What if the gospel entertainment industry was honest? “Oh I give praise and thanks to BAAL, he has blessed me so much… It’s only thru the lust of Jezebel that I reached this many people with the corrupted gospel of Christ!”

CREATING A CULTURE OF BIBLICAL LITERACY!
BIBLICAL ILLITERACY IS THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WE FACE!
BIBLICAL LITERACY and the Spirit of Wisdom that comes from the obedience thereof is THE NUMBER ONE key to success in all manners of life, and the blessing that comes from it extends to a THOUSAND GENERATIONS.
Deuteronomy 7:9
Know therefore that the Lord thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;
The Jews are known for their financial success around the world in every nation, because their biblical culture forced them to read the Torah and become literate in wisdom even when their society was primarily agricultural, and it didn’t even make sense to go to school.
A German, Martin Luther, brought back the authority of the Word of GOD to the Church in a time where normal people couldn’t even read the bible! He came up with systems of theology and is it a coincidence that Germans are known for having the leadership in engineering systems even to this day? No.
The English gave us the King James version of the Bible and then proceeded to impact the cultures of the entire world with industrial and colonial revolutions. Is that a coincidence? No.
Let’s not forget the good old US of A, where Puritans sacrificed their lives to create a place where they could worship God in Spirit and Truth. Truth brought Freedom, and the Spirit brought liberty that has changed the world politically, economically, and culturally.
Not to mention all the numerous huge inventions and advances in science, politics, and culture that have come directly from biblical literacy and the fear of the Lord.
All wisdom comes from or is an indirect result of the blessing of God and Biblical literacy. Those that reject Gods Word will eventually fail, and fail hard… Though some vestiges of natural wisdom will remain because of Gods mercy.
It’s also very true that Gods wisdom can easily be corrupted by wicked men to do perverted things. (There are African slaves, German Jews, and Native Americans that can tell you all about that.) Wisdom can be corrupted and used to oppress. God usually doesn’t steal His wisdom back, though He could (like when Nebuchadnezzar became a goat). But just because men can corrupt it doesn’t mean we can’t use it correctly!
But the problem is: today, if I tell a man to read the bible, or engage in something pertaining to biblical literacy, and the obedience and understanding thereof, what do I get?
“aww, thats too deep”
“we don’t need all those scriptures”
“we’re not Pharisees or theologians”
It’s time for this generation to rise up in biblical literacy, because Christ has all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge in Him. The bible has the keys of knowledge that unlock success in every sphere of life.
But the greatest benefit of biblical literacy is that it allows the Holy Spirit to do SO MUCH MORE in your soul to make the desires of God real in your life – to glorify JESUS.
I believe it’s time for people from EVERY tribe tongue nation and culture to join in biblical literacy and the obedient Wisdom of our Father and Creator under the leadership of Jesus Christ thru the Holy Spirit. Let’s end the ignorance and put the blessing on our families for a thousand generations!
Step 1. Read the Bible every year from cover to cover.
Step 2. Let the Holy Spirit inspire you to meditate, speak, and do specific instructions from God
Step 3. Read books that explain the bible from different perspectives. Make sure these are trustworthy people, not performers, hypocrites, or mere intellectuals. Use your own intelligence and ask God for understanding of the Scriptures.
Step 4. Listen to preachers and teachers that constantly refer to the bible.
Step 5. Discuss topics from the bible with your family & friends daily, informally and formally. Be serious about obeying what you learn.
Step 6. Repeat every year.
Step 7. After 10 years, you have passed Stage 1 in establishing a culture of biblical literacy in your family!
Congratulations. Repeat; every 10 years is a new level.
Optional Step: sing old & new testament book songs in church so everybody can easily memorize where each book is!
Optional Step 2: Make up songs from Scriptures, and use them to worship God and instruct each other!

The Spirit of Holiness does not require immediate perfection, but a consistent direction.

You’ll never catch the devil until you are ready to treat him like he stole something.
He came to steal, kill, and destroy. But if you never realize what was stolen, you’ll never even recognize the devil until you’re totally destroyed.

Like a dog returns to its own vomit, so does a fool return to his foolishness.
– Don’t let anybody trick you into returning back to the iniquity and sin you left when you came to Jesus and were filled with HG.

