Only the Spirit Can Give Life

John 6
63 It is the spirit that quickeneth (gives life); the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

All the great works that we do for God while ignoring and resisting the Spirit of God and supplanting and replacing the Word of God are worthless and unprofitable – even if they make money and draw crowds. Only the Spirit can give life.

Don’t Listen to the False Prophets of America

False prophets will say whatever it takes to seem peaceful for you and for their agenda. True messengers will say whatever God says to get you to turn from sin (obvious) and iniquity (hidden), and to be confident in GOD not in their gift or intellect or talent.

 

Jeremiah  23

16 This is what the Lord Almighty says:

Do not listen to what the prophets are prophesying to you;
    they fill you with false hopes.
They speak visions from their own minds,
not from the mouth of the Lord.
17 They keep saying to those who despise me,
    ‘The Lord says: You will have peace.’
And to all who follow the stubbornness of their hearts
    they say, ‘No harm will come to you.’
18 But which of them has stood in the council of the Lord
to see or to hear his word?
Who has listened and heard his word?
19 See, the storm of the Lord
will burst out in wrath,
a whirlwind swirling down
on the heads of the wicked.
20 The anger of the Lord will not turn back
until he fully accomplishes
the purposes of his heart.
In days to come
you will understand it clearly.
21 I did not send these prophets,
yet they have run with their message;
I did not speak to them,
yet they have prophesied.
22 But if they had stood in my council,
    they would have proclaimed my words to my people
and would have turned them from their evil ways
    and from their evil deeds.

Truth is the Rock

Its only when you focus on Jesus Christ that you can see reality and truth, and know what to do and say. If you focus on the storm, you sink with the spiritual demonic storm. If you focus on the flood of people, you flow and get swept away with the flood of ignorant peoples opinions… Selah.

Why Did it take a Sport Columnist to Say what a Preacher should be saying?

“Criticizing Jay-Zesus is a sin in the black community. He’s been approved by our President. Jay-Z’s wealth, to some, means he can do no wrong.” – Jason Whitlock

“Jay-Z’s success and his exalted status in the black community speak to the power of our self-hatred, delusional ignorance and unwillingness to learn from our history.

There’s always been a comfy bed, a pretty belly-warmer and a bright spotlight at the big house for the black performer willing to entertain the masses with n*gga tales.”  – Jason Whitlock

“Jay-Z is not slang for Jesus. Hova is no one’s savior…. He’s highly compensated to spin catchy fairy tales that promote the self-destructive notion that the path out of black American poverty and into the American Dream is through the drug trade and criminality.

Our political system — on the right and left — is so bankrupt of ethics that President Obama has zero shame about embracing the king of black-denigration music.” – Jason Whitlock

“Jay-Z is the holy grail of n*gga rap, the proper name for the genre of music that made Shawn Carter one of our president’s best friends. Oh, I’m sure that’s upsetting and disconcerting for some of you to read. You’d prefer I label the Jigga Man a gangsta rapper. He isn’t. He’s a n*gga rapper. Listen to his music.

On the opening track of “Magna Carta”, a song dominated by Timberlake’s singing, Jay-Z pops in just enough to rattle off “n*gga” eight times. He’s perfected the art form of repeatedly saying the N-word over slickly produced musical beats while telling stories about fame, fortune, family and a former life of crime.” – Jason Whitlock

People that curse themselves as a “term of endearment” and “entertainment” have no authority when they cry about “injustice…” This is not because its wrong to have a right opinion, but because consistency is powerful, and hypocrisy is weak. If you support it, you are it. – SOSpression

The most horrible punishment on earth is a hardened heart. (Kiss the Son)

The most horrible punishment on earth is a hardened heart.

Even as the evidence mounts up… a hardened heart cannot repent. They continue boldly in their delusion, spreading iniquity, and apostasy so that they can finally be destroyed.

Think of Pharoah. Every time God exercised His power over their idolatry, his heart got harder.

Think of Nebuchadnezzar. God had to turn him into a wild beast to get him to understand His power.

