The Reason a "New Year" is not Happy and "Resolutions" are Failures for Most People!

I do not make New Year's resolutions and never have. I do not like them, in fact my abhorrence of resolutions stems from the reality that many people are utterly incapable of keeping them. They simply can't do it! – I mean, when was the last time you heard someone in December bragging about successfully making it to the gym four times a week for the entire year, or how they spent less and saved more, wrote that book, went back to school, or finished school, or devoted more time to family, consistently gave to charity, attended church regularly; or my favorite, dedicated more time to faithfully serving God? Rarely, if ever, because here’s the ugly truth: New Year’s resolutions may begin as the brilliant breakthrough that will take you to new personal heights, but they always mature into a nagging reminder of your failed aspirations.

I know some of you are saying, why is he so hard on New Year's and Resolutions? I will tell you why. I am all for having goals but I think people's New Year zeal blinds them to reality. Consider this, if you are someone who takes the elevator or escalator over the steps at work or the mall, why did you ever think you could suddenly go all Jillian Michaels ab-crunch multiple times a week? If you have not rid your fridge, cabinets and pantry of sweets, carbohydrates, and fatty foods, why do you think sudden you are going to start eating salads and drinking shakes everyday and stick with it all year long? If you only attend church or talk to God on the "big four": New Years, Mother's Day, Easter and Christmas, why would your habits suddenly change to go to service regularly on Saturday or Sunday, especially when your favorite teams are playing? I could go on, but I think you get the point! 

What I am saying is, if there has been no consistency, discipline, or lifestyle developed and practiced prior to the new year working toward your goals (resolutions), then it is real easy to feel defeated on week two, or month two, scuttle the mission and fall back into old habits. Habits are not broken by resolve alone, especially if they are not met with regular action and consistent discipline.

Here is a telling stat: only 8% of resolutions are successfully completed by Americans. Whatever the reason, people are definitely doing resolutions wrong. Maybe it is because people are so zeroed in on that big picture goal they lose sight of the day-to-day requirements and personal accountability it takes to achieve those accomplishments and make improvements in their life. Nothing can be achieved without dedication, determination, persistence, discipline, and consistence! Additionally and firstly, I would add God's help and grace, because without Him I realize I can do nothing consistently long enough on my own! How about you? Could the reason you have failed to keep your resolutions over the years be that you lack the strength you need to do so, but do not want to admit you need God's help?

I believe God strengthens us to accomplish things in our life and when we operate in His timing and season He helps us more so when what we determine to do is beyond our human frailties. God moves in seasons and not years, and I believe that. Also, The Bible teaches us to understand times and seasons, not years, months and days. My family and I observe God's Hebraic clock (calendar), therefore we begin again each September/October as His Holy calendar guides our steps. We've taught our ministry partners to do the same, and I can say over the 20 plus years we have been observing same we have experienced more peace, joy, favor and accomplishments in doing so. We have been able to honor our vows and commitments we made to The Lord, and He has strengthened us to perform our obligations concerning people. 

I believe too many people are focused on the days, weeks, months, and years (moments in time); therefore, if they fail a task or fall short of a promise in that moment the thought of failure keeps them from continuing. In so doing, they miss the greater opportunities for their life, the season God has for them, which allows them to repent and start again. That is why Christ came, to help us start again! God knew we could not keep our commitments on our own, so He sent help...His Son! Who was obedient in all things and would help us to the same if we trust Him and not depend on ourselves. 

I have several big goals for this season of my life (5775/5776), especially ministry and life goals (can not wait to share many of them with you!), but in light of my past struggles and some failures, I think my biggest goals are not necessarily my most important goals. The big stuff will not happen if we are not tuned into the small stuff, and the small stuff is where we can achieve tangible gains and build the momentum towards the bigger goals. When we focus on the seasons in our life instead of moments in time we can experience a setback and not feel so defeated! We learn we are not limited to the time we have determined for ourselves to accomplish something, but more focused on the strength God gives us to achieve what He has ordained for us over the long run. We learn life is not a sprint but a marathon! One we must be trained and conditioned for, which all require discipline and consistency. Two things may people know they need but lack much of in their life.

So what is the ‘big’ stuff? For me it is to seek first The Kingdom of God and His righteousness each day and reach my fellow man with His love! He promised if we do so that He will provide everything else we need. It might not always be what we want, but it will be what we need. But the small stuff, which is actually larger than you would image, such as discipline, consistency, and focus are daily activities necessary to accomplish the "big stuff"! Yet, if we do not do them regularly and with some determination we will not go on to accomplish much of anything. 

Like you, I sometimes have a hectic life, balancing all the tasks I have going on right now. If we are not careful we can tend to worry about tomorrow and the day after and the day after that, but today has enough troubles of its own that need to be dealt with. Ignore them and before long the days begin to blend together into one easily forgettable pile of mush, causing exhaustion and frustration; leading to an abandonment of the lofty resolutions, promises or goals we set. So, I will continue to set long term goals but my real focus will be on the only thing I can change – the here and now...TODAY! I am going to engage in the often dirty and messy, but rewarding daily grind of life, with my family, my work, my friends, and total strangers. Some days we will see great success, others, in our eyes, miserable failure, but at least we will be in the game; the game of life! And with God's help we will overcome every obstacle and achieve what He has for us in the seasons of our life!

