Well, After Christ Left Us (ACLU), things took a turn for the worse. Having witnessed the ACLU push the notions that formed so many men and women's attitudes over the decades, the rest of us have possibly SINNED by remaining silent for too long. We Veterans are no cowards and the CROSS will ever be a reminder of the ULTIMATE SACRIFICE.

Greater Love has no man/woman than to lay down their life for a friend - This is not only what Jesus would do...it is what HE DID! So, ACLU body, take a long look at the cross which you want to remove and imagine a world (a Nation) where no hope can be found any place we try to look. For most, the cross symbolizes love, endurance, a bright hope for the future and so much more. May you See what we See and Hear what we Hear....and Know what the rest of us Know. Then, we can embrace the afore resisted truths which is embodied in the cross: After Christ Left Us....THE CROSS STILL REMAINS!

Glory To GOD!

In seeing where we are, the battle has spread from the minds of men, to the ears of men, to the hearts of men, past the brains of men, to the mouths of men and again to the ears of other men (mankind) and so it goes until all are poluted with earthly rhetoric which fails to bring God glory.

As I kneel and pray for our President and leaders, I find that much of what is said in public is a direct result of private activities - which could be public knowledge if many of the Body of Christ would take a stand and DEMAND our constituents which we've elected to report back to us on a much more frequent basis as to the decisions that are being made.

And when this is done, we will see the forces of darkness flee as the resistance will rise (to the devil's attacks and temptations).

Speaking of TEMPTATIONS, they lead to sin. Resisting satan (demons) will result in victory. Now, in any church, black, white, red, or yellow - we can all RESIST SATAN and them Demons. This will kill POLITICS and LIES. At this very moment, another life is destroyed in some dark place in AMERICA!

If we all obey Scriptures, we will see God's Glory in each other and denominationalism will cease - now this is what is at the root of this story - COGIC being over 7 million strong, and reportedly black.

Last time I checked here was the Divine Order:

1. God's Love, Sending Jesus (God, The Son)
2. Jesus Dying on the Cross For All MANKIND
3. ANYONE Who believes this can Have Life Eternal
4. Belief in God removes Prejudice!
5. Christians became our Title at Antioch
6. The "Name" we are called by is - YOU GUESSED IT - Superior to any DENOMINATION or sect.
7. We are all Baptised into ONE BODY - The Church.
8. If you don't believe this, you cannot PLEASE GOD.
9. If you lie - the TRUTH is not in you.
10. If you HAVE TRUTH, God Approves of YOUR MESSAGE
11. When He RETURNS FOR HIS CHURCH, Everyboy will SEE WHOSE LEFT and WHO LEFT! :)

Pentecostal Leader Paints Bright Future for Assemblies of God

All things having to do with God have the brightest future among earth's affairs and movements - Phil 1:6.

What need be done is for the BODY to come together as ONE. Denominationalism has an origin which is opposite of where God intended. Prophetically speaking, when we look back at the Book of Acts, The Holy Spirit united those obedient disciples by indicating that Jesus was now on the "Inside" of each recipient of His Spirit - as they spoke in tongues. Since that time, sin has crept in through partiality and what now must happen is repentance (also found in Peter's Sermon in Acts 3:19) and after that, God will "Refresh His Church!" But I doubt it will happen before we hear (and obey) a preacher tell the Whole Truth.

In our lifetime - quit possible. We have done more in the last 40 years and the death of one person cannot stop His Grace which is TOTALLY AMAZING!

But, we need not all die before we REUNITE as THE BODY OF CHRIST. My soul weeps in longing for the Day (in our time) where we can SHOCK the socks off the worldly and Lift up Jesus and Draw All Men Unto Himself (Within us who believe).

Church, can we make this the Vision-Goal-Obedient Kept Word of our hearts - collectively as His Body?

No need for another soul to sleep before we all take a look at the man/woman in the mirror and ask where is the Fire Within. If it isn't there, we can Ask, Seek, and Knock until God Rewards those who will diligently seek Him. Now, let us Rise (from these ashes)and Be On Our Way... 1 Lord, 1 Faith, 1 Baptism (Of the Holy Ghost)

Amen?

Ministry Reveals Disturbing Statistics on World's Youth

Thu Jul 30, 2009 11:24 am Agree: 5   Disagree: 0

I was reading in Leviticus 18 concerning a stern warning which the Lord God gave concerning sacrificing our children to Molech (v. 21). We shouldn't do that.

Always, we need to know what our children think and believe. These statistics scream that the parents have let them go their own way. This is a direct result of not training up our sons and daughters "in the Way that they should go."

