Supreme Court Oral Arguments…SSM: An Excellent Summation.

My FB friend Kenneth on FB messenger gave me the audio of the SCOTUS oral arguments of the case before the court called “Obergefell v. Hodges. 

It was riveting and interesting.

Here is the docket in a nutshell.

14-556 OBERGEFELL V. HODGES

DECISION BELOW: 772 F.3d 388
LOWER COURT CASE NUMBER: 14-3057, 14-3464 QUESTION PRESENTED:

A TOTAL OF NINETY MINUTES IS ALLOTTED FOR ORAL ARGUMENT ON QUESTION 1. A TOTAL OF ONE HOUR IS ALLOTTED FOR ORAL ARGUMENT ON QUESTION 2. THE PARTIES ARE LIMITED TO FILING BRIEFS ON THE MERITS AND PRESENTING ORAL ARGUMENT ON THE QUESTIONS PRESENTED IN THEIR RESPECTIVE PETITIONS.

CERT. GRANTED 1/16/2015

While we will never be able to read into the minds of the justices, it is important to know what was argued and to what length, the justices may be leaning.

Again, it is foolish to read into what they are thinking because only the Lord knows what is in their minds.

I will say that the information gleaned from this is important because while you are hearing and reading what was said, you can see that they are well versed in the lower court’s precedent rulings that offer a glimpse into this subject. As you will see, they refuse to use the Bible as the basis of any argument. However, you will see that they are somewhat careful not to interfere with a minister’s right to refuse to perform the ceremony of matrimony to same sex couples.

One justice finally admitted that ministers declare homosexuality is a sin. 

I was shocked. 

It is clear that they also are careful about establishing a ruling for SSM that is constitutional and takes away any chance of a debate. To ask for the courts to rule as unelected officials and take away the States right, and the people’s right to deliberate is also a very interesting point brought up by the justices.

Also, it is clear that both attorney’s before the court were using children in the backdrop to bolster their arguments.

Sympathy towards a child’s plight that are adopted is another way to make the argument more palatable and sympathetic towards the position of practicing homosexuals having families.

God, in His sovereign wisdom, put the book of Proverbs in such a way that a male adolescent is to listen, obey, and honor father and mother, not father and father, or mother and mother. 

But we all know that it is about bringing legitimacy to the sin of homosexuality.

Marriage is not about bringing stability to homosexual relationships. It’s always been about establishing homosexuality as a legitimate and normal act. We all know that homosexuality is not normal. Just as adultery, fornication, porn, bisexuality, bestiality, and masturbation is not normal sex within the bonds of matrimony.

There is a vast difference between heterosexual sex and homosexual sex. The sex act, in and of itself is relatively the same, but to whom they are involved is definitely different.

Some will say that this is argumentative.

It’s not an argument because the Creator designed us to mate with the opposite sex within matrimony.

Arguing against the Scriptures is the one way where human reasoning falsely believes it can do.

According to one justice, marriage between one man and one woman was around since “millennial” and that SSM has only been around since 2001. No other society before 2000 has a track record of how SSM plays out over time. For the justices that are unelected officials, to rule and impose SSM on the entire country, is a valid point.

There are three things that MUST happen here in order for SSM proponents to be successful.

1. Don’t believe in the Creator.

2. Change the Creator, prohibit His believers, and alter, annul, and make void His Word.

3. Re-write what marriage is and include SSM.

On points 1 and 2, proponents of the sin of homosexuality almost were successful. Except that every now and then, believers in the Lord would crop up to make their voices heard. 

Another point is that I know that there are radical believers in the Lord, however, I believe that we can dialogue without compromise. We know that some practicing homosexuals will not budge from their position. However, they must know that we cannot budge from the Biblical position of marriage between one man and one woman.

Then, how could there be any dialogue if both sides refuse to give in?

The intent of any dialogue is to put forth an effort to understand each other. Homosexuals must know that we do love them because the Bible commands us to. God loves us but He knows how to love you and hate you at the same time.

Confused?

What God declares a sin is the issue.

To associate with that sin or any sin makes you one with what He hates. At the same time, the Lord loves us enough to tell us what He hates and how to be free of the sin that He hates. God never created us to sin. He created us to love Him. True believers in Jesus prove that we love Him when we keep His commandments. 

What commands?

The command to abstain from fleshly lusts that war against the soul. 

Jesus didn’t die for our sins so we could continue in sin. Jesus died to free us from sin so we don’t have to be under sin’s power. 

To walk in a house with muddy shoes is insulting. To walk in His presence with sin is insulting to Him. 

However, John 3:16 is there for a reason. God loved us enough to send His Son to die for our sins so that we could be free.

There is no freedom in sin, even when you are free to do anything you want. Even with doing anything you want, there still must be accountability (see Romans 14:11-12).

So while we are adamant about not compromising God’s Word, we are aware that, based on the arguments from practicing homosexuals, they have a right to SSM. 

What we believe and what you believe will always be like bucking heads because both sides refuse to give in.

However it is important to note that as a result of such head bucking, we do not have to resort to being bitter about each other because of opposing positions.

It’s about convincing both sides of what is right and what is wrong. 

Without question, sin is wrong. 

To homosexuals, homosexuality is not wrong because to them, it is not a sin. 

Even in the face of STDs, which is the “penalty of their error which was due,” they are fully convinced that their acts are still right, as vile and unnatural as it is.

What matters most to practicing homosexuals is a decision from the highest human court in the land to vindicate their argument to legitimize homosexuality as a normal activity worthy of the highest institution afforded between one man and one woman. 

Marriage Equality. 

We all know that homosexuals, at least the elite proponents that is pushing their agenda, is doing an end around the Holy Scriptures that absolutely prohibit homosexuality. 

According to Scripture, sin is never on equal footing with righteousness. So if homosexuals declare themselves free from the authority of the Scriptures, they seek authority elsewhere to hijack an institution created by God. 

The Supreme Court. 

With that said, believers must walk in Psalm 1.

We don’t have to engage in conflict where the hatred intensifies to where we remain hostile to each other. However, we know that hostilities is an expression of heated passion that is unreasonable. When homosexuals call for tolerance, they are intolerant of our refusal to accept homosexuality as normal. 

What we can learn from this is that God is God of love, and justice.

