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;

Covetousness, Content, and Continual Presence

Covetousness, Content, and Continual Presence

God Morning everyone! Welcome to the Spanduvilous Dailies with me, David Mitchell II, on this Tuesday February 16, 2010. Today our point of conversation is going to be covetousness, contentment, and continual presence. All of these points come from Hebrews 13:5 KJV and it reads, “Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.” These are three very powerful yet simple principles points for everyday living that we should make sure we recognize, start, or continue. The first of these is covetousness. Covetousness means wanting someone else’s property. So basically if it’s not yours, don’t worry about it. Don’t worry about if someone else is in all designer clothes and you’re rotating and mixing and matching brands just to come up with a new outfit. There’s no need to even talk about it, because what we forget and fail to realize is that what God has for us is for us. Not someone else’s things. Which then brings us to our next point of being content. Content means to accept or make do with something. So after not worrying about what someone else has, then we are to appreciate and accept what we already have. Don’t devalue the things you have and have in you. They are just as or even more valuable than the thing that you were looking that the other person has. And the final point is continual presence. Now I’m sure you all know what continual means, but for those don’t, it means uninterrupted. So when Jesus says, “I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee” He is saying He will continually be in our presence answering our call and supplying our needs. He will be there even if we can’t see Him, feel Him or touch Him. Please read Hebrews 13:5 KJV

Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

Valentines with Jesus

Valentines with Jesus

God Morning! Welcome to the Spanduvilous Dailies with me, David Mitchell II, on this Monday February 15, 2010. Well to all of the women out there I would like to wish you all a Happy Belated Valentines Day! Unfortunately I didn’t have a Valentine, so I spent mine with Jesus. We had us a good ol’ time! I gave Him the gift of praise at church and the gift of conversation and testimony in the evening. I thoroughly enjoyed myself. We collectively praised the Lord in song and spirit. Cause hey you know that Valentines Day is the day you share with that special loved one. I thought it would be appropriate if I meditated on Psalms 91:14 for the day as we spend time together and it reads “Because He hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known My name.” This is reassuring message that He will deliver us from anything just because of His love. He will take us to another lever automatically just for the fact that we know His name. His love is the deliverance and what we shall stand on, along with His word. Now for those of you out there that shared in each other’s love drunkenness, I really hope you all enjoyed yourselves on your dinners, and the quality time with each other. I’m sure it was well needed. So even if your Valentines Day was spent by yourself or with your mate, as long as you had love, God was present in the mix. Please read Psalms 91:14 KJV

Because He hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known My name.

Watch Your Mouth

Watch Your Mouth

God Morning everyone! Welcome to the Spanduvilous Dailies with me, David Mitchell II. Well it’s TJIF!! Thank Jesus It’s Friday February 12, 2010. I know this one I have for you today I can learn from too. Keep from speaking evil things to or about people. I don’t know about you, but when I’m pissed off at someone or about something; you best believe someone is going to hear about it. And as much as I’ve been tolerating the things people do to me or around me, doesn’t it just feel GOOD to unleash that tyrant unto someone that really deserves it? I’m not saying that it’s right; I’m just saying it feels good to get things off your chest, despite the consequence for the tyrants. Speaking of which, you cannot forget that fatal fact. Because that outburst can and 9 times out of 10 will get you into trouble. And sometimes that trouble is so deep you can’t get out of it. NEWSFLASH! That was all apart of the enemies plan. He just wants to push your buttons until you can’t take it anymore. So stop that from happening we should try what the bible speaks about seeking and perusing peace. So if that’s the case it will be ever fleeting. It’s constantly moving and very evasive. So if peace is constantly on the move we cannot waste time talking about someone in a negative situations or giving someone a piece of our mind. If we want true peace, to every point of the word, we must be speaking good things and speaking peaceful words. Because if you do this you will always be going in the same direction of peace and the pursuit after it won’t be to hard to catch. Please read Psalms 34:13-14

Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.

L.I.G.

L.I.G.

God morning everyone! Welcome to the Spandluvilous Dailies with me, David Mitchell II, on this Thursday February 11, 2010. Well today folks we’re going to talk briefly about L.I.G. or Letting It Go. Many times in life we come across things, people, and situations that we grow attached to. But we have to realize that those people and things are only supposed to be in our lives for a season and not a lifetime. Even as much as we love them or it, we have to do the right thing by those people and let them go. Even if it may hurt our feelings we need to L.I.G. Because in the end we are doing more damage then good. If we refuse to let something/ someone go we are getting in God’s way. If we are in the way that person will never turn to God, because they are always turning to you. L.I.G. In the end it will be better. In the end if they are a decent person, after God gets finished with them, they will come back thanking you and apologizing for taking you for granted while treating you like crap. For letting them go is putting them in the best place they could ever be, and that’s in God’s hands. So take an inventory or your life and see what you need to L.I.G. Please read Luke 15:11-13 KJV

And he said, “A certain man had two sons: And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living. And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.

