Exposing the Corrupt Music Industry

I came across this interesting believer online. His name is Lennon Honor. This father, director, musician, radio talk show host, and more has created some very popular documentaries exposing some of the dark symbolism in the music industry. Check out his videos on YouTube or his website.

They Left Me Alone

No one knows me.
Everything about me is unusual, different, crazy, and strange.
For they don't know my Father, nor do they know his Son.
I am one with My Father.
I was created from a rib, his daughter,
yet they don't know.

Mindful of demons
Mindless of their Saviour.
He never died. He still survives
within.

And they don't know how to receive.
They live of this world.

How did I get here,
in love with an unseen God?
To know myself, to think for myself.
He used them for a season.
A little salt and then their flavour was lost.

I outgrew those who laid hands on me.
I outgrew those who raised me.
I outgrew those who I laughed and played with.

Sometimes it is hard.
The tears fall and I hurt inside.
They were an illusion--those folks from the past.
They preached and pleaded for me to walk this walk.

So now I am, but where are they?
Look at me, I am a daughter!
They look away.
They rather call me crazy, a babe.
He's with me when no one else is...
He's with me.

Are You Really Praying to the One True God or a god?

Have you ever heard of the sun god Amun-Ra? Interesting that for centuries Christians attend church on a "Sun"day and many don't have a clue as to who Amun-Ra is. Even more interesting, the name is close to Amen (used when closing our prayers.) Hmm. A website reports that sometimes this god Amun-Ra is referred to as Amen--what!? We can't have anything without the devil putting his two cents worth!

What if the prayers we pray aren't going to the right God? What if something was intercepting those prayers? No wonder so many prayers don't get answered--just might be praying to the wrong god. Something to think about. Consider doing two things: spending time in God's word and praying in Jesus name if you are a new believer.

Visit these sites:

This provides a clear understanding of the prayer of Jesus:

Sometimes We Aren't Always Feeling Our Best

If you are real with yourself and others, you know that walking any walk with a Higher Power is not going to be easy. In my life I choose the God of the Bible -- the one who can only be reached through acceptance of his Son Jesus Christ.

Lately, there has been a shedding away of myself like an animal shedding its coat. So many things within me and around me are being stripped away slowly but surely. You think you are okay when you have stopped partying, sleeping around, cussing or doing the obvious things that any minister would be quick to tell you to stop doing. However, those things don't even scrape the surface of what is ahead! There are the songs you listen to, the company you keep, the things you watch on television, the Internet sites you visit, and the collectibles you have been holding on to since you were old enough to read that God calls into question.

When walking with God no stone is left unturned -- no stone! I am not comfortable where I stand with God as I write and neither should you! We are works in progress which means we will never come to a place where we can say, "I have mastered everything and therefore I am righteous!" Just when you start thinking that way, God allows the enemy to come and whisper a few things in your ear while giving you tests. Some of these trials you will pass while others you won't. Whenever you are in the presence of another human being you are automatically being tested. Even though you may not say one offensive word, at some point, you will think something offensive. That's life, my friend!  Stay blessed!

Why is there Suffering? A Mystery

One of many mysteries of the world comes in the form of a question. Why is there suffering in the world? Why does it seem the devil wins?

We shall find out answers about suffering and more when God takes over the world again. But for now, we can speculate all we want about why bad things happen to good people. No one truly knows nor understands why God allows suffering to happen. Some scholars reason its because God is "testing us, molding, shaping us into better people." Others say we wouldn't appreciate the good in the world without experiencing some bad. The reasons go on and on and for some people they provide no peace. What we know for certain is that judgment is coming. We know not the day or hour, but the Prince of Peace is coming again.
