Good Morning everyone from Hawaii to all of the world. I am so glad I can reach so many across this planet. The Church does not sell anything or give things away, we are some of the few that just teach the bread of life, and we want our Sunday services to help as many people all across the world. We also give much prayer for so many people that need prayer so desperately. The church prayer ministry was a lot more active then it is now with me lying on my back., and the frustration that I can’t communicate with many brothers and sisters, has hurt me but in about 2 more weeks I will be able to sit for longer periods of time. God has opened the heavens with different rewards this week with so many blessings as we approach the sermon in more detail, you will see that God truly is in control, no matter what Satan and his agents can cause with all sorts of havoc and fear and pain and complications. I am not going to put up with it anymore. What I do want to say is why we should even be slightly moved by a defeated foe. Our Lord Jesus has already defeated the evil one, and holds the keys of heaven and hell in His hands never to be taken away. There are new days ahead with peace and tender tranquility. Our aim at The Church Ministries is not only saving souls with just the sinner’s prayer, what our plan is for people to see the power of the Holy Spirit demonstrating the full power of people getting healed in malls, the streets, in gas stations, supermarkets and most everywhere in our town of Hilo, Hawaii. Since the apostles went around and performed healings through our Jesus Christ of Nazareth, just imagine when people actually heal in front of so many witnesses, this will bring a heavy attention to all people, and they all will want to be saved. I feel this revival coming, I feel it all about to happen, this way we could all reach the masses, better than just witnessing one on one. Now that God who is always in control brought upon this possibility for a small segment of time which we can use in a church in the exact area of downtown Hilo, where the original plans were to take form back in August of 03, we don’t know the possibilities that will arise from all of this, all we do know it is a definite answer to prayer, and I feel many works of God for His glory will arise. The Great Commission is already in progress with The Church Ministries website, and we can tell by all the letters plus the fact to give an education of Christ. Jesus commanded us to make new disciples to educate what the bible says also teaching others to continue His evangelism and the healing of others we are looking at a massive change for Christianity, on a very large scale. I have to keep my dreams and outlooks on a very high level, that is why the testing and the attacks on my health plus all the internal attacks of where they are focused like not being able to speak will soon be over, there is so much good this church wants to do, and we came to a screeching halt with this whole health affliction. So once God heals me of all these afflictions then we have the true testimony of the truth of God’s immaculate healing, then others will gain faith and in turn they themselves will be healed of any sickness or burden or any other problem. So I feel thousands will be changed by this whole fresh news of God working within His church that is why I probably have suffered for so long.
I will be able to connect with the prayer ministries to thousands, all I would have to do is write back to all the people that needed prayer for the past year and when they find out that God healed me for just this purpose, because every prayer that went out there was always a few sentences about the church and my afflictions and my tests and attacks, so as the church has already planted a seed in so many hearts and world wide, now when the healing comes and the activity of The Church Ministries rises for Gods glory, thousands will be more than just saved, they will picture a reality of Gods grace and love which will fall into pure bible truth and real miracles which in turn will gain a higher percentage of faith for so many. I do not mean to boast, but this was Gods plan from the beginning, to watch a pastor go weaker and weaker almost to the point of death, struggling each week to pray and put up that sermon. With all the suffering and hardships all around, included now the golden turn that will help people all through the world and this will be the stating point for a new revival from the center of the Pacific Ocean and branch out more through all the world. I bid you all a great peace. Praise God for His Son, His greatest gift and we held on to bring the love of God into so many households, countries, townships, and villages. So in any event the news this week, which is the most gracious news we have heard in a long time, to have a chance to help so many others locally, which was our objective to move here, and to have a few hours in a time slot to accomplish the dream in church in the exact point where this idea or vision started two years ago 5,000 miles away. You can see God is great, and in control!
