Perceptions are ideas which transmit images or word pictures that become thoughts. Once the thought is put into action, with continued conscious or unconscious behavior, a belief system is established, which eventually becomes a lifestyle choice! Being “led by the Spirit” then pertains to an active-conscious agreement with God that shields the individual from contrary action, which is evident through works of the flesh. The flesh = carnal nature without God! See Galatians 5:16-26 (Below) “16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.  19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, s...

Today, 99% of our world's biggest threats and crises exists due to the pervasive " leadership vacuums " that have become so prevalent in every field and societal-center of influence. Although, we've curiously asked ourselves 'why', all too often we've ambitiously pursued "greatness" - without first embracing the fundamental process that shapes us into becoming great and effective leaders worth following. " Judging ourselves " before rushing to assume these important roles and assignments, then becomes most critical in the self-check and heart-purification that will generally expose "the masquerade" that often parades itself as "leadership"; but is simply "followership with a title" and "a tickling-ear message" that incites others to blindly follow, without being proven, perfected, or polished by His loving hands and presence. But, sadly, we've quickly laid blame or made many tired excuses...

I'm praying for some people in my life right now, who I know have very little leeway for negotiating with God through their blatant disobedience and fairweather followership , as if their doing God a favor by following Him! This delusional arrogance is satanic and destructive, and will reveal itself first through unrepentant obstinance - followed by self-righteous justifications and deflections . The enemy knows that our influence may be the only life-line to keep their soul from hell-fire, but we're only responsible for obeying what He's told us to do! We are in some extremely dangerous times , spiritually speaking, and some of the diabolical influences we've entertained for too many years, will now be permitted to dominate our lives without us completely surrendering to Christ! If they have the attitude, "not me", but are living in a place of compromise to truth, PRAY !  HELL is REAL!   WS-3

Family : We must LEARN not to prematurely commit to anyone or anything between the obligatory commitments or promises we make out of pressure to "change our season", or based upon the sensual wisdom that misleads our hearts - because we don't explicitly trust in God ! The repeated cycles that we've all traversed is tied to our own words that are "stout against us", which keeps us duly "bound" to alliances and relationships with corruptible influences that we faintly discern are wrong for us. How come we can't see it for what it is? Our "blindness" is our correction , and until we get tired of the rollercoaster ride of defeat and disappointment - we will stay tied to "fruit dying on the vine" . Shift NOW before it's too late!

IN HIS PRESENCE the Word of the Lord came to me: My heart is heavy tonight, as I've been hearing a recurring warning from the Spirit of God about this region, and the current "state of affairs" that is unacceptable to God! Southern California is so beautiful, and the "free and easy" spirit is so contagious - even amongst the saints of God... But, there is coming a reckoning. This is NOT doom and gloom, and at this point - I sense... it has both spiritual and natural implications. Is God going to SEND destruction to this land? Absolutely, not! But, He doesn't send anyone to HELL either , but people are still going! What should we do, if you're hearing the same thing? " 2 Chronicles 7:14 " is the remedy that may stay the hand of the "full" backlash coming to this region for this willful negligence, prideful disobedience, and disunity that is like a stench amongst the Christian community in Los Angeles and surround...

My vision for the Jewish future, as an African-American Christian, who formerly worked every day in the Jewish community, may NOT be much different than yours...!  "Vision" inherently references the 'bigger picture' of what our perception and perspective allows us to "see" and "be". Hopefully, with a goal of playing a key role in helping to bring the vision of all of our hearts to pass; my contribution as an "outsider" in certain respects - does not limit the impact of my intentional investment amongst Jews! I'm sure you're wondering, 'How could this be?'...'You're NOT Jewish?'  Well - my connection to the Jewish world is founded in my early upbringing, but more importantly in the historical significance of Jewishness, upon my life, the world abroad - and in the life of every true Christian that honors TORAH, the Prophets, etc. - and, Jesus Christ - Our Messiah! When I envision "community" fr...

"Transparency through public repentance" must be modeled in the near future for the embarrassing scourge of many Christian leaders to be used by God as a healing agency in the universal Family of God! As an image-conscious generation, we've swallowed the pill of self-importance and popularity without immediate consequence; so we think God has winked at the blaring dysfunction and fleshliness in our midst! Well, Pastor, 'What about God restoring those leaders?' I am SO glad that you asked me that question! When, and if, they decide to confess their faults to the multitudes that have been affected by their actions - God will HEAL and RESTORE , whoever that leader may be! By the way, that's the reason so many leaders "Can't get the people past their mistake"! It's STILL news! SELAH . WS-3
