Are You a Surface Person, Living Selfishly

In this world today, people are pampering the weakness in their life instead of pursuing Christ. In these last days the men, women, and children will become selfish and disobedient, heady, lovers of unnatural affections for the opposite sex and warmongers.

The narrative of this planet reads like a sci-fi novel with a horrible end where everybody dies. The heart of man has waxed worse and is full of self-indulgence of the flesh.

1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

2 Timothy 3:1-7

The seventh verse of this chapter sums up this day and age. Man is always in search of new things, be it of the human body or technologically in the field of electronics or exploring deep space. Man is forever trying to find out how our Creator made things, but never what man’s purpose is or how to live according to God’s will and with their fellow man. The people of this age seem to have but one thing on their mind, and that is a life of self-indulgence. What’s even worse is that this way of thinking has found a home in the House of God where the lust of the mind has become common place among the so called Saints of the Lord. They’re backstabbing each other, down playing the significance of each other’s ministries, lording over God’s people, doing and saying all types of evil in their presence, and jockeying for positions of authority among the people of God. In this generation, we call that kissing up to the head; sometimes doing whatever it takes to get a leader to validate that they are somebody; somebody to listen to in Christendom so they can gain fame and a bank full of dead hypocrites, at the cost of destroying their brothers and sisters in Christ.

1 From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? 2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. 3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. 4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. 5 Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? 6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. 9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. 10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up. 11 Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge. 12 There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another? 13 Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: 14 Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. 15 For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that. 16 But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil. 17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.

James 4:1-17

So as you can see this world and the Church has slipped into a mind of selfishness and flesh with no regard for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and his crucifixion an resurrection. In my conclusion, remember this: if you didn’t get anything else we talked about, in this life, its not about you, its about Jesus Christ and His will for your life. In Jesus name, it is so!

Who Do Men Say That You Are?

In the Bible, the Word of God reads in the book Mark 8:27:

27 And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Caesarea Philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Whom do men say that I am?

Mark 8:27

As we look back over our lives, we sometimes think about what kind of life we lived and some of the things we participated in. At some point, we didn’t even care who saw us. But this in turn lead others to sometimes give us names that described our character, however not the true character that we were. That name follows us even today. When you look at where you are today, you wish you hadn’t made those mistakes and now regret every moment.

A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold.

Proverbs 22:1

1 A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one’s birth. 2 It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart.

Ecclesiastes 7:1-2

Well, back in the 1700s and 1800s in the United States, there was a saying: “Your word is your bond.” However, that is not the same today. People today will lie right in your face with the most convincing look that a person of honor can have, but underneath are all lies and deceit. In these days some consider it an honor to have what we call a “rep” or reputation; it gives them identity.

As a Child of God, you are something new as Corinthians 5:16-19 says: 16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more. 17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

In my conclusion I’ll leave you with this:

16 Let not then your good be evil spoken of: 17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. 18 For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men. 19 Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another. Don’t allow yourself to be drag back into your pass where the things that people tag you with, begin to rear it head again in your life, the word of God tell us to separate yourself from the world.

Romans 14:16-19

14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,

Delivered but Not Free

What does it mean to be delivered? When used as a verb, delivered means to set free or liberate, also to release or save. In John 8:36 it says, if the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

So you might ask the question, if the Word of God declares whom the Son sets free they are free, why do most Christians seem to be so bound? Well, in order to be delivered, you must first be willing to let go of every connection to your old life that is contrary to Jesus Christ of your own free will. Romans 12:2 says be transformed by the renewing of your mind.

That means you need to bring your own body to subjection. Which entails the people you were involved with in the world, whether friend or family, you just can’t be as close as you where. Why you may ask? Well just think. They knew you when you were in the same frame of mind as they are. So as you might have already figured out, the conversations and mind sets would not be conducive to your renewal and transformation of your new way of thinking. Besides, you’re in a process of transition from the old man or old woman to a new way of talking, walking, thinking and living.

The next thing is a saying that is common among the real estate market. Everything is based upon location, location and location when buying a home. Questions are raised about what’s in that area, whether its a good or bad neighborhood, what the resale value of the home would be, what the taxes are like, and many other factors. Well, this is somewhat the same when you start your transition in the life of a true child of Jesus Christ. The places you use to go to; some people call this their old stumping ground. You must remember these are the locations where memories of events happened. So it may not be a good thing for you to go back to those old locations anymore, because all the emotional memories might cause you to have a set back in your transition of having your mind being renewed.

The last, but very important thing is who do you associate with? Like the old saying goes, “it’s the company you keep.” Not letting go of some of the people you have in your life has been one of the major reasons your new life in Jesus Christ has met with a lot of falls or stumbling blocks in your walk. Not to mention emotional discouragement and frustration, plus loss of focus in your walk in Jesus Christ. So until all these distractions in your walk have come under Godly control, it’s better that you stay clear of the pitfalls you know of from the past.

26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. 27 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. 28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it? 29 Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him, 30 Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.

Luke 14:26-30


You must remember talk is cheap. To walk costs you a lot but the rewards are great. So lets not just talk it out but walk it out. The reason a lot of Christians are still bound today is because they’re in some ways like Lot’s wife who looked back to bondage instead of looking in front at deliverance. She looked back at what could have been. Even in the Church today so called Christians are reminiscing over what they wish they would or could have done in their lives.

