For those that are not getting the devotional: Yep, there is a problem. Hopefully I will have it fixed soon. It is one of those things where there is nothing wrong, but something sure ain't right. It appears that an auto security update has affected the database and made it extremely slow, but more secure 8-) Everything has a reason and a season, and this may be a time to either upgrade or write our own code from scratch. Thank you all for your patience and support while we work through this.

Dion is doing a security update on the website, so it may go up and down a little. Sorry for the inconvenience (F)!

Prayer Devotional for the Day
Dear Father in heaven, I am thankful for Your love and patience toward me, to help me overcome the things in my life that are not pleasing to You. I realize that I cannot do this without the help of the Holy Spirit. I am calling on You to empower me to be that overcomer and help me to come to the place that I love You so much, that I will never want to hurt You by going my own way. I humbly ask You to remove all pride and rebellion from my heart. Cleanse me, and may I always have the "fear of the Lord" in my heart. I ask this in Jesus' name. Amen.

Praise God! Just like with how cutting edge network's were in the 90's, the Lord has blessed you, and trusted you with a network of His children way ahead of others. What an amazing blessing! Thank you Jesus.

Kiss It Goodbye
In the Scripture, a lady named Naomi and her family had left Bethlehem because of a famine and moved to Moab. Life was good, but then her husband unexpectedly died. She never dreamed she would be a widow. Ten years later, both of her married sons died. She was so heartbroken that she decided to move back to Bethlehem. She told her daughters-in-law, Ruth and Orpah, to go back to their homes and start new lives. Ruth refused to leave Naomi, but Orpah took her advice and went home.
After all Naomi had been through, she could have thought, "Orpah, how can you leave me at my lowest moment? How am I going to make it at my age?" She could have felt betrayed and angry, but that would have kept her from the new things God had in store. Instead the Scripture says she "kissed Orpah goodbye" (Ruth 1:9). Orpah represented the hurts, the disappointments, the broken dreams, and the things Naomi didn't understand. She was saying by her actions, "Life hasn't been fair, but I know that what was meant for my harm, God can turn to my advantage," which is exactly what happened. She and Ruth moved back to Bethlehem where Ruth married a wealthy man named Boaz. They had a baby whom Naomi took care of as though it were her own son. After all the hurt and loss, Naomi said, "I never dreamed I would be this happy and fulfilled." Her latter days were better than her former days. This would have never happened if she had not kissed Orpah goodbye.
When life doesn't turn out the way you thought, remind yourself that God is still in control. If you're going to reach your destiny, you have to learn to kiss negative things goodbye. People may walk away. Life may not turn out the way you had planned. It's tempting to get bitter, hold a grudge, lose your passion. You have to kiss the bitterness goodbye, kiss the person that left you goodbye, kiss the dream that didn't work out goodbye.
Sometimes God closes the door. He'll move people out of your life. There are people and opportunities that were assigned to your past that are not assigned to your future. They were right for a season, but that season may come to an end. The key is how you handle the closed door, how you handle the disappointment, how you handle the person who did you wrong. You can't embrace the new things God has in store as long as you're holding on to the old. Accept it as God's plan, kiss it goodbye, and move on. God knows how to bring you out better than you were before

Sylvia Todd: Thank you all for coming to our first test service! The event is done now, but I just extended it for a bit so it would stay up on the site, and people can leave feedback .
Rod Fortner: This first test service was great! Inspiring worship and message. This will take RHM to the next level in reaching people for the Lord! Thank you Pastor Dion and Sylvia for all the work you do. I Corinthians 15:58
Carol Pady: I loved the test service. Another awesome message. Thank you so much for all you do. I will keep lifting you up in prayer for everything to run smooth with this.
Dion Todd
Thank you Carol. We certainly need it. I feel like we have entered into warfare because there is a good bit of resistance in trying to do this. I guess it is funny like that, if you do nothing, there is no resistance at all.

I will try to attend when time allows. But, I did want you to know that I am elated that God has taken you and Sylvia in this direction as we are in the end of the end days. It reminds me of my old friends Jan and Paul Crouch way way back in 1973 I was still in High School, and this one couple who changed the world by hearing the voice of God and out of their obedience, used in a little room, with a shower curtain as a back ground, and old movie camera and an antenna that does not even exist any longer, to reach the ends of the world via television. Will never forget that day, and I know that Refreshing Hope Live Church Services will one day soon if not sooner, will reach the ends of the earth. I will be interceding, you can count on this prayer warrior and the one that just moved in with me. We will have church tonight. Someone has to intercede, as the attacks are fierce when we are moved into a new season as a pastor. This you and I both know very well. Love you Pastor Todd and Sylvia for all that you do for the Kingdom of our Creator Jehovah. Shalom less

Tonight Pastor Todd and yourself are embarking on something huge. I prophetically can tell you that, so I will be interceding. Tomorrow, I have a heavy ministry day and I am not sure I will be on here, but I cannot wait to hear on how the Holy Spirit had His way this evening on Refreshing Hope Live Church Service and I know that He will not be put in a box. Once He is put in a box, the anointing leaves. I am standing in the gap. Love you all dearly, God bless you less
Sylvia Todd
Cheryl, the intent is also to record it so you can watch it later. Lord willing, that will work out by Father's Day, but if not, it is definitely in the plans for the future .
Dion Todd: Please note that this event is for NEXT Tuesday evening, the 06.07.2016 at 7 PM EST. I was not thinking that today is Tuesday when I posted it and that it might be confused!
