A Word For Wednesday, Try A Little Kindness

Good Morning! Thank you for joining us today. We are so happy to bring you A Word For Wednesday. A few moments ago I posted A Word for Wednesday on our YouTube Channel. Please give it a listen and leave us a comment here or on YouTube.

The people around us could use a little more kindness and we as Christians should be leading the charge. Kindness can become contagious but so can rudeness, anger and animosity. What will we choose to spread to those we encounter this week. The people in our path could probably use a good dose of kindness. 

I related a story today and this is the source: Hilla Benzaken, “How a Hidden Note Spread Ripples of Kindness,”

Thank you for stopping in today.

Odie 's PFYC 2024 Notes NO Other Gods

Hey Friends,

This is Odie reporting from Ohio. How are you? I hope you had a great weekend. I know I sure did!

I returned home Saturday evening from Tennessee. My friend Michelle Bostwick and I traveled to Pigeon Forge on Wednesday. We joined the other 5,000 people who attended the Pentecostal Fire Youth Conference. We had a wonderful time!

Michelle was a great chauffeur! Thanks, Chelle, for helping me all weekend! She gladly handleled my wheelchairs, it was always service with a smile! I am blessed with excelent friends that help me so much! I really enjoyed getting to spend extra time with her!

PFYC is one of my all time favorite events to experience. There is something so powerful about gathering with that many people to have church.

Every spring PFYC takes place at the LeConte Center in Pigeon Forge. It is two days with four power packed life changing services! It is a special weekend for the young people and the young at heart. I am always glad to attend when I get the opportunity!

It is always great to see so many friends a PFYC! I am working on combing through pictures from the meeting. I will share those soon!

Today I have my notes from the services. Every preacher did wonderfully! God anointed them to speak the truth to us! I also included a picture of each preacher with my notes below. My notes are in conjunction with the published conference schedule from the PFYC website.

A Word For Wednesday - Watching God Put Things Together

Good Morning! Thank you for joining us today. We are glad to be back. We are so happy to bring you A Word For Wednesday. A few moments ago I posted A Word for Wednesday on our YouTube Channel. Please give it a listen and leave us a comment here or on YouTube.

I have quite a story to tell you today about watching God put things together in lives that would not have been done otherwise. 

This is a story over sixteen years in the process and is still unfolding in the life of a young man we became acquainted with late last year. I am excited to behold what God is doing and will do in the days ahead.

I wonder what God is doing in our lives right now that we know nothing about. Can you give God some time and space to work? He is worth waiting on, friend.

Thank you for watching today.

A Word For Wednesday, There Is No God Like Our God!

Good Morning! Thank you for joining us today. We are glad to be back. We are so happy to bring you A Word For Wednesday. A few moments ago I posted A Word for Wednesday on our YouTube Channel. Please give it a listen and leave us a comment here or on YouTube.

I love this verse. It has spoken deep into my heart the last month or more.

II Samuel 7:22 Wherefore thou art great, O LORD God: for there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

Hallelujah! Our God is great. There is no God like our God. There is no God beside our God. According to everything we have heard with our ears, there is no God like our God!

First Sermon Since A Stroke 80 Days Earlier, The Power of Imperfect Faith

This past Sunday was a memorable day for our family. Our pastor, Bro. Bennie Sutherland called a few days earlier and asked me to preach Sunday morning. I was apprehensive, but many were praying for me and the Lord stood by me and blessed me that morning. We are thanking God for his blessings. 

Odie recorded a very short video from the front pew and that is the only video we have from the sermon. 

It was captured on audio. I have loaded the audio onto our YouTube channel and it will go live at 8 PM Eastern tonight, Friday night, March 22. 

This is a sermon at Dryden Rd Pentecostal Church on March 17. This was my first time preaching since I suffered a brain stem stroke on December 29.

The sermon is The Power of Imperfect Faith. This is AUDIO of the sermon. 

