A Specific Purpose

A Specific Purpose

Genesis 2:7 KJV


And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

Isaiah 64:8 NASB

But now, O LORD, You are our Father, We are the clay, and You our potter; And all of us are the work of Your hand.

God formed us into the utensil He needed us to be. He then gave us everything we need to accomplish and live out our purpose. What good employer hires someone and then says get the job done without giving that employee the tools necessary? Our Father is the same way. He does not say be a preacher and not give you the tools. He does not say work at McDonald’s and not give you the tools to be able to do it. God’s Grace is more than enough. No matter what stage you are at in life, God has given us the grace to accomplish what ever it is.

So many wont take a job at a fast food place because they think it is below them. What if there was someone there that was going to sharpen you. God places us where he sees fit. Do not buck God. Trust God. Your faithfulness will lead to big things in every season of your life.

You just never know where and what awesome blessings God has in store at any given time. The one thing we do know is that as we are faithful and trustworthy in the tasks that have been given to us. God will see to that growth and increase comes. Blessings will be poured out on us. You must believe because all things are possible to those who believe. Mark 9:23 And Jesus said to him, "'If You can?' All things are possible to him who believes."

Seek God for your purpose and you will see a clear path that you must take. You will be able to notice when you are veering off the path or when you are off the path. You will have a peace about you when you are walking out your God Given Purpose. If you do not know your purpose, stop what you are doing and seek God for it. Your life will never be the same. 

To Hold A Title

To Hold A Title

What does it mean to hold a title? What does it mean if you do not hold one? A big misconception in today’s mindsets is that we have to have a title to be important. We have to be given power by our boss to do something, or that I am nothing if I do not have a title. Whether in the Body of Christ or at work, there could be nothing more screwed up than that mindset.

So I have a title. What does that mean. One I was diligent in what was given me and I was promoted to that title. Two There was a need to have someone step up and I was picked for it. So does that mean that everyone else I worthless or cannot rise to the occasion because they do not have a title before or after their name? No!

So I don’t have a title. Maybe there is something missing in my life and I need to fix it. Whether it is laziness, lack of drive, or many other things that we do not see happening in our lives. Maybe it is because there is not a need for promotion within the company or ministry. Maybe there is no need for a title.

When I first started the current job I am in I was nothing in the company. We worked a couple days a week, as there was no need for more. We were a small company and only one management position that was filled. We started to grow and have not stopped growing now for almost 6 years, and still we are growing. The second training class came around and the instructors were passing around a paper to be filled out. It was for people wanting to be a team lead. Before we did not need Team leads. Now we were beginning to move into a season of needing team leads. I did not put my name down. Did that stop me from fulfilling the duties that were required? No. As a matter of fact I went above and beyond my job description. 

Who was the first to be picked for a Team Lead position? I was. I had put in the work before the title. I put in work in the local body that I am assigned to. Will I be promoted? Maybe. Is that my goal? No! My goal is to serve and do it to the best of my ability while knowing that the grace of God is on my live. My ability alone is nothing, but with the grace of God I know I can do all things because God has placed it in me to accomplish everything I set out to do (that is the will of God).

On the other hand we have to look at this reversed. So many people get the title and then believe they are now to good to do the little stuff or the hard work stuff. When you hold a title will cleaning a bathroom be below you.  Maybe, it is not your roll but the need arises and there is no one else. Would you answer the call?

Today and from here on out, look at your life and the limits and boundaries that you have set. Do they hinder you from serving like Jesus served while he was on earth? Are you above the little guy so to speak? Lets get in the mindset of servant hood. Let’s get into the mindset that no matter what my title is. Say, I will rise to the occasion and be the man or woman of God that I was created to be.

