WORSHIP TEAM

The worship team is very important in all churches. I have seen many worship leaders pray for his or her team in the churches. Many times, the worship team draws in the Spirit of God and the Power of the Holy Spirit into the church, which is very, very good. That is one of the reasons for all of us to attend church, so we can have relationship with the Lord Jesus and the Power of the Holy Spirit. The worship leader has a big responsibility for the church’s members and his or her worship team.
The worship team is not considered an entertainer for the church, but to sing and worship the Lord with their mind, body and soul. Maybe I should say the accountability of the worship leader is very great. He must pray to God, so protection will be upon his or her worship team group. We as members must always pray for the worship team and the leader of the group, by applying the Lord’s precious blood upon them and asking the Lord to bless them, because sometimes, they are the first ones to get hit from the Demonic Spirits. “I call it the Front Line.” Sometimes, I can see in a vision a big black blob passing in the front of the worship team while they are singing and worshiping the Lord.
Every so often, people have asked me, Pastor Jimmy, can Demonic Spirits enter into any churches? My answer was yes. Satan was able to approach our Lord Jesus Christ as written in our bible. (NLT) Luke 4: 5- 12 Then Devil took him up and revealed to him all kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. 6 The Devil told him, “I will give you the glory of these kingdoms and authority over them- because they are mine to give anyone I please. 7 I will give it all to you if you bow down and worship me.” 8 Jesus replied, “The Scriptures say, ‘You must worship the Lord your God; serve only him.’*” 9 Then the Devil took him to Jerusalem, to highest point of the Temple, and said, “If you are the Son of God, jump off! 10 For the Scriptures say, ‘He orders his angels to protect and guard you. 11 And they will hold you with their hands to keep you from striking your foot on a stone’*” 12 Jesus responded, “The Scriptures also say, ‘Do not test the Lord your God’*” As you can see we are NOTHING; however, if we have Jesus Christ within our heart and truly believe that He is the Son of God than we become SOMETHING in Christ. Don’t you all agree with me? If you all agree with me, say Amen!!!
Many times, we as a Christians have bible studies, which is very good, to learn and understand God’s words. We must all teach one another and help each other, that is the true Christian in Christ. Don’t you agree with me? Every so often, people have asked me, Pastor Jimmy what church is considered good? My answer was any church that comes in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ is good. It doesn’t matter whether they have 10 or 500 members, because we are not running for any popularity contest, but to worship and please the Lord Jesus Christ, not man. Does it make sense to you? Are you with me so far? If agree with me? Amen!!!
The moral of this message is to ask God to bless the worship team leader and every member in the church.

FRIENDSHIP

Early this morning as I got up from my bed, the word “FRIENDSHIP” came to my mind and I thought about it for a minute or so asking myself, “What about friendship?” I told myself and realized a good friendship is very good for all of us. I truly believe God will approve of it very much. In Hilo’s harbor on the Big Island of Hawaii, you can see, sometimes we have a WHITE SHIP, a REDDISH SHIP, a GRAY SHIP and many other ships, but there is no SHIP as good as a FRIENDSHIP. We, as human beings, must believe in good friendship. Why? Because with a good friendship we are able to help one other and we will have less problems, less bitterness, less anger, less misunderstandings and less negativity toward each other in this world. Do you think this world would be a much better place to live? Of course, it would!!!
Unfortunately, back to reality, Satan and his followers are trying very hard Not to have this happen, unless every one of us comes in unity and one accord with the Lord Jesus Christ and have relationship with power of the Holy Spirit. If that ever happens, Praise the Lord!!! Remember, Satan and his follows are master deceivers and they came to destroy and to kill us. That is their job, they are always opposite from God, because they can’t do anything to hurt God; they pick on us.
Satan knows that we were created in the image of God. (NLT) Gen. 1:26-27 Then God said, "Let us make human beings* in our image, to be like us. They will reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the livestock, all the wild animals on the earth, and the small animals that scurry along the ground." 27 So God created human beings* in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.
God wants all of us to be healthy, wealthy and prosperous while we are living on this earth. So Brothers and Sisters in Christ, have a good fellowship and friendship with everyone, because spiritually we are brothers and sisters. Don’t you agree with me? If you agree with me, say Amen!!!
If you feel that you don’t have a friend or friends in this world, don’t worry about it. If you believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God who sits at the right side of His Father’s throne, then you are not alone in this world. He will never forsake or leave you while you are on this earth or even in Heaven. Our earthly friends are good; however, when they leave this planet, the friendship will cease at that time, but not the Lord Jesus, he will be with you forever. Amen!!!
The moral of this message is always be good to everyone and worship the Lord Jesus Christ from your heart, not from the corner of your mouth. He is the best friend for you.
 
