What is the Way to Jesus Heart?

Most of us who love our Lord Yah’shua (Jesus) try in some way to get closer to Jesus or please Him in some way. However, sometimes we reach a point in our walk where we have hit a wall or come to a precipice in communicating with Him, feeling inadequate and challenged or a bit unsure about whether or not we’re going in the right way or doing the right thing in trying to please Yah’shua (Jesus). Some have tried to please His heart by going with how they feel. This is based on their emotional equilibrium and mental instability in their own personal life. We try to reach out to Christ the way we want to reach out to people, equating Him as we would a human being. But God is a Spirit and those who worship Him or communicate with Him must do so in spirit and truth. We’ve tried to reach out to Him through our personal experience with previous relationships. These relationships may have contained elements of anger hurt or pain; We base our emotions and feelings on how others receive us. We try to worship Christ in the same mindset. Sometimes it leaves us in frustration because we’re not sure if He hears us. Maybe you’re talking through pain, instead of love. We’ll look at the aspect that God is a Spirit and you must worship in spirit and truth and that is how we communicate. But I’m going through. I’m an emotional wreck. Sometimes we get very “extra,” when we talk to the Lord. Instead of just coming to one point in your life where you say, just shut up! You just go on and on and on. We want a connection with our Lord and Saviour that will be unbroken, because He is the only one who can see us in that place where no one else sees. Its usually your mind. No one else can see your mind. You know He can because you feel someone dealing with you spiritually. You ask, there must be a God.

The point is that we try to reach God without really reaching Him. We think we’ve reached Him, but we do so with the wrong number. Have you ever dialed a number that was wrong? Sometimes we do that with Christ. Who are we praying to? If we communicate with Christ, how are we communicating to Him? How do we alert Him that we want to get closer to Him? When do you call on the name of Jesus? When you don’t have money, or are sick, or when someone has taken your phone. We need to know one thing: He’s just a prayer away. Its not just a prayer away. You don’t have to pray to Him to talk to Him. Some people say we have get on our knees and talk to Him. We can talk to Him in any way, but the one thing that we don’t do is that we aren’t communicating with Him. We talk to Him, but He doesn’t communicate to you, because you’re talking to Him. You don’t pick up what their heart is because you’re talking. We dump on the Lord, we upload to Him all the junk and everything and then we feel relieved. Then we leave Him and go on, not even waiting for Him to say anything. We’re so use to social media where we upload. But the Lord doesn’t have a feed like there is on social media. When you go to the Lord, He will hear you if you are down. A lot of us will scream as though He’s can’t hear us. The point is that we try to get close to Him sometimes the right way, but its the wrong way because we used it in the past and thought it worked. We can’t talk to Him like we do our mother, brother, sister or father. Why? They don’t know you like He knows you. So come to Him real, because you can’t hide anything from Him. Be honest with Him and real with Him. Don’t come with a pretend mind, telling Him something, but secretly withholding something else.

This might be stranger then fiction. Maybe you just might be trying too hard. In prayer time, it seems like we have to be broken down, on the ground, worn out; it took you 1 hour of breathing, sweating, snotting and crying to realize that you aren’t any good. We try so hard to get people to hear us that we try doing the same thing with Christ, resulting in failure, though He heard it, but didn’t like the way He heard it. The Bible says surely we should cast our cares on Him because He cares for us. But it didn’t say we should upload to Him and never receive a download. Why do you download the latest version of a software update on your phone? So that it can function properly. So why do you keep uploading to Christ, and never receive a download so you can function properly? The problem is we upload, upload, upload and upload.

1. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2. For by it the elders obtained a good report. 3. 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. 4. 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. 5. 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. 6: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. 7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. 8 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. 9 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:10 For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.


Hebrews 11:1-25

Enoch pleased God. Do you want to please God? The first thing you must have is, A) Faith (Hebrew 11:5-25). We ask people everyday to have faith in us. To trust us, to count on us, to love us. We ask this everyday, and Christ asks this to! To have faith in Him. He said have faith the size of a grain of a mustard seed. Just that little amount of faith. When a man and woman marry, they are asking one another to have faith in their relationship, because you are entrusting your heart to that person. You want them to have faith that they’ll give you their heart. Faith is so powerful; to have faith in what you don’t even see. Enoch had so much faith that the Lord took him, and he didn’t see death. Noah had faith that some of us would never have. If someone called you up and told you to build an ark big enough to house every animal in the world what would you do? Noah built for x number of years, even at ridicule from those around. What sort of faith should we have when the Lord tells us to trust Him? B) Obedience is also needed to please God as found Jeremiah 7:21-23. The Bible says obedience is better than sacrifice. How could you go to the Lord and tell Him how great He is and tell Him that you love Him, but don’t do what He asks? Do you want someone to be obedient to what you say to do, or do you just want them to love you? If you love them, you will be obedient to them. Most of the time we tell them we love them, but we also have to show it. The Lord says, “If you love Me, keep My commandments.” We always want someone to prove to us that they do in fact love us. Christ is saying the same thing. Telling Him that we love Him and not showing Him means nothing. The next quality needed to please God is, C) Humility, as stated in James 4:6-10. We all have the issue where we can’t please ourselves let alone please God.

