People of God, PLEASE stop seeking "a word" from false prophets turned celebrities. Use discernment.
No true prophet sends out blanket form letters to thousands of viewers, fans and donors with the same "prophecy" for everybody. No true prophet actually takes time to record your "personal" prophecy on CD. If it were really personal, wouldn't it make more sense for them to call you? Come on! God did not give them a vision of your situation. They did not see the state of your heart. Let's be real... that is NOT a personal letter or note to you. Do not be deceived.
You must be responsible for your own deliverance and your own salvation. Don't allow false prophets and teachers to deceive and take advantage of you. God loves each of us enough to place tangible leaders in our lives. STOP sending gifts and donations to those who don't care to know you or minister to you personally. Stop supporting those who are not reachable.
Whenever someone can ask you for money or time, and you respond, yet you're not ever able to reach them directly by phone, appointment, or anything of the sort... Well, that's a pimp, not a called man or woman of God!!!
ORDER IN THE CHURCH!!!

A Weight Loss Testimony
TESTIMONY TIME
I am not at all one to share private information on line, but I really pray this will encourage someone. In 2011, I reached my highest weight ever. Stress, due to the pressures of life, work and ministry really made a heavy impact on my body and health. I was diagnosed with Type II diabetes and a host of other issues, leading my doctors to suspect lupus.
To make a long story short, I'd narrowly avoided three surgeries (of various types) by the time I started having debilitating health issues in late 2011. As I underwent a major surgery in the Spring of last year, I prayed and fasted, as a woman of faith, that God would heal every issue in my body. At some point, though, I realized God had empowered me to change some of these things myself. I owed it to my family, both spiritual and natural, to do all I could to improve my own situation - works, couple with prayer.
Today, after adopting a healthy diet (yes, I still eat chocolate) and moderate exercise regimen, I am 100% healthy. No diabetes. No lupus. No high blood pressure. 45 pounds gone, with about 15 to go! I feel great, and I'm enjoying abundant life in Christ as every born-again believer should. I thank God for wisdom and His ability to heal. Faith will not only drive us to pray, but faith will make us DO.
"For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also" James 2:26.
Through Christ, YOU can do all things!!! Be encouraged. Don't just believe God to fix your situation. Work with Him and His word, which cannot return void. AMEN.
"Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth" 3 John 1:2.
People of God, take care of yourselves. We can't preach the word of God with signs and miracles following if we're sick always sick, tired and weary. Let's stop eating fried chicken every Sunday while asking God to lower our cholesterol. Let's not make Sunday morning the only time we get exercise. While it is important to appreciate the beautiful beings God made us to be, let's admit when we are unhealthy rather than just dressing up. We can and must do better... We start by telling ourselves the TRUTH, as the truth will make us free. We must admit we have a problem (confession) before we can be healed (deliverance). AMEN.

We Must Live Holy
1 Thessalonians 4:7 "For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness."
Unfortunately, there are thousands of theological arguments that many of us entertain. We can so easily get caught up into battles of wit and semantics. At the end of the day, nevertheless, God demands something of us. He has given His only Son, Jesus Christ, to pay for our sins. He wants a return on His investment, and that return is a life of holiness... a living sacrifice, HOLY and acceptable, which is our reasonable service.
We must be born again... of the water and of the Spirit. No matter how we choose to label it, the bottom line in this - WE MUST BE HOLY, as God is holy! WE MUST LIVE RIGHT, ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES.
To have ORDER IN THE CHURCH, there must be order in God's temple. WE are the temple of the Holy Ghost. Set order. Live holy!
