THE RESURRECTION OF TONEX!!!!!!

For those of you who don't know who this is, this is Anthony Williams, Jr., f.k.a. Tonex, now known as B. Slade.

To make a really long story short, Tonex was a very successful gospel artist...six Stellar Awards, 2 Grammys, and has produced and written tons of songs not only for himself, but for others.

I don't want to downplay this man's talent.  I have NEVER heard anyone sing like Tonex before!  Plus, the man plays a lot of instruments.  He is VERY talented...and as a music lover, I can honestly say NO ONE IN THE GOSPEL MUSIC INDUSTRY HAS EVEN TOUCHED the level of success that he did when he was on the scene....

But none of us out here in the public knew the struggles he had.  As I watched this video he made as B. Slade, it brought some insight into what kind of background Tonex REALLY had:

There was abuse and molestation in his apostolic upbringing.  And apparently, NO ONE did anything about it.  No one got him the help he needed to deal with that level of pain.  They just kept taking him to church,.

To the very place where the pain was inflicted.  Undoubtedly by someone in leadership in church!

So here goes this young, talented, anointed boy who is introduced to a plethora of emotions, stirrings, desires, and emotions at WAY too young of an age to deal with it...in a healthy manner.

And as is common when abuse happens inside church, everyone shouts and dances and speaks in tongues over it.  NO ONE DEALS WITH THE ISSUES IN CHURCH!

I mean, after all, he is a man.  He could deal with it, right?  He is anointed.  He is a preacher's kid.  So everyone said, 'Anthony will be fine... he's got God.'

And so he grew up, perfected his craft.  Threw himself into it, as a matter of fact.  Its what he slept, ate, lived for....and there is a love for God that I believe was there.

But in the midst of all that he was accomplishing, NO ONE (including himself) were dealing with what was happening ON THE INSIDE.

And we all got to see the culmination of all of that being bottled up inside of him...when he came out the closet three years ago as openly gay.  Changed his name to B. Slade.  ROCKED the church world....

But because church folks simply DO NOT know how to deal with the LGBT community...let alone minister to them, they did what they always do...

They blackmailed him.  They ousted him out of the music industry.  They put him out there....BAD!

This is a song Tonex made in the midst of all that upheavel called 'holy-NESS.'

That whole 'Oak Park' project, as well as 'Unspoken,' was his musical expression of pain...the pain of rejection from former comrades in the ministry and music industry who all but turn their backs on him just because he had the courage to at least COME OUT.

One thing I will say is that I can respect a man who isn't fake, and will be what he believes he is...even if that thing is wrong.  I don't condone the LGBT lifestyle.  I don't make excuses for it.  I think it is dead wrong, and a gross perversion of the TRUE LOVE that God gives us to share.  We CAN help who we love!

But that's another blog for another day....

I respect that Williams didn't do like SOOOO many of these preachers in the church do...they either molest and rape children, give women AIDS or go on the DL....No.

Williams didn't do that.  He said, 'Hey, this is what I am.  This is what I like...'  I can respect a person who won't LIE about his desires, preferences and lifestyle.

The problem is that SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO many in ministry and the gospel music industry are on the down low...they HAD to throw stones at Tonex to deflect attention from themselves!

And I believe THAT"S what hurt Tonex even more.

No, I don't have proof, but I wouldn't be surprised if the very ones who threw the biggest stones at him were not secretly calling and texting him in the middle of the night for a nightcap!

THAT IS WHAT WE HAVE GOING ON IN THE MINISTRY NOW!!!!!!!

So I write this to send some love to the artist formerly known as TONEX.

Man, I MISS YOU.  I MISS YOUR MUSIC, YOUR PREACHING.  YOU WERE REAL.  I'M SORRY THEY DID THAT TO YOU!!!!

AND I AM PRAYING FOR YOU!!!!!!

THE RESURRECTION OF TONEX!!!!!

If you're struggling with your own sexuality, I want to share with you MY OWN PERSONAL STORY of deliverance and TRUE sexual healing.






"Down Low Deliverance: BE SET FREE!" is my own story of how sexual abuse in the church led to my own struggle with my sexuality...and how GOD set me free from sexual bondage and confusion.

Why Isn't Anyone Else Bothered By Iyanla 'Fixing' the Pace Sisters?

"Hurt Feelings During the Healing Process

During the healing process, Iyanla says, there will be moments when the Pace Sisters, gospel singers who've struggled with obesity, feel uncomfortable. After a tense discussion around the dining table, Leslie Pace told producers she felt attacked by Iyanla. Watch as Iyanla discusses the conflict with Leslie and asks the sisters to look inward before pointing fingers at her."

Ok.

It is no secret how I view Iyanla 'fixing' everyone's life.  But for those of you who don't know my stance on that, here goes:  Iyanla is a Yoruban priestess.  Yoruba is this African religion that goes off into some weird, satanic, voo doo, pre-destination, humanistic stuff that I don't have time to get into.  But if you click on the Yoruba link, I PROMISE you what you read of it will send you reeling!

SOOOO...

With that in mind, I wonder how is it that this voo doo (ahem, excuse me.  I mean Yoruban) priestess has all of a sudden become so all-knowing, so 'powerful,' so sought after in the African American community?  Even by those who claim Jesus Christ of Nazareth as Lord, those who say they love God, are anointed...saved AND sanctified.....

WHY ARE YOU SEEKING THE HELP OF A WITCH FOR DELIVERANCE??????????????

Don't get me wrong:  I love the singing of these girls.  I STILL am blessed by 'Just Because God Said It' by LaShun.  These girls could sing CIRCLES around the Clark Sisters....

BUT...

It concerns me that not only the Pace Sisters, but so many are eating the gobbly gook of Iyanla as if she were a bonafide prophetess who spoke at one of T.D. Jakes' WTAL conferences?

I can relate to the pain the Pace sisters are going through.  I, too, was molested as a girl by church leader(s). I, too, trusted and almost married a DL man who was HIV+.  I grew up in church as well.  Many called me 'anointed,' too.  I used to sing (I won't say NEARLY as good as any of these girls!  LOL); had a chance at recording and being in the gospel music industry.

Yall know my story...

But I'm not gonna get on TV and let some priestess 'minister' to me!  That's for sure!

According to http://iyanlavanzant.com/about/, Iyanla is 'one of America's most profound spiritual leaders and acclaimed empowerment legends.'

Why?  Because she is spiritual????

Everything or everyone spiritual is NOT saved, folks!  The problem with the church is they are seeking 'spiritual by-any-means-necessary folks.'  Meaning, they don't care if you're spiritual and the spirit you're carrying is from the devil...as long as you can 'make something happen in the spirit,' they are cool with you.

