Weigh It Before You Say It Part 1

Take a look at these questions:

  • Have you ever responded to a question someone has given you without first hearing the info?
  • How you ever given a response to someone out of your emotions without thinking?
  • How often have you spoken negatively about a situation knowing the full facts?
  • Do you make statements about things that have nothing to do with you?
  • Are there times where being quiet was the best policy but you said something anyway?
  • Did you ever say something about anyone and made the situation worse rather than better?
  • Have you ever made a promise to someone because of time constraints especially when you didn’t know you had the in the first place.

Weigh it before you say. Does anyone recall the statement: Jesus if you get me out of this situation this time, I promise I won’t do it again Jesus. I’ll start back going to Church again. Oh Hallelujah. In any case you wind up doing the same thing over again. A lot of times we’ll make statements like that and we won’t fulfill it. In Matthew it says that you have to give account of every word you speak.

Matthew 12:30-37

He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad. Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come. Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit. O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

How can you love My word and hate Me, and how can you hate the Word and love Me? You will not be forgiven for a LONG TIME if you blaspheme against the Holy Ghost. You say “Lord, I will do this,” and you put a stipulation on the Lord. “Lord I’ll do this…if You give me this.” Lord I will do this…tomorrow. Weigh it before you say it. A lot of times we blurt something out of our mouth that didn’t even make sense when we were thinking about it. We don’t think. You remember the moment when they got on your last nerves and you just blurted something out? When people make statements that they haven’t rationally dealt with before they speak. When you say something out of your mouth its a contract between you and that individual. Now, whether its a hate contract, loving contract, disposition of anger, or whatever the case may be, when you say it out of your mouth. That’s a binding contract. “I can’t stand your guts!” Have you ever seen their guts? Have you ever though about what you said before you said it? Did you know that most people say things out of emotion more than reason and reality? Because of that fact, they get caught in a present tense disaster. How many know what love at first sight is? When you hear that, your eyes get really big and swell, arrows are flying, hearts are popping. That’s not reality. You can admire someone at first sight, but you can’t be in love at first sight, because you don’t know them. So why are people always saying I love you? Because they want something? The mindset of people is to do one thing, they want to utilize you for whatever reason, they say I love you because its a submissive word. Love bears all, believes all, love hopes all things, endures all things love never fails…Most say I love you because they want to bring you down to their knees to be submissive to them. “If you love me, then you’ll do whatever I say.” Why do people want people to love them? Think about it. People want love because they want acceptance. I was a nerd in school, with a pocket protector. But I was never one to looks for the gang or look for someone to accept me, because I couldn’t be anyone but me.

James 1: 15-24

Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.Do not err, my beloved brethren. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures. Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God. Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.

“James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.” What someone says about you doesn’t make it so. What they say doesn’t mean anything. They need a crowd to turn and say people about you to convince you that you are no good. You are fearfully and wonderfully made. Its when you think that you aren’t fearfully and wonderfully made. Forgive yourself for talking about yourself. Its when we get in the mirror and talk about ourselves. “Look at you!” Why do we do that to ourselves. No one’s said a thing to us, but we’ve created a whole scenario about ourselves. What people say about you means nothing. God made a definite statement of who you are and what you are. So what comes out of your mouth can hinder you. Understand, we condemn ourselves more than the world does, and we abide with what we say about ourselves. Isn’t that true? Are you ready to commit to something?

[At this point in the service, the Holy Ghost moved upon the room, and Pastor Catron spoke into the lives of those present].

Case of the Missing Faith

Matthew 8:5-13

And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him, And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.  And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him. The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed. For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven. But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour.

