So without further a due, here’s Ms. Sonya Waddell. I used to think that I was here on earth to become educated, get a good job, marry a God fearing man, have 2.5 kids, and have a nice house and that was it. Boy was I mistaken! So I challenge you ladies today and ask, Why are you here? What has God called you to do in the earth to build his kingdom? Jeremiah 29:11-13 says, “For I know they plans I have for you declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” So if you don’t know your purpose it’s okay because God does and he says to call unto him, he will listen, seek him and you will find him. Very rarely do people automatically know there purpose. So you must ask your creator what is it that He wants you to do in the earth. In Isaiah 45:10 it asks, “What have you brought to birth?” The vision, dream God has given you is it dormant and still in the womb or have you brought it to life. Ask God to reveal your purpose and get busy. Time is running out. We wake up some days and don’t even know what season it is, they are earthquakes, floods, tsunamis, and animals are roaming wild in the streets. For those who know there purpose, are you walking in it? Or working on the steps to fulfill your purpose? Do you have a plan? Do you have a support system? Trust me you will get discouraged, frustrated, agitated, irritated, and want to throw in the towel so keep people around you that can lift you up. Are you getting specific instructions from God on how to bring the purpose he has entrusted to you to fruition? Just some thoughts, have a great week and be blessed. Please read Jeremiah 29:11-13 and Isaiah 45:10 KJV

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. 12 Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. 13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart

Woe unto him that saith unto his father, What begettest thou? or to the woman, What hast thou brought forth?

Is Your Church Fit for Living?

Is My Church Fit for Living?

God Morning everyone! Welcome to the Spanduvilous Dailies with me, David Mitchell II on this Tuesday March 30, 2010. I would like everyone to take a moment to stop and take a look at themselves for a minute. Think about the church you attend. Does it look all run down with a vandalized sanctuary, broken windows, graffiti all over the pulpit, soiled pews, and a unbearable stench floating through the air? Or is it clean with everything polished and looking nice with a refreshing sent of the Holy Spirit? In I Corinthians 3:16 it states “Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.” So if our bodies are temples, why do we continuously trash it with alcohol, defile it with lustful sex, incapacitate it with drugs, burn it down with smoking and remove its foundation with bitter, selfish, hateful, negative thinking. How can the Spirit of God dwell in a place like that? How can the Holy Spirit call a place overrun with those problems home? Think of your body as a physical church, holy ground, made especially for the Lord to come and dwell in. It’s made for people to come unto it to receive a blessing and word from its minister. But if it’s all rundown, tattered and destroyed, no one will come unto it. It isn’t functional. Now let me lay this on you to. Earlier I said just a few ways we defile our temple by all these different acts right, and in that same scripture God said he will destroy that temple. SO where do you think all of those illnesses come from. They are the harvest of so many seeds that defiled His temple; Lung cancer, liver cancer, HIV, AIDS, tumors and so on. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m specifically talking about those individuals who abuse their bodies constantly not individuals that God is doing a greater work in for other reasons. So take a moment and check out your church grounds and see what type of renovations are needed before God just decides to demolish it. Hopefully you attend a church like the second described earlier and then you can go out and help a friend or stranger renovate theirs. Please read I Corinthians 3:16-17 KJV

Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

Half Good Advice is Bad Advice

Half Good Advice is Bad Advice

God Morning everyone! Welcome to the Spanduvilous Dailies with me David Mitchell II on this Monday March 29, 2010. First I again have to apologize for last weeks mishaps; due to my schedule change at work. But now I’m back on track and fired up for this week’s word, so lets jump right into it. During our maturation in life most of our teachers, mentors, friends and parents have almost always said the same thing when it come to getting what you want out of life. They said “If you want anything out of life you gotta work hard for it.” Now doesn’t that sound familiar? It's phrases like this that are throne around so carelessly which could throw a growing child’s mind down a difficult path in life without the second half of that statement. Most of them that have said those words are only repeating what was said to them many years ago, yet it may not have birthed any fruit as of yet. Ask this question. Has that methodology brought them what they so desired from back then? Are they living their dream? More times then none they are not. So why do we continue to give the half good advice which is ultimately bad advice that we where taught? Now don’t get me wrong we must work hard for the things we want, but the second part is the most important and it is always left out. And that is to seek God’s kingdom first and His righteousness before that thing that we so desire. All that we are looking for is already there, but due to the half advice and teachings we give our youth we ignorantly divulge the long or wrong path toward life's gifts. So next time we give anyone advice we need to make sure all paths start and end with Jesus. We need to make sure that all paths that we send them down drives them right through the His heart which will take them down the roads of uplift, process and eventually success. For that is the best excursion that they could ever go on toward their destiny and desires. Please read Matthew 6:33 KJV

