Fitting to Fulfil God's BEST in 2010

Tuesday 01/05/2010

Mathew 3

¹³ Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan to be baptized by him. ¹⁴ And John tried to
¹⁵ But Jesus answered and said to him, “Permit prevent Him, saying, “I need to be baptized by You, and are You coming to me?” it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he allowed Him.
¹⁶ When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He^[c] saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him. ¹⁷ And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”

So I ask myself this question every time I read this scripture, but today I stopped and waited on the Holy Spirit, who has been assigned by Jesus to lead me into ALL truth (John16), this question again. For it seems to me that the answer should be something I would want to know.

WHY? Why would Jesus be baptized? Why would that make a difference? How does a sinless man getting baptized for the remission of sins, which was Johns stated calling, fulfill anything?

The answer was simple and profound. First of let us note that this is the VERY FIRST act of Jesus the adult we have recorded in the scripture. Water to wine may have been in first "miracle" but this was his first act. I want to know don't you?

The act of baptism doesn't remit your sins. It was a symbolic foreshadowing of Jesus' Death, Burial, and Resurrection. It means dying to YOU. It means dying to YOUR will, and YOUR way and taking on GOD'S will for you and your life.

God: I'll give you my life, which I haven't done very good with anyway, and I'll take yours instead. It is a symbolic ceremony marking the trade you make with God!

So watch this: Jesus, knowing that this is the mark of his ministry start and will now begin the count down to the cross... calls those things that be not as though they are. He says I'm going to die, and raise again, and I'm going to do it to bring righteousness to ALL who will accept it. I'm going to say yes to that NOW, HERE, and the begining of my ministry!

The Garden was a struggle and it was the final throws of putting down the flesh, but it started right here on day one of his minstry. This was not only his ordination by God. It was his accepting and aggreeing to the terms of this New Covenant from the start. He looked forward and saw you and I standing in his washed blood and free of sin and walking out God's perfect will in 2010.

Jesus was saying yes to:

Sleepless nights praying
Crowds drawing on and draining him
Storms, conflicts, and persecutions
responsability of a full time staff of 12, part time of 70-120
Grueling Schedule
Friends and betrayals
Eternity with men and women grateful for his gift
Delight in seeing men enjoy life abundantly
God's Perfect Will for Cir AD 30

In Fact, Jesus wasn't just saying yes to God's will for His life. He was saying yes to God's will for MY life... here in 2010!!!

Thank you Jesus for saying YES to me! I say YES to you to! What can I do to serve you more in 2010?

God's Perfect Will

Monday 01/04/2010

Mathew 2

Joseph and Mary took personal risks and sacrifices obeying God. They had to take a bad reputation from those who wouldn't understand. Joseph was given the care of a child that wasn't "His". Neither understood the FULL impact of what this would mean to them, which is evident in how amazed they were at his 8 day old presentation at the temple and all the words spoken over him by two prophets.

Yet here they are... obeying God... walking in HIS perfect will for thier lives. As a result they received:

Provision
Protection
Direction
Foreknowledge

MOST of us in the church world today walk around half blind until a problem comes up and then say:

"Well... God... You know what is going on here... what do I do now?"

At least we hope most of us are at least that spiritual. Many would repond:

"OH GOD!... OH JESUS!... What am I going to do? Why did you let this happen?"

But is there a better way of walking in God's will for 2010 then EITHER response? What if God brings the Provision FIRST... THEN the Direction... through these Protection and Foreknowledge and as a result you were half way to Eygpt before catastrophe hit!

That is my goal for 2010! Walk in God's will, so clearly that I am provided for, led by the Holy Spirit, and LONG GONE before the problem tries to come my way!

Here's to HIS perfect will for 2010!

Stand Your Ground!

Sunday Service 01/03/2010

Stand Your Ground!

Ephesians 6:

¹⁰ Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. ¹¹ Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. ¹² For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age,^[c] against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. ¹³ Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
¹⁴ Stand therefore...

The word "stand" is the Greek word: Hestemi. It means:

Set- as in concrete
Resolved
Resolute
Stubborn
In Military Application: Man your post, stand/remain steady at your post
In Essence: Be a BULLDOG! Aggressive, Persistent, and Determined to stand against ALL the wiles/schemes/plans of the Devil!

