Sheep or Goat, Who are you?

Sheep and goats at times have been thought to be very similar, but they are separated by 6 chromosome and fall under different genera in their respective subfamily. I found it interesting to read that the off spring a hybrid is always infertile when a goat and sheep rarely mate or are still born at delivery. Now you may be reading this “Word of the Week” entry and maybe thinking, “Yeah, he really has too much time on his hands”, please read on to see where the Sheppard is going to take us today for a drink of water.

In reading the book of Psalms verse 23, the faith of a sheep being lead by his Sheppard (who is Jesus Christ) is illustrated by David as he speaks of the Lord in this Psalm as it reads….

The LORD Is My Shepherd

23The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

2 He maketh me to lie down in green [1] pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest [2] my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. [3]

Sheep have blind faith and know the voice of their Sheppard as they are willing to trust the Sheppard to direct them away from harm, into shelter or a place rest. As sheep we are willing to be lead by our Sheppard knowing that he will take us to a place of rest or will be a rod of protection when the enemy comes. Now, I know your thinking, “Yeah, yeah, I get it, who are the goats and how does that equate to scripture?”

In the Matthew 25 verses 32 – 46, Jesus warns us about will happen to the goats, as they will be divided apart from the sheep.

³²And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:

³³And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

³⁴Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

³⁵For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:

³⁶Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

³⁷Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?

³⁸When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?

³⁹Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

⁴⁰And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

⁴¹Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

⁴²For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:

⁴³I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.

⁴⁴Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?

⁴⁵Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.

⁴⁶And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

Sheep or Goat God will, decide…. When I read this, chapter immediately I thought why did Jesus warn us not to be as goats? What the goat represents in its traits is singleness and not the love and faith that the sheep possess. Let’s all become like sheep, and follow the Sheppard.

********************************Alter Call**************************

Romans: 10:9-10 Who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.

If you do not know Jesus as your personal Savior please pray this prayer with me. God, I recognize that I have not lived my life for you up until now. I have been living for myself and this is wrong. I need you Lord in my life. I acknowledge the complete work of your Son Jesus Christ in giving his life for me on the cross at Calvary. Come into my life Jesus and reside in my heart! I claim you as my Lord, and Savior from this day forward. I will no longer be controlled by sin, or the desire to please myself, but I will follow you, forever! This I ask in your precious name Jesus. Amen.

The Kings Disciple One on One with DJ Worship More

This is a very personal interview for me and I am blessed to share his ministry and message of victory with you today. The King’s Disciple has been there for me from the beginning, always sharing an encouraging word and throwing up a thumb in support of the station. The philadelphia (meaning brotherly) connection that I have for this group is of brotherhood and exemplifies the meaning of Christian brotherly love.

It is an honor to introduce to you Cesar Ascencio A.K.A. The King´s Disciple!

Question DJ Worship More:

Your music is filled with your personal testimony and you have a life changing message that proves how powerful our God is! Cesar, can you please share who you are as a minister first and your message of redemption that is evident within your music?

Answer King’s Disciple:

Well, as far as ministry is concerned, I have been giving Bible studies to the youth in the church school department of our church for 3 years with my wife. 2012 is the start of our fourth year. We also direct Tuesday night services and this year is the start of our second year. At the end of 2011, we have been given the ministry of youth leadership for 2012 in which we are now active. I just started performing with the worship team for church school as well in which I play the guitar. We have been very busy in the ministry so I am really glad to be in GOD´s service and I must say that it takes up a lot of energy which GOD Almighty provides through His Spirit.

Question DJ Worship More:

We spoke briefly prior to this interview, and I came to know who you were and the type of brother in Christ you represent. I then read your bio and became even more touched for you have been delivered from the enemy and have a personal testimony about the Supernatural dangers of playing with the Ouija board. My first question is why did you choose to even touch the Ouija board?

