America - We Can Do More



This video was made as a request for America to start caring. We no longer pray and see no future in it and God says NO! The prayers of the righteous avail much.

There is a crisis in America with homeless families. The food pantries are overburdened. We all have a responsibility as a christian to help others in need. If we dont then we love ourselves more and not Jesus. You can't serve both.

We must lay down our lives as christian's and do what God puts in front of us. That goes for the churches too. It is amazing how we say we love God and won't pray or worship him. God has not changed. He is the same and will heal our land if we will lift up our eyes to the hills.

Watch the video and allow the Lord to minister to your heart.

Spiritual Abuse

Spiritual abuse occurs when a person in religious authority or a person with a unique spiritual practice misleads and maltreats another person in the name of God or church or in the mystery of any spiritual concept. Spiritual abuse often refers to an abuser using spiritual or religious rank in taking advantage of the victim's spirituality (mentality and passion on spiritual matters) by putting the victim in a state of unquestioning obedience to an abusive authority.

Spiritual abuse is the maltreatment of a person in the name of God, faith, religion, or church, whether habitual or not, and includes any of the following:

• Psychological and emotional abuse
• Any act by deeds or words that demean, humiliate or shame the natural worth and dignity of a person as a human being
• Submission to spiritual authority without any right to disagree; intimidation
• Unreasonable control of a person's basic right to make a choice on spiritual matters
• False accusation and repeated criticism by negatively labeling a person as disobedient, rebellious, lacking faith, demonized, apostate, enemy of the church or God
• Prevention from practicing faith
• Isolation or separation from family and friends due to religious affiliation
• Physical abuse that includes physical injury, deprivation of sustenance, and sexual abuse
• Exclusivity; dismissal of an outsider's criticism and labeling an outsider as of the devil
• Withholding information and giving of information only to a selected few
• Conformity to a dangerous or unnatural religious view and practice
• Hostility that includes shunning, (relational aggression, parental alienation) and persecution

Characteristics

Researchers conceptualize a set of discernible characteristics of spiritual abuse.
Ronald Enroth in Churches That Abuse identifies five categories:

1. Authority and Power - abusive groups misuse and distort the concept of spiritual authority. Abuse arises when leaders of a group arrogate to themselves power and authority that lacks the dynamics of open accountability and the capacity to question or challenge decisions made by leaders. The shift entails moving from general respect for an office bearer to one where members loyally submit without any right to dissent.

2. Manipulation and Control - abusive groups are characterized by social dynamics where fear, guilt, and threats are routinely used to produce unquestioning obedience, group conformity, and stringent tests of loyalty to the leaders are demonstrated before the group. Biblical concepts of the leader-disciple relationship tend to develop into a hierarchy where the leader's decisions control and usurp the disciple's right or capacity to make choices on spiritual matters or even in daily routines of what form of employment, form of diet and clothing are permitted.

3. Elitism and Persecution - abusive groups depict themselves as unique and have a strong organizational tendency to be separate from other bodies and institutions. The social dynamism of the group involves being independent or separate, with diminishing possibilities for internal correction and reflection. Outside criticism and evaluation is dismissed as the disruptive efforts of evil people seeking to hinder or thwart.

4. Life-style and Experience - abusive groups foster rigidity in behavior and in belief that requires unswerving conformity to the group's ideals and social mores.

5. Dissent and Discipline - abusive groups tend to suppress any kind of internal challenges and dissent concerning decisions made by leaders. Acts of discipline may involve emotional and physical humiliation, physical violence or deprivation, acute and intense acts of punishment for dissent and disobedience.
Agnes and John Lawless argue in The Drift into Deception that there are eight characteristics of spiritual abuse, and some of these clearly overlap with Enroth's criteria. They list the eight marks of spiritual abuse as comprising:

1. charisma and pride,
2. anger and intimidation,
3. greed and fraud,
4. immorality,
5. Enslaving authoritarian structure,
6. Exclusivity,
7. Demanding loyalty and honor,
8. New revelation.

Although some of these points form aspects of a strong and healthy society (e.g. respect for proper authority, loyalty and honor), the basis of spiritual abuse is when these characteristics are overstretched to achieve a desired goal that is neither supported by spiritual reality nor by the human conscience.

