Negative Affirmation

Filed under: Inspirational, Motivation — 1 Comment
June 29, 2022

There is an old saying, “Be careful of what you wish for.” Well, what it means is what you affirm is what you will get. People today are stating and protesting things without thinking about what they are saying and thinking. They are setting in motion for their lives the very thing. Let’s examine the recent protest by women over the reversal of Roe vs. Wade. What are they affirming with their protest? What is that they want? They want the freedom to have an abortion. What does that represent if you want the freedom to have an abortion? 

Women who resent being told that abortion is wrong are protesting the right to be promiscuous, to enjoy sex whenever and with whomever without using any form of contraceptive. And even to experience what it is like to get pregnant and then abort it without any remorse. We have a total breakdown of moral behavior, a result of a lack of disbelief in a God and the consequence. The result is they are affirming the want for an abortion and the trauma that comes with it. Without realizing that their protest is saying I want an abortion. Is that what they really want? Affirmations should be more positive.

The Two Farmers

Let’s look at the facts concerning abortion from a different view.  Women claim they have a right, it is their body and they should have the right to choose what they do to it. Let’s call them the Farm Owner they invite a Seed Farmer who has lots of seeds to play on the farm. But the Farmer Owner does not tell the Speed Farmer not to leave his seeds anywhere on the farm. The Farm Owner doesn’t protect the area from being seeded either, no covering over the soil, or use anti-seed repellent. So she welcomes the Seed Farmer to play and plant his seeds anyway. The seeds begin to grow and Farm Owner decides after not doing anything from keeping the Seed Farmer from planting seeds to destroy the crop. Since the seeds don’t belong to Farm Owner how does she, the Farm Owner, have the right to demand what she wants to do with seed growing on her farm, (her body) when in fact she is not destroying, the farm, (her body) but the Seed Farmer’s crop? Therefore the Seed Farmer who planted the seeds with the farm owners’ indirect permission should have a say to his crop. Now I don’t see the Farm Owner destroying the farm and she if tried someone would say she is crazy. She isn’t burning down the farm. It is not about the farm but the crop. The crop also belongs to the Seed Farmer. So ladies the choices are clear, do not have sex unprotected if you don’t want (the Crop) babies. But if you want to feel liquid seed bullets spraying on the farm try using the pill, or an IUD. Since that would the right choice from keeping the Seed Farmer from leaving his seeds in the first place. Not later when it is life that also belongs to the sperm donor.

Christian Warrior’s Perseverance

Filed under: Christian Education, Faith Seeds, Inspirational, Lord & Doc Ministry, Motivation, Revelation, Spiritual, Warrior Mindset — Leave a comment
January 9, 2021

The Lord Jesus Christ gave us an order and it is for us to stand fast at all times against an enemy. The Lord knows that we may become weak in times of tribulation so He provides us with His strength. “But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one. 4 We have confidence in the Lord that you are doing and will continue to do the things we command. 5 May the Lord direct your hearts into God’s love and Christ’s perseverance.”(2 Thessalonians 3:3-5 NIV) The keyword here is perseverance. 

When we read or hear of God’s protection, we will first experience no physical harm. The actual security is that of our spirit, so we do not lose hope and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. God’s protection through the Holy Spirit strengthens us to stand trials and persecution, even unto death. A Christian Warrior must always be on guard from listening to the notion that God will free you from a painful death by torture. A look at the history of nearly two thousand years will show many men and women who died martyrs death; this is what it means to have perseverance.

Today many Christian have grown soft and believe that God will plunk them from the earth when some terrible trouble and adversity arrives, but trails are always present. War, famine, killing, and disease are still ready to destroy us. We are to stand fast, to have perseverance, and not crumble in these times of trial. A Christian Warrior’s mindset is one that no matter how badly the fighting goes, you continue to fight even when all is lost. Unlike those of Masada who choose suicide, then die at the hand of a Roman soldier or become a slave. A Christian Warrior as orders from the Lord to stand fast, to persevere to the last breath.

To Follow is to Imitate

Filed under: Christian Education, Faith Seeds, Inspirational, Lord & Doc Ministry, Motivation, Spiritual, Warrior Mindset — 2 Comments
December 29, 2020

When I was young, before my teens, we would often play a game called Follow the Leader and when following the leader in this game is to do what the leader did. If the leader jumps, you jump. If the leader ran or climbed a fence, you did the same. Hence, we can say that following is to imitate the leader. Jesus said this about following him. “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” (John 8:12 NIV) Well, back to the game, if Jesus is the light and walks in the light, then if I follow Him, then I too am in the light, and I too am light because a follower imitates the leader and the Holy Spirit helps us to do both follow and imitate.

If, while playing the game, the leader walks in the sand or the snow, then we who follow must step where the leader stepped. Therefore to follow Jesus, we must walk in His footsteps without changing His steps’ imprint, so we must also imitate Him. To imitate Jesus Christ, we must learn to think and act like Jesus Christ to follow him accurately. Every action that the leader makes in the game of following the leader must be carried out. To be successful, we must stop trying to do something else behind the leader. When we do, we are not following.