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Salt of the Earth

Salt of the Earth

God morning everyone! Welcome to the Spanduvilous Dailies, with me David Mitchell II, on this hump day Wednesday March 24, 2010. Today I have come to see how much flavor you have. In Matthew 5:13 the children of God are called the salt of the earth. Why do you think He chose to call us the salt of the earth? I believe He’s saying that His children are sprinkled across the world to give the world the right amount of flavor and taste. Now that’s what salt is used for right; flavor. Lets look at the word flavor which is the best characteristic that describes salt. If you remove the letter “L” from flavor, what does that leave us with? Favor. Follow me now. If favor is in the flavor of salt, then it is safe to say that God’s favor is dispersed all across the world because we are the salt. Lets take if a step further, salt is added to food and is cooked with the food. So this is telling us that God’s favor is added to the situation, but it is also cooked with the fire of circumstances and tribulation; which will let His favor influence the taste whole of the situation. But, if we are NOT doing what GOD has ordained us to do then He really has no use for us. What I mean by this is, if we are not using the favor that He has put in us to give flavor to different situations then where can He actually use us? So we all need to make sure that the favor, that God has bestowed upon, still has its flavor and is ready to be added to every situation that taste bland to the Lord. Please read Matthew 5:13 KJV

Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.

The Wrong Wrestling Match

Wrong Wrestling Match

God morning everyone! Welcome to the Spanduvilous Dailies with me, David Mitchell II, on this Tuesday March 23, 2010. Today’s message is directed to those individuals who constantly are wrestling with the same recurring issues. They are the ones who are constantly falling into the same bad relationship over and over again. They are the ones who no matter what can’t stop him/herself from fornicating while in a marriage or committed relationship. They are then one who no matter how much money they get on Friday, by Sunday they don’t know where it went at all. These are just a few of examples that of some of the stronghold we face. At some point we must sop and say no more. WE must then recognize the reason behind all of the repetitious circumstances. We have to figure out that its not that person we are dealing with, but it is the evil Spirit that in consuming their evil way. Its not the that person can’t stop the infidelity, truth of the matter is the spirit that’s controlling them and is the reason for all they fornicating. Its not the person that is abusive toward is you, it s the spirit the rules them to lash out. The “Person” is neither the problem nor our enemy; it is the demonic spirits attached to them. So you need to get prayed up with your spiritual armor on, covered by the blood, and then pray like you’ve never prayed before and you call that devil by its name, rebuke it, and cast it out in the name of Jesus. Quite taking the wrong matches by wrestling with the wrong people and start pinning these evil spirit in your lives out of the ring from when they came. Please read Ephesians 6:12 KJV

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Rejection, Reaffirmation, & Application

Rejection, Reaffirmation and Application

God morning everyone! Welcome to the Spanduvilous Dailies with me, David Mitchell II, on this Monday March 22, 2010. Well folk I’m glad to be back with you with an awesome word from God that I’m sure will help you. Why is it when we are called to do the work of God we reject it at first. We didn’t hesitate at all. I mean we don’t even give it a second thought at first. We just immediately say “No not me Lord” or “ I think you got the wrong person for this here.” We are a trip. Many of us live upstanding lives and actually want God’s will to reign in our lives, but we blatantly deny His first attempt to answering our prays that will jumpstart our destinies. Then due to our fear we have the audacity to make Him repeat His self as though we didn’t hear Him clearly the first time. At this point most of us run from the call due to fear, the pressure of the charge/call, the high expectations, and the low spiritual self esteem. This then leads God to then reaffirm the call that He gave us before with additional words of comfort. These words will calm us down from the shock or the good news. They will stop us from running or at least slow us down and they will also be the driving force that will propel us into our call headfirst. Then finally you have the application. The application is two fold. First God will apply His blessing over our lives in order for us to perform His heavenly works. And two, we have to apply all of the wisdom, understanding, and knowledge that the blessing holds, toward our destined call. So friends don’t take the hard way of toward the call with all of the rejection and running. Take the easy way by accepting His call the first time He calls you. Then the quicker you get started the quicker you can possibly finish. And the quicker you finish the more time you have to enjoy the promise of the fruits of your labor. Please read Jeremiah 1:4-9 KJV

Then the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child. But the Lord said unto me, say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak. Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the Lord. Then the Lord put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the Lord said unto me, Behold I have put my words in thy mouth.

