Sing It Loud & Proud This Sunday & EVERYDAY! |Covid-19 2020

“And He answered and said to them, I tell you that if these should be silent, the stones would cry out.” —Jesus in Luke 19:40 (MKJV)

The Governor of California thinks that Christians will obey his order not to sing in Church services all over California.
I have no singing voice, but starting this weekend, I’m going to sing as loud and long as I can!

This is so fitting for this 4th of July! No one is going to tell me how to worship, when to worship, or when to sing.

I will obey God and all people will one day be on their knees praising God, whether they like it or not.
I will not wait to worship Christ when all humanity in the future will be kneeling down to the Creator of the universe. I will choose to worship Christ loud and proud today and every day….Especially on Sunday during service!

Mr. Governor you have to stop and think before you issue such foolish orders! Try stopping us, even if you try to silence us, the very foundation of your house and winery will shake in adulation to the Creator of the universe— Jesus, Yeshua, Iēsous, the King of kings and LORD of lords! He is to be worshipped, revered, be in awe of, fall to our knees and cry out to Him! You can write all you want Mr. Governor, go ahead, write your little heart out…we will not comply!

Kill us shame us, send out your lost little offended souls to go & protest against us, we…will… sing… to… the… heavens!

And hope that all Christians defy this ridiculous and unGodly order and sing it to the heavens this weekend and everyday!

Acts Church takes your Social Justice Warrior—Check&Mate |Protest 2020

Part of the Protests 2020 Series

The Christian Church should protest this and that!
The Christian church should fight for social Justice and equality!
The Christians today are so apathetic about the plight of certain ethnicities!
I can’t believe that Christians would align themselves with this President, he is a racist!
I can’t believe you disagree with me Oscar!
I thought you were a Christian?
Don’t you read your Bible, it’s the same one I’m reading and brother boy are you so wrong!
Pastors taking a knee.
Pastors aligning themselves with ethnic organizations that look good on paper, but are being used as puppets for the deep state and behind the scenes puppeteers.

Imagine that I would be writing this a decade ago. People would have thrown me out of the place I was sitting at or teaching to.

But it is 2020 and things have been turned upside down. This wasn’t an— it just happened thing! This has been systematically done, one step at a time. Like the frogs who are placed in a warm pot. The temperature is perfect, people like the frogs, just sit back and relax drinking the KoolAid.

One thing happened in 2020, the puppeteers have turned up the flame to boil!
I wish I could say this was a surprise, but I have seen Christ’s church throughout the world infiltrated by the Social Justice Warrior-Christians.
Let me say this first, I believe that the Church, the True Christ Church should be in the forefront of changing the injustices, righting the wrongs, feeding the hungry, clothing the destitute, and taking care of the widows and the orphans. This theme I have written over and over until I have turned blue in the face.
But here is where I part ways with the Social Justice Preachers and congregations of today:

1. Most of those preaching Social Justice don’t actually know what that means.
2. Most of those that preach it, don’t actually give of their own money. They want the church to do this.
3. Most of those trying to change the world can start at home.

But usually, when a social justice church teaches from all ministries, they use social justice words like correct oppression, wrongs need to be validated, Jesus was a social justice warrior or advocate etc.

Women will use words like I speak truth into, or I speak life into this… or I acknowledge the wrongs caused by etc.
They have to be careful about saying these things because God is the only one that can speak truth into, validate, give out justice and take vengeance Romans 12:19
We are to act justly, love mercy and walk humbly.
We are to right wrongs, but not in the way that social justice pastors/ churches seek.
This social justice church philosophy started in Latin America with Catholic socialist priests who were Marxist. That should give you an idea of how long it’s been around.
A few things to consider:

