The Victory Fight!!!!

The victory fight!!!!

When you have been bullied for too darn long. When the lies become a freaking joke to hold one down. When you are backed in a corner. When you get so mad you say I wish you would. When you now understand the reason for everything. When you finally understand the real and see the real you. When the fear leaves and now you are just so mad you just don't care what others think and say, because you know deep inside you why you have been harassed and hated by others. . I am someone you are not. I do not fit in your box. I am different. I look timid but please do not fool yourself. I am timid because I try not to put myself in bad situations. I try not to argue, and I do not like to physically fight. I do not want to treat you the way you have treated me. I am not you I am me. I believe in God and I believe in Karma. I am this way because from way back in creation God said this is who I will be. God made me to serve him and I have been praying since I was 12 years old. I must say though, because of the hell you have displayed to me, it has showed me how far away from God I was. I pray more now than ever. I believe more now than ever. I have bad times and good and I cannot just thank the Lord for the good. I must also thank him for the bad because as the saying goes, what don't kill you makes you stronger. He said in 2 Corinthians 10:4 The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds. My best weapon is prayer, following Gods' commandments and doing his will. I will fight you back with much love and much prayer, the total opposite of who you are. Yet, it is who God is( LOVE). It is what he told me to do. Love others as I have also loved you. Do good unto others, pray for others, pray for your enemies.

I use to wonder why I am not liked by most. I don't care now because I am loved by the ones who matters most. When the lord said to put on the armor he meant put on the whole armor of God. It was a warning, because when the enemy comes I am able to withstand him. I may look alone but like the song by Jah Vinci says in ( Rising to the top) I have 10,000 angels fighting for me. I use to be more afraid of Satan than God. I gave him so much power in my mind.

Devil its eviction time, I am tired of you and you simply must Go. I did not understand how you could accuse Joshua. Zachariah 3:3 (Now Joshua was dressed in filthy clothes as he stood before the high priest). I have learned nothing about Joshua doing any wrong but yet you stand to accuse. You went to Job simply because he feared the Lord. You are a busy body with lots of time on your side, so you think. Satan your time is about to be over very soon. Yes you will be given a few years to cause mass destruction against the children of The Most High but the more destruction you are allowed the closer it gets to your end. God created me to worship and honor him. He told me to follow his commandments and by all means necessary I will do that. Hell was not created for me but for you, you freaking devil. I deserve to worship my God in peace and truth. You have gone too far and I do not like what you stand for. I know what love is,  and that you are not. You want me to forget God but I can't. When I am sick and you have caused many illnesses He heals me. When I am down he raises me up. When you come against me in your many deceitful forms it is he who gives me courage to face you and all your hell. I guess no one really knows what evil is until they meet you and your children face to face. Christ did say whomever is not for me is against me and how can one serve two masters. So if we are not serving Jesus Christ then we are serving the evil which is Satan. Satan you take on all forms, you come with a smile, ( the bible says you disguise yourself like a ray of light) you inhabit all races of people but my God also inhabits all races of people and their is more good in the world than evil. You may want me to give up by believing that you have all power to do what you want,  but again, once again you are a loser. You lost way back when. You got yourself kicked out of heaven. Don't come after me because you are pissed. The story of Esau and Jacob shed a little light on the importance of being a child of God. I did not fully grasp it for a while. Esau chose a bowl of soup over his birthright. We sometimes do not understand the importance of serving God, living a life with Christ, walking the streets of gold and living for eternity. My human mind sometimes cannot grasp the concept. I only see as far as my mind allows me. Trying to believe something I have never seen can become daunting. However, too many things have happened in my life which tells me that without a doubt their really is a higher spirit. He is the almighty, the one who created me as well as you. I did not imagine him I actually have a relationship with him. He has proven to me time and time again and again that he is real. Since there is evil as well as good then that lets me know that there are two forces at work. I believe in the good. I believe in the good of people and I believe in the good of God. Good does eventually overcome evil and I know that one day all this evil will end forever.

The first, second and third coming of Jesus Christ!!!!

The first, second and third coming of Jesus Christ ( yeshua ).!!!!!

The first coming of Jesus Christ came about because of his great love for us. He came to show us the way back to him. He also came to let us know that his laws still stand. We are to abide by them. He said I did not come to abolish the laws but to fulfill them. Matthew 5:17 basically letting us know that everything that was prophesied about him by the prophets are true and he is here to fulfill everything prophesied about him. So the bible is true.

In the New Testament found in Mathew Jesus also said " I did not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance. Jesus first coming was laying the groundwork for letting us know, it is he who will judge us, it is he who will raise us up from the dead, it is he who will forgive us of our sins, it is he who heals us, it is he who will redeem us back to the father. He said all powers have been given him from the father. Matthew 28:18
He came in the flesh and dwelt among us as the bible states. He showed us tolerance and a good example is his crucifixion. He showed us love by healing and enforcing the fathers word. He showed us how to be meek and humble. Isaiah 53:7 like a lamb he was lead to the slaughter. And as a sheep is silent before the shearers he opened not his mouth. He fed thousands who came to see and hear him speak. This statement says to me that nothing is impossible with him and he also told us, Matthew 19:26 if we believe all things are possible.
He died and was raised from the dead letting us know that he truly has the power to also raise us up again. John 10:18 No one takes it from me but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. So Christ first coming he preaches for us to repent because the kingdom is at hand. He is sacrificed and raised from the dead and returns back to the father. Now we are left here on earth but we are not alone. He tells us that we now have the Holy Spirit which will guide us in all truth.

So the second coming of Christ will be for those people who have listened and believed in him and who honored his commandments. The bible said that if we love God then we will follow his commandments and do his will. Not our own will trying to be man pleasers but pleasers of Jesus  Christ. His second coming comes after the tribulation here on earth. Some people also believe that they will be taken up to heaven and avoid the tribulation all together. Wrong, the bible states that if Jesus did not come when he did their wouldn't be anyone left on earth. In revelation it gives an account of those who were beheaded for not taking the mark of the beast nor his name nor his number. Those will be arrayed in white robes because they overcame the devil. So let's be vigilant in our faith toward Christ. Satan is busy preparing his tactics against Gods children so let us also prepare by putting on the whole armor of Jesus Christ yeshua, because he is coming soon. Sooner than we think. Let's not fear what man can do because all these things were told to us. Those who are found worthy and whose name is written in the book of life. Those who has  no sin, and sin was not found in them will reign with him for 1000 years. Some people believe that after his second coming many will have a chance to get things right with God. Well I find that hard to believe.  The only chance we get is being right here on earth. Only those who partake of the first resurrection will be saved. The second resurrection is strictly for judgement. If I am wrong please feel free to school and correct me. In past readings I understood that the world will be at rest. Satan is locked up and unable to deceive the nations. Jesus second coming is for his people who all believed and was washed in his blood. Make no mistake, he will not be gentle and meek to unbelievers. Revelation 19:15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the wine press of the fierceness and wrath of almighty God. Zephaniah 2:3 says" seek ye the lord, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgement; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the Lords anger. Zephaniah 2:15 &17 That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness.
And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the Lord: and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as dung.

