If People Are Being Tossed to and Fro by Every Wind, What Wind Is in Your Sails?

This topic brings to mind a sail ship with massive sails moving across the open sea, the massive sails catching the wind as the ship is being carried about over the sea by the wind. Sailors have even given the winds their own name, hence the term trade-wind. Sometimes these winds can be very strong and can carry the ship the way they’re blowing.

In some ways I can’t help but compare this to all the people in the world today who are claiming to be Christian but their walk does not typify the life of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. While many people are claiming to be a Child of the King, why is it that all of these so called Christians don’t speak the same things or live the same way? They don’t read the same Bible or the Word of God, but they say that they are of the same belief. This alone to me seems to be an oxymoron.

The average so called Christians today are some of the most prideful, arrogant, self-absorbed, greedy, not helping the needy, condemning individuals in the world today. Yet none of the characteristic that they display are of the attributes of Jesus Christ at all. Jesus describes what a Christian should be like, not pretend to be. We are supposed to be examples for the world like Christ was. In the Bible He wants us all to be the same.

10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

1 Corinthians 1:10

Its sad to say that the portrait that most of these so called Christians are painting exhibits who they really serve: their father Satan the liar. If your life is a lie and you are a pretender or perpetrating a life of someone or thing, then your life is a lie. Jesus said no liar will tarry in His sight.

He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.

Psalms 101:77

Jesus also said the all liars will have their part in the lake of fire. These are the type of people who are easily deceived by this world or by every favorable word or doctrine. Just like that sail that is fill by strong wind, they become tossed all about. You need to ask yourself, “what wind is in your sails?”

For the real Christian or Child of God, in the book of Ephesians 4:14 it reads: 14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;

We should know better and know our Lord and Savior’s voice and obey it. In my conclusion, I’ll leave you with James 1:1-27.

1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting. 2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; 3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. 4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. 5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. 6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. 8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. 9 Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted: 10 But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away. 11 For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways. 12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. 13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: 14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. 15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. 16 Do not err, my beloved brethren. 17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. 18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures. 19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: 20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God. 21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. 22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. 26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain. 27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

James 1:1-27

In Jesus name, it is So.

Are You Ready to Walk this Walk Out Together?

I am reminded of the words of Amos 3:3, “can two walk together, except they be agreed?” These words conjure up thoughts of individuals not able to work out a problem. Or someone who’s not ready to do a thing when the other person is. Or maybe someone who is part of a team is ready to commit to the team and the other is not. Maybe they have many personal problems, or they’re not ready to let go of the life they’re living. Yet, still their heart says yes, but their mind is saying no, not yet.

That brings to mind a very familiar chapter in the book of Hebrews:

6 But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end. 7 Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice, 8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness: 9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years. 10 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways. 11 So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.) 12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. 13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; 15 While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.

Hebrews 3:6-15

Look at your neighbor and say “Are you ready to walk this walk out together?” Some of us might be thinking of that old Winans song, in which the lyrics go like this: “ Tomorrow, I’ll give my life Tomorrow…Tomorrow might be to late.”

Even the Bible in the book of James says: 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.

James 4:13-14

You know what? We are helpers one to another. If you or I stumble, we can helper each get back on our feet again, not just stand there and make fun of our stumbles or falls. In this life, I’ve learned one thing about people: They always have an excuse for everything in life, no matter what it may be. Here at Ark of Covenant Ministries (AOCM) we have a motto: Never give up and never surrender, no matter what comes. How many times have you ever had to stand alone to face a situation or failures in your life? Well, if you don’t know or have become some what disconnected from Him, it’s never to late to get reconnected to Him. We all started out saying, “Lord I’ll follow You where ever it may lead,” but some how things got twisted.

We started to sound like the individual in the book of Luke: 57 And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain man said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. 58 And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. 59 And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. 60 Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God. 61 And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house. 62 And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

Luke 9:57-62

In my conclusion, I’ll leave you with this: 1 Corinthians 1:10 10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. Remember this: Proverbs 24:1-3 1 Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them. 2 For their heart studieth destruction, and their lips talk of mischief. 3 Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established:

1 Corinthians 1:10 & Proverbs 24:1-3

Let this word be accepted by all who read it, and it is so. In Jesus name.

How Many Faces Do You Own?

Hello everyone and good morning! I’m just giving all of you my good morning face. This is one of the faces I own. How many faces do you own up to? As you all might have noticed, we all have made many faces in our lives because as human beings we show how we feel inside by the faces we display every minute of the day. We all have heard the following sayings: poker face, smiley face, long face, stupid face, petty face, funny face, happy face. Why is it that we have so many faces that we use in our day to day affairs? Even the law takes what is called a mug shots and files it in a criminal log book. All of us at one time or another have told someone how we feel about them without even saying a word. Some of our deepest moments of love have been expressed by the look in their faces. On the other hand, moments of being mad or out right angry have been expressed by the look of the face. Look at the person near you and ask them what type of face they’re wearing now.

