DuPont State Forest Water Falls Hiking

Ahava and I recently got into hiking. In today's video, I'm carrying a backpack in order to practice for the upcoming hiking/camping trips we're planning. In today's video, we visited DuPont State Forest for the day. The forest is about 2 hours west of where we live in Charlotte, NC. There are a number of beautiful waterfalls along the Little River winding through the forest. The trail we walked has a few decent sized hills as it follows the river. The access point of the trail is at Hooker Falls, where a number of people can be seen fly fishing. Afterwards, we went to the Earth Fare market in Asheville, which is about 30 minutes north of the forest. Before heading back home, we stopped for a latte at Green Sage Cage in South Asheville. Below is a link to DuPont State Forest.

Beautiful Violin Worship and CBC Healing

I love when the Holy Spirit takes over worship, especially when the worshippers are good at playing their instruments. Ahava and I were at a seminar in Moravian Falls, NC when this worship occurred. Moravian Falls has an interesting history. Click the link below to read about the town's history.

Words of knowledge for a foster child

If you'll minister to enough people consistently, you'll begin to recognize humble people who've been through tough times in life. Even though Rosemary is young, a strength is developed in her because of the trials. Much like everyone else though, there's still more healing needed. If you watch today's video, you'll pick up on that as I move a bit closer to her. I'm bigger than a lot of people so you can notice how Rosemary leans back a bit when I get too close. People who've been through a lot of "drama" tend to be like this, but they can be healed as they pursue Christ in his word and fellowship with him and other believers.

As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. - Proverbs 27:17

Finding Favor At Cardboard Box Church

A big, fancy church building doesn't necessarily mean the power of God is moving mightily in that place. Church is where 2 or 3 are gathered together in his name and Cardboard Box Church makes that point. Over the past 19 months at Cardboard Box Church, Ahava and I have met hundreds of people who have found favor with God when we ministered to them concerning their needs.

We help people find out who they are in Christ and as a result, God pours out his favor on those who pursue their purpose in him.

A man’s gift makes room for him and brings him before great men. - Proverbs 18:16

Youtube Algorithm Censorship

The censorship of certain Youtube videos began over a year ago, but it's coming to the attention of video creators more now than over the past year because of the yellow $ sign on the video manager page. Before the yellow $ sign on the video manager page began to appear, one would have to go deeper into a search of video analytics in order to see that certain videos were being flagged. Many creators failed to do this because a deeper analysis of video views wasn't prioritized.

I could put links to many conservative videos that cover this topic, but I don't wish to promote anyone's video where they're cussing or saying other offensive things while complaining about the censorship. If you wish to see more, there's no shortage of content on this subject matter.

As a Christian, I do my best to remember not to panic when it seems like my rights are being violated, because the Lord takes care of all that concerns me.

And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. - Romans 8:28

Hiking & Camping

Hiking and camping is a good way to get out into God's creation and experience it without all the modern comforts. Many of us, myself included, are comforted by modern life and we need to experience life without convenience. When we read the bible, we see lives without so much ease. Jesus, when he was ministering on the earth in Israel, often prayed through the night in the outdoors.

In these days, he went out to the mountain to pray, and he continued all night in prayer to God. - Luke 6:12

Paul experienced a lot of trials and often lacked comfort for the flesh.

Are they servants of Christ? (I speak as one beside himself) I am more so; in labors more abundantly, in prisons more abundantly, in stripes above measure, in deaths often. Five times from the Jews I received forty stripes minus one. Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned. Three times I suffered shipwreck. I have been a night and a day in the deep. I have been in travels often, perils of rivers, perils of robbers, perils from my countrymen, perils from the Gentiles, perils in the city, perils in the wilderness, perils in the sea, perils among false brothers; in labor and travail, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, and in cold and nakedness. - 2Corinthians 11:23-27

Teaching And Prayer For Woman To Find Husband

I've been a Spirit filled, born again Christian for over 26 years, but the last 9 years have been the most fulfilling because I've committed myself to serving the Lord and people in the way the Spirit of God has led me to serve. It's important that we serve in our calling and remain consistent in it.

In today's video, I reference Genesis 24 which shows us how Rebekah was quick to refresh a stranger in need. She was handsomely rewarded for her willingness to serve. The bible gives us a proverb that shows this truth.

The generous man will be prosperous and he who waters will himself be watered. - Proverbs 11:25

Since the scriptures are living, they have divine power to change a person's life and bring about a desired result. With this in mind, a woman seeking a God fearing husband should focus on what the bible describes as a valuable wife. Again, the book of Proverbs has good things to teach on this subject. All single, God fearing women who are looking for a husband should meditate daily on these verses:

An excellent wife, who can find?
For her worth is far above jewels.
The heart of her husband trusts in her,
And he will have no lack of gain.
She does him good and not evil
All the days of her life.
She looks for wool and flax
And works with her hands in delight.
She is like merchant ships;
She brings her food from afar.
She rises also while it is still night
And gives food to her household
And portions to her maidens.
She considers a field and buys it;
From her earnings she plants a vineyard.
She girds herself with strength
And makes her arms strong.
She senses that her gain is good;
Her lamp does not go out at night.
She stretches out her hands to the distaff,
And her hands grasp the spindle.
She extends her hand to the poor,
And she stretches out her hands to the needy.
She is not afraid of the snow for her household,
For all her household are clothed with scarlet.
She makes coverings for herself;
Her clothing is fine linen and purple.
Her husband is known in the gates,
When he sits among the elders of the land.
She makes linen garments and sells them,
And supplies belts to the tradesmen.
Strength and dignity are her clothing,
And she smiles at the future.
She opens her mouth in wisdom,
And the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.
She looks well to the ways of her household,
And does not eat the bread of idleness.
Her children rise up and bless her;
Her husband also, and he praises her, saying:
“Many daughters have done nobly,
But you excel them all.”
Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain,
But a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised.
Give her the product of her hands,
And let her works praise her in the gates. - Proverbs 31:10-31

Lastly, don't ever give up. God is able to bring about the desires of your heart, so you need to endure.

