Broken Together?

Imagine a glass that you are trying to drink out of but can't because there is a crack in it, and the water is slowly leaking out. You keep refilling it but the water does not stay in it. This is the plight of every relationship that tries to drink out of a vessel that can't hold water. It leaves the other person thirsty, and frustrated. What if instead of being broken together we were filled, and whole? How wonderful it would be to drink out of the overflow of each other's life!

There is a beautiful song by Casting Crowns called "Broken Together." As I was pondering the meaning of what it meant to be broken together I realized that to be broken in a relationship is a very dangerous thing to be. In our brokenness, we often hurt the ones we love from a place of woundedness. We don't mean to but our hearts and souls can be so damaged that we find ourselves protecting ourselves from any perceived attack. Without even thinking about it we can use the most vicious weapons to fight off the threat. Suddenly the person we love becomes the ex-boyfriend, ex-husband, ex-wife, ex-girlfriend, mother or father that hurt us. We take out the weapons of intimidation, fear, rejection, silence, running, and anything else that will stop the pain from reoccurring. Before we know it we are reacting, and not responding anymore. We get caught up in a vicious cycle of defending and attacking. It soon becomes an all-out war. What happened to love?

The devil wastes no time in capitalizing on the lies, and injuries of both parties. The devil delights that the warriors who were meant to take him down are now focused on each other instead of him. The bible warns us, "But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest you be consumed by one another!" Galatians 5:15 Before you know it both parties are so injured that now the devil can take them out. 

What can we do?

You need to heal. Don't rush God's work. Take time with the Father to go into the deepest hurts of your heart. Don't be afraid. He's gentle but you need to be brave. As human beings, we run from going to the dentist or doctor for fear of pain. Yet it is the very thing we need to do so we can get better. Any injury or wound that becomes infected can take us out. This is true spiritually. Delays in treating symptoms, and flare-ups can take you out. I've had dear friends go to be with Jesus early because they did not check out the symptoms they were experiencing and died an early death as a result.

Be humble: The church is filled with hurting Christians who refuse to be authentic and transparent about the things they are experiencing. They hide behind God. Trying to make everyone think they are okay or they get so preoccupied with the ministry that the problem just grows worse. I've done it. God wants a healthy person more than he wants you to minister for him. The world will be okay if you take the time to take care of yourself.

Time to detox: The best way to detox spiritually is forgiveness, and releasing others that have offended you. Jesus warned us that offense would be the number one thing that would take Christians out in the last days. "And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. But he who endures to the end shall be saved." Matthew 24:10-13   

Put the past behind you: We all do this. We obsess about the "what ifs." We can't change what has happened and we can't allow an event to define us. We can't allow our behavior to cause us to believe that we are beyond redemption. What we believe about ourselves determines our behavior. Our identity is in Christ. We have his DNA, and we don't have to succumb to patterns or habits that we were raised with. 

Embrace truth: Lies are all the devil has to defeat us with. Spend time in God's Word. Embrace what he says about you, and your situation. Stop listening to the lies in your head. Here's the truth: There is no hole too deep or too dark where the love of God and His light can't reach you. 

Walk in love: In everyone's life, we must make a decision to love even if it is at a distance. Love must dominate our words and actions. It is not a feeling. It is a command! Your feelings will catch up. Grace enables us. Remember you become like the person you hang out with the most. Love is the work of the Holy Spirit being poured into our hearts. We must spend time in His presence to become like love itself. If we walk in the spirit, the oil of his presence will make it impossible for the enemy to get a grip on us. It is an essential oil.

Finally, understand that we are all undergoing the process of sanctification. None of us can become like Jesus overnight. This takes much time, and if you feel like you are beyond help, please realize that with God all things are possible. He loves you. He is in the business of restoration, and reconciliation. There are many times that we will fail but that does not make us failures. There are many times that we will sin but that does not make us sinners. For a righteous man may fall seven times And rise again, But the wicked shall fall by calamity. Proverbs 24:16 Just get up and Jesus will dust you off. He's waiting.