People...y'all need to be CAREFUL with that.  You can't go messing with all kinds of spirits that are NOT of God then wonder why all hell is breaking loose in your house!

When Leslie Pace say she felt offended by what Iyanla said to her, I was like, 'Well, yeah!  HELLO...that (spirit) in Iyanla was mocking YOUR GOD (that you say you have) in you!'  Religious spirits LOVE to mock!

These girls would have done better going seek counseling in the privacy of a LICENSED, QUALIFIED therapist to deal with their issues...than to come on this woman's show and air out all their dirty laundry....

The Pace Sisters have been through some stuff...we all know.  One sister came out as a lesbian a couple of years ago:

Member of Anointed Pace Sister Comes Out As Gay

This sister who came out a couple of years ago still has not been 'healed' of her issues.  She went on OWN a couple of years ago hoping that 'coming out' and appearing on OWN would help her.

Another sister testifies here of how she contracted STDs and HIV from (Im assuming) her husband:

And in an excerpt from "For My Good, But For His Glory," LaShun Pace shares her feelings about getting married to her first husband...and what happens immediately after...

"Now looking back over my life, I wished somebody would have thrown a sheet over my head, threw me in a car, and took off on a long ride to anywhere. As I was looking at wedding pictures, all the guys looked a little soft...They say that love is blind, but wanting to be free and grown so fast can also make you blind.

It was only 2 months after our marriage vows when my love answered the phone and on the other end was 'Dr. AIDS.' Then he said, 'Honey, the phone's for you. I said hello, and the doctor asked if my love had talked to me. I asked concerning what? He went on to say that they had that they had found the virus which causes AIDS in my love's body and that I needed to get to his office right away for testing. He finished telling me of the danger I was in; that the end results would be death, and having children would be no possibility.

He told me about the virus, I burst into tears, and the thought of us both dying was too much to bear. Questions were filling my head, all I could say was, 'Ive just gotten married! What is going on? This was back in 1986, I had heard of the alternative lifestyles of other people but I didn't know about the disease..."

All of this brings me to this ONE ALL-Important question:  

WHY IS IT THAT MORE AND MORE CHURCH FOLKS ARE SEEKING THE ASSISTANCE OF THE WORLD?  FOR ISSUES THEY PICKED UP.....IN CHURCH????????????

Now, I understand.  The church system has failed millions of people.  So once you keep going through the same thing (IN YOUR CHURCH) over and over again, you will automatically seek help outside of her (the harlot church) for relief.  I truly understand.

BUT you cannot, and I want to stress CANNOT, get help from the 'stuff' that you got in church from someone WHO IS NOT SAVED!!!!!!

Iyanla is NOT saved.  She does not even believe in God, even though she may talk OF God.  I mean, come on!  She is hanging buddies with Oprah!  Read up on the Yoruban religion.  

She is part of the spirit of Antichrist.  HOW can someone who doesn't believe in God EVER help you????

You've been hurt in church?  

Molested by church leaders?  

Turned out by the bishop?  

The apostle gave you AIDS?  

You do better just going to counseling.  If you need the name of a good one WHO IS SAVED, email me at goconnmca@gmail.com.  I will refer you to one!

If you're struggling with your own sexuality, I want to share with you MY OWN PERSONAL STORY of deliverance and TRUE sexual healing.






"Down Low Deliverance: BE SET FREE!" is my own story of how sexual abuse in the church led to my own struggle with my sexuality...and how GOD set me free from sexual bondage and confusion.

And Ye Shall Receive...POWER?

This year, the feast that is known as Pentecost Sunday, celebrated 50 days after the Passover, was celebrated today.  In many congregations, many pastors preached on what is called 'the baptism of the Holy Ghost.'

We all know about the Day of Pentecost in Acts 2.

For centuries, we have been taught that the Holy Ghost-or rather, a sign that one has it-is if they speak in tongues.  This is where the phrase 'received the baptism of the Holy Ghost, evidenced by speaking in tongues' was initiated.

In Acts 1:8, Jesus Christ promises the disciples that they shall receive power after the Holy Ghost comes upon them, to become witnesses.

And we have taken that and ran with it.  We have led millions of people to believe that the Holy Ghost was the manifestation that took place on the Day of Pentecost, instead of teaching people the PURPOSE OF THE HOLY GHOST.

We got caught up in the power aspect of it all, that we have negated the TRUE power of the Holy Ghost by relegating it to a mere fleshly manifestation.  Or should I say manifestations.

This is how the enemy has been able to trick many into settling for the manifestations instead of holding out for the real thing...the FRUIT.

The greek word for power in Acts 1:8 is 'dynamis,' which means 'moral power and excellence of soul; potential to do what is right; inherent power, strength; the ability or enabling to do what could not be done before empowerment.'

We have heard pentecostals and charismatics call it 'dunamis' power, when that is not the correct spelling-or definition-of the actual greek word used here.  This was intentional-to get people focused on the signs and wonders aspect of power-the physical manifestations that tantalize and excite the flesh....and sway people away from focusing on the FRUIT.

We need to remember one thing;  the enemy has always wanted POWER.  And since power belongs to God, lucifer has to steal it, or fool the recipients of power out of their power.  The power the enemy wants to steal from people is NOT the power to raise the dead, or heal the sick, or to do miraculous signs and wonders.  He already got that.

The devil can perform miracles, fake deliverances, preach, prophesy, dance, speak in tongues...he has been practicing his magical bag of tricks to fool the religious and sign seekers for generations....it started when Moses was before Pharaoh and Pharaoh had his magicians mimic every sign God wrought through the hands of Moses.  The only way the enemy was exposed was when what God wrought devoured the lies and tricks of the enemy.

The way that the SPIRIT OF THE LIVING GOD devours the works of the enemy today is by exposing the enemy for who and what he really is.

The enemy wants YOUR power to do what is right!

Every time someone who claims salvation gives in to sin, the enemy has gained ground-or stolen-a little more of  the power GOD gave to you.

'Ye shall receive power...'

Many are going to preach this today.  Many are gonna get hands laid on them at altars today.  Many are going to speak in tongues today.  Many are going to go through fake deliverance today.  A lot of dancing and shouting will go forth, and many will conclude it was all God.

And this whole fiasco that is going on today in many churches will grieve the Holy Ghost...

But watch these same people next week....and we will see if they indeed received 'power.'

Excerpt from 
'Grieving the Holy Ghost'

By Pam Sheppard

The Holy Ghost has been reduced to what charismatics, Pentecostals and word of faith-ers call "the anointing."