This man of the Roman army, a leader of the Roman army came to Him and said “My servant…” One thing we have to understand is that he cared about those under his authority, under his leadership. Jesus marveled. Why did He marvel? When the Centurion said he tells the one to go and he goes, when he tells the one to sit down, he sits down. Why are the Children of God so disobedient? When you were at school and your teacher told you to be quiet, you sat down and were quiet. At your job, the boss tells you go pick up that thing and bring it over here and put this together. You don’t look at him and say why. If you do, you won’t have a job long. If you challenge the one in authority, he can ask you why are you here? “I’m here because I need the money and have nothing else to do.” So he will ask, didn’t you sign some papers saying you will abide by the rules of this company? The point is, when God gives us authority, we have to obey His authority. We want people to do what we say, but we won’t do what they say. Can you imagine the sight of Christ saying that He’d not found so great faith in Israel, after having been teaching to His disciples on faith? The Centurion had great faith in Jesus Who commands the air, the spirits. The Centurion believed that Jesus authority was sure. He had enough faith in Jesus that He had authority. He knew that when Jesus said it, it would be done. He knew that all power was in Christ hands. He had not found one, no not even in Israel as faithful. Can He say that to you today? The Children of the Kingdom will be cast out..those who walk around thinking they are Christians when they aren’t. Because the servants boss had faith, the results went to the servant. It wasn’t about the servants boss, but about God because of the Centurions faith.

Do we have faith like that today? Or do we need something to crank us up? So if you’re going through something, could it be you’re the one going through, and its waiting on you?

Matthew 8:14-16

And when Jesus was come into Peter’s house, he saw his wife’s mother laid, and sick of a fever. And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them. When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick:

God was showing His authority over sickness. Some people are sick because they want to be sick. If you serve a God who can heal, why are you sick? We sometimes use sickness as a crutch. Has your salvation become a crutch so that people will look at you and praise you instead of God? Sometimes things may not seem so clear as to where we are in Him. We’ll do things because we’re not sure where He is or where we are, to test our faith to see if Christ will be there to help us out. We’ll stretch the limit, come almost there to only find out that maybe He’s not really watching me right now…”God are you there?” Sometimes things might not seem so clear where we are in Him, even if we may have strayed away from salvation, a little off mark from the high calling of salvation.

What do you tell children when crossing the street? You stop, look both ways and listen. Have we done that in our lives with our sin, and asked how it will affect our walk in Christ, affect my Salvation? Do you know its a personal walk, not a public one? You don’t need anyone poisoning your walk by their views or understanding. Words are powerful, and even more so to the feeble-minded. It’s important that you get the right info the right way and in all you’re getting get an understanding. It’s important that we stop look and listen for the Breath of God. People breathing down our neck, talking to about everything under the sun except the Son. Misery loves company, and company has friends. He has been exhaling in our lives, but we continue doing what we’re doing in hope that He understands. We’ve used that term before “He understands me. We’re that tight.” He understands what we are doing, walking by sight and kind of by faith. At one time or another we’ve done that. The Bible tells us we walk by faith and not by sight. But most of us blend it: a little bit of sight a little bit of faith. We comfortably do that. When your mind is walking by sight, then your mind is influenced around you, you are walking by others. When they are jacked up, you’re jacked up. Sometimes we allow things, emotions and situations to dominate our walk. In most cases we begin to second guess ourselves and our faith begins to wean, leading to faithlessness.

 

Hebrews 11:1-6

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good report. Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh. By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

 

Everywhere you see faith in these passages, substitute for “complete trust.”

Have you ever gone to someone who you know can’t help you? Most of the time we go to someone who can help. You have faith that they can do what you know can be done. If you can’t trust in anybody, then you’ll not go to the “body,” but go to another body to help you take care of your body! We’re sick because we want to be sick, laid up, stressed out, and prostrate before everyone because we get attention. We’re sick because we want attention. What about those who really are sick? Where is their faith? The case of the missing faith. If you have the faith of a grain of a mustard seed…

I have a concept of what faith is: trusting in something that you don’t have an idea or clue about, because you have complete trust. You exhibit and use complete trust everyday. When you get out of your bed do you step on a cloud or the floor? You trust that the floor is going to hold you. You don’t have to think about it because you trust it completely. This is how it should be with Jesus. We don’t have to think about Him because we know He is faithful. This is what faith is, not having to worry about your salvation. Not arrogantly, but not having to worry about if you are going to be healed, or going back with Him. Why do we read the Word of God? Because we completely trust in it. Do you completely trust God? Then why are you limping? By His stripes you are healed. Our complete trust is conditional. What we don’t want to accept is we’ve given Him conditions for our life, when He never gave us conditions. How many love the Lord? We love Him on conditions and completely trust Him on conditions. Have we lost our hope? Or more than that, have we quietly lost our hope in Christ Jesus? Maybe a dream we’ve had that didn’t come to pass or a relationship that did go the way you planned and you quietly blamed Jesus because it didn’t come to fruition. And now you sit in your pity, patty party, blaming yourself and Jesus too, instead of standing on your most holy faith and asking the Lord to forgive you and forgive yourself. Hope lost. You have no faith when hope is lost. Without faith you can’t please God. Hopelessness sets into you.

