You Cannot Win with the devil, He's a spirit, but Jesus Can!!!

After the funeral service today where I ministered, I purposely went looking for people hanging out in Salem.... and there is always someone hanging out in Salem.
I parked my car and walked up to a group of guys and one guy I have shared the gospel with before had on "Dallas Cowgirls" attire.  I had to tell him that because I loved Jesus I was going to hug him.  Another guy said, "Uh Oh, that's an Eagles Fan!"  He didn't know me and we laughed at the way you can spot us as fans.

We talked and I shared the gospel with them....one guy stood a bit off to the side, but he listened.  I explained to them that they may have every intention of 2017 being a good year!  Their year to do something with their lives, but they devil has other plans for them....and unless they have Jesus as Lord of their lives, unless they have accepted Him and repented of their sins, they are still a slave to sin and therefore, slaves of the devil.....He knows the only weapon we have is Jesus...and the devil, he even believes it!  I told them they can't win with the devil because he is a spirit but He knows if we have Jesus in our lives, if we believe on the Lord and receive Him in their hearts that the devil would fear the God in them.  I told them how I gain victory over his plots against my life through the very name of Jesus!  I talked about how much God loves them....How much He loves Salem.

I continued to give the Word and one of the guys, said, "She got me crying over here...."  It was God revealing His truth to this man.

I invited them to church tonight and all the rest too.  I had introduced myself and talked to them about my Dad....and why I was out there....there's always someone who confirms my Dad's ministry to the streets.....and they know what I am doing out there.....

I praise God that they may not come to church tonight but they got the Word today!

Happy New Year!

Church After Church

After church on Sunday we always pass a group of people hanging out, not really doing anything but drinking and just doing what they do....

For some time now I have been feeling like I should stop and give them a taste of church via a mini sermon since they won't come to church...any church.  I haven't been stopping, just saying I should stop to myself.....so I repented to the Lord that I haven't been obeying Him after church.  With my Mom in the car I know she's usually very hungry after church....but that's no excuse.

This past Sunday I got out of my car and walked up to a group on Olive St.  I gave them the Word as my Mom waited in the truck for me.  She was fine.  Checking everybody out.  She knew some of the older guys and later told me that my Dad has preached to that man for years.

One girl walked up to me and asked if I was Chris's mom, I said yes and kept on sharing the gospel....They listened, even shook their heads...except for the man my Mom told me about, he walked away.  But he knows...he knows.....

There's something so cleansing about doing what God wants you to do.....there is nothing like it in the world!

...Shootings and Killings on Broadway

"...there have been recent shootings / killings on Broadway and retaliation is expected."

This is from an email I received this evening.....there was more but this is what made me turn off the TV and ask God what should I do.  I decided I needed to take my German Shepherd puppy Bella out to go and for me to pray.

I usually stay on my street at night and as I was praying for Salem I decided to keep walking onto Broadway....I approached some guys hanging out and asked them if it was true.....nothing....Was there a shooting?  Did someone get killed?  Someone mumbled something....and then like a mother who has been warning her children about the company they keep....even if THEY are the bad influence, I began to tell them that this is not God's plan for their lives...God loves them, He is the only one who can bring peace into their lives, into their homes, into this town....If God didn't love them, why are so many people praying for this town?  I told them that we pray for them all the time at Soul Saving Center.  I told them I was going to pray over this corner again as I have in the past....and I will continue to pray.  I let them know that God sent my father to preach the gospel and now I'm here and there is no fear, nothing intimidating me, nothing but love for them....I let them know I loved them.
No one moved.....I prayed out loud and asked God to not let another person lose their life because they are not ready to meet Him....I asked God to protect those young men and to go after them and deliver them from the evil that is controlling them.  I gave them to God and told them that I would continue to pray and that they need to give their lives to Jesus Christ.  The only way out!  I kept saying, "He Is The Only Way Out!   Before I left, one of the guys said, "We love you too.  We love you."

Bella was very good, very quiet and they couldn't believe she was just a 6 month old puppy.  I thank God for her temperament.  I can minister to the guys in the street at night and she's quiet and right there....I don't fear anyone...and the guys know that, but they are afraid to walk anywhere when she is there.....So God knew what He was doing when He chose Bella for me....Born in Egypt and living in Salem, NJ.  And on the mission field with her Mommy.  Sweet!

Please pray with all of us who are praying for Salem!  God loves this town!

He Came To Set The Captives Free!

My plan was to take my Mom to her Bible Study this morning in my lounging outfit, come back home and finish the laundry.  But God told me to get dressed, so I did.....I took her and decided, I might as well take Bella (who has to ride in the car now for everything!) for a good walk around the Pennsville Park area along the Delaware River.

On the way to the church to drop my Mom off, I rode pass a very familiar sight.  The ones who sit on the steps on Broadway, drinking starting very early in the morning.  The very sight of them made me so angry at the devil.....and I purposed that after I dropped my mother off I was going to stop there....By the time I got back there, I was so mad at the devil that I jumped out of the car like the Police!  Bella sitting inside looking at me like "Mommy, I thought you were taking me for a ride!"

I approached them and immediately the words came tumbling out.  God just gave me what to say to them and one of them has been to Soul Saving Center.  He has heard the gospel and I guess that's what really had me so pissed off at the devil.  I preached very hard this morning in the streets....I could feel the urgency in my spirit to preach the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ to them!

