Matthew 19:12 gives 3 classes of EUNUCHS. One class was born as such, another group was "made so by men" and for a third group there was a choice made by individuals who "made themselves" eunuchs.
Imagine this, a single man who had a girl he liked. Would he be able to get into someone's head telling them what they were dreaming then interpret the dream if he kept the girlfriend? Would he have projected the Spirit of peace instead of fear enough to calm a group of hungry lions with a wife who he was supposed to take care of?
Since we do not have a Biblical record of wives and children for Daniel, but do have a perfect record of him as representative and one who glorified God with his actions, we can see the trade off. God was his wife, mother , father , children, nephew, niece, grandson and grandaughter. Think about it. God as your all in all as he was for Daniel.
Did not Jesus himself chose to be a eunuch for the sake of doing the will of the Father in dying for the sin of humanity two of which ironically are fornication and adultery?
Let us consider the grace given us before we were saved and in some cases after we were saved in being faithful to our spouses no matter how much we outgrew them, and not choosing the route of adultery and or repenting from it prior to exposure. We chose not to adopt a para-religious cult, Mormonism or Islam tenet of being married to more than one wife and or concubines at a time. We as kings need to adopt the law of not having but one wife, avoiding charges of bigamy. This is obvious, but to take it a step further we can practice a tenet of worship in Spirit and truth (next part of chapter 19) of our time. In fact their is a ministry of celibacy that is seldom mentioned. Paul alludes to it when he mentions marry, burn or contain your vessel. He chose the 3d option. The third option is available to women also.
Be careful young men who you pick for your wife. Make sure your "picker" is working for the lady to have your children and who you will need to keep through years of possible obesity after child bearing. She must be "picked" with your ministry in mind. Will she be supportive? Will she be a stumblingblock? Those who are older should not put a spiritual monkey-wrench into the spiritual engine of your ministry by choosing some eye-candy for a night of fun. It will inevitably lead to an adulteration of your relationship with GOD and everything else that you stand for including drug addiction.
Thus as the chosen in grace , choosing to be as children, we are allowed to practice our Spiritual gift and have the power to practice it not grieving the Holy Spirit by choosing to be as eunuchs outside of marriage. As children who do not have sex at all hopefully, we are allowed to have spoken of us "for such is the kingdom of heaven" (vs. 14). You may not be able to preach as well as Rev. Manson B. Johnson, but your teaching will be with power without confusion with self and chaos.

Babe, adolescent or adult in Jesus Christ. It depends on your local church.
Are you a babe an adolescent or an adult in Jesus Christ as a member of your church?
The Book of James tells us that faith without works is dead (useless). Yet Paul tells us that it is by faith that we are saved and without faith we can not please God. Which great writer is correct? THEY BOTH ARE.
Paul by grace of God was allowed to articulate the maintenance activity necessary to "work out your salvation". He through the unction of the Holy Spirit tells of Spiritual Gifts and Fruit.. He gives us a MODEL of how it should go in identifying member parts neither of which are more important than the other. He in fact states that their should not be two tongues operating their gift at the same time and that tongues should not be heard unless there is an interpreter to give meaning to the tongue speaking in order for new members to not think the church is crazy. He goes on to tell us that the member (appendage ) of the member should not be utilized in sin. The word member is functional and important to Paul. He who began a good work in you shall be faithful to complete it until the day of Jesus Christ. The gifts of God are without repentance.
Did this mean that one needs to work with their members for salvation ? No. but like all 10 virgins slept, not all 10 had a desire or worked with their members to fill their lamps IN FAITH awaiting the return of the groom. Paul by grace of God was allowed to live long enough to be under house arrest and later actual imprisonment while he wrote about Spiritual gifts, and fruit ( the greatest of all is LOVE.We still do not know all until Jesus returns from the books lost like the actual II Corinthians. We are given a peek in how it should go for "members" of the local and universal church. The book of Revelations tells us that the minority of churches were doing the right thing to keep their lampstands. Yet some by being lukewarm were worthy of being spit out, or who were called to repentance due to losing their first love. This is obviously the unwise virgin. Is this you being pulled from your adolescence into the adulthood of pride, lust of the flesh or eye by the magnet of the world?
Those who are inactive and sometimes irascible looking for "their" seat on the pew, and who lack altruism even if they have been "in" the church for 50 years, could possibly be lacking something. Few of the model Christian leadership led protestant churches and none of the Catholic churches whose "services" we model have a ministry to develop the "member " to do service with their members within the local body. I came from a church spending 25 plus years not realizing this principle . We should be looking forward to doing this more intensely for the children women and men who are not as active and no under small group ministries AS WELL AS THE WEBSITE AND TRICASTER. Remember a mother and father;s first ministry is to the children in the home, Websites under the direction of your local Pastor have the great potential to allow this "Extra Church Curricula " to come to fruit, within the home INSTEAD OF TELEVISION.
The average person when he or she joins other especially large churches is given a number to be able to donate. Their service is in giving monetarily and not "bodily". In most churches there are opportunities as deacons and Sunday School teachers but very few opportunities to identify Spiritual gifts unless the person knew what it was along the lines of their vocation.or hobby. Most of the nonactive babes in Christ do not have a desire to give of themselves in Spirit and truth unless they prioritize their time with the goal in mind to save souls and edify the saints ALONG THE LINES OF ACTIVATING THEIR SPIRITUAL GIFT AND ACTUALIZING IT ALONG THE LINES OF A MINISTRY AS A MEMBER OF THE BODY. Even then Marilyn Hickey tells of of the offending older member who chases away spiritual gifts with their tongue .
So giving works within a ministry is not complicated. It is a process. Ultimately this is the anointed work or lack thereof respectively that James in Chapter 2 speaks of. SIMILAR TO BUILDING AN APARTMENT COMPLEX IT IS A PROCESS FORM THE BASEMENT UP. It should not be done out of anything but Spirit Truth and FAITH in Jesus' death, resurrection for our sins, and also His return. This is the point of salvation. He will save us from God's wrath . The ministry of development of gifts must be provided with the help of prayer and discernment as early as the time of joining. The good thing is that we are provided a model with BODY PARTS, and not a commandment by the Holy Spirit to follow in order to identify, and then assist the member to actualize it as adolescents then adults in Christ from babes.