We cannot change the world acting like the world.
We must share God’s love with the world, by sharing the Good News of what Christ did on the cross for them.
We have society change itself from within by discipling the world, one person at a time.
We are the only example of Christ to the world. Our example is to point Christ to them. We are not to get into the affairs of this world by socially changing it. We must preach and teach the whole counsel.
That there is a hell and heaven. That one will go to hell if not saved by the actions of Christ in the cross.
That we have to acknowledge our sins, all the wrongs that we have done to others.
We then ask Jesus to forgive us of those wrongs. It doesn’t matter how sinful our lives have been, we become new creatures through and by Christ’s saving grace and mercy.
Nothing we can do, not even changing the world with social justice, will get us into heaven.
That once we ask Christ to come into our lives, and we commit to His ways, then and only then can we even be fit to point others to the Creator of this universe.

Here’s my question to all who preach social justice at churches:
1. Will seeking social justice and teaching it get people into heaven?
2. Can you preach social justice until you are blue in the face, then find out that you have lost people into hell for not teaching and making disciples of all nations with the main or central point of why we are all here—That of sharing that all have been separated from God because of the sins of our forefathers?
3. That we need to get people back to complete communion with God through His son Jesus?
4. That Once we receive this incredible and powerful gift, we are made new?
5. That we are to do the same thing and lead others to the same steps?

Show me anywhere in the Acts Church, or the original Church of Christ, where the disciples first told people to go and take care of the social injustices of the world.
It will not be there.

I agree that the church needs to wake up, but it first needs to wake its behind up for the gospel.

The Acts church didn’t go out and seek social justice even though there were actual slaves in the Roman Empire.

They didn’t seek to have the masters pay retribution for owning slaves.

—What the church did in Acts and the first century was to share the gospel and disciple. There was no protesting or reforming politically.
—They changed the Roman Authoritarian system by converting slave and free, bond servant and master alike.
—The message was simple—all have sinned and fall short of God’s glory.
—Jesus came to be the middle man/God to the Kingdom of heaven
—All must commit and believe in Jesus as the Savior.
—Only the grace and mercy of God can save a person.
—That’s it, we don’t have to march in protest.
—Or picket congressional leaders or Presidents.
—We can’t force social reform without first transforming and renewing ourselves, then our spouses, children, family members, neighbors, then our cities, states and the rest of the world.

Some Christians have so much turmoil at home, but choose to go and change the world first. That is not the proper order Jesus gave His infant Church in Acts.

Cure For Empty Eye Syndrome |Protests 2020

Must be careful:

As I write this, I must be careful not to demean or minimize what has happened to Americans of African descent. I would not be a good Christian if I believed that no wrong has been done to the black community in this country.

The eyes told me everything I needed to know:

I have told as many people as possible, what I originally said about the police officer who murdered George Floyd. It wasn’t that he was a cop who killed a black man. It was a deranged lunatic with a vengeance who killed George Floyd.

The anger, animosity and hate filled eyes told it all. I hope he gets the full weight of punishment for his crime.
—Oscar Roca on George Floyd’s murderer.

If you also see those that call themselves Antifa, you will find the same empty eyes. It’s as if they have lost all hope of living. Their eyes are filled with hate…but more with dispair and hopelessness. We must reach the young people before they get to this point!

There’s a dangerous trend in this country!

|That being said, I have noticed a trend in this country. It’s not a good trend. The trend of intentional separation by ethnicities. Some Blacks want to separate from Whites & some Whites want to seprarate from all non-white people.

Diversity was & is achievable:

When I was growing up, there was diversity in the city of close to 100,000 people. Whites were the majority, hispanics were second, Samoans, Filipinos and blacks were also in our community, but it was not like today. The diversity in my original hometown is mostly Hispanic, White, Black, Filipino, and Samoan, in that order. I don’t live there anymore, but can’t imagine living without such diversity. I played with kids of all ethnicities. There was no ‘us’ versus ‘them’, at least in the area I was in…except, the Mexican American barrios.

