God is doing great things for the Holy Ghost Takeover Ministry. Visit us at www.holyghosttoday.com for lots of things to encourage your heart. Here is one of the articles that you will find there.
Try Jesus
Let me recommend Jesus to you today. If you don’t know Him, this is a perfect time to meet Him. In this time of economic unrest, Jesus is the solution to this problem. Only the Bible contains the answer to all life’s challenging problems. Whether we need salvation, comfort, encouragement or peace, the word of God has it. Everything we need is found in the word of God. Jesus said in Matthew 11: 28-30, " Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. The Bible asks the question is there anything to hard for God and the answer is no. Trouble does not last forever.
These light afflictions are but for a moment. In Romans 8: 35-39 it states, "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 38For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Psalms 139: 7-18 it says, "Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thypresence? 8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. 9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; 10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. 11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me. 12 Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee. 13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. 14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. 15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth." 16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them. 17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! 18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.

The Best Is Yet to Come

Many people need to realize that the best is yet to come. Like a popular song says, you haven’t seen nothing yet. Therefore do not get discouraged or dismayed.Just know that this too shall pass. Philippians 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform [it] until the day of Jesus Christ. Ephesisans 3:20 says, "Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us." Visit the Holy Ghost Takeover Outreach Ministry at www.holyghosttoday.com. Support this ministry through your prayers and financial donations. Several of our newest television broadcasts are now available on this website. Consider adding these broadcasts to your religious collections. These programs teach holiness the old time way. They teach holiness like the old saints have taught it. God bless.

Jesus Will Always Love You

God is blessing me to write this because someone needs to know this one thing. One thing that you never need to worry about is whether God loves you. He loved you so much that he gave
his only begotten Son for you. John 3: 16-17 states, " For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved."
One saint told me that it does not rain naturally every day of the year. This saying can also apply to you spiritually as well. If you are not where you want to be today, just remember tomorrow, if the Lord wills, is another day. That new day can be filled with more happiness and more opportunities for success. Life is made up of hills and valleys. Everyday is not the same. Start looking for happiness in small things like the beauty of a sunny day, the laughter of a family member, or the memories of good times from the past. God is an awesome God. Ephesians 3:20 says, "Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us." Jeremiah 29:11 says, "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end."
There is a song that says, I see you in the future and you look better than you do right now. Believe that things will get better. Put your future in God’s hands. Just say God I don’t know all that you have for me but I trust you. I know that whatever happens to me, it will work out for my good. Hebrew 4:15 states, " For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as [we are, yet] without sin." People of God be encouraged today knowing that God does and always will love you. Visit our website at http://www.holyghosttoday.com/. Write us at holyghosttakeover@gmail.com.

Rise Above It All

Regardless of what the devil throws at you family problems, financial difficulties, illness or unemployment, with Christ you can rise above it all. I Corinthians 10:13 it says thatThere hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God [is] faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear [it]. The Holy Ghost Takeover Outreach Ministry is moving upward. Doors are opening and god is blessing. We are now on television in certain areas. If you would like this ministry in your area email the ministry at holyghosttakeover@gmail.com. We will soon be posting an article on prayer.

People havd made it so. This DVD will give step by step Bible based things to do if you want to be saved.

Run and Don't Be Weary

Sometimes in this Christian walk we become tired because of all the tests and trials. But God wants us to run on and not be weary. Matthew 24: 12-13 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. Because of how we may be treated as Christians on our jobs, in our schools or even in our homes, we must encourage ourselves in the Lord. We must know that god is always there and he will never leave us or forsake us. Greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world. Whatever has happened in your life whether it is a job loss, a divorce, a lack of communication between you and a relative or boss, you can win if you don’t quit. You can have the victory if you put your trust in God..
The Holy Ghost Takeover Outreach Ministry is expanding in other areas. Visit our newest website. It is www.holyghosttakeover.net. Visit my personal website at www.holyghosttoday.com.