In conclusion, we can’t allow our self pity to rule or ruin our walk in Christ Jesus.

Romans 12:1-16

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another. Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith; Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching; Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness. Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer; Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality. Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not. Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.

 

5 Points to remember:

1 Do not lean-to your own understanding, Proverbs 3:5-6

2 Change the way you have been thinking from a selfish worldy mind to a Christ Jesus mind, Romans 12:2-4

3 Don’t allow things or your situations to dictate your walk, Ephesians 4:14-16

4 Without faith you cannot please God, Hebrews 11:6

5 You can do all things through Christ, Philippians 4:13

Do You Just like to Repeat or Do you Need to be Set Free, Part 1

How many times did you fall for the same type of man or woman and saw it coming? Wait for it. They say I love you you go…wait for it…wait for it….and then boom after you say it and you’re locked and you’re back to the same problem you had in your previous relationship. You start seeing the same type of girl or guy. Then you start saying the same things over again: “That man or that woman is no good, there is no good in them.” Were they really or is it just you? Being locked back in the same things of the past recurring in your mind and life. Lets go a little deeper.

When Jesus said forgive your brother, forgive your sister…and you asked Him why? You asked God why. Our hearts fall immediately back to what they’ve done to us. So now, there’s a time going on. Now you have frozen time to take time out to go back in the past of an event that happened years ago, bringing it from the past to the present. You stopped God working on you so you can take Him back to the past, so He could see what was bothering you…what was said that was bothering you. You put God on pause, and take Him back, so that we can do what? Reminisce, complain; when Jesus said just to forgive your brother. Could it be something else more than what they did that you are latching to that your are reminiscing over? Could it be something that is in you; something that has locked itself in you that you cannot get over? Is it that little thing that sits in the corner of your mind that tells you, “They owe you…until they fix that little thing, I cannot see anything.” You can’t get over that past. You must remember, those who continue to live in their past it will become your future.

People are doing the exact same things over and over again falling for the same statement, phrase an action over and over again. Could it be a generational curse, or could it be that you don’t know how to let go? “Well I’m like this because it was my momma, it was my daddy. I treat you the way I treat you because they did not treat me right. Its your fault that I’m smacking this person to death.” But its not their fault. Its the sin in me that makes me do the things in me, its the sin in me. They don’t understand that the God in you wouldn’t make you do what you do to your sister, mother, friend, father….its not the God in you, its the sin in you. Do you like to repeat? We always get upset with ourselves, some of us like to abuse ourselves because we can’t get over us, not remembering that we’re stronger than the thing, smarter than the thing, not remembering that it was things that happened in the past. Now our past has become our future. That is why we fall for the same old antics and statements, gimmicks and movements over and over again, because the first time it happened we didn’t get it straight and forgive ourselves.

Do you know why its so important for a woman to wait until she gets married before sleeping with anyone? When she does, what’s in her, she shares her soul. It’s when you have relations when he injects inside of you a seed of life, your body responds with an egg. Every egg that comes out of your body needs to be fertilized, and given an identity. So its in there floating around looking for “who shall I be?” When God places a soul in that body, that soul becomes a living breathing creature that exists because of the Will of God, not man. So that woman begins to nurture that seed that has been given to her by that man. A woman’s egg is just like a chicken’s egg which has no life. Once that one little sperm gets inside of the egg, it locks the door, turning the egg into a hard shell that the sperm inside has the only key to. That woman is to keep herself wholly until God has sent her a man. It’s he who finds himself a wife finds a good thing. But the wife has be ready to receive the identity. You don’t go shooting your junk everywhere, hoping that it lands somewhere. You don’t shoot your seed at anything, because you’ll get what you ask for. A man putting his identity out is like putting your seal of who you are on just anything. Young men think that because they can flip it out and flip it right, that makes you a man. No, that makes you stupid. Every woman’s womb is not for every man. That is telling me that my sperm is sacred. Your egg is sacred.

