Freedom from Slavery!


Just writing this note to let you know what God is doing in my life.

1. God has freed me from the bondage of false self serving relationships!

I have had many relationships with people who I thought were friends, but were really just putting me under a yoke of bondage, and vice versa. God broke that mess and now although I am searching for genuine Christian fellowship, God is called me out of the bondage of depending on Earthly relationships and not on Himself for constant guidance. I didn't know it, but I had fell victim to a false doctrine called "Spiritual Covering" thinking I was the one who was supposed to cover a believer and vice versa, or have that believer in subjection to me or the other way around. I have repented of such an evil way of thinking. Jesus is the Good shepherd and he is able to lead his flock. Jesus said his sheep know his voice, and they do not have to depend on the "prophecies" of men or the advice of worldly counsel to live their lives in Christ. This was a man made discipleship system that does NOT point to Christ.

2. God has freed me from the bondage of religion in my life!

Now before you get all crazy and think I have lost my genuine Christianity, I ASSURE you I am still walking with Christ, I am however letting go of the religious notions that are not based on scripture but on traditions, entertainment, and a false sense of "authority" that has taken root in many church institutions today. I realized many of the lies (some purposely spread, others ignorantly) I have bought from religious organizations such as:
  • Twisting tithing to apply to the New Testament church

  • The "requirement" of attending all church events, gatherings, services, (Twisting Hebrews 10:25) even encouraging husbands and wives to forsake their families, responsibilities, etc. of taking care of their children and ministering to one another in favor of church attendance and leadership responsibilities

  • The love of "leadership" positions and superfluous titles that promote the person(s) rather than Christ such as "Bishop" and "Apostle"

  • The over emotionalism concerning worship that feeds the flesh

  • Being told not to "church hop" and it is better to just fellowship with one group of saints instead of ALL THE SAINTS

  • Your relationship with God is SOLELY based on the works you do, the money you give, and the time you spend at church (LEGALISM)

  • Leaders cannot be corrected or are defended BLINDLY without appealing to a STITCH of scripture, BUT to the emotions

  • The fallacy that you are to be "subject" to your pastor when the bible says it is not for anyone to lord it over the people of God.
etc. etc. etc.

I am tired of folks twisting scripture to their benefit, promoting ungodly doctrines based on traditions etc that put the saints in bondage. I am NO LONGER IN BONDAGE TO "CHURCHIANITY" and is a slave to righteousness in Christ!!!

3. God has freed me from the yoke of slavery from worldly organizations!

I love you all, but I will no longer be in financial, spiritual, and physical bondage to any organization which depends on human traditions and human regulations than that of Christ. (Col 2) No more oaths that bother my conscience, no more pledges that demonically bond me to an oath of secrecy to them and betrays my faith, no more of the hypocrisy of the pledged/skating member and the org's hypocritical stance on it, no more trying to be "pretty" or fitting their stereotypes, no more financial hazing and being fleeced, no more being dictated to by a dictatorial leadership which tells some of you to jump and you do it, tells some of you to miss mortgage payments to pay for an overly priced conference, tells you what sounds you can't make with your mouth, or what limb of your hand you can no longer raise high, the line dances they say you can no longer do, JUST BECAUSE they say so... and they didn't ask you either if you agreed, BUT they will GLADLY take your money and tell you to SHUT UP.... then they threaten suspension and expulsion to silence their critics.... WAKE UP! Thank you Jesus NO MORE SLAVERY TO THEM ANYMORE!

Read the scriptures! There is genuine freedom in Christ and it is so freeing that THE WORD OF GOD doesn't affirm any of the mess that I am now free from.

Thank you Lord for your grace! For God I live and for God I will die... I don't say that lightly... AMEN!

The Adulterer's Way Leads to Death





Just some words for thought. I thought this would bless someone...



Listen to me whoever may see this note. Pay attention to my wisdom, listen well to my words of insight, that you may maintain discretion and your lips may preserve knowledge.

The lips of an adulterer drip honey. They are sweet talkers and know just the right thing to say to push your buttons. Their speech is smoother than oil, dripping in innuendo and perverse language; but in the end, those words lead to death... they are as bitter as gall, sharp as a sharply double-edged sword.

Their feet go down to death; their steps lead straight to the grave, and their ways produce death in every possible way. They give no thought to the way of life that pleases God, no thought to their families or who they hurt, their children, no one, but themselves. They are selfish to the core. It is all about what they want and what they will do to get it. Their paths are crooked, but they are so corrupt and lost in sin they don't even know it, as a fish doesn't know that its wet. These words will save you also from the adulterer, from the wayward spouse with their seductive words. They have left the partner of their youth, their spouses in confusion, ignoring the covenant they made before God. Their house leads down to death and their paths to the spirits of the dead. None who go to into their house and share their bed return to life, or attain the paths of life. No one who touches someone's spouse will go unpunished! No amount of money will quench their anger against you, and they will show you no mercy.

Now then people listen to me; do not turn aside from what I say!

Keep to a path far from them as possible, do not touch! Don't believe their words! Do not go near the door of their house!

This is your lot if you do: you will give your heart, mind, and strength to another and it will not be reciprocated, and your years to one who is cruel and doesn't care about you. Strangers will feast on your wealth and bleed you dry, and your toil will benefit another person's house. At the end of your life you will groan, when your flesh and body are spent and all of your wealth from your youth is gone.

You will say to yourself, "How I hated discipline! They tried to tell me to leave them alone, I didn't listen... How my heart spurned correction! How I chose to go my own way instead of God's way. I would not obey my teachers, my pastor, my elders, my friends, or listen to my instructors.Look what I have done, I have come to the brink of utter ruin and now everyone knows it. Who can heap burning coals into their laps and not get burned? Certainly not me.

"If only I drank water from my own cup, the Spirit of God which resides in me is the living water which shall not run dry, running water from the spirit of God. Instead I let my springs overflow in the streets, my streams of water in the public squares. I should have let them be mine alone, never to be shared with strangers."

If you are married, rejoice in the spouse of your youth. May they satisfy you always, and may you ever be captivated by their love. Why be captivated, beloved, by an adulterer? Why embrace the bosom of another whom is not yours? Are not a man's ways are in full view of the LORD? Does God not examine all our paths and see our ways? Those things which we think are hidden, God sees them all.

Do not be like the adulterer, for their evil deeds will catch them in a snare, because the slavery and chains of their sin hold them fast. The end result will be tragic, they will die for lack of discipline, they lack judgment and will destroy themselves, led astray by their own great folly. They will take you down into the fiery pit forever.

When the blind lead the blind, will they not both fall into the ditch?

Think about it. Pray on it. Don't do it.
