Daytona Saturday Nights...............

Many eyes dropped to looking at the sidewalk as they looked at this sign. How true this Word is! Did Jesus died on the cross so that people could spit in His face with the lifestyle they live????????
With around 98% of the people professing to be Christians I had this sign made. There is no difference in the way a prostitute dresses and the way the women that hang out at the clubs that call themselves Christians dress. The two signs will be very effective on Friday nights and then at "Ladies Night" on Wednesday's at Razzle's.
This young man was a mess!! He tried to twist and turn the Bible to justify (just-a-lie) his sin. After Pastor Craig told him the "TRUTH" he then came to me and tried to get me to agree with him. I asked him "what version did you get that mess out of"? He said "I did not get it out of any version. I then told him that I thought he was getting it from the "book of per-version". I never did get his name but think that it may have been "John Wayne" because he told the young lady to hold his hat while he "kicked my __". He came over and got in my face started leaning against me saying that I called him a pervert. I told him that this was not the first time I had been threatened and that like everyone else he was not going to do anything either. I then told him that I did not call him a pervert but that he was perverting the Gospel in attempt to fit his sin. He ended up cussing me out and walking away. I am sure that his girlfriend will remind him of some of the things that he did and said when he comes out his intoxicated state. She was very embarrassed by his performance.
Psalms 56:5 All day long they pervert my words; all their thoughts are against me for evil.
Galatians 1:7 but some are troubling you, and desiring to pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we or an angel from Heaven preach a gospel to you beside what we preached to you, let him be accursed.
2Peter 3:16 which the unlearned and unstable pervert, as also they do the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction.
You can look at PT's face and tell how this conversation is going.
This was awesome!! Here Troy Morris stop a future bride and her matrons that were out for a bachelorette party. He starts ministering to them...................
Now the future bride takes the Bible and starts reading it out loud............
Then PT gets involved...................After more than an hour and the future groom and his friends coming up everyone went into prayer. Many lives were affected for Jesus!!!!! Deb has been building a relationship with the young man in the middle. He is one that is very nice and respectful but he has been exposed to many worldly things that have his mind twisted. Hopefully he will continue to seek the truth and get his life on track.PT ministered to this young guy that professed to be a Christian but when exposed to the Word became irritated that he could not do the things of the world and still be a Christian.
James 4:4 Do you not know that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever desires to be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
Enmity
EN'MITY, n.
1. The quality of being an enemy; the opposite of friendship; ill will; hatred; unfriendly dispositions; malevolence. It expresses more than aversion and less than malice,and differs from displeasure in denoting a fixed or rooted hatred, whereas displeasure is more transient.
2. A state of opposition.

Romans 8:5 For they who are according to the flesh mind the things of flesh, but they who are according to the Spirit the things of the Spirit. 6 For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace 7 because the carnal mind is enmity against God, for it is not subject to the Law of God, neither indeed can it be. 8 So then they who are in the flesh cannot please God.
HIGHLIGHT OF THE NIGHT..........This woman walked up to us at closing time and started telling PT how her and her husband have been saved for two years and that she had friends that came into town for the weekend. They wanted to go out and she had talked to her husband and he said that he would not compromise on his walk with the Lord. She weeped and repented for what she had done tonight. She said that before she went in she noticed the cross and felt conviction come over her. PT prays for her while she continues to weep and repent of her sin. She said that she knew her husband was also at home praying for her and look at what happened. Keep in mind, we did not go to her. She came to us and that is what made this so awesome!!Troy prays over a guy at closing time.
There are so many special things that the Lord does and shows us that makes it so worth it to go and minister His Word.
PRAISE THE LORD!!!

DAYTONA FRIDAY NIGHTS..............

It was another wild & wacky Friday night on the streets of Daytona Beach.

We used the rapper sign again just because they will get so many people to stop. Then we can talk to them about their relationship with Jesus.

As I have said before, this foul rap is ruining so many of today's youth and still have many adults messed up too!! PT ministers to a young man that had two crosses hanging from his neck but was very "of the world".

The guy on the left was brought up Catholic. He has crossed the teams path several times in the past month. He is a very nice guy with a very strong love for his family. He is mad at God because his "devout Catholic" grandmother died of cancer at 59 years old. I talked to him about that and told him that he was not to blame God. He has a number of loves that he puts before Jesus not even including his sin. The top two are his family and the Catholic religion. He said if he goes to hell, then he goes to hell but those two come first.

JESUS SAID IN Matthew 10:37 He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.

