A SEASON OF APOSTASY IN THE CHURCH: YOU MAY NOT BE WHERE YOU THINK YOU ARE

READ THIS....
#ICareAboutYourSoul

Loss of momentum and losing your first love leads to Apostasy.
Apostasy is disaffliation from what you believe; it is embracing an opinion contrary to your previous belief; it is neglecting your spiritual disciplines.; it is turning away and abandonment from your church; It is neglecting the relationship, the communion you once had with God.

When you lose your love for the TRUTH, when you begin to shrug off conviction, all you really want is a cover for your sin. 
Apostates seek to find a covering outside the covering of the church and once they have separated 
members should have no dealings with apostates.
Listen to the Word
Romans 16; 17-18 Now I beseech you brethren, mark them diligently which cause division and offences, contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned, and avoid them. 18 For they that are such, serve not the Lord Jesus but their own bellies, and with fair Speech and flattering deceive the hearts of the simple.

Conversations will consist of subtle reasonings claiming that what you believe is not the truth.
If you feel like this won't affect you because you are strong in the faith and truth and you have nothing to fear...Listen to the word
1 Corinthians 10:12 Therefore let the one who thinks he stands firm [immune to temptation, being overconfident and self-righteous], take care that he does not fall [into sin and condemnation]

You are not aware of the spirit this person - the spirit that caused them to leave the covering is working in them to pull you out as well. You cannot spend quality time or interject yourselves into groups [exposig yourselves to various spirits] in order to win them back.

The spirit that caused them to leave the covering is now working through them to pull you out as well. Entertaining their subtle reasonings can cause you to fall prey to questioning and doubt.
Listen to the word
1 Thessalonians 2:2-3 That ye be not suddenly moved from your mind, nor troubled neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter, as it were from us, as though the day of Christ were at hand. 3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a departing first, and that-that man of sin be disclosed, even the son of perdition.
Luke 8:13; Matt 13:21
*2 John 9-11
Everyone who goes on ahead and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God. Whoever abides in the teaching has both the Father and the Son. If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house or give him any greeting, for whoever greets him takes part in his wicked works.

When you abandon your church because of self-will/self-righteousness because of the truth this is apostasy (If the apostates you entertain were the same they would not have left and or things would have been done decent and in order)
Listen to the word)
1 John 2:18-19 Little Children, it is the last time, and as ye have heard that Antichrist shall come, even now there are many Antichrists: whereby we know that it is the last time. 19 They went out from us, but they were not of us: for if they had been of us, they should have continued with us. But this cometh to pass, that it might appear, that they are not all of us.
2 Tim 4:3 When you abandon the faith shortly after receiving salvation to go back into the world this is backsliding.

When you continue to walk with someone after they have abandoned the Faith: Not only do you jeopardize your own faith but you are walking with the dead... someone who has flatlined spiritually because they have deviated from the normal pattern and separated from the heartbeat of the church

It is not for you to keep pleading with someone who has departed from the faith or from the church; they have made their decision. If they do not receive you 
Shake the Dust off your feet Matthew 10:14 
Do not allow someone else to defile you or else you become like them lead away by compromise, entertaining debates and/or the lusts of your flesh.

BE CAREFUL FOR NOTHING!!!!! 

#SistahSarah

The Wait is just a Process

Your Blessing, Your Breakthrough 
May seem as Far and as Distant as a "Needle in a Haystack";
Just know, that IT IS THERE:
BELIEVE GOD!
YOU CAN TRUST GOD!