Think of those unbelievers in Revelations. God is displaying His power all over the planet, and they still refuse to repent.

You would much rather stop yourself than continue in iniquity… Communicate with God, humble yourself, lower your attitude, try to pray, read the bible, and just check if there is anything you need to change, even if you are not sure.

If you are in sin and iniquity and you don’t repent, God just might make your heart even harder.

And that’s a fate worse than death, because it makes death worse.

Psalm 2

King James Version (KJV)

1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?

2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying,

3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.

4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.

5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.

6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.

7 I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.

8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.

9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.

10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.

11 Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

Rick Renner Sounds the Alarm on Facebook

Its the last days, people have supplanted the truth for easy popularity based branding and marketing… and now they are filled with delusion and apostasy. I’ve seen this happen with my own two eyes in my generation (in a holy hip hop movement that was called to walk in the Spirit of Elijah, now it’s filled with the spirit of Jezebel and Babylon) and its growing fast. Its not just in music it has spread unchecked to evangelism, churches, families… A little bit of leaven, leavens the whole lump.

If we don’t stand now when will we stand?

Yesterday the Spirit of God moved on Rick Renner to sound these same alarms to the Body of Christ.

Rick Renner Sounds the Alarm on Facebook:

RickRenner_Thought1

HERE’S A THOUGHT: Pure preaching of doctrine has been so replaced by motivating, uplifting messages that the majority of people in the pews are ignorant of the most elementary aspects of New Testament doctrine. Often those who occupy the pulpits, while masterful communicators and rate highly among motivational messages, they themselves are not educated in basic bible principles or no longer preach it because it isn’t as popular as other types of messages. As a result, a drift from the bible continues unabated and doctrinal vacuum is being created in the church that is filled with exceptional business ideas, motivational messages, but not Word that the Holy Spirit is bound to confirm with signs and wonders. Some of what is preached is helpful, but the same help could be purchased in a book by a psychological guru. It isn’t the Bible – and when everything is said and done, only the Bible has the power to permanently transform. — RICK RENNER

A few hours later he goes on to describe the Judgement of Jesus that always takes place when the Church is corrupted:

RickRenner_Thought2

ANOTHER THOUGHT: Two thousands years of Church history have proven that the Church always comes forth purer than gold and mightier in the Spirit if it stands by the side of truth. But where the truth is negotiated, it results in spiritual corruption and powerlessness. When this occurs it affects those within the church and makes the church vulnerable to attacks that it would normally survive. Christ offers the choice to repent or to suffer the consequences of divine judgment. Repentance is God’s first choice, but if they will not heed and obey Christ’s orders, He will not hesitate to begin the process of extricating the diseased members and thereby restore the church to a healthy condition so that it may continue to be the light in darkness He designed for it to be. — RICK RENNER

At what point do you realize that if you have not recognized and separated from the deception – that you are probably a part of it?

Psalm 94

14 For the Lord will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.

15 But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it.

16 Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?

 

Its encouraging to see fearless voices for Truth rising up that actually know the Scriptures and the Power of God. His Mercy and Truth endures to every generation.‪#‎7000thatwillnotbow‬ ‪#‎killingidols‬

Identity and Security

Wolves get their identity and security from their pack.

Sheep get their identity and security from their Shepherd.

Real Leadership

It’s easy to be a leader when all you do is give the people whatever they want. God honoring leadership takes much more character than that.

3 Scriptures You Need to Understand about Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin

3 Scriptures You Need to Understand about the Zimmerman Case

Proverbs 3
30 Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm.

31 Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.

32 For the froward is abomination to the Lord: but his secret is with the righteous.

A. If someone initiates a conflict with no cause, then ends a conflict with murder, BIBLICALLY the person who initiates the conflict and ends it is guilty of manslaughter if not murder.

B. BIBLICALLY, there are oppressors in the earth that oppress others with systematic injustice.

C. Righteous people are instructed not to Envy Oppressors, and CHOOSE NONE OF THEIR WAYS. Don’t try to be like them, and don’t do what they do.

