REASONING WITH THE DEVIL

REASONING WITH THE DEVIL

Every backslider has tried it, and that's why they are backsliders, every lukewarm believer tried it and that's why they are Lukewarm. If you try it, you too will join them because you are no match for him in your own intellect. Eve was super intelligent above all modern day intelligent persons. Sin had not yet brought her brain power down to 10% of its created capacity as yours is! Yet with her super intellect she was no match for "the serpent who was more subtle and crafty than any living creature of the field which I made. And he satan speaking through the serpent, said to the woman, Can it really be that God has said, You shall not eat from every tree of the garden?" Genesis 3:1 AMP

He always begins with the seeds of doubt, that undermine the key ingredient needed for a relationship, "faith". No relationship is solid, stable or secure without faith. The moment you have doubt about anyone, your relationship with that person is breaking down. No faith equals, no relationship. You can like or love a person but still have no relationship, because you have no faith in them. On the other hand you can not like a person and still have faith in their integrity. My great prophets were not well liked but kings had a relationship with them because they placed great faith in them. 

Hell's number one tool is doubt because he knows that faith is heaven's weapon of mass destruction. He knows that, "without faith it is impossible to please and be satisfactory to Me. For whoever would come near to Me must believe that I exist and that I is the rewarder of those who earnestly and diligently seek Me out." Hebrews 11:6 AMP Hell and the demons of darkness are constantly trying to engage in a mental conversation with them, DON'T DO IT! You are no match for them. If you stay out of the ring you will never get knocked out. I got in the ring 2000 years ago and took away his title forever, so why are you wanting to spar with a looser. 

If you will build a relationship with Me, the eternal champion, by developing 100% faith in Me, you will live a champions life! And in every thing hell try's to throw at you, "you will be more than a conqueror through Me the one who  that loves you unconditionally. [38] You will be totally persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, [39] Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate you from the love of your Heavenly Father, which is  coming through Me, Jesus your Lord." Romans 8:37-39 KJV

Here is what satan fears the most, a human having faith in Me. He knows that "if ye have faith in Me as small as a grain of mustard seed, and not doubt in your heart, you can say to a mountain, move to another place; and it shall move; and nothing shall be impossible unto you." Matthew 17:20 KJV I am giving you fair warning, do not enter into conversation with him, your human intellect is no match for him! He will inject a little doubt and it will knock you out!

THE ONLY THING GOD LOOKS FOR

THE ONLY THING GOD LOOKS FOR

You can forget your fancy buildings, your big stages, your well planned shows, the instruments, your sound systems, your strobe lights, I do not show up for any of it! I show up where there is hungry people. I do not dwell in things, "I turn a wilderness into a pool of water and a dry ground into water springs; [36] And I make the hungry to dwell there, that they may prepare a city for My habitation," Psalm 107:35-36 AMP

I am searching the planet for "they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled with My presence." Matthew 5:6 KJV When really spiritually hungry people gather to be fed, they have lost all interest in time. Those who watch the clock and expect Me to move according to their schedule are not hungry but are religious people who try to fit Me into their program. I wait until they leave to see if there are any hungry people left. Remember I am outside of time, and when I said, "I go and prepare a place for you, that where I am, there ye may be also," John 14:3 KJV it was not only for when you die, but it is place outside of time and space, where you can meet with Me every day in the Spirit.

This is what I have done for you as a hungry believer, I have made you an overcomer, and "I raised you up outside of time, together with Me and made you sit down together giving you joint seating with Me in the heavenly sphere by virtue of your being in Me (the Messiah, the Anointed One)." Ephesians 2:6 AMP As long as a hungry people are being fed there is no need for entertainment, I asking this question to all those who call themselves pastors or shepherds or leaders! Do you love Me? Then forget the showmanship and feed My sheep. Let Me ask it again, do you love Me? Then forget the clock and feed My lambs! Ok let Me ask it one more time, Do you really love Me or do you want to please the people? If you really love Me you will feed My hungry sheep and let the rest go where they will!"  John 21:15-17 KJV

I this point you can truly, sing to Me, "I'm a lover of your presence!!!"

