God Sent Companions (response to comment above):

Spiritually Mature Sons of God (Men & Women) have the ability to discern between good and evil. Between God sent companions (divine appointments & connections) and demonically influenced companions sent by the devil to draw you back."But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil." Hebrews 5:14
All born again believers have this ability -'not gift' -but ability. Some have the spiritual gift 'discerning of spirits' as revealed in I Corinthians 12:10 but, all have the ability to discern/know right from wrong - good from evil. The more mature you are in the Word - not how long you have been saved - but how long you have been obeying the Word of God will display your level of maturity as well as your ability to know who's divine and who is not.

This level comes only with a right relationship with the Holy Spirit. He imparts us with all that is spiritual. He is the Spirit of Truth and He will unction you when you are dealing with anything or anyone that is not from the Source of truth.

A few key reference scriptures:
You know them by their fruit... Matt. 7:15-20
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers... -2 Cor. 6:14
Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.

-I Cor. 15:33

PS. God will never send anyone in your life to tempt you. God is not the tempter - satan is. -James 1:13-15

This brief teaching does not exhaust this topic. There is so much more to share that it could be a book. This is what I was led to share for now.

Day 4 of the DOIC - a Powerful close by: The Voice of TLW

Day 4 of the Daughters of Increase 2012 "Heaven on Earth" Conference will have a powerful close with, Ontario Christian Center's own, Mrs. Tracy L. Williams.  Get to know her in the bio below and get to know her spirit this evening at 7pm at Ontario Christian Center.  If you cannot make it, I urge you to watch it streaming live at: http://djwsfm.org/LiveStream.html this is a word from Heaven that you don't want to miss!
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~


Tracy is a loving devoted wife, mother and grandmother, the first lady of Ontario Christian Center, a minister of the gospel, bestselling author, entrepreneur, on fire soul winner, and most importantly she has the heart and desires of God.

Born in 1968 in the heart of St. Louis, Missouri, Tracy was able to turn tragedy into victory. Two months before her birth Tracy’s father suffered an accidental death leaving Tracy and her brother Terroll to be a product of a single parent home raised by her now spirit-filled mother Geraldine. Life was not always easy but before the beginning of time God, her heavenly Father had already chosen her as His own. He knew Tracy would never be a statistic but a witness to the awesomeness He and only He could be capable to do.

Tracy attended the University of Missouri, and pursued her Bachelors at the International Academy- IMAD in Chicago, IL. Upon graduation in 1994 she moved to Los Angeles, California in perusal of an acting career. After being featured in several national sitcoms, and securing a commercial she found no satisfaction or fulfillment in these accomplishments.

Tracy found herself relocating back to Chicago pursuing her intended career in marketing. She pioneered her own marketing and public relations company in 1998 called Moss Plus, Inc. where she secured marketing contracts with start-up IT companies, the professional sports arena, entertainment groups, along with one of Chicago’s top secular radio stations.

God had purpose when Tracy went back to Chicago and although fruitful in her career as an entrepreneur, actress, and model, this was far from what God had in mind. In November 2001 Tracy L. Williams realized what it meant to humble herself in the sight of God as she cried out for newness and change in her life. She no longer wanted the world's definition of who she should be. The Lord heard the sincerity of her heart and a true intimate love between her and God was completely restored.

In February 2002 she became a member of Living Word Christian Center under the authority of Pastor Bill Winston were she underwent a radical transformation becoming a doer of the Word. At Living Word Christian Center Tracy was water baptized, filled with the Holy Spirit and made perfect in Christ for Dr. Juan Williams, Sr. to find her.

Within one year Tracy became the first African-American woman salesperson at a Mercedes-Benz dealership in Chicago. There she served the Christian and secular community, not only automobiles but the “Gospel”. Her office became a rest haven for lost souls. The good news of Jesus she shared compelled managers, staff, and clients to come to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. This pruning is what opened up the door for God to truly release more of His blessings upon her.