To most of this crowd, the Holy Ghost is "an it" that causes them to have goosebumps as they fall out slain in the spirit, speak in a language that no one can understand, and "get drunk in the spirit." However, He is so much more than that.

DO NOT GRIEVE THE HOLY GHOST!

As a Person and not "a feeling," the Holy Ghost speaks, teaches, witnesses, guides, comforts, convicts, commands, helps, converts, imparts faith to believe, brings the fear of the Lord and imparts godly sorrow to help a sinner repent. He can be obeyed, lied to, resisted, grieved, quenched, quenched, insulted and blasphemed.  The work of the Holy Spirit on earth is similar to that of the Lord's earthly ministry. As Jesus lived to lift up and glorify the Father, the Holy Spirit's work centers on lifting up the Son of God, Jesus Christ of Nazareth.  The Father also glorifies the Son.  The Holy Ghost is the Spirit of Christ and the Spirit of the Father.  All three Persons are One.  As our Teacher of spiritual truths, the Holy Spirit will enlighten your mind with insights into the mind of Christ as He unlocks the spiritual doorways to the secret things of God.

Just as the Holy Ghost drove Jesus into the wilderness to do battle with the devil, He does the same with the elect of God.  The Holy Ghost not only wants you to know the godhead.  He wants you to know your enemy and so He will arrange your wilderness experience, tailor-made to what you need to find out.  He knows that it is crucial that you be not ignorant to demonic deception, for the demons have access to our very souls.

Therefore, it is imperative that we learn how to tell the difference between what is spiritual, what is demonic and what is soulish or carnal.  The Holy Ghost is the Helper and as such, He provides us with self-knowledge as long as we don't grieve Him. Self knowledge equips us to be able to discern thoughts and feelings that are alien to our character and personality. Demons love to snare their prey with half-truths rather than with complete lies because a half truth can set a more believable trap.

You say to yourself, if this is true, then THAT must be true, and then you are trapped.  This is the scheme that is the foundation of all false religions.  There is at least ONE truth about God in all of them, perhaps more.

Nevertheless, 99% of truth is no truth at all.   It is a lie.  The Holy Ghost is 100 percent truth and there are no lies in Him. 99% of truth is a setup from the devil. Since our human struggle with the evil side of the spirit world is a daily event, and since Jesus revealed that the Holy Ghost is 100 percent truth, we need to resist grieving Him.  For Jesus said that the Holy Ghost will reveal truth as to what is to come.  In the times in which we live, we are helpless without the Holy Ghost.

How do we grieve the Holy Ghost? Well, when we actually believe that WE lead people to Jesus Christ, we grieve the Holy Ghost.

All we do is preach and testify, as led by the Holy Ghost to do so.  The Holy Ghost does the rest.  He knows who will be saved from who will be damned.  He is the one who dispatches angels to set up our wilderness experiences that He will use to draw us to the cross.   He is the one who provides faith to believe on the Son of God and His bodily resurrection.  You might call the Holy Ghost "THE MINISTER OF SALVATION." So He is certainly grieved when we take the credit for our own salvation when we boast "I ACCEPTED Jesus."  He is more than grieved with this. He is angry.  Perhaps that is why religious demons have been allowed to enter those who have said "Jesus, come into my heart."

• When He is grieved, He is also quenched. A fire is quenched when dirt is thrown on it.  The organized church has thrown lots of dirt on the Holy Ghost and perhaps that is why He left Her.
• The Holy Ghost  is also grieved when He is reduced to a flesh experience.  He is a Spirit.  We must worship God in spirit and in truth and not by a sensation on our flesh.  The Holy Ghost imparts the truth by which we worship God Almighty.
• The Holy Ghost is grieved when professing Christians bypass the Son of God and seek the Father to be saved.  He is quite grieved with that.
• The Holy Ghost is grieved by those who do not try the spirits to see if they be of Him.  He will let you be deceived until you do.

Resurrection life---the same power the Holy Ghost used to raise the Lord from the dead---will be evident when you experience revelation, power, and discernment under the guidance and instruction of the Holy Ghost.  Revelation is to receive God's own personal  knowledge and wisdom about YOUR life.  Power is His supernatural ability applied to YOUR human frailty.  We cannot do without  the resurrection life of the Holy Ghost in times like these.

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So to conclude, I can safely say the the SPIRIT OF THE LIVING GOD is tired of people celebrating Pentecost Sunday.

How can I say that?

Isaiah 1:13-15

Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.

Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.

And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.

God is no longer impressed by people who have solemn assemblies, saying they are worshiping Him, when their hearts are far from Him.

Look what He says in verse 16...

Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;

THIS is what the POWER of the Holy Ghost is supposed to do!

Give us power to be cleansed, to put away evil, to cease to do evil.

If what you are getting at your altars is not empowering you to do this, giving you wisdom...then you have no real power at all.

So my question remains...have you REALLY received POWER?

Facebook Wars: The Art of Agreeing (or Disagreeing)

'How can two walk together except they agree?'  Amos 3:3

We all have heard this scripture used in sermons and teachings before.  

I have watched certain groups, fellowships and the such in my 20 + years of being saved, and I have found something to be VERY true.

Birds of a feather DO flock together.

Like people will be drawn to one another.  Good or bad.  

In AND outside of church, human behavior almost dictates that people who are alike tend to flock together. Flocking is a tendency that humans and sheep share.  

To flock:  1.  A group of animals that live, travel, or feed together.  2. A group of people under the leadership of one person, especially the members of a church.  3. A large crowd or number

I studied sheep...and I found it interesting that sheep not only flock together, but they will follow a leader together...even if that leader, say, leads them straight into a lake or river...to drown to their death.

Sheep blindly and wholeheartedly follow a leader-known as a shepherd-wherever they go.  Even if the 'leader' starts out on a right path, but gets off track and goes another way.

"...Sheep are flock animals and strongly gregarious; much sheep behavior can be understood on the basis of these tendencies. The dominance hierarchy of sheep and their natural inclination to follow a leader to new pastures were the pivotal factors in sheep being one of the first domesticated livestock species.  Furthermore, in contrast to the red deer and gazelle (two other ungulates of primary importance to meat production in prehistoric times), sheep do not defend territories although they do form home ranges All sheep have a tendency to congregate close to other members of a flock, although this behavior varies with breed and sheep can become stressed when separated from their flock members.  During flocking, sheep have a strong tendency to follow and a leader may simply be the first individual to move. Relationships in flocks tend to be closest among related sheep: in mixed-breed flocks, subgroups of the same breed tend to form, and a ewe and her direct descendants often move as a unit within large flocks..." from Wikipedia 

I think I quoted this before in my post about pastors....

