Deuteronomy 18
1 The priests the Levites, and all the tribe of Levi, shall have no part nor inheritance with Israel: they shall eat the offerings of the Lord made by fire, and his inheritance.
2 Therefore shall they have no inheritance among their brethren: the Lord is their inheritance, as he hath said unto them.
3 And this shall be the priest’s due from the people, from them that offer a sacrifice, whether it be ox or sheep; and they shall give unto the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the maw.
4 The firstfruit also of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the first of the fleece of thy sheep, shalt thou give him.
5 For the Lord thy God hath chosen him out of all thy tribes, to stand to minister in the name of the Lord, him and his sons for ever.
6 And if a Levite come from any of thy gates out of all Israel, where he sojourned, and come with all the desire of his mind unto the place which the Lord shall choose;
7 Then he shall minister in the name of the Lord his God, as all his brethren the Levites do, which stand there before the Lord.
8 They shall have like portions to eat, beside that which cometh of the sale of his patrimony.
9 When thou art come into the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.
10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch.
11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord: and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee.
13 Thou shalt be perfect with the Lord thy God.
14 For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the Lord thy God hath not suffered thee so to do.
15 The Lord thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;
16 According to all that thou desiredst of the Lord thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of the Lord my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not.
17 And the Lord said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken.
18 I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.
19 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.
20 But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.
21 And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the Lord hath not spoken?
22 When a prophet speaketh in the name of the Lord, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.

– its never easy but its worth the fight in our body it’s worth helping our friends and family it’s worth reaching out for those whom are lost and seeking him and worth spreading the goodness of what he’s done and can do (after all he deserves it)
Thank you Jesus for what your about to do and what your doing in our life’s ❤

Verse 13 MSG “Be completely loyal to God, your God.” Same verse AMP “You shall be blameless (complete, perfect) before the Lord your God.” Same verse CEV “Never be guilty of doing any of these disgusting things!” We must listen to the voice that God has placed in our lives to guide us and keep us on the right path. Verses 17-19 CEV say “Then the Lord told me: Moses, they have said the right thing. So when I want to speak to them, I will choose one of them to be a prophet like you. I will give my message to that prophet, who will tell the people exactly what I have said. Since the message comes from me, anyone who doesn’t obey the message will have to answer to me.” One must be careful to distinguish the right voice.

9“When you enter the land the lord your God is giving you, be very careful not to imitate the detestable customs of the nations living there.
Every since my children started kindergarten, they know that Santa is fake and the tooth fairy is a fraud. They sometimes ask me, why do parents lie to their children and I just remind them of the pagan environment. We can live here, but lets be careful not to adopt the lies
9. When you enter the land the LORD your God is giving you, be very careful not to imitate the detestable customs of the nations living there. NLT
2 Corinthians 6:
17. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
18. And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. KJV
What does a Father do? Loves, provides for, and protects his children. If we don’t partake of the customs of the world around us, but obey God’s Word, He will be our Father…and provide far more than this world has to offer.
9 When thou art come into the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.
We live in the same city but as we move to our new location we must keep him out mind that regardless of what it may bring; we serve a faithful God.
We serve the same God that opened a blinded eyes, healed a babies heart, and the many more miracles we have experience throughout the years. We serve the same God that has allowed us to be a part of touching thousands of lives through the years and see many of them baptized and receive the Holy Ghost. We’ve seen many prodigals turn their hearts and face back towards God!
We do not have to to get tangled into the lie of the enemy for we serve the King of kings and Lord or lords; Jesus is His name!
Fear and intimidation has to go in the name of Jesus! For He has gone before us and we shall see even greater in the years to come!
It is all for His Glory!
9 When thou art come into the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.
10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch.
11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord: and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee.
13 Thou shalt be perfect with the Lord thy God.
Becareful what you allow in your house. The world makes some of these things look very enticing but magic is still witchcraft, magic 8 ball is still divination, there are spirits tied to everything. Be careful what you allow in your house.
Do not be deceived!!!