There are VERY bad things coming for those who are in the World this Year. For many, like myself, this will be among the best years of our lives. However, for many this will be among the worst years. Finances, Governments, Health Care, Natural Disasters, and Crisis of many kinds are coming on a global scale. There are many going to be running for anything that smells stable. There we will be... the GLORIOUS Church...

We will:

¹⁴ Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, ¹⁵ and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; ¹⁶ above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. ¹⁷ And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; ¹⁸ praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints—

We WIll be that light the world needs in dark and terrible times. We will be that house built on a rock totally undisturbed by the storm beating down on it. We will be the light on the hill, the salt, the preserving agent. They will come running and we will have an answer for all who ask us:

What is this HOPE you have... in the middle of all this chaos? How can you NOT be worried?

Winston Churchhill said:
"For a nation to try to tax or borrow themselves into prosperity is as a man who stands in a bucket and then tries to list himself up by the handle!"

This Nation, like others, has done just that. That stupid system of finance, based on rules that had to over rule the bible and the US constitution to come about is crashing around us. It is coming down. They will need answers and we will be there to provide for them.

One area I found that has been a weak spot with my ability to stand in life is my emotions. I get "hooked" by kids screaming or customers refusing to listen or understand. I get mad and frustrated because something isn't going the way I wanted it to. Enough is enough. In 2010 I refuse to be disturbed about anything or by anyone! I will be that rock, stable no matter what you say or do.

Word of the Lord to the Church of EMIC, by Pastor George:
"After the dust settles on 2010 you will still be STANDING!"

Standing is NOT a weak term. Not a term of struggle. It's a term with the image of a strong marine being attacked by a child sized enemy. He doesn't smile or laugh. He just stands, strong... cool... collected... able to act... but not in a rush about anything... It's the term and image of an enforcer! More on that later!

Follow The Blessing!

01/01/2010

2010: A Journey through the Word

Mathew 1:1-17
So all the generations from:
Abraham to David were 14
David to Babylon were 14
Babylon to Jesus were 14

God Blesses Adam... he breaks covenant. God restores him, but we never hear from him again.
God Blesses Noah... Line Broken again.
God Blesses Abraham... Issac, Jacob... David...Jesus... Me!

     God didn't give up after the fall, nor did he cease to work with man despite his having to keep a distance. He keeps trying over and over to establish that link to the Blessing he started the planet with. That blessing has made it to me!

Galatians 3:29
If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

     However it is my responsability to pass it on. Yours TOO!

     God is looking for people who will train others. Starting at home. How many powerfull ministries have had children who did nothing for God? How many have had children that did far more? The latter list is shorter, but shouldn't be. Your children, natural and spiritual, should be standing on your shoulders and using your acheivements as a platform to build from. They will have thier own callings, but no matter what God calls them to do, it will take the BLESSING to do it!

      In 2010 I'm going to look for ways to impart The Blessing into others, starting at home, then work and church, then anywhere else I can find an open door!

                                              Pssssst... Hey you.... Pass it on!

                  Be Blessed, Darrell G. Wolfe

EMIC New Years Eve Service

Last night was amazing... The anointing and power of God flowed into Eagle Mounting International Church! EMIC There were so many things said I couldn't recount them all here. Service started at 8 pm and we left in the car just after 1:23 am!

The Highlights:

Have faith in God!

2010 will be the Best of times and the Worst of times!

If you are not listening to God and walking with him you be tossed about by the wild things going to hit the country this year. Natural disasters, terrorist attacks, politics, etc. We are witnessing the collapse of the Babylonian system of socialism that's been attacking this country for 110 years!

Jeremiah 17:5

     Curse is the man who's trust is in man, or in man's natural ways of operation.
     VS
     Blessed is the man who Hopes and Trusts and who's source is in GOD!

These are the tools of faith:

I Believe
I Will
I Take It
I Have It
I Thank you For IT!
I Forgive!

These are the vocabulary that you should develope in 2010!

Two phrases from Oral Roberts Message "The 4th Man" that changed many lives:

"I will never bow the confession of my mouth!"

"What you compromise to keep you will eventually loose!"

The commitments Kenneth and Gloria made 43 years ago and still stand by are:

Never ask anybody for a place to preach.
Never preach anywhere based on a financial arrangement.
Never ask anybody for $ to meet my needs.
Never put this ministry in debt or ever borrow $ again!