Now the reason the children don't believe has more to do with the "living example" that they see from the adults and their own parents - perhaps. Everybody loves the gift which sex is but everybody isn't so thrilled about the latter gift - children! This is at the root of our problem: we take God's Gifts and Run instead of standing firm and seeing them through to a sound adulthood. This is why the report is so alarming - we've let go of our BABIES!

It matters not where one lives on the earth, the greatest matter is Obedience to Our Heavenly Triune God. There is no peace apart from Him! If we read the Book of Hope (The Bible) and we focus on our One Hope (Jesus Christ), we will begin to practice His Presence in a world which needs to see the Glow which comes from Time Well Spent With Our Personal Lord and Saviour.

This is the only cure for the generations - Christ Alone.

Jesus is Longing To Be Love By His Church, which He Gladly Came To Save from the Law of Sin and Death.

May God Have Mercy Upon Us Who Bear His NAME - and He rejoices over us because of Jesus Christ's Perfect Sacrifice.

"Now unto Him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you faultless before His Throne with exceedingly great joy, to the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and dmajesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen."

Massachusetts Sues U.S. Over DOMA

The big question is found in Luke 6:46 which states, "and why call ye Me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things I say?"

Jesus, The Only Begotten Son of The Father, posed this question at a time in history when folks were on their own bends in life. It was due to the prince of the power of the air (satan) and indicated that as satan goes about seeking whom he may devour - that he found some victims! Both then and now, we miss this truth (satanic searching for victims) of the potential to be devoured by a seducing spirit. We must be sober and vigilant as 1 Peter 5:8 warns!

Well, DOMA today, Christianity tomorrow - or this afternoon! Time is VERY SHORT. We must pray that we endure the tribulation(s) that are coming and be counted worthy to "meet the Lord in the air."

I vote to turn off all ungodly sources of communication and seek His Face and thank God for His Hand in our present affairs. While the Holy Spirit is restraining the forces of darkness, we must be in prayer for our own salvation (with fear and trembling).

The God of the Bible will always have the LAST WORD!

Let those who have ears hear what the Spirit is saying to the Church - The Little Flock that will be redeemed. The real issue before us is "who is making disciple of men from all nations, by first forsaking the cares of this life/world?

If we could endure Sound Doctrine (via Discipleship), we would not be this close to the brink of disaster. If we could hear and obey God's Voice on a global scale (as the Body of Christ) we would not have to "fire one shot" in our generation in effort to end abortion. All that would be needed is prayer and humility. God's Grace has (after all) proven suffient even in these murderous and adulterous times.

What about the True Gospel? What about Prayer, Fasting and Loving thy neighbor as thyself?

Well, since we (God's People) refuse to humble ourselves and pray...our land will NEVER be healed and anything that has "gang green" must be cut off, eventually. So, pray that our flight be not in winter!

The Cure: We must repent while there is still time and Return to Being True Watchmen...or the blood will be on our hands (Ezek.33:6)

The REALITY: But The Father Loves us SO MUCH that His Mercy surely hasn't gone un-noticed by the few. And for this, we are most thankful as we watch and pray.

Let us convince the unsaved world that we are truly following the Way, that is the Truth, which leads to Life in The Father's Kingdom, Amen?

If we keep underestimating our Adversary (Satan), we will not "escape the temptation that is before us every day of our natural/spiritual lives!" We can do better than this, I believe. I hope this makes good sense and is in keeping with the OT and the NEW. May God have Mercy upon this generation as we go our way. The necessity is (NOW) that we "Follow Jesus."

Renowned Apologist and Atheist Debate 'Does God Exist?'

Tue Apr 07, 2009 8:44 pm Agree: 1   Disagree: 1

Creation Talk is a foundational aspect of Biblical Discipleship. What Triune God created must possess the qualities of The Creator. Our God is One. He changeth not. He is ageless (Eternal) and therefore what He has made (being all good) has the potential to represent His Qualities of "agelessness."

Now as to The Son, Pilate said "behold the Man!" We should! Looking unto Jesus who is the Author and Finisher of our faith (Body of Christ) is all we need do.

The Holy Spirit works powerfully in both time and eternity (and the space in between) to guide us, confort us, and give us that which we had not prior to our "calling upon the Name of Jesus for Salvation - God's Gift of Love, Mercy, and Peace to all of mankind."

Man, the apple of God's Eye, must embrace the water and blood and spirit (breath) this life if we are to stand before The Father's Throne - Rehabilitated and Unimpaired. Well, that last part was from Brother Oswald Chambers.

Time - God speaks of "today" as the "great imperative." We must respond (in faith) to the Divine. We can only react to the humanity (carnality) which serve to keep one from rendering life's most important decision - being saved and helping others to do the same!

