Cursed?

even the average person lies once every 8 minutes..

By humility and the fear of the LORD are riches, and honour, and life. ~ Proverbs 22:4 KJV

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. ~ Psalms 1:1-3 KJV

1 Timothy 1 13 Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

Hebrews 5 2 Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity.

Jas 1:20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God. 21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. 22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before  a fall. Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than  to divide the spoil with the proud. ~ Proverbs 16:18-19 KJV

Lately I  have had people tell me that demons clearly  have been visiting and  bothering them  and they wondered why?

Now ironically some of these people WHO HAD NOW realized they were being cursed, and THAT a tormenting messenger of Satan had come to buffet them,  so they now  had visiting demons,  they had even failed to realize they were reaping what they themselves had sowed, as they had also cursed others.. Jesus said that our ‘hatred of others without a cause’ is like murder.

And they wondered what they can do.. Well for a start they can humbly admit, confess to God all of their past, present sins and ask for His forgiveness, cleansing, redemption, deliverance by Jesus Christ.

CURSES CAN BE  NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES, BUT THEY ARE ALSO THE BAD PRAYERS SENT AGAINST US,  ANSWERED BY THE DEVIL,  SENT BY BAD PEOPLE, EVEN BY BAD PASTORS, RELATIVES, SOMEONE ELSE SUCH AS BAD HINDUS AND THE MUSLIMS  NOW TOO.. BUT IN THE NAME OF JESUS YOU CAN NULLIFY THEM, RENDER THEM VOID, USELESS. ANY CURSE IS REMOVED AT CALVARY FOR ALL CHRISTIANS WHO WILL ACCEPT THE SUBSTITUTE PROVIDED BY GOD.  Thus if you are in a right relationship with God ‘NO WEAPON FORMED OR FASHIONED AGAINST ME SHALL PROSPER INCLUDING CURSES OR BAD WORDS THROWN AT US ,, All PERSONS who do not accept the Lord Jesus Christ as their substitute are EVEN under the curse of the law. BUT FOR CHRISTIANS Christ was made a curse for us on Calvary’s tree, but the curse on Satan remains, and the curse of the broken laws of God remain on all who are disobedience to it;  God Himself was the first one to pronounce curses – on the earth, on Eve’s fertility and upon the serpent. Curses are not just a primitive superstition; they are spiritual pronouncements recorded in Scripture, that profoundly affect the very structure of reality in some way.

These demonic attack can effect the person’s spirit, mind, and body. However curses are not playthings and are profoundly emotionally disturbing for those who experience them. They are not just angry words or swear words; they are acts of power in the spiritual realm.Yes the  personal oppression from curses is caused by the release of demons by others even against the targeted Christian. This  oppression may be the false  expression of hatred for all Christians.  The darkness within such a rather bad person will recognize the light of Christ within a Christian and they do even in jealousy oppose it falsely too.. Human beings tend to still be very  carnal and apart from Jesus Christ, his holy Spirit there tends to be still nothing good in them.

There are over 200 verses on curses in Scripture and were foundational to the Old Covenant (see Deuteronomy 28-30)  and the   list just touches on some of the main causes and their remedies. Basically a curse can only alight on an area that God has already judged as being worthy of a curse – even such as an unrepented sin, or bad acts such as stealing,  stinginess, drunkenness, lying, hatred, unforgiveness, incest , idolatry or murder. Most curses generally last only 3-4 generations though some have lasted since Creation. Repentance from sin, breaking ties with the occult and taking refuge in Christ who has become a curse for us are the main strategies we can use to break curses.

