Freedom Journey


This blog was created on Saturday March 22, 2014, and is geared to folks whose steadfast aim is freedom through learning, teaching and DOING truth. Incorrect beliefs can prevent constructive forward motions. We cannot afford to allow ignorance, pride and stubbornness to keep us deceived.

Refuse to be prisoners of your perceptions. Cast away nonsense traditions. Freedom resides in authentic and proven truths.

REAL truth is freedom!

***
Only GOD is perfect. It's vital to seek the Lord to expose errors. Please ask Him to expose any areas of darkness and for what is necessary to DO to dispossess what's NOT of truth.

Facebook "Discussion" on Once Saved Always Saved

Hi -

I'm not sure how long Facebook leaves posts in their system.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/298454986990757/permalink/321297804706475/

Are You Sure You're Saved?

Hi -

Some folks have been deceived into believing that they're AUTHENTICALLY born again.  There are instances of false conversions.  I've been engaged with folks who believed that they were AUTHENTICALLY born again but later learned that they weren't . . . 

Last year I connected with a man who shared that he'd had a false conversion.  He'd been in church for years, in music ministry, married to a pastor's daughter, etc.  He did eventually get AUTHENTICALLY born again.  Afterwards, he shared about his entrance into TRUE freedom . . . 

###

Below are links to two YouTube videos about the subject matter.

Part One -- Responding to Altar Calls Doesn't Necessarily Mean That Folks are Authentically Born Again.   How to be sure . . .

This YouTube video that I recorded is less than six minutes long.

Part Two -- Trust GOD to Reveal.

This YouTube video that I recorded is less than seven minutes long.

Don't Let Other Folks Itches Make You Scratch

Hi -

Have you joined ranks with traditions that disagree with God?  Sometimes we can be unaware that we're on board with that which is erroneous.

Talking to the devil

Hi -

Does God give His people authority to have conversations with the devil?  We Christ-dwelling folks are to resist the devil not talk to him.  The way to resist Satan is to submit to God.

Tolerance

Hi - 

First of all, many heterosexual folks are getting tired of some of the homosexual folks major complaining because we disagree with their lifestyle. They promote their rights to be homosexual and get upset because we assert our rights to disagree. I don't hate homosexuals but I do disagree with their lifestyle. That’s my belief and I firmly adhere to it just like they firmly adhere to their beliefs.

In no way do I support bashing homosexuals or bullying them nor do I support them doing it to us. Ain't nothing wrong with disagreements as long as they're lawful and don't abuse people.

And yes, I firmly believe in loving people of ALL cultures, races, and persuasions -- but loving doesn't ALWAYS mean agreement.

Many homosexuals call us anti gay and homophobic but what about them being anti heterosexual and anti folks that don't believe in homosexuality?

They want us to be more tolerant but many of them are intolerant of us holding firm to our beliefs to be against same sex sexual relationships and same-sex marriage.

They need to practice what they expect -- tolerance!

Baby Christians

Hi -

The Lord removed me from church building attendance. Increasingly, He's calling more of His people out of church buildings; however, when I was a baby Christian, I sat "under" preachers and teachers for years in church building settings . . .

Do you believe that BABY Christians should attend church buildings to get foundational and other truths from preachers and teachers?

Hi -

Below is a link to an audio recording of David Lee who was put out of T.D. Jakes' Potter's House -- North Dallas pastored by Sheryl Brady.  David, a Christian who'd been part of Jakes' ministry for more than 20 years was stripped of his ministerial license and put out of the church for being a truth-teller.

Here's the audio recording link of the incident.  The background music is loud but what's going on can still be heard.

Aiming to Guilt Trip Folks with Hebrews 10:25, "Not forsaking of ourselves. . ."

Hi -

I'm not sure for how long it's been but there are folks who do false teaching with this scripture:

Hebrews 10:25 - KJV
Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; . . .


###

There are die-hard church attending folks who believe that disobedience to scripture is in place relative to people who abide in the Lord but have ceased to attend church buildings. Commonly, the die-hard church building folks use that Hebrews 10:25 - KJV scripture to justify their false teaching relative to assembling.

That scripture doesn't instruct that assembling of GOD's people has to be in church buildings.

