Good morning and Happy Friday. As a member of a large congregation there are always those who have something about our church. How can they have a comedy show at their church? How can there be movie night at the church? How could they go overseas and spread the gospel when there is so much to do here in the Chicago land area. Although other churches may not be as big or are bigger than where I attend services there is still a tendency of the world to discredit anything that the people of God are doing. In fact if is positive, the world will do anything to put there spin on it. They Will Try To Tear It Down
The people of God are under attack. If the world is for it and we are against it there is a price to pay. If you say anything about the alternative lifestyles that some people practice you are surely to be
reprimanded. If you wear your faith to proudly your are infringing on their rights. If you try to have your child pray in school you are wrong. The world does not want to see the gospel being spread. They Will Try To Tear It Down.
In going to the Word of God for this teaching of They Will Try To Tear It Down I begin in Acts 12:1-4. In these verses Herod is fed up with the those who teach in the name of Jesus and kills James
and puts Peter in jail. Just as Herod was so shall there be many people in the world who will want you to stop teaching and speaking about Jesus even though you know that he is real. They Will Try To Tear It Down.
As we continue this teaching of They Will Try To Tear Down I go to the Word of God and Philippians 2:1-4. These verse tells that even though the world will try to pull it we as members of
Body of Christ have to be as one. We have to have the love of one another because the enemy does not want to see us be of one accord but of chaos and confusion. They Will Try To Tear It Down.
As we come to the end of the Biblical portion of the teaching of They Will Try To Tear It Down I end in Revelations 3:8-11. In these verses Jesus is talking to the church of Philadelphia and has
done some things for them to show then he is pleased that they are faithful. As members of the Body of Christ there are going to be those in the world who are not happy that God is protecting you. They Will Try To Tear It Down.
In closing we as the Body of Christ know that teaching that God is the Father, Jesus is the Son and the Holy Spirit gets under the skin of some. Its not just people in the world that has a problem with that basic fact. We know that the world does not want the churches to get along because they know if we did there would be changes that they could not stand. And we know when we stay faithful to God, as much as they try the will not be able to tear us apart. The enemy will be running scared and They Will Try To Tear It Down. I give God all the glory and honor for this teaching. Please attend someone's Sunday School or come and join us for Rhema Word 2.0 here at Valley Kingdom Ministries International. Have a great week all.

Good afternoon and Happy Friday. In the lives of many of us there are those people whose only objective is to make others miserable. It happens all the time in the workplace as conflict is often times viewed as productive. It happens where we live as there are some who seek young men to join gangs. It happens in our place of worship as some members continue to look down on others. And for some of us we need relief from these things. When we trust in God he will make sure that Day by Day he Provides What We Need.
The journey that God has for us is not always easy. There are going to be people put in places that will seem as if they are not going allow you to have a peace of mind. These are your test. How you
come out of these test it what your character is built on. Yes that co worker is working that last nerve, the gangs are showing our young men the fast money and that member of your church cannot keep your name out of their mouth. But please know that God is there Day by Day is Providing What We Need.
As we continue this teaching we go the Word of God and to Ezra 6:6/ In this passage King Darius has to intervene on behalf of the people of God to those people, namely, Tattenai, Shethat-Boznai and the
others and tells them to go away. See although you may want to cuss your coworker out that is not what you needed to do. Let God handle it. Day by Day He Provides What We Need.
As we continue this teaching of Day by Day God provides what we need let us go to Ezra 6:8. in this verse King Darius makes another decree that allows the money come from the people who were
causing the issues. See we do not have to get into verbal confrontations with these gang recruiters, God sees the need come and change situations. Day by Day God Provides What We Need.
As we come to the conclusion of the Biblical portion of this teaching of Day by Day God Provides What We We Need I go to Ezra 6:9. King Darius also tells the men who attempted to stop what God
wanted done to give them whatever they wanted, without fail, day by day. Although that church member thought they were harming they were not. Day by Day God Provides What You Need,
In closing we as the people of must know that God is bigger than that coworker, is greater than the gang recruiters, and is more magnificent than that person who is holier than thou. We must move into his presence and what him provide the breakthroughs, the healing, the moves, the visions, the ideas, and whatever else we need from him, every single Day. Day by Day God Provides What We Need. Have a great weekend everyone and I give God all the glory and honor for this teaching.

