So...Why NOT...

Well at church on Christmas Sunday my girls were asked "Did u get everything you wanted today!" and my response was "We don't celebrate the Tradition of Christmas!" and I tell you...I Loved
my sister's response and facial expression..."Do You Mind Sharing?" she asked, with this CLASSIC look on her face...LOL...

My husband and I had decided not to celebrate this tradition last year, although this position had been brought to me a couple years before and I REJECTED it! Well...So although I am clear as to our decision not to celebrate it, the thought of how to explain it to others filled my mind! So this was my first real opportunity to share my reason!

When I got home that night and played the conversation back in my mind I thought to myself, why and the world is it so important to me to have an "explanation" in the first place? There is no explanation Really...Question: "So...Why Not? Why don't you celebrate Christmas?"...Answer: "Because it has nothing to do with Christ!"...End of Answer!

Now here is where the "Possibility" of an "Explanation" can occur...because people desire "Answers & Explanations" to what they don't understand or what they disagree with...but what I learned this same day at church, in over hearing another conversation going on, is that if a person doesn't Recognize, Acknowledge, Believe and Respect the God in a person and in their ability to receive Revelation from God, it doesn't matter what the "explanation is", they WILL NOT Receive from that person!

I'm not sure at what point Jesus was incorporated into the Christmas tradition, nor do I really Care...what I do care about though is the Story in the Bible that says that Gifts were brought to "JESUS" a "KING" whose birth was Prophesied and Fulfilled...So how is it that we believe we are to Exchange gifts with one another? None of us hold the Deity of a King and none of our births were Prophesied as to be the Savior of the World! Note that there were MANY Kings back then but Jesus is a HOLY KING...and the ONLY one worthy of such Gifts! We have it all backwards and then have the nerve to say "We are Honoring/Celebrating the birth of Christ"...HOW...What do we ACTUALLY do for Christ on the day of Christmas...December 25th? Really...Think about it...

The Spirit of "Love", "Peace", "Unity", "Family", "Togetherness" and being kind and helpful to the "Poor & Needy" should be done all year around! We need to STOP taking what is TOLD to us (whether it makes sense or not) and run with it and hold onto it like the law of the Kingdom...we should be honoring Jesus Christ with our lives...Everyday!

Listen and know, I am NOT here to provide THE biblical response...Trust and Believe there are MANY people God gave Revelation with Scripture, declaring why it is not pleasing to God to practice such traditions...GOOGLE it...LOL...What I am saying is as for me and my house Revelation was given and we took heed and made a "CHOICE" not to do it! It's up to you to make a decision to "Want" to know the truth about Christmas and then seek Revelation from God for yourself!

Jesus is Preparing His Remnant...He is tearing down traditions and Fulfilling His Word and He is looking for those who will lay down EVERYTHING and FOLLOW Him! The question then becomes: "What Do You LOVE more...?". Be careful though...Don't hold onto anything too tight because the Word says you will loose it..

(KJV) Matthew 16:25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.

Be reminded that our thoughts are not the Lords and our ways not His either...So be careful what your reject or think of it as "can't be"...This is why Peter got rebuked:

(KJV) Matthew 16:23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.

Shhhhh.....Don't Tell...

Okay..So....I've been thinking........

Why Do MANY people of God "Publicly" and "Brag-A-Doe-She-Ously" Broadcast "WHO" they are in Christ?

So of course many of my thoughts and questions lately have come as a result of my browsing Facebook....I went to someone's page to request friendship and I looked to their info tab...Well it began to speak about them...Saying:

They were an Apostolic, Prophetic, Chief Prelate of the Association of the Bishops of the Scribes of the Temple of the Kingdom....Then it began to read with their Qualifications...Like a Resume...Saying "I can Heal the Sick, I can Drive Out Demons, I can Prophesy with Flawless Accuracy and I can Do All of this and More With Signs and Wonders Following!  Call me for Speaking Engagements"!  Well of course this is an exaggeration but...

WOW......

So then I thought "Following the Leader"...Jesus is Our ULTIMATE Leader...My...Our...Example of how to behave in Ministry....

"{14} Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, PREACHING the gospel of the kingdom of God, {15} And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel." - {Mar 1:14-15 KJV}

This Scripture is telling me that we ARE to go...and Preach the Gospel of the Kingdom of God....Calling all those we come in contact with to Repent...Ok...And if we read further in this chapter of Mark, it further shows me that in our Preaching, we will be met and pursued by those that are sick and in need of healing and those that are bound and afflicted with demonic possession, that we should be FILLED with COMPASSION and by the Power of the Holy Spirit...freeing them...Okay...Got it.....BUT....I also Noticed something else VERY Important....Check it out.......  

