Racism is Not the Major Issue

So much hatred and violence from the supremacists and the equally corresponding evil neo-supremacists (the Progressives). Racism is not the major issue, but mankind’s evil heart and the perpetuation of secular humanism and for power and control of humanity and the earth. Evil is spewing out of the mouths of our leaders, some more pronounced and forthright without thought nor humility. But many more deceptive messengers that come as ‘angels of light’ but are really demonic in their madness, control and devestation. The promotion of perversity and prejudice are being stirred by the politicians and the news media who pick and choose the truth by which they live.
A divided country is where I think God is taking us as we are led astray by our own fleshly desires, our acceptance of perverse lifestyles, the love of evil and the desire for recreation to ‘feel’ happy. The escalation of this atmosphere of evil has really exponentially grown in the last 10 years. A spiritual corner has been turned, and not a good one. The sad part s that most ‘Christians’ didn’t even realize it, or if they did, did anything about it. Things that we once fought against, people are fighting for. Evil is not only knocking on our doors of life but we invite it in and give a room or even ownership. We call evil, good and good, evil based upon feelings and the flesh. What was once ‘common sense’ is now more like ‘common depravity’. We live in a culture of circular offense and victimization where we are replaying the past – 24/7. 
 
The saddest part is that truth is relative and lies are deceptive. The antidote to this current Luciferian movement within politics, the culture and entertainment/media is the gospel. But, we have lost our First Love in favor of attendance, buildings, atmosphere, feelings, itching ears, etc. Pastors that talk about and are molded by the culture we live in more than the Kingdom where we are suppose to flourish within. Leaders who are carnally minded on the fleshly pursuits rather than seeking His Kingdom and righteousness. Churches of thousands who are into atmosphere and building projects rather than repentance and revival. Where God is calling forth a prophetic word of repentance and revelation, it has been replaced by a pathetic word of indulgence and divination. And if this grieves my heart to the point of sorrow, how much more is God’s heart grieved by this harlot generation of these churches, their leaders and congregants.
 
“For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions.” 2 Timothy 4:3
 
We are getting what we ask for. It appears God’s judgement is at hand. He is separating the sheep from the goats. The goats are covenanting with evil and finding themselves on the same side as anti-Christian groups. Dulled senses no longer are attentive to the truth. They only see the superficial, not the underlying spirits behind the actions.
 
Sad part is that in the culling of the two, there are a lot less sheep than most expect. More and more people are siding with the world and its desires. No wonder Jesus said He must cut the days short or maybe no one righteous with faith would be found. 
How much longer oh Lord?
How many will be found with faith?

Are You a Stumbling Block?

Revelation 2:14 
‘But I have a few things against you, because you have there some who hold the teaching of Balaam, who kept teaching Balak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols and to commit acts of immorality.’
 
The churches and their leaders are mimicking the mistakes referred to here in this verse. No true follower of Christ will agree with evil, or remain silent about it. Only those who are deceived and have a covenant made with the world will promote and thus place stumbling blocks n the way of people finding the Lord. Placing a stumbling block that leads others towards sin is a SIN to me. And there are a huge number of things in our lives that are or will be stumbling blocks to others.
Remember to seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness, put on Christ and be a light into this world. We should and will be a counter-culture to the world’s destructive and demonized patterns of anguish and addiction. This is why we must stand up for what is right(eous). Not because it politically fits or is popular. Not because it promotes that man is basically good. But because ‘we’ are lights and emit the Truth into a world that is headed for hell. We are becoming the lone voices in the wilderness preaching and teaching the powerful, Good News of Jesus Christ.
To know the Truth and not to live it or speak it, is to deny the Truth. Denying the Truth reveals that the Truth is not in you! I believe it is a sin NOT to lead people to the holiness and righteousness of Christ. After all, God created us to be made in His image. Any promotion of the world or secular humanism is contrary to our calling. Thus we become a stumbling block as was Balaam. Balaam sabotaged God’s truth by promoting evil and sinful desires that entice the flesh of God’s people. That is why we try not to promote evil desires nor remain quiet as people are plummeting toward hell.
Rise up Church and stand for righteousness and walk in it also.
Are you a stumbling block?

The True Gospel that Gives Life!

