Then some of the scribes and pharisees said to him, "Teacher, we wish to see a sign from you." He said to them in reply, "An evil and unfaithful generation seeks a sign, but no sign will be given it except the Sign of Jonah the prophet. Just as Jonah was in the belly of the whale three days and three nights, so will the Son of Man be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights." (Matthew 12: 38-40).
Some of the rumars I hear about what some people are doing and practicing these days is just scarey.
Legalism and trying to play God in people's life or your own for that matter is dangerous point blank.
An evil and unfaithful generation seeks a sign is where we are at now can you smell and see it I can.
People are hungrey for the wrong things, such as wonders, signs, miracles. Will those things strenghten your faith?? Maybe but it can be a hindrance to your walk with the Lord. Got to remember one thing and that one thing is this.
You can't do miracles or wonders in the Lord without Him. The Lord isn't interested in people who chase these things apart from Him. I've had some experience with a certain person trying to force the Lord to perform miracles in my life. This person has learned the hard way we arn't the boss He is, and God help this person if they continue, when we fight out of His hands it's never good and satan wins.
Alot of the problem is alot of Believers look at the old story's and try to be like those guys? Well you can't we are not under that percesution and to thrist for that or want it your insane. Calm down let God be God in your life and walk in His love what else matters???
I was in a room I go to alot chat that is, and it's full of atheist and such. They are rude make fun of believers call us tards, mentals, take your meds etc. Kinda ticks me off, I know Jesus said the whole turn the cheek deal but man do they push it huh?? I said boldly I score no points with God witnessing to you, I do it out of Love and it ends there.
If you shut up calm down and just look at things in the Lord's eyes and learn His voice in His presence.
You will know what He wants to do through you and not have to get alll nutty to force things He never meant. Bible clearly says don't test the Lord.
Of course people want a sigh and miracles, thier sin and rebellion has separated them from the presence of the Lord and they are starving for Him. I mean you have seeds that don't understand salvation because it is soooo mixed up and taught different and people make it almost impossible to be with one with the Lord.
You have to repent daily, you have to be humble to Him with pure motives and a good heart. We have to receive Grace ((Spirit)) everyday for that contentment lost of guilt and confidence in Him.
We have to calm down the harvest is ripe, no insane signs or miracles. Just people consumed in the Love and Spirit of Christ preaching praying and just letting God be God for the salvation for the lost. With that applied in your life no matter what anyone says you are living salvation. Anything else well good luck, you'll end up in a mental state you will not be useful to the Lord. Can't stand or work for the Lord without the Lord so apply that and calm down!!!!!!!!!!!

Luke 8:11 This is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God. ((discerned)) The seed the word of the Lord is the Spirit a experience with the Lord. 12 Those along the path are the ones who hear, and then the devil comes and takes the word from their hearts, so they might not believe and be saved.
((discerned)) These are the people you constantly preach the Gospel to and have closed their hearts to the message and that hinders the Spirit from drawing them. Satan can attack a person from not believing alot of ways. Like knowledge, over thinking and such, bad experiences, people other Christians, bad stuff happening in life etc.
13 Those on the rock are the ones who receive the word ((Spirit)) with joy when they hear it, but they have no root. They believe for a while, but in time of testing they fall away.
((discerned)) Alot of people go wrong here, I was one at my early years as a believer. One experience in the Lord doesn't ground us and root us in truth you never grow into that conscience you need to stay in the Lord. Without rain ((Spirit)) on a land in time the ground hardens, and when a heart ((conscience)) hardens, separates us from the Lord. Huge importance to stay in His presence daily.
14 The seed that fell among the thorns stand for those who hear, but as they go thier way they are choked by lifes worries, riches pleasures and they do not mature.
((Discerned)) Gotta worry about life to a point amen.
What Jesus was saying those who lie cheat and steal for those worries for one, and that separates us from the Lord. Also who puts everything above their walk with Christ. Denying Lordship in thier life for worldly stuff or whatever else. God desires us to have well managed lives under the Power of His Spirit.
15 But the seed on good soil stands for those with a good and noble heart, who hear the word word ((retain it)) and by ((persevering)) producing a crop.