6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

James 4:6-10

D).Love is need to please God. Romans 8:38-39 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 8:38-39

There is no love. The love of people has grown cold. The lack of love is the lack of faith, obedience and humility. This is why you can’t reach Christ, because if you’re missing one of these attributes, you’ll not grow closer to Christ. You say you have a lot of faith, but faith without works is dead. It all comes full circle to, “If you love Me, you’ll do what I ask.” Many say they love Him and have a personal relationship with Him but they don’t do anything for Him. Faith, obedience, humility and love are the beginnings steps to a way to the heart of Yah’shua (Jesus); to please His heart. Enoch had faith, and inside of that was love, obedience and humility.

David is a example in the book of Acts 13:22 22.) And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.

How can David a murderer and adulter be a man after God’s heart? He knew how to do one thing: ask for forgiveness. He had an issue with obedience, but he worked on it. Some of us don’t even want to work on what we’re going through. Some of us are too busy. We the people of God need to make up our hearts and minds. Are we going to serve God or walk in shadows. Will we walk in the light or in shadows behind the light. The Lord loves those who diligently seek Him. Joshua tells us in Joshua 24:14-15, “Choose ye this day who you will you serve.” And it’s so obvious today that people are struggling with choosing the life in the world and a life in Christ. Others are trying to do both but Christ says you’re either hot or cold. You can’t be both or he’s going to cast you with the cold (Rev.3:15).

When you follow something make sure its the truth. The Lord is very easy. He says just be obedient and have faith in what He says and does, and have humility. Its the same thing we ask in a relationship. I want someone who is loving, humble, has faith in me and obedient. That is all the Lord wants. By you doing that you’ll draw closer to Him. You can commune.

Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.11 For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.12 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother’s righteous.13 Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.14 We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.17 But whoso hath this world’s good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.19 And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.20 For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.21 Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.24 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.

When Two Worlds Collide Inside of You

We started out on this journey in Christ never really realizing how much of a life of conflict, confrontation and the intensity at which it would display in our lies. We would encounter so many things in our walk in Yah’Shua (Jesus). If you didn’t realize yet, when going through a transformation, there is an actual battle taking place in your mind and body. Its almost like in the horror movie when the young teen is bitten by a werewolf that transforms him into a werewolf. His body begins to congeal and contort into the shape of the very thing that bit him. Now the process the teen was going through came about in him because of the war that was going forth in his body between his human cells and the cells of the invading contaminated werewolf. It’s similar to the same thing we are going through with the contamination of sin. The incoming sin and the internal sin is at war with the move of the Holy Ghost inside of you. We have claimed sin nature as part of our characteristics and try to pass it off as who we are. However, the Holy Ghost is saying no, that is what sin wants you to be. You see that which the sin nature is trying to display and you get confused and think that is a part of your personality. Your sin nature is trying to mold you into a shape of what it wants you to appear to be like before others. We have claimed it to be a part of our characteristics as though that is who you are. No! The sin nature is trying to contort you into a thing of the sin nature, trying to tell you that that is who we are. But the Holy Ghost says that is not who you are. Your sin nature is trying to mold into the shape of what it wants you to be before others, to fool you into a false sense of security so you’ll get satisfied in that state. Holy Ghost says that isn’t the way He designed you. With the Holy Ghost in you and sin nature in you, they’re warring against each other on a daily basis, sometimes on a moment by moment basis. How many have been sitting alone, then all of a sudden a demonic thought pops up? Why? The sin nature is trying to be eradicated out of you, but rears its ugly head up. Why? The Holy Ghost is rooting out all that mess that has been in your for years that hid itself.

David said purge me with hyssop. Hyssop is a rough bush with short branches that have a byproduct that is used to clean out things. David said wash me Lord, clean me with hyssop. It was known to scrap things off really well. Scrap all that stuff off of me. Wash me and I’ll be whiter than snow. He wasn’t talking about his outer-man, but his soul. Do you know your soul picks up things like a magnet? How many are familiar with neodymium magnets? They are very strong. You can’t put it to any metal with your hand between it, or you’ll get hurt. Your soul is like a magnet, picking up anything not like it simply because its there. We have to make sure that whatever we’re around is not bad or evil, because our souls will gravitate toward it. David says make me to hear joy and gladness. How many volunteer to hear bad news all the time? No one. Create in me a clean heart and renew a right spirit in me. Why would he say that? That old heart is jacked up and doing things it shouldn’t, so give me a new heart and renew my soul within me so I’ll be able to do what? A lot of times when we talk to the Lord, we don’t talk to Him with the right spirit or mindset. Our soul is not talking, rather our flesh is, but we continue to say the same thing to Him like a broken record. How many like listening to a broken record? How do you think the Lord feels about us constantly coming to His face about it? Yet He’s merciful, loving and kind, and continues to listen.

7)Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. 8)Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. 9)Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. 10)Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. 11)Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. 12)Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. 13)Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.

Psalms 51:7-13

In this process of being cleaned and transformed your going to encounter things about yourself that you never new existed in you, some good but a lot bad, ugly and nasty that you don’t want to own up to. Also stuff in you that you always knew was there but tried to ignore it, hoping that it wouldn’t be revealed and that it would hide itself away in the dark recesses of your subconscious mind never to be seen or heard of ever again. There are things about you that you don’t want anyone to know, so you try to push it out of your face. Everything that you try to push away has a way of coming to the surface in your life. A situation brings it up. You can’t even pray right, when you aren’t right. You can’t reach Him because there is something blocking that communication you have with Him.