GOD's Ways are above our own, His Timing perfect.
The Waiting is just a Process Eliminate negativity from your thinking:
Remember.
Be Anxious for nothing, it leads to Worry - Worry leads to Fear which is not of God; Fear is Torment, and leads to Stress.
Can you see how it is a chain reaction?
The enemy works in an attempt to discredit the Promises of God. We know GOD is Beyond any Doubt. GOD's word is Sure and is a sure Foundation on which one can build. GOD cannot be dis-credited.
The enemy whispers in our ear (The money won't be here in time. God will understand if you use your tithes to pay that bill.) Imagine a court of law, the enemy trying to embed doubt and if he accomplishes his goal he has then Interfered with our breakthrough and Blocked our Blessing.
See within a Court of Law, if a prosecutor is able to Prove Reasonable Doubt then the case is thrown out and the accused set free. Do not give the enemy room to deceive you
Train your Mindset, call those things that are Not as though they Are. Hold God to his word and Wait with expectation.
*Speak Life into your Request, continuously. Seek for The Peace that God Provides through the Process.
All I am doing right here is telling you what the word says, exercise your Faith like a muscle and it will get stronger.

Ref: Num 23:19; Phil 4:6-7; James 1:6

Repentance is When you Change

WE SHOULD ALL ,...ALWAYS HAVE A REPENTANT HEART
READ EZEKIEL 18:20-32

Do not let the enemy deceive you God does not hate you. GOD HATES SIN!!
We serve a Loving GOD, to whom we can go to at anytime. AGAPE means his Love is unconditional. GOD knows we are imperfect beings and knows that we make mistakes. The enemy would like to condemn us to those mistakes but, we have an Advocate: 
1 John 2:1 (KJV) My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
1 John 2:2 (KJV) And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

When sin is forgiven, it is Blotted out, It is no more remembered (Psalms 51) and is available to everyone God has no respect of persons. 

Forgiveness is an act of GODS Grace to forget transgressions we confess - without condemnation.

* Pride: interferes with our forgiveness. Pride keeps us from confessing our mistakes to God.
* Not having, a true intimate relationship with God hinders our forgiveness.
* Apostasy (Lukewarm) interferes with our forgiveness
* Not forgiving those who have wronged us interferes with our forgiveness

As you read Luke 3:10-14 you will see that when we repent there should be an outward expression of that Repentance this is not simply saying, I'm sorry only to turn and do the same thing next week NO!! A change needs to take place. I heart truly sorrowful realizes there offence and is equally hurt in that they do not seek to keep making the same mistake over and over then this is now ...Premeditated Sin and you are taking GODS Grace for granted. Lord, Shake Every Carnal Foundation let the spirit of conviction remain with them. 
#ICareAboutYourSoul You Should Too #SistahSarah

Scripture Reference:
Romans Chapter 8 (KJV)

8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

How can you Forget GOD?:

Part 2: STOP! Entertaining the devil! Part 2

This part of my Topic hits home so like the Pastor I was under in Germany Elder Ted Scott use to say, Just say Ouch! Consider me like your big sister in the Lord, I am tired of seeing the enemy defeat my Brothers and Sisters in Christ. I see it, and I Pray that you will receive the word into your spirit and stop allowing the enemy to deceive you #ICareAboutYourSoul no, it won't happen overnight this is a part of your spiritual walk that you have to put into practice so that your natural mindset will change. His word will not return unto him void.

Entertaining the devil doesn't always take place on his territory (clubs, etc.)

Unless you subject yourself to his control. We tend to entertain the devil through our thoughts, actions and with our words.

Part 2 is How can you forget about GOD? Because, even the elect shall be fooled. When trouble comes when things do not go as planned we forget about the word and in doing so we forget to speak the word over our situation and even fail to believe and trust his word. Wow, Thank You, Holy Spirit.

James 2:19 tells us even the demons believe and tremble.

Galatians 5:7 you were running well, who prevented you from the truth? See what happens when we get side-tracked with the cares of this world we lose momentum, we lose focus,

Matthew 24:24 Even the elect shall be deceived. It doesn't matter your status or position you too and be fooled by the enemy Evangelist, Ministers, Missionaries you are not immune.

If the enemy is allowed to deceive you with something as insignificant as a headache. How is it, you think you cannot be deceived elsewhere.

