Focus on the Remnant not the Rejects

I thank God for the growing and strong remnant of believers that have a desire to worship God in Spirit and in Truth.

My prayer is that they stand strong in purity and grow their families and churches in everlasting fruitfulness. Focus on the remnant not the rejects.

Titus 3
10 A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;

11 Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.

TITHING for the Right Purpose

You can hate on the tithe all you want, but the fact remains that giving away 10% or more of your income to – 1. Connect people with their Creator and 2. Serve the poor & needy – is the absolute quickest and most effective way to transform YOUR OWN LIFE and transform your community for good.

Spiritual laws don’t change, they are supposed to get clearer as time moves on and God reveals them. Acting like they don’t exist is beyond dumb.

Spiritual laws work whether you understand them or not. They work whether you are hurt & wounded or not. They work whether you are emotional or not. They work whether you like them or not. Try to get an understanding of the Word of God instead of fighting against it.

Sometimes when ppl get duped into giving into a false ministry, they become against giving altogether. Then they become even more unfruitful and selfish. Even some unbelievers have enough sense not to stop giving to charity.

You can call it tithing, giving, honoring, or charity, or “firstfruiting”. Make up your own word if you want, it doesn’t matter, just do it.

Proverbs 3
9 Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:

10 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.

It’s so funny how people claim not to believe in tithing but they end up blowing money on the god they serve regardless. They’ll give to the god of materialism, sports, or intellectualism. The only difference is, when they tithe to the Casino and Alcohol and Music Industry gods… Families and Communities are destroyed. Excess contribution to intellectualism, sports, and materialism also helps destroy the nation.

Checks & Balances

Part of the reason tithing is good for us to “learn from” is because it makes you research what the tithe was used for. It was used to support the teachers, the singers & musicians, the poor, and the building. This puts the responsibility and accountability on the pastor to actually use the money right, because it’s not just a personal “gift” for him. This creates a system of checks and balances that ends up giving God all the glory instead of allowing people to commit idolatry according to what they choose to give to:

– People that think giving to God means giving to the preacher, usually treat the oratory-talented high performance hypocrite preacher as God.

– People that only contribute towards music usually view singing stars as gods, and they will follow the singers and musicians wherever they go, even if it’s straight to sporitual adultery and Babylon’s music industry.

– Rich people see themselves as god, so they skip the church and only give directly to the poor and charities.

– And materialistic covetous churches are always using and raising excessive portions of church money for a bigger building so they can get more people and more money.

But when you balance church finances out under the leadership of God, using His wisdom, God gets the glory, his gospel is preached, he is worshipped in purity, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.

Where’s YOUR Ground Zero in these Last Days?

Where’s YOUR Ground Zero in these Last Days?

Don’t get it twisted or confused! The things that are going on right here in America are every bit as serious as what’s going on with Israel, the Middle East, Africa, and China.

Whether you look at Matthew 24, the book of Revelations, or Paul’s warnings in his epistles… The spiritual deception and false prophets among US are just as important and as serious to Jesus as the wars & rumors of wars, persecution and murder of Christians, and famines& earthquakes.

For instance, in Matthew 24, when Jesus was teaching about the last days… He mentioned 3 categories of drama that would be going on:

SPIRITUAL DRAMA– deception, false prophets, iniquity, cold love
POLITICAL DRAMA – wars & rumors of wars, persecution
NATURE DRAMA – earthquakes, famine, pestilence, etc

Notice that all these different types of drama are important in His teaching… and they all are intermingled as one. If scripture is taken seriously, then the false prophets and spiritual wolves of the Western church are just as serious to God as the persecuted church, famines, pestilences & ebola viruses, wars & rumors of wars that are going on in Middle East, Africa, Asia… No, the Western Church doesn’t have it easy! We actually might have the most difficult battle of all.

People keep saying “war & persecution might come to the US soon…” not realizing that spiritually, our war is already here!

God sees all, and if we seek Him to get His perspective and His heart… We will not avoid the battles right in front of us while we pray and intercede for Believers in other nations. No cop outs in the Kingdom! We are all in this together! We have to fight the battles in front of us WHILE we pray for and support the Body of Christ Worldwide.

What to Do:
1. PRAY for and STAND AGAINST false prophets, false apostles, and false teachers right here in America. Find and Support a pure group of believers with a focus on Jesus and a passion for holiness. Don’t tolerate mixture, dead men’s bones, covetousness or hypocrisy.
2. PRAY for persecuted believers in other nations and stand with them in the Spirit. Support ministries that go and help them.
3. PRAY for the peace of Jerusalem and the Salvation of Israel. This is the city and nation that Jesus Christ will rule and bless the earth from.
4. If you don’t do step #1, don’t waste your time with #2 or #3.