Good afternoon and Happy Friday. Last year I was walking in the downtown area of Chicago and I saw a one the major retail stores in the city, Sears, getting ready to close the store in the downtown area. They were having a big sale. There was merchandise marked down as much as 75%. There was sign stating that the store was closing soon, And there was a sign that said Everything Must Go. As members of the Body of Christ we need to make some changes in the way we do things to get closer to God, to receive our blessings, and to inherit the Kingdom of Heaven. If things are not of God they should not be part of our lives. Everything Must Go.
As we begin this teaching I want to define the keyword in this teaching and that is everything. I go to my source of definitions which is dictionary.com. Everything means as follows; particular of an
aggregate or total or all. So each day we must be mindful of the things that are not pleasing to God, that stops us from receiving our blessings and that will keep us from inheriting the Kingdom of Heaven. Everything Must Go.
In beginning this teaching of Everything Must Go I to to 1st Samuel 16:1-3. In these verses God has heard Samuel ask that Saul be removed from being king and has told him to go see Jesse. Samuel
initially is hesitant until God provides to him the directions on how he should do this. God is telling us that there are things we should be doing but we are hesitant. We cannot be hesitant and get closer to God. Everything Must Go.
As we continue in the Word of for this teaching of Everything Must Go I go to 1st Chronicles 17:1-14. David had wanted to build God a house for him to dwell in and God saw his faith and not only
blessed him all of his days, but his descendants as well. We as the Body of Christ at times want to have blessings but we must also listen to God. Not listening will not work. Everything Must Go.
As we come to the end of the Biblical portion of this teaching of Everything Must Go I go to 1st Chronicles 21:1-7. In this passage David is tempted by Satan and falls into temptation and makes
God angry. As members of the Body of Christ we cannot fall into the trickery and traps of Satan. We have to be aware of this for it may cost us entry into the Kingdom of Heave. Everything Must Go.
In conclusion we must be particular in the aggregate, total and all of what we do. We cannot be hesitant when God tells us to do something. We have to listen to him at all times. We must resist the temptations of the enemy. We need to clear our lives of doubts, fears, lack of trust, negativity, pride, vanity, scheming, getting over, being phony, lack of spreading the gospel, refusing to enter into places that need the teachings of the gospel, continuing in restrictions of religion, failing to be active in media, failing to walk out on faith and begin that television show or business. God wants us to prosper. Anything that is counter active of that should not be in our lives. Everything Must Go. I give God all the glory and honor for this teaching.

Good afternoon and Happy Friday. Earlier this week I had a chance to speak with a young woman who had a lot to say to me. She began by saying that last weekend she had went to a fight party and then to the club. She said she had done this often but felt compelled to go to church on Sunday as she wanted to change her life. She wore clothes that she wore to the club and had a smell of alcohol but came anyway. She preceded to tell me something that surprised me. She told me that the people at church looked at her as if she did not belong there. And she swore she would never come back. Our job is the Body of Christ is to love not judge. Judge Them Not.
As we begin this teaching let us define the word judge. I go to my source of definitions and that is dictionary.com. The word judge means as follows; a person appointed to decide in any matter; an
official with supervisory duties; and a public officer authorized to hear and decide cases. That is not the assignment that God has given the Body of Christ. Judge Them Not.
I go to the Word of God for this teaching of Judge Them Not and begin in Matthew 7:1-2. In these verses Jesus is teaching to everyone that when you judge others you will be judged in the same way.
As I continue to talk to this young woman she said that the doorkeepers, the people next to her and even the choir seemed to pointing and laughing at her clothes. Judge Them Not.
As we continue in teaching of Judge Them Not I go back to the Word of God and Ephesians 4:29. In this verse it speaks of lifting everyone with a kind word and not being mean. The young lady told
me that when she went around her "saved" family members after she left church and was surprised that they looked at her the same way that the members of the church did. Judge Them Not.
As we come to the end of the Biblical portion of this teaching I go to James 4:11-12. In these verses James writes about not judging others and asks the question who are you to judge? The young lady
said that she went the work the next day seeking to talk to that minister who works with her and he did not want nothing to do with since she seems to have a "sinful lifestyle. Judge Them Not.
In conclusion the young woman could not get to the Body of Christ at church, within her own family or even at work, because of the judgment of others. The church cannot be a group appointed to decides who can come to Christ. Family Members cannot be an official with supervisory duties who keeps those from Christ. And coworkers who have a relationship with Christ are not that public officer authorized to hear and decide cases. That is not the assignment that God has given the Body of Christ. Love and acceptance of anyone is the mantra of the Trinity. Judge Them Not. Because we all have come from and out of some things. Have a great weekend and Happy Mother's Day to all but especially Pastor Beverly Wilson , the spiritual mother of Valley Kingdom Ministries International.
