What’s the Point In Holding Word Ministers and Gospel Singers Accountable?
I mean, we’re all just human, right?
The point is that when holy music isn’t holy, and is not lived in a holy life, it is corrupted and leads to corrupt lives and corrupt fruit, and causes corruption throughout the Body of Christ.
James says be not many masters for they shall receive Greater Damnation because they cause many to stumble from obedience.
The point is also that false prophets come in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are hungry wolves, so beware.
We don’t hold leaders accountable out of anger for them, but out of care and protection for the people they influence, and their own eternal souls.
Another point is that ministry is not for actors, its for servants. So when we follow actors, we end up like them instead of like Jesus Christ. The next generation is impacted.
But the main point of all is that if we love Jesus, we must embrace the Spirit of Elijah to restore all things. Jesus is coming back for a Bride without spot, wrinkle, or blemish, and holiness hastens His return. So if we really love Jesus and want Him back soon, we PROTEST those things that are anti-Christ, and substitutes for Christ.
Whenever there is no scientific or mathematical way to ascertain truth, truth has to be determined by records, testimonies, witnesses, and evidence.
Human beings with the fear of God, wisdom, and God given reasoning ability are to watch and listen to these records, testimonies, evidence, and witnesses, and then make a decision on the situation.
You cannot believe everything you see on YouTube or on the Internet. But in the same way, you cannot believe everything you see in the newspapertube or radiotube or cnntube or abctube or movietube.
Everyone has an agenda to what they put in their tube, no matter whether they are a media corporation or You.\nIf their tube is better than your tube, then their mind is superior to your mind.
If thats the case then you just disrespected your own soul, which is made in the image of God. Instead of doing that, you make the decision to look for the truth.

I am in no way trying to show any insensitivity to any of the affected families if their children were actually killed. But, what I’m saying is where is the evidence that these children were killed? Where are the pictures? Where is the video of these events happening? There was no surveillance cameras? There were no cell phones?
I want you to watch these videos for the records, testimonies, evidences and witnesses that are in them. You be the judge and the jury to determine what happened at Sandy Hook.
Hypocrisy – actors in real life.
Watch this video… if this is true, what does that say about our nation?
Have you seen any pictures of the children shot up? Have you seen pictures of any in the hospital with bullet wounds? If any pictures existed, wouldn’t they be all over the Internet?
Here’s another one:
another expose on how hypocrites and actors faked Sandy Hook.
watch first! then pray…
keep in mind, all media trumpeted this within hours and MILLIONS of dollars were raised within days, and all the gun CONTROL legislation to push was ready within a week.
How long does it take the parent of a dead child to start a fund?
How long does legislation usually take to get written?
And the worst part is they prostitute young children for their schemes:
Here is a rebuttal – look in this article for evidence that the shooting really happened.
If it really happened, wouldn’t there be more concrete evidence, like a picture, or a believable testimony? If my child died, I could show you a picture of him alive, a picture of him dead, a death certificate, etc…
How about this – if I see conclusive proof that this was not a hoax – I will put a retraction and apology at the top of this blog, and leave it there forever!
Oh and look, What a cool incidence a month after the Sandy hook performance and PR campaign for president releases 23 executive orders that limits the effect of the Constitution of United States of America, and linking it to his National Health care which he already put in place.
But don’t mess with the drug industry’s profits, the next step is to get more control to redefine mental health into what we need it to be to control the population.
Journalists put people in danger by publishing a list of addresses of registered gun owners, but none of them would put a sign up in front of their house that says “No Guns Here.”
That is hypocrisy at its finest. What would cause government and media to excercise lying hypocrisy and real life acting skills at such a high level? What’s their motivation?
What to do?
Don’t fear them.
Fear God.
Be born again by believing exclusively on Jesus Christ the Son of God, and be filled with the Holy Spirit.
Read the Bible cover to cover over and over.
Pray and seek God for your purpose, judge what you hear, and obey Jesus Christ.
Love your family and enjoy life. God is your protector whether you have a gun or not – it doesn’t matter.
We really have it! We are already on top. In Matthew 16 Jesus gave Peter the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven. He said
18 And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. 19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”
When I teach on binding and loosing I don’t mean yelling at demons. I mean what we allow and disallow with our mouths, but especially with our ACTIONS.