This man is in "eternal trouble" if he doesn't repent and get right with the Lord. The other guy in the picture was Episcopalian when he first walked up then he turned into Agnostic. This was the "highlight of the night"!! This young man crossed the street and walked straight up to me and the cross. I asked him "when he was going to start living his life for the Lord"? He immediately was very emotional and stirred. He said "I don't want to talk about this now" as he started to weep. He stepped back off the sidewalk and started sharing with PT how his life was a mess and that he was going to get a divorce. He spent at least 2 hours with us and PT ended up taking him home and now he will be getting with this guy and his wife for counseling. The young man is also messed up because his dad was a pastor and has since fell into the world. We thank the Lord that he has made us the "divine appointment" for people like this young man. We thank the Lord that he has put us in the right place to be able to make a difference in people's lives.Deb has been faithful in showing up on the streets.
Troy ministers to a young lady.
This is what happens at the end of the night. The squad cars get behind the people and then they herd the people like cattle away from the clubs and toward the parking lot. This is a very good time to minister to the masses.

WE WILL BE BACK OUT TOMORROW NIGHT!!

R.A.V.E.N. Daytona Beach "Produce Ministry"

Troy Morris and I got a call from Watson's Produce today and went and picked up a load to distribute. We had somewhere around 700-800 pounds of potatoes. It was awesome to go into a low income neighborhood and see the joy from people as they received a 50 lb. bag.
Bags and bags of taters!!
This fruit was cold from the cooler and with the near 100 degree heat index people were grabbing the fruit and eating it on the spot.
More potatoes!! All of this opens the door to build relationships and to be able to share the gospel with people. We have several homes in different areas where we can go into the house now. We have people that tell us that they do not have groceries. We also were able to give them green peppers, lettuce, carrots, broccoli, strawberries, mushrooms and cabbage. This was Troy's first time on the Produce Ministry and he loved it!! We thank Watson's for making this ministry possible.

Daytona Saturday Nights.....GOD MOCKERS!!!!

Jude 1:17 But you, beloved, remember the words spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ, 18 because they told you that at the last time there will be mockers according to their lusts, leading ungodly lives. 19 These are those setting themselves apart, animal-like ones, not having the Spirit.
We have not seen so many "God Mockers" as we had seen this weekend. I am amazed at the amount of people that I heard this weekend that said "F-God". People that mocked the Word of God! Homosexuals that mocked God! People that wanted to physically attack me because of the cross and what it stands for.
Mock
MOCK, v.t.
1. To deride; to laugh at; to ridicule; to treat with scorn or contempt.
2.To make sport in contempt or in jest, or to speak jestingly.
Proverbs 14:9 Fools make a mock at sin

Psalms 14:1 The fool has said in his heart, There is no God!!!!
IF THIS GENERATION IS THIS BAD WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO REPRODUCE??
The scriptures of Matthew 15:8 and Luke 6:46 were posted on the cross in attempt to penetrate the hardness of the club-goers!!

Troy was like a bulldog all night ministering to whoever passed. Here he is ministering to some females outside Razzle's.

Pastor Scott ministers to a young man.PT brings the WORD to a young man.

This young man that Troy is ministering to is named Blake. Blake was brought up Catholic with no knowledge of the Word of God. As Troy ministered to him he kept asking him to tell him more. Blake was drunk but stayed with us for a long time as we ministered the Word of God to him. Blake does not like this lifestyle and wants us to help him to get a relationship with Jesus.

I ministered to Blake for a long time also. He is so tired of the life he is living.Troy kept reading Blake the Word of God even when he was falling to sleep.

Young men and women that got out of this stretch limo mocked God. They thought they were having a real good time. They are on the road to HELL if they do not REPENT and get right with JESUS!!

PT and Kayla minister to this young "GOD MOCKER"!!

1Timothy 4:1 But the Spirit expressly says that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and teachings of demons, 2 speaking lies in hypocrisy, being seared in their own conscience

PT and Pastor Scott minister to this young man.An example of the way these females (you can't call them ladies) dress. (or don't complete dress) I guess I am confused????? Dressed up for the DEVIL!!
1Timothy 5:6 But she who lives in self-pleasure has died while living.
There were many "God Mockers" in this group at closing time this morning. Troy ministered and prayed for the two young ladies to the right and was very broken at the condition of these people's hearts.

2Timothy 3:1 Know this also, that in the last days grievous times will be at hand. 2 For men will be self-lovers, money-lovers, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 without natural affection, unyielding, false accusers, without self-control, savage, despisers of good, 4 traitors, reckless, puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God

DAYTONA FRIDAY NIGHTS..............