“But you may wonder, ‘How will we know whether or not a prophecy is from the LORD?’ If the prophet speaks in the LORD’s name but his prediction does not happen or come true, you will know that the LORD did not give that message. That prophet has spoken without my authority and need not be feared. (Deuteronomy 18:21-22 NLT)
As you know many false prophets have risen, we need to make sure that our ears are in tune to the voice of God and only his voice alone! It’s important to get into the word of God dailyand , prayer, praise, and worship. We cannot afford to be playing games with the things of this world. The time is now that the church rises up, and become who the Lord has intended for us to be.
Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them; (Deuteronomy 11:16 KJV)
Inheritance
1 The priests the Levites, and all the tribe of Levi, shall have no part nor inheritance with Israel: they shall eat the offerings of the Lord made by fire, and his inheritance.
We were not meant to strive for things of this world. Everything natural that we see here will pass away. God didnt give us an inheritance of something that would eventually be gone. He gave us inheritance of his kingdom which last forever.
Matthew 7:11
If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
“But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.”
Deuteronomy 18:20 KJV
It is wise to not speak things that only feel good to us. I do believe that God can and will use certain people to prophesy. But do not try to be a prophet and get credited for it. False prophecy will get you killed it is wicked
14 For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the Lord thy God hath not suffered thee so to do.
The nations were supposed to”know” how to keep their land since they consulted diviners……. HA!!! MY GOD IS GREATER THAN ALL the diviners put together!!!
HALELUJAH!!! We serve a MIGHTY GOD!!!
Proverbs 30:8-9 Give me enough food to live on, neither too much nor too little. If I’m too full, I might get independent, saying, ‘God? Who needs him?’ If I’m poor, I might steal and dishonor the name of my God.”
Our “store house” should not be our pantry or bank. There is a reason some of us will never be rich; we would change the focus of our trust from God to our wealth. I have been there. I did not see at the time. The majority of my life my wife and I lived below the poverty level. The Lord continued to bless us and at one point I was earning $90 per hour with little to no overhead. Again, I did not see it coming but within a year the faith I had in the Lord to supply my every need diminished as my bank account grew. The more I gained the less I needed God. It is and was a false security.
It all vanished. At the time, it was the end of the world. Now, I am thankful the Lord brought me through those times for a deeper understanding and faith in Him. He supplies all my needs. Everything I have and everything I am is because of Jesus and His love for me.
2 Therefore shall they have no inheritance among their brethren: the Lord is their inheritance, as he hath said unto them.
Which means they have the BEST!

“When you enter the land that GOD, your God, is giving you, don’t take on the abominable ways of life of the nations there. Don’t you dare sacrifice your son or daughter in the fire. Don’t practice divination, sorcery, fortunetelling, witchery, casting spells, holding séances, or channeling with the dead. People who do these things are an abomination to GOD. It’s because of just such abominable practices that GOD, your God, is driving these nations out before you.”
Deuteronomy 18:9-12 MSG
My prayer is that God would reveal the abominable ways of life of this nation at this present time. My desires to know the practices that displease my God. Even at the cost of my world turning upside down. If not celebrating “traditional” holidays displeases Him then I’ll stop. I cannot be destroyed by a lack of knowledge. There’s things that we have put into practice because we grew up that way and our parents grew up practicing that but, why and how did it all start? We might find out that God may not be pleased with our “family tradition”. I am on a journey to seek and find what pleases my Lord. I’m hungry and desperate to be apostolic in every way of my life. I don’t want to live like the current Penecostal generation. I want to be Apostolic in my thinking, my speech, my actions and in my giving. I want to be apart of a Book of Acts Church.
1. Apostolic Experience
2. Doctrine
3. Fellowship, Unity and Giving – work together. Right relationship with peers / sacrificial giving – everything we have is God’s.
4. Prayer and Praise. Right relationship with Jesus
5. Miracles signs and wonders.
6. Growth – added to the church daily
“And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles. And all that believed were together, and had all things common; And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.”
Acts 2:42-47 KJV
THANK YOU
1-2 The Levitical priests—that’s the entire tribe of Levi—don’t get any land-inheritance with the rest of Israel. They get the Fire-Gift-Offerings of God—they will live on that inheritance. But they don’t get land-inheritance like the rest of their kinsmen. God is their inheritance.
3-5 This is what the priests get from the people from any offering of an ox or a sheep: the shoulder, the two cheeks, and the stomach. You must also give them the firstfruits of your grain, wine, and oil and the first fleece of your sheep, because God, your God, has chosen only them and their children out of all your tribes to be present and serve always in the name of God, your God.
