Hey! Hey! Ho! Ho!

By Darrel E. Stott

I love the Christmas season. It is an amazing time of Joy and Celebration!

When I was a boy growing up in western Canada each family in our small community was very concerned during the Christmas season about how long their toboggan was. A toboggan is a flat wooden sleigh that more than two people can ride. The longer the toboggan is the more people can ride it. For us children to go fast through the snow down a long hill with six or more people was so exciting.

When I was a child I had no idea that not everyone in the world went riding in the snow at Christmas.

We would make large snow men and decorate them. We used black coal for the eyes and a carrot for the nose. Every year we would build walls from snow to make a fort then we would hide behind and have snow ball wars with the neighbors. This was so much fun!

Later in my life I went to Indonesia and Australia. I remember preparing for Christmas in Australia. I was in for one big shock!

I went out to buy a large turkey for Christmas in the store and they did not have any. How could this be? Most everyone in Canada had a big turkey on the table to eat Christmas day.

What did we eat on Christmas day in Australia? We bought some sausages and put on our bathing suits and went to the ocean for a “barbe”. I did not know a “barbe” was a barbeque. Yes it is true! We were swimming and have a barbeque on Christmas day.

Let's remember that each country celebrates the Christmas season in a different way.

Let me share a couple Christmas lessons I learned:

1) Do not expect other people and their gifts to make you happy.

Our happiness and Joy should come from our personal relationship

with Jesus Christ. Many people are selfish and unkind. This is

their problem but they are not the ones we depend on for

happiness. We are to have an intimate, thankful relationship with

Jesus Christ.

2) Be thankful for all things. Many times I read of this in the Bible.

But my entire life changed when I began thanking God for the

good things and also thanking God for the bad things that

happened to me my life was dramatically changed. God is very

interested in developing our character. Our response to bad

people and things is of great importance to him.

3) My life has been so blessed by having the privilege of being with

the poor and needy. One day I was chatting with some people as

we sat in the ruins of their homes that had been destroyed by an

earth quake in Indonesia.

As we chatted I never heard one of them complain. They had no

insurance for rebuilding and little money. But they relaxed and

served me tea and chatted as we discussed the earth quake and

watched the children plan

4) Learn the secret of bring joy to others in need. You may not have

poor people around you but there may be people who recently lost

a family member. Others recently went through divorce or found

out they are sick. What about those who do not have a joy and are

trying to make it on a very few dollars. What can you do to bring a

smile to their face?

5) We must learn to draw our energy, strength and personal Joy for

Jesus and the small important things around us.

I pray that God will make you a blessing to others this Christmas. What a wonderful thing when we love those close to us but are not too busy to focus on others around us who we can bring the love of Jesus too

Why Do People JOKE with you?

When People JOKE with YOU!

-Darrel E Stott

Cultures are Different

I remember my first trip to the country of Australia.The country and people were beautiful but the some of the things in the culture were shocking to me. An example is as I was ministering in the city of Sydney and I assumed the culture was the same as America.

After the meeting we went to a house for food and coffee. Immediately very blunt joking began. They picked on each other joking about the size of their nose, being fat or how big their ears were. And it went on and on. What one person would say the others would say something worse. I felt so sorry for the person being picked on.

Later they explained to me the culture of Australia: “Darrel if no one picks on you saying terrible things about you and your body it means they do not like you. The more they like you the more they will joke with you saying terrible things.

Wow I was so glad they said terrible things about me.

I made some bad mistakes in Australia.

I quickly learned Australia has so much slang, Musicians are called Muso’s and a barbeque is called a “Barbie”. But I did not know that some of our words from North America are swearing in Australia. After my preaching they would say “Darrel please do not ever use that word again”.

An important lesson that I learned?

In most countries of the world if people joke with you in any way it means they see you as a friend and like you.

Because I joke much I am offend misunderstood

When my mother was 78 yrs old just before her death one day she told me this: “Darrel I am your mother and I still cannot tell when you are joking and when you are telling the truth.”

Many times when I joke with friends I keep a straight face and do not smile. Therefore they assume I am not joking. I love to do this!

BUT… (oh oh big problem)

Sometimes people get so angry with me for saying what I say. They do not understand my style of joking. It will always be true.

*But if friends are friends they do not stop communicating but they will try to learn how understand and communicate better

A real friend will try to joke and get even with the person who played a joke on them

When you get ANGRY at a person’s words what does it mean?

“When revival came into my life they immediately told me this. Darrel when the words of a person offend you pay close attention to their words.

Why?

God is showing you an area of hurt or an area that needs to be healed it. Do not get angry or offended but write the word s down and pray over them”

Why do I feel inferior or insecure?

Smile! Everyone feels inferior or insecure in some way. It means you are normal!

Learn to accept yourself and laugh at yourself. If you are still frustrated then I encourage you to read some books on being “codependent”. Let God set you free to be happy and love yourself.

A Broken Heart

By Darrel Stott

“The LORD is near to them that are with a broken heart; and saves those that have a contrite spirit.” Psalms 34:18

When we are young adults beginning our lives we are excited about our futures. This is the way it should be. We have no idea what is ahead of us. If we could see 20 years into the future we would see so many good things. So many blessings come to us. But there is a strong likely hood that we will also go through some testing times.

When I was 22 yrs old I attended a pastor conference and the speaker was talking about people who God uses. As he shared his words upset me. His opinion was that God would not use any man or woman that he has not tested.

