Expos'e From The Dark Side !!! part 3 "Do You Know Jesus"

Let Me present to some and introduce to others Jesus "The Christ" from Nazareth. Some of us say we know Him in essence is we professing knowledge of  Him which can only come from reading and/or having an encounter with through the Holy Spirit. Jesus states in the John's Gospel 5:39 " Search the scriptures in them you think you have eternal life theses are they which testify of me", 2 Timothy 3:16 says "All scripture is inspired by God and is profitable for doctrine reproof and correction, for instruction in righteousness (17) that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. Some  of us only are interested in taking the short cut so we  spend our time trying and looking for an physical but mostly an emotional encounter which might not have been Christ at all. When Paul had a encounter with Jesus on Damascus road  it affected  his life in such a way that he became willing to do ...and to go through...THE PROCESS. During this process Paul is willing to share with us 2Corinthians 12 So to keep me from becoming proud, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger from Satan to torment me and keep me from becoming proud.After that he says,Three different times I begged the Lord to take it away.Each time he said, "My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness." So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through 
me. Paul through the Holy Spirit is teaching us a profound TRUTH. I think that the "Church" has become too prideful !! How soon we forget Preachers, and leaders and other people who claim to know Christ.Who and will not press the issue of Bible study in the home and the CHURCH. I not trying to offend anyone but someone has to say it. We have people in the fellowship  who are in leadership who truly do not  believe that we should study to show ourselves approved.(if the did they would) Why  do only a few show up when there is a prayer meeting, don't they KNOW the POWER of agreement "that the fervent effectual prayer avails much". Much of our relationship with God is emotional many of us  to come to Church to shout, dance and be entertained by the Pastor. When we should be getting instructions on spiritual warfare. We should be coming to Church with pens, note books coming with the expectation of learning practical ways of applying the scripture to our lives.


In this culture we must be aware of the overt and covert work of satan, if  we would stand back and look the garden of eve experience and Jesus encounter in the wilderness then listen to John in the epistles satan attack is always the same the bible says in  1John 2:15-16 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.(16)For all that [is] in the world--the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life--is not of the Father but is of the world. We need balance many Christian do not see the Man of God as God's instrument, do not and will not sow into there lives the bible says 1 Timothy 5:16-17,Elders who do their work well should be respected and paid well,  especially those who work hard at both preaching and teaching.Now with that being said the leader should not be looking riches his responsibility is look at the Christ and allow the teaching and the Holy Spirit to mold him. The largest Christian Church in the world,over the past century, the world has been witness to the growth of Christianity throughout Western and non-Western nations alike. However, few countries can rival the expansion rate demonstrated by South Korea during the last several decades. Some within the Christian church would herald the spread of the Christian faith in Korea as a remarkable achievement. Yet, one must not forget to examine the full-scope of effects that Christianity has had on the native way of life on the Korean peninsula, last time I checked the Pastor David Yonggi Cho  was living in an apartment with a million members we have Pastors in the US living like "rock stars" on the backs of widows and persons on welfare as they  sell the "prosperity gospel" which in no gospel at all


The Bible says in Proverbs 3:31 Do not envy the oppressor,​and choose none of his ways. In USA there in RacismClassism and Sexism, if  we truly  want to be free we must begin to look at these things in light of scripture.If we do our lives, families , our  Churches, our ministries will never be the the same .Many African American Christians have problems with this subject of racism and to that what I say is "it is what it is." Isn't true, that that African-American where brought over in the hulls of ship by people  who called Christians, " it is what it is". Isn't true that these Christians could go to Church on Sunday hang and rape on Sunday night.Isn't true that these Christians could  allow the slaves to live in the worst condition and give them little or no resources for education therefore rendering the slave powerless to understand, then in conjunction with that  came all the settle attacks. First  he would separate the family,  he picked and chose whatever woman he desired in spite of  the father of those children, then he would to call them  names ie. the N-word, stupid, shifless , lazy,ignorant, until they came to believe, then  later the slave would embrace and begin to call themselves  those same names and then assume the behavior. Let me present to some and introduce to others Jesus of Nazareth. My point is not really the issue of racism but how can we say we know Jesus and allow these things to go on and do or say nothing, we should be able to sit at the table as Christians of all races and work out our differences. Where is the conviction of the Holy Spirit ?? Proverb 3:31 Says Do not envy the oppressor,​and choose none of his ways. We see the results of not doing anything reflected in the Church today, many Churches won't allow women to preach, those who do have resources look down on those who don't, the original Church  in book of Acts 4:32 saysNow the multitude of those who believed were of one heart and one soul; neither did anyone say that any of the things he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common. 33 And with great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all. 34 Nor was there anyone among them who lacked; for all who were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold, 35 and laid them at the apostles’ feet; and they distributed to each as anyone had need. Brothers and Sisters  I pray this message today makes all of us uncomfortable  Christians  of every race creed and color we have work to do , but first become a student of scripture, search the scriptures get to know  the teachings Jesus Christ , allow the Holy Spirit to guide you,  and by all means PRAY !!!!!AMEN

