Apologetics with a cashier today went something like this:
Cashier looking at a comic book I am buying about the apostle Paul: “That’s an interesting way to learn about the Bible. I used to have the graphic Bible when I was a kid. I read it all the time.”
Me: We have that one! We like it.
Cashier: Did you know that Jesus traveled to India and talked to Buddha?
Me: 🤨 Buddha wasn’t alive during Jesus’ time on earth.
Cashier: There are a lot of things the Bible doesn’t say about where Jesus traveled and what He did. The Quran says…
Me: 🤨 Do you know who wrote the Quran? We need to be careful about where we learn the truth from.
Cashier: Well, the Bible is written by people who used word of mouth stories to compile it. So I’m sure they made mistakes and missed some things.
Me: The Bible is totally inspired by the Holy Spirit, who is The Truth (the Spirit of Jesus).
*finishes checking out*
Me: Go look up who wrote the Quran. 😊
Well, who was expecting that conversation? Not me! But when are we ever expecting to have a conversation with a stranger to defend our faith? This is why we must be ready in season and out of season to give an account for WHY we believe what we do and what is THE TRUTH.
This young lady had grown up reading the Bible and was probably in church as well. But the enemy has snuck in there and twisted the truth, which is the meaning of wickedness: twisted truth, and now she is wandering around looking for The Truth somewhere else.
God’s people MUST be discipled before they are released into the world. We must have these conversions about tough topics with our children and grandchildren or I guarantee you, someone else will (college professors, coaches, teachers, peers, etc) and that lying serpent tongue will twist the truth and lead your babies astray!
One hour a week on Sunday is NOT going to do it! These people are starving for the truth!! 🙏

This should be the prayer of our hearts every day!
23 God, I invite your searching gaze into my heart. Examine me through and through; find out everything that may be hidden within me. Put me to the test and sift through all my anxious cares. 24 See if there is any path of pain I’m walking on, and lead me back to your glorious, everlasting way— the path that brings me back to you. (Psalms 139:23-24 TPT)

It looks like the church is going to need to accept that demons are real & only Jesus can set people free from their torment! When the glory shows up, it exposes what is hiding and makes a believer out of an unbeliever very quickly. 🥳Hallelujah!!

Deliverance is the children’s bread. It is for those who are walking with Jesus, otherwise evil spirits will come back 7X worse! By “believer” and “unbeliever,” in my previous post, I am referring to Christians who negate deliverance ministry. The whole world is about to know there is power in the name of Jesus and that deliverance is for Christians (Israel on this side of the Bible)! 🙌🏻
“Then Jesus left and went north into the non-Jewish region of Lebanon. He encountered there a Canaanite woman who shouted out to him, “Lord, Son of David, show mercy to me! My daughter is horribly afflicted by a demon that torments her.” But Jesus never answered her. So his disciples said to him, “Why do you ignore this woman who is crying out to us?” Jesus said, “I’ve only been sent to the lost sheep of Israel.” But she came and bowed down before him and said, “Lord, help me!” Jesus responded, “It’s not right for a man to take bread from his children and throw it out to the dogs.” “You’re right, Lord,” she replied. “But even puppies get to eat the crumbs that fall from the prince’s table.” Then Jesus answered her, “Dear woman, your faith is strong! What you desire will be done for you.” And at that very moment, her daughter was instantly set free from demonic torment.”
Matthew 15:21-28 TPT
““When a demon is cast out of a person, it roams around a dry region, looking for a place to rest, but never finds it. Then it says, ‘I’ll return to the house I moved out of,’ and so it goes back, only to find that the house is vacant, warm, and ready for it to move back in. So it goes looking for seven other demons more evil than itself, and they all enter together to live there. Then the person’s condition becomes much worse than it was in the beginning. This describes what will also happen to the people of this evil generation.””
Matthew 12:43-45 TPT

A friend of mine wrote this and it is one of the truest statements I have ever read about the five-fold ministry. 👇
“As I’ve studied the noscriptures over the years I’ve come to realize that the five-fold ministry does not look how I have typically thought of it or have often seen it expressed.
Biblical apostleship looks less like being the overseer or founder of a christian franchise and more like a life of self-sacrificial service that entails much suffering and hardship as examples of Christ to the church (1 Corinthians 4:9-13).
Biblical prophets look less like being a Christain fortune-teller and more like ones who declares unpopular messages to turn God's people back to the ancient paths (Matthew 5:12).
Biblical evangelist looks less like being one who stands on big stages putting on huge crusades and more like those who are speaking good things to come to those who are in difficult places in their life (Romans 10:15).
Biblical pastoring looks less like being the CEO of a business and more like being a shepherd who cleans up messes, fights off predators, and is required to be extremely patient as those in their care slowly grow over time. (John 10:11-15)
Biblical teachers looks less like being a self-help guru and more like opening up the Scriptures so the hearers can know God and walk in obedience to His word. (2 Timothy 4:1-4; John 17:3)
Looking back, I think I would be more hesitant to strive for a church leadership noscript if I saw them in their proper biblical lens and not as a means to find my identity and self-worth.”