God is holy and righteous.

God will not let sin reign.

God will save you and deliver you when you are ready to be free.

Homosexuals Outlaw Christianity?: The Pending Supreme Court Decision

Not so fast. 

But should we continue to sin in the church, and the SCOTUS continues to further reinterpret the equal protection under the law clause to create laws for a special class of people, it’s a matter of time. 

how could God let this happen?

God didn’t. 

We did. 

When believers fail to outlaw sexual sins, we shouldn’t be surprised that the world is looking to put righteousness out of business. 

But notice that they are trying everything to stop the remnant from staying true to God. Yet, we always find a way to keep preaching. 

Beheadings, jail time, economic restrictions and isolations, court rulings, you name it. 

Listen to Psalms 2:1-4

“Why do the nations rage,

And the people plot a vain thing? 

The kings of the earth set themselves,

And the rulers take counsel together,

Against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying, 

“Let us break Their bonds in pieces

And cast away Their cords from us.” 

He who sits in the heavens shall laugh;

The Lord shall hold them in derision.”

Where it says “break their bonds in pieces and cast away their cords,”

That’s the restraining power of the Word of God. This is exactly what the world desires to do. Rid the world of God’s gospel that restrains man bound in sin. 

They want to be free of God but it can’t happen. 

So they impose laws to make believers cease living and preaching the Word. 

2 Timothy 1:7

“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”

1 John 4:18-19

“There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. We love Him because He first loved us.”

This love is not a feeling, for we prove we love Jesus when we keep, not throw away, His commandments. 

John 14:15

“If you love Me, keep My commandments.

1 John 5:2-3

“By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome.”

The sin of homosexuality, adultery, fornication, bisexuality, porn, bestiality, and masturbation were already outlawed by God. 

If man persists and insists upon these sins, the SCOTUS can’t help them. 

Romans 14:10b-13a

“For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. For it is written:

“As I live, says the Lord,

Every knee shall bow to Me, And every tongue shall confess to God.”

So then each of us shall give account of himself to God.”

Hebrews 9:27-28

“And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment, so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation.”

Revelation 21:8

“But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”

For me and many other preachers, our calling doesn’t change. We will still preach the truth in love. We will still remain true to our God regardless the cost. We will never deny our Lord or His Word. We will still preach that homosexuality and all sexual sins is an abomination. 

We will still offer the ONLY Savior of the world as the only hope of freedom and deliverance from sin and hell. 

We will offer His salvation without fear and trembling. We will endure hardship as good soldiers in Jesus. We will still pray for this nation and its leaders. 

We will continue regardless the outcome to love God more by obeying Him more. 

Therefore, should LGBT succeed, it didn’t catch God by surprise and we continue the course to please God with the foolishness of preaching. 

Forcing The Religion Of Homosexuality Down A Christian’s Throat 

You’ve heard the saying before that when people are preaching the Word that you are “shoving your religion down my throat.”

The people say this because the convicting power of the Holy Spirit has invaded their dark hearts and minds. 

Now the Word says in John 16:8-11…

“And when He (The Holy Spirit) has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: of sin, because they do not believe in Me; of righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more; of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.”

The Word convict also means convince.

The sinner has been convinced by the Holy Spirit that they are in sin.

To suppress the convincing power of the Holy Spirit, they attack the Holy Spirit and the person being used by the Holy Spirit, and adamantly declare that you are shoving “religion” down their throat. 

All in an attempt to get you to stop being used by the Holy Spirit to convince people of their sin and repent.

So the devil took a page out of its own book and is now shoving the religion of homosexuality down the throats of true believers in Jesus.

Since sin has no convicting power, they resort to man’s legal system to force believers to stop preaching the Word with convicting power.

The first amendment was placed there by the founding fathers of this nation as a means of protecting freedom of religion and free speech. The burden of the first amendment is not on the church but it is upon congress.

The interpretation of the first amendment from Thomas Jefferson of “a wall of separation” has been “erected” was misconstrued to be a part of the first amendment. Giving the false notion that the church is to stay out of the business of government. 

Wrong on both parts. 

Government is made up “by the people and for the people.”

Again, the burden is on congress to not make laws to prohibit freedom of religion nor establish a religion, nor prohibit the free exercise thereof.

The religion of homosexuality is a blatant attempt to do exactly what government is prohibited from doing while silencing its own moral code.  

Not realizing that government is heavily influenced by moral law established by God in the OT. 

Without moral law, anarchy and lawlessness prevails with impunity. 

Today, the only objective of the proponents of the sin of homosexuality is to silence free speech from believers so that homosexuals could be free of the convicting power of the Holy Spirit; to be free to sin with impunity.

The religion of homosexuality defiantly reject and refuse the ruling of the Judge of heaven and earth, and is diabolically using the judicial system of the earth to force opponents of the sin of homosexuality to accept their sin without question and under penalty of law.

On Tuesday, April 28, 2015, the SCOTUS will hear oral arguments to override the will of individual states that does not recognize SSM. Prayer is being made to intercept the justices’ decision.

As you well know, these justices already discussed this issue among themselves and have pre-determined which way they will vote. The ruling will be handed out sometime in June.

This doesn’t mean that they cannot change their ruling.

“With God all things are possible.”

Just imagine the priests and false pastors of homosexuality coming out and commanding the true church to accept the sin of homosexuality?

It’s not far fetched.

It’s been what the devils were waiting for.

Demons in people will force the holy people of God to accept immorality or be found in contempt of court should we refuse.

Daniel was told not to pray to His God or be eaten by lions. To the lion’s den he went. And from the lion’s den he survived.

The sons of Judah, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, were told that when the music plays, bow down or be burned. To the fire they went, and from the fire they survived. 

It’s best to be on fire for God than to be in the fire of hell because of sin. 

Religion by force is dangerous because the will of a person is not involved.

A person is free to choose.

God desires a willing heart. 

But satan cannot accept the fact of choice because he knows that people would come to their senses and ignore him. Hence, the legal agenda of the elite proponents of the sin of homosexuality. 

They can’t accept the fact that it’s about choice so they don’t just want to be accepted. They don’t just want to be left alone. They don’t just want to marry. 

They want God to stop convicting them of sin. They want true believers to not preach and live with conviction. They want to force acceptance of the sin of homosexuality.