I pray that these messages will help you.

TRUST

Yes, trust in God because he will never fail you. When you get up from your bed in the morning, thank God for it, for the breath of life. It is not necessary to make a long prayer, make it a short by praying, for example, God thank you for the breath of life and keep my family and myself safe throughout the day, make it a wonderful, profitable and enjoyable day, in Jesus mighty name. Wasn’t it short? Because God reads your heart and mind before you physically make your prayer, he already knows what you need and what you want. This will be done all in God’s time. Not on our time. Sometimes, it comes sooner or sometimes later; however, somehow your prayer will be answered. The answer is to keep on praying and keep on asking.
Many times the Demonic Spirits will try to block your request to God. He doesn’t want us as human beings to be prosperous and healthy, he is totally opposite from God. For example, everyday we have sun from the morning to the evening. Right? Are with me so far? Let’s suppose that thick clouds cover the area, then you will have no direct sunlight upon you, but you will know it is daytime. Am I correct so far? Of course, many of us will look at our watch or listen to the time on the radio or watch television to get the time. I truly believe this is the same scenario, as I mentioned above Satan or the Devil will try to block it up so God will not hear our prayer. The answer is to keep on praying and God will hear some of the prayers. Another example, I am sure many of you know that a shotgun will shoot many pellets to a target, some may hit and some may miss the target, depending on the distance. Am I correct? Lets say there are 50 pellets in the shotgun shell and you fire your shotgun and when you check the target, 2 or 3 pellets might hit the target, again depending on the distance where you fired the shotgun from. Am I correct? Amen!!!
The moral of these messages is always TRUST GOD, not men. Can all of you say Amen?
Sometimes, the Demonic Spirits don’t want me to write these topics to all of you, the truth about the God’s words and the bible, normally what I do is bind the Demonic spirits, in Jesus mighty name and send them to the pits of hell by applying the precious blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.
 
I pray that these messages are very informative to you.

FAITH

In the Bible dictionary, faith is defined as trust. Throughout the Scriptures faith is the trustful human response to God’s self-revelation via His words and His actions. God initiates the relationship between Himself and human beings. He expects people to trust Him; failure to trust Him was in essence the first sin. If you were to read from Genesis 3:1-7, Adam and Eve didn’t have faith and trust in God. The serpent, Satan tempted Eve by getting her to doubt God’s goodness. He implied that God was strict, stingy, and selfish for not wanting Eve to share his knowledge of good and evil. Satan made Eve forget all God had given her and, instead, focus on the one thing she couldn’t have. We as human beings always fall into problems too, when we dwell on the few things we don’t have rather on the countless things God has given us. The next time you are feeling sorry for yourself and what you don’t have, consider all you do have and thank god for it. Then your doubt won’t lead you to sin. As I mentioned many times, God doesn’t have one speck or black spot or blemish in Him, unlike we as human beings have. Everyday of our life, we must always ask God’s forgiveness; forgiveness is our answer to many of our problems. There are two ways within our life that we can try to be successful. 1) We as human beings can try to be successful by our own ability by using our wisdom, skill and knowledge. Many times, it may fail. 2) We as human beings can be successful in our life by the blessing from God. For me, I would choose God’s way, because in God’s way, He will open the entire paths for you by removing all obstacles that may come in your way. Believe me, it will become much more smooth sailing for you in your life. Remember, these words:
“FAITH, HOPE AND LOVE” The greatness of these is LOVE. Love conquers a multitude.
I pray these messages are very informative to your life of success.

