FAMILY: I have seen SO MUCH STUFF through the years that I'm no longer surprised by the craziness and wariness that I both see and hear from God's people.. BUT, let me tell you something that I KNOW — GOD is ALWAYS redeeming the time, if we let HIM; and, HE will demonstrate HIS heart to recover and restore whenever we become adrift or weary in well doing! I COMMEND the Men and Women of GOD that are STILL STANDING, and refuse to give up when they've messed up, missed it, or meddled in the affairs of men, to the point it has diminished their authority and lessened the impact of their sacred ministry before Christ! Through the years, I've known of many men and women that I've seen operate under heavy anointing's and grace's from The King..But, there are very few that know "how" to capture GOD's heart, more than those that are TRUE WORSHIPPER's and those that really know how to touch GOD through the power of INTERCESSORY P...

In a wealthy home some utensils are made of gold and silver, and some are made of wood and clay. The expensive utensils are used for special occasions, and the cheap ones are for everyday use. If you keep yourself pure, you will be a special utensil for honorable use. Your life will be clean, and you will be ready for the Master to use you for every good work. (2 Timothy 2:20, 21 NLT)  WOW....This is why some of you feel "shelved"! "Every day use" is considered COMMON, and "special use" is for extraordinary vessels! Now, celebrate your "quiet times" in your career or vocation, differently! WS-3 Walter L.

If you are a "love child" of the Lord Jesus Christ, you know the importance of patience and obedience! The scripture teaches that "patience should have its perfect work, that we (God's servants) might be complete and entire, wanting nothing". So, if you have the tendency to have a "wandering heart", God allows the fire of delayed answers and difficult circumstances to cultivate "in you" a degree of resolve and stability that makes you unshakeable during periods of waiting. Experiencing the depth, heighth, length, and width of "that love which surpasses knowledge" must become our sole aim and focus. When you put blinders on to your own potential spiritual compromises, discouragement, and carnality, you shut-off and shut-out the only access the enemy has against you, by simply resting in God's unending love for us! TODAY, you may not "see" any noticeable change in your circumstances! You may even feel a million ...

IN ENGLISH.. "The APA claimed that they made the change because new research showed that most homosexual people were content with their sexual orientation and that, as a group, they appeared to be as well-adjusted as heterosexual people. I suggest, however, that these research findings were simply the APA's face-saver. For centuries, perhaps millennia, homosexual people had clung to their sexual orientation despite the most severe persecution and vilification, including imprisonment and death. Wouldn't this suggest that they were happy with their orientation? Do we need research to confirm this? And, if we do, shouldn't we also need research to confirm that heterosexual people are happy with their orientation? And if poor adjustment is critical to a diagnosis of mental illness, where was the evidence of this that justified making homosexuality a mental illness in the first place? Also, quite noteworthy was the fact that the vote of the membership was by no ...

"Peer Pressure Leads to Shifting Sands In 1970, gay activists protested against the APA convention in San Francisco. These scenes were repeated in 1971, and as people came out of the "closet" and felt empowered politically and socially, the APA directorate became increasingly uncomfortable with their stance. In 1973 the APA's nomenclature task force recommended that homosexuality be declared normal. The trustees were not prepared to go that far, but they did vote to remove homosexuality from the list of mental illnesses by a vote of thirteen to zero, with two abstentions. This decision was confirmed by a vote of the APA membership, and homosexuality was no longer listed in the seventh edition of DSM-II, which was issued in 1974. What's noteworthy about this is that the removal of homosexuality from the list of mental illnesses was not triggered by some scientific breakthrough. There was no new fact or set of facts that stimulated this major change. Rather, ...

What you are permitted both "to hear" and "to see", (spiritually speaking) is a definite indicator and identifier of what you carry for Christ & for HIS Kingdom. Sometimes, the "real burden" is being able to see, but feeling powerless or inadequate to change "it" for the better.. Perhaps, because you've been made to feel that you're criticizing or judging in the past.. Even when you — know yourself, there is neither malice in your heart or judgment upon your mind; you're simply "speaking the truth" as you SEE it! Yes, it is somewhat of a juxtaposition, but we all know when someone's intentions are inflammatory or negative..And, we also know when the truth is cutting to the core of what our so-called "mirrors" somehow don't reveal to us (NOT!); although we just got through looking into them..Right?!? My greatest "service" to GOD's people (NOT feats and exploi...

"The argument that Jesus said nothing about homosexuality in the gospels is misleading and illogical for at least five reasons: The gospels are not more authoritative than those books of the Bible that condemn homosexual behavior. All authors of scripture were inspired by God's Holy Spirit. The gospels are not comprehensive. Some of the Bible's most important teachings—the explanation of spiritual gifts, the priesthood of Christ, the doctrine of humans' old and new nature—appear in other books of the Bible. The gospels do not claim to be a complete account of Jesus's life or teachings. Sections of Jesus's life are not discussed in the gospels, and we cannot be certain that Jesus never spoke about homosexual behavior. Scripture teaches that Jesus kept all the law and affirmed all that the law and the prophets taught. Undoubtedly, this would have included the affirmation of committed, monogamous male-female marriage and an unwavering condemnation of homosex...