What the Lord would have them know is that  Jesus Came to Set The Captives Free!!!  That Jesus is Coming Again Soon!  That they are sitting in a dungeon and they are begin held captive by sin.

One young woman who was sitting there said to me, "I've been asking Jesus to come into my heart for 10 years.  How do I get Him into my heart?I've been praying lately too!"  I began to share Scriptures with her that explained the power that Jesus has to set her free and her responsibility is to believe on Jesus Christ!  To repent and to receive Salvation!  And then....Nurture that relationship....Some of them were even quoting John 3: 16 with me.....that really made me determined to expose the devil's works.  he was trying to make God's Word ineffective, and a lie!   No!!! he is the liar!!!

One of the guys said,  My grandmom is always trying to tell me I need to go to church but you don't have to go to church to have God in your life."  The Lord gave me an example of a newborn baby.  If I say I love the baby, oh what a cute baby I have and never feed it, change the diaper, clothe it, clean it, hold it....what will happen to the baby?  That's what happens when we accept Jesus....The relationship is real...it's beautiful...but it needs nurturing.  You find people that believe as you do, who can encourage you, pray for you, you learn songs  in church that will stay with you when you leave.  You listen to music that will feed your spirit.  And most of all, you learn the Word of God.....which teaches you how to live!  Nothing comes before the Word of God!  It is your lamp, your light, your map, your guidebook to living for Jesus.

I left them, telling them how much God loved them.  How much I loved them.  I know I defeated the devil's plans because I obeyed God and got dressed this morning.....I did a U turn in my truck and obeyed the Lord.  I interceded for them after I left them....Everyday is a WAR in the spirit!

He really loves the lost!  Please know this!  HE IS COMING BACK VERY SOON!!!  Interrupt people on the streets, everywhere and give them the gospel, in a tract, with a few sentences....and if God tells you to, preach the gospel in His Power!!!!  Don't be ashamed, don't be intimidated by the devil!   God is anointing those who will go and spread His gospel for such a time as this!

AMEN!

"I Will Save Your Children"

Today I hit the streets with one thought in my mind....Every young man I have shared the gospel with from the time I started in the streets until today, I am a Spiritual mom to them praying and preaching the gospel to them without ceasing, without fear....

Losing my Son Irvin Christopher Kornegay at the age of 32 has been the hardest most heartbreaking ordeal I have ever faced in my lifetime.  Today I was alone in the house and I just wailed, cried and prayed for God to send comfort....it was a hard day but the Lord wanted me to hit the streets tonight and so I did.  It did me a lot of good to be out there....I just wanted to hug them all.

I drove around Salem praying about where to stop, the young men are out there....I approached them and of course some began to scatter but I asked them to come back.  They did....

I talked to them about life being so precious, about hearing that everyone in Salem having a gun, about God's love for them demands a response from them.  I seemed to have run into young men who had people in their families who knew Jesus.  They responded with shaking their heads because they knew I was speaking the truth to them....No opposition from any so-called Muslims tonight.  (They are not adhering to the life of a Muslim because the true Muslims I know live much healthier lifestyles)
.
But the best thing that happened tonight for me is that God reminded me of the Scripture He gave to me a few years ago....Isaiah 49:25, "I will contend with those who contend with you, and your children I will save."  I let them know that they were my Spiritual Children because I pray for them all of the time.  Some of them have mother's on drugs and have had no real love in their lives....the streets are all they know.  But I told them that I am praying for them and have been praying for them, that I love them, and that God has given me a promise that isn't just for my biological sons....but for them as well.

They received my words with such respect and acceptance.  I almost cried right there.
God has given me many sons....He took my baby to heaven, but as my friend Sara White reminded me, Christopher is God's son....He took His son back home....And I will see him again.
And now I have many sons that I am holding up in the throne room....God will save many of them that believe!

I was all over Salem tonight talking to young men and I got the same warm response.  I don't care how many have guns, getting high, stealing, robbing or killing....God said this and I'm standing on it.!  "I will contend with those that contend with you and your children I will save."

I'm claiming this Scripture for the young men in Salem.  They are beautiful young men who are destroying their bodies and their lives....but God will save them!  Amen!

"The Ball Is in Your Court Now"

I cannot count how many times I have heard my Dad say this in the pulpit, on the street, personally to people he was sharing the gospel with...."The Ball Is In Your Court Now"  What that means is after you've heard the gospel, you are accountable to God, you are responsible for the truth that you heard and you must make a decision....In other words, Choose Ye This Day Whom You Will Serve!

Last week, while sharing the gospel with a man who was begging while leaning on a trash can at a  Dunkin Donut shop in Philadelphia I bought him a sandwich and lead him to Jesus right there, he got it!.....The ball (The truth of the gospel was his responsibility and he accepted the Lord right there next to that trash can!)

Confronting some young men on the streets in Salem tonight who needed to be reminded that God loves them, the devil hates them and the only way out is Jesus....that's it in a nutshell!  The ball is in their court and has been in their court because they all knew me, I've talked to them before...they listened, a few walked away but the ones that listened understood that the truth is fearless....One said to me, "I know you mean it and I know who you are because you're out here in the dark  talking to us, you're not fake....Thank you for that."

