Guilty As Charged
Get Back On Track

I woke up this morning at 10:10 a.m. and I did not spend my time with God. Lately I had been watching the Young & Restless on television and had a great desire to see it this morning at 11:00 a.m.. I had not prayed, thank God for waking me up this morning or read my Word. This let me know that I was consuming more of the world than of God. Its not what goes in a man that defiles him, but what is being set to come out of him.

God spoke to me and said as I was watching the story, “you are putting things before me” and I answered and said, “God no I am not”! God said “yes you are” and I just repented, turned the television off and spent time with God. I was guilty as charged so I had to get back on track. As I pen this message I hope that all that read this look and see where we got off track and repent. It takes more than just repenting; we must stop doing what it is that takes us away from God. It’s not the big things we call sin that gets us off track, but it’s the small unnoticeable things. All the time its not an act of sin that gets us off track with God but the neglect of duty. The whole duty of man is to hear the conclusion of the whole matter; fear God and keep his commandments.

Of course the saying (if you lie, you’ll steal, and if you steal, you will kill) is true without the actual act being performed. Many times we say we will do this or that later and its not that we are lying at the time but when we do not do what we say, we’ve lied. Not only do we lie but we steal God’s precious time to hear it and we kill His Spirit in us. Every Christian need to repent because we fail to apply our actions to our speech. We speak the Word we say we love, but then we don’t do what the Word of God has directed us to do. If we speak the Word it is by the Spirit and the Spirit only speaks what we have fed Him. He feeds on the Word. Never would I have thought that I had offended God. Offend my brother and sister yes, but not God. We are humans that look at things in the natural, but all of our actions have spiritual connotations attached to them. We cannot separate the natural from the spiritual because it is the Spirit that make us alive and we keep the Spirit alive through us feeding Him the Word. There is a junction, a union and the Word is the connecting force between the two. They must have a connecting relationship that joins Earth to Heaven. Earth connected to Heaven through a spoken Word. Man was created and put on the earth through a spoken Word. Heaven came to Earth through the work of God the Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. All three was there when the word was spoken “Let us make man in our image”.

Now what are we here for? We are here to bring Heaven down to Earth and to bring God back to every earthly being. We are to speak of the goodness of the Father to reconnect man once again to their heavenly Father as Jesus did when He came and Left us the help of the Holy Ghost. I Corinthians 10:3-4; and did all eat the same spiritual meat, and did all drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them; and that Rock was Christ. How do we get this spiritual meat and drink? We study the Word, hear the Word, pray the Word daily until we yield to the Holy Ghost that we may be endued with power from on High.
James 3:8, but the tongue no man can tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. We have to learn to use our tongues properly. How we use our tongue determines how our life will be on earth. The tongue (The Pink Tornado) can tear down man in every aspect of his life. We can use it to build up or tear down. It can tear down the strongholds in our lives or it can build up more strongholds. Only when our tongue has been submitted to God and give up its power to Him can it be tamed. The tongue can speak words at the wrong time and in improper context and cause all kinds of confusion. It can cause even Christians to curse God when it is not completely submitted to the Holy Ghost. That tongue scatters the chief of friends. Now the tongue when completely surrendered to God serves as a critical part of Jesus’ church in the Earth. We began to speak God’s Word and it brings forth life to the sinners that causes them to repent just as it did us. James says the tongue is often unruly; not submissive to rule or restraint, it produces turbulence. It causes violence or disturbances, marked by agitation. It stirs up, excites and arouse feelings or tumult in the mind. The tongue needs controlling so that the right words will be uttered led by the Spirit of God.

Now that the tongue is speaking as God requires the body to must do the things of God to keep the tongue speaking right. A good daily application of the Word is done through reading and studying the Word. Ask God to direct our study so that we learn what we need for our mind and heart to be renewed daily. Then we must hear the Word, attend all church services offered, prayer, Bible Study, and Worship. Buy the tapes and play them over and over into our hearing. The Word is a strong medicine but just like in the natural its no good if we do not use it.