A Servants Heart

A Servants Heart

Our master/Lord/Savior/God/Everything if on earth today would wash our feet. John 14:12 tells us that if we believe in him we are to do what he does. Does that mean we have to wash peoples feet? No, to a point. What if we need to hold open a door for 30 minutes to let a large group of the elderly into a store? What if you have to clean a toilet at your church or wherever? Jesus was telling us about serving people. You have a title. Doesn’t matter. You don’t have a title. Doesn’t matter. We are to serve others. I was on my way to a Sunday service when I was out of town on a business trip. I felt I needed to get a liter of water when I stopped for gas. I did not feel like drinking water but I did it anyways. As I was stopped at a light, there was a homeless young man on the corner. I felt that pull from the Holy Spirit, but I had no cash on me. Then I heard clearly. Give him the water. That was service. I could have ignored it, but I did not.  I gave him the water. Every service I work the audio board for my church. Do I feel some days like doing nothing and sitting in the pews to just listen to the Word. Yes, I do. But my service is important to me. I serve as Jesus serves.  Do I miss it at times? Yes, but we have to remember that as we hear and then do the work of the Lord we show ourselves trustworthy. The more we have entrusted to us the more responsibility God gives us.  Is that hard work? Yes, but its sweat less by the grace of God. Work on the heart of a servant in you today. Are you going to miss it at times? Possibly, but show yourself to be a servant to God and he will honor you. God will show himself mighty in your life.

John 13:12-17

12After Jesus had washed their feet and put on his outer clothes, he took his place at the table again. Then he asked his disciples, "Do you understand what I've done for you? 13You call me teacher and Lord, and you're right because that's what I am. 14So if I, your Lord and teacher, have washed your feet, you must wash each other's feet. 15I've given you an example that you should follow. 16I can guarantee this truth: Slaves are not superior to their owners, and messengers are not superior to the people who send them. 17If you understand all of this, you are blessed whenever you follow my example. GWT

Acts 2:17-18

17“‘In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions; your old men will dream dreams. 18Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.

Acts 5:12-32

12The apostles were performing many miraculous signs and wonders among the people. And all the believers were meeting regularly at the Temple in the area known as Solomon’s Colonnade. 13But no one else dared to join them, even though all the people had high regard for them. 14Yet more and more people believed and were brought to the Lord—crowds of both men and women. 15As a result of the apostles’ work, sick people were brought out into the streets on beds and mats so that Peter’s shadow might fall across some of them as he went by. 16Crowds came from the villages around Jerusalem, bringing their sick and those possessed by evila spirits, and they were all healed. 17The high priest and his officials, who were Sadducees, were filled with jealousy. 18They arrested the apostles and put them in the public jail. 19But an angel of the Lord came at night, opened the gates of the jail, and brought them out. Then he told them, 20“Go to the Temple and give the people this message of life!” 21So at daybreak the apostles entered the Temple, as they were told, and immediately began teaching. When the high priest and his officials arrived, they convened the high council, the full assembly of the elders of Israel. Then they sent for the apostles to be brought from the jail for trial. 22But when the Temple guards went to the jail, the men were gone. So they returned to the council and reported, 23“The jail was securely locked, with the guards standing outside, but when we opened the gates, no one was there!” 24When the captain of the Temple guard and the leading priests heard this, they were perplexed, wondering where it would all end. 25Then someone arrived with startling news: “The men you put in jail are standing in the Temple, teaching the people!” 26The captain went with his Temple guards and arrested the apostles, but without violence, for they were afraid the people would stone them. 27Then they brought the apostles before the high council, where the high priest confronted them. 28“Didn’t we tell you never again to teach in this man’s name?” he demanded. “Instead, you have filled all Jerusalem with your teaching about him, and you want to make us responsible for his death!”

29But Peter and the apostles replied, “We must obey God rather than any human authority. 30The God of our ancestors raised Jesus from the dead after you killed him by hanging him on a cross. 31Then God put him in the place of honor at his right hand as Prince and Savior. He did this so the people of Israel would repent of their sins and be forgiven. 32We are witnesses of these things and so is the Holy Spirit, who is given by God to those who obey him.”

