Reaching Your Full Potential

WOW! What an awesome Service we had. If you missed it, go to our website and see it for yourself. www.breathoflifechurch.com

Philippians 3:13-14 (King James Version)

¹³Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,

¹⁴I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

We can only reach our full potential in Christ by allowing Him to make us in every area of our life. It's when the squeeze is on, that we really see what you are made up of on the inside. We see what comes out. In addition, Paul said in 2 Corinthians 3:6 that Christ has made him an able minister of the gospel. Being made an able minister; one who is able to withstand the pressue and temptations that come along with your career. Paul was made into an "able minister". One who was tested in many aspects and points resulting in the development of his character and intergrity.

Hosea 7:8 talks about Ephraim being half baked. Don't allow the enemy to convince you, that you don't need to pray everyday, or say I'm sorry. It's the foxes that spoil the vine.

Don't walk around 1/2 baked, because you carry failures, disappointments, should of - could of's and would of's around with you. Paul said in Phil 3:13 to forget those things that are behind and reach unto.... We have to release that which is poison, intrusive thoughts that are dream killers.

I encourage you today, to run after that dream - deep inside. It's not too late! God destiny and will for your life is still yet to unfold. The best is yet to come! Even if you think you have experienced success - God wants you to know "YOU AIN'T SEEN NOTHING YET"!

God Bless,

See what you Speak

It's Friday! The weekend is here. Make sure you make plans to come out this weekend. It's going to be awesome.

Also be watching our website, we will be having a new Live Show. It starts August 24,2009. Were Calling it "Wake Up with the Pastors Mark & Veronica." Times will be on the website www.breathoflifechurch.com

1 Kings 18:44 (King James Version)And it came to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there ariseth a little cloud out of the sea, like a man's hand. And he said, Go up, say unto Ahab, Prepare thy chariot, and get thee down that the rain stop thee not.

In life we are faced with problems and success. Instead of speaking what you See, you should speak the Word of God and that is what you see. The servant didn't see anything until the 7th time. He had to continue to speak what the Word of God said would happen, until he saw what He spoke.

Whatever situation you are in good or bad, speak what His Word states about it and that is what you see. The bible states out of the abundance of the heart the mouth will speak. Seeing is believing, so what you speak according to the Word of God is what you will see. It's not what you see you speak, because if you speak what you see, instead of speaking what God has already purposed and planed, then you will not be able to see what His outcome is.

Elijah's servant said I see a man's fist, that was all Elijah needed to hear. Because after you speak, and see what you have spoken according to His word, then you will hear what He has said would happen.

Today, take time out and speak what God states about your life and situations, and then you will be able see clearly.

God Bless,

More Excellent Way

It's Wednesday and only 2 more days. Don't miss tonight it, I will be starting a new series.

1 Corinthians 12:31 (King James Version)

But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.

There are many different ways of accomplish things in our life, but there is only one way to accomplish those thing in our life and have good success. This is doing God's will, His way, and with His wisdom and strategy.

Vision stays the same, but the strategies change. Paul declares to us a more excellent way. The best and most productive way of handling, accomplishing, and changing things.

Isaiah 55:9 (The Message)
8-11"I don't think the way you think. The way you work isn't the way I work." God's Decree."For as the sky soars high above earth, so the way I work surpasses the way you work, and the way I think is beyond the way you think.Just as rain and snow descend from the skies and don't go back until they've watered the earth,Doing their work of making things grow and blossom, producing seed for farmers and food for the hungry,So will the words that come out of my mouth not come back empty-handed.They'll do the work I sent them to do, they'll complete the assignment I gave them.

Today, consider His way, His method, and His wisdom. His track record has never been beaten and His return on investment is out of this World.

God bless,

Pastor Mark

Triple A

Wow! What an awesome service we had. Don't miss a service for anything.

John 15:16 (King James Version)

Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

You have been appointed, anointed, and approved by God. Many times when we except positions, start a business, get married, start having children- we can feel unqualified, even though we know what to do. The reason is the enemy likes to get us to doubt about what God has already promised we could have and do.

