Gender Confusion? How can that be?

 One of the biggest discussions in society today is what is the gender of a person.  We have schools teaching children that they have the right to decide if they are male or female or gay or any other various flavor they choose.  People in our government leadership have flaunted this by proclaiming they are transexual and as a result we have seen a push for men to compete in women's sports, beauty contests and invading the women restrooms and shower facilities across the nation.  

Where could this type of behavior come from?  Is the God of the Bible approving of this approach?  In the book of Genesis God created man as male and female.  There are only two genders per His creation of mankind.  The devil is the one who is perpetrating this confusion.  If a man or woman can identify who they are per biblical scripture than they find themselves in who God wants them to be per His perfect plan and will for their life.  

By mudding the waters the enemy can destroy not only that person's destiny but all they effect.  Now as a believer in Jesus Christ do I despise people who have fallen into this trap?  I have the compassion of Christ for them.  I pray for their deliverance for they have been sold a lie and I must stand for what right and true per the Word of God.  

Church it is time we take on this issue and proclaim the Cross of Christ and His love to those who are bound by this deception.  For after all these who are bound are created in the image of our Father God and His gospel demands that we go to the highways and the byways to reach all who are lost.  Will you join me in this?

Was Covid-19 Crisis a separation process?

 In the nearly three years that we all experienced the COVID-19 epidemic I believe that God used this time to separate sheep from the goats.  For the question I have for the Church during this time is where was your faith in the supernatural God of the Bible?  Is He not the healing, delivering Saviour we claim Him to be?  Didn't Christ not only suffer at the cross for our sins but did He not take those stripes upon His back for our healing?  

The Bible declares that we don't have a spirit of fear but yet how many churches closed down and we're not able to offer hope and life to those who were caught up in a crisis that was destroying there hope.

The Church should have responded like King David when he faced Goliath and ran towards the battle and not from it.  There was a remnant of churches and ministries that were like David who opposed shutting down and reflected the warrior attitude of our risen Savior.  

I believe that many a church was caught off guard during this time and only responded as they did by closing out of fear to the situation.  I know that God is merciful but we as people of faith must seek the Lord on this to see where we should be versus where we are comfortable.  For His judgements are sure and I want to be aligned with His righteous cause going forward.  

If a church doesn't stand for the gospel of Jesus Christ in fullness  during a crisis is it truly His body?  Search your heart as and the the Bible for the answer.  

Why is Sacrifice Necessary?

What does the world have to offer that people try to run after it and thinks that it will provide them with the satisfaction that they seek?  Jesus said to seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things will be added unto you.  Could the answer that we all are seeking is to know God and to be in His presence, because in the presence of God there is fullness of joy.  Money, fame, possessions are all nice to have and enjoy, but if they are you are pursuing than you are not in a place that God would want you to be.  Greed will eat your soul alive and as you continue to try and feed it, you will find that you can’t be satisfied and eventually it will lead you to the death of you. 

 

However if one should pick up his cross and follow the example of Jesus Christ, by laying everything down, by not making your pursuit of worldly possessions your goal in life, but instead be willing to get to know the Savior of mankind with all your heart and soul, then the things that God will bring unto you will be able to meet not only your needs , but the needs of others because your heart will be free to give unto those who are less fortune than what you are.  The biggest thing that God is after is the heart of man because He wants relationship with us.  If we get our hearts aligned with Him and His way of doing things than we can enjoy life to the fullest because we will no longer be controlled by our sinful passions and desires and will live a life that is full of peace and joy in Him.  

Remember the two great commandments that Jesus Christ taught.  To love the Lord your God with all your heart, your soul and your strength and your neighbor as yourself.  Love covers a multiple of sins and if we as the Church are going to be relevant in the world we live in today than we need to allow His love to permeate us and be the reason why we exist so that the power of the cross can be properly demonstrated in a world that is looking for an answer to its sufferings and the power of evil which is keeping them suppressed.   For all of man is yearning to know God and we as His body must be willing to lead the way to hope and freedom by laying down our lives so that His name and person will be lifted up so that all men will see and know of the hope of salvation that only comes through Jesus Christ.  Will you join me in this crusade?  The choice is yours.