A Form Of Godliness

2Ti 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

Read it in its full context 2Ti 3: 1-9

A form of godliness is very different from the power that resides in true believer; from such as are found to be hypocrites, Real Christians must withdraw or be deceived also. Such persons have been found within every church, in every place, and at all times. They are creative men, who, by pretending and flattery, sneak into the favor and confidence of those who are gullible, ignorant, and fanciful. We must be forever learning to know the Lord; but these follow every new fad or doctrine, yet never seek the truth as it is in Jesus.These were men of corrupt minds, prejudiced against the truth, and without faith. The spirit of error was loose for a time, God has said NO MORE. Satan no longer can deceive the nations and the churches. His soldiers of truth have arrived and are positioned to do battle and to execute judgment on the churches who have these heretics in there mist wandering too and fro seeking who they can devour.

To the Church Let God arise and your enemies will scatter let God arise and your enemies will fail. Raise your banner and say as for me an my church we will serve the Lord with righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. Thus saith the Lord No longer will I tolerate church as usual I will shut you down and cut you off from the face of the earth. Baal you are on notice that you will no longer corrupt my sheep with lack of money, position or power. You will no longer speak to their lack. If they follow my statues I will deliver them and pour out my blessings and this is how you will know my true churches they will be blessed. Thus saith the Lord.

1Ti 6:11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

KJV, Excerpts from MHCC,
Prophecy from Apostle Diane Robinson

Church of The Ladoceans

Rev 3:14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
Rev 3:15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
Rev 3:16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
Rev 3:17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
Rev 3:18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
Rev 3:19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
Rev 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
Rev 3:21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
Rev 3:22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

Laodicea was the last and worst of the seven churches of Asia. Here our Lord Jesus styles himself, “The Amen;” one steady and unchangeable in all his purposes and promises. If religion is worth anything, it is worth every thing. Christ expects men should be in earnest. How many professors of gospel doctrine are neither hot nor cold; except as they are indifferent in needful matters, and hot and fiery in disputes about things of lesser moment! A severe punishment is threatened. They would give a false opinion of Christianity, as if it were an unholy religion; while others would conclude it could afford no real satisfaction, otherwise its professors would not have been heartless in it, or so ready to seek pleasure or happiness from the world.

One cause of this indifference and inconsistency in religion is, self-conceit and self-delusion; “Because thou sayest.” What a difference between their thoughts of themselves, and the thoughts Christ had of them! How careful should we be not to cheat our owns souls! There are many in hell, who once thought themselves far in the way to heaven. Let us beg of God that we may not be left to flatter and deceive ourselves. Professors grow proud, as they become carnal and formal. Their state was wretched in itself. They were poor; really poor, when they said and thought they were rich. They could not see their state, nor their way, nor their danger, yet they thought they saw it. They had not the garment of justification, nor sanctification: they were exposed to sin and shame; their rags that would defile them. They were naked, without house or harbour, for they were without God, in whom alone the soul of man can find rest and safety.

Good counsel was given by Christ to this sinful people. Happy those who take his counsel, for all others must perish in their sins. Christ lets them know where they might have true riches, and how they might have them. Some things must be parted with, but nothing valuable; and it is only to make room for receiving true riches. Part with sin and self-confidence, that you may be filled with his hidden treasure. They must receive from Christ the white raiment he purchased and provided for them; his own imputed righteousness for justification, and the garments of holiness and sanctification.

Let them give themselves up to his word and Spirit, and their eyes shall be opened to see their way and their end. Let us examine ourselves by the rule of his word, and pray earnestly for the teaching of his Holy Spirit, to take away our pride, prejudices, and worldly lusts. Sinners ought to take the rebukes of God's word and rod, as tokens of his love to their souls. Christ stood without; knocking, by the dealings of his providence, the warnings and teaching of his word, and the influences of his Spirit. Christ still graciously, by his word and Spirit, comes to the door of the hearts of sinners. Those who open to him shall enjoy his presence. If what he finds would make but a poor feast, what he brings will supply a rich one. He will give fresh supplies of graces and comforts. In the conclusion is a promise to the overcoming believer. Christ himself had temptations and conflicts; he overcame them all, and was more than a conqueror. Those made like to Christ in his trials, shall be made like to him in glory. All is closed with the general demand of attention. And these counsels, while suited to the churches to which they were addressed, are deeply interesting to all men.

