when we all stand before the Lord

on that day when we all stand before the Lord there will be many shocked at who enters and who departs. and in the many , many will say Lord Lord I prophesied cast out devils and they will go on to profess their good works and Christ will say depart I never knew you . many today seek to justify self and perceive themselves to be better than others because of their good works. let it be known that good works without Christ are wood hay and stubble and rubbish rags of self-righteousness. there will be those who say Lord Lord I kept your commandments but yet their love has worked ill toward thy neighbor having hidden hate in heart against their brother . things to thing on let your boast be in Christ alone . let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth Me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD.

song I am working on

beating down your block like a bass drum with this warning flee from the wrath to come pump your brakes stop and look to The SON 
quick jump on this beat like it was Noah's Ark I know the way I know the Truth He is the Life Christ is calling you to cross over from death to life from darkness to light I ain't gotta prayer for you to recite because ya need to pray from your heart go ahead you start i stand here and reflect on Jesus words Father forgive them for they know not what they do we come like the thief hanging on the cross next to you our punishment is just 
Lord we know we don't deserve your mercy still you will that none perish but that all should come to repentance Lord give us the love that when we see the multitudes we move with compassion and embrace the Great commission come Lord be thou our vision you said all nations I know you were talking more than just social media because you said go into the highways and byways and compel them to come in that Your house may be full and there I know you weren't talking four walls full of pews many are called few are chosen the harvest truly is plenteous but the Laborers are few Lord raise up laborers the streets need a pastor too Let Your Gospel be preached in demonstration of The Spirit and of power some wanna be teachers great speakers Oh Lord I see people moved with applaud and the wow factor but weeping altars are empty people waking up first thing gotta check social media see who all like my status who commented and who I can rebuke preachers of the Law swinging the hammer without the Spirit Lord flood our hearts with conviction cleanse us from filthy rags of self righteousness so many wanna confront the sinner and with a blind eye ignore their own sin some quick to yell hypocrite even confront the obvious hypocrite but ignore the hidden hypocrite in their self and some are blood thirsty with the letter I hear them yelling stone her crucify him right about now with that last line they just got puffed up it saddens me to see them power tripping wanting judgement now so many lost souls but so many just wanna yell reprobate some envy sinners for having this or that having a little more money yet they stand and condemn the prosperity movement . motive matters and the Truth is what shall set people free . to all who read this don't get it twisted it's for me too I have been guilty of falling short myself love i was set ought to show at times worked ill to my neighbor . the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak 
we gotta break away from the crowds at time and break away from our busyness and get alone with The Father .we need to be about His buisness more of Him less of us . we find increase in our decrease of self .

our heart and flesh may fail but God never will.