D. God has ways of punishing those that are abominable to him. One way he punishes oppressors is by giving them wicked leadership that destroys their nation from the inside. Or by giving them confusion and ignorance so they move forward boldly in their error and destroy themselves. God is never mocked, and people will always reap what they sow (Galatians 6).

E. As Christians we walk in the fruits of the Spirit – love, joy, peace, etc… (Galatians 5) And let God bless us with His secrets, His presence, etc. Vengeance is Gods. We don’t need to fear or retaliate, just to walk in Gods love and authority and watch God take over!

“But I thought Christians were supposed to follow the conservative party hook line and sinker, and unite against the liberal media?”

In order to believe the “conservative” version of the story and the “verdict”, you have to believe this:

The “non-aggressor” was warned by the authorities NOT to chase the “aggressor.”

That’s a non-sense statement. Of course in real life, the aggressor was the one doing the persecuting or pursuing. If chasing someone who did nothing to you is not an act of aggression, I don’t know what is.

If you believe that Zimmerman – who was warned by authorities not to chase Trayvon but did it anyway – was not the aggressor, you are violating and hardening your own conscience. You are imagining and assuming that Zimmerman did not start the fight, and you are lying to yourself.

He chased him but did not tackle or touch him? Zimmerman chased Trayvon, but Trayvon did not feel threatened and therefore did not have a right to defend himself… but Zimmerman did. Really?

What this Means for the Nation:

The saddest part of this whole Zimmerman case is the conservatives that rejoice in the shedding of innocent blood going unpunished, and they don’t even realize that they may have just cursed their own selves to 8 additional years of abortion and wicked leadership for our nation. What conservative is going to win an election that can be linked to supporting Zimmerman? They stay hypocritical, and then blame the failures of the nation on everybody else.

You have no authority to stop the shedding of innocent blood (abortion) when you rejoice in it (Trayvon) going unpunished. Innocent blood has the power to unite a nation for justice (Judges 19), but it divided ours. Another opportunity for reconciliation missed. So pretty much the only chance for righteous leader in America is someone who is not a wicked liberal, or a conservative hypocrite. Is there anyone out there? Dr. Ben Carson may be the guy, only God knows. The church is making inroads against abortion because of obedience to the Word, but if we keep falling for political lies the progress will cease.

Here’s a testimony of one of the jurors sharing how she felt manipulated by the Florida’s interpretation and reading of the law even though the evidence clearly showed that Zimmerman was guilty of manslaughter (a lower degree of murder).

God is not mocked. This nation needs spiritual violence – repentance, fasting, prayer… Or there will way too much natural violence very soon.

Here’s another message from earlier this week that had nothing to do with the Trayvon case but it’s way too eerie how it fits so perfectly: https://sospression.com/2013/07/10/everybody-wants-the-change-but-who-wants-the-violence/

Here’s a Video of George Zimmerman with Sean Hannity saying that it was God’s Plan for him to kill Trayvon Martin. This is an example of the delusion and hardness of heart that is an actual punishment from God on your soul.

More proof that everything hidden will be revealed soon: Florida Medical Examiner Blows Whistle on Corruption in the Trayvon Martin Case

After thousands of conservative hypocrites get behind you with financial support, and exchange God’s Laws for the rules of lawyers to get you free. You start to feel invincible and start to mistreat your wife – says Shellie Zimmerman.

Conservative hero  George Zimmerman strikes again pulling a gun on his wife and father in law… what a sad day for our great kountry. I mean, if the right is wrong… who’s right? Maybe that could be why things are messed up, no?

Messiah Complex

If believing, obeying, and following the works and person of Jesus Christ is a “Messiah Complex”, then everybody should have a messiah complex.

As a matter of fact, that’s what a “Christian” is, a bunch of people with messiah complexes worshipping and imitating Christ.

Even the term “Christian” started out as a pejorative, disrespectful term very similar to “messiah complex.”
