What should the Church be?

What should the Church be?
 
It should be a hospital where the hurting, hopeless and sin-infected patients of the world go to receive top-notch care, through truth-ful methods and love saturated action.
 
It should be a place where the ‘blood and guts’ of a person’s heart and life are laid bare as the Great Physician and His Spirit-filled staff with training inject His salvation, healing, deliverance and empowerment to the spiritually dead. A place where His staff can get their hands dirty and bring about transformation.
 
It is a place where honesty and His eternal methods of destroying sin are practiced. It is a place where the prognosis is death, unless you follow the prescriptive methods and procedures of the Great Physician.
 
It is where the dead come alive. It is where a person finds the “Antidote” (Jesus) for their cancerous diagnosis called sin. It is where the Great Physician has equipped and released His spiritual gifts into people to release His Kingdom of everlasting healing into people. It is a place where the patients become the providers and caretakers for the incoming.
 
The Church should be a covenanting ‘family’ where they meet as much as they can to study, sharpen and do ministry together as they share life together. A place where people meet in one building or take it out to the world. A place where 24/7 worship occurs and is constantly going out and bringing in. A place where we know each other, and each other’s talents and spiritual gifts. These gifts are the tools the Great Physician has ordained to be used in His prescriptive and ordered redemptive plan for humanity.
 
But what has the Church really become?
 
It has become a place where man’s ways and desires negate the Great Physicians. A place where the patients want to direct the treatment. A place where truth of their diagnosis is irrelevant and is a ‘downer’. The patients want to be told how great they are and that their health’ is fine even though in their spiritual death they carry the pain of the ‘sin-illness’.
 
The Church is where we entertain dead people and hope they will give money. A place of where people can go and get a temporary ‘fix’, to feel better about themselves in their dead and decaying state of sinfulness. The church even ‘perfumes’ the corpse of their lives with professional music and pep talks that are saturated in psychology and secular humanism. They Church has bowed to the flesh of humanity and now feeds it rather than the spirit. In fact, Universalism now dominates the pulpits by assuming everyone gets to heaven because there is someone worse than me. Truth is relative and so is God. He  can be mutated into whatever you want Him to be. Instead of being the “I AM”, we have turned Him into the “He is” everything I want Him to be and He must bow to my opinion as truth.  
 
The Church has become a place to go, and not a place to Be. A place that has kept Christ s a man rather than glorifying Him and God, Lord and savior. A place where we honor mankind more than God. A place where information and education preempt the strategy of transformation He has set forth. A place where we can experience the Truth, become alive, get healed, delivered and set free from the devil’s infection and hell’s destination.  
 
The Church has become self-directing, self-satisfying and selfish. It refuses to truthfully diagnose people n their dead state. Nor does it talk about sin and its consequences. Nor does it embrace the Truth that we are called to seek first His kingdom and righteousness. Nor does it follow the prescriptive plan of the Lead Physician who has a perfect plan of saving people. He even has a 100% successful method of giving life through CPR: ‘Christ Powered Resurrection’ life.
 
The Church has become about customs, rituals and self-preservation. What can we do to get more people, which means more money, which means bigger facilities, which means more people which means … Cyclical. The Church has replaced His miraculous Presence with professional atmospheres. A place where we need artificial lights and cloud machines because His Light is not present. A place where we rely upon amplified sound because His amplified voice of conviction, repentance, restoration and exultation has been muffed. A place where the Church has bowed to society and its sinful illnesses, rather than to God and His truth and righteousness. A place where we sing worship songs that are clogged by non-worshipping hearts and lifestyles throughout the rest of the week.
 
Rather than the Church being a hospital for the dying and releasing life to the dead, the Church has become the tomb of religion. A place where people can go and be coddled in their sin and shallowness. A place of fleshliness rather than holiness. A place of indignation rather than a place of subligation to the Lord. A place of continuation of your current life rather than restoration and transformation into a new life in Christ. A place where sin has been removed because it causes conviction which later mutates into feeling condemned when the conviction is not acted upon. Christ has called us to be a new creation shedding off our old habits, desires and fleshliness. We were commanded to put on Christ’s nature which is led by the Holy Spirit. 
 