Secular humanists, progressives and ‘perversionists’ are outraged at the term ‘reparative therapy’. Even pseudo-Christians that have fallen for the neo-grace movement and the revised ‘Jesus’ that is being preached from the pulpits and ministries, are propagating this doctrine of demons talked about in scripture. The Gospel message is that we are all born into sin and sinful desires. The only things good inside of us are the qualities of God that represent His holiness and righteousness. The Gospel message is all about ‘reparation therapy’ provided by Jesus Christ at the cross, because of His blood and the work of the Holy Spirit. We are to die to our pasts and repent from our sinful desires we are born into. We all have been born into sin and its desires. Our sin qualities and attributes are much more prevalent and obvious than our reflection of our Creator and Maker. Most of what and who we are born ‘as’, reflects much more of  our sinfulness, than any minute resemblance to His Godliness even though His purpose is for us to attain His character through the acceptance and the following of Jesus Christ.
Yet, the 21st century pseudo-gospel says, ‘we are all good, God is made in our image and we are born righteous. We don’t need to change, just add the ‘condiment’ of Jesus to our already good life and we are set to go.’
What a farce to the intention and action Jesus did at the cross. All have fallen short of the Glory of God. Without repentance through dying to ourselves and our fleshly desires, and putting on the righteousness of Christ, we will end up in hell.
Since the True Gospel of Truth isn’t being preached, we see a generation of people led astray by their own, fleshly desires into chains of bondage and suicidal lifestyles. Jesus came to break us away from these things, instead, we have chained up the Biblical Gospel from transforming lives out of darkness and into the light. We are entering into a time where hearts are growing colder, scales are getting thicker over people’s eyes that they are blinded tot the Truth, and deafness is muting the message of the Gospel.
We are told that the world will know us (true followers of Jesus) by our love. Our love for His, His righteousness, His Truth and His ways. And through that love, we will love others enough to tell them the Truth that will set them free!!! Free from destruction! Free from evil desires! Free to choose life giving choices! Free to say no to sin, and yes to God! Free to be free from our past and the sinful desires we were born into and were the desires of our hearts! Free to be empowered by the Gospel to live above the temptations and lusts of heart, lusts of the flesh and the pride of life!
Could it be that Jesus’s return is eminent within a short time?
If Jesus won’t return until the last possible person is to be saved and the deception of the pseudo-gospel is hardening people’s heart like He did pharaoh’s, then just maybe we are watching the closing out of time. There is a form of godliness occurring, but it lacks the power of the gospel to transform the lives of sinners.
The culture and many churches are preaching a different Jesus and that the way we are born is the way God created us to be. That is spiritual hogwash!!! Because you were born, you deserve to go to hell! BUT, Jesus came to reverse that curse if we follow him through repentance and the ‘reparation therapy’ provided by Christ through the Holy Spirit. Jesus said we must die to ourselves and our sinful desires of the flesh. Then, we can put on Christ and live for Him.
“Sin” is a four letter word to most people. They get offended by it if they feel it is referenced towards them. The shallowness of a carnal culture has driven people to self-indulgence and self-gratification to ease the pain of the consequences of sin. instead of turning to the Gospel that can repair them and renew them for evermore, they turn to choices that inflict more pain and emptiness into their lives.
Accept the Truth! Embrace the Truth! You deserve to go to hell! BUT, Jesus paid the way for you to enter into His rest and fulness! But, you MUST deny yourself (and your fleshly desires), and pick up your cross to follow Him! You weren’t born righteous, but Jesus made a way to attain it. Choose this day who you will serve. Who you serve will determine where you will end up. It’s simple geography and mapping skills just applied to spiritual outcomes. Quit listening to the wolves in sheep’s clothing that are leading people straight to hell. If you are following the doctrines of the world, they will lead you straight to hell. What the world (and its people) accepts and promotes is contrary to the substance of God. The Gospel and its Truth is a counterculture. The world is floating down a river that leads to a waterfall of destruction. Jesus has empowered us to swim upstream to the destruction. The church is a counterculture!
Jesus said “I AM the Way, the Truth and the Life”. You want everlasting life? You must bow to His truth! You must follow His ways! You must accept His life that He has given you! Today is a great day to begin living for Him as you find out what ‘life’ is all about!

People Get Ready! Church Get Ready!

Pray for our country! Pray against the spiritual war coming against our families, men, women and children! This is a spiritual fight that we see revealed in Revelation, Matthew, Thessalonians, etc. Pray that the followers of Christ will not be distracted by what the scriptures refer to as “doctrines of demons” and “led astray by our own evil desires”.
 
The Bible talks about how mankind will accept things that were once taboo and make mainstream the things that were once practiced in darkness and behind closed doors. Mankind will call/embrace what is evil and call it good, and call the good things of God – evil! Mankind will be lovers of themselves as they fulfill the lusts of the eyes, Lust of the flesh and the pride of life. It will be focus upon feelings and desires. Mankind will embrace the “New Enlightenment” of the “One World – No Borders – Total Acceptance/Approval of All Life Choices – …” Luciferian doctrines will come in the form of ‘light’ (enlightenment) but really is setting up the foundation by which the One World, New Order Dictator will come into power. The stage is being set. The people are being led astray. The ‘Church’ is morphing into the One World religious movement. What’s next? Hear what the Spirit is saying to prepare His Church to be a counter-culture to the wave of evil being propagated!
 
Jesus warned that if He didn’t cut the time short, none would be found faithful. Even the elect may be fooled. The Church has become a harlot with the world and its ways. It has transgressed against God’s Word and Truth. But, we know there will be a remnant of the Church that will remain faithful! Hopefully it will be YOU!
 
