“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)

Today was another historical day of taking a stand for the WFJ GLOBAL MOVEMENT. Team destiny hosted their final of three WFJ (Words From Jesus) webinars in December 2009 called “The Miracle of Christmas.”

Dr. Joseph Peck served as the global connector and host of this webinar. The guest panelists were: Deb Smith, Richard Mayhan, Bertha Hinson, and me, Abigail Slocum. Clearly the Holy Spirit took control of the webinar before it ever started and never let go!

He began by waking me up at 3:22 AM to give me this prophetic word – WFJ: THE MIRACLE OF CHRISTMAS IS CHRIST! It was His way of orchestrating the whole focus for the discussion. These are the questions we covered:

1. What is the Miracle of Christmas?
2. What is the significance of Isaiah 9:1-7?
3. How does someone come into the LIGHT of Jesus?
4. What can people do to experience their most special Christmas ever?
5. Prayer for an UNCOMMON Christmas blessing.

WFJ: THE MIRACLE OF CHRISTMAS IS CHRIST!

Take the tour of the Word and be free in Christ. CHRISTMAS IS A SEASON FOR MIRACLES BUT EVERY DAY IS A MIRACLE IN CHRIST! TO BE IN CHRIST IS THE GREATEST MIRACLE OF ALL.

SALVATION IS THE GREATEST MIRACLE OF ALL. It is God’s free gift to all mankind. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him shall be saved (have eternal life).(John 3:16).

What is so miraculous is that SALVATION IS THE “GREAT EXCHANGE!” MAN GIVES GOD HIS IMPERFECT, BROKEN, SINFUL LIFE IN EXCHANGE FOR A PERFECT (COMPLETE) LIFE IN CHRIST. JESUS GIVES HIS ALL FOR OUR ALL!

When you receive Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, the LIGHT OF THE WORLD – THE CANDLE OF MAN, comes into your heart to show you the most excellent way of all to live. IT IS THE WAY OF LOVE BECAUSE GOD IS LOVE.

In this “GREAT EXCHANGE,” your old sinful man dies and the new man comes alive in Christ. CHRIST LIVES THROUGH YOU to live the perfect will of God which is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. (Romans 14:17).

Unity of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is your inheritance as a born again child of God. IT IS A LIFE OF VICTORY AND TOTAL PROVISION. To be one with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is to be free from every bondage of sin and to be free to experience the fullness and abundance of life in Christ Jesus. JESUS IS THE DOOR TO FREEDOM AND TOTAL FULFILLMENT.

Jesus’ arms are open wide and ALL THAT BELONGS TO THE FATHER OF LIGHTS IS YOURS WHEN YOU SAY “YES” TO JESUS who is the express image and likeness of God, and His Kingdom of Love becomes yours!

IT IS A SUPERNATURAL GIFT OF DIVINE INFUSION AND PROPORTION AND IS THE GREATEST MIRACLE OF ALL! Become one with the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. ALLOW THE PRINCE OF PEACE TO RULE IN YOUR HEART FOREVERMORE, for God set eternity in the heart of man. He loves YOU so much and nothing will ever separate YOU from His love.

LET THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD LIGHT YOUR PATH AND BE A BEACON OF HOPE TO ALL MANKIND. THE KING OF GLORY HAS CHOSEN AND MADE A WAY TO TAKE UP RESIDENCE IN YOUR HEART AND BE YOUR KING AND PRINCE OF PEACE. SAY YES TO HIM AND THE KINGDOM IS YOURS!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL. The Redeemer wants to take all of you in your imperfection and transform you into the likeness of Christ. RECEIVE THE GREATEST GIFT KNOWN TO MANKIND AND LIVE “THE GREAT ADVENTURE” IN CHRIST. NOTHING CAN COMPARE TO THIS INDECSRIBABLE GIFT OF PURE AND PERFECT LOVE. It is greater than anything you ever wanted for Christmas for it is the desire of your heart. RECEIVE GOD’S GIFT AND SPEND THE REST OF YOUR NATURAL LIFE AND ETERNITY UNWRAPPING JESUS, GOD’S GIFT OF HIMSELF WHO IS PERFECT LOVE. THERE IS NO END TO LOVE. REJOICE AND BE AT PEACE. IMMANUEL HAS COME!

