I’m still praising God for our glorious convention earlier this month. So many doors have opened for my family that there isn’t enough time to tell it all. Without going into much detail I will say this – if you’re willing to work and live right, God will step into your situation. Now I’m not saying that if you’re not living right that God can’t or won’t bless you – God is a merciful God. However, I’ve found it best to do everything within my power first. Doing so tells God that’s I’m serious about my dreams and visions.

I’m encouraging everything member of the Universal Hagar’s Spiritual Church to purchase a DVD set of this, whether you were there or not. I even invite nonmembers to do the same. Starting with our young people on up to our leader, the messages delivered were insight, thought provoking, soul stirring, and unforgettable. May God bless you all!

Jesus declared in Luke 21:36, “Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.”

We cannot afford to sit around and let life beat up on us. We have to proactive in our spiritual walk. Watching and praying puts us in the proper mindset. A developed mind is rarely surprised by any life event, positive or negative. The thinking person is always prepared for the unexpected for they expect life to throw curve balls regularly. Before we breakdown the definition of storm, I want this burned into your memories – The best way to survive a storm is to recognize it before it hits. So it is in the natural, so it is in the spiritual.

Your obedient servant

The first indication of a storm of life is a disturbance in the positive flow of things. When this warning sign appears stop and pray. Jesus instructed us to watch and pray. Matthew (26:41) reported it as, “Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” Mark (14:38) reported it as, “Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak.” Prayer causes us to pause and take a second look at our environment. That second look gives us another chance to not enter into temptation. Temptation, here, is anything tempting us to go against the will and word of God.

Jesus offers us two other pearls of wisdom on this front. In Mark 13:33 he said, “Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.” The truth is there is a pre-step, if you will, to persevering through the storms of life. The pre-step is staying in constant prayer because anything can come upon us at any time. What happens if the first warning sign comes five minutes before the disturbance? This barely leaves enough time to pray. So if we pray consistently we will maintain a more staple mindset. And the more staple mindset we have, the more capable we will be to withstand any obstacle.

God bless you,

Now we will begin breaking down our definition of storm. A storm is “a disturbance of the normal condition of the atmosphere…” Normal conditions are calm and relaxed both in the natural and the spiritual atmosphere. So what are the initial warning signs of a storm of life? Any disturbance of your peace, joy, happiness, financial prosperity, love, and the like is a warning sign. Storms can start within or may move upon us from the outside but the warning is the same.

Once you see, feel, hear, taste, or smell the disturbance it’s time to stop and pray. It’s time to stop and meditate. It’s time to stop and sing a sweet song of Zion. It’s time to stop and do whatever you have to do to get your mind receptive to the righteous spirit. If you can get your mind receptive at this stage then you will know what to do before the other storm attributes come along. God bless you.

Your obedient servant

A storm is “a disturbance of the normal condition of the atmosphere, manifesting itself by winds of unusual force or direction, often accompanied by rain, snow, hail, thunder, and lightning, or flying sand or dust.”

We are going to break this definition of storm down, so that we might recognize the storms of life when they arise. One might assume that a storm of life is obvious and needs no discussion. However, just like natural storms, supernatural storms have warning signs. If we can recognize the storms before they knock us down and out then we can run for shelter or at least weather the storm gracefully.

Join me over the next month to learn more about the storms of life. God bless you.

With all the issues going on in the world the last thing I want or need to see is the President’s bare chest. This is one reason why the world is in the shape it’s in. Don’t focus on foolishly small details like these. Focus on what will make your life better. God bless you.

This room allows you to respond and not react. A reaction is immediately, comes without thinking. A response is a thought out reaction. By wearing your feelings as loose garments when something or someone hurts them, you won’t feel the sting immediately. And by not feeling the sting immediately you have bought yourself time to process properly what’s transpired.

Life is a process. Nothing happens in isolation. When situations present themselves to us we must take pause and analyze everything. Maybe your boss jumped down your throat about something. Don’t assume it came out of anger or hatred. Maybe they really value you and your work and that’s why the boss even bothered to tell you.

When your feelings get hurt don’t react through your hurt feelings. Let the hurt subside. Let the pain subside. Let the anger subside. Subside it through prayer, fasting, and meditation. Go to a counselor, therapist, spiritual advisor, etc if necessary. Sometimes praying in isolation isn’t enough and we need to talk things over with someone. Just pick that someone very wisely.

God bless you my brothers and sisters in Christ. Until we meet again.

Your obedient servant,
Rev. George Latimer-Knight

Our UHSC President offered another thought provoking and inspiring message! Praise God for her exceptional leadership. The following are some of the verses she gave us…

“Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?” – 1 Corinthians 3:16

“God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.” – John 4:24

“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.” – Romans 8:14

Read them and be blessed.

We are having a glorious time at our convention. The spirits of all our loved ones are here with us. My wife and I are in our room resting and anticipating the afternoon service. I can hear the songwriter saying, “Yes God is real for I can feel him in my soul.” I can feel Him right now. I can feel the one whom my soul loveth. I can feel the one whom my mind desires. I can feel the one who is the man of God’s own choosing.

Yes God is real. His blessings are ever flowing. His presence is filling the hearts of every believing saint. All the saints of God are blessed! No matter your religious persuasion – you are blessed. Take the Lord God with you everywhere you go. You’re going to need Him everywhere you go. He’s going to bless you everywhere you go. He’s going to make you a blessing everywhere you go. Peace, joy, and happiness are yours. You’ll be hearing from me soon. Peace & Love!

Your obedient servant,

Dear readers receive the blessing!!!

Points of contact refer to any righteous, happy, or good event in the past, where we know God was in the midst. When the present presents us with challenges, as it often does, we must learn to refer back to points of contact. In difficult situations, it is sometimes nearly impossible to feel God’s presence. However, by looking back, and knowing that God does not change, we can encourage ourselves to know that if God was with us, he is with us.

Another thought—we must always be on the lookout for God in our lives. When something good happens today, see God in it, and make note of it. Note the event in your mind, yes even write it down. Points of contact may come objectively from the spirit, or we can have a notebook where we write these things down and read through them during tough periods.

Finally, as we plan for the future, we need to plan for future points of contact. Set goals, both short term and long term. Look forward to victories, because with each victory we have yet another point of contact. We can accumulate so many points of contact, that the evil thoughts of doubt and fear will never have a chance to take root in our minds. Peace and power are yours.

I have the honor to be your obedient servant,
Rev. George H. Latimer-Knight