DON'T YOU KNOW YOU CAN'T TRUST YOUR FLESH! Jeremiah 17:9

People will miss church for a headache a stomachache okay, your healing is not at home your deliverance is at the house of God. Have you ever felt sick and pushed your way on to church and felt better once you start praising God. See my point there is a difference between someone who entertains the devil and someone who believes the word of GOD

How is it that you forget…

My God will supply your needs Phil 4:19

That "He" will teach you Ps 32:8

That when trouble comes his help is present Ps 46:1

That you are not alone Isaiah 41:10

That - You Can! Can't is obsolete Phil 4:13

That when you do not know what to do you have instruction Mark 11:23 God has blessed us to have Prophets among us Deuteronomy 18:18

I ask you, Do we Truly Believe God? Or, Just in some areas? Matthew 12:34-37

It's all or nought Saints if you say, you trust and believe God - Trust and believe God in season and out. If you have Faith in God for Healing but, do not trust him with your finances you are being inconsistent.

Whatever the difficulty of the situation. It does not matter how impossible it looks to You. Remember this:

IMPOSSIBLE BARRIERS, DO NOT HINDER GOD!! (Hallelujah, Thank You!! Father) STOP! Entertaining the devil Stop, letting him sit at the table of your mind feeding you garbage.

And, another thing people of God, EXPOSE THE ENEMY! It used to be a time when the people of God, would get up testify and say, I'm going through they would expose that there was a spiritual attack and the people of God would go into their prayer closets and intercede for their brother or sister and look forward with expectation to hearing How God brought them out.

Nowadays, The enemy has you holding on to trouble like miser and has you pre occupied in your thoughts battling inwardly, because you don't want people in your business. (Whaat?) It is the business of God to set your free, to loose those shackles and break strongholds in your life. YOU ARE ENTERTAINING THE DEVIL! And your little feelings right there, is what is going to keep you bound. Let me share with you what the enemy is doing he is isolating you and he is likely, doing it because he knows you do not Pray, Fast and Study enough to fight him on your own. He whispers in your ear keep people out of your business because he doesn't want someone with power to come along and help you fight because two or three God is in the midst. Two can put a thousand to flight.

YOU CANNOT RESIST A DEVIL, THAT YOU CONTINUE TO ENTERTAIN!!

I was riding, in the car with a friend and they began to talk and share somethings with me and the Lord, showed me exactly how the enemy was manipulating this person this was a few months back I had to tell them look this is what is happening. I said, that to say this Brothers and Sisters I am so blessed, to share with you what the Holy Spirit gives to me and  I pray that it helps you to get your defenses up against the wiles of the enemy (See Part 1) #ICareAboutYourSoul So, should you. I Love You and God Bless you.

#SistahSarah #NAG #NewAppointed

STOP! Entertaining the devil!

• Sub-Topic: How could you forget GOD?)?

Ephesians 4:27 (Read Eph 4:26-28)

I asked, the Holy Spirit what to tell the people today and he said, "Tell them to STOP, Entertaining the Devil"

• When you refuse to acknowledge those big or little things that hinder you.
• When you give in to the Flesh.
• When you hold on to stuff (The past, bitterness, anger, resentment, grudges)
• When you compromise with the Flesh. (Your Feelings will fool you)
• When you Shrug off Conviction; When you Shrug off the Truth

YOU ARE ENTERTAINING THE DEVIL!!

Let's take a closer look. Here's some things to be aware of:

To entertain: To give attention or consideration to (An idea, suggestion or feeling.)

 Power of Suggestion:

Suggestion is the psychological process  by  which one person guides the thoughts, feelings or behavior of another.

EX. Suggestion

A rabbits foot=The suggestion that you will obtain or have luck

A glass of wine =suggests that you are being social, alleviate depression, or will have a good time

A pill= suggest that it will make you feel better, your pain will go away, or heal you

What are the wiles of the devil (Eph 6:11):

The wiles of the devil are devious or cunning stratagems employed in manipulating or persuading someone to do what he/she wants through lure or enticement.

Discouragement, confusion, indifference, doubt, influence come from the enemy.

