Do you have your Armor on? 

When it seem like life is pressing you down

I have been saying "it feels like my life is falling apart" It seems like I break down and cry at little stuff. It seems like everyone around me is just growing and full of joy. Why I am I so heavy? I keep trying to pray, shake it off, put on my "big girl panties", be slow to speak and quick to hear, etc. Then last night I just said Lord I am getting in my bed and when I wake up I just need a refreshing in my body and my mind.

When things seem like it's falling apart, it really may just be falling in place. Life is a trusting game. It's all about who you trust, how you trust and when you KEEP trusting. I know it's easier said than done but our TRUST must be GOD! Yes GOD alone. When you place your trust anywhere else and in people you find yourself bitter and hurt because they are human just like you.

Today is a new day, new grace and new mercy. Be refreshed today in the faithfulness of a loving Father. If you have been hurt by people, forgive! When you fail to forgive those who hurt you, you become a wide-open target for Satan. So do not give Satan the pleasure of taking advantage of you. (2 Cor 2:10-11) Freedom comes when we rightfully surrender to God and recognize Jesus Christ as our Lord!

Stability in life can only be found in Jesus. He is a firm foundation. In him we must abide and have our being. When your roots are grounded in Him it may seem like everything is falling apart but in God it is all working together for your good. TRUST HIM! No matter what it looks like today or even if it looks the same tomorrow, look to God! He is the same yesterday, today and forever more. Be merciful because the Lord is merciful to you!

The choice is really yours!!! Prayer does not change the situation prayer changes YOU. It changes the way you see people and the situation. You might be thinking "Why should I let them off the hook". And that is the problem. As long as you do not forgive, you are still hooked to those who hurt you! You are still hooked to the falling pieces in your life. The Lord is pruning us, removing the weeds, and some of us re-potting us in a bigger pot because we have out grown the old pot. If we stay in the old pot we will die! Change is hard when we are near sighted. The Lord is saying open you eyes and see GREATER things! Forgive today so that you can move into tomorrow.

It will cost you something, but it will be worth it in the end. So if life seems to to pressing in on you and it seems like things are falling apart, remember the Lord promise to be with you ALWAYS. He knows the plan and thoughts he has for you. He is a sovereign God and faithful! Trust him that everything is not falling apart it just falling in place!!!! 

Abiding Entry #1- Is Jesus my greatest obsession?

John 15:5 I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.

Apart from ME (Jesus, The vine, the source, the ransom for my sins, the lover of my soul) I can do nothing. 

As I have been thinking about what it means to abide, yesterday I was driving and a question I am still pondering on today popped into my mind. 

"Is Jesus my greatest obsession?" Do I think about him all the time. Do I desire to spend time with Him. Do I make it my business to make Him the first person I talk to in the morning and the last one before I go to bed. 

You know like our "first love." I remember being "in love" and wanting to spend every minute with my boyfriend. I remember when I first took notice of my husband. I would put myself in places to cross his path. He worked at a Food Lion 20 mins from where I lived. On the nights I knew he was working I would drive to Garner to get a 6-pack of coca-cola. It did not matter if he ever said a word to me. I would get all pretty and made sure he saw me. I wanted to see him and have him see me. People would call that obsession or as he says "You stalked me". 

Do I have that same affection for Jesus? Do I rearrange my schedule & go out of the way to abide in Him. 

I want my life to be filled with a obsession for Jesus. I want everything that I do to flow out of a obsession of Christ being my Lord and Savior. I want Him to be my one desire!

"One thing have I asked of the LORD, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to inquire in his temple." Ps 27:4 

Jesus today I pray that I seek you. I pray that I abide in you. I pray that all of my steps are ordered by you. I pray that everything I do, everything I say, & everywhere I go is from a place abiding. Lord I have been so detracted by temporary pleasure. Lord forgive me because I have a placed my affections and desires into things that will not last in eternity. Lord forgive me because my heart has been filled with worldly desires & selfishness. I turn to you today Lord. I set my gaze on a greater pleasure. I set my gaze on the GREATER PLEASURE! YOU!!! 

Sound the Alarm!