From what Jesus Christ has said: we are not trying to get authority, we already have authority.
In Matthew 28:19, Jesus said that All power is given unto me… therefore YOU go… Why would He tell US to do something with the power that HE has. Because we are in Him, of course. The Body of Christ collectively. This makes total sense, especially combined with Matthew 16:19 and Luke 10:19.
Luke 10:19 – power to tread on power of enemy (I GIVE YOU)
Matthew 16:19 – keys to the Kingdom of heaven (I GIVE YOU)
I am NOT saying that as individuals we have all power over heaven and earth. I am saying that Jesus Christ has given us authority in Him.
The question becomes: What are we doing with our authority? Are we obeying Christ, or are we disobeying Christ? What has the church been allowing (loosing) on earth, that has now been loosed in heaven (the atmosphere over the earth)? What has the church refused to tolerate (binding) that subsequently been bound in heaven (the atmosphere over the earth)?
What we say goes… even if we don’t quite understand it. What we tolerate gets spiritual power. What we don’t tolerate loses spiritual power. If we as the Church want to change our cities and regions, it all starts with us. So many times we look up to government, media, entertainment, etc… When we should be looking down. Not looking down out of pride or becaue we are better than anyone else. But simply because Jesus put us on top. We need to lift these areas up.
So many times, we point the finger of blame at unbelievers, when its all our fault. Our frustration should not be with ubelievers, but our frustration should be with ourselves for giving unbelievers power to do what they do. My wife says all the time “If Christians didn’t support wickedness, wickedness would fail.” If everyone who claimed to be a Christian stopped supporting wicked entertainment, then wicked entertainment would not be successful. I don’t have the time to get into that on this blog, but that’s just the natural side. I was guilty of this myself as a teenager.
On the spiritual side, its undebatable! Why does abortion thrive? Because we allowed family planning to become acceptable. We gave the devil an inch in the church and he took a mile in the culture eeeeeasy. Why do half of marriages end in divorce? Because we do it in the church. Why is adultery and fornication rampant in our culture? Because of the spiritual adultery and spiritual fornication in the church. Then we point the finger at the government and at unbelievers when we haven’t cleaned up the Church.
Don’t get me wrong, I”m not saying that we can’t correct people that are unbelievers… But our main focus should be purifying the Church. I pray for our President and think he’s a cool person. But my main frustration with Obama is NOT with Obama, its with people in the Church that agree with him rather than searching for biblical principles of government. My frustration with Republican candidates is not against them personally… Its with Christians who think that Republican = Christian and don’t even search or second-guess the standard Republican ideas, which are not all necessarily correct according to scripture. I was guilty of this myself until i started finding out a more balanced and biblical view from a liberty perspective.
My main frustration with with wicked artists, wicked movies, etc… is not them (they don’t know any better). My frustration is with the Christians who support them and follow them and prop them up helping them poison our culture and make Harvesting Souls more difficult. We need PURITY in the Church because we have way more power than we think. We actually have ALL authority in heaven and earth, but we are just using it wrong. We are actually On Top Already. If we REPENT, its game over… the devil has no more of a chance. We need to protest ourselves.
Case in point: I know a lot of people that moved to Atlanta from Detroit. One of the things that I always heard about when I talk to them is the gay population that is really flourished and aggressive. I used to wonder, since when is Atlanta know for gay black men? There are other cities with lots of black people that are not necessarily “gay capitals.” Then when I heard about the famous Atlanta preacher sexually abusing boys… I got the connection – OHHH, the Church loosed that in Atlanta. You know what else… 30 days before, there was a solemn assembly of fasting, repentance and preaching that even prepared the way for that sin to be revealed. The Church bound it, and it was bound. Will the Church in Atlanta continue to purify?
What if the solution to our city gang problems was Unity in the Church instead of the wars of words?
What if the solution to abortion was us accepting all the Children the Lord gave us instead of buying the lie that children are a loss instead of a profit? I was guilty of this myself in the first few months of my marriage.
What if the solution to protecting marriage was the Church protecting our marriages, and stopping the spiritual adultery that looses the physical adultery?
What if the solution to cultural pollution was purifying the worship in our own Churches, building a house of prayer and keeping God’s Levites employed in that work day and night?
