What Seems Right to Man

 “There is a way which seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death” Proverbs 14:12.

If you are like me, you ask God to forgive you for the obvious issues in your life. For the last two weeks, God has been challenging me on my repentance. I have become like society because propaganda works. If something is repeated over and over again, and you don’t off-set it with the truth of God’s word, it sticks in your mind. There are messages in our movies, news, social media, and then people parrot that message in their lives. I am so stunned with this revelation because I never saw myself as conforming in any way. God’s church has shifted because I believe we stopped asking God what we should repent of, and we just tell Him. God’s church has acquiesced in the name of unity or peace. We have passed the slippery-slope phase and moved to an avalanche. I think we call it “2020.” We make jokes about the over-whelming issues. We ignore them as if we will wake up and order to our life will resume normally at any minute. We also pray it away as if God is our genie waiting to grant us our three wishes.
I know that many are planning to attend, pray marches or meetings. Will you please join me in asking God what areas in our lives we need to mourn over and repent. Please let’s all stop listening to others tell us what we need to repent of because that in itself is the sin. Repeatedly God rebuked His people for not asking Him concerning everything. I think God said it best in Isaiah 2:22, “Stop regarding man, whose breath of life is in his nostrils; for why should he be esteemed?” I think we use the American version of seeking as in we have a mission to obtain what we want. Instead, we need to seek as in require God to show us what we need. Only God can change the heart of man.

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