RECEIVE ALL OF THE GREATEST MIRACLE WHO EVER WAS OR IS TO COME! Let Christ have free reign in your heart and become His walking talking miracle and witness to all mankind. Your light has come. BE GLORIFIED IN HIS ETERNAL PRESENCE.

I LOVE YOU, MY CHILD. BE MADE WHOLE. ENTER THE JOY OF THE LORD. MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM THE PERFECT LOVER OF YOUR SOUL! BE SATISFIED IN ME. I AM YOUR FULFILLMENT AND HEART’S DESIRE. SHALOM.

Love in Jesus,

Prayer Power

If you don’t know Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior, please say this prayer out loud from your heart and you shall be saved and come into God’s Kingdom of Love.

Father God, I believe in my heart that you sent your Son Jesus to die on the cross for me. I believe Jesus paid my sin debt in full. It was a debt I could not repay and it was a debt Jesus did not owe. Thank You, Jesus. I accept your perfect gift and sacrifice. Come into my heart and be my Lord and Savior. Baptize me in the power of your Holy Spirit and I will serve you all the days of my life! I am saved! I am free! Thank you, in Jesus name. Amen.

May you allow the God of all hope and the Prince of Peace to rule in your heart this day and forevermore. May this truly be your most significant Christmas ever as the FULLNESS of the gift of God’s LOVE FOR YOU, becomes an everyday reality in your life!

I BLESS YOU with the joy, laughter, and peace of God! I BLESS YOU with God’s amazing grace! I pray this in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.

God is on the move and doing amazing things in this earth! He continues to draw the body of Christ together in unity for His purposes. People may not be aware of all or see all that the Lord is doing but He truly is “CONNECTING THE DOTS”.

THE MOMENTUM OF THE WFJ GLOBAL MOVEMENT IS BUILDING UP SPEED. The dam is about to break free and there will be undeniable evidence of God’s hand moving on His People. THE YOUTH WILL PLAY A BIG PART IN THE AWAKENING THAT WILL COME FORTH!

Upon awakening this morning I received a WFJ (Word From Jesus). It was just in time and so appropriate for the second webinar of three taking place at 8AM today. Dr. Joseph Peck was hosting the Words From Jesus: How To Hear God’s Voice Webinar. Today’s topic was “The $14,400 Miracles!” The guest panelists were Doug Barclay, Bob Sims, and Bertha Hinson. During this life-changing, world changing webinar, they shared what Dr. Peck considered to be their BIGGEST GOD STORY FOR THE PAST SEVEN YEARS!

Without knowing what was going to be said today, this is what Jesus spoke to my heart. It’s so amazing how He is always right on time and right on target!

WFJ: SEEDTIME AND HARVEST

Now is the time of seedtime and harvest. I AM MOVING IN THIS EARTH IN UNUSUAL WAYS. I am the Lord of the Harvest. As long as the earth remains there is seedtime and harvest. I am planting My Word in the hearts of My people worldwide and they are speaking it out and it will bear much fruit. I DO NOT COMPROMISE MY WORD. It does not return void and it is accomplished.

MY WORD WILL BRING BILLIONS OF SOULS INTO MY KINGDOM. The Great Commission is going forth. I am also calling My people to sow financial seeds to bring in this end time harvest. SEEDS SOWN IN MY NAME FOR MY PURPOSES WILL REAP A GOD SIZED HARVEST. SPREAD MY WORD. SPREAD YOUR GIVING AND PARTAKE OF MY GLORY.

I bless you and invite you to enter My joy in the name of Jesus!

Your soon coming King!