our heart and flesh may fail but God never will. many in this world blame God for things that happen tragedy and loss but few embrace personal responsibility 
every choice has a consequence and every action a reaction . we reap what we sow. why is there racism ?in this world there are many stereo types . no one has to live in the label of stereo types but people choose to everyday people make choices but want to complain when they are stereo typed into a certain category . it doesn't matter where you have been what you have done it doesn't matter if the streets is all you know you do not have to continue living that way. there is Hope and newness of life through the Lord Jesus Christ. it is time for people to be accountable everyone wants to blame something or someone but many don't wanna look in the mirror and see the image they reflect they just run to the streets run to the drugs the parties the sex the racism the gangs etc.. yet they can't figure out why life is so messed up . choices and consequences look at the image you reflect because the image you reflect is how people will perceive things. all the evil in the world comes down to a heart issue the violence comes down to no inner peace so there is no outward peace. the emptiness and loneliness can only be fixed by a active relationship with the Lord and a active daily pursuit of Him. self has to decrease . I have saw christians on here in rage about the fergusson situation . listen it does not matter the color of skin what it comes down to is sin aka a heart issue . black cop white cop white citizen black citizen it doesn't matter the color of the skin. christians ought to set a better example quit fueling the hate and do something that makes a difference . don't allow yourselves to be brainwashed by controlled media. you can see their agenda ?? wake up ! they taught us this history in school for a reason and now the media plays part in trying to get the people to repeat the history of the past . it is almost 2015 it is time to let it go . it is time to move forward . tragedy exists because sin is present sin brings death . you have a choice to repeat history or rewrite History . you have a choice to live like you always have or live in newness of life through the Lord Jesus Christ. there are some who grew up with a alcoholic father and they grew up saying I don't wanna be like that I don't want to live like that I wanna be better etc.. so why do some white people wanna be like american history x and why do some blacks wanna be like malcom x ? it makes no sense to think that you can follow their examples and reap different results. every drug dealer who has ever been caught and served a sentence in jail got out and thought he would be smarter this time he would do things different what happens ? the drug dealer always gets caught again . the only way anyone will see or experience change is when their lives are submitted to the Lord Jesus Christ ! can't you see this world system is corrupt and unjust ? the felon can't get a job the one who didn't graduate or get a ged struggles to find a job. the rich get richer the poor get poorer . people mistakenly attack the people and their own communities where is the accountability ? the world system and government is corrupt ! and people have faults they don't wanna look at. it is time to wake up it is time to adjust your focus to the Lord Jesus Christ. we go ghettos slums projects thugs gangs drug dealers drug addicts pimps prostitution etc.. most have it for a dollar that doesn't make sense . the devil is pimpin many lives into slavery to sin . the devil is the pimp who pimps the pimp that pimps the prostitute . the devil is the pimp who promotes violence lust adultery drugs murders etc... satan entices and demons influence those who are children of disobedience . you see racism satan is the pimp promoting it and his demons influence it ! you see abortions satan pimped promoted and deceived that woman to believe she just wasn't ready to be a mom and aborting the kids would be best satan is the pimp behind it and his demons influence it. it is time to wake up and wage war the church has slept in silence afraid to offend people with the truth and people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. it is time to wage war properly on our knees in prayer and with the sword of the spirit which is the word of God.

Life is valuable

Life is valuable but so many don't treasure it as a gift they just abuse it and measure it for pleasure and it's never enough too satisfy time flies Highs lows and Goodbyes blind eyes can't see the end draws nigh many will experience the regret of not being set apart , life is like art but too many wanna paint their own picture and to them scripture doesn't matter because they know better foolishly they thought themselves to be wiser . real is a dying breed misconceived by a great population past generations twisted the code yet today the lies of old control and mold a great many plenty of blood shed but they don't look to the One who shed His Blood perfect Atonement dwell on that for a moment reviled yet He reviled not threatened yet He threatened not loved His enemies while He hung on a cross and cried out Father forgive them for they know not what they do. where is Authentic love in Christianity ? where is love in this cruel dark cold world 
love is waxing cold people want justice and Judgement yet I still hear our Savior crying out Father forgive them for they know not what they do . so many gladly except second chances but few approve of second chances. The Christ who came to seek and to save the Lost wills not that any should perish but that all would come to repentance longsuffering and merciful He is a just Holy righteous judge He is having mercy on whom He wills yet blood thirsty Hypocrites Just want the Judgement stone her Crucify Him . love is waxing cold people want justice and Judgement yet I still hear our Savior crying out Father forgive them for they know not what they do . we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 
some have forgot what being lost was like some have forgot that a lost person is under the dominion of satan being alienated and enemies in the mind by wicked works because the god of this world has blinded the minds of them which believe not causing them to walk in vanity of mind having their understanding darkened alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them because of blindness of heart having a carnal mind which is enmity against God. 
understanding the depth of bondage that a lost soul is in should fill our hearts with compassion to reach out to them with the Gospel that sets free. remember we were once lost too. now lets be salt and Light a voice of truth & love reaching to rescue them from the grips of the enemy

we never know how much faith we have until are faith is all we have

we never know how much faith we have until are faith is all we have. the fact that we are still standing speaks volumes . when we are feeling weak and when satan tries to deceive us and make us feel like it's over or like we can't stand anymore ya gotta remind yourself how much you have already overcome through Christ . by design made in His image in His likeness we have been designed to conquer . we are more than conquerors through Christ . sometimes we gotta go through severe storms and fiery trials and the enemy tries to use it t destroy us but God uses the storms we go through in many ways for His Glory alone. trials and storms keep us humble and cause us to be mindful every minute that there is no self sufficiency that will get us through there is no self sufficiency that we can save ourselves . not by might nor by power but by MY SPIRIT SAYS THE LORD. His Grace is sufficient. we cannot put our confidence in our own abilities or in man . our foundation must be built upon the Rock . For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. weapons will form but they shall not prosper , the winds will blow the storm floods will beat upon our house sometimes we may feel like we are drowning but if we don't want to sink then we must keep our eyes on Jesus walking on those waters otherwise we will sink like peter did.

