Happy New Year 2009 & Important Prayer Link

2008 has truly been a year of change and new beginnings. Everything that you have overcome this past year, know that it was "Christ in you" that brought you through. Keep this in mind as you approach the challenges of 2009. It is He that gives us strength. I'm reminded as to what the Apostle Paul said "I have worked much harder, been in prison more frequently, been flogged more severely, and been exposed to death again and again. Five times I received from the Jews the forty lashes minus one. Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was shipwrecked, I spent a night and a day in the open sea, I have been constantly on the move. I have been in danger from rivers, in danger from bandits, in danger from my own countrymen, in danger from Gentiles; in danger in the city, in danger in the country, in danger at sea; and in danger from false brothers. I have labored and toiled and have often gone without sleep; I have known hunger and thirst and have often gone without food; I have been cold and naked. Besides everything else, I face daily the pressure of my concern for all the churches. Who is weak, and I do not feel weak?"(2Corinthians 11:24-29). Remember that "we can do all things through Christ that gives us strength" (Phillipians 4:13). Keep praying for our troops in the middle east, the prayer team is steadily growing. Here is the new link to forward your prayer partners to click on to get to my blog page. Please use this link to forward to your interested praying parties. We can do this thing in 2009. Just Do it! Send it out and always pray: http://www.clickaudit.com/goto/?144162

Approval from Author: "Forever War" Dexter Filkins

I want to say thank you for those of you who have immediately caught the vision for the establishment of a 24 X 7 International Prayer Team called "For the Love of Our Troops." The response has been great the first day of its announcement on yesterday. Some of you have expressed that the Author of "Forever War", Mr. Dexter Filkins should be contacted that it will be his book that is being promoted from my blog page to keep the team informed, close to war and ready in prayer. I am excited to say that I did contact Dexter and we have his much approval and blessings. Thank you for your wonderful advice. Any other great advice, please do not hesitate to contact me via email at: kenbordeaux@gmail.com Let's grow the team together and not wait. Below is Dexter's note back to me early this morning:

Dear Kenneth:

Thanks for your quote and the nice words. I have no problem at all with your promoting it. Anytime!

Thanks again and all the best,

Dexter

For The Love of Our Troops - "We got Ur Back"

I want to thank you all who have blogged my page and have emailed me inquiring about my books. I want you to know that I am in the process of finding a publishing company that can make all my books more readily available to all. For the last few days I have not only been concentrating on my books, but another author's work who was recently interviewed on MSNBC. He released his new book entitled "Forever War" by Dexter Filkens. It is a work that comprises of his experience as an journalist on the ground in Bahgdad for the past 10 years while traveling in the company of the Marines. This book is not political or bias in any shape, form, or fashion. It just tells you what he has seen on the ground in Bahgdad with our troops, the people of Iraq, and the Jihaddist. You can view the MSNBC book review and interview of Dexter by clicking on the following:

Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy

Let me first say to you that after you see this clip you won't see things about war the same. I will urge you to go to any book store and look for it in the history section. I'm asking you to read from pages 3 to 9 just to get an idea of the type of things he is talking about in the clip above. Our men and women have been under some very demonic and extreme physical warfare in Iraq, Pakistan and Afghanistan. The awareness of this clip on MSNBC and this book has called me to an higher element to spiritual duty. Therefore, today I am announcing that I am organizing an International 24 X 7 Prayer Team that will fight in the spirit with prayer the demonic forces of evil that battle against our troops. No longer should any administration send our men and women into battle and the people don't properly have their backs in around the clock prayer. This blogsite will not just serve as an information venue for my writings, but will also become the central point of contact for updates on this International Prayer Team and its results. The international prayer team that I am organizing is entitled "For The Love of Our Troops", subtitled "We got Ur Back." As long as our men and women are fighting anywhere in the world, this is a much needed device for them on a 24 X 7 basis. For those of you who are not familiar with me and my background. Just to let you know, I have served in the U.S. Air Force for 6 1/2 years. I was a member of the White House Presidential Honor in Washington D.C. for 2 years. I was the Assistant NCOIC of the 2nd Element (Pallbearers). I trained the other honor guardsmen and women daily. I know what its like to hand a neatly folded flag to a sombering mother, a crushed wife, a distraught father or depressed sister after the death of one of their family members. I know it too well and have done it too many times. I can't begin to tell you about the hundreds of funerals I participated in Washington in those 2 short years. During that time, we weren't at war, just a few skirmishes here and there. I can only imagine the amount of funeral services those guys and gals are performing today in Washington and other parts of the country. My feet still hurt just to think about all the marching from the Chapel in Arlington Cemetary to the grave sites that our Unit conducted. Many times up to 4 to 5 funerals in one day. I want each of you to know the truth. It is the bodies under those tomb stones in Arlington Cemetary and many other places like it, that has given us the right to be free, have an opinion or even an attitude in America. Therefore, "For The Love of Our Troops" has today been launched to counter attack the "Prince of Darkness". I am conducting a strategic plan of calling thousands to prayer where we have our troops back on a 24 X 7 basis. I want to give a shout out to Cynthia Piage in Okinawa, Japan who heard the call to prayer after I talked to her and has joined me and others in this endeavor. Proceeds from my personal book sales of CHOOSE, CHOOSE II, The spirit of Greed and others I write will support this international prayer forum. There will be more information given out later on the type of things this international prayer team will be involved in on the behalf of our men and women in uniform.

If you are interested in becoming apart of the prayer team, please do not hesistate to view the link above, purchase the book "Forever War", and send me an email at: kenbordeaux@gmail.com I will personally get back with you soon. This will cost you nothing, but your time in prayer.

P.S. I get nothing from Dexter's book above. I just read it and it is astounding. I have not met him. It is just the perfect piece that brings us close to the war. We can't go to Baghdad, we can't go to Afghanistan, but we can buy this book. It will take you there.

OBAMA Wins: Letter to my son and daughter

Collin and Danae.,

This morning of history I wake up as a proud Father and African American man to have lived to see this day that my children would witness a historic moment. Never in history has this nation accepted a Black Man to sit in the highest office as President of these United States. Your father's struggle like many other black's in america has been to accomplish things in this life that would set an example for not only others, but my children. I took the course of education and hard work for the hopes of one day my kids could live in a world that they would have a chance to be perceived by those who were in power as; worthy, intelligent, significant and strong. The atrocities in America for 400 years have made it very difficult for African American families, homes, relationships, and marriages to succeed. We all have a way that we see the world. But today is a dawning of a new day. Barrack and Michele Obama have restored my faith in the African American family and will to succeed. They represent what our culture is all about. Daddy does not care what race you fall in love with and spend the rest of your lives. What daddy has always cared about is that you as a young black man and young black woman work hard and never let this world make you feel like you are less than significant. In order to do that, you can't talk about it, you got to be about it. There were many days in my life that I had to push through the debris of being viewed in that way, whether it was in business, work, college...etc. I know what it is like to not get the promotion because I am black. I know what it is like to be disregarded in the classroom because I am black. I know what it like to not get the business because I am black. But I never let those things stop me and keep me down. I always had you guys in mind in my work, even before you were born, I had you in mind. Daddy started pushing himself to do better and be better at 14 years old. I refused to accept less than what this nation was willing to give me. I saw blacks in Central Florida at 14 picking oranges and tomatoes in order to pay their bills. It was a day of change for me. Without knowing any of my children, your mom, grandmother or what the future may hold, I made a decision for myself, my wife and kids that day that I would be a man of intelligence, of education, effort, respectability, and hard work. I never let anybody take that committment away from me. I made that decision at 14 while walking down the street in Tampa, FL. No one was there but me and God. Daddy has always pushed you in the classroom because I know that's where you have your best chance. Barrack and Michelle has worked hard in the classroom and society and now it is paying off. Never confuse Dad's sentiments for you to work hard and be respectible citizens as I don't care. Let me speak for myself. I care through my refusal to watch you fail. I care through my refusal to watch you not TRY. I care through my refusal to watch you do things that I know is not good for you. I care through my refusal to watch you not be honorable. We as black people are not thuggs, ghetto, and gangsters. We are very intelligent people who need to focus our stregnths in the right direction. This is my love for all my children. I have found that when you start out all ready behind the eight ball that you don't have time to play games. It's the way I Father, Pastor, Coach and do Business. I will never change from that because there is too much at stake. I love you guys, your brother and Davion. I want you to do well in life and I will still be there to coach you, push you, father you and pastor you. You are my children and I am committed to you in doing right, but not in doing wrong. Take life serious because you owe a whole lot more to the world and those who struggled before any of us then you can imagine. I expect the classroom, books and hardwork to become your friend and not your foe. Love life and opportunity. Do your best and don't settle to always find a short cut. There are no short cuts in life ... only long hard fought roads. I love you and this is my letter to you on this great American Historical Day...November 5, 2008.

