The Real 2020s

Wow! My Brothers and Sisters, what a kick-off or should I say “a kick in the pants” this decade hurled us. Nearly three years in, terrorizing and mutating virus storms prove this battle lingers on. That menace glares as one of many matters spewing out in the real 2020s, notably a decade of reckoning – in several arenas of life ! Allow me to name a few things, and by the grace of God we will tackle these imps in the name of Jesus. Church, let’s save our generation and generations to come. Young people are dying from one encounter with intake of illicit/street drugs trying to escape from or to. Young people dying from or being handicapped by cancers and conditions organic, imposed and exposed to from mankind’s ignorance as well as spiritual breaches in the hedge of protection. (This is more than this space can work out.) How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. Church let’s get after it.

Believers, the 2020s need us, the righteousness of God through Jesus the Anointed One, to be bold as a lion. Rise up Church! Listen Beloved, God has not given us a spirit of fear – note fear comes, attaches as a spirit. That spirit derives from sin, sin introduced by none other than the devil, Satan. That devil goes about as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. Saints, Jesus gave us power over all the power of the enemy. We have the spirit of love, power and a sound mind. Claim, proclaim, declare it in Jesus name. That’s how we war. We see the power of the wicked one but we, Believers – with the Greater One on the inside, fired up in Jesus declare war on the works of devil – the gates of Hell shall not prevail. Let’s take back, reclaim… 2023 (fyi)– we got the mandate from our pastor for Trinity Missionary Baptist Church here in Hawaii to Reset, Reclaim and Rise. Wherever God has strategically planted you… you are equipped in the name of Jesus. Ask God in the words of Gloria Copeland,” God take my life and do something with it.” This Woman of God preached decades of messages telling you and me to be healed, it is God’s will for us to be healed. If you find your faith wavering, go on the world wide web and get that Word from Mrs. Copeland. Also, Pastor Bill Winston gives faith building Words according to the Bible. Okay, let me get off this soap box – and get to the thing I want to address.

Get ready, it’s time to level and confront somethings. No more paralytic Christians, each one of us can do something. Parents, join the school boards and the councils that are making decisions on the curricula taught to (y)our child(ren). Stop chasing money, God supplies all our need according to His riches in glory. Get in there, from kindergarten the powers that be are polluting the minds of our children. Born-again Believers, speak out, pray, write – email, text, blog, vlog and expose the works of the devil. Contact the producers, the TV networks – when I watch a police show, I look for the criminals to be apprehended – I do not look for sexual escapades and lust triangles. I do not want to the same-sex agendas to be pushed on me… I simply want a good plot and how the writers construct ways to solve the crime. Oh Lord, then the commercials… many can really get my blood boiling – mainly, the pharmaceutical ones. Listen, my heart hurts when that HIV commercial airs… and this imp wears the bullseye. The commercial promotes same-sex relations that continue, perpetuate ungodly behaviors, do not stop what you are doing, they provide medication to prevent the spread of HIV. Lies, lies and more lies. Come on people – wake up. Be healed, be delivered, be set free from the snares of the wicked one. God is love. He wants to make each of us in every way whole. Readers, I do not know about you, but I believe in miracles. God works miracles if you let Him. Not only, will God work a miracle in your life – He uses godly agents – angels and mankind. Guess what, miracles are for everybody, the just as well as the unjust. God loves all mankind. In Corinthians chapter 12, we are to desire the spiritual gifts. (If you want to know one or two, well…) Anyway, in the gifts of the spirit you will find the working of miracles. It’s a wonderful thing! Desire the spiritual gifts – let’s put the Real in the 2020s. The righteous are bold as a lion. Woot! Woot!

There is life and death even in the power of our tongues. Watch what we say, although I said, the commercials cause my heart to hurt, that wanes momentary and acts as a fan – for the fire of sweet Holy Spirit a flame and – I do something. I use the gifts of the spirit, faith and pray/speak in tongues. When needed, I speak and watch God perform miracles. Do not let that devil tear up your town with tornados, blizzards – etc. the devil might be the (at this time) the prince of the power of the air but, we have power over that mangled-minded devil. No more fear. Speak the Word in power and the anointing. The devil will not get away with his diabolical methods. Believers, prayer holds critically essential – ask God to “teach me how to pray.” And, pray. Pray anyway, do not wait until you get it all right, avail ourselves to prayer and Holy Spirit will provide the groanings that cannot be uttered. He helps us when we posture in prayer. Lord, have mercy – we got to pray right, but more than that – we got to pray! Oh, boy that’s another talk about… at another time.

The Real 2020s – Saints, no more being bamboozled by the foolishness of talking heads,

nor the wiles of the devil. No more fear… it’s time to make disciples of Jesus Christ, heal

the sick and raise the dead. Do not go along to get along. Preach, teach, and live out the

Truth by the power vested within you. You can speak Life, watch your words – change

your word – or zip your lips. Remember temperance, self-control produces one fruit of

the Spirit. We have what we say – we want to watch our Words. Let our Words be

seasoned with grace. The Real 2020s gives rise to the Real Christians. Woot! Woot!
