The morning star an expression of God

Did you know there are about 13 planets in our solar system all sharing the same morning star; a large hot plasma mass called the Sun. From our perspective looking at the Sun from Earth seems like the Sun is not too far or too big. When in fact that could not be farther from the truth. The Sun compared to planet Earth is almost incomprehensible.

Consider the following facts:

- the distance between Sun and Earth is just under 93 million miles

- the earth is just under 8000 miles across, while the sun is just under 865,000 miles across. Meaning you would need at least 109 Earths side by side to go from one end of the Sun to the other

- planet Earth shares a solar system with 12 other planets and the Sun. All 13 planets make up only .14% of the total mass of our solar system, while the Sun makes up the remaining 99.86%

- the Sun is so large that you could fit 1.3 million earths within the sun if it were hallow

- the mass of the Sun is 333,000 times that of the earth

The analogy of the Sun compared to the earth is the only comprehensible way for us to have some understanding of two facts about the Lord:

1) how immense he is and how small we are, yet

2) he loves us with the same measure of intensity

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches

In fact He loves us so much that he promised twice in scripture to give his sons through Christ Jesus the bright and morning star. Meaning one day during this age Gods people of this earth will harness powers and authority so great that it can only be likened to the degree of strength of the Sun. This is the extent of Gods allowance for mankind's abilities on planet Earth.

Furthermore we must keep in mind that this power and authority is yet a microcosm compared to Gods actual being. Consider that as vast as our star The Sun may be, that it is in fact the smallest of the other stars in the universe known to mankind. The largest known star we have been able to identify is VY Canis Majoris. The Sun would look like the size of pin hole compared to that star. Check out this YouTube video Planet Sun Star Comparison and this posting by Mr. Fraser Cain - What is the Biggest Star in the Universe for further elaboration.

Truly the Lord our God is vast, there are no words to describe him, He is magnificent in every way, no man can or ever will understand Him, He deserves all the glory and the praise. He is the utmost, The Sovereign one. He has commanded us to follow his chosen Son Christ Jesus and has placed him between He and us. And with a pure heart let us honor his will and gladly serve King Jesus with all our hearts and minds.

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches

Amen,

Five Level Leadership

Some years ago Mr. Jim Collins did an in depth research on companies that made the leap from mediocre results to exceptional financial returns over a period of time. He started his research with the quest of discovering the common driving point of what it takes to build a great organization.

To our surprise his years of empirical research lead he and his team to conclude that leadership beyond any other element is the single most important factor in building a truly great company and sustaining it through a long period of time.

In Mr. Collins book Good to Great he states his research lead him to the conclusion that there are five layers of leadership that when combined make a great leader. KMBriggs firmly believes in his research and agree with the following conclusions. (Please note the five listed below are not what Mr. Collins actually named them, nor are the definitions exactly what he stated in his book, however they are similar. We hope you pick up a copy of Good to Great as it is definitely a good investment of time well spent)

Five Level Leadership:

1) Technical skill - the ability to be a good worker including being organized, punctual, reliable, and other basic work ethic

2) Teammate - the ability to work with others in a team setting and to be a positive contributor to the effort of labor with others

3) Coordinator or Supervisor - the ability to pull people together and get teams to work toward goals and objectives

4) Visionary - the ability to see the larger picture and create plans based on the vision to lead the group to success

5) Humility - truly great leaders, the rare ones have a small ego or at least choose to set it a side. They actually believe and operate on the truth that they are not the reason success is being created. They believe the people and circumstance around them are the primary reason for the motion in their organization.

The truly great leaders possess all five of these traits and constantly seeks to strengthen each layer, regardless as to his status.

KMBriggs believes the development of all five traits are essential and each of them can be developed in any individual so long as it is brought to his attention, he desires to possess all five of them, and intentionally practices each level throughout his entire lifetime.

Nothing can stop your destiny or purpose, not even you

We believe God is a being operating in three time zones at the same time; present, history, and future. In his world what is going to happen has already happened. Therefore the destiny and purpose of each person has already been fulfilled.