Find a church where the Truth is preached and the message is uncomfortable and convicting for your flesh. Then BE the Church. Find one that knows their God and His ways, and is convicted to seek Him and His ways. Find one that is multi-generational and provides Biblical discipleship on a daily basis. Find one that walks in conviction and lives in the miraculous power of the Holy Spirit. Find one that through the Truth releases the Fruit of the Spirit in the ministering of the Gifts of the Holy Spirit. Life and time is too short to be playing church or being religious. Christ is returning for a Church that seeks Him with all of their substance and is in submission to His will. A people who’s schedule revolves around Him, and not who will fit Him in if nothing better comes along.
 
Each of us has a choice every day on whom to serve:
1. Ourselves, and our flesh
2. God, and His kingdom and righteousness
 
Whom do you serve? God already knows! Your schedule and checkbook may tell you too. Seek Him and others walking in His ways.
 
Have a blest day in His Presence! And we hope to see you at Church!

Deceived or Discerning?

Are we deceived or discerning of the times and seasons?
Did we think that so many people who go to church and call themselves Christians really haven’t realized who their God is, or maybe even haven’t eft their “Egypt” of their former, enslaved life? Or better yet, maybe they have dragged along the ‘paganistic’ values and/or their participation in the New Age idolatry of the culture they currently live in?
 
They want to enter directly into the Promise Land which is ‘flowing with milk and honey’ without first going to God’s mountain to stand in His presence in awe and in the fear of the Lord. We forget the promise Land also is saturated with ‘Giants’ that need to be destroyed. Yet, like most of Israel, the Church hasn’t had the God time of knowing who He is, and our position under and in Him. Therefore, we see a vast majority of the Church/churches wandering in the desert of life, complaining and whining. Or better yet, they turn back to their previous ‘Egyption’ lifestyles, wanting to have their feet on both sides of the fence.
 
I believe God is dividing those who want Him from those who want ‘Egypt’, the worldly pleasures and pagan practices. Those who want Him and are not divided, will enter into the Promise Land of faith by which the ‘giants’ in their lives will be slain. The ‘giants’ in the Promise land represented cultures that were evil, pagans and occult driven. God forbid His people from practicing such rituals and meditations. Such practices lead to destruction and eternal separation from His righteousness and presence. I also believe the Church as a whole is being separated into the sheep and the goats – the True Followers versus the blasphemous church which embraces evil and occult practices. BUT, a remnant Church will rise out of the division. It will worship God in Spirit and in truth!
 
Do you have some giants that need to be slain in your life? Don’t turn to pagan or New Age practices that are being plagued upon our society and world! Come out of the world and be set apart! There are costs to the compromise of the truth. Our children will continue to walk in deception and darkness. Hate and division will continue to grow. Demonic torment, depression and emptiness will escalate. Hopeless will  lead to paranoia and despair. Our culture will be encased in escalating violence as mankind continues to call good evil, and evil be called good. Suicide, addictions, self-harm, disrespect, arrogance, pride, etc., will super-saturate the atmosphere of the world to the point that it will precipitate the coming of Jesus. We will see and encounter the worship of the earth and nature. We will see the propagation of the essence of the oneness of ourselves with the universe. The more humans look within themselves for the answers and truth, the worse it will get. Schools, colleges, governments and all institutions that promote and implement these anti-God practices and rituals will become ineffective and ultimately  destroyed. Depravity of man will reach a pinnacle at which Jesus will return for His bride, the Church that has remained separate and holy. A Church that the world knows by its Love of God, His truth and is calling forth true repentance and a submissive relationship with God (Father, Son and Holy Spirit)!
 
