El Kanna
I am the Lord God who is The Jealous God. My jealousy is not the selfish feeling of discomfort that man gets when he feels he is being wronged in some way. The jealousy that I have for my people is one of love. I have predestined you to follow after Me, to be complete in Me, to be victorious in Me, to be fulfilled in Me. When you choose to follow after anything other than what My Spirit is leading you to do, whether it’s making idols, succumbing to the lusts of the flesh or simply placing your own will before Mine; it grieves Me. This is what makes Me jealous. I long for you to fellowship with Me wholeheartedly every moment of your life; for this is the very reason I created you. When you don’t seek My face, when you are not willing, when you are not obedient, I weep for you. I know the thoughts that I have for you. Thoughts to prosper and empower you. My Spirit is with you, when you are with Me. When your heart is not fully submitted to Me, then the plans I have for you will come to a halt until you do so. I love you enough not to hurt you. Mature to the place where you love Me more. More than the cares of this world, more than the lusts of the flesh and mind, and more than your very life. Yes, I am “El Kanna,” The Jealous God. Pursue Me aggressively. These end times are progressively worsening and My presence is being more and more ignored. Draw nigh to Me with everything you have and I will draw nigh to you with everything that I have for you. Give Me your all. Don’t hold back another moment. I have accomplishments that only you can give birth to. I am the Lord God, The Jealous God. Come after Me. Come now.

"I Am What You Don't See"
I beseech you my brethren now, as a servant of the “Most High God” to consider the words of this letter and allow them the ability to reveal who you are and what you have been created to be. Man I always wanted to do that (LOL). Moreover on a more important note; something has been happening to me in this process called “Christianity.” Lately God has revealed through His word and various resources this thing with our Lower Nature vs. our Super-Natural nature and I’m enjoying the excursion.
I was appalled by how many times the word “Nature and Super –Natural” were mentioned after this tour began. We all know that man is in a fallen state/ nature but do we understand how “fallen” our nature is? Take a gander at a few words chosen to set the atmosphere:
1. Nature (Wild): the elements of the natural world, as mountains, trees, animals, or rivers.
2. Nature (Human): the instincts or inherent tendencies directing conduct: a man of good nature.
3. Natural: having a real or physical existence, as opposed to one that is spiritual, intellectual, fictitious, etc.
4. Supernatural: of, pertaining to, or being above or beyond what is natural; unexplainable by natural law or phenomena; abnormal.
To simply put it, our nature (Natural and Super-Natural) could be summed up in one word, “Behavior.” For all intensive purposes man was initially created pure and flawless for fellowship with the “Almighty” but after the great deception became flawed, tainted and now dead to God spiritually and also subject to death physically (Rom 5:12, 1Cor 15:21, Gen 3:19). The behavior of the first creations after disobeying God immediately revealed the lower fallen nature of mankind and cause them to try an hide themselves, place blame on the other and cover up their sin (WOW, Doesn’t this sound like our people today!). Adam and Eve’s sin separated them from God and they were no longer acceptable in His sight, so much so till the two were evicted from their dwelling place and punished.
Somebody help me say “Thank You Jesus” for redeeming us from this fallen state of hopelessness (Eph 2:12-13).
With this being said it thus reveals that our 1st nature is not natural but spiritual and our 2nd nature is natural and dead to spiritual things (This stands to confirm when people say “ you did that so good till it looked like second nature to you” well it is in most cases). This also confirms why super-natural things cannot be comprehended nor received by the average lower natured person (Rom 8: 5-11). In other words before being born again and baptized, the norm for everyone is flesh oriented and limited to the natural laws of this world (i.e. gravity, sickness, poverty, etc.)
After confessing Jesus as Lord and being redeemed from the law of sin and death the norm from that point forward is super-natural and not the fictional stuff in movies which make us all numb to the fullness of our 1st nature. If we all can grasp the next few sentences in its entirety I honestly know that the dominion that belongs to us will be utilized. All it takes is to slowly visualize God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit creating you and then living on the inside of you; so now your words are to be used like God uses them (creating, blessing, directing the enemy and never returning void) and your actions are as God’s.
Think on These:
• Created in His Image (Gen 1: 26)
• Image: Physical Identity/ Representation
• According: Agreeing with
• Likeness: Spiritual Identity
(Our Physical Identity Agrees with the Godheads Spiritual Identity) WOW
Your Spirit cannot sin But what you do in the natural can affect your Spiritual destination! (1 John 3: 9). This is why, when you do something out of your spiritual nature or what you have been created, God is displeased; (i.e. homosexuality, lying, murder, bestiality, gossip/ idle dead words etc.) We are supposed to be reflections of God in Heaven on earth and the behaviors of the lower nature just don’t cut it.
We need to value what we have been created to be, naturally go after it, and Spiritually Possess it!