This is simply the man or women who understand and see a need for the Lord in daily life in the power of His presence. The humble before the Lord, the one's who love and respect Him instead of testing His patience on a sick level. Love is respect and to follow is respect and actting like the enemy claiming mercy that isn't there your only fooling yourself. You don't understand until you see a need for His presence in your life on a daily basis.
If you need to return to the Lord and you see a error or your heart is hard pray this prayer, no shame I pray daily this prayer in my head or verbal.
Lord Jesus I see a need for you today Lord, Lord forgive me of my doubt renew me in your Spirit Lord.
Flood my life with your Love and Spirit so I can be that seed that understands and can stand against the attacks of the enemy. In Jesus Name I pray Amen.
Pat Robertson: In the 1970's, David Wilkerson, the founder of Teen Challenge, wrote of a vision he said he received from the Lord. Part of the vision centered on the terror that would be loosed on our cities by preteens and teenagers who where born out of wedlock or who had little or no parental love and discipline.
According to Wilkerson these youngsters would grow up wild, with no discipline or no natural affection, and they would began to terrorize our cities with murderer, rape, robbery, and mayhem.
Only an man wearing a long black robe, totally detached from reality, could have possibly written that teaching our young people that their Creator commands them not to kill would have no educational function."or,for that matter no secular purpose. Pat Robertson the 10 offences.
Ever been called a crazy person for wanting to be moral or upright in the Lord? I have it's really annoying, people can't seem to get one thing not everyone wants a ticket to sin a lot land. Oh the one that gets me is lighten up Charles.
I don't get it they are no cooler or hipper than the next guy going into sin a lot land does not make you coooool or hippy dip dop or whatever they may say these days. They are selling you bull bottom line. Sin sells and that's just the way it is. Here buy a six pack ruin you and your family's life, and be a drunk or whatever.
It's almost impossible to avoid temptations or nutty people that are in sin a lot land with a lost conscience with that choice. So what can I do? how can I get myself a moral standard and be cool also?? Well to me the cool person is the person who has the guts to be themselves or think for themselves.
God isn't interested in robots or whatever it is the just these non believers labeling us for not wanting a ticket to sin a lot land. I've said it a million times the Holy Spirit programs you to be good and pleasing to the Lord and you will be that person with a Christ centered conscience.
I see kids and teens just totally corrupted by just total insanity by adults getting rich selling them total non sense, its like they work for satan, saying come on in to sin a lot land, you'll be accepted you'll be loved and wanted and a cool person whooo hoo come on in lol.
I like to think for myself and I go into my program in the Lord's presence everyday and that invites ticks me off more than anything it's like setting me up for death, really doesn't make me a happy man. But in anything most of these people have no idea they are working for satan on the low down.
Think for yourself, be yourself, and have a Spiritual conscience in Jesus, that's all the Lord is asking sounds easy huh>>?? So the Lord's Love Spirit=conscience saying no thanks for sin a lot land, and yes to I got a bit of sense land.
Spiritual Conscience in the Spirit of Grace is a choice so please<<< walk in that Love that is freely given in Jesus.

Oswald Chambers: No power, except the power that comes from being filled with the Holy Spirit, can change or prevent the inherent consequences of sin.
Oswald Chambers: If we walk in the light as He is in the light. For many of us, walking in the light means walking according to the standard we have set up for anther person. The deadliest attitude of the Pharisees that we exhibit today is not hypocrisy but that which comes from unconsciously living a lie.
It's funny I needed a verse or some Chambers kinda help me with this devotion. I opened my Chambers book once and wow there it was. To the point yes I'm a fraud, no in myself am I any good according to the Lord's standard.
I can waste my time trying to please men and women into thinking I'm the real Christian yes I am the man etc. I don't want to be your god and I don't want you to follow me or even see me as a example. My point and where my teachings lead to is for you to find yourself in the presence of the Lord and if that happens you have no need for me.
Everyone wants to be important and everyone wants to feel needed. There is nothing wrong with that unless you try to become god in people's lives that's when you are 100% wrong.
True followers of Christ lead people to Christ because that is what we need anyway. I don't want to be your example I want to be the guy you can trust and the guy you can turn your back on and feel safe.
