WHAT LOVE DOES !

2010-03-01T14:42:00.000-08:00

I'M FINDING THAT THE GREATER ONE'S SELF-CONFIDENCE IS, THE MORE UNDERSTANDING OF OTHERS.

HOW CAN ANYONE EVER TRULY KNOW THEMSELVES ENOUGH TO BE CONFIDANT, AND NOT ALSO TAKE NOTE OF ALL OF THEIR OWN FLAWS.

I ALSO AM DISCOVERING HOW THE MOST COMPASSIONATE HAVE USUALLY ENCOUNTERED THE MOST CALAMITY, HEARTACHE, TRAGEDY, FAILURE, AND DISAPPOINTMENT.

HOW CAN OUR HEARTS BLEED FOR OTHERS, WITHOUT HAVING FIRST SPILLED GALLONS OF OUR OWN BLOOD ON LIFE'S UNFORGIVING FLOOR.

IF WHAT WE ARE TO DO WILL BENEFIT THE WORLD OR ONLY ONE, IT WILL COST US DEARLY.

THE TRULY GIFTED ARE MIRACLES BECAUSE THEY BLEED FAR MORE THEN THEY CAN HOLD, YET THEY CONTINUE TO BLEED, AND GIVE.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:

SOME OF LIFE'S GREATEST BLEEDING WOUNDS WILL COME FROM THOSE WE ATTEMPT TO FREELY SHARE WHAT SO GREATLY COST US, AND IT IS REJECTED.

BUT....SOME OF THE GREATEST HEALING COMES WHEN ALLOWED TO ASSIST THE SAME ONES THAT EARLIER REJECTED AND INJURED YOU, BECAUSE IT'S JUST WHAT LOVE DOES.

WHICH HALF ARE YOU ?

2010-02-28T13:57:00.000-08:00

HALF OF ALL CHRISTIANS WILL BE MISERABLE BECAUSE OF THEIR IGNORANCE REGARDING THE WORD OF GOD.

THE OTHER HALF WILL BE MISERABLE DUE THEIR KNOWLEDGE OF THE WORD OF GOD.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:

IN THE CHURCH WHAT WE RECEIVE FROM GOD, AND WHATEVER FAITH WE ATTAIN WILL BE DIRECTLY AFFECTED BY OUR WORD KNOWLEDGE.

WE WILL ALSO BECOME AWARE OF JUST HOW OFF THE MARK THE CHURCH IS BY OUR WORD KNOWLEDGE,

IN CLOSING: KNOWLEDGE CAN BRING POWER AND BLESSINGS, OR VISION/DISCERNMENT AND MISERY.

LEARNING THINGS !!

2010-02-27T14:32:00.001-08:00

THE PROBLEM WITH MOST SAINTS IS WHEN THEY GOT SAVED THEY BOUGHT INTO THE GRAVE MISCONCEPTION THAT GOD WAS LIKE SOME COSMIC GENIE.

THEY BELIEVED GOD WOULD GRANT ALL WISHES OF THEIR DESIRES, AND LIFE WOULD BE A CAKE WALK INTO HEAVEN.

THIS ERRONEOUS THINKING IS THE PRECIPITANT OF GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT.

WHEN WE COME INTO CHRISTIANITY EXPECTING EVERYTHING FROM GOD, WHENEVER HE BLESSES US WITH ANYTHING, IT APPEARS TO BE NOTHING.

THEREBY CAUSING US IN OUR CARNALITY TO ACCUSE GOD OF FAILING US, AS SATAN DESIRES, AND QUITE POSSIBLY LEADING TO OUR BACKSLIDING.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:

IF WE ADOPT THE ATTITUDE OF SERVING GOD TO PLEASE HIM, AND NOT ONLY SEEKING THINGS FROM HIM WE'LL BE FAR MORE GRATEFUL WHEN HE DOES BLESS US.

IF WE EXPECT NOTHING, WHEN WE RECEIVE SOMETHING, IT WILL SEEM LIKE EVERYTHING.

EITHER WAY WE PAY

2010-02-26T20:29:00.000-08:00

WE MAY NOT EVER GET ALL WE DESIRE, PRAY FOR, BELIEVE IN, AND WORK FOR
FROM GOD IN THIS LIFE.

WHEN WE DO RECEIVE ANYTHING OF SPIRITUAL VALUE FROM GOD, SUCH AS GIFTING'S, ANOINTING'S, CALLINGS, MANTLES, KNOWLEDGE, WISDOM, AND VISION IT IS CERTAIN WE WILL PAY DEARLY FOR THEM.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:

IT MAY NOT COST US ANYTHING TO BE SAVED, BUT IT WILL COST US TO EXCEL AT SALVATION, AND TO JUST STAY SAVED !!

IF WE FAIL TO PAY GOD'S PRICE, WE'LL PAY SATAN'S !

PICK OF THE WEAK !!

2010-02-25T14:17:00.000-08:00

2Timothy 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

WEAK LEADERS ARE USUALLY APPOINTED BY EVEN WEAKER LEADERS, EVEN WHEN THEY WON'T BE AROUND AFTER APPOINTING THEIR SUCCESSORS.

THIS IS DO TO THE FACT THAT THEIR INSECURITIES WON'T ALLOW THEM ANY PEACE DUE TO THEIR FEAR OF BEING OUTSHONE.

ALONG WITH THE KNOWLEDGE THAT THEIR INEPTNESS WOULD BE DISCOVERED BY ANY COMPETENT SUCCESSOR.

WEAK MEN, MAKE WEAK LEADERS, AND CARNAL, IGNORANT FOLLOWERS ENABLE THEIR INCOMPETENCE, ASSISTING IN THEIR OWN DEMISE, AS WELL AS MAKING THEMSELVES CULPABLE IN THE EYES OF THE LORD.

IN OTHER WORDS, THERE WILL BE NO EXCUSE ACCEPTED BY GOD WHEN IT COMES TO WHY SAINTS WILLINGLY STAY IN CHURCHES HAVING THEIR ITCHING EARS SCRATCHED BY CHARLATAN PASTORS OF DISASTER.

JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE BEEN BAPTIZED IN JESUS' NAME, FILLED WITH HIS SPIRIT ATTEND A CHURCH, AND LISTEN TO SOMEONE THAT CALLS THEMSELVES A PASTOR DOESN'T MEAN YOU WILL GET TO STAY IN HEAVEN.

BE CAREFUL WHERE YOU WORSHIP, WHO YOU FOLLOW, WHAT THEY TEACH, AND WHAT YOU SWALLOW.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:

THE PROLONGED AND EXCESSIVE CONSUMPTION OF ERRONEOUS TEACHING WILL LEAD TO A WEAKENED WALK, AND A WEAKENED SOUL.

WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR SEEKING, ACQUIRING AND SECURING THE KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED TO LIVE SAVED, PLEASE GOD, AND MAKE IT TO HEAVEN.

REMEMBER IRON SHARPENS IRON, AND WEAK PRODUCES WEAKER !

WE MUST BE STRONG IN THE WORD, HAVE A STRONG RESOLVE, AND STRONGER FAITH IN GOD , AND HIS ABILITY TO LEAD, GUIDE, AND DIRECT US TO THE RIGHT PLACE, AND PASTOR.

DON'T BE WEAK AND PICK WEAK LEADERS.

CLOSER THEN WE THINK !

2010-02-24T14:19:00.000-08:00

IF GOD IS ALL THAT PREVENTS SATAN'S COMPLETE REIGN OVER THE EARTH, AND WE STILL SUFFER AS WE DO.

I WOULD NEVER WANT TO EXIST WITHOUT GOD.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:

REGARDLESS OF HOW DISTANT GOD MAY SEEM FROM US, HE IS CLOSER THEN SATAN WANTS HIM TO BE.

IF ONLY WE REALIZED HOW CLOSE GOD IS.

TOMORROW, YESTERDAY, AND TODAY!!

2010-02-23T14:31:00.000-08:00

SATAN WOULD LOVE TO BOG US DOWN WITH OUR PAST MISTAKE, ERRORS, WRONG DOINGS, IGNORANCE, AND SIN'S.

WHEN THE UNGODLY STRIVE, PLOT, AND SCHEME TO MANIPULATE OTHERS THEY FAIL TO REALIZE THEY ARE PAWNS OF THE MASTER MANIPULATOR, SATAN.

SINCE WHEN HAVE PUPPETS PUT ON PUPPET SHOWS.

THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT WE WITNESS WHEN WE SEE PAWNS ATTEMPTING TO MANIPULATE WHO THEY DESIRE TO MAKE PAWNS.

IF WE SAY GOD FORGAVE US OF OUR SINS, WHO ARE WE TO HOLD ON TO WHAT HE'S THROWN AWAY.

WHEN WE DO THIS, ON ONE HAND WE MAKE OURSELVES gOD'S BY DETERMINING WHAT GETS FORGIVEN.

THEN ON THE OTHER HAND, WE CONDEMN OURSELVES BY UNDOING THE FORGIVING GOD HAS ALREADY DONE.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:

WE MUST LEARN THAT SATAN DESIRES FOR US TO LOSE OUR TOMORROWS IN CHRIST, BY FOCUSING ON SATAN'S YESTERDAYS, TODAY'S!

LESS TALK, MORE WALK !

2010-02-22T14:51:00.000-08:00

IF SAINTS SPENT LESS TIME SPEAKING ABOUT BEING GOOD SAINTS, AND CONCENTRATED ON ACTUALLY BEING GOOD SAINTS, WE WOULD HAVE A BETTER CHURCH AND WORLD.

WHY ARE WE SO MUCH BETTER AT CRITIQUING, THEN AT BEING ?

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:

CHRISTIANITY IS AN ACTION, NOT A TITLE.

ARE YOU TRUE ?

2010-02-21T15:32:00.000-08:00

MY LIFE HAS BEEN SPENT ATTEMPTING TO BE TRUE TO MYSELF, BOTH PRIOR TO BEING REBORN OF WATER, AND SPIRIT, AND SINCE.

THIS OF COURSE HAS LED TO MY STANDING ALONE, BEING OSTRACIZED, RIDICULED, MISLABELED, MISJUDGED, AND AVOIDED ON MANY OCCASIONS.

KNOWING WHO I AM IS A GIFT FROM GOD.

BEING COMFORTABLE WITH WHO I AM IS NOTHING SHORT OF A MIRACLE.

AS I WATCH SO MANY OTHERS STRIVING TO BE SOMEONE OTHER THEN WHO GOD CREATED THEM TO BE, I VALUE MY UNIQUENESS, AND ACCEPTANCE OF IT EVEN MORE.

I MAY NOT BE PERFECT, BUT I'M PERFECTLY ME.

THE PRESSURE OF ATTEMPTING TO REMEMBER WHO YOU WERE YESTERDAY MUST BE A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR TO SO MANY PEOPLE'S POOR MENTAL, PHYSICAL, AND EMOTIONAL STATE

WHEN I AM BLESSED OF THE LORD TO WAKE IN THE MORNING THERE IS ONE LESS PRESSURE ON ME.

THERE IS ONE LESS THOUGHT TO REMEMBER, BECAUSE I LIVED YESTERDAY AS MYSELF, WENT TO BED AS MYSELF, AND LORD WILLING WILL WAKE UP AS MYSELF.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:

SOMEWHERE ALONG THE WAY I DISCOVERED THAT IF I ATTEMPT TO PLEASE ALL, MOST WILL DISLIKE ME, IDENTIFYING ME AS A PHONY.

I ALSO DISCOVERED SOMEWHERE ALONG THE LINE THAT, IF I SIMPLY AM TRUE TO WHO I AM IN CHRIST JESUS, LIVING, BEHAVING, AND SPEAKING AS GENUINE AS I CAN.

THAT SOME WILL DISLIKE ME BASED ON OUR DIFFERENCES OF OPINIONS, BUT MORE WILL LIKE, APPRECIATE, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY RESPECT ME FOR MY STANCE, BELIEF, AND CONSISTENCY WHETER WE AGREE OR NOT.

MY ADVICE IS TO SEEK GOD FIRST, DISCOVER WHO YOU ARE IN HIM AND THEN JUST BE WHO YOU ARE.

LOVE IS !

2010-02-20T12:04:00.000-08:00

LET'S BE GRATEFUL FOR OUR LOVED ONES.

THESE MAY NOT NECESSARILY BE FAMILY BY BLOOD LINE, BUT NONETHELESS ARE LOVED BY US , FOR HOW THEY LOVE US.

LET'S LOVE ALL WE CAN, WHILE WE CAN!

THE DAY IS COMING WHEN EITHER THEY, OR US WILL BE GONE AND NO LONGER WILL BE ABLE TO EXPRESS OUR FEELINGS ONE TO ANOTHER.

THIS WILL BRING A GREATER VALUE, AND APPRECIATION TO OUR LIVES, ALONG WITH A BETTER QUALITY OF LIFE.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST, IT IS SURE TO PLEASE GOD.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:

LOVE IS, WHAT LOVE DOES !

HOW WILL YOU TRAVEL ?

2010-02-19T19:17:00.000-08:00

LIFE IS A COLLECTION OF JOURNEYS DOWN NUMEROUS PATHS THAT ALL COME
TOGETHER FORMING OUR DESTINY, AND BRINGING US TO OUR END.

THE WISE WILL TRAVEL WITH THE EXPERIENCED, SEASONED, AND SUPERIOR TRAVELER, AND MENTOR.

THEY WILL SETTLE FOR THEIR EQUALS AS TRAVEL MATES WHEN MENTORS AND SUPERIORS ARE NOT AVAILABLE.

IF BY CHANCE NEITHER CAN BE FOUND AS TRAVEL MATES, THE TRULY WISE WILL TRAVEL LIFE'S PATHS ALONE, RATHER THEN SETTLE FOR LESS, AND PARTNERING BENEATH THEMSELVES.

BRINGING OURSELVES DOWN FOR COMPANIES SAKE IS FLIRTING WITH FAILURE, AND SETTLING IS NEVER THE PATH TO SUCCESS.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:

BEING ALONE, BUT PROGRESSING TOWARDS GOD'S GOALS FOR US, BEATS HAVING COMPANY BUT BEING STATIC, OR BACKSLIDING.

VICTORY AT WHAT COST ?

2010-02-18T18:35:00.000-08:00

IF WE ALLOW OURSELVES TO ENGAGE IN A WAR OF WORDS, THE FIRST CASUALTY WILL USUALLY BE THE TRUTH.

IN OUR ATTEMPT TO BEST OUR OPPONENT, STRESS OUR POINTS, AND JUST PLAIN WIN, WE BECOME TEMPTED TO EMBELLISH, STRETCH THE TRUTH, OMIT FACTS AND FLAT OUT LIE.

THESE ARE THE REASONS WE SHOULD STRIVE TO LIVE PEACEABLY WITH ALL MEN,
PREFER OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS BEFORE OURSELVES, STUDY TO BE QUIET, AND BE AWARE OF EVERY IDLE WORD PASSING THROUGH OUR LIPS.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:

LET'S NOT SACRIFICE THE TRUTH, TO SIMPLY WIN SOME ARGUMENT, OR PROVE A POINT.

THIS IS GENERATED AND MOTIVATED BY PRIDE, AS WELL AS WRAPPED IN SIN.

WE MAY WIN THE WAR OF WORDS, BUT JEOPARDIZE OUR SOULS !

PERCEPTIONS, DECEPTION !!!!

2010-02-17T10:14:00.000-08:00

THE GLASS WE LOOK THROUGH TO SEE THE WORLD IS EITHER SOILED OR CLEANED BY OUR OWN CHARACTER.

IT IS OUR CHARACTER, OR LACK THERE OFF THAT CREATES OUR PERCEPTIONS.

THESE PERCEPTIONS LEFT TO DROWN IN IGNORANCE WILL BECOME OUR REALITIES, REGARDLESS OF HOW WARPED, OFF CENTER, TAINTED, AND UNREALISTIC THEY ARE.

WITHOUT GOD, AND THE HOLYGHOST IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO POSSESS THE CHARACTER NECESSARY TO SEE, AND LIVE LIFE THE WAY GOD INTENDS FOR US TOO.

WITH GODLY CHARACTER WE CAN HAVE HONOR WITHOUT PRIDE.

THOSE THAT ARE PRIDEFUL CANNOT HAVE GODLY CHARACTER, NOR LIVE HONORABLY.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:

MOST WILL NEVER TRULY BELIEVE HONOR EXIST UNTIL THEY THEMSELVES HAVE ACHIEVED IT, AND THIS DUE TO PERCEPTION.

WE WILL ALWAYS BE DECEIVED WHEN WE CAN'T PERCEIVE !

HERE COMES THE SUN (SON) !!

2010-02-16T14:16:00.000-08:00

Psalms 30:5 For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favor is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

I REALIZE MUCH HAS BEEN SAID IN THIS PSALM THAT IS GOOD NEWS.

NAMELY THAT GOD'S ANGER IS NOT LONG LASTING, AND THAT IF WE RECEIVE HIS FAVOR, WE ALSO RECEIVE LIFE.

TODAY I WILL FOCUS ON THE LATTER PORTION OF THE PSALM THAT IS NOT AS OBVIOUS AS THE AFOREMENTIONED.

PROPHETS ARE REFERRED TO AS SEER'S IN THE OLD TESTAMENT, THOUGH MOST BELIEVE THIS REFERS ONLY TO THEIR SEEING THE FUTURE.

IN REALITY IT ALSO IS IN REFERENCE TO THEIR SUPERNATURAL ABILITY TO ACCURATELY INTERPRET THE WORD OF GOD, PLAINLY AND CLEARLY DISPENSING IT IN A FASHION THAT WILL ILLUMINATE AND SIMPLIFY THE WORD OF GOD.

IN PLAIN TALK, PROPHETS CAN SEE THE MEANING, PURPOSE, AND SPIRIT BEHIND THE WORD OF GOD, THEREBY EARNING THE MONIKER,"SEER".

WHAT I "SEE" IN THE LATTER PORTION OF OUR SCRIPTURE REFERENCE IS THE FACT THAT IF GOD THROUGH THE PSALMIST STATES, "JOY COMES IN THE MORNING" WE MUST REALIZE HE IS SAYING MORNING WILL COME.

WE COMPLAIN ABOUT OUR TEST AND TRIALS, OUR DARK TIMES OR NIGHT PERIODS, AND WE SPEAK OF JOY COMING IN THE MORNING, YET WE COMPLAIN AS THOUGH MORNING IS NEVER TO COME.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:

ONCE WE REALIZE, THAT REGARDLESS OF THE LENGTH OF OUR NIGHTS, MORNING IS COMING, WE WILL BECOME LESS PRONE TO MUMBLING, GRUMBLING, AND COMPLAINING !

DURING OUR MIDNIGHT HOURS WE SHOULD NOT BE LOOKING AT THE MOON, BUT LOOKING FOR THE SUN (SON).

OUR GREATEST KILLER !!!!!

2010-02-15T17:07:00.000-08:00

Proverbs 11:14 Where no counsel is , the people fall: but in the multitude of counselors there is safety.

DON'T BE AFRAID TO SEEK THE COUNSEL OF OTHERS, IT JUST MAY SPARE US HEARTACHE, DISAPPOINTMENT, AND POSSIBLY SPARE OUR LIVE'S.

EVEN IN OUR BEST EFFORTS, USING THE MAXIMUM OF OUR INTELLECTUAL CAPABILITIES, AND AVAILABLE REFERENCES OUR LOVE OF SELF IS ALWAYS A THREAT TO CLOUD OUR JUDGEMENT.

NONE ARE MORE BIASED TOWARDS US, THEN US OURSELVES!

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:

THROUGH IT MAY SEEM CONTRADICTORY, THERE IS NO GREATER KILLER OF MEN , THEN SELF LOVE !!!!!

OUR GREATEST FOE !!!

2010-02-14T19:41:00.001-08:00

IF WE WERE TO EXAMINE THE HISTORY OF GREAT PEOPLE, BOTH IN THE BIBLE AND IN MODERN TIMES I BELIEVE WE WILL DISCOVER SOME COMMON DENOMINATORS PRESENT IN THE LIVES OF THEM ALL.

THAT BEING THAT THEY WERE ALL REJECTED, DEJECTED, OR NOT ACCEPTED AT SOME STAGE IN THEIR LIVE'S FOR THEIR VIEWS, COMMENTS, BACKGROUND OR SOME OTHER REASON, BUT THEY PERSEVERED.

WE WOULD ALSO DISCOVER THAT OUT OF ALL OF THEIR OPPONENTS, OBSTACLES, AND CHALLENGES, THAT THEY THEMSELVES WERE THEIR GREATEST OF ALL FOES.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONISHMENT:

BEFORE WE CAN EVER BE OF GENUINE BENEFIT TO OTHERS, WE MUST FIRST HELP OURSELVES, BY CONQUERING OUR SELF WILL, PRIDE OF LIFE, AND SINFUL DESIRES, LUST, AND ENTICEMENTS.

SATAN IS THE MAJOR CAPITALIZER OF OUR WEAKNESSES, BUT, SELF IS OUR GREATEST FOE.

THE MOUNTAIN MEN !

2010-02-13T21:15:00.001-08:00

Matthew 17:20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS THAT IT IS FAR EASIER TO CLIMB MOUNTAINS,THEN TO MOVE THEM.

CHRIST WASN'T EXPECTING US TO ORDER MOUNTAINS THAT HE CREATED AND PLACED TO MOVE.

WHAT HE WAS TELLING US, WAS IF WE COULD EVER COMPLETELY BELIEVE IN HIM, HIS STATUS AS GOD, AND HIS ABILITIES, THAT WE COULD THEN CONQUER OURSELVES.

MEANING OUR PRIDE OF LIFE, OUR STUBBORN WAYS, OUR OWN PRECONCEIVED NOTIONS OF HOW THINGS SHOULD BE, ETC..........

THAT ANY OTHER OBSTACLE, EVEN THOSE THAT APPEAR TO LOOM OVER US AS MOUNTAINS WOULD BE NO MATCH FOR US, AND THE SAME AS SIMPLY TELLING THEM TO GET OUT OF OUR WAY.

ANY MAN THAT CAN CONQUER SELF, CAN CONQUER ANYTHING, AND THE ONLY WAY
TO EVER ACCOMPLISH EVEN THE SLIGHTEST IOTA OF GENUINE FAITH, IS BY FIRST REMOVING OURSELVES FROM THE EQUATION.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:

TO EVEN POSSESS FAITH AS SMALL AS A MUSTARD SEED, WE MUST FIRST BE COMPLETELY VOID OF OURSELVES.

THEN OUR MOUNTAINS CAN CASUALLY BE TOLD TO MOVE FROM OUR PATHS.

THOUGH THEY MAY NOT LITERALLY MOVE, THE MAN IN CONTROL OF SELF, AND COMPLETELY CONFIDENT IN GOD TO DELIVER, REALIZES THE MOUNTAIN IS AS GOOD AS GONE ANYWAY.

OUR BIGGEST MOUNTAINS TO MOVE WILL ALWAYS BE US, WE ARE MOUNTAIN MEN!

WHAT PROBLEM IS THE PROBLEM

2010-02-11T14:27:00.000-08:00

THE REASON THE SAINTS AND CHURCH ARE IN SUCH DIRE STRAITS IS DUE TO THE LACK OF GENUINE DISCERNMENT.

IF GODLY DISCERNMENT WERE IN OPERATION, THOSE THAT PLACE PEOPLE IN PASTORAL POSITIONS WOULD DO SO BASED ON GODLY DIRECTION AND INSIGHT, NOT ON PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP.

THE FOLLOWERS OF THESE PASTOR'S WOULD ALSO NOT HAVE BEEN BAMBOOZLED INTO SITTING UNDER THEM HAD THEY PRAYED FOR DISCERNMENT.

IT HAS BEEN REVEALED TO ME BY THE LORD THAT THIS LACK OF DISCERNMENT IS THE DIRECT CAUSE OF THE CHURCH AND IT'S SAINTS NOT BEING IN THE PLACE THE LORD DESIRES THEY BE.

WHILE UNCALLED, UNANOINTED PASTORS BELIEVE THE PROBLEM TO BE THEIR LACK OF SEEING OR DISCERNING THE SOLUTIONS, THE ACTUAL PROBLEM IS THAT THEIR LACK OF DISCERNMENT HAS PREVENTED THEIR SEEING THE ACTUAL PROBLEMS.

I BELIEVE IT WHEN THESE PASTORS CLAIM TO PRAY OFTEN FOR GOD'S DIRECTION, BUT WHEN YOU CAN'T SEE WHAT TO PRAY FOR, HOW CAN YOU PRAY FOR THE RIGHT THING.

GENUINE PASTOR'S WILL BE AFTER GOD'S OWN HEART, THEREFORE THEY WOULD KNOW WHAT GOD DESIRES.

UNFORTUNATELY THIS POURS OVER INTO THE LAYMEN CIRCLES AS WELL.

THE FAILURE TO PURSUE GOD'S FACE AND WILL CAUSE THE SAINTS TO LACK THE SPIRITUALITY NECESSARY FOR THE DISCERNMENT THAT ACCOMPANIES RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD.

IN OTHER WORDS THE CHURCH AND IT'S SAINTS ARE WASTING DAYS, WEEKS, MONTHS, AND YEARS PRAYING AMISS.

WE FEEL SPIRITUAL BECAUSE WE PRAY A LOT, BUT WE'RE ONLY RELIGIOUS BECAUSE WE ARE ONLY GOING THROUGH ENDLESS EXERCISES OF FRUITILITY.

WAKE-UP PEOPLE, WE MUST KNOW WHAT TO PRAY FOR BEFORE WE CAN PRAY EFFECTIVELY.

WE CAN ONLY KNOW WHAT TO PRAY FOR WHEN WE HAVE THE MIND AND HEART OF GOD.

THE MIND AND HEART OF GOD CAN ONLY BE OBTAINED THROUGH GENUINE WORSHIP, PRAISE, AND RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD.

ALL OF WHICH WILL LEAD TO A DISCERNING THAT SURPASSES SIMPLE INSTINCT, KNOWLEDGE, GUESS WORK AND FEELINGS.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:

TODAY'S PASTOR, CHURCHES, AND SAINTS DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH DISCOVERING THE SOLUTIONS, THEY ACTUALLY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH SEEING THE PROBLEMS.

GOD SAYS LEARN TO DISCERN !

THEN WE'LL DISCOVER WHICH PROBLEM IS THE PROBLEM.

THE FORECAST !!

2010-02-10T15:01:00.000-08:00

INSPITE OF THE UP'S AND DOWNS, AND DARK, CLOUDY DAYS OF LIFE WE MUST REALIZE THAT WHEN WE PLACE OUR HOPE IN JESUS THERE IS ALWAYS A SILVER LINING.

PERHAPS NEVER TO BE SEEN, OR EVEN REALIZED IN THIS LIFE, WE MUST EXERCISE OUR FAITH TO BELIEVE THE SILVER LINING DOES ACTUALLY EXIST IN OUR ETERNITY.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONISHMENT:

ETERNITIES FORECAST FOR THE TRULY REBORN, RENEWED, BAPTIZED IN JESUS NAME, AND SPIRIT FILLED, SAVED CHRISTIAN IS BRIGHTER DAYS, ETERNAL LIGHT, AND PEACE, IN THE PRESENCE OF THE ALMIGHTY GOD, JESUS CHRIST !

WHY'D YOU DO IT

2010-02-09T14:31:00.000-08:00

THE REPERCUSSIONS OF OUR ACTIONS CAN BE FAR REACHING, AND IMPACT THE LIVE'S OF COUNTLESS OTHERS, SOME OF WHOM ARE INNOCENT.

IF WE COULD LEARN TO PLACE OTHERS WELL-BEING BEFORE OUR OWN, AND DO UNTO OTHERS, AS WE WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO US, WE WILL BE OFF TO A GOOD START, BUT ONLY A START.

AFTER WE HAVE DONE THE AFOREMENTIONED, WE MUST THEN EXAMINE THE GENUINE MOTIVES BEHIND THE THINGS WE DO DO, THAT INVOLVE AND/OR EFFECT OTHERS.

LIFE IS SIMPLY TO SHORT TO ENGAGE IN COWARDLY,PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE ACTIONS
IN AN ATTEMPT TO DRIVE OUR POINTS HOME TO OTHERS, WHILE FEIGNING TO BE SAVED.

EVEN IF WE ARE ABLE TO FOOL THE ENTIRE WORLD, WE WILL NEVER FOOL GOD THAT KNEW ALL ALONG THAT WE WERE ATTEMPTING TO ASSIST HIM IN DOING HIS JOB.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:

IN ALL THAT WE DO, EXAMINE OUR MOTIVES.

NO DO OVERS !

2010-02-08T21:15:00.000-08:00

WE'D BETTER TAKE TODAY TO LOVE LIKE THERE IS NO TOMORROW, BECAUSE THERE JUST MAY NOT BE ONE FOR US, OR THE ONE WE SHOULD HAVE, AND COULD HAVE LOVED ON TODAY.

SAYING SORRY MEANS NOTHING TO THOSE THAT HAVE PASSED ON, AS FEELING SORRY DOES NOTHING FOR US.

WE CAN BETTER COPE WITH OUR LOSSES, WHEN THEY AREN'T ACCOMPANIED WITH REGRETS.

LET'S REPENT FOR OURSELVES, FORGIVE OTHERS, AND LOVE ALL, THAT OUR REMAINING DAYS NOT BE WASTED OR POISONED BY SA TANS GARBAGE.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONISHMENT:

ONE ALL IS SAID AND DONE IN LIFE, AND WE OR OUR LOVED ONES HAVE PASSED ON THERE WILL BE NO DO OVERS, SO WE MUST GET THIS RIGHT THE FIRST TIME.

WHAT ARE WE DOING ?

2010-02-07T17:59:00.000-08:00

I REALIZE THAT MY WORDS HAVE BEEN RATHER BRIEF OF LATE, THIS IS DUE TO MY PONDERING OF LIFE, AND WHAT EXACTLY IS EXPECTED OF US FROM LIFE, AND WHAT DO WE EXPECT FROM LIFE ?

OBVIOUSLY I AM NOT THROUGH WITH THE WEIGHING OF THESE QUESTIONS, BUT REST ASSURED I AM ON THE JOB, AND I WILL SHARE WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE RELEVANT ONCE IT ARRIVES.

PERHAPS WE SHOULD ALL BECOME ENGAGED IN THIS PRACTICE, THAT WE WOULDN'T ENDURE, OR ENJOY (DEPENDING ON YOUR PERSPECTIVE, AND STATE OF MIND) AN ENTIRE LIFETIME PURSUING THE WRONG THINGS, ONLY TO BE LOST IN THE END.

I HAVE GROWN TIRE OF AIMLESS LIVING, AND VAIN PURSUITS.

MY DESIRE IS TO HAVE ALL THAT I DO BE SIGNIFICANT, AND OF BENEFIT TO MANKIND, AS WELL AS MYSELF.

