By grace it just lights me up with pure joy when I see people praising GOD . So , I have a trivia question that I hope we all ponder on . WHY is it , though, when I see many churches praising God , do I not have no joy , even anger at times . THE KEY , who are they truly praising . WHY are they truly rejoicing . Many too can praise god , notice the lil g, but they are not praising the TRUE GOD . IF the loved GOD they would LOVE TRUTH . So what are they praising . an image of god that men , women and pastors have created that serves , the lil god of the mirror . If we can rejoice in God because gay marriage is getting accepted , THEN ITS NOT GOD we rejoicing in , but rather the serpent at the tree. IF we can rejoice in GOD because its all about the money , all about the lil I am who AINT , WE praising the serpent who gave us those desires to be as God . Here is what I call a lil frienduff reminder .
ready . We got way too many lil I ams seeking the KINGDOM of they is . When they should be realizing they aint . and instead should humbly be seeking the ONE WHO IS THE I AM .

"Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus." - Acts 4:13
"But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us." - 2 Corinthians 4:7

(This made me laugh.) God sees the heart, and words and appearances can't conceal its motives and attitudes from His sight: "This people honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me." They bless the unblessed. They "sanctify" the profane. They praise and permit what God condemns and forbids. They teach that obedience to Jesus' commandments is legalism and works-salvation. They praise God for "freedom" that is actually bondage and for a false "grace" that is not the grace of God taught in the Scriptures. They love sweet lies and anyone who butters their ego and gives them God's blessing to do what they want to do. They sin in the dark---or even in broad daylight, and make excuses for it, rather than repenting, and call anyone who reproves them, as God's own word reproves them, judgmental. And then they raise their hands and sing about how much they love Jesus. Liars. Singing lies to God (or wearing them on your clothing) is no more pleasing to Him than speaking them; and the Bible says that all liars will have their place in the lake of fire (Revelation 21:8). Is a massive crowd of people who don't love Jesus praising Jesus anything to admire or be happy about? Is it an accomplishment? Does it honor Him? Absolutely not. It's one giant abomination to Him. If Jesus Christ Himself came and preached a sermon among them, they'd boo and try to run Him out of the place. Or they'd just get up and leave. Proverbs says that if a man turns his ear away from hearing the law of God even his prayer is an abomination to Him. And Isaiah 1 says that God cannot endure iniquity and the worship of Him. He hates the "worship" of people who despise Him. It offends Him and is an abomination to Him. Their praises are not for Him, but for a god of their own imagination and design, and their "worship" serves them, not Him.

I want us to ponder on the true examples of the true apostels . Can anyone here imaqine paul , standing before thousands and saying , HEY GOD Said I AM , SO am I TOO . can you all imagine that . Paul never once exalted himself . In fact paul said He had been of sinners most chief . Did jude , did james , did peter , did any of them , EVER talk like these who preach that I am garbage. OR did not every single one of them , See themselves AS naught and CHRIST as the ALL IN ALL .

Since the exhortation is about this I am stuff. I may as well go ahead and tell you what One of them , KENNETH COPELAND once said . And its on video for all to see . Kenneth once told his whole congregation this . Now before I say it , I WANT US TO REALLY SEE what the heck that man is really saying . A heads up , when I seen it , I burned inside with righteous anger . It stirred my soul big time . Not that I want kennny in hell, BUT my anger was against this garbage taught and it was at Kenny too . But wait till you hear what he said . I had to TELL GOD to move the SON out of my way , so I could get things done . YEAH , YEAH , and folks follow THAT .

And men and women like that NOW say things like ,OH the greatest day of my life was when I met POPE FRANCIS . THEY UNDER DELUSOIN cause they rejected the love of the truth . I pray they repent fast , but it looks like masses of them are just pointing us to ROME and big on saying God is love , yet what they teach aint OF GOD and their love is not of GOD either .

oh dear would we look at my English . not the worlds best , but simple enough to make the point and be understood . I dont think anyone is complaining about your grammar. but you can ask God anything. I prayed once for God to give me a better vocabulary to use because i had a limited backwoods vocabulary of words to speak with. If you read some of my posts long enough you will find some of those "big words" in my posts. these words just pop in my head and 9 times out of 10 i do not know what these words actually mean and i google the word to see the definition. the words fit perfectly and make my speech have more "book smart" sound than i really have. Gods spirit in and thru us is not limited by anything but we have not because we ask not. The man God sent to me to preach the gospel and mentor me as a babe in Christ is the one who spoke this to me, i prayed it and now occasionally words come out that i dont even know what they mean. If your English bothers you pray about it and ask God to help you to be more articulate in speech/writing. But i do want to say, you get the point across just fine.

CLETUS you loved my brother . I honestly don't care about my English . I often say things to just make a point . And all kinds of words can pop in my head . REJECTIVE was one of them at the time . I actually get tickled sometimes at some of those words , cause I don't think they really exist , BUT BOY they do make a point . So no worries . You loved Cletus .
