It’s None Of My Business

When more than one person comes to you with words that were spoken from a naysayer. Let the naysayers nay say. They are used of the devil to distract you. The only way they can get to you is it your pride is wounded. I know what they say may hurt you. But it’s more your ego being wounded.

Jesus kept walking with the heavy cross on his shoulder as they screamed at him obscenities and all kinds of false accusations. He kept going to his final destination. If he lost his focus dropped the cross tried to defend himself Or took the time to retort or retaliate he never would I’ve made it to where he was supposed to be.

Recently it was continuously brought to my attention that there were people talking about me in a very negative way. The same people have talked about many others. They have their critical judgments and self-righteousness where they feel that I’m not good enough to do what I do. But all glean from what I’m doing. The enemy will use anything to stop you even your peers. I’ve prayed for better friends truer friends. But God wants me to be faithful to the ones I have now. There are times when you are more friend to someone then they are to you. You have to be ok with that. Let Jesus be your best friend so you can both laugh and what the devil is trying to use against you.

So if I get caught up in what they have to say I’m not doing what I have to do because I’m distracted and thinking of how it is I could defend myself.

When I was getting upset about the things I heard. I prayed God what is it and why is it they were saying these things. He showed me they are jealous and we’re not mature enough do you understand me. That I could continue to sow my seeds into their lives without taking any mind to their negativity.

Basically, I was to ignore them just like Jesus did when the crowd screaming at him. None of us have had the battles Jesus has had. So why should we gripe? It’s just like with a bully you have to ignore what they are doing for them to stop. When your focus is so forward what’s beside you if it’s not guiding you to where you need to be it needs to be ignored.

We are to cast our cares on the Lord so take what they say to the cross bring them to Gods attention. Take nothing they say personally. Be about the Lords business. When you do even your enemies will be at peace with you.

Thy Faith Saved Thee Go In Peace

37 And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster box of ointment,

38 And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.

39 Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner.

40 And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on.

41 There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.

42 And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?

43 Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.

44 And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.

45 Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet.

46 My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment.

47 Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.

48 And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.

49 And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?

50 And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.

She wept at Yeshua’s/ Jesus feet the shame of her sin she couldn’t even look up at him. Her tears in his presence were her confession. She sought him found him. Those that seek him shall find him. Washing ones feet is away of honoring them. Being grateful for his journey she cleansed and anointed his feet with oil. She was able to come to him as any sinner could. It was her faith in finding him.

“Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart.”
Psalms 119:2

The Centurion Intercessor











Luke 7





7 Now when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entered into Capernaum.





2 And a certain centurion’s servant, who was dear unto him, was sick, and ready to die.





3 And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant.





4 And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:





5 For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.





6 Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof:





7 Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed.





8 For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.





9 When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.





10 And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole that had been sick.





The Centurion had great faith he stood in the gap for his servant. He was a man in position of authority and knew how to use it. He even had the boldness to go directly to Yeshua/Jesus to ask him to heal his servant even tho he never met him face to face. It’s what we call standing in gap. There was no way the ill servant could go to Yeshua so his master the one who had lordship over him sent word in his place. The Centurions confidence was in the the power of God and in who he knew he was to direct that power in the right direction. He had faith in healing and knew accoding to the word it only had to be sent. 










Psalm 107:20





20 He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.





All the Lord had to do was send the word. Basically he saw there was faith hope and a will. The faith came from relationship. The Centurion had to know who Yeshua was to know he had the power to heal. He also had favor as he had sown into the kingdom of God by building synagogues. The elder Jews went to te Lord for him. As the Lord had come towards the Centurion’s home he had friends meet him outside saying he’s not worthy for him to even enter his home just send the word we will receive it in our home. The Lord did and marveked at his faith.  https://youtu.be/HGWzo5EdQ0w











	


	
	






	
	

		
	

		
What Is New Age/Occult? Why Is It So Dangerous?
	


	

		
Let me first start with this.


Revelation 22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:


19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.


These practices bring people into a non-biblical awareness of the esoteric. By adding to the bible they created a new doctrine and a false one. This has caused many churches to be Laeodacia churches, with the Lord who was once welcome there to be knoncking on their door to come back in. Churches are being fooled by the strange fire because it too has power. The occultic practices have replaced the biblical ones. The scripture Revelation 22:18 is very clear to not only steer clear but what will happen to you or your church if you do these things.


This alone should scare people from adding anything to the church or ministry of Christ. But many have been seduced led astray with false doctrines. I’ve heard preachers say, when I use these types of practices ministry is much faster. Beware! You are being deceived, speed was never an option with the ministry of Christ.  It’s only God speed when the Lord chooses it to be.


God is mysterious and he will do what he chooses to do. This is why we are to seek his face. Yeshua(Jesus) said I do nothing but the will of my Father. That being said do you really think the Lord would want new age in his church? In order to seek his will and not miss the mark we must line everything up with his word of God.




Ephesians 1:9-12


9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:

10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:

11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:

12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.


The world is looking for answers most are looking in the wrong places. We must line our doctrines up with the Holy Bible. It is not only the oldest recorded word in history, it is the inspired word of God. The bible teaches us how to minister=help people. It teaches us how to pray and what we should be doing to see people set free or healed. Somehow the snake slithered his way into the church body and up to pulpits of many churches.