Dear Heavenly Father, How awesome is and how Your love all people who struggle to know You and Your love and grace. How You love Your people who love You. We wish to shout the Name of Jesus! We love You Father, thank You Holy Spirit for all the teaching and inspiration You have put into all our hearts. Today is a banner day service praise be to God I am still able to preach to so many across this planet, Please heal all the people that requested prayer, all the ones I was not able to reach out to. Please bless all the prayer ministries that send everyday all there emails directly into The Church computer and have been for so long. Bless them all, I would like to list all the Ministries but we would have a long list! Father we are here to worship You today and everyday and above all we want to be Your friends, we want so much to be close to You. We want so much to rid our flesh of this world and drop all sin that dwells in our bodies so we can come close to You in pure spirit and in truth. We are all sinners; please forgive us all of our sins, our closeness with the world and lust of the flesh, eyes and any type of pride. We are Your bond servants, we want to do anything You ask of us, we were all brought with a price, by the shedding of Your Sons blood, Jesus Christ. Dear Lord, hear our prayer, feel our love, feel our hearts, and open them to Your direction. Please give us a new refreshed chance. Please have the Holy Spirit come upon us all and anoint us and heal all our early feelings, help us to think of heavenly things. We all ask just to touch You Father. Our love for You is full of passion. Please Lord, let us start over and be as white as snow. Please continue to be with us and guide us and protect us from all evil. In the powerful name of Jesus Christ, Amen,
As we begin another week, we realize that all things are not what they seem. You may have a beautiful church on a wonderful piece of dynamic property, but what happened on the inside may be quite a bit different then on the outside. You can go to many a church service and find many clicks, groups of people who stick together and it may take a long time for you a new person, to be welcomed into there comfort or trust or even there worldly gossip. Many churches today, are missing the fact of why are they there, not to talk about what kind of new car what’s his name got, or someone is cheating on there husband, you know just general gossip. I tell you I have seen those gossips and busybodies in many a church. The main thing, as we all know, is the church is not a building, the church is a gathering of people selected by God positioned in all there different locations with all different varieties of gifts. God has perfect timing and works in mysterious ways. It is not just to go in to a large sanctuary and everyone takes their regular seat and sing a few hymns, or listen to a drama, or a particular musician play a solo. The whole aspect is to worship God. Tell the Creator that we love Him and adore Him, thank His Son, Jesus for saving our souls. It is a gathering of prayer and worship like in the upper room in Jerusalem with the 120 all of one accord everyone in worship and prayer and thankfulness to God for all His provisions. Then it opens the door to the Holy Sprit and comes down and spreads that anointing, and there were many a time and many a church I myself have felt the presence. Maybe not as intense like the day of Pentecost, if we only knew how man and his tradition has changed the whole course of the church, remember the church is a breathing organism not an organization. It is a existing, living breathing, gathering that is alive. Christ is alive. Why do we call the church the Bride of Christ? The Bride of Christ is so alive, Jesus is not coming back to marry a beautiful building, with seats and chairs all in a row with everyone facing the backs of everyone’s heads, and a lot of times people are worshiping the leader not Christ! Some churches today are so much in love with their Pastor, they do and get directed by everything he does and says. I have been in many a church where they did just that, and the terrible thing about it was the pastor, was a false teacher or just a man guided by the wrong spirit and I am sorry to say many people go to there individual churches and are worshipping Satan himself. What a pity, do you not think God will become furious when he finds his groups of people worshipping a man that holds darkness in his heart? Do you feel after you attend a church like that you will enter into Heaven with the right plan and duties that God has laid out for you, I think not. Take it from a man who speaks the truth from his heart. Our main goal here is to preach the truth from our hearts. Do not forget as Jesus was telling his Disciples in Matt 24 verse 10-14
At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. Matt. 24: 10-14 NIV
For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect–if that were possible. See, I have told you ahead of time. Matt. 24:24-25 NIV
Then again he warns us twice in verse 24 and Jesus ever says if possible mislead even the elect. Well the elect is us. And if we do not have a solid foundation in Gods word we will not be equipped to even see or understand the errors and distortion in false teachings, plus miracles do not mean that they always come from God. Do not forget the Pharisees and Sadducees did not believe Jesus Himself was working miracles from God so why should we doubt a mere man. There are so much refresh ness that in the Old Testament about false prophets and they spoke what people wanted to hear, just like today in 2 Tim. 4:3-5
