Which Do You Fear?

Adam was afraid and hide from God because he had sinned. But do we do so when we sin? No! We have become so bold that we do it the light. Some even do it in church and from the Pulpit! Some may do things in the dark, but God sees all, and the dark thinks we do will come to light. Why do we not fear God? We state easily that we love the Lord, but I never hear anyone( Pastor, Evangelist, Pastor or Bishop) say they fear God, and it is stated in scripture more times that I can count. Which do you fear most God, man or death?

I , like everyone else have sinned. I to do not fear God as I should. It hits me to the deepest part of my being that I do not reverence the my Lord God, as I should. I have allowed man and this world to dictate to me whom I should fear.

But I am learning to fear no man, for he can only harm my flesh, but not my spirit. Jesus, died not for this world, but for mankind to inherit the kingdom that can only be obtained by those who live by the spirit that is within. God is spirit. God's Breath that brought Adam to life can only be taken by God, which is the giver and taker of life. So who should you fear God or Man?

Your Spiritual Growth Is In Your Hands

This is going to be very brief. I am going to give you something to think about as it regards religion and the organized church. They are some Churches, Sects, Orders and Denominations that are not interested in your spiritual growth. They are not interested in you growing in faith and spiritual power, just coming to church (for your money) and not learning what you need to do to change your life for the better. We are here for three reasons as I see it: 1) to love God; 2) to love each other; 3) to experience life to the utmost!
The church is not a building, it is you! Religion is enslavement to a physical structure, a deity, a certain denomination and/or sect. God wants you to be free. Jesus wants you to be free. In fact, Jesus, never wanted a religion to be constructed based upon his teachings. Jesus taught that you are the church and you are to love God and each other, nothing more. Read your WORD and learn for yourself. It is true we all need guidance , but we learn through experience, not from what we are shown, taught, preached to, terrorized or brainwashed to believe. Just think about it.
When Jesus said that Peter is the Rock upon which he will build his Church (Matt16:15-17).Jesus was telling them that the statement that Peter said, "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God." These words are the foundation of the Church. What Peter said that showed his faith and belief in who Jesus is, that is the foundation upon which the Church will be built, not Peter himself. The "keys" are faith, love, and knowledge of the word that will give you the kingdom of heaven! I am not trying to change what you believe, only you can do that. I just want you to thing about how "Organized Religion" has "misused" God's word to suit the "needs" of those in power. Check it out for yourself!

Prayer Is Needed

There are a lot of things going on in the world today that I could talk about, but I only see that we are not doing what we can to stop the increase in violence among the young people of this country.

Everyone is concentrating on the economy, but no one is looking at the growing number of crimes among our children and young adults. They are killing each other with no regards or respect for life.

In most cases we are just standing by letting them do it. If you are fearful, lacking faith, or don't know what to do. Pray.

Prayer has the power to change things. Don't get it wrong , it is not going to change over night, but you have to start somewhere. Start with Prayer. The power is going to come when you and I pray together, along with everyone else.

That those that pray the same prayer can change the way life is, into what life can be. It can be peaceful, joyous, happy, prosperous, and wonderful. It all starts with prayer. Just try it, wait and watch what happens.
