Message

In various scriptures in the Bible, Jesus, Paul, the disciples, or others deliver demonically oppressed people from the devil’s influence. Yet, the Church as a whole has left that aspect of Jesus’ ministry out. There are churches across America and the world that do not even touch the area of deliverance or worst believe that demons or the darkness does not exist. There is a movie that played in theaters several years ago called “the Kingdom of Heaven” The premise of the film was that the believers in the church would fight against an insurrection in Jerusalem. When I watched that movie for the first time, the film left a lasting impact on my spiritual walk. Not that the film was overly spiritual; it wasn’t or that it had some deep hidden meaning embedded in the film; it didn’t.   It just shows what lengths some people would go to hold off the enemy. Every time I go to Israel, I am reminded what we are fighting for. Jesus walked the earth so we can be free and destroy the darkness off of our lives. As a matter of fact we visit and walk the “way of the cross” and feel His pain of the price Jesus paid for our freedom. By denying Jesus’ ministry of deliverance, we deny the power of the cross. The Church needs to get back to making war against the enemy and his imps. Notice in the scripture below, the man with an unclean spirit was in the church. Don’t be fooled there are plenty of people in the church needing deliverance from unclean spirits or other darknesses. It is time for us to make war. GBFIC is called to collide with darkness. I am ready to fight so GBFIC and friends, let’s go! “We need to Make War”

Scripture

“And in the synagogue there was a man, which had a spirit of an unclean devil, and cried out with a loud voice, Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God. And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the devil had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him not.”
Luke‬ ‭4:33-35‬ ‭KJV‬‬

]]> Cleanse The Temple https://gbfic.org/blog/2021/02/10/cleanse-the-temple Wed, 10 Feb 2021 08:09:18 +0000 https://gbfic.org/blog/2021/02/10/cleanse-the-temple
In John chapter 2, soon after Jesus performed the first miracle, Jesus goes to the temple in Jerusalem to celebrate the Jewish Feast of Passover.  What He finds is appalling to Him.  The money changers are using the House of God as their personal extortion enterprise.  At that moment, Jesus expresses His righteous indignation because of the junk going on in His house. That is the issue going on in the body of Christ.  So called houses of worship aren’t doing what they were originally called to do. Those churches are entertaining people, but are not moving people into the Kingdom of God or getting people saved. These churches have “big screens, smoke machines and the pastors are wearing skinny jeans.” These churches are trying to manufacture the glory where none is present.  God is having none of that.  
Churches that are serving the Lord and doing it the right way are often ridiculed and talked about.  GBFIC, where it is always GLORY time, must keep pressing towards the mark of the high calling of Jesus.  We will not stop. We will not give up. We will worship God in Spirit and in truth.
Jesus is desiring holiness back in His churches.  I hear the Lord saying to GBFIC “Keep up the good work, people of God, because the zeal of the Lord consumes you!” 
“After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they continued there not many days. And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem, And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting: And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables; And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise. And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up."
- ‭‭John‬ ‭2:12-17‬ ‭KJV‬‬
]]> Not Today Satan! https://gbfic.org/blog/2021/02/03/not-today-satan Wed, 03 Feb 2021 08:09:46 +0000 https://gbfic.org/blog/2021/02/03/not-today-satan
Today’s Bishop’s Buzz is a reminder to us sold out believers of Jesus. If you are filled with the Holy Spirit and believer in the redemption of Jesus Christ that occurred on the Cross almost 2000 years ago, then you have to hear me very closely. It is time for Jesus’ power to work through you and you must stand up and tell the devil, “Not Today Satan”. When we get up in the morning you must declare in the atmosphere that you are going to serve Jesus and not going to serve your lust, your flesh or anything else that would separate you from God.

There are two conditions a Christian can develop towards. Let’s investigate them both.

First we can look at a doctrine called the “Carnal Christian”. You have heard me describe this as the meat-head syndrome. This condition is defined as a case where a person places his faith and trust in Jesus for salvation and yet there is no change in his behavior. His mind is still stuck in the past, lustful passions, and isn’t transformed or converted. He or she continues to live in the grip of sin just as they did before and yet it is believed that he is still saved (still debatable).
Secondly there is this other condition we can look at. This is the place we want to be in Christ. A position or a condition of Christian holiness. This would be the case when a person places his faith and trust in Jesus for salvation and he becomes a “new creation” in Jesus Christ. This is full transformation or conversion. This person who is truly converted becomes more and more transformed into the image of Christ and no longer lives in slavery to sin.

Is it possible to live a holy life in a sin saturated world? It is and this is how we do it. We reject the devil, by saying to all his temptations and lustful dainties “NOT TODAY SATAN!”
“ From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. ”
 James 4:1-8
]]> Contend For The Faith I believe this is the season where we as Christians need to “contend for the faith.”  There is a movement in the church that if we let manifest, the entire body of Christ will be led astray.

I believe this is the season where we as Christians need to “contend for the faith.”  There is a movement in the church that if we let manifest, the entire body of Christ will be led astray. At GBFIC and other sold out for Jesus churches, it is our responsibility to show the believers and unbelievers alike, what Christianity looks like.  Living holy should be a tenet of being a Christian, but right now it seems like the exception, not the rule.  In 2021, GBFIC will be a lighthouse of holiness, a pillar of grace, a refuge for the people of God seeking a personal and church revival.  They will no longer feel like they have been on an island by themselves, as they find out that GBFIC is the place where revival and revelation resides.  2021 is “Glory Time!”  
In Jude 1:1-7 KJV, the Word of God states “1 Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called: Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied. Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.”
]]> The Redeemer's Revival https://gbfic.org/blog/2021/01/19/the-redeemer-s-revival Tue, 19 Jan 2021 20:37:45 +0000 https://gbfic.org/blog/2021/01/19/the-redeemer-s-revival
I BELIEVE that 2021 is the year of redemption for God’s people. In 2021 you will see great miracles, great breakthroughs, and great signs and wonders from the Holy Spirit to the believers. GBFIC is positioned for the Redeemer’s revival.  Don’t miss your revival by falling out of line with Jesus.  Tell family and friends about the coming revival at GBFIC and KC.  Invite them out because Glory Bible Fellowship International Church is the place where it is always “Glory Time!” 

Scripture

“But now thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. For I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee. Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life. Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west; I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth; Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.” 
- Isaiah‬ ‭43:1-7‬ ‭KJV‬‬