Love is united with Faith and Hope to produce a "suitable environment" for these three: 1) God's Saving Grace to flow to all - John 3:14 - 17; 2) The Spirit's Ministry in the world (along with holy angels); and the anointing upon men as they yield to God in humility and are empowered to produce spiritual change via The Preaching Of The BEAUTIFUL GOSPEL - without controversy, AMen.

Great Word, Pastor Warren. God's Game Plan is for the Gospel to be preached....to the whole world until the end of this age which is at the door. What must remain is FAITH and PATIENCE. The Church, this age, and the world (lost) have to agree with God - He desires that none be lost (starting first with Israel and then the Gentiles, Us). So TRUTH will be heard, FAITH will come by hearing, and the man of God has the Spirit (not by power or might) to Gracefully cause a miracle of God that will result in the redemption of lost souls, GLory To God in the Highest!

With over 6 Billion souls alive on planet earth, it is a matter of discriminating ideas which have resulted in the starvation/oppression of these rich souls in Africa. As a black American, I see the woes of this kind as evidence of pure evil. If we accept the dislocation of all souls as the norm, then satan wins. If we finally admit to ourselves that we are all eternal, we can fulfill the mandate of Jesus (Who isn't everybody's Jesus - yet) and deny ourselves and take up or crosses and follow HIM. May the day comes when love is manifested first in prayer and then in public service to all of mankind as we canvas our word with the Love of God (Trinitarian Love). Can we do it? Will we try harder? What would it take? Imagine if we refused to sleep until evil is exposed and love reigns just as God is Sovereign - what a wonderful place this world would be. Then, we could walk in brother and sisterhood and truly hasten the return of the KING!

Can these bones live? Let us ask the HEAD OF THE CHURCH! He (Jesus) has already answered us in those 3 days after His death, He ROSE! Now, what further evidence (besides our childlike faith) is needed - none, I propose.....Let us be on our way to a better day!
Fact: if we all gave a dime, we'd cancel debt, war, hatred, and increase love and joy - simply by giving of ourselves....John 3:16. Read it with the imagination of 7 Billion Souls who need to hear it this time, Amen?

God's will is being done - but we move ever so slowly. We must confront all sin as evil and stop dividing them into denominational or "big/little" sins. Racism, hatred, lust, adultery, and murder all lead to the same thing - death (separation from the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness). But the Gift of God is Eternal Life - both now and in eternity. Question is....when do we really, and truly want it!? Jesus already paid for sin on Calvary's Cross, but we are "still gazing up into heaven, waiting for our proverbial change to come!" God demands character from those who are "called by His Name." But we fall short of His expectations when we see color. The sad truth is far too many disciples of Jesus have been taught to live by carrying their crosses to the place where we eventually burn them. My Pastor reminds us at our church to "See Through a Given Matter" so as not to be tempted to succumb the satanic device of being distracted from the BEST that life has to offer - Jesus calls this "life to the fullest." The question at hand is: "what ever are we going to do with the Gift of God?" Let’s cease to trample it under foot. The greatest sin of the church - after all this time is the sin of disobedience - failing to love one another as Jesus loved us and gave Himself for us.
I won't sin by holding back my feelings here and I won't step over the boundary of communication by using "stirring words" but it is Jesus that we must preach! Then all the ends of the earth will fear Him (Psalm 67).

I close with this definition of preaching: "The proclamation of the Good News about God's Kingdom made manifest by the life, death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, God's Love-Gift to all mankind - with the intent of eternal spiritual change."

Beloved, because of God’s Gift, we all must endeavor to strive for the goal and prize of the High Calling of God in Christ Jesus - SPIRITUAL CHANGE - to the Glory of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. I bend my knee (holy living) to the One who sits on the throne in heaven and unto the Lamb of God, seated at His Right Hand - ever making intercession on the behalf of His Body - the church! May we never quit pressing on, Amen.

God Bless our mess - at least that we have been saying for over 230 years, right? Every generation has failed the test. The best and brightest have been born "free and brave" for almost 300 years and we have not the courage to believe God fully!

I am not ashamed of being Black. I am not ashamed of my Faith. I am not ashamed to serve my country via the military (presently) and I will never be ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ!!!

