Update in MInistry Activities…
Ken Campbell Ministries is an extension and reorganization of both the Innercity Dynamics Outreach, Inc. ministries and Good Ground Ministries, East St. Louis, Illinois 1991- 2006..
I just completed ministering and Pastoring a powerful 12 week Peace, Purpose, and Provision Anointing and Fellowship which was conducted the First and Third Saturdays of each month which began December 30, 2006 at the Faith Christian Church, a marvelous $3.5 million dollar facility that the Lord gave us favor with where Bishop B. Dunn is the Pastor, and concluded at the North Ministry Presbyterian church in North St. Louis, county, where Carleton Stock is the Pastor. . We averaged about 25 -30 youth and several adults attending and the Lord always performs marvelous things by his Spirit at all the meetings!
The “Peace, Purpose, and Provision” teaching is something the Lord gave me to share with the children, Young adults, and adults involved in our ministry, and the body of Christ in particular, emphasizing the order of God's blessings being released within our lives.
It is based upon scripture declared in Matthew 6:33, Luke 6:38, Proverbs 19:21, Philippians 4: 17 -19, 2 Corinthians chapter 9 with the emphasis on verse 12, and Acts 20:35. This last scripture emphasizes that Gods abundance and favor is first “Graced” and released unto to us freely through our “seeds” that we sow first, with the understanding that this opens up the “favor portal” of provisions for our purpose and aspirations.
Prayer and acknowledging the Word of God over each seed sown releases the favor to “seek us out” for blessing! I have been ministering this anointing for about 6 months and many miracles have transpired as a result.
Most people, just as I formerly pursued in times past, first “wrote our vision down and made it plain to others", then sought "Provision" (I need money) in order to "pursue or finance a purpose or a vision”, and as a result, we can obtain "peace" that we have the resources to implement our vision when it is accomplished.
The Lord taught me by the Word of God and personally by his Spirit, with experience, that this way of doing things was essentially "backwards" and that the order for His word which declares, "The blessings of the Lord makes us Rich and adds no sorrow with it" is achieved by "Seeking first the "Dominion of the King" (Jesus) and his Righteousness (way of doing things and his equity freely given to us), and all these "Things" (Purpose and Provision) will be added unto us. Matthew 6:33, Proverbs 10:22
The "Peace" is based upon the need for understanding and receiving the unconditional Love of God (salvation in Jesus Christ) first and foremost. Upon this “divine re-connection”, the peace of God within the heart accompanies the “salvation” and validates its authenticity and begins to "attract" the components of "Purpose" and "Provision" in our lives.
After this, a personal understanding, direction, and guidance is then freely released into the heart concerning the “purpose” goals, aspirations, and dreams, that each individual aspires, or are gifted to do in this life. The “gift”, as scripture teaches, “will make room for them”, and this means that the “provisions”, including the networks, proper people, and financial needs necessary to carry out the purpose, are attracted in the “paths“ of their lives. Proverbs 18:16, Proverbs 19:21, Matthew 6:33
We now understand that in accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and savior, and trusting in "his" faith freely given to us, and simply walk in Kingdom Principles by following his word, that passions and dreams will be birthed from the Spirit of Christ into our hearts (private inner self talk) and souls (mind, wills, and emotions). Galatians 2:20
When this is done in simple sincerity, purpose is imparted to us and revealed in us. Then as we follow Christ, by walking in Kingdom Principles, we will not have to worry or be concerned about how it is going to unfold and happen. Your gift will make room for you and the provisions will be attracted to you or lead you to the supply. (Philippians 4:19) The Lord already has people, angels, situations, and an anointing waiting for your arrival when the Peace, Purpose, and Provision anointing is understood, prioritized, and pursued. Matt. 6:33..
We know that God (whom is Love, 1 John 4:8), already has people in place to complete that which he has planned for a life and we are actually experiencing it daily! Scripture (God’s divine breathed expression concerning you) confirms this in Jeremiah 29:11, “I know the thoughts I Have towards you says the Lord. They are always thoughts of Peace, and never of evil.. thoughts of peace and love aimed at your heart, to give you an expected, successful end."
A FEW TESTIMONIES...
Within this anointing over the last four months, I have valid testimonies from some of our supporters where a ladies broken hip was instantly healed after prayer, a woman with an arm that was paralyzed for 5 years was healed instantly, a woman who was given a hundred dollars was saved after being refused by the giver to accept it back, and two people were sent home after being healed in a nursing home in Kansas! Also over 30 people in our ministry have been led to receive Christ as their savior during this time!
Additionally, anyone that sows into this Grace and anointing of the Lord in our midst are being tremendously blessed ! Brother Tracy Fisher of the Covenant Foods company in St. Louis, Missouri has also given us gifts of more than $2,000 worth of food for our programs (called "The Winners Luncheon and Discipleship Fellowship"..
Food gifts of cases of quarter pound beef hot dogs, bratwurst, 16 inch pepperoni pizzas, 12 inch cheese pizzas, 8 inch pizzas, several cases of push up ice cream units, Popsicles, cookie dough for baking cookies, 6 pound snickers candy bar cheesecakes, several cases of individual unit cheesecakes, juice, as well as cash gifts,) and as a result has just received the biggest deal of his Businesses endeavors.. It is a fact that if anyone gives to our mandates that eh Lord is releasing uncommon blessings to those that can perceive that sowing into Good Ground will return many harvests of blessings.. Luke 6:38
Also about 20 of our youth involved in the ministry have found money ranging from $1, $5, $10,$20, $35, and another $60. One of my associate ministers, whom is also an armed security guard found $20 after he got off work, and my associate pastor, Gary Nobles "found" $20 in his wallet as I did with $5 in mine!