But anyway, its good information...

This may seem like a great quality to have...and the Word even speaks of sheep...and goats.  Sheep are supposed to be good; goats are supposed to be bad.  But this is from the viewpoint of the leader...the sheep or the goats' 'teachability' supposedly determines their goodness, their loyalty, their faithfulness, and, some leaders will even go as far as to say you're not saved if you don't do EVERYTHING they want you to do.

I was once under a leader like this, in the oneness movement.  I was 9 months pregnant with my daughter, full of fluid, and I refused to sell pecan candy for the church (the pastor).  My feet were swollen up like tree stumps and I just couldn't see myself going out in the 90 degree weather in front of Walmart to sell some pecan candy!  

So the pastor call himself 'cursing me' from the pulpit, kicked me out the church and told me I was not saved!

LOL!

It wasn't funny then, though.  

For someone who was HEAVILY under the influence of religion, I had to walk 3 miles home in extremely hot weather...with tree stump ankles.  Crying and balling my eyes out because I believed this preacher who told me I wasn't saved!  Why?  Because I didn't sell some pecan candy in front of Walmart!!!

I can laugh at it now....and I don't want to stay on this too long.  But I shared this to show you all how much power and control these leaders can abuse when you GIVE IT TO THEM.

But I want to talk about WHY do people have a hard time with other people disagreeing with them????

How come in religious (or religious like settings) is disagreement automatically seen as betrayal?  The one who disagrees with how a leader interprets things, or teaches things, or maybe how they run things...if someone has the guts to say anything, or just decides to leave because they KNOW the leader does not handle confrontation well, the person is then deemed an enemy?

THIS kind of flock behavior is EXACTLY why there are so many denominations, churches, fellowships and the such.  

I like the term 'agree to disagree.'  

It absolves either party from feeling like the other is the enemy ... just because the two disagree.

I will also say this...it is ok to be sheep...but the Word of God says to be HARMLESS as doves, but WISE as serpents!  Jesus Christ says he sends us out as SHEEP....AMONG WOLVES.

Do you know what that means?

Yes, it is good to be sheep.  But not so you can be UNWISE...or NOT BE AWARE of the wolves that are circling around you - and their agenda. 

Serpents have a STRONG sensitivity to what's going on around them - a 'type' of discernment.  Their bellies that they crawl around upon is the most sensitive parts of their bodies.  They can literally feel when something is coming their way.  When you see a snake hiss, they are not hissing to cause you harm.  Their forked tongues have sensors on the tip that can sense change of motion in the air.  Just by sticking out their forked tongues, snakes can tell if someone is approaching.

And when a snake attacks, it is not just to catch prey, but it is a form of protection.  

Snakes can be killed as well.  So because they have no feet and legs to run from danger, because they have to slither on the ground, even though they do it really fast...their first mode of defense is to attack.  

There is a REASON why God tells us to be WISE as serpents.

God wants us to be AWARE, HYPER-AWARE, as a matter of fact, to what is REALLY going on around us.  

God knew that there would be wolves - hirelings - that would attempt to lead the sheep.  And that the very nature of sheep is to be led.  And if sheep do not OPERATE IN WISDOM/DEFENSE MODE, they stand a great chance to be led astray!

God is calling us to be WISE SHEEP THAT ARE AWARE of what is REALLY going on.

JESUS CHRIST is called the GREAT SHEPHERD of the SHEEP.

I suggest you SEEK THE TRUE SHEPHERD and not man...

Man always ends up becoming wolves....

There IS an art to disagreeing, and most have not realized it.  Or practiced it.

This is why it is WISE to just part ways, let things be what they are.  If two or more parties disagree on a thing, then they should agree to amicably part ways and move on with their lives.

I titles this Facebook Wars because it seems that many in this arena simply do not know how to 'agree to disagree.'  Everybody's trying to be right.  Set folks straight.  Defend the faith....We don't have to defend ANYTHING.  Jesus Christ PAID it all on Calvary!

Folks on Facebook need to learn to let dead dogs lie.  Agree to disagree.  Stop calling folks enemies just because they didn't agree WITH YOU.

DO KNOW....JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE DISAGREES WITH YOU DOES NOT MAKE THEM AN ENEMY!

And every disagreement is NOT meant for debate or discussion.  Just let it be.  You walk your way.  And the other party walks their way....

So let's put away the bats and the knives....let's 'study war no more.'  

It's really not that serious.  Really.

How can two walk together...except they AGREE?  

LeAndria Johnson To Open Church in Georgia

Ok, there is a buzz going on in the church arena that Sunday Best Winner LeAndria Johnson is starting her own church next month in Georgia, according to LeAndria's Facebook page.

For those of you who do not know LeAndria, she is a popular, very talented gospel artist contestant winner on BET'S 'Sunday's Best' series that every seasons airs a 9 month long talent show of gospel artists who want to make it big.  (Just picture 'American Idol' in a church setting)

A panel of judges (including Donnie McClurkin, Yolanda Adams and Cece Winans-that is always subject to change) plus a cheering audience get to choose 'la creme de la creme' of gospel artists who parade around across the stage and duke it out for who is 'Sunday's Best,' who is the best singer of that season.

LeAndria won SB in 2010 and life has been a roller coaster for her ever since.  

She had the church world in an uproar after she gave birth to her son last year...and was not married.  Many people who cheered her on in SB and all her corresponding church events in which she performed after SB were ready to stone her for not being a godly example of a virtuous woman. 

I never had a problem, per se, with her giving birth out of wedlock.  I have been saying from GO that LeAndria is on a train ride that will end up being a wreck.  NOT because of her not being a talented performer and songstress, an entertainer, or not even questioning her salvation.  

Just by virtue of the fact that she is within the church system...THIS is what is going to hurt her in the long run...

I said from her win on SB that LeAndria was being exploited by church people.  Church is well known for exploiting people for their sin or issues, and not being able to do a thing about them.

The FB post states she was preaching and teaching 'revivals' long before SB...as to somehow add 'credibility to 'the call to ministry.'

What most-if not all-church folks fail to realize is that God is NOT opening up these churches.  THIS is why the pastors have to become more and more 'appealing' to the five senses in order to 'gain a crowd.'

First, Kim Burrell opened a church in 2011...another popular, awesome singer in the gospel music industry.  LeAndria and Kim are two sisters I actually applaud for their incredible vocal skills and talent.

But I can wholeheartedly attest to the fact that God has not called either woman to the ministry.

God has called them OUT of the church.