Love in Jesus,

• Title: The $14,400 Miracles
• Series: Words From Jesus: How to hear God’s voice
• Date/Time: Saturday December 12, 2009, 8 am EST
• Facilitator: Holy Spirit
• Host: Dr. Joseph Peck
• Panelists:
  - Doug Barclay: Regional Director in Partner Relations for Operation Mobilization (OM USA)
  - Bob Sims: Visionary of visionaries; Estensive business and ministry experience
  - Bertha Hinson: founder of Beauty From Ashes TV and His Gateway
  - Abigail Slocum: founder of God Whispers

In October 2002, I first met Doug Barclay at a Fellowship of Christian Athletes retreat at The Cove in Asheville, NC. As a result of our discussion, Doug left his full-time job in sales to pursue full-time ministry work with Operation Mobilization.

Through a most peculiar series of circumstances, I was eventually prompted by the Holy Spirit to sow an UNCOMMON $14,4000 (12 x $1,200) seed into Doug’s life in February 2003, which was my largest financial gift up to that time. It so happened this was the exact amount (to the dollar) Doug needed to begin work with Operation Mobilization and he began his new job on 03-03-03. Coincidence? I don’t think so. Numbers are significant to God.

An UNCOMMON seed always yields an UNCOMMON harvest. An UNCOMMON seed is one inspired by Holy Spirit for a God-sized result.

Here is what we covered …

“By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit;” (John 15:8a)

P.S. At the Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders in the U.K. earlier this year, the primary word received was “no more business as usual.”

P.S.S. Do you sense a nudge to sow a $14,400 seed into God’s billion soul vision? If so, please call Dr. Joseph Peck (540-547-4240).

Today (December 5, 2009) is a historical day because the “WFJ GLOBAL MOVEMENT” WAS LAUNCHED!!! Dr. Randy Peck hosted the Webinar (WFJ) WORDS FROM JESUS: HOW TO HEAR GOD’S VOICE. The topic was “The Spiritual Triangle Between Virginia, the U.K. and Italy. His guest panelists were Renato and Patrizia Amato from Italy and Lynne Lee from the U.K.

You may be wondering what is this WFJ GLOBAL MOVEMENT? Simply put it is the worldwide sharing of the Words From Jesus one receives in their quiet time with the Lord Jesus Christ. It is the spiritual discipline of “Two Way Journaling,” namely written dialogue/prayer. This habit bears extraordinary fruit and creates major transformation. When shared it is wonderfully multiplied.

Renato and Patrizia have been missionaries for many years. They both have been journaling and recording the words they hear from Jesus for a long time. Renato began posting these “LIFE GIVING” words in his blog and called them WFJ (Words From Jesus). Other life time two way journalists: Lynne Lee , Dr. Randy Peck, Bertha Hinson and myself also began posting our own WFJ in our blogs.

We truly believe this is a God inspired idea led by the Holy Spirit to create a worldwide WFJ MOVEMENT. It will cause millions of people to desire to hear from God for themselves through two way journaling. Now more than any other time in history, people need to hear from God. People are so desperate and hungry to know that God loves them and has a purpose for their lives. He cares for them and wants to direct their lives step by step. God designed every human heart for relationship. God’s burning desire is to have an abiding intimate relationship with each one of us.

Long beore the Webinar began, the Lord woke me up at precisely 6:12 AM and prompted me to begin praying in the spirit and interceding with resurrection power for Dr. Randy Peck’s webinar today and for the WFJ GLOBAL MOVEMENT to begin with a bang!

The number 6:12 is significant.

6 is the # for man. I AM INTERCEDING FOR:

1. The eyes of man to be opened to this God-sized WFJ move of God.
2. The ears of man to be opened to this truth: UPON THIS WFJ ROCK OF REVELATION JESUS WILL BUILD HIS CHURCH”
3. The hearts of man to be drawn like magnets all over the world by the power of the Holy Spirit to this call of God to come to Jesus and His Word.
4. I pray for God to stir up a deep desire for men, women and children to want to learn how to two way journal so they can hear the voice of God for themselves and then publish His Word to the world.
5. I declare in Jesus name that the mouth of the enemy is being slammed shut and the Words of Jesus are exponentially exploding in the earth to overcome every lie.
6. Every knee of man will bow and every tongue of man will confess that JESUS IS LORD!

