Don’t Take the Bait; Leaders Rise ABOVE Insults

Pastors: Some saints would rather be spiritually abused than spiritually matured. Don’t take the bait. Teach and Lead by Example.
πŸ™πŸ½β€πŸ”ŸπŸ‘‘πŸ“–

Some people are used to being disrespected, so they will disrespect you, hoping that you will disrespect them back – just so they can say “he disrespected me.”

Some people are used to being cursed out, so they will curse you out, hoping that you will curse them out – just so they can say “he cursed me out.”

Some people are used to being manipulated and lied to, so they will manipulate and lie to you, hoping that you will manipulate and lie to them – just so they can say “he manipulated and lied to me.”

Some people only know leadership by emotional abuse and manipulation.

They aren’t used to leadership by example, straightforward communication, and discipline.

When they get frustrated they will give you what they used to get, hoping you will give it back. Don’t Retaliate!

Don’t Take the Bait! Be Glorious!

Proverbs 19:11 The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.
#beglorious

Luke 6:28 Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.

1 Peter 3:9 Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.

In Marriage, In Ministry, At Work:

DON’T TAKE THE BAIT!

Prove that You are a Child of God!

Rise ABOVE Insults!

Forgive 70×7 everyday!

If refusing to manipulate, control, abuse, or seduce people makes me a weak leader; then I’ll be completely satisfied with being a good & faithful servant. #servantleadership

Do the Hard Stuff so the Fun Stuff Happens

I am convinced that you will not excel at anything spiritual, mental, physical, relational, technical, or professional unless you become comfortable with the boring, dull, tedious, mundane, and unexciting, fundamental DISCIPLINES within that area.

A mind that runs from DISCIPLINE – and instead constantly seeks novelty, fun, and stimulation – is destined to be subpar and underproductive, with its growth unnecessarily retarded.

Run from the hard stuff, nothing happens.
Do the hard stuff so the fun stuff happens.

A House United is Protected

A House United is Protected

Why would I have to make a choice between obeying the Father or obeying the Son?

Why would I have to make a choice between following the Scriptures or listening to the Holy Spirit?

Why would I have to make a choice between preaching the gospel of Jesus or submitting to the order of Jesus?

If you have an enemy trying to break into your house, he’s going to come into whatever door or window you leave open!

The devil does not care whether we let him in thru the front door, the back door, the side door, or the window.

A house divided against itself cannot stand!

We need to stop trying to divide the Kingdom and make the choice to do ALL OF YAH’s WILL – TOGETHER!

I’m excited about what Yah is doing right now opening the eyes of mighty men in several cities all over the earth to His COMPLETE Will and Purpose.

Ephesians 4:4 There is ONE BODY, and ONE SPIRIT, even as ye are called in ONE HOPE OF YOUR CALLING;
5 ONE LORD, ONE FAITH, ONE BAPTISM,
6 ONE GOD AND FATHER OF ALL, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

Maybe God’s Natural Laws Do Matter? πŸ€”

The apostate churches have been telling us for years that God’s natural food and creation laws don’t matter.

Then when thousands are killed in hospitals, we turn to media sorcery and medical sorcery…and then thousands are killed through needles; while people with God’s natural wisdom are healing themselves with ginger, limes, vitamin c, plantain leaf tea, and fasting.

Maybe the Natural Laws of the Most High do matter?πŸ€”

Maybe they matter for exactly what they were designed to matter for?πŸ€·πŸΏβ€β™‚οΈ

Genesis 1:29
And God said, Behold, I have given you every HERB BEARING SEED, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; TO YOU IT SHALL BE FOR MEAT.

Revelation 22:2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the LEAVES OF THE TREE WERE FOR THE HEALING OF THE NATIONS.

Isaiah 58:8 Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and THINE HEALTH SHALL SPRING FORTH SPEEDILY: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the Lord shall be thy reward.

Zechariah 8:19 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; The FAST of the fourth month, and the FAST of the fifth, and the FAST of the seventh, and the FAST of the tenth, shall be to the house of Judah joy and gladness, and cheerful feasts; therefore love the truth and peace.

Proverbs 4:22 For they are life unto those that find them, and HEALTH TO ALL THEIR FLESH.

Hosea 4:6 My people are DESTROYED FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

Humility, Obedience, and Haughtiness

One byproduct of simple obedience to God is that it exposes our inner iniquities of pride, vanity, envy, rebellion, and self-will.

One of the simplest ways to walk in humility is simply to obey God and let Him humble you in the process of your obedience.

Obey the Commandments of the Most High, Obey the Gospel of Jesus Christ, Obey the Commandments of Jesus Christ, obey the Ordinances of Jesus Christ, and Obey the leading of the Holy Spirit.

The Word of God will fill you with joy and set you apart at the same time.

There will be conflict with others as you press into humility through obedience.

