By Brother Michel Lankford As It Is Written: “Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. (Colossians 3:5 NKJV) I think that it is a great question which you ask. That’s awesome. There is no practice better than to learn and put God’s instructions in the practice, so I am delighted to help you where I can. Thank you for the opportunity. I may not cover every single detail of how to obey this verse, but I will definitely give you the biblical starting points: First, make Read more…

By Brother Michel Lankford From the biblical point of view, there is only one way to put faith into action. You have to believe what God said through His Word enough that you seek to learn, and then you OBEY His Biblical Commandments. From the biblical point of view, what ever you follow and obey is what you truly believe, and what you truly belong to, (Romans 6:14–18). For example, if I continually obey my sinful nature and I don’t practice turning away from that, then this actually proves that I don’t really believe or belong to God, but I Read more…

By Brother Michel Lankford The answer is unequivocally YES, absolutely! According to the Whole Testament of Scripture, the Bible is incredibly clear. If you are in Covenant relationship with Abba (יהוה YHWH) Almighty God; if He is truly your Heavenly Father, and you are truly His child, He will correct, chastise, and discipline you. God Disciplines His Children Whom He Loves (Job 5:17; Psalm 94:12; Psalm 119:67; Psalm 119:75; Proverbs 3:11–12; Hebrews 12:5–13; Revelation 3:19). According to Scripture, it is a very frightening thing, IF you are NOT disciplined and corrected by God. If God doesn’t discipline and correct you, Read more…

Brother Michel Lankford Beloved of YHWH Almighty God, PLEASE DON’T do that. You would be living a lie. You would be pretending to be something you’re not for entertainment. That’s dangerous. It would pollute you and defile you in ways that you might not even be aware of. It’s not wise. Lying Will Cause you to be Condemned Instead of Being Saved As It Is Written: “He that overcomes shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and sexually immoral, and sorcerers, Read more…

In other words, why does it happen that the way you leave a church or a relationship is the way you will enter into your next church or relationship? The simple answer is that you are broken, so is the church or other party that you are trying to relate to. Until you develop a lifestyle of overcoming in your part of any relationship, you will continue repeating the same mistakes, or being drawn into the same type of dysfunctional relationships. The Broken Church System I don’t want to oversimplify things, but I don’t want to over complicate them either. Read more…

By Brother Michel Lankford We want to be careful when it comes to this or any other issue of biblical spiritual practice. We need to make absolutely certain that we do not add to or subtract from the Commandments of YHWH Almighty God, (e.g. Deuteronomy 4:2; Deuteronomy 12:32; Revelation 22:17-19). We are required not to forbid the speaking in tongues, (1 Corinthians 14:39). There are some scriptural instructions however that we MUST follow. Basically, there is NO Commandment for how long an individual should speak in tongues in their own private prayer time. So it would be a SIN to Read more…

By Brother Michel Lankford To commit idolatry is to put our trust in; to devote ourselves to; to perform acts of service to; to be more loyal to; or to give worship and homage to any deity OTHER than to (יהוה YHWH) Almighty God. Idolatry could also be any carving, statue, or icon or engraving that one uses in worship in an attempt to represent (יהוה YHWH) Almighty God. Even using anything created by human hands to represent YHWH can be considered idolatry, if that imagery is used in worship (see e.g. Exodus 32:1-10). As It Is Written: “Then God Read more…

Brother Michel Lankford es, there are many scripture verses on obeying YHWH Almighty God. Almost everyone knows that the Greatest Commandment is that believers are supposed to love YHWH Almighty God with all our heart, with all our soul, with all our mind, and with all our strength, and secondly, that we are to love our neighbor as ourselves, (Matthew 22:36-40; Matthew 7:12). Obeying His Commandments is HOW We Love God What so many people forget or neglect; (even among many Christians), is that the WAY that we show, prove, and demonstrate that we truly love God and love our Read more…

Brother Michel Lankford No He is not. People of the sinful world desperately want to believe and try to pretend that, because if that propaganda against God were true, it would invalidate YHWH Almighty God’s Authority. That’s why so many who hate God, try to push such an agenda. If you read the Old Testament very carefully, the ENTIRE point is that YHWH Almighty God is HOLY; [Meaning to be SEPARATED OUT; UNIQUE; fully SET APART] from all other entities who pose as, and pretend to be ‘gods,’ but they are in fact demons and NOT ‘gods’ at all. As Read more…