BUT because of their love affair with the general public, their need for public approval, their own personal ambition, and maybe a hint of pride, these two sisters will undoubtedly continue on with their ministerial ventures...in efforts to 'minister' to those the average church world has failed to reach.

And while that is an admirable cause and reason (to 'start a church'-smh...you cannot 'start' a church, btw-WE ARE THE CHURCH), the best 'ministry' to the people who won't go to church won't be found inside the four walls of any church.

NO matter HOW talented....or how 'anointed.'  Or how beautiful.  Or how smart.

ONLY THE HOLY GHOST can teach people...and minister to people.

Most of the churches that are being opened today are NOT 'opened' by God.  Period.

All that these people are doing is perpetuating more error, spreading more false doctrine and causing more harm than good.

NOT because of anyone's sordid past, or their imperfections (God can use anyone...WHO IS SAVED.  It's not a question of what their financial status was, or if they were homeless or not, or what family they come from...) or because of their being a man or a woman (there is neither male nor female in the Kingdom of God), or because they are a part of the wrong denomination (WHO came up with denominations?) or ANYTHING like that.

The reason why folks need to STOP opening up churches is because......

THE CHURCH AGE IS OVER.  

God is NOT telling you to start a church.  

STOP OPENING UP CHURCHES!

Da es betrifft, um Beziehungen zwischen Homosexuell Männer und heterosexuelle Frauen ... das neue "Mischehen ... 'Modern Day Psychologen haben diesen Begriff verwendet, um Beziehungen / Ehen zwischen Männern, die Homosexuell (oder bisexuell ...) und Frauen, die gerade sind, sind zu beschreiben. Die Dynamik hinter dieser Art von Beziehung / Ehe ist sehr kompliziert. Ich erinnere mich, als es war nur ein Mann, eine Frau. Jetzt können Sie eine Variation dessen, was "Ehe" bedeutet haben ... und komplizierte Beziehungen sind eher die Norm als die Ausnahme von der Regel.


Ich möchte über Beziehungen, wo eine Frau tritt in eine mit einem Mann, den sie voraussetzt sprechen ist gerade, und der Kerl (vielleicht absichtlich, vielleicht unbeabsichtigt) nicht mit der Frau, dass er Homosexuell oder bisexuell ist zu teilen. Einige Männer nicht teilen mit der Frau, weil sie absichtlich zu wollen, um die Frau zu betrügen.Sie heiratete die Frau als Abdeckung. Er höchstwahrscheinlich arbeitet in einem Bereich, der als "maskulin", wie ein Minister, ein Polizist, oder im Militär ist. Er weiß, er wird viel Flack auf dem Arbeitsmarkt zu fangen und vielleicht in seiner Gemeinde, wenn sie waren, um herauszufinden, ob er war Homosexuell. So spielt er die Rolle eines geraden Mann-schöne Frau, 2,5 Kinder, weißen Lattenzaun, 2 Autos (einer davon ein Minivan). Das andere Leben, das er frequentiert die Homosexuell bar, Durchlesen für ein Homosexuell Liebhaber. Oder er kann eine Homosexuell Liebhaber auf der Seite zu haben ... Leben zwei und drei verschiedene Leben. In dem Film "Cover", es ist ein großartiges Beispiel dafür, was passieren kann, wenn ein Mann dies tut. Ich werde nicht verderben es für Sie . Überzeugen Sie sich selbst:


                                  



Ich betitelte diese wie ich es tat, weil ich einige Erfahrung mit Dating (und fast heiraten) ein Mann mit seiner eigenen sexuellen Kämpfe haben.


Ich kann sagen, meine Geschichte unterscheidet sich von Jason Collins 'oder dem Kerl in Cover ... meine Ex Verlobten offenbart bei mir von Anfang an von unserer romantischen Engagement seiner sexuellen Kämpfe ... und seine HIV-Status.


Zu der Zeit konnte ich nicht wirklich zu schätzen, dass er wenigstens ehrlich zu mir war. Als ich mich um und schauen so viele Männer sind einfach nur beängstigend, trügerisch und vielleicht einfach nur alt verwirrt, wenn es nicht betrifft, ihre Sexualität aber in der Dunkelheit über ihren HIV-Status.


Ich kann ehrlich sagen, ich bin eine der Frauen, die gesegnet, was los war kannte. Ich nahm den Vorschlag, weil ich glaubte er sei "umgerechnet" aus seiner Homosexualität ... und dass ich mit seiner HIV + Status umzugehen.


Da die Beziehung ging jedoch merkte ich, dass ich nicht umgehen ... mit beiden.


Die Homosexualität, na ja, sagen wir einfach, wie eine Frau, für mich jedenfalls, war es wichtig für mich zu wissen, dass der Mann, den ich heiraten war wollte mich wollen, und nur ich. Und ich konnte einfach nicht akzeptieren, dass er nicht wollte, ME.


Wie ich das wissen?


Eine Frau weiß. Eine Frau, die weiß, wann ein Mann will sie ... und wenn er dies nicht tut.


Und je näher ich kam zu dem Tag, konnte ich nicht nur mitspielen auszukommen.


Die HIV + Status ... naja, ist HIV eine ernste Sache. Ja, es gibt Möglichkeiten, sich zu schützen. Aber noch einmal, ich konnte nicht mit jemanden zu heiraten, die unheilbar krank sein kann umzugehen. Das war zu viel von einem Stamm auf jeder Ehe zu platzieren.


Also rief ich die Hochzeit.


So ein Teil meines Schreibens ist, um ihn für seine Ehrlichkeit danken .... Danke .


Der andere Grund, warum ich dies schreibe, ist, weil ich den Menschen da draußen, die mit ihrer Sexualität zu kämpfen haben ermahnen wollen. Sie sind (oder zumindest denken, sie sind) zu anderen Männern hingezogen. Und in einer Beziehung mit einer Frau.


Ich möchte Sie um ehrlich zu sein mit der Frau in Ihrem Leben.


Gehen Sie nicht und an eine Frau zu heiraten, weil es ein guter Karriereschritt oder Dienst Schritt wäre. Oder möchten Sie Ihre Familie und Freunde zu beeindrucken. Oder sogar davon überzeugen, dass Sie 'heterosexuell. "


Verwenden Sie nicht die Frau als "Konvertierungs-Werkzeug." Selbst die begehrtesten, schön, heilig oder wie auch immer geartete Frau wird nicht genug sein, um 'konvertieren' Sie von der Homosexualität zur Heterosexualität.


Ich bin nicht einmal der Bewältigung der biblische Aspekt dieses hier .... Ich bin gerade mit dir zu reden .... Frau zu Mann.