Back to Basics: Faith, Grace & Mercy p3

Back to Basics: Faith, Grace & Mercy p3

God Morning everyone! Welcome to the Spanduvilous Dailies with me, David Mitchell II, on this hump day Wednesday February 10, 2010. Today we are finishing up on the mini series of Back to Basics: Faith, Grace & Mercy. The last installment is hitting on mercy. Now mercy is a strong word. I mean think about it for a minute. If God has mercy in you that means you must of did something that was out of His will or just being plain old disobedient. But with His mercy he holds back His punishment for stepping out of line. That means everything we do wrong (every single day that we live, i.e. sinning) He’s just sitting back chilling watching us do the wrong, waiting for us to come tell Him and tell Him what we did wrong. Then He shows us the correct response to the situation and then He holds back His consequences of those wrongful actions. But please don’t get it twisted, depending how far you jump out of line, Jesus may not intercede on your behalf. If that happens then you have to feel the brunt of God’s disciplinary actions. However, in this we must find the lesson in the every situation. The reason He gave you mercy is because you told Him the truth and did not lie. For while I was doing my research on this topic I constantly kept seeing Mercy and Truth, but not so much as grace and mercy as I had expected. In Psalms 85:10 it states “Mercy and Truth are met together…”. So if they were coupled together it would seem that Mercy has some conditions. If it did not then God would not have poured out His wrath on several different occasions in the bible. So in order to keep God’s mercy upon us, we have to stay soaked in His word and saturated in His will, because all in all His mercy does endure forever and ever. Please read I Timothy 1:13 KJV Psalms 85:10 KJV

Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

Back to Basics: Faith, Grace & Mercy p2

Back to Basics: Faith, Grace & Mercy p2

God morning everybody! Welcome to the Spanduvilous Dailies with me, David Mitchell II, on this Tuesday February 9, 2010. Well folks we’re continuing on our topic of Back to Basics: Faith, Grace & Mercy. Today we’re scratching the surface on grace. I love the definition that my Compact Bible Dictionary, Nelson’s Series, gives. It states that grace is the “Favor or kindness shown without regard to the worth or merit of the one who receives it and in spite of what that person deserves.” Wow. That really puts things in perspective a little bit doesn’t it? Just think about for a minute, without God’s grace you would not have been able to get that new job, promotion, or raise. Without God’s grace you would not have been approved for that loan that you know you did not qualify for. Without God’s grace you would have woke up this morning in a sane mind. I mean we would have to do everything perfect if we didn’t have grace available to us. But luckily Jesus came to plead our case so though His grace coupled with our repentance we are saved. I mean image all of the times you KNOW that you disobeyed God’s instruction, when you got fooled by the enemy, or when you hurt His feelings. Thank God for His grace. Thank God that the Grace through Jesus wipes the slate clean every time. So lets not take God’s grace for granted. For the absence of it is His wrath. And we all know how terrifying His wrath it. So I don’t know about you, but I’m going to appreciate His grace and the sacrifice Jesus made for us to have it. Please read Romans 3:22-24 KJV

Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus

Back to Basics: Faith, Grace & Mercy p1

Back to Basics: Faith, Grace & Mercy

God Morning! Welcome to the Spanduvilous Dailies with me David Mitchell II on this Monday February 8, 2010. After all of the deep thoughts and concerns of last week, I have decided to slow it down a bit. I often find myself asking simple questions that I should know, but I take it for granted that what I was taught is the correct information. So from time to time I like to refresh my memory on certain fundamental words, principals, and people of the bible to make sure that I know what those words mean and that I apply them properly in my everyday life. So over the next few days we will be going back to the basics. We will first start off with “Faith”. What is faith? I’m sure many of you have heard it in a sermon or two that “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” from Hebrews 11:1. In essence it is saying that it’s something that you desire that no one else can see. It could be a dream, love, a new car, a new job, and or hopefully Christ Jesus. But the bible also gives us a disclaimer about faith. It states in 1 Peter 1:7, “That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ”. Now the translation to that is what ever you hope for that no one else can see will be tested or tried to make sure you want it bad enough before you receive it. So if you decided that you’re going to have faith in Jesus, then the things He told you, that you can’t see right now or Him period, will be tested and tried in the fire by the enemy to see if you really want it or Him. That is why the bible says have unwavering faith like in James 1:6. Thus if your faith is unwavering in Him then logically what HE has for you shall truly come to you in a timely fashion. Please read Hebrews 11:1 KJV , 1 Peter 1:7 KJV, and James 1:6 KJV

