One thing the Pharisees did not realize was that the Sabbath was designed to honor God and worship him. When we work on the Sabbath for ourselves, we tend to forget about God. Even Jesus told his disciples that the healing of this man's eyes was to bring glory to the Father. Jesus, healing the blind man's eyes on the Sabbath was bringing glory to God. The Pharisees were so bullheaded that they could not even see what happened to the blind man. The healing of his eyes meant nothing to them. They were only interested in bringing charges against Jesus. This action was definitely working on the Sabath to take out Jesus. God received no glory at all. They are just like the Russia-Russia deal that is going on with President Trump. The fact that someone is cleaning up the swamp irritates these people to no end because it makes them look bad. It does not matter that our economy was flourishing, and we have a President that mentions Jesus Christ many times. The Pharisees after their 1st attempt to bring charges failed, brought the blind man in again to see if they missed something to be able to bring charges against Jesus. John 9:24-34 24 So for the second time they called in the man who had been blind and told him, "God should get the glory for this, because we know this man Jesus is a sinner." 25 "I don't know whether he is a sinner," the man replied. "But I know this: I was blind, and now I can see!" 26 "But what did he do?" they asked. "How did he heal you?" 27 "Look!" the man exclaimed. "I told you once. Didn't you listen? Why do you want to hear it again? Do you want to become his disciples, too?" 28 Then they cursed him and said, "You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses! 29 We know God spoke to Moses, but we don't even know where this man comes from." Now this is being bold, the blind man is letting the Pharisees have it. I think the blind man has heard stories about Jesus but has not committed his life to him yet. His comeback is excellent: 30 "Why, that's very strange!" the man replied. "He healed my eyes, and yet you don't know where he comes from? 31 We know that God doesn't listen to sinners, but he is ready to hear those who worship him and do his will. 32 Ever since the world began, no one has been able to open the eyes of someone born blind. 33 If this man were not from God, he couldn't have done it." The Pharisees lost to the wisdom of the blind man. They only could throw him out: 34 "You were born a total sinner!" they answered. "Are you trying to teach us?" And they threw him out of the synagogue. Are we willing to stand for Jesus even if it means a loss of popularity and even our job. The blind man standing up for Jesus got him thrown out of church. This can be a hard thing to do but it was difficult for Jesus to lay his life down for us because he prayed, "Father take this cup from me but I only want your will to be done." The agony made him sweat drops of blood. We need to stand for Jesus. We need to want to help our coworkers like Jesus helped the blind man. We should want them to succeed even if it means a delay of climbing the ladder. If your heart is pure, lookout you will be blessed by God if you sacrifice yourself to someone going through difficulty. If our love is great enough, we will want the best for all people who have not committed their lives to sin. 12/07/2022 When we think God has abandoned us, we should read Psalm 139. Why would he leave when he is near me all the time. The first 7 verses talk about how close he is to us: Psalm 139 New Living Translation 1 O Lord, you have examined my heart and know everything about me. 2 You know when I sit down or stand up. You know my thoughts even when I’m far away. 3 You see me when I travel and when I rest at home. You know everything I do. 4 You know what I am going to say even before I say it, Lord. 5 You go before me and follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head. 6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too great for me to understand! Verses 7-12 explain that even if we try to abandon God we cannot get away from his presence. His love for us keeps him from giving up. 7 I can never escape from your Spirit! I can never get away from your presence! 8 If I go up to heaven, you are there; if I go down to the grave,[a] you are there. 9 If I ride the wings of the morning, if I dwell by the farthest oceans, 10 even there your hand will guide me, and your strength will support me. 11 I could ask the darkness to hide me and the light around me to become night— 12 but even in darkness I cannot hide from you. To you the night shines as bright as day. Darkness and light are the same to you. Verses 13-16 Gives thanks to him for not creating junk. We are a masterpiece created in God's image. We are not put on a trophy case to be admired but to have a relationship with him. 13 You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb. 14 Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it. 15 You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. 16 You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed. Since Jesus Christ has made us holy, God is always thinking about us as stated in verses 17-18 17 How precious are your thoughts about me,[b] O God. They cannot be numbered! 18 I can’t even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand! And when I wake up, you are still with me! Our God is a just God. He will come against your enemies as in verses 19-22. But God does like it when we pray for our enemies. Maybe they will have a change of heart because of our prayers. We will leave revenge up to our God. 19 O God, if only you would destroy the wicked! Get out of my life, you murderers! 20 They blaspheme you; your enemies misuse your name. 21 O Lord, shouldn’t I hate those who hate you? Shouldn’t I despise those who oppose you? 22 Yes, I hate them with total hatred, for your enemies are my enemies. The last two verses require that I let the worldly things go and start concentrating on Kingdom thoughts. 23 Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. 24 Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life. 12/06/2022 Everyone talks about John 3:16 on how God him so loved the world that he sent his begotten son for our salvation. But really what is really interesting is that when the people were arguing about who Jesus was. He told them to stop. He said that you're not going to be able to come to me unless the father calls you: John 6:41-45 New Living Translation 41 Then the people began to murmur in disagreement because he had said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.” 42 They said, “Isn’t this Jesus, the son of Joseph? We know his father and mother. How can he say, ‘I came down from heaven’?” 43 But Jesus replied, “Stop complaining about what I said. 44 For no one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them to me, and at the last day I will raise them up. 45 As it is written in the Scriptures, ‘They will all be taught by God.’ Everyone who listens to the Father and learns from him comes to me. 46 (Not that anyone has ever seen the Father; only I, who was sent from God, have seen him.) Not only is it an honor in what Jesus Christ did for us but it is also great that God himself called us to Jesus Christ. I have heard from some of the prophets that God will sometimes tell them to quit praying for some people because they have given themselves to the world. Our God knows our heart and he will not waste time on us if we become bullheaded. Jesus also mentioned in the same chapter this very same thing again to his disciples: John 6:61-65 New Living Translation 61 Jesus was aware that his disciples were complaining, so he said to them, “Does this offend you? 62 Then what will you think if you see the Son of Man ascend to heaven again? 