I encourage you today to lay aside resolutions and begin recognizing the seasons of your life. Recognize when opportunities present themselves for you to do more than you have previous and maximize that time. Observe the entry's and exits of people in your life and appreciate the time they were there. Enjoy the moments in life that take your breath away and capture their essence as part of an incredible experience you may not have again. Endeavor to be present when engaged in conversation and learn to live in the moment without thought of the future. Determine to spending each day with people you love as though it may be your last. Take no thought for tomorrow, for it is not promised, so seize the moment you have been given to live, love, and laugh. But do not life your life vicariously as though there is no tomorrow, but wisely, understanding there is a Heaven to gain and a Hell to shun! Always 👏 Give thanks! 🙏 Pray continually! 😎 And enjoy life fully! For these are gifts of God and given to us as man to enjoy. If you must resolve to do anything, then let it be to live for God, through His Son in all you say and do! To love Him above all others and your fellow man as yourself.

I pray you find rest, joy, and peace which can only be found in Yahshua the Christ, Amen!

Shalom,

Apostle B

2014-10-28 Prophetic Word by Apostle B

Today The Lord says, "Arise, shine for thy light has come and my glory has risen upon thee! Today I give you victory over the enemy and no weapon he creates shall prosper against thee! Do not fear the terror by day nor the arrow that flies by night, I have given my angles charge over thee and they shall keep you in safety! No Ebola, no financial crises, no elected official, no system of this world will harm thee, for the blood of my Son, Yeshua covers thee and He has already given you the victory! So today my children walk in the light and be the light in this dark world for I will use you to bring salvation to this generation and you will see the glory of The Lord bring victory! I say victory, victory, victory! Declare it now! You have the victory, so walk it, talk it, and live like it!"

"Too many of you have become distracted by the things of this world; what you will eat, drink, wear, live or have, I came to give you life and life abundantly and I know what things you have need of so do not worry about those things! I will take care of you and provide for you, says The Lord! Put my kingdom first in all things and focus on things eternal, and not temporal. Many souls are being weighed in the balance by the enemy but I've given you the power through The Holy Spirit to reach the lost and set them free! It is time to cast out devils, speak in new tongues, drink new wine, and walk in the Spirit. Today, if you would be obedient to go and reach my lost sheep you will see how ripe the harvest really is. 

Get out of yourself and move into me! Let my Spirit arise in thee to move every hard place and see the victory before thee. Nothing is too hard for me! I AM the same yesterday, today and forever and my power is here to shake even the very gates of hell! They will not prevail! Use my power to bring victory, healing, and deliverance to those around you, but my power must begin to be alive in you! You need a new dose of The Holy Ghost! Drink from the fountain again! Fill up again! There is plenty new wine for the thirsty. Pour put the old wine of religion and tradition, yes you have become stake in religion, ritual, and ridicule! Purge out the leaven, yes you have become filled with pride, envy and jealousy! You can do nothing without me. It is MY Spirit! MY Power! MY Anointing! My Work! Whatever I do through you it is ME and not you! Take my yoke upon you and began again to learn of me or I will humble thee."

"You have forgotten who I AM and what I AM able to do! I have all power and nothing can stand before me! Pray and ask me and I will show you great and might things. Some things I will move and others will remain until I come, but moving in and obeying me will let your heart be at peace to accept what I AM doing in this hour. Let not your heart be troubled, I see and know all things and what seems like death and destruction moving against you will flee before ME! Believe and do not doubt. Remove all doubt, fear, worry and anxiety from your heart and completely trust in Me and I WILL lead you to victory!" Amen!

Advancing The Kingdom: the antiChrist System

On July 19, 2014 @TiaDeShay tweeted profound nuggets of truth during my teaching "Advancing The Kingdom Part 2: the anti-Christ System" from 1 John 2:18-19.

The spirit of the anti Christ has already come. The spirit of the anti Christ system already exist. The spirit of the anti-Christ is at work in the Church. Many have denied the Truth, Power, and Spirit of Christ!

The spirit is also evident in the church as Sunday is the most separated day of the week for those who call themselves of the Body of Christ.

Deception is so great among believers because much of the so-called church is practicing religion and not relationship!

The spirit/work of the anti Christ is active when a believer's love for the things of the world is greater than his love for God.

They have been deceived by the anti Christ spirit.

Leaders who were never with us but came among us to deceive us are doing the work of the anti-Christ!

The spirit of the anti Christ causes division in the Body of Christ. 1 John 2:18-19 shows that the spirit of the anti Christ came from within the body of Christ. It came among us not to stay, but to deceive us. The birth of the spirit of the anti Christ is internal not external.

If you're following a leader, a part of a ministry or in a church who says Christ is NOT the only way, he's a liar and you're deceived!

We must have the indwelling, infilling, and empowering of the Holy Spirit to recognize the deception of the anti Christ.

The spirit of the anti Christ is strong because it is a spirit of deception. 

You can be deceived into thinking you are doing the will of God, but deny His power!

Right (truth) relationship with Christ,  walking in right (truth), and standing (truth) with Christ safeguards us against the deception of the anti Christ!

Don't lose your identity and fall for the deception of the anti Christ and start believing you are self made.

God will only reward us for what we have done in and for His name and for the advancing of His Kingdom.

Looks like my students learned a great deal today! :-) PTL

Is your relationship with God mechanical, obligatory or one of pleasure and privilege that demonstrates your anchored and walking in truth?

Prophetess @TheMonaLisaSmil said "@TiaDeShay you blew it up with the profound nuggets from Apostle's teaching today!  Wake up church!"

Amen!