Remember how Jesus lived and what He demonstrated for us by His example. Remember how the disciples lived, and their disciples. Remember how God responded to the types of churches represented in Revelation. Which one resembles you and your walk? Which one represents your church you attend? 
 
If Jesus came back today, have you lived a life that glorifies God? Have you lived a life that embraces the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ? Have you placed your life upon the solid Rock – Jesus? Have you lived a life that proclaims the Kingdom within you, and the directives of the Holy Spirit who is setting upon the throne of your heart?
 
Faith and belief are rooted in more than knowing. They are both saturated in lifestyles that are night and day different than what you were before you turned your life over to Christ. Scripture says we must be ‘Born Again’. We become new creatures with a new focus, new hope, new direction, new passion, new dreams, new life! Does this describe your walk of faith and belief in Jesus Christ? Or is Jesus more of condiment in your smorgasbord of indulgences of life and this world? Do you want just a little bit of Jesus to keep you out of hell, but enough hell to fulfill your indulgences of sinful fun to feed your fleshly desires?
 
Are you ready to meet your Maker? Maybe tonight is the night! Don’t be caught distracted and fulfilling the desires of the flesh. We have only two options:
1. Jesus returns and we get judged, or
2. We die, and go to Him to be judged
 
Either way you will be judged. You will either receive heaven, or hell. No other choices! No matter what religion, or no religion (which is a religion), or opinion you have, or …, TRUTH states you will be judged!!!
 
ARE YOU READY? Respond to His loving present of eternal life that He has prepared for us as He wants to restore us to a right relationship back to Himself. We need to quit being religious, and start stepping into a real and restored relationship with the King of kings, and the Lord of lords.
Today is a great day to start your new life with Him! 
Today, could be the first day of the rest of your ‘eternal’ life!!!

‘Sloppy Agape’ =A Powerless Church

I appreciate all my brothers and sisters in Christ that love me enough to tell me the truth! Agape’ love is the pinnacle of the types of loves. We cannot Agape’ others until we receive Agape’ love, and return Agape’ love back to God. That is what Jesus showed when He loved what His Father loved and hated what His Father hated. He came only to do the Father’s will. The world’s perversity of love has entered the church and because we have mutated the Jesus of the scripture, He no longer is offensive to the sin nature. The 21st century, American church walks in the ‘eros’ love of the flesh. Therefore, it seems like very few true salvations are occurring today. Mostly we ask people to add Jesus into their repertoire of life.  A mental note is made and they continue in life the same direction they were going.
We see a collage of spiritism within the Church that includes New Age and paganism. And holiness and righteousness are nowhere to be found. Jesus becomes a condiment to our lives rather than our LIFE! The Church has forgotten that mankind is evil and only through the submission to Jesus and dying to ourselves daily do we receive eternal life. Everyone is so saturated with their own sinfulness that the churches no longer preach sin, repentance and the Good News that follows these steps. No one wants to deal with their own sin or ungodliness, so we ‘should’ accept’ everyone else’s.
 
Problem with that is where then do we set the line???   If sexual perversity lifestyles have to be excepted than why not pedophilia or rapists or abusers? Maybe it’s only a matter of time! We see it with the growing acceptance of drugs.
 
No wonder Jesus said He would have to return before none would be found worthy. The spiritual and emotional shallowness of the culture, especially within the churches has mutated the Gospel into a self-help, secular-humanistic, fluid self-defining opinion instead of The Truth that sets the captives free. Therefore the ‘enlightened’ gospel being propagated is sterile and barren in its eternal impact. Maybe because you can only give what you have received. The Gospel destroys sin, it brings hope, it releases the shackles of the bondages and so much more.
People in our culture and the world are lost in their confusion and sin-saturation because the devil has already shamed them, and they are seeking any type of remedy or ‘fix’ that will make the pain go away. Ultimately, He steals, kills and destroys them as we see in our culture of debauchery. And the church doesn’t love them enough to tell them the Truth. Shame on us and our shallow faith. 
 
The Agape’ love that we receive should passionately drive us to share it with others in the same way we worship God with it: in Spirit and in Truth!
 
Rise up church and be the antidote to the infusion of wickedness and destruction that is escalating around us! This is why the prophets of old were so powerful. They stood upon the Truth, and God then could powerfully work through them. Right now the churches have embraced sin, and thus have a form of godliness but deny (its power) the Gospel’s power of transformation. 
People are being destroyed for their lack of knowledge and vision of God’s Agape’ love. People in the Church are being destroyed by the enemy’s tactics of depression, shame, guilt, confusion, etc. Therefore, they have little to offer those on the outside. We must freely receive before we can freely give! We all go through rough times, but so many in the church have come to believe this powerless Gospel message that they seek out man’s wisdom rooted in books and educational methods. We use powerless ministries and business models of growing the church, but it remains shallow in its spiritual maturity and depth. We need to quit caving into the peer pressure of the world, and start bowing to the name of Jesus Christ and His methods of the Kingdom. We cannot both bow to the fear of man and also bow in our fear to God. We cannot have two masters. What we fear, is what we worship!
Be strong and courageous for our Lord, our God is with us!
It’s time for us to enter into the Promise Land of our future and defeat the giants trying to dispose of His plans for us to go into all of the world making disciples!
Rise up and change the culture before the culture changes us!

