Pastor Michael Samuels's Blog (75)

Exactly! Don't look shocked because I brought the subject up....smile. The reality is that there are pastors and church leaders pimping many women in the church but the sad thing as that there are more than enough women who are willing to be the church whore. What is a church whore? She is a woman who allows herself to be prostituted by the pastor, deacons or other church leaders within the church but mostly to meet the sexual gratification of visiting ministers.
What do you all think?

Through the years, I have attended many christian services, events and conferences. It greives me deeply when pastors and their leaders call for the infamous money (giving) line. There is first the $1000.00 line, then the $500.00 line and then everybody else who can give a$100.00 or whatever.



First the bible reminds us, let our giving be done in secret. ( The secret place of the heart between the giver and God). Sadly, many people give large sums of money in public events to be seen… Continue

There is so much wrong teaching in the church about giving and blessings. Many people think all they need to do is rub a crystal ball (give $5.00) and presto, a blessing, a miracle or the thing they desire automatically comes out of a machine. God is not Santa Clause, although He is counting who is naughty or nice. During the first year of my pastorate, God stopped my in the alise of the church and said, "Teach Spiritual truth and practical application. That is what I strive to do in all my… Continue

It is sad but many church leaders , including a few pastors do not honor the word, the church or God. I know of several stories where church leaders and yes ministers have had sex in the church. (One in particular was having an affair outside of his marriage and having sex in the church. ) He was found and released from his position.



A good friend of mine who had a previous problem with sex went to her Pastor (uncle) for prayer and to see how she could be delivered. He had a well… Continue

Its sad but to many people are caught up in a title. It appears that their whole person is only identified, recognized and qualified in a title. Many people get bent out of shape if you don't always call them Bishop so and so,, Dr. so and so. What are your thoughts on this and what does the word have to say?

I definitely would love your opinion on the folowing...



Interesting... This morning I sent out an invite to tonight's discussion of the book, Becoming A Millionaire God's Way by Dr. C. Thomas Anderson. I received a response from,I'm sure a sincere brother in the Lord, implying that the pursuit of wealth was of the soul and fleshly. At first, I just shook my head then I have taken some time as to how to respond to this.



It is interesting the many thoughts about wealth in… Continue

Main Thought: Jesus said, " If you have seen me, you have seen the Father". Now, question yourself, when God and others look upon you, what or who do they see? Do they see Jesus who emulated the Father?



Main Scripture(s): Hebrews 11:1 ( Now faith ...) It takes continual faith

2nd Chronicles 7:14 1 Corinthians 13



Supporting Thoughts/Questions/Scripture.....



1. What is the character of God?

2. How was Jesus able to emulate God in the earth?

3. Do… Continue

God has made man spirit, soul and body. He intends that husbands and wives minister to each other in these areas. To often, because many have not been taught how to minister to the whole man, many suffer. The church as a whole has done a poor job of discussing this issue and related issues and we end up having poor and weak marriage relationships.



I was married and divorced in a very short period of time and since my divorce 22 years ago, God has taught me quite a bit about… Continue

It is sad!!! It is so sad that many people in the church want to be entertained rather than empowered. It is even sadder that many Pastors, teachers, preachers in the body of Christ are more than eager to jump to entertain people rather than empower them by teaching truth with being a circus act.



Is that the reason the church is powerless as a whole? Is that the reason you can still have people in the same condition for 10, 20, 30 or 40 years or more? Is that the reason that God has… Continue

Many church leaders cannot go forward in the fullness of God or their God given vision because they fear man rather than God. It is sad that many in the church, (congregations) who claim to know God fail to realize that they are provoking God to anger. (See Numbers chapters 11 -15). It is time to pray that Pastors and those who are called of God will rise up in godly courage and boldness to do what God has placed on all of our hearts regardless of the opinion of man.



What are your… Continue

I know some may be shocked at this question but I am radical in my thought yet purposeful and wisely. There are questions, ideas and thoughts that we have all heard yet are afraid to discuss truthfully and openly. Can there be such a thing as a Christian super freak? What are your thoughts?



I was asked, "What is a Christian SuperFreak?" Here is my thought...



A Christian super freak is a person(s) (married hopefully), who have an almost anything goes sexual mentality even… Continue

Hello brothers and sisters in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.



We are in a season where God is calling everyone to rise and to become all that He desires and has ordained, however ,we are also in a season where God has anointed and appointed Black america, because of its history of slavery, degradation and ridicule by others throughout society and because we, are minimized by the powers that are and worldly demonic systems that rule many in the earth, God wants us to come humbly,… Continue

I'm sitting here watching President Obama speak at the 100th NAACP ceremony. As I sit here, I hear the Lord asking the question, Will you rise? Will you rise now? No more games. No more foolishness. My hand of justice is about to sweep the earth like never before. Will you be ready? My hand of justice is about to sweep the earth like never before. Will you warn my children? There are many in the body of Christ playing games with me thus saith the Lord. I know those who have genuine struggles… Continue

Many years ago, about 15 years, there was much talk about a shifting that was about to start by the hand of God. That was a true and real word. Sometimes it takes a long season before what happens spiritually manifest naturally. Have you ever asked yourself why, wickedness has accelrated and it seems that the greatness of God seems to be lagging or manifesting itself very slowly?



Anytime God speaks a word of what He is about to do, the devil perks up and begins to move in an attempt… Continue

Today and everyday, God is seeking to bless His children. We, however have allowed our own thinking, our schedules, our pride, our friends,family and others to hinder or sabotage us. We must begin to live in and surrender to God and His presence if we are to have increased chances of walking in blessings. There is much confusion about God, His word and How God does things. We must learn to lean more and more on God. God is seeking to teach us how to walk in the KIngdom versus the world system.… Continue