But it doesn’t stop there.

They want validity from hold outs. They want righteous preachers to perform the sacerdotal function of holy matrimony. They want their children (surrogacy, artificial inseminated, adoption) dedicated to the Holy God of heaven. They want true believers to make cakes, flowers, and all other things to make this sin acceptable.

They want their homosexual gods to coexist with the God of heaven and earth.

Since the sin of homosexuality cannot stand on its own merits, meaning that let them go after their vile desires without true believers involving themselves in their personal lives, they push to force the religion of homosexuality down our throats and to make us toe their vile line.

The demise of the first amendment is just a matter of time. 

The demise of this nation, should believers fail to repent, is upon us. 

For judgment must begin at the house of God (see 1 Peter 4:17), not at the nation until afterwards.

The reach of the spirit of Nebuchadnezzar is pressing harder and faster in this nation. But also read carefully what happened to Babylon after Nebuchadnezzar’s kingdom came to an end. Hananiah, Mishael, Azariah, and Daniel survived and Nebuchadezzar died as well as his kingdom.

Hence, the outcome of the righteous will always be good and will continue, and the outcome of the unrighteous will cease and will always be bad.

So should the SCOTUS overrule the individual will of the states, darkness will further tighten its grip, the saints will be under more levels of legal maneuvers to silence the voice of righteousness, and persecution will deepen its commitment to enforce silence.

But the darker the world, the brighter the church.

But a much more sinister plot is unfolding. 

DIVERSIONS

Race relations is a diversion tactic successfully deployed to draw our action away from spiritual matters.

Ferguson, Staten Island, and Seminole were tragic events, but no one really addressed the fact that three or more uncounted souls of black people entered into eternity.

Their souls if not in Christ is in hell.

When it comes to the policies of the United States concerning Israel, could it be that the Obama administration is using SSM to divert the attention of churches and pastors away from supporting Israel?

The two state solution is a failed solution that puts the United States in the crosshairs of the judgment of God. 

The Clinton administration and the Bush 43 administration both suffered serious judgment from God. The Obama administration has already set the stage to be the recipient of the judgment of God as the previous two administrations received.

According to Genesis 12, God gave that land to Abram and his descendants, and any nation that curses Israel will be cursed. Sharing the land is out of the Biblical God ordained question.

In 2012, millions of dollars were given to the Palestinians to rebuild housing after the Israelis destroyed the houses that Hamas used to stage attacks against Israel. 

Israel has a right to defend themselves and we give money to their attackers to rebuild housing for Palestinians.

Knowing full well that the Palestinians will sacrifice their families to destroy Israel. 

On camera, Obama supports Israel but behind the scenes, they curse Israel. But God will judge the United States in broad daylight.  

Do you expect us to be blessed by God when you force Israel to give up land to have peace?

The goal is to annihilate Israel. 

We all know that if the Palestinian get land or is recognized as a state within a state, it won’t stop there. 

When the church is overrun with Secret and Overt Sexual Sins, God can’t bless His church. This puts us as a co-conspirator with the devil to allow sin in the camp and nation, and to be anti-Semite. 

There is not one nation that has ever harmed Israel and were never judged by God. 

All who are against Israel must be judged or God lied about His covenant. 

The homosexual agenda was shoved to the front of this nation to divert attention away from the harsh policies against Israel. 

So in actuality, two policies are in play. Shove homosexuality down the throats of believers, threaten them with destroying their church if they preach against homosexuality, and support policies against Biblical standards. 

Which in turn, gets them to focus attention away from supporting Israel. 

Far fetched? 

Just know that with any administration, smoke in mirrors is always possible. 

Homosexuality Is About To Be Constitutionalized In The United States: Rise And Pray

My wife received an email from the International House Of Prayer concerning oral arguments that will be held before the SCOTUS. We’ve should have been praying about this months ago. However, we cannot afford to wait until April 28 when these arguments will take place.

If you are a detractor, disregard this blog. If you are against prayer, disregard this blog. If you are an opponent, disregard this blog. If you have given up on this nation, disregard this blog. If you have said, “What’s the use?, and “What good will it do?,” disregard this blog.

But if you are serious about making a stand today, not next week, fall on your face before God and pray like you’ve never prayed before.

When it is said and done, will you stand before Jesus to answer to Him for not seeking His face and turning from your wicked ways?

LGBT has had it’s way for a long time.

But the Lord could be down a gazilion points with 0.01 left on the clock and still run the devil out the gym.

Andrew Murray said in a book on Prayer that “Prayer is power with God.”

Like never before, we need to exercise this power to see God do a mighty work in the earth.

The Lord doesn’t need but one person that will decide to give themselves to prayer and fasting to seek God.

Will you be that one vessel?

2 Chronicles 16:9 says, “For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him.”

2 Chronicles 7:14 says, “if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”

Because you are reading this blog, the Lord has found you. Will you humble yourself and pray, and seek His face, and turn from your wicked ways (prayerlessness)?

Listen to what Samuel said in 1 Samuel 12:23-25.

“Moreover, as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the Lord in ceasing to pray for you; but I will teach you the good and the right way. Only fear the Lord, and serve Him in truth with all your heart; for consider what great things He has done for you. But if you still do wickedly, you shall be swept away, both you and your king.”

If we fail to pray, we sin a great sin. If we insist on doing wickedly, we will be swept away………the church and political leadership (all three branches of this government).

Together, we can get the job done.

Will you join us?

Here is a good prayer to daily pray for this urgent situation.

PRAYER FOR SUPREME COURT

Father, in the name of Jesus, we pray for the Supreme Court of his nation. The docket that is before this court is about the constitutionality of the sin of homosexuality. We, as Your people, beseech You to move into the courtroom and direct their minds not to establish this vile sin to prevail in this nation.

Let the proponents of homosexuality be disappointed, and set in derision. Let them be confounded and be without the wisdom that is from underneath.

Let them recognize the righteous judgments of the Lord and repent of this wickedness.

This nation is in the balance.

But You have seen this from the beginning, and this did not catch You off guard.

Therefore, the outcome is well known to You.

We have turned from You and Your Word, we have sinned by not being diligent on our watch. We have sinned by not holding ourselves accountable to Your Word. Forgive us as You have said in Your holy Word. But we have returned to You and stand on Your righteous Word as the righteousness of God in Christ.