"Blow the trumpet in Zion; sound the alarm on my holy hill. Let all who live in the land tremble, for the day of the Lord is coming. It is close at hand-" Joel 2:1 NIV Greeting in the name of JESUS- He is Yahweh, The Lord strong and mighty- It is important to understand the hour that we are in. It is the last days and we must prepare. We must rid our hearts and not just our garments. I find myself continually being motivated by the word but allowing the cares of life to take that word. We must pray and fast for a fertile heart in this season. The enemy only can do what we allow him to do and he can only take what we willing release to him. He can not have your peace or your joy unless you give it to him. In this time we must focus outside of ourselves. It is time that we not just be hearers of the word but we must be doers. We can know God and deny his power. "As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath. But because of HIS great love for us, God who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions- its by GRACE you have been saved!" Eph 2:1-5 It's a free gift! The Lord looked at us and saw us in our blood. He did not pass by. He looked at us and told us to life. Let's not waste this gift on meaningless things. Let's surrender our all to the Lord and offer this gift to others. Blow the trumpet and sound the alarm! The Lord is sending us to GO and practice true, PURE and FAULTLESS religion. "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this; to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." James 1:27 In order to release the trumpet sound we can not be conformed to the ways of this world but we must be transformed by the renewing of our mind. Stand with me this week as I contend for the heart of God through His word. We have received this gift of salvation not just to hold on to it but to give it away. May the Lord Bless and Keep you cause His face to shine upon you!

Gird up your loins

My first Post for 2013! The Lord is faithful and just! I greet in the Name of my Lord and Savior JESUS. Who is author and finisher of my faith! Our God is a all consuming FIRE! I was going through my blogs today and I realized the fire that I had when I started blogging. In the past year the spirit of discouragement and complacency hit me hard. I have had friends walk away. I had friends that once ran with me in ministry no longer by my side. I have seen the young ladies that I ministered to and poured into walk away from their faith. It was a really hard year. Then today it was like a light bulb came on. It was like the all consuming fire began to burn in my bones. I began to encourage myself in the word. I realized that sitting down on God is not going to change my situation or anyone's life. I realized that I have been allowing people to die on my watch. I realized that I placed my trust in my image and material things more than I placed my trust in Christ. I realized that my relationships with people have shaped my relationship with God. I realized that I have been serving the blessings of God and rather than the lover of my soul- JESUS! So if you have felt defeated or felt like "I know I should be doing more, but what for", I say to you "Gird up your loins" with truth. Ephesians 6:14- Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God's righteousness." NLT It is time for us to get in the word of God and stand! God's word is the truth! We are in the mist of the greatness time in history. During this time the Lord wants us to STAND OUT and truly walk out the word. Living and Breathing the word is the only way we will stand in during these perilous times. We are in the greatest time in history because int he mist of everything the enemy is doing, souls will see the Glory of the Lord! The world is getting worst but we understand we serve the true and living God. We can not back down. We can not shrink back! We can not say "Well it's the last days" We have to be a voice crying out in wilderness. We have to proclaim JESUS in these last days. If you read 2 Tim 3:3-9 it speaks of the last days. It speaks of everything that we see all around us now. People being lovers of self. People being lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God. People with no self-control. People being lovers of money, proud, ungrateful, having a from of godliness but denying His power and much more. But like Timothy we know the word. You may not have a living example standing in front of you but all through out the word we can read of those that stood in the mist of lawlessness. We have to contend through the word. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness. We want to be equipped for every good work. So let's grid our lions with the word of the Lord. It holds everything together. Many of us have been distracted. We have allowed our eyes to get off of God. WE are looking at the things going on around us. Some have fallen into sin. Some have allowed the enticing and seducing spirits of Babylon to cause them to be "Sunday Christians". This means you read the word to see how close you can live to the sin line without falling completely in sin. Some have been hurt and walking in the spirit of offense. Whatever the case may be, know you surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses. Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on JESUS the pioneer and perfecter of faith!(read Heb 12:12-3) A generation needs us NOW! Lord cleanse our heart and mind with your hyssop and make us whiter than snow! We desire you more than the temporary pleasures of this life. We want to be set apart for your purpose! Our Lord is a all consuming fire. He has called us to love Him with ALL our heart, ALL our mind and ALL our soul. That leaves no room for any other thing. Let's keep our lambs burning! May the Lord Bless you and Keep you!

Who I am In Christ! A Purity Revolution!

The Love of the Father!

I am a PK- Preacher's Kid. I grew up in church all my life, I praise God for my upbringing, but I rejected God because I saw so much hypocrisy in church. It's not a good excuse now that I look back on it. The real issue was I learned how to do church, and I learned how to play the role but I never had a relationship with God.