4 Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. 6 Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child. 7 But the LORD said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak. 8 Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the LORD.

Jeremiah 1:4-8

It’s so import to note that the very look of your face to an individual can either bring them to Christ or run them away. There is a serious concern for every baptized, Holy Ghost filled believer to contend with. Listed below are 5 Faces you should look out for:

  1. The faces of gossip, James 1:26
  2. The faces of greed, Luke 12:15
  3. The faces of liars, Ephesians 5:6
  4. The faces of an unbeliever, 2 Corinthians 6: 14-18
  5. The faces of deception, Romans 16:17-27

If you’re claiming to be a child of the most high Jesus, then what kind of faces are you presenting to people you are around every day? Are the faces you show those of the attributes of Jesus Christ? Are you being a light?Would Christ be proud or would He be disappointed? Has your bulb gone dim? Or maybe it’s out. Was it ever even on?

Be careful of the faces you show the world because they could draw people to Christ or run them away. Remember the face you show people is not always the face they see. Your faces will always tell the truth on you.

1 In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. 2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known. 3 Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.

Luke 12:1-3

While in the Press We Should Always Do Our Best, Nothing Less

As humans we’re going to encounter conflicts, hardships, pains and sufferings in one situation or another. Sometimes in ways brought on by us, and we all know how the story goes. One miss placed word or statement, maybe a gesture or even the way of your body language. In these times, people are so sensitive over the smallest of matters, in some cases they are waiting for you to make mistakes so that they can capitalize on them, as a way to point their finger at your inadequacy, or even your personality so they can spread negative accusations concerning you and your life. Situations and events of this kind have often caused problems and brought misery to family, friends, jobs and relations, not to mention you and others personal lives. When your are going through pressure or stress or painful problems in your life, you should look at where that situation stems from. In other words, get to the root of it. In the life of a Saint or Child of Jesus Christ, we are not to let the cares and the emotional pit falls of highs an lows in our lives dictate our sense of existence or our Christ walk. Even every human being in this world shouldn’t allow pressure, stress and emotional tides of highs and lows to dictate existence.

These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

John 16:33

As true Christians, you can’t allow the stress and pressures of this world to control you or your walk. Philippians 4:6 tells every Child of Jesus Christ to be cautious about things and go to Jesus to get the answer. As we are children of the light, we need to walk like the light we represent and not talk or speak about what the light is doing.

6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. 7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them. 8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:

Ephesians 5:6-8

1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. 2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. 3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. 4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. 6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. 8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. 9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. 10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love. 11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. 12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. 13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. 15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. 16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. 17 These things I command you, that ye love one another. 18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. 19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. 20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. 21 But all these things will they do unto you for my name’s sake, because they know not him that sent me. 22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin.

John 15:1-22

Let all who read get a clear understanding of what Jesus is asking of us to do. Take care, and it is so!

What Spirit Has Attached to You If Any?

In this life, somebody will always desire to be like the person they’re not. They will go as far as to mimic the ways of others and even begin to say and pray that whatever spirit that is attracted to them they want it to be attached to themselves as well. Look at some entertainers like Beyoncé. The spirit is attracted to her call Sasha Fierce, and other entertainers. These people are very voiceterous about how there is a spirit that inhabits them every time they perform. Also when it comes to magicians, most have sold their souls to Satan. Sports figures as well. Do you want to compromise your salvation for wealth and fame? A lot of people try to be like someone else famous to impress others. You begin to carry yourself and act like someone else . We want something to be attached to us because we want to be like that person . God made you the way you are. There is a reason for you in God eyes, and to find out what it could be is your gold in this life an through gift of the Holy Ghost you will know the truth. God doesn’t aloud things to happen to you because he don’t love you, he making you not breaking you. He made you the way you are because there is something in you that can draw others to him . I often think that if I could have been this or that in life is what I wanted to be, it isn’t what He wanted me to be. When I went against His will, I got sick. I don’t want the wrong spirit attached to me to cause me to hate Him. We have to really look seriously at the people we’re around. The Bible says try the spirit to see if its of God. If the spirit isn’t right then you need to separate yourself from it. We want to attach ourselves to something but that isn’t always good.