What Days are We Living In?

Noah’s time – Genesis 6:5,11,12
And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
 
Lot’s time – Jude 1:7
Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication (sex outside of marriage), and going after strange flesh (sexual perversities rooted in confusion and identity issues), are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
 
Now:
 
Matthew 24:37-39 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
 
Luke 17:28-30 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built; But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
 
God warned us what was coming. He also warned us about the symptoms of weird weather and earthly catastrophes that are being propagated to be caused by ‘climate change’. Don’t be fooled, these signs are evidence that Jesus’s return may be closer than you think or are prepared for.
 
God warned those who were His and that were listening in Noah’s and Lot’s days. Those distracted and seeking the worldly ways were destroyed. God has provided a new ark to enter into. Not one made of wood or by man’s hands. But, the One, Jesus, who died for our sins and was raised again from the dead as a sign of His power over our deaths too.
 
Some recent research and polls estimate that while 60-80 percent of our culture identifies as Christian, probably only 2-10% really follow the real Jesus Christ as revealed in scripture. If this is true, the majority of ‘Christians?’ are going to be disappointed with their eternal destination!
 
Who do you follow? Do you seek first the real Jesus, and His Kingdom and His righteousness? If you died today, do you have a real and relational faith totally immersed in Jesus Christ that will lead you to everlasting life with Him? Or are you the people described in Noah’s and Lot’s days that are living and promoting sin and sinful lifestyles? God already knows these answers as applied to each of us. But, do you?
Most want a God created in their own image. One who they control and shape. One that they can come and go as they please. Then they want a church that is suited for their needs – “One Stop Shopping.” One that sings the songs they want. Starts and finishes according to their schedule. One that is about entertainment and activities that will feed the flesh. One that is made up of people they can accept. One that isolates and separates the ages, genders, marital statuses and even economic levels. One that offers a place to go once a week, or once a month, or a couple times a year if nothing better shows up. One where kids should be seen and not heard. In other words a dead church, a worldly church and a church set to entertain men and NOT God’s presence.
A true church stands on His truth. It seeks together His kingdom and righteousness. It gives opportunity for growth on a daily basis as the ‘family’ grows together through discipleship. It’s members share life together and the spiritual gifts are evident through the fruit of the spirit. A true church family encourages each other, challenges one another and even disciplines. A true church can’t wait to get together in God’s presence and watch His signs, wonders, miracles, healings and deliverances occur through the power of the gospel of grace. His Truth, so that people can experience conviction in order to turn away from their sin. Really this is the true Gospel that ‘offends’ your flesh and worldliness. ‘Offence’ demands a response to either knee or flee to Jesus Christ. So, are you part of the true church or an apostate (false) church?
 
Repent, turn from your evil desires and seek Jesus with everything you are and have. If you need help or guidance, Freedom Community church (really its people) is here to help walk with you and your family into eternity.
Blessings!

Obedience

1Jn 3:22  “And whatever we ask, we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight.” 
 
A major reason prayers aren’t answered is that we have lost our First Love – Jesus! Living in Christ means to love what He loves and hate what He hates. To only do what His Father is doing. The modern, apostate church has ‘preached’ that obedience is legalism. Hogwash! (Kosher?) An assault of deception and witchcraft has entered the Church through paganism and New Age involvement.
 
The Church once looked to the Creator God of the Bible for all its answers. Now, it has become a harlot with the world, trying to seek answers within the wisdom of ‘paganistic practices’. No wonder scripture says in the last days men will despise Truth, and love evil. They will turn from sound doctrine and follow doctrines of demons. Rather than fanning the flames of passion to God, they are seeking the lusts of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life.
 
The churches have left sound doctrine and are being tossed back and forth by every ‘new doctrine’ that comes along whether from within or from the world. The churches have exchanged the power found within the Gospel that transforms people’s lives from darkness into light, from death into life, and from trash into treasures. They have settled for religious experiences of comfortability, entertainment and a professional orchestration of a created ‘atmosphere’.
 
There is a spiritual war consuming the Church and its people. It’s not a flesh and bone war. It only is fought through spiritual tactics and weapons. At its core is the need of the saints to pray without ceasing with a faith can move mountains. The Mountains of cancer, drugs, alcohol, divorce, abortion, sexual perversity, gender dysphoria, identity confusion, depression, hate, rape, incest, witchcraft, schizophrenia, abuse, PTSD, etc. can be destroyed easily and completely through the power of the Gospel!!!
 