"You Will Know Them"
Jesus said in (Matt 7:15-20)"You will know them by their fruit" (False Prophets); every good prophet will bear good fruit and vice versa. Now on another note this good and bad fruit principle applies to the lay person as well. God showed me that a tree can never on its own change what type of fruit it can bear but what it does have control of is how far it can develop its fruit.
We all know that fruit casted before its time are not tasteful but fruit that have matured to ripeness are very pleasant and satisfying. A person can tell whether or not the fruit is ready most times by its attributes (i.e. appearance, reaction to certain test, size, color, texture, time, season etc.). Also fruit can never return to the size prior to its present state unless it is beginning to die. Some fruit will remain a certain size for a period of time due to lack of vital supplements needed for survival (i.e. food, light, water, soil, weeding, protection from predators, etc.).
So a person is known by their fruit by a seasoned individual or Pastor/Farmer/Sheppard operating in the gifts of the spirit, judging what stage the fruit is in (blade, ear, full ear of corn). So a persons fruit does not change it just confirms what stage it is in by way of its attributes.
If a Christian says something rude, has a bad attitude, react in a irrational manner, or gets angry over small things on a non-consistent basis does not make them any less of a Christian it simply reveals what stage of the process they are in.

THE MOST ACCURATE TRUTH
Based upon my extensive research I have concluded that everyone thinks that they are right! The question that I discovered to be irrefutable is this, “Which one is the most right or is the most true?” In any situation or discussion you will find that both parties will have justifiable reasoning and or facts but the underlying factor is which of the two can prove themselves with more hardcore evidence than the other. This project has the potential to end all idle bouts big or small, in the years to come without any bloodshed.
Jesus said that “I am the way, the truth, and the life, no one comes to the Father except through Me” (John 14:6). When I broke those three key words down (way, truth and life) here is what was found.
Greek
• Way- (Hodos): Road/ Journey
• Truth-(Aletheia): Most Accurate Truth/ Verity
• Life-(Zoe`): Quick/Time
* Now read it backwards and place Jesus’ name first and it will go like this*
(Jesus is the quickest, most accurate road to Heaven)
Wow. When the Holy Spirit showed me this I had just about ran around the room in total joy. Now this means one thing and it bothers me to think about it; if Jesus stated that He is the “Most Accurate” then there must be one that has some truth but is not as accurate as He is. Maybe this is why the Word of God even says that God is the most high God (Gen 14:18, Ps 47:2, Dan 4:17) because we all know that there is a god of this world that is neither accurate nor high!
What’s more astonishing is the use of the Bible in our judicial system here in the United States. I wonder why the Qur'an or any other book wasn’t used. Maybe it’s because the Bible states that it is the Truth (2 Tim 2:15).
What did satan use to trick Adam and Eve? He deceived Eve with a less accurate portion of the truth and they believed him. A large majority of this world states that the anti-christ will make people put the mark on their forehead or hand; this is not true, the Bible says (Rev 13:16) that he will “Cause” all to “Receive” the mark! The words cause and receive placed in the same sentence does not merit any forceful behavior but on the contrary it does imply deception and trickery. It’s the only tool that a defeated foe can use!
Here is how all of this can help. Whenever there maybe a disagreement don’t rush to conclude that one side is right without justly looking at the evidence and considering the intentions of both parties. You will be amazed at how both individuals never stop and bear in mind that the other person may think that they are doing or saying what seems to be right at that very moment and the only way to ratify the situation is to find out which one is the most accurate truth! God Bless.
(suggested reading John 8:32 & John 8:44)