The number 12 is significant.

1. Twelve is the number for government and apostolic authority.
2. For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given: And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. (Isaiah 9:6)
3. Twelve is the number of tribes of Israel. I CALL the tribes of the Lion of Judah to ARISE and take their rightful place in the plan of God and to spread the GOOD NEWS to the ends of the earth with the WORDS OF JESUS!

I want to invite and encourage everyone reading this to become a part of this vital worldwide move of God. Remember that “Two Way Journaling is God’s Supernatural HIGHway to His Heart!” Just start where you are!

Be blessed and go in the name of Jesus today knowing that WE ARE HISTORYMAKERS DECLARING THE WORDS FROM JESUS TO A DYING WORLD GROANING FOR THE SONS OF MAN TO BE MANIFEST IN THIS EARTH!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL FOR THE BEST CHRISTMAS EVER IN JESUS NAME!

In Christ,

P.S. Psalm 127:1 Unless the LORD builds the house, They labor in vain who build it; Unless the LORD guards the city, The watchman stays awake in vain.

P.S.S. “The business of the church is PRAYER!” – Holy Spirit

———————————————

Doing the same thing and expecting a different result is said to be the definition of frustration. Many times I need to step outside of my normal routine to discover new solutions to the challenges in business. Today’s business environment is compelling us to find new ways to develop the profit needed to grow our businesses.

One of the best ways to get this process going is to ask the right questions. For example, what are the changing behaviors of my customers? Should I revisit my business concept? What should my strategy be in light of changing competition? How do I identify and benefit from changing trends in my business environment. Or, are there new and better ways to market my services?

Locally, we have a wealth of easy access resources for businesses to find answers to these questions and so much more. As I have mentioned many times, Germanna’s Community College System is focused and committed to the growth and development of education for local business needs. They offer both credit and non-credit courses that equip businesses with tools for their business success. Also, the Small Business Development Center is now located on East Davis Street in Old Town Culpeper. The center offers direct access to some of the best business information for small business development. Much of this information is free and easy to take advantage of.

In addition, The Chamber of Commerce offers programs and educational opportunities for the businesses in our community. We are working closely with Culpeper County Department of Economic Development, Culpeper Renaissance, Inc., and the Culpeper Department of Tourism to bring a program for our retail and restaurant businesses. On September 9th, we will provide a seminar funded largely by Culpeper Renaissance, Inc., that will answer many of the questions about the new economy in retail. This is a must attend event for retailers in preparation for the holiday season. You will not want to miss out on the new ideas as you consider your holiday retail plans.

The Technology Council of the Culpeper Chamber of Commerce will also be offering a Web 2.0 online course thru one of our Chamber members. The course is an 8 week course offering an extensive understanding of this powerful marketing tool. Brick and Mortar businesses can extend their customer base globally by knowing the new tools of web 2.0. Go to the Chamber website for a link to the online course information. www.CulpeperChamber.com. The course begins on September 8th.

Finding the answers for your business may mean getting out to the next seminar. Or, it may be that you are able to find the answers from the comfort of your business location thru an online course. Either way, your success is determined by your actions. Change your daily routine to change your fortune. Education is the key to preparation. Preparation is the key to capitalizing on opportunities when they come your way. Take advantage of the opportunities to fine tune your business. They are so easy to find and so worth the investment. Can you afford not too?

Let another man praise you, and not your own mouth;
A stranger, and not your own lips. (Proverbs 27:2)

How much value do you place on the testimonies
of those who a person well?

The praises and testimonies you are about to read all came from friends who know me very well – people who have personally experienced the fruit of my journaling. I met nearly all of them since reading “The Greatest Salesman In The World” in 2000. Next to the Bible that book influenced me more than any other I have ever read.

