R U A Part of the GOBN???

Greetings 2 u!

Now I know, the title may seem like I am anti-Pastors. No, I'm not.

I have a question for pastors. Elders. Leaders. Male ones.

R U a part of the Good Ol' Boys Network?

Do you see Hophni and Phinehas running rampant in the church and instead of dealing with it, you cover it up? You are so worried about appearance and approval of man that you don't stand up for your daughters?

You see Slick Willy making a move for the praise leader and you won't do a thing about it? Then when she ends up pregnant, you wanna blast her from the pulpit?

A couple has come to you wanting to get married. The man is a leader in the church. You know the marriage is doomed and not of God. But because that's ya boy and you tired of seeing him feem in his flesh, you agree to marry him and his hottie so he won't fall into sin.

You see that pedophile masquerading as a deacon brushing up to the kids in church. He goes on all the trips where the kids go. Yet, you won't do a thing about it. You didn't check his background well enough when you 'deaconized' him, and now all the kids are at risk. But you don't have the courage to kick that nasty deacon out.

You know that preacher or organist is a little fruity. He has too much pep in his step, too much sugar in his tank. And you discern that he is sweet on a couple of guys in the church.

But because he plays that organ crazy, because he is so anointed and talented, you won't sit him down and do deliverance with him. Then he will get offended and leave the church.

Or you know that woman is called to preach. Yet, you keep her down, preach at her and tell her she has a devil because she came to you with the call.

If you have been guilty of doing these things, then you are an official member of the GOBN--Good Ol' Boys Network!!!!!!

Being a part of the GOBN means you are a part of lies, coverup and deception. Why? I don't know why. Seems to me being a member of the GOBN means losing your soul, but some kinda way, you justify being part of a coverup. You justify lying and placing people in situations where they can lose God or backslide.

You are afraid of people. You are a people pleaser. Because you know that standing up for the truth would mean losing some friendships and alliances. Some members will leave if you expose deception and foolishness. If you preach holiness and salvation instead of prosperity and partaking of foolish marriages.

Some of you can't make that stand because you fell into the trap yourself. And you conclude that you made it out okay. So, so will they.

Do you not know you are held responsible for those souls you mislead??????

Don't be a part of the GOBN! Stand up for righteousness! If you aren't gonna get folks saved, and tell people the truth about salvation, if you don't give GODLY counsel to the people and allow them to enter into foolishness....

You will see those same souls in hell with you in the JUDGMENT!!!!!

God Bless.

What is going on with the marriages???

I didn't want to believe it.

I didn't want to receive it.

I was heartbroken.

I was heartbroken when I heard about the impending divorce of Paula White and the marital discord between Bishop Thomas Weeks and Prophetess Juanita Bynum Weeks.

This has been a trend for the past few years. When Noel Jones was divorced-that is when it seem to begin.

Major preachers marriages failing.

I thought about it. I prayed about it. I am not the type of person to be happy to hear of a Christian marriage breaking up.

God, what is going on with all these Christian marriages???????

God showed me.

Especially in Christian marriages. People, SAINTS, we need to take care of one another. I don't mean preach about taking care of one another.

I mean turning down that opportunity to preach or sing to spend some quality time with the one God gave you. Stop pleasing folks and please God, and take care of your loved one.

Don't neglect your families or marriages for ministry. We got our priorities mixed up! We are so hyped up into believing that it is okay to not spend time with our families, our husbands, our wives to prove to people who don't care anyway that we are the anointed of God!!!

What a bunch of poppycock!!!!!!!!!!!

I love my first pastor, Bro. Michael Day, pastor of Living Way U.P.C. of LaPlace, LA, I love what he told his congregation one time. He said he will not neglect his wife, Nora, for no one in that church. I love you, I will be there for you and pray for you. But God gave me this wife, and I am going to take care of her.

That was almost 20 years ago. They had been married as teenagers years before I knew them. And they are still going strong.

That is a real man of God. Yes, anointed, love God, handled the affairs of ministry effectively, meets the needs of the sheep entrusted unto his care. But I see how he has CONSISTENTLY dealt with the wife of his youth. No matter who comes or goes to Living Way, he is enraptured with his wife. He takes her out. He prays with her. He is committed to her....NOT TO HIS MINISTRY.

