Premature Death: Another Plague of the Institutional Church

This is Joy Mifflin.  She was a popular 'evangelist' who passed on yesterday of cancer.

This video was taken in 2010.

Mifflin had just tweeted at the beginning of October encouraging many to tune into the 2012 Presidential Debates, and sending her love to her 'pastor,' Pastor Sheryl Brady from the Jakes Affiliation.

A little over a month later, Joy was on life support/respirator, and taken off...only to die on November 9.

She was 33 years old.

She lost a 7 year battle to breast cancer.

Sobering.

Prayer requests were petitioned on her behalf as she lay on life support the day before she passed, asking God to heal and restore her.

This reminds me of another story of a young woman who received 'prayer' for healing and died soon thereafter...the late wife of gospel artist Marvin Sapp, Dr. MaLinda Sapp.

After her husband requested around-the-clock prayer for his wife, who was battling colon cancer, she succumbed in September 2010 to the debilitating disease.

A few weeks before in August 2010, Marvin Sapp had requested prayer for MaLinda, who was diagnosed with colon cancer the year before but was declared 'cancer-free' by doctors earlier that year.  Apparently, the cancer had come back.

MaLinda died at 45 years old.

Dontavies Boatwright was a finalist on the popular gospel contest show, Sunday's Best. He went on to record an album, become a radio announcer, and preached at several venues.  He died of a heart attack yesterday as well, at the age of 33.

(I want yall to notice that he was an avid tongue speaker in the above video)

And probably the most well-known of these is the late David Wilkerson.  One of the TRUE endtime prophets of this age.

In April 2011, David Wilkerson and his wife Gwen were involved in a car accident that claimed David's life first.

Gwen would die a little over a year later in July of this year, presumably from grief and injuries she sustained in the car crash with a tractor trailer that claimed the life of her beloved husband of 58 years.

She was 81....he was 79.

David Wilkerson was the pastor of Times Square Church, the founder of Teen Challenge Ministry and author of 'The Cross and The Switchblade.'

Another gospel couple who died in like manner as the Wilkersons are the Wrights, the late gospel artist Timothy Wright and his wife Betty and his 14 year old grandson, D.J.

The family was driving home when they were hit head on by a drunk driver.  The crash killed Betty, 58, and D.J. instantly.

Timothy Wright died of his injuries (and probably grief) almost a year later in 2009.  He was 61 years old.

(I was particularly fond of Wright's music, and was saddened to hear of his untimely death and that of his family....)

Rev. Timothy Wright and wife Betty

D.J. Wright, Grandson

I can go on and on....we hear stories of premature death (in the church setting) ALL the time.

No one bothers to say anything about it and automatically conclude that ALL PREMATURE death(s) in the church are the will of God.  We religiously say that it is God's business who He 'decides to take home' and when.

And while I can wholeheartedly agree that only God knows when our time is up, NO ONE can make me believe that EVERY death is God's will.

There is something going on here!

I want to share something with you that my mentor, Pamela Sheppard, made me realize.

The religious demon LOVES to mock those who are within its 'jurisdiction,' if you will.

The religious demon loves to cause 'accidents,' diseases, and the such that will take out REAL believers.

There are some things that are NOT supposed to happen.  Like that guy in Creflo's church who was praying at the altar and was gunned down!

How can ANYONE make that right?  How can anyone explain that away, saying it was the 'will of God' for this man to be shot to death...WHILE HE WAS PRAYING?  TO OUR GOD????

That makes absolutely NO sense to me!

Gregory McDowell

39 year old McDowell took 5 bullets while praying to God....while sitting in a church!  He was in the production department and in maintenance at famous megachurch World Changers International of College Park, GA, pastored by Creflo Dollar.  The shooter was a former maintenance worker of WCCI.

There is still no motive for the shooting at this time.

Does anyone else here see a trend?

It seems to me that premature death is fast becoming yet another plague that is plaguing the organized church, just like premature death took the firstborn in Egypt after GOD released the 10 plagues as judgment against Pharaoh and the Egyptians' disobedience.

I also want to make it known that most of these people were tongue talkers!

We have written before on how the enemy uses tongues to release curses upon themselves and the ones they love...without even realizing it!

All those prayer requests requesting prayer, from TONGUE TALKERS?

Let me share something with you:  I am not of the crew that speaks ill of people who don't know any better.  And having come out of that crowd of pentecostals/charismatics, I understand ALL TOO WELL the error they operate in.  I understand the love affair and deception that is latent in the doctrines of speaking in tongues.  I understand how people can hold on to that doctrine for dear life, even when it hasn't produced any (lasting) fruit, and caused illness, calamity, sickness and in some cases, even premature death!

But it will take the Spirit of the Living God to reveal this to many.

I won't say you should come out of the church.  You need to hear that from GOD for yourself.

But I will say this much:

Recognize what is going on around you and do NOT ignore those tiny urgings from the Spirit of God when HE warns you about things, or people, or groups, or churches, or affiliations. If GOD tells you to hold off on the tongues, DO IT!

In THIS season, it can literally be a matter of life, or death.

The LGBT Agenda Would STILL Move Fwd...No Matter WHO's President!

In the aftermath of probably one of the most controversial Presidential elections ever, we are faced with watching this nation divide itself over issues.  The division began long before now; its just that now the division has manifested right before all of our eyes.

And that spirit of division began RIGHT in the organized church system!

And, as the title says above, the LGBT agenda would continue no matter WHO was elected into the Oval Office.

Why?

