People Are Not Mountains

People Are Not Mountains

God said there are "mountain get out of my way situations" and then there are situations that you must fight to resolve. I have 2 issues that are going on that you never hear me talk about, one is financial. I wont detail the other. I simply believe God and stand on His Word, ready to take action.

Theres another situation that you always hear me talk about. I am on Face Book making comment after comment. I do this because God said I want you to speak about it. He said, "I want you to seek resolution and righteousness and not ignore it and cover it up". He said, "people are not things, nor property or live stock. They are not to be moved around and set aside, else I would have done so along time ago". I receive this. People are worth fighting for regardless of their present condition. I am the one who loves and forgives most because I have been forgiven most. Many say let go and let God. I agree. But to quote Mary, the mother of Jesus, "whatever He tells you to do, do". It can be different for every situation. The consistency is God, the Holy Spirit, not the action or reaction. Of course I have an example. Paul to Corinth in his first letter spoke against a man having relations with his stepmother. In the second letter, he seems to almost apologize. Paul understood that there were many things that had to be resolved but to simply get rid of a person was not the answer, lest he be removed for his transgressions (that would preach!). Also, in the grand scheme of things, when Adam/Eve sinned and were thrown out of the garden, it seems to be over. But the entire time, God was working out their salvation. Not moving forward and just making other beings, but finding a way to save all of humanity, even the very first ones that caused all to fall. God is Love and so am I. But again, we do not ignore, we resolve. By the Holy Spirit and His Word and whatever way He would have us to. Is getting rid of someone an option? Yes. But a last resort indeed. For the most part, like being born to a natural family, your stuck with them. :-) But He gave us the gospel to transform and renew.

In conclusion, people are not mountains.

Grace and Peace

Truly SMH

Imagine being a future pastor who desires to teach a culture of equality, freedom and most of all a culture of righteousness. No deception, trickery, manipulation, etc. But a value for honest and openness. Repentance, and forgiveness the norm. But a group of ppl who believe that as long as the intentions are good, such as making you a pastor or spiritual leader, uses the very tools (deception, trickery, manipulation, etc) you are going to teach against to vet you. They had literally every single person lying and deceiving you making a joke out of your very doctrine. They got even non-believers and ppl already skeptical about church. Now how am i supposed to prove to them church is a good thing when they have seen up close and personal the disgusting side of church. They were used and even encouraged to deceive. Then, when you are justifiably angry, these ppl continue to patronize you and say you just don't understand. We are actually gonna do something great for you, they say. This has been for years now. My church, my job, my family, ministries, organizations and even strangers have all been involved. I took it for years, verbally and in every way I knew how explained I didn't want this, and nor did God. If the church and believers cant distinguish between right and wrong, how can they teach the world? This is the problem. Ppl who mean harm lie, cheat, and steal. Ppl who intend well, lie, cheat, and steal. Satan is sitting back with the greatest smile ever!
They came into my secret place, illegally. They had me make fake friends. There were fake worship services and fake assignments. Co-workers were repeating phrases to me verbatim from privately held conversations in my home. I would pick ppl up from their house to take them to church only to have them insult and lye to me. Friendships were broken. I was used for my service and knowledge only for there to be a lack of integrity and given no honor after the rules were established. If this was just happenstance and Satan, (which it still is ultimately) then fine. But this was a concerted effort spearheaded by believers. What is worse is, under the guise of the good intentions was several that didnt have good intentions. They used this scheme to their advantage.
I can not take anything that comes from this process lest Satan boasts that schemes, tricks, and lies made me what I am. There has to be repentance and space to reflect. These ppl have been so blinded by thinking they are "making" me that they threw all of Gods righteousness out the window. This is exactly Satans plan in focusing ppl on purpose without a care for the souls. With all this said, I boldly say that I expect a healing in the land. I expect an about face change. This is my plea. I wont even mention all the other stuff that went on. The worst thing was the justification of it all. I pray for the souls that have been adversely affected. My God is still a deliverer. Open your hearts. Cease from this behavior. Cease from teaching others of this false righteousness. It can never end well. Do the right thing. Jesus came for us to have the ability to be as he is; righteous. Take advantage.

Fruits of the Spirit

Fruits of the Spirit

Fruits of the Spirit are the outward results from one abiding with the Holy Spirit; even a symbiotic, eternal relationship with the Spirit to the point of being one with Him. You do not know where He ends and you begin. In other words, fruit is the progeny of eternal intimacy with God Himself. Found in Galatians, they are Love, peace, joy, long suffering, goodness, gentleness, faith, meekness, and temperance.