I learned that people wanted to keep to their ethnicity on purpose:

In those neighborhoods, it was 99.99% Mexican American. It was so homogenized that only one point of view was ever perceived. The Mexican American kids were in essence, not in tune with all the communities of my city. The neighborhood was small and the people inside of it mainly socialized with each other. Very few Whites or Blacks or Asians entered it. When non-Hispanics moved in, they made the life of the kids miserable. I could not understand why the Barrio friends would not talk to non-Hispanic kids.

I was allowed to go in & out of this neighborhood because I was the same ethnicity & because I had been friends with the Barrio kids since grade school…
—Oscar Roca

What I learned:

Here’s what I learned from both worlds, yes, they were different worlds, and yes, I could tell as young as elementary school.

Let me rewind a bit:

In another small city before we moved to the one above, my family was one of the first Hispanic families to move in.

I was in 2nd grade & could hear the homogeneously white neighbors saying, “Hey mom, look at the taco people!”
—Oscar Roca

Funny because where we lived before this was in Compton, where I played with Black, Japanese and White kids. Yes, the ethnicities I mentioned were almost long gone from Compton, but I still remember playing with these kids. I did not know what race wars were, nor did I care. My small tiny world had been made up of all ethnicities, and one race.

All this to say, wherever I experienced or witnessed ‘racism’ it came when the area I was in, was homogenized into only a majority of one ethnicity.

When Racism takes hold of hearts:

You see, racism takes hold of, cements itself on, and spreads, when one group of people think, act, work with, live close to each other. Anytime kids grow up in 90% __________ (fill in the blank on ethnicity), they begin to think that the whole world is that way. Hispanic neighborhoods without Whites or Blacks or Asian, start to think that the whole world should act and think like that area they are living in.

The way the area thinks, acts, talks like, are intermingled within the community of people.
—Oscar Roca

The solution:

In my case, I was friends with all ethnicities, I did not see color or accents, because the kids around me were of many different ethnicities, financial backgrounds, and all of us got along, except, the kids in the Mexican Barrio. They would hang out, talk to, and walk around isolating themselves from all others.

Did I experience racism? Yes, but I did not let this define who I was, or who all people were, from a small percentage of their ethnicity! I would not be denied the freedom to interact will all people!

Fast Forwart to today:

We have Black Lives Matter, Brown Pride, White Power, etc. They have been around for a long time, but what was fought for in the 60s, by MLK and Chavez, seems so long ago. They were catalysts for inclusion, not separation or exclusion.

All my life I have seen and been witness to a small percentage of ignorant people from all ethnicities that were racists.
—Oscar Roca

Be Careful-Racism comes from all ethnicities:

This demeaning way of thinking is not owned by the White population only. We have to be careful to say this, because I have been called a Beaner, and Wetback in the past by Whites, and other Hispanics. My daughters have heard Blacks call Hispanics donkeys, a derogatory term meaning that Hispanics are the burros of the workforce.

Again, let’s be careful of separating ourselves from other ethnicities in our community. Because Christ warned us that this would happen in the late stages before He would come back. Jesus speaks of separation of ethnicities and warring of ethnicities in Matthew 24:7, you can click above scripture reference.

Nation against nation is not exactly what the Greek says. That verse should read—

|“for Ethnic Groups shall rise up against ethnic groups and leaders of people against leaders of people.”
—Oscar Roca on Matthew 24:7

We are seeing leaders of people paying destructive leaders of people, to cause destruction of other people’s properties. Antifa agitators paying protestors money to destroy properties.

AS CHRISTIANS WE ARE TO:

I am a testament to the power of committing my life to Christ. I have witnessed what transformation and renewal means. What I see in the agitators who have been arrested, is the same thing I have witnessed with the man who killed George Floyd— I call this Empty Eye hatred. There is such hate filled stares in these people, that you know what they are doing is just trying to destroy property, people’s dreams and business for the sake of shutting their rage within their hearts. They have hung around others who have the same mind, that it has become a homogenized way of thinking. They have not received or wanted to receive the other side’s thinking. What we need to do as Christians, is go throughout the world and bring them the Good News of the gospel.