In this passage of scripture Jesus explained that He chooses us and if we allow Him, the choices in our life. He has the best method and strategy to accomplish every goal in life. But the key is knowing that you have been qualified by God- anointed, appointed, and approved.

Paul said this about his past. Paul said in I Corinthians 7 that He has wronged no man. Even though he killed men, women, and children and was apart of the first martyr for Christ. He went on the say I press toward the mark of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. He realized it's not by His works that qualified him to preach the gospel, no it was God who called, anointed, appointed, and approved him.

Today, know that you have been anointed to do what you do, appointed not only by man, but by God, and that you have been approved not only by man, but by God. And He will see you through.

God Bless,

Pastor Mark

The Law Of Increase

It's Friday! Don't miss this Sunday. I will be starting a brand new series on the Book of Acts.

This is going to change your life forever. I can't wait till Sunday.

Mark 8:3-5 (King James Version)

3And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far.

4And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness?

5And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.

The Law of Increase is the more that we give, the less we have, but the more we end up with. God can do more with less. The more we give, the less we will have, but we will end up with more than we gave. It is the same with our lives. The more we give of ourselves, with our time, talents, and treasures, the less we have of ourselves, the more God can do with us.

Too many Christians are so full of themselves that they have less of God. We must be sowers not just sow. Every one can sing, but there are some people who are singers. Christians should be regular sowers-givers.

On our job with our co-workers are we sowers sowing words of encouragement, buying them lunch, coming to work on time. Don't hold back on what you should give, if we do it will lead to poverty.

Jesus fed 5,000 people with 5 loaves of bread and ended up with 12 baskets left over. He ended up with more than what He had when He started. We will never lose what we give, but we are looking for increase.

Don't be afraid to allow God to do more with the less we have. Every one of us should become a sower, one who practices sowing on a regular basis.

God Bless,

Pastor Mark

Forecast

It's Wednesday half way through the work week and the best is yet to come. I want to invite all to come out to our weekly Bible Study. Don't miss it.

1 Kings 18:41 (King James Version)

And Elijah said unto Ahab, Get thee up, eat and drink; for there is a sound of abundance of rain.

The question is always what do you see and hear. Even though the economy is the way it is; and though we are at war, I see the abundance of rain. I see my financial economy growing and expanding. I hear God releasing the blessing of God in every area of my life.

In this passage of scripture Elijah had said that it would not rain for 3 1/2 years, then he prayed for it to rain again. You see everything in life is temporary. The only thing that is permanent is our salvation in Christ. The problems you may be facing today, will pass.

The bible states where sin abounded, grace did much more abound. No matter how bad it may get, the forecast is...brighter days are ahead of you. The forecast for our life if we chose to, is an abundant life...living on the abundant side of life.

Today, now that you have received your forecast, go out and win. Go see every promise and dream that God has put in our heart come to pass. All we have to do is do what Elijah did pray and hear.

God Bless,

Pastor Mark

Think Big

What an Awesome Service we had yesterday! If you missed it you can go to our website and view it. www.breathoflifechurch.com

Isaiah 54:2-3 (New Living Translation)

² “Enlarge your house; build an addition.
Spread out your home, and spare no expense!
³ For you will soon be bursting at the seams.
Your descendants will occupy other nations
and resettle the ruined cities.

The greatest experience in life is accepting Jesus as our Lord and Savior. We then were able to look at life as no limits and no boundaries to what God can accomplish in our life. God tells us to enlarge or think big.

Thinking big means that nothing is impossible for God to do or fix. God's way of doing tasks and projects have the greatest return of investment in our lives.

If you are believing for something or are doing what you have been waiting to do, don't limit God on how or when, just know He will.

Verse 3 of this same chapter tells us to expect what God said will come. Just as a woman when she is pregnant prepares for the coming of her baby, so are we to prepare for what God has told us will happen. Don't wait till the last moment, start preparing right now. Because He said it will come.

Matthew 13:8 stays that it will come in 30, 60, and 100 fold, but it will come to full maturity.

God Bless,

Pastor Mark
