Abounding much more is the opportunity to thank God for a life controlled by His faithfulness, His loving kindness and His tender mercies (Lam 3:23).

His purpose in you and me is to make us holy, to shape us into the likeness of His Son, Jesus Christ (Rom 8:28-29). It is this particular set of circumstances in which we now live, the particular events of today that give us the opportunity to say, "Thank You, Lord for being at work in this situation and I know that Your purpose for me is thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give me a future and a hope." Is thankfulness something that is hard for you to apply on a regular basis? Well, you are not alone. If these words have prompted a grateful attitude in you today, then you might want to consider pushing all the feelings of despair, all the feelings of doubt, insecurity, and lack of accomplishment; all the feelings of being overlooked, envy, jealousy and worthlessness for a sacrifice of praise. Will you declare your spiritual victory over your situation beforehand? Will you 'Shout unto the Lord with the Voice of Triumph' today, right now in the midst of that situation to proclaim your victory. There is release in the praise! There is comfort in the praise! There is peace in the praise! There is victory in our praise! So "‌clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph" and Thank You Lord for all you have done for me!

hen God molded and created man (Adam) from the dust of the earth, He made him in His image and likeness, breathing" His breath" of life within him. This breath made man a living soul with the ability to freely, boldly and openly interact with the universe, all of creations and the Creator. God also made a partner for man (Eve) and together they shared and enjoyed oneness with Him. According to Genesis 2: 23 "The man and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame."

inner being allowing you to remove the glory that I had covered you with? Who caused your eyes to be opened to that which does not reflect my intentions for you to behold? Who robbed you of the innocence that I originally clothed you with? Where are the radiance and the essence of my glory that surrounded you? Where are the love, joy and happiness that once flowed lovingly and caringly from you to me? You used to run towards me now you run away and try to hide from my presence.
But the man and the woman sinned. This produced and revealed new emotions, perception, awareness, revelation and responses within them. According to Genesis 3: 8, "Then their eyes were opened, and they realized they were naked", and in verse 30, the man said to God, "I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid". They sewed fig leaves together and made covering for themselves. Obviously, they were not aware of their nakedness nor any negative emotions attached to same until after they have sinned. God asked them an interesting question "who told you that you were naked?"
Where are you Adam? I don't recognize the design and structure of the new you? I can't see my image, my aura, my reflection or my likeness in you anymore. I don't feel your heart beating for me. My heart is reaching for yours but there is no rhythm from your heart, only a flat line and no response to my stimulus. The life, glory and honor that I clothed, covered and protected you with have disappeared. Now you are exposed to fear, anxiety, shame, guilty, betrayal and dishonor to which I cannot relate. These emotions are not of me nor are they from me. You have lost the difference, significance, worth and value that I gave you. You have lost your resting place in me.
God was interested in knowing who deposited different information and thoughts into Adam's mind, heart and soul? Who have you been communicating with other than me? Who invaded your

make the covering for yourself. Fig leaves are inadequate because MY covering is a divine entity not made by human hands. But Adam, I need to temporarily cover you, but this time it will be with the skin of animals whose blood was shed and whose life was sacrificed on your behalf. The permanent covering will be the blood of Jesus Christ. It has the ability to cleanse the inside and outside of you as it replaces, changes and makes anew, all of you. A new life, a new creation and a new birth covered in His righteousness. In His righteousness, MY image and likeness will be restored. Life, joy and My glory will flow in, through, and out of you. Holiness, radiance and living water will be manifest from you. The Spirit of Christ will be divinely deposited within you, so you can live in Him as He lives in the Father. That's the Hallelujah beauty of being wrapped and covered in the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

