WHAT ARE THE MOTIVES OF YOUR HEART?

WHAT ARE THE MOTIVES OF YOUR HEART? Why do you do what you do? Have you ever thought about it? The Bible has a lot to say about the motives of our heart. A motive is the underlying reason for all of our actions. Proverbs 16:2 says, “All a person’s ways seem pure to them, but their motives are weighed by the LORD.” Because the human heart is very deceitful (Jeremiah 17:9), we can easily fool ourselves about our own motives. We can pretend that we are choosing certain actions for God or the benefit of others, when in reality we have selfish reasons. God is not fooled by our selfishness and is “a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart” (Hebrews 4:12). Human beings can operate from a variety of motivations, often negative. Pride, anger, jealousy, selfishness, revenge, a sense of entitlement, or the desire for approval can all be catalysts for our actions. Any motivation that originates in our sinful flesh is not pleasing to God (Romans 8:8 “So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.” ‭‭ God even evaluates the condition of our hearts when we give offerings to Him (2 Corinthians…

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TRUE VS FALSE REPENTANCE

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TRUE VS FALSE REPENTANCE When people continue to live in sin after they have repented for sin indicates what their true freewill wants as they simply do not truly want to change from their sin. Many take God’s grace for granted as they believe they can continue to live a sin filled life and not have any consequences for it. That is not true. Habitual sin will have consequences and then God’s grace will eventually run out. Judas stole money from Jesus when they had people make donations to their ministry as they ministered throughout. “But one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, who would betray Him, said, “Why was this fragrant oil not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?” This he said, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the money box; and he used to take what was put in it. But Jesus said, “Let her alone; she has kept this for the day of My burial. For the poor you have with you always, but Me you do not have always.”” ‭‭John‬ ‭12‬:‭4‬-‭8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ Judas eventually betrayed Jesus to have him…

HAVE YOU CONSIDERED THE HIGH COSTS OF NOT GETTING DELIVERED?

HAVE YOU CONSIDERED THE HIGH COSTS OF NOT GETTING DELIVERED? It is amazing when you think about all the money that a person wastes when they have soul wounds and are not delivered from demons. When we get hurt and wounded growing up through our parents, relatives, neighbors, friends, etc we will hear demonic spirits whispering to us to drink, smoke, do drugs, overeat, have sex outside of marriage, try to look like a supermodel or play like a professional athlete and then spend lots of money on all these endeavors. We also have relationships and marriages with people who are unhealed and have demons which cost us more money spending it on frivolous things and enduring emotional abuse leading to additional costs. So have you considered the high costs of not getting delivered? When we are healed and delivered we are able to save money from all these expenses below: - No longer spend money on addictive things like alcohol, cigarettes, marijuana, vaping, huffing, cigars, drugs, food, sex - No longer need to spend on vanity / prideful things such as various expensive cosmetics, fillers, plastic surgery, hair treatments, expensive latest clothes fashion, supplements, etc - Not need to…

THE CHURCH HAS LOST IT’S HEALTHY FEAR OF THE LORD

THE CHURCH HAS LOST IT’S HEALTHY FEAR OF THE LORD “But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession. And he kept back part of the proceeds, his wife also being aware of it, and brought a certain part and laid it at the apostles’ feet. But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the price of the land for yourself? While it remained, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was it not in your own control? Why have you conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God.” Then Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and breathed his last. So great fear came upon all those who heard these things. And the young men arose and wrapped him up, carried him out, and buried him. Now it was about three hours later when his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. And Peter answered her, “Tell me whether you sold the land for so much?” She said, “Yes, for so much.” Then Peter said to her, “How is it that you…

HOW TO RECOGNIZE THE TRAITS OF THE JEZEBEL SPIRIT

HOW TO RECOGNIZE THE TRAITS OF THE JEZEBEL SPIRIT People who operate In the spirit of Jezebel (1 and 2 Kings, Revelation 2:18-23) have all been hurt and wounded as children and teenagers (often by a parent, relative or exposure to porn or sexually violated prior to age 18) and have not been able to truly forgive. The spirit causes them to behave similarly. To get delivered they need to be honest of their bad behavior, forgive all who hurt them, repent for their pride and sin and command the spirit out. To recognize the spirit in a person below are common traits: Jezebel Spirit - Controlling (the demonic voices tell them that their decisions are the best and they can’t trust you or others - they feel if they control other people then they will never be hurt again) - Manipulative (they will guilt you to do what they want - you know if you don’t watch my child so I can go out to an event then I will have to leave them with my neighbor who is not a Christian and they could get hurt) - Anxious / Fearful - Very Jealous - Plays the role of…

