SEEK PURITY::: Truth and Deception sometimes Sound the Same

SEEK PURITY:::: Truth and Deception often sound almost the same – sometimes the only difference is the motive of the heart!

There’s a HUGE difference between someone using Truth to make a name, a brand, a platform, a channel, an image, or a movement for themselves… versus someone submitted to doing the truth in service to YAH and people for YAH’s Glory alone.

Often you won’t find out the difference until the deceiver leads you into a place that Yah never ever ever called you to be. Be careful and SEEK PURITY.

John 7:18 He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

It’s so much easier & quicker to build a culture of the flesh than a Kingdom of the Spirit. But no shortcuts.

Oppression is not your Biggest Problem

It’s good to fight against oppression and persecution, and to pray for justice and liberty. But that’s not the biggest problem you have. Oppression is not what breaks your spirit. It’s actually impossible for persecution from others to break your spirit.
The greatest problem that can actually break you is your own iniquity, sin, and lawlessness. This is what breaks our integrity down as individuals and as a people.
Repentance to the Commandments of God and Awakening to Righteousness by the faith of Jesus is the Solution for Overcoming ALL Opposition.

Revelation 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

FATHERS TURN YOUR HEARTS AWAY FROM IDOLATRY AND ADULTERY BACK TO GOD AND FAMILY.

CHILDREN FORGIVE YOUR FATHERS THAT DID YOU WRONG AND SUBMIT TO THE 10 COMMANDMENTS OF YOUR FATHER IN HEAVEN.

Malachi 4:5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord:
6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

Free in Christ to be Lawless?

Free in Christ to be Lawless? With No Order?

Free in Christ to be Immodest and Immoral?

NOPE. Strong Families make strong Congregations. Families out of order create Congregations with no order. Slick talking men taking advantage of silly women who are forever learning but can’t actually do the truth.

2 Timothy 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,

7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

Spiritual Abortion and Miscarriage

One of the great tragedies of our generation is the Abortion of Purpose & the Miscarriage of Divine Partnerships.

Never let pride keep you from obeying the truth.

Never let pride keep you from submitting to a mission that unites you with the lowly.

Never let pride keep you away from partnerships and teams that lower your status in your own eyes.

Humility is submission to truth that makes you feel lower than the Most High.

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

Diotrephes vs Christ: Leadership

Diotrephes style leaders brag about their giftedness and are selfish. They love the top, they “love the preeminence”

Christ like leaders love to serve and help wash the feet of the people who don’t even know their walk is dirty.

If you despise humble leadership, it’s because you love pride. We are attracted to what we are, and to what we want to be.

2 Corinthians 11:19 For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye yourselves are wise.
20 For ye suffer, if a man bring you into bondage, if a man devour you, if a man take of you, if a man exalt himself, if a man smite you on the face.

2 Questions to REFOCU$$$ the Body of Christ

Why are you still charging for ministry conferences & events when Jesus clearly said don’t make YAH’s house a house of merchandise?

John 2:16 And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father’s house an house of merchandise.

I know from experience the pressure it takes to do an event. I used to do concerts, sell tickets, setup merchandising tables, the whole nine… After 2012 that all changed. When Yah speaks, times change and you have to repent and do something different.

After God opened my eyes I realized that we don’t need to do high pressure events to spread the gospel. People are mixing their desire for promotion and marketing with the work of the ministry. Ministry was designed by Yah… thats what tithing, offering, and gifts are for… Jesus never said anything against that, but he did teach against buying and selling and merchandising in the house of prayer.

Why are you still collecting tithes, offerings, & firstfruits, but not ministering to the poor, widow, & fatherless?

Galatians 2:10 Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do.

You can pay the Ministers, and still take care of the Poor. The Priests and Levites did it all in the Old Testament.

The Apostles, Prophets, Teachers & Evangelists did both in the New Testament.

What’s our excuse? Maybe we see it as the Governments job now.

Well… It’s not the Government’s job to take our job. It’s perfectly fine for government to give to the poor if they can. But its not okay for us to STOP doing what the Most High called the Priesthood of the Most High (Believers) to do.

