Believing Is Seeing

Believing Is Seeing

To the church community stop wasting time trying to prove Jesus is who the bible says he is.

Have enough love for Him to “be” who He says you should be. Only then will the world see that He is who the bible says He is.

Afterall, the world says seeing is believing!

In the kingdom of God, if you believe you see; you will see the glory of God at work in the natural.

Believing is seeing; believing the divine; The glory of God; God on display

You will not see it in the natural if you do not believe first in the divine realm.

Acting on what God has said; that, that you say you believe in his word.

God has a revealed will and He has a secret will Deut. 29:29

You will never see God’s secret will until you follow His revealed will, doing what He told you to do.

Until you do what He has told you; you will not see His unrevealed plan

The divine is where God rules your life allowing you to participate in His divine nature to accomplish something He wants to do.

When you accepted Jesus Christ as your personal savior you entered the realm of the divine giving you access to that which operates outside of the natural.

The problem is we are so focused on the natural we miss, resist or deny the divine influence in our lives.

Walking in faith is how you access the divine.  

Nothing blocks the divine influence from working in your situation and circumstances more than human logic and familiarity.

Human logic:  Matt. 14: 13-21: Matt. 13: 53-58: When Jesus had finished these parables, He departed from there. He came to His hometown and began teaching them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, “Where did this man get this wisdom and these miraculous powers?

“Is not this the carpenter’s son? Is not His mother called Mary, and His brothers, James and Joseph and Simon and Judas?

“And His sisters, are they not all with us? Where then did this man get all these things?” And they took offense at Him.

But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown and in his own household.” And He did not do many miracles there because of their unbelief.

Your commitment to God’s truth must override your emotions in the situation and circumstances and truths of your circumstances.

The solution is always there but is not revealed until obedience is complete. If you do not give God something to see you may not see what God can provide

Taking Control: 1 Thess. 4: 3-8

Taking Control: 1 Thess. 4: 3-8

We were all born into a satanic world system concerning life and truth that prevents you from enjoying life as God intended. 1 Cor. 1:

Therefore, taking control of your life must be done spiritually if you want to enjoy life and see many happy days as God intended.

Taking spiritual control of your life is the only way to prevent your life from being controlled by circumstances, situations, the opinions, actions and behind the scene scheming of others and Satan.  Eph. 6: 10-18

To accomplish taking control of your life you must take authority over the rulers, authorities, powers of this dark world and the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 2 Cor. 10: 3-5

Overcoming and taking authority over the spiritual realm, allows you to share in God’s divine nature and escape the world’s corruption caused by human desires.

Taking spiritual authority allows you to speak God’s word into your life and your circles of influence. This is the only authority that Satan and his demons will submit to.

Operating in spiritual authority requires training in the word of righteousness, being, aware, available, actively praying, and faithfully standing on God’s great and precious promises in the word of God.                                                                                               

Taking control of your life will require strengthening your faith in God’s word by practicing, moral excellence, self-control, enduring trials and suffering patiently, godliness, brotherly affection, and unconditional love for everyone.

As long as you practice these things, you will never stumble in your walk with God.

The more you grow like this, the more control you will have over your life in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. (2 Pet. 1: 1-11)

But those who fail to develop in this way their lives will continually be controlled by circumstances, situations, the opinions, actions and behind the scene scheming of others and Satan. 

Taking control of your life is only possible through the Holy Spirit strengthening and teaching you through consistent study and application of these scriptural principles. (John 16: 13,14; 1 Cor. 2:6-16, Phil. 4:13)

To a Defiant World

To a Defiant World

Psalm 2:1-12

Why are the nations so angry?

Why do they waste their time with futile plans?

The kings of the earth prepare for battle; the rulers plot together against the LORD and against his anointed one.

“Let us break their chains,” they cry, “and free ourselves from slavery to God.”

But the one who rules in heaven laughs.

The Lord scoffs at them.

Then in anger he rebukes them, terrifying them with his fierce fury.

For the Lord declares, “I have placed my chosen king on the throne in Jerusalem, on my holy mountain.”

The king proclaims the LORD’s decree:

“The LORD said to me, ‘You are my son.

Today I have become your Father.

Only ask, and I will give you the nations as your inheritance, the whole earth as your possession.

You will break them with an iron rod and smash them like clay pots.’”

Now then, you kings, act wisely! Be warned, you rulers of the earth!

Serve the LORD with reverent fear and rejoice with trembling.

Submit to God’s royal son, or he will become angry, and you will be destroyed in the midst of all your activities—for his anger flares up in an instant.

