DOGS, PIGS and PEARLS!

Dogs, Pigs and Pearls

Saturday, January 14, 2017

Matthew 6:6,7

Do not give, what is Holy to dogs!

We are all ministers. We as ministers are to share the good news (gospel) with those that walk in the dark.

In the light of GOD'S word, the light that shines in and through us; it is our hope that - that man or woman would turn from their wicked ways and come to CHRIST.

This is not always the case. There are those that refuse to hear regardless, of the Truth.

There are those even in the church who dabble in their sin and their indiscretions and despite giving them a word of truth, a word from the Lord, speak life and warn; they from their seat on pew slowly return to their sinful ways (vomit) Proverbs 26:11. You can wash a pig but it will go right back out and roll in the mud again.

Father, Mother, Brother, Sister, Uncle, Niece, Cousin, Usher, Deacon, Church Mother, Sons, Daughters, Musician, Minister, Choir director, Friend, Co-worker, Sinner, Etc.,

(Without passing Judgment, we are to judge with a righteous judgment. Compare their actions/life against the word of God tell them what the word says, this is righteous judgment.)

We are commissioned to share the Gospel; to warn to exhort unto righteousness but,…

HE did not commission us to "BABYSIT" the Un-righteous.

As a matter of fact, He instructed us Matthew 10:14 "…Shake the dust off your feet…" when they mock you; the word; reject; and disregard the word they are become as dogs and pigs that is scripture Matthew 7:6,7

Pearls were once considered a very valuable piece of Jewelry.

Therefore, when you find yourself trying to push, force feed the word of GOD you are subjecting yourself and GOD'S word to an individual or group who is rejecting GOD's word. (That is their choice, they have free will.) It is like trusting your valuables; your diamonds, your gold to animals who will only desecrate  it. FoR they are blinded (by satan) from realizing it's true value, saving grace, and power through the blood and  forgiveness of sins.

And, Woe to those who do know and shrug off Conviction! It is Willful Sin and they are Scoffers!

STOP! Trying to BABYSIT sinners, into salvation. You are only hindering your walk and your destiny dealing with those who refuse to hear. Walk away, continue to go forward; Most of all continue to let your shine  because they will continue to watch you walk even after you walk away.

It is insanity, to keep doing the same things over and over  and expect the result to be different.

Listen to your Spirit and seek GOD'S wisdom: when dealing with the unsaved the Spirit of discernment will reveal to you who hears and who doesn't.

The last part of our verse says, "…They will trample them under their feet ; turn again and rend you."

What does 'Rend" mean? Rend means: 1. to tear (something) into two or more pieces. Rip apart. 2. Cause great emotional pain to a person or their heart.

You have to keep in mind, When you are a Christian walking in righteousness living for God not only are you are an enemy to satan but you become an enemy to everyone who isn't a Christian and walking in righteousness, I told you before you can't trust everybody Holy Ghost so what makes you think you can trust those who do not have Christ? We Love family, friends, etc., but remember to whom you  yield yourselves servants to obey. YOUR LOYALTY SHOULD BE TO GOD! They will come around or they won't but you can't do what  God wants you to do if, you are waiting around for someone who won't hear. It's your job to catch'em- let GOD clean'em

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!!!!!

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.

" 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

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.

You are a Mountain Mover!!

Mar 11:22-24 

  And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.

For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

 I Love this. It is one of my favorite scriptures and I Love God, I absolutely Do.

In my relationship with God and what I have learned about him in my study and hearing the word preached. I have learned that some of the requests we make to God. It's on us and in us!

I am still a student, still learning, still growing, still pressing on!

You cannot come to understand God's word by merely, skimming through a few books, chapters and verses. No, we must literally dissect the word of God. Understanding and coming to develop Faith in the word  is to come to a realization of what the word is telling YOU.

The enemy comes to kill, steal and destroy 

John 10:10; Gods people are destroyed for lack of Knowledge Hosea 4:6 I am going to share some scriptures that I personally, had to learn and really grasp in my own life in believing God for my own healing; dealing with pain etc.,

Key points:

Take by his stripes we are Healed Isaiah 53:5 and 1 Pe 2:24 for example: I kept reading those verses and when the light  bulb came on "ding, ding, ding" as our Prophet Richard Jackson would say, I saw that in both of these verse they are past tense. I said, Why am I pleading with God for him to do something that has already been covered? He already took those stripes that means I do not have to wait it's already done.  One verse says, we were healed the other we are healed the  NIV says, have been healed. IT'S US!! It is our lack of understanding, leaning into our own understanding, doubt and unbelief that we get in the way of our Blessings and our Victories. We are not PLUGGED IN people of God, the volume is way too low to hear the Spirit.

