Real Estate Business

Thanks for the post, Vernon Lowe


I am in the real estate industry but it’s hard enough as it is in this market. The good thing is that here in Alaskathere just aren’t all that many agents so I don’t have to fight for territory like I may have to, otherwise. I am sort of the expert in my area and I offer my clients a lot of extra when it comes to their experience when they buy a home or a vacation home. For example, if they ask me about things like home Security anchorage, I want to know what to tell them so I try to get really involved in my community and know what’s going on. My mother says I’m the “real estate whisperer!” which I think is just the funniest thing I’ve ever heard. I really just want to make my clients happy and know that I did such a great job that when they buy or sell their house the next time, they’re going to come to me for all their real estate needs.

Bible Study 16: Genesis 17: Name Change and Confirmation

In the seventeenth chapter of Genesis, God establishes the Jewish rite of circumcision, but not before again assuring Abraham, by now all of ninety-nine years old, of his calling and promises:

This is my covenant with you: I will make you the father of a multitude of nations! What';s more, I am changingyour name. It will no longer be Abram. Instead, you will be called Abraham, for you will be the father of many nations. I will make you extremely fruitful. Your descendants will become many nations, and kings will be among them! (Genesis 17:4–6)

God had made a promise, an agreement with Abraham and with all those who would come after him. Abraham';s part in the deal was that he and all of his male descendants be circumcised, an act that would have great spiritual significance:

From generation to generation, every male child must be circumcised on the eighth day after his birth. This applies not only to members of your family but also to the servants born in your household and the foreign-born servants whom you have purchased. All must be circumcised. Your bodies will bear the mark of my everlasting covenant. Any male who fails to be circumcised will be cut off from the covenant family for breaking the covenant. (Genesis 17:12–14)

In giving this command, God had appointed circumcision as a special symbol for His chosen people, a badge of their dedication and devotion to Him. And though Abraham was nearly a century old, he and his son Ishmael, who was thirteen years old at the time, were circumcised (Genesis 17:24–27).

The change from the name Abram to Abraham for the father of the Jewish andChristian faith is very significant because the name Abraham means “the father of many” or “father of a multitude.” That was in keeping with God';s promise that his descendants would number in the millions.

Though there were still episodes ahead in Abraham';s life (for example, his intercession for the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah and their destruction as recorded in Genesis 18–19), he would live to one day see the miraculous birth of the son God had promised him.

Study Questions

Read 1 Corinthians 7.:17., Galatians 6:15, and Colossians 3:11. What is the New Testament approach to circumcision? What, if anything, has taken its place in the life and heart of the believer?

Read Genesis 18:23–33. What does this tell you about the importance of praying for others, even those who don';t seem to deserve it?

From Obstinate Hillbilly to Faithful(although far from perfect) Man of God...My Testimony Part Three

At the beginning of this year, I was in such bad health and really felt as though I had little time on this earth. I will never forget being rushed into the Intensive Care Unit at Crittenden Hospital here in Michigan. The medical team there was excellent but I saw fear in their eyes. My blood sugar was close to 800 and my breathing was very shallow. Yet, I was not in Intensive Care for very long. Something happened and my blood sugar levels began to go down gradually but steadily. I did not know what that something was at that time.

The next day, the doctors let me know that it was a miracle I survived. At the very least, they said I should have been in a diabetic coma. I was treated so well the entire two weeks I was there. It was a shock to adjust to a "new" life as a diabetic but they made it so much easier. On the tests results, it was shown that my blood sugar levels had been dangerously high for quite some time. The hospital care there I would say was second to none I have ever seen. What really drew their attention though was the fact I was not expected to survive. The nurses who believed in God knew that Jesus had spared my life.

Crittenden, I discovered, has a physician that is considered the best in the world at treating diabetes. He tried everything he possibly could to release me without the need of insulin shots daily. This was not to be the case at that time. However, this was the beginning of a new awakening and new journey with Christ.

