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”.

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?
