the power of the sickle mark 4:29

hello all. Tonight we will be discussing Mark 4:28, the blade, the ear and the full corn in the ear. In this society, we work longer hours and are busier than ever before. The purpose of these longer hours is to get provision[money] to take care of bills etc. God has given us a way to get our needs met, that exist outside of overtime , 2 jobs, 3 jobs etc. This was a revelation to me about this way, and I want to share it with you.

In the Garden of Eden, Adam had to trouble with provision. God placed Adam in the garden[ eastward, Gen 2:8] . The man was not created first, the environment in which he was to rule, came first. The word "eastward" is there to tell you that Adam had a choice. He could go westward,northward or southward if he wanted to. Obedience is the guarantee that your provision will be met.

The provision was there so that Adam could perform his duties on earth , and thus spreading the Garden of Eden throughout the earth. The provisions were food, water, wife, gold etc. Anything he needed to aid in him completing his task was freely given to him. Everything came to him with "NO SWEAT". God put Adam to sleep and made a woman from him. She was the woman of his dreams. This is the way He intended for all of his children to live.

When Adam and his wife transgressed against the Lord, they were kicked out of the provision, and now Adam would have to make a living by the sweat of his brow. Everything that he will do from now on, he'll have to work twice as hard to obtain it. Many people are working just like that. This is a result of the curse that was put on this earth. Everyone would work harder and if you'll notice the genealogy from Adam to Noah, mans days were being shortened as well[Genesis 5]

I'm not saying"don't work", I'm saying that your job was not designed to supply your need. That job{assignment] was designed to bring out giftings in you, but IT IS NOT YOUR SOURCE. Remember also that we are in another kingdom, the kingdom of God. This kingdom has a King[Jesus] it has citizens[you]it has currency[faith]it has and endless supply of provision, and you don't have to wait to get to heaven to have it.

When the children of Israel was in Egypt[ the book of exodus] they earned a living by working for Pharaoh. They worked and worked and worked until some of them fell over dead. If you'll notice that they were in Egypt, but they couldn't think outside of Egypt; so their environment formed their thinking[ now think about your job]. God delivered them by the hand of Moses, they are headed to the promise land. Where are they going to work while they are in the desert for 40 years? Who is going to supply their need, without a job?
As long as they follow the Cloud by day[old testament ] and the fire by night[new testament]
they would eventually get there. The trip was only supposed to take about 3 months, if they obeyed. The Lord supplied everything they needed, water food, clothes, shelter, shade,protection, 401k plan, health and dental etc. Once they started complaining, the provision got cut off.

Think about this; they were to sow in the land[work] for 6 days, and on the 7th day, they rested.
They were to sow in the land for 6 years and on the 7th year, the land rested. My question to you is, how are they going to cause any vegetation to grow, when there was no RAIN? THE LORD did it. There was one miracle after another, all they had to do is keep moving.

The sabbath day was designed to remind man that one day, God would return His people back the place where they no longer had to supply their own needs. The sabbath is now inside of every believer. Jesus is the Lord of the Sabbath[Matthew 12:8]. Sabbath means "REST". What He is saying is that I've go you covered; stop worrying about what you will eat,drink, put on, what kind of car you will have, where are you going to live, who are you going to marry etc[mat 6:28-33]. The way they got their needs met was by sowing and reaping, not buying and selling. This was a new way of thinking that exists outside of what they were used to. Are you in this bunch? Are you sitting at your desk wondering" what am I going to do"? I'm glad you asked!

[ ask me about the difference between buying and selling vs sowing and reaping]

Lets look at this scripture:mark4:26-29] Jesus start of with this" the kingdom of God ".

As a man should cast seed to the ground . Mark 4:14 says that the seed is the Word of God, or the sower soweth the Word. In order to sow seed, you need a field to sow in. This can be looked at 2 ways. When someone is getting ready for college, they ask them "what FIELD" are you going into? Most people don't even realize that It is God that led them to that profession. the other way is that your heart is the field, since you were made of the dust of the ground[Gen 2:7]

And should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should spring up He knoweth not how: first ,God wants you to know[Hosea 4:6] He does not want you left in darkness[ignorance].
The first part of this verse speak of time. In the eternal realm, there is no time, so you can get what you need in no time at all[Amos 9:13] As long as you meditate on time rather that the things eternal, you will never know. This is a spiritual reality and therefore your natural mind won't be able to comprehend this.

The earth bringeth forth of itself, first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear. If you want to know what was planted in the earth, just look at the fruit;
but when the fruit is brought forth, immediately, he puts forth the sickle, because the harvest has come. The sickle is 2 things : handle[faith] and blade[the Word, Hebrews 4:12]
so lets put it all together:

What are you believing God for? What do you need? What do you want? How do I get the bills payed with this little bit of money? How do I save my marriage? How do I get the kids tuition payed? How will I get healed? etc.

You first need a word. The seed is the Word, and your heart is the soil in which you will plant the Word [psalms 119:11]. You do not get to choose which scripture you will use for your deliverance. The Holy Ghost will lead you to the scripture.
Jesus was the word made flesh[john 1:14] Jesus was not the scripture made flesh. The scripture goes in your head, but the word goes in your heart. As long as the scripture is in your head and not in your heart, it won't do you any good[James 1:21]. Once you have been led to the scripture, you take it and put it in your mouth and begin to confess it. Once that word has made it into your heart, the word will begin to direct you as to the next move you should make[psalms 119:105][psalms 119:130] The Word is both light and lamp. You mediate on that word daily. Every time you think about it, SPEAK IT. As water is to a seed, so is confession to the word.
You continually do this until you see manifestation.

The devil[satan, serpent etc] will not just let you do this with out a fight. Mark 4:15 says that satan cometh immediately to take the word out of the "HEART" for which it was sown.
You will notice that circumstances will rise up[trouble, issues etc] to try to get you to confess something other than the Word you was given. Stay on course as much as possible, don't let go of that word. The sickle is what you will need to cut down or isolate that thing you need, to bring what you've been believing for into this natural realm so you can take hold of it.

Let me give you an example: My wife and me were believing God for a Toyota Avalon. In Prayer, I asked Jesus, what is my word for this car? it was actually the scripture I've been using in this teaching[Mark 4:28].
In Hebrews 11:3 it says that by faith we know[not guess] that the worlds were framed by the word of God . So for me to get this car into my hands, I need a "FRAME" of reference. Everywhere I looked after that, all I could see was Toyota Avalons.
I pull into a parking space, guess what was beside me? I would be on the highway, guess what would be in front of me or beside me or behind me? You guess it, Toyota Avalons. What is going on here? God is taking what I am believing for and putting it in a "FRAME". This is what the scripture calls" the blade", it is the outside manifestation that what I am doing is working.

The "EAR" of the corn is what's on the inside of the blade, it is the hidden manifestation of the harvest. I was riding up to Roanoke VA on a trip, and I rode by this business, that had a Toyota Avalon sitting in the parking lot, with a for sale sign on it. Keep in mind, we have searched the Internet, gone to car dealerships, looking for that car. The Lord said" get out and walk around it, so I did. That car became the corn, meaning that It was isolated from all the other cars we looked at, now our focus was on that one. It wasn't but a few days later, and we took that car home, and I still have it today. This is the Full Corn in the ear, meaning that We took it out of the place where it was isolated, and brought it into our hands. The sickle was working the whole time. The sickle is working throughout the entire process to get it into your hands.

I used this method to get my air conditioner fixed this summer. it went out right in the middle of summer. It was 100 degrees in my house and my wife, daughter, son in law, and the dogs were miserable. I took a blank piece of paper and wrote on it" you are the best air conditioner in world, and you will bring us fresh cold air and you will not break down. This machine was making all kind of noises, but my faith was not shaken by that. I took that piece of paper and taped it to the side of that air conditioner, and the thing started working again. Later on however, it completely broke down. I went to prayer and asked the Lord" what is my word to get this fixed"? He took me to Gen 3:8 where it say" the voice of the Lord came walking in the "COOL" of the day. I took that word and put it into my mouth and began to confess it[matthew 12:34]. That word led me to the provision that I needed to get the unit replaced. It's in our house now. I've used this for our cars, my home, my musical instruments, my wife, my health,my business, my weight loss etc. This way will not make sense to anyone that is walking by sight, but if you walk by faith, this will work , NO SWEAT![2cor5:7] I welcome your response

Phillipians 4:6 be careful for NOTHING!!!!

Hello out there. I hope all is well with you today. my wife and I have been doing a study of Phillipians 4:6-8. Be careful for nothing[don't worry about a thing]; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your request be made known unto God. Lets deal with this verse first. When The apostle Paul wrote this epistle, he was writing it from prison.. Here is Paul ,in jail and he is writing words of edification, exortation and comfort to people who weren't in jail. I think this is amazing, that inspite of the issue he is going through, he still has mind to encourage the church. [paul wrote Ephesians, Philippians,Colossians from jail]

Some other prerequisites to this entire chapter is that the philippians church was the only church that supplied Bishop Pauls' need while he was out preaching abroad at that time. The other churches wasn't too sure if Paul really had changed. How is it that Paul went from killing christians to pastoring them within just a few years. How does Paul go from being a terrorist to being a Bishop? Notice what is happening, the people who judged him based on his past, could not get the full benefit of what Bishop Paul had to offer. If you will search the new testament books that Paul wrote to the churches and you'll find that the epistles that he wrote from prison
[ephesians, pilippians,colossians]weren't as long. Why? He didn't have to encourage them as much because they were able to get the benefit of trusting their bishop, Paul. The ones who weren't sure, you'll notice that their epistles are longer.

What I am saying is that if you don't trust in your man or woman of God to rightly lead and guide you, the congregation will constantly be in need of another push or more encouragement. The congregation will not produce the fruit of the spirit[gal 5:22], they will manifest the works of the flesh[gal 5:19]. The congregation will walk in confusion and will not know the mind of the spirit. All of the auxiliaries in the church will be out of order, but it won't be noticable by just the regular church goer.

