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.

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.

Conflicts of Your Christian Life

Conflicts: Things Have Changed

Conflict: A clash between hostile or opposing forces

7 Conflicts in the Christian Life

1) Christian behavior- Romans 13:1-2
“Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.”

The powers that be will use these verses to get the Child of God to be obedient to them for the purpose of control. The old man wants to address a situation in the ways it wants to without using the Word of God. They watch to see how you are, to get your reaction.

2) Sin. Do you wrestle with sin? It is a conflict with your spiritual walk. Sin comes in all types of ways. Sin is always present.

3) To live holy or not to live holy:

James 3:1-18, James 4:1-17, Romans 13:14, Romans 6:1

4) Flesh and the Spirit – Romans 8, John 1:13

5) The voice of Jesus Christ – Sometimes we think our own voices are the voice of Jesus. But, when He truly speaks to you, you will know assuredly. “And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.” John 10:4-5. Also see Matthew 16:17, John 10:27

6) Lust – This goes beyond sex. The lust to do evil, head games, lust to sin. Lust, money and power cause men to fall. For women,  love, financial ability, and outer appearance cause them to fall. Lust not, want not, need not. How many are lusting after Jesus? Ephesians 2:3

7) To pray or not to pray- We should know when to pray and what to prayer about and wait for God to answer. Matthew 6:7. David was a man after Gods own heart. His heart was genuine when he asked for forgiveness. We need to do the same.

These conflicts are just normally against the child of God, a part from personal conflicts. Whatever we go through, seek the answers from God, fall on your knees, fall on your face, humble yourself. He is the only hope in our Christian walk.
