"Go Ye Into All The World And Preach The Gospel...."

9/7/2013

0 Comments

 
The Lord has given every Believer the command to go out into the world and preach the Gospel everywhere you go to everyone you meet.  Some might say, "I'm not called to be a preacher."  Jesus has chosen you (John 16:15) and ordained you to bring forth fruit for the Kingdom of God.  That means sharing the gospel with those you interact with on a daily basis.  Your world is where you are, starting with your own family, friends and where you work.


God has commissioned us, and has sent us, to share the Gospel to the world.  The Gospel is the good news about Jesus Christ.  Whenever you share the good news about what Jesus has done for you to others, you are preaching the Gospel.  Tell others about how good Jesus has been to you, how he has changed your life.  Tell others that when they accept Jesus as their Savior, he will change their life, too.  


When I was a young boy of 11 years of age, I was under conviction of my sin, even at that age.  I knew that sin was bad.  I knew that when I disobeyed my parents that not only would I get punished by them, but I felt bad inside.  I was under conviction because of the Holy Spirit speaking to my heart about my sin and what I had done wrong.  I attended the morning service at First Baptist Church, Natchitoches, Louisiana and at the end I went up and talked to the Pastor and he led me to the Lord, and I accepted Jesus as my Savior that day.  He shared the good news with me about Jesus and I was immediately born again!  I was so happy that day!


Jesus has been my friend for many years now.  He has been with me through many ups and downs in life. I was called to preach while serving in the U.S. Army.  I was one of the founding members of Stuttgart Baptist Church, Stuttgart, Germany.  When my six year enlistment ended I flew to the U.S. and moved to Greenville, South Carolina, where I attended Tabernacle Baptist Bible College. 


I have been in the ministry many years now, serving the Lord.  There have been times of sickness, and Jesus healed me.  There have been times of heartache, and heartbreak, and Jesus comforted me and healed my hurts.  There have been times of depression and Jesus comforted me, and then He renewed my mind with His Word.


Why am I saying all of this?  I am sharing this with you because I care about you.  God cares about you.  He cares about your life.  If you have no purpose in your life, if you have no meaning and don't know why you are here, come to Jesus.  If you are hurting inside, you are heartbroken, come to Jesus.  He can heal your hurts, and he can heal your broken heart.  


If you have never accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior of your life, you can do it now.  Being born again is more than just going to heaven, it is having a personal relationship with the Creator of the universe, the one who cares for you.  Jesus tells us, "I will never leave you, nor forsake you. Come to him today.  Give your heart to Jesus and let him change your life from the inside out.


The Bible tells us, in Romans 10:9 - 13 
"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.  For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.  For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.  For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."


Say this simple pray with me, "Lord Jesus, I know that I have sinned.  My life is not where I want it to be.  I repent of my sins and want you to change my life.  I believe that you died and rose again.  I ask you to come into my heart and be the Lord of my life.  Thank you, Jesus for saving me."


If you prayed that simple prayer, you are now saved!  You are born again!  You have become a new creature in Christ Jesus.  


As a minister of the Gospel, I welcome you as a new Believer!  Angels are shouting in heaven for you!  We celebrate you for becoming a child of God.

“The Lord Has Pleasure in Your Prosperity”

8/31/2013

0 Comments

 
“Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the Lord be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.” - Psalm 35:27

“Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.” - 3 John 2

There seems to be a controversy in the Body of Christ concerning money, and prosperity. I'd like to define what prosperity is so we can understand that it is not a bad thing.

“Prosperity is having more than enough to provide for your family, an overflow to help others and seed to keep planting.”

The Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary defines prosperity as “the condition of being successful or thriving; especially : economic well-being.”

The Lord has pleasure when you are prosperous, providing for your family, helping others and sowing seed to keep reaping your harvest. The Apostle John stated that he wished “above all things” that you would be prosperous and be in good health. That tells me that the Lord wants your health to be thriving as well.

In John 10:10 (AMP), Jesus tells his disciples, “The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows).”

This tells me that the Lord wants you to live your LIFE with abundance, and not lack.  It is not money that causes evil, it is the lack of money that causes so many problems today.  Money is NOT the root of all evil, the Bible tells us that, "The LOVE of money is the root of all evil,"  so that tells me that having money is not a bad thing, but it is good to have.  Money is a tool for us to use to advance the Kingdom of God.  God gave the church the commandment to "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature."  (Mark 16:15)  God did not give this to the business world, he gave this assignment to the church, the body of Christ.  It takes money to reach out into all the world by TV, Satellite, radio, internet and telephone to preach the Gospel to others and lead them to Jesus.  It takes money to support ministries and missionaries who go out into the world to preach the Gospel. It takes money for the local church to carry out the mission that God gave it. Corporations were not entrusted with this great mission.  It was entrusted by God to the church.

Psalm 1:1 – 3 tells us, “Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.


But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.”

The Lord wants above all things for you to prosper in every area of your life. He wants your job to prosper you. He wants your health to be prosperous so you can live a full life for Him. He wants your relationships to prosper, your marriage to prosper, your children to prosper. His desire is that your life would be so full, and that it would overflow so you will be a blessing to others and a light to the world.