Each person sharing his or her praise has made a big difference in my life and I have made a big difference in theirs. That is what covenant relationships are all about – two-way relationships in which people meet the needs of one another and bless one another.

Our God is a “covenant God” – a God of covenant relationships. Very few followers of Jesus fully grasp the significance of this in terms of their relationships with other people and their success in the marketplace.

One of the five laws of sowing and reaping is that you reap where you sow. In other words, if I sow good seed into your life, it is reasonable to expect a harvest from you. To put it another way, when someone blesses me, God expects me to bless them.

One of the reasons the Jewish people prosper so greatly as a whole in the marketplace is they understand covenant relationships and the principles of sowing and reaping.

The Holy Spirit prompted me to include hyperlinks to the websites and blogs of those who have impacted me greatly because I am a CONNECTOR IN CHRIST. Though me, God is connecting YOU to these life and world changers. Contact them as the Holy Spirit leads you. These people can and will open doors for you. They will partner with some of you. As the Nike slogan says, “Just do it!” Or as God says, “Be strong and of good courage!”

Dr. Randy Peck has become an uncommon follower of an uncommon Man…the Lord Jesus Christ! Randy models our Savior by manifesting the fruit of the Holy Spirit (Gal. 5:22-23). A large part of Randy’s maturity has been because he is mastering journaling. Dr. Peck’s book “UNCOMMON Journaling for Breakthroughs” will mirror his heart – a heart that is seeking God’s heart.

Rev. Mark Jarvis
Founder and President, Champion Learning Centers

——————————–

Randy Peck is an incredible leader with a heart that reflects Christ at all times. Randy has an insatiable desire to help others through divinely inspired insight and discernment. While Randy is a client, he also is a provider of web and internet marketing services. He is a leader in social networks, blogs and journaling. I believe that Randy is the foremost journaler of all times. He inspires others through his God given ability helping others see their gifting while encouraging them to activate plans of action meeting their goals. Randy remains an accountability partner to help others soar! That’s Randy, a gifted medical doctor and life coach extraordinaire!!

Ben Stewart

“I don’t know anyone that has become a student, or master, of journaling to the level of Randy Peck. He has a passion for sharing with others, the gifts of journaling – some of those gifts include focus, organization, personal life impact and the simple yet powerful capture of life’s moments and memories.

Randy has probably spent a good part of a year distilling, developing and perfecting how to best communicate, share and teach others the life transforming skill of journaling. He conducted several online webinars/seminars that gave him the opportunity to optimize the best way to share his material. In addition, he now has several testimonies of people that have benefitted from learning and applying journaling in their lives. Many are now reaping the life changing impact of this powerful habit, that Randy himself has benefitted from personally for several years.”

Michael Stay
President & CEO, Core Impact, Inc., Strategists For Market Pre-Eminence

——————————–

There is so much to be said about the spoken word. The Bible says in the beginning God spoke and the Holy Spirit was hovering over the water to respond to the spoken word. In the same way the prophets prophesied and the Holy Spirit was there to respond to the word. Through journaling, the word is written, again the Holy Spirit is there to respond to the word. I see an incredible awakening in the spirit of people who journal. Thoughts are written and later reflections in the journal reveal how the Holy Spirit has intervened. It’s amazing. It’s supernatural. It’s a real spirit builder. Scales begin to fall off your eyes and humbles one to desire the will of God.

Butch Mills

——————————–

I met Randy right around the time that he began his faith walk with Jesus. We struck up a friendship that has lasted and grown. I may have been one of the first people to introduce Randy to journaling. Randy, though, is a voracious and quick learner. What I casually suggested as a simple tool and habit, Randy has latched onto, perfected, and used as the cornerstone of personal and spiritual growth. Today, I am learning from him in the arena of journaling and personal leadership. Randy may be the most organized, focused, productive person I know. He attributes most of his personal development and success to journaling, and as a close friend who would love to achieve half of what Randy accomplishes, I would agree: Journaling is the lead domino in his life.

