“Journey To Purpose On Purpose”

 Question: Do men know that they’re in a cult or heading down a cult leader description road? Today: Fads, Trends,& Cliches are dangerous- “We should show love to all men,not in partial or favortism!” -If you quote the word with knowledge, wisdom, and understanding you are accused of being too spiritual -If you do not condone unrighteous judgment you are considered false -People are more attracted to sex topics, relationship, finance, and individualism opposed to God’s Gospel as a Body of people. -Hypocritical Preaching and Belittling others with harsh words -Bulky tactics justified by “I m just telling you what God says in his word!” This is just a few red flags to look out for.

Do not believe that cults are full of weird, weak, and emotinally unstable people. Not true. many cult memebers are very intelligent, attractive, and skilled. The reality is that all sorts of people are involved in cults. One of the few common denominators is that they were often recrutited at a low point in their life. Red Flags: -People who speak of themselves and not of God’s plan for all mankind -Do not give counsel to encourage you to a road of recovery or salvation but of hot topic, juicy gossip, tickling ear conversations -Brag and boast about their social staus -Mind Control tactics -Idolatry, Covetousness, Jealousy-over another man’s success, accuser of the brethern -Manfestations of the works of the flesh according to Galatians 6 -Ask for unreasonable amounts of money especially from the poor, or those that may not be financially stable to support their mission…..Or preach prosperity messages to reap a material blessing…”The flesh into flesh reaps corruption”

Have you been involved or know of someone that was affected by a cult or unethical leadership? If so, elaborate or share with us some of the warning signs or struggles coming out of a cult.

Remember, the Word of God is of freedom to live, breathe, and worship God freely not by condemnation or brim stone and hell messages. God did not design his word for leaders to get rich quick off the saints or to defraud the people of God. It is a leaders reasonble service if he gives up his life, to do the will of God, ordained by God. It is not the people’s responsibility to pay a mans salary. God provides for the ministry he breeds….God’s Word will cleanse us from all unrighteousness. He did not call Leaders to patrol sin, but to help guide the people along the way where they may get stuck on this journey. Leaders have a level of purity to uphold. Many are called but only a few chosen. Pray about your spiritual leaders, and those who impart the living word into your life. Pls share modestly. Thank you, Lisa Fikes

Let me explain it this way. Roll back the cameras and reminisce
about your childhood. Do you remember a time when you had to
take a quiz in class but you were not prepared for it? You didn’t
study, so you depended on your classmates sitting next to you
to give you the answers. In essence, you decided to cheat. At the
appointed time for the quiz, you began twiddling your thumbs,
sweat poured down your face, and your heart started beating really
fast. You feared you were about to fail the quiz. The teacher gave
instructions with a stern face, telling you all to keep your eyes on
your own papers. She began to walk around row by row. As the time
ticked itself away, and the fear, doubt, worry, and anxiety rushed to
your thoughts, you started to get angry at the teacher. You think,
Why did she have to give me this stupid quiz anyway? Nobody cares
about this stuff. How is this going to help me out in life?
We approach God in the same way. We need answers. He has
them. He allows us to pass through different circumstances to teach
us lessons, and then He gives us a quiz. But, what have we been
doing? Instead of paying attention to the lessons our circumstances
could be teaching, we’re out playing or we’re complaining. We’re
not studying. Therefore we’re not prepared when the tests come.
Then we’re mad at God.

Today we live in a microwavable world. In our minds we realize
that nothing in life comes overnight, but in our experience, we live
wanting everything—especially answers—right now. We tend to go
with the fl ow of others’ knowledge without adequately checking
the source. Instead of stepping back and fi nding out what God
wants, we depend on another man’s answers. Do we know where
the results came from? Did this come from a third party resource,
sacrifi ced research, a balanced thought life, well-understood data
and logic, or did the answer come from God?

Races are not won automatically. The athlete who wins
outperforms his fellow athletes, who also want to win. The athlete
who wins the race is that individual who most wants to win, who
purposes to win, and who is willing to pay the price for winning.
The thing which sets a winning athlete apart from the rest is his
self-control. This discipline is not simply evident in the race, nor
is it restricted only to the realm of athletics. The winning athlete
disciplines every area of his life so that he may win the race.