New Age is known as self help, making yourself into the great I am. I can do this without God, his word or prayer. I have a better way. It always stems from false religions or false doctrines. All of it has satan hidden behind it. The word occult means something hidden. Why would the devil want to hide behind these practices? He’s doing it to get you to indirectly worship him. The kingdom of darkness always mimics Gods. An example of this is when Moses threw down his staff it turned into a snake(well technically a crocodile, but we wont get into that now you may want to look into that). The pharisees threw down their staffs and they turned into snakes too. God’s snake ate all of their snakes, showing the higher power comes from God and that the kingdom of darkness has power too. Being that the enemy’s only power is what we give him. It makes sense he would be the author of confusion, creating false religions to hide himself behind to get worship.  “Thou shalt have no other gods before Me” (Hebrew: לא יהיה־לך אלהים אחרים על־פני‬) is one of the Ten Commandments found in the Bible at Exodus 20:2 I am the LORD thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before Me. 3 Thou shalt not make unto thee a graven image, nor any manner of likeness, of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; 4 thou shalt not bow down unto them, nor serve them; for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate Me; 5 and showing mercy unto the thousandth generation of them that love Me and keep My commandments. {S} 6 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh His name in vain.


Deuteronomy 5:6 I am the LORD thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before Me.


Having no god before him means worshiping him alone. When you practice these occultic practices it causes you to be worshiping false gods. How you say? Well, I’ll use yoga as an example. In yoga each movement is a prayer to  hindu god. The word yoga actually means hindu practice. Now as a Christian we can not be a hindu, so anyone doing this is opening their life open to confusion along with demonic entities.

Here’s a list of other occultic and new age practices:


Occult-Practices


 Be In Health -Occultism

Why are these practices so dangerous?


All of the above list may come across as innocent things, some present themselves as God sent things. and all are no doubt on my mind from the devil. Hebrews 2:14-15 14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.


Occult activity rejects God’s will for mankind. Occult practice is hazardous because it is a violation of the will of God. It is forbidden by God and even pronounced to be an “abomination” to Him Deuteronomy 18:9-12 9 When thou art come into the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch.11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord: and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee.


The only power has is what we give him. If a person opens themselves up to any of these they will have a measure of grace from God to get it right. But if they continue in them they will in no doubt have demonic involvement of some sort. It will cause health issues or anxiety. Romans 6:23 23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.


These 5 verses are giving all of us major warnings from the Lord on what specific areas of the occult that we are to avoid like the plague. To be forewarned is to be properly armed.




    

  • “There shall not be found among you anyone who makes His son or daughter pass through the fire, or one who practices witchcraft, or a soothsayer, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, or one who conjures up spells, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead. For all who do these things are an abomination to the Lord, and because of these abominations the Lord your God drives them out from before you. You shall be blameless before the Lord your God.” (Deuteronomy 18:10-13)
    • 



    

  • “And take heed, lest you lift your eyes to heaven, and when you see the sun, the moon, and the stars, all the host of heaven, you feel driven to worship them and serve them …” (Deuteronomy 4:19)
    • 



    

  • “Give no regard to mediums and familiar spirits; do not seek after them, to be defiled by them: I am the Lord your God.” (Leviticus 19:31)
    • 



    

  • “And the person who turns after mediums and familiar spirits, to prostitute himself with them, I will set My face against that person and cut him off from his people.” (Leviticus 20:6)
    • 



    

  • “So Saul died for His unfaithfulness which he had committed against the Lord because He did not keep the word of the Lord, and also because He consulted a medium for guidance.” (1 Chronicles 10:13)
    • 





“Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.” —Hebrews 13:9 


I personally renounced all practices I found the devil had duped me into dabbling in. I also went trough deliverance and healing too. I would say to anyone that has gotten involved please seek the Lord for guidance in removing any ungodly influences over your life.


Here are some steps you can take: 




    

  • Confess the specific activity before God as a sin and ask for His forgiveness.
    • 



    

  • Renounce the specific activity before God and tell Him that you will never, ever participate in that activity again.
    • 



    

  • Burn or throw away all books, objects, or items associated with this activity.
    • 



    

  • Directly engage with the demons by speaking out loud to the them, telling them they no longer have any legal right to stay attached to you since the occult activity has now been fully confessed and fully renounced before God the Father.
    • 



    

  • Then command them to now leave you in the name of Jesus Christ and for them to never, ever come back on you again.
    • 





You should seek a full gospel church that may help you in deliverance from any thing that may have attached itself to you as a result of an open door with these activities.


Be blessed because we are victorious in Christ! Don’t allow the enemy to beat yourself up for being duped. It has happened to the best of us. It’s time for us to stop and be that pure bride he’s coming for.

	


	
	






	
	

		
	

		
If I Could Walk On Water……………..
	


	

		
Imagine the faith it took for Peter to take those few steps. But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. It took a lot of faith to do what he did with the Lord in front of him he still failed. The Lord rebuked him for falling in the water. He said O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? 


If we could walk on water we’d have courage to fight many battles and overcome.  I bet Peter felt so enthused by his little conquest. He still goes down as the only one in history to  walk on water like Yeshua(Jesus) did. I wish I had that faith. What it takes is hearing the Lords voice to do the impossible with him. Listen and obey the Lord and he’ll use these feats to build your confidence to do much more.


If I could walk on water I’d do the most amazing things. The Lord has walked me through things you wouldn’t believe. The mini tornadoes in Colorado Springs he had me drive through one to not get stuck in the flash floods. I prayed in tongues the whole time driving through. It started with pellets than they got to the size of golf balls and sheets of ice covered my windshield. I heard the Lord clearly keep driving no harm will come to you. I did it crying the whole time too lol. At the time I didn’t know it was mini tornadoes until I got back and listened to the news. My car never left the ground I made it through. I didn’t walk on water but if I did God could ask me to do anything and I could!


Our faith must increase for these days ahead. We’ll have to trust him to do for us the impossible to keep us protected and safe. In the movies “Cry China” the woman was in front of a firing squad and all of the bullets were taken away by a strong wind not one hit her. Do you want that faith too?


What could God use you to do if you could walk on water? He’s bidding us all to come rise up in our faith!
