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.

Who Do Men Say You Are?

In this world today, most people want to be seen and recognized by someone, or individuals they are close to, to appear as someone who is mysterious, interesting, fun, loving or faithful. We would do almost anything that we think may grip the attention of others so they’ll notice us or at the very least look in our direction. It is as though we were some colorful birds of Africa trying to attract the attentions of the opposite sex for mating. This will is so strong that we would even go out of our character to be looked upon as a person everyone wants to be around or connected to. Why is the need to be connected so prevalent? Well, the truth of the matter is that there is built in every human being the need to be seen by their Creator; understood by their Creator. Like a child to their parents which needs to be accepted by them, looking for their love and pride; that is why human beings tend to be drawn to people with power or the “right stuff.” Some form or another, we’ll do anything to be associated with them, or power, money, or all three.

This is really serious because we find ourselves even in the Church being drawn to that magnetic personality of the Pastor or the Elder who is ministering. We want them to see us. We’re the ones that shout the loudest “hallelujah,” so that leaders can recognize us, especially if he is a Prophet so he can prophecy on our life. Even on our jobs we say we want to keep a low profile, but we really want to be seen and recognized for the work we’ve done. We want to be seen, heard and recognized. We as the real Saints of the One true God, you know the One that was crucified, non other than Jesus Christ of Nazareth, say we want to be connected to Him, we want to be around Him, were attracted to Him, but we don’t walk like it or live like it. Satan thought he’d caught Christ getting Him on the cross and crucified. Little did Satan know that Jesus was God in flesh, that Jesus was fulfilling prophecy. Had Satan known, he would not have caused Christ to be crucified. We know today that Jesus was God in the flesh. As Saints, we understand that John 1:1 says in the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. Then that Word became flesh and lived among us. We beheld Him as the only begotten Son of God. He couldn’t be “God” in His natural form, because we can’t perceive or look at that because no sin can bask in His presence and live. He couldn’t come down as God to us, so He had to choose a form that created the 1st sin—the flesh. He came down as the One and only living God. That is why He had to be had by a virgin. He couldn’t come through a woman who’d seen other men, because that flesh would have been tainted with the sins of someone else. He came through a woman who knew no man. It wasn’t that she was special. He could have come through any woman who knew no man, but He came through Mary because she was of the line of David, the scriptures prophesying that He would come down through the line of David. Most people beheld Christ as just a baby, because they saw Him come from the womb of a fleshly woman, not realizing that He had to be born of a woman, just like men are brought forth in childbirth, so that He could hold sin captive in that flesh. He came into sinful flesh, because the flesh sins, and knows no good. He came down to take that stigmatize out of the flesh, because He knew no sin throughout His whole walk. He walked in His walk of righteousness, to prepare Him for what He would do at the end. Christ gave His life for us, because Adam and Eve made that great mistake when they sinned in the garden, being told not to do something they ought not do. That sounds like saints in Church today. Don’t do this, but they do it anyhow. It’s amazing how people use their own minds to manipulate what God has said to do. Satan knew that Jesus was God in flesh. He sought every opportunity to confuse, confront, and divert Christ in His mission to die for men’s sins. He saw God in the form of flesh, and He knew that God would not reach out of His flesh, and save Himself, when He’d already come to die for the sinful flesh. Satan knew God well enough that when He says He’ll do something, He won’t interfere with it. Its the same way in our lives. God won’t interfere in our lives unless we ask Him to. If we ask Him to, He’ll see whether its good for us to go through. We may need to learn a lesson from that task. Christ knows who you are and what you need for your growth in your walk. When you’re strong willed about who your God is, Satan can do nothing to deter you. It’s when we have doubts about our salvation that Satan creeps in with an unholy doctrine or a misunderstanding of the Word of God. We still want to give our love, time, reverence and obedience to Satan through sin. If you sin, you’re doing what he wants you to do. You give sin your love, time, reverence and your obedience. We’re obedient to sin. Didn’t you know your being obedient to Satan? What is sin? An immoral act against God.

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. 


