Mormons are NOT Christians
Revelation 22:18,19 “For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.”
Not sure how Christians are saying not to vote for Obama and to vote for Romney on religious grounds. I have been doing a lot of reading on the Mormons and well it sounds like a cult to me. They surely are not Christians according to the bible. The final verses of revelations bare out that “the Book of Mormon” is false prophesy. So would you rather have a Christian who is in error on same-sex marriage or a person who is a non-Christian and follows a false prophet?
Joseph Smith the founder of the Mormons made many such false prophesies and not a single one came true. Smith said that Jesus would return in 56 years, which would have been in the year 1891. This is according to History of the Church, vol. 2, p. 189. The next false prophesy is that the temple is supposed to be rebuilt in Missouri and not in the Holy City Jerusalem.
THIS IS A DIRECT QUOTE from Book of Mormon, Doctrines and Covenants 84:2-5,31"Yea, the word of the Lord concerning his church, established in the last days for the restoration of his people, as he has spoken by the mouth of his prophets, and for the gathering of his saints to stand upon Mount Zion,i which shall be the city of New Jerusalem. 3 Which city shall be built, beginning at the temple lot, which is appointed by the finger of the Lord, in the western boundaries of the State of Missouri, and dedicated by the hand of Joseph Smith, Jun., and others with whom the Lord was well pleased. 4 Verily this is the word of the Lord, “
Smith had a lot of other strange prophesies that go against the bible most of which never came true or can not be proven by history or even science. "God himself was once as we are now, and is an exalted man, and sits enthroned in yonder heavens!!! We have imagined that God was God from all eternity. I will refute that idea and take away the veil, so that you may see," (Teachings of Joseph Smith, p. 345). He even teaches that Jesus and Lucifer were brothers and Jesus was not born of a virgin but that it was through an actual sexual relationship and God has a wife. Jesus in the bible Matthew 22:30 clearly states that there is no marriage in heaven.
I have not even touched on the Mormons doctrine of polygamy and long history of pedophilia. Or their lack of respect for women. Women are still sold to the highest bidder and are still made to go alone with arranged marriages. Some girls are forced to marry as young as 14 years old. Women are clearly second class citizens. Finally they have a baptism to the dead which is strictly forbidden in the bible. We are not supposed to have any kind of worship of the dead. Finally, Smith was murdered by an angry mob while in jail awaiting trial for sleeping with other men's wives. He was also running for President of the United States at the time. The rumor at the time was that Smith intended to turn the United States into a theocratic kingdom with Smith as the king. Sounds like the prophesy of Revelations 22:19 the bible came true in the life of Smith.
I just do not think it is valid to vote against Obama because of his stance on same-sex marriage when the values and doctrines of Mormons are very twisted and are not in the least Christian. Just because you use the name Jesus does not mean you know Jesus or follow him. The Klu Klux Klan also claims Jesus too and that they have Christian values. So if you are voting Christian family values you may want to reconsider voting for Romney. He is not a Christian.

Sermon Notes September 30, 2012
Is not this the carpenter's son? is not
his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and
Simon, and Judas? And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence
then hath this man all these things? Matthew 13:55,56
Behold, I will do a new thing; now it
shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in
the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. Isaiah 43:19
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he
is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are
become new. 2 Corinthians 5:17
Brethren, I count not myself to have
apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which
are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,I
press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in
Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:13,14
And they overcame him by the blood of
the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not
their lives unto the death. Revelation 12:11
- The enemy will always use your past to make you think you are not good enough for your future.
- The enemy will use those closest to you to bring up your past. Friends and family.
- Always think on the vision and plan God gave you for the future, not on what happened in the past.
- You must embrace change and the newness you have in Christ.
- You can not walk in new life living your old life.
- Change your ways (repent) and do not apologize for who you have become.
- You owe nothing to anyone in your past but to love them. Romans 13:8
- The only reason to bring up the past is as a testimony to bring people into the body of Christ and to show how the power of Jesus Christ changed your life.
- Do not dwell in the past.
I pray this teaching will bless you. I
pray that if your past is a problem that you meditate in these
scriptures. Your past does not determine your future and it does not
matter what the world says, it matters what God says. Do not be
deceived by what you were, be encouraged by what God intends for you
to be.
I love you, God bless You!