The sad part: Very few are equipped for such a battle. Repentance, obedience and humility are the keys to release God’s power through the inflamed Church! Not only does the 21st century churches create immature believers, they freeze them in the infant state of belief and action. People are ready to see and experience the Gospel in its fullness! But, the churches haven’t experienced it themselves first. And, you can’t share what you don’t have.
 
Wake Up churches!
Come Alive to the power of the Gospel!
 
Jesus is coming back sooner than you may think. Or you may just go see Him sooner than you think. Are you ready? is your family ready? Are your friends ready? Enemies?
 
t’s time to return to repentance, humility and obedience! Then, our prayers will become effective and powerful. No weapon formed against us will prosper over us. We will see the miracles, signs and wonders that He wants to demonstrate to the world around us through US! We are His vessels to fill and use. Not even the gates of hades themselves can stand up to the obedient Church. Our prayers will be answered!

Know of Him, or KNOW HIM?!

“The devil don’t care how much theology and facts you know,
until you introduce him to the ONE that you know – Jesus Christ.”
 
The name at which every knee will bow and tongue will confess is Lord!
So drugs and alcohol rule the hearts of so many!
Confusion and self-destruction are rampantly escalating suicidal tendencies!
Fatherless homes and motherless children are sealing the fate of future generations!
Anger and bitterness are driving the emotions and actions of the hurting!
Demonic spirits are stealing, killing and destroying the destinies of the tormented!
Witchcraft and the New Age are cesspools of deceit and devastation!
Violence is being lived out within our schools, churches, playgrounds and homes!
Even the earth is struggling with the weight of sinfulness as described in scripture!
Earthquakes, pestilence, wars, rumors of wars, volcanic activity, weird weather patterns, acceptance of perverse behaviors and lifestyles and so much more!
Did you ever think that the spirit chaos of man’s evil desires in driving the physical realm around us? You might want to ponder that as a choice!
Yet, the more our culture dives into these schemes of the enemy and confusion about the chaos that is saturating our surroundings, the more darkness it causes, and the faster people run to it! People want a fix and look everywhere to find it, except to the Truth that would set them free from it! Most really don’t want an answer that will change their life. What they want is a ‘fix’ to make the pain to go away, and be able to continue to lust after the sinfulness of this world! People just want to identity with their pain, blame others for it, make it who they are, live for it, rally around it, develop a posse of others who are as broken as they are, make it the cause, want peace but seek chaos – ALL rather than finding the ANSWER JESUS Christ who will remove it, heal them, restore them, empower them and give them His identity one of love, power and a sound mind.
So where does the Truth lie?
 
This is the problem I see in the churches that falls upon the churches, especially the leadership and pastors. They know God but are limited in their intimacy with Him. We see it the military, nothing forms a deeper connection then when people fight alongside one another and learn to trust. Our churches and leadership are ill equipped to carry out the spiritual “violence” that the Gospel releases in the spiritual realm. The leadership has not equipped the churches with power of the Gospel that pulls down every stronghold and carries out Christ’s defeat of the enemy. Our leaders and pastors lack personal experience of the knowledge and vision of the Lord. Therefore they are perishing and being destroyed. 
I truly believe God is raising a new standard of equippers that have the experience to equip church leaders and their people for victory. They have the battle experience with the Lord fighting at their side. They know Him and his ways. They are the spiritual David’s that will return the true lifestyle worship back into the hearts of the Church. The will equip church leaders with the fruit and gifts of the Spirit to be effective in the Gospel, and prosperous in the gaining of spiritual ground. They won’t just talk about their Commander, they will intimately know Him. They will have the signs and wonders entailed in their testimony to overcome the enemy alone with the blood of Jesus Christ saturating their life.
For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.                                 1 Corinthians 4:20
 
You want to evangelize or save souls than you must learn how to battle for them against the gates of Hades and the gates won’t prevail. We must prepare His warriors to wield the weapons He has given us. Get people enlisted. Get them in spiritual Boot Camp” where they learn obedience and relationship. Get them intimate with our “Commander-in-Chief” and His battle plan. Shed light upon the tactics of the enemy. Equip them with the usage of the weapons we’ve been given. Then get them into the battle one step at a time. 
 
It’s time to restore the fullness of God’s ordained calling back into the heart of the churches by restoring the fullness of God’s military agenda and positions of equipping back into the church also: The apostolic, prophetic, evangelistic, pastor and teaching ministries to the Church. Until then we will have fear and defeat running our churches. Pastors and teachers will coward within the confines of the walls of the church waving the ‘white flag” of surrender. Our churches will systematically whither from within, and finally collapse from a lack of ‘pressure’ (forcefulness and power) of the Gospel thus causing it to cave to the pressures of the world. The Gospel brings conviction, repentance and offense to the fleshiness of mankind. The powerless gospel settles for contentment, rebellion and oppression within the church and its people.
The churches have made believing become more of a resort vacation or buddhist retreat center that focus on a carnality “love” that “centers” around us, than a Kingdom ruling Love! The churches love the world and its desires more than God’s Kingdom and righteousness. Jesus was the ultimate warrior. He was 100% obedient to His Father’s will and tactics, as an example of our calling. The world will know true believers by our love for Him. As Jesus loved His Father and thus His supernatural works were performed as a Love offering unto people from the Father. So shall the same Spirit reveal the Father’s love not necessary through the abilities of man, but through the supernatural, Kingdom principles that only He can do!
 
