LOL! I love this video... it's actually funny and entertaining. And, these young men can sing!
As I watched, however, conviction came over me on behalf of the church. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? That's the question heard. Immediately, I thought of all the church services I've been to - more than half of those I've attended in my life - where the singing was awesome. The preaching was animated. The singers and the preachers had TALENT BUT NO MESSAGE!
Just like we see in this video, which was obviously done in fun, two young men have talent, but the essence of their message is nothing more than a sitcom theme song. Everyone can relate. It sounds good. It keeps us entertained.
Entertainment? Haven't we had enough? When the runs are gone... When the music stops... When the people stop shouting... What has changed? What was the message, REALLY?
Selah.

"Life Begins at Conception" (Pro Life)
This video is truly a blessing. Life is such a precious gift, and we often take for granted the greatest gifts given to us by our Heavenly Father.
I am, indeed, PRO-LIFE!!! Amen!

Can You Imagine?
This is a very true and real message for the church today. The deliver is different, but the message is still the same. Wake up and take this walk seriously. It's time to walk upright before God and stop taking for granted the work of the cross!

Read the Bible in 90 Days - Day 5
The reading for Day 5 spanned the history of God's people after Joseph's reign, which was the beginning of a period of slavery for the Hebrews. They were beaten, abused and enslaved by the Egyptians for over 400 years.
At the beginning of the book of Exodus, I was amazed at the hatred that was turned toward God's people. Despite every effort to kill their male children, God still prevailed and raised up a prophet and leader in the person of Moses. Of course, this is a familiar turn of history and passage of Scripture, but I noticed in these chapters how God hardened the heart of Pharoah on so many occassions. His purpose was only to then deliver and receive the glory.
I immediately thought of Jesus and the blind man. His discipled asked Him, "Who has sinned? This man, his mother or his father?" Jesus quickly reminded them that no one's sinned caused his blindness. Instead, he was blind because God wanted to operate through Him. God wanted to use him to birth a miracle and receive glory.
As I read through each trial and plague, I imagined the strong sense of discouragement and disappointment that God's people must have felt. Imagine being enslaved and told you are free only to find yourself enslaved again. Disappointment after disappointment... False hope after false hope...
Today, it is an encouragement for me. I just began to meditate on all the times that people treated me harshly. Yet, God received the glory. Could all that I've been through be for that purpose, for the sake of my testimony? Wow - God is truly awesome! It's a quick reminder that this walk is not at all about us. If we are called and chosen of God, we must give as lives as a sacrifice to be used in whatever manner necessary to bring God glory!

Read the Bible in 90 Days - Day 4
In our journey through the Bible in 90 days, we have now completed the entire book of Genesis. Overall, one of the things that has stood out to me is God's infinite ability to make the first last and the last first. Never before have I noticed that so many times, God favored the one who should have been last. Jacob and Esau, Joseph and his brothers, Ephraim and Manasseh...
I began to think of all the times that I started out behind, yet the favor (blessing) of God brought me to the forefront... To GOD be the glory! So often, men don't understand your position and your authority as a child of God. Of course, having God's favor doesn't always mean you are the "best," but God has a way of giving increase to His children. He has a way of touching and fulfilling covenant promises to those that He favors. It's aweome!
Of course, the entire book of Genesis also humbles me simply because God goes through the miraculous just to restore relationship with His creation. Over and over and over again, He extends His hand of mercy. Over and over and over again, flesh fails! Man commits sin. Yet, our loving Father always has a plan to restore His children back to Himself. He always has compassion. Who wouldn't serve a God like this???
Finally, I will note that this journey is already blessing me tremendously. While I've read the Bible from cover to cover a few times, I've never done it in 90 days. The discipline for this journey literally feels like a fast, and I love it. My flesh is being weekened and disciplined, while my spirit continues to yearn for more. God is speaking so much and so clearly that I can barely contain myself. I love the Word of God, and this is sparking even more zeal and compassion. The Word of God is truly living, and I look forward to 86 more days! It's not too late to join in!