Trust in your leadership is a must. The Holy Ghost will lead and guide you into all truth,; He will tell you the truth, ALL THE TRUTH. You can then form the judgment from there. So let's disect this verse for further clarification.

Be careful for nothing[ Don't worry about a thing]but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving; prayer is not limited to you being on your knees, on your face, on your back etc. It is simply communication with Jesus[God]. I can do that while I am walking down the street, cut the grass, wash the car etc. Prayer is when you talk to God and He talks back, thats' it. You ask a question, He gives you the answer!

Prayer and supplication: these two things are similar, so the word "AND" connects two things of equal rank. for instance Genesis 1:1 say in the beginning God created the Heaven"AND" the Earth. So we see here that Heaven and earth were not two ,but one.[ I now pronounce you Husband "AND" Wife] The two have become one. Prayer and supplication are one. Supplication is a more detailed prayer. When you pray, be specific as to what you need. Don't ask God for a financial blessing, you might find a dollar on the sidewalk. WHO MUCH DO YOU NEED?

Prayer and supplication"WITH THANKGIVING": you are thanking Him for answering that prayer even though you don't see the results right away.

Let your request be made known unto God: When you asked your employer to get a day off, you put in a request for it. They might grant the request or they might not. You can always garuntee that your prayer was answered , if it is according to His will[1st John 5:14]. The specifics of your prayer must be based in scripture. The request will be denied if the specifics of your prayer is selfish,devilish, self-serving, dishonest, without faith and void of understanding.

And the peace of God : it doesn't say" The God of peace". So what is the difference? The God of peace means that He has that attribute, but hasn't shared it with mankind yet, it is still in the eternal realm. The peace of God means that there is peace coming out of God for your benefit.

That passes all understanding: peace is there for you and will remain with you even when you don't understand how God is going to do it. Gods' peace will out run your understanding. The secret is that Gods' peace has understanding embedded within it; so as long as you are trying to figure it out, you won't figure it out. His peace has figured it out for you! Praise God

Keep your heart and minds: This peace of God will keep[watch over,guard,protect] Your hearts"AND" minds. earlier, we talked about the word "AND". It connects things of equal rank.
Your heart[ not the blood pump but the center of your spirit] receives the Word before your mind does. your mind receives scripture before your heart does. He put heart in front of mind because the peace of God is a spiritual reality, and therefore it must be received by your spirit, then it goes from your spirit to your head, and your head will tell your body to line up with what is in the spirit. What is the result of this? You sleep better, your not depressed about the issue at hand, you are not worried, and most of all "YOU ARE NOT VEXED BY DEMONS'. The peace of God is designed to wipe out all demon activity that comes against you because of your prayer, that is prayed in faith.

through Christ Jesus: It doesn't say " Jesus Christ", it says "Christ Jesus". Christ is a mantle that was on Jesus. You can use the "anointing". Jesus completed everything he started, every prayer he prayed was answered[except 1] every demon that came against was defeated, he even opposed the natural laws of this world, raise the dead, rose again etc. All of this would not have been accomplished, if he wasn't anointed. The anointing is designed to do through you, something that only God can do. The word "THROUGH" is to say that we have to put on the same mantle that Jesus had on him. When you receive the Holy Ghost, you "put on CHRIST"[ gal 3:27] Christ is something you wear, Jesus is inside of you, and He is wearing you like a shirt or coat, then you are wearing the anointing in the same manner so it looks like this

Christ------you[1st thess 5:23}[Jesus]----you----Christ:

If you line up with this model, you qualify for His peace. This is referred to as "THROUGH"! I look forward to your response.

Prayer, Part 2 intercessory prayer and the office of the mediator

Hello out there. This evenings subject is prayer. Prayer is simply communication with God, and visa versa. You have heard people say that "God answered my prayer". Prayer also includes Jesus answering it. When we pray According to His will[Ist John 5:14] He hears us. God is not waiting to answer your prayer; He answered it before he said "Let there be light"[Isa 46:10]. Prayer is powerful, if it is done with understanding. Just as gasoline is to a car, so is a prayer that is prayed with understanding. I was asked today about the subject of intercessory prayer, and what is it. Lets' talk about this powerful tool called intercessory prayer

In the beginning, before the fall of man, there was no need for an intercessor. Adam had full access into the heavens as well as in the earth. there was no need for anyone to stand in the gap
for Him or His wife. The word "prayer" is not mentioned until you get to 2sam 7:27. Before the fall, God[Jesus] and Adam talked with each other, and there was no distractions there. After Adam and His wife fell, and was kicked out of the Garden of Eden, The fellowship Between heaven and Earth was severed. Who is going to intercede for them ? There was no one to do it.

Cain and Abel came along and They offered their sacrifices to God, we all know what happened next. the point I'm making is this, Even when Abel was dead, his blood"CRIED"[Gen 4:10]
Abels' blood was acting as a mediator on his behalf against Cain. Before Adam and His Wife "fell", they were not flesh and blood, they were flesh and bone[Gen 2:24]. this is symbolic of when Jesus rose from the dead, He was also flesh and bone, not flesh and blood. How do I know this? If Jesus had so much as one drop of blood left in him, then the crucifixtion wouldn't have been effective , Why? He wouldn't have "SHEDDED ALL OF HIS BLOOD". So after the fall, Adam and his wife was given blood, Why? because Life is in the blood{gen 9:4]

How does all of this play into intercessory prayer and The office of the mediator? 1st Timothy
2:5 says that there is one mediator between God and man, and[ watch the wording] that is the man Christ Jesus. If you take off" Christ Jesus", you begin to get a picture of what Paul was saying. He was saying that the mediator between God and man, is a man. What does that mean? It means that in order to be a mediator, you've got to be flesh and blood. The man Christ Jesus: there are some places in scripture that calls Him "Jesus Christ", and there are other places that calls him" Christ Jesus". what does this mean? It means that Christ was not his last name, it was a mantle[anointing] put on Jesus, so that He could What no other man could do. Christ did not hang on the cross, Jesus did. The Christ mantle lived on. Lets put it together; Jesus Christ: the mantle followed Jesus. Christ Jesus; Jesus followed the mantle
So now 1 Tim 2:5 reads like this there is one mediator between God and man, Someone who has flesh and blood, Christ Jesus. That mantle that was on him is now on us. We are mediators today on this earth.

Revelation 1:6 says that we are "Kings and Preists". What was the job of the priests in the old testement? they were to be the mediators between God and man. The Children of Israel couldn't hear from God, without the priests. You are to stand in the gap for all of humanity[ezekiel 22:30] In Job 9:33 says that there was no daysman between us that he might lay his hand on us both. That word"daysman" is translated[umpire] like at a baseball game. he needed somone to bring God and man back together. This is the job of a mediator, to bring God and man back together. When you are living the life of a Christian and being a witness, you are in fact introducing someone to Jesus Christ[God]. What an awesome responsibility.

Interseccory prayer[romans 8:26-27] The Spirit HIMSELF maketh intercession for "US". The spirit doesn't make intercession for "THEM". Intercession is reserved for the church, not the world. There is no such thing as a ministry of intercession, there is only a ministry of reconciliation[2nd Cor 5:18]. It is impossible for anyone to be an intercessor without being filled with the Holy Ghost, why? It is the Holy Ghost praying through your spirit, the perfect will of God, and He[ the Holy Ghost ] knows how to pray and get it right the first time, not need to repeat that prayer. The Holy Ghost is the intercessor, not you. You are flesh and blood, and that is needed to work the intercession out. The Holy Ghost cannot intercede in the earth without a body to work through. This is why it is so important to be ready to pray when He ask you to, because someones life might hang in the balance, and he is working through you, in order to keep that person alive.

When I am in prayer, I ask the Lord" Is there someone I need to intercede for"? If He tells me "yes", then He will tell me who, and will flash that persons face in my spirit, like a movie projector. Next, I say" Holy Spirit", pray the perfect will of God concerning[ john Q public].
That is all you have to do. Most people only pray about themselves and their needs. They are disqualified from being used this way because the prayer of intercession and the office of the mediator, will ALWAYS be about someone else.

I cannot stress this enough; Jesus will tell you everything you need to pray for, so your mind won't have to worry about what you should be praying. take time to listen to Him before you
ramble off in an unprofitable prayer. I look forward to hearing from you

Prayer

hello out there. I hope all of you are doing well today. This evening we will be discussing prayer. There are some things I want to point out about prayer, that when you apply what is being taught, you WILL have a successful prayer life, and you won't have to wait several years to see results. So let's get started.

As gasoline is needed for a car to move, prayer needs faith, in order to do the same. Romans 10:17 tells us that "Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God"; If you will notice
that if my prayer is going to reach God, it takes faith, and I must hear something, or shall I say "SOMEONE". Many Christians miss it when it comes to this principle. To have effective prayer,
you must hear from Jesus. In Mat 6:9, Jesus tells the people what to pray; they don't pray what they think they should pray, they are only supposed to pray what Jesus tells them to pray. We
get caught up in our prayers and how we should form them, how loud we will get,what we will say, how long we are going to pray etc. This is the #1 reason why prayers go unanswered, it is because we haven't waited to hear what Jesus wants us to pray.

