It has been a very long since I last posted a blog. Sorry! Been a little busy.
God is so faithful to us. This Christmas, though hetic, has been a good Christmas. I enjoy seeing the lights and decorations. I personally enjoy giving away gifts and doing things for people. It thrills me to see the smiles and happy moments. Someone once said and we have a picture of this saying framed in our bathroom that, "Life is not measured by time but by the moments we share." Such a true and powerful statement. Time can be short, but those moments can last forever.
When is the last time you spent some quality time with the people you love? When is the last time you told them you loved them? How long has it been since you held their hand?
Moments can last forever, your time on earth won't. Merry Christmas
Until Next time....Keith

Anointing this Generation
I worked NC senior high camp last week at dean and evangelist one night. As the week progressed I have found it critical that we anoint this generation and teach them the power of our God. Of course, that requires us walking in the power and anointing of God. I am not sure how many in my generation and older are doing that.
This young emerging generation is key to revival. They are key to breakthrough. We must teach them the ways of the Lord so that they may rise up and be the energy the church needs. We must fight for them. We must pray over them. We must guard and guide them in the Holy Spirit.
What are you doing to anoint this next generation?
It is time we be about the father's business and part of that business is anointing this next generation for greatness. Not just for tomorrow but for now. They are the key components now.

Wanting to know God
Have you ever had a desire to know God like never before? Just to know him and not to come to him for anything but for HIM? I guess that is where my heart has been for a few days now. The older I get the more "stuff" does not matter. I would rather have HIM, the Lord Strong and mighty. Things et old, God never does. The things of this world will pass away, HE will never be dethroned. I rather have God.
I dont know where to even begin how I feel God drawing. I am getting read for camp and thinking about all these young people makes me long for God even more. How this generation needs to have a longing for the Lord like never before. What is sad the generation before them never had that type of passion.
So do you long for God? For his Glory and Power? His grace? I do!

Deep Impact
I have been thinking (I know that is dangerous)about some life changes that have deep impact. You know things like graduating High School or college, getting married, having childrent, death, and other things. These and other deep impacting events change our lives forever. Some times our decisions, good or bad, tell us much about ourselves. The change that takes place from those deep impacting decisions or sudden changes that cause deep impact is sometimes challenging.
It is with this thought I wonder how anyone can handle the changes of life without God. Deep Impact moments will come to us all. How we handle them says alot about us and our relationship with God. You see when we are in a vital and intimate relationship with God we can handle all deep impacting moments with His grace. You see God's grace is always sufficient. He is always more than enough. There are times in our lives that we will have Deep Impact. Yet God is so much greater than these deep impacting moments.
Who will you trust when the Deep Impact moment arrives? How will it change you? Will the moment wreck havoc or will you allow the Spirit of God to speak peace and calm?
Deep Impact, those moments will come. When they do, hold on tight to the unchanging hand of God, it is always secure when deep impact occurs.

Been a while
It has been a while since I have posted. Time gets away from us more than we think. So much has happen since the last time I posted a blog it would be hard to catch up.
Since I last posted I have gotten very busy. Extremely busy, but that is a good thing of sorts and bad in others. My pastor has gotten very sick. Bro Norris has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in stage 4. So with that I have taken on more responsibilities to help him with our church.
God has been blessing our church with great attendance of late. We are grateful for that. HE knows what we need.
A lot of people are asking "why" this disease would hit our pastor. The realitiy is that it could hit any of us. It is life. Unfortunately life has it many up and downs. Thank God that he is there for those up and down moments. God's presnece is so powerful and when we walk in the shadow of the valley of death it is really true that we do not have to fear. God is already there.
So I am grateful for his presence. I am grateful for the fact that he holds the future and I am grateful to know He is already in the future.

