| Livin' n driven
Given a vision
Fulfillin' the commission
With spiritual intuition
People ya need ta listen
Remember in the beginning
The Word was livin' within Him
The Seraphim an da singin'
He said that suttns' still missin'
He wanted someone to bring Him
An offerering that was willin'
Not someone who was servin' Him
Jus cause He was tellin' em
So He made a planet
An put a man in it
To manage it
An replenish it
An made a garden fa fellowship
Now the devil was jealous
An Genesis doesn't tell us this
But Isaiah 14 gives us the parenthesis
The former glory
Lucifer was given
Was taken n given
To Adam n Eve
Cause of vanity
Satan knew that Adam was the seed of humanity
An if he could get him to sin that would cause a calamity
So he devised a plan
To get at the man
Through the woman
Cause he knew he couldn't fool Adam
Now he's speakin' ta Eve
Tellin' her to eat
From da tree of da knowledge of good and evil
To make her equal wid da Most High
But if ya equal wid da Most High
Den He wouldn't be da Most High, a lie?
Any way back to da case
Adam an Eve were disgraced
An from da garden of Eden
Adam an Eve were displaced
Dis is da reason why God an man are now separate
An it's da reason for da evil das in da world today
But God had a plan to make a second Adam
To be born of a woman who never slep with a man
Gentle jus like a Lamb but conquering like a Lion
Greater than Abraham, the call Him The Great I AM
He was Da Word in eternity past
He was the Let there be Light that the Father and the Spirit spoke at he start
He's still livin' today so why do so many deny Him?
When He comes back He'll be bringin' thunder an lightning!

it's about 45 minutes long, but it explains that question.

| I love this song. It's a GEAT song. here's the lyrics:
Lyrics:
I'm a mile away from where I belong and I'm a mile away from home
I'm lying awake at the thought of you gone, and I'm a mile away from home
On top of the world he thought, let down when he hit the spot
dead stare in the mirror as he drove
Had room for warming up, he got cold feet so he had to run
to a city with a history of love
knowing she relies on me but I'm on my way to an unpredicted fall
feet under the covers now, lips sealed tight till I hear a sound
the sound of a soon redeeming call
Now I know I never dreamed to be a movie star but I'm hiding in the Hollywood hills
I've learned regret from a cowards mouth wouldn't let her know how I feel
Held up and I'm stuck in line, can barely get around on the 405
headed downtown in a half-full automobile
now but deep inside I see the light, I'm a runaway victim left alone
at night though you lay so far, we both stare out at the same old stars
wishing for direction where to go
Oh but I could never forget the guilty look in your eyes at the end
I walk the line like a merry-go-round, thought I learned but I lost you again
And all at once if the world stops spinning maybe you could let me in
Oh but I could never forget the guilty look in your eyes at the end
here's the song:

that is all.