Pastor Troy ministers to a young man that was trying to justify his sin. He professed to be a "Christian" as he drinks his mixed drink. Troy Morris ministers in the background. What is it going to take for people to wake up and get right with Jesus? This may sound like a broken record to those of you that read this blog weekly. Most churches do not preach on repentence and the dangers of hell so they act like we are some kind of freak when we minister on it. Some of the "church folk" that we ministered to tonight were from Calvary (Ormond Beach), Holly Hill Baptist and 1st Baptist of Daytona.

I have to say one thing for those Calvary people they know one scripture real good and that is:

Matthew 7:1 Judge not, that you may not be judged.

Many will use this to try to try to get away from us telling them scripture as to why what they are doing is wrong. Not only Calvary though, many "church folk" use the same scripture. It is like that is the only scripture that they know. I did hear after e-mailing the pastor of Calvary that he did call the church out on going to the clubs. That is awesome but I am still waiting on him to accept my invite and join us for a night out there so that he can see all of his people that attend the Aqua Lounge Service on Friday & Saturday before attending his on Sundays.

As Troy and I drove home tonight we looked at all the churches that we passed. We thought what if all these churches had people on the streets ministering the uncompromised Word of God???? That would make a difference in this area big time!!! I don't look for that to happen even though it would be nice. We are suppose to be a minstry that is hot after the streets and we can not even get our people out?????? We had a total of 4 of us out there tonight and that is pitiful!! It is good though because our people do like other good "church folk" and make sure to show up for church on Sunday morning. Kudos for that!!
Deb ministers to a young man with a vulgar shirt while he was wearing a cross. Deb called him out for it and he ended up taking the shirt off. Pastor Troy ministers to a young lady that was employed by the Aqua Lounge.

This gives you an idea how many of them dress on the streets around the clubs. Many of them profess to be Christians too. They look much more like "hookers". I told one young woman tonight that she needed to give her 8 year old sister her shorts back!!

I had a guy that walked past with me with several other guys and I said to the group "when are you guys going to start living your lives for Jesus"? One of the guys immediately stopped as if he had been hit with an arrow. He rushed to me and said "hey, I am a Christian, I really am" as he struggled with his shirt to show me all of his tattoos that was real proof to him. He was very sincere with tears in his eyes. He told his friends to go ahead without him because he had to talk to me. This guy was intoxicated and I showed him what the scriptures said about his condition. I told him that if the Lord was to come back tonight that he would be in big trouble. He talked with me for a long time then thanked me for talking to Him.

Later in the night there were two lesbians walking down the street holding hands and I told them that they needed to repent of their sin and get right with Jesus. Right after I said that I heard a male voice say "you can't say that and you have no right to judge them". As I turned it was the same this same guy again. He said "I have a sister that is a lesbian and she is one of the best Christians I know". I responded to him that there is no such thing as a "Christian Lesbian" and he became enraged. He said "don't you say bad things about my sister or I'll......... He started cussing at me. I then told him what the Word of God says about homosexuality. This enraged him all that much more and he said "F the Bible" and that it was written by man (which is an excuse that many use especially the "college educated" folks). The devil actually had him denouncing God to stick up for his sister. His friends held him back as he wanted to come after me. (at least make it look that way) I told him that he needed to get his life right and truly live as a Christian and search out the scriptures so that he would know the truth and then he could share with his sister so that she would not spend eternity in hell. I really believe that this guy was so tormented by already knowing that his sister is bound for hell that in his intoxicated state he wanted to release the hurt that he feels for the sister that he loves so much. This was a very sad situation. We can not hold back from telling people what the Word of God says and we can not "sugar coat" the Word either. THERE ARE SOULS AT STAKE!!

1Corinthians 6:9 Do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor abusers, nor homosexuals, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

Revelation 21:8 But cowards, traitors, perverts, murderers, the immoral, those who practice magic, those who worship idols, and all liars---the place for them is the lake burning with fire and sulfur, which is the second death."

Jude 1:7 Likewise, Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities near them, which like them committed sexual sins and engaged in homosexual activities, serve as an example of the punishment of eternal fire.

In closing, I thank God that we have a head pastor like Pastor Troy that will lead by example. He will minister on the streets on Saturday night then get up Sunday morning and minister again. You don't get many that will do that!!

We will be back on the streets tomorrow night!!

At Least 95% Profess To Be Christians????