I take you off the wheel of life when I demand you to be like me. My job as a Believer is to lead you to that wheel and let the Lord do the molding. The Lord doesn't need men and women examples He needs teachers of Grace and ((everyone)) getting on the same page in the Spirit of Grace.
And you people who teach love in total comfort, watch yourself honestly. Some people live in dangerous places with dangerous ticked off people that don't understand love. We have many tools to reach the lost for Christ we don't have to risk our lives and be super Christian. If the Lord has put that in your heart have a game plan, don't be a fool.
So bottom line is this, apart from the Spirit of Grace I'm a fraud and the Spirit of Grace is the only goodness and perfection that's in me. So yes without the Spirit of Grace I'm nothing as Jesus said I was apart from Him. In Him I can have purpose in Him. It's that simple.

This Nation we call the United States of America was built on the name of Jesus Christ like it or not. The Lord has protected and per served this Nation since day one when they built it in His name. Atheist, other religions you have the freedoms you have because America has won wars under the protection and blessings of the Lord of all has been with us since day one.
If I run a successful business and well get Blessed richly with, to change my methods for no reason at all??? Am I a fool?? I don't believe in forcing people to believe in the Lord or any faiths for that matter. Important thing I learned with my walk with Christ, He gives me a choice who I am to do otherwise.
But that doesn't change the fact to change America's foundation and reason for being so Blessed because someone hates the Lord Almighty and what He stands for. The laws state you are free not to be a Believer and still get the Blessings of this beautiful Nation. Why not leave it there?? Can't you people see the darkness forming over the heart of this Nation>?>? I can:(
Stick with what works and the Lord wants to protect and guide the hearts of our leaders so that we will be secure and protected. So atheist, other religions, lay off what this Nation is founded on and let it be. What's the big deal??? why do you want to take what we stood for since day one?? why?? your drives tell me please/??
I personally know a lot of people blame the Lord for bad things or bad experience's with Christians. Hey I have had a church of professing believers psychologically tell me I was going to die every time I was there, but that never changed my walk with Jesus. People are people wherever you go or faith no faith, the reality of this life is just that. So don't let some nutty jerks keep you from a forever love in Christ.
God Bless the USA is our theme song. We need that and we need the Lord of all to protect us.
Don't lose what we are founded,Blessed, and protected by the Lord of all Jesus Christ.

Oswald Chambers: But you must always be willing to come to a point of giving up your convictions and traditional beliefs. Don't ask God to test you. Never declare as Peter did that you are willing to do anything even go to... but prison and death. Abraham did not make any such statement- he simply remained true to God and God purified his faith.
1 Corinthians 10:9 We should not test the Lord, as some of them did.
You have alot of different believers. Some understand, some don't, and some have went nuts. I've tested myself, and people in alot of things for answers and ability to teach well. I'm no expert I'm no genius teaching reality brings life and stability and I got a bit of sense.com.
Had a guy way back say we are trying to mold men like in the days of old. Well I didn't agree and still don't. Paul, John, etc had the same God same Spirit just in a different time frame and culture. To try to be them as in their traditions well ?? go ahead?? any point?? not really/?
We have different issues and we are in a different culture. So what is the common sense idea to reach?? Seek God in the things today and idea's for salvation men have and are doing that why change it/? Satan doesn't fear tradition he will whoop us in that. He fears people in a connection with life. We can't have a Paul of today or a Peter. We can carry the anointing they had and bring life to people like they did.
It's dangerous to try to force character traits on people. Reason alot walk away, they can't because you are giving them impossible morals apart from Christ. Jesus is interested in Spirit filled vessels not nutty religious rule givers. People need a Holy Spirit charge and conscience to be good not a pushy boss.
I'm guilty following others in their insanity but now and alot seeking the Lord and knowing His truth I see now it's about Him and not me.
He is big enough to change mold and bring life to people without me beating people with do this and do that. Receive Him and live in the Life giving Spirit of Christ. That's salvation and faith with power (((ability to be))).

Oswald Chambers: Never worry about whether what you say sounds humble before others or not. But always be humble before God, allow Him to be your all in all.