“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.” - Joshua 1:8

To your success,
Tom

"The 10 Greatest Lessons I Learned in 2012"

12/30/2012

1 Comment

 
Here are some of the greatest lessons that I learned from 2012 that I want to share with you.  I asked myself some hard questions and received answers to those questions from the Lord.

1.  Who your 5 closest friends are, and who you hang out with on a regular basis, matters.
- Who your closest friends are will help shape and define your character, good or bad.
-  It will determine your income.
-  Your friends will either drive you to achieve your greatness, or demotivate you to failure and frustration.

2.  Love Others 
-  Take no one for granted.
-  We are in the people business.
-  What I do for others, God will do for me.

Loving others is more than just a commandment from God.  It is a lifestyle we must practice to achieve our greatness.  You will not become successful without loving others and showing your love for them.

3.  Your Beliefs, and philosophy, Do Matter.
-  Who Do You Believe, matters.
-  A wrong belief, or set of beliefs could set you back for years from walking in, and achieving, your greatness.
-  Your Self-belief matters.  A healthy self-esteem is vital for you to achieve success.
-  How many books every year that you read matters.
-  How many audios/videos/DVD's you listen to or watch every year matters.
-  What you learn from them matters.

4.  Honor Your Commitments To Others.
-  You are known if you keep your word, or break your word.  Your word is your bond and you will become successful when known as a person who keeps his/her word to others.
-  Can you be trusted by others?
-  Can you be trusted by God?

5.  Do Everything You Do As Unto The Lord.
-  Do you add value to others, and to your employer at work?
-  Is there order in your life?
  a.  God created the universe in perfect order.
  b.  Man is the only thing on this planet out of order.

6.  What You Focus On Matters.
-  You get what you think about (focus on) most of the time.
"For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he."  - Proverbs 23:7
-  What are you thinking about most of the time?
-  What would you like for others to remember you by when you die?
-  What would you like to accomplish in your life while you are still living?
-  Are you reading and meditating on the Word of God?  If not, Why?

7.  Saving Money For Your Future Matters.
-  Save for investments to earn you more income.  Make your money work for you.  (Parable of the stewards)
-  Save for your retirement.
-  Save to invest in yourself.  Your mind is your greatest investment.
-  Save for sowing into others when they ask.

8.  The Seeds That You Sow Matter.
-  Pay your tithes to the Lord first.
-  Give offerings unto the Lord.
-  Sow into others.

9.  Your Mentor(s) Matter.
-  Who do you listen to?  
-  Do you have a mentor(s), and if not, why don't you?
-  do you take action on the advice of your mentor?
-  What are the results you are achieving?

10.  Results Do Matter.
-  We live in a results oriented society, and God expects results from you.
-  When you are diligent in your life and work and are producing positive results, good things come to you.
-  When you are lazy and producing little, or no results, bad things happen to you.
-  Are you an action taker, or procrastinator?  
-  If you are not getting the results you want, you must ask yourself the hard questions and find out why.  Take corrective action now to change your destiny.  You will be glad you did.

I pray that this will cause you to think and start planning for 2013 to be the greatest year of your life.  

May the Lord richly bless you will all wisdom, knowledge and understanding and may you walk in abundance and prosperity in 2013!

The Faith of Champions

11/20/2012

0 Comments

 


In October 2012  I wrote and published my first book called, "The Faith of Champions."   I wrote this book to help you overcome the many obstacles that you  face every day.  Your unbelief is costing you more that you think. 

The purpose that I wrote this book is to help you to overcome your unbelief, which is keeping you from living the life you dreamed of living. It is your faith that takes you to your greatness in the kingdom of God. Your faith gets you through the many trials in life. Your faith gets you the desires of your heart. And most importantly, your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ gives you eternal life with Him!

My faith has been tested through 4 surgeries, divorce, business failure, homelessness and during times of depression. My faith was tested when I made a move to Texas in 2005. When you are doing something significant in your life for God, or in some way inspiring others and seeing lives changed, your faith will be tried and tested.

What is faith?

The definition of faith according to the Word of God comes from Hebrews 11:1- 3 - “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good report. Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.”

"Faith is confidence in God. Faith is believing in something you cannot see, but you just know that it exists, or can exist."

“Faith is deliberate confidence in the character of God whose ways you may not understand at the time." ~ Oswald Chambers

“Either faith is producing your desires, or fear is keeping you from them...” ~ John Ramsey

You are either walking in faith, or walking in fear.  it is YOUR choice.  Fear is not of God.  “ For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” ~ 2 Timothy 1:7.  Who do you believe?

"Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe." ~ Saint Augustine"

"Have faith in God." ~ Mark 11:22

God bless,
Tom Bice

5 Keys To Your Healing

4/19/2011

5 Comments

 
I would like to elaborate more on my last blog post. 

There are some keys to unlock the door to your healing!