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you will listen to the sermon on YouTube. The whole video is less than 35 minutes.

Have a super great day.

A Word For Wednesday-The Miraculous Process of Healing

Good Morning! Thank you for joining us today. We are glad to be back. We are so happy to bring you A Word For Wednesday. A few moments ago I posted A Word for Wednesday on our YouTube Channel. Please give it a listen and leave us a comment here or on YouTube.

There are numerous and varied processes by which the body fights disease, repels invaders and heals itself. Old and sick cells are replaced while the body is mending skin, bones, organs and every part of the body.

Modern scientists and great researchers are still seeking to understand how hormones and enzymes are produced by our bodies to effectively fight for the health of own bodies.

This is no accident of evolution. We are fearfully and wonderfully made. Therefore, I say healing is a natural process in the body instigated by supernatural means. It is miraculous!

Thank you for joining us today.

The Weekend Dispatch 3/18/24

Wow! We were blessed with a wonderful weekend and we are glad to tell you about it. 

We had three full hours of therapy on Friday and came away with some great information.

If nothing changes, Speech therapy and Occupational therapy will end on Wednesday, March 27 IF not before. Physical therapy will pause on March 27 for a few weeks. I will go back toward the third week of April and they will evaluate how I am doing at that point.

After the evaluation, they will either discharge me or schedule more therapy as needed. That fits good with my loosely held plan that I detailed last week. After March 27, we hope to travel in the car a few weeks preaching on Sundays and mid-weeks and see how I handle that. Yay!

The therapists have help me tremencously the lst many weeks. I will write more about them and add pictures of my regular therapists when we are through.

Saturday, KJo and Odie attended a baby shower for Kayla Jo in Hillsboro, Ohio. It looks like they had a great time.

Sunday morning I preached for the first time since the stoke for my Pastor at Dryden Rd. I was very apprehensive but the Lord the Lord blessed us wonderfully. He surprised me in an awesome way! Hallelujah

I am so thankul for the touch of the Lord Sunday morning. I needed His touch and He came to me so sweetly.

That wraps up our weekend. Thank you for stoppig by.

A Word For Wednesday, Peaches And Frost

Good Morning!Thank you for joining us today. We are glad to be back. We are so happy to bring you A Word For Wednesday. A few moments ago I posted A Word for Wednesday on our YouTube Channel. Please give it a listen and leave us a comment here or on YouTube.

Peaches And Frost

Peaches do not need frost to grow but sometimes men do! There are times in life when a good frost will help men to mature and grow. A frost may kill a peach harvest physically but that same frost may prosper a man spiritually.

Hardships thrust on us by the world and the devil to kill us can speak life into us instead by the grace, power snd providence of God.

Thank you for joining us today. It is always good to have you.

Thank you for joining us today. We are glad to be back. We are so happy to bring you A Word For Wednesday. A few moments ago I posted A Word for Wednesday on our YouTube Channel. Please give it a listen and leave us a comment here or on YouTube.

A Word For Wednesday - Trusting Our Lord to Lead - He Maketh No Mistake

I am talking about John the Baptist today and the crisis of faith he experienced briefly in prison. Christ had a message tailor made for John and John received it.

Have you ever wondered what God was doing while you were in trouble? We must learn to trust our Lord to lead us even when we do not understand Him. God makes No mistakes!

There Is No God Like Our God!

I love this verse. It has spoken deep into my heart the last week or so.

II Samuel 7:22 Wherefore thou art great, O LORD God: for there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

Hallelujah! Our God is great. There is no God like our God. There is no God beside our God. According to everything we have heard with our ears, there is no God like our God!

Wow! I love that.

Let me expand on that a moment. 

According to everything we have heard with our ears there is no God like our God. According to every testimony that we have ever heard, there is no God like our God!

According to everything we have read, there is no God like our God!

According to everything we have seen with our eyes, there is no God like our God! 

According to everything in life that we have experienced, there is no God like our God! 