What we expect influences our behaviors for better or for the worse.

1. The devil exaggerates the pleasures of sin Heb
   
   11:24,25 to lay a trap to sin after which when the enemy has lured you into sin; brings condemnation.
2. If he sees an opening (even a crack in the door) he will enter in through mood and emotion Eph 4:26 "I know, I shouldn't drink but, I was depressed."
3. The devil will use people to lead astray friends, family and co-workers * Col 2:4
4. The devil will influence you through believing God is not going to come through in time and as a result you take matters into you own hands through your own ideology of a fix for your situation or trouble.

Don't let Hell have the Harvest Heaven Gave you. Joshua 18:3; Deut 1:8

We allow the enemy to steal our harvest through 4 types of people in the church

• A lazy person thinks they do not have to put any action to their faith that all is needed is for them to sit there.
• A conceited, person will never get anywhere usually, because they think that they are already there
• A comfortable person believes as long as they have been faithful and perfect the position  they are in - That a new level or realm is unnecessary and are unwilling to grow past where they are
• A lukewarm, person believe that they can play both sides and still be blessed.

Can't you see people of God that you are entertaining the devil? You are being hoodwinked by the enemy. The enemy has set a trap for you and you have fallen for the Okie Doke, there is no new age Christianity but, I can tell you- You are falling for the age of Apostasy. You  STOP following what folks do and, follow the word of God, you have no defense against the enemy when you do not study the word, you cannot grasp the word of truth if you have no root in you; You entertain the enemy through friendships with unsaved, by allowing the enemy to speak to your mind, through church hopping,

Tomorrow Part 2 Stop! Entertaining the Devil

How could you forget God by giving way to the enemy??

God is in your Forward, Not your Backward!

If you want to reach a Successful Conclusion, you need to stop looking for purpose in what happen yesterday. 

Isaiah 43:18-19 "Remember, not the former things, nor Consider the things of old
We will only get as far as the Direction we are faced!
If you go through life walking backwards you are walking in darkness and You cannot see the direction you are going when God has closed the door to your past; 
But what happened, When? - has you Bound. 

When you walk Forward you make progress. Unlimited possibilities are open to you.
Word says we Press Towards the Mark (That's Forward) Phil 3:14
We just need to keep moving forward- forward means, that is not the end. backwards stunts our growth and keeps us from getting to where we need to go.

A person who lives in the past will have a Negative Forecast, its gonna rain, its cloudy its cold (You will notice, just like their life) Someone moving Forward will likel have on shades due to the Brightness of their Future. They have a Progressive Forecast.

" MAKEUP MAY COVER A BLEMISH; BUT MAKEUP CAN'T HIDE SIN FROM GOD! "

SUB-TOPIC: BEWARE OF SECRET SINS!

The purpose of makeup is to Enhance Natural Beauty. It does nothing to Enhance the Spirit. Man seems to always find a way to change or add to the intention for which something was created.

Makeup is now used to alter, hide or change a persons Natural makeup (How we look without it) We use concealer to conceal what we consider flaws; We use foundation to to give our face a flawless appearance. A man can alter his complete makeup to make himself look like a Woman  and most men of the same gender do not know the difference.

But, MAKEUP CANNOT HIDE SIN
Once you set your mind to dabble in sin you have opened the eyes of God in your direction. See he knew your heart when you were contemplating sin.... HE IS AND ALL KNOWING ALL SEEING GOD. You may be able to hide a pimple or two from man but YOU CANNOT HIDE NOT EVEN A BLEMISH, FROM GOD!

Proverbs 28:13 (AMP)
He who conceals his transgressions will not prosper,
But whoever confesses and [a]turns away from his sins will find compassion and mercy

Sin has a trickle down effect, one leads to another then, you begin lying to cover up your sins. ( Why you missed church, Why you don't fast? Why you haven't paid Tithes in the last few months?) Your excuses means nothing to God because, he knows your heart. Your excuses really do nothing for the man or woman of God you are telling them to because if they are Discerning THEY KNOW YOU ARE LYING ANYWAY.