Did you know that the Largest Salt Mine in the World is right underneath Detroit?
Did you know that only a few hundred years ago salt was almost worth its weight in gold or silver, and that the world “salary” comes from salt, because the Roman Empire paid its soldiers in salt?
Jesus said that we are the salt of the earth. In the earth, but not of it, a preservative… But He said if the salts loses its savor, its flavor and purpose difference from the other minerals, its just worth dirt to be trampled on.
Maybe Detroit is called to be a place where the Church restores its Saltiness, its Holiness, its Difference from the earthly minded and its Value to the world!!!
In Jesus Name let it be so!!!

Love suffers for a long time and remains kind, love is not competitive or envious, love hates iniquity and rejoices only in truth, and love is indomitable and never fails… all because of its Covenant with God the Father thru Jesus Christ. God defines love because He Is Love!
This world has no love because it’s filled with iniquity by Satan.

We decided to Catch Up With JayBrian… and He decided to Start the PROTEST 1 month early!!!
eSoSa: What have you been up to since you moved to Texas?
JayBrian: I moved to Texas September 2011! Really, I wanted to focus on my family, and becoming a Godly, well rounded man. So, I’ve been WORKING really hard as a provider!!!
I didn’t grow up with my father in the home so I made a lot of bad decisions in my ignorance. My father and I have a great relationship now, in fact he has helped me tremendously in my adult life! It was really important to me to please God with this glorious responsibility of being a Provider, Protector, & Priest! Lol!
I didn’t have the best examples, but I had the Holy Spirit, and being led to move to Texas I have been SUPER Blessed by some Strong Godly examples in the area of family. I didn’t comprehend that my prayers would be hindered if I didn’t properly deal with my wife according to knowledge as a co-heir in Christ! 2 Peter 3:7 continues to change me daily!
I’m being taught to properly COVER my wife as Christ covers me, and what a covering really is according to 1 Corinthians 11. Those are just a few points to mention. You know we hear ALL the time that “the home is the first ministry” but in retrospect we’re never taught it! And very seldom do we see it…
So as I was thoroughly taught and begin to study to change me, I realized what REALLY brings God Glory… Family/Families being produced and functioning the way GOD created them to function. 1 man & 1 woman becoming 1 in the image of Christ, Husband is to wife as Christ is to HIS church, The Bride of Christ! Eph. 5:25 I’ve learned what it means to NOT entice my children. Eph. 6:4 but to bring them up in discipline… You know!
Quality time is not being physically there, but mentally or emotionally somewhere else! All we hear now, equally from men and women is that they’ve been called to “minister” or to the nations but often if not the majority of time it’s the home front that never gets the ministry! 1 Tim 3:5 is very clear in that you don’t belong in ministry if you can’t manage your home… First!!! We chalk it up to the facts of life when we hear about family issues or children acting out… Because it’s the “mand uve gawd” (that people low key worship) we don’t resort to the bible for instruction!
What is a youth pastor? It’s not biblical… And I was one, for 2 years (I did a terrible job might I add) Lol. These kids need their PARENTS!!!!! The word of God means nothing if the parents don’t live it, the authority of God means nothing if the father is absent! Scripture states to the parents to train “your” child in the word! Of course I’m not against all youthful activities though. The only biblical youth pastor other than a parent is a youth that is a pastor! Timothy was a youth!
[esosa – we realize that some children are fatherless and/or have unbelieving parents and that some pastor-teachers are called to help God be a father to the fatherless]
This world has done a fantastic job at warping our perspective as it relates to this life. The reason behind it is we’re raised to be either double minded “you know church ain’t everything” or out of balance Christians ” we can be constantly entertained by anything, except God!” Not according to Psalms 1 or 2 Corinthians 6.
I’m not saying that adults can’t dine in places that serve alcohol or going to the movies is the devil! It’s about balance!
Christians are to rely on the fruits of the Spirit and discern in everyday life! These kids will never get this if it’s not modeled by the parents in fear of The Lord!
So the curse ended with me as far as my lineage/legacy! Me and my wife are living by faith together raising our children of 3, she is at home I’m at work, I Believe God is pleased!
My Protest is against men and especially women who leave their homes to pursue some type of calling by “god” (little g on purpose) and forsake their homes, husbands, wives, and super-especially the children which God said is HIS heritage in Psalms 127.
