Decision Decision ... More Decisions

Every day we are faced with many decisions. What should one do? How to go about accomplishing the many things we need to do. Fashion your thoughts. Contemplate your words. Think about your actions. Ponder your reactions. Evaluate your decisions. How to be at peace with the choices you make. Decision. Decision. Decision. And more decisions. Every single day life happens. Life comes at you. We each have to arise, move forward, and meet life as it comes. One must stand up. One must live a meaningful, functional existence. It is good to decide early where you stand in these matters, of life. Decide what you will stand for. Determine who will stand with you. At the Do It For Christ Ministries, we have a pledge. We pledge allegiance to Jesus. We preach total surrender to the Lord, Jesus Christ.

DOITFORCHRIST CHRISTIAN PLEDGE

Sons and Daughters of the Living God, raise your hands and repeat the Christian pledge: 

"As of today, I vow to make Jesus Christ first, middle, and last. Jesus will be the first person I talk to in all my situations. Christ will be the middle-man in all my negotiations. Jesus Christ will be the last point in all my conclusions. This is my vow. My solemn vow. So help me God."

I encourage you to commit to saying the Pledge daily. Commit to putting into practice the statements therein. The Do It For Christ Christian Pledge is lodged on the ministry’s website, and on all ministry's outlets, as well as in our various print media publications. 
Many blessings to you. My Friend, live your life for Jesus. Do it for Christ.

Deeply Rooted

What is your religious belief? Who is your Religious Leader? Is the founder of your spiritual conviction—the head of your Faith—living today? Can you find peace and joy after spending time in the presence of your religious leader? Does the god you worship have ears that hear your prayer? Is your God alive in the present?! Is the god you bow down to bigger than you? I pray you do not worship a god whose components can be found in physical matter like wood, stone, rivers, streams, trees, cloth, animals, dead humans, or other temporal matter. Is your God alive?

Jesus Christ is alive today. Jesus Christ the living human being crucified. Dead man hanging on the cross. Dead man buried in a grave. The resurrection from the grave. Jesus Christ arose from the dead. The empty tomb. Risen God walking around, gloriously. Jesus Christ in a glorified body appearing to his disciples and hundreds of others. (Look up the Word, in 1^st Corinthians 15).

Read Scripture! My Friend, the Bible has power to transform your thoughts, words, and deeds. Do not be misled by popularity, historical data, popular false-truths, sheer numbers and volumes, free thinking, archeological findings, material persuasion, coercion, traditions, or any other reasons. Your eternal existence is at stake. If you should die today without having accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, your soul is lost forever. There is no conversion after death.

In the beginning GOD created the heavens and the earth. Before there was a beginning there was God. In the beginning God Almighty of the beginning took one week (7 days) to speak into being all that is earth and heaven—Creation. In the beginning GOD made man on the 6^th day of creation. I am talking power beyond human comprehension. Mankind will never grasp nor understand the consuming powerful mighty composition of God the Beginning. The concept of the beginning God is too grandiose for human knowledge. That God [of the beginning] says the only way to him is through Jesus Christ, his only begotten son. God Begotten, that you and I may kind of glimpse the kind of power, of God the beginning.

I believe in the Truth of Christ. Hear me here for a minute: I hold no scholarly credentials in theology. I am not ordained by any denomination save Almighty God. I have never attended seminary. Called miraculously and anointed by the Lord Jesus Christ on August 1, 1999, face to face in the presence of Divinity I stood. Hallelujah. The Divine held me up, placed his hand on my forehead covering my eyes and administered holy anointing and a command. On that day I was enrolled under Christ’s tutelage, in the libraries of eternity, where God resides. The Holy Spirit teaches me theology, for ministry. Theology that is one message and for one purpose only: The Resurrected Christ alone has the power to forgive sin and grant us eternal life. My Friend, it has been sixteen years since that day, and I yet, still, proclaim daily the same message—Believe and follow Jesus Christ for the Salvation of your soul.

JESUS CHRIST the only way to God. JESUS CHRIST the only one who has power to forgive sin. JESUS CHRIST the way to eternal life. JESUS CHRIST the first and the last. JESUS CHRIST the beginning and the end. JESUS CHRIST without him everlasting life ends for you.  

