Christian On The Right

I felt the need to share the following with you. I don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings, but I do need to share with you what the Lord has laid on my heart.

Text: Gal. 5:13-15

13. For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.

14. For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

15. But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.

Recently, I have visited some websites that have nothing on them but putting down television preachers. Some of them have some nasty comments about preachers. One of them in particular, has a page telling the reader that “This is not a hate site.” When I saw that, my first thought was, “Well, you could have fooled me.”

Some of these sites are worse than others. I find this situation to be so sad. It truly broke my heart. I am praying for the people who own these websites for God to speak to their heart about what they are doing. I also find it sad that you can go to any search engine and type in “hateful Christians,” and a few pages pop up.

Jesus condensed all of the Ten Commandments into one: “Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.” If you love your neighbor as you do yourself, then you will be obeying all the Ten Commandments. God is love. “He who loves not, knoweth not God” is what the Bible says.

These sites have scriptures that they have picked out to try to back up what they are doing. In my opinion, they aren’t doing it in love. They are hurting the church, and are being a stumbling block to the unsaved, and baby Christians. Your attitudes and the things that you do are sometimes the only Bible that people read.

Jesus taught us about love. He also taught us about forgiveness. Read the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, and reacquaint yourself about what Jesus taught us.

The way that I see it, these people are not showing the love of God when they have websites like this. You can type in the name of virtually any television preacher in a search engine, and all kinds of hateful sites will come up. The proper thing to do would be to pray for the preacher that you have a problem with, and forgive them. There is too much bitterness and strife within the church. Only God’s delivering power can fix the problem.

There are other things that we have to be in prayer about. More important things. Like what is going on in our Governments, and the move to take away our Christian Freedoms. The FCC and our Presidents’ Faith Agenda is quite a scary thing. We need to be united, instead of being divided.

If you don’t agree with what these ministers do, pray for them. What would Jesus do? If you want sinners to come to God, you don’t beat them over the head. You teach them about the love of God and you wait upon the Holy Spirit to draw them in, and you pray for them. If a sinner sees you as being a “hateful Christian”, they aren’t going to want what you have. The people in this world today have enough hate of their own.

There are lots of things ministers do that I don’t agree with. I pray for God to show them and deal with them. “Judgement starts at the house of God.” One day, we will all be judged and give account of ourselves to Him. Don’t be like the world and act like they would. Walk in God’s love, and quit being hateful like the world.

Hebrews 12:6

Whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth.

Leave the preachers in God’s hands. He can deal with them a lot better than you ever could.

1 John 4:8

8. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

9. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

10. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

11. God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.

If you are walking in God’s love, you edify, or build up others. You don’t tear them down. Don’t let the devil use you to destroy others. You have a choice, to either be a healer, (and show God’s love) or to be a destroyer, like the devil is.

Phil. 2:3

Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory: but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than themselves.

Romans 14:13

Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother’s way.

Matthew 18:6

But whoso shall offend one of thes little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

10. Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones: for I say unto you, that in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.

You may say that Jesus was talking about children. Well, if God is our Heavenly Father, that makes us his children. You reap what you sow. If you sow seeds of hatefulness and cause others to stumble over you, then you will reap the same destruction that you sowed.

Luke 6:38

Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured unto you again.

If you want good things in your life, and the blessings of God, follow his teachings. Start sowing good seeds. If I have a garden, and plant corn, corn will come up. I can’t plant corn and get onions. It is the same way in the kingdom of God.

Luke 6:41-43

41. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but perceiveth not the beam that is in thine own eye?

42. Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

43. Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in they brother’s eye.

There are a lot of fault-finders in the church today. If they would turn their fault finding onto themselves for a change, then they would quit sowing seeds of discord that sinners can stumble over. I am not writing this to hurt anyone. God laid this message on my heart, and like the old saying goes, “If the shoe fits-wear it.”

You have a choice-to ignore my words today, or to take this message and apply it to your life. We will all be judged for the things that we do. We are all held accountable for ourselves, not what others do. I don’t know about anyone else, but I want to plant good seeds and win others to Christ. What about you?

As for myself, I plan to pray for those that I don’t agree with instead of having it on the internet and risk having someone stumble over my post. That lost soul may have confidence in the person you are berating. You could cause them to turn away from God and their blood will be on your hands. Think about it, is it worth the risk?

