What To Do First to Make a Profit

The PF Women Team at our Annual Team Retreat  ~ 2018 Today on Seth Godin's blog, he said: It's tempting to decide to make a profit first, then invest in training, people, facilities, promotion, customer service and most of all, doing important work. In general, though, it goes the other way. Yes, it does. If you are waiting to make a profit before you do these things, in my experience you're  not going to make a profit. So many organizations, ministries and churches are struggling with financial issues. I know your pain. As anyone who follows our story knows, our ministry was in a ton of debt four years ago when I came on as director.  Since that time, we've gotten out of debt and turned a profit every year.  God has done amazing things through out team, for which we give Him the glory! I find that what Seth is saying here is absolutely true, with one disclaimer. For Christian leaders, spiritual disciplines must always be first. Before we started inve

God wrecked 'em! Go God, go!

I love scaring the devil out of his stupid mind!!!

He's furious right now at what happened in some women's lives last night.  There's nothing like women, forever changed and transformed and filled with the power of God -- ready to change the world!  

We still have one last session this morning...I'm getting ready to lead in one last session which will be a communion service,  and there's not a lot of time for me to blog, and besides all that I'm running on five hours sleep.  :)  But, I feel so energized by the spirit of God.  I'm not even on what I call my "holy ghost hangover" yet.  I'm still high.   We're leaving here with EVERY SINGLE WOMAN FILLED, OR RE-FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST!!!  Many were already actively utilizing this precious gift in their daily lives, and are simply leaving refreshed and recharged, but others are ignited with fresh fire and some with that fire for the first time in their lives.

Last night I spoke to them about living a life continually filled with the spirit of God, flowing in the gifts God has given us, and calling upon this power DAILY to help us and empower in every single area of our lives.  Also utilizing it for it's most intended purpose -- (not just our edification but to be HIS WITNESSES to the uttermost parts of the earth.)  Many people can sit in a Pentecostal church all their lives and never really be pentecostals.  (You can sit in Burger King all day...it won't make you a whopper...)  As long as my husband and I are pastoring Celebration I can guarantee it will be a thorougly Pentecostal church with the gifts of the spirit in operation and opportunities for people to receive the Holy Ghost and flow in ALL of the gifts.  I'll be pentecostal not just on paper (a doctrinal statement) but in lifestyle and practice til' my last breath (and then I'll pick up where I left off once I get to heaven...lol...but it's up to the people to step up and receive ALL God has for them.  And you know you can just attend but never truly take hold of all that God has available for you.  Well last night these women TOOK HOLD!!!   God wrecked 'em, and they just allowed Him to be God here in this house and do what He wanted to do. 

Pursuing life in the spirit is not an option in CC Life Coaching...it's what they sign up for and they know it when they become a part.  Last night the power of God came into this place with a great demontration os His power and I know it's just the beginning.  Some people's families are going to wonder what in the world happened to them when they come home...absolutely high as a kite...forever ruined for the ordinary by the spirit of the God!

Some people will never understand this...

And that's okay. Just let us be as we lavish love upon the fur-kids of the world. It doesn't mean we don't care about people. We do care. In fact most of the people I know who are great pet lovers are also the greatest philanthropists. If you're not a dog lover, you might not understand the overwhelming intensity that many of us felt about Tank's reunion this past week. You might think we've lost our marbles. That's okay, we think you've lost your heart. ;)  Before I go on with this post, let me say that we were delighted that CBS 10 posted the video and article about Tank and his Celebration Church reunion yesterday. Click here to watch it. (But then come back!) If you haven't realized it, there is a revolution in America about dogs. Dogs have always been loved and known as the most loyal companions ~ "man's best friend". But things have gone way beyond this. Dogs aren't just dogs or friends anymore. They are family me

Fifty Shades of No Way

This weekend, the Fifty Shades of Grey movie will be released and millions of women are expected to flock to the theat er s.  I will not be one of those women.   As a leader of women , some have asked me about this movie. The following is my thoughtful response. Fifty Shades of Grey has topped best-seller lists around the world. The book series has sold over 100 million copies worldwide, and been translated into 52 languages. It set the record as the fastest-selling paperback of all time.   Is Fifty Shades of Grey just a harmless book or movie? Although n o one seems to be debating this fact, let’s first establish that it’s pornography.  And not just porn, but a genre that is even more dangerous for women. The book glorifies a female character that is controlled and abused by her partner.   Who is excited about this book and mov ie? Hmmmm….you might be surprised. Many women and girls in our churches have read it. Sadly, I am even aware of

Relevant Church doing something...

incredibly RELEVANT!

I just heard some news today that really inspired me. A church here in Tampa, Relevant Church is doing a new thing this month called the "30 Days Sex Challenge." (I've never visited the church but Pastor Trinity - our children's pastor - has visited or has met some people from this church and he was very impressed.) Realizing that this is a major element missing from some marriages (the frequency factor) their lead pastor, Paul Wirth, has issued a challenge for all the married couples to have sex for 30 days in a row. At the same time he has issued a challenge for all unmarrieds to completely abstain from sex. Of course we know the Bible says that those who are unmarried should not have sex in the first place but the point is, a lot of unmarried's aren't obeying the Lord's command to abstain and this is just one pastor's way of trying to get them to see that indeed, there is a better way! (God's way!) At the same time, many married couples are not