Are you condemning or praying, giving then RESTING?
I know it is difficult to imagine. A God who as the IMAGE of the invisible God the firstborn (Col 1:15) by and THROUGH Him the things seen and unseen were created (We are talking photons and protons, mountains, valleys sweet potatoes for pies, grapes for wine as well as water as a molecule) In other words as the second component of the Trinity in the Son He created everything we see and do not see in in six days, yet we as a human race behold Him not (not looking) we do not recognize Him. (Homework time in Isaiah and John). WE do not rest in Him either as He did on the 7th day.
A Father God, who so loved the world that He Gave His Son who created the Heavens and the Earth, such that whoever believes (death and resurrection for our sin) in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.
Yet He did not come to condemn but through Him the world might be saved. Who have you condemned lately in contradiction to what God does, yet you carry His name? Who are you challenging to a stumble in saying things that you really do not mean. Things that do not represent reality? On the other hand who are you encouraging, and or even given the GOSPEL mentioned above. Why are you waiting on the Reverends Why?. HAVE YOU EVER PASSED OUT EVEN A Gospel TRACT? Are you recognizing Jesus in the poor, widow or stranger? We are not even talking about friends and children.
In this same spirit if you are going through something you just may be like Job who as God spoke to his "friends" while suffering in Chapter 42, after His wrath was kindled " You have NOT spoken of me what is right AS my servant Job has", now go do a sacrifice and watch how " My servant Job will pray for you"
Are you on the condemning side today or the praying and giving side of this equation? If you are going through something as we all do, are you praying for your family and giving to friends ( and those not like yourself) who you feel are kinding the wrath of God? Or are you going tit for tat with them in defending yourself?
TAKE TIME OUT AND ASK FOR THE MOTIVATION TO EVANGELIZE IN THESE LAST DAYS! PRAY GIVE AND ABOVE ALL REST IN FAITH AND PEACE.
Help in the work if you are asked by Him to (like Noah). Most of us do not have Noah's ministry, we are too caught up in the world.
Wait for your double for your trouble like job received.

BEEFING ,CHAOS, CONFUSION, WILLIE LYNCH, AND ANGER
James has been called the Proverbs of the New Testament. One of the verses that I love is in chapter 4. "we have not because we ask not, and when we ask we ask amiss" This says to me that when my "gimmes' to God are not lined up with his will for me there is going to be trouble. (vs. 1-3).and chaos.
The sin of adultery (physical or Spiritual) is blamed by James to be responsible for the ENTRY of this chaos and lack of peace. This is the antecedent, the precursor, the enzyme and the heat that brings on the chaos or lack of peace according to James (4-7). He gets more specific when he says friendship with the world is enmity with God. You can not serve the world and God at the same time
These verses are also replete with good information to practice. If I find myself beefing or angry with somebody, what is it that they have that I do not or vice versa.
The proceeding verses (chapter 1) give information about anger. We know that we are to sin not but where does it spring forth from in the first place? The very next verse after the advice tells us that we must "get rid of all the filth and evil in our lives, and humbly accept the WORD that God has planted in your heart(s), for it has the power to save your souls.
The very person that you are angry with or who you find yourself arguing with may have the key Spiritual Gift to bring the church to a new level especially with respect to Missionary Evangelism which is what we ALL are supposed to be about. John MacArthur said on 11-19 " I never saw, chaos, arguments and strife among BABY CHRISTIANS, THEY ARE TOO FOCUSED ON THE RIGHT THING"

