GOD IS NOT SILENT. Contrary to popular belief- the infinite God does not only speak when He is spoken to. He is constantly communicating to us. So the question then arises, “if God is constantly communicating to us as believers, why is it that we cannot seem to hear Him”?

Is it that we are blocked from hearing HIS voice? Jesus constantly said this during His time on earth- “ “Whoever has an ear to hear, let him hear”. Natural hearing captures a sound frequency and then translates the sound in our brains. But spiritual ears capture spiritual understanding.

Isn’t it amazing that cell phones have capitalized on the unseen radio frequencies that can be isolated into a phone number so that when you dial a person’s number, you usually get that person and not the whole block. So much can be done with radio frequencies. But the most extensive use has been for communication.

When Daniel prayed, the Bible tells us the prayer was held up. Daniel 10:12 (NET Bible) Then he said to me, “Don’t be afraid, Daniel, for from the very first day you applied your mind to understand and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard. I have come in response to your words. This passage tells that God’s words can be blocked by forces of evil. How, then can we hear the words of our God? Picture it this way. We are stationed on this earth as ambassadors of Christ. We are on a mission but we are also warriors. Therefore, the only way to get on God’s frequency in order to hear His voice is for us to take to our prayer closets. And here in our prayer closets do we begin the assault on the kingdom of darkness by unleashing spiritual warfare in prayer. How best to use the sword of the Spirit than by praying in the Spirit.

Understand this that you are not alone. God is speaking and He wants you to hear His voice. He is our Father and our Keeper. His words have been recorded in the greatest book published- the HOLY BIBLE. And His voice keeps reminding us that He will never say anything contrary to what has been written.  So let’s get on GOD’s frequency to hear His voice within us and to tune in with our spiritual ears to understand His voice.

As warriors in the greatest army, let us listen in for instructions to pursue warfare against the forces of darkness so that the sons and daughters of the Almighty may be set free. The stakes are too high for us to continue walking in deafness to His voice and His frequency. As agents of God, our lives and the lives of others depend on hearing from Him.

Does giving to the local church relieve the believer from their duty to spread the gospel?

We are faced with a dilemma in the modern church. Leaders continue to preach lies concerning tithes and offerings and continue to blackmail believers spiritually for money. Who are we serving? God or mammon? Sometimes you wonder what exactly is being beamed via satellite to every corner of the globe. The gospel of Christ or some other gospel?

Giving is the very foundation of our belief- “For God so loved the world that He GAVE His only begotten Son that whosoever believes on Him should not perish but have everlasting life”. So God gave Himself that we may be redeemed from slavery to sin. But His Giving was not without consequences. The gift of God, while purchasing our freedom- was NOT free. He suffered humiliation, rejection, He was beaten and forsaken and He suffered the death of a criminal- yet without sin.

The point I am making is this- God gave Himself for us but the gospel today has been reduced to giving of money. While there are a few of us “called” into ministry- to be in the spotlight and to run the church, the rest of us are confined to the bench where we are “ministered” unto. We are given the ‘Word” and according to one preacher should not walk out of the church and belch without giving an offering…. Really? Our gatherings have been reduced to how many offerings we can give. In fact, people try to outdo others in giving as if it is a competition.

We have believed a lie. A lie so corrupt while it harbors a few half-truths, it is a deceptive lie meant to strangle the church into a culture of drunkenness and spiritual fog. We have now come to the belief that if we can give to some project, some church or some preacher, that the act of giving somehow relieves us from the duty of winning the lost and from spreading the actual gospel that Jesus can save a sinner from his sins.

So we go to church, become involved in all kinds of activities and give our tithes and offerings to the local church and then sit back and expect God to go out into the community and win the lost. Have we lost our minds? Have we lost our understanding and perception of the word?

We have been lied to. We have been lulled into a slumber that somehow the lost will get saved. We pray for their salvation but continue our lives without a blink. We do not give a tract, we hesitate when a sidewalk preacher actually speaks- (some of the sidewalk preachers though take this same false teaching out on the streets and even have an offering hat to collect funds….unbelievable), we hide our faith, we hide the light of the true gospel!!!

The gospel has been polluted and watered down to be palatable- meanwhile feeding words of encouragement without emphasizing the importance of making a commitment to God and winning the lost. The meaning of sacrifice has been reduced to sacrificial giving of money.

I pray that clarity comes to us and the web of lies fed through the false gospel of prosperity, fame, and fortune will be broken. We need a revival but revival will not come until there is repentance and deliverance from the traditions of men that we hold on to.

We need to shake ourselves free – like Samson- and ask God , even though we have been spiritually blinded in many ways and through many things, to restore our faith and to see clearly. We need fresh understanding, revelation, based on the word of God. And like Samson, we need to kill the things that have separated us from God. Most importantly- dying to selfish ambitions and pursuits and grapple unto the horns of the altar of God and allow the blood of the Son of God cleanse us from our evil ways.

As always “Create in me a clean heart, O Lord and renew a right spirit within me”. Amen

Ezekiel 22:30- And I sought for a man among them, that should build up the wall, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.

August 2016. You would think by the way the media is having a frenzy that Hillary Clinton has already won the presidency of the U.S.

The Donald appears to be taking a thrashing – not only from the Clinton campaign itself, but the media as well as those within his own party. Wow. First off, this type of bashing would throw out any other candidate. All of those who were campaigning against the Donald would have been minced in the Clinton meat grinder. But the Donald gives as good as he gets and more.