The Word of God tells us that the battle we are going through may seem overwhelming and daunting, but the battle is the Lord’s. Know this, we should gather up our resolve and our wits about ourselves and put on the full armor of God and prepare for battle, knowing that we are not wrestling against flesh and blood.

And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the Lord unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God’s.


2 Chronicle 20:15

Sometimes you have to take a step back out of you and look at the battle God has you in because its trying to cleanse you. Haven’t you noticed that certain things people say to you or certain ways people treat you bring a certain resolve out of you that you didn’t know was there? Being in a battle tends to bring out all those attributes and elements you didn’t know you had inside of you. You thought you were a reserved individual, but you get in a battle and never know what you’ll do in a battle. That battle is with sin in your life. A lot of times you win, sometimes you don’t. Sin tries to maintain a hold on you so you can’t reach your goals in Christ. The two worlds of Sin and Salvation are warring inside of you. Sin doesn’t want to give up, because sin is attached to your emotions. If you’re bound by something, sin has you bound and doesn’t want to let go. Keeping you bound is keeping you from your destination. Satan isn’t trying to defeat you, but slow you down. Its like the proverbial salesman comes into your house to sell you a car. He describes every aspect of what is already your car. He gets you confused about things so he can trick you. Look what Satan did to Christ, taking Him to the highest pinnacle of the temple. All of the land he showed Him he said could be His. Salesmen know how to get you to buy a car. How many walk into a store vowing to only get one thing, but when you leave you come out with a whole grocery list worth of items. Satan will bring you into a situation where you’ll take this sin, that sin and a little of that sin because its there. He’s giving it to you at a discount. You didn’t know there were discount sins? He even has free sins.

The battle is not yours its the Lord’s. He’s trying to create in you a clean heart. He’s trying to renew your spirit. People intentionally try to get on your bad side. Does anyone here have a bad side? How many buttons does it take to get to that bad side? We have a point that we’ll reach called the point of no return. You’re fed up with someone, then you start thinking evil thoughts about that person. That is how quick Satan will drag you down, and the sin was free and discounted. Discounted one’s are real good because you try to get it. Others costs, but Satan will get it to you at a bargain price. We all like discounts don’t we? A lot of people are attached to something that says sale. Satan knows what you are weak about in your walk, and he will put something there knowing you’re going to go for it for you to make that same mistake over and over again. Satan wants to delay you. If can delay you he has you.

When we get into a battle, don’t we prepare by getting armored up, bullet proof this and helmet that? But when we get ready to fight against sin in our lives, we don’t do that. But the Bible tells us to do this:

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;


Ephesians 6:12-14

We don’t prepare for battle. When you get up in the morning and stand on the floor, are you prepared for battle? No. We go through routines. Routines in your life have caused your life to go down hill. When you get up in the morning, the first thing you should say is “Lord I’m going into battle.” How about making sure you have the word in your mind and heart? If you can, put a list of scriptures together, put 10 scriptures together that you love and say them in the morning. You need to have power scriptures. Look at your power scriptures. Whatever it is post it, so before you walk out of the door, say each and every last one of them before you walk out of the door. The more and more you do that, your heart will change. These are set armors, having the Word of God before you. The Word that you speak will travel before you get to your location. You’ve spoken a word of protection. You will feel awesome and better about yourself. How many even say scriptures? Understand the context of what’s going on. You’re putting on your armour. The Word is your armour. This is what the Children of God should do on a regular basis. Get the most powerful scriptures. No weapon formed against me…I can do all things through Christ…working together with others for God’s purpose. Get scriptures that will be a powerful force in your life, before you leave out of the house and go into the world. You know that everywhere you go, there is a spirit waiting out there for you, and they will get on you. A spirit doesn’t have to get inside of you to possess you, a spirit can possess objects. You take the objects home and that spirit will go with you. If you go into a foreign country, don’t buy souvenirs, because you don’t know who made that device or whose had hands on it. Satan know that. That is true when you buy souvenirs from this country too. Just because its American doesn’t mean its safe. Don’t pick things up you don’t have any clue about. You’ve got to be careful.

Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you.


1 Peter 4:12

As people we must remember this one thing if you can’t remember any thing else and that’s in the book of Colossians 1:25-27, “Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God; Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.


Colossians 1:25-27

You have Christ in you, those who are the saints of God. So when you go and buy something at the store that is not right, you’re saying God would buy that. When you go and clock someone, and knock them out, you’re saying God will do that. When you’re violent toward someone, when you talk about someone, lie on someone, missuse them, if you are wrong, you’re saying Jesus is like that. We say that Christ is in us right? We’re saved right? Your hope in Him is Christ being in you, and with Him being in you, you won’t be able to sin.

Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.


Ephesians 6:13

When you see no hope, just stand. Put your trust in God. It works. Just stand. Amen.

Change Today, ‘Cause Tomorrow Might Be Too Late

Who are you today, what do you believe, and where is your heart? Is it safe or is it hidden from prying eyes? Do you love yourself? What is going on with your life? Are you satisfied? Do things seem to be out of control? Are people getting the real you? Is there a need of validation in your life? Do you know you and what you’re all about? These are some of the questions you need to ask yourself to find out who the real you is all about. A lot of times we pass by this world daily not being aware of who we are…where we are. You ask someone who are you? They say they’re a human being. But what makes you alive? Does a body walking around to and fro make them alive? Do others look at you as being alive or just an individual occupying a space, filing an area where no one else is? Do you really matter? Who do people say you are or what you are?