Because the wheels that set that agenda in motion began WAY before Obama was first elected President 4 years ago.

See what the majority of people FAIL to realize is that if you want to impact a society-whether for good or for evil-you must influence the religious culture of a people. AND to infiltrate the educational institutions, to help a people learn (or relearn) values and belief systems.

And since most of society IS religious-even atheism and satanism are religions, what better way to impact a nation than to infiltrate its religious institutions.

Also, there is an ever-increasing tendency towards forwarding one's education.  Which in and of itself is NOT a bad thing.

IF that education is GOD-based.

But the problem with MOST educational institutions today is that they are NOT God-centered, but MAN centered.

And that has been happening for over 100 years.  Perhaps longer.  How?

In military strategy, any good soldier or general knows that the best mode of attack is multi-faceted.  You can't just come at an enemy ONE way:  if the objective of battle or war is to win, then the more strategies that are created, the more plans of attack that are instituted for the sole purpose of annihilating the enemy, the more likely it is to defeat and takeover your enemy.

Satan has had this in the works for YEARS.  Most right-winged 'christians' are not aware of this.  They have been lulled to sleep by religion and the FAKE Jesus for such a long time, that they are JUST starting to wake up to the realization that a takeover is imminent.

So just like an ill-prepared soldier or platoon, who didn't plan for attack, or were not made aware of the stategies plotted against them, they are in defensive mode, which almost always means defeat.

The best way to prepare (for battle) is not to react to an attack, but to PREPARE for one.

And this is not possible WITHOUT HELP OF THE HOLY GHOST!  The Lord ALWAYS prepares HIS PEOPLE for attack.  Read your bible!

He will always tell you when the enemy is going to attack, how he is going to attack, and who he is going to use.

If you are NOT in tune with the HOLY GHOST-or cannot hear from God FOR YOURSELF-than you are open to attack.

God has been telling HIS REMNANT FOR YEARS about this.

He has been showing The Remnant of the demonic (religious) infiltration of THE TRUE CHURCH for over a century.

The Catholic Church is the bedrock of the church, the template, if you will, of all mainstream, western religion.  Most protestant churches use the catholic church as a template of how church is supposed to be.

In the Catholic Church, priests have been 'turning out' little altar boys for decades...in silence.  Then those young boys grow up to 'come out of the closet.'

Then its become prevalent amongst so-called 'Protestant religions.' This trend towards preachers turning out young men in the churches.

Couple that with the tide in the educational arena towards humanism, and the ungodly influence is strengthened-in AND out of the church!

I say all that to say this...

Watch the video above.  I couldn't look at 1 minute of it.  I heard of this 'couple' this morning while stumbling out of bed and turning on the remote like many people do.

I couldn't believe my eyes!

As I watched the documentary on 'Jason and deMarco,' it became more apparent to me that the LGBT agenda would ultimately move forward-no matter WHO is president.

Jason and deMarco: Christian Music Artists????

Many 'christians' did not vote for Obama because he supports LGBT marriages.  Now, I know Romney said he did not.  But what many fail to understand is that the LGBT train has been in motion for MANY years.  And it has gained so much speed and momentum that NO president would be able to stop it....EVEN IF THEY OPENLY SAID THEY WOULD!!!!

Didn't Bush (BOTH OF THEM, BTW) say they would attempt to stop the LGBT train?

After all that both father and son Bush tried to do in office, it looks like to me the LGBT agenda is STILL moving forward!

Why is that?

The answer is manifold.

1) The LGBT agenda BEGAN in the INSTITUTIONAL CHURCH!  Acceptance of it began when it was allowed for grown men molest boys and introduce homosexuality into the innocent lives of these boys.  AND then covered up by the Vatican and local parishes.

2) The LGBT agenda was furthered by it being taught in the schools.

3)  The Kinsey report on sexuality helped to further the LGBT.  (Google it or watch THIS video on how children were molested solely for the purpose of sexual study!) This study that was conducted starting in the 1940s sparked the so-called 'Sexual Revolution.'

4) That 'report' was then used as a template in educational systems to teach a generation of young people about 'their sexuality.'  It opened the door to the widespread acceptance of pornography, promiscuity, homosexuality, lesbianism and all kinds of errant sexual behaviors and lifestyles. (Not that it wasn't occurring BEFORE the release of the report.  We all know that it was.  But it was NOT widely accepted and taught as the NORM in any society before then. )

5) Once the sexual revolution was taught in our colleges, it spread like wildfire.  You want to impact a people, infiltrate their religious AND educational systems!!!!

Those forces set into motion to promote the LGBT agenda were done so when Obama was not EVEN BORN YET!!!  He wasn't born until 1961.  By then, the sexual revolution was already set in motion for over 20 years!

Lenient, tolerant mindsets of abnormal, unethical sexual behavior began LONG before the 1960s.  We all like to point to the 60s because that is when all the behaviors started manifesting in society.  But you have to understand that LONG before something manifests, it has been 'started,' per se...sometimes, many times, YEARS before!

So, Romney was not going to have enough 'juice,' power or support from the religious right to change that tide.  If Romney was voted into office, every attempt he would have made to enable the religious right's agenda to annihilate the acceptance of LGBT community would have been counter-attacked and plundered.

Why?

Because it is too entrenched into the religious and educational cultures of our society!

I mean, just look at the video above!

So its time we stop being so divisive and arguing moot points.

IT does no one any good!

The Dangers of Not Being THANKFUL

When we were all little kids, (hopefully) our parents taught us to say 'Please' and 'Thank you.'

