Hands UP – Don’t ABORT!

Hypocrisy and Innocent Blood ABOUNDS in America.

Lives matter in the womb.
And they matter when they are teens and men that don’t dress like you, even if they may have done wrong.

Everyone deserves a chance at life.

Don’t Let Past Injustices Trap Your Mind

A nation that turns the gospel into genocide also turns their heritage into hell.

Many people are already burning in hell for the atrocities they committed in the past, whether overt (rosewood, black wall street, genocide, slavery) or covert (redlining, planned parenthood, systematic discrimination).

They are already reaping what they sowed. Its very important to have a knowledge of history, but our primary focus should be to bring repentance and forgiveness for the sins that we face today.

Don’t worry about the sins and injustices that people are already burning in hell for. Focus on applying repentance, the Cross, the blood of Jesus, and forgiveness to the sins that are right in front of your face.

Neither anger or wrath, nor racism or a prideful superiority complex can ever advance a family, people, city, or nation. The gospel of Christ, the Spirit of Wisdom, diligence, prudence, character, and Love are the only things that can truly advance a family, people, city, or nation.

Creating a CULTURE of Biblical literacy is the best thing you can do for your family, church, and community.

When a people finds its spiritual calling, it also finds elevation in its natural calling. This is where the spirit of wisdom starts to develop and you start to see diligence, prudence, character, and savings. Then when you get savings you get business ideas. Then when you have business and protection of those businesses, you can advance your family and your community. The wisdom comes from God, and the savings (inheritance) comes from your parents or your employer or customers.

Ecclesiastes 7:11
Wisdom is good with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun.

Ultimately God holds the wisdom in His hands, and advancement only comes from our sacrificed lives given to Jesus. God will make sure that you reap what you have sown.

Both Sides Must Submit: Taking a Balanced View

People need to know how to submit to authority and trust God… But people are also responding to a pattern they see in the media.

copsinvestigation

There are biblical standards for police and government. There are constitutional standards. There are policies that police departments have on paper. But what the people see is a consistent pattern that none of that matters.

Government and Police need to know that God is watching them, and their consequences can be just as severe as what they inflict on the people.

God always replaces corrupt governments when the people trust in Him. He can send another nation to get it done, or a civil war like He did with the South.

We need to pray, obey, and make sure things change by speaking the Word of God with our authority in Christ.

Politically Speaking:

What conservatives don’t realize is that most of them are falling into the bait. Liberals are manipulating their minds, playing chess and they don’t even know it.

As soon as Obama got elected for the last time, you see Trayvon, Mike Brown, Eric Garner… etc. They are fanning a flame that will make it hard for a hypocritical conservative to be elected.

Nobody is going to vote for someone they feel supported killing Trayvon, Mike Brown, Eric Garner, a 12 year old… The media is pumping these things up so conservatives can continue to make themselves look like uncompassionate hypocrites… That’s why taking a balanced view is so important. If you can be baited into displaying hypocrisy, you always lose to the popular opinion.

Whoever frames the discussion Wins the discussion

Whoever frames the discussion Wins the discussion.

We have to allow the Bible, not the media, to set the framework for our discussions on solving the problems we face.

You will never win or solve any problems that you allow the media to set the framework for. The media is set up specifically for the purpose of entertainment and endless political controversy and debate. It draws ratings, eyes, ears, and commercial spending.

If I walk into a room full of high school kids that are white and say “You guys will never receive an A in my algebra class until you solve this white-on-white lust problem.” I can really just walk out the back door and laugh at them. I’ve created a framework for them to discuss that has nothing to do with the problem, and distracted them from the resolution at the same time. I can really just walk out the back door and let them entertain themselves and argue about who’s lusting after who while I laugh at them.

Are they supposed to lust after other races instead? Will the answers to the algebraic equations all the sudden jump into their head when they figure out how to stop lusting?

media brainwashing

Biblically speaking, crime is a sin problem. Crime in the inner-city is not about black on black crime, it’s about sinner-on-sinner crime. Ive been to the courthouses and ministered in the juvenile systems. The white boys listen to the same curse filled music and lack the same family structure just like the black boys. There is just as much white on white crime as there is black on black crime. Color is not an issue NOR is it a talking point.

Secondarily, crime is a poverty issue. Proverbs 30 the Bible says “Lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain.” The implication is that the poor have more temptation to steal. Poverty drives up crime and violence, as people find alternative ways to eat.

This whole race drama is driven by politics. So much money is driven by politics, media has to push the drama because the more passionate people are, the more businesses and political parties have to spend on commercials.

Entertainers are hypocrites too because it’s their lust and sin filled music and movies that help empower the problems they claim to be passionate about solving. Nobody wants to hear about Jesus. The solution HAS to be squashed. Drama has to be kept up so the money ratings and album sales and commercials can keep flowing.

Politics and entertainment will always push black versus white issues because it is an unsolvable problem. It’s a fake framework. They leave the room and laugh while they collect the checks and we discuss their endless debates that cannot be solved.

We cannot allow the media and entertainment to create a framework for the discussion on problems that we need to solve. We need to allow the Bible to form the talking points for our discussions. Then we can start to solve problems.