read the article then read this
my response:
prosperity preachers infuriate me, #1 reason: there is no scriptural support for sending all your money to a person who makes millions of dollars a year then as a side note says "Jesus gave this to me." There was a person by the name of Johann Tetzel (1465-1519) who unbeknownst to some could be called a father of the reformation...why? because he is famous for saying "When the coin in the coffer clings a soul from purgatory springs." In other words: You give the catholic church money, your family goes to Heaven. This statement rightl Infuriated MArtin Luther and the rest, as they say, is history. There is no way that anyone will ever be able to buy their way into heaven, the Bible makes that very clear. The Bible's teaching on salvation and following Christ is very different,
Luke 9: 23-27
And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him t deny himself and u take up his cross v daily and follow me. 24 For u whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it. 25 w For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses or forfeits himself? 26 For x whoever is ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed y when he comes in z his glory and the glory of the Father and of a the holy angels. 27 But I tell you truly, there are some standing here who will not b taste death c until they see the kingdom of God.”
Luke 14: 25-33
25 Now great crowds accompanied him, and he turned and said to them, 26 n “If anyone comes to me and o does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, p yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple. 27 q Whoever does not r bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple. 28 For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not s first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it? 29 Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, 30 saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish.’ 31 Or what king, going out to encounter another king in war, will not t sit down first and deliberate whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand? 32 And if not, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends a delegation and asks for terms of peace. 33 u So therefore, any one of you who v does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple.
tell the martyrs that were torn to shreds by animals for entertainment that they could have just paid more money and gone to the same place
tell the people (Men, women, children) in North Korea who had their heads run over by bulldozers that with just a few dollars sent to the right guy for his boat, they too could see Jesus someday
tell the missionaries that have their families threatened everyday that all they have to do is come back to the U.S. and live a gluttonous, exorbatant life and they can go to Heaven. The kingdom of Heaven cannot be bought. that would be a cheapening of it, and a lessening of what the Cross means, as the bridge that sinners cross in order to get to HEaven. The price that was paid was paid by Jesus, The son of God thahumbled himself as a child that couldn't even control his own bowels, who never sinned grew up and died a brutal horrible death in our place, to pay for all our sins, so that we may go to Heaven when we leave this world. But he didn't stay dead, he walked out of that grave, proving not only that he truly was God incarnate but also that he had power over death.
people, don't be caught up by people preaching false gospels and terrible doctrine. Study God's word so that you will be able to discern between the lies and the truth.
God Bless -Lee

It's a common trend today for young Christian men in the over-churched South to "go rogue" and bypass the church in the name of gospel mission. The results include failed and feeble ministries, doctrinally weak study groups, and free agent ministers who go to the highest bidder or the trend of the week. I even know a guy who serves at multiple churches in hopes to "bridge the gap," not realizing that his actions are fostering disunity as he robs the church's army of strength. Everyone Is a Soldier Everyone fights for something: a cause, an ideology, or vain, idolatrous pursuits. Where we spend our time, energy, and money is a good indicator of what we fight for, as is what dominates our conversation. Likewise, the soldier assumes the identity of the army for which he fights. Our mission and identity as soldiers, however, is clearly informed by scripture. In 2 Timothy 2:1-4, the apostle Paul writes specifically to young pastor Timothy calling him "a good soldier." There is application here for all pastors and Christians as Paul answers four questions. What Are We Fighting For? Paul instructs Timothy to fight "for what you have heard" (2 Tim. 2:2), to "remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, the offspring of David, as preached in my gospel" (2 Tim. 2:8). As stewards of the gospel and ambassadors of grace, good soldiers fight for the truth that we have heard: the perfect life, substitutionary atoning death, and victorious resurrection of Jesus Christ. What Are We Fighting Against? Unfortunately, too many "soldiers" forget their identity and lose sight of the mission. In breaking rank, they go on rogue missions and often begin to fight their own. Ministry is a cutthroat, competitive industry. Far too many sheep and shepherds have been hurt in the name of out-performing our allies. This is not the battle. Paul reveals the battle is "against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places" (Eph. 6:12). Against those forces the army must stand unified. Who Are We Fighting Alongside? The warrior imagery of the first-century world is not one of rogue ninjas and one-man wrecking crews. Rather, it's imagery of ranks of men with shields interlocked to form an advancing wall of power. Paul's instruction to Timothy is a call is to be a good soldier in an army, not a mercenary missionary. Paul instructs pastor/soldier Timothy "in the presence of many witnesses" to "entrust to other men to teach also" (2 Tim. 2:2). Marching orders are both given and received in the context of an army—others called in identity and mission as soldiers. In this context, the mission is advanced as other soldiers are called and equipped. How Are We to Fight? As a unified army with the boldness rooted in the grace of Jesus Christ (2 Tim. 2:1), Paul warns to avoid "civilian pursuits." This is not a neglect of the non-Christian world and culture, but rather an urging to maintain focus on the gospel task at hand. It's a reminder to not be distracted by secular or religious pursuits that malign the gospel mission. The identity and mission of a good soldier is manifested in the context of the local church. The Bottom Line We are soldiers in the army of the warrior King who has already secured the victory, and our aim is to please him who, by his grace, enlisted us. | | |