All or Nothing
My high school football coach did a phenomenal job of imparting long lasting life principles in each player; especially me. One day in practice I made a mistake, which was the only one I had ever made (just kidding). He didn’t get as mad as I thought he would and trust me he could do a pretty good job of it. Just as I began to think about why he didn’t get as mad as he usually does, he started explaining why. He said “The only reason I can excuse this mistake is because you were going 100mph which meant to me that you thought you were doing what was right and gave it your ALL but if you had made the same mistake going 5mph then that’s when I would have chewed your behind because it means you new what you were doing was wrong and yet still went through with it and that is un-acceptable” (Very Powerful).
God desires us to serve Him with ALL of our heart, mind and body.
Deuteronomy 6:4-5:
4Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:
5And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with ALL thine heart, and with ALL thy soul, and with ALL thy might.
Certain things just makes sense to me, the same should apply to the entire universe but common sense is not common to everyone. The question I pose to the Christian and non-Christian is: What is the worst thing that could happen if you do ALL of what God commands in the Bible? My guess is; you will love and treat people right, be blessed beyond imagine and make it to Heaven (WOW Sounds like a deal to me).
Deuteronomy 28
1And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do ALL his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above ALL nations of the earth:
2And ALL these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.
The word “ALL” is an inclusive word, it means everything and has no partiality. If I asked someone for ALL of their possessions, does this mean give me some and they keep some “NO” it means everything they have. So why is it when the Word of God states to serve and obey with ALL, we only give a percentage of our life to God and reserve a portion for ourselves (hmmm). It’s amazing how God is such a cut and dry God; what you put in is what you get out and sometimes even more.
Keep in mind that God did not make us robots for a reason. There is no true pleasure receivable from an object that can’t make a decision on its own. God is pleased when His children obey and serve Him with every fiber of their being; wouldn’t you feel good if your child does exactly what was asked just to bless you!
It’s time to decide whose side you’re on. Many generals in the Bible had to chose; remember what the Three Hebrew Boys said before they went into the fiery furnace “ This day make sure it is known that we did not bow down to your false gods nor did we worship the gold image which you have set up.”
The flip side to this is you can choose a wrong side, like the angels that were cast out of Heaven with Lucifer (Rev 12:9)or Judas Iscariot who chose the side he was on for thirty pieces of silver.
“I would rather live like there is a God with ALL my might and die just to find out that there is no God than to live like there is no God and die to find out that there is a God”

"The Ultimate Balanced Scale"
I recently had a conversation with a good friend of mine and we were on the subject of Jesus and how his personality was so important to fulfill the assignment from God. Everything in life must be balanced and by saying this I take for example: the “Rhema Word” balances the “Logos Word” or studying to show thyself approved is complimented by attending a local “Spirit-Filled” church. Balance is a healthy way to get the most out of life. Even nutritionist state how important it is to eat a balanced diet but how many of us tilt the scale when it comes to healthy food consumption and junk food intake.
Jesus’ assignment was two-fold. He was the “Lion of Judah and the “Lamb of God” (Revelation 5:5 & John 1:29). Both of which are on two ends of the spectrum but when placed together make a perfect leader of strength and sacrifice. Jesus on many occasions had to display the lion side of him (keep in mind I am not saying Jesus has the nature or even behaved like these animals) and turn tables over, correct the Scribes, Pharisees and his own Disciples.
Matthew 10:34:
34Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
The lamb side was more compassionate and instructed all to love each other as they love themselves, help your bretheren that are in need, and forgive your brother 70x7.
Matthew 18:22:
22Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
Jesus was able to walk amongst Kings and still keep a common mans touch. If you think about the associated identity of a lion it is labeled the “King of the Jungle” and the lamb is always considered a pure and meek “Sacrifice” (something to think on...Jesus was also labeled "King of the Jews" and "The Perfect Sacrifice"). We are followers of Christ and the Bible says to let this mind be in you.
Philippians 2:5:
5Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
We are to correct and love like Christ did. Don’t be scared to offend people; the last time I checked, we don’t entertain emotions/ feelings because it is of the flesh. Think about the “Anointed One” and how he dealt with the rich and poor as well as the smart and not so smart people. Jesus did not handle every situation the same way and neither should we. If something deserved open rebuke then he did it, if someone required special attention he gave it but not too many situations were handled in the same manner.
Jesus is the ultimate balanced scale. Often times, we as followers of Christ are not totally balanced in our walk and we allow more “Lion” to be exhibited than “Lamb” or vice versa. On one side you can be considered too harsh and critical and the other could be deemed too passive and nice but anywhere in the middle is fine and don’t worry about people not liking you, just look at Jesus’ life and you will soon find yourself on the path he walked (very true)!

