Why do we love Adultery, “Scandal”, and “Grand Theft” in Entertainment?

Posted on October 4, 2013 by SoSpression

I used to watch all types of filthy entertainment, until I realized that it was making me filthy again after I had washed myself in the Blood of Jesus and the Word of God.

Here is the reason why 99% of all entertainment is based on adultery, spiritual adultery, and Filth: People like filth. High – level sorcerers and marketers know this, and they will always sell it to you.

The reason people like filth is because filth comes from within our heart, and it reminds us of ourselves. Jesus told us this:

Matthew 15:18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. 19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: 20 these are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.

When you follow Christ your thirst for filth should be starved… Your hunger and thirst should be for righteousness.

Wash yourself in the blood of Jesus and in the word of God daily, but don’t go defiling yourself on purpose with filth and entertainment. Pursue holiness and fruitfulness. We are in this world, but not of it.

But What about the Bible? The Bible has adultery in it? The bible has a lot of scandals!

But the Word of God is also something we call anointed: it is filled with Holiness, saturated in God, and set apart for Gods purpose.

The bible doesn’t use sin to reach people, the bible glorifies God as forgiver, cleanser, and punisher of sin.

There is a big difference in telling your testimony and “boasting in your sinful nature” (1 Corinthians 1:29–31).

There is a big difference between laboring in sin and pride to attract people, and then mentioning Christ at the end – versus laboring to glorify Christ and then presenting forgiveness of sin.

John 12
32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.

2 Corinthians 4
5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake. 6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

Here’s a SHOCKER to 95% of the American church

Posted on October 4, 2013 by SoSpression

Here’s a SHOCKER to 95% of the American church:

The main goal of the church is NOT evangelism.

The main goal of the church is to worship, glorify, lift up, and OBEY Jesus Christ in all things.

Evangelism is what happens easily, gracefully, and powerfully when the main goal of Love and Obedience to Jesus Christ is accomplished consistently.

Acts 2

38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. 39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. 40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.

41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls. 42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. 43 And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.

44 And all that believed were together, and had all things common; 45 and sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. 46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, 47 praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.

If you don’t accomplish goal #1, you end up doing this:

Matthew 23
15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.

There is a big difference between laboring in sin to attract people, and then mentioning Christ at the end, versus laboring to glorify Christ and then presenting forgiveness of sin.

John 12
32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.

2 Corinthians 4
5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake. 6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

If You’re in a Tight Spot – God Will Put You in A LARGE Place if You CALL Him

Posted on October 3, 2013 by SoSpression

If you are in Distress, call upon the Lord in distress… First He will answer you and give you revelation. Then, He will put you in a LARGE PLACE… A place where you can expand your obedience to the Word that He gave you.

Pay Attention: the part most people miss is when He answers and you have to obey and change according to His answer. Its after you follow His answer, that you will be led to a wide place. It will be a wide place in your life where your vision is expanded, and it will have wide space for you, and you will be SET in that place.

Psalm 118:5
5 I called upon the Lord in distress: the Lord answered me, and set me in a large place.

2 Clues to the Time of the End: Transportation and Information Technology

Posted on October 3, 2013 by SoSpression

The Time of the End is here…Here are two clues:

Daniel 12:4

But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
Yes, this is like the simplest scripture in bible prophecy:
In the time of the end:
1. many shall run to and fro
2. knowledge shall be increased
What are the two biggest innovations in the past 100 years?
1. Transportation: planes, trains, automobiles… people literally “run to and fro” all day long. This scripture was written in a time when people stayed home primarily, and traveled slowly if they ever did. Today millions of engineers make planes, helicopters, trains and cars so that billions of people can “run to and fro.”
2. Information Technology: Publishing, books, internet, phones, websites, wikipedia… “knowledge is increasing” and the transfer of that knowledge is becoming quicker and simpler everyday. You can literally increase your knowledge about anything in the world anytime you want. Researchers, Publishers, and Computer Scientists have made it super easy to spread, increase, and transfer knowledge without worrying about stacks of paper being burned up.
What does this mean?
This is a clue that we are coming to the time of the end. This means that mysteries that Daniel wrote about are being revealed right now.
Be prepared, get close to God, and walk in obedience! Fast weekly, pray daily, live and breathe holy. God will reveal many things to you about the book of Daniel, the entire Word of God and about your life.
Revelation 12:12
12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and of the sea! For the devil has come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.”Transition and God’s Authority is coming. The devil only has a short time… so he’s coming on much stronger with temptation, deception, and violence. But Jesus’s return is coming soon. Get Excited!

Holiness is the New “116” | What does “holier than thou” actually mean in real life?

Posted on October 1, 2013 by SoSpression

I saw this great status from my brother Jason Wilson:

”

THE WORLD SAYS: “Don’t be holier than thou.”