We count those blessed who endured. You have heard of the endurance of Job and have seen the outcome of the Lord’s dealings, that the Lord is full of compassion and is merciful. - James 5:11

Ability To Hear Higher Frequencies

The young man in today's video needed to pass a hearing test in order to be admitted to a particular service. He was encouraged to know there's a way to test ability to hear high frequencies and even more encouraged to know that the Lord heals this as well. Below is a link to a page about hearing high frequencies. On the page, there's also a test you can perform on yourself in order to know what frequencies you can hear. I was able to hear the 10,000 Hz, but not the 12,000 Hz.

Akashic Records Reincarnation Portals

Just because a person is able to access spiritual realms and obtain information, it doesn't mean this activity is acceptable to God. The scriptures tell us about a man who accessed God directly through divination and he got correct information. This man is named, "Balaam" and you can read about his activity in Numbers 22-24. As you read these 3 chapters, you might get the impression that there's nothing wrong with Balaam's methods, especially since he obeyed the Lord and said what the Lord told him to say. Balaam basically blessed Israel, but later on in Numbers 31:16, we're told that Balaam was responsible for leading Israel into sexual sin. Because of this, Israel put him to death.

More on Jacket Demon + Vegetable Smoothie

There are many methods the devil uses to deceive us, but they all boil down to one tactic and that is, believing the lie. We get what we believe in this life, so believe the word and reject all of Satan's lies.

While he still spoke, one from the ruler of the synagogue’s house came, saying to him, “Your daughter is dead. Don’t trouble the Teacher.” But Jesus hearing it, answered him, “Don’t be afraid. Only believe, and she will be healed.” - Luke 8:49-50

The devil that the young man was dealing with in yesterday's video, was depression. This demon can really get believers down because it's vey wrong for believers to agree with this wicked demon. Believers are suppose to be extremely excited about their communion with Jesus Christ. We should be filled with joy at all times, just like Paul writes to the Philippians.

Rejoice in the Lord always! Again I will say, “Rejoice!” - Philippians 4:4

The vegetable smoothie I make in today's video has helped me to feel better than anything I consume. Here are the ingredients:
Approximately:
4 oz Spinach
2-3 Carrots, depending on their size
1/4 large Apple
1/2 small to medium Banana
1-2 oz Red Cabbage
3 small Oranges
Small scoop Wheatgrass
16-20 oz Water

Test your servants, I beg you, ten days; and let them give us vegetables to eat, and water to drink. Then let our faces be looked on before you, and the face of the youths who eat of the king’s dainties; and as you see, deal with your servants. So he listened to them in this matter, and proved them ten days. At the end of ten days their faces appeared fairer, and they were fatter in flesh, than all the youths who ate of the king’s dainties. - Daniel 1:12-15

The Demon Takes A Jacket Off

I've experienced many different manifestations when putting people through deliverance. Some of the common manifestations that I will feel are clamminess or nausea. I don't always feel a manifestation in my flesh when someone is being delivered from a demon. The person going through deliverance will feel these as well and could also feel a battle in the gut or extreme lightheadedness.

In today's video I explain a new manifestation I experienced when putting someone through deliverance. When it was happening, I found it a bit difficult to verbalize what I sensed, but as I thought about it, the understanding started to become clear. I sensed as if the demon in this young man took a jacket off before leaving. I realized that the young man was the jacket.

The bible tells us to cloth ourselves with Christ. When we entertain thoughts that are from the enemy, we begin to invite demons. Demons are anxious to mimic spiritual truth and corrupt it. It's a creepy thought to think that a demon is wearing us like a jacket.

Do this, knowing the time, that it is already the hour for you to awaken from sleep; for now salvation is nearer to us than when we believed. The night is almost gone, and the day is near. Therefore let us lay aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. Let us behave properly as in the day, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and sensuality, not in strife and jealousy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh in regard to its lusts. - Romans 13:11-14

New Age Thinking

There's a growing number of people becoming interested in the New Age. I've noticed in my studies that new age thinking is impersonal in the sense that those who follow after this line of thought tend to move away from a personal, intimate relationship with Jesus Christ. Evidence of this is found in the language used. The words, "Christ Consciousness" are used in place of a real relationship with Jesus Christ. The word, "Source" replaces, "Father" when referring to the creator.

God would not have called himself Father if he wasn't interested in a close, personal relationship with the children he has created. With enough investigation you will also discover how new age thought will share every possible religious idea out there, except that of a personal relationship with the Father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.

Severe Back Pain Leaves After Back Pops

If you're ministering to someone who has back pain and their back pops, it's always a good sign. This is similar to the supernatural chiropractic adjustment because when a chiropractor is adjusting someone, the back will often pop many times, releasing tension. Tension, stress and anxiety can build up in the back because of money worries. The Lord doesn't force anyone to trust him, so we need to renew our minds in God's word in order to continue believing that the Lord is our source for everything we need.

“For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they? 

And who of you by being worried can add a single hour to his life? And why are you worried about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin, yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? 

You of little faith! Do not worry then, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear for clothing?’ For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. “So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. - Matthew 6:25-34

Penance vs Repentance

The title may appear combative, but that's not my intention. "vs" is just a way of comparing two viewpoints. One reason, not mentioned in today's video, as to why penance is believed by Roman Catholics is because of the belief that the grace of Christ is imputed to an infant at baptism. Hence, the Roman Catholic believes that grace has already been given to the individual many years ago and so the penance is made because they have the grace of God through that baptism. In other words, I know the grace of Jesus is with me, so I show my repentance through this penance.

Protestants are not proponents of infant baptism because they believe a person has to have a clear understanding as to why they are being baptized and no infant is aware of this. Hence, once they experience the grace of Christ, they are led to repentance and that repentance leads to good works, which can appear as synonymous to penance.