PRAY FOR THOSE IN Blindness. Those who do not COMPARE SPIRITUAL THINGS, HATING ALL THE TIME!
Something caught my eye and ear over the last few days regarding sight and understanding or the lack thereof. What factors influence understanding and sight ?. I had a particular problem with a member of the band that I was playing with as he did not play the part given in rehearsal, and the leader of the band was looking at me to admonish him to play what was rehearsed. This was not the first time.He has been put out of the band before I got there and has been admonished several times by the Music director. I got an angry look and shout "DO NOT DO THAT AGAIN, I am looking at the singers". I took it to the brother later first telling him I love him in Jesus BUT. Then I took it to the group to try to admonish the brother.. For the first time the following scripture relative to rebellion and = witchcraft came to mind (I Samuel 15:23 ) as well as the following scriptures:
From I Corinthians 2:7,8,12-14
NONE of the princes of this world knew hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our Glory, for if they knew it , they would not have crucified the LORD of Glory..
We have received not the spirit of this world, but the Spirit which is of God, which things also we speak, not in the words that man's wisdom teach, , but by which the Holy Ghost speaks , COMPARING spiritual things with spiritual,
But the natural man receiveth NOT the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness unto him, neither can he know them because they are SPIRITUALLY DISCERNED.
I John 2: 11 tells us that a brother hating another is IN the darkness (Greek 4653) and IN the darkness WALKS (Greek 4043) not knowing (1492),where he is going . The darkness blinded (5186), the eyes (3788) of him..
II Corinthians 3: 12, 13,14
in plainness of speech we have hope, not as Moses
who put a veil over his face, the children of Israel could not steadfastly look, but their minds were BLINDED .
In these last days let us pray for those who hate us and would crucify and shoot us as messengers because of our representing truth in our admonitions in love. Let us pray for their hardened attitude and Blinding Viel be removed as they become more faithful to their relationship with Jesus Christ, or that they establish one in the first place coming out of being carnal Christians to a Spiritual Trusting one in Jesus Christ.
Let us pray that they hear the plain speech of each Man of God behind the pulpit as well as studying the Word on their own

Out of Egypt
Given for ransom and used to bring the Chosen One then the Holy One in Jesus OUT OF as a little child

TEMPORAL, FOR A SEASON OR OCCASION PLEASURES
WORD FOR TODAY.
For a time (Greek 4340-PROSKAIROS, from 4314, and 2540, meaning for the occasion ONLY ie temporary, for a season, temporal)
Come , Come to Jesus. While you have time. Chose ye this day to get right accepting the call of God on your life to look like Jesus in Love in order to spread the Gospel. These worldly pleasures are fleeting.
You should not make your preacher carry the load alone. Deny yourself as some of us did in our last season of denial. Quit smoking. Quit the jack Black, or Crown Royal. Keep that stuff out of your nose. Put that joint down. Give something up for GOOD that is not good for your time management, and your temple - Soap operas, horoscope readings WAKE UP EARLIER AND WORK OUT INSTEAD. Be unselfish to the "yourself of the future".
The Scripture tells us that Moses chose to share the oppression of God's people instead of enjoying the fleeting pleasures of sin ( Hebrews 11:25) on his way to the Promise land. You do not have to go to China or to the Middle East like Oswald Chambers, but you also can chose a season of denial , which will be a determined step towards fulfilling the Great Commission. Remember you also are on your way like a wise virgin toward being called, possibly while living, to be changed in the twinkling of an eye, after the dead in Christ are raised first.
Come to Jesus and be prepared to help the widow, orphan, and stranger with your material here in Houston. Then you will have an opportunity to reveal the Good News of Jesus Christ, because you will begin to pray for it!
It is ironic that the scripture (Hosea 11:1) also tells us that out of the Mother Land and in particular Egypt, I called my son.
Are you choosing to be a part of this irony like Moses and Jesus or apart from it? It can only happen by your freewill choice. Chose you this day the way the truth the light in Jesus Christ with your loving ministry, Chose His way while you have time. Do not be afraid.

