Cursing, Plotting Evil-doers -- Take Hold Of This

"See flipcard titles"

WARNING! For people who take it upon themselves to speak cursing or to plot evil against the just, the reality of The Eternal Advocate for the people of God is clear! ...

    By speaking evil and plotting wickedness, the unjust actually call down on their own heads the very afflictions that they, themselves, heap upon the just. For each wicked deed done and each wicked word spoken, the evil-doer will be judged and held to account… by God’s accounting.

          In The Psalms of God’s written Word, The LORD warns us, "The wicked plots against the just, and gnash upon him with his teeth (backbiting). The LORD shall laugh at him: for he sees that his day is coming. The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation. Their sword will enter into their own heart, and their bows will be broken (Psalm 37:12-15)."

          Also in The Psalms is an appeal from one who is recognizing that the final judgment and role of repaying evil-doers is God’s, not ours. “O LORD God, to Whom vengeance belongs;… They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood. But The LORD is my defense; and my God is The Rock of my refuge. And He shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; yea, The Lord our God shall cut them off (Psalm 94:1-23)."

          The second chapter of 1 John in The Holy Bible, God’s written Word, explains, "My little children, these things write I unto you, that you sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with The Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: And He is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. And hereby we do know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. He that says, I know Him, and keeps not His commandments, is a liar, and the Truth (Holy Spirit of Christ) is not in him. But whoso keeps His (God’s) Word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in Him (1 John 2:1-5)."

          The Great News from The LORD is that God’s people have an eternal Advocate, an everlasting Attorney, to represent us, “And this is the promise that He has promised us, even eternal life (1 John 2:25)”… His Name is Jesus Christ! “… If you know that He is righteous, you know that every one that does righteousness is born of Him (1 John 2:27-29).”

          Hold your tongue because... your very LIFE depends on it! If we will turn from our wicked ways, repent for our destructive words and deeds against God and His Truth-loving people, and ask Jesus Christ to please forgive us... He will!

          Before closing, below are a few more “gold nuggets” from God’s written Word to take away from this blogpost, to prayerfully be encouraged in your faith, today...

          Remember Solomon’s consideration of life of emptiness without a relationship with God? God led King Solomon to the assessment that life on earth is unjust... oppression continues, the wicked prosper, the fruits of a man’s labor pass beyond his control, and... “It is good that you should take hold of this; yea, also from this withdraw not your hand: for he that fears God shall come forth of them all. Wisdom strengthens the wise more than ten mighty men which are in the city. For there is not a just man upon earth, that does good, and sins not. Also take no heed unto all words that are spoken; lest you hear your servant curse you: For oftentimes also your own heart knows that you yourself likewise have cursed others (Ecclesiastes 7:18-22).”

          Believers everywhere commonly relate to Psalm 119. “Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept Your word. YOU are good, and doest good; teach me Your statutes. The proud have forged a lie against me: but I will keep Your precepts with my whole heart (Psalm 119:67-69).” (Selah)

          “The proud have dug pits for me, which are not after Your (God’s) law. All Your commandments are faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; (Lord) please help me. They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not Your precepts. Quicken me after Your lovingkindness; so shall I keep the testimony of Your mouth. For ever, O Lord, Your word is settled in heaven (Psalm 119:85-89).” Amen and Amen!

          Always remember and never forget: As Believers in Jesus Christ we are never alone! Each one of us is intricately important in God's infinitely wonder-filled family and membership plan. God’s passionate dream is for us to "work with Jesus Christ and The wonder-full Holy Spirit" to Glorify Him in the eyes, ears, and lives of people everywhere, and to invite and lead whosoever that will come into the pursuit of Oneness In Jesus Christ. Our Father’s purpose in all of this is for each one of us together with “The Holy Trinity” to get to enjoy true fulfillment, fullness of life, and wholeness in Life with God as Jesus Christ gave His life to provide! And anyone who calls on Jesus Christ’s Holy Name can partake in giving their Life wholly to The LORD God, through Him, by the leading of The Holy Spirit. Selah.

          We pray that our brief message here will encourage you today, as never before, so much so that you will get your Bible, go find a quite place to position yourself in the pages of God's Holy written word, and ask The wonder-full Holy Spirit, in Jesus Christ's Holy Name, to meet with you there and reveal to you "what God sees when He looks at you." When The Holy Spirit personally relays to you "all" that you mean to God, the infinite love that He has for you personally and the position of honor and privilege that He has intricately designed and created you to perform and eventually fulfill "with Him" in His overall plan for His infinitely wonder-full creation, you will then learn what it truly means... to be born again.

In this Time of War “our Prayers must be Mighty through God...”

”For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh… (2 Corinthians 10:3-6).”