When, by death, you leave this earthly existence without Christ you have condemned yourself to hell. Hell, separated forever from The Lord. Without Christ you have dammed your soul to spend eternity with Satan; do you really want that for your eternity? Without Christ you have destined yourself to everlasting destruction—Eternal Separation—from your creator, God the beginning. If you worship and serve a dead God you are playing with fire. Hell fire where the flames never go out. Why take the chance? A place of eternal, perpetual, torment. Is the gamble really worth the consequences? Does it make sense that any forever dead object or concept or person would grant you forever life! Why would such dead object or concept or person remain dead if they had the power to grant your life forever!

Again, I ask you, “Is your god—the God you worship and serve—is that your god alive?” If “No” or “Not sure” is your answer, kindly allow me to request of you that you consider knowing Jesus Christ. Start by saying a short prayer, asking Jesus to come into your heart and forgive your sins. Get a Bible and start reading, preferably, beginning with the Gospel of John. Christianity is not a religion; rather it is a relationship with Jesus Christ. Your being a Christian is your surrendering to Christ. Christianity is placing faith and trust in Jesus Christ to preserve you for eternity.

Who is your Religious Leader? Confidently and boldly, “Jesus Christ!”

Is the founder of your spiritual belief—the head of your Faith—living today? Yes! “So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.” (Mark 16:19).

Can you find peace and joy after spending time in the presence of your spiritual head/supreme being? Yes! “Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fullness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.” (Psalm 16:11).

Does the god you worship have ears that hear your prayer? Yes! “Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.” (Jeremiah 33:3).

Is your God alive in the present!? Yes! “And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM…” (Exodus 3:14).

Is the god you bow down to bigger than you? Yes! “Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.” (Hebrews 4:13).

Jesus was more than just a great teacher. Jesus proved that He is God’s only begotten, cherished Son, who came back to life from the grave. The truth of Jesus Resurrection separates him from every other religious leader in human history. The fact that Jesus Christ is alive confirms and establishes his power to grant you eternal and everlasting life. Christ is Risen! Jesus is Alive! Life gives life. I pray that you do not leave earth until you can answer that your God whom you worship is alive. “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13).

Blessings and peace,

FRIDAY IS HERE. Again. Enjoy a wonderful beginning to what I hope you’ll make a wonderful weekend. Aah, but do behave now. Jesus eyes are watching! Often, weekend is when many stray off—you Meet up with people you’ve got no business seeing with… you Forget the Ten Commandments… you Try stuff you shouldn’t touch… you Indulge in wicked indulgences… you Open secret sins—All in the name of enjoying yourself. The truth is you are staining your soul. You are contaminating your spirit. Beware a weak end. Behave yourself. Yes, I’m gone from preaching to meddling! Why? I love you. That’s why.

My Friend, escape those snares. Watch, fight, and pray, Scripture tells us. Do not end weak. Invoke Jesus name. Christ will immediately come to your rescue. Enjoy today. Make your weekend memorable. Make every minute a proud to be called child of God moment. Keep that smile on your face.

Ever Present Jesus

There's a tendency that experience is often the best teacher. One can be certain and emphatic about something oftentimes when you have lived it. I attest my God is ever present. If you have made Jesus Christ your Lord, know that your God is ever present.

In the process of living, and doing the work that Jesus Christ has blessed me with a divine calling to do, I have found God to be faithful. Jehovah God is the greatest. The Lord God is Sovereign God. God Almighty is the Great I AM. Whatever you want Lord God to be in your life, that I AM is to you. The way to God Almighty is through Jesus Christ. Indeed, I have found the Lord to be Jehovah. I have found Jesus Christ to be faithful. Try him for yourself.

Jehovah is the present. Almighty God is always present in your efforts and endeavors. Give Jesus a chance to be in your business, every day. Over and over God stands with you mercifully every second, minute, and hour of each day. The Lord can never forsake you. The Lord will never forsake you. When you rely 100% on Jesus Christ, the Lord will never be far from you. Yes, Jesus will never leave you. Jesus Christ is present at your side through every situation and in every condition. In your "whatever" circumstances the Lord stands by your side. Jesus will walk with you every step of the way, if you let him. You must trust that God is right there with you at all times. Accept and believe that truth. The Lord is by your side always. God is Jehovah Shammah.

Blessings and peace,

Responsible, Public?