But what joy for all who take refuge in him!

The Power of Influence

The Power of Influence

Trusting your life to God comes with a lot of fears and apprehensions. This is all the result of Satan’s first mental attack on the mind of mankind through Adam and Eve. 

Satan in his first mental assault; planted the idea in man’s head that God could not be trusted because God was withholding the better things in life from them. (Gen. 3: 1-5)

It was this deception that led mankind down an unending road where he now sees things that are detrimental to his well-being as things that are good for him. By the seductive, subliminal, subconscious suggestion of Satan; mankind decided on his own free will to serve his desires.

What are your desires? How is the world influencing you in your pursuit of physical pleasure, a craving for what you see, and pride in your achievements and possessions.? 

Why do you do the things you do? Your habits, your views on life, and your attitude are all formed by your desires, the things that you believe are important for your well-being

These are your core values the basic foundation for acquiring your desires and your decision making. When you consider your method of attaining your desires in reference to God’s Word; will following these methods honor God in your life?

Will honoring your methods display a sense of integrity and what the Word of God says is right. Will honoring your methods lead you into obedience to God?

Making God-honoring value-based choices may not always seem practical or logical. However, you will find through practice, making a choice that you know honors God is much more rewarding in the long run. God created mankind to enjoy all that He has created.  (Deut. 28:1-12;

Check your methods of attaining your desires, and make sure they align with God’s Word which is the only guarantee of success. (Matt. 6: 30-33)

The Sovereign Providential Nature of God

The Sovereign Providential Nature of God

As believers, we must fully understand that God is the creator of heaven and earth and that all that occurs in the universe takes place under Divine Providence — That is, under God’s sovereign guidance and control.

A sovereign God accomplishes His sovereign will through His providence

Providence is the methodology God uses to do His ruling. Providence is that act of sovereignty that brings together different events and circumstances in order for God to accomplish His sovereign will. Romans 8:28

In providence God works behind the scenes. Isaiah 45:15:

He hides himself, therefore God’s providence can look like the work of man.  

God’s sovereignty and providence allow for and is intertwined with human freedom, meaning he gives you the opportunity to choose.

However, God’s Sovereignty has boundaries you can’t move or change them. Acts 17:26-28.

Within these boundaries God will allow you to make choices that will make you better off or worse off while He works behind the scenes in the little things and all things every single detail to accomplish His will.

Nothing happens without God’s permission! Job. 1:1-12; Luke 22:31-34

Building Your New Life

Building Your New Life

Just like anything else in life, you must grow also. It takes time and effort. You would not put a plant in the ground and expect fruit the next day. Similarly, you have to do the right things to take care of your spiritual growth and development. You must nurture your success. The steps are simple. Don’t overthink it. Keep it simple. Just follow instructions.         

The power of “2”

Two is a small number and it is the focus of this ministry. God says in His Word; “Where 2 or more are gathered in my name there I am in the mist of them” (Matthew 18:20). The principle behind this concept is working together to enrich each other’s lives to leverage our physical and spiritual resources.

It can become overwhelming to think that you have to go it alone; once you realize all of the changes that must take place in your life to be a disciple of Christ. That is why having others to walk you through the process and sowing into your life is so important and makes the process enjoyable and more effective.

Five steps to spiritual growth and development

  1. Commit yourself to God: The most important person you will ever need is YOU. When you believe that God is working through this ministry you will be confident when talking to others outside of this ministry about why you are here. Your entire objective must be to glorify God and not please people. This is essential for you to stay true to the process.
  • Stay Informed: Participate in weekly training webinars. Be familiar with the most recent teachings on the website and printed materials, so you can become confident when asked what we believe and why.
  • Study, study, study: The key to spiritual growth is to make sure you receive proper training. That training is done by the Holy Spirit; whose responsibility it is to lead you into all the truth about God even the deep things. (John 16:13) Therefore you must study the Word of God on a regular basis.
  • Be a leader: This is your life! Take responsibility to make the effort, time and energy required to build and maintain a relationship with God and other members. Influence is the key. It all begins with you. As you grow to become a leader assist other members to become leaders themselves.

Now is the time to engage. Start doing the little things daily that will make the big things happen later.

Church Analysis

Church Analysis

What is the issue? – Lack of spiritual power. 2 Tim. 3:1-5

Over the last four decades, many churches have become no more than social clubs focusing on entertainment rather than teaching the scriptures and making disciples for God.

Most churches, trying to pique people’s interest in attending church, have turned to practices that mimic the world while ignoring God’s formula for church growth. 