In this age and generation and the inter-connectivity being utilized mostly by everyone through mediums such as Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Google and may other social media platforms, human connectivity has been taken to a whole other level. In this age of insta-facebooking-tweets, people are poring out who they really are to the point where they’re living out and baring their life stories, live about what they believe, even their most intimate and inter-most thoughts and ideas. They’re expressing their hated, anger, even their sexual orientations. In other words, as the old folks say, coming out of the closet on Instagram and Facebook, then Tweeting about it. It’s bad enough that the world is doing this, but now the Church is heavily involved the same way, bearing all their weakness before the world instead of before God. They are even soliciting help from their followers or patrons, looking for them answer their life dilemma, only to hear someone’s opinion or observations, of which they don’t have a clue of what actually to say or do. They’re giving advice of which they don’t even follow themselves. They don’t even have a solid foundation themselves for their own life. Why is it that those who’s lives are out of order are always trying to advise others on how to structure their lives, not understanding that the advice given is only as good as the person that gives it? They seem not to understand that the advice that they give if it didn’t help them, how is it going to help others? It’s as how the Bible puts it “the blind leading the blind,” and the Word of God says they’ll both fall into a ditch. They haven’t taken the time to look back to see how many times they’ve been wrong. How many times have you been wrong listening to someone else’s advice? We never look back, but we still take their advice. You’ll say to yourself, “I’ll take so-and-so’s advice because I know its true.” Well it’s true according to their level of understanding of what truth is. What is their understanding concerning a subject? The only information they can give you is based on their own understanding. So when someone tries to give you advice who doesn’t have a clue, its not advice, but confusion.

You’ve never fired a gun before, and neither have I. I could tell you that the bullet goes into the chamber, then you rotate the chamber around and put more bullets in, then you pull the trigger. That is my limited understanding about how a gun works. Now this device doesn’t dent, but causes a lot of pain and even death. It would be more advantageous to go to someone who has knowledge about it, instead of someone who gave their opinion about it. An opinion is what you think it is. An opinion is your understanding being weighed into a conversation you don’t have any clue about. He’s a hobo telling you how to get a job and gain money so you can take care of yourself. He’s asking for food and he tries to tell you how to get a job. Makes no sense. That person should take his own advice, get a job, so you won’t have to give him money for food. This is wisdom. This is where the Church is suppose to come in and regulate people’s thoughts and minds about what they’re saying but the Church has fallen into the same things.

Does it seem right for someone in the Church to go out into the world and ask about spiritual things? As a Christian, do you think it seems right to go to the world to know if God is dealing with you? They’re going outside the Church to get prayer, because they feel like they can’t go to the intercessor who is in the Church, who will pray the Lord’s will in your life, as oppose to someone in the world who will tell you what you want to hear. Do you know some people don’t know how to pray? The Lord had to put a training manual in the Bible. “Our Father which art in Heaven…” It doesn’t make sense to those of us who don’t pray. The Bible tells us to enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise, being thankful to Him and bless His name. Your prayer is an entryway into the presence of God. When you create the entry way you say what is on your heart. When you get in there before His presence, be thankful, then you will automatically bless His holy name. What can the world offer the Children of God? They can’t offer you anything. So why do we seek advice from people who are the world, even if they are our friends? If they’re not of God, then they are in the world, and if so, you don’t need to hear anything from them. If you have an issue, why take it to the world and not resolve it among yourselves? How dare you do that? Is that your sister? You’re suppose to love her as you do yourself. You aren’t suppose to go out into the world, and paste it on a billboard, biting and devouring one another. Some of us need to change today, because tomorrow may very well be too late. We don’t know the time He’s returning, but we should do one thing: be ready, because He is ready. He can travel between dimensions and be right here, because He made dimensions.

Allow Him to be the best He can be in you and the only way is to set yourself free. Allow yourself to let Him set you free. He doesn’t go against your will. You have to realize that its you that may be standing in the need of prayer, admitting I’m a no good, wretched man. We are the one’s with the faults, going outside to the House of God to solicit help for our mental problems, seeing psychologist. Does the psychologist know Jesus? No he’s atheist. You have a spiritual need that he can’t fix. We go outside the Church for help. We need to recommit ourselves back to God saying Lord You are my Heavenly mentor, my guide. Lord help me change the way I use to be. All the understand you need is the the Word of God. The only people you want to listen to are those who study and know the Word, because when they quote things to you, they quote from the Word. Does everyone understand the Word of God? It’s given to Pastors who are after His heart, different than everyone else because they are after His heart. You may read it this way, but the Lord will give it to the Pastor another way that will effect you one way. Some things come by praying and fasting. You may say, “but doesn’t the Word have it?” Some things come by praying and fasting. The Lord needs to talk to you personally, and you need to deny yourself so when you come to Him, you can hear Him, so your mind and heart will be open. Then when you pray you’ll be praying the right thing and not off the deep end.