This in turn will bring people the peace people crave but don’t have, can’t attain, or never reach without Jesus in their lives. They will never have peace, nor know it, until their hearts are transformed by & redeemed by Jesus’ saving work on the cross.
—Oscar Roca

Salvation only comes thru Jesus:

The salvation that only comes from a personal commitment and knowledge of what Christ did for them and their sins, dying on the cross. They need to know the love of God that brings redemption through His son’s sacrificial act of dying, taking away their sins through the blood shed on Calvary.

But, if we Christians are just on the TV or Computer screen and see what’s happening, shaking our heads in disgust, while only complaining, without reaching those that are lost, then we will also be at fault. Because by doing nothing about this division, we will be ushering in what Jesus told His disciples. We will be allowing people to war against each other, some dying to everlasting damnation.

Why Not:

Why not go & be the ones to bring change by ushering in Christ’s Love & Grace?
—Oscar Roca

Why not reach those filled with hate, and bring them peace?

Why not reach those that society deems lost and way past redemption in their eyes?

Let’s change that verse through Christ and say—

“For ethnic groups shall love unto another ethnic group, and leaders of people shall send help & love unto other leaders of ethnic groups!”
—Oscar Roca

Let us reach the world for Christ, so that those who are enraged, lost and have empty eyes syndrome be filled with peace, know their way to heaven and have the blessed hope filled eyes to reach others!

God’s getting His CHurch back 2 its Roots! |Tentmaking & Discipleship

BACK to Basics Home fellowships

In the final days that God has planned for us, we are witnessing a sort of going back to the Christian roots revival.

—Oscar Roca

Governments around the globe have closed churches due to this epidemic. The reasons are unknown to most people, but if we Christians truly believe that we are living in the last days, then we will have be be diligent, vigilant, and committed to change.
What some people see as drastic changes in their way of thinking, for me is business as usual.

You see, while most pastors are having to close up shop so to speak, my wife and I are continuing to do what we have been called to do—house fellowship.

—Oscar Roca

We can learn from The Master Tactician:

We Can Learn From The journeyman at work

I’ll explain. Paul was a tentmaker. He worked all day and witnessed to whomever was there working alongside of him. Once the co-workers committed their lives to Christ, he would then disciple them. All from the workplace.

And this was just Paul’s first missionary journey.
All those cities, all that work, all that mission of sharing the gospel to who ever had an ear to hear.
Paul mentions that he worked so that it wouldn’t be a hindrance to people by giving to him. In other words, he said, “I could have taken from the offerings of the churches God gave me to start, but I didn’t so that you could be like me and work for a living, giving the gospel free of charge!” ( I Corinthians 9 & 2 Thessalonians 3 ).

We can Learn from His bi-vocational life

Paul only took money from the church when he was under house arrest, and that was only from the Church at Philippi (4:10-23) who sent him a love gift.
There is something special about Paul, his knowledge of the Word, intensity for the gospel, and the coming along with new converts to disciple them from the start. This is the man who went from persecuting the Church, to dying for Christ.

We can Learn From God—taking His Church to its roots

Paul Learned—From Jesus

Yet, the roots of His Acts Church are built upon only one thing, Jesus Christ coming to earth, growing up as a human being, ministering from city to city, teaching His disciples, dying on the cross and coming back to life 3 days later. Jesus then keeps teaching His disciples and then ascends to the heavens where two of His messengers tell the 500+ disciples—that Jesus will come back and set His feet down the very way He left His disciples.
Jesus had no money (Mat 8:20 ), or Church building, status in the Sanhedrin, nor did He want it.

Jesus taught His disciples to go without money, to have faith they would be taken care of by God, and to go and drive out unclean spirits (<a href="http://Mar 6:7-13) and share that all men should repent for the kingdom had arrived.

