It’s Time For the Sharp Sickle

…preaching to a guy at the Summer Prayer tour, and asked him about hell. He said “I’ve been seeing visions about hell for years…” and proceeded to tell me about the different levels of hell, the hounds of hell, and different types of punishment and tormentors. Then he said he had a 50/50 chance of going there. I told him about Jesus and now he’s 100% heaven bound!

You can’t reap the harvest with a soft sickle you need a Sharp Sickle! You never know who God is preparing to be saved.

Revelation 14:14 KJV
And I looked , and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
Revelation 14:17 KJV
And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.
Revelation 14:18 KJV
And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying , Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe .

Sickle:
A sickle is a hand-held agricultural tool with a variously curved blade typically used for harvesting.

You Mean All You Want is a Car, House, and Cash? Seriously?

Gods Rewards are infinitely greater than the ones man can give…

Revelation, the Holy Spirit, a prudent wife, Children, Favor, creativity, witty inventions, the fear of the Lord, Knowledge of the Holy, wisdom & understanding, Godly seed, fruitful disciples that don’t fall away, grace, power, the anointing… And thats not even counting the rewards heaven holds till after you die!

Gods Rewards are less materialistic and more eternal, but men boast about the things that are an abomination in Gods sight. Luke 16

How to Find The Sin you haven’t repented of:

The sin that you have not fully repented of is the sin that you hide AND the sin that you can’t preach hard against.

2 corinthians 7

Most of the time when you preach against sin, people misquote “he that is without sin cast the first stone” or ” don’t judge my sin.” But in reality preaching against sin is powerful and is much different that throwing rocks or condemning them.

Black Church? White Church?

I refuse to verbally participate in the divide and conquer church racism. There is no black church, there is no white church. It’s not in the Bible. It wasn’t at Azusa Street. It’s garbage, a deception, a thief and a robber and I won’t tolerate it.

Genesis 11
Acts 2
John 10

Industry vs Ministry

There’s a huge difference between a business that corrupts Kingdom ministry, and a ministry that conducts Kingdom business.

They take you in entirely different directions.

Proverbs 9
10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

The fear of the Lord is crucial, but its just the start. The knowledge of the Holy takes you further and allows you to be more effective and fruitful. It gives you the understanding to bring everything together.

The Glory of the Cross

Yielding, submitting, obeying and surrendering are just as valuable to God as winning, succeeding, overcoming and conquering is to us. – Thea Hogue

If You Don’t have any Problems with the Devil, Congratulations!

If You Don’t have any Problems with the Devil, or with people inspired by the devil (with spirit of the world) then Congratulations to you!

You’re probably not advancing the kingdom of God either.

1 Corinthians 16
9 For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries.

You might even be serving the devil… Why would he try to stop someone who’s serving him?

1 Peter 5
8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

But when you are bringing pure revelation that advances the kingdom of God to people that need it, you have to resist the devil with your declarations and actions of faith.

John 15
18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

When you follow Jesus Christ those that have the spirit of the world are guaranteed to hate you. They hated Jesus first.

Stand Firm!

Is Hallelujah Really the Highest Praise?

“Is Hallelujah the Highest Praise”

Hallelujah is not the praise, its the “commandment” or “encouragement” to praise. When you say “Hallelujah”, you are saying “everybody praise God”.

If I say “tell me your name!” you don’t repeat “tell me your name!” you just do it, you say your name…

To praise God is to retell God’s glorious characteristics and character, basically telling of His name. In the Psalms when David or Moses or Asaph says “Hallelujah” they are exhorting you to speak out your remembrance of God’s goodness and characteristics and the things He did.

So when people say “Hallelujah is the Highest praise” I’m not too sure what they mean. Are they saying “the commandment to praise is the highest form of praise?” I don’t know if that makes sense. There’s nothing in the Bible that actually says that.

If somebody says “Praise God” or “Hallelujah” to me that means I need to think about God and vocalize what He has done and who He really is.

Conclusion:

“Hallelujah” is the praise leader telling you what to do, then (hopefully) leading by example. Its your job to actually do it.

It’s a big misunderstanding and it could make our praise a lot more powerful and build up our souls so much more if we understood how to really praise God without wasting words. Knowledge of the Holy is Understanding!

Ignoring Spiritual Laws Kills the Masses

If I’m an engineer designing an airplane and I ignore the laws of physics, eventually I’m going to kill a mass of people.

Or better yet if I buy an airplane company and ignore my engineers, and push a plane into the market that’s my own idea, I’m going to kill a mass of people.

People that claim to be designing, leading, or doing ministry – but they don’t know the Word of God or the Holiness of God, or the spiritual laws of the Kingdom of God – are killing masses spiritually as we speak.

A clever idea, talent, and money is much different from an anointing and vision from God. The results are different too.

Matthew 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

25 Behold, I have told you before.