Read the Bible in 90 Days
Yesterday, our church began a journey through the Bible in 90 days! Our goal - to read the word of God, cover to cover, before 2010. It has already proven to be an exciting venture. I have never seen people so excited and zealous about the word of God. I love it!I will say that I didn't realize so few people have actually read the Bible in its entirety. It's been a couple years since I've done the same, so I am certainly looking forward to it. We are officially using the program designed by Ted Cooper. I must admit that I am NOT a fan of the NIV version, simply because it eliminates a number of Scriptures (See http://jesus-is-lord.com/nivdelet.htm for more information). However, one can follow the program with any Bible. For many, the NIV is also easier to read. As a Pastor, I am just elated to see people excited about knowing God's word. If they can more easily understand and read the NIV version, so be it!
Last night's reading was from the beginning through Genesis 16. The thing that stood out to me most was the fact that mankind has disappointed God SO MANY TIMES!!! It was almost heart-breaking. Before the seventh chapter, our Father has already regretted creating man. Wow! It shed a whole new light on the need for repentance and the ever present evil our our minds without Christ.
Well, I've been hungry for more of the word all day. There is more to come as I journal through this journey. Won't you join me?

The Earthworm
Last night during prayer, God revealed something to me that was frightening, yet enlightening. He gave me an open vision of an earthworm. At the beginning of the vision, the worm was of a normal size, but as it began to move, it grew exponentially. As I continued to watch, the worm grew and moved across the states until in was literally large enough to stretch from North Carolina to California. As it moved, it would eat and grow. Another thing I found interesting is that people were jumping on its back for the ride.
Earthworms live by eating dead matter. This worm, God revealed to me, is religion. It is a spirit that is moving across our country, feeding on dead religious practices and ideologies. The worm was able to grow and move because there was so much dead matter available. People do not know God, and they are being consumed by any manner of “organized distraction.” That includes church, meetings, clubs, organizations, phone calls - anything to keep someone busy, but still out of relationship with God. So many are claiming to be Christians, yet their very church, practices and rituals are keeping them from God. They are spiritually dead. They claim to know God, but deny His power. They are wrapped up in religious practices, but essentially worship only themselves, their accomplishments, their churches, their leaders and their man-made organizations. They are chasing titles and positions, but know nothing of how to seek God. More people are jumping on board, because this way is easy. It pleases the flesh and disguises sin.
As I watched and heard God revealing this explanation, I began to pray all the more, but God told me to be comforted. He reminded me that earthworms also fertilize the soil. When earthworms are present, anything can grow. “Now,” he said, “the soil is rich. The ground is fertile, and the harvest will be more plenteous.” As a result of the wave of empty religion, many will find themselves unfulfilled if they haven’t already. This is the time to evangelize like never before. This is the time to stand for truth. Now is the day of salvation!
Where is the voice of the prophet in this season? Where is the staff of the true shepherd? Where are those who will go into all the world and preach the good news?
People of God, there is an urgency here in the United States of America to stand up for truth! Truth means exactly that! We can no longer sugar-coat our speech and make people feel better. In fact, we must begin to teach the truth about CHURCH WORSHIP. Yes, many are dying in the church, because we refuse to preach about sin if it pertains to people who gather on Sunday and say “Jesus” once a year. People are dying, and we know the key to eternal life – TRUE RELATIONSHIP with God.
God’s house has become a valley of dry, dead bones. Speak the word of life. Speak truth and promote relationship, rather than religion. People need to be faithful to God more than man. Honor God first. No more idols in our Father’s house! AMEN.