hat doesn't sound like a suggestion does it, but‌"Suppose I don't feel like it!...Suppose the atmosphere is not conducive to Worship?...True worship is only done in church, and particularly "my" church, right?...That's not a 'true" worship song, and I'm not "into" that method of worship‌" The writers of the Book of Psalms of the Holy Bible did not take into consideration the "feelings" or opinions of people, but simply told them what The Lord God Almighty requires. It was commanded, and obedience was presumed and expected. Who would refuse to Praise the Lord? Praise is "comely" or fitting, becoming and appropriate. Praise for the Believer is as natural as breathing. To praise is not only what we do, but it is Who were are! There are 15 distinct Psalms in the Bible dedicated just to Praise, each including the phrase, and all extolling the benefits of praising Almighty God: Praise for Creation, God's faithfulness to Israel, God's wonderful works, and His Majesty. Some of these Psalms were used for daily synagogue worship (135-136, 146150), and some where used in connection with the annual feasts (113-118). It was one of these hymns or psalms that Jesus and His disciples sang at the end of their Passover feast in the upper room. A psalm, a poem sung to the accompaniment of musical instruments, was just a tool for expressing gratitude, gratefulness, and thanksgiving to Almighty God.
Through Jesus Christ, the New Testament Believer has even more reasons than ever to Praise God. The scriptures are rift with reasons to give God glory for His goodness.
For His salvation 1 Peter 2:9 For His strength For His sustenance For His wisdom
For answered prayer For Christ For the Awesomeness of God For His blessing -
For His Word For His works For His worthiness For the Saints of the Most High God-
For His compassion For His consolation
1 Peter 4:16
For His counsel
So, the next time there is an opportunity, at any time, at any place, for any reason,
For deliverance from enemies For deliverance in times of trouble For forgiveness of sins For God's Glory For His goodness For His grace through Christ For His greatness and His Majesty For His guidance For His justice For His love and faithfulness For His unchanging, matchless Name For His promise-keeping For His redemption For His revealed will For His righteous law
Praise Almighty God at all times, gloriously, with joy, with a sincere heart, with thanksgiving, with an upright heart, with your lips, with your mouth, and because of Christ. The benefits of Praise are endless and eternal. Praise from the grateful heart-satisfies the command of God for His children to praise Him, demonstrates son-ship, faith, obedience, gratitude, and loyalty, glorifies and honors God, sets you apart from the wicked and unbelieving, creates an atmosphere for the power, presence, and purpose of God to be manifested, defeats and frustrates the purposes and plans of satan, rescues from peril and danger, edifies the "praiser", adds fervency to effectual prayer, and tenderizes even the toughest situations in life.

any times when we come through a great battle or trial and come out victoriously, we are so elated, we feel like shouting, dancing, singing or other expressing of praise that displays our excitement and joy.
Most of the time we don't want opposition, but there can be no triumph without a trial, no victory without a battle. Thinking on the victory instead of the struggle I think is a great way to help us get through our trials. I think it also ties in with our faith because it encourages us to trust God, think on the greatness of God, and believe that He will bring us through. I heard someone else say "Don't tell God how big your problems are, tell your problems how big your God is. He is our Creator, in that alone we can be most praiseworthy. If He can create a people and a world so meticulous and wonderful, surely He can do the exceeding and abundantly above in all areas of our lives. In Revelations Chapter 5 John the revelator had a vision in which he talked about 4 beasts and how they were giving thanks to God day and night, crying Holy, Holy, Holy to the Lord Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come; acknowledging Him who sits on the throne and who lives forever and ever. Then the four and twenty elders fell down before Him and worshipped Him. They cast their crowns before the throne and worshipped God saying "thou art worthy, O Lord to receive glory, and honor and power." I believe they were very passionate in their expressions of thanks and praise, even laying down their crowns, and that we can look at their example as we continue in our efforts to "Ignite - Crossing Over With Passion!"

God for being with him during his tragedy. Here are his responses to my interview questions. For believers who know who they are; who enjoy a unswerving 'line-of-sight' with their destiny and who understands God's plan and purpose for their lives, are the believers who experience the fulfillment of God's grace, mercy and power. These same believers have an instant 'Hallelujah' in response to the simplest and to the most challenging encounters that could possibly move toward to them. Conversely, for those who are not yet believers, and are going through a 'roller-coaster of 'life's issues and cannot seem to find an exit or a relief from that 'roller-coaster ride' this month's article is for you. William Henry Ward wrote, "For every achievement there is a price, for every goal there is an opponent, for every victory there is a problem and for every triumph there is a sacrifice." My assertion is, 'for every situation or issue of life, there is an opportunity for a hallelujah effect (or outcome).' In other words, there is an opportunity to PRAISE God. In the times of tragedy, trouble or difficult situations, God promises, "I will be with you always, to the very end of the age." (Matthew 28:20). God promises are apparent in the life of a young believer who permitted me to interview him, use his name and publicize the interview relating to the theme, "The Hallelujah Effect." In talking with this young believer and listening to his story, I report to you that his Hallelujah is Effective. During his roller-coaster of life's ordeals; the loss of his wife, the beginning of a new job specialty (or commonly referred to for you military readers as a MOS or AFSC), his career field in the Air Force and the challenge of keeping both in perspective, life for this young man did not stop to give him time to grieve or to learn the rigors of his job, but he carved out time to Praise God. As a frequent reader of TITN, you will not personally know this young believer, but you may relate to the 'roller-coasters' of his life and most assuredly you can relate to "the hallelujah effect in his life.