TRULY, GOD has called some folks out from assembling in church buildings. We assemble elsewhere.
Obeying GOD should come before anyone and anything. If GOD hasn't called people out -- then of course, they should remain in attendance at church buildings. Truth is that GOD has indeed called some folks out and folks aiming to guilt trip us (Hebrews 10:25, etc.) about obeying GOD -- ain't it. Nor should we out of churchers seek to guilt trip folks into leaving. The will of GOD should prevail for us ALL who claim Him as Lord.

It's wrong for the die-hard church attendees to pressure folks to be in church for "coverings." That's not aligned with scriptural content. Our covering is Jesus Christ, the resurrected Son of the living GOD.

It's vital to commune with God/Jesus/Holy Spirit through prayer, reading and studying the Holy Bible, praise and worship actions, and learning from holy folks who are rooted and grounded in the Lord and His ways.
GOD commands that He be our first love. There are no suitable substitutes for GOD and spending regular quality time in His presence -- learning from Him through prayer, Bible study and using other helpful resources to gain better understanding of truths.

###

Some folks have ceased to assemble in church buildings for ungodly reasons such as bitterness and unforgiveness. Certainly, that's NOT God's way.

###

The experience of numerous holy out of churchers is that, largely, church buildings have become dens of iniquity. Our choices to assemble elsewhere have proven to be more spiritually profitable . . . and considerably better than anything that we experienced when we were attending church buildings.

###

The only one who is NEVER wrong is GOD. . .

Jews and Gentiles

Hi -

This a.m., I posted the subject topic in the Facebook group, Spirit Led.

I've read in this group and elsewhere -- topics and comments relative to what's written in Holy Bible content that pertained to Jews/Israelites, but that DIDN'T pertain to Gentiles. There are distinctions made between Jews and Gentiles relative to what's contained in Scriptures.

And then it has been expressed that we're no longer under the law -- for the most part -- I get that. But what I'm not sufficiently getting is -- what do we adhere to relative to what's written in the New Testament? Are we to adhere to what was written AFTER Jesus' resurrection or do we adhere to what was written BEFORE His resurrection -- or a combination of both and how so?

Naming Names -- Is It Biblical?

Hi -

The subject article is potent in truth with scriptural proofs.

http://www.forgottenword.org/naming-names.html

Prophetic Utterances and Words from the Lord

Hi -

Folks lusting, from other people, for words/prophecies from the Lord can find bunches of words/prophecies from the Lord in the pages of the Holy Bible and from direct revelations from the Holy Ghost. No need to dial "prophetic" phone numbers or to seek out folks for prophecies and words from the Lord. 

Yes, GOD does use people to provide wise counsel -- but it's important to keep things in spiritual balance . . .

Is the One-Pastor Church Biblical?

Hi -

Below is a link to content that's profound with truth supported by Holy Scripture content.

Temples and Synagogues

Hi -

Today, I posted this content on Facebook:

Hi -

In the Holy Bible in the Old and New Testaments, we read about synagogues and temples yet we read the following scripture content:

Acts 7:48, 49 - KJV
Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophets.

Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord:. . .

###

So the Lord did approve of His people worshiping Him in temples and synagogues, right? So why does scripture state that the Lord dwelleth not in temples made with hands?

Cancel the Spirit of Fear -- Embrace the Fruit of Faith

Hi -
God is still in the resurrection business.  He can bring the dead to life.  With GOD all things are possible.  Nothing is too hard for GOD.  Whatever it is, it’s not bigger than GOD.  He continues to do signs and wonders.  That’s forever His signature style.  Steadfastly abide in the Lord and He shall supply all of our needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.  GOD shows up -- shows on and keeps His everlasting light in glow mode.   He makes things happen according to His good pleasure.

If you're inclined, the link below leads to my July 5, 2014, broadcast on Blog Talk Radio.  It's a faith booster indeed.  High and jubilant praises to the Most High GOD.

Are There Present Day Apostles?

Hi -

Scriptures contain a job description, of sorts, for apostles.

1 Corinthians 4:9, 11 - 13 - KJV

. . . we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men.

Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace;

And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it:

Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of he world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day.

2 Corinthians 12:2
Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds.

1 Thessalonians 2:6, 10
Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ.

Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblameable we behaved ourselves among you that believe:

Ephesians 3:5
. . . holy apostles . . .