I rebelled and turned to world. I found myself in sexual immorality. Sex was my drug of choice. Just like a crack head I did anything to have sex even when it meant compromising my identity. In Feb of 2002 I found out I was pregnant. After my daughter was born I slowed down for a while. After her father left, I got depressed and that lifestyle became my fall back. It was were I found comfort.But it did not last.

Hurt after Hurt and chasing my "baby daddy" wanting him to love me got old. I dealt with shame and guilt. This whole time I was living a totally different way by day. I was a college student, a dorm room RA, a leader on my campus and I was getting rewards for all my "great success". But the whole time I dying on the inside. ENOUGH was ENOUGH!

On September 23, 2003 I made up my mind to really give my life to Jesus. My daughter turned one years old that year. I vowed to God my body, my mind, and my heart. I took a vow of spiritual virginity. I asked God to restore me and to wash me of all my guilt and shame. I walked away from friends and I began to run after God with everything in me. I knew that the love I wanted could only come from the Father and the best dad for Mary would be Jesus.

But God’s plans are so much BIGGER. As I worked in the Kingdom and I set my eyes on the Father. I learned what real Love looked like. I learned what the word had to say about purity and righteousness. I made a vow that I would not date and I would wait until God sent me a Man of God. On September 26th, 2008 God said to me I will give you my love in the heart of Man that will love you as I love my church. He will show you the love that I have for you. I will give you a man that will be a father and Godly example for your daughter. I will give you a KING. On August 15th, 2009 God gave me my promise….. Ian “Joshua” Walker (who was a virgin!!!!!!!!!!)

It is nothing but the grace and mercy of God! The moment I released what I wanted to God and said nothing else matters if I don’t know you Lord … He released my blessing. God you are SOOOOOOO good.

I stand as a testimony of the Love of the Father! His love covers; His love washes; His love is fulfilling; His love never fails!

My desire is that Youth all over this nation will rise up and take a stand for Purity. My ministry is birthed from a place of restoration. I like to say that I am the Woman at the well! He filled my thirst with a greater Love. Then became the woman that poured her alabaster box at His feet! I gave him my all and His reward was greater than I could ever imagine.

That is why I host Purity Camps. On December 3rd, 2011 I will be hosting Purity Camp 2011 at the Furnace 309 Holman Drive in Garner, NC.

The theme this year is "RIOT - A Purity Revolution". Our youth are being pulled away from God by the temptations in the world. Purity Camp is a time to gather and encourage our youth to turn away from the world & keep their affections towards Jesus.

This event is for youth and young adults ages 15-25(College Students above 25-30 welcome). It will be a day full of deliverance and freedom for the youth involved.

I Signed Up to Die...Or Maybe Not?

For almost 300 hundred years, to be a Christian meant persecution, suffering, and often death. But now we get saved because we want our lives to be better. We think salvation means a new car, a new house, a husband, friends, or that all our troubles will end.

Almost 300 hundred years ago people signed up to die for Christ. The promise for their salvation was their head cut off, or them being stoned or hung.

I was thinking about this and I thought "Lord what did I sign up for?" Why do I call you my Lord and Savior? Is it because I want you do "great" things for me? Will I only stand for you and speak truth when everyone around me agrees with me?

In the times to come the "wheat" will be separated from the "tare". It will be evident who stands for Jesus and his ways and who stands for the enemy. (the lukewarm will be spit out)

Right now many Christians in America are comfortable with God because their needs are being supplied and no one is "head hunting" them. But times are approaching that the world will kill us for what we believe in. Our businesses will be shut down for what we believe. Pastors will be arrested and charged for preaching against homosexuality. We will be placed in jail and be on trial for the things we believe.

Who will stand during this time or who will back down.

Who will go to jail for standing against abortion and the homosexual agenda. Who will look in the face of real opposition and STAND for HOLINESS AND TRUTH.

Only time will tell why you Signed up to be a Christian.

Col 1: 10-14
10) so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God. 11) May you be strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy, 12) giving thanks[a] to the Father, who has qualified you[b] to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. 13) He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, 14) in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

Time the gap in Eternity...

Time is just a measuring tool and it has a expiration date. Are you living your time here in the earth for temporary pleasures or are you living for eternity.

Live is but a vapor... Here today and gone tomorrow. what are you living for?

What profits a man to gain the whole world and loose his soul?

The Parable of the Rich Fool
Luke 12:13-21
Someone in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”

Jesus replied, “Man, who appointed me a judge or an arbiter between you?” Then he said to them, “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.”