God brought me to my knees during this time period. He had been speaking to me for a while and I was being hard headed and not listening. Three years ago, I was diagnosed with severe and chronic degenerative arthritis. So bad they said that I would be in a wheelchair long before now. My lungs were so bad with COPD that my lung capacity was at 40 percent on a good day. Then the whole issue with the diabetes. I was written off by not only doctors but those who were around me at that time. God never wrote me off though. God never stops loving us our turns from us. Instead, we get caught up in life and the world and turn our backs on Him. If I had a nickel for every single time that I was "back slidden", I would be very well off right now. If I had an additional nickel for every one I have worked with, ministered too, or seen come through our church that was "back slidden" just during the past few months, I would have the funding to open homeless shelters throughout the world.

The Holy Spirit brought me too my knees during this time period and let it be known that either I was going to open my heart, ears, and eyes and serve Him or I was going to be taken out of this world that I seemed to love so much. For far too long, I was professing to be a "Christian" but living with one foot in the world and the other half going through the motions of following God. God does not play and to play with God is the most incredibly foolish and ignorant thing we can ever do. Trust me, I know this very well because I was playing with God too and not even wise enough to realize this. It took a whole lot of hell to get me to the point of being able to preach about a Heaven so wonderful that it can not truly ever be fully visualized and appreciated by our human eyes.

While in the hospital, my brother Sean told me that he had a dream that seemed so real that he felt like it had actually happened. He said that God had a vision to reveal to me and it sent chills through me because I just knew that the Holy Spirit was at work. I did, in fact, receive that vision the very same day. The Holy Spirit told me to start a worldwide ministry right here on Facebook and to establish Facebook Christian Alliance. This led to helping lead a team of Kingdom Warriors to take down a few cult groups, and the imprisonment of cult leaders who were operating out of an orphanage and abusing the children in their care, all this is glory to God and through the power of the Holy Spirit. I have been blessed to meet some amazing, wonderful, and unwaveringly faithful to God brothers and sisters on this platform. I no longer spend time in the groups and am asked about this all the time. God led me away from the groups and I know that He has placed others to lead these groups to heights that I never imagined. It was my job to help lay the ground work.

Through Brother Randy Wyatt, I discovered NACM and how they help those who receive the calling to be Ordained Ministers. I prayed long and hard about entering a physical ministry. If it was God's will that is what I wanted. It was not long after that I met Bishop Johnnie Moore and became an associate Pastor at Soaring Eagle Ministry. I can not begin to say how blessed I am that Bishop Moore is not only my mentor but also the dad that I never had. It is a tremendous blessing to be under his wing and a part of Soaring Eagle Ministry.

The devil has placed many, many obstacles and stumbling blocks in my way along this journey. As I reveal this part of my testimonial, please remember that when I talk about others it is the spirit of darkness which leads them...our battle is not against the flesh. My biggest revelation is that so many who claim to be "Christian" do not even know what it means to walk with Christ. We can know someone for years and not know them at all. Such was the case with Shelley. We were together for five years. The last two years were very draining to say the least. I was trying so hard to concentrate only upon the Lord and doing His work but it was nearly impossible at times because all hell was breaking loose all around me and to make matters worse, my son was showing the effects of not only a loveless union but also a union in which dark, dark spirits were controlling her. I discovered that for the past two years Shelley was dating other men..many other men despite the fact that we were engaged. When my health faltered, she was not there because she was with others. When she had the valve replacement in her heart, I was the one there leading her through every step but as soon as she was out of the hospital, she was on her way to Canada to see her boyfriend there. The day after our engagement was broken, all of these things began to come to light. It was not so much a feeling of hurt as much as pure rage and I had to back up and give it all up to God to deal with and to let that rage go. This was especially difficult when I discovered she had been forcing my own son to lie to me about where she was so much of the time.

All the five years that we had been together, I had stood by her side and supported not only her but also many of her children and grandchildren. This became so very difficult when I was unable to work and my income became reduced to a monthly disability check. I was further devastated and enraged to find that the oldest of her sons whom I supported was using heroin in my home.

I sit here without a drivers license right now because I was working out of state and had sent Shelley the money to pay the car insurance which she never did. There was an accident and a law suit. Because of no fault laws here in Michigan, the entire 25,000 settlement fell on me. With the inability to pay it, the state simply took my license away. While there are plans in process to get that license back soon, that alone has been hell on earth. Yet, I know now that God does provide and this too through Him shall be overcome.