We have removed the leaven of sin from our lives and we stand as Your children, holy, sanctified, and consecrated.

Quote 2 Chronicles 7:14

Now look upon this land and the hearts of men.

Let not the unrighteous prevail in this hour.

Let not the sin of homosexuality prevail in this land.

Let not the proponents who devise wickedness prevail.

Let not the pressure of the hour push us to live in fear and terror.

As your Word says, Lord.

“Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.” Proverbs 14:24

“Therefore the Lord will wait, that He may be gracious to you;
And therefore He will be exalted, that He may have mercy on you.
For the Lord is a God of justice;
Blessed are all those who wait for Him.”  Isaiah 30:18

“But let justice run down like water, and righteousness like a mighty stream.” Amos 5:24

Let Your name and Your Word prevail, and be glorified and honored!

In Jesus’ name! Amen!!!!!

GOP presidential candidate Ted Cruz is sending a letter to tens of thousands of pastors asking them to stand with God and pray during the two-hour time frame on April 28:

“On Tuesday, April 28, the United States Supreme Court is scheduled to hear arguments in favor of ‘same-sex marriage.’ How will the American church respond?

How can the church rise to the occasion in this situation? … I urge you to consider the following—

1. Preach about biblical marriage on Sunday, April 26.

2. Lead prayer services on Tuesday, April 28.

Will we be on the right side of history, the side occupied by the Author of history? Will we discard an institution, ordained by God, which has brought so much stability and happiness to the human family? … Rightly or wrongly, the Supreme Court will take a stand on marriage this summer. Let’s take ours now.

God bless America,

American Renewal ProjectIt is time for You to act, O Lord,
For they have regarded Your law as void.
Psalm 119:126Pastor,It is time for You to act. We are asking the 100K American Renewal = Project pastors for 2 actions:

1) Preach on Biblical Marriage on Sunday April 26, 2015.
The Apostle Paul calls marriage a “profound mystery.” A man and woman becoming one flesh through marriage is more than a civil contract, it represents “Christ and the Church” (Ephesians 5:22–6:9; Colossians 3:18–4:1).

2) Lead Prayer Services on Tuesday, April 28th, 11:30 AM–1:30 PM in their sanctuaries.
This two-hour window will focus on prayer. We intend to cry for mercy for what we, believers, have allowed to happen to our nation, that was established “For the Glory of God and the advancements of the Christian faith.” (The Mayflower Compact).

Supreme Court BuildingThe U.S. Supreme Court is scheduled to hear arguments on same-sex marriage on Tuesday, April 28th. Justice Ginsberg and Justice Kagan even now have performed homosexual marriage ceremonies. Their integrity should insist that they recuse themselves for lack of impartiality; but they are the law. Such secularists lack virtue.

America has become drugged by the cup of Secularism — a false and wicked religion — articulated in the Humanist Manifesto, a creed that denied supernatural relevation, and so the revelation of God in Jesus Christ. The ‘religion’—as it was called in the Humanist Manifesto (1933)—was imposed by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1963, an 8-1 decision, in Abington School District v. Schempp. Lone dissenting Justice Potter Stewart prophesied, “…[the decision to remove the Bible from public schools] led not to true neutrality with respect to religion, but to the establishment of a religion of secularism.” 

That proud and tragic decision has given birth to a complete moral breakdown in America, those doing this to our country must be held accountable. The wise Solomon says, “Where there is no revelation the people cast off restraint; but blessed is the one who heeds wisdom’s instruction” (Proverbs 29:10). America’s Founders laid the foundation on biblical virtue, His Word. Udo W. Middleman, president of the Francis A. Schaeffer Foundation says, “He has told us in his Word how we should live and order our lives, set our priorities, and what sense to make of being human.” A Christian nation once, America is now ruled by an oligarchy, a majority of nine, representing, “Vice stalking in virtue’s garb.”

God defines sin, not the U.S. Supreme Court. Having removed the fixed point in order to judge in 1963, the esteemed Justices, in hubris, decided to challenge God’s rule, God’s throne, and God’s rightful Honor. America is on the verge of learning something that can be learned in no other way—rebellion against God brings consequences. There is no safety in distance from God.

What is the antidote, the counteracting agent, to the foisting of homosexual marriage on a once Christian nation? “In the day of my trouble I will call upon you, for You will answer me.” (Psalm 86:7)

“Our experience confirms us in the belief that Jehovah the living God really does aid those who call upon him, and therefore we pray and mean to pray, not because we are so fascinated by prayer that for its own sake we would continue in it if it proved to be mere folly and superstition, as vain philosophers assert; but because we really, indeed, and of a truth, find it to be a practical and effectual means of obtaining help from God in the hour of need. There can be no reason for praying if there be no expectation of the Lord’s answering. ” Charles H. Spurgeon

Why are not the churches of America filled with prayer services, led by senior pastors, asking God for mercy of what we have allowed to a once Christian nation? Who will, by faith, help America’s pastors track down the weapons of warfare? Prayer and tears are the Christians weapons of war, very little cannonading and bombardment appears to be occurring in America’s sanctuaries today.

– REQUEST –
Turn on your images!We are asking the 100K American Renewal Project pastors to lead prayer services on Tuesday, April 28th, 11:30AM–1:30PM, in your sanctuaries. This two-hour window is not sermonizing, but prayer, led by God’s shepherds; Jehovah is not interested in numbers, if it’s you and two others, then God will be honored. We intend to cry for mercy for what we, believers, have allowed to happen to our nation established by our Founders on a spiritual mission, “For the Glory of God and the advancements of the Christian faith.” (The Mayflower Compact)

We need Gideons to stand, and lead prayer services, Tuesday, April 28th, 11:30AM–1:30PM. For those of the flock who cannot attend the prayer service led by the shepherd, please ask that they stop where they are and pray; we need a miracle.

Supporting Sin & Anti Semitism May Cost You: The Obama Dilemma

Unknown-7Very few people understand how the Bible works.

I do not claim to know all the Bible, but just enough to point some things out.