Men are told in the back of their minds that’s what you do, you put your seed in anything. As a man’s seed enters the egg, it releases life and that more abundantly, releases identity, becoming a DNA increaser, forming life; an identity. At that moment that woman’s body becomes that man’s body. She can’t live without him. She might not say it, but she shows it. That man is not sealed, a man puts it out, a woman receives it. She changes chemically to receive it. He doesn’t have any connection to her chemically, but she has connection to him chemically. That is why some women can never get along with any other man except the one that…no matter how he treated her. The man has no chemical connection, just a physical one, that is why its so easy for him to release freely with another woman. He’s selling himself for free, not realizing that he’s giving his identity away to something he has no connection with. She feels that he loves her enough to release his seed inside of her, and to be bound to her. If he’s not bound to you mentally, he’s not bound to you physically. That is why when a man lies with a woman he’s not planning on being with, he will rarely look her in the eye or kiss her, but do everything below the neckline. The gateway to the soul is the eyes, that is why he does not look at her. He wants to release his seed for a moment of pleasure, for a feeling, she releases herself for a connection. That is why she takes it hard when he walks out the door. Its serious.

That is the reason that we can’t do what the Lord wants us to because we have holes inside of us. The Lord wants you fully, so when He releases the Holy Ghost inside of you, it changes…just as though that man who releases inside of you created in you an identity, Christ is trying to create an identity in you of Him. This is the problem. We repeat the things we do in life with relationship because we have not yet come into the understanding that we’re more than conquers. A woman’s body and eggs are all precious even though they have not life. You have an egg that stays warm and moist and ready. When you go through your cycle, it goes “ain’t no good.” During your cycle, you spew unwanted eggs and are tossed away. When a man does not ejaculate, his body absorbs the life back inside, he keeps it. A man does not have a cycle, because he keeps his identity.

Most men are not aware that they bring life to the relationship. That is why a woman can’t have a relationship with another woman, because she does not bring life. Its like rubbing two eggs together; do you get another egg? No. A man is not even aware of the authority and power in his loins. It’s about releasing in you a woman who is an incubator, a provider of the eggs. When her body chemically changes, before a woman has sexual intercourse with a man her body smells like roses. After she has been intimate with that man, his chemicals are mixing with his chemicals. And now she does not smell like a beautiful bouquet of roses. That is why they do foreplay, to try to get her to accept whatever he is try to do. Her body says he is chemically like this. It is the same way when God releases the Holy Ghost inside of you. It changes you. Satan can’t get in anymore like he use to. So Satan says he has to find another way in. The Lord has changed the combination, I can’t get in. Let me go back in the past, when you use to love this, so Satan goes “Let me do this…” So he brings people from your past that your bound by, and they come into your life straight forward saying “Do you remember what we use to do?” To insight in you a feeling, and you go back to that moment when that situation happened. Satan can’t get in to you like he use to, so he wants you to repeat; he doesn’t want you to be free. So you prepare yourself to receive what he has for you. Isn’t this what we do with God? Jesus has everything that we need. But we can’t get with Jesus because we keep comparing what He has to what Satan is doing. We can’t build a good relationship with our Lord and Saviour Jesus because we still concern with what Satan did to us, enjoy it, bask in it. But the Lord says be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind.

 

Romans 7:20-25

Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

 

What is it saying? Do you like to repeat or do you want to be free? What are generational curses? What we just read. You know my sister Barbra, she does the same things. She’ll listen to the guy, and then she’ll sleep with him after 2 minutes. After you’ve slept with so many of them, you’ll never get the one who is for you because all the rest of them have put so many codes on your butt, that nobody can get in. The right one has to break the 1st code, the next code, and so on. The hardest one you have to break is the 1st one.

Juanita Bynum wrote a book called “No More Sheets.” She said she had so many men back and forth in her bed, she didn’t know whether she was coming or going. If the guy that comes after you who really loves you is not a locksmith, he won’t get anything, but the remnants of all those other guys, not the real you. You’ll say, “he doesn’t understand me,” no because you’re locked up. Why is it so important that you don’t randomly sleep with guys? Because they can lock your soul up so much that you can’t even reach Christ. Jesus doesn’t care if you’ve had 100 guys, if you ask “Lord make me whole again,” He will make you fresh and clean to have the right person. He flushes all that mess out of you, and now your head is straight. When you see a guy you might fall in love with, he’ll look at your differently and say “she is fresh.” When you get together, it will be like the very first time. The point is, He will make you new again. While you are in your new state, look upon Me I am your husband now, I’m your friend, confidant and companion. When someone is good enough to get My girl, I’ll release her to him because I already know that she is fresh, and she has the Holy Ghost who is leading and guiding her. For a woman if the inside is not clean, ain’t nothing gonna happen down below in the oven. Satan knows that. That is because he goes after the woman on the inside, mentally, and on the outside physically with men.

