Ps 34:17-19<br />
<br />
If your wife or husband would like a divorce<br />
Do not resort to violence of any sort<br />
Don’t use force but enforce your<br />
Heart upon the Lord<br />
Speak in silence to the Lord<br />
Your whole heart is not seen in anger,<br />
Do not make yourself a stranger to<br />
God because of your pain<br />
If you feel the heavy rain<br />
It is time to deal directly with God<br />
Do not make decisions based on emotion because<br />
God has a promotion for you<br />
<br />
Show Him your devotion in your time of pain<br />
If adultery was the main cause of hate<br />
The Lord wants you to ‘make’ your decision so<br />
Take some time and spend<br />
A serious moment with the Lord<br />
Be brave and if there are children involve,<br />
Remember Christ can solve your problem<br />
God has a promotion for you so<br />
Secure your devotion to the Lord<br />
<br />

<br />
When you are facing a tough situation<br />
The blood speaks<br />
When you are sick<br />
The blood speaks<br />
When you are angry<br />
The blood speaks<br />
When you are facing the enemy<br />
The blood speaks<br />
When people insult you<br />
The blood speaks<br />
When you have sinned<br />
The blood speaks<br />
When you are unsure about the future<br />
The blood speaks<br />
When you are alone<br />
The blood speaks<br />
When your family is going astray<br />
The blood speaks<br />
When your children are moving down the wrong path<br />
The blood speaks<br />
<br />
The blood of Jesus speaks<br />
Now let us speak the blood of Jesus<br />
<br />

Deadly Influences in 2012—Kingdom Confrontation Part 1<br />
<br />
Deception is getting easier and easier<br />
Biblical marketing is a huge contribution toward deception<br />
“Biblical marketing is an attempt to use the latest sales concepts and<br />
marketing principles to attract the lost in the hope that they will be won to Christ.”<br />
There are now tons of books concerning prosperity--<br />
It appears the only thing that a Christian wants to do is to prosper “financially” and<br />
So many will resemble the format of Revelation 3:17<br />
“You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’<br />
However, the Lord said to the church in Smyrna<br />
“I know your afflictions and your poverty--yet you are rich!”<br />
<br />
Today many give to God or the church because<br />
They want more money yet I have seen many<br />
Christians that got nothing in return...<br />
Today many treat their tithe like playing the lottery and<br />
This is a product of the world<br />
<br />
The book of Proverbs warns of a quick fix and<br />
So often, we mix truth with error!<br />
Today if you do not tithe<br />
You will never be in a ministry position!<br />
How foolish that today’s churches<br />
Use the tithe as a law and spit in the face of Grace<br />
<br />
Tithing is no sign of Christian devotion<br />
We must tithe for the right reason so<br />
Let our tithe feed the poor, help the widow and<br />
Minister to the heart of God etc<br />
<br />
Let us not play the lottery in church<br />
Because that is a sign of mockery--<br />
Today many give to God or the church because<br />
They want more money<br />

‘Micro-Christianity’—the Kingdom Challenge<br />
<br />
We are in a time of history when we have so much<br />
Information about Christianity (the Lord Jesus Christ)<br />
Yet many don’t take the time out to read and research<br />
Certain things must be learnt and studied but<br />
Today we find ourselves in a fast paced life that<br />
Constantly tries to ‘tear’ us away from Our Lord and Saviour<br />
<br />
The only reason why God has allowed different Bible translations is so<br />
That the message can get to everyone ( on their level)—in his mercy<br />
We might not agree with every translation but each of us<br />
Can take the time out to study the context of the verse<br />
In order to get the proper meaning—we live in a great time<br />
We can learn so many truths (keys) of the Gospel<br />
<br />
The lack of true biblical literacy on the part of God’s people is alarming<br />
Today people believe in a ‘micro-Christianity’—<br />
Our generation has lost the art of reading—<br />
With this lack we forget that Jesus is the one that was bleeding<br />
We live in a time when our senses are being bombarded<br />
With constant noise and entertainment—the heart goes out to my learners<br />
In their pain I understand their strain and so I pray that Jesus<br />
Will guard their soul because it isn’t easy for our youth—<br />
<br />
When people are told they should read their Bibles<br />
Their instincts, correctly, are to begin with Genesis<br />
But they get half way and are confronted by ‘Cain and Abel’<br />
This is not easy reading and so the reader becomes ‘confused’—<br />
The ones who tend to read their Bibles the most, tend also to read them poorly<br />
Just think of all the denominations that are defending their ‘doctrine’<br />
<br />
Many just read the ‘good parts’ of the Bible because it suits them<br />
But it will be wise to remember that<br />
A battery is made up of a positive and a negative so<br />
It is imperative that the Bible presents the true negatives of life<br />
<br />
We are in a time of history when we have so much<br />
Information about Christianity (the Lord Jesus Christ)<br />
Yet many don’t take the time out to read and research<br />
Certain things must be learnt and studied but<br />
Today we find ourselves in a fast paced life that<br />
Constantly tries to ‘tear’ us away from Our Lord and Saviour<br />

