True and False Apostles

A false apostle is always growing in self aggrandizement and self-promotion.

A true apostle is always growing in self abasement and self-sacrifice.

A self-serving leader always just needs more followers.

A servant leader is always trying to inspire and train more servant leaders.

My opinion on the “Disobedient Cowards” Panel Comments on Holy Hip Hop

My opinion is the panelists were right, they just didn’t see clearly enough to show HOW they were right.

The bible says “If a ruler hearkens to lies, all his servants are wicked.”

Unfortunately, leadership by example in “holy hip hop” is corrupted and following after the world… and that has painted the whole movement as “disobedient cowards.” Unfortunately, the majority of holy hip hop is scared to stand against the world and against the disobedient cowards that are leading the body of Christ into the world.

The genre is not evil, but people that follow corrupt leadership within the genre are. Some people that stand against corrupt leadership have kept themselves from evil. However, they are the minority, so to the panelists who don’t see the minority, it’s all evil.

They were correct in their assessment of the overall state of holy hip hop or reformed rap or gospel rap.

So the panelists were actually accurate… but just didn’t have the insight to know exactly why they were accurate. Probably because they are not intimately familiar with what they were asked about.

There’s a such thing as being right by perspective and wrong by logic. Sometimes a prophetically gifted person can get it right with his gift, but not yet have all the scriptures and logic together correctly to prove why he’s accurate.

I don’t they should recant their opinions… I think they should dig a little deeper to find out more why this issue is so strong on the heart of God for the next generation.

I wrote the book Killing Idols for REVIVAL to bring the scriptures, prophetic perspective, and real life experience together on this topic among many others. I highly recommend reading Killing Idols for REVIVAL.

Resistance is Key to Revival

When God wants to bring His presence back to His people He will raise up people who Rise Up and Stand Against the workers of iniquity.

Psalm 94:14-16
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?

Standing for God, and standing AGAINST the workers of iniquity is actually the exact same stance.

If you are hungry for the presence of God to impact your church, community, or city, you cannot be afraid of spiritual conflicts. The increase of God’s presence often coincides with clear conflicts, communications, and judgemental decisions made for righteousness and AGAINST iniquity.

Don’t Stress the Small Battles

The lion and the bear were just practice for Goliath! Goliath was just practice for entire Nations! Don’t stress out for the small battles… keep your eyes on the glory of God.

Iceland’s Government Resisted the Spirit of Anti-Christ that America has Embraced

Did you know that instead of bailing out the failed banks, Iceland made the banks pay for their errors… and it worked? Iceland did not submit to the corporate Babylon beast… They arrested the government officers and criminal banksters that colluded together to fleece the people. They ended up better off because of it and being one of the most prosperous nations in Europe. They did what Ron Paul has been crying out for over 30 years.

May God bless our nation to do the same one day soon.

Samuel, the Original Kingmaker: Don’t preach peace to Eli and mourn for Saul as an excuse not to fulfill your purpose

It’s so hard to find good leaders, when men are so brainwashed to follow man instead of Christ.

A lot of people would rather preach peace to Eli, and mourn for Saul rather be the priest and king that God has called them to be in Christ for their generation.

When Samuel was young, he was tempted not to preach the real word of the Lord to Eli, out of respect for his elder, father figure, and high priest.

When Samuel was old, he was tempted to mourn for Saul instead of find a new king, because Saul was his first appointed king, and he had a personal relationship with Saul.

But the authority in the kingdom of God was never in titles or human relationships in the first place. Priestly and kingly authority is in prayer for people, teaching the word, and doing the Word for an example. Samuel understood this:

1 Samuel 12
23 Moreover as for me, God forbid that I should sin against the Lord in ceasing to pray for you: but I will teach you the good and the right way: 24 only fear the Lord, and serve him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great things he hath done for you.

Read 1 and 2 Samuel

Earthly Power or Kingdom Righteousness

Those that see earthly power as the primary means to spread righteousness will very soon lose their righteousness in the corrupt pursuit of earthly power.

John 18:36
Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight…

How Wolves See Disagreement as Publicity

The fact that wolves see disagreement as negative or positive publicity for their earthly organization, instead of as a chance to further establish Truth in the souls of Gods flock, is proof that they are wolves not Shepherds.

Purity Trumps Productivity

Grapes don’t come from thorns, figs don’t come from thistles, and corrupt trees don’t produce good fruit. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

Purity trumps productivity.

Impurity destroys productivity

Pagan vs Kingdom Holidays

Main difference between pagan and Christian Holidays:

– Pagans celebrate the changes of the seasons and random stuff.

– In the Kingdom we celebrate the Acts of God towards His people Israel (including the Gentile Church).

One new Man celebrates in Christ.
