Why?

John 9:31
New King James Version (NKJV)
31 Now we know that God does not hear sinners; but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does His will, He hears him.




I have heard people make comments about “if God exists why would he allow children abductions and natural disasters?”


It is never God’s will for a child to be abducted or natural disasters to rip through the land, HOWEVER if those who ask these questions would believe in Him and read His word, you would see that man has free will, has power in their tongue, demons exist, we are born sinners, and must repent/bind/cast down thoughts/imaginations.


For example if your child runs towards a lit fireplace and there is a small see through barrier in front of it,  knocks it down and sticks their hand in the fire and gets burned, do you blame the barrier for allowing the child to be burned? Or do you re exam your approach and make change in the way you teach your child about safety?


God is that barrier in front of the fireplace preventing you from being harmed by life’s circumstances, yet unbelievers and some believers knock Him out of the way and then blame Him for not protecting them when they were ‘running’ towards danger -even though they have no relationship with Him and ONLY call on Him when they are in trouble.


On another note…children under the age of accountability are at the mercy of their parents or guardians, it’s up to the guardian to protect them, pray over them and guide them by the word of God, if the guardians doesn’t do these things let alone believe in Jesus they have left several ‘doors’/opportunities for ANYTHING to happen to their family-the child automatically goes to heaven while the guardians are left to get themselves together.



He LOVES us soo much that He gave His only begotten son to die on the cross for ALL of us and yet people sit up murmuring and complaining about Christianity and how God doesn’t prevent ALL the bad in the world. We all have to take accountability for the world that we live in and bind the enemy and close every demonic door-but until then we will have crimes happen natural disasters in which the enemy uses to his advantage. 

Guard Your Tongue

Proverbs 13:3
New International Version (NIV)
Those who guard their lips preserve their lives,
    but those who speak rashly will come to ruin.


Watching what we say is one the most challenging tasks to do as a Christian, but it is so important to do. The Lord has given ALL of us, as human beings, the ability to speak forth things in to existence, because of this-whatever we will come to pass.



Phrases like….

“It’s to die for”

“I’ll die without…”

“I’m going crazy”

“I was worried sick about…”

“I can’t live without…”

“I always have a problem with…”

“I can never figure out how to…”

“I’m always broke”

“No one appreciates me”

“I can never fall asleep”

“I will never be good at…”

“I’m just a weakling”

“I’m such an idiot”

“I always get anxiety when…”

“I’m so sad that…”


And so much more…



All of these words speak ‘death’ in to our lives, because these words represent the things we don’t want to happen or become a part of us. Who would actually give their life up for a fudge brownie?? Then why say “this brownie is to die for”


We must catch ourselves and even others, whether they are believers or not. We can’t be the reason that we have reoccurring issues in our lives because we jokingly or nonchalantly use words that we don’t believe.

Tongues


Acts 11:1-27
New King James Version (NKJV)
Peter Defends God’s Grace
15 And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, as upon us at the beginning. 16 Then I remembered the word of the Lord, how He said, ‘John indeed baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’ 17 If therefore God gave them the same gift as He gave us when we believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I that I could withstand God?”


There are different ways to receive the Holy Spirit. Some churches may say you can only get it by saying “Jesus,Jesus” nonstop until you start speaking in tongues, others say you have to lay hands on the person, and some say that you already have the Holy Spirit in you when you confess Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.

You have to openly invite the Holy Spirit to come in you and the initial evidence of it is the ability to speak in tongues. Some people may not want the infilling for the Holy Spirit, but they have to know that with the indwelling comes power-power to perform miracles, heal the sick, raise the dead, to pray the things that you don’t know to pray and so much more. There is no reason not to yield to the Holy Spirit and ask Him to fill you with the evidence of speaking in tongues.


Acts 13:1-3

King James Version (KJV)
13 Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.
And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.


Another way to become filled with the Holy Spirit is to have someone like a pastor or another believer to lay hands on you and pray for the infilling. This is just another way to receive the Spirit.



Others may receive it when they’re alone in their room praying. Just know that the Holy Spirit has to be invited in in order to have that power and to speak in tongues, which also leads to the development of the fruits of the spirit…

Daddyless Daughters


I watched a program about daddyless daughters and it resonated with me. To be a daddyless daughter doesn’t ONLY mean that your father was not in your life at all, but it also includes those who had their dads in their lives whether they were raised in the same house, had an outside the home relationship or would see or talk to their dads  every once in a while.


My father was there but wasn’t present as a dad. A dad is someone that shows love, care, protects, encourages, shares wisdom and provides for their children, whether they are with their childs’ mother or not. You can never stop being a dad, you can only become a present dad doing the best he can or be an absent father.


This is why no matter where we are or what our relationship is like we will always have a Heavenly Father.
A man in the program said that a dad’s role is to provide, nurture and guide.


The Lord has provided life/breathe, He loves us and encourages us when we are down and when we are up, as well as given us His word-the ULTIMATE guide for how love others, ourselves, how to handle all situations and how to prosper.


Jesus is the ONLY person who will be consistent to no end, He doesn’t change His mind, be persuaded by a new wife or girlfriend, He remains the same ALWAYS.



Because God is the same yesterday, today and forever! Which is something that NO man, no matter how great of a father, husband or boyfriend is, God is the ONLY one that can be what He says.

Illuminati In The Church


Illuminati symbols on Christian music album covers has popped up in recent years. What has been even more shocking, is the fact that many mainstream Christian artist use back masking in their music.


For those who aren’t familiar with back masking- it is hidden messages embedded in music that when played in reverse the lyrics say something different from what was sung when played forward.
Here is a link to some Christian Music Back Masking





Example of Christian Artists’ Album




Above is the album art for a popular Christian artist, Tobymac whom used a single eye very much like the All Seeing Eye or the Evil Eye. This doesn’t necessarily mean that this particular group are illuminati members however you have seek wisdom before listening to any artist Christian or not. The fact that Satan was the head of music in heaven does not mean that he won’t be the head of music in the earth- that includes ALL genres and countries. I have to be watchful of even the Asian pop music that I listen to. 

End of Days


Daniel 8:16-18
King James Version (KJV)
16 And I heard a man's voice between the banks of Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision.
17 So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man: for at the time of the end shall be the vision.
18 Now as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep on my face toward the ground: but he touched me, and set me upright.



There have been several prophecies that have already been fulfilled. We are even closer to the end than ever before.

In the documentary “The Daniel Project” the Christian filmmakers hired a skeptic to go through all the prophecies in order as they have been fulfilled along with the scriptures that back up each event. This was an awesome film to watch and learn that there have been so many other prophecies that were being fulfilled that I wasn’t even aware of.


2 Timothy 3:1-5

New International Version (NIV)
But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.


As with the passing of legalizing gay marriage and prior, the legalization of former illegal drugs amongst MANY other laws and practices that have been approved of in the past several years, this ALL has been prophesized.


So as believers we cannot be frustrated with these changes all we can do is pray about it and not compromise our beliefs to accommodate the changes of the world as so many believers have done.