If you are guilty of holding grudges or have any kind of bitterness in your heart, the first step is confessing it to Jesus. Ask him to help you and to heal your deepest hurts, and negative feelings. As Morris Cerullo says “Be a Victor, and not a Victim”.

VMC from the United States needs prayer about problems on her job. Needs a debt cancellation miracle.

AC from the USA needs a new job.

DWT from the USA needs hubby to find a job, and has problems at her job.

Feel free to post any prayer requests that you have below. You can just use initials if you want to.

Have you ever been praying about something and can’t seem to get an answer? You have to be persistant in your prayer life. In God’s time your answer will come.

Text:Luke 11:5-10 LB

Then, teaching them more about prayer, he used this illustration: “Suppose you went to a friend’s house at midnight, wanting to borrow three loaves of bread. You would shout up at him, ‘A friend of mine has just arrived for a visit and I’ve nothing to give him to eat.’ He would call down from his bedroom, ‘Please don’t ask me to get up. The door is locked for the night and we are all in bed. I just can’t help you this time.’ “But I’ll tell you this-though he won’t do it as a friend, if you keep knocking long enough he will get up and give you everything you want-just because of your persistance. And so it is with prayer-keep on asking and you will keep on getting; keep on looking and you will keep on finding; knock and the door will be opened. Everyone who asks, recieves; all who seek, find; and the door is opened to everyone who knocks.”

Persistance and preservation brings the answer. You just have to have faith. Faith can move mountains in your life. Sometimes you have to do something in order to release your faith for your miracle that you need from God.

Sometimes it takes a “prove-me offering”, or fasting and prayer.

These two frogs fell into a bucket of cream.

One frog decided to except his fate, so he gave up, and drowned. The other frog kept on kicking until he made butter out of the cream and he was able to jump out.

Which frog are you? Are you the one who keeps on kicking? Or are you still in the bucket?

The bucket can be your circumstances. In the natural world you have no way out of your situation. The only place that you can go is up, to get out of the top of the bucket. When you look up, God is there.

The Bible says, “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers us out of them all.”

Here is another example found in Luke 18:1-8 LB:

One day Jesus told his disciples a story to illustrate their need for constant prayer and to show them that they must keep praying until the answer comes. “There was a city judge,” he said, “a very godless man who had great contempt for everyone. A widow of that city came to him frequently to appeal for justice against a man who had harmed her. The judge ignored her for a while, but eventually she got on his nerves. “‘I fear neither God nor man,’ he said to himself, ‘but this woman bothers me. I’m going to see that she gets justice, for she is wearing me out with her constant coming!’” Then the Lord said, “If even an evil judge can be worn down like that, don’t you think that God will surely give justice to his people who plead with him day and night? Yes! He will answer them quickly! But the question is: When I the Messiah, return, how many will I find who have faith [and are praying]?”

Prayer Request from
Jesus, for the church.

I was reading the Bible the other day, and these scriptures jumped out at me. Text: Matt. 9:36-38

Matt. 9:36 KJV
36. But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.

First of all, you have to have compassion for people. Jesus had compassion, and he took the role of leadership over the people.

It takes the love of God to win souls for His kingdom. You have to have a heartbeat for souls. If you don’t have the desire, pray for it. Ask God for His Heartbeat for souls.

Verse 37-38

37. Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous; but the labourers are few;

38. Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that we will send forth labourers into his harvest.

Our prayers must be for a harvest of souls, as well as labourers to reap the harvest. We have plenty of opportunities to pray for people to be saved. There isn’t any shortage there!

We all have unsaved loved ones. Sometimes you have to pray for someone to come into their lives to lead them to the Lord. There are people who can have more effect on someone, because sometimes we are too close to the situation.

When we pray this prayer, we have to have the willingness to be part of the answer. It involves our willingness to respond to the call of the Lord on our lives.

Not long after Jesus made this prayer request, he commisioned his disciples and sent them as labourers. (Matt. 10:1) The very ones who Jesus commisioned to pray became spirtual harvesters themselves.

Praying this prayer can have a tremendous effect on your life. It is a submission to Him to do His will. When you are walking hand in hand with Him, then that is when you have His peace and Victory in your life. You are most miserable when you aren’t in His perfect will.