I AM WHOLLY CONVINCED THAT TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE, AND THAT I WILL BE CALLED ON GOD'S CARPET MORE SOONER THAN LATER, AND I AM CONCERNED TO SAY THE LEAST.

ARE YOU ?

I BELIEVE YOU SHOULD BE !

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:

WHAT ARE WE DOING TODAY, TO ENSURE OUR TOMORROW (ETERNITY) WILL BE SPENT IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD, AND NOT ETERNALLY BANISHED, AND SEPARATED BY A GULF FROM HIM FOREVER ?

WHAT ARE WE DOING ?

WHAT WILL I HEAR ?

2010-02-06T17:39:00.000-08:00

I WILL ASK A QUESTION OF US ALL TODAY, MYSELF INCLUDED.

DO WE GENUINELY BELIEVE GOD IS PLEASED WITH ALL THAT WE DO ?

IF NOT WHY ?

WHAT, IF ANYTHING DO WE PLAN ON DOING ABOUT IT ?

NOW THAT WE'VE BOUGHT THESE DEFICIENCIES TO THE LIGHT LET'S GO BEFORE THE LORD, BROKEN AND REPENTANT, SEEKING TO GET OUR LIVE'S RIGHT WHILE WE CAN.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:

I CAN'T SPEAK FOR YOU, BUT I WOULD SOMEDAY LIKE TO HEAR GOD SAY TO ME
"WELL DONE, GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT "!

THE INEVITABLE CRASH

2010-02-05T22:24:00.001-08:00

I LIKEN ILL EQUIPPED PASTORS, TO FLYING A PLANE WITHOUT PILOT TRAINING.

BOTH GO FASTER, AND FURTHER THEN THEY REALIZE, AND EVENTUALLY BOTH WILL CRASH AND BURN, TAKING MANY LIVE'S WITH THEM.

WITHOUT THE KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED AFTER YEARS OF PROPER TRAINING, ALONG WITH THE GENUINE GIFTING, AND CALLING THESE PEOPLE MISLEAD, AND LEAD TO THE GRAVE MANY UNASSUMING VICTIMS THAT BELIEVED THEY WERE IN THE RELIABLE HANDS OF COMPETENT PROFESSIONALS.

THIS IS UNFORTUNATE FOR THE VICTIMS, BUT I BELIEVE IT DOUBLY UNFORTUNATE FOR THE PERPETRATOR'S OF SUCH FRAUDS.

GOD WILL LIKELY REQUIRE THE BLOOD OF THEIR VICTIMS AT THEIR HANDS.

PASTORS NEED TO LEARN THE WORD, AND THE SPIRIT BEHIND IT NOT ONLY FOR THE SOULS OF PARISHIONERS, BUT FOR THEIR OWN AS WELL.

I'VE WITNESSED TO MANY WISHY WASHY, UNSTABLE ON THE WORD, FLIP FLOPPING, UNSURE, NON-STANDARD HAVING SO-CALLED PASTORS CONFUSE, MISLEAD, AND
DAMAGE GOD'S CHURCH, AND PEOPLE WITH THEIR CHARADE.

RECKONING DAY IS COMING FOR THESE PASTORS, AND I'M SURE IT WILL BE HERE SOONER THEN THEY'D LIKE.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:

WE DON'T HAVE TO BE BAMBOOZLED, FOOLED, OR LOST BY FOLLOWING THE SENSELESS RAMBLINGS OF SOME CHARLATAN PASTOR OF DISASTER.

ALL WE NEED DO IS LEARN THE WORD, THE SPIRIT OF THE WORD, AND THE ORIGIN OF THE WORD FOR OURSELVES AND STAND UPON WHAT WE KNOW FOR OURSELVES.

IN CONCLUSION, STOP FOLLOWING TITLES, MEN, AND COMFORT ZONES, AND RETURN TO FOLLOWING JESUS IF WE'VE LEFT THAT, OR BEGIN FOLLOWING HIM IF WE NEVER STARTED.

WE'D BETTER KNOW WHAT WE KNOW, AVOIDING FLIGHTS WITHOUT PILOTS, AND PASTOR OF DISASTER TO AVOID THE INEVITABLE CRASH

PRAY DAY !

2010-02-04T19:07:00.000-08:00

1Thessalonians 5:17 Pray without ceasing.

COMMON SENSE SHOULD TELL US THAT WE MUST OBVIOUSLY DO OTHER THINGS IN LIFE THEN PRAY, JUST TO LIVE.

SO THEN WHY WOULD PAUL INSTRUCT US TO PRAY WITHOUT CEASING ?

WAS THIS A PRACTICAL JOKE, OR A MISPRINT ?

GOD FORBID !

PAUL KNEW THAT WHEN WE GENUINELY SEEK GOD'S FACE, AND PURSUE HIM WITH ALL WE HAVE, WE WILL ADOPT A ATTITUDE OF PRAYER DUE TO OUR CONSISTENT COMMUNICATION WITH THE LORD.

WE MUST REALIZE THAT PRAYER IS NOT ONLY ACCOMPLISHED ON OUR KNEES, WITH OUR EYES CLOSED, AND HANDS CLASPED PIOUSLY BEFORE US.

AS WE SPEW WHAT WE BELIEVE TO BE HOLY, AND SANCTIMONIOUS PHRASES DIRECTED AT A GOD THAT REALLY ONLY WANTS TO HEAR FROM US, AND WE CALL IT PRAYING.

UNFORTUNATELY WE GENERALLY WASTE A GREAT DEAL OF TIME IN OUR CHRISTIAN WALK WITH THESE EXERCISES BEFORE WE LEARN THAT EFFECTIVE PRAYER IS SIMPLY GENUINELY, SINCERE COMMUNICATIONS WITH OUR FATHER, THE ALMIGHTY GOD.

WHEN OUR MINDS ARE RENEWED, THEY WILL BE FOCUSED ON THE LORD AT ALL TIME, CAUSING US TO CONSTANTLY BE IN COMMUNICATION, OR PRAYER WITH THE LORD.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:

PRAYING WITHOUT CEASING IS SIMPLY THINKING ON , AND COMMUNICATING WITH GOD ALL DAY, EVERYDAY.

LOVE

2010-02-03T20:11:00.000-08:00

LOVE IS NOT CHEAP, IT WILL COST YOU YOUR PRIDE.

HOW CAN WE EVER TRULY LOVE ANOTHER AS WE SHOULD, IF WE ARE PREOCCUPIED WITH THE LOVE OF OURSELVES.

THE BIGGEST OBSTACLE IN THE LOVING OF OTHERS IS SELF.

WE CAN USUALLY GET AROUND OTHERS, BUT WE CONSTANTLY STAY IN OUR WAY.

OF COURSE IF WE DO EVER LEARN TO BECOME HUMBLE ENOUGH TO ALLOW OTHERS WELL-BEING, HAPPINESS, PEACE OF MIND, AND WHOLESOME DESIRES TO SUPERSEDE OURS, THE REWARDS ARE FAR MORE THEN THE COST.

THE REWARD OF BEING GENUINELY LOVED IN RETURN IS GREATER THEN ANYTHING WE COULD EVER PURCHASE.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:

WE KNOW THAT GOD GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON THAT WE COULD GAIN SALVATION, BUT HOW MANY OF US REALIZE GOD HAS SWALLOWED EVERY IOTA OF PRIDE IN ORDER TO DEAL WITH THE LIKES OF US.

SHOULDN'T WE RECIPROCATE WITH GENUINE LOVE FOR HIM.

OH YEAH, WE SHOULD ALSO BEGIN LOVING THOSE IN OUR LIVE'S FOR THEM, AND NOT FOR US !

WE MUST FIRST MAKE IT

2010-02-02T17:05:00.000-08:00

WE WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO COUNT OR EVEN REALIZE THE NUMBER OF TIMES THE LORD HAS SAVED US FROM DANGERS WE HAVE BEEN AWARE OF, AND ESPECIALLY NOT AWARE OF.

WITH THIS IN MIND WE SHOULD ALWAYS KEEP A PRAISE ON OUR LIPS FOR THE LORD AND HIS GOODNESS TOWARDS US.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:

IT WILL NOT BE UNTIL WE ARRIVE IN HEAVEN THAT WE WILL GAIN A FULL APPRECIATION OF WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN OUR LIFE WITHOUT THE INTERVENTION OF THE LORD.

WE MUST FIRST MAKE IT TO HEAVEN THOUGH.

PEACE

2010-02-01T23:55:00.000-08:00

PEACE IN LIFE IS PRICELESS.

PEACE OF MIND IS PRICELESS.

PEACE LIKE THIS IS ONLY POSSIBLE BY THE RENEWAL OF OUR MIND, IN AND BY
CHRIST JESUS, AND HIS WORD.

THAT PEACE SURPASSES ALL OF MAN'S UNDERSTANDING AND SHOULD BE SOUGHT BY US AT ALL COST.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:

LET'S HOLD ON TO THE PIECE OF MIND WE SO FREELY ARE WILLING TO GIVE THOSE THAT UPSET US, AND USE IT TO SEEK THE LORD'S FACE, AND HIS PEACE.

MASTER FRIENDSHIIP

2010-01-31T18:20:00.000-08:00

Proverbs 18:24 A man that hath friends must show himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.

I HAVE BEEN BLESSED TO HAVE A GROUP OF FRIENDS ALL OF WHOM REFER TO ME AS THEIR BROTHER, BECAUSE THEY CONSIDER ME TO BE THEIR BEST FRIEND.

IT HAS BEEN SAID THAT IF A PERSON IS ABLE TO HAVE ONE GENUINE FRIEND IN A LIFETIME THAT THEY ARE TRULY BLESSED.

HOW BLESSED AM I TO HAVE (4) FRIENDS THAT CALL ME BROTHER AND BEST FRIEND ?

MY DAUGHTERS REFER TO THEM AS UNCLE, THEIR FAMILIES RECEIVE ME AS FAMILY, CALLING ME UNCLE, AND THEIR LIVING PARENTS REFER TO ME AS A SON.

THE NEWEST OF THESE RELATIONSHIPS IS 26 YEARS LONG, WITH THE OTHERS SPANNING MORE THEN 35 PLUS YEARS, AND BY THE GRACE OF GOD WILL CONTINUE THROUGHOUT OUR LIFETIME.

I WOULD NOT HAVE WANTED TO GO THROUGH MY LIFE WITHOUT THESE FELLOWS, AND AS VALUABLE AND GOOD AS THESE RELATIONSHIPS HAVE BEEN TO ME, THE BEST FRIEND I'VE EVER HAD HAS BEEN JESUS.

TRUE TO HIS WORD AS ALWAYS, JESUS HAS BEEN CLOSER TO ME THEN EVEN A BROTHER.

HE KNOWS MY THOUGHTS, EMOTIONS, HURTS, DREAMS, INSECURITIES, PAINS, WEAKNESSES, AND STRENGTHS, BUT HAS NEVER USED THEM AGAINST ME, OR TOLD THEM TO ANYONE.

I WASN'T SIMPLY BLESSED WITH SUCH NATURAL FRIENDSHIPS DUE TO MY LOOKS, BUT IT REQUIRED GREAT EFFORT ON MY PART, AND THE PART OF MY FRIENDS.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:

IF WE ARE EVER TO ENJOY GENUINE RELATIONSHIP, AND EVEN FRIENDSHIP WITH THE LORD LIKE ABRAHAM WE MUST SHOW OURSELVES FRIENDLY AS WE DO IN THE NATURAL RELATIONSHIPS.

GAIN A FRIEND THAT WILL BE CLOSER THEN A BROTHER, AND BE FRIENDLY WITH THE MASTER.

AFTER DEATH

2010-01-30T18:31:00.000-08:00

WE NEVER KNOW WHEN OUR TIME ON EARTH WILL BE OVER, YET MOST OF US TAKE A CAVALIER WALTZ THROUGH LIFE AS THOUGH WE COULD NEVER DIE THE VERY NEXT SECOND.

I'M OFTEN TORN BETWEEN BEING EXTREMELY AWARE OF MY MORTALITY, AND JUST HOW NEAR DEATH IS.

I CAN THEN BE JUST AS UNAWARE OF WHEN I AM LIVING AS THOUGH I WILL NEVER DIE.

LIVING NOR DYING ARE THEMSELVES THE MAJOR ISSUES AT HAND, WHAT IS MAJOR IS THE WAY WE LIVE DETERMINES IF WE ARE READY TO DIE.

THERE ARE TIMES I AM TO TIRED TO LIVE LIFE AS I KNOW IT, BUT NOT REALLY STRONG ENOUGH TO WELCOME DEATH.

SOME ARE SO BOLD AS TO SAY THEY WELCOME DEATH BECAUSE TO BE ABSENT FROM THIS BODY IS TO BE PRESENT WITH THE LORD.

THOUGH THAT IS TRUE, WHAT IS OUR GUARANTEE THAT WE HAVE ATTAINED SUCH STATUS ?

ARE WE BASING THIS ON OUR OWN BIASED OPINION OF OUR CHRISTIAN WALK, OR IS IT AN ACCURATE ASSESSMENT BASED ON GOD'S WORD, PRECEPT, MANDATES, AND PRINCIPLES.

SATAN WILL LURE US TO WELCOME A DEATH WE ARE NOT PREPARED FOR BY FILLING US WITH PRIDE AND A UNDESERVED SENSE OF SECURITY THAT LULLS US TO COMPLACENCY.

THE COMPLACENCY CAUSES US TO CEASE FROM PURSUING GOD, AND PREPARING AS WE SHOULD FOR THE INEVITABLE DEATH THAT IS IMPENDING.

WHEN WE WAKE-UP ? WHEN WILL WE LEARN TO STOP BEING COMPLACENT IN OUR GOD WALK, AND FINALLY BEGIN TO RUN FOR OUR LIVE'S ?

DO WE TRULY BELIEVE OURSELVES READY TO CROSS THAT PLAIN INTO ETERNITY ?

HAVE WE BAMBOOZLED OURSELVES INTO A PRIDEFUL SENSE OF SECURITY.

REMEMBER FOREVER MEANS, JUST WHAT IT SAYS, F-O-R-E-V-E-R !!

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:

LET'S NOT KID OURSELVES WITH THE THEORY THAT WE ARE JUDGED ONCE AND FOR ALL WHEN WE BECOME BAPTIZED IN JESUS' NAME AND FILLED WITH THE HOLYGHOST.

GOD HAS A STANDARD FOR SAVED LIVING, AND ANYTHING WITH A STANDARD HAS SUCH FOR THE PURPOSE OF GAGING, OR MORE COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS JUDGING.

THEREFORE LIVE LIKE YOU DESIRE, BUT REALIZE, AND PREPARE TO BE JUDGED EVEN AFTER LIFE, AND THERE WILL BE NO OPPORTUNITY TO CORRECT ANY UNFAVORABLE JUDGEMENTS AFTER DEATH.

Hebrews 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

HANGING ON !

2010-01-29T17:19:00.000-08:00

Psalms 27:14 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.

JUST WHEN WE ARE CONVINCED WE ARE ON OUR OWN, AND KNOW ONE, INCLUDING GOD REALLY CARES WHAT HAPPENS TO US WE GET JUST THE PUSH WE NEED.

IT COULD BE A WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT FROM A FRIEND OR STRANGER.

MAYBE IT WILL BE SOMETHING WE SEE ON T.V. OR HEAR ON THE RADIO.

PERHAPS JUST A THOUGHT, MEMORY, OR SCRIPTURE FROM OUR PAST.

WHATEVER IT IS, IF WE JUST AREN'T SO HASTY TO THROW IN THE TOWEL, REGARDLESS OF THE TIMES LIFE KICKS US IN THE TEETH, WE JUST MAY MAKE IT ALL THE WAY TO THE END IN VICTORY.

I AM SPEAKING TO YOU, BUT IT'S COMING THROUGH ME AND WHERE I'VE BEEN, AND EVEN WHERE I AM IN LIFE SOMETIMES PRESENTLY.

MAYBE YOU ARE A VICTORIOUS SPIRITUAL GIANT, THAT DWELLS ON THE MOUNTAIN TOP AT ALL TIMES, AND THAT'S FINE, THOUGH UNBELIEVABLE.

I ON THE OTHER HAND SEEM TO ONLY HAVE BEEN CLIMBING MY MOUNTAINS, YET TO EVEN SEE THE TOP.

METAPHORICALLY MY HANDS ARE CRAGGLED, CRACKED AND BLEEDING.

THE AIR IS THIN, AND MY BREATHING SHALLOW AND DIFFICULT.

MY BODY IS BATTERED, BRUISED, SORE, AND FATIGUED FROM NUMEROUS FALLS AND EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIMES HANGING FROM CLIFFS NOT KNOWING WHERE TO NEXT PLACE MY HAND, OR FOOT.

THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS, I HAVE LOOKED BEHIND ME ALL THE WAY BACK DOWN THE MOUNTAIN AND ASKED MYSELF HOW'D I GET THERE, AND WHY DID I EVER START THIS CLIMB.

THEN I LOOK AHEAD AND REALIZE I CAN'T EVEN SEE THE PEAK DUE TO THE CLOUDS, NOW WHAT DO I DO.

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN THERE ?

OF COURSE THE SUPERMEN SAINTS HAVEN'T, BUT AM I THE ONLY CLARK KENT TYPE LEFT, OR JUST THE ONLY ONE SAVED ENOUGH TO ADMIT BEING FRUSTRATED, TIRED, AND CLOSE TO THROWING UP MY HANDS IN DISGUST ?

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:

IF WE NEVER REACH THE TOP OF OUR MOUNTAINS, LET'S STAY ON THEM UNTIL GOD SENDS THE SEARCH AND RESCUE TEAM OUT TO RECOVER, AND DELIVER US TO HIS FEET.

LET'S STAY ON OUR MOUNTAINS, AND LET'S WAIT ON THE LORD !

HANG ON TILL THE END !

WATCH YOUR MOUTH (PART IV)

2010-01-28T14:37:00.000-08:00

WE NEED TO LIMIT OUR WORDS TO THE TRUTH, AND ON AN AS NEEDED BASIS.

THE MORE WE SPEAK, THE MORE WE ARE TEMPTED TO IMPRESS THAT WE AGREE, THAT WE ARE KNOWLEDGEABLE, THAT WE ARE CHARMING ETC... WHICH INCREASES OUR LIKELIHOOD TO LIE.

MOST OF US PROBABLY SPEAK MORE THEN WE NEED TO, AND ABOUT MORE THEN WE GENUINELY KNOW.

IF WE ARE EVER TO LIVE GOD PLEASING LIVE'S WE WILL NEED TO GUARD AGAINST OUR MOUTH'S AND TONGUES SABOTAGING OUR PLANS ON SEEING THE LORD IN PEACE.

THEIR IS KNOW ONE ON EARTH WE CAN DECIDE TO SAY ANYTHING WE WANT TOO REGARDLESS OF THEIR, OR OUR SUPPOSED POSITIONS IN LIFE.

GRANTED THERE WILL COME TIMES WE WILL NEED TO SAY DIFFICULT, AND UNPOPULAR THINGS AT TIMES, ESPECIALLY IF WE BARE MANTLES SUCH AS PROPHET, PASTOR, PARENTS, FRIENDS.

WHEN THESE TIMES DO APPEAR WE SHOULD NEVER DO SO IN A CAVALIER, CALLOUS, OR GLEEFUL FASHION.

WORDS ARE LIKE GUNS, AND NOT TO BE PLAYED WITH, MISHANDLED, OR PLACED IN THE HANDS OF AMATEURS.

WORDS UNLIKE GUNS ARE NEVER UNLOADED.

THEY ARE ALWAYS LOADED AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS AND EVEN DEADLY.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:

LET'S BE CAREFUL WHERE AND HOW WE POINT OUR WORDS, AND DEFINITELY WATCH OUR MOUTHS.

WATCH YOUR MOUTH (PART III)

2010-01-27T14:29:00.000-08:00

James 3:8 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.

WE CAN SEE FROM THIS SCRIPTURE THAT OUR MOUTHS ARE INNATELY UNTAMED, EVIL, AND FULL OF POISON.

THOUGH IT STATES TONGUE THE MOUTH IS BEING IMPLIED AS WELL.

WHAT ARE WE TO DO WITH SUCH A VILE BODY MEMBER ?

THANKS TO ADAM WE ARE ALL BORN IN SIN, BUT JUST AS THE FALLEN ANGELS HAD SOME THAT WERE WORSE THEN OTHERS, SO ARE CERTAIN PARTS OF OUR BODY OBVIOUSLY WORSE THEN OTHER PARTS.

GOD'S WORD IS TRUE, THEREFORE OUR TONGUES ARE UNTAMED, JUST AS THE WORD INFORMS US THAT THE HEART IS DECEITFUL AND DESPERATELY WICKED.

THE ONLY WAY WE WILL EVER BE ABLE TO WATCH OUR MOUTHS IN THIS SITUATION IS BY TAMING OUR TONGUES.

THE ONLY WAY TO POSSESS TAMED TONGUES IS THROUGH THE RENEWING OR OUR MINDS, THE DISCIPLINING OF OUR LIVE'S BY READING, LEARNING, AND LIVING THE WORD OF GOD.

WITHOUT THESE MEASURES WE WILL EVER HAVE AN UNTAMED TONGUE, BEING UNRULY AND SPEWING POISON TOWARDS OTHERS.

LET'S ALSO TAKE NOTICE THAT JAMES STATES "NO MAN CAN TAME", BUT WHAT MAN CAN'T DO, GOD CAN !

WE MUST NOT ALLOW OUR MOUTHS TO CAUSE US TO MISS HEAVEN, LANDING US IN HELL DUE TO OUR FAILING TO CONTROL OUR TONGUES, AND MOUTHS.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:

WHEN OUR UNRULY TONGUES ARE ALLOWED TO STAY WITH US WE WILL FIND OURSELVES SPEAKING OUT OF PLACE, OUT OF TURN, FULL OF POISONOUS WORDS, AND SPITTING VENOM.

IF WE EVER DESIRE TO BE A WITNESS FOR THE LORD WE WILL DEFINITELY NEED TO LOSE OUR POISONOUS TONGUES, AND WATCH OUR MOUTHS.

WATCH YOUR MOUTH (PART II)

2010-01-26T19:26:00.000-08:00

Ecclesiastes 5:5 Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.

IN CONTINUING WITH THE "WATCH YOUR MOUTH" THEME I WOULD LIKE TO TOUCH UPON A VERY COMMON PROBLEM.

I HAVE HEARD WITH MY OWN EARS ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, SAINTS CASUALLY, AND CARELESSLY MAKING VOWS TO ONE ANOTHER FOR NO APPARENT REASON OTHER THEN IGNORANCE.

MOST OF THE TIMES THAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS, THERE APPEARS TO BE NO APPARENT REASON FOR THE NEED OF A VOW SINCE THE CONVERSATIONS WEREN'T EVEN OF A WEIGHTY NATURE.

CHRISTIANS FOR EXAMPLE ARE MAKING STATEMENTS LIKE:" I PROMISE YOU, IT WILL BE THE BEST MOVIE YOU'LL EVER SEE" !

WHAT A FOOLISH, TRIVIAL WAY TO SPEAK IDLE WORDS, AS WELL AS TO SPEAK VOWS INTO EXISTENCE THAT THEY LITERALLY HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE OUTCOME.

BOTH OF WHICH THEY WILL BE REQUIRED TO GIVE AN ACCOUNT FOR AS WELL AS REAP FOR.

IF I AM NOT MISTAKEN I MAY HAVE TOUCHED UPON SIMILAR MATERIAL IN THE PAST.

OBVIOUSLY GOD BELIEVES THIS IS A TOPIC WORTHY OF REITERATION, AND REINFORCEMENT.

WORDS ARE NOT TO BE TAKEN LIGHTLY, NOT WHEN SPOKEN IN OUR LIVE'S, OR OUR DIRECTION, AND ESPECIALLY WHEN COMING OUT OF OUR MOUTH'S.

YOU DO REALIZE WE HOLD THE POWER OF LIFE AND DEATH IN OUR WORDS, THOUGH THAT WILL BE AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT ENTRY ON A ENTIRELY DIFFERENT DAY.

IN CLOSING, BE GRATEFUL THAT THE LORD HAS ORDAINED AND DISPATCHED ME TO REVEAL THE CLEAR UNADULTERATED WORD IN THESE LAST DAYS.

IN DOING SO THE LORD HAS ALLOWED US TO BE APART OF HIS LAST DAYS JUDGEMENT AT HIS HOUSE, WHICH SHOULD WE HEED, WILL EVENTUALLY LEAD US TO, AND INTO THE PROMISED LAND.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:

LET'S ALL STOP MAKING PROMISES AND SIMPLY LIVE SUCH BEYOND REPROACH LIVE'S THAT OUR WORD WILL CARRY ENOUGH WEIGHT TO BE ACCEPTED AT FACE VALUE.

INDIVIDUALS THAT LIVE UPSTANDING LIVE'S NEVER NEED ATTEMPT TO VALIDATE THEIR WORDS WITH A VOW, BECAUSE THEIR LIFESTYLES SEAL THE DEAL WITH RIGHTEOUSNESS.

SO LIVE THE LIFE, REFRAIN FROM THE VOW, AND "WATCH YOUR MOUTH" !!

WATCH YOUR MOUTH !!

2010-01-25T17:37:00.000-08:00

Jude 1:9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.

I HEARD APPROXIMATELY 3 MINUTES OF A MESSAGE TONIGHT BEFORE I'D HEARD ENOUGH TO REALIZE I WAS LISTENING TO A NOVICE.

PASTORS WITH INSECURITIES CAN SIT IN THE AUDIENCE ALLOWING PREACHING THAT IS NON-INTIMIDATING, OR THREATENING TO THEIR SHALLOW DIATRIBES THEY REFER TO AS MESSAGES.

I WITNESSED THIS INDIVIDUAL REFER TO SATAN AS "HIS BIG OLE UGLY TOOTHLESS SELF".

THIS THEN BECAME MY MOTIVATION FOR TODAYS ENTRY.

STATEMENTS OF THIS NATURE REVEAL SEVERAL THINGS IN A SPEAKER.

#1.- THEIR LIMITED KNOWLEDGE OF THE WORD.

#2.- THEIR DESIRE TO ENTERTAIN AND BE AMUSING, INSTEAD OF STRAIGHT TO THE POINT AND ACCURATE.

#3.- THEIR HYPOCRITICAL STANCE WHEN SPEAKING OF SATAN'S DESIRE TO BE HEARD, SEEN, AND ELEVATED, WHEN THEY SEEK THE SAME WHEN DELIVER ERRONEOUS MESSAGES OF THIS NATURE IN THEIR EFFORT TO BE SEEN, ENTERTAIN, AND LAUDED AS SPECIAL.

#4.- THEIR HAVING NOT PREPARED THEMSELVES, SO THEY ARE NOT APPROVED BY WHO COUNTS, AND THAT'S GOD.

DID JESUS' OWN BROTHER NOT TELL US IN THE SCRIPTURE TEXT THAT EVEN AN ARCHANGEL WON'T MAKE RAILING ACCUSATIONS AGAINST SATAN ?

WHAT ALLOWS FOR SOME WEAK, MERE MORTAL, SO CALLED PREACHER TO DO AND SAY WHAT EVEN A LEADER OF LEGIONS OF ANGELS WON'T SAY ?

WE MUST ALSO REALIZE THAT MICHEAL IS NOT JUST SOME ANGEL, HE IS AN ARCH ANGEL, AND HE IS THE ANGEL OF WAR.

I COULD ONLY SHAKE MY HEAD IN DISGUST AFTER HEARING THE COMMENT MADE BY THE SPEAKER AND I LEFT.

NOTICE I CONTINUALLY REFER TO THIS INDIVIDUAL AS A SPEAKER AND NOT A PREACHER.

TITLES ARE FAR TO FREELY HANDED OUT, AND MY REMARKS ARE NO RAILING ACCUSATION AGAINST THEM, BUT IT IS THE TRUTH BY THEIR OWN PROOF.

THIS WILL MORE THEN LIKELY LEAD TO A SERIES OF LESSONS BUT I'LL WAIT AND SEE HOW GOD LEADS.

I ALREADY KNOW THIS TOPIC OF MOUTH WATCHING NEEDS TO TAUGHT AND PRACTICED THROUGHOUT THE CHURCH DAILY.

AS I WALKED OUT OF THE CHURCH IT DAWNED ON ME THAT SATAN COULD HAVE KILLED THIS INDIVIDUAL WHILE THEY STOOD IN THE PULPIT.

THIS PERSON WAS TO CAUGHT UP IN THEMSELVES TO REALIZE IT BECAUSE PRIDE HAS BLINDED THEM, AS THEY SUPPOSEDLY TAUGHT ON SATAN'S PRIDE.

THAT IS HOW SHREWED SATAN, AND PRIDE IS.

HE WILL ALLOW US TO BELIEVE WE ARE TEACHING AGAINST PRIDE WHILE WE WALLOW IN OUR OWN.

GOD MUST BE SICK OF THE CHURCH, BECAUSE I KNOW I AM.

THERE'S IS ABSOLUTELY TO MUCH MAN, AND ME, ME, ME IN GOD'S HOUSE.

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO STUDY TO SHOW THY SELF APPROVED ?

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:

IS REAL SIMPLE AND STRAIGHT TO THE POINT " WATCH YOUR MOUTH" !!!!!!!!!

ANOTHER, NO MATTER WHAT !!

2010-01-24T14:16:00.000-08:00

James 4:8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.

IN AN EFFORT TO KEEP THIS BRIEF I WILL BE DIRECT, AND VOID OF FANFARE.

IF WE WANT GOD TO BE CLOSE TO US, WE ARE INSTRUCTED TO MAKE OURSELVES GET CLOSE TO HIM.

WE MUSTN'T OVERLOOK THE FACT THAT WE ALSO WILL NEED TO DO SOME VERY DIFFICULT SELF-EXAMINATION.

DIFFICULT BECAUSE WE NEED CLEAN OUR HANDS WHICH IS PROBABLY THE SIMPLEST OF THE TASK.

THIS CAN BE DONE BY NOT PLACING OUR HANDS IN THE WRONG PLACES, OR ASSIGNING THEM TO THE WRONG TASK.

PURIFYING OUR HEARTS THOUGH WILL REQUIRE A CONSIDERABLE BIT OF WORK FAR BEYOND OUR OWN MORTAL CAPABILITIES.

REGARDLESS OF HOW GOOD OR HOLY WE BELIEVE OURSELVES TO BE, PURIFYING OUR HEARTS WILL BE COSTLY, REVEALING AND PAINFUL.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST, FOR A DOUBLE MINDED PERSON TO BECOME OF ONE MIND IS IN ITSELF A MIRACLE OF SORTS.

HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHICH OF THE DOUBLE MIND TO KEEP, OR IS EVEN THE RIGHT SIDE ?