God builds faith, the churches seem to redirect people’s faith back to education and man’s ways. It’s time for the churches to  restore the supernatural and Supranatural God back into the focus of our love and commitment! until then evil will continue to manipulate our people and make the impact of our ministries “sterilized” in the ability for us to reproduce Christ in our lives and in others. We follow business models that use data, psychology and collegiate education to grow modern day churches only to find a shallow and self-centered gospel that forms a new Jesus made in man’s image, and denies the real Jesus.
 
It is almost like we like people dependent upon ‘us’ so we keep giving them the milk of the word mixed with some educational philosophy rooted in languages and call it the ‘meat’. But in reality the ‘meat’ of the word is the hard to do stuff. The ‘crucify your flesh and its desires, pick up your cross and follow Jesus.” We aren’t much better than the Pharisees who could memorize whole books of scripture, follow the letter of word because they lived that language but missed the whole spirit of the Word and law. Jesus promised that the fresh covenant would allow the Word/law to be written upon our hearts. Wow, look how far we HAVEN’T come!
 
Walking in the Spirit takes time, commitment, relationship, denial of the flesh, obedience to Truth, honesty, submission, 24/7 dedication, study, fruit/gifts of the Spirit, rooting into a local body of believers, and much more. Keep your spiritual ‘radio station’ set to God’s frequency 24/7. Seek Him with all that you are, and you WILL find Him! Fight the good fight, and finish well!
 
Don’t be an unneeded casualty of this spiritual war. God has equipped the Apostolic and Prophetic callings to equip the Church through His Holy Ghost for spiritual warfare. Don’t walk in fear. Walk in Holiness and Righteousness! Walk in power and authority! Learn to walk in the footsteps of Jesus Christ’s ministry that He (the Head of the Body) has ordained the rest of the Body to carry out as His extension to the world. Than we will truly know what He meant when He said,
 
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.”   John 14:12
 
Are you one of these ‘believers’ He is speaking about? Where is your faith? What signs and symptoms of being a true follower of Jesus Christ has followed you? Do they reflect upon you or your God?
He was talking about supernatural works through the same Spirit that came upon Him. 
Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you going to stone me?”                                                                                   John 10:32
These were NOT man’s ‘good works’ that He did in the fleshly ability! Then add to it these scriptures:
If I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me. But if I do, though you do not believe Me, believe the works so that you may know and believe that the Father is in Me, and I in Him.                                                                                                                  John 10:37-38
Then,
At that day you shall know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. 
                                                                                                                                               John 14:20
Isn’t time we don’t just tell people about Jesus but reveal Him through His love and supernatural Kingdom realities that ruins nice religion and paganistic rituals. Jesus’s ways of bypassing the mind and reach into the heart of mankind and change him from the inside out through the Spirit.
Don’t you know there is so much more to our walk with God than to just have “fire insurance?” If you don’t know this than you really don’t know your God, nor His Kingdom, nor His precepts like you should. His word says that:
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.                                                          Hosea 4:6
and
Where there is no vision, the people perish; but he who keeps the law, he is blessed. 
                                                                                                                                        Proverbs 29:18
Knowledge of the Word and Vision of His revelation are key to Kingdom prosperity, Church strength and evangelistic potential. But destruction and perish will happily fill any void left when spiritual and supernatural knowledge and vision are rejected. There is NO such thing in this world as a spiritual void! Either God’s presence is there, or an evil presence. We are to be filled with the Spirit leaving no room for the enemy to steal kill and destroy. But, what does that men?  The same Spirit that was on Jesus and the early Church that demons to cry out, to leave, sicknesses to be healed, dead to be raised, hearing and sight to be restored, … should be living inside of us with the same power. Enlist and be equipped for spiritual warfare. Our fight is NOT against flesh and blood.
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the world’s rulers, of the darkness of this age, against spiritual wickedness in high places.                                                                                                                 Ephesians 6:12
The devil loves it when the churches become content in their own abilities and fleshly desires. He gloats in his abilities to distract and cause fear to rule within the walls of people’s hearts. He mocks the churches that walk in the flesh and not in the Spirit.
“The devil don’t care how much theology and facts you know,
until you introduce him to the ONE that you know – Jesus Christ.”
He is the UNDEFEATED ‘HEAVYWEIGHT’ CHAMPION of the UNIVERSE and beyond!
We hope to see you at church this weekend where we will discuss the ultimate power victory in history that was won so that we can be free, and help others to become free also! See you there!