Oswald Chambers: The consequences resulting from our surrender will never even enter our mind, because our life will be totally consumed with Him.
You know I believe in respecting people and I believe in humility the Lord has taught me that.
I may be wrong or right I'll let you decide, but when there are a bunch of evil chumps using good for evil or just being evil for fun. I can't find humility I searched lol it's not there lol.
I find it so easy to go in the presence of my Lord and be totally humble to His Spirit and voice in.
Reason?? I know that He loves me and I know His intentions are right. I know Jesus taught love your enemy's. Love and bowing to them are two totally different things.
I only bow to the Lord I only submit to the Lord. And you women out there, do the same respect and love your Husbands you are not called to submit. That's really old teaching seek the Lord for that today.
I mean people today are using people's faith to use abuse and humiliate. So here's a reality check nutty chumps that enjoy attacking just good ol people. We have free will yes we do, and I've learned a important truth my whole extra mile thing is for love and respect for you not me the Lord or anyone but for you nut. I get the fullness of Christ extra mile or none.
So please stop using good people and treating them like crap. Good people deserve respect just like the evil nuts with no conscience. Simple as this treat others like you want to be treated. I've had someone humiliate me mock me withheld their hand from helping me in hate. But when they had an impossible need for help.
I done the right thing and helped. Charles treats others how he wants to be treated, even when it hurts. That's the Character of the Lord of all, not an fake Mr. Roger man with peace in his words war in his heart. So hate Charles, Love Charles, reject or accept Charles, either way I have been accepted by a forever acceptance in Jesus Christ. That's something no one can take away from me, and that's something you can have if you open your heart to Him. It's that simple.

Romans 1:20 For since the creation of the world God's (((invisible))) qualities His eternal power and divine nature have been clearly seen,being understood from what has been made. so men are without excuse.
Oswald Chambers: No natural love, no natural patience, no natural purity can never come up to His demands. But as we bring every part of our natural bodily life into harmony with the new life God has placed within us, We ((will)) exhibit in us the virtues that were characteristic of the Lord Jesus Christ.
How can I prove God to un believers? How can I show them the need for Christ. There is an evil in this life and the only cure for it is the Lord Jesus. You can dope people up, say it's this and that or that this, but reality is they are sick under the slavery of sin with guilt and shame.
People go so far to say God doesn't exist. Why do they even care?? Think about it?? We are all given a conscience right?? Born with a conscience emotion knowing right from wrong.
Your conscience is evidence of God in itself.
Alot of people prove God through nature, and also through the Bible facts that has happened.
For me the evidence of God is in His Spirit. And one can't have that surety claiming grace you don't understand. So if you won't evidence of the God of All: Pray This Prayer:
Lord Jesus I'm a Sinner I Believe you died on the Cross for my sins and I believe you rose on the third day. Lord Jesus reveal yourself to me in Spirit show me your real. Lord Jesus come into my heart and change me Lord.
In Jesus Name I pray Amen.
Oswald Chambers: Many people today are pouring their lives out working for Jesus Christ, but are not really walking with Him. One thing God constantly requires if us is a oneness with Jesus Christ.
Oswald Chambers: Never rely on the clearness of your presentation, but give your explanation make sure that you are relying on the Holy Spirit. Rely on the certainty of God's redemptive power, and He will create His own life in people.
Once you are ((rooted in reality)), nothing can shake you. If your faith is experiences, anything that happens is likely to upset your faith. But nothing can change God or the reality of redemption. Base your faith on that, and you are eternally secure in God Himself.
Man I love this guy lol. I had an idea last night and thought of some verses and such to back me up and well with me I searched some Oswald and bam got the nail on the head there lol. So what matters in my walk with the Lord?? People's approval?? saying I'm of God?? a label??? acting like someone other than who I am>??
None of the above you don't need a man's testimony to say your of the Lord or not. Searching for that you'll get your feeling hurt a lot and never have confidence in the Lord. The fact is others of the Lord will discern you are of the Lord and they will respect you, I do for other believers the Lord testify's for them through the Spirit of Grace.
You can't find root in opinion's or acceptance of men and women, that is a hindrance in most people's faith. I believe in fellowship and I love people, but reality is I don't need your approval in my walk with Christ, if He testify's for me it's a done deal. To find my faith in the opinion of others I'll never know the Lord personally that search for opinion is my god.