Already, the voices of detractors are circling because anytime you talk about Israel and Obama, it’s predetermined that there is hatred against Obama. And anti Semitism is becoming a normal act these days. “Blame the Jews for everything.” It’s much bigger than this and if you do not see the bigger picture behind this, nothing that I or anyone else will say will change your mind. You’ll just have to see how this plays out and determine later that it was the hand of God all along.

I could miss it just like everyone else. I’m not perfect, but I’m not stupid either.

The OT is more about God’s interaction with men before grace than it is with the law/torah-instruction from the Lord God. Many will say that whenever there is an interaction between God and man in the OT, many write off that interaction and never learn a vital lesson.

That God interacts with man on God’s terms and not yours.

This dangerous approach of chucking OT interaction is mixed with the fact that we are under grace and therefore we are immune from any “judgment” as executed by God. But if you look carefully in the NT, you will find that the only Scriptures that the early believers had was………..drum roll………the OT, until our current Bible was formed in………..the 1400’s/1500’s.

Regarding “Scripture”, for instance, when Paul mentioned the resurrection of Jesus in 1 Corinthians 15, he said that “Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you — unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures,”

What Scriptures?

The OT.

Now mind you that I am not advocating returning to the OT.

We are under grace for we are saved by grace through faith in Christ Jesus. We cannot live the law/torah/instruction so Jesus lived it for us and we are now under the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus. That’s of course those of us that repented and declare that Jesus is Lord over our lives, believing that God raised Jesus from the dead (see Romans 10:9-10).

So much of what was written by Paul, Peter, John, James, Jude, Luke, Matthew, Mark, and the unknown writer of Hebrews was undoubtedly substantiated by the quoting of the OT. Nine writers in all. According to Biblical Numerology, nine is the number of finality, meaning that the single digits cease with the number nine. Hence, the NT is final.

Grace superseded the law/torah/instruction but the interaction between God and man continued.

God’s attitude towards sin is still the same. God hates sin and those that deliberately practice sin. As I have said before, God knows how to hate and love at the same time. He is God and that’s all you and I need to know.

God gave the land to Israel and there is nothing that you or I can do about it.

God said to Abraham these words in Genesis 12:1-4 “Now the Lord had said to Abram: “Get out of your country, from your family and from your father’s house, to a land that I will show you. I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you. And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” So Abram departed as the Lord had spoken to him, and Lot went with him. And Abram was seventy- five years old when he departed from Haran.”

This interaction between God and Abram, now Abraham (from exalted father to father of many nations) is a covenant without your permission, input, or interjection. There is nothing that you can do to interrupt, derail, stop, suspend, or cancel. We are all powerless to tell God that it is not fair, or that the Palestinians or anyone else has a right to occupy or share a land exclusively given to Israel by God.

Sadly, in the face of this Scripture, people will still act like they are stoned on stuff and not see or accept the Scripture.

The election of Bill Clinton, George Bush, and Barack Obama is according to a plan that no one realizes until it is too late.

During the administration of Bill Clinton, the land for peace deal between the Palestinians and Israel, while Benjamin Netanyahu was prime minister of Israel, cost the United States and Netanyahu was voted from office. Not because he gave up land for peace but because Arafat and the Clinton administration behind the scenes push to remove Netanyahu so that a deal for land for peace could be initiated by the new prime minister of Israel, Ehud Barak. And Netanyahu was voted from office in 1999. How did it cost the United States?

Clinton’s sexual escapades reached a climax (pun intended) where he was humiliated before the world in 1998. As a note, even then, they were looking at establishing constitutional rights for homosexuals so they produced a precursor law called DADT (don’t ask, don’t tell). Then in 1996, legislation was approved for DOMA or Defense of Marriage Act which was incorrectly addressed as having some parts declared unconstitutional by the SCOTUS.

DOMA allowed states to refuse to recognize same sex marriages.

And on the 29 of April, the SCOTUS will hear oral arguments to allow the federal government to completely bypass states rights to further legalize the sin of homosexuality against states wishes. This sets a dangerous precedence that will have repercussions that will further affect the economic status, should they side in with LGBT.  

For the United States, the embassy bombings of Tanzania and Kenya in 1998, and the attack on the USS Cole in 2000 and then, under the Bush (43) administration, 9/11, was payment for meddling with the sovereign land of Israel.

The Bush (43) administration didn’t get the memo and negotiated a deal with Ariel Sharon to give up land for peace.

Under Ariel Sharon, the Israeli government gave its own people until August 15, 2005 to evacuate their own land and give it to the Palestinians. In January of 2006, judgment from God fell and Ariel Sharon was stricken with a stroke and ultimately died in January of 2014.

For the Untied States, judgment fell when Katrina hit on 29 August 2005.

Evacuation for evacuation.

After 9/11, the 20 billion dollar surplus was wipe out in a matter of months, even after the Bush administration gave the American people some of it’s money back.

Then in 2008, the stock market crash. And the downturn of the economy is still in effect even after 7 years.

In 2001, the stock market lost 7% of it’s value.

In 2008, the stock market lost 7% of it’s value, losing 1.2 trillion dollars. 

Seven, in Biblical numerology is perfection.

Hence, a perfect curse placed upon a nation bent on forcing Israel to establish a land for peace deal that is against the will of God established by God over 5775 years ago based on the Jewish lunar calendar.

With the current president, Barack Obama, the continued policy of two states living side by side is once again on the table.

In speech after speech, Obama continues to push Israel to give up land for peace.

The contention between Obama and Netanyahu is fierce because Netanyahu will not budge.

And based on “Scripture,” rightfully so.

So from 9-11-2001 seven years after this the recession of September 29, 2008.

Seven years from 2008 is 2015, what is on the horizon?

We don’t know and to speculate would be error, but knowing where we stand as a nation that’s on the brink of bypassing states rights to stand for marriage between one man and one woman, there is no question in my mind that we are in trouble. Especially if pastors and professed believers turn their backs on God.

Also, history has proven that when a nation has an anti Israel policy and has negotiated in the past for a Palestinian solution, the United States has always been the loser so far. Every nation that is against Israel has been cursed and every nation that has blessed Israel has been blessed.

After the United States, under the Truman administration backed Israel to become a nation in 1948, this nation received the benefits of Genesis 12:1-4. The greatest economic boom increased the prosperity of the United States. But beginning with the Carter administration, we see that negotiating land for peace proved to be a costly endeavor. The humiliation of Tehran with the siege on the embassy for 444 days and the oil embargo hurt the United States.

