He is wiser

Keep praying, but be thankful that God's answers are wiser than your prayers !

A little vision and HUGE destiny



A buddy of mine Ryan took me on a tour today of the ESPN studios here in Bristol, CT. I was floored as to how huge this place is. What started as a vision to bring sports 24 hours a day is now a global headquarters for everything sports. At the time, it was a crazy idea. Sports 24 hours a day??? That can't work, can it?

1978: Bill Rasmussen forms Entertainment Sports Programming Network, Inc. (ESPN) to broadcast sporting events to cable television operators via satellite.
1979: ESPN begins broadcasting on a limited-time basis.
1980: ESPN begins broadcasting 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
1987: ESPN begins broadcasting NFL games.
1988: ESPN International is created.
1989: ESPN begins broadcasting Major League Baseball games.
1991: ESPN Radio Network is launched in conjunction with the ABC Radio Network.
1993: ESPN2 begins transmission.
1995: Walt Disney Company becomes ESPN's parent company.
1997: ESPN purchases the Classic Sports Network and launches ESPN Classic.
1998: ESPN: The Magazine is launched.
2003: ESPN HD, a high-definition television sports network, is introduced.

All this took place because of one vision and one desire to do something that has never been done.

What has God put on your heart that will change someones life? It may look like a small, miniscule thought but is the birth of something bigger than you can ever imagine.

Think about it.

(thanks Ryan...you rock!)

The Essentials

“There are but two essential requirements: first: Has any one cheated death and proved it? Second: Is it available to me? Here is the complete record: Confucius' tomb - occupied; Buddha's tomb - occupied; Mohammed's tomb - occupied; Jesus' tomb - empty. Ar”

REPORT: New Britain, CT


What a great weekend I had in New Britain, CT. God's power was evident in all the services. Many testimonies have been coming in but one moment that stood out to me is on Sunday morning that I got a chance to share for a brief moments following the service with 3 teens that had been visiting that morning. 2 were first timers and I was just blessed by their willingness to hear me and was even more blessed when they gave their lives to Jesus Christ. If i remember correctly, two 13yr olds and a 14yr old. What a blessing to lead them to Christ. They are world changers. I can see something special in their eyes. One named Angel told me he felt something touch him inside. Praise God lives changed! We had a great ministry weekend.

I wanted to make you aware of the new branch of our ministry we are extending which is our PILLAR PRAYER PARTNER ministry that we have just launched. If you are interested, check out our website at www.TonyCruz.org

Born an Overcomer!


IDENTIFY WHAT YOU NEED (John 5:6)

When Jesus saw him lying there and learned that he had been in this condition for a long time, he asked him, "Do you want to get well?". Are you kidding me? Of course i would. If I had been like this for 38 minutes without the ability to walk I would have lost it. This man had been like this for 38 years! Your faith has got to be small and discouragement probably set in over 35 years ago. Nobody can change my situation...

This is a word in my spirit for the church today. Do you want tuo OVERCOME? We all know we need to but do you want to. Truth be told, many use their sin or struggle as an excuse to not turn to God. When he wants something, Are you letting your sin be a crutch to not turn to God? So, what do we do when God asks us if we want a healing or victory, we have to understand that if we say “YES” then when God plays His part. We must remember when we encounter God to stay away from the things that keep us there. NO EXCUSES!So when you say “yes”, you better mean “YES.” Identify what you need from God today and waht you are willing to follow through on. Many want a breakthru but not many want to PRAY the price. What you want isn’t always what you need. Pray God would show you what you need so that when you pray, it's there, no problem. Don't get overwhelmed by life right now - live like an overcomer.

A PERSONAL CRISIS WILL TEST YOUR PERSONAL CHRISTIANITY.