Acts 6:1-8

The Choosing of the Seven

1In those days when the number of disciples was increasing, the Grecian Jews among them complained against the Hebraic Jews because their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food. 2So the Twelve gathered all the disciples together and said, “It would not be right for us to neglect the ministry of the word of God in order to wait on tables. 3Brothers, choose seven men from among you who are known to be full of the Spirit and wisdom. We will turn this responsibility over to them 4and will give our attention to prayer and the ministry of the word.”

5This proposal pleased the whole group. They chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit; also Philip, Procorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas from Antioch, a convert to Judaism. 6They presented these men to the apostles, who prayed and laid their hands on them.

7So the word of God spread. The number of disciples in Jerusalem increased rapidly, and a large number of priests became obedient to the faith.

Stephen Seized

8Now Stephen, a man full of God’s grace and power, did great wonders and miraculous signs among the people.

Romans 12:1-10

Living Sacrifices

1Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship. 2Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

3For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you. 4Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, 5so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. 6We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man’s gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith. 7If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach; 8if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully.

9Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. 10Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves.

1 Corinthians 12:10

10to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues,a and to still another the interpretation of tongues.b 11All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he gives them to each one, just as he determines.

One Body, Many Parts

12The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts; and though all its parts are many, they form one body. So it is with Christ. 13For we were all baptized byc one Spirit into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.

14Now the body is not made up of one part but of many. 15If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason cease to be part of the body. 16And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason cease to be part of the body. 17If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be? 18But in fact God has arranged the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be. 19If they were all one part, where would the body be? 20As it is, there are many parts, but one body.

21The eye cannot say to the hand, “I don’t need you!” And the head cannot say to the feet, “I don’t need you!” 22On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, 23and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty, 24while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has combined the members of the body and has given greater honor to the parts that lacked it, 25so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. 26If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.

27Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it. 28And in the church God has appointed first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then workers of miracles, also those having gifts of healing, those able to help others, those with gifts of administration, and those speaking in different kinds of tongues. 29Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles? 30Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak in tongues? Do all interpret? 31But eagerly desire the greater gifts.

John 14:12

"I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father.

Confession/The Power of Our Words

Confession/The Power of Our Words

{{Excerpt from

Kennith E. Haggin’s Book

“In Him”

The majority of Christians—though sincere—are weak. This is because they never really dared confess what God's Word says about them. They have never dared confess that they are what the Bible says they are—that they are who the Bible says they are—and that they have what the Bible says they have

Kennith E. Haggin

In Him}}

    The biggest thing for me to take out of this is what are we confessing in our day-to-day lives? Many of us speak the circumstance and situation. Lets look at some examples.

Jack does not have enough money in the bank to pay all the bills. Jack tells his friends and co-workers about his lack. He goes home and worries about his lack. Jack shows his frustration and circumstance to the whole world. That is the wrong thing to be doing.

    I know it is a hard thing to get out of the habit of doing. Think about it though.  Are you going to let satan dictate your life, or are you going to take God at His Word and run with it?  God is a faith God, so if you do not have faith you are not working your part of the covenant with God.

    So now lets look at Jack’s situation from what a man of God would do. Jack in the natural does not have enough money, so you could say he is lacking.  What does the Word of God say?

Philippians 4:19

19 And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

Luke 22:35

Then Jesus asked them, "When I sent you out to preach the Good News and you did not have money, a traveler's bag, or an extra pair of sandals, did you need anything?" "No," they replied.

Proverbs 10:22

The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.

    Jack is facing this situation that in the natural is not good.  In the spiritual world, God says the blessing makes me rich and it adds no sorrow.  God supplies all my needs. Jesus sends me out and I lack nothing.  You may not understand the full aspect of confession but faith comes by hearing and hearing the Word of Christ.

    Jack is fully persuaded that God is his source and that every prayer is yes (2 Corinthians 1:20 For as many as are the promises of God, they all find their Yes [answer] in Him [Christ]. For this reason we also utter the Amen (so be it) to God through Him [in His Person and by His agency] to the glory of God.).  That means that he only speaks the Word.  Does that seem odd at first, yes? Get over yourself and hop on over to the God kind of faith.

