Perilous Times Continues to Rise

5Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. Jeremiah 1:5

15But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace, 16To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood: Galatians 1:15-16

WARNING!!!

IF YOU ARE 17 YEARS OF AGE AND UNDER, WE ASK THAT YOU GET PARENTAL CONSENT BEFORE VIEWING THE LINKED SITES. WE ARE IN NO WAY PROMOTING THESE SITES MENTIONED IN THIS ARTICLE, BUT ARE INFORMING THOSE WHO ARE IN SEARCH FOR THE TRUTH. MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS US IN OUR WALK OF FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS...AMEN!!!

Good day to you folks. I pray that all is well with you all on this beautiful day in the Lord. I haven't sent out one of these in coon days (as the country folk would say), but know that I have been fine and well and STILL trusting in the Lord. I write to you all because of some news needs to be spread to inform the body of Christ about the things that are transpiring.

First, on April 4-25-08 there is going to be a "Day of Silence" at majority of the school in America. This organization has been formed by the GLSEN (Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network) and the USSA (United States Student Association). The agenda is to push to promote the homosexual and transgender lifestyle in our public schools. Their website is tips, facts & history of the organization and surely shall confuse our youth and adults who not sure about who they are. The key to this "Day of Silence" is for other students to ask those who are quiet why are they quiet. This will allow that individual to state their purpose and talk about homosexuality being normal and that they were born that way...which we all know that is a lie. These folks even provide manual? Perilous times continue to rise.

Secondly, someone informed me of this site called Teen Wire that is sponsored by Planned Parenthood...who receives 1.2 billion dollars in funding each year. This site strong encourages our youth to engage in sexual intercourse with other or with themselves or both. One disturbing article is called Penis: An Owner's Manual, in which they state comments like:

"Chances are that either you or someone you know has a penis. Having a penis can be fun: it's hanging out, not hidden in the body; it's easy to play with; and it even lets us pee standing up. But sometimes having a penis can be downright annoying. Let's take a look at some of the big issues concerning young men and their penises."

and....

"Most guys masturbate by wrapping their hand around the shaft of their penis, like a fist, and stroking it up and down. However, there are many ways of masturbating, and it can be done with or without a partner. Masturbation has had a bad rap for centuries. Happily, those days are long gone, and masturbation is considered normal and healthy for people who have penises — and people who don't!"

PPH also states on this site that the Teen Wire site is a site for "Sexuality and relationship info you can trust from Planned Parenthood® Federation of America." These are some drastic times and parents and all caring and praying adults must be informed.

In the article I'm Pregnant ... Now What? They state the following:

If It's Positive ...

"If your test is positive, a clinician will need to perform a pelvic exam to feel the size of your uterus. This is to estimate how long you have been pregnant.You have three choices if you are pregnant. You can choose to have a baby and raise the child. You can choose to have a baby and place the child for adoption. Or you can choose to have an abortion and end the pregnancy."

And in the article Birth Control Choices for Teens they state:

Outercourse

"If you choose outercourse, you need to know that for some people, outercourse is sex play without vaginal intercourse. For others, it is sex play with no penetration at all — oral, anal, or vaginal. Some people also believe that any kind of penetrative sex play is too risky to be called "safer sex." But many people sometimes have oral and anal sex — to avoid pregnancy or to "preserve their virginity."

Lower-risk forms of outercourse include

Kissing — Many people explore different ways of kissing. They may also explore kissing different body parts.

Masturbation — Many people enjoy touching their own sex organs. It's the most common way to be sexual. Partners can masturbate alone, together, or watch each other. They may hug and kiss while they do it.

Erotic Massage — Many couples touch and rub each other's sex organs using their hands, bodies, or mouths.

Body Rubbing/Frottage — Many couples rub their bodies together — especially their sex organs.

Fantasy — Many couples can read or watch sexy stories or pictures together. They can also share or act out sexy fantasies. People do it in person, on the phone, surfing the Internet, or through e-mail or instant messaging."

