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.

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.

The Roman Road
From the Holy Bible book
of Romans
Consider the following
Bible truths: It takes being righteous for a person to go to heaven.
In fact, the promises of God in the bible are only for the RIGHTEOUS.
Heaven is only for the Righteous. Being righteous is being without
sin, and not in disobedience to God. Have you lived your whole life
without sin and disobedience? So ask yourself are you righteous? You
should have answered “NO” to that question. The Bible says
.
Romans 3:10 “As
it is written, There is none Righteous, no not one”
You may ask, “if there
are none righteous then where does that leave me? Surely we are not
all Sinners are we?” Well, the Bible would point you to the answer
to that question and it is YES! Your Apostle, Deacon, Priest, Bishop,
Pastor, Prophet, mother, Father and everyone else has sinned.
Romans 3:23 “For
all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;”
Romans 5:12
“Wherefore by one man ( Adam ) sin entered into the world, and
death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have
sinned:”
So, if we are “ALL”
sinners, then how do we become righteous?
Romans 6:23 “For
the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life
through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
Romans 5:8 “But
God Commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet
sinners, Christ died for us.”
The way we become
RIGHTEOUS and able to enter into eternal life is through Jesus
Christ.
Romans 10:9,10
“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and shalt
believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou
shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness;
and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”
Many people make this
decision much harder than it needs to be. God’s Word teaches us
that if you simply and sincerely believe in your innermost being that
Jesus took your place and died on the cross for the payment of your
sins, and that God raised him from the dead on the third day (found
in Matthew 28: 1 to 20) you will be saved by your confession of being
a sinner and asking the Lord Jesus to forgive you of your sins.
Because we are not
righteous on our own, the only way to heaven is to ask God to forgive
you of your sins and to cleanse you from all unrighteousness. The way
to do that is by believing in Jesus Christ and His finished work on
the cross.
Romans 10:13 For
whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
If you call upon Him for
salvation God promises to hear you and you will be saved!! If you
believe that you need Christ in your life I encourage you to go to
God in prayer and sincerely pray a prayer like the one below and mean
it in your heart:
PRAYER of
Salvation and Repentance
Heavenly Father I come to
you in prayer asking for the forgiveness of my sins. I confess with
my mouth and believe with my heart that Jesus is your perfect Son who
had no sin, And that he died on the Cross at Calvary that I might be
forgiven and have eternal Life in the Kingdom of Heaven. Father, I
believe that Jesus rose from the dead and I ask you right now to come
in to my life and be my personal Lord and Savior. I repent of my Sins
and will seek to Worship you all the day's of my Life!. Because your
word is truth, I claim its promise of eternal life and confess with
my mouth that I am Born Again and Cleansed by the Blood of Jesus! In
Jesus’ Name, Amen
If you have prayed this
prayer and truly meant it in your heart , God’s Word assures you
that you now have eternal life. See John 6:37 and John 10:27-29.
Please contact us about
your decision and if you have any questions so we can send you some
valuable information that will assist you in your new life in Christ.
I Love You

From the book 4R's by Apostle Judson Powell: Revival, Repentance, Relationship, Restoration.
4R's Book
The main question I placed before God was; why were people hearing the gospel and attending church and not being totally delivered, healed, and set free? Why are we as Christians losing the battle between the spirit and the flesh? I prayed and meditated on these questions every day. I ran an out reach ministry for the homeless and indigent. All of the sudden I was homeless and indigent myself. I was living in my van. The difference was that I knew that I wouldn’t stay homeless and indigent. I knew that somehow God was working a plan in my life. I just kept doing the work of the Lord. I would see people and minister to people that professed they knew the Lord. They could quote more bible scripture than I could, but the enemy still had them bound and enslaved to the flesh and in sin. Many of them came to church and attended service, but as soon as they left the service, they were back to being carnal minded, in addiction, abuse and other worse sin. I just kept asking God why? Why were these people not being totally healed, delivered and set free?
As I was riding in my van one day the spirit of God spoke to me. These four R’s were revealed to me as the answer to my prayer. I pulled the van over, wrote them down on a piece of paper, and put them in my pocket. Once they were in my pocket, I actually forgot about them. That was on a Wednesday night. The next night, I went to a healing and deliverance meeting at a ministry that I usually went to on Thursday night. I attended those meetings because I coveted the gift to have God use me as a healer for the Kingdom. When I got there, a retired pastor friend of mine comes up to me, pulls me aside, and says he has something that God told him to tell me. To my surprise and to my joy, he told me the same four R’s that God had given to me while I was riding down the street. I then pulled the piece of paper out of my pocket and showed the paper to my friend. We just laughed and praised God because of his goodness and how he had confirmed his revelation. Revival, Repentance, Relationship, and Restoration was born as the vision God gave me for my ministry

