| AMERICA REPENT |
| WHEN EVER WE THINK OF PEOPLE WHO ARE IN NEED OF HELP, WE THINK OF THE LITTLE STARVING CHILDREN IN THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES LIKE AFRICA. TRUE, THESE CHILDREN NEED HELP. THE FUNNY THING ABOUT IT IS WHEN YOU GO TO AFRICA, OR ASIA AND PREACH THE GOSPEL, THEY GET FREE. WHEN WE PREACH THE GOSPEL IN AMERICA, PEOPLE GET BOUND.. WE NEED TO REPENT. 1 COR. 1:10-13 READS; NOW I BESEECH YOU BRETHERN, BY THE NAME OF OUR L-RD JESUS CHRIST THAT YOU ALL SPEAK THE SAME THING, THAT THEIR BE NO DIVISIONS AMONG YOU; BUT THAT YOU BE PERFECTLY JOINED TOGETHER IN THE SAME MIND AND THE SAME JUDGEMENT FOR IT HAS BEEN DECLARED UNTO ME MY BRETHEN, BY THEM WHICH IS OF THE HOUSE OF CHIO'E , THAT THERE ARE CONTENTIONS AMONG YOU NOW THIS I SAY, TO EVERYONE OF YOU, SAY, I AM OF PAUL; AND, I AM OF APOLLOS, AND, I AM OF CEPHAS; AND I AM OF CHRIST. IS CHRIST DEVIDED? WAS PAUL CRUCIFIED FOR YOU? OR WERE YOU BAPTIZED IN THE NAME OF PAUL? DOES THIS NOT SOUND FAMILIAR? HOW ABOUT, WE DO NOT SPEAK IN THOSE TONGUES, OR, WE DANCE IN CHURCH. ....... I AM A BAPTIST, I AM PENTACOSTAL, I AM LUTHERN.... WICKEDNESS IS WHAT THIS IS. WHAT ABOUT READING THE BIBLE, AND STUDYING IT, AND RIGHTLY DEVIDING THE WORD OF TRUTH. 1. WE HERE AMERICA LOVE OUR DEMOS. I WAS TALKING TO A CO-WORKER. SHE STARTED TELLING ME ABOUT HER TRIP TO LAS VAGAS. SHE HAD SOO MUCH FUN; GAMBLING AND WINNING MONEY SO, I STARTED TELLING HER, I FOUND OUT THAT I HAD BEEN UNCONSCIOUSLY ALLOWING SECULAR MUSIC TO MINISTER TO ME.. SITTING IN RESTURANTS ETC... I WENT HOME AND STARTED PRAYING. G-D RELEASED ME FROM THREE UNCLEAN SPIRITS THAT NIGHT. SHE ASKED ME NOT TO TELL HER THOSE THINGS. SHE SAID I WAS SCARING HER. I ASKED HER, DO YOU, WATCH HORROR MOVIES? SHE SAID SOMETIMES. I ASKED HER WHERE SHE THOUGHT THEY GOT THE IDEAL FOR SOME OF THOSE THINGS SHE WATCHED. I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT, SHE REPLIED. I ASKED HER WHY DO YOU THINK WHEN YOU GO TO A PLACE THAT SALES ALCOHOL IT READS; BEER, WINE, AND SPIRITS ON THE WALL? SHE HAD NO REPLY. I GOT LIBERTY THIS IS A COMMON STATEMENT I HEAR WHEN TALKING TO CHRISTIANS. I GOT LIBERTY. THIS IS TRUE BUT, WE ARE CALLED TO BE HOLY . THE FIRST THING PEOPLE SAY IS I/WE ARE NOT UNDER THAT OLD TESTIMENT STUFF ANYMORE. WE ARE FREE, SO WE CAN EAT WHAT WE WANT, SAY WHAT WE WANT, WATCH WHAT WE WANT, DO WHAT WE WANT AND "YOU" HAVE NO RIGHT TO JUDGE ME.. I HEAR THIS A LOT. "YOU ARE NOT MY JUDGE". I DON'T WANT TO TELL PEOPLE ANYTHING BECAUSE THE LOVE THAT WOULD CORRECT THEM WILL ALSO BE REJECTED AND IGNORED. a.) WE