What do small churches looking to borrow $100,000 and gigantic churches borrowing $24,500,000 have in common? They all deal with us. We are church financing experts with a clear purpose: "Exceed every Clients expectation." Simple and clear; just the way we work. We want you to be so pleased that you will feel compelled to tell other churches.

Our Church Loan Process:

First, we design a loan that works for your church based on your needs, objectives, and budget. In some parts of the country that could mean a loan with a 30 year amortization or a completely fixed rate term loan with no balloon. We will work with you to design a program that meets your needs whenever possible.

Second, our customer service and commitment to prompt responses, accessibility and service are unmatched in the financial services world. You can expect to receive a loan answer in as little as 24 hours. We have loan analysts available to speak with your church Monday through Friday 8:30 am to 8pm EST and Saturday 10am to 2pm EST.

Third, we use a team approach. Your team will likely have 4 members:
- Me - Your Loan Officer - I pre-qualify you and help you complete the application to begin the process
- Loan Analyst - Determines how much the church can afford to borrow, and performs the formal write up that is submitted to get an approval.
- Loan Processor - Gathers the documents needed for submission. Sets closings dates and handles the loan closing.
- You - You are a big part of our team. We will keep you informed during the process and provide clear communication.

Again If you need a Loan to purchase, renovate, refinance or provide working capital for your church contact me at 708-299-3244 or email me at churchloans@live.com

My Dear Brother and Sister,
I have claimed this year as a Breakthrough Year to raise awareness about Obesity. Every year over 400,000 people die from Obesity. According to the World Health Organization, 1/3 of all people over the age of 15 are either overweight or obese. Boresha International, Inc.(www.boresharesearch.com) has a line of USDA patented low glycemic products which are the result of 25 years of research of Dr. Ann de Wees Allen(www.anndewessallen.com). These products offer a solution to Obesity. Please go to my website(www.igetpaidtodrinkcoffee.com/bishop) and order a 30-day supply of either the BSkinny Coffee or the Nuvo Gene Tea. Please encourage your church to join the 30-Day Healthy Church Fitness Challenge. We can't continue to lose people at the rate of 46 people an hour.

2010: To the New Dimension
Revelation 21: 1—3


Intro
2010 holds for us possibility, promotion and power! The number 10 is the start of a whole new order of numbers, and the culmination of the numbers that come before it. 10 implies completeness of order; nothing lacking, nothing over. It signifies that the cycle is complete, and that everything is in its proper order. 10 represents the perfection of divine order. I just stopped by to tell you that: though you’ve gone through some trials, tribulations, and devastation over the past 10 years, it wasn’t for nothing. Everything you endured was on purpose, for purpose, in preparation for your promise and promotion. The 10th verse of the Bible is part of the 3rd day of creation that speaks to perfection of order and arrangement where God separated earth from sea and saw that it was good. The 10th chapter of the Bible deals with the descendants of Noah, who himself was 10th generational patriarch from Adam, and completes the Antediluvian Age. From Noah’s son Shem to Abraham is 10 generations and completes the age before the Covenant. There are 10 recorded Passovers in the Bible, the 1st of which is when the Lord instituted it in Exodus 12. The 10th day of the 1st month the Lord gave marks its beginning. The 10th Passover, where Jesus is crucified, is the fulfillment of the pattern, in the perfect sacrifice of Jesus for our sins; therefore 10 completes once, for all, forever! To access these blessings, we must realize that there is also reasonable responsibility that comes along with it. There is a shift in the Heavens, and God has begun to shift us to prepare us for the promotion. We must acknowledge the paradigm shift. Business as usual will no longer be acceptable in the Lord’s church. No more assembling to watch instead of worship; no more preaching to tickle ears and titillate emotions instead of teaching the Word of God; no more coming to church fiending for a hit instead of looking to be spiritually fit. God is taking us somewhere, but the only way to be fit for the next dimension we must accept the shift and the sift, (thank you Apostle Shephard). While we are being moved into a new position in God through Christ, He is also shaking off the impurities and parasites in our lives. Our thinking must change, our behavior must change, our friends and environment must change, and our perspective and perception must change. Dr. Hycel B. Taylor, my mentor and childhood pastor, taught us a relevant paradigm in our struggle as a people that I believe is appropriate for our shift today. We must realize that we are spiritually somewhere between the No Longer, and the Not Yet. The No Longer is that place of spiritual bondage in service to sin; that place you were delivered from by the shed blood of Jesus through salvation. The Not Yet is that place of spiritual freedom; Land of Promise we all long for; eternal life with God in His Kingdom, for where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty! Andrew Harris, October 1999 Google Search The Meaning of the Number 10

The Tragic Trap: The Almost
We are caught somewhere between these two spiritual realities. We find ourselves in a spiritual No Place. This is a wilderness in which we march in circles or even march in place making no progress whatsoever, spinning our wheels and marking time. We shouldn’t be marching at all. We should be in training preparing for our promotion. We go through the religious motions and learn evangelical language, but do not develop the spiritual relationship. Though we have been delivered from conscious bondage, directly serving the enemy through sin, we seem to have been yoked to another type of bondage called tradition. We call it a tragic trap because we experience it after direct bondage while we are on our way to total, complete freedom. But be not conformed to this world, but be transformed… In our paradigm we are in The Almost. This is a dangerous and deceptive place because in is a place where you feel like you are serving God, you feel like you are spiritually maturing, you feel like you have spiritual power. It resembles the Kingdom of God. There are miracles being performed, people are being delivered, people are hearing the Word of God, yet lives have not been changed, and there is no evidence of God’s anointing. We do many things because the tradition has been handed down to us and we don’t even know why we do them. We’ve seen someone else do it and adopted the practice because it looked good. Choose this day whom you will serve! You can serve the gods of your fathers, or worship the idols of the ones in whose land you dwell, but as for me and my house, we will, serve the Lord!