New Football Season
Football is back and it is bigger and
better than ever. Much to the she-grin of wives and pastors. Many
wives are now football widows and will not have much time with their
husbands as they will be watching every game. My oldest son and I
were talking about the schedule of football games and you can watch
football every single night of the week. With the right cable or
satellite programming combined with internet you can see every NFL,
college and now even high school games. That presents a problem for
many families especially where there is no synergy around football.
This also presents a problem for pastors as well.
The men are gone from the home and the
church. The most popular sport in the United States is played on
Sunday and most games have a 1pm start time, making is very difficult
for people that attend the games to attend church services. Some
pastors have even gone to placing televisions in the fellowship hall
and having men's ministry and fellowship after services so that they
can attract more men during football season. Wives equally have a
hard time getting attention from their husbands and the need for
pastoral counseling increases during football season. These football
wives are upset because their husbands do not spend enough time with
them. It is not grounds for divorce but it is grounds for concern.
I have some suggestions. First, place
God first. Attend church and record the first part of the early game.
Do not make football a god before GOD. Second, if your wife is not a
football fan, make some special time for her where you do exclusively
what she wants to do. Make a big deal out of it, just like you do
with the game. Next, try to pick a limited amount of games to watch
and limit that to your dosage per week. Too much of anything is bad
for you. Next, if there is a big game like playoffs etc... tell your
wife in advance so that she is aware of what is going on and she can
make other plans. Please note: all games are not big games. Finally,
be considerate even when the games are on. There are other things
going on in your household especially if you have children. Those
suggestions should make life a lot easier during football season and
may keep you out of the pastors office.
I know that football is a huge part of our culture, but it is not bigger than God or family. If you have gotten to that point, then you are way out of line and you need to reel yourself back in. I am a fan of the game, and in my younger years I played the game. I understand the excitement and anticipation associated with big games and big rivalries. I am from Detroit, Michigan and have been a Detroit Lions fan and University of Michigan fan all my life. I am not insensitive to football fans. However, we should always have balance and priorities in life. When anything takes God and family out of balance and creates other priorities, then it is going to cause us problems, whatever it may be. So remember football is just a game, but God and family is real life. Go Lions!

Sermon
Notes: September 9, 2012. " The Process of Repentance"
Matthew
21:28-32 But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came
to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard.
29
He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and
went.
30
And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and
said, I go, sir: and went not.
31
Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him,
The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the
publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.
32
For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed
him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when
ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him.
2
Timothy 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season;
reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
1.
All people will not receive the gospel.
2.
Friends and family will not receive the gospel.
3.
Continue to preach the gospel in spite of what others say.
4.
You may be surprised who will repent and receive the gospel.
5.
Repentance is a process for many do not judge.
6.
It is up to the Holy Ghost to convict hearts into repentance.
7.
Stay steadfast in LOVE.
I
pray this blesses you. Amen.

Presidential Election 2012, WWJD ?
The king's heart is in the hand of the
LORD, as the rivers of water: He turns it wheresoever he will.
Proverbs 21:1. As election day approaches the race for President is
very interesting. As a Christian, I do not know if you can be
completely happy with either side. What would Jesus do? The
Republicans seem hell bent on trying to prove they were poor once
upon a time and have pulled themselves up by their bootstraps. The
Democrats on the other hand have dived into uncharted water with
forcing employers to provide birth-control. Either way there are many
issues that are anti-Christian. It seems like we as Christians are
left with picking the lesser of two evils when and if we decide to
vote.
The cutting of social programs which
the Republicans seem to want to always do is really against the bible
and the church. Acts 2:44,45 “And all that believed were together,
and had all things common; And sold their possessions and goods, and
parted them to all men, as every man had need.” Sounds like the
early church was really a socialist endeavor. Everybody put in and
everybody got out what they needed. Any time a doctrine like health
care, welfare, or any other social program is brought up conservative
Christian Republicans are against it. I still always try to figure
out their thought process in believing that their trickle down
economic policy is really Christ-like. The oppression of the poor is
not Christ-like.
The democrats are very liberal when it
comes to human rights issues like same-sex marriage, abortion and
birth control. They are mostly pro-choice, pro woman's right to
decide. Their views may be humanly justifiable in some way, but are
not biblical. All the Democrats views on human rights issues are
somehow anchored in sin or disobedience to the word of God. They are
mired in sin but espouse the doctrine of free will. Proverbs 14:12
“There is a way which seems right unto a man, but the end thereof
are the ways of death.” God does give us free will but does that
mean that we fall deeper into disobedience? We have grace but does
that mean we can sin more?
According to the principles of the
bible, both sides have problems with their walk with the Lord. I
understand that this is not religion or spiritually, it is politics.
Politics in a democracy means that it is really a popularity contest
and the side that is most popular will win. That actually bodes
better for the Democrats because if you want to make friends it is
better to give than to take away. While in Law School I learned that
it is better to er on the side of giving people rights than to take
peoples rights away. So as Christians we really have to turn this
into a spiritual decision and pray about who we should vote for. The
Lord holds the heart of the King in his hands. If Jesus holds your
heart then He can tell you in prayer which side to vote for.
Finally, realize that you as a
Christian are a citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven and this place is
not your home. Our sojourn here is only temporary and Jesus is our
King. We are in this world but not of this world. Isaiah 9:6,7 “For
unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government
shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful,
Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of
Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no
end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and
to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even
for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.” Pray
for the United States of America.
