"Labor Increases"

"Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase."(Proverbs 13:11)

Unfortunately, Charity to the wrong people enables the cycle of need. A lot of people in America have learned how to "work the system" to their benefit, the small business owner and the workforce is being worked by the "system" to support those that "work the system". Our forefathers would roll over in their graves if they knew we had become what they died to build. Please don't forget that we still have men and women dying for our country to protect our American Philosophy of Life.

"For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat."(2 Thessalonians 3:10)

"Women which Labored"

"And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellowlabourers, whose names are in the book of life."(Philippians 4:3)

"A woman's work is never done". Truer words have never been spoken!! Where would the church be today without the power, determination and dedication of women? Since I have been preaching for 31 years, I can tell you where the church would be, way behind on its purpose and pretty empty on Sunday mornings. Our nursery ministry would be almost non existent, Sunday school would suffer a devastating blow and if you think about it, JESUS was born of a WOMAN!! Ladies, I salute you today for laboring in the Gospel ministry because it would not function to its fullest capacity without you. Our Media Ministry Director is a women that's labors in the social media world to enable our sermon videos to be watched all over the world as well as our devotional ministry. We get emails from all over the world from people that watch the sermons and comments on the devotions. She doesn't just post on FB but Twitter and other blog spots in the social media world. The potential reach is endless!! I thank you for watching the sermons and reading the devotions. A couple weeks ago I had a nice lady ask me if she could do anything to help with our ministry. In her email she shared that she didn't have any money to help support the ministry but she would love to do something for God in association with our ministry. I responded to her by making her aware that God would bless her desire to serve. I told her that she could sit at her computer and by sharing our ministry devotions, videos, etc...with her friends, she could change the world. It is a very subtle way to comfortably share the Gospel with the people that need to be saved, healed, encouraged, etc.. If you would like to join the ministry team just share our ministry each time we post something new, ask your friends to like our ministry FB page and ask them to put our app on their phones. Our FB page is, "Scott Boatner Ministries International". God is using our many ministry arms that flow from God's House/America to change our local community and many countries in the world. Our biggest influence outside the United States is in India where we have 35 Preachers/Pastors/Evangelist that are enabled by the God's House Church Family to preach, teach, feed the hungry, clothe the naked, etc... We praise God for every person that is involved in these life changing ministries. May God Bless each of you, male and female. (Links to smart phone app below). We need your prayer covering more than anything because the Spirit of God is using us in some very dark places. Thank You!!

"No Condemnation"

"There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit."(Romans 8:1)

"No Condemnation". If you are "in Christ" then you are a child of God, saved to the bone, washed in the Blood and sealed by the Holy Spirit!!
"In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,"(Ephesians 1:13) If you have believed the word of truth then you are a recipient of Salvation and Sealed by the Spirit!!! Bro Scott, what do I do when I fail God? First let me tell you what most people do, they condemn themselves, hate on themselves, beat themselves to a pulp until they are so distracted with a past failure that they can't focus on God's purpose for their lives and the devil has won! Does God's Word instruct you to do all that foolishness to yourself, to self-inflict punishment upon yourself for your sin? Jesus was punished for your sin so you are instructed in the Bible to REPENT OF YOUR SINS, not replay them over and over until your batteries run down in your mind. "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to FORGIVE us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."(1 John 1:8-9). If you feel like a failure today, get up on your feet, dust yourself off and believe that you are a child of the King with a purpose!!
God has great plans for all of us so lets not let self-condemnation take the joy out of serving God. If you sin, I promise you that the Holy Ghost will let you know in a very clear voice so you will not be in the dark but be able to repent with understanding so you can move on with your life in Jesus!!

The Eighth Month, the birth month of my wife and two sons.