John 3:20 (AMP)
For every wrongdoer hates the Light, and does not come to the Light [but shrinks from it] for fear that his [sinful, worthless] activities will be exposed and condemned.

YOU CAN MAKE YOURSELF UP TO LOOK HOLY ON THE OUTSIDE; BUT MAKEUP AND PLAYING DRESS UP DO NOT HIDE SIN FROM GOD!!

WHAT STUMPS ME these days is that :Men and Women of

God Instead of coming to JESUS admitting your mistake, repentance, getting it right and moving Forward in the Faith. Your Succumb to the Power of Pride and dig yourself a deeper hole leading to the pit of Hell.  Proverbs 16:18 (AMP)  Pride goes before destruction,
And a haughty spirit before a fall.

Thank You, Holy Spirit
Father, I Pray that you Heal, Deliver and Restore in the name of Jesus!
Ref. Jer 16:17; Psalms 44:21; Rom 6:21; Proverbs 13:18

WHAT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY AS A CHRISTIAN??

WHAT'S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY??
Do not be Deceived! Do not Fear!

PUT YOUR TRUST NOT IN MAN, BUT IN GOD!!

When you FLAT-LINE it = Spiritual Death

via GIPHY

We are lead busy lives,
We all on a daily basis tend to interact with the Hustle and Bustle of things around us:
Work, School, Children, Spouse, Bills, Events, The Groceries, The Dry Cleaners and Meetings.

BEWARE, THAT THE ENEMY DOES NOT SLIP UP ON YOU!

The necessity of our duties on earth can cause us to neglect our Spiritual Disciplines---
Prayer, Study of God's Word and Fasting. Prayer is an integral part of our personal relationship with God.
Prayer: Connects us to God,
Studying the Word: Nourishes us Spiritually and arms us against the enemy
Fasting: Powers us up (different levels of fasting benefits the Spiritual Man in different ways 1 day fast 3 day fast etc;

When we put the cares of this world ahead of God: We enter into a dependence of self rather than, a dependence on God. The Bible instructs us… Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Psalms 55:22 Cast thy burden on the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved (1 Peter 5:7).

When we negate our Spiritual Disciplines, putting things before God has a Trickle-Down effect; as more and more you begin to take matters into your own hands.
"I have to do this." 'I need to do that."
We even begin to put our desires before God, expressly our desire for a mate and begin to seek out a mate on our own and without God's direction.

As you proceed , to walk in your own strength (*Proverbs 28:26; Phil 2:13) Your Spiritual pulse gets weak. This is Arrhythmia: A deviation from the normal pattern of the heartbeat. You have lost momentum. You have lost your first Love (Rev 2:4-7).

Because, your Heart is beating for the care of this world, you are unsuccessfully drawing strength from your own will and have now allowed the things that can bless you spiritually - to Lapse
*You use to be a Faithful Tither and now you are scheming off the top or no longer tithing at all.
*You use to attend Faithfully, now you need to babysit, are so tired or some other excuse.

*You use to contribute your time and effort towards the vision of the church and now you show a lack of interest.

Gods knows and sees this. 
Now your pulse is weak and Thready.

Your Pastor, Your Brothers and Sisters in Christ are trying to revive you through the word but, you will not hear; and now you are grieving the Holy Spirit

 through, 

Sclerosis: a medical term for hardening. Spiritual Hardness of the Heart.
Next it is through, the hardness of your heart that you now begin to conform to the dominion of Sin. 

Negating your Spiritual Disciplines, Losing momentum in the things of God, Walking in your own Strength cause Cardiac Arrest…With the Entrance of Sin You FLAT-LINE and now you become Dead to Christ.

Post-Mort em: You go to Hell
Then, ENTERS in the Second Death.

Lord, I Pray that your word reaches far and wide...
THANK YOU, HOLY SPIRIT.

