"Serving" in the midst of transition.

Have you ever found yourself at a place in your life where God has brought you out of where you used to be, yet, you haven't quite arrived at where He's called you to be, and it seems like you are just lingering somewhere in between? Or, you are trusting God for something and it seems like He's forgotten you. I know that this a very frustrating place to be. You see others getting promotions, new jobs, a reliable vehicle, financial increase, a child, a spouse, healing, a home, a ministry, and the list could go on. The enemy begins to whisper things to you like, "God is not going to do it. He's not with you. Look at your life. Where is God?" The answer is simple, but, you have to decide for yourself that this is what you are going to do. In the midst of your transition, you must simply find a way to "serve" others. Think about the farmer. When he or she plants their seed in the ground, they don't sit there staring at the ground waiting for their harvest. If they did, they would probably get discouraged very quickly. Why? Seed time and harvest time is a process. The farmer goes off to tend to other things, with a deep knowing that the harvest will surely come in due season, because the principles of seedtime and harvest work. If God has begun a process in your life, He will surely complete it, in due season. His word says that He will complete the good thing in you that He has begun, surely, without your help! I added that last part. (smile) So, do something other then what you are believing God for. Find a way to serve others. Stay busy for the Lord, and before you know, instead of you waiting on your harvest, your harvest will be waiting on you.

Public Safety "Prayer Wall"

Greetings everyone. I'm writing to let you know about the Public Safety "Prayer Wall" that is being constructed in Baltimore, MD. Insignia patches from police departments, corrections, campus police, special police, military police, private security, parole & probation, local, state, federal, national, international, etc. are needed to complete this project. The wall will be inside of the prayer room at Rock City Church in Baltimore. The patches will be housed in a secured case mounted on the wall. There is prayer 24 hours per day, seven days per week in this prayer room. If you are in the public safety field or if you have family and friends in this field, then you know how important prayer is and how desperately we need it. Officers are being ambushed, killed in auto accidents, marriages are being torn apart, children are being affected because of broken relationships, officers are committing suicide, financial problems, health problems, internal problems within departments, division in law enforcement, and the list could go on. Help me complete this project! I believe that there is a special place in the heart of God for public safety personnel. He has a special plan and purpose for our lives. Read Romans chapter 13, especially the "message bible" version. With that said, if you are able to assist by sending an insignia patch (the patch that is placed on the sleeve of a uniform) to go on the wall, so the men and women of that particular department can be consistently covered in prayer, please send an email to me at efieldsjr@verizon.net and I will provide you with the shipping address. God is truly up to something in law enforcement and public safety!!!

Police Suicide Awareness

Many people don't know that every 22 hrs., somewhere in the United States, a police officer commits suicide. These numbers are staggering. The stress associated with law enforcement, coupled with the stress of everyday life (relationships, children, money, health, etc.) tends to leave some of our men and women in blue in a state of hopelessness. What do you do when you spend 8 to 10 hours per day helping everyone else with their problems, and then you go home and struggle, silently, with your own? Join me on my blog talk radio show entitled "Shift Change Global Radio" at www.blogtalkradio.com/shiftchangeproject as I discuss this very pressing issue.

THE ORIGINAL BLUEPRINT FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT!

I encourage all law enforcement to read Romans chapter 13 and ask God for understanding. This is the original blueprint for law enforcement. Just like anything else, the finished product should resemble it's blueprint. I spoke about Romans 13, just a little, in my last posted blog entitled, "What are your thoughts on this?" Please feel free to read it and leave a comment. God is up to something in law enforcement!

What are your thoughts on this?

