NO APPEARANCE OF EVIL
1 Thessalonians 5:22 says (KJV) “Abstain from all appearance of evil.” The word here for evil in the Greek is “poneros” Strongs 4190 which means “evil in effect or influence, being hurtful; morally culpable or derelict, facinorous which means atrociously wicked.”
We are not to be like the world. If we, as Christians even do things that “appear” to be sinful in our actions, even they are not, we are to avoid them because it may cause a brother or sister to stumble. We are to walk a holy life.
Paul addresses a situation that involved a brother that may be weak about what they were to eat or not eat. Some born again Jews were still living under the dietary law, while the gentiles were not. He told the believers that if they were eating something that would cause a brother or sister to stumble to not eat it in front of those that were weak in the faith. He was specifically talking about eating animals that had been sacrificed to idols instead of kosher meat. This could cause a brother to be offended that ate only kosher meat or one that was a vegetarian. In Romans 14:21 Paul says, “It is good neither to eat flesh, nor drink wine, nor anything whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak (in the faith).”
Whatever we do, we should ask Holy Spirit if it would cause others to stumble. This would include where we go, what we watch at movies, what we wear outside our home, how we speak in words, and in deeds, and many other things.
Regardless of how you may feel about something, if the appearance of what you are doing is offensive to other believers, avoid it. If it gives even gives a hint of a sin that one may think has occurred, avoid such action. In other words, let there be nothing we do give the appearance of evil (sin).

REASONING
We are made of spirit, soul, and body. We are made in the image of a triune God, who is one God, but manifested in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
The soul is the seat of the emotions, feelings, your natural thinking, and reasoning. The soul bases what it knows on the natural senses which are made up of touch, taste, smell, natural hearing, seeing. Reasoning that comes from the senses can keep us from harm, but in the spiritual, it often is not led by Holy Spirit.
Proverbs 3:5-6 says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart (the inner man, the spirit) and lean not unto your own understanding (the mind, the reasoning). In all thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct your paths.”
To trust God with the Spirit without using the understanding is often difficult for people that are intellectually developed. They have been taught many things, and often their decisions are based on “what they know” instead of “who they know.”
When Jesus called to Peter to come walk to him on the water, it was not the intellect that caused him to walk to Jesus. The intellect came when he saw the waters and his intellect said it was impossible to do it. This caused Peter to “sink.” This often happens to us when we try to reason out our situations intellectually instead of asking God what His course of action is. It may be entirely different than you may expect.
For instance, you may not have enough money to pay your bills, but God says to give to someone in worse need than yourself. In the natural that would not make any sense. After all, you are the one that has the financial need. Yet, God through your obedience will make a way for you financially that would not have happened if you had not been obedient to His voice.
Most often we try to make things happen instead of asking God for his help. Abraham and Sarah made the wrong decision of having a child by a servant instead of waiting for God to touch Sarah’s dead womb. It caused a nation to be birthed that has been at odds with the true heir, Isaac that did come until it was God’s timing.
If you find yourself trying to always figure things out, then perhaps you need to repent and trust that God will lead you by His Spirit. Reasoning will often oppose the word that comes from God. It often will not make sense to go with Holy Spirit, but I have learned that Holy Spirit knows more than my “intellect” does any day of the week.
There was a reason that God said in Proverbs 3:5 to “…lean not unto our own understanding.” It is for our own good. After all, God is a know it all, and knows what is best. We can rest in that my friend and be certain He will not lead us wrong.

PROPHETIC WORD
AS GIVEN TO HELEN SANDERS
There is a stirring, there is a stirring saith the Lord. For I am stirring things up like they have never been stirred before. Oh, you would say, why is this happening Lord? And where are you Lord? But I would have you know that I am in the stirring. I am stirring nation against nation, father against son, mother against daughter. I am in this stirring, for it must happen saith the Lord. For you shall see kingdoms fall and you shall see kingdoms rise up in their own power and strength be defeated, for it has to happen. The stirring will bring about many changes in the lives of those living today saith the Lord, for I am not only stirring up those that walk in darkness and will receive their just reward, but I am also stirring up the hearts of my children to stand and go forth and be what they have been called to be. You no longer have to reach out for the scepter saith the Lord, for I will hear your cry and go forth with you into battle, and you shall see a shift, a shift in the pathway that has been blocked. For I am going before you to remove those hindrances that have caused you not to go forward. You have been tested in the fire and have been proven faithful, and you shall see a shift, yes, a shift in all that you put your hand to. You shall be as Moses when he put his foot in the water and the sea wasdivided so he could go forth. When there has been no way for you, you shall see the Waymaker make a clear path for you to advance. For I know what you will do as you advance. You will stand strong and see the enemies of your soul defeated. The hours that you have spent in prayer and reverence with me have not been wasted my child, for in those hours I heard your cry and was making a plan that would not fail for you. You shall see much violence in the days ahead but listen not to the violence. For I am in the stirring up of what is happening. It must happen to separate the sheep from the goats. For soon, my child you shall see my mighty hand of deliverance and you shall see the enemy cut off and you shall see that I am a God of justice and a God of mercy. For yea, saith the Lord, it is no surprise that things are happening the way they are, because it is I saith the Lord that am stirring people up. The darkness shall grow greater and greater, but your light shall shine in this hour and the glory that I put upon your head shall shine and bring such as I will out of darkness. Do not consider the things that are happening as not being understood by me, for I am doing what I have always done. I will cause the captivity of many to be unloosed as I have done in the past, and you shall see the justice hammer come down on those that kept my children in bondage. For yes, the stirring shall be like a swift river overflowing its banks going forth and bringing justice yet bringing mercy. It shall happen and you shall see it. Fear not as you see these things come upon the face of the earth, for it is I that is stirring up these things saith the Lord.

PROPHETIC EXHORTATION
The things that were sent your way to take you down and put you under...Have now actually turned in your favor and it’s taking you up and putting you over. While others were jeering and laughing...You were praising and launching. Yes, while the enemy was waiting for your setback; You were on your way to enjoying your God sent comeback. It looks like the enemy didn’t know the powerful principles of God’s Word. “You plotted evil against me, but God turned it into good”. (Gen. 50: 20a) So now you just hold on and look up. For no matter how things have been looking for you at the present; Your faithful God is about to turn things around in your favor. Somebody needs to go ahead and put a praise on it.

Your Eyes Shall Sleep! HCC
Death is a valley, open on both ends.
You close your eyes in sleep,
And then awaken, to Christ, your Savior, your friend.
Have no fear when death is near,
As long as you believe. Your eternal home awaits,
This Heaven, with golden streets.
All believers will be there.
A reunion so to speak.
Smiles, yes, there’s no despair. In this Heaven,
With gates of pearl, that you will see.
The best of all is Jesus. The Savior of the World.
Scarred hands you’ll see, his majesty,
The king of humanity. It’s eternity, and your home.