23For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you. 24God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; Acts 17:23-24

We definitely have to start taking a stand to the activity that is going on in the this world that continue to corrupt and corrode. Sex to destroy this generation is the plan for our youth...this is one of many ways Satan has planned to attempt to destroy the church. Abortion is key, especially for the black church (which is why Planned Parenthood was originally created in 1921 formerly the American Birth Control League), to cover up the sins of the folk in the church. You see, founder Margaret Sanger hung with Nazi folk and inherited the hateful spirit toward blacks. She knew that they black churches were living in adultery, fornication, etc. and knew that they needed a way to cover their sins. You see a bishop, pastor or elder of the church who got someone pregnant needed an outlet...what better way to cover up you sexual sin than to get an abortion. This has spread throughout the entire church and folk are afraid to preach or just speak up about it. You see Sanger had folks to believe in her creation and took lives of many children to cover up a night time of pleasure. Help us God! Saints let us not be ignorant to the things that are happening in this world. Somebody has to say something...is it you?

15Did not he that made me in the womb make him? and did not one fashion us in the womb? Job 31:15

Folks knows that God is still in complete control no matter how bad the situation may be. Folk looking for change on Obama and Clinton...I'm not political, but my votes go to folk to are against abortion, homosexual marriages and don't hang with Opra (she's still promoting New Age religion)...more on her later. Obama and Clinton support both agendas...and yes, civil union means marriage in the eyes of God Mr. Obama.If you would like to know more about what school is supporting the Day of Silence go to www.missionamerica.com/agenda.php?articlenum=78 or just www.missionamerica.com. Let us watch as well as pray. Be blessed on this day and know that Jesus loves you and I love you all too.

8Thine hands have made me and fashioned me together round about; yet thou dost destroy me. 9Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay; and wilt thou bring me into dust again? 10Hast thou not poured me out as milk, and curdled me like cheese? 11Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and hast fenced me with bones and sinews. 12Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit. Job 10:8-12

They Don't Know Better - Part II

18He who speaks on his own authority seeks to win honor for himself. [He whose teaching originates with himself seeks his own glory.] But He Who seeks the glory and is eager for the honor of Him Who sent Him, He is true; and there is no unrighteousness or falsehood or deception in Him. John 7:18 (Amplified Bible)

The Spirit of God warned me that this Christian walk was not going to be easy…especially the messages that He is giving me to bring to the people. I thank God for my spiritual elders, who continue to be a light for me during this awesome and challenging time in the Lord Jesus Christ. Many people in this world look to get noticed by any means necessary, but God only exalts those who humbles themselves and exalts God only. The world (Egypt) continues to show us why they are of the world. As time gets closer for the return of Christ, we must make sure we’re surrounded by the love and support of other believers in Christ, who truly hear from the Lord. (Through His Word and His earthly elders, not audibly). Many folk in this world don’t know better…do you?

We start this series with the apparent saga of this young preacher boy I spoke about over a year ago. This young man’s name is Minister Terry Durham, a nine year old twin boy from Florida who started ministering at the age of two (his brother plays the drums for him). AT THE AGE OF….lets move on. Terry stated in an interview that he told his grandmother he wanted to preach, so she got together along with some unconfirmed pastors and ministers and began grooming this little boy to preach. By the time he was six, he was ordained as a minister. Now I know I am going to get some folks to tell me that I’m hatin’ on an anointed nine year old and that I should not touch God’s anointed. I say HA! Hear me out first. Many folk in this world don’t know better…do you?

8 year old Terry Durham preaching at this service. Where are the men?

I am not saying that the boy is not called and chosen by God to preach. I am not saying that this young man is not on his way to be a great man of God some day. I am that someone needs to get in there (the churches) and tell these ignorant pastors and preachers that God is not pleased about going outside His plan before He says its time. Where is this boy’s father to lead him appropriately in his young life? Never mind that question. The lad is not ready to preach…especially in this vicious time that we are living in now. Please read this attached articles at your leisure to know where I am going with this. Also, go to http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=3780266&affil=kvue in order to see some of the ministry foolishness I am talking about.

Little Terry sounds like a prosperity preacher. Not good!