Is the bible divinely inspired or is it idolatry? My answer to Michael Dowd.

Question: What are your thoughts on this? I am curious, in the bible does it say that it was divinely inspired?

Answer: Yes. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)

Why People Burn Out On Ministry

    I was looking today for a way to become fully ordained outside of making payments to an organization. I have worked in church for the last five years as a lay minister or assistant pastor. I ran across this website for burned out Pastors and started reading these sad stories. Wow. I think that many of us have gotten ministry confused with the Kingdom of God. The Kingdom of God is not the kingdom of men. Many ministries are just part of the machine that builds the kingdoms of men. This is what sucks the life out of the pastor and congregation. God’s kingdom is not a place here on earth. It is a place in men’s hearts where God has set up His throne and is made Lord over our lives.

    Matthew 4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”   The Kingdom is within our reach all of the time.  Also, we can see from scripture that the Kingdom is demonstrated in power, “And as you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ 8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.” Matthew 10:7-8 Therefore, God’s Kingdom is mobile and transferable.

The problem here is that our eyes come off of doing the above and the focus shifts to building projects, raising money, programs, advertising instead of protecting the presence of God in our lives. We stop seeking His Kingdom and His righteousness first. We get careless with our salvation because now we stop being concerned about our standards and allowing things to slip by us by making small compromises in our faith.  Holiness gets thrown to the wayside as we focus more on service, recognition and position in church.  Our passion to be right with God gets diminished in light of people’s admiration of our gifts and talents.  The next thing we know, our Christian example has become a mockery before the world. This should not be.

     The ministry is not really the problem it is our heart. More specifically the attitudes and motives of our hearts that have been polluted by our need to be recognized and admired. The gospel message becomes laced with covetousness and greed.  It is our ill financial planning that causes many ministers to start to manipulate people from the pulpit. The next thing you know you are threatening people by telling them that God will curse them if they do not give. This is legalism and extortion my friends. Especially if you feel like you are entitled to indulge yourself on the hard earned money of God's people. We are not entitled to anything! You will not find anywhere in Jesus ministry where he demanded a salary from his followers.  On the other hand if you have the means and are withholding  money from God's harvesters then you will have to explain why you built bigger barns instead of sending people into the harvest fields of souls. Jesus was not hung up on titles. He made his life and ministry about serving others. He went about setting people free, healing them and forgiving them.  He did not sit at an office taking calls. He demonstrated the kingdom and lived his life as an example.

     "Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken"; "let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame." Hebrews 12:1-2 If you have found any of the above wrong attitudes and motives in your heart I encourage to repent and come back to the true ministry of Christ. If you are under a ministry that is has lost its way I encourage you to build His Kingdom instead of building men's kingdoms. May the Lord guide you by the Spirit of Truth and help you find the true ministry of Christ.

How To Stop Spiritual Attack!

If you are struggling spiritually and are under attack please follow the instructions below. Understand that Jesus fought temptation by speaking God's written Word to combat the enemy's lies.
We must do the same!
First know you are under attack. Symptoms include:

1. A lack of desire to read the Word, Pray, Worship and Attend Church
2. You feel weak and you have lost that cutting edge.
3. You feel like retreating and doing nothing for God.
4. You feel like isolating yourself
5. You spend your time upset and worried
6. You get edgy and irritable. You are no longer walking in the Spirit.
7. You start blaming others for what’s going on in your life
8. You start murmuring and complaining to God for what’s happening

Causes of an attack can come from:

1. You are causing too much trouble to the kingdom of darkness or you are a threat to the devil. Listen to me, some of you are taking spiritual attacks way too personal. You are made in the image of God. That's enough to make the devil mad. He hates you because every time he looks at you he's reminded of his defeat. I have found that the people who are under attack the most in their lives are the ones who carry a greater call. For some of them, the moment they were conceived started a battle for their soul. It's like the devil knew which ones would become a threat to him. In the times of Moses, the devil inspired Pharoah to slay all the children under two years old. The devil was after Moses but Yahweh had another plan. In the days of Jesus, the same thing happened when he inspired Herod to kill babies. Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men. (Matthew 2:16) Which leads me to believe that abortion is the devil's way of killing God's anointed. God forgive us all for allowing this mass genocide to continue for years!