Our ministry is very active ministering on the streets and wherever we are at. We hear it night after night from people that are out partying in the clubs that profess to be Christians, drunks that profess to be Christians, women that dress like prostitutes that profess to be Christians, men that lust after women that profess to be Christians, foul mouthed people that profess to be Christians, people that listen to foul mouth rappers that profess to be Christians and all types of people that fit right into the world that profess to be Christians???? They party on Friday and Saturday nights then tell us that they will be in church on Sunday morning like they are doing Jesus some kind of favor. When they tell me that they are going to church I tell them “big deal”. What a joke!!! There is so much more to it and most do not get it.
James 4:4 Don't you realize that friendship with the world makes you an enemy of God? I say it again: If you want to be a friend of the world, you make yourself an enemy of God.
We ask people passing by the clubs “are you serving Jesus tonight”? A very small percentage say no and I make sure to thank them for being honest. Most that profess to be Christians are liars and are of the devil!!
JESUS SAID!!!!
John 8:43 Why can't you understand what I am saying? It's because you can't even hear Me! 44 For you are the children of your father the devil, and you love to do the evil things he does. He was a murderer from the beginning. He has always hated the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, it is consistent with his character; for he is a liar and the father of lies. 45 So when I tell the truth, you just naturally don't believe Me! 46 Which of you can truthfully accuse Me of sin? And since I am telling you the truth, why don't you believe Me? 47 Anyone who belongs to God listens gladly to the words of God. But you don't listen because you don't belong to God."
1John 3:8 He who practices sin is of the Devil, for the Devil sins from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was revealed, that He might undo the works of the Devil. 9 Everyone who has been born of God does not commit sin, because His seed remains in him, and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.10 In this the children of God are revealed, and the children of the Devil: everyone not practicing righteousness is not of God
The liars are not just the people that we find on the streets they are also many of the ones that have their butts glued to the pews on Sunday mornings. So many women that dress showing most of what they got get offended when you question their salvation (like there really is any question). I tell them that they look much more like a prostitute than a woman of God. We are not going to “tickle their ears” like most pastors do. They need to hear the truth and they will not hear it in most churches. Jesus would not have anything to do with the majority of today’s churches.What happened to the meaning of “Christian”, to be “Christ-like”?? How happened to being “followers of Christ”?? How many that profess to be Christians are “Christ-like or “followers of Christ”??
1John 2:3 And by this we know that we have known Him, if we keep His commandments. 4 He who says, I have known Him, and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5 But whoever keeps His Word, truly in this one the love of God is perfected. By this we know that we are in Him. 6 He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk even as He walked.
You have got to be kidding me “keep His Commandments”, and “walk as he walked”??? Can you imagine what the percentage of Christians would be if they were judged according to “keeping His commandments” and “walking as He walked”? Of course none of us could ever measure up to Jesus. We must strive to be as close to imitating Him as we can!! I have to examine myself daily to make sure that I am truly living my life for Jesus.
Acts 11:26 And finding him, he brought him to Antioch. And it happened to them a whole year they were assembled in the church. And they taught a considerable crowd. And the disciples were first called Christian in Antioch.
Looking at the above verse it actually says the disciples were first called Christian.What is a disciple? Disciple - A follower; an adherent to the doctrines of another. Hence the constant attendants of Christ were called his disciples; and hence all Christians are called His disciples, as they profess to learn and receive his doctrines and precepts.Look at this “a follower”, most people that profess to be “Christians” follow when it is convenient for them. Many think that all they have to do is follow on Sunday. Live like the devil 6 days a week and then get “spiritual” on Sunday. Look at the definition saying “constant attendants”??? Come on now that is asking a bit much for today’s “Charmin soft, lukewarm, cupcake so called Christian”. They would say “do you mean I have to follow Him 24/7”??? Look at bit more “all Christians are called His disciples”. That means that we should all be following His ways. The definition goes on to say “learn and receive his doctrines and precepts”. Now for today’s “so called Christian” they would be saying “you have gone too far”. We have to do all this to truly be “Christians”. Most people on the street that profess to be “Christians” can not even quote one verse from the Bible. This is very common in Catholics. I had a Catholic guy that nearly started crying this past weekend because he was ashamed of himself for not knowing the Word of God. I told him that Jesus would have gone to the cross just for him and he will not even read the Bible to see what Jesus says in it. I also told him that it was not all his fault because it is ignorance passed down from generation to generation in the Catholic Church. I am not saying that this only goes on in the Catholic Church but we run across more Catholics than anything else that do not know the Word of God.This is why so many that profess to be Christians are actually “wide gators” and there will be so few “narrow gators”. Wide gators will spend eternity burning in hell!!! Narrow gators must strive to “walk as He walked”. That is the only way that anyone will spend eternity in heaven.
JESUS SAID!!!!
Matthew 7:13 Go in through the narrow gate, for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many there are who go in through it. 14 Because narrow is the gate and constricted is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.
1Peter 4:17 For the time has come for the judgment to begin from the house of God.And if it first begins from us, what will be the end of those disobeying the gospel of God? 18 And if the righteous one is scarcely saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
Many so called pastors will stand before the Lord with blood on their hands for the way that they have failed to teach the truth of the Word of God.
Ezekiel 33:8 When I say to the wicked, O wicked one, you shall surely die; if you do not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked one shall die in his iniquity; but I will require his blood at your hand. 9 But, if you warn the wicked of his way, to turn from it; if he does not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity, but you have delivered your soul.
Many people are in trouble because they have been too lazy and ignorant to search the scriptures for the truth. They follow what their parents have told them and fail to seek out their own salvation with fear and trembling.(Phil 2:12)
Acts 17:11 And these were more noble than those of Thessalonica, in that they received the Word with all readiness of mind and searched the Scriptures daily to see if those things were so.
There are so many “meatheads” out there today that call themselves “Pastors” that are much more concerned about what is going into the offering plate than what they are putting into peoples heads. People best wake up and start searching the scriptures to make sure that they are in right standing with the Lord. We must strive to reach the lost for Jesus but the sad thing is that “few will enter through the narrow gate”.
JESUS SAID!!!!
Mark 16:15 And He said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