 Or sitting with a girl who had heard the message of Jesus preached in such power at the Festival of Life, Kensington and as the invitation came forth to make Jesus Lord of their life...she refused to go telling me she was Muslim and was only here with a friend.  And so I sat with her and shared my story with her and what Jesus did in my life.  She could refute the Bible but she couldn't tell me my story wasn't real...I know what Jesus did in my life....and I told her straight up of His mighty power to save.  She still refused, The ball is in her court now.

Don't get discouraged if people don't accept what you are saying, say it anyway!
Don't worry about the fact that people are not open to the truth....once you say it, the ball is in their court!  Remember it is God who draws man to Him.

Keep telling people about Jesus!  The harvest of souls my Father won for Jesus all came to the Lord at different times....sometimes it was years after my Dad talked to them, preached to them, fed them, helped them....

Studying the book of John, we see that Jesus did miracle after miracle and some still refused to believe in Him.  Are we greater than Jesus?  Just keep telling them!

Shout it from the Rooftops!
Jesus is on His way back!

When God fights for you....

I was praying for my country this morning and something I read last night popped into my head again...this time it really disturbed me because this train of thought came from hell itself! Someone wrote "...And don't tell me to pray, Black people have been praying since slavery!" I take serious issue with that statement! It's not the only time I've read something like that, but I can tell you it's a lie from the devil to destroy hope in people and make them think they have to solve this without God. I'm telling you, WITHOUT GOD, IT CANNOT BE DONE.

When David was being pursued by his enemy Saul, he didn't make a sign and go march in front of the palace, gather his mighty men and go after Saul to get vengeance and take his kingdom....He tells the story right here in Psalm 18 of how he prayed and God rescued him...and more importantly...David teaches us the reason God rose up and delivered him. God delivered David because of his heart...Read this chapter...Watch God go after David's enemies....but more importantly read WHY God went into action....

Violence will not help or solve anything....Downplaying praying is a trick from the devil....He was there when God delivered David! He has seen God in action...this is why he is lying to people....We better pray with clean hearts and hands!

Blessings!

Psalm 18
For the director of music. Of David the servant of the Lord. He sang to the Lord the words of this song when the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. He said:

1 I love you, Lord, my strength.
2 The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;
my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield[b] and the horn[c] of my salvation, my stronghold.
3 I called to the Lord, who is worthy of praise,
and I have been saved from my enemies.
4 The cords of death entangled me;
the torrents of destruction overwhelmed me.
5 The cords of the grave coiled around me;
the snares of death confronted me.
6 In my distress I called to the Lord;
I cried to my God for help.
From his temple he heard my voice;
my cry came before him, into his ears.
7 The earth trembled and quaked,
and the foundations of the mountains shook;
they trembled because he was angry.
8 Smoke rose from his nostrils;
consuming fire came from his mouth,
burning coals blazed out of it.
9 He parted the heavens and came down;
dark clouds were under his feet.
10 He mounted the cherubim and flew;
he soared on the wings of the wind.
11 He made darkness his covering, his canopy around him—
the dark rain clouds of the sky.
12 Out of the brightness of his presence clouds advanced,
with hailstones and bolts of lightning.
13 The Lord thundered from heaven;
the voice of the Most High resounded.[d]
14 He shot his arrows and scattered the enemy,
with great bolts of lightning he routed them.
15 The valleys of the sea were exposed
and the foundations of the earth laid bare
at your rebuke, Lord,
at the blast of breath from your nostrils.
16 He reached down from on high and took hold of me;
he drew me out of deep waters.
17 He rescued me from my powerful enemy,
from my foes, who were too strong for me.
18 They confronted me in the day of my disaster,
but the Lord was my support.
19 He brought me out into a spacious place;
he rescued me because he delighted in me.
20 The Lord has dealt with me according to my righteousness;
according to the cleanness of my hands he has rewarded me.
21 For I have kept the ways of the Lord;
I am not guilty of turning from my God.
22 All his laws are before me;
I have not turned away from his decrees.
23 I have been blameless before him
and have kept myself from sin.
24 The Lord has rewarded me according to my righteousness,
according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.
25 To the faithful you show yourself faithful,
to the blameless you show yourself blameless,
26 to the pure you show yourself pure,
but to the devious you show yourself shrewd.
27 You save the humble
but bring low those whose eyes are haughty.
28 You, Lord, keep my lamp burning;
my God turns my darkness into light.
29 With your help I can advance against a troop[e];
with my God I can scale a wall.
30 As for God, his way is perfect:
The Lord’s word is flawless;
he shields all who take refuge in him.
31 For who is God besides the Lord?
And who is the Rock except our God?
32 It is God who arms me with strength
and keeps my way secure.
33 He makes my feet like the feet of a deer;
he causes me to stand on the heights.
34 He trains my hands for battle;
my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
35 You make your saving help my shield,
and your right hand sustains me;
your help has made me great.
36 You provide a broad path for my feet,
so that my ankles do not give way.
37 I pursued my enemies and overtook them;
I did not turn back till they were destroyed.
38 I crushed them so that they could not rise;
they fell beneath my feet.
39 You armed me with strength for battle;
you humbled my adversaries before me.
40 You made my enemies turn their backs in flight,
and I destroyed my foes.
41 They cried for help, but there was no one to save them—
to the Lord, but he did not answer.
42 I beat them as fine as windblown dust;
I trampled them[f] like mud in the streets.
43 You have delivered me from the attacks of the people;
you have made me the head of nations.
People I did not know now serve me,
44 foreigners cower before me;
as soon as they hear of me, they obey me.
45 They all lose heart;
they come trembling from their strongholds.
46 The Lord lives! Praise be to my Rock!
Exalted be God my Savior!
47 He is the God who avenges me,
who subdues nations under me,
48 who saves me from my enemies.
You exalted me above my foes;
from a violent man you rescued me.
49 Therefore I will praise you, Lord, among the nations;
I will sing the praises of your name.
50 He gives his king great victories;
he shows unfailing love to his anointed,
to David and to his descendants forever.