Don’t be fooled by the doctrines of demons flooding into our churches! Seek out the Truth, Jesus, that will set you free! Seek, Believe, encounter and live this Truth!  We must remember this is a spiritual war tat Jesus promises victory over for those who remain faithful! I hope you are one of these faithful!
 
Be blest in His presence today!

Growing in Truth or in Deception?

The Bible talks in Matt 24:12:
“And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold.”
 
Who is leading this lawlessness?
2 Thessalonians 2:8-12 says:
And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the breath of His mouth and shall destroy with the brightness of His coming, whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceit of unrighteousness in those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, so that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie, so that all those who do not believe the truth, but delight in unrighteousness, might be condemned.
 
The word love in Matthew, is talking about Agape’ love – Godly love. This love is attained through God, to be shared with others around us.
 
People are into ‘their truth’ thus denying ‘The Truth’! This relative and personal truth is deceptive. People are being deceived and being led astray by doctrines of demons. These doctrines are pervasive in the churches. Symptoms of this perversity of faith is selfishness, distraction, complaining, controlling, anxiety, busy-ness, fear, pride, etc. They are abou their agenda and their schedules. They run from things/pain/lies, and to their ‘fixes’ that are trying to fill their void of where the Fruit of the Spirit is suppose to be flowing in their lives.W
 
Symptoms of a God-loving and God-fearing life are peace, joy love, patience, kindness, long-suffering, self-control, etc. People who love their God with all their heart, soul, mind and strength are submitted to the call of the Gospel and of the Great Commission. They realize the power of the Gospel and what salvation has saved them from – HELL! These people who are becoming harder to find. They are committed to their faith and to bring people to Jesus. These people are willing to set aside their schedules, press forward and get their hands dirty with those who are saturated in sinful lifestyles and the consequences thereof.

They run from things/pain/lies, and to their ‘fixes’ that are trying to fill their void of where the Fruit of the Spirit is suppose to be flowing in their lives.
 
Lawlessness isn’t freedom or liberty. It is the absence of Law or Righteousness. It is anarchy. It is rebellion to the Creator God and His Eternal Laws. More and more people are becoming lawless because they have lost their ‘First Love’ – Jesus. They are more into themselves, their schedule, their time, their money, their …, then they are into His will be done on earth as it is in heaven. In fact, finding faithful people willing to go the extra mile with the hurting youth, children, elderly, mourning, etc., is becoming harder to find. Everything has become personal. They have their own interpretation of scripture, what love is, what truth is, what is right, what is wrong, …
 
Faith is first personal, but then it becomes corporate in a local church body. Both aspects must be present in a person’s life. This is much like an infant that is first selfish wanting his or her needs met. Their world revolves around themselves. They need simpler things to digest like milk. They can’t handle harder things to swallow and digest. But as they grow they move on to the ‘meat’. Yet, so many ‘christians’ remain shallow and self-centered always want their wants and needs to be met. And when they are not, they cry, whine and complain until their flesh is fed. All they do is eat, cry and poop themselves, and then demand others to do something about it. Funny how spiritual growth is so similar to the physical growth of humans.
 
Where are you at? Is it about your time and schedule? Is it about your needs or God’s calling? Are you a consumer ‘christian’ looking for what you can get from church or God? Or are you a producer? Producing good works and the Fruit of the Spirit wherever you go? Are you a runner. or are you planted by the streams of living water? You aren’t fooling god or anyone who is discerning in the Spirit. God will Not be mocked! You will reap what you sow! Sow in the flesh, you will reap the consequences of the flesh: fear, anxiety, turmoil, depression, stress, confusion, inadequacy, shame, guilt, condemnation, loneliness, abandonment, victimization, etc.
 
But, if you sow in the Spirit you will reap: peace, joy, love, power, contentment, wholeness, forgiveness, victory, adoption, belonging, longsuffering, self-control, purpose, destiny, wisdom, understanding, etc. Too many are always seeking but never finding God.
 