As he explained the testing he shared how God would attempt to break our hearts with life circumstances in order that we reach out to him and secondly that we identify with others who go through hard times. He encouraged us to prepare for the difficult times as well as the good times. All he did was make me angry.

When I left the meeting I said this. “If that is what happens to people who God chooses to use then I do not want to be used of God.”

Many Years Later

Now I reflect on my ministry as I travel to many countries around the world. It is true that the effectiveness that I have comes as a result of the “breaking process” that God took me through.

Today I write to those of you who are in the middle of difficult times. You pray and nothing happens and God seems to avoid helping you. I fully understand what you are going through.

How God Broke me

Death

When I began my ministry I often spoke on Abraham laying his son on the altar. Then I would challenge the people to give their all to Jesus Christ and not hold anything back. I had no idea in just a few months I would stand by the grave of my wife with our little girl Jodi feeling so alone and wanting to quit.

I had no motivation to go on. My thoughts were totally confused with no understanding of the ways of God. How could God allow this to happen?

Sickness

A few years later when I wanted to marry a young lady I loved very much the doctor told me I had a terminal blood disease and would soon die. Now my little girl would also lose her father. Again I felt depressed and wanted to die.

Divorce

After marrying to a beautiful Christian lady who was my wife for almost 25 years I learned she did not love me and was involved with another man.

This was the total end for me. I think I had three or more small nervous breakdowns. I wish I had been stronger but I was not. This was totally too much for me to absorb.

Rejection and Abandonment

Then my total ministry itinerary cancelled on me and I was left alone in the Christian world. Most of my Christian friends ignored me. I had no place to live and no purpose in life.

I never once asked God to help me with my future but I would pray over and over if God loved me to please take me to heaven out of my broken heart.

I am not proud of how I responded but it is truthful. I did not blame anyone I just wanted out of the pain. If I was reaping what I sowed then it is too much for me. I could not imagine hell being worse. The pain I was now feeling was so intense that I had never imagined anything so bad.

When I was a young pastor I preached many funerals but never understood what those left behind felt.

So many times people are told they have cancer or AIDS and I gave them a scripture and advice but never felt their fear of dying and leaving their family.

I can remember grown men coming in my office falling on their knees crying like babies telling me their wife had left them for another man. I knew nothing of their pain. I was totally insensitive and reacted with religion.

What I went through was hell for me. It was a breaking beyond words to where I had nothing only Jesus. As I could not sleep I would walk the floor night after night. There was only Jesus and me. If I was ever going to come out of my hell it would only be the help of Jesus who allowed it.

The breaking in my life brought positive change in me

Now when I stand with those who have lost a loved one I have few words to say only a hug and a look but I feel their pain.

When I look in the eyes full of AIDS and CANCER I feel their hopeless and pain. The scripture and advice may be slow in coming.

When I whisper to them “You are going to be okay” I really mean it as I remember my own struggles. If God could restore me then I also believe He can restore others

Final Thoughts:

Not everything bad comes from God but he allows the trials and testing. There is a purpose in these painful times.

My advice is that instead of asking to be delivered from the testing of your faith do this:

1) “Embrace the Trail”

Ask God to use the test to change and mature you. Take a minute by minute approach than an hour by hour. When you have learned to be a better person God will remove the test.

2) “Praise God for all Things”

We will agree that we do not like or enjoy the testing times but force yourself to “Praise God for Them”

“Always Rejoice. Pray without ceasing. In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 1Th 5:16 - 18

I am not an expert at anything. I am a bad example of being a man of faith and responding correctly.

But I know what it is like to hurt in great emotional pain, to feel fear, depression and just want to die. I have failed others and been betrayed. I have felt out of control as my nerves snapped inside me. I never thought God would use me I just wanted to escape and find peace and rest.

What I am saying is I think I relate well to others in their time of testing.

I really believe God is with you and is helping you. Yes you will make it and be stronger and more effective than ever. The bad memories never do go away but they do diminish.

As a result of our breaking I think we all will be less selfish and more understanding and more carrying.

I really care about you and my prayers are with you

In Christ

“Let God Give you His Thots!”

Php 4:7 And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep

your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Php 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Take Control of Your Mind

Making you mind think correct thoughts is a full time task for each of us! You can be having a wonderful day and then one negative thought can destroy you day!

When you are have a depressed day all it takes is one “positive thought
to change you entire day!

Why are so many Chinese and eastern people buying realist ate now in America? It has never been so cheap! They see the opportunity.

When you lose one job God can show you where a greater opportunity is to make more money than before. You must believe and expect it to happen.

When your husband divorces you it is important your life has just begun and God will bring a better man into your life.

2011-2013 is a Time of Great Opportunity

I am convinced that during the present world financial crisis that this is one of the greatest opportunities that we as Christians have ever had!

When we invite Jesus Christ in our lives we become sons and daughters of God. We are not like other people! We are joint heirs with Jesus Christ!

The plan of God is for us to prosper when others struggle. God wants us to have good health when others are sick. A financial crisis is an opportunity for you to be creative and to prosper in a greater way in your personal life.

Example: When the USA dollar goes down it is bad news for many Americans. But when you know the dollar is going to go down you prepare for it by purchasing gold then you smile as the dollar goes down.

