I love sitting close to the water. 

It seems that I can hear the voice of the Lord in the sound of the waves.

So I had the privilege of visiting New Smyrna Beach the weekend of Pentecost Sunday.

I could feel the wind of the Holy Spirit coming off of the water. It was a very beautiful atmosphere.  Cool breeze, awesome views at sunset and I was just praying and seeking the  Lord. 

The Lord reminded me of how people are being empowered and walking into their destiny and calling and gifts are being activated. So just like Paul told Timothy to  “stir up the gifts that are within you,” I believe that even on this past Pentecost Sunday, with the breath of the Holy Spirit blowing, God is stirring up gifts within us.

He is stirring up those gifts that we know we have, and those that we didn't know that we possess, that are coming to fruition. 

This is the time and the season to walk into this divine time and be empowered in the midst of this...

As a former politician I believe that it is now my turn to speak up and say what thus saith the Lord. I always like to err on the side of caution and not just speak my own personal opinions, rants, and ideas because I know that that won't be fruitful.  It won't be beneficial to anyone.

My ideas and thoughts won't make a difference unless  it is led by the spirit of the Lord God.

I want to come aside and talk to my Christian brothers and sisters (those who have received Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior). 

I pray that above any political party or ideology that modern day culture promotes, that you keep the Kingdom and the mission of the Kingdom first and foremost.

The preaching of the gospel of Jesus Christ is the best and most powerful message that we can give to our nation and the nations of the Earth. The message of Jesus Christ and his sacrifice for all humanity is what will transform the hearts and minds of the people.

But if you yourself are instead...