 

Matthew 15:11

Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.

 

There is nothing goes into a womb-man that defiles her, it’s what comes out of the womb-man that defiles her. Because out of the mouth flows the abundance of the heart. So if I eat cucumbers and candies and oranges and grapes and bananas, that won’t defile me. It is whatever I put into my soul that will defile me. So when that man has slept with you and placed part of his soul in you, its going to come out of your mouth. Women if you haven’t known a man, don’t. If you’ve known a man and God has made you new, don’t go back again. God will send you a man. I don’t care how the urges come, don’t put yourself in that situation to cause an urge. Make sure you fall in love with Jesus first before you get into a relationship. God wants us to understand that once He has you, and allows you to keep you, He won’t let anyone come into your life again who will destroy your physiology and lock everyone else out, except those demons that locked themselves in. Wait on the Lord. If you wait on Him, when He gives you that person, it won’t be buttercups and lollipops all the time, you will have stormy days. That is because two are trying to become one. So you ride the storm. We just have to understand that we must not worry about when he is coming but worry how God is going to meet us next.

It’s an awesome thing to wait. The Lord never forgets. Otherwise you’re bound to repeat over and over again.

Your Mind is not FIFO in this World, or is it?

FIFO- First In First Out

It’s dealing with your mind. The perception stores the knowledge of memories. memories are events of the past we tend to hold onto in the future. What does “mind” mean? To distinguish from a sensation. Your mind and thought pattern is more than a sensation, it is the creative understanding. The older generation would get up there and sing “My mind, my mind, my mind is gone.” Well the older generations was expressing that their mind was gone in Jesus. The terminology and words of the past have been corrupted; the thoughts the memory patterns of the past have re-determined the meaning. They are doing it to Christ in our minds and hearts. The song says “When I think of His goodness and all He’s done for me, my soul cries out hallelujah, thank you for saving me.” They’ve turned the words around and have said “when I think of what He has done for me, my spirit cries out, thank you for saving me.” They have exited out Jesus, exited out the in filling of the Holy Ghost…They don’t want you to know the value of believing in Christ.

Like everything else in your life there is always someone better and faster than you are. A lot of times we think in our minds that “we have this…I’ve got this.” The first information you receive from people interests you, the second part captures you, the third marks you, and the fourth part locks you. Your locked into that person and the information. The point is this, first in first out (FIFO). The first information that people try to give captivates you, they pull you in closer, then they lock you down into what they want you to do. You have to be careful what you listen from them, because that will come out in you. If someone puts filth inside of you, the first thing that will come out of your mouth will be filthy. They may mean well, but do they mean well? People talk about things that they like talking about. To captivate you in a subject in your thoughts, to captivate you period brings you into their world, and they instruct you on how to operate and be in their world. The first thing that comes into you is them and their emotions. The second thing when you’ve been captivated by them is it becomes alive in you. Then you begin to add-on to and relate to that story, so when you explain to someone else that story, you’ll be surprised how much detail you’ll retain. FIFO. So when we go and tell someone something, its a conglomerate of what they said and also what we think. People add their emotions to stories.