When you see terrorist activity beginning what happens if you invest in bullet proof glass and other products? God wants us to see the opportunities when are depressed and going into despair.

In the Bible the book of Acts tells us that the plan of God is for his children to have dreams and visions from God to give you direction in your life.

I am convinced that NOW there is a wonderful anointing in the world for Christians who live in “the Glory of God” to be blessed financially!

In December 2010 God brought a wonderful anointing of “Acceleration” into my ministry. It is an anointing to bring the prophetic words to fulfillment and dreams from God into reality. Yes this is a time of great opportunity.

God Will Help You!

By Bishop Darrel E Stott

Are You Afraid?

When you are in trouble and you have no idea where to look for help what are you suppose to do? The problem allows fear to come into your life and a spirit of “torment” always accompanies FEAR. Has God sent the FEAR to you” This is what the Bible teaches us:

For God has not given us the spirit of fear; but power, and love, and a sound mind. 2Ti 1:7

What is your best option? The Bible gives this advice:

Ask God for Help through Prayer:

Call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and you shall glorify me. Psa 50:15

Call to Me (GOD) and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know (do not distinguish and recognize, have knowledge of and understand). Jer 33:3

The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knows them that trust in him. Nah 1:7

When times of testing come into our lives immediately our attention goes to the problem and fear attempts to come upon us crippling our hope and thinking process. But if we can slow our thinking and “live by what the WORD of GOD teaches us not our emotions we will be okay!

So shall they respect the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. Then when the enemy shall come in like a flood making them unable to think because of fear, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a shield of protection against the devil and stop him. Isa 59:19

"Embrace Your Frustration"

2010-09-27T05:10:00.003-07:00

By Darrel E Stott

To be “frustrated” means having experienced disappointed expectations and unfulfilled ambitions.

Everyone w.ill goes through times frustration. This is part of life. But having a correct view of your frustration can mean experiencing hopelessness, anger and depression or experiencing excitement, joy and hope. The choice is ours.
Let me share with you some lessons I have learned about my frustrations.

1) Being frustrated means a time of potential change.

I used to pray for God to remove my frustration but now I try to see the change that God wants to bring into my life.

As an example when a person finds out they are being terminated at their job it is often a very traumatic experience. What do you feel? Often you are angry because your financial security is being taken away from you. Fear will attempt to come on you that you will not be able to find another job as good as this one. How will you ever pay your bills? The fear can lead you into depression and torment. At end of the day you cannot sleep as you are overcome with anxiety.

A Correct Perspective of losing your job would be:

You recognize that you did not have the courage to quit your job and look for a better paying job. You feel inferior and lack your ability to find a better job. Now you understand that God wants to give you a promotion so in His love and wisdom he allows for you to be terminated.

Many people work at jobs they never enjoy. They do the job because it pays them a salary. But God has put talents and ideas inside of you He wants you to expand and enjoy. This is why God has allowed for you to be terminated.

Now you smile and feel great joy and physical energy to look for the promotion that God has for you. Most people have never learned this lesson. If you have the right perspective it will change many things in your life.

We need to remind ourselves that we have an enemy called the devil. His plan for our lives is to bring something into our lives to “steal our JOY”. The Joy of the Lord is our strength. When we have JOY we are strong. If the devil can rob your JOY then you become weak and vulnerable to his plan.

God has a great plan for you and your future. But the devil wants to side track you from God’s great plan and brings a detour into your life through “FEAR”. Once you are a prisoner of
FEAR you have a wrong perspective about everything. Now you will make wrong choices. Now you see the frustration as your enemy. Instead of embracing it you want it removed.

2) Frustration is the door for a “promotion” in your life.

The plan of God is bless you so that you will experience success in all areas of your life. When you read the Old Testament have you noticed how the great men and women of God were so often rich financially? This is not an accident but it is the plan of God.

When you know you are at a time of promotion in your life it releases you mind to be open to new thing, new people and new opportunities.

Now you do not look for another job that is the same but a better job, a better opportunity because God is with you! You must believe that. Remember that times of hardship and crisis are times of opportunity for the children of God. Others are afraid but we believe we are called of God to be the solution to people’s problems. Our minds are to be supernatural and filled with the wisdom of God. AMEN

When the children of Israel were going to be destroyed by the giant Goliath and everyone was full of fear the Bible tells us David had a different perspective. Remember he was young, others did not see him as qualified but he believed he was the solution to the problem.

When he looked at Goliath he smiled and said to the men ‘How much money is the reward for killing that Giant and removing this problem?” He refuses to be fearful but seizes a moment with everyone is full of fear and they have no solution. He becomes the solution.

When he solved the problem and killed the Giant Goliath it resulted in immense “promotion” in his personal life. David would have never have become king of Israel without experiencing the problem of Goliath.

In conclusion

Recognize “frustration” for what it is.

Frustration is a sign from God of change and an opportunity for promotion.

Do not listen to negative people but get alone with God and see the problems through God’s perspective.

Now you can buy a house for 4% not 14%. Is this a big saving? When many companies are going out of business this is an opportunity for NEW business. When there is high unemployment it means there are many people willing to work for a lower wage. Just get the right perspective.

Together We Can Do It

2010-07-29T07:24:00.000-07:00

I was born in Tril BC, Canada where the winters are very cold. When the winter begins the ice may not be as thick as we think. If you fall through the ice into the river or lake you will have great difficulty surviving as it is next to impossible to pull yourself onto the ice. But if you have two friends with you and they lay on the ice spreading their bodies out on the ice so they will not break through then they will be able to take your hands and pull you onto the ice. The key is “working together”r.