Apostle DIane Robinson

Endure As A Good Soldier In Christ

2Ti 2:1 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
2Ti 2:2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
2Ti 2:3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
2Ti 2:4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
2Ti 2:5 And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.
2Ti 2:6 The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.
2Ti 2:7 Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.
2Ti 2:8 Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel:
2Ti 2:9 Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.
2Ti 2:10 Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
2Ti 2:11 It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:
2Ti 2:12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:
2Ti 2:13 If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.

Soldier in the kingdom of God - In the army of god, the Lord Jesus is my commanding officer, the holy bible is my code of conduct, prayer and the whole armor of God are weapons of warfare, I have been taught by the holy spirit, Trained by experience, Tried by adversity, and tested by fire.

God wants you to know that he is not a liar. He has made promises to each and every one of you. They are exclusive to you. Words he has written on your heart. In order for me to give you the promises it is going to cost you. Some of you want things returned to you that I cannot do yet. Your heart is not right. I would not give you a heart transplant in a body riddled with cancer. The enemy wants you to believe I have for gotten you. Suffering is part of the Kingdom. It isn't only for certain people. All have had their share and must to take part in my Kingdom. Your eternal glory should be first and foremost on your mind. I desire each of you to have an abundant life. There are seasons for all things. There is a time to sow a time to reap a time to plant and etc. You are creating a hell in your mind. Read my words beloved so you can cleanse your mind. If your mind is a battlefield you must read what my promises are for you in my word.

Being a good soldier means enduring hardness. Life is difficult but it is imperative that you see it as gain for the kingdom. God says yield. You are distressed about what you lost but count it all for joy because I want to give you something new. Why do you want to carry the burdens from 10 years ago? My love and mercies are refreshed each morning like the dew of the grass. The dew on the grass is from the coolness of the evening and the sun warming the blades of grass. I am strengthening you in this season. You need to know my plans and purpose for your life. If you don't know who you are in Christ the enemy can tell you things that are not true. Constantly refresh, seek me in those hard places. God gives you understanding at all times but you have to seek me to find me. I need you to drink of me and be refreshed. I have come to give you life with purpose but you have to let go of all the things inside you so I can fill you anew.

->End

Grace and peace to you all and may God be lifted up in your life. I praise God for each and everyone who is fulfilling the purposes of the Kingdom. Glory be to God!

RECOGNIZING MANIPULATION AND INTIMIDATION FOR THE PURPOSE OF DOMINATION (CONTROL)

RECOGNIZING MANIPULATION AND INTIMIDATION FOR THE PURPOSE OF DOMINATION (CONTROL)
Control by false authority, manipulation, intimidation

Manipulation–definition–Skillful and efficient deceit using artful, unfair or unobtrusive devices and contrivances in a secret manner in order to control others.

Intimidation–definition–The use of fear or coercion to force submission to another’s will.

Domination–definition–To influence the actions and conduct of another to be first in power, influence or rank.

Practitioners attempt to project an attractive and irresistible image of superior natural and/or supernatural skills, abilities and accomplishments. The attempted techniques, methods and procedures employed are easily recognized:
(1) Projection of guilt upon others by:
(a) Correction
(b) Criticism
(c) Fault finding
(d) Disapproval
(e) Condemnation
(f) Confrontation
(g) Ignoring an individuals existence
(h) Circulating malicious opinions
(i) Non-acceptance into their clique
(j) Blame

(2) Statements in the form of questions or analogies designed to put others on the defensive.

(3) Not initiating closure when problems surface in a personal relationship, regardless of who is responsible for the problem. They will always depend on the unresolved tension to cause the other party to contact them first to resolve the issue.

(4) Establishing uncertainty of the past, present or future to build insecurity in a person and dependence upon the practitioner’s abilities and information by:

(a) Altering true information
(b) Withholding true information
(c) Issuing false information
(d) Using big names as information sources

(5) Illegally assuming authority without responsibility, by:

(a) Outright claims that they have the official sanction of those in charge
(b) Implied claims they have the official sanction of those in charge
(c) Manipulating, maneuvering and motivating others to think, feel and choose the way the practitioner wants them to
(d) “Spiritual” revelations
(e) Physical authority—violence, temper tantrums, force, sex, drugs, etc.
(f) Rebelling against established authority

(6) Illegally attempting to assume responsibility without authority.

(7) Declarations of dependency: “You don’t understand how much I need you (depend, trust, etc).” This may be followed by “and how little you care what happens to me.”