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths. But you, be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry. 2Tim. 4:3-5 NIV
So you see Paul is telling Timothy there will be a time where people will not include sound doctrine. Pastors today no exactly what to say to get there money, grow with more people and to hold peoples interest. Wealth and health and happiness, that’s what people want to hear, but still we ourselves, are to test the Spirits or the words just like the Bearauns did in the book of Acts chapter 17. They listened to Paul and immediately went to the word they had and made sure he was speaking the truth. Paul went through so much torment and tortured and beatings for preaching the truth, just like our Lord Jesus. Sometimes people just do not want to listen to the truth. I worked with a Christian man for a long time and he went to a different church. We were both Christians but he would out right laugh at anything I would say, because, sorry to say, he was so brainwashed by his church, he did not want to even keep an open mind, just to leave a fraction of his intellect open for anything new. He was set in his ways and I do pray for him regularly, that he , some day, does find the truth. It is simple when you have attended so many church services all over the country, as I have. You begin to feel what sounds right or wrong, especially when you study consistently, read many books, and go through the actual experience of each church in different towns and places with all kinds of unusual people. That is another subject brainwashed Christians, that think they are Christians, and they are so many out there, it almost brings tears to my eyes.
Will you put up with a little foolish aside from me? Please, just for a moment. The thing that has me so upset is that I care about you so much--this is the passion of God burning inside me! I promised your hand in marriage to Christ, presented you as a pure virgin to her husband. 2Cor. 11:1-2 MES
Paul was trying to explain that the churches love should before Christ alone. Just as a pure bride saves her love for one man, to go into the verse further the pure bride should be unaffected by false doctrine or teaching. When Jesus comes back to marry his bride the church, he is going to be looking for one church not all these denominational divisions, how will he find purity in His Church when the traditions of man have changed everything.
But now I fear that you will be tricked, just as Eve was tricked by that lying snake. I am afraid that you might stop thinking about Christ in an honest and sincere way. We told you about Jesus, and you received the Holy Spirit and accepted our message. But you let some people tell you about another Jesus. Now you are ready to receive another spirit and accept a different message. I think I am as good as any of those super apostles. I may not speak as well as they do, but I know as much. And this has already been made perfectly clear to you. 2Cor. 11:3-6 CEV
So what does Paul say in the next two verses 11-3-4 So the Corinthians which had a pure and simple devotion to Christ was being changed by false teaching. We have to realize deeply that if this was happening then so long ago, look as the world has changed and become so much colder, where do you think the church as a whole stands now? We are to keep Christ first in our lives, we cannot be distracted just like Eve lost her whole focus and today there are so many things (not like back then) to help you lose focus, TV, internet, newspapers, general news, can be a great distraction away from our beloved Savior. Just in the same chapter what do we find in verses 13-15
For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, fashioning themselves into apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for even Satan fashioneth himself into an angel of light. It is no great thing therefore if his ministers also fashion themselves as ministers of righteousness, whose end shall be according to their works. 2Cor 11:13-15 NASB
We also must remember that Paul separated himself from these other false teaches over a money situation. He did not want to be compared with the others, he wanted his word to be in truth and blameless not for money, which was a good move on his part, the thing is we know that Satan is a major deception, so in these verses these false apostles were trying to act there role as apostles of Christ and they were no more than agents of Satan. So if we again I say happened back then just imagine how intense it could be and amplified and multiplied in these end times. It is very scary just for me to talk about it, if and you should could hear all the prayer requests that I read and how false teachers fall right into this category. We can make a simple test as we fall back to what I mentioned before about the Bereaians Act 17:10-12
That very night the believers sent Paul and Silas to Berea. When they arrived there, they went to the synagogue. And the people of Berea were more open-minded than those in Thessalonica, and they listened eagerly to Paul's message. They searched the Scriptures day after day to check up on Paul and Silas, to see if they were really teaching the truth. As a result, many Jews believed, as did some of the prominent Greek women and many men. Acts 17:10-12 NIV
So do the teachings add up to scriptures? Does the teacher believe and proclaim in his heart and eyes and sprit that Jesus Christ is God, and affirms that He came into the world as a man to give Christians salvation.
