You Are God's Plan for the Poor

Whatever promises God made in His Word concerning addressing the needs of the poor, make no mistake:
His plan to accomplish this will always be through us.

The evidence of that statement is clearly expressed in Philippians 2:13:

"For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure." (Philippians 2:13)

This scripture is renewing, in the sense that while we may feel the need to assist someone in a lesser position, the reality, according to Philippians 2:13, is that God ignited our desire to help, because it is His will to assist whomever He is directing us to. God will help that person as promised, but we are His feet and hands on the earth.

Why He Positions the Poor in Your Path

It is never by accident or chance that you're motivated to assist the less fortunate. Believe me when I say this: God is fully aware of the events concerning your life and your future. When He positions someone less fortunate than you in your path, He is inviting you to invest in that person's life, so that He can assist you in your own future troubles:

"Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble. The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies. The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness." (Psalm 41:1-3)

According to God's plan, the poor unknowingly help us, even as our mission is to help them. This revelation emphasizes the importance of compassion and empathy for our fellow man, and of obeying the still small voice of the Holy Spirit as He continues to inspire us to meet the needs of the less privileged.

Please, don't ever miss another opportunity to help the poor who unknowingly came to help you. We are the hands and feet of God on the earth, sent to manifest His promises among each other.

"For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper. He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy." (Psalm 72:12-13)

The New Generation of Leaders: Stepping Aside for God's Next Move

Dr. Myles Munroe spoke extensively about a new generation of up-and-coming leaders just before his
passing. In his statement, he mentioned how many would die, and in some cases, their deaths would be unexplainable. He said this would all be part of the transition of ushering in God's new leaders.

I was convinced a long time ago that the generation Dr. Munroe spoke of exists among us today. However, they've been suppressed and oppressed by those who refuse to accept that their time and purpose in leadership positions is done. It's time to step aside gracefully as God presents His new set of non-compromising leaders.

Scripture speaks directly to this understanding:

"And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding." (Daniel 2:21)

A Generation Suppressed, Not Absent

I am also convinced that this understanding is not limited to religious organizations, but applies to every area of life. I have already witnessed some of these transitions, and I am confident more are on the way. Some churches, businesses, and even families will not grow or advance, and specific curses and backwardness will not be removed, until certain people are moved out of the way. The reality is that their archaic way of thinking and leading has frustrated and delayed God's will for many. In other words, many who are under them should be much further along than they currently are.

It's Not Just the Church

Based on the apparent changing of the times, coupled with the audacity to stand against the establishment, I see myself as one of the emerging leaders Dr. Munroe spoke of, part of this new leadership generation. Many like myself are relentless in seeking the consistent, manifested power of God in action. We are done with the traditions, the culture, the nursery rhymes, and the seed-sowing exercises that have produced zero results over the years for the parishioners, but excellent returns for those who lead them.

Joseph: Conditioned Through Hardship

Whoever you are reading this, if you feel you are among the new emerging leaders coming forth, the Lord has likened you to Joseph, the son of Jacob. Joseph was hurled into slavery, hated by his brothers, falsely accused by Potiphar's wife, and imprisoned. He had no idea that it was during these very seasons of hardship and oppression, especially at the hands of those he loved most, that he was being conditioned for the new order of leadership he would unknowingly be catapulted into.

A Different Spirit

Like Caleb and Joshua, these new leaders will carry a different spirit:

"But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, I will bring him into the land whereunto he went." (Numbers 14:24)

Trust me when I say this: they can only keep their foot on you for so long, only as long as God Almighty has assigned them to. Nevertheless, the day is quickly approaching when you will be catapulted and advanced to where you were destined to be before the foundation of the world. God has called you to lead. If you examine your hardship, your troubles, and the way people treated you, you'll see it was God's way of conditioning you for leadership, in most cases showing you, through the behavior of your oppressors, what not to be like when it is your time to shine and lead.

Know When to Pass the Baton

Your most important lesson during this season of conditioning, my friend, is to always stay conscious of the glaring facts: when your purpose is up, and when it is time to step aside and pass the baton to the next generation of leaders. Do not die with the baton in your hand that you should have passed on long ago.

In the coming months, we will see the emergence of more new leaders, despite those who try to hold on to what has already expired for them.

Times and Seasons: Why God's Delay Is Not Denial

Time is advancing you toward what you have been praying for. Please do not allow the pressures, anxiety,
and impatience of life to cause you to judge God foolishly.