I heard the second part of this noscripture during my quiet time with the Lord this morning. We know what the word says about the devil looking for someone to devour, but look at that promise that comes after the suffering (from trial and tribulation). Even Jesus focused on the JOY that was set before Him while He endured the cross. Let us remember to do the same! What we focus on is what we glorify. We are not supposed to focus on the storm, or what the enemy is doing, or our frustrations due to circumstance; but as Yahweh’s people, we are called to focus on the restoration that comes after each trial, and we do so through praising the Father in the midst of the storm! Our greatest weapon is praise! The devil hates when we ignore him and instead give the glory to Jesus, who restores what the enemy came to kill, to steal, and to destroy.
Jesus is restoring the years the locusts have eaten! Hallelujah!
“Be well balanced and always alert, because your enemy, the devil, roams around incessantly, like a roaring lion looking for its prey to devour. Take a decisive stand against him and resist his every attack with strong, vigorous faith. For you know that your believing brothers and sisters around the world are experiencing the same kinds of troubles you endure.
(This. 👉) And then, after your brief suffering, the God of all loving grace, who has called you to share in his eternal glory in Christ, will personally and powerfully restore you and make you stronger than ever. Yes, he will set you firmly in place and build you up.”
1 Peter 5:8-10 TPT

Long story short, this morning I felt led to write and to publicly apologize to many. Here it goes.
I was full of pride, judgment, and self-righteous. I harshly judged the church that Jesus died to save. My own frustrations caused my disposition to be out of line in so many ways. And for that, I truly, deeply, apologize to anyone who was effected by my speech or actions.
It is His KINDNESS which leads us to repentance. And that is something I have battled to represent as an ambassador of Christ. My tongue desperately needed to be tamed and more than that, my own heart needed to be cleansed.
But my greatest obstacle to a heart-cleansing was thinking I was in the right, when I was not.
Who is right? Who is good? Who is perfect in all their ways? Not me. Not by a long shot.
Only God is fully good, right, and perfect. And I am completely undeserving of His love and grace and mercy, but yet, He chooses to renew those every morning. Why? I don’t know. But that is the God I love and long to be more like.
Religion and self-righteousness will never lead someone to Christ. It only leads to more bondage, which Jesus came to set us free from. I know this to be true, because my judgments toward others and the church in general did not bring any to repentance. It only caused more division, which is not the heart of the Father.
All I want in life is to know God and to be known by Him. I don’t want recognition from man. I don’t want empires or noscripts. I don’t want what this world has to offer because it is all smoke; here one moment and gone the next.
All I want is Jesus and for others to know how loving and kind and good He really is, despite how I have so painfully misrepresented Him.
So if anything I have said or done offended, hurt, or caused you to turn your eyes away from Jesus, please know that He is nothing like the ugliness of my own heart and He deserves another chance.
He has a plan and a purpose for your life that is SO good, your imagination cannot even comprehend it! You are so loved and seen by the Creator of all the universe and He longs to know you in a way that will cause every fiber of your being to call upon His name and never look for another.
Long live King Jesus, who was and is and is to come!

“He’s faithful through generations
So why would He fail now?
He won’t.”
“Now this phrase “once and for all” clearly indicates the final removal of things that are shaking, that is, the old order, so only what is unshakable will remain. Since we are receiving our rights to an unshakable kingdom we should be extremely thankful and offer God the purest worship that delights his heart as we lay down our lives in absolute surrender, filled with awe.”

This noscripture has continually come up since last night; Holy Spirit is speaking!
“I’m writing to encourage you to fan into a flame and rekindle the fire of the spiritual gift God imparted to you when I laid my hands upon you. For God will never give you the spirit of fear, but the Holy Spirit who gives you mighty power, love, and self-control.”
2 Timothy 1:6-7 TPT
Also, for Alumni Partners: I posted a new video today. It’s a prophetic word the Lord gave me on February 5th. I hope it blesses you!

Monthly Members and Alumni Partners: a new teaching has been uploaded to your MoonClerk account. 😊
Members: The teaching is from the Torch Bearers discipleship course that I teach. Recently, I have felt the Holy Spirit leading me to give access to this particular teaching in order to help answer some questions regarding deliverance and who it is for.
Questions such as:
“Can a Christian have a demon? Where do demons dwell and why? Can a demon dwell within the same body as someone who has the Holy Spirit? What does the Bible say about these things?” are answered in this teaching.
Alumni Partners: this will help refresh your memory on the topic in case you have questions come your way. I know the “Come Out in Jesus Name” documentary has sparked a lot of conversation lately!
I pray it blesses y’all! 😊