Add Wisdom to Knowledge

The Bible speaks about the importance of gaining Knowledge which is information. But then we are to add wisdom to the knowledge. The Bible tells us that there is wisdom in “many minds”. We ask for the opinion of others and as we listen we not only gain knowledge but the ability to use the knowledge in the best way because of the wisdom we get from others.
In business so often companies do not reach they potential as they do not know what steps they need to take to break through into great success. What is missing is the input of knowledgeable people giving them the wisdom they need.

2010-11 Are Years of Great Opportunity!

I believe that 2010-11 are years of some of the greatest opportunities for success that we have ever lived. It is true that most of the world is in a financial crisis but according to Isaiah 60: Christians who learn what the Glory of God is then enter and live in it will result in great success in their lives. God wants to receive praise and glory by displaying his favor and success on us His children during these difficult years of crisis. He receives praise and awe when other marvel at our success when others are struggling. We do not take the credit but we give all the credit to God.

What to Do When You are Having a Hard Time?

Today if you are going through a testing season in your life be encouraged. Reach out to God and to others for help and wisdom. Ask God to bring the right people into your life to advice and counsel you. Ask God to give you an attitude of expectancy and an attitude of expecting good things t happen. Give no opportunity to doubt and fear for God is your heavenly father and he loves to bless His children.

Let’s Reach Out and Help Others

Lastly as God is good to us and blessing us let each of us reach out to help others who are alone in a time of need. I spend my life going to other countries looking to encourage and be a blessing to those who feel hopeless. God has been so good to me but now I must share God’s goodness with others.

Depression #1 with Darrel Stott

2010-06-25T02:14:00.001-07:00

Depression is Very Serious

Depression is like a python snake that wraps itself around you squeezing the dreams, hope and purpose of life from you and bringing you to a place where “you will give up”.

Depression wants to take you to the place of where you do not want to live but die. Why? Because God has a great plan for your future. Therefore the devil wants you to
1) Quit believing and bring fear and hopelessness on you like a dark cloud
2) Kill you physically. I am not joking.

We thank God for doctors and drugs they can give temporary relief but they are not the solution. Tonight you will learn of the solution and get the help you need! Smile I have great news for you!

I am now ministering in Europe and seeing Jesus Christ do some of the most wonderful emotional healings that I have seen anywhere in my ministry! It is thrilling!

The first city that I went to in France the leaders showed me the area on the ocean and it was so beautiful overlooking the ocean and the house were all very nice. It is a retirement area where people come after they retire in the cities. The leaders told me that a large percentage of the population are extremely depressed and fell hopeless. Then I went to five more cities and the stories were the same.

I was confused trying to figure out how people that had so much could be depressed? When I am in Latvia, Estonia, Indonesia or China I can understand how the poor people with little money and so much emotional pain and sickness can be depressed and feel hopeless but how can this happen in Europe where the people have a good standard of living.

When I went to the meeting where I knew no one I knew I had to give them good news as the great command of Jesus in Mark 16 tells us that we must find the problems of the people then give them good news. When I talked to the people I soon learned that 50% were Roman Catholic and 50% were of protestant back ground.

What Would You Tell the People?

Can I ask you a question? If you were Darrel Stott standing in front of all these depressed people what would you tell them? I was there for one night and had only one opportunity to share something with them

This is what I shared “I am very happy to be with you tonight. My name is Darrel Stott and I am a prophet of Jesus Christ and I am here to prophecy to you about your future and then demonstrate the power of Jesus Christ to you. Tonight will be one of the best nights of your life!

Tonight God will take away your fear, your hopeless and your depression. Tonight Jesus Christ will heal you and take away your poverty and bring financial improvement in your life. I want you to look at me because I am the solution to your problems. God does not live in heaven but he lives inside of me.

Where Does God live?

God the Father, God the son and God the Holy Spirit all live inside of me. And in Luke 9 Jesus told me two things: Jesus said, “Papa Darrel that is my name, I give you POWER to heal the sick and number 2, Papa Darrel I give you POWER over every demon and evil spirit in hell.

If you have invited Jesus Christ into your life as your Lord and God you are the same as me. But let me explain. Most Christians know this intellectually but they do not believe it. The reason God will give you a miracle tonight is that “FAITH” in Jesus brings your miracle into reality in your life.

My name is papa Darrel (Stott) and “I believe that tonight is your night for a miracle”. Tonight the black cloud of hopeless and depression will leave as I drive the spirits of hell out of your life. Do you understand! The Bible tells us that if you believe what Jesus says about your situation that you will experience a miracle tonight not tomorrow or a year from now!

Good things come from GOD and bad things come from the devil. Tonight you are not here by accident but God has arranged for you to be here tonight as YOU have an appointment with GOD that is going to change your life!

Are you ready for a MIRACLE! Get ready the POWER of JESUS CHRIST is going to come on you. He is here now!

Are You Depressed today? I Have the Answer!

2010-05-20T03:36:00.000-07:00

Darrel Stott a few days ago in jungle

Are You Feeling Depressed Today?

How does one define depression? I don’t know but I have been depressed manytimes. I am an expert at being depressed. But I don’t feel bad about it. Why?

