Approach Jesus no matter how alienated you feel

The Lord wants to encourage people who feel out of touch in their prayer life, thinking they can't muster fervent effectual prayer. One might feel so alienated from the Lord that praying seems out of reach. The Lord is always available to you to pray to and ask forgiveness of.


Psalms 51:1-6 NLT

1 Have mercy on me, O God, because of your unfailing love. Because of your great compassion, blot out the stain of my sins.

2 Wash me clean from my guilt. Purify me from my sin.

3 For I recognize my rebellion; it haunts me day and night.

4 Against you, and you alone, have I sinned; I have done what is evil in your sight. You will be proved right in what you say, and your judgment against me is just.

5 For I was born a sinner—yes, from the moment my mother conceived me.

6 But you desire honesty from the womb, teaching me wisdom even there.

Prayer requests from this night on Lyft -

Amber - that the Lord protect her from the idols of this culture for a young teenager and that He call her using the tract she received. That those words minister to her Salvation in Jesus Christ.
Loran - that the Lord touch her heart through our conversation, the tract she received, and that the Lord clear the way in her life for devotion to Him

Teaching about walking in Truth rather than error

Here's a teaching about walking the Christian walk. I believe He inspired me showing that I can't play around with what is not of God and claim to be of God.

I Corinthians 10:20-22 - No, but I say that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God; and I do not want you to become sharers in demons. You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons. Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? We are not stronger than He, are we?

Christian Books

Isaiah 65:10-12 - “Sharon will be a pasture land for flocks,
            And the valley of Achor a resting place for herds,
            For My people who seek Me.

      “But you who forsake the LORD,
            Who forget My holy mountain,
            Who set a table for Fortune,
            And who fill cups with mixed wine for Destiny,

      I will destine you for the sword,
            And all of you will bow down to the slaughter.
            Because I called, but you did not answer;
            I spoke, but you did not hear.
            And you did evil in My sight
            And chose that in which I did not delight.”

Starting the Moral Revolution

We must pursue a life of righteousness through the Holy Spirit. The fruits of the Spirit, listed in Galatians 5:22-23 are evident in the lives of those walking by the Spirit. Grace empowers us to live righteously according to God's written Word.

The Basics of Salvation

Here are the basics of salvation you need to know and preach at all times to everyone -

Psalms 53:1-3 - The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God,”
            They are corrupt, and have committed abominable injustice;
            There is no one who does good.
      God has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men
            To see if there is anyone who understands,
            Who seeks after God.
      Every one of them has turned aside; together they have become corrupt;
            There is no one who does good, not even one.

Christian Books

John 3:16-21 - “For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him. There is no judgment against anyone who believes in him. But anyone who does not believe in him has already been judged for not believing in God’s one and only Son. And the judgment is based on this fact: God’s light came into the world, but people loved the darkness more than the light, for their actions were evil. All who do evil hate the light and refuse to go near it for fear their sins will be exposed. But those who do what is right come to the light so others can see that they are doing what God wants.

Starting the Moral Revolution

Romans 1:21-23 - For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures.

Romans 6:23 - For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 10:9-13 - If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.  For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved.  As the Scriptures tell us, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be disgraced.” Jew and Gentile are the same in this respect. They have the same Lord, who gives generously to all who call on him.  For “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

Prayed for man in Safeway parking lot

The Lord led me to a man, Steve, who had an injured hip, had medical bills from a recent stroke, and his car battery had died. In talking to him to help start his car we prayed for his issues, he did know the Lord from growing up Catholic, and his car started at the conclusion of the prayer without needing jumper cables. He said he knew the car would start without the jump from the prayer.

God is Great !!!!

True followers of Christ need to seperate

So the Lord let me know that 2017 starts the process of separation in the House of God, the sheep from the goats, the wheat from the tares, the Light from the darkness - holiness is this separation. I posted the prophecies on my Facebook Christian Tutor Profile.

The Scriptures to focus on are 

• 2 Corinthians ch. 10-13 
• 2 Peter ch. 2
• Isaiah ch. 58
• James ch. 2 and 3 

All this is to say check your walk with Christ as stated in 2 Corinthians 13. Are the fruits of righteousness evident in your life? Is the fellowship you are devoted to headed by Christ or people that claim to be representing Christ? Where is the fruit? If the evidence of Christ, which are the works of faith, are not evident in the lives of those in the assembly then a false gospel is being preached there.

