Good morning everyone! Thank You Lord for waking me up this morning into another day of Your beautiful creation that is humans have ruined. Father, help me and show me how to lead in Spirit and Truth. Help me lead by example.

Today is June 27th, 2026. This year is already half way over! My how time flys when we are living for the Lord! He keeps me so busy now that I don’t even know what day it is most of the time. Which is good! We still have a lot to do to be fully unpacked at the new place we are living. We got one more big item to get out of the house that we’ve been living in for the last 17 years. It’s the only home our girls have ever known. We are renting that home that we have paid off to some friends of ours. God has just lined everything up perfectly for us to come and live in Ohatchee. Amen! I want to thank all my men for helping last week with the move. Even the ones that stayed and worked at work. Red (Johnny Davis and Nathan Hickman) love both of y’all! Thank you! Also want to thank LonnieMisty Barksdale and my illegitimate son Reid. Haha! For helping with the move! I’m just kidding on the illegitimateson for everyone who takes things to heart. Reid is like a son to me! I love him like a son even though he has a great dad and mom. They have done a wonderful job raising this young man and is a faithful follower of Jesus Christ! I’m so proud of him. He takes his walk more serious than any 17 year old man I’ve met. He takes his walk more serious than most Christian’s I’ve no met come to think of it! He’s a special young man God has big plans for! I’m so proud of you young man. I’m always here for you! I feel like you my Timothy! 😀

I got up at 4am this morning and really seeking the Lord and His voice of guidence. Finally I can breathe enough to enjoy my time with Him the least two mornings. It makes such a difference in my day when I’m able to get up early and clear my head of all worldly lust. It’s almost 5 now and I’m hearing the early birds chirping in the distance. They are the ones who gets the worm. Well…….. 😂😂😂

I had an amazing dream last night that I know was from the Lord! I dreamed Blue Mountain Baptist Church was filled with people! Wooooooooooooo come on somebody! Kenny Jenkins! My dad was even there along with my aunt Annette Peterson and a lot of our family! Hallelujah! It gave me so much peace to be in the presence of our Lord with all of my family. Even if it was a dream. But I think that dream means more than “just a dream”. In the dream everyone was happy and fellowshipping. I was in the back about to take the pulpit and looking through the doors and was blown away at how many people was in that beautiful building at Blue Mountain Baptist Church.

We fished up VBS last night and there was 8 children who decided to give their lives to Christ Jesus! Woooooooooooooo! Heaven was shouting and His angels was dancing. I had the Holy Spirit fly all over me! It was so beautiful! Amen! 🙏 we had 15 to 16 children there and half of them gave their lives to Christ! I’m so proud of all of them! That’s only just the beginning though we must walk out our salvation. Amen again! I haven felt good all week and last night was the first night I got to attend. And to be there blessed my heart. I keep thinking we started with 5 people and my family doubled the congregation. That made it around 10 to 12 people in the whole church when I first preached there. So many doubters at that time and I understand why. Not pointing fingers or blaming anyone. The church had lost its fire and all the congregation was 75 plus of age. They wasn’t able to get out and do. But as I sit there and just watched the Lord work last night i seen an amazing church family working so hard for the Lord. Working so hard to save souls! With parents and everyone there that helped we had probably 30 to 40 people in attendance for VBS! Isn’t that wonderful! And 8 salvations! We’ve baptized over 30 to 35 people just this year and it looks like 8 more are coming very soon! I would love to reach 100 by the end of the year and I’m asking God right now in the name of Jesus to blow that number out of the water!

I haven’t been given y’all much Scripture this week just writing and reflecting. Since school has let out this has been one of the hardest battles I’ve had to face against my anger since I’ve been following Christ. Yes, I have failed a time or two with my mouth but the Lord has forgiven me! This season of anger is over! I’m seeing daylight. Not only on my porch right now at 5:10 am but no more darkness. The light has shown through my anger. This has been a tough season and I see Gods mighty hand at work! He has forgiven me and it’s time to rise up out of the ashes again! On top of everything that has happened I’ve quit va**ng right in the middle of all this and Monday will be two weeks! Praise God! I want Your full anointing my Lord!

I hope soon we can take a family vacation. Work has picked up and I know our Lord is gonna make this vacation happen before school starts back. Thank You Jesus!

I just want to thank all of y’all who has supported this ministry and I ask you all the please start sharing these daily devotionals of life. And me walking out my salvation very publicly. It’s not by choice I started this ministry. I was called by God to live out my struggles on Facebook. I hope yall learn with me as I go through things! Jesus is our strength and our refuge even when it’s hard hold onto Him!