"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."(2 Corinthians 5:17)

If you study the Bible from cover to cover several times you will begin to notice that God puts emphasis on certain numbers. For instance 5 is the number of grace, 6 is the number of man, 7 is God's number for perfection and 8 is the number of new beginnings. August is the 8th month and 8 being the number of new beginnings is so true in our lives. Kari and I were married on Saturday the 15th of August 1981.The electricity went off that day about 20 minutes prior to the service. It got so hot that the wedding flowers begin to wilt and the candles started to lean over due to extreme heat in the church. We got ready to leave on our honeymoon and her new mustang wouldn't crank so we went on our honey moon in my brothers hunting/fishing long wheel base ford truck with a camper shell on back to boot. The saying, "Born in the Fire and can't stand the smoke" is very fitting for our beginning. Eight days after our first wedding anniversary on the 23rd of August 1982 Matthew was born and at his first church service, September the 9th, I surrendered to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Then 5 years later on August 17th, 1987 Micah was born and Kari's birthday is today, August 26th. Happy Birthday, Kari, I love you more each day!! May your birthday be filled with many blessings and may the cycle of new beginnings that God started in 1981 continue this month. It is our month of new blessings and as your husband I speak blessings to you on your birthday!!

And the enemies flee;

The Lord shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways. Deuteronomy 28:7

They may come, but they can't stay!!! The Lord will smite all our enemies before our face. When the devil comes against you, he better be looking for a way out because he has got to go. We are MORE than conquerors in Christ Jesus. (Romans 8:37) In other words, we are not going to just win, but we are taking the game ball home. Game over! The wicked will fall and the Righteous shall Rise. It's time we start acting like winners instead of losers, victors instead of VICTIMS. Memorize the verse of the day and gain some confidence about your life. You get confidence by knowing that God is on your side. "If God be for us, who can be against us" (Romans 8:31) Read the prophetic scriptures and compare today's headlines, the Bible is being fulfilled before our eyes. All the nations of the earth are ramping up their military not even knowing that they are getting ready to march to Jerusalem. After the Blood Washed Church of Jesus Christ is caught away to meet Him in the air, this momentous move by Jesus will mark the onset of the 7 year tribulation. At the end of that time period, the armies of the East, North and South will start marching to a valley where they will meet the King of Kings. Jesus Christ will meet them there as He steps down on the Mount from which He ascended. We will be with Him riding white horses and our Savior will set up His kingdom for a thousand years. All of our enemies shall be smitten before our face and a table shall be prepared for us. (PS 23:5) Jesus is not only a Warrior in our future but our Warrior for today. He lives in us today and will win every battle we face. Believe it, it's a done deal!!!! "In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:"(Ephesians 1:11)

A Statement of Vision and Purpose!!

"Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations."(Jeremiah 1:5)
"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end."(Jeremiah 29:11)

Let this be your declaration today!
Father God of Heaven and Earth! By Faith I believe that you have called me according to your divine purpose. I believe that, before I was conceived, I had a planned purpose in Your kingdom that must be fulfilled. As Jesus prayed two thousand years ago, "Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven."(Matthew 6:10) I believe that today is the day for which I was born, there is a rumbling in the heavens and a breath from God in the earth! I, the called of God, will change the world by the power of the Holy Spirit in the Name of Jesus Christ. It was spoken by Christ Himself that I would do "greater works" in the earth. (Jn 14:12) The true Church is hearing the sound of rain in the land and I am thirsty for all of YOU, God! I am not interested in religion but a movement of God such as the world has never seen. I will be a part of the latter rain in the last days harvest of mankind. I will be provided the resources to help fund this movement in all nations. All nations will see Your glory and know that You are God!
"And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it."(Isaiah 40:5)
God, You have promised manifested power for this time and I will be in the midst of the outpouring of Your Glory. Let it begin today, remove all hindrances that are blocking my path, let them be ground to powder at this very moment. I declare this in THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS CHRIST, AMEN!! "They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto the LORD, but he answered them not. Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets."(Psalm 18:41-42)

"Honour to whom Honour is due"

"Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour."
(Romans 13:7)