The third coming is when Satan is let loosed for a very short time to deceive the nations who will fight against Jesus. Satan will gather his army only to be struck down by the king of kings and Lord of Lords.  Now I have wondered who are these that make up the Devils army. I sometimes wonder are they those people whose names are not written in the book of life. Only those in the first resurrection are saved. So once we die that is it, no second chance. Anyone who par takes in the second resurrection is found guilty and has a permanent place in fire and brimstone the unquenchable Fire. May the Love of our almighty savior bring peace and blessings your way. Thank you for reading this.

Freely Give and Freely You Shall Receive!!!!

Freely give and freely you shall receive!!!!!!

I do not believe that the term  freely give means to freely give unto the pastor everything that you have. Sow a seed of $1000.00 or whatever the amount. People need to use common sense. Woman gives all her earnings to the church because she has cancer and she wants to be healed. Jesus charged no one for his miracles. When we give to the church we are giving the fruit of our harvest. We no longer have fruits and the vegetation of the field to give so we give a percentage of our income in the offering plate. Let's not take it upon ourselves and believe that because we have given to the church then we have given.  Our father in heaven means freely give to those who ask, and turn no one away. We know quite well that as humans we become judge mental in deciding who we should or should not give to. Remember this is written in the bible that if your neighbor comes to you in the night and ask for something do not turn him or her away and tell them to come back tomorrow when you have it to give. Proverbs 3:27,28

Do not withhold good from those to whom you should give it, if it is within your power to help.
Do not say to your neighbor, " Go away; come back later, I will give it to you tomorrow" if you can give it now.
There is another verse which says that you do not know if they need it or not. So basically don't worry about them trying to use you because your father in heaven will bless you and they will be heaping hot coals upon their heads. I am guilty of not giving when I should. I have been at traffic lights while someone is standing with a sign for help. I think to myself, by the time I go in my purse and get some change out the light will change and I will be holding up traffic. The proper thing to do would be to stop traffic and do what is in my heart to do but oftentimes I fail. I am not saying don't give to the pastor because the bible says, give 10% of your wages, (New Testament) but for those with million dollar houses and their own jets and the congregation is still hungry for spiritual food and physical food, I find something wrong with that. Like I have said before, everyone in that congregation should have their needs met. We live in a time where people are selfish and are only looking out for themselves. We can help those that we know if they are our friends. The bible says in Luke 14:13
But when you host a banquet invite the poor, the lame, and the blind. Basically invite those who are unable to pay you back. I would like to one day be able to do this but society has me afraid to reach out to others. I'm told people are crazy, what if they rob, steal or kill me. Can this be done in this age and time. If God said it then it can be done and it should be done. After all, isn't this what Jesus did with every last one of us. In the parable of the banquet found in Luke 14-21 a certain man was holding a banquet and sent his servant to all his friends to come but they all made excuses, so he told his servants to go out into the highways and byways and invite the lame, blind,poor and so on. Are not we those who Christ invites to the marriage supper. Let's not find excuses to not seek Jesus now. Who is perfect to enter heaven? Not one of us is perfect,  yet we put ourselves on a pedestal believing we are better than the next person, I am guilty again. God has a way of bringing us low and raising us up again. Remember King Nebuchadnezzar, his heart was lifted up and God debased him and after seven years was restored to his kingdom. We go as far as lying on someone because we do not like them, we kill without remorse, we gossip like a run away train, we dress like we had no training that a woman should be covered, but we uncover, I am guilty of this one also. I felt it was my right to dress how I wanted. Wrong. My body is not mines to do as I please. My body is a temple that the Holy Spirit should reside in. We call ourselves strong when we are being manipulated and used worse than an animal. Without our Heavenly Father we are weak. We believe that because we have a nice house or car that we have it going on, when God says, Revelation 3:17

But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor blind, and naked. I guess I should clarify this verse in revelation which is talking about the city which sits on seven hills which is Rome and the Catholic Church. She is rich and has accumulated great wealth, all kept in secret at the Vatican. I guess what I am saying is what we have here on earth can easily be taken away so while I am able to give I will give. Hoarding goods makes no sense if I die tomorrow because I cannot take it with me. The times are changing and these are evil times. We all need each other to survive. What if the government suddenly cuts everyone from receiving welfare and food stamps,What if our jobs just suddenly closed on us,What if our grocery stores just suddenly closed on us, what would we do? Go rob, steal and kill to survive. These things happen in other countries and it is predicted to happen here. The bible talks of great doom and disaster to happen on the face of the earth that has never happened since the beginning of time. I believe this is the beginning of tribulations. People don't want to hear it even though they can see that things are different. I don't know about you but, I can't sit in hell and burn and suffer. So whatever it takes to return to my first love which is Jesus Christ I will do. I forgive you 100% whomever or whatever and I'm moving on. I can either listen to the warnings and take heed or I can ignore the warnings. If you have control of life and death then you do not need to take heed but if you don't and don't know where your soul is going, then I suggest you take heed.

Romans 12:20
 If your enemies are hungry, feed them, if they are thirsty, give them something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals of shame on their heads.
 I just googled this and I see a lot of questions as to what does heaping burning coals on someone's head means. Well simply put, if someone is an enemy to you, then more than likely they have been very evil towards you. To be evil is the same as being wicked. The meek and the righteous will inherit the earth, not the wicked. Those who are wicked will inherit hell and all that it has to offer. Doesn't the bible say that the unrighteousness will receive fire and brimstone, and will burn forever. Don't we need coal for the fire. The shame of that is, those who are in hell will be able to see those who are in heaven and great shame will be on them because they never believed. Remember the story of Lazarus and the rich man. Our father in heaven says that there is a partition which separates the righteous from those who will be in hell. Just like their is a partition which separates heaven from the earth which jehovah calls a firmament.
 Let us all know without a doubt that we all were created by God and we all must return to God. We all must stand before the judgement seat one day. We all have to give an account of everything we did here on earth whether good or bad. Matthew 25:43,44, 45
I was a stranger and you did not take me in, I was naked and you did not clothed me, I was sick and in prison and you did not visit me,
And they too will reply, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or naked, or sick, or in prison and did not help you, and Yeshua will answer, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of  the least of these you did not do for me. May The Lords' Peace, Mercy, Blessings, and Love Rest upon You.