What then is the first thing a follower must do to follow the leader accurately? The follower can no longer think of what to do and when to do it. The key to this is in Psalm 46:10 when God says, “Be still, and know that I am God.” This is the basis of all spiritual work. Let the voice of the Holy Spirit tell you what to do and when to do it. When you listen and do what the Holy Spirit says to do, and you do it. You are following Christ in His footsteps. Let me remind you following in Christ’s footsteps is not easy. Like in the game I play as a pre-teen, the leader would jump over, crawl under, climb over obstacles. In life, we face many challenges but if we follow Jesus Christ and imitate what He does, we get over them. The game begins when the leader Jesus said, “Come, follow me,” (Matthew 4:19 NIV)

WARRIOR-LIFE OF SELF-SACRIFICE

Filed under: Christian Education, Faith Seeds, Inspirational, Lord & Doc Ministry, Motivation, Revelation, Spiritual, Warrior Mindset — Leave a comment
December 2, 2020

“Join with me in suffering, like a good soldier of Christ Jesus. 4 No one serving as a soldier gets entangled in civilian affairs, but rather tries to please his commanding officer.” (2 Timothy 2:3-4 NIV)

Today many churches of various denominations emphasize the prosperity message. The doctrine teaches a joyful, comfortable lifestyle of wealth if you give your life over to Jesus Christ. However, true warriors in the army of God know they are committing to going into harm’s way for the Gospel and the righteous cause. It teaches we may perhaps pay the ultimate price for the ideal.

We must understand that God’s mission for us is to be engaged on the battlefield against the evil in this world. It is a difficult battle because we must resist our selfish nature. Yet, it is easy because we live by the new nature that Christ provides. Hence we may suffer persecution as mighty warriors worthy of the Kingdom.

The apostles were warriors; this is the response they gave after the Sanhedrin had them flogged. “The apostles left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing because they had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the Name.”  (Act 5:41) Christian warriors are always prepared to lay down their lives; in doing so, they find it; this is a comfort and a peace that the world cannot give. It does not mean we will be free of problems, but a warrior faces each one without complaint, knowing that the solution is at hand. 

In closing, it means when you are a born-again Christian; you are behind enemy lines in the middle of the battle, so you must have on your armor and are ready to fight. (Ephesians 6:10-18)

Warrior’s Mindset

Filed under: Christian Education, Faith Seeds, Inspirational, Lord & Doc Ministry, Motivation, Spiritual, Warrior Mindset — Leave a comment
November 24, 2020

The critical element of a Christian warrior’s mindset is no matter what rank, position, or career, is how the warrior deals with the idea of death and their behavior at the moment of death. It does not matter the degree of education, intelligence, and eloquence the warrior may have; if you lose composure on the brink of extinction and die in an unfaithful manner, all your previous good works and belief will all be in vain.

Like nonbelievers, today’s Christians put greater emphasis on living here on earth with a notion of a long life, with little care of living with Christ. Since the idea of living with Christ focuses on our earthly presents, it shadows over our future home. No one will have eternal life on earth until Jesus Christ returns, and the Kingdom of God will be here on earth. Each generation wants to believe that the Lord is coming in their lifetime. Their spirit desires that they are alive to see Jesus arrive. Hence, the deep concern for being healthy. The importance of health and long life focuses on the self and is a form of idolatry.

The Christian Warriors differ in their mindset. They focus on being prepared to die with strength and dignity. Complaining and crying is not an option. It would be an embarrassment. A warrior understands that life at any moment may end. Also, one may need to die so that others may live, a firefighter running into a burning building, a police officer in an emergency, and citizens saving someone from drowning. Christian Warriors are ready to die every day, and it affects their lives as a result.

When we think, today may be our last. Hopefully, we will have made beautiful memories for those we leave behind. The last memory we want our loved ones to have is also how we died. A Christian Warrior dies as he did every day, not complaining, thanking the Lord for the trials and tribulation for they build strength, courage, and endurance for the peace that comes after that final journey. When we die with courage, we set the tone and example of how those left behind should live and die, with the Lord’s Grace.

I Was Not Asked to Be Born

Filed under: Christian Education, Faith Seeds, Inspirational, Lord & Doc Ministry, Motivation, Revelation, Self-improvement, Spiritual, Warrior Mindset — Leave a comment
February 16, 2020

Why does God deliver? I will answer this question from how the Holy Spirit is prompting me to answer. The question that many people ask is, “I did not ask to be born and it is not fair that I should go to Hell if I did not ask to be here. I did not ask to have this body, and this weakness, therefore, why should I be punished?” I know that I have asked these questions myself. Now let us examine why God delivers us. God knows all of the questions I have asked and God would say I am right you had no choice in Me creating you. The Holy Spirit is answering this as I write. “I knew that man would sin since I created man from the dust of the earth and therefore there is darkness as part of man’s nature. I knew that man would sin. Since My Justice requires punishment and My mercy forgiveness I provided a means to satisfy both conditions.