Meaning...

I believe preachers can be a bit unbalanced. We get caught up so with the needs of the ministry so, that we neglect home. Then we act shocked when things blow up.

Look at Juanita Bynum. I love her with all my heart and soul. But I always wondered how wise it was to be traveling all over the world and leaving her new husband behind like that.

We need to learn balance. The glamour of ministry can blind us, it really can. We get caught up with the applause, the accolades, the approval. Oh yeah, we can preach that it doesn't affect us, but it does. And if attention is lacking at home, we seek attention elsewhere, no matter how anointed we are, no matter how much God uses us.

But when the lights are off, the power shuts down, and the folks are gone, we have to deal with reality. The umph of ministry is not with us when we are home alone and our spouse is off ministering to someone else. The umph of ministry is not there when we need our spouse to help us with the kids, when we just plain miss our spouse.

Preachers, male and female, take care of the home front. Your first ministry is NOT the church, it is your family.

Take care of your marriages. Husbands, love your wives. Wives, respect your husbands.

If our families are jacked up, then the churches are jacked up.

CLARION CALL FOR THE LADIES!!!!!!

God is an AWESOME God!

The only wise God!

Omnipotent, Sovereign God!!!!!

I giving out a clarion call! Ladies, God is calling you. You are going thru hell and high water, but in the midst of the hurricane, God is calling!

Get sensitive to the Spirit and hear what thus saith the Lord!

What God has placed in you is so special! So wonderful! So powerful!

My last three posts or so have all been leading to this one, girls.

If this post is causing you baby to leap and it bears witness in you, you need to heed the call.

With the clarion call comes responsibility. This means relationships, alliances, associations and friendships must go. You know what they are, who they are with.

I don't just speak of alliances...I am not talking about just with man. Churches, groups, jobs, families, anything that you are so tied to that you cannot see God.

Your allegiance is not to man, or a church, or a group anyways, it is to GOD!

I preached a word last week, 'R U a tree?' To God be the Glory...what God asked is no matter what storm blows in our lives, can we still be found standing in God? Psalms 1 was the text scripture...if you read that scripture, you will see God says if we don't walk in the counsel of the ungodly, sit in the seat of the scornful, translation--put up with FOOLISHNESS, then you qualify to be called a tree in the kindgom of God.

See, there are many twigs, branches, grass, and flowers in the church. But twigs and branches not attached to a tree are what? DEAD!

Grass withers, as the Word says.

And flowers, as pretty as they are to look at, really serve NO purpose in the ecosystem!

The grass withereth, the flower fadeth....

When you make a stand that you will not put up with foolishness, i.e. homosexuality in the church, people setting people up to fall, not preaching salvation, pastors shacking up, false prophesies = witchcraft, and giving the witches in the church positions and prominence, even making them 1st ladies, then you qualify to be called a TREE, not by man,

BUT BY GOD!!!!!

Ladies, r u a tree? Have you had the guts and courage to be humiliated, talked about, lied upon, mistreated, misunderstood because you wouldn't be a partaker of another man's sin?

Because you stood for truth, at all costs?

Trees are valuable to the ecosystem. They feed many organisms. We get paper, glue and other products from trees. We need trees.

As it is in the natural, so is it in the Spirit.

We need trees in the church. We need women of God who are going to feed the flock. Who will be the pillars of sustenance at least for a season, for the weaker, the younger. Too many so called mothers in the church that abandon the babies, that talk about them, have no compassion on them. That is why the girls are being molested and raped in the church.

That is why the Spirit of Hophni and Phinehas has been allowed to run rampant in the church. No one wants to expose foolishness in the church. Do you know how many women have been wounded in the church, by men?

Pastors lusterating after women in the church, and it isn't that they want that woman so much, but that spirit or lack thereof in them, they covet what God has given us women! And if they can SEDUCE you into giving up your position in God, your anointing, your self respect, your dignity, then they will. Because even if you don't sleep with them, if you get in alliance with that spirit that is lacking, then it will steal your anointing!

It will give you what you think it wants. A license? Marriage? Position? Attention? Flattery?

Watch it, ladies! Watch out for a man, EVEN IF IT IS A PASTOR, who always get in your face and it seems he can only focus on you. He tells you, "You are so great, so anointed, so powerful." That's your daddy!