It was taught to us as a part of being mannerable.  It's just good social etiquette to say 'Thank you' after someone has done soemething for you or given something to you.

But being thankful doesn't just stop there...at good manners.  Being thankful is a biblical principle that protects us from spiritual deceit, corruption and error.

Being thankful to God does...

I want you to read Romans 1.  Study it.  Read it again.  As I read it again this morning, the scriptures seemed to jump out from the page at me...

Romans 1:17

The Just shall live by FAITH....

If the just lives by faith, this means that they do NOT worry or fret over how their bills are going to get paid.  They do NOT covet after the riches of another.  They don't work 8 jobs to keep up with the Joneses.  They may have a job, or they may not...but one thing IS for sure...they live BY FAITH.

If more people understood that biblical principle, then the error of the prosperity doctrine would spread no further.  Replete among the followers and purveyors of the prosperity message are people who simply LACK FAITH IN GOD.  They covet after the riches and possessions of another.  And they are NOT thankful FOR WHAT THEY HAVE!

They are greedy.  Never satisfied...and certainly not thankful.  Not to God...and probably not to their fellow man, either.

There is a danger in not being thankful.  It's not just it offends God.  But being unthankful is breeding ground for covetousness and seducing spirits to come in and cause one to err 'from the faith.'

When we begin to trust in the arm of flesh-ours or anyone else's-to provide for our needs, instead trusting God implicitly, then we start placing debt, lack, poverty and our not having certain things (even if those things are necessities) on a pedestal, of sorts.  The debt, the lack, the poverty...they all become IDOLS in our lives...that replace the POWER and PROVISION OF GOD.  We place pre-eminence on our lack instead of faith in our God to provide EVERY NEED that we have...

Once this happens, a domino effect takes place.  What starts out as idolatry and lack of faith starts to grow into not SEEING GOD as God in our lives.

Romans 1:21-23

Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were THANKFUL; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.  Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,  And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

When we place our lack, debt, poverty and the such above God in our lives, that thing has become an idol in our lives.  God is taken off the throne and our lack, debt, poverty takes its place.  And how do we worship the gods of lack, debt, and poverty?

By trusting in the arm of FLESH to provide.  By making up doctrines and teachings that will help us feel 'empowered' to prosper.  Admit it: there is a certain helplessness that comes with lack.  Most people HATE it.  And will do ANYTHING to avoid feeling helpless.

The downfall of many a man has been that the enemy KNOWS that it is in the innate nature of a man to provide for his family.  When this ability is hindered or taken away, this emasculates the man...and many men will do just about anything to provide for their families.

Many of the mega preachers that are so heavily-revered sold out to the god of mammon...they began 'ministry' in lack, debt, poverty. Listen to their testimonies of being in poverty.  Shaking roaches out of their clothes.  Living in houses with the utilities cut off.  Wearing the same clothes to church over and over again.  Being homeless.

And now they are flying in private jets and living in homes that most would only dream of!

But there was a price that was paid for that fortune, and it wasn't merely the check they signed over to the realtor when they bought the homes.

The very gospel that they now preach and teach is tainted with error.  It makes gods out of temporary circumstances and gets people to trust in formulas and methods and NOT in God.

Look what happens when we do that:

Romans 1:24-25

Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:  

Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshiped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

When we start trusting in the arm of flesh and NOT in God, then we start worshiping just that....FLESH.

When you finish reading the first chapter of Romans, you will see that the rise in sexual (and spiritual) perversion has its roots in not recognizing God as God, and NOT BEING THANKFUL.

This is the chapter that goes into the rampant homosexuality and lesbianism that is promised in these times.

And to imagine---it all began with just not being thankful!

The old song used to go like this:

"Count your blessings, name them one by one, count your blessings, see what the Lord has done!  Count your blessings, name them one by one....Count your many blessings!  See what the Lord has done!"

There IS a danger in NOT being thankful.

The enemy knows in these uncertain (economic) times that many will be vulnerable to fall prey to error, particularly in this area.  Falling for the prosperity message keeps one in a constant state of covetousness, all in the guise of appearing to walk in faith for the things that you don't have...all the while you are missing the blessing of enjoying what you DO have.

God has been really, really good to America.  We need not forget that....what does the Word say?

Psalm 9:17
The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.

'Christian Wicca: It IS a Religion!'

From September 2011

When we hear the word 'Wicca,' we associate it immediately with the art or religion of witchcraft.

Wicca has been described as a religion that affords its followers the freedom and liberty to use spells, incantations, chantings, and corporate prayer to bring about healing.  Healing of what is termed 'Mother Earth,' healing of individuals' bodies from ailments and diseases, as well as the healing of nature itself.

Wiccans also celebrate festivals-eight of them per year-that are called 'sabbats.'  They believe there is a god and a goddess.  They believe that the Trinity is a goddess.  Wiccans started getting popular in the late 1950s, but their foundations were set long before then.  As early as the early 1900s, witchcraft and New Age practices were being openly practiced in other countries.

Wicca was brought about primarily for the purpose of turning the stereotypical tide of how witchcraft was generally perceived.  Due to the Witch hunts of the past, and subsequent persecutions and even executions of alleged and proven witches (i.e. Salem Witch Hunts in Massachusetts), society had succeeded in making the general public afraid of witches and witchcraft.

What Wicca's purpose was was to show the world that witches mean 'no harm' and want to help people, the earth.  Hence the terms 'good witch' and 'good witchcraft' that would be adopted later on in the 20th century.