A Plea for Prayer and Fasting
People of God, the enemy is running rampant in our churches. Look around! We are living in a time when the mature saints of God must move by the Spirit of God and “come up” in accountability for the health and strength of the Church, the Body of Christ.
This is a plea this morning, to get on your post. Get in position and stay there! You are needed! We cannot continue to pray only when the church has an intercessory prayer service. We cannot continue to fast only when a corporate call is made. We cannot continue to worship only when the organ is playing.
This is truly a season of maturity. Satan is severing relationships, exposing weak integrity and accusing the saints on every hand. How can we sit idly by and allow him to make a mockery of the Body of Christ? How can we watch as our brothers and sisters die a spiritual death right before our eyes.
It’s time to get to work. PLEASE, be in prayer this week and consecrate a fast before the Lord. Our leaders need our prayers. They need us to engage in true, spiritual warfare. Even more, we need it ourselves!!! We need to seek the Lord like never before. Stay in His face. Pray in the Spirit and be lead of God. Fast before God. This is the season to crucify the flesh. We must bridle our tongues and watch our mouths. We are under attack, but we are more than conquerors! We must simply use the weapons God has given us.
Is 58:1
CRY ALOUD, spare not. Lift up your voice like a trumpet and declare to My people their transgression and to the house of Jacob their sins!
Is 58:2
Yet they seek, inquire for, and require Me daily and delight [externally] to know My ways, as [if they were in reality] a nation that did righteousness and forsook not the ordinance of their God. They ask of Me righteous judgments, they delight to draw near to God [in visible ways].
Is 58:3
Why have we fasted, they say, and You do not see it? Why have we afflicted ourselves, and You take no knowledge [of it]? Behold [O Israel], on the day of your fast [when you should be grieving for your sins], you find profit in your business, and [instead of stopping all work, as the law implies you and your workmen should do] you extort from your hired servants a full amount of labor. [Lev. 16:29.]
Is 58:4
[The facts are that] you fast only for strife and debate and to smite with the fist of wickedness. Fasting as you do today will not cause your voice to be heard on high.
Is 58:5
Is such a fast as yours what I have chosen, a day for a man to humble himself with sorrow in his soul? [Is true fasting merely mechanical?] Is it only to bow down his head like a bulrush and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him [to indicate a condition of heart that he does not have]? Will you call this a fast and an acceptable day to the Lord?
Is 58:6
[Rather] is not this the fast that I have chosen: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the bands of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every [enslaving] yoke? [Acts 8:23.]
Is 58:7
Is it not to divide your bread with the hungry and bring the homeless poor into your house--when you see the naked, that you cover him, and that you hide not yourself from [the needs of] your own flesh and blood?
Is 58:8
Then shall your light break forth like the morning, and your healing (your restoration and the power of a new life) shall spring forth speedily; your righteousness (your rightness, your justice, and your right relationship with God) shall go before you [conducting you to peace and prosperity], and the glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard. [Exod. 14:19, 20; Isa. 52:12.]
Is 58:9
Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer; you shall cry, and He will say, Here I am. If you take away from your midst yokes of oppression [wherever you find them], the finger pointed in scorn [toward the oppressed or the godly], and every form of false, harsh, unjust, and wicked speaking, [Exod. 3:14.]
Is 58:10
And if you pour out that with which you sustain your own life for the hungry and satisfy the need of the afflicted, then shall your light rise in darkness, and your obscurity and gloom become like the noonday.
Is 58:11
And the Lord shall guide you continually and satisfy you in drought and in dry places and make strong your bones. And you shall be like a watered garden and like a spring of water whose waters fail not.
Is 58:12
And your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt; you shall raise up the foundations of [buildings that have laid waste for] many generations; and you shall be called Repairer of the Breach, Restorer of Streets to Dwell In.
Is 58:13
If you turn away your foot from [traveling unduly on] the Sabbath, from doing your own pleasure on My holy day, and call the Sabbath a [spiritual] delight, the holy day of the Lord honorable, and honor Him and it, not going your own way or seeking or finding your own pleasure or speaking with your own [idle] words,
Is 58:14
Then will you delight yourself in the Lord, and I will make you to ride on the high places of the earth, and I will feed you with the heritage [promised for you] of Jacob your father; for the mouth of the Lord has spoken it. [Gen. 27:28, 29; 28:13-15.]
Eph 6:11
Put on God's whole armor [the armor of a heavy-armed soldier which God supplies], that you may be able successfully to stand up against [all] the strategies and the deceits of the devil.
Eph 6:12
For we are not wrestling with flesh and blood [contending only with physical opponents], but against the despotisms, against the powers, against [the master spirits who are] the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) sphere.
Eph 6:13
Therefore put on God's complete armor, that you may be able to resist and stand your ground on the evil day [of danger], and, having done all [the crisis demands], to stand [firmly in your place].
Eph 6:14
Stand therefore [hold your ground], having tightened the belt of truth around your loins and having put on the breastplate of integrity and of moral rectitude and right standing with God,
Eph 6:15
And having shod your feet in preparation [to face the enemy with the firm-footed stability, the promptness, and the readiness produced by the good news] of the Gospel of peace. [Isa. 52:7.]
Eph 6:16
Lift up over all the [covering] shield of saving faith, upon which you can quench all the flaming missiles of the wicked [one].
Eph 6:17
And take the helmet of salvation and the sword that the Spirit wields, which is the Word of God.
Eph 6:18
Pray at all times (on every occasion, in every season) in the Spirit, with all [manner of] prayer and entreaty. To that end keep alert and watch with strong purpose and perseverance, interceding in behalf of all the saints (God's consecrated people).