2 Timothy 3:1-7
Know this also, that in the last days grievous times will be at hand. For men will be self-lovers, money-lovers, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, unyielding, false accusers, without self-control, savage, despisers of good, traitors, reckless, puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness, but denying the power of it; even turn away from these. For of these are those who creep into houses and lead captive silly women loaded with sins, led away with different kinds of lusts, ever learning and never able to come to the full knowledge of the truth.
 
These are the days we are living in! What ‘doctrine’ has crept into your house and life? What deception and pleasure is drawing you away from The Truth? The chasm between Truth and deception is growing, don’t be caught on the wrong side.
 
There are consequences for being deceived and being led astray for both us and our families. Some occur immediately, others delayed and others are eternal (everlasting). Don’t let you and your family become another statistic of these distractions. Let God grow your faith. Let God speak through others into your life through a covenant relationship within a church family. Let God grow your gifts to be used and shared with others. Quit trying to make a place for God and give Him your whole life. Focus your life upon His. Make Him the center! Be submitted and committed to God, His gospel, His Truth, His church, to one another and to the lost!
Lawlessness leads to deception, emptiness and a falling away from God!
Love of Truth leads to righteousness, completeness and our hearts overflowing!
Be blest!

Self-Centered or God-Centered?

Church isn’t about me or you, it’s about Him. Jesus referred to Himself as the “I AM”. Not what you want Him to be, or the one made in your image. When we seek Him with all of our substance, we will find Him, His presence and His identity. Then we can find ourselves. The American culture designs church after our needs/wants. Most Christians will go to church if nothing better presents itself. Or if the important things in life are cancelled. In fact most people choose a church based upon convenience, the ‘most bang or our buck’ or feelings rather than truth. Church must fit into our schedule and time frame. Yet, God’s word says we must deny ourselves and our desires. It is sad to watch a culture that wants to mold God around their lives when God clearly says we must ‘put on Christ’. We must immerse ourselves into His presence and ways. God’s kingdom is inclusively exclusive. No one comes to the Father and into His kingdom except through following Jesus Christ. We morph God into a god who chases after us as if he is incomplete without us.  He ‘is’! He is complete without us, yet loves us, wants us to follow Him, and have a close relationship with us. He commands His people and churches to be Holy and to live righteously. His death was for our sins, His resurrection is for us to be empowered by His grace to live a life he has called us to live. Yet, as the culture of church becomes less Biblical, the lies of the enemy become the truth. Soon any church that stands upon Biblical truth will be exchanged for a church that emphasizes human-centered truths and ‘convenience-christianity’ until convenience causes the culture to disregard church and God’s truth altogether!!! (Which we are headed toward currently!)
 
We live in a culture of tickling ears, going where the message edifies and empowers the flesh and worldly lifestyles. Hearts are growing cold to the truth and to submitting to His ways. Yet, are warming up to the world, its ways and its schedule. The schedule that drives people is one of indulgence and entertainment. One of desires that feed the lusts of the flesh, lust of the eyes and the prides of life. Stay true to a faith that drives your life to Jesus. Drives your life to design you and your families time and schedules to be centered upon God’s schedule, and not one that is convenient for you and your family. There is a cost of convenience and compromise that will steal, kill and destroy your family’s future. Many times we are blind to the symptoms and outcomes of these costs just like an alcoholic or the addict are to their habits. Don’t be another statistic, nor let your children be consumed by the things of this world by teaching them that entertainment, hobbies or habits are what drives our schedules. Our culture has parents that are blindly leading their children to hell because of the consumerism and indulgences of competition and busy-ness. Seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness and everything you will ever need will be added to your life.
 