Jesus said, "I didn't make this up. What I teach comes from the One who sent me. Anyone who wants to do His will can test this teaching and know whether it's from God or whether I'm making it up. A person making things up tries to make himself look good. But someone trying to honor the One who sent Him sticks to the facts and doesn't tamper with reality. It was Moses, wasn't it, who gave you God's Law? But none of you are living it. So why are you trying to kill me?" John 7:16-20 (The Message)

These eyes and hears of mine have seen and heard some of the most disturbing forms of ministering (whether it be prophelying, misinterpretation of scripture, etc.) in my seven years of Christianity. I’ve seen and heard folk be totally off of what God is saying to His people and they don’t care. In this little boy’s case and many others, folk try to groom them too fast too early. Then next thing you know (I am seriously praying that this does not happen.) this young boy and many others could get burned out well before they were suppose to even start and loose faith in the very God they were suppose to be hearing from. Many folk in this world don’t know better…do you? There’s another young boy being promoted named Samuel Boutwell (7), he reminds me of Dennis the Menace…just looks like he can get into all kinds of trouble. I’ve seen numerous clips and articles on other young aged boys preaching. I cannot believer that there parents/guardians are placing them on this petal stool this early in their lives. What makes me so frustrated is that these boys are being sacrificed in order for the parents to get some selfish satisfaction out of it. Folk don’t know better.

Young Samuel Boutwell sounds good, but seems to be sacrificed for fame.

Jesus’ statement in this scripture is stating that He did not receive His teaching from the rabbis, nor did He fabricate (falsify) His teaching. Jesus’ teaching came from God Himself. Many folk will say, “Jesus preached/taught when He was nine years old”. Jesus was the only nine year old who was 100% God and 100% child…I believe this is an exception. The test of a teacher, preacher, pastor or prophet is whether or not he delivers God’s message the way God wants it delivered. Jesus gave God’s message the way it was suppose to be brought, as well as many other great men of God in the Bible. I know of some great men and women who deliver God’s message accordingly and I know some who may be off task, and I know this based on the Word of God and the instruction of my pastor and spiritual elders. This pastor thing continues to come up for some reason.

If we are to live this walk for Christ correctly, we must make sure that we crucify this flesh daily in order God to use us for His purpose. Young Terry needs to be allowed to be a child and not pressure to bless folk with anointed milk and cookies…what does this child know about trials and tribulation. God can use anybody and anything, but when there are plenty of adult elders to train the youth…God will use the youth in His timing. Little man even has a myspace page showing all of his holy shows at churches he “ministered” at. Grown folk talk about preach preacher…just ignant. If you go to his website http://www.ministerterrydurham.org/, you’ll see a clip of him preaching and photos from various stars. I don’t have a problem with folk taking pictures with other folk, but with the unfruitful? I guest if you can’t tell the difference between fruitful and unfruitful then it must be alright. Kelly Price, Terry Crew, Tommy “Tiny” “Debo” Lister and John Hagee (somebody need to run now)? But the thing that gets me with T. Durham, is that on the “Terry Durham” tab, their selling (or getting ready to) DVDs of the lad preaching, laying hands on folk and possibly anointed folk with holy milk (I’m being foolish, but serious). And all this is AT THE EXPENSE OF AN INOCENT CHILD!!! Many folk in this world don’t know better…do you?

31The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests exercise rule at their own hands and by means of the prophets. And My people love to have it so! But what will you do when the end comes? Jeremiah 5:31 (Amplified Bible)

Remember the story of Marjoe Gortner, there’s a documentary on him and how he staged his entire routine in the church. Now don’t be a fool saints, this still is going on and Marjoe just busted it up. The things that hurts the most is that folk that know it is false preaching still love hearing it.

Marjoe Gortner vs. Samuel Boutwell? Sad to even think.

Although many true warriors for God expose the lies that proclaimed men & women of God spit out of their mouths…the people still love hearing them in order to fulfill their desires of being told about their breakthrough, season, miracle and harvest. As long as they preach a "feel good" message them I’ll continue to give money to get money. If folk start preaching the True Word of God and start letting folk know their faults and selfishness as it pertains to God, the people will send their money elsewhere…AND STILL GO TO THEIR CHURCH!!! HA! HA! HA! I laugh in disappointment because this has gone on for years and it is hardly mentioned. Folk don’t know better.