Love Ignorant pt. 2
Love is a verb not a noun. A noun is the part of speech that is used to name a person, place, thing, quality, or action and can function as the subject. A verb is the function as the main elements of predicates, which typically express action, state, or a relation between two things, and that (when inflected), may be inflected for tense, aspect, voice, mood, and to show agreement with their subject.
Now all of this was stated to validate why Love can’t be descriptive toward inanimate objects but more so the result of a choice. I see and hear people use it wrong all the time especially toward vehicles, homes, clothes etc. and I ask the ones that I can; could the thing that you say you love, actually love you in return in the same manner you do toward it. Surprisingly enough the answer is always NO! This simply means that the worlds standard for love is beneath the word of GOD.
Matthew 6:19-21:
19Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
20But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
21For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Carefully look at verse 21 where is states “there will your heart be also”, well if you don’t know; your heart (Spirit) is who you really are and it is what is used to “Love” after being trained by the “Holy Spirit” of course! But if your heart is set on the standard of the world, it is corrupted and you may never know it. Good people pave they way to hell!
1 John 2:15:
15Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
It hurts my inner man when Christians don’t Love the way God desires them to. We are too passive in our “Love Walk”; we turn blind eyes and pretend as if we don’t see certain things when Love is saying “SAY SOMETHING” before they get comfortable in their ways and die in that state. We think that by osmosis people are just going to get it but in this era of life I find more and more how much responsibility we have to inform and warn others so that they may live and live more abundantly. I can’t lie and tell someone that they have a blessing coming and their lifestyle is jacked up. I will tell someone that is at least trying to get it together and not wanting everyone to feel sorry for them, that God will bless them because this is our reasonable service.
Love does not do the same thing for every situation. In fact it is imperative that we don’t because this is where familiarity takes root (familiarity breeds contempt). Love requires us to use Gods better judgment. If a person makes a mistake, we can surely forgive them and move on down the road but if this same person continues to make the same mistake religiously and being aware of what they maybe doing then the next response is not going to be like the first one.
Love does not condemn but it sure does do a good job of convicting.
1 John 3:20-21:
20For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.
21Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.
If you ever get convicted for anything, it simply means your spirit man is trying to warn you of something. So do not allow your flesh to get in the way and take offense/ condemnation.

Love Ignorant
“Love Does” earlier this year a Minister/ Teacher by the name of Doug Jones blessed my church with what I deem to be the best definition for Love on this side of the earth.
• Love: joyfully chooses to take an action that promotes another persons well being; Love does the most beneficial thing for the recipient at that moment.
• The opposite of Love is (Selfishness) not (Hate): the unwillingness to inconvenience yourself for another persons well being.
With this being said; I believe the first question that should arise is how do we do the most beneficial thing for God? The answer is simple; the most beneficial thing one could do is obey the word of God.
John 14:15:
15If ye love me, keep my commandments.
John 14:21:
21He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
Secondly; how do we as the body apply this to our everyday activity? Once we understand that love is not a feeling or an emotion but a verb (action word), I know that clarity and application is inevitable.
1 John 5
1Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.
2By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
3For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
Love has four faces
1. Love Gives
2. Love Protects
3. Love will believe in the recipient
4. Love will correct for the profit of the recipient
Hebrews 12:5-10:
5And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:
6For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
7If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
8But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
9Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?
10For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.
Lets make one thing very clear; 1 Corinthians 13: 1-8 is NOT the definition of love but the qualities found in each face will be accompanied by 1Corinthians 13. Love is Learned! We must learn how to walk in love like Christ did. We have to study how He loved over and over to love how He loved. More importantly we must not try to figure it out on our own.
Love is always the result of a choice and if you are “Love Ignorant” you will use the term “Love” as the world uses it! The worlds love is conditional; ours is unconditional.
Luke 6:27-36:
27But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,
28Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.
29And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also.
30Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again.
31And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.
32For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them.
33And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same.
34And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.
35But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.
36Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.
“Give to the undeserving what they do not deserve and God will see to it you get what you do not deserve” Rev. Doug Jones.
Stay tuned for Pt. 2…