Pour It at His Feet
John 12:3-8 (AMP)
3Mary took a pound of ointment of pure liquid nard [a rare perfume] that was very expensive, and she poured it on Jesus' feet and wiped them with her hair. And the whole house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.
4But Judas Iscariot, the one of His disciples who was about to betray Him, said,
5Why was this perfume not sold for 300 denarii [a year's wages for an ordinary workman] and that [money] given to the poor (the destitute)?
6Now he did not say this because he cared for the poor but because he was a thief; and having the bag (the money box, the purse of the Twelve), he took for himself what was put into it [pilfering the collections].
7But Jesus said, Let her alone. It was [intended] that she should keep it for the time of My preparation for burial. [She has kept it that she might have it for the time of My embalming.]
8You always have the poor with you, but you do not always have Me.
What are you holding onto? What are you saving up for? In the Body of Christ, so many of us are sitting on our treasures. For some, it’s money, but for most, it’s time, gifts, talents and even faith.
Due to “church hurt”, we are often reluctant to pour out of ourselves, but God is calling for that sacrifice in this season. We are not being asked to pour out unto men, but unto the Father. Just as Mary poured expensive oil on the feet of Jesus, He is waiting for our sacrifices to be laid at His feet.
We have grown so accustomed to “working on ministry” that for many of us, even that is not yielded to God. There are more churches who preach the gospel of “I” and “My” than that of Jesus Christ. Yes, even our ministries must be laid at the feet of Jesus Christ. That means that we must yield some things to Him. Most importantly, we must TRUST HIM. This is not the season to do it all yourself. This is not the time to depend on you, your plans, your paycheck, your gifts or even your abilities. God is looking for those who will once again yield to Him and give all for His glory.
In 2 Samuel 24:24, David declares that he will not sacrifice anything unto God that doesn’t cost Him something. Our thinking, it seems, is that we won’t give up anything that has cost us something. We work so hard on great edifices, TV and radio broadcasts, grand conferences and banquets, but we pull them further and further away from God. We want to operate in a spirit of control, but God wants the throne in the tabernacle.
Is all our hard work really for God and His glory? If it were, we would allow Him to move. We would allow His people to operate in their gifts and callings. We would not operate in a spirit of control. We would obey the voice of God and move by the Spirit, rather than learned behavior. We would live by faith – not by habit. Just because it’s related to church doesn’t mean it’s building the Church. Just because it references God doesn’t mean it brings Him glory.
We know that entertainment draws the crowd, and the crowd pays the bills, but God wants that church poured at HIS feet. We know that lying from the pulpit brings the faithful contributions, but God wants to provide the increase. He wants the doctrine laid at HIS feet. We know that organized, traditional religion promises church growth and recognition, but God wants you to lay the tradition and the education at HIS feet. That thing that you have caused to flourish in the flesh, will you exchange it for the supernatural in this season? The center of your pride and joy – that great accomplishment that carries your name – will you allow God to undo it as He sees fit? That which has costs you so much – will you give it up for the glory of God?
No flesh shall get the glory. Humble yourselves in the sight of God, and He will lift you up. Selah.