God is the God of the Living not the dead, Jesus had to tell this to the Sadducees, Scriptural experts who lived in Error. They were the religious elite who ran the temple, were covetous, and in league with the political military elite heathens. At this time you need to separate yourselves from the crowd following after blind guides, wolves in sheep's clothing training the simple, the carelessly at ease trained to be goats in the crowd crying Lord, Lord as in Matthew 7:21. God's people will be destroyed for a willful lack of knowledge - Hosea 4:6

The separation is starting now in the House of God, you need to be working out your salvation in fear and trembling. The real followers of Christ walk as Christ walked. We all need to spend time in front of the mirror of God's Word (James 1:22-25) instead of the deceit of men's doctrines and ask the Lord what are the weeds needing removal. Don't fall for the deceit of church status being salvation.

The Lord heals man of Leukemia

I received an update from a sister at church two Sundays ago about a young man who worked for a brother at our church. He had a leg that became inflamed, he was from Mexico and approached the problem from a traditional way from where he grew up. Unfortunately, that meant he went to a witch that promised to "heal" him and took a fair amount of money from him. Once our brother found out what was going on, he was able to minister to him. The man received Jesus and was born again and started a year long battle of faith. A group from church met regularly to pray with the young man in the hospital. The inflamed leg was compounded with a diagnosis of Leukemia and then chemotherapy, we also knew the demonic infestation from the incantations of the witch were at work.

At one intercessory prayer meeting I was sharing with the brother about what the Lord was teaching me in regard to spiritual warfare and healing. He realized the Lord was showing me what needed to be applied to the young man's case, so he invited me to the weekly prayers at the hospital. The first time we prayed for him, the Holy Spirit manifested quite a bit. I saw the demonic influences on him burning off of him and evaporating like black steam as the Holy Spirit manifested as nuclear heat. He had recovered a lot from only 20 minutes of prayer like that.

So we continued to pray for him for the next 6 months, and as of two Sundays ago the sister informed me that the doctors could find no trace of the Leukemia it was completely gone. The young man had recovered quite well, we are now continuing with prayer for the remaining inflammation in his leg and recovering from the chemotherapy.

Also a few months back when this sister and I went to the hospital to pray for the young man we met a beautiful young lady who was going through a crisis. She ended up accepting the Lord, getting filled with the Holy Spirit, and joining us in prayer. It was such a beautiful encounter we were able to capture some of it on video here

The solution to every human issue is the Gospel

The Lord spoke to me about this lesson last night, since someone was asking me about current events. The Body needs to sharing the Gospel with everyone all the time, they need to be living it and talking about it with others. The problem is sin and the Gospel solves sin.

Tone down the knowledge get into the Lord's presence

The Lord talked to me a bit about knowledge and how it puffs up if the end goal is not Love. Knowledge is needed as a defense against deception, ironically being devoted to knowledge without love makes one puffed up to where the knowledge becomes deceptive. Thinking that you know will puff you up to where you'll be self-deceived by your own knowledge - the cure is being humble before the Lord and knowing that you don't actually know anything. If you do know anything it is because God revealed it to you, there's no boasting on your part - otherwise one only thinks they know something when they don't - they are thinking of themselves more highly than they ought to think.

So, based on this there's way too much focus on teaching in the Body of Christ, teaching, correcting, sheparding - it's disgusting really it is so bad. There is always need for good teaching, impartation, rebuke, correction, and instruction - then lay off the scolding stick. The focus is love, correcting someone in love is great, needed, and hard to do correctly. What I'm referring to is correcting people for the sake of the thrill of correcting someone - putting others down to make oneself feel good. I've been the target of it and seen it way too much, even early on been the perpetrator of it because I was taught wrong. People need to be honest about their insecurities, making oneself feel good at other's expense is what someone needs if they haven't worked through their sin nature with Christ. In groups like this, people use knowledge, authority, and correction as a badge to step on others in the Name of Christ - it's disgusting, the Lord hates it. Also, when the focus is so much on teaching and classroom experience - the actual Gospel doesn't get lived and shared. This is the deception of being a dead church, the Gospel is heard and not done, people have a form of godliness without living the power of the Gospel. It is an assembly of Walking Dead, Name Only Christians - the Gospel has been abstracted by so much talk that it isn't real, it is a topic of conversation not the Resurrected Power of Life on display.

