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!