So I ask you, “what spirit has attracted to you?” Sometime our lifestyles will dictate what type of spirit will attach itself to us. Demons will get into your life to mess up your life so you’ll never find Christ. Anyone can kick against something that is openly evil, but an innocent little book like Harry Potter, “oks” the spirits that are inside of you. There are actual incantations in the Harry Potter Books that real witches have validated. Kids read these books, and they are reading a demon right into their lives. The parents say that its innocent. But someone who doesn’t know Christ doesn’t know what’s innocent and what isn’t. The Wigi Board is one of the most widely used games in the world. Demons are maneuvering the board. You can receive a demonic spirit attachment, without even asking for it, just by playing with the game. Because Satan wants to bind you to this world and to your miss guided life. Many people don’t realize, if you use the devices of Satan an his demons , then this will open a rip or doorway in to your soul, then demons will alter your perception of the truth. If your mindsets was open before to the idea of doing things wrong sometime, then that which was wrong an evil before will become normal to you in life, because you aloud that door to be open in your heart . There many different types of demons are attached to all type of objects an things and personality, life style . Laziness, is a spirit, if you know someone who is lazy. The Bible gives descriptions that denote being lazy and these are found in Proverbs 26:14-16. People who are lazy are excuse makers. You’ll find every excuse under the sun. Maybe if you are a liar, or a thief.

14 As the door turneth upon his hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed. 15 The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom; it grieveth him to bring it again to his mouth. 16 The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason.

Proverbs 26:14-16

13 The slothful man saith, There is a lion without, I shall be slain in the streets.

Proverbs 22:13

4 The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.

Proverbs 13:4

People who have a demon attached to them want to be near you. When you get squeezed into a corner and you can’t get away, then start speaking the Word of God out of your mouth, with power and authority ;then they will cower. If you hold your peace, and let Him fight your battles, He will cast them out. If you don’t have the Holy Ghost in you, turn around and run. The Holy Ghost will separate the real Christians from the fake ones. There is no Holy Spirit, only a Holy Ghost. The Holy Spirit was then in the Old Testament as God, and Jesus is the Holy Ghost in the New Testament . When you try their spirit with the Holy Ghost in you, that spirit will flee. It will leave you alone because it knows you are right child of Jesus and its wrong one.

If you slip into comfortable state of mind, then you run the chance of being seduced by one or more of these types of spirits. How many people see you accepting of lesbianism, homosexuality, alcoholism, lying, thievery; if you accept these, then you run the the risk of those things visiting your life.

1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; 3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.

1 Timothy 4:1-3

In this society today it has become acceptable to practice witchcraft. It has gotten so bad today, that people are openly practicing satanic worship in the arm forces and also have satanic temples in almost every community across our country let alone the world. In the military there is a saying, “there is no atheist in a fox hole.” But I declare to you now you don’t know what you will find in a fox hole today. It might be an atheist, devil worshiper, gator, lesbian, axe murderer or whatever. There are more gays in the military today than ever. Before, you couldn’t enter into the military if you were gay.

Even when it comes to some of the smartest men and woman in the world, they even have enough common sense to know whats happening in the world around them. For example, the celebrations of the the largest Hadron Collider or what is known as a very big partial accelerator. They celebrated the completion and grand opening of by having a Satanic show of worship on the grows before all the dignitaries for around the world. To make it even worse, the ceremony was performed by the technicians, workers and the scientist themselves. They also performed a mock up sacrifice live on T.V. There was also a nude individual doing a Saturnalia act on a float and hundreds of participants were involved. Malcom X said at one time that if a person doesn’t stand for something, they will fall for anything. So I ask you, “What do you stand for?” You need to find out where you are with God. Because if you don’t know Him, you’ll fall for anything.

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,

2 Timothy 3:1-6

As you can see today men’s hearts have so drastically changed that they’re more open and unashamed people, acting out their freshly mind and will to satisfy their emotions, instead of truth, wisdom, and understanding. We must understand we wrestle not against flesh and blood (Ephesians 6:12). People have turned away from the truth and now put their trust in themselves and have even begun to turn to old fairies tales.

3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. 5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry. 6 For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.


2 timothy 4:3-6

These days people are doing things they want to do, and they want you to validate the things that they do, and who they are. That is why, what must you do as sisters in the Lord? Com out from among them…leave them alone. Sometimes you’re a better light leaving someone in sin, than staying in their presence. If you don’t they will drag you down. Can any lie or act of darkness inhabit the Kingdom of Heaven? In my conclusion: as usual I’ll leave you with these words of wisdom, believe not every spirit (1 john 4:1) and secondly the Bible said evil is always present.

14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. 15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. 16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good. 17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. 19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. 20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. 22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: 23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. 24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? 25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.


Romans 7:14-25

Thanks for reading, and may God open your eyes to His Word; and it is so.