And he told them this parable: “The ground of a certain rich man yielded an abundant harvest. 17 He thought to himself, ‘What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.’

“Then he said, ‘This is what I’ll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store my surplus grain. 19 And I’ll say to myself, “You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.”’

“But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’

“This is how it will be with whoever stores up things for themselves but is not rich toward God.”

Time is just a gap in eternity.... Are you living for the gap or are you living for eternity. When we focus on the gap we place our trust in temporary things. We focus on "me and mine". We fit God into our schedule whenever it's convenient. Our praise is determined by how much stuff we have.

Do not live foolishly! Live for ETERNITY!

TRUST

Real trust is when you realize that you have no control!

We say that we trust God but when have we really released everything to God and left it there with Him to take care of it? Without faith it is impossible to please God!

Do you Trust GOD? How much did you try to control today?....




Matthew 6: 25-34
Do Not Worry 25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life[e]?
28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Who will arise & take their place?

In Romans 8:19 it says "The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed."

The Earth is waiting for the sons and daughters of the Lord to arise and take their place.

We are in the beginning of the end time birth pains. Mark 13:7-8. "When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines. These are the beginning of birth pains."

It is important that we understand the hour that we are in. It is the last days and we as the body of Christ must stand and take our place in the earth. We are called to be salt and the light of the world.

It's time for the church to arise and get on the wall. We must watch and pray in this hour. Luke 12:35-37 “Be dressed ready for service and keep your lamps burning, like servants waiting for their master to return from a wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks they can immediately open the door for him. It will be good for those servants whose master finds them watching when he comes. Truly I tell you, he will dress himself to serve, will have them recline at the table and will come and wait on them."

It's time that we interpret the times. We are the servants and God is our master. He is returning to judge the way we handled all that he has entrusted us with!

It's a NOW TIME! Do not put off for tomorrow what you need to do today! "Therefore I urge you, brothers, in the view of God's mercy, to offer your body as living sacrifices, holy pleasing to God-this is your spiritual act of worship."

Who will arise & take their place on the wall?

Simply the words of Jesus

Over the next weeks I will not be posting my words or my opinion on any matter. I will be simply posting the words of Jesus and I ask you to take a journey with me. Have we really embraced what Jesus said? After it's all said and done I want to line up with his words and his words alone.....

Luke 12 (The Message)

Can't Hide Behind a Religious Mask 1-3By this time the crowd, unwieldy and stepping on each other's toes, numbered into the thousands. But Jesus' primary concern was his disciples. He said to them, "Watch yourselves carefully so you don't get contaminated with Pharisee yeast, Pharisee phoniness. You can't keep your true self hidden forever; before long you'll be exposed. You can't hide behind a religious mask forever; sooner or later the mask will slip and your true face will be known. You can't whisper one thing in private and preach the opposite in public; the day's coming when those whispers will be repeated all over town.
4-5"I'm speaking to you as dear friends. Don't be bluffed into silence or insincerity by the threats of religious bullies. True, they can kill you, but then what can they do? There's nothing they can do to your soul, your core being. Save your fear for God, who holds your entire life—body and soul—in his hands.

6-7"What's the price of two or three pet canaries? Some loose change, right? But God never overlooks a single one. And he pays even greater attention to you, down to the last detail—even numbering the hairs on your head! So don't be intimidated by all this bully talk. You're worth more than a million canaries.

8-9"Stand up for me among the people you meet and the Son of Man will stand up for you before all God's angels. But if you pretend you don't know me, do you think I'll defend you before God's angels?

10"If you bad-mouth the Son of Man out of misunderstanding or ignorance, that can be overlooked. But if you're knowingly attacking God himself, taking aim at the Holy Spirit, that won't be overlooked.

11-12"When they drag you into their meeting places, or into police courts and before judges, don't worry about defending yourselves—what you'll say or how you'll say it. The right words will be there. The Holy Spirit will give you the right words when the time comes."

We have trusted SELF too LONG!

We sing the song I give myself away but it really has not manifested in our life.
I was listening to the message from John Mulinde at IHOP. It crazy because I am sitting here thinking I am not saved!

(Rev 3:1-3)These are the words of him who holds the seven spirits[b] of God and the seven stars. I know your deeds; you have a reputation of being alive, BUT YOU ARE DEAD. 2 Wake up! Strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have found your deeds unfinished in the sight of my God. 3 Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; hold it fast, and repent. But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what time I will come to you.

It is time for us to WAKE UP! It is time for us to BEAR FRUIT! It is time for us to really LET GO OF SELF.

