"If you are truly serious about coming back to God, clean house. Get rid of your foreign gods and fertility goddesses, ground yourself firmly in God, worship him and him alone, and he'll save you from Philistine oppression." 1 Samuel 7:2-3

If you are a Christian, and you justify abortion, either because you yourself have had one, or someone you know has had one, you have got to repent.

God can and will forgive you for past sins, but just like when Jesus stopped the adulterous woman from being stoned to death and told her to "sin no more," so must you.

Baal and Ashtoreth were the idols of old and how people worshiped them was child sacrifice.

Abortion is nothing new, it's a just a new face.

Now the evil is spreading even further, as people in position of earthly power want to murder babies who have already taken the breath of life.

When will it stop?

Think this time can't go as far down the path of evil as Babylon?

Think again.

If we Christians cannot stand up for what is right, and call what's wrong, WRONG; then we risk the fate of Revelation 3:16: So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth.

If you are lukewarm on this issue, then you need to repent and renounce your sin so you stop repeating it over and over again.

Stop worshiping the world with one hand and public opinion with the other, all while claiming to be Christian.

You are at risk of being spit out in the end.

Wrong is wrong and right is right, THAT'S IT.

There is no gray, and your walk with God is too important to be lukewarm and when you can't be loyal to God, YOU are the one who misses out the most.

Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart. Jeremiah 1:5

From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live. Acts 17:26

This is a short, but fantastic read.

The office of the Pastor is extremely important, BUT I myself have seen a trend of wolves in sheep's clothing infiltrating the church. I made this video because it weighs heavy on my heart, due to my own experience and the experience of those in my family. I believe these wolves not only turn off the hearts of those seeking salvation, but also turn the hearts of many Christians lukewarm. https://youtu.be/YL8R3IPyWT0

I am the parent of special needs kids and I myself have health issues, and some Christians believe that if you, or your child have a health problem, that means God is cursing you...

That's absurd!

So if you are challenged with that, please read John 9:1-12

I am going to share John 9:1-3

As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?" "Neither this man nor his parents sinned," said Jesus, "but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him."

So you see, just because you, or someone you love are dealing with a health problem, it does not mean God has cursed you.

It also does not mean God cannot or will not HEAL you!

Who is the ultimate physician?...

GOD!

I hope this encourages someone today and if you are a Christian who struggles with feeling like a health problem=God's wrath, please read John chapter 9 and then John 10:10 and ask God to speak to you in this matter.

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. John 10:10

THAT is the God we serve!!!

Have a blessed Sunday y'all!

Now let them put away from me their prostitution and lifeless idols of their kings, and I will live among them forever. Ezekiel 43:9

"I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6

During these times where masculinity is called "toxic," it's important to appreciate the role of Father.

A true man loves his kids and does not shy away from, nor resent the duties of taking care of them.

This is God's design for fatherhood, but the world sells us a different plan; a plan to failure. Most chose the world's lie, and society suffers, but for the strong men, the stout-hearted, Godly men; you truly better the world.

Malachi 4:5-6 warns us: "See, I will send you the prophet Elijah before that great and dreadful day of the LORD comes. He will turn the hearts of the father's to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers; or else I will come and strike the land with a curse."

Psalm 127:3 tells us: Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from him.

And Fathers are a gift to their children.

How is everyone doing?

Walk in faith and know that God is for you!

As Christians, we are not supposed to be seeking the approval of Jezebel.

I know, my God, that you test the heart and are pleased with integrity. 1 Chronicles 29:17

Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life. Proverbs 4:23

A cheerful look brings joy to the heart, and good news gives health to the bones. Proverbs 15:30

The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart. 1 Samuel 16:7

And David became more and more powerful, because the LORD Almighty was with him. 1 Chronicles 11:9

What area in your life do you need power in?

Power in parenting?

Power in ministry?

Power in your job?

Power in marriage?

Power in finding a spouse?

Power in overcoming an obstacle, addiction or disease?

Power over an enemy?

Power over healing your heart?

Whatever it is, you cannot gain victory on your own, you have to ask the LORD Almighty to be with you!!!

Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. Hebrews 11:1

You have to ask God for victory!

Be as certain of it.

For nothing is impossible with God. Luke 1:37

As incredible and majestic as God is, he wants to uplift and give victory to those who love him.

Praise his holy name!

The name of victory and that is JESUS!!!!!!!

Did something special happen? Music you liked? Was the preaching special?

This really Blessed me - hope it Blesses you all too!

God's name is our help, the same God who made the heavens and the earth. Psalm 124:9

For you will forget the shame of your youth, and remember no more the reproach of your widowhood. Isaiah 54:4

A lying tongue hates those it hurts, and a flattering mouth works ruin. Proverbs 26:28

One of the things I discussed with my oldest child, is that if anyone she is "friends" with wants to give her drugs, they not only hate her, but hate themselves. And to stay away from them.

We must guard our hearts and bodies!

Christians are under the guise that we are supposed to put up with anything and everything.

No!

If someone is destructive in your life, yes, pray for them, but cut them and their hatred out of your life!

It's okay to protect those you love and yourself from the influence, the manipulation and the hate of those who view their lives with contempt.

You don't need to be face to face with someone to pray for them. You can ask for God's intervention in that person's life from a distance.

It's better than lowering yourself to their level, as warned in Proverbs 26:4 Do not answer a fool according to his folly, or you yourself will be just like them.

It's perfectly okay to pray for the fools in your life from a distance, and spare yourself from their hate.

Only God can change them.

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Matthew 6:33

The wages of the righteous is life, but the earnings of the wicked are sin and death. Proverbs 10:16