The Blindest People are also the Most Prideful

The Blindest People are Also usually the most Prideful.

Humility is key to the Insight for the Questions you keep asking over and over again.

Do you really think that you are praying but Yah is not answering you?

I guarantee you that He is.

John 9:41 Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.

Don’t be a Childish Apologist

Many so-called apologists waste their time defending (arguing about) Scriptures they neither rightly divide nor live.
🤦🏾‍♂️

Giving a logical, grace-filled answer for what you believe is a good thing.

However there is no apologist gift listed in the Scriptures.

Debating and arguing are not gifts of the spirit.

The Kingdom of God is run by the prophetic anointing of Yah’s spirit, not by the philosophical and oratorical techniques of Aristotle, Plato, and Socrates.

If they lived the Scriptures… they would be Shepherds or Evangelists teaching and producing fruit – not apologists (strife filled debaters, labelers, and arguers).

Apologists are generally a waste of time unless they are actually doing the work of Evangelism, Pastoring, or Apostles building Congregations.

Childishness is not a ministry gift.

It’s easy to make money in the church by creating a doctrinal boogieman to fight but when you ask the church to repent and keep the Commandments of Jesus all you hear is🦗🦗

Don’t Confuse Theology with Doctrine

Though many people will try to conflate the two – theology and Doctrine are NOT One and the Same.

Sound Doctrine is based on the Fear of YAHUAH, Knowledge, and Obedient action in the Kingdom of God.

Theology is “called” the study of God, but culturally it comes from Greek culture of philosophy, debate, much learning, and oratory without action.

The Greeks developed a culture of people who wanted to get paid to talk. Actors, Philosophers, Orators, Entertainers all come from this influence.

The Most High has NOT been influenced by Greek culture. The Hebrew Elohim of Creation is very action-oriented. His leaders don’t judge for their pockets, His prophets are not entertainers, and His priests are not for hire.

Micah 3:11 The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money: yet will they lean upon the Lord, and say, Is not the Lord among us? none evil can come upon us.

His Son Jesus explains that in His Kingdom, understanding of His doctrine only comes from Obedient Action:

John 7:17 If any man will DO HIS WILL, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.

When you replace the Anointing of the Prophetic Scriptures with the debate methodology of Greek Philosophers, you will never see the Kingdom.😥

Greco-Roman Culture Replaced the Prophetic Anointing with Hypocrisy

There was a 400 year famine where Yah stopped speaking thru the prophets, waiting to send His Son.

When the prophetic Anointing disappeared, Greek culture created a new waste of time: Hypocrite performances on stages with masks and scripts.

Within that vacuum, Socrates, Aristotle, and Plato created another new waste of time: the investment of your soul into intellectual pride instead of obedient action to the prophetic Scriptures.

Greco-Roman style philosophical oratory, theological debates and arts & entertainment all come from the same root: hypocrisy.

Return to the heart of God! Repentance, Love, Righteousness, and Justice in the Kingdom of Jesus!

Acts 17:21
(For all the Athenians and strangers which were there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell, or to hear some new thing.)

Acts 12:21 And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them.
22 And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man.

Mark 7:6
He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

Christlikeness – The ministry of Christ

Suffering. Rejection. Persecution. Ridicule. These are the marks of those qualified to represent heaven on earth.

Always choose lowliness🙏🏾

Jesus Loved, Served, and Discipled Judas even though He was completely aware that Judas was assigned by the devil to betray Him. #ThatsLove #BeChristLike

👑🏔👑You don’t know the ministry of Christ until you’ve experienced:

– people that you’ve poured your life out for tell you that you have no love

– people that you patiently teach by example tell you that you’re too deep and spooky and useless

– people that you actively serve tell you that you’re rebellious

– people that you respect and show kindness to spitting in your face.

If you can suffer those things, and still serve in love and refuse to run away, then you will know the ministry of Christ.

Ephesians 4:32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ‘s sake hath forgiven you.
Your biggest opportunity to be like Christ isn’t to get rich, famous, influential, or viral. It’s not even really when you heal the sick, cast out devils, or preach the gospel.