ShatterTheSilence On Relationships with @NicoleMSherrod

On Monday, July 14, 2014 @DrBAIngram was a guest on #ShatterTheSilence On Relationships w/@NicoleMSherrod along with @DavidABurrus and @jajcounseling. Each speaker give their insight concerning the topic and I decided to blog about a few nuggets of truth I shared during the call. Below is the twitter dialogue between Nicole and me. I pray the thoughts bless you as much as they did us all.

The two questions we were asked to address were:

1. After hearing segment 1, what's your initial reaction to the relationship concerns that were raised?
2. What would you add, to build upon segment 1 from your personal experience and professional experience as a Pastor, Licensed Councilor, and/or Certified Life Coach?

@NicoleMSherrod: "Too many people in Relationships, ONLY have a sexual Relationship!" 

The bed (sex) has become the basis of many relationships so when people get up on their two feet they can't walk together in agreement. They've spent too much time in an unbalanced position and agree on very little outside the bedroom.

@NicoleMSherrod: "People are going from relationship to relationship and not learning from their mistakes so they're connecting with the wrong people in marriage..." 

People bring a broken part of every relationship with them into the next trying to make it work where it doesn't belong! We're not to bring baggage into a relationship if we're going to add life.

@NicoleMSherrod: "Sex has become the FOCUS of many relationships...You can't use sex to get to know people!"

Sex opens the door to the spiritual realm and when it's not ordained in a holy union it allows in the spirit of perversion. People are using sex to replace love, affection, and communication. What's supposed to be a pleasurable experience to heightened the relationship often becomes the only living part of a relationship that for most purposes in dead in many other areas. 

@NicoleMSherrod: "People are repeating the same RELATIONSHIP mistakes Because they haven't learned from past RELATIONSHIP mistakes!" 

We are not designed to go from person to person leaving a trail of broken hearts. Broken hearts and damaged lives leave a trail of destruction and creates unnecessary work when the right person comes along. Someone always has to deal with the wreckage!

@NicoleMSherrod: "People are repeating the same mistakes because they haven't healed from past disappointments and pain" 

Pain becomes an anchor that weighs down the spirit and depresses the human condition allowing people to disguise their true identity by mask the pain. Yet, it's only for a season and will always manifest.

@NicoleMSherrod: "Men can only give completely, unconditionally, and unselfishly to a woman if He is Healed and Whole!"

A man cannot give what he doesn't have, hasn't received or recovered from. He can only fruitfully nourish a woman from a healed place.

@NicoleMSherrod: "A man without a Relationship w/God is just a man trying to find himself!"

A man finds his place and purpose when he walks with His Creator. He can then help a woman settle in her role, which is by his side. And together they become the fulfillment and representation of Gods unconditional love for his people (church).

@NicoleMSherrod: "Many young people don't want to submit to wise Counsel as it relates to relationships!"

Unfortunately, young people today think they already knew everything and would rather learn what they don't know through experience, rather then hear and adhere sound wisdom. My experience is that it only takes one bad experience to kill you!

@NicoleMSherrod: ...YES, one can either learn relationally via the wisdom and experience of others or experientially, which can be detrimental!

@NicoleMSherrod: "Many young people don't listen to their Parents and Elders when warned about a Relationship that's not the right one"

We ALL have had to live through bad choices when we didn't listen to the wisdom of those who have gone before us. They had the experience and learned the lessons so we could gain the benefit of their wisdom. They already know what we're trying to figure out.

@NicoleMSherrod: "It's imperative for men to deal with their issues and brokenness before stepping into a relationship."

Hurt men, and that's all of us at some point, will continue to hurt others until we are healed. Sometimes a man will cry out for help through his pain and by his demonstration. However, there's no excuse for causing abuse. You must Get Help! 

@NicoleMSherrod: "Men canNOT "DO" or "BE" what's needed in a relationship if they are still hurting from childhood wounds and scars!"

He's still that wounded boy inside and until he's healed he'll continue to revert to the place of his pain. A woman will wind up mothering him instead of being a wife to him!

@NicoleMSherrod: "We need to adhere to Sound Wisdom and Counsel. However, Everyone is NOT gifted in Counseling!

Men need counseling, as well as women to overcome issues in life and should not be ashamed to ask for help. Asking for help is a sign of maturity. A man that can ask for and receive counsel is a man well on his way to understanding himself and embracing his healing.

@NicoleMSherrod: ... Yes! @DrBAIngram definitely Shattered the Silence and set the bar! Can't wait for segment three.

(Some quotes were edited for clarity)

Why Fight!

Why we’re in a fight and why we should fight? Wow! As I was driving down the road I had a revelation while listening to a song I heard that made me want to tweet and blog encouragement for someone that is in a Fight today! (Use the hashtag #Fight on twitter to read the thread)

The songwriter said, "The size of the fight is based on the prize to be won." Those are words from the song "Fighting for Me" by Anthony Evans, the son of Dr. Tony Evans, from his album "Home". The words of the song quickened my spirit because I had recently heard from a dear saint that I had not communicated with in a very long time. She explained: "she didn't know why she was in such a fight and why the struggle was so hard. When it was not supposed to be."

Thus, these words are to encourage her, as well as you (us), if you find yourself in a Fight Today and just can't seem to explain what and why you're going through.

First my friend, we must understand our life is worth fighting for. But this fight is for us and not against us. In this fight, Jesus is fighting our battle, but we are experiencing the blows He's taken for us. We are feeling the aftershocks of every blow Christ has taken for us in the fight for our life. The life He purchased for us that is precious enough for Him to protect. The devil will not win! Although, at times we feel otherwise.