Now it is in MAINLY in the spiritual dimension that curses start to work  for  the bad prayers of  Curses release the demons to attack a person next even physically . I have had people admit to me they had cursed, targeted specially Christians in their cursings. The energy of curses can be and  is  negative and destructive. Sadly the bad  persons may even  take devilish delight in sending demon spirits to attack the Christians, others. Curses may be aimed at you by others because of: hatred, envy, greed, jealousy, the use of magic, spiritual conflict and the desire for revenge. These curses, demons are released against one another even  by another’s use of witchcraft, hateful words, slander, by one’s hateful attitude and even by the false negative and controlling ‘Christian’ prayer even by pastors too now or a spouse…  Curses may come upon you even  because of your own poor conduct ,  participation in the occult, prostitution, fornication, sexual immorality, adultery,   injustice, direct defiance of God,  disobedience to God especially in an important area, and involvement in secret societies with unacceptable  rituals and vows.  In some cases parents curse their children, particularly the first-born son, in order to attain POWER in a deal with Satan or his representatives. This is said to occur in Masonic rituals.

YES you can break this Oppression by recognizing your authority in Jesus Christ to do so. You resisting whenever the demon manifests; by knowing that God is in you and greater is HE that is in you than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4 says that we overcome ‘because he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world’. You go humbly into prayer and you take authority against any manifestation of this demon. Do this repeatedly until all of this oppression is gone. The good news is that breaking curses can be surprisingly easy for Christians because we dwell under the protection of the blood of Jesus Christ. Curses have greatest power where the person who has been cursed has committed some great act of wickedness such as involvement in the occult. The reverse is also true, curses have little or no power over a righteous person and Proverbs says that a curse without cause will not alight on the head of a righteous man.

Part of this is putting on the whole armor of God, which is designed to protect us from curses leveled against us in the course of spiritual warfare (Ephesians 6:10-18). When the curse is lifted then the human spirit that has been affected by the curse and been bowed down with pain, confusion and futility will be quickly healed. The person will recover and emotional normality should soon follow.

2 Corinthians 2
11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.

Ever notice how often the devil and his followers claim they are really there to help you, as though you could not live without them/

Now  it is true that our own words of unbelief do still often contradict what God says he can do for us, thus we need to confess God’s word to us, and still rather not our own will, desires as only God’s revealed will, word for us can succeed..

Romans 7:23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.

Clearly the devil wants to use the demons and others  to  impregnate our mind with their lies, falsehoods so he can make you mentally sick, and useless to God and to others.. resist, ignore this demon..

Now  the Bible  says  that we are to empty our mind and next solely to take the mind of Jesus Christ. We are thus to take every thought of ours into captivity and subject them all solely to the mind of Christ, the Holy Spirit, and that is what the real God, the Bible teaches, the demon do not want you to  DO  that of course…

2 Corinthians 10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

Hebrews 2:1 Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.2 For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward;3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; 4 God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?
5 For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak.6 But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him?7 Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:8 Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.11 For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,12 Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.13 And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me.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.16 For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.17 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.18 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.

Keep your eyes and faith on/in Him at all times.

Be still, and know that I am God

 
(Psa 46:10 NIV) “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth
 
The lives of some of The best saints are detailed in the  Bible,  Job, Samson, Joseph, King David, Esther, Ruth.. etc.. and how any one can say that  any  of these people now tended to have an easy life because of their faith in God is beyond me.. rather truly it can be said of each one of these persons as well.. “when I thought it can no longer get  any worse, it did..  and it really got a lot, lot worse”.. with no immediate solution general in sight.. these people came out of the long dark tunnel cause they kept their faith in God and their eyes on God.. and God’s deliverance was not automatic for any of them as well.

(Psa 56:1 KJV)  Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me.
 
(Psa 56:5 KJV)  Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts are against me for evil.
 
(Psa 56:6 KJV)  They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.
 
(Psa 56:7 KJV)  Shall they escape by iniquity? in thine anger cast down the people, O God.
 
(Psa 56:8 KJV)  Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?
 
(Psa 56:9 KJV)  When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me.
 
When I cry unto thee.. God will deal with my enemies..
 
(Psa 56:10 KJV)  In God will I praise his word: in the LORD will I praise his word.
 