BEING A TRUE CHILD OF GOD IS A LOT MORE THEN ATTENDING CHURCH, SINGING SONGS, GIVING MONEY, AND LOOKING, SOUNDING, AND ACTING LIKE A CHRISTIAN.

THIS WAY REQUIRES GENUINE CHANGE, TRUE COMMITMENT, SINCERE SURRENDER FAITH, AND DETERMINATION THAT SURPASSES ALL TEST, TRIALS AND OBSTACLES.

WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD OF BEING A CHILD OF GOD.

A LOT OF WORK, A LOT OF SACRIFICE AND SELF-EXAMINATION, A LOT OF CHANGE, A LOT OF DISCIPLINE AND SELF-DENIAL, A LOT OF MORE THEN WE ARE ABLE TO GIVE OR DO ON OUR OWN, OR BY OUR OWN MIGHT, STRENGTH, OR ABILITY.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:

THERE IS NO SHORT WAY TO EXPLAIN WHAT IS REQUIRED TO BE SAVED, NOR ARE THERE ANY SHORTCUTS TO HEAVEN.

IT'S TIME TO ROLL UP OUR SLEEVES, GET CLOSE TO GOD,CLEAN OUR HANDS,GET RID OF OUR WORLDLY HEART, PURIFYING OUR HEARTS BY GOD'S WORD, AND GET A MADE UP MIND TO FOLLOW GOD NO MATTER WHAT.

VALIDATING THE HARM

2010-01-23T21:01:00.001-08:00

Psalms 105:15 Saying , Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.

IF YOU HAVE BEEN IN CHURCH FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME YOU HAVE PROBABLY HEARD SOME PASTOR ATTEMPT TO USE THIS PASSAGE OF SCRIPTURE TO PROTECT THEMSELVES FROM THE CRITIQUE OF PARISHIONERS AND OTHERS.

THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT ONCE THEY RESULT TO THE USE OF THIS SCRIPTURE THEY REVEAL THEIR OWN DISQUALIFICATION FROM THE DESCRIPTION BY THEIR VERY ACTIONS.

MY POINT IS THAT THE TRULY ANOINTED, AND GENUINELY PROPHETIC WOULD NEVER ATTEMPT TO DEFEND THEMSELVES WHETHER THROUGH THE USE OF THE WORD OR ANY OTHER MEANS.

THOSE THAT PRACTICE THESE TACTICS ARE ACTUALLY WRESTING THE SCRIPTURES FOR THEIR OWN BENEFIT, WHICH IS NOT THE SPIRIT BEHIND GOD'S WORD.

THE ORIGINAL CONTEXT OF THIS PASSAGE WAS IN REFERENCE TO ABRAHAM, ISSAC, AND JACOB, NOT TO SOME CONNIVING, MANIPULATING, SELF-PROMOTING, EGOTISTICAL, FLEEING WHEN NO MAN PURSUES, WICKED PASTOR.

SAINTS MUST LEARN THE WORD OF GOD THAT THEY NOT BE DECEIVED BY THESE UNGODLY PRACTICES.

PASTORS USE THESE TACTICS TO DERAIL THE MORE THEN LIKELY JUSTIFIED CRITIQUE, AND CLOSE SCRUTINY AND EXAMINATION BY THE PEOPLE THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO SERVE AND MINISTER TO.

WHAT GENUINE MAN OR WOMAN OF GOD, THAT IS A MAN AFTER GOD'S OWN HEART WOULD BELIEVE THEMSELVES ABOVE THE SCRUTINY OF THE PEOPLE.

DON'T WE, INCLUDING PASTORS EVEN EXAMINE AND SCRUTINIZE GOD'S LEADING BY QUESTIONING, DOUBTING, AND DISOBEYING WHAT HE INSTRUCTS US TO DO.

THIS PASSAGE IS MOSTLY USED TO CONTROL THE QUESTIONING, AND COMMENTS OF SKEPTICAL CHRISTIANS.

UNGODLY LEADERS DESIRE TO MANIPULATE AND CONTROL SAINTS ACTIONS AND WORDS.

IF GOD ALLOWS OUR BEING CREATURES OF FREE WILL, WHY WOULD HE THEN TURN US OVER TO THE RULE, AND WHIM OF SOME MAN.

ISN'T GOD A MORE LIKELY, AND BETTER SUITED INDIVIDUAL TO SURRENDER OUR WILL TOO, THEN SOME PASTOR ?

LET'S NOT BE SO FOOLISH AS TO NOT HOLD PASTORS TO A HIGH STANDARD BASED ON THE WORD AND NOT WHAT THEY TELL US A GOOD PASTOR IS.

WE ARE TO FOLLOW LEADERS AS THEY FOLLOW THE LORD, NOT BECAUSE THEY TELL US TO, AND NOT BECAUSE WE ARE INTIMIDATED BY THEM WAVING GOD AND HIS WORD OVER OUR HEADS LIKE A HAMMER.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:

REMEMBER THE GENUINELY ANOINTED, AND PROPHETIC DON'T DEFEND THEMSELVES, THEY REALIZE THAT WHATEVER GOD HAS CALLED THEM TO DO COULD NEVER BE DERAILED, OR THWARTED BY ANY FORCE BE IT OF MAN OR SPIRIT.

SO THE NEXT TIME YOU HEAR A PASTOR RESULT TO THIS TACTIC REALIZE THAT THEY ARE NOT FIT TO BE CONSIDERED GODS ANOINTED, OR PROPHETIC.

IT SHOULD ALSO REVEAL THAT WHATEVER THE ACCUSATIONS, OR CRITICISM THEY ARE ATTEMPTING TO SQUASH BY USING THIS SCRIPTURE MORE THEN LIKELY BEAR SOME TRUTH, AND EVEN GREATER SCRUTINY.

WHEN THIS SCRIPTURE IS BEING USED IN THIS FASHION THE HARM HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE, AND IT IS ONLY BEING VALIDATED BY THE ACCUSED.

DUPES, OR DOING ?

2010-01-22T14:44:00.000-08:00

James 1:22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

WHAT I GATHER FROM THIS SCRIPTURE IS,"IF WE EVER WANT TO FOOL OURSELVES, LET'S JUST KEEP GOING TO CHURCH EVERY SUNDAY FOR SUNDAY SCHOOL AND MORNING WORSHIP, BIBLE STUDY AND PRAYER SERVICE AND STILL NOT DO ANYTHING WE HEAR AND LEARN FROM THE SCRIPTURES".

THE WORLD IS FULL OF PEOPLE THAT REGULARLY ATTEND SERVICES, PROCLAIM AND PROFESS CHRISTIANITY, TALK THE PART, WALK THE PART, AND LOOK THE PART.

THE ONLY PROBLEM IS MOST THAT KNOW THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT FOOLED BY THE HYPOCRITICAL CHARADE, AND IT IS CERTAIN THAT GOD IS NOT FOOLED, OR DECEIVED.

SHOWING UP TO CHURCH IS FINE, QUOTING THE WORD IS IMPRESSIVE, AND HEARING THE WORD BENEFICIAL, BUT UNTIL THE WORD IS PUT INTO PRACTICE, AND APPLIED DAILY WE ARE DECEIVING OURSELVES AT BEST, AND RELIGIOUS AT WORST.

BEING SELF-DECEIVED IS TERRIBLE, BUT CAN BE REMEDIED ONCE POINTED OUT IN LOVE, RECEIVED PROPERLY, AND THE PERSON REPENTS AND ADJUST TO DO WHATS RIGHT, WHICH WOULD BE TO DO THE WORD.

THE RELIGIOUS PERSON IS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT STORY THOUGH.

RELIGIOSITY IS SO SUBTLE, PERMEATING, JUDGEMENTAL, HOLIER THEN THOU, AND WHEN THREATENED IT CAN BE EXTREMELY VICIOUS, EXACTINGLY VINDICTIVE,
AND STUBBORN.

JUST ASK JESUS, AS IT WAS RELIGION THAT ATTACKED, FALSELY ACCUSED, AND EVENTUALLY CRUCIFIED AND KILLED HIM.

THIS IS TURNING INTO A MUCH BROADER, IN DEPTH LESSON THEN THIS ENTRY WILL ALLOW, SO I WILL SIMPLY ENCOURAGE ALL TO BE AWARE OF RELIGIOSITY.

THE RELIGIOUS SPIRIT IS A DOMINATING SPIRIT AND USUALLY WILL BE THE STRONGMAN IN DELIVERANCE SCENARIOS.

ONCE AGAIN GOD'S WORD IS NOT JUST FOR HEARING, NOT FOR QUOTING, NOT FOR HOLDING OVER OTHERS HEADS, NOT SETTING ON COFFEE TABLES, AND NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART.

GOD'S WORD IS FOR ACTION, FOR DOING, FOR LIVING, FOR GOOD, AND FOREVER !

HOW PLEASED WERE OUR NATURAL PARENTS WHEN WE DIDN'T DO WHAT THEY TOLD US.

WHY WOULD OUR HEAVENLY FATHER BE ANY DIFFERENT WHEN WE FAIL TO DO WHAT HE TELLS US TO DO ?

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:

CON MEN ARE CALLED SUCH BECAUSE THEY HAVE AN UNCANNY ABILITY TO GET PEOPLE TO BUY INTO SCHEMES THAT IN RETROSPECT WERE ACTUALLY TO GOOD TO BE TRUE.

THEY DECEIVE PEOPLE THAT THE POLICE CALL DUPES, AND THAT DOESN'T EVEN SOUND GOOD.

LET'S NOT BE OUR OWN DUPES DECEIVING OURSELVES AS THE WORD SAYS.

BY BUYING INTO OUR OWN CON SCHEME THAT WE CAN ACTUALLY BE PLEASING TO GOD BY SIMPLY LISTENING TO HIS WORDS, BUT NOT DOING ANYTHING TO PLEASE HIM BY LIVING HIS WORD.

ARE WE GOING TO BE DUPES, OR DOING ?

NO MATTER WHAT !

2010-01-21T14:14:00.000-08:00

WHEN WE FEEL WE CAN GO NO FURTHER IN THE RACE OF LIFE, WE MUST RUN UNTIL WE CAN NO LONGER RUN.

THEN WE SHOULD WALK UNTIL OUR FEET BLISTER, SWELL AND HURT SO WE CAN NO LONGER WALK.

CRAWL UNTIL OUR KNEES BLEED, WEAR FLAT, AND THE BONES ARE VISIBLE.

ONCE CRAWLING IS NO LONGER POSSIBLE AND WE CEASE TO MOVE, WE SHOULD LAY ON THE COURSE SWOLLEN, BRUISED, BLEEDING, BLISTERED, FATIGUED AND MORE DETERMINED TO STAY THE COURSE WHETHER MOVING OR NOT.

IF WE MUST DIE WHILE REACHING FOR THE FINISH LINE, LET'S DO SO WITH THE KNOWLEDGE THAT GOD HAS BEEN WITH US ALL ALONG, AND WE ONLY REACHED WHERE WE DID BY HIS GRACE.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:

WE'VE ALL BEEN THROUGH TO MUCH, LOST TO MUCH, CRIED TO MUCH, HURT TO MUCH, AND COME TO FAR TO TURN BACK NOW.

OUR TIME IS SOONER THEN WE THINK IF WE DON'T GIVE UP, AND DON'T QUIT, NO MATTER WHAT !

RIGHT RUNNERS, WRONG RACE

2010-01-20T08:27:00.000-08:00

1Corinthians 9:24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.

IN SPEAKING FOR MYSELF, AND POSSIBLY A FEW OTHERS I MUST SAY THAT I AM BETTER SUITED FOR SPRINTS, AND NOT DISTANCE RUNNING.

THIS IS APPLICABLE BOTH IN THE NATURAL, AS WELL AS THE SPIRITUAL REALM.

AS A YOUNGER MAN I WAS A FORCE TO RECKON WITH WHEN IT CAME TO FOOT RACES THAT SPANNED 50 TO 100 YARDS.

I WAS A TRUE SPRINTER, QUICK OUT OF THE BLOCKS, AND EVEN QUICKER THROUGH THE FINISHLINE.

THE EXPENDITURE OF ENERGY WAS GREAT BUT THE REWARDS AND GRATIFICATION WAS AS CLOSE TO IMMEDIATE AS COULD BE, SINCE THE RESULTS WERE REALIZED WITHIN SECONDS.

OF COURSE I ENJOYED THAT AND CARRIED THAT ATTITUDE THROUGHOUT THE REST OF MY LIFE.

AS AN IMMATURE INDIVIDUAL WE ACTUALLY BELIEVE SUCH A FOOLISH NOTION TO BE REALISTIC.

THAT LIFE WOULD ALWAYS NOTICE AND REWARD OUR DEEDS AND EFFORTS IMMEDIATELY ALLOWING FOR THE ENJOYMENT OF OUR LABORS FRUITS INSTANTLY.

AS TIME PAST, I MATURED AND DISCOVERED THE PAINFUL TRUTH BOTH NATURALLY AND SPIRITUALLY.

NOW THE SPRINT HAD BECOME A MARATHON, AND MARATHON'S THOUGH NOT AS IMMEDIATELY PHYSICALLY TAXING AS SPRINTS WOULD DEPLETE MY ENERGY, DRIVE, DETERMINATION AND FOCUS OVER TIME.

HOW DIFFICULT IT IS TO LOSE THE SPRINTERS MINDSET.

I AM INATELY PREDISPOSED TO INSTANT GRATAFICATION, UNFORTUNATELY ANYTHING WORTHWHILE WILL REQUIRE TIME TO COME TO FRUITION, ESPECIALLY THOSE OF A SPIRITUAL NATURE.

I BELIEVE SOLOMON STATES IN ECCLESIASTES THAT "THE RACE IS NOT TO THE SWIFT", AND THE AUTHOR OF HEBREWS INSTUCTS US TO "RUN WITH PATIENCE THE RACE THAT IS SET BEFORE US ".

TODAYS SCRIPTURE TEXT ENCOURAGES US TO "RUN THAT YE MAY OBTAIN", SO OUR GOAL IN LIFE'S MARATHON SHOULD NOT ONLY BE TO RUN, BUT IT IS TO BE TO WIN.

THE WORLD HAS A SAYING THAT "AT LEAST YOU WERE IN THE RACE", IN THE WORLD THAT MAY SUFFICE, BUT IN THE SPIRITUAL REALM ALSO RANS ARE JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

GOD HAS MADE IT PLAINLY CLEAR THROUGH HIS WRITTEN WORD THAT OUR INTENTION, FOCUS, AND GOAL SHOULD NOT SIMPLY BE ENTRANCE IN THE RACE.

WE ARE TO ENTER WITH EVERY INTENTION OF WINNING, REGARLESS OF WHO LINES UP WITH US, WIND CONDITIONS, INJURIES, OR ANYOTHER IMPEDENCE, OBSTACLE, OR EXCUSE.

SPRINTERS DON'T WIN MARATHONS BECAUSE THEY DON'T TRAIN FOR THE LONG HAUL, SO THEY LACK THE MINDSET.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:

FROM THIS POINT ON LET'S APPROACH THE LINE EXPECTING A MARATHON.

SHOULD THE LORD IN HIS GRACE AND MERCY SHORTEN THE RACE THEN WE'LL SIMPLY HAVE SOME ENERGY IN THE RESERVES.

WE ARE ALL SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE SPIRITUAL RACE, BUT LET'S NOT BE SPRINTERS IN A MARATHON OR WE'LL BE THE RIGHT RUNNERS IN THE WRONG RACE.

LIVE TO DIE, DIE TO LIVE !

2010-01-19T16:37:00.000-08:00

2Timothy 4:7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:

SINCE THE LOSS OF MY DAUGHTER I MUST ADMIT THAT DEATH HAS BEEN IN MY THOUGHTS MORE THEN I CAN EVER REMEMBER IT BEING IN THE PAST.

MY THOUGHTS AND OUTLOOKS HAVEN'T NECESSARILY CHANGED, BUT THEY ARE DEFINITELY MORE FREQUENT.

I AM STRUGGLING DAILY TO BE ABLE TO STATE AS PAUL STATED IN THE SCRIPTURE TEXT.

THERE CAN BE NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT I HAVE FOUGHT, BUT TWO QUESTIONS DANCE IN MY MIND.

#1.- WAS, OR SHOULD I SAY IS, MY FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT ?

#2.- WILL I FINISH MY COURSE, IF IT IS THE GOOD FIGHT, AND THE RIGHT COURSE ?

ONE THING IS FOR CERTAIN THOUGH.

THAT IS IF I DO FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT, AND FINISH MY RIGHT COURSE, IT WILL
ONLY BE DONE IN, AND BY FAITH, BECAUSE I SIMPLY CANNOT DO THIS ON MY OWN.

PAUL'S WORDS ARE THE BOLD, AND CONFIDANT DECLARATIONS OF A MAN SURE OF HIS IMPENDING VICTORY !

I PRAY I CAN MAKE THE SAME DECLARATION SOMEDAY, BY THE GRACE OF GOD, AND THAT IT BE 100% TRUE.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:

LET'S LIVE AS THOUGH WE'LL DIE TODAY, AND DIE KNOWING WE'LL LIVE FOREVER!

SPANK ME INTO HEAVEN

Job 5:17 Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:

HOW MANY OF US CAN TRULY SAY WE HAVE BEEN HAPPY WHEN RECEIVING OUR CORRECTION FROM THE LORD, EVEN KNOWING THAT WE ARE WELL DESERVING OF GREATER PUNISHMENT ?

I HOPE IN HONESTY WE ALL ANSWERED "NEVER" TO THAT QUESTION.

IN RETROSPECT WE MAY REJOICE IN OUR CORRECTIONS ONCE IT IS REALIZED THAT GOD METED IT OUT WITH MERCY.

WE MUST ALSO RETROSPECTIVELY EXAMINE HOW GOD'S CORRECTIVE DISCIPLINE MORE THEN LIKELY PREVENTED US FROM SLIPPING FURTHER INTO OUR SINFUL STATE.

IF THERE WAS EVER AN INDIVIDUAL THAT WAS SUBJECTED TO TEST AND TRIALS IT WAS JOB.

THIS SAME JOB FOUND IT IN HIMSELF TO DECLARE SUCH A BOLD SCRIPTURAL STATEMENT IN SPITE OF HIS LOSSES, DESPAIR, AND SADNESS.

JOB'S ATTITUDE WAS SUCH, THAT HE ASSUMED HE WAS BEING CORRECTED FOR SOME WRONG/SIN HE'D COMMITTED AGAINST GOD, THEREFORE HE BELIEVED HE WAS BEING SUBJECTED TO GOD'S CORRECTIVE ACTIONS.

THOUGH WE REALIZE THIS WAS NOT THE CASE, WE ONLY ARE AWARE OF THAT FACT BECAUSE WE READ IT AFTER THE FACT.

JOB WASN'T READING ABOUT HIS WOES, HE WAS ACTUALLY LIVING THEM, AND YET HE MANAGED TO ADOPT THE ATTITUDE OF PRAISING AND WORSHIPPING GOD.

CAN WE SAY THE SAME FOR OURSELVES ?

DO WE DESPISE THE CHASTENING OF THE LORD ?

ARE WE JOYFUL, AND REJOICING ABOUT OUR CORRECTION FROM OUR HEAVENLY FATHER, OR ARE WE COMPLAINING, QUESTIONING, AND RUNNING FROM OUR SPANKINGS ?

IT'S TIME TO RE-EXAMINE OUR CIRCUMSTANCES IN HOPES OF DISCOVERING IF WE ARE BEING CHASTENED BY THE ALMIGHTY, OR IF WE ARE SIMPLY IN A MESS DUE TO OUR OWN PRIDEFUL ACTIONS, AND DECISIONS.

WHATEVER THE CASE MAYBE I BELIEVE IT WISDOM THAT WE EXAMINE OUR LIVE'S, AND SITUATIONS PLACING GOD IN THE VERY CENTER OF THE PROCESS.

THEN AND ONLY THEN WILL WE BEGIN TO CULTIVATE THE PROPER ATTITUDE AND MEASURES TO LIVE A PLEASING LIFE TO GOD THE ALMIGHTY.

REMEMBER JOB SAID, "HAPPY IS THE MAN WHO GOD CORRECTETH", BUT HE NEVER INDICATED WHEN THE HAPPINESS WILL BE REALIZED.

MY POINT IS THAT WE MAY NEVER TRULY REALIZE JUST HOW MUCH THE LORD HAS DONE FOR US BY HIS CORRECTIVE ACTIONS UNTIL WE ARRIVE IN HIS PRESENCE IN PEACE TO SPEND ETERNITY WITH HIM.

IT IS AT THAT TIME GENUINE CHILDREN OF GOD WILL BE EVER SO GRATEFUL FOR THE LOVE OF THE FATHER THAT CARED ENOUGH TO PREVENT OUR WAYWARD PRACTICES TO LEAD US INTO A DEVIL'S HELL.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:

AS IN THE NATURAL, SPANKINGS HURT FOR A SHORT TIME, BUT UNRULY LIVING WILL FOLLOW US THROUGHOUT LIFE.

THIS LIFESTYLE BRINGS MUCH HEARTACHE, PAIN, DISAPPOINTMENT, AND SEVERE REPERCUSSIONS, SUCH AS INCARCERATION, EARLY GRAVE, AND WORSE OF ALL AN ETERNITY IN HELL.

PARENT'S SPANKINGS HELP US TO DEVELOP INTO GOOD CITIZENS, BUT GOD'S SPANKINGS WILL SAVE US AND CREATE CITIZENS OF HEAVEN.

OUR REQUEST SHOULD BE FOR THE LORD TO SPANK US RIGHT INTO HEAVEN.

"POSITION IN LIFE"

2010-01-17T21:10:00.001-08:00

IN THE PAST I HAVE POSTED PSALMS THAT I HAVE WRITEN AS I WAS INSPIRED, AND MOVED BY THE LORD.

I HAVE HAD OTHERS DOUBT THAT THE LORD WOULD BLESS ONE PERSON WITH SUCH DIVERSITY IN GIFTINGS, BUT ALL I CAN DO IS DECLARE WHAT I KNOW MYSELF TO BE IN THE BODY OF CHRIST.

AS A PSALMIST I STRIVE TO ONLY WRITE WHEN INSPIRED AND ANOINTED TO DO SO.

AS A PROPHET I STRIVE TO ONLY SPEAK DIRECTLY INTO LIFES, OR DECLARE WHAT THUS SAITH THE LORD WHEN RELEASED AND ANOINTED TO.

IN EVERY OTHER OFFICE I AM ALLOWED TO MINISTER I STRIVE TO ONLY FUNCTION IN THOSE CAPACITIES WHEN LEAD, AND PERMITTED BY THE HOLYSPIRIT.

TODAY I FEEL LED TO SHARE A PRAYER I RECORDED IN THE EARLY 2000'S BETWEEN 01-02 WHEN I'D NOT BEEN LONG IN THE SPIRITUAL CAVES I'VE SPENT THE PAST 10 YEARS AND COUNTING IN.

I PRAY IT WILL BLESS YOU:

>>>>>>>>>>>POSITIONS IN LIFE<<<<<<<<<<<<<

FATHER BLESS ME TO EVER REALIZE

THAT MY STATUS IN LIFE

IS NOT BASED ON WHER I SIT,

BUT ON WHAT I STAND.

NEVER ALLOW MY CONFIDENCE TO BE PLACED

IN MAN, FINANCES, OR THINGS,.

ANOINT MY EYES, EARS, HEART, AND MIND,

THAT I MAY SEE, HEAR, FEEL, AND KNOW

WHAT YOU WOULD HAVE ME TO

LOOK AT, LISTEN TOO,, SENSE, AND UNDERSTAND.

DEAR GOD, AS I WORSHIP YOU

SHATTER EVERY CHAIN SATAN WOULD USE

TO SHACKLE MY MIND.

AS I PRAISE YOU LORD,

DESTROY EVERY YOKE OF BONDAGE,

THE ADVERSARY HAS PREPARED FOR ME.

AS I CRY, DRY MY TEARS,

IF I SEVER OUR FELLOWSHIP

BRIDGE THE GAP.

MASTER, AS MOSES EXTENDED HIS STAFF,

BELIEVING HE HELD NOTHING,

YOU WORKED MIRACLE AFTER MIRACLE,

ALLOW ME TO EXTEND MY LIFE AS MOSE'S ROD

AND DO AS YOU WILL.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:

JUST TRUST GOD AND DO AND BE WHAT HE SAYS YOU ARE, NOT WHAT OTHERS, OR WE OURSELVES SAY, OR BELIEVE US TO BE.

WHEREVER GOD LEADS AND PLACES US IS OUR RIGHT POSITION IN LIFE.

NO GOODY TWO-SHOES

2010-01-16T06:38:00.000-08:00

THE PREVIOUS DAILY ENTRY MADE MENTION OF HOW WE AS REDEEMED SAINTS OUGHT TO BE EVER SO GRATEFUL TO THE LORD FOR SAVING SUCH WRETCHES AS US.

TODAY I AWOKE WITH THE WORD IN MY SPIRIT THAT THERE ARE SOME THAT READ THE PARTIAL LISTING OF SIN'S AND FELT AS THOUGH NONE OF IT PERTAINS TO THEM, OR US.

DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEIR UNSAVED LIVE'S NEVER INVOLVED SUCH ILLICIT ACTIVITIES, AND SIN'S.

THESE ARE FULL OF PRIDE AND CONVINCED THAT THEY ARE SOME , OR WHERE SOMEHOW BETTER THEN THE LISTED ADULTERER, THIEF, OR WHATEVER SIN I LISTED.

ALTHOUGH IT IS VERY TRUE THAT IN THIS WORLD SEVERAL INDIVIDUALS HAVE NEVER STOLEN, CHEATED ON SPOUSES, FORNICATED, ETC....

THIS IN NO WAY MAKES THEM ANY MORE SUPERIOR THEN THE PERPETRATORS OF THE SAME.

THE BOTTOM LINE IS TO BE FOUND IN THE BIBLE:

Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

THE APOSTLE PAUL IN HIS STRAIGHT FORWARD FASHION SERVED TO EFFECTIVELY DEFLATE THE EGO'S OF ALL HAUGHTY, SELF-RIGHTEOUS INDIVIDUALS WITH THIS BLANKETING STATEMENT OF SIN FOR ALL.

IN CLOSING, WE MUST REALIZE THAT EVEN THE MOST DISCIPLINED, CLEAN LIVING, DECENT PEOPLE IN THE WHOLE WORLD HAVE STILL FALLEN SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD, AND IT IS DUE TO THE SIN IN THEIR LIFE.

THE SIN WE WHERE BORN INTO, THANKS TO ADAM.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:

EVERYONE EVER BORN, THAT LIVES UNTO ACCOUNTABILITY, MUST REPENT, BE BAPTIZED IN JESUS NAME, AND RECEIVE THE GIFT OF THE HOLYGHOST, BAR NONE.

SO FOR ALL OF THE EXALTED READERS, "PLEASE DO NOT BELIEVE YOURSELF OF SUCH STELLAR BEHAVIOR THAT YOU ARE BEYOND THE NEED FOR TOTAL SURRENDER TO CHRIST.

CONTRARY TO YOUR BELIEFS, AND SATAN'S LIES TO YOU, THERE ARE NO GOODY TWO-SHOES.

LET'S NOT FORGET

2010-01-15T20:32:00.001-08:00

TODAY LET'S JUST LOOK BACK TO WHERE THE LORD FOUND US AND BROUGHT US FROM.

SOME OF US WERE LIARS, THIEVES, ADULTERERS, FORNICATORS, ATHEIST, DRUG AND ALCOHOL USERS AND ABUSERS, FIGHTERS, UNFORGIVING, BITTER, FULL OF HATRED
GAMBLERS, AND WORSE.

YET GOD STILL LOOKED BEYOND ALL OF THESE FAULTS, OR MORE ACCURATELY SIN AND SAW OUR NEED OF SALVATION, AND GAVE US WHAT WE COULD NEVER AFFORD TO BUY.

WHAT A GOOD GOD, WHEN WE DIDN'T LIKE OURSELVES HE ACTUALLY LOVED US.

IF WE WILL BE HONEST WITH OURSELVES AND NOT SUGARCOAT OUR PAST DEEDS WE WOULD ADMIT TO THE LOWLIFES WE WERE CAPABLE OF BEING, AND IN MANY CASES LITERALLY WERE.

SHOULDN'T WE AFTER THIS INVENTORY JUST FEEL COMPELLED TO BE EVER SO GRATEFUL FOR THE PERFECT SACRIFICE WE HAVE IN JESUS ?

ALSO HIS SIN CLEANSING BLOOD ON CALVARY'S CROSS, AND THE DEATH , BURIAL, AND RESURRECTION OF THE LAMB OF GOD ?

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:

TODAY'S ADMONISHMENT IS QUITE SIMPLE.

DON'T FORGET WHERE GOD HAS BROUGHT US FROM, AND LETS THANK HIM WITH ALL OF OUR HEART, SOUL, AND MIND, IN SINCERITY AND TRUTH.

LET'S NOT FORGET !!!!!

LET'S GET IT DONE

2010-01-14T14:08:00.000-08:00

1PETER 4:17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God:

THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY FOR US AS THE CALLED OUT OF GOD TO BOLDLY POINT OUT
REBUKE,AND WARN THE MASSES OF CHARLATANS IN, AND AROUND THE PULPIT.

THAT IS WITH STRAIGHT UNCOMPROMISING, AND APOLOGY FREE TALK.

THE TIME IS PAST FOR THE POLITICALLY CORRECT, SOFT PEDDLING MENTIONS OF THESE HARMFUL SUPPOSED MEN AND WOMAN OF GOD.

THESE ARE THOSE THAT REPEATEDLY TEACH ERRONEOUS DOCTRINE, AND USE THE PEOPLE OF GOD AS MONEY DISPENSERS, AND VERBAL PUNCHING BAGS.

THEY HAVE TOTAL DISREGARD AS TO THE DAMAGE BEING DONE TO THE MASSES AS LONG AS THEY'RE APPETITES AND EGOS ARE BEING FED BY NEOPHYTES AND SHALLOW SAINTS WITH ITCHING EARS.

PROPHETS ARE TO BRING ORDER, AND ORDER RARELY IS EASILY ACCEPTED BY THE MASSES, DUE TO THE FACT THAT PEOPLES COMFORT ZONES ARE GENERALLY FOUND IN THE MIDST OF SPIRITUAL CHAOS.

PEOPLE WELCOME THE WELL CAMOUFLAGED CHAOS OF CHURCH THAT IS HIDDEN IN RELIGIOSITY.

AS LONG AS SPIRITUAL UNIFORMITY AND ACCURACY IS ABSENT, WHO IS TO SAY WHO'S SPIRITUAL AND WHO'S NOT ?

SATAN HAS LULLED THE CHURCH TO SLEEP BY CREEPING THE THEORY OF RELATIVITY INTO THE PICTURE.