2. You are compromising in your walk with God therefore giving the devil legal access. The devil is opportunistic in nature. The bible tells us to: Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour. (1 Peter 5:8) Ever watched a nature show? Lions prey on the weak, sick, young, and animals that are separated from the herd. The Bible describes the devil as a thief. A thief comes when you are unsuspecting. He also looks for a way in. We need to know the nature and ways of our enemy so we can war accordingly. The Bible calls him a liar. Check your thought life. That's the most common way in. You may be compromising in your thought life by allowing thoughts of hatred, envy, lust, and self-righteousness to affect your attitudes toward others. You also may be believing lies. Compare what you believe to God's Word or truth.

3. You have been playing instead of praying. You have been entertaining or indulging the flesh too much. I heard a Pastor say this a long time ago and it's true. Your flesh is crazy. If you would let it run your life, you would be eating all day, sleeping all day, watching TV all day and a myriad of other things that indulge it. Don't coddle (treat in an indulgent or overprotective way) your flesh when your under attack. That means you force yourself to press into God even if you don't feel like it. For me, TV is my kryptonite. I get to watching one show and it's not enough. I have to see what's going to happen next. I can become quite addicted to TV quickly. I was raised around it. You need to know your limits or what's going to stumble you back into unfruitful and fleshly behavior. I like what I heard a preacher teach the other day. He was saying that right before we fall into sin there's a little lie that comes into our mind that makes us believe that we can handle the temptation. Which causes us to put our trust in the flesh instead of God's grace to deliver us from sin. Big mistake! We also may believe that we are too weak to say no. Another lie! For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. Romans 6:14
Distractions are another way of coming under attack because we are not watching and praying. Maybe you are not indulging your flesh but perhaps you are not feeding your spirit because of distractions. Maybe Facebook is your distraction or some other social media outlet. Remember distraction and fleshly indulgence is the opposite of being sober or vigilant!

4. You are walking with someone who is living in compromise putting yourself in the line of fire. Maybe you aren't the one who is giving the devil access but someone you are in a relationship with or living with is. Believe it or not, they can cause you heartache just by having them around. I will call this the Achan principle. Achan was a man who took some things from the enemy's camp and hid them in his tent when the children of Israel were commanded not to. Joshua did not know why they were so severely defeated by the enemy until God tells him. And the Lord said unto Joshua, Get thee up; wherefore liest thou thus upon thy face? 11 Israel hath sinned, and they have also transgressed my covenant which I commanded them: for they have even taken of the accursed thing, and have also stolen, and dissembled also, and they have put it even among their own stuff. 12 Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies, but turned their backs before their enemies, because they were accursed: neither will I be with you any more, except ye destroy the accursed from among you.
(Joshua 7:10-12) If you read the whole chapter you'll find out that Achan caused defeat in the lives of those around him because of his idolatry and sin.

Another example is Jonah. Everyone in the boat came under a storm because of Jonah's disobedience to God. They literally had to throw him out of the boat into the ocean to calm the storm. That's when the fish swallowed him. Jonah's confession: And he said unto them, Take me up, and cast me forth into the sea; so shall the sea be calm unto you: for I know that for my sake this great tempest is upon you. (Jonah 1:12)
5. You have disobeyed the last thing God told you and now you have lost your way. I think one of the most shocking stories in the Bible is the one about the young prophet who was sent to prophesy to King Jeroboam regarding the rulership of King Josiah. He was told not to go anywhere except where Yahweh told him. Even though he was determined to obey Yahweh He obeyed the older prophet over the Word of the Lord. The older prophet convinced him to disobey by lying to him and claiming that an angel spoke to him contradicting Yahweh's instructions to him. Paul warns us by saying, But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. (Galatians 1:8) This is another principle. You don't obey man over Yahweh, that puts you in the devil's territory! It may seem unfair but disobedience still has the same consequences whether you were tricked or not. Here's the older prophet rebuking the younger one after he had lied. Now he prophesies truth after he lied!... and he cried out to the man of God who came from Judah, saying, “Thus says the Lord: ‘Because you have disobeyed the word of the Lord, and have not kept the commandment which the Lord your God commanded you, 22 but you came back, ate bread, and drank water in the place of which the Lordsaid to you, “Eat no bread and drink no water,” your corpse shall not come to the tomb of your fathers.’” 23 So it was, after he had eaten bread and after he had drunk, that he saddled the donkey for him, the prophet whom he had brought back. 24 When he was gone, a lion met him on the road and killed him. And his corpse was thrown on the road, and the donkey stood by it. The lion also stood by the corpse. 25 And there, men passed by and saw the corpse thrown on the road, and the lion standing by the corpse. Then they went and told it in the city where the old prophet dwelt. (1 Kings 13:21-26)

