Decision Time

 

People who work with people with any type of addiction often wonder if they are making a difference. God informed me that my job often is to warn people and give them godly solutions. So, when they stand in front of God, they cannot claim they did not know. Today I listened to a sermon with great questions. I will ask them in a minute, but first, I want to remind everyone what God’s word says about our decision-making.

See, every day, we decide decisions starting with whether to get out of bed or not. But, let’s face it, our character or nature is where most decisions come out. So, for most, it is only with the big decisions that we might ask God, “What do you think?” As a result, self-reliance has become second nature and thought to be sound if it appears godly. The religious spirit will deceive and convince you that what you are doing is correct because it appeases your fear, brings immediate comfort, or brings a false sense of peace to your situation.

“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your request be made known to God.” (Philippians 4:6)

Here are the sermon’s questions and statement. Do you listen to man, or do you listen to God? What is your source of information? We listen to the world and everything else other than God.

It is stunning how fear of health, well-being, and getting back to normal has encouraged God-fearing people to follow man's methods for the solution. God squeezes down on us to make choices and show what we believe. There are no more sidelines in which you can just stand and watch. God must clean up His church first before He turns His justice on society. I believe God’s word when it says My sheep know My voice. I do not think that my sister and brothers are apostates. What I do think is happening is God’s sheep is talking at God and not listening to God. There has become a confusion between self-reliance talk and seeking God for solutions. Declarations are being made over man’s solutions and declared as an answer from God because once again, it appeases our deepest fears and appears to be the answer that will achieve peace.

Man’s solution to today’s crisis is a scheme leading to mass murder and reliance on lifetime pharmaceuticals. Don’t take my word for it. Ask God. Not through your fear or if you have already made up your mind. Ask with an honest heart to obey. We are supposed to seek God, which means you require God to answer. Any decision made out of fear or self-centered desire is not from God, no matter how much you claim it to be. Here’s a tell-tale sign. If you have rage in your heart and want to silence me, then who is your god? You have made your choice. If you still question your decision concerning a matter or regret your actions, you know God forgives you. God is always about reconciliation with Him. Talk to Him. He has the solution. Trust Him, and He will guide your path straight. I speak as a witness to God’s mercy and grace. Please join me today as His witness.

There is Life and Death in the Tongue

  There is life and death in the tongue. In the beginning, God created man to be in authority. Since the fall of man, many now see any so-called authority in our words, as crazy superstition or demonic. By perverting the concept, Satan has us speaking negative words in doubt and unbelief. We are literally cursing our own destinies because we do not understand that from the beginning, words were used to create. Now, evil uses words to destroy with constant negative, complaining, and destructive talk. It is everywhere, and the church is participating. Jesus has taken all authority from Satan and returned it to His children. Being ignorant concerning precisely what the blood of Christ at the cross has restored to us, we are still declaring ourselves destined for illness and great sorry on this earth. Many have confused trials and tribulations as one’s lot in life, so we then do not speak in authority against it because we believe Sovereign God wants us sick and hurting

The Silent Majority Must Find Their Voice

  One thing I have learned in the almost eleven years of mission ministry is if someone believes a lie, there is nothing you can do or say that will convince them otherwise. Only God can reveal the truth and open the heart to receive it. Lies based on fear, I believe, take root at the core to shore up an eroding foundation. As Christ-followers, we tell our children the danger of building your house upon the sand. Ironically, Satan entered the Church and convinced God’s people that God does not heal anymore; therefore, the foundation of healing became sand for many. So for the last two years, fear has struck the hearts of God’s people with one medical fear after another. The results became leaders of the Church proclaiming secular practices and bragging they had done their part and the trust in God eroded a little more and more. Those that can see the truth that has watched secular spiritualism invade our church family are at a loss as to what to do. Maybe because we

Questions about Fasting Part One

  Was fasting a foretelling of repentance and dying to self? Everything in the Old Testament Jewish faith was the "first to establish the second," meaning the religious acts were a foretelling to set up the death and resurrection of Christ. The practice of circumcision is not a sacred act anymore, nor is sacrifice. Why? Because in the New Covenant through Jesus, circumcision is now of the heart and not the flesh. The book of Romans reminds us that every religious act of the flesh has been replaced by living under grace through faith. So why are we continuing the practice of fasting for repentance or sorrow? Is that not an act of flesh? Do we not believe that if we confess our sins, Jesus is faithful and just to forgive us? Why do you have to starve yourself to get God to move or hear Him? Don't we believe that He has heard us if we ask according to His will? Do you think God is motivated more by our acts of humility or our acts of faith? Does He not kn