....Washed in the blood of your sacrifice....I am clean!

Tonight while returning home, I missed my street and I drove passed Soul Saving Center.  There sitting on the wall in front of the church in the pitch darkness of night was a guy I've prayed for and he's come to church a few times.  I stopped and backed up and asked him if he was alright.
I couldn't understand what he was saying so I got out of the car and sat down next to him.  He was crying.  He said, "I need God."  "My Life...."  And he went on and on....

All I could think about was how Jesus saves us and we are clean.  I thought of how the people He encountered while He walked this earth were never the same once they believed on Him!  I didn't want this man to be the same!   I ministered to him and told him that Jesus was calling him, drawing him....He wants to make him clean!

I praise God for the time we spent there tonight.  I prayed for him as he cried some more....I know God is drawing him and he's not the only one of the men who walks the streets of Salem with their bottles in their hands....others have shared with me that they need God to change them and I minister and pray with them right there on the street!   They are in such a place of need for God that they don't care that we are in public, on the sidewalk, out in broad daylight!  They need Jesus!

One of the guys who got saved last month told me, "It's like stepping out of old skin and being put in a brand new body!"

2 Corinthians 5:17  "Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature: old
 things are passed away and behold, all things are become new!

Whom the Son sets free, is free indeed!  John 8:36

I  also got to minister to another young man who received the Word as truth even though he is surrounded by others who do not believe the Bible is the infallible Word of God....He needed to hear the gospel tonight and he listened!

God is at Work in Salem, NJ!

Praise God!  Jesus is Saving People!  He's Coming again soon!  #TheBloodStillWorks

My Father's Legacy in action....

Fathers Day is tomorrow... my Dad is in heaven and this is the 2nd Fathers Day without him but I thank GOD because the Lord has been a father to the fatherless and that's me....I went out in the street with this thought in my head...."God is my Father, but If God isn't your father, then the devil is your father and he does not love you!  I had to communicate how much God loves them....that was my message in the streets tonight.


Tonight I started on Chestnut street talking to my cousin.  His 3 year old grandson was hit by a car yesterday but he will be fine, thank God.  As we talked I listened to how he interacts with the kids he's coached, the kids in his neighborhood, the parents of those kids and what comes out of him is the love and wisdom my Dad instilled in him.  He's like my Brother/Cousin...My "Brosin" and was raised with me and my sister for most of his life.  We talked about how Daddy influenced us both and how we have found ourselves on a path that we never imagined...the way he influences the youth in Salem, and me Pastoring Soul Saving Center.....Daddy is living on in us and many more everyday.

After I left my Brosin I headed to Olive St....a lot of young men hang out there and claim to be Muslim. Tonight I really felt drawn to them, although many times they tell me they do not want a tract, or walk away....sometimes they listen....especially when I pray and ask God to hold them there.....well tonight they stayed and one of them mentioned the fact that my Dad started a Boxing program with his Dad....and I mentioned that there was a particular Boxer who went pro under my Dad's guidance and he actually lived with my sister in Atlantic City for a while....someone pointed his son out to me.  I looked at him and told him, "I'm your Aunt!  Your Dad is like my brother!"  He was Muslim but got up and hugged me.  From then on it was easy to pass out tracts to everyone!

I saw a guy on a bike and I gave him a tract and introduced myself.  He said, "You don't know who I am, do you...." No I didn't.....he told me who he was and I couldn't really place him but he began to tell me how badly he was doing, how he needed to change, how he needed something, how he was going down and he needed to talk to me.  He said he was coming to church because he really needed something....I assured him that Jesus is drawing him....and Jesus can change his life for good!

Thank you Daddy for those open doors!

I gave out tracts to everyone hanging out and there were a lot of young men hanging out there.

Next I headed down Broadway and saw a group of young women sitting outside....one of them knew me and when another one realized I was my Dad's daughter she was so glad to meet me!  She knew of my Dad and talked about him in glowing terms....remembering the kind of man he was.  Talking about my Daddy made it easy to smile and reminisce on the way my Dad helped everyone....

Thank you Daddy, your legacy opened that door too!

I then went down Union St and handed out some tracts....some young men greeted me because they know me....and I felt the Lord leading me to Glen Meadows.  But on the way there....

I saw a guy on Magnolia St and I stopped and asked him when I was going to see him in church.  He looked at me and said, "I'm doing so bad, I need a change, I need something....but I don't want people to judge me because I don't have good clothes to wear.  He was in rough shape and he told me that he didn't want me to judge him.  I told him my Dad would never judge him and neither would I.  He began talking about how he loved my Dad and said,  "I believe you and I need to change..."  He sounded desperate, just like the guy on the bike on Olive St.