He ain't supposed to be in your face like that!!!! He is about to molest you in the SPIRIT!!!!!!

Cover yourself, tree! Protect your anointing at ALL costs! The enemy will use something that started out innocent enough, but then the enemy perverts.

It is gonna hurt when you cut them off. But run for your lives! For your anointing! For your ministry!

THIS IS A CLARION CALL FOR THE TREES! THE TREES OF RIGHTEOUSNESS!!!! PLANTED BY THE LORD!!!!

Come out of the foolishness! It may act, talk, sing, preach, dance and speak in tongues like God, but try the Spirit by the Spirit. Pray. God will show you.

Then be obedient and heed to the call!

Peace to you

There's POWER in the blood!!!

We had communion service yesterday. What glorious time in the Lord we had!

During worship, I first saw a river of blood all on the floor of the church! Waves and waves of blood.

I just worshipped and praised God and then I heard Him say, 'Dip seven times in my blood and you will be made whole!'

So just as Naaman dipped in the muddy waters of Jordan seven times and was healed in 2 Kings 5, so was I healed and made whole.

I got on my knees and bowed down seven times.

Seven is the number of completion; I have had deliverances in my past. But as glorious as those deliverances were, it wasn't complete. My deliverance was complete!

Let me tell you something...

God will show you things that may seem strange. God will tell you to do things that are abnormal and make you seem like a plum fool.

But if you obey God, He will deliver. He will take you to another realm in the Spirit. Your obedience will launch you into another dimension. One act of obedience will catapult you to such places in the Spirit that would normally take years for you to do on your own.

Besides...you don't want to do this on your own anyway. You want God to do what must be done in your life!

Not by might, nor by Power, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord.

Hear the voice of God...and then obey it....

Be blessed!

My God is an AWESOME God!

Praise the Lord!

We serve an awesome, AWESOME God!!!!

I have to give my God all the glory for what He has done in my life, in particular in the past few weeks!

The enemy had literally plotted to destroy me and my family. But God has ensured me that NO weapon formed against me or mine shall EVER prosper!

He took me to Isaiah 54 yesterday in between services. The power of God was all over me. I sat in my car in His Presence and He showed me:

Isaiah 54: 6-17<
6 For the LORD hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth, when thou wast refused, saith thy God.

7 For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee.

8 In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer.

Have any of you ever went through something so devastating, so heart wrenching, so horrible, that you felt forsaken of God?

Have you ever been shattered into billions of pieces?

I know in this passage of scripture, God seems to be speaking to a woman. That's what makes it so wonderful.

I'm gonna be real.

I have been rejected on a most intimate level. My marriage broke up. My ministry was misunderstood and scandalized. My name was put out there for evil.

I felt forsaken of God, for real! I said God why you called me, brought me to this level, only to allow these horrible things to take place in my life????

But in spite of it all, God still kept His promise:

9 For this is as the waters of Noah unto me: for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee.

10 For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the LORD that hath mercy on thee.

11 O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will lay thy stones with fair colours, and lay thy foundations with sapphires.

12 And I will make thy windows of agates, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy borders of pleasant stones.

13 And all thy children shall be taught of the LORD; and great shall be the peace of thy children.

God not only keeps His Promise, but He protected my children! And promises to keep them!

14 In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee.

15 Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake.

16 Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy.

17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.

This is SO powerful!

God revealed to me that the weapons the enemy forms against us, the ones who makes the weapon and the ones who use the weapon are all created by God.

This means that no matter what the situation is, no matter what weapon the enemy has formed against you, no matter who is coming against you....

GOD Almighty made the weapon, He made the one using the weapon and the one who created the weapon!

You know what that means????

GOD IS IN TOTAL CONTROL!!!!!!!!

God is in total control of the attack! At any given moment and time during of the attack, God can stop the attack. God can disseminate the enemy at any time. He can speak to the storm and command the winds and waves to cease. He can stop the enemy at any time.

Why won't He?

Because He is gonna get the glory out of this!

God trust you with the trial, the attack. Be honored that He does. No that the weapon cannot, will not work against you.

Trust God to take you out on top, with the victory!

I love the Lord!

Because I know He has my back!

Be blessed in God!