Church Hopper #4: Monkey see, Monkey Do (Conforming)

Holy Spirit, I am but a vessel use me as thou will; Have YOUR way, Lord!

When you are around UN-saved friends, family, co-workers, boyfriend/girlfriend or spouse:

I want to help you think of them as having influenza (The Flu), you need to think of Sin like a virus.  you are around people who are infected.. that virus will transfer from person to person, this includes your fellow Brothers and Sisters in Christ who are not living the life

When you are in a room or around a group of infected people the likelihood of you becoming infected is Great; Than if you were around those who speak Life and who have Life in them

(The flesh is weak) The bible tells us come out from among them and be separate 2 Cor 6:17. God knows you but the enemy knows you as well and, will work through those closest to you, who know you. They will not have respect for the change in you. The world does not understand Spiritual things, they can't. The enemy will work diligently to pull you back in. Proverbs 1:10 My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.

Do not think you can inject/hop yourself into the world or group in order to win someone to Christ. You must be Equipped, If you do not Strengthen the Spirit - If the Spirit is not Strong you open that door and allow the enemy to have dominion. The Spirit, is to have dominion over the Flesh!  Sin is contagious,.. if you are not rooted and grounded in the Word. Being separate, means we can't mix with worldliness. … Ephesians 5:11

And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.

To CONFORM means to accept values, behaviors and ideas regardless of whether or not you agree; in order to follow the crowd.

Point: You Conform to what you Love!

Matthew 6:21 (KJV) For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

Hence my Topic: Monkey See, Monkey Do 

This Church Hopper tries to Blend in with the Church and Blend in with the World. COMFORTABLE CHRISTIANITY. This generation makes me Shake my Head (SMH) how many allow the devil to beguile them. God is NOT a God of compromise.

I have stated, many times You cannot Change the word, to fit your Flesh!

We are dealing with a Generation THAT DOES NOT WANT TO HEAR THE TRUTH!! The enemy has come in and blinded the minds of The older generation to MODERNIZATION (CHANGING WITH THE TIMES!!) NO, NO, NO!!! What you have done Is: you have LEFT THE FOUNDATION to become COMFORTABLE!! And, You have now Conformed to the World.

It is a Sad Day we live in…

When we see Men &; Women of God change not to live unto Holiness but, to Accommodate the worlds perspective: Affecting the way we dress, The way we serve, Affecting the way we carry ourselves… and, How we represent our Savior.

The more you ingest worldly things - The more you open yourself up to be influenced; and, when you start to get influenced, you give over control because, you allow the world to set up you up as an accomplice to their sin.

If you partake with them; you partake in the guilt; you will be held accountable. Do not partner up with those who compromise their walk with Jesus!

Proverbs 4:14  Don’t enter into the path of the wicked.

Don’t walk in the way of evil men.

Psalms 11:3 The enemy is constantly attempting to erode and destroy the foundational truths of God’s word using distortions, corruptions, half-truths, and modern "interpretations", for he knows that “if the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?”

Making Legal what God, declared Illegal:

You support what God has deemed an Abomination!

There is nothing new under the sun.

Eccl 1:9

That which has been is that which will be [again],

And that which has been done is that which will be done again.

So there is nothing new under the sun

We know, what is means to conform. Now, what does Comfortable Christianity mean?

People have become so comfortable in their sin that they  shrug off conviction and back -pedal into worldliness

If you are not seasoned, in the word (still on milk)

If you have not been completely delivered

If you have not changed your mindset

Like a vacuum, the world will suck you in

How is this Church Hopping, you ask?

You are Hopping from one Sin to the next

Monkey See - Monkey Do

Because, you see someone else compromise

You think it is okay? NO!! 

You are to restore your Brother and Sister in Love.

Other scripture Reference:
 Rom 6:16; 7:17-24;Jer 10:23; Ex 23:2; Titus 2:12; 2 Cor 6:17; Luke 6:46

MY PEARL OF WISDOM FOR TODAY!

YOU ARE A  RARE PEARL!!

