• Whatever you talk about, you can bring it into existence.
• Be more positive when you speak.
• Watch your words, watch your actions.
• The tongue is full of deadly poison.
• The tongue is tameless.
• With the tongue you can live or die.
• The tongue can bless or curse.
• The true person is revealed through the tongue.
• The Holy Spirit must tame the tongue.

• Hard Heart - (vs. 4) You know of God and about Him, Hear the word and do not understand, No relationship with God, God's word does not convict you, and you don't read or communicate with God. The seeds fell by the roadside and will not grow.
   
• Shallow - (vs. 5) You know the word and have a casual relationship with God, You lost your zeal, the fires dies, you enjoy Him only when it is convenient to you, and when persecution comes you will quit.

• Crowded - (vs. 7) You want to serve God but you are worried about tomorrow, afraid about what people think, you got so much junk in you and you have different voices speaking to you and you don't know what to believe.

• Fruitful - everything is not alright, but you are not where you use to be. You are getting better day by day. You can produce something and somebody's life will be changed.

• Pray for the peace of Jerusalem
• Pray for the President and his cabinet; the governor and his cabinet
• Pray for the Pastor and family
• Pray for the church family
• Pray for the community
• Pray for the unsaved to accept the plan of salvation
• Pray for spiritual, physical, and financial growth
• Pray for Clarity, Movement, Alignment, and Focus for church and ministries

Rev. David Ausby


 

Rev. David Ausby, Sr. son of the late Elder Nathaniel Ausby, Sr. and Evangelist Mary Ausby was born in Weldon, N.C. I have three siblings, Nathaniel Ausby, Jr., Mary Young, and Delois Gray (deceased). I started singing in the choir when I was eight years old.My mother taught me piano at the age of ten. I studied music under Mrs. Charlotte Johnson and music in college. I started playing piano and organ in churches. My favorite organ is the Hammond B3 with the 145 Leslie Cabinet. I was the minister of music for the Evangelistic Church of Deliverance in Weldon, NC for seventeen years. I played for various churches after that including my home church, the Roanoke Chapel Baptist Church in Littleton, NC.

I met Pastor John P. Kee at Friendship Baptist Church in Trenton, New Jersey at a musical workshop. The knowledge I gained from him was instrumental in continuing my music ministry. I opened for groups such as The Wilmington Chester Mass Choir and Rev. Melvin Dawson and the Genesis Ensemble. In 2000 I performed with the Daughters of the Travelers of Jackson, NC at Pastor Shirley Caesar's Crusade. I also performed and preached in Chicago, Illinois with the Daughters of the Travelers. I performed with the Daughters of the Travelers on their 30th Anniversary. We opened up for Damon Little & The Nu Beginning.

I taught music at the Halifax Community College for nine years. I taught music at the Hollister Reach Center for seven years and I am currently teaching there. That includes piano, drums and voice lessons. Rev. James Johnson is the Executive Director of the Hollister Reach Center. Mrs. Carolyn Lynch helps coordinate the music program. The Hollister Reach Seminar Choir was birthed as a result of the teaching at the Center. I am the organizer of the Praise Community Choir of Roanoke Rapids, NC. I am the owner and operator of Inspirational Music Services In Roanoke Rapids, NC. I am an artist on "Independent Records" of Blairstown, New Jersey.

Heavenly Father, we call on You the God of Israel saying "Oh, that You would bless us indeed, and enlarge our territory, that Your hand would be with us, and that You would keep us from evil, and that we may not cause pain!" Father God, we ask You to grant us what we have requested the way You did for Jabez, according to 1 Chronicles 4:9-10.
