“Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.” Psalms‬ ‭100:4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Are you a bank? Are you a credit union? Then STOP giving the enemy so much credit! His account is CLOSED in your life!! Start thanking GOD for your life, your family and all the other blessings HE has showered you with.

So many crazy things going on in the world and too many of us are saying ‘oh the devil is busy, the enemy is lurking, Satan is running amongst us’. STOP IT!

Remember that GOD is the Great I AM, period. The Alpha and the Omega, the author and the finisher, the beginning and the end, the one who was and is and is to come! That’s what we should be talking about is HOW GREAT IS OUR GOD!

On this Worship Wednesday I beseech you, I implore, I sincerely request that your Praise and Worship would have a different flavor, a more pleasing aroma to the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. Our worship is our warship, so let Judah go before us as we Praise HIS NAME on this beautiful day.

Please share this with your loved ones and leave a comment if you are so moved.

I learned a long time ago that an attitude of Gratitude will always help you get further down the road of life than being negative.

When you read the verse above you realize that is an impossible request x three. There is no way possible to do what is being asked but that is in our natural self. With the Holy Spirit we can do ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST who strengthen us. ‘…for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you…’ explains the intent of our Lord and Savior.

It is all about your mindset and where we place our focus. If you look for the good you will find the good and the opposite applies also. You find what you’re looking for, just try it.

Let us have the eyes of Christ and see others as HE sees us and not how the world does. If we can all do that then we can make a difference in this world and for our kids. Let’s REJOICE TOGETHER!!!

We were so blessed to attend the Ordination of Senior Pastor William Armstrong and his lovely wife Annette at the Grand Opening of Joyful Community Church Kauai in Koloa, Kauai yesterday.

Bishop Fred Welch of Joyful Community Church Maui was there with First Lady Zena along with his armor bearer Pastor Anana and his beautiful bride Aubrey. Lady Lyn and I were traveling with Pastor Bird and First Lady Lucy Mahelona for this celebration on Kauai.

Mahalo to Pastor James Eric ‘Kimo’ Williams for the release from service at LMAIC to go to Kauai.

In the book of Psalms 133 it talks about UNITY. Having clergy from other islands to honor Pastor Armstrong and his bride exampled to the congregation assembled yesterday the power of UNITY!

As I shared with those gathered, GOD Commands a blessing when there is UNITY. That’s Bible, that’s not just something that sounds nice, it’s in the Book! And we always speak The Truth, The Whole Truth and nothing but The Truth.

I don’t know about you but I LOVE BLESSINGS, giving or receiving is awesome in my book. Maybe if we could live in more UNITY, we’d get more blessings…. just saying.

Have an Awesome Motivational Monday and remember YOU are BLESSED to be a BLESSING.

We are IN IT TO WIN IT.

The other day we were talking about the ‘Power of Agreement’ as Pastor James E. Williams had so eloquently shared on our Free Inside Radio Program the other evening.

Following that we were talking that you can ‘have’ an agreement but not BE in agreement. The truly miraculous power is when you are in agreement and I have Bible for you.

In the book of Acts chapter 2:1 it reads “When the day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.” And the definition of accord is ‘be harmonious or consistent with’.

You can have an agreement like an official document, contract or treaty and still not be ‘IN’ agreement. Let me go further you can be loved and not in love, you can be interested in a ministry but are you invested in that ministry. Imagine if you are really, truly IN love, there is Heavenly and Anointed power in that.

The picture was takes in a quiet moment as Lyn had just won the General Manager of the Year for Hawaii Lodging and Tourism Association. Out of every single hotel in the state of Hawaii, She was selected as the Best General Manager. She is my Wingless Angel and of whom much is given much is required. I support her 1,000% because together we are IN IT TO WIN IT for the Kingdom of God.

You are blessed to be a blessing, so get out there and start blessing on this Freedom Friday!!!

Amos 3:3

‘Can two walk together, unless they are agreed?’

It is TURNAROUND THURSDAY and someone’s life is going to do that after reading this message.

The other night in the studio Pastor James Eric Williams of Life More Abundantly Island Church brought a word that could very well change your life.

There is POWER in AGREEMENT and the first thing you need to come in AGREEMENT with is the Word of God. I know I just lost about six readers but that’s ok because as we ALL used to sing when we were kids, ‘Praise God from whom all blessings flow…’! I don’t know about you but I love to be blessed. The Word of God as it is written is our survival guide to make it through life. Many will say it is Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth. Having said that, if you don’t follow the instructions in ANYTHING we do, there’s going to be some problems. Am I talking to anyone yet?

