The state of the church is starting to become like the days of the Pharisees. Laws and rules are emphasized more than following the leadership of the Holy Spirit. When Jesus was on earth He mentioned said in Mar 2:17 “ …I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” We are called to help those who are in need of the Gospel, we are called to love people and lead them to Jesus. I think the church today needs to learn to give people the benefit of the doubt. When Jesus was on earth the people He was angry with most of the time were the Pharisees. They were supposed to be the ones who knew and practiced the law but they were using the law to hurt people and push their own agendas. I sometimes wonder where all the rules and laws in the Christian community come from; here are examples of false rules and laws in the Christian community • “if a church is big it means God is there” • “if people receive healing in a church it means God is there” • “if someone performs miracl

The flesh cannot be tamed by our human strength. No matter how hard we try and no matter how many rules we create and follow, the flesh will remain the flesh. The only way to have victory over the flesh is to surrender to the leadership of our Lord Jesus Christ. He is the only one who had victory over the flesh. Once we are born again we have to reckon and understand that the Lord has given us victory over the flesh. On our own we cannot and will never have victory over the desires of the flesh. As long as we are here on earth the flesh will continually have war with the Holy Spirit. The flesh is flesh even the good part of the flesh is still evil. When we accomplish things by way of the flesh, even good things, its still evil. The flesh is very crafty, it knows that we humans like to look good and we like to worship God. It will make it seem like we are on the right path. The pride of the flesh is very dangerous. This week I want us to be careful of the flesh, both the sinfu

Philippians 3:13-14 "....Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus." There are so many people or events that can hurt us, and sometimes we are faced with people who may be cruel to us. Today I advice you to allow yourself to let go. Holding on to hurt only builds bitterness. Bitterness is very crafty, it can sneak into your heart and before you know it you are this person full of hate and anger. We have to be very careful about what we say about those who have hurt us. We need to listen to ourselves speaking. What are we saying and thinking about others, I know sometimes it may be hard to let go of some people but by God's grace we can. It will only benefit us to let go. It is for our own good. We don't want to move around full of bitterness. LET GO CHOMI

Romans 6:6 "Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin." As born again children of God we have to live this Scripture. We need to know that the old man is dead. Our old man of sin is crucified with Christ. We have to understand that this kind of knowing is not only knowing with our minds. It has top be an experience. We have to know with our spirit. Our inner man has to have an encounter with the Lord Jesus. Lets be clear not to serve the old man of sin. God trough the Holy Spirit has given us the ability to serve Him. Let the old man remain dead