6Now he did not say this because he cared for the poor but because he was a thief; and having the bag (the money box, the purse of the Twelve), he took for himself what was put into it [pilfering the collections].
7But Jesus said, Let her alone. It was [intended] that she should keep it for the time of My preparation for burial. [She has kept it that she might have it for the time of My embalming.]
8You always have the poor with you, but you do not always have Me.
What are you holding onto? What are you saving up for? In the Body of Christ, so many of us are sitting on our treasures. For some, it’s money, but for most, it’s time, gifts, talents and even faith.
Due to “church hurt”, we are often reluctant to pour out of ourselves, but God is calling for that sacrifice in this season. We are not being asked to pour out unto men, but unto the Father. Just as Mary poured expensive oil on the feet of Jesus, He is waiting for our sacrifices to be laid at His feet.
We have grown so accustomed to “working on ministry” that for many of us, even that is not yielded to God. There are more churches who preach the gospel of “I” and “My” than that of Jesus Christ. Yes, even our ministries must be laid at the feet of Jesus Christ. That means that we must yield some things to Him. Most importantly, we must TRUST HIM. This is not the season to do it all yourself. This is not the time to depend on you, your plans, your paycheck, your gifts or even your abilities. God is looking for those who will once again yield to Him and give all for His glory.
In 2 Samuel 24:24, David declares that he will not sacrifice anything unto God that doesn’t cost Him something. Our thinking, it seems, is that we won’t give up anything that has cost us something. We work so hard on great edifices, TV and radio broadcasts, grand conferences and banquets, but we pull them further and further away from God. We want to operate in a spirit of control, but God wants the throne in the tabernacle.
Is all our hard work really for God and His glory? If it were, we would allow Him to move. We would allow His people to operate in their gifts and callings. We would not operate in a spirit of control. We would obey the voice of God and move by the Spirit, rather than learned behavior. We would live by faith – not by habit. Just because it’s related to church doesn’t mean it’s building the Church. Just because it references God doesn’t mean it brings Him glory.
We know that entertainment draws the crowd, and the crowd pays the bills, but God wants that church poured at HIS feet. We know that lying from the pulpit brings the faithful contributions, but God wants to provide the increase. He wants the doctrine laid at HIS feet. We know that organized, traditional religion promises church growth and recognition, but God wants you to lay the tradition and the education at HIS feet. That thing that you have caused to flourish in the flesh, will you exchange it for the supernatural in this season? The center of your pride and joy – that great accomplishment that carries your name – will you allow God to undo it as He sees fit? That which has costs you so much – will you give it up for the glory of God?
No flesh shall get the glory. Humble yourselves in the sight of God, and He will lift you up. Selah.

The Day I Told God "YES" (Repost)
God gave me this poem a few years ago, but I always find it encouraging. It was a blessing to me today...
After a long day of hard work and labor
I finally got home and sat down at the kitchen table
I looked up to the ceiling and immediately began to pray
Father, I love you so much, but I've had a hard day!
Not only that Lord, but I'm tired and I'm weak
I work so hard to please You, yet my life seems so bleak
I know You're a provider, but to pay my bills I'm not able
I want to represent You, but others see me as unstable
I know that You're a healer, but my body aches with pain
I know I must have faith, so I constantly pray in Jesus' name
Yet when the day is over and all things come to an end
I sit here at this table, and cry out to You, once again
God, I know that You are faithful, it's not you who's failing, no
But what is wrong with me, that at Your command, I just can't go?
Why does it seem my life is just one struggle after another
And not only me Lord, but the same for my sisters and brothers?
A holy life I live, and a witness to You I try to be
Yes, I make mistakes daily, but I'm obedient to what You ask of me
I preach the word and speak out boldly against all sin
Yet the devils of the world prosper, and I simply struggle, once again
Let me interrupt right here, my Father said to me
When you said “yes” to do my will, how did you think your life would be?
You promised be a COMPLETE sacrifice - mind, body and soul
That means that from time to time, you may not quite feel whole
Job, the prophets, and even My Son felt desperate from time to time
Yet they all remembered the day they said, “Father, let Your will be mine.”
Don't ever feel I've neglected you, or that I don't hear your call
But know that your tests, your trials and scars prevent someone else from a fall
You've been ordained to complete a work for Me, though it may seem hard
The Church has lied to so many, promising ministry will make you a star
In fact, I demand a servant’s sacrifice, hard work and sometimes tears
Yes, I require your entire life - your time, your money and all your years
Death, debt and heartache may come, you may lose all you've got
Following Me is no easy task, I require ALL, not just a lot
A sacrifice is completely burnt up, until even it's composition is changed
Even so you will lose your very identity, operating only in My name
Remember, my child, what you said to me when I asked if you'd give all?
Oh Lord, Did I say "yes" to You? I believe that's what I recall
Yes, you said you’d obey My every command, to please Me in all you do
Godliness with contentment, my child, is what you'll need to get through
So suffer yet a little while, and when this life is gone
You'll see Me and my Son, face to face, pleased and saying 'Well done!'
And tell all the others who are struggling there - martyrs some have become
When one says "yes" to my will and way, it's a struggle not to succumb
Be encouraged knowing your sacrifice is certainly not in vain
For in this life and that to come you have so much to gain
Worship is a lifestyle, not just singing, dancing and prayer
But what you give Me everyday, what you're willing to lose and to share
So I pondered over all God said, and I suddenly felt relieved
Remembering my actual purpose in life is to help others to believe
To understand the Father must come first, even through every test
I guess this is really what I signed up for, the day I told God "yes"