SAY YES TO THE SPIRITUAL MAGNET

SAY YES TO THE SPIRITUAL MAGNET

It does not matter how talented your choir or singers are, it makes no difference what the message is, you can be in a cathedral or a barn, "no one is able to come to Me unless the Father Who sent Me attracts and draws him and gives him the desire to come to Me, and then I will raise him up from the dead at the last day."  John 6:44 AMP When you feel the tug or pull or desire to pray, do it then, because it's the only thing that constantly lets you know you are one of Mine. Without that hunger inside to get to know your creator personally, you will never be sure of your eternity. 

Never ignore the Spiritual Magnet, multitudes do not feel its draw because they have no interest in the life after death. Others have never been prayed for, so the broadway to destruction is at capacity. I will send people, of all ages, shapes, colors, and sizes, to jump start the spiritual magnet, as they tell the good news of My love, but you must respond. Every morning of you life, look for the inner drawing of My Father, it is absolutely necessary to get you through the day as a spiritual success. Remember this: He that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved." Mark 13:13 KJV The spiritual inner magnet is the key to your enduring to the end. Never, never loose it by ignoring it. 

I KNEW BETTER, SHE KNEW BETTER, THEY KNEW BETTER

I KNEW BETTER, SHE KNEW BETTER, THEY KNEW BETTER

That's what's millions have said, So why did you do it? I know your thoughts right now and you would give anything if you could turn the calendar back, and make a different choice, but it's final. Their gone! It's lost! It's spent! It's over! It's destroyed! It can never be replaced! This is because "there is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death." Proverbs 14:12 KJV You see you didn't really know better, but you and they actually thought you were the exception to the rule and would be the first to not suffer the consequences of a bad choice. It is the sorrow of heaven to see Christians suffer needlessly due to a lack understanding. All of the resources of the kingdom are designed to prevent tragedy and are available to believers that will, Trust in the Me with all their heart; and lean not unto their own understanding." Proverbs 3:5 KJV

The problem lies in the fact that most disastrous decisions are made on the spur of the moment without any thought of  "being sober, or vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking those he may devour:"  1 Peter 5:8 KJV She just made a quick run to the store, but that was the last anyone ever saw her? He just wanted to see what it felt like, just one time? We just went out for coffee, it started out so innocent? Oh how wonderful it would be if you could reverse it! Everyone thinks it could never happen to them, and when it does, life is altered forever. 

I have a plan, a plan that is so detailed that it takes into account every step you take from morning til night. Every day, if you ask Me, "I will enlarge your steps under you; so that your feet will not slip." 2 Samuel 22:37  You must understand "the steps of a good man are ordered by personally by Me : and you will delight in the way I take you." Psalm 37:23 Listen the only way you can fulfill your calling is to step where I stepped, "because I suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in each of My steps:" 1 Peter 2:21 KJV

So here is where you need to make the correction in your life. Your moment by moment decisions must never be without consulting My Spirit within you. Before you get out of bed each morning, wait on Me, give Me your schedule and say, "Order my steps in thy word: and let not any sin or iniquity have dominion over me." Psalm 119:133 KJV The past is gone so leave it there, your sin is forgiven and I have forgotten it. Never again "say, Today or tomorrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: [14] Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. [15] From today on, you are to say, If it is My Father's will and the Holy Spirit's leading, I shall live, and do this, or that." James 4:13-15 KJV

When you start this daily practice, every night you will lay you head on your pillow feeling My peace, because you are now seeking My kingdom first, all day long! Matt 6:33