I was quite shocked to discover that 1) Wicca is now recognized as a viable 'religion,' and 2) that there is a sect of Wiccans who call themselves 'Christians' or 'Trinitarian Wiccans!'

One has to question...How is it possible to combine teachings of Wicca and Christianity?

Christian, or Trinitarian Wiccans also believe that Jesus Christ existed, that He was a prophet and a teacher.  They attempt to follow 'some' Christian teachings, but by virtue of the very essence of Wicca, they cannot because it will require for them to reject some of the very things that makes them Wiccan.

Hence the term-and new sect of Wicca-that is now known as Trinitarian, or Christian, Wicca!

This is nothing more than another classic example of mixing two religions and coming up with yet another concoction, a new set of belief systems, and recruiting followers in which to label them as such.

What caught my attention about this new sect is the fact that these are witches who are open about their agenda....and have no problem being associated with beliefs in Christianity!

But I also want to point out that SOME of these Trinitarian Wiccans possibly have infiltrated the organized church system and have brought in with them a whole new array of deceit, error, and false doctrine.

This would explain all of the false doctrine and error that is latent in a lot of sermons across church pulpits.

The way that this has been able to happen is because one of the prominent characteristics of Wiccans is that they desire to do good.  Their desire (their worship) of earth and THIS life.  Their desire to see others healed, at any cost.  Their general acceptance and practice of the supernatural.

These are all characteristics that have been accepted into the organized church system.

Due to the lack of GODLY GENUINE POWER (because God is no longer in the churches), church people generally have-out of desperation-accepted ANY FORM of power to step in, so it can appear that God is still there...

2 Timothy 3:4-6

Traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.  For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts...

(I also think it ironic that we call male witches 'warlocks.'   A main student of probably the most famous witch in this country, Laurie Cabot, clarifies that a warlock is not a male witch; the term warlock means 'traitor.' So generally speaking, male witches like to call themselves witches as well).

Interesting...

But anyway, the lack of power in the organized church system has brought about an amalgamation-a mixture, a merger of sorts-an acceptance of the merger of the clean and the unclean.  The vile with the holy.

And along with these mergers (for trust, there are many more such 'mergers' going on with mainstream christianity i.e. Crislam) is the trend towards what is termed as 'religious tolerance.'

Tolerance is one of the ways the enemy has been able to slowly but surely infiltrate popular thinking-in and out of the church system.  To tolerate something is to give it acceptance.  To not call something evil, that IS inherently evil.  To not call wrong wrong.

The Word of God tells us often to shun evil, and cleave to that which is good.  We are not to embrace evil, even as a means to attain good.

The organized church system has embraced evil, to do good, and given full access to pulpits across this country to witches.

Some of these witches are very popular.  Most of them most would not label or term them as witches, per se, because they are blinded to the very characteristics of witches, Wicca and religion in general.

As long as they can produce-produce that healing, produce that deliverance, produce that answer to prayer-that is what most people are concerned with...no matter at what cost.

I saw something very interesting on TV today:  I saw a Wiccan prayer service.  They were singing, chanting (in English, by the way), they were calling upon the gods and goddesses.  They were praying for someone's healing.  They chanted 'Blessings!  Blessings!'  Then they clapped and were dismissed.

Looked just like one of those 'prayer meetings' I used to attend when I went to church.  MORE than one!

REAL believers-those who have not allowed themselves to tolerate or fall for the mixture(s) of doctrines and belief systems that are so popular today-must NOT 'tolerate' mixtures of christianity in the guise of showing the world we are viable, relevant, produce results or productive.  Or tolerant.

If this is not proof positive that one needs to come out and be separate, I don't know what is.

I don’t blame you, Gina and Andrea...(for the Hunt and Yarrell families)

I don't blame you on what happened to you. I look at the pictures of who you and your babies were and as you lie in your caskets and I know you cannot hear me.

But if you do, I, Wenona, don't blame you for what happened to you.

Society does. They don't understand your plight, your desparation. When you would look in your babies eyes and knew they were hungry, you had to feed your babies.

When you saw their feet and saw holes in their shoes, your heart would wrench and you determined to get them shoes.

When you almost evicted and had to come up with rent, you grew desperate. You wouldn't bring your babies to live in a shelter, Andrea. You working as a clerk in DCS saw what happened to mothers who couldn't properly house their babies; they'd lost them to the system. Undoubtedly, working for the state you didn't make a lot of money. I have worked for the state, too. The wages are laughable.

Yet, rent, utilities, gas, food, diapers, living expenses continue to rise. Your man is in jail and you gotta do what you gotta do. We don't choose who we fall in love with. You didn't know about his shady dealings until you had already given him your heart and your body...

Now, you gotta baby.

You had family that tried to look out for you. But they aren't rich; and you want to be independent. You see the strain it was on your family to keep helping you.

So your girl, Gina, came into your life. She was fun, down, cool. Like a sister. You guys look alike in the caskets as a matter of fact.

You both connect because you both were going through the same stages of life, with the same struggles.

Gina reassured you that no one would do anything because there were babies in the house. And she was smooth. Or so she thought....

Her only mistake was trusting that snake, Ronald. The one who pulled the trigger.

You guys underestimated this jigga.

You thought since he was ordained to preach in prison and fooled the judges and the system into letting him out, that he could be played.

Yes, you thought 'Surely, he used be a preacher. He won't hurt us. He won't miss this little stuff. He is forgiving. He is harmless.'

But you failed to realize that anyone is capable of anything. He had demons tormenting him, plaguing his mind, body and soul. They came back after he renounced his faith in God.