    Jack looks at his bank account and speaks exactly what God spoke over his live. Jack says “In Genesis 1:28 I am blessed. I am fruitful and multiple. I replenish the earth and subdue it, and I walk in complete dominion over this earth.  God gave me that authority through Jesus Christ.  Bank account be fruitful and multiple. I give and it shall be given back to me, and my God supplies all my needs according to his riches and glory in Christ Jesus. I am a disciple of Jesus and just as His disciples in Luke 22 had no Lack, I have no lack in any good thing. All of Gods promises to me are yes, Amen.  God’s blessing on my life makes me rich and I have now sorrow in it. I am blessed. In Jesus Name, Amen.”

   That’s confession to a disciple of Christ. Sure we confess our sin to God but not over an over again. We speak it and Jesus our advocate is just to forgive us of all our sins.  Then God the Father throws them in the sea of forgetfulness never to remember them again. Neither should we. Sure we did it. Sure we messed up. Move on and speak the Word of life, love, and wholeness over your life. We have a God to be joyful in. We serve a blessed God who loves us no matter what we have done. Praise Jesus for His goodness.  His mercy endures forever!

    So keep confession in the foremost of your mind.  What kind of confession? The God kind.

Righteousness Is A Position Not A Work

Righteousness Is A Position Not A Work

We are seated at the right hand of the Father.  We are righteous in His eyes.  We are seated there because we are seated with Jesus Christ the Righteous.

Don’t believe it? Lets go to the scriptures.

Colossians 1:22-23-22 

yet He has now reconciled you in His fleshly body through death, in order to present you before Him holy and blameless and beyond reproach— 23 if indeed you continue in the faith firmly established and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the gospel that you have heard, which was proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which I, Paul, was made a minister.

This is talking about our spirit. Remember we are a spirit who has a soul and live in a body. When we accepted Jesus our spirit was reconciled.

Righteousness is a position it is not a work that we do. We do not work to become righteous but once we are righteous we do the righteous works.  So do not get it twisted.  We do not work to get into heaven.  We do not work to be righteous.  If we worked to be righteous then why did Jesus die for us.

2 Corinthians 5:21

He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

Jesus became sin and that made us righteous. 

So many of us think about our past and all the things we have done.  Then we disqualify ourselves from being worthy of God.  We must stop using your own standard and judging our selves of past or present sin.  We have been made the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. Confess it and look at 1 John.

1 John 2:1

My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an [a] Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous;

Jesus is our advocate. An advocate is a person who pleads on someone else's behalf.

Isaiah 43:25

25 “I, even I, am the one who wipes out your transgressions for My own sake, And I will not remember your sins.

Hebrews 8:12

12 “For I will be merciful to their iniquities, and I will remember their sins no more.”

Hebrews 10:17

17 “And their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.”

Isaiah 41:10

‘Do not fear, for I am with you;

Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God.

I will strengthen you, surely I will help you,

Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’

God is our Judge and the Judge says “ I do not recall any sin”. That is our righteousness. We are standing in right standing with God. Righteous means: morally right or justifiable. You have been declared right, just, able to stand before God Holy, blameless, and without a single fault.  Stop looking at your past and beating your self up over it, and move on with what the Word of God says.  It is gone.  We were made new creations in Christ Jesus.

2 Corinthians 5:17

17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.

Ephesians 2:4-7

4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ ( by grace you have been saved), 6 and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

Ephesians 1:18-21

18 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, 19 and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of the strength of His might 20 which He brought about in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, 21 far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come.

Colossians 3:1

3 Therefore if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.

WOW, what a thought we are seated with God and Jesus.  It may be hard to grasp at first.  We must remember this is speaking of our spirit.  We still have to renew our souls.  We see this in the New Testament epistles.

Romans 12:2

2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.

There are many more scriptures to prove this.  The soul is made up of our mind, will, and emotions.  Romans 12:2 tells us that we renew our minds and this then turns into us being able to know the will of God.