Every difficulty declares, there is no God like our God!

Hallelujah! Through every test, through every trial, through every temptation, there is no God like our God!

In every hurt, hardship and heartache, there is no God like our God!

In despair, despondency and in depression, there is no God like our God!

In sickness, sadness and in sorrow, there is no God like our God!

In every care, crisis and calamity, there is no God like our God!

In every peril, problem and perplexity, there is no God like our God!

There is no God like him. There is no God who can stand beside him. There is no God like our God!

Wherever you have been, wherever you are right now, wherever you are going, whatever you are facing and whatever you are going through, please remember, child of God, there is no God like our God!

Thank you for stopping in today.

Friday Night Revival at 8:00 PM Eastern

Today is a reminder of our third and final night of revival from Nigeria on Friday night at 8 PM Eastern. 

This is the last night of the Gospel Crusade was on a Saturday night in December. I preached to those in need of a miracle from God.  The response at the end of the preaching was tremendous

The people in Nigeria honor me and respect me way beyond what I could ever earn or expect. Bro. Shobanke has loved me greatly and he has passed that love on to his people.

They seem to listen close to every word and are immediately ready to come to the altar and believe God is going to give them their miracle. It really is a sight for us to behold.

I have never preached good enough in Nigeria to merit the response that they demonstrate, but I love preaching in that type of environment. wow! What a wonderful relationship and wonderful amazing services we have enjoyed since 2007. 

Thank you for making plans to join us Friday night at 8 PM Eastern. It will be great to have you and to hear from you.

Thank you for reading today. May God bless you.

YouTube Revival Announcement

We have a Revival announcement today. Beginning Friday night and running a total of three Friday nights, we are going to post revival videos on our YouTube channel.

These are NOT current revival services but services from the Gospel Crusade in December at Christ Ambassadors Holiness Church in Abeokuta, Nigeria. Please take note of this. These services are from December.

This was the final revival for us in 2023. The crusade ran on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights outdoors at the church.

I had already edited these videos before Christmas hoping to post them at sometime in January. Now is the time. 

The first night I am preaching to people who are hurting, the second night I am preaching directly to those who need to be saved and the third night I am preaching to those who need a miracle.

I am preaching with an interpreter and that will be included in the video. I hope that you enjoy the videos. We had an awesome time those three nights in Nigeria.

I think that you will see how much I love and enjoy preaching to the Nigerian people. They are sitting on the edge of their seats, pulling the preaching out of me and I love every moment of it.

I added some bloopers from Odie at the end of Friday's video. She was recording an introduction for me this week and we laughed so hard I thought I was going to pop the feeding tube out of my stomach. I posted the bloopers video this morning separately. Let us know what you think.

Thank you for joining us today and I hope you will join us Friday night at 8:00 Eastern/7:00 Central time.

Thank you.

A Christmas Journey

So glad you joined us today. It is time again for A Word For Wednesday. A few moments ago I posted A Word for Wednesday on our YouTube Channel. Please give it a listen and leave us a comment here or on YouTube.

I love to see the Christmas scenes portrayed by the children in our churches. The angels talking to Mary and Joseph, no room at the inn, the manger scene, the angels singing to the shepherds, the shepherds going to see the Christ child and many more.

These scenes made me thing of another Christmas scene. I was considering the 100 mile journey by Joseph and his wife great with child. God was drawing them to Bethlehem so they would be in the prophesied place for Christ to be born. What an amazing Christmas Journey!

Thank you for joining us today.

A Word For Wednesday The #1 Reason For Revival

The #1 Reason For Revival

So glad you joined us today. It is time again for A Word For Wednesday. A few moments ago I posted A Word for Wednesday on our YouTube Channel. Please give it a listen and leave us a comment here or on YouTube.

There is one main reason we are spending our lives trying to be and instrument of revival across America and that is that souls might be saved!

