Approved or Disapproved? Part II

4No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. 2 Timothy 2:4 (King James Version)

I pray that all is well with you all on this blessed day in the Lord. I pray that everyone had a blessed weekend and that no one was disappointed in the results of the super bowl. Both teams deserved to be there, and the better team deserved to be called NFL champions. Oh my Lord, I sound like this pastor that preached a football message on this past Sunday. SOMEBODY PRAY FOR ME!!!

Before I go on to our message this today I would like to mention what pleased me about Sunday's game. It wasn't about Peyton Manning (Colts quarterback), or Brian Urlacher (Bears linebacker). It was after the smoke cleared. After all the tackling, fumbling, intercepting, running, kicking and coaching was over...God was acknowledged. Indianapolis Colts owner, Jim Irsay thanked God and talked about the emphasis of godly principles placed on the Indianapolis organization. Coach Tony Dungy talked about, how the team was taught all season, to go through the storms during their season. Dungy also stated at the beginning of the interview with Jim Nantz that they did it "the Lord's way". It was good to hear...I say it WAS GOOD TO HEAR!!! (For more click on www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=54098). The media, I'm quite sure, did not want them to get spiritual during this time in Miami. After all, it’s the Super Bowl; shouldn't we talk about more important things other than God brought us through? It's a good thing they didn't mention Jesus on live television...OH LORD!!!

I call your attention to some exposing anti-Christian worship in the body of Christ. God has informed me through prayer, His Word, meditation and guidance from my elders that these days will negatively intensify when it comes to the Word of God. This past Sunday, February 4, 2007 was not only the 41st Super Bowl, but it was also the sixth annual Spirit Bowl. What is the Spirit Bowl? The Spirit Bowl is when a church(s) gathers together and dress in football attire from football jerseys, to helmets, to cheerleader outfits, to referee outfits, to hats, to footballs cheer & chants. You name it, the Spirit Bowl church(s) got it. This sixth annual Spirit Bowl was hosted by none other Greater Mount Zion Baptist Church in Austin, TX. They are pastor by Gaylon Clark and have approximately 4,000 members. I'm not "hatin", just stating the facts. My co-worker has no clue what I do in the body of Christ (then again maybe she does), but she asked me the meaning of having not one but three Super, I mean Spirit Bowl services. As always, your boy has some exclusive public evidence that will support what the Word of God tells us not to do. If you click on www.news8austin.com/story.asp?ArID=178753 you will read what some of the comments are. If you click on the video link you will see the sad display of false worship for yourself. I also have photos from last year’s event.

What Lies Beneath exists because the people need to know who the wolves are, disguised in sheep clothing. If you don't tell the people who the wolves are, they won't know and will risk being deceived by their lies. Some folk may think that nothing is wrong with this type of behavior. The Word of God says that certain individuals are tied to their selfish (fleshy) desires and become numb to God Word. Do you think God is pleased with this type of behavior? Does the Lord approved of this insult to Him in the sanctuary that is supposed to be built for Him at many of our church like Greater Mount Zion? Did you all hear the brother state that an individual enjoyed the service and loved the football themed message, GOT SAVED (???) and joined the church? What did he get saved from? Will he be delivered from his afflictions through a football sermon? Will the lost soul be found because of Pastor Clark adding the Colts/Bear rushing statistics for spiritual references (I heard his sermon)? Will people get saved because of the Spirit Bowl? God forbid!

Saints, we are all called to be soldiers of the living God, through Christ Jesus. We have no time to be concerned about the cares of this life. I remember in Luke 8:14 where Jesus said, "And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection." We must check ourselves daily to see if we line up with the Word of God. But don’t do your own spiritual evaluations…ask your pastors, elders and strong Christian brothers and sisters. How about asking those old mothers and fathers, who have that deep discern gift (we still have some of those folk around ya’ll).