When you put in XYZ on a computer, it will give you the result of XYZ. If you put in KGX, then the computer will put out that the information has been corrupted because its not XYZ. When you receive the Word of God, it gets inside of you. If you tell someone else about the Word of God, and you aren’t right…you aren’t right…then the data that you got will not be right, but it will look close. Some of us will say “It will do…its in the area.” If I’m going to your house and you live on block 44 and I’m on black 56, is that your house? FIFO. Some of us has been corrupted with data that should not have been a part. Unusually it’s based on our lifestyle. Corruptions corrupt you absolutely and thoroughly. It corrupts your walk, your talk, even your daily regular experiences. Sometimes Christians walk around being a most corrupted mess you want to see. But they know how to go “Halle, Halle, Hallujah.” How do you fix a computer that has been corrupted? You wipe it clean with a magnet. There is no computer out there that cannot be repaired because if man made it, man can fix it. There is no human being out that God can’t fix, because God made it and He can fix it. If you find that you have viruses in you, you can’t just keep going on. If a virus is in your phone, can you still make phone calls? The corruption of a virus on your software does not corrupt the hardware. When you’re corrupt, it doesn’t corrupt your body, it corrupts your mind and soul. The spirit inside of every man who God gave is a set of instructions for man, just as software is the set of instructions for a computer. God can wipe the corrupt mess from you, but you have to first bring it get fixed.

How many of you examine what comes into your mind? Whether it’s through music or what people say to you. Filters. Filters are ok as long as they are clean. If it isn’t’ clean you will re-circulate the same mess over and over again. If your screen/filter has bacteria and has never been cleaned out, something will slip though and get to you, and make you sick. In us, there is a virus that writes a program in us that prevents us from reaching Christ. By not giving you all the information, that makes you even worse than if you had not information. That will make you dangerous. If you tell a child not to touch a fire and go no further to explain why, what will they do? They will touch it because they want to know why. Not giving you the full information corrupts you totally. What every man or woman allows to invade their thoughts no matter what form it is received in, it makes you a slave to it. Whatever you allow to come inside you whether good or bad, makes you a slave to it. In this world, it’s all bad. So you are a slave to the things around you. Being corrupted from the inside is the worst thing. FIFO. Its terrible when you’re molded with mess. You are like a Bouncing Betty Mine when you go off. Sound has no directional focus, its audible everywhere. So when your run your mouth, it goes everywhere. We corrupt the information that comes in us, and we corrupt it even more when we send it out.

Matthew 15:1-11

Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying, Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread. But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition? For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death. But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition. Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying, This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand: Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.

That means they could have gotten the right information, and when it came out it could have been corrupted. This chapter is about creating an inner purity so that when you receive something, it comes out the same way. There should be no disturbance of that force. The same thing that went in you should come out the same. Christ said I want you all to speak the same thing.

1 Corinthians 1:10-15

Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul? I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius; Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name.

No speak your own mind, speak what’s in you? Is that what this says? No! The same mind, joined together in the same mind, and the same judgement. Are we suppose to do that? Is Christ divided? The bible says speak the same thing. At AOCM we repair software that was originally given to the people. So we have to be on our p’s and q’s. Because there are some broken folks out there, because they want to be repaired. Jesus said I am God and I change not. The same as I was in the beginning, the same shall I be today. That is a discussion that takes place in the Church today. What are you teaching about, at this Church? I’m teaching about how you can put a hat on. What are you teaching about at that Church? I’m teaching about how you can put your shoes on. What are you teaching about at this Church? I’m teaching about how you can put your hat and shoes on and get a new wardrobe. What does the Word say? We are not in unity in the church. At the end of the day we’re not doing our will we’re doing His, so if we corrupt His will for our lives, then what are we doing?

The Lord needs you in ministry. But take the time to clean your filter so you won’t spread corrupt mess. Fix you before you try to fix someone else. Be in the world but not of the world. What does that mean? So they legalized marijuana, does that mean you use it? No. Be in the world but not of the world.

