Good afternoon and Happy Saturday. As we continue these teachings in the month of Integration in July based on Isaiah 11:10-12, John 7:6-8 and Acts 11:15-17 in my younger days I would participate in things that may not have been right, I would shake the dice hoping for a 7 or 11 or try to hit my point so that I could take money from opponent(s). I would participate in bullying. I would even try my hand at selling drugs but being a user that did not work. All these things were Illegal Activities in the eyes of the law. We as a people of God have to come out of some of the older practices that once worked and into the newness that is Christ. We have to discontinue being involved in Illegal Activities
As we come into the body of this teaching there are things happening in the world that makes it seem
Illegal Activities are okay. We focus on illegal immigration for those crossing the border but there
are some living here on expired visas. We celebrate the places pot is legal but the money earned cannot be put into any federally insured banks because it is illegal. We find wallets and return what we think we should. We have come to accept certain Illegal Activities and look away at others.
In going to the Word of God for this teaching of Illegal Activities I go to Hebrews 10:1-2. In these verses it tells of how the people of God lived in the law and one of those laws was animal sacrifice.
Year after year believers would do this but still had a conscious to sin. In order to get into the newness of Christ we have to put away things that are not of him. Illegal Activities.
As we continue this teaching of Illegal Activities we go to the Word of God and Hebrews 10:3-4. In these verses it tells of when the people offered these sacrifices that it only reminded them of sin and
that is was never possible for animal blood to take away sins. We as the Body of Christ continue do things in a manner that is not of Christ and these things have to cease. Illegal Activities.
As we come into the end of the Biblical portion of this teaching of Illegal Activities I go to Hebrews 10:5-10. In these verses it speaks of how God sent Jesus into the world to become a living sacrifice
and to cleanse us all of sin. We as the Body of Christ have to know be thankful that God sent Jesus for this purpose and we can all be taken away from Illegal Activities.
In closing this teaching is not an indictment of any person or church organization. It is a reminder that Jesus came to fulfill the law. Our jobs are to Integrate the gospel of Christ to others with the understanding of this. You are going to have some in the world who think that Jesus was not the Messiah and will continue to want to abide by the laws that seem to fit there lifestyle. Their are still some who offer animal sacrifices. Like there are still some who live in the country after their visas expire, some who sell drugs to others and even those who shoot dice on the streets. The are Illegal Activities and will be a hindrance for any one to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, I give God all the glory and honor for this teaching. Please join me on Monday for a teaching that is not as yet named. And join me later today for a teaching from Rhema Word 2.0 called Among the Thorns, Have a great weekend all.
Good morning and Happy Monday. Brand new week. Brand new attitude. The past is the past. The future is unlimited. This past month I was riding with my friend Angela Francis. On this particular day she had to go get her hair done and her friend Roxanne' shop. I had done this numerous times in the past so when I was getting ready to leave I told Angela I was going to the forest preserve to sit and wait as she got her hair done. At the forest preserve I would be able to do two things while I was there. I would be able to think of ideas for my blog, my radio show and my daily postings on Facebook. When you attempt to write you sometimes get writer's block and need to get to a different atmosphere ( Hmmm Writer's Block may be a blog soon LOL ). The other reason I wanted to go to the forest preserve is because it was hot that day and I needed some shade. So as I approached the forest preserve I put on my left turn signal and waited for traffic coming southbound to clear. After
Good morning and Happy Monday. Brand new week. Brand new attitude. The past is the past. The future is unlimited. Growing up we used to love to take pictures. Maybe not myself because I had a self confidence problem, but everywhere you went there was someone taking pictures. In grammar school we took pictures every week. In high school we took them every year. At church we took pictures. In the club we took pictures as a group to show we all went to a party. Most of the pictures we took were with a Polaroid camera which had great quality then. But if you wanted the best pictures you wanted the photographer to take your pictures. This was one of the coolest professions back then because all the ladies who wanted to be models or actresses had to go to the photographer to get that photo to take to the different agencies to show how they look. So in order to get the best quality the photographer had to go someplace where he could get the best results. It was his Dark Room. This is the na
Good morning and Happy Friday. The summer is now beginning and the weather is now reaching its highest temperatures. It has reached a high point of 90's so far in the Chicagoland area and it appears to be nothing in sight to relieve us of these conditions that are almost drought like. As the summer gets ready to start in earnest next week we anticipate the warmest temps of the year after a winter that saw a little snow but the hawk, ( that's what we call the wind in the CHI ) was in full effect. But the sun has been out daily and we need a little moisture in our lives. We expect things to get wet in order for us to not only cool off but to wash away some things and bring a freshness of new things in our lives. The hotness of the weather coincides with the hotness in our lives. We need things to cool off a little bit but need some things to come down so we can enjoy the things in our lives that is promised to us as Christians. We are faithful and trusting in his Word. So as we
