Lying about our tithes and offerings: how to avoid sneaking out into the folly of false money giving

Do you ever feel like you are robbing God?

In Acts 5, we read about a married couple, Ananias and Sapphira who conspired to deceive God with their tithe and offering by lying about what they vowed to give. Peter was the first person to address him, and at his words, they both fall down, dead.

When we give to God, we need to be honest about our resources.

Here is an arctic regarding churches and tithing even though it completely takes away from what I am trying to communicate to you. 

Will you be honest about you ministry and money today?

Acts 5:1-11 NIV

[1] Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece of property. [2] With his wife's full knowledge he kept back part of the money for himself, but brought the rest and put it at the apostles' feet. [3] Then Peter said, "Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land? [4] Didn't it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn't the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied just to human beings but to God." [5] When Ananias heard this, he fell down and died. And great fear seized all who heard what had happened. [6] Then some young men came forward, wrapped up his body, and carried him out and buried him. [7] About three hours later his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. [8] Peter asked her, "Tell me, is this the price you and Ananias got for the land?" "Yes," she said, "that is the price." [9] Peter said to her, "How could you conspire to test the Spirit of the Lord? Listen! The feet of the men who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out also." [10] At that moment she fell down at his feet and died. Then the young men came in and, finding her dead, carried her out and buried her beside her husband. [11] Great fear seized the whole church and all who heard about these events.

Thank you Jesus Christ for praying for us

Yes I will give you praise. This song is amazing and is always stuck in my head.
Hope your day goes well.
Blessings!

Racial Issues within Grounds of the Church: A few biblical responses to Evangelical Versus Cultural Teachings

Why do you come at me in the Church with racial issues about the fact that I am an Evangelist?? 

What would Jesus say about this issue? He would tell us to be at peace with one another, instead of intersecting white versus black evangelicals. 

What I don’t get is why are we Christinas so hustle towards race when it comes to Evangelism? 

Jesus NEVER criticized his followers no matter their race, color agenda or region. Why should we “black people?”

I stand against ALL racist Evangellical standards and the like. It’s just not right in our Lord’s eyes. 

No more needs to be said. I pray we come into an agreement. 

Thank you for reading!

God bless!
P.S. Please note that I am not being Evangelical Racist in this post. 

Thank you to all who are constantly alert in prayer: We need it!

Please pray for my best friend! 

Blessings!

Discipleship Pathway of lIfe: How One outside country's severe persecution can outwit all of our prayers

We need to grow in our faith and FAST!! As the early disciples noted, in Acts of the Apostles, we need to keep spreading God's word, but, we also need to keep feeding our brothers and sisters and caring for their needs above our own.
in other news, my writer makes a good point about our Father's will. So, what are you waiting for?

Pray for all our countries that are facing persecution around our planet!

Go ahead, I triple DARE you!

Blessings!

Jesus and the true reality of our struggles in life: How one sermon can change the course of your life

What does a mature Christian look like in the faith?  What does reading the bible look like as a believer in the Lord? 

How do we read the Bible aloud to ourselves or to others in our sphere of influence? 

I pray you live in remembrance  the life planned out for you from your beginning of the creation of the world. 

Jesus loves you and so do I! 

Blessings!

What One Life can do damage to: You tell me when should I vote for our president!

I am NOT posting my opinion on this live issue, but I am very clear on one thing and that is that our president needs our prayers! I just think we need to get our heads on straight whether we vote in the 2020 elections or not! 

On the other hand, murder within city limits continues to make its way into our country. But, my questioning comes down to this: What will it fully take for our country to resist the evil one (James 4:7, cf, Romans 12:19) 

Where has this world gone? God only knows. 

Have a great weekend!

Blessings!

What America needs to know about Elections this year: How to biblically respond to our reelections this coming year: Two website responses

Why, oh why? Can’t we all just spiritually get along? Jesus is coming back soon anyway? Is he?  What does this have to do our president’s affairs of office? Hmmm. I wonder...

