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.