Second, we must realize and know we have the victory! It does not matter how difficult the fight, we will experience what Jesus did in order to see what He has gone through to keep us for Himself. If Christ can be touched by what we feel (our affirmatives), we are also connected to what He experienced (Hebrews 4:15; Philippians 3:10). 

Lastly, you must continually remember we are one with Christ, we are in him and He is in us (John 15:4), we are heirs and joint-heirs together (Romans 8:16-17); therefore, do not be surprised when we (you) suffer, struggle or face trials and temptations just as He (James 1-3).

Saints of God, how can we testify that God will bring us through and out 

something, if we've never experienced what it's like to be in a fight and win! It is time our faith sustained our testimony. If it does not work for us, how can we tell and convince others it will work for them?

It is time to STOP murmuring and complaining (spectating) about how difficult it is and be grateful and thankful (cheer on) the ONE who's fighting for us (you)! Our praise strengthens and reaffirms what HE has overcome and secured on our behalf. 

God sent Christ to fight and defeat your bully...the devil! Right now, you may be feeling the bullies' blows during the fight (his huffing, puffing and threats) because your mind is focused on the wrong thing...the process and not the outcome! Think of the size of the prize in comparison to the fight you're in! For, at this very moment the fight may be a big, rough and tough battle, but the outcome is a glorious, one-of-a-kind prize!

When you praise, instead of spectate, the  fight will be over in a matter of moments! During praise we move from the victims table to the victors circle! Hallelujah! If you can believe it! It won't take The Lord long to do what He's already done for you! It is so, so act like you know it! 

Be encouraged today my friend! Decree and declare right now with me, "my fight is already won and I am cheering on my CHAMPION! I declare right now, I am victorious! I am coming out of this fight better, faster and smarter then when I went in! My CHAMPION has already won and I am receiving the prize!"

In Jesus mighty name, Amen!

Shalom!

It's the Season to #GetAndGoSupernatural!

If you've waited until 2014 to #GetAndGoSupernatural then you're already behind schedule! Now you're play catchup...I'm not waiting! We're #InFlow with the Holy Ghost! He's moving!

Just a word of warning to those playing catchup, when the prophets begin to prophecy, believe we didn't just get this... We went supernatural long before 2014 began. What we begin to say now has already begun because our Holy Ghost flow began during our processing to #GetAndGoSupernatural long before you knew who we were!

The time we spent with The Father being made for our end time purpose prepared us to #GetAndGoSupernatural so we could help you in this season. We won't hold our tongues because the Holy Spirit gave us the boldness to declare the year of release as we #GetAndGoSupernatural to break chains and strongholds of the enemy!

It's gonna take a baptism of fire and water for many people in this season to #GetAndGoSupernatural because the carnal mind and corrupt flesh will no longer do! This will not be a season of understanding with the natural mind, human intellect or emotional preaching but a time to #GetAndGoSupernatural!

Fleshly believers, carnal preachers and whore mongering saints will not have the power to #GetAndGoSupernatural because it's a work of the Spirit and not of the flesh!  If you don't #GetAndGoSupernatural you won't see, let alone walk, into the promises you've been naming and claiming! It's more than a confession! It's a profession in order to take possession! It's a walk in the #supernatural with #EmployedFaith, a #WillingHeart and an #ObedientSpirit!

Many think 2014 is gonna be their year. You better #GetAndGoSupernatural because it's the year all Hell is gonna break loose! You're going to need more than an anecdote to keep you anchored in the Rock, called Christ! Things are going to come to pull on your relationship with Christ! That's why it's time to #GetAndGoSupernatural! You're going to need the help of The Lord to make it through this next season!

Don't trust the arm of flesh because people will fail you, many will fall away, and err from the truth! So, keep your eyes on Christ. Hold on to your faith! Walk daily in the spirit! And be empowered by The Lord and the Spirit of his might!

I wanna wish all my followers the best in this 2014 season. Thank you for following and most of all stay anchored in God through Christ!

Be blessed. 

Shalom!

Waiting!

A Word on Waiting! No one likes to wait, least of All me. Not in line, at banks, restaurants, post offices, for service; stuck in rush hour traffic, or put on hold by a computer. 

"Waiting time" seems to be a waste of time." This is why "waiting" on God is often difficult for many believers. It also is why many quote the saying, which is not Biblical: "God helps those who help themselves." Besides not being scriptural, it is not wise counseling on waiting, but the statement actually speaks to a lack of Faith and Patience. 

I am not stating God does not want you and me to accomplish some things. HE does at times, in fact, more so as our faith demands than other times. When it is "waiting time" and we proceed to help ourselves, we are stating that God needs us to take charge to get the things done. Newsflash…He does not! But one thing is for sure: "We need to trust God, be willing to do His will, and in His timing and not our own." 

This may be difficult because most often, than not, it means "waiting"- something we do not like to do. Hebrews 10:36 says, "For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise" (KJVA). Alas, what we really need is patience, which requires faith (the hope, trust and confidence) to wait!

Note: "The right action, at the right time, equals the right result." That's what patience produces. "Waiting" on God seems tough. "I ain't gonna lie"; it is and I've had my share of impatience and anxiousness! But God's timing is always best for us as I have experienced, and "so well worth the wait!" 