I've said this before; I truly believe that majority of the folk that are exposed started out truly loving the Lord and doing things according to the will of God. But Satan, the hounds of hell and the sinful lust of the flesh, overcame the very innocence they had for God's love…and snatch God’s Word out of their hearts, and they allowed it to happen. Is it too late to gain that back? No, not at all. But folk have to be able to overcome their lustful desires and truly repent, I say TRULY REPENT, seek the face of God, turn from their wicked ways in order to be delivered and healed by the blood of Christ. These days we have folk pouring oil down folks' throats to be delivered from cigarettes. Juanita Bynum-Weeks wanting folk to send their hard earned, live savings, other ministries' finances (from the individual's tithes and offering) for an anointed prayer cloth from her and her ministry. We must know that God does not approve of this demonic nonsense.

When will Christians become Berian believers? Who? The people of Berea always went home after sermons were preached and studied the Word of God to see if the preacher was real or a snake.

11These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. Acts 17:11 (King James Version)

If your pastor/shepherd does not encourage you to search the Scriptures for you to better understand where he is coming from, search them for yourself anyway, and don't be surprise if the Holy Spirit is leading you to follow another ministry that is led truly by Him.

Before I go, please pray for some dear people to me and know that my prayers are with you as well. Pastor C. Wayne Bowser, my dear sister Kyshia Savage, Sis. Rachel Hill, Evangelist Gino Landin, my uncle Pee Wee in South Korea, my brother and sister James and April McGarity, Alton & Melissea Huff, Marcel & Erica Smith and a young man by the name of Anthony Williams (who has Sarcoma, a cancerous tumor in his leg). I pray that the Spirit of God overcomes each and everyone of us to do His will, according to His purpose. Be blessed on this day and know that Jesus loves you and I love you all too.

Approved or Disapproved?

15Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 2 Timothy 2:15 (King James Version)

I pray that all is well with you on this beautiful God created day. How are you doing on the 31st day of 2007? Still standing firm in Christ? Still holding on to the hand of the Lord? I trust that you are and I continue to pray for each and every one of you. Do you ever think about God being pleased with your walk, or do you assume that He is happy with everything that you are doing? Do you go to the elders of the church and asked them how are you are doing in your walk, or do you assume that you are approved by God no matter what anyone says. So far this year, I have been meditating on God’s Word in 2 Timothy 2 about showing myself approved to God. I’ve also wondered (of course) if those with the same “Christian” title wonder the same thing about themselves.

I witnessed some highlights from this past Sunday’s celebration of gospel (shown on BET). I thank God for allowing me to find what I needed to see on my research sites and did not have to waste my time (or someone else’s) sitting on the couch being brainwashed of the false ministry that was being displayed. Before I go any further, let me just state that those I expose based on God’s Word are sent up in prayer by me and others I communicate with. So if I’m exposing their behavior, I’m definitely praying for them. I may not agree with or support their ministry, but I am praying for them out of the love of Jesus Christ. Back to the message.

There were footages that I witnessed from this flesh party (called Christian) that reminded me of the mess I witnessed as an unsaved lad growing up in church. Folk stating things that should have been kept to themselves. Steve Harvey looked very foolish many times during the commercial breaks, trying to justify for his lack of timely Christian growth. Harvey also showed signs that he’s not done with his dirty humor/ as he brought it on BET on Sunday. Various groups looking sad, artists trying to out sing each other instead of singing in unity. I am not a singer, but I don't think that you can combine lead singers that have the fame that they already have. And only one of them is a gospel artist (who dances secular). Look at what I am saying.