Your biggest opportunity to become like Christ is when you love those that hate you, and serve those that gossip about you and spy on you.

Its when you keep your Father in Heaven’s Commandments and walk in His holiness, speaking and doing His Words even though it guarantees hatred and persecution. Yet you can still sing, dance, spin, and rejoice in Him, because that’s when you receive your greatest rewards!

You can respect those that don’t respect you, and even give your life for them in love – because your greatest treasure is knowing Christ!

Your best sign of Christlikeness is not signs & wonders, or your impact on others, or your display of power or miracles… but it’s when you are rejected by the people you give your life for – and still somehow choose obedience and love.

  • THIS IS THE HIGH CALLING!!!
  • EMBRACE the SUFFERING.
  • BE like JESUS.
  • LOVE your ENEMIES!

His enemies were the people He helped, fed, loved, and gave His life for.

John 1:11

He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

If people can ignore their OWN CONSCIENCE, why do you get mad when they ignore you? #chill

John 5:41
I receive not honour from men.
❤😁✌🏾

When you do what you do for the Lord – He will reward you! He knows how to get it to you when people don’t think you deserve it.

If Christlikeness is your goal, then rejection from man is your portion…. and the Reward will be GREAT!!

Jesus Endured the Contradictions of Sinners… he suffered much more than we ever will. Look unto Jesus!

Hebrews 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
4 Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.

To know Christ is to suffer for the obedience of His faith.

When we suffer for our disobedience, we don’t get rewarded for that.

When we suffer for our obedience to Him, we attain resurrection power, eternal rewards, and we get to know Him very closely.

Philippians 3:10
That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; 11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.

People Will Try to Bury Your Reputation Like they Buried Christ

There are people that will ridicule you for imitating Jesus and obeying His Apostles and Prophets the best you can. There are people that will call you narcissistic for finding yourself in the Scripture and obeying it. The more you grow, the more hatred you will get.

John 12:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.

I follow Jesus and Keep His Commandments not from Narcissism but from Obedience to His Word and His Spirit, by His Grace, because of His Mercy. He loved me so I love Him back.

He’s Worth it!

I see myself in the Scriptures because He is the One who lives in me! So when you bury me I will rise just like Him!

Trump is Perfect for the United States (written November 15, 2016)

I think Trump is perfect for the US because he represents exactly what this nation will be judged for. Hypocrisy, pride, sexual sin, greed, divorce, racism, self-righteousness, etc. He’s a perfect representation of the pride that goes before a fall and the froward tongue and haughty spirit that leads to destruction.

Plus, since he represents the majority and even the Christian conservatives, judgement will be evidently justified, because judgement begins in the house of God. God is the same yesterday today and forever. Unrepentant sin and pride is a sure sign of destruction.

Judgment comes to the prideful, mercy goes to those that repent. I love the fact that God prefers mercy over judgement, that’s why I always push for humility and repentance instead of promoting pride and iniquity – for political and economic gain – then whitewashing it to call it Gods will.

Liberal Christians were decieved by Obama and paid for it spiritually by sowing into the gay agenda and delusion. Conservative Christians are being deceived by Trump and will pay for it spiritually by sowing into an agenda of destruction if we as the Body don’t repent and become humble and unified instead of prideful and divided by politics.

My belief is that God’s opportunity for repentance was with humble leaders such as Ron Paul and Ben Carson (before he bowed and kissed the ring). We rejected character and integrity, and we proved that we value pride and arrogance instead. According to Scripture, if a ruler listens to lies, all his servants are wicked. It’s the followers that are characterized by their leader, not the other way around.

I was barely out of my teens when Kwame Kilpatrick was running for Mayor of Detroit. I happened to hear him talk on the radio and I immediately knew he was two-faced. Then I saw a bunch of Pastors and Prophets laying hands on him and calling him the Lords Anointed. A couple years later… crickets.

I remember a bunch of Christians promoting Obama. They hated me for calling out his hypocrisy. A few months later when he started his LGBT championship run… crickets.

I’m not impressed with prophets and preachers that jump on, lay hands on, promote, strengthen the hands of sinners/winners, but don’t seem to have the power to turn them away from their iniquity.

