You don’t know what you got till its gone.

One thing as a guitar player since I was 5, I have always been proud of is my ability to hear and enjoy hearing music and sounds around me.  I always had great hearing. I played guitar by ear and when I joined the Navy I leaned on my ears to do my job.  I was a Cryptologist which I listened via headphones all day and heard lots of static all day. When I retired from Navy,  I still had perfect hearing! God really blessed me with that! As a minister, I also needed both physical/natural hearing with my ears and spiritual hearing of my heart.  God had blessed me with being a hearer in the spirit more than a seer.  I never knew how much I relied on my hearing  with my ears until I woke up one morning and could not hear well in my right ear.

On September 1, 2017, I woke up noticing a strange feeling in my right ear-felt like cotton stuck in my ear and sounded around me sounded muffled.  During the first week, I treated this myself and used over the counter sinus medications.  No improvement and my right ear still felt plugged and congested.  Julie suggested I go walk-in-clinic at the VA and get it checked out. I did.  The nursing staff could not determine what happened… and did nothing.  No improvement noted. The following week, I went to my civilian primary care doctor and he gave me allergy meds and steroids. Still no improvement and  by now my right ear continued to feel plugged and additional decreased hearing noted with speech and sounds around me.

As I was talking to my wife, Julie, I had a great thought. Duh, my wife is a Audiologist!!! She agreed to test my hearing!  I agreed since she can confirm that  all is well. So yesterday I let her do a comprehensive hearing exam.  The look on her face showed the results were not good!  As a wife, she could not treat me,  So today, I had my hearing checked by my Audiologist. He tested me two months prior and knew my previous result was normal hearing in both ears.  What I had suffered the last month was confirmed-mild to severe loss of hearing in my right ear of unknown etiology and he also had no idea how and why.  I can still hear words but reduced hearing in the high frequency range.  I was told most likely it will not return. This is not what I wanted to hear. I don’t know what this will do to my playing guitar.   From my experience, please protect your hearing, I am glad I did. I want to give a special shout out to the Audiology Department my wife works at. I am very impressed with their professionalism and how they are.

The reason why I mentioned the hearing in the natural, this also applies to how we hear in the spirit.

I moved to Texas a year ago and I am concentrating on developing the ministry God gave me and as such I am not on staff anymore as a Pastor. I admit I started slacking on reading the bible and I noticed not long ago I started not hearing God as clear as when I was working as a Pastor. I had gotten used to just hearing Gods voice not having to really work to listen.  I started noticing it quieter or better yet what I was NOT hearing.  I have always said that the natural is the manifestation of the spiritual. Now I have to ask why, what is the reason, is there a reason? I think that God will get ahold of you and get your attention whatever it takes, and I am determined to make an effort to get closer and listen to get it back.

Make sure you appreciate your hearing both spiritual and natural, you don’t know what you got till its gone.

Blessings.

The 3 types of suicide, are they all self murder?

The church for 2000 years has said suicide is the unpardonable sin! I don’t believe that and I will share with you why. I have seen too many suicides recently and I think people need to see the plan of the devil!

Here is a interesting conundrum, I am seeing a lot of Christian ministers who I guess want to show how Godly they are decide to post to the world, declaring that suicide sends you to hell no matter what. They call it self murder, where is the line drawn? Is it all, or not? Do we really know? Here are my different types of suicide; as you will see are not all the same.

Two types of suicide:
1. Act of Love: Jumping on a hand granade is called suicide but do you really think that will send you to hell? Pushing someone out of the way of a car is the same type of action knowing you will die you lay down your life for another. Seems Jesus commanded us to do just that.

1JN 3:16 This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters. Jesus life could not be taken so he gave up his life, is that not the definition of suicide? Jesus knew that in order for the sacrifice to save us to happen he would have to die. He knew (remember he is God) that no man can take his life, so he laid down his life for all of us, again living the commandment he gave in 1 JN 3:16.