I am in no position to question anyone’s faith or belief but this election is a test of who we are as a people and as a nation. We are faced with stark choices. Should we choose a brash self-made billionaire who promises to fix our economy and to give us a country we can be proud of or should we trust a politician whose career is tainted by promises not kept, by lies and scandal – and even worse?

It is my duty as a follower of Christ to pray for my nation and for the leader. However, it is my conviction, that many profess Christ but do not know Him. They support ideas and policies that are far removed from what He represents and what He speaks of in the Bible.

It reminds me of the story of the wild man who lived in the deserts and ate honey and locusts. He was very politically incorrect. He was brash and unshaven. He mocked those in authority and told them the truth to their faces. He called on the religious elite to “repent” meaning they were NOT doing the right thing.Those with power shunned him because his words, his tone and his message made them realize that they had fallen short. This man was John the Baptist- the forerunner of Christ- The voice of one crying in the wilderness- “Make way, Make way for the Lord”.

It could be a coincidence- but the Republican ticket is Trump Pence….sounds like Trumpets. And indeed, listen closely to Mr. Trump- he is sounding the warning to every American. It is as if God is speaking through him- sounding out warning after warning.

There are those whose very power is threatened by his words…. He is shaking up this race. This race is more than a choice for President. It is a choice between hearing the voice of God and not. It is between “repenting” turning away from destruction and heading on the right path. This election is about choosing right over wrong.

My hope and prayer is that the veil over the eyes of this people, the spiritual fog many continue to walk in, would be lifted. To see and to understand- the signs of the times.AND PRAY.

What if the Donald is God’s last warning to us? What if the Donald is being used by God to bring about our enlightenment of issues- to be a forerunner of the last things. God has used strange things in the past to speak to us. What if this is God’s last warning to us as a nation before destruction comes?

Throughout history, God has warned his people about destruction to come. And He is warning us today. A once mighty nation is about to fall if its people cannot rise up and discern the times. A nation that once was a beacon of light has itself become dim and the light itself has darkened. Where are the voices who will cry out for healing, restoration?

THIS IS NOT ABOUT AN ELECTION. THIS IS WAY MORE THAN THAT. THIS IS ABOUT CHANGE AND ABOUT A WARNING BEFORE WE DESCEND INTO CHAOS AND ACTUAL DESTRUCTION.

A message to Israel but so relevant to America- who has followed a pattern of Israel throughout its history.

Ezekiel 22:23- 31 (KJ 2000 version)

Son of man, say unto her, You are the land that is not cleansed, nor rained upon in the day of indignation.There is a conspiracy of her prophets in her midst, like a roaring lion tearing the prey; they have devoured souls; they have taken the treasure and precious things; they have made her many widows in her midst.

Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned my holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and the common, neither have they shown difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them. Her princes in her midst are like wolves tearing the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain. And her prophets have daubed them with untempered mortar, seeing false visions, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus says the Lord GOD, when the LORD has not spoken. The people of the land have used oppression, and committed robbery, and have oppressed the poor and needy: yea, they have oppressed the stranger wrongfully.

And I sought for a man among them, that should build up the wall, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none. Therefore have I poured out my indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I recompensed upon their heads, says the Lord GOD.

Get Ready America! If we will not hear God and turn from our ways-Repent then we will face a judgment just as Israel did in the days of Ezekiel.

MY PRAYER IS THAT WE WILL HEAR YOUR VOICE O LORD AND TURN FROM OUR WAYS. I PRAY FOR OUR NATION AND OUR PEOPLE. LORD, I PRAY FOR TRUE REPENTANCE AND FOR DELIVERANCE FROM THE ENEMY.

What is that smell? it seems like the BS in this country has risen to a level that the stench is either nauseating or welcoming.

Nauseating? If you are fed up with the crap being fed to us by those in government, those in the media and those who has allowed the love of money to ruin their humanity, then the current conditions will make you nauseated. So much so that you will want to puke at the sight of more BS. This is the reason why many have decided that they want change. Change or bust! We are so far down a road that this last fork is the only hope to either turn away from the cliff of financials and economic ruin or just head straight towards the cliff with a grin on our faces. It is reality!

Welcoming? Well, if you like the way things are going, like the fact that we are headed down a path of self destruction but would rather listen to fairy tales of birds chirping and butterflies flying, if you would rather see the blue sky rather than the gathering dark ones, if you refuse to make preparations for the tornado of disasters about to hit this nation and would rather enjoy the moment.. then by all means the BS is a welcome smell.

The media has tagged Donald Trump as “dangerous”. Really? who is more dangerous- a person who lies continually to the American people or someone who tells the RAW truth? Someone who spins a story to win an election or someone who really tells the RAW truth even if it means losing popularity.

I don’t know about you, but I would think that the deceiver who spins reality into a web of lies is the more dangerous one and really cannot be trusted. What happened to truth, honesty, integrity and justice? Donald Trump represents all of this and for this he is branded “dangerous”. Wow! I think we have all just lost our minds. If we elect a liar- then we, as a nation must do some soul searching. We cannot teach our children to tell the truth, we cannot expect truth in our relationships, our homes and in our schools. Truth is the fine fabric that knits a nation together. With Truth comes trust and the ability to respect one another. Without Truth – we have no future. It is all chaos.

I for one am ready for that change. Not the change lies of politicians who really lie about change intending to keep the status quo, but true change designed to benefit the people of this great nation.

Wake up America! History is about to be made!