Excited about Christian music?

Grow Up

Baby Christians are so excited when Christian music does well, as if that means anything different is happening.

Whether you look at sales, influence, or where the industry draws (aka steals) their talent from, Christian music and Christian musicians have always done well.

The only difference now is that the Spirit of Wisdom and advances in technology have leveled the playing field and made the comparisons easier.

This can be a good thing, but if you don’t have the heart of God, the increase in technology can also be a bad thing. Because now mixture is easier, compromise is easier, syncretism is easier, hypocrisy is easier, false converts are easier to get, and Sheeps clothing is easier for the wolves to wear! Meanwhile God is still looking for true worshipers who will worship Him in spirit and in truth.

Look for Real Fruit

Christians have always made quality music. God is the creator, and the world has always stolen from our music and our musicians and singers.

Let me know when the artists, producers, singers & musicians have Godly families and Godly children and praying churches instead of homosexuality, divorce, adultery, apostasy, dead men’s bones, and the love of the world.

Real Godly fruit and corrupt fruit always shows up over time. In Matthew 11, Jesus said “Wisdom is justified by her children.”

Spiritual Reprobates LOVE anointed and godly music. Obeying the Word – not so much.

5 Reasons the Fruits of Earthly Minded Ministries are Corrupt and Poisonous:

– 2 Cor. 10 comparing yourself to others, especially the world is not wise.

– Romans 10. Faith comes by hearing the (Rhema) Word of God, that is spoken by a preacher, not a hypocrite. Matthew 23 Pharisees made converts that were twice as hell bound as they were – because they were hypocrites (covetous talented actors).

– John 15 The world only loves it’s own, so distancing your ministry from the church and from the name of Jesus to get success in the world is not Christlike at all.

– Matt 11 wisdom is justified by its children. Wait 7 years. The fruit of this type of “ministry” has been family and church destruction for generations. Look at the lives of Christian music stars since the music industry started (even Rosetta Tharpe and James Cleveland). Divorce, homosexuality, adultery, rebellious children, etc.

-‪ 1 Cor 13 Love rejoices NOT in iniquity (Satans original iniquity is self promotion of his talent and merchandising skills over obedience to God see Ezekiel 28 ), but rejoices in truth.

Solomon Loved Many Strange Women

Ecclesiastes 8:1
Who is as the wise man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? a man’s wisdom maketh his face to shine, and the boldness of his face shall be changed.

1 Kings 11
1 But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites:

2 Of the nations concerning which the Lord said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in unto you: for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon clave unto these in love.

3 And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines: and his wives turned away his heart.

4 For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, as was the heart of David his father.

Don’t Let Wisdom Push You Too Far

Wisdom can help you out a lot… It can make you attractive and give you confidence. If you use it, it can produce results.

But all the wisdom in the world won’t help you if you choose not to use it and you choose to love many strange women.

Don’t Work Like a Worried Gentile

Better to have one handful with quietness, than two handfuls with travail and vexation of spirit. – Ecclesiastes 4:6

I hate working like a worried gentile – I love working with diligence and wisdom, then entering into Gods rest. #sabbath

Matthew 6
31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Comparing Black People and White People and Chinese People

Comparing yourself to others is a distraction that usually leads to an alternating mixture of pride and depression.

Comparing yourself to the Word of God keeps you focused and gives you hope in the fear of the Lord.

This applies to you, your family, your church, your “people”, your nationality, your nation, etc…

Never let the devil get you into a whirlwind of comparison. It’s not wise. Stay focused on the Word of God and produce fruit.

2 Corinthians 10
12 For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.

Although I understand the need to help our people maximize our potential and express the fullness of what God has called us to be… I grow weary of hearing about “black people need to do this”, “white people need to do that”, “‘Merica needs to do this because the Chinese are doing that.”

When you look at the word of God, you see the problem AND you can see the solution. When you constantly compare yourself with others, you see the problem and you see OTHER problems. That only compounds the problems.

No one will ever maximize who they are created by God to be – or ever truly have unity with others – while they are too busy comparing themselves to others. We are all made in the image of God, so focus on Him and eventually you will learn to be like Him.

You Become Like What You Behold

2 Corinthians 3
18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