The Multitude p2

The Multitudes p2

God morning everyone! Welcome to the Spanduvilous Dailies with me, David Mitchell II. Well folks its TJIF! Thank Jesus Its Friday March 12, 2010! I so happy the weekend is here. Well we are on the second half of our mini series of the Multitude. Yesterday we briefly discussed the power in numbers and in the multitude, but we didn’t talk about what that power was. Well I have come to tell you what you lack is in the multitude. Especially if what you need is Jesus. For it states in Matthew 18:20 “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” So if you are in the multitude Jesus is right there in the midst of everyone and thus where your power lies. His power is there for healing, comforting, miracles, and blessings. Just like in the famous story of Jesus feeding the multitude. They came to be delivered, and healed. They excepted that and that is what exactly what Jesus did and He performed a miracle in there midst to feed all 5000 of them. He is the doorway of deliverance for all things and that doorway is easiest to find in the multitude, because there are more people with the like problems and going to the same destination. So if more people are needing to go through that doorway, then isn’t that doorway going to be larger and thus easier to find. I mean by the testimonies, one would be lead straight to and through it if their heart is willing and open to it. That is the true power of the Multitude. What do you think the church congregation is? It’s a multitude of people sitting at the foot of a man or woman that is hopefully ordained to speak the will of God into their lives. If there is power in prayer, wouldn’t it be better to pray in the multitude for your situation to change with the number of powerful prayers going up. So friends rest in that power Jesus that is constantly in the multitude. Please read Matthew 18:20 KJV and Luke 9:11-17 KJV.

Matthew 18:20 KJV
For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

Luke 9:11-17 KJV
And the people, when they knew it, followed Him: and He received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing. And when the day began to wear away, then came the 12, and said unto Him, Send the multitude away, that they may go unto the towns and country around about, and lodge, and get victuals: for we are here in a desert place. But He said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, we have no more but five loaves and tow fishes; except we should go and buy meat fall these people. For they were about 5,000 men. And He said to His disciples, Make them sit down by 50’s in a company. And they did so, and made them all sit down. Then He took the five loaves and the tow fishes, and looking up to heaven, He blessed them, and brake, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude. And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets.

The Multitude p1

The Multitudes p1

God morning everyone! Welcome to the Spanduvilous Dailies with me, David Mitchell II, on this Thursday March 11, 2010. We as the children of God deal with the inevitable problems and situations that constantly cause us to call on the power of God. But during these tuff times in our lives we often get scared and turn inward to isolate ourselves from the world. The Devil seeing our fear, frustration, and confusion begins to manipulate our minds to make that old mole hill look like a huge mountain. But I have come to tell you that God often does great works through His people and there is power in numbers. You may not know this, but when God does a spiritual shift in the earth, there are thousand going through exactly the same thing you are with just a different paint job on it. The multitude is moving in the same direction and to the same destination. But the Devil would have you to believe that you’re the only one going through this and know one else would understand. He’s attempting to divide the Body of Christ. So come out from behind the wall you’ve built. Reunite with the Body and openly talk about your hardships, problems, and situations; because I guarantee you there is someone around you that has a testimony that will help you with your situation. And there is someone around you that can learn from your situation. That is why you are going through it. Power is in the testimony and there’s power in numbers. So become apart of God’s multitude and tap into that power. Please read Exodus 3:7-8 KJV

And the Lord said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows; And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittieties, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.

Why Flawed

Why Flawed

God morning everyone! Welcome to the Spanduvilous Dailies with me, David Mitchell II, on this hump day Wednesday March 10, 2010. Have you ever stopped and pondered on the thought of why you are the way you are? Why do you have some physical features you just really hate or certain parts of your personality and character people just don’t understand or dislike? Are we being punished for the sins of our parents, forefathers, or did we sin in such a fashion that this flaw was bestowed upon us? I mean God is a PERFECT God in every since of the word, so if we were made in HIS image; why are we filled with so many flaws? Well I’m glad you asked. God made us with flaws to keep us humble and to be perfect in HIM and not ourselves. For if we were perfect, we would not call unto Him. Having these flaws is also a motivation tool for us to strive for better things in life and to overcome what we believe is holding us back. Our flaws are the fathers of change in our lives. You can either hate them and do something about them or you can love and embrace them while moving forward in your life. Finally we have all of these flawed filled ailments not as a result of our parent’s sins. Nor for the sake of our sins, but the most important reason for these imperfections is that they are the will of God and will be used for His will; in that set day and time. So either attempt to change those flaws if they are a hindrance or embrace them until its time for Jesus to work His blessing and your testimony. Please read John 9:1-3 KJV

And as Jesus passed by, He saw a man which was blind from his birth. And His disciples asked him, saying , Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.