By the fruit you shall know the one’s laboring among you. What is fruit? The works that they do that glorify our father. You’ll never hear them gloat over what they’ve done, but glorify the Father. After you see that a person has fruits, try them. The Bible says that He’ll do the same thing about your works. He will try them to see if they are stubble, gold or silver. If it doesn’t pass the test, then its a mess. That person, you try them. Its not saying you’re setting them up, but you’re finding out for yourself that you can trust them. Give a little piece of information and see where it travels to. If it beats you back home and you just told someone something, then you have to question. Try the spirits. See what happens when you get them angry. See if they stay saved and start flipping you off.

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.


Proverbs 3:5-7

Don’t get advice from other people. Get advice from God. You always will have someone who will tell you how to live. The Word of God tell us not to lean to our own understanding but in all our ways acknowledge Jesus and He shall direct our path. It’s so important that we are careful from who we get advice or even help from. There may be an ulterior motive for the advice or help. That person will look at you side eyed saying they will help you expecting something in return. They will bring up, “Remember I did this for you?” If you don’t do it, they will guilt trip you, and drag your name through the mud. They’ll forget all the things you’ve done for them. Whatever happened to the brotherly & sisterly love thing? People will do what they do to get over on you, but they’re suppose to be your brother and sister, however you have to love the one that deceitfully uses you.

Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother’s eye. For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh. And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?


Luke 6:42-46

Do you know anyone like that? They find fault with you all the time about little things, but they have a beam in their own eyes. If their life is not right, they can’t give you good advice because they’re not right. Just don’t take someone’s advice, weigh it. Satan operates in that “not rightness,” to cause the Children of God to sin. I don’t care who it is, even if it’s your aunt whom you’ve believed in for the past 45 years. This is what people do all the time. The Lord tells us to cast our cares on Him, because He cares for you. We need to hear and heed the voice. Will the Lord use an unclean vessel to tell you something clean? If you aren’t serving the Lord as you should, would people you talk to be hearing from God? There is a way that seems right to a man but the end thereof is the way of death, because they’re not connected to God. If you have a phone, and its shut off, you can’t receive phone calls. Its the same way with God. If you aren’t connected with Him 24/7, then what will I get from you if I’m listening to you? We need to make sure that we just don’t grab advice from people just because we know them. Do they have a personal relationship with Him? Does He know your name? Ask yourself that. Does He know your name? Then you need to re-calibrate yourself. Reset, reinitialize. Reset your life and reinitialize from that point on.

Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house. For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honor than the house. For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God. And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after; But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end. Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice, Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness: When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years. Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways. So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.) Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;


Hebrews 3:1-14

After Moses told them to wait so he could receive instructions from the Lord for what they would do next. As soon as he left and go to a certain part of the mountain and they couldn’t see him, the Children of Israel began to party and reminisce on how it was in Egypt. You need change from the old you to the new you in Christ Jesus. Remember old things are pass away now all things have become new.

This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance: That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour: Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is long-suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness


2 Peter 3:1-11

Don’t be carried away by people who say they’re saved and they aren’t and say the have all the answers for you in the Word of God. The Bible says we are a peculiar people. Why? Because we follow the Word of God to the letter and we understand what God says and we wait for His coming. I don’t know about you all, but I can’t wait for Him to return. There isn’t anything else I need to be worried about. No pain anguish, and trifling things. This is my hope of glory. Sometimes people are just ignorant of what the Word of God says about His coming. “Where is the Lord? Why isn’t He here?” They complain about why He hasn’t come. There has to be a ready made up mind in your heart that you have to let this world go. Some of us can’t because we’ve planned all our goals, trying to pay bills, relishing in paying so one day we’ll not have to owe anyone anything. Live each day as though it were the last. Its no more time to play Church anymore. The day that you hear His voice, harden not your heart. When you hear His voice, and feel Him speaking out to your soul, start making a change. You’re tomorrow could begin today.

In Yah’Shua, Jesus name.

What Aspects of Christianity Are You Practicing?

Sometimes our Salvation is predicated on the things that God gives us, what He does for us, or how He feels about us before we take it upon ourselves to say “this is the Creator who created me.” Some people who call themselves Christians are falling into what we might say is the Christian Identity Syndrome, taking the life of Jesus Christ and His word like ordering a meal at a restaurant, where everything is a la carte. Everything in Christianity is expected to be separate items on a restaurant menu, and the assumption is you have the option to choose how you want to serve our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. What aspect of Christianity are you following? What makes you a Christian? Do you not know that there is more than one aspect of Christianity that you are to take into consideration? Anybody can take the good aspects of Christianity, but no one wants to take the disciplinarian aspects of Christianity. The Bible says that whatever a man sows, that shall he reap. If you plant a seed of corn, don’t expect a pear tree to come up. So if you sow anger, strife, hatred, all those things into the ground or into the a person, what you’ll get out is the same negative thing you threw in. If you aren’t putting good stuff within you, good stuff won’t come out of you. If you allow your neighbors, friends or the world to put stuff in you, then what will come out of you are the things they’ve placed in you. Anger, jealously, hatred…so when someone sees you and asks, “What do you have for me?” What comes out will be negative and they will say that you, as a Christian, were evil. Will the real Child of God stand? Stand up in the midst of a battle? When things are not good. Stand. When everything is against you. Stand. When you don’t have money. Stand. But if you’re not a Child of God, you won’t know how to stand. Last time, I read the Word of God, I believe it said He die for total humanity, inclusive of all their sins. What would Christianity look like if man was on a chart like a menu and it had every expectation listed of what God wants from mankind labeled with no time limits? What is God asking from you? Total submission, obedience, love, happiness…He wants you to be joyful…the world goes up and says they only want love. What about obedience, caring, sacrifice? Christianity is not what you want it to be, its what it is. Christian means to be Christ-like. How can you be Christ-like when everything you exemplify is like the world? The Word of God says there is a way that seems right to a man but the end thereof are the ways of death? Why? Because you take Christianity a la carte.