THERE IS NO OTHER LIKE YOU!!

Ladies, who you are is a Precious Pearl: If you give yourself to one man you will end up giving yourself to many because, a man will not value you until you put the Brakes on!
Make him see who you are; Make him get to know YOU; Make him understand there is a standard that comes with you the nature of a man is to seek you out. The pattern of a man is to Hunt the bible tells you that:

Proverbs 18:22 Whosoever findeth a wife findeth a good thing and obtaineth the favor of the Lord.
When a Hunter, goes out and hunts the deer, rabbit, etc., they do not stand there and be captured NO if they want it they must work for it! STOP making yourself easy for these men; some of you not leaving them anything to respect and they will trample over you when  they are done only to move to the next one. 

YOU want a Good Man? 

Show him your Worth, not your Business!!

IF and When you come across that one that will not pursue you guess what, HE AIN'T THE ONE!! but, that means there is still someone out there that is. There is a lot of benefit to lifting up a standard. IT Allows you to see who they are as well( Their true colors). If You have ever met someone and said, if I had it to do over again, I would not. Guess who's fault that was? So, now that you have it to do over again do it the right way this time. Isn't is something, that the Bible says, do not give what is Holy to dogs. (What do we call them when they break our little hearts, (Dogs) Ding, Ding, Ding 
All men are Not dogs, a person is only going to do what you allow.

Know your Worth, it will save you A lot of Drama!

FAITH IS A PROCESS

Changing one's Mindset is a Process. 

Faith is also a Process,
One that should be put into practice Daily.
The more we Trust the more Confidence we have in God; that Confidence allows us to start using the Keys of Faith More and More each time. 
Putting into Practice Grows our Faith! (We can move a Mountain with Mustard Seed Faith can you Imagine the Possibilities after it Grows?!) 
Putting Into Practice helps us to Perfect our Faith (The more you Practice the better you get.); 
Which opens the door to the Faith Realm where we can then enter into that Rest.

FAITH Pleases, GOD! The Absence of Faith Displeases GOD! FAITH is What Moves GOD. 
Let's say, You go to God you are in tears and emotional. Right. Well...

Hebrews 4:15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

God has empathy towards us he is our Father in Heaven. YOU DECIDE!!
 Do you need Empathy or Action?? Because, FAITH Moves GOD to Action!!

Those tears are not going to move God but, if you need him to help change the outcome the circumstance then, you need to dry those tears and say, 
Lord, I believe your Word, I put Trust in you, not my Situation.

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

WATCH THE COMPANY YOU KEEP!

I MUST SHARE WITH YOU SOMETHING, MANY OF YOU DO NOT WANT TO HEAR.

BE CAREFUL FOR NOTHING! WATCH THE COMPANY YOU KEEP!!

The enemy can use those whom you may think are for you to lay trap for you. Even more through those who are not saved. Everyone who say, they are saved ain't saved!  There are those who serve God only through Lip Service! The Life they live does not line up with the Standard of God and you know this!

Sometimes, we make excuses for it being okay because, of who they are:
An Ex you're still in love with, An old Friend, Family, co- church member...
Sometimes, God has already removed them and we go back and get them!

WATCH THE COMPANY YOU KEEP!!

When are changed the things we used to do we no longer do; the Way we use to behave we no longer act that way in open nor in secret; We distance and separate from the company we use to keep to shield ourselves from being tempted and corrupted in anyway.

To Feel like you cannot enjoy yourself without sin is a Trick and a Trap from the enemy. ARE YOU WILLING TO GO TO HELL FOR 5 MIN TO A FEW HOURS OF WHAT You DEEM to be PLEASURE (FUN)??? What's fun about getting drunk to the point of sick? What's fun about doing drugs that destroy your brain cells? What is fun about subjecting yourself to disease: sleeping around with randoms without condoms? Club hopping? (Doing things in excess) The long-term affects of any of these things can cause death Physical AND Spiritual.