We can learn—to wait for The Power of The Spirit

As Jesus ascended, He told his disciples to wait in Jerusalem. The wait was over on Pentecost, when the Spirit of the Living God filled the disciples with such power, that they turned all of the Roman Empire upside down.

Paul also had no church building, or paid staff. He did not take money from the Churches, he went from house to house preaching the Good News of Christ. He would go into cities, establish his trade of tentmaking, work hard, and show people what a Christian was. He had home fellowships and established disciples in all places he went.
Paul was copying Jesus and the disciples and this new Jewish Sect of the Way, changed the Roman world.
Today, we are living through the same dangerous times as the original Acts church. We are being told not to come together and worship. We are being scrutinized throughout the world. Some are dying, some— their churches being destroyed. Yet all of us are still learning the Word, teaching and discipling.

Do not fight this, embrace it! Because this means that Christ is getting His Church ready for another final explosion of disciples before He calls us to our true Church—Heaven.

May you start a home fellowship today and get to discipling anyone who asks for the reason for our hope (1Pe 3:15 )…

Yearning 4 Home! |Father’s Day 2020

18 “And I will be a Father to you,And you shall be sons and daughters to Me,”Says the Lord Almighty.~ 2 Corinthians 6:18 NASB
2 Corinthians 6:18

During this strange Father’s Day weekend, I was reminded of what truly matters.
My son-in-law helped me move some old furniture that needed to be dropped off at the dump.
He had my grandkids with him, who waited patiently in the truck while we fit all the pieces like a puzzle in the truck bed. My oldest is my grandson.

He is my favorite boy in the whole world!

As we were moving the stuff around, I heard my grandson’s voice, it sounded so giddy! I call him my little Buddy. Buddy would say something and then just crack himself up with laughter. He kept this up after we dropped off furniture and during our breakfast. As we got closer to my house, I saw his face, Buddy’s big smile got serious. He knew two things would happen:

One, his dad would park, turn off the engine and open the door. Then he would open the rear driver door and unbuckle Buddy. Then I would get off and do the same for my granddaughter on the rear passenger seat. This meant that Buddy would be going into His Papa’s house, where he could enjoy time doing what we usually do with them, have fun and enjoy walking and running around the neighborhood.

Two, Dad would stop the car, look at papa and say goodbye.
I knew which option Buddy was thinking of. His face said it all. He knew that they were not going into our house. His eyes started welling up with tears. He looked at me, then at dad and started wailing. I felt horrible because I know how much Buddy and his sister enjoy being at Papa and Nana’s house. He was crying so loudly that his sister’s smile became a frown, then it became a cry. My son in law and I looked at each other and tried to console them. A bit later, they had calmed down and I told Buddy and little Grace that I would see them on Sunday for Father’s Day. They both looked at me and had to give me a fake smile. I absolutely love those kids.

4 and He will Awipe away every tear from their eyes; and Bthere will no longer be any death; Cthere will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; Dthe first things have passed away.”
Revelation 21:4

***My heart is glad seeing her with her daddy!***

I saw the truck drive out and went inside feeling convicted. Thinking when the last time was, when I was praying and in fellowship with God, why I did not long for, cried out to, and wanted to be in heaven with my Father?

When was the last time we Christians had such longing to be in our real home?
Then I just stopped and thanked God that my little buddy taught me the real meaning of longing to be with someone important to his little heart. The most important Person in our lives should be God. We should long for the big rooms Jesus has prepared for us. Our true joy will be being with our heavenly Dad in fellowship…and being so giddy that we can’t help but laugh with extreme joy…

…Or cry longing to be in your real home with your your Heavenly Papa!

Happy Father’s Day to all the Daddys of the world!

ComM Minus Unity =Tragedy |Protests 2020

I have waited about a week to post this. We are still having protests around the area. There is much anger on all sides, which is ironic. Anger solves nothing. Debate shoud be the first place to start. Because all lives matter to God.

When you isolate yourself into one community, you are in a sense, doing exactly the opposite of what you claim you are fighting for. God cares about all ethnicities! He sees the color of your spirit & not your skin!

