Many of us have a sort of vision God wants us to be. We must be true to the vision whatever it is, and we must try to live up to it, by living the way we believe we should live. We can all believe we have a vision of what God wants us to be like. In all persons there is a good person whom God See's in us, the person we could be and that God would like us to be. But many a person fails to fulfill that promise and God's disappointments must be many.

In his book  >The dreams of my father<  Barack Obama wrote,  if the political winds should turn ugly, I will side with the Muslims. I'm not going to say who is and who isn't a part of the body of Christ, but Christ and Islam don't mix.  Paul said let anyone who preaches another gospel other than the one you've heard from me,  let that one be cursed. []Gal.1:8[]
 The apostasy of the pharisees angered Jesus the most. When Jesus got angry, His anger was usually directed toward the religious falsity and corruption of the pharisees and scribes.  So much so that he actually trashed the Temple in Jerusalem.  Postal?  How would Jesus have reacted to Islam if it had been around in His day with them  Killing infidels and enslaving women as property etc. That would include the Jews and Jesus was a Jew. I know what He wouldn't do.  He would not have turned His head away saying too bad so sad and go on His way.  Jesus and Islam would have collided head on.  That much we know, and God never changes. Our President says jihadist are not a part of Islam.  But jihad is all over the pages of the koran.  Jihad IS Islam and Islam is jihad. You can't separate the two and call yourself a Muslim as The President seems to think.  The truth is the moderate Muslims are real  Muslims, and so are the jihadist, in fact the jihadist are more muslim than the others.  You can call "Moderate Muslims" what you want; Posers, backsliders, whatever, but what they both have in common is their allegiance to Mohammad. They both accept the  koran as their bible.  Try and picture someone in the Hells Angels saying, I don't rape and fight and do drugs like a lot of the other Hells Angels do.  But that line of thinking doesn't work,  he's still a Hells Angel.  He's still wearing the patch that identifies him as one and the same with all the other Hells Angels that do the things they do whether they all engage in that behavior or not. He can't say, the bikers that fight, party, steal  and do drugs aren't the real Hells Angels. It's a part of their "Koran" (Code) and in biker language that means you don't talk about those things with anyone who's not a member of the club. When Barack Obama says He'll side with the Muslims if the political winds change, he's telling you who he is. This is what happens when the church refuses to wake up and get informed about who their leaders really are and what they believe, and what their values are etc. Judgement begins in the house of the Lord,  and there's no doubt in my mind God is judging the church in America today. The good news is there ARE churches right now in 2015 that The Holy Spirit is working in. One of them is Bishop T.D. Jakes (2015)  No that's not a miss print, you read it right. Bishop T.D. Jakes Sunday services are on cue with the Holy Spirit most Sunday's. He doesn't invite God into the service. The Holy Spirit invites him into the service. That's the feeling I get when I'm watching him on line sometimes. And I"m sure there are still pockets of churches in other places that the Spirit is moving in. No matter what our president says or does with this country concerning Islam, we have the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob with us. We have the Father Son, and Holy Ghost with us. We have a remnant still active in this country and that's enough to restart the growth of God's Kingdom anywhere, any time, anyhow. We can't forget who we are. We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us.  We can do more than we imagine or think. We're lights in a dark world that are suppose to get brighter, not dimmer. And we will because of who's with us.    

I gave  $25.00 to the potters house ministry with Bishop T.D. Jakes last week. I know it's not much but I gave it anyway because it's good soil,  the man is saved,  and he speaks my language.  every Sunday His sermons speak to me in one way or another.  He can bring a tear to my eye, or step on my toes or what ever.  I can relate to 85% of his sermons every Sunday.  I'm not talking about one or two Sundays,  I'm talking about months.   I'm either crazy, or God is behind this crazy thing. I'm not going to go into the M.O. God uses  to Yay, or Nay something. But this Sunday He gave me three of them. They were all Yes and amen.
If I lived in Dallas I'd be a member of his church.  There are no churches up here that lift up Jesus and preach like he does.   In fact, Nobody preaches like him. I ran into him on you tube a year ago and said to myself, this man was born to preach.  Preaching has never been my thing,  but I've always admired preachers that can preach like that.  Their gifted no doubt.  His message today was good soil verses bad soil.  I don't know if the soil I'm in is good or bad.  But I do know I'm not growing like I should be. I'm not using what I have as well as I could be. I've been knocking, and knocking on doors that never open. I even wrote a book And shared bits and pieces of it on twitter & my blog hoping someone might be interested in helping me get it into the right hands to better me financially and better enviorment and someone stole it and copyrighted in her name or someone Else's name.  I don't know which or what was stolen from the book , but now It's all chopped up with missing pieces that could be anywhere in the story.  she did this with pride and congratulated herself on being a slick criminal woman who takes advantage of people. ( Those are her words, not mine ) The hate I had for this faux Christian was tearing me up inside. God took care of it the last time she tried to destroy me. And I surrendered it to Him. I even unblocked her on my twitter account. She's muted but she doesn't know that. She's in God's hands.  She threw a monkey wrench into my best opportunity and thought she finally put a stake through my heart......and it failed again.  She doesn't have to tell me what kind of soil she's in. Her actions say it all. There are no 'criminal Christians in the body of Christ.  The soil she's in is bad soil anyway you slice it.  It's Bad Soil!  I don't want to end up like that. I don't want to look back at my life and say where did I go wrong?  God knows me.  He knows I'll do whatever it takes to stay in good soil and to be in a good environment.  I've got to find the weeds and pull them up. And if that doesn't help I've got to move.  Plant what I've got somewhere else.