I challenge you to pray for Jesus’ prayer request, and see what He does for you in your life. You have to get on His team. Look at the word, TEAM. There is no I in it.

I feel led to pray for the people who are reading this.
Father, I ask you to move on the people to pray about your prayer request for your church. I ask you to give them a spirit of prayer, and the willingness to be a labourer in your harvest, even if it means they are just a prayer warrior for your kingdom. I pray this in Jesus name. Amen.

Separation of Church
And State
Something to think about and pray about. Are you about your Father’s Business?

Luke 2:40-42
And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him. Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover. And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast. And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it. But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day’s journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance. And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him. And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions. And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers. And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.
vs 49. “And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? Wist ye not that I must be about my father’s business?” And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them. And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart. And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.

No matter who you are, or what you do, if you are a Christian, you have a job to do for God. You are never too young or too old to work for him. We all have a job to do. In the above text, Jesus was 12 years old, and he realized that he must be about the Father’s Business.

How do you know what God wants you to do? You have to pray and trust Him to show you. Get the word into your heart, and ask him to open up spiritual things to you.

Read the following article:

GOJRA, Pakistan — The blistered black walls of the Hameed family’s bedroom tell of an unspeakable crime. Seven family members died here on Saturday, six of them burned to death by a mob that had broken into their house and shot the grandfather dead, just because they were Christian. New Your Times

We all need to pray for our fellow Christians in Pakistan and in different countries. It could easily happen here in our country.

The Separation of Church and State that threw out prayer in our schools could easily change this country into one that we don’t recognize at all. Already, our country has forgotten God. Hell is enlarging itself daily. Abortions are rampant. This country was founded on Christian Principles and is now being led down a path of destruction.

God holds us accountable for what our leaders do. He judges us as a nation. If our leaders don’t do right, our country doesn’t get His blessings. He always has victory for His Children. The Bible says that “many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers us out of them all.” It is our responsibility to pray for our leaders and to vote for Christian Principles. We already have a President who goes overseas and says that we are not a christian nation, but a nation of citizens.

The atheists are launching movements to put signs on buses that tell people you can be a good person without God. They also are suing to have God taken out of our Pledge of Allegiance, and have “In God We Trust” taken off the buildings around Washington.

Our Children are taught Evolution in school instead of the creation of the world by God. The Ten Commandments aren’t allowed in any public buildings. Think it not strange that our economy is in the tank. I never thought that I would see where Americans are starving and can’t find a job anywhere. Some have lost their homes, and are living in vehicles, and tents.

God needs His People to stand up for what they believe in. It doesn’t matter what denomination you are, the Church of Jesus Christ needs to unite and pray for this great nation of ours, and for other countries. Time is short, and if you are going to do anything for God, now is the time to do it. You may never get another chance.

We must be about the Father’s Business. We must unite and pray for the world. Already in the USA a hatred of Christians is growing. It is even in the Main Stream Media. The devil has rocked the church to sleep. God needs us to become prayer warriors for His Kingdom. We have to put on the full armour of God, and stand on his word.

They say if you leave your cell phone charger plugged in without your phone it is using electricity. In the same way, we need to get on God’s charger and stayed plugged in to Jesus. We must be about our Father’s business. We are promised that if we humble ourselves and pray, then God will heal our land. We have to do it.

When the disciples came together in the upper room, when they all prayed with one accord and with one mind, then the Holy Spirit came. I believe it is the 11th chapter of the Book of Acts.

Take inventory of your life. Ask yourself if you are praying and reading the word like you should. Are you doing what the Lord would have you do? Are you doing your Father’s business?

Are you giving to God on Holy Altars?

Exodus 29:38-42 KJV

38. Now this is that which thou shalt offer upon the altar; two lambs of the first year day by day continually.
39. The one lamb thou shalt offer in the morning; and the other lamb thou shalt offer at even:
40. And with the one lamb a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth part of an hin of beaten oil; and the fourth part of an hin of wine for a drink offering.
41. And the other lamb thou shalt offer at even, and shalt do thereto according to the meat offering of the morning, and according to the drink offering thereof, for a sweet savor, an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
42. This shall be a continual burnt offering throughout your generations at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD: where I will meet you, to speak there unto thee.