Community

Community is where we buy our food, shop at the local stores, and buy stuff from the mom and pop shops. When people from out of town come in to wreak havoc and incite the mediocre weak minds to cause destruction, it affects the community.

My daughter lives in the area where it was most affected by the weak-minded and ignorant people who canceled out the good that real protestors were peacefully trying to accomplish!

I blame the media. The damage was concentrated in one part of my city, but the media made it out to look as if all of Long Beach was burning…and they continued portraying this nationwide, in other cities besides the epicenter.

THE REAL COMMUNITY UNITY:

The destructive aftermath was overpowered by the love of the community for its own.

My wife and I tried to help out my daughter but could not get there early to help her community. We both had early morning appointments, and by the time we tried to drive down, the traffic was at a stand still!

My daughter later told us that there were more lookie-loos taking pictures and videos instead of helping out.

Hundreds upon hundreds of volunteers went to clean up, my daughter being one of them. We have taught our children always to help and volunteer. This is our Christian ethos.

TALE OF TWO PLACES:

Our neighborhood had a protest. We saw moms and dads, kids, grandparents, and grandkids all protesting the tragic death of George Floyd. The cars passing by honked as a sign of solidarity. They moved from the elementary school they were in, to the main avenue which connects this vast city.

Update yesterday 6-14-2020, we had another protest by our house, this time, it sounded angry! Nothing happened. Yet, in my mind, I think that yelling & screaming will not solve anything.

In our area, there was not one incident of looting, broken windows, or disrespect. The local shops and restaurants remained safe.

If you drive south on the main avenue, about 4-5 miles, you will be in the area devastated by the looting and destruction. This is where you would have caught a glimpse of Tweenies breaking in and looting. You will not see any parent or grandparent around “smacking the fear of Jesus” in them.

DO NOT READ IF YOU’RE EASILY OFFENDED. SKIP TO THE NEXT SECTION PLEASE:

Now, I have said I am a darker shade of brown Hispanic, and I have to say something that no one wants to hear. Because it is neither popular or politically correct.

On this side of my neighborhood, most of those protesting were white, some Hispanic and Black. Most of the kids had their parents with them.

Where all the looting and destruction of property happened, not one parent was seen around. Nor were there any grandparents. All the kids I saw on TV were Black and Hispanic kids. There may have been a few white kids trying to be Antifa, and if they were… still no parents!

WHAT I AM GETTING AT:

We don’t have a Black, White, & Hispanic problem. We have an inactive & parentless problem in America. Because what I saw on the News, was what happens when parents are not active & around their children’s lives.

WE HAVE AN EVEN BIGGER PROBLEM:

What happens when you only teach that it’s survival of the fittest?

A dog eat dog world?

An only the strong survive world?

When all you see on TV portraying most Blacks as gang members and most Hispanics as drug cartel members?

When violence is the way of life in our society?

Where no mention of a higher power is allowed anywhere in this country. Because of a few people who don’t want God anywhere in schools and government? Where they have perverted the original intent of the First Amendment. By not allowing God even to be mentioned in schools or public Institutions?

More on this next post

If you want to be part of the solution, start by getting right with the Almighty God. You don’t have to be perfect or have it all worked out. All you have to do seek God by asking Him to come into your life. Here are a few links where you can get information and answers…

Don’t Let Circumstances Define You! |Graduating Class 2020

A big Congrats to all grads!

This month, like this year, has been unprecedented. We have closed the country down, and most things that have been taken for granted are now, something that when society is normalized, we’ll hopefully cherish.

This month is special for a few reasons. But I want to take the time to congratulate all those who are graduating from High School and College.

And before you tell me I forgot middle school, I did not. I just want to speak to those young people that are now considered adults.

I would tell all of you that you do not allow this unusual way of graduating to define you or your future. This is a small bump on the road that you can either learn from or make it identify you. Learn from this and move on. Life is too short to be bummed out about this! Go on to your next goal!