My prayer is for the hearts and souls of the people who call themselves Christians to wake up and chase once again after their First Love – Jesus Christ. Spend their money to honor Him. Spend their time to honor Him. Set their schedules based upon Him. Live a life that honors Him. But there is a cost. The cost of not keeping up with the neighbors. The cost of not doing what every family is doing. The cost of our kids being told no and that God and His plans come first. But after the cost comes the results. Results of God fearing, God loving, God centered children that seek God with every decision. The result of children who make decisions based upon His truth and not activity, popularity and entertainment value. Results of children and families who are at peace and are filled with the presence of God and His characteristics. Results of our children and families who know who they are because they know who their God is! All of us parents are leading our children to something. We are training them to be God chasers or world chasers. Teaching them to be self-centered with our desires and schedules, or to be God-centered and seeking after His schedule for our life. Don’t be deceived, God is not mocked. Don’t say you’re a Christian and lead a life centered around business and worldly lusts for promotion, popularity, prestige, fame, fortune, identity, etc.
 
Don’t compromise the Truth! Don’t compromise your future! Don’t compromise your children’s future! Center your life and its schedule around God! Don’t fit Him in! Get to the place where you find to hard to fit the world and its pleasures into your life! Lay your schedule aside. Most of our schedules are based upon choices and desires/wants – NOT NEEDS! Learn to NEED Him more! Don’t lead a life absent of a desire to fill your time and needs with His presence and the presence of His family (the Church). Scripture says you can’t be committed to 2 masters. You will be a ‘house’ divided, and you and your family will fall apart.
Ask yourself: What drives my schedule? Is God and serving Him the main allotment of time on my schedule? Do I compromise a total devotion to Him by being driven by seeking entertainment and happiness? How do I spend my time and money? Or you may even have some other questions He brings to your mind!
 
Have a blessed week chasing after God, His Kingdom and His righteousness. See you at church or another God event this week! 

Pray! Receive! Release!

I find myself praying not so much for America as I do for the churches. Shallow leaders wrapped up in fleshly and sinful lifestyles, unrepentant and rebellious. Leaders who spend more time talking about and seeking out worldly desires and doctrines of ‘men’ rather than the Truth of God. Leaders who covenant with their pain and victimhood rather than the redemption and restorative power of the Gospel. Watching leaders celebrating their pain as a badge of honor rather than putting on the breast plate of righteousness. Leaders falling for the social gospel rather than the Kingdom Gospel. Leaders assigned to our youth and hurting that they themselves haven’t attained nor experienced the freedom that a mature and miraculous encounter with Jesus Christ can release. They talk about something they haven’t experienced. What a shame! No wonder people don’t want the 21st century version of Christianity!
 
I feel blest that I was mentored and discipled by people who experienced the power of the Gospel. They allowed it to ‘rock’ my world! They wielded the sword of the Spirit in a way that sickness subsided, demons departed and wholeness was wonderfully attained. Now, it has been my calling in life to release the ‘testimony’ of my experience to others. Allowing the Truth to set the captives free. And YES, it destroys depression, anxiety, fear, addictions, guilt, shame, condemnation, suicide and every other attribute of the ‘fall of humanity’! And yet, most don’t want to chase after it by chasing after Him. They would rather walk in offense and pride. God has made it so easy to attain. But because of our desires for evil, selfishness and wickedness, we choose darkness.
 
I pray for repentance and restoration to occur within the hearts of those in the churches. Humility and submission to God and to one another is vital and necessary to attain what God has planned for those who are truly His. Hearts are growing cold, deception is being propagated within our churches and the ‘progressive’ gospel of perversity and lustful love has replaced the Agape’ love that leads to obedience and the denial of self.
 
Today is a great to die! Die to ourselves! Die to our worldly desires! Die to our flesh!
 
Today is a great day to live! live as Christ! Live according to the Spirit! Live in the abundancy of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ!
 
These two sides of the same coin, allow us to raise up current and future leaders because they are followers of Christ. We all have problems, but the problems don’t determine the futures of those walking in the Spirit. Whether we are currently having a mountaintop experience, or are wandering in the valley of the shadow of death, our God doesn’t change nor should our walk with Him.
 