The Burnt Offering represents total surrender to God. The Hebrew word for Burnt Offering is “Olah”, and it means “that which ascends.” The offerings, the priests, (the sons of Aaron) and the altar were consecrated and set apart as Holy.

The word altar is translated from the Hebrew word, “mizbeach”. It signifies a raised place where a sacrifice was made. Old Testament saints built altars unto God to commemorate whenever God appeared to them, or they received a revelation or made a vow.

The offering was totally consumed by fire on the altar in the Temple by the priests. The fire on the altar was not a natural fire, it came from God.

Lev. 9:23-24

23. And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of the congregation, and came out, and blessed the people: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto all the people.
24. And there came a fire out from before the LORD, and consumed upon the altar the burnt offering and the fat: which when all the people saw, they shouted, and fell on their faces.

Through the blood of Jesus, we are sanctified and made holy unto God today. The tithes and offerings are Holy, and the altar must be Holy also. The ministry and the Church must be Holy also.

When the offering was accepted, the fire came out from before the Lord. That was a sign that the offering was accepted. We don’t do these kind of offerings anymore due to Jesus Christ being our sacrifice.

Are your offerings acceptable unto God? Are you giving on Holy altars? Is the ministry that you give to, winning souls for God? Do they pray for the needs of the people? Do they let the Holy Ghost lead them in their ministry? Do they subject themselves to be under the correction of the Holy Spirit? Are you totally surrendered unto God? If you said no to any of the above questions, it may cause your flow of blessings from God to be blocked. Ask God to direct you to the ministry that has a clean and Holy altar.

Psalms 91

1 He that dwells in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

3 Surely he shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

4 He shall cover you with his feathers, and under his wings shall you trust: his truth shall be your shield and buckler.

5 You shall not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flies by day;

6 Nor for the pestilence that walks in darkness; nor for the destruction that wastes at noonday.

7 A thousand shall fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you.

8 Only with your eyes shall you behold and see the reward of the wicked.

9 Because you have made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, your habitation;

10 There shall no evil befall you, neither shall any plague come near your dwelling.

11 For he shall give his angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways.

12 They shall bear you up in their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone.

13 You shall tread on the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shall you trample under feet.

14 Because he has set his love on me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he has known my name.

15 He shall call on me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honor him.

16 With long life will I satisfy him, and show him my salvation.

I have been having a lot of requests for prayer for fear and depression. I felt led of the Lord to post this Psalm tonight for someone that needs it. I read this Psalm almost every day. If you are suffering from fear, depression, challenges, problems, negative circumstances, or sickness, this Psalm is for you.

This Psalm reveals that there is a secret place of relationship with God where you can experience continual provision and protection from God. The “secret place” is an intimate place of personal relationship with God. He will draw nigh to you if you draw nigh to him.

You must first believe on the Lord Jesus Christ to be able to come into the secret place. In the secret place, there is total openness and intimacy with the Lord. The place where you have it isn’t the issue; it is the relationship that you have with Him.

This doesn’t mean that you will be immune from trouble, or any challenges in the secret place. We all face the same devil, demons, and snares, but God will keep you from the fear of these things. They won’t come nigh your secret place-no matter what happens, it will not hurt your relationship with God.

I read this the other day, and looked up some more scriptures and it blessed me so much, that I decided to share it with you. In Ezekial 47, God gave him a vision of a river of living water flowing out of the temple of God.

Ezekial 47:9 KJV

“And it shall come to pass, that every thing that liveth, which moveth, whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live: and there shall be a very great multitude of fish; because these waters shall come thither: for they shall be healed; and every thing shall live whither the river cometh”

Water is a symbol of the Holy Spirit. Ezekial saw a divine flow of the Holy Spirit that is being released from the throne of Almighty God. That river is alive with God’s awesome power! Everywhere the river flows, it brings life and healing. That same river will release the power of God into your body to heal and set you free from whatever sickness or desease that you have. This river has the life and spirit of Almighty God in it.

John 7:37-39 KJV

“If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)”

Everything Ezekial saw was the flow of the Holy Spirit which God was going to send forth into the world. From the river of God, you can receive salvation, healing, deliverance, miracles, or anything else that you need, from salvation from your sins to raising you from spiritual death unto life. The same God that will heal you of all your diseases. The same God that brought the Israelites out of Egyptian bondage is the same God Who has placed His Spirit within you.