If we are honest many in the body of Christ are living this life for the praises of man and we give God just enough to maintain our own comfortable life.
God is searching the HEART! Not your actions and you deeds. He wants your heart.

I am writing you from the place of no reputation right now! I am jacked up! I am telling you because when I look back over my walk and even right now my heart is wicked and my thoughts and imaginations are wicked. God is crying out for us to rid our hearts and not our garments.

Joel 12-13: “return to me with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning.” 13 Rend your heart and not your garments. Return to the LORD your God, for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, and he relents from sending calamity.

God is dealing with our ways and our human nature not just your actions. Many of our actions are because of the way that we think. It’s because we have convinced ourselves that God is just going to judge our actions but he knows our thoughts and our actions!

We are in a Saul moment. God is about to rip away our kingdom. That means the area of influence that we have. He is exposing the motives of the heart! We are more concerned about the people and not about the fear of the Lord. We are concerned about how the people see us. Our sin is not against man it is against God. We are doing things and ministering in human effort with self exaltation. It has nothing to do with God’s heart and God’s desire for us.

Jer 6:14: “They dress the wound of my people as though it were not serious.”

We are bleeding. We are wounded with iniquity, strife, bitterness, jealously, doubt, compromise, unbelief, anger, hatred, fear, un-forgiveness, lust and perversion. We are wounded in our minds and because we may not be acting these things out we think that it is okay but our hearts are wicked.

While our deeds are appearing holy, our hearts are wicked. I cannot tell myself enough and I can say it enough. God is really not concerned with your works as much as he is concerned with your heart.

I do not know about you but I’m tired of playing the role. I tired of doing this within myself. My human efforts will not work anymore. I want to see God and I want to go to heaven. It’s not about the temporary pleasure of sin or temporary praise of man. It’s about God seeing holiness and righteousness in us.

It’s time for us all to WAKE UP! It’s time for us TO RID ourselves of SELF! Lord Help us!

To Be Known By God is To Be LOVED BY HIM!

When someone ask me why I go so hard, this spoken word tells everything I could ever say. The bottom line is He loved me when I could not love myself. He rescued me and still till this day... NO ONE CAN LOVE ME LIKE GOD DOES and I give my life to this thing. I don't thirst for temporary pleasures anymore!

FORGIVE so that you can be pushed into your RESURRECTION STATUS!

God wants to release a Third Day experience in your life but it’s about the position of your heart. Bitterness and Hatred Kills and it’s not the other person it’s YOU.

Over the past few months I have been tested in the area of unforgivness and bitterness. It’s easy to look at the people hurting me, mishandling me, and lying on me but reality is God is saying “I’m looking at your heart”.

In Matt 26:39 before Jesus is about to be persecuted he cries out to God.
vs. 39 Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.”

Jesus Christ went to the Father 2 more times. In the end His heart cry was “NOT MY WILL BUT YOUR WILL BE DONE”. A lot of times when we are about to go to our cross we get bitter and try to avoid the cross. For the next few chapters you read on to see how Jesus went to cross peacefully forsaking all for you and me. Guess what, in the last words he said “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” (Luke 23:34)

Jesus walked in LOVE the entire time and he understood that what they were doing to him was just pushing Him to his PURPOSE and the PLAN that GOD had for Him! RESURRECTION!!!!! Luke 24:7 says “The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, be crucified and on the 3rd day be raised again.”

When we are going through we have to understand that God has a THIRD DAY PLAN for our life. It will not be easy to the flesh to be persecuted, lied on, talked about, mistreated, and abuse but when your heart is right you can look in the face of your accuser and bless them and forgive them.

When you understand that this is not until death you will keep your heart pure and undefiled. You will reject to voice of the enemy telling you to fight back; telling you defend yourself; telling you hold on to hurt and unforgivness; telling you, you have to the right to be angry. IT’S ALL A LIE! It’s a set up to cause you to miss your destiny.

The blood of Jesus is crying. “Give mercy, forgive them, for they know not what they do,” Mercy triumphs over judgment (James 2:13) We don’t realize the subtle trap of the enemy. Satan wants us to demand justice then he will be legally entitled to bring into our lives all the reaping and punishment that we deserve.

Jesus through his death and resurrection showed us how to defeat our accusers and the enemy single handedly. Jesus rose on the third day and the Holy Spirit is saying now “you will rise above the words and pain of the enemy if you walk in love completely.” Right when the enemy is rejoicing over your defeat you will rise victorious.