 I want to exhort you to becoming the MOUNTAIN MOVER you were meant to be.

How do I become a Mountain Mover?

Come to….

1. Realize who you are: The strongest single factor in Faith consciousness is Self-Esteem:  Believing you can do it; Believing you deserve it; and Believing you will get it.
2. Realize Victory and Promise will not come into a temple full of doubt and unbelief: Know that God Can and he Will.
3. Stop, Allowing your emotions to get in the way of your Faith! God is touched by the feelings of our infirmities Hebrews 4:15 He understands our pain, our struggles and our concerns but still moved to take action because of our Faith.
4. Realize that God is not going to do, What he commanded US (YOU) to do. That is right, while you are saying, Lord, help me get through it; Lord, Change my situation he pointing at Mark 11:22-24 saying, YOU DO IT! Yes, indeed GOD can Move Mountains but, He told you to do it all you have to do is Stop saying, I CAN'T.
5. Realize GOD will not command you to do something, he has Not Equipped YOU for.
6. HAVE FAITH IN GOD!!! Mark 11:22

Realize all you have to do is SPEAK TO YOUR MOUNTAIN, ITS RIGHT THERE IN YOUR MOUTH (but, you are too worried about what others think?; Oh, Ye of little Faith?)

All you need is a Mustard Seed, My Powerful Brothers and Sisters Matthew 17:20

And  WE CAN MOVE MOUNTAINS!!!

 Speak to your Lack, your Health, your Debt, your Fear, your Burdens, your Stress, your Strongholds, your Storm and tell them to MOVE, YOU TELL THEM!! And, if you believe and not Doubt it will OBEY YOU!!

Because, WE (YOU) ARE A MOUNTAIN MOVERS.

Realize, the Disciples did what Jesus did so can we and greater. John 14:12

STOP!!!

PEOPLE OF GOD!! STOP!

STOP! BELIEVING THAT YOUR CURRENT SITUATION IS ALL THERE IS TO YOU. 
STOP! LETTING YOUR CIRCUMSTANCE DICTATE YOUR DESTINY!! AREN'T YOUR TIRED OF THAT??

GET OUT OF YOUR RUT!!
I'M READING MY WORD AND LOOKING AT THE PEOPLE OF GOD AND OUR LIVES; DO NOT PARALLEL WHAT AND WHO THE SCRIPTURE SAYS, WE ARE, WHAT WE SHOULD HAVE AND WHERE WE SHOULD BE.
THINGS ARE NOT MOVING FOR THE PEOPLE OF GOD BECAUSE, WE HAVE NOT SHIFTED OUT OF OUR LAZY BONES, THAT'S RIGHT OUR LAZINESS!!

YOU ARE NOT A PRODUCT OF WHERE YOU CAME FROM SO BE A PRODUCT OF WHERE YOU ARE GOING!! IF YOU ARE ASSOCIATED WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE DOING NO BETTER THAN YOU ARE THEN YOU NEED TO FIND PEOPLE WHO HAVE KEYS TO SUCCESS IN CHRIST AND IN LIFE. AS A PEOPLE FEAR SUCCESS WHEN WE SHOULD BEWARE POVERTY....ITS SAD

WE SAY, WE'RE PRAYING;
WE SAY WE ARE KEEPING THE FAITH;
WE SING, I DON'T HAVE NO DOUBT
BUT WHERE IS YOUR WORKS??????????????????
FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD- DEAD-DEAD-DEAD
YOU HAVE TO EXERCISE YOUR FAITH-
NOT JUST SEE YOUR SELF IN YOUR BLESSING-
PREPARE FOR YOUR BLESSING!!

GOD, NEVER SAID ASK, BELIEVE AND WAIT FOR ME TO PUT IT IN YOUR LAP. HE SAID, ASK, BELIEVE AND RECEIVE! 
WHEN YOU RECEIVE SOMETHING YOU ACQUIRE IT THAT MEANS YOU TAKE POSSESSION YOU TAKE OWNERSHIP OF IT AS YOUR OWN. 