I haven't posted much lately
... I think about it but somehow never seem to get to it. So let me catch up on some thoughts.
First, I praise God for protecting my wife and healing here. HE really has touched her knee. Lynda, my wife, has been released by the doctor to take it easy and be cautious but resume her daily life activities. For this we are grateful..
Second, things are hopping. Friday night we had a lock-in which was a blast. This lockin was at Laser Quest in Charlotte. Chasing people with laser tags and stuff really can be fun when you are completely delirious.
Thirdly, we are preparing to start using our new family life center at church. What an exciting time this is. It is noteworthy that this is a critical moment for our church. Will we take the plunge into his grace even more or will we be satisfied with what we got. I say let us dive in. Go deep. God is always there.
And finally from my heart,
Over the last few months God has really burden me with the thoughts and prayers for revival. For the last two Sunday nights that is what I have preached. God wants to bring revival to our area, city, county, church, state, and America. I wonder how many of us really want revival. Are we willing to pay the price for revival? What will it cost us? Are we hungry enough for this revival? These questions keep pounding away in my head. Just how hungry are we for revival? It will mess up our schedules. Revival will keep us on our knees praying. God sent revival will never be contained in the four walls of a church. So are we really ready for revival? For me the answer is yes and if God knowing my heart sees that it is a no, I pray that HE search me and know me and see if there is any wicked way in me. I want revival. I want to see thousands of young people saved. I want to share in the experience of people being healed. My desire is to uplift the name of the Lord and really know him. I want revival. What do you want?
Just some thoughts, simply because I am up at 3:31am because I have been praying and my heart is heavy. I want revival. God sent revival. I am praying for it are you?

Just thinking some
Today has been a great day. This morning we were so blessed to have Russian Missionary Dimitry with us. This missionary was so powerful with his testimony of God's grace and mercy in his life. It was wonderful to hear how God is moving in our brothers and sisters in Siberia. The passion of Dimitry was incredible. And all of this got me to thinking...
Where is the passion for God in our American brother and sisters? We often talk about revival but we don't ever see it. Yet there are some ministries, missionaries and preachers that are changing nations by God's power and grace. It thrills me to hear them and their reports. However, I want to see God move today in our homeland, in America. We need revival.
Lately God has been leading me to pray for revival in my local chuch. It has been a rallying cry in my heart. Souls are lost, so called christians just come bored out fo their mind to church, apathy reigns and passion and prayer are not active. And we wonder why we do not have revival.
From an evangelistic point of view I can tell you why
* We do not pray enough - most are very lax in their prayer - even ministry people
* We do not know enough of the word - most can't quote basic scripture
* We do not have vision for souls - we talk about it, but talking and vision are two seperate things
* We do not worship God like we need too
* We do not have faith to see the mircales that spark revival
* We do not give until hurts
* We are self oriented not God oriented - In some churches it is all about us
These are just a tidbit of what I think is happening to the American church. For us to become a nation of revial we must be come a church that prays. It is the first step. We must repent and as we repent passion will be restored and revival released.
Just some thoughts, more to come

Challenges
We live in a world full of challenges. All of us know that life is full of them. Right now Lynda and I are facing one of those life challenges. I have learned in this past few weeks that God gives us such grace for them. Most challenges come unexpectant. There is never any warning. However when they come so does God's grace. The Lord is so faithful to help us.
So as we meet this challenge with Lynda's injury we meet it prayer, fasting and God's grace. That is how we meet every challenge we ever meet.