Spiritual Warfare is REAL and Upon Us
To GOD be the glory!
This is a word of encouragement to those of you who have been dealing with very real and tangible physical ailments. Over the last few weeks, many of you have experienced aches and pains, particularly in your joints and bones as well as severe headaches.
God has revealed that a spiritual attack has been released on the Body of Christ, especially those who have made a commitment to preach truth, in the face of politics, religion and tradition. The plan of the enemy is to have you worry and visit one doctor after another, only for them not to know what's wrong. The plan of the enemy is to stress you until to stop concentrating on preaching God's word... until you begin to even question your own integrity.
I hear the questions... How can I pray for others to be healed, when I cannot heal myself? Why are my children suffering these "mysterious" aches and pains? What is it coming from? What have I missed? What have I done wrong?
This attack has angered me in the spirit. As a watchman of God, I am very serious about sharing with the saints any attack that I see in the spirit. People of God, stay on the wall. Remember Job... Remember Joseph. God has NOT left you in this season, so praise God through this and remain faithful. All things are still working for your good. Command your flesh to get in line with the word of the Lord. Most importantly, do NOT give up. Do NOT slow down. Continue crying loud and pressing through.
Be encouraged and be healed!

Are You Tired Yet?
Numbers 25:6-13 (Amplified Bible)
6 And behold, one of the Israelites came and brought to his brethren a Midianite woman in the sight of Moses and of all the congregation of Israel while they were weeping at the door of the Tent of Meeting [over the divine judgment and the punishment].
7 And when Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from the midst of the congregation and took a spear in his hand
8 And went after the man of Israel into the inner room and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel and the woman through her body. Then the [smiting] plague was stayed from the Israelites.
9 Nevertheless those who died in the [smiting] plague were 24,000.
10 And the Lord said to Moses,
11 Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has turned my wrath away from the Israelites, in that he was jealous with My jealousy among them, so that I did not consume the Israelites in My jealousy.
12 Therefore say, Behold, I give to Phinehas the priest My covenant of peace.
13 And he shall have it, and his descendants after him, the covenant of an everlasting priesthood, because he was jealous for his God and made atonement for the Israelites.
How much sin can we see and tolerate in the Body of Christ? Phinehas is the grandson of a priest – one who does not have a title, but understands his heritage and lineage in God. As I read this Scripture, I could imagine the same scenario in modern terms.
There is pestilence in the land. A curse has come upon God’s people because of sin. As the congregation gathers to pray and cry out to God, one named Phinehas sees sin literally walk into the door and decides to take a stand. Oftentimes, in the Body of Christ, it’s so easy for us to turn away. We use prayer and fasting as an excuse not to act or rebuke.
Phinehas decides to react differently. Instead of crying another tear or screaming another moan of lamentation, he takes up a weapon and attacks the sin the midst of the act. He attacked the sin at its root, and killed the perpetrators. Because of his actions, which would be considered nothing more than rebellion in this season, the Bible tells us that God stayed the plague and gave Phinehas the covenant of peace. Not only that, but he has now established an everlasting priesthood.
People of God, this is a season when God is looking for ACTION. Some of us are praying and fasting when God has already requested action and given us the power to resolve the issue. There are some natural things God is looking for from a people who are hiding behind spiritual things. If we would be honest, how can we handle spiritual battles when we cannot even respond to a natural stimulus? Our weapons are not carnal, but our influence is. Oh, who will stand for God after the service is over? When the praise and the worship has ceased, who will make a difference in the world? God is looking to establish a covenant, but He wants His people to DO SOMETHING.
Selah!
So, are you tired yet? Are you tired of church as usual? Are you tired of the same “church folk” mentality? We go to service, we name the name of Christ, yet there is no change. There is a form of religion, but we deny the power thereof, even the power that has been placed within us to make a change. There is a call to holiness, and the TRUTH must come forth in the Body of Christ.
We claim people are cursed because of their refusal to tithe, yet we say nothing about the sin. The Word of God tells us in Deuteronomy 30:19 that we have a choice – blessing or curse. We must cry loud about SIN in general. Going to church and tithing will not reverse the curse of sin. Our priorities must be set in order. Holiness is right. We cannot continue to blink at sin. A remnant must speak out to raise a holy nation before our God.
Are you tired yet? Are you tired enough to take action and make a change? Are the older women ready to train and teach the younger, according to the word of God? Are we willing to put down political correctness, even in the church, and strive for biblical correctness?
We have been given power over sin. Are we tired enough to use it? Then, shall the plague be lifted from the people of God! Take a stand, people of God, and reclaim your Father’s house. We allow too much in the house of God. We allow sin to dictate when and how we will worship, what we say, how we will move. Is anybody tired of it? Is anybody fed up? Is the Holy Spirit vexed within you yet? Amen.