Some of you might be old enough to remember the long lines for gas and the economic disaster because of such policies.

In fact, no nation that has ever had an anti Israeli policy every wins.

This government is using a smoke and mirror issue. The homosexual agenda is being pushed in the Untied States to further deteriorate the moral backing this nation once had. This two pronged approach of an anti Israel policy and the sexual sin of the hour, homosexuality, is sins that we can never recover from if we fail to repent.

Furthermore, with blood on this nation’s hands as far as abortion is concerned, innocent blood has and will continue to cry out for vengeance.

The voice of the baby is in the blood just like Abel’s voice was in his blood.

And God will exact it upon this nation.

The sad part is that there’s been a major defection from the truth (apostasy).

Pastors all across the land still agree with president Obama’s position on same sex marriage in defiance of the Scriptures. I dare say that while I do not know with certainty that pastors support the president regarding Israel, I still wouldn’t want to be on the wrong side of God in either case.

Finally, every mishap that’s happening on the White House grounds and Washington is warning signals. The hedge of protection placed upon this nation by God is once again lifting. It is only a matter of time before something catastrophic will happen should we continue this perilous course to defy Almighty God.

Sadly, the votes in these presidential elections is an indication of our inability to properly discern the will of God. And it further indicates where professed believers stand on Biblical issues.

Your spot is exposed and you will reap what you sow.

The Obama dilemma is simple.

Change your policies against Israel, and you will not see what may happen. Change your policies for same sex marriage, and you may not see what may happen. Change your policies on abortion, and you may not see what may happen later this year, or thereafter.

Preaching Against Homosexuality And Other Sex Sins May Cost You

Dr. Michael Brown describes in unambiguous terms, by the Holy Spirit, that there may come a day when preaching against Secret And Overt Sexual Sins will land you “in jail.” It’s a reminder of what we are supposed to be doing as far as the gospel is concerned. The slumber that we are in is loud and clear as a person snoring like a buzz saw.

This article underscores the sleeping giant of the church that missed opportunity after opportunity to “Awake out of sleep.” 

Chance after chance has been given to us. Additionally, Dr. Brown had an interview with Jonathan Cahn, NYT best seller of The Harbinger. 

“The Mystery Of The Shemitah Unlocked” is regarding America under judgment. I won’t elaborate on the contents of the book but it appears that the Lord is putting two and two together. You would have to be a stoned to miss this.

Along with Perry Stone, Bill Cloud, Donald Perkins and many other end times prophetic preachers and teachers, there is growing evidence that America is in for a big wake up. Additionally, the end times is setting itself up and if we are not careful, we will miss the greatest event of all time to date.

The catching away of the church.

But if I know the church well enough, even when something (judgment) happens, the church will just roll over in bed as if God can’t do anything more.

You are sadly mistaken.

God did say that He would shake both heaven and earth (see Hebrews 12:25-29).

A nation isn’t judged just because of the sins it commits.

Peter warned us in 1 Peter 4:17 that “…judgment must begin at the house of God.”

Just like the nation of Israel was judged before those that did harm to Israel were judged, so must the church be judged in the same way before the world is judged.

However, as Paul said by the Holy Spirit in 1 Corinthians 11:31-32,

“If we would judge ourselves we would not be judged. But when we are judged, we are chastened by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.”

How do we judge ourselves?

When we repent and ask the Lord to forgive us. Then we seek not to be under the bondage of sin ever again. True deliverance is when you overcome sins guilt and power by the grace of God, in obedience to the Word of God. Simply put, you stop playing church and act like a believer in Jesus.

The barometer of a nation is determined by the church. If sin is evident in the church, the world believes that it’s immune to any form of judgment.

Why is this?

Because the church believes that it’s immune to the judgment of God.

With unbelievable impunity, we sin like it’s a common or regular thing to do inside the church. There is no humility so the Lord opens the flood gates to bring humiliation.

Great nations that have fallen in the past had an immunity or sense of arrogance because the people and leaders in the church are arrogant. It’s like we think that because we are great, we can do what we want.

Such pride is destined for destruction.

The purpose of judgment is to correct and warn the people to get right before God. When the church, after judgment, refuses to come to the Lord in repentance, humility, and mourning for its sins, God initiates consequential judgment.

To date, very few would dare bow a knee in repentance. It’s business as usual in the house of the Lord. I agree with Jonathan Cahn that revival can happen even when judgment falls. It’s in hopes that the church would return to the Lord, and that we would minister to the nation the pure gospel of God.

Sadly, there are many black leaders that are still under the spell of Obama. It’s even voiced that there is hatred towards Obama.

Quite the contrary.

There must be a love for God and His commandments. For we prove our love for Him when we keep His commandments (see John 14:15 and 1 John 5:1-5. The president has yet to display to believers in the United States that he loves the Lord with all his heart, soul, mind, and strength. A child of God never comes short in loving the Lord to the degree that a child of God hates sin on the same level as God does.

This very nation’s existence is in the balance.

The prophets of God are not speaking the word of the Lord. The pastors are protecting their current president by saying that there is hatred for Obama. Not realizing that the policies that the president is imposing is against the Word of God (see James 4:4). It won’t be long before preachers will be thrown in jail for standing up for what is right.

John the Baptist was an example of this when he stood against Herod and told him that he can’t have his brother’s wife. It cost John jail, and the losing of his life by way of beheading.

Doesn’t this sound similar somewhere in the Middle East?

Here in the United States, if the path towards abolishing the first amendment is becoming a very real, clear and present danger to preaching the gospel, it is certain that many preachers will change their tune and deny the Lord Jesus Christ. The world believes that the only way to silence God is to silence His true preachers. The Jews in the Old Testament know all to well that it doesn’t work. For God keeps sending more true preachers and prophets.

Nonetheless, if you are a preacher of the Lord, you have a job to do.

If you run in the face of adversity, it only reveals that you weren’t called to begin with. Or you were called but over time you changed your mind about preaching against sexual sins because you are neck deep in Secret Sexual Sins yourself.