Subsequently nothing can stop the destiny or purpose people, not even the person themselves. We are going to become what we are called to become, even when "mistakes" are made, such as ignorance, abundant giving, or too much disclosure.

The biblical son Joseph a hero of the Jews and ultimately the Christian faith was not very wise with dealing with his brothers. It is possible he could have escaped his brothers abuse if he practice a bit more humility. However in spite of his weakness, the Lord developed his wisdom and utilized him as a great man of influence.

This message was inspired by Dr. Jamal Bryant who spoke about dysfunctional families in the You Tube clip titled "THE BLESSING & THE BURDEN OF A BLENDED FAMILY, Dr. Jamal Bryant at Empowerment by First"

This sermon helps to provide greater understanding of our point. Watch the entire clip if you can, but the essence of our message starts at 3:50.

God bless us all.

Recruiting believers for the Kingdom of Christ

Last night I had a delightful dream in which the Lord bless me with great laughter. Through this message He instructed me on how we are to enlist his chosen disciples to his kingdom.

Dream Details

King Jesus showed me joyfully facing a large sheet of paper, with the expanse of my body walking through it. I then turned around once on the other side and explained to others how to walk through as well. When they walked though the large paper they in turn helped me to bring others through the sheet of paper and the cycle continued. Throughout the entire dream we laughed as if we were making jokes, oh we thoroughly enjoyed each other.

Dream Comprehension

The Lord explained to me that when I walked through the sheet of paper I entered into his Kingdom and experienced the joy associated with it. While their he gave me a paying job within his kingdom to help others connect with their jobs. I turned around faced the back side of the sheet and began to help administrate the process of enrolling new people into his kingdom. They found purpose and meaning in their new paying jobs and with joy they helped others find jobs. From there the cycle endlessly continues.

The King told me he will always fill our Kingdom with joy and laughter. The sweetness of our labor will recruit others into his kingdom. The large paper represents his body, which is the word of God. Each new member of the kingdom will receive the word of God with joy and will eat from their capacity. He decreed KMBriggs will recruit men and women to the kingdom, with joy we accept his word.

The Heart of Leviathen

The Leviathan:

- the mere sight of him is overpowering

- no one is fierce enough to rouse him

- who can strip off his outer coat?

- who would approach him with a bridle?

- who dares open the doors of his mouth, ringed about with his fearsome teeth?

- his back has rows of shields tightly sealed together; each is so close to the next that no air can pass between. They are joined fast to one another; they cling together and cannot be parted

- his snorting throws out flashes of light

- his eyes are like the rays of dawn

- firebrands stream from his mouth; sparks of fire shoot out

- smoke pours from his nostrils as from a boiling pot over a fire of reeds

- his breath sets coals ablaze, and flames dart from his mouth

- strength resides in his neck; dismay goes before him

- the folds of his flesh are tightly joined; they are firm and immovable

- his chest is hard as rock, hard as a lower millstone

- when he rises up, the mighty are terrified; they retreat before his thrashing

- the sword that reaches him has no effect, nor does the spear or the dart or the javelin

- iron he treats like straw and bronze like rotten wood

- arrows do not make him flee; slingstones are like chaff to him

- a club seems to him but a piece of straw; he laughs at the rattling of the lance

- his undersides are jagged potsherds, leaving a trail in the mud like a threshing sledge

- he makes the depths churn like a boiling caldron and stirs up the sea like a pot of ointment

- behind him he leaves a glistening wake; one would think the deep had white hair

- nothing on earth is his equal — a creature WITHOUT FEAR

- he looks down on all that are haughty; he is king over all that are proud

The 2007-09 Recession is Over, so where are we headed now?

I would like to take the liberty to express that our economy will never be the same as the old rules of personal financial development has changed. In this new economy the individual has a greater responsibility for himself and over time loses economic power should he continue to put his complete faith in corporate and government America to sustain his livelihood. Everyday information and power through the internet (and other technology) becomes easier to access for all individuals across the globe. This places both a benefit and a greater obligation for each individual to evolve into a more intelligent being.