KINGDOM SURVIVAL GUIDE FOR SMALL BUSINESS

KINGDOM SURVIVAL GUIDE FOR SMALL BUSINESS

There is a world wide plan to destroy the small businesses on the planet by either financial suffocation, or the large corporation buy out. The evil plot is based in the antichrist plan to control everything under the new world order. However My kingdom triumphs over the evil one world government in all ways. ... "You have heard that antichrist shall come, and even now are there many antichrists; whereby you know that it is the last time."  1 John 2:18 KJV Allow Me to fast forward and show you the very end of all governments on this planet: "The seventh angel then blew his trumpet, and there were mighty voices in heaven, shouting, The dominion (kingdom, sovereignty, rule) of the world has now come into the possession and become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ (the Messiah), and He shall reign forever and ever (for the eternities of the eternities)!"  Revelation 11:15 AMP

Now that I have shown you the end, let Me show you antichrist's plan to control all finance through business. Here is how he plans to do it: "He will compel all alike, both small and great, both the rich and the poor, both free and slave, to be marked with barcode, an inscription stamped on their right hands or on their foreheads, [17] So that no one will have power to buy or sell unless he bears the stamp (mark, inscription), that is the name of the dictator or the number of his name. [18] Here is where you need discernment, a call for My wisdom of interpretation. Let anyone who has intelligence (penetration and insight enough) calculate the number of the dictator, for it is a human number the number of a certain man; his number is 666."  Revelation 13:16-18 AMP To take full control any dictator knows they must own two things, the money and the guns. 

So now you see the two sides, you can choose to believe Me and overcome letting Me have your business, or avoid the marks as long as possible, and eventually succumb to his power. My survival plan is simple, give your business to Me and let Me run it. When I run your business, it becomes a kingdom business, and you will no longer be in business to make money, but to give it away! That's right and as you "Give, it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your account. The more you give the more comes back to you! For in the same measure that you give out, it shall be given to you again." Luke 6:38 KJV

Many lazy, selfish and greedy persons will line up to take advantage of the giving plan, but I control the giving at all times, that My kingdom might be established in the earth. You will be amazed at the reduced stress level you have as you watch Me open and close doors. You will no longer fight for business but easily flow with My directions, as I change, organize, maintain, cancel, and arrange everything. Favor, favor, favor, on every hand because "the king's heart, the competitor's heart, the inspector's heart, the customer's heart, city council's heart, and anyone you need, is in My hand, and just as the rivers of water: I turn it whithersoever I will." Proverbs 21:1 KJV If I own you business people think they are dealing with you, but they are actually dealing with Me.

My kingdom plan is not to build fancy buildings, but to build the lives of least. I will always invest My money that comes from the business that you turn over to Me, into feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, visiting the prisoner, and the sick!  Matt 25: 31-46 Anyone who try's to stop it, try's to stop Me! Listen friend, this is all going down now with or without you. You have a choice, you either get in to the kingdom business plan, or take your chances that I am a liar, and My word is not true. Any businessman who has truly gives their life to Me, includes their business, because their life is their business. I do not need your money or your business, you need Me to save your business. I want your heart and by that My kingdom will be established in the earth. You can enjoy eternal kingdom benefits both now and later because "there is no one who has given their business to Me or left their house or wife or brothers or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God [30] Who will not receive in return many times more in this world and, in the coming age, eternal life." Luke 18:28-30 AMP

THE BEGINNING AND THE END AND THE SHORT SPACE IN BETWEEN

THE BEGINNING AND THE END AND THE SHORT SPACE IN BETWEEN

Your beginning is celebrated with joy and a birth certificate, and your end is celebrated with sadness and a death certificate. You have nothing to do how or when you enter, and little to do with the end, when you exit, "as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:" Hebrews 9:27 However, how you handle the short space in between is a matter of your choice, that's what I am interested in. How you choose to respond to attack, how you choose to walk in love, and how you respond to those in need, is what is recorded here in the kingdom. When you are under attack, it's very hard to see that you are blessed, when men revile you, and persecute you, and say all manner of evil against you falsely, for My sake. [12] Trust Me, it's only by My power that you can, rejoice, and be exceeding glad at the time: but I can assure that great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you."  Matthew 5:10-12 

