If we understood all that God had for us today we wouldn’t be here. The Grace He showed us in our past, the revelation he had for us today and the Prophesy of tomorrow for us only He knows, and this keeps us excited for that day. I am grateful for His ability to redeem through the Blood of Jesus. Are you safe in God’s Word? Are you excited for what He will show you tomorrow? It’s not a guaranty, but I look forward to it.

Haters…
Amos 5: 10, “They hate the one who judges at the gate, and they reject the one who speaks the truth.”
So we come to find the more truth we speak of God’s Word, the more we can expect to be rejected, and this has already as you know, been foretold. Do not be distracted by nay sayers, or you just get caught up in their words and not God’s Word, and you will lose focus on what God’s Glory has in store for you today!
So let the scoffers scoff, they will only get angry when you ignore them, and just say, “It is what it is. As for me I will serve the Lord!! Amen!” God Bless all who hears this and continually moves forward in the Spirit!
If the Holy Spirit gives you a Word, share that Word, it may be for someone you don’t even know. God reveals, not man.
Hesitation can be a killer, as the death of the Soul runs deeper than we will ever comprehend.
Beware of lollipops and roses…
God Bless your day!!!!!

Churchin’ It…
O.k.
Here's one for you Y'all
Why is it that some people are OFFENDED...
When you show up at church?
Maybe we've missed a week or 2,,,
or skipped a bible study..
But that's not the thing...
Some think you just been out there,,
sinning and sinning and sinning,,,
maybe we just doing other normal stuff...
BUT THEY DON'T THINK THAT BECAUSE YOU CAN JUST FEEL IT,
IT'S IN THEIR FACE AND THE EYES...
All the time they've just been so holy...
Never missin a Sunday…
HHHMMMM.........
Never missin a day...
WOW!!!
SO GLAD GOD HAS BLESSED ME WITH FORGIVENESS...
SO I CAN ALSO ASK FOR FORGIVENESS FROM THOSE
WHO ARE OFFENDED THAT I GO TO THEIR CHURCH...
I guess only they are allowed to speak a word...
GOD BLESS EVERYONE!!!!
May God's Grace be upon EVERYONE...
YES I SAID EVERYONE...

Matthew 17:14-21 (YLT)
14 And when they came unto the multitude, there came to him a man, kneeling down to him,
15 and saying, `Sir, deal kindly with my son, for he is lunatic, and doth suffer miserably, for often he doth fall into the fire, and often into the water,
16 and I brought him near to thy disciples, and they were not able to heal him.'
17 And Jesus answering said, `O generation, unstedfast and perverse, till when shall I be with you? till when shall I bear you? bring him to me hither;'
18 and Jesus rebuked him, and the demon went out of him, and the lad was healed from that hour.
19 Then the disciples having come to Jesus by himself, said, `Wherefore were we not able to cast him out?'
20 And Jesus said to them, `Through your want of faith; for verily I say to you, if ye may have faith as a grain of mustard, ye shall say to this mount, Remove hence to yonder place, and it shall remove, and nothing shall be impossible to you,
21 and this kind doth not go forth except in prayer and fasting.
prayer and fasting.
which bible versions DO NOT contain this verse, which is key to the power you have through such things?
God Bless

Some may say to you...
"You can't be working that way for the Lord.
That's not what God has shown me about you."
That's not what has been put in my heart."
Jeremiah 17:9 is what I say....
"The most cunning 'Heart' is beyond help!"
SO THEY TRY TO HANG US BY THEIR THOUGHTS,
AND WHAT THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE PROMISED...
But rest assured...
My God is telling me,
"GIVE IT UP!
LET THEM ALONE!
FOR THEY ARE ALONE!
I WILL DEAL WITH THE CONSEQUENCES!!!"
SO I AM AT PEACE KNOWING,,,
THE ONLY ONES THEY HANG,,,
ARE THEMSELVES...
WORK IT OUT PEOPLE...
OR DEATH IS NOT FAR BEHIND...
GOD BLESS THE HEARERS AND THE DOERS!!!
AAAAMEN!!!!!
HALLELUJAH IF GOD DIDN'T REIGN I'D BE DEAD!!!!