I can't stand stumbling blocks for people totally consumed in His Love to be transformed and renewed daily in that. I will think and pray and I will shut the mouths of you stumbling blocks who hinder God's Love in people's lives. So love hindering person with issue's here's your knock out punch. A list of what matters and what doesn't in my salvation and walk with the Lord.
Matters: Prayer, staying in His presence, asking other Spiritual Believers for prayer, studying of His truths.
Being a offering to His people daily in His Spirit.
Having a conscience in the Holy Spirit, and being real to the one's around me to prove I'm full of Grace and not crap.
Doesn't Matter: How you serve as long as you serve.
Popularity contest, tradition, labels, men's approval and testimony of or not of the Lord. im better than you.com, claiming everything but the presence of the Lord, being a dry withered hindering spirit to men and women to the Love of Christ.
Personal Relationship means one on one, so find that for yourself. I am the man I am today, because I shut my ears to ((everyone)) and learned in His presence.
I said I'm not going to be some confused religious nut, cramps my personality.
So I went to my salvation, my hope and my Lord for truth and I learned from Him. Do that <<<<<<< ((Know your Lord)) The only way anyone can get on the same page if this happens reguardless of tradition or belief's that is pointless without knowing the Lord.
It's that simple and it has never changed and never will know your Lord ((personally))

Oswald Chambers: Paul there was only one thing he lived for-persauding people of the coming judgments of God and tell them of the Love of Christ.This total surrender to the "Love Of Christ" is the only thing that can bear fruit in your life. And it will always leave a mark of God's holiness and His power, ((never)) drawing attention to your personal holiness.
Am I a show case for man? Am I an object of what is right in this life? Am I what will draw men to the Love of the Lord?? And will God judge me on my personal holiness vs His salvation plan?? That is a ? many don't seem to get.
The answer is this and it ends here in a simple simple teaching. All of that is un nessary when it comes to others salvation. When I beat myself up to men instead of God what have I done?? I've allowed men to be my god and allowed them to mold my conscience instead of the Lord.
I don't believe in nit picking and I don't believe in targeting people and I sure don't believe in a lot of mess people say these days. It's as simple as this God's salvation plan Vs my own salvation plan or no plan at all. Between the three one will only grant you everlasting life, your choice not mine Jimmy's Sue or Jim Bob. You can blame the world but it comes down to your choice.
Let's do what I call a mirror letting you see yourself in it to see your error.
God's salvation plan: To repent of your sins Believe that Jesus died and rose again on the third day invite Him ((daily)) into your life by the power of His Spirit, to clean us and give us a conscience in Him, not men.
Your salvation plan: creating a god Jesus in your own mind assuming your so called righteousness and your goodness impress's the Lord. Being arrogant apart from Christ and making up insane rules as you go. Religion without power defined.
rejecting salvation: you don't believe and you reject the Lord of all and you make claims on your conscience of right and wrong in this life.
you've taken the heart of the enemy your own god type deal.
It's that simple its that simple. I could go on for days about this subject but the only thing that matters if for you to see the ((difference)) and ((find)) confidence in the Lord apart from men and tradition. Jesus truly needs hard nosed hard headed un movable watchmen that make the Gospel of Life so simple it's non debatable.
God has laid that on my heart really really hard.
The Lord is not interested in know it all's, He is not interested in predictions and wonders. He is interested in showing a hurting world His love is real and He is ready to Love any soul that is willing to just ((open)) that hard hurting heart to Him day in and day out. That's who I am that man who takes that love to keep warm and not turn cold. I don't need people to tell me who I am, His un failing love makes me who I am.
Enough with the lame retarded makes no darn sense at all excuses of (((nut.comist))) it's time to take that Love Jesus gives us so freely not one time a weeek not once on Monday or Sunday but ((daily)) walk in that Love and let your salvation seem real to these hurting people.
Without Him Charles is hurt and broken? you?? are you arrogant enough to say your not?