(Psa 56:11 KJV)  In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.
 
(Psa 56:12 KJV)  Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee.
 
(Psa 56:13 KJV)  For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?
 
(Psa 57:1 KJV)   Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast.
 
(Psa 57:2 KJV)  I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me.
 
(Psa 57:3 KJV)  He shall send from heaven, and save me from the reproach of him that would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth his mercy and his truth.

(Psa 57:4 KJV)  My soul is among lions: and I lie even among them that are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.

(Psa 57:5 KJV)  Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let thy glory be above all the earth.

(Psa 57:6 KJV)  They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down: they have digged a pit before me, into the midst whereof they are fallen themselves. Selah.

(Psa 57:7 KJV)  My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise.

(Psa 57:8 KJV)  Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.

(Psa 57:9 KJV)  I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing unto thee among the nations.

(Psa 57:10 KJV)  For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds.

(Psa 57:11 KJV)  Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: let thy glory be above all the earth.

(John 16:33 KJV)  These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

(1 Cor 15:57 KJV)  But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

(1 Cor 15:58 KJV)  Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
(1 John 5:4 KJV)  For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. 5  Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

(Rev 15:2 KJV)  And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God. 3  And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.

We have to be willing to trust God and surrender everything to Him daily too , and we can only do that through an intimate relationship with Him.  Only then can we be still and know that He is God.

You do really need to keep faith and eyes on God daily, not mere men.. even in Church!

(Psa 56:2 KJV)  Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that fight against me, O thou most High.

(Psa 56:3 KJV)  What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.

(Psa 56:4 KJV)  In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.

Our trust in God is based on His Word, right , his words in the Bible which we have to claim by faith, appropriate by faith personally for ourselves.

How to best prepare to meet God

 

 How to best prepare to meet God in all worship Services. God Himself is still now calling us to come to him.

1. First, you should prepare to meet God alone  in any worship  service, not the Pastor, your friends, or to show off your clothes, and we need to prepare for worship of God  by drawing near to God in our hearts even firstly at home, at work, in our surroundings, hourly, daily, and note not just a few hours on Sunday! Few people next make it to the Sunday evening Service and even fewer people next do make to the prayer meeting.. showing really to all as how much they really do love God

2 Samuel 22:33 God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect.

1 Chronicles 16:11 Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually.

John 6:27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.

Proverbs 23:4 Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom.

5 Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.

Proverbs 22:1 A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold.

2 The rich and poor meet together: the LORD is the maker of them all.

4 By humility and the fear of the LORD are riches, and honour, and life.

Psalms 37:16 A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked.

Proverbs 27:24 For riches are not for ever: and doth the crown endure to every generation?

Proverbs 13:7 There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches.

Proverbs 30:8 Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me:

Ecclesiastes 6:2 A man to whom God hath given riches, wealth, and honour, so that he wanteth nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof, but a stranger eateth it: this is vanity, and it is an evil disease.

Job 20:15 He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again: God shall cast them out of his belly.

Psalms 62:10 Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.

Proverbs 10 :22 The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.

2 Corinthians 6:10 As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.

Luke 6:24 But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation.

Philippians 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Colossians 3L16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

1 Timothy 6:9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.

17 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;

18 That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate;

Isaiah 44:22 I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee.

Malachi 3:7 Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. But ye said, Wherein shall we return?

Jeremiah 4:1 If thou wilt return, O Israel, saith the LORD, return unto me: and if thou wilt put away thine abominations out of my sight, then shalt thou not remove.

Jeremiah 24:7 And I will give them an heart to know me, that I am the LORD: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God: for they shall return unto me with their whole heart.

When God said  “You did not return to me,” he did not mean that they should have come more often to a physical place of worship. The returning was not a physical movement. Returning to God was a movement of the heart, not just  a movement of the body.

Psalms 34:18 The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.

Psalms 51:17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

Isaiah 57:15 For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

Isaiah 66:2 For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.