The Solution is getting in God's Presence, when you do wrong and get into the Lord's Presence He'll rebuke the wrong off of you. Depending on how attached to the wrong doing you are you'll receive the rebuke along with it. It can be scary but the alternative is living in sin thinking you are godly, not an option in any worthwhile book. Often the puffed up biblical scholars don't often get into the Lord's presence which is how they get that way, being in the Lord's presence is humbling. So the Lord had me put together a playlist on YouTube to get people to tune out the world and get into the Lord's Presence. Turn it on, let it minister to you, let it play and meditate on all the words and music, let the Lord speak to you during this time. Go ahead and get the songs going in some other format so you can listen to them straight through without ads, they are all listed here so you have a good list for reference.

Teaching - Is Jesus getting what He paid for in you?

After a mishap at a lunch place today, the Lord dropped this teaching on me to share. Take it in, pray about it, and start making the corrections needed.

The Lord working with me on my Lyft and Uber rides a few months back

I believe it was around October 2016 when I received a prayer cloth during Intercessory Prayer and was charged with using it. So I did as I was instructed soon after.

On one Uber ride in Oakland, Ca a woman from Africa named Ada came on board. After a brief talk she let me know she know she had surgery coming up for her knees. She didn't have any cartilage in both her knees, I knew this was the Lord letting me know to use the prayer cloth. We prayed and she was crying  saying she was feeling the Holy Spirit healing her knees. The Lord prophesied further that she would not need the surgery and that it would a witness to the doctors of Jesus Christ. She was crying so much telling me how bad she needed this entire encounter and she blessed me to keep doing what I doing.

I went to pick up my next ride on International Blvd. The person never came out but I kept getting propositioned by the street walkers. I was pumped from the previous encounter so I felt the Holy Spirit telling me to minister to these ladies. I found two who grew up in church, one said her mom was a pastor. I ended up not making much visible impact at the time, but the last lady I talked to was thankful for my request to pray with her. I ended up traveling in the spirit back to these streets later when I followed up on the encounter in intercessory prayer - that was the first time the Lord manifested that tool in my prayer life.

A month later, the Lord had me approach another young lady participating in human trafficking. We prayed together and she was delivered of a few things. She was very enthusiastic at the end of the prayer and blessed me, she exclaimed she felt surrounded by angels at the end of the prayer. I had been around that area around that same time of the early morning later, and I never saw her out doing that again so I have faith the Lord delivered her.

A few days later, I prayed with a young man who grew up Catholic for headaches resulting from a malformed spinal disc and to receive Jesus in the spirit rather than through religion. He received it all, using the prayer cloth again. The miracles on the prayer cloth kept building.

One thing the Lord just dropped on me now as I write this, as you can see the Lord is working through people submitting to Him. If you are not one of them, you are receiving His Grace in vain. You have to be doing your part in this massive work of the entire Body, otherwise you are bearing no fruit and have a dead faith. Don't listen to the excuses - you are either alive or dead to God - no fruit to God means you are dead and need to repent to come alive.

The Song of the Lord 01/29/2017

Here's a song the Lord gave on me last night, awesome about the Truth of living for Christ

The Lord's teaching on Purity, He gave me

The Lord gave me a teaching on Purity that I was able to publish as my first book. It walks you through the principles of living a Pure life through the Holy Spirit using biblical principles. This is needed today as immorality is being promoted as a standard of living. The approach is one of Love, one lives a Pure Life motivated by Love of God, self, then others. Satan's lie about carnality being Love is the a core issue being debunked in this book. Check it out and recommend this link to others on social networks, spread the needed teaching on Purity -

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LYX2XJ4

Here's the group the Lord had me start in regard to this teaching, He's such a Genius - after I published the book He told me "now start a new sexual orientation group to go with the book - "Pure for the Lord Jesus Christ"

Lyft and Uber Testimonials of the Lord Jesus Christ 01/25/2017

The Lord is so smart, I had no idea that working for Uber and Lyft was part of my Evangelical calling and training but yes it has been.