Psalm 1
New American Standard Bible
BOOK 1

The Righteous and the Wicked Contrasted.

1 Blessed is the person who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked,
Nor stand in the [a]path of sinners,
Nor sit in the seat of scoffers!
2 But his delight is in the Law of the Lord,
And on His Law he meditates day and night.
3 He will be like a tree planted by [b]streams of water,
Which yields its fruit in its season,
And its [c]leaf does not wither;
And [d]in whatever he does, he prospers.
4 The wicked are not so,
But they are like chaff which the wind blows away.
5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
Nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
6 For the Lord [e]knows the way of the righteous,
But the way of the wicked will perish.

I truly truly love you all!

As I sit on the porch this morning. The birds are chirping and the world is waking up! The sky has went from completely dark to a little light shining now. Noting major but you can tell that big red ball is circling the earth. Yes, it’s circling us! What! That’s what the bible says! Once we wake up and realize we are totally deceived in every aspect of this life and the bible is the only truth it’s easy to see. Gods wonderful creation is totally majestic.

Now the birds are getting louder. I can hear Gods voice through their songs. The sky is slowly getting brighter and brighter. Thank You Lord for another beautiful day! The cars are also waking up it’s a distraction so I can’t hear Gods voice through His creation. Why are we always in such a hurry? Why? Truly why are we? Where do we have to go? Well work brother Nick! I understand but what if I told you that job you are rushing off too is nothing but a distraction to keep you busy from worshipping God! What if I told you that the more money you make the more dependent on you you become and not God. Just sn*******ng here. Im guilty too! God intended us to work,yes, but not like this! When I rode down these streets now I see paved roads and power lines. I see cars zooming one way and cars rushing to get somewhere else going the opposite direction. What’s the hurry? I hear a squirrel barking in the woods beside me now. It’s mighty early for him. I wonder what he’s upset about. I hear God! His voice is so simple but so elegant. So calm yet so loud. He melts my heart and He guides my soul. The birds are really lifting their voices in praise to Him now! Amen! 🙏 thank You Lord for this moment with You. I look up from writing and it’s getting brighter and brighter out here. I see the trees now and they are even lifting their branches in praise to the Most High God! YHWH! HALLELUJAH! LORD I SURRENDER TO YOUR MIGHTY WILL! LORD I ASK YOU TO HAVE GRACE AND MERCY ON ME AND MY FAMILY TODAY. I SEEK FIRST YOUR KINGDOM! GIVE ME A HEART LIKE DAVID SO I DANCE FOR YOU! THE DIFFERENT SOUNDS YOUR CREATION MAKES IS SO BEAUTIFUL. WHY DO WE HURRY? WHY DO WE RUSH OFF AND NEVER ENJOY YOUR PRECIOUS PRESENCE. WHY DO WE HAVE SOMEWHERE TO BE AND REALLY NO WHERE TO GO? I SEEK YOUR FACE MY LORD! I WANT ALL OF YOU I CAN HAVE. I WANT YOUR FULL ANOINTING! I NEED YOU EVERY SECOND FATHER! USE ME AND MY WONDERFUL FAMILY AS A BEACON OF LIGHT IN HEALTH AND IN PROSPERITY TO RAISE UP NATIONS! I FEEL LIKE JOSEPH ALOT FATHER. I KNOW OUR TIME IS COMING. I WAIT IN YOUR PERFECT TIMING TO SHOW EVERYONE WHO YOU ARE THROUGH ME! I SURRENDER COMPLETELY TO YOU MY LORD.

Where ever You lead me today keep my mind focused on You! Keep my actions representing You. Keep my heart from breaking Yours. Please forgive me now for the sins I will be guilty of. You know my heart Lord! I’m sorry I live in this fallen nature. Let Your glory rain down on us like an Alabama summertime afternoon downpour. Let you glory rain down on us! Amen! While everyone else is in a hurry slow me down to see you in ever aspect of my life. So I can be an example of You majestic greatness.

I can hear a sparrow hawk now! I can actually see him flying over head. Is that You my Lord? Help me not to worry about things I can not change and work on our relationship today, Father. Help me not waste words on disappointment and discouragement. Use my words to build up and not tear down. Your still quiet voice is so loud! I love You to Father! Thank You for loving me! You loved me even when I couldn’t even love myself. You loved me even when no one else did. You have love me before you even placed me in this skin suit. I remember Lord and thank You for waking be up out of this dark deception.

As your creation speaks stop me to listen! I can hear a dove hooting in the background now. I love doves Father! You know I do! I love how they represent Your Spirit. You sent me a dove that night, You remember? Of course You do. You had that planned out a long time ago. Those who have ears let them hear. Those who have eyes let them see.