THANK YOU JESUS

Everyday of our lives, we should thank the Lord Jesus Christ for dying on the cross for all our sins, so we could be right in the eyes of God. (NLT) Ps. 54:6 I will sacrifice a voluntary offering to you; I will praise your name, O Lord, for it is good. (NLT) Jon. 2:9 But I will offer sacrifices to you with songs of praise, and I will fulfill all my vows. For my salvation comes from the Lord alone. (NLT) Ps. 69:30-31 Then I will praise God’s name with singing and honor him with thanksgiving. 31 For this will please the Lord more than sacrificing an ox or presenting a bull with horns and hooves. As you can see, everyday we should be giving thanksgiving to the Lord till the last breath of our life on this earth. Today as I was walking at the farmer market in Hilo, Hawaii, at which every Saturday morning you can see many vendors trying to sell their products within their small canopy tent, with a joyful smile on their faces, some people came with their wheel chair, walking cane, portable oxygen tank and some with no legs, hand, or arm. That is when I realized; we should be thankful and be grateful to the Lord Jesus that we have everything that God had created us with. We should not take everything for granted.
 
We should thank the Lord for the breath of life, without it, all the wealth and health will mean nothing.
We should thank the Lord for the air that we breathe.
We should thank the Lord for the clothing on our back.
We should thank the Lord for the food on our table.
We should thank the Lord for roof over our head.
We should thank the Lord for our legs and feet, so we can be able to walk.
We should thank the Lord for the arms, hands and fingers, so we can do things.
There are many things; we should thank our Lord Jesus for.
 
THANK YOU JESUS!
THANK YOU JESUS!
THANK YOU JESUS!

Everyday we should focus our mind, heart and soul to the Lord Jesus Christ. Don’t you all agree with me? If you agree with me, say Amen! (So be it)

I pray that these messages will inspire you much more toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

FEAR OF THE LORD

In (NLT) Prov. 1:7, Fear of the lord is the beginning of knowledge. Only fools despise wisdom and discipline. I have had several people ask me, “Pastor Jimmy, What is the most fearful thing in your life? Is it facing a demonic spirit?” My answer was sometimes. For me, the most fearful thing is facing the Lord and trying to answer his questions. I am sure many Reverends, Pastors, Ministers, Elders or even Deacons will agree with me. Answering to the Lord is the hardest thing to do. Sure we can say it’s not my fault Lord. For example, let’s say in the army military you are the captain of your platoon and the enemy wiped out your entire platoon. Can you imagine how would you be able to explain this to the higher ups or to their families? It would be very difficult to explain. Don’t you agree with me? I feel this is the same scenario. With the Lord in Mark 4:22, Everything that is hidden or secret will eventually be brought to light.
Let’s talk about sin, Adam and Eve introduced sin into human history by their rebellious actions. Satan deceived Eve and Adam has infected humanity like a dreaded malignancy. Every person is indeed responsible for his/her choice of sin. In Rom. 5:12 when Adam sinned, sin entered the entire human race. Adam’s sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned. THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH.
I know no one is perfect in this world, including myself; however, remember the sins of our great, great, great grand parents. Sins may come upon our children or grandchildren and us. I have been going to lots of homes and sometimes I have seen the sins of the grandparents or parents go down to the generation, who knows when it will end? We must ask God for forgiveness and ask God to cut off the curse of sins, so from here henceforth; our children or grandchildren will not bear the sins of our parents or grandparents. (NLT) Rom. 5:18-19 Yes, Adam’s sin brought condemnation upon everyone, but Christ’s one act of righteousness makes all people right in God’s sight and gives them life. 19 Because one person disobeyed God, many people became sinners. But because one other person obeyed God, many people will be right in God’s sight. Praise the Lord!!!
Now, let’s get back to talk about Reverends, Pastors and etc. We must be very careful about our flocks in our church, we cannot take it very lightly and think no one knows about it, believe me God knows. We as leaders of the church may be accountable for it. Now can you see, what is the most fearful thing? Remember, always asking God for forgiveness is our answer to most of our problems. We as leaders of the church must help the weaker ones in the church and bring and guide them to the Lord. That is one of our jobs in the church. We as the leaders must feed them the WORDS of God. If you agree with me, say Amen! (So be it)
 
I pray that these messages are very informative to you.