(KJV) Mark 1:34 And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and cast out many devils; and [*SUFFERED NOT the devils to speak], [because] they [KNEW him].

*Suffer: v. 2 tolerate or allow

Hmmmmmm....He suffered "NOT"-Didn't ALLOW them 2 speak....WHY.....?   Jesus did NOT want the demons to speak as the Word says...they (the demons) "KNEW" Him!  Hmmm....Here is Another one....

(KJV) Mark 1:25 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, [Hold thy peace], and come out of him.

And What About this one....

"{43} And he straitly charged him, and forthwith sent him away; {44} And saith unto him, [See thou say NOTHING to any MAN:] but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them." - {Mar 1:43-44 KJV}

Why didn't Jesus want people bragging on Him, His Abilities, The Power He possessed from Heaven, being the Son of God....(Thanks to my Brother Pastor Williams for this one-Selah - Pause and think about that One...LOL)


These next Scriptures are definitely FOOD for THOUGHT....

"{45} But he (the man Jesus Healed) went out, and began to publish [it] MUCH, and to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter." - {Mar 1:45 KJV}

and

(KJV) Mark 1:28 And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region round about Galilee.

PEOPLE OF GOD.....I ADMONISH YOU......

Allow Your {Works} to Speak {For You} Let those You Heal, Deliver & Set Free by and through the Power of God, Go forth and Proclaim who {YOU} are In God...Selah....

(KJV) Philippians 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

We are to be like Christ, as He is our Example...He didn't walk about BROADCASTING His Works....He told some NOT to tell {Man} of what He had done...He even Shut up demons from speaking because {THEY} knew who He was and was Speaking of Who He was in public to EVERYONE around. So if we walk around broadcasting {WHO} we are in the Spirit and broadcasting {WHAT} we can do {BY) the Spirit of God...Do we have the {SAME}mind as Christ...Would we be {FAMILIAR} to Jesus? Would He {RECOGNIZE} us as His...

"{22} Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? {23} And then will I profess unto them, [I NEVER KNEW YOU]: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." - {Mat 7:22-23 KJV}

To Say You "Know" a person is to:

1: Have developed a relationship with (someone) through meeting and spending time with them; be familiar or friendly with (Online Dictionary)
2: Recognize (someone or something)

Sooooo...What Would Make Jesus Say......"I NEVER KNEW YOU".....

SELAH... PAUSE... AND THINK ABOUT THAT-Pastor Joseph Williams....

So Let's Talk...

Ok, So...Why is it we have so many "Word Of Mouth CHRISTIANS" but Not Many "LIVE the LIFE CHRIST-ians"?

And Why is it that I see So Many "God is Good" Tweets and Status Updates, followed by Bleep, Bleep, &%#$ and #@@&*^ Bleep Blankety Blank?

Hmmmm...

Then my mind travels to those that say "See...That's Why I don't Go to Church because the Pastor is Stealing all the Money and The People Are So Phony and Deceitful"...

Well what I want to know is....SINCE WHEN HAS "GOD" and "JESUS CHRIST" or the "HOLY SPIRIT" do those things, been involved in that sort of behavior or condone that behavior?  Even those that OPENLY Call themselves "SINNERS" or "BACKSLIDDEN" can tell you in a minute when a "CHRIST-ian" Sins or when a "CHRIST-ian" is behaving in a manner which does not represent Christ according to the parts of the bible they have read or heard about....So Why can't They..."Openly Said Sinners and Backsliders" GRASP the fact that it all boils down to a "PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP" with God...

That is what HE WANTS!  

Hmmmmm......

So...the thing is...God wants YOU....

As it relates to YOU and HIM...He is NOT concerned with the "Wrong Motive & Hidden Agenda Preachers"....Nor is He is concerned with the "Church Members that aren't Living a Surrendered life dedicated for HIM"....He Just Wants YOU...

He wants Your Heart, He wants to Manifest Himself/Reveal Himself/Show Himself to YOU, so HE can Perform HIS Plan and Will THROUGH YOU...So that YOU May be a Witness FOR Him, to the "Wrong Motive & Hidden Agenda Preachers" and to the "Church Members who haven't Submitted their Members to Him"!

"{19} I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, [that] I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: {20} That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, [and] that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he [is] thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them." - {Deu 30:19-20 KJV}

Love You to LIFE, PUSH you to PURPOSE

Are You Living or Are You Dead?