Ahead of God

Ahead of God

God morning everyone! Welcome to the Spanduvilous Dailies with me, David Mitchell II on this Tuesday March 9, 2010. Well today I’m going to doing something a little different. Sunday my pastor, Bishop Dale C. Bronner of Word of Faith Family Cathedral Center, preached such an awesome word that I just had to share it with you guys. Out of all the many points of the sermon I’m only going to touch on two of them and of course it’s not verbatim, but the just of it I hope you will receive. He was preaching from Matthew 14: 22-33, but I will only be discussing 22-28. In the 22nd verse Jesus sent the disciples AHEAD of Him to the other side of the river. Me personally, beforehand I never thought anything of this portion of the verse, but Bishop found a great hidden jewel for us. He sent the disciples ahead of Him to place them in a STORM, in order for them to trust, believe, and grown in God. Just like in life Jesus will let us go forward in our free willed decisions, but little do we know that his presence is already at our destination. (i.e. His praying on the mountain top reached the other side before this disciples did.) In addition, even though God’s presence is all around us, even when we are terrified of storm of circumstance not knowing what to do nor which way to go. Then even when God is approaching us in the midst of the storm, we still shutter in fear questioning any and everything, even Jesus himself. Then Bishop Bronner shared with us a revelation of the word about the 26th verse. That even though we are in horrible storms in our lives, even though Jesus shows up doesn’t mean that the storm is automatically going to go away. When Jesus came unto the boat the Storm continued until He and Paul got into the boat. This lets us know that Every time we are in the thick of trouble He might not take away the trouble, but rest assured He will be by our side through the end of the trouble. Only through maturation will we be able to grow into the people God has ordained us to be. We won’t do any growing if He always removes the storms, because we will never learn how to master them. That is why He let us go on Ahead of Him so we can undoubtedly get ourselves into something and continually learn again how awesome He is. Please read Matthew 14:22-28 KJV

And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before Him unto the other side, while He sent the multitudes away. And when He had sent the multitudes away, He went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, He was there alone. But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary. And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea. And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear. But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.

Get Yourself Ready

Get Yourself Ready

God Morning everyone! Welcome to the Spanduvilous Dailies with me, David Mitchell II, on this Monday March 8, 2010. Let me ask you this, have you felt alone? Even if people are around you, they just don’t understand what you’re going through, even if you told them what’s going on. I feel like that often, and often I find myself roaming in circles trying to do the things God has for me to do. So how do we get out of these ruts? I find it most effective to go back to the beginning and start there. Retrace your steps and make sure what you did and what you’re doing is still on track for what God has for you to do. After that, we must get ready to step back out into the unknown. If we are following God’s will for our lives we are destined to do this for lifetime, but Get ready anyhow. God told Jeremiah to “Get Yourself Ready”, because he was going to see terrible things and be terrified in them. That was apart of his purpose. The Lord told him its going to be scary, but I am with you and will rescue you out of trouble. SO when we are alone in the misted of our walk in His will, we might be scared, we might feel alone, we might feel ill prepared and under qualified, but we can find assurance in the constant presence of God that will rescue us in our times of need. So after this reassurance, lets Re-Up and Get Ourselves Ready to step back into our purpose and His will as a strong fortified city which will stand against any and everyone obstacle. Please read Jeremiah 1:17-19 NIV

“Get yourself ready! Stand up and say to them whatever I command you. Do not be terrified by them, or I will terrify you before them. Today I have made you a fortified city, an iron pillar and a bronze wall to stand against the whole land- against the kings of Judah, its officials, its priests and the people of the land. They will fight against you but will not overcome you, for I am with you and will rescue you,” declares the LORD.

Love it Go

Love it Go

God Morning! Welcome to the Spanduvilous Dailies with me, David Mitchell II, on this TJIF. THANK JESUS IT’s FRIDAY March 5, 2010. Well we have finally made it to the end of the week in one peace. Thank you Jesus. Have you ever loved something or someone so much, but you had to let it go? I mean loved it so hard that you get sad just at the thought of them leaving or getting hurt. Just like us, I’m pretty sure our Father God didn’t want His son to come down to endure such persecutions and atrocities. Not saying He didn’t want us to obtain eternal life, but no father wants to see their children go through such hardships. But it was what had to be done. Because His love for the world was so great, and His son’s heart was so BIG that He could no longer sit on high and watch man self-destruct. So Jesus came to save all of us. And our gracious God gave His ONLY begotten son, meaning the only son HE physically birth from His loans with all power in heaven and earth. God loved Jesus so much to let Him go and do what was written. Just like when a parent is seeing their child off to college for the first time. Its hard for them to see their child leave when they are used to them being in their presence all of the time. But in order to save the thing God loved He had to let Go Whom He loved to endure life so that man could gain everlasting life. But let me tell you a little secret. The things that you are able to let go of that you love so much, God sees it as a sacrifice and it shall come back unto. It may be in a different form or fashion, but its essence shall return unto you and shall be with you forever more. Just like Jesus returned back to the Lords side. Sometime it comes back even better than it left. So if something or someone needs to be loosed from your life, let it go with love and one day love shall return it onto with the stamp of God. Because if its something you love and have to let go, normally God has some use of it and you are getting in the way by holding onto it so tight. Love it go and God will Love it back to you. Please read John 3:16 KJV

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Let It Shine: Nowhere to Hide p2