Expos'e From The Dark Side !!! Part 2


What a strange lot we are! Enamored of the dazzling lights, the fickle applause of the public, the splash of success, we seldom trace the lines that led to that flimsy and fleeting pinnacle. Bitter hardship. Unfair and undeserved abuses. Loneliness and loss. Humiliating failures. Debilitating disappointments. Agony beyond comprehension suffered in the valley and crevices of the climb from bottom to top.
How shortsighted! Instead of accepting the fact that no one deserves the right to lead without first persevering through pain and heartache and failure, we resent those intruders. We treat them as enemies, not friends. We forget that the marks of greatness are not delivered in a paper sack by capricious gods. They are not hurriedly stuck onto skin like a tattoo.
No, those who are really worth following have paid their dues. They have come through the furnace melted, beaten, reshaped, and tempered. To use the words of the teacher from Tarsus, they bear in their bodies “the brand-marks of Jesus” (Galatians 6:17). Or, as one paraphrases it, they carry “the scars of the whippings and wounds” . . . which link them to all mankind.
Small wonder when such people move from time to eternity they “belong to the ages.”

                  Expos'e From The Dark Side Part 2
There are some truths that are hard to swallow except through maturity and the Holy Spirit, except through taking a hard look at the life and ministry of  Paul of Tarsus and Christianity through the eyes of Howard Thurman's book Jesus and the Disinherited. Then one would begin to see why Jesus of Nazareth would be born in poverty,  raised in a ghetto called  Nazareth at time when women had no rights and Israel would be under the control of Rome. When came into His earthly ministry and in His inaugural speech he began  with these words, (Luke 4:18-19) The Spirit of the Lord has anointed to preach the "good news"to the poor.....chose 12 blue collar guys (disciples) and said( Mark 1:15)"The kingdom of God is at hand
In retrospect as a child I always wondered why I was dealt the cards that I was dealt ! Why didn't my life resemble what I saw on TV ? Why didn't I have  a two parents family in the home , I knew something was wrong but not being able to put my finger on the problem.  Being naiive  I did not and was able to guard and protect myself from the forces that would destroy me. The overt force "the prince of the power of the air" secondly persons that James P. Carse refer to in his book "The Religious Case Against Belief". He talks about ignorance in a couple of ways one is ordinary ignorance all of us are ignorant in this way. Indeed, there is no end of the things that we do not and will not ever know in this respect ordinary ignorance is a trivial phenomenon. The second form of ignorance is a subtler and potentially far more dangerous it called  willful ignorance. It is a paradoxical condition in which we are aware there is something we do not know,but choose not to know it. Brothers and Sisters there is an attack on the body of Christ , Jesus warns us in Matt 24 it talks about "wars and rumor, famines earthquakes and the love of many growing cold".In  Romans 1 :18-31 it says,18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.
24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, 25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. 27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, [fn3] wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they arewhisperers, 30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, [fn4] unmerciful; 32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.
As I close for today I pray your strength in the Lord ! Would you pray for me as I writing this with tears in my eyes to my WIFE, spiritual sons and daughters,brothers ans sisters in the faith all over the world, broken but trusting GOD. I plead the BLOOD !~

Expos'e From The Dark Side !!!

  This series of writing are a attempt to deal spirituality and with the science of living. This expos'e is an attempt to be transparent, something that I find very obvious in the writings of the "talented tent maker from Tarsus ".(Paul)I pray that not only I would grow and mature through this experience but some other searching soul would be illuminated through the HOLY SPIRIT and move one step closer to what the Buddhism call "Nirvana" which is a state of mind and not a place. After an encounter with Jesus The Christ through a series awakenings the progressive work of sanctification through a perpetual hunger for righteous living as the writer of Hebrews states the transition from milk to meat. 


Many of the Masses that call themselves Christians which mean "Christ like" who meet week after week, who pay there dues, serve on there given post, are rarely challenged to know JESUS through His Word. "In The Beginning Was The Word And The Word Was GOD", There is a part of our experience that is physical  and can only be understood through the eyes of Faith. But to know GOD'S VOICE and to understand His ways can only be done through living LIFE in light of  scripture. Please pray for me Darwin Micheal Harris as I pray for you !!!
 

For years I've lived between two selves the young man with dreams and visions of greatness and a child afraid. 
In the book the "Road less Traveled"the path to destruction is broad, attractive and easy to find until it get's you in it's clutches then it becomes a roaring lion or boa constrictor whose only purpose is kill , destroy, any and everything associated me.
But There comes a time, a moment of clarity like in the story of the "prodigal son"where we must come to ourselves or die trying , a time when a man must take a stand for what he believes , he must align himself with the GOD of the scriptures. He must willing to fight with all that he knows (knowledge) how.
If your a fan of Shakespeare and the Bible you know that many of it's heroes had serious character flaws it make for a good story and teaches some important lessons. One of the greatest characters in the Bible he's called a friend of God and the Father of the FAITH  Abraham had an integrity and fear issue twice he offered wife to have sex with other man because he did not trust that God could or would protect him(gen 12:11-20, gen 20:2-13) sisters imagine that the man of your dreams offering you to another man and what would that relationship be like afterward. Brother or Sister in Christ would you shout or dance and praise  God with this as a testimony, would your wife tell everyone the she let another woman have her man to have a child, imagine laying in another room knowing what your husband was doing in another. 


Let me leave you with this for TODAY if your fear is separating you from God , remember trials to triumph, no test no testimony, no cross no crown, that God will never ask you to do anything He can't bring to completion, even if it requires miraculous intervention on HIS PART. 
If You Understand What The Spirit Is Saying ?? Say Amen !!!!!