One thing is for sure....renounce your faith in the church. Renounce your faith in religion. They are both shaky and faulty, true that.

BUT NEVER RENOUNCE YOUR FAITH IN GOD!!!!

That was Ron's mistake. He renounced his faith in God, so God had to give him up to a reprobate mind. He had to let the demons torment him.

Torment him so until all lines between right and wrong were gone. Til he no longer has a conscious. Til he is driven by pure hatred and evil.....

Girls, you didn't know. You went to church as little girls. I believe one of you went to an Apostolic Church at one time. But life circumstances overtook you and you lost your faith. Got hooked up with the wrong jiggas...

Then left with those beautiful babies!


I understand. Trust me I do. I am a single mom out here in Post Katrina N.O. trying to make it.

I'm a be real. I had opportunity to deal like that. Of course, I was blind to what was going on around me. But when God shone the light, I couldn't.

I just couldn't promote a business that is in the business of doing things like what was done to you.

I want to provide for my kids, and I do believe God is Jehovan Jireh! He is a Provider!

But I see you and your precious babies in those caskets with tears in my eyes.

I hate what was done to you. To those babies. Ronald will be tormented longer, forever, if he does not repent.

But I suspect he wants to die. He cannot believe he has sunk so low.

Ladies, thank q!

Because you are speaking to thousands of young (and middle aged) poor women in this country....even from your graves!!!!!

To the families of these precious, I cannot imagine your pain. Your grief. Your anguish at this moment.

But I do hear their blood crying. I do know they are happy. TO that Dad, Andrea's dad, Andrea was a good girl. She didn't want to bother you anymore. She was so grateful you helped her and that angel. She just wanted to try to make it on her on.

To the family of Gina. I suspect you are Apostolic. I know you all had a homegoing service for her and that handsome prince she had. You all know what happens after death.

I pray you use their deaths to minister to the young people in your community.

Let's not forget Gina, Andrea, and little Jordan and Charlii.

To the govenment. Shame on you. You pay workers slave wages and expect them to be able to take care of their families! And act shocked that some of your employees have to resort to criminal activity to feed their families!

Then you claim to be an agency that looks out for children! For shame!

To the dealers. I know some of you just cold hearted and don't give a damn. Life means nothing to you, no matter the age. It is all about the benjamins, the high and the power.

There is a hell awaiting you after you live hell on earth...

But to those of you who deal because you feel like you have no other alterative....

You do!

Look?! That could be a picture of you and your loved ones being buried! Trust God to supply your needs. I address this in particular to single mothers!!!!!

To the churches. I am not impressed at who can shout the house down. I am not impressed at who can riff and run folks down the aisles. I am not impressed at the grand cathedrals that houses thousands every Sunday. I am not impressed at how many you baptize, get to speak in tongues, or ordain to preach. Ronald (the alleged killer) was ordained, too.

I AM impressed when I see you out in the community stopping senseless bull like this! No doubt within a five mile radius of this senseless tragedy there is megachurch, or at the very least a church, nearby.

Why have church and the church does not impact or affect the community?????????

Jesus left out of the synagogues to minister to the masses. This is a shame. We got all this power. When are we going to use it to help out people?

To the police in Indy. Thank you for being SO vigilant about bringing these folks to justice. I pray the justice system will be swift and harsh with their punishment to these young men.

Gina, Andrea, Jordan, and Charlii, I won't forget you. I will never forget the above pictures as long as I live.

Your living truly was not in vain!!!!!

God Bless!

World AIDS Day!

My God!

He is so awesome! He is so amazing! He loves us so much!

I just praise God for His infinite, never ending mercies towards me.

Today is World AIDS Day.

And I am so awed by the handiwork and protection of God.

I pray for those who are being afflicted with HIV and AIDS. God is there for you and He does love you.

I don't why you have this. In all reality, I should be where you are. I gave my body out recklessly without restraint. Yes. I am admitting. Ever since my uncle took pictures of me naked at 11 and 12 years old and told me how beautiful I was, I always thought my worth was in how much I can project sexuality and sensuality.

He transmitted a strong spirit of perversion and lust in me. It is what drove me into the hotel rooms, lusting after men...and women.

It is what kept me in relationships I knew I needed to run from.

It is what had me seeking to do porn. God's Hand was in that and kept me from it.

But God kept me from diseases. I didn't do it and you know the negroes didn't care about me.

God cared.

So I don't know why I was spared, and you weren't.

I know people can live with HIV and AIDS. And I pray that those who are afflicted God will save, first and foremost, heal and deliver.

But I can tell you that even with the sores cropping up on your body. Even when you are so tired and every muscle in your body hurts.

Even when you feel like you are going to lose your mind.

Even when those around you reject you and are scared to be close or intimate with you.

Even though you are condemned by man and the church.

Know God is on your side. Even if you don't want God.

He wants YOU!!!!

He wants you to be saved, to be delivered, to be set free from homosexuality and perversion, promiscuity.

He has done it for others and He will do it for you.

God will keep you with the AIDS. With your HIV. With the sickness. With the low T-cell count.

With the pneumonia. With the cancer.

I have no answers as to why. I just know God loves you.

And I don't judge you. I apologize on the behalf of those in the church who handled you wrong, cuz they didn't know how to minister to your special needs.

I have even handled some wrong with HIV. But God is so good to me, and He has mandated on my life, to whom MUCH is given, MUCH is required.

I can't hold anyone responsible and anything over anyone when God has been so merciful to me.

And because He has been so merciful to me, I am obligated to extend that mercy to you.

