THE SUBTLE ENEMY.. (We are in a spiritual War)
It is no accident that scripture declares that unforgiveness is the only thing that can hinder our fullness of purpose, blessings, and unanswered prayer request petitioned to the Almighty God . "Forgive us "As" we forgive those", is a prerequisite to accessing the freedom of experiencing the best God has to offer. If a person is still harboring unforgiveness of another they cannot be made whole. Luke 11:4
I have seen those whom have made it a priority and are motivated entirely out of revenge and unforgiveness to prove to the other person made a mistake, and desire only to show them "what the other person is missing" for doing them wrong.
But unforgiveness in any form is one of the most common hindrances that prevents a total healing of our insecurities, brokenness, and continued spiritual and natural growth. Satan understands this law of unforgiveness extremely well and has been successful in hindering the healings, restoration, and joy of many lives that have not forgiven others.
He also knows that without the forgiveness of others that we also can not forgive ourselves and this "double-mindedness" causes a separation of righteousness with the Lord because scripture declares, "A double minded man or woman is unstable in all their ways, and to "Not let that man or woman think that they will receive "anything" from the Lord. (James 1:8)
This means we may forgive others, but not forgive ourselves, or forgive ourselves while not forgiving others. This is the essential meaning of "Double mindedness" in scripture. Both of these hindrances must be met if we desire to be set free. (1 John 1:9,10)
Scripture teaches us to hate evil. Learn to Hate Intelligently. Many times we are deceived that people are the source of our anger (hatred) but it is a "spirit" being used by Satan in order to direct us out of Love, and thus out of fellowship with God.
He knows that "unforgiveness", i.e. "Forgive us as We Forgive those who Wrongs us", is an eternal law established and his only weapon against an undisturbed freedom into the provisions and leading of God.
If Satan can deceive us that it is the "person" that has wronged us, without understanding and knowing that the devil himself found the opportunity to use that person (as he has used and deceived all of us at one time or another), we will be stagnated in a state of "cursing's" when abundant blessings are waiting to be released with marvelous overflowing within our lives.
Diverting his wiles away from himself, Satan has planned throughout our entire lives, from the head of demonic agencies to the lower workers to send certain people into our lives to gain our confidence and to let us down that he may deceive us into a state of unforgiveness. He understands that this is the primary hindrance to the miracles of the Lord visiting others lives. He is still using old Tricks on new People.. don't be hindered with unforgiveness. It is a choice and not a feeling.. Matt. 6:12...
Be Blessed, Stay Blessed, by Being a Blessing to others.. Luke 6:38

In Memoriam to a Great Man of God..
Reverend Ike (June 1, 1935 — July 28, 2009) was an American minister and electronic evangelist based in New York City. He was best known for the slogan "You can't lose with the stuff I use!"
By K. Campbell Candela.. aka "Brother Bleu"
“And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel for this work be of men, it will come to naught. But if it be of God, you cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God. “
Acts 5: 38,39
“I Am Not Other People’s Opinion.” Rev. Ike..
I think that popular African American “word of faith” ministers and their ministries are based upon the same "grace" and principles that Rev. Ike expressed some forty years ago. Yet, few are willing to associate their faiths with his ministry.
Rarely are the "signs following" of miraculous physical healings that happened in Rev. Ike’s meeting, together with all the financial, spiritual, and economic works of this minister are emphasized or published. It reminds me of how many of today’s ministers good works are persecuted or overlooked because they are wealthy men.
It seems to me that Rev. Ike emphasized the same "Christ within you” posture, together with the "faith speaks", and the reciprocal law of sowing and reaping appropriations, that clearly anchors the “new millennium” Black preacher’s ministries today. He pioneered this kind of ministry some 40 years ago in the face of traditional “White Christianity interpretations” of scripture during the most turbulent times of “colored people” in America where hatred, racism, prejudice, the civil rights and Black power movements were also protesting against other injustices and complacencies.
But unlike the African American ministers involved in the charismatic ministries today, the sagacious Rev. Ike had to implement his ministry without the camaraderie of Caucasian associates to support and vouch for his beliefs.
Although he was a mentor and good friend to the well known comic, actor Bob Hope, and a good friend and mentor to the author of the “Chicken Soup for the Soul” book series Mark Victor Hansen , (who has sold over 100 million books to date), there were not many Caucasians that wanted to be associated with Rev. Ike because of the controversy surrounding his ministry..
