I once was an associate to a popular pastor in a large church. A big mistake that I never repeated. However, I learned a lot about “playing it safe.” The game has several rules that I broke and continue to break today. The reason is that God did not call anyone to “play it safe.”

Nevertheless, “playing it safe” is considered a necessary paradigm to advance one’s career. About the career thingy, I’m not interested in that either. One of my friends disinvited me as a speaker for a large event because he believed one of my beliefs would create a problem. He remarked that he did not want to build someone’s career that he might not agree with. I thought, “I don’t have one of those (career).”

To someone who is called by God unto a position, he or she does not seek a career or a carefully crafted image to protect by compromise or “wise diplomacy.” Certainly, there is room for tact, and we should not be perceived as scurrilous and carnal individuals. But Christ made Himself of no reputation (Philippians 2:7). He certainly did not become a man of ill repute but took on the form of a servant.

That is what a man or woman of God is—a servant, not only to people but to God. That is not “playing it safe.” They put their lives in the crosshairs of gossip hunters, pointy fingers, tongues on fire with bile and bitterness, and nowadays, weaponized Social Media. Our “safe space” can only be accessed on our knees. Otherwise, we do not have a “safe” place on the frontline of God’s will. Continue reading

An event called Global Awakening is coming to a large city nearby. I saw people I knew personally commenting positively about it, so I posted the truth on their Facebook ad. It was founded by a notorious heretic and emissary of Satan, and its speaker roster is filled with diabolical charlatans. Predictably, they removed my comments and blocked me. That is not going to stop me from exposing it as a work of Satan.

This is not the period to speak softly when exposing the darkness. If it was a raging, out-of-control wildfire consuming everything in its path, we would be warning people and take actions to prevent our loved ones from losing their lives.

Worse than a wildfire is a deluge of wicked deception, a virtual tsunami of very compelling evil people and their satanically empowered works that are encompassing our nation and the world. They claim to be God’s people, but their view of God is that He works their works of darkness, exalts people and their gifts like Hollywood stars, makes them exorbitantly wealthy, and struts them about on stages like eminent members of His special and elite army, et cetera. In truth, they are frauds operating in satanic power and mimicking the gifts and supernatural works of God.

This is their day—a day of darkness, of very little discernment, and of people that crave from their religious activity the same adrenalin rush and sensationalism that occurs when they get emotionally drunk on the entertainment of the world system. It is the era of compromised professing Christians, of a religious people too fat with the world system to receive one thing from God. However, they always seem capable of cramming in another confection from Satan’s “ministers of righteousness.” Continue reading

Peter wrote about suffering, that one could suffer for doing evil, or doing good (1 Peter 4:15-16). But the fact is that God’s people appear to be suffering unjustly. Wicked people take advantage of the Believer’s suffering to insist that they are being punished by God for heresy. However, God’s word does not state, “Many are the afflictions of the heretics.” (Psalm 34:19)

God’s people may indeed be under His chastising, but He only chastises the ones He loves (Hebrews 12:6). However, the wicked often appear to be greatly blessed by the measurement of earthly standards.

Asaph wrote about that status of the wicked:

“Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish.” (Psalm 73:7)

Asaph erroneously focused on the deceptively “better” life of the wicked. He reached the point where he began to believe that he was living righteously in vain.

“Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches. Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency. For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning.” (Psalm 73:12-14) Continue reading
