To Go Where No One Has Gone Before

Good morning and Happy Friday. As we continue these teachings of Marching With Determination based on Joshua 6-15-17 and Joel 7:12-15, one of the things that I have had the opportunity to see in my lifetime was how the space program of the United States developed enough knowledge to actually send people to the moon. This frontier had never been explored and there was a question of whether there were resources available for human beings to able to live there. So in 1969 a group of astronauts were the first to have a successful mission to land and explore the moon. Today that seems so long ago as technology has not only provided more frequent space trips but satellite images can see images not only from the moon but even as far away as Saturn. Even though there may not be any way for man to ever inhabit these places, scientist still want to find out if they can. In Marching With Determination we as the people of faith need not just be in areas of comfort. We need To Go Where No One Has Gone Before.
In this walk of faith there is  tendency to stay in safe places when there is a need for something different to be done. We love that Sunday service and that choir and/or praise team was off the chain
But when it comes to spreading the Word of God we either do not think we can do it or may be afraid and that is understandable. The world is expanding what it does but we as the people of faith are still where we started. We have To Go Where No One Has Gone Before. This teaching will be based on the first base scripture of this month, Joshua 6:15-17.


As we begin the Biblical portion of this teaching of To Go Where No One Has Gone Before I go to Joshua 6:15. In this verse it tells of how the people of God have been doing what God has told them
and today is no different. They march around the city seven more times as God has instructed them.
They are on the verge on receiving the promises of God. To Go Where No One Has Gone Before.

As we continue in the Word of God in these teaching of To Go Where One Has Gone Before we go to Joshua 6:16. In this verse we see after everyone has done what they have supposed to, Joshua tells 
people that God has given them city as promised. Even though nothing has happened yet Joshua is excited about what is going to happen, To Go Where No One Has Gone Before.


In coming to the end of this portion of the teaching of To Go Where No One Has Gone Before, we go to the Word of God and Joshua 6:17. In this verse the celebration can begin as they have followed the
Word fro God and the destruction is now imminent. Joshua and the people of God are on the verge of reaching the promise land. To Go Where No One Has Gone Before. 
In conclusion many of us beginning to see that change is in order. We cannot be content to be in the same spot with no growth within us and no growth in the kingdom of God. The world is offering our youth and others more things to look forward to than we are. In Numbers the 14th chapter it shows that Joshua and Caleb spoke up about going to land that God promised them but the majority were scared and happy to be just out of bondage. And they had to suffer for 40 more years. Let us not let the wonders of God just stay in our homes or the places that we worship. We have to become more bold in telling others about God. At the job, on public transportation, in the hood or the projects, in the clubs, in other countries or continents. God is not a Chicago God or a God of only America or the North American continent. He is a God of all and our job is to introduce others to him. I love going to church and fellowship, but the time is for me to do something different. I have To Go Where No One Else Has Gone Before and tell the world about God.

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