As a priestly family that lives on the giving, generosity, sacrifices and kindness of the people of GOD who faithfully bring their tithe and offerings to the LORD. We say THANK YOU. Because The POFW gives, we are provided for in food, shelter, clothes, transportation and other necessities and benefits in life. We are also able to assist and feed other ministers as the result of the faithful support of The POFW.
We sincerely THANK YOU for the honor and privilege to serve you and speak to you on behalf of the LORD our GOD, JESUS.
We BLESS you in the name of the LORD!

13 Thou shalt be perfect with the Lord thy God.
The Message version reads “Be completely loyal to God, Your God”
We must truly grasp the concept that God, is OUR God. He loves you. He desires to have a relationship with each and every one of us, and each unique to our own needs. When we have that understanding it will come natural to be loyal to our God.
9 “When you enter the land the Lord your God is giving you, be very careful not to imitate the detestable customs of the nations living there. (NLT)
The “title” before this verse is “A Call to Holy Living.” God is calling us to deeper anointing and relationship with Him. As we move physically, He is calling us to move spiritually and follow Him. Notice though it’s not just holy “acts” but HOLY LIVING. It must become a willing choice we make to change our lives and make holiness and prayer and outreach and everything we do for God. It must be a way of life that we willingly choose to serve in, with joy and a right attitude. There’s already a shift in the spirit where God is calling us and it’s a beautiful sight, but God still has greater in store!
“Greater things have yet to come and greater things are still to be done in this city!”
The firstfruit also of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the first of the fleece of thy sheep, shalt thou give him.
The Lord wants the first of all we obtain. Our tithe is the first 10% of our increase.
By contrast, Yahweh would raise up a line of prophets. The will of God was to be discovered through a prophet and not through a diviner, a magic-worker, or a spiritist. He was to be from the midst of thee, of the brethren and like unto me. Verses 16 through 18 indicate he was to be a mediator between God and man, like Moses. He was to be like Jesus in that He was faithful, full of compassion and love, a powerful intercessor for his people, speaking with God face to face and reflecting the divine Glory. Like Christ, he was to be a mighty prophet in word and deed, a revealer of God’s will and purpose a mediator of the covenant, and the leader of the people.
Numbers 27:17 Which may go out before them, and which may go in before them, and which may lead them out, and which may bring them in; that the congregation of the Lord be not as sheep which have no shepherd.
Hebrews 3:2 Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.
Thank God for using our Pastor to lead us!
He is faithful, full of compassion and love, a powerful intercessor for his people, speaks with God face-to-face and reflecting the divine glory.
a revealer of God’s will and purpose, a mediator of the covenant, and a leader of the people.
Sounds like Pastor Watts : )
Don’t need anything else
1 The priests the Levites, and all the tribe of Levi, shall have no part nor inheritance with Israel: they shall eat the offerings of the Lord made by fire, and his inheritance.
2 Therefore shall they have no inheritance among their brethren: the Lord is their inheritance, as he hath said unto them.
The LORD is our inheritance!!!! Thank you Jesus!!!!! You ar all I need!!!!!
9 When thou art come into the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.
God did not want his people to follow after the Abominations of the Egyptians. He wanted them to be separated and holy unto the Lord. In the same sense today God wants his people to be separated from the world. He doesn’t want us to act like them he does not want us to participate in any of their ungodly actions. But he wants us to come out from among them and be separate and touch not the unclean thing. Being separated from the world has always been an expectation from God and it still is today.
20 “But any prophet who fakes it, who claims to speak in my name something I haven’t commanded him to say, or speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet must die.” 21 You may be wondering among yourselves, “How can we tell the difference, whether it was God who spoke or not?” Here’s how: 22 If what the prophet spoke in God’s name doesn’t happen, then obviously God wasn’t behind it; the prophet made it up. Forget about him. MSG
This verse reminds me of what Pastor says before you go and tell someone that “God said” you better make sure it is God you are listening to. If whoever tells you something that God said have them back it up with the bible, if they can’t get away from them cause they are fake.
Be careful who you are listening to and taking advice from it can harm you if you are getting the wrong advice.
The traits of a prophet.
18 I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.
19 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.
