Hopefully this will inspire people to use the Freedom of Speach our Founding Father's afforded us, and tell people why we need to believe in God.

It really shouldn't surprise anyone. America has been systematically removing God from everything for years and the sad thing is no one is stopping them. We allowed prayer to be taken out of school and look at the kids of today. We allowed prayer to be stopped in most assemblies as not to 'force God" on anyone and look at society today. We allowed abortions, gay rights and rights for criminials and look at the society we have today. We as a nation glorify bad behavior and don't call sin "sin" because it's not politically correct. We should be worried about being morally right, not politically correct. This is just one more step toward total rejection of God in this country and until the church (the body of Christ) is willing to get on their knees and praying for divine intervention can we really be surprised by this.

I have come to realize that as long as 'we the church' continue to follow our current path we are dooming our younger generations to the declining moral standards in this world. I am moved to tears when I think about the reality of living in this sinful world without God. The suffering, the misery, the deception, the degradation, and the lack of love that comes from Godlessness.

As an evangelist I have recently had to adjust my entire ministry approach as the Holy Spirit is revealing more truth to me. I mean I'm all for most of the current evangelism methods but for me it was just not my calling. I've tried most methods from tracts, door to door visits, jail and hospital, way of the master methods and such. Nothing stops the urging of the Holy Spirit to do something more..... Then God began to reveal the simplistic truth of his will, the Bible, and his Kingdom. I have become extremely fundemental in my teaching. I stopped disecting the bible bit to bit and looked at it from a whole prospective. I asked God to help me see it from the big picture view (more likely the way he does) and some very intresting truths were instantly revealed and are easily seen. First I realized his "big picture will" and that always has been for his children to turn to him and trust him whole-heartedly. Then I began to see my true relationship to him, adopted son, joint heir with Christ and ambassador to his Kingdom. I began to realize the true power in the name of Jesus Christ and the authority he has entrusted us with by that name. I discovered that I am to be light in darkness and stop seeking the sin in others and even to stop trying to correct sinfullness in anyone but myself. We are supposed to "be the church" not just "go to a church". If we look for darkness in others we are only seeing the speck of the true sin within them anyway. Suddenly several scriptures come to light mainly "get the beam out of your own eye so that you may see clearly to get the speck out of your brothers eye." Another is "if the light within the darkness is darkness then how dark that darkness must be."

We are children of God called into the light in order to be Gods light within a darkened, blind and sinfilled world. I now teach that we are to be light seekers and that in the blackest hearted individual there is a light no matter how dim and depressed that we can see if we will seek it and then we can nurture that one good thing into a glimmer of hope that can be kindled into a real flame and a life can be saved. If a lost person sees me working on my own sin within me. If he sees me tending the flame of Gods light within me. When he sees that example being set forth to him then he can think about himself and eventually be persuaded to make a real decision for righteousness. True conversion only comes from being able to make a choice and that from the information being provided. Too often have I heard the unsaved say they would rather perish than to spend eternity with the so called christians they knew. This is directly related to them witnessing the darkness within some church goers. They have to be able to witness the light of Gods true church those of us who are sincere and who do love our neighbor enough to try our best to keep ourselves un-spotted from the world at large.

Sorry this message is not able to be conveyed in short form as i now know what I must preach for the rest of my term here on earth.

Love you all

There's another side to this. The further a country gets away from God and the worse it gets in morals, politics, whatever, the more those Christians who are serious for the Lord start to show out as being different: unworldly rather than worldly, utterly committed rather than not greatly committed, and so on. At that stage they will likely come under persecution, something Jesus promised us! John 15:20 et al.

I remember when Communism took over in China and banned Christianity, and we all thought, "How terrible!" And it was. BUT... God is never mocked, and true Christians cannot ever be stopped. Today the strongest church in the world is the Underground House Churches in China. They are still being persecuted - hence 'Underground'. They have to mean business cos they can be arrested and worse at any time. And they DO mean business. One in every 10 Chinese is a serious Christian in this church - over one hundred million of them!!! Can any other country boast that many Christians willing to give their lives for Christ every day of their lives?

I would love to live long enough and have the health to visit this church and see how it is they manage to live the utterly committed lives that they do!

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
