if you have never encountered the unseen forces up close and personal, then you might not know what i am talking about!
many people have,
and there battle was definitely not a pleasant one!
now some folk's can go through their whole life not even running into the torment, possesion, strongholds, and such... why because they are already captive of the devil and he doesn't seek to destroy them, because he knows where they are going for rejecting God!
but on the other hand, a christian is envolved in an ongoing battle for their eternal life!
you don't just have the devil trying to destroy you, oh no! you got the fallen angels or demons, that work constantly to see your ruin!
why do you think that paul says to be strong in the Lord, and stand firm in your faith? he tells you to resist the devil and he will flee from you...
well,what about the other unseen forces that work at bringing about your destruction?
the hidden things that work through others like your friends, and family... and get this sometimes even taunt you in your flesh? and may even manifest in other areas in your life...
these are the things the paul talks about, in the scripture pertaining to wrestling not with flesh and blood!
Christians know this, and often prepare themselves for battle against the opposition!
the forces that try to destroy their relationship with God!
every christian should educate themselves on building a strong relationship with God, calling on the name of Christ when confronted by demonic forces
the Holy Spirit that God sent to us is more than just a comforter, he is a most powerful force that resides inside of you! also we are covered with the blood...
who does not know that? listen, greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world...
what is te spirit that is in the world, not the spirit that is from God, but the one that is evil!
these spirits that are in the world are the things that paul mentioned, the principalities in high places. the spiritual beings (wicked in the nature.) unholy and whom do they serve?
yep you guessed it! so there cause is to bring about the destruction of your soul...
i found a website that had many revealing facts about this sort of thing!
it is a christian website that is very information. i do not endorse or agree with anything other than scripture and the Word of God
so i can tell you it's all backed up, by verse and true reference.
check into it!

RACISM and DIVISION AMONG BELIEVERS?

This boggles my mind!
as bad as is sounds it is evident in some churches and in some religious communities!
generally it's people who follow a culture, instead of a God, who in fact has never been about that among his people, only in terms of the wicked...
what is this whole thing, with the denominations as well! i am a baptist, or a catholic, or pentecostal, etc... do we even have the same christ! i understand people having different ways to express their love for God, but what's with the division? african american, asian, indian, latin, and so forth! we all have cultural differences, but are we in christ!
are we all the body of christ? are we all what is considered the unified church as a whole?
i ask you where does the racsim come from, no one can say they are a believer, and they're in christ! and yet have a racist heart inside them! we have seen this kind of thing throughout history already! and yet today we even have men and woman of faith who refuse to even look at someone outside of the race as a possible mate!
why because they think it's not right! who is it not right with, God or man? have you ever come across a scripture verse that said that? how about this one, love your neighbor as yourself, or this one, how can a person say they love God whom they have not seen, and hate their brother which they have seen! the love of the father is not in them... now, not just addressing the issue of loving ones not like yourself, or in your own little social class... but as a christian to truly know God's love for all is to truly love all! you can separate your self from the wicked and the sinful, only in the case of preventing yourself from falling into the same snares, but to be a witness to them is your soul purpose for the sake of their salvation!
we separate ourselves from other christians because of foolish things! like race? i have heard people say ridiculous comments like, i don't go to those white churches, huh? what do you mean? i thought the folk's in there were having a worship service just like in the black church? get out of here with that type of nonsense... sometimes i worship down at the river, am i at fault? perhaps it was not even worship, maybe someone my say i need to go to a building to worship and fellowship!(example)
i just want to know what's the big deal!
loving God with your heart reveals who you are on the outside! you don't follow the crowd, but indeed you follow CHRIST!
if i would not marry someone because of their race, but infact we both are God fearing believers and are not of unequal yoke, meaning (we believe that christ bore are sins on the cross and because of that we have life through him, granting we believe he died for us, and yet rose again! proving both his claim as the of the living GOD and the savior that has come into the world to give the gift of eternal life to all who believe! ok, not i am a baptist, you are a catholic... when you live that way you follow traditions of men, as the word of God explains, not the word of God that says everyone who is in christ is your brother, your sister, your mother! this is the body of christ, there should not be such division, but yet there are on many different levels from your neighbors home to the pulpit, or cathedral if you hear what i am saying!
who will be for God?
i just wonder who really is loving their neighbor as thyself!