In August 2003 Tracy responded to the call of God to leave Mercedes (the world system) and go preach the gospel. It was during this time that Dr. Juan Williams, Sr. “found a good thing” and Tracy was married and off to California. Tracy had been cultivating and practicing hearing God’s voice so when it was time to go she was confident. She may have left her natural family 3000 miles away but the Holy Spirit was preparing her for the church and children who would become her own. God had positioned Tracy as a co-laborer to accompany Dr. Juan Williams, Sr., her husband, in ministry where she could uphold and run with the vision God placed in both of their hearts to ‘seek and save those which are lost’ and ‘setting men free through the knowledge of Jesus Christ’.

Tracy is currently an overseer of the OCC Women’s Ministry (Daughters of Increase) and Young Daughters of Increase, keynote speaker of the Annual Daughter’s of Increase Conference, favored instructor in the OCC Intercessory Prayer School, and has recently birthed “Can We Talk Thursday’s?” which is an intimate, informal environment where it’s just ladies, getting together, loving each other, asking questions, receiving wisdom, sharing, gaining revelation, and above all else, overcoming! Her greatest contribution to the body of Christ is her heart to win souls. She is a faithful soul winner who does not hesitate to put on her walking shoes and go out into the streets with her congregation to knock on doors rain or shine every week. Tracy understands that her life is a reflection of God’s goodness and what was given to her God has for everyone who chooses life. She desires to bring life to the world.

In 2007, Tracy launched The Voice of TLW. She has purposed in her heart to share, keep it real, and be transparent as she walks in Christ. Tracy seeks opportunities to help others succeed and has provided opportunities for other women to partner with her vision thus stirring up their faith as well. Tracylwilliams.org ministers to the hearts of many women all over the globe, from LA to South Africa, to the UK.

In 2008, TLW Publications was established to provide world-class services for those spirit-led authors and inventors who create and desire to publish divine books and magazines of revelation. TLW Publications is for those who dare to step out in faith and give birth to what God placed on their heart in times past. TLW says, “It’s time.” Another entity in preparation for it’s due season is, The Jesus Rehab project which is a refuge for the poor in spirit; those lacking in spiritual leading, guidance and counsel or simply for the mature in Christ who just need some ‘Peace be still…’ time. The Jesus Rehab project is established unto the Lord and will cause women to experience the love of God; to know the grace of the Lord Jesus; and to truly
fellowship and communion with the Holy Spirit like never imagined.

Tracy and her husband Dr. Juan Williams, Sr., pastor Ontario Christian Center in Ontario, California. They are the proud parents of six and grandparents to seven; including triplets! Tracy’s deepest desire is to know more of God daily as she seeks and effectively saves the lost; teaches believers obedience to the ministry of the Holy Spirit; and intercedes daily on behalf of the nations. She is a dynamic soughtafter minister of the Gospel with the unique gifting to share biblical revelations that meet people right where they are. She keeps it real! Real answers for real people who seek a real Jesus. Falling in love with Jesus is truly the best thing Tracy could have ever done. Tracy L. Williams is a mover and a shaker changing the world through prayer and soul winning while maintaining her role as a helpmate to her husband and role model to generations to come. Just ask and she too will show you how to intimately fall in love with Jesus as you really experience life IN CHRIST.

“Deep inside I always wanted to see better for my family. I tried to encourage them myself in what I thought was success… completing college, degrees, executive positions and an acting career all that only brought temporary fame. But, it was not until I dedicated my life to Christ that I truly began to see the change in my family that I so deeply desired. My obedience was the key.” TLW

"Be Free From Worry Right Now!": Confession

"I do not fret or have any anxiety about anything! I have no worries or concerns! In everything and in every circumstance, by prayer and with specific requests and thanksgiving I make my wants known to God!

God's peace is mine! That peace that transcends all understanding is guarding my heart and mind in Christ Jesus right now!

I'm remaining in God's rest. Whatever is true, whatever is worthy of reverence, whatever is honorable and just and pure, whatever is lovely and lovable, whatever is kind and gracious and excellent, whatever is worthy of praise I'm thinking on and I'm keeping my mind fixed on these things!

I'm practicing what I have learned and received and heard and seen in Christ and I'm modeling my way of living on it and, the God of untroubled, undisturbed well- being is with me!

I cast all anxieties, worries and concerns once and for all on Him. For I know that He cares for me and watches over me with affection!