When I pray, I go to my prayer room, which is in my garage. I have a chair there, and I sit down and wait for The Lord to speak what wants me to pray. Before all of that, I ask Him "what song do you want me to sing for you"? He tells me the song, and I sing it to Him. it doesn't take long before the Holy Ghost quickens my mortal,tired,sleepy body. The next think I know, I'm singing to Him in tongues. What is happening, while all of this is going on? My flesh is decreasing, and my spirit is increasing. A prayer that is prayed in the flesh or out of your intellect, common sense, or anything other that the Holy Ghost prompting you, will ALWAYS
be a prayer that is against the will of God. Once I'm there in the spirit, I wait for Him to say
what I should pray. He might tell me" pray for the churches of NC", He might say" pray for the missionaries in tibet", He might say "pray for your pastor, leadership" etc. The point is HE will tell you what to pray. If you don't have the Holy Ghost, you may not understand this next part.
When I get my prayer instructions from Him, Then I say " Holy Spirit, pray the perfect will of God concerning that issue. The Holy Ghost then takes over my mouth and prays on that issue.
I know if the Holy Ghost prays about it, there will be no mistakes, and He won't have to pray about it again. I don't know what "HE" is saying, but I know that it is the right prayer. Romans Chapter 8 talks about this issue[ search it out]. The Holy Ghost is the spirit of truth, not the spirit of " I guess this is right, maybe, I think so".[john 14:17]
I was up praying early one morning, and I was praying in the spirit[tongues]. Once I was done, I got up and continued on with my day. It just so happens that it was the day of "THE NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER", in Winston-Salem. The event was held downtown at the millinium center. The service started at 1pm, I was the musician for the event. I had to take my piano,stand,chords and amplifier. All the parking spaces around the center was full, except
the one that I needed to unload at. That parking space was in the perfect place for me, because the door to where I was going in, was right behind it, and it made it easy to unload my equipment. I asked myself" How did that happen"? The Lord said "you prayed for it"! I said
"when"? He said" this morning". You see, I wasn't praying about it in english, I was praying about it in tongues, and I didn't even know it. I would that every person who calls themselves "saved", be filled with the Holy Ghost!

I john 5:14 says" if we ask anything according to His will, He heareth us. How do you know if you are praying his will? Did He tell you what to pray? Are you going to guess at it? A
prayer that is prayed in accordance to His will, will always come up to His ears. According to
Isaiah 1:15, a prayer that is prayed against His will, doesn't come up to His ears, it comes up before His eyes, and He puts His hands over his eyes, so He doesn't see that prayer. God
is playing "peek-a-boo" with some of your prayers.

In Mat 6:30-33, takes about "seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you". There are some things He told you not to pray for. Don't pray for food,clothing,housing,neccesities etc. Many christians pray about these anyway, after He told us "NOT " to. Now we need to know what is the kingdom of God[vision] is. Search the gospel of Mark, and you'll see many times where he says" The kingdom of God is like". Matthew talks more about the Kingdom of Heaven [provision]. I can talk about this issue in a later blog about the kingdom, I would rather you study it out. "And His righteousness"; it is not your righteousness, it is His. study about this subject too.

In the next blog , we will study Pauls' prayer when he prayed about the "thorn" in his flesh[2nd cor 12:7] and we will deal with Daniels prayers in {Daniel 10] take care for now.

Faith Part 3

Hello all. Today we are still talking about faith. After you get saved and filled with the Holy Ghost, this is probably the greatest subject you can study, next to righteousness. We will be taking our text from Romans 10:17; so then faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God. When you are walking by faith, faith has to have a goal[hope]. There must be a goal for your faith. What has God spoken to you recently concerning your faith? Let's look at this scripture ; Faith comes by what you hear and not by what you heard. This "hearing"must be continual, not occasional.

Faith does not come from reading the bible, it comes from hearing the Word of God. Faith doesn't come by memorizing scripture, it comes from hearing the word of God. In Mat 4, the devil is quoting scripture to Jesus, and yet nothing happened, this is because the devil is using intellect, and that's it. Jesus was the Word made flesh[john 1:14]. You really can't speak the Word, unless you know the Word. Jesus was the Word, speaking the Word. In this passage of scripture[mat 4] everytime Jesus spoke to the devil, he released some of himself into that arena. The reason why the devil[satan,serpent] left him, was because the His Word of God overrides the devils' intellect. In this confrontation with the devil, Jesus didn't see the devil, he heard him. The devil took Jesus to these places[pinnacle of the temple, top of the mountain, etc] in His mind. First of all, Jesus is not going to follow satan anywhere. How is faith working in this passage of scripture? As Jesus was speaking to the devil, Jesus is hearing himself speak , which is strengthening His faith. You can even say that He "is hearing" the Word of God

What was the devil trying to do? He was trying to plant a vision in Jesus mind. This is what satan said" I'll let you rule the world, all you have to do is bow to my system". The opposite of faith, is fear and worry. How is satan going to plant fear in Jesus heart? Satan
is saying that it is impossible to rule this world without satans help. Satan[eph 2:2] was the god of this world[2cor4:4], and the power was on the side of the oppressors[ecc 4:1]. Jesus is coming into this world, not to take sides, but to take over.

command these stones to be made bread] In other words, if you are God, then change the purpose of these two things. Why would satan say this? Satan was trying to appeal to the part of Jesus that dealt with sight, not faith. Hunger is the emotional part of man[ taste,touch,hearing,smell,sight]. All of these are in the realm of sight, and not faith. If satan can get people to be concerned about how and what they will eat, he can actually drag them off of faith, and get them onto sight. Many christians are in this place right now, in the middle of what is going on in this country. Jesus came back with the Word[faith] man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceedeth[ not proceeded] out of the mouth of God. Why did Jesus use this scriputre, which is also found in[Deut 8:3], God made everything, including food;
so why not go to the source of it all and get your need met. Satan has no revelation, if he understood scripture, he should have known that Jesus was both rock and bread. When we are in fellowship with Jesus we are eating the bread that came from a rock. I will take something that is "HARD" to understand, and make it easy to digest. Jesus knew what He was saying

The devil taketh him up to the pinnacle of the temple] [IN HIS MIND] if you are the son of God, cast yourself down. let's deal with what Satan just said; If I can get Jesus him to make a public spactacle of himself, i've got him. If I can get Jesus to be the center of attention, and bring the focus on himself, then i've got him. the root of every showoff in the body of Christ, is rooted in this passage of scripture. Many people today are doing just that; fight for position in the church etc. making themselves out to be something they are not. PRIDE. If anyone would go into the temple, they would see Jesus standing at the top of it. This was satan's idea. It's interesting that many traditional church buildings have steeples on them, and they are located at the pinnacle of the temple. How is all of this , tied to faith? People in the body of Christ, who resist pride, are walking by faith. It takes action to"RESIST" pride. Finally, Satan is thinking" if I can get him to commit suicide", i've got him. The devil starts quoting scripture[psalms 91:11-12]. Although it is in the bible, it is not word. The only one qualified to speak the Word, is the Word. If you have been filled with the Holy Ghost, You have been given the seed of the Word of God .

[Mat 4:7] Jesus said, don't tempt the Lord Thy God. Jesus was admitting himself that He was satans ' God. This is not just in reference to Jesus, this also applies to us. We are heirs to God and joint heirs with Christ[ the mantle][romans 8:17] This means that instead of us confessing that the devil is after us, or anything like that, we are acutally Satans' god. He must do what we say, and it is not open to his freewill, he must obey us. The key word in this scripture is "tempt". If I can get Jesus out of the God-classinto the man-class, i've got him. Temptation is designed to try to get you off of the God side of you, and empower the flesh side of you that deals with [taste, touch,hearing,smell,sight. ]. If you can resist temptation you will remain in the GOD-CLASS. Temptation doesn't come from God, but he allows it. He uses the apostle,prophet,evangelist,pastor,teacher to teach you[eph 4:11] the word " temptation "is not in eph 4:11.

Mat 4:8 and the devil taketh him up to a high mountain and show him all the kingdoms of the word and the glory of them: There is one little word and the beginning of this scripture, it is the word" Again". In the verse before that, the devil taketh him"UP". Anytime the devil taketh you up, it is to infuse you with pride. You can't operate in faith and pride at the same time!
Remember that all of this is taking place in Jesus mind. What was the devil trying to do here? He is still reminding Jesus that satan is still in charge of this world, and that all governing bodies cities, nations etc, are a result of his handiwork. If I can get Jesus to partner with him to govern these nations, i've got him. To understand this passage of scripture, you must look into the old testament in Psalms 75:6, that promotion comes from the Lord, and Proverbs 21:1, that the heart of the kings is in the hand of the Lord; so the reason why these kingdoms exist, is because God set them up, satan just perverts what's been set up. Why would the devil even make mention to this; as if the devil didn't know already? Let's bring you into this picture, for better understanding. This earth belongs to the Sons' of God. It is an inheritance. Why would we be fighting to gain control of what we already own? You can't own an nation by sight, you must take possession by faith. All demonic kingdoms are subject to me, as I subject myself to the will of God. Although I've never been to Iran, if I pray in the Holy Ghost, for Iran, The Holy Ghost will intercede for that Nation, in tongues. You don't know what you are praying for, but the Holy Ghost will pray the perfect will of God concerning Iran, and He will not miss . You take ownership of all nations, by praying for them, as you are led to pray for them. Faith works quite well when you pray in the spirit about things you don't even know about, so you don't have to worry about getting them wrong. You also must go to Daniel 2:31-45 and find out about nebuchadnezzars' dream. The Kingdom of God, represented by a stone, crushed all other kingdoms and grind them[the image] into powder[chaff]. We are come to take over. i don't have to ask for your permission to drive my car, because I already own it. I drive it when I get ready.


Lastly: I will give you all of these kingdoms, if you will fall down and worship me[mat 4:9] This falling down, in the old testament was in reference a physical bowing down of ones body. In Daniel 3, once the image that nebuchadnezzer built was finished, everyone had to bow to it, as an act of obedience. In the new testament, this is not a physical action. This is a bowing down of ones' will to another. You can replace the word" worship" with "obedience" . In satans' kingdom, bowing comes before worship. In the kingdom of God, Bowing is worship, and thus cannot be separated. It takes faith, to bow[submit] to the word of God. By not submitting to the word, you automatically submit to satans' kingdom, by default.. Jesus comes back with this word" Get behind me satan: Why didn't Jesus banish satan back to hell right then and there? Because satan was being used to eventually bring Jesus face to face with the cross. You see, Jesus is telling satan what to do, in satans' mind. . The last part of this is that Jesus said" You shall only worship and serve the Lord your God. Worship and servant hood is synomonous and can't be separated, it must be done in faith.