Continue to lift up the blood stained banner of Christ and pray for one another, including your enemies. If we look to the hills which our help comes, we know it will and does come from the Lord. Join me in praying a powerful covering over these young boys and others who are thrown in the fire without being prepared and discipled for it. Be blessed on this day and know that Jesus loves you and I love you all too. Until the Sequel of Jesus.

Deteriorating Leadership

30An appalling and horrible thing [bringing desolation and destruction] has come to pass in the land: 31The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests exercise rule at their own hands and by means of the prophets. And My people love to have it so! But what will you do when the end comes? Jeremiah 5:30-31 (Amplified Bible)

I pray that you all are well in the will of the Lord on this beautiful day in the Lord. I truly have been blessed in my growth in the Lord, haven’t you? We’re in the middle of September and there’s a whole heap of stuff that has happened in the body of Christ. Before I go on let me just say that I don’t…I mean I do not condone any type of abuse on anyone. I do not believe that abuse is biblical, but there seems to be something that is not right and I have to ask questions.

Some events happened in 2007 that has shaken the foundations of the churches. Events leading up to the media making the Bible seem like an ordinary book. More questions arise about the validity of God’s Word based on the evidence(s) of the Bible and also the life of today’s Christian. There have been times that folk of high platform status has had the opportunity to make a statement for God, but has crumbled into some type of shut mouth shell when it comes to speaking out the truth. We have deteriorating leadership going on and it seems like few folk are saying something about it.

I’m not a person to gossip so I’ll just state what seems to be fact from the media and myspace pages. In August Pastors Thomas Weeks III and Juanita Bynum-Weeks took a nasty turn in their marriage. There was a physical altercation that ensued and sister Juanita suffered the most out of it…physically speaking. Stay with me cause I’m going somewhere with this. Here are two individuals who are high in the pastoral popular area, a couple that had a million dollar wedding on television, and a couple who was “ordained by God” to help “expand the kingdom”. This took a turn for the worse has Weeks beat the snot out of his wife. This is not a joking matter, this is what happened. How has leadership deteriorated from this experience?

Folk have been scared from the ministry of the Weeks…just because of what happened. I can guarantee that at least a couple of folk (a whole lot more but I’m only guaranteeing a couple) lost their faith in Christ because of this domestic violence. There were some folk who were looking for hope in the Weeks’ and their hearts have been crushed. See saints, let me just say this before I move on, GOD HATES DIVORCE!!! PERIOD!!! There’s no way around it. I’ll use this analogy I learned in August before the Weeks/White drama unfolded. God created the marriage for unity, growth with your spouse, display for kindly affection for your spouse and working together to build up the kingdom of God. Women are the backbone of the marriage; they are backbone of the church as well. The men are the covering of the bone, and we are to cover and protect that bone by any means necessary. Men are not supposed to be harming part of the bone if they are one body. But if the covering (skin/man) is injured and weak…then the bone slowly and surely begins to break. As a man begins to lose focus of protecting his wife by getting hooked on porn, thinking of himself, lusting at other women or men…he begins to slowly break down the character, and the backbone capabilities of the woman.

One of my questions during all of this is way has no one said anything about this to the point of, “Hey let’s get some counseling.” Our leadership in the church is depleting and no one asking why or holding up the standard for which we are called to do. Where are the elders of the Weeks’ and the Whites’ to step in and kindly counsel them about their trials and tribulations? And then their allowed to go into the pulpit and continue to preach lies unto the people…and the people still love it. We are at the stage where many ears are itching for the lies and are ditching the truth. Shall we continue to lead the world in divorces, children out of wedlock, fornication, etc? God forbid!

I’m just getting warmed up, but this has some church couples thinking that their marriage might not last because the Weeks’ didn’t or the White’s didn’t. I pray that the Spirit of God can reconcile their marriages and that people of God (some of them) stop looking at man and actually look towards the Lord in all that they do. Man will fell us, but God never will.

Again just getting warmed up here, pray with me. Be blessed on this day and know that Jesus loves you and I love you all too.

Until the Sequel of Jesus,

Jodie McGarity Jr.