there is hope

lonely roads and cold dark nights struggles and the fights with restlessness many thoughts running miles in the wrong direction prodigal sons and prodigal daughters there shall be more Joy in Heaven over one sinner who repents more than over ninety and nine just persons . they who are whole have no need of the physician but they who are sick Jesus came not to call the righteous but sinners to repentance. Only Christ can remove your death sentence that the wages of sin have held against you. through Christ you can cross over from death to life from darkness to light. from no peace to peace from miserable to joyful from empty to full Only through Christ ! He is The Way The Truth and The Life. the thief came to steal to kill and to destroy. Jesus came that we might have life and that we might have it more abundantly. this day before all of mankind life and death is set before us all . choose life !

through valleys dark nights deep sorrows heaviness and heart break stay the course

through valleys dark nights deep sorrows heaviness and heart break stay the course when nothing makes sense when you feel like giving up keep standing even when you feel like you can barely stand and when ya feel like you can't take another step . Jesus is still there ya just gotta pull away from the circumstances and noise so you can hear Him speak. sometimes the circumstances tempt us to doubt and in our own strength we try to figure it all out. just gotta trust that the Lord has a plan and give everything into His hands. when you're going through it is when you find out who is really there for you. when you discover them to be few don't be discouraged and don't become offended . because you went through it and made it out you will have the compassion to be there for them when they need you. 
remember this ---> To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

it is good to have someone to talk to when you're going through stuff . someone who will truly compassionately listen. Jesus is that friend who will always compassionately listen when your heart is heavy and your strength is weak .when all the odds are stacked against you and you feel like you can barely stand and many thoughts are running through your mind with many questions . Jesus is that friend who sticks closer than a brother He will always have the time and take the time to listen with compassion. people are often busy and plan their own course and brush ya off but Jesus will never do that.

when a house is remodeled everything old is torn down and ripped out before it is restored and made new. do you feel like that like your being torn down and ripped out? if so surrender to the Lord and let Him do His work and rip out whatever needs to be removed from your life, let Him tear down any strongholds that have built walls in your mind & heart. Trust in the Lord. when the vessel is in the refiners fire the heart is being purged it may be painful . remember the heart is deceitful and desperately wicked. but the Lord knows the heart He tries our heart. sometimes there are hidden things that we either can't see or ignored but the Lord sees it all. you will grow through this so hang on to God . sometimes in this process we may lose friends jobs etc.. whatever it may be its worth it and there is a purpose.

don't be discouraged in times of brokenness . we were all broken when the Lord called us to Him and in our brokenness He did a Mighty work in us and through us. circumstances can be overwhelming and sometimes with all that is happening in the Life of the believer we get discouraged even times feel broken . personally I have been through seasons where I felt so broken and it seemed like everything in my life was falling apart but it was in my brokenness and weakness that the Lord was drawing me to a greater trust in Him and a more intimate relationship . see there were times when I couldn't bring myself to even pray and in those times I have witnessed God's power at work in my life carrying me when I couldn't walk and holding me together when everything around me was falling apart. enduring this I learned a valuable lesson to be still and trust in the Lord with all of my heart . .it seems that in my brokenness I learned to be more sensitive to the leading of the Holy spirit and i was filled with more compassion for people and was able to quickly and clearly recognize the needs of people and more effectively minister to those needs . since that very first season of enduring such things my prayer has been Lord keep me broken if thats what it takes because most of my growth has came in my brokenness its in the trials and storms of life that we grow the most

powerful

Romans 6:3-5) 3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. 5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:

Colossians 2:11-12) 11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: 12 Buried with Him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with Him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised Him from the dead.

1 Corinthians 15:29 Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?

Galatians 3:27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

Romans 8:11 But if the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, He that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by His Spirit that dwelleth in you

1 Corinthians 6:14 And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.

Galatians 6:15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.