Jesus knows we are working on our own renewal process.  Jesus after all is man.  God sent Jesus down to earth to be a man.  Jesus was tested as a man, went through the same temptations, and was tried just like every one of us.  So our righteousness is not based on our soul it is first based on our spirits.  Our spirit is righteous and that in turn makes all of us justified before God.  So if you sin you have an advocate with the Father.

Mark 9:23

23 And Jesus said to him, “ ‘If You can?’ All things are possible to him who believes.”

Hebrews 10:1-2

1 For the Law, since it has only a shadow of the good things to come and not the very form of things, can never, by the same sacrifices which they offer continually year by year, make perfect those who draw near. 2 Otherwise, would they not have ceased to be offered, because the worshipers, having once been cleansed, would no longer have had consciousness of sins?

Hebrews 19-22

19 Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, 20 by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, 21 and since we have a great priest over the house of God, 22 let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water.

Psalm 34:15

The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears are attentive to their cry;

Proverbs 15:29

The Lord is far from the wicked,
    but he hears the prayer of the righteous.

Hebrews 4:16

Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

Matthew 21:22

If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.”

Matthew 7:7-8

7 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.

John 14:12-13

12 Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. 13 And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

1 John 5:14

This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.

So, in closing we must meditate on God’s Word in this area.  We are righteous.  Not from our works but because of the gift of righteousness given from God, in which we enter through the blood of Jesus.  When you read Mark 9:23 and on (from these reading) we see how the father hears us.  This all comes from our believing.  All things are possible for him who believes.  When we believe He hears us then we know that what ever we ask, we will receive. So from now on look at your right standing with God.  Look at yourself from the true position you hold, seated at the right hand of the Father with Jesus Christ.

Confession:

I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.  I am Holy, blameless, and without a single fault.  I renew my mind to the word of God.  I believe the Word of God.  I obey the Word of God.  I do not let my emotions or my past control who I am.  I am the righteousness of God.

Making God a Partner In Your Day

Making God a Partner In Your Day

        There are 1440 minutes in a day to spend with God.  You mean to tell me that I need to spend every minute with God? No, if you do not want to partner with God.  If you want God as a partner, to fellowship with you, then yes! 

{Jesus used this illustration with his disciples to show them that they need to pray all the time and never give up. Luke 18:1 GOD'S WORD® Translation (©1995)}

     Religion has put a huge burden on people and what prayer is.  God does not want your check off the block prayer.  God does not want you to pray the normal prayers and do it out of habit, with no power.  Communication is what God wants.  Communication is prayer.  In my household we are beginning to use the word communication not prayer.  God wants your heart not your words.  The words we speak are to be released with power and authority that has been given by Jesus.  Do not get me wrong God tells us to speak.  We need to speak.  By releasing words, things are established on earth as it is in heaven.

    We normally think of God as some far off in the distance thing.  Jesus is right in side of us.  There is no distance.  I am going to use a parable.  There is a man (worker) and God (CEO).  God calls him into his office and gives the man a task.  The man says, “I am on it”.  He then goes out and accomplishes the task and comes back and says, “hey I did it”.  God tells him “great job on your faithfulness”.  The man leaves and tells God “what ever you need just let me know, and leaves back to his office.  In the building right next door there is a different method going on.  The man has called God to be right in the same office space.  So, God looks up from his desk and says, “Lets get this done”.  The man’s first question is how are we going to do this?  The wisdom is given and they both go out and complete the task.

    Who had the best relationship with God?  God is only as close as we put Him.  When we put distance, there will be distance.  When we draw close, God draws close.  God never intended us to go out on our own and accomplish tasks on our own.  God wants a fellowship with us.  God, who has called you into fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful. 1 Corinthians 1:9 New International Version (©1984)

    We were called to fellowship.  How do we fellowship 1440 minutes a day?  In the book of Joshua 1:8, God tells Joshua to meditate on the Word day and night.  God’s Word is a great way to fellowship. Being still and listening to God. Praying to God or communication with God.  Living an upright and holy life.  Talking with God about tasks and your purpose.  Asking God to be with you on the tasks.  Thanks and Praise along with worship.  These are all great ways to fellowship with God. It has to be yours though.  What one does may not be what God wants from you.  It has to come from your heart not an obligation.

