For those of you who have kept up with my life and ministry, you will have seen, things in my life have dramatically changed over the course of time.

I had asked The LORD in the beginning of the year if there was something that He wanted me to share with The Body of Believers in Christ.

During my of prayer, He spoke just as clearly as can be to me and said,  “Sherry… In all that you do, I want you to do ALL things as unto Me.”

Then The LORD had me look up the passages of Scripture that relate to this very thing below…

“And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to The LORD and not to men, knowing that from The LORD you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve The LORD Christ.”   Colossians 3:23-24 NKJV

And again, expanded below……

“Whatever you do [whatever your task may be], work from the soul [that is, put in your very best effort], as [something done] for The LORD and not for men, knowing [with all certainty] that it is from The LORD [not from men] that you will receive the inheritance which is your [greatest] reward. It is The LORD Christ whom you [actually] serve.”  Colossians 3:23-24 AMP

Little did I know how big of a Revelation that would become to me, and as I got home tonight after weeks of turmoil and still in hospitals, in service, being a servant in each situation of whatever was seen, heard, and felt.

For indeed, physically the good, bad, and the ugly has opened a whole new world of living the Christian lifestyle of service.

Jesus called the disciples to works of service for HIS Kingdom and not only did HE call, HE chose and HE, JESUS CHRIST demonstrated the lifestyle of a SERVANT.

My life as a believer and servant of God may not look or seem to be much too many people, because I have shied away from all the hoopla of a lot of various groups — that are all about themselves.

Most religious people think their staunch attitudes meet the standard of the status quo.  These are in all denominations and non-denominations who say they have the most articulated opinions or expressions of the Christian life and it’s our way or the highway!

A lot of Christians look at who has the most spirituality, or who can prophesy, or it is a total social scene in the clique and clubs of the who’s who, or whatever spiritual fluff they follow, so to be seen and to get the most importance from these groups or ministries.

It isn’t about who’s who, and all the cotton candy spiritual fluff having absolutely NO nutrients for true Spiritual growth!

Then they wonder why they burn out, and no one shows up at your house wondering why you are not there!  You were there for them, but they were never there for you dear one!  It is all about them!

I know this isn’t about me, never has nor will be.

I know that I am not typical, and am quite radical, and love Jesus with my whole heart, and I am who I am, and I am who GOD created me to be.

So today, for example, I was standing in the hall of a medical center, and a man I saw dressed in the whole pious show, clutching his notepad in hand.

I simply smiled and said, “You’re a preacher,” and for some reason he would not look in my eyes and he fumbled his answer and could not get away from me quick enough!

We must remember that religion kills, but the relationship with Christ lives, moves, and has our being! Everything we are, and everything we are not, we are The LORD’s, and HE can use us any way HE chooses no matter how odd we may seem to others!

Humility is a lifestyle of service all the days of our lives.  Humility is the mark of a true Minister of The Gospel, and that isn’t just leadership.

We are all called to minister to people in whatever way of service that may be — from the pulpit to digging ditches, or cutting grass for a sick neighbor, or caring for a lonely elderly woman or man, washing some clothes, or sending notes, or even wiping and cleaning unmentionables.  The list is endless — and noted by God!

The LORD said, “Do ALL things unto ME!”

Humility and Service go hand in hand.  So get out of that bed, come out of hiding and quit waiting on Church to come to you!

You be The Church that no one may see, but God sees it all!  It is not what you do in public that qualifies you to minister, it’s what you do in secret that matters, and The Father will reward you openly!

Stop waiting for The Church to come to you, and start being The Church!  Reach out and serve!

Whatever you do in all things do it as unto The LORD!  AND you do it out of your love for HIM not to attain manipulative heart strings or strategies to fit in cliques, and clubs, even in hidden places where no one sees what you do, give willingly, and fully, not as unto man, but in total surrender to nothingness, because our reward comes from Christ Jesus our LORD!

Just think of how many people’s lives will be changed when you do ALL things as unto The LORD!

He didn’t call you to fit in, He called you to be….  To be who you are in Christ and with what you have!

You are unique!  You are beautiful!  You are so valuable and wonderfully made!

Do you realize that you are a gift?  God wants to use you and give you out as a gift to others!

Just as you are and you don’t have to conform, just be and let God use you!

There are so many people around you who are treading water… Throw out that lifeline today!

As you serve, you are building The Kingdom of God.  As you throw out that lifeline, souls are saved and delivered!