Instant Results For Simon At Cardboard Box Church

Over the years I've ministered healing to many people and then had the healed person immediately minister to someone else. Matthew 10 shows us what we're suppose to be doing after we have experienced the Lord's grace through healing.

As you go, preach, saying, ‘The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!’ Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers and cast out demons. Freely you received, so freely give. - Matthew 10:7-8

Some believers don't think this is for today or even for every believer. The Great commission found in Matthew 28 tells us otherwise.

Jesus came to them and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth. Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I commanded you. Behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen. - Matthew 28:18-20

Take note in theses verses that Jesus is telling his Apostles to teach disciples (YOU AND I) to obey everything he commanded them. Jesus commanded the Apostles to heal the sick, cast out demons, cleanse the lepers and raise the dead. Also, take note that Jesus said he would be with us even to the end of the age.

Two Cysts Disappear

In today's video, a young woman is healed from two cysts on her back that were there for a year. In the situation I mentioned how a person can have issues in their back because of money worries. I made that comment because I've been in enough situations where I'm ministering to a person's back and also recognize money worries in the person's posture or thinking. The article below mentions some causes of cysts, but money worries aren't one of the causes mentioned. However, all the causes mentioned in the article are related to the physical functioning of the body and not the mental state of the person. One cause mentioned is poor drainage. That is what I would relate to worry. Not letting go of worry is synonymous to poor drainage of body fluids.

Ministering with a Rocket Scientist

It's amazing how the Lord will get the attention of people from all areas of expertise. The brother in today's video is literally a rocket scientist. Of course, I had to make a joke by saying, "Supernatural healing is not rocket science." Jim was taught how to minister in the power of God by a good friend of mine named, Doug Collins. Doug and his wife Donna and their children live in Ontario, Canada. Doug has a Youtube Channel named, WINDSOR ON FIRE. Below is a popular video of Jim, the rocket scientist ministering with Doug Collins.

Post Workout Protein Shake

Through the years I've had an interest in working out with weights. When we do resistance exercises with weights, we break down muscle tissue and that tissue needs to repair and rebuild. Protein is a very important molecule for the repair and building of muscle tissue. Below is a link to a good article on this subject.

Supernatural icepack lasting a week

Having a sports background throughout my life, I applied plenty of icepacks on sore, swollen or inflamed injuries. This had always been my first "go to" solution for healing before I started ministering the supernatural healing of the Spirit of God. As a minister, I decided there must be a counterpart in the spiritual for any kind of healing technique used in the natural. Hence, the supernatural icepack. Below is a link to an article to talks about icepacks.

Shocked by a wicked demon!

It's not surprising that demons use electrical energy to hurt people. It's interesting how they can do this without any of us actually touching a live electrical wire. That tells me how the natural realm uses that which already exists in the spirit realm. After all, this natural realm reflects the spirit realm, like that old saying, "As above, so below". In today's video, I mentioned a previously released video about a demonic attack that was electrical in nature. Below is a link to that video.

Why did I see Constantine in a dream?

Dreams are very significant. The Lord will give us dreams to direct our paths. It's amazing how patient God is because my dream of Constantine was several years ago, but this is the first time I'm mentioning it in my ministry. The following links are about Constantine and the Edict of Milan in 313. Watch today's video on my Youtube channel to hear about my dream of Constantine the Roman Emperor.

Purgatory Part 2

It's more than likely that the Roman Catholics see the former compartment of the righteous dead, being Sheol, as Purgatory. This is bad exegesis. In the following portion of text from 2 Macabees, we see the righteous Jews praying for the dead so that a grievous sin would be forgiven. This was done because they lived under the Law of Moses before the redemptive work of Christ on the cross. It was customary to pray for the dead who were in Sheol. Following is a link to 2 Macabees and the portion of the text that describes the situation.

http://www.sacred-texts.com/bib/apo/ma2.htm


Now when they that were with Gorgias had fought long, and were weary, Judas called upon the Lord, that he would shew himself to be their helper and leader of the battle.

And with that he began in his own language, and sung psalms with a loud voice, and rushing unawares upon Gorgias' men, he put them to flight.

So Judas gathered his host, and came into the city of Odollam, And when the seventh day came, they purified themselves, as the custom was, and kept the sabbath in the same place.

And upon the day following, as the use had been, Judas and his company came to take up the bodies of them that were slain, and to bury them with their kinsmen in their fathers' graves.

Now under the coats of every one that was slain they found things consecrated to the idols of the Jamnites, which is forbidden the Jews by the law. Then every man saw that this was the cause wherefore they were slain.

All men therefore praising the Lord, the righteous Judge, who had opened the things that were hid,

Betook themselves unto prayer, and besought him that the sin committed might wholly be put out of remembrance. Besides, that noble Judas exhorted the people to keep themselves from sin, forsomuch as they saw before their eyes the things that came to pass for the sins of those that were slain.

And when he had made a gathering throughout the company to the sum of two thousand drachms of silver, he sent it to Jerusalem to offer a sin offering, doing therein very well and honestly, in that he was mindful of the resurrection:

For if he had not hoped that they that were slain should have risen again, it had been superfluous and vain to pray for the dead.

And also in that he perceived that there was great favour laid up for those that died godly, it was an holy and good thought. Whereupon he made a reconciliation for the dead, that they might be delivered from sin. - 2 Macabees 12:36-45

Purgatory Part 1

Purgatory is a Roman Catholic doctrine that has been challenged by Protestants. Roman Catholics use scripture to sight this doctrine, but Protestants believe Roman Catholics are merely reading into the text something that isn't there. This is why perspective matters. You can make scripture say just about anything you want it to say and fool people who haven't diligently studied the scripture. The story of the unmerciful servant in Matthew 18 is one such case. Roman Catholics call the prison cell in this story, "The debtor's prison". The unmerciful servant from the Matthew 18 story was thrown into this prison cell until he should pay off the debt in it's entirety. Roman Catholics see this as a chance to finally exit this prison and be free. One big problem with this analysis is that the symbolism is meant to show us that the debt won't get paid because we're not good enough in our own righteousness to make this payment.