Today, the charismatic ministry of Kenneth Copeland and his associates include several Black charismatic preachers (Dollar, Thompson, Winston, Hilliard, Butler, Price, and others) that should commend and recognize Rev. Ike as courageous enough to preach a gospel of well being and prosperity during his era. When it was more popular and common place to proclaim - the “we’ll get our rewards on the other side of the bank” doctrines of the Gospel, Rev. Ike spoke symbolically of scripture when literal translations were being emphasized, encouraged, approved, and accepted by default within the African American Religious circles.
Ironically, many Caucasian ministers that were mentored by those that criticized, shunned, and were offended that a "colored" preacher would declare such heresy, (it is clear that they did not understand Rev. Ike’s revolutionary approach to the Gospel in the 1960’s...let alone Black people in general), are now proclaiming extremely similar beliefs, and are labeled as “Daddy rich” preacher's, just like Rev. Ike was..
I believe the reason that the “new millennium” Black Charismatic preachers disassociate themselves with Rev. Ike is because they do not want the stereotypical tags of “Daddy rich” (Made popular in the movie "Car Wash" with comedian Richard Pryor) that were tagged on Rev. Ike during his era.
Well, it is too late. Whether they acknowledge it or not, they also are being persecuted and hated in the same manner, for the same beliefs. And with the more sophisticated ways of persecuting, blaming, and accusing through modern technology, even more so. Although many charismatic ministers today have been exonerated from any wrong doings following senate investigations and indictments concerning their wealth, Rev. Ike was one of the first to be exonerated from these same accusations as well..
Nevertheless, it seems to me that many Black preachers have stepped into the same faith boat as Rev. Ike but are reluctant to acknowledge him as a brother in Christ. The only difference between their ministries is that they have white counterparts that are ministering the same gospel with them, and also vouch for them.
Other than perhaps Oral Roberts and Norman Vincent Peale, indeed, Rev. Ike is one of, if not the most courageous pioneers of the positive thinking, “prosperity gospel” sharing. Yet, unbeknownst to today’s practitioners of the prosperity gospel movement, they too are 'indirect' disciples of the same optimism and hope that Rev. Ike spearheaded into mainstream religious circles of America some four decades ago. The amazing thing is that this movement is still gaining strength and acceptance with believers not only in America, but world wide as well. The reason this is so is because Rev. Ike's teachings were and are based upon scripturally sound biblical foundations.
“And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel for this work be of men, it will come to naught. But if it be of God, you cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God. “ Acts 5: 38,39
Scripture teaches,
"Let another speak of your character & good works
that the Father doeth through you and not thine own self.
Reverend Ike (June 1, 1935 — July 28, 2009) was an American minister and electronic evangelist based in New York City. He was best known for the slogan "You can't lose with the stuff I use!"
Frederick J. Eikerenkoetter II was born in Ridgeland, South Carolina, and was of African American and Dutch-Indonesian descent. He began his career as a teenage preacher and became assistant pastor at Bible Way Church in Ridgeland, South Carolina. After serving a stint in the Air Force as a Chaplain Service Specialist (a non-commissioned officer assigned to assist commissioned Air Force chaplains), he founded, successively, the United Church of Jesus Christ for All People in Beaufort, South Carolina, the United Christian Evangelistic Association in Boston, Massachusetts (which was his main corporate entity), and the Christ Community United Church in New York City.[citation needed]
Known popularly as “Reverend Ike,” his ministry reached its peak in the mid 1970s, when his weekly radio sermons were carried by hundreds of stations across the United States [3]. He was active on the Internet and in a syndicated television program.[citation needed]
He fully restored and owned the Christ United Church (“Palace Cathedral”) in Manhattan's Washington Heights section, formerly the Loews 175th Street movie theatre. Restorations included the seven-story high, twin chamber Robert Morton organ). The “Miracle Star of Faith,” visible from the George Washington Bridge, tops the building’s cupola. He was also the “chancellor” of the United Church Schools, including the Science of Living Institute and Seminary (which awarded him, his wife, and his son Doctor of the Science of Living degrees); the Business of Living Institute (home of Thinkonomics); and other educational projects.