Let it Shine: Nowhere to Hide p2

God Morning everyone! Welcome to the Spanduvilous Dailies with me, David Mitchell II, on this Beautiful Thursday March 4, 2010. Well folks we are continuing in our little mini series Let it Shine. I have a question for you. Have felt like the odd person out in a crowd? Like you didn’t belong where ever you were at? Not saying that the people you were around were beneath you or anything, but they just knew you didn’t belong there. Or have you ever walked in a room and the ENTIRE room stopped what they were doing, in mid conversation, and turned around and looked at your entry into the room? Well this type of thing constantly happens to us because people can’t help but acknowledge the light when it suddenly appears. Just like if you were in a room, pitch back, minding your own business and someone suddenly turned on the light; you would immediately turn and see who turned on the light. It’s just like that when we walk into certain places. Even though people don’t know why they turn and look at you all crazy, they are subconsciously acknowledging the light of God within you blinding them. This light is and supposed to be a beacon unto the people. That is why us Jesus folks folk toward one another in random environments. We come to each other’s resonating light. So let you light shine upon the hilltop. Draw near the like in spirit to help you or visa versa. Draw near the lost so you can lead them unto back to the right hand of Jesus. When God has something for you there is nowhere to hide, for His light is inescapable. SO go and stay in the light and dwell with Jesus constantly. Please read Matthew 5:14-15 KJV

Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill can not be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.

Let It Shine: Wearing Your Spirit p1

Let it Shine: Wearing Your Spirit p1

God Morning everyone! Welcome to the Spanduvilous Dailies with me, David Mitchell II, on this Hump Day Wednesday March 3, 2010. Well folks we are back at it again thankfully today is little more consistent with our normal messages. I was wondering if you guys have ever seen someone and it seemed like they were just glowing or shining bright? I mean like they almost was glowing in a crazy way. Now I’m not crazy before you get to talking about me and I don’t take any hallucinogens, but what I speaking of is their spirit is SO beautiful that they are wearing the light of God. Showing Him off to the world and any one who wants to see. it It’s defiantly an awesome sight to witness. Now what does that say about you and I? Does your light shine visibly? I hope you guys see mine as I do these videos, but we need to take a good look at ourselves and ask how bright or am I letting my light shine? If it is shining can I let it shine brighter or am I hiding and keeping all to myself? We must share the glory of the light with one another and the world. SO friends stand up and let your light glow, shine, and go forth to abolish the darkness of the world. You are that light so please let it SHINE! Please read Matthew 5:16 KJV

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify you Father which is in heaven.

Give Up on Giving Up

Give Up on Giving Up

God morning everyone! Welcome to the Spanduvilous Dailies with me, David Mitchell II, on this Tuesday March 2, 2010. Well folks today’s message is defiantly different from our normal messages. Now, when I do these videos I really hope that they are always right on time, on point, with all of God and none of me. So with this message I truly pray that it reaches that person or those individuals that it is intended to reach in that same fashion of on point, on time, all of God and none of me. I’m sure many of you are familiar with the story of Job. Now most just now of how he was the wealthiest man on the face of the earth and that he was upright in all of his ways. Then God allowed the Satan to take everything away from him, (i.e. his wife, children, cattle, servants, health, friends) everything except his life. God dropped in my spirit last week this message and it was coupled with the fact that you, someone you know is contemplating suicide. Now that took me back for a minute. But I am begging you, who ever you are out there, even if I don’t know you or you don’t know me PLEASE be like Job and don’t give up. The devil is a lie. That is not the answer to your problems. Yes you may have lost your job, or sleeping from couch to couch. Yes your loved one may have died tragically. Yes you may be going through a divorce. Yes you may have lost your child. But the greatest thing I want to remind you that you have not lost is the LOVE of GOD. Satan only wants you to focus on all the negative, but God is right there with you with every loving every step of the way. He has never left you. Even if you can’t feel or see HIM, He’s there. I have to be honest with you, even Job wanted his life to be taken away after he lost everything, BUT since he SO relied on God, he forgot how to Give up. He didn’t know that he could take his own life. That wasn’t even an option for him. That’s how much he relied on God. He only knew that God birthed him and ONLY GOD could take him away from this world. NOT BY HIS OWN HANDS. PLEASE rely only on GOD for everything right now while you’re so frustrated and confused. God still has great things in line for you. You just need to get through this storm and be ready to receive what Jesus has for you. Don’t let the Devil cheat you out of your promise, because He already knows what’s in store for you. You must be destined for great things because if you were not you weren’t, then you wouldn’t be under attack and under so much stress. Yes, you may be heavy burdened, but instead of baring it yourself, share it with Jesus. That’s the reason the carried the cross. That’s the place we lay our sins and our troubles. That is truly what He wants you to do. Just give HIM a try again and GIVE UP on GIVING UP. Although this message is basically all of Job please read at least Job 1:18-22 KJV

While he was yet speaking, there came also another and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother’s house: And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee. Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground and worshipped, And said Naked came I out of my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave , and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord. In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.