It is important to BIBLICALLY define each of these. It is equally important to not disconnect these from the Spirit. Hence, the name and title, fruits of the Spirit. Without the Spirit, you may exhibit some of these, but of some other spirit. You just have a naturally nice person. Pleasant, but fleshly and carnal. Remember, even Satan was once an angel of God and even now after fallen, he can become as an angel of light, if suitable. Again, you might have fruit but not of the Holy Spirit. There are many voices soliciting you.

Let me give an example. Meekness means to be humble and teachable in its simplicity. But you can be one who is open to anything. And so you have the fruit of meekness but Gods not the daddy! You have an appearance of spirituality.

How about temperance? Many have defined it as balance. But really at its core there is the root syllable temp, which is connected to the word time. Tempt, which is to move. And temper,as in ones emotional state. So temperance is the fruit of ones emotional state as compared with God at any particular moment or time. To put it simply, to love what He loves and hate what He hates and at the same degree as God at all times. Because, He is peace and righteous, "balance" or compromise can fit, but I dont like these words because both say if I have four apples, I HAVE to put two on the left and two on the right. But God may want a 3:1 ratio or all four on one side. And also God may have a 3:1ratio this time, but 2:2 the next. You must be in the moment through the constant contact with God. As said earlier, one with Him.

I now understandd more than ever the importance of the Holy Spirit. I understand why Jesus said, I must go that He, the Holy Spirit may come. The Holy Spirit is God. He is the comforter. What can comfort more than the Truth, and His Spirit. Imagine being one with the Sovereign Being. How great. Abide in Him and see the results; the fruit. These will lead you to all else.

Grace and peace.

Repentance and Forgiveness: Both are necessary

Luke 17:1
And He said to the disciples, It is impossible but that offenses will come. BUT WOE to him through whom they come!
Luke 17:2
It were better for him that a millstone were hanged around his neck and he were cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.
Luke 17:3
Take heed to yourselves. If your brother trespasses against you, Rebuke HIM. And IF he REPENTS, FORGIVE HIM.
Luke 17:4
And if he trespasses against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turns again to you, saying, I REPENT, you shall FORGIVE HIM.

BOTH REPENTANCE AND FORGIVENESS IS VITAL TO ALL RELATIONSHIPS AND IN THIS LIFE AND THE EVERLASTING LIFE TO COME!

Repentance is more than saying sorry. You must forsake the act, such that if necessary you will say sorry even 70 times 7. You can fall, but acknowledgement that it is wrong and desire to be right will keep you clean as if the act never occurred. Also, im seeing many say Im sorry but keeping the stuff. Let me state clearly sin is sin is sin. But, lets take for example stealing. You cant say, i repent and then keep the stuff! Your paying back the stolen goods and taking part to the greatest extent possible with restoration of the victim goes with true repentance. This goes with abuses as well. I'm not talking about guilt but godly sorrow and responsibility. I know some victims want revenge and to hold prior bad acts over people and this is equally wrong. But both sides have a part to play. These revelations are seen in the account of Zacheus paying back 4fold what he took and in the scriptures above. Truly, grace and peace.

Justified, Bold

The rules have already been laid out. No matter how many ppl or situations are thrown @ me my response is that of Gods @ that moment. The safest place in all the world is the will of God. Stay righteous. Dont let them move you to the left or right. But straight and narrow is the way. Righteousness, peace and joy...thats the Kingdom of God. Thats authority. God is not a man that He can lie. And as a son of God, I agree with Him, thus I walk w/ Him. I win. This is the bravery, the courage. I wont bend or bow because i have complete faith in all I say or do because He said it. Most cant stand firm because they are unsure. But we study, and meditate day and night . We are not going to be like a tree, we are now a tree. Planted! Whether now or later, even at the throne, i shall be justified. And since i walk by faith, i am not only justified but bold as a lion. Many are scared to be seen as a loser. O but my brothers, by faith I have overcome. You cant make me give this spot up. Perfect love. To care for your souls more than anything in life. More than position, power, even your friendship and respect, i care for you and this earth. On earth as in Heaven is the goal. Therefore, the big picture is souls. With all this said, i expect to be raised high in this life and the next. Reigning with God and you. For i still see the Lord coming with tens of thousands of saints, glory! Walk in Him. Its our time. Its the sons of God time. Sons in more than name but clarity and power. Ready?
