So you think that you are smarter than your parents which you also believe will give you an edge in life? Perhaps you believe you will not struggle with the same things that they did, thus making you a better human being than they were?

I ask these questions for you because anyone who has been paying attention to our culture, the world in fact, knows that the family unit has been attacked and by all appearances seems to be losing the fight. Not possible you say? Sodom and Gomorrah had a breakdown in the family unit and lost their minds and their cities in the end. 

Don’t think it can’t happen to America? Well, like King Solomon who by Biblical accounts was smarter or rather had more wisdom than his father King David, we too can think we are smarter or have more wisdom than those cities of old, but in a strange analogy I reply, if you saw a snake before it bit you, would it in anyway still be able to bite you? Let me save you some energy – YES it can and if we repeat the mistakes of those who went before us we will incur the same judgement they did because God never changes…

I discovered this scripture while I was pulling another message together. I read it and thought to myself what a great reminder of what it looks like to be a Christian. To walk in step and in faith with God. You know as if we actually believed He wanted to hang around us. It is also a good reminder that we are indeed in a battle but that God is with us every step of the way. Be encouraged and sing along.

Curse breaking techniques? Fireside chats with the One in whom you for some time may have rejected? Is the church for goats and sheep or just goats? We I say you give a listen and decide for yourself. No doubt you would have anyway even if I didn’t give you permission. I know it’s just the state of affairs we are in. It will get better…a long as you continue to listen to these messages. Happy Thanksgiving

So this isn’t necessarily about proving that there really is only one God. This is already a fact. But, and so you don’t get thrown off when you read scriptures such as the following one, I just want to be clear that there is a distinction between the definitions of God and god(s):

Deut 32:17 - They sacrificed to demons, not to God, To gods they did not know, To new gods, new arrivals That your fathers did not fear.

You see we are created to worship something we believe that is greater than us, or when we are absorbed in sins, something that we think we can be equal to, or get something from that we think we cannot get from God Himself. But now even at this I am not trying to distinguish but to show that when we breakup with God we default to god(s); to worshipping other gods. Now these are actually demons in which our sin and the absent of God are empowered to show and to demonstrate power. Additionally we can create beastly images which can act as gates allowing demonic power to manifest. 

So these so called false gods, i.e Baal, feed off of and get permission from us by our worshipping and sacrificing to them. What does that look like you might me asking? Watch CNN or most other news stations and listen to their confirmation that God has or is leaving the building thus those false gods who come in because we are created to worship something, are breaking every promise that ever did they or you think that they made with you.

The idea for this message came from watching football. I began to notice how many drinking commercials there were. But what caught my attention was another unrelated but related commercial which opened up with a tagline indicating that the man walking down one of the infamous tunnels that the team travels down to enter onto the field, he was a retired football coach. He began drawing on a white board and made three points about gambling. One of the points stood out: he stated something to the affect, “gamble responsibly.” Now this isn’t the first time a commercial has peeked my interest and made me think perhaps I am nothing more than a dumb Elephant as I sat there eating another handful full of my spicy peanuts. I wondered if that is why they said such-and-such in that commercial – because they think that I am a dumb Elephant. 

 Now because of the way my mind works I began to flash through my mental commercial rolodex and found that other industries also using the same lie to lure you into taking a first or the next step into a very additive and potentially lethal habit forming habit. Watch me pull a rabbit out of my rabbit right! No, but so anyway they throw the dog a bone so that you are not focusing on the “killer product” which could be the bone, but they get you to focus on fruit of the-slight-of-hand, that is that they get you to believe there is meat on that thar bone so get ta nibbling.

 Now if you are not a sinner and have never allowed anything to grip your Adams apple then this message is not for you. However, if you know that the devil likes to get you to fish in a pond called potentiality then you should endure the strange beginning to this message with the promise that it will get better.