 

  "See flipcard titles"

 

 

For several months we have earnestly asked God for His wisdom as we pray, asking for a strategic, militant way to pray with greater effectiveness. We have been asking this with our hearts focused on a passionate desire for those in the world who relinquished their lives over to Satan to kill, steal from, and destroy the American people, that they would experience both “conviction” and “Satan’s condemnation” as the bitter fruit of their wicked seed, so that repentance might be worked in them. As a result, The Holy Spirit awakened me (Keith) at about 4am one morning with the answer to our fervent request for strategic instructions for the way to pray.

The Holy Spirit came to tell me how we can pray to break the demonic stronghold off of those who are Satan's human accomplices, so that they might repent and come to Jesus Christ. That morning, The Holy Spirit said, "When you pray, command in Jesus Christ's Holy Name, and by His Authority, that all who are the devil's human accomplices, all who occupy seats of authority, elected and otherwise, be turned over to Satan for a season that his condemnation will work repentance in them... that they might call on Jesus Christ's Holy Name and be saved.”

We pray that this testimony and message will serve to encourage you, to fan the flame in your spirit as you are pressing forward to fulfill, with The Holy Trinity, the unique part that you, and only you, are fearfully and wonderfully made to fulfill.

Along with the testimony, and the above command from The Holy Spirit, we want to also share with you the following passages of Scripture that He illuminated to me early that morning as well. These passages have increased my understanding beautifully, reinforcing the way He provided for us to pray. These are Biblical truths concerning the authority that Jesus Christ makes available to us as "Believing Believers", truths that are in God's Holy written Word for imparting to us Jesus Christ's strength, courage, wisdom, peace, and joy for the fulfillment of God's dream in the earth.

In Ephesians 6:11-20 Apostle Paul instructs us to, "Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open* my mouth boldly*, to make known the mystery of the gospel, For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak."

In Matthew 10:7-8 Jesus Christ instructs us, "And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give."

In Luke 9:1, "Then He (Jesus Christ) called His twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases."

In 1 Corinthians 5:3-5 Apostle Paul guides us, "For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed, in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, to deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of The Lord Jesus."

In 2 Corinthians 10:3-6 Apostle Paul teaches, "For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled."

In John 5:24-27 Jesus tells us, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth My Word, and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of The Son of God: and they that hear shall live. For as The Father hath life in Himself; so hath He given to The Son to have life in Himself; And hath given Him Authority to execute judgment also, because He is The Son of man."

In Mark 1:27 about Authority in Jesus, "And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine [is] this? for with Authority commandeth He even the unclean spirits, and they do obey Him."

In Mark 1:21-22 on Authority, "And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the Sabbath day He entered into the synagogue, and taught. And they were astonished at His doctrine: for He taught them as one that had Authority, and not as the scribes."

In Romans 2:13 Apostle Paul teaches us, "For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified."

In 1 Corinthians 5:4-5 Apostle Paul says, "In the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of The Lord Jesus."

In Matthew 28:16-20 The Holy Trinity leads us by example, "Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. And when they saw Him, they worshipped Him: but some doubted. And Jesus came and spoke unto them, saying, 'All power is given unto Me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of The Father, and of The Son, and of The Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen."

While in this time of war, in the spiritual and natural realms, we must continuously remind ourselves and those around us that we are, in fact, NOT without “full armor” protection from Satan and his wicked spirits. Nor are we without impenetrable armament and offensive weaponry. God's weaponry and armament are, in fact, what far exceeds anything the enemies of God have available to them. Remember, "where sin abounds, grace does much more abound (see Romans 5:1-21)."

We must remind ourselves to read over and over, and remember, all of the wonder-filled promises that Jesus Christ provides for us in God's Holy written Word, and take time to remind those around us to firmly hold on to those promises. And, as a defining take-away from this message, take note and apply Matthew 18:18-20, "Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of My Father which is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in My name, there am I in the midst of them."

Thank you for your friendship as we continue working steadfastly on God’s fields of battle and harvest in the mighty Name of The Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,

God Is Redeeming America From Bondage

Being alive to witness this once-in-a-lifetime move of God to redeem America is like supernaturally witnessing God repeating history... America's modern-day "Exodus" from bondage to FREEDOM!

"And The LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of My people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows; And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey;... (Exodus 3:7-8)."

Wow, look what God has done and is doing! We are watching the return of free speech and Christian values, encouraging the spread of The Gospel of Jesus Christ and The Gospel He preached. Now is our once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Our team and family at Toward The Mark is calling on every Christian to become and remain vigilant and committed to God's divine plan for our beloved nation.

