Be thankful to God today because He ALWAYS causes us to triumph and have victory in Jesus Christ!! Not only that, but He also makes it known to others how sweet our knowledge and relationship is with Christ every where we go!! (see 2nd Corinthians 2:14) GIVE HIM PRAISE FOR THE VICTORY AND SHOW'EM WHO YOU'RE WORKIN' WITH!!! ~Pastor Lynn

FYI- "Believe and SPEAK good words into your life!!" If you can't think of any "good words" to speak into your life, you can find plenty of them in "the Good Book". Just one more good reason to knock the dust off your old Bible and study it. I am a firm believer in "practice". If you want to stand out in sports, you must practice. If you want to play a musical instrument, you must practice. If you want to follow Christ, you must practice.... and all the rules are in the BOOK!! God Bless, ~Pastor Lynn

Science has proved that we listen to ourselves more than we listen to anyone else. This means that I can tell you that God Loves you until I'm blue in the face and you won't receive the Joy and Peace of that reality until YOU believe it and say it to YOURSELF!! So, say this many times today (50 is a good number), "GOD LOVES ME!!" When you can see this as truth with your spiritual eyes, then your conscious mind will begin to believe it and you will begin to see it manifested with your physical eyes. Never forget that we are to walk by FAITH not by sight. Your spiritual vision by FAITH will show you and guide you to greater things than you will ever see with your natural eyes!! Believe and SPEAK good words into your life!! By the way, I Love you, too. Blessings, ~Pastor Lynn (see 2nd Corinthians 5:7)

We are SO blessed!! God has from the beginning of time chosen us to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and by believing the TRUTH!! How does this happen?? God calls us by the Gospel of Jesus Christ !! THAT is how we obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ!! So, brothers and sisters, stand firm and hold on tight to the TRUTH that you have been taught through studying God's Word in the Bible or listening to it being preached all over this great country!! The Lord Jesus Christ Himself and even God the Father has Loved us, and given us everlasting consolation and good hope through the enabling and unmerited favor of GRACE!! Let that comfort your heart today, and keep you in the habit of speaking the good word and doing the good work!! GIVE HIM PRAISE AND GET ON FIRE FOR THE LORD!!! (See 2nd Thessalonians 2:13-17) Blessings, ~Pastor Lynn

Some folks read Galatians 5:24 and say, "I don't want to live a life without passion and desire!!"  Jesus nor anyone else ever said you couldn't have passion and desire in your life; they just need to be of a spiritual nature instead of the flesh.  Redirect your passion and desire to "come after Him"!!! ~Pastor Lynn

What is the reality of Faith?  That is when your Faith perceives as real fact what is not revealed to your senses!!  You can "see" with Faith what your natural eyes cannot!!  Don't you feel sorry for folks who don't have any Faith??  They ain't seen nothin' yet!!  Put your Faith in Jesus TODAY and REJOICE!!! (See Hebrews 11:1)  ~Pastor Lynn

The Lone Ranger is standing in a room talking to a couple of the "good guys" when all of a sudden, one of the "bad guys" comes bursting into the room with a mean scowl on his face and his pistol drawn!!  Things are looking pretty desperate when all of sudden the Lone Ranger gets a smile on his face and the "bad guy's" mean scowl turns to a look of fear and desperation when he hears the unmistakable "click" of someone cocking a .45 long colt peacemaker behind his back!!  That's right, Tonto is standing just outside an open window and has saved the Day!!!  Sure is a good thing to have a loyal and faithful friend in this world.  You can have a friend like that, even better, if you will partner up with Jesus and collaborate with Him by acknowledging Him "in all your ways".  Then He will smooth out the road and make your paths straight.  He will not only cover your back, but also walk "point" in front of you to clear the road of obstacles  and then sometimes walk side by side with you through the trials of this life.  Whatever your circumstances, Jesus will make a way if you will only Trust Him!!  (see Proverbs 3:6) Let him who has ears, hear!!  ~Pastor Lynn

Psa 7:10 God is my shield, the one who delivers the upright in heart.

Comment by Curtis Malecha on December 9, 2013 at 2:02pm

There are times in our Christian walk when we are going through trials and tribulations that  we pray for a "touch" from God. In Luke Chapter 8 starting in verse 43 we read about the woman with the issue of blood. This woman had a revelation of not only who Jesus was but also of the power that was available to us as believers through Him by faith. She told herself that if she could just touch the hem of Jesus garment she knew she would be healed. After fighting through the crowd to get to Jesus and touching Him the scriptures says she was healed immediately. Now here is the interesting part. Jesus turned and asked "who touched me?". His disciples were even a little short with Him asking "with all these people surrounding and pushing against us how can you ask who touched me?" But Jesus wasn't just talking about a physical touch, He was talking about a faith touch. He felt power go out from Him. The story goes on to say that when the woman realized she would be found out she proceeded to tell Jesus and His disciples her whole story. If Jesus didn't know who had touched Him then it is also easy to reason He didn't even know what the need was, yet His power was still available for the taking. It had left Him because of the woman's faith to receive it. In Ephesians chapter 1 the bible says that the same power God used to raise Jesus from the dead is now available to us as believers if we would only get a revelation of that power's availability and receive and use it by faith. My friends, no matter what you may be going through today reach out and touch Jesus. Don't sit and wait for God to do all the work for you. He's done that already. He sent His Son to die on the cross for us and when Jesus said "It is finished" that meant the devil was defeated from that point on. Reach out by faith and and touch Jesus and receive all the power you need to defeat the enemy, get through the trials you may be facing, and live the abundant life that God wants for you. God Bless, Pastor Curt, Revelation Ranch Ministry.

