In Trump's America Jesus Would Be Turned Away

I am utterly appalled at the things Christians are justifying these days.

When you think about it we, as people of God should be on the side of giving those who need asylum help and safety, of showing compassion to those who need it.

The fact that we aren't shows how far from God the American Church really is. The Fact is

American Christians Are Being Tested and Failing Miserably.

We condone people having their children ripped away from them while on Sunday praising the Savior who was an immigrant and needed asylum.

In Matthew 2 we see Matthew's account of Jesus birth and that Herod, the king at the time was threatened by his birth and sought to kill him. Because of this the angel of the Lord told Mary and Joseph to flee to Egypt (v13).

...God’s angel showed up again in Joseph’s dream and commanded, “Get up. Take the child and his mother and flee to Egypt. Stay until further notice. Herod is on the hunt for this child, and wants to kill him.” 

Now what if this took place in 2018? What would have happened if Mary and Joseph had encountered border patrol in today's America? Jesus would have been ripped away from his father and nursing mother and put in a cage. That is what we are doing to all these families.

The argument that the government has rules is BS. Yes the government has rules and we are told by God to be good citizens and to give to Caesar (government) what is Caesar's (Matthew 22:19-22). But we are also to give God what is God's. And above all else we are to follow God's commandments (Matthew 22:37-40). They are 1. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul and mind. 2. Love your neighbor as yourself. 

What is happening now is not within God's commandments and there is nothing that you can say as a Christian to justify this. The fact that many are trying to is disgraceful and you do God a disservice by representing Him abhorrently. 

We as Christians seem to think we are above rebuke and that we need to point out the needle in other people's eyes but let me tell you something, the Pharisees were and neither are we. If we don't get it right here God will get us all the way together when we stand before Him at judgment when He identifies the stake protruding from our own eyes. When He asks you, "How could you do that to the least of these in My Name?" What will your response be? Trust me nothing will get you off the hook.

I am beyond disgusted by our display. The heart of God is grieved!

We need to really examine ourselves and repent. I'm talking to believers here because if Jesus was here he would be upturning tables at our unrighteous, arrogant, and unloving ways. 

When I think of those children, scared and unsure I see the face of Jesus and his parents; running in the night trying to escape a king set on killing him, his mother praying that when they got to Egypt they would be safe and his father trying to assure her they would be. How cruel are we that people are running for their lives only to met with unnecessary evil and unkindness. I cannot believe that we as Christians who say we love God are able to justify this. 

This is not of God and we should be ashamed. And if you are not, I am ashamed for you.

Praise Break: Hymn of Breakthough

 I have been in a time of Worship and Praise since early this morning and for the last 3 hours I've been listening to Israel Houghton's Feels Like Home. It has been blessing me. But the very last song was the Hymn of Breakthough. There has been such a shift in my mindset, in my expectancy of God in the last almost 20 days. I'm expecting a breakthough or even breakthrough. The lyrics say, I hear the sound of breakthough, my breakthrough is here. Everything that I need You supply. Every promise of Heaven is mine. But the words that spoke to my spirit, I am healed, I am free God has spoken I agree My breakthrough is here God has spoken, I agree. God has spoken, I agree. God has spoken, I agree. God has spoken, I agree. Let the words follow over you, let in seep to you Soul so that you know, God has a breakthrough for. No matter what you are going through, no matter the sitution. God said, God said your breakthrough is here. Stand i...

2022 is the Year of Free

Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is Liberty.           - 2 Corinthians 3:17 Last year's word was birth and God delivered on that word but not in the way I expected. I thoguht there was to be a new business or revenue stream, a new home, or some other tangible things birthed in this season. However God was saying, Damaris I'm going to birth a new you. In the last quarter of this year I have seen God do an amazing work in my life. It wasn't physical, material things. I haven't moved, still living in my parents house. I don't have a new business, in fact I haven't been able to dedicate the time I wanted to the business I have. I don't have a new revenue stream either but God has kept me and my family which has been a blessing. Instead, He birthed a new mindset, a new outlook, peace and trust in Him. He birthed a new and deeper relationship with Him. He birthed forgiveness and healing in my soul that I have never had.  So ...

Expectation in God

  So now wrap your heart tightly around the hope that lives within us, knowing that God always keeps his promises!     -Hebrews 10:23, Passion Translation   I was taught that expecting God to give me things or do things for me was bad. We’re told to ask God for things but, in the same breath, not expect Him to give them to us. It was in the name of piety but how backward is that? Especially because it contradicts God’s Word. Then on the flip side, now we tell people to "Name it and claim it" but that leads to disillusioned Christians disappointed that God hasn't granted their wishes. God isn't a genie. That contradicts God's Word too. How many of us know the scripture, ask and it will be given to you, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened to you? ( Matthew 7:7-8) If this is true, which it is, doesn’t that create expectancy? Doesn’t that mean I should expect to receive something? Of cour...