Love Always and Forever,

Daddy.

Book: The Spirit of GREED

Here I am on the eve before one of the most important days that this country has ever faced in the history of it's existence. Tommorrow this nation will choose the new presidency for this nation. Never in the history of this land a Black man has ever been seriously considered as occupying the highest seat as President and Commander in Chief of this nation. 400 years ago in 1607 the first Dutch slave ship transfered 20 African slaves to this new colony. Ever since, the African American people have suffered to be heard, acknowledge, respected, and taken seriously as people and furthermore; leaders in this nation. After 400 years of being disrepected and mistreated, by this time tommorrow, many will have decided if a black man can lead this nation in order to turn our economy around. Senator Barrack Obama has come up out of no where and captured the heart of the people of this nation. 2 years ago I started writing this book "The spirit of Greed" right after I finished my first project "CHOOSE." Strangely enough, after writing several chapters in this book, I struggled with be able to finish this project. I would be held up by the "Spirit of the Lord" to pay attention to many more things before I could continue to write on this subject. Several times in 2007 I tried to finish this project, but could not continue therein. It became my personal goal to have it completed by Thanksgiving 2007. Again, nothing was coming to me to write. It would not be until fall of 2008 that the Lord would begin to pour again into my spirit the completion of this book. Let me say that, when I started this project 2 years ago, I had not the elections or even this nations economy in mind. But in this past year, that has been the main subject in our daily news. Our nations has faced some of the worse economic crisis since man has stepped foot in this country. It has been so bad that never in life did I think that many of our white brothers and sisters would band together with blacks, hispanics, jews...etc, and show that we must come together and do what is necessary to turn our nation around. It has been a humbling experience to see this country come together for the same cause. I didn't realize it 2 years ago when the Spirit of the Lord gave me this subject of the "spirit of Greed" that I would be writing about the very thing that many are now realizing that has brought our nation to economic disaster. This book can not have been written more timely. The spirit of Greed has rocked this nation to the point that people of all races, beliefs, and backgrounds are showing early in the polls that they for the first time, are willing to put the first black man in public office as the President of these United States to turn this economy around. They are willing to take control from those who have abused money and power and give it to another party. I am suddenly reminded of the words that God spoke to Abram in Genesis 15:13-14 "Know for certain that your descdants will be strangers in a country not their own, and they will be enslaved and mistreated for 400 years. But I will punish that nation they serve as slaves." It would be exactly 400 years when this black man hit the campaign trail in 2007 and started sweeping the support of this nation to the credit of the greed of many wealthy legislators, brokers, and bankers that abused the resources of 95 percent of Americans. The book "The spirit of Greed" is not only dealing with the greed for money and power. It deals with greed in relationships, in parenting, in business, in music and in your community. Greed is proving itself to be the most vilest and out of control spirits that we all will ever face and have to deal with in this life. Please feel free to contact me via email for your Pre-Order. The printed copies of this book will be available NLT February 28, 2009. The Price will be $15.95.