     To connect, defy or disconnect!!!!!

The conscience is connected to our outer being which is our flesh. The subconscious is connected to our inner being which is our spirit. The subconscious knows before the conscious does. However we sometimes ignore the subconscious and go with the obvious which is our conscious. The thing is our subconscious never lies. We need to listen to our subconscious or learn to connect to it  because it will save us a lot of headaches and even our life. Personally speaking I believe God is he who gives us the insight to listen to our subconscious. It's the same as intuition. He gives us the intuition to see and know ahead of time. I believe that is why 2 friends can be somewhere and 1 friend gets the feeling to leave because it just does not feel right. They both leave and their life gets saved. Some people are hardheaded. They feel it and know it but tries to defy it and end up in a sad situation. Then their are others who have no clue.

.       The prayer of Jehoshaphat!!!!!!!
When the children of Moab, Ammon, and the Syrians came against Jehoshaphat the king of Judah. He gathered all of Judah and prayed unto God.

O Lord God of our fathers, art not thou over all the kingdoms of the heathen? and in thine hand is there not power and might, so that none is able to withstand thee?
Art not thou our God, who didst drive out the inhabitants of this land before thy people Israel, and gave it to the seed of Abraham thy friend for ever?
And they dwelt therein, and have built thee a sanctuary therein for thy name, saying,
If when evil cometh upon us, as the sword, judgement, or pestilence, or famine, we stand before this house, and in thy presence, (for thy name is in this house,) and cry unto thee in our affliction then thou wilt hear and help.
And now, behold, the children of Ammon and Moab and mount Se'ir, whom thou wouldest not let Is'ra-el invade, when they came out of the land of Egypt, but they turned from them, and destroyed them not;
Behold, I say, how they reward us, to come to cast us out of thy possession, which thou hast given us to inherit.
O our God, wilt thou not judge them? For we have no might against this great company that cometh against us; neither know we what to do; but our eyes are upon thee.
So the Holy Spirit spoke through Ja-ha'zi-el in the congregation because all Judah was gathered within the congregation.
Hearken ye, all Judah and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, thus saith the Lord unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God's

Deliverance

Oh Lord my savior, I am up against so much. The enemy has decided that I am his to do as he pleases. He lies, because he comes with a little truth and a whole lot of lies. He steals because he has robbed me of my joy, my finances, and my love and devotion to you. I know that you are true. I know that you are real. I cannot believe anything else. The same God who created them also created me. It's strange because the more trials and tribulations I go through the more it draws me closer to you. I cannot give up and quit because your son did not give up on me. Everything that is here in this earth is here because of your love for me. You don't just love me but you love all of us, if only we chose to believe and as your word say" humble ourselves, turn from our wicked ways and seek your face. Sometimes I feel that the enemy does and says things about me to in someway discredit you. Who is man that I should follow and believe in him instead of the almighty savior. Who is man that I should fear him instead of fearing my God. I don't care what color you are but we both bleed, hurt, and feel pain the same way. It's just that some people have a heart to care about others and some people don't. They have a total lack of love and understanding for others. It's crazy how as a person while being alive we feel as though nothing can happen to us. As if our day to reckon with death will escape us. Our day to reckon with the almighty  will not escape us either.  I am scared of dying so how can I kill someone else. I have worked in healthcare for 30 years. I have seen what can happen to a person. If someone told you what will happen to you 20 years from now would you change or continue with what you are doing?If a person truly love life then they have to care about others. Where does the hate come from. I cannot hold that much hate in my heart. It is not in my spirit to do to others what others has done to me. All of this is ok. It's ok not because I am afraid of anyone or anything happening to me but because my God says" vengeance  is mine. I will continue to read the word and pray daily. Some days I pray more than others. I think it has to do with my stress level. Everyone handles their battles differently. Some people quickly give up by taking themselves out. I cannot do that one. To kill myself is saying "God, I don't feel you can help me. When we do right by God he will do right by us, and when we are right with him we will be right with others. If I know that I can no longer deal with people's character I will simply leave them alone. I don't have time to argue or listen to the lies and excuses that they bring. Jehovah, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob says that he is seeking a holy generation. I should seek to be holy because my God is Holy. I need my mind to be clear so I can worship God the way in which I should. This world is giving off bad vibes right now, but in order to handle everything I must meditate on my Lord. He says for us to meditate on his word. I should be singing songs of praise to him. I should be coming to him with praise and thanksgiving. The enemy wants me mad and crazy. It's like being sent to wild dogs who seek to tear me apart. However wild dogs is no match for my God. Not when he sends his angels to protect me. Not when he has his eyes on me because I am the apple of his eye. My God says that he seeks to comfort us like a hen gathers her chicks under her wings to protect them. Well I need his wings to gather me and protect me from this evil and adulterous generation. Jesus called them brood of vipers. If I am not honoring God then who am I honoring? I cannot let anyone or anything distract me from having true fellowship with my savior. Hey' whoever hates more power to you, continue on, and whoever loves more blessings to you, may God shower you with blessings after blessings. I cannot worry about who does not like me because there is much said about the wicked. I was not put here to worry. My God says " do not worry, so why should I. Now I use to worry, but now that I am having a better understanding as to the love of God towards his children I can only continue to worship more and believe more. With the trials I have been through I have a better understanding of life. There is a lesson to be learned in everything. Satan who is my strong enemy thinks he knows me, just like Job. I suppose he does not know what God put inside of me. The spirit to handle whatever comes my way. All I know is, I need to follow the one who lives forever so I can live forever with him in paradise to all eternity. To whomever  reads this please believe me, there is a hell. We can either live in hell for eternity or live in the new world with Jesus as our king, leading us for everlasting life. Some people have to see something in order to believe something. I don't know my grandmother, does that mean she did not exist. Expand Jesus in my life and my life will change.

              Drunken Stupor!!!!