"The Con Became the Norm"
The modern day church has figured out a way to Con God into getting the maximum results with the least amount of work (At least they think they are!). Whenever you attain these results, they are usually of low quality and won’t last long. A friend once told me a story of an imitation Louis Vuitton suitcase that he purchased because he did not want to pay the full cost for a real one, but desired the satisfaction of a fake one that looked real. Lo and behold, he said that the suitcase lasted a couple of months before it fell apart and he realized his money was wasted. Whereas had he paid the full cost for a genuine Louis Vuitton suitcase, he would still have the suitcase in his possession today. What’s even funnier is the real one most times has insurance if it ever malfunctions.
What kind of measuring stick do you measure holiness with? What is your motive behind telling people they don’t have to work for the rewards of God (False Hope)? We have come to the conclusion that in order for a doctor to have a job, he has to have sick people and they always administer the medicine that won’t cure it totally but just enough to keep them alive and coming back. The church has become this; a business, where the prescribed word being preached from the pulpit is given the people just enough to keep the people alive, but they are still sick and will keep on coming (hmmm). I don’t think you will get in trouble for trying to be as holy as you possibly can, in a manner in which you can carry out God’s Love and His plan for your life. As opposed to trying to be as lawless as you possibly can be while trying to maintain a form of godliness.
2 Timothy 3
1This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
6For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
Are we teaching people to be irresponsible by not challenging them to rise up to the level of holiness that God needs in order to really manifest in the earth? My challenge to all the “Millennium Isrealites,” is this; can you still tell people to not worry about trying to live righteous because no one is perfect with the vision of their blood being on your hands if you are wrong!
Ezekiel 33:6:
6But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand.
Are we trying to be liberal and make God liberal too when our lives are not our own? What was the initial way of life for a Christian? What has become the annex? So then, with these questions on the forefront we can identify that, whatever came in to bring the confusion is the root of the problem. Because we all know that the devil is the author of confusion (Right!).
1 Corinthians 14:33 (Whole Chapter)
For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
What happened to the reverential fear for God?
Proverbs 1:7 (Whole Chapter)
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction
Without this fear of God, the people of God act foolishly. Most modern day Christians have this mentality, “God give me the fire first and then I’ll throw in the wood.” It’s as if they don’t want to do the work of chopping the wood down or even preparing it to be burned. Everything is a microwave mentality. Even down to salvation, obedience and relationship with God. Everything has to be quick and easy.
This formula has been applied for too long, with minimal or no evidence of the power of God. The hunger for God’s power is still here and is not being satisfied; therefore the people are searching for the power in all the wrong places because the Church is powerless. Let’s step it up and do what it takes to get God’s dunimus power to manifest!
Always in Love,

"I Don't Believe Anymore"
1 John 5:14-15:
14And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:
15And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
We Don’t Believe Anymore; We Know! My Wife and I stopped believing a couple of days ago simply because of our knowledge of God’s awesome character. As we began studying on this phenomenon, (because we have not heard it taught yet); scriptures began to jump out at us. First, let us explain what the difference is between “Knowing” and “Believing” by stating the definition of each:
• Believe-to have confidence in the truth of something, although without absolute proof that one is right in doing so
• Know-to believe with absolute assurance
Through this understanding we have come to grasp that when you have belief in something, there is room for doubt because you don’t have the proof, whereas when you know something you have a firm foundation to stand your ground. To know something is a step above believing, just as being passionate is a step above crazy (LOL). What then is our proof that takes us from believing to knowing? Simple, the word of God.
Daniel 11:32 says “but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits."
Jesus knew God, He didn’t have to believe in Him and this is why He was able to set the standard for being the epitome of strength and performed miraculous exploits. Too, the bible reveals to us how we will follow God when we recognize His voice when comparing us to sheep and Himself as the “Good Shepard” in:
John 10:4-5 which states, “ 4And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. 5And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.”
You can tell if someone knows something by their actions. For example, Abraham knew that he and Isaac would return when he heeded to the voice of God to offer Isaac up as a sacrifice by telling the young men that he and the lad would be back (Gen. 22:5). He was able to take this action because of his knowing the promise that through Isaac he would be the father of many nations and his understanding that God is a covenant keeping God. A famous quote we live by: “What you do speaks so loud to the point that what you say no one can hear.” To take it a step further, when you know something, your level of authority surpasses all understanding. We reason to believe that this is what God has been waiting on; for the body of Christ to go from believing to knowing so that these greater works can take place. When you see people complaining to God or questioning His abilities they are simply magnifying the problem instead of the solution. This is a clear indication that they don’t know God. If someone called you by a different name, you probably would not respond; why? Because you know your name and will not be persuaded otherwise. Apply this to knowing the truths found in the bible. When you know the promises of God, no one or even your own self will be able to deter you from what is known.
The Only Way to Go From “Believing” to “Knowing” is Found in One Word: “RELATIONSHIP”
Deuteronomy 7:9:
9Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;