This is why Jesus said, "Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God!" The young prophet took the bait and was devoured by the lion(devil) Listen to me saint, you don't obey anyone over God's Word or the Holy Spirit! It doesn't matter who they are. You can not obey your spouse, child, friends, parents, or even a minister over Yahweh! 6. Sometimes the devil is going to call you out to see if you really believe what you say. He did this to Job. He did it to David and he'll do it to you. Look at the story of David and Goliath. David took Goliath down because he knew who Yahweh was. David put his confidence in the strength of his commander and chief! Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied. 46 This day will the Lord deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.
47 And all this assembly shall know that the Lord saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the Lord's, and he will give you into our hands. (1 Samuel 17:45-47) Amen! When the devil comes all suit it up and tries to intimidate you remember who is fighting your battles! Again do not take spiritual warfare personally. At times there are uniform attacks against the body so it’s not just you. It’s all believers. Think of all the times the Philistines were attacking Israel. Listen to me, the devil comes to take territory. Sometimes you need to defend your territory! Whether it be your family, marriage, finances, business, ministry, health, salvation or whatever else Yahweh has given you. Do not crumple up in a corner and feel sorry for yourself because the devil will not have pity. He'll kick you when you're down. Understand? He won't stop attacking or take a break just because you feel too weak to fight. Cry out to Yahweh and He'll protect you. Regroup, get strengthened, and get up to fight! You got this.

7. Soul wounds are entryways for attack. I have an expression I like to use. There's blood in the water. Sounds strange but I'm referring to blood in the water that attracts sharks. In the wild predatory animals are attracted to blood. The devil is a predatory entity. What I mean by soul wounds are wounds inflicted on our hearts that affect our identity. Making us believe that we are not who God says we are. That's exactly what the devil did to get Adam and Eve to have them relinquish their authority over to him. He made them question Yahweh's goodness and question their identity.

Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?”

2 And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; 3 but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.’” 4 Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. 5 For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” (Genesis 3:1-4) First, the devil comes in by questioning God's Word, "Has indeed God said?" Then he questions his goodness by saying, "For God knows that in that day you eat of it your eyes will be opened..." as if to say Yahweh is withholding His goodness from you. Then the devil brought their identity into question when he said, "You will be like God" when they already were in His image. Once he seduces us to sin he brings our soul under shame, guilt, and condemnation which separates us from Yahweh and makes us run from him instead of to Him.
The saying that sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me...is the biggest fallacy ever believed. It's what we believe through people's words inspired by the devil's lies that bring the most destruction into our lives. The bible says, Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. (Proverbs 18:21) Yahweh admonishes us to Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. (Proverbs 4:23) If you want to keep the devil out of this area of your life take the big stick called the cross and beat the devil over the head with it. Declare God's truth and scripture over yourself. Ask the Holy Spirit to heal your heart. Remember the devil is a liar!