Hence, "waiting time" should not be a waste of time – "Waiting Time"is indeed "Worth the Time!"- Therefore my friend, "Rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him" (Psalm 37:7). 

Selah!

It's Time to Move!

It's time to wake up and realize you've outgrown where you are!  Everything around you is shifting and changing and so are you!  The time you spent where you were yesterday has passed.  There's a new address with your name on it!  People and circumstances thought they could find you still living in your past.  The change of address went out with a notice saying, "It’s Time To Move!"  Tell your situation or circumstance, this is no longer my address and you are no longer welcome here!  God has readied my new place and you can't come!

You know it's time to move because when you're facing trouble, returning to that old place there is an uneasiness that tells you you've moved on, It’s Time To Move!   When the keys that use to work to unlock your hopes and dreams no longer work where you are, It’s Time To Move!  The keys you now have are bigger than the place you now reside, It’s Time To Move to where they are designed to fit and work!

When you no longer fit where you are and you're tired of rearranging things to accommodate, such a small space, It’s Time To Move!  You were never designed to fit into a space, but a space was designed large enough for you to grow into!  God never designed you to settle in a place that's too small for you or your vision; It’s Time To Move where He has made space that's more than enough to grow!  It’s Time To Move from places where you're just being tolerated and into wealthy places where you're celebrated and activated!

No doubt, if the people you're surrounded by no longer or neither see what you see, nor are they going in the direction you're headed It’s Time To Move!  If you're in a place where there are more bad memories behind you than future dreams ahead of you, It's Time To Move!  If people are still referring to you in the past tense and reminding you of your history and not your possibilities, It’s Time To Move!

 

Are you ready for your enlargement?  If so, It’s Time To Move!

 

Shalom,

 

Apostle B.

Dear Dr. King,

First, Happy Birthday and I wish you were here. We truly miss you!  I must begin by apologizing today because I'm sorry your legacy is being made a mockery. You stood for many things, but most importantly, you stood for what's right and was jailed for your beliefs.  But we have a leader today in President Barack Obama who does neither, he's not willing to face his accusers nor take responsibility for his actions even if it means removal from office.  Yet people are comparing him to you!  He even took an oath on your Bible as though swearing on the Bible means he believes in or will adhere to the Words contained therein!  Dr. King I'm sorry to tell you this but Mr. Obama is a Hypocrite!  How can he be like you?

Dear Dr. King, too many black folk, even those you marched with, spoke to, and inspired are caught up in the pomp and  circumstance, fun, and good times Obama offers and are forgetting the bigger picture!  You didn't march and die for us so we could have a good time, but so that we would make the times good.  The problem with black America today is that they're having too much fun and doing little or no work, let alone marching for right causes.  The liberal (propaganda) news media said during the inauguration that Obama and Biden swore on the Bible to defend and support the United States Constitution...when??  They haven't thus far!!  In fact, they've done more in violation of the constitution then defend it!

 

Dear Dr. King, forgive Barack for using the Word of Yahweh (God) you and I believe in to further his agenda and not use the Word of The Lord to be a bridge to the truth as you did!  He says this Word is hate speech and promotes hatred because it stands for righteousness and holds men accountable for their actions.  Including the passages that condemn crimes against man and man, woman and woman, but honoring the sanctity of marriage.

 

Dear Dr. King,  so many have turned their backs on what you taught and believed and support Obama in his wrongdoing.  The killing of the innocent (babies) is allowed through government funded Planned Parenthood, marriage has been destroyed between man and women and same sex marriage legalized in several states, it's now legal to smoke marijuana in several states, an Ambassador and his aids were killed (racial indifference) with no penalties (hatred against white colleagues), our military is neglected, undervalued, and under appreciated, the race card is used as a fear tactic, and black leaders support an agenda that's discriminatory.  May those who walked with you that now support Obama see that you would do things differently.  I'm angered when they compare him to you.  I know I should not be because you would not be, but...

Dear Dr. King, so many suppose that you would be pleased with what you see, but forgive them for even comparing themselves with you and what you were called to do.  I believe if you were here you would meet with President Obama as you did with Malcolm X to create a better plan to help people today.  One that would use what our Lord said would bring freedom to all people and that is the truth!  The truth of God's (Yahweh) Word!  Some don't believe you used the Bible to promote your message, but they are wrong.  Your message came from the Bible, including your "I Have a Dream" speech and "The Letter from a Birmingham Jail".  As the Apostle Paul, you had a great command of the English language and an anointing to let your message ring loud and clear without offending the ear, but remain challenging to the heart.  Yet, when Obama speaks there is little to no truth in him because he does opposite what he says.  I'm not convicted, but offended.  He speaks to us as though we are ignorant and cannot see through his lies and deceit!

Dear Dr. King, on today as we celebrate your birthday we thank you for your sacrifice.  Happy birthday!  I know this is not a typical birthday letter, but I had to tell you how I feel today because more than anything I wish your legacy becomes the dream you meant it to be as we wake from the nightmare that is!

 

Some of us were wondering if you would have been allowed to give the benediction at the inauguration this year because of your Christian beliefs.  We are not skeptics because we trust Father God, but are doubtful that you would have and may never know.  A few friends of mine (@motherknowsbest and @starparker) sent me this article supporting why we believe that to be true.  Here is the link when you have time to read: http://t.co/adTPZjaD

 

Dear Dr. King, we will continue to remember and honor your sacrifice.  Thank you for reading :-)

 

Shalom!!