Als eine Frau, die in einer "komplizierten" Beziehung (oder zwei) gewesen ist, muss ich Ihnen sagen. Es könnte auf dich nach hinten losgehen. Sie könnten zum Hochzeitsessen TONIGHT gehen. Die Einladungen sind raus. Jeder hat in die Stadt geflogen und Ihre Braut-zu-werden kann strotzt vor Aufregung über die Hochzeit ...


Aber wenn Sie glauben sogar, Sie schwingen 'auf diese Weise, "wenn Sie überhaupt daran denken, Sie sind Homosexuell oder angezogen zu anderen Männern, sie weg zu benennen!


Nicht zu dieser Frau liegen, nicht führen sie auf. Würden Sie wollen, dass jemand das für Sie tun??


Und wenn du ein Mann (oder eine Frau) mit HIV sind, bitte, bitte, bitte teilen Sie Ihre Status vor Beginn der Beziehung zu beginnen!


Das ist Informationen, die Sie mit der anderen Person WAY AHEAD Zeit teilen. Warten Sie nicht, bis Sie mit der Person zusammen seit 1 Jahr ... oder 2 waren. Dann sagen sie.


Denn wenn Sie schlafen zusammen, passieren und dass andere Person bekommt HIV, können Sie ins Gefängnis gehen!


Plus, wie ethisch ist das?


Geben Sie diese Person die Chance auf Arbeit durch, ob sie vorwärts zu gehen mit Ihnen in einem (romantische) Beziehung mit der HIV wollen. Das ist wirklich schwer news ... und sie haben das Recht zu wissen.


Und ich weiß, dass immer auf HIV getestet, ist keine Voraussetzung in den meisten Staaten, bevor sie eine Ehe-Lizenz ... aber ich sehr empfehlen, sich testen. Nicht nur für die Hochzeit ... aber (es sei denn, Sie beide Jungfrauen sind) in der Beziehung.


NO Ihr Alter, Ihren Beruf, Ihren Familienstand, Ihren Status im Dienst, oder was auch immer egal. Wenn Sie jemals Sex haben, sich testen zu lassen! KNOW YOUR STATUS!

FAL$E TEACHER$ by Shai Linne

One two one two, Yo!
Special dedication to my brothers and sisters on the great continent of Africa To Saints in Malawi, Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, Zimbabwe.
Don't be deceived by what America is sending y'all man, yeah? Let me begin, while there is still ink left in my pen, I am set to contend for Truth you can bet will offend, Deception within the church man, who's letting them in?

We talked about this years ago, let's address it again. (Yeah)
 And I ain't really trying to start beef, but some who claim to be part of his sheep got some sharp teeth.(they're wolves)
 You cast at me when you criticize them when you criticize them, but Jesus told us: Matthew 7:16, we can recognize them! And God forbid that for the love of some fans, I keep quiet and watch them die with their blood on my hands!

 (so...)There's nothing left for me to do except to speak to you in the spirit of Jude 3 and 2 Peter 2
 And I know that some would label me a Pharisee, because today the only heresy is saying that there's heresy:

 "How dare they be specific and drop some clarity on the popularity of the gospel of Prosperity"
 Turn off TBN that channel is overrated. The Pastor's speak bogus statements, financially motivated. It's kind of like a pyramid scheme.
Visualize Heretics christianizing the American dream.

 It's foul and deceitful, they're lying to people, teaching that camels squeeze through the eye of a needle! Ungodly and wicked, ask yourself how can they not be convicted treating Jesus like a lottery ticket.
 And you're thinking they're not the dangerous type because some of their statements are right, they're only proof that Satan comes as an angel of light.

 This teaching can't be believed without a cost, the lie is you can achieve a crown without a cross
 And I hear it all the time when they speak on the block
Even unbelievers are shocked how they're fleecing the flock
 It should be obvious then, yet I'll explain why it's Sin, peep the Bible it's in 1 Timothy 6:9-10
 It talks about how the desire for riches has left many souls on fire and stitches mired in ditches

 Tell me, who would teach you to pursue as a goal the very thing that the Bible said will ruin your soul! (huh?) Yet they're encouraging the love of money, to make it worse, they've exported this garbage into other countries!
 My heart breaks even now as I am rhyming.
Do you wanna know what all false teachers have in common?(what?)

It's called self(ism) the fastest growing religion; they just dress it up and call it "Christian".

 Don't be deceived by this funny biz, if you come to Jesus for money, then he's not your God, money is! Jesus is not a means to an end, the Gospel is
He came to redeem us from sin, and that is the message forever I'll yell!

 If you're living your best life now you're heading for hell! (Talk to them)

 Joel Osteen - false teacher! (Let them know)
 Creflo Dollar is a false teacher! (Who else? Who else?)
 Benny Hinn is a false teacher! I know they're popular but don't let them deceive ya! (Talk to them)
 TD Jakes is a false teacher! (Tell the Truth)
 Joyce Meyer is a false teacher! (Let them know)
 Paula White is a false teacher! Use your discernment, let the Bible lead ya! (Keep going)
 Fred Price is a false teacher! (Tell the Truth)
 Kenneth Copland is a false teacher! (Who else? Who else?)
 Robert Tilton is a false teacher! I know they're popular but don't let them deceive ya! (Talk to them)
 Eddie Long is a false teacher! (Let them know)
 Juanita Bynum is a false teacher! (Who else? Who else?)
 Paul Crouch is a false teacher! Use your discernment, let the Bible lead ya!

"But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth will be blasphemed. And in their greed they will exploit you with false words. Their condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep." 2 Peter 2:1-3

God Has A Lot To Say About Pastors

The Pastor.

It seems like today, the pastor is a role, a position, that is much loved (or maybe hated, depending on who you talk to).

It is one of what is called the Five Fold Ministry Gifts listed in Ephesians 4.

Today, many who are in the church system wholeheartedly believe that the 'ministry gifts' are still necessary for 'the church.'

I want to take a biblical look at this....

Indeed, God did talk of pastors in the bible.  The word 'Pastor' means 'ra`ah' in Hebrew, which means 'to shepherd, teacher, to associate with, to be companions with.'

Below are the only scriptures I found with the word 'pastor' in them.  I want you to note how God speaks of pastors, in the OT, in particular.

Jeremiah 2:8
The priests said not, Where is the Lord? and they that handle the law knew me not: the pastors also transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after things that do not profit.

Jeremiah 3:15
And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.

Jeremiah 10:21
For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the Lord: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered.

Jeremiah 12:10
Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness.