True repentance is never private, it’s always public. That’s Christianity 101. Trump is an actor and a hypocrite and he performed his craft like a surgeon. He was masterful in what he said and didn’t say. He made sure every poor white person that was scared of blacks, Muslims, and Mexicans knew he would put them first. Same old lie from the beginning of the U.S. The rich divide poor whites from everybody else to cause division and racism to rise. We’ll go back to the old days and make it great again. Then lie to the Christians and tell them exactly what they want to hear. He did it perfectly.

Trump is THE big city salesman that was needed to fool the frustrated small town silent majority. Not all Trump supporters are racist but they decided that racism wasn’t a dealbreaker. They were willing to ride a bus that rolled over their brethren in Christ. Trump’s rhetoric attacked everyone except for them, so he seemed like a champion for them. They chose him to fight for them and against everyone else.

The reason why the race issue precedes the abortion issue, is because the race issue is the root of the abortion issue. The eugenics movement was planned, plotted, financed, and promoted specifically to decrease the black population and the black vote.

So you can’t cut the branch sin (abortion) and water the root sin (racism), it’s just another way for you to fail.

So you actually will change nothing by voting in the lesser of two evils if you allow pride to win over humility.

My problem is not with Trump. To me Trump is just a regular guy who needs salvation. I’ll pray for him just like anybody else. But I’ll also be praying for the Body of Christ to reconnect with the Head Jesus Christ and reject all this political manipulation and sorcery. Once you demonstrate that you value power over principle, you become useless to the truth.

I have no concerns with the election. My concerns are for the Body of Christ. Political and Ethnic division comes from our disconnection from the One Head and the One King Jesus. I tear down lies in hopes that we can unify in the Truth. When the Body is divided over racial and political lines, and even unbelievers can see it and are embarrassed. God will recover the glory of His name from these vain prophecies of political gain.

“He that justifies the wicked, and condemns the just. Both are abomination to the Lord.” Proverbs 17.

Politics sure brings out the abomination in so-called Christians. They will find a wicked candidate, and if they think they can win they’ll do all types of back flips and vain prophecies to justify them. Then they’ll find a just person, and condemn them for not supporting their wicked candidate.

Pride and Arrogance will NOT bring revival, it will bring nothing but destruction and open shame. God’s Word hasn’t changed because of any fear-based national emergency. There will be no national unity. But there will be unity in the Body of Christ WHEN we turn back to the Lord. Lay down your false American burdens and vain prophecies and pick up the Lords yoke which was supposed to be easy and light.

Lord purify your Bride from the corrupt quest for political control. Purge us from those who would trample their brethren for political and economic conquest. “If my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight. But my kingdom is not of this world.” – Jesus the King

Conservatives told me that Clinton’s sexual behavior in the White House increased sexual deviance in the youth of America. Then they said Obama’s philosophies helped spread liberal ideology all over America.

Now they tell me Trump’s blasting of every people group other than himself has no causal relationship with all the tension, violent incidents and threats that minorities are testifying to all over America. That’s just the media!

“Sometimes you need a certain rhetoric to get people motivated.” – Donald Trump.

Yeah it worked Donald. You are still a great salesman. No surprise here.

But Christians were motivated by this rhetoric too? That’s sad.

Apostle Peter, Apostle Paul. Both Christians, both Apostles. One preaching the gospel in the big city. The other preaching the gospel in smaller cities. One had to challenge the other for tolerating ethnocentrism. The other had to listen and repent. Humility allowed this to happen.

Let’s move the Body of Christ forward before we try to move a fallen world forward. “American Greatness” at the expense of a Divided Body is a bad tradeoff.

Anybody that thinks I’m partial or partisan in my passion to see the body of Christ trust in the Lord and in the Lords Spirit of Liberty instead of in Republican and Democratic political games, please go check my timeline from 2007, 2008, 2009. I’m an equal opportunity preacher. I prayed for Obama and I will pray for Trump, but my most earnest prayer is Repentance, Truth, and Unity for the Body of Christ. Let’s put our Hope for Change in Jesus Christ and Make the Body of Christ Great Again.