AND their walk does not line up with the Word of God, if they are not in true connection with the Holy Spirit of God…then I’m not trying to partake in the supper that they are eating. Too many times folk in the church are trying to do things to fast and refuse to listen to the rest of the instructions that God has given them. They hear the Lord say (through His Word and confirmation from their assigned pastor) “prepare to do a divine task”. But folk ignore the “prepare” and begin to “do the divine task” without ever PREPARING for whatever it is. Steve Harvey had no business hosting the Celebration of Gospel the past seven years (he bragged about this on this show) because he was never prepared spiritually to do this divine task. But ignorant pastors and Christians have influenced Steve Harvey and many other babe and unsaved artist/entertainers to accept Christ with their lips and have never given them time to accept Christ in his heart. The brother, as well as many other Christians babies need to be sat down, taught with the Word of God and discipled before being place out in the public to minister…folk are setting baby Christians up to fell in their walk.

Being approved means what remains after the testing. If you send metal through the fire to be refined, whatever is left is what’s approved. If you sit a young babe in Christ down, disciple that individual, teach them the Word of God, allow them to see you practice what you preach, allow them to go through some Christian testing trials & storms and continue to nurture them with charity (agape love)…then we can see what is approved by God and allow God to send that individual out for ministry in His timing (folk are forgetting the “in His timing” part). So many times in my walk I have moved too fast before it was time and it was God confirming things through my pastor and spiritual elders that I needed to slow down and stay on course, because I was busting my face in the process. Rightly dividing God’s Word mean being straight forward or “cutting straight” to the Word of Truth, not sugar coating it with feel good message and secular behavior.

God's Truth is the only thing that defines that nature of His Scripture. It is the Light of Truth that shines in the darkness of all lies. Folk who are ministering in any type of way they please should make sure that they handle God’s Word accurately. Failure to do so will very well lead to Divine Judgment (James 3:1). Speaking of this, I feel a part two coming on. I can’t understand why folk think they need a piece of paper to preach the Gospel of Jesus. Nothing’s wrong with having a degree or a license, but this doesn’t make it legit to preach God's Word. Yeah, lets talk about this tomorrow. Be blessed on this day and know that Jesus loves you and I love you all too. Until the Sequel of Jesus.

Divided Over Truth, Not United By Error!

21 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils. 1 Corinthians 10:21 (King James Version)

I pray that all is well with you all on this beautiful day that the Lord God has created on today, let's rejoice and be glad in it . I thank God for keeping me alive so far these 22 days of 2007. I love Him with all my heart, which is the only way I can love my wife, kids, family, you...my Christian family and my enemies. I haven't been out in email land in quite some time, but I am still keeping my eye on Jesus...don't want to drown in stormy water.

Divided by truth and not united by error is phrase that is so powerful, folk cannot run with it. This phrase speaks as a statement from the Holy Bible that people should adhere to. We cannot allow this world (this life) to dictate and control our Christian walk. We are supposed to be the salt and light of the world, but instead many Christians are the meat being salted by the world. On January 28th, BET will host their Annual Gospel of Celebration where they'll have the cup of devils and think they are partaking in the cup of God. On this show they are going to allow Coko from former group SWV (ya'll remember that article), Fantasia (she has a new album out with her new single titled Hood Boy ), Tonex (the pastor cross-dresser) and Lil Mo (who is a provocative harlot and daughter of pastors' Jacob and Cynthia Loving of One Accord Apostolic Church in Glen Burnie, MD). They show will pay tribute to Tyler Perry for his "rag to riches" story and his creation of the plays/movies, especially his creation of Madea (the thought of a man acting as a woman makes me little...). Steve Harvey will be the host again, and the church body has just embrace him quickly since he started saying Jesus...he's never stated he was saved by confession. I also believe that one with celebrity status must be discipled upon converting to Christianity and not given the spotlight for a while...the flesh can get in the way, plus Jesus always AVOIDED fame... ALWAYS!!! Who knows what other secular artist/entertainer might be apart of this event, but I shall be watching and discerning on this Sunday.