Liar Liar!!! Pants on Fire!!!

"When He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each one having a harp,
AND GOLDEN BOWLS FULL OF INCENSE, WHICH ARE THE PRAYERS OF SAINTS"
(Rev. 5:8).
Liar: A Person Who Does Not Tell the Truth
Truth: Fact that Cannot be Denied

O.K., don’t let me go off the hook here…
This word was supposed to be about prayer and how God accepts and collects them, hence the verse topside. But then He gave me an epiphany and said, “Stop Stop Stop…we gonna talk about lying!” I had no response except my response for most things, “Well Lord, It’s for Your Glory!”
He didn’t say, “DOTH THOU KNOWEST THE WORD LYING?”
Nope, He said, ‘STOP STOP STOP… WE GONNA TALK.”

You see because this would be a lie within itself, as the Lord does not speak in 14th century English to someone who has never spoken that language before and most probably never will.
BECAUSE HE WILL ONLY SPEAK TO YOU IN A LANGUAGE YOU GREW UP WITH.
Yes, we have a King James Version of the Bible,
but do you speak that language on the street?
Doubtful I would say…

O.K., Let me get back to the ‘concept’ of lying:
I SAY CONCEPT, BECAUSE IT HAS TO BE CONCEIVED IN OUR MINDS,
THEN IT HAS TO BE BELIEVED OR DENIED BY OTHERS.

The Bible tells us the thief, or destroyer, “Comes to steal kill and destroy.” So They try to destroy us through THEIR lies, and in this day and age THEY’RE doing a pretty good job taking the Institutional church to its knees to bow to satan. THEY make us question who we are serving by throwing false doctrine and religion in our faces. Are you beginning to see where I’m going with this?
Most of the doctrines today believe in something other than the COMPLETE TRUTH in the WORD OF GOD,
even the tiny little corner churches all over your home town…
Why else would they all be separate and not want to come together for praise and worship, a little revival,
or even just for coffee…
HHMMM…
IT IS AN AGENDA THAT THE DEVIL HAS PLACED IN THEIR HEARTS AND MINDS, THAT THEIR LITTLE ‘FELLOWSHIP’ HAS SOMETHING BETTER AND EVERYONE ELSE IS OF THE DEVIL…
I’m not going to blame the leadership here I’ve done enough of that in the past. They just have become what they have been taught is all and are teaching others the lies they have learned…

Alright, let’s move on:
The devil will use the scriptures to change our minds about the scriptures!!!
Let’s take this as an example:
Luke chapter 4, Jesus was tempted by satan 3 times, but in verse 13 it also says, “The devil departed from Him until the next opportunity.”
So what is that telling us?
That means that every opportunity we give the devil to tempt us,
or lead us into a lie,
he will,
plain and simple here folks,
HE WILL USE ALL THINGS AGAINST US TO GET US TO QUESTION OUR FAITH!

Take this first verse for example,
Revelations 5:8.
If we were not steadfast in our prayers, they would not go up as incense and enter into the household of the Lord, so the devil tells us,
“YOUR PRAYERS DON’T HELP, OUR PRAYERS ARE WORTHLESS
&
HOW COME GOD HAS NOT ANSWERED YOUR PRAYERS?”

HE IS THE MOST VICIOUS OF LIARS, EVEN KNOWING HOW TO LIE TO HIMSELF.
And he does a really good job of showing us how to do it as well,
mostly without us even knowing of how good we are at it by being taught to lie to ourselves.
Proverbs 18: 17,
“THE FIRST PERSON TO TESTIFY SEEMS INNOCENT UNTIL THE OTHER COMES TO CROSS EXAMINE HIM.”
This verse goes reeeeal deep when it comes to exposing a liar or the church today.
WE ALL SEEM INNOCENT AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER,
BUT THROUGH THE RESEARCH OF OTHERS,
AS WE ARE QUESTIONED BY OTHERS,
SOMETIMES WE CAN FIND OUT WHAT LIES WE HAVE OURSELVES BEEN EXPOSED TO AND ACTUALLY BELIEVE AND DEFEND WITH OUR LIVES!
WOW!!!

