Light in the midst of Darkness vol. 1

I will preface the following with my recognition for allowing myself to tolerate and participate in the convolution of my belief foundations, my walk, and what I reflect. Let's call it what it is, hypocrisy. This is so that the pure truth of what I will share may resound and not fall to the wayside. To those whom I have not shown the truth of what I believe, let today be the beginning of this. To those with whom I have demonstrated the pure reflection of my savior Yeshua this is an affirmation of that. Where is this coming from? There's a stirring in my spirit that has been dormant recently due to many issues and circumstances that I have face in recent months.
With that said I would like to give credit for stirring this in my spirit, to Brother G. Craige Lewis of exministries.com. The Lord is using this man with a message to the church and the young generation in our churches. Why preach to the choir? Well this is because Lucifer has targeted the church to destroy it and completely kill the move of the Holy Spirit in them.
The truth is that many of us have tolerated, included, and even enjoyed the music and the lifestyles that are poured into us via TV, radio, and the internet. I have been a big proponent of being careful to what I watch or allow myself to listen to. Why? Because in this information age there so much junk that is pumped out from people who are disturbed, hurt, and needing of a savior. Let me give you an example of what I am talking about. One of the top 5 movies on the box office is “Jennifer’s Body”, a movie about a girl who’s possessed by demons and feeds on human beings, while engaging in promiscuous sex. Read the lyrics to the top 5 songs on the billboards, and they all talk about the lifestyle of parties, drugs, drinking, and sex. What I’m getting to is that the world agenda is pushed on to us, and the more we allow it to infiltrate our minds and surroundings the more we become anesthetized and let it consume us. We buy what they tell us to buy, we dress like they say we need to dress; we live how they say we must live. Don’t believe me? Why do you do what you do? Where did you get that idea or why did you come to the realization that this is what you need. You got the idea from something you heard or saw?
There is great power in knowledge. Why? Well because your decisions are based on what you know and don’t know. If you knew that there was an accident on the highway you take home from work, you would try to find an alternate route. If you didn’t know you would be stuck in traffic for hours. You see you decide based on what you know. How do you come to the conclusions that you come to? They are based on the information that is given to you. What if you found out that the information you are given is controlled and designs to form a pattern of thought that is not necessarily yours but picked for you. That is what we are faced with daily.
So my rant is solely to help anyone and everyone wake up and see what is really going down in our world. In the coming editions of this blog I will share information as well as attach links to videos of Brother G. Craige Lewis and others that are shedding the light on the darkness that is our world today. “He, who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” Revelations 2:29.

Tomorrow...Now!!

Every day brings hope of something new and more powerful than the last. Today my heart is yearning to see a mighty move of God in our nation, that will counter everything the devil is doing to bring down great ministries. I really want to see the holy spirit bring a fresh wind of renewal and repentance into our houses, schools, and churches. A spiritual revolution that marks history like the civil rights movements of the 60's. I see how sexual immorality is huge disease that is affecting the church in general, not to mention the whole world. I am amazed at how people get more bold by the day. Young children! are involved in "sexting" and other disgusting perverted sexual acts. It is said that the average age of pornography addiction is now 11 years old! It is also said that 50% of pornography viewers are so called "christians". If they alone would stop buying pornography the industry would crash down. In a day where our economic situation continues to grow more and more challenging and difficult, we see college students prostituting themselves to pay for school and expenses. What is the answer to all of this that the church is refusing to acknowledge? I pray that the Father raise up an army of young people that will move in the awesome power of the holy spirit so that this perverse generation will com to the foot of the cross and cry out for change and salvation. Tomorrow needs to be NOW!!!

The Call

"Only by your power can we push back our enemies; only in your name we can trample our foes. I do not trust in my bow; I do not count on my sword to save me. You are the one who gives us victory over our enemies; you disgrace those who hate us. O God, we give glory to you all day long and constantly praise your name." Psalms 44:5-8

Today more than ever the church, and by the church I mean the true disciples of Yeshua, is fighting the rise of Jezebel and Baal in this nation and all across the world. As I travel to different places, like the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico I find more and more how many young people are succumbing to the perversion that is pumped through television, internet, and Hollywood. Society has pushed a lifestyle that goes against everything that Yeshua came to this world to reveal to his disciples. I use his Hebrew name because I wish to call him by the un-translated name given through the angel of God to Mary. Anyways Jezebel’s rebellious and out right defiance of God has manifested more today than ever before. There are a couple of reasons why I believe this is happening.
1) These young generations are largely lost looking for their identity, because their parents are not there to teach and lay the foundations of wisdom and holiness. This has sparked many movements of expression and experimental living. Young people are not only experimenting with drugs, alcohol, they are experimenting with perverted sexual lifestyles that show no boundaries. The lack of identity has impacted this generation so much and young people across the world are crying out in many ways. The church has to step out of their religious box and be a father, mother, or brother to these young people so that God can move and reveal himself to them, giving them their true identity.
2) Many churches have moved from being the forefront on living for holiness, to (in false love) being tolerant of perverse lifestyles. With so many ministers and ministries that are falling from grace, and the divorce rate in the church being higher than outside the church, young people have lost trust and respect in what is being spoken. Many ministers and parents have become Ahab, and allowed Jezebel to come and do what she wants, when she wants, and how she wants. When people care more about their programs and services than listening to the heart of God, they lose touch just like Judah did in the Old Testament. When you compromise with holiness, the spirit of God leaves and churches dry out. Divisions in churches because religion is more important than the Kingdom of God, are taking place more and more. Pastors are quitting everyday because they have lost the passion for the ministry. Ministers grow tired of living a lifestyle at church and one outside from church that they give up and decide to live their own selfish life outside church, where there is no accountability and no commitment.
So what to do about this? A couple of years ago God stirred in my heart that he is going to raise up a generation of Elijah’s that will confront Ahab and Jezebel, not for their own personal glory but so that “these people will know that you, O Lord, are God and that you have brought them back to yourself” I Kings 18:37b. It just took one man who believed to stand up. This is what Prophetic Rain Ministries is about, standing up against Jezebel and Ahab so that the world can feel the rain of the Holy Spirit and come back to God. Will you stand up?