Folk who state they love the Lord and they hear His voice need to check their ears and mental/spiritual status. When we (as Christians) partake of the Lord's supper we are united with one another for the just cause to save souls. Paul reminded the Corinthians of the fellowship and unity they had in their participation in the Lord's Supper. Participation in idol worship is a total violation of that unity with Christ. When we mix with unsaved folk, we risk loosing that sincere and spiritual relationship with the Father through Christ Jesus only. How can we allow our flesh to overcome so much that we do not appreciate the sacrifice that Chris made? Let's not only think about Him on Christmas and Easter. Our youth are continuing to gain more rights and authority before they earn it. The government is trying to pass a law that parents cannot spank (whipping/beat for the real folk) their kids or they'll face going to jail (somebody start a bondsman fund for me ). We as Christian must stay ready for what is about to unfold in our lifetime. Quit thinking about ourselves and think about others.

15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 1 John 2:15 (King James Version)

There too much compromising in the body of Christ. So many of our parents are worn out from battling (raising) their children to make the right decisions. Some of this has to do with their spiritual growth, their health (what we eat), and their support system (the spiritual family). I believe that Christians will not, I repeat WILL NOT go to hell. I believe there are some church folk who will go to hell, not all people in the church are Christians. We must divide ourselves over God truth (true unity) and not be united by errors of this world (true separation from God). Satan's plan to destroy us does not stop until we're dead (that's his agenda). So we must make sure that we're prayed up and equipped in God's Word (study the Word) in 2007. If we're weak, run to the elders of the church so that they can pray for you and help strengthen you through the power of the Holy Spirit

I would like for you all to get a better since of where I'm coming from (if you don't already know). This clip is from Southern University Interdenominational Mass Choir in Baton Rouge, LA back in 2005. You'll notice that this clip is all flesh fest, but particularly pay attention to the guy in the red suit at the bottom of the screen . Also, notice the musical cut that they go into towards the end of the clip. It's the music to Tupac's California Love , in which he made popular upon getting out of jail...this song was released in 1996. I'm sure some of you will laugh at this choir and brother for their ignorance and how foolish (knowingly or unknowingly) they look. This is a very sad scene to be honest, please pray for folk like these.

Be blessed on this day and know that Jesus loves you and I love you all too. Until the Sequel of Jesus.

Promoting Evil

11Take no part in and have no fellowship with the fruitless deeds and enterprises of darkness, but instead [let your lives be so in contrast as to] expose and reprove and convict them. Ephesians 5:11 (Amplified Bible)

Blessings to you all. I pray that all is well with you all on this day in the Lord. I thank the Lord for all He continues to do in our lives. I heard something during our Christian Education two weeks ago that was confirmation on this message for today. One of my sisters told her testimony about a guy she saw at the store asked her about church (pastors, church she goes to, etc.). Well to make a long story short, after they conversed about "Christian things", this man then asked her if she would like to be in a R&B video. Obviously, after I did a little research, I realized that this brothers goes to lukewarm church in Austin, TX, and the pastor of this church allows homosexual to have position in his ministry. We Christians are so gullible that it makes us out to be weak and hypocritical. I want to talk about a Praise The Lord piece I saw on TBN several weeks back that had a slew of secular artists on there and it made me sick to my stomach and needs to be address. They are promoting evil.

The following folk were on TBN on November 13, 2006, if I'm not mistaken. I'm glad I saw this after I ate my turkey.

Patti Labelle

We all know that Patti Labelle has a voice that will even make Charles Manson cry. But her ways and her agenda is allowing gospel artists to show their true colors by allowing folk like Patti Labelle, sing to God's supposed people. I say suppose because if you see someone like this trying to minister to you when they're not God ordained, you should just get up out of your seat on walk out of there. But the crowd was grinning and rocking the entire time, because their favorite secular artists have momentarily crossed over to the Christian side. Ms. Labelle (I still respect my elders) stated that she has finally come out with a gospel album titled The Gospel According to Patti Labelle. She also has a gospel tour that she is currently on and many church folk are buying the tickets to allow her to minister to them. Who's ministering to you? That's not all. Ms. Labelle stated that she was not going to stop singing secular music. Now we're talking about a lady who continues to show her chest and legs at her age. Ms. Labelle also stated, throughout the program, comments about her achievements...hardly any God and no Jesus mentioned in this two hour circus from Patti Labelle. And Christian folk, including Bishop George Bloomer (the demon caster outer) allowed Patti Labelle and others talk some gibberish to them. Ms. Labelle stated that that she hoped that the Christian would except her now that she has made a gospel album. Bishop Bloomer stated, "They already have". WOW! They are promoting evil. I think I'm starting to get sick again...NEXT!!!