The world is in a drunken stupor. We go about our day to day in a brain washed state, not seeing reality for what it truly is. So many lies being said. The lies are now facts and the facts  are now lies. Many are waking up but so many are still asleep. You claim you care but the only thing I see you doing is feeding me your poisons. The air I breathe, the food I eat and the water I drink are all poisons. Nothing seems safe. If it's safe today it will not be tomorrow. I feel like I'm eating Frankenstein food. It has no flavor. Everything must be labeled. I never thought I would see the day when everything needs to be questioned. Back in the day I would go to the grocery store and just purchase something if I liked it. Now I must read the labels to everything to make sure it's not hazardous to my health.
  I am quite sure that the foods that our ancestors ate was free from all of these poisons. Although Jehovah cursed the ground our ancestors did not need fertilizer. I'm sitting here reading about Solomon and the food set before him and I can just imagine the smells and flavor of the different foods presented at the Kings table. We have electronics and different gadgets to keep us occupied but I believe that this is the dumbest generation on the planet. How Can a generation who does not believe in the almighty survive. We get mad at other countries for chopping people's heads off and we are grossed out by it but we willingly run to an abortion clinic and kill our own unborn child. No sin is greater that the next because sin is sin. We have all the answers but still and yet we have no answer. I call this the dumbest generation because we cherish money over  life. Samuel 23:3,4...The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spake to me, He that ruleth over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God. And he shall be as the light of the morning when the sun riseth, even a morning without clouds, as the tender grass springing out of the earth by clear shining after the rain.
  I have heard some people say they are descendants of King David . Well the bible says that Jesus is also a descendant of King David. If these people with their false claims were true descendants of our Lord and Savior or they would do the will of his father. The Ten Commandments would be followed. Rulers would not toss is commandments to the side as if it's trash but give the world your vulgar , deceitful laws as if it's right. This is why the world is in a stupor. The laws we should be protecting is the one they are trying shamelessly to do without. Do as thou will and you will find yourself in hell. Remember Sodom and Gomorrah received fire and brimstone from heaven. The bible is true, God is real and life should be precious. However don't be surprised when you find out that there really is a hell, and God is real. We have no excuse. Don't let the laws fool you run back to the commandments of God and save your soul.

My Fellow Man!!!!

My fellow man!!!!!!

So I know the word, should I spread the word or just follow the word. Do I just keep what I know to myself?  If I call myself a Christian what should I be doing as a follower of Christ? Does my life change or I just go through life changes? So many questions.  Well, I just read Matthew 25 chapter and it seems that there are things I should be doing. In this chapter Jesus compares Heaven by giving us analogies. Basically letting us know that heaven is a place you do not want to let slip by because you will be one sorry individual if you do. First analogy describes the 10 virgins. 5 had oil in there lamp which means that they were prepared for the coming of the bridegroom. Since we know not what hour Jesus is coming we should always be prepared. We do not want to be like the other 5 virgins who's oil ran out and they missed the bridegroom's coming. No amount of pounding on the door could let them in. 

  It is interesting that when Jesus met his disciples and said follow me they immediately dropped what they were doing. They asked no questions and started to follow him. It's the same as knowing the word. Once we have learned truth there should be no hindrance on our part. To find Jesus is like finding the most beautiful and expensive diamond in the world. We cannot let it go. We cannot let him go. We cannot fall asleep on him because we will miss living with him for eternity. 

  So back to these questions, should I spread the word or just follow the word. Since the bible says that a woman should be quiet in the church I am quiet but I write this blog in hopes of changing lives. We all have questions. The only answer that I see is to seek Jesus Christ. God almighty says that we are to seek him while he still may be found. We are to seek him while we are young so that when we get old his word will not depart from us. What should I be doing if I am a follower of Christ? Well in Jesus time there were women who hung with his disciples and they also taught the word and were able to bring others to Christ.   

   I am not a pastor nor minister but I read the word often. As I look around this world and see the changes taking place I feel the need to let people know from my own experience that Jehovah is real. Jesus is coming back. We must be on guard because the antichrist is working endlessly trying to deceive many. Our only hope is to put our faith and trust in the almighty so that we are not deceived. So many people are dying, destruction seems to be all around us. There are Countries wanting to destroy other countries. This is not the time to sit back and take it easy. We need to fight the fight of faith. We need to be consistent in our walk because as Luke 9:62 says" No man, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back is fit for the kingdom of God. Meaning, we cannot start out following Jesus and then go back to our old ways by missing the things we use to do. Following Christ is an everlasting process. 

  Matthew 13:18- 23 The parable of the sower......when anyone heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side. But he that received the seed into stony ground, the same is he that heareth the word, and along with joy receive it; yet hath he not root in himself, but endures for a while: for when tribulation or persecution arise because of the word, by and by he is offended. He also that receive seed among the thorns is he that hears the word; and the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of Riches, choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. But he that received seed into the good ground is he that hears the word, and understands it; which also bears fruit, and bringeth forth, some and hundredfold, some sixty,some thirty. 

  So let us bear fruit worthy of saving lives. 

The new roots!!!!!

The new roots!!!!!

So I have heard there is a new roots movie. Sorry to say I have only seen bits of the old. So I have never really seen it. 

  The old roots came out when I was in grade school. I remember my classmates talking about it but my mother refused to watch it, so I never got a chance to see it. 

  I also grew up in Jamaica and my experience of what I learned in school while being in Jamaica was totally different from what I learned in the United States. As a child I remember that we prayed and sang the Jamaican anthem each morning. At lunch since some students went home for lunch we also prayed and we prayed before school let out in the evening. Jamaica honors Marcus Garvey just as America honors Martin Luther King.  While living and going to school in Jamaica we as children were taught to be proud of our country and who we were as a people. 

  Coming to America and going to school here, was a totally different experience.  The first school I went to was predominantly black teachers and students.  It was ok. I learned the basics, reading, writing and arithmetic. After my first year that school was closed for good. I now had to be bussed across town to a new school. At the new school I learned about Eric the red, Christopher Columbus and slavery. It was taught in such a way that it made me angry. In my mind,  my descendants were never slaves. After the slave routine here comes the evolution story. We descended from apes and there was always a picture of a black gorilla being used to say this is where we came from. Somehow that made me have  a dislike for my teacher.  That experience was actually my first indoctrination to racism at its finest. ( Let me get you while you are young because I don't care who you think you are) . It's like a brainwash experience. Whites sailed and ventured the world but you came from slavery. You were beaten, raped, murdered, sold, stolen and as of right now you are still a slave because others and whites will not ever see you as anything else because we will never let you forget. 

  I am glad I never saw roots. I don't need roots to teach me who I am or who my ancestors were. The Egyptian tombs, mummy's, pyramids and hieroglyphics are enough. If those are not enough, the story of the moors conquering Spain, the black kings and queens which ruled Africa and traded with the Arabs also gives me a good insight to my ancestors. 

  These kinds of movies teach hatred.  They sow self hatred and hatred towards those who enslaved blacks. 