The Beginning of Sorrows

The Beginning of Sorrow

God morning everyone! Welcome to the Spanduvilous Dailies with me, David Mitchell, on this Monday March 1, 2010. Today’s message is not like our normal messages, but it is defiantly needed. Now I know many have been saying the end is near, the end is near, for many years, but I would like to come and tell you unfortunately that the beginning is of sorrow is here. I’m not prophesying anything, I’m just looking at the current state of our world and comparing it to the bible and seeing what we come up with. I know that’s kind of backwards, but here me out you let me know what you think. In Matthew 24:1-11 Jesus talks to the disciples on the Mont of Olives privately and they ask Him about the end of the world. Jesus then goes on and tells them of His second coming and it reads:
“And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come In my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.”
Now I would like to just point a few things that we need to take into consideration if theses are clear warnings or not. If many shall come saying they are Christ, well I don’t know if you noticed how many false preachers, pastors, bishops, popes, evangelists, missionaries, and some on that are out there in the ministry for the wrong reasons leading those who follow Christ into the pit of destruction. There are a lot of these individuals that know the word backward and forward and quote a thousand scriptures, but DO NOT have that personal relationship with God. Therefore they can’t lead you to Him if they don’t know where He’s at. Then there are the wars or “RUMORS” of wars (i.e. what’s going on right now over in Afghanistan and surrounding areas.) You all know about this, our soldiers are dying for the greed of man instead of for the protection of our nation. But it says this must be and it is not the end. Then nations shall rise against nation. I believe this is what we are heading toward with all of these different countries debt and swinging values of currencies. That is a weak point in a nation and other nations will exploit that weakness while, like right now, people are loosing homes, jobs, and can’t even feed themselves nor heal from any illnesses. That sounds like a famine and pestilence to me. Then we have giant earthquakes hitting all over the world. Chili, Haiti, Portugal, and shot California which has one every other day. The next verse in the scriptures says this is the beginning of sorrows. Where the world will cry out for so many losses. Then the final verse I believe that America will be hated after a lot of these events and will take or be given the blame. The reason is of course the war going on already, and the World’s economy crashing is because of us. So I believe this will cause the divide amongst us and those same false prophets will come to try to milk what ever else they can out of us. Well that’s my observation. So after saying all of that, what do you think? Please read Matthew 24;4-11 KJV

And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come In my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

The Great I AM

The Great I AM

God Morning everyone! TJIF!! Thank Jesus It’s Friday! Welcome to the Spanduvilous Dailies with me, David Mitchell II, on this Friday February 26, 2010. During my studies one day I came across this scripture and there was something that caught my eye. In Exodus 3:14 it states “And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.” Now in that verse God calls Himself “I AM THAT I AM” and a question dawned on me, why did they use the word “THAT” instead of just saying “I AM” like they did further in that verse? I don’t know, to you it may seem like nothing, but that struck me as kind of odd. So what is “THAT”?

It is defined as: a grammatical word used to indicate somebody or something that has already been mentioned or identified, or something that is understood by both the speaker and the hearer. THAT also means: indicating a familiar person or thing and indicating distance from the speaker.

So from out of the definition of “THAT”, God is saying He is the one that has already been mentioned unto the people that Moses was about to go speak to in this particular verse. His presence has already been established and He has already been announced unto them. He was familiar to them and the obvious distance between the God and the people is pretty evident…so I guess “THAT” was the perfect word to inject in that verse. In addition, by him saying that he’s the “I AM”, he is stating that he is all or everything. That he is anything that has come or will ever come. All things he is. Now lets take this a little further. Just like our name has a meaning or supposed to have a meaning. Well when translated it should read like a divine rule over ones life. So “I AM THAT I AM” should translate into something like this. I am all; everything that has already been mention and identified as familiar that is understood by both the hearers and speakers whom everything is. Now let that soak in for a minute, because I don’t think it can get any deeper than that. My head was hurting just trying to figure it out myself. SO I’m glad the Lord wanted to keep it simple and just say, “I AM THAT I AM”. Please read Exodus 3:14 KJV

And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Isreal, I AM hath sent me unto you.