You may be feeling entitled to hold on to the hurt and the pain. Believe me I have been laughing that God all week. I had a whole conversation with him stating my case to Him like Jesus did in the Garden. But His answer is still the same, “Pick your cross, my plan is greater!”

(From the book on The Important of Forgiveness by John Arnott)
“Someone once told me that as a Christian I didn’t have rights anymore. This is absolutely true. The only rights we have are to be completely forgiven, to go to heaven when we die, to be a love slave to the Lord Jesus Christ and to rely completely on Him for everything.”

God is releasing the “Third Day Plan” “If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.” Luke 9:23

Have you ever noticed that in the Lord’s Prayer we pray “Forgive us our debt AS WE ALSO HAVE FORGIVEN our debtors.” Then it goes on to say “For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. BUT if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins. (Matthew 6:12;14-15)

So do not miss you destiny because you trying to get justice. FORGIVE so that you can be pushed into your RESURRECTION STATUS!

Here are some prayer points that the Holy Spirit gave me:

From Romans 12:9-21

Lord let me be sincere. Let me hate what is evil and cling to what is good

Lord restore my zeal so I can keep my spiritual fervor

Give me the grace to be joyful in hope, patient is affliction, and faithful in prayer

Give me the grace to bless those who persecute me and give me the grace to bless them and not curse

Help me not to be proud but let me willing to associate with people of low position

I will not be conceited

Give me the grace to not repay anyone evil for evil

Let me do everything in my power to live at peace with everyone

I will not seek revenge, but I will leave room for God’s wrath for it is written “It is mine to avenge, I will repay” say the Lord

ARISE Generation!

I posted this blog before but this is truly a cry NOW. 2011 is the year that a generation of young people will come out of the pit of darkness, come out of religion and tradition and really rise up and serve GOD for real!

God is Raising up a GENERATION now! God is raising up blazing ones.

Matthew 24:12-13 states that "And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. But he who ENDURES to the end shall be saved"

Has your heart grew cold with religion and sin? Have you become so comfortable in your sin and lawlessness that you no longer house the love of God. Have you been so comfortable going back to the vomit of sin and yet calling yourself a Christian. ALERT! Your heart is growing COLD!

When I think of a cold heart, I think of DEATH! The wages of sin is death. Some people are the walking dead and just wearing a toe tag that label them a Christian. God is not mocked and He is a man that can not lie! He is coming back for those that endure. He is coming back for those that are on FIRE with his LOVE! ARISE DRY BONES and live.

Can these dead and cold bones (hearts) live. The Spirit of the Lord says YES! ARISE!

ARISE generation with GUTS to stand against the persecution, lies, rebellion, and torment. No matter where the torment is coming from, (friends, families, or enemies) the Lord is answering with a great thunder from heaven and He is overturning some stuff. He is shaking the rebellion in the land and what is righteous will be left standing.

SO I release a CRY to the generation to ARISE! DRY BONES & LIVE! Jer 1:17- Therefore prepare yourself and ARISE and speak to them all that I command you. Do not be dismayed before their faces, Lest I dismay you before them... vs. 10 - See, I have set you over the nations and over the kingdom, TO root out and TO pull down, TO destroy and TO throw down, TO build and TO plant.

Testimony of Ex- Homosexual

My prayer is that more people in the church will speak out and share their testimony because the young people need to know that JESUS saves! Below is a link to a testimony about a young lady who was in the lifestyle of homosexuality. This is in response to someone asking me to show people how to get out of the lifestyle of Homosexuality.

Jesus Christ is here for anyone struggling with ANY SIN! He wants you to come and lay your sin at His feet. No one is perfect but we are forgiven! No matter what the sin is, Jesus is standing there with open arms saying let me show you the way and the truth. Again God loves YOU but He HATES SIN NO MATTER WHAT THE SIN IS. I do not believe in attacking people in this lifestyle I believe in telling you God has a better plan for your life. God cares about you and he wants you to know that His Love = FREEDOM from ALL SINS.

This is her testimony in the form of a spoken word. She answers so many questions at the end of the spoken word as well so please watch and listen:

The Truth about Grace

On my last blog about Elton John and David Furnish (his partner)someone posted:
"Don't you think u r little bit hard? God is love and he understand that these men need each other. The word say his grace is sufficient so that means all they need is his sufficient grace to help them. he has forgiven them.