SAINTS HAVE GROWN TO BELIEVE THAT THEIR PRIVATE INTERPRETATIONS OF THE SCRIPTURES WILL SUFFICE IN OUR GETTING TO HEAVEN.

IT IS THE CHARLATANS OF THE PODIUM THAT EXACERBATE THESE CONDITIONS IN THE CHURCH BY THEIR LACK OF DISCERNMENT, ANOINTING, WORD KNOWLEDGE, AND HYPOCRITICAL FILLING OF POSITIONS THEY ARE NOT CALLED TOO.

NOW IS THE TIME FOR THE CALLING OF THESE INDIVIDUALS ON THE CARPET FOR THE OVERALL GOOD OF THE CHURCH, AND THEIR PERSONAL SOULS AS WELL.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONISHMENT:

WHEN WE HEAR THE CHALLENGING OF THE LEADERS OF THE CHURCH WE SHOULD NOT BE DISTURBED BY THAT.

WE SHOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM TO VALIDATE THEIR CALLINGS, OR CAUSE THEM TO LEAVE.

THE TIME IS NOW FOR JUDGEMENT TO BEGIN AT THE HOUSE OF GOD, AND IT WILL NEED US TO GET IT DONE.

MORE WALK, LESS TALK

2010-01-13T14:45:00.000-08:00

WE ARE NOT GOOD CHRISTIANS, OR EFFECTIVE WITNESSES BECAUSE WE ATTEMPT TO FORCE OUR WAYS, AND BELIEFS UPON OTHERS.

THE WORK PLACE IS NOT FOR US TO IMPOSE LIMITS AND BOUNDARIES ON THE UNSAVED CO-WORKERS.

FIRST AND FOREMOST WE ARE TO BE WORKERS AT WORK BECAUSE WE ARE BEING PAYED TO WORK, NOT PREACH.

SECONDLY WE SHOULDN'T EXPECT THOSE WITHOUT THE HOLYGHOST TO BEHAVE BETTER THEN THOSE OF US WITH THE HOLYGHOST.

WE FAIL, AND SIN FROM TIME TO TIME AND WE ARE SAVED, WHY WOULDN'T WE EXPECT THE SAME FROM THE UNSAVED.

GRANTED WE ARE NOT TO CONDONE, OR ENCOURAGE THE UNGODLY ACTIONS, BUT WE ARE ALSO NOT TO SCOLD, REPRIMAND AND/OR BERATE THE UNSAVED OFFENDERS.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST, WE ARE TO INTEREST, WITNESS, AND CONVERT THE UNLOST BY OUR LIFE'S, WORDS, ACTIONS, AND REACTIONS TO THE WORK ENVIRONMENT, AS WELL AS OUR PRIVATE WOES.

WHEN THEY SEE OUR DAILY WALK WITH THE LORD THEY WILL REALIZE THAT OUR CONVERSION AND OUR GOD IS REAL.

PERHAPS IT IS EASIER TO TRY AND MAKE THE UNSAVED SAVED, THEN IT ACTUALLY IS TO LIVE SAVED.

THEREFORE SHALLOW CHRISTIANS RESULT TO MAKING OTHERS FEEL BAD, OR FRUSTRATED, SO THAT THEY CAN LOOK AND FEEL GOOD ABOUT THEMSELVES.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:

IF WE ARE TRULY CONCERNED ABOUT THE WELL-BEING OF OUR CO-WORKERS AND FAMILIES SOULS WE NEED LESS PREACHING TO THEM, AND MORE EXAMPLES OF GENUINE CHRISTIANITY.

EVEN IF THEY DID EVERYTHING WE ASKED THEM TO DO, BUT FAILED TO REPENT, BE BAPTIZED AND FILLED WITH THE HOLYSPIRIT THEY WILL ONLY BE ACTING LIKE CHRISTIANS, LIKE SO MANY OF US.

ACTING SAVED, AND BEING SAVED ARE TWO VERY DIFFERENT THINGS.

AS CHRISTIANS LETS PRACTICE HAVING MORE OF A WALK, AND LESS SHALLOW TALK.

PRAY, PREY, PRAY !!!!

2010-01-12T16:10:00.000-08:00

THERE WILL BE TIMES WHEN WE WON'T FEEL LIKE PRAYING, DESIRE TO PRAY, OR EVEN BE ABLE TO PRAY DUE TO THE FIERCE BATTLES WE WILL BE ENGAGED IN.

THOUGH WE MAY NOT OFFICIALLY GO TO OUR USUAL PLACE OF PRAYER, OR TO OUR KNEES, WE MUST STILL MANAGE TO EEK A PRAYER OUT.

EVEN IF IT IS JUST A "HELP ME LORD", OR PERHAPS ONLY A MOAN, SIGH, OR SILENT PLEA.

WE MUST PRAY OR BECOME PREY.

SATAN IS A DEVOURER, AND HE WILL DEVOUR US IF WE DON'T PRAY TO NOT BECOME HIS PREY.

ONLY DAYS AGO I WROTE OF HOW OUR NOT PRAYING MAKES US FEEBLE, AND ALL PREDATORS SEEK THE MOST FEEBLE OF THE HERD TO SINGLE OUT FOR EASY PICKINGS.

IS THAT YOU, OR ME ?

ARE WE THE ONE SATAN HAS HIS EYES OWN DROOLING, AND LICKING HIS CHOPS BECAUSE WE ARE WEAK AND LAGGING BEHIND THE HERD ?

ARE WE WANDERING OR LIMPING AND BLEEDING FROM PREVIOUS WOUNDS ?

SOME WOUNDS ARE THE WORK OF SATAN, BUT UNFORTUNATELY, OR SHOULD I SAY SADLY A LARGE PORTION OF OUR WOUNDS ARE SELF-INFLICTED.

ONE THING IS CERTAIN THOUGH, SATAN THE PREDATOR COULD CARE LESS IF OUR WOUNDS ARE HIS HANDY WORK OR THE RESULT OF OUR OWN FOLLY AND SIN.

HE IS COMING TO DEVOUR THE WEAKEST OF THE HERD, AND HE'S PLAYING FOR KEEPS.

HIS INTENTIONS ARE TO KILL.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:

Luke 18:1 he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;

THIS IS THE EXACT SAME SCRIPTURE USED A FEW DAYS AGO AND IT IS OBVIOUS THE LORD DESIRE TO REITERATE THE IMPORTANCE OF PRAYER TO US.

IF WE ARE NOT TO BE SATAN'S MEAL FOR THE DAY WE MUST PRAY.

IN CLOSING, I STATE ONCE MORE, "PRAY, PREY, PRAY!!!!"

NO ESCAPE

2010-01-11T13:51:00.000-08:00

Ecclesiastes 8:11 Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.

BECAUSE WE DO WRONG TODAY AND DON'T REAP FOR OUR SINS IS NOT AN INDICATOR OF OUR HAVING ESCAPED.

FARMERS NEVER EXPECT TO REAP CROPS DURING THE PLANTING SEASON, BUT THEY DO SEEK THE FRUIT OF THEIR LABOR DURING HARVEST SEASON.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FARMERS AND US IS THAT THEY SEEK, LOOK, EXPECT, HOPE FOR, ANTICIPATE, AND STRONGLY DESIRE BOUNTIFUL HARVEST FOR THEIR SOWING.

US ON THE OTHER HAND ARE NEVER OF THE SAME MINDSET WHEN IT COMES TO PAYING FOR OUR SINS.

WITH FARMERS IT'S A SHOT IN THE DARK DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND THEIR CONTROL, SUCH AS THE WEATHER, PESTILENCE, ETC.....

AS SINNERS, REAPING WHAT WE'VE SOWN IS AS SURE AS WATER IS WET.

KNOWONE WILL ESCAPE REAPING FOR THEIR EVIL DEEDS, BUT HOW MANY OF US BELIEVE THAT SINCE WE NEVER WERE CAUGHT OR SEEN FOR A SIN WE COMMITTED
WE HAD ESCAPED REAPING, OR JUDGEMENT ?

ACCORDING TO OUR SCRIPTURE TEXT IT IS THE DELAY IN REAPING OR JUDGEMENT THAT CAUSE US TO ESTABLISH COMFORT ZONES IN THE MIDST OF SIN.

WE MUST REALIZE THAT REAPING IS COMING AS SURE AS CHRIST IS, AND THOUGH THE SAVED MAY RECEIVE GRACE IN THEIR REAPING, WE NONETHELESS WILL REAP.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:

LETS REMEMBER THAT THERE IS A TIME TO SOW, AND A TIME TO REAP.

JUST BECAUSE WE WEREN'T REPAYED FOR OUR SINS IN THE SAME SEASON AS WE COMMITTED THEM DOESN'T MEAN PAYDAY IS NOT COMING.

IF YOU'RE WORRIED, CHECK YOUR SHEPHERD !

2010-01-10T07:45:00.000-08:00

Psalms 23:1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

THIS OF COURSE IS PERHAPS ONE OF THE MOST WELL KNOWN, FAMOUS, AND MOST QUOTED PASSAGES OF SCRIPTURES THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE BIBLE.

MOST LEARN THIS ENTIRE PSALM AS CHILDREN FOR EASTER RECITALS AND PROGRAMS OF THAT NATURE.

MY FOCUS TODAY WILL BE ON WHATS NOT OVERTLY STATED, BUT IN THE COVERTLY OBVIOUS.

THOUGH MY PREVIOUS SENTENCE MAY APPEAR OXYMORONIC I BELIEVE IT WILL BE OBVIOUS BY THE END OF THIS ENTRY.

IN MY RECEIPT OF ILLUMINATION CONCERNING THIS PASSAGE, I REALIZED THAT IF WE ARE SHEPHERDED BY THE LORD AND INFORMED THAT WE SHALL NOT WANT, IT THEN STANDS TO REASON THAT WE ALSO SHALL NOT WORRY.

THOUGH THAT IS NOT BE FOUND WRITTEN ANYWHERE IN THE 23 PSALM IT IS DIRECTLY IMPLIED VIA THE NOT WANTING STATEMENT.

Philippians 4:6 Be careful for nothing;

TRUE STUDENTS OF GOD'S WORD REALIZE THAT IT SHOULD ALWAYS DOVETAIL WITH OTHER PASSAGES THAT SUPPORT, AND VALIDATE WHAT IS BEING TAUGHT.

THIS FIRST PASSAGE OF PHILIPPIANS 4:6 MORE ACCURATELY TRANSLATED WOULD READ "BE ANXIOUS FOR NOTHING", OR IN LAYMAN'S TERMINOLOGY "DON'T WORRY ABOUT ANYTHING".

ALL OF WHICH DOVETAILS PERFECTLY WITH THE UNWRITTEN IN THE 23 PSALMS.

IT CONTINUES THEN IN THE SAME VERSE, GOING ON TO GIVE INSTRUCTIONS AS TO HOW TO RECEIVE FROM GOD, ALL THAT IS NEEDED BY US.

IN CLOSING I'D LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT THIS PASSAGE OF SCRIPTURE IS BASED ON FAITH, AS SO MANY OTHERS ARE.

WE MUST FIRST ACTUALLY BELIEVE IN THE WORD TO REAP THE BENEFITS OF THE WORD, THAT MY FRIEND IS FAITH.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:

WE MUST CEASE FROM SIMPLY READING AND QUOTING WELL KNOWN SCRIPTURES WITHOUT REAPING THE BENEFITS THAT ARE SOMETIMES HIDDEN IN THOSE PASSAGES.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST IF WE DO SAY THAT THE LORD IS OUR SHEPHERD THEN LETS RELAX IN OUR FAITH AND CONFIDENCE IN THE ALMIGHTY, BUT..........................................
IF YOU ARE AFRAID, NERVOUS, AND WORRIED YOU NEED TO CHECK YOUR SHEPHERD!

SO WHAT ?

2010-01-09T20:22:00.000-08:00

Psalms 107:2 Let the redeemed of the LORD say so , whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;

re·deem
play_w2("R0098300")
(r-dm)
tr.v. re·deemed, re·deem·ing, re·deems
1. To recover ownership of by paying a specified sum.
2. To pay off (a promissory note, for example).
3. To turn in (coupons, for example) and receive something in exchange.
4. To fulfill (a pledge, for example).
5. To convert into cash: redeem stocks.
6. To set free; rescue or ransom.
7. To save from a state of sinfulness and its consequences. See Synonyms at save1.
8. To make up for:
9. To restore the honor, worth, or reputation of:

TAKE NOTE OF THE HIGHLIGHTED DEFINITIONS OF JUST EXACTLY WHAT CHRIST ACCOMPLISHED FOR US BY GOING TO CALVARY'S CROSS ON OUR BEHALF.

WITH GREATER UNDERSTANDING SHOULD COME GREATER GRATITUDE.

ONCE THE GREATER GRATITUDE IS IN PLACE WE SHOULD BE NATURALLY DRAWN TO GREATER PRAISE, AND WORSHIP FOR THE GOD OF OUR SALVATION, WHICH WAS BROUGHT ABOUT BY HIS REDEEMING US.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:

THE ONLY PROPER RESPONSE FOR TODAY'S SCRIPTURE TEXT IS FOR US THAT ARE REDEEMED TO BEGIN TELLING THE WORLD THAT WE ARE, AND HOW THEY CAN BE !

WE ARE SO WHAT ?

SO SET FREE, SO RESCUED, SO RANSOMED, SO SAVED FROM THE STATE OF SINFULNESS AND IT'S CONSEQUENCES, SO MADE UP FOR, SO RESTORED OF WORTH, SO RESTORED TO HONOR, IN SUMMATION, SO REDEEMED !

THE FEEBLE ARMY

2010-01-08T20:56:00.001-08:00

Luke 18:1 And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;

THIS IS SIMPLE AND SHORT.

THE PHYSICIAN IS SAYING IF WE EVER STOP PRAYING, WE WILL BE WEAK AND FALL, OR FAIL.

faint:
play_w2("F0013000")
(fnt)
adj. faint·er, faint·est
1. Lacking strength or vigor; feeble.
2. Lacking conviction, boldness, or courage; timid.

THE PRECEDING IS THE DEFINITION FOUND I THE BIBLE FOR THE WORD FAINT.

IT CORRELATES WITH WHAT I STATED WHEN I SAID IF WE DON'T PRAY WE WILL BE WEAK WHICH TRANSLATE INTO FEEBLE, AND LACKING STRENGTH.

THIS TAKES IT A BIT FURTHER BY DECLARING IF AS IN LUKE'S WORDS,"WE FAINT", WE ALSO LACK CONVICTION, BOLDNESS, COURAGE, AND WE WILL BE TIMID.

IF THIS IS NOT MOTIVATION ENOUGH TO PRAY WE HAVE ALREADY BECOME WEAK, FAINT, FEEBLE, TIMID, LACKING CONVICTION, COURAGE, AND BOLDNESS.

THERE CAN BE NO RESPITE FROM PRAYER OR WE RISK THESE AFOREMENTIONED RESULTS.

IS THAT WHAT WE WANT ?

LUKE INSTRUCTS US TO ALWAYS PRAY.

NOT SOMETIMES, NOT WHEN WE ARE ON TOP, OR ON THE BOTTOM, HAPPY, OR SAD.

ALWAYS, MEANS WITHOUT CEASING.

1Thessalonians 5:17 Pray without ceasing.

PAUL PIGGY BACKS LUKE WITH HIS OWN DECLARATION ON PRAYER.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:

NOW IS NO TIME TO QUIT PRAYING, BECAUSE NOW IS DEFINITELY NOT A TIME TO WEAK, FEEBLE, COWARDLY OR FAINTING.

ALWAYS PRAY BROTHERS AND SISTERS, ESPECIALLY WHEN WE DON'T WANT TO.

LET'S PRAY AND NOT FAINT !

DON'T BE A PART OF THE FEEBLE ARMY OF NON-PRAYING SAINTS.

THANKS !

2010-01-07T14:09:00.000-08:00

1Thessalonians 5:18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

EVEN AS I WRITE, I AM STRIVING TO PRACTICE THIS PASSAGE OF SCRIPTURE IN MY LIFE.

THOUGH IT IS DEFINITELY EASIER SAID THEN DONE, I HAVE FOUND IT TO BE A NECESSITY IF I AM TO EVER RUN THIS RACE TO VICTORY.

NOT TO MENTION THE OBVIOUS FACT THAT IT IS WRITTEN AS A DIRECTIVE AND NOT A REQUEST BY THE APOSTLE PAUL, THEREBY MAKING IT A MANDATORY PRACTICE FOR CHRISTIANS GENUINELY PURSUING THE FACE OF GOD.

AS PAUL IS KNOWN TO DO HE HAS PAINTED US RIGHT INTO A CORNER WITHOUT WIGGLE ROOM.

WHICH HAPPENS TO BE ONE OF THE PRIMARY REASON I AM SO IN LOVE WITH THE WRITINGS OF PAUL.

I BELIEVE HE AND I PARALLEL IN SO MANY WAYS WITH OUR APPROACH TO GOD, MINISTRY, AND GOD'S PEOPLE.

PAUL SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN VOID OF GRAY AREAS AND I LIKEWISE STRIVE TO AVOID GRAY AREAS IN LIFE, CHURCH,, MINISTRY AND ALL AREAS OF MY EXISTENCE.

AS I RETURN TO THE SCRIPTURE TEXT I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT PAUL USE A VERY ENCOMPASSING WORD WHEN HE CHOSE TO USE "EVERYTHING".

WHAT THIS MEANS IS YOU AND I MUST LEARN TO GIVE THANKS FOR THE THINGS WE LIKE AND/OR ENJOY WHICH IS SIMPLE.

THE DIFFICULTY COMES WHEN I MUST LEARN TO THANK HIM FOR MY HURTS, DISAPPOINTMENTS, FAILURES, HEARTACHES, LOSSES, ETC........

I WILL NOT FAIN AS THOUGH THIS IS SOME SIMPLE SECOND NATURE PRACTICE OF MINE THAT COMES WITHOUT DIFFICULTY.

I AM CONSTANTLY STRUGGLING TO THANK, AND NOT COMPLAIN, DOUBT, AND/OR QUESTION, THOUGH I DO ADMITTEDLY ASK GOD SOME QUESTIONS.

I AM NOT OF THE ERRONEOUS DOCTRINE THAT QUESTIONS REPRESENT DOUBT.

MY TEACHING IS THAT QUESTION COME FROM INTELLIGENT PEOPLE THAT REALIZE ANSWERS ARE PRECIPITATED BY QUESTIONS.

THEREFORE IF ONE DESIRES ANSWERS, THEY SHOULD QUITE OBVIOUSLY ASK QUESTIONS.

MY GOAL IS TO LIVE A LIFE OF THANKS TOWARDS MY GOD, PLAIN AND SIMPLY.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:

REGARDLESS OF HOW DIFFICULT OUR LIVE'S ARE, OR MAY BECOME, IF WE ARE EVER TO SEE THE SAVIORS FACE IN PEACE WE MUST ADOPT, AND ADAPT AN ATTITUDE OF THANKS.

THANKS FOR THE GOOD, THANKS FOR THE BAD, THANKS FOR THE BLESSINGS, THANKS FOR THE ENEMIES, THANKS FOR THE FRIENDS, THANKS FOR THE ANSWERS, THANKS FOR THE SILENCE.

WE MUST JUST LEARN TO CONDITION OURSELVES TO SAY THANKS EVEN BEFORE WE STOP TO CLOUD THE THANKS WITH OUR REASONING, LOGIC, COMPLAINTS, AND DOUBTS.

ESPECIALLY WHEN IT GOES AGAINST REASON WE SHOULD SAY THANK YOU LOUDER AND MORE FREQUENTLY SO THAT BOTH GOD AND SATAN HEAR OUR THANKS IN ADVERSITY.

THINKING THERE, BUT BETTER HERE

2010-01-06T14:03:00.000-08:00

WE MUST NEVER FORGET THAT WE ARE NOT PLACED HERE ON EARTH TO ESTABLISH PERMANENT RESIDENCE.

HOW OFTEN WE HAVE HEARD THE SUGGESTION THAT WE WEAR THIS WORLD LIKE A LOOSE GARMENT.

LOOSE GARMENTS OF COURSE ARE EASY TO SHED, AND QUICK TO HIT THE FLOOR, FREEING US THE BOUNDARIES OF WHATEVER THE GARMENT IS WE HAD ON.

ALL CLOTHING POSSESS RESTRICTIONS OF SOME SORT.

FOR THAT REASON GOD ALLOWED ADAM AND EVE THE FREEDOM OF SKIN AND IT'S LIMITLESS POSSIBILITIES.

ONCE THEY SINNED THEY WERE BOUND SPIRITUALLY AND REQUIRED TO BE BOUND NATURALLY, FIRST BY LEAVES, THEN BY CLOTHING.

HOW MANY TIMES HAVE WE ALSO BEEN INFORMED THAT WE ARE PILGRIMS PASSING THROUGH THIS EARTH ?

LET'S NOT BEHAVE AS THOUGH WE AREN'T REQUIRED TO LEAVE THIS PLAIN, AND THAT WE ARE ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MANNER WE ENTER THE NEXT PLAIN, AND WHICH PLAIN WE ATTAIN, HEAVEN OR HELL.

WE ARE STILL EXPECTED TO LIVE, AND MAKE THE MOST OF THE LIFE AFFORDED US.

OF COURSE WE ARE TO PLACE GOD FIRST, AND STRIVE TO BE AS CHRISTLIKE AS POSSIBLE.

YET IN THE MIDST OF ALL OF OUR ATTEMPTS TO ACHIEVE THIS HAPPY BALANCE WE ARE TO NEVER ALLOW THE REALITY OF DEATH TO BE FAR FROM OUR CONSCIOUS THOUGHTS.

THIS SHOULD BE DONE THAT WE NOT BECOME CAVALIER ABOUT OUR SALVATION, AND EVER AWARE OF THE FACT THAT OUR, AND OUR LOVED ONES CALLING FROM EARTH TO THE GRAVE MAY ONLY BE WEEKS, DAYS, HOURS, MINUTES, OR EVEN SECONDS AWAY!

DEATH IS NOT TO BE ALLOWED TO BECOME SOME MACABRE OBSESSION WHERE WE DWELL ON DEATH TO THE POINT THAT WE CAN'T LIVE, BUT IT SHOULD LITERALLY LOOM OVER OUR DAILY ACTIVITIES.

WE SHOULD DISCIPLINE OURSELVES TO DISCERN AND DETECT DEATHS POSSIBILITIES AND OPPORTUNITIES IN THE EVERYDAY MOVEMENTS OF OURS AND OUR LOVED ONES LIVES.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:

IF WE ARE IN CONSTANT PREPARATION FOR OUR OWN DEPARTURE FROM LIFE TO ETERNITY WE WILL STRIVE FOR CHRIST LIKENESS IN ALL WE DO REALIZING OUR TIME COULD COME ANY SECOND.

WE ALSO WOULD STOP TAKING FOR GRANTED THE ONES WE CLAIM TO LOVE SO.

BOTH OF THESE SCENARIOS PROPERLY PLAYED OUT WILL LEAD TO OUR BEING BETTER STEWARDS OVER EVERYTHING, MORE SERIOUS ABOUT OUR SALVATION, PREFER OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS BEFORE OURSELVES, TITHE PAYERS, OFFERING GIVERS, MORE COMPASSIONATE, FORGIVING, LONGSUFFERING ETC......

BEING IN A STATE OF CONSTANT PREPARATION FOR DEPARTURE WILL MAKE US BE OVER THERE IN THOUGHT, BUT BETTER HERE.

ENEMY FREE, MEANS VICTORY

2010-01-05T14:50:00.000-08:00

1Corinthians 15:26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH THIS PASSAGE OF SCRIPTURE ?

IF YOU ARE, WERE YOU AWARE OF THIS SCRIPTURE ABOUT DEATH SIGNIFICANCE IN OUR LIFE ?

MOST PEOPLE, AND BY MOST I MEAN APPROX. 99% THAT ARE AWARE OF THIS SCRIPTURE PLACE IT'S SIGNIFICANCE TO US AFTER WE HAVE LIVED.

TODAY AS I BEGAN TO WRITE THE LORD ILLUMINATED THIS SCRIPTURE TO ME AND REVEALED IT'S GREATER IMPORTANCE TO US IN OUR LIFE'S.

MY TIME IS SHORT SO I WILL ATTEMPT TO SHARE THIS WITH YOU IN SYNOPTIC FORM.

WE REALIZE THAT WE ARE INSTRUCTED IN THE WORD TO DIE OUT TO THE FLESH.

THIS IS A FORM OF DEATH !

IN YESTERDAYS WRITING I SPOKE OF GOD'S PROCESS KILLING ME, NOT LITERALLY, BUT LITERALLY KILLING ME OUT TO ME, OR MY FLESH.

ONCE AGAIN, THIS IS A FORM OF DEATH.

I HAVE JUST REVEALED DEATH IN MYSELF TWICE WHILE I CONTINUE TO LIVE.

THE SCRIPTURE TEXT STATED THAT DEATH IS TO BE THE FINAL ENEMY DESTROYED.

CLEARLY DECLARING THAT ONCE DEATH IS CONQUERED THERE IS NOTHING ELSE TO CONQUER BECAUSE IT IS THE FINAL ENEMY.

WE ARE AWARE THAT ONCE WE NATURALLY DIE WE HAVE ACHIEVED THE ULTIMATE VICTORY IF WE ARE GENUINELY SAVED.

BUT.....WERE WE AWARE THAT ONCE WE FINALLY TRULY DIE OUT TO OUR FLESH THAT WE WOULD HAVE ACHIEVED THE ULTIMATE VICTORY IN LIFE THROUGH DEATH ?

IT IS THE FLESH ALIVE THAT WILL CONTINUE TO BRING ABOUT EVERY SINGLE ENEMY WE WILL FACE ON THIS EARTH TO VICTORY AGAINST US.

BUT THE DEAD MAN WILL NO LONGER AFFORD FLESH OR SATAN ANY MORE VICTORY'S IN OUR LIFE'S.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONISHMENT:

IF WE HAVE OUR FINAL ENEMY DESTROYED WE NO ,LONGER HAVE TO FIGHT BECAUSE WE'LL BE ENEMY FREE.

LET'S HURRY UP AND WELCOME THE DEATH OF OUR FLESH THAT OUR FINAL ENEMY WILL NO LONGER BE VICTORIOUS AGAINST US.

DYING AND BEING KILLED ARE NOT THE SAME

2010-01-04T16:51:00.000-08:00

I TRULY WISH I POSSESSED THE ABILITY TO CONVEY IN WORDS THE DEPTHS OF MY PAIN, AND EMOTIONS BEHIND THE DEATH OF MY DAUGHTER.

I CAN NEVER PREDICT WHEN THE TEARS WILL FLOW, WHEN THE LONELINESS WILL HIT, OR THE REALIZATION THAT SHE'S GONE NEVER TO RETURN.

I WILL HAVE TO EVER DEAL WITH MISSING HER, AND THE SECOND GUESSING THAT ACCOMPANIES BEING A FATHER THAT HAS LOST HIS FIRST BORN.

I WOULD APOLOGIZE FOR LABOURING THIS TOPIC, BUT TO APOLOGIZE WOULD BE TO APOLOGIZE FOR LOVING HER SO, AND I'D RATHER OFFEND THEN NOT LOVE AND MISS HER.

ALL OF THIS MUST SERVE A PURPOSE, BUT IT'S NOT EASILY DISCERNED, OR OBTAINED.

I DO ATTEMPT TO IMAGINE THE PAIN AND EMOTIONS OF GOD WHO LOSES HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF CHILDREN A DAY, AND HE LOVES EACH OF THEM EVEN MORE THEN I LOVE MY ONE DEPARTED CHILD.

I KNOW MY WELL WISHERS CAN NEVER HONESTLY SAY THEY KNOW HOW I FEEL UNLESS THEY THEMSELVES HAVE LOST THEIR CHILD IN DEATH.

LIKEWISE, I IN MY GREATEST MOMENTS OF DESPAIR, SADNESS, AND HEARTBREAK CAN NEVER SAY I UNDERSTAND HOW GOD FEELS.

I DO KNOW HOW I FEEL, AND I CAN NOT EVEN FATHOM MULTIPLYING MY HURT, AND LOSS ONE IOTA.

I WOULD NEVER WISH THIS EXPERIENCE UPON ANYONE, SO I MUST BE EVER SO CAUTIOUS TO NOT BE ONE OF GODS CHILDREN THAT BREAK HIS HEART BY REJECTING HIS OFFER OF SALVATION, AND HIS SHOULDER OF COMFORT.

I GUESS THAT IS LOVE.

PERHAPS I AM LEARNING SOMETHING FROM THIS EXPERIENCE.

PRIOR TO MY LOSS I ADMITTEDLY WAS PRIMARILY CONCERNED ABOUT MAKING IT TO HEAVEN FOR MY OW SAKE, AND NOT REALLY TAKING GODS FEELINGS INTO CONSIDERATION.

SURE I KNEW HE WANTED ME IN HEAVEN, THAT WAS THE REASON CHRIST CAME, AND SALVATION WAS OFFERED, BUT MY NOT MAKING IT AND CAUSING HIM TO HURT FROM THE LOSS OF HIS CHILD RARELY, IF EVER CROSSED MY MIND.

MY REASONS WERE SELFISH, AND SELF-CENTERED, NEVER CONSIDERING HOW MUCH GOD HAS INVESTED IN ME TO GET ME TO HEAVEN, NOR JUST HOW DEVASTATING IT IS TO LOSE A CHILD.

NOW I KNOW.

I'VE OFTEN SAID IN CONVERSATIONS THAT GOD WILL MORE TIMES THEN NOT, AND I GENUINELY BELIEVE HE DOES IN ALL CASES CAUSE A PROPHET TO WALK THEIR MINISTRIES OUT BEFORE THEY CAN HONESTLY, AND SINCERELY SPEAK DIRECTLY FOR HIM.

TAKE NOTE OF HOSEA THE PROPHET AND HOW HE NEEDED TO MARRY A HARLOT AND THEN BUY HIS OWN WIFE BACK BEFORE GOD MIGHTILY USED HIM TO SPEAK FOR HIM TO THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL ABOUT THEIR SPIRITUAL FORNICATION.

WELL I SEE SOMETHING DEVELOPING,BUT I MUST CLOSE NOW UNTIL GOD RELEASES ME TO SHARE MORE, SO PERHAPS YOU CAN COME ALONG WITH ME ON MY JOURNEY TO COMPLETION.

2DAY PROPHETIC ADMONISHMENT:

WE JUST WON'T KNOW WHAT THE END WILL BE UNTIL WE MAKE IT TO THE END, WHICH IS AN IMPOSSIBILITY WITHOUT THE LORD ON OUR SIDE.

THOUGH WE ARE MEANT TO DIE OUT TO SELF, THE PROCESS TO COMPLETION WOULD LITERALLY KILL US, WITH OUT GOD'S GRACE, AND IT IS STILL DESIGNED TO KILL OFF OUR FLESH.