I went on to Glen Meadow and as I turned in to the street, I saw no one out there so I followed the road around and still saw no one.  Of course I began to pray and ask the Lord for direction and then I saw 3 people sitting on a lawn....drinking and looking like they were waiting for me....in the spirit realm, they were.

I got out of the car and walked up to them....two men and a woman.  I struck up a conversation with them and one of them mentioned that I didn't seem afraid to approach them.  That lead to me being able to tell them that this truth that I am sharing with them is based on love and there is no fear in love.  I talked to them about my Dad and they knew who he was.  One of them even knew who my Uncle is...my Daddy's brother.

One of them shared with me his background with people who claimed to be Christians and were frauds, hypocrites.  They began to talk about how real my Dad was, how real they know that I am...and I began to share my parent's testimony with them, how Jesus invaded our household when I was 6 years old!

It was a great meeting and the woman has been to Soul Saving Center and said she would be coming back.

Oh the field was ready to harvest tonight and the Lord used the legacy of my Dad tonight reach people that I believe I could not have reached on my own.

Happy Fathers Day in Heaven Daddy....

I'm wearing your mantel and God is at work.

PASSING OUT CHICK TRACTS AT THE SALEM BLOCK PARTY!

There's something about a Chick Tract!

People open them right away!  Nobody just stuffs them into their pockets without opening them first!  I Just Love That!!!

I gave out a ton of them tonight at the Salem Block Party and only one person declined!

There is a young woman who is going into long term rehab tomorrow....She's going to do better than she anticipates and God is really going to bless her and make Himself real to her!  We prayed together right there in the middle of all of the partying.

When you've got so many different Chick Tracts to pass out, you really have to pray that the right tract gets in the right hands....Thanks to Claudia Fuse I got to pass out so many different tracks and I know they got in the right hands!

One person said to me, "This place needs this!"  as I gave out tracks.  But this place is so loved by God that there was a station set up with tracks, Bibles, and people interacting with people all in the name of Jesus Christ!

Yes GOD LOVES SALEM!   HE IS AT WORK HERE!!!

Mikki I'm Saved!!!

Just writing these words gives me a Hallelujah fit all over again!  Those were the words my cousin greeted me with tonight as I stopped by his house to let him know I was picking him up for church tomorrow.  He looked so much better!  He kept saying, "Are you proud of me!  Aren't you proud of me, I'm really saved!  Don't I look like it?"  :-)  I was hugging him so hard, I was so grateful to the Lord because this will have an impact on other men that he knows.  I know God is going to use my cousin because he used to be out there drinking himself to death and using drugs too.  Tomorrow he will be sharing his testimony at Soul Saving Center.  Thank you Jesus!!!

After I left him I headed straight up Olive St and of course they were out there getting their weekend holiday on....and funny thing....after I finished grilling for my family (Cause it's National Hamburger Day)  :-)  Anywayz, I was so exhausted from grilling outside in the 90 degree heat,  I thought maybe I will wait because people will probably be so drunk...and may not even be out in this heat....Can't you hear the devil!?  Well the Lord let me know that those thoughts weren't coming from Him real quick and I hurried and made myself presentable to go out into the streets....

As I was saying I came up on a crowd and someone says...Mikki Hinmon!  That's always good when I encounter a group of people and they don't know me from Adam or Eve but someone in the crowd does...God made sure I didn't need an introduction....I just went in....inviting people to church and chatting with them.  One of the guys said, "You are just like your Dad."  That made me smile....

I stopped to talk to some young guys who were battling mosquitoes trying to hang out....I invited them to church and one of them walked up to me, "Hi Aunt Mikki."  Big hugs....That meant they other guys were listening up.....I was his Auntie.....Thank God for connections when I go in the streets.  I gave them a tip on a natural mosquito repellent. Vanilla extract on the pressure points.  It really worked on these mutant mosquitoes in Salem, NJ!  (I googled it and tried it tonight!)

I left them and headed up Broadway but on the corner there were some women sitting out and at first they were very cold and giving me attitude.... they really didn't want to hear what I had to say but God somehow broke the ice with them....they listened, I sang for them, we laughed and when I left they knew that Jesus loves them....I give God all the glory for how He gave me favor so that people would listen to me tonight.

People need to hear that Jesus loves them....Basically they are looking for love in all the wrong places...and once they get over the fact that I just walked up to them out of the blue and started talking about God's Love...and I really mean what I'm saying.....God takes over....
He's really impressing upon me that HE is the One who saves....I am the one who shares the Good News of the Gospel!

I'm so thankful for my cousin receiving Jesus as Lord and Savior!  The Angels are rejoicing and so am I....

I know God will save more people, He's just getting started....There will be a Harvest....He promised me.

Oh What Manner Of Love Is This?!?

This morning I went to the Senior Program my Mother attends and ministered in music and the Word.  God led the way with each song, and with everything I said, I give Him all the glory.
God loves them so much....I was there to remind them of how He wants them to draw nearer to Him....As Evangelist Ted Shuttlesworth said, "These are the end of the end of days."  I ministered to them as if it very well could be our last day on earth....

I feel such urgency!

Tonight I went to the church to pray.  As I got out of my truck I saw some guys hanging out, sitting on the steps of the house on Olive St.  I saw several young people further down the street but I wanted to spend time with my Abba Daddy first.

I interceded for those young men...it seems like I minister to more young men than women....God has His reasons for this, I know.