You have the choice to defend yourself or stay focused on your purpose and calling and leave your accusers to Me. Here is the test of tests, "you must make it a practice to love your enemies, treat well (do good to, act nobly toward) those who detest you and pursue you with hatred, [28] Invoke blessings upon and pray for the happiness of those who curse you, implore God's blessing (favor) upon those who abuse you, who revile, reproach, disparage, and high-handedly misuse you." Luke 6:27-28 AMP This can only be done with My power, especially when ".your foes are they of your own household. [37] Remember if you love your father or mother more than Me you are not worthy of me: and if you love your son or daughter more than Me you are not worthy of Me. [38] And if you do not take your cross, and follow after Me, you are not worthy of Me." Matthew 10:36-38 KJV

The moment you allow bitterness to enter, you are choosing to lay down your cross and you pick up a sword. Now you must fight your own battle, you have already lost, because placing bitterness in your heart of love was the whole reason for the attack. Always keep looking at the big picture to stay free of the snares of the enemy. "When you are loving Me first and sticking with your purpose, heaven guarantees that all things will work out together, for your good!" Romans 8:28 In the short space in between, your beginning and your end, there is a major issue you will be judged on, let Me set the scene for you: Matthew 25:31-46 AMP

[31] When the Son of Man comes in His glory (His majesty and splendor), and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. [32] All nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them the people from one another as a shepherd separates his sheep from the goats; [33] And He will cause the sheep to stand at His right hand, but the goats at His left. 

[34] Then the King will say to those at His right hand, Come, you blessed of My Father you favored of God and appointed to eternal salvation, inherit (receive as your own) the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. [35] For I was hungry and you gave Me food, I was thirsty and you gave Me something to drink, I was a stranger and you brought Me together with yourselves and welcomed and entertained and lodged Me, [36] I was naked and you clothed Me, I was sick and you visited Me with help and ministering care, I was in prison and you came to see Me. [37] Then the just and upright will answer Him, Lord, when did we see You hungry and gave You food, or thirsty and gave You something to drink? [38] And when did we see You a stranger and welcomed and entertained You, or naked and clothed You? [39] And when did we see You sick or in prison and came to visit You? [40] And the King will reply to them, Truly I tell you, in so far as you did it for one of the least in the estimation of men of these My brethren, you did it for Me. 

[41] Then He will say to those at His left hand, Begone from Me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels! [42] For I was hungry and you gave Me no food, I was thirsty and you gave Me nothing to drink, [43] I was a stranger and you did not welcome Me and entertain Me, I was naked and you did not clothe Me, I was sick and in prison and you did not visit Me with help and ministering care. [44] Then they also in their turn will answer, Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You? [45] And He will reply to them, Solemnly I declare to you, in so far as you failed to do it for the least in the estimation of men of these, you failed to do it for Me. [46] Then they will go away into eternal punishment, but those who are just and upright and in right standing with God into eternal life.

Everything is a matter of choice in the short space in between, I call heaven and earth to witness this day against you that I have set before you life and death, the blessings and the curses; therefore choose life, that you and your descendants may live [20] And may love the Lord your God, obey His voice, and cling to Him. For He is your life and the length of your days, that you may dwell in the land of plenty which the Lord swore to give to you...." Deuteronomy 30:19-20 AMP

THE FAST APPROACHING GREAT DEPRESSION

THE FAST APPROACHING GREAT DEPRESSION

From every corner of society, sin will take it's toll on the earth, men will no longer be able to resist evil when his will is finally overthrown by the rulers of darkness and spiritual wickedness in high places. However, you who have My Holy Sprit ruling your life from within, will "ARISE from the depression and prostration in which circumstances have kept you--you will rise to a new life! Shine and be radiant with the glory of the Lord, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you! [2] For behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and dense darkness all peoples, but the Lord shall arise upon you, and His glory shall be seen on you." Isaiah 60:1-2 AMP

No material goods will lift the depression from the people, no amount of money, not even the best counselors that religion can afford will lift it. The people will search in every sinful place possible to lift the dark depression, and nothing will be considered wrong in that search. No matter how bad it gets, there will always be the light of My Holy Spirit shining out of a remnant that have set themselves apart from the world. The rulers of darkness will hate them with a passion, but remember If the world hate you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you." John 15:18 KJV

