"I won't give up, shut up, let up, until I have stayed up, stored up, prayed up, paid up, preached up, for the course of Christ."

" These are the writings of a man who is out of his mind."

If we are “out of our mind,” as some say, it is for God. 2 Corinthians 5:13

Always start a read with prayer and end with prayer.

HEAVENLY FATHER,

Search us, O God, and know our heart, try us, and know our thoughts. And see if there be any wicked way in us, and lead us in the way everlasting. Have mercy upon us, O God, according to thy lovingkindness, according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out our transgressions. Wash us throughly from our iniquity, and cleanse us from our sin. Then opened our understanding, that we might understand the scriptures. May your word, O GOD, reproof us, correct us, and instruct us in righteousness. In the name of JESUS we pray this prayer. AMEN!

I want to give you $100,000. No catches. No tricks. No scams. It's free and it's all yours.

I want to give you eternal life. No pain. No sorrow. No sickness. It's free and it's all yours

How many will say yes to the first? - How many will say yes to the second?

Matthew 6:24 - No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.

A good person

Posted by Donnie Crawford on Tuesday, February 5, 2013, In : Witnessing

I am a good person. I give to the homeless people on the streets. I open doors for people and let them enter before me. I go to work and go home. I mind my own business. I don't drink or do drugs. I am a hard worker. I have many friends. I don't do things to hurt people. I have never had an affair. I try to help people whenever I can. I own a new house and a new car. I pay cash for everything I want. I have more than most people and I have earned it all. I have loaned many money to get them...

Forgiveness and Focus

Posted by Donnie Crawford on Monday, January 28, 2013, In : Witnessing

Forgiveness and Focus....

No where in scripture does GOD say that we are forgiven more than once. Christ died on the cross one time and one time only. I have never seen anywhere that CHRIST has been crucified over and over again and again. CHRIST died once to save us and to forgive us. ONCE. That's all!

If we believe what GOD says to be true then we have to believe that CHRIST was crucified in order for us to have a way back to GOD. GOD never changes, we change. GOD never leaves us, we leave H...

Marriage

Posted by Donnie Crawford on Monday, January 14, 2013, In : Witnessing

Let's look at this in a different light. Revelation 19:7 - Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. Those that have given their live to JESUS are the Bride and JESUS is the Bridegroom, Mark 2:19. When we accepted JESUS as our savior and LORD, we enter into an agreement with HIM forever. Therefore we have entered into a marriage. 2 Cor. 11:2-4 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espous...

The body given

Posted by Donnie Crawford on Monday, January 7, 2013, In : Witnessing

Are you struggling with becoming a CHRIST follower? An understanding of sin may help you to make the next right step in your life.
Sin is the separation of man and GOD. Sin is anything that is not of GOD. Sin is our way of thinking and not GOD'S way of thinking.
I find that it helps one to understand if there are illustrations or pictures to go along with what is said. Let's look at it in this light.
In the beginning GOD created the Heavens/Earth and Man/Garden and all was perfect.
GOD told man...

Heart of the flesh

Posted by Donnie Crawford on Thursday, December 27, 2012, In : Witnessing

How strong and how powerful is our flesh? Do we understand that our flesh is what wants us to go against GOD? Do we realize that our flesh is what separates us from our spirit? Let's take a closer look into this.

In Genesis 2:4-25 We see that GOD created the heavens and the earth. He created man. He created a garden and put man in it to dress it and keep it. GOD also made a covenant with man not to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil that is in the middle of the garden.

Now look at th...

It is Finished

Posted by Donnie Crawford on Sunday, November 25, 2012, In : Witnessing

When JESUS said it is finished, what was meant is that GOD wanted a way for us to come back to HIM without fail. Lucifer thought that there had to be more than just GOD and HE wanted to be that more than. GOD said there is no more, I AM! Lucifer at every turn is trying to wage war against GOD but to his failure. In Job we see Lucifer trying to prove to GOD that no one HE created will ever really love HIM just because they want to. Lucifer fails again! Still Lucifer keeps trying to wage war wi...

Law could not do

Posted by Donnie Crawford on Sunday, November 25, 2012, In : Witnessing

Romans 8:3–4 For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, so that the requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. Matthew 7:16 B...

Take Responsibility

Posted by Donnie Crawford on Saturday, November 3, 2012, In : Witnessing

GOD is the only one to whom is omnipresent. Lucifer is not.

Greater is HE that is in you than he that is in the world. Stand strong in your faith and believe the devil has no war with GOD. For there is no war, Lucifer stood up to GOD and was kicked out of heaven with many an angel. HELLOOOOO! Lucifer as well as us in the flesh keep trying to go up against GOD and start a war, but GOD is GOD and HE has no need to go to war, for HE is GOD. We need to realize it is our own flesh that kee...