“For this reason the kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who wished to settle accounts with his slaves. When he had begun to settle them, one who owed him ten thousand talents was brought to him. But since he did not have the means to repay, his lord commanded him to be sold, along with his wife and children and all that he had, and repayment to be made. So the slave fell to the ground and prostrated himself before him, saying, ‘Have patience with me and I will repay you everything.’ And the lord of that slave felt compassion and released him and forgave him the debt.  But that slave went out and found one of his fellow slaves who owed him a hundred denarii; and he seized him and began to choke him, saying, ‘Pay back what you owe.’ So his fellow slave fell to the ground and began to plead with him, saying, ‘Have patience with me and I will repay you.’ But he was unwilling and went and threw him in prison until he should pay back what was owed. So when his fellow slaves saw what had happened, they were deeply grieved and came and reported to their lord all that had happened. Then summoning him, his lord said to him, ‘You wicked slave, I forgave you all that debt because you pleaded with me. Should you not also have had mercy on your fellow slave, in the same way that I had mercy on you?’ And his lord, moved with anger, handed him over to the torturers until he should repay all that was owed him. My heavenly Father will also do the same to you, if each of you does not forgive his brother from your heart.” - Matthew 18:23-35 

Run over by an 18 wheeler

In this video, I say to the man receiving healing, that his sins are forgiven. In the past I've been met with resistance for saying this by those who don't understand authority or their relationship with the Holy Spirit. The scripture that teaches us this is in the gospel of John. It's in the context of having the Holy Spirit, which automatically implies that the disciple is taking his instructions from the Spirit.

When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples therefore were glad when they saw the Lord. Jesus therefore said to them again, “Peace be to you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you.” When he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit! If you forgive anyone’s sins, they have been forgiven them. If you retain anyone’s sins, they have been retained.” - John 20:20-23

Martin Luther and Indulgences

Martin Luther, the Protestant Reformer wrote his 95 Thesis to protest the corruption of Johann Tetzel and the way he collected indulgences for the Papacy. Indulgences are basically money. It's the same as giving alms into the Roman Catholic Church. Tetzel even went as far as to tell people that they could pay off future sins by giving an indulgence. One of the corrupt results of this practice was that people thought that they didn't have to repent of their sins or even feel bad about them.

Here's a link to read the 95 Thesis:

Is Pope Francis a heretic?

Adding to what I said on this video, I site scripture to counter the claim that the Pope sits on the seat of Peter. The Papacy uses this claim concerning Peter because they think Jesus was referring to Peter when he said that he would build his church, "upon this rock" (Matthew 16:18). Protestants do not believe that Jesus was referring to Peter as the rock that he would build his church on.  Martin Luther, the Protestant Reformer, opposed this Roman Catholic teaching by siting scripture (1Corinthians 3:11). Here are both verses.

I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it. - Matthew 16:18

For no man can lay a foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. - 1Corinthians 3:11

Here's the link to the article I mentioned in the video:

Yom Kippur

Today, September 29, 2017 at sundown marks the beginning of the Jewish Day of Atonement, also known as Yom Kippur. In the Law of Moses, the Jews had their sins for that year covered through the shedding of blood, particularly that of bulls and goats. Leviticus 16 explains the requirements for this atonement and it points to the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Jesus, has for all time, become a sacrifice for sins by offering up himself.

Then Aaron shall offer the bull for the sin offering which is for himself, that he may make atonement for himself and for his household. He shall take the two goats and present them before the Lord at the doorway of the tent of meeting. Aaron shall cast lots for the two goats, one lot for the Lord and the other lot for the scapegoat. Then Aaron shall offer the goat on which the lot for the Lord fell, and make it a sin offering. But the goat on which the lot for the scapegoat fell shall be presented alive before the Lord, to make atonement upon it, to send it into the wilderness as the scapegoat. - Leviticus 16:6-10 

The oppression of black people

There's no denying, in my opinion, that there is oppression of black people. But, to be honest, there's oppression of white people as well because it's Satan who is the author of oppression and not white people. Satan deceives disobedient white people. Most people judge by what they see with their natural eyes. If you're a Christian and you resist Satan's lies and live from the perspective of heaven's culture, no one can stop the Lord's blessing from coming on you. There are some verses in Isaiah that I love which show how Jesus doesn't judge the way people in the flesh judge.

Then a shoot will spring from the stem of Jesse and a branch from his roots will bear fruit. The Spirit of the Lord will rest on Him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and strength, the spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord. And He will delight in the fear of the Lord and He will not judge by what His eyes see, nor make a decision by what His ears hear; - Isaiah 11:1-3

Hearing

I've experienced a number of people getting their hearing improved lately. I believe the Lord is speaking to the body of Christ and we need to be listening. We need to hear what he is saying because of the troubling times coming upon America and the world. God is able to deliver his people from trouble and I believe he will, but we need to be walking uprightly before him in order to receive instructions on what to do. We must not have any idols in our hearts.

Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.
They have mouths, but they don’t speak.
They have eyes, but they don’t see.
They have ears, but they don’t hear.
They have noses, but they don’t smell.
They have hands, but they don’t feel.
They have feet, but they don’t walk, neither do they speak through their throat.
Those who make them will be like them; yes, everyone who trusts in them. - Psalm 115:4-8

President Trump and the NFL

Many black NFL players that are protesting inequality in America are not recognizing how they themselves have succeeded in America, the country that supposedly is not being fair to black people. Instead of causing division, they should be telling other black people that they can succeed in America, just like they have. The American people are not agreeing with these professional athletes and the evidence of this is seen in the ratings.

Satan is doing whatever he can to cause racial division in America in order to bring down America and usher in his New World Order. We Christians need to keep this issue in prayer and ask the Lord to bring a clear understanding of what is right. The Lord is faithful and he will do it. Judgment is coming on all wrong thinking in this country in order to save as many souls as possible from going to hell.