For my creation to be created from Light and destroy darkness and sin that is present in man and in the world forever. To satisfy both the conditions for Justice and Mercy I would have to die in man’s place to do so I became man. Once that was completed man now had a choice to remain in darkness and be punished or to receive My light and live with me for all eternity. Now mankind would have the choice they did not have upon entering the world.” Since God created man from the dust of the earth, which predisposes man to sin. God’s justice also requires Him to rectify the predisposed condition. God’s love and mercy would require action on man’s behalf since they did not request to be created. Therefore God’s sacrifice of Himself as Christ satisfies all the conditions of justice and mercy.

Easy to Deceive

Filed under: Education, Inspirational, Motivation, Self-Help, Self-improvement, Warrior Mindset — Leave a comment
January 19, 2020

The young people today you are addicted to their cell phones can easily be deceive and also have more difficult in make lasting long term relationships. They’re so many men and women that cannot seem to find the ‘one’ they would like to spend their life with.The problem is with the use of the cell phone being their source for communication. The reason is in the lack of eye contact.

People generally have a favorable opinion of someone who is on the same or similar wavelength as them. When trying to win the heart of someone we tend to look for similarities in the other person that are agreeable with our own. We need to read the wavelength of the other person and take appropriate approach. However, texting, emailing, and even phone conversation can be miss leading since you cannot associate the message with the physical behavior. So in essences you cannot fully determine if the other persons wavelengths are compatible with yours.

The element that is missing to interpret the relationship between two people is in eye movement and thoughts. Bingo! We need to observe eye movement to determine if in fact wavelengths are similar and a relationship can develop or not. This key factor is not present in texting, or emailing. There is a possibility in a video chat if the parties are sitting close enough to see eye movement.

Since this article is dealing with the notion of easy deception and why young people who use their cell phones to build relationships can be deceived. The Blinking of Eyes is a window to truth or lies. It is known that there is a relationship between blinking the eyes and lying. Blinking the eyes provides important information about the other person; specifically, it can tell you whether or not the person is telling the truth in response to your question. It is important to carefully observe the way the other person blinks and look for a pattern. This is also effective behavior to use when negotiating a deal. To conclude put the cell phone away and meet the person face to face if you wish to establish a relationship.

Strength & Weakness

Filed under: Christian Education, Education, Faith Seeds, Lord & Doc Show, Motivation, Revelation, Self-improvement, Spiritual, Warrior Mindset — Leave a comment
January 10, 2020

Everyone has weaknesses. You need to focus on improving your strengths rather than worrying about weaknesses. Your strength is where the Lord has provided is Might. Defining your strengths and sharpening them is the faster way to grow. It is here where you are in unity with the Lord. It is important to pre-establish your expertise that you can be absolutely greater than your opponent, and that opponent is the forces of evil. Don’t ever show your weakness. You have to assume that everyone around you is your potential enemy. When you display your weakness you open the hedge and let Satan in. “How long will you assault me? Would all of you throw me down this leaning wall, this tottering fence?” (Psalm 62:3 NIV)

Do not show your weaknesses at work, for those may desire to have your job. Not showing or letting them see your weaknesses also means you are seeing through your opponents’ weaknesses. Once you pull a bluff make sure you carry through. There are two cases when you look at your weaknesses. One is when you are aware of your weaknesses and are emotionally ready for them. The other case is when you are not aware of your own weaknesses. The important thing for a leader is to be aware of your own weaknesses and see through your opponent’s weaknesses. Rely on your strength that comes from the Almighty and worry not of your weakness.

Christian Warrior Invitation

Filed under: Christian Education, Inspirational, Motivation, Spiritual — 2 Comments

I have a question for all Christians. What would you say if someone put a gun to your head and said? “Are you ready to meet Jesus.” Well, if your answer in any way rejects Jesus than you made a big mistake because Jesus the King of kings said this. “Whoever tries to keep their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life will preserve it.” (Luke 17:33 NIV) So I ask you are you a coward or a warrior for Jesus Christ willing to die for him because that is what it means to follow Jesus. You see you cannot fool God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit by thinking I’ll reject Jesus at gunpoint then when I get away ask Jesus to forgive me. I got some bad news for you. It won’t work. 

The Lord has called me to gather the warriors to him. Those who have already put on the armor of God or those getting ready to put it on. (Ephesians 6:10-18) If you don’t know Jesus or reject him, I suggest you ask God to draw you to him. The Lord is seeking warriors for the end time battle against the forces of evil. “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” (Ephesians 6:12 NIV) This call is not for a new church or seeking donation I am just an old warrior with orders to share with you.

So are you a soft half-hearted Christian or one filled with courage that comes from the Holy Spirit. The U.S Marines have a battle cry, and it is “Oorah!”  We Christian Warriors have ours as well, and it is “Desu Vult!” “God’s Will!” I ask that you join me in a battle against the forces led by Satan. It is Desu Vult that we participate in the fight. Become a friend of the Lord & Doc Ministry on Facebook and start receiving your orders.
