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!