GOD SAYS: “Be holy because I am holy.”

1 Peter 1:16

”

SO TRUE

This is so true… the sad part is that following worldly minded men instead of God leads to eternal damnation. The happy part is that grace actually works to create holiness in believers (Titus 2:11).

The phrase “holier than thou” is rooted in pride, not in holiness. Its also rooted in idolatry. God is actually talking about people that worship idols and are doing the EXACT opposite of living holy, but then say that they are “holier than thou.”

Here’s the actual scripture that people like to misquote:

Isaiah 65

2 I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, which walketh in a way that was not good, after their own thoughts;

3 A people that provoketh me to anger continually to my face; that sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense upon altars of brick;

4 Which remain among the graves, and lodge in the monuments, which eat swine’s flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels;

5 Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day.

Just in case you didn’t know – phrases like ‘sacrificing in gardens’, ‘burning incense on brick’, ‘remaining in the graves’, ‘lodging in the monuments’, and ‘eating swines flesh’ – are all first testament phrases that symbolize gross and obvious idolatry among priests. These same priests then fronted themselves as holy and then prevented people from coming close to them.

So if you want to call someone “holier than thou” you also have to prove that they are purposefully worshipping idols, violating God’s obvious commandments, and then telling you not to come close to them because of their pride. This means that someone who is “holier than thou” is a liar, and a hypocrite… probably too busy performing on a stage and branding an image of themselves to have time to live what they say.

Holiness is Good

In reality, holiness is a good thing. Holiness is setting yourself apart for God’s purposes… and staying away from sin, iniquity, and idolatry. Part of it is being peculiar and zealous for God’s purposes. Holiness has nothing to do with pride, it has to do with a focus on God’s purpose.

God’s purpose is not for us to follow, imitate, or partner with sinners, but for sinners to bring the fruits of repentance and follow us because of God’s truth, power, and kindness.

Lets make 1 Peter 1:16 the new “116”

1 Peter 1:16

16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

;

;

So Does Isaiah 65 mean I can’t eat bacon?

No that’s the old covenant. In the new covenant those old ceremonial laws don’t apply, only the reflection of Jesus Christ applies. Its a representation of what was against the law for the priesthood in that time. In the New Covenant the Priesthood is in Jesus Christ only. In the second covenant your righteousness actually must exceed and surpass the righteousness of the first covenant; because Jesus Christ is inside of you. It would be wise not to eat bacon for health reasons, but its not going to keep you out of heaven.

A True Biblical Church

Posted on September 30, 2013 by SoSpression

A true Biblical Church is immune to false apostles, false prophets, false teachers, and fake bishops…

The natural vaccines that give this immunity have been around for hundreds of years. They are called Matthew, Mark, Luke, John…. 1st & 2nd Corinthians… 1st, 2nd, 3rd John… Revelations.

These natural vaccines can only be administered by the Holy Spirit, not dead men or history books.

The apostasy in the Church is a failure in biblical literacy and the failure to construct Jesus Christ in the Church thru the Holy Spirit.

Burn Your Bridges

Posted on September 30, 2013 by SoSpression

Never be afraid to burn your bridges to the work of iniquity, the harm of sin, and vain useless pursuits.

Upside Down

Posted on September 30, 2013 by SoSpression

Jesus called the Pharisees hypocrites because they were covetous actors, and He called those sinners that repented and followed holiness His disciples and friends.

Today we call the people that desire repentance and holiness Pharisees and “too holy”, but we call the covetous actors and hypocrites heroes and leaders.

My how things have changed. The Church in Acts turned the world upside down (Acts 17:6), but now the world has turned the Church upside down.

Publish the Word

Posted on September 29, 2013 by SoSpression

Psalms 68
11 The Lord gave the word:
great was the company of those that published it.

When you get away from publishing the Word of God – and you start publishing the brands of men and/ or marketing a false image of yourself – you depart from the company of the Lord, and join the company of Babylon.

God is not mocked, He knows the difference and you will reap exactly what you sow.

Be careful how you use your facebook, twitter, blogs, marketing companies, “ministries,” or any social media or publishing platforms.

Yes, There Are Consequences and Repercussions to Rejecting Gods Messengers

Posted on September 28, 2013 by SoSpression

Jesus wanted His Disciples and messengers to know the blessings AND the consequences for the cities that He sent them to.

This way, they would be able to go with confidence and care for the people they encountered, knowing that their message would bring results whether it was received or not.

They were instructed to vocalize the blessing of the kingdom of God and they were instructed to vocalize the warning of the kingdom of God.

Luke 10:
8 And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you: 9 and heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.

10 But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say, 11 Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you. 12 But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city.