8. Number 1 way to live in torment as a Christian is not forgiving someone. I put it last so that hopefully if anything stands out it will be this principle. Jesus tells this story about a man whose debt was forgiven but he then turned around and demanded that his debt be paid. Jesus said, "Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee? 34 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him. 35 So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
(Matthew 18:25) I want you to understand that the devil has the legal right to torment you if you stay in the sin of unforgiveness. This includes keeping grudges, resentment, slander, and gossip. I can't tell you all the times I've tried ministering to someone and I've felt this invisible block wall that kept any of my prayers from penetrating. I would ask them, "Is there anyone that you need to forgive?" The answer was always yes. The moment they released the other person from their debt or trespass, what they were requesting from God was now released over them. Forgiveness opens the heavens and unforgiveness closes them.


9. Anger is the devil's habitation! If you want the devil to come live with you then allow anger to fester in your heart. Go to sleep without settling the matter and think about the injustice all night until you are boiling over. Then instead of trusting Yahweh to handle it or do justice on your behalf; take matters into your own hands. This is how anger progresses into sin.
Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: 27 Neither give place to the devil. (Ephesians 4:26-27) This word place means habitation in the Greek. Just like Yahweh inhabits our praises the devil inhabits our anger. Your invitation to anger will lead to sin and spiritual attack! Close the door by Agreeing with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. (Matthew 5:25)
How to stop an attack and win the battle

1. Feed your spirit!
"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." (Colossians 3:16)

2. Don’t isolate yourself get around those who are on fire for God!
"Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching." (Hebrews 10:25)

3. Fasting! Example: Food, Entertainment, Social Media, Friends, and etc. Get alone with God. "However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.” (Matthew 17:21)

4. Repent if you have compromised and stop sinning. It closes the doors to the devil! Make full confession of your sins. Look at Galatians 5:19-21 for help. “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!” (Matthew 3:2) If you want heaven's help repent!

5. Pray! "Pray without ceasing!" (1 Thessalonians 5:17) It doesn't matter if you don't feel like you are qualified. "Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months." (James 5:17) If you do not know what to pray then pray the Psalms.

6. Worship Him! Depression is a spirit called heaviness so put on the garment of praise! It will leave you through worship. To console those who mourn in Zion, To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; (Isaiah 61:3)

7. Get godly counsel and wisdom. Where there is no counsel, the people fall; But in the multitude of counselors there is safety. (Proverbs 11:14)

8. Submit to God and humble yourself; resist the devil and he will flee.
(James 4:6-8) Humility or meekness will protect us but pride will cause our destruction. Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall. (Proverbs 16:18) Our obedience or submission closes all access to the devil! Obey or submit to God's authority even if you don't feel like it.

9. Speak the Word of Yahweh over every circumstance!
So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;
It shall not return to Me void,
But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it. (Isaiah 55:11)

Prayer:
Father, I humbly come before you, I submit my will to you and ask you to forgive me if I have sinned against you. I repent and take responsibility for all those whom I have hurt. Show me where I need to make restitution. Lord, I forgive those who have hurt me and pray for those who have despitefully used me. I repent of every generational iniquity in my bloodline that has corrupted my family and me such as the sins of adultery (pornography), fornication (sex outside of marriage), sorcery (drugs), pride, self-righteousness, contention (argumentive), contempt (looking down on others), jealousy, unbelief, drunkenness (all forms of intoxication), covetousness, divination, necromancy (talking to the dead), idolatry, uncleanness, hatred, reviling (abusive speech), lust, perversion, satanism, and heresy.

I pray that every assignment from hell would be canceled against my life, ministry, marriage, family, and purpose or your plans for my life. I break off, take the authority over and command all demonic spirits of anger, rage, fear, depression, unbelief, destruction, torment, guilt, bondage, vagabond, rejection, unforgiveness, lust, perversion, jealousy, offense, bitterness, mind-control, double-mindedness, confusion, passivity, stubbornness, sickness, diseases, pain, fetter and all addictions to food, alcohol, drugs, sex, pornography, gambling, or nicotine and any Spirit of Jezebel, Santa Muerte, Vodoo, Masonry, an anti-Christ Spirit or Spirit of this Age to come out in the name of Jesus out of (name the person or yourself).