A devotional by my friend Steve Henry
My friend and fellow church goer Steve Henry writes a daily devotional that is just powerful. Each day is a devotional that blesses me tremedously.
This is today's devotional
Those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. (Rom_8:5-6)
The crucial choice that believers in Christ face day by day is between living by the flesh or living by the Spirit. The difference concerns facing life by our resources and perspectives or by God's. "Those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit." When a Christian deals with life by his flesh, he typically thinks about "what I want out of my life" or "what I can accomplish with my life." Conversely, when a Christian deals with life by the Spirit, he typically thinks about "what GOD wants for my life" or "what GOD can accomplish through my life."
The consequences related to this choice are monumental. "For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace." When a believer allows his mind to be set in a carnal direction, he will be thinking about worldly self-indulgence ("what I can get out of this") or religious self-accomplishment ("what I can do for GOD"). The result of either carnal perspective is "death" (spiritual deadness). On the other hand, when a follower of Jesus sets his mind on heavenly matters, he will be considering issues of humility ("how much I need the Lord") or faith ("how great the Lord is"). The results of such spiritual thoughts are "life and peace" (spiritual vitality and spiritual tranquility).
Another analysis of these two options can be seen in the contrast between the "works of the flesh" and the "fruit of the Spirit." When we put our hope in our own capabilities, our flesh produces deeds such as "adultery, fornication, uncleanness, licentiousness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like" (Gal_5:19-21). Contrariwise, when we place our expectations upon the Lord, His Spirit brings forth through us fruit like "love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control" (Gal_5:22-23).
Consider this fundamental truth. These "flesh-Spirit" choices are what all of us will face every day of our lives. The persistency of these issues is inherent in the fact that God only offers two options for every issue of life; namely, "live according to the flesh" or "live according to the Spirit."
O Sovereign Lord, I bow to Your wisdom and authority that offers these two choices alone. Lord, I renounce the natural path of my flesh which brings severe, but deserved, consequences. I gladly embrace the supernatural path of Your Spirit, which brings the undeserved results of Your grace at work in me, Amen.

Taking care of the wife
It has been a fun week so far. This past weekend I took 48 people including myself, to ski. God blessed. We did have two accidents though and that was not fun at all. One happens to be my wife. So for the last several days I have been talking care of her.
She always takes care of me, so I guess I am just returning the favor in a sense. Lynda keeps apologizing, but I tell, I signed up for this when I said "I do." Well that got me to thinking. SO many people don't do what they 'sign up for." Things happen in life, sickness come, disease sometimes hit, and sometimes your wife falls down a mountain while skiing. However, for better or worse, us husbands are suppose to be there. I enjoy taking care of her. I do it to honor her and protect her. Also, I am worried sick about her because the swelling has not gone down. Plus we cannot see the specialist until Thursday. However, there is a Great Physician and He has all power to heal. So I pray, and take care of Lynda. I pray some more and when I am done I pray again. God is always faithful and He will guide us through this time.

Just some thoughts
Why do people doubt God? I know we all have at some point or another. However, it is just amazing that people doubt God so much. We pray prayers yet do not wait for answers. We call for his help but think he is to slow in giving his help. So doubt sets in and we do our own thing only to wind up in more trouble.
Why do people doubt God? Do we really believe He and HE alone can answer any prayer? Matthew 7:7-8 tell us if we "ask, seek and knock, that we will receive, find and it will be open." Somehow though people just don't believe that. Or at least their actions do not show they believe it.
Our God, who the Bible says there is none beside him none above him, the one who put this all together, is the one to whom we pray. He has the power to do all, but He limits himself to our faith. So mighty, so powerful, so gracious and mericful, so loving and caring, so compassionate, yet we live in doubt.
God has such plans for us according to Jeremiah 29:11, yet we do our own planning, instead of waiting. Doubt kills every move of God. Doubt will destroy the plans God has for you.
God desires the best for us. If we will trust him, he will give us the very best. He is a good father who knows how to give good gifts to his kids.
Trust Him!!! With all that is in you, Trust him

Why not trust God?
Often times I find it a bit amusing that people pray yet do not believe. To me why waist the breath you have in prayer if you are not going to BELIEVE God to answer that prayer? Prayer is the key to seeing miracles and things done. Yet many say a few words and never prevail in prayer to see the answer. They give up, quite, praying or just get frustrated. It does not work like that.
We must pray until we see it happen. You cannot back down or back away. You must pray and then pray some more. God never said it would be easy, but He always promises to answer us. So pray!!! Pray some more! Pray again! Then watch your answer come

Catching up
Well it has been a while since I have blogged. We have had snow galore over the last few weeks. Not sticking but none the less we had it. Here it wrecks havoc. So much for global warming. School is going very hetic. And I have to get caught up. I have my first test tomorrow. Not looking forward to it.
We had a powerful youth service in January. God brought some deliverences to people and this we are grateful for. I am praying for a tremendous move of the Spirit as we progress toward HIS coming. God is moving and I want to move with him.