"{3} Blessed [is] he that READETH, and they that HEAR the words of THIS prophecy, and KEEP those things which are written therein: for the time [IS] at hand." - {Rev 1:3 KJV}

I just happened to be scanning the timeline on Twitter and Facebook just a bit ago, not really reading....just scanning!  The only think that kept standing out to me was "Apostle" so and so..."Bishop" so and so...."Prophetic Apostolic Prophet" so and so..."Evangelist" so and so....and the list goes on....

Which is MORE important...the TITLE or the SERVICE of/behind the Title? 

What Does it Really Mean When You Desire People to KNOW who YOU are...Your STATUS in God?

Do You DESIRE that the People See GOD in YOU or the TITLE Preceding YOUR Name?

ARE YOU

"{1} And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I KNOW thy WORKS, that THOU hast a name that thou LIVEST, and Art DEAD." - {Rev 3:1 KJV}

Let us CONTINUALLY be sure to REPENT and EXAMINE ourselves....

"{2} Be watchful, and strengthen the things which REMAIN, that are READY to DIE: for I have not found thy works perfect before God." - {Rev 3:2 KJV}

"{3} Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee. ... 

{6} He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches." - {Rev 3:3, 6 KJV}

You Can ONLY Choose One...Which Will It Be?

You can only choose ONE...Which will it be?

How do you know if your Traveling the road of Faith or the Road of Reason? 

Many of us have been experiencing some CHALLENGING moments. Many of them MORE challenging than the USUAL!  Don't be SURPRISED and think it NOT Strange...God is raising up His End Time Soldiers!  


How is it that You will Know if you are one of His End Time Soldiers?  How will you know which road you are traveling on....

HOW ARE YOU HANDLING it?

Are you Choosing to Follow the Path of REASON and Lean to your own understanding and the World, for Answers...

or

Are you Choosing to Follow the Path of FAITH, Leaning COMPLETELY on the God's Word and UNSEEN Will for Your Life...

"{1} Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." - {Hbr 11:1 KJV}

"{8} I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name. ... {10} Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth." - {Rev 3:8, 10 KJV}

Hold On...Hold On...Hold On...

Children of God...If we CAN'T handle these light Afflictions, How Can we Believe we will be able to Stand in the days to come...

"{18} For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time [are] not worthy [to be compared] with the glory which SHALL be revealed in US." - {Rom 8:18 KJV}

The GLORY of the Lord SHALL be REVEALED in US...Change is Coming...SWIFTLY...

"{13} Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost. {14} And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another." - {Rom 15:13-14 KJV}

In Jesus Name Amen

Your Company...Do You Have One?

Originally Written 5/22/11:

By the Grace & Mercy of God, speak through me Holy Spirit...I heard something today via a YouTube Video (Video Below) that I didn't think twice of.  Then I read a post on Facebook containing a verse in Luke 2 and I decided to read the whole chapter! Well, still not putting 2 & 2 together...in my prayer time, moments ago I was asking the Lord to Endow His Remnant with the attributes that Hezekiah and Moses had that moved God to change His position on His Wrath & Judgement! This then lead me to thoughts of God's Wrath & Judgement.  This then started to stir up a little fear in me, then I began praying for God to give His Remnant the POWER to endure what's coming! Then is when I started putting pieces together (YouTube Video & Luke Chp 2-Look at both)!

Please, I Admonish US to NOT take our Facebook & Twitter time for Granted! Let us begin to make Kingdom Connections NOW (gathering people's info OFF of these Social Sites) as there WILL be a time when we WON'T have ACCESS to them! Let us begin to BUILD (If not already) our "COMPANY"!

Luke 2:44 But they, supposing him to have been in the "COMPANY", went a day's journey; and they sought him among [their] KINSFOLK and ACQUAINTANCE (their COMPANY)!

Why did they travel in a Company? Then I was reminded of a dream I had last night:

In the crowded streets, people shopping and hanging out...Two men ran out passed me, from out of their booths (shops) holding wooden axes...They ran down these two young girls and began to chop them up with their axes (I believe in their neck area) and begin to eat their flesh in broad day light, in the street in front of all those that were shopping... 

I believe we will need our COMPANY for POWER, ANOINTING, PROTECTION & RESOURCES for and in the WORSE case scenarios like in my dream above!

Again...Let us NOT take our INTERNET time for Granted! Let us begin to make KINGDOM CONNECTIONS...NOW because we never know when we will need THEM!

Stay Blessed & Stay Encouraged!