You have to be careful when you hear testimonies of people who have died and come back to life.
I believe the secular people who have died and come back to life when they say their experience was good on the other side.
And I believe them when they say they felt unconditional love and they were met by a being of light and guided to a beautiful place where they met their loved ones. I'm not doubting they experienced that.
But this doesn't necessarily mean they stay there forever and that they won't be judged for their lives sometime in the future. Remember the parable of the wedding feast Jesus taught? When the King came in to look at the guests, He saw a man who wasn't wearing a wedding garment and questioned him.
When the man had no answer, he was bound and cast out from the wedding. >Matt. 22: 12-14<
Jesus is saying, there will be people inside the Kingdom Wedding who will be removed. Could these people be the secular people who have died rejecting Christ?  I don't know. I don't claim to understand the ways and means of God's judgement.  But I do know the word of God is true. And I believe what it teaches us and warns us about.  We can't accept the experience of people who've died and come back to life to be the final destination for all of us. If the devil comes as an angel of light, how are we to know and recognize what's true and what's not? We know by weighing the information against the word of God. We're not lost sheep without a Shepperd here trying to guess our best with what we hear and see as being true or false. Jesus is the Word of God. The way, the truth, and the Life.  Heaven and earth will pass away. But the word of God will never pass away.

I'm just going to say this because it needs to be said. This whole idea about forgetting your past and moving forward or staying in a positive state of mind and avoiding any negative energy or people is not how Christians are suppose to live their lives. I'm just passing on the instructions that were given to us by Jesus Christ that still hold true today.  Jesus didn't come for the healthy, He came for the broken, the lost and hurting people (People with negative energy) >Luke 5:31<
  How and when did this new age "energy " life style or belief  find it's way into the Body of Christ?   If someone is telling you Jesus Christ or the Holy Spirit is in that stuff their lying to you.  If you want to serve and grow in the Kingdom of God, You have go and do what Christ did. You have to pickup your cross and follow Him. Any negative energy someone has in them has to bow to the Holy Spirit inside you. Everybody has their own limit and dedication of surrender they'll give to Christ but here's what people forget---> God is pleased by how much faith and obedience we have toward Him.  Not our nicey nice and Mr. and Mrs. Church and their volunteer work. That stuff is needed and important. Very important, but it's not what God wants most from us. It's our faith and obedience. It's so simple it goes over most peoples head. The Just shall live by FAITH not good works. I try to be nice and kind with people, but don't keep stepping on my toes. I'm  human too. And God gets angry too. If people can't get along with me it's because their not trying to. Despite our flaws God still works through us by our Faith, not how sweet and kind we are.
 Faith comes by hearing, and hearing from the word of God. One day a week the church comes together to be reminded of who and what we are in Christ. How to seek first the Kingdom of God. How to grow in righteousness and Holiness. How to forgive your enemies and walk in love. Who Jesus Christ is. And last not least how to grow in faith. everything else can wait outside for 2 hours. And the only energy we should be concerned about is the energy and power we get from the Holy Spirit.  God works in mysterious ways.    