Being Blessed
God's faithfulness flows to us all like rivers that are full and fresh. His grace is never stagant. Likewise, God always supplies our needs according to His riches in glory.
This year, 2009, I have already been blessed beyond measure. He continues to surprise me and bless. I am overwhelmed at the love and grace God extends toward me and it makes me want to work even harder for him.
So let me give you a little testimony. First, God is always good, regardless, God is good. Second, I was able to purchase hearing aids this year. For those of you who know me well know what a blessing this is. Third, I just happen to mention to my pastor on Monday that I needed a truck. Lynda is starting school next week and having only one vehicle will not work now. So she and I have been praying for months. My pastor came to me on Tuesday morning and said "I think I have found you a truck." It is the same truck I have mentioned to Lynda before as we drove by this place. Not only was it way under our price range the, the owner of the place is a member of our church. He so graciously gave us a incredible deal. Exactly what we had prayed for.
I am one to believe God has store house of blessings for his people. At the midnight hour of 2008/2009, Lynda and I prayed that we would be blessed alot, our territory would enlarge, that God would lay his hand upon us and keep us from evil that we may not cause pain. God has done that
I expect even more blessings and I expect to work even harder for God this year
Until Next time.... Keith

Been A While
It has been a while since I have blogged. So to start the new year off right I am going to get more into my blogging.
The year 2009 has arrived and is already a few days old. It was a busy year for me in 2008. Many changes and adjustments were the norm. We have now been in Rockingham a year. I thank God for all He has done for us. Lynda and I give God praise for a good year and His faithfulness.
The year of 2009 looks good. Lynda will start school soon and I am already in school. Working on two papers tonight and I HAVE TO FINISH THEM. Keep telling me that please.
With every new year I go on a fast. This is no different. This year my prayer is to draw closer to God. To seek him first. Everything else will fall into place. I use to pray to be a powerful minister, have great success in ministry, to walk in anoiting and stuff like that. It is all important. However, hear lately my hearts cry is just to know God. To know him personally. To know his son, Jesus, like never before. Ringing in my ears has been Matt 6:33, to seek HIM first and everything else will be added to you. I sometimes struggle with that. Seems church work often time comes first instead of my relationship with God. I want that to change. So in 2009 I pledge to myself, God and those who read this, that seeking God is first.
I hope you all have a great year.

Until Next Time....Keith
The year 2009 has arrived and is already a few days old. It was a busy year for me in 2008. Many changes and adjustments were the norm. We have now been in Rockingham a year. I thank God for all He has done for us. Lynda and I give God praise for a good year and His faithfulness.
The year of 2009 looks good. Lynda will start school soon and I am already in school. Working on two papers tonight and I HAVE TO FINISH THEM. Keep telling me that please.
With every new year I go on a fast. This is no different. This year my prayer is to draw closer to God. To seek him first. Everything else will fall into place. I use to pray to be a powerful minister, have great success in ministry, to walk in anoiting and stuff like that. It is all important. However, hear lately my hearts cry is just to know God. To know him personally. To know his son, Jesus, like never before. Ringing in my ears has been Matt 6:33, to seek HIM first and everything else will be added to you. I sometimes struggle with that. Seems church work often time comes first instead of my relationship with God. I want that to change. So in 2009 I pledge to myself, God and those who read this, that seeking God is first.
I hope you all have a great year.