  To anyone who believes that blacks can only be slaves and negroes let me just say this. After reading the book of Deuteronomy I have come to this understanding, ( an understanding I have never heard a minister talk about. As if to say we can't touch that subject. The people are blind and they must stay blind. ) God laid down his laws and guidelines for the Israelites. He gave them blessings and curses. Those curses only happened to those people who were shipped throughout the ends of the earth to a people strong and greater that them. Far from their homeland. You will long to see it but you will not return.  You will watch your children sold In front of you. You will have chains around your neck and chains around your feet. So yes blacks are cursed, not for the color of their skin or their kinky hair but for being disobedient to the most high God. It is very sad when a person does not know his heritage yet the bible tells us who we are. We seem to be the only people who don't believe or see it. We are so busy doing wrong and trying to fit in where we do not belong. The only reason we do not belong is because we belong to God. We are his but we act as though we do not care.  Come out from among them, separate yourselves. God's people are suppose to be holy. Once we return to the most high , not with lip service but by hearkening to his voice . 2 Chronicles 7:14  If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways then I will hear from heaven , and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. Deuteronomy 28:68. Gives all indication that slavery from Africa to the Americas and the Caribbean are the original Israelites. 

  So I write this to say. I am not a slave  nor will I be any ones slave in the future. I will not take part of this systemic system to continually enslave and lie to me be it mentally or physically. I serve a God who says that we are his sons and daughters. My father is a great King and he rules this world and everything in it. One day all wickedness will end. PEACE

  

Power and money!!!!

So you love power. Don't let power be the death of you. You like to be honored but hate to honor your creator. You make laws, but hate the laws of God. Due to power and money the greatest atrocities known to mankind was done in the name of religion. What God do you serve? Certainly not the same God I serve. As the good book says" you go up on the hilltop and worship your gods which are not Gods. You drink the blood and you love to shed the blood of the innocent. Justice and truth is far from you. You can't handle the truth. Would that be why so many lies are being told. The lord says" I will lift up your skirts and show your lovers your shame. You know, the one you lie in bed with. The ones you take counsel from, but refuse righteous council. You are as the word says ' a degenerate vine. Where is the love for God's sake. You have no love for your fellow man. Your only love is money and power. How far will it get you? Can you live forever? How do you live with yourself knowing that you are responsible for others not having a decent job, decent housing or decent pay. It's ok for you to have but others should not. What if the tables were turned. You who  cherish power and money. What if you were stripped of everything and everything you have given to those whose lives you have tried to destroy. Did it ever occur to you that we all must pay the penalty of what we do here on earth. Do you seriously believe that life ends after we die. Please do not fool yourself. Do not let Satan beguile you like he did Eve. You saw what happened to mankind. Everything that God intended for mankind was taken away because Adam and Eve rebelled. Scientist are trying to find the fountain of youth, scientist are also trying to find the gene to living forever. I wonder why!!! Could it be that we all have that inherent desire to live and be youthful because it was  a part of Gods plan from the beginning. We humans will not get very  far without God. I don't care how many demons and deceased ancestors we take council from. As the good book says"  

  1 Corinthians 1:25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.

  James 5:5 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.

2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.

3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.

4 Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.

5 Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.

6 Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.

7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.

8 Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. 

  So when we here of the plans that the wicked has for us, let us not worry but gather together in prayer, fasting and reading. Praying often because James 5:16 states; The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth   much. 

I am so tired!!!!

I am so tired!!!!

  I am physically and mentally tired.  I am tired of people and their ways. I am even tired of myself. I found myself acting just like the Israelites of long ago. God enabled Moses to lead them out of 400 years of bondage. They saw first hand the almighty powers of God and still they walked the desert with an unbelieving heart. The Israelites in exodus murmured and complained often. They saw things that we can only imagine and still they complained. I know deep down in my heart that God is by my side, but still I tend to get angry and let outside circumstances get the best of me. Like my daughter told me recently" when you learn to not care what people say or think then you will be fine. The thing is people are people. Few care and many don't. The bible says in the last days men's heart will wax cold. It will be a time of mothers against daughters, fathers against sons., your worst enemy will be members of your own household.

 So today I had a discussion with a pastor / mental health specialist. After going over in my head our discussion I have come to this conclusion. Even pastors do not read and pray each day. In order to feel and see the power of God work daily in our lives we all must commit ourselves to reading and praying each and every day. As the word say " We must pray without ceasing. It is easy to understand that humans will think and believe whatever they want to, however it takes a man or woman of God to take a good look at the facts without being bias in order to come to an acceptable and truthful answer to whatever situation or things may be. The discussion I had today told me that when people do not understand something they come up with their own consensus, be it factual or false. Mankind who do not have a true righteous relationship with Christ do not understand the power of God moving in someone else's life. It's as though they are trying to say that the things which happen in your life is not from God. So because they are denying his power you should also deny his power. The bible gives many stories of God protecting his people. Leaders seem to not know this power so they do not teach about the power of God.  I know the power of God and know that me of myself is capable of doing nothing. It is the power of Jesus Christ which has sustained me all my life. I have no power of my own. So do not get the facts twisted. 

 Psalm 121:7 The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil. He shall preserve thy soul.

  Psalm 4:8 In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone Oh'  Lord will keep me safe. 

  Psalm 91:11 For he will order his angels to protect you wherever you go.

  There are many more verses of God protecting those who believe in him. He even protects those who are unbelievers because as he said again, Matthew 5:45 it rains on the just as well as the unjust.

Who is in the church!!!!

Who is in the church

Satan is in the church. Many people go to church. They hear a feel good speech, clap their hands, jump for joy, do a amen and a hallelujah and leave the church doing the same devilish mess they were doing before they went to church. Some people go to church faithfully each Sunday morning and will drink, smoke fornicate and curse you out on Monday through Saturday. If a pastor is not preaching to save lost souls then please beware. 

  We feed our bodies so we also must replenish and feed our souls. We must be careful what our soul is being fed. Just like junk food is bad for us and is more like garbage so is our spirit man. We need to be nurtured spiritually in truth and righteousness. The Lord said to feed his sheep. He also said the people perish for lack of knowledge. 

  When we were children and in school the teacher taught us but we were given homework. Well today we also need to do our homework. We cannot just leave it up to the pastor. We have to read on our own also. As the saying goes " you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink.

   When we leave a church service do we leave with a desire to change our lives. Were we moved by what we heard. Did we get that longing to know God and to seek after him or did we say" let's go get lunch, and start playing the radio which plays secular music. 

 Everyone has their own problems and issues and some people may not realize that they need the Lord. They may not even care to know him, however I know for a fact that we all need him. 

 The bible says to discern the spirit so we need to pay attention to what we are being fed on Sunday mornings .  I go to church because I need spiritual food. I also go because I'm lost and I need to be found, I'm downtrodden and I need to be raised up, I'm sick and I need healing, I have pain and I need to be pain free, I'm imprisoned and I need to be free, I'm thirsty and I need to drink, I'm hungry and I need to be fed, I'm naked and I need to be clothed, I'm cold and I need warmth, the bible says I need to be washed in hyssop and made clean. My soul needs God and I can't speak for you. 

