Something about sin- Reinhard Bonnke
The purpose of power is witness, but the purpose of holiness is holiness. The purpose of spirituality is personal - to be like God and so fulfill the ultimate purpose of God, His supreme and original reason for making man, as stated right from the beginning: "Let us make man in our image" (Gen. 1:26). God has business with each of us personally, not merely as His servants or instruments. He loves us, but not because we are useful to Him. You and I don't have relationships with our hammers and chisels. Neither does God have a relationship with us as His tools. Being used by God is simply one of the benefits, a privilege of knowing Christ.The failure of believers under the attacks of Satan is common. Some people sin openly and conceal their goodness. Others sin secretly while maintaining an appearing of goodness. Paul wrote, "Judge nothing before the appointed time" (1 Cor. 4:5). We are not qualified to preempt the judgment of the all-wise, all-knowing God. Some sins are the wounds of awful battles in which victories were won. Some men fight more temptation in a day than others do in a month. And big men can sin in a big way, a small fault becoming magnified through the lens of fame.God used David because he had extraordinary faith. Even when he murdered a man, the Holy Spirit inspired him to write one of the greatest psalms of contrition ever penned, Psalm 51. His murderous sin opened his eyes to divine greatness and graciousness. He truly repented and experienced full restoration. Romans 6:1-2 declares "What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?"

Judah Method's Intro - Shane Lemons
Loved this Intro to Shane's company "Judah Method" and had to pass it on . . .
What we call "Judah Method" is the method that has been known by One, before you or I existed, even before the hands of time began to spin. It is the method of personal journey and discovery that seeks self worth in the heavens. It uses knowledge of the foretold. It cries out for justice in the streets. It longs for encounter. It is the method that takes the seed of hope and plants it in the garden of faith, and in the very heart of man. And it is the method of radical, final union of what has been created throughout the ages, where restoration is ignited. And we proclaim one Hero - OUR HERO - The Lion of the Tribe of Judah, is running toward us in fierce love and the deepest desire. In this truth, we are simply ushers proclaiming and awaiting the time of Fullness and glory to arrive for those who desire to love the Hero in return. So we invite you to join us. We believe you are already on the guest list for this journey; the final restoration. Revelation 21:5 (NKJV) Then He who sat on the throne said, "Behold, I make all things new." And He said to me, "Write, for these words are true and faithful." Along with our heart's longing and message through our clothing, we also desire to provide superior quality, service and inspired design with all of our apparel. Whether you are nameless/faceless or if you are a public figure, we don't discriminate. We're not here to compete against any other clothing company. And we will never back away from the name of Jesus on our website, etc. - it is Him alone that we praise, and we won't ever try to make that hidden to try to be relevant. In our opinion, "Relevance" is only naivety if Truth is not brought into the picture of eternity. Even as you read this, God is whispering to you, longing for you to participate in this praise revolution that we at Judah Method Clothing are a part of. The reality is that we are ALL called to it. We live in a world that cries out for one main thing - Restoration. Yet, rarely do we find the world crying for it out of a heart of praise; in many cases the "world" is crying out for things out of an identity crisis. Some people and ministries understand this, but we need more that will speak about the Anointed One's ability to truly restore His Kingdom. We must understand NOW that this matters. Or are we going to let another generation miss the grand opportunity to ignite the final fire of His heart? So, join us as we call for the awakening of the generations to praise Him unlike any time in history. You were truly made for this! We're far more than a clothing company, and you are far more than a clay vessel taking up space and time. Judah Method involves you - sons and daughters of Adam, sons and daughters of God.
Who I'd like to meet:The real you.