Book: CHOOSE II "15 biblical principles to overcome a Betrayal in your life"

After writing my first book entitled “CHOOSE”, I knew there would be a sequel to that project. It was burning in my spirit. But I did not know what, when or how it would be released. I knew there was something else coming. CHOOSE II is the second part of my first project that the Spirit of the Lord has placed in my heart. The only difference is that the 15 biblical principals that the Lord has given me to share with others in this writing is: "How to overcome the Betrayals that we experience in life." I have found and experienced that many of us live this life in Christ, but we are no more equipped, qualified or trained to handle a betrayal than we are prepared to be the next man or woman on the moon. We learn so much in our educational systems, but we are never taught by our lecturers what to do when a betrayal comes our way. Jesus was betrayed by the very people that he loved, fed and ministered to. He is the epitome that the Father has chosen to teach us how to overcome such treachery in our lives. I have raised three children and have pastored for over 12 years, but never have I taught my kids or parishioners how to overcome being betrayed. In fact, many say that betrayal is the last stage that we all go through before great promotion. I’m not sure how true that is, but we know that Jesus was betrayed by Judas before his greatest promotion which led to his ascension in heaven. He now sits at the right hand of the Father, high and lifted up, making intercession for you and me. Please feel free to contact me by email for your Pre-Order. The book is being made ready for print and copies will be available NLT February 28, 2009. We will keep you posted on its print. Price: $15.95

Book: CHOOSE "Despite drama & trauma - 12 biblical choices to stay on course with your God given purpose"

New author Pastor Kenneth G. Bordeaux pens his first powerful book of 12 biblical principles to stay on course and move forward in your God given purpose. We must choose and make decisions despite the many pitfalls, challenges, temptations, struggles and set backs that life will bring. In order to reach our full maximized potential in God, we will constantly have to make the tough choices that move us towards our destiny and not away from our ability. In order to do this it takes wisdom, knowledge, understanding, information, revelation and motivation.


“CHOOSE”, (Printed by Morris Publishing; January 2007; $15.95) was written with a certain kind of person in mind. Vast amounts of people in the world have a great feeling and conviction of purpose and success. They are going about their everyday profession or doing whatever pays the bills. Despite all of life’s dysfunctions, deep down inside they feel a need, faith, and belief to do more, and be more. Its one thing for them to have strong convictions, but its another thing for them to live a life that creates an atmosphere for that which lies mysteriously deep inside them to come to fruition.

On one hand, they find themselves warring against everything that stands diabolically opposed to what they dream and know how God desire things to be. On the other hand, they know that life can be and is about more than what they are witnessing and experiencing. Regardless of their distinct desires for better, these people need coaching, training, wisdom, knowledge, understanding and motivation to help them make the right choices that guarantees life, fulfillment of purpose and success.

It is these battles that we face and must make the decisions that promotes what we want verses what we don’t want. Many are stuck in such a place because we are afraid to “Choose”. We don’t believe in our ability to make the right choice. Like a car in four feet of snow, we know that we are not suppose to be there, but we can’t move forward or backwards in order to get out. We know that something is wrong and missing to get us moving forward. Could it be a shovel or a good choice to dig our way out! The ability to choose life based on biblical principles is not easy, but it is the shovel that we need in order to start living and put an end to dying. If a person has any divine purpose predetermined for their life, life will try to entangle them in many things of which they are going to have to learn how to choose their way out in order to fulfill their God given purpose. They are going to have to become proficient at choosing life over death, blessings over cursings.

“CHOOSE” is Godly principles that will provide a person with the tools they need in order to dig their way out of any life messes and keep them on track to divine fulfillment, life and peace. CHOOSE provides the spiritual coaching, training, mentoring, and motivation that people need to succeed. If your life at times is filled with drama, trauma, discouragement and disappointment, you will benefit from this book to be encouraged on how to CHOOSE your way out.

You will learn such biblical principles on how to choose for certain things to stop in your life, choose to keep your head in difficult situations, choose to be obedient, choose to take off their old nature and put on the new, choose to walk in the Spirit, choose what you think, choose to change your environment, choose to advance in life, choose God’s glory, choose to agree, and choose your faith over crisis. “CHOOSE” will have the impact on a person’s thoughts, mind, and heart that many so desperately need in order to change their lives.