63 The Spirit alone gives eternal life. Human effort accomplishes nothing. And the very words I have spoken to you are spirit and life. 64 But some of you do not believe me.” (For Jesus knew from the beginning which ones didn’t believe, and he knew who would betray him.) 65 Then he said, “That is why I said that people can’t come to me unless the Father gives them to me.” I've been firmly believed that many people in our government have been given the opportunity to ask for forgiveness but they flat out refuse because they have sold their souls to the world. God is not going to mess with these people and will take them out if it's necessary. I am very grateful that God has called me to give my heart to Jesus Christ. We all should be thankful for this. 11/30/2022 Have you ever wondered why the church has become so gutless. A lot of it is because of the misunderstanding or ignorance of God's word. Timothy talks about not getting into a "foolish" argument: 2 Timothy 2:23 Again, I say, don’t get involved in foolish, ignorant arguments that only start fights. There is the reason why we need to read God's word to not make this mistake. Many people who think they know God will usually speak against those who truly know God's word: 1 Timothy 6:4 Anyone who teaches something different is arrogant and lacks understanding. Such a person has an unhealthy desire to quibble over the meaning of words. This stirs up arguments ending in jealousy, division, slander, and evil suspicions. This greatly weakens the church. If those people are sinning though Timothy has something to say about this: 1 Timothy 5:20 Those who sin should be reprimanded in front of the whole church; this will serve as a strong warning to others. This will definitely purify the church by getting rid of sin inside of the church. Even if you know the Bible better than anyone else, it is not a good idea to debate against everything that is said. I have heard people give the wrong part of the Bible where something was found. The message was accurate, but the location in the Bible was wrong. 2 Timothy 2:14 Remind everyone about these things, and command them in God’s presence to stop fighting over words. Such arguments are useless, and they can ruin those who hear them. But if you look carefully at the verse, it mentions foolish arguments. Anytime you stand for God's truth people are going to argue with you. The church is using this verse as an excuse not to say anything so that evil can have its way. They say, "If I speak up against this, I will just start an argument. If I stand up against abortion and I say why God does not like it. I will start an argument. When the world challenges your values, this is another thing where you may have to speak the truth. This is where the church avoided confrontation with no prayer in school, abortion, gay marriage, sexual identification, locked down churches and the freedom of speech. Their excuse is we need to show love and have compassion for these people. We want them to love us at God's expense. Many times Jesus was challenged to start an argument. One of my favorite ones were when they challenge Jesus about stoning the woman: John 8:6-11 6 They were trying to trap him into saying something they could use against him, but Jesus stooped down and wrote in the dust with his finger. 7 They kept demanding an answer, so he stood up again and said, “All right, but let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone!” 8 Then he stooped down again and wrote in the dust. 9 When the accusers heard this, they slipped away one by one, beginning with the oldest, until only Jesus was left in the middle of the crowd with the woman. 10 Then Jesus stood up again and said to the woman, “Where are your accusers? Didn’t even one of them condemn you?” 11 “No, Lord,” she said. And Jesus said, “Neither do I. Go and sin no more.” Jesus took them on knowing he could start an argument, but he used the wisdom of the Holy Spirit to keep them quiet. Argument won The law said that she must be stoned but they knew that Jesus was forgiving sins and they tried to trap him by going against the law. His answer was, "Let the man who has committed no sin throw the first stone." Not a word was said, and everybody began leaving Jesus standing by the woman. Jesus still knew that she was in the wrong and told her not to sin no more. The next one I like is whether or not it is right to pay taxes. Luke 20:20-25 20 Watching for their opportunity, the leaders sent spies pretending to be honest men. They tried to get Jesus to say something that could be reported to the Roman governor so he would arrest Jesus. 21 “Teacher,” they said, “we know that you speak and teach what is right and are not influenced by what others think. You teach the way of God truthfully. 22 Now tell us—is it right for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?” 23 He saw through their trickery and said, 24 “Show me a Roman coin. Whose picture and title are stamped on it?” “Caesar’s,” they replied. 25 “Well then,” he said, “give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and give to God what belongs to God.” Even though Jesus knew it was a trap it did not stop him. His words silenced them. Argument won The abuse of this verse also makes the church weak: Luke 6:37 “Do not judge others, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn others, or it will all come back against you. Forgive others, and you will be forgiven. In this verse people think that it means if I don't judge other people that I will not be judged. This is garbage: Matthew 12:36 And I tell you this, you must give an account on judgment day for every idle word you speak. Do you know that if you see someone sinning and you decide not to do it because you believe it will not please God you are judging. A judgement is made every time you decide if something is right or wrong. What people don't understand about that verse is how we judge other people is going to be how we are judged. If we judge harshly, we will be judged harshly. If we judge in love, we will be judged in love. Do not misinterpret scripture to allow Coexist stickers to identify with fake gods because we are not to judge them. This a slap in God's face. We have to put what God wants over Evil and continue to judge what is sin based on God's word says. Let's make the church strong again. 11/23/2022 Have you ever noticed how it seems that when people are talking about God, they are referencing the Old Testament more than ever. The New Testament was the result of Jesus Christ coming to earth and dying for our sins. He started a new covenant. The Old Testament though still has so much to offer. The Old Testament shows what will happen to us when we do the things the Israelites did. Our sins can lead to the same consequences their sins did. If we were smart we would have learned from what they did wrong and avoid doing those things at all cost. The Old Testament also displays how God does things. He seems to repeat certain things he did based upon what events are going on today. Lately, Exodus 14 has been used a lot. The parting of any body of water is only possible by the power of our God Yahweh. But there are things that are present today that God is going to do that will be just as cool as parting the Red Sea. God is going to be separating the good from evil in this great spiritual battle that is going on today. This means even his church. Wokeness and closed doors have to go. Pay attention to verses 24 and 25. Not too many people bring this up but you notice that God after he parted the sea begin messing with the minds of the Egyptians. He was mentally messing them up. When you become fearful you begin to make a lot of mistakes. Exodus 14:21-30 New Living Translation 21 Then Moses raised his hand over the sea, and the Lord opened up a path through the water with a strong east wind. The wind blew all that night, turning the seabed into dry land. 22 So the people of Israel walked through the middle of the sea on dry ground, with walls of water on each side! 23 Then the Egyptians—all of Pharaoh’s horses, chariots, and charioteers—chased them into the middle of the sea. 24 But just before dawn the Lord looked down on the Egyptian army from the pillar of fire and cloud, and he threw their forces into total confusion. 25 He twisted their chariot wheels, making their chariots difficult to drive. “Let’s get out of here—away from these Israelites!” the Egyptians shouted. “The Lord is fighting for them against Egypt!” 26 When all the Israelites had reached the other side, the Lord said to Moses, “Raise your hand over the sea again. Then the waters will rush back and cover the Egyptians and their chariots and charioteers.” 27 So as the sun began to rise, Moses raised his hand over the sea, and the water rushed back into its usual place. The Egyptians tried to escape, but the Lord swept them into the sea. 28 Then the waters returned and covered all the chariots and charioteers—the entire army of Pharaoh. Of all the Egyptians who had chased the Israelites into the sea, not a single one survived. 29 But the people of Israel had walked through the middle of the sea on dry ground, as the water stood up like a wall on both sides. 