Angie Stone

This is Angie Stone, who is a neo soul artist, was on there talking about a lot of god, but no Jesus. I say god because Angie Stone believe that the black men are gods and the black women are goddesses. The songs that she sung (as well as the other artists) mention nothing about Jesus Christ. But yet, folk will think that I am crazy for exposing people like Angie Stone, Lauren Hill (somebody's mad now), and many other neo soul artist. Now they have Christian soul or neu soul music, imitating the very culture of secular neo soul artists display. Somebody has been bringing in the Amelekite paraphernalia in the house of the Lord. They are promoting evil.

Lee Ryan

Here's the guy that I love. Lee Ryan. This man sung a song that did not make any since when it comes to singing songs to the Lord. This man admitted that he IS NOT A CHRISTIAN!!! On TBN with not hesitation. Lee stated that he believes in God and just because you are not Christian does not mean you can't have a relationship with God.

Now Bishop Bloomer should have gotten down on his knees and ask God for the Holy Ghost to introduce Lee to Jesus Christ. This brother has no relation with the Father. Jesus stated that no man can come to the Father except they come through Him (Jesus). Here's a little link to his that shows he does not know what he's doing. TBN made this boy and themselves look like fools in God's eyes. There should have been no way they would allow Lee to sing on TBN when he is not even believer. Help us God. www.lee-ryan.org/index2.php


Kelly Price

Kelly Price is another one that stated that she is not going to quit singing secular music. This is the same sister that sang the remake song of Shirley Murdock's As We Lay, which talks about straight adultery. She stated that God is using her to reach those that the church cannot reach. Kelly also went on a preachy rampage trying to justify her position (gospel/secular) for God using her for His glory..."god" was mentioned, but still not Jesus. In addition to these folk they had Dave Hollister, Kenny Lattimore & Chante Moore in attendance to minister in song. They covered up some of this mess with some old time church song from homosexual Bobby Jones. TBN was rocking with sin ya'll. They are promoting evil.

3Do two walk together except they make an appointment and have agreed? Amos 3:3 (Amplified Bible)

Kelly Price, like many have been enabled in, which means that folk with "prominent" church stature and popularity status talk about these folk and allow them to minister to people of God...or supposed people of God. Randy & Paula White allowed R. Kelly to minister in sing at their church a couple of years back. T.D. Jakes states that he's Usher's "spiritual covering" and communicates with many other secular/unsaved folk by allowing them minister to lost souls at his Mega flesh/mess/incest/fest. Juanita Bynum-Weeks and Yolanda Adams brought Kelly Price, Sheila E. Now you have proclaimed men and women of God stating that God is using secular artist to reach the lost. I remember mama telling me not to let the blind lead to blind. We cannot agree and fellowship with folk that do not love the Lord and heed to His commandments.

10If you keep My commandments [if you continue to obey My instructions], you will abide in My love and live on in it, just as I have obeyed My Father's commandments and live on in His love. John 15:10 (Amplified Bible)

As this world draws to a close, we must continue to make sure we are adhering to the full will of the Lord. We must not assume that God approves or condones the things that we do. Folk are being led astray, with no guidance from the true and living God. We justify for things too much as Christians when it comes to calling things, assignments and ministries of God. This world is perverse and we must truly line up with the Lord and allow the Holy Spirit to lead us away from this counterfeit revival that is being promoted.