I break all curses off my family, marriage, children, and relatives. I break every shackle, chain, cord, habit, craving, debt, soul-ties, and any spirit that has tried to rob, kill, or destroy my life. I command my family to be set free to know Jesus! Satan, I command you to loose them now! In Jesus’ name! Come out of your captivity. According to Galatians 3:13, Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law. Therefore, I declare that every curse is broken over my loved ones and myself. I declare that my family sees God’s mighty outpouring in my life and they are moved to respond to God’s conviction. For me and my household shall be saved!

I declare that I'm walking revival of God's presence. Whenever I’m around people are being convicted of righteousness, sin, and judgment. The love of God draws them and moves them to surrender fully to God. Scores of angels surround me and protect my life, home, cars, health, family from any attack of the enemy. There is a ripple effect that my life is causing that will cause others to do the same until this nation returns to God with humility and power. I declare that I'm part of Yahweh's kingdom and that we are walking in unity, love, humility, holiness, hunger, transparency, and power. We will not think twice about laying our lives down for God’s kingdom. Father, I pray that every false teacher, preacher, and prophet would be removed from their pulpits. That deception and delusion would be broken over the church. I pray that the spirit of lawlessness, rebellion, and compromise will be removed from every heart. God cleansed the temple once again and made it a place of consecration and glory. Let every lie of the enemy be exposed that has taken God's people into captivity. May every doctrine of devils be uprooted from every place in the land. Let your remnant arise in the land taking back every territory for God!

We pray that the enemies of America and their strongholds be destroyed by the mighty name of Yeshua. We declare that this nation is returning to the godly precepts that it was founded on and will be called a Christian nation again. We declare that every idol, false religion, and stronghold of unbelief is broken over America. We speak that our troops are supernaturally protected as we come under God’s blessing now and walk in obedience to God’s Word. Father your word declares that the heart of the King is like a river and you determine its course…I pray that every leader or person of position in this nation will be moved to worship the one and only true God; Elohim. Whatever you must do to break the anti-Christ spirit, spirit of this age, and Jezebel's control over our government, this nation, and in your people so that we may be a godly testimony among the nations please do it. I humbly ask you for all of these things in Jesus' name, Amen.

Are You An Angry Prophet?

For every natural disaster we have seen, there is always that one person that makes God out to be a homicidal maniac and tells everyone that He meant to judge the nation through disaster. I am sorry but Jesus paid a great price so that ALL could be saved. Why would God send something so horrific that it would take the lives of children? I am not saying that God does not send judgment because it is obvious that He does from reading the story of Noah but...He always sets in place a rescue plan. Even Sodom and Gomorrah had a shot at God's mercy through Abraham's intercession. So, if God always has a rescue plan then where is it some might ask? My friends only look in the mirror and inside a church. The rescuers are sitting comfortably on the pews every Sunday, deafened to the cries of the broken because of their judgmental attitudes. Yes, my friends we are the spiritual rescue team looking for survivors under deep piles of religious doctrine, blind from the dirt of sin, groping around in the darkness and looking for shelter from the storm. What is sad about these attitudes that are seen in some Christians is that they are actually reinforcing the beliefs that many atheists have. I have heard this from many of them they believe that God is some kind of bully and homicidal maniac. Yes, I know they say they don't believe in God but most of them are just offended with the idea that God would kill innocent people. They mostly cite Old Testament scriptures to support this idea. Then to hear Christians confirm to them what they already believe about God is sickening. Some of us run around like angry prophets and to our chagrin it is the very reason the grace movement has gained so much momentum. They got sick of the angry prophets making profits from their pockets; using the commandments of men to manipulate people to do their bidding.

Then we see Jesus. He is confronted with a decision to stone a person caught in the act of sin. There she is awaiting her punishment that she so justly deserves. She was probably trying to cover herself up the best she could and looking away in shame. Then Jesus passed his sentence, "He who has no sin throw the first stone." With no accusers left to condemn her, Jesus just let her go with this exhortation, "Go and sin no more." What a relief she must have felt when she heard those words. She could now be free to love God without fear. Mercy had triumphed over justice.