But when I got up from praying the Lord directed me to go to my truck and fill my pockets and arms full of bottles of water.  I walked over to them and handed out water....and then I told them I was just praying for them....

And then the tears just streamed down my face....as they are now...

 I spoke of how much Jesus loves them!   That was what started the tears...I could just feel how much Jesus loves them!
I talked to them about how broken I was growing up because of the molestation I suffered at the age of six and how it could have destroyed me....But God healed my brokenness.....one of the guys wiped his eyes while I was ministering to them.  They were so receptive I felt the Lord right there.....I talked to them about coming to Jesus....about how He can fix everything that's broken in their lives.  I told them how I know God is going to change their lives because I asked Him to.

I gave another young man some water and told him I was praying for him and right away he said, "I need it, this place needs it!"  You see why the tears won't stop?  God is moving in the hearts of these young men!

I've never shed tears like that in the streets, but I never
worry about what they may think because I am armed with the truth that can rescue their souls! And they were so ready for the gospel.....I could tell the angels were keeping the demons at bay....even though a few were high....they seemed to sober up and hear me....they thanked me....each one of them....Yes, God was right there on that corner!


Please share this gospel every chance you get....

People need the Lord and Jesus is coming again so soon!

RUN..... FALL... GET BACK UP.... WIN!

Those dark issues inside your soul that emerge every now and then and make you feel like you're less than nothing?.... Let them drive you to your knees and cry out to your Abba Daddy who is waiting for you with open arms!   His Son destroyed the works of the devil on the cross and Jesus reigns in Victory!   So when you come to God in TRUE Repentance,  God sees the reflection of His Son in you..... So how can you be less than nothing or a failure?   #Liesthedeviltells #GetbackUpagain #RunthisRace #Finishyourcourse

Useful even in the valley....Praise God!

Today  I was so blessed by the awesome choir from Fight For Families Fellowship under the direction of my beautifully talented cousin Kandi.  The choir was wonderful and the altar service was evidence that Jesus was lifted up....The Lord really moved at Mt. Hope Church in Salem, NJ today.

So afterwards I knew I had to go out in the streets.....I'm so overwhelmed right now because I haven't shared how I've been really feeling with anyone and I could have called any number of Pastors, Spiritual Fathers and friends....but I knew I was in this valley experience and I was just passing through.

With the gas leak at the church that has been fixed and needing a new heating system, all of this has  had an affect on my ministry activity in the streets.  And I'm going to be honest....I felt as if I was not very effective in ministry because I couldn't even have church for about a month....I didn't doubt my calling....God has done too much already for me to even consider that God didn't call me to the ministry....I know that I wear my father's mantel.  I also wear the mantel of ministry God has already placed in me....still I felt like I was just not holding up my end in the vineyard.  Simply put, I was questioning my effectiveness.

 That lasted for all of 4 seconds before I realized it was all the devil....I told him what bus to get on and what stop to get off on in Jesus' Name!   It's just a walk through the valley....His rod and staff are comforting me.  With great assurance I know that.

So back to the streets.....

A girl came up to me on Union St and wrapped her arms around me and said, "Don't act like you don't know who I am!"  I didn't have a clue but it turned out I knew her family.   There was a lot of drug use going on around...and she seemed to be a part of it all.  I talked to the guys first and invited them to church....but the Lord told me to sing to this young lady and her friend....I sang....The Lord said, "They won't forget this."  Sometimes a song is more powerful....and this time it was.

I ventured around the lower end of Olive St. and so many young people were hanging out.  I invited the group to church and of course I hear "I'm Muslim"  so I answer...."And I've been to your Mosques, I've been to Muslim Countries.....If we are all loved by God why so closed?"  He had no answer other than "I'm not into that."  I prayed for him. I ran into a young man that was blitzed out of his mind but God had given me a Word for him a while back and I told him he had promise on his life and he would be saved.  I asked him to take my hand.  I just said, "Confirm your promise to this young man in Jesus' name."  He said, "I'm Muslim" and withdrew his hand from mine.  I said, "I don't care what you are....Jesus is going to save you!"  And I walked away.

God was showing me that He is with me and for me to carry on....cause He would draw all men unto Himself!  I kept thanking God and praising Him in between encounters!

Further up the street on Olive I ran into a pack of young men and women.  I began to talk to them and the preacher rose up and I found myself really speaking things I had no intention of saying.  When I said that drugs are as the sin of witchcraft....They manipulate the mind so that you cannot even think about the gifts, goals and plans you really want for your life.  A young man stopped me and asked why did I say that, Marijuana wasn't wrong in his eyes.....and so we got into a conversation....it was deep, and God was in control of the conversation.   He gave me wisdom as to how to answer every question....They bought up the hypocrites in the church.... And why can't they believe in God and not go to church.

And finally I asked them, when was the last time you had a conversation like this....They said, "Never, really"  I said, "Well, isn't it evident that I was sent here to you by God because of His great love for you?"

They agreed....

I may go through another valley experience, it's okay....I came home hyped about what God has done....

I know He is faithful....He sees what the needs are....He will tend to His church!

As far as me.....I won't grow weary in well doing...because in due season I shall reap if I faint not!

I got it Lord, I got it....

Blessings!  Pray for Salem!  God is in Love with the people here!!!

And worship God while in the valley!  He's Abba....our Daddy!