Pray with me that our churches grow and reproduce matures believers that are equipped with the Truth and power of the Gospel to be more than conquerors through Christ. Pray that our churches don’t just look for anyone to lead our ministries or our youth, but people ordained and empowered with the Gospel that gives life and not just activities. Pray that our churches set apart those called by God and allow opportunities for them to experience the Gospel and the Kingdom coming. Pray that God will ruin the cute little religious belief system and replace it with a world changing Great Commission calling and army prepared to do His bidding here on earth.
 
What say ye? Are you onboard with God’s plan no matter how much it hurts the flesh and your desires? Or are you going to jump ship, and float with world ‘down stream’? It’s time to swim against the current of culture! Why? Because Christ loves them enough to die for them, and loved them enough to place YOU here for such a time as this! Start swimming!!! Start Praying!!! Start seeking Him with all your substance and with all your heart!!! Watch how God will use you to impact eternity and empower you to lift others beyond sins grasp and control!!!
I hope to see you all soon at church, or a ministry, or a retreat, or a Bible Study, or all of them and so much more!!!
Ain’t nobody got time for religiosity! Real deal, or no deal! Real Godliness, or destructive godlessness! Real victory, or painful defeat! Real faith, or hopeless future! You choose!!!
He chose you, but you must choose Him!

INSANITY!

Insanity!
Pray for those affected by the spiritual climate of our nation. Pray against the onslaught of the spiritual attack brought forth through the embracing of a nation that is inviting in demonic spirits of division, confusion, murder, the anti-christ and more. We live in a country that continues to denies Christ and the Bible. We are living in a time that just doesn’t make sense to most. Only those who discern the times will get what’s going on.
We not only have a physical ‘border’ issue, but also a spiritual one also!
Our Constitution was designed to be not only a document but a lifestyle lived by a citizenry that would leave their former place of residence to take upon them  the idea ‘One Nation’. But, current trends want a nation that unravels because of not molding together. The Melting pot idea is formulated from what I believe is scriptural even in God’s method of marriage, two becoming one. “Diversity” in its current definition by progressives will only lead to “division”. Not all people, families, cultures, nations, etc. are equal according to God’s truth EXCEPT: All have sinned and fallen short of His requirement to enter into heaven. And Jesus is the only way into eternal life, all other roads lead to eternal separation and damnation. Even saying this in countries like India and others (maybe soon even in America), will lend you to be imprisoned or killed because you are shaming people if they don’t believe the way you do and soooo closed minded by those who have been ‘enlightened’. 
We are very close to feeling the same effects of a country/citizenry that is progressive and progressively sinful in its desires. Yet, many would say they are ‘Christians’ without ever submitting to the Gospel and God’s truths. Pray as we continue to spiral into chaos and insanity. People are getting desperate to grab ahold of any doctrine/agenda to try to ease their guilty and empty lives. You can never talk enough about your issues to make them leave. You can never make something accepted enough by society that God despises to make you feel complete. You can never drench yourself in enough counseling, medications, alcohol, drugs, cutting, tats, relationships, work, etc. to make you feel whole and loved. Only Jesus Christ can do that! Our issues in America are not money, nor skin color, nor if your male or female, nor where you live, nor anything else outside of our sin issues! We have iniquities! We choose death and evil! Today is a good day to turn from our evil ways and choose Christ! 
 
And if you don’t agree with me that’s okay. Time will tell if I’m right or wrong. If the world continues to get worse it’s only because God is trying to get our attention more for us to turn to Him.

Collusion is Really Confusion and Delusion!

Collusion: “secret agreement or cooperation especially for an illegal or deceitful purpose” 
 