Building Bridges Back

What I’m about to talk about today is the worship movement and the worship rock stars. One song comes to mind, the lyrics g something like this “Spirit of the living God we are waiting on you.” That Basically is repeated over and over, or “My to Lord,” but never mention the name of Jesus, and I have never seen so many musicians before when so many ministries can’t find any musicians for any service. For the musicians, their services go anywhere from $500 to $1500. How come?
The International House of prayer. All they do is play music, they never speak the Word. Its the Word that breaks the yoke, its not the music. Because He has angels in heaven worshiping 24/7. He doesn’t need us to do that. So what does this have to do with anything?
In 1963, 1964, there was a movement called the Flower Children; the Volkswagen Beetles with the flowers painted on them. During that era, they had a zen of worship. They would go around and lifted arms, hands to the heavens, eyes close, and they would go into some sort of spiritual high. Throughout the 60’s, Satan used that because they got involved with weed, opium etc. Why is it so important? Everyone can’t be saved in the world today and there is still all sin. So when you see on TV all the different groups that come up. International House Of Prayer, as far as I know there is no Pastor, they are just musicians playing music. Out of those musicians come worship rock stars, in so much that they are effecting the old mainliner, Amy Grant. She was never a worship singer.
The Lord put it in my head and heart that its a worship movement. Satan is using the same tactics. Here are thousands of kids on campus, concerts, mega churches doing this raising their hands. A Pastor doesn’t even come out. They begin to perform. I didn’t know it was a concert. Its suppose to be a service. If you don’t believe it just watch yourself. There is a movement taking place in the Christian Church that Satan has taken place to diffuse the Church. Everyone has their arms up, eyes close, music hasn’t even started. Some may say, there is nothing wrong with that. But where is your heart? Do they love the Lord so much that they found their nirvana. You can’t get a musician to play for anyone in the Church, but those at International House of Prayer play for 2 hours straight.
Its a move of Satan to lull away the people. All the songs I’ve heard are “Lord, He is mine,” or “Waiting for Your Spirit.” What does that mean? If you were a sinner coming into that place would you fit in? Why, because they refuse to tell a name of whom they are saying. They are giving you a generic face of worship. You know how many young people specifically are falling for it? You know why? I want to believe. There can be no restoration unless the word of God does it first. “He is wonderful,” yes He’s wonderful. Who is He? I know who I serve and I know who not to serve. You may not like me after this, but do you want to know the truth, or do you want me to give you a lie?
If worship brings people through the door and they don’t know who they worship, how would they know the Lord loves you? I build a relationship so I get a chance to know you, and to know you I love you, and you’ll say automatically what can I do Lord. By their fruit you shall know them. Satan has drawn musicians with money where you can play what you want. He has no respect for nothing that God has. That corrupt keyboard player is over your praise and worship music, and it only takes one bad apple to spoil the bunch. There are musician with piercing in their ears, lips, and noise, leading people in prayer. Who are they leading you to? They are leading you to Satan, or a demon that he is controlling. That was a concern of mine. When you are in public, a lot of times people express themselves with hair color, hair highlights. Shave your hair on one side and the hair is growing long on the other side? Just my opinion. The Bible says that a woman’s beauty is her hair. If its her hair, then when you destroy your hair with chemicals, what have you told the Lord? I don’t like how you created me. Are you not satisfied with what God has made? Typically no, so we try to correct what God has done. Now man has put so many chemicals in the air, water and food, but you don’t have to give them any help.
Sometime building bridges back to a place where you can have peace of mind, even finding love again is a God sent time. But finding again how to love yourself once more is a blessing from Jesus and through Him the Agape love will set upon your heart and soul and it will bring you back to His arms to reignite the love you once had when you first fell in love with Him.
Do you know the Lord wants to hold you, and speak loving words to you, that He wants to be in your life fully? But something has destroyed the bridge in your life. We have been side tracked by so many things, and these are the things externally, and that’s not even talking about us. When you combine the external and internal, we don’t know how to get back to God. You get on your knees and say “God,” but do you know He is hearing you? Why do you pray? For things to get better? We pray so we can talk to a higher authority than us. Has anyone seen God at anytime? The point is, is no man has seen God at anytime and is still in existence today. So we pray to who? God? Does He have a name? Who died for you? Jesus Christ. He died for us so why don’t we call Him by His name? “God” is a name we used when we didn’t know Him. His name is Jesus. The Son of most high, the Son of the living God. God deserves worship, but not just any kind of worship. How can you know to give Him what’s in your heart? Because your heart is you, and your heart is your soul.
How do you build a bridge to get back to when you first fell in love with Him? The whole point is this, the song use to say “Take me back, take me back where I first received you. Its been so long.” Do you have that one to one like you want to have with God? Do you have that Elijah type connection? We don’t have that but we desire it. Why are we not building bridges to that? We’re building bridges to our next hair appointment, where am I going to eat next, where am I going to have fun next, what am I going to do next. We build bridges to all the wrong things, but we should be building back to him? How do you build a bridge? A little at a time. Building a bridge is like putting a puzzle together. So how do we do that? By reconnecting. A lamp can’t light unless it has a plug and electricity. Just as the light bulb becomes lit, it has to be connect to the source. Holy Ghost can’t move unless your connected to the source. It needs to be connected, you need to be connected to the Source before you can move in Him. When you’re connected the praises go up and the blessing come down.
John 15:7
I can give God praise when I go through, because my praise is in His name. I know His name. Jesus. If He is not, where is your is your praise going? To the prince of the power of the air, Satan. So when your prayers go up, Satan intervenes with what you don’t need. The only one who can ever wrap you up in love is Jesus. Do y’all know he loves you when you lie, when your thoughts are evil. He goes that is my love. The mess that we do and He still loves us. Do you remember your first love? They left a lasting impression that still if you call their name out today those thoughts come back. Amen? You must desire the sincere milk of the word before you go into communication with God, before you can sup with Him. God, Christ is a spirit, those who must worship mus worship in spirit and truth.
1 Peter 2:2-5