ARE NOT SUPOSE TO HAVE PREMARITAL RELATIONS. G-D IS SO MERCIFUL HE DID MAKE PROVISIONS FOR OUR LACK OF SELF CONTROL 1COR. 7: 9 IF THEY CON NOT CONTAIN, LET THEM MARRY. MARRIAGE IS GOOD. IN DUETORONMY 22: 28-29; IF A MANFIND A DAMSEL , THAT IS A "VIGIN" AND NOT BETROTHED AND LAY HOLD OF HER AND LIE WITH HER; THENTHE MAN THAT LIES WITH HER SHALL GIVE UNTO HER FATHER 50 SHEKELSOF SILVERAND SHE SHALL BE HIS WIFE,BECAUSE HE HAS HUMBLED HER AND HE MAY NOT PUT HER AWAY ALL HIS DAYS. I ALWAYS THOUGHT THIS WAS HARSH FOR THE WOMAN, ARFTER SHE IS "RAPED" SHE HAS TO BE HIS WIFE, THANK G-D FOR JESUS! REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED TO AMMON AND TAMAR IN, 2 SAMUEL 13:10-32 AMMON WANTED TO LAY WITH TAMAR SO, TRICKED HER INTO COMING INTO HIS HOUSE WITH A LIE OF SICKNESS. SHE BEING OBEDIANT TO HER FATHERS VOICE WENT, AND HE FORCED HER AFTER SHE SUGGESTED TO DO THINGS RIGHT AND HE DESPISED HER. HE HATED HER AND IT WAS HE WHO WAS WRONG. THIS ENDED UP TWO YEARS LATER IN HIS DEATH. THESE THINGS HAPPEN WHEN WE GO OUT OF G-DS ORDER. I AM NOT SAYING THAT ALL THE TIME MARRIAGE IS FIRST, BECAUSE WHEN A MAN LIES WITH A WOMEN THE TWO ARE ALREADY ONE, BUT WE DO HAVE BETROTHAL PERIODS IN WHICH THEIR IS NO TOUGHING,. ABSTAINING INCREASES DESIRE. NOW JUST IN CASE YOU ARE WONDERING, I AM SINGLE AND HAVE BEEN FOR 9 YEARS. AT FIRST, IT WAS HARD BECAUSE I WAS STILL WHACTHING MOVIES WITH NUDITY, AND ROMANCE, AND ALL THAT STUFF THAT IS NOT REAL. ONCE I SHUTDOWN THE MOVIES I BEGIN TO RECEIVE STRENGHT BECAUSE I WAS NOT FILLING MY HEART WITH THAT LUST ANYMORE. I DID HOWEVER HAVE ONE DATE LAST YEAR AND THE ONLY REASON I DID WAS BECAUSE AFTER 9 YEARS YOU START FEELING LIKE A BIG REJECT, ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE ARE 3 MARRIAGES IN ONE YEARS WITH NEW PEOPLE TO YOUR CONGREGATION. I MET THIS MAN WHILE I WAS AT WORK, HE ASKED FOR MY NUMBER I GAVE IT, A VARY TOUGH TIME, FOR ME. WE TALKED ON THE PHONE FOR 8 MOS AND THAN HE ASKED ME OUT, FIRST DATE IN 4 YEARS, OF COURSE, WHAT WAS HIS PLAN; TO LIE WITH ME. WHAT WAS MY HEART TO BE HELD. I PRAYED A LOT DURING THAT TIME AND FOUND MYSELF ALLOWING HIM TO COME TO MY APPARTMENT, A LONE, AT NIGHT , YET I PRAYED FOR G-DS MERCY AND PROTECTION,; G-DS HAND WAS WITH ME AND HE DID NOT ALLOW ME TO BE DEFILED. OH, THE MERCY OF G-D! THAT MAN COULD HAVE DONE ANYTHING BUT G-D DID NOT LET HIM. SINCE THEN, I HAVE KEPT MY EYES ON JESUS THE TRUE LOVER OF MY SOUL AND HE WILL NOT FORCE HIMSELF ON ME. HE IS GENTLE AND CARING THE WAY HUSBANDS ARE SUSPOSED TO BE. DWELLING WITH UNDERSTANDING. |