Times and Seasons Are Purpose Managers

"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven." (Ecclesiastes 3:1)

Every purpose is governed by times and seasons. It will make no difference how many times we ask God for a particular thing, or how loudly we cry out for it in prayer. The law of time and seasons will always govern its arrival. All of us have an assigned amount of time to exist on earth. Times and seasons are also purpose managers.

Before any of the things I'm about to mention can occur, we must exist first, obvious as that sounds. This is why Ecclesiastes 3:2 opens with, "A time to be born, and a time to die." We are assigned specific times and seasons on the earth, from the date of birth to the time of death, to accomplish a particular purpose. However, fulfilling that purpose requires certain experiences. No matter what your goal may be, you will encounter and have to deal with the following seasons:

A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
a time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
a time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
a time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. (Ecclesiastes 3:2-8)

Ecclesiastes 3:2-8 can also be called the law of the temporary because, in essence, it teaches that nothing exists forever. This passage is especially relevant to those who have recently lost a loved one. In times of death, we quickly realize that all of us, and all things, will one day be spoken of only in the past tense. That simply means the time of expiration has arrived.

Time Comes With Judgment

"A wise man's heart discerneth both time and judgment." (Ecclesiastes 8:5)

Simply put, a person who understands the law of time and seasons knows that alongside time being assigned to everything, judgment also accompanies it. We are accountable for the time given to our purpose. This is why we are commanded to redeem the time:

"Redeeming the time, because the days are evil." (Ephesians 5:16)

Redeem the Time

I want to say to someone: stop wasting time, and focus on doing what God has placed you on the earth to do. Please consider that grudges, bitterness, unforgiveness, and offenses consume the limited time and seasons we have. When it's time to exit, we cannot reclaim those times or seasons.

I strongly suggest we allow the written law of Ecclesiastes 3:2-8 to remind us that everyone and everything has an expiration date. If you simply observe what's going on in the world, the expiration dates of many are arriving quicker than expected.

Make no mistake, the days are quickly approaching when you and I, just like those who have gone before us, will make our exit, only to stand before the supreme Judge of times and seasons to give an account of how we managed our allotted time to fulfill His will for our lives.

Vengeance Belongs To God Not Born Again Believers

Send back to the sender prayers go directly against the following scriptures below. It is wrong to reverse a curse on another human being. It is scripturally wrong to plot evil against your human enemies. The scriptures below advise us, the children of The Most High, to bless and NOT curse, to pray and not speak evil of our enemies.

Some said God gave them permission to pray against their enemies with such scriptures as Psalm 35, 109, etc. Why would God give someone permission to go against his own laws? If God is in the business of enabling us to pray against our physical enemies. Then why should He stop there? Why not throw in there fornication, lying, adultery, etc. those that are filled with bitterness, hate and unforgiveness refuse to accept the amendment of the old law that states, "eye for an eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot" Exodus 21:24. Jesus in the new Covenant amended this former law by stating the following,

"You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ 39 But I tell you not to resist an evil person. But whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also. 40 If anyone wants to sue you and take away your tunic, let him have your cloak also."Matthew 5:38-40. Our role in dealing with our enemies is to FORGIVE AND NOT TO SEEK REVENGE via send back to sender prayers against our human enemies.

The word Amend means to change or modify (something) for the better. So if the former law of Exodus 21:24 was changed in Matthew 5:38-40, I find it confusing that God would give someone permission to use an outdated law, especially when that outdated law was amended. Many of us use the term "God told us" when the truth is the spirits of anger, bitterness coupled with unforgiveness speaking to our unforgiving hearts. But, again, our role as Believers of Jesus Christ is to FORGIVE OUR ENEMIES, WHILE IT IS GOD'S ROLE TO DISTRIBUTE VENGEANCE UPON THEM! Yes, you have a right to be angry, disappointed, etc. But YOU DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO SEEK REVENGE ON THEM ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES!!!

Proverbs 24:17-18

Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:

Lest the Lord see it, and it displeases him, and he turns away his wrath from him.

Romans 12:21

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Matthew 5:44-46

But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.

Titus 3:2

Speak evil of no man

2 Thessalonians 1:6

Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you.

Romans 12:19

Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

Deuteronomy 32:35

To me belongeth vengeance and recompense;

Proverbs 25:21

If thine enemy is hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he is thirsty, give him water to drink:

Romans 12:20

Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirsts, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.

Mark 11:25

And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

1 John 4:20

If a man says, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen.

1 John 3:15

Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.

Proverbs 16:7

When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.

1 Peter 3:9

When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.

Exodus 23:22

If you listen carefully to what he says and do all that I say, I will be an enemy to your enemies and will oppose those who oppose you.

Luke 6:28

Bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.