Deliverance Ministry and Spiritual Warfare are Necessary, Basic Symptoms in a Church that is Alive!

Joh 8:31-32  Then Jesus said to the Jews who believed on Him, If you continue in My Word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. 
 
So many Christians are in bondage to the things of this world, even creation itself. Revival breaks out when humility and submission to God’s word begins. Most of the churches flee from the discussion and application of God’s word when it comes to freedom in Christ. They are deceived by doctrines of demons about the scriptural precedent that was set forth by Christ, delegated to the disciples and was to be the inheritance of the Church in generations to come. Deliverance ministry is a catalyst to revival breaking out. Doubt and unbelief have replaced the power and authority of scripture. Jesus’s example has been replaced by man’s principles and methods. We have replaced God’s presence with professionalism and entertaining atmospheres. 
 
The Church has been called forth to preach freedom to the captives through the gospel, the Good News. In fact, Jesus set forth the 12 to go out and exercise His authority over sickness, disease and demonic beings. Later He ordained the 70 to do so. Then, He sent His Holy Spirit to ordain ALL believers to trample upon scorpions and serpents. He demonstrated this in the Gospels and the early Church in Acts. He equipped them with weapons to storm the gates of Hades and it would NOT prevail.
 
Freedom is related to Truth. The more Truth we have, the more freedom we have. The Truth will empower us to live above the Law and the consequences of breaking it because we will minimize sin in our lives by loving the Truth! Yet, the Church is full of people who love the world and minimize the Truth. Therefore they are demonized. About 1/3 of Jesus’s time He cast out demons. In the Great Commission referred to in Mark 16:17, He says that a symptom of being a follower was that demons would be cast out. How many of our churches especially in America work in that ministry? Therefore are we really following, abiding in and loving the Truth?
 
Over 20 years ago, I started to watch the power of the Gospel and the Supernatural God behind it begin to release His kingdom in my life and those around me. My life was transformed from a nice religion, to a “Kingdom come, your will be done” type of faith! We are just His vessels, His messengers into this world. His Kingdom doesn’t come only in word but in power! This is why I travel thousands of miles each year revealing His Kingdom through His power in my life and ministry He has given me. It makes religious people uncomfortable, the legalistic gnawing in themselves and the lawless feeling condemned. But, all of these are symptoms of the torment and oppression of the devil and his cohorts.
 
Matthew 12:25-29 describes spiritual warfare and deliverance ministry. Jesus is demonstrating what His methods were to destroy evil and demonic strongholds. But, in verse 30 he interestingly states that if your not with Him, you’re against Him. If you’re not fulfilling this calling, are you really working for Him? Interesting challenge! He then adds that blasphemy against the Holy Spirit (in His working) will not be forgiven in verse 31. These verses are connected and therefore together in meaning. Maybe a warning to our generation’s church culture as much as it was to theirs back then!
Nice theology doesn’t effectively work any more. Neither does quaint sermons and emotional songs. Pamphlets and tracts are almost useless to this pagan and dark, witchcraft culture we live in. It’s time to preach, teach and release the power of our supernatural (and Supranatural) God spring forth off the pages of His Word, and flow through the heart into the world around us. It’s time to equip the Church, the people, to carry out the Great commission the same way Jesus did: In the power of the Holy Spirit. Basically, letting God be God as He releases HIs Kingdom through us, his vessels.
 
Deliverance (exorcism) , healing, miracles, signs and wonders are just some of the symptoms that follow those who truly believe. It’s time to place the Supernatural God back into the scripture we read. It’s time that we become bold, and let the King of kings, and Lord of lords out of the boxes we’ve placed Him in! He has equipped people to equip churches and people to once again walk in His precepts that will tear down the gates that are incarcerating people including many Christians.
 
I have personally watched thousands of people:
1.  delivered from demonic possession, oppression and torment,
2.  healed from physical, emotional and spiritual sickness and disease,
3.  miraculously changed through signs and wonders within their finances, marriages,          families, jobs, habits, addictions, etc.
4.  recognize, be anointed and ordained in spiritual gifts of prophecy, discernment,
     helps, evangelism, dreams, visions, etc.
 
God has released me to teach and train others to do so, especially for these last days we are living in. Luke 11:20 says that if demons are cast out then truly the Kingdom has come upon you. it’s a major sign of His Kingdom’s presence in our lives. It is a ‘perk’ of our Kingdom benefit package to show the world by which name and authority, King, we come in!
 
Yet, we equip pastors and teachers to know Hebrew, Greek, and a host of other educational tools, but starve them in the matters that really reach and empower people to grasp ahold of the Gospel, and be set free. Our pastors and teachers may also be in bondage and shackles of their past! A lot of good teachings about Jesus. But how many allow Jesus to reveal Himself and His Kingdom?
 
