From the desk of Steve Shultz:

I have a feeling that Mahesh and Bonnie Chavda have very big chairs….bigger than even they think. They affect the globe. That takes a huge chair.

Just this morning I was realizing that God was enthroned on the praises of His People—on His chair—HIS THRONE. And then I saw this word by Mahesh Chavda.

I thought, "Could God really be saying the same thing in different words all over the world at the same time?"

As Dennis Wilhelm, my Director of Operations would say, "Ya think?" In other words, "DUH!"

Praise Him for HE will enthrone HIMSELF upon your praises. I promise, because it's in the Word, after all.

Here are some pivotal resources about praise. You should get them. It will help the artists and it will help us. Thank you for helping us. Oh, by the way, did you know that giving is a way or a manner of praising Him? I just thought I'd throw that in there.

Encounter with a Warring Angel

Several weeks ago I was sitting in my library when I suddenly heard a noise behind me. I turned, and there was an angel right there. He was young-looking, majestic, awesome, full of strength and joy and vigor. He was smiling, but there was also the fragrance and atmosphere of battle all around him. He was a warring angel, and he had just come from battle. I had the impression that I was not his assignment. He was literally coming from one battle and was heading off to another one. But in between he just landed momentarily, looked at me, smiled and asked, "How big is your chair?" Then, just as suddenly as he appeared, he departed.

After he left, and before I even had time to process his question, "How Big is your chair?" I realized that I was hearing music all around. In those moments that he was there, he carried with him the vibrations of the hymn, "Come Thou Almighty King: Come Thou Almighty King/Help us Thy Name to sing/Help us to Praise…Come and reign over us, Ancient of Days."

It was as if this hymn were the song of the battle the angel had just won. The sound and words lingered in the atmosphere surrounding him as he carried the message from the Lord, "How big is your chair?" Before I could even ponder the question, the Holy Spirit answered, "Psalm 22:3. You are enthroned on the praises of Your people."

When the Lord asks a question it is loaded. The message was not about my chair. It was about the Lord's chair. His throne. How big is His throne? How big is the chair we have made for Him in our hearts? We make His chair big through our praises.

We Represent the One Who is in the Big Chair

He is enthroned on our praises. God is speaking to us strategically in this hour. Make it personal in your life—become a vessel of His glory as you enthrone the King of kings in your heart. The bigger your chair, the more awesome you make God, the more awesome the release of His glory. How do we make God awesome? We begin to praise Him. We magnify the Lord as we proclaim His goodness, harmonize with His Word and exalt His mighty name. We become more and more in tune with the Throne of Heaven, and you become more aware of His awesome power and authority. You become a possessor of the truth, and in that context your chair gets bigger. The bigger the chair, the greater the authority, the greater the victory!...(more)

"How in the world would I sum up my life except to say 'God, at the end of the day I have really nothing but my faith, my reliance on You Lord…'"

The anticipated enthusiasm over former Governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin's new autobiography, Going Rogue, has only heightened as the book was released this week.

Along with the book release, Palin has granted several interview requests, including one by CBN News.

Palin spoke with CBN's David Brody about one of the less-talked-about subjects in Going Rogue—her very evident faith in God.

"How in the world would I sum up my life except to say 'God, at the end of the day I have really nothing but my faith, my reliance on You Lord,' and I wanted to articulate that," says Palin.

The former Governor of Alaska makes it clear that she is not shy about her trust in God, even as she realizes attacks will come from her critics. Brody notes that at the end of her book, Sarah encourages readers to put their faith in the Lord.

Palin explains, "My very last paragraph there sums it up and invites people, encourages people to do what I did and that's put their life in God's hands, our Creator, who knows probably better than we know what the perfect path is for a person."

The "Faith Like Potatoes" preacher says "his farm was once saved from a raging bushfire by his family's fervent prayers for rain; he has seen a farm worker raised from the dead after she was struck by lightning and God has come through for him with a miracle crop of potatoes in the face of the severest drought."

(South Africa)—Angus Buchan is a radical nation-builder who is being used by God to transform South Africa and impact lives across the globe. In April, GOD TV televised his 'Mighty Men' conference attended by 200,000 men, and he returns to GOD TV screens this weekend to boldly challenge the network's nearly half a billion viewers to see their nations transformed.

Angus fills capacity stadiums wherever he goes, and a huge crowd is expected this Saturday in the town of Worcester in South Africa's Western Cape Region. "Worcester for Jesus" can be watched LIVE on GOD TV at 10.30am (EST) on Saturday November 21st, with a replay on Monday November 23 at 12.30pm. (Photo: Shalom Ministries)

Angus is a farmer turned evangelist who has a unique ability to exhort people to trust God for the impossible, drawing on his personal experience of the miraculous. The author of the book, 'Faith Like Potatoes' (and whose life story is told in the film by the same name) he has seen God intervene in many different situations.

His farm was once saved from a raging bushfire by his family's fervent prayers for rain; he has seen a farm worker raised from the dead after she was struck by lightning and God has come through for him with a miracle crop of potatoes in the face of the severest drought.

Today he is devoted to nation building, encouraging people to fulfill their destinies, foster closer family relationships and build stronger communities. Angus also wants to see men become better husbands and fathers, and his "Mighty Men 2009" conference was one of the biggest men's events ever, as men from all over South Africa responded in unprecedented numbers.

"When I pick up a potato it reminds me of a plain, simple, real faith that will sustain us in our every day lives," he says. "When we have faith and act on it, God comes through for us."...(more)
