11.2011

Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! It has been a long season since we have written unto you and we sincerely apologize for our delay in communicating. We are revamping some things in ministry, as you note our DCM logo change and you will notice others as we continue improving our approach to ministry and serving you our partners more effectively.

God gave me a word concerning this year and even though it is late in the calendar year it is never too late for God to do what He said.

The year 2011 is the “Year of the Shift”; a year of change, and exchange in order to prepare for God’s transfer. God gave me the example of a vehicle with a manual shift transmission. Every time you shift or change from 1st to 2nd, or 2nd to 3rd and beyond you shift to a higher level, which provides an opportunity for more power, speed and acceleration. I believe the same is true concerning spiritual things, that as you change or renew your minds with the word of God according to Romans 12:2 you will experience more of God’s presence and power to get you into His perfect will in record time.

Allow the word to go through your ears, eyes and come out of your mouth on a continual basis that it might expand the boundaries of your life. Realize it is not only changing your mind, but your heart, and your actions will change as well. This is known as true repentance; coming to a higher level in your life with God.

In addition to changing, you must be willing to exchange. Have you ever purchased an item that was the wrong size or maybe the wrong color? In order to correct it, you can never get the new item without releasing the old one. It is the same with God. You will never be able to lay hold on the good life that He has for you until you let go of the old life that you possess. You must exchange or lay down your life of sin in order to receive or pick up the life of righteousness. (Hebrews 12:1)

Why am I so adamant about shifting, changing and making exchanges? It is due to the fact that transfer is on the line. God desires to transfer the wealth of the wicked into the hands of the just, those who are right in the eyes of God. (Proverbs 13:22, James 5:1-4)

But until you are willing to change and make the necessary exchanges, you will never qualify for the transfer of God’s Glory (wealth and material blessings). Make a quality decision to live for God at another level. Understand that God is a god of increase (Psalms 115:12-16) and He wants to increase you more and more, you and your children, but it will require action on your behalf.

It is due time and your season as a part of the body of Christ to get to your promised land and possess God’s best.

Don’t allow rebellion and stubbornness of heart to hinder you from changing. (Psalms 55:19) Reverence God and make the necessary adjustments and see the precious promises of God manifest for you.

As you pray, consider sowing a seed of love into our ministry as we endeavor to change lives around the world. Partnership has its privileges and benefits and we pray that as you partner with us for kingdom increase, you will experience God’s best in your life, today and always.

Pastor Alesia and I pray for you daily, that you believe to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. (Psalms 27:13)
Remember Jesus is Lord and in all your getting, get understanding so that you can “Bridge the Gap between Religion and Reality.”

Much Love,

Darius & Alesia Crayton