In Romans chapter 13, (The Message Version) the Bible explains to us, as police, where our authority comes from and how we should use it. But, one thing sticks out in this chapter that really makes me think. It says that good citizens should not be afraid of the police, but, those that break the law had better "watch out." Is it just me, or, are things backwards, in the times that we currently live in. It seems like good citizens are afraid of many police officers and the criminals appear to have no fear, nor respect for police. Why is this? Well, the Bible goes on to say that all governments are under God, as long as there is "peace and order." In many police departments, worldwide, it appears that there is no peace within. There is a lot of back stabbing, power struggles, insubordination, no loyalty, and a lack of adherence to protocol. Most police have gone from being public servants to being self servants, to include police leadership. An "all about me" phase. The word servant can be evenly exchanged with the word, minister. Ministers are considered servants. So, in Romans 13, if God calls police officers "His ministers" (KJV) or "His servants" (Contemporary English Version), where is the public ministry or the public service? It is impossible to enforce the law effectively and to maintain order in a city or municipality, if there is no order, accountability, peace, integrity, loyalty, adherence to protocol, nor unity, in the department. Most important of all, there must be an understanding in regards to what a police officer is, what a police officer does, and where their true authority comes from. I would encourage police officers, worldwide, to read and understand Romans chapter 13. Understanding your divine position of authority will change your method of policing. It changed mine. Psalm 127 states that unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchmen stand guard in vain. Who are the watchmen (not just the police) and is anyone else out there tired of standing guard and watching in vain? Many leaders are pleading to the public for help in reducing crime in their cities. Why consult the ones that you are supposed to protect and serve, instead of consulting the very One who gives you your authority in the first place? God establishes laws and He uses police officers to enforce them, because He is a God of law and order. It should be a privilege and an honor to serve within His rank and file! What are your thoughts on this?

Ready for surgery.

I undergo reconstructive surgery on my right ankle tomorrow from my line of duty injury. I believe that all will go well. God will guide the hand of the surgeon and I'm trusting Him for a complete and speedy recovery. So, if I don't blog tomorrow, that means that I'm still under the influence of the pain medication. My blog talk radio show (Shift Change Global Radio) will go on as planned on Thursday at 10:00 am eastern standard time. I'm excited about it. It's the beginning of the Testimony Series. So, if you are a police officer and you have a testimony about what God is doing in law enforcement, call in during the show. The world needs to hear! You can click on the link below to get to the talk show. You will find the call- in number on my shows home page. We'll talk soon. Remember, God is up to something in law enforcement!

Update on my first book signing.

My first book signing went great! The best part of all was the fact that my family showed up in full force. I had family from Maryland as well as North Carolina there to support me. On the outside, everyone could see my smile, but, on the inside, my spirit was leaping with limitless joy! Let me tell you why. Sometimes we have a need or a hunger that we sometimes can't identify. All we know is that something is missing. Well, I had a hunger and I was fed until I couldn't take anymore. That hunger was "fellowship." There is nothing like fellowship. Have you ever tasted a certain food and as soon as it touched your taste buds, you were reminded of how much you missed it. It tasted so good that it made you reminisce about old times. You begin to smile and maybe even started to dance a little bit. Well, that's how I felt today. Oh, by the way, I sold some books, too. I almost forgot about that part. I got caught up in all of the loooove! I would like to thank my co-workers, Baltimore's Finest, for supporting me. I would also like to thank my former commander, but, present friend and mentor Neil Franklin for once again supporting me in one of my many endeavors. What more can I ask for? I don't know if I can handle Volume 2. Just kidding. If you know me, you know that volume 2 is already on the way. I keep trying to tell people that God is up to something in law enforcement! Stay tuned! One last thing. I would like to say Happy Birthday to my brother Curtis!!! He's also a new daddy, too!!! If anybody out there needs a part-time job, I think my brother is hiring. He's looking for an on- call PCE. "Pamper Changing Engineer." Ha Ha

My First Book Signing Event!