YOU CAN'T BE SOBER MINDED IF YOU ARE NOT SOBER. 
9 out of 10 do drugs, alcohol, sexual addiction for an escape!

THE ENEMY LOVES TO TWIST THIS!!!
He WANTS you to Think there is no Life outside of sin;  He WANTS you to think there is something to be Missed outside of sin. That's the devil (He a Liar) he comes to Kill, Steal and Destroy (Jn 10:10) you and any desire or thought you have about living the life you were purposed to live in Christ. He knows exactly, who to use to get you tripped up in your walk and perhaps pull you out of the Will of GOD.

EITHER YOU WALK WITH GOD OR WALK WITH THE FLESH?

I have stated in many topics before you must change your Mindset.
You can have good clean fun.
MAKE THEM THINK, RATHER SHOW THEM THAT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THEIR LIFESTYLE For a Change; and you would be Absolutely, RIGHT.
WATCH THE COMPANY YOU KEEP!!

Do You Show CHARITY For your Fellow-man

CHARITY

DO YOU HAVE ANY FOR YOUR FELLOW MAN

We ought to live by the Example set by CHRIST in EVERYTHING! Especially, in how we treat those who are Less Fortunate than ourselves.
Heb 13:2 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.
Some have mistreated those who are unfortunate, children mock and do not show Honor to the unfortunate nor to Elders, some shirk at the thought of them, turn up your nose as you pass them.
This is a very sad day we live in! 

 But, What If... the very one - You would Not Help, was sent by HIM?????
We ought to show Compassion, Offer a Helping Hand God forbid if any of us may one day have to walk in their shoes or barefoot.

1 Corinthians 13:1-5
1 Though, I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. 4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own,....

Church Hopper #3: THE DOUBLE-MINDED MAN

A Double-Minded man is someone who suffers from Divided Loyalties, not only does this person have no stability is his life but, none in his Spiritual walk. They are Unstable. James 1:8

On one hand, he/she wishes to maintain a religious confession and desires the presence of God in his/her life; On the other hand, he/she misses the ways of the world is still conformed to it and desires, prefers and salivates for its ethics and standards.

Due to the instability of this this person, making excuses is likely to become a regular practice different from the Church Hopper 2: Playing Church; this persons hopping starts in his/her mind While those that play church make excuses for their lack of performance in the church.

Church hopper #3 Takes calculated thought into finding an reason or making an excuse to leave the church his/her plan to leave the church has always been premeditated. The excuses are part of him/her needing validation from others to do it and will likely, drag around until they get it.

WHAT ARE YOU SEARCHING FOR CHURCH HOPPER??

If this person does not find validation from the current church then, now they need to find their reason;  because now it is affecting their performance and they have become highly sensitive and cannot stand correction and now they have found an excuse to bolt.

Remember* This person is unstable and did not get validation and Now that they are gone he/she is unsure that they made the right decision.

 When you do not take responsibility for your actions and mistakes. Not getting what you want at one church so now you want to go get Validated somewhere else; not only that but will also seek out a man/woman of God to justify your departure; to contradict the word spoken from the church you left. Did you leave decent and in order? You left a church with a seat in the front to seek validation in a church from the back pew.

HOW MANY DOORS WILL YOU WALK THROUGH??

GOD's eye are in every place Church Hopper; it doesn't matter what church you go to. God's word does not change. "You can run, but you can't hide." If you were wrong there, Guess what? You're still wrong! If you have a calling on your life: Guess what? You still have a calling on your life, Jonah. If it's right, it's still right.  if they are a true anointed man or woman of God, then the same Truth, the same Correction will be spoken in your life.

God's word is built on a sure foundation.

YOU CANNOT CHANGE THE WORD, TO FIT YOUR FLESH!!

Because the church did not validate you, now you have made you way back into the world and, Guess What? They will validate you because

John 15:19 (AMP) If you belonged to the world, the world would love [you as] its own and would treat you with affection. But you are not of the world [you no longer belong to it], but I have chosen you out of the world. And because of this the world hates you.