Dear friends, do not believe everyone who claims to speak by the Spirit. You must test them to see if the spirit they have comes from God. For there are many false prophets in the world. This is the way to find out if they have the Spirit of God: If a prophet acknowledges that Jesus Christ became a human being, that person has the Spirit of God. If a prophet does not acknowledge Jesus, that person is not from God. Such a person has the spirit of the Antichrist. You have heard that he is going to come into the world, and he is already here. 1John 4:1-3 NIV
Now another question or a test question, does the teacher have a life-style that is equivalent to biblical proportion?
"A tree is identified by its fruit. Make a tree good, and its fruit will be good. Make a tree bad, and its fruit will be bad. You brood of snakes! How could evil men like you speak what is good and right? For whatever is in your heart determines what you say. A good person produces good words from a good heart, and an evil person produces evil words from an evil heart. And I tell you this, that you must give an account on judgment day of every idle word you speak. The words you say now reflect your fate then; either you will be justified by them or you will be condemned." Matt. 12:33-37 NIV
Now I do not want to lose you all here, we know that people are going from bad to worse.
You should also know this, Timothy that in the last days there will be very difficult times. For people will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred. They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self-control; they will be cruel and have no interest into what is good. They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God. They will act as if they are religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly. You must stay away from people like that. 2Tim 3:1-5 NIV
We also know that Satan is a lier and the battlefield is in the mind. He has his hands into everything that is seeking good. We know that Satan has prevented or hindered Paul and he has been thwarting me and preventing and hindering me for the last 14 months 1 Thes. 2:18
Dear brothers and sisters, after we were separated from you for a little while (though our hearts never left you), we tried very hard to come back because of our intense longing to see you again. We wanted very much to come, and I, Paul, tried again and again, but Satan prevented us. After all, what gives us hope and joy, and what is our proud reward and crown? It is you! Yes, you will bring us much joy as we stand together before our Lord Jesus when he comes back again. For you are our pride and joy. 1Thes. 2:17-20 NIV
So Satan is nothing but a liar to destroy anything for which is good and to destroy anything that wants to accomplish good for people and for the Kingdom of God.
We know that we are children of God and that the world around us is under the power and control of the evil one. 1John 5:19 NIV
Once you were dead, doomed forever because of your many sins. You used to live just like the rest of the world, full of sin, obeying Satan, the mighty prince of the power of the air. He is the spirit at work in the hearts of those who refuse to obey God. Eph. 2:1-2
Satan, the god of this evil world, has blinded the minds of those who don't believe, so they are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News that is shining upon them. They don't understand the message we preach about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God. 2Cor. 4:4
For you are the children of your father the Devil, and you love to do the evil things he does. He was a murderer from the beginning and has always hated the truth. There is no truth in him. When he lies, it is consistent with his character; for he is a liar and the father of lies. John 8:44
Be careful! Watch out for attacks from the Devil, your great enemy. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for some victim to devour. Take a firm stand against him, and be strong in your faith. Remember that your Christian brothers and sisters all over the world are going through the same kind of suffering you are. 1Pet. 5:8-9 NIV
"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly. John 10:10 NASB
"I will not speak much more with you, for the ruler of the world is coming, and he has nothing in Me; John 14:30 NASB
"Now judgment is upon this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out. John 12:31 NASB
We all know Satan is a liar and a big deceiver and by these scriptures we can tell that it is like chaining up a wild dog, and it is safe but you are not to get to close to the length of his chain, I hope you all understand.