Father , I ask You to lift this sickness off of me and teach me what it is You wanted me to learn today through this sickness. Lord, I ask You if You don’t lift it give me the strength to keep pushing forward today. Let Your mighty will be done. You are my strength and my refuge. My very ready help in trouble. Thank you my Lord for standing my gaurd. It is no longer I who lives but it’s Christ in me!

LORD I LOVE YOU! THANK YOU FOR YOUR REDEEMING BLOOD! THANK YOU FOR SAVING ME FROM MYSELF! THANK YOU FOR LOVING ME!

I TRULY TRULY LOVE YOU ALL!

Heavenly Father, I come before Your mighty throne of grace and I praise You my Lord! I kneel at Your feet and I surrender to Your will and not my own. Oh, how bad I need Your guidance and Your deliverance from all things evil. I pray for darkness to be lifted and sickness throughout my body to be healed. I claim life and victory in the name of Jesus Christ my Lord. I ask You my Lord to cover my home, my family, my business, Blue Mountain Baptist Church, the community, the city, and this county in the blood of Jesus Christ our Lord! I stand as a man of Valor. I stand as a son of God! I stand I do not sit at let the enemy have any control over me! I have authority in the name of Jesus Christ! He clears my paths and He keeps me under His mighty wings. I stomp on the heads of serpents. I walk on the waters with Jesus! I am the head and not the tail! Cover me and light my path my Messiah! I no longer live in the darkness of the shadows of death. I live and I live because of You my Lord. You have given me life and life more abundantly. You have raised me from the dead! I am heir to Your kingdom and I have been robed in white! I am no longer dirty I have been washed cleaned by the blood of the Lamb! Get behind me Satan in the name of Jesus Christ! I don’t care what you try to tell me, “I am no longer”, it’s Christ that lives in me! From this day forward Father I ask You to open doors no man can shut. I ask You Lord to make paths striaght. I ask You Lord to lead my family and me into prosperity and health all the days of our lives as we follow You in obedience. You have chosen me as a disciple and I follow You to the ends of this earth Raising up communities, cities, counties, states, and nations. I hear You Father and I walk in the Light and not in the dark. Send me the people who follow You and get rid of all the ugly. Put people in places around me to help me build Your kingdom. I fall to Your feet in humbleness my Lord and I ask these things in the name of Jesus Christ! I ask You as my Father that says if I come to You in Christ name You will see to it. Let Your will be done my Lord in Christ name. Let’s raise up nations Father. Send me!

1 Samuel 17

Nasb

41 Then the Philistine came and approached David, with the shield-bearer in front of him. 42 When the Philistine looked and saw David, he was contemptuous of him; for he was only a youth, and [z]reddish, with a handsome appearance. 43 So the Philistine said to David, “Am I a dog, that you come to me with sticks?” And the Philistine cursed David by his gods. 44 The Philistine also said to David, “Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the sky and the [aa]wild animals.” 45 But David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword, a spear, and a [ab]saber, but I come to you in the name of the Lord of armies, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. 46 This day the Lord will hand you over to me, and I will strike you and remove your head from you. Then I will give the dead bodies of the army of the Philistines this day to the birds of the sky and the wild animals of the earth, so that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel, 47 and that this entire assembly may know that the Lord does not save by sword or by spear; for the battle is the Lord’s, and He will hand you over to us!”

48 Then it happened, when the Philistine [ac]came closer to meet David, that David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet the Philistine. 49 And David put his hand into his bag and took from it a stone and slung it, and struck the Philistine on his forehead. And the stone penetrated his forehead, and he fell on his face to the ground.

50 So David prevailed over the Philistine with the sling and the stone: he struck the Philistine and killed him, and there was no sword in David’s hand. 51 Then David ran and stood over the Philistine, and took his sword and drew it out of its sheath and finished him, and cut off his head with it. When the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled.

We cut off the head of the enemy! Their champion is dead in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord!

Come on somebody!

Can I get a hallelujah!

I truly truly love you all!

Good morning everyone. It’s almost two am and I woke up with read on my mind so that what I did. If you been following me you know I’ve been in the book of 1 Samuel. Today is no different! I’ve been doing a study on king David. I’m not very deep into it right now because I can’t get out of the first two chapters that talk about David! God is showing me so much. I want to give y’all a quote from David as he joins the Israelites in battle against the Philistines.

1 Samuel 17

Nasb maybe a NFV (nicks favorite verses)

26 Then David said to the men who were standing by him, “What will be done for the man who kills this Philistine and rids Israel of the disgrace? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he has dared to defy the armies of the living God?”