America, stand up and take notice. You who lead nations of the world, take notice. Church, lift up and pray. The judgment of The Lord, Most High God Almighty, is upon the lands. Situations here at home and in the world are not going to get any easier nor much better. Mankind must girdle up and operate in the season where you find yourself. The below is a tough Word, (if I may say so myself) but, I am only a servant messenger. One who has been cautioned many times by my Lord Jesus, whom I serve, that I should not be afraid to speak out for Him. And speak out I will. For the purpose of immediate delivery this is a summary of my message, detailed text to follow shortly. I always advise, should you find yourself doubting, be cautious, do not receive any prophecy without first testing the spirit, as instructed in 1st John 4:1-6, the Holy Bible. Here's calling all Christians to become prayer warriors for such a time as this. --Servant Hortense

The Congress of the United States of America is the lawmaker of the country. Congress is the body which comprises the U.S. House of Representatives and the United States Senate. CONGRESS is the body responsible for making the laws of the United States of America. Majority of the members of Congress identifies as Christians. (I just researched this information and confirmed that, indeed, Congress is dominantly made up of Christians, men and women. Yes, I dared second guessed; yes, the revelation was so shocking to me I dared double checked with Google, to confirm Jesus Christ. Yes, that is how much politically correctness my human nature desired. So much that I fact checked the Holy Spirit of Almighty God. The all knowing, all powerful creator of heaven and earth! Dear Lord God, I repent of my folly, please forgive me.) 

Omniscient, Omnipotent, God that he is. I discovered that an astounding majority of Congress identifies as being Christian. Yes, you heard me right. I just said, an astounding, ninety-two percent (92%), majority of the membership of Congress identify as followers of Jesus Christ. 

We, Americans, elected the majority Christian Congress. America, it is you who elect law makers of the land, your Law Makers. It is you, America, who repeatedly elects a majority Christian membership to your law governing body. How could it be then, that the same you, America, collectively rejects Jesus Christ? How is that you, America, do not want Jesus Christ in your business? How then could you, America, object Christian doctrines displayed anywhere in your public places? How then, that you, America, do not want prayers in the name of Jesus said openly? How then you, America, relegate Christianity to the ugly bottom of your moral fabric? 
You, America, elected Christians as representatives and senators to fashion the way our country is governed. You, America, keep Christians in the majority law making body of your land. How then could you, America, fight to distance yourself as a nation built on Christian principles? Albeit, Christian lawmakers, who stand idly by and watch the National Cathedral be mocked. Has the favor you meted out been returned, National Cathedral? Christian lawmakers, did you bow your head in agreement with prayer the other day? In whose name do Christians pray! You cannot even keep sacred a designated space dedicated to Almighty God in Jesus name. You, America, elect a Christian majority to make your laws. Who then is responsible!

There are three equal branches of government. The legislative branch, The Congress, makes the laws. The executive branch, The Presidency, enforces the law. The judiciary branch, The Supreme Court, interprets the law. So here is it: CONGRESS makes the laws of America. A sitting President enforces the same laws made by the legislative branch. The Supreme Court interprets the enforced law of the land. Laws made by the legislative branch. Said legislative branch, CONGRESS, comprises legislators ELECTED to office by the American people, collectively called THE PUBLIC. Who then is responsible? 

America, has there been another nation to send forth more missionaries proclaiming The Gospel to the ends of the world? The judgment of God Almighty is at hand. The Lord Christ has begun to vindicate his Father's name. The house of God is about to be cleaned up; Jesus is already inside the temple. You are the temple of the Lord. Mankind makes up the house. 

Let's glean a few Truths from the Scriptures.

DECLARE a holy fast; call a sacred assembly. Summon the elders and all who live in the land to the house of the LORD your God, and cry out to the Lord." (Joel 1:14 NIV). 

Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's and to God the things that are God's. (Mark 12:17) 

"Gird yourselves, and lament, ye priests: howl, ye ministers of the altar: come, lie all night in sackcloth, ye ministers of my God; for the meat offering and the drink offering is withholding from the house of your God. Sanctify ye a fast, call a solemn assembly, gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land into the house of the Lord your God, and cry unto the Lord, Alas for the day! For the day of the Lord is as hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come." (Joel 1:13-15 KJV).

"But you must remember, beloved, the predictions which were made by the apostles (the special messengers) of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One). They told you beforehand, In the last days (in the end time) there will be scoffers [who seek to gratify their own unholy desires], following after their own ungodly passions. It is these who are [agitators] setting up distinctions and causing divisions--merely sensual [creatures, carnal, worldly-minded people], devoid of the [Holy] Spirit and destitute of any higher spiritual life." (Jude 1:17-19 Amplified Bible).

"Rend your hearts and not your garments and return to the Lord, your God, for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger,many abounding in loving-kindness; and He revokes His sentence of evil [when His conditions are met]. (Joel 2:13 Amplified Bible).

 "And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, 'Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand: and if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand? And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges. But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you." (Matthew 12:25-28 KJV).