Jeremiah 22:22
The wind shall eat up all thy pastors, and thy lovers shall go into captivity: surely then shalt thou be ashamed and confounded for all thy wickedness.

Jeremiah 23:1
Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the Lord.

Jeremiah 23:2
Therefore thus saith the Lord God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the Lord.

It seems to me that, for the most part, pastors were OFTEN rebuked by the Spirit of the Lord, for not feeding 'the sheep' properly, for not seeking the Lord, for becoming 'brutish.'  Do you KNOW what brutish means???

Brutish means to become 'strongly and grossly SENSUAL; showing LITTLE intelligence and sensibility...the dictionary actually lists 'CARNAL and FLESHLY' as synonyms for the word brutish!!!!

I want to present to you that the reason - the biggest transgression - that these pastors committed in the eyes of God was that they got CARNAL.

THIS is how they destroyed the flock, and scattered the sheep!

You have to understand the nature of sheep.

According to Wikipedia, "sheep are flock animals and strongly gregarious (or sociable); much sheep behavior can be understood on the basis of these tendencies. The dominance hierarchy of sheep and their natural inclination to follow a leader to new pastures were the pivotal factors in sheep being one of the first domesticated livestock species. (Sheep establish a dominance hiererachy through fighting, threats and competitiveness.) Furthermore, sheep do not defend territories although they do form home ranges. All sheep have a tendency to congregate close to other members of a flock, although this behavior varies with breed, and sheep can become stressed when separated from their flock members. During flocking, sheep have a strong tendency to follow and a leader may simply be the first individual to move. Their flocking behavior and quickness to flee and panic can make shepherding a difficult endeavor for the uninitiated. The strongest sense sheep have is their sense of HEARING..."
With this in mind, God knew that we would naturally want to flock together.  We would look for leaders.  We get stressed when we can't go to church, or when we don't have 'a covering.'  Sheep HEAR VERY well.  This is the NATURE of sheep.

The Word says HE THAT HATH AN EAR, LET HIM HEAR what the Spirit of the Lord is saying...

Again, this is the nature and characteristics of SHEEP.

But also because God knew that even the best of shepherds would become corrupted due to carnality and to submission to a man-made system of church.  God knew that the enemy would set up pastors and leaders-false prophets-who can MIMIC and imitate the voice of God...sound just like God...act just like God.

Therefore, God had to come up with another plan to save His Sheep from being sheared by these false pastors.

GOD MADE A WAY OF ESCAPE for His sheep.

God sent Jesus Christ of Nazareth, who would become the Great Shepherd of the sheep (Heb. 13:20, John 10:11-16)

Yes, the Word does speak of pastors in the NT....

Ephesians 4:11
And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;

But if you read the entire chapter 4 of Ephesians, those 'five fold' gifts, if you will, were not meant to be a PERMANENT fixture in the lives of sheep...

If you read on, there is a REASON why these people are placed in the lives of believers.

And there is also a TIME LIMIT to how long these people are supposed to be in their lives!

REASON for pastors, prophets, apostles, etc.?

  '...for the perfecting of the saints; for the edification of the (TRUE) Body of Christ..." (vs 12)

HOW LONG are they supposed to be in your life?

'...Til we all come into the unity of the faith....until we KNOW the Son of God...until we become 'a perfect man...a MATURE man...'  (vs 13)

How do I know this?

Read on....

'...be NO MORE children, tossed to and fro, carried about with every doctrine....may grow up - UNTO HIM (NOT your pastor, bishop, apostle, etc!) unto ALL things, unto CHRIST...which IS the Head...' ( vs 14-15)

I don't see anywhere in Ephesians 4 where all of this is supposed to take place so you can go to ministry school and serve the pastor, and the church.

As a matter of fact, if you read Ephesians 5, you will see that Paul spoke of serving YOUR FAMILY...being followers of GOD, and NOT man.

A building, the five fold, is NOT spoken of here again in this context.

And PASTOR is not even mentioned in 1 Corinthians 12:28, when Paul describes the spiritual gifts or functionalities set in the church in that entire chapter.

Could it be that ALL of these offices so many in the organized church revere and aspire to are ALL TEMPORARY roles they should play in the lives of believers?  That their role is only a TEMPORARY one, until the sheep can mature into the fullness of Christ?

Is it POSSIBLE that God would ordain an office, a position, a role...a divine one...and then remove the very necessity of that role?????

Oh, it is VERY possible!  God wants His Glory...and does not share it with man.

He has before....in the case of the PRIEST.

The word PRIEST is mentioned 846 in total in the Bible.

689 times-OT
157 times NT

We are all aware of the role of the priest in the OT.  Time and space prevents me from citing every scripture in the OT where a priest is mentioned.  It is safe to say that, for the most part, the priest in the OT were the people ordained by God to offer up sacrifices for sin on behalf of the people.

Priest was a role ordained by God and would often be inherited by the sons of priests.  Whole families would be in the priesthood.

But if you look at the scriptures above, God even had something against the priests....a holy office and position HE instituted and ordained!

In the New Testament, the term 'priest' was used mostly in the phrases 'high priest' and 'chief priest.'  And up until the Book of Hebrews, always in the context of how high priests and chief priests were functional in the Judaistic (or OT) religious system.

After the Book of Hebrews, the bible speaks of Jesus Christ of Nazareth being THE CHIEF PRIEST who replaced ALL further need for priests.

As it pertains to offering a sacrifice for our sins....

In Revelations, Priest appears 3 times, and all three times, it is in reference to US being priests and kings in the Kingdom of God.

According to The Difference Between a High Priest and a Chief Priest

High Priest

"...It's a matter of hierarchy, like the Catholic Church has a high priest, the Pope, then under him the Cardinals who are chief priests, then other priests below them.

Ancient Jews had their High Priest position, usually father succeeded by son within one family with direct lineage to Aaron. If the High Priest had brothers, those filled in as alternates, often holding high office in the Sanhedrin supreme court, or were assigned among the Chief Priests to rule the Levite tribe...."

In other words, high priests and chief priest were terms instituted by the religious system to set up a hierarchy within the organized church.  Why?  Supposedly, to institute order and authority...but again I want to repeat what I said earlier...

When man tries to do what only GOD CAN, it will always fail!

When man starts to take 'the credit,' if you will, for what GOD wants to do in the life of a believer, the Spirit of God is GRIEVED!

God may have instituted and ordained priests in the OT, and the picture above is an example of a high priest, once Jesus Christ became the Shepherd of our souls, there was NO FURTHER NEED FOR PRIESTS!!!!!

So just as God eradicated the need for PRIESTS to be in our lives, so did He also eradicate the necessity for five fold, pastors and the such to be in our lives....at least, indefinitely anyways!