Everyone wants someone to love them, hug them, and be around and care for them, right? In Ecclesiastes 3:1 it says there is a time and season for everything under heaven. There is a time to live and die, time to love and not to love. There is a time to be angry and not, because the Bible tells us we can be angry but not sin. There is a time to plant and there is a time to pick up. People try to do things out of season for their own benefit, because “they felt.” But when you feel, its your will. God is not mocked, what a man sows that shall he reap. God will not make you do anything, because He is not a God of control. He just says if you love Me keep My commandments. By love shall you do them, because out of love you won’t do them. These are the things that people negate because they don’t want that aspect of Christianity. Its just like in a marriage. Each partner does what the other likes out of love. It isn’t right for one of the partners to gansterize the spouse by using their emotions to move them in the direction of control. This is not of God. He said whosoever will let him come. God does not say “you better get in here or else!” God is not gangster. God’s way is to ask, “If you love Me would you do that?” If we say no, He’ll go on about His business, seeking for the soul who will say yes. Blessings then are showered on the one who said yes, and the one who said no gropes and moans about what the other person has. The one who says no talks about Jesus, says he knows Jesus, but his actions shows that they don’t love Him because they don’t do what He asks. The Lord Jesus Christ is not an a la carte God. The Lord tells us in His Word in the book of John 14:15, “If you love me, keep my commandments.” He didn’t say keep some of His commandments or even most of His commandments but all His commandments.

Can you imagine a world where people only live according to the Word of God only most of the time? What a world it would be! We are living in a world like that today. People are choosing what they want to do and how they want to serve the Lord. There are people who call themselves Christians who are literally taking whips of leather with sharp metal grommets, whipping themselves saying “Lord forgive me for my sins!” They forgot about the part that says He suffered and died. He did not ask you to suffer! He paid it all on the cross. What aspect of Christianity do you practice? Our God is an all inclusive God. You have to do it all, not the part that you feel you have control of. As we go forth walking in this life, we know its not going to be easy. They tell you when you’re going to get an education that it won’t be easy. There are 1000 others student who are going for the exact same major. “Well how do I get to the front of the line,” you may ask? Its called favor. When God says that is My child, I will bless them with favor. You came in the right season and at the right time to get your blessing of favor. There is a time and season for everything. When all of it merges together, its in God’s time, and if it is, it will move you, in time.

People are living today like there is no tomorrow, and the Church is doing the same as the world. For example, the Church is dealing with abusers, drunkards, effeminate men, and lesbianism. Everything that goes on in the world, the Church experiences in the Church. It ought not be. Some of the best liars and con men you’ll find are in the House of God. From the pulpit to the floor. It shouldn’t be.

Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.


1 Corinthians 6:9-11

No homosexuals will inherit the kingdom. When I was growing up, it was common for Church pianist to be homosexuals. It was a known thing. The keyboard moves people with the melodic sound. If there is a spirit in you, it goes out into your music. The Church Pastors, Deacons, Elders and Ministers didn’t recognize it until it was too late. The leaders in the Church wanted those with an awesome talent to get people happy and excited, so they can go in their pockets. We allow it. You choose what you want to come into your life and mind. I don’t choose for you and God doesn’t choose for you. Because we don’t have an understanding, we choose the wrong thing. All the people mentioned in 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 will not be going to Heaven. These types of people are in the Church, the body of Christ of baptized believers who call on the name of the Lord. Somebody opened the door for the mess to come in. Misery likes company. So the weak person gets with the weak person in the Church. If they are jacked up concerning the word, they will make the other person jacked up even more so. If you have a pastor or leader not aware of them being jacked up, and they are placed over something in the Church what happens to that? The Word of God tells us that man’s heart has become so cold that they are choosing everything but God. The people described in 1 Corinthians 6:9-11, God has said we once were. If we were once like that, why bring that mess back into your life again? Why associate with those who are like that again? If you were bound with that before, what will people living like that bring to you? A bound nature.

In this world, the tide has changed and the law has become the lawless. As for the some of those so call Christians of today, they are just like the world but with a topping of Christ, a la carte. You get to pick and choose how and what a Christian is defined by your own understanding and experience. How many have had cake without icing? It was good, but when it had icing, it tasted better. That is how the people of God in the Church who call themselves Christians are like. They have an appearance of Godliness. They have a covering of icing on their heads where when people look at them it is said that they are so sweet. Yet in reality they are like ravenous wolves waiting for the opportunity to tear you down. I don’t want anyone around me who will remind me that I’m living in sin, they say. If that happens I have to attack that individual to make them think less of themselves so they will faint. People gain knowledge and understanding about what they’ve come in contact with and by what people directly or indirectly have taught them. They need to corrupt who you are, so just in case they don’t make it on that last day when they stand before the Lord they can make an accusation before Him against you. They’ll say to the Lord, “Do you realize they did this and that and that and this, and you won’t let me in? I served You too!” When people are caught in a lie, they lie more.