Greater access to information through the internet and the decreasing price of technology is very similar to the development of the electronic traffic light. Today no one who drives an automobile or pedestrian walking city streets has the option to claim they do not understand traffic lights or the option to refuse to obey their commands. It is a minimum expectation of all citizens to at least understand and comply with the law of traffic lights. This is a fine example of the impact technology has with regard to survival in the new economy. Those who utilize the information highway as a means to gain financial knowledge and wealth will have the greatest potential to reap economic prosperity. However the majority of those who resist aggressively seeking to independently finance their own future and wait for others to provide security for them will brunt the harsh blow of our ever evolving economic landscape. Simply stated demand for human intelligence is going up while demand for human physical labor and lower brain activity occupations (including many fields requiring advance academic education) are going down.

Furthermore, what the world is experiencing is the leveling of powerful super nations and the rising of historically underdeveloped nations. Forecast already predict within the next 20-50 years China and India will have the larger economies of all other nations. Biblically speaking the old testament prophet Isaiah states it is the will of God to level mountains and bring all nations down to the same level, like sand on a beach. Therefore I encourage you to stay a head of the pack and seek yee knowledge.

Below is an email I wrote to a group of Birmingham business leaders on October 1, 2009 regarding the end of the US great recession. I also published a YouTube video entitled Is The Recession Over where I expound more on why I know the recession is over and help to define how a recession develops.

Financial Optimism is in the air

Today, in my opinion, is the start of a renewed sense of financial stability in our economy both locally and nationally...

I believe sales will be up through at least the end of the calendar year for the following reasons :

- this is a natural time of year retail consumers are prepared to spend discretionary income on preparing for the holidays

- very soon (this month) the federal government will announce the recession that began December 2007 has officially ended!

- the new 2009-10 fiscal year started today, meaning many budgets (especially government, the largest consumer of all) have large sums of money that are untouched (awaiting the new fiscal year for transacting) and ready to be released

- most of the federal stimulus money was slated to begin distribution this new fiscal year, so we can expect more dollars to flow through the economy by November. The effect of these dollars will last a year or more.

- we have three months left in the calendar year and a lot of small business owners are looking to minimize their tax burden by expensing out dollars before the December 31 deadline

- also, the message from media outlets will significantly lighten up related to the peril of our economy

Overall, consumers will be thinking less about what they might lose financially and will feel more secure in their economic circumstances. Many projects that have been delayed will be a higher priority to accomplish, and the willingness to spend discretionary income more freely will continue to increase. I believe we are out of the storm now. So...what are you doing or have done to prepare your company to embrace the new economic wave that began today?

Swine Flu - program of destruction

Swine Flu is part myth created for economic profit, but also an issue that should be addressed with reason. Extra precaution should be taken, as this program of destruction can be avoided or at least minimized. I encourage you to come up with a strategy for managing this small pandemic already reeking havoc in our communities. It is expected to become stronger starting in October and die down around February/March.

Dr. Mercola posted an article titled:

One of the Key Herbs that Prevents and Treats Swine Flu ...

which has good physical methods of prevention to minimize the effects of this menace. However, you should also spiritually arm yourself and ask God for the other keys of passover He has available to allow this program of destruction to "Pass Over" you and your family.

More importantly, if you do not have the knowledge and/or understanding of what passover encompasses, I implore you to research this vital spiritual key that God has available for all of us.  If you do possess knowledge of passover, but perceive it as (only) a historical event, I urge you to ask God to show you that programs of destruction are real and ever present; fighting against us with every passing moment. Most of us are unaware of the programs that exist or how they are designed, but we must arm ourselves with knowledge so we can defend our family and friends.

Remember for every program of destruction set against us, God creates a key to unlock the solution which prevents it from harming our house. All you have to do is ask and He will lovingly give it to you.