Expression of Faith in the Public Arena

Why does it seem that in the United States that the minority of people who oppose the expression of religious freedom in this nation have greater rights than those of us who adhere to primarily the Christian faith?  How many times have you read a story across the land where one person or a family brings to the attention of a public school that they are offended by the expression by someone’s faith whether it being with Bible reading, praying, etc., and then the school proceeds to shut down the entire program, offending everyone else who voluntarily choose to do this in the first place.
 
An example of this occurred in Huntington Indiana where an after school program, completely voluntary, in which parents allowed their students to attend a Bible class after school.  However one family complained that this was being done on public property and the school, after thirty years of service, shut it down over that one complaint.  Political correctness has robbed us of our freedoms and instead of liberating us is restricting the freedoms that were given to us by God and our founding fathers of this nation.  We are seeing what was considered deviant behavior being embraced while those who uphold traditional morals of right living per our faith and its practices are told to sit down and take it, because we are considered to be “holier than thou” and narrow minded bigots. 

I believe that Americans should be allowed to express their faith in public events as long as their expression does not cause harm to people and their property.  There is no such thing as we will all agree to everything that we all may want to participate or believe in so limiting a majority of people’s views because they offend yours is not acceptable unless there is true harm being created by it.  What has made this country great has been our freedom of the exchange of ideas and I tend to believe that if we continue on this path that we are creating without a return to what our Founders gave us, it will be only a matter of time that we shall no longer recognize what that foundation looks like and what we will be building upon at that time will be nothing more than sinking sand.

Where is the Kingdom ? Heaven or Earth?

In the world we live in today the Church of Jesus Christ is irrelevant.  When decisions are being reached that affect the moral climate here in the United States no one mentions the Church unless it during an election cycle.  It is during this time that you see the media mention the Church because of the influence it has had in electing a person like Donald Trump into office.  Outside of that you don't here the Church mentioned unless we raise our heads and start pushing back against the spirit of the Antichrist and its agenda of political correctness.  In this story from Fox News Colorado bakers, who opposed making a wedding cake for a gay couple because of their belief that it is a lifestyle they can't support, have lost nearly everything for what they believe to be right.  It is stories like this Christians are brought out by society as the bad guys and it is the way that the devil uses this to keep the Church suppressed by placing fear on our hearts that we could be faced with the same thing if we dare defy the spirit of the Antichrist and his agenda of political correctness.

This is not the Kingdom of God way.  Jesus told His followers to pray the following, " Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is heaven".  The will and desire of our God is to bring Heaven to Earth.  Christians need to be salt and light in this generation and we must be willing to let our light shine in the dark places of the world.  That means we must take our place on the battlefield of the world and bring God's Kingdom into all that are engaged in.  What does that look like? For me that means I must shine the light in places where I work, go to school at in the parking lot or shopping centers of the nation.  I must make my voice be heard by loving people with the love of Christ no matter what the cost.  Where the kingdom of God is in Heaven there is not sickness, there is no pain, no poverty or fear.  We must bring that presence with us and let it permeate those we are called to influence.  The Church is made of people.  We are called to be an Army of God bringing healing and deliverance in our hands.  Let us not be afraid but stand in faith and declare that the Kingdom of God in near and than let it manifest through us to those God has given us to show His goodness to.  It is time to take up a call of arms.  Are you ready to join me in the rally cry of the Spirit of Christ to bring forth the Kingdom of God for such a time as this?

Truth versus Deception

One of the things that the Bible teaches us is the power of words.  For as a man thinketh so shall he be and out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.  In each case words are involved in what a person thinks about and in what a person says.  In American today we are faced with a society that through the power of media and education that is opposed to traditional values held by Bible believing Christ like ones.  The reason we are seeing people demonstrate on our streets and wage war on our history is the fact that there are people out there who don't want our young people to know what America is truly about.