2nd closing] mat 4:11] the devil leaves Jesus and then the angels came to minister to him. As a result of Jesus operating by faith, it caused satan to leave him. The most powerful weapon you have against satans attacks is the Word of God, mixed with faith. I've heard christians screaming at the devil with such force, that they almost lose their voice. You have to be careful with this, because if you use to much of your body[whether it's screaming, or shaking, or yelling at the devil], you are now trying to couple your faith with emotions, and that will backfire on you. When I rebuke, or cast out a devil, I don't have to yell. My faith tells me that once I release the Word out of my mouth, it is as as good as done. I could sing it if I wanted to ,and it will still manifest. No physcal sweat or labor invloved.

The angels came after satan leaves: In Psalms 103:20, the angels hearken to the voice of His word, so everytime Jesus released the Word, angels showed up; but they didn't come and minister until Jesus stopped talking. What did the angels minister? whatever is needed to strengthen Jesus back up. When you are in combat with the forces of darkness, you don't need angels to help you fight. The word that is spoken ,with summons them, but they are not coming to help you fight, they are coming to minister to you so you can keep fighting. Close your mouth and listen, they are the ones who bring the word to you, so you can speak the word and get victory. They will not talk over you, or talk louder than that radio you've got blastin all the time. They will wait until you r quiet. The weapon of the Word mixed with faith is all you need.

3rd closing: The reason why they hearken to the voice of His word is because when you speak the word, the angels can't tell the difference between you and God, because you are saying what God says. The angels more concerned about what God sounds like verses what he looks like. You may be 250 Lbs and 3 ft 5 inches tall, or you may be 7 ft 3 inches and 120 Lbs, It makes no diference.

The angels are coming for one thing, "the spoken Word". In psalms 147:4, He calls all the stars by name[stars are angels]. Their names are synomonous with the word that you speak. Every scripture that God has spoken,has an angel assigned to it, that when a person speak that scripture, in faith according to what God has said concerning that scripture, then is goes from being scripture, in being Word. Angels are then activated to go to work for you, to bring that Word to pass. The Key is this; angels are only activated by a rhema[right now] word. So if you think you can activate angels by just quoting scripture, your wrong , or the angels would have come to minister to satan! I look forward to your response

Hebrews 11,Gen 4:2-17

Hello all. We are going to talk about faith. Faith is the most important subject you can study in the bible, after you get saved and filled with the Holy Ghost. We will begin with Hebrews 11:4 talks about Abel offering a more excellent sacrifice than Cain. The scriptures didn't say that Cains' offering wasn't excellent, Abels was just "more excellent". Abel did this"BY FAITH". So Abal understood faith. When you understand faith, the bible call it "through faith.
"
Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. Abel heard the word which produced faith in his life. It was not enough for him to have "HEARD" the word, he had to keep hearing the Word. What does this mean? Abel took what God had spoken to him and began to confess it daily, so that the word will get into his heart[PSALM 19:14], and then out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks[mat 12:34]. Why is this important to Abel? If he is going to bring an offering to the Lord, God has to tell him what to bring. This means that you don't give in the offering what you want to give, because He won't accept it. You must listen to the Holy Spirit to tell you what to sow[give]. Why does The Lord Jesus love a cheerful giver? Becasue they gave what He told them, and as a result "God answers a man by the joy that's in his heart"[Ecc 5:20]

Let's bring Cain into this; If you look at Gen 4:5, it said that Cains' countenance fell. Simply put, he was angry and sad at the same time. There is no joy in what he is experiencing. God answers a man by the joy in his heart. So if you put these thoughts together, you will see that God didn't answer Cain, so Cain brought an offering of what he thought God might like. Cain is bringing to God ,an offering based on what he can naturally see and feel, this is not faith, this is sight. Cain is bringing reasoning[common sense, head knowledge] into play here, to determine what he will give. How many christians reason out what they will give, verses waiting on the Lord to instruct them what to give. Your offering should really be prepared at home. It is a simple act of convenience. Why wait to get to church and then scramble for the pen, checkbook, cash, and then you have to put it in the envelope, seal it, write your name and amount on it, then write what the seeds' intentions are on the back. Just do it at home!

Faith comes be hearing and hearing by the word of God. What are you hearing as you are travelling to church? Music? Are you talking about where you will eat after church? or maybe something else, that has nothing to do with the service at hand! Some of these things are trick of the enemy, so your mind will be so consumed with what you were talking about, that when it is time to give, you won't be able to hear from Jesus. Cut off all distractions from you and be quiet.
You are preparing yourself to be an offering, not only during the week, but especially on the way to the church building. Faith requires that an offering be prepared b4 giving it. When I am home, I ask the Lord how much should my wife and I give in the offering, He tells me plain and simple, then we write the check and thats it. No guess work involved there. Let's return to the story.

I've heard several things about why Cain sacrifice wasn't accepted, it was because it wasn't a blood sacrifice. I really think it is much simpler than that. I believe that Cains' sacrifice wasn't accepted, because he didn't bring it in faith, he brought it by sight. Why did this story transpire? and why wasn't Adam, Cain, seth or Eve listed in Hebrews 11?

When Adam was in the garden of Eden{ heavens Atmosphere} He was totally walking by faith.
The scriptures never recorded that He "SAW" God. He only "HEARD" God. Before the fall, Adam knew things, there was no trial and error in his life, all of his provisons was taken care of,
even his wife was brought to him, to toil or labor in his life. All of this was obtained "THROUGH FAITH". When Adam named the animals, he didn't guess what the names were. He simply " Heard" the WordGod][John 1:1] tell him what to name them. All of this is called "WORK". Adam did not work with his hands until after the fall, before the fall, he used his "faith" to work for him, so our labor should really be "in the Word"! When He was kicked out of the garden, He had to walk by sight. As a result of him no longer being in fellowship with God, it would be impossible for him to have faith, cause he no longer "heard" the Word. Adam is reduced to sowing seed and reaping "thorns". The reason why he sowed seed and got thorns is not just because God said it, it was because he thought he was smarter than God; maybe i'll reap some fruit this time, or maybe i'll reap some of this and some of that, he was sowing by sight, cause he no longer has faith, cause he no longer heard the Word! Everything he is doing now is a result of trial and error, not faith. Faith will take you past trial and error, and you'll get it right the first time!

In Gen 3:15 God told the serpent that " the seed of the woman will bruise his head" So here comes Cain. So Adam and eve is thinking" maybe this is the seed that will bruised the serpents head". Maybe Cain will be the one to get us back into the garden again. Cain talked to God
and so did Abel. If they were talking to God, then they were still in the garden, because God talked back and they "heard Him". They were given an opportunity to experience what Adam can no longer experience, the presence of Jesus[God]. Cain was a blessed man, because he brought to God " THE FRUIT OF THE GROUND", wait!!!! I thought the ground was cursed!
There was nothing in the garden that was cursed, only outside of that atmoshpere, did the curse exist. Here is what baffles me. If they were in the garden, How could Cain Kill Abel?
We'll, how could lucifer have pride in his heart , in heaven, before there was ever a devil?
How could the serpent "deceive" Eve, in the garden? How could satan enter the presence of the Lord, in Job Chapter 1 and have a conversation with Him? All these things took place, in the presence of the Lord, yet there were no curses in His presence. Cain Killed Abel, thinking" I will appease my anger, if I can just get Abel" OUT OF MY SIGHT", "SIGHT"SIGHT"!. What Cain failed to realize is, as a result of Abel bringing to God an accepted offering, God testified of his gifts[Hebrew 11:4] What gifts? Abels offering, given by faith. Even in Abels' death, his faith was still working, or his blood couldn't have "CRIED"! What was Abels' blood crying out for? Justice. Faith has to have hope with it, faith must have a goal or it won't work. So with Abels faith, even though he was dead, Abel had hope that justice would be served. Once faith has met the goal, then it stops until you get another goal.

One last thing: The reason why God was so angry at what Adam did, is because Adam was given the commandment to take the garden of Eden all over the earth. Why is this important? Because the only way to Hear God was in heavens atmoshperethe garden of Eden]. the opportunity to get The voice of the Lord all over the earth was stopped, ans as a result, everyone from Adam to Noah, except for Abel and Enoch didn't "HEAR THE WORD" and as a result, there was no faith ignited. So everybody except Abel and Enoch, "walked by sight".

This is my 2nd closing: When Cain was kicked out of the presence of the Lord in Gen 4:12-16, it says that he dwelt in the land of Nod on the east of "EDEN". This means that he was in the garden of Eden", before he was kicked out. Any place outside of The Garden of Eden is called "NOD"[wandering]. Cain said he would be a fugitive and a vegabond in the earth, he didn't know that, he just guessed that! Faith takes the guesswork out of life. I look forward to your response.

Faith Part 2

Hello all. I hope you are doing well today. Let's discuss this thing called faith.Faith is a substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. The focus of your faith should be on the things that are spiritual[the unseen]. The realm of the seen is just temporary, yet most christians focus on the seen realm. Faith is now, it is not tomorrow, it is not yesterday,
it is now. This is a benefit for us because now we are not limited to time. As an eternal being, my thinking must be in the eternal realm, when I am facing a problem. I'm not going to ask God to move the mountain for me{mat 21:21]. I am the one who has the authority to speak to the mountain and it be removed. There are things that you are praying to God to fix for you, when really all you need to do is speak to it yourself, and use your faith to change the circumstance.

Faith only comes by the Word of God. Many preachers are not preaching the word, they are preaching their denomination or their church bylaws, and faith is not coming out of that. Many christians have little faith because the pastors have little faith. You can tell it in their speech.
God is not the author of sickness, yet many christians believe that Jesus makes a person sick in order to teach them a lesson. He uses the apostle,prophet,evangelist,pastor and teacher. He doesn't need them and sickness and poverty and disease[dis-ease] to teach you anything. We must rightly divide the word of truth from a word that lies. If we are sons of God, then we must function like God. This means I can speak to a situation that is thousands of miles away, and from that distance, my word mixed with faith will change that issue.