Thinking From Your Born Again Spirit
The reason Christians are living defeated lives is because they don’t know who they are in their spirit. When you rely on the free gift of Grace to reveal this to you, then you will know who you are in Christ Jesus and it will keep you from accepting defeat and empower you with joy & boldness to take & experience what is rightfully yours in Christ. Hallelujah!

It's Happening Now!....
The Whole earth shall be ( "is being") filled with the Knowledge of God..
This "experiential knowing" is being revealed "within" every believer. (The Kingdom of God is Within You).. Get to know the "real you", which is What God says about you: The Father: reveals whom you are, Jesus: reveals your assignment, The Holy Spirit: supplies the power source we release.. God is Good Period!! 1 Jn 4:8 .
The thing that is in opposition to this last days move of God is the "Borrowed Beliefs" people have accepted from decades of religion, earthly teachings, & ignorance of the Goodness of God. No one can know it from the "outside-in." Gods goodness is hidden within believers, not in buildings, feelings, or our issues.
This "perfect" understanding of God's Love for you "individually", (then it will be expressed collectively), will cast out the fear that God is not Good. When you know that God is Good, and is in you, you then posses the byproduct to flourish without pessimism and influence from the world's evil. It is the entrance into the supernatural.
People that enjoy their lives more than they loathe it have an innate understanding of the goodness and love of God. It's All Good. This understanding did not come from religion because religion teaches God is mad at everybody. They believe goodness is in the arts, culture, and their hopes through "their word." They have no fear in their hopes. Religious people fear that they are "Amazing." Real People do not..
(Come out from among them and be ye seperate, and touch not the unclean things(anything opposite to the reality that is already in you in Christ) and I will receive you unto myself; and you shall be sons and daughters to me and I will be a Father to them says the Lord).
Focusing on one's issues, circumstances, lack,and others opinions more than God's reality within you will only bear the fruit of your focus..(inner-self-talk (the heart).. See yourself in Him on Purpose!! (by the Word of God ....not Borrowed Beliefs)
________________________________________________________________________
True Worship
When we worship God we fellowship with Jesus. True worship is not singing songs about Jesus. True worship is worshipping "with" Jesus and "in him." Just as the joy "of" the Lord is not getting happy "about" him but acknowledging and receiving the exact same joy Jesus has now, worship functions the same way. Jesus still worships the Father, in that the Father is his "best friend" and confidant" that supplies all of his majesty, goodness, and Love into the person and existence of Jesus Christ.
As we worship the Father in "spirit" and in truth, we understand that we are spirits just as Jesus is and connect with the Father in a more intimate discourse, "in Him.".

"God Loves the Sexually Disenfranchised"
The following was a comment left on the 700 Club Christian Web Site by a gay person Desperate for attention..
greaseohio please ................support gay marriage....GOD loves gay..they deserve the right to get married....Amen
...The following was my response to a comment left on the 700 Club Christian Web Site to the gay person Desperate for attention..God does Love gays! With all of your getting, get understanding.
This desperation of yours is clear that you are seeking approval from "men" to support your beliefs. Religious hypocrites in scripture that sought the approval of men more than the approval from God were the very ones Christ "rejected." They wanted to be noticed, respected, praised, and encouraged for their "personal religious agendas". To take the time to post such a frivolous comment screams that you have no idea what true acceptance is nor the core of "Christian" ethics.
First and foremost, understand that "Christianity" is soley based upon the Holy Bible and scripture. Although scripture does mention penalties against same sex relationships, it does not record in any instance the condoning of same sex marriages.You will not have to "promote" your agendas if God has condoned it. If you reject that scripture is the key to understanding, then you are denying the very thing that can make you the powerful person that the blood of Jesus paid for you to be.
This is what scripture teaches:....Acts 5: 38, 39.."And now I say unto you, refrain from these men, and let them alone; for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nothing: But if it be of God, you can not overthrow it; lest haply you be found even to fight against God."
If you are "in the mix", you won't need to promote it. It will manifest if it is right.Asking "Christians" to support gay marriage is like Blacks pursuing reparations from slavery. You are seeking appproval from the wrong angle.