Yes everyone needs to clean our own front doors, family is first… But my point is, when you allow someone else to frame the problem and the discussion in a way that makes sure the solution is never found, the problem can never be solved.

There is only one race and ONE BLOOD. There is a sin problem in that one race. There is a poverty problem. There is a greed and idolatry problem. There is a problem with fathers training and loving their children. JESUS CHRIST is the solution to ALL OF THE ABOVE.

Proverbs 22:2
The rich and the poor meet together: The Lord is the maker of them all.

Government does not have a right to kill at will

Romans 13 tells us that government powers are the ministers of God. If that is true, then government ministers are to be held to a higher standard. “Kill anyone you think did something wrong, for whatever reason you want to, at any time, especially when you’re angry or scared” is neither a Biblical right, nor a Constitutional right for any government official. Governments that allow this continually, will feel the wrath of God. Always have, always will.

You hypocrites, don’t you know that the sword of the Lord cuts both ways?

Respect the police, and obey authority. If they ask for 1 mile, give them 2. God will reward you and replace wicked authority very quickly. Everyone will reap what they sow from God, whether they be black/white police/thug, from the regular person to the super rich lawyer manipulating laws with lies. God sees!

God is Calling Prophetic Voices to Graduate into Wisdom

There will always be a way to escape obedience that seems right.
There will always be a way to escape temptation that feels annoying and humble.

1 Corinthians 10:12
Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.

Let he that thinks he stands take heed lest he fall… God will test your pride and sense of self-importance.

When God calls us to graduate into a higher level of maturity and obedience, and we resist Him and hold onto our pride, we will soon be left behind His perfect will.

Yahusha never told us to gain followers, He said to make disciples. Those who are not willing to be disciplined are useless for His Kingdom.🔟👑

In this season God is calling many prophetic voices into higher levels of maturity, accountability, responsibility, wisdom and fruitfulness. I don’t claim to be a prophet, but we all are called to speak for God (1 Peter 4). God has been instructing me on stepping up my levels of discipline, discretion, and wisdom. We have been teaching along these lines in our ministry, and I have noticed a lot of shifting in the past couple of months in the Body of Christ.

If we keep following our emotions, what will happen when God no longer inspires our emotions? What if He starts requiring us to just obey His wisdom with no feelings, no goosebumps? Will we try to manufacture our own convictions? Or will we graduate and seek His wisdom?

Prophetic people need to realize that God also requires wisdom at a certain point. We can be the greatest teachers in the world, or the most accurate prophets in the world, but 1 Corinthians 13 says that we know partially and we prophesy partially.

No one is complete by themselves in terms of the Body of Christ. Sometimes, God will give the revelation to one person, the interpretation to a completely different person, and then He’ll give the application to a another different person! Our Father in heaven will ensure that His children work together and walk in humility.

When we have LOVE, we can walk in HUMILITY and actually DO God’s will with others. Rejecting the wisdom of God will cause us great loss.

Jeremiah 15:19
Therefore thus saith the Lord, If thou return, then will I bring thee again, and thou shalt stand before me: and if thou take forth the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth: let them return unto thee; but return not thou unto them.

Jesus’s Response to Tragic Death

Luke 13

1There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.

2 And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things?

3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

4 Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?

5 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

Jesus’s response to Tragic Death

Just like they do today, people often want those who speak for the Lord to interpret someone’s death to mean that they were sinners “more than everyone else.”

Jesus knew this but Jesus never took the opportunity of someone’s death as a way to show that they were sinners “above all others.”

Jesus took the opportunity to say “No” to that question, and then to warn those who were living to repent because thy were headed in the exact same direction.

“NO that’s not why they died… But if you don’t repent you all will die the same way!” – Jesus

We don’t need to use anyone’s death as an opportunity to discuss their unrighteousness or righteousness in comparison to ours. We find a way to preach repentance to those who are living, because those who are living are headed for the exact same type of death.

In other places Jesus also ministered comfort, and/or resurrection in response to someone’s death. Jesus did this all for the glory of God.

Flies Chase Dead Bodies

When Myles Munroe died many jumped on the opportunity to say “he was a false teacher but we aren’t” “you shouldn’t even pray for people like that.” Their teaching is twice as false as his, IF his was.

When Mike Brown died many people took the opportunity to say “that’s what young thugs deserve…” No, that’s not what an unarmed man deserves, even if he was a thug.

This is not the way of the Lord. The way of the Lord doesn’t use opportunities to jump on and promote envy & strife between Calvinists & Charismatics, Liberals & Conservatives, Blacks & Whites, thugs & racists.

When you are on the Lord’s Side, you don’t take man’s side… you bring God’s correction to BOTH sides, you cause everyone that is STILL ALIVE to examine themselves, and you minister comfort to the hurting.

James 3
15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.

16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.

17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.

Media & Entertainment works by drama and competition. The Lions vs the Bears, the Democrats vs the Republicans, east coast vs west coast, it’s all the same. Media hypocrites promote competition because they know it draws eyes and ears, it’s fleshly human nature.