The "HUSH" Anointing
Whether we want to admit it or not, as women of God, we have a habit of talking a bit too much. While it's difficult to remain silent until God gives the instruction to speak, this is something we must really think about and practice.
Proverbs 17:28
Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.
Wow! Many times, we feel disrespected. We feel that people don't recognize our anointings or respect our positions in ministry. Well, I believe the ENTIRE word of God is true. I can speak from experience and say that oftentimes, this disrespect stems from being too "common."
By no means am I implying that we are to be haughty or prideful because we are called. However, we are accountable - to God first, then to men. As instruments of God (especially those of us who are prophets), we must remember that the enemy will use our mouths against us. Why? Blessings and cursing should not flow from the same fountain. Our words often negate the power God has placed in our mouths. Death and life are in the power of the tongue.
When we talk too much, people lose respect. It's a natural reaction. When we run our mouths too much in the world, the people are not as attentive when truth comes across. Our integrity rests on our words and our actions. Amen?
Let's be careful and wise about the words we speak, realizing that EVERY IDLE WORD SHALL BE JUDGED according to the word of God. We must also realize that a good ambassador is a trusted servant. As our words become fewer, they will also grow to be more impactful and less prone to error.

Why?
Over the last few hours, I have seen numerous petitions, by email, calling for the dismissal or forced resignation of Fr. John Jenkins, the President of the University of Notre Dame. The reason: he invited President Barack Obama as the commencement speaker, and President Obama made comments that some thought to be "pro-abortion."
In addition to this, I've seen petitions to remove members of the clergy due to their beliefs in same-sex marriage. Why?
As Christians, our job is to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Forgive my bluntness, but what good does it do to attack people we disagree with? Does that somehow make us feel victorious?
What about their souls? Instead of trying to take people's jobs, why can't we just be proactive in prayer and evangelism? If we were spreading the Gospel like we should all along, we would not be dealing with these issues anyway.
If we do take their jobs for supporting abortion or same-sex marriage, what's next? What if the "church" began moving to fire liars, fornicators, masturbators? Well, we won't sign a petition for that. Why? Because too many "church folk" are involved in those things. What about slander and fraud? No way the church would want that exposed. Too many ministries love their gossip and enjoy swindling money out of God's people.
As I have been reading and praying about these things over the last few days, God has just quickened a righteous indignation within me. We cannot judge others for our lack of true ministry! Whether we like it or not, people have a right to choose salvation... or not. God is not a respector of persons, and He supports free will. We may disagree, but love must prevail. We are ambassadors, sent to spread the truth. Our job is not to slaughter in anger, because we've missed our spiritual assignments.
Amen?