30 That is how the Lord rescued Israel from the hand of the Egyptians that day. And the Israelites saw the bodies of the Egyptians washed up on the seashore. God is doing the same thing today with what's going on in our world today. There is so much corruption in our government just like there was with Pharaoh that God is messing with the minds of our corrupt leaders. I mean what's the odds of Hunter Biden's laptop being freely given to the public to expose what's going on. Even now God has use the FTX crypto currency debacle to expose our government sending taxpayer money to the Ukraine in turn they sent it back as crypto currency to fund our leaders special interests whether it was election fraud or just getting rich. Not only the Democrats did this but many Republicans have compromised themselves for the love of money. No wonder so many people were interested in sending money to Ukraine because of the agreement they made to send it most of it back as crypto currency. God is putting fear into these people's minds just like he did the Egyptians. Everything is coming together to expose what is going on. As the enemy tries to hide the truth, he is going to try to destroy the church and anyone who stands for the truth. These people are going to meet the same fate that Pharaoh experienced. God is going to do this. Psalm 21 talks about how God works: Psalm 21:8-13 New Living Translation 8 You will capture all your enemies. Your strong right hand will seize all who hate you. 9 You will throw them in a flaming furnace when you appear. The Lord will consume them in his anger; fire will devour them. 10 You will wipe their children from the face of the earth; they will never have descendants. 11 Although they plot against you, their evil schemes will never succeed. 12 For they will turn and run when they see your arrows aimed at them. 13 Rise up, O Lord, in all your power. With music and singing we celebrate your mighty acts. We know that God is about to do more mighty things. There has been so much being exposed right now. It is so cool how God allowed Roe v Wade to be thrown out. The Covid 19 scamdemic was proof that they are interested in shutting all of our churches down and locking us down. The lockdowns have failed worldwide at preventing the spread of the disease. This is also being exposed. Some of you may be saying that this has been going on for close to a century now and God never did anything to stop it. A lot of this has to do with God's own church and our passiveness to come against evil. I guarantee if the church would've been strong and stood up against this evil, this would have ended long ago. Heck, if Christians would all just vote for the candidate that Jesus Christ would pick, this alone would end all a lot of these problems. We would have more God-fearing leaders. Just remember voting for a candidate is not glorifying your pocketbook. It is choosing the person whose values more closely represent the views of our God. Just remember Romans says that we all fall short when it comes to holiness so there is no such thing as a perfect candidate. It is our duty to do research on people we select. 2020 was the year where we had a godly platform and a demonic platform and many churches and Christians selected the candidate with the demonic platform. We cannot let our emotions control who we vote for. Things are different today. Many of God's people have gotten down on their knees and prayed that God would just would restore this nation. The pilgrims made a covenant with God that he still wants to honor. Jesus Christ still needs the resources of the United States to reach the rest of the world so that he can come back again. God's prophet Kim Clement predicted that there would be a man from New York who would become President of the United States and cleanup the swamp. President Trump has been already working on this with the help of the Holy Spirit in trying to clean this mess up. In the process of him doing this, the enemy is really getting nervous in what he has been doing. That is the reason there has been so many failed attempts on President Trump's life. What God is about to do is real for sure. Just think about the stories that you are going to be able to tell your children and grandchildren when this all comes to past. 11/17/2022 Have you ever noticed that money has the power to bring glory to the kingdom of God. It can be a curse at the same time. I am a firm believer that in order to determine what money is to God is based upon the condition of your heart. Does your heart reflect the kingdom of God? God has given me a ministry where money is used to help families in need. I give my buddy money every week to help two families that God selects. These families are in the ghetto of Denver. Most of the families have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ already. Lately, there has been 17 families that come together with the two new families. They are worshiping God when my buddy gets there. The one thing I love about blessing other people is what happens next. Their faith in God is renewed immensely. If the spouse of one of the family has not accepted Jesus Christ yet, they do when they see what happens when God performs a miracle. Another cool thing about blessing other people is that they began praying for you. My buddy witnesses this every week. They continue to ask God to bless me for what I have done. I do have to admit that I was never planning on doing a ministry like this. But after God got me started doing this, it has been amazing every time. Could you imagine if all the people you bless pray for you on a regular basis like these people do. What power those prayers can over one's life. I have noticed that other people have been exposed to what we have done in that area. Someone physically went in and donated time and money to build a basketball court for the kids in this neighborhood. This all occurred after we started doing this ministry for God. I don't know if you guys have ever read the Robin Hood series on how Robin Hood stole from the rich and gave to the poor. We have done the same thing. We have stolen from our selfish desires and given money to people in need. It is cool to be known like we are the Robin Hood of the ghetto. These people have no idea who I am. I can walk by any one of them and they would not recognize me. Likewise, we feed gangs every week. God has us feed them not only to show his love but they have trouble debating with my buddy when their mouths are full. So he is clearly able to read the word of God to them while they are eating. All gangs realize that no one uses their own money to feeds anybody for free. When this happens they begin to ask questions. They eventually began turning their lives over to Jesus Christ because of the love we show by feeding them. So this is proof that money can be used to glorify our King. The gangs and the people in the ghetto call me blue Mustang. I've always wanted to upgrade my current Mustang to a GT500. I could easily stop feeding the families and the gangs and get one of those today. But if I would do that I would miss out on all of God's blessings that he promises. In Malachi 3:10 he promises that he will blow the doors off your barn if you give unto him. But sometimes this still means waiting. The more that you give the more that he gives. With God it's never a one-to-one relationship. He can greatly outdo anything that I could give him. So I am waiting on his timing when I am going to be able to get one. But my number one priority is to continue blessing families and changing the lives of the gangs we come into contact with. After all our command is to go out in the world and bring love and message of Jesus Christ to the masses. If I decided to go to the ways of the world, my money would only serve my glory. There is definitely no satisfaction in that. First John 2:15-16 talks about the love of the world. I can replace "the world" with the word "money" and I would not change the meaning of the verse at all. Money is used today to commit all sorts of iniquities. It is amazing what people will do to get it. 1 John 2:15-16 (New Living Translation) Do not love (this world->money) nor the things it offers you, for when you love (the world->money), you do not have the love of the Father in you. For (the world->money) offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this (world->money). Paul's letter to Timothy also deals with the problems the love of money can generate: 1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. And some people, craving money, have wandered from the true faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows. Money can influence even those in the church. Peter talks about the false teachers how the love of money is more important than them giving an accurate account of what God's actually says: 2 Peter 2:15 They (false teachers) have wandered off the right road and followed the footsteps of Balaam son of Beor, who loved to earn money by doing wrong. 