   The Real JESUS (Matthew 24:31-46)   Who Are You Following: The Real Jesus or the Religious Jesus? Are you following the real Jesus or the religious Jesus? The biblical Jesus or the whitewashed Jesus often presented in Hollywood and the movies? The real Jesus is not who you think he was. The real Jesus came from a blended family everyone didn’t have the same father in Jesus’ household, and they weren’t all full-blood brothers and sisters. They were a blended family. If Jesus were around today, he might have been on Maury Povich to discover who the father was because Joseph wasn’t the biological father. The real Jesus had anger issues. He came to the temple and threw people out, turned over tables, and cleared out the church. Today, we would have called the police and had him locked up or committed to an insane asylum. The real Jesus needed therapy. In modern times, his friends and family might have taken up a collection because he didn’t have insurance. He was burie...

  There Is No Such Thing as Death (John 11:26) “So, I always strive to do right by God and people.” Acts 24:16 KSB The transition from abundant life here on earth to eternal life and life everlasting. There is no such thing as death; there are only higher and higher forms of life. Since there is no death, we don’t say people die; instead, we say they transition. They have transitioned from abundant life to eternal life. Jesus said, “I have come that you might have life and that more abundantly.” People don’t pass away. You might say, “My loved one passed away,” but they never indeed pass away because they remain in your mind. They will never pass away because they are still in your heart. Their names are still on your lips. We speak their names, and they are alive as long as you think about them. As long as you feel and remember them, they are still alive. As long as you speak their name and talk about them, they are still alive. We often say, “Oh, I lost my loved one.” You did...

  A Christmas Tree is Not Idolatry (I Corinthians 10:14) Idolatry is still happening today, but it looks different from biblical times. In the Old Testament, people built golden calves, erected idols, and dedicated temples to various gods. While idolatry today might not involve physical statues, it is still present in 2024. Israel was unique in that it was monotheistic; it worshipped one God, Jehovah, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The nations surrounding Israel were polytheistic, worshipping false gods and idols. Israel was called to be holy, set apart, and different because of their commitment to the one true God, the Creator of the entire universe. Standing out and being different is never easy, especially when everyone around you is doing something else. It takes courage to stand on your principles and practices, particularly when others don’t believe in or follow them. “Wherefore, my dearly beloved, run from idolatry.” 1 Corinthians 10: 14 KSB  However, there...

 - You Give Me Fever (Luke 4:38-39)  We were blessed with divine intelligence at the time of our creation. Our bodies are designed with defense mechanisms against infections, viruses, and diseases. Frequently, when the body is battling an unwelcome foreign element, you will be aware that warfare is taking place because you will be experiencing a fever. The fever was brought on by something. What's the reason behind your fever? What's keeping your health from being at its best?  What's keeping your relationships from working well together? Are medications preventing your wealth from overflowing? What's causing your fever? Is alcohol the cause of your fever? Is smoking the cause of your fever? What's causing your fever, sexual activity, pornography, or both? What aspect of your life is out of control, gambling-wise? Who is the source of your fever? Are you infatuated with someone? Are you addicted to a drug or behavior that prevents you from living life to the fullest...

  What About Your Friends (John 15:23) Friendship makes the difference. To have more in 2024 this year, you need to have friends. You need to have more friends. You need to have friends to have more money, opportunities, resources, and excellence. The most excellent demonstration of love is laying down your life for your friends. It is time for you to call your friends, send them a text message, a DM, an IM, tweet them, send them a message today, and let them know how much you love them and appreciate them.  It is time to lay down the foolishness, pick up that phone, and call your friends. No matter how much space has been between the two of you, call your friend and contact them today. No matter how long time passes, get in touch with your friends. The friendship is more significant than what you all are fussing about. The friendship is more important than their human frailties, and the things they did that were not right. We are all working on ourselves and have things w...

  I AM Open and Receptive to Divine, Unlimited Ideas (Mark 7:31-37) “To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: These are the words of him who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open (Revelation 3:7).” KSB  When you were born, you entered this world open. You came into the earth through an open womb; you squinted and opened your eyes, and you opened your mouth to be fed and to cry. You began life open. But something happened along the way, a trauma, drama, or some painful experience that caused you to close yourself off. Now, you are on a journey to open up again. The same way something caused you to close, something can happen to help you open. I am on a journey to open, you are on a journey to open; we are on a journey to open, to open our minds to divine, unlimited ideas; to open our hearts to love; to open our eyes to see God and goodness in every person, place, and thing; to open our ears to...