This humanistic approach to please the human senses has critically diluted biblical content.  It has both trivialized and marginalized the instruction of the Word of God.

The teaching of the word of righteousness, sound biblical doctrine, and theology is, for the most part, non-existent. Instead, the church has turned to musical entertainment, human experience, and emotional hype. 

This lack of teaching and training in the word of righteousness has produced a breed of professing believers who lack the power of God in their lives, representing a poor example of the transforming power of the grace of God. 

Thus, we have churches with a form of Godliness but lack spiritual power and authority to carry out God’s will for their lives. (2Tim. 3: 1-5)

What is the problem? Faithlessness: Matt 17:20

He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”

Who is involved? – Immature believers: Heb. 5:11-14; 6:1-3: 

Concerning him we have much to say, and it is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing.

For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you have need again for someone to teach you the elementary principles of the oracles of God, and you have come to need milk and not solid food.

For everyone who partakes only of milk is not accustomed to the word of righteousness, for he is an infant.

But solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have their senses trained to discern good and evil.

Therefore, leaving the elementary teaching about the Christ, let us press on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, of instruction about washings and laying on of hands, and the resurrection of the dead and eternal judgment. And this we will do if God permits.

What contributes to the problem? –

Negative self-perspective:

Num. 13: 33: But the men who had gone up with him said,

“We are not able to go up against the people, for they are too strong for us.”

So, they gave out to the sons of Israel a bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying,  

“The land through which we have gone, in spying it out, is a land that devours its inhabitants and all the people whom we saw in it are men of great size.

“There also we saw the Nephilim (the sons of Anak are part of the Nephilim); and we became like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight.”

Satan has established a deceptive world system that wars against the kingdom of God.

This world system identifies people by their gender, race, condition, skills, abilities, occupation, hobbies, and physical characteristics etc.

This was all done to create an identity crisis in the lives of most people. It is a system where a man’s worth is determined by his possessions and status.

The solution – unwavering faith in your position in Christ.

Matt.17:20: 1John: 5:14,15

This is the confidence which we have before Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.

And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him.

Heb. 11: 6: And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him

Outcome: An empowered life:

1 Cor. 4:20: For the kingdom of God does not consist in words but in power

Goal: Authoritative proclamation and demonstration of power:

John 14:12-14: “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do; because I go to the Father.

“Whatever you ask in My name, that will I do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

“If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it.

Objective: Strengthen the Church Community:

 Matt. 18:18

Truly I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven.

Eph. 4: 14-16: Then we will no longer be immature like children. We will not be tossed and blown about by every wind of new teaching.

We will not be influenced when people try to trick us with lies so clever, they sound like the truth. Instead, we will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ, who is the head of his body, the church.

He makes the whole body fit together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love.

The Principle: Tomorrow’s Not Promised” is true.

Now is the time to take control of your life.

You are perfectly positioned for this opportunity……. NOW!

It all starts with you! Investing in your spiritual growth and development is the greatest investment you will ever make in your life.

The first step is to deal with self -perspective. 

Self-perspective is how you determine your attitude and preference by interpreting the meaning of your own behavior.

How do you see yourself as it pertains to spiritual power and authority to do the impossible?

  • You can do all things Phil. 4:13
  • You are fearfully and wonderfully made Psalm 139:14
  • You are made in the image and likeness of God Gen. 1:26
  • If you say it, it will happen. Matt. 21:21

You are a royal priesthood 1 Pet. 2:5:

You also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house for a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

Too often, we see our obstacles as giants and ourselves as mere grasshoppers, helpless to do anything.

We give up, thinking that there’s no way we can possibly overcome.

In turn you are not recognized by the spiritual realm as one with authority Acts 19:14-16

It begins and ends with what you see through your own eyes.

God’s vision isn’t limiting you. Others’ opinions aren’t limiting you.

You will be the reason you succeed or fail nothing or no one else.

You must take inventory on what you are doing. Everything is based on the decisions you make.

You must be willing to make the sacrifices and pay the price for a short time to live the life you want forever.

The question is, are you willing to make the commitment and sacrifices necessary to do it?

Remember there is always a high price to pay for achievement

You must take ownership

“For all things belong to you, whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the

world or life or death or things present or things to come; all things belong to you, and you belong to Christ; and Christ belongs to God.

The most important person you will ever need is YOU.

When you believe that God is working through “YOU” you will be confident that you have power and authority for empowerment, deliverance, guidance, comfort, healing, and transformation.

Your entire objective must be to glorify God, not please people.