Preaching against sin and the current administrations policies on homosexuality and abortion will cost you preaching engagements. The preacher friends will walk away from you. Your circle of close preacher friends will diminish. Like roaches, they will scatter from you because your stand against sin is real and theirs is a farce. You begin to see who your real friends are when they walk away from you because you do not support sin. Or you do not support a black president that hurled America head long into the pit of the sin of homosexuality and abortion that is currently in office. Or the opposite happens.

Because you walk “not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful;” nor dwell with hypocrite preachers, you walk away from them and it doesn’t mean you hate them. You hate trying to play like you agree with them knowing that they no longer agree with God and His Word.

As a result of living a convicted life, they refuse to be convicted and begin to make excuses.

Heart, Mind, Hands, & Eyes: Developing Courage & Fortitude To Stop Porn/Solo Sex LGBT

images-8James 1:14-15 from the Amplified Bible says, But every person is tempted when he is drawn away, enticed and baited by his own evil desire (lust, passions). Then the evil desire, when it has conceived, gives birth to sin, and sin, when it is fully matured, brings forth death.”

There were many times I felt that I would never break free.

Day after day, and night after night, the urges and impulses kept resurfacing as if my body and mind required it without thought. Breaking free was as hopeless as a sinner forever gives up on becoming righteous.

Hopeless is defined as “a feeling or causing despair or the complete loss or absence of hope.” In other words, a persons has self determined that there is absolutely no chance. He or she has abandoned all hope.

These tendencies usually lead to suicidal thoughts because the person wants to end it all. The pressure to quit by suicide increases and is then carried out. That’s because a person tearfully desires to be free of the feeling of hopelessness. That person is seeking relief from feeling bad about the things they do, or may have done.

Remorse and guilt, if not dealt with from the Word of God will lead a person to the cliff or the end of the rope……..around their neck.

This is the way the devil pushes people into eternity without Christ.

This is the way the mind of the individual works because they believe that they are not worthy of the love of God.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

As long as you are alive, there is a chance to break free of porn and masturbation.

Your case is not the only case out there. You and I are in a group that isn’t exclusive. Secret Sexual Sins is not exclusive.

Billions of men and women around the world struggle with porn and masturbation every moment of every day. The media pushes these bondages everyday because of the money.

Paul said, “The love of money is the root of all kinds of evil.” 1 Timothy 6:10a

It doesn’t take money to watch porn and masturbate because we have figured out a way to do it for free. The magazine stand, when men and women are walking outside going to work, lunch time. We look at television shows or movie theaters.

But when we want visual stimulation, then it is taken to another level with PPV, strip clubs, sports arenas, and other means of viewing. And do not think that church services are exempt. Certain women and men come with the deliberate intent to be seen. Or they quickly text for a romp.

Paul said in the book of Galatians 5:22, “But the fruit of the Spirit is……..self discipline.”

Discipline is about the heart attitude towards God.

Jesus said in John 14:15 “If you love Me, keep My commandments.”

All sin begins with the heart attitude towards God.

Proverbs 1:7 says, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, But fools despise wisdom and instruction.”

Before you can make a decision to stop using your hands and eyes, the heart and mind must come into alignment with God and His Word. The love of and for God must be paramount, principle, and tops above everything.

Jesus said in Matthew 22:37-38 “Jesus said to him, “ ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment.”

The heart of man has made up it’s mind to have no other lovers, including loving yourself in porn and masturbation. You have sold yourself out to love God above anything and everything else.

The moment you sell everything that you have to have God is the moment that you set the course to be faithful to God. Then the mind follows. Your spirit instructs your mind to not think about illicit sex and your spirit man refuses to “…make provision for the flesh to fulfill its lusts.” (See Romans 13:14).

If you do not sell out completely to love God above your urges and impulses, above your hands and sexual organs to satisfy your sexual needs apart from marriage, to completely abandon yourself to the grace of God, you will watch flesh to masturbate. You must reach a place in this life where you love God more than porn and masturbation. When you do, you will find complete love in the Lord. Everything that you’ve ever wanted was in Him and not in solo sex or in a warm body of the opposite, or same sex in illegal sex.

The chain to sin sexually was broken on the cross. The death nature of the devil has no power over you because of the life, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. All you need to do is make a decision to stop, then enter into that place of loving the Lord, your God above porn and masturbation. When you fall back in love with Jesus and fall out of love with sin, the Lord will replace the loss with abundant grace, love, and power to overcome.

It takes courage and fortitude to walk out of the open prison door to freedom.

Courage to turn your back on a very close friend is treason. Up till now, porn and masturbation was your friend.

I’ve heard of a few stories of betrayal between homosexuals. They’ve had enough of the sinful lifestyle and returned to normal lives. Some even got saved by the Lord. They’ve betrayed their lover because they found out that what they were in was a lie. The satisfaction they were seeking was no where to be found. Each day, they fooled or deceived themselves into thinking that this is what they were missing in life.

Only to find out that the misery increased.

It’s a very difficult thing to turn your back on something that you forced yourself to believe in.

But you needed to be true and you made a break from Secret and Overt Sexual Sins.

For those of you that depend upon porn and masturbation, you thought that they were your best friends. Only to conclude that after it was over, you are feeling so bad about yourself that you needed a way out.

That’s the way sin is. It never leaves a person free. It always leads to bondage. And it always look to increase the madness. It doesn’t get better but it gets worse every day.

Romans 14:17 says “…for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.”

There’s never a bad feeling after spending time in the presence of the Lord. There’s never a hangover or residual negative affects after feeding on the Word of His grace. The love for and of the Lord, when experienced, can keep the hands off of the sex organs, and the eyes from straying into the objectification of flesh.

The price Jesus paid to free us was a price no one is able to pay. But He paid the price and we can walk away free forever. This is a promise fulfilled when Jesus was raised from the dead. He lives forever as our Heavenly Intercessor. For He ever lives to make intercession for us. Jesus can step in and work within you to keep your hands and your eyes.

But you have to “present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto God which is your reasonable service.”

You have to “cleanse yourself from the filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.”

You have to “Lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word that is able to your souls.”

When your heart and mind makes the quality decision to love the Lord with ALL YOUR HEART, SOUL, MIND AND STRENGTH, your hands and eyes will be completely devoted to serve God according to Romans chapter 6. You will yield your members to righteousness.

This include your sexual organs.