Learning about Lasting Love and Overcoming Life's Obstacles Together By Tony Dungy, Lauren Dungy
Super Bowl-winning coach Tony Dungy and his wife, Lauren, believe you can have an uncommon marriage-one that stands the test of time-when you build it on the eight biblically based principles listed below. 1. Look to the Bible as your guidebook and to Christ as the living example for your marriage. Psalm 1; Ephesians 5. Make Christ the center of your marriage. Treat your parents and others in authority with respect. Wait on God's timing; don't try to make things happen yourself. Find your identity in Christ, not in the world. Look to God as the source for all the stamina and patience you need. Cling to each other and to God's promises that he is always with you when you face hard times. Prepare your mind and heart so you are ready for the opportunities God brings to you. Run to God rather than from him when troubles come. 2. Stay in sync spiritually. Proverbs 3:5-6; Matthew 18:19-20; Romans 8:26-30; James 1:5. Communicate about spiritual matters-which should be the number-one priority of your life. Plug into a church that offers solid biblical preaching and where you feel at home. Seek out an older couple who can model a strong marriage and family life. Be open to the possibility that the Lord is speaking to you through the input of your spouse. Share with each other the lessons you learn as you study the Bible. Don't resist change when you see God bringing something new into your life.
3. Manage expectations and appreciate your differences. 1 Corinthians 12:14-21; Ephesians 4:2-7. Recognize that differing expectations are inevitable given different upbringings. Be wise when picking your battles, understanding that your spouse probably doesn't intend his or her weaknesses to cause you grief. Recognize that God often brings together different types of people to complement each other and bring balance to a family. Expect that you will see things differently at times. Engage in activities you both enjoy together, but allow each other to maintain separate interests as well. Model appreciation of differences by treating each of your children as an individual with distinct needs at school and interests at home.
4. Work as a team. Ecclesiastes 4:9-12; Ephesians 4:15-16. Consciously think of your spouse as a valued teammate. Make a special effort to learn more about your spouse's passions and interests. Parent in a way that champions values, models character, and ensures each family member is doing what he or she needs to do that day. Seek coaching from trusted family members, friends, or counselors when you feel more like opponents than teammates. Work to accomplish something important together; as you do, you'll see your marriage growing stronger. Be intentional about noticing and addressing the needs of your spouse and children.
5. Practice committed love. Matthew 19:4-8; 1 Corinthians 13. Commit to stay together, no matter what. Affirm and express love to your spouse-especially when he or she is going through tough times. Be willing to step up and do a little more than usual when the situation requires it. Seek to keep your romance alive, but be aware that it's normal for feelings to fluctuate and change over time; don't let unrealistic expectations of constant romance diminish your commitment to-or satisfaction with-your relationship.
6. Communicate well and often. Proverbs 25:11; James 3. Learn as much as you can about each other and how you each communicate before you get married. Accept others' input when making decisions, but listen the most to God and to each other. Find a way to talk daily about what is happening in each other's life. Listen to and value your spouse's intuition. Remember that complaining will always bring you down; gratitude will lift you up. Model regular communication through family meetings.
7. Don't run away from conflict. (Proverbs 15:1; Colossians 3:13-15). Watch what you say-even the truth can wound when it's spoken in the wrong way or at the wrong time. Avoid frustration and seek to understand each other's heart by praying together and talking with each other. Practice thinking about an issue on which you disagree from your spouse's viewpoint. Don't assume your spouse understands how you feel-particularly when life gets busy. Be bold and speak the truth in love. Expect that when your emotions and perceptions don't line up, conflict will occur.
8. Support each other in serving others. Proverbs 22:9; Luke 12:48, 22:24-27 Model what a healthy marital relationship looks like to other young couples. Don't spread yourself too thin; it's hard to serve well and joyfully when you're over-committed. Remember that people are watching to see whether your actions and attitudes match your words. Be open to signals from your spouse that you are over-committed. Keep your priorities straight: put faith and family first. Consider what only you can do when deciding where to volunteer or what causes to support. Focus on both partners' passions. Share the spotlight with your spouse whenever you receive credit or recognition. Excerpt taken from Uncommon Marriage by Tony & Lauren Dungy. Copyright Š 2014. All rights reserved.