It’s time for us to prepare our churches to be the army of God that is offensive to the realm of darkness with its penetrating Light of Jesus Christ. God never intended for His army to be in retreat. Our weapons are good for the pulling down of (every) stronghold. Weapons to set the captives free. Weapons to bring life and life more abundant through the ministry of Jesus Christ. His army should walk in His might and power! But, do we?
 
A great example of deliverance in the Old testament Moses and Aaron. They brought the power of God’s Kingdom into the demonic realm and territory to destroy the works of all the thousands of demonic gods of Egypt. And this was in the Old Testament. How much more should we walk in being inhabited by the same Holy Spirit that empowered Jesus to do His signs, wonders, miracles, deliverance, healings and everything else!
 
Isn’t it time for the Church to take off it graveclothes of bondage and be set free? Isn’t it time for the Church to rise up as more than conquerors? Isn’t it time for the Church to demonstrate that greater is He who lives in her than he who lives in this world? Isn’t it time for the Church to mature in its calling and spiritual gifts? Isn’t it time that the Church becomes the counter-culture Jesus called her to be, and change the world, more than the world changes her? Isn’t it time?
 
It’s time for the Church, I mean, for you and me to COME ALIVE! Dead bones COME ALIVE! Dead religion, COME ALIVE! COME ALIVE!
 
As you notice, I am not into religion very much. I only want people to taste the Presence of God in their lives. His presence will ruin you for the world’s nice, quaint religious practice. The power of the Gospel will engulf you. It will transform you from walking in the flesh, to walking in the Spirit!
 
Maybe you need to come to a COME ALIVE! conference? Maybe you need deliverance or healing? Maybe your church needs to COME ALIVE!?
 
COME ALIVE!  is a conference where you begin to yearn and seek after God, His Kingdom and His righteousness. A beginning to seek and see His presence in you and your church’s life on a ’24/7/365′ basis. A beginning to walk out your salvation with fear and trembling. A beginning for you to be set free from your past, depression, fears, doubt, shame, guilt, condemnation, addictions, suicidal thoughts, sexual perversity, confusion, identity dysphoria, anger, unforgiveness, hate, etc.
 
COME ALIVE! equips you and your church for effective and transformational ministries of evangelism, deliverance, healing, spiritual warfare, miracles, signs, wonders and Kingdom anointing to transform people’s lives as you Jesus to them and within them. COME ALIVE! helps you and your church come out of its ‘coma’, into a new life of purpose, power and the maturity to ‘reproduce’ Jesus Christ in the dead and unsaved people around us.
 
Maybe it’s time to host a COME ALIVE! event in your area. Pray about it. Let God begin to stir the spiritual atmosphere and hearts around you in your church. Then, contact me for more information. Begin walking in His anointing, calling and presence today. Be blest!!!
“TODAY IS THE DAY OF SALVATION – EXPERIENCE YOUR”S TODAY!”

Don’t Be Left, Get Right With God!

Ponder this:
Some day you may just wake up to find that 10-30 million Americans vanished into thin air, or
 
The driver of your taxi or plane just disappeared, or
 
Some of the medical team doing your operation poof disappear, or
 
A bunch of your office team didn’t show up for work, or …
 
Could it be:
an alien abduction?
the universe balancing its karma?
time travel?
coincidence?
 
Or could it be that Jesus just came back for his Church which is his bride made up of all the followers of Christ.
 
What follows is probably chaos, confusion and economic collapse. Where will you be?
 
Maybe you are one of the ones who know about God the Father, the Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit?
 
Maybe you excused your true love of the world and used excuses of why you didn’t go to church (His Church), or Bible Study, or prayer, or why you didn’t tithe, or whatever?
 
Maybe you didn’t have time for God or His bride the Church (really God’s people/family)?
 
What makes us think that if we can’t make time for Him now, why would He ever allow us into heaven and eternity with Him and His Church?
 
Our excuses are an attempt to make more room for what we really love and worship: ourselves, our hobbies, our money, our time, our world!
 
We may fool others, or even ourselves, but we aren’t fooling God! He knows His family. It says that His followers hear His voice and obey it. This means non-followers do not hear His voice nor obey it. Pride sets in, and the destruction follows!
 
Learn to be in God’s presence. Learn to spend time with Him. Learn to enjoy His family the Church (the churches). Learn to deny yourself and walk in the spirit. Learn to recognize and develop your Spiritual Gifts, and to embrace the Spiritual Gifts God freely gave to others to be a blessing. LEARN THAT THERE IS SOOOOOO MUCH MORE!
 
If YOU don’t want to be LEFT behind,
YOU must get RIGHT with God!
 
NO man knows the day nor the hour of Jesus’s return. But the signs of the season of his return is evident. We invite YOU and YOUR FAMILY to church tomorrow morning at FREEDOM Community Church to experience His Truth and implement it into your life. See you there! Be blest!!