People have asked me to predict what I think God has shown me about the year of 2023.  It is the year of coming into your prime….  the prime of Divine and Lifeline Service!

People run from service!  A servant will prepare a meal for 25 persons and do their best in serving, and not one stays to help clean a dish.

You see, this is only an example.  For it matters not.  Your Christianity is proven to God when you serve when no one is watching, and there is no glory in temporal life in washing a dish!

But to God, if you do ALL things unto Him, He rewards you with Himself.

Besides, the things that men want you to glory in, only glory in the flesh, they want the best seats, they want you to see how much they give and what they do for men’s admiration and account.

But the bottom line is, what God sees in secret will be rewarded, for you do it unto him as you serve.

Selfish people want you to come to them, but they won’t do anything unless you come to them.  They expect to receive from the flesh of man and we all know about religion don’t we?

We want religion, and I don’t care if they speak in tongues or prophecy, most want to be admired as they are lifted up in their pride and error in their congregations.  If you are in one of these places, RUN, RUN, and RUN!

Who are they?  They are all about who’s who and who will bend down and kiss, (I did not say that) kiss their feet being puffed up in their drunken pride, intoxicated minds, with their own sickening stench of the flesh!

Flesh will not inherit The Kingdom of God!  God doesn’t receive any of that as HIS ministry!  Religious formality with their beautiful buildings, padded and stinky pews all caught up in the spirit?

What spirit may I ask?  Selfish is opposite to service, both cannot function together.  We must take God’s Word seriously and study how Jesus lived life and taught us about service in all we do.  He came to seek and save the lost!

Our life is as a saver… You know like a life saver, yeah, just like the hoop they throw out when a person is drowning!

We are not only servants, but we are also life savers when we throw out the ring to live and not die and declare The Works of The LORD!

But there are many who are going down in the religious ships of life.  At least when a person jumps off that ship they can be saved and drawn into safety.

But there are those whom we must be aware of who are treading water and in need of the sustaining power that only Christ gives through the power of The Holy Spirit to reel them in!

Beloved of God, they are all around you and begin to look and ask The LORD if He wants to use you as that saving ring to rescue them and bring life to them.

Beloved God begins to serve with what you have.  The boy had five loaves and two fishes.  You use what you have, and God enlarges you!

Do you realize you carry within the sustaining life force in Christ Jesus!?

Now that is the revelation of 2023!

Do ALL things AS unto The LORD — in The Name of Jesus!

“No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God’s seed abides in him, and he cannot keep on sinning because he has been born of God,”   1 John 3:9 ESV.

“You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness. Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness beyond your companions,”    Psalm 45:7 ESV.

There are a lot of believers suffering within sin issues, and I want to encourage you today that first and foremost if you love God and His Word you HATE sin and all wickedness.

If you hate sin that proves you have been changed and belong to God.

Now ALL believers in Christ have had trials dealing with sin issues that arise as we grow in grace and in His knowledge in the Word of God.

For example, I had a very hard case in myself, being that I couldn’t forgive and held on to bitterness to someone who hurt me deeply.

I thought I would be stuck forever it seemed, but it was hard, but I did not give up.  I struggled a very long time, and I didn’t want them rooted in my heart! I was so serious and beloved it is going to take being very serious to be an overcomer in the days to come for it will cost believers in Christ our very life if need be.

I finally had an on the carpet moment! What I meant is, I got very serious and fasted and prayed and I desperately sought and asked God…. “God, I need your grace and favor to forgive and help me to dig and release all roots of bitterness within me, because I cannot do it myself!”

Each day I kept asking God, anytime I heard those words in my head that would prompt me into unforgiveness or bitterness, I would pray and ask God for his favor, HIS grace, and strength each day to overcome these sins! I got stronger and stronger as time went on but in all honesty of heart and mind, it wasn’t easy, and I struggled but I kept God in the struggle with me and I truly hated my sin.

Then one day I noticed that I had no more unforgiveness and bitterness about the person!

I was so relieved and surprised that they were gone, and I finally could forgive, and the root of bitterness had finally been dug out of my heart!

I think we need to be real with people, because nobody talks about the processes we go through to victory. People talk about how holy and good Paul was and I know he was.  But I can read between the lines, that man suffered for the gospel, and nobody can tell me different!

Sometimes our victories are moment by moment or some are demonstratively amazing, but no one truly knows the spiritual muscle you packed on when you conquered your sin moment by moment, or massive times of victory. In every case spiritual ground is won!

