ENCOURAGEMENT: "Lack" is not having a NEED, but no SOURCE of supply to meet it! Some of you feel at a gross disadvantage, because God is using different people to sustain you - but you're getting all kinds of nasty attitudes and inappropriate statements "with" every gift they give... "Do not eat the bread of a miser, Nor desire his delicacies;  For as he thinks in his heart, so  is  he. "Eat and drink!"  he says to you, But his heart is not with you.  The morsel you have eaten, you will vomit up, And waste your pleasant words." (Proverbs 23:6-8 NKJV) WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?  Pastor: Is this saying, don't accept their gifts or hospitality? NO - this is saying don't BOW in your heart, as if YOUR ONLY SOURCE (Jesus Christ) is subject to their darkened hearts and wrong spirit about giving! They are NOT doing God a favor! The EARTH is the Lord's... The silver and the gold is HIS... ...

"BLACK HEBREWS: WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT NOW?" My brother and friend Andre' Taylor is one of the most profoundly anointed people that I know, due to his especially "peculiar intelligence" and "outspoken delivery" that makes "the complacent", uncomfortable - and "the uncommitted", squirm (Lol); and its no coincidence that he's allowing himself to be a mouthpiece for one of the areas of "restorative justice" that is in the Mind of God, but must be strategically laid out so that every opposing voice and force that comes against it -- is both corrected and defeated where it stands! And, over the past year or so, I've also watched he and others communicate more and more about the subject of "Black Hebrews" (or "Lost Tribes") and to be honest with you, I've not had a hard time believing or entertaining some of the information - at all!Because, I have known of the growing evidence ...

"Law-based Obedience" (Old Covenant Rules) is much different than "Love-based Obedience" (New Covenant Realities), but to understand the great distinction between them both, is to first "lose your life for HIS (Jesus Christ) sake"! No matter how long you and I walk with The Lord, our "strengthening faith" and "deepening trust" is all about "Jesus becoming Lord". HE doesn't become "Lord" because we believe or say that HE is; HE is, period! Over time, we give HIM "place" in EVERY area of our lives, and HE is able to fully influence and lead us to the degree that we allow HIM too, which is actually what "Lordship" is. "Lordship" is defined then, as God's government established in the life of a believer, without "lease terms", restrictions or rationalizations of any kind. So, "loving and making HIM Lord" isn't duty-free affection - it...

I believe that there isn't a more beneficial, effectual, and supernatural place or disposition to be "settled in", than where Christian Liberty — God's Way,  is not activated and realized through the life of a believer!   As a matter of fact, the place of our greatest fruitfulness is also tied to this state, and guarantees a level of reward and blessing that is actually humanly impossible apart from Him!  As bondage represents the exact opposite disposition, the burdensome restraint and darkness that follows it is enough to choose a different path to steer clear of the trouble that follows the absolute slavery associated with it. I understand the "T-Totalers" that have had such a dark experience with evil, generational curses, personal battles, and the disturbance and antagonism of the forces of darkness strongly against their life, they cannot passively ignore, mishandle or show an openness towards ANYTHING questionable and potentially sinful, but ...

It's FALSE HOPE to believe that you can legislate heart conditions or morality in society, but the principles within legislation can have biblical values represented, as long as the "right of conscience" and free moral agency is NOT violated by perverted forms of judicial tyranny, or by muscling consent from corrupt activist's claims or well-meaning advocacy efforts run-a-muck!  "The Church" must have a representative voice, but NOT from a law-based approach to "reforming society". Our influence should be felt by: 1) Making Disciples; 2) Being Examples; and 3) Abiding in Christ till death! WS-3 Walter L.

Yesterday, while I was addressing a Brother-in-Christ and a friend's inquiry about my support of President Donald J. Trump in this upcoming election for the "twentieth time" - literally, I realized something that should be fairly obvious and well known... I actively have a BIBLICAL WORLDVIEW that encompasses every area and aspect of my BELIEFS, LIFE, FAMILY, RELATIONHIPS, and VALUES, but that's NOT necessarily the same as other Christians! Well, "how" is that possible? Think about it this way — If 1/3 of the pie demonstrates a "weighted influence" on the whole pie (3/3) the remaining 2/3 of the pie has the predominate influence, if the weight of the material substance or makeup is the same. Example: 1/3 (bible) + 1/3 (church) vs 1/3 (partying) SOME CHRISTIANS believe that their "partying" every once and a while does NOT "outweigh" their "bible reading" and "church attendance", so...

YA KNOW..The presupposition, predisposition and preoccupation of PEOPLE "with themselves" is crazy!! Meaning — "their job", "their person", and "their agenda" is absolutely FUNNY to watch; if your also a PEOPLE-WATCHER like me.. I mean, REALLY.. Folks are SO TRANSACTIONAL nowadays that they don't have "time" to show —COURTESY, KINDNESS or CONCERN about anyone else.. Just their deadline, timeline or "raggedy project"..Lol I'm over here sounding like my Granny Bertha, as I write this post!! Lol.. SUPER IMPORTANT PEOPLE: If you're having to "hold it up", "make it happen", "labor to the point of exhaustion", or "neglect everyone important to you for the 'all-mini dollar'" — STOP for a moment, get out of the rat race, and REMEMBER, YOU and I cannot "take it to the grave"! #EndOfSoapbox #YourNotThatImportant #WontMatterAfterItsOver WS-3 ...