Psalm 44:7

But You have saved us from our adversaries, And You have put to shame those who hate us.

Luke 6:35

"But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for He, Himself is kind to ungrateful and evil men.

Discerning What Your Five Senses Cannot: The Language of the Human Spirit

Our human spirit communicates with the spirit world through discernment, a language that can be difficult
to trust for those who rely primarily on their five senses to gain understanding.

The Spirit of God has warned you about someone you've been uneasy around for some time now. But as usual, your reliance on your five senses has convinced you that your feeling is just a figment of your imagination. Despite the absence of any physical evidence, the uneasy feeling persists. Let's examine Scripture to clarify this strange, yet true, occurrence.

Your Spirit Perceives What Your Senses Cannot.

Paul writes that the deep things of God are revealed by a mechanism that has nothing to do with the eyes or the ears:

"But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God." (1 Corinthians 2:9-10)

He then draws the comparison that grounds this entire teaching:

"For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God." (1 Corinthians 2:11)

In other words, your spirit can perceive and discern things beyond your five physical senses. Through your spirit, you can understand and become aware of spiritual things you would have no other way of knowing. This is not a new or fringe idea. Scripture describes it as a built-in function of how God designed man:

"The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly." (Proverbs 20:27)

Your spirit was designed to search and to sense what your eyes cannot see, and your ears cannot hear.

When Your Spirit Says No

This is why, if you're in a room with a stranger, and that stranger leaves, you may find yourself saying, without any evidence to point to, "My spirit doesn't take to that person" or "My spirit doesn't agree with that person." Notice what you said: your spirit, not your eyes, not your ears, not your logic. Nothing available to your five senses revealed it to you. Something deeper did.

It is crucial to walk according to the guidance of the Holy Spirit, so you are not misled by the flesh, meaning your five senses. In moments like these, the Holy Spirit is speaking directly to your human spirit, and your job is to recognize His voice rather than talk yourself out of it.

Exercised to Discern

Discernment is not automatic. It is a muscle that grows stronger the more it is used:

"But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil." (Hebrews 5:14)

The more you practice trusting what your spirit is telling you, and confirming it in prayer and in Scripture, the sharper that discernment becomes.

Ask God to Confirm What's Hidden

Here is my advice on this matter: simply ask God to clarify and confirm to your human spirit whatever is being hidden from you.

"Father, just as the morning sun exposes the darkness of night, let the elements of darkness set against me be likewise revealed, in the name of Jesus Christ."

Sleep Waves of Witchcraft Are Real

Sleep waves of witchcraft are real. People under witchcraft attacks at work may experience difficulty
staying awake and a lack of motivation to perform their tasks. Evil sleep waves of witchcraft are evil spirits assigned to a person. Once this person arrives at work, they may feel unusually sleepy, even though they had a full night's rest and probably had a cup of coffee just before arriving. However, as long as the victim is in their work area, they will continue to battle hours of yawning and do everything they can to stay awake.

Signs of a Witchcraft Attack at Work

Secondly, the victim will mysteriously lose all desire and motivation to complete or even perform their job. Depending on the level of witchcraft attack projected against them, they can also experience frequent forgetfulness, an inability to focus or concentrate, and a mysterious loss of their train of thought in the middle of a conversation or even a presentation. Even more surprising, the more the victim tries to recall their ideas, the more impossible it becomes to remember what they want to say next.

Determining Where the Attack Is Rooted

So how can a person determine if the witchcraft attack is reserved just for their workstation or the entire workplace? If the victim experiences sleepiness only at their workstation but not in any other section of the workplace, then the witchcraft point of contact is invisible or visible at their workstation. Suppose the victim relocates to another section of the workplace and continues to experience sleepiness. In that case, it can be concluded that the entire property is cursed by witchcraft.

When Sleep Won't Come at Home

Now, here is where it becomes fascinating. While the victim has difficulty staying awake at the workplace, amazingly, again depending on the level of witchcraft attack, they have problems going to sleep at their residence. Yet the victim is unaware of the spirit of insomnia projected into their life. So the victim will experience tiredness and every other sign that they want to sleep but, for some strange reason, cannot. The purpose of such witchcraft attacks is to frustrate and fatigue the victim.

Dreams That Confirm Spiritual Attack

To further confirm that the victim is being attacked spiritually by witchcraft, the victim will be overwhelmed by dreams where they are chased, fighting, swimming, or flying. Again, depending on the level of the attack, the victim would have repeated dreams where they are either being fed, eating, or being chased by dogs or strange animals. Nightly nightmares would be expected at this point in the victim's life.