WHEN WE KNOW, WE ARE GETTING NEW FURNITURE WE GO THROUGH THE HOUSE. WE GET GET RID OF THE OLD TO MAKE ROOM FOR WHATS COMING WE WILL HAVE A BIG EMPTY SPOT IN OUR HOUSE WHY BECAUSE, WE HAVE THAT EXPECTATION BUILT UP. THIS IS ALL WE NEED TO DO...
I AM BELIEVING GOD FOR A HOUSE I WALK THE GROUND ONCE A WEEK (ONE OF MY NEW NEIGHBORS WAVED AT ME THE LAST TIME I WAS THERE.) I KNOW WHERE I AM GOING TO PLANT MY FLOWERS IN THE BACK, I HAVE THE ADDRESS ON MY BOARD AT MY DESK. 

WE HAVE TO COMMAND THE BLESSING!
COMMAND MEANS TO BE IN A STRONG ENOUGH POSITION TO HAVE OR SECURE SOMETHING,

STOP! SELF -DEFEATING

I DECLARE MY CURRENT CIRCUMSTANCE IS NOT MY PERMANENT POSITION! GLORY TO GOD!!!
THANK YOU, HOLY SPIRIT!!

#ICareAboutYourSoul YOU SHOULD TOO!!
James 2:17 So too, faith by itself, if it is not complemented by action, is dead. 18 But someone will say, “You have faith and I have deeds.” Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds.

Don't Touch if you haven't Prayed: Revelation of Prayer

2 Corinthians 4:16-18 (AMP)

Therefore we do not become discouraged [spiritless, disappointed, or afraid]. Though our outer self is [progressively] wasting away, yet our inner self is being [progressively] renewed day by day. 17 For our momentary, light distress [this passing trouble] is producing for us an eternal weight of glory [a fullness] beyond all measure [surpassing all comparisons, a transcendent splendor and an endless blessedness]! 18 So we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are unseen; for the things which are visible are temporal [just brief and fleeting], but the things which are invisible are everlasting and imperishable.

Trouble - Trouble - Trouble
I can't say, I've ever met anyone who hasn't had it. 
Lord, knows, I have had my share of Troubles, Whew!
Nothing, will put you on your knees like, Trouble. I have learned and witnessed that even people who do not know God, will pray when trouble comes.
If they say, nothing but, "God help me!"

This passage of scripture, tells me:

•  Don't lose heart ( Be anxious for nothing Phil 4:6-9) the pain of it is temporary and, it is moving over for much better and and much more.
• Our natural circumstances are no match for nor bigger than my God Hebrews 13:5,6; Isaiah 40:29
• Regardless, of what it looks like on the outside, our strength is being renewed by God; These things we actually, face are not as big as they appear, do not  focus so much on what is                                                          going on in the natural.

What makes you go into a car dealership, store, to your mechanic or to anyone to whom you need to make a major purchase and, believe you can get it for less than their asking price? 

Reason #1...Because of Faith, you believe at that very moment that you can and, they will. You have no evidence of this. All feelings aside, you step out into that which you cannot see. 

This is the same determination needed to believe God:

• Through your Storm;
• For your Healing;
• Out of your Lack;
• And, for you Miracle

Reason #2...Because, we have God's DNA in us (having been created in his image) We can believe and, it come to fruition.  Right about now, the enemy is probably whispering "That is different."

NO! It is not! Remember, The devil is a Liar! 

All you need is a Mustard seed of Faith, You used more than believing, that you could get them to drop the asking, price.

I'm asking you to Drop your Doubt.

Don't Touch your Troubles if you haven't Prayed, 

We learn a great deal in this life...

We learn how to survive; 

We learn who we can trust and who we can't;

We learn from Trouble...

How Strong & Resilient we really are;

We learn to put out Trust in God;

We learn to go to Him in Prayer

I Thank, the Holy Spirit for being a Teacher and for this topic because, it exposes the enemy, 

You learn... You can't Trust the devil.

What you shouldn't Touch, is your Trouble yourself. Let God, Do what you, Can't. You do not have to Negotiate with the devil, When GOD will Fix It, for a Mustard seed of Faith. 