All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.


1 Corinthians 10:23

What is lawful? Permitted, legitimate, allowable, approved. What is expedient? Convenient, practical, although possibly improper or immoral. All things are permitted, but all things are not practical. All things are allowable for me but all things are not good for me. Its good to drive a car fast, but is it expedient? If you drive too fast, its not good. It may appear to be good and look good. I can look at a dessert and eat it up. It was good to look at and good to taste, but now I’ve gained too much weight. It was good but wasn’t proper for me. Its good to have a job and get money, but not profitable to work overtime everyday.

You can weigh whether a person is a Christian or not by these factors:

1. Their level of ability to comprehend. If a person can’t understand the Word, how will they live it?

2. Their frame of consciousness or state of mind. If you’re trying to be taught something and your not conscious of what is going on, how would you ever understand and know what the Word of God says?

3. Their immediate point of reference. What are you’re conditions in this life? What is your reference point in life? Where did you come from, how did you grow up? In a hard environment or surroundings? Was your state of being disturbed? Was it conducive to you getting a proper understanding in life?

4. What outside influence was in your life? School? Your neighborhood? Outside influences shouldn’t deter you from your walk in Christ.

By asking these four questions, you will be able to answer or explain your perception on any truth on things that effect you in your Christian life and walk. Will you be able to explain to someone why you do what you do, without using someone else words? What does it mean to you to serve the Lord or to live holy or to walk upright before your God? Can you explain that? Christianity is more than just “Saying I am,” its “Doing I am.” No body likes you or wants to be around you. You make everyone feel guilty. Its not you, its the Word of God that is in and around you that makes them feel guilty. Its not about you its about Christ. They don’t like the fact you serve Him.

How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver! The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul. Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall. Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud. He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the Lord, happy is he. The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning. Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that hath it: but the instruction of fools is folly. The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips. Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones. There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. He that laboureth laboureth for himself; for his mouth craveth it of him. An ungodly man diggeth up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire. A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends.


Proverbs 16:16-28

Verse 19 explains you need to change your surroundings to people who have a humble spirit, because a high minded person will try to control you. Verse 22-23 tells you not to run your mouth about foolishness or things you don’t know about. Verse 25-28 speaks of the things being taught by an ungodly man. He teaches ungoliness and evil. The burning fire he teaches is not of the Holy Ghost and not of God, but ungodliness.

Where the love of God is there lies truth and understanding of being a true Christian, which mean being just like Yeshua (Jesus Christ). The Lord says if you are My child, you will exhibit ways like Me; talk like Me walk like Me act like Me. People will not know the difference and think it is Me! No one should ever stop you from going forth and being what God wants you to be. They don’t have the right. People feel they have control over you and if it doesn’t work directly, they’ll use things like love to make you do what they say. Only one person can tell you, “If you love Me keep my commandments,” and that is Jesus.

What is wrong with the world today? Its Godless. There is so much control in this society today. Once you get connected to the right source, but leave it, you’re on your own. You may not find another source you can connect to and know you’re hearing from God. Satan doesn’t want you to be connected. He wants you to look like a Christian, walk like a Christian, but be empty. Satan just wants you to be a vessel to carry his mess so he can spread mess to everyone you come in contact with. Paul said you have to die daily to yourself. Why? Because daily offenses come your way. So you have to learn how to die to your flesh. Yet your flesh says, “You know you love it,” but you must say, “No, you’ll not get the victory today.” If you give into it, whose unctioning your flesh? Satan. So when you’re flesh says to do something, and you commit the sin, we go through. When you get up, Satan comes to tempt you again. Its the little things that we do that we think are ok with God that Satan knows which he tempts us with. Satan isn’t trying to convert you to him, he is trying to delay you, getting you hooked on things you’re bound by. He’s good at it. The Bible says if it weren’t for the Holy Ghost, no flesh would be saved, because He’d have to shorten the days. Yet we think we can handle it. If Satan took Christ to the top of the pinnacle of a building and was subject to Satan’s temptations, why do we think we can handle Satan? You are Satan’s enemy. You have to fight and can’t allow yourself to be tricked. Its hard, but if it weren’t how would your faith be tried? You need to be put in the fire as the sword so that when it is beaten, then quenched, it hardens. Then its put into the fire again, and when it is hot, it is beaten again, then quenched again. When it cools, it is sharpened and can cut a piece of hair. God is teaching and trying us, beating us into raw material to be used.

So when you are called by God to somewhere to pray for people, the devils in Hell know you’re on your way. They’ve sent messages because they know you are a sharpened sword, and what comes out of your mouth cuts. The demons don’t want you to be there to affect the people, so when you walk into the room, everything comes to silence, because the of the presence of the Holy Ghost is on you, a vessel that has been sharpened. When you intercede, demons will get out as quickly as possible because they know you are a true, tried solider that has been beaten into place, made sharpened and hardened. They can’t tempt you.

If you aren’t going through something, you’d better check to see if you’re walking the way God wants you to walk, because its a daily test and trial for us. When those days come upon us that we don’t feel the presence of God in our lives, you should know for a fact that He is with you. The Holy Ghost will never leave you. God will never leave you or forsake you. Use the authority and power you’ve been given of the anointing of the Holy Ghost to do what you need to do. That is a good soldier.

Why Do We Mimic People’s Lives We Don’t Know?

