NOW FAITH IS

Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see. (Hebrew 11:1)

Faith is something that can be measured, rather it be a grain of a mustard seed or the size of a mountain. GOD has given ALL of mankind a measure of faith, and you are the common factor of what your portion will be.

Faith is not equivalent to light speed it has none it just IS. FAITH IS NOW, the bible says when you pray, believe that you've received YOU HAVE what you SAY!!!!  GOD is seeking that one that will JUST TAKE HIM AT HIS WORD!!! Even upon the return of our LORD that is the one thing that HE will be seeking for... finding a faithful BELIEVER in the earth. A man that believes, operates from the eternal life realm, NOW FAITH IS!!!! This is mind blowing and it takes faith just to believe what I speak to you today. . .but truth is when we walk in faith we are operating in the image of GOD because even GOD has FAITH IN HIS OWN WORDS.  God believed what He said would come to pass, and it DID. God spoke, and the entire Universe IS it never was it still IS what He declared it to be. 

It does not require you gyrating & shouting ‘til the point of losing your voice (how ever this can be a display of your FAITH) Never in scriptures did we see JESUS raise His voice once in the Gospels. He simply just decreed and declared CONFIDENT, FAITH-FILLED words. Similarly, Paul and the Apostles spoke confident words, and got results. We have the same Divine Nature, the same Faith Nature they had. NOW! We, having that same Spirit of Faith, if we truly believe, we should also speak that same NOW FAITH! We speak about taking back our healing, our prosperity, and we should, but we cannot disregard the fact that we also need to command that the field with a harvest of souls need to be taken back from the forces of evil into HIS marvelous light.

SN: We need to command those fields that are white to the harvest to be filled with workers, and then join forces with them: NOW!

Bottom line, make a decision today, to start calling those things that be not as though they were. Then grab your collection plate called NOW FAITH it's the substance of your hope and the EVIDENCE of the things that is about to MANIFEST!!! GO OUT and start picking up your called out NOW blessing(s)!!!!!"

SHOULD A SPIRITUAL LEADER CALL THEMSELVES A "GURU"?!

"Be careful what you call yourself! "

SHOULD A SPIRITUAL LEADER CALL THEMSELVES A "GURU"?!

I have heard and seen many call themselves "Guru " Before we can answer this question we must first learn what it is:

The word guru originated from the hindu language it is defined as:

The guru-shishya tradition is the transmission of teachings from a guru (teacher, गुरू) to a 'śiṣya' (disciple, िशष्य). In this relationship, subtle and advanced knowledge is conveyed and received through the student's respect, commitment, devotion and obedience. The student eventually masters the knowledge that the guru embodies. Also; guru: (Sanskrit) "Weighty one," indicating an authority of great knowledge or skill.

For clarity, the term is often preceded by a qualifying prefix. Hence, terms such as

*kulaguru (family teacher),
*vinaguru (vina teacher) and
*satguru (spiritual preceptor).

The originall text comes from the Hindu astrology, the teachers were not mere christian or followers of Christ, according to the hindu religion;

Hinduism is an ancient religion with no founder or known date of origin. The term "Hinduism" simply derives from the word "India" and refers to a wide variety of religious traditions and philosophies that have developed in India over thousands of years. Most Hindus worship one or more deities, believe in reincarnation, value the practice of meditation, and observe festive holidays like Diwali and Holi. Hinduism is a dominant religion of India that emphasizes dharma with its resulting ritual and social observances and often mystical contemplation and ascetic practices contrary to the word of God.

What is wrong with this practice, I believe Brihadaranyaka Upanishad exposed it best, when he said, 'When you hear about the Self, meditate upon the Self, and finally realize the Self...you come to understand everything in life.' It is a selfish religion, that edifies man and discounts God.

In Western usage, the original meaning of guru has been adopted to the point were we have let this imposter into the house (temple) of God. As to means of having a 'TITLE" to exemplify our authority or status. We want to be perceived as this great wonder following after the doctrine of '..realize the Self', look at my anointing, look at the souls I won to Christ, look at my congregation, etc. This title was adopted by the western secular world and was never suppose to be invited into a place that it was not originated in.