I am well balanced, temperate and sober in my mind! I am firm in faith! I am standing against the strategies of the devil to try to move me. I am firm footed against him and I will not be moved by circumstances or people!

I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me! I ready for anything and equal to anything through Him Who infuses inner strength into me. I am self-sufficient in Christ's sufficiency!

And, ...my God has liberally supplied, filled to the full, my every need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

To Him, my God and Father be all the glory forever and ever. Amen."

The Book of Jude: The 'Spirit' of Betrayal Exposed

Beloved, my whole concern was to write to you in regard to our common salvation. [But] I found it necessary and was impelled to write you and urgently appeal to and exhort [you] to contend for the faith which was once for all handed down to the saints [the faith which is that sum of Christian belief which was delivered verbally to the holy people of God].

 For certain men (or women) have crept in stealthily [gaining entrance secretly by a side door]. Their doom was predicted long ago, ungodly (impious, profane) persons who pervert the grace (the spiritual blessing and favor) of our God into lawlessness and wantonness and immorality, and disown and deny our sole Master and Lord, Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).

 Now I want to remind you, though you were fully informed once for all, that though the Lord [at one time] delivered a people out of the land of Egypt, He subsequently destroyed those [of them] who did not believe [who refused to adhere to, trust in, and rely upon Him].

 And angels who did not keep (care for, guard, and hold to) their own first place of power but abandoned their proper dwelling place--these He has reserved in custody in eternal chains (bonds) under the thick gloom of utter darkness until the judgment and doom of the great day.

 [The wicked are sentenced to suffer] just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the adjacent towns--which likewise gave themselves over to impurity and indulged in unnatural vice and sensual perversity--are laid out [in plain sight] as an exhibit of perpetual punishment [to warn] of everlasting fire.

 Nevertheless in like manner, these dreamers also corrupt the body, scorn and reject authority and government, and revile and libel and scoff at [heavenly] glories (the glorious ones).

 But when [even] the archangel Michael, contending with the devil, judicially argued (disputed) about the body of Moses, he dared not [presume to] bring an abusive condemnation against him, but [simply] said, The Lord rebuke you!

 But these men revile (scoff and sneer at) anything they do not happen to be acquainted with and do not understand; and whatever they do understand physically [that which they know by mere instinct], like irrational beasts--by these they corrupt themselves and are destroyed (perish).  Woe to them! For they have run riotously in the way of Cain, and have abandoned themselves for the sake of gain [it offers them, following] the error of Balaam, and have perished in rebellion [like that] of Korah!

 These are hidden reefs (elements of danger) in your love feasts, where they boldly feast sumptuously [carousing together in your midst], without scruples providing for themselves [alone]. They are clouds without water, swept along by the winds; trees, without fruit at the late autumn gathering time--twice (doubly) dead, [lifeless and] plucked up by the roots;

Wild waves of the sea, flinging up the foam of their own shame and disgrace; wandering stars, for whom the gloom of eternal darkness has been reserved forever.

 It was of these people, moreover, that Enoch in the seventh [generation] from Adam prophesied when he said, Behold, the Lord comes with His myriads of holy ones (ten thousands of His saints) to execute judgment upon all and to convict all the impious (unholy ones) of all their ungodly deeds which they have committed [in such an] ungodly [way], and of all the severe (abusive, jarring) things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.

 These are inveterate murmurers (grumblers) who complain [of their lot in life], going after their own desires [controlled by their passions]; their talk is boastful and arrogant, [and they claim to] admire men's persons and pay people flattering compliments to gain advantage.

 But you must remember, beloved, the predictions which were made by the apostles (the special messengers) of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).

They told you beforehand, In the last days (in the end time) there will be scoffers [who seek to gratify their own unholy desires], following after their own ungodly passions.

 It is these who are [agitators] setting up distinctions and causing divisions--merely sensual [creatures, carnal, worldly-minded people], devoid of the [Holy] Spirit and destitute of any higher spiritual life.

 But you, beloved, build yourselves up [founded] on your most holy faith [make progress, rise like an edifice higher and higher], praying in the Holy Spirit; Guard and keep yourselves in the love of God; expect and patiently wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah)--[which will bring you] unto life eternal.