To whom MUCH is given, MUCH is required!

Use your life to speak out against sexual perversion, lust, promiscuity and lack of knowledge about sexuality.

God is with you.

Be Blessed in Jesus' name

Where is the church???

Greetings to you!

I haven't posted anything 4 a minute. Just been really busy.

I have had this on my mind for a long time. And I would like to hear what you all think.

Where is the church?

I have been saved and in church for almost 20 years. I have seen some pretty incredible things, some glorious things. I have seen miracles performed, souls saved and delivered, bodies healed, storms turned around.

I have seen God do some awesome things!

And I regret to say that I have seen the worst of folks, church folks that is. I have seen lies, deception, perversion, agendas, foolishness, crime--you name it I have seen it.

It breaks my heart. I know we live in a wicked time. We live in the last days. And souls need to be saved.

But my greatest fear is to go and get a soul and bring them into something that would, as Jesus say, make them the twofold child of hell than they were in the clubs, or the crackhouse or on their knees in front of some man.

Yes, I said it.

My fear is that I would bring someone to church and they would be so happy, at first. They would be zealous for God and hungry for the things of God.

Then they get around religious spirits, deceptive spirits, wolves in sheeps clothing, rapist and perverts, homos in the church and meet the same stuff in the church that was in the world.

I wonder--God forgive me--if those souls are better off where they are? God can save and deliver anyone from anything.

It isn't God I doubt. It is man.

And the church is full of man. Flesh. I speak of not one particular church. I speak collectively, the B.O.C., or the Body of Christ.

People worship other folks, and fall when they fall. They doubt the reality of God when stinking rotten flesh fails. Flesh will fail, folks. Face it.

I DON'T CARE HOW ANOINTED THEY ARE....they are robed in flesh.

Someone said something to me that I will always carry with me.

This thing isn't about man, it is about God.

That is why I cling to no man, if he ain't my husband. No man!

Preachers are flesh, people. Look around, they are all messing up. Doing crazy things.

If your eyes are on me, or any other flesh, you will fail. You will fall. You will doubt God.

Don't do that.

Keep your eyes on Jesus. Because the church is jacked up. It is nowhere where it should be.

Religion, personal agendas, crazy folks, it is all in the church.

If you wanna be saved, stay at home and get to know God for yourself!

Pray, fast, read your Word. Shut folks out. Cuz they are crazy anyways!

Hear what God has to say.

God and the church are on two different planes....

Beware!!!!

Why stop at DELIVERANCE????

Greetings to you in the name of Jesus Christ!

God gave me a revelation a few weeks ago and I nearly drove off the road! It was that powerful!


With God ALL things are possible!!!

But the word God gave me was how there are so many churches that are opened up just based upon deliverance alone. People stop at deliverance. They get so caught up in deliverance, in healing, in prosperity. They don't realize that it doesn't end there.

When the Israelites were in bondage in Eygpt, it is safe to say they were not in the will of God. For many many years, they cried out to God for deliverance. He finally got tired of hearing His children being caught up in bondage that He sent a deliverer, Moses.

Now we all know what a mighty deliverance God wrought for the Israelites!

The signs and wonders that God manifested in that period of the Israelites was awesome!

The ten plagues, the parting of the Red Sea, His provision in the wilderness....

But how many of you know that the Red sea, the wilderness, the provision was not the end of what God intended for the Israelites!

But they got satisfied with the deliverance. With the signs and wonders. With lifting people up instead of the Promise.

Why did God deliver them? To get them to the Promise!!!!

To SAVE THEM!

But because they got satisfied with the signs and wonders and seeing God provide. With seeing Gods glory shine on Moses' face instead of getting in the glory for themselves so that THEIR faces can shine.

They got scared to enter in to what God had for them, so they sent Moses in to speak for them, intercede for them.

When God wanted THEM to enter in!

God gives us the PROMISE of salvation.

What promise?

No matter what a great deliverance God has wrought in your life, if you just stop there, you may be missing salvation. You may miss out on what God wants to do in you.

There was an end to why God delivered the Israelites. Not just so they can be comfortable, or they could go around strutting and braggin on the deliverance. Yes, glorify God for it.

He didn't deliver them so they can go out and start a ministry in the wilderness!!!!!

WOW! That would preach, y'all!

No.

Moses had a ministry in the wilderness. God's glory fell. His face shone with it.

God used Moses to do many things.

But as mightily as Moses was used, that wasn't then end of it. That wasn't the intention of God...just so a man could be lifted up.

That is part of the reason I believe God allowed Moses to die in the wilderness. Because folks started lifting him up and not lifting up God.

As many wonderful works God wrought in the wilderness, the Israelites still did what they wanted to do. They still whored after other gods. They still were rebellious and disobedient.

Even those in leadership were knuckle heads! Remember Aaron and Miriam? Aaron made other gods and Miriam leprosy.

Many died in the wilderness. Why?

No, not because of what we think. But because they all lost focus on what the whole thing was about which is God getting His people to the Promise.

They took 40 years to go somewhere I heard shouldnt have taken that long.

This is what can happen when we lift up flesh and not JESUS!


And they'd get to the promise not of deliverance, healing, prosperity, not even ministry...BUT SALVATION!!!!

God delivered the Israelites because God loves us. And it is His will that NONE would perish but that ALL would come to repentance.

And if He hadn't delivered them, they would have died out in Eygpt. And there would be no hope for salvation for any of us then.

No Israelites, no Jesus.

No Jesus, no salvation for us.

God has a plan.