Obama: failures of a "Saul Spirit "

While so many are comparing Barack Hussein Obama II to Dr. Martin King, Jr. I want to compare him to a failed king in history: King Saul...failures of a "Saul Spirit"!  Obama is a modern day Saul and he is not Yahweh's (God’s) choice but is the will of the people.  He has a Saul Spirit.

 

Years ago people wished for a king and would not wait on Yahweh's (God’s) choice.  They wanted Saul; but Yahweh (God) desired them to wait on David.  So then, in their (the people)continued asking, pleading and begging, Yahweh (God) gave them over to have what they wished for a man they though would deliver them, a Saul Spirit.

 

Saul was no doubt, the people's choice not Yahweh's (God’s) selection… "Be careful what you wish for because you might get it”!  After the hype and luster of the inauguration wears off and during Obama’s 2nd term, far too many people will regret the day they elected him. (YHIHF - you heard it here first)

 

We cannot side with man over Yahweh (God) and His law and then expect Him to honor our decision after rejecting His council and wisdom!  In this Saul Spirit case, it will be too late to regret what you wished for!  Obama's America has begun and the worst is yet to come!

 

After ignoring the warnings of the Prophet Samuel of the new king’s character, the people still wanted Saul.  And liken unto the Prophet Samuel, many (me included) have tried to warn against the reign of Obama, but the people would not hear!

Israel wanted Saul as king because he was handsome, spoke well and looked the part!  People wanted Obama for similar (same) reasons: he speaks well, looks the part, and is the first of his kind (a black president).  The thing about Saul is that, his arrogance caused him to deny the wisdom of history, his mentor and the law of Yahweh (God).

 

In comparison to Saul, Obama has ignored the wisdom of his elders and sided with villains to have his way of doing things!  That's a Saul Spirit.  He's disregarded history of dictatorial leaders who enslaved the people and forgot about revolutions that would occur as a result of limiting freedoms of the people.  That's a Saul Spirit!   Wherefore, as Saul began to do things that were against Yahweh's (God’s) law, violated the council of spiritual leaders, and brought harm to the people, the nation’s modern day Saul (Obama) is ruling by the will of the people not by the will of Yahweh (God)! That's a Saul Spirit.

 

Yahweh (God) told Samuel not to be saddened because the people had rejected HIM as King over them and chose a man after their desires.  Many Americans have also rejected Yahweh (God) and chose a man to deliver them, but he cannot!  All his plans are futile!  His plans are from the dark side and under toned by the NWO (new world order), the Illuminati, the Masons, and the Muslim agendas.

 

Do not be deceived!  Yahweh (God) allows what you allow (Matthew 18:18).  He gave you the power to change and to choose.  You chose poorly when you chose Obama and as a result your choice has dire consequences...loss of freedom, rights, income, and etc.  Bear in mind, just because Yahweh (God) allows the people's choice to rule doesn't mean He is pleased with the selection!  Yahweh allowed Saul to rule but he was not HIS selection but man's choice.

The people have rejected The Lord and chose man (Saul) [Obama] to reign over them (1 Samuel 8:7), the Saul Spirit. Before allowing their way in selecting Saul, The Lord warned the people about him and what he would do as the new king.  The Lord said, Saul will rob from the people for himself and for his council (1 Samuel 8:11-17)... the Saul Spirit.  And, soon the people would beg for relief (1 Samuel 8:18), but The Lord will not hear their cry.  And the people would continue to refuse to listen to the voice of The Lord or HIS Prophets (1 Samuel 8:19).  And although Saul was not Yahweh's (God’s) choice the people didn't care.  They wanted him as their king anyway!

 

Saul, in his arrogance, begin to perform duties reserved for the council [the prophet] (in America's case the Congress) and the priest [the givers and keepers of the law] (in America's case the Constitution).  CASE: Obama has violated the Congress and Constitution by his many Executive Orders so he does not have to work with Congress and he has amendments the Constitution to further his powers to do his will. 

 

When it was time for Saul to do Yahweh's (God’s) bidding and annihilate evil from the land and slay the ruling principalities, he did not!  When Obama had opportunity to rid the land of evil [the modern kings in the land] (abortion, same sex marriage, corruption in big business) and restore righteousness to the land, he did not!  Instead, in disobedience and arrogance, he allows evil to live just as Saul did with keeping Ahab alive and reserving the best of the spoils for himself as his reward for a fight he did not (has not) win, but will worsen over time.

 

When Saul made mistakes and disobeyed the Lord he didn't take responsibility for his actions, but blamed circumstanced and others.   Similarly, Obama has taken no responsibility for any wrong that has occurred during his presidency, but shifted blame!  That's a Saul Spirit!  Had the mistakes and atrocities Obama gotten away with been performed by a white president the streets would be full of black folk calling for impeachment.  And just as Saul's crimes were worthy of his dethronement, so too the crimes of Obama make him a candidate for impeachment!  Yet, both sides are either playing up the race card or too afraid the race card would be pulled. 

 

Saul's greatest sin was forgetting his humble beginnings and forgetting the Sovereign Lord who raised him up and put him on the throne!  Especially when you consider he was the least likely candidate for office.  Obama's greatest sin is that he's forgotten he's the chief servant of the people and not the dictator he's become to the American people. 