Even in the world, there’s a saying ‘2 heads (2minds) are better than 1’. That follows with our theme that there is POWER in AGREEMENT because when there is agreement there is no disagreement. You ever paddle a canoe or a tandem kayak? When the both of you are stroking in unison you just seem to glide smoothly over the water. Have you ever seen two people not in sync paddling together? What happens? They end up going in circles at best.

Man, that’ll preach right there; what happened to Moses and the Israelites when they left Egypt? They kept going and going and going for forty years because they were NOT in agreement.

Even for our married couples, I pray you know the feeling of when you are in AGREEMENT with your spouse because it seems that everything is perfect. It seems as if the kids listen better, the dog listens to you, and you don’t even hit a stop light driving to work. I mean everything is ‘schmooood’.

If you can get back to the start, back to the beginning and come in AGREEMENT with GOD and HIS WORD I promise you your life will be forever changed. God is not a man that HE Should lie and HIS Word will NOT return void, That’s Bible!

Blessings always and share this link with you family, friends and loved ones. They need to hear the Word of the Lord and it could change their life today!

“Pastor Bulla, how do we renew our mind?” and I’m glad you asked. The actual dictionary definition of ‘renew’ is to resume an activity after an interruption, to re-establish, or to become new or make new.

God wants us to be transformed because we are in this world but we are not of this world. Remember it was God who originally formed us in our mother’s womb but we entered a sick, secular and sinful world. It is because of our environment (the world) that we must be TRANSFORMED. The transformation is the result of the renewing of our mind.

I appreciate the definition that said ‘to resume an activity after an interruption’. You know I got Bible for you, in the first chapter of the Book of John in the New Testament it says ‘In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God’. So that means the Word came before everything we know of and since we were made in the likeness of His image we were originally perfect creations in the Garden.

Back on point of renewing our mind daily is through prayer, worship, praise, and reading the Word of God and all of this we do so that we may prove what is the good, acceptable and perfect will of God.

That’s another message altogether but for now let’s enjoy WORSHIP WEDNESDAY.

Leave a comment below and let me know what you think.

What a wonderful time we had in Maui recently. So blessed to worship with Joyful Community Church Maui and Bishop Fred and First Lady Zena Welch. What a Holy Spirit filled Service we had. Big mahalos to the Hoke Ohana from Upcountry for sliding down the hill for service. Also our dear sister Carol who is a walking testimony of God’s Grace, she has overcome everything the enemy has put in front of her.

Grateful to have been in the pulpit that Sunday and my Takao ohana who came, Richard and Mamasan and Mike. Truly it was an anointed time for me to speak life and truth into so many that morning.

• No matter what you are going through remember this, ‘No weapon formed against you shall prosper’ and that’s Bible! They’re coming but they will not prosper or in this case it means to succeed or fulfill its assignment. But be ready for battle because the enemy or Satan only wants to steal, kill, and destroy you and anything and everything that you love… period. That’s why we hold on to the WORD OF GOD, because before there was anything else there was the Word. ‘In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God’, so we jut have to get back to the beginning sometimes and start over but start on the right path.

Many people will tell you that you’re ‘stuck’ with your family. Although that sounds very daunting and haunting to many it actually has a silver lining for the very fortunate few. My Wingless Angel and I are just that… too blessed to be stressed.

This is our family, our Ohana as we say in Hawaii. Dr. Richard and Lynda (mamasan) their sons Ryan and Mike, their daughter in law Cari and grandson Nate are our family and it is the genuine love for God and His hand upon our lives that brought us together.

My dad passed away 22 years ago and my mom was 42 years ago when God called her home. To have a couple take you in with open arms and open hearts like Richard and Lynda have is nothing short of God’s Grace and Love extending through them. When I hugged Mamasan for the first time it was like the last time I hugged my mom 42 years ago. I thank God for His mercy and His love and for His two angels that He has assigned over us. Thank You JESUS is all I can say.

Ohana is more than blood, ohana is the core of your sole in another person’s hands.

Matthew 6:33 says ‘Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you’. I have ministered over the years and truth be told that if God is not 1st in your life then you are a ‘backslider’. That is not meant to get you riled up and angry but more to bring you to a point of reflection to look at your walk with Christ. For many of us he is our 911, whenever in trouble we cry out to God. ‘Oh God, get me out of this jam, and I’ll go to church forever, I promise’, does that ring a bell with anyone. God is not a deal maker He is a deal breaker because He and He alone breaks the deal that you have made with Loserfer, Satan, the enemy with your soul. We need to go to God with everything because He has told us already ‘I will never leave you nor forsake you’, so why do we think we can hide from He who is omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent? It really doesn’t make sense when you sit down in your quiet time and think about it. As for me and my house, we shall serve the Lord and my prayer and hope is that you will also. Remember, ‘you’re too blessed to be stressed’!

Thanks for joining me!