<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: verdana, 'trebuchet MS', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">This is one of the most quoted verses</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: verdana, 'trebuchet MS', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">The tragedy is that many use this verse as a ‘scare tactic’</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: verdana, 'trebuchet MS', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">The Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7) is a </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: verdana, 'trebuchet MS', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Public criticism of the Jewish scribes and </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: verdana, 'trebuchet MS', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Pharisees for their self-righteousness and abuse of the Old Testament—</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: verdana, 'trebuchet MS', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Their lifestyle were judged righteously and Jesus came to</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: verdana, 'trebuchet MS', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Many people only want to focus on the positive things that</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: verdana, 'trebuchet MS', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Jesus did and as a result they ignore the fact that</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: verdana, 'trebuchet MS', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">A large part of Jesus’ ministry was about CORRECTION</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: verdana, 'trebuchet MS', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">The Jews were obsessed with the concept of ‘election’</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: verdana, 'trebuchet MS', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">However the reality is that they needed ‘CORRECTION’</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><br style="font-family: verdana, 'trebuchet MS', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: verdana, 'trebuchet MS', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Jesus said, “For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven” Matthew 5:20—</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: verdana, 'trebuchet MS', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Here the righteousness of the Pharisees were judged—</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: verdana, 'trebuchet MS', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">They were wearing righteousness with their clothes</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: verdana, 'trebuchet MS', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">However they never had it in their hearts!</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: verdana, 'trebuchet MS', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Many people only want to focus on the positive things</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: verdana, 'trebuchet MS', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">That Jesus did and as a result they ignore the fact that</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: verdana, 'trebuchet MS', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">When we judge a teaching, we must judge righteously</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: verdana, 'trebuchet MS', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">We must do it without hypocrisy—John 7:24</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: verdana, 'trebuchet MS', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Jesus had already judged the Pharisees righteousness </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: verdana, 'trebuchet MS', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">When He taught the Sermon on the Mount—</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: verdana, 'trebuchet MS', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Soon after the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: verdana, 'trebuchet MS', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Commanded that His followers make a judgement—</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: verdana, 'trebuchet MS', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">“Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine,</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: verdana, 'trebuchet MS', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces” Matthew 7:6—Here we must judge who are dogs and who are hogs (pigs)</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><br style="font-family: verdana, 'trebuchet MS', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: verdana, 'trebuchet MS', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Again in Matthew 7:15-20, Jesus implied that </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: verdana, 'trebuchet MS', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">The disciples must make a judgement!</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: verdana, 'trebuchet MS', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">In reality there is a simple question that we must ask ourselves,</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: verdana, 'trebuchet MS', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">How can we watch out for false prophets if we can’t make judgements?</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: verdana, 'trebuchet MS', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">[1 Corinthians 5:4-5, 11, 13b; 2 John 9-11 etc.]</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><br style="font-family: verdana, 'trebuchet MS', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: verdana, 'trebuchet MS', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Matthew 7:1 is used a lot in the 21st century</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: verdana, 'trebuchet MS', arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Many misuse it but forget that</span></span><br />