    This is something we develop in.  It does not come in an instant, but if you never start it will never develop.  What makes men and women of God such powerful mean and women?  Their fellowship with God is what has done it.  If you want the power and might, that God has given to you, to work in your life?  It is going to take fellowship with Jesus.  It is going to take you making the decision to be Holy and set apart from the world.  Then you will be a useful utensil for the master’s use. Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from these things, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified, useful to the Master, prepared for every good work. 2 Timothy 2:21 New American Standard Bible (©1995)

The USA Is Founded On God

We are at war, but not with flesh and blood.  We as believers have fallen from the spiritual principals of spiritual warfare.  Look at 2 Kings 6 and Daniel 10.  The battle is in the spirit realm.

Remember that when we talk about Socialism and other terms, I am not talking about a political view but a spirit that brings these things to us to get us away from God.

America is the greatest nation on this planet.  Do not let these Anti-American Americans fool you into believing any thing less.  My pastor brought up a good point, America is the only nation that is founded on God.  God has established His nation and people, but America was founded on God and nothing less.  The 3 branches of government that make one government.  The 3 branches of God that make one God.  Many of our forefathers of the constitution were pastors and preachers of Christianity, not Buddhist and Muslim religions.  Sure they wanted a government that had freedoms but lets not forget that God showed them to make a nation that was free.  God made us free.  There are so many other proofs that show that America was founded on God.  You have to close your eyes and refuse to see that, if you do not believe that fact.  

Right now, look at Greece and other European countries that have adopted a socialist government. They are collapsing because they have put more faith in the government to take care of them than God.  God can take care of us, the government cannot.  The governments are going broke because people believe that the government should be taking care of them. They have been lacking the knowledge of God, people have put there trust in a God that cannot take care of them, and there is a God who is the Almighty God, Powerful and true.  He is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.  When you look into Greece's background they are about 90% Greek Orthodox Christians.  So why is their country collapsing.  They are looking for their government to take care of them.  There God is running out of money and can no longer take care of them the way it once promised it could.

When you look into Daniel 10, an angel came to him and was talking about a war.  The war was not an angel fighting against flesh and blood.  The angel was fighting against principalities and forces of demons. Michael had to step in as the angel said he was fighting for 21 days with no avail.  Michael stepped in and won the battle.  When you read this, it is talking about a prince that was put in charge over the Persian region (modern day Iran).  Not an earthly prince.  A spirit prince of satan's army.

We must remember that we do not war against flesh and blood.  God does not want us fighting each other. We need to get on our faces and war against the spirits of darkness.  God has given us a weapon that is mighty of God for the pulling down of strong holds.  Socialism takes God out of government and replaces God with a president and a government that is to be our source. Lets pray and pull down these strongholds that are forming against America.  America has great presidents and a great government, but they are not meant to be our source.  Lets pray for our government and our president.

People do not believe anymore in the reasons Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed.  They find reasons to believe that it was because of the lack of hospitality but not sexual immortality.  If the men of Sodom wanted to just get to know the angels why did Lot fear for their safety.  Why would Lot have offered his very own daughters instead of the angels.  Sodom was engaging in acts against God.  They had time to repent and change.  They did not want to change and then they were even willing to rape angels.  Men willing and ready to rape men.  People in interviews say that when gay marriage laws came into effect that the skies did not fall and God has not destroyed them even though Christians said it would.  Sodom and Gomorrah were not destroyed right away either.  We need to step up as Disciples of Christ.  Lets not back down from the plans of the devil.  He has no power over us.  Lets pull down the strongholds of Sodom and Gomorrah over America.

Don't just take my word for it.  Ask God for answers on this.  Revelation comes from God.  But most of all America is the greatest nation in the world.  Let's keep it that way.  Lets keep God as our source and our government as the greatest in the world.
