Love is what changes hearts



Mr. T had the perfect description of what those who know the truth of the Gospel of Grace believe. I don't think he did it intentionally, but some words he said this weekend at the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony where he was inducted stood out.

Before he gave his speech, he opened in prayer, and then began to express his love and appreciation for his mother. He started by talking of the many sacrifices she made for him and his brothers. He spent an extended amount of time expressing very eloquently what her love felt like to him and how much it meant to him.

After describing the impact her love had for him, he expressed his love for her, with scriptures mixed in, and then he said something very interesting. I am going to paraphrase a little here. He said that his mother's love for him was greater than any peer pressure, stronger than any gang influence.

He wasn't afraid to get a whoopin', he wasn't afraid to go to jail, but his reaction to her love for him caused him to love his mother too much to disrespect her, he loved her too much to disobey her. He loved his mom too much to dishonor her. He said, how can he tell his mother he loves her and end up getting arrested for breaking into someone's house? He'd rather die than disrespect or dishonor his mother, he loved her too much.

You see, it wasn't fear that influenced his behavior or actions, it was love. The sheer magnitude of how much love his mom had for him, caused an outpouring of love from his heart, and that's exactly what empowers you when you know the truth of Grace.

Love.

Love is what changes hearts, what draws people in, what empowers you to just say no to any of the enemy's seduction.

While the church thinks they have to "balance" God's love with fear, they are completely off base and have been deceived. That's why they have a flock that is struggling. Fear will never cause a changed heart, just temporary changed actions.

I say again, love is what changes hearts, what draws people in, what empowers you to just say no to any of the enemy's seduction.

Love is all we need, everyone of us.

The world needs the Real Jesus

When tragedies like mass shootings happen people say that what is needed is "Jesus." This country claims to be a Christian nation. What is it? Just under 80% claim to be Christians in this country? So statistically speaking, they already have the "Jesus" these people speak of. So I wholeheartedly disagree when I hear people saying the country needs their Americanized version of "Jesus." This country is in the state it is in because of the "Jesus" that American churches teach. They teach an American Jesus™, a violent, enemy hating, bipolar, immigrant despising, refugee casting away, vengeance loving, psychopathic, torture lusting, barbaric, over fed, loud mouthed, racist, uneducated blonde haired, blue eyed fraud, that desires comfort and selfishness over servitude and selflessness. So no, this country doesn't need the American Jesus™ that these fools talk about all the time, this country is in fact in dire, desperate need of the &q

A toxic world around us.

You want to know how toxic our world can be? I had a vision yesterday evening where a person was in their shower, they had the water on and were washing themselves all over with the water, just enjoying the moment, I then noticed that the water coming out of the shower wasn't water, it was actually many demons, and the person was just covering themselves with the demons, and rubbing demons all over their body, some even would get in their mouth. I couldn't believe the sight, and I didn't understand what it meant at the time. This morning, Jesus started to explain the vision to me. It was an example of how we are attacked by darkness. Sometimes we are totally clueless of how darkness is coming against us, we have done nothing, they simply are on an assignment and we are their target and we must be sensitive to this. Not paranoid, not walking in fear or looking for darkness behind every corner, simply being sensitive to it. The enemy does prowl around as well, we mus