Jesus Is Love

Jesus Is Love
By the Holy Ghost Takeover Outreach Ministry
Jesus loved us so much that he was willing to give his life for us. He died and rose again to that we might have life and have it more abundantly. Despite the horrible pain that he suffered on thecross, he still kept on showing love. Luke 23: 32-43 And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be put to death. 33 And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary,
there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left. 34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots. 35 And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the chosen of God. 36 And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar, 37 And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself. 38 And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS. 39 And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us. 40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? 41 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. 42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. 43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise. While he was dying, he was still loving and still saving people.
It is also interesting to note that He did not die until he provided for his mother. John 19: 25 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas,
and Mary Magdalene. 26 When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! 27 Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.
The Holy Ghost Takeover Outreach Ministry remembers Mothers today. Happy Mother’s Day everyday. We have something for your Mother. We also have something for your wife as well. Visit us at http://www.holyghosttakeover.net/ and find a gift for your Mother or your wife. This will be a blessing for them.

I Am a Prisoner of Christ

When God began dealing with me about being saved, He moved a sanctified woman next door to me. When God gave her the opportunity to witness Christ to me, she did. Before she explained Christ to me, I did not know for certain if I was saved or not. As far as I knew, I was living a good moral life. However, there was doubt there. My neighbor let me know that when you have a real relationship with God, you will have no doubt. It is something that cannot be hid or guessed about. When you met Christ in your lions den, you know it. Just like you know when the sun shines. When the birds sing, you know. I realized that I was going to be a prisoner either of my sins and old habits or a prisoner of Christ. Being a prisoner of Christ to me means that his will becomes my will. His ways become my ways. Being in Christ sets me free. If you are a prisoner to drugs, cigarettes, alcohol, or any other form of bondage, there is freedom in Christ. You cannot get out, but Jesus can let you out. Only Jesus has the key. Only Jesus has the powever to break that yoke that has been holding you. Become honestly sorry for your sins, and ask Him to forgive you and come into your life right now. Like a famous preacher once said, Jesus is a habit breaker. In Ephesians 4: 1-6 Apostle Paul refers to himself as a prisoner of Christ. It reads as follows: I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. [There is] one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who [is] above all, and through all, and in you all.
Partner with this ministry today and help us let people know that whatever thing they are wrestling with is a God case. Romans 6:22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. Romans 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. Jesus rolls heavy burdens from his people. Our website at www.holyghosttakeover.org is under construction. Join us as we see it grow. You can watch the ministry video now on this site. When it is finished you will be able to request prayer online. Bookmark this spot and tell others about this dynamic Pentecostal ministry. God bless. God bless.

Run On Children, Run On

Thought for today: Jesus allows us to run and not faint.
Isaiah 40:31 says, But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew
[their] strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall
run, and not be weary; [and] they shall walk, and not faint.
This word of the Lord from the Bible found in Romans 8:37 says.
Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through
him that loved us. You can win if you don’t quit. Regular thoughts
for today will be posted on this site in the future. The Holy Ghost Takeover Ministry is on fire and it is the fire of Pentecost. Therefore, tell a friend, neighbor or loved one about the Holy Ghost Takeover Outreach Ministry at www.holyghosttakeover.org. We have a new website that is under construction. Visit us and see it as it develops. There will be awesome things there to benefit the people of God. You will be able to submit prayer requests on the site. God Bless.

I Need the Bread

In a world of confusion, dilemmas and the stress of human life, I need the bread. I am not
talking about natural bread for the body. I am talking about spiritual bread for the soul. It is the
intent of the Holy Ghost Takeover Outreach Ministry to post wholesome blogs on its websites
that will encourage you and energize you because they will contain the word of God. Is there a
word from the Lord? The answer is yes. Matthew 6:11 Give us this day our daily bread. Luke 4:4 And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God. John 6:35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
The Holy Ghost Takeover Ministry has a new website under construction at http://www.holyghosttakeover.org./ We welcome you to visit us and watch our website develop. This website is God centered and will be very easy to navigate when we are finished constructing it. Tell a friend, tell a neighbor, and tell a loved one about this dynamic ministry.

