"For the Sake of Righteousness"

In this age of internet bloggers, online ministries and podcasts, everyone is filled to capacity with the next great message or the next great move of God. We use these forms of communications to give a perception of our deepness in the things of God. Sometimes we are deep in revelation and sometimes we over dramatize the simple instructions of God. Jesus preached with metaphors and analogies that were relevant to the people being ministered to. Today I feel we have lost the blueprint of ministry.We use our platforms to elevate ourselves and push for our own agendas. Our platforms were never created for self edification but to bring glory to the kingdom of God.

Every FB post I see or every news feed I come in contact with somebody has a new word, somebody has a new revelation on how God feels about homosexuality, lesbianism, abortions, Hip Hop and etc.
There is some pastor or clergymen who has molested a child or who has married a gay couple or who identifies as gay him or herself. Enough is Enough!!! Both sides are wrong and out of order.
God didn’t call you to condemn homosexuals just as God didn’t call you to be a homosexual. God didn’t call you to beat down and beat up pro-choice activists just as He didn’t call us to have abortions. 

 As it relates to the church, all you who declare to be sons and daughters of the true and living God and still faithfully indulge in life style choices not applicable to the scripture God shall strike you down swiftly. It is time to stop bringing mockery to the house and word of God. God is merciful and God is just but do not be deceived God will not be mocked, whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap. If your ministry is not rooted in the word of God and does not edify His kingdom of righteousness and right living then your ministry will be cursed and cast into the lack of fire. If your ministry does not minister to the hearts of His people then your ministry will be uprooted from the foundations of this earth. You churches who practice homosexuality and have pastors who are in same sex marriages and relationships, how dare you preach your lies and corrupt the gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 

If the prostitute has to change, and the drug dealer has to change and the adulterer has to change then so does the homosexual because in the eyes of God sin is sin and for the wages of sin is death. However we do have free will. That free will gives us as human beings the power to choose. The bible declares that we are to choose this day who we will serve. If you decide to live a life of homosexuality, lesbianism, fornication and etc then that is the choice that you have chosen but please do not use God and His holy scriptures to validate your lifestyle choice. God doesn’t agree with same-sex marriage, just as he doesn’t agree with fornication, adultery, thievery and murder. Just because you find some level of contentment doesn’t mean God created it. Sin did not come from the bosom of the Almighty. For sin is created out of the manifestation of your own lustful desires. So you who hold your signs of Jesus the Christ supporting the gay movement please STOP, its blasphemy and out of order. 

You who hold up your signs of hatred towards homosexuals please STOP, it’s out of order and not of God. God hates no man, God hates none of creations but He does hate the sins we find ourselves in. However out of His dislike for Sin came His gift to all mankind and that is the gift of salvation. For God so ever loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes on Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. God loves you and Jesus died for you. For love covers a multitude of sins. I beseech you my brothers and my sisters from all walks of life choose life today, turn away and repent from your selfish ways, leave the infatuation of sin, cut the ties of lust and declare your life back into the hands of He who created you. God loves you and He sees your emptiness and He sees the sin that has hardened your heart and blinded your eyes and He is calling you. He is calling out for you, His lost sheep, His prodigal son and daughter, SO STOP, LOOK,  LISTEN AND ACCEPT THE LOVE OF GOD TODAY FOR TOMORROW MAYBE TO LATE!!!!

“The Enemy Within Me”

We as Believers spend so much of our time studying demonic activity, possession and etc and trying to formulate concepts and ideologies that makes us sound deep that we miss the important foundational concepts needed for our advancement. We blame all mishaps, shortcomings, bad decision makings and bad situations on the devil. We give the devil way more credit that is due to him. We have to understand that the enemy has no power. He isn’t always attacking you or always tempting or causing you harm. In all actuality the person causing the most harm to you is YOU!!!

When Jesus died for our sins he defeated death, hell and the grave, stripping the devil of all of his power and authority. Your bible teaches that when we fall into sin it is because we have been drawn away by the lust and desires of our own flesh or our carnal nature. Your battle is not with the enemy; your battle is with yourself. It took me a while to gain this revelation and it took me going back to sin time after time to understand who the real enemy was.

If I can be honest, it wasn’t the devil who created sex site profiles, it was me, it wasn’t the devil who texted or called old sex partners it was me. It wasn’t the devil who bought and rolled and then smoked that blunt, it was me. It wasn’t the devil who cursed those people out it was me. My point is that we have to take responsibility for our own actions and get down to the root of the problem. We have to gain more self control and self discipline and all of that comes with being obedient to the word and voice of the Lord.
We spend too much to rationalizing and analyzing sin and not enough time listening and comprehending the will, ways and words of God. It was through disobedience that sin was even allowed to manifest. And it is that same disobedience that keeps us bound to our fleshly desires and pushes us farther away from the promises of God for our lives.

Let’s be clear,  if your actions were being controlled by the devil then you would be possessed and having sex would be the least of your problems. There is no way you can be saved and Holy Ghost filled and also be possessed by a demon. Not possible at all.  But that is for another post on another day. The whole purpose of this post was to just to take some time out to encourage and empower you to win the battle between you and yourself…It is time to take back your control and obey the will of the lord.
For a while now God has been calling me to minister and teach the gospel and for a while I have been disobeying. I even ran back to sexual sin just so I can have an excuse of why I wasn’t doing what thus says the Lord. But even in the midst of that God always sent people in my life that I had to minister to. And in the midst of my mess I found myself doing the very thing I was running from. He showed me that the reason behind Him orchestrating those events was so I can know that I wasn’t called because of my perfection or my intellect or my ability to stay holy. I was called because it was what He desired for me. I was called because He had chosen me and set me a part to be His prophet to the nations. So it is not by my strength or my perfection but only by the grace and mercy of the living God.