Sometimes in our Christian walk we can get caught up in searching for the "deeper things" of God. Now I'm not saying this is a bad thing as we need to continually grow in our walk and understanding of God but I also believe that sometimes we also need to be reminded of the elementary things of God. In the gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke we read the story where Jesus got into the boat with His disciples and told them to go the other side of the lake. As they were crossing a fierce storm came up that threated to sink their boat. Jesus was sleeping at the time and the disciples woke Him in fear asking Him if He even cared that they may drown. As we know Jesus rebuked the wind and the waves, calmed the storm, and they continued on to the other side. What are you going through today? Whether it be problems in your marriage or relationships, financial problems, health problems or whatever else, stay in the boat with Jesus. Even if the mountain you're facing may seem impossible to overcome or might be something that was of your own making, never give up on God because He never gives up on us. Even in those times when it seems like He is "sleeping" during your storm know that Jesus is still in the boat with you and He will take you to the other side if you will just simply put your faith and trust in Him. There is no storm to big or to great that God can't get us through.  Just stay in the boat with Jesus!! God Bless, Pastor Curt.

"And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by Him."  ~Colossians 3:17      Everything that you say or do should be in the best interest of our Lord, Jesus.  How do you determine this??  Ask yourself this question before you take action or talk about anything: Is what I am about to do or say something that Jesus would be interested in or is it something that would be of more interest to Satan??  You must make a deliberate choice to be determined to be interested only in what Jesus is interested!!  This is what genuine consecration is all about and this our responsibility not God's!!  Being set apart from sin and being made holy is Sanctification and that IS God's part.  Be Thankful to God for your consecration and His Sanctification.  Blessings, ~Pastor Lynn

Proverbs 30:32 ~ "If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast thought evil, lay thine hand upon thy mouth." 
   It is foolish enough for us to think that we are something when we are nothing or if we have had evil thoughts!!  Let's not make matters worse by talking about it.  One of the wisest things people can do is know when to shut up!!  Please do not be offended by this post; it's more for me than it is for you.  Quietly, ~Pastor Lynn

"For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption (death); but he that soweth to the Spirit (life) shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.  And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.   As we have opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith."  ~Galatians 6:10

    Forget about your earthly, fleshly desires for a change and sow unto the Spirit of life.  After all, what's most important to you; life or death??  Don't ever get tired of doing good; when the time is right you WILL reap what you sow if you don't give up!!  Do you have the opportunity to do some good today??  I believe that you do!!  Blessings, ~Pastor Lynn

Thankfulness is the language of Love which allows us to communicate with our Savior, Jesus Christ!!  Thankfulness is not a magic formula and it does not mean that we stick our head in the sand and ignore the reality of many, many problems in this old fallen world.  But Thankfulness does allow us to rejoice in the presence of Jesus, our Lord and Savior, right smack dab in the middle of trials and troubles!!  Jesus is our refuge and strength!!  He is a very present, right now and well proven help in times of trouble.  Let us all be very Thankful for the presence of Jesus in our lives!!  (See Psalm 46:1)  ~Pastor Lynn

"Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise~the fruit of lips that confess His name." ~Hebrews 13:15
When we Praise God for the Presence and Peace of Jesus, that is when we receive those richest and most precious gifts!!  GIVE HIM PRAISE!!!  ~Pastor Lynn

"Let no man seek his own, but every man another's wealth."  ~1 Corinthians 10:24. If you are a born again believer, then you have no need to seek wealth because you are already RICH!!  Join in with the Lord in HIS work to redeem mankind from sin and death.  Seek to help others find the wealth that you already have.  You may not have silver and gold, but if you have Jesus in your heart and share Him with others, you may help someone find wealth way beyond the worth of any earthly treasures.  ~Pastor Lynn

MAKING DECISIONS: Being in leadership there are decisions to make daily. I have found the following that is helpful: 1. Believe that God is directing your steps. & 2. Realize God can bring good out of bad situations. Remember God is working in you, He's working with you, and He's working through you. And as Ethel Waters use to say, "My God don't sponsor no flops!" In HIS grip, Bro. Harbuck

"In your unfailing love you will lead the people you have redeemed.  In your strength you will guide them to your holy dwelling." ~Exodus 15:13      The very first thing we should tell ourselves when we wake up is that God's Love NEVER fails.....NEVER!!  This means if you are redeemed by the blood of Jesus through Faith in what he did for you on the cross, then God is leading you in LOVE every day to your ultimate destination; not by chance, not by coincidence, but buy the very POWER of God and His strength will He guide you straight to the gates of Heaven!!!  You now have hope and confidence where your journey will end....HEAVEN!!!  So what is your part in this journey??  It is to stay focused on the one who redeemed you and the path just before you.  There should be no fear, no worry, and no doubt if you will just believe and leave the outcome to God.  His Love IS unfailing.....He has promised in His Word!!!  ~Pastor Lynn

God's Power and Grace are abundantly available to each believer.  The question is are you available to receive it or are you too busy with your own agenda.  The Holy Spirit will only give you what you ask for and only what you are willing to share and give away.  Grace in you and on you will spill out to everyone around you.  (See Acts 4:32-33) ~Pastor Lynn