I'm not Charles is hurt and a broken man without that Love that fills the void satan steals from me. Get real with yourself and God and stop playing everyone for a fool and see your need for Him, get off the high horse. And stop living an excuse of (((((false grace))))) and walk in real Grace in the Love of Jesus Christ.

Acts 2:17 In the last days, God says. I will pour my Spirit out on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.
18 Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour my Spirit out on those days and they will prophesy. 19 I will show wonders in heaven above and signs of earth below.
Well just read a forum on prayer taken away from the mouths of kids and teens even the word prayer. There is no need to panic or get nutty or even mad. This a time of joy and rejoicing satan's final desperation in hindering the Lord's salvation for mankind.
I've had oppression all my life since day one the Lord anointed me. It's a fact people are driven by a demonic force that hates you in Christ. When these hindrances come about means one thing you have struck fear in your enemies and as cowards they are go for the low blow.
They can take prayers in public away with my mouth, but never my heart or head. I can and have prayed in my head 24/7<<<Charles's secret place.lol I posted a comment on that forum and said in confidence in hindrances God gets bigger. For about 6 years now the Lord has taught me things I never thought I could understand, shows how teachable an open heart is so believer open your heart please.
If the church is shut up completely as in the days of Rome, etc., cant shut us up just the way it goes. As Americans we have rights know them and use them never cut yourself short. People that hate believers are driven by satan end of story, think about it satan is the author of hate.
God is the author of Love.
So kids and teens can't say prayer of pray in school:( its sad, what I don't get why is a prayer offensive lol I know lol but it's total non sense. It's like some brat giving you a hard time to get their way even bullying lol. 9 times out of 10 you get that from all un believers.
It's as simple as the verdict in John 3. Men hate the light ((Spirit)) fear that their deeds will be exposed, meaning when the Spirit of God touches a conscience it shows us how awful we are. And that's why people run from God, its that darn simple. I am my own god, don't you dare tell me I'm wrong lol.
In a chat last night someone said some think they are holier than thou lol. I get sooo tickled at those statements:) I said the Holy Spirit gives a believer a new conscience of right and wrong so receive the Spirit guilt filled un holy one.
Without that Spiritual recharge we can never ever reach a point of standing for God, and we not abiding in Him is the biggest hindrance of all. So to fix a problem go the the source pray for ((all)) the Christian leaders of this country to defend the voice of Christ to this hurting dying world. The world needs Jesus its that simple so abide in Him and even when shut up, they can't help but to see His glory in your life:)

Revelation 2:2 I know you cannot tolerate wicked men, that you have tested those who claim to be apostles but are not, and found them false.
Revelation 2:4 Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken your first love. Remember the height from which you have fallen!!!! Repent and do the things you did at first. If you you do not repent I will come to you and remove the lampstand from it's place.
Testing men and women apart from Christ with insane methods are just total nonsense. I read these verses about the first two years seeking the Lord seriously and they have stuck with me for the 6 years in the Lord. Jesus said you can't put up with those wicked cons those dudes and women who chase your pocket instead of your heart.
I've had people harass me testing me I guess I would fail on purpose whatever they where doing just to prove a point, testing me apart from God your the evil one not me. Say I didn't like something John Hagge said and I go harass him to disprove him lol. Who is in the wrong here?? me or Hagge. ((((ME)))) Because I have taken it in my hands instead of the Lords given a man a hard time and wasting my and his time.
So what in the heck do I do?? hmmmm ? of the day you may say hmmmm I wonder. Don't want to be ripped off and I don't want to be lead wrong and it's good to be in good connect with Christ so hmmmm.
Jesus said it in a nut shell, (((return))) to your first love I the Lord not man.
Think about it long and hard. When a man is abiding in the Lord, what do you get from his message, song, or whatever he is doing?? You get your first love, its that darn simple. When he is not you get the man a dry word that leaves you sleeping or annoyed or even ticked off<<<lve been there lol. Without the Spirit in a service, devotion, sermon, it tends to be boring, annoying, or just plain out man your point??
Return to your first love the Lord Jesus. To focus on men apart from Him you'll be beat up and full of doubt in your faith. I stand on my own faith in Christ not others<<< apply that. The Lord wants people focused on Him and His salvation plans for man, not in the conduct of men, Focus on Jesus not men.