My first book signing event is tomorrow, Thursday August 23, 2007. Since I don't have a publicist, I've been doing all of the advertising myself. This has been a learning experience, to say the least, yet, it has been very enjoyable. I don't know how many people to expect or how many books will be sold, but, I'm excited! I know that God is all over this project and I know that tomorrow will turn out to be more then I could have ever imagined. It's funny how God will do exceedingly, abundantly, and above all that we can ask or think! If you would like more information on my book or the book signing event, visit my website. http://www.shiftchangeproject.com/

Well, it's time to pray and then get some rest. I have a BIG day tomorrow! Stay tuned. I'll keep you updated.
***ebook Coming Soon!!!***

First Blog Talk Show Segment

I hosted my first live blog talk show today. To be honest, I was very nervous. I thought about cancelling or rescheduling the show at least 6 times between yesterday and 45 seconds to airtime this morning. But, I prayed, and I put it in God's hands. Once I began to talk, I started to get comfortable and before long, I felt like an old pro. (not quite) When I finished the show, which was simply a 15 minute introduction and promotional spot for my new book, "Shift Change," I was so glad that I didn't cancel. I kept telling myself that God has not given me the spirit of fear, over and over and over again. It was fun. I'm sure I'll generate some nice blooper material, but, I'm convinced that I'll get better with time. I look forward to sharing what God has placed in my heart for law enforcement, worldwide. Tune in to my next show! Click the talk show link on this page and get all of the details. My next few segments will be testimonies from officers, worldwide. If God has been using you or you've had experiences at work where Heaven intervened, email me at shiftchange@verizon.net so that you can be a special guest on my show. Or, you can simply call (646)-716-9036 during the show and give your testimony. I'm convinced that God is up to something in law enforcement!

Preparation For Duty

This is how I prepare for duty. "As God's official law enforcement agent, I come in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. I decree and I declare that in this battle, no weapon formed against me or my co-workers shall prosper. Father, train me to have sniper-like accuracy in the spirit. Let every word that I speak right now take on the characteristics of divine projectiles in the realm of the spirit and let each one hit it's target center mass! Father, let every diabolical covert operation, ambush, tactic and maneuver against law enforcement fail, in Jesus' name! Lord, I establish divine boundaries and perimeters around my assigned post and in the name of Jesus, I shut down, cancel, nullify and veto all unlawful plots, plans, ploys, and strategies within these boundaries. I seal this prayer in Jesus' name. Amen!"

Obedience saved my life!

One night, there was a shooting in my sector. Because I wasn't the primary investigating officer, I had to secure the crime scene. My patrol car was parked in the middle of the street with the strobe lights flashing. All of a sudden, I felt a strong desire to praise God. Now mind you, I'm standing in the middle of the street in full uniform. I thought to myself, "How am I gonna look standing with my hands lifted up to the Lord, in the middle of a crime scene?" Then the Lord said, "Get in the car, now, and praise Me!" So, I got into my car and I began to praise my Lord and after about 30 seconds, 8 gunshots rang out! I saw people running. No one got hurt. Thank God! I initially thought that this may have been the reason that God had me praising Him. I could have been interceding for someone who was about to get shot. Suddenly, 2 undercover officers walked over to me and one of them said, "Officer Fields, a citizen said that a car stopped in the intersection two blocks away from here and a man got out of the car and began to shoot at you." "Shoot at me!" I thought. As the officers drove away, I looked toward heaven and a tear rolled down my face. It finally made sense. Had I not obeyed the Lord by getting into my car when He told me to, even when it didn't make sense, I could have been killed. I didn't even know that I was in danger, but, God knew! Obedience saved my life!!!