When my son, Robert, and I first moved into this apartment we had little more than two worn out twin mattresses on the floor. I was hurting really bad and unable to function for a period but it was not because of lost love. If I ever loved

Shelley, that was lost so long ago that I do not remember. There were many things that happened which I shall not mention here. The point is I was hurting because I gave five years of my life and every bit of money and material things to someone I truly never knew. I was hurting because I had so little to give my son and he deserved so very much. I was hurting because I saw the deep, deep pain in his eyes and he saw me in such a bad shape. It was gut wrenching to say the least.

I am a living testimony to the fact that when we are faithful to God He rewards us and provides for all of our needs. Two weeks after moving in here, I received a check large enough to furnish this place very nicely, provide the things we needed, and have funds left over. Interestingly enough, Shelley tried to come back into our lives when this check came. She cried and begged and pleaded for me to consider the two of us getting back together. To be quite frank, and I did tell her this, I would rather jump head first into the firey depths of Hell itself than to ever let that happen. Yet, she did touch me by crying and pleading that she had nothing with which to pay her bills and I loaned her one-thousand dollars which she promised to give back within 5 days and I still have not seen and will never see. It was ignorant on my part to loan her that money. Yet, it was worth a billion times that amount to have her out of my life for good. It was interesting that this woman who claimed to be such a "Christian" did not open her bible for at least a month. I remember going back to our old home to get the rest of my things a month later and her bible sat in the floor collecting dust. When I told her about this she said she could care less because her new man was atheist. I don't wish ill will on her and I would ask that you all pray that one day God will bring her to her knees and she will find true salvation before it is too late.

I have spent very little time in my adult life without being in a committed relationship. Therefore, shortly after moving here, I started looking for someone. I figured if my criteria were right and above all to find a "Christian" woman all would be well. That proved to be wrong as well. Of the two women I dated between that time and finding my girlfriend, one I discovered to be full of racial prejudice and the other was in the same mold as I have been accustomed to all of my life, beautiful on the outside but shallow, fake, and lost inside. Truly, there is no such thing as a beautiful woman or person that has no substance or depth on the inside. It has taken this ole stubborn cowboy preacher all these forty something years to realize that.

God has been very good to me and provided all my needs and so very much more. There is not enough praise or thanks and worship in the world for me to truly express my gratitude to our Father in Heaven. I am very thankful that I am part of a true Five Fold end times ministry. In the short time, that I have had the blessing of being placed there by God, I have received prophecies from true prophets of God. The first was that I was going to meet the love of my life and this man even described her. Yet, I missed the part that I was not to be focused on looking....it was to come to me through God, by God, and when I least expected it to happen.

For all those who have asked my girlfriend's name, it is Rhonda Miles. She and I became friends on Myspace a couple of years ago. To be honest, I always thought there was something unique and special about her even since the early days of our friendship. It had been months, at least, since we had corresponded through myspace email. I rarely go on myspace anymore and it is the same with her. Yet, one day we were both on and it caught my attention immediately. We soon began texting on our cell phones and talking. It took little time for us both to discover that not only did we have an incredible amount of things in common but also that we could so often complete each others sentences literally. There was a strong connection from just the phone but a great deal of nervousness on both sides of meeting in person. Yet, that was soon wiped away and it was undeniable that the strong connection and bond is very real. Things are flowing for us in ways that are beyond comprehension.

Yesterday, I was a bit blue because there is about 60 miles between Rhonda an I and I missed her before she really left. I had been praying that if this is God's will we would be given a way to bridge the geographical distance between us. So it was with great amazement and glory to God when I was given the word and vision of starting a church in Ann Arbor under the direction of Bishop Moore. Ann Arbor cuts the distance between us in half and is also the city she works in as well.  We have only just begun but I can tell you that she is certainly the very special woman in my life and I pray to always be able to make her smile.

Finally, I have become molded enough as to not be so hard headed and truly listen to and appreciate the voice of God.