The pictures we posted yesterday were pictures of children that live in mud huts along the river in the south eastern jungles of India. After spending several days in the jungle with our lead Pastor I gave him permission to follow his spirit as to the use of any money we send him. You may ask how I could feel comfortable giving him that kind of freedom. I've sat where he sits, ate what little he eats, slept where he sleeps, preached where he preaches and walked in his shoes for several days, believe me, the sacrifice they make for Jesus Christ is beyond human comprehension. The people that live in the mud/thatch huts by the river lose everything they can't carry in their hands once a year during the rainy season when their homes are washed away. I know you are wondering why they build the mud huts back every year. It's the only place they have to call their own. It's not really theirs but since it has no value or use of any kind due to the rainy season, they get to live there except during the rainy season at which time they are displaced or wandering homeless, hungry and hopeless with nothing but the clothes on their back. Now I ask you, WWJD? We wear shirts, jewelry, etc with that acronym on it but how often do we give the only money we have to those that have less than nothing. Most of our pastors have some type of housing. Let me explain housing in this part of India. If you are blessed enough to have a home, it has no water, no refrigerator, no stove, no a/c, just a single light bulb dangling from the ceiling but you can go outside, pump some water in a bucket and take a bath if its not during the drought, at which time the well has no water. Your home there would be about 20 feet by 20 feet with four generations living under one roof sleeping on the floor. Since its not a Christian nation, preaching the Gospel is not exactly the safest thing you can do. According to the "Voice of the Martyrs" web site 171,000 Christians per year are brutally murdered in the world because they call Jesus Christ, Lord and Savior. The area in which we minister, the area in which these pictures were taken, is called a "hotspot". A hotspot is a geographical location where people are killed for believing in Jesus Christ. Please go to "Voice of the Martyrs" website and search India, you will need to be emotionally prepared for what you are going to read. As I stated earlier, I have been there, moved from safe house to safe house, walking through the jungle in the dark for safety, you have no idea how you need to pray for these amazing Heroes of Faith!!I. If you will go to my ministry Facebook page, Scott Boatner Ministries International, you will see a pic of me in dark shades with a thatch hut behind me. In this picture I was staring down a group of very unfriendly non-Christian people that were not thrilled by our baptismal service. (People have asked me about my solemn expression in this photo, thats my "Intimidate the enemy face") The hut behind me is a hut that is now washed away by the floods. When God's House wired money to the Pastors in India last week we sent them extra for their children's school supplies but once they received their money all the Pastoral families voted unanimously to buy food and clothes for the river children. It's amazing how people who have nothing, gives what has been given to them, to those who have less than nothing!! I'm blown away by my faith heroes in India. To the 35 Pastors in India that I personally ordained to preach the Gospel, I honor you! You are once again shining lights in a dark world. But Bro Scott, what are you going to do about the Pastors children's school supplies that are under your watch care? We will send them some more money, God will provide!!!

"My Sin"

What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Oh! precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

For my pardon, this I see,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
For my cleansing this my plea,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Nothing can for sin atone,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
Naught of good that I have done,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

This is all my hope and peace,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
This is all my righteousness,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Now by this I'll overcome—
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
Now by this I'll reach my home—
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Glory! Glory! This I sing—
Nothing but the blood of Jesus,
All my praise for this I bring—
Nothing but the blood of Jesus. Robert Lowry 1876

"A Prophetic Word to the Body of Christ"

This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah.(Psalm 24:6)

"The Psalm 24 Generation" As God Almighty looks upon us, because of our religious upbringings, we assume he's looking at our church buildings, our church clothes or maybe listening to our church lingo and that He is so impressed by our "churchy ways" that He's going to give all of us the blue ribbon. He is urging us to look at ourselves, too look within, to look at our present location and where we are headed as a nation of people. He desires that we pray, "Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as I is in heaven". How often do we pray those exact words as commanded by Jesus Christ Himself? The prophetic looks to the future, so please join me in the Spirit for a moment, what do you see? Where will we be in ten years? The choices you make today, while your child is 8, will have an extreme impact on your child over the next ten years of life's journey because they will be 18 in 10 years. Who will thy vote for in our government elections? What will those elected officials believe concerning righteousness and where will our choices today ultimately propel us in just 10 short years? I ask you, "Do you want to see God"? "Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation."(Psalm 24:3-5) Are we ascending up the holy mountain of God or are we declining into moral decay while sitting on church pews in a building that is clean swept but empty? Are we hoping that our dramatic tears will soothe our rotten lifestyles as we attend one our traditional gatherings we call church? Is God's Spirit touching us deep within by His Word or do we just like the emotion that is brought forth by our favorite song ? We must desire to be the GENERATION THAT SEES GOD do things that will reshape our lives forever not just an emotional moment that is fleeting. "Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in." (Psalm 24:7-9)
Our Heavenly Father, Let us see what you see, let us feel what you feel, let us know what you know and most of all, "Be the KING OF GLORY and COME IN", into our days, nights, hours and moments of time that we may know you in all of your power, glory and honor forever, AMEN!!