There are too many problems with the church today that you don't know where to start. One of them is how sanitized the church has become. Nobodies honest with each other. There's no room for problems or pain and if you're not cheerful 24/7 stay out of the church, it's negative energy and we're not about that in 2015.  Lets be honest, the face you bring to church on Sunday isn't the same person you live with the rest of the week. You can shake your head and say I'm wrong but that won't change a thing. Either you truly don't see the denial your living in, or you do and your denying it. Either way THAT'S Toxic energy.  The church today isn't for the suffering.  Jesus clearly said anyone who wants to be my disciple, let him take up his cross DAILY and follow me. Sounds to me like Jesus is telling his followers we're going to have some kind of a cross until the day we die. That's not today's Christianity. Today's Christianity says don't be sad or confused or angry or mad, if someone sins against you just ignore it and forgive them, don't rock the boat and follow what everybody else is doing. Christians don't read their bibles today. God doesn't work through robots. the people He chooses to work through are human beings that still know what it means to be human, their not afraid to admit their undone. They don't live in a fantasy land and pretend like everything is perfect. And if they get pushed hard enough they'll call you out like Jesus did. Christians today don't want to admit Jesus got into it with people.  And if they do the subject is changed right away. He even resorted to name calling if you pushed Him the right way on the right day. >Matt. 23:13-33<  Names like hypocrite, Snake, Fools, Blind guilds, and children from Lucifer. When Jesus like John the Baptist said how can you escape the coming hell fire They were in affect saying.....your going to hell. That's not today's church. Today's church is do not offend. Don't rock the boat. Do not Step on anyones toes. Like when Jesus went postal in the Temple and started throwing money around, tipping over tables? God is Love and here comes love rockin the boat, steppin on toes and offending people. Until Christian start rocking the boat, offending people and stepping on toes the church is going to stay right in the middle of this spiritual drought. Why are people so afraid of offending someone today. The people who aren't afraid are those that don't have an image to live up to and don't have to live up to and what other people expect them to, those people are free to say what they want to say which is what Jesus expects us to do. Jesus wasn't P.C.  He was just the opposite.  Keep your eye on the prize-----> Heaven!  

The United States isn't mentioned in the book of Revelations. It's as tho God is giving us a chance to live in the freedom of His word, or Big brother Caesars.  It wasn't just the Jews who conspired to put Jesus to death,  it was the Government of Rome too.  Caesar declared he was king over all,  Roman or Jew.  Anyone who said otherwise would be put to death.  Jesus was preaching there was another king (God) over the heavens and the earth Including Caesar. Today 'Ceazar' our Government is slowly stealing power from us and making it illegal for the church to preach Jesus Christ as the King of Kings again. The Government wants to be your king and lord it over you, me, and any other American including our Military.  Today Military chaplains cannot pray in the name of Jesus or use His name in any public form.  They can't have a bible or a cross or a picture of Jesus Christ on their desk. As Christians we believe there's power in that name and there IS.  If you make it illegal to pray in Jesus name then how are the soldiers going to know who or what your praying to?  Buddha?  Allah? the Jews? The Government has taken away the Chaplains right to practice their faith with the men their serving with in the time of battle or State side.  men want to know that someones got their back and will be praying for them if they get wounded. They want to know that the faith they were baptized in as a child will be the faith they go out with as a man.  If you look at old pictures of the soldiers before they went off to stop Hitler you'll see large groups of men listening to their chaplain encouraging them, giving them hope or receiving Holy communion. Today it's against the law for ANYONE to have a bible on their work desk,  a picture of Jesus or wear a cross around their neck in any Government building. Yesterday a man in California was arrested for reading a bible in a public park and this is happening more and more.  We became a country because men wanted the freedom to practice their religion without the Government breathing down their neck and being arrested if they did. That's what and who we are (Were) as a Nation.  The Caesars today say their christian yet celebrates gay marriage and light up the white house with the gay rainbow colors while Christian genocide continues to go on in the middle East with hardly a peep from them. You don't see any street corner preachers anymore because they know they'll be arrested if they do. Our faith has been under attack and everybody is afraid to say anything because it's not politically correct and they might be attacked.  So what? I've been attacked many times and I'm still here.  Is that where we're headed as a country?  Afraid to let people know who we are as Christians because of the PC police?  There have been a few,  but outside of Franklin Graham I haven't heard anyone speaking out against what's happening in the middle East or to our religions freedom.  This country has no Billy Grahams anymore.  The devil knows a good thing when he sees one and he's been working overtime. We have to save the religious freedom we have left.  I feel like God is telling us today, right now that He's trying to help us. It's not too late. People have to remember our God is king over Caesar today just as He was in Jesus time. When peter and John were arrested for preaching in the name of Jesus they were warned to never preach in that name again, and they answered them by saying, who are we going to obey,  God? or you? Who are WE going to obey, God, or Caesar?  Men make laws. God over rules them.  He over rules them through me and you.  If the Government stripped our chaplains right to pray in the of name Jesus,  that means they can do it to you too.  We have to wake up and realize what we're letting slip right through our fingers.  We can do this. We can change America back to a Christian friendly country.  God's Spirit is beginning to move and where the Spirit of the Lord is there is freedom.  With God ALL things are possible.   >Matt. 19:26<