We, in this day and age,
most definitely have to understand what we are listening to,
what kind of advice is being given us,
and how often the person we are listening to has
actually ‘misinformed’ us in the past.


IT SHOULD LEAD US TO QUESTION THEIR MOTIVES,
THEIR SPIRITS,
AND THEIR INTEGRITY IN THE TRUTH IN THE WORD.

I’M TELLING YOU NOW,
IF THE TRUTH IS NOT SPOKEN,
THERE IS NO MIDDLE GROUND AND ALL ELSE IS A BOLD FACE LIE!

BUT AT THAT, SOME DO NOT EVEN KNOW WHAT THEY ARE LYING ABOUT…

So yes,
we can,
to an extent,
give them a stay of execution by the Grace that God has given us.
And yes, I am smiling as I write this.

In John chapter 7:14-19, our Lord and Savior Jesus decides to go to the Temple and bring some truth to the Jewish leaders,
yet He had to tell them this,
“Those who speak on their own seek Glory for themselves,
those who seek the Glory of Him who sent me are people of truth;
There is no falsehood in them.”
Then He speaks of them wanting to kill Him.
See what the truth will get us?

Possibly death at the hands of man for sure.
“I TAKE REFUGE IN YOU LORD MY GOD, SAVE ME FROM ALL WHO CHASE ME!
RESCUE ME!”
A little quote from Psalms…
These are the ones that we tell to their face that they are liars of the Word of God and they become our worst enemy,
more so than those of religious factions or even athiests…

If we read our Bible,
I mean really really read our Bible we can understand why this statement is so true.
Here is another piece of fruit:
IF WE CLAIM DEVOTION TO GOD BUT DO NOT CONTROL WHAT WE SAY,
THEN WHAT WE DO BECOMES A LIE,
EVEN IF IT HAS TO DO WITH HEALING OR DELIVERANCE.

We see so much of this in the institutional churches and with ‘T.Vangelism’ it breaks my heart as to how many are being lied to, and how many actually accept the lie!
But the Lord speaks heavy of this,
2 Thessalonians 2:11-12,
“This is why God will send them an influence (a delusion) that will mislead them so they will believe the lie.
The result will be that EVERYONE WILL BE JUDGED BY NOT BEING CONVINCED BY THE TRUTH and is ‘happy’ in their iniquity,
immorality, injustice and corrupt activity.”

Yeah, I added a couple of adjectives in there just for a clearer picture.
Jeremiah 14:14,
“The Prophets are telling lies in my name,”
&
in the book of Isaiah 28: 17,
“For we have made lies our hiding place, and in falsehood we take shelter.”
And just one more to get my point across,
and that we see this has been going on for a very long time,
Amos 2: 4 says,
“They have been led off the right path by the same lies after which their ancestors walked.”
So by which path are we walking?
Are we following the signs put up by men?
By signs I mean doctrine, religion, man-made rules and regulations that the Bible does not even mention?
Check out some of the stuff that is in our churches,
like by-laws and ordinances
& see if they are all Biblical…
You just might be surprised…

Even mission statements can be filled with lies,
and people put them out there for all to see.
“BECAUSE THEY HAVE REJECTED THE INSTRUCTION OF THE LORD!”

“Many will follow them in their unrestrained immorality,
and because of these false teachers the way of the truth will be slandered.
In their greed they will take advantage of you with lies.”
Peter sure brings this right to the surface in
His 2nd Epistle and there isn’t much more to say about this than this.

HOW EASY IS IT TO LIE TO OURSELVES IF WE DO NOT RESEARCH THE TRUTH?
THERE IS SO MUCH TODAY THAT MANY BELIEVE IS TRUTH JUST BECAUSE IT’S TOO DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE SUCH A FAR-FETCHED TRUTH. BUT THIS IS AS THE LORD HAS MADE THE TRUTH, SO SIMPLE, THAT WHEN WE ADD OUR HUMAN ‘AUTHORITY’ TO THE WORD IT BECOMES THE MOST DIFFICULT THING IN THE WORLD TO UNDERSTAND.
WHY?
BECAUSE…
THE WORD OF GOD IS NOT OF THIS WORLD!!!!