"Get the World Out of the Church"
Yes Paul did say become all things to all men but he was not saying take the devils manipulated creations and make them Godly. That’s like saying in order for me to effectively witness to a gay person then I must become one or become a drug addict in order to understand them. Please don’t twist Paul’s words Pastors and people alike, for the sake of having a flesh fest. Paul also said that he became weak for the weak but did it not to please himself but to save many. Now the “Million Dollar” question is did God tell you to start a “Holy Hip Hop Dance or Holy Gangsters Group” and how many souls would it truly save versus utterly destroy forever. The majority of these avenues are “good ideas and not God Ideas,” and every secular person that I have questioned pertaining to “Holy Hip Hop” said “It is fake/ garbage and just another way to have one foot in the world and the other in Church (on a banana peal).” Renew your mind and shun the very presence of evil church folk; if the world is wondering why it is happening then that’s a clear indication that we might need to re-think our (M.O.). I have never seen God take something of the enemies and call it holy as a matter of fact I have always read where he has destroyed that very thing.
Joshua 7:24-25:
24And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the garment, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his asses, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had: and they brought them unto the valley of Achor.
25And Joshua said, Why hast thou troubled us? the LORD shall trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and burned them with fire, after they had stoned them with stones.
What the church is doing without notice is offering a substitution/ alternative to the God of the Bible and not the real “Solution” thus creating an almost never ending cycle or better yet, generation that does not look like God but definitely mirroring the world! But I have come to destroy the works of the devil!
Some Pastors and leaders will not admit when they are wrong or ignorant in certain areas simply because of pride and pig-headedness; the Bible is clear on this subject when it says:
Proverbs 16:18:
18Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
Some pastors without doing their home work would even speak against the very people that attempt to live a Holy lifestyle because most of them are Carnal anyway. There is a quote I read in a book called “ The Fuel and the Flame” on page 49 “ 8 out of 10 Pastors and leaders don’t walk with God,” when I read this I almost began to cry because it became more obvious to me as to how the people in these leadership positions are missing it. Some of these people have taken things out of the Bible and made it fit their own ideology and tossed away all of the important things that will save and teach the body of Christ to practice holiness and righteousness daily. Instead grace has been prostituted and a lot of money has been made off of her! Another recently discovered statistic is that most pastors and leaders spend no more than 15 minutes a day in the word or prayer; this is frightening and now it’s a no brain-er to me as to why the body is out of whack and it is due to the head not being in place. What’s scarier is to think about how much time the body is spending with God if the spiritual leaders are part-time saints and full-time “WORLD -kers.”

"THE GOOD NEWS"
Here is the “Good News” since the word Gospel means this very word “Good News;” I’ve come to inform you that you have been tricked and the ”Bad News” is that many of you will reject this news and end up in hell! I am not here to plead and beg you to take heed because that would be stupid. It’s just the same as if I went into a village (that has no drinkable/Potable water) and brought with me 30,000 gallons of bottled water and began begging the people to drink the clean water (how dumb would I be). 80% of the Christian population are walking on the face of the earth, spiritually and mentally dead. Their brain dies somewhere around young adult hood due to all of the foolishness that goes in and comes out. The sad part is their bodies don’t go into the ground until a couple of decades later! People perish for a lack of knowledge Hosea 4:6 and if you continue to read the entire verse you will be amazed to find that your unwillingness to gain knowledge not only affects you but your children as well and we wonder what’s wrong with our kids today!
When a truth is revealed it should hold the same caliper of witnessing a miracle take place before your eyes. There is a story in the Bible where a King by the name of Josiah (2 Kings 22: 1-20) was minding his own business when two of his scribes brought to him a book that had been hidden for a long period of time. This King began to read it and become very angry because this book of truth was hidden from him for such a long period of his life. Never before reading this book King Josiah replaced every other god and doctrine with this book known as the Bible. King Josiah is part responsible for the Gospel being in existence even to this day (WOW).
Here I stand, with information that has the power to change even the coldest heart and yet no one is listening because most people have their own agenda on the front burners. The “devil” does not want the world; he wants the Church! This is why a very high percentage of “Pastors Kids” (PK’s) have gone wayward. Churches are now starting to embrace the world’s ideas to reach groups of people (i.e. young people) when the Bible does not tell us to “Reach” them but to “Preach” to them and not to ”Conform” to this world.
1 John 2:15-17:
15Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