President Trump and Witches

Keep President Trump in prayer because there's an ongoing attempt to remove him from office. Many of these attacks come from within government, but there's also a lot of demonic activity coming from witches who want to put a curse on the President. Here's a link to an interesting Tucker Carlson interview with a witch.

Also, here's my, not exactly 5 minute video for today.

Revelation 12 Sign

I believe the sign appearing in the night sky on September 23rd, 2017 is the sign described in Revelation 12, but all of Revelation 12 needs to be taken into consideration for us to know what all this means. Perhaps this sign is an indicator that the antichrist is about to be revealed through Satan. I say this because chapter 12 tells us that Satan is cast to the earth after this sign appears in the heavens. We, the body of Christ must be very diligent in our walk with Christ in these days ahead.

A great sign was seen in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. 2 She was with child. She cried out in pain, laboring to give birth. 3 Another sign was seen in heaven. Behold, a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads seven crowns. 4 His tail drew one third of the stars of the sky, and threw them to the earth. The dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she gave birth he might devour her child. 5 She gave birth to a son, a male child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron. Her child was caught up to God, and to his throne. 6 The woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that there they may nourish her one thousand two hundred sixty days.

7 There was war in the sky. Michael and his angels made war on the dragon. The dragon and his angels made war. 8 They didn’t prevail, neither was a place found for him any more in heaven. 9 The great dragon was thrown down, the old serpent, he who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world. He was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him. 10 I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, “Now the salvation, the power, and the Kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ has come; for the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, who accuses them before our God day and night. 11 They overcame him because of the Lamb’s blood, and because of the word of their testimony. They didn’t love their life, even to death. 12 Therefore rejoice, heavens, and you who dwell in them. Woe to the earth and to the sea, because the devil has gone down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has but a short time.”

13 When the dragon saw that he was thrown down to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male child. 14 Two wings of the great eagle were given to the woman, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, so that she might be nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. 15 The serpent spewed water out of his mouth after the woman like a river, that he might cause her to be carried away by the stream. 16 The earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the river which the dragon spewed out of his mouth. 17 The dragon grew angry with the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her offspring,[a] who keep God’s commandments and hold Jesus’ testimony.

CBC is NOT a 501c3

No church is required to become a 501c3 under the IRS. All churches are automatically tax exempt and all donations are tax deductible. Churches should never be restricted from preaching politics from the pulpit. We want God-fearing men and women serving in our nation's government. It's time for wickedness to go into hiding.

The wicked flee when no one pursues; but the righteous are as bold as a lion. - Proverbs 28:1

The devil works on legalities

Because I say the devil works on legalities, it doesn't mean I'm saying we are justified by the keeping of the Law of Moses. An example of trying to be justified by the Law of Moses would be, "I've kept all the commandments, so now I should be allowed into heaven".

An example of the devil working on legalities can be found in many scripture verses. Here's one:

“Be angry, and don’t sin.” Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath and don’t give place to the devil.  - Ephesians 4:26

The devil looks for footholds. If you become angry with someone and don't forgive that person, you're giving the devil a foothold in your life.

Youtube Police

Do your best to avoid people who police Youtube videos in order to correct what they perceive as wrong teaching. This usually comes from people who are angry and hurt. These people are not ready to receive the truth and so they're difficult to reach. The bible tells us to avoid a divisive person.

Now I beg you, brothers, look out for those who are causing the divisions and occasions of stumbling, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and turn away from them. 

                                                                                                                              - Romans 16:17

Esau killed Nimrod

Recently, I've been reading the extra-biblical text of the Book of Jasher. This particular book is mentioned in the bible twice, thereby giving it credibility. What caught my attention about the account of Esau killing Nimrod is that both these men were wicked in the eyes of God.

Many Christians entertain thoughts of disaster and doom in these last days, but it shouldn't be. God protects his people and the disobedient are sent against the disobedient. God's people need to follow the leading of the Spirit in order to avoid Satan's attacks. As we progress further along into bizarre times on the earth, keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith.

Here's an excerpt from the 27th chapter of the Book of Jasher:

1 And Esau at that time, after the death of Abraham, frequently went in the field to hunt.

2 And Nimrod king of Babel, the same was Amraphel, also frequently went with his mighty men to hunt in the field, and to walk about with his men in the cool of the day.

3 And Nimrod was observing Esau all the days, for a jealousy was formed in the heart of Nimrod against Esau all the days.

4 And on a certain day Esau went in the field to hunt, and he found Nimrod walking in the wilderness with his two men.

5 And all his mighty men and his people were with him in the wilderness, but they removed at a distance from him, and they went from him in different directions to hunt, and Esau concealed himself for Nimrod, and he lurked for him in the wilderness.

6 And Nimrod and his men that were with him did not know him, and Nimrod and his men frequently walked about in the field at the cool of the day, and to know where his men were hunting in the field.

7 And Nimrod and two of his men that were with him came to the place where they were, when Esau started suddenly from his lurking place, and drew his sword, and hastened and ran to Nimrod and cut off his head.

8 And Esau fought a desperate fight with the two men that were with Nimrod, and when they called out to him, Esau turned to them and smote them to death with his sword.

Neurological Disease

Yesterday I made a video previewing a healing situation that I would show today. However, I made a blunder. I accidentally deleted the situation off my phone and also the recently deleted files because I wasn't paying attention. However, I've uploaded another healing situation that is just as awesome.

The young man in this video was born with a neurological disorder/disease, but he forgot what it was called. He had adapted to this and just thought that this was the way it is with him. I'm sure the enemy has used many people, including Christians, to tell him he will always have this disease. Please keep him in prayer so that the enemy doesn't successfully bring doubt into his mind.

Preview of paralysis beginning to heal

The reason why I'm doing videos 5 days a week is because there's so much to talk about. Besides healing videos, I'll be bringing up news events and also talking about and showing you my eating habits. We need to eat well and be strong and ready for these last days before the return of Jesus Christ.

