Acts of a Champion

Good morning and Happy Monday. Brand new week. Brand new attitude. The past is the past. The future is unlimited. As we continue in this month of Acts in September based on Acts 1:7-8, 4:29-31 and 28:25-27 I began this form of teaching last year. Although I was supposed to teach in the classroom I have found what I can do well to help advance the kingdom of God. On the day that I am writing this I feel well and am just filled with the Holy Spirit. You ever get that feeling that you are just winning at everything that you do. That is how I feel today. Problems are rampant in my life but that is all the time. In each life there is going to be famine ( thanks Teacher Matti ) but it takes famine to know how to act when it is plenty. Today I feel like the person that my Father, James, and my Mother, Joann, raised me to be. Today I feel like I am a Champion. So this blog is called Acts of a Champion.

Last year Valley Kingdom Ministries International had a theme of the Year of Champions. During the summer I had a blog featured on the church's website called the Portrait of a Champion. Each month
after that I did a blog that spoke of Champions. In December I even did a blog called Defending of a Champion which spoke of Stephen in Acts the 7th Chapter. I encourage each and every one to this day that there are Champions. So  today I focus on two different people and a act of God in the Word of God that portrays the Acts of a Champion.


In the first example of Acts of a Champion in the Word of God I go Acts 9:26-30. In this passage Saul is trying to get with other believers and show that he has changed but people of God are not
trusting of him. I was like Saul at one time and people were hesitant to believe that I stopped cursing,  drinking and being a hell raiser. But Saul had Barnabas who brought him in and took up for him and put his rep on the line. To me that is the Act of a Champion.

In the second example of the Word of God I go Acts 16:25-34. In this passage of scripture we see there has been a earthquake and the doors to the prison had been opened. The person watching the
was asleep and thought that he may had lost his job as the prisoners should have escaped. There have been situations where I had been sleep and missed so many opportunities but God still blessed me despite.  The jailer not only did not lose his job or take his life. He believed on Jesus Christ being his Savior and not only fed Paul and Silas but also washed their wounds. That is the Acts of a Champion.


In my last example in the Word of God I go to Acts 19:11-20. In this passage we have men who seem to be led by the spirit to cast out demons in the name of Jesus. These men have not been saved or have actual
 belief in the name of Jesus. We live in a world of false teachings and people getting over that it is hard to know who is who. But God knows and has ways to expose the truth in so many different ways as he did in the passage. The Acts of a Champion.
In conclusion there are so many ways to perform the Acts of a Champion. You need not prove super human strength or power. You need not be the person who prays the loudest or knows the Word of God so well nobody can tell you nothing. You do not have to boast about your fasting or how many souls you have saved.  There are so many other ways to perform Acts of a Champion as I just showed in this teaching. Continue to be a Champion in all aspects of your life. I give God all the glory for this teaching. Please join me Friday for my blog called Acts of the Power. Have a great week.

Good morning and Happy Monday. Brand new week. Brand new attitude. The past is the past. The future is unlimited. This past month I was riding with my friend Angela Francis. On this particular day she had to go get her hair done and her friend Roxanne' shop. I had done this numerous times in the past so when I was getting ready to leave I told Angela I was going to the forest preserve to sit and wait as she got her hair done. At the forest preserve I would be able to do two things while I was there. I would be able to think of ideas for my blog, my radio show and my daily postings on Facebook. When you attempt to write you sometimes get writer's block and need to get to a different atmosphere ( Hmmm Writer's Block may be a blog soon LOL ). The other reason I wanted to go to the forest preserve is because it was hot that day and I needed some shade. So as I approached the forest preserve I put on my left turn signal and waited for traffic coming southbound to clear. After

Good morning and Happy Monday. Brand new week. Brand new attitude. The past is the past. The future is unlimited. Growing up we used to love to take pictures. Maybe not myself because I had a self confidence problem, but everywhere you went there was someone taking pictures. In grammar school we took pictures every week. In high school we took them every year. At church we took pictures. In the club we took pictures as a group to show we all went to a party. Most of the pictures we took were with a Polaroid camera which had great quality then. But if you wanted the best pictures you wanted the photographer to take your pictures. This was one of the coolest professions back then because all the ladies who wanted to be models or actresses had to go to the photographer to get that photo to take to the different agencies to show how they look. So in order to get the best quality the photographer had to go someplace where he could get the best results. It was his Dark Room. This is the na

Good morning and Happy Friday. The summer is now beginning and the weather is now reaching its highest temperatures. It has reached a high point of 90's so far in the Chicagoland area and it appears to be nothing in sight to relieve us of these conditions that are almost drought like. As the summer gets ready to start in earnest next week we anticipate the warmest temps of the year after a winter that saw a little snow but the hawk, ( that's what we call the wind in the CHI ) was in full effect. But the sun has been out daily and we need a little moisture in our lives. We expect things to get wet in order for us to not only cool off but to wash away some things and bring a freshness of new things in our lives. The hotness of the weather coincides with the hotness in our lives. We need things to cool off a little bit but need some things to come down so we can enjoy the things in our lives that is promised to us as Christians. We are faithful and trusting in his Word. So as we
