If Your Church Does This...You May Be Getting PIMPED!

1. Manipulating people into financial giving by quoting un-Biblical formulas i.e. if you give a certain amount of money, you will receive

a 100 fold (highest possible) blessing.

2. Money lines i.e. people are placed into lines in front of the

church based on the amount of money they gave ($25, $50, $100) and

certain blessings are pronounced on these individuals with of course

the highest monetary givers receiving the largest… Continue

When Volunteering at a Hospital

Volunteering at a hospital plays an important role in the healing of patients and assisting their families. Serving others is a special gift and hospitals are searching for those who will serve patients in all areas. Volunteering provides the meaningful and rewarding sense of serving others and the community.All hospitals and institutions have rules and regulations primarily to protect the patients and the staff. HIPAA The Health Portability and Accountability Act was enacted by Congress in… Continue

The Five-Fold Christian Ministries International

Dear Fellow Ministers,

Once again, I am inviting you to join me and other Ministers (in the Five-Fold Christian Ministries) for fellowship and for eventual conferences to be held in the five Continents at least once every year, to share God's Vision to each one of us and to protect each other from eventual heresies.

Sadly, I noticed that there's a spirit of "competition" in the BPN groups! It seems that as someone starts a group, others will start their own groups similar… Continue

THE EMERGING GARDEN STORY DOCTRINE IS JUST A FABLE

Dear sister Dawn Davidson,

You said:

“ So are women who are unable to bear children, or women who are unmarried and obediently therefore not bearing children, or even women who are married yet in agreement with their husbands by choice remaining childless, on a fast-track to hell? I mean no disrespect but the question does require an answer. It seems we are left with very few options. And what happens if we marry a man who is unable to give us children? What then, are we… Continue

So Many Are "HIGH" and Lifted Up!

The prophet Isaiah stated in the year king Uzziah died he "saw" the Lord "high" and lifted up.

Why is it that so many of the people of God so "high" and "lifted" up? We have thus allowed our "calls" and gifting which are without repentance to steal away our "true" focus which is Christ Crucified. (amen?)

This is a reason why the sheep are being scattered because it's too much flesh trying to take all of the glory and reverence into these mortal bodies.....

SOMETIMES DEVILS HAVE TO BE CAST OUT

Preparing somebody to receive and maintain their deliverance is very important. This is a basic list of things that you might explain to somebody before you walk them through deliverance. I always like to make sure they understand what is going on, and not feel confused or in darkness over the process of deliverance.

Deliverance is often a process

While deliverance can be a one-time event, it can also be a process. If you don't receive… Continue

Who is Jesus?

Jesus is the central figure of Christianity. He said, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me," (John 14:6). Also, Jesus claimed to be God in flesh. If you compare what God said to Moses in Exodus 3:14 ("And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM”) with what Jesus said in John 8:58 (Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am,"), then you quickly see that Jesus was claiming… Continue

Lying Prophets, Spiritual Calisthenics, and a Whole Lot of Church Goings On?

Lying Prophets, Spiritual Calisthenics, and a Whole Lot of Church Goings On?

I remember a heated argument that I had in the late 80’s with the late Dr. Khallid Abdul Muhammad on a basketball court! Dr. Muhammad (whom I esteemed as one of the 10 greatest orators of all-time) and I were friends up until his………………death!(I won’t comment on what I really think) He respected me for my views on Black Uplift, although he didn’t agree with some of my Christian Stances! He would push to sway… Continue

The Essence of a Man/Woman Conference, is it really all of that?

Come and be elevated and enlightened by men and women who know what the true essence is, and how to make life's journey line up with what God has given you charge to do. Excellent time for Pastors and members to flow in Divine Truth that is appliable to everyday living, with a session of questions and answers that is unlike anything in the Nation. " Truth manifested Revelation on Sept 12th, 2009 in Austin Tx at the Austin Baptist Association Hall. Now you tell me, is this something that is… Continue

The Power Of your Decision

Your decision today will determine where you will be tomorrow. Your thought controls your decision, your decision controls your character, and your character influences your DESTINATION.

Quarantine plans, pork testing and travel warnings issued; new suspected swine flu cases found - WHNT

Others were increasing their screening of pigs and pork imports from the Americas or banning them outright despite health officials' reassurances that it was safe to eat thoroughly cooked pork.

CHRISTANITY IS NOT A CONTEST

In this world we're living in today how many wars must we fight.Just to seek out the Word Of God , it has become a maze of denominational heresy.No longer do we have the old lady from round the way,to tell us when we're doing wrong,she's been ran in the house with the curtains drawn.The church on the corner isn't cool anymore because the one over in the next county has guest speakers,free doughnuts and coffee,and that family that was at the corner church for years.We need roots christians so… Continue

Demons and Our Sex Drive

6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons. (Gen. Chapter 3)

Jesus Came to Set Us Free

Certainly Jesus came to set us free. This is explicit in Jesus' commission that he read from Isaiah 61:1-2:

"The Spirit of the Lord is on me,

because he has anointed me

to preach good news to the poor.

He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners

and recovery of sight for the blind,

to release the oppressed,

to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor." (Luke 4:18-19)

Setting people free from… Continue
