BACKSLIDING HAPPENS WHEN WE TOLERATE THE SIN THAT JESUS DIED FOR Jesus told us to repent for our sin which means to turn from it and follow Him. Obey His instructions. When He ministered to people He said to go and sin no more. What happens if we refuse to obey Jesus and the Bible? To tolerate sin in our lives and not separate ourselves from iniquity. ““Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’” Matthew 7:21-23 NKJV “Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness. And you know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin. Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him. Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is…

ARE WE KNOWINGLY OPERATING OUT OF GOD’S WILL HOPING TO ESCAPE CONSEQUENCES FOR OUR ACTIONS?  Written by Mindy Schuman For all that is in the world-the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life-is not from the Father but is from the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.  1 John 2:16-17 NKJV   As Christians there are times when, whether it be in obedience to God’s written word or distinct direction from the Holy Spirit, we have clear instructions from God about His will concerning a situation we are facing. Knowing and doing the will of God should be something we are continually conscious of in our daily walk with Jesus. Essentially, scripture teaches us that knowing the will of God is of utmost importance to the true believer and doing His will is the evidence of believing.   And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect. Romans 12:2 NKJV…

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…

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…

MANY OF US HAVE MADE IDOLS BEFORE GOD Most people have some idol that they have made before God but many don’t realize it. Any person or thing that consumes your thoughts, words, time, energy, or money other than God can be an idol. Making an idol before the Lord can give demons legal rights to negatively affect you with sickness, cost you money that you waste on the idols, cause you to be tired and exhausted and allow witches’ curses to land on you and affect you with headaches, sleep paralysis, pain, insomnia, etc. So what could be an example of an idol in your life? - Lust for money - Lust for power or authority - Your job or career - Your image - A person (even your spouse - especially if they have the Jezebel spirit as they want you to do everything they tell you over what God would want for you) can also include your child or family - Your body and clothes that you wear (wanting people to lust after you) - Working out excessively - Excessive desire for Cosmetics or plastic surgery to cause others to worship your beauty - Car - House…

THE LORD IS CAUSING SPIRITUAL EARTHQUAKES TO CLEANSE HIS CHURCH The church has been infiltrated by people who have risen to positions of leadership including pastors, prophets, teachers, intercessors, deliverance ministers, worship leaders, security, etc. who have been living fake lives trying to impersonate a Christian when in reality they are living in violation of the Bible. They have been living lives in much sin, sexual impurity, pride, lies, deception, gossip, controlling others, listening to demonic spirits, etc. God has given them much time to repent but they have refused and continue to live in their evilness, sexual impurity, corruption and sin, hurting people worse who were already wounded. So the Lord has been forced to expose their pride, sin and lies and is now separating many in His church who have wanted to live a godly life away from those who are still living in sin. God is causing people to leave unhealthy churches whose leadership is leading people to stay in their sin with their hyper-grace messages. God is shutting down many churches (churches are closing in record numbers) whose leadership compromised their own lives and turned a blind eye to others living in sin, emotionally abused their…

ARE YOU LIVING A LUKEWARM OR RIGHTEOUS LIFE FOR JESUS? Most people who are church attenders today would fall into the category of the Lukewarm church according to Revelation 3:14-22. They continue to live a life of sin with lust, porn, masturbation, sexual impurity, anger, gossip, bitterness, and pride. Making idols of food, sex, alcohol, sports, money, politicians, their job, social media, movies, songs and bowing down to sinful people, lukewarm church leaders in sin, ungodly organizations and companies. Most don’t have any conviction in their hearts for their sin and don’t see any need to ask for forgiveness or repent to God because they have been taught by their pastors that grace covers all their sin and they don't need to repent anymore. They want to appear to be godly in front of their church friends but then live like the world the rest of the week. ““And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write, ‘These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God: “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are…

The enemy knows that both men and women have a desire to be loved emotionally but also have sexual desires that when not kept between husband and wife in the context of marriage can have devastating effects on people and especially ministries.  Therefore we must all be vigilant to live a life that is holy and righteous before the Lord or else the enemy will use our sin against us to come against our ministry and cause people to become disillusioned, angry and to look upon us as hypocrites.  Sexual sin is one of the main devices that the enemy uses to come against godly people (the other device is financial corruption) as it causes guilt and shame between the two people who committed it, confusion and anger for those who have relationships with the two people and anger and desertion for those who were following them whether in ministry or distant relationships. So now more than ever we must live a consecrated life of righteousness and be sexually pure as Satan wants to bring down anyone and everyone whether you are in ministry or calling yourself a Christian.  The Lord has shown me and others in ministry to be…