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ

But let him ask in faith, nothing wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

Relationship not Religion

Relationship not Religion

God Morning! TJIF!! Thank JESUS It’s Friday! Well folks I said I had to do a little more research about religion before I delivered my last installment about the subject and I did. While I was at work casually thinking about this particular message Jesus smacked the HECK out of me with a revelation about this topic. It was so strong on me I could not concentrate for two hours. I was compelled to take a half-day yesterday to attend bible study and to get a little more information and to make sure I’m not saying anything wrong. The two minutes I spoke with my bishop I received confirmation, clarity and relief that the way I was feeling isn’t wrong. He shared with me that YES religions are man made systems. Since God loves us so much that he uses those man made devices to reach us. You know the saying that those things made for bad, in the end God uses for good. Well I think Christianity was one of those things, to a certain extent. God only wanted the relationship not the religion. The unfortunate thing is that man thought that the religion was the relationship. Let me take it a step further. Do you KNOW what religion means? Besides of course the normal answer, {RE}- means “again” and {LIGION} derived from {LIGARE}- means “to bind”. Thus leaving us in the case of Christianity to bind us again to Christ. NOW as I mentioned early Jesus shared something a little more straightforward and was so deep I stated to drown. He separated the word into to parts also and he said {RE} – means “again”, now here’s the kicker. if you change the “I” to an “E” the word changes from {Ligion} to {Legion}. And we know that the demons of the underworld call themselves {Legion} - meaning" multitude or great number". I said WOW! My mouth dropped. In Mark 5:9 it says "And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, my name is Legion: for we are many."
They both sound alike and are spelled alike despite that one letter. I believe over the course of time the enemy wanted to be more camouflage and that one letter changed. Just like so many other words through the course of the years. Now with all that being said it is completely up to you what you chose to do, but now you cannot say “well Jesus I didn’t know”, because the truth has been put out there fore you. Laid in your lap to receive. Give God your relationship not your relationship to religion. SO take that and meditate on it. Pleas read Matthew 15:8-9 KJV and Mark 5:9 KJV

This people draweth nigh unto me with their lips; but their hearts is far from me. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, my name is Legion: for we are many.

Greater Works

Greater Works

God Morning! Welcome to the Spanduvilous Dailies with me, David Mitchell II on this Thursday February 4, 2010. Well I had one more installment on our current topic of religion, but I saw fit to hold off a minute and do a little more research. But luckily I still have a little something, something to share with you all. When I speak to you all I try my best to speak from an honest place. A place where there is fault, fear, questions, anger, empowerment, peace, and happiness. So through the rollercoaster of emotion and instability of thought into and behind God’s word; by us all being wired the basically the same how is it possible that we can still do greater works? I mean Jesus said that if we believe in Him, everything he did and more, we could do. I’m just awed by that. Now this is JESUS the CHRIST we’re talking about, not some Jesus (hey-soos) something or rather. How is this possible? Of course Jesus knew something that we didn’t about ourselves and is it we are not utilizing our gifts to their full potential? Why are we constantly letting Jesus down by not answering the call and the charge that He gave us? Lets stand together as one. Dig deep into our souls, and hewn that power inside of us to do these Greater works that HE believed we could do. Please read John 14:12 KJV

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works that these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

Waiting Patience

Waiting Patience

God Morning! Welcome to the Spanduvilous Dailies with me, David Mitchell II, on this hump day Wednesday February 3, 2010. As you know today is women’s Wednesday and we have an awesome woman of God ready to bless you with the word. SO sit back and enjoy my sister in Christ Ms. Sonja Collins. HELLO Spanduvilous Dailies viewers! My name is Sonja Collins and today we're going to talk about "Waiting Patience." No longer should our self-worth hang in a balance on the technicality of the interest of others. We were created on purpose to be a life-changing instrument to all that we encounter. Our lives are transformed by the renewing of our minds (ROMAN12:2) So start nurturing wholeness where you are. Because the more you bring to the party, the greater the celebration will be when others join you. SO ladies you want a man to fall in love with you not your achievements or material acquisitions. Now is the time to make and treasure your friendships with men, and now is also the time to spend time constructively nurturing your relationships with other women as well as your family. It is self-deception to think that if you have unresolved issues with those you should be at peace with in your inner circle that you will be able to live through conflict with a spouse. So never put off tomorrow what you can do today. You know ladies Ruth wasn’t looking for husband, but she got one anyway, which is a indication to me that one doesn’t have to spend their energy hunting for the perfect mate. Just be about your business of living and he will find you. It is always essential that we not just recognize the season but also understand the PURPOSE of each season! Please read Romans 12: 2 KJV