Peace of Mind in Troubled Times

We as Christians are facing challenges that could be disheartening and downright frightening if the Bible hadn't warned us of all that would occur in the last days; still, the evil in this world can be unsettling to say the least.

Everyone can have an opinion today but Christians cannot....once we express ourselves, standing up for Christian values, we are labeled as "haters" and people are actually losing their jobs because they do not agree with the so-called political correct issues of today.

Isaiah 5:20 says, "Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter."

So how are we to navigate through a world that is becoming increasingly "Anti-Jesus Christ?"

Ephesians 6:13:  "Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand."

You are not standing alone!  There are warrior angels all around and at the sound of your worship, they go into action!  Your worship means you totally trust God against all odds and that very truth is how we defeat the enemy!  

Stand your ground because in the end, God Wins!

"Don't be afraid," the prophet answered. "Those who are with us are more than those who are with them."
2 Kings 6:16

It Is Appointed Once For A Man To Die....

Today, Prince died.  As a musician I was saddened and shocked....as a Christian I wondered what the other side of death was like for him....

I went to the church to pray and afterwards I saw these tracts One Minute After You Die.
I figured what an awesome tract for today....

So I went out in the streets and passed out the tracts and everyone took one!  I didn't say anything to them except "Thank You"  and kept it moving.

I gave out every one and usually someone always says, "No Thanks"  or "I'm Muslim"  or they just walk away when they see me coming.  Death kinda stops people in their tracks.....It's real and everyone is going to die....

I prayed while walking home that the Holy Spirit would speak to them and enlighten their minds reveal the plan of Salvation as never before to them.

God is still saving people....we just have to keep sharing the gospel!

Keeping the Message Alive in Their Hearts

Yesterday our tent dweller and I Cleaned the stairwell of the church,  removing the tent and beer bottles out.   He hugged me and thanked Connie and me for caring about him throughout the winter months.   He asked if he could hug me...He is much kinder man since the first time I met him and I told him what I always tell him.... God has a real life waiting for you,  just come to Jesus and give him your life!  He listened intently.   He was very apologetic about the beer bottles and really helped me clean up!!   Nearby some guys were hanging out and looking like they were one drink away from the grave.   I talked to them about my Dad a bit..... They knew him and his message still rang true in their ears.... I know this because of how they responded to me.   My Dad told everybody about Jesus.    I think about the messages so many have received here.... The god of this world has blinded their minds so they cannot receive this glorious gospel.... But in the Book of Mark,  Jesus told the parable  of the Sower.... Seeds fall everywhere.... I just have to keep sowing the seeds....,  there will be a harvest!!!   The message.... The Good News is still alive and powerful!!!

There is so much work to do in Salem among people like these men.... I'm so glad I'm studying the book of Mark.... It's a thorough education on the teachings of Jesus.   Thank God for His Word!  Thank God for a heart and mind to share Jesus with the lost.

A Great Conversation!

Wow!  It's been a while since I have ventured into the streets....but today was such a beautiful day....I couldn't wait to take a Prayerwalk and see where God would lead me.

I walked quite a ways and then ended up on the corner of Olive St and Broadway where some guys were hanging out.  I prayed about what to say to the young men who were there and what came out of my mouth was:

"God Loves You, and when you feel something inside of you telling you that you need to make a change, if you feel something isn't right with your life and  you know it's God knocking....Just say "Yes"  Don't try to change yourself, just say Yes to Him and He will do all of the work.  He really loves you!"

A guy was on the phone and asked me what I said because he didn't hear me,  I pretty much told him the same thing.

This young man was the peer leader of the group.  He grew up in Salem but now lives elsewhere but comes back to talk to the young brothers, he used to be worst than all of them he told me.  He had the respect of all of the guys out there, I could see....  After I left him I knew why God chose him for me to spend time with.....And we blocked everyone out and really had a great conversation!  God is so awesome!

He didn't believe in the Bible, the Koran or any religious book because he felt they were created to manipulate and control "Our People."  I shared my testimony with him.  Because when you talk to people who don't believe the Bible the most powerful tool you have at your disposal is Your Testimony!  Who can refute what God did in  your life?  And so I spoke of the freedom I now live in, the peace of God that surrounds me that lives in me, the hope of eternal life and a love so strong that I had to stop and talk to him about it!

He didn't believe in the afterlife....He didn't know what happens after you die.  He said no one can know....who came back from the dead and told us what would happen?  No one!  I answered him with the Word...."It is appointed once for man to die.... and after death comes the judgement!"

I asked him to explain more of his belief system to me.  I listened and after he talked, Bible verses kept coming....after a while he got used to me answering him with references to the Bible.  I never interrupted him but I never forgot what he said, (Which I tend to do sometimes)  that was God storing up His Word in my head to give back when it was my turn to talk.

We talked about some of the horrible things that happened both of our lives.  The difference was between him and me is that God healed me, I chose to forgive and I live in Freedom.....He on the other hand told me he lives with rage....that unfair thing that happened to his family member makes him want to kill the person that did it.  That was another opportunity to share how powerful my God is to make things right that were oh so wrong, and how He is all powerful to heal and to save! 


He and I talked until it began to get dark outside.  I told him I didn't want to leave him but I have a curfew....  He then began to ask me to pray for the rage that lives in him .....I told him I would pray....We shook hands......