Also, I hope you enjoy this preview of tomorrow's healing video in which a young man with paralysis begins to heal. The greater works are being displayed more and more as we get closer to the end.

555 Truth - Eyesight Improves

Cardboard Box Church is a non-profit corporation and a legally registered church. If you want to be a member, send me an email to cardboardboxchurch@gmail.com. Also, sign up with your email to this blog at the bottom right column.

In this video a humble young man's eyesight improves. I prayed for him 3 times and each time his vision became more clear. I could've kept praying for him, but preferred that he stood on the word himself to keep speaking over his eyes for more improvement.

Therefore I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they will be granted you. - Mark 11:24

Will Venezuela dump the U.S. dollar?

Venezuela's economy is not doing well. Venezuela President Nicolas Maduro has plans to dump the U.S. dollar and use other currencies to sell the oil that the country sits on. Venezuela just so happens to sit atop the largest oil reserves in the world. The switch will cause major problems for the U.S. economy. However, as Christians believing in a supernatural, amazing God, we should be trusting the Lord for everything we need.

Below is a link to an interesting article that explains what is happening with Venezuela and it's oil.
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-09-08/venezuela-about-ditch-dollar-major-blow-us-heres-why-it-matters

Also, I've posted my video about this matter.

Is Judgment Coming?

Judgment is definitely coming, but until it does, we're to contend for the faith and the lost people of the world. If people don't repent, they are not going to be happy when the day of Judgment arrives and they're locked out from the presence of the Lord.

Many believers prayed and Hurricane Irma weakened. Another hurricane is on the way, as well as earthquakes because of massive solar flares. All that is happening will get the attention of some people that need to repent.

Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” Peter said to them, “Repent, and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. - Acts 2:37-38

Authority to move storms

There's much to learn about the power resident within the Spirit filled believer. There are gifts of the Spirit that make ministering to people a breeze. However, knowing your authority in Christ takes studying the scripture and believing what it says about who you are in Christ. Jesus clearly showed us the connection between faith and knowing our authority. At this moment, the state of Florida could use some of that authority in Christ released in its direction to push Hurricane Irma out to sea.

The centurion answered, “Lord, I’m not worthy for you to come under my roof. Just say the word, and my servant will be healed. For I am also a man under authority, having under myself soldiers. I tell this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and tell another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and tell my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.” When Jesus heard it, he marveled, and said to those who followed, “Most certainly I tell you, I haven’t found so great a faith, not even in Israel. - Matthew 8:8-11

Being aggressive against the work of the enemy

When Jesus made a whip out of cords and drove the money changers out of the temple, his act was prophetic and pointed to future corruption within the body of Christ. There are many wealthy Christians who financially support churches that are seeker friendly. These churches are more interested in money than they are with spreading the truth about the kingdom of heaven within the believer. Learn the truth of who you are in Christ, walk in holiness and be a doer of the word. You are made to destroy darkness.

Jesus entered into the temple of God, and drove out all of those who sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the money changers’ tables and the seats of those who sold the doves. He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a den of robbers!” - Matthew 21:12-13

Weird dream about Kim Jung-un

I've had many cool dreams, but also many weird dreams. One dream I had recently was definitely cray cray. I saw the North Korean dictator, Kim Jung-un as a Roman Catholic Priest. He was at the altar leading mass and preparing the Eucharist. I don't believe for a minute that this man is a Christian. Dreams are symbolic and what I get from this, is that he has a death wish. However, since God doesn't want anyone to perish, we should pray for this man's salvation, so that he isn't fixated on having his, "Last Supper".

...then you scare me with dreams, and terrify me through visions: - Job 7:14

Complacency builds on sand

Over the years I've noticed how complacency is one of the biggest problems for the believer. Complacency will cause believers to be spectators instead of participants. The bible tells us that we're not justified by works, but that's referring to the works of the Law. However, the works produced by faith are necessary. Jesus made it clear that our actions show our belief.

“Everyone therefore who hears these words of mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man, who built his house on a rock. The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house; and it didn’t fall, for it was founded on the rock. Everyone who hears these words of mine, and doesn’t do them will be like a foolish man, who built his house on the sand. The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house; and it fell—and great was its fall.” - Matthew 7:24-27

Cardboard Box Church is a "New Thing"

Often when I tell people about Cardboard Box Church, they don't quite grasp it. I'll say Cardboard Box Church is my church and I'm the pastor. They'll chuckle a bit and then ask me where I go to church. Many Christians don't realize how they've been programmed to think a certain way. God will never let anyone program him. You can't put God in box.

See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? - Isaiah 43:19A

                                                                                                                                       

Sharing with Muslims how God wants to be their Father

Recently, I ministered to a couple of Muslim men. One of them had back pain and was instantly healed when I ministered to him. Afterwards, I shared how God wanted to be a Father to Muslims, but that Muslims are taught by Mohammed that God is not a Father. This may be because Mohammed never had a father figure in his life. His dad died before he was born. After he was born, his mother put him in a foster home for a number of years. At the age of 6, he was taken from the foster home and back into the care of his mother until she died 2 years later. After this, he was taken into the care of his grandfather. Mohammed never knew how to relate to a father.

I will be to you a Father. You will be to me sons and daughters,’ says the Lord Almighty.” - 2Corinthians 6:18

What does the word, "Allah" mean in Hebrew?

The word "Allah" in Hebrew means, "the curse". Muslims use this word in Arabic to mean, "God". An interesting verse in Isaiah shows us how Islam is a curse devouring the whole earth. The scripture verse also shows us how true believers won't be here, as the earth is devoured by this curse. The reason for this is because true believers are not guilty, like those who are on the earth at the time that this curse is devouring.

Therefore the curse has devoured the earth, and those who dwell therein are found guilty. - Isaiah 24:6

Looters In Houston To Face Tougher Sentences

Looters in Houston will be facing tougher penalties for their evil deeds. It's disgraceful when wicked people take advantage of others when they're down. God's word has something to say about this. In fact, as you read the beginning of the book of Proverbs, the admonition to avoid such wickedness is the first advice given to the reader.