HIGHSCHOOl GradS:

If you are graduating from high school, this has to be the strangest year for you. All the hard work you have put to is finally going to pay off. The nights of staying up and doing homework. The long practices in your sport or school band or a part-time job. The four years were for you to acclimate yourselves into society. The part-time positions are there for you to work hard, learn from the managers, get extra cash for college, or to buy a car. Whatever the money is for, know that the part-time job and the hard homework was just the beginning.

Some of you may not go into college. You may be learning a trade as soon as this summer. Some have decided to go into the armed forces. Some have decided to travel.

Reach for the stars & you will never fail to grab one! There are too many to fail!

All these things will lead you to one thing—getting more life experiences. Learn from them.

High school is just a small step. Use the learning experience to do better.

For those that worked hard, congratulations, you are now on to a four-year college!

For those of you that did not take high school that serious, congratulations, you now know what you need to do in the two-year college, or technical school, or trade school. There is time for you to get better at what you want to do in life.

For those going in the military, God bless you. Work hard, make it through the boot camp you will be going into. Remember what they are doing to you. They are making you stronger physically and mentally.

COLLEGE GRADS:

If you are graduating from college, you have spent four years doing your best to blend and survive the onslaught of young adult life. Your longer nights of homework, cramming for tests, etc., are behind you. You have done what most want to finish. Now it’s time for you to continue onto more college classes or a new job. Don’t settle for a part-time job unless you are going on to your Masters or Ph.D. Send out your resume to as many companies as you can. If you don’t hear from them, spruce up your resume and keep sending it. If they require experience, ask your part-time job to make you full time and then start sending out your resumes again!

What all of you have done is a good thing. You have learned that you can take steps to achieve your goals. This is what High school and college are. They are there for you to learn academically and also intellectually. Some of you will continue in sports, and some will continue to become doctors, lawyers, teachers. Whatever it is that you are being directed to do, do it with full zest, enthusiasm, and energy!

God knows each star by name, imagine how much more He knows you! He will lead your steps if you ask Him.

But remember to feed your spirits too. The word of God is there for you to gain the most valuable knowledge! It is there to transform and renew you. Whatever mistakes you did, are swiped clean! Whatever you thought you were going to do, may not be what you want to do now. God is directing your paths. Be still and quiet enough to hear His guidance.

Don’t forget GOD

Do not forget God. For those that have never sought out God, now is the time to seek Him. He has been waiting for you. Do not leave this blog without closing your eyes and asking God to start directing your footsteps. Ask Jesus to wipe all the mistakes and wrongs you have done in life clean. I promise you that He will. And you will feel like a new person. Those mistakes, transgressions, or sins that you have done in your life are gone.

Time to start fresh. May this month of graduations, be the month that you are guaranteed a Post-Life Graduation into eternity!

Again, congratulations, and keep running the race of life!

Know Justice—Know Peace |Protests 2020

COMMUNITY—

To many, it’s a sense of belonging.

To a few, it’s a sense of wanting to leave.

Still, to a small minute percentage, it’s a place where you foolishly and childishly destroy your own.

WOULD IT BE FOOLISH TO:

In the early 1940s, Hitler’s Germany wanted world domination. It started invading neighboring countries, and no one did a thing about it.

Was Hitler a bully? Yes. Did Hitler and the Nazis deserve retaliation from the rest of the world? Yes.

But how would it have looked if:

The British started bombing London because Hitler invaded Poland and Chechoslovakia, taking over those lands.

Or the United States declaring war on California, destroying San Francisco, Los Angeles, and San Diego, because they were angry and fed up with Hitler bombing the Allies?

Or Australia destroying all its natural resources to protest what the Germans were doing to the Jewish and Romani people?

HOW SMART TO DESTROY YOUR COMMUNITY:

How ignorant is it to destroy your own community.