The devil brought the Trouble to begin with (YOU resist him!) 

God is that Greater Figure of Hope.

Read Romans 12:1-2; Ephesians 4:17-24; Hebrews 4:15

We make mistakes (You are not alone) We are not infallible! 

We can go to GOD; he is such a Forgiving God, you will never know if you don't go to him and, he will remember your sin no more!

In order, to completely recover from your Mistake/Sin you need to also Forgive yourself so that you are not bound by the weight of Guilt.

The devil will hold us hostage by our on guilt.

Be Free and Sin no more. Do not take his Grace & Mercy for Granted. #ICareAboutYourSoul You should too! #SistahSarah #NAG

PRESS YOUR WAY??

STOP, PLAYING CHURCH!! The Other Church Hopper!!

Earlier, this week I shared "CHURCH HOPPING"

This is Part 2
STOP, Playing Church!!
THE OTHER CHURCH HOPPER!!

When you are Playing Church:
You not consistent in the things of God;
You are not Faithful;
You have no Loyalty to the Leadership;
You are not Productive;
You do not support the vision of the Church;
You seek after the things of the World;
You are not invested;
You have your own agenda, YOU

These are those who share the excuses in Church Hopping #1 (See Above) but, use these excuses to  Hop right back into the world but, when you find that you have tasted of the Goodness of Jesus. You soon find that you are no good in the world and no good in church.

Romans 7:18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.

Galatians 5:17
For the flesh craves what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh.They are opposed to one another, so that you do not do what you want.

You are now trying to find you your happy medium of which there is none.
You cannot serve God and Mammon
Matthew 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

You have a desire to be saved on one hand but, get mad at the Preacher when you are told the truth;
You want to Benefit from the Blessing on this hand but, on the other hand you do not want to put in  the work; You are trying to live right  at church on one hand but, nothing to show for it when you go home on the other; You will hear the word and want to be elevated on the right hand
but on the left you can't stand to be corrected (You got too many hands!)

2 Timothy 3:5-7 (KJV)
Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

I can't be perfect and imperfect at the same time. I am going to be one or the other. I am going to be righteous or unrighteous. I am going to be a child of God or a child of the devil. You are either Hot or Cold, pick one?

If you do not have the Holy Spirit, you are in-complete. Without the Holy Spirit you have nothing to keep you
 John 14:16,26

You cannot Trust your Flesh!!! (sounds like another Topic)
The bible says, Jeremiah 17:9 (KJV)
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

Who can know it? That tells me I cannot depend on my own flesh. We must die daily as not to entertain the flesh. The word of God is un-compromising, it will not compromise with the Flesh!!

WHEN YOU KNOW BETTER YOU SHOULD DO BETTER!!

STOP, PLAYING CHURCH!!

CHURCH HOPPING!

Church Hopping is Revelant in Todays Church

People tend to Avoid this Subject: Not Today!

Why do People Church Hop??

Reason 1:
They do not take the time for Growth or to Establish Roots. Ps. 92:12-13

Reason 2:
They Do not connect to the Vision/Direction of the Church. Heb. 12:15

Reason 3:
Running from the Truth!! They do not like correction or respect Authority. They have itching ears 2 Tim 4:3-4

Reason 4:
They are Sensitive Saints and get offended (feelings hurt) over every little thing. Prov. 18:19
 Low self-esteem.

Reason 5:
They have their own Agendas. 
a.) Came to church looking for a Man/Woman instead of God.
b.) They feel they are called, into the Ministry. They want to preach.
When it doesn't work out their way they leave.

Reason 6:
They Lost their Zeal for the things of God 2 Tim 4:10

Reason 7:
They are not completely Delivered and no desire to be. Sin is the Dominating factor in their lives.

If you cannot commit to a church; How can you commit to God??

*Careful, 
You may not know, What you may be Hopping into! Or, Who is Hopping into your Church.

#ICareAboutYourSoul Thank You, Holy Spirit #SistahSarah Love my Church #NewAppointed

Know God for Yourself and Trust in Him!

Brothers & Sisters in Christ:

TRUST IN GOD!

Trust your heart in Christ. 