Paul said of Jesus, This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. I Timothy 1:15

Christ came with one great aim and that is to save sinners. That is our one great aim in life!

In September, Milton was saved under the Blue and White Gospel Tent in Richton, Mississippi. Pastor Scott Morris baptized Bro. Milton recently and I have a video of it for you.

If you would like to argue the technique or formula for baptism, please move on! This is neither the time nor the place. This is how we do it, but today we are celebrating the salvation of an 80 year old man during revival! Wow! It is a beautiful thing!

I appreciate Bro. Milton and Pastor Scott Morris allowing me to post the video of the baptism. Sis. Felicia Cochran provided the video and I appreciate her permission to post it.

Thank you for stopping by.

So glad you joined us today. It is time again for A Word For Wednesday. A few moments ago I posted A Word for Wednesday on our YouTube Channel. Please give it a listen and leave us a comment here or on YouTube.

Have you reached out and helped anyone around you with kindness lately? Today, I am telling a story that I read recently and I hope it encourages you toward random acts of kindness! We need one another more than we realize at times. God has placed us here to be a help to others. There is a great blessing in that.

Thank you for stopping in.

A Word For Wednesday-Be Not Weary In Well Doing

Be Not Weary

So glad you joined us today. It is time again for A Word For Wednesday. A few moments ago I posted A Word for Wednesday on our YouTube Channel. Please give it a listen and leave us a comment here or on YouTube.

I have an encouragement for you today.

II Thessalonians 3:13 But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing.

Be Not Weary In Well Doing! You are struggling to maintain. You are struggling to keep your head above water financially, emotionally and spiritually. You are fighting with everything within to be the person you need to be to thrive and survive.

It is very easy to give into despair, but Paul encourages us and I want to encourage you today, be not weary in well doing. Your reward is still ahead. When God settles the final accounts, we will hear Him say,

Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

Hallelujah!!!

Thank you for watching today.

A Word For Wednesday, NoThing Too Hard For God!

NO Thing Too Hard For God!

So glad you joined us today. It is time again for A Word For Wednesday. A few moments ago I posted A Word for Wednesday on our YouTube Channel. Please give it a listen and leave us a comment here or on YouTube.

Will you do me a favor? Please share this A Word For Wednesday with your friends and family. It would help us and the channel a bunch if you would and might help a friend or family member too.😍

This is the first verse of a prayer of Jerimiah, Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee: Jerimiah 32:17

The proclamation is There is nothing too hard for thee. There is nothing too hard of God! Bro. Bill Houston used to say, There is No Thing to hard for God.

I know that everyone has a "thing" they need God to move in. Listen to me friend, there is NO Thing too hard for God. God can work a miracle in your thing no matter what it is!

Thank you for joining us today.

A Word For Wednesday-All Things New

All Things New

So glad you joined us today. It is time again for A Word For Wednesday. A few moments ago I posted A Word for Wednesday on our YouTube Channel. Please give it a listen and leave us a comment here or on YouTube.

Several years ago we were invited to sing at a church in an area and city that were completely unknown to us. We were delighted to accept the invitation and put the church on the schedule at our first possibility.

We knew nothing about the church's history, doctrine or members. All we knew was that the people we met were kind and desired us to sing for them.

The fact of the matter is this, no church ever gets just singing from us. I am a preacher and the Word of God is going to come out if you want us to sing for 45 minutes or an hour. I preached between songs that night and we had a wonderful time.

As we were shaking hands after the service and taking down our sound system, I had two very interesting and completely sincere questions.

#1 You mentioned revival. What is revival?

#2 You said that people such as alcoholics, drug addicts and others could be instantly changed by Christ. Is that true?

Can God really make a drastic change in a life? Can God make everything new? This is what the Bible says.

II Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

Oh, yes He can! Hallelujah! God will radically and drastically change us when we come unto God by Him! I was happy that night to tell those precious people that God has and will make an instant and substantial difference in lives.

Thank you for joining us today.