4R's Press Release
4R's is birthed out of a
single question Apostle Powell presented to God: why are Christians
not being healed, delivered, and set free from sin, and other forms
of affliction? Through his experience, as a street pastor in a
ministry that served the poor and homeless , Apostle Powell found
that the supernatural manifestation of God is absent from most
churches. Through prayer, fasting, and experience, God answered his
question through revelation. 4R's will bless all that read it,
whether they be a non-Christian, new Christian, or an experienced
Christian. The 4R's Revival, Repentance, Relationship and Restoration
are principles that can and will improve your life. The 4R's are
beneficial in all aspects of life. The 4R's is based on the Holy
Bible and principles of the Kingdom of Heaven.
With the gifts and power
that God has given us in the church, there is no reason that we
should be in lack or want. Effective ministry should change people
and circumstances. We should not keep going through the same church
as usual and coming up with less than kingdom like results. God is a
supernatural God full of miracles signs and wonders and those
miracles signs and wonders should manifest in our lives.
Apostle Powell is a firm
believer in the Grace of Jesus Christ as the foundation of our
beliefs as Christians. "we are all sinners saved by grace, that
is the gospel." Apostle Powell was called into the ministry in
1994 after a supernatural encounter with God. "I knew it was God
speaking, I still didn't know what to do, so I ran from my calling.
It took me years to finally accept the fact that God would use a
wretched sinner like me to serve Him."
Apostle Powell is
originally from Detroit, Michigan and has been in ministry since
1995. He is the Executive Director of United Urban Ministries, Inc. A
501c3 non-profit that facilitates services for the homeless. He is
pastor of Judson Powell Ministries a non-denominational ministry
teaching salvation, deliverance and healing through the Holy Ghost
and the grace of Jesus Christ. He is a graduate of Hampton University
and the University of the District of Columbia, David A. Clarke
School of Law. He is currently a candidate for a doctorate in
ministry. Apostle Powell, worked as a gospel radio announcer and
program director for 6 years after a 21 year career in secular radio
and television. "I listened to gospel music and ministry
programs 10 to 14 hours a day. It is difficult to hear the gospel
that much and not have it touch your soul."
Apostle Judson Powell is
available for evangelism for your congregation or church conference.

Sermon Notes September 23, 2012: Treat People Right
“Let no corrupt
communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to
the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.”
Ephesians 4:29
“Rebuke not an elder,
but intreat him as a father; and the younger men as brethren; The
elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity.” 1
Timothy 5:1,2
“Let the elders that
rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who
labor in the word and doctrine. For the scripture saith, thou shalt
not muzzle the ox that treads out the corn. And, The laborer is
worthy of his reward.” 1 Timothy 5:17,18
“There is neither Jew
nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor
female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.” Galatians 3:28
“But the fruit of the
Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness,
faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.”
Galatians 5:22,23
- We have allowed kindness, meekness and love to leave our society.
- Reality TV is not reality.
- Watch your mouth and speak life to others, it will bring life to you.
- Do on to others as you would have them do unto you.
- Treat people in leadership and elders with respect.
- Be race, creed and color blind, see people as God's children.
- See people as either in Christ or not, and even if they are not treat them with love and respect.
- Display the fruit of the spirit at all times. It should be your way of life.
- Walk in LOVE.
I pray this will bless you
and edify your life in some way. I pray grace and the manifest
blessings of our Lord upon you in Jesus name. Amen
I Love You! Apostle Judson