Know the Word for yourself and be aware.
When people do wrong of which they can't recover. 
Lying, Accusations, Stealing, Misuse of Gods word.
Instead of them getting it right; You must Know, 
that the first thing the devil will do is take them out of church 
because they will not take responsibility for their wrong-doing:

"Misery Loves Company" 

you can best believe that before they leave they will try to take someone with them. 
They will try to Sow discord among believers. They will tell you lies, lies, lies about others.
Go to the source for yourself, for the Truth Ask questions. Follow Christ not man.
People, who do not believe "Hell is Hot" believe it just enough... 
that if they must go to hell.. they are not trying to go alone.

Do not let people Dictate your Salvation!!
When people are not where they need to be in the Lord they are not going to tell you that...
People have secret sins and try their best to keep it on the low, low 

BUT THESE SINS ARE NOT HIDDEN FROM GODS EYE 

and if, you aren't strong and do let the Spirit guide you in All Truth,
 they could very well drag you out the door with them or worse Hell. 
Lean not unto your own understanding and definitely not the understanding of someone else.
 (Read: Prov. 3:5-6; Jer 17:5-7; Ps 37:3-5; Is 26:3; )

Be not wise in thine own eyes... Prov 3:7

#ICareAboutYourSoul #NAG #SistahSarah #NewAppointed You have your own mind, 
Think for Yourself!!

YOU GOTTA USE WHAT IS LOOSE; TO BREAK THE SHACKLES OFF WHAT IS BOUND!!

YOU HAVE TO USE WHAT IS LOOSE; TO BREAK THE SHACKLES OFF WHAT IS BOUND!

When we are bound by our Circumstances;
                   bound by our Problems;
                   bound by our Financial Woes;
                   bound by Procrastination and bound by Sin

STOP! ALLOWING YOUR CHAINS TO DICTATE YOUR PRAISE!!

Acts 16:16-40 (read)
Paul and Silas, were beaten, imprisoned and bound unable to walk around freely, unlike
the physical prisons of today. Think about that because, it is one thing to be in prison:
But to be Bound in your Prison?!

The enemy creates Prisons in our lives; We create prisons when we do not trust God,
Prisons hold us Captive, Hinder & Stagnate
our Growth.
These are your Doubt Prison, Your Fear Prison, Your Secret Sin Prison, Your Worry Prison
and Your Prison of Unbelief.
Paul & Silas:
When it seemed  like Everything was against them; When it seemed like there
was no way out; When it seemed like all Hope was Fading: They used what was Loose;
To Break the Shackles off What was Bound! They Praised God in the Midst of their circumstances!

With their feet Bound, they remembered (as we should) that GOD, Keeps his word

His word says, PS 34;19 Many are the afflictions of the Righteous but the Lord delivered them
out of them ALL. John 8:36 Whom the son set free is Free Indeed. That must have been when
they realized their hands weren't bound (Some state that there hands were bound also the bible says their feet were in bonds) and lifted Holy hands in the midst of the circumstance

• It may seem you are up to your neck in debt;
• it may seem like your problems are pulling you under like quicksand;
• it may seem like you are about to lose your job or home;
• you may have an unsaved spouse or family member pulling you in every direction
• it may seem like No one understands what you are going through

But see Paul & Silas realized, their tongues were loose and began to disregard
the current situation; the Pain; the Struggle in order to separate themselves to
GOD and the more they surrendered the circumstances. The Louder the Praise got
because, "They Turned the Volume Up!' and those heavy shackles fell off, the prison
shook and the doors flew open.

What Blessed me about this passage as well, is that though they were no longer bound,
no longer captive - they remained, they didn't leave.
The reason they didn't leave is because they saw a need they saw a need; the guard himself was bound and needed to be set free.
Now that they were Loose:
They can help the one that is Bound!

There are times when we may need a little help and cannot breakthrough on our own.
I thought about, when Jesus raised Lazarus, after he commanded him to come forth
he saw that he was bound hand & foot and his face was bound: He told those that were
near to Loose him and let him Go.
The Brothers & Sisters, that are Loosed can help break the shackles off our
Brothers & Sisters that are Bound. We need Corporate Praise to help us Breakthrough to where God is. This is one of the reasons Church and Fellowship are so important. When you are in the Pride Prison that pride will not allow you to seek help and the enemy will say, you don't need to let people know your business just to hold you captive.

YOU GOTTA USE WHAT IS LOOSE; TO BREAK THE SHACKLES OFF WHAT IS BOUND!!