2. Acts of deceptions:
Funny that in the last week I have had a friend from the mainland call me asking about this, a friend of his had killed herself and was worried about her. I asked if she was saved, he said yes, then I asked if she was under the curse of depression, he said yes. I really believe that if a person is depressed and fallen for the lies of the devil, then they are not fully under their right minds. After all their blinded and depressed by the father of lies himself! I am not talking I just lost some money and I am bummed, no I am talking a depression that is so dark so deep that you can not hear Gods voice. You feel that no one cares and you are being told that you are better off dead! Just do it, your a burden, your family will be relieved and your family can move on. I have been there once, I know lots of others, I am here to tell you there is no shame, get help! Talk to Pastors, friends, teachers, Doctors for help.

3. Acts of Rebellion:
I might be wrong but what I consider self murder; if a person maliciously takes their lives in a “I will just show them, boy I bet this will make them upset they will see.” Selfish, narcisistic behaviors, thinking only of them selves. I think that is self murder. I don’t know for sure, but remember they leave friends and family who it would hurt badly if you “Ministers” forget love and decide to hammer them for their loved ones moment of weakness.

Al was right well sort of

In this day there is a problem,
Al Gore says the earth has a fever, he does not know how right he is. The Earth is sick, why? Because the church is sick! We have allowed an infection to go unchecked in the body! First a subtle cut, then it gets worse then we grow numb and feverish:

1. 1962- Supreme Court removes prayer from schools, this broke the skin.

2. 1969- Stonewall riots: series of spontaneous, violent demonstrations by members of the gay community, introduced a virulent strain of bacteria.

3: 1973: row vs wade, legalization of abortion, infection sets in.

4: 2000’s: Gay rights laws, legalized marriage, Gays allowed in military, Gays in boy scouts, Gay ministers and performing gay marriages in Gods house; Raging fever!

Now we are seeing the results of the years of sickness,

As the infection has gone unchecked as the US has slowly turned from God this great country who still is the last superpower but not much longer I am afraid.

As I stated the body has a fever, we have an infection that has been going since the mid century. The body of Christ has been weakened and the enemy thinks crippled but we know the truth that the battle is won!
Now for the good news, the cure is here! Jesus Christ is the cure his blood can heal and cure! The bible tells us if MY people called by MY name turn from their wicked ways I will hear and heal their land!
This is for the hurting also, if the adulterers and the homosexuals would realize we are not their enemies, Jesus loved them so much he died for them, I love them so much I would also, I just can not accept a lifestyle that God has called an abomination and I don’t want to see them go to hell and I will not call evil good! This is setting up for the anti christ to come on the scene, the enemy is running about roaring and making noise he thinks he is winning but he has lost and he is too proud to see it. Lets pray for God to visit this land that was set up and dedicated to him and bring a last days harvest in this land of plenty.
God bless

Slippery slope

While pondering what I am speaking about on Fathers Day I started looking around at the world. The Church is content with allowing sin to be with them.
The Boy Scouts, an institution I respected and was part of made a deal with the devil they committed suicide to appease the pc police who decides who can exist or not depending if their inclusive. The Boy Scouts were supported by churches, the Eagle Scout held their ceremonies in the church. Now what will they do? Rely on the pc group to help, they won’t they only wanted to destroy them. Why? Because they were mom and pop Norman Rockwell AMERICA and if they can’t be accepted and have it then NO BODY will!
People we are sliding quickly down a slope, next will be adult leaders, the National Men and Boys love association has been wanting this for years. Put these sick predators with your boys told its ok to experiment then what? What happens when it’s what the leaders want? Who will stop it then? The scouts build leaders from within, the gay scouts grow up then how can you stop them from being masters? It’s a matter of time.
Jesus is the hope, he can take away that sick desire. I have many gay friends and none have this desire so it’s true not all do but when groups brag we need to be vigilant and not paint all with big brush strokes and love them not the sin.
We are on a slope that started in the 1950s with prayer in school, then taking God out of government, then accepting alternative lifestyle next put them in control of the children to replace God. America we need fathers! America we need Father God!
One day soon God will say its time and Death will die and sin will die, till then Maranatha come quickly God!

A mulligan with life

May is a big month for me. On the 24th back in 1988 I got on a plane and flew to Chicago and started boot camp. On the 26th in 2012, I married my best friend. On the 27th, a hot Friday in north Georgia back in 1983 I graduated from high school.