There are many who are trapped in this darkness, the reason I left you in the world is that you might, be a ray of hope to them. Because My Holy Spirit is working in you, "You become the light of the world. Remember a city set on a hill cannot be hidden. [16]So Let your light shine before men that they may see your moral excellence and your praiseworthy, noble, and good deeds and they will recognize and honor and praise and glorify your Father Who is in heaven. Matthew 5:14,16 AMP There are times that the spirit of depression will try to attack you, but as you begin to praise Me you will rise above it and overcome it! Remember to always "put on the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness"; Isaiah 61:3 KJV 

Spiritual depression comes from outside influences, but can only be defeated by inside power. It is the trap of the enemy to sell you his outside remedies, to cure the depression that he is causing. Each lying remedy leads to addiction; alcohol, drugs, sex, overheating, and anything that will eventually kill you or depress you further. Any one who creates pain and then profits from the cure, is evil and from hell. Heaven only offers permanent cures, with constant promotion to greater things, all based in a relationship between you and Me. Listen My child, "These things have I spoken unto you, that My joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full at all times, preventing any type of depression from entering your life." John 15:11 

LET THE HOLY SPIRIT DO HIS JOB

LET THE HOLY SPIRIT DO HIS JOB

Almost all believers try to be like Me, but it's not possible, any more than you can change yourself into a chicken or a fish. I can cleanse you from sin, because I paid the price with My own blood, for that to take place. But as far as you being like Me, thats not My job. Even with Me walking on earth as a man, the Holy Spirit gave Me the power you operate in line with My Father. Because I was fully man "I was led (guided) by the Holy Spirit into the wilderness (desert) to be tempted (tested and tried) by the devil." Matthew 4:1 AMP In order for Me to set the example of how to overcome, I had to lay down all My God Power, and demonstrate how a man can be an overcomer with the work of the Holy Spirit. 

You cannot have the Holy Spirit until your sins are covered, this blood covering changes your position from lost to redeemed, that's My part. But your character does not change. If you were a thief before you were saved, that's a character flaw. After you are saved, you become a born again thief! Or what is called a carnal christian. The way you steal my change but but your character is still one of a thief until My Holy Spirit changes your character. You may change your stealing method from robbery to having someone punch out for you, after you have left work, revealing you still have a thief's character. Getting saved is just the beginning, "for you are still unspiritual, having the nature of the flesh under the control of ordinary impulses. For as long as there are envying and jealousy and wrangling and factions among you, are you not unspiritual and of the flesh, behaving yourselves after a human standard and like mere (unchanged) men?"  1 Corinthians 3:3 AMP

Now I want to show you why some Christians act the same and even worse than some unsaved people. If you receive the forgiveness of sin, by answering My call to be born again, but stop there, in your pursuit of the kingdom, you will be a lousy testimony to the name Christ one, or Christian. If you deny the Holy Spirit access to work on your character, your actions, lifestyle and opinions, your walk with Me will be short lived. Because of this, "You cannot be spoken too as I do to spiritual grownups, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in faith. [2] In the beginning you are fed you with milk, and not with meat: for you will not be able to bear it, some of you after years of sitting in church are still now able to move beyond seeker friendly" 1 Corinthians 3:1-2 KJV

Here is the dangerous part, when the trouble comes from the enemy, it's your character that determines wether you stand or fall, not your salvation. If you remain carnal you will die, 

because, "the mind of the flesh, which is sense and reason without the Holy Spirit is death, death that comprises all the miseries arising from sin, both here and hereafter. But the mind of the Holy Spirit is life and soul peace both now and forever." Romans 8:6 AMP Multitudes of wannabe believers fear hell so they pray a prayer, and a misguided soul winner says that's it, now your going to heaven! They leave out the life long, following Me part. They skip over the whole suffering part, the cross bearing part, and say now you are going to reign with Christ. NO! Listen closely to what I said: now "this is a faithful and firm rule: If you be dead with Me (dead to your old character), you shall also live in your new born again Spirit with Me : [12] If you suffer with Me, you shall also reign with Me: but if you deny Me in your lifestyle, I will also will deny you:" 2 Timothy 2:11-12 KJV