The author and finisher of it all!!!

The author and finisher of it all!!!

So I have been listening to a couple of people complain about their relationship with their mates. Here are two people with the same  concern. Their man provides and pay bills but he is not passionate enough. They wished he cared more, or gave them more attention. As I listened to someone else give them advice I had a little grin on my face  to what they were talking about. Not that I was laughing at the situation but because I now know that to every problem and situation in life I now have an answer. It took me years to realize that I needed to take all of my problems to God. I actually thought that I could solve them myself. These two people I know personally and If I told them to pray about it they would both say " yea ok," but they would not listen to me. What I have come to understand is that if two people in a relationship decided to pray together they will see a change in their relationship. A change for the better. God knows our thoughts, he reads our minds, he knows our likes and dislikes. He knows each and every one of us better than we know ourselves. He also knows what is best for us. The Lord says for us to bring all of our cares to him. He gave us relationships, he gave us family, he gave us love, he gave us sex, people have sex, plants have sex, animals have sex. He gave us life, he gave us everything. Why is it so difficult to go to God with all our problems when he created all the things we are having a problem with. So if I am having a problem in any area of my life I am taking it to him. Now what I know is that he also told us to not fornicate since it is a sin. So if someone is having a problem in a relationship in which they are not married well, maybe they need to fix the bigger issues first. We need to ask ourselves why are we in this relationship in the first place. Is it to eventually get married or is it just another boyfriend girlfriend thing.  If it is another boyfriend and girlfriend thing then as time goes on the relationship goes south and we move on to the next. Personally I am tired of the same repetitive thing that leads to nowhere. I want marriage, after all it is Gods gift to us. 

  God gave Eve to Adam and even though Eve sinned first he did not destroy the relationship, he sent them both out of the garden of Eden. The bible says that God hates divorce and we ourselves should be doing what ever possible to save our marriage if we have one. Jesus first miracle was turning water into wine at a wedding. I guess all I'm trying to say is if a person is living in sin don't ask God to bless your sin. It won't happen, but when we start to line ourselves up with God and ask him to come into our hearts, home, relationships and what ever situation we are having he will fix whatever is broken. After all he created all things because he is the Author and finisher of all things.

There is no rapture before the tribulation!!!!

There is no rapture before the tribulation. 

  Revelation 1:7 Behold he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they Also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so,  Amen.

  I have heard the saying "The Rapture". I have spoken to people who believe that when shit hits the fan and the tribulation starts, they will be raptured up to heaven. The left behind series gives the idea that people will be on earth while others are taken up to heaven with Jesus Christ. If that is true then it would mean that the people left on earth are given a second chance to do it right. I watched the movie revelation road. This movie gives the same account that those left on earth will also be given a second chance. 

   I have never read anywhere in the bible that people will be living on the earth while the saints live with Christ for a thousand years. I at one time studied with jehovah witness and they also give that same interpretation. Those who are not with Christ for his thousand year rule will live on earth without the interruption of Satan, since he will be locked up. They will be given a second chance. I find that very hard to believe based on scripture. For someone who has not been reading they may find themselves being misled. As I have said before I am not a scholar. I am just someone who reads often and hopes that others find their way to the truth, God's truth. 

Matthew 24:40 &42 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 

Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. I suppose these two statements have some people believing that they will be given a second chance to get it right. I think not.  From reading the bible for myself this is not the understanding that I have received. Matthew 24:27 For as lightening cometh out of the east, and shines even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Verse 29-31 states, immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven; and then shall all tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. If you pay attention closely it says in Matthew 29, immediately after the tribulation the coming of Jesus Christ. 

  John 15:13 states, greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. In the book of Genesis 22:1-2 God tested Abrahams faith. Then he said, take your son your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you. 

The most high God offered his one and only son Jesus Christ as a sacrifice. Isaiah 53:7 states " he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep is silent before the shearers he did not open his mouth. In the book of Revelation while John was on the island of Patmos in his vision he states" Revelation 20 :4 and I saw the souls of those that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. Who do we love the most? Do we love Christ or do we love the world and the things of this world. We must understand that to be a follower of Christ does not give us a get out of tribulation free card. If we pay attention we would see that Satan comes to earth to make war against the saints. Jesus disciples all suffered for believing in him. We must also be ready to do the same. After all didn't Jesus die for us.

   If someone took the time and googled guillotines they would see that the U.S has ordered over 30 thousand guillotines on its soil. This is not the time to not believe in Jesus Christ because the end is very near. Yesterday my cousin sent me a video about a cashless society and everyone being made to take the chip by the year 2017. 

  Nothing is a guarantee in this life except death. So instead of worrying about death let us make sure that we know where we are going when that time comes. It will not be easy however Jesus told us  in revelation 2:5 Fear none of those things which thou shall suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life. Matthew 10:19 but when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak. No one wants to go through trials and tribulation but jesus does not come before the tribulation he comes after. The only opportunity given to us to find Christ is the life we are in right now. but they shall be priest of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. 

 

  While the saints live with Christ for 1000 years the earth will rest from all the evil that has been committed on it. I can no longer find that statement in the bible not even the King James Bible. I However going back over in revelations 19:20 and the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. Verse 21 and the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh. Revelation 20 and I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the devil, and Satan and bound him a thousand years, and cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up and set a seal upon him that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season. From my understanding the season that Satan is loosed is when he goes to prepare his army in the battle of Armageddon. Revelation 20:7 states and when the thousand years are expired, Satan be loosed from his prison, and shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle; the number of them is as the sand of the sea. Revelation  20:12 states and I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. 13, and the sea gave up the dead which were in it and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14 and death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. If we want to be certain about things then we must read 2 Timothy 2:15 read to show thyself approved.

Lupercalia, or Happy Valentines !!!!!

Lupercalia is  a celebration  or festival in honor of the roman God of fertility. This celebration started in Rome. It took place on February   15 and went on for 3 days. Lupercalia derives its name from lupercus the God of shepherds.  In ancient Rome this festival was first done to help with cultivation and harvest. It later was used to rid the empire of evil spirits, purifying the city and to release health and Fertility. The celebration consisted of the priest sacrificing a goat and a dog whose blood the people dipped their whips in and marched around the city. After dipping the whips in the blood of the sacrificed animals the whips were used to strike the women across the buttocks as they paraded half naked along the street.  On the eve of the festival young girls names were written on a small piece of paper and put in jars and the young boys would pick a name. After picking the name they were allowed to be together  for the remainder of the festival sometimes up to a year. This would often lead to marriage. Salt meal cakes were served by the vestal virgins. Vestal virgins were priestesses of vesta, the goddess of the hearth. 