 

Saul didn't have a sure relationship with the God of Israel.   In fact, when  he was confronted with his violations, he referred to Yahweh (God) as "Samuel's God" (1 Samuel 15:39)!  A few times Obama has confessed he's a believer, but of what is uncertain.  For someone who confesses to believe, he's had Ramadan at The White House every year in office, supported Muslim causes, promoted the homosexual agenda, turned his back on Israel, and persecuted the Body of Christ (church)!  Doesn't sound like a believer in Yahshua to me?  But more like an antichrist spirit.  The Saul Spirit!

Regularily, many have partied with Obama, but soon they will be regretting the decision to make him president.  Once Obama's police state (he's creating) begins, many will become enemies of the state and hailed as criminals.  Obama's police state is the reason he's disarming the American people so they are unable to resist or revolt.  Are you on the list?  The list he will use to round us up as enemies of his agenda, just as Saul did for those who supported David.

 

In selecting Obama as president (even again) the people will have the fruit of their choices and the consequences of their decisions!  I pray the Father have mercy, but judgement will be the result.

Someone asked: "But this time do we get a David, or is it too late?"  I wish I knew!  I've been asking Yahweh (God) for time (grace).  I believe we had the opportunity for grace (time) with Mitt Romney as a means for the people of Yahweh to get it right, but we missed it, so Father Yahweh only knows what 2016 has for us and until then we have to conted with the Saul Spirit!

 

I will post more as Father Yahweh reveals more to me and the prophets concerning the Saul Spirit, but I have faith that Father will give us grace (time to repent) and wisdom (ability to apply His knowledge) on how to live in the days ahead!

 

Be Encouraged,

 

Shalom!!

It's New Year's Eve, so What's with Watch Night Service?

I've never understood why church folk put so many stakes in a watch night service.  Aren't we supposed to watch and pray regularly and Not just once a year!  If you're going to have a service called watch night, then make it about the praying and watching as Yashua commanded, otherwise, All you're doing is having another old church service full of 'pagan' tradition, with no power!  I’ll watch you miss heaven with your heathen selves, if you keep that up!  Instead of a watch night service you need to host an old school through-back party and give people some of their money back you stole, All year long!  Pay some bills, pay off some debts, have some healing and deliverance, or put some groceries on the table!  Then watch and see what Father Yahweh does!

Leader's instead of asking people to come watch with you, when was the last time you watched that single mom's son?  When was the last time you went to watch that young boys or girls game in your ministry that don't have a dad?  When was the last time you sat and watched a movie with your own family?  Nah, that because you're too busy with church business you're not watching your own business!  Watch night! Who are you watching out for except yourself?  You have so much while others in your ministry still struggling!  Watch night!  Going to be some store brought message about how you need to clean up your life, serve God and start anew!  Been there!  Done that!  Heard that!  When are you going to tell us what the Father is saying for the earth?  Like watch out for them leaders who keep getting theirs while you keep missing yours.

Someone asked me, what do you mean, watch night?  That's what I'm saying!  When people no longer recognize what you're doing, you're doing nothing!

Why don't churches just call watch night what it really is...a year end party!  You celebrate like the world, so you're imitating the system of the world!  You're not demonstrating the Kingdom!  The system of the world only produces the world’s results! Watch night is not founded in Kingdom principle, but religious ritual!  When was the last recorded miracle in a watch night service?  Who got truly healed?  Were demons cast out?  We're people set free from bondage?  The Kingdom manifests results that reflect its King! Who’s getting glory in a watch night service?  People come in and go out the same!

If you're a Prophet, I dare you to stand up in a watch night service and begin prophesying and change the flow of the message!  They will put you out!  Forcibly!  Christ said men would put you out of their houses for telling The Truth!  Watch what I say!  Are you scared to be put out so you have shut up?  If you're a prophet or called to prophetic ministry, then People in position don't have the power to silence you!  Watch what I say, Christ holds you accountable.  Watch what I tell you, to many prophets have closed their mouths because they don't understand the office, function or ministry of the Prophet!  Prophets are the watchmen to keep the evil out of God's house and warn when heading to error, so why is there so much evil and error in these so-called houses of God?   How can there be watch night without watchmen?  Watchmen were the ones responsible for watching during the night watches!  To see, warn and sound the alarm!  When are the Prophets going to warn the CHURCH (Body of Christ) that you're in ERROR!!!

If we're going to have a watch night, then it should be every night because the enemy don't sleep so nor does the prophets!  Watch night should be full of prophets prophesying, prophetic ministry proceeding, and proclamations being decreed!  That's Kingdom!

Watch night should be spent bombarding the kingdom of darkness with the prevailing prayers of the saints as the prophets proclaim!  That's Kingdom! 

 

Watch night should be about proclaiming the Kingdom of our Lord has come and signs of liberation seen in the lives of the people. That's Kingdom!

When was the last time during a watch night service you've heard the prophets prophesy by course? That's Kingdom!   Do you even know what it's like to have the prophets prophesy by course?  Or is watch night spent listening to the pastor ramble?  Can the prophets even be released in YOUR CHURCH to prophesy by course during a watch night service?  Or are they on lock down?  If you're a prophet or flowing in prophetic ministry from the wellspring of LIFE and LIVING WATER, then a typical watch night service ought to grieve you!  It ought to make you travail!

If I visited your church on watch night, called out your prophets, lined them up by order and told them to prophesy what they hear, see, and know...How would you react?  Would you allow it?  Would it frighten you?  Or could the will of The Lord be done this watch night?  That's Kingdom!

 

So have fun this watch night, because I'm coming to a city near you lying prophets because my company of prophets are prepared and can prophesy by course!