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Religion's Dividing the Body

Religion Dividing the Body

God Morning everyone! Welcome to the Spanduvilous Dailies with me, David Mitchell II, on this Tuesday February 2, 2010. Today we are continuing on the topic of religion. Yesterday I spoke about how religion was man made and how you should unlearn the deception you’ve grown accustom to. The second point I would like to discuss will further drive home why religion is not of God. Let me pose this question to you. How many different doctrines of Christianity are there? Now off the top of my head you have Judaism, Catholics, Baptists, Pena Costal, Prespitarian, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Non – Denominational, and I’m pretty sure there are some more I don’t even know about. But why are there so many different doctrines for one religion Christianity and with one book the bible. I haven’t heard of there being different doctrines in any other religion beside Christianity. There lies the problem, with everyone following all of these different doctrines, how can the body of Christ ever be united. We will always be segmented if we still hang our hats and claim these different “Doctrines” and “Religions”. Jesus said in his own words”…Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand.” So why are we continually knowingly dividing the body of Christ by following all if these different doctrines and religions. Now we know God’s house will never fall. SO are we taking things for granted? I can’t answer that question, but I will say this. Lets step out of the conformity of the world and in to a the era of truth to bring forth the correct unity of the body of Christ. Please read Matthew 12:25 KJV

And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand

Religion's Deception

Religion’s Deception

God morning! Welcome to the Spanduvilous Dailies with me, David Mitchell II on this February 1, 2010. Well folks this next series I’m about to discuss, I’m kind of hesitant, even though I know its needs to be said. But the only thing is I don’t know how you all will receive it. But here goes! I have a very serious question for you all. What is religion or more importantly what is your religion? Some of you are saying you’re Christian right? Or maybe you’re Catholic, Baptist, Penacostal or whatever. Now before I get to my point let me ask another question. Do you get upset as I do when people, media, and anyone else disrespects Christianity. What I mean by this is all of the ridicule and the persecution of individuals once they make a mistake or step outside of the BOX or the image we have said to be a good Christian. We scorn them, shun them, and look down on them as we point our fingers all high and mighty. Who are we to do such a thing. Do we have the right to really judge that individual? Now to my point… as far as religion goes, its safe to say “I’m a Christian”, but the reality of it is I’m not. And neither should you. Now hold on now before you start calling me all types of things and everything else under the sun. Yes I love and have accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. Yes I’ve been baptized by the Spirit and by water. Yes I am and will forever more follow Jesus until the end. So now you’re probably thinking well then you’re Christian… NO. Here is why. The main reason I say “NO” is because it’s MAN MADE! Now where does it say “and the Lord said” or “ an angel of the Lord delivered a word from the Lord” or anything of that nature about calling ourselves Christians. God is an unchanging God. As far as I know He has always stated what He and that He was the author of prophecies, creation, and message. He always said it came from Him. But in this case, He stamp of approval is nowhere to be found. It just states “And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.” Man called us Christians not the Lord. While Jesus was walking HE never called himself a Christian. But the only “religion” in the Old Testament and Jesus Himself said that they followed was walking in “The Way”. And furthermore this is what the Lord shared with me about this subject; He said “ Man can judge that which they make, but no man can judge what I create.” That blew me away. That is why in the media, in churches, and every one else people are constantly being judged and they Can because they have been bamboozled into calming something that they are truly not. That label/ box is not yours. It’s a huge Jedi mind trick conditioned to show you an unattainable image, which will inevitably keep you in the same position. This is all apart of the enemy’s slight of hand. Do you really think the enemy won’t try to twist God’s words to fool us? He tempted Jesus with the word, what makes you think he won’t try us? If you’re going to be in a box be in the right box. Hopefully the box that you pick has the righteous label in “The Way”. That is what the God Himself taught all through the Old Testament and what Jesus taught. So if it’s good enough for Him, it’s good enough for me. Free your mind. Please read Acts 11:26 KJV

And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.