You have blessed me and everyone you’ve met and it is I who feel humbled. I thank God every day for your spirit and your mentorship. You are a phenomenal “coach” and you practice what you preach.

You are the power networker who has brought us all together. Thank you for being such a willing servant.

You are the most positive person I know… I’ve admired your perseverance this year … you have touched so many lives and God has given you convergences with the leaders in social marketing. God has trained you for this and He’s going to use you in consulting projects that are Kingdom building and exactly in step with the desires of your heart. With your intercessors on board I feel it happening right now!!!

Randy is the greatest dreamer I have ever known!

LORD, help us to be better Samaritans… That is our primary command . And this story (Good Samaritan) is the essence of the MTC story… And this is the story that we ask You to help us tell the world… And as I was thinking about this word Samaritan, I can’t think of anyone who better exemplifies ‘Samaritan’ than Randy.” (Virginia’s prayer on Feb 10, 2009)

I have developed strong relationships with almost every coach I have ever been blessed to work with, but the relationship between Randy and me has proved to be very special. While he has been an extremely receptive student of coaching, I would have to say that I often feel I have learned more from working with Randy than he could possibly have learned from me. He has truly become my peer mentor.

Of all of the people that I have ever met, Randy (Peck) is the person who best exemplifies the notion that God can do exceedingly abundantly beyond all that we can ask or think.

You can’t be around Dr. Randy Peck very long without hearing him tell about how journaling has impacted his life. Randy shares freely and frequently with all how journaling has, time after time, helped him to put together the “pieces of the puzzle” and brought him clarity on how God is speaking to him. As he puts it, journaling continues to be the “lead domino” of his life. The benefits he has realized from recording his own daily walk of faith have led him to develop a system which can be taught to others.

God has inspired Randy to set some “God-sized” goals for his personal life, one of which is to impact one billion souls for Christ. I believe that his development of this journaling system falls right in line with this goal, in that the intent is to influence every recipient in such a way that they too will begin to see more clearly through journaling how God is speaking to them each day, that they will therefore be able to share these God-experiences with others. Thank-you, Dr. Peck!

The challenge about journaling was CLEAR. Thanks for being the best journaler in the universe. I am believing my log jam to break apart.

When we look back in American History it seems evident that more than a few of our founding fathers really had a deep love for the new nation. It is increasingly rare to find leaders today who give you a sense that they really love their city, state or country. More often than not civic leaders today seem more concerned with themselves and their political careers than with the people they supposedly serve. I had the privilege of meeting someone recently who actually appears to genuinely love the city and state in which he resides. He is Dr. Randy Peck. Randy has such a love for his city Culpeper and Virginia that it exudes out of him in almost every conversation he holds. It is said that one speaks out of the abundance of his heart and I can testify that Dr. Peck has both Culpeper and the state of Virginia deep in his heart. I have never met someone who has such a genuine love for his city and state as this man.

Hi Randy & Julia, AJ and I can’t thank each of you enough so that you would know how much you blessed us over the weekend. You are such a great couple. Your hospitality was tremendous and we really enjoyed just being in your home and company. Your group really blessed AJ and me. It is truly the first success story we have had. We have never had anyone come alongside us like the two of you. It is truly a God send. Randy, you have an amazing gift that transcends any single gift. You go wide and deep in your thinking and planning. Your mind doesn’t stop.

Hi Randy, Thank you so much. Your group was far and away the best group I have ever met. I’ll never forget the meeting we had following the process. (January 29, 2009)

Dr. Peck brings many innate qualities that are essential for a successful person. His organizational skills are without equal – no one I’ve ever met has been more organized yet thoughtful of any task before him… An outstanding personal character trait is the simple- his word is his bond, he always did what he said he would do and worked tirelessly to fulfill his obligations both on an administrative and personal level… A great team player he gave freely of himself to instruct, but was also willing to listen to others- he could see the Big Picture through the prism of all the necessary details.