May has turned out to be a month of new beginnings.

At times in my life God has seen that its time to make a change. I almost forgot that on May 27, 1997 I first went to Brownsville Revival, saw what I was like, and God gave me a mulligan a do over in my walk that changed my life.

when your down and you think there’s nothing you can do, ask God for a mulligan. Imagine what you can do with one.

God bless.

The Lucifer Conundrum – update

“You said in your heart, “I will ascend to the heavens; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of Mount Zaphon”. Lucifer said this and is why he fell. Now we have a group of Americans who say they want one thing but really don’t.

For years homosexuals claimed they wanted civil unions and that would solve everything. It gives full rights but now it’s marriage they want, to be equal, problem is homosexual marriage thru church is forbidden. And I as a minister can not tollorate nor accept it.

Lucifer has infiltrated this age telling the homosexuals they should have full acceptance not equality and that won’t happen. But this is what happens when you mix church and state. Sodom and Gammorah was destroyed for allowing and accepting homosexuality to flourish.

For the record I understand and empathize the state sponsored civil unions for that is secular in nature and is their chosen lifestyle and in America that is their right to be with who they want, and not take away their rights because we don’t agree, you can’t legislate biblical morality! however biblical marriage is not a right! it is between man and woman instituted and sanctified by God.,

So what they have is civil unions which gives secular rights but not biblical acceptance. Their goal that they want is Biblical marriage thus full acceptance by God. And thus the conundrum.

———-update———–

Since I wrote this a lot has changed in the world. What once was unthinkable has now happened. The lgbt movement is steamrolling across the country. But not by popular support, it is judicial overreach that allows it. The days of representation by the people are over, replaced by representation by unelected! 

Civil disagreement is in the past also. Now if you dare to question this juggernaut’s qualification you will be crushed. After the new Macarthyism of the left has destroyed your name, having labeled you a bigot and a homophobe. This from Christiphobic cowards who won’t face you instead they peak over there smart phones to eat a hot pocket before unleashing another virulent onslaught on you. 

God is in control, even when his name is shunned and you get fired for praying to him or telling people however I get time off to go to ERG conferences and in a recent discussion the lgbt was called their friends so conversely were enemies. Come quickly Lord!

Prepare for war

Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people. Amazing how the bible told us this 4000 years ago.  America was a nations that was built on Christian values.  Oh how the founding fathers would look at us now.   In1962, a lady name Madaline Ohare objected to her son being forced to pray in school.  Now, we can not celebrate Christmas, or any Christian holiday or mention God in school.  We are loosing our rights and liberty.  It started with loosing prayer then the floodgates opened.  Abortion in 74, Gay rights, legalized drugs. And so the slippery slope were on.  This country that was the most powerfull and richest on Earth now is bankrupt and heading to a third world status.  Spain, France, England now us.  All had one thing in common, they forgot God.  Dont believe me go to Europe, their massive cathedrals are museums to a by gone time.  

Now we have children killed in school and what do the reporters do, they publish the gun owners names like were pedophiles!  What has happened?  We are bankrupt so what do we do?  Add 300 Billion more in debt? 

God told me last year a war is coming, a war for the soul of this country. Now I am hearing it from all different ministries and prophets. Lets look at the signs.  Our party that is in control is blatently anti Christian, with the planks of unlimited abortions and Homosexual Marriage.  A teenager can not get a asprin in school but can get a abortion with out telling their parents.  What has happened?

Thomas Jefferson is rolling in his grave over this!  We have gone from a nation that freed the slaves to one that makes the free into slaves.  Now they want to take away our protections, I will not let them take my guns.  I fought for my rights and yours and no one will come and ignore the 2nd amendment.  That is the first agenda item, the second is to declare Christians as a hate group, watch and see.  Persecutions are coming soon.  Pray for the upcoming conflict, we will be the enemy because we will not fall over and fight the status quo.  I pray for the leaders to change their hearts before its too late.  I will not back down from the enemy because we must remember, our battle is not against flesh and blood but against the devil and spiritual enemies.  God bless you.

In Jesus