If God has delivered you, yes, I encourage you to praise God for it. Be thankful.

But don't go start a ministry because you got a little tingle, a deliverance. You may not have the goods to help someone else....yet...

And you being presumptious and zealous and stepping out before God may cause the faith of someone else to be shipwrecked.

You don't want that blood on your hands....

Continue to seek God. Be sensitive to His voice and allow Him to continuously lead you into HIS plan for your life.

Trust me, it is much better than our plan...

His plan will bring salvation. Our plan will bring comfort.

His plan will lead unto eternal security. Our plan will ease our conscious temporarily.

Don't stop at deliverance. Go onto what God has ordained for you...which is ultimately your soul being SAVED!!!!!

Peace and love to you!

ALL SOULS ARE MINE!!!

Ezekiel 18:4, 23

Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine.

Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD: and not that he should return from his ways, and live?

I was riding down the street and God brought this scripture in my belly.

'ALL SOULS ARE MINE!'

I have been a part of many churches. I have been in leadership and I have noticed a spirit that I believe grieves the heart of God.

It is a spirit that makes leaders/pastors, etc. believe that the sheep God has entrusted to HIS care belongs to them!

Why do I say that?

Because these pastors 'claims' these souls for their church before they even come to their church. Then when they come he/she won't let them go.

What some leaders must understand that God may use you to minister to these souls. You may fast and cry and pray for them. You labor with them long. You rebuke and build up.

You consider yourself their spiritual mother or father.

But after God is done using you to bring that sheep to a place in God, you must be sensitive to the leading of the Holy Ghost when it is time for that sheep to move on.

I know. We hear of church hopping. But realize even this.

God is in charge of that soul.

That soul belongs to GOD, not you!

Even if they are out of the will of God when they leave, because that soul belongs to God, God knows how to lead his sheep.

Now, if you are a shepherd after God's own heart, then expect a great exodus in these last days.

Because People are hungry for God. Not you. Not your choreographed praise and worship. Not lights and cameras. Not hype. Not spiritual gifts.

Not your stale prophesies and stagnant revelations. Not your half truths.

People want to be SAVED!!!!

And you cannot hold the souls of God captive any longer!

So many pastors, ESPECIALLY ones who don't preach true salvation, find it necessary to use scare tactics to get people to stay and submit to their false authority.

It is nothing more than witchcraft and wizardry.
And God says to 'Let my people GO!'

If you aren't gonna teach the people what it really takes to be saved, that's Acts 2:38 salvation, then stop spinning your wheels and let them GO!

Don't make God have to burn your house down, or expose you to let HIS people GO!

Stop power tripping and let the power of the Holy Ghost draw people.

People ain't studdin' your hair, or your suit, or your eloquent words. They ain't studdin the fake praise and choreographed worhsip.

They will get over your testimony. For it is not your testimony that saves us....

It is JESUS testimony that saves us!

You can't take them outta God's hands anyways...

John 10:29
My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.

I will post a word God gave me about deliverance focused ministries.

So many people are so caught up in deliverance only that they miss salvation.

What is the point of deliverance if you die and go to hell??????

Be Blessed in Jesus' name!

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!

Don't let NOTHIN' steal ya praise!

Praise the Lord!!!!!
I am so blessed to be able to give my God the highest praise!!! Hallelujah!!!!!!

You know, it is indeed an honor for any of us to be able to stand in the presence of a Holy God and to praise His Holy Name! To worship Him in the beauty of Holiness!

I don't think we realize just how wonderful it is to be able to bless the wonderful name of Jesus!

We get caught up with the trials of life, problems, distractions. Do you know we can even get distracted with our blessings????

How so?

I see so many in the church today who I believe are pimping God. I know you all have heard that saying. It means folks go to church, make commitments and vows to God not because they love Him or simply for who He is. No.

They try to play God like...."Ok, God. I got this situation I am dealing with. I have this need. If you meet the need, if you fix my problems, if you give me the man, the house, the woman, the car, the ministry, etc. then I will serve You."

And because we serve a God that is faithful to His Word, He honors it. Just like the children of Israel wanted a king and God gave them Saul. Or when they cried out for manna in the wilderness and it was bad...God will give us answers to prayers...

Even if answering those prayers will hurt us.

You see, God know the end from the beginning. He knows that giving us what we want, when we want it, how we want it, will only pacify us but for a moment. It will stop us from crying and throwing a fit. Just like when one of our kids are in the store crying for candy in the register line. How many of us (mothers especially!) are guilty of giving in to our crying babes?

"Oh, alright! Here! Take the candy!"

And who does it end up hurting? Not us, the child. A cavity, an upset stomach, not being able to eat a meal....all are results of giving in to what that child wants.

Well, God does that to us. He knows the man isn't good for us. He knows if we get that job we won't ever be able to go to church. He knows if we get the house the bills will be astronomical. The car may be a lemon after all....Yet, we pout. We try to manipulate God into giving us what we believe is best for us.

And when He does, we have to learn for ourselves why God was nudging at our hearts, telling us that maybe what we are praying and believing Him for is not His perfect will!

Then we got to repent, get back in line, and get into the perfect will of God....

All that when we could have just obeyed that still small voice telling us otherwise......

How did I get off on that tangent????

Anyway!

Blessings we pray for can even serve to be a distraction.

Saints, we can't let nuttin' get in the way of our praising God!!!!!

Absolutely NOTHING!!!!!!!!!

Because stuff happens. Trials come. Persecutions arise. What are we gonna do?

Go around and wimper like a sissy? "God why me? Why has this happened to me???? I try to do the right thing and look what happens????"