Answer King’s Disciple:

Wow, interesting question. It´s a long story and I´ll try to sum it up as briefly as possible. Ever since I was around eleven years old I had a fascination with supernatural powers from the unknown. I remember once with my childhood friends we played as warlocks in the neighborhood calling on forces in a circle. Now that I reflect, I believe that was the moment something was unlocked in the spirit realm through that invoking of powers. Apart from that, I didn´t dabble with the occult world at all, for I didn´t know how to exactly. But it was when I was 15 years old, me and those same friends with whom I played as a warlock with, watched a movie about a Ouija board. After that, we all had a deep interest in playing with one ourselves. So shortly after that, while on summer vacation from high school, we got a hold of one and played with it in our friend’s bedroom. After that in the same week, when I was at home in my bedroom lying down in bed (my room was the last room at the end of the house and my bed was against the wall, hence, the wall in which my bed was against was the wall that separated the inside from the outside of the house, understand?) I heard something run vertically up the wall (on the outside of the house) and when it reached the roof, run horizontally across the roof. I hope you beloved readers can visualize and understand all this. That was the beginning of the period of torment in my life from a spirit (or spirits) that entered into my life through playing with the Ouija board.

Question DJ Worship More:

After playing with the Ouija board you became haunted by demons desiring more power. How were you delivered from the terrible power that had taken over your life?

Answer King’s Disciple:

Well, let me explain something that is very important that shouldn´t go unnoticed. A short time after the first incident while I was lying on my bed, I was lying down once again in bed relaxing. It was late night and I was not falling asleep. I wasn´t intoxicated and I was just thinking, looking up at the ceiling. Then, all of a sudden I felt a sense of fear and a cold presence in the room. I then heard a strong wind come against my ears and as fast as I heard that sound, something (a demon) entered me. All the muscles in my body, every fiber, tendon etc. of my body flexed as if I were a body builder and all the muscles of my face flexed as well and my lips were forced into an intense smile, as if the ends of my lips were pulled back supernaturally. At the same time my eyes rolled to the back of my head. My back curled upward with my abdomen reaching up and I couldn´t move or anything. This force had complete control of me. This all happened rapidly. While I was in this state, my inner being was able to scream but physically I couldn´t speak or move anything. I remember vividly that while I was in this state, I felt a terrifying fear and at the same time a rage that is not human, I don´t know how to explain this in human words but the intensity was out of this world. I felt like bursting in screams louder than any human can scream and I felt strength unknown to man. All the while my inner self thought,”If my mom comes in my room for some reason, she will faint through the terror of seeing what is happening”. Now, I was raised in church since I can remember. I knew there was a GOD. And I remember while I was in this state of possession, I started to call out to GOD with all my inner strength and the very moment I started to call out to GOD to help me, the spirit that possessed me immediately left me, instantaneously, from that moment on, these incidents occurred to me about once or twice a week. At times I felt my body elevate from the bed during these incidents and the way it elevated varied. At times my upper body would lift up slowly while from my hip downward would remain on the bed, at other times my whole body would elevate horizontally altogether. This all may sound unreal but remember that these are spiritual powers that cannot be seen and are not to be messed with. The quantity of times a week varied. I then grew a desire to get possessed and that is when I got more interested in the spirit realm and unknown. Now this was a paradox because, after the demon left me at night when I would get possessed I was filled with torment and slept with the light on, but after about 2 years of these occurrences I was desiring this to happen to me more.

Question DJ Worship More:

When did you get saved and how?

Answer King’s Disciple:

Well, after about a couple years of these demonic encounters and the eventual worship of these entities, I moved out of my mom´s house with a couple friends with whom I sold and consumed drugs with at the time. They eventually moved out and that is when in solitude I would worship the demonic entities that oppressed me, but it is kind of weird because at night I would practice this type of worship and during the day I was pretty normal according to human standards. I had an 8 hour job, worked during the day and do my drugs at the house (note: Doing drugs is not normal in any way) but at night something happened to me, I would desire to seek demonic power and I felt like a different person. However, all the while, I would watch the Christian channel because I felt alone. GOD started speaking to my life when I started seeing that channel. Even though I would get drugged up, I would watch that channel. Then, one day, at the end of September of 2003, I gave my life to Christ Jesus. I was hearing a preacher on that channel and he made a calling to the viewers to accept Jesus Christ as Lord and I accepted that calling and decision. It was rare because after that prayer, which was around midday while on my lunch break at home, I felt the same. I didn´t cry, I felt like nothing whatsoever happened. Little did I know that in the spirit realm, chains were broken, something powerful beyond my comprehension occurred because the following morning when I woke up, I felt brand new! I didn´t reach to my pipe to consume drugs before work which was my everyday ritual for years on end. It has been a process but praise GOD He delivered me from all those chains.

Question DJ Worship More:

Your new CD is a testament of faith and statement of redemption. Cesar, what is going on with the CD, share with us the name and what artist are you collaborating with on the CD?

Answer King’s Disciple:

The title of my upcoming album is called, ´Apocalyptic Generation´. The title is an expression of what I feel in my spirit. I believe with all my being that this world is soon to see events that will open eyes and bring many people to Christ. At the same time, people will be filled with fear, not understanding what will be happening around them because of their prior hardening of their hearts´ and closing of ears´ to the Word of GOD and prophets. I believe the world is soon going to undergo the most difficult moments than ever before. Only the Father knows the times and seasons, the day and the hour of His return, but what I do know is this, as the title of one of my songs, we have to, ‘Get ready!´. On the album I have collaborations with the artists A.P. Light and Tha D.Q.C. I am really excited about this album because its focus is prophetic which is distinct to many other albums out there, evangelistic and at the same time edifying for the church.

Question DJ Worship More:

The CD has a many burners on it, where can we purchase the CD and I heard you have something new dropping soon correct?

Answer King’s Disciple:

My record label CEO hasn´t just yet released the tracks yet, at the moment they are up for grabs I will be letting you know. I am about 70% finished with the album. I plan on releasing it around May, possibly sooner though. It will be worth the wait readers, please be patient.

Question DJ Worship More:

What websites can we read more about you and your ministry? How can we stay up to date with your latest achievements?

Answer King’s Disciple:

Cesar, you are a true brother! One who will stand by me throughout the good times and bad and even when I needed a word of encouragement you were there. I want to say thank you, and God has allowed you to experience the bad at an early age because after the fire you have emerged purified and refined.

Thank you and God Bless!

Man At War!

Many of today’s modern governments have a multi pillar approach when dealing with an enemy. The political approach, covert measure, counter-proliferation, sanctions and when all else fails, the need to issue a regime change. The same concept can also be applied to the eternal struggle for the Souls of mankind. All believers who have accepted Christ declared war against sin and walked away victorious once the final pillar became the only option to establish peace. I am asking you today, “What political action did you attempt before applying a regime change?”

Many people know that the story of the Adam and Eve and believe that the first sin occurred in the Garden of Eden. In reality the first sin was when Satan and his angels rebelled against God. In efforts to continue to defy God, Satan turned to corrupt the hearts of humanity using lies to beguile man to sin against God. This separation caused men and women to be eternally cursed, thrusting mankind into the spiritual war for our very existence.

The multi pillar approach will fail in our efforts to win the spiritual battle. For there is only one way by accepting Jesus even though we may try one or all of the pillars. The only method that will bring about results is the regime change. Here are a few reasons why the political and covert measure will never work and why issuing Christ as your new King is the only regime that will work.

The political approach involves compromise, placing your soul in a losing position. This is evident because Jesus clearly states, “So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth” (Revelations 3:16). God is looking for you to love Him without compromise so the political approach clearly will resolve regaining peace in the war for your soul.