As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious. To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

Its all about Jesus. If God tells you you have to go through Jesus then go. God did not die for you, but Jesus did. 
Psalm 27:4-7

One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple. For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock. And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the Lord. Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.

 

Set me on a hard sturdy foundation in Him, so I cannot be moved. If your foundation is correct, no one can push you off of it. It’s when your foundation is shaky. God will make sure your foundation is sure. One thing I want to do is be with You lord. Lord whatever You have I want. I don’t need to follow after a group of people. Lord don’t ever leave my situation because if You leave it I’m lost. How many would have been dead if it wasn’t for the grace of God? You might not have made it past birth. Its not by chance there is a reason for everything. Its because He loves you so much. Its an awesome thing to stand in the reverence of a real God.
Revelation 2:1-5

Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks; I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars: And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name’s sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted. Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.

The only way you can leave your first love is when your bridge has been destroyed. If it has been damaged because of some other external thing. Some of us are Christians that are burned in. We still have the remnant of what it use to be like, being connected. There are people walking around with a ghosting of what it use to be like, I have an impression, so I’m going on the imprint that has been placed on me. I’m operating under the imprint, but you’re not connected to the Source. If I’m not connected to the Source am I getting anything new? No. So you go around with a false sense of salvation, and if anyone challenges it you combat with a burned in image. We have to reconnect back to the Source, and stop living the past. We’re living with a past anointing. How long halt you between 2 opinions? If God be God, why are you not serving Him? Does He need to serve you? Some like to think He’s a genie in a bottle. He’s not like that. You need to reconnect back to him. If you feel tired spiritually, you feel disconnected, then you need to be reconnected to the source. Rebuild your connection back so He can revive, restore, renew His anointing in your life. Do you like old anointing? Its like old bread. Do you like old bread? We want freshness. Let get back to building Bridges back in our life and in our walk in Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour.
1 Peter 1:15-25
But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear: Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God. Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.
People are still carrying along things that were in the past, and they became traditions. What’s in the past stays in the past. It got carried from this son or daughter or that son or daughter. If the teaching of the Lord got lost back in the 1920s, what would we have today? A mess. Jackedupness.
Romans 5:6-10
For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
Jesus is the One who died, not God. His Son died for you and that is the only Way to be reconciled back to God. Most people say I have the Spirit of God, its all inside me, the Spirit of God. But you don’t have the Holy Ghost. Without the Holy Ghost you have no power, and without power you can’t do the work of God. Coming against a demon you have no power.
Psalm 103:14-22

For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust. As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more. But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children’s children; To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them. The Lord hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all. Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word. Bless ye the Lord, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure. Bless the Lord, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the Lord, O my soul.

Philippians 2:1-5, 2:12-16

2 If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. Do all things without murmurings and disputings: That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.

Its important that we get the point that we be like-minded. I can’t have you shooting off the mouth here and there, and reports come back that corrupt words have come out of you. That shows disorganization not with the ministry, but the walk of that person. We all have to speak the same thing. If God says you have to be baptized what does that mean? Get baptized. If the Word of God says you must be, you have to be filled with the Holy Ghost, then be filled with the Holy Ghost. If you have this innocent person that says what must I do to be saved, and we are all not like-minded, how is that soul going to receive anything cohesive? The blood of that soul is on your hands. Use the Word of God as your back up. Be careful what you say. If you have any questions go to the Word. Don’t ever try to battle with the Word.
