		<description>RE: A Book Recommendation

I'm a relationship expert and the author of a controversial Christian book entitled "Bitch Mentality." Itâ€™s a powerful tool of ministry written to equip and empower women who are struggling to overcome sexual promiscuity and self-defeating behavior patterns on their way to becoming anointed women of God. If your women's ministry, single's group, or book club read books that empower in a radical unorthodox way check this one out at http://laveetaivoryministries.com

		<description>It's hard to say what really happened.  Why did Jaunita Bynum follow him out to the parking lot?  Did she instrigate the fight? And, why would a supposedly "man of God" get involved in such a fight.  It's easier to walk away from a hostile woman.

It's obvious that Satan had a hand in all of this, including the greed, the strife, the deceptions, the manipulations, and now the fight/divorce.  This is hardly God's will.</description>

		<description>Jezebel's Finest Hour
 
WARNING: EX Ministries and G. Craige Lewis is against all forms of abuse by men and women. Verbal, physical, emotional, and spiritual abuse are of the devil and we stand against it all. The following blog is not an endorsement of any form of abuse towards women, but in fact, an expose of how one form of abuse leads to others. Please read with caution so that you will not feel that we are siding with anyone that abuses women but we are against all forms of it whether it be spiritual, verbal, or physical.

Ok, where do I start.

As if the body of Christ needs more silly drama played out before the world, now things are just getting out of hand. We are seeing the end of all things and the false prophets exposed for who they are and yet the silly women (and men) that follow them are charged up and ready to defend the foolishness of their celebrity heroes! Why are they ready to follow this foolishness wherever it may take them? Because the bible said they would! 2 Timothy 4:3 says, For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; In other words, they will heap upon themselves teachers that will give them drama and entertainment so they can forget about their own state and live out their fantasies and dreams through these false prophets and story telling preachers.

What am I talking about? I'm talking about false prophetess Bynum and her circus of a ministry that has so many silly women fooled it is ridiculous. This women has spread her witchcraft all over the body of Christ and has used her Jezebel anointing to conjure up a demonic influence that has put her on every major platform that our so called church has. She has bewildered the effeminate Bishops and manipulated the minds of silly women to put herself up and basically do whatever she wants without being challenged by any of the so called "leaders" of the body of Christ. But I got news for you. Those that lead her don't lead me! Those that are bewildered and under her Jezebel spell don't speak for me. I believe in the bible and I believe in Jesus. I don't submit to Jezebel and I will never allow her witchcraft to put me under. But so many have it makes me sad. Let's look at how this all started and where it is now and you will get a good understanding of why it is now.

First, this women confesses her sins before everyone and goes in depth to describe her sexual appetite and her carnal craving in her message No More Sheets. She then states that God does not allow her to wear makeup, pants, or any kind of outfits that will show her figure because the way she was would rise up in her again. So, she basically began preaching in a choir robe with a small Florida Evan's type afro, free of weave, perms, curls, and gel. But then, as the money poured in, the look began to change. I guess God changed his mind because her appearance began to reflect a different personality. But did any of the silly following of hers question her? NO. You don't question the prophetess, as she stated on TBN. "Don't you know you are all just a bunch of dumb sheep?" Those are her exact words, not mine. I would never call the people of God dumb sheep. 

Then, after her fallout with her so called "covering" TD Jakes, she began calling him out and traveling around preaching against him. But once she saw that he was able to shut her engagements down with his power over weak minded, selfish pastors and ministries, she came to him and repented by handing him her shoes and all that foolish mess. And after he laid hands on her and said "Daughter, thy sins are forgiven thee" she was back on the money trail, ready to take the spirit of Jezebel to new heights. (I didn't know we had the power to forgive sin like Christ, but I guess if we get enough money, folks will believe we have it!). So, after this, she began hosting TBN and got her clearance from the Christian Mafia to travel around and rob people of their hard earned money. But there was another level that Jezebel needed to rise to and that was to destroy God's plan for success in marriage. Even though she had a failed marriage and Thomas Weeks was currently IN a marriage, the 2 had to come together to make this happen. So, they got married and had a Million Dollar Wedding that they sold and marketed. Now understand, demonic Hollywood couples that have multi million dollar weddings don't sell their DVD's, but the silly women, laden with sins, will buy anything and she knew this. 

By now, her mixed audience (white and black folks) had finally turned all black, as they always do. Single black women, and women that are married to weak men began to flock after this Jezebel spirit that was operating through her. And she worked her magic to build a multi million dollar empire. But that's still not enough for Jezebel. Jezebel has to destroy the prophets of God remember? She has to make the men look bad and raise herself above the authority of men so she can lead. So, the marriage conferences started after the first year of that farce of a marriage. I remember the first conference they had and I even called to try to talk to them about it because I couldn't understand how they had Bishop Noel Jones as the keynote speaker (who is divorced) and Tonex as the psalmist (who is divorced)! That was a bunch of junk and mess and I just couldn't understand why so many silly folks was following after this. But they began to bankroll these conferences and fill the auditoriums as they discussed private, lewd behaviors that they shared together. 