Dying to the No Longer
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation, old things have passed away; behold, all things are become new. Are we really living for Him, or do we want a convenient Christianity? Do we press our way to the church house, or do we go because that is what we’ve become accustomed to? We served sin with a cool, calm, cavalier, care-free attitude and continue to do the same in serving Christ. The elders in the old church said, “I woke up this morning with my mind stayed on Jesus”. Today we serve Him when we want to, or when we feel like it. But we should serve the Lord with gladness; bless the Lord at all times; pray without ceasing; and in all your ways, acknowledge Him. You cannot acknowledge Him through deceitful lusts, envy and jealousy, lying, etc. We must die to our old ways and thinking. This is not just a switch you can turn on and off. Shun evil, resist the devil. Do not try to reform or rehabilitate your old behavior, but die to it! Hold fast to The Way, The Truth, The Life; Jesus Christ, our Lord!

Anticipate the Not Yet
Walk by faith, and not by sight; for without faith it is impossible to please God. God is going to blow your mind this year. He is going to do something in and through you that will literally shock those around you and it will be larger than anything you have ever dreamed of, because He is able to do exceedingly and abundantly more than you could ever ask or imagine. God has not fully revealed what He’s going to do or where He’s taking you. Trust and believe that He rewards them that diligently seek Him. He said He would never leave nor forsake you. Serving the Lord will pay off after a while, because only what you do for Christ will last. Yes there is a great reward for serving the Lord, but it comes with a great deal of responsibility. Don’t let your heart be troubled. Believe in God and in Christ Jesus. Take His yoke upon you and learn of Him, for His way is easy and His burden is light. Continue in the Lord’s teaching, and you will know the Truth, and the Truth will set you free. Study to show yourself approved. Hold to God’s unchanging hand, and in all your ways acknowledge Him. Sing unto the Lord, a new song, and let your light so shine among men, that they might see your good works and glorify your Father who is in Heaven. Look unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith. Wait on the Lord, and be of good courage, for they that wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not get weary; they shall walk and not faint.

To the New Dimension: The Already
New Jerusalem is the place Christ has prepared for His people. In this place you are in eternal relationship with God, a free, uninterrupted relationship. In his vision, John saw a new Heaven and a new Earth because the old creation has been destroyed and passed away. There was no more sea because the total climate and human disposition has changed. Then God will take up residence with us Himself. There will be no more crying, sorrow, death, nor pain because the former things have passed away. As you hunger and thirst for righteousness God will give unto you water freely from the fountain of life, and you shall inherit all things and be God’s child. You’re not just going to another level, but to a new dimension. A level is housed in the same sphere where you are presently, but a dimension is a new sphere. Ascending levels is easier than transcending dimensions. Ascending levels you are able to maintain baggage, but transcending dimensions means you must shed unnecessary baggage because the road becomes more narrow as you ascend to a higher dimension. In preparing to go there, the Lord told me to stop by and tell you not to worry about what you’ll say or wear, don’t even try to map out where to go. He will be with you always. You don’t work or earn your way to New Jerusalem, but you are already a citizen because of Him. He is The Already! He has already paid the price and redeemed you from the enemy. He already prepared a place for you so that you can be where He is. He has already overcome the world, He is arisen! Because He is, we are. Manifest your dreams. Welcome to your destiny! Welcome to your new dimension! Welcome New Jerusalem!

Comment by Raymond E. Watson, Jr on January 8, 2010 at 1:24pm

As the year comes to a close, we start to reflect on what changes we need to make in our lives. There are many that will make the decision that weight needs to be lost, or a habit needs to be stopped. Others will evaluate the relationships that they have and made the conclusion that there needs to be a change in one. These are well and good intentioned changes, however the changes do not deal with the underlying reason why some take on self destructive habits.

We take on self destructive behaviors because we have a low self worth. There might have been something that has happened in our past that has caused trauma to our minds to cause us to feel this way. We might have felt that we were not valued by our families to cause us to feel that we were not worth being loved. No matter what the issue is it has caused us to look at ourselves with little or no self worth.

This is view of ourselves is contrary to how God looks at us. In God’s eyes we are worth the very much to Him. In God’s eyes it does not matter how flawed we are or what we have been through, we are still special to Him. Paul understood this when he penned Romans 5:8, “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”(NIV) God shows His love in spite of our past, in spite how others feel about us, in spite of our faults and failures, even in spite of how we feel about ourselves. It is the knowledge of this love and our acknowledgement of this love that can raise our own self worth.

This New Year let us change our self worth. Let us stop looking at ourselves with our own eyes, and start looking at ourselves the same way that God looks at us. We are important and we do have value. We are important because of God we live, move and have our being because He loves us. We have value because God gave His only son for our sins. That is showing us that we have value. Therefore hold your head up because you are worth it.