Why would someone get so angry that they would burn down stores, houses, community centers, etc.?

MOST OWNERS LIVE IN COMMUNITY:

The same stores where these unwise people have taken their anger on, instead of going to protest 1,900 miles away, where the incident started.

Why are parents allowing the kids to write signs saying No Justice—No Peace?

Do they even know what that means?

Do they realize they are teaching their kids to destroy their community?

I would ask the parents who are allowing their children, no matter the age, if their kids go out and destroy someone else’s property, they will be held responsible for their kids’ immature actions!

A COMMUNITY HOLDS EACH PERSON RESPONSIBLE:

Why? This is what a real community does. It holds people responsible for their actions.

That cop that Killed George Floyd needs to be held responsible by the community he and the rest of the other cops serve.

Justice is not served 1,900 miles away by destroying people’s lives.

Bricks and rocks being thrown into properties in our communities will not bring George Floyd or his family peace and real justice!

Killing others for the sake of getting justice, in itself, is an injustice to those innocent lives.

One corrupt cop who knew George Floyd while working security in a club, doesn’t justify the hateful atrocities done to others.

ELECTED OFFICIAL SHOULD NEVER INCITE VIOLENCE:

I don’t know the whole story, but I do know this, no one, not the protesters, elected representatives, have any right to incite, engender, or go along with violent behaviors. NOT ONE ELECTED OFFICIAL!

Those that turn their heads the other way instead of condemning what these violent protesters have done should be taken out of office immediately. We have lost the ability to know peaceful demonstrations.

NO PEACE AND JUSTICE WILL COME UNTIL:

Jesus tells us that the only peace that transforms people is the peace He gives ( John 14:27 ). There can’t be true peace until individuals come to terms that their hearts are desperately wicked and corrupt ( Jeremiah 17:9 ).

CHRISTIANS NEED TO POINT PEOPLE TO CHRIST:

Jesus tells us that there will always be violent agitators, but not to worry because He has overcome the world, and His followers can too ( John 16:33 ).

As Christians, we need to light up the world for Christ. This darkness is invasive, but Christ is the Light of the world ( John 8:12 ), and His followers will never again walk in darkness.

WHY WE CAN’T JUDGE VIOLENCE:

As Christians, we can’t get angry at the violence we are seeing, the real war has escalated. Satan and his minions have started with deadly force. The forces of evil are not content. They want to take as many people to hell as possible. I know that this word is not popular today.

But hell is still hell. Hell is still admitting poor, ignorant, and violent souls. Hell does not sleep. Hell cares only about one thing— to bring as many people in as possible.

And Satan did not like Pastors defying him by opening up their churches to worship once again!

OUR MISSION IS COMMUNITY:

Our mission is community. Not 1,900 miles away. As the violence escalates, we must also intensify, showing people how to go from—No Peace to Knowing Real Peace. From No Justice to—Knowing Righteous Justice!

Christians turn the violent to Christ. This is the only way we will have people—Know Jesus and Know True Peace!

When this happens, the Unity in Community will be fulfilled….

When Mayors, Governors, and Congressional Leaders are followers, they will do what the crowd mentality tells them to…next post…

Faith is from Heaven — Fear is from Hades |Discipleship Series 2020

Don’t be afraid when God stretches you. Welcome it as a learning and deeper communion with Jesus!

It means that God wants to have you draw closer to Him. When this happens, the spiritual connection gets stronger. Your walk gets longer. Your sights are on the end of your journey instead of the problems along the way.

When God stretches you, it means that you are being trained for something He wants you to go forth by faith on. Instead of running back to your safe place, raise your hand and say, “Here am I send me LORD!” ( Isaiah 6:8 )

When God stretches you, He is training you in His faith in you. Like a good dad, God is right behind, next to, and in front of your every step. Have faith that God will be there for you at every step, and on every step of your journey. Do not be afraid, do not retreat, God is going forth, if He is for us, who can be against us ( Romans 8:31 ).