Psalm 103:2-3

“Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases”

See also Romans 8:11, John 4:14 . If you have a need, get into the river that flows from the throne of God. This is a powerful truth, let it sink into your spirit. Claim God’s deliverance in your life. Read the whole vision in Ezekial 47.

Deut. 15:4-5 Listen to God and obey his commandments.
Deut. 7:12-14 God promises to bless and multiply them.
Deut. 7:15 God promises to take away all sickness.
Deut. 11:23, 24 God promised to drive out all nations from before them. He gave them every place where the souls of their feet tread.

The main conditions of these blessings were based on following the commandments of offerings. When it was time to do offerings, they were not a solemn time, but a time of great rejoicing before the Lord with their families and servants. This really got me to thinking, and now when I start to give an offering, I thank God and praise Him for what he has done for me, holding my offering in my hand before I give to him. Sometimes, after I praise Him, then I tell Him my needs, and then thank Him again for the answers.

Back then, it cost them a lot of money to bring one of their animals to the temple. In the book of Lev. it gives strict instructions to the people and to the sons of Aaron, the priests. The ram or bullock was to be brought to the temple in the presence of God. They were to lay their hands on the animal’s head, and then they killed the animal before God. The priests did the rest of the work.

The reason they laid their hands on the animal’s head is because the animal was taking their place on the altar. Jesus’s death on the cross fulfilled the offerings, and we don’t have to do that anymore. We give our money now in an offering to God. It represents us.

Something else about offerings that I have learned, is that when God speaks to me to give a certain amount, then I know that he has a harvest in mind. There are some seeds that you can plant where you don’t see a harvest right away. But when God speaks to you to give, He has something in store for you. There are also times when you can give an offering to Prove God, as it says in Mal. 3:8.

Are Your Offerings Acceptable to God?

Gen. 4:3-7

And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.
And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering:
But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?
If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.

Your offerings can be unacceptable unto God. Your offerings and tithes are to be Holy unto the Lord, as an act of worship. The money you give represents you, just like the sacrifices that were offered in the Old Testament. God wants you to give to him freely. He wants you to give from your heart because of your love for him. He doesn’t want you to feel pressured into giving, because he loves cheerful givers. (2 Cor. 9:7)

Cain’s offering was of the fruit of the grund. Abel’s offering was the firstlings of his flock, and the fat thereof. Abel’s sacrifice was acceptable, and it was accounted unto him as righteousness. (1 John 3:2) It was also offered in faith. (Heb. 11:4) It was sort of a primeval picture of the atoning death of Christ. It was an atonement offering, and Cain’s offering was a Thank offering.

The Lord respected Abel’s offering, and not Cain’s. It wasn’t Cain’s best offering. Cain became angry and his countenance fell. God accepted Abel’s sacrifice because he was righteous, and because he offered it in faith. It was the right kind of offering to do at the time, and it pleased God. If you want God to accept your offerings and tithes, make sure you have confessed all your sins unto Him, and repent.

Do you give God your best offerings? These scriptures show that God doesn’t accept all of our offerings. Do you put God first in your giving? Do you give to him willingly, without being forced to? Do you have the right motives in your giving?

Today, we don’t sacrifice animals or follow the old laws of the Old Testament, because Jesus Christ fullfilled the law when he died on the cross for us. Today, we give money to support God’s work. Our money represents us. When we give to God, it is supposed to be from a loving heart. God loves a cheerful giver.

When you plant seeds for God, give him your best offerings. He will multiply them back to you.

Luke 6:38: “Give, and it shall be given unto you, good measure, pressed down and shaken together and running over shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
“

Do you need for God to bless you in your finances?

For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

Give God your best, and then you can expect the Best from Him. A lot of people stop giving to God when they are having trouble in their finances. That isn’t the way to get God to move for you. Take that step of faith, and give the devil a black eye by showing him that you believe God.

Also, search your heart and ask God to show you if there is anything in your heart and life that you need to take care of. Unforgiveness in your heart can hinder your harvest in your finances, and in the rest of your needs being met. Finally, give in faith, knowing that God “will open up the windows of heaven and pour you out a blessing that you won’t be able to receive.” (Mal. 3:8)