When you represent the Lord, you don’t give one-sided takes for competition sake: you take the Lords side.

Wisdom based on competition and striving between “groups” on earth is fleshly and comes from below.

Wisdom that is from above is pure, peaceable, gentle, easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

That’s why Jesus said what He said in response to tragic deaths. This is important to understand as more and more tragedies begin to happen in these last days.

Yes, Jesus came the first time not to bring peace, but a sword, but Jesus name is the only thing that should divide us. Carnal issues should not divide us. We wrestle not against flesh & blood, but principalities and powers. Taking the Lords side is bringing repentance to all men.

Boundaries Create Freedom

Wise boundaries, limits and discretion don’t restrict your freedom, they actually create and empower your freedom aka free-dominion.

Because if you can do anything, you can’t get anything done.

Proverbs 2

10 When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;

11 Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:

12 To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things;

Jesus Brings Justice without Violence

Jesus Brings Justice without Violence

Isaiah 42:1 Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth justice to the Gentiles.

2 He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.

3 A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth justice unto truth.

4 He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set justice in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.


Jesus will bring violence in the end, when He brings judgement to Anti-Christ systems. However before that, He seeks to operate with spreading the gospel of peace. Yes, Jesus came to bring a sword, but Jesus name is the only thing that should divide us. Carnal issues should not divide us.

NFL Player Benjamin Watson takes the LORD’s SIDE with a balanced heartfelt Christ Focused view

Media hypocrites love to hear a one-sided take to generate entertainment and controversy… But people that speak for the Lord bring a 2 edged sword that cuts both ways and causes both sides to repent. But when you take the Lords side and present Jesus as the solution all the sudden there’s “technical issues…” (Notice the anchor wasn’t trying to cut him off, but the studio cut him off anyway.)

He says “It’s a SIN problem, not a SKIN problem.”
He takes the Lord’s side not the black side, the white side, the conservative side, or the liberal side.

This already went viral but it needs to go viral in YOUR City. Spread this wisdom richly and generously:

At some point while I was playing or preparing to play Monday Night Football, the news broke about the Ferguson Decision. After trying to figure out how I felt, I decided to write it down. Here are my thoughts:

I’M ANGRY because the stories of injustice that have been passed down for generations seem to be continuing before our very eyes.

I’M FRUSTRATED, because pop culture, music and movies glorify these types of police citizen altercations and promote an invincible attitude that continues to get young men killed in real life, away from safety movie sets and music studios.

I’M FEARFUL because in the back of my mind I know that although I’m a law abiding citizen I could still be looked upon as a “threat” to those who don’t know me. So I will continue to have to go the extra mile to earn the benefit of the doubt.

I’M EMBARRASSED because the looting, violent protests, and law breaking only confirm, and in the minds of many, validate, the stereotypes and thus the inferior treatment.

I’M SAD, because another young life was lost from his family, the racial divide has widened, a community is in shambles, accusations, insensitivity hurt and hatred are boiling over, and we may never know the truth about what happened that day.

I’M SYMPATHETIC, because I wasn’t there so I don’t know exactly what happened. Maybe Darren Wilson acted within his rights and duty as an officer of the law and killed Michael Brown in self defense like any of us would in the circumstance. Now he has to fear the backlash against himself and his loved ones when he was only doing his job. What a horrible thing to endure. OR maybe he provoked Michael and ignited the series of events that led to him eventually murdering the young man to prove a point.

I’M OFFENDED, because of the insulting comments I’ve seen that are not only insensitive but dismissive to the painful experiences of others.

I’M CONFUSED, because I don’t know why it’s so hard to obey a policeman. You will not win!!! And I don’t know why some policeman abuse their power. Power is a responsibility, not a weapon to brandish and lord over the populace.

I’M INTROSPECTIVE, because sometimes I want to take “our” side without looking at the facts in situations like these. Sometimes I feel like it’s us against them. Sometimes I’m just as prejudiced as people I point fingers at. And that’s not right. How can I look at white skin and make assumptions but not want assumptions made about me? That’s not right.

I’M HOPELESS, because I’ve lived long enough to expect things like this to continue to happen. I’m not surprised and at some point my little children are going to inherit the weight of being a minority and all that it entails.

I’M HOPEFUL, because I know that while we still have race issues in America, we enjoy a much different normal than those of our parents and grandparents. I see it in my personal relationships with teammates, friends and mentors. And it’s a beautiful thing.

I’M ENCOURAGED, because ultimately the problem is not a SKIN problem, it is a SIN problem. SIN is the reason we rebel against authority. SIN is the reason we abuse our authority. SIN is the reason we are racist, prejudiced and lie to cover for our own. SIN is the reason we riot, loot and burn. BUT I’M ENCOURAGED because God has provided a solution for sin through the his son Jesus and with it, a transformed heart and mind. One that’s capable of looking past the outward and seeing what’s truly important in every human being. The cure for the Michael Brown, Trayvon Martin, Tamir Rice and Eric Garner tragedies is not education or exposure. It’s the Gospel. So, finally, I’M ENCOURAGED because the Gospel gives mankind hope.