Here are 5 of those keys:

1.    You Must Believe That God Will Heal You.

If you have doubt in your heart that God will heal you, and doubt God and His Word, then you have disqualified yourself from being healed.   Believe God’s Word for what it teaches!

Believe, and receive. Doubt and do without!

2.    Stand On The Word of God As The Authority For Your Healing.

Here as some Scriptures that I stood on for my healing:

“…and with His stripes we are healed,”  (Isaiah 53:5);
“…for I am the Lord that healeth thee,” (Exodus 15:26);
“He sent His word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions,” (Psalm 107:20);
“I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord,” (Psalm 118:17);
“For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the Lord,” (Jeremiah 30:17);
“Who his own self bare our sins in his own body…by Whose stripes ye were healed, “ (1 Peter 2:24);
“Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health….”  (3 John 2);
“Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; Who healeth all thy diseases;” (Psalm 103:1-3)
“If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.” (Mark 9:23)

Remember, the Word of God has power!  It has power over your sickness and disease!

3.  Your Faith Is the Seed For Your Healing.

“But without faith it is impossible to please him.” ( Hebrews 11:6).

You already have faith within you.  “…God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.” (Romans 12:3)
“According to your faith, be it unto you.” (Matthew 9:29
“If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.” (Mark 9:23)

Activate your faith for your healing and believe that God has healed you already!

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” (Hebrews 11:1)

God wants to heal you!  Activate your faith today and be healed!

4.  Pray!

Your fervent and passionate prayer will move the heart of God.  God is moved by your passion and by your faith.  Ask others to pray for your healing.  “…pray one for another, that ye may be healed.  The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.” (James 5:16)

“Again I say unto you, that if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.”  (Matthew 18:19)

How powerful is that!  I can come into a prayer of agreement with someone and I can be healed!  The Word of God is powerful if we only believe!
5.    Expect To Be Healed!

Simply stated, the Law of Expectation tells us that whatever you expect, with confidence, becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. When you expect with confidence that good things will happen, they usually will.

Expect your healing!  Expect with confidence that you are healed!

Yes, you can be healed!  God wants you to be healed today! 

“Our heavenly Father, I pray  that anyone reading this blog who needs healing will be healed today!  I pray in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth that all sickness and disease will leave their body now and that wholeness and the Spirit of Life will come into their body making them whole again, In the name of Jesus I pray, AMEN!”

If you experience healing today, please write to me and let me know so I can pray for you and celebrate with you in your healing.  May God bless you!

To Your Success,
Tom

Do You Believe?

4/14/2011

"If I had told you earthly things, and you don't believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?" - John 3:12

A Pharisee by the name of Nicodemus came secretly one night to see Jesus to talk to him.  He recognized there was something different about Jesus. He must have seen Jesus in the temple performing miracles. He told Jesus, "We know that you are a teacher who came from God: for no man can do these miracles that you are doing, except God is with him." - vs. 2

Jesus immediately started telling him about spiritual things. "Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."  Nicodemus was confused by what Jesus shared with him. He thought that Jesus was talking about a natural birth in verse 4 by his question to Jesus - "How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter the second time into  his mother's womb, and be born?"

That would have been a natural question that we may have asked Jesus.  Jesus went on to answer his question in verses 5 - 8.  He spoke of both natural (earthly) things and spiritual principles. Nicodemus was still confused as to what Jesus was teaching him.  He understood natural things, but was blinded about the spiritual truth that Jesus was teaching because he was not yet born again.

How many times have you been reading your Bible and the Holy Spirit spoke to you a truth in God's Word and you either didn't get it, or you decided not to believe it?  Many times in our life we have made bad decisions that cost us when we knew what the Word of God taught about it, yet ignored the instruction. Disobedience is costly.  Do you believe the Word of God? 

"According to your faith, be it unto you."  God has told us to take dominion over the earth. Jesus has given us the power over unlean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and diseases. Do you believe all of the Bible?  The only part that works for you is the part you believe. 

Jesus told his disciples, "Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing shall be impossible to you." Matthew 17:20 (NIV)
Jesus it telling us, "If you use your faith, and speak to your mountain to move, and believe, then nothing shall be impossible to you."  Someone once said, "Believe, and receive. Doubt and do without."  Do you believe?

I want to encourage everyone today to know that you are somebody!  You are somebody to God, to your family and to your friends.  Make a difference in someone's life today!  Encourage someone, comfort someone, teach someone, smile at everybody and speak blessings over yourself, your spouse and children, your family, your friends and your job.  "Bless and curse not."

Pray for others today. You may not know what is really going on in their life.  Your prayer may be the breakthrough that they need, it may be the healing of the body that they need, it may be the encouragement that they need to come out of depression, and it may even be the miracle that they were asking God for.  You can make a difference in someone's life today!

May God bless you today to make a difference in someone's life!

"The Lord bless thee, and keep thee: The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace." - Numbers 6:24-26

You have made a difference in my life today by visiting my website and then reading this blog.  I want to say thank you from my heart.  I honor you today.  May you have a blessed and prosperous day!  God loves you, and so do I!

To Your Success,
Tom