Obama Wins? Writing on the Wall!
The presidential election
is almost over. The only thing that remains is for everyone to go to
the polls and vote for Barack Obama. Mitt Romney has managed to place
his foot in his mouth again. I really do not think he gets it. Saying
that you are a rich kid, born with a silver spoon in your mouth and
that half of the country feels entitled to and is dependent
government programs. Then to say that if he would have been born in
Mexico he would win the election. Then to say all of this in front of
a room full of rich folks in private and get caught doing it and
having the nerve to stand by what he said. Like my baby daughter
would say; oh my God!
Mr. Romney, this is the
information and technology age. People have phones and cameras every
where. It is rare that you can say or do anything and not be
overheard or video taped. This is like a thief that robs the corner
store on video tape. Weren't you smart enough to know somebody would
see you and turn you in? Wisdom is known of her children, and that
was not wise. Mitt, can I call you Mitt? Wants to run the entire
country and be the leader of the free world but you keep making big
mistakes. Let's see you insult the host country of the Olympics, you
make remarks insulting Muslim countries, you flip flop on your health
care plan, and now this. Even a fool that keeps his mouth shut is
considered wise.
I do not even like
politics, but this latest debacle is utterly ridiculous. How is it
possible that you would insult the very people you want to lead?
Where is your compassion and love for the people? At the end of the
day running for political office is a popularity contest. Talking
about the people you want to elect you is not very smart. Mr. Romney
is not even popular among his own party. During the Republican
convention the last two Republican presidents and vice-presidents
didn't even show up to their own convention. The old saying goes,
“you look conspicuous by your absence.” The convention looked
like an old boys club meeting with rich folks holding million dollar
parties on yachts, while the rest of the country is struggling trying
to find its next meal or tank of gas. It is clear that everybody is
not struggling.
Stop with the I pulled
myself up by the bootstraps lies, when you never struggled a day in
your life. You are trying to portray yourself as one of the common
folk, but you are far from that reality. You have no empathy for the
people. You refuse to release your tax returns and documentation from
your past does not add up. What else are you trying to hide? If you
are lying about all of that, then what else will you lie to the
American people about? Just be honest, and say I'm a rich kid and
want to be president and help rich folk get richer. You parade your
wife in front of the country in a red dress to say “I love you
women” but want to take women back to the dark ages where they have
no rights at all. Your healthcare proposal will also take seniors and
others back to having little or no health care and really will not
stop the breach in spending on healthcare. So who are you for? Are
the American people the 2 percent that are rich or the 98 percent
that are not. Who will you fight for and represent?
The rich folks sold the
country out and now want to blame the poor and middle class. The very
people that Romney put down are in that situation because corporate
CEO's, like him, outsourced our jobs and moved their businesses out
of the country. Now they want to run on a platform of jobs and fixing
the broken economy which they broke in the first place. Then, they
want to do it with the same trickle down economic theory that has
never worked in the past. If it failed in the past, it is a good
chance it will fail in the future. It is all a lie to say the people
are dependent on entitlements when most of the welfare in this
country has been given to the RICH. All of the trillions of dollars
of bailout money went to corporations, not the poor and middle class.
It went to banks and car companies and big industry. Even the food
stamp program is to profit the rich. When people on food stamps go to
the store and buy food, the money goes right back into the hands of
the corporations.
The Republicans want
Latino votes but do not want Latinos in the country. In fact, they do
not want anyone who is not affluent to enter the country and have the
opportunity for the American dream. The proof is all of the
Republican sponsored immigration laws meant to keep Latino people
out. They parade a handful of Latino folks in front of us, so that we
will believe that they are inclusive of everyone, which is simple not
true. They do the same for the African-American vote. The
African-Americans that represent the Republican party tend to be more
well off than most. “Are their Blacks better than other Blacks?”
The democratic convention actually looked like the United States of
America. People of all races, creeds and colors. Wasn't that the
vision of the founding fathers of this country? Isn't the United
States supposed to be a melting pot where all can come together in
freedom and liberty and pursue the American Dream?
Mr. Romney the People are hurting, but you want them to make more bricks with no straw. We have already been delivered from that, no need to go back. Mr. Romney if you want to be president you have to be the president for all the people, of all the people, and by all the people, not just the rich, wealthy, and well off. How can you actually lead and serve people that you despise? True leadership begins with love and compassion for people.

Sermon Notes: September
16, 2012, The Blessing.
Genesis 1:27 “So God
created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him;
male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said
unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and
subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the
fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the
earth.”
Psalm 1:1-3 “Blessed is
the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth
in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But
his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he
meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the
rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his
leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.”
119:1-3 “Blessed are the
undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord. Blessed are
they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole
heart. They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways.”
Revelation 5:12 Saying
with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive
power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory,
and blessing.
- The blessing has always existed since the creation of man and it will be upon us even in heaven.
- You are blessed, NOT cursed, Jesus took all curses for us it is part of the finished work of the cross. Galatians 3:13
- When the curse came, God cursed the ground NOT the man. God never cursed us it is a lie and deception of the enemy. Genesis 3:17
- We can actually bless God by living within his will.
- We are NEVER waiting on a blessing, we are already blessed.
- When you are waiting on the LORD, you are waiting for his GLORY to manifest through the blessing.
- The blessing is all of the spiritual gifts, physical gifts, ability, knowledge, wisdom, and understanding that God has given you to enable you to function at and in every level of life.
- The blessing also includes other people, the Holy Spirit and angels sent into your life to help you in every situation.
- The blessing is a gift from God You are BLESSED
I hope and pray that this
will Bless you. All Praise, honor and glory be to Jesus Christ our
Lord and may the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
Amen.
Apostle Judson Powell.