Colossians 3:1-4) 1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new

Ephesians 1:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

Ephesians 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

Romans 13:14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

 

Romans 13:14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

Ephesians 4:24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

Colossians 3:10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of Him that created him.

Galatians 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

Galatians 5:25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit

1 Peter 2:11 Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul

Romans 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His.

Romans 8:14-16) 
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God

religion in the church today goes to the cross but not through the cross it time to go to the cross through the cross and crucify our flesh and rise as a new creation in Christ by the power of God and walk in His Spirit in newness of Life. Romans 6 is a powerful chapter that opened my eyes back in 2009 . I sat in church services I saw people go to the altar and leave the same way that they walked in and that was nothing more than a form of godliness and here it is 2014 and I see some of the same people not being changed not growing . i sat for awhile and wondered why and the reason is they went to the cross stopping there wanting full benefits but they don't want to get on the cross and crucify the flesh they don't want to go to the tomb and die they don't wanna be planted in the likeness of His death they haven't been buried with Him yet so they have not yet been raised in the likeness of His Resurrection . and to them Luke 9:23 is verbally spoken but not physically lived in action .

 

For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness

1 Thessalonians 4:7 For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.

Titus 2:12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world

1 Peter 1:14 As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance.

1 Peter 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light

Ephesians 5:27 That He might present it to Himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

Colossians 1:21-22) 21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath He reconciled 22 In the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:

Ephesians 1:18-23) 18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, 19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, 20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, 21 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: 22 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, 23 Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.

Ephesians 5:8-17) 8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: 9 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) 10 Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. 11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. 12 For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret. 13 But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. 14 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. 15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, 16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. 17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.

1 Thessalonians 4:3-7) 3 For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication: 4 That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour; 5 Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God: 6 That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified. 7 For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.

stop running to entertainment and start running to God

the tree is known by its fruit and while many say God knows my heart the treasures of your heart are known by what you speak and through your actions. gotta pray for those who have strayed away from the Gospel.stop running to entertainment and start running to God . do you have no time for Him anymore ? has your anointing so dried up that your lamp is lacking oil so much that you gotta preach and defend the things of this world? repent and return to your first love sunday servant come back the Lord come back humbly . you want the anointing back its gonna cost you and it will require sacrifice

The missing joy in the heart of a bored Christian is filled with entertainment. But that void is empty and going through the motions can not fill the void. Only if you will set thyself apart to whole heartedly seek the face of God only then in submission and devotion can you begin to be restored. Return to Christ your first love.

lost vision

the Great commission has become a lost vision and in the church discipleship is missing so pews of God's children are tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine by the sleight of men
the Great commission has become a lost vision in place men bring the fleshly visions though God has been saying set thy house in order they continue to go their own way a one man show one man in control the house sits out of order as the body of Christ sits paralyzed in pews gifts and talents going to waste men and women in the pews sit on their call while some run from the call . everything is to be done decently and in order but because there is no order there is confusion and God is not the author of confusion .end of service altar calls yet they leave the same as when they came in. no flesh shall glory in His presence .hype shouting jumping and clapping hearts far from the Lord and their worship is in vain. revival after revival yet the dead remain dead as the blind lead the blind. the flesh tries to work up an atmosphere of anointing a atmosphere of His presence but the blind cannot tell The same things that caused Ichabod in Israel—sin, disobedience, idolatry—are present in many of today’s churches. Christians must never take the glory of God in our midst for granted, lest we wake up one day and find that Ichabod has become a reality among us

it has been divinely set in place that God be our first love

it has been divinely set in place that God be our first love . and it has been commanded by God for us to love Him with all our heart with all our soul and with all of our mind. and to love our neighbor as ourselves .outside of God there can be no true love.

many rush love and relationships and because many men and women are seeking love they end up finding it in the wrong places and they end up finding heartache

look at this younger generation and even those in my age bracket. men and women seeking love think they will find it in sexual pleasures. irresponsible boys who call themselves men are out there getting girls pregnant and they leave and go onto the next girl. according to the Bible these boys who call themselves a man are not a man at all. look how many single mothers there are out there struggling to raise a child our children by their selves . yes there are also single fathers where the mother has left . look at how many fatherless children there are . and the mothers are stuck looking for love in the wrong places finding another deadbeat . some run to bars drinks and drugs some run into the arms of ex's finding temporary fulfillment .