But the world is surely part of the Word…
O.k. let me close this down:
If God did not spare the angels for their indiscretions,
the ancient world before the flood, Israel throughout history,
if he condemned Sodom and Gomorrah,
all full of lies, deceit and hate and death,
WHY SHOULD HE SHOW ANY COMPASSION FOR US TODAY IN THIS DAY AND AGE WHERE THE LIE IS ACCEPTED AS TRUTH AND THE TRUTH IS MOST DEFINITELY REJECTED?
Well,
if we take a look at it,
except for the angels,
the Lord did spare a few as He will today,
BECAUSE IT IS WRITTEN.
BECAUSE THERE ARE STILL A FEW OF US WHO BELIEVE IN THE TRUTH OF THE TRUTH,
AND THERE IS ONLY ONE WHO DIED ON CROSS
FOR US TO SHOW THAT OUR
GOD FATHER YAHWEH IS NOT A LIAR HIMSLEF…

The ultimate evidence of the truth in the Word,
who is the Word,
and of the Word,
that we have a chance to repent
&
redeem ourselves in truth through the truth in the Word itself.
I will state the truth…
The whole truth…
And nothing but the truth!!!
SO HELP ME GOD!!!
In the mighty name of Jesus of Nazareth!!!!
AMEN!!!

Fatty fat fat….
I was reading the book of Judges and realized that in less than 1 generation after Joshua died, Israel had fallen away from God.
Now in this, I see today God has Blessed this country to the point of laziness and obesity, An overwhelming cup that overfloweth, and now taken for granted and expected from God!
How many generations did it take this Country to fall away?
Constantly the Israelites turned back to God, as this nation should consider doing now.
With all the turmoil around us today, we seek everything but God, and this will be our ultimate downfall.
Consider this, it took 1000 years, then God finally said enough, I will send My Son, and cleanse the nations... nations, not just Israel.
As we look today, we are so blessed, that now we are too fat to receive it!!
Our Blessings have become a curse!!
It Used to be curses could become blessings!!
Now the switch has been flipped. What has happened to this people, that has so many blessings it has no limits?
We've lost discipline in the Blessings!!
Our Blessings are choking and killing us as a nation, Heart disease, Obesity, Diabetes, Diabetic children and asthma, all these things due to our lack of discipline. So much fruit and bread for our baskets!!
EXPECT YOUR BLESSINGS! So says the prosperity gospels…
Now look at our selfishness…
Look at the Israelites today, a flourishing nation only after 60 years in their own country!
And believe it or not most of them are still far away from God!
Yes, God wants us to take advantage of His Blessings, but for us to not give anything in return?
WE CAN NOT TAKE THYE BLESSINGS AND FAVOR FOR GRANTED.
Our cup NOW runneth over now with lies, deception, false religions, homosexuality, murder, adultery, idolotry.... and especially now Narcissism!

There is no end to these things, Racism, from every race as well, and our leaders seem to encourage all these things!!
Any way, at this I ask that would you pray for America, but sometimes I feel the point would mute, but at least for those who God leads you to pray for!
Salvation is now about individuals coming to God. I fear the time of the nations over.
Pray for these folks That they may find the path to righteousness through the only one who can grant that, Jesus Christ, Son of God, our only Lord and Savior. God Bless everyone today, and where and whenever you worship, do it in earnest, for the clock, our clock is ticking.

Why do christians that are not affiliated with the catholic serve the catholics by recognizing lent? The catholic grip on society today is still unrelenting. Why don't we just participate in indulgences as well, so I can save my dead grandma from being in hell, by paying the preacherman a lot of money to keep her from going there. If this is offensive, you should check your convictions to the Gospels. God Bless your thursday!

our ministry in Kenya treats people who are infected with dust bugs.