I have progressively been witnessing to my passengers and learning how to witness for Christ in my ride shares over the past 3 years. Patience, loving enemies, and following laws has also been a big lesson in this job. The Lord in His Wisdom knows what He's doing for sure. Here's a few summaries of my last few rides.

Shana, a lovely sister and talented singer received prayer and is now on fire to sing for the Lord. The Lord prophesied over her that her voice will be anointed to deliver people as soon as the sound of it hits their ears, as David's harp playing cast out the unclean spirit that tormented Saul - 1 Samuel 16:23. Check out her website, bio, and sample music here - www.shanadinha.com

Lisa, I picked her up from the hospital in San Francisco she had a neck injury that required surgery. The Lord opened a door to share with her Christ's work in my life and she was saying that she was looking for a Pentecostal church recently. The Lord then directed me to pray for her with the anointed prayer cloth and oil in my glove compartment. She received healing and has continued to receive it while maintaining contact with me. She increases in Scripture reading and prayer everyday.

The Lord manifested an Angel to my Uber passenger and myself a couple of Saturdays ago. Then He allowed her to take a picture of the angel. The Lord ministered prayer and prophesy for 9 people that day through me, the angel manifested at 9 in the morning. Later that night, I went to show this photo to a young lady that had an unclean spirit of drunkenness and rebellion, she bolted out of the car and left the door open as I reached back to show her and her boyfriend this photo. This photo has an anointing on it. Here's the Pic -

Lakshmi, a young lady the Lord led me to in the mall working at a Jewelry place. We prayed and she accepted the Lord as Savior and Lord. We prayed for restoration, godliness in her relationship with her boyfriend and her baby.

Malicha, a young lady I gave a ride to work last Friday morning. She was so hungry for the Word and getting to know Christ - I was blessed to give her pamphlets and information to local Christian churches. Her mother was devoted to the Lord and the Lord made sure her daughter had an encounter to further her into living for the Lord.

Tyschel, a young lady that needed prayer in regard to her walk with God. She was being pulled at by worldly influences, the Lord strengthened her with prophesy in regard to the healing of her grandmother and prayer for a coworker in regard to employment.

Share the Love of Jesus, the Evangelist calling

I'm called to be an Evangelist for the Body of Christ. As part of the five fold ministry to the saints, I go out and find the saints when they're wandering around in the dark world as well as exhort other members of the Body to do the same.

Being an evangelist for Jesus Christ

There's no excuse not to share the love of Christ when it is so easy - send people to this website by giving them this URL.

http://reallove.org/listen/

Go there yourself, listen to the testimonies and music. If you are in anyway near to God I don't think there's a way to ignore what is said. It's a good site to promote the Gospel; also good for people falling away and being dragged into the lies of the world. Another category of people who need these testimonials are people who have been stuck in a church routine for too long. The dead works of false piety kills off compassion. Christ doesn't care about your Pharisaical Robes, how much you fast, how long you pray, or how you measure yourself to Him - beat your chest and beg God to have Mercy on you, that's a humble and contrite heart. Luke 18:9-14

Remember that no one can come to Christ unless the Father draw them John 6:44, the Father draws people who have a respect for righteousness and love. Your job is to get the information out to people at all times, you are spreading seed all the time. You don't repent for people or accept the Gospel for people, that's their choice. You spread seed and move forward as the person allows and seeks.

You need to love people all the time the way Christ loves, doing so brings people closer to the Truth. That's the point of being an Evangelist, to show the love of Christ at all times as an ambassador. You have to be an example of Christ by living Christ within you, when you have the opportunity to speak you do so. The strongest witness is handling any given situation like Christ would, because He taught you how personally - Acts 4:13.

Introduction About this Blog

I was given a prophetic word last night after Bible Study to start this blog. The Lord has led me to write and publish the many testimonies regarding Him that I've been a part of. So here you'll find teachings and inspirational testimonies on living for Jesus Christ.