As I saw the most current natural disaster unfold, the Lord led me to read the book of Jonah. We often dismiss this book as a children's story with little or no relevance to our adult lives. However, we couldn't be more wrong. Jonah hears the call of God to go to the city of Nineveh and warn them. ¹ Now the word of the LORD came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, ² “Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry out against it; for their wickedness has come up before Me.” ³ But Jonah arose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD....Jonah 1:1-3

Many of us don't understand why Jonah was avoiding his commission to rescue those living in a depraved city. What people don't understand is that Jonah had a biased view of the people of Nineveh. He refused  preach to them. If you read 2 Kings 19 you will find out that Nineveh was the city of the Assyrians. They were Israel's enemies and were often at war with them. Nineveh was built by Noah's grandson Cush, son of Ham. Genesis 10:8-12 They were long distant relatives who over the course of time had become quite wicked and God was fed up with their sin. Jonah's disobedience of course causes problems for everyone on the ship he is fleeing on and finally they toss him out of the boat he gets swallowed by a fish to be spit out on the shores of...you guessed it Nineveh. God has a very persuasive way about Him doesn't He? Lesson for all of us is this: Our disobedience not only affects us but everyone around us.

Jonah finally relents warns Nineveh and to his surprise his enemies repent! Jonah 3:10 Then God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God relented from the disaster that He had said He would bring upon them, and He did not do it.
Now Jonah is angry because really deep down he was secretly wanting to see the destruction of his enemies. How can God have mercy on such a perverse and wicked people? Jonah then explains why he didn't want to go to Nineveh in the first place. "I know that You are a gracious and merciful God, slow to anger and abundant in loving kindness, One who relents from doing harm" Jonah 4:2 Wow! Jonah knew that if preached his message that there was a possibility that Nineveh would repent and be spared. Instead of rejoicing Jonah sulks all day in anger.

So that Jonah could see things from God's perspective he raises a plant that shelters Jonah then dies over night. Jonah of course is sad that the plant died as it no longer was there to provide shelter for him; so God uses it to explain his heart to him. ¹⁰ But the LORD said, “You have had pity on the plant for which you have not labored, nor made it grow, which came up in a night and perished in a night. ¹¹ And should I not pity Nineveh, that great city, in which are more than one hundred and twenty thousand persons who cannot discern between their right hand and their left—and much livestock?” Jonah 4:10-11

After reading the story of Jonah I realized that many of us have an angry prophet attitude. Some of us are like the disciples that Jesus exhorted long ago when they wanted to call fire down on their enemies. Jesus rebuked them when he said, "You know not what spirit you are of." The truth is many of us secretly wish for our enemies to be destroyed rather than to see them saved and delivered from destruction. Our bias towards certain groups keep us from reaching them. We often think well "they deserve what's coming to them." I think we forget sometimes where we have come from. Some of the people we see in church today were some of the people we look down upon now. In reference to our world now; many of us would rather see the end of the world rather than preaching repentance to our nation so that God would relent from His anger. This Jonah complex keep us from interceding for the lost and preaching the messages that would have them turn from their wickedness. Some of us have no concern for the lost because we are already going to heaven so we feel that our job is done here. Worse, some of us are so convinced that we will not go into the tribulation that we have not prepared ourselves or bothered to prepare the people who will stand before the Judgment seat of God. This is a selfish attitude. This is not God's heart. We need to have Jesus' heart.

Let us pray: Father forgive us for being angry prophets and having bias in our hearts. For disobeying the call to go into the highways and byways. For allowing our anger towards certain groups; to keep us from reaching them for you. We choose to forgive those who have come against our nation, who are being used by the devil and those who are in authority who are pushing the agendas of Satan. We choose to pray for those who are hurting us God. Please reveal our hearts and remove any attitudes that our contrary to the love of Christ. We pray that you would relent in your anger towards our nation for turning away from you. We pray that our nation would return to it's Godly heritage. Give us a plan for reaching those we don't understand and that perhaps we fear. Help us see those around us the way you see them. Holy Spirit shed the love of God in our hearts, in Jesus name. Amen.