What if the solution to racism was desegregating the Body of Christ?
Judgement begins in the house of God (1 Peter 5)… We ALREADY have the authority, we have just been using it all wrong. We need to REPENT and turn our hearts to God. What we bind is bound, and what we loose is loosed. We need to Purify the Bride of Christ so that she can bind the wrong things and loose the right things in the Body of Christ, on earth. THEN it will be bound and loosed in the atmospheres over our cities.
This is just a short spur of the moment blog, so be gentle when poking holes in my arguments :-). I will be sharing more of the research and scriptures on this topic in the near future. We will be seeking to achieve the great repentance that is necessary to turn our city and nation around at DaHOP on Friday nights. Join us. Daniel turned a nation repenting and praying by himself! So if 3 of you come and join us on Fridays leading up to The Call and join us at The Call in TRUE REPENTANCE…. What could happen in our nation?
Make your way to Detroit on 11-11-11 for The Call. Pray with us. Join people all over Detroit that are fasting and praying in preparation for God to do something BIG in our city, nation, and world… NOW. Yes, NOW.
On Adultery and Hypocrisy in Christian Artists and Leaders
As long as the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ has been in existence, there have been false converts, weak brethren, false apostles, as well as honest believers that make mistakes. We all have been sinners at one time, and we still fight against sin.
There are plenty of pastors with children by different women in “their” congregation, and plenty of Christian artists that don’t live what they sing.
Even King David himself slept with his neighbor’s wife, and then killed her husband. However, God had mercy on Him, because David confessed and forsook his sin. Even then, David reaped exactly what he sowed. His own daughter was raped by his own son, then one of his sons killed the other… Then the son that killed the other son tried to kill him and takeover the kingdom! And his baby died. David had a brutal family life because of what he allowed into his family (2nd Samuel).
God is merciful and he will forgive you personally… (David was still considered righteous, and a man after God’s own heart, because of his repentant heart and faith in God’s mercy) but you will still reap what you sow! That’s an Immutable Spiritual Law.
7: Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8: For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
Galatians 6
Spirtual Law #2 – Confession and Exposure
Another scriptural promise that we should all be aware of is this: Whatever is done in secret will be seen in the light…
Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. 2: For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known. 3: Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
Luke 12:1
You CANNOT HIDE ANYTHING! It’s a spiritual principle! All sin is the result of believing a lie. One of the biggest and simplest lies satan tells you is that you are powerful enough to keep sin a secret. Its IMPOSSIBLE. The longer you delay confession the worse it gets for you.
This is why you must confess your sins. The bible says whoso hides their sins will not prosper or be successful at it or anything else… But whoso confess and forsakes shall have MERCY.
13: He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.
Proverbs 28
This is why I personally try to catch my sins in the thought stage, before they turn into words and actions. I know that God isn’t just on the outside of me, He’s inside of me looking at the video screen playing in my mind! If I notice myself lusting, or even cursing or saying non-blessings in my head, I’ll confess it to God while its still in my head. Otherwise, I know that I will reap what I sow, and I will not be able to hide it. It will be shouted from the rooftops and airwaves. Another benefit of doing this is that it builds intimacy, closeness and openness with God.
Ministry and Music
Do we throw away the Psalms because David sinned? No. Even the chapters before Psalms 51 are still scripture.
Do we throw away Proverbs because Solomon didn’t obey them? No.
Its the same thing with Christian music… If its Word-based, then its anointed by God. The Word of God is anointed. It’s our job to obey it and live it.
I always judge music by the lyrics. If I hear about a Christian artist that has sinned, I simply pray that they are restored, and have peace and righteousness in their life. Yes, I do get disappointed… but that doesn’t mean their music was ungodly.
Non Christians LOVE to see bold saints fall into sin, and they love to call them hypocrites, because they think it gives them an excuse not to love or believe in God at all.
BUT when judgment day comes, everyone will stand before God and be judged by God, and their own conscience will give witness that they are wicked without Christ’s mercy. There will be no excuses except the grace and mercy of Christ.
Instead of scoffing and laughing at Christians, professional sinners should tremble. Judgement only begins in the house of God (1 Peter), it doesn’t end there! When non-Christians see believers being exposed, they should not be haughty… They should actually fear God, and be careful to repent, because that means judgment is coming even harder and quicker for them! God always purifies HIS people first before the ungodly get theirs.
17: For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? 18: And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
1 Peter 4
Hypocrite – definition
1. one who answers, an interpreter
2. an actor, stage player
3. a dissembler, pretender, hypocrite
A hypocrite is simply a person who is not true. They are actors in real life. Remember that Jesus said in Luke 12:1, the doctrine of the Pharisees was hypocrisy. They were actors and professional pretenders. They were pretending in real life!
Jesus promised that if you are a pretender… the truth will definitely come out. It’s a spiritual law.
Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. 2: For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known. 3: Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
Luke 12:1
So here is the option: you will either confess the sins, or it will be shouted from the housetops. Either way, there is nothing hidden. Exposure is inevitable! There is no need to gossip or spread rumors, because eventually, it will be heard in the light!
Judgmental?
Some people like to say that if you preach the Truth, you are being judgmental… and somehow that causes you to be a hypocrite. Please read this scripture aloud.
9: Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10: Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 11: And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
1 Cor 7
Well, is reading that scripture aloud judgmental? The issue is not the whether we can speak the Truth or not; the issue is: are we living the Truth, or being actors in real life?
Now on to solutions…
How not to Be an Actor in the Kingdom
Avoid Pride in Real Practical Ways
Sin gets in under pride… We put artists and popular ministers on a pedestal, when they should be equal (not just theologically, but practically). They don’t have good accountability and fellowship. They are put on a pedestal and cannot have shoulder to shoulder fellowship with saints, because they are on a higher plane… and always by themselves on a plane. Keep a true Kingdom lifestyle of humility, fellowship, and brotherhood. Make yourself equal to the “lowest” brother in you know in a practical way.
Don’t Be Contentious
One evidence of pride is contention (Proverbs 13:10). A minister or artist is beefing with someone, or in strife, and that’s how satan gets in. Satan also gets into marriages by pride, then contention. If you feel like you are in a contentious fight with someone, humble yourself and let them win. Speak the truth and your belief and move on.
Travel with Your Wife
We need to do the simple things like travel with our wives. Peter and the other apostles who were married (1 Corinthians 9:5) did this. If you don’t have a wife, bring your teammate. The new Testament is full of lists of Paul’s teammates; most of them were NOT his peons, slaves, or armor-bearers… most were his co-laborers, co-apostles, and brothers. Jesus didn’t even start His ministry until he had a team. Ministry is TEAMwork!
Fast Weekly
People don’t really obey Christ Jesus’s command to fast that much. If you are heavy in ministry you need to be heavy in fasting. Even if you’re not doing a lot of preaching you should be fasting regularly as a part of the kingdom lifestyle as a regular believer. (Matthew 6, Matthew 9:15). Fasting is brutal for your flesh, it helps keep you disciplined, and it just simply multiplies the grace on your life.
Get Off the Stage
Go house-to-house, not just stage to stage. Teach your sphere of influence to live the lifestyle of the Kingdom of God. Teach whatever scriptures you learn on a weekly basis. Do bible studies. Throw house parties. Host prayer meetings. People need brotherhood, house-to-house fellowship, and lifestyle discipleship, not just stage-to-stage-to-stage-to-stage ministry. Those days are officially over. Stage-to-stage ministry alone leaves people empty and immature as professional spectators. And by itself, it keeps you an actor on a stage.
Keep it 50/50
Match your ministry-to-others time with your ministry-to-the-Lord time. If you are hosting a 3 hour event, first minister to the Lord in your closet for 3 hours. You can call it “50/50.” This will keep you balanced.
This world is corrupt, our sin nature is real, and the devil is on the attack. But our Faith is the Victory that overcomes the World! In the Blood of Jesus Victory is guaranteed.
More Solutions
One of best books I’ve ever read on adultery, fornication, and marriage is “Why Some Christians Commit Adultery.” It has been recently republished as “Why Good People Mess Up” This book is detailed, deep, but surprisingly quick, easy to read, and full of real life stories. It talks about spiritual defilement, voyeurism, masturbation, psychological adultery, transference of spirits, dating, cultural strongholds, and much more! Order it here.