16 But Balaam was stopped from his mad course when his donkey rebuked him with a human voice. So if our main goal is making money, we cannot see this: Psalm 119:18 (New Living Translation) Open my eyes to see the wonderful truths in your instructions. If money is your goal this verse below will translate: Psalm 119:143 (New Living Translation) As pressure and stress bear down on me, I find joy in your commands. "As pressure and stress bear down on me, I find it harder to make more money." There is nothing wrong with money but it should be avoided if you think it makes you look cool at the expense of our King. Do not let money or anyone take you away from serving God. Peter had something to say about that: 1 Peter 2:15-16 (New Living Translation) It is God’s will that your honorable lives should silence those ignorant people who make foolish accusations against you. For you are free, yet you are God’s slaves, so don’t use your freedom as an excuse to do evil. Remember we a representatives of Jesus Christ. Let's not put money ahead of him. 1 Peter 3:18 (New Living Translation) Christ suffered for our sins once for all time. He never sinned, but he died for sinners to bring you safely home to God. He suffered physical death, but he was raised to life in the Spirit. 11/10/2022 God is going to do something in America that many people will not like. That fence that the devil owns has God's Kingdom on one side and the world on the other side. That fence is about to get electrified and we are going to have to pick a side. Jesus is looking for committed Christians and is getting ready to make his church awesome. He thinks like Joshua: Joshua 24:15 (New Living Translation) But if you refuse to serve the Lord, then choose today whom you will serve. Would you prefer the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates? Or will it be the gods of the Amorites in whose land you now live? But as for me and my family, we will serve the Lord.” It is getting that serious and we are running out of time. Look what the true God offers us: Isaiah 55:3-9 New Living Translation 3 “Come to me with your ears wide open. Listen, and you will find life. I will make an everlasting covenant with you. I will give you all the unfailing love I promised to David. [He wants to make a covenant with us. You know how God honors his covenants. Only our loss of fear of our King can mess that up. If we truly repent he is anxious to restore his covenant. ] 4 See how I used him to display my power among the peoples. I made him a leader among the nations. [This one is for you President Trump] 5 You also will command nations you do not know, and peoples unknown to you will come running to obey, because I, the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, have made you glorious.” [Since President Trump became Born again in the first year of his presidency, I have seen this happen also. It amazing to see this happen. This is a promise that those of you in leadership can also experience on a smaller scale.] 6 Seek the Lord while you can find him. Call on him now while he is near. 7 Let the wicked change their ways and banish the very thought of doing wrong. Let them turn to the Lord that he may have mercy on them. Yes, turn to our God, for he will forgive generously. [If we mess up or mess up trying to serve the Lord. It is not our our end. The last verse promises, "Yes, turn to our God, for he will forgive generously."] Yep, everything going on today is for the sake of Jesus Christ. He is wanting everyone worldwide to know about him and come to him. After all, he came to earth to save us. The enemy has been interfering with this process and is about to be crushed. Do not let appearances make you doubt this. This verse says it all: Ephesians 1:9-10 (New Living Translation) God has now revealed to us his mysterious will regarding Christ—which is to fulfill his own good plan. And this is the plan: At the right time he will bring everything together under the authority of Christ—everything in heaven and on earth. Yes, I want things to go faster too but our God is not going to do anything outside of any laws that he inspired. If he goes too fast, many may lose their opportunity to come to Christ. We should pray that God reveals his Glory soon. 11/04/2022 I have always known about the devil and things that he is against. But I never realized to the extent that the spiritual warfare has grown to. Part of the problem has been in the church remained silent during this spiritual battle. While the church was silent the bad people took over our government agencies. Jesus Christ will be the first one to tell you that a personal relationship with him makes a difference in those who run government. Paul says: Ephesians 6:12 New Living Translation 12 For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places. This sounds important to me that we need to understand our enemy if we are going to fight against him. The Old Testament shows what happens to those who turn their backs on God. If we refuse to do anything about our enemy, our destruction will be just like what the Jews experienced. Peter also had something to say about our adversary: 1 Peter 5:8-9 (New Living Translation) Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. Stand firm against him and be strong in your faith. Remember that your family of believers all over the world is going through the same kind of suffering you are. God has counter measures at our disposal: Isaiah 54:17 17 But in that coming day no weapon turned against you will succeed. You will silence every voice raised up to accuse you. These benefits are enjoyed by the servants of the Lord; their vindication will come from me. I, the Lord, have spoken! We are not the only ones being attacked by the enemy. Since President Trump has taken office as president, he never realized how deep the swamp was. The devil has gotten a strong foothold in our government, justice system and mainstream media. He does a good job in protecting his own flock. The Hunter Biden hard drive has so much corruption on it, but no one really wants to investigate it. We are more interested in advancing abortion, gay lifestyles, pronouns and pitting races against each other. Let’s not forget about the next pandemic that the devil will try to use against us to close the doors on God’s Churches. Look at all the censorship against those who put up material opposing the devil’s ideology. Free speech is almost dead if you come against the enemy. God has had enough, and the spiritual battle is worldwide. There has never been a spiritual battle as big as this one. Those people in the church compromised to satanic agendas will be removed. The church is going to get stronger and will be an opposition to the devil. People all over the world are beginning to stand up to their tyrannical governments and election fraud. Brazil is a good example of this. We have a chance to change things in this coming election. It can change the outcome of America. I am praying that God will intervene on the election fraud like he did in Brazil. We have an amazing gift to elect people. Many countries are ruled by Kings who are not elected. If that leader sucks, too bad. Continue to push God’s agenda in politics. If a church ever tells you that it is not right to get involved in politics, they are lying to you. Separation of church and state is to keep government from your freedom to worship Yahweh. But we are to interfere in government as much as possible to have leaders reflecting the image of Jesus Christ. Just remember that our Constitution was inspired by God which makes it a good document. Everybody get out and vote on November 8th. All candidates have their faults, but some really hate God and are serving their master the devil. You need to find out which one’s views line closer to our Kings views and choose him. Keep your pocketbook from selecting the wrong one. Pay attention to the amendments involved also. Many can serve the devil and they need to be voted down. 10/27/2022 I have watched people go through training to be able to do a job correctly. This is a good idea. It prevent people from designing buildings that collapse on themselves or having the wings fall off the plane while in flight. But when it comes to the things of God, learning takes the back burner. To become proficient in the Kingdom of God, it requires the same discipline as building a skyscraper. That is the reason for his word is to train us. Timothy nailed it: 2 Timothy 3:16-17 (New Living Translation) All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work. Now you know why the church is messed up because we have people there with little or no training. Maybe our lack of desire to learn may because we do not fear God anymore. Proverbs has something to say: Proverbs 9:10 (New Living Translation) Fear of the Lord is the foundation of wisdom. Knowledge of the Holy One results in good judgment. More proof we need to continually study to develop us into effective people in God's Kingdom. The Holy Spirit does supply wisdom to God's people. I may not do it as much as I should either, but we need to fear God so we can do what is necessary to please him. Jesus Christ is looking for a spotless church before he can come back. He is disappointed in what he sees today. Some of us know so little about God that we cannot even make a proper judgment on what is the truth. The first thing we can do to learn who God is by avoiding the distractions of this world. Romans has something to say about this: Romans 12:2 (New Living Translation) Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect. Now we are beginning to understand who God is. Let us not forget to worship him. This will help your attitude. Paul writes: Ephesians 5:19-20 (New Living Translation) singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, and making music to the Lord in your hearts. And give thanks for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. The spotless church that Jesus Christ is looking for will do this: Galatians 6:2 (New Living Translation) Share each other’s burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ. When your heart is where it needs to be, you will do this: Psalm 40:8 (New Living Translation) I take joy in doing your will, my God, for your instructions are written on my heart.” 10/21/2022 I really believe God is about to do what this Psalm says Psalm 37 A psalm of David. 1 Don’t worry about the wicked or envy those who do wrong. 2 For like grass, they soon fade away. Like spring flowers, they soon wither. (Be patient because he will be taking these people down. God has had it with their evil.) 3 Trust in the Lord and do good. Then you will live safely in the land and prosper. 4 Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires. (No matter what, keep the faith. He will protect us if we are living for him) 5 Commit everything you do to the Lord. Trust him, and he will help you. 6 He will make your innocence radiate like the dawn, and the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun. (Now this is how I want people to see me. But godly action is required for us to reap this promise ) 7 Be still in the presence of the Lord, and wait patiently for him to act. Don’t worry about evil people who prosper or fret about their wicked schemes. (I am like the disciple John, "Jesus can we call fire down on them now." This is a promise that our God has it under control. That means I will have to wait on my Kings timing.) 8 Stop being angry! Turn from your rage! Do not lose your temper— it only leads to harm. 9 For the wicked will be destroyed, but those who trust in the Lord will possess the land. (This one only separates us from our King. Release that desire to control things and let our King handle it.) 10 Soon the wicked will disappear. Though you look for them, they will be gone. 11 The lowly will possess the land and will live in peace and prosperity. (I really am beginning to see this. I feel many of the evil are now at Gitmo. Many have dropped out of public viewing.) 12 The wicked plot against the godly; they snarl at them in defiance. 13 But the Lord just laughs, for he sees their day of judgment coming. (I definitely seen this happen to President Trump and Mike Lindell. God will get the last laugh.) 14 The wicked draw their swords and string their bows to kill the poor and the oppressed, to slaughter those who do right. 15 But their swords will stab their own hearts, and their bows will be broken. (I have seen this happen to parents standing up for their kids at school board meetings. If the truth is placed on social media, you are receiving the same fate. The current social medias days are numbered because they all hate God.) 16 It is better to be godly and have little than to be evil and rich. 17 For the strength of the wicked will be shattered, but the Lord takes care of the godly. (If we remain godly, this is a promise.) 18 Day by day the Lord takes care of the innocent, and they will receive an inheritance that lasts forever. 19 They will not be disgraced in hard times; even in famine they will have more than enough. (This is also a promise and I have seen it happen personally in my own life.) 20 But the wicked will die. The Lord’s enemies are like flowers in a field— they will disappear like smoke. (I have heard from God's prophets that this will happen if the ungodly continue to fight against our King. Our God always wins.) 21 The wicked borrow and never repay, but the godly are generous givers. 22 Those the Lord blesses will possess the land, but those he curses will die. (I have also heard from God's prophets that largest transference of wealth from the wicked is about to happen. Many of the wicked will die if they oppose him. Again Our God always wins.) 23 The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives. 24 Though they stumble, they will never fall, for the Lord holds them by the hand. (Thank you Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit for this one.) 25 Once I was young, and now I am old. Yet I have never seen the godly abandoned or their children begging for bread. 26 The godly always give generous loans to others, and their children are a blessing. (This sounds like living in America living under the true God. As long as we serve God we will continue to see more of this. This requires the church to stand against evil or this will become a figment of our imagination.) 27 Turn from evil and do good, and you will live in the land forever. 28 For the Lord loves justice, and he will never abandon the godly. (OK church, it is time to fight and to be that bright light exposing evil.) He will keep them safe forever, but the children of the wicked will die. 29 The godly will possess the land and will live there forever. (Notice how many time "the wicked will die" has been mentioned. God is serious.) 30 The godly offer good counsel; they teach right from wrong. 31 They have made God’s law their own, so they will never slip from his path. (This means we are a true representative of Jesus Christ.) 32 The wicked wait in ambush for the godly, looking for an excuse to kill them. 33 But the Lord will not let the wicked succeed or let the godly be condemned when they are put on trial. (This may not look like this is happening today but God is about to change the rules on the ungodly. Yes Lord, bring it on.) 34 Put your hope in the Lord. Travel steadily along his path. He will honor you by giving you the land. You will see the wicked destroyed. (This puts your faith to the test and is a promise) 35 I have seen wicked and ruthless people flourishing like a tree in its native soil. 36 But when I looked again, they were gone! Though I searched for them, I could not find them! (You will probably find them at Gitmo) 37 Look at those who are honest and good, for a wonderful future awaits those who love peace. 38 But the rebellious will be destroyed; they have no future. 39 The Lord rescues the godly; he is their fortress in times of trouble. 