“We Are One� (Duet 6:1-15 John 17:19-23, John 10:30, Isaiah 53:1)
The number 1 represents unity as it stands alone and is included in every other number. We are one in the body of Christ sharing the same Lord, spirit, faith, hope and purpose. Just as the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are in unity and operate in harmony so must we. We have one Heavenly Father, one God and we follow one Shepherd. We worship one Son who is the only mediator for us with the Father. We know and understand the oneness in the Scriptures and unification between the Old and New Testament. Through unity God establishes his plans, rule and purpose on the earth. We are one in Christ and He and the Father are also one. It is this connection of unity that empowers excellence and success in ministry.

"Three Levels of the Anointing" (Isaiah 61: 4, Exodus 30:25-39, Acts 1:8, Lev 8:12 Samuel 13"15)
Leaders need to be saturated with the anointing of the Holy Spirit which empowers them to become influencers of change. There are different levels of anointing. The first is that of consecration which is setting oneself apart to become a holy vessel and a follower of Christ. Consecration allows us to become the instrument that God can use. The second is the priestly anointing representing God to the people and the people to God. The fruit of the spirit and the gifts of the spirit are operational as leaders walk supernaturally in the power of the Holy Spirit. The anointing of a king is a territorial anointing to change the atmosphere of regions or nations to establish the kingdom of heaven here on earth. Anointed leaders are Ambassadors of Christ with all the rights, privileges, power and immunity as they function as heaven's representatives.

“Knowing Who I Am� (Matthew 13:24-30)
The youths were reminded to know, accept and be confident of their true identity in Christ. They are wonderfully made with seeds of greatness within them which can be influenced and destroyed from internal and external sources. They were encouraged to protect the seeds and cover them with the word of God. They are to live a lifestyle influenced by the Holy Spirit and not by peers, entertainers or the masses.

"Even the Devil Has Sons" (John 8:44, Genesis 37:1)
The Devil is successful in passing on the message of evil from one generation to another by his sons who are devoted, focused, consistent and unified in echoing his voice and sound to the nations. Christians are the sons of God. Sons are tentacles connected to the Father through which His dreams, desires and will are fulfilled. Sons must be faithful, loyal, available, and consistent and share the Father's heart, mind and vision. The destiny of the sons is fulfilled through honoring and performing the work of the Father. Sons are responsible for spreading the gospel of hope and reconciliation from generation to generation.
"The Journey to Sonship" (Genesis 37)
When God wants a great work to be done He gets this accomplished through a son whom He prepares and equip for service. The path for Joseph started with a prophetic dream where God revealed and declared the identity of greatness within him. Difficult life encounters became the school ground for training and development of his leadership skills and ability. He experienced periods of rejection, jealousy, mistreatment, betrayal and brokenness. The deep inner wounds of suffering and the isolation experiences pushed him into intimacy with God. It was through these sufferings that he developed the character, temperament, wisdom, humility and leadership skill sets needed to do supernatural work for God. They fashioned him for greatness, excellence and success in God.

Ministry Spotlight “...singers were joined in unison, making one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the Lord, and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and other instruments for song and praised the Lord, saying, For He is good, for His mercy and loving-kindness endure forever, then the house of the Lord was filled with a cloud,…” II Chronicles 5:13 (AMP)