There is always heart preparation to be done in order to meet God.

Jesus said, “This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me” (Matt. 15:8). When this is the case the preparation needed is a movement of the heart from far to near, and yet it is a movement that is not measured in inches or miles.

— It is measured with the tape of attention — you may not even be thinking of God Saturday night or Sunday morning. So your heart is far from him measured by attention.

— Or it may be measured by the tape of focus — you may have some attention on God but it is broken up by other things and there is no focused attention that gets God clearly in view and makes him the primary object of attention.

— It is measured by the tape of desire — you may feel little desire for God but be very much caught up in a greater desire for sports or finances or a trip to the lake, while the desire and the longing for God is weak by comparison.

— Or it can be measured by the tape of trust and hope — your trust in God may be weak and your hope faint and wavering.

— Or it may be measured by the tape of delight or joy in God — you may feel much more pleasure Saturday night in a late movie than in meeting God in the morning.

Everyone of us is far from where we want to be on one of these measuring tapes every week.

Our primary goal is to meet God , and to commune with him and to hear him and to speak to him and to savor him and this is very hard to do and that it takes teaching an and preparation of heart, a conscious priority — a sustained, God centered focus on dealing with God without mere human distraction

2. The second preparation for God and his  worship is that we always do still renounce all of our known sin in our lives before coming to worship God.

I John 1:9     That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;2 (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;)3 That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.4 And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full. 5    This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

Many of  wealthy people of Israel in the Old testament had also  tried to make love with their true husband while keeping a mistress on the side. They tried to worship God while concealing their many sins in their lives. They also wrongfully had  oppressed the poor, and crushed the needy, while trying to live in wealth and luxury. 

2 Chronicles 28”10 And now ye purpose to keep under the children of Judah and Jerusalem for bondmen and bondwomen unto you: but are there not with you, even with you, sins against the LORD your God?

Isaiah 1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

Isaiah 59:2 But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.

Jeremiah 5:25 Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good things from you.

Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;

Galatians 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

Worship will inevitably become a weak, empty form and ritual if we try to keep on with it while our hearts are running after other gods. God will gladly take the dirtiest sinner into his arms on Sunday morning who comes with a broken and contrite heart intent on forsaking all known sin and trusting in Jesus for cleansing. But God will not be mocked by those who make like they love him and willfully break his law during the week. So the second act of preparation is to confess and renounce all known sin and come to the  worship of God cleansed by the blood of Jesus and resting in his forgiveness and hope.

3. The third preparation for the worship of God is that we take note of how God has been trying to get our attention.

Five times in Amos 4 God says that he had done specific things in the lives of his people to turn them back to himself. And five times it says, “Yet you did not return to me.” Each of these things God had done to get their attention could be explained as natural events with no divine cause. But God holds Israel accountable to listen and respond. That’s the meaning of “Yet you did not return to me.”

In not hearing the voice of God, or seeing the hand of God, Israel failed to prepare to meet him. That is what we must not do. We must wake up and stop looking at our lives like secular, scientific,  naturalists. God is doing things in your life which are gracious providential messages to return to him and trust him. Take note of what he God has been saying to us in our lives to draw us to himself.

4. Finally, worship starts by also going to a n honest,, holy spirit led church where all of  Christ’s truth are  honored and fellowshipping also during the week with the Body of Christ, in prayer as well.

The Israelites were clearly a religious people. They came to Bethel and came gladly. But they had lost touch with the God of truth and they were not worshiping in truth. There were some left over forms like tithing and thank-offerings and sacrifices. But the very center and heart of worship was missing — the true God.

“So I close with these suggestions for how we might prepare ourselves and others to meet effectively our God even in the Church services:

1. Set aside some time during the week and pray for all of the Church services, and especially Saturday night begin the orientation onto worship. Turn off the television and set your mind on things that above with the word of God and a time of prayer. Pray that God will be manifest in the services, that men will be convicted of sins and judgment and will thus repent.