The devil is working through these people to tear down our foundation of biblical truth and freedom and liberty for all and is putting up " gates of hell" to drive wedges between blocks of people.  We are seeing such hatred of our president that is unprecedented in recent history.  That hatred is because God has appointed this president to help begin a movement to turn our nation back to its biblical foundations.  According to many alternative media sites there are several members of President Trump's cabinet that meet weekly in the White House for Bible study.  This is what is needed but the devil is fighting hard with his weapon of deception against this president and his cabinet in hopes of dividing his support for what he wants to accomplish in bringing America back to what God intends for us.

The Church of Jesus Christ needs to engage the culture as never before by standing by this president and understanding the times we live in.  This is a time where we are teetering on the edge of war within our society but in reality what we are truly faced with is an attack from the devil and his minions in hopes of suppressing the Church back to its four wall and not allowing it to impact the culture of media, government, the arts, business or religion its self.  The devil is hoping that believers will keep their mouths shut and will sing our little songs of worship within the church not to try and impact those we have influence with.  I must admit that I am tired of so called Christians bowing their knee at the alter of Baal and who won't be like Daniel's companions in Babylon who refused to bow their knee to the kings statue and instead were thrown into the fiery furnace.  Where are the ones who will be like those men in the midst of evil and wicked generation who are not afraid to call their God the only " true God" and will be willing to give up all they have for His purposes.  That is the type of people we need today to show the love of Christ to a generation of people who believe we are irrelevant.  Will you join me in this commitment to stand for Christ and for our nation and the reality of who we truly are, a Bible based, freedom loving land, not the war mongering or race hating nation that the devil and his minions want us all to believe that is not based in truth, but in deception. 

FEAR and ignorance are trying to rule America through Demon Power

In the years that have I lived on this people planet the longer I am convinced of the existence of good and evil.  When I was in my teenage years when looking back I how I was being educated by the public school system to depend upon the government for my answers.  I really started to believe that it was the answer to all things.  As I came into my early twenties I began a deep relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ and began to study the Bible for the first time in my life.  As I began to absorb the teaching of Christ I began to see the world in a different light.  I began to see that God is the source of all things and that government is only a tool which God uses to keep evil at bay.

Today most Americans who have not come to that realization are being swept up in the fact that the government is their god and if the right person is not leading the nation than we are doomed for hell.   Government has become a religion in its own right.  What we are faced with in America is the manifestation of demon power.  Those who oppose the current president of this nation are using tactics of the devil to undermine our nation and to destroy it from within.  The riots that happened this past weekend in Virginia and the destroying of Confederate statues is a movement that is bent on pinning the current trouble on those of us who believe in Biblical Christianity.  Why do I say that.  Those in the media who are working hand in hand with the devil are painting a picture that those who believe in the Bible and other moral rights that our backed by the Word of God are extremists who are out to say that there is no other way to live.   They are pushing to see the Church to accept all lifestyles as being good.  This is political correctness and a movement toward anarchy that must be stopped if our nation is to survive and thrive.

I believe that the reason we are where we are today is because of FEAR and ignorance.  Fear because the Church has not been willing to engage the culture like it should have with the power of love and the demonstration of that love with signs and wonders following.  The Church instead has retreated into her foxhole and now we are paying a price for it.  Most Americans do not consider the Church to be relevant and that is why now Government has taken her place as the moral voice of the nation.  Ignorance comes into play in that many of our young people don't know the true history of America.  Is America a perfect country?  No, but she has been a moral beacon and light to the world.  More missionaries have left this nation to impact the world than from anywhere else in the history of the world.  The tearing down of Confederate statues is not the answer.  Removing our past that some find objectionable is not the answer.  The Church needs to move behind the four walls of our building and begin to reengage those who are lost.  Return our nation to its foundation and its biblical heritage.  Share the true stories of our founding fathers and the faith they exercised in building this nation.  The enemy is using the FEAR of the Church and the ignorance of the population about our historical past to tear us apart.  I believe it is time to begin a revolution that will stop this devilish attempt and let our God be once again the center of who we are as a people.  Church let's not sit on the sidelines no longer and bury our head in the sand.  Let us arise and show the love of God to those who may despise us.  For the darkness that we are being surrounded by can not overcome the Light when we let Him shine.