In this practice followers of gurus make offerings by praising the guru. Does this sound familiar, when a preacher falls; so do some of us, because we have put out praises in the created and not the Creator. This blog is to expose the spirit of darkness that comes in sheep clothing mingling with the stray sheeps to lead them off into the darkness. Those are the christians rather leaders or pew warmers that have gone off the righteous path, and if not restored quickly through accountability to the word of God. The spirit of darkness finds his way to persuade the sheep away, he does this by looking the part. Look like another sheep, sounds like another sheep, yet underneath the sheep clothing is pure wolf skin. The bible says, there is a way that SEEMS right to men but it only leaves the person to ruin when sin gives birth. 

I just like to say to you I believe why power is leaving the church; the organism not organization, is because we are committing adultery on God with other familiar spirts that look godly and sound godly but no where is God in it. And because God is not in it (temple) we have invited principalities and powers, rulers of darkness and spiritual wickedness in high places to encamp themselves in unsurrender areas of our life. Making out power renderless...aka !!!WATERED DOWN!!!

I can attest the people I have seen wear this title have that familiar spirit of (SELF) they are conceited; exemplifying a high self-center dependence on what they call their wisdom, revelation, discernment and power and not to exclude having this higher view of themselves. And every now and then trying to show godliness being giving this mediocre praise to God occasionally. But 9 times out of ten giving the praises to themselves. I call it the case of the 'ME's, MY's, and I's. They wear it on them without saying a word, their garments look like this, they want to be seen, and they want to be the center of attention, they come in expecting front row seat or a place in the pulpit. You have seen them, they wear conceit as there garments.

Not knowing that they have, "Giving foothold to the enemy"  and giving their hands to the cuffs of sin, many times they do not even realize or able to recognize it because they have gradually been drawn in or have been captured (BOUND).

So next time you feel "lead" to  use terms that sound like they are "POWERFUL" over others lives. You might want to look up and even consider exactly what 'power' you are giving entry to in over your life.

I have to stop here because of time but be sure to check back periodically to the conclusion of "Watch what you call yourself!"

LOVE-SLAVE: QUALIFICATIONS II & III (Part Four)

by LaTonya M. Williams-Elias on Friday, January 8, 2010 at 4:49pm

LOVE-SLAVE: QUALIFICATIONS II & III

In my last note we touched on one of the qualifications of a servant for Christ:http://www.facebook.com/note.php?created&&suggest&note_id=255903415792#/note.php?note_id=131463205792

Today we talk about the second and last qualifications of a servant of Christ. I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Gal. 2:20

Obedience

Paul's conversion (Acts 9:1-19) was not just a turning from sin. It was a complete turning to God for his purpose and pleasure (note Acts 9:6).

Paul not only refers to his own relationship with God as the model of a love-slave, but in Philippians 2:5-8 he presents the Lord Jesus as our great example of obedience. As the New Living Translation renders it:

"Your attitude should be the same that Christ Jesus had. Though he was God, he did not demand and cling to his rights as God. He made himself nothing; he took the humble position of a slave and appeared in human form. And in human form he obediently humbled himself even further by dying a criminal's death on a cross.."

Provision

A slave possesses nothing of his own, but is the responsibility of his owner. His food, shelter and clothing are provided by his master. If the Lord has our total loyalty, we will not be like those who do not know him 'full of worry about our daily needs' He knows we need these things and, for those committed to him, the Lord promises to prosper our work and meet all our daily needs.

Read Matthew 6:24-33

Read Philippians 4:18-19

These three qualifications of a slave {ownership--as discussed in part three, obedience and provision} are also the mark upon your life in Christ. But that's not all Paul says, however. In his introduction to the Roman Christians, he goes on to describe his credentials with another phrase. Which we will hit on over a period off time so stay tuned to my notes and I will be in tuned to bless you on your righteous journey through Christ Jesus...

Love you to life;

Prophetess L.M. Elias