Recently, I was fortunate enough to discuss the Praise and Worship Experience at TRIM with Frank Cleveland, the new Minister of Worship Director.
An environment where the presence of God is welcomed and nurtured through individual relationships, liturgical dance, praise produced sounds expressed through contemporary, classical and sometimes traditional mix of music genres and songs that come from the manifested presence of God. The “T.R.I.M. Worship Family” is comprised of a diverse group TRUTH IN THE NEWS
of people who share a common passion for worshiping our Lord through music. They recognize and celebrate the fact that there are a variety of gifts in the Body of Christ and they've been chosen to use their musical gifts to enrich the worship service and encourage our congregation and online viewers to have a deeper, higher, and stronger relationship with God.
To build on the Legacy and facilitate an opportunity where God and His people can touch each other.
There are four aspects that go into the totality of what we do at TRIM: (1) Corporately: "…how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!" Psalm 133:1 (AMP) Teaching and admonishing congregants to come out of themselves and bless God giving Him what
he deserves. When everyone is engaged it moves God and the experience is even more powerful. (2) The Musical Expression of Praise: Music is spiritually significant for a number of reasons. Music makes you sensitive to hear God, it communicates spiritual truth, and if played under the anointing of God, it can drive away spiritual oppositions. (3) The Physical Expression of Praise: God inhabits the praise of His people. Freedom to express the love that’s on the inside of each us is manifested through our bodies. Standing, clapping, lifting of hands, bowing, kneeling and sometimes it’s burst forth in a spontaneous radical praise. (4) Personal Devotional Time: Developing a Life of Praise and Worship where we are in His Presence all week long. Every Christian should sacrifice time to be alone with God each day to have a closer walk. This time should include praise & worship to Him, prayer, reading and studying the Bible.
“One Sound” specifically pertains to the Music Ministry in three levels.
I. The Sound of the Church The Praise and Worship accompanies the spoken Word in the House. Understanding the move of the Spirit and echoing that in communal worship. Sensitivity to the flow of the Spirit is key. II. The Sound of the Visionary God delivers the vision for TRIM to our Bishop, in turn, we support, encourage and must be aligned with the Bishop’s voice/heart. III. The Sound of the Kingdom: “Universal Worship” - We want to provide music that can be sung in the Kingdom; it’s neither black or white, Latino or Asian, but plugs into the artery of the heart of God. It reaches the masses with TRUTH. It causes one to think outside of their own situation.
My life verse is: “…Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you:…” Acts 3:6 (NKJV)

Being identified as an exceptionally gifted musician at an early age, Frank served as student conductor for the Vocal Music Department as well as performing with several ensembles at Fort Hayes School for the Performing Arts. During this time, he was introduced to electronic music production by Edward “Tiger” Nicholas (Producer for LeVert). Under “Tiger’s” tutelage, Frank began to co-produce and produce several projects. He quickly gained local recognition as a songwriter and producer. After a very successful tenure at Fort Hayes, Frank entered the Music Education Program at Capital University where he received several awards including an outstanding rating for piano performance at the Elmhurst Jazz Festival. After college, Frank served his country in the United States Army where he was the Battalion Choir Director and the musician for the Gospel Church Youth Choir.

Thursday, May 1st was the 63rd annual National Day of Prayer. The theme for the this year was One Voice, United in Prayer, emphasizing the need for individuals, corporately and individually, to place their faith in the unfailing character of their Creator, who is sovereign over all governments, authorities, and men. To further highlight the theme, Romans 15:6 was chosen as the Scripture for this year: "So that with one mind and one voice we all may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

The only thing that can make a human spirit come alive is God Himself. Nourish and feed your relationship with Him by seeking Him daily. Having peace and harmony with God is the ultimate health and wellness for you. God gives you a free will to either believe Him or not. He won't make you do what He says. But the only problem is that if you choose not to listen to Him you are the one who gets hurt sooner or later. Like holistic medicine, health and wellness in every area is His will for you.

GROWING IN POWER & STATURE
There is a dimension of "Growth" that the Father desires to activate in the lives of His children. That dimension is called "Stature." Those that have stature don't have to wear it on their bodies, they don't have to tell us everything they have; it's not that important. God wants us to not only grow in power, but also in stature.
There is power in persistent unrelenting prayer. Seeking the Father's will for our lives no matter the cost has it's advantages. When we're in an intimate ongoing relationship with the Father, He acts on our behalf. Don't take your focus off Jesus. Be the persistent intercessor.

We have the tendency to reach for something that will cause us to sleep; warm milk, a sleeping aid or strong drink. Have you considered our inability to sleep might in fact be a poke from God. God uses these times to stir our hearts towards a holy encounter, Spirit to Spirit. The next time He pokes, say yes Lord…
It is in Christ alone that we are saved by faith; it is by His grace that we are saved. It is through JESUS we are "At-One-Ment." We must have faith in Him alone. It's time to measure up to the Word of God and not bring God's Word down to our level.