Back to Basics: Curses & Cures p2

Back to Basics: Curses and Cures p2

God morning everyone! Welcome to the Spanduvilous Dailies with me, David Mitchell II, on this Thursday February 25, 2010. We folks we are taking it back to the basics as we discuss our mini series on Curses and Cures. Yesterday we talked about curses and more specifically generational curses, but today we will be discussing cures or the cure. I don’t know if you know this or not, but every curse has a cure. You want know how I know this? Take a look at the word curse for starters. If you delete the “S” what does that leave you with? It leaves with cure. Thus, if you delete the “S” you delete the curse. So it is our job to find those “S” in our lives so we can delete them and only have the cure. Then once we have the antidote, now we can cure other people (i.e. through your testimony) since we have been delivered from that thing. Please don’t underestimate the power of the testimony. Now understand this also. Even if you figure out the cure, Jesus is the only one who can reveal and deliver you from the curse. Our Lord hears our cries and shall answer the distressed. But we must be diligent in the Word and the relationship. So quit your pity parties, stop your whining, stop your complaining, come our of confusion and delete your “S” so you can start on the greater works that God has for you. Please read Psalms 107:19-20 KJV
Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses. He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.

Back to Basics: Curses and Cures

God morning everyone! Welcome to the Spanduvilous Dailies with me, David Mitchell II on this hump day Wednesday February 24, 2010. Well folks today we’re going to go back to the basics again. And this message we will be talking about curses and cures. Today we will be focusing on curses or more specifically generational curses. Now I here so many people say that there is some type of generational cures over their lives that they are fighting against daily. And it behooves me how many people actually believes this. I used to say it myself that there is a generational curse towards my finances among other things. Then one day it dawned on me. Who said I had a generational curse? Who did I give the authority to speak such a thing into my life and more importantly why did I pick up such a horrid thing up and claim it as so? Then after that things got even worse. What the heck was I thinking? Now don’t get me wrong, there is such a thing as generational curses, but they should be pretty evident what they are. Also we have the freewill not to follow in those footsteps and not fall in those traps now that our eyes are open. Don’t let folk speak such things into your lives and don’t pick them up nor allow other people curses’ to be flung into your lives either. For instance, you’re in a relationship with someone and they have something going on with them. Don’t let their curse gain more territory and spread to you (i.e. slothfulness, finance, craziness) or whatever. So be careful of such things, because the knowledge and acceptance of this could save you so much heartache, headache, and pain. Now make sure you tune in tomorrow where we will talk about the cures of the curse, so be ready for it. Please read Exodus 34:7 KJV

Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation.

Positive Anger

Positive Anger

God morning everyone! Welcome to the Spanduvilous Dailies with me, David Mitchell II, on this Tuesday February 23, 2010. Well today’s message actually came about from a debate I was having with friend of mine about the video I did called “Stop Forgetting About Jesus” and in the video I used the word pissed. Now that’s where the debate began because this person, and I’m sure others of you are out there, took that me vocalizing my anger as being negative. And that was not the case at all. I had to explain to them that emotion I has delivering was not coming from a malicious place at all. My heart was not filled with hate, by no means, but it was a positive anger. Now I know you’re probably thinking to yourselves “how can you be positive and angry at the same time?” It’s very easy. Even though you are angry or upset with someone or something you don’t have to hate or dislike them. You may just disagree with the situation or their actions. For instance, your child may upset you and you may discipline them, but you don’t hate them, you just dislike what they did. Or like in our conversation I asked them if you are with your living father in the flesh, the one that birthed you, and you constantly see everyone disrespecting him, dogging him out, and spreading lies all around about him, I know for a fact that at some point you will bet upset. Now I you won’t hate those individuals, but you would be upset and dismayed with all of there actions, because you want to protect your father from all of their slander. Not this individual, but so many people want to piece together only certain imagery about Jesus that He was only meek and wouldn’t harm a nat. Let me tell you Jesus got upset too. Yes He was meek and all that, but don’t get it twisted, Jesus did get angry. The only thing is, is that He didn’t let nor do anything with malice in His heart. Prime example, when He was kicking tables over in the synagogue and when the priest kept trying to trip Him up to prove that He was not the messiah. So it is OK to be angry sometimes, but don’t let that anger hold any malice. Let it have a reason and behind that, love. Please read Mark 3:2-5 KJV

And they watched him, whether he would heal him on the sabbath day; that they might accuse him. And he saith unto the man which had the withered hand, Stand forth. And he saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held their peace. And when he had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he saith unto the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored whole as the other.

Purpose & Promise

Purpose and Promise

God Morning everyone! Welcome to the Spanduvilous Dailies with me, David Mitchell II, on this Monday February 22, 2010. Well friends today’s message we will be talking about purpose and promise. As we walk and work in God’s will toward our purpose, He uses an interesting catalyst to get us to working. And that is His promise. Now I’m not talking about the promises of old that we are still reaping the benefits from, but I’m talking about the end of the thing that He shown you. You know that dream you had when He showed you what you're supposed to be doing. And within that dream it was so unconceivable for you to do by yourself to you undeniably needed God's help. Yup, I'm talking about that vision of you while you are in your wealth reaping the fruits of your labor. That’s your individualized personal promise. Well He shows us the end of the thing to get us excited, motivated, and to get us up to move in our purpose. In addition to that, it is used as a goal for us to reach and aspire to. But so many of us get so caught up and focused on the Promise we overlook through whom the promise is coming from. It will and can only come through Jesus. So if you are not focused on Jesus during your purpose journey toward your promise, then you will never receive it. The promise is only to motivate you and for you to exercise your faith. But it is not there for you to boast and indulge in vanity round about it. Head toward your promise, but Focus on Jesus the whole way through, because what ever our purpose is on earth it is supposed to glorify the Kingdom of God and be a blessing to His people. Please read Ephesians 2:7-10 KJV