the yoke must be equal no yoke can be equal if God isn't our first love. worldly love is unforgiving un-merciful the roots of worldly love are founded in sin & pleasures . many men and women are still seeking to be loved feel loved .there is an identity crisis many do not know who they are in Christ many do not know that God has His own will plan and purpose for them. the crisis will end in surrender to Jesus , finding love in the wrong places will stop when you commit and surrender your life into God's hands.

realize this

you gotta realize that there will be people who say they are for you but secretly they are against you. it take discernment to see through the deceitful flatters who flatter with charm and who secretly are just waiting for you to fall. 
you gotta know that there will be some who turn against you . and you gotta know that there will be those who will only do for those who can do for them. some do not have the Love of God , many have a scratch my back I'll scratch yours type of worldly love.

we must remember the times we live in. these are days of betrayal hatred love waxing cold people being lovers of self lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God. these are days where many have a form of Godliness but deny the power thereof. these are days of itching ears many departing from the faith giving heed to seducing spirits.

the enemy knows his time is short he is roaring about like a lion seeking whom he may devour. these are days of false prophets rising up every where prophesying falsely from the deceitfulness of their wicked hearts. be sober and vigilant take heed watch and pray put on the whole armour of God. Hold fast to the Truth of God . stay focused remain humble looking to Jesus the Author and finisher of our faith. let no man take thy crown

something the Lord spoke to me

I was walking home eating a mcdouble from mcdonalds one day recently and the burger was horrible the bun wasn't fresh and I threw pieces of the bun on the ground. and the Lord says the Homeless would eat that with great joy and thankfulness . I was then reminded when Jesus fed the multitudes and He cared enough to collect the fragments and save them . I was also reminded of the scripture whether you eat or drink whatsoever you do do unto the Glory of God.
as i continued walking I became more aware of how spoiled this nation is and the Lord said many of My people are unthankful and ungreatful and desire much. many of my people sit at tables full of food and waste much and few will lift a finger to help the homeless and the needy. the homeless when they do eat or drink do it unto the Glory of God with great joy and thankfulness. we tend to take a lot for granted and have become wasteful people . the homeless find bread and break it with their fellow man they share and they give and the Lord said My people can learn from them but many do not see ME in them because they are homeless they have nothing and look dirty but are cleaner inside than many who call themselves christian. America needs to wake up ! the church needs to repent ! God's people need to forsake selfishness and learn to be selfless . our self righteousness is as filthy rags . it's time to take the lower seat . it is time to truly walk in humility ! authentic humility !

sometimes we get discouraged

sometimes we get discouraged because we are praying for loved ones and often because we can't see what God is doing we think He isn't working on them yet. God does a inward work that we can't see right away outwardly. just because we can't see what God is doing in our loved ones who we are praying for doesn't mean that He isn't working in them.

look at the thief who hung on the cross next to Jesus , no one could see that God was doing a work in him until that man confessed that their punishment was just and then looks to Jesus and says Lord remember me when you enter your kingdom and Jesus said this day will you be with me in paradise.

sometimes we are backwards wanting to see God work from the outside in but God does a work from the inside out

America and the people within it's borders are trying to save their selves

America and the people within it's borders are trying to save their selves their land and the American dream . first off the American dream is dead . no man woman Government or nation can save themselves in their own strength or abilities no fleshly carnal wisdom shall save anyone nor will carnal efforts. to be carnally minded is death ! when a man a woman nation or Government tries to save themselves without the help submission and obedience to God Almighty their foundation becomes sinking sand and when the storm hits when the floods come and the wind blows and beats upon them great will be the fall of them. all that can be shaken will be shaken . and this word signifies the removing of those things that are shaken as of things which are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.

Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of Mine (Jesus' sayings), and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

you're only approved to preach if you go to Bible college . # things Jesus never said.

you're only approved to preach if you go to Bible college . # things Jesus never said.

self called religious men said that. God said Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

God does the calling He does the choosing and the Lord equips those He has called .

Acts 1:22-25) 22 Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection. 23 And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias. 24 And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the hearts of all men, shew whether of these two thou hast chosen, 25 That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.

Acts 6:3-4) 3 Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business. 4 But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.

