Shekinah Creek Nigerian Dwarf Goats

The Lord has put it on my heart for several weeks and perhaps months to create a mission and vision page of my website.

Family Builder

My desire is to see my family pulled together by learning the basics in life on the farm.  Sarah and Elijah have already milked goats.  Sarah is my daily milker.  She is every dads dream helper.  Elijah just turned 3 but loves the outdoors.  Isaiah is my child who wants to be a preacher.  I am incorporating him into feeding some of my goats.  Right now Isaiah would rather be acting like a superhero than do work.  My children have to learn a work ethic.  I don't want them to become couch potatoes and not know how to work.  

About our Goats:

It is my desire to continue to strive for great goats in my herd.  I want to maintain strong dairy traits with show potential.  I believe I have the foundation of animals to accomplish this goal.

About mini australian shepherds:

We have one pair of dogs.  One is Sarah's and one is Isaiah's.  We are using the funds to help provide for their education at Victory Life Academy an excellent Christian school.

Why do I have a goat farm? 

It takes up a lot of time and monies.  My belief is that the Lord wants me to raise the next generation of Christian warriors in His Kingdom.  The profits from our adventure is to go back into our farm and to provide an Christian education for our three children Sarah "8", Isaiah "5" and Elijah "3".  Victory Life is the school the Lord has led us to.  This school adds to what we  are building  in our children.     

Our Farm.

We have old english game bantams for sale.  We will have miniature australian shepherds next year.  I am continually asking the Lord for witty ideas and inventions to enable me to accomplish the desires of my heart for my family.  I am planting seeds and working alone side of the Lord "and family" to see how the Lord is going to bless this adventure.  You have to have a seed in the ground before the Lord can do anything with your prayers.  He blesses the work of our hands.

The most important thing in this life?

 Love God and love people.  We were created for relationship.  Without love it profits you nothing.

I am a born again Southern Baptistwho finds himself in a full gospel church.  I would have never believed that I would be speaking in tongues and watching God work in the supernatural. This is the part of Jesus promise of greater things than these you will do.  We are suppose to be doing greater things than our Lord.  He commanded us to heal the sick and raise the dead.  My children are learning to lay hands on their brother, sister, mom or dad and believe in the supernatural.  It has been a blessing watching the Holy Spirit show up in the health of our family.  I am blessing when my little kids want to lay hands on me and pray.  I am coming to expect watching God provide in the supernatural.  This past several years have been the most healthy we have ever had.  I was taught these things died and went away with the last apostles.  How can this be?  This past couple of years of spending thousands of hours in the word, prayer and listening to wonderful preaching I have come to the understanding that God loves me and really does want to bless me.  So we can be a blessing to others.  My children are the next generation of the hands of Christ.  God works through people.  Our country need children who believe God is real.  Most kids know about God but don't know Him.  The bible describes eternal life as knowing God in the book of John.  I was under the impression eternal life was the ticket to heaven.  Boy was I wrong.  Knowing God and praising Him for His goodness, grace and mercy has changed my life.  The sooner I instill this into my children the sooner they can walk in the power of Jesus.

Never, Never, Ever Give up.

8/31/11.  I have found that our adversary is real.  1st Peter 5:8,9 "be sober, be vigilant: because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.  Resist him "don't give in fight back" knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world".  I have found that the closer you press in with our walk with Jesus the more the enemy sees us.  This past 2 plus years have been the most trying of my Christian life.  Why are things happening around me?  Where are the blessings?  Why does the enemy try to destroy Christian marriages?  Why does the bible say "above all us guard your heart"?  I believe it is because the enemy knows what Jesus has done for us and he doesn't want us to know it.  Yes Jesus has given us salvation and a ticket to heaven John 3:16, but that is not the reason He saved you.  John 17:3 says that eternal life is knowing God.  He was to know us on a heart level.  We were all created to know God.

 Satan's goal is to get us to shift the blame unto the Lord.  We have the shield of faith right?  If we are in a war, which we are, make sure you have all the armor.  The Lord showed me the other day that you need to have the word of God in your heart, which is the sword of the Spirit.  We triump over the enemy the same way Jesus did by knowing the word of God.  Speak it out of your mouth during trials.  Remember life and death is in the power of the tongue and you will eat the fruit of it.  Make sure you are speaking life over your life and those you meet because speaking death is an open door for the enemy to attack.  Always walk in forgiveness.  Lack of forgiveness opens all kinds of doors to the enemy.  The bible says that when we don't forgive God turns us over to the tormentors.  Can you guess who that is? Demons who have a legal right sent from God to torment us.  The majority of Christians I meet still have unforgiveness in their hearts and thus being tormented in their minds and bodies.

Where is God sending me now.  I am being led into the Deliverance Ministry.  I am heart broken about all the sick and dying people in the world and in the CHURCH.  I can't watch another brother or sister go down believing God is causing this illness.  John 10:10 "the thief does not come except to steal, and to kill and to destroy.  I have come that they may have life and that they may have it more abundantly.  Satan is the author of death and who is causing all these problems.  In John 14:12 we are told "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also, and greater works than these he will do, because I go to the father."  He is talking about Christians.  Are we doing the works of Jesus?  He has given us the ability to do the same things and greater works than Jesus.  Luke 10:19, 20 says "behold, I give you authority to trample on serpeants, and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy and nothing shall by any means hurt you."  We have been given power and authority over the enemy and they can't hurt us.  No greater time in creation have we seen the enemy appearing to triump over the church.  Christians we are in a epic battle.  Jesus is calling on saints to take up their swords and understand their authority and God's power in us.  Let's fight for our families and those around us.  NEVER, NEVER EVER GIVE UP.

Please saints keep my family and myself in your prayers.  I am stepping through doors that I didn't chose to go through.  God is taken me through because that is what He created me to do.
