YOUR REAL ILLUMINATING MOMENT - "EVEN A CAVEMAN CAN SEE IT"

IS GOD SUPERNATURAL? WHY? WHY NOT?

If you are speaking in the Tongue of the Divine to someone who only understands the language of the supernatural, there cannot be any successful communication for “What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? Or what does a believer (an Obedient Saint) have in common with an unbeliever (rebellious and unbaptized disobedient sinner)?”  One speaks out of hopeful and blind TRUST and divine revelation and submission to God and CHRIST and the other only understand what their human imagination, feelings and intellect can grasp hold of and agree with.   One operates in the POWER of The Holy Spirit and the other in the strength of their humanity.

Don’t Get It Twisted!  The Supernatural and the DIVINE are NOT the same and never have been.  Not once in the Holy Scripture's Account of Christ and His Apostles was God or His Messiah ever referenced as being or operating in the "supernatural."  They are Holy, Divine, Almighty, SPIRIT AND TRUTH, LOVE AND FORGIVENESS, MERCY AND GRACE, but never "supernatural."

“A DAY LATE AND A DOLLAR SHORT" with Bishop O.W. Prince

Sometimes the best and most precious things are wrapped in plain brown paper.

Take notice whenever you’ve been overlooked for something shiny and bright and then refuse to be anybody’s second choice.

Rest assured that you were always the better choice.

IS CHURCH "SEXY?"

There are some folks who go to “church” for the wrong reasons and with the wrong attitude. 

Some go to worship services lusting after someone and looking for someone to hit on and/or hookup with (Have sex with).

Some “churches” serve only as a hunting ground for the depraved mind, lustful spirit and sexually immoral.

I wouldn't play with God like that but some people just don’t care.

Why Do You Go To “Church?”

“Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.  For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world.  The world is passing away, and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God lives forever.”  ~ 1 John 2:15-17

“No one Can Serve The Lusts of The Flesh and The Spirit of Holiness.  Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other.” (Bishop O.W. Prince)

"Grace Defined"

Lately it seems that the term “grace” is being used by religious folks to refer to everything but the kitchen sink.

One of the ways it is being defined by some Christians is that grace is the opposite of the Law.  However, contrary to popular opinion, grace is not the opposite of the Law or commandments of God.  The opposite of the law isindecency or lawlessness.  But Grace is favor over the Law.  It is the favor that comes from being God’s child, and not from justifying our actions or behavior legally or otherwise.  If you sin against God and repent –demonstrating your desire for forgiveness and mercy – earnestly desiring to be in a right relationship with the Father – His favor or His grace accepts your apology even when the Law demands your punishment.

Another way of understanding this is to say that we are always “under the law” of God but we are not always subject to the demands and penalties of the Law although we may be found guilty of a violation of the law.  I know that this seems to contradict the Word found in Romans 6:14 that says, “For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.”  But if you were to look at this scripture in the light of Jesus’ teachings you would realize that Romans 6:14 doesn’t mean that God has done away with His Eternal Ten Commandments.  To the contrary, we all are subject to the eternal commandment of God and instructed by Jesus to keep all of God’s commandments. (Matthew 7:21-23, John 14:15, John 14:21, 1 John 2:4). Therefore, God’s Eternal Law abounds over us but where the law abounds grace much more abounds – admonishing us to obey God’s Commandments voluntarily and go and sin no more. (Romans 5:15, 20)

For instance, if you were caught speeding – doing 55 miles per hours in a 35 miles per hour speed zone – you were guilty of a traffic violation but you repented and acknowledged responsibility for your offense – then the Law Enforcement Officer, instead of penalizing you as you deserve, issued you a warning ticket – he showed you mercy.  This act of kindness doesn’t justify your violation nor does it relax the law or license you to continue to speed.  It simply extended mercy toward you, allowing you another opportunity to comply with the law and obey the speed limit from here on out (John 8:10-11).  But if you practice speeding and continue to disregard the law, mercy will cease and punishment will be enforced.  However, grace accepts the penalty (punishment) for our transgressions and relieves us from the consequences of our lawlessness.  But this grace is not for everyone.

Now God may have mercy on whomever He will but His grace is reserved for His children.

Many are under the impression that “Grace” is somehow extended to everyone regardless of their willful disobedience to God’s commandments.  Thus they believe that in order to be saved by grace all that they have to do is recite a prayer or repeat a confession of faith.  Others think that gracesomehow excuses them from any obligation to observe and keep the Eternal Moral Commandments of God.  They believe that God will pardoned their willful disobedience and lawlessness on the merits of grace. However, they are dangerously mistaken.

Only those who obey God’s commandment to repent (die to sin) and are baptized into the death of Jesus Christ may consider themselves children of God and eligible to receive His grace.

A good way to understand how Grace relates to one’s relationship with God is to think of God as a good parent and ourselves as children (Matthew 18:2-4).  Children have favor in the eyes of their parents.  If they obey their parents, they are rewarded.  If while obeying their parents they get into any trouble or break anything, the parents assume responsibility and pays any cost on behalf of their child.  The child doesn’t earn this grace, it is freely given by virtue of the child’s relationship to the parent. However, a child of disobedience (a practitioner of sin) has no expectation of grace or favor from God.  God is not his parent.  His parent is Satan (John 8:44).

Let me summarize. Mercy is the acts of being excused from the full weight of the consequences of our offence  although we are guilty of breaking the law.  It is withheld punishment or postponed condemnation for God is NOT willing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9).  Whereas Grace is the act of receiving what we could not earn or deserve on our own.  It is unmerited favor and forgiveness.  Grace is reserved for those who have Repented,Kept God’s Commandments and Obeyed His will (Romans 6:1-4).