King David

King David in the Bible was a mighty king and a priest ofGod and he was pretty cool. All thewomen loved him as he as handsome, a hero and a wonderful worship leader andmusician. He had a lot going forhim. When I read his life he is definitelyon my hero list! And he is someone to beadmired.

But this same man went through times when those over himwanted to kill him. Yes not just gossipabout him but kill him. They werejealous of him and despised him. Davidhad this favor on him because one day the preacher from the church visited hishouse and poured 5 liters or two gallons of oil on him. When the preacher did this everyone knew itwas a sign of God anointing or separating David apart from his old life andseparating him unto go’s purposes.

God’s Anointing

When the anointing comes on a person the blessing and favorof God comes on them. Are you aware thatyou can have the same anointing of the Spirit of God come on you as Davidhad? I am not talking of joining achurch or a religion but through intimacy with Jesus Christ that he will fillyou so full of his love, peace and joy along with His power that you whole lifewill change.

No matter how they tried to kill him, slow him down orhinder him in any way they were never successful. Why? Because of the “anointing of the Holy Spirit” the Bible tells us notstrategy or attack of the devil will be successful in our lives.

King David wasdepressed and he desired to quit!

But at times he wanted to quit and just die he was totallydepressed. At these times he would getalone with God and allow God to refresh him.

We may feel hopeless and discouraged or full of fear butnothing bad will happen to us because God is with us. God did not adopt us as His Child in order tohave us destroyed. His plan is a goodplan and a plan of success.

If I told you my story you would probably feel encouraged asmy may be worse than yours. Let me sharea lesson with you that I have learned.

The number one1 thing the devil wants me to do is QUIT!

Have you ever felt like you have failed God and should quit?

Look what Daviddid.

1. He saw a beautiful neighbor lady having a bath who was afriend of his so he set out to have sex with her and he committedadultery. Wow now he is not socool. To make matters worse she got pregnant!

2. After having sex with his friend’s wife he decidedhe wanted her as his wife. He was aGodly king and a Priest but his solution was to arrange to have her husband killed. Now is that bad? That is worse than bad that is downright low!

He thought he got away with it all then a prophet came andrevealed everything and his life became meaningless.

3. All he could think about was his sins. He was totally depressed not wanting to live.

Wow now he fell on the floor crying and begging God for forgivenessand God forgave him.

David’s life was up and down up and down. But at the end of his life God looked andDavid and said “David is a man after my own heart”. Yes so amazing that was God’s perspective.

When I look back on my life I remember all my faults and Iam sure others do as well. But what Iforget is God sees me through the precious blood of Jesus. He sees me as sinless and beautiful

In conclusion this I what I am trying to say: Because we are so close to the second returnof Jesus for His church we do not have time for depression and mind games. Thedevil wants us to sleep and sit around and just quit! But we will refuse to quit no matter how lowwe feel.

God loves you and forgives your sin

2) 1. God’s intention is to bless and help you

4) 2. His plan is to give you power so you willexperience success in everything you do.

3. Get ready for God and the angels to assist you in allthings. Get ready for good news.

4. Smile and make others smile. If you feel no joy then watch one hour of Mr.Bean movie a day.

God’s plan is to refresh you, energize you and bring thepower of the Holy Spirit into your daily life. He and his power are so real.

Look at my web site and see the great things God is doing today around the world.

Living a Life of Convenience or Sacrifice?

2010-04-16T03:09:00.000-07:00

Darrel Stott in Jungle

Living a Life of Convenience or a Life of Sacrifice?

The word “convenient” is found one time in the Bible. The word “sacrifice” is found numerous timesin the Bible.

In most of the world people want to live a live ofconvenience. Without realizing it we caneasily become selfish and we set our goals for what benefits us and our familyto the neglect of others and the Kingdom of God.

Convenience and Selfishness joined together as life style are directenemies of the plan of God for your life.

The Bible tells us if we desire to be great in the Kingdom of God we must become the servants ofall. Yes we must serve others and theirneeds.

When God introduced Abraham to the life style of FAITH andtrust in God he asked him to sacrifice the one thing that was the closest tohis heart. Yes God asked for his onlyson Isaac.

When the people were starving and the word came that thesolution was for Jacob to give his youngest son as a sacrifice and then allwould have the food they needed God was teaching them and us some basiclessons.

We must learn to be apart of the Kingdom of Godinvolves a life style of sacrifice for all in the Kingdom.

Paul the apostle said that we must “die daily to ourselvesand our selfish desires”. Then he sayswe must “crucify” or “kill” them

Look at some of what Unger’s Bible Dictionary says about theword SACRIFICE:

Convenient

Scripture Terms. The following terms are used to express thesacrificial act:

1. Something given; a gift (Gen 32:13,18,20-21; 43:11;etc.); tribute (2 Sam 8:2,6; 2 Kings 17:4); an offering to God (1 Chron 16:29;Isa 1:13), spoken especially of a bloodless offering (Heb. minha; see MeatOffering, below).

2. Something brought near, an offering as a symbol ofcommunion or covenant between man and God (Heb. qorban).

Indeed, to sacrifice seems as natural to man as to pray; theone indicates what he feels about himself, the other what he feels about God.The one means a felt need of propitiation, the other a felt sense ofdependence" (Edersheim, The Temple, p. 81).

Fundamental Idea. The fundamental idea of sacrifices may begathered partly from their designation, partly from their nature. Sacrifices donot appear to have been instituted at first by divine command.