2. Saturday night also do Go to bed early enough so that you are fresh and emotionally alive Sunday morning. The price of late night movies or parties on Saturday will be powerless worship Sunday morning.

3. Get up in time Sunday so that you do not have to rush to get to church, but have a little time to be alone with God and ask his blessing on you and your family and on the church. I can almost promise you that you depth of your communion with God in the service will be directly proportionate to the way you have sought the Lord for his blessing Saturday night and Sunday morning. This will take some discipline and some planning. But you will probably never turn back once you taste the fruit.

4. When you come into the sanctuary begin to seek the Lord. That means that by and large there will be a holy hush across the sanctuary. But it will be a very different kind of stillness than the awkward silence before a Sunday School class where you want everyone to mill around and talk and nobody is. There is a world of difference. And the difference will be made and felt by whether hundreds of you really going hard after God, or just politely waiting for the show to begin. You will make the difference in those minutes as to whether a visitor senses cool distance or the reality of God. The very point of those moments of going hard after of God is that this room will be filled with the power of God. The goal of those moments is not that people will be impressed with us — either our piety or our friendliness — but that they will fall on their face and say, “God is in this place.” And that will only happen people are taken up with God.

If you want your friendship to go deep with someone, I invite you to make an experiment. As you enter the sanctuary talking, and the prelude begins, try saying this: “Let’s finish this discussion after the service. I think John needs our prayers. Let’s do battle for him.” My wager is; that camaraderie in the warfare of prayer will take your friendship deeper than another five minutes of conversation.

5. If you have to come late –and we all do from time to time — minister to those who have to sit in the commons and minister to those worshipping in the sanctuary with a spirit of worship and prayer.

6. Finally, before every act of worship, whether a hymn or a reading or a prayer or an anthem or a moment of silence or a sermon, say to Lord, “Lord, I come. I come to loved worship, praise and to sing to you. I come to pray to you. I come to listen to your word. I come to enjoy your presence.” Don’t drift through the service as though the action is on the platform. Become the main player Listens and  also do pray for the others during the services, pray that they will listen, repent as well.

The greatest action in worship is when a heart that is far from the Lord draws near to the Lord, and focuses on him and desires him and trusts him and enjoys him. “

Worship him everyday, prepare  to worship him as well

Matthew :10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

Matthew 8 :2 And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

Matthew 9:18 While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a certain ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.

Matthew 14:33 Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.

Matthew 1525 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help

Mark 5:6 But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him,

John 4:20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.

21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.

22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.

23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.

24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

Tarry

“If you wish to go to Paradise, Heaven, New Jerusalem, Heavenly Zion,  you must submit yourself to the authority of God, the King of Kings, Jesus Christ and do things his way, even down to the smallest matters of  If you cannot submit yourself to the King in the  small matter such as they are, why should he expect you to recognize your presence in any other matters? Would he fling open the gates of Paradise and fill his kingdom with rebels? Of Course not.

In order to obtain the original and the final visa (the power to become a son of God) you must recognize (receive) the official who represents the king and all of his demands of you too.. Including  being Holy Spirit filled. The true representative of God is expressed by His anointing. The word “Christ” means “anointed one.” Had the Jews been listening, Jesus told them on more than one occasion where his anointing had  came from. In Luke 4:18-19, Jesus said, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the broken hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.”

Even Jesus Christ  He knew he needed God’s Spirit to be with him if he were to accomplish the Father’s purpose in sending him to earth. He had already before this had emptied himself and was a man, powerless to do the work of God in himself (Phil. 2:7-8, John 5:19, 30). When the time came, God had an anointed servant in the earth named John the Baptist. Jesus came and submitted himself to God’s authority expressed through John and was baptized. As he came up out of the water the anointing came upon him like a dove as the Father testified from heaven, “Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” Mark 1:11. One thing Jesus said was most telling: “… he hath anointed me to preach the gospel …” (Lk. 4:18).