Using this definition, the Democratic party’s allowance and encouragement for illegal immigration (not legal means) must be considered collusion and thus be prosecutable. The arrogance of people who live in glass houses and throw stones is atrocious. Anyone who concluded with Russia must be prosecuted. Anyone who willingly allows illegal foreign influence to undermine the citizenry of our nation must be prosecuted. Illegal when looked up means illegal. All officials that are promoting sanctuary cities for ‘illegal’ aliens or are hiding (secret) them must also be prosecuted. Trump is not the end game of collusion, but the beginning. So much time is being spent looking for the needle of guilt in haystack.
Yet, collusion and enemies of the nation who do not defend the law of the land stand in arrogance doing the same outcome just with a different deviant style. Congressional deviants as well as state and local deviants that are colluding these acts encouraging illegal activities must be investigated and prosecuted as many of them have already admitted to their illegal methods that are and will allowing non-American tampering with the current and future electorate. If Trump admits to the collusion as these other politicians have admitted in their arrogance, than they all need to be prosecuted as enemies of the state whether if it was with Russian advocates or Central America’s advocates. We cannot be xenophobic in choosing one foreign people group over another to promote their agenda. Wrong is wrong! Let’s use the term of collusion in its complete sense and not just a tunneled vision.
Blessings!

Harlotry Romance: The 21st Century Harlot Church

We have fallen out of love with our Lord and savior. We have lost our first love. Our churches are more like a ‘Harlotry’ Romance novel. We are more in lust with the world and ourselves than with God. Lust feeds the flesh and sinful soul. We find our identity within the world rather than within our Creator. But, the Church must understand this first. Within the churches, hearts are being deceived and growing cold. Hearts are being led astray by their own desires. Good is called evil, evil is being called good, AND is being embraced and practiced within the churches. Holiness and righteousness are considered legalism. Lawlessness is being practiced as people are following the ‘Lawless’ one. His ultimate attack and goal isn’t removing God from our lives, but to add enough other gods/demonic presences to our lives so we become harlots since we are the Church. Unbelief is escalating as people are putting their trust and time into their activities, health, hobbies, money, retirement, sex, power or whatever they are worshipping. It’s time!  
Calling the Church to wake up, rise up and carry on the destruction of evil that we are called to war against. Pray specifically against the spirits over our country, some of which are the anti-Christ, Baal, unbelief, Jezebel, Deception, Confusion, Leviathan, Python, paganistic practices and others. (I am guessing these are probably new to most of you.) These spirits are being escalated by the participation within our churches. The Church once spoke against anything that sets itself against God, but now embraces these practices as our freedom (really lawlessness from the lawless one – the devil). No wonder the gospel has become powerless and sterilized in its ability to reproduce through evangelism. The churches are harlots with the world and are propagating paganistic rituals within our churches and culture much like Israel allowed them into her borders. Where is the prophetic voice calling the churches out of their sins. Oh yeah, its been watered down to a politically correct, everyone gets a participation award, ‘pathetic’ voice. No wonder Christians have as many (or even more) fears and anxieties. Instead of turning and returning to God, they turn to other methods of finding peace and contentment through pagan rituals, drugs/alcohol, sex, etc. Jesus isn’t enough as Paul and others said. It’s Jesus plus I need to do …! Even the word anti-Christ explains this. It means against Christ of course! But, it also means instead of Christ.
 
This is not a time nor the generation that needs to coast into eternity. If you aren’t growing closer to God, than you are drifting away. If you aren’t seeking Him with all your substance, than you’re probably seeking other things that are or have become idols in your life. Remember that idols have demonic beings behind them. Oh that’s right, even the church doesn’t believe in those spiritual ‘myths’. They would rather believe and participate in their horoscopes, palm readings, eastern religious meditations, etc. Mankind is searching but not necessarily for the Truth of Jesus Christ. But, one of spiritualism where all roads lead to enlightenment, transcendence or heaven. Be not deceived, God will NOT be mocked!!!
Read the Word! Live the Word! Be the Word! Share the Word! Exchange the Word! Spread the Word! Let the Holy Ghost make the Word come alive in you! Experience the Word! Let the world experience the Word coming out of you!
Blessings!

Xenophobia Bullying and Other Lies

Just pondering the progressive usage of the word “xenophobia”. The word is suppose to usher in the era of globalization. It’s wielding has the ultimate goal of being a one World Totalitarian regime where there is no borders and everyone has an equal amount of the ‘pie’. Out one side of the mouths that emit this cesspool of ideology, they speak of equalizing the value of all cultures across all the world. At the same time, they enforce their values upon those cultures they disagree with. They escalate their opinion as the transcended voice of reason, embracing their enlightened position upon others.
 