WHEN NOTHING MEANS EVERYTHING

2010-01-03T12:05:00.000-08:00

IN THE 8TH CHAPTER OF ROMANS PAUL MAKES MENTION OF HIS (OUR) ALLOWING A SEPARATION BETWEEN THE LORD AND US.

HE THEN GOES ON TO LIST A NUMBER OF ITEMS THAT COULD POSSIBLY BECOME PRECIPITANTS OF SEPARATION.

IF YOU READ VERSES 35, 38-39 YOU WILL SEE WHAT I MEAN.

TODAY I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT WHEN WE SO CASUALLY TOSS OUT WORDS WE, ARE OFTEN UTTERING BOLD STATEMENTS WE HAVE FAILED TO CONSIDER THE WEIGHTINESS OF.

HOW MANY TIMES HAVE WE STATED THAT WE WOULDN'T ALLOW NOTHING TO COME BETWEEN US AND OUR GOD, OR OUR SALVATION.

WHEN WE STAND TO TESTIFY WE OFTEN PLACE OURSELVES IN PRECARIOUS POSITIONS WITH BIG WORDS, AND DECLARATIONS.

IN OUR EFFORTS TO IMPRESS WE OFTEN IMPLICATE AND/OR SET OURSELVES UP FOR SCRUTINY BY THE LISTENERS, AND OFTEN TIME THE MUCH ANTICIPATED FAILURE THAT UNFORTUNATELY WAS INEVITABLE.

MANY TIMES OUR SPIRITED AND WELL INTENDED BOASTING CAN ONLY BE SUMMED UP AS LIES.

IN GETTING BACK TO OUR FOCAL POINT HAVE WE EVER STOP THAT WHEN WE MAKE STATEMENTS USING WORDS LIKE "NOTHING" THAT WE CAN ACTUALLY BE SAYING EVERYTHING.

IN ORDER FOR US TO ALLOW NOTHING TO SEPARATE US FROM GOD, WE MUST REALIZE WE ARE SAYING THAT EVERYTHING FALLS INTO THE CATEGORY OF NOTHING.

EVERYTHING THAT IS IN EXISTENCE, AND/OR ACCESSABLE TO US MUST THEREFORE TAKE SECOND PLACE TO GOD.

I BELIEVE THESE WORDS ARE SPOKEN IN SINCERITY, AND WITH GOOD INTENTIONS.

I ALSO BELIEVE THE SPEAKERS OF SUCH WORDS HAVE ALREADY COMPILED A PRECONCEIVED LIST OF POSSIBILITIES LEAVING OUT ALOT OF REALITY.

MOST LIST PROBABLY CONSIST OF SUCH ITEMS SUCH AS ALCOHOL, DRUGS, THE OPPOSITE SEX, STEALING, LYING, ETC... WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO SEPARATE US FROM THE LORD.

ALL OF WHICH SHOULD BE ON THE LIST, BUT THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER INTANGIBLES THAT MAY COME INTO CONTENTION WHEN IT COMES TO SEPARATING US FROM THE LORD.

SUCH AS JOBS, FAMILY, SCHEDULES, OBLIGATIONS, HEALTH, FINANCES, EMOTIONS
AND ANY OTHER PLETHORA OF THINGS MUST BE ADDED ONTO OUR NOTHING LIST, OR SHOULD I SAY OUR EVERYTHING LIST.

ON THIS DATE LAST YEAR I WAS SITTING IN MY 28 YR OLD DAUGHTERS FUNERAL SERVICE NOT BELIEVING THIS WAS REALLY HAPPENING.

IN THE YEAR SINCE I FEEL AS THOUGH I HAVE AGED SEVERAL YEARS.

EVEN THOUGH ON ONE HAND I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S ALREADY BEEN A YEAR, ON THE OTHER HAND THIS SEEMS LIKE IT'S BEEN LONGER THEN A YEAR.

I CAN REMEMBER SAYING THROUGHOUT THE YEARS THAT I WOULD BY THE GRACE OF GOD NOT ALLOW ANYTHING TO COME BETWEEN GOD AND I.

THAT WAS BEFORE THIS PAST YEAR, AND BEFORE MY EXPERIENCING SUCH LOSS, AND SADNESS.

I CONTINUE TO DESIRE THAT NOTHING SEPERATE ME FROM GOD, BUT I HAVE A GREATER UNDERSTANDING NOW OF THE COST OF STAYING WITH GOD.

AS IN ANY GENUINE RELATIONSHIP THE COST IS GREAT, AND THE SELF SACRIFICE IS EVEN GREATER.

ONCE AGAIN IN MY CLARK KENT FASHION I OPENLY ADMIT THAT I AM IN A BATTLE FOR MY FEW RELATIONSHIPS HERE ON EARTH, BUT NONE HAVE PROVEN AS TAXING, AND DEMANDING AS THE ONE RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD.

IN MY FIGHTING FOR MY EARTHLY RELATIONSHIPS I HAVE INVESTED MUCH, BUT I LIKE ALL HUMANS HAVE MY LIMITS I GUESS.

I'LL GIVE OF MY FINANCES, THEY CAN HAVE MY HOME, CARS, ALL OF MY THINGS, INCLUDING MY HEART, BUT IN MY ATTEMPTS TO MAINTAIN, OR PERHAPS EVEN SALVAGE MY RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD I'VE HAD TO EVEN GO SO FAR AS TO THROW IN MY SOUL.

IT WAS THEN THAT I DISCOVERED WHAT GIVING EVERYTHING MEANT.

EVEN IF I WERE TO OFFER MY SOUL TO MY EARTHLY LOVED ONES WHAT COULD THEY DO WITH IT THAT WOULD BE OF ANY VALUE TO THEM OR ME ?

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:

I'VE INFORMED YOU ALL IN THE PAST THAT GETTING INTO HEAVEN IS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART, AND THAT OUR SUCCESSFUL JOURNEY THERE WILL REQUIRE GREAT EFFORT AND SACRIFICE ON OUR BEHALF.

IT WASN'T EASY FOR JESUS TO ACCEPT THE SHAME AND PAIN OF THE CROSS, WHY WOULD WE BELIEVE THAT IT WOULD BE EASY FOR US TO GET INTO HEAVEN.

LET'S REMEMBER SAINTS THAT WHEN IT COMES TO ENTERING HEAVEN, AND SPEAKING DECLARATIVE WORDS OF OUR INTENTIONS, THAT OUR NOTHINGS COULD VERY WELL REQUIRE OUR EVERYTHING.

WATCH NIGHT IS FOR WATCHING

2010-01-02T12:09:00.000-08:00

HOW MANY PEOPLE BEGAN THE NEW YEAR BY BEING IN CHURCH JUST LIKE LAST YEAR?

OF THOSE PEOPLE WHICH ONES ARE PRETTY MUCH IN THE SAME SPIRITUAL CONDITION THEY WERE IN LAST YEAR THIS TIME , IF NOT IN A WORSE STATE DUE TO SOME BACKSLIDING.

SO MANY CHRISTIANS ARE RELIGIOUS WITHOUT EVEN BEING AWARE OF IT BECAUSE THE MAIN TOOL OF RELIGIOUSITY IS TO BE CONVINCED THAT AS LONG AS YOU'RE DOING THE SAME THINGS, AT THE SAME TIME, AND PLACES WE ARE ALRIGHT.

WHILE THAT IN ITSELF IS THE ACT OF RELIGIOUSITY.

SATAN CONVINCES US THAT BECAUSE WE ARE NOT IN SOME NIGHT CLUB, DRINKING ALCOHOL, OR SOME OTHER WORLDLY PARTY WE ARE ON OUR WAY TO HEAVEN.

SIMPLY BEING IN CHURCH FOR WATCH NIGHT SERVICE IS TO NO AVAIL IF WE ARE NOT WATCHING.

WE CAN WASH MORE FEET THEN A PEDICURIST, SING MORE BLOOD SONGS THEN THE ANGELS, AND HAVE MORE COMMUNION THEN MONKS.

IF WE ARE NOT AT WATCH NIGHT SERVICE TO THANK THE LORD FOR BRINGING US THROUGH THE EXITING YEAR, AND PRAYING FOR A CLOSER WALK WITH HIM IN THE COMING YEAR WE MAY AS WELL STAY HOME FROM ANOTHER RELIGIOUS EXERCISE.

ANOTHER COMMON CHRISTIAN MALADY IS KNOWN TO CREEP INTO THESE EVENTS, AND THAT IS PRIDE.

HOW MANY WATCH NIGHT ATTENDEES USE THEIR PRESENCE AT THESE SERVICES TO HANG OVER THE HEADS OF THEIR UNSAVED RELATIVES, FRIENDS, CO-WORKERS, AND EVEN OTHER SAINTS THAT WEREN'T IN ATTENDANCE.

THIS IS DONE AS THOUGH SOME CERTIFICATE OF ENTRANCE WAS ASSURED THEM DUE TO THEIR ATTENDANCE TO A TRADITIONALLY HUMDRUM, CUT AND DRY, NOT VERY SPIRITUAL SERVICE.

I AM NOT AGAINST ANYTHING THAT WILL AFFORD US OPPORTUNITY TO COME TOGETHER WORSHIPPING, AND PRAISING OUR GOD.

I AM AGAINST HOLLOW OBSERVANCES THAT HAVE LOST ALL MEANING, AND SPIRITUAL CONTENT OTHER THEN PERFORMING SOME ACTS THE LORD AND THE DISCIPLES DID, WITHOUT THE SPIRIT OF THE ACT BEHIND THE ACT.

CHRIST WASN'T SIMPLY ATTEMPTING TO GIVE US SOME MUNDANE ACTS TO FOLLOW TO PREVENT OUR BOREDOM.

THIS IS NO DIFFERENT THEN POSSESSING THE ABILITY TO QUOTE SCRIPTURES VERBATIM BUT NOT LIVING THEM, OR QUOTING THEM IN THE SPIRIT OF THE WORD.

SAINTS WE HAVE JUST GOT TO DO BETTER WHEN IT COMES TO SERVING THE LORD, AND DOING THE THINGS WE SAY WE ARE DOING FOR HIM.

THE TIME IS AT HAND TO EXAMINE EACH AND EVERYTHING WE DO, REALIZING THAT THE TIME FOR THE COMING OF THE LORD IS NOW, AND THE TIME FOR HIS JUDGEMENT OF THE BODY IS RIGHT NOW.

SO WHAT, WE WERE IN CHURCH AT MIDNIGHT DECEMBER 31.

WAS YOUR HEART IN THE SERVICE ?

WAS OUR MIND ON GOD, WHAT HE'S DONE FOR US, WHAT HE WANTS FROM US, ETC...?

DID YOU REALLY WANT TO BE THERE, OR WERE YOU THERE TO PREVENT THE OTHERS FROM TALKING ABOUT YOU, OR BECAUSE YOU HAD NO WHERE ELSE TO GO ?

WERE YOU POSSIBLY THERE BECAUSE YOU WERE THERE LAST YEAR AND IT'S NOW TRADITION.

HAVE YOU EVEN ASKED YOURSELVES WHY YOU WERE THERE AND WHAT ANY OF IT MEANS ?

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONISHMENT: THIS YEAR WHY DON'T WE ALL MAKE A COMMITMENT TO EXAMINING ALL OF OUR RELIGIOUS ACTS, WHAT THEY MEAN, WHY WE DO THEM, THE MOTIVES BEHIND THEM, AND HOW THEY BENEFIT US.

REMEMBER. JUDGEMENT TIME FOR THE HOUSE OF GOD IS RIGHT NOW, AND THE TIME FOR CHRIST RETURN IS NOW.

EMPTY GESTURES WILL BRING US NO CLOSER TO GOD, THEREFORE THEY WILL NOT BRING US ANY CLOSER TO HEAVEN.

EACH ACTION, WORD, AND MOTIVE SHOULD BE BE GEARED TOWARDS OUR SEEKING THE FACE OF THE LORD, AND HIS WILL FOR US IN THIS LIFE !

WHEN WE ATTEND OUR NEXT WATCH NIGHT SERVICE WE SHOULD BE WATCHING OUT FOR THESE THINGS CREEPING INTO OUR LIFES.

SO THEN OUR WATCH NIGHTS WILL TRULY BE FOR WATCHING.

TIME: A CURSE OR BLESSING

2010-01-01T16:36:00.000-08:00

HOW EASY IT IS TO BECOME DISTRACTED FROM THE LORDS WORK WHEN INUNDATED WITH THE CONCERNS OF THIS WORLD.

I WOULD LIKE TO INFORM ALL OF THE SUPER HOLY READERS THAT HAVE ALREADY ENTER INTO THEIR JUDGEMENTAL MODE, THAT BEING CONCERNED WITH THE WORLD DOES NOT MEANS BEING APART OF THE WORLD.

WE ARE STILL IN THE WORLD SO IT GOES WITHOUT SAY THAT MANY THINGS SIMPLY MUST BE ADDRESSED IF WE ARE TO CONDUCT BUSINESS, AND LIVE AS WE SHOULD.

TODAY I WOULD LIKE TO INFORM ALL OF THOSE THAT DUE TO THE POOR ECONOMIC CLIMATE FIND THEMSELVES UNEMPLOYED, OR UNDEREMPLOYED THAT THE TIME ALLOWED NOW SHOULD BE PUT TO GREAT USE.

THERE CAN BE NO GREATER USE OF THIS NEW FOUND TIME THEN GROWING CLOSER TO THE LORD, AND NOT COMPLAINING ABOUT YOUR SITUATIONS.

IT IS MY BELIEF THAT THE LORD IS USING THESE TOUGH TIME S TO ALLOW CHRISTIANS TIME TO REFOCUS AND REPRIORITIZE AS GOD BEGINS THE PURGING, CLEANING, AND JUDGING OF THE CHURCH BEFORE HIS RETURN.

THE TIME MAY COME WHEN YOU MUST RETURN TO WORK AND LOSE ALL OF THE PRAYER, AND STUDY TIME AVAILABLE TO YOU NOW, AND BOY HOW YOU WILL LONG FOR THE TIME WHEN YOU HAD TIME.

EVERYTHING WE CALL A CURSE IS NOT NECESSARILY SO.

JOSEPH IMPRISIONMENT LED TO THE THRONE, AND OUR LAY-OFFS MAY LEAD TO OUR PROMOTIONS.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONISHMENT: GOD KNOWS WHERE WE ARE AND WHAT WE NEED.

IF HE ALLOWED YOUR LAYING OFF, OR JOB LOSS HE HAS A PLAN FOR YOU, BUT YOU MUST USE THIS BORROWED TIME OF NO WORK TO SEEK HIM, WHICH WILL IN TURN LEAD TO YOUR DISCOVERING HIS PURPOSE, PLANS AND GOALS FOR YOU.

NOW ASK YOURSELF IF YOUR DOWN TIME, REGARDLESS OF WHAT CAUSED IT, IS A CURSE, OR A BLESSING.

THE MIGHT FOR RIGHT

2009-12-31T13:41:00.000-08:00

2Th 3:13 But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing.

AS WE LIVE OUR LIVE'S FROM DAY TO DAY WE OFTEN FIND OURSELVES GROWING WEARY IN WELL DOING.

DUE TO OUR ADAMIC NATURE IT IS FAR MORE SECOND NATURE TO DESIRE THINGS CONTRARY TO GOD'S NATURE.

IN OTHER WORDS IT EASIER TO SIN, THEN NOT FOR MOST OF US.

I REALIZE THAT MOST CHRISTIANS ARE PROBABLY IN DISAGREEMENT WITH ME OVER THAT STATEMENT.

THIS IS BECAUSE OF HOW MUCH EFFORT THEY EXPEND EACH DAY IN THEIR EFFORT TO WALK UPRIGHTLY BEFORE GOD.

THE FACT THAT RIGHTEOUS LIVING REQUIRES SO MUCH EFFORT IS IN IT'S SELF PROOF OF OUR PROPENSITY TO SIN.

I ALSO REALIZE THAT THE MAJORITY OF US BELIEVE THAT BECAUSE WE NO LONGER DRINK, LIE, STEAL, FORNICATE, CUSS, COMMIT ADULTERY, OR OTHER BLATANT SINS MOST DAYS THAT WE ARE VOID OF SIN.

THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER, IS SIN IS MORE THEN SIMPLE ACTS OF COMMISSION, BUT IT ALSO INCLUDES OMISSION, AND EVEN MORE COVERTLY SIN INCLUDES OUR ATTITUDES, DISPOSITIONS, AND EVEN OUR THOUGHTS.

THOUGH IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT WE DAILY STRIVE TO WALK UP RIGHTLY LISTED 2 PARAGRAPHS AGO, THEY ARE RATHER ELEMENTARY DUE TO THE OBVIOUS NATURE OF THE SINS.

THE TRUE EFFORT MUST BE PLACED IN THE CONTROLLING, AND BEING DELIVERED FROM THE SIN'S OF OUR HEARTS, SOULS, AND MINDS, THE SINS NOT SO EASILY SEEN BY THE NAKED OR UNDISCERNING EYE.

WHEN WE ENVY, COVET, HATE, ARE UNFORGIVING ETC......MOST OF THE WORLD IS NOT AWARE OF IT, THEREFORE THEY ARE UNABLE TO IDENTIFY OUR HYPOCRITICAL WAYS.

THOUGH UNDETECTED BY THE MASSES WE ARE, NOT SCOTT FREE WITH THE LORD.

EFFORTS OF THIS NATURE CAN BE QUITE DRAINING PHYSICALLY, SPIRITUALLY, AND EMOTIONALLY, ESPECIALLY AS WE WATCH THE APPARENT WICKED SEEMLY PROSPER WITH EACH PASSING DAY.

THAT IS THE PURPOSE FOR PAUL'S ADMONISHMENT TO NOT GROW TIRED WHEN IT COMES TO OUR DOING THE RIGHT THING ACCORDING TO GOD, AND HIS WORD.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONISHMENT: WE CAN, AND MORE THEN LIKELY WILL GROW TIRED OF HAVING TO WORK, PAYING BILLS, DEALING WITH THE WORLD, HEALTH ISSUES, FAMILY MATTERS, AND COUNTLESS OTHER PROBLEMS, BUT WE MUST NEVER GROW WEARY IN OUR WELL DOING.

JUST WHEN IT APPEARS AS THOUGH WE CAN'T TAKE ANOTHER STEP DOWN, OR BACKWARD WE MUSTN'T CEASE FROM DOING WHATS RIGHT EVEN WHEN THE SIN IS NOT OBVIOUS TO ANYONE ELSE.

WE NEED ALWAYS RESERVE THE MIGHT FOR WHATS RIGHT.

WHERE ARE THE HYPOCRITES ?

2009-12-30T08:41:00.000-08:00

hypocrite [ˈhɪpəkrɪt] n: a person who pretends to be what he is not

THIS IS THE DEFINITION FROM THE DICTIONARY, DESCRIBING, AND EXPLAINING WHAT THE BULK OF SUPPOSED CHILDREN OF GOD ARE, HYPOCRITES !

OF COURSE MOST WILL IMMEDIATELY ASSUME THAT I AM BEING OVERLY HARSH, EXAGGERATING, BEING PESSIMISTIC, OR JUST PLAIN WRONG.

LETS TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AND SEE IF I CAN PERHAPS SHINE SOME LIGHT ON WHY IT IS THAT I WOULD MAKE SUCH A STATEMENT.

MOST PEOPLE RESERVE THE LABELING OF HYPOCRITE FOR THOSE THAT ARE SAID TO BE PROFESSING CHRISTIANITY, OR SOME OTHER BELIEF, AND LIVING CONTRARY TO THEIR OWN DECLARATION.

TODAY BY THE UNCTION OF GOD I WILL BROADEN THE DEFINITION OF HYPOCRITE FOR THE CHURCH, BUT WILL BE WELL WITHIN THE DEFINITION OF THE DICTIONARY

WE MUST REALIZE THAT WHENEVER WE FILL A POSITION IN THE BODY OF CHRIST THAT WE WERE NOT CALLED TOO BY GOD HIMSELF, THEN WE ARE PRETENDING TO BE THE RIGHTFUL INHABITANT OF THAT POSITION.

THE SAD THING IS THAT SO MANY ARE AFFECTED BY SUCH TRAVESTIES AND MAY BE SUBJECTED TO EXPERIENCES EASILY AVOIDABLE IF LED BY GOD.

EVEN MORE SAD IS THE FACT THAT THE OFFICE MOST COVETED AND THEREFORE FILLED WITH MORE HYPOCRITES IS THAT OF MINISTER.

THE TITLE MINISTER CAN COVER MANY OFFICES THROUGHOUT THE CHURCH.

APOSTLES, PROPHETS, EVANGELIST, ELDERS, AND PERHAPS THE MOST DEADLY, AND SINISTER OF ALL IS THE SELF PROCLAIMED, OR MAN CALLED, AND APPOINTED PASTOR'S.

IF WE WERE ACCOUNTANTS, WEARING POLICE UNIFORMS AND STOPPING CARS, WE WOULD BE ARRESTED BY REAL POLICE FOR IMPERSONATING, OR HYPOCRITING AS POLICE.

I AM AWARE THAT SOCIETY NO LONGER UTILIZES THIS WORD IN THAT FASHION, BUT THAT DOESN'T RENDER IT'S EXISTENCE AND DEFINITION NULL AND VOID.

WHEN WE PRETEND TO BE WHAT WE ARE NOT, WE ARE HYPOCRITES.

JUST AS WE CAN NOT IMPERSONATE THE SWORN IN, POWER WIELDING, OFFICIALLY AUTHORIZED AND ORDAINED OFFICER, WITHOUT SEVERE REPERCUSSIONS, WE CAN'T DO SO IN THE CHURCH WITH CALLED, ORDAINED POSITIONS WITHOUT EVEN MORE SEVERE REPERCUSSIONS.

IN CLOSING I WOULD LIKE TO OFFER A PROPHETIC WARNING TO THOSE FILLING MINISTERIAL POSITIONS YOU KNOW YOU WERE NOT CALLED, OR ORDAINED OF GOD TO FILL, ESPECIALLY PASTORS.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONISHMENT: EVERYONE HOLDING ECCLESIASTICAL, OR MINISTERIAL POSITIONS IN GOD'S CHURCH PLEASE PRAY FOR GOD'S UNBIASED EXAMINATION OF OURSELVES TO SEE IF WE ARE TRULY HOLDING POSITIONS GOD ORDAINED US FOR, AND INTENDED US TO FILL.

IF AFTER EXAMINATION WE DISCOVER WE MISSED HIS VOICE, WE ASSUMED POSITIONS ON OUR OWN, OR EVEN HAD THEM BESTOWED UPON US BY FAMILY, OR POPULAR OPINION, WE NEED TO ACT IMMEDIATELY.

THE PROPER REACTION WOULD BE TO REPENT, CONFESS, AND RESIGN.

IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT OUR REACTION BE IMMEDIATE TO PREVENT BEING FOUND HYPOCRITES WHEN THE LORD RETURNS, OR BEFORE WE LEAD MORE ASTRAY BY IMPERSONATING WHAT WE ARE NOT TRULY CALLED TO BE.

WE MUST REALIZE THAT PRIDE WILL CAUSE US TO KEEP POSITIONS WE KNOW WE ARE ILL QUALIFIED FOR TO PREVENT EMBARRASSMENT, BUT THE SAME PRIDE WILL KILL US AS HYPOCRITES SENDING US TO HELL.

SOME TRULY CALLED PASTORS MAY NEVER SHEPARD LARGE CHURCHES , BUT THAT'S NOT A INDICATOR OF THEIR ANOINTING, OR CALL.

JUST BECAUSE WE CAN DO A DECENT JOB IN SOME OF THESE OFFICES DOESN'T INDICATE GOD'S SEAL OF APPROVAL, OR PROOF OF RELATIONSHIP.

I PRAY THAT OUR EYES HAVE BEEN OPENED TO LOOKING FOR HYPOCRITES IN SOME NON-TRADITIONAL PLACES, AS WELL AS ALERTING US TO HOW MANY ARE IN THE FOREFRONT, AND NOT BECAUSE THEY ARE SMOKING, DRINKING, CUSSING, FORNICATING, COMMITTING ADULTERY. LYING, STEALING, OR FIGHTING.

IT IS BECAUSE THEY ARE PRETENDING.

PRETENDING TO BE OUR MINISTERS, EVANGELIST, APOSTLES, PROPHETS, AND YES OUR PASTORS.

SO NOW THAT WE REALIZE HYPOCRITES ARE MORE THEN WE THOUGHT WE MUST NOW ASK THE QUESTION.

WHERE ARE THE HYPOCRITES

HOW I GOT HERE

2009-12-29T19:21:00.000-08:00

TODAY I WILL JUST SAY THANK YOU TO THE LORD FOR BRINGING ME THROUGH THIS YEAR.

I LOOKED AT THE CLOCK THIS EVENING AT APPROXIMATELY 10:30 PM AND REALIZED THAT LAST YEAR AT THAT EXACT HOUR MY FIRST BORN DAUGHTER HAD PASSED AWAY 5 HOURS PRIOR.

I HAD NO WORDS TO EXPRESS MY GRIEF, PAIN, AND DESPAIR AT THAT TIME, NOR DO I POSSESS THE WORDS TO DESCRIBE THOSE STILL FRESH EMOTIONS NOW.

IT IS UNBELIEVABLE TO ME THAT I CAN STILL RECALL THE EVENTS OF THAT SADDEST OF ALL DAYS IN MY LIFE AS THOUGH IT WERE TODAY.

WHATS MORE UNBELIEVABLE IS THAT I SURVIVED, SANITY INTACT, I THINK, AND ABLE TO SOMEHOW FUNCTION AT WHAT APPEARS TO BE A NORMAL LEVEL OF COMPETENCY.

THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO TAKE THE TIME TO THANK THE LORD FOR TODAY.

THE WAY GOD TOOK ME FROM DAY TO DAY, AND ALLOWED ME TO MAINTAIN A PEACE THAT DEFINITELY SURPASSED MY UNDERSTANDING IS WORTH ALL OF THE THANKS, PRAISE, AND WORSHIP I CAN MUSTER UP TO GIVE HIM.

I HONESTLY CAN NOT DESCRIBE TO THE WORLD HOW I FUNCTIONED, AND MADE IT THROUGH THIS YEAR.

MONTHS, WEEKS, DAYS, HOURS, MINUTES, AND EVEN SECONDS ARE BLURS IN MY MEMORY, BUT I HAD TO LIVE, AND SURVIVE THEM BECAUSE I'M HERE.

ONLY GOD CAN DO WHAT HE DID FOR ME IN THESE TRYING TIMES, AND I'M EVER SO GRATEFUL FOR HIS CARRYING ME, INSPITE OF ME.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONISHMENT: STORE UP ALL YOU CAN ABOUT GOD DURING THE FAT YEARS, BECAUSE WHEN LIFE, PEACE, AND JOY ARE RARE IN THE LEAN YEARS THEN WE WILL NEED TO COUNT ON OUR SPIRITUAL RESERVES TO TAKE US THROUGH.

I ADMIT THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES THAT I DIDN'T FEEL LIKE PRAYING, OR SIMPLY COULDN'T PRAY, BUT GOD KNEW ME BASED ON OUR PREVIOUS RELATIONSHIP.

PLACE ALL OF OUR TRUST IN GOD, AND HE WILL NOT ABANDON US WHEN WE NEED HIM MOST.

I STILL MISS, AND CRY ABOUT MY DAUGHTER, BUT GOD SUPPORTS ME DAILY.

REAPING (PART III)

2009-12-28T20:16:00.000-08:00

Galatians 6:8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

IN FURTHERING OUR LOOK AT REAPING, TODAY WE WILL EXAMINE THE THE REAPING THAT FOLLOWS THE ONLY TWO OPTIONS TRULY AVAILABLE TO US.

FOR ALL OF SEEMINGLY MYRIAD OF CHOICES AVAILABLE TO US HERE ON EARTH IF WE WERE TO FUNCTIONALLY CATEGORIZE THEM THE OPTIONS WOULD BE NARROWED DOWN TO TWO.

WE ARE EITHER CATERING TO OUR FLESH OR TO THE HOLYSPIRIT.

PAUL NOT BEING ONE FOR THE MINCING OF WORDS HAS CUT TO THE CHASE BY ALSO NARROWING THE REPERCUSSIONS, OR REAPING FOR THIS CATERING DOWN TO TWO OPTIONS OR RESULTS.

AFTER ALL IS SAID AND DONE OF OUR LIVES ON THIS EARTH, IT WILL ALL BOIL DOWN TO EITHER CORRUPTION, OR EVERLASTING LIFE.

NO PURGATORY, NO REINCARNATION, NO HAUNTING OR ROAMING THE EARTH AS GHOST, NO TO GOOD FOR HELL, BUT TO BAD FOR HEAVEN STATUS, OR TO BAD FOR HEAVEN, BUT TO GOOD FOR HELL STATUS.

AT THE END, WE WILL EITHER BE SENTENCED TO CORRUPTION, OR ETERNAL LIFE.

GOD MAKES THIS VERY PLAIN THROUGH PAUL, AND CLEAR TO US RIGHT NOW AS WE READ THIS TODAY.

WHEN WE ALWAYS ALLOW THE FLESH TO HAVE IT'S WAY, WHETHER IT'S SINFUL OR NOT WE ARE BUILDING A PATTERN FOR FAILURE, AND HEADING FOR CORRUPTION.

FOOD, NOR TELEVISION BY THEMSELVES IS BAD, BUT WHEN WE CONSTANTLY EAT EVERY TIME WE DESIRE, OR ALLOW OURSELVES TO WATCH ANY, AND EVERYTHING THAT COMES ON TELEVISION WE ARE CONDITIONING OUR FLESH TO BELIEVE IT CAN CRAVE AND BE FED WITHOUT RESTRAINT.

SO THEN WHEN TEMPTATION PRESENTS ITSELF AS SIN FLESH WILL ALSO BELIEVE IT SHOULD FED WHEN, AND HOW MUCH IT DESIRES.

I MUST INFORM YOU THAT UNLIKE OUR STOMACH THAT WILL EVENTUALLY BECOME FULL, OUR FLESH WILL RARELY, IF EVER BE SATISFIED WITH ENOUGH SIN.

IN OUR EFFORT TO SATIATE THE VORACIOUS APPETITE FLESH HAS FOR SIN, IT IS AT THAT TIME, THAT WE WILL BEGIN OUR JOURNEY TO CORRUPTION.

ON THE OTHER HAND THOUGH THE SPIRIT DESIRES THE THINGS OF GOD, WHICH OF COURSE IS GOOD BECAUSE GOD IS GOOD.

IN OUR FULFILLING THE SPIRITS NEED TO SEEK THE FATHERS FACE, AND TO DESIRE ALL THINGS PLEASING TO HIM, WE THEN BECOME PLEASING TO HIM.

THE END RESULT OF THIS TYPE OF LIFESTYLE WILL LAND US IN LIFE EVERLASTING.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION: IN USING A PAUL LIKE APPROACH I WILL CUT TO THE CHASE AND SIMPLY STATE "DOING WHAT WE WANT, WILL PLACE US WHERE WE DON'T WANT".

I WILL ALSO STATE, "SURRENDERING OUR LIFE, FOR GODLY LIFE, WILL GAIN US LIFE, EVERLASTING".

EVERYONE WILL, AND MUST REAP, WHAT WILL OUR REAPING BE ?

REAPING (PART II)

2009-12-27T18:47:00.000-08:00

Job 4:8 Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same.

MANY WONDER WHY SO MUCH PAIN, SUFFERING, AND SORROW VISITS THEIR LIFE AS THOUGH THEY WEREN'T PRESENT WHEN THEY WERE DOING ALL OF THE PLOWING, AND SOWING SPOKEN OF IN THIS PASSAGE OF SCRIPTURE.

THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS THAT GOD'S WORD WILL NEVER RETURN UNTO HIM VOID.

Isaiah 55:11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

SO WE SEE IN THIS PASSAGE OF SCRIPTURE THAT IF GOD STATES SOMETHING TO BE THEN IT WILL BE REGARDLESS OF WHAT WE THINK, SAY, OR DO IN ATTEMPTS TO VOID IT.

Galatians 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

IN OTHER WORDS YOU, NOR I, WILL EVER MAKE GOD LOOK FOOLISH, LIKE A LIAR, OR POWERLESS.

PAUL CLEARLY STATES THAT IF WE WERE TO BE ABLE TO AVOID REAPING WHAT WE HAVE SOWN THEN GOD WOULD BE BEING MOCKED BY MERE MORTALS, AS THOUGH HIS WORD WAS TO KNOW AVAIL.

THE POINT TODAY BROTHERS AND SISTERS IS THAT WE WILL REAP WHAT WE HAVE SOWN.

IRREGARDLESS OR WHETHER WE HAVE BEEN BAPTIZED IN JESUS NAME, FILLED WITH THE HOLYSPIRIT, A TEACHER, PREACHER, DEACON, USHER, OR EVEN A PASTOR.

WE MUST REAP IN ORDER FOR GOD'S WORD TO BE TRUE.

SO THEN THE NEXT TIME WE ARE SITTING AROUND LICKING OUR WOUNDS AND FEELING SORRY FOR OURSELVES WE SHOULD SIMPLY REVISIT OUR PAST.

IF WE EXAMINE SOME OF OUR OWN PAST DEVILMENT WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO GRASP A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF WHY WE ARE AFFLICTED.

THE GOOD THING FOR THOSE OF US THAT ARE NOW CHILDREN OF GOD IS THAT OUR REAPING WILL BE METED OUT WITH GOD'S GRACE AND MERCY.

CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW WE WOULD BE MOANING, GROANING AND COMPLAINING IF WE WEREN'T SAVED, AND OUR REAPING WAS METED OUT AS UNTO BASTARDS ?

LET'S REALIZE THAT WE TRULY HAVE REASON TO GIVE THANKS IN THE MIDST OF OUR WORST TIMES.

AS BAD AS THEY ARE NOW THEY WOULD BE MULTIPLIED WITHOUT OUR HAVING BEEN CONVERTED, ADOPTED CHILDREN OF THE ALMIGHTY GOD.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONISHMENT: WE MUST REAP BECAUSE IT IS A PRINCIPLE OF GOD, AND PART OF HIS IMMUTABLE WORD.

WE MUST REALIZE THAT NOT ONLY FOR PAST DEEDS MUST WE REAP, BUT FOR THE DEEDS DONE TODAY THAT WE FAIL TO CONFESS, AND ASK GOD'S FORGIVENESS FOR AS HIS CHILDREN

THANK GOD FOR THE SIN CLEANSING BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST, AND THE FORGIVENESS AFFORDED THE CHILDREN OF THE FAITHFUL GOD.

REAPING

2009-12-26T05:23:00.000-08:00

Psalms 126:5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

THIS MAY BE THE BEGINNING OF A SERIES ON THE MANY LESSONS OF REAPING WHICH IS SOMETHING WE ALL WILL DO, THE QUESTION IS WHAT WILL WE REAP?

IN THIS PSALM WE SEE THAT IF LIFE HAS SERVED US A MYRIAD OF REASONS TO CRY THAT WE ARE TO LOOK FORWARD TO THE JOY'S PROMISED AFTERWARD.

MOST OF LIFE'S TEARS ARE PRECIPITATED BY HEARTBREAK, DISASTER, TRAGEDY, LOSS, GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT, LONELINESS, AND NEGATIVE EVENTS BEYOND OUR CONTROL, OR DUE TO OUR OWN NEGLECT, AND/OR POOR DECISIONS.

THOUGH I AM AWARE OF TEARS OF JOY, FROM MY OWN LIVE'S EXPERIENCES THE MAJORITY OF EVERY TEAR EVER SHED IN MY LIFE HAVE NOT BEEN TEARS OF JOY.

IN ALL HONESTY I AM STILL AWAITING MY JOY, WHICH I'M SURE THE ULTIMATE JOY REFERRRED TOO HERE IS THE JOY OF BEING WITH THE LORD ETERNALLY.

I WOULDN'T BE HONEST THOUGH IF I FAILED TO GIVE THE LORD CREDIT FOR THE JOY I HAVE EXPERIENCED IN BETWEEN THE TEARS SHED.

GOD IS A VERY GOOD GOD, AND HE HAS BEEN EXCEEDINGLY GOOD TO ME INSPITE OF MY TEARS, BUT I ADMIT I AM STILL PURSUING AN EVEN GREATER JOY THEN I HAVE YET TO FIND HERE ON EARTH.

THANKS BE TO GOD, AND THIS PSALM THOUGH YOU AND I CAN BE CONFIDENT THAT OUR EARTHLY TEARS ARE NOT IN VAIN.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONISHMENT: GO ON AND CRY, THE PSALMIST, AND GOD KNEW WE WOULD, BUT BE ENCOURAGED BECAUSE WE WILL REAP JOY BEFORE IT'S ALL SAID AND DONE.

ANSWERS OR SOLUTIONS ?

2009-12-25T04:53:00.000-08:00

THERE ARE TIMES WHEN WORDS SIMPLY CAN NOT CONVEY THE EMOTIONAL DEPTHS EXPERIENCED IN LIFE.

IT IS DURING THESES TIMES THAT I'VE LEARNED, AND CONTINUE TO LEARN TO SIMPLY SAY THANK YOU LORD.

FORTUNATELY GOD KNOWS, AND SEES OUR HEARTS FOR MORE THEN SIMPLY JUDGING OUR MOTIVES, BUT HE ALSO KNOWS OUR HURTS, CONCERNS, FEARS AND ANYTHING ELSE BEYOND OUR VERBAL CAPABILITIES.

SO WHEN I'M SPEECHLESS DUE TO BURDENS, TROUBLES, HURTS, PAINS, DISTRESS, SADNESS, CONFUSION, DESPAIR, LONELINESS, OPPRESSION, SUPPRESSION, OR JUST PLAIN CRIED OUT.

THESE AFOREMENTIONED, AND ANY OTHER EXPRESSION STEALING EMOTIONS CAN ALL BE SUMMED UP, DECIPHERED, PROCESSED, AND ACCEPTED BY THE ALL KNOWING, EVER PRESENT, FORGIVING, AND LOVING GOD, WITH A SIMPLE THANK YOU JESUS, AND THEN HE'LL DO THE REST.

HOW CAN THAT GET ANY BETTER, OR EASIER.

GOD WILL DO IT ALL IF WE BUT ACKNOWLEDGE HIM IN THANKS !

1Thessalonians 5:18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION: FROM THIS POINT ON WE SHOULD FEEL COMPELLED TO GIVE THANKS WHEN THINGS ARE BAD, INSTEAD OF ASKING WHY.

ISN'T GOOD THAT WE SERVE A GOD THAT KNOWS OUR THOUGHTS AFAR OFF, SO THAT HE'LL KNOW EXACTLY WHY IT IS WE ARE SAYING THANK YOU WHEN WE SHOULD BE ASKING WHY !

Psalms 139:2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.

ASKING WHY MAY GET US AN ANSWER, BUT SAYING THANK YOU WILL BRING A SOLUTION .

ARE WE RUNNING, OR ROARING ??

2009-12-24T11:53:00.000-08:00

Proverbs 28:1 The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.

THE WISE KING SOLOMON SAID A MOUTH FULL WHEN MAKING THIS COMMENT, AND IT ALL WAS SAID IN ONE SENTENCE, WITH FEW WORDS.

OFTEN WE SPEAK IN CIRCLES, AND FAR TO MUCH DETAIL TO SAY WHAT CAN BE SAID IN SECONDS IF WE WOULD JUST BE STRAIGHT WITH ONE ANOTHER.

THERE'S A LOT TO BE SAID FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE HONEST, DIRECT, INSIGHTFUL, AND WISE.

WE SHOULD ALSO BE CONSIDERATE OF OTHERS FEELINGS, BUT NOT TO A FAULT.

SOLOMON OBVIOUSLY OBSERVED THESE TRAITS IN INDIVIDUALS POSSESSING THESE CHARACTERISTICS, AND FEELING THE NEED TO INFORM, AND EDUCATE HE RECORDED IT.

MORE THEN LIKELY IN THE HOPES THAT THIS KNOWLEDGE WOULD CAUSE OUR SELF-EXAMINATION, THEREBY ALLOWING US TO NOT BE FOUND IN A WICKED THAT CONDITION, CAUSING US TO FLEE UN-NECESSARILY.

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN ACCUSED OF DESIRING, OR COVETING POSSESSIONS, OR THE SPOUSE OF ANOTHER WHEN THAT WAS NEVER EVEN ON YOUR MIND.

THOUGH I'M NO SOLOMON, I HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH THE DETECTION SKILLS, AND EXPERIENCES THAT HAVE ALLOWED ME TO WITNESS THE EVIL HEART, AND MIND AT WORK.

I'VE DISCOVERED THAT THOSE THAT STEAL, HAVE THE BIGGEST LOCKS, AND THOSE THAT CHEAT, NEVER TRUST THEIR MATES.

TO GO ALONG WITH THESE EXAMPLES WE CAN ADD THAT A LIAR WILL RARELY BELIEVE YOU, AND A PERSON THAT ATTAINED THEIR STATUS BY ILL MEANS, BELIEVES YOU WILL UNDERMINE THEM TO GAIN OURS OR THEIR POSITIONS.

THAT IS WHY SOLOMON ACCURATELY REPORTS THAT THE WICKED WILL FLEE WHEN NOT PURSUED.

WICKED PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS ON THE RUN, AND NEVER FEEL SAFE IF ONLY IN THEIR MINDS DUE TO THEIR BELIEF THAT SOMEONE IS ALWAYS AFTER THEM, AND THEIRS.

THE WICKED IS ALWAYS IN A CONSTANT STATE OF FLEEING BECAUSE DEEP INSIDE THEY KNOW THEY DESERVE TO BE CAUGHT, AND PUNISHED, BUT WHO REALLY WANTS THAT ?

ON THE OTHER HAND THOUGH THE RIGHTEOUS CAN DIG IN, STAND THEIR GROUND, AND ROAR LIKE A LOIN, DECLARING WHAT IS RIGHT AND WRONG FOR ALL TO HEAR, WITHOUT APOLOGY.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION: ARE WE ALWAYS LOOKING OVER OUR SHOULDERS AWAITING THE FALL OF THE JUDGES AXE, OR ARE WE ABLE TO STAND ON THE WORD, AND LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY ?

FINALLY BROTHERS, AND SISTERS IT COMES DOWN TO THESE TWO DO OR DIE QUESTIONS.

ARE WE WICKED OR RIGHTEOUS ?

ARE WE RUNNING, OR ROARING ?

THERE ARE BETTER BLESSINGS !

2009-12-23T12:38:00.000-08:00

LIVING OUR LIVE'S WITHOUT GOALS, DREAMS, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY GODLY VISIONS, PURPOSE, AND DESTINY WILL CAUSE US TO AIMLESSLY WANDER.

WE WILL ROAM LIKE THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL DID IN THE WILDERNESS FOR FORTY YEARS.

WHAT A TRAVESTY, 40 YEARS FOR WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A 3 DAY JOURNEY.

THOUGH THEY HAD A DESTINATION, GOAL, AND VISION, THEY FAILED TO COMPLETELY GRASP IT, CAUSING THEM TO POSSESS A DEFEATIST MINDSET.

THEY ALSO WERE PRONE TO MOANING, GROANING, AND COMPLAINING BECAUSE OF THEIR LACK OF FAITH, AND POOR ATTITUDES.

IN OTHER WORDS THEIR WILDERNESS EXPERIENCE WAS ALLOWED OF GOD, BUT SELF-IMPOSED DUE THEIR ACTIONS, OR IN-ACTIONS.

HOW MANY OF US LACK DIRECTION, PURPOSE, VISION, ETC....AND HAVE REPEATEDLY FAILED TO SEEK GOD'S WILL, TRUST HIS WORD, AND JUST FLAT OUT LACK FAITH IN HIS ABILITY TO DELIVER US THE IMPOSSIBLE ?

ARE WE WANDERING IN SELF-IMPOSED WILDERNESSES ?

IS GOD SIMPLY ALLOWING IN OUR LIVE'S, SITUATIONS HE NEVER INTENDED FOR US TO ENDURE, BROUGHT ON BY OUR OWN LACK OF FAITH, MUMBLING, GRUMBLING AND DISOBEDIENCE ?

WE NEED TO GROW TIRE OF THESE WILDERNESS DAYS, AND STOP SAYING WE ARE BLESSED BECAUSE OUR SHOES, AND CLOTHES HAVEN'T WORN OUT, AND BECAUSE WE HAVE MANNA, AND QUAIL.

GRANTED THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL SHOULD HAVE BEEN GRATEFUL FOR THE BLESSINGS PROVIDED, BUT THEY WERE BLESSINGS IN THE MIDST OF SELF-IMPOSED
TRIALS.

ARE WE RUNNING AROUND AS THOUGH WE ARE VICTORIOUS BECAUSE OF A FEW LITTLE BLESSINGS, WHEN ALL ALONG THE BIGGER, BETTER BLESSINGS ARE TIED UP IN OUR INITIAL OBEDIENCE, FAITH, AND OVERALL ATTITUDES.

SURE QUAIL, AND MANNA ARE FINE BUT GENUINELY LIVING LIKE A KINGS CHILD HAS GOT TO BE FULL OF FAR MORE PERKS THEN THE SURVIVAL RATIONS OF DISOBEDIENT CHILDREN IN SOME WILDERNESS.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION: LET'S STOP BEING SATISFIED WITH THE BLESSINGS THAT MERELY ALLOW FOR SURVIVAL, AND BEGIN LIVING THE LIFE OF A KINGS CHILD, RECEIVING THE BLESSINGS OF OBEDIENCE, AND ABUNDANCE.

THE BLESSINGS I AM REFERRING TO ARE NOT TO BE LAVISHED UPON OURSELVES, BUT THEY WILL UNDOUBTEDLY BRING ALONG SOME FRINGE BENEFITS, WHEN USED TO BLESS AND BUILD THE KINGDOM OF GOD, AS WE BECOME THE GLORY OF GOD.

WE ARE TO BE GRATEFUL FOR ALL BLESSINGS BUT, THERE ARE BETTER BLESSINGS. THEN WILDERNESS BLESSINGS.

ESPECIALLY WHEN WE PLACED OURSELVES IN THE WILDERNESS.

THE ULTIMATE STEWARD

2009-12-22T13:19:00.000-08:00

YESTERDAY MY INTENTIONS WERE TO SPEAK ON STEWARDSHIP FROM A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE, BUT AS I BEGAN THE LORD LED ME IN ANOTHER DIRECTION, WHICH LED TO " WILL THE REAL WICKED AND SLOTHFUL SERVANT PLEASE STAND".

SO TODAY I WILL ATTEMPT TO SHARE WHAT THE LORD SHARED WITH ME YESTERDAY, BUT WOULDN'T ALLOW ME TO SHARE UNTIL TODAY.

WHEN IT COMES TO ANYTHING THE LORD REQUIRES OF US, WE CAN REST ASSURED THAT HE NOT ONLY DOES IT HIMSELF, BUT HE UNDOUBTEDLY DOES IT AT
A FAR SUPERIOR LEVEL THEN OUR FINEST OF EFFORTS CAN PRODUCE.

AS I THOUGHT ON MY RECENTLY PASSED DAUGHTER, I THOUGHT ON HOW SPECIAL SHE WAS TO ME AND OUR FAMILY.

SHE WAS UNIQUELY TALENTED, CARING, FUNNY, GIFTED, LOVING, AND EXTREMELY PERSONABLE, WHICH HAD ME THINKING WHAT A WASTE THAT THE WORLD NO LONGER HAD HER HERE TO BLESS US WITH HER PRESENCE.

IT WAS AT THAT TIME THE LORD WHISPERED IN MY SPIRIT THAT NOT AN IOTA OF HER SPECIAL UNIQUENESS HAS BEEN WASTED, THEN HE PROCEEDED TO BREAK IT DOWN FOR ME.

GOD ALLOWED ME TO SEE THAT THE PAIN AND SUFFERING ENDURED BY HER WHILE ON EARTH WAS FOR HER MAKING, AS WELL AS THE OTHER EXPERIENCES HER LIFE AFFORDED HER.

HE THEN ASKED ME HOW COULD HE BE JUST IF HE ALLOWED US TO LIVE AND DIE ON THIS EARTH TO FORM SUCH BEAUTIFUL SAINTS AS MY DAUGHTER WAS, ONLY TO ALLOW THE FINALLY FINISHED PRODUCT TO NEVER BE ENJOYED, OR IMPACT OTHERS, OR EVEN GOD HIMSELF AGAIN ?

THIS WAS WHEN THE LORD INSTILLED IN ME THE FACT THAT HE IS THE KEEPER OF SOULS, AND JUST LIKE WE ARE TO STEWARD OVER ALL ENTRUSTED TO US, HE LIKEWISE DOES THE SAME WITH THE SOULS ENTRUSTED TO HIM.

IT THEN BECAME PLAIN, THAT IF GOD SIMPLY ALLOWED THE SUFFERING FOR THIS EARTH HE BE A TORTURER, AND NOT A SAVIOR, BUT HE IS A SAVIOR BECAUSE THE SUFFERING IS DESIGNED AS AN ESCAPE, NOT DESTRUCTION.

THE LORD BEING A WISE STEWARD WOULD NEVER WASTE THE SOUL THAT HAS ENDURED THIS WORLDS PAIN, SUFFERING, TEST AND TRIALS TO MATURITY, AND COMPLETION IN HIM AND THEN DISCARD IT.

THOUGH I AM STILL VERY MUCH GRIEVING, AND MOURNING MY DAUGHTERS LOSS, I GAINED A NEW MEASURE OF UNDERSTANDING, WHICH BRINGS A MEASURE OF PEACE WITH IT IN RELATION TO MY DAUGHTERS PLACE IN CHRIST.

SO OFTEN WE HEAR TAUGHT, AND PREACHED AT FUNERALS THAT TO BE ABSENT FROM THIS BODY IS TO BE PRESENT WITH THE LORD, WHICH IS TRUE.

NOW I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT I GENERALLY HEAR A GREAT EMPHASIS BEING PLACED ON THE PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTES OF OUR EARTHLY BODIES, AND HOW WE WILL BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY EACH OTHER IN HEAVEN, WHICH IS ALSO TRUE.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONISHMENT: TODAY I REALIZE THAT MORE IMPORTANTLY THEN MY SEEING MY DAUGHTER AGAIN AND RECOGNIZING HER PHYSICALLY, THAT SHE WILL VERY MUCH STILL HAVE HER PERSONALITY WHICH WAS COMPLETED AND MATURED IN CHRIST PRIOR TO HIM CALLING HER HOME.

WHAT THIS MEANS IS THAT I WILL BE ABLE TO NOT SEE HER, BUT HEAR HER TALK OR LAUGH, AND BEFORE I TURN AROUND KNOW THAT IT IS THE VOICE OR LAUGHTER OF MY DAUGHTER THAT DISCUSSED ISSUES WITH ME, AND RODE MY BACK HORSEY STYLE.

THE JUST LORD HAS PRESERVED, AND STEWARDED WELL OVER HER AND WHEN REUNITED WE WILL BE ABLE TO PICK UP ON CONVERSATIONS AS THOUGH WE NEVER HAD AN INTERRUPTION.

WHY WOULD HE SPEND ALL OF OUR TIME ON EARTH TELLING US TO L,OVE ONE ANOTHER ONLY FOR US NOT TO LOVE EACH OTHER IN ETERNITY ?

HE WOULDN'T !

ONCE SAVED OUR SOULS ARE IN THE HANDS OF THE ULTIMATE STEWARD, PRESERVING US FOR HIS GLORY, BUT DUE TO HIS GOODNESS ALSO BECAUSE OF HIS LOVE TOWARDS US SO WE CAN CONTINUE LOVING EACHOTHER FOR ETERNITY.

WILL THE REAL WICKED AND SLOTHFUL SERVANT PLEASE STAND-UP

2009-12-21T12:27:00.000-08:00

Mat 25:26 His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed:

IN MATTHEW 25:26 THE LORD TELLS OF A PARABLE WHERE AN INDIVIDUAL THAT FAILED TO WISELY ATTEND TO HIS MASTERS TALENT WAS REFERRED TO AS A WICKED AND SLOTHFUL SERVANT.

THOSE ARE RATHER HARSH WORDS TOWARDS A MAN THAT DIDN'T ROB OR STEAL FROM THE MASTERS COFFERS.

THIS MAN WAS SIMPLY GUILTY OF BURYING WHAT WAS GIVEN HIM BY THE MASTER.

AFTER CLOSER EXAMINATION WE WILL DISCOVER THAT THE MASTER DIDN'T EVEN GIVE INSTRUCTIONS WITH THE TALENT'S.

THE LORD STATES, HE GAVE THEM TALENTS ACCORDING TO THEIR ABILITIES, AND THEN HE LEFT.

ONE WOULD THINK, THIS WOULD EXEMPT THE SERVANT FROM SUCH A HARSH CRITICISM SINCE HE WAS LEFT UP TO HIS OWN DEVICES TO DO AS HE WOULD WITH HIS ALLOTTED TALENT.

AS I'M SURE MOST, IF NOT ALL ARE AWARE THAT WE ARE TO SEE OURSELVES IN THE LORDS PARABLES THAT WE MAY LEARN FROM THE PARABLES EXAMPLES THE MORALS OF THE STORY.

THE OBVIOUS LESSON IS THAT ALL WILL BE REQUIRED TO GIVE ACCOUNT FOR WHAT IT IS WE DO WITH THE TALENTS ALLOTTED US.

ONE OF THE NOT SO OBVIOUS LESSONS IS, EVEN WITHOUT DIRECT ORDERS OF WHAT TO DO WITH OUR TALENTS AND ABILITIES, WE ARE STILL GOING TO BE CALLED ON THE CARPET BY OUR MASTER.

IF WE SHARED, AND ENJOYED THE PROPER RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR MASTER WE WOULD KNOW WHAT TO DO WHETHER HE SPECIFICALLY SPOKE IT OR NOT.

THE HIDDEN MORAL THAT REQUIRES A PROPHETS ILLUMINATION FOR MOST, IS THAT THIS PARABLE IS MORE ABOUT RELATIONSHIP THEN IT IS TALENT !

JESUS STATES THAT THE MASTER TOLD THE SERVANT THAT HE KNEW WHAT KIND OF MAN HE WAS, THEREFORE HE SHOULD HAVE DONE WHAT HE KNEW HIS MASTER EXPECTED, NOT WHAT HE SPOKE, OR DIDN'T SPEAK.

IT WAS THE FACT THAT HE KNEW THE MASTER, AND STILL REFUSED TO DO WHAT HE KNEW WOULD PLEASE HIM REGARDLESS OF WHETHER IT WAS SPOKEN OR NOT THAT MADE THIS SERVANT WICKED AND SLOTHFUL.

I. THE SERVANT WAS WICKED BECAUSE SOMEWHERE IN HIS HEART HE DECIDED THAT HE WOULD REBEL AGAINST WHAT HE KNEW THE MASTER WOULD LIKE.

II. THE SERVANT WAS THEN CALLED SLOTHFUL BECAUSE AT THE VERY LEAST HAD HE SIMPLY ALLOWED THE BANKERS TO BE AWARE OF THE TALENT THEY COULD HAVE PROVIDED HIM INTEREST WITH ZERO EFFORT ON HIS BEHALF.

PROPHETS COME TO BRING ORDER, AND ORDER BEGINS WITH KNOWLEDGE, AND
UNDERSTANDING, BOTH OF WHICH ARE THE FOUNDATIONS OF WISDOM.

JESUS TOLD THE DISCIPLES THAT HE USED PARABLES TO CONFOUND THE WISE, AND THE SUPPOSED WISE HAVE FOR MILLENNIUM BEEN TEACHING THAT THIS PARABLE WAS ABOUT TALENTS, BEING WICKED AND SLOTHFUL, AND WHO KNOWS WHAT ELSE THEY'VE TAUGHT.

TODAY THOUGH THE LORD HAS SENT HIS RHEMA WORD TO REVEAL TO US THAT HIS PRIMARY CONCERN WITH US IS OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.

THE TALENTS ARE SIMPLY TOOLS FOR THE UP BUILDING OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD WHICH WE ARE ALWAYS SPEAKING OF.

MY QUESTION IS HOW MANY OF US GREAT KINGDOM BUILDERS HAVE EVER STOPPED TO REALIZE THAT WITHOUT SUBJECTS THERE IS NO KINGDOM, AND WITHOUT RELATIONSHIP THERE CAN BE NO SUBJECTS.

JESUS IS THE ULTIMATE KINGDOM BUILDER, AND HIS PURPOSE WAS NEVER TO HAVE A BUNCH OF TALENTED FOLLOWERS, BUT TO HAVE RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS FOLLOWERS.

WHY WOULD GOD NEED US TO BE TALENTED WHEN HE IS OMNIPOTENT ?

TALENTS ARE A MEANS, OR GAGE BY WHICH TO QUALIFY US, JUST LIKE TEST, AND QUIZZES IN SCHOOL ARE TO REVEAL WHAT WE HAVE RETAINED IN CLASS AND DETERMINE IF WE ARE WORTHY OF THE NEXT GRADE.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION: IT IS NOW TIME TO TAKE OUR EYES OFF OF THE TALENTS, AND PLACE OUR EYES, HEART, AND MINDS ON THE GIVER OF THE TALENTS.

GOD DESIRES WE KNOW HIM SO WELL THAT WE CAN MOVE ON HIS BEHALF WITHOUT DIRECT INSTRUCTION BECAUSE WE HAVE BECOME MEN AFTER HIS OWN HEART.

THERE IS ONE MORE THING I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT IN THIS VERSE, AND THAT IS THE FACT THAT THE MASTER DID SOMETHING OFTEN OVERLOOKED BY THE SUPPOSED WISE TEACHERS ALSO.

Mat 25:15 And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.

NOTICE THE TALENTS WERE DISTRIBUTED ACCORDING TO EACH MANS ABILITY.

WHAT THIS MEANS IS THAT GODS JUDGEMENT IS JUST.

GOD WON'T JUDGE US FOR NOT BEING A SURGEON SINCE HE DIDN'T GIFT US WITH SURGEONS HANDS.

NOR WILL GOD JUDGE US FOR NOT BEING EINSTEIN, SINCE HE DIDN'T GIFT US WITH EINSTEINS BRAIN.

BUT, GOD WILL JUDGE US FOR BEING PASTORS, WHEN HE ONLY BLESSED US WITH DEACON ABILITIES.

LET'S LEARN THE WORD, WHICH WILL HELP US LEARN GOD, WHICH IN TURN WILL LEAD TO RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD, WHO WILL THEN TRUST US DUE TO OUR RELATIONSHIP AND REVEAL OUR PURPOSE.

ONCE OUR PURPOSE IS KNOWN IT IS THEN THAT WE DECIDE TO RETURN IT TO GOD THAT HE MAY USE IT FOR HIS GLORY, OR WE CAN REBEL AND HIDE, OR DENY WHAT IT IS WE KNOW HE DESIRES FROM US.

ONLY SECONDS FROM BLESSINGS !

2009-12-20T19:36:00.001-08:00

WHEN GOD DECIDES TO MOVE ON OUR BEHALF, HE CAN DO IN MINUTES, OR SECONDS WHAT WE HAVE PRAYED FOR, BELIEVED IN, GIVEN UP ON, DOUBTED, AND PRAYED FOR AGAIN BEFORE WE CAN EVEN REALIZE IT'S DONE.

Habakkuk 2:3 though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.

IN THIS FINAL CLAUSE OF THE VERSE THE LORD IS REVEALING THAT OUR VISIONS, AND PROMISES WILL BE ON HOLD, BUT INSTEAD OF GIVING UP WE ARE INSTRUCTED TO WAIT.

THE WAITING IS SIMPLY A PART OF THE PROCESS, BUT IT IS NOT IN VAIN BECAUSE THE PROPHET STATES IT (THE VISION/PROMISE) IS SURE TO COME.

THAT ELIMINATES ALL GUESS WORK, AND/OR DOUBT, IT WILL SURELY COME.
SURELY IS A DEFINITIVE STATEMENT, ONE WITHOUT ROOM FOR WAVERING.

ALL OF THIS IS GOOD NEWS, BUT TODAY I FOCUS ON THE SWIFTNESS OF GOD'S MOVING ON OUR BEHALF ONCE THE PRESCRIBED TIME OF TARRYING (WAITING)
IS COMPLETE.

GOD JUST WANTS TO SEE IF WE WILL LEARN HIS WORD, LEAN ON IT, AND TRUST HIM TO DELIVER ON EACH AND EVERY PROMISE HE HAS SPOKEN INTO OUR LIFE'S.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONISHMENT: WHEN IT'S TIME FOR OUR VISIONS, AND PROMISES TO COME TO FRUITION, THERE IS NO FORCE ON EARTH THAT CAN PREVENT THE BLESSINGS OF GOD FROM COMING TO PASS.

GOD DESIRES THAT WE LEARN HIS WORD, LEAN ON HIS WORD, AND TRUST IN HIS WORD, THESE ARE THE TOOLS NECESSARY TO WAIT ON THE BLESSINGS REGARDLESS OF THE SITUATIONS.

THE PROMISES OF GOD ARE LIKE THE VAULTS OF BANKS, THEY ONLY OPEN AT THE PREDESTINED TIME, IT IS THEN THAT ACCESS TO THE MONEY INSIDE IS POSSIBLE.

OUR PREDESTINED BLESSINGS ARE THE SAME, THEY WILL ONLY COME TO PASS AT THE ALLOTTED TIME, IN THE APPOINTED PLACE, AND THEN WE WILL HAVE ACCESS TO THEM.

ONLY GOD KNOWS THE TIME, AND ONLY GOD HAS THE ABILITY TO BRING THE BLESSINGS TO PASS.

AT THE TIME THE BLESSINGS WILL NOT ONLY BECOME OBVIOUS, BUT THEY WILL LITERALLY OVERTAKE US.

Deuteronomy 28:2 And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.

IF WE WAIT, WITHIN SECONDS WE CAN GO FROM TEST AND TRIALS, TO BLESSINGS, AND SMILES

WATCH WHERE YOU'RE POINTING !

2009-12-19T14:59:00.000-08:00

TODAY OUT OF THE CLEAR BLUE AS I WAS MEDITATING ON THE LORD, AND JUST WHAT HE WOULD HAVE ME OFFER FOR TODAY'S ENTRY, I BELIEVE HE SPOKE INTO MY SPIRIT THAT I'VE BEEN ANGRY WITH HIM.

I WILL BE THE FIRST TO ADMIT THAT 2009 HAS NOT BEEN AN EASY YEAR FOR ME, DUE TO THE EVENTS OF THE SECOND HALF OF 2008, AS WELL AS MAJOR EVENTS IN 2009.

STILL I WOULD NOT HAVE THOUGHT OF MYSELF AS HAVING BEEN MAD AT THE LORD, BUT WHO AM I TO DOUBT THE LORD IF HE SAY'S IT'S SO ?

GIVING MY YOUNGEST DAUGHTER IN MARRIAGE WAS NO LIGHT FEAT FOR ME.

THIS WAS NOT DIFFICULT TO HER CHOICE IN HUSBAND, IT WAS SIMPLY THE FACT THAT ANOTHER WOULD NOW BE REQUIRED TO LOVE, PROTECT, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY BE HER SPIRITUAL COVERING.

THESE WERE JOBS I HELD HER ENTIRE LIFE, AND TOOK EXTREMELY SERIOUS, SO NEEDLESS TO SAY I FELT A LOSS, AND AN APPREHENSION.

ON TOP OF THAT THOUGH MY OLDEST DAUGHTER PASSED AWAY AND I DISCOVERED A HURT, CRUSHING, AND SHATTERING I NEVER EVEN KNEW EXISTED ON EARTH.

MY DAUGHTERS PASSING IS WHY THE LORD SAYS I AM ANGRY AT HIM.

I DO MISS HER BEYOND WORDS, BUT JUST RECENTLY I WAS ASKING MYSELF IF I MISS HER MORE, OR DO I MISS THE THE MISSED OPPORTUNITIES MORE, AND I COULDN'T SAY THEN, NOR CAN I NOW.

I DO LITERALLY ASK THE LORD TO KEEP ME FROM THINKING TO MUCH, FOR FEAR IF I STARTED TO CRY I SERIOUSLY DOUBT MY BEING ABLE TO STOP.

I'M JUST AMAZED, AND DISAPPOINTED IN MYSELF THAT I COULD FIND THE NERVE TO ACTUALLY BE MAD AT THE GOD THAT HAS REPEATEDLY FORGIVEN ME, AND LOOKED BEYOND MY FAULTS TO SEE, AND ATTEND TO MY NEEDS.

IF IT WEREN'T FOR THE LORD I WOULD HAVE NEVER KNOWN MY DAUGHTER, OR HAD HER FOR THE TIME IN MY LIFE THAT I DID, AND YET HERE I'VE BEEN HARBORING SOME WELL CAMOUFLAGED ANGER IN MY HEART AGAINST THE ONLY ONE THAT CAN BRING ME THROUGH THIS HEARTACHE, PAIN, AND DESPAIR.

I HAVE KNOW IDEA OF WHERE THIS IS GOING , OR WHY I'M EVEN SHARING THIS BUT I AM GRATEFUL THAT THE LORD HAS TOLD ME OF THIS ANGER THAT I MAY APPROACH HIM FOR FORGIVENESS, AND ASK FOR HIS DELIVERANCE FROM THIS .

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO GRIEVE, AND I DEFINITELY DON'T KNOW HOW TO MEND MY OWN SHATTERED HEART, BUT I KNOW I DON'T WANT TO LIVE WHATS LEFT OF MY LIFE BEING ANGRY WITH THE GOD THAT BY HIS GRACE HAS BOUGHT ME THIS FAR DURING THE MOST TRYING TIMES OF MY LIFE.

WE NEED TO ALWAYS BE ON GUARD FOR DESTRUCTIVE EMOTIONS, AND THOUGHTS IN OUR HEART.

THESE CAN LAY HIDDEN IN OUR HEARTS FOR YEARS BECAUSE THE HEART IS DECEITFUL AND DESPERATELY WICKED ACCORDING TO THE WORD:

Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things , and desperately wicked: who can know it?

2 DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONISHMENT: HOW CAN WE EVER ADVANCE, AND GROW IN THE LORD WITH ANGER IN OUR HEARTS, ESPECIALLY AGAINST THE ONLY ONE THAT CAN HEAL, DELIVER, AND FORGIVE US OF THIS ANGER.

TODAY I MUST APPLY THE WORD I SO OFTEN QUOTE TO YOU, TO MYSELF.

Hebrews 12:1 and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, (NEXT TO LAST CLAUSE IN VERSE)

I GUESS THE PRIDE OF LIFE HAS CREPT IN AND BESET ME.

WHAT ELSE, OTHER THAN PRIDE COULD GIVE ME THE UNMITIGATED GALL TO BE ANGRY AT THE ALL MIGHTY GOD.

I KNOW IT'S FAIR TO SAY THAT WE WILL NEED GOD BEFORE HE WILL NEED US.

SATAN IS SO SHREWED THAT HE HAS LEARNED TO HIDE PRIDE RIGHT IN THE OPEN AND SO MANY OF US FALL PREY TO THE OBVIOUSLY INVISIBLE.

I'M GRATEFUL FOR STILL KNOWING THAT STILL SMALL QUITE VOICE THAT I COULD BE WARNED ABOUT THE ANGER.

IT IS WISDOM THAT EVEN WHEN WE LOSE ALL THAT WE COUNT NEAR, AND DEAR TO US WE MUSTN'T POINT OUR FINGERS AT GOD IN ANGER !

R & R TIME

2009-12-18T12:12:00.000-08:00

LET'S LEARN TO TAKE SOMETIME TO RENEW OURSELVES IN THE LORD BY SETTING ASIDE A DAY OR TWO EVERY NOW AND THEN JUST TO BE WITH OUR FATHER.

EVERY GENERAL KNOWS THAT THE EASIEST ARMY TO DEFEAT IS A TIRED ARMY.

WHEN AN ARMY FACES A SUPERIOR FORCE, IT IS A COMMON TACTIC TO MAKE NUMEROUS LITTLE ATTACKS TO KEEP THE LARGER ARMY ON THEIR TOES, AND DENYING THE REST REQUIRED TO BE ALERT.

ATTACKS OF THIS NATURE ARE NOT NECESSARILY TO GAIN VICTORIES, OR EVEN INFLICT CASUALTIES, BUT SIMPLY A MEANS OF DEPRIVING THE FOE OF NECESSARY REST.

SAINTS NEED TO SET UP DATE NIGHTS WITH THE LORD AS WE DO WITH OUR SPOUSES, OR AS WE SHOULD DO.

THAT'S WHY WE NEED TO SET ASIDE DAYS FOR GOD, AND GOD ALONE.

THESE ARE SIMILAR TO R & R DAYS FOR COMBAT TROOPS.

R & R STANDS FOR REST AND RELAXATION, SO THAT TROOPS CAN GET AWAY FROM THE SOUNDS OF GUN FIRE, AND BOMBS BURSTING.

TROOPS RETURNING FROM R & R ARE USUALLY REFURBISHED, RE-ENERGIZED, RENEWED, AND RECOMMITTED TO THE TASK, AND VICTORY.

HAVE WE ALLOWED FATIGUE TO GIVE SATAN THE UPPER HAND IN OUR LIVES.

HAVE WE BEEN SUBJECTED TO SPIRITUAL BOMBS, AND GUN FIRE TO LONG WITHOUT A SESSION WITH THE FATHER TO RE-NEW, RECHARGE, REFURBISH, AND RECOMMIT US TO OUR TASK OF WINNING OUR BATTLES HERE ON EARTH THAT WE MAY MAKE IT TO HEAVEN.

WE MUST BECOME AWARE OF THE SIGNS OF BATTLE FATIGUE BEFORE SATAN MAKES US INTO CASUALTIES OF SPIRITUAL WARFARE, WHERE WE THROW UP OUR HANDS AND SAY WHATS THE USE ?

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONISHMENT: ARE WE SHELL SHOCKED, OR GUN SHY FROM REPEATED ATTACKS FROM SATAN.

HAS THE SPIRITUAL GUERRILLA WARFARE TAKEN IT'S TOLL ON US AND WE NEED SOME TIME IN GOD'S R & R ?

NEVER TAKE FOR GRANTED THE LASTING BENEFITS OF JUST A FEW HOURS ALONE WITH THE LORD, LET ALONE THE BENEFITS OF A FEW DAYS IN HIS PRESENCE !

LETS CHECK OUR CALENDERS AND SET UP R & R DATES WITH THE LORD !

FORK'S FOR SOUP ?

2009-12-17T12:27:00.000-08:00

Jer 18:4 And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.

Jer 18:5 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

Jer 18:6 O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the LORD. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel.

IN THIS PASSAGE GOD WAS SPEAKING DIRECTLY TO ISRAEL, BUT IT CAN BE APPLIED TO US TODAY AS WE STRIVE TO MEASURE UP TO GOD'S CRITERIA.

I BELIEVE IT'S SAFE TO SAY THAT MOST, IF NOT ALL THAT ARE PROFESSING CHRISTIANITY, AND STRIVING TO LIVE A LIFE PLEASING TO GOD HAS AT SOME TIME OR ANOTHER WONDERED WHY THINGS WERE AS THEY WERE IN OUR LIVE'S AT SOME PARTICULAR TIME.

THOSE TIMES WHEN EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE GOING WRONG EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE WALKING UPRIGHTLY, AND LIVING ALL YOU KNOW IN THE LORD.

THE TIMES WHEN WE FEEL AS THOUGH WE COULDN'T GO ONE STEP FURTHER, OR ENDURE ONE MORE TEST, OR TRIAL.

JUST AS IN THE ABOVE PASSAGES OF SCRIPTURE WHERE GOD WAS SHAPING, AND MOLDING ISRAEL, HE USES THE SAME PATTERN IN OUR SHAPING AND MOLDING.

WE, LIKE ISRAEL ARE ALREADY MADE VESSELS WITH OUR OWN WAY'S, AND HABITS.

THOUGH WE'VE DONE THINGS, AND HAVE LIVED WITH THINGS FOR YEARS AS THOUGH THEY WERE ALRIGHT, WE WERE ACTUALLY FAULTY, FLAWED, OR WARPED JUST LIKE SOME POTTERY IS.

SINCE THIS POTTERY IS ALREADY MADE, IT MAY REQUIRE BREAKING TO FIX, BUT MOST TIMES IT IS SIMPLY SUBJECTED TO THE NECESSARY FORCE, AND PRESSURE REQUIRED TO RE-SHAPE, RE-MOLD, AND MADE USEFUL FOR THE POTTERS PURPOSE.

NOTICE IT IS NOT ALWAYS BROKEN, BUT IT CAN BE.

ALSO TAKE NOTE THAT IT IS RE-MADE FOR PURPOSES DESIGNATED BY THE POTTER HIMSELF, AND NOT LEFT UP TO THE CLAY WHAT IT WOULD LIKE TO BE MADE INTO.

WE, LIKE THE CLAY, AND MORE SO ISRAEL ARE IN NEED OF BREAKING FOR SOME, AND WATER AND PRESSURE TO BE RE-SHAPED, AND RE-MOLDED.

YOU DO REALIZE THAT POTTERS USE WATER TO SOFTEN CLAY AND MAKE IT MORE PLIABLE.

GOD USES BAPTISMAL WATER TO SOFTEN OUR HARDEN HEARTS, BEFORE HE REALLY BEGINS THE RE-MOLDING INTO HIS PURPOSE PROCESS.

I SHOULD ALSO POINT OUT THAT THE WATER, AND THE RE-SHAPING ARE ALL DONE PRIOR TO THE FURNACE FOR THE SETTING.

JUST AS IN THE NATURAL CLAY, WE AS SAINTS MUST ENDURE EACH AND EVERY CYCLE OF THE PROCESS IF WE ARE EVER TO BECOMES USEFUL VESSELS OF THE MASTER POTTER, GOD !

SO WHEN LIFE SEEMS TO BE GOING HAYWIRE, AND NOTHING APPEARS TO BE IN OUR FAVOR WE SHOULD BEGIN TO PRAISE THE LORD FOR WE NOW REALIZE HE IS SIMPLY APPLYING THE NECESSARY PRESSURE TO MOLD US INTO USEFUL VESSELS FOR HIS GLORY.

BE THANKFUL WE ARE NOT BEING BROKEN, THOUGH SOME MUST BE BROKEN COMPLETELY AND THEN MOLDED.

WHATEVER OUR CASE THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT GOD OBVIOUSLY WANTS TO USE US IN AN EVEN GREATER CAPACITY OR WE COULD STAY AS WE ARE.

FORTUNATELY OUR POTTER IS PERFECT, AND NEVER APPLIES TO GREAT OF A PRESSURE, OR LEAVES US IN THE FURNACE TO LONG.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONISHMENT: WE SHOULD ALL UNDERSTAND THAT THE SECOND WE ASK THE LORD TO USE US THE PRESSURE BECOMES NECESSARY.

AS WE ARE, WE ARE NEVER READY FOR EFFECTIVE MINISTRY BY GOD'S STANDARD.

THE GREATER THE CALL, OR WORK THE GREATER THE PRESSURE WILL BE, RIGHT DOWN TO A BREAKING, AND SHATTERING IF NECESSARY.

DON'T FRET BROTHERS AND SISTERS, GOD IS THE MASTER POTTER AND HE NEVER MAKES A MISTAKE.

IF WE ATTEMPTED TO MOLD OURSELVES INTO A PASTOR, BUT HIS PURPOSE FOR US IS AS A USHER, THE PRESSURE WILL BEGIN, AND BE APPLIED TO RE-MOLD WHAT WE TRIED TO SHAPE INTO THE SHAPE HE KNOWS WE WILL BE MOST EFFECTIVE.

GOD MAY EVEN NEED TO BREAK US BECAUSE WE JUST MAYBE SO FAR FROM THE DESIRED SHAPE, OR USEFULNESS.

IF WE ATTEMPT TO EAT SOUP WITH A FORK, WISDOM WILL TELL US TO GET A SPOON, THAT IS HOW SO MANY OF US ARE.

MANY TIMES WE ARE FORKS ATTEMPTING TO DO A SPOONS WORK, BUT GOD WANTED US AS SPOONS ALL ALONG.

ARE WE FORKS FOR SOUP ?

LIVING AND LEARNING

2009-12-16T17:07:00.000-08:00

OUR GREATEST WITNESS WILL NEVER COME OUT OF THE BIBLE, OR IN THE STREETS WITH STRANGERS.

MOST SAINTS ARE OF THE BELIEF THAT WE ARE NOT TRULY DOING GOD'S WORK OF WITNESSING TO OUR FELLOWMAN, UNTIL WE PAIR UP IN TWOS AND GO DOOR TO DOOR, OR INTO THE STREETS TO TELL STRANGERS ABOUT JESUS AND HIS PLAN OF SALVATION.

THE SAD FACT OF THE MATTER IS THAT EVEN THOUGH MOST CHRISTIANS BELIEVE THIS TO BE OUR COMMISSION, AND THAT TO BE THE MANNER OF WITNESSING, MOST STILL DON'T DO IT.

SO EVEN WITH OUR FLAWED SENSE, AND METHOD'S OF WITNESSING WE ARE AT BEST INCORRECT, AND AT OUR WORSE DISOBEDIENT, AND DERELICT IN WHAT WE BELIEVE OUR DUTIES, AND CALL TO BE.

WHATS WRONG WITH US ?

WHY WOULD WE FIRST OF ALL BELIEVE GOD WOULD CALL US TO WITNESS TOO, AND SAVE STRANGERS MORE THEN OUR OWN FAMILY, FRIENDS, AND LOVED ONES ?

DO WE TRULY BELIEVE GOD WANTS US TO PUT ON SUIT AND TIES TO LEAVE OUR HOMES WITH UNSAVED FAMILY TO GO OUT AND TELL STRANGERS TO BE SAVED.

HOW ARE OUR LOVED ONES TO BE SAVED, OR WITNESSED TO ?

SHOULD THEY STAY AT HOME IN THE HOPE THAT SOME STRANGER WILL KNOCK ON OUR DOOR IN OUR ABSENCE TO WITNESS TO OUR LOVED ONE'S ABOUT BEING SAVED ?

OF COURSE I'M BEING FACETIOUS, BUT IT'S BECAUSE WE ARE SO GUILTY OF DOING SUCH OFF OF THE MARK THINGS WHEN IT COMES TO FOLLOWING, AND SERVING THE LORD.

THIS COMES FROM BEING LAZY SAINTS.

TO LAZY TO RESEARCH GOD'S, MEANING, PURPOSE, AND SPIRIT BEHIND HIS WORDS.

SAINTS SHOULDN'T SIMPLY BE ACCEPTING THE REGURGITATED SPEWING'S OF PASTORS, PREACHERS, AND TEACHERS THAT ARE THEMSELVES TO LAZY TO RESEARCH IF THEIR REGURGITATING OF OTHERS TEACHINGS, AND PREACHING TO EVEN BE ACCURATE.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONISHMENT: OUR GREATEST WITNESS WILL ALWAYS BE IN OUR OWN HOMES, OR WITH THOSE THAT KNEW US PRIOR TO SALVATION.

WE WILL NEVER BE MORE EFFECTIVE IN OUR WITNESS THEN WITH THOSE WE SPEND THE MOST TIME, AND KNOW US BEST.

STRANGERS MAY HEAR US, BUT THEY DON'T KNOW US TO BE LIVING WHAT WE'RE PREACHING.

IT'S A DIFFERENT STORY WITH THE CLOSE RELATIONSHIPS THOUGH, BECAUSE THEY WILL KNOW IF YOU PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH.

LAST, BUT DEFINITELY NOT LEAST IS THE ADMONISHMENT TO CEASE FROM TAKING THE RANTING, RAVINGS, SO CALLED PREACHING, AND TEACHING OF PASTORS, AND PREACHERS WITHOUT KNOWING FOR OURSELVES WHAT THE WORD SAID, AND THE CONTEXT AND SPIRIT IN WHICH THEY WERE SAID.

NOW LET'S GO WITNESS TO THE WORLD, NOT WITH OUR WORDS, BUT BY OUR LIVE'S !

WE NEED TO LEARN, AND LIVE THE WORD OF GOD.

FAITH + FOCUS = MINISTRY

2009-12-15T12:02:00.000-08:00

Matthew 6:11 Give us this day our daily bread.

I BELIEVE MOST IF NOT ALL ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE SAYING "ONE DAY AT A TIME".

WELL WHETHER THE WORD, OR EVEN THE CHURCH IS AWARE OF IT OR NOT, THAT SAYING IS RATHER CLOSE, EVEN ALMOST SYNONYMOUS WITH CHRIST PRAYER EXAMPLE, AND GODLY PRINCIPLE.

JESUS HIM SELF INSTRUCTED THE DISCIPLES TO ONLY BE CONCERNED WITH BREAD ENOUGH FOR TODAY.

SOME HAVE TAUGHT THAT THIS IS BECAUSE HE DIDN'T WANT US ATTEMPTING TO PLAN FOR TOMORROW, WHEN IN ACTUALITY HE WAS TEACHING THEM TWO THINGS.

1.) WAS TO LIVE IN TODAY, AND NOT ASSUME WE WOULD EVEN SEE TOMORROW.

2.) WAS TO HAVE THE FAITH TO BELIEVE THAT IF WE DID REACH TOMORROWS THAT GOD'S AMPLE PROVISIONS WOULD REACH THERE WITH US, AS WE PRAY THEM DOWN FROM HEAVEN.

THOUGH I REALIZE THE VERSE FROM MATTHEW THE COLLECTOR WILL SUFFICE, I ACTUALLY PREFER LUKE THE PHYSICIANS WORDING BEST.

Luke 11:3 Give us day by day our daily bread.

LUKE'S WORDING MAKES THE PROCESS ALL THE MORE CONCISE IN MY HUMBLE OPINION.

IF WE ARE ONLY ASKING FOR BREAD DAY BY DAY, IT MAKES IT CLEAR THAT WE SHOULD NOT DO ANY PLANNING FOR THE NEXT DAY.

WITH OUR PRIMARY FOCUS BEING TODAY WE ARE BETTER SUITED TO DEAL WITH THE TEST, TRIALS, TRIBULATIONS, AND OPPORTUNITIES TO MINISTER TO OTHERS AS THEY APPEAR THROUGHOUT THE DAY.

IF WE ARE BUSY PRAYING FOR TOMORROWS BREAD TODAY, WHO WILL PRAY FOR TODAY'S NEEDS IF WE'RE DISTRACTED PRAYING FOR A HUNGER THAT HASN'T YET REACHED OUR BELLY'S.

IN CLOSING, LET'S ALL LISTEN TO THE LORD'S PRINCIPLE AND LIVE IN THE MOMENT LEAVING THE REST TO HIM.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION: IF WE WOULD ALLOW GOD TO BE GOD, AND WE SIMPLY FULFILL OUR ROLES IN LIFE, WE WILL LIVE WITH OUR EYES WIDE OPEN FOR DISCERNMENT.

WE ALSO WILL HAVE OUR EARS TUNED IN TO THE STILL SMALL QUIET VOICE OF THE LORD.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST WE WILL ALWAYS BE READY TO MINISTER AS OPPORTUNITIES ARISE.

THOUGH THIS LESSON IS OBVIOUSLY ABOUT FAITH, IT IS ALSO ABOUT FOCUSING ON THE NOW, AND NOT ANTICIPATED HUNGERS, THAT GOD CAN SATISFY IF WE SIMPLY DON'T ASK AMISS AS THEY ARRIVE.

NO PODIUM NEEDED !

WE OFTEN BELIEVE THAT WE MUST BE INVOLVED IN BIG ELABORATE EVENTS IN ORDER TO MINISTER, OR STANDING BEHIND A PULPIT, OR IN FRONT OF A CROWD.

THOUGH THESE ARE LEGITIMATE FORMS OF MINISTRY, THEY ARE THE LEAST LIKELY, AS WELL AS THE LEAST EFFECTIVE MEANS OF MINISTRY.

CHRIST DID HAVE CROWDS, BUT HE DIDN'T USE PODIUMS TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE.

WHAT CHRIST DID DO WAS HE MOVED BY COMPASSION, WHICH CAUSED HIM TO MINISTER AT THE MOST OPPORTUNE TIME, BUT IN SOME OF THE MOST INCONVENIENT, PUBLIC, AND UNPLANNED PLACES.

SOME OF OUR MOST DYNAMIC DISPLAYS OF GOD'S MIRACLES, SIGNS, AND WONDERS ARE WAITING FOR US NOT IN OUR MEGA-CHURCHES, CONVENTIONS, SEMINARS, REVIVALS, OR CRUSADE, BUT RIGHT IN THE STREETS OF YOUR CITY, OR TOWN.

GOD IS EVERYWHERE SO WE SAY, SO THEN WHY DO WE NEVER EXPECT HIM TO SHOW UP TO HEAL OR DELIVER AT WAL-MART, OR POP-EYES CHICKEN ?

WHY DO WE BELIEVE GOD ONLY MOVES WHEN WE HAVE ON SUITS AND ARE IN A CHURCH ?

WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR, SOMEONE ELSE TO DO IT ?

WE CLAIM TO BE CHILDREN OF GOD, SAVED, AND SANCTIFIED ETC... SO WHATS THE HOLD UP ?

THE HOLD UP IS US, AND OUR LACK OF FAITH, AS WELL AS OUR LACK OF A GENUINE CHRIST LIKE LIFESTYLE.

IF WE ARE CHRISTIANS, THEN WE ARE CHRIST LIKE.

IF CHRIST LIKE THEN WE WILL DO LIKE CHRIST AND PRAY FOR THE SICK, AND BOUND WHENEVER OPPORTUNITY ARISES, JUST LIKE CHRIST.

TODAY I PRAYED FOR A BROTHER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET WITH MY VEHICLE STILL RUNNING AS HE WAS OWN HIS WAY TO MEET WITH SOME ACCOUNTANTS OVER MONEY HE OWES THE GOVERNMENT.

I COULD SEE, AND HEAR HIS APPREHENSION, AND HE IS NOT SAVED, BUT HE KNEW I WAS.

AS WE SHOOK HANDS TO DEPART I SIMPLY HELD ON TO HIS AND ASKED IF I COULD PRAY FOR HIM.

AT THE END OF THE PRAYER HE WAS SO GRATEFUL, AND AWED BY THE WORDS OF THIS SPIRIT CHARGED AND INSPIRED PRAYER THAT HE APPEARED TO BE VISIBLY MORE AT EASE.

BEFORE LEAVING HE ASKED IF HE COULD BE APART OF A BIBLE STUDY IF I STARTED ONE.

SO YOU SEE EVEN WITHOUT SEEING THE END RESULTS OF THAT PRAYER HE WAS ALREADY BEING DRAWN INTO THE KINGDOM, AND ISN'T THAT THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF MINISTRY, TO WIN SOULS ?

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONISHMENT: GOD IS WAITING ON US TO CALL ON HIM, IN STRANGE PLACES, FOR STRANGERS, AND HE WILL DO THE REST.

LET'S GO OUT INTO THE STREETS, AND LIKE ELIJAH CALL FIRE DOWN FROM HEAVEN THAT THE IDOL WORSHIPPERS MAY SEE WHO IS THE ONLY TRUE GOD !

WE DON'T NEED A PODIUM TO PROVE WE SERVE THE TRUE AND LIVING GOD !

ALL THAT MATTERS

2009-12-13T12:44:00.000-08:00

I'M PRAYERFUL THAT I MUST BE ON THE VERGE OF SOME FANTASTIC BREAKTHROUGH WITH THE LORD, NOW THAT I AM FAR TO TIRED TO CONTINUE ON, AND FAR TO BROKEN TO QUIT.

SOUNDS LIKE ANOTHER IDEAL TIME FOR STANDING, BUT THAT REQUIRES A MEASURE OF RESOLVE AS WELL.

WHAT IS A CHILD OF GOD TO DO WHEN THERE'S NOTHING TO DO, BUT DO NOTHING.

I KNOW, THIS IS A DEVOTION, AND I'M ALWAYS SUPPOSED TO BE ON THE MOUNTAIN TOP, OR LEAPING OVER WALLS, AND CONQUERING HOARDE'S OF DEMONS SINGLE HANDEDLY.

UNFORTUNATELY FOR THE READERS OF THIS I AM ONLY ABLE TO ONE PERSON AT A TIME, AND I CHOOSE TO JUST BE ME.

WHAT THAT MEANS IS THAT THERE ARE TIMES THAT I DON'T FEEL SO SPECIAL, OR
UNFORSAKEN.

THERE ARE EVEN TIMES I DON'T FEEL AS THOUGH I HAVE GOD'S FAVOR, OR EVEN HIS ATTENTION AS FAR AS THAT GOES.

MANY MAY BELIEVE THAT SPEAKING ONLY IN VICTORIOUS TERMS IS THE BEST WAY TO MOTIVATE, AND ENCOURAGE OTHERS AS THEY STRUGGLE, AND PRESS IN THIS CHRISTIAN WALK.

I BEG TO DIFFER THOUGH, BECAUSE PERSONALLY I FIND IT A BIT DIFFICULT TO PLACE A LOT OF VALIDITY, OR WEIGHT IN WORDS SPOKEN BY INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED WHERE I AM IN LIFE.

HOW CAN I ENCOURAGE, OR MOTIVATE YOU TO HOLD ON IF I'VE NEVER HAD TO HOLD ON, OR BELIEVE GOD FOR A JOB, FINANCES, HEALTH ISSUES, OR FAMILY REMEDIES.

TODAY AND EVERYDAY I SIMPLY STRIVE TO BE THE VERY BEST ME THAT THE LORD HAS CALLED FOR ME TO BE.

IF THE FACT THAT I HAVE TRIALS, AND SLIGHT LAPSES IN ENTHUSIASM DURING THE INTENSITY OF BEING BROKEN, AND REMADE BY GOD, CAUSE YOU TO DOUBT MY EFFICACY AS A DEVOTIONAL AUTHOR, I PRAY YOU STAY WITH ME UNTIL THE END , BECAUSE GOD ALWAYS MANAGES TO SHINE SOME LIGHT BEFORE I CLOSE.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION: IT IS NOT IN OUR FEELINGS THAT WE POSSESS OUR MOST EFFECTIVE TESTIMONY, OR THE WORDS OF LIFE THAT WILL STRENGTHEN AND ENCOURAGE OTHERS.

IN OUR WILLINGNESS TO BE TRANSPARENT THROUGH HONEST REPRESENTATION OF OUR CIRCUMSTANCES, EMOTIONS, AND LAPSES OF JOY, AND EVEN GREAT FAITH THAT WE WILL BEGIN TO BE ABLE TO REACH OTHERS.

WHEN IT ALL IS SAID AND DONE WHETHER I FEEL LIKE IT, LOOK LIKE IT, WALK LIKE IT, OR TALK LIKE IT, I STILL BELIEVE GOD, AND THAT'S REALLY ALL THAT MATTERS.

BELIEVING GOD HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH FEELINGS, OR EMOTIONS, BUT ONCE AGAIN, BELIEVING IS ALL THAT MATTERS!

WHY DON'T I HAVE FAVOR ?

2009-12-12T10:22:00.000-08:00

Proverbs 14:9 Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous there is favor.

TODAY I WILL BE SHORT AND SWEET, OR MAYBE NOT SWEET, BUT IT WILL BE SHORT.

GOD DOESN'T ALWAYS NEED TO BE LONG AND DRAWN OUT, NOR DOES HE ALWAYS NEED TO BE DEEP, AND PHILOSOPHICAL, BUT HE DOES KNOW HOW TO GET HIS POINT ACROSS.

THIS WORD IS DIRECT AND TO THE THE POINT, AND IT IS FOR YOU, AND ME, SO TAKE HEED AND ACT ACCORDINGLY.