The Truth about GRACE! Roman 5 Paul taught that "where sin increased, grace abounded all the more" (vs 20)
but he quickly went on to say that this is no incentive to careless living: What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace might increase? MAY IT NEVER BE! How shall we who died to sin still live in it? (Romans 6:1-2)

1 Pet 2:6 Live as FREE men, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as servants of God.

GRACE= a NEW LIFE Old things and it's evil desires are passed away- (Homosexuality IS A SIN. It is a EVIL DESIRE!)

Romans 6:13 Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as a instrument of righteousness. vs 14 For sin shall no longer be your master, BECAUSE you are not under the law, but under grace.

So to answer this person's question. NO I am not being hard, I am speaking truth! God will forgive them if they repent and Repentance means to TURN AWAY. God's Grace is sufficient for those fighting to stay free from Sin not any of us that will continue in sin.

DO NOT MISHANDLE GRACE. And just in case you think I am casting a stone. READ the story again. John 8:2-11. The last word of JESUS vs 11 "Then neither do I condemn you", Jesus declared. " GO NOW AND LEAVE YOUR LIFE OF SIN" After Jesus shows us grace, he also expects us to walk out of the sin when he forgives us of.

Again like I posted in my last blog, NO SIN IS GREATER THAN THE OTHER! What these men need and anyone trapped in sin needs is JESUS! The LOVE OF JESUS IS TO SET US FREE FROM A LIFE OF SIN!

Not Called to be GOOD! We are called to be RIGHTEOUS!

You can check out the interview for yourself at the link below!Joel Osteen was asked if Homosexuality is a sin and he sugar coated his answer-- I was waiting to hear some word come on his mouth...
http://cnn.com/video/?/video/bestoftv/2011/01/24/piers.osteen.homosexuality.cnn

Okay my brothers and sisters! Will you stand for something! The enemy is making a mockery of the Christian Faith and GOD! Period... We are not called to be GOOD people we are called to be RIGHTEOUS. Joel Osteen had a great platform to stand on in his interview with Piers. He allowed the spirit of the world to literally PUNK HIM!

Come On CHURCH we better start standing for something or we are going to FALL for ANYTHING.

This is unacceptable! Yes God loves the person but he HATES SIN! The photo that you see on this blog is on the cover of magazines in our grocery stores! Our children will grow up in a world where this is the norm. WE better start taking a stand without apology!

It's situations like this that will determine who is on the narrow road or the wide road! "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and MANY enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a FEW FIND IT." Matt 7:13-14

The Church has watered down the gospel. Jesus did not preach a message to build you up to be a better you! He said "Whoever doesn't take up his cross and follow me doesn't deserve to be my disciple." (Matt 10:38) Then he said "The person who tries to preserve his life will LOSE IT, but the person who loses his life for me WILL PRESERVE it. (Mark 12:30)

So why is the church preaching this "All about ME and ME being GOOD PERSON..you know JESUS LOVES ME JUST THE WAY I AM." I really want to stop the press and say IT'S NOT ABOUT Jesus LOVE FOR YOU! THE QUESTION IS "DO YOU LOVE HIM?" Not the Love the world understands, but the love his word commands. IF YOU LOVE ME YOU WILL KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS!

So I ask, "WILL THE REAL CHURCH PLEASE STAND UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Don't love the world and what it offers. Those who love the world don't have the Father's love in them. 1 John 2:15

Piers asked Joel in the interview what would you say to a Homosexual.. Here what His answer should the have been:

Homosexuality is a sin (yes it's no bigger than any other sin) It is the spirit of the age! It's like all other sin. The father of lies, Satan, has deceived our nation to believe that this is a act of nature and you were born this way. We are all born into sin and we must be born again. This is a sexual sin and Romans 1:24-27 sates "Therefore God gave them over to the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the DEGRADING of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the TRUTH of GOD for a LIE, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator (your house, your car, your career, all those things are created things or opportunities that the Lord gave you).....Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the man also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion."

Anyone in the sin of Homosexuality must first REPENT for the SIN of Sexual immorality. Recognize that their body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and therefore they must FLEE from immorality. (1 Cor 6:18-2)(Eph 5:11-21)

Realize that LOVE OF GOD FORGIVES THEM not Tolerates sin. (1 Cor 6:9-11) (Micah 7:18-19)

And by the power of God they can lay down that sin and change (not to be a better person but to be a person holiness and righteousness). (2 Cor 5:17) (John 8:36) (1 cor 10:13)

Then they have to build themselves up in the word of God and understand that the flesh is always weak but the spirit of God living inside of them is willing! (Gal 5:16) (Ps 141:4) (Rom 6:6,11-14,19)

God has called us to FLEE the evil desire of youth, and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

So my prayer is that the church will begin to speak boldly against the deception of the enemy. That we will speak with Love but speak TRUTH. We have to stop trying to be politically correct and be biblical correct.