A great example is the usage of the word in the current border war. Calling anyone who wants to protect the border as ‘xenophobes’. Even though this migration will ultimately infuse our nation and culture, and change the political, economic and spiritual climate permanently. Yet, their whining continues upon a foreign government influencing our political system. Both of these attacks are of equal observation and need a prescriptive antidote to stop them from happening. If we maintain equality in the usage of the word, all who oppose Russian influence must be Xenophobes also. Using their own words, we must allow all culture to equally enter into our country. You are a Xenophobe if you pick and choose which ones you want to come in. Xenophobes are ones who pick and choose which cultures they sympathize with and upon. It is almost another form of supremacy when they look down upon these groups as the ones they feel sorry for.
 
I believe in the sovereignty of nations and cultures. Any country/culture that are not American should not be influencing our political, social, economic or spiritual climate. Russia and the current border escalation included. I am a true believer in applying our beliefs as equal as we can in all circumstances. Hypocrites have a tendency to pick and choose their truths depending upon who they feel can be manipulated or enslaved within social, political or economic chains.  If a person is a progressive and wants the borders open, than we must equally allow all cultures and nations to influx and influence us. If they pick one culture over another, they should identify as Xenophobes.
 
Therefore, neither the current border crisis, nor the Russian collusion firing squad are about morals or compassion. It is about politics and power. It is about manipulating people under their control and ushering in the New World Order, the One World Government and ultimately the Anti-Christ. But in the mean while, expect more bullying to occur with words like ‘xenophobia’ that intend to stifle any opposition and it’s escalation of assassinating anyone’s ideas that oppose their agenda which include the eradication and unraveling of the First and Second Amendments for a start.
 
Pray Church, Pray! Live and love in Obedience! Be set apart for His glory. Seek His kingdom FIRST and His righteousness! Flee from even the appearance of evil! Put your thoughts upon things above! Run the race set before you that is focused upon Jesus! Fight the good fight of faith! Prepare for and expect persecution! Know the Truth! Know your authority in Christ! Be blest!

Growing Up!!!

When I was growing up I had successes my parents, teachers and those in authority cheered me on for. I had failures that they called me out on. I had misbehaviors that I was disciplined for. I had lazy times that I was kicked in the rear to inspire me. At times the negative consequences out numbered the positive ones by a lot. But out of it I learned to persevere. I learned that hard work generally pays off. I learned that I didn’t need to run on “everyone gets a participation award. I learned that I didn’t need a safe place every time I felt threatened or things didn’t go my way. I learned that there are much more talented people than me and I’m okay with that. I learned that all of us are victims but I can’t remain a victim and be successful. I learned that I deserve nothing and even hard work and talent doesn’t guarantee my ‘prize’. But contentment in all things in a necessity. I learned that who I am is based upon who God is because He designed me. I learned that I didn’t need 3 positive comments for every 1 negative. I learned that a person’s color is only skin deep, their character is rooted in who they are. I learned that giving is better than receiving. I learned that I am a dead man walking so what can mankind do to me?! I earned that what someone does to me can define me or inspire me. I learned that I must forgive people no matter what they do to me or others. I learned that whatever I do, I do for the glory of God whether I get paid or not. I learned that in God I trust, but not much with mankind. I learned that if I wouldn’t have learned these lessons I would still be a spoiled brat, self-focused, selfishly driven, shallow, superficial, entitled, victimized, shamed, depressed, inflicting my pain upon others, self righteous, indignant, lazy, whining, etc. Thank you God for placing people around me that ‘grew me up’ with expectations, accountability and that didn’t allow me to wade in my cesspool of whining and complaining when things didn’t go my way. Praise God for my ‘sheltered and privileged’ life!