Adding, Twerps (Tweeters) I know I had signed off, but I'm getting Direct Messages and text from some innocent saints who want to know what watch night is All about.  Here goes:

In 1862, watch night was a tradition where many black churches in the South held services awaiting word whether President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation was ratified.  Yet, over the years, watch night has become a tradition many churches use to say they are praying and watching for Jesus return!  When in fact many religious services no longer have prayer and it they do, it only a few minutes before midnight.  However, depending on the denomination or church doctrine, watch night can be anything from a celebration to a full church service!  Yet, watch night is No more impactful than the 1st night it was held because many do not know why they gather or for what purpose they gather other than a year-end service!  Traditionally, in Lutheran and Methodist churches, watch night is a celebration of ending the old year and bringing in the New Year in worship. 

 

Now, the bad news... Prior to the watch night of 1862, slave masters would steal slaves away and sell them off and families would wake to find their loved ones had been sold off to another plantation owner.  So this was not a happy time nor one of rejoicing.

In its inception, watch night had nothing to do with waiting and praying to The Lord, until Richard Allen, Founder of the AME Church re-instituted it as a religious celebration among black domination's!

So, that's watch night in a nutshell! I hope some of you were enlightened and empowered through increased knowledge! So go apply it! Good night.

 

God Bless!  Shalom!

Understanding Assignment...is my Mentor Failing Me?

There are many people today who are not doing what they were created to do by Father Yahweh (God).  Therefore, the world is in choas, the people of the earth are suffering, the #Kingdon of God is not manifesting, and the greatest travesty is that the people of Yahweh, who were sent to the earth as His ambassadors, are in disobedience to His will.  However, the Father has assigned the Body of Christ and the people of God asension gift ministers (mentors) according to Ephesians 4:7-14 so that they could be perfected (matured) through impartation, empowerment, activation, and releasing for the work of His ministry (service) in the earth.

Yet, church and religion has taken the place of discipleship (preparing people to follow Christ in fulfilling their #assignment), so there is very little true mentorship taking place within the Body of Christ.  As a result there are too many people sitting in church when they should be working for the #kingdom.  As an Ambassador of the #Kingdom I want to speak to mentors (teacher) and mentees (student) alike and encourage them both to begin moving in obedience toward one another in fulfillment of their God-given #assignments.  Further, I want to encourage every mentor to begin developing those Father has called you to with the passion and commitment their purpose requires, and to every mentee I admonish you to position yourself so that your mentor finds you faithful.

Leaders mentor people based on their #assignment not their gifting.  For gifting development is the job of the Holy Spirit.  Character development and accountability is the #assignment of a mentor.  Mentors are not to be the Holy Spirit for you.  You know when you have the right mentor because they remind you of where you're going (#assignment) not where you've been!  Base your #assignment to people on their assignment to God, then to you. Otherwise, you might miss why you were assigned to one another.  We are #assigned to people based on where they're going in God and therefore what's needed is wisdom on how to best mentor them.

 

Your #assignment was given to you by God and not man! Yet, your man of God (mentor) keeps you headed toward what God has given you to do.  Too many people don't know their #assignment so they are following the wrong people and are in the wrong places!  When you know your #assignment you won't stay in places where you're tolerated, but seek to get to the place where you're activated!  Once you know you're #assignment you'll let nothing and noone keep you from moving forward.  Your #assignment becomes your focus & your focus become your passion.

 

What you're passionate about you pursue! Your #assignment becomes your pursuit when your passion is no longer drained pursuing the need in your life!  You're #assignment only differs from your passion when they're not aligned! When your #assignment and your passion are aligned you begin to do what you were created to do.  When you're doing what you were created to do (#assignment) your provision manifests. Until then you have wants not needs!  Pursuing wants takes you away from pursuing your #assignment. A want is the result of unfulfilled purpose.

 

Christ promised to meet our needs as we pursued the #kingdom. Therefore, your #assignment requires your needs be met, not your wants.  When a need manifests in your life it is intended to activate faith in your walk as you pursue your #assignment.  When you're pursuing your #assignment and a need manifests it's intended to demonstrate the providence of God so He may be glorified.

 

In amazement to His disciples Christ's provision manifested as He moved in His #assignment: the coin in the mouth of the fish (Matthew 17:27), the colt (Matthew 21:1-3), and the upper room for the Passover (Mark 14:14-16), to name a few.  So you don't have an unmet need as you move in your #assignment, you need #EmployedFaith to see the need as already done!  Provision without an #assignment leads to wasteful spending because you don't understand the true purpose or value of money!  An #assignment without provision keeps you pursuing purpose because #EmployedFaith tells you what you need will be there when you have need of it.  Therefore you don't wait until you have the provision before you obey! You obey because you have #EmployedFaith in the God of your #assignment!

Obedience during your #assignment makes the difference between you accomplishing or failing to fulfill your purpose.  Too many people are waiting to get it all together before moving out on their #assignment.  Waiting only delays your healing and is disobedience.  Disobedience causes delays and delays cause people to miss their seasons.  These missed seasons are reminders that someone missed an #assignment.  When you miss your #assignment someone doesn't get the breakthrough intended to come through you.

So if you've been waiting to move out realize You will be healed, delivered, and set free as you move in obedience toward your #assignment.  Yashua told his disciples to come and follow him in his #assignment and as they did they received what was needed in the process of going!  Today be encouraged to begin moving toward your #assignment so that the #GodProcess may take place in your life.

 

Be blessed! Shalom!