Daytona Saturday Nights...............

It was a wild time on the streets tonight. As you can tell on the sign "free drinks 8-10 then 2 for 1 after that. This creates police and ambulance presence. People get arrested and one woman had to be checked out by medics as she staggered out of the club. The bottom line is that it is the devil at work. PEOPLE LOVE THEIR SIN MORE THAN THEY LOVE JESUS!!!This young man is arrested by the Daytona Police.This man, the son of a pastor came up to us being very belligerent and started mocking God while talking with William and I. He was intoxicated and was determined to tell us how he was right and knew it all and that we were wrong. After around 45 minutes he ended up weeping on Pastor Troy's shoulder as he was prayed for. He asked Pastor Troy to stay in touch with him so that he could get back on track with Jesus!!Jimmy (upper left) was a friend of Vinny (above). Jimmy is a Roman Catholic and believed that he would get to heaven off of good works. Jimmy was very respectful which is something that we don't see with most Catholics. Jimmy was also like most Catholics with very little knowledge of the Bible. We talked for around a half hour with Jimmy arguing at times but also being able to see where he is falling short of a true relationship with Jesus. Jimmy is a firefighter and I stressed to him that with a dangerous job like he has that he needs to know without a doubt that he has a true relationship with Jesus. Jimmy is very twisted in his thinking because of what he has been taught in the Catholic church. Jimmy was very thankful to me for talking with him. He has my contact information and says that he will contact me to talk more in the future.
William Taylor ministers to a young man that said that he was the designated driver and did not want to be inside the club. William warned him that he was in danger of eternal hell if he did not get his life lined up with Jesus.William has a congregation of young Muslems that were much like most that call themselves Christians, they knew very little of their Koran and what it said. Again, much like the so called Christians that do not know the Bible. William asked them if Jesus was a true prophet, they answered yes. He asked them two more times to make sure that they believed Jesus to be a TRUE PROPHET. He then said, "then Jesus said you must be born again", are you born again? That threw them off and they said they would have to think about that. The good thing was that they probably listened to the Word of God being preached for around an hour.
Troy Morris ministers to a man.
This guy was very drunk and arrogant as he talked with Pastor Troy and I. He was one of many "Roman Catholics" that we run across during the night. It looked like he ran into someone's fist with his nose during the night. The devil has to get great joy by having so many in the Catholic church deceived and on their way to hell!! It is not just the Catholic church though, it goes for most churches. The truth and repentence is not taught and for that reason eternity will be HELL for the majority.
This cab driver came over to Kayla and I asking what the scripture on the cross ment. He was very respectful and thanked us for being out doing what we were doing.
Pastor Scott ministers to a young guy.
Many have to pass by the CROSS!! Another drunk belligerent "Catholic" know it all.
Destiny and Kayla minister to some young guys.
We had a great weekend ministering on the streets of Daytona Beach. More than 95% of these people profess to be Christians. What a disgrace!! Again, this is a result of churches not warning people of eternal hell, not preaching on repentence and the bottom line, NOT PREACHING THE TRUTH OF THE WORD OF GOD!! It is time for people to wake up!!!


Mark 16:15 JESUS SAID, "GO INTO ALL THE WORLD AND PREACH THE GOSPEL TO ALL CREATION".

Why aren't most that profess to be of Christ GOING? This is not an invitation, IT IS A COMMAND!!