The narrow road is not as seeker friendly as many would have you believe. The seeker friendly "Gate is wide and a broad way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:" Matthew 7:13 KJV Here's the bottom line "the time will come when things are brought to a crisis and the period of their fulfillment is near. [11] In the kingdom We say: He who is unrighteous in character (unjust, wicked), let him be judged as unrighteous still; and he who is filthy (vile, impure), in his lifestyle, let him be judged as filthy still; and he who is righteous (just, upright, in right standing with My Father), because the Holy Spirit has been allowed to do His job, let him do right still;  and he who is holy, because the Holy Spirit has been allowed to do His job, let him be holy still. [12] Behold, I am coming soon, and I shall bring My wages and rewards with Me, to repay and render to each one just what his own actions and his own work merit." Revelation 22:10-12 AMP

I am pleading with all those who call Me Lord, Let The Holy Spirit do his job! "How in the world can anyone call me, Lord, Lord, and not do the things which I say?" Luke 6:46 

TIME TO FACE FACTS

TIME TO FACE FACTS

(This writing is in no way designed to make you feel good, but to preform a spiritual reality check, that may save your soul from hell!)

I want everyone to be honest for a few moments and face kingdom facts about yourself. There are some people who love you, some who hate you, and some who can take or leave you depending how you benefit them. Some people have only met you, but most of the 6 billion people on the planet don't know you exist. All these relational facts are true and have so far been very important to you. The first fact is: You by nature will do everything possible to increase the number of people who love you, and diminish the number who hate you. The second fact is: These relational facts have absolutely no value in My kingdom whatsoever! Heaven never asks for references, never runs a background check, or requests a resume. "God forbid: because God is true, and every man a liar, which nullifies every report about you coming from earth; " Romans 3:4 KJV In short, I don't care what people say about you!

Fact number three: It does not matter what the opinions of humans are, because your every thought and intent of your heart and mind from the cradle to the grave are well known established facts in heaven. I know every fiber of your being, I was there when the thought entered your mind, when you mulled it over, and when you did it. And guess what, in most cases, no one saw it but Me. Now fact number four gets more serious: The fact the sin is hidden from those that love you, makes most people breath easier. But it really reveals that you don't believe I exist or at best think I do not know what you are doing. With your mouth, you say all the right religious things to build your good reputation, but your heart is far from Me. Mark 7:6 KJV Fact number five: The truth is, if you really believed I exist and will judge all things, your relationship with people and what they think of you, would never be a concern. Your total concentration would be on what I know about you. 

What you thought, and then did or did not do, was terrible in My sight, but here is the big problem, Fact number six: All those people you have fooled and think you are so great, they thought those same thoughts too. So the people with hidden sin, that I can clearly see, are recommending others with hidden sin, that I can clearly see! What you are all ignoring in this fact number six, is that it includes you and the six billion people on the planet, that will never know you existed, "for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;  Romans 3:23 KJV

Now the major fact that you do not know, fact number seven: Any difference between your reputation and your true character is a lie! When you confess only the surface good things you do, and leave out all the hidden parts of your life, those parts that would tear down your reputation, you are lying by omission! Fact number eight: It is this lie that can damn your soul, because I cannot forgive an ongoing lie. An on going lie makes you a solid lukewarm human being and "then because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew you out of my mouth." Revelation 3:16 KJV Fact number nine: "If you say that you have fellowship with Me, and walk in that lie, then you are lying again, and do not the truth: Stop lying to yourself and everyone else because  If you say that you have no sin, you deceive yourselves, and the truth is not in you. And If you tell all your friends that you have not sinned, you make Me a liar, and My word is not in you.