My son, if sinful men entice you, do not give in to them. If they say, “Come along with us; let’s lie in wait for innocent blood, let’s ambush some harmless soul; let’s swallow them alive, like the grave,

and whole, like those who go down to the pit; we will get all sorts of valuable things and fill our houses with plunder; cast lots with us; we will all share the loot”— my son, do not go along with them, do not set foot on their paths; for their feet rush into evil, they are swift to shed blood. How useless to spread a net where every bird can see it! These men lie in wait for their own blood; they ambush only themselves! Such are the paths of all who go after ill-gotten gain; it takes away the life of those who get it. - Proverbs 1:10-19

Provocation from Kim Jong-un

The North Korean dictator, Kim Jong-un fired a ballistic missile over Japan today. I pray the Lord removes this man from power because he keeps provoking a war. Provocation is no small matter. Anyone who has ever walked a long way with wet sand in the shoes, knows how frustrating that can be.

A stone is heavy, and sand is a burden; but a fool’s provocation is heavier than both. - Proverbs 27:3

Praying for the people of Texas devastated by Hurricane Harvey

I've been praying that the Lord would move his people in Texas to safety until this destruction has passed. When terrible things happen, we need to lean on the word of God with all our heart, mind, soul and strength.

Be gracious to me, O God, be gracious to me, for my soul takes refuge in You; And in the shadow of Your wings I will take refuge until destruction passes by. - Psalm 57:1

Hurricane Harvey and America's call to repentance

The body of Christ should pray for the Texas coast as Hurricane Harvey makes landfall. Some people believe devastating storms are not sent from God and others believe they are. I believe it could be either. Scripture shows us that when God was getting the attention of Elijah, there were various examples of the power of nature forces.

He said, “Go out, and stand on the mountain before Yahweh.” Behold, Yahweh passed by, and a great and strong wind tore the mountains, and broke in pieces the rocks before Yahweh; but Yahweh was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake; but Yahweh was not in the earthquake.  After the earthquake a fire passed; but Yahweh was not in the fire. After the fire, there was a still small voice. When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his mantle, went out, and stood in the entrance of the cave. Behold, a voice came to him, and said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?” - 1Kings 19:11-13

This would be an example of why God doesn't send natural disasters. But, to be more specific, these verses apply to Elijah the prophet of God. He was highly esteemed of God. Judgment was not for Elijah. I believe God was simply helping Elijah to not be afraid of this world and all its wicked threats.

Scripture also supports the explanation of natural disasters as being the judgment of God. If you don't believe that, just read the Book of Revelation. Granted, we would have to know for sure that judgment has come, because it's widely agreed that we live in the dispensation of Grace. However, it's also clear that we're approaching the end of the age. We just had a Solar Eclipse, which has often been seen as a sign of possible judgment. Is it a coincidence that the hurricane of all hurricanes is about to hit America during the 40 days between a Solar Eclipse and the Day of Atonement?

Is Pope Francis the False Prophet of Revelation?

Pope Francis has made a number of decisions that conservative Catholics see as being against traditional Catholic doctrine. The Pope is a left wing globalist. Canon lawyers and theologians for the Vatican hosted a conference in Paris this past March to discuss “how to depose a heretical pope”? (http://www.crossmap.com/news/canon-lawyers-and-theologians-to-hold-conference-on-deposing-the-pope-31709)

If you're Roman Catholic, you need to stay informed concerning both the decisions that Pope Francis makes and what the bible says about the last days False Prophet.

Francis of Assisi, who is one of my favorite Christians ever, wrote this concerning the last Pope: "At the time of this tribulation a man, not canonically elected, will be raised to the Pontificate, who, by his cunning, will endeavor to draw many into error and death.…for in those days Jesus Christ will send them not a true Pastor, but a destroyer."

I saw another beast coming up out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke like a dragon. He exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence. He makes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose fatal wound was healed. He performs great signs, even making fire come down out of the sky to the earth in the sight of people. He deceives my own people who dwell on the earth because of the signs he was granted to do in front of the beast; saying to those who dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast who had the sword wound and lived. It was given to him to give breath to it, to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause as many as wouldn’t worship the image of the beast to be killed. He causes all, the small and the great, the rich and the poor, and the free and the slave, to be given marks on their right hands, or on their foreheads; and that no one would be able to buy or to sell, unless he has that mark, the name of the beast or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. He who has understanding, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. His number is six hundred sixty-six. - Revelation 13:11-18

False accusations of President Trump

The left keeps fomenting despicable lies about President Trump in order to incite civil war in America. At yesterday's rally in Phoenix, Arizona, professional agitators showed up to disrupt the peace. Someone, or a number of people brought a big-blow up doll of President Trump, depicting him as a member of the KKK. If you have discernment of right and wrong, you'll know how wrong this accusation is. President Trump has displayed a love for all races over and over again through his words and actions, but the left has no discernment of God's ways and so they continue to make wicked accusations.

Proverbs 25:18 shows the violent nature associated with those who falsely accuse.

Like a club or a sword or a sharp arrow is one who gives false testimony against a neighbor. - Proverbs 25:18

Mockers are desperate to belittle the President

It never ceases to amaze me how the left and Godless people keep trying to belittle President Trump. Yesterday, during the Solar Eclipse, President Trump looked at the sun without those ridiculous sun-glasses on and the media is now trying to make him look like an idiot. It's deplorable how Godless people disrespect a man who, at the age of 71, decided to drain the swamp of American politics, with his own money.

I looked at the sun without those ridiculous sun-glasses on as well. My eyes are doing fine and I will not have any damage to my eyes. I would like to see the proof that looking at a Solar Eclipse is such a horrible thing to do. Just because NASA says you shouldn't do it, doesn't mean they're right. In fact, much of what NASA says is a lie anyway, so why trust them.

In this last hour, filled with mockers, we need to have discernment from the Spirit of God to know what is right and what is wrong.

