“ GOD THE ORIGINAL FASHION DESIGNER”

Take a Roll of Fabric, there is allot of potential , many possibilities. God looked at the sum total of all you could be and designed a life just for you. You are not a completed design yet. Most of you have decisions to make that will determine your Fashion Statement. If you are to be completed you have to turn your life over to God! Let yourself be Fashioned by the Original Fashion Designer. Then the process will begin. The cutting away of everything that does not resemble the Piece he wants you to be!
“ Not all Fabrics can be used to make all things, Specific Fabrics are used to make Specific Designs. You would not use Denim to make a Glamorous Evening Gown, Denim just would not be Elegant enough..”
Each one of us have been pre-fashioned with certain attributes that determine our final garment. God takes what he originally gave us and mingles his word with it! He threads himself through us with embellishments to make us more beautiful and with Promises to make us more Strong and Durable. “ A weak fabric is not worth any thing except to be used as Cleaning Rags.
Some Fashion Pieces are Multi Purpose, We call those pieces in a wardrobe “Classics”. “ Classics can be used for multiple purposes.
Some of you will be used for multiple purposes and even are now. “ Classics survive through all the Fashion Trends, Classics are Unchangeable, they go through a color change but the design and the cut of the fabric makes them always relevant..
What Fashion Statement are you making?
Man makes assumptions about who you are based on what they see, the clothes you wear speak before you get to open you mouth.
“ Who are you saying is your Fashion Designer?
Are you Camouflaged?
Are you ashamed of the Name of the Designer you wear? Are dressing up in Hip-Hop and you are really a Classic? Are you dressed in Street Corner Attire and you are really a Queen in the Throne Room? Take you Camouflage off and be proud of who created you!
Do you want to wear a finished Garment without holes made by a designer who is the best in his field and does not make any mistakes! It’s up to you, when you passed the age of thirteen you went from innocent to accountable. You can will to do right, or will to do wrong. God wants to finish what he began. He needs your permission. All you have to do is say “Yes”. You will go through a cutting and a sewing phase and it will be hard and painful to endure but when he is finished you will have threads of Gold running through you and you will become a Original Hand Made One of Kind Fashion Masterpiece!
On the other hand if you choose not to be completed by the Original you will be completed by an imposter, a Poser! The Poser & Counterfeiter will try his best to make you look like the Real Deal, you may even be able to fool the best Fashion Critic. When your Garment is put to the test it will not last. Counterfeit designers us cheaper materials that are not durable. They will not last under stress. Cheap fabrics are more porous so stains will not come out, its harder to get wrinkles out and over time wont fit or hold their shape. Some stains will not come out even if sent to the Dry Cleaners. Dry Cleaners use chemicals to remove stains and apply heat to remove wrinkles. The Bible says that Christians Created by the Original Fashion Designer when their faith is tried and pressed by heat they will come out as Gold with out spot or wrinkle. A Counterfeit, Poser or Nock off Designer is nothing more than a thief, someone who has stolen an original and has made a cheap copy!
Are you willing to pay the cost to be an Original! To be made by the best and with the best Fabric?

What SALT Means To ME




I first joined SALT a couple of years ago, Cherie and I were brought togehter at Evengel Temple AOG in Jacksonville. We hit it off right away. I must say God has taken us through many things together, I think the most interesting was our time spent on the TBN set. SALT has meant many things to me through the years but most recently it was but into perspective for me, it has become a place of building freindships, a place of healing, a place of sharing and a place of belonging. At the end of the Summer God gave me the task of taking the Jacksonville, SALT as its area director. This has been a challenge, one that I have not always felt worthy of but God reminded me that I had been Called, Apointed and Annointed. God also reminded I could do all thing through him, because He is my Stregenth. The team is awaiting see what God will do with this year as we willingly serve.