Uh, uh!

I thank GOD ALMIGHTY that I have learned that no matter what we got to praise, we MUST praise, as J. Moss sings!

We are commanded to praise YE THE LORD!!!!

I know some shrug their shoulders and say, "She ain't got nuttin', she is just emotional..."

Let me tell ya something....

You weren't there when I almost lost my mind. You weren't there when God saved my life.

You weren't there when He healed me spiritually, mentally, physically, emotionally, and even sexually!

You weren't there when He filled me with His Holy Ghost.

You weren't there after Katrina. You weren't there when I thought I would never see my kids again. You weren't there when I didn't know sometimes where we would live or how we would eat.

You weren't there when my name was put out there for evil, scandalized. You weren't there when I was rejected, by churches, by preachers, by family, by friends.

And all I had to turn to was the Lord.

You weren't there when HE ordained me a prophetess unto the nations, right there in Nita Mae's womb!

You weren't there when the enemy tried to take my life by making me be born three months premature!

You weren't there when I attempted suicide. Or when I was molested and raped. Or when my husband threatened my life and I had to be on the run while I was five months pregnant.

You weren't there when I felt a lump in my breast and God healed me.

You weren't there when I prayed THRU a stroke, BABY!

You weren't there when the man I loved asked me to leave my home...because he was intimidated by the call and the anointing that rests upon my life.

You weren't there when God called me by my name August 21, 1969 in the wee hours of the morning and told me to come forth.....because He was ordaining me. And because He was ordaining me, God promised me-NO WEAPON ON EARTH OR IN THE AIR THAT IS FORMED AGAINST ME SHALL EVER, EVER PROSPER!

So because you weren't there...you have absolutely nuttin' to say about me praising my God!

As a matter of fact, the only reason you cannot praise Him is because you don't believe in Him. You don't trust Him. You trust your intellect. Your connections. Your networking.

You don't know God.

You trust religion. Men. Money.

All of that is coming down. And the only things we are going to have to stand on in these last days are God's Word and His Praise!

And we MUST pray!

We are in warfare, as I stated in the last blog.

Prayer, praise and the Word....those are our weapons.
Do you know the weapons of your enemy?????
I think I will make that the title of my next blog!

I love you all!

Be blessed in the Lord.....

That's right, I Still love the Lord!!!!!

Praise God, saints!

God is so awesome, so glorious, so marvelous! I can never thank Him enough not for what He has done or is going to do, but simply for who HE is!

We sing that. But I wonder if we really know who Jesus is????

We sing all the latest praise and worship songs in church or listen to them in our homes or cars. But do we know HIM?

Read Phillipians 3. That is one of the most powerful chapters in the Bible!

Paul starts out by warning believers to beware of 'the concision. Evil workers.' The concision Paul speaks of are those who put much emphasis on the mutilating of the flesh. You see, in those days, circumcision was the thing to do to prove you were really a Christian. Zealous, hungry after God. No doubt these folks were very well versed in the law and very active in the synagogue.

So what's wrong with a few 'religious' folks? They are a little zealous, so what? They are doing it for the Lord, right?

Wrong! Paul called these folks 'dogs!' What would make Paul do such a thing? Was he not one of the concisors back in the day? He was...

5 Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;

6 Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.

Yet in spite of all that, he later on declared that all that stuff, all of his righteousness, was dung. Poop. Mess. Feces. You got it!

God declares that all OUR righteousness are as filthy rags before Him in Isaiah 64:6.

Paul was admonishing us to beware of folks that focus on the FLESH!!!!

We go around saying that sinners focus on the flesh. This is true. They have tunnel vision, per se. They can see nothing else but flesh; their spirit man is dead.

But sinners aren't the ones we need to run from. For our very lives, ya heard!

I speak of religious folks.

And there are religious folks in every denomination! So we can't point to one denomination or another and declare they reek of religiosity by association. No. We discern who they are after the Spirit. The Spirit of God will let us know who to cleave to and and who to run from!

Then Paul after sharing his testimony of how he was so religious, how God made him to know Jesus.

Was it from speaking in tongues? Or from dancing the aisles? Perhaps it was reading the Word more, being an advent studier of the Word....

Was it by associating with 'spiritual' folks? Or maybe becoming more active in the church? You know, an idle mind is the devil's......

NO!!!!

We don't get to know Christ in any of those ways!

How do we get to know Him?

10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;

11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.

We get to an intimate knowledge of who Jesus is when we DIE!!!!!

When our stinking, rotting, deplorable flesh dies to what it wants and craves and yields to the power of God!!!!!!

When we allow ourselves to suffer when we did no wrong w/o retaliation...that is when we are 'conformable to his death....'

Because if we die with Jesus, it is guaranteed that we will be raised up, just as Jesus was!!!!!!

This is why in the midst of my crucifixion, in the midst of my flesh being torn to shreds, in the midst of public humiliation and persecution, I can truly and honestly declare that, as the songwriter sings....

"Go ahead
Drive the nails in my hands
I will rise again
Ain't no power on earth can tie me down...
I will rise again
Just can't keep me in the ground!"

Yes, so I say come on! If this dying is what it is gonna take for me to go to my next level in God, then Go, ahead!!!

But be sure these two things....

One, I STILL love the Lord!!!!!!!

and, Two...

I WILL RISE AGAIN!!!!!!!

With the power and the authority of Almighty God in my hands!

And the devil is gonna regret he ever messed with me!

Cuz this is one who really, really LOVES her God!!!!!!