Relapse will be a thing of the past when your love for God increases on a moment by moment basis. Living the crucified life demands that you “Deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow Jesus.”

You do not take up the cross just carry it around. You take up the cross to die on it.

As Paul said in Colossians 3:5, “Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. Because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience, in which you yourselves once walked when you lived in them.”

Are you willing to die to be free? And I do not mean that you go out and commit suicide. I am spiritually speaking here. But wait a minute. You said, “Crucify yourself.” Now I’m confused!!!!!”

To be in Christ means that you do not pay attention to temptation and sin anymore like a dead man can’t pay attention to the living. Dead to sin means that you do not respond to the call to sin. This is what Jesus and Paul meant. We ignore the urges and impulses while we respond to the Lord in obedience to His Word.

“Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not. How shall we that are dead to sin live any longer in it?” Romans 6:1-2.

Breaking The Porn/Masturbation Habit

images-8Porn and masturbation addiction is a major struggle. 

Could it ever be broken? 

Since the fall of Adam and Eve, the imaginations of the hearts of men is evil only continually. Just like the days of Noah in Genesis chapter 6.

For years, man has been addicted to the sex act. It doesn’t make sex evil unless sex is done in adultery, fornication, and homosexuality. While there is no Scripture prohibiting or permitting masturbation, if you are just about controlling or managing masturbation, you are not free. When you do not need masturbation, that’s when it is completely broken. That’s when you are “free indeed.”

Only the Son could make us free and only when we know the truth.

The only thing that has changed is the methods and means to transmit porn to forever hook men and women into the seemingly bottomless pit of the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life (see 1 John 2:15-17).

The top four areas of addictions is food, alcohol, drugs, and sex. While these are different categories, they are all, in some way, interconnected with each other. They can work independently or in combinations.

A man of God once said that “if you want to know the purpose of a product and how it works, you must go to the manual of the manufacturer.” Since God created man, we need to return to the “manual”  because as the man of God said, “Only the manufacturer knows in his mind how the product works.” If you want to know the product, you have to get into the mind of the manufacturer.”

Just like cars, electronic devices, machines, and other items, the product always comes with a manual. When there is something wrong with the product, we return to the manual to see what we have done wrong, or what we have failed to do, or to fix, or troubleshoot the problem with the product. This man of God I am quoting was the late Dr. Myles Monroe.

I first read his books on Purpose over 27 years or more ago. For the child of God, the “manual” is the Bible and the “manufacturer” is the Lord. Therefore, we are the product or, if you are a child of God, you are “…His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works.” If you are not saved, you can be when you repent of all sin and then declare with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead. 

We, as humans, do this every day when we run into difficulty in the operation of our computers. On the computer screens, we have four letters when we run into difficulty with something on our computer, the program, or the device.

HELP

We click that link and we scroll the index to locate the topic so we could get assistance.

Jeremiah 32:26 says  “Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying, “Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for Me?” Some of you believe that deliverance from porn and masturbation is impossible and you have confined yourselves to the prison of hopelessness.

There is a word from the Lord right here.  “Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh.” God knows all that there is to know about your flesh. While this passage is talking about drawing men to certain places, I believe it also has meaning about God knowing all that there is to our flesh.

Note Psalm 139:13-17 “For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well. My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them. How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them.”

God knows all about your flesh and what lurks within you that has yet to be crucified. When God created us, He did not create us in sin. Before the fall of Adam, we were in Adam, waiting to be born. It was God’s original intent to bring us forth in perfection.

Sin disrupted that plan but it never changed the will of God for man to live in the fear of the Lord to abstain from all forms of sexual sins.

That’s why He sent His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ to die for the sin of the world. To restore man back to His glory, plans, and purposes. In the manual is the instructions on how to break free of porn and masturbation.

Repent.

You may have already repented but you return to porn and masturbation.

When will you stop?

When you are serious about making critical adjustments in your day to day life.

You see, it’s in the small things that the enemy plans his traps. A magazine stand with salacious pictures. A woman that is dressed provocatively. Watching sexy TV commercials and women on the news shows and weather channels. Going to the beach or swimming pool. It’s these small things that get a man into a lot of trouble.

When Jesus said these words, He knew that it will take this to get the job done. Matthew 5:28 “But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.”

While it is easy to blame the external sources where it may lead to porn and masturbation, we must be true to ourselves and place the responsibility on ourselves. There is unchecked lust in our hearts. AND there is the habits that we’ve incorporated into our lives that facilitate and foster porn in our hearts and minds.

So Jesus gives a solution. Matthew 5:29-30 “If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell.”

What the Lord is advocating is that if the temptation to look and touch is too great, what are you willing to radically do to keep you from sinning? This is what prevents many men from breaking free.

Does this sound like you?

You thought that you’ve done enough to quit and then the urges and impulses remind you of the worldly pleasure that passes away. It’s only a matter of moments before you click or press the button on your remote. What are you willing to do to radically stop sin? Fasting and praying? Shutting off the TV, Internet, electronic devices? Chat rooms. Job related flirting with the opposite sex?

What are you willing to do to please the Lord Jesus, the One that died for you to set you free from sin? If you haven’t made every possible effort to get back into the Manual and live by it, then you have reached a place of hopelessness, but it isn’t over.

That’s because even in hopelessness on this side of eternity, there is hope from God. Breaking free is not a work of the flesh, but a work of the Holy Spirit as you are obedient to the Word of God. It’s always by grace, through faith, and that not of yourselves.

You cannot do it alone.

You need His help and the help of others that know well the pits and valleys of sexual bondage. Until you break free, this bondage is your god.

So let me ask you one more time.

What are you willing to do to radically stop porn and masturbation?

Bishop & Spring Breaks In The House Of Worship: A Manifestation As Revealed In Secret Sexual Sins II MOAB

images-7perf6.000x9.000.inddThis is another sign of the times. An allegedly sexual deviant Bishop is holding spring breaks……in the very church he is supposed to be ONLY ministering the Word and worshipping the Lord. Well, it is proof of what the Spirit of God showed me in a vision as recorded in my book Secret Sexual Sins II MOAB which could be secured at a reasonably affordable price here.

Just in case you think I am going crazy about Secret Sexual Sins, we need not go any further to underscore the overwhelming evidence as recorded in Charisma News which could be read here.