I am not limited to anything, If God Is unlimited, so am I. In matthew 14:2 Jesus said that in my fathers house are many mansions, but the scripture doesn't tell how many is "many"? This is why, when He made you his house[1cor3:9] He put no limit inside you ,cause He can't live in a house that has walls.

Let's get into scripture. Hewbrews 11:2 says " for by it [faith] the "ELDERS" obtain a good report. Now this scripture doesn't say "babes", it says" elders". Faith, just like a man, has to grow up and be developed. It is similar to a baby being born. Babies are handed everything they need to survive: watch the illustration
1. crib: twin, double, queen, king; the more you grow, the more room u need to rest

2. milk: small bites, solid food; the more you grow, the more you can eat

3.diapers: pull ups: underwear : the more you grow, the more you have the ability to clean up yourself
4. clothes: the more you grow, the larger the covering must be, so that you are not exposed to the elements
So somewhere in your faith, you should graduate into being an elders. woman included

Lets keep going:hewbrews 11:3,11,28 says through faith, however Hebrews 11:4,5,7,8,9,17,21,22,23,27,29,30,31, says by faith.

The key word is in verse 3; Through faith we "understand". In Mat 13:11-17 Jesus said that the reason he spoke to the people in parables is so thatif they should believe in their hearts and be converted and He would heal them. Mis understanding is a sickness and therefore must be healed. You can't live by faith, unless you understand through faith. By faith has to do with actions as a result of understanding. This is where most people miss it; if they don't understand faith, they cannot please God, why? Understanding is in their head, but not in the heart. If Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God, it means that those that don't understand faith, have no clue what the word is saying. They can read scripture, but can't understand WORD.

Quoting scripture is head knowledge, it is not word until it gets into your heart. The Word must be planted in your heart according to the situation at hand. This means that you do not choose the word for your deliverance. The Holy spirit directs you to the seed[word] and then you speak what HE says, That Word enters your heart. You speak and meditate on the word that was given to you. The Word grows in your heart and soon comes into manifestation. As long as you pick the scripture, it remains scripture, and there is no faith in it. I want to encourage
all you that read these blogs to study the word for yourself and grab hold to faith. In the body of Christ, the serpent[devil][satan] is not your biggest enemy, your biggest enemy is unbelief. I look forward to your response!

Faith Hebrews 11

Hello all, I hope you are doing well today. Faith. What is it? How do we develop it in our lives? Hebrews 11:1; Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Faith is always "NOW". Faith overrides time. In Gen 5:21 It talks about Enoch was taken by God, for God took him. If you couple this scripture with Hebrews 11:5, you'll see that Enoch walked by faith. In Genesis 5:23-24 it tells you that Enoch was 365 years old, and God took him. If you'll notice that Enoch didn't die. His faith caused him to leap over time and thus defying death altogether. You mean to tell me that out of all the generations from Adam to Noah, Enoch was the only one walking by faith?

Sight is the enemy of faith. It is impossible to walk by faith and by sight at the same time[2nd Cor 5:7. When we talk about sight, this is in reference to your 5 senses[taste touch hearing smell sight] Faith cannot be felt, it has to be perceived. Roman 10:17 says that faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. Faith is not in your head, faith is in your heart. Faith doesn't come by quoting scripture; scripture doesn't become word, until it gets in your heart.
Most Christians never make it that far. Faith comes by hearing; faith doesn't come by what you heard, it comes by what you hear. If you heard it , it won't do you any good, you must " HEAR" it. This means that you must repeat what you have heard. When you repeat it, then you hear it.
When do you hear it? You hear it Now!

Faith works the best when you are in your assignment. Luke 7:2 talks about a centurion soldier
who had a servant who was sick. Read all of the story, and right at the end of it, Jesus said this" I have not seen so great faith, no not in Isreal"! You know why the soldier had great faith? Because he operated it inside of his assignment. many Christians try to work a job and not an assignment, and as a result, their faith is not at the level that it should be. At my assignment,
I interview clients who have fallen upon hard times. I fill out paperwork to qualify them to get food and clothing. As a result of operating in my assignment, I can work my faith to offer ecouragement and edification. Let me explain; I was interviewing a man and his wife, he had just lost his job, and was worried about the future. As I sit there and we go through the interview process, The Lord starts talking to me about this man. He tells me that this man is good with woodworking. So I said" Your gift is working with wood". His eyes got big a silver dollars and he asked me " How did you know that"? I told him that the Holy spirit told me.
Then The Lord told me that the man was dealing with deep depression. I talked to him about that too. He was astonished that I was telling him that. If he didn't belive in God then, he certainly does now. Faith will allow you to absolutely, positively, abundantly do the impossible. I wish I had time to tell you about all the things God has done in peoples lives since i've been there. I am grateful that He uses me to manifest His glory in that place.

In 2cor 4:18 ] While we look not on the things that are seen, but the things that are not seen.
Faith requires that your focus is on the unseen. As long as you are focused on what you can see, you are not in faith. How do we get your faith up and running, so you can get a manifestation of what you are needing or wanting in this life?

Lets move on to Hebrews 11:3 . there are 2 things I want you to observe.
1. Through faith: I can compare this to someone wearing a pair of glasses. everything that is not viewed through these glasses is blurry, not clear, not completely visible, or a distorted image.
All things must be viewed "through faith" in order for you to see the truth.
2. By faith: the just shall live by faith ; faith is like having a close friend or companion with you through everything you go through. The Holy Ghost will lead, guide and provide comfort for you, but without faith, you can't even hear Him.


Lets deal with a word shall we? the word is "FRAME"Heb 11:3]. Everything that enters this earth realm, must enter by means of a frame. Adams wife was taken from his rib. in other words, God pulled her out of adams' "FRAME". Mans hands frame nothing, Words do. Anything seen exist because of a frame. In Gen 1, the earth had no form and was void. There was an earth but it had no "FRAME". In the natural realm, we take a picture and put it in a frame, why? So we can see it when we get ready. Pictures are nothing more than images or derived from someones imagination. Think about this, God made man in His own "IMAGE" or " I'M AGE", man was birthed out of Gods imagination. He took man and put him in a frame called Adam. Everything in the earth that is framed was also named. When A building is demolished, the materials you see on the ground are in the seen realm, but the plans and frame will always be in the mind of the architect. What you see is not frame, The spirit provides the frame, you provide the image.

When You are working your faith, you need a "FRAME OF REFERENCE". Let me explain; A few years ago, I was believing God for a toyota Avalon. To this day It is still my favorite car. Once I start on the journey towards obatining that car, Then it is the Holy Ghost job to manifest the "frame". My wife and I would be driving down the road and we would see toyota avalons everywhere. I would go walking through the neigborhood and guess what I would see? My wife and I would be at the grocery store and guess what was parked on either side of the car and behinds us? Yes you guessed it! The Holy ghost provided the frame so I could hang the picture in my eyes, ears and heart. We had looked for the avalons online ,in newspapers. We found some, but there was no "yes" in my spirit. A few days later, I was on the job and I had to go to Roanoke VA for a delivery. As I entered into the city, there was a tan 2002 toyota avalon parked a place of business. The Lord said" Get out and walk around it". I know that who ever reads this blog might think i'm crazy for saying that, but faith will never make sense to your natural mind, your intellect can't take you into the realm called faith. I walked around it and that was all. I drove on. The next week I'm back in Roanoke VA, and He tells me to stop and walk around it again, so it did. Next, The Lord said" call the # and ask them to drop the price by 1000.00. They did, and my wife and I took that car home the following saturday. It makes no difference where your "stuff" is. It can be in another state, but if it has your name on it, God will see to it that it gets into your hands. Think about this: God had someone drive their avalon around town at the same time I was looking for one, so I could get a picture and He could provide the frame. Jesus knew I wanted an avalon before I was born, so He set up the conditions wherby I could obtain it.

What r u doing with your faith? The wonderful thing about a map, is that you can plot a course to where you are going, as longs as you know where you are. A GPS doesn't need to know where you are, in order to plot a course to where you are going. Thats fine, but its programming people not to be concerened about where they are, so when they use their faith, it doesn't work. You must find out where you are b4 you plot a course with your faith. I welcome your response

Heaven on Earth, The Wilderness

I hope all of you are doing well today. It's time for another installment of Heaven on Earth. We have come some distance with this teaching. We found out that The garden of Eden was Heavens atmosphere and it was stationary in the beginning but now it is mobile within us. We also found out that all your questions can be answered in that atmosphere. We came to know the fact that in order to have this atmosphere in your life on a daily basis, you must have order.
We Also found out that North Carolina is a state, and Chaos is a state. The capitol city of Chaos is
disorder. Now I will show you the wilderness, and why we have been sent[apostolic] to make every place that is uninhabitable, a place of habitation. So let's begin

In Isa 14:16-17 takes about the devil[prince of tyre] made the world a wilderness, and shaking kingdoms. So think about this; When Lucifer was cast out of heaven, and fell to the earth, he caused something here to get out of order. So his falling caused this to happen, not his influence.
He shook kingdoms; he fell so hard that whatever was on this earth before Adam got here, shook to pieces.