 And refute [so as to] convict some who dispute with you, and on some have mercy who waver and doubt. [Strive to] save others, snatching [them] out of [the] fire; on others take pity [but] with fear, loathing even the garment spotted by the flesh and polluted by their sensuality.

 Now to Him Who is able to keep you without stumbling or slipping or falling, and to present [you] unblemished (blameless and faultless) before the presence of His glory in triumphant joy and exultation [with unspeakable, ecstatic delight]--

To the one only God, our Savior through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory (splendor), majesty, might and dominion, and power and authority, before all time and now and forever (unto all the ages of eternity). Amen (so be it). Jude (Amplified version):::

Can We Talk Thursday

Can We Talk Thursday's is a ministry that offers a platform where relevant issues for women are candidly discussed in a "round table" setting. OCC female ministers under gird our First Lady in ministering life to women who are hurting and seeking godly counsel. What happens at CWTT stays at CWTT, and meetings are held the first Thursday of the month at 7:00 p.m.  

There's no such thing as a stupid question and we encourage everyone to ask anything.  Openly or anonymously. If you have a question that you would like answered at this evening's session, submit it below. You can submit as yourself or anonymously and we'll reply by tomorrow. Don't be shy...

You Are a Citizen of Heaven

You have a new life. You are on assignment here in the earth. Stay focused and be a student of God's Word for your next steps. 

If then you have been raised with Christ (to a new life, thus sharing His resurrection from the dead), aim at and seek the (rich, eternal treasures) that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.

And set your minds and keep them set on what is above (the higher things), not on the things that are on the earth. For (as far as this world is concerned) you have died, and your (new, real), life is hidden with Christ in God.

When Christ, Who is our life, appears, then you also will appear with Him in (the splendor of His) glory.

So kill, (deaden, deprive of power) the evil desire lurking in your members (those animal impulses and all that is earthly in you that is employed in sin): sexual vice, impurity, sensual appetites, unholy desires, and all greed and covetousness, for that is idolatry (the deifying, the exaltation of self and other created things instead of God). Colossians 3:1-5 (Amp.)

That's not the real you. You have a new nature. You are a citizen from Heaven and you are here on assignment - you are called to restore man back to God and your personal lifestyle is the greatest witness. It's not hard; the power that was in Jesus when He was here in the earth is the same power in you.

Keep your partnership with the Holy Spirit and He will usher you continuously in God's divine will and order for your life. 

And He raised us up together with Him and made us sit down together (giving us joint seating with Him) in the heavenly sphere (by virtue of our being) in Christ Jesus (the Messiah, the Anointed One). Ephesians 2:6 (Amp.)

You are in Control of Your Body

You are important here in the earth and you must make up your mind to walk in self control. If you let your body control you, you will miss direction from God at any given time. Make up your mind to stop eating, sleeping and spending so much. Stop satisfying your flesh and let God satisfy you with His Word. Don't be afraid of change - welcome it, it's being revealed daily to your spirit-man not your flesh.

 "Stop toiling and doing and producing for the food that perishes and decomposes (in the using), but strive and work and produce rather for the (lasting) food which endures (continually) unto life eternal; the Son of Man will give (furnish) you that, for God the Father has authorized and certified Him and put His seal of endorsement upon Him."

 "It is the Spirit Who gives life (He is the Life-giver); the flesh conveys no benefit whatsoever (there is no profit in it). The words (truths) that I have been speaking to you are spirit and life."

 "But, (still) some of you fail to beleive and trust and have faith. For Jesus knew from the first who did not believe and had no faith and who would betray Him and be false to Him. "

God knows what's in the heart of man. Some display their unbelief in what is spiritual by shunning, betraying and being false to the very messengers of the Word of God - sent by God - to tell them the Truth nothing but the Truth. In this hour it is critical for you to endure seemingly hard, sound teaching empowered by love. Shame the devil and shun the spirit of offense (not the teachers) and receive change for real - this time around.

 "After this, many of His disciples drew back (returned to their old associations) and no longer accompanied Him."