My grandsons, like all young children, love cartoons and we have some at our house that they watch repeatedly. I have no idea what the name of this one is nor what it's about but I heard an elder in the village tell a young man, "Trees fall the way they lean, be careful which way you lean"!

"Overcoming the Guilt of not Trusting"

Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. Ephesians 6:11

We are in a war!!! Good vs evil, Light vs darkness, God vs satan... From time to time, we feel like we are in a battle for our lives. It seems like no matter what you do, there will be attacks that we don't see coming. Being in the ministry, I feel like I go from one battle to another..... It's tiring.... I was sharing my heart with The Lord that I was trying to trust Him BUT I was struggling to find that "Trust in Him" I needed. I beat myself up with guilt because I felt the guilt of not trusting. Jesus sweetly spoke to me" Scott, your not doubting, just tired ". When I hear a word in my Spirit, I always go to the scriptures to find it there to validate it.
Follow this with Paul and young Pastor, Timothy.
Paul references Timothy's stomach issues in 1 Tim 5:23, his fear in 2 Tim 1:7' then assures Timothy in 2 Tim 2:13 that even when we are not "all that"' God is always " ALL THAT"!!!!! Paul was about to be martyred, Timothy was sick, anxious and tired. Don't beat yourself up today for not having it all together, you may just be tired. Today is the first day of the rest of my life and I've figured out that I'm not going to always have it all together so I'll do my best to lean on Jesus. I suggest you do the same.

How lonely are you today? How far will you go to have some form of a relationship? How dark is your house at night sitting there all alone? How do you feel in a room full of happily married or people that are couples? God gives answers to desperate people;

We need leadership that will nurture us, lead us, stand for us as a Father would instead of burdening us down with more HOPELESSNESS, FEAR AND NEGATIVITY, trust me, we have plenty of that junk!! Our pulpits are filled with a Religious Version of the latest braking negative news story. Our only Hope is the Word of God,(Ps 107:20), it needs to be presented from the White House to the Church House!!!! Forgive me for my worldly analogy, but we need to get back to the BASICS of LIFE. (Waylon &Willie) May the Spirit of The Heavenly Father be upon all of us so we can begin to nurture one another back to health, peace and blessing. Let's change the direction of our Familys, Churches and Nation, one house at a time, by starting at our own doorstep. If we start today, I wonder how far along we will be in one year, I will if you will.....

I Believe,

"Work with your own hands"

"Work with your own hands"

"And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you; That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing."(1 Thessalonians 4:11-12)

"work with your hands". The work ethic is something that is very important for you to practice and pass on to your children. I am aware that there are a lot of hard working people in our country that have helped make it great. But I'm also aware that there is a certain group of people that have figured out how to mis-use the system and get the Government to pay them for not working when they are actually able to do so. When you take from those that work (taxes) and give to those that won't work, when they are able to work; Houston, We have a problem! As a matter of fact, Apostle Paul said if you don't work, you don't eat. "For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat."(2 Thessalonians 3:10). God will bless you if you get a job and make your money by working with your hands. "Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase."(Proverbs 13:11)
If you goof off at work on your boss's time then you are stealing his money. You may say, Bro Scott, he doesn't pay me what I'm worth, well get you a job that pays you what you are worth but until then, quit stealing money from your present place of employment. If they are good enough to give you a job then be good enough to give them an honest day's work. If you are at a low paying job then be faithful and I promise that God will honor you by giving you a better job. My work philosophy has always been that some money was better than no money. Have you ever thought that your skill sets may not be as valuable as you think? Has it ever occurred to you that your attitude of " I'm invaluable" keeps you from finding the job that suits you. I know a lot of you think that all business owners are rich and can afford to pay you double wages. That may be true in some cases, but I promise you that all business owners are not rich, some are barely keeping their doors open. In order to get this country back on track we must start with the foundational mentality of get a job, go to work faithfully, tithe your payday and Trust God to Bless your efforts. As an American Citizen, I plead with you to do whatever job you have with a good attitude and we will see God start to turn our country around. The backbone of any economy is it's work force, join the team today. "In all labour there is profit;" (Proverbs 14:23)
