We see JESUS lifted HIGH. We see millions of souls and spirits being saved and reconciled to unity with God and with each other in heart, lifestyle, and in places with a positive and exciting atmosphere. We see concerts fully packed, churches fully packed, parties fully packed, and houses fully packed with people communicating with God, receiving the Word, fellowshipping, receiving healing, and receiving deliverance. We see bold public ministry with people receiving the Word, receiving healing, and receiving deliverance. We see the Body of Christ as one family, not divided by organization or denomination, but unified in the mind and mouth about the doctrine of Christ.

We see Kingdom disciples and holy warriors that are fully committed to Jesus` Kingdom with the words of their mouth, music of their heart, and images of their minds. We see Promoters, DeeJays, Musicians, Producers, Emcees, Lead Vocalists, Dancers, Graphic Artists, Actors, Speakers, Writers, Media Executives, Publishers, Public Relations people, Event Planners, School Teachers, Preachers, Youth Ministers, Business People, COLLEGE STUDENTS, and HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS that are Friends of God and Warriors in Jesus' Kingdom. They HATE the world's twisted ways and useless traditions. They LOVE and Serve GOD and the people in their Community and are winning souls to JESUS by the THOUSANDS!

Mission

We will fill the Detroit Area, and beyond with lifestyle disciples of Jesus (friends of God), by speaking the truth in love, and using music, websites, audio/video, live events, bible studies, fellowships, prayer meetings, and community service. This is to cause an increase of:

1. Growth in the Kingdom of Jesus- Individually & Corporately (Matthew 6, Acts 2)

2. Unity in the Body of Christ- Truth, Fellowship (John 17, 1 John 1)

3. Music to Fill your Heart- With the Word & Spirit of God (Colossians 3:16 Ephesians 5:18-19)

The DANGERS of Being Distracted

Do you feel aimless as if you're living in a fog from day to day? Do you feel like you're living life not sure of what you're accomplishing or what your next move should be? Do you feel irritated by where you've found yourself? If you've answered yes to any of these questions then you may be living a distracted life. Read on to see how living a distracted life can be costly to not only you but to people who are under your leadership as well.

Heritage dictionary defines distracted as to cause to turn away from the original focus of attention or interest; divert. To pull in conflicting emotional directions; unsettle.

A synonym for distracted is divert. I like this word because its definition explains in a more detailed way what happens when we are distracted or diverted. Diverted means to turn aside or from to draw off to a different course, purpose, a path or course; deflect. to distract from serious occupation; entertain or amuse.

COSTLY
Being distracted can be very costly. Looking at the incident of Israel's first king, Saul we see how being distracted is costly to not only you as an individual but it can be costly to others around you. Starting in I Samuel 18:8-9 we see King Saul being distracted by a number of things and the first one being jealousy. Saul is distracted from his kingly duties because the woman are praising David more than Saul by saying David has killed tens of thousands while Saul has killed only thousands. From this point on Saul devotes the majority of his life to hunting David. Instead of Saul building his kingdom, strengthening his army, keeping the Philistines under control and doing mighty things for our Lord he is completely distracted, walking in disobedience and eventually loses his position as king all because he refused to not become distracted by jealousy.

PEOPLE PLEASING
Another issue that caused Saul to become distracted is people pleasing. In I Samuel 15 Saul receives specific instruction from the Lord (by way of Samuel) to fight the Amalekkites and "DESTROY EVERYTHING!" The Lord is very very specific here and nothing is suppose to make it alive from this attack. No sheep, cattle, king, women, NOTHING! Instead of King Saul following these specific instructions he decided to preserve the Amalekite King (Agag) along with the best sheep, fat cattle, and lambs. When confronted by Samuel about this decision, Saul quickly blames it on "the people" by saying "I was afraid of the people and I did what they said." People pleasing is the easiest way to get out of the will of God. As followers of Christ we must reach a point where we are not distracted from where God wants us to go because we are so concerned with what others will say and do. In fact, as the world continues to get further and further from the teachings of Christ doing the right thing will become less and less popular. Even less popular than they are now (if you can even imagine that!). So right now you need to make up in your mind that you won't be distracted by trying to please people.

DISTRACTED BY GOOD
As people of God we must be careful not to become distracted by good things. As the saying goes, you must decipher if it's a good thing or a God thing. With this crazy culture of busyness we live in most of us feel guilty when we take time for ourselves just to relax. Many of us our so busy doing godly things that we are missing God all together. We are leading Bible studies but haven't heard a word from God. We're leading worship but haven't stopped to find out what God wants us to sing. Take this as a word of caution to not become distracted by good things as well. If it's coming in between you and God, it's not that good.
In conclusion consider who is depending on you to live a life of focus and purpose. Think about how life would have been different for Saul, his children, David, and the entire kingdom had Saul not been distracted. Saul's lineage in the Bible would have been greater and the Lord could've used him to do so much more. I encourage everyone to spend some personal time with the Lord so that He can tell you what you should be involved in and what you should let go. Remember, you want to accomplish all the things the Lord has for you to do. You weren't meant to do EVERYTHING.

Finally, consider what life would've been like if Jesus had come to earth and became distracted. What if He had never gone to the cross on our behalf? I encourage all to spend time with the Lord and allow Him to refocus you and set your path straight again.