WHEN IT COMES TO FINDING A REAL SINCERE PERSON IN THE WILL OF GOD, IT SHOULD BE A SIMPLE TASK!
BUT I AM AFRAID THAT MOST OF THE WOMEN I SEE ON HERE ARE MORE MATERIAL-MINDED, THAN SPIRTUAL-MINDED.
A MAN SHOULD BE DRIVEN BY THE DESIRE TO PLEASE GOD, WOMAN WHO SAY THEY ARE OF CHRIST, SHOULD BE MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THAT, OTHER THAN HOW GOOD LOOKING HE IS, WHERE HE WORKS, WHAT KIND OF CLOTHES DOES HE WEAR, OR IF HE HAS A BACHELORS DEGREE, WHAT DOES ANY OF THOSE SUPERFICIAL AND MATERIAL THINGS HAVE TO DO WITH HIS HEART AND SOUL.
DOES THOSE THINGS TELL YOU HOW MUCH HE IS WILLING TO LIVE BY FAITH? DO THOSE THINGS TELL A WOMAN, THAT HE WILL BE A DEEPLY PASSIONATE ABOUT FOLLOWING CHRIST! AGAIN I SAY FINDING A MATE SHOULD NEVER BE THIS HARD, BUT IT IS BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE SELFISH, AND HAVE THEIR OWN AGENDA'S WHEN IT COMES TO BEING A BELIEVER, WOMEN ARE LOOKING MORE AT WHAT A MAN IS ALL ABOUT IN A MATERIAL WAY, AND NOT IN A SPIRTUAL WAY!
THAT MAKES YOUR FOCUS APPEAR TO BE ONLY ABOUT THE WORLD WE CURRENTLY LIVE IN, NOT THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND THE LIFE BEYOND HERE!
I AM FED UP WITH DECEITFUL LYING PEOPLE, YOU ARE NOT SEEKING THE RICHES AND GLORY OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD BECAUSE THEY ONLY WANT TO BE FILLED ON THIS EARTH.
I'M A BIT TIRED OF THE WHOLE I DON'T WANT TO STRUGGLE PLEA, THAT I KEEP HEARING TOO!
LET ME ASK YOU THIS, DID CHRIST NOT SUFFER AND ENDURE TO BRING YOU OUT OF THE CERTAIN DEATH OF SIN?
ARE YOU ABOVE HIM? WHY IS IT THAT YOU HAVE TURNED AWAY GREAT OPPORTUNITIES TO BE RICH IN WHAT GOD WAS GIVING YOU, TO PURSUE YOUR OWN SELFISH DESIRES?
LOOK AT YOUR LIFE, ASK YORSELF THAT! WHY IS IT THAT A GODLY MAN IS NOT SUFFICIENT ENOUGH FOR YOU, AND THE SAME GOES FOR MEN PERTAINING TO THIS SUBJECT, SEE I MYSELF, AM NOT AN EYE-CANDY KIND OF A GUY, I REALLY DON'T CARE WHERE YOU GRADUATED FROM, OR HOW BIG YOUR HOUSE IS! MY HOPE IS FOR MUCH GREATER THINGS, THINGS THAT DO NOT BARE PRICE TAGS!
I ASK YOU A QUESTION, HOW CAN YOU FIGHT SPIRTUAL WARFARE WITH A CARNAL MIND?
YOU CAN'T AS LONG AS YOU LIVE A LIFE FOCUSED ON THE THINGS IN THE WORLD, YOU WILL BE DIVIDED AND MOST OFTEN CONFUSED... WOMEN HATE TO HEAR THAT, BECAUSE THEY WANT TO KNOW THAT A MAN WILL BE ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF THEM, SO THERE LOOKING FOR A MAN WITH ALL THE AMENITIES FIRST, INSTEAD OF LOOKING AT THE INNER MAN.
MY LAST AND FINAL THOUGHT IS THIS! IS, IT NOT GOD WHO IS THE PROVIDER? IF YOU SEEK A MAN WHO IS SINCERE ABOUT LIVING FOR THE LORD, WHAT IS ALL THE WORRYING ABOUT, huh LADIES?

are they just plain nutty...
just because the world is becoming more wicked everyday, that still doesnt give anbody, especially bible thumpin people the right to profile, assume, or even fix their opinon on a particular idea without good reason, or any reason!
i get a little bit tired of women...
especially christian woman, hitting me up with the gay question!
what, because i am attractive, or dress different from a wanna be thug, or i must be gay!
well, what if i just thought you were a lesbian, because your lips, looked liked lesbian lips!
now that's dumb isn't it! yes, i know...
but that would make you wonder why someone assumed you were something just by clearly looking at you!
i am a CHRISTIAN (stating the fact) i am not your anything goes kinda one either! God made adam and eve, and i am totally proud of that fact. and support the tradtional marriage agenda totally. so please if you wanna know something about someone, simply just ask! assuming the wrong thing is not only irritating but can also hurt!
P.S. read my blog on marriage, it's totally not about same sex ones!