My wife brought this up:

[ when Jesus said " I beheld satan as lightning fall from heaven, it means all God had to do is just look at satan and he fell, He didn't have to carry on a long conversation, just look at him and down he went![luke 10:18]

Our assignment as Sons of God, is to return this earth to former fulness. Prov 8:31 talks about wisdom rejoices in the habitable parts of His earth. all you have to do is flip this scripture and you'll see that wisdom doesn't rejoice in places that are uninhabitable. God intended for every place on earth to be inhabited[planets included]

The root word of Wilderness is "WILD". In prov 29:18 it says that people without a vision will perish. The word "perish" doesn't mean "die", it means to cast off restraint, to cast off order, to run "WILD". One of the hallmark signitures of the Wilderness is lack of vision. You are supposed to go" through" the wilderness, not" To" it. When Cain was kicked out, the scripture said "He was banished to the land of Nod[wandering, gen 4:16]. Where was cain b4 he was banished? Eden. He was not looking for a wife, while he was out there, he just ran into her, and she ran into him, by mistake. This is another example of the wilderness; neither one of them had a vision, they are just living day by day, is that you? Are you hoping that you will run into a blessing? The blessing is supposed to overtake you, and not you run into it.

In Mat 4:4 Jesus is lead by the spirit into the wilderness. If you'll notice that after the temptations ended, that the devil leaveth him. The devil made his home in the wilderness,
and Jesus came into the devils' territory and kicked him out of there. I assure you that that wilderness looked like a garden when Jesus came out of there.

In Isa 40:3, it makes reference to preparing the highway of the Lord. The first part of that verse says that there was a voice crying in the "wilderness". The voice didn't cry from the city, because it was already inhabited with people[ i'll come back to that] The highway for the Lord will not be in places at is already builded up, I will always be in places that have "nothing". Look at what He is saying
1.He will bring the mountains low
2. He will lift up the valleys
3. He will make the crooked, straight
4. He will make rough places smooth

Lets put it together. He will bring the mountain down, but lift the valley up, What is He doing? he is re introducing Equality,justice into that area. every Govenment, business and organization that is operating in wickedness will soon be crushed.

3. The crooked made straight: He is removing the spirit of wander, out of peoples lives. No more will they be living by trial and error or mistakes, or guess work.

4. the smooth made straight: He will make it easier to you and Him to walk together. It is called the "highway", because His "ways" are above our "ways"[isa 55:8] His way is "HIGH". let's keep going; this scripture also refers to John the Baptist as well. He was the for runner for Jesus. We
are the forunners of His 2nd coming as well. He wants to return to a garden, not a wilderness.

The children of Israel are in Egypt as slaves[Exodus 1]. They cry out to the Lord, and He sends Moses to deliver them. They were in the city "crying". The way of the Lord starts with a "CRY". They were in an inhabited city, and yet they were "crying". Why are they crying? No Justice, no equality. You see The way of the Lord is not prepared with church buildings and long drawn out programs, the way of the Lord is prepared with Justice. This will return the wilderness into a garden again.

The children of Israel are in the wilderness, on the way to the promise land. They are to work 6
days and rest 1[exodus 16]. Their work was with the land. What were they doing with the land? they were sowing seeds. You work the land for 6 years and let the land rest on the 7th[exodus 25:3] How are they going to cause seeds to grow in a place where there was no rain? If they planted seeds on thursday, and then God told them to move on friday, how will they see the manifestation of what they sowed? It was intended that every place that they stopped, they sow seed, so if anybody should want to come to the promise land later, all the had to do is find the highway with all the seed sown, gardens plants,vegetation etc
So, someone paved the way for some else to follow. If you want you ministry or business to grow financially, sow seed in other causes, ministry or businesses. Leave a legacy of seed sown.

The sad part is this; the children of Israel obeyed some of What God said, but not all of it. It was a wilderness when they got there and a wilderness, when they died there. No eveidence that they were there at all, no influence on the society that they encountered, no community outreach, NOTHING. Exodus 5:11 says not to take the name of the Lord in vain. it is not referring to curse words, it is referring to Him sending you into an environment and you didn't change it. The wilderness is alright to go through, just make sure you are being an influence while you are there. The Children of Israel are called "children" because they were "Childish"!

The next blog will be about a man named Job, I welcome your response

heaven on earth, Nebuchadnezzers image

Hello, out there. I hope all is well with you. In our last blog, we discussed God precepts for this planet. We found out the Jesus is coming to earth one more time, So if Jesus is still in heaven, it must mean that heaven is inside of us. His will is to bring heaven to earth. Many christians can't wait to get to heaven, But Jesus is trying to keep you out of heaven ,or He wouldn't have created something called "HEALING". [misunderstanding is a sickness, mat 13:13-15]. I talk about this subject, someone who doesn't understand this concept, might say," You mean to tell me we are going to take all the gold and build New jerusalem, so we can have heaven on earth?", nawwwwwww; it means that we are duplicating heavens atmosphere on earth so His will can be done on earth as it is in heaven. I was going to talk about the wilderness a little bit and contrast the difference between the two, But in prayer I was directed to go another way. Before I take you through the wilderness, I must deal with another attribute of heavens atmosphere, ORDER!.

In the beginning, God Said" Let there be light", and there was light. This light is knowledge. The earth had no form and was void. Earth did exist, but there was no "Frame" to it[hebrews 11:3]. This would be like me taking a glass of water and pouring it out on the floor. The water is still there, but it has no frame. So, anything that God has created and it is not framed out, or it has no order to it, is in the state of Chaos. North Carolina is a state, and Chaos is a state. Everything inside of the state of Chaos, has a government, and it is called "DISORDER".
There will be no manifestation of heavens atmosphere without order[1cor 14:40]. The flipside
of the Garden of Eden, is the wilderness[nod, Chaos]. There is no purgatory between The Garden of Eden and the wilderness. The only thing separating the two is order.

Someone reading this will ask " what does the nebuchadnezzers image have to do with the Heavens atmosphere? One word; Government. there are a few things I want to point out about this image
1. Head of Gold: Babylon
2.arms and chest of silver: medo persia
3. belly and thighs of brass: Greece
4.Legs of iron: Rome
5. feet part iron and part clay[toes included] divided kingdoms, 2 things that were never meant to come together.
these are the govenments of this present world. God told the head[nebuchadnezzer] that all the kingdoms of the earth was given to him[daniel 2:37-39] So here we see that the head has all the power. these kingdoms did not work together, they came one after another until you get to the feet. The part iron and clay tried to make 2 become 1 and it didn't work. So what happens when you smote anything at its' base? you knock down everything. If you have no feet, you can't walk. These governments are founded upon something that wasn't designed to move.

The kingdom of God was that stone that smote the image on the foot and broke it into pieces. Watch the next part: [dan 2:35] then the iron,clay,brass,silver and gold was smashed into pieces.
So if you you look carefully, when the image is described, it is from the head down, but whe it is destroyed, it is from the feet up! When New Jerusalem was described, it started outward then went inward, not up and down, it's a whole other way of looking at things!

The kingdom of God[heavens atmoshpere] is going to take over the whole earth. Every government will eventually bow to this kingdom. Is this kingdom, every question is answered.
there is no overtime or 2nd shift there, and it operates off of currencey called "FAITH". So the question becomes" how do I fit into this kingdom agenda of taking over the earth"? I'm glad you asked!

1. You are a king[woman included]. this is not just a cliche', it's the truth. When you enter into a workplace, invironment, etc, you go in there, not to take sides, but to take over. You are not going to be obnoctous, loud.overbearing,bullyish about your relationship to the King of kings. You will report to work on time, don't milk the clock, don't participate in office gossip, etc. As you do this, you get promoted[palsms 75:6] Let me just say that you can't get hired or fired without
Gods' permission. Even though the supervisors name is one the door, that makes no difference, you are ruling from the spiritual, not the natural, yet! God gave adam dominion over everything that moves, so if your supervisor gets out of his or her chair, guess what.......................

2. You are the healing hub for that invironment. Somebody on your job can come to you and tell you" my marriage is falling apart and I don't know what to do about it". Well, you go home and pray in the Holy Ghost about that, they come to you 3 weeks later and say" every since i've talked to you about my marriage, it has gotten better". Do you know what you are doing, You are bringing heaven to earth, becuase there is no divorce in heaven.......... amen!

3. You are the enforcer of integrity,honesty and justice. You set the standard by which others are to follow. Any corruption of any kind that exist, where you are, must bow to your authority.
Don't get up in their face and point fingers as to who is right and who is wrong. Go home and get into your prayer closet and speak to those demons[ you don't have to be physically there to cast out demons, because there is no distance in the spirit]. When you do this, you'll see an increase of employment, friendships and the company benefits from it, Heaven.

We have been given a task unlike any other. It's not to go to church, it's not just to get in prayer lines, or to sing another song, it's not just have another conference, it is to Bring heaven to Earth!
next time we will discuss what the wilderness really is!

Heaven on earth

Hello, I hope all is well with you. May this blog be informational as well as edifying. So lets begin. Jesus is coming back to earth one more time. The Holy Ghost is the spirit of Jesus Christ inside of man. So each time someone is filled with the Holy Ghost, it is not Jesus coming to earth, it is Jesus coming "INTO" earth. Jesus is God and He lives in heaven[ isa 66:1 ] So the only way To get a manifestation of Jesus here, is to bring heaven here.

The concept may seem foreign at first, so i'll explain. In Genesis, God made a garden called
" THE GARDEN OF EDEN". The"garden" is the city, and "Eden" is the state. The Garden of Eden was not on earth, it was an atmosphere. In the garden, Adam had all the provision he needed, and didn't have to work overtime or a 2nd job, to get it. In Genesis 2:10, there were 4 rivers that went out of the garden to "WATER THE GARDEN". After Adam arrived there, he through his obedience, cause the garden to grow. these four rivers can be traced today. Pison,Gihon,Hiddekel[tigris] euphrates. These rivers are seen, but the source is unseen, so notice that something invisible produced something visible.