Just as God watched over and listened to His people who were in bondage to the taskmasters in Egypt, He has been watching over and listening to His beloved people who had been oppressed and suffering, praying and fasting for His divine intervention in modern America. God has heard the cries of His sons and daughters, going through all manner of affliction at the hands of the lies, manipulations, thievery, murders, and wickedness all across "His America" and throughout the world. Are you seeing the evidence now, our Father God's work to restore all that has been ruined, corrupted, and stolen by the hands of Satan's human accomplices in the previous administration in Washington and throughout each state? Our opportunity is so great right now to increase our praying, fasting, and uniting in support of the newly-established administration under our 47th POTUS Donald J. Trump, by urging believers everywhere, at home and abroad, to focus on seeking God's divine wisdom and fortified protection for our new national leaders. This is the next phase of doing our part while God is redeeming America, a repeat of history in this modern-day exodus from bondage to freedom calling for unity, together, petitioning God for a healed, renewed, and righteous America.

There is something else that is crucially important for us to point out here. God has been listening to and hearing the prayers of His faithful ones, those still living and breathing on the earth, and those whose spirits have gone up before His Throne, sadly, before their time. With the testimonies of millions of lives that have been cut short, precious lives that have been stolen, God has been listening to their cries, attesting to the evils done to them and to the evils now being done to their loved ones who are still on the earth.

As a result of His hearing the cries of His people, God has been raising up His Army of "deliverers" to redeem His America, on His behalf. By way of His wonder-full Holy Spirit, God has raised up and revealed His skilled Army of individuals, with many more warrior-saints whom God has yet to reveal, and He is delivering His people... "to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey (Exodus 3:7-8)."

Throughout the year of 2024, in particular, countless individuals who love God and His Word, and who cherish the United States and our U.S. Constitution, had been taking every possible opportunity to help friends, family, and acquaintances become more knowledgeable about Mr. Trump and our U.S. Constitution. Leading up to the 2024 election, many friends and neighbors that were "on the fence", so to speak, received knocks on their doors, phone calls, and social media posts to be more informed about just how crucial our winning the 2024 election with Mr. Trump was, not just for America but for the entire world.

Now that Mr. Trump is occupying his rightful office, and his cabinet members are moving into their positions, settling into their responsibilities, it is now important that we refocus and re-tool. We must refocus the "campaign tools" we used before Mr. Trump and other conservative candidates were elected, applying those "efforts, energy, time, and focus" toward praying and fasting for God's wisdom, protection, knowledge, and guidance to work in and around His vessels, enacting His Plan and Will through President Trump and his cabinet members, the congress, senate members, and all of their staff and families.

So, our next mission here at Toward The Mark, on the political front, is to spread one crucial point; "Success going forward requires that our ministry team and family refocus and re-tool for this next phase as God is redeeming America, a repeat of history in this modern-day exodus from bondage to freedom. Now that the election and inauguration of President Trump is done, we must redirect our fasting and our time in prayer toward petitioning our Father daily for a fresh anointing, and protection of that fresh anointing, on each of those whom He has raised up, and so miraculously placed into leadership roles, in His United States of America.

Please stand with us in prayer every day for those who have been witnessing God's moving so miraculously over His America. We are praying that all Americans will become strong in The LORD, that they will award the credit to where the credit is due, and that they not allow themselves to become distracted away from the fact that it has been God, Jesus Christ, and The Holy Spirit working through His willing vessels -President Donald Trump and others- to save our Republic from what was just inches from a catastrophic demise.

With the recent inauguration of President Trump, we are already seeing new doors of opportunity opening for sharing The Gospel of Jesus Christ on many fronts. Free speech is once again on the side of those who are called by God to spread His Word, written and spoken, about Jesus Christ and The wonder-full Holy Spirit. As we see the walls to secure our southern border resume construction in the natural realm, finally being built up once again, we are seeing the walls that the previous administration had built over the past four years in the spirit realm, being torn down. No longer will the spread of The Gospel of Jesus Christ be hindered as it had been over the past four years. Together, we will seize every opportunity to use the "free speech" God so graciously granted to us to glorify His Son!

As we join forces to stand in the gap for the Presidential Cabinet, let's be sure to pray for each one by name, often every day, that they depend on God and His Word for guidance and direction on the impact each of President Trump's leaders will have on the everyday lives of each and every American. The photos and details below this text can help us as we pray for each one of them, and their roles and responsibilities.

Thank you so much for taking this time to hear our collective hearts on all that God has done, is doing, and has planned for our ministry family in the coming months. Please remember, by standing with us prayerfully and financially, you too will receive a commission on that great and glorious day for all that we have accomplished as a team and family to glorify Jesus Christ before He returns. So please, stay focused on Jesus Christ daily, walk daily in God-pleasing faith, pray without ceasing, and know that you play a crucial role in what God is doing right now to heal and rebuild America!