By the 5th century the honoring of Lupercalia or pagan festivities were outlawed but the Roman Christians still hung to Lupercalia. Some modern researchers claim the modern custom of saint valentines day originate from Lupercalia. 

We are all born into different cultures with different ideas and belief systems. We find ourselves going along without questioning anything. There is no way we can live in this world and not notice the many wrongs which goes on continually, and as we build our faith in God he opens our heart and mind to come to the truth. 

Saint valentines was a real person. He was a temple priest who was jailed for defying the ruler at that time who was Claudius 11. He would marry Christian couples and he also helped christians who were being persecuted. Since it was against the law to aid Christians he was jailed and later beheaded for trying to convert the emperor or ruler Claudius 11 to becoming a Christian. Now the world celebrate Valentine's with no questions asked. Once again we just do what others around us has always done not realizing this is just another act of corporations raking in the money while we foolishly spend it. I do not need a day set aside as a reminder to tell my loved ones that I love them. That should be done regardless. A man should not go out of his way to try and please me on Valentine's Day, that should be done continually on his behalf without worldly reminders. I cannot do what everyone else do I can only do what my heart tells me to do.. We get trapped in these customs and belief system which has nothing to do with God almighty only to find out that we are adhering to something that honors other Gods instead of the Most High God. So let's question everything and adhere only to the things which are pleasing to our savior. John 8:32 Seek ye the truth and the truth shall set you free. 

Speechless Soul!!!

I'm that soul that has no speech, lost in the deep, searching for the one who redeems,. The one who is the giver of everything. Everyone knows about him but not everyone believes in him. So many souls searching for truth when truth is staring you right in the face. As one man ask" what is truth, another man says there is no truth.Truth comes from knowing him, the giver of all things. I can't take away the praises due to him because he is the one who gave me life. I cannot pretend that he does not exist because without him, I would cease to  exist. They say knowledge is power but yet many people act as though they don't know. I cannot be blind to him because He is everywhere, He is everything. I see him in the mountains, I see him in the sea, I see him in my children I see him in me. If he did not exist there would only be darkness, actually that is a lie. If he did not exist there would be nothingness, and who has seen nothingness. I cannot give glory to another because he is too mighty and magnificent for me to ignore. Don't you see him in everything? I do, I see God in you as well as in me. 

Corinthians1:25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men....

Refusing to believe in Christ but believes in satan!!!!

Refusing to believe in Christ but believes in satan. 

Is there life? As long as there is life there is death. Is there good? Then I suppose as long as there is good there is evil. Is it possible to have one without the other? Yes it is, but not in this world. We must remember that back in Genesis before Adam and Eve disobeyed God that was how things were. Some people want to credit satan with giving us the light to see; to see what? They call him the light bearer. In the beginning before we were created he was the light bearer, however jealousy and envy changed all of that. How can one be greater that the one who made or created you. In his mind, he will be like the most high, he will ascend above Gods throne. What God was he talking about. So God gives us free will to do as we please. Why would I give thanks to the created being, the one who is created just like me. Satan certainly is not the creator. I prefer Gods plan much better. To worship satan instead of God would be like listening to my dumb friends from school about life instead of my parents who wants the best for me. 

  I only wish that people would examine this situation. Satan is a liar and a deceiver. He tells some truth and gives lies also. The bible says that he is the father of all lies. So if someone likes to lie, and likes being lied to, then I understand why they may find him to be ok. To those who are seeking truth, balance and harmony in their life then I believe that choosing Christ would be the wiser choice. Jesus said " I come that you may have life and have it more abundantly. 

  As surely as there is a God there is a devil, as surely as there is heaven, there is hell, as surely as there is life there is death, as surely as there is wrong there is right, as surely as there is north there is south, as surely as there is black there is white and everything else in between. 

  Yes God gave us free will, but not free will to sin and do as we please, because in every decision that we make there are consequences. My reason for being alive is not because of satan. So why would I honor him. He is definitely not the reason this world was created. Satan did not sacrifice his son for me to have eternal life with God, The only thing that I see satan doing is wreaking havoc in my life and the life of many others. I have never heard any stories of satan performing any miracles. I have not heard of him healing anyone, I was told however that he goes up and down the earth seeking who he may devour. Since he once lived in heaven then he knows all about heaven. Maybe that is why he tries to hinder us from getting there, because he can no longer ascend there. The opening to heaven has been totally closed shut to him and the Angels who rebelled with him. Jude 1:6 And the Angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness 

unto the judgement of the great day.

  Win or loose, I like to be on the winning side. I don't see my God loosing so I intend to be on the winning side. Jesus went to the cross but not because he lost. He went to the cross because of our sins and to redeem us back to the father. Jesus said" John 10:18 No man taketh my life from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have the power to lay it down and to take it up again. This commandment I received of my father. So Jesus is the first resurrection. 1 Corinthians 15:20-23 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first fruits of them that slept. For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. But every man in his own order: Christ the first fruits;  after-ward they that are Christ's at his coming.

Zephaniah, ( The day of the Lord)!!!

Zephaniah, (The day of the Lord)..!!!!

The book of Zephaniah is a very short book. As I am reading this I am realizing that these short books of the minor prophets are not preached about much in church. Researchers may call them minor but in my mind they are major. These books speaks to me. These books are for those who seek a better tomorrow. It speaks to people who are tired of this system. 

   A system that does not put God first. I live in a world that is constantly changing. This is a world that promotes sin, and punish those who speak out against it. I live in a world where young youths die each day on the streets to gunshots and it seems perfectly normal. I live in a world where men marry men and women marry women and it is suppose to be the norm. In the days of Sodom and Gomorrah it was not passed as law, but now they have passed laws stating that it is perfectly legal. Whose laws are these?  Is my God dead? isn't he alive!!!! This takes me to the book of Ezekiel where God asks " do you see what they are doing? Ezekiel 8:6 Son of man, seest thou what they do? Even the great abominations that the house of Israel committeth here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary? But turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations. In the book of Ezekiel God seems surprised as he is talking to Ezekiel about their abominations.  

  We as a people also become perplexed and surprised as we see the changes taking place right before our eyes. It is up to those who know the word to warn the people. To warn them of  Gods judgement and coming destruction. The Lord says that he takes no pleasure in the death of any of us so why should we carelessly loose our life to foolishness. 

   Zephaniah speaks of coming destruction which will take place upon the whole earth. No city or country shall escape. However God tells us, if we will humble ourselves, hearken to his voice, and do his will, such as following his commandments that he will heal us, he will heal our land, he will bless our children and the womb of our bodies, we will not miscarry. The Lord is Good. It is us who have sinned and turned away from him. Let us return to him because we need healing, our land needs healing, our children needs healing, every country needs healing. 