SEPTEMBER 11TH PRAYER

LORD, I THANK YOU FOR YOUR MERCY AND YOUR GRACE. I'M SIMPLY IN AWE OF YOU. FATHER, I DECREE AND I DECLARE THAT HURT AND SORROW ARE FAR FROM THE FAMILIES OF OUR FALLEN HEROS AS WE APPROACH THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE SEPTEMBER 11 TRAGEDY. I PROHIBIT THE ENEMY FROM OPERATING THROUGH OR INFLUENCING THE MIND OR SOUL OF ANYONE THAT COMES INTO CONTACT WITH ANY FAMILY MEMBER OF OUR FALLEN HEROES. EXPEDITE THE HEALING PROCESS IN JESUS NAME! LORD, I SUPERIMPOSE PEACEFUL THINKING OVER EVERY THOUGHT OF HATE AND REVENGE, BECAUSE, YOUR WORD SAYS THAT VENGEANCE IS YOURS! ANGELS, EXCEL IN STRENGTH , NOW! COMFORT THOSE THAT NEED TO BE COMFORTED. ENCOURAGE THOSE THAT NEED TO BE ENCOURAGED. SPEAK LIFE TO THOSE WHO DESIRE TO GIVE UP. LORD, LET EVERY DIABOLICAL COVERT OPERATION AGAINST YOUR PEOPLE BE MADE OVERT, EASILY IDENTIFIABLE, AND DOWNLOAD INTO LAW ENFORCEMENT LEADERSHIP, DIVINE TACTICAL COUNTER MEASURES AND PROVIDE UNEXPECTED INTELLIGENCE FROM UNEXPECTED SOURCES. I NULLIFY, VETO AND CANCEL EVERY FUTURE DIABOLICAL PLAN OF THE ENEMY TO ATTACK OUR COUNTRY, AND I DECREE AND DECLARE THAT EVERY PLOT, PLOY, TACTIC AND MANEUVER LAUNCHED AGAINST OUR COUNTRY FAIL, IN JESUS NAME! LORD, SMOKE OUT EVERY AGENT OF DARKNESS WHO HAS INFILTRATED LAW ENFORCEMENT AND ARE HANDING OUR STRATEGIES AND PLANS OVER TO THE ENEMY. CAUSE THEM TO BE CONFUSED, LET THEM TURN ON EACH OTHER, AND LET THEIR PLANS FAIL, IN JESUS NAME! I DECREE AND DECLARE THAT THIS SEPTEMBER 11 BE A TIME TO REJOICE AND NOT A TIME TO CRY. A TIME TO LOVE AND NOT A TIME TO HATE. A TIME TO BOND AND NOT A TIME TO BREAK. FATHER, STRENGTHEN YOUR PEOPLE, LOVE ON YOUR PEOPLE, COMFORT YOUR PEOPLE, SPEAK TO YOUR PEOPLE. KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS, BE GLORIFIED AND MAKE YOUR PRESENCE KNOWN. I SEAL THIS PRAYER IN JESUS NAME. AMEN.

"A shift in your thinking will produce change in your life!"

Assume the position!

When I lie down to do push-ups, I feel myself getting stronger, but, when I lie down to worship my Father in Heaven, I feel invincible. Training your body is very important, but, there is nothing like laying at the feet of the King! Assuming the "push-up position" takes dedication, drive, and discipline. Assuming the "worship position" takes humility, love, and discipline as well! So, the next time you fall face down on the floor after knocking out those 100 push-ups, don't use that as a time to recover, use it as a time to surrender!!! It's not how you end up there, just get there, and your life will never be the same.

Good Leader / Poor Leader

There are two types of leaders. Good leaders and poor leaders. Unfortunately, in order to become successful, you need them both. The "good leaders" builds your character. They encourage you to do your best. They make you feel as though you are apart of something great. You don't mind going above and beyond your regular duties for them. Your performance is enhanced. You begin to model yourself after them. You would follow them into battle without question. You defend them when someone says something negative about them. You can't imagine working for anyone else! Suddenly, this good leader gets promoted and he/she is replaced by a "poor leader". The poor leader is unorganized and late for work. They talk down to you. You are required to do your job and their job as well. You're made to feel like nothing that you do is right. The atmosphere at work is filled with tension and sarcasm and you struggle with wanting to find another place to work, but, for some strange reason, you decide to stay and persevere. Why? It's only a test. The good leader helped to build your character. The poor leader tests your character! It's easy to submit to the authority of someone that you respect. How hard is it to submit to someone who you despise and have no respect for at all? It's easy to stay focused and keep your joy with someone who encourages you. It's hard to stay focused and keep your joy with a leader who talks down to you and frustrates you to no end. Just know that all leadership comes from God. You need both types of leaders in your life in order for you to reach your full potential. Remember, even in school, graduation or promotion always came after you had successfully passed the test. Stop focusing on the person. Focus on your season. What season are you in? Are you in a season of being built or are you in a season of being tested? If you can accurately discern your current season, you will respond completely different. That poor leader is going to be a thorn in your side until you pass "the test." God sees everything that the poor leader is doing and is allowing it to happen, because, it's vital to your development and your purpose. When you finally pass "the test" you will either get some form of promotion, transfer, or that poor leader will be moved to another assignment. Don't focus on what other people do to you. Focus on your response to what other people do to you. That is what causes Heaven to move on your behalf!