From the bottom of our hearts we thank you for loving us, teaming with us, and being ALL IN on this final harvest of souls for the Kingdom of God. By our praying for one another and by sowing our individual life experiences, talents, time, and seed into our reaching toward the goals God has given us, we will benefit, together, in the sweet fruit and inheritance of our Father's Kingdom that will abound to each of our accounts in Heaven. With our heartfelt love we express our eternal appreciation for your taking part in this work of TowardTheMark Inc. We close with this encouragement for you to STAY FOCUSED on Jesus Christ daily, pursuing Him and hearing His Voice. There is nothing "of this natural world" that will last, but "the treasures in the spirit" we will take into eternity with us, being the fruit of everything we do while we are alive and living "in this world". With that, we take joy in sharing this sort-of "gold nugget" of reassurance for your "mission ahead" with The Holy Spirit. This Pressin'IN message is a result of our waiting on The Holy Spirit to fill and lead us in the season of hope and healing we are in. Especially among the uncertainty, confusion, and fear surrounding events of our country, we continue to ask that our Father God, by the fulfillment of The Holy Spirit of Christ Jesus, give you reassurance of His plan for your life during this journey ahead, this new season when God is redeeming America, a repeat of history in this modern-day exodus from bondage to freedom all about:

~ giving God our ALL, including in sacrifices of praise and thanksgiving;

~ standing together in faith-full service to God and others;

~ keeping our eyes on God’s plan; and

~ making absolutely sure we come through by never losing sight of "The One" Who actually brought us through—Jesus Christ.

Our prayers are fueled with hope and expectation for fulfilling our spiritual assignments in this world, through sharing The Gospel of Jesus Christ and The Gospel Jesus Christ preached... greater than ever before!

If you have yet to invite Jesus Christ into your heart to be your Lord and Savior, or if you have allowed something or someone to come between you and God, now is your time to get right with God. Right there where you are, pray this prayer to God, then REST-ASSURED and watch what God does...

          "Dear Father God, in the precious Name of Jesus Christ, the King of all kings and The LORD of all lords, I lay my life at Your Feet. I come before You, confessing that I am a sinner, and I ask for You to forgive me of all my sins - those that I know I have committed, as well as those that I am not even aware of. I ask that You come into my heart and be my Lord. I lay my life, and everything in it, at Your Feet, and ask that You please take me and begin to change me to be like YOU. I ask that You redeem the time that has passed, and allow me the opportunity to become exactly what You have predestined me to be, from before the foundation of the earth. I commit my life to You now, and thank You for receiving me as Your own. In the wonderful Name of Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God, I pray, Amen." And AMEN (So be it)!

            WELCOME HOME!

            If you have just prayed this prayer, we want to congratulate you for making the greatest decision that you'll ever make! By accepting Jesus Christ, or rededicating your life to Him, as your personal Lord and Savior, you have begun the wonder-full process of being grafted into the family of God, and we welcome you "Home" to God's Family. We would also like to invite you to contact us so that we can send you information that will help you begin growing in your relationship and daily walk with God. We would encourage you to begin attending a Holy-Spirit-filled, full-Bible focused church right away.

            We advise you to begin reading The Holy Bible daily, whether you understand it or not. Always remember, God's written Word in The Holy Bible is LIKE NO OTHER BOOK that has ever been written! When we rendezvous with The Person of The Holy Spirit as we read what God has written there, it becomes stored in our heart for The Holy Spirit to access it and bring it back to our remembrance. You will find that the Scriptures will become applicable to whatever you are going through, at any given time!

            There are wonderful Bible teachers that can, especially early in your walk with God, help you to receive good teaching and encouragement right away. Though informative, those Bible-teaching programs are never meant to be a substitute for close relationships with people who love and serve God. At times, the transformation process that you have now begun will be difficult, and you will be tempted to go back to your old ways of living your old life. It will be during times like these that hanging out with strong Christian friends and mentors will be crucially important. There really IS strength in numbers! (Selah)

            And remember... growing in Godliness requires purity of focus, staying steadfast, immovable, and uncompromising in the faith of Jesus Christ, and now more than ever, no matter what, Keep PRESSIN' IN! You might consider using our book  LETTERS FROM THE FRONT, the special collection of keys to defeating hindrances that have kept many of God's servants from walking with the confidence and authority that Jesus Christ died to provide for us! Twelve life-changing chapters include:

	;
Sin Makes Ya Stewpit!	The Cart's Before the Horse
The Crisis of Eroding Integrity	The Fruit's on the End of the Limb
Too Quick to Compromise	The Rarest of All Breeds!
Please...Stop Stinkin'	Three Keys to God-Pleasing Faith
Let It Go	Understanding the Fear of The Lord
Into the Secret Place	Give to Give

  To help you further your fight to victory through the battles that confront every one of us in these turbulent times we live in, get your copy of our book, " LETTERS FROM THE FRONT." In this collection of 12 letters written from the front lines of battle fought in the spiritual, natural, and theater of the mind, Keith's Scripture messages will build your faith and help you reach God's full potential for your life. Request your