40 The Lord helps them, rescuing them from the wicked. He saves them, and they find shelter in him. (Between the blood of Jesus Christ and the power of God we are invincible. As long as we fit in with God's plans he has need of us. Always have a thankful heart when ever we serve him and give him the glory that is his when he gives us another day to serve him. ) 10/20/2022 I was reading Psalms 25 and it began to make me think of our President Donald Trump. God told the prophet Kim Clement that a man from New York would be the next president of the United States several years before Donald made the announcement to run. God blurred his face so he could not recognize who it was. Donald Trump was asked to run for the presidency strictly because of the corruption going on in our government. He decided to take on the challenge. Anyway, he was called by God to do it in the first place. I am not sure if he knew it. It is amazing all the things that he got accomplished in those four years. Not only did he create the best economy ever, but he was also taking down worldwide pedophilia. He also is destroying the wealth of those who have been stealing from the American people. He now has set the record for the most attempts on his life. He is still has not stopped doing anything. That is why he is so hated by our corrupt government. Chapter 25 says: Psalm 25:14-15 (New Living Translation) The Lord is a friend to those who fear him. He teaches them his covenant. My eyes are always on the Lord, for he rescues me from the traps of my enemies. The Holy Spirit has been working overtime to keep President Trump safe from his enemies. But all the things the corrupt people are doing is beginning the drag down on the innocent. God has something to say about this: Psalm 27:14 (New Living Translation) Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord. I believe if we keep our faith in what God is doing and stand with him against this evil, he will give this promise: Psalm 37:4 (New Living Translation) Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires. Just think about this, if the church was not so divided and would stand united behind Jesus Christ this would be over with by now. We need to read God's word to learn how to be the church Jesus wants. If we remain lukewarm, Jesus may have to start purging people from his church. This will not be cool at all. Let's make Jesus proud by standing up for godly values and serving the needy. Oh, continue to pray for God's tool President Trump. He and his entire family need it. I would not be surprised that there are many of you out there who are being attacked for doing what is right. These verses are for you too. I pray that Jesus Christ will give you Victory in your circumstances. 10/14/2022 Even though we are to representatives of Jesus Christ there are some things that God has to take care of. I get tired of seeing all the corruption going on and I want God to start cleaning house now. I say, "God you should go in now and start doing it now." I am like the disciples of Jesus who were ready to call fire down from heaven when the Samaritans opposed them. Luke 9:51-56 Opposition from Samaritans 51 As the time drew near for him to ascend to heaven, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem. 52 He sent messengers ahead to a Samaritan village to prepare for his arrival. 53 But the people of the village did not welcome Jesus because he was on his way to Jerusalem. 54 When James and John saw this, they said to Jesus, “Lord, should we call down fire from heaven to burn them up?” 55 But Jesus turned and rebuked them.56 So they went on to another village. Jesus rebuked me also: God showed me my fallacies of my action. One: Our God is a God of love. He did not send Jesus here to send people to hell. He said, "I want to give people time to repent and come to me. I also want to use this time to wake up my church." Two: He wants to expose every dark secret to visibly show his people whats been going on in the darkness. This all takes time. Three: America's constitution was inspired by God. He will not do anything to circumvent his law. Our constitution does say treason and crimes against humanity will result in the destruction of many. But this is not my decision to make. So this is what I am going to do: Psalm 62 1 I wait quietly before God, for my victory comes from him. 2 He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will never be shaken. God has this all under control.. All I know is whatever he is going to do, it will be big. This is because we serve a big God. 10/11/2022 When my buddy witnesses to the gangs he is dealing with broken hearts and men with little hope. He usually brings up: Jeremiah 29:11: (New Living Translation) 11 For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. God's desire is to bless us and bring prosperity to everyone willing to go after it. We just need to remember why we were created. We all were placed on this earth to worship our King and serve him. A nation that does this is immensely blessed. Israel proved this in the old Testament and America has seen the result of this. But as Isreal also demonstrated their self destruction in the Old testament, America was in this same situation. We will never know how close we came to being decimated by our enemies. The restoration will be because covenant of the pilgrims with God and people praying: 2 Chronicles 7:14 (New Living Translation) 14 Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land. Now that God is going to soon restore America, we can make plans to enjoy this new freedom. Those of you going to college are your plans to just make money? Money is cool except when God is left out of the equation. That money can become a curse. If you are working already you may already be climbing that ladder of success. But where is God in this conquest? Have you been demonstrating a godly life talking about Jesus? Be careful about advancing your career. Proverbs has something to say: Proverbs 19:20-21 (New Living Translation) Get all the advice and instruction you can, so you will be wise the rest of your life. You can make many plans, but the Lord’s purpose will prevail. It is always good to pray about any plans you come up with to make sure that you will not regret your decision. The Holy Spirit can give you peace in making a decision. If you do not experience peace it may because the plan is not good. God wants people in the work force. The people you come into contact with may only have you to hear about Jesus Christ. This is one of the reasons why we are here is to bring the Gospel to everyone. Plans that have God behind them and in them will be successful because our King is being Glorified. God has given all of us talents to dream big things. Just make sure your dreams include God at the center of it. 10/10/2022 Why is it when we begin a terrible trial of some kind, that is when we begin to search for God. God seems to have just left the scene with us holding the bag. David had one of those moments: Psalm 63:1 (New Living Translation) A psalm of David, regarding a time when David was in the wilderness of Judah. O God, you are my God; I earnestly search for you. My soul thirsts for you; my whole body longs for you in this parched and weary land where there is no water. God never leaves us. It is us who leave him. He is like the dad in the prodigal son watching for our return: Luke 15:20-24 (New Living Translation) 20 So he returned home to his father. And while he was still a long way off, his father saw him coming. Filled with love and compassion, he ran to his son, embraced him, and kissed him. 21 His son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against both heaven and you, and I am no longer worthy of being called your son. 22 But his father said to the servants, ‘Quick! Bring the finest robe in the house and put it on him. Get a ring for his finger and sandals for his feet. 23 And kill the calf we have been fattening. We must celebrate with a feast, 24 for this son of mine was dead and has now returned to life. He was lost, but now he is found.’ So the party began. No other so called god does this for us. Isaiah has more to say about this: Isaiah 43:11-12 (New Living Translation) I, yes, I am the Lord, and there is no other Savior. First, I predicted your rescue, then I saved you and proclaimed it to the world. No foreign god has ever done this. You are witnesses that I am the only God,” says the Lord. Now this is the next question: Why do we seem to only search for God only when we have exhausted everything else. Here is the 24-7 answer to solve this question: Deuteronomy 13:4 (New Living Translation) Serve only the Lord your God and fear him alone. Obey his commands, listen to his voice, and cling to him. This verse means all the time. If you are not going through anything major, you should be giving thanks: Colossians 3:17 (New Living Translation) And whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through him to God the Father. Our God wants to be our guide throughout the ups and downs of our lives. All we need to do is let him while we try to live that godly life to honor him. If we keep our focus on God's Kingdom, we will be asking God for wisdom to handle whatever life, or the enemy brings against us. After winning against our own trials, we can be an encouragement to other believers who may going through similar trials. There is something to be said about being encouraged by another believer. 