Whatever God likes – keep doing, even if it makes you humble. Whatever the devil hates – keep doing, even if people with the devil in them don’t like it.

Allow God to remove those that are haughty from your presence, because He already removed them from His presence first.

Ezekiel 16:50 And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good.

Isaiah 66:5 Hear the word of the Lord, ye that tremble at his word; Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name’s sake, said, Let the Lord be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed.

Jeremiah 15:16 Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O Lord God of hosts.

17 I sat not in the assembly of the mockers, nor rejoiced; I sat alone because of thy hand: for thou hast filled me with indignation.

Luke 6:22 Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man’s sake.

Isaiah 57:15 For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

James 4:6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.

7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.

1 Corinthians 1:29 That no flesh should glory in his presence.

 
Proverbs 16:19 Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.

Romans 12:16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.

Psalms 131: 1 Lord, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me.

2 Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child.

3 Let Israel hope in the Lord from henceforth and for ever.

The hardest thing to do is walk in humility and submission when you have made a name for yourSelf in conceit and rebellion. #GodcanHelp

Humility shouldn’t cause Depression. If it does, ask YAH for deliverance from the devil. Lowliness and Serving is a Joy IF Christ is In You.πŸ™πŸ½

Reversing Your Cognitive Dissonance (Softening a Hard Heart)

REVERSING YOUR COGNITIVE DISSONANCE (Softening a Hard Heart)

When your foundational understandings of the most important issues of life (spiritual health, mental health, physical health, and relationships) that you’ve fought for, debated for, and despised other people for, start to unravel and be exposed as lies, your first instincts are to:

– disappear and get quiet
– start changing the subject
– start cracking jokes about sports or entertainment or fashion or food
– start talking about your money and your other successes in life
– harden your heart and dive deeper into the lies you believed
– harden your heart and create your own story about the lies you believed.

This is called Cognitive Dissonance.

If you don’t reverse it, your heart will stay hardened and ignorant forever. You will be permanently blind in your soul.

Here’s what to do instead:

– Admit that you were lied to about the spiritual, mental, physical, and relational realities of life.
– Admit you believed the lies out of your own ignorance.
– Apologize to the person that told you the truth for not believing the truth.
– Adjust your life in accordance to the truth that you have now discovered.

In other words:

Say this to the Most High GodπŸ‘‡πŸΎπŸ‘‡πŸΎπŸ‘‡πŸΎ
Jeremiah 16:19 O Lord, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit.

And this do this with the people that told you the truth when you despised it πŸ‘‡πŸΎπŸ‘‡πŸΎπŸ‘‡πŸΎ

SoSpression TV Interview with Ray UNHINGED!

Much thanks to my friend Pastor Ray Anderson for hosting me on his show “Ray UNHINGED!”

Take some time to watch the show as we get a little UNHINGED talking about the movements of God in the past and the near future!

On live TV, you can say some things that are unclear.

One thing I said is that “His Commandments give us life.” The Scripture behind that is:

Proverbs 13:14 The law of the wise is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.

Even in the New Covenant Doctrine it is clear that the Commandments minister death to our Flesh, so that the Spirit can give us Life. Also that the Law is a Schoolmaster to lead us to Christ.

Therefore while the Commandments cannot save us on their own, they do LEAD us to Life in Christ, and protect us from the Lawlessness and Disobedience of the spirit of antiChrist.

Jesus is Sending Prophets, and Wise Men, and Scribes

Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes. Matthew 23:34a

Jesus has sent to this generation:
– Prophets to speak His words
– Wise men to build His assemblies
– Scribes to write His words

Rejecting either of these gifts is rejecting Jesus Himself.

Prophets: Speak His Words Faithfully!
Wise men: Make Disciples and Build His Congregations Faithfully!
Scribes: Record and Publish His Words Faithfully!

Strange Women are a Weapon of God

When God abhors a man and wants to punish a man, the man will fall into this deep ditch called the mouth of a strange woman.

Proverbs 22:14 The mouth of strange women is a deep pit: he that is abhorred of the Lord shall fall therein.

When God abhors a wicked man, He sends him a strange woman to seduce him to have sex with him, make his life hell, and take him to hell with her.

Proverbs 7:26 For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her.
27 Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.

When a man pleases God, he is easily able to escape the bands of the strange woman.

Ecclesiastes 7: 26 And I find more bitter than death the woman, whose heart is snares and nets, and her hands as bands: whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her.

Nothing In Me

Spiritual Maturity is when the only thing the devil can do is lie ABOUT YOU… because he can’t lie TO YOU, and he has nothing IN YOU.

Look at our example – King Jesus:

John 14:30
Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath NOTHING IN ME.

Now is NOT the time to let the devil in anyone else drag you into their contention, confusion, rebellion, disobedience, and depression.

Now is the time to Press toward the Mark for the prize of the high calling in Christ Jesus!

Before the devil comes to this world on another level, make sure he has nothing in you.
