(Andrew) Hey family hope that everyone is doing well!
well today i just wanted to share with you guys about a trip we took to the Zoo this Saturday. it was a BLAST!!! me and Jami have been wanting to go check out the zoo for so long and we finally did it! we were some of the only ones there because it was over cast which rocked! we saw turtles, lions, bears, Jami petted some goats and lambs, there were so many amazing animals there. the really cool thing we saw there were family's. family there with kids!! hahaha mom's dads sisters brothers all walking together and experiencing the amazing things God created. it was special especially for me. we saw a Guy there with his little son had to be 3 or 4 years old and they were having a great time. but it was just them to having man time, father son time, it really hit me and exited me. I cant wait till i can do that, till i can take my boy/girl out and just spend time with them, use normal things in life to teach them stuff and poor love on them.
God is so faithful family i knew this time would come but had no idea how it would feel Jami and i are parents! I'm a Dad and Jami is a mom, we did nothing to deserve it, we did nothing to earn it, all we have done is be obedient to God's spirit and submitted to His word.

Kingdom People
(Andrew): Hey family know it's been a while since we've posted anything but there has been so much going on! God is really moving in our lives.
So there is a specific thing I want to talk to you guys about that I have been learning at school. Powerful teachings that have been changing the way I think, believe, pray, read, feel, EVERYTHING! The subject is about being a Kingdom Person, definition: a human that lives on earth but is a citizen of Heaven. A person who's values, focus, economy, passion and priority's are all based and drawn from the Kingdom (the Kingdom of Heaven of course) that they belong to. My goodness where to begin?! There are so many things that we gained when Christ died, was burried, and rose again. As a matter of fact in Philippians 3:8-10 talks about how though Paul knew so much he counted all as rubbish! And that to know the power of the resurrection was his ultimate goal. So now I ask, how much time have we spent really asking God and seeking out His word to see what all was bought through that amazing example of true love? Things we can think of right off the top of our Heads is: 1. Salvation (Romans 1:16) 2. Freedom (John 8:32) 3. Healing (James 5:16) these are basic ones that have many scriptures backing it up. But I want to challenge you with a 4th thing and its definitely not the last thing but one that God has been showing A LOT of lately and that's Authority. Yeah I said it Jesus paid the price so that us as believers, Kingdom people have Authority over the devil, over sickness, over bondage, and here comes the big one over THIS EARTH! (John 14:12) basically covers it all! The church has not talked about our authority very much, whats up with that? How different would our lifes be if we followed Kingdom principles and started living according to the Kingdom of Heaven instead of settling for thing in this world? How many times have we prayed for God to do something He has already done for us? And all we need to do is by Faith, receive it! (Colossians 3:1) says that Jesus is SEATED at the right hand of the Father. If there is still work or things to be done why would Jesus be sitting down? What if there is nothing left for Him to do? What if all that is left is just to receive what Jesus has already done!! You know how differently we would pray? Act? LIVE!? Don't ask for Healing confess your sins, and have the elders lay hands on you and just receive it by faith! Don't beg for bread, but seek the Kingdom of Heaven first and He will take care of your needs! Don't beg for money or loans pay your Tithe (Malachi 3:6-11) and hold God to His word! Don't deal with demonic powers messing with you like fear, lust, doubt or inferiority, rebuke them in the name of Jesus and command them to leave you alone! Don't accept the deep thoughts that are inside of you saying your not good enough, no one likes you, everyone will reject you, etc. Renew your mind with the word of God. Meditate on it in the mornings and night time. If your don't understand ask the Holy Spirit to explain it to you. We don't toil any more in thought or worry! Or at least we shouldn't. We have the Holy Spirit who knows EVERYTHING. Family I don't know about you but I want the fullness of God evident in my life. Every single thing that Jesus died for me for and gave to me at salvation I want to walk in the full manifestation of that! We were not meant to blend in with the crowd or just look like another person struggling to get by. The word says we are overcomers through Christ Jesus.
Look at your life ask yourself, "Is there any part of my life that I have just settled or accepted as being normal?" Then I want you to look up scriptures about that subject. Money, relationships, parents, imagination, creativity, health, physical body, self-image what ever it is start speaking the scriptures that you find over yourself and pray in the name of Jesus that that area would align itself with the Word of God. Isn't is the bible true or not? Is God faithful to His word or not? Does He love you with everything in His being or not? If we don't have God's promises to stand on, if His words will not remain no matter if heaven and earth fade away, then we are absolutely hopeless. But bless God I don't know about you but I have never seen the righteous forsaken or begging for bread. I thank God that no matter the storm, no matter the test, no matter the sin, He has never ever let me down.
God bless you family I pray that this encouraged you and that you will walk in the fullness of His plan for you....