I Corinthians 10:21, ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of devils; ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table and the table of devils. We cannot sat back and let people go to Hell. There is no excuse for sin. Jesus took away the excuses so that man is no longer ignorant; either we want God or we don’t. What we want, we follow. What is important to us, we follow. If we be followers of Christ then we pattern our lives after the things of Christ. He had struggles in this flesh but He overcame the flesh. As He suffered so will we but we have the same Comforter that came and comforted Him in His struggle.

We are guilty as charged, we have neglected our duty as Christians and we are well aware of it. We the people of God need to get back on track or the train is going to pull off without us. Although we have preached to others and they are saved, we can still be lost. When did the church get off track? To whom is forgiven much the same blesses much. The church don’t often recognize that we wrestle not against flesh and blood but spiritual wickedness in high places. We need to recognize who sits at the table of the hearts of men. Men are spirit controlled by Satan when they follow the things of the flesh. They do corruptible things in the flesh mainly to their temples. Who told man he was not a man? Our temples is the place where the Spirit dwells. God is a spirit and Satan is a spirit. Satan wants to rule the flesh because he wants to keep God out. Satan knows God has no part of sin and he lies to man by making us think that the things we do wrong in this flesh is alright when it isn’t. He seeks to steal that place in man that only God should have. After we submit to him he makes feel unworthy and keep us away from God by means of guilt. Guilt says I did wrong and shame says I am wrong. Little be known to us he kills our hope of salvation through manipulation. Satan is the master manipulator loosed after he was kicked out of Heaven. His only desire is to build his kingdom in Hell to be larger than the kingdom of Heaven. Man can’t beat Satan but Jesus has and we can overcome only through Jesus Christ. We can only come to God through Jesus Christ. It was Jesus that was crucified for our sin and rose again with victory over sin for all of mankind.

But we can only gain the wisdom of God through the knowledge of His Word and understand the working of the Spirit. Why did Jesus send us a comforter? John 16:7-15; The Holy Ghost is the Comforter that will convict or reprove the world of sin and of righteousness and of judgment. He will lead us, guide us into all truths, and teach us all things. He hears and speaks back to us the things we have heard of the Word. He teaches us and has knowledge from God what we have need of that He makes intercession for us. He was in the beginning with the Word and the Father and bear record with them in Heaven for they are all one. We hear what the Spirit has to say. John 3:5; Jesus answered, verily, verily I say unto thee, except a man be born of water and of the spirit, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God. Matthew 10:20; for it is not ye that speaks but the Spirit of you Father with speaks in you.

Christians, my brother, my sister wake up, its time for us to stop lying to ourselves. We are only hear for God’s use. Use that pink tornado to pray, not asking God for things but against the spirits that are rampant in the land. We cannot reach a soul until we rebuke the spirit that keeps them bound. We are God’s mouthpiece, I speak as to wise men, judge ye what I say. Pray for the protection of our children for generations to come. Pray against the spirit of the devil dwelling in man to go back to the pit; burning up the spirit of lying staling murder, homosexuality, perversion, lesbianism, divorce, adultery, fornication, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envy, alcoholism, nicotine, and every thing else that exalt itself against the kingdom of Heaven. These are spirits burning in the lusts of the flesh, the lust of the eye, and the pride of life. One can chase a thousand, two ten thousand. A fine church for worship is fine; but the actual work is outside the four walls where sin is rampant. If we be true drug dealers sell drugs right outside of our churches. Prostitutes set up shop on the doorsteps of the church. Why do they sin so close to the church? Is it because really they need what’s on the inside to come to the outside to rescue them? Lets get back to basics it is not okay for one soul to go to Hell.

The power of prayer is not for things but for people to be delivered from the bondage of sin. Its time to use prayer as a tool of righteousness, praying out of ourselves and for someone else. Pray against spiritual wickedness in high places and of course pray for world leaders to turn to God for direction in leadership. This kind is not favorable to man, you will become rejected and an enemy, but be led of the Spirit. Lets get back on track and get submitted to the will of God. We are guilty as charged, a Christian demon is not what we want to be. Lets entreat one another as brothers and sisters, keep our peace and on in the joy of the Lord.