The covert measure is a planned approach to resolve a crisis. Usually it will attempt to make a move on the enemy in a manner that is concealed. You will hear many people say that I plan to go to church later after I have my fun or attend Church on Sunday then returning to their daily routine. The covert measure allows sin the opportunity to revolve in your life on a weekly schedule. Yes, you are living your life just as you planned it, but not according the Word. Our efforts to live life in this manner will keep your soul in constant deliberation. So in your attempts to move out and move on, the enemy will be useless only because negotiable efforts are being dealt by the father of lies. (John 8:44)

If you haven’t ushered in the regime change, today you can. If you do not know Christ as your personal savior and would like to: Pray this prayer with us...

God, I recognize that I have not lived my life for you up until now. I have been living for myself and that is wrong. I need you in my life today, and want you in my life from now on. I acknowledge the complete work of Your Son Jesus Christ in giving His life for me on the cross at Calvary, and I long to receive the forgiveness you have made freely available to me through this sacrifice. Come into my life now, Lord and take up residence in my heart to be my Lord and Savior. From this day forward I will not be bound by sin nor desire to please myself, but follow you all the days of my life. I ask this in Jesus name. Amen.

If you truly believe this this prayer we encourage you continue this walk of faith by joining and becoming a member of a church in your area.

God Bless,

God We Thank You, For Your Giving!

This is a week of giving thanks. This Thanksgiving holiday is a time for everyone to reflect upon what they are truly thankful for, as we spend time with our loved ones and enjoy a good holiday meal. I know we all are thankful for our health, a sound mind, and waking up to a new day. This year I want each of us to dig deeper and give thanks from our soul.

Asking myself, “What does Thanksgiving mean?” The Holy Spirit spoke to me and replied, “Salvation”. John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Instantly I lifted my head and said, “Thank you God for giving your Son so I can live.” Now that is what I call giving in a way that the entire world should be eternally thankful.

This Thanksgiving PreachPastor.com would like to thank our listeners, supporters and artists who have tuned in and shared their time to listen to our radio station. Your time gives us the strength to keep this station on the air.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving from PreachPastor.com!

Fallibility? Really?

This weekly Word is taken from Romans Chapter 3 versus 8-23

Have you ever thought what indictments would be made against man on the coming judgment day?

Have you ever thought what indictments would be made against man on the coming judgment day? When someone thinks of sin, many of us look inward towards ourselves and inner souls and mistakes that we have made as individuals. Paul the Apostle, in his letter to the Romans challenges man to look at his nature. The three indictments against man as a creature was first
mans’ fallibility (Rom 3:10-9), the next was his speech (Rom 3:13-14), and finally his actions (Rom 3:15-23). This week we will focus on Mans fallibility.

The three indictments against man as a creature

was first .... next was his speech (Rom 3:13-14)

As it is written...

Mans’ fallibility Romans chapter 3: 10-23:

¹⁰ As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

¹¹ There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.

¹² They are all gone out of the way, they are together become
unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

⁸ And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just.

⁹ What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;

No man can make it without Christ for he was the sacrificial lamb. We all need Christ Jesus for by HIS grace we are saved. (There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. (Rom 8-1)

Let us focus on Mans' fallibility in this blog. The definition of the word fallibility, in accordance with Dictionary.com means someone who is liable to error, especially in being deceived or mistaken. Wow! Now that alone is a sermon. The deception by Satan caused man to fall and our sin created the spiritual divide between us (man) and God. Man is born into a generational curse with only one cure for this sin sickness, and it is Jesus. So yes "WE" are all sinners born into sin and all of us need to repent for our sins for Jesus is the only cure.

********************************Alter Call**************************

Romans: 10:9-10 Who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.

If you do not know Jesus as your personal savior please pray this prayer with me. God, I recognize that I have not lived my life for you up until now. I have been living for myself and this is wrong. I need you Lord in my life. I acknowledge the complete work of your Son Jesus Christ in giving his life for me on the cross at Calvary. Come into my life Jesus and reside in my heart! I claim you as my Lord, and Savior from this day forward I will long longer be controlled by sin, or the desire to please myself, but I will follow you, forever! This I ask in you precious name Jesus.

Amen.

If you prayed this prayer I encourage you to join a local bible believing church and continue your march as Christian.

God bless.
