Lust is defined as a passionate desire for something.

Lust of the sole eventually becomes lust of the heart. Provisioning the heart for a deeper evil, or a greater righteousness. And even empowering it to dictate over the soul.

I John 2:16

For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

We have a natural yearning, and even a lust to understand the things of God. But because...

From the moment that we exit the womb we’re on a journey…a journey to discover who we were configured to be. Or who we will choose to become. A journey that is first motivated by the aspirations of the sole; having only two perspectives. Happy and sad; content and discontent.

In the beginning these are all we know. The self serving ways of our emotions. What we like and what we dislike. And the elevation of darkness or light are rapidly put into the motion of motivating the heart as to which path it will embr...

BLESSED BY DIVISION

IN ALL HONESTY, the unity in the spirit of God that we profess within the fellowships just isn’t there. But notice that I said the unity of the spirit. We do in fact have a unity, but too often it is a unity in things contrary to the will of God. Mathew 10:34-36 says

34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the da...

The scriptures say what dealing does light have with darkness. We have a standard perspective to our spiritual and moral values. But yet we will deal with people who clearly have spiritual and moral values that do not add up to who we are. So the question is, how do you relate to them, Do you truly relate to them to where you connect to their values? Or are their values feeding off of whats with you. Except that we stop and make an assessment of our relationship values, we will never know.

Some of the most basic things in life can be more complicated than we understand. Failed relationships can seem to be the root element behind everything from divorce, to the war conflicts that we now see in Ukraine and Israel. Yet, the failed relationship is not the reasoning; but the absence of the dynamics by which relationships become effectual. Take a walk with me as we seek to understand exactly what is missing in the endeavor or relationship. Understanding what is missing, could change the entire structure of our Social, workplace, family, and even spiritual relationships. I truly hope...

It's only normal that we would believe that the word of God is sufficient for us when it comes to understanding his heart. But the nation of Israel had the word of God directly from the mouth of God, and still, they could not seem to understand the things of the heart of God. It was for this reason that God sent his son. Many people's perception of the coming of Christ ends with the concept of him dying so that we might have victory over the law of sin and death. But there's so much more to his...

Many earnestly believe that they are steadfast in the things of God, unfortunately, they are earnestly wrong. We always talk about how pleasing God is to us, but we never really consider what we must do to be pleasing to him. This life isn't all about us, but about the many that we can effect through a life of focused commitment. What have you been missing that could be vital to others that are watching?

Morals are defined as being of or relating to principles of right and wrong in behavior or simply put, ethical standards.There was a time when we did have principal standards of right and wrong. But in today's world, the truth has come to be whatever we perceive in our own minds. We have come to a place in time where we no longer even consider the explanation of clarity that’s right in front of our faces. Because the only thing that matters this our own opinion.We have come to a place where the moral compass of seemingly go...

Faith is much more that a verbal proclamation, and many never reach the fulfillment of its true meaning. Here's a clip from the podcast entitled A Misconception of Faith

Proverbs 14:12-16 saysThere is a way which seemeth right unto a man, But the end thereof are the ways of death. Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; And the end of that mirth is heaviness. The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: And a good man shall be satisfied from himself.Death in itself is defined as separation from God. Many of us walk about in this life not even knowing that we are spiritually dead...Believing that we know God , but in reality we only know of Him. And in retrospect to that...

Throughout the history of man many a war was presumably initiated in part because of religion, or should I say because of Man believing that the righteousness of God gave him power to declare war. Jeremiah 17:9

9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

It is my belief that no war was ever because of religion, They have always been because of the wickedness of men’s hearts that were grasping for whatever they could find to fulfill their own endeavors. When I think about the transitions that our na...

When I look at the condition that our nation has to to be. Sometimes all I can do is shake my head. But the time has come for men to start shaking their head at the way that our women have rejected our leadership; and then accepting that its our own fault. They were designed to obey God in us. And we've been giving that everything that is us, and literally nothing that is solely God.

Two very important warnings found in the word of God Are. You cannot have two masters you will love one and hate the other. And the hour will come when they will worship the creature more than the creator. In today’s world both of these warnings have been disregarded to the point of full manifestation. But where are you today, can you say that you have risen above both of these defects.

When it comes down to the concept of intellect, what God’s word said about it, and how it challenges the validity of our walk, there are only two scriptures needed to bring clarity

Proverbs 3:5-6 says

5. Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

6.In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

Mathew 22:37

37. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.

Now Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen, but KNOWING beyond the shadow of a doubt, comes only by the spirit. When you turn up a bottle of cold soda, do you need faith to assure you of the satisfaction to come? If you’ve been driving an old car that always gives you trouble starting, you tend to pray with faith that it will start; but when you buy a brand new car, do you still have faith that it will start, or do you rest in the assuredness of what yo...

The scriptures enlighten us on many occasions of how wayward the people of God would become. The sad part to it is that most of us who are in a wayward state can't even see it. In most cases its because we cant discern the root elements of our walk of indecision. So we end up on the fence. Unable to fully partake of the worlds was, because that's not who you are. And also unable to please God, because you haven't fully committed to Him. In this Podcast Johnson Unabunwa is going to confront 5 of the main reasons...

The story of Jonah is a depiction of how easy it can be for us to refuse to do what God needs for us to do. I'm more than happy to give my personal experience with that dilemma in my own life. But how about you? Have you ever considered what you may never be willing to do for God? Or what He may be desiring of you right now, that you're just not willing to do. Refusing to walk with God can put us in an environment that has no covering from adverse circumstances both physical and spiritual...

There are things in the word of God that we’ve heard over and over, yet never came to a revelation of exactly what it meant. I was awakened at 3 AM on January the 27th of 2022 With the following revelation from the Holy Spirit. A portion of the things that the Lord has directed us to pray to the father are lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, forever, Amen (Mathew 6:13). The Lord God would never direct the Holy Spirit to lead us into temptation, so wh...

The scariest things in life are the things that you venture into with no knowledge of what is to come. For many the biggest of those scary ventures is the concept of coming to the completion of this physical realm. What do you say as one who trust God? In all honesty, are you in some sense still afraid of death?

The adversities of life do not arrive to a welcoming perception, unless we have conditioned ourselves to understand the reasoning to those adverse occurrences. That can only come if we understand the meaning behind Faith being the evidence of things hoped for and the substance of things unseen. The question is, what is the core of all you hope for in life? This is a message of monumental proportion, just don't cut out early and miss the blessing that snowballs to the conclusion