If such discipline characterizes the athlete, how much more
should the Christian be willing to exercise self control to “win the
race” set before him? Please ponder this scripture of reference:
“Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how
that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through
the sea; And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the
sea; And did all eat the same spiritual meat; And did all drink the
same spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.
But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were
overthrown in the wilderness” (1 Corinthians 10:1-5).

Do we misunderstand God and life?

Holding the mirror in your hand, you see a box that holds a lot
of memories. Your mind starts to play tricks on you, but you know
you’re living in the “now” moment, although it takes you down a
memory lane. Your facial expression is saddened as you pick up a
photo album. Before your eyes are sketches of family and friends,
an ex-boyfriend, or an ex-husband who broke your heart. You fall
to the cold, concrete fl oor and burst into tears. You angrily pound
your fi sts into the sides of the boxes. The pain is excruciating.
Who can you blame at this moment? Where do you point the
fi nger? You hear pride scream through the torrents of agony, “But
it wasn’t my fault!” You try your best to justify your case in the
courtroom of your mind and heart.

Then you remember that you have a religion, so you redirect
your anger towards a supposed-to-be-all-knowing God. Your gut
reaction is to inform Him that He is responsible for your pain right
now. You feel perfectly justifi ed to point the fi nger at God because,
after all, there is no one bigger than He.

You pick up another frame. There are the old friends you hung
out with, laughed with, and told your innermost secrets. You shared
your wealth with them, fed them when they were hungry, clothed
them when they were naked, lent to them and told them they didn’t
have to pay you back until they could. You charged up credit to
make a circle of friends of debt emotions

What is the mirror telling you? You realize you’ve used it as a
rearview mirror, only seeing what has come up behind you. But
ironically, do you also realize that you were unable to use this mirror
to watch your back? All the hurt, heartache, and pain happened
anyway. You didn’t realize those pictures needed to cascade out of
that box to reveal those painful memories. You had to fi nd where
you went wrong, how you missed it, and what there was to learn
from it.

Who are you mad at right now? Are you still angry at God for
the family division or the bad company of people you kept around?
Have you begun to see that the problem isn’t anyone’s issue but
your own? If you live alone and your sink becomes clogged, do
you blame the house, or do you understand that clogged sinks are
simply a maintenance issue? Life happens. The only one responsible
for how you respond is you.

Excerpt from book “Journey To Purpose”

God gifts us to work in the purpose for which we have been called. We know our gifts by being tuned in to our own personality. Sometimes our gifts may be exposed in our weaknesses, our strengths, or both. A job can develop a lot of characteristics that are in us that we didn’t even know were there. Pay close attention to yourself. If you’re in tune with the Holy Spirit, He will guide you, He will reveal Himself, He will say yes or no. You will not be confused because you will have such a burning desire that it will not rest until you work it out. The biggest mistake we make when trying to fi nd our purpose is to try to walk in someone else’s purpose. We try to be someone else or someone who other people want us to be.

Ministry is not about saying, “OK, I’ll do it if this is what you want.” Ministry is  about the skills at hand, your gifts in operation, and the passion that lies within you to successfully carry out the task. Watch for people who appoint others to positions of authority in the body of Christ. All ministers do not come into ministry the traditional way or in one way. At one point, the disciples were worried about other ministers who were going another way when Jesus was walking with them, showing them the ropes. Mark 9:38-40 relates the story: “And John answered him, saying, ‘Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us.’ But Jesus said, ‘Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me. For he that is not against us is on our part.’” Just because ministries are different, or men are not walking in the direction you are, it doesn’t mean they’re in error. We have got to get out of that mindset. All of God’s children will not go through the traditional system of worldly men’s credentials. In fact, it was told that God would rarely use wise men to do a job for him. Why? Moving in ministry and purpose is not dependent totally upon our intellect. Your ability and success in ministry is not about your intellect; it’s about your submissive attitude to give God glory and allow His power to rest upon you.

No flesh will glory in the presence of God. Paul was a knowledgeable man when God called and used Him, but he counted his knowledge as dung, rather opting to depend on God’s glory than on His own intellect. God raises dysfunctional characteristics and unbalanced people to be examples. Diversity ministers. We must properly discern the body and know where our place, callings, and positions are in the body. Why? No man will be without excuse. The very one you despise may turn out to be your chief cornerstone. Trust me, I have found that none of the true words of God fall to the ground. Divisions cause a lot of harm, fractions, friction, disappointment, disapproval, schisms, and even reproach upon God’s name and the ministry.