A Word about the Word….
Prophet…
First of all, do not confuse this word with ‘Profit’. And I certainly would not do this in front of me, no matter what your title…
I was once asked what the definition of a ‘Prophet’ is. So I prayed and the Holy Spirit showed me this, so I will break it down a little for you, plain and simple like:
A prophet is someone (anyone) as needed or required of God that will tell you some stuff that God has already told you Himself, through the Holy Spirit. Now this does not mean that someone (anyone) is a prophet, they just might have a ‘prophetic’ word. If you had listened to God in the first place, God would not have to send a ‘Prophet’ to be a witness! Amen!
Now there are other things involved with being a Prophet, but this pretty much nails it on the head, trust me, if you knew what a Prophet goes through for God, you would run from the calling. It takes a great strength and endurance for such a call. Never take for granted who God has called you to be in His eyes, and in the ‘Kingdom’ of things. Do His works, or the works he has called you to do, and you don’t need a Prophet! Can’t we all just get along?
Prophets are called when you aren’t listening! And then you condemn them for what they speak! Why do you think Israel had so many? They just didn’t want to listen! Don’t be Israel! Don’t be deaf! God is talking to you right now! Open your spiritual ears, your spiritual eyes… This is true Prophetic!
Yeah, you’ve been wondering, wandering and not listening, so I’ll give you the book definition:
Prophecy = Speak or sing by inspiration…
Prophet = one who delivers a divine message…
Again, Prophet + Prophecy = To point out beforehand through divine inspiration…
To get a point across…
To bring messages of obedience…
To bring a message of divination or destruction…
Did you get that one?
Divination or destruction?
HHHMMM…
Last but not least…
GOD BLESS!!! God’s grace!!
LISTEN TO THE WORD OF GOD!!!

This message is about the saints... It's an older Video

As far as lent is concerned. Why do people bring catholic traditions into the Body of Christ? if lent was biblical then please show me, If not show me the where the traditions started. We as the Body of Christ need to celebrate the life the death and the resurrection every single day.

Well, I hope this format is full of God-fearing firm believers in the Gospels of Jesus Christ first.
Last night I attended a weekly gathering of a few churches, and the pastor they chose to speak had a few hiccups in his speech and he didn't seem to be led by the Holy Spirit, sounding like a presbyterian. And when you present yourself like that, then you put your doctrinal belief systems first, and the Gospels 2nd, or 3rd, or however far down the line you want to put it. Then came the banger. He said that Jesus was the ultimate theologian! Being a visitor, and feeling the Holy Spirit being quenched in the room, I KNEW THIS CONGREGATION WOULD NEVER INVITE HIM BACK TO THEIR FELLOWSHIP.
Being new to this platform, I must be blunt from the start. And in future posts I will reveal myself and how God has used me to spread HIS GOSPEL, and only that.
At That, GOD IS NOT A THEOLOGIST! And here is why: This is a paper I did for my leadership study course a few years back. I hope you enjoy. God Bless
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
THEOLOGY:

Theology has its own nature, so in that, is it of the nature of God?

Here is a definition and you decide from here, first and foremost the word philosophy is used,
so is God a God of philosophy by nature?
Or a God of incomplete truth?
Is God a speculator?
Is Jesus an apologist?
Can we reason with the Word?

THEOLOGY IF FLUID BY ITS OWN NATURE BECAUSE IT CONTINUOSLY CHANGES…

I am merely pointing that we spend a lot of time rearranging and changing words that mean more in context than most people think, and today many think its o.k. to interpret the scriptures to fit their philosophical understanding of the Word of God.,.

Words have Power, as Jesus is the Word of God! So when we change the wording, we lose power, we lose authority, we lose our identity,
Please don’t get caught up by man’s excuses and reasons for changing anything that is written into their own words, which have absolutely NO POWER WHATSOEVER!

And, If the late first century and second century church leaders were Greek philosophers (for the most part...)
don’t you think they would have an impact on our translations today?