So my brothers and sisters don’t try and use sin as an excuse to not serve God. Do the will of God for your life and sin will have to be eradicated. Stop feeling guilty and stop feeling sorry for yourself and make it right. I had to repent and get back at the feet of Jesus and except the call and tonight I am about to teach bible study at my church. Is it my desire to sin again, no! Will I ever sin again, probably, but I have the favor of God and His love and mercy to help pick me back up and keep it moving. No longer will I allow the enemy within me to keep me from all God has called me to and I suggest you do the same.

"Cry Loud & Spare Not"

I wanted to make sure that my first blog post of the New Year creates a level of accountability for every person who is led to read what God has inspired. I rarely make comments about other’s opinions and ideologies but at the ending of last year there were a lot of media on the concepts of sexuality, religion, salvation and God’s opinion on these subjects. I am usually not the one to argue scripture or correct people but God spoke to me and told me it is time for me to “Cry Loud & Spare Not”.

For too long we have stayed in the shadows and behind the scenes allowing celebritized people to falsely declare tainted unsound Gospel. And try and pawn this false doctrine off as authentic. For too long I have said nothing. But that time is gone. God in all of His existence has never condoned, created or inspired sin. He has always allowed us to utilize our free will to choose whatever lifestyle and way of being we choose. He has never forced His will upon any of us. Yes He has and will always love each and every one of us unconditionally but He has never agreed, created or condoned sin in our lives. We have been drawn away by the lust and desires of our own flesh.

God never said that fornication was okay, or that homosexuality is ok. God has never said that it is ok to be a fornicator, an adulterer or a professed homosexual and also be a pastor, preacher, or teacher of His word. There is no such thing as a gay preacher or a whoring evangelist. Homosexuality as well as fornication as well as masturbation are all forms of sexual sin. Any one indulging in a lifestyle of such and confessing to be a born again Christian is spiritually sick and needs to be delivered from such things. I am by NO means saying God hate the “gays” or sexually loosed persons. For I myself am a product of the loving, saving and delivering grace of Jesus Christ. I myself no how it feels to be isolated because of my lifestyle choices and I myself know that homosexuality was not a lifestyle that God had destined for my life. It caused me so much pain and despair. So I am not saying that homosexuals are abominations and that God hates all people who indentify as such. I am saying that He hates the sin. He loves you but He hates what you do.  For the bible declares that while we were yet sinners God sent His son Jesus to die for us. God has not okayed or agreed to same-sex marriages or abortions. So no preacher called by the Living God should be supporting or even facilitating such unions.

I am not saying you don’t have a right to marry whom you choose because you have been given the gift of free will, HOWEVER YOU DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO IMPOSE YOUR FREE WILL OVER THE WILL OF GOD. YOU DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO VIOLATE SCRIPTURES. YOU DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO VIOLATE THE SANCTITY OF THE HOLY UNION OF MARRIAGE IN A SELFISH ATTEMPT TO GAIN RIGHTS TO SOMETHING NONE OF US CREATED. THE MANUFACTURER OF A THING DECLARES THE FUNCTIONALITY OF THAT THING. YOU CAN NOT TELL STEVE JOBS (R.I.P) HOW AN IPOD SUPPOSE TO WORKS SO HOW DARE YOU TRY AND TELL GOD HOW HIS UNION OF MARRIAGE IS SUPPOSE TO WORK.  IF IT WAS IN THE WILL OF GOD FOR MAN-MAN AND WOMAN-WOMAN TO BE MARRIED HE WOULD HAVE ALLOWED SUCH UNIONS TO BE ILLUSTRATED IN SCRIPTURES. HE WE WOULD HAVE GIVEN US A BLUEPRINT OF SUCH.

If you choose to live lifestyles according to how you feel, how you think and not according to the will of God then that is your choice and because of free will it is your God given right to choose whom and what you will serve. However it is borderline blasphemy for you to even imply that God created the sin you are in and God condones the sin you are in. Any Christian who believes in the blood saving sacrifice of Jesus Christ believes that the bible is the direct inspired words of God and it makes up the foundation of our faith. And there is no scripture in the bible that supports the foolishness of Ministers, Pastors, Clergymen and women professing to be homosexuals and fornicators and it being ok with God. How dare you build a physical tabernacle inviting a holy God to come and commune with you and your congregation but have it full of sin and degradation? How dare you have a church created to celebrate the lifestyle of homosexuality? How dare you have a church that preaches fornicators, thugs and thieves have to repent to be Saved but it’s ok for an homosexual to be who he/she is. That is not of God and your house shall fall.

In this year you will see the fall of these individuals. The House of Baal shall fall and God is raising up a remnant of believers that will “Cry Loud & Spare Not” and confess the true Gospel of Jesus Christ. It is time for us to wake up and become unveiled to the reality of who God is and what God does. For the bible says Holiness for without which no man shall see God. Holiness is a lifestyle. A life style of submission to the Spirit of the Living God.  Holiness means you have chosen to die to your will and take on the will of God. The bible teaches us that we have been crucified with Christ meaning that before you were saved you may have been an adulterer and a homosexual or a liar and a thief. You may have indulged in every impulsive act that brought you gratification but those old things are passed away and all things have become new with the newness of life that Christ provides. Paul said it so effectively, “I beseech you therefore brethren to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto the Lord.”

If you decide to identify yourself by your carnal nature and indulge in homosexuality, fornication, lesbianism, adultery then that is a choice you have made but do not blame God for your decision, Do not blame God for what you have decided to do and do not justify the sin you are in by trying to manipulate the scriptures and the people of God in an effort to support your cause. Because we do have free will it is up to us to live whatever life we choose to live, however the consequences are real, the wages of sin is death and the gift of God is eternal life.