 We need all of the body in order to function properly. We must learn to reverence God. His name should be just as big as any corporation in the world. Many false ministries are not  exposed because they look real, and no one knows what the right is supposed to be. If we lay the foundation of our ministries on the Word of God, we’ll have a true pattern that can be followed. Then the ministry will fl ourish, and its purpose will be sure. I believe we are in a time when a lot of ministries will start falling like never before. If they are not fl ourishing the way God intended, or fulfilling their purpose, God will test them and they will be exposed by fi re. God will burn up works that are not honoring Him and may turn the work over to the heathens to run. What are you willing to give up? What are you willing to live for? What is your purpose? Where do you fi t? What vision did God give you? What part of the body are you?

Meditate on I Corinthians 12:16-27: : “And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him. And if they were all one member, where were the body? But now are they many members, yet but one body. And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary: And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness. For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked: That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another. And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it. Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.” —1 Corinthians 12:16-27

May God bless the hearers and the doers of His Word.

Read the prophecy in Isaiah 61:7: “For your shame ye shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them.” Can I help you out of the tears and the woe-is-me syndrome? Had it not been for your shame, there would be no glory. Jesus said He prays for our strength, that we faint not at the trials that He has for us. Think it not strange when something happens to you, for it is for your glory, and to set to the seal that God is true.

Wipe your eyes! Stop wallowing in the mess, and don’t worry about the stories everybody has put out there. They will see, and indeed probably already see, resurrection power working in you. You are risen and alive. Your spirit man is stronger than ever right now.  Jesus didn’t give up because he knew the Scriptures had to be fulfi lled. He did for you what brought Him unimaginable pain. You don’t have to defend your image if you walk upright. Keep the faith and persevere. You will boldly be able to preach it on the housetop! It will come out like fi re and nobody will stop it from coming out. Anyone would be foolish to try to even challenge you. You have a testimony. You have to be a true and effective witness. It will be diffi cult to fi nd anyone who is teaching without fruit, without testimony, without blood, without tears, without persecutions, without humility, and without sweat.

Every kingdom operating in delusion is coming down. Go through things with God. No need for copying and pasting, tweaking, and stealing other people’s testimonies. Don’t you know that will be exposed? Some don’t think this because of their status, but God is not allowing His children to walk in darkness. We are allowing the devil to steal God’s name and seduce the church. Some are faking it with work they stole from someone else’s fi lm scripts, plays, etc. and we flock to them like it’s OK. You hear about spiritual matters just to get the name off the ground, and then you see all of the work directed to the world. I’m not saying you can’t have any neutral work out there, but where’s the Kingdom? Some are innocently shamed because we feel out of place. I don’t care if I’m the only one standing, I will declare the righteousness of his Kingdom! We can’t build a Heaven here. The true Holy City is not on earth, but in Heaven.

 Let’s look at Revelations 21:10: “And he [God] carried me away in the Spirit to a great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of Heaven from God.” In spite of anyone believing in a Holy City or not, we must come out of the natural and see in the spirit that there are things about God we won’t be able to comprehend. We have to accept those things by faith. When John went into the spirit, he understood that the Holy City was in Heaven. When we die, we will go somewhere, although it’s hard to accept we’re going to Heaven or Hell. I don’t understand it all, but I know for insurance purposes, I’m not taking a risk to go anywhere worse than the world I live in today. Double for your Shame!!

The Holy Spirit is a wonderful source of blessing, but he is never to be taken for granted.  The Bible makes a point of telling us that it is possible to sin against the Holy Spirit with disastrous results.  Men and women who hear the message of Jesus but who refuses to believe in Jesus as Savior and Lord are said to “resist” or oppose the Spirit (Acts 7:51).  The Spirit is convincing them.

The god of this age blinds the intellect of man so that the gospel cannot penetrate without direct intervention of the power of the Holy Spirit.  “But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them: (2 Cor. 4:3-4). It is a powerful blindness, but it cannot prevent the God of all creation from using His children to plant the seed of the gospel in the hearts of the lost.