In closing, the bottom line is if we hate sin, we prove our love for God.  When we practice lawlessness or sin in whatever form, we prove we need correction and repentance, or we are a false believer. He who practices sin is not of God.

As a believer, you must not practice and live in wickedness and sin.  For example, if you say you love God and go to church but you believe God overlooks the fact that you go home and stay drunk, commit open fornication or homosexuality, and even expose your children to it?

Does this sound like reality to you?

“Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God,”   1 Corinthians 6:9-10 ESV.

“For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a fearful expectation of judgment, and a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries. Anyone who has set aside the law of Moses dies without mercy on the evidence of two or three witnesses. How much worse punishment, do you think, will be deserved by the one who has spurned the Son of God, and has profaned the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has outraged the Spirit of grace? For we know him who said, “Vengeance is mine; I will repay.” And again, “The Lord will judge his people…”   Hebrews 10:26-31 ESV.

First, please prayerfully read Romans 1.

God’s Wrath is being revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness.  We each are accountable for what we allow ourselves to be led into and out of.

It is important that you do not just take man at his word, or even when he prophecies, preaches, or teaches from a pulpit using a Bible!

These are very evil moments of time in the sands of the hourglass, and we do not have the time our predecessors had in making mistakes on timing! In many of our families we are the last one that will reach our family, and this is true for many.

How much more should we be taking time to pray daily and talk to our family members?  I have listened and heard with my own ears these very words for my family.

Imagine…. “God is saying you are the last that shall represent Me to your family and friends.”

If we would take these words seriously, we would do a lot of things differently!  (Yes, and many of you are considered the black sheep of your family, BUT GOD!)

Why?  Because of the men and women who “Who hold the truth in unrighteousness.”

All creation, and the whole world have clearly seen that HE is THE eternal power and Godhead, so they are ALL without excuse. (Romans 1:20)

When they knew God, they gave him no glory nor were they thankful and their wild imaginations and foolish heart became darkened.

They claimed to be wise, but their actions proved foolish.  They even tried to change the glory of the incorruptible God into an image like a corruptible man. (Romans 1:23)

These men and women who pretend to hold the truth of God in unrighteousness who take the Truth and twist it to mean what they want, and none are encouraged to seek out for themselves what The Bible says and means.

We have a responsibility to encourage the people to pray and study God’s Word for themselves.

And with full blown sin in motion as it is now in America and the World, the wrath of God is being revealed from heaven to those who in their wickedness suppress and stifle the truth.

There is no time in history that compares to this time, and I can guarantee one thing that it will get worse, and it will not get better.

Even Jesus said that! It is the time to fast and pray and seek The LORD for His direction and guidance.  It is time to pray for a family member until God releases you.

If you are sitting around waiting on things to get back to normal, I am sorry those days are gone forever!

This is the last curtain call for many and we are called to arms and to intercession!

Therefore, God gave them over to the lust of their own hearts.

We must remember that God is not tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone. But each is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. (James 1:14)

For God is my witness
In ALL the world it is written
His authority and divine plan of all time
Too many have given in to
The weight of lost hope and dreams
And filled with depression and silence it brings
For the hope deferred
Made the heart very fat and sick
Many shattered, scattered, silenced
On the eve of the greatest event of the millennia
Take it back believer again, take it back you soul to sing
Take it back and lift your head so you are not dead!
It is a new beginning a new horizon in view unlike anything
You could ever fathom or fictionally true
Beloved you are not forgotten although
You felt done, you even typed “DONE”
With script in hand, you silently gave in
To mediocrity but never could such a one
Be Done, for I AM the One for when the
Curtain call come and when it is time to close
“You will see Me beloved one, you will See Me,” says The LORD!

The Word of The LORD came unto me. 

“Come out from among those of this world and this worlds system and be ye separate,” says The LORD!  “And though iniquity is abounding, the love of many shall grow cold and calloused.”

We must not give in to what displeases God we must repent of all unbelief and doubt.

Be not disillusioned and do not cast away your confidence, for God will continue to show you the way but be not of an evil motive to not believe, and doubt His Words that are all holy and just and perfect.

“Take care, brethren, that there not be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart that falls away from the living God,”   Hebrews 3:12 KJV.

“For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,  But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.  He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:  Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?  For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith The LORD. And again, The LORD shall judge his people.  It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.  But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions;  Partly, whilst ye were made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst ye became companions of them that were so used.  For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance.  Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.  For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.  Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them th
