I get a lot of questions as to how I got started in ministry. So, this month I'd like to share with you my personal motivation to enter the ministry of Jesus Christ, develop my ministry and dedicate so much of my time to it.

First of all, you need to know that I am not a religious person. I'm no more altruistic than anyone else is. I'm not in this for gold stars or brownie points when I stand before Jesus. And I certainly am not in this for Heaven.

Now I do love people, and desire to help them to reach their destiny and to receive all the good things that God has provided for them. And, I want to help people, particularly Christians, to get and stay saved, healed and delivered. And I do want to help them grow from being followers into influential Christian leaders. But all that had nothing to do with my primary motivation for ministry.

My primary motivation for ministry was, and is, simply this: The devil tried to kill me, and that ticked me off! Actually, in retrospect, the devil has lied to me, deceived me, hurt me, harmed me, stollen form me, destroyed the work of my hands and has repeatedly tried to kill me. But this last time, his attempt on my life took me down to the very depths of the vally of the shadow of death. Down to the very point of giving up the fight.

And guess what? Now it's PAY BACK TIME!

So let me ask you a question. Has the devil ever lied to you, deceived you, hurt you, harmed you, stollen form you, destroyed the work of your hands or tried to kill you or a loved one? If so, that OUGHT to tick YOU off too!

As we begin 2012, I invite you to join with me and other partners and friends of Tim Greenwood Ministries to do as much damage to the devil's kindom as we are physically and financially able to do throughout this entire year.

How? We're going to get more people saved, more people healed, more people delivered from things that are holding them down than ever before. We are going to develop an army of bold Christians that know how to resist the devil at every turn and how to take back all the ground that has been lost over the years.

But in order to do this effectivey, we are going to need your help. First, I ask that you commit to become a monthly financial partner with TGM throughout 2012. The amount that you commit to is less important to me than being able to depend on that amount coming in every month. Second, we solicit your daily prayers for us and this ministry. And third, from time to time we need volunteers to help us complete projects in a timely manner.

Therefore, please read the "How Can You Help TGM" section of this newsletter and respond accordingly. TGM

How many times a day do we allow negative confessions to pop out of our mouths? "I'm no good at mathmatics." "That's too hard for me, I can't do it." We could never afford a big house like that!" Unless we have been taught differently, we unwittingly open the door for the thief to steal the blessings that are rightfully ours.

Many lifelong Christians are still just "doing the best they can." The best we can do on our own isn't what God the Father wants for us. He's got His own plans - "I know the plans I have for you.plans to give you hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11). We who are called must learn to make Him our true and faithful Partner. Why? Because I can do all things through Christ, (the anointed one), who strengthens me (Philippians 4:13).

All the way back in Deuteronomy, before Jesus came to sacrifice Himself, God told us what we could have, what we could be, (or not), depending on our choice. Deuteronomy 30, commonly called the blessing and cursing chapter, details what God says we CAN have if we choose life. We are choosing life or death every minute of every day, with every thought, word and deed. We are mindful to control our deeds, and probably rather successful at controlling our thoughts-after all, we have clear instruction from the Father to bring every thought into captivity by listening and heeding what Christ, (the anointed one), said and did.

But that little member, the tongue, can be as out of control as a raging bull before we catch ourselves. In everyday conversation, people's words are filled with fear and defeat, and that spirit infects God's family almost before they realize it. "That just scared me to death.., I'm afraid I may lose my job., I think I'm catching the flu." We are the only ones who CAN turn this around - but the Father shows us how in His Word.

Remember the woman with the issue of blood? Twelve years she had suffered with this malady. But she came into the public arena, where she was forbidden to go, and touched Jesus' garment. And she said, "I can be made whole, if I will but touch His garment" (Matthew 9:21 paraphrased). The result of her faith - her "I can" statement - she was made whole from that hour.

In that same sequence of events, a certain ruler came to Jesus with news of his daughter's death. If Jesus would come and lay His hand on her, she would live. "I can have my daughter's life back."

No weapon formed against you shall prosper.this is the heritage of the servants of the Lord (Isaiah 54:17) "I can have safety, health, peace through faith in God."

I will give unto you the keys of the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 16:19).

Therefore, daily, we need to recall in our minds, know in our hearts and say with our mouths, "I CAN have all that God has said that I can have; I CAN do all that God has said that I can do; And, I CAN be all that God has said that I can be." And if you do, you will see those miracles start happening in your life, because miracles really do come in cans.