Christians should never fear Satan, but wisdom dictates a healthy respect for an ancient, deadly enemy. When you are dealing with Satan, do not treat him lightly; remember and respect what the Scripture says of him. “But even the archangel Michael, when he was disputing with the devil abut the body of Moses, did not dare to bring a slanderous accusation against him, but said, “The Lord rebuke you!” (Jude 9). Christians should particularly remember the daily power of the Lord’s Prayer, which includes this sentence: “And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one” (Matt. 6:13). Jesus Christ would not have commanded us to pray that prayer unless we needed that kind of divine protection every day. The devil does have power contrary to popular belief. If it wasn’t so, How does this power blind the mind of the world? Be not fools, but wise when it comes to the enemy, who goes around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

Jesus did not bow his knee to Satan, but millions of people do everyday destroying their lives. These people have decided to turn away, denouncing Christianity, lack of understanding, misguided, or just lost. It is our jobs to make sure we’re not teaching people from a novice mindset, or a judge mental seat. It is our job to spread the good news about salvation. (Eternal Life) Please do not be quick to pierce someone with the sword because you’re rejected. This is apart of the job, if you find yourself angry, you must revisit your job description. These people may refuse to bow to Jesus Chris, love, while here on earth, but they will find themselves prostrate before Him in the final judgment

Please Beware: God did not call us to men of hard language, or speech. We should be mindful of strange speech, the need to stand out with eloquent words, hard to be understood by our own brethren (unisex) in our land….Father Of Heaven, His Son(Jesus Christ), and The Holy Spirit …..No one can have one without the other…Please do not be deceived. They are ONE in Heart, Mind, Power, and Soul…..

Ezekiel 3:5-7 (King James Version)

 ⁵For thou art not sent to a people of a strange speech and of an hard language, but to the house of Israel;

 ⁶Not to many people of a strange speech and of an hard language, whose words thou canst not understand. Surely, had I sent thee to them, they would have hearkened unto thee.

 ⁷But the house of Israel will not hearken unto thee; for they will not hearken unto me: for all the house of Israel are impudent and hardhearted.

 Life is more than what meets the eye. Some purposes are designed by peers, family, friends, and the like. We define ourselves by titles, salaries, degrees, and our bank accounts. Our Designer has tailored your purpose for you as He would an entire outfit, complete with  a hat, shoes, jewelry, precious stones, and a shirt to match. It doesn’t matter how you came into this world; the value of your life and your purpose lies in  the way you leave it.

 The children’s apparel is so different and creative. God makes things so plain that even a child would understand it. He makes different styles of shoes for all walks of life. No matter how hard it’s been or even if the shoes or boots are talking back to you, you are in for a specialized service. Strap your safety belt, he has handbags of baggage he has released millions of times, he wears so many hats it’s too deep to put a scarf around it, just come by faith. God will give you some extra eyeware and don’t worry about the wholes in the hosiery it only makes it all the better to redress you. These are some of the adding finishing touches to your outfit.  It’s well knitted and it clothes your entire body from head to toe. He knows the human anatomy, he knows the additions and subtractions to your life meaning what is lacking and what is needed. The various shapes and sizes have a model and your it. You don’t have to attend a fashion show, or a tradeshow, it’s been bought with a price.  He knows the state of mind we are in before he calls you in for fitting. You don’t have to worry about marketing your outfit because he already formed thee in the womb, he is calling you, he has predestined you, justified you, and glorified the  design. You’re already trendy and it doesn’t cost you a dime. God already knows you, he just wants a simple yes. Try him and see if this style suits your wardrobe. Could I just tell you something about your designer, He’s a  Name Brand and it has quality, prestige fabric, and it is creased to fit you just as you are. The size doesn’t matter either. We tend to think we have to come all glued together, but our grace is our nakedness. Walk to the dressing room of Truth and Grace to meet the Father. He’s waiting for you to give him your size. He will even order a special seamstress to your height. It’s not always about being the best dress, the best hair do, the best attitude, or the best family history, Just come says’ the Lord.  “That’s a Priceless Suit”

 Psalms 139:14 Declares “declares, “I will praise you; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are the works; and that my soul knows right well.”