Who is this philistine,that has dared to defy the armies of the Living God! Come on somebody! Amen! How many of us look at the enemy that way? Even the enemy that enters us when we fall short. Do you take it this serious? I do! Who dares raises up against the Living God Jesus Christ! Probably the youngest boy at this battle and the weakest and probably the most non looking soldier of the whole bunch says, “where’s he at, let me at em. I don’t have to fear or worry I have the God of Israel on my side!” You know I’m sure we look like David to Satan. Every single one of us. I don’t care how big and bad you “THINK” you are. I’m 6’6” almost three hundred pounds and I look like David to satan and probably even smaller until I speak the name of Jesus! COME ON! DID YOU HEAR ME! WE HAVE AUTHORITY OVER THE BIGGER ENEMY! WE HAVE THE GOD OF ISRAEL ON OUR SIDE! WE CAN RISE UP AGAINST ALL ENEMIES! ONE CAN GO INTO BATTLE AGAINST MILLIONS WITH THE GOD OF ALL CREATION ON HIS SIDE! SO WHY DO WE FEAR? LITTLE OL DAVID SAID IVE SNATCHED UP BEARS AND LIONS WITH MY BARE HANDS BECAUSE I KNOW WHO GIVES ME POWER! DO YOU KNOW WHO GIVES YOU POWER ARE YOU STILL LETTING THE DEVIL HAVE HIS WAY WITH YOU! STAND UP! IF YOU ARE NOT AT WAR THEN YOU HAVE BEEN OVER TAKEN BY THE EMEMY! YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY YOU CANT BE HAPPY BECAUSE DARKNESS HAS TAKEN OVER YOUR LIFE! WAKE UP OUT OF THIS DREAM THE DEVIL HAS ALL OF US WALKING IN! WE ARE WALKING DEAD UNTIL WE SURRENDER TO LIFE! I WALKED DEAD FPR 40 YEARS UNTIL I MET JESUS! AMEN! UNTIL I RECEIVED LIFE! THAT LIFE IS JESUS! THAT JOY IS JESUS! THAT EVER LASTING LOVE IS JESUS! THAT SMOLE THAT I CANT WIPE OFF MY FACE……. YELP…….

IS JESUS!

My family and I have been hit hard with bomb shells here lately. But you know what we war together now! The enemy can’t tear us apart! Amen! He used to have complete control over our marriage and my family. Now he just try’s to sneak his little weak tail back into our lives and God closes the door in his defeated face! THIS IS WAR PEOPLE! IF WE ARE NOT AT WAR WITH THE ENEMY OF THIS WORLD WE HAVE BEEN OVERCOME BY DARKNESS AND ARE BLIND TO THE COMPLETE TRUTH. I DONT KNOW HOW ELSE TO TELL YALL! I WAS COMPLETELY BLIND TO THIS AT ONE TIME IN MY LIFE! I THOUGHT I HAD TO LINE UP LIKE EVERYONE ELSE AND KNOCK OFF THE NEXT PERSON IN FRONT OF ME. COME TO FIND OUT WE WASNT GETTING NO WHERE. THE ENEMY WAS KEEPING US SO BUSY COMPETING AGAIST ONE ANOTHER THAT WE DIDNT EVEN KNOW WE WAS ON A HAMPSTER WHEEL CHASING OUR OWN TAILS! STOP! PLEASE! GET OFF THE HAMPSTER WHEEL! STOP CHASING EVERYTHING THIS WORLD SAYS WE NEED FOR JUST 10 MINUTES! GET SOMEWHERE AND GET QUIET. PLEASE I BEG YOU. IF IT DONT WORK CALL ME 😜. TURN OFF THE PHONES, THE RADIO, THE TV, THE WORLD! CLOSE YOUR EYES! PICTURE IN YOUR MIND GOD ON HIS THRONE OF GRACE AND MERCY! ASK HIM TO REVEAL HIMSELF TO YOU IF HE IS REALLY REAL. DONT GIVE UP AFTER A COUPLE OF SECONDS THATS YOUR FLESH FIGHTING YOUR SPIRIT. OUR FLESH IS EVIL. MAKE YOURSELF SIT QUIETLY FOR JUST 10 MINS FOCUSING ON GOD! CAN YOU DO IT? CALL OUT TO THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST IN YOUR SILENCE. BREAK FREE FROM THIS WORLD! JESUS CHROST IS ALIVE! IVE MET HIM RIGHT THERE WHERE YOUR AT RIGHT NOW! HE CAME TO ME! HE CAME TO ME IN MY DARKNESS! PLEASE LISTEN AND DONT TURN A DEAF HEAR. THATS SATAN TELLING YOU TO STOP!