As I walked away towards home I prayed for him. I  prayed about the rage he feels and will continue to pray for him that God unravels the false belief system that will land him in hell and that God does miraculous things in his life.   You pray too!

It was soo good to be out there today!

Seeds and The Prodigal Sons....

This early evening was a beautiful time to walk through Salem.  I got to share the gospel with some very special people....Young men that God is married to....Backsliders....Prodigal Sons....

I realized while I was walking and praying before I encountered anyone that God was going to get the glory out of my time in the streets....I just knew it but I didn't know what He was going to do...I just asked Him to lead me as I walked....

I started out on Union St and talked to some young guys about a New Start in Jesus....If any man be in Christ Jesus He is a New Creation...the hugs, the Word....All good stuff!   Praise God!!!


I did the same thing on Olive St and walked down Broadway when I encountered my first young Prodigal who agreed with everything I said and was mouthing some of the Scriptures I was quoting....He knew the Word....He knew the truth but he was not Free.....The  Lord was ministering to him as I shared the Love of Jesus and how precious he is to the Lord.  I invited him to church and left him there remembering that God loved him....God had not forgotten him....

I encountered so many more people on the streets...all receptive to this glorious gospel of Jesus Christ!
The next group of young boys were hanging out on Walnut St and they were hanging out like they were practicing to be the "dudes on the corner."  I shared with them the greatness that God put in them...and that they will be all they can be and more once they give their lives to Jesus because He has great plans for their lives....It was a good talk and I invited them to church.

But when I turned the corner onto Wesley St there was another Prodigal Son....I didn't know who he was but he knew me.  He told me that he used to walk with Jesus but he left God.  He didn't even want to say the words, "I left God"  It was like it was something he didn't want to hear himself say.   He asked me to give him time....I told him, "Now you know I have no control over how much time you have..."  I walked and talked with him a little further and told him not to wait too long because Jesus is coming so very soon!

I turned up Olive Street again...which I don't normally do, if I hit a street, I go another way...but I got to the corner of Olive and Broadway and had a conversation with woman and a man that really needed to hear the gospel.  I gave them the Word in Love and they knew what I was saying was true.  They grew up in church....someone had planted the seeds already.....I happened along to water....God will give the increase.

I got by the Liquor store a few feet away and in a car were sitting two guys....they were brothers...someone had just left their car and they were cursing and carrying on...still the Lord had me walk up to the car....the brothers knew me and I knew them....I knew that they knew the Word of God I remembered them when we were all much younger singing in church and worshiping God.  They knew me too and after the ruckus that took place just before I approached their car, they looked like they weren't ready to hear about Jesus.....But I talked to them and told them it was time to get out of that life....I said you know the truth and you living a life that you know God did not call you to live....I reminded them that Jesus was coming....SOON!  They nodded and told me they knew what I was saying was true and I continued to give them the Word....It was amazing how quiet and attentive they were.  It was if the Holy Spirit was holding them captive as I shared Jesus with them....They avoid everything "Jesus" so as not to be reminded of who they are....Backsliders who God is married to....but it was beautiful....the whole scene...in front of the Liquor Store....Jesus being high and lifted up....the devil kept at bay...and the situation just before I got there with the cursing and carrying on....it was as if it never happened. God is so amazing!

I continued to walk, headed home and I encountered another Prodigal Son....I talked to him and he recognized me.....I talked to him about his soul and there was another agreeing with every word...someone had planted a seed....I was watering....

So many seeds have been sown in this town called Peace....So many Prodigal Sons....So much Love the Father has for them all.....Thank you God for this Saturday evening!  It was Fruitful!!!  God Loves Salem, NJ and He is at work here!!!

.....Angels pushed her towards me....

The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. 2 Corinthians 4:4 <> <> I praise God for what just happened! I am not going to my personal page on FB for a few days because I am on a quest to know Him more, grow in Him more, I want more of Jesus! I need God to lead me as I lead Soul Saving Center's ministry in 2016....But I had to share what just happened. I was at the bank making a deposit and an elderly white lady leaves the counter and instead of walking around me as I was in line, she walked directly towards me....I thought to myself, "Is she going to walk over me?" But she walked up to me and said, "I hope nobody asks me how I'm doing because I've got 30 problems right off the back and I'm just getting started." I said to her, "Give them to God, He can help you." She said to me, "Aw, He can't help me, He's too tired." I was spiritually offended by her remark and then I was more angry at the devil for lying to her.... She slowly walked out the door with her cane, and I followed her... I quietly said, " Excuse me Ms, God is All Powerful! He can do anything! He Loves YOU!" She began to raise her voice at me, "I don't want to hear that!!!" I quickly responded, "You need to know that Jesus Loves You! the devil is lying to you! God is All Powerful to deliver you!" She kept yelling, she didn't want to hear what I was saying. I told her, "You walked up to me....God had you walk up to me!" She slowly walked off and I went back into the bank. When I got in my car, she was parked right next to me. I had begun to quietly intercede for her once I left the bank and when I saw her next to my car I really interceded for her. I came home and told my Mom what happened and she said, "She will never forget what you said. God is dealing with her." I realize angels pushed her in my way. God is getting her attention.....He doesn't want her to enter eternity without the chance to make Jesus Lord of her life..... As I seek God for Soul Saving Center and for all that he is placing in my heart....I praise Him for just letting me know that the war is always raging and He has counted me as one of His soldiers! Praise God!