Drive out the mocker, and strife will go out; yes, quarrels and insults will stop. - Proverbs 22:10

Liberty for the creation

The signs that God gives in the heavens don't point to a definite conclusion. Today's sign of a Solar Eclipse could mean judgment or mercy, depending on the behavior of God's people over the coming months. Let us get our houses in order and be vigilant concerning prayer for America, President Trump, our families, Israel and the world. I'm interested in gematria, which is the study of biblical numbers, so I will be focusing my prayer in a positive way, as Romans 8:21 tells us. (Today is 8/21)

...that the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of decay into the liberty of the glory of the children of God. - Romans 8:21

Who should I minister to?

Although the Lord loves everyone, not everyone is ready to receive. I've learned this through the experience of speaking to thousands and thousands of people one on one over the past 9 years. This is why it's important to discern what the Lord is doing. We want to get involved in what the Lord is doing because that is what will be fruitful.

He who corrects a mocker invites insult. He who reproves a wicked man invites abuse. Don’t reprove a scoffer, lest he hate you. Reprove a wise man, and he will love you. - Proverbs 8:7-8

Antifa (Anti-Fascists) are not Christians

Yesterday I wrote about how White Supremacists and Neo-Nazi's are not Christian, even if they claim to be. Today I want to make the point that the Anti-Fascists (antifa) are not Christian either, although they seemingly oppose the hate and bigotry of White Supremacists and Neo-Nazi's. When President Trump denounced both sides of the Charlottesville situation, he wasn't supporting White Supremacists and Neo-Nazi's, as many liberals claim he was. The evidence is very clear how both sides are exhibiting behavior that is not Christian behavior. Video of the situation shows both the White Supremacists and the Anti-Fascists using carnal weapons to hurt people.

For though we walk in the flesh, we don’t wage war according to the flesh; for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds  -2Corinthians 10:3-4

White Supremacists are not Christians

I wouldn't call white supremacists or neo-nazi's far-right, but rather, far-left. These groups are not conservative and they certainly don't represent accurate Christian theology. Many of them would call themselves Christians, but that means nothing. Someone can say they're Christian until they're blue in the face, but that doesn't make them Christian.

Now I beg you, brothers, look out for those who are causing the divisions and occasions of stumbling, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and turn away from them. For those who are such don’t serve our Lord, Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by their smooth and flattering speech, they deceive the hearts of the innocent. - Romans 16:17-18

The Fragrance of Life

Allow the Holy Spirit to guide you into all that the Lord has for you. This world operates from a system that decays. The world will make you labor and toil and then try and steal what's yours. The Kingdom of Heaven doesn't work like that. The Holy Spirit is constantly looking to invite Jesus into your daily walk, so that what's produced will draw people to Jesus. Fruit that will last.

Awake, O north wind and come, wind of the south; Make my garden breathe out fragrance. Let its spices be wafted abroad. May my beloved come into his garden and eat its choice fruits!” - Song of Solomon 4:16

How to develop a love for God

Many believers want to know what to do in order to develop a relationship with the Lord. There are any number of scripture verses that can help you. Here are four verses from Psalm 105. Put this into action and you'll see great progress.

Oh give thanks to the Lord, call upon His name; Make known His deeds among the peoples. Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; Speak of all His wonders. Glory in His holy name; Let the heart of those who seek the Lord be glad. Seek the Lord and His strength; Seek His face continually. - Psalm 105:1-4

A spirit empowers you

Many people don't recognize the impact of the spirit realm. All people have a spirit sent from God that gives life at conception. Because of the sin nature, that spirit is dead. Not dead in the sense that it doesn't have the ability to keep our heart beating, but dead in the sense that we are separated from God because of sin. When Paul was in Athens, he was talking to unbelievers when he said that God gives us life and breath and the ability to have our being.

...for in Him we live and move and exist, as even some of your own poets have said, ‘For we also are His children.’ - Acts 17:28

An encounter with God will change you

Many people who say they believe in Jesus Christ are really believing in what he taught. They're believing in the doctrine of Jesus. That's a great start, but there's much more. Knowing Him through an encounter, will change your life and bring you to the place of truly recognizing your spiritual condition. Job was an amazing man on the earth and after his severe trials, he came to understand both God and himself.

“I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear, But now my eye sees You. Therefore I abhor myself, And repent in dust and ashes.” - Job 42:5-6

All things work together for good...

Wow! What a day we had with Cardboard Box Church. I don't refer to healing miracles, but rather to persecution. Without getting into too many details, the trouble brought the police who told us we couldn't do this (Cardboard Box Church) legally and if we've been doing it without the police stopping us, it's because certain officers didn't fully know the ordinances. Long story short, we were directed to an organization in town that showed us how to do this legally and in a better location. What the devil meant for trouble, the Lord turned around for good.

We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose. - Romans 8:28

Remaining in Him

Although salvation is a work of God and not of ourselves, it's important to remember our role in believing. When someone hears the gospel message clearly and receives Christ, that person is coming into agreement with the terms of the covenant. The terms of the covenant includes, continuing to believe just as from the beginning.

As for you, let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the Son and in the Father. - 1John 2:24

Is there correction in grace?

The grace of God builds us up and encourages us. We're taught to grow in grace, but grace without reproof is no grace at all.

For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men, instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously and godly in the present age, - Titus 2:11-12

Rightly dividing the word

Many Christians take scripture out of context. For instance, Isaiah 55:8 says,

"For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways," declares the LORD.

Because of this verse, people think it's not possible to figure out God, but they fail to see the context of that verse, which shows us that the Lord is speaking about the wicked man. We can see this clearly by what verse 7 says.

Let the wicked forsake his way And the unrighteous man his thoughts; And let him return to the LORD, And He will have compassion on him, And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon.

However, the Christian is a new creation. We have the mind of Christ, who is God.

For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he will instruct him. But we have the mind of Christ. - 1Corinthians 2:16