Yes, I can admit, there is a time where a pastor can be helpful in helping mature a new convert.  But the role of that pastor is to help mature that believer to be LIKE CHRIST, and NOT LIKE THEM....

Then there comes a time when that pastor must recognize that their work is done and they must 'release' that sheep-for lack of a better word.  And do so lovingly, willingly, without threatening the sheep or 'excommunicating' the sheep (WHERE is the word 'excommunicate' in the bible anyways???).

Without all the spiritual manipulation of 'if you leave my flock, you will be cursed, or you are in rebellion....

God truly does have a lot to say about pastors.  But its NOT what YOU think.

God - for the most part - spent the majority of the time rebuking pastors for getting carnal, sensual and ministering to the sheep to fulfill THEIR desires...and NOT to do the WILL OF GOD.

This is a warning for all these pastors out here who are fleecing GOD'S sheep for your own selfish agendas....

"You do need to realize that GOD SEES WHAT YOU ARE DOING.  AND THE REASON WHY ALL THESE CHURCHES ARE GOING BELLY UP IN SCANDAL, WHY THE COVERS ARE BEING REMOVED, IS BECAUSE FOR WAY TOO LONG, YOU HAVE BEEN MINISTERING OUT OF YOUR FLESH!

GOD LOVES HIS SHEEP...AND YOU NEED TO REALIZE THAT Y E S, YOUR 'JOB' IN MINISTRY HAS BECOME OBSOLETE.  GOD C A N AND H A S FIRED YOU! 

YOU ARE NO LONGER WORKING FOR GOD, BUT THE DEVIL.  YOU HAVE SCATTERED THE SHEEP.  THE DEVIL DIDN'T DO IT....YOU DID!

AND GOD HAS MADE YET ANOTHER WAY OF ESCAPE FOR HIS SHEEP.

AND HIS WAY OF ESCAPE IS OUT OF YOUR CHURCHES!!!!!!!!!

A MASS EXODUS IS TAKING PLACE.  SHEEP RUN WHEN THEY ARE PANICKED...AND THEY ARE STARTING TO PANIC.  WHY?

BECAUSE THE COVERS HAS BEEN REMOVED.  THE SHEETS ARE SPOILED WITH YOUR SEMEN, YOUR SEMEN OF FALSE DOCTRINE, GREED, DECEPTION, MANIPULATION, WITCHCRAFT.  AND THE SHEEP SEE IT...BUT MORE THAN THAT....THEY ARE HEARING THE VOICE OF GOD!

AND JUST LIKE SHEEP RUN WHEN THEY SEE WOLVES, THEY SEE YOU FOR WHAT YOU ARE...AND THEY ARE RUNNING....

DON'T DO LIKE PHARAOH AND RUN AFTER THE SHEEP.

THEY ARE NOT YOURS!  ALL SOULS BELONG TO ME, SAITH THE LORD!!!!

GO BACK TO YOUR MAN-MADE KINGDOMS, SIT ON YOUR THRONES AND SULK.

IF YOU COME AFTER MY SHEEP, AFTER I HAVE MADE A WAY OF ESCAPE FOR THEM, YOU WILL BE DESTROYED.

REMEMBER THE RED SEA...."

The CopyCat Anointing...MEOW!

For the past few years, I have heard the phrase 'copycat anointing' floating around.

Charismatics and pentecostals use this phrase to label someone who they feel 'stole a word, a vision,' or lacked what they termed 'authenticity' in the word they may have given.

And where I am all for having integrity in ministry (for lack of a better term), and as an author I am vehemently against plagiarism of any kind, I do believe that to have copy rights to a word that God supposedly has given, or to walk around acting like you own the patent on a mantra, or ministerial slogan, a religious cliche that YOU made popular (Yes, I'm addressing ministers, in particular), that is error, prideful and just plain WRONG.

See, the fact of the matter is if GOD gives a Word, then its GOD'S WORD, NOT YOURS!

How do you not know that God didn't give it to BOTH you AND that person you are accusing of 'stealing your word?'

If you knew how arrogant that sounded, you would STOP saying such foolishness!

THE WORD IS NOT YOURS!  IT IS GOD'S!!!!

NO man, woman, boy or girl has ownership rights to the Word of the Lord.

NO one can claim 'THIS IS MY WORD!  AND YOU BETTER NOT STEAL IT!'

The fact of the matter is that a LOT of the BIBLE was written by a bunch of what we would term TODAY as plagiarists!!!!

That's right!

How many times you have read the bible, and you read the same story written by more than one author in the bible?????

I have a FEW Times!

This religious nonsense of 'folks stealing folks' word,' is just that....NONSENSE!

I have biblical proof that God WILL speak the SAME thing to different authors, ministers, etc. And they may just write it or word it differently.

Four authors that immediately comes to mind are Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

The first 4 authors of the NT.

Matthew was a tax collector. Luke was a doctor. Mark was (possibly) a fisherman, and John was definitely a fisherman.

They had OTHER occupations...and were the ORIGINAL apostles of the (Early) Church.

ALL four authors of the gospels ALL told the SAME stories.

NOWHERE in the gospels (or beyond) was it ever written or implied that Mark, Luke or John were 'copycat' apostles/disciples....that they 'stole the vision, the Word' from Matthew...who was inspired by the Holy Ghost to write the Book of Matthew.

So I wonder where these 'modern day apostles' get that saying 'they stole the word, they stole the vision?'

Could it be that these folks running around here crying about 'they stole my word' are doing so because IT IS 'THEIR' WORD, and NOT the Word of the Lord?

Doesn't the Word say that ALL scripture is inspired by GOD, and NOT the word of man? If that be that case-and we all know that it is-then Mark, Luke, John didn't plagiarize Matthew's account of the gospel.

God merely spoke it to Mark, Luke and John and they wrote it in THEIR hand.

How is it in the Early Church, the apostles/disciples, all those who wrote the Word...did not go around talking of a 'copycat anointing.'  

So where did that phrase come from?

A divisive, prideful spirit is one that masquerades itself as 'prophetic' or 'apostolic' (if I may use those religious terms)...and gets all lifted and puffed up when God speaks a word through them, whether it be in song, on letter or by mouth.

What a lot of people do not realize is that we are only VESSELS.

Just like Mark, Luke and John didn't take Matthew to court to sue them because they 'stole his story' or 'told it in another way,' so do those who say they are saved, and hearing from God...simply need to act like it.

Does it REALLY matter WHO heard God first?  Isn't the most important thing that YOU heard from God?  

There is NO SUCH THING as a copycat anointing!