(8) Declarations of reverse dependency: “You don’t understand how much you need me (depend, trust, etc).” This may be followed by “and how much I care what happens to you.”

(9) The “Let me show you how to do it” ploy. This makes others realize they do not have the time, talent or temperament to accomplish something, thereby shaming them into letting the practitioner volunteer to do the job.

(10) The “Show me how to do it” ploy. This makes others realize the practitioner does not have the time, talent or temperament to accomplish something, thereby shaming them into volunteering to do the job.

(11) The “I tried to cover for your mistake” routine, “and it:”

(a) Worked, so you’ve got to repay the favor by doing something for me.
(b) Didn’t work, so you’ve got to do something to fix the problem.

(12) The “I tried to teach you, but you won’t listen to me, so don’t ask me any more questions” ploy. This ploy is to punish others by instilling a deep sense of loss created by withdrawal of the practitioners (opinionated) “wise counsel.”

(13) Insults directed at others to further distance the practitioner, who by now knows they have failed in their efforts to dominate.

(14) Polarizing groups of people into adverse parties. This is further punishment for failure to recognize the superiority of the practitioner and an attempt to establish control by comparing persons to create competition.

(15) Withdrawal, when suggestions, comments or questions come up about their pronouncements, with simulated:

(a) Hurt
(b) Rejection
(c) Depression
(d) Physical sickness
(e) Protests of innocence
(f) Accusations of others

(16) False remorse, with hypocritical statements of now perceiving how their past activities have hurt others and a seeking of forgiveness for past behavior.

(17) Self-proclaimed martyrdom, usually follows withdrawal or false remorse when the practitioner realizes others are not fooled by their insincerity.
Withdrawal or self-proclaimed martyrdom is tacit admission of failure to successfully dominate others.

(18) Instigation of difficult, uncomfortable or costly activities for others, which may or may not benefit the practitioner.
This is their last desperate effort to control others after having been exposed as two-faced hypocrites, gossips and liars. They will eventually resort to their old, more satisfying, tactics in an attempt to force others to depend upon them. This dominating technique, however, may be used at any time by them to control situations, circumstances and social environments.

(19) You may also notice one or more of the following communication techniques.

They will:
(1) State the obvious
(2) Make a mountain out of a molehill
(3) Play “can you top this”
(4) Promise beyond their delivery capability
(5) Stampede into action before all the facts are in
(6) Edit the facts to dramatize their point
(7) Keep in constant motion, unconcerned about direction
(8) State the opposite of the facts, because all else failed.

Under no circumstances respond directly to their overtures. Do not address the issues they raise. You must respond by stating that they have no responsibility or authority to make such a statement to you, and that they are out of order.
If your relationship with them has not been that close in the past, you may add that because of their present improper social behavior and breach of etiquette, your mutual relationship certainly won’t be close in the future.

The five Fold Ministry Must Operate in Today's Church

Eph 4:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;

Eph 4:12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

Eph 4:13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:

Eph 4:14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;

Eph 4:15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:

Eph 4:16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.

Eph 4:17 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,

Eph 4:18 Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:

I went to church in a well known church today on the east end of Long Island NY. Holding out hope church. We were greeted with love and treated great. They broadcast on WLIX radio. The praise and worship reminded me of the days with The Vineyard. Talented musicians and the two pastors husband and wife led worship Pastor Richard and Diane Anderson. He preached so beautifully. They both loved God and it was clear. We were asked to fill out a contact card and we hesitated because we are members of another church. My husband filled it out Pastor Eric Robinson and Apostle Diane Robinson. So as praise and worship finished he said we have clergy visiting us Pastor Eric Robinson and his wife Diane Robinson.

My heart sank. The church did not recognize the five fold ministry. They did have a layman team, intercessors. There were some speaking in tongues. There was no prophet or apostle. I felt sad because there is so much we could do together and because they do not recognize my office I cannot go back. It was funny too because he was talking about the prodigal and getting kissed by the father when you come back. He said sometimes you get kissed by a Judas. I thought it was ironic. I was blessed because I said if nothing else I attended their church to worship God and that is what I did.

