Weapons of War


If you know anything about me, you know that I love kids sooo much. Because of my love for kids you will spot me with a kid on my lap at church or any gathering. Spending so much time with kids has given me a sneak peek into their train of thought and how they process things. As cute as they are there are times where I can’t focus on how cute they are because of how loud their cry is. Have you had an experience with a baby that just couldn't stop crying? I have, my youngest brother was not even a year old and I was taking care of him for the night. My baby brother cried until I cried with him because there wasn't anything else I could do. When a kid starts crying if you scream at him/her, he/she will even cry harder, worse if you try to make them stop by beating them.

I thought of war and weapons of war. War according to this world is basically beating a kid to make it stop crying. But for us Christians, war and its weapons are completely different. Our weapon of war is Love! Love brought the king from His seat of glory to the earth as a human in flesh. Love Kept Him on the cross and Love made Him pray for all who persecuted Him.  “3 for though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. 4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.” 2 Corinthians 10:3-4. This world tells us tit-for-tat an eye for an eye but Jesus tells us to love your enemies, He tells us “If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. If someone takes your cloak, do not stop him from taking your tunic.” Luke 6:29. Yes it is a bit out of the ordinary, slightly different from how this world works. But God is a God that is everything but ordinary and nothing of this world constrains His works and miracles. So is it’s not too shocking if His principles don’t match principles of this world?

Notes:
·              Next time someone does you wrong repay them by doing something nice, that will lead them to repentance, and that would be the greatest lesson you can teach them
·               Repaying evil by evil is putting gasoline in a burning fire and hoping it would stop
·               Two wrongs don’t make a right!

Stay Blessed<3

Sermon by Jentezen Franklin: Spirit of Python: Teaching Angels to Worship

When you are going to hell/trails and you worship is when you can teach the Angels to Worship :) 1) God is Spirit : the Spirit is looking for people who will worship Him in truth and In spirit. *In Truth: the right truth (Jesus : see John 14:6) * In Spirit: even during trails we need to be in the spirit of Joy, Faith, Hope and Love "God is spirit,  and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.” John 4:24 2) God can make something out of nothing : before God spoke the world into motion it was nothing. He took what was nothing made it into something. He also hung it on nothing, there is nothing that holds the universe in place! “Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation?      Tell me, if you understand." Job 38:4 How and when can we teach worship to the Angels? Angels Vs. Us Angels 1) Angels have never been nor will they ever be under the course of sin 2) They live in a perfect place (Heaven) 3) The fir...

Sermon by Jentezen Franklin: The Power of Doing More than Expected

Even Jesus went a little farther...He did more than expected! Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.” Matthew 26:39 1) Jacob was working for his unfair father-in-law...and still did more than expected   Genesis 29 Jacob was tricked by his father-in-law Laban. But he never sinned against Laban and he always did more than what was expected from him! 2) Who did Jacob learn it from..doing more than expected? From his mother Rebekah "17  The servant hurried to meet her and said, “Please give me a little water from your jar.” 18  “Drink, my lord,” she said, and quickly lowered the jar to her hands and gave him a drink. 19  After she had given him a drink, she said, “I’ll draw water for your camels too, until they have had enough to drink.” 20  So she quickly emptied her jar into the trough, ran back to the we...

Just Jaded!

I hope you and your loved ones are safe in these crazy times. If any tragedy has come to your home, I pray God's peace and love envelops you right where you are. I pray that you rely on His unending love, mercy, grace, and strength in this time of hardship... I am, like most people, feeling very jaded. I have experienced more highs and lows in such intense frequencies now than any other time I can remember. I believe this is why the Lord has me sharing this... I had planned to write about loving people and what it looks like in different seasons. However, I felt a nudge that I should be sharing about the hope I have despite feeling jaded. To make sure we are on the same page about what I mean when I say jaded, here are two definitions from Merriam Webster's dictionary:  1: fatigued by overwork: EXHAUSTED  2: made dull, apathetic, or cynical by experience or by having or seeing too much of something I can identify with both definitions. In this season, I fin...