I have decided to deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of his flesh, so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. 1 Cor. 5:5
To finish up this sermon and round it all out with a conclusion, this is a heavy one, especially in this day and age, when you are not sure what is what or true or false.
This Is an example of taking a man and more or less judging the man, but who knows who is performing the judgment call and what church he is being cast out from. This is the worst treatment I have ever heard of in my life. I have seen this action done to people that did hold the truth in their hearts and they were cast out because they were different. People that held the true peace of Christ, and because they did not go along with there so called beliefs or mans traditions, they would be separated from other Christians or fellowship with other believers in order for them to repent of there ways. It, to me, is the most non-Christian treatment that any group or church can do to any person. People think there sinful nature would leave in the process, but to tell you the truth the only sinful thing is to judge any man and leave him alone without anyone because he is different, the man can be slow, or not to bright, but that gives no right for anyone to cast someone out when he probably needs proper direction and in this day and age I do not know where this person would go for proper direction, go to another church with three people in it so the pastor can collect a salary and have an apartment to live in downstairs, I don’t think so. I have seen that too. As it says in all the bibles this disciplining action should be done as a last resort. Everything should be done out of love. I can understand Paul doing this process back in his day, but today, I would like to take the scripture and re- analyze it for the world of today. The Churches role should be to help, not hurt a person and once a person goes through something like this for instance, how much love and compassion would it take to bring back his faith? Maybe Jesus knew the battles and the jealousies and the prejudices in the end times.
And the Lord said, "Hear what the unrighteous judge said; now, will not God bring about justice for His elect who cry to Him day and night, and will He delay long over them?” I tell you that He will bring about justice for them quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?" Luke 18:6-8
That is probably why Luke 18:8 exists
We all know it is a terrible sin for a man to have an affair with his mother in law and that kind of sin can cripple a Church, but to correct something of this nature takes compassion and counseling and there are always two sides to every story. Like when they brought the adulteress to Jesus in John 8;3 What happened to the man? No one ever mentions the man! We know some what of the law that the Jewish lawyers did not follow the law by arresting the women with out the man. The law then requires that both parties, the man and the woman, both be stoned. (Lev.20:10) (Deut.22:22) but they used the woman as a trap for Jesus and so Jesus was God He knew how to handle there little games. If the woman was not to be stoned Jesus would have been violating Moses law. If Jesus said go ahead stone her then they would have reported Him to the Romans who did not permit the Jews to execute or carry out there own executions.
What this all boils down to is Jesus knew what He was doing and how to handle the situation, by saying only a sinless person can throw the first stone. You see he emphasized the importance and forgiveness and compassion, so when others are caught in sin , are you right there to push the penalty button and pass judgment. To do so would be like you never sinned. This is just how I am going to end this sermon today. It is God role to judge, it is God who is in control, always!
It is our role to love, help, forgive and show compassion. God is always in control! That is why we pray for guidance and direction and we ask God to be in control.
Dear Heavenly Father, In this world You are in control, in scripture the evil one is running the evil of this world and blinding the good, attacking the good, trying to destroy the just, trying to manipulate the good, turning man against man. They say a dog is mans best friend, but you would naturally think it would be man. Father You are our best friend, You are our stronghold, You are our peace, we love You, Lord please help us all from evil, it is written You will keep us safe and all we have to do is have faith and trust and believe. Lord I was tricked and mislead in my life in many instances. Father, please show us our right pathways, the right and narrow road that leads to life. We all want to follow your statues and we all want to thank You and praise You. You are our God; Jesus is our Savior and The Holy Spirit our counselor. Forgive us for all our sins, please let this week continue to be a golden one for Your glory. In Jesus Name, Amen and Amen.