The entire garden scenario, is a question and answer thing. How is God going to get water to the ground when He hadn't created rain yet? He is going to cause water to come up from the ground to water the face of the ground[Genesis 2:5] God knew that Adam needed a wife, Adam didn't realize that he was alone. How is God going to give him a wife when He hadn't created woman yet. Answer, I'll make a woman from the man. What I want you to see is that in this atmosphere, every question had an answer, no guesswork, no trial and error. [note: In gen 1, He is referred to as GOD", in gen 2, He is referred to as LORD GOD] I've got more to this but I want to show you how this applies today. When you are in a worship service and people are crying or have their face covered with tears, it is God bringing the water up out of the ground, to water the face of the ground! Worship coupled with obedience, is designed to bring the heavens to earth. You may not see it naturally, but it is there. Worship is a good time to ask The Lord a question, right in the middle of your praise. How do I pay off this bill, who am I suppose to marry, Where is my next assignment, which house is mine, which car is mine, how much do I need to sow into the ministry, what is the word to start my business etc. People are not getting the answers they need, because they are on earth, without bringing that atmosphere to where they are.

In Eph 2:6, we are seated with Him in heavenly PLACES. This can only happen when we bring heaven to earth. I can be walking down the road, talking to Jesus, and He talks back to me, or I can be in the shower, or driving my car. I can ask Him a question, and He'll answer me right there . I don't have to go to a church building in order to feel His presence or experience Heavens atmoshpere, where I am, heaven is there.

I can walk into a business and because im am there, that business will immediately get customers, as I arrived there, this has happened about 5 times, at my previous assignment.
You know what happened? I brought heaven into that business, and it prospered the business
When was the last time you visited Heaven? Now lets go a little deeper

When natural rain comes to the earth, it comes down, but when God sends a spiritual rain, it doesn't come down, it comes out [joel 2:28] You are now the embodiment of heaven[ Eccl 3:11]
[Icor 3:9] husbandry:garden. the only reason why Adam was able to name all the animals, is bacause he abided in Heavens Atmosphere, where the voice of the Lord is.

In revelations 21, New Jerusalem came out of Heaven, not down from it. The streets there is transparent gold, question; what r you walking on today? concrete. So this cursed earth world system doesn't want you to think heavenly, it wants you to think earthly. Walls of jasper, gates of pearls etc. this place is beautiful, now look at the city u live in? it doesn't look like heaven, it looks like hell. Jesus is waiting fo you to set the atmosphere, so He can work through you.
Every worship and praise leader is responsible for setting the atmosphere at your local assembly. If you or your worship leader doesn't have the Holy Ghost, they cannot set that atmosphere, they can only set the types and shadows of the atmosphere. I welcome your response!

Manifesting the sons of God part 4

Assignments.

Hello out there. I want to talk about the subject of assignments. In the military, once you have completed your basic training, you are then given an assignment. You are to operate in that assignment until you are promoted or assigned somewhere else. The major military armies of the world, got this thinking from God. It is the church that is now coming in line with this type of thinking. For many years we've come to a church building and haven't realized that we are assigned to be in certain ministries, and occupy there until God moves you.
Now some people leave a ministry because they are offended or some other reason. But David served a demon-possessed Saul and didn't leave the assignment he was given, even though his leader was acting up! How about you? Would you stay in a ministry even if the pastor was embezzling funds or sleeping around with the ladies of the church? Most christians today are still in basic training, not for 3 months, but for years on end. They havent learned the basic principles of the kingdom of God.

In the kingdom of God, you choose a job based where God assigns you. You do not take a job based on what it pays, that's the way the world does it. It makes no difference how much money you make, in the Kingdom we all can hav the same thing, yacht,homes, cars, money, property etc. this principle is based on your maturity. We all have access to whatever we want, but it is connected to your assignment. Many people in the body of Christ continuously ask Jesus for money, but in the kingdom, the principle is sowing and reaping. If you just learn how to work this law, you'll never have to go back to God and ask for money.

How much money did Adam need to work the garden? How much overtime did he have to work? did He get a raise? the answer is-------- there is no answer because he was working
in the assignment. He wasn't concerned on how he would get paid or if his 401k was running out or anything like that. His concern was his assignment.

God made him of the dust of the ground, and then adam was placed inside of the garden[genesis 2:8]. 2 things I want to point out first; the dust had an assignment, there was no dust inside of the garden of eden, because there was no waste, everything had a use and a purpose. 2] Adam was placed in the garden EASTWARD. What does this mean? It means he had a free will to go northward, southward or westward, but his assignment was eastward.

Without a word, your assignment will remain hidden. God blessed them and He said unto them
" BE FRUITFUL,MULTIPLY AND REPLENISH THE EARTH". this was Gods' word to Adam
In mark 4:35 Jesus said "let us pass over to the other side". This was the word of God to his disciples. they were then assigned to go to the other side. You cannot go without a word.
Many people are working dead-end jobs, 2 and 3 jobs, doing whtever they can to get provision
, but they don't really have a vision for their life. Provision is in the vision. If you have no vision for your life, why would God give you provision[money resources]? If He has asssigned you to something, stay there. The serpent[devil, satan] wants to get the "SONS OF GOD" out of assignment minded into paycheck minded. assignment[ eternal, no limit] paycheck[in time, limits] The serpent even helped us by naming a day after your money, PAYDAY. If you think about it, start calling everyday PAYDAY and soon it will manifest. Ive got to go for now , but I will come back to this subject. take care for now

Manifesting the sons of God part 3

The Melchisedec Syndrome

When we last left off of this teaching, we found out that the world is not looking for christians, they are looking for sons. The word" Christian" is to indicate "christ-like. Christ was not Jesus
last name, it was a mantle that he wore. When you are a Christian, you are at a stage where you are being taught on what Christ did. When you are a son, you go from talking about what Christ did to doing what He did. It is not enough for you to put on Jesus, In acts 4:12, there is no other name under heaven given whereby we must be saved; however in Phil 4:13, I can do all things through Christ that strengthen me. So it is not enough for you to put on Jesus, it is not enough for you to put on Christ, you must put on JESUS CHRIST! In John 3:16 God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son. Before the Cross, Jesus is referred to as the only begotton son, but after the cross, He is referred to as the first born of many brethern, why? because now you are sons, so he is no longer the "ONLY" begotten son. this is very interesting, why? Because he raised Lazerus from the dead, so why wasn't lazerus, the first born of many brethern or the first born from the dead? Well, when Lazerus died, it wasn't to save us from our sins, He died because he was sick. You know that God doen't accept and sacrifice that was blemished, spotted, infirmed[sick] or diseased[num 19:2, 28:3] so lets move on.

In Hebrews 7:1, Melchisedec was 1. King of Salem[peace] 2. Priest of the most high God, so notice that he was both King and priest, it was not separate[rev 1:6] This is the order in which the sons must follow. We are not just Kings and we are not just priest, we are both. The Kings are the one with provision[resouces,money,business,jobs,etc] The priest have the vision[purpose,goals, stand in the gap for humanity, mediator between God and manI[Ist Tim 2:5]
There is one mediator between God and man, the "MAN" Christ Jesus. so the mediator between God amd man, is the man. Flesh and blood is the mediator and the spirit is the intercessor.
In hebrews 7:3, this is the qualifications to be in that order:
1. without father and mother= the purpose of the parents is to prepare a body, but your spirit came from God[Hebrews 10:5] This is the same thing with you.

2. without descent[ this is what I believe, take it or leave it] when we are talking about descent, this is not inreference to descendants, because he just told you that he didn't have a momma or daddy, moms and dads are descendants. this is in reference to a way of thinking, let me explain; You ascend up a mountain, and descend off of it, so this has to do with a way of thinking. He is saying that "i'm not going to bring my thinking down to you, but you are going to have bring your thinking up to Me.[Isa 55:8]. This scripture[isa 55:8] is crucial to becoming a son of God. My thoughts are not your thoughts and your ways are not my ways[ watch this next part closely] for as the heavens are higher than the earth; this means He used His thoughts and your thoughts as the measuring stick between the heavens and the earth. He is saying" the more you think like you , and the less you think like Me, the further you get from heaven!

3. No beginning of days nor the end of life: this is very simple, the ability to operate outside of time[John 10:10]. The only way to do this is to walk by faith[no time] and not by sight[time]
[get some of the earlier teachings on operating outside of time, these blogs on this subject are available upon request]. This also means that if you are walking by what you can naturally see,or walking by your 5 senses, and not by faith, you are disqualified from being a son, that means you are still a slave!

4. we abide as a priest continually; You are the daysman[umpire][job 9:33] the sons are the one who carry the blessing,favor, dominion,power,honor,glory,healing,prosperity etc. We demonstrate this priesthood, not at the church building where everybody already knows who Jesus is, but in the world, on your job, at the store, in your home. You going to be the persone that the world sees the goodness of God, and that will lead them to repentance[Roman 2:4]

well, think about it and get back to me on your thoughts. Let me know youv'e read this and other blogs by e-mailing me at Chuckvlewis@yahoo.com take care for now.

Manifesting the Sons of God part 2, Romans 8:19

Hello out there. I hope you are doing well today. In our last teaching, we found out that the world is not looking for Christians, they are looking for SONS. Christians are the ones who talk about what Jesus did, Sons actually do what Jesus did. When you are talking about being a sons of God[woman included], we are not talking about a gender thing. When Jesus started His ministry, he was about 30 yrs old, a grown man. When God created Adam, He made him a grown man, that is why adam was able to immediately began keeping the garden. We must simply grow up. Put away childish things[Ist Cor 13:11]. One of the anointings[mantle] that has been placed on us as sons, is to bring order to chaos, to bring light where there is darkness and to change every wilderness situation and make it look like the garden of Eden. How do we do this?
In proverbs 8:31 it says that wisdom[wise dominion] rejoices in the habitable part of His earth. Wisdom rejoices in the part that is livable, that tells me that wisdom doesn't rejoice in parts of the earth that is not livable[jungles,south pole,notrth pole, antartica, pluto,mars,jupiter,saturn,uranus,venus,mercury, neptune etc. The whole solar system was designed to be inhabited. Then why are those planets uninhabited? There are no sons speaking to thoses planets and commanding them to come alive. The earth is only a tithe for the solar system, it wasn't suppose to stop at JUST EARTH! If you'll notice that each of these planets were not named by God like the earth was. They were named ofter roman false gods, they were named after a LIE. Man has taken his intellect and named those planets, and have not asked The Lord Jesus what to name them.

