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! You heard it here, first!

Calling All Law Enforcement And Security!!!

Starting on Thursday, August 30, 2007, I will be starting a new series on my blog radio talk show, entitled "Testimony Series." You can go to www.blogtalkradio.com/shiftchangeproject for more information. I'm encouraging police and security officers, worldwide, to be apart of this very important show. (USA, Europe, Africa, Asia, South America, etc.) I want to show another side of law enforcement and security. God is up to something in our field, and it's up to us to tell about it! What has God done for you or through you, while you were at work? I have plenty of work related testimonies. I shared one on my blog recently. It's called, "Obedience saved my life!" Check it out. People need to know these things. The airways are filled with negative press about law enforcement. It's time for that to change! People need to know that we pray, not just for ouselves and our families, but, for and with each other. So, join me as we set the airways on fire for Jesus! "I might be the spark, but, we all have to be the blaze!" If you wish to be a special guest, please e-mail me as soon as possible so that we can discuss the format of the show. efieldsjr@verizon.net If you would like to call in during the live broadcast, just go to my talk show's website and there you will find the call- in number. Stay safe and remember, God is up to something in law enforcement! You heard it here first!

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.

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!!!

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.
