Just Faith It – Part 1

Exodus 14:16, NKJV ; Matthew 17:20, NKJV ; Hebrews 11:17, NKJV

What is Faith? (Hebrew 11:1-3, NKJV)

Faith is believing something is so when it’s not so until it is so! Faith has substance. Substance brings Stability and Hope is the confident expectation of a positive future in spite of your present circumstances because our hope, foundation, and substance are in Jesus Christ. Faith has Substance and that Substance is Jesus Christ. (Matthew 7:24, NKJV ; Matthew 7:25, NKJV ; Matthew 16:18, NKJV )

There are two results that are evident when we have the right faith: The right Faith has the right Substance which results in Stability. When our Faith has the right Substance, we are Steadfast! (1 Corinthians 15:58. NKJV )

Faith has Evidence. (Hebrews 11:1-3, NKJV )

You can’t see Jesus physically, but you can see Jesus spiritually. (Matthew 5:8, NKJV ) You will see the evidence of God and His working. When your faith is right it’s Evident by the way you see others. (Titus 1:15 , TLB; Job 16:19, NKJV )

Faith is Framed by the Word of God. (Hebrews 11:1-3, NKJV )

The things you see were not framed by the Word of God. If God speaks it, it comes about. Three steps to help us frame God’s Word in our life: If you want to increase your faith, increase the Word of God. (Romans 10:17, NKJV ) Trust God’s Word. (2 Peter 1:4 ) Ask God to increase our faith. (Luke 17:5-6, NKJV ; John 1:1, NKJV )

The Monster’s Master Plan to Master Your Mind

2 Corinthians 10:3-4, NIV

What does the Enemy do?

The enemy tries to shape our thinking –one rock at a time until we are imprisoned to the lies. The enemy’s goal is to place distance between you and God by getting you to depart from the Truth. (John 8:44, NKJV ; Romans 3:4 , TLB; 1 John 2:26-27 , TLB) If we abide in the Truth (Jesus), believe the Truth, and obey the Truth Satan has no power over us.

Lies Satan wants you to believe:

Not to trust Jesus and those who love you the most.
Believe we will never be successful. (Joshua 1:8-9, NKJV )
God does not care about me—God is holding out on me. (John 3:16-17, NKJV ; James 1:17, NKJV )
Don’t tell anyone you are struggling, or they will object you. (James 5:16, NKJV ; Matthew 18:20, NKJV ; Deuteronomy 32:30, NKJV )

How do we defeat the Enemy?

Intentionally change what you think by taking your mind and thoughts captive. (2 Corinthians 10:4-5, NKJV ) Our life is a reflection of our thought life—change your thinking and you will change your life. (Proverbs 23:7, NKJV ) Focus on God’s promises, not the problem—you will become fearless. (2 Peter 1:4, NKJV )

Simple steps to help us defeat the strongholds in our life.

Identify and admit your stronghold—we cannot defeat what we cannot define. Claim the Truth or Promise that demolishes that stronghold. (Ephesians 6:15-17, NCV ) Believe the Truth over the lies. (Hebrews 11:6, NKJV )

The Origins of Memorial Day: A Day to Remember and Honor Memorial Day is more than just a three-day weekend to kick off the summer season; it is a solemn occasion dedicated to honoring the brave individuals who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country.

Majestic Machines in Morning Light: Honoring the Flying Tigers This Memorial Day at England Air Force Base Heritage Park

Photos and Story by Ken Hulsey This morning, I decided to wake up before the rooster crowed to capture the Memorial Day sunrise over England Air Force Base Heritage Park in Alexandria, Louisiana. The park features many of the jet fighters flown by the pilots of the famed 'Flying Tigers' who were stationed here from the late 1940s until the base closed in 1992. Watching the light gradually illuminate these majestic machines brought to mind the hundreds of service men and women who woke at first light to prepare to fight and die for our country in the skies, on the high seas, and on countless battlefields around the globe.

Remembering Our Heroes: The Brave Journey of U.S. Army Air Corps Lieutenant Erskin Leon Hulsey

Written By Ken Hulsey On this Memorial Day, I want to take a moment to honor my uncle, U.S. Army Air Corps Lieutenant Erskin Leon Hulsey. He was shot down during a bomber mission over Germany, and his remains were never recovered. According to a letter from the Adjutant General of the United States Army, Leon (as he was known to family) was piloting a B-26 Marauder medium bomber on a raid targeting a German factory complex on December 6, 1944. At approximately 3:30 PM, the plane was hit by anti-aircraft fire and crashed near the German town of Düren.

Dames, Detectives, and Superheroes: How 'Spider-Noir' Redefines Classic Noir for a New Generation!

Unraveling the Web: Why 'Spider-Noir' is the Ultimate Nostalgic Thrill Ride! Written By Ken Hulsey Terri and I have a new show that we are hooked on, and we stumbled upon it quite by accident. I was actually searching on Amazon Prime for a new documentary series for both of us to watch since we had just finished watching two really good ones by Ken Burns, Louis & Clark, and The American Buffalo, and the advertising for Spider-Noir ( Watch now on Prime Video ) was the first thing that popped up. I was waiting on Terri to finish up in the kitchen, so I watched the trailer for the show and immediately became interested.

Bunkie: A Tale of Decline and Missed Opportunities in Central Louisiana | A View from the Wrong Side of the Tracks

Photos and Story by Ken Hulsey Like many towns in central Louisiana, Bunkie was once thriving; however, today it is merely a shadow of its former self. Prosperity in Bunkie appears to depend on which side of the Union Pacific Railroad one is on. If you're on the west side, you are still hanging on by a thread; if you are on the east side of the tracks, you find yourself in a literal ghost town. This area is marked by an endless row of failed businesses and abandoned buildings. Unfortunately, the business district is gone and will likely never return.

Photos and Story By Ken Hulsey This past Saturday, I spent the afternoon exploring the grounds of the Southern Forest Heritage Museum in Long Leaf, Louisiana. The museum is situated on the site of the former Long Leaf Sawmill Complex, which was one of many mill complexes in the region. While the mill itself is fascinating to explore, I chose to focus on the old facilities of the Red River and Gulf Railroad on this gloomy day.

Lost Landmarks: The Heartbreaking Demise of Gibson's in Vernon - My Childhood Memories

Photos and Story by: Ken Hulsey It’s interesting how certain places from our past stick in our memory. Recently, I have been reminiscing about my time in the northern Texas farming town of Vernon from 1974 to 1978. One landmark that stands out in my mind is the Gibson's department store located just off the Highway 287 frontage road. Like many retail and five-and-dime stores of its time (pre-Walmart and Target for you younger folks), Gibson's offered a little bit of everything—clothes, hardware, household goods, and toys.
