JAIME & BRENDA FELIX WITH TWO BAGS OF FRUIT
It’s New Years eve today in downtown Los Angeles. This is where my office for work is located. I came to the office today with no one around. I had a meeting with Mike Kim, he wrote the book “ESCAPING NORTH KOREA” and they are going to turn his book into a feature length film to create awareness for the challenging issues in North Korea. This issue is a burden on my heart that I’ve been praying about for nearly 3 years now. I think God may have answered my prayer to be used in some way to bring justice to the injustice happening in North Korea today through helping Mike with this film. They have some big open doors for this film to be made… cool thing is we got to spend time praying for the film and freedom to come to North Korea together…
So I’ve decided what my 2010 New Years resolution will be. This may sound crazy, but I’m going to do my best with this. Basically, I’ve realized after being a pastor for so many years that it’s easy to talk about love, it’s another thing to live a life of love. Many people may know me for my preaching, or music, or creative endeavors, but that means nothing unless I live out what I talk about. So I don’t want to only let others hear me talk about it, but I really want to be about it. I want to practice what I preach by doing the following new years resolution and challenge to myself… honestly, I’m a little scared but here it goes…
365 DAYS OF LOVE….
ON THE MOVE
EAST WEEK #23 ~ WE NEED RIGHTEOUS ROLE MODELS NOT CELEBRITIES
In the past year I have had the opportunity to work with many celebrities and artists in the entertainment field counseling, advising and being a pastor to them spiritually. I began to ask the Lord why He had opened this unique door of mentoring artists & entertainers to me, specifically I heard God say, “I am raising up righteous role models to positively influence the next generation for My purposes.”
Why is it important to see artists/celebrities as key influencers in this generation? Because we live in a post-modern culture today that sees leadership and authority very different than the generations before it. Before postmodernism there was modernism and pre-modernism (Christendom). Let me explain each from a Western context to make a point…
Christendom
The understanding of church that developed after Emperor Constantine made Christianity an official religion of the Roman Empire in the 4th century so that the church became a pillar of society and Christianity the dominant religion.
Modernity
The historical period that emerged in the West around the turn of the 16th century
DRIVING FROM NOR CAL TO SO CAL... REFOCUSING!
I had a chance to drive up from Socal to Norcal for Christmas this past week to visit family and friends. I ended up driving 6 hours up and 7 hours and back down. During my time in the car, I had a lot of alone time to think, reflect and talk to God about the past year…
I realized so much has happened in just the past 12 months. So much has happened in my life personally and in the world around me. As I spoke with God and listened to His voice, things became much more clear in my mind. A few things that struck me deeply was the fact that I am about to turn 30 in 201o. Many people call the 30’s as the prime of men. It’s when boys become men. It’s when a man should be at his best. It is also when Jesus began his ministry…
EAST WEEK #22 ~ “JUDGE NOT OR YOU WILL BE JUDGED”
(I wrote this East Week article a few months back … in light of Tiger Woods, we need to pray for those who are exposed in sin and darkness, love them and not judge them. We all can stumble, but it’s God’s grace that brings us back to life. Pray for those who fall to find grace and truth in Jesus Christ!)
Recently in Hong Kong many celebrities have had to come clean with their mistakes and sins. I simply want to write this to ask everyone to continue to pray for many of the celebrities/artists who have had to face public disgrace and scrutiny. Pray that each of them can find grace, healing and restoration in their lives from devastation and humiliation. Some of these artists/public figures have professed faith in God and making an honest effort to turn a new leaf. Please remember, no one on this earth is perfect, only God is. Our faith is not in our own righteousness, but in the righteousness of Christ. The Bible says, “judge not or you will be judged.” Jesus did not come to save the righteous, but He came to seek and save the lost, the least and the last. He came to save every one of us from our sins and mistakes.
Last weekend I spoke in Phoenix AZ, with Patricia King at (www.extremeprophetic.com) for a special gathering to pray for God’s movement in Hollywood. There I released a prophetic dream and word on what God is currently doing in media and entertainment. For those of you who are called to this mission field you must listen to this word given. For those of you who pray, you must watch this word to understand the importance of praying for God’s transformative power to change media from the inside out. As someone once said, “Whoever controls the media, controls the minds of a generation” it is time to influence this culture shaper with God’s creativity, with that which is truly good, true and beautiful..

PROPHETIC DREAM ~ GOD’S MOVEMENT IN HOLLYWOOD AND ASIA ENTERTAINMENT
On Sept 26th morning I received a clear prophetic dream about God’s movement in the media and entertainment industry in Asia and Hollywood. There were two parts to this dream and interpreted the morning I received them.
Dream 1 ~ The Rise of Asian Artists in Hollywood & Asia
THIS ARTICLE WAS WRITTEN MONTHS AGO DURING MY TRIP TO SOUTH KOREA, RIGHT AFTER THE EX-PRESIDENT HAD COMMITTED SUICIDE…
Suicide is a big problem in this generation. The problem of suicide is a worldwide issue, but especially in the Asian regions suicide always ranks as one of the top 2 forms of death amongst Asian’s young and old. In Japan the problem of suicide has become an epidemic where youth will form “suicide clubs” on the Internet and commit suicide together as a sport or activity. In South Korea, celebrities have been committing suicide more and more, and even more recently the former president of South Korea jumped to his death from a mountainside. In Hong Kong there have been prominent celebrities who have committed suicide because of bouts with depression, while students leap to their death because of the pressures they face. I have begun to ask why suicides seems to be happening almost all the time specifically among celebrities and young people? Is there a way we can prevent more celebrity and youth suicides from happening?