  There is hope,  and God is our hope. If we would only believe and trust in him.  Let the church say AMEN.

Where are the shepherds!!!

Where are the Shepherds?!!!!! 

The shepherds have scattered the sheep. There are many lost sheep seeking a godly leader and that is hard to find. The shepherds now preach a different gospel. They teach that feel good gospel, that come and get your praise on gospel, that gospel that is not saving souls but sending many souls to hell. 

  Woe to the idol shepherd that leaveth the flock! The sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened. 

   The good shepherd however leaves the fold and look for the one sheep that is lost. Luke 15:4 What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them doth not leave the ninety nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it. 

Luke 15:7 I say unto you? That likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons which need no repentance.

Plead My Cause Oh Jah!!!

O Lord, (fight against them that fight against me)..!!!

 I stand accused but there is one who will, has and will forever plead my cause. I am his so he will fight for me. Zechariah 3:2-4 And the Lord said unto satan, the Lord rebuke thee, O satan; even the Lord that hath chosen jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire? Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel, and he answered and spake unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment. 

  There are no verses in the bible which gives an account of Joshua sinning against God but yet satan stands at his side accusing him to God. Psalm 35: Plead my cause oh Lord, with them that strive with me, fight against them that fight against me, take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help. Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation. Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and bought to confusion that devise my hurt. Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the Lord chase them. Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the Lord persecute them. For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without cause they have digged for my soul. Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that he hath hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall. And my soul shall be joyful in the Lord: it shall rejoice in his salvation. All my bones shall say, Lord, who is like unto thee, which deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and needy from him that spoileth him? False witness did rise up; they laid to my charge things that I knew not. They rewarded me evil for good to the spoiling of my soul. But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into my own bosom. I behaved myself as though he had been my friend or brother: I bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth for his mother. But in my adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: yea, the abjects gathered themselves together against me, and I knew it not; with hypocritical mockers in feast, they gnashed upon me with their teeth. Lord, how long wilt thou look on? Rescue my soul from their destructions, my darling from the lions. I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I will praise thee among much people. Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause. For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land. Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, and said, aha, aha, our eye hath seen it. This thou hast seen, O Lord; keep not silence: O Lord, be not far from me. Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgement, even unto my cause, my God and my Lord. Judge me, O Lord my God, according to thy righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me. Let them not say in their hearts, ah, so would we have it: let them not say, we have swallowed him up. Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at mine hurt: let them be clothed with shame and dishonor that magnify themselves against me. Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favor my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, let the Lord be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant. And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness and of thy praise all the day long. 

   We all have problems, and we all handle it differently. To read this psalm says, that David was a man who had more than his share of enemies. In the book of kings we learn that David and his men hid in caves to hide from Saul and his men. He had many occasions to take revenge on him but he refused. He could have taken Saul's life but he said, this is the Lords' anointed. He did not have the hate for Saul, that Saul had for him. He found solace in writing the psalms and seeking God for guidance. I posted this psalm because there are times when life is not pleasant, and the people in our lives are not right. So instead of allowing life and all its problems to get the best of me I will take solace in knowing that God answers our prayers. He said that our tears are stored up in a bottle psalm 56:8. This speaks volumes because we mean that much to him. So nothing goes unnoticed, he does not toss our problems or trials away. He has mercy, he will heal and restore us. 

Ish'i ( God Is My Husband).!!!!!

ISHI ( God is My Husband).!!!!!

In the book of Hosea God makes known to us that he is our husband. However we have played the harlot and have not honored him the way a wife should honor her husband. Yes, God is our spiritual husband meaning in all things we should seek, honor and obey him. Instead we have turned our backs and are found worshipping other gods who are not Gods. When our harvest or finances increase we praise ourselves and others instead of praising God. In the book of Hosea 2:7 & 8, it states, and she shall follow after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find them: then shall she say, I will go and return to my first husband; for then was it better with me than now. For she did not know that I gave her corn, and wine, and oil, and multiplied her silver and gold, which they prepared for Baal It is God who makes it all possible. 

   So many relationships are broken. Many wives refuse to allow their husbands to rule in his own house. Women are so independent that they have taken on the role of being a single parent. For Father's Day they say that they are the mother and father to their  children. A woman can never be a mother and a father to her child. She can care for her children as best as she can, but that child without his or her father will always be lacking a need of some sort.  Be it emotional, financial or whatever the case may be, a home without both parents is lacking.

  It is interesting to know that God uses a man to find an adulteress as a sign to the people. Women may not want to adhere to this, but it is the woman who sinned first.  God has given us the gift of marriage, marriage to him and marriage to each other. The same way we have walked away from him is the same way we have walked away from each other. We no longer consider God to be our first priority. Placing God at the head of our household should be first and foremost. When God is at the head of the household that house will stand. When God is not the head of that household we end up with broken marriages, broken children and broken lives. We all know the saying" a house divided must fall. 

  A harlot or an adulteress is one who has been with many men sexually. who has stepped away from her husbandry duties. She no longer listens to her husband. She wonders off to find other men to comfort her. She goes on the hilltop to worship other Gods. She encourages her husband to do the same. Now they both have turned their back on their rightful place. 

 Doesn't this mean that wives should honor their husbands the way they honor God, and husbands should honor their wives the way God honors us. Can we walk out on God and forget that he is our God. If God is the head of the household then why are there so many broken relationships. God should be the rightful head of the household then comes our earthly husband. For not having God as our first love and spiritual husband there are consequences to be paid. 

  Hosea 2:9,10,11,12,13  Therefore will I return, and take away my corn in the time thereof, and my wine in the season thereof, and will recover my wool and my flax given to cover her nakedness. And now will I discover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of mine hand. I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feast days, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn feast. And I will destroy her vines and her fig trees, whereof she hath said, " These are my rewards that my lovers have given me: and I will make them a forest, and the beast of the field shall eat them. And I will visit upon her the days of ba'al-im, wherein she burned incense to them, and she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and she went after her lovers, and forgot me, saith the Lord. There are also consequences for being an adulterer and a harlot to our earthly husbands. When families, marriages and relationships break apart we no longer can keep things together. Finances gets ruined, couples fight and argue, love is gone from the relationship, and worst of all,  society breaks down. 

 So let us return to our first husband because he is coming for his bride. 2 Corinthians 11:1-4  Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me. For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have betrothed you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtlety, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. For if he that cometh preach another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him. 

Isaiah 62:5 for as a young man marries a young woman, so shall your sons marry you, and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so shall your God rejoice over you. 

Hosea 2:16 And it shall be in that day, saith the Lord, that thou shalt call me Ish'i; and shalt call me no more  Ba'al-i.