10/06/2022 Proverbs 27:1 (New Living Translation) Don’t brag about tomorrow, since you don’t know what the day will bring. When my buddy witnesses to each gang, he would always mention the fact, "No one is promised tomorrow, not even me. This may be the only opportunity to give your heart to Jesus Christ." Tomorrow is a gift from God. It is even more exciting if we are serving Jesus. Don't take tomorrow for granted. But we all know that many times tomorrow brings unexpected circumstances. Things can break down, an investment can go sour, or even people can change the outcome of tomorrow. Whatever happens, tomorrow could be the start of a new trial. This is why many of the mature Christians start the new day out with prayer. It can bind the enemy from coming against us. It can bring wisdom to catch and solve problems. The coolest thing that could happen is when the people you are working with fit in with your plans. Always make sure God is part of any plan you come up with tomorrow and be willing to change them if he says so. He may be protecting you from pending disaster. As we all should, start out the new day with thanksgiving. This pleases God and he will be more likely to answer your prayers. Have a blessed tomorrow. 10/04/2022 My college and career pastor told me when he dated his wife, Vickie, that they would only come together when they were visible to the public in the light. He said, "The temptation of dating a beautiful woman and doing improper things outside of a marriage, is something I do not want to test. I know that it is imperative to protect both of us from doing something not pleasing to our King. I know that I will not be able to do anything inappropriate while people are watching." So many times people do the opposite. They use the cover of darkness to commit sin. They say to themselves, "Nobody will ever find out." Philippians 2:15 So that no one can criticize you. Live clean, innocent lives as children of God, shining like bright lights in a world full of crooked and perverse people. Paul writes that we are being observed and will be discovered in our sins. We need to continue to live free of sin to set the example: 1 Thessalonians 5:5 For you are all children of the light and of the day; we don’t belong to darkness and night. 1 Thessalonians 5:8 But let us who live in the light be clearheaded, protected by the armor of faith and love, and wearing as our helmet the confidence of our salvation. John also talks about living in the light: John 3:20-21 (New Living Translation) All who do evil hate the light and refuse to go near it for fear their sins will be exposed. But those who do what is right come to the light so others can see that they are doing what God wants.” Paul writes that if our light is not real, we will be discovered: 1 Corinthians 4:5 So don’t make judgments about anyone ahead of time—before the Lord returns. For he will bring our darkest secrets to light and will reveal our private motives. Then God will give to each one whatever praise is due. You may not realize how important it is to be a light to the world because it convicts it. Once our light goes out the world becomes completely dark. Sin will become rampant because it will not have a check against it. This is the reason why we need to be bold and come against those things in our own life and in politics that are not pleasing to God. Your light does matter so let it shine brightly and combine forces with those who also are shining the light. We can become that church Jesus Christ is looking for before he can come back. 10/03/2022 After witnessing to the gangs in a Commerce City park, my buddy began witnessing on the street on Saturday night. Soon people started lining up to be prayed for. It is amazing how many people are out on the street after dark. The streets many times are even busy at 2:00 a.m. Later that evening, nine priest came up to him and talked him about him praying over the people. Earlier, they just came from a meeting and they were cruising the town and they noticed that there was about a dozen people waiting in line to be prayed for by my buddy. My buddy always places his hand on the person he is praying for. Lately, God has been bringing a lot of people to him. The people out on the street are becoming hungry for God. Those priests just sat there in their van and watched him for at least 15 minutes before they walked over to talk to him. After the priest conversed with him, my buddy asked the priests if they ever accepted Jesus Christ. It seems like an odd question to be asking a priest but they paused for a moment. They had to admit that none of them had. He began to explain to them about having that personal relationship with Jesus Christ. This brought me back to the story in John where Jesus was talking with Nicodemus. John 3 New Living Translation 1 There was a man named Nicodemus, a Jewish religious leader who was a Pharisee. 2 After dark one evening, he came to speak with Jesus. “Rabbi,” he said, “we all know that God has sent you to teach us. Your miraculous signs are evidence that God is with you.” 3 Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, unless you are born again, you cannot see the Kingdom of God.” 4 “What do you mean?” exclaimed Nicodemus. “How can an old man go back into his mother’s womb and be born again?” 5 Jesus replied, “I assure you, no one can enter the Kingdom of God without being born of water and the Spirit. 6 Humans can reproduce only human life, but the Holy Spirit gives birth to spiritual life. 7 So don’t be surprised when I say, ‘You must be born again.’ 8 The wind blows wherever it wants. Just as you can hear the wind but can’t tell where it comes from or where it is going, so you can’t explain how people are born of the Spirit.” 9 “How are these things possible?” Nicodemus asked. 10 Jesus replied, “You are a respected Jewish teacher, and yet you don’t understand these things? 11 I assure you, we tell you what we know and have seen, and yet you won’t believe our testimony. 12 But if you don’t believe me when I tell you about earthly things, how can you possibly believe if I tell you about heavenly things? 13 No one has ever gone to heaven and returned. But the Son of Man has come down from heaven. 14 And as Moses lifted up the bronze snake on a pole in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, 15 so that everyone who believes in him will have eternal life. These priest are like Nicodemus because they know things of God but have separated themselves from God. Until we give our hearts to Jesus we will never see the Kingdom of God. After we give our hearts to Jesus, he will send his Spirit in return. The Holy Spirit can make us bold for God's Kingdom. The gifts from his Spirit he gives us will edify the body of his church. Jesus is much more than something that exists. He wants to live in us as we live for him. My buddy has many stories on this kind of living and I am trying to write a lot of it down. If God wanted me to, I could write multiple books on living for God in just what happens in our Ministry. If you want excitement in your life, Live for God! Those priests began to cry as they began living for Jesus. They asked my buddy to meet them the next day. They wanted to ask him questions about what they need to do to better serve God. I cannot wait to see what is going to happen to their congregations when they become on fire for Jesus Christ. The same is true for you. Could you imagine how that same personal relationship with Jesus Christ would impact the people you come into contact with. It is our time to change the world for Jesus Christ. Isaiah 33:22 New Living Translation 22 For the Lord is our judge, our lawgiver, and our king. He will care for us and save us. 09/28/2022 We have all heard of the power our of God's word. But I am beginning to realize that even the physical form of The Bible bound in a book when you carry that it too has power to draw people. When my buddy goes out on the street many times God has him stand in a certain place with his bible physically so people can see it. Pretty soon he has A-line of people coming up to him and asking him for prayer. The latest thing that happened was a school bus pulled up on the street on Saturday night. They were some young teenage basketball players who took 3rd in a tournament and wanted to finish their trip touring Denver. They came from a rural area and the tall buildings are not seen where they live. The coach is always praying for his boys, but he wanted somebody that they don't know prayed for them. When he saw that Bible in my buddy’s hand, he immediately had the bus driver stop. He then proceeded to ask my buddy if he would pray for his boys on the bus. He walked by that bus driver with the Bible is his hand. The bus driver has never accepted Christ. The boys on that bus asked questions about the ministry for an hour and a half while they were being prayed over. This was enough to convince the bus driver that he needed Jesus Christ that night. Isaiah has something to say about this: Isaiah 55:11 It is the same with my word. I