IF WE ARE STILL MAKING LIGHT OF OUR SIN'S BY CALLING THEM FAULTS, SHORT COMINGS, HABITS, ETC....WELL THEN GOD, NOT ME IS CALLING US FOOLS.

THE QUESTION TODAY IS ARE YOU A FOOL, IF YOU CONTINUE TO OVERLOOK GOD'S WORDS, AND ADMONITIONS, YOU ARE WALKING YOURSELF INTO HELL EYES WIDE OPEN.

ISN'T THAT FOOLISH ?

IT IS WHEN WE CEASE FROM SEEKING VENGEANCE, BEGIN FORGIVING ALL THAT TRESPASS AGAINST US, NO LONGER PRAY FOR PERSONAL OR MATERIAL GAIN, PLACE GOD FIRST IN OUR LIVE'S, FAST, PRAY, AND WALK UPRIGHTLY BEFORE GOD, AND FOLLOW, AND OBEY HIS WORDS TO TO THE LETTER, AND IN THE SPIRIT OF THE WORD, THEN WE ARE RIGHTEOUS.

THIS RIGHTEOUSNESS IS NOT OF OUR OWN DOING THOUGH, EVEN THIS IS ONLY POSSIBLE THROUGH GOD.

IT IS NOW THAT WE ARE RIGHTEOUS THROUGH HIS GRACE THAT WE WILL BEGIN TO SEE HIS FAVOR, SO WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ?

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION: GOD'S MERCY, AND GRACE ARE EVIDENT THROUGHOUT ALL OF THE EARTH, BECAUSE THE SUN SHINES, AND THE RAIN FALLS ON THE JUST AND THE WICKED, BUT GOD'S FAVOR IS RESERVED FOR THE
RIGHTEOUS.

IF YOU'RE LACKING GOD'S FAVOR TODAY, THEN CHECK YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS!

CHRISTIAN CONTRADICTION

2009-12-11T14:19:00.000-08:00

I FIND IT AMAZING THAT THOSE CALLING OURSELVES GOD'S CHILDREN EITHER DON'T LISTEN TO OUR FATHER VERY WELL, OR WE SIMPLY DON'T KNOW THE ONE WE CALL OUR FATHER.

BASED ON MY PERSONAL OBSERVATIONS I'M INCLINED TO BELIEVE THAT BOTH ARE THE CASE.

THIS IS SAID BECAUSE I BELIEVE MOST SO CALLED CHRISTIANS DON'T KNOW GOD THE FATHER.

THEY BELIEVE IN GOD THE DEITY, AND ARE FAMILIAR WITH SOME OF HIS EXPLOITS, AND THE LIKE, BUT AS FAR AS KNOWING HIM MOST DON'T.

MOST OF THE ONES ATTEMPTING TO KNOW HIM AREN'T LEARNING HIM AS THE FATHER HE DESIRES WE WOULD SEE, AND APPROACH HIM AS.

WE ALSO MUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE CATEGORY OF CHRISTIANS THAT FALL INTO THE CATEGORY OF THOSE THAT DON'T LISTEN TO HIM, ONCE WE HEAR HIM.

IT IS A SAD STATE THE CHURCH IS IN, AND THESE ARE TWO OF THE PRIMARY REASONS FOR THE CHURCHES DEMISE, AND WEAKENED STATUS.

THE SMALL PERCENTAGE OF CHRISTIANS THAT DO KNOW GOD, DON'T KNOW HIM IN THE VAIN HE DESIRES WE KNOW HIM.

THEN FROM THAT SMALL PERCENTAGE THAT ACTUALLY DO KNOW HIM IN SOME MODICUM, A LARGE PORTION OF THEM FALL INTO THE CATEGORY THAT WON'T LISTEN, HEED, OR OBEY.

THE LATTER CATEGORY WOULD BEST BE LABELED AS REBELLIOUS.

I SEE THE LORD IS LEADING ME BACK INTO A VERY POPULAR SUBJECT MATTER IN HIS MINISTRY THROUGH ME.

THAT TOPIC BEING OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD, THE FATHER, AND HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH US AS THE FATHER, AND OUR GOD.

THE CONTRADICTION LAID UPON MY HEART IN THIS WRITING IS IN REFERENCE TO HOW WE CHRISTIANS, SAINTS, AND CHILDREN OF GOD ARE QUICK TO MENTION HOW GOD IS OMNISCIENT, OMNIPRESENT, OMNIPOTENT, AND IMMUTABLE.

EACH OF THESE DECLARATIONS ARE WITHOUT A DOUBT TRUTH, AND WE WILL FOR THE MOST PART CONCEDE THE FIRST THREE, BUT WHY IS IT THAT WE WILL REPEATEDLY BELIEVE WE CAN CONTEST THE LAST CHARACTERISTIC I LISTED.

BEFORE I CONTINUE I WILL CONCEDE AT THIS TIME THAT THERE IS NO POSSIBLE I WILL BE ABLE COMPLETE THIS IN ONE WRITING, BUT PRAYERFULLY I WILL PROVOKE ALL THAT READ THIS TO THOUGHT, AS WELL AS TO RE-THINKING.

THE WORD IMMUTABLE ITSELF MEANS UNCHANGING YET WE HEAR ABOUT THE CHURCH BEING PROGRESSIVE, AND WITH THE TIMES.

WE HEAR OF GROUPS, OR SECTS IN THE BODY ATTEMPTING TO MAKE ACCEPTABLE IN THE CHURCH TODAY WHAT IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED IN THE WORD.

IF THE WORD IS GOD'S, AND GOD IS THE WORD, AND GOD DOESN'T CHANGE, OR MAKE MISTAKES, THEN HOW CAN HIS WORD CHANGE, BE WRONG, OR FOR THAT SAKE EVEN BE PROGRESSIVE.

SOMETHING PROGRESSES BECAUSE THERE IS ROOM FOR PROGRESSION, BUT GOD'S WORD, AND WORK BEING COMPLETED WHEN HE RESTED ON THE SEVENTH DAY HAS ZERO ROOM FOR PROGRESSION, ADVANCEMENT, OR IMPROVEMENT.

THIS MAY HAVE A LOT TO DO WITH PASTORS, BUT THE BODY AS WELL NEEDS TO BEAR BLAME FOR THE POLLUTION, OR BETTER YET THE SIN THAT HAS CREPT INTO THE CHURCH.

WE MUSTN'T THINK GOD'S WORD HAS WIGGLE ROOM.

THE BIBLE IS WITHOUT A DOUBT THE MOST AIRTIGHT, BINDING, INDISPUTABLE, AND COMPLETE CONTRACT IN EXISTENCE, BAR NONE.

NO MAN WILL WIN APPEAL IN GOD'S COURT, BECAUSE HE IS A JUST JUDGE, THAT WILL NOT ERR IN THE APPLICATION OF HIS LAW.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION: IT'S TIME FOR ALL OF US TO STOP TRYING TO CHANGE GOD'S MIND B Y OUR ATTEMPTING TO CHANGE HIS WORD.

EVEN IF WE REWROTE THE ENTIRE BIBLE, DON'T YOU BELIEVE GOD REMEMBERED VERBATIM WHAT HE SAID.

GOD'S WORDS, AND WAYS ARE IMMUTABLE BECAUSE HE IS PERFECT, AND HOW DO YOU IMPROVE ON PERFECTION?

HIS WORD IS THEREFORE IMMUTABLE BECAUSE HE, THE PERFECT ONE IS THE WORD, THEREFORE THE WORD LIKE HIM IS PERFECT.

THE WORD IS IMMUTABLE BECAUSE THE WORD IS BASED ON HIS HEART, AND PRINCIPLE, BOTH OF WHICH ARE PURE, AND PERFECT, THEREFORE ONCE AGAIN HOW CAN THAT BE IMPROVED UPON.

IT'S TIME WE GAIN DELIVERANCE FROM OUR PRIDE, AND ALLOW GOD TO CHANGE US.

LET'S STOP SAYING GOD IS IMMUTABLE, AND THEN CONTRADICTING OURSELVES BY ATTEMPTING TO CHANGE HIM !

NO WHERE TO GO !

2009-12-10T14:26:00.000-08:00

Joh 6:68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.

PETER ASKED THIS QUESTION OF JESUS AFTER THE LORD ASKED THE TWELVE IF THEY TO WOULD CEASE FROM FOLLOWING.

YOU SEE MANY, IF NOT MOST HAD TURNED FROM FOLLOWING CHRIST BECAUSE OF THE WORD HE HAD JUST FINISHED TEACHING ON WHAT IT TOOK TO FOLLOW THE HIM.

AFTER THESE CASUAL FOLLOWERS HEARD THE REQUIREMENTS THEY CHOSE TO OPT OUT AND GO HOME.

THEY DISCOVERED IN ONE LESSON WITH CHRIST WHAT OFTEN TAKES US YEARS TO LEARN, AND THAT IS THE FACT THAT BEING A TRUE DISCIPLE ENTAILS MORE THEN SIMPLY EATING OF THE LOAVES AND FISH, AND HEARING A GOOD WORD.

IF YOU ARE STILL OF THE BELIEF THAT SERVING, AND FOLLOWING CHRIST IS ALL MIRACLES, AND WONDERS, YOU ARE DEFINITELY STILL ON YOUR SALVATION HONEYMOON.

PETER ASKED TH4E OBVIOUS QUESTION THOUGH. AFTER HAVING BEEN WITH THE MASTER, THE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE THERE'S NOWHERE TO GO BUT DOWN.

THEREFORE AFTER BEING WITH THE ABSOLUTE GREATEST, WHERE WOULD YOU WANT TO GO ?

THE TRUTH IS AS PETER STATED IN HIS QUESTION, "THERE IS NO PLACE TO GO, FROM HERE".

PETER STATES THAT JESUS' WORD WERE THE WORDS OF ETERNAL LIFE, THEREFORE IF WE LEAVE ETERNAL LIFE, WE MUST OBVIOUSLY BE HEADED FOR ETERNAL DAMNATION.

PETER DID IT AGAIN, WITH HIS QUICK TO SPEAK, IMPULSIVENESS HE ANSWERED HIS OWN QUESTION.

JESUS YOU ARE LIFE, SO TO LEAVE YOU IS DEATH, GIVEN THE CHOICES, WHERE DO YOU THINK THERE IS FOR US TO GO ?

BELIEVE IT OR NOT, JUST LIKE IN THE BIBLE PEOPLE, CHRISTIANS, SAINTS, CONTINUE TO WALK AWAY FROM LIFE, SIMPLY BECAUSE THE FISH, BREAD, AND MIRACLES AREN'T A EVERYDAY OCCURRENCE.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION: WE'D BETTER BE SLOW TO TURN AND WALK AWAY FROM THE WORDS OF LIFE, BECAUSE WE HAVE NO GUARANTEE OF EVER BEING ABLE TO WALK BACK TO THEM.

LET'S REALIZE THAT TO LEAVE CHRIST DUE TO HIS STANDARDS DOESN'T RELIEVE YOU OF HIS STANDARDS.

IT SIMPLY MAKES US FACE THE JUDGEMENT SIDE OF HIS STANDARDS.

WITH THAT PROPHETIC REVELATION KNOWN NOW IT MAKES IT SO MUCH MORE PLAIN TO SEE THAT THERE IS NO ESCAPING OF CHRIST RULE.

STAY WITH THE LORD PEOPLE, THROUGH THE GOOD AND THE BAD, BECAUSE TRUTH IS CHRIST, AND TRUTH ALSO IS THAT "THERE IS NO WHERE TO GO" !

THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING!

2009-12-09T03:58:00.000-08:00

LAST YEAR THIS TIME I WAS MUMBLING, GRUMBLING AND COMPLAINING ABOUT THE FREQUENCY OF EMERGENCY ROOM VISITS, AND HOSPITAL STAYS NECESSARY FOR MY DAUGHTER.

THE TOLL OF TRANSPORTING, AND SPENDING TIME IN THE HOSPITAL HAD BECOME QUITE TAXING.

IT WAS EMOTIONALLY, AND PHYSICALLY FATIQUING, AND VERY, VERY SAD TO WATCH HER STRUGGLE THROUGH HER BATTLE AND NOT BE ABLE TO OFFER ANY COMFORT AS HER FATHER, AND SUPPOSED PROTECTOR.

MY LOVE FOR HER NEVER WANED, BUT THE FATIQUE, AND DISPAIR WAS BEGINNING TO MANIFEST AS FRUSTRATION, AND COMPLAINTS.

MY HANDS WERE TIED, WHAT WAS I SUPPOSED TO DO ?

SITTING AND WATCHING JUST ISN'T IN MY DNA. IT IS MY NATURE TO JUMP DIRECTLY IN THE FRAY, BELIEVING I CAN OFFER ASSISTANCE, AND RELIEF IN THE WORSE OF SCENARIOS.

FOR MANY YEARS I WAS A FIRST RESPONDER PROFESSIONAL FIGHTER AND I'M JUST BUILT TO HELP, TO RESPOND, AND TO RESCUE, BUT FOR MY DAUGHTER I WAS HELPLESS, RELOGATED TO ONLY TRANSPORT, AND TO VISIT, HOW FRUSTRATING!

BEING SO FRUSTRATED, MAGNIFIED MY FATIQUE, AND THAT LED TO COMPLAINING.

THIS YEAR WITH MY DAUGHTER HAVING PASSED, AWAY I WISHED SHE WERE HERE, AND IF I HAD STUMPS FOR LEGS, AND HAD TO CARRY HER TO AND FROM THE HOSPITAL ON MY BACK, I BELIEVE I WOULD SO WITHOUT A MURMUR OR COMPLAINT.

LAST YEAR I KNEW HOW DIFFICULT IT WAS TO LIVE WITH HER, AND HER DESEASE, BUT THIS YEAR I KNOW HOW DIFFICULT IT IS TO LIVE WITHOUT HER.

MY DAUGHTER WAS BEAUTIFUL AND BEAUTIFULLY SAVED, AND I THANK GOD TO NO END FOR THAT, BECAUSE I KNOW SHE IS NO LONGER IN PAIN, AND WITH THE MASTER.

SHE HAS ALREADY RUN HER RACE, AND FINISHED HER COURSE, NOW HER DADDY MUST DO THE SAME.

CHRISTMAS WAS ALWAYS BIG IN OUR HOUSE, AND I ALWAYS WENT ALL OUT SEARCHING FOR THE VERY BEST GIFTS MY DAUGHTERS ASKED FOR, AND COST WAS NEVER A FACTOR.

NOW I SEE THE VERY BEST GIFT MY WIFE AND I EVER GAVE OUR DAUGHTERS WAS THE GIFT OF INTRODUCING THEM TO THE LORD FROM CHILDHOOD.

THIS WAS TRULY THE ONE GIFT WE GAVE THAT KEPT ON GIVING, EVEN TO THIS DAY.

THOUGH WE DON'T SEE HER, THE GIFT OF JESUS IS GIVING HER ETERNAL LIFE EVEN NOW!

TO THE VERY END, INSPITE OF HER PAIN AND SUFFERING, MY BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER OF 28 YEARS WAS PRAISING GOD IN HER WRITINGS, HER SONGS, AND MOST OF ALL HER LIFESTYLE THAT TOUCHED AND MOVED SO MANY, INCLUDING ME.

MY ONLY COMFORT IS IN KNOWING THAT THE FATHER OF ALL FATHERS NEVER MAKES A MISTAKE, AND HE SAW FIT TO END HER SUFFERING ON EARTH, CALLING HER TO FINALLY BE WHOLE, AND WITH HIM.

NOW SHE HAS EXPERIENCED TRUE FATHERLY LOVE, THE KIND THAT DOESN'T MUMBLE, COMPLAIN, OR GROW FRUSTRATED.

IF I RUN OUT OF EVERY REASON TO PRAISE GOD FOR MYSELF, I CAN ALWAYS FIND A PRAISE FOR HIM FOR WHAT HE DID FOR MY BABY, AND HOW HE' HAS SUSTAINED MY VERY SANITY THROUGHOUT THIS ALMOST 1 YEAR OF GRIEF, MOURNING, AND LOSS.

I'M NOT ASHAMED TO SAY THAT I'VE BEEN CRYING THE ENTIRE TIME I'VE BEEN TYPING THIS, AND I'M SURE I'LL CRY SOMEMORE, BUT MY TEARS ARE BECAUSE I MISS HER, AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO TELL HER THINGS I WISHED I HAD, OR TO SIMPLY EXPRESS THEM BETTER.

I IMAGINE GOD IS SIMPLY ALLOWING ME A SMATTERING OF HOW HE MUST GRIEVE, AND MOURN OVER US AS HIS CHILDREN.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:

GIVE THANKS TODAY LIKE IT IS YOUR LAST DAY ON EARTH

LIVE TODAY LIKE IT IS YOUR LAST DAY ON EARTH.

LOVE TODAY LIKE IT WAS YOUR LAST DAY ON EARTH.

FORGIVE TODAY LIKE IT IS YOUR LAST DAY ON EARTH.

HOW HELPLESS THE FATHER OF HEAVEN MUST FEEL, WHEN HE CAN ONLY TRANSPORT AND VISIT US, BECAUSE WE NEVER TRULY INVITE, OR ALLOW HIM INTO OUR LIVE'S.

LET'S GIVE OUR CHILDREN THE ONE GIFT THAT TRULY KEEPS ON GIVING, THAT GIFT IS JESUS.

LET'S PLEASE OUR FATHER !

2009-12-08T14:31:00.000-08:00

HOW SAD GOD MUST BE TO HAVE CHILDREN LIKE US.

WE'RE UNAPPRECIATIVE, INCONSIDERATE, DISOBEDIENT, REBELLIOUS, OBSTINATE, AND EMBARRASSING TOO NAME BUT A FEW THINGS.

I KNOW HOW MY HEART HURT WHENEVER MY CHILDREN DISAPPOINTED ME, AND I MUST SAY THAT I WAS BLESSED TO HAVE CHILDREN THAT SELDOM DID DISAPPOINT ME.

ON THE RARE OCCASION THAT THEY DID DISAPPOINT, ALL OF THE HURT WAS USUALLY MANIFESTED INCORRECTLY IN ANGER, AND ALL OF THE ANGER I COULD MUSTER UP COULD NEVER EXPRESS ALL OF THE HURT IT WAS ATTEMPTING TO DISPLAY.

IN ALL OF MY INEPT LOVE, I LOVED THEM WITH ALL I KNEW WHICH OF COURSE AT IT'S VERY BEST PALED IN COMPARISON TO GOD'S LOVE FOR US.

YET, I DID LOVE THEM, AND DISCOVERED THAT AS LONG AS WE LOVE, WE WILL HURT.

AS LONG AS WE ARE LOVED, WE WILL HURT OTHERS.

I AM A LONELY MAN NOW THAT MY DAUGHTERS ARE NO LONGER A PART OF MY DAILY LIFE.

MY YOUNGEST IS NOW MARRIED, AND FOCUSING ON BEING A WIFE AS SHE SHOULD, WHILE MY OLDEST DAUGHTER PASSED AWAY AND CREATED A VOID THAT IS BEYOND FILLING, AND A HURT THAT DEFIES EXPRESSION.

AS I SIT AND REMINISCE OF DAYS GONE BY, AND OPPORTUNITIES MISSED, I WONDER IF I'LL EVER BE THE SAME WITHOUT THEM IN MY DAILY LIFE.

I'M FIGHTING BACK TEARS AS I WRITE THIS, AND I MISS THEM SO MUCH, YET I CAN NEVER CHANGE WHAT WAS, AND WHAT IS.

WITHOUT GOD, I WOULD HAVE LONG AGO LOST MY BALANCE, AND FALLEN TO WHO KNOWS WHERE, BUT GOD IS MY FRIEND, AND HE HAS HELD ME THROUGH IT ALL.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION: LET'S IMAGINE HOW GOD FEELS ABOUT OUR ATTITUDES, REBELLION, STUBBORNNESS, AND DISOBEDIENCE, AND LET'S IMPROVE OUR RELATIONSHIPS WITH HIM RIGHT NOW.

IF I, IN MY IMPERFECT, INCOMPLETE LOVE CAN HURT, AND FEEL LIKE THIS, LETS IMAGINE GOD'S HEART, AND PAIN CAUSED BY US.

LET'S CHANGE TODAY, AND PLEASE OUR FATHER!

JUMP OR WASHOUT !

2009-12-07T12:23:00.000-08:00

Job 13:15 Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.

JOB WAS A VERY SPECIAL KIND OF PERSON, WHICH IS WHY THE LORD ALLOWED HIM TO ENDURE ALL THAT THE DEVIL DID TO HIM.

GOD ALL READY KNEW JOB WOULD STAND, BUT SATAN, AND EVEN JOB NEEDED TO SEE THAT HE WOULD STAND.

THIS IS A MIGHTY, MIGHTY BOLD STATEMENT TO BE MADE BY ANYONE, AT ANYTIME, LET ALONE SOMEONE THAT HAS ALREADY ENDURED ALL THAT JOB HAD UP TO THIS POINT, ESPECIALLY NOT KNOWING WHAT LAID AHEAD.

I AM REMINDED OF ABRAHAM AND HIS BELIEF, LOVE, TRUST, AND RELATIONSHIP WITH THE ALMIGHTY.

IT IS EVIDENT TO ME THROUGH THESE GREAT MEN OF GOD, AND THROUGH PERSONAL EXPERIENCE THAT ONLY THOSE POSSESSING GENUINE RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD WOULD, OR EVEN COULD MAKE SUCH BOLD STATEMENTS AS THESES MEN OF GOD DID.

ABRAHAM WHILE HEADING UP THE MOUNTAIN TO SACRIFICE HIS PROMISED SON MADE THE BOLD STATEMENT OF FAITH THAT THEY BOTH WOULD RETURN.

JOB AFTER HAVING LOSS ALL BELONGINGS, AND EVERY CHILD PROCLAIMS THIS BOLD STATEMENT OF FAITH, THAT EVEN IF GOD WERE TO KILL HIM, HE WOULD STILL TRUST, BECAUSE LIFE WAS TRULY ALL JOB HAD LEFT.

ONCE AGAIN I AM INSTRUCTED TO POINT OUT TO US ALL THAT THESE WERE NOT MERELY STATEMENTS OF FAITH.

THESE WERE DECLARATIONS OF VERY STRONG, LONG AGO ESTABLISHED RELATIONSHIPS WITH AN UNSEEN GOD THAT HAD NEVER FAILED THESE MEN OF GOD IN THE PAST, SO WHY SHOULD THEY BELIEVE HE WOULD NOW ?

WHEN WILL OUR FAITH, OR BETTER YET RELATIONSHIPS ATTAIN SUCH STATUS WITH GOD THAT HE CAN TRUST US WITH THE HIGH HONOR OF TESTS, TRIALS, AND SUFFERING AS HE DID THESE MEN OF GOD ?

THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION IS ALSO THE PROBLEM, BECAUSE WE'LL NEVER KNOW UNTIL WE ARE IN THE VERY MIDST OF THE SITUATION THAT THREATENS TO ACTUALLY CRUSH US, OR DRIVE US AWAY FROM GOD.

CAN WE SAY AS ABRAHAM THAT WE WILL BE BACK, UNLESS WE ARE FIRST INSTRUCTED TO SACRIFICE OUR LONG AWAITED PROMISES ?

WILL WE BE ABLE TO STATE WE WILL TRUST GOD EVEN IF HE SLAYS US, IF WE ARE NOT FIRST TRULY FACING DEATH ?

BROTHERS AND SISTERS WE ARE QUICKLY APPROACHING ZERO HOUR AND MANY OF US ARE ON THE BRINK OF BREAK THROUGH, BUT NOT BEFORE WE ARE ON THE BRINK OF DESTRUCTION.

WHAT WILL WE SAY, WHEN OUR ULTIMATE TEST IS STARING US IN THE FACE ?

AS A PARATROOPER I HEARD MANY A MAN STATE THEY WOULD JUMP FROM PLANES AND EARN THEIR WINGS.

THAT WAS UNTIL THE AIRPLANE DOOR OPENED AND THE SOUND WAS DEAFENING, AS THE PLANE ROCKED, AND THE GROUND LOOKED SO FAR AWAY.

MANY A MAN COMPLETED THE TRAINING ON THE GROUND, BUT THE TRUTH TO BEING A PARATROOPER IS JUMPING FROM PLANES.

THOSE THAT FAILED TO COMPLETE THE JUMP PORTION WERE WHAT WE CALLED WASHED OUT OF THE PROGRAM.

THEY WERE STILL SOLDIERS, THEY WERE JUST NOT OF THE ELITE BAND KNOWN AS PARATROOPERS.

MY POINT IS MEN CAN RUN LIKE PARATROOPERS, DO EXERCISES LIKE PARATROOPERS, DRESS LIKE PARATROOPERS, CALL CADENCE LIKE PARATROOPERS, BUT UNTIL YOU JUMP FROM A MILITARY AIRPLANE WITH 100 LBS OF EQUIPMENT, AND HIT THE GROUND RUNNING TOWARDS YOUR MISSION, YOU ARE NOT A PARATROOPER.

HOW MANY OF US TALK LIKE SPIRITUAL GIANTS, SING, WALK, ACT, AND ENCOURAGE OTHERS LIKE SPIRITUAL GIANTS.

MOST OF US ARE GUILTY OF THAT PROBABLY, BUT THE TIME IS AT HAND FOR US TO REALIZE THAT THE DOOR IS OPENING, THE GROUND IS FAR BELOW, AND IT'S TIME FOR US TO JUMP, OR WASH OUT OF THE PROGRAM.

WE CAN STILL BE CHRISTIANS, WE JUST WON'T BE KNOWN AS THE ELITE BAND OF SPIRITUAL GIANTS, OR TRUE MEN AND WOMEN OF GOD.

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION: IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO ENJOY PRIVILEGE WITH GOD WITHOUT RESPONSIBILITY, OR WITHOUT SUFFERING FOR HIM!

LIFE IS NOT A GAME !

2009-12-06T18:09:00.000-08:00

I GUESS I'M STRANGE, BECAUSE I DON'T THINK I'VE LOOKED AT LIFE THE WAY I'VE HEARD OTHERS LOOK AT IT.

SINCE AS FAR BACK AS I CAN REMEMBER, I'VE ALWAYS WISHED I WAS NEVER BORN.

YOU MAY ASK WHY WOULD I SAY SUCH A THING, OR WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME, AM I DEPRESSED, SUICIDAL, OR SUFFERING FROM SOME SORT OF IN BALANCE ?

THOUGH I'VE NOT BEEN OFFICIALLY DIAGNOSED, MY SELF ASSESSMENT IS A POSITIVE ONE.

GOD HAS PLACED SOME SORT OF SUPERNATURAL REALIZATION IN MY DNA THAT INFORMED ME EVEN AS A CHILD THAT LIFE WAS NOT A GAME, OR TO BE PLAYED WITH BECAUSE THE REPERCUSSION'S WERE DIRE AND ETERNAL.

SIMPLY PUT, I NEVER WANTED THE RESPONSIBILITY OF LIVING THE LIFE THAT WOULD ALLOW ME TO EVADE ETERNAL PUNISHMENT.

AS A CHILD I HAD KNOW IDEA OF WHAT ETERNAL PUNISHMENT MAYBE, BUT I DID KNOW IT EXISTED.

I ALSO NEVER THOUGHT IT FAIR, AN INDIVIDUAL THAT NEVER ASK TO BE BROUGHT HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE WOULD NOW BE BURDENED WITH THE TASK OF HOW I LEAVE HERE.

STUCK WITH RESPONSIBLE LIVING, OR FACE THE CONSEQUENCES.

IF THIS DILEMMA ALONE WEREN'T BAD ENOUGH, ISSUES MULTIPLY OVER TIME, AS DOES ONE'S RESPONSIBILITIES.

WE GAIN SPOUSES, CHILDREN, FRIENDS, JOBS, ETC...... THESE ARE PEOPLE YOU DON'T WANT TO FAIL, DISAPPOINT, OR LET DOWN.

WE WANT TO BE ROLE MODELS, MENTORS, EXAMPLES AND ANY OTHER POSITIVE IMPACT WE BELIEVE WE ARE TO BE FOR THESE CHERISHED INDIVIDUALS.

THEN GOD WILL HIT US BELOW THE BELT WITH THE SUCKER PUNCH OF ALL SUCKER PUNCHES, WHEN HE CALLS US INTO POSITIONS OF MINISTRY.

IF EVER THERE WERE A BURDEN TO BEAR, IT IS TO KNOW THAT GOD IS COUNTING ON YOU, PEOPLE ARE LOOKING AT YOU, AND YOU ARE NO LONGER RESPONSIBLE FOR THE WELL-BEING OF YOUR SOUL ONLY.

EVERY SOUL THE LORD PLACES IN YOUR LIFE MINISTERIALLY WILL BECOME A NEW REASON TO FEEL THE BURDEN OF LIFE'S NOT BEING A GAME.

WHAT A MESS, AND A BURDEN THIS UNREQUESTED LIFE CAN BE.

WHY DOES GOD ALLOW, AND MAYBE EVEN DO THIS TO US WHOM HE CLAIMS TO LOVE SO ?

IF YOU'RE AWAITING FOR AN ANSWER FROM ME IT COULD BE AWHILE, BECAUSE OFF-HAND I JUST DON'T HAVE IT.

THIS IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS WE WILL "UNDERSTAND BETTER, BYE, AND BYE".

I'M SIMPLY AIRING OUT MY QUESTIONS, AND DISSATISFACTION, IN HOPES IT WILL BE BOTH CATHARTIC FOR ME, AS WELL AS BENEFICIAL FOR YOU !

IN CLOSING, I GUESS ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT I LOVE, AND TRUST GOD, THEREFORE I BELIEVE IN HIS PROCESS, EVEN THOUGH I DON'T AGREE, OR ENJOY IT, I WILL BY THE GRACE OF GOD CONTINUE TO ENDURE UNTIL THE MY END.

THE WORD ENDURE SAYS IT ALL, DOESN'T IT ?

2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION: EVEN THOUGH NONE OF US HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH OUR BEING HERE, WE HAVE GOT TO BELIEVE IN GOD, AND IN THE FACT THAT IF HE SELECTED US FOR WHATEVER IT IS WE ARE FACING, HE KNOWS WHATS BEST.

SAINTS WE MUST STOP LIVING OUR LIVES AS THOUGH IT WERE SIMPLY A GAME VOID OF WINNERS, AND LOSERS.

THERE WILL NEVER BE A BIGGER WINNER THEN THE CHILD OF GOD THAT GETS THIS JOURNEY RIGHT.

NOR WILL THERE EVER BE A BIGGER LOSER THEN THE ONE THAT FAILS TO HEED THIS WARNING, AND CONTINUES TO LIVE AS THOUGH THEY HAVE IMMUNITY TO GOD'S JUDGEMENT.

REMEMBER WHETHER WE ASKED TO BE HERE OR NOT, WE WILL ALL CERTAINLY LEAVE HERE, BUT HOW ?
