Acknowledgments

With my deepest gratitude and thanks to the following:

The Holy Spirit for the guidance, inspiration, and hand in showing me the way through the hard times, trials, and tribulations I had to endure to find not only myself but also the Kingdom of God through his Word. You also gave me the strength and courage to write words and to overcome every obstacle that rose up against me.

Thank you for allowing your words to flow through me. I love you.

Kathryn Brown (Grandma) for sacrificial giving and love without ceasing.

Carolyn Ritter (Mom) for showing me to care for others first and unknowingly introducing me to the Kingdom of God by the way you lived. The greatest love on earth I had ever experienced came from you.

Willie Darden (Granddad), who always believed in me when I did not believe in myself and inspired me to keep going.

Pastor Wendell Cover for being a true man of God and a true friend of Israel.

Pastor Saint Clair Mitchell for preaching and teaching Kingdom principles and Kingdom citizenship.

Dr. Mike Murdock, his gift of wisdom, teaching, and books and tapes opened my eyes, a miracle in itself.

The many anointed preachers, authors, teachers, evangelists, missionaries, ministers, film directors, producers, writers, and Christian musicians who have touched my life and the lives of others through words, songs, and films of the Most High God.

My spiritual nourishment, which came from all the media outlets and Christian programming of TBN, Day Star, 700 Club, and lastly Christian radio stations across the country.

May the Lord’s blessing forever be in your lives and the foot of the ground you walk on wherever you are and all the works you do.

You are special, and you have your reward in the Kingdom of God.

Special thanks to my wife, Janet, for giving me the freedom, support, believing in me, and quite time.

(Thanks for turning down the volume.)

Preface

The Word of God and the Holy Spirit have no boundaries; the Holy Spirit can travel anywhere in the world in a millisecond when it is called upon or where it chooses to go.

Your words can also travel anywhere in the world wherever you send them. They enter the mind, thoughts, feelings, and emotions of man, whereas the Holy Spirit enters the heart, soul, and spirit of man.

If the Holy Spirit is abused by not being acknowledged, he can and will depart from you. He is not going to stay in a place very long if he is not welcomed or unappreciated.

With words, it’s a little different.

If someone sends you an unpleasant word about you that is mean-spirited with intentions of diminishing you, unless you speak over it, cast it out, rebuke it, or conquer it, it stays with you all your life and festers and grows.

Words shape your life.

You have to learn to use the Words of God to remove the trash out of your life that has been dumped into it by others or by yourself.

This book is the sum of all I have read, heard, discovered, witnessed, studied, digested, and learned from the teachings of the Holy Spirit and the Word of God throughout my life over the past fifty years.

It is important now that you try to remove any religious prejudices and judgments that can hinder you from hearing and understanding the pure and true Word of God.

Matthew 7:1–2

Judge not, that ye be not judged, for with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged.

Romans 14:4

Who art thou that judgest another man’s servant? To his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden (helped) up: for God is able to make him stand.

2 Timothy 4:8

Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteousness judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.

I innocently assume you have already accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior.

If you are still searching, I pray that you will find your answer after reading this book.

By coming to the Lord with an open heart of innocence, sincerity, and honesty, you will benefit by reaping a better understanding of this book.

Presenting yourself to God with the scriptural prayers and affirmations in this book will put you in a greater posture to hear him speaking back to you while you are reading through the chapters.

Lord, I ask that you bring thy Kingdom of Heaven into the life of the one who is now reading and in possession of this book.

May they become a change agent and a Kingdom overcomer in the world for the glory of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Before you get started reading this book, which you have now in your hands, take a moment to give glory and honor to the Lord by emptying yourself out to him with a prayer of appreciation and acknowledgment of whom all things come.

Thank you, Lord God, creator of the world. You are a life giver and a life changer; everything I have comes from you. Thank you for your mercy, grace, faithfulness, love, and lastly your Word. In Jesus Name, Amen.

God’s Recipe for a Perfect Meal:

Here are my steps I take before cooking a meal. Once decided what the main course is, I first I decide what is the most practical way to cook it that would make it the most enjoyable.

If it is a meat dish, and in this case, let’s say that it is, I have to prepare the meat by cleansing it, which is followed by seasoning it, and then I have to decide what pot or pan I will use to cook it in.

In the Kingdom of God, we are the meat (the Lord’s Sheep); and when you pray and acknowledge the Lord, you become seasoned with his anointing upon you. (Our hearts are being prepared.) He hears your voice, sees your heart, and knows your words.

God has supplied the table or pot he is going to prepare you in (your field, your works), and you are the meat (seed) he is preparing to send out and feed others as the seasoned meat.

We are completed in his Word.

(You are the Lord’s greater purpose.)