Why am I talking to you today about the word sacrifice?

I believe sacrifice must be emphasized to all Christianbelievers as part of our life style today if we are to attain the goals thatGod puts before us and to be successful in evangelizing the world with theGospel of Jesus!

Great things just don’t happen! There is a price to be paid forgreatness! Part of the price is for usall to sacrifice our personal desires and take on the desires of God!

I am so excited this year and as I look into the future to theyear 2015. I believe that the greatresources of heaven have come to join with us now in this great harvest season!

Yes the worst of hell and the best of heaven are going tohave a show down! We have to have oil inour lamps being full of the Holy Spirit and be in spiritual and physical condition. Our eyes must be on the Holy Spirit and notbe imitating others success. Lastly wemust be full of FAITH and so excited over the hour we are in that God hascalled us to succeed!

In a time of world recession I have agreed to partner withorphanages in Africa, Orphanages in Chinaand Nepal. I have agreed to partner with a Bible Schoolin

China

and to mentor as many as I can in the teachings of the Glory of God andintimacy with Jesus!

Convenient:

This word will damm us so we will not take long to discussit. Just notice that King Felix wasabout the most important decision in his life but he instead made a wrongdiscision because of this word “convenient”.

Acts 24:25

25 As Paul discoursed on righteousness, self-control and thejudgment to come, Felix was afraid and said, "That's enough for now! Youmay leave. When I find it convenient, I will send for you." (from NewInternational Version)

I will say no more about that word!

But let me be up front with you!

I cannot do what God has called me to do without yourhelp. We must be a team that workstogether loveing and honoring each other. Yes I need your help, prayers and financial support.

I am expecting the most exciting thrilling years of my lifein the next five years!

"Let's Stay Happy!"

2010-03-14T20:14:00.000-07:00

Stay happy

In recent years I spend a large amount of time in Indonesia. In the last 10 years the country has experienced large growth in Christianity. Many pastors desire to copy the style of America or Hill song in Australia. When they watch these countries on TV they see the professional image of excellence.

Then they come to me and say, “Papa Darrel…why are you so happy?” or “Do you know people in Indonesia call you many names?” I asked what the names they call me are.

They smile and say, “Some call you the “Holy Spirit Bartender”, or “The Master at Being Drunk in the Holy Spirit”. I will smile and think to myself that they could say worse.

I believe in excellence and that God uses great talent. But when I ask myself what has brought such a great revival to Indonesia it was not a result of talent or excellence. A young man told me this week “Papa Darrel in our church we are asked not to speak in tongues Sunday Morning and that now our service will only be one and one half hour.

I thought to myself how sad this is. This is what happened in America in the 1980’s. We thought if we could become user friendly with our meetings that our churches would grow. Oh Oh did you hear what I said?

Our goal was “church growth”! What a big mistake!

Why has such a revival come to Indonesia?

1) - Persecution drove the churches to fasting and prayer. It is a country of prayer with at least six prayer mountains. All churches fast for 30 in the month of January. All night prayer meetings are common.

2) - Emphasis on hearing the voice of the Holy Spirit and obeying.

3) -Music that welcomed the Holy Spirit

4) -Humility and preference to others.

5) -As a country Indonesia was one of the only countries in the world to embrace the “Toronto Revival in 1994. They loved the joy and drunkenness in the Holy Spirit.

So now they expect me to go back to where I was for 27 yrs a traditional Pentecostal serious pastor wearing black suits and ties.

What is my response? “Never!!!” I have found intimacy with Jesus and feel is love, peace and acceptance. His voice is so kind to me.

Last week I was with my AOG interpreter who is a pastor’s wife in Jakarta. As we stood to minister in a small church in the jungle all we did for 45 minutes was laugh! Yes laugh. The presence of Jesus was so strong and we all laughed. The people were so refreshed, ministered to and healed.

Does your Bible say, “The Joy of the Lord is your strength? Mine does.. Why change once you have found Intimacy with Jesus.

Avoid taking yourself and ministry so serious. Lighten up and let God make you a refreshing “Drink Offering”.

Enjoy Jesus and life he has given you!

What Is It Like to be a Missionary?

2010-02-22T18:24:00.000-08:00

Watch Darrel Stott in Papua Indonesia

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCNIIzUDakA

I have been traveling as a missionary around the world to 17 countries for 12 years. Yes I was a pastor for many years and I enjoyed it but really it was all preparation for what I do now.

Why is my job description?

How Do I Travel

I am called to be a Prophet to the nations and demonstrate the power of Jesus Christ bringing hope and solutions to those in need! Europe I travel 12- 14 hrs on long flights in coach class. A number of years ago I had bypass surgery on my heart. They took veins from my legs to put in my heart. This creates a problem for me on long flights as my foot and leg swell up. So I have to move around much on these flights.

Airplanes, boats and helicopters

In Indonesia where I spend much time all of the airlines are declared "unsafe" by the wes standards.

I travel in fast power boats up the rivers of the jungle in Kalimantan, or at other times very slow boats going between small islands trying to hide from the scorching sun. Thank God now there are times I travel in a helicopter into the jungle.

Four Wheel Drive

Various times I travel 11 hours on roads so rough we use a 4 wheel drive.