send it out, and it always produces fruit. It will accomplish all I want it to, and it will prosper everywhere I send it The Bible itself is nothing but paper and materials that rot but it is like the American flag because it represents the true God. But the words inside bring God’s presence. If you do not believe me, I can prove that the paper has the presence of God. In Chicago this summer my buddy witnessed to a Street 18 gang. The undercover police said they shoot at everyone who drives by them. God had him place his bible on the passenger side of the car. He had him open it to Isaiah 41:10: Isaiah 41:10 New Living Translation 10 Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand. He laid the bible face down on the passenger side windshield. When he was about to arrive, they had their pistols ready to shoot at him until the leader saw the open Bible. He signaled to his men to drop their weapons. He said, “We do not shoot at ministers.” He was with them most of the day and never got hurt. At the end of the day, they were ready to give their hearts to Jesus Christ. Meanwhile the undercover police were taking bets on how many bullet holes would be in the car they provided him when he returned. The undercover’s pastor knew the power of God’s word and said “zero”. The rest had more than 1 hole. The women were also taking bets on how many bruises he would have when he returned. Again, the pastor's wife knew the power of God’s word and said “zero”. Between them they made $1000 dollars. We have a ghetto ministry where we bless God’s families in need with money. When they found out what we were doing they did the same with that money. The rest of the undercover police wanted to do the same because they were beginning to see what fun it is to give. They are feeding those in their ghetto every weekend. This is all happening from God’s word. Just last week he met with a gang from San Diego who shot at everything that came near them. He did exactly what he did in Chicago. This time the leader’s bodyguard said, “We do not shoot at preachers.”. This gang too is giving their hearts to Jesus Christ. I do like my digital Bible to find things quickly, but you need to carry a physical Bible if you are called to witness to people on the street. God may tell you to stand in a certain location and not say a word. Soon people will see your Bible and start lining up for prayer. God is present when you hold onto his word. 09/25/2022 My buddy after he witnesses to the gangs, he will go out on the streets of Denver for the people who wandering around all hours of the night. Many are looking for answers and he tells them about the salvation of Jesus Christ. Lately, though people who call themselves Christians are coming up to him and are mentioning the emptiness they are feeling. If we don't totally commit ourselves to our King we are putting ourselves in danger of this happening to us. They are rededicating their lives to Jesus Christ for that fresh anointing. By that grace of Jesus Christ, it is now possible for us to enter into the kingdom of God because of what he did on that cross. It is now our time to show our appreciation to Christ by living a godly life. One of the cool things that happens when you live that kind of life, the number of sins you commit will greatly drop because of your desire to please him. I pray that this is true in your life already. It is true though that we will probably never completely stop sinning. John talks about this: 1 John 2:1 (New Living Translation) My dear children, I am writing this to you so that you will not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate who pleads our case before the Father. He is Jesus Christ, the one who is truly righteous. When you do not sin you never have to face the consequences of what that sin would entail. This makes life pretty darn good. But now we are representing Jesus Christ. Satan is extremely upset whenever we try to please God. He is going to bring every circumstance that is around you to try to take you down. Many times, these things will create hardships in your life. Many modern-day churches hide behind their doors to prevent conflict. The problem with this is that you become lukewarm to God. This is what God says about that: Revelation 3:16 But since you are like lukewarm water, neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth! If you are not seeing any spiritual warfare in your life, you may also be lukewarm. This is not a very good place to be in. GET BOTH FEET INTO GOD'S KINGDOM AND LEAVE THE WORLD BEHIND. Paul talks more about spiritual warfare to the church in Ephesus: Ephesians 6:12 For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places. Notice the word "fighting" in this verse. It is not a "debate" like the lukewarm want to do. I have watched the mature Christians as they will continuously pray to bind Satan up in their lives to minimize the damage that the enemy has on their life. Even then things can still go against us. Things like sickness, loved ones dying, losing a pet or expensive breakdowns can cause a lot of grief in our lives. God can prevent all this stuff from happening, but he chooses not to. He has a good reason why he lets us go through trials: Romans 5:3-4 (New Living Translation) We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. These things let us know if we are willing to stand with our King when things get rocky. I want to be conditioned to be "hot" so that if I would ever be persecuted that I would still endorse my King no matter what may happen to me. Lukewarm makes it too easy to substitute the pleasures of this world for my King. Did you ever think about the value of his gift he gave us and telling him to stick it because I would rather have what the world offers. He loves us just the same, but he will not acknowledge us before our Father where our salvation lies. So, if you are living a godly life and enduring the trials that come after you, you are not alone. If you handle your trials in a godly manner, you are pleasing the King. Rejoice that you are winning against your trials. 09/24/2022 The only thing that is keeping Jesus Christ from coming back the 2nd time time is that the whole world has not heard of his glorious name and the churches of today are totally divided. He is looking for the church that unites behind him and starts thinking exactly like he thinks. This church will push God's agenda instead of man's. This church will also be bold. This church will also come against the evil in our government and stand up for up for his beliefs. Some of this may be as simple as when we go to the voting booth. Are we going to pull the same lever that Jesus Christ would. If we do not, we are dividing his kingdom. 2020 is the year where we had two opposite agendas or platforms. One was godly and one was demonic. Some churches failed miserably at determining which was the right one. If you are not sure which one was demonic, it was the one that was supporting abortion, pedophilia, homosexual marriage, transgenderism and all the other weird stuff that dishonors God. Did you ever wonder what it would be like if Jesus Christ would come to America as man today. I know he would be like the man he was when he first came to Earth. His primary goal would you be to please the Father. I know he would get 12 more men to help him reach the world.. He would definitely have a lot more fun with all the technology that we have to reach men.. He would be out on social media proclaiming the gospel and would probably be censored because he spoke the truth. When it comes to churches he would be just like he was with the pharisees. Man, he would be telling many of them that what they are doing is wrong. He would tell them what they need to do to become the church that he wants. This is what he would say: 1 Peter 3:8 (New Living Translation) Finally, all of you should be of one mind. Sympathize with each other. Love each other as brothers and sisters. Be tenderhearted, and keep a humble attitude. He would then say: Philippians 2:1-2 (New Living Translation) Is there any encouragement from belonging to Christ? Any comfort from his love? Any fellowship together in the Spirit? Are your hearts tender and compassionate? Then make me truly happy by agreeing wholeheartedly with each other, loving one another, and working together with one mind and purpose. Now this is the way should be Living. The church then models this to the world. Get ready because the rest of the world would here about Jesus because of our newly found boldness. Now watch Jesus return. Just remember the condition of today's church is the only thing holding his return back.