In Isa 14:16-17 it says that " Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms, that made the world a wilderness? This is in reference to the serpent[devil,satan].
The first two parts happened when He fell out of heaven and hit the earth, and that shook Kingdoms and made the earth to tremble. He made the world a wilderness by convincing man to name things wrong or not in agreement with God. In rev 12 it talks about the devil and "HIS TAIL" drew a 3rd part of the "STARS OF HEAVEN"[angels]. The earth is 1/3 desert[my wife pointed this out].

God placed the garden of Eden here as a tithe of what the whole world would look once Adam finished his assignment. Let me show you how this works; your at work and someone comes up to you and begins to tell you about their marriage is failing and they are filing for divorce. The person nerves are shot, they are crying and they see no HOPE in the future. Well, you go home and pray in the Holy Ghost about that marriage , and about 3 weeks later, that person comes to you and says" I don't know what has happened, My spouse and I decided not to get a divorce after all, we are working it out. What has happened? you took a wilderness situation[ something that is being destroyed] and turning it into a garden ofEden[ something flourishing].

I'll give you another example: I am a tractor trailer driver. I deliver mattresses and boxsprings. I deliver REST[ Hallelujah]. i got to this particular customer in St. Stephens South Carolina. As I get there; all of a sudden the customer began to get customers in her store, as I got there! She told me " this is very interesting, I had no business all day long and the you showed up and we got customers"! hmmmmm what is going on here? The wilderness took on the form of no customers, no money, no income, A Son of God shows up and I through the sonship anointing, reverse the curse on that business so that it becomes a garden of Eden to that woman. She knows that there is something different about me that anyone else she came into contact with[ what a testimony]. I didn't have to come in and tell her about Jesus, or invite her to church, all I had to do is SHOW UP. People are tired of talk, they want to see that God does exists. [ Ist john 3:8] for this purpose was the son of God manifested that he might destroy the works of the devil.

Now lets look in the scripture for another witness. Exodus 23:10 the land is to be sowed in for 6 yrs and then in the 7th year it shall rest. This law was given while they were on the way to the promise land, not when they were already there. So , notice that they are planting seed when
there was NO RAIN, and yet they are producing, when there is NO RAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So they sow a seed and move on, sow seed and move on, sow seed and move on. Why Did God do this? It was his intention that when Isreal make the desert into a garden, so they are anointed to change that environment[ I DONT CARE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE]. In Hosea 11:1 he calls Isreal His son, but they were called "children of Isreal" because they are childish! It was meant that they leave a trail of where they were by sowing and reaping. they were supposed to leave a legacy behind so if anyone wanted to follow them to the promise land, all they had to do is follow the garden trail. You have the same power on you to do the same thing . You want people to see your lifestyle and that will make want to be saved, not what you say, but who you are.

In Dueteronomy 5:11, He said not to take the name of the Lord in vain. This has nothing to do with curse words. it means He gave you His name to change an situation and you have done anything with that situation. The job is just as bad when you got there as when they fired you.
You left no legacy, you complaining about your boss, 401k, etc. you have not changed the enviornment at all, you have made it worse. If that is you, YOU HAVE TAKEN HIS NAME IN VAIN. We don't use the name of Jesus just to shout and dance, we use it to go into any situation and change it for the good of the kingdom of God. God bless you. if you have any questions, you may contact me at Chuckvlewis@yahoo.com. The purpose of these blogs is to provoke a person to study the bible for themselves and not to rely on a preacher to tell them everything. As sons we all need to study to show ourselves approved, not to show ourselves disapproved! take care for now

self promotion = self destruction

Hello out there. I hope you are doing well today. I am still in this subject of manifesting the sons of God. I will take a different approach today. I was impressed by the Holy Ghost to talk about this subject today. This issue is in every church in America. Let me first say that I thank God for my Pastor, who speaks into my life as well as give correction when I need it. I am a better man today because of my pastor. I spent all day yesterday without any radio, music, cds' and really got in tuned with The Lord Jesus. He "CLEANED MY CLOCK", about the subject here.

Psalms 75:6 says that promotion comes not from the east,west,or south[ he left out the north?] but God is the judge. The verse b4 that says not to lift up your horn on high, and don't speak with a stiff neck. You do not promote yourself, it is The Lord Jesus that does it. Now I will go through a few scenarios and show how this is a creeping thing, it is not noticed by the person operating in it.

1. Have you ever thanked someone for doing something and they said this" TO GOD BE THE GLORY" or "ALL GLORY GOES TO HIM" or "GOD GETS THE GLORY"? I've seen it many times. the issue that the person being thanked is trying to put the glory on the the Lord, but in reality they bring the glory back on themselves by saying that. So the person who is thanking them, gets the impression of " boy they sure are humble". This is a deception. What they fail to realize is in Col 1:27, Christ in YOU, the hope of glory. His Glory is inside of you, and it is manifested through different works, He gets the glory by you doing what He told you to do. So when you are thanked for doing something, just say " you are welcome", and move on.

2. Musicians: I've been an organist,pianist, and bass player for about 30 years. I use to live to hear people say" boy you sure can whip that organ". I even had my cousin say to me" you make that organ speak in tongues"! When the music played at the church, I was always the loudest, the showboater, the star attraction. People all over the Winston-Salem area, heard of me. I got full of pride. I knew that I was anointed for music, but I let self promtion get in the way. I taught many people how to play, but I could see that the self promtion was also tranferred to them without me telling them. My prideful spirit tranferred to them. Musicians, I cannot stress this enough, the piano is the lead instrument, let the piano player lead. When you take off in another direction contrary to what is going on with the rest of the music, you are showboating, it is EVIL, stop it! I can remember playing the bass and somehow getting the rest of the musicians to follow me instead of the leader, it is EVIL. I've seen musicians play everything they know in one song and then do it again in another. You season the song with your style, DON'T POUR SALT ALL OVER THE MEAL, YOU DICE IT! I'm telling you this so you can check yourself. You have arrived when you no longer have anything to prove.

3. My wife recently attended a Joyce Meyer conference. She said that there was a woman behind her saying "AMEN"to everything that Joyce was saying, everything! You've met people who had to be the loudest talkers in the group, or the jokester. They are promoting themselves through any means possible, it is EVIL, STOP IT. Don't be the mouth of the group. Listen.

4.Don't release uneccessary knowledge, until it is asked of you. The problem with Joeseph was he told his brothers his dreams. God never told joeseph to tell his brother about his dreams. Joeseph could have bypassed the prison, if HE WOULD HAVE KEPT HIS MOUTH SHUT.
If you are a person who has alot of dreams, don't tell everyone you know about them. Have you
ever heard this " God told me this" and "God told me that, and that, and that, and this ,and that.
They must be close to God because He told them that, nawww it is an opportunity to promote yourself. If The Lord Jesus tells you anything, it will come to pass, and everybody will see it, you won't have to broadcast it. Mary had the opportunity to promote herself when the angel told her that she would have a son, named Jesus. Luke chapter 1:29 said that she cast in her mind what was going on, she didn't cast it in her mouth. The angel visited marys' husband Joseph and told him to take the young child and his mother and go to egypt[mat 2:14]. Joseph had the opportunity to self promote. He meditated on what the angel said, but didn't release it out of his mouth. What would have happened if Joeseph or Mary would have said" We have the son of God, and yall don't", " an angel talked to us, not yall ". Herod would have found them and killed Jesus. So self promotion can destroy your future. Let's visit the old testement and find a situation shall we?

II Chronicles 9: The queen of Shebe[ethiopia] came to see the Wisdom of Solomon. Read this chapter carefully, and don't miss this. There are places in this chapter where he is referred to as
"King Solomon", and then there are places in this chapter where he his referred to as "Solomon".
Same man, different roles. When he is referred to as "King Solomon" it means he is acting like a king[ thats good]. When he is referred to as"Solomon", thats not so good, he is acting like a man, and not a king. So here is this queen that is in awe of all that Soloman is and his wisdom, that came from God, his riches and wealth, servants ministers etc. In verse 2, Solomon answered all of her questions, not King Solomon, just Solomon. He is releasing wisdom uneccessarily, to impress that queen[ self promotion]. right at the end of that chapter, He dies and now rehoboam, his son reign in his stead. Nowhere in the chapter does it talk about Rehoboam? why? Could it be that Solomon is so busy impressing people that he forgot to train up his son to take the throne, Like David did for Him?

Two things in what I just said

1. 2chron 9:31 Rehoboam, his son: it is President Barak Obama, It is not Barak Obama, president. when the title[son] goes behind the name, it speaks of disagreement. When the title[son] goes before the name, it speaks of agreement. My wife is named Anne, so she is"my wife Anne", she is not "Anne my wife"!

2.When it says that Rehoboam reigned in his stead, it means that Rehobaom got the kingdom and the throne, by defualt. Solomon did not train up his child in the way he should go, and as a result, when you get to chapter 10, he is fighting for a position that he could have obatined, had he been trained. If you are fighting for a position in the local church body, it is not yours, stop it! I remember fighting for position of Minister of music at a church once. I said that Iwas the min. of music, but the pastor never gave me that title.

David trained up Solomon and then submitted himself under Solomons hand. So Soloman was king over David while David was still alive.[1Kings 1:34]. It is evil for a person not to train up someone to eventually take that persons place. I've heard of preachers who preached right up until they died,but didn't train up a replacement, so now the church has to hire someone from the outside to come in, instead of training someone from inhouse. I always made sure that I duplicated myself in other musicians so If I were to leave, they could take over. People don't train up a replacement because they are still holding on to that title, that office, that feeling of control. It is self promotion at it's most subtil level. "can't nobody do it better than ME". I hope and pray that any one reading this blog will share it with others. We must get this spirit out of our churches, or our next generation will be doomed. Take care for now