Accommodations:

I sleep on the floor of airports, hotels in the cities and on the floor or mats in remote areas

Food

I experience great variety. In Indonesia it is usually fish, chicken and vegetables with rice or Chinese food. In the cities it is very good. Outside can be difficult at times.

Meetings

In the cities we have large churches of up to 20,000 at a time to outside crusades in remote jungle of 200 people. With the crusades we take all our equipment with us. We also take power generator for the instruments and lights. But remember one light will draw 100 fly bugs! In other countries I meet in secret with the Christians as they have no religious freedom.

My reward for what I do:

Obviously is not money or comfort. My reward is always to see sad people smile!

This is the best and gives me energy! And secondly to put a smile on Jesus as He watches me.

Money:

I do not enjoy fund raising or asking for money.

I would just like to keep ministering but I have to pray and tell people what I do and ask God to talk to them as air travel and things are so expensive.

Thank you for your love, financial giving and prayers!

Make Us an Example for Others!

February 2010 "Stott Thots"

"Sacrifice is Pleasing to God"

In the plan of God he loves it when we are called to sacrifice. It is not pleasant to us though. I remember when I first met Pastor Petrus Agung many years ago in the city of Semarang Indonesia. He told me he would not take a love offering for me because he wanted it to cost him financially when I preached for him. He paid the highest honorarium of any church in Indonesia.

When was the last time you gave financially what you could not afford in the missions offering? The lady who put the perfume on Jesus gave a year’s salary as her love offering to him. Do we give what is convenient or at times do we sacrifice. I think most of you would say it is a sacrifice to give what you give.

It is so pleasing to God when you example is an example for others to imitate. When Jesus left heaven to come to earth it cost him everything. We should expect that we will have to deny ourselves some of the luxuries of life to carry out the bidding of Jesus.

A young pastor’s daughter came to him and said, “Daddy I want to put all the money in my piggy bank in the church missionary offering”. He asked if she was sure and she said she was. Then she said that she knew her mom and dad wanted to someday go to Australia but they never had enough money. But she believed by her sowing all her money that God would provide a trip for them to Australia. She had saved for a long time and it hurt the parents to watch her give it all to Jesus. But soon a man in the church came with tickets for the entire family to go to Australia. The little girl sewed and they reaped.

Many times I have been leaving meetings in some remote part of the world and a person will walk up to me and say, “Papa Darrel please thank the people who gave financially so you could come to us”.

Listen to the small voice of God and He will speak to you. Obey when he speaks.

When All Your Hope is Gone

2010-01-29T12:32:00.000-08:00

Darel giving the people HOPE!

When you first get extreme bad news it is impossible to describe how you feel. When I look back on my life and remember when I first learned:

-My wife had cancer
-I had a terminal disease
-I was being divorce
-I had been betrayed etc.

Shock is a nice word but what does shock feel like? To be looking at the dead body of your closest friend after you had hoped and believed.

People say "Darrel how did you feel?" Did God protect you from the pain? No he never I felt it all! What does that mean?
- I never slept for 4 nights
-I prayed one prayer "God kill me if you love me please I cannot stand the pain".
-Life has no meaning.
-Do you want to lose much weight? Go through a time when all hope is gone.

Then what about FEAR!

Or what about the word NUMB!

You may not have gone through what I have been through and you say "Thank you Jesus" but you feel hopeless as you look at your problem. I hope I can encourage you some today.

Let’s see if we can think some accurate thought:

1 God love you and you are still breathing!
2 Many have it far worse than you. (All many pray for is a bowl of rice for the day then they are happy)
3. This problem or testing is going to make you a better person.
4. And YES we are going to "thank God for allowing it to come into our lives".
5. We will embrace the situation and not run from it or ask for it to be removed before we learn our lesson.

I remember when I heard demons clearly laughing at me with high voices and they were yelling "Darrel we will destroy you financially and you will never return to Indonesia".

Now what was the lesson I was to learn? The lesson was to remember the devil is always a liar.
Therefore I knew that right now God is bringing greater financial blessing to me.

When the doctors and friends tell you that your best days are behind you and the fear and hopeless feelings come down on you. Ask yourself have you learned your lesson. What is the lesson?

Will we believe our feelings and the bad news of others or will we rise over our feelings and believe what the Bible says

God says "I love you and will heal you and bless you"
God says "No weapon or plan of devil will succeed in your life"
God says "He has given you the power to heal the sick and cast out tormenting demons
God says “He has a plan to prosper you and promote you”
God says “If we BELIEVE we will experience the goodness of God!

Remember “GOOD THINGS” come from GOD and “BAD THINGS” come from the devil!

Yes you feel fear, depressed and the future looks bad but ask God to open your eyes into your future!

When you pray and call to God he hears and answers! Do you believe that!

Then get ready for the ANGELS of GOD to appear to you. They are messengers of God between heaven and earth. They bring the miracle or answered to your prayers to you.

Many religious leaders make fun of me because I see angels of God frequently! I do not pay them any attention but I keep smiling watching the angels of God bringing the blessing of God into the world!

Do you feel a little FAITH right now! Listen just pretend your miracle will happen right now. I am going to pray with you! GET READY to feel a warm healing go through your body, get ready for all the fear and hopelessness to leave!

“In the name of JESUS I have been given authority from God to heal you! I have been given authority to end the HELL in your life and family! I take that authority and agree with you that RIGHT NOW in JESUS name your body and life is changing. The power of JESUS CHRIST is on you NOW and a MIRACLE if happening to you! Yes agree with me.