This is essential for you to stay true to the process.

The objective is to establish kingdom rule here on earth as we await Jesus’ return. be solution driven; find a need and fill it!

We pursue the kingdom of God and His righteousness

Self-Perspective

In turn,you project onto others the limitations you believe about yourself.

You will be the reason you succeed or fail nothing or no one else.

Empowering The Church

Empowering The Church

Hi Saints,

As born-again believers, we must be committed to establishing a new era of Church leadership while preparing and equipping a new generation for ministry.

As a church, our emphasis must be on the effective proclamation of the word of righteousness and demonstration of the transforming power of God.

There are too many instances where church goers have been told to pray and fast for God’s promises only to have the most devastating things ever imagined happen in their lives anyway.

Didn’t God say, “Whatever you pray for, according to the promise, whatever you ask, shall be given you”?

God has positioned the believer with great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share his divine nature. This allows the believer to do all the things that Jesus did and greater.

This will require the believer to serve God in spirit and in truth. It is only in spirit and truth that you can access the spiritual power and authority needed to establish the kingdom of God here on earth.

Furthermore, it is the only way to know God’s will and discern what is of God and what is not.

To be effective in service to God the believer must become a symbol of power and authority; only then will you be able to help God’s people live up to their righteous standing in Christ.

Therefore, you the church, your message, and your experience must be one of empowerment, deliverance from the things that bind, guidance, comfort, healing, and transformation.

If you and I don’t do this, we will have failed Jesus in completing what He started. If the church is going to be successful, we must do this immediately.

We must strengthen the Church community to establish kingdom rule here on earth as we await Jesus’s return.  Listen, we as a family of born-again believers must do this.

We must empower a generation of believers while developing a new era of Church leadership. Spiritual empowerment and authority are what is going to position the church to drive out Satan’s influence upon the world while establishing the kingdom of God here on earth as we await Jesus’ return.

Justice and Equality

Justice and Equality

Isaiah 59:11,14

As a born-again believer of African Heritage pursuing the mark of the high calling of righteous living, I find myself in these times struggling against the spirit of racism.

This spirit of racism has called for assistance from the spirit of anger and hatred to tempt me. They are crouching at the door of my heart waiting for an opportunity to control my state of mind. Gen. 4:6

The spirit of anger and hatred are on a mission to make me view Caucasians who seek to establish themselves as the superior race throughout the world in the minds of other races as my enemy. Eph. 6:12

In the Caucasians attempt to establish themselves as the superior race in the minds of other races they continue to murder my kindred in cold blood before the whole world supported by injustice, unrighteousness, and inequality, influenced by the spirit of pride, arrogance, and self-righteousness.

Over the past 50 years I have watched and participated briefly in marches and protest for justice and equality in the pursuit of life, liberty, and happiness.

Deep down I believe that all who take this approach, believed it would touch the conscience of those Caucasians who have the power and influence to bring about true change would be moved to stand up against the influence of these depraved spirits working through their people.

I as well as most, deep down know that we do not have the resources or systems in place to fight and win such a battle through physical means.

Although the spirit of pride for generations has led us to fight this way, only to lose more innocent lives all in line with the enemy’s plan. This all, while justice stays silent, nothing changing but the faces and flavor.

The dilemma in this approach is that approximately 50 percent of Caucasians in this country openly support this system of injustice, unrighteousness and inequality influenced by the spirit of pride, arrogance, and self-righteousness. Rom. 2:8,9

Thirty to forty percent of the remaining quietly do nothing in fear of losing their privileges and benefits in their pursuit of life, liberty, and happiness.

The remaining ten to twenty percent are considered casualties of war by those who propagate this gross injustice and immoral behavior.

If I am to see good days and long life in my pursuit of the high calling of righteous living, I must master the spirits of anger and hatred who seek to influence me to make Caucasians my enemy.  2 Cor. 10: 3-6

My desire is for God to experience my love for Him as He has allowed me to experience His love for me. 1 John 3: 1-3

In my pursuit of life, liberty, and happiness and the mark of the high calling of righteousness, I choose to fight against my true enemy, the principalities and powers in heavenly places who are behind this madness, who have already been defeated. Eph. 6: 10-18; 1 Pet. 3:8-12

I choose to allow the Holy Spirit to continue to teach and empower me to love those the enemy wants me to hate, that I may not be distracted by his schemes.  Rom. 12:14-21

This is the only way to access the resources to win this battle for justice, righteousness, and equality for all, and position myself  to set all of the captives free.  Mark 3:23-27

“Until The Whole World Knows”!