It was no wonder why Jesus hadn’t tried to preach the gospel before!  Think about it! In spite of the fact that he was the virgin-born Son of God and was both knowledgeable and sincere, he still firstly  lived the life of an obscure carpenter till his baptism! So it too was no wonder why Jesus instructed the disciples to “tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.” Luke 24:49. Could it be that the anointing is necessary in order to preach the gospel?

Hebrews 5:4 sets forth a principle of ministry: “And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron.” Paul posed the question, “And how shall they preach, except they be sent?” Rom. 10:15. Do you suppose that being sent by a denomination is the same thing as being sent by Christ? There is a great difference between having Christ’s authority and anointing  to do a thing and trying to do it without that Anointing. Yet many falsely try to do the ministry without the anointing, calling.

In Acts 19 there was a chief priest among the Jews names Sceva. He had seven sons who evidently had observed Paul’s authority over evil spirits through the Name of Jesus and thought they would use his method. Before the man with the evil spirit beat them up and chased them away the spirit said to them, “Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?” Acts 19:15. It certainly wasn’t Paul’s method that enabled him to succeed. Devils only recognize and fear those who have authority from Christ.

Many evangelical groups falsely do still  arise each claiming to have a special arrangement with the King to grant visas. These groups develop conflicting ideas about the Gospel even  and the proper procedure for going there. Nevertheless they falsely still do and zealously plunge ahead giving out official-looking documents right and left, competing with one another for followers too. Men and women who undertake to preach the gospel without Christ’s anointing are no more effective than were the seven sons of Sceva. Their followers next also may appear religious but they are still  not citizens of God’s kingdom. It is just a case of the Blind leading the blind here too.  men have learned the words and methods and have employed them without the anointing. The will and leadership of men — often inspired by religious spirits — have been substituted for the active practical leadership of Christ, the Head. Christ has been reduced to a mere figurehead with no real authority or influence over what is done in His Name. The only possible result is Babylon — confusion. Such religious “houses” wind up the same way the Jews’ did — desolate. “

Unfortunately and falsely in real life this is not so, too many demonic hirelings use the Gospel to further their own personal ends, filthy lucre under the guise they are serving the lord, solicit, demand, beg, coerce others into giving.

1 Corinthians 6: 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

Mark 9:43 And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:

1 Timothy 3:3 Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;

8 Likewise must the deacons be grave, not double tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre;

Titus 1:7 For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not self willed, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre;

11 Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre’s sake.

1 Peter 5:2 Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;

John 5:44 How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?

Revelation 21:27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.

Galatians 1:10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.

Colossians 3:1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

About those that hate me and thee wrongfully

(Job 8:22 KJV) They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame; and the dwelling place of the wicked shall come to nought

STILL KNOWN BY WHAT YOU DO NOW.

(Mat 7:18 KJV) A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
(Luke 6:43 KJV) For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
(Mat 7:19 KJV) Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
(Mat 7:20 KJV) Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

Too often in life now to my own surprise I have been given orders, mandatory commandments by control freaks clearly too as to what I should do, like not … but I am a slave to no man still. Not surprisingly many pridefull people try to take the place of God in my life too, AND these imposters claim even that they have been chosen, designated by God to command over me, THAT I am required into forced submission to their whims, desires , commands. But funny God now himself has not revealed those facts as well to me BUT only to them. I put my trust in God and not in man..

AND WHEN YOU DO NOT DO WHAT THEY WANT YOU TO DO THESE SAME RATHER LITTLE BAD CHILDREN INSULT YOU, SLANDER YOU, DIVORCE YOU, OSTRACIZE YOU, BAD MOUTH YOU.