However there is still fact number ten:  If you walk in the light, as I am in the light of truth, you will have fellowship one with another, and My blood cleanses you from all sin. [9] If you confess your lie daily, I am faithful and just to forgive your once hidden sins, and to cleanse you from all unrighteousness." 1 John 1:6-10 KJV Constantly remind yourself, what people think of me is of no consequence when I die, it's what I know about you that counts for eternity! Make this your daily prayer: Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: [24] And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting" Psalm 139:23-24 KJV and I will answer you and your lie will disappear, and My power will flow in truth through you and you will finally experience the joy of your salvation, that you have heard about. Until then the difference between your reputation and your character will make you miserable!

TITLES ARE EXTREMELY IMPORTANT IN THE KINGDOM

TITLES ARE EXTREMELY IMPORTANT IN THE KINGDOM

Kingdom titles are much different than those used in the religions of earth. Carnal christians and religious leaders took heavens gifts and made positions out of them. These positions ignored the gifts and thus required a title in order to be recognized. This resulted in tens of thousands going to college and university to earn the titles of Pastor, teacher, apostle, prophet and evangelist. In heaven they became meaningless religious titles that make people feel like they have accomplished something on earth and think they have a place of authority in heaven. 

However when I sent them to earth they were simply gifts placed in specifically chosen faithful, humble people. These gifts are special kingdom attributes designed to meet every area of the new born believer. Listen, I gave My church some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; [12] And this was not so a few insecure people could have a plaque on the wall, but they are actually My human tools possessing gifts to be used for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, and for the edifying of My body:"Ephesians4:11-12 KJV

The title holders have forced most of these five gifts to work behind the scenes and they will never be called by these titles. In a group of 200 I will have as many as 10 pastors to mature the other 190.  By not recognizing this fact a few title people are running ragged and their yoke is not easy, and their burden is no longer light like mine. Many of My apostles have been held back and told they are not qualified according to religious educational standards. This has resulted in entire regions having a dead church on every corner, while becoming godless, and walking in darkness. My prophets are muzzled because they refuse to be politically correct, thus much of the church is sin ridden. They are forbidden to call sin, sin, and holiness is now an offensive word.

The word pastor is no longer definable, anyone who can stand and speak about the bible, is titled a pastor, whether they speak the truth or not. If they can get a following they have won the title of pastor. Pastor is the easiest and cheapest title to earn and no longer has any real meaning. However the gift of pastor is life changing and is easily recognizable. My children are hungry and will seek out those that feed them. Look for those that the sheep go to for spiritual advice and nourishment and you will find My pastor gifts. 

You will recognize a title holder by their insistence on you using their title but "whoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted." Matthew 23:12 KJV  People will give you a title by how you effect them and that is honored in heaven because they are recognizing the Gift you are, but if you are insisting on being addressed by a title, you have pride, but you are not the gift. All believers have an order to give honor to whom honor is due, but honor is not shown by the use of a title, but by the heeding of the word that the person speaks. This is why I said, "Why do you call Me, Lord, Lord, and do not practice what I tell you"? Luke 6:46 AMP Honor is shown by obedience, not titles.

You can rest assured that before it's over "I will scatter the proud in the imagination of their hearts. [52] I will put down the mighty from their seats, and exalt them of low degree. [53] I will fill the hungry with good things; and the rich I will send away empty handed." Luke 1:51-53 KJV Titles are important in the kingdom, but there are only two kingdom titles, servant, and friend and only the one position of son. 

 "At first I call you servants, but later I do not call you servants; for the servant does not know what his lord is doing: I call you friends; for all things that I have heard of My Father, I have made known unto you." [14] You earn My friend title, if you do what ever I command you, in your servant title. John 15:14-15 

You earn the first two, but the position of sonship is a gift that is bestowed on you, because of My blood. It is required for everyone to earn the servant title and it is from there, that I pick My friends. The title of servant must be held from the cradle to the grave. Anyone who discards this title, is not fit to minister and will be resisted by Me for their pride, because everyday "I resist the proud, but give a lot of grace unto the humble servant." James 4:6 KJV