20 But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.
21 And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the Lord hath not spoken?
22 When a prophet speaketh in the name of the Lord, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.
As we read here. The attributes of a prophet are many. I am reminded of what my mom taught me when I was young. Speak only when spoken too. This is literally what a prophet should do. Speak only when God speaks to them. Not before and not after. We can learn to listen that much more.
Deuteronomy 18 9 When you enter the land the Lord your God is giving you do not learn to imitate the detestable ways of the nations there. Let no one be found among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire who practices divination or sorcery interprets omens engages in witchcraft or casts spells or who is a medium or a spiritualist who or who consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord because of these same detestable practices the Lord your God will drive out those nations before you. You must be blameless before the Lord your God.
14 For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the Lord thy God hath not suffered thee so to do.
15 The Lord thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;
We are meant to hear truth from true men and women of God, not juat the newest motivating speech that is trending
22 When a prophet speaketh in the name of the Lord, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.
We must be carful in who we let speak into our lives, not everyone is here to help us some only want to tear us down.
Deuteronomy 18:22 (KJV Strong’s)
22 When a prophet speaketh in the name of the Lord, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.
I’m reminded of Pastor’s instruction. We should be very careful when saying “thus sayeth the Lord.” If we prophesy falsely we are then a false prophet and lose our effectiveness and respect with the people. How can we minister to people if they do not trust what we are going to say.
We are God’s representatives and need to take that very seriously. Each word is powerful and carries a responsibility that only eternity can measure. This is the weight of one soul. God forgive our carelessly cause the eternal damnation of another.
God forbid*
Not forgive
Deut. 18:3-5
3) And this shall be the priest’s due from the people, from them that offer a sacrifice whether it be ox or sheep; and they shall give unto the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the maw.
4) The firstfruits also of the corn, of the wine, and of the oil, and the first of the fleece of thy sheep, shalt thou give him.
5) For the LORD thy God hath chosen him out of all the tribes, to stand to minister in the name of the LORD, him and his sons for ever.
Another good reason to pay your tithes and offerings. To support Pastor, whom the LORD has chosen out of all people, to place over us to minister to us.
9 When thou art come into the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.
10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch.
11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord: and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee.
v13 Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God.
As we grow toward perfection, adding godly characteristics day by day.
“For the LORD your God has chosen him out of all your tribes to stand to minister in the name of the LORD, him and his sons forever.”(Deuteronomy 18:5 NKJV)
For the Lord thy God hath chosen him out of all thy tribes,…. That is, has chosen the tribe of Levi out of all the other tribes of Israel,to stand to minister in the name of the Lord; the priests to minister to the Lord by offering sacrifices, and the Levites to minister to the priests in assisting them in their service; and both their ministry were in the name of the Lord, and for his glory! In Jesus Name !!!
We should trust and obey the Lord and look to him for our needs and instruction. Leaning on fleshly people or so called prophetic people can lead us into a lot of trouble. Stay close to God and he will direct us who to listen to and those who are true prophets.
The Isrealites are about to move into Canaan and Moses warms that the Canaanites are spiritual people. This reminds me of children who are warned way before they get into the store that they need to behave when they go inside and that the trip to the store is not for them to grab everything off the shelves or run off. He delineated the rituals the Canaanites use to worship their many gods. Notice the judgments and strong warnings Moses gives when referring to these practices. He knows that if they were to participate in these rites they will sever their relationship with God. We cannot let the things of this world influence and entice to leave the presence of an almighty God and Father leading us into his promises.
Wow oh wow!!!
Do we listen or not? That’s the question. I prefer the Holy Ghost to tell me something cause it helps alot if you know the Word.
People would tell you oh…you have to do this or that in the physical but they are mot living in the spirit. That’s a red-flag for me. Well thanks for letting me study he word w yall.
Bless you Lord.