Bibleboost a tool for a man or woman of God. Use it!
Both of these clips are compliments of a God given invention called Bibleboost. This invention is over 7 years old now. I want to thank God for its ability to penetrate darkness. May Jesus be praised as well as the Holy Spirit who strengthens and enlightens to do all we do
Both Abraham and Noah are mentioned also in the Koran. Let us pray for conversion of just one Muslim and just one Jew while doing something about it in finding things that we agree upon. All
three of us can agree on the existence of Noah, Abraham and Jesus. Let us start the ball rolling to find likenesses, then get into the heavy part like virgin birth (agreed upon by 2), death then resurrection, getting real heavy on salvation (agreed upon by 2) , and Jesus' coming back

You are a Veteran and a Soldier in the army as a Christian
First of all give thanks to all Veterans today, who fought for our country to their death or severe injury to limb, against the evil of tyranny. This includes the tyranny of such as all who claim economic, and religious privilege including those of the Aryan race, or lighter skin and hair color, regardless of their religion.
We heard an excellent appropriately timely message on the whole armour of God yesterday. A local pastor was appropriate for the time with tomorrow being Veterans Day in speaking on the Whole Armor of God. The sealing with the secret weapon of prayer In the message was also a good reminder. He spent time on the helmet being an important part of your functioning as you "dress up" with it.
How is your thought life so far today?. Have there been many negative thoughts? Can you function as one of God's soldiers with inappropriate thoughts towards those in your house or outside of it? This is what makes the church of today impotent.
How is your thought life so far today?. Have there been many negative thoughts? Can you function as one of God's soldiers with inappropriate thoughts towards those in your house or outside of it?
How do you distinguish between those thoughts of God and of elsewhere? According to Paul in Philippians 4:8," Finally Brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are PURE. whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue and if there any praise; THINK ON THESE THINGS. (This is why I like JAZZ. It is all of those things, especially if combined with Gospel Lyric as GAZZ)
You will not be able to do this as expeditiously watching the morning news and your horoscope.. If you read your Word you will be able to be given a heads up on what to expect today anyway and have faith that God will get you through. Be a wise virgin in living your life as if Jesus will return today.
Pray that God takes away the desire to be better than others who are victims of the adversary seeking who he may devour seen on the news, since he was defeated when Jesus got up from death. Pray for the imprisoned a few of whom are victims of modern day piracy. The battle is over. All you see are skirmishes similar to those waged up to this day after the Civil War by the Copperheads .
No weapon formed against you can prosper. Count on this promise. Pray instead of watching the news as you dress up yourself, and your children and possibly your grandchildren. See each part being put on. Use your secret weapon against your enemy. If you are prayed up you will not have to worry about chickens coming home to roost for others or yourself. You will not spend your productive time on nonsense.
As a believer in Christ, you should be a veteran of local wars- with your enemy the accuser. Suit up. In particular go through the motions of putting on your helmet first in order to protect the executive function -your thinking. Then do not forget the seal after you use the Word on the situation, as well the belt and the shoes and the shield which Paul says is ABOVE ALL. IF YOU PUT ON THE HELMET YOU WILL BE ABLE TO THINK SOBERLY AND PERFORM YOUR OTHER APPROPRIATE DRESSING UP!

Who anointed you?
Is all anointing authentic? Who ultimately legitimizes a ministry with an anointing? If we look at Enoch, Samuel, David,Isaiah, Jerimiah, Elijah, Elisha,James, Paul and God-Man himself in Jesus we see all but Enoch having their walk with God put to question.
People in power will tend to do that and out of fear and insecurity do things to present obstacles to their perceived competitors ministries. Nevetheless, in the Kingdom of God there are no competitors. As Jesus said in commentary to those baptizing in His name "You are either for me or against me"

Are you breaking covenant by making PROVISIONS for the flesh
An obviously majority culture 80 year old woman was crying out on a recent "call in for prayer night" on KHCB less than a week ago. She said that her husband who was an upstanding member of the church and was starting to lose his memory , told her to "mind your own business" when she asked him what he was watching on the internet. Statistics have shown that even the church has an amazing statisti...c (past 50%) of those who regularly view pornography in this internet age.
Men and women, are you finding yourselves making provisions for the flesh in your more than casual looks at poronography? This can do nothing but damage your walk with Jesus no matter what your stage or age as a Christian. This is a deal killer no matter what your ministry and no matter how you were anointed.
In the last verse of Malachi it states. "He will restore the hearts of the fathers to the children and the children toward their fathers." Our enemy has used the same tricks in our post- Adamic age including in Egypt offering idols of Egyptian nature to thwart the pre-slavery Isrealites, pulling them into a conundrum of idol-worship and fornication/adultery. This is mentioned in Ezekial 20. God continued to give His grace until there were disparaging remarks made against him and complaints of being delivered from Egypt. A complete generation of the chosen did not see the promised land due to God's wrath.
Do you need to renew your mind toward Jesus asking Him to create a clean heart in you and restored Spiritual mind against pornography today? To thine own self be true. We have not strength as an overcomer, because we ask not for strength to be an overcomer. Are you part of the remnant, or are you still comfortable in your rebellion?