Expect CHANGE Expect PROMOTION EXPECT something good to happen to you right now!

I love you… you are not lone

Something to Make You feel Good!

2010-01-25T00:04:00.000-08:00

Where do we get our Information?

Where do we get accurate information from? There can only be one answer for us. We are the Children of God and we get our information from GOD!

The Bible teaches us "the Children of God are to be led or directed by the Spirit of God"

When you become a Christian it is not about joining a Church.

We need to get our facts straight.

The question is not whether we are Roman Catholic or Lutheran or Pentecostal. We need to ask ourselves if we are followers of Jesus Christ. A follower of Jesus Christ is called a Christian.

How do we become a Christian?

1. We must believe there is only one God. Our God consists of God the Father, God the Son and
God the Holy Spirit
2. The Bibles teaches us that everyone is born a sinner as a descendant of Adam and Eve.
3. If we continue on our own apart from Jesus Christ we will end up in a place of torment called hell.
4. But the wonderful thing is that God LOVES US SO MUCH that he sent Jesus into the world to die on the cross to shed his blood and satisfy the justice of God and thereby pay the price so our sins can be forgiven.
5. If any person believes that Jesus is God, that he is a sinner and that Jesus paid the price for his sins to be forgiven he needs to do one thing...
6. Give God an invitation to come into his life and remove his sins and then accept Jesus as your God with a purpose of living for him the rest of your life.

Yes this is how we become a Christian. John 1:12 states “That everyone who receives Jesus as their God to them He gives the power to be called the CHILDREN of GOD.

The Year 2010

If you are a Christian then you need to be excited as God is with you and has a plan to bless and help you in 2010! You are not alone God is with you.

When there is a world financial crisis God has a plan to take care of you and bless you in 2010!

But this will only happen if you BELIEVE IT!

FAITH is the KEY that unlocks your MIRACLE!

Fill your thoughts and mind with God's WORD not CNN NEWS!

FEAR in 2010

The one thing you must not do is be AFRAID!

The devil will try everything to destroy your faith in God.

His plan is to do whatever it takes to make you AFRAID!

Do you want to hear some good news? The Bible says this “When the devil comes in your life like a Tsunami wave of FEAR to destroy God will put up a big wall in front of you to STOP the plan of the devil to destroy you” But you must believe that!

When you have FEAR you will also have TORMENT and then DEPRESSION!

What destroys Depression and Fear is BELIEVING the words of Jesus. "Be not afraid for I am with you!"

This is going to be a great day!

I'm praying for you

Darrel Stott

Let's Enjoy 2010

2010-01-24T23:18:00.000-08:00

Some people look at a pile of shit in the field and turn away in disgust saying why do they leave shit like that!

But you and I when we see shit in 2010 will say "Look there is a pile of wonderful fertilizer that will make my flowers prettier and make my garden so productive".

It is all about our attitude and our perspective. Each day check to see if you have the right perspective. In the Bible it tells us that God loves us so much. We are so special to God! Do you believe you are special to God? If God can take care of the flowers and the birds He can take care of YOU!

Guard against being selfish! Are you a selfish person or do you prefer thinking of others? Do you continually think of you and your family and your happiness? Your finances and your future you need to repent and ask God to forgive you. This is so bad.

Daily our priority must be to cultivate our relationship with GOD and others over you. What can you do each day to bring pleasure to God? What can you do to bring a smile on his face as He watches you? The Bible tells us that if we "seek first the Kingdom of God and our relationship with Jesus that God will take care of all the details of our lives" His desire for each day is to bless us and give us the desires of our heart.

Let me share a secret with you of my life. Many times I am invited to preach in very large churches. Before God touched me I used to preach in churches usually with less than 200 people. When I began preaching to many hundreds and thousands of people I was afraid. I felt so inferior. Then I remembered something. What I desired most when I would preach was that the Holy Spirit would come upon me and the supernatural presence and power of God flow through me to the people. It is good to see people stimulated mentally but I love to see people helped and changed in a practical way. The only way I know for this to really happen is for the tangible presence of God to come into the room and change them.

I wanted to learn how I could attract the presence of the Holy Spirit. For years I attempted to do this by preparing good sermons with great illustrations. But then I learned a secret that changed my life.

The Bible says "God will show us His power when we are weak". Think about that for a moment. Let me share with you my goal when I minister.

When I stand up to preach I want the angels in heaven to say "Oh no....Darrel Stott is standing up to preach! When they look at Jesus he smiles and then says "Please turn off my phone I don't want to hear any prayers for a few minutes"

The angels whisper, "He does not know what he is going to preach and he has no notes" and they begin to laugh and get excited. Then one angel says "And we all know what he is going to say. He will tell the people that Jesus is going to come and heal them and change their lives. He will tell them nothing is too hard for God but that God will answer their prayers tonight".

Then all the angels stand and say "Darrel is in trouble again we have to go and help him. The Holy Spirit leads the angels into the room where I am preaching because when "I am weak in my own ability God will perform and how His power". I imagine Jesus smiling as he watches me preach.

Now theologians may not like this. But they need to lighten up and have a relationship where they enjoy God! And then allow God to enjoy them.

I trust you will have a wonderful day today and enjoy Jesus and try and help someone else today making them feel special!

Love you all
Darrel Stott