They are having a huge revival coming up. They are spending $15,000 and have collected $10,000 so far. It is a blessed thriving church. A sadness came over me as I remembered the scripture when Jesus said many will come in my name and say Mat 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
See the lesson in this is we cannot be ignorant and follow some of the scriptures and not all. God is the word and all of it is GOD. Not just the New Testament. The five fold ministry is how the church is to operate. If your church is not it is because it is not accepting it as valid and is from false doctrine or there are none in the church because it is small.

We have to take the blinders off. Your pastor could be leading you straight to hell because of doctrine. My husband and I could have been a tremendous blessing to them and aided them in their revival week. We would have thoroughly enjoyed it. Our passion is the lost and every ministry that operates in the church. I am grateful to God that my husband and I read the word and do not get tickled on Sunday by good preaching. It is not the will of God for us to be deceived. We must know the word of God and operate in our gifts. Any church out there who does not operate in the five fold and recognize the offices in Ephesians 4:11 or picks and chooses scriptures to follow is making a grievous error.

The good news is the churches can repent and allow Gods anointed to operate and help the church. People do not go sick to a hospital and not expect to get healed. It is the same for a church. My job is not to down pastors or tear down churches who really do love the Lord but because they are blinded are missing God and the gifts he wants to bestow on people. Please pray for our churches so that God can build his churches the way he intended and have all the gifts operating together. In Jesus name I pray…AMEN

The Herod Spirit

The Herod spirit is violent. Herod tolerated the people worshipping the God of Israel when he did not…But he would have no other king other than him. Herod loved only one person in the whole world…himself. Jesus threatened everything that was Herod: his legacy, pride, comfort, and pleasures. Herod also didnt want to be... told he was wrong and cut off John the baptist's head.

History teaches three things about Herod. First, Herod was one of the richest men who ever lived. Second, he was violently paranoid. Third, he possessed a monumental ego.

The enemies of God withhold no tactic to assault his people and profane his word. In response, we need to be spiritually violent ourselves by making a bold stand for God, which ... See Morewill mean the world will forsake us. We may lose friends, promotions, or even recognition and respect. How striking that this pervasive spirit, we see today, was epitomized by King Herod.

Many set up their little kingdoms where everything is about I. God is the ruler of one kingdom. The kingdom of God! Herod was prideful and didn’t want to be told he was spiritually immoral for marrying his brother’s wife. The wife asked for John the Baptist head. Some of you are being assailed like John the Baptist. Some of you leaders are acting like Herod. God will cut you off and you won’t even know it. Herod was a manipulator and was a master at it. He was chosen by himself and manipulated his way into authority.

Imagine Herod’s response were someone to confront him about all the wrong he’s done, that he needed to give it all up and repent. This is the very enemy we fight today! People have their pleasures and their comforts. They’re terrified of what others will think and what they stand to lose to follow Jesus

Walking In Circles

No lofty words to say only that "The proof is in the pudding. Neh 10:28 And the rest of the people, the priests, the Levites, the porters, the singers, the Nethinims, and all they that had separated themselves from the people of the lands unto the law of God, their wives, their sons, and their daughters, every one having knowledge, and having understanding;

Conversion is separating from the course and custom of this world, devoting ourselves to the conduct directed by the word of God. When we bind ourselves to do the commandments of God, it is to do all his commandments, and to look to him as the Lord, and our Lord.

I just have such an urgency for the saints of God to stop stumbling and walking around in circles. A circle has no end once caught up in it regardless if you went around it 100 times or more the familiarity keeps you there. A circle could be friends, Sin it is whatever keeps us in confusion. The devil is a liar.

You are going in circles chasing something that was sent on an assignment to kill you. Psa 107:4 They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in. Psa 107:5 Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them. Psa 107:6 Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered the...m out of their distresses. STOP YOUR INSANITY. RAISE UP A STANDARD. SPEAK TO THAT THING AND SAY :

Psa 107:12 Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help.
Psa 107:13 Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.
Psa 107:14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder.
Psa 107:15 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

Today's Rhema Word "Mirror"

Mirror

A pattern; an exemplar; that on which men ought to fix their eyes; that which gives a true representation, or in which a true image may be seen.

What do you Mirror? What is your Mirror? Who is your Mirror? It is important to use the word because we are not God we are not capable of seeing ourselves the way he does (A true representation). Sometimes we magnify even the smallest flaws. Love is what we should all see when we look in the mirror. Look in your mirro...r. Take an assessment. What flaws are you focusing on? Give them to Jesus.