That in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in His kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

Be Not Yoked with Unbelievers

Be Not Yoked with Unbelievers

God Morning everyone! Welcome to the Spanduvilous Dailies with me, David Mitchell II. TJIF Thank Jesus it’s Friday, February 19, 2010! I think you all don’t have any idea how happy I am that is Friday. This week really put it on me. Well I have a good on for you guys to close out the week. And the title for today’s message is “Be Not Yoked with Unbelievers” This message came from one of Paul’s letter to Corinthia. As we are doing our share as a people, believers, and followers in Christ we must not fall subject to the people we are sharing Jesus with. We must continue to be separate. We must know how to move in the world and be not of the world. It is just like when we first turned our lives over to Christ, we stood out like a sore thumb. Because before we were going with the currents of the world, then we found Jesus and stood up. Now walk against the currents of the world. And of course it’s harder to go against the currents than taking the easy rout by going with the currents of this chaotic world. Its funny how they use the analogy of being yoked. If you crack open an egg and drop it in the skillet, the yoke is unharmed and is surrounded by egg white. We, the followers of Christ, are the yoke and the unbelievers are the egg whites. But how would you be able to tell who is the follower of Christ if you scrambled that same egg? You couldn’t because the yoke is no longer separate from the egg white or You are no longer distinguishable from the world. Notice I didn’t say separate form the world. You are somewhat separate due to the fact you know and have found Christ, but you backslid into old habits and comfortably with the sinners because of your corresponding conducts. So, one must be fully separate themselves from unbelievers to fully show them what a true believer looks, and acts like. Please read II Corinthians 6:14-17 KJV

Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion with light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? Or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? For ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Where fore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean things; and I will receive you

After Patience is Promise

After Patience is Promise

God Morning everyone! Welcome to the Spanduvilous Dailies with me David Mitchell II on this Thursday February 18, 2010. Well the message we received yesterday was so good I thought I should follow it up with a lil something, something. And while I was doing my research, I came across a passage that I’ve never seen before. In Hebrews 10:36, I found it interesting that after your patience, and the completion of God’s will that is the time you will receive God’s promise. Think about it. Would it make sense for God to give us that huge promise of financial freedom, a new house or what ever if we didn’t finish His work that He needed? That doesn’t make since especially if you did nothing or didn’t finish the task at hand. Now let me ask you this. Are you standing in the storm right now waiting patiently for God to deliver his promise or are you waiting in the storm for nothing because you have not done His will. Our God is a God of order. And that order is for us to be patient during and after our tribulations, because we have to wait on the Lord since it is imperative that we operate within His timing; not our own. Then we do the work in the will of God and after that’s done then we will receive our promises from HIM. So take a step back from your current situation and ask yourself if you are being patient and working to the Will of God towards its completion, because if one of those things are missing that promise that you’ve been waiting for will never come to manifestation. Please read Hebrews 10:36 KJV

For ye have need of patience, that , after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise

Waiting Room Patience

Waiting Room Patience

God morning everyone! Welcome to the Spanduvilous Dailies with me, David Mitchell II, on this hump day Wednesday February 17, 2010. Well folks as you know it is women’s Wednesday and I am honored to introduce to you a powerful woman of God will and ready to give you a great word for the day, so without further a dew, Ms. Sonya Widdell. Good Morning everyone. My name is Sonya Widdell and happy to be your guest host on the Spanduvilous Dailies today. Since its women's Wednesday I would like to share with something with you from a book called “You’re Late Again Lord, The Impatient Women’s Guide to Waiting”, By Wendy Goodman that changed how I look at patience. Patience is about waiting purposefully. Well what does that mean. Wendy talks about being in a waiting room. While in the waiting room, there is something that is happening. 1. We are to develop a closer relationship with God. 2. God reveals things about us. 3. And we are waiting on time.

1. Ask yourself are you pleased with your relationship with God. Wendy talks about as soon as you arise in the morning, stop and listen to what God is saying to you. Listening should be automatic as your breathing.
2. Before God gives you what you have been waiting on, He will show you things about you that need to be purged. These things are ugly and will make you uncomfortable. God can’t use these things to take you to the next level.

Romans 5:3
And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