YOU CAN DO GOOD THINGS & STILL GO TO HELL IF YOU REFUSE TO FORGIVE

YOU CAN DO GOOD THINGS & STILL GO TO HELL IF YOU REFUSE TO FORGIVE The Jerusalem Post - Priest Gerald Johnson from Michigan claimed to have visited Hell after suffering a heart attack and said the experience changed his life forever. "I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy," he said. Johnson posted his claims in a series of TikToks and claimed that he was sent to Hell in February of 2016 after his heart attack. In one of his more viral videos, which got 3.7 million views, Johnson said that he indeed saw real Hell. "I was there and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. I don't care what he did to me. No one deserves that." The priest from Michigan described the moment when he was launched to the center of the Earth where he says Hell is. "My spirit left my physical body, and I thought I was on my way up [to Heaven]," he remembered. "I thought I did so much good during my life and that I helped so many people, but even so, I went down [to Hell]. I entered the very center of the Earth. The things I saw there…

HOW TO STOP DEMONS FROM GIVING YOU INTRUSIVE THOUGHTS

HOW TO STOP DEMONS FROM GIVING YOU INTRUSIVE THOUGHTS In 2005, the National Science Foundation published an article summarizing research on human thoughts per day. It was found that the average person has about 12,000 to 60,000 thoughts per day. Of those thousands of thoughts, 80% were negative, and 95% were exactly the same repetitive thoughts as the day before. We can see that one of the tendencies of the mind is to focus on the negative and ‘play the same songs’ over and over again. There was another interesting study (Leahy, 2005, Study of Cornell University), in which scientists found that, firstly 85% of what we worry about never happens. Secondly with the 15% of the worries that did happen, 79% of the subjects discovered that either they could handle the difficulty better than expected, or that the difficulty taught them a lesson worth learning. The conclusion is that 97% of our worries are baseless and result from an unfounded pessimistic perception. Demons speak to Christians and non Christians alike every day giving them hundreds and thousands of thoughts to cause them to have fear, anxiety, anger, lust, bitterness, depression, suicidal thoughts. Demons say things to our minds like:…

HEALING & DELIVERANCE RESTORES YOUR CHILDLIKE INNOCENCE

HEALING & DELIVERANCE RESTORES YOUR CHILDLIKE INNOCENCE Children our easy targets for the enemy to hurt as they can’t protect themselves and are innocent. As we grow up we get hurt by people. Hurt by our fathers, mothers, siblings, teachers, church leaders, etc. We get exposed to pornography, touched sexually, molested, raped, nudity which causes demonic spirits of lust, perversion to give us urges to masturbate and have sexual relationships before we get married. We get messed up. We hear demonic spirits give us thoughts hundreds and thousands of times a day. And that includes those who attend church and can pray in tongues. When we are able to forgive all who hurt us, repent for our pride and sin, give the Lord our sexual lust and impure desires then the sexual images and illicit memories are wiped clean from us and we get our childlike innocence back. We become Childlike. We laugh more, tease, have wholesome fun, no longer desire to lust after people or seek out porn or behave in selfish ways. We want to play, exercise, go for walks outside, eat healthy, and we have love in our hearts for others. We are like children again in…

GODLY PEOPLE ARE RISING UP AGAINST JEZEBEL MORE THAN EVER!

GODLY PEOPLE ARE RISING UP AGAINST JEZEBEL MORE THAN EVER! It is happening more now than ever. People are finally standing up to Jezebel in the church, in marriages, in the workforce, in family relationships - even in the secular world. The Lord is empowering people to stop tolerating sin, abuse, lies and they are rising up to calling out the abusers and Jezzebullies more and more every month! ““I know all the things you do. I have seen your love, your faith, your service, and your patient endurance. And I can see your constant improvement in all these things. “But I have this complaint against you. You are permitting that woman—that Jezebel who calls herself a prophet—to lead my servants astray. She teaches them to commit sexual sin and to eat food offered to idols. I gave her time to repent, but she does not want to turn away from her immorality. “Therefore, I will throw her on a bed of suffering, and those who commit adultery with her will suffer greatly unless they repent and turn away from her evil deeds. I will strike her children dead. Then all the churches will know that I am the one…

DID YOU KNOW THE BIBLE SAYS NOT TO ASSOCIATE WITH FAKE BELIEVERS?

DID YOU KNOW THE BIBLE SAYS NOT TO ASSOCIATE WITH FAKE BELIEVERS? Did you know that Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 5:9-13 not to associate with “Christian” believers who indulge in sexual sin (porn, lust, masturbation, fornication), are greedy (selfish), worship idols (putting anything before the Lord like money, power, sex, alcohol, drugs, smoking, gambling, sports, food, etc), are abusive (emotionally, verbally, physically or sexually), drink alcohol to excess, or cheats people and are sinning regularly. Sadly that describes a whole lot of people who attend church today. There are many believers who are living ungodly lives full of sin with fruit of the flesh and have no desires to change and get right with the Lord and obey the Bible. Paul actually says we are to have nothing to do with them. To not even eat with them and that we are to judge those inside the church who are living sinful lives and that we should remove the evil person from among us. “When I wrote to you before, I told you not to associate with people who indulge in sexual sin. But I wasn’t talking about unbelievers who indulge in sexual sin, or are greedy, or cheat…