“Mercy doesn’t save us.  It gives us time to repent.  God’s Grace Saves!“ (Ref. Matthew 7:21-23, Ephesians 2:8)

All Praise Honor and Glory belongs to God the Father through Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen.

God's Sovereignty

by John W. Ritenbaugh
Edited for Re-post by Bishop O.W. Prince

Romans 13:1-7

(1) Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. (2) Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves. (3) For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same. (4) For he is God's minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God's minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil. (5) Therefore you must be subject, not only because of wrath but also for conscience' sake. (6) For because of this you also pay taxes, for they are God's ministers attending continually to this very thing. (7) Render therefore to all their due: taxes to whom taxes are due, customs to whom customs, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor.

Once we understand God's sovereignty over the nations, it is not difficult to understand where Paul bases his instructions in these verses. Thus we can understand why Moses so quickly and surely considers the actions of Korah and his group as rebellion against God rather than merely against himself (Numbers 16). When Israel rejects Samuel as judge over them because they want a king, God reveals to the prophet that the people are really rejecting the rule of God Himself (I Samuel 8:7). It does not matter whether a Christian considers his nation's government to be unlawful. What matters is whether God permits it. If He permits it, this One, who is aware of even sparrows falling, has allowed it or has directly brought it to pass because of the purpose He is working out. That is all that matters. God is ruling His creation, and this is what we are here to learn and trust.

Jesus lived His entire life under an unlawful civil government. The Roman government ruled over Judea as a result of military conquest. Moreover, at times even the ecclesiastical government was not in the proper hands because corrupt Roman officials discovered that just-as-corrupt Jews were willing to pay bribes to "buy" the high priesthood. But the Scriptures repeatedly show Jesus subject to them, though He called both, especially the ecclesiastical one, into account. Matthew 17:24-27 is a clear example:

When they had come to Capernaum, those who received the temple tax came to Peter and said, "Does your Teacher not pay the temple tax?" He said, "Yes." And when he had come into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, "What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth take customs or taxes, from their sons or from strangers?" Peter said to Him, "From strangers." Jesus said to him, "Then the sons are free. Nevertheless, lest we offend them, go to the sea, cast in a hook, and take the fish that comes up first. And when you have opened its mouth, you will find a piece of money; take that and give it to them for Me and you."

The Temple tax was one-half shekel per year for every Jew over 20. Since Jesus Christ was Lord and Owner of the Temple, He and His "children" should have been free of taxation. Jesus orders Peter to pay it anyway for both of them to avoid a bitter and offensive debate on the merits of His claim. By doing this, Jesus sets the right example looking by faith beyond a legal technicality to the True Ruler, the Father. God likely brought this episode to pass for our instruction.

Perhaps a brief statement of Solomonic wisdom will summarize Christian understanding of God's sovereignty over the governments of men: "There is no wisdom or understanding or counsel against the LORD. The horse is prepared for the day of battle, but deliverance is of the LORD " (Proverbs 21:30-31). His meaning becomes clearer in other translations. The Living Bible renders it, "No one, regardless of how shrewd or well-advised he is, can stand against the Lord. Go ahead and prepare for the conflict, but victory comes from God." The Revised English Bible translates it as, "Face to face with the Lord, wisdom, understanding, counsel avail nothing. A horse may be made ready for the day of battle, but victory rests with the Lord."

It may seem a remote possibility, even strange, that we would fight against the Lord, yet because human nature remains in us, we do. The apostle Paul complains in Romans 7:14-23 that what he did not want to do he did anyway because a law of enmity against God worked within him. Proverbs 21:30-31 tells us that human wisdom, insight, and counsel must be in conformity with God's will to be successful. God's children must understand His sovereignty over everything and conduct their lives knowing that nothing avails against God and nothing without Him.

The Most High is sovereign over all kingdoms on earth and gives them to anyone he wishes. (Daniel 4:25)

To rebel against leadership and power is to rebellion against the sovereignty of God. For it is The Most High God who assigns position and power to whomever He desires to accomplish His will. ~ owp

FaceBook - Blessing or Curse?

FaceBook can be a blessing and a curse.

I believe that it was Thomas Aquinas who said, "Nothing is intrinsically good or evil, but its manner of usage may make it so.”

FaceBook can be a wonderful place to network with others of like minds and similar interests; to reconnect with old acquaintances; to make new friends; to share and to learn.

FaceBook can also be a treacherous place of disgusting behavior; of vulgarity, profanity, indecency, immorality, irreverence and deceit.  Many false personalities claiming to be someone or something that they are not have infiltrated countless FaceBook walls and pages.

It has never been more important than now that we know who it is that we are befriending on our FaceBook walls or in our FaceBook groups.  Every pretty face may not be a pretty person and everything that looks like a saint ain’t.

Be careful and ask questions of those whom you do not know who are requesting to friend you on FaceBook.  Get Referrals from mutual friends.  Make sure that names fit faces.  If a prospective FaceBook friend refuses to display his or her image to you, you may want to consider denying them access to your wall.  If they can see you why can’t you see them?

You owe it to yourself to be safe online.  You owe it to your FaceBook friends, your subscribers and your family to protect your shared information from interlopers, gossips and clandestine individuals.

We all know that it is impossible to absolutely be secure on a social network. However, that is no excuse to be careless.

Let us help keep one another safe.