Galatians 5:19-21

Who do men say you are? You’ll find out who you are if these thing are named among you? Are you a Child of God or are you walking in vain? Lean not to your own understanding because we have been inundated with half truths, that it is sometimes hard to know which way to go or what to choose. But if you want to know the truth look for it at the foundational beginnings of the written word of God with an open, sincere heart and mind. As you draw closer to the truth, you will draw closer to the real One and only true God who became flesh and dwelt among us, in the person of Jesus Christ. He came to correct the sin that was committed by Adam and Eve, by dying for our sins on the cross that we could be with Him forevermore. Please don’t allow any person or words of people to keep you from going home. We are so drawn to people who are popular, wealthy or good looking. Why do you think the basketball stars, football and hockey players are so sought after? We look to see someone whom we can associate with, because we like what they’ve done, and want to be like them. Looks are not all they seem. You think you have a wonderful rose, then you find out that its a carnation with a lot of thrones on it. That is why we get carried away over soap operas, reality shows; we look up to those individuals because we aspire to be like them. We see the different shows, and entertainers that come out, musicians and others in their area of expertise. We can’t sing but we sure wish we could sing like them. We buy their albums and we just don’t support them, but we support their lifestyle even if they are Satan worshipers. We’ll spend $40, $50 up to $100 for a football ticked, but we’ll say we won’t give our money to anyone in the Church because all they’ll do is get rich from me. But where is the money going you gave to the sports arena? The owners keep it and give some to the players.

We’re so lost in our way of thinking. But when something goes wrong, because you gave $5 in an offering 10 years ago in a Church, you think that is still suppose to carry on to help pay for the burial expenses of a relative who died. When the Pastor speaks questionably, then we get defensive. Its not the point of letting the relative be buried, but when they want you to bury their folk, they want you to put on the burial, wake and repass, and supply everything. They look at you and say they gave money. They want you to go out of your way to do everything, and you don’t know what has happened in the life of that person. They want you to make up a lie to put that relative in heaven, and foot the bill for her burial. But you didn’t give anything.

We have to realize that just because a person cries “Lord, Lord, I’m Your child, have I not done all these wonderful things in Your name? I’ve prayed and I’ve done this.” But you had your own form of truth and were self-righteous. That is why a lot of people will be fooled, and if you miss out on the rapture, that is it, there is no second chance. If you try to its too late. We don’t see that. People can only see the here and now, where they are enjoying themselves now. They don’t want to go to a Church where they tell them they are doing wrong. We have to walk up right, circumspectly with the mind of God.

22 And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him. 23 And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought. 24 And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking. 25 After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly. 26 And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the town, nor tell it to any in the town. 27 And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Caesarea Philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Whom do men say that I am? 28 And they answered, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and others, One of the prophets. 29 And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ. 30 And he charged them that they should tell no man of him. 31 And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again. 32 And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him. 33 But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men. 34 And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 35 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s, the same shall save it. 36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? 37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? 38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

Mark 8:22-38

People want to be seen, heard, and at the forefront of what’s going on. He’d just gotten healed; a miraculous thing. When Jesus asked His disciples who do men say I am, they gave various answers.

Now, who do men say you are? Who do men and women, leaders, children, people around you say you are? Is your walk indicative of who they say you are? You want them to know you by your walk, not by your attitude or character, because the character may be flawed. But in your walk in Christ you’re trying to become unflawed. When you look at modern day language, Christ was asking what the talk about town was. They answered John the Baptist? Why? Because he went around doing the same things John did. But Christ asked His disciples who they thought He was. Peter said He was the Christ. The Lord then taught them that He must suffer many things. Peter rebuked Him, but Jesus rebuked Peter saying “get thee behind me Satan.” When we become a part of the House of God, then we have to realize that when God says things to us, we can’t examine what He says in a carnal mindset. Its just like when He told Nicodemus “you must be born again.” Nicodemus thought that he had to go back into his mother womb again. This is what we do as humans. We self examine with our own carnal mindset. We have to take up our cross and follow Jesus. Christ had to carry His cross which represented the weight of the world and sin on His shoulder. So take up the mess in your life, get rid of it, and follow Jesus fully. Not part-time. There are many part-time Christians, who are only so when its convenient. When you become a light of righteousness to people whom you are around, they feel guilty.

Is anything worth who you are? Some people say that they sold their souls to the Devil. But you can’t give something that isn’t yours. Its just like when Satan tempted Jesus in the dessert. Satan tried to give Him something that was already His. That is what He does to us, to confuse us. People are really drawn in by the falseness of it all; by confusion. They are really carried away by individuals who are deceived; those who want to be important and powerful. Its really funny that we are so drawn into those things. The Bible tells that the love of money is the root of all evil. You’re thought about what you can do with that money will drive you against the principles of God.

Satan never did like you in the first place or love you, because he can’t love or like anything. But he is good at 2 things: deceiving, and lying. He has a tract record. This is what proves it. Throughout all generations all he’s ever done was lie and deceive people. Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Forsake the cares of this life and join Jesus Christ. Be drawn into the things of God, His attributes. Don’t be drawn into this world. They want so much and give so little. Christ gives you all and only wants one things from you, that is love.