16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more. 17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

2 Corinthians 5:16-19

You have to have a sound mind about this in you heart. There is no looking back.

Philippians 3:8-21
8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, 9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: 10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; 11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. 12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. 13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you. 16 Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing. 17 Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample. 18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: 19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.) 20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: 21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself

If Blessing of the Lord Makes Rich, Then Why Are We so Poor

First, what doses it mean to be blessed and what is a blessing? The word blessed has two meanings. As an adjective it means to be made holy or consecrated. As a noun it refers to those who live with God in heaven. The word blessing is the act of declaring or wishing favor and goodness upon others.

Have we been blessed by the Lord yet? Well, lets take a look at Matthew 5:1-14 .

1 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him: 2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying, 3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. 5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. 6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. 7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. 8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. 9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. 10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. 13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. 14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

Matthew 5:1-14


It’s very important that we remember that you don’t want just anyone praying for you or blessing you because they could be unknowingly cursing you. Even when you listen to certain music on your phone or on music apps such as Spotify. There is one artist by the name of Fred Hammond who sings a song called “We’re Blessed.” When listening to that song, who is being blessed? Is he pronouncing blessing on the hearer? If so then you need to be aware of what type spirit and also the type of lifestyle the singer has. If its jacked up, and they’re blessing you, then the spirit that is on them will be transferred over to you. You’ll begin to have the same frame of mind they have.

Just think of all the major blessings that the Lord Jesus has given all of you already. Listed below are the major blessings that the Lord Jesus has give all of us. We are:

  1. Blessed with redemption
  2. Blessed with a redeemer
  3. Blessed with a relationship with God
  4. Blessed by Jesus the Son of God who died for our sin
  5. Blessed by the Holy Ghost from Jesus
  6. Blessed that the Holy Ghost, that represents Jesus can and will live inside of you
  7. Blessed that Jesus will return to take you home

Just know that you are blessed to know of or know someone who serves Him, so if don’t know Him then you need to.

In My conclusion: walk on in Jesus.

Romans 5: 1-21 Says:
1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; 4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope: 5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. 6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. 10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. 11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement. 12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: 13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. 14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam’s transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come. 15 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. 16 And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification. 17 For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)
18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. 19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. 20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: 21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.

Romans 5: 1-21

In Jesus name it is So.

If Strait Is the Gate and Narrow Is the Way, Then What Path Are You on to Jesus?

While being in and around, even out of this county, I’ve come to recognize different types of people who claim to be Christian. Through all that I encountered, I’ve come up with 10 types of so called Christians that exist in the world today.

10 Types of So Called Christians
  1. The New Believer: Whenever they hear someone talking about Jesus, they believe every word at face value and have no discernment. 1 Corinthians 3:1-3
  2. The Zealous Christian: They believe they can save the whole world. Romans 10:1-3
  3. Pew Warmer Christian: They come to church, they aren’t involved with anything. The only time they read their Bible is when they are attending Church and the speaker says to turn to a passage of scripture.
  4. The Clone Christian: They talk, act like and otherwise mimic the way a Christian would behave. Proverbs 3:1-6
  5. The Bible Talking Christian: They’re always quoting scriptures to use a anchors for their own philosophies.
  6. The Angry Christian: They’re mad with the world and other Christians
  7. The Sanctimonious Christian: They believe they know Jesus more then anyone.
  8. The “Woe is me” Christian: They’re always depressed, complaining, and unhappy.
  9. The Arrogant Christian: They are always right and they belittle every one.
  10. The Walking Dead Christian: They don’t even know their dead. They have no power, no anointing, no prayer life no direction from Jesus, and can’t hear his voice, because it’s all about then and not Jesus. Luke 6:43-45, Proverbs 14:12

Most people who declare themselves to be a Christian don’t even know what being a Christian is or even what being a Christian means. A lot of people, mimic people they think that are Christian, so as not to be left out by their peers.

24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. 26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? 27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works. 28 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

Matthew 16:24-28

You must know there can be no eternal life without your sacrifice. As a true Christian you must deny yourself and your self-will and the controls of this life, whether by people or this worlds philosophy. Take up your cross and follow Jesus.

In my conclusion, I’ll give you this: how can you rise with Him if you were not buried with him? If you were buried with him, how can you be friends with this world and entangled with this worldly life?

1 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. 3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. 5 And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully. 6 The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits. 7 Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things. 8 Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel: 9 Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound. 10 Therefore I endure all things for the elect’s sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. 11 It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him: 12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us: 13 If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself. 14 Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers. 15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness. 17 And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus; 18 Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some. 19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. 20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. 21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work. 22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart. 23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes. 24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, 25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; 26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.

2 Timothy Chapter 2

So why pretend to be a Christian or Child of God, when you can be the real thing? So if your life is in a sate of confusion, that means you need to seek Jesus now while he may be found an be buried with him so you can go back with him. In other word be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sin. Then shall you receive the gift of the Holy Ghost Acts 2:37-39.