Line of Duty Injury

I'm having reconstructive surgery on my right ankle in 2 weeks due to a line of duty injury. I was told that I would have about 85% mobility in that ankle after the surgery and physical therapy. That's not acceptable! I don't think that the doctors know the God that I serve and how healing is apart of His very nature. I decree and declare that my right ankle will function according to God's original design for my skeletal system and I command every bone and piece of cartilage that is out of place to realign itself according to Gods original blueprint for my body. Let it be so, in Jesus name! If you are reading this and you have the time, give me your best prayer in the comments section. God says that if any two gather together in His name, they can ask for anything and It shall done. (I paraphrased it) I'm believing God for 100% recovery, a complete healing, and a speedy recovery. God's not finished with me , yet, in law enforcement! Who said police don't know how to pray?

Why me?

Do you ever feel like no matter what you do, especially at work, it's never good enough? You get reprimanded for things that others do freely. You get moved around as though you are a problem employee. Other people get credit for things that you do, or for doing less than you do. Your supervisor is hard on you for no reason and your co-workers talk about you behind your back. You feel that your employer does not support you and the citizens that you protect and serve do not appreciate you because of what other officers have done. You struggle with wanting to leave and go someplace where you will feel appreciated, but, for some strange reason, you decide to stay and persevere. You begin to ask yourself, "Why me?"

Well, if God says that all things will work together for your good if you love Him and are called according to His purpose, then, why not you? Everything must work out in your favor! For instance, when you get transferred, perhaps you assignment is finished and God needs you somewhere else. When you get reprimanded, perhaps God is teaching you how to submit to authority. When other people get credit for what you did, perhaps God is teaching you how to be humble. When people talk about you, perhaps your potential intimidates them.

Needless to say, faith is so important. Faith doesn't always change your situation, but, it changes how you look at your situation, which ultimately changes your response to you situation. The trials that you face are necessary to build your faith and your character. "A shift in your thinking produces change in your life."

Keep your heads up!

Lately, there has been a lot of negative press about law enforcement. In any organization, you are going to have a few bad apples in the bunch. The officers that make the news for scandals only represent a very small percentage of law enforcement. The majority of police, nationwide, are hard working, ethical, caring, professional, compassionate men and women who are very skillful at what they do and are proud to wear their uniform. Many people have had negative encounters with police officers, but, I encourage you all to not judge the multitude by a bad experience. It hurts as an officer to genuinely extend your heart and service to a citizen to only to be prejudged, rejected and cursed because of what another officer did. To those officers that are out there doing it right, but, are getting tired and fed up, my heart and prayers go out to you and I encourage you all to keep your heads up! Help is on the way! God is up to something in law enforcement!!!

Check out my new book at http://www.shiftchangeproject.com/

God is up to something in law enforcement!

Law enforcement and public safety officials spend the majority of their day pouring out of themselves into the lives of others and many times are left empty. Low on patience, gentleness, trust, happiness, and sometimes, even faith. Seeing the worst of the worst day in and day out can affect your mind, body, soul, and spirit. Who ministers to and replenishes what has been poured out of our police? Behind every hurting officer is a hurting family. The families of officers, worldwide, are home crying out to God on behalf of their loved ones. It's time to engage in spiritual warfare and begin to start praying effectively, tactically, and with a purpose, for our police. God is up to something in law enforcement! A "shift" in our thinking and prayer life will produce "change" in the lives of our police and the cities that they protect and serve. God is up to something in law enforcement!

My new book is entitled "Shift Change." It is a must read for law enforcement and the families of police officers, worldwide! Go to my website http://www.shiftchangeproject.com/ for more information or to make a purchase.