Jesus Made You a Winner

Somethings are wonderful and we will remember them for a lifetime. Some things are tests and trials. We must remember that our test make us stronger. Think about a stormy night. Consider how the thunder rolled and the lighning flashed. Also think about how in a matter of time, the sun came out. This too will pass. Psalms 30:5 For his anger [endureth but] a moment; in his favour [is] life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy [cometh] in the morning. Thank God for the morning. Thank God for the joy.His mercies are new everyday.

God's Grace

People often complain about various situations in their life. They constantly mull over things that happened to them in their minds. However, how about thanking God for all the things that didn’t happen to you. I like to quote verses from different songs at times when they seem so appropriate. Let me paraphase some of the lyrics to a popular song which said, it could have been me outside no food, no clothes. Left all alone without a friend. Just another number with a traffic end. God didn’t suffer these things to be. Thank God for all he has done for me. What would happen if we could not see the sunshine or hear the happy sounds of children laughing and playing? God in his wisdom has not put anymore on us than we can bear. We are more than a conqueror. Whatever the situation in your life, with Christ you can win. You can overcome. You can endure. Visit our new website under construction at www.holyghosttakeover.org. Email us for prayer at holyghosttakeover@gmail.com. The Holy Ghost Takeover Ministry has some new exciting things being added to this rapidly growing ministry to bless the people of God so bookmark this site and check back with us in the coming weeks.

Jesus Speaks to All Ages

The Holy Ghost Takeover Ministry will be posting fundamental teachings on holiness. The modern church seems to be caught up for the most part in attracting souls to it through various forms of songs that sound like the world to dancing choirs that do not always portray Christ. It is the position of the Holy Ghost Takeover Ministry that what it took for the saints of old it will still take for us today. Hebrews 13:8 (King James Version) Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. If we are saved at all it is through the word. If we are kept at all it is through the word. It is our prayer that the fires of Pentecost will burn again in our souls. Write us with your prayer requests at holyghosttakeover@gmail.com. Our website is under construction. However, you can view the video at www.holyghosttakeover.org.

God is a Waymaker

Word of Encouragement from the Holy Ghost Takeover Outreach Ministry
Thought for Today: God is a Waymaker
So many times God has made a way for me. I love to quote verses of songs. There is a song that says while I was trying to figure it out, God has already worked it out. I have had to deal with so many things as many other people have. I have wondered how can I do this or what should I do to make this work. One of my family members became ill. The illness appeared as a rash. It started to spread leaving black spots behind. I had never seen anything like it. As the disease started to spread toward her face, I knew that only God could stop this attack of the enemy. Then God spoke a word to me. I told my family member what the Holy Ghost told me. She went to the doctor and the doctor prescribed that kind of medicine. Now the marks have faded so into the skin that I can hardly see them. I Corinthians 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God [is] faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear [it]. Regular words of encouragement will be posted to encourage you so visit us again.

Nobody But God

Regardless of what is going on in our lives right now, we must admit if it had not been for God we could not have made it this far. When I think about all the things that I have personally gone through, I know that it was God presence with me all the time that made the difference. When we think of the prayers that we have prayed in difficult situations and how God brought us out. It is amazing. Perhaps you can think about problems whether personal, financial, or physical and all you can say is but God. I am so thankful to be saved that I want to go and tell the world that Jesus will make your life brand new. He will bless you. Not only will he bless you, he will help you in your everyday walk with him. So many things happen to people but we need to remember 1 Corinthians - Chapter 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God [is] faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear [it].

Jesus Cares About You

Word of encouragement from the Holy Ghost Takeover Outreach Ministry. There is a song that says he looked beyond my faults and saw my needs. Hebrew 4:15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as [we are, yet] without sin. People of God be encouraged today. You can email me for prayer at marythings@yahoo.com. Our new website is under construction. However, you can see our video at www.holyghosttakeover.org.