Thank You, Coach Walt Frazier, for coining this fraise. You have touched the lives of many warriors with the passionate deliverance of “It’s War Time”. Many will agree with me when I say “This phrase is empowering,” it sends volts of electricity through our spirit, mind and body all at once, switching Friday nights from “Game Night” to “War on the Field Night”. I can remember a story about the 1998 State Championship in Gainesville FL, Carol City Chiefs vs. Lake City Columbia High School and like every game he would walk very slowly in front of the line looking deeply into each player’s eyes to see if they were ready for “WAR” or ready to go “home;” but this time it was different because when he got to the end of the line and the last players eyes he looked into saw tears streaming from his eyes and all of a sudden a deep roar from the depths of Coach Frazier’ belly exploded “It’s War Time” and everyone else erupted and to be honest with you sometimes I couldn’t tell whether we were on a real battle field or a football stadium in those moments; sadly enough I have a bunch of other people that can agree with me as well. Now that I think about it; the other teams really didn’t have a clue as to the pressure that was headed their way and I kind of feel sorry for them because we played those four quarters just as if we were warriors on a battle field. I speak on behalf of every player that Coach Frazier has had contact with when I say “we value you as a man of strength, discipline and hard work.” Part of us still have those words burned in our hearts and will never let them go (we bleed orange black and white). This will only make sense to the ones that have experienced it!

"It's War Time" Part 2
• Spirit- is who you really are. It’s what will live forever.
• Soul- is your mind, will, intellect and emotions
• Body- your five senses
Understand this people of God. You are a spirit, you posses a soul and you live in a body.
These are “Military Terms” that will drive home and assist you in understanding what God is about to reveal in the blogs to come.
• Strategic (Spirit) - refers to the ultimate objective, to defeat the enemy and the overall plan or strategy to bring one into submission.
• Tactical (Soul) – means the specific battles necessary to achieve the ultimate objective.
• Logistical (Body) – is simply satisfying the physical needs of the army fighting the battle.
1. A good majority of Christians spot the enemy when he is on the Logistical grounds i.e. sick person in the hospital, or the person that loses their job. These are the most common.
2. A smaller percentage of Christians recognized or encounter the Tactical grounds; related to a specific engagement with the enemy i.e. the outcome of something that doesn’t go in the direction you have prayed and you know it should, which ultimately result in a person being controlled by emotions.
3. An even smaller group of people will identify the Strategic snares that focus on the ultimate objective; your spirit. This is the battle that God is really interested in. We must remember that we are in a spiritual warfare. We are engaging a defeated but still powerful enemy; satan, our unseen foe:
2 Timothy 2:26 (Whole Chapter)
And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will
Revelation 12:9 (Whole Chapter)
And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Always in Love,
"It's War Time"
WAKE UP! Christians we are losing this spiritual war. The Bible says that: “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places Ephesians 6:12” which means that the enemy will not show up in the manifested form of a person and say lets fight but more on the contrary. I am really fed up with all of the pictures of the devil with two horns and a pitch fork I assure you he is keeping up with the times as well as we are. People of God please realize that it is easier to trick a human being than to force one to do something that they were not created to do (think about it; Adam and Eve were the first human candidates). If anyone is telling you anything other than prepare for war right now, then consider yourself officially warned and make this a great reason for you to start reading your own Bible now! In Ecclesiastes chapter 3 it says that “everything under the sun has a time and place including a time for war.” Why else would Paul write: “Put on the Whole Armor of God Ephesians 6: 10-17;” I don’t suppose he was saying this so we could join him in a cup of tea. Yes the Bible is clear when it says: “Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place, 2Corinthians 2:14” and this scripture is used out of context all the time; it does not say that we don’t have to show up and we will still be victorious but it does say God will CAUSE us to be triumphant which means (Huge Celebration/ Party after a Victory); this means we have to put forth some effort. This scripture, when used wrong (2 Peter 3:16, covers how people twist scripture) gives leeway to becoming an “Ambitiously Lazy” Christian and makes the enemy’s job a lot easier. Does anyone really know why King David fell into adultery with Bathsheba? Well, I will tell you; If you read 2 Samuel 11:1 The Bible says that King David was supposed to be out to battle because this was the season for war but instead he stayed in