I AM HEALED!

I will have healing just as I have salvation

Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou? And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself. And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live. JESUS told unto the seventy, Behold, I give unto you power to tread on se...

A Living Sacrifice

Posted by Donnie Crawford on Friday, October 19, 2012, In : Witnessing

Then Noah built an altar to the Lord and, taking some of all the clean animals and clean birds, he sacrificed burnt offerings on it. The Lord smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart: “Never again will I curse the ground because of humans, even though every inclination of the human heart is evil from childhood. And never again will I destroy all living creatures, as I have done. Then God said, “Take your son, your only son, whom you love—Isaac—and go to the region of Mori...

The Tongue

Posted by Donnie Crawford on Wednesday, October 17, 2012, In : Witnessing

From there Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, some boys came out of the town and mocked him. “Get out of here, baldy!” they said. “Get out of here, baldy!” He turned around, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of the Lord. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the boys.

The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit. What goes into someone’s mouth does not defile th...

Not My Own, But GOD'S

Posted by Donnie Crawford on Friday, October 12, 2012, In : Witnessing

Mis-conceptions

I find that the world I live in is that of my own.

I find that the body I live in is that of my own.

I find that the knowledge I have is that of my own.

I find that the money I have is that of my own.

From the day of birth this is built into us. It is our nature. Here I take things for granted and do with them as I desire.

I learned the things I know from my parents, from friends, from school and from the streets. I used the knowledge I have to earn the money that I have. Everythin...

Learning from GOD

Posted by Donnie Crawford on Friday, October 12, 2012, In : Witnessing

Genesis 1:1, John 1:1, Proverbs 3:5, Matthew 16:24, Mark 1:17, John 14:21, JOHN 14:16. I opened the scriptures and GOD spoke to me and I chose to believe what HE said to be true. It was hard for me to not believe all the things I had been taught, but I had to put on the cross everything I knew and was taught, crucify it,bury it and raise up a new creation. One willing to deny myself and my ways and to be a useable vessel unto GOD. Each day I awake, I ask GOD to speak to me and teach me what H...

Come Follow Me!

Posted by Donnie Crawford on Tuesday, October 9, 2012, In : Witnessing

Everywhere in scripture that I see Believe with it comes Faith, or I see Faith with it comes Believe. They go hand in hand and they are as one with each other. As well, everywhere in scripture I see Sin with it comes Flesh, or I see Flesh with it comes Sin. We are born into Sin. We are born into Flesh. Sin then is the Flesh. When we are in the Flesh we are in Sin. When we Sin, we do so in the Flesh. Therefore Sin is who we are and flesh is what we live in. They go hand in hand and are as one...

change our mind

Posted by Donnie Crawford on Saturday, September 29, 2012, In : Witnessing

This is a season that we have to go through. As we go through these seasons GOD builds us in them so that we are prepared for the next one. It maybe good, it maybe bad but GOD is with us all the way through them. Sometimes HE walks with us and other times HE carries us. In the times HE is carrying us, HE whispers to us for that is how close to us HE is. Satin can do nothing but only what GOD will allow him to do. It is the flesh that we have to learn to conquer. The flesh is the one that don'...

Heavenly Things

Posted by Donnie Crawford on Tuesday, September 18, 2012, In : Witnessing

HEAVENLY THINGS

I believe "Heavenly Things" as spoke of in scripture takes us to a mind set. In Romans 12:2 it speaks on not being conformed to the pattern of this world. but being transformed by the renewing of our mind. Our mind set should be one of already being in heaven and being a child of GOD. This is in reference to GOD'S people. The example CHRIST set for us as HE walked the earth. In our home we have a certain mind set and when we are on the football field we have another mind set. O...

Give my life to CHRIST? WHY?

Posted by Donnie Crawford on Saturday, September 15, 2012, In : Witnessing

Many times this question has been asked. Many times people have been led astray from the truth by unsure people. It is time someone stood up and answered this question with truth. Yes, all have sinned (Romans 3:23). GOD being the loving FATHER of us all(Genesis 2:7). Seen in Adam that the relationship had been damaged and wanted to bring us back to the relationship that we first had with HIM(Genesis 3:8). Through the offspring of adam came the people who chose to do what was wrong and those w...

HEAVENLY FATHER,

We praise you, God, we praise you, for your Name is near, People tell of your wonderful deeds. May we rejoice always, pray continually, and give thanks in all circumstances, for this is your will for us in Christ Jesus. May we Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation, and share what we have learned this day. In the name of JESUS we pray this prayer. And all the LORD'S people said, AMEN and AMEN!

When I stand before GOD at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, " I used everything you gave me."