Enjoy the definition of theology, and please ponder and meditate on the truth of it that you may see the truth I am exposing today.
God Bless....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
THEOLOGY:
FROM ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITTANICA

PHILOSOPHICALLY ORIENTED DISCIPLINE OF RELIGIOUS SPECULATION AND APOLOGETICS THAT IS TRADITIONALLY RESTRICTED, BECAUSE OF ITS ORIGINS AND FORMAT, TO CHRISTIANITY BUT THAT MAY ALSO ENCOMPASS, BECAUSE OF ITS THEMES, OTHER RELIGIONS, INCLUDING ESPECIALLY ISLAM AND JUDAISM.

The themes of theology include God, humanity, the world, salvation, and eschatology (the study of last times).
IT IS SYSTEMATIC INTERPRETATIONS OF THE DIVINE OR SACRED,
Nature Of Theology
The concept of theology that is applicable as a science in all religions and that is therefore neutral is difficult to distill and determine.

The problem lies in the fact that, whereas theology as a concept had its origins in the tradition of the ancient Greeks,
it obtained its content and method only within Christianity.

Thus, theology, because of its peculiarly Christian profile, is not readily transferable in its narrow sense to any other religion.

In its broader thematic concerns, however, theology as a subject matter is germane to other religions.

The Greek philosopher Plato, with whom the concept emerges for the first time, associated with the term theology a polemical intention—as did his pupil Aristotle



For Plato, theology described the mythical, which he allowed may have a temporary pedagogical significance that is beneficial to the state but is to be cleansed from all offensive and abstruse elements with the help of political legislation.
This identification of theology and mythology also remained customary in later Greek thought. In contrast to philosophers, “theologians” (e.g., the 8th-century-BCE Greek poets Hesiod and Homer, the cultic servants of the oracle at Delphi, and the rhetoricians of the Roman cult of emperor worship) testified to and proclaimed that which they viewed as divine.

Theology thus became significant as the means of proclaiming the gods, of confessing to them, and of teaching and “preaching” this confession. In this practice of “theology” by the Greeks lies the prefiguration of what later would be known as theology in the history of Christianity.

In spite of all the contradictions and nuances that were to emerge in the understanding of this concept in various Christian confessions and schools of thought, a formal criterion remains constant:

THEOLOGY IS THE ATTEMPT OF ADHERENTS OF A FAITH TO REPRESENT THEIR STATEMENTS OF BELIEF CONSISTENTLY, TO EXPLICATE THEM OUT OF THE BASIS (OR FUNDAMENTALS) OF THEIR FAITH,
AND TO ASSIGN TO SUCH STATEMENTS THEIR SPECIFIC PLACE WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF ALL OTHER WORLDLY RELATIONS
(E.G., NATURE AND HISTORY) AND SPIRITUAL PROCESSES
(e.g., reason and logic).

Here, then, the above indicated difficulty becomes apparent.
In the first place, theology is a spiritual or religious attempt of “believers” to explicate their faith.
In this sense it is not neutral and is not attempted from the perspective of removed observation—in contrast to a general history of religions.
The implication derived from the religious approach is that it does not provide a formal and indifferent scheme devoid of presuppositions within which all religions could be subsumed.
In the second place, theology is influenced by its origins in the Greek and Christian traditions, with the implication that the transmutation of this concept to other religions is endangered by the very circumstances of origination.
We call men of knowledge great men even though they don’t know God! So how great could they be? We reverence their knowledge and consider it before we consider the words written in scripture.
Ungodly men and their knowledge will perish! Their knowledge is as of a fool! Just because they are SCHOLARLY, does not make them GODLY great men of God…
To them theology is power not the word of God!
AT THIS, WHICH THEOLOGIANS GET IT CORRECT?
WHICH ONES ARE WE LISTENING TO?
WHO DO WE FOLLOW IN THEIR INTERPRETATIONS?
WHICH OF THEIR BIBLICAL OPINIONS BY THEIR NATURE HAS THE NATURE OF GOD?
WHICH ONE TEACHES OF THE HOLY SPIRIT LEADERSHIP?
COUNSELING?
TRUTH?