Go Hard or GO HOME... After all, God's saving kindness has appeared for the benefit of ALL PEOPLE. It trains us to avoid ungodly lives filled with worldly desires so that we can live self-controlled, moral, and godly lives in this present world. (Titus 2:11-12)

It's Time For A Sober Awakening!

1 John 2:16-17 (GOD’S WORD Translation)16Not everything that the world offers—physical gratification, greed, and extravagant lifestyles—comes from the Father. It comes from the world, and 17the world and its evil desires are passing away. But the person who does what God wants lives forever.

Salvation comes to save you from yourself and to save you for the Glory of Jesus.

Christian life is often presented to us as all the benefits that God came to give us. Instead of calling us to deny ourselves Jesus is mainly presented to us as the one who offers – physical gratification, greed and extravagant lifestyles-.

We have been guilty of believing that God exist for us rather of us existing for Him. The gifts that God gives us- forgiveness of sin, increase in our finances, good marriages, healing in our body, revival, “feeling” the anointing, etc.- are to lead us into the exaltation of the Giver.

We have been guilty of serving God based on what He can do for us.
Philippians 3:7-9 (GOD’S WORD Translation) 7These things that I once considered valuable, I now consider worthless for Christ. 8It’s far more than that! I consider everything else worthless because I’m much better off knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. It’s because of him that I think of everything as worthless. I threw it all away in order to gain Christ 9and to have a relationship with him. This means that I didn’t receive God’s approval by obeying his laws. The opposite is true! I have God’s approval through faith in Christ. This is the approval that comes from God and is based on faith.

It’s time for the church to sober up and see that we have been bewitched to believe that God is just our sugar daddy! It’s time to stop serving a selfless God with our selfish behaviors!

Are you prayers full of request and not full of adoration of the Most High King?
Are you easily moved with compassion and love towards others (outside of your family)?
Are you giving or are you always looking to for what you can get or gain?
Do you serve God at your convenience?
Do you praise God only when you “feel” Him?
Are you willing forsake all for the sake of Christ: Mother, Father, Sister, Brother, wife, or child even your own life

**This is note for those that claim you are in a cult when you no longer move the way they want you to**

This is the words of JESUS: Luke 14:26-27 (GOD’S WORD Translation)
26“If people come to me and are not ready to abandon their fathers, mothers, wives, children, brothers, and sisters, as well as their own lives, they cannot be my disciples. 27So those who do not carry their crosses and follow me cannot be my disciples.

And the big Question: Are still trying to live in the world and in church?
1 John 2:15-17 (GOD’S WORD Translation)
15Don’t love the world and what it offers. Those who love the world don’t have the Father’s love in them. 16Not everything that the world offers—physical gratification, greed, and extravagant lifestyles—comes from the Father. It comes from the world, and 17the world and its evil desires are passing away. But the person who does what God wants lives forever.

So I challenge you to deny yourself (Jesus Said it first) Luke 9:23-25 (GWT)
23He said to all of them, “Those who want to come with me must say no to the things they want, pick up their crosses every day, and follow me. 24Those who want to save their lives will lose them. But those who lose their lives for me will save them. 25What good does it do for people to win the whole world but lose their lives by destroying them?

In all that you do, do it for the GLORY OF GOD- 1 Cor 10:3131So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything to the glory of God.

Throw off everything that hinders you1Since we are surrounded by so many examples of faith, we must get rid of everything that slows us down, especially sin that distracts us. We must run the race that lies ahead of us and never give up. 2We must focus on Jesus, the source and goal of our faith. He saw the joy ahead of him, so he endured death on the cross and ignored the disgrace it brought him. Then he received the highest position in heaven, the one next to the throne of God.

And keep your love geared towards God and not personal gain Rev 2:2-4 2I know what you have done—how hard you have worked and how you have endured. I also know that you cannot tolerate wicked people. You have tested those who call themselves apostles but are not apostles. You have discovered that they are liars. 3You have endured, suffered trouble because of my name, and have not grown weary. 4However, I have this against you: The love you had at first is gone.

Sober up! DENY yourself all just the FIND yourself!