NLT 20) but any prophets who falsely claims to speak in my name or who speak in the name of another god must die 21) but you many wonder how will we know whether or not a prophecy is from the LORD? 22 ) if the prophet speak in tye he LORD name but his prediction does not happen or come true YOU will know that the LORD did not give that message that prophet has spoken without my authority and need not be feared
♡♡♡♡♡☆☆ as I was reading these verses it Made me thought about something. It is very important for us not to give out mixed messages let explain what I mean by that so many people get deceive by the devil
– god told me to tell you this
God told me to tell you to do this or god want me to do this
only to figure out that was not god
Sadly a lot of us get deceived
Is so important when we believe god is telling us to do things that we talk it with our pastor and pray about it of course their are to many lost soul for us to be giving out mixed messages
Deuteronomy 18:1-4
The Levites were to serve as priests, ministers and teachers of the Law. Only the Levites in the line of Aaron were allowed to serve as priests. The rest of the Levites served in various assisting roles.
As a body of Christ in the church we all have a special role, it is important for us to find out where it is that God wants to use us. As we find it we must commit ourselves to do it with all of our heart.
But any prophet who falsely claims to speak in my name or who speaks in the name of another god must die.’
Deuteronomy 18:20 NLT
http://bible.com/116/deu.18.20.NLT
One more reason to pray and study His word daily. We need to know His Word so we are not easily convinced or distracted by false prophets or teachings. If we know His word then we can slways reference it when encounter these decievers.
4 The firstfruit also of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the first of the fleece of thy sheep, shalt thou give him.
“When a prophet speaketh in the name of the Lord, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.” The word of God (Jesus) identifies how they would know. A false prophet cannot be trusted any more than another that speaks falsely (liar). Dear God, expose and remove any/every false prophet and liar, in Jesus name. God Bless America, Israel, Jerusalem, and you all in Jesus name, Amen!
“For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord: and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee.” The Lord did not hesitate to have those that worshipped anything other than him removed. This is all the more reason why person should stay away from anyone that has a portion, part, or hand in such action. God open our eyes and ears so that we do not become caught up in abdominal actions, in Jesus name.
22 When a prophet speaketh in the name of the Lord, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.
We must be very careful of what we say “God said”, that we not be found as false prophets…
11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord: and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee.
13 Thou shalt be perfect with the Lord thy God.
Don’t mess with witchcraft because Thou shalt be perfect with the Lord thy God
5 For the Lord thy God hath chosen him out of all thy tribes, to stand to minister in the name of the Lord, him and his sons for ever.
You know God uses whoever he chooses. It doesn’t matter if you think they are not qualified to do what they do. All God need is an willing and obedient person that wants to be use. God can do the rest!
9 When thou art come into the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.
We are to contend for the faith and teach it to our younger generations that the doctrine of the gispel. We should not learn the worldly ways but rather teach the truth to the young ones.
10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch.
11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
This reminds me of the so called thing that some people do by listening or following any kind of horoscope. I’m 100% sure that this scripture is not used in its entirety to preach at a Catholic Church.
Listening to there fortunes following them blindly and going to the extent of doing everything to get what there supposed fortune needs to help them for filling. Never fall into the trap of what does my sign have for me, you can become an abomination.
We are not to follow the practices of the world. Idioms like “dog eat dog” and “another day another dollar” are mottos of the world and should not be the attitudes of the church. The attitude of the church is “that I might know Him.” May we fall in love with Jesus and know Him and Him us.
False prophets are not welcome. Be careful when you feel that you have a “word from the Lord” for someone, you are placing yourself on thin ice if you state something that isn’t true.
13 Thou shalt be perfect with the Lord thy God.
This is something that many people don’t understand when they ask me why u don’t cut your hair, why skirts, why this why that???? In reality I don’t have to do anything but because I love Him with all my heart soul and mind I’m leaving everything behind and following Jesus!!!!! I’m following Jesus so I can be fishers of men. Being in a new stage of my life with Jesus I know there is not room for playing church. You sate either hot or cold…… Swimming on the shore, so He can be in control because I’m just His vessel. I can’t do nothing without you Lord!!! 😃
God reigns in my life everyday !!!!
5 For the Lord thy God hath chosen him out of all thy tribes, to stand to minister in the name of the Lord, him and his sons for ever.
18 I will raise up a prophet like you from among their fellow Israelites. I will put my words in his mouth, and he will tell the people everything I command him.
We the POFW, should be very thankful that God has placed a prophet for our church, Bro Guy. With God’s guidance and Pastor’s obediance, we have a great man of God who continues to see what our future holds for POFW!
22 When a prophet speaketh in the name of the Lord, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.
A true prophet of God does not prophecy amiss!