The WRONGFULLY STILL Unrepentant bully’s problem is that he or she is one of those bad persons who only feels truly alive when voicing hostility and contempt for his “enemies.” Without that, he or she starts gasping for air. It’s his nature.. self-destructive” .. clearly these immoral Bully, Basher of others, Abusers of others has a disappointed, deflated ego, negative self worth, most likely related to past unresolved guilt, as a result of that the bully, he or she, tries falsely to build their ego up by bashing, hating others, by being an antagonists against his proclaimed enemies, which too often also is most people , for he or she no longer trust anyone, and Abusers this is a common very typical approach, fact in the character build up of Bullies, Bashers, but their approach is futile, the subsequent feeling of self worth dissipates too quickly, are actually replaced by guilt, and his ego, self worth likely needs to be recharged with new hate.. and is replaced with more and larger hatred of the others. I have seen this type of wrong behavior not just in bad managers, bad politicians, bad persons, but in alcoholics, and most often in Albertan rednecks ,but also in religious fundamentals evangelicals who promote hated towards Pentecostal Christians as well, and now as well as the crooked pastor wrongfully fighting for control over others. Public exposure and prosecution of these bad persons here too services everyone’s best interest.

Control freaks do often have a terrible personal, social life too and do often make all life terrible for those they live with, marry, work with, come in contact with. They are the often Fear-driven persons who question and complain to all others unless every task is done by others as they want it too be done, practical or not, to the full satisfaction of their own selfish needs, desires which much always come first. Do they feel guilty living such a clearly selfish, self centered life.. now, not openly and explains why they tend to behave so crazy like too. Covering up for them, falsely denying who they are is also still an act of the other crazy people now too. Their clear need to control others is almost always still mostly fueled by their ongoing selfishness, self centeredness, anxiety, personal fears, and imaginary ones mostly too, but the control freaks wrongfully seldom recognize any of their negative behaviors, acts so never mind next openly even now admitting their own motivation fears. Which leads to the question can there be next hope for them.. unlikely…Disregard simply their demands always and do not give into them, for it will wrongfully reinforce that they were right about their too often still unfounded fears rather too..And most people try hard to avoid the Control freaks, by desperately trying to have nothing to do with them in case these supposedly crazies next go berserk and do something stupid, violent, embarrassing next.. for this fear motivation that the control freaks they tend to have is not at all healthy or normal.Do readily now Tell them to get help, and the sooner the better, to deal with their much too many fears due often to their personal unresolved guilt, and/or fears of negative resulting possible consequences, or the fear of dying, getting hurt, being fired, mugged, becoming poor, or whatever.. The control minded Sickness, Illness can likely rightfully often be associated with the persons own past actual bad acts, unresolved moral guilt in their own contemporary minds and their subsequent behavior now seen as related punishment for their own past, unconfessed, unrepented of moral wrongdoings that can, does come forth and so such association of cause and effect can really still exists for them as well

(1 Tim 6:12 KJV) Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. 13 I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession; 14 That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:

I agree that the Bible clearly says our ongoing Christian walk is a daily spiritual battle with Satan, and sadly with some other of Satan’s followers, men and women too. We are to continually chose God’s way and not Satan, and not rather to give in to the devil, and then falsely justify it.

(Acts 7:51 KJV) Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye.
(2 Tim 3:8 KJV) Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
(James 4:7 KJV) Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

For being nice. kind, friendly to a really bad person is still also a complete waste of time, for they will not change their negative behaviors on their own, they see no reasons to do so now still too. Sad but true.

We cannot never control a bad person, a drug addict or an alcoholic, but we can learn all about it and learn firstly to control our own behavior, appropriate responses –including how we should behave in the relationship with the sick and suffering and /or possibly manipulative addict or alcoholic, abuser OR THESE pretentious persons..

Public exposure and prosecution of the guilty persons seems to be most effective way that works for everyone’s benefit in dealing with the bad acts of others still.