I remember Thomas Weeks saying that he loves it when Juanita uses dirty, cuss words during sex! And Juanita stated on several occasions that she would get mad and throw bricks at his car, objects at him and really needed anger management when dealing with him! All of this was playing before the world like a dirty soap opera and so many bought into it. So many silly women and effeminate men flocked after this fiasco and really believed it was God. But I assure you, it is the spirit of Jezebel!

		<description>we as christians have to be accountable for our selves, if not how could we go out and preach the gospel of God that is the truth. If we can not be truthful to our selves how could we be disciples of God.  Amen. We must first seek the ki ngdom and God and all his righteousness and God will prevail. We  must remember that we are only human and not God.  We who are in Christ are many, we all have different calling but God is still our master. as christians we tend to forget. God said,to trust me not man. man has nothing to do with God's Creation. My prayers goes out to Rev. Juanita and God have mercy on her husband.</description>

		<description>The failure of this whole things was not the argument or the beating.  The argument and the fight were just symptoms of the illness.   We can throw stones at the incident, but the incident was only the result of the problem.

Our culture (not just these two people) is having real problems in the area of interpersonal and inter-marital relationships. This problem is not just in the laity, but in the clergy as well.  But it is difficult for a clergyman to counsel another when his marriage is in the basement.  Weeks and Bynum may have needed a non partisan mediator (not the sister) to go to, so that they could lay the cards on the table, face their truths, and resolve their issues with truth and the word of God which they both command others to do.  

Based upon what was reported and seen there may have been errors on the part of both Juanita and Weeks.   So both sides may need to put pride aside, lay themselves openly before God and a trusty counsellor/mediator, confront their personal issues and resolve the problem not the symptoms.  

Holding our leadership accountable with integrity is important.  No preacher, evangelist or other leader should be an island, accountable to no one but themselves.  We've seen the failing that come from lack of accountability before, we see it now (even in our capital) and we will reap the whirlwind if we continue to allow this unchecked condition to continue.</description>

		<description>I agree fully that we are all human. However, that does NOT automatically keep us from the consequences of our sin. I am praying for them but I am not making excuses. I cannot even do that for myself. We are human, yes, but we have the Holy Spirit living in us. I have been through some really tough marital issues and even relationships in general. How many times have I wanted to "let go" on ANYONE who treated me like dirt, even church leaders... I never punched them and stomped them, let alone my wife... There is accountability that has to come into play. I am NOT in anyway trying to disqualify him (or her) for any future ministry because God is about grace, but he must understand and live up to his actions like a man... I am so sick of all the defense for our black preachers when they "screw up" but we want to jump on the white ones for everything... PTL was no different than the mess we are seeing in Baltimore today... I will not go any further with that.</description>

		<description>When is there going to be some measure of accountability in the pulpit? Many of these leaders carry it like they are above the law (lawless).  If a regular person beat and stomped their wife, what would your reaction be?  Would it be so forgiving?  Would it be so understanding?  I'm not interested in condemning Bishop Weeks, but there must be accountability (and forgiveness and reconciliation).  When leaders fall, can they sit for a little bit (for accountability's sake)?  We still love you, and we forgive you (but it shows a much better example).  I hear Brother Khori about the Bible being an exposure book, but were the religious leaders exposed at that time before the people themselves?  Many people were exposed to us by God (but in a carnal sense many of their actions were not revealed to the unsuspecting masses).   This is definitely a season of exposure of the excesses of the pulpit.  Will there ever be accountability for adultery and the excessive love of money?  These are supposed to be requirements for religious leadership.  Is not the love of money the root of all evil (1 Tim. 6:9)?  Did not Yeshua (Jesus) say you cannot serve God and Mammon?  There are leaders in our midst that need to sit for a season (for their sins), and let us pray for them during this time so that can rise up that much stronger.  Food for thought: The United States (especially as reflected in cities such as Baltimore) has become like Sodom and Gomorrah.  How many righteous people were there in Sodom and Gomorrah?  LESS THAN TEN!  You cannot have the spread of evil without the absence of people standing up for righteousness.  Where are the righteous people in America?  Few and far between.  Contrary to the religious right, the chief sin of Sodom and Gomorrah was not homosexuality, it was greed (Ezekiel 16:49).  This greed is reflected in all of the Bishops that have recently fallen including Juanita Bynum herself.  You cannot serve God and Mammon!</description>

		<description>While I can understand why Nate would say that the exposure of our leaders as of late has been unprecedented, I truly have to disagree. This is far from unprecedented. It may seem so now because in our day and age word travels so fast and your private life can become public in the blink of an eye. But the truth is this has been happenning for a long time. We can look all througout the Bible and see exposure, thats what the bible is, one exposure book. God's people involved in all kinds of stuff. You name it, His people have done it. Lets face it if a play by play movie were made about the bible it would be rated "R". Over and over you see God's people running from Him, messing up, making mistakes. And the Lord chases them over and over and over again. Its called Redemption. God fixes what has been destroyed and His desire is to fix this too. We are all broken, hurting and fall short. Let me put the word out now for anyone who may be mistaken. Your leader is a fallen creature with sin in his or her life............. period. But may they be giving themselves over the God for redemption! Now matter how many times you mess up! He is waiting. Because thats what He does. Redeems over and over........... The Godly one is the one who keeps looking to Him. Regardless.</description>