Physical Objects and Physical Symptoms

It is essential to be aware that seemingly innocent objects, such as necklaces, souvenirs, plants, and unusual scents, can negatively affect the workplace. Malicious individuals may use these items to harm specific coworkers, leading to physical symptoms like frequent accidents, strange sickness, headaches, and confusion that can impact job performance.

When the Attack Escalates

The victim's condition will escalate to strange pains in their body and discoloration of their skin, especially their face. The victim will begin to age rapidly and slowly lose mobility, needing assistance such as a walker or cane. Despite many visits to the doctor, the doctor will be baffled because the person's apparent debilitating condition does not match the medical test results.

What to Do If You Recognize These Signs

If you are experiencing unusual sleepiness on the job, especially when there is nothing to warrant it, then more than likely there is witchcraft in your workplace. If you are not a Christian, or you do not have someone standing in the gap for you in prayer, then more than likely the one sending the attacks will succeed against you.

Secondly, if you are a Christian experiencing all the signs mentioned above, then it is clear that you have unconfessed sin in your life. According to the rules of spiritual warfare, a curse cannot descend upon you unless there is a reason:

"As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come." (Proverbs 26:2)

To be clear, unconfessed sin in your life could be the reason these attacks succeed. Unconfessed sin is not limited to the victim, but also their ancestors. As a result of an ancestor's unconfessed sins, iniquities, and transgressions, spiritual doors have opened, providing legal and spiritual grounds for attacks on future generations. Of course, direct sin would be an active sin in the believer's life that has not been addressed through confession and repentance.

"Let no one be found among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire, practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, casts spells, or is a medium or spiritist or consults the dead." (Deuteronomy 18:10-11)

The Churches Of Grand Bahama are under Severe Spiritual Attack

This is a clarion call to pastors. The enemy's assignment against a ministry rarely begins with a frontal
attack on the pulpit. More often, it targets what's closest to the shepherd: his marriage, his wife, and his children. A shepherd under pressure at home will eventually lead a congregation under pressure, and the enemy knows this better than most pastors do.

The Enemy Targets What's Closest to You

Many pastors' households carry a weight that looks different from ordinary family strain: unexplained heaviness, sickness that resists a clear diagnosis, seasons of confusion or emotional turmoil, and tension in the marriage that seems to intensify as the ministry grows. None of this proves any single person or cause. But it should move every pastor to bring his household before God in prayer rather than dismiss what he and his wife are sensing.

Scripture never says ministry exempts a family from spiritual warfare. If anything, it tells us the opposite: the shepherd and his household are often the first target, because striking the shepherd scatters the sheep.

Guard Against Ignorance

The greatest advantage the enemy has in any Church is a congregation and a leadership that has not been taught to recognize spiritual warfare for what it is:

"My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge." (Hosea 4:6)

A pastor who avoids the subject of spiritual warfare, whether from discomfort, fear of controversy, or simple neglect, leaves his household and his congregation without the tools to recognize an attack when it comes. Teaching your people to test what they hear and discern what they feel is not optional. It is part of shepherding well.

Do Not Let Deception Creep In

Paul warned an entire Church about exactly this danger:

"O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?" (Galatians 3:1)

The word bewitched in this text suggests being placed under a spell or led astray from the truth. Paul's charge to the Galatians is a charge to every Church: test everything, including prophetic words, against Scripture.

"Despise not prophesyings. Prove all things; hold fast that which is good." (1 Thessalonians 5:20-21)

A word that produces fear, discouragement, or a sense of inevitable doom, rather than conviction that leads to repentance and hope, deserves careful testing before it is received as coming from God.

Vengeance Belongs to God

Where a pastor senses that harm has genuinely been done to his family, Scripture is clear about where the response belongs:

"Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord." (Romans 12:19)

This is not a call to ignore what is wrong. It is a call to bring it to the only One qualified to judge it rightly, rather than turning suspicion into accusation without evidence, or turning hurt into a hunt for someone to blame.

The Solution: Repentance and Discernment

The solution begins with pastors examining their own hearts: repenting anywhere a personal agenda has been placed above God's plan, and anywhere leaders have been elevated for loyalty rather than character. Ask God to amplify your spirit of discernment, rather than leaning on feelings or first impressions alone. Ask Him for wisdom in who you place close to your family and your pulpit.

Gather genuine men and women of faith around you, and commit to a season of prayer and fasting for your household and your ministry: for protection, for clarity, for the removal of confusion, sickness, and division, and for God's covering over your family. Trust Him as the one who sees what you cannot, and who alone repays rightly.