Don't Be a Fool: Wake Up Before It Is Too Late

What are we doing here? What business do God's people have trying to mimic and compete with the world for glory and monetary success? How do  people justify living one way and teaching an entirely different one?

Welcome to the world of hypocrisy that has overruled this earth since the days of Adam and Eve. Of all the traits God longs to find in His people, purity has to be at the top of the list. For most people the word pure conjures up images of Puritans, nuns and ultra-religious sects which forbid their adherents to breathe. The world has so twisted the definition of purity around that those who attempt to live a pure and undefiled lifestyle are nothing but the butts of comedian's jokes.

There will be a day coming, far sooner than anyone wants to believe, when the joke will be on the scoffers. All those who today sit back and deride those of us totally committed to speaking and living the truth of God's Word will be the ones facing an extremely angry God. "That will never happen" they say, but deep down inside they have to know their day of reckoning approaches.

The most grizzly, rude and rank old codger on earth will many times decide to get saved on his deathbed. A person who spent his whole life harassing, slandering and backbiting those who tried to live holy lives suddenly finds himself a few hours from meeting his creator. Isn't it amazing how fear of eternal torment changes a person?

Haven't we all known someone who was mean and vile and was more than willing to tell the world that there is no God, only to be the first in line praying to the God they claimed to not believe in as certain death was ready to sweep them away? "Oh God help me" is the cry of saint and sinner alike. "If you will save me I'll live my life for you" is the plea both the rank unbeliever and strongest believer make to God as their life passes before their eyes.

This is all well and good if a person has the time to cry or make such a plea before their demise. Did the astronauts on the space shuttles that disintegrated have time to utter such pleas? Did the trucker who crashed his tanker truck full of gasoline have time to utter such a cry before an inferno vaporized him instantly? Did those people scrambling down flights of stairs in the World Trade Center really have time to bargain with God as those towers crashed upon them?

God has stated emphatically over and over again in His Word that when the time of destruction comes, rarely will there be time to repent at the last instant and escape the eternal torments otherwise earned. Why should God listen to a person who had a lifetime to repent and chose not to just because he knows his life will be gone in 10 seconds? Maybe God will listen, but I wouldn't stake my eternal future on it.

Being saved is far more than a onetime prayer thirty years ago. Being saved is a matter of the heart being turned to God in true repentance and loving Him with every fiber of one's being. Being saved is living in a way reflective of the inner commitment that God is your Father and you are His child and Jesus is your Savior and Lord. Those who think they can live just like the world and do all the same things as the world and still be saved are sadly deluded.

The lies are coming as swarms both from the mouth of the world and the pulpit of the churches. Compromises have been made and deals have been struck between men of the cloth and the god of this world. Untold wealth and power of unimaginable magnitude have been promised, just as they were to Jesus in the wilderness. Jesus stood upon the truth and boldly spoke to the devil "IT IS WRITTEN". Those who have compromised today have accepted the bribes offered and are basking in the temporal glory of an illusion.

No one will hear the shout but for the dead in Christ. No one will hear the trumpet save those who have truly made Jesus Lord in their lives and have forsaken this world and its promises of fame, fortune and honor in return for the heart. All but the remnant will move on to the next and final stage of God's plan of the ages. All who remain must endure the tribulation of testing and perhaps the wrath of destruction.

Do not delay dearly beloved. Do not wait expecting to repent upon hearing the trumpet blast. It will not happen that way. You will never hear it. Now is the day and hour to crawl into your prayer closet and pour your heart out to the Lord of all. Now is the hour to repent and pray for the cleansing blood of Jesus to wash away all that stains and marks you as unclean. Now is the time to confess with your mouth that Jesus is YOUR LORD. Now is the hour to break the chains of servitude to this world and your own evil and selfish desires.

Don't wait until you are trying to escape a building collapsing upon you. Don't wait until your body is already on fire and burning. Don't wait until it is too late and there remains only weeping and gnashing of teeth and wails of "if only" and "why didn't I" fill this world. There is still time, but the time is quickly running through the hourglass. Please, don't wait until the clock strikes midnight to make the decisions that you still have time to make NOW.
