How does obedience disqualify me again?

If your DISobedience doesn’t disqualify you from success in God (thru Gods mercy and my repentance), then how in the world does your OBEDIENCE to God disqualify you from success in God??? Lol tell that devil to shut up!

No seriously, next time the Accuser of the brethren tells you that your obedience to God is an offense or a blacklist or too dangerous for your marketing image, Laugh Out Loud!!! God rewards those that diligently seek HIM! His hands hold what you need!

Focusing on Jesus instead of Dead or Dying Men

I believe that those free from heresy prove it by having the ability to focus on Jesus Christ. That’s the proof of the Holy Ghost. Once you identify yourself with a dead man instead of the Resurrected One, you begin to give him glory instead of Christ. That in itself is heresy. In 1 Cor 11:19 basically says sects come so the ones that DONT join them can prove themselves to be followers of Christ.

Theres nothing wrong with what we see in 1 Cor 11:1, following a person as they follow Christ, that’s just discipleship. Reading and understanding a portion of Christ that has been given to someone in the past is good diligence in studying the Word of God.

There is something wrong with what we see in 1 Cor 11:19, heresy, which is like a divisive political party spirit in the church. When you desire to identify with a dead man that is not your Daddy and you dont know personally, that goes a little farther than discipleship.

Jesus is still alive. That’s just one of the main differences between him and other historical teachers of the Gospel. No matter how great a person’s ministry or teaching was, they still died. Jesus is still with us in the person of the Holy Spirit. Exalt Him!

How do you know the difference between if you are following a leader as they follow Christ, or idolizing a leader unknowingly a spirit of heresy, division, or error?

– When they are dead spiritually or naturally you still follow them as if they were alive spiritually or naturally.

– Whenever they are mentioned in a non-worshipful way, you get angry and/or defend them.

– You have a strong desire to be associated with their name brand, even equal to the name brand of Jesus Christ himself.

Are there any other clues to idolatry vs leadership?

Jesus is Above All

Any biblical interpretation/theological tool that has you devaluing or dismissing the wisdom of Jesus Christ (“because he was talking to Jews, because he hadn’t died yet, because He hadn’t resurrected yet, because it was just a message to that church”), is a biblical interpretation/theological tool you need to flush down the toilet because that’s where it belongs. Jesus is Above All.

Paul and the Lambs Wife

Paul taught that men should work a job, not only to eat, but to support their wife and family. Paul did not have a wife, but he still worked a job in ministry.

However, even though he wasnt supposed to, Paul additionally worked a natural-based job to help maintain the purity of the Lambs Wife (the Church), instead of joining in or competing with the wolves who saw it as their job to eat off the Lambs wife by corrupting the church instead of building her up.

Isn’t it interesting that a lot of the prophets, apostles and teachers in the Bible who called the Church, or God’s people, back to purity were either working natural jobs or fresh off of regular jobs? Jesus was a carpenter, Paul was a tent maker, Daniel was an administrative official, Nehemiah was a cupbearer, Amos was a farmer.

It’s not a sin to be in full time ministry – but sometimes, when there are too many ministers that see it as their job to eat the flock instead of feed the flock – God sends in fresh workers who don’t have pressure to eat off their ministry, but will instead work to restore purity.

A generation of spiritual abortion

We were supposed to use our evangelism and outreach as a springboard into our churches and ministries. Instead we used the church as a springboard into worldly fame and talent prostitution in the entertainment industry. #Theabortiongeneration

What is Forgiveness?

Forgiving someone means they don’t owe you anything anymore. You’ve released them from it.

It doesn’t mean you don’t walk in wisdom from that point forward or communicate truth or tell your testimony. It doesn’t even mean you don’t suffer hurt or pain anymore.

It means you release them from their debt (money, love, whatever you feel they owed you) and you continue to love them and walk in wisdom. 

One Way to Heal Depression and Low Self-Esteem: TURN OFF THE SCREEN

One of the most untold curses of ungodly entertainment and media is that it is purposefully designed and crafted to fuel and create unrealistic desires, discontentment, comparison, and covetousness.

Many many people could heal their low-self esteem and depression simply by TURNING OFF THE SCREEN and denying the manipulators and marketers access to their soul. Get back into your actual real life and shut down the fantasies. You’ll get a part of your mind back that you never knew was gone. Try it for a month.

Don’t Act Like You Don’t Know Me

Don’t Act Like You Don’t Know Me

Many mistakes are made when you judge people by their suffering season instead of by their character & high calling.

2 Corinthians 5:16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.

David, Ruth, Mordecai, Esther, Joseph, Jesus, and others all were judged by most on outward appearance, but only a few knew them for their identity in the Spirit. Those that knew them and acknowledged them recieved the benefits.

Never let fleshly titles or the bondages of organizations prevent you from acknowledging and walking in what you know by the Spirit of God.

We should walk in unity, agreement, and submission to God with people that we know by the Spirit.

2 Hands, 1 Face: Business with Ministry

We gotta have 2 hands but 1 face. We can’t be two-faced. There is a correct way to operate our ministries, there is another correct way to operate our publishing, but the message is the same for each.

We may be stronger with the church side (right hand) or stronger with the publishing side (left hand), but we have to use both, and the message (face) is the same on both sides.

A lot of compromise is coming in because guys are emphasizing the business side over the ministry side, and they are trying to be two-faced to get more success.

Deuteronomy 33:18
And of Zebulun he said, Rejoice, Zebulun, in thy breaking out; and, Issachar, in thy tents.

Zebulun represents the business side. Issachar represents the teaching/shepherding side. Our Zebulun side has to stay connected to Issachar for one purpose, to glorify God.

Simple takeaways:
– always serve and build the church
– never change your message for the publishing or marketing side, or to “break out” to reach more people
– operate your business in excellence outside the church
– don’t sell in the church, sell in the marketplace. serve the church and receive an offering if needed.
– if you do something on the business side, that is different from your gospel message, make sure it’s something natural (I.e, natural product, food, car commercial, education, government)… Never alter or compromise your spiritual message or associations.

Is Christian Music a Business or a Ministry?

Let’s make a few distinctions:

God’s Business – Ministry.

Regular business – Earthly products.

False ministry – sinful music.

Ministry is Gods business, not the worlds business. We have to connect it to the church, not the world. Also, doing music for a business that sells an inanimate object like Pepsi or a widget factory is regular music business.

Partnering with a label that is invested in the work of iniquity makes you a worker of iniquity, a false ministry. How come these rappers who used to be Christian are so eager to partner with the wicked, but you don’t see any of them bragging about their commercials for regular businesses? That pays money too. I guess doing a sprite commercial or a Chrysler commercial is not cool enough?

So they choose deception instead. Perhaps the iniquity of pride is why these guys refuse to stay inbounds?

I got a sister who was paid to travel as a US ambassador to Africa teaching them how to rap. She didn’t have to compromise at all. I got a bro who is working on a rap album to teach math to middle schoolers.

No compromise. Extra income working in government or family education. These are the types of people doing ministry and regular business that is not filled with iniquity. Those are the real heroes.

The people trying to partner with sinful rappers and sinful labels are just deceived and trying to get more attention for their brands.