###

Do y'all know of any present day holy apostles? Do y'all know of any present day folks who conform to what's listed above from 1 Corinthians 4 and 2 Corinthians 12:2, which notes SIGNS of an apostle "patience, signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds."? And I'm NOT expressing about the rubbish trending these days relative to feathers, gold dust and so-called growing out legs.

  • The KJV (1611) says in 1 Corinthians 4:9, "For I thinke that God hath set forth vs the Apostles last, . . ."

    The more modern KJV (not the NEW KJV) says, "For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles last, . . ."

  • The Geneva Bible, which was published BEFORE (1560) the 1611 King James Bible, says in 1 Corinthians 4:9, "For I thinke that God hath set forth vs the last Apostles, as men appointed to death: . . ."

    ###

    Yes, it says, THE LAST APOSTLES . . .

    ###

    That makes me think more that there are no present day apostles . . .
And some of those present day so-called apostles be about so-called growing out legs. Um, there are lots of folks whose legs don't walk anymore at all. Why aren't the so-called apostles doing their "miracles" on folks who can't walk? They'd rather "grow out legs" on folks who are ALREADY WALKING. Puh-leeze.

Can we say, "PRIORITIES?!"

In the Bible, REAL apostolic actions were -- raising the dead, casting out devils, the lame WALKING, etc.

Are There Errors in the Holy Bible?

Hi - 

There are folks who believe that the Holy Bible is infallible -- incapable of being wrong.  Is that a false teaching?

I  present that I read Acts 13:33 in three Bibles, two of which were published BEFORE the 1611 King James Bible.  Those two are the Tyndale (about 1534) and the Geneva (1560) Bibles. Note that the English used in the older versions is different than the English used in the King James Bibles that we’re most familiar with -- so I’m NOT misspelling when I express what’s written in the Tyndale, Geneva and 1611 King James Bibles.

Acts 13:33 - KJV -- Capitalizations mine

From the Tyndale Bible:

God hath fulfilled unto us their chyldre in that he reysed vp Iesus agayne eve as it is written in the FYRSTE  PSALME: Thou arte my sonne this same daye begat I the.  

From the Geneva Bible:

God hath fulfilled it vnto vs their children, in that he raised vp Iesus, euen as it is written in the SECONDE PSALME, . . .

King James 1611:

God hath fulfilled the same vnto vs their children, in that he hath raised vp Iesus againe, as I is also written in the SECOND PSALM: . . .

The subject information is actually in the SECOND PSALM
yet the Tyndale Bible indicates that the subject information is in the FIRST PSALM.

Does that not debunk the beliefs that Holy Bible content is infallible -- incapable of being wrong?

Note: For those who don’t have Tyndale and Geneva Bibles . . . , content from them can be found online.

Update:  The issue of the first and second Psalms could be a matter of placement of verses in the earlier versions of the Bible.  That could explain the matter . . .

###

Another example:

From the King James Bible (not the 1611 version) - Capitalizations mine:

In the gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke, we read the account about the unclean spirits leaving and entering the swine.  Well, Matthew says that it was TWO MEN out of the tombs.  Mark and Luke say that it was ONE MAN.

Matthew 8:28
. . . there met him TWO possessed with devils, coming OUT OF THE TOMBS, . . .

Matthew 8:32
. . . and when they were come out, they went INTO THE HERD OF SWINE: . . .

Mark 5:2
. . . immediately there met him out of the tombs, A MAN with an unclean spirit,

Mark 5:13
. . . and the unclean spirits went out, and ENTERED INTO THE SWINE.


Luke 8:27
And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain MAN, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in any house, but IN THE TOMBS.

Luke 8:33
Then went the devils out of THE MAN, and ENTERED INTO THE SWINE: . . .
 


###

Holy Bible content is an excellent resource.  I believe it to be the best written resource made available to us by the SOURCE, Almighty GOD. It's vital to be mindful that the Holy Spirit is power -- a teacher -- a witness, . . . 

No book contains infallibility.  There's NO SUITABLE substitute for God/Jesus and the Holy Spirit -- therein lies INFALLIBILITY -- PURE AND ABSOLUTE TRUTHS.
