Philippians 4:19 says
that “But MY GOD shall supply all my needs according to His riches
in glory through Christ Jesus.” Now I don’t know about you, but
that’s a pretty serious promise to stand on. Have you tried it?
Most people have a wish
list that God is to fulfill, but he didn’t say he would supply our
lusts and desires. He said our needs would be met. Perhaps as the boys
of
Wall St
and the economic centers around the world are reassessing their
financial health and world domination, it is time for us, the church,
to re-evaluate our overall status with God.
Let us remember the words of James 4:3 “You have not because you ask
amiss; that you may consume it upon your lusts.” Amiss is praying
things that are considered grievous in the eyes of God. We are to look
to God for those things that are needed, not things we want out of
greed.
God has proven time and time again to me personally, and through the
work of this ministry,that when there is a need, God has always
supplied it. We thank Him for being Jehovah Jireh, the Lord our
Provider.
Sometimes what we need is not finances, but it is the witty ideas or
vision of what to do wisely with what we have. Other times it is to
receive the peace of God so that we do not have anxiety and fears over
what we cannot control. All of these and more are providing our needs.
God owns all things and supplies all things, let us reassess our needs
and by making sure that we are in right standing with the Lord.
The Holy Spirit has confirmed many times that there will be severe
challenges in the days and months ahead. It is a time when the hearts
of man may fail him if he is not rooted and grounded in the knowledge
of the Lord, trusting Him for all things.
Will you be able to stand in the days ahead, knowing that you have
nothing to fear, but will have as you do now—power, love, and a
sound mind—being transformed into the mind of Christ [Romans 12:1-2]
and that we will be able to stand.
I pray your strength and empowerment because and through Christ Jesus.

October 24th
Bishop Susan was the guest on Living In Black And White, live on-line
program. You can hear the audio by either going to our website www.mudministries.org
or www.livinginblackandwhite.ning.com
and clicking on-demand.
She addressed the book that Scholastic Book Club has suggested for
school youth to read entitled “Conversations With God”. Some of
you may member it from about 1993, and there has been a movie made of
it. Why is it a dangerous book for people to read?
It is totally New Age based on eastern mysticism. Because Bishop Susan
had participated in that movement years ago, the language of the book
put up red flags. In the book the “god” that dictates the messages
of three books to Mr. Neale Donald Walsh is none other than a demon
posing as the God of the Bible.
The god of this book states that the Bible is not worth reading, that
we should not hold the Word of God to be the principle thing of life,
but in fact it is our experiences that are what we should hold closest
to us.
It goes further to state that there is no such thing as judgment and
no sin. That god literally was/is an energy of higher nature which
released us into creation so that he could experience himself through
us. That Adam and Eve were chased from the garden because he chose
that to happen.
One of the most disturbing facts of no sin and we live through our
experiences is the teaching of this god, that there is no such thing
as death; that we are on a course of incarnation. What you don’t
learn in this lifetime, you will continue to develop through many
lifetimes. Once you get the basics down, then you will live several
more lifetimes to understand love.
Now all of this is head-on in a collision course with the Holy Bible
and the God of the creation and who desires to have communication with
us, who loves us and we have choice in this lifetime.
Some of these same philosophies are entering into the mainstream
Christian body of Christ. To help eliminate some of the confusion,
Bishop Susan is completing a small book which will be available
through our website within the next month. Look for a special email
announcement. It is a must read for every believer.