Parents be youth pastors… Men become husbands and fathers obedient to The Lord… Women become wives and mothers submitted to your husband, which is obedience to The Lord so that the Word won’t be reviled!
eSoSa:One of the reasons we had to have you do the first protest concert is because you were actually in the dream where God showed us the protest in the last chapter of the book Killing Idols for REVIVAL. When did your “Protest” start and how do you describe it?
JayBrian: My protest began when I was filled with the Holy Spirit. I didn’t quite understand everything neither did I immediately take action! I was a young adult in my early twenties, I was raised Christian but I matured to a believer! The difference, doing what I was told vs. doing what I believed.. Now I have my own convictions.
I started reading the bible for myself and depending on God to give me understanding. Boy o’ boy was I in for an awakening! I’ve been in church my whole life not knowing what it meant to “be the church.”
Let’s say I was Jermaine Dollar and I needed change you can say the bible was the coin machine!!! I instantly noticed that religion was a disease that had life ending side effects. The bible isn’t some source of power to manipulate or control humans that are lost, broken, hurt, confused, abandoned, and abused!
Remember this: Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth… B.I.B.L.E haha! The word of God is Life for the Believer the perfect guide for salvation and the faithless! In Psalms 119:11 David expressed what should be the sentiments of every Christian. We should not want to sin!
The bible warns of a great delusion in 2 Thessalonians, so we will have people who just won’t get it, but I’m believing for the ones who really want the God given Truth! I just want people to read the BIBLE!
My Protest is against ignorant Christians who continue to believe men over God, against leaders who carelessly miss handle something as sharp as the Word of God! I admonish them to wake up, stop chasing dreams and live what the bible instructs, as children of light in this dark ending world!
No wonder our children are falling away at record breaking percentages, no wonder “holy” men are continuously in the news for scandals and such, no wonder we’re turning to reality tv and all other mediums for exposure/platform, our (so-called) leaders are the main ones embracing the worlds idols!
We share stages, church buildings, we write movies together, we go on tour, I mean we are literally what the bible would call prostituting everything even ourselves.
Now there’s this teaching that has resurfaced made popular by reformers – teaching there’s no sacred/secular divide!
WHAT? Let me remind believers that JESUS taught us in John 15:18 that “The World Hates You!” Then in verse 20 HE reminded us “the servant is not greater than the master”!
We are commissioned to win the lost, not the world system that hates us! “We” can’t save something that was never intended to be saved.
People will be drawn by lifting up Jesus, not culture, art, numbers, and certainly not man!!!!
Don’t be fooled by the spiritual ambitious bunch, look for/pray for the men whose leadership modeled that of Paul, Peter, John, and the like!
Paul called himself the chiefest sinner, became a slave to righteousness and the pure gospel…
Peter denied Jesus, and by the grace of God wrote great instruction on false teachers and our call to be Holy(separated).
John who lived in the “wild” engaged culture with no problem – in fact he confronted the “king” about his adulterous lifestyle.
You see bro we carry truth boldly, not passively, and in this day we have to be willing to lose everything even life just as our predecessors in the faith did!
One of my favorite scriptures is John 5:44: How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?
eSoSa: I love that scripture too! One thing I get from it is that Jesus basically said “we can’t believe” if we’re trying to get honor from men. That’s a faith issue! So our “world changing faith” becomes useless if we accept honor from men instead of God. That’s part of the reason we believe for revival and for the harvest but we don’t see fruit that remains because we are trying to get honor from men, not God. So when it comes time to preach what God says, we are too busy thinking “this won’t get me honor, money, awards, respect, speaking engagements, recommendations from men.” What were some of your main takeaways from the book Killing Idols for Revival?
JayBrian: Honestly bro… TRUTH! Plus, I truly appreciate your diligence in teaching on how business within the kingdom is to be handled by scripture! Oh, one more… That awful spirit of Jezebel that aggressively hinders our men today! Killing Idols for Revival is a must read! Blessings to you and your family!
“Living in a foolish world I am not a foolish man, I lost all of my foolish pride
Father of a baby girl gotta show her what a man is, also a father of 2 boys
Gotta show’em what the fear of God really means I’m a husband to 1 wife
Proven to this world what the God family really looks like”

The Church is the Bride of Christ not the stage for man.
The difference comes when it’s time to decide whether to get on the cross or display your talent and ability.