1 Corinthians 2:9-16) 9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. 11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. 16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

it is time for you the get back the Joy of the Lord the Joy of His salvation.

it is time for you the get back the Joy of the Lord the Joy of His salvation.
many have become discouraged distracted and weary. some have been wounded from things people have said and done to them, wounds of past hurts may have resurfaced . some may even be questioning whats the purpose any more . God made you to live in victory not defeat. God has ordained for you to have joy not depression. even in the midst of dark times trouble and chaos the Lord has ordained for you to have joy in Christ by His sufficient Grace .

you might be praying and praying and it may seem like nothing is changing so you feel like the Lord isn't hearing your prayers. just because nothing is changing right now doesn't mean the Lord isn't hearing you. maybe things are doing nothing but get worse, that doesn't mean the Lord isn't hearing you and it doesn't mean He has forsaken you. this might just be a season of endurance and perserverance for you to test your faithfulness and draw you closer to the Lord to a greater trust in the Lord. don't give up and don't lose hope just because things are hard right now. keep trusting in the Lord with all of your heart keep seeking Him with all of your heart. don't turn to the left or to the right focus forward the way is straight and narrow . narrow means divine conditions suffering and afflictions .
press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

some say you need the evidence referring to speaking in tongues

some say you need the evidence referring to speaking in tongues. oneness pentacostal's teach you don't have the Holy Ghost if you do not speak in tongues they also teach that you're not truly saved & born again if you do not speak in tongues. this oneness pentacostal teaching is false .

let's look at evidence

the evidence is demonstration of The spirit and of power. it is walked out . people can tongue talk it all day evidence is in the walk of newness of life as a new creation in Christ submitting to the will of The Father . the evidence is a inward work of the Holy spirit that produces a inward holiness that shines as salt and light and is a city set on a hill that cannot be hid lamps full of oil in dark and perilous times. the evidence is uncompromising the evidence is enduring til the end. the evidence is keeping ourselves in the Love of God. the evidence is the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

John 14:25-27
25 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you. 26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. 27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

John 16:13-15
13 Howbeit when He, the Spirit of truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth: for He shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak: and He will shew you things to come . 14 He shall glorify Me: for He shall receive of Mine, and shall shew it unto you. 15 All things that the Father hath are Mine: therefore said I, that He shall take of Mine, and shall shew it unto you.

 

 1 Corinthians 12:27-31) 27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. 28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues. 29 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles? 30 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret? 31 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.

 you know what is sad when the oneness pentecostals push tongues on everyone and it become heavy weights on them and those who are new in faith or weak in faith are caused to stumble feeling like something is wrong with them because they don't speak in tongues or seeing and hearing them say they feel like the Lord don't love them as much as someone else because they don't speak in tongues but others do . strife and contention there

sadly some are more focused on the Gifts than the Giver of all Gifts and some feel they are more righteous because they speak in tongues. some focus on works and feel that they are more righteous but who is greatest ? Matthew 18:1-6) 1 At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? 2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, 3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. 4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me. 6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. what is the greatest gift ? love and it abideth forever

Acts 2:38-39) 38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. 39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
J.W. McGarvey gives this sound insight ----> The expression receive the Gift of the Holy Ghost means the Holy Spirit as a gift, and the reference is to that the indwelling of the Holy Spirit by which we bring forth the fruits of the Spirit, and without which we are not of Christ.”

 

 

 

Truth

in surrender God does a new thing in our lives He makes all things new . when the Holy Spirit is come upon you He will lead you into all Truth. the only opinion that will matter is the Lord's . The Lord will empower you to be His witness you will be bold strong and courageous . in some cases religious men will accuse you of causing strife and contention etc.. and in other cases it will be like Acts 4:13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.

John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come

Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth

 

2 Corinthians 5:17 

 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

the Truth is not popular and those who refuse to compromise will not be popular . we are not here to be popular nor are we called for popularity or applause

 

the Truth is the Truth will offended people . Truth will either be loved and obeyed or hated and rejected. people will either choose to harden their hearts or allow the truth to soften them. the truth will break a man and crush him to repentance it is the hammer of God's truth that breaks a person from selfish love and fleshly love for sin . the truth is what shall set people free. no man can serve two masters No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. the cares of the world will choke the word and make it unfruitful.