Another thing too, is that most of us argue over silly things like this. 

Why does it matter who runs the country as long as they do there job? 

I pray that this is a wonderful lesson for all you who read this!

Blessings!

Seeking Omens and seeking Bethel church: when seeking any of these, Seek the Lord Jesus first and Him alone!

My mom does destiny readings: oh joy!
From my view: 2 Timothy 2:14-26 NIV
[14] Keep reminding God's people of these things. Warn them before God against quarreling about words; it is of no value, and only ruins those who listen. [15] Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth. [16] Avoid godless chatter, because those who indulge in it will become more and more ungodly. [17] Their teaching will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus, [18] who have departed from the truth. They say that the resurrection has already taken place, and they destroy the faith of some. [19] Nevertheless, God's solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness.” [20] In a large house there are articles not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some are for special purposes and some for common use. [21] Those who cleanse themselves from the latter will be instruments for special purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work. [22] Flee the evil desires of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. [23] Don't have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels. [24] And the Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful. [25] Opponents must be gently instructed, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth, [26] and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will.

2 Timothy 4:1-5 NIV

[1] In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I give you this charge: [2] Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage---with great patience and careful instruction. [3] For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. [4] They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. [5] But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry.

Don’t do them if you do destiny readings. Leviticus 19:26 NIV

[26] “ 'Do not eat any meat with the blood still in it. “ 'Do not practice divination or seek omens. Exodus 22:18 NIV

[18] “Do not allow a sorceress to live.
Leviticus 19:31 NIV
[31] “ 'Do not turn to mediums or seek out spiritists, for you will be defiled by them. I am the Lord your God.

Be careful about who you let into your ministry.

Mass shootings over the weekend: How one act of violence can change the reality of our lives and turn our hearts and minds towards this Savior

This is unbelievable that someone would do this wicked act! A Christian article should provide more sources and information.
And we all think we are living in the end times. Hmmm. Welcome to the river of God! Find your healing and your freedom in this river! I am grateful for this ministry and how they share events and news like this. Praise God!
Aside from much worse or better things that could have happened over the weekend, I am grateful that I have the privilege and blessing and honor to share with you my heart.
Take care and blessings!

Turning our hearts and minds towards Christian Living: How to Avoid just say rather then say and do

Sometimes I wonder if God notices all the hard work I do. And then I have to remember that God always does!
Recently, I spoke with a friend who told me right from wrong about my faith versus my actions based on my beliefs.

I was stunned and I asked God to examine my heart and motives for any areas that do not line up with Him. He did!

I am not going to go into detail, but He performed spiritual surgery on my heart and mind! Ouch! That hurt!

Here's my point:
We can say we are Christians and live out what we believe while we preach the gospel, or we can preach the gospel, say what we believe, but not live out the truth. James 1:21-22
It's more than memorizing scripture and owning a thousand bibles! It's Living the Dream!

So like the miracle in Cana of Jesus turning water into wine. People were admired by what He did, but scripture records that He would not entrust his work to people because he knew their hearts!

People's opinions come and go, but we need to seek ONLY God's approval. God's opinion and perspective never changes! Ours does!

So, what are you waiting for? Go out into the world of work and show what Christ is all about!

Don't just say you are a Christian, do it! Act on it NOW!

Blessings!

Check out Jeremy Camp’s song, The Amswer before reading this post, please

A wise woman once said never to be afraid of greatness.
Almost one year ago, my mom and brother, were supposedly supposed to be evicted from their home.
So, I prayed with a bunch of other saints, and by the estimated date, nobody moved!
It was the book of Esther that was my anchor. Plus fasting from a meal, particularly lunch, for about five days.
It ripped my curtain of prayer from top to bottom , but for this precious soul that needed Christ in her life, the landlord that is, it was WORTH IT!
Pray with me for Mrs. Emily!
Thank you!
Blessings!