These were and are the keys to thier success in God. These prevent compromise and contamination.

Christianity is not a religion, but it's had religions made out of it.

You can change what happens in your:

Nation some of the time
Community most of the time
Home ALL of the time!

Get ready for an amazing year! The BEST year ever for those walking and and OBEYING the voice of God. The WORST year for those trusting in Man's Broken System!

Be Blessed! Darrell G. Wolfe

Blessing Without Measure!

12/31/2009

As I look at the end of 2009 and the beginning of 2010 I open my bible to the daily reading, Revelations 22. I find this:

Revelation 22

¹ And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb. ² In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

Which got me thinking... that sounds a lot like:

Genesis 1:28-29

²⁸ Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth." ²⁹ And God said, “See, I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for food.


Pasted From: Bible Gateway

   As book ends to accentuate the shelf, God places the first and last books of the bible to accentuate the story of man. The LORD God, the Begging-End, Alpha-Omega lays out His PERFECT will for mankind in the beginning of His love letter to us. He ends the love letter by reminding us what His PERFECT will is again. What is God's will? What is His PERFECT will?

   SHALOM! Nothing Missing, Nothing Broken, Everything Whole and Complete!

   God's will is, was, always will be SHALOM, Dominion, Provision, Healing, Prosperity, Victory, Overcoming!

Matthew 6:10

¹⁰ Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.

God has always intended for man to be fruitful, multiply, replenish the earth, and put down things that get out of order. Which can be summarized as "Have Dominion!" I am a child of God! Jesus paid my debt on the cross and bought my right of way back into the blessing! Just as the Tree of Life I should bear fruit EVERY month of 2010, not just a little either. I should be increasing more and more in the things of God. 2010 will have challenges yes, and I will face them in faith! I will seek the answers to each and every situation, opportunity, and decision fighting FROM victory, not for it!

The Blessing without Measure, in 2010!!!

All things are NEW!

Party Time!

12/30/2009

     Today I studied Revelations 21.

     God is making a NEW heaven and a NEW earth and EVERYTHING is new. Even the NEW Jerusalem has no temple, for the Glory of God is it's temple. No Sun, Moon, or Stars... for the GLORY of God lights the city!!!

     There are also AMAZING details, such as a River of Life, Gold Streets, Precious Stone Foundations, Giant pearl Gates (each made from a single pearl).

   In Reviewing 2009 I take a look at the Word of God given by Kenneth Copeland that I kept posted at my desk and read out loud when I got discouraged. I decided to receive it even if I didn't understand how it would happen:


Well, what about 2009? Shall it be a time of darkness? Or shall this be a place where the Glory shines? Yes, the Glory is here. The Glory has come and things in 2009 that you thought were absolutely never, ever going to come to pass are going to happen so smoothly and so easily you’re going to say, “My, my, my, I don’t see why I ever was disturbed about that. Why glory to God.” And it’s going to increase, and increase and increase. And before the end of 2009 you won’t be able to recognize yourself or your nation, because the Spirit of the Living God will be moving in ways that you’ve only dreamed about up till now. And you’ll be on your way to more wonderful and greater things. That’s the Word of the Lord that came to me. Praise the Lord!

Washington, D.C. Victory Campaign

We wanted to move to Eagle Mountain International Church, in Newark Texas since July of 2005, when our oldest boy was just about 6 months old. We were living in Palm Springs, CA and thought there was no way it could happen. After a few wrong moves and years of self caused delays discouragement had set in. I'd applied for several job postings within my company and had been turned down each time. We were living in the hamster wheel. Running and running and no moving forward.

2009 was a year of transition. We moved from California to Texas with a new job, new church, new challenges. We got a new car, better apartment, better relationship with each other and the kids.
I got promoted to become a coach and trainer. I've become a skilled coach and understand the business of leading much better now. Had I been promoted without learning everything I've learned over the last four years, I would not have made much of a leader. But now I am ready. I DO hardly recognize myself as a husband, father, worker, coach, and leader from Jan to now. I expect greater change and growth in 2010. The GLORY surely has come into our lives just as Brother Kenneth said it would.

Jesus instructed us to pray for God's will to be done on earth as it already is in heaven. I pray, believe, and receive: 2010 a year of NEW and AMAZING, just as it always is in heaven! 2010 will be a year when:
