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!!!