(1 Th 4:7 KJV) For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.(1 Th 5:9 KJV) For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,(2 Tim 1:7 KJV) For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. People who are doing wrong, doing their own thing without God rightfully still do need to feel guilty about they wrongs they are doing too. Believe it or not if you continually cheat, lie, steal, commit adultery, tell lies, do bad things, etc you will subconsciously even feel bad about yourself and have a very low self esteem too and often falsely try to compensate the void by the false counterfeits still of power, control, more lusts, money etc., to no permanent avail too

If you are a Control freak you are not only still an unrealistic, immature, immoral person but you may have a serious personality disorder. You likley are a menace, plus a real danger to yourself and to others, for you are an abuser, a human rights violator too.

I can readily recognize bad control freaks on the net cause they want to give me advice how to write my post, what to write, in fact they want to rather write it for me.. rather fools is what they really are.. I freely can speak for myself, write for myself now too. You readily find these freaks also in churches, homes, etc., demonic enslavers is what they rather are too now. Not much point in being nice to them for often they are too dumb to understand who they really are too often too… and they rarely change.

Having clearly now an exaggerated emphasis of your own self importance, being tottally in control is part of a cluster of behaviors that can be labeled as compulsive and generally characterized by perfectionism, orderliness, workaholic tendencies, an inability to make commitments or to trust others and a real cover-up for your fear of having your own flaws exposed. You are exposed now still too..
All these type of Persons who believe they can protect themselves by staying in control of every aspect of their lives, or of others, including their relationships are idiots, fools, grossly in error, in need of professional help, good pastoral counseling.

I rightfully believe in the right of free speech, mine, yours, everyone else’s and not solely yours.

Most all of you have had to contend with control freaks and they are found everywhere, in Corporations, at home, in churches too.. These are those people who insist on having their way in all interactions with you. They wish to set the agenda and decide what it is you will do and when you will do it. You know who they are – they have a driving need to run the show and call the shots. Lurking within the fabric of the conversation is the clear threat that if you do not accede to their needs and demands, they will be unhappy.. and they will delete your post…

While in reality God has made us all equal, and GAVE US ALL MOUTHS WE CAN SPEAK WITH, EARS TO LISTEN, it seems some people, in churches, on the net, elsewhere, they still wrongfully do think they are better than others, or want to dominate others, do try to give orders to others, do try to make rules for others that they too often themselves do not follow too, they are in fact still bullies.. and now why is that? and who do they think they are now that they are so special? Mere fools. They mostly have a hidden agenda, they are falsely seeking fame, power, control, a position of prestige, for they are immoral slave drivers trying to walk on the back of others.

(Job 28:28 KJV) And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.

(2 Chr 19:7 KJV) Wherefore now let the fear of the LORD be upon you; take heed and do it: for there is no iniquity with the LORD our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of gifts

(Psa 19:9 KJV) The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.

(Psa 34:11 KJV) Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD.

(Psa 111:10 KJV) The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.

(Prov 1:7 KJV) The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

(Prov 1:29 KJV) For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:

(Prov 8:13 KJV) The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.

(Prov 9:10 KJV) The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

(Prov 10:27 KJV) The fear of the LORD prolongeth days: but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.

(Prov 14:27 KJV) The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.

(Prov 15:16 KJV) Better is little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure and trouble therewith.

(Prov 15:33 KJV) The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.

(Prov 19:23 KJV) The fear of the LORD tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.

(Prov 23:17 KJV) Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long.

(Isa 33:6 KJV) And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD is his treasure.

(Acts 9:31 KJV) Then had the churches rest throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied.

now that all should be adequate food for thought..

The importance of God’s words over ours

(John 5:38 KJV)  And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.

(2 Chr 36:16 KJV)  But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the LORD arose against his people, till there was no remedy.

 

(2 Ki 1:16 KJV)  And he said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Forasmuch as thou hast sent messengers to inquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron, is it not because there is no God in Israel to inquire of his word? therefore thou shalt not come down off that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.

(Mat 12:37 KJV)  For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