Do you remember your very first day at school? A new kid in the community, with all those other kids around you? You found yourself being drawn to the most out-going kids there; you know, the one who had the nice clothing, who at that time was the most popular kid there that all the other kid were drawn to. Even the other kids were trying to befriend this popular kid. The fact that you were new at the school and wanted to be accepted by the other kids, you found yourself beginning to take on some of the qualities of that popular kid. You even found yourself dressing like them, talking like them and even taking on some of their mannerisms. When at first you were a shy, dry and introverted, even awkward kid at the time. You stood out to look at that other person, rehearsing how you will draw other kids to want to be around you, so you can set yourself as someone who “gets friends.” You couldn’t express yourself, even if you were given a microphone and a podium. We all remember those unforgettable and awkward moments in our memories, the one’s we try to forget. Even today as an adult, you still exhibit the attributes, characteristics and mannerisms of that individual who effected your life earlier on. You may even copy their lifestyle.

If you think of the popular entertainer Michael Jackson, his dress, his dance steps. We were attracted to him and mimicked his ways. Something effected us that caused us to want to be “like Mike.” Why, because we liked the attention he got. He was everything that you couldn’t be, suave, debonair, and everything that you couldn’t be because you were introverted, not knowing how to express yourself.

Having said all that, as you look at that one individual that you grew up around during those earlier years in school, you realize that they influenced you. That even today we sometime seem to exhibit some of the characteristics of that individual who had effected our life earlier on. Now as we look back over our lives even today we still tend to copy or mimic others lifestyle or even their character. I ask you why? What are we trying to say to everyone round us? What is that inter most statement we’re trying to say about ourselves? What are you longing for and why? Most of the time when we try to mimic someone’s character or behavior, it appears we are trying so hard to make a statement of purpose of who we are or would like to be seen as. Hence that is why we need not follow after men or women who fail at even being who they are, and even so now we usually take on the bad or inconsistent behavioral characteristics of others. Growing up a young man saw his dad fuss at his mom and she did what he told her to do. So that young man as an adult thinks he can fuss at women to get them to do what he wants. He has taken on the bad characteristics of his dad. Those people are trying to be, and exist and cope, but they’re jacked up! Why do we do we mimic people like this?

I learned one lesson: just being what God made me to be, made me different than anyone else. I can’t absorb the ways of someone else and expect to get the same results they got because that was them and this is me. I started being me, and its fun being yourself. You can’t be anyone other than you. I found out who I was.

So to help you get a grip before you slip on who you should be, realize that you are built up from the things you’re surrounded by, and you exhibit the characteristics of your surroundings. Those characteristics will follow you your entire life.

Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

Galatians 5:1

Some of us didn’t come to the Lord because our favorite person hadn’t come yet. When we found out that they finally did, then we came the Lord. Watch what you do things for. Make sure its truly unto God and not your flesh. Don’t say you’re a Child of God and you entangle yourself with the world or people in the world, because their life and mindset are not like yours. You have a hope of glory of being with your Father at the end. Their hope is to go to the next party, to hang out with their friends, to get the next thrill. Do you want to go home to your Father? If you want to go home, then leave the other mess alone. “But this is my brother!” or “This is my sister!” You have to leave your mother, brother, sister or cousin for the Lord. You see that they’re never going to come to Christ. Are you going to leave salvation to go to them? We get a “Mother Teresa” syndrome and want to save everyone. The Lord loves everyone but He knows everyone won’t come to Him. If you are going to serve the world, but stay in the House of God, you will disrupt the House of God, so you need to get out of the house. The Lord doesn’t pressure anyone to believe in Him, its a personal choice that person has to make. To personally choose something on your own without being influenced, you’ll maintain it. Yet if someone forces you to do it, you’ll do so as long as it takes for them to get out of your sight. The Lord knows that. That is why He says you choose this day whom you will serve.

As for us the baptized of Jesus Christ, we need to take heed to this Word of God so that we won’t find ourselves caught up or entangled in a lifestyle or behavior that is contrary to the Word of God. It’s so easy these day to get hooked into people and society today with new forms of connect called social media.

  • Instagram 400 million users
  • Snapchat 100 million users
  • Facebook 1.5 Billion users
  • Twitter 320 Million users
  • Linked In 400 million users
  • Pinterest 100 million users
  • Reddit 36 million users
  • WhatsApp 1 billion users

People are now captivated by social media. Satan just has to sit back in his easy chair and wait for people to be captivated by social media. A now you can see why we need to get control on what we are and who we are supposed to be. It’s so crucial that we know who we are and not try to be what we hear or what we see and even more what we are connected to.

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.


Romans 12:1-2

If you’re too busy with social media, will you be able to hear God? If we are “linking in” then we need to lockout then reset so we can truly see and understand where we are and what we are, and who we serve.

I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.


Ephesians 4:1-7

Can you walk worthily of your vocation if you are on vacation via youtube? No you can’t because it consumes you, your emotions, your time and life.

That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. in Jesus Holy Name Amen.


1 Peter 1:7-9

As you are going through your life, you should be under the auspices of our Lord Jesus Christ, doing what He says, so that when He returns, you won’t be found lacking. If social media is causing you to take your heart away from Him, your Bible studies, and your love for Him…I’m not saying dump social media all together. Be careful what you do on social media. How can you control yourself not to let social media control you?