When you simply accept what Jesus Christ did for you on the Cross from the heart (only believe) instead of demanding that the "intellect", feelings, and emotions (Soul) be applauded and merited, the desire to be "recognized" for "what you want to be true will be replaced with a genuine relationship with and in "The Truth." Truth is not a "What" it is a "Who." Jesus Christ said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life."
When you understand that no one can please God in the "flesh" (feelings, emotions, intellect) and that you are the answer to the world's dilemma (in Christ), and are not a product of God's mistake or nightmare, God will not fail in releasing to you a transformation from the "inside out" through the Spirit of God coming to live its life within you. You need only to simply "ASK" Jesus Christ to live his life inside you. When any agenda is of God (light and Love) you won't need or seek the approval of anyone. You will have no need to seek acceptance from others to justify your own agenda, which is the true definition of "religion"..
Jesus Christ, the apostle Paul, and Martin Luther King, Jr did not seek approval for in their agendas. They were all persecuted for speaking against the "grain" and popularity of self seeking agendas during their times. All of their causes were completed because they did not seek approval from men for their agendas but were based upon a power within them that "got the job done." I challenge you to simply ask Christ (Grace) to transform you from the inside out and your agenda, if it is God (Grace, the power of God), will "forcibly" change the outward circumstances. The Grace of God is that Powerful! God is Love, not mad at anyone.
By the Way... Seven years ago I did the eulogy and burial ceremonies for my first cousin whom was murdered in St. Louis, Mo. at the age of 36. He turned to homosexuality at the age of around 12 or so as a way to be accepted and to fulfill an emptiness he said. ( I saw manifest in him earlier but had on power to help him then) Three months before his death, I led him to Christ as his personal savior in my home." He taught me a lot as to the "whys" and the deceptions that can so easily blind those that choose this lifestyle.
Acts 5: 38, 39.."And now I say unto you, refrain from these men, and let them alone; for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nothing: But if it be of God, you can not overthrow it; lest haply you be found even to fight against God."
This was a response from a supposed "Christian" commenting to the Gay Personspirituallythere..................... As God fearing Christ loving believers we absolutely cannot support gay marriage.God calls it an abomination in His sight.He went further to say for this cause He gave them up to a reprobate mind because they did not like to retain Him in their knowledge.Listen.God certainly loves the people but He hates the sin.
MY COMMENT TO THIS RELIGIOUS PERSON
..brotherbleu..(If God treats his children the way this person believes, God should be turned over to the child abuse authorities. God is Love, 1 John 4:8. If God hates sin then the blood of Jesus was not enough to appease the wrath. God did something to eradicate "hatred." The blood of Jesus paid for all the sins of the world for all eternity. Just one drop of Jesus' blood is enough to pay for every sin throughout time! But he shed it all that you and me can have a life of grace and power. It is not conditional. It need only to be accepted.We do not have to threaten Gays with Hell. They already know that. (Romans 1:20-23)They need to know the "Love of God.".. Perfect Love casts out fear."The Love of God is in the simplicity of accepting Jesus Christ as savior and Lord.. Christian Haters do not personally minister salvation to those who differ in their beliefs and religious lifestyle.Few "Christians" know that the word "Judgement" in the New testament is always translated "Deliverance" and not "punishment"..) Did you know you can have a "judgement for $80 million dollars? This person is obviously motivated by "Borrowed Beliefs" (Sounds like a Clone) and not inspired and sealed through an experiential, personal knowing and experience of the Love and Grace of God.( I do not think that the person commenting above have a committed ministry to gays.
"Fasting does not bring people to Christ. Preaching the gospel of the Kingdom to them does! Fasting stifles and "gets rid of unbelief" and "fear". Believers cast out demons. (Jesus said the disciples could not cast out the seizure presence in the young man, "Because of their Unbelief and "this kind of "Unbelief" can only be eradicated but by fasting (Is. 58:6-14) and "Saying", authoritative prayer.. ( Not "Help me Rhonda" kind of praying.) Jesus had already given us power to tread on ALL serpents, scorpions, and power over ALL the enemy. Fasting ushers believers into their spiritual presence to perceive in the spirit , and by faith bypass or "disregard" physical appearances.
Acts 5: 38, 39.."And now I say unto you, refrain from these men, and let them alone; for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nothing: But if it be of God, you can not overthrow it; lest haply you be found even to fight against God."