Now, what really needs to happen is that we must Push Satan and his imps back to the gates of hell and finally EUTHANIZE HATRED - which has been on life support for far too long! Every generation serves the demons of their fathers (Via known sin) and we are no better. If the Democratic Party will ever have a fighting chance (to win the White House), UNITY IS THE WORD OF THE DAY. If America is to live out her truest self, we must die to self, and take up our crosses and follow Jesus with our whole heart - for a change. Here is my list of 5 suggestions:

1. Bring prayer back to our society, schools, colleges, and dinner table.
2. Sacred and Public (unsegregated) devotion must be had by all Americans - In Jesus' Name ONLY!
3. Confession of our sins before God (Believing that He hears us) will please Him and bring lasting healing.
4. Fathers, take responsibility for your children and all children that you love!
5. Mothers, if you don't need to work, stay home and pray for your husbands (who should be working) and deny this wicked and adulterous generation and the money that has ruined so many families - money is a tool not our fuel, Amen?

Lastly, I know I've been silent for a time but, whosoever becomes president next year, we'd better pray for them and our pastors who only desire to tell the truth - which sets us all free!

I worship God, the Maker of heaven and earth, may the many become truly one and preach the gospel to the entire world so that we can wrap this thing (age) up and meet Jesus; Face to humble face (ours).

Glory to God in the highest, and good will towards all (men, women, and children) - all over the earth (which God so very loves). Amen.

Revelations 3:11 and 12 states that, "Behold, I am coming quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown. He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go out no more. I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God. And I will write on him My new name."

I pray that no one loses their crown which Jesus has promised to those that will "endure" until the end. If someone looses their crown, they are ineffective as a Christian/Saint. This makes them unusable in the world that is lost and dying without any hope and without God! It is now time to cease sinning in all its various forms (and repent and have our sins blotted out). If we turn from our sin and turn to God, we can be healed and cleansed by the Power of God's Holy Spirit. The sad truth is this: The Gospel is not "beautiful" to a person who continues to sin! This is deception in its purest form (if I can use the word, purest). May we all obtain mercy from the Lord and desire less to be identified with the "swift and the strong," but rather with the "ones who endure until the end!"

Being a darker shade of "God's Image" and "His Glory," we all would do well to humble ourselves and pray and seek God's Face. Impurity is the reason we cannot "enter into His Deeper Truths." Salvation is at the "water-level" of His Divine Plan. But, Maturity includes the mandate to move from the water of the Word to the Milk of the Word, and onto Meat of the same. Meat-eaters (of His Word) are not racists! This sin prevents America from experiencing God's Higher Power. Saints, let us take a deep breath, learn to wash each other's feet, no matter what color they are. When we do this, we will all live out the truest meaning of freedom. Jesus said that "whomever the Son sets free, is free indeed." It's time to change. The Gosple applied equates to spiritual change (as the Etheopian cannot change the color of his skin) - its an inside job done by the indwelling JESUS.

HE IS LORD. JESUS LOVES THE LITTLE CHILDREN: Red, Yellow, Black, and White, they are ALL PRECIOUS IN HIS SIGHT - lets close our eyes if they cause us to sin! AMEN.

Whoever loves overcomes the world (racism, hate, and all barriers). Hospitality means treating strangers in a manner that would lead to a good report. Remember angels may have visited us unawares and if they report back to Our Father in heaven, that there is racism in America, what are we EVER TO DO? Lord, Please Help Us. AMEN

I am amazed that a Pastor is yet the target of other Christians - in 2007!. The American Church had better repent of its deep-rooted sin, namely the sin of ENVY!

We read in Matthew 27:18b that "they handed Jesus over because of envy."

We all should Thank God for the impact that all True Pastors have in our society. Again in the Gospel of Matthew, Chapter 7, Verse 1 warns of the danger of judging another of God's Prized Creations: Mankind. IF one judges, he or she stands qualified to be judged also. Let us examine ourselves in order to partake of the Holy Communion in the proper manner (and on a regular basis - in an effort to remain pure). 1 Cor. Chapter 11 warns of the consequences that pertain to partaking of the Lord's Body and Blood in a manner unworthy - sickness and death are the possible results!

Saints, please ask for God's mercy and let us all press for the prize of the High Call of God in Christ. It appears to me that Pastor Osteen has found the perfect will of God for his life - I rejoice with him in his success that is promised if we keep our mind and heart fixed on The Living Word - Jesus, The King of the Jews (Joshua 1:8b). A true disciple is effective, inspirational, powerful, and will win many souls for the King - that is what we must do. God Bless all of you.

Everyone that believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the Father, loves his child as well. This is how we will know that we love the children of God: by loving God and carrying out His Commands (1 John 5:1-2). Lastly, His Comands aren't burdensome.

All of God's messengers through the ages have demonstrated an unusual annointing in their day. Pastors- Joel Osteen, Billy Graham, Greg Laurie, and many others have found their purpose in life by the Amazing Grace of God! Let us join the number who "Take Up His Cross and Follow Jesus!" Please forgive me if I've mispelled anyone's name.