Besides this over $3,100 of additional financial "gifts" have been “given to me“ personally from others that said, "the Lord told me to give you this and that". This also includes new clothing, hats, shoes, and food! This anointing is a result of the scriptures where God promised those whom follow hard after him would find "hidden treasures." It has and is happening in our midst! Isaiah 45:3
I am being blessed and seeing others blessed beyond measure in not only financial miracles but also physical healing, inner peace, direction, contentment, and understanding increased! because it is just the goodness of God being poured out amongst us in all areas of our lives and not because we are so smart or holy. There is an anointing is both giving and receiving within the Peace, Purpose, and Provision Anointing, when prayer is initiated over each blessing and gift.
Taking Authority over the Weather…
I came to Rochester, Washington (an outskirt town from Seattle, Washington) 9 July, 2008 from East St. Louis/ St. Louis, Missouri and found the weather here around 30 degrees lower in the morning and about 20 degrees lower in the afternoon’s and evenings, than I was used to in the Midwest. It was quite strange to wake up in the mornings to 41 - 55 degree temperatures here whereas in the Midwest perhaps a minimum 72 - 80 degrees would greet me each morning..
My wife and I have taken authority over the weather in this area according to Mark 11:23,24 and Gen. 8:22.. The temperatures have been warmer than usual without the frequent rain and chili evenings. As a matter of fact we took authority, prayed, and sent forth ministering angels to manifest at least an 80 degree temperature on our wedding day which was held outside at 7:30 pm the evening of July 21, 2008!
It reached 82 degrees that evening and stayed nice and warm until around 11:pm that night! Three times it started to rain since the 16th of July here but we stood on the Word and each time we took authority, the “trickling” rain stopped, the clouds moved, and the sun came bursting forth!
Both the local weather forecasters and people in the area have been commenting about record high temperatures in the area and how nice it is for "summer" weather. It is such a blessing to see all the children now enjoying the swimming pools in their yards each day and the afternoons instead of the kids having to wear sweaters, jackets, and even coats in some cases in the afternoon summer months!
Taking authority over the weather, I believe, is a result of scripture that teaches, “the whole earth is lying in wait for the manifestation of the sons of God” to take authority over the elements of the earth and other circumstances that exalt itself against the realm of the Kingdom of God that lives within us and seeks to release its power in our lives within the earth! Praise God! His Word Works if we will work the Word! (Check the Rochester weather since July 10, 2008 to verify)
Lady Healed from Possible Breast Cancer Symptoms..
A 35 year old Rochester, Washington woman whom had a history of breast cancer in her family and that was having trouble with a leakage in her breasts was totally restored and healed after prayer during the third week of October, 2007.
She was prayed for over the telephone by one of the associates of the Zoe Youth Ministries and the next day she testified that the leakage had stopped completely and she was feeling absolutely perfect! Wow! God certainly sent his word and healed her from all destruction! God is Good and his Word will work for you! Is. 53:5.
I (we) simply “respond to what God has already offered” (this is the essence of faith) by "sowing" into the lives of others with our time, prayers, and finances, and the Lord does the rest. As we seek to "be a blessing and a channel for the blessings of God to bless others and the furthering of the Gospel of Jesus Christ", and being "other person centered", knowing that this is the order of the Kingdom posture and principles of "Peace, Purpose, and Provision", we can say with assurance, "This is the Lords doing and it is marvelous in our eyes." This is God's idea and his way of doing things. We deserve no credit and give God the Glory with continual sowing and thanksgiving. Matthew 22:42, Luke 6:38. Galatians 6:7
I also want you to know that in the Jewish tradition it is said that when someone hears of the blessings others experience they are being "positioned" to be Graced in the midst of similar blessings in their lives as well. I believe that this is why I am sharing these brief testimonies with you...
In Christ, Kenneth Bleu,
Jer. 29:11 "I know the thoughts I Have towards you says the Lord. They are always thoughts of Peace, and never of evil.. thoughts of peace and love aimed at your heart, to give you an expected, successful end."
Wisdom to Live By
By Ken Bleu Campbell
The statement, “What Goes Around; Comes Around is a commonly uttered thing in all of the innercity’s of America, but is usually uttered only when “somebody does somebody else wrong”.This is no more than the biblical truth of, “God is not mocked, Whatever a person “sows” that will he also reap”..(Galatians 6:7)
But if people really believed that “What goes around really does Come back around”, they would also know that this same principle can be exercised in a positive manner, on purpose, as well.
The law of reaping and sowing as recorded in Galatians 6:7 is not a threat by God for “humanity to get there act right or else” as some religions purport, but rather a principle anyone can purposely initiate to ensure that what one “puts out”, they will attract back into their lives..
This means that anyone can “sow” and “give” on purpose and expect a “return” in kind of what is given.The problem with this truth is that most people sow “accidentally” because they do not realize that there is such a law.
The simplicity of this task is that our part is to plant the “seeds” or giving and the “Universes” (Father Elohim) task is to see to it that the seeds sown grow and mature.But if the “seeds” sown and given are of a “negative” nature, these “seed” will still germinate and manifest as “weeds” and “negative” circumstances.
Due to the ignorance of this biblical truth, a great Number of people reared in the innercity have “Borrowed” the Belief, “If it were not for bad luck, I wouldn’t have "no" luck at all.” This belief has been handed down through generations and accepted as indisputable fact.Those that did not know how to “sow on purpose” became victims of the same law that is responsible for attracting only what is “sown” or given. The law is so absolute that even money and other tangible objects are subject to it.
If one desired to increase their income, for example, they would begin to give financially to ministries or other constructive, benevolent organizations.This kind of giving is similar to plantingvegetable seeds in a garden and expecting a later harvest.
By applying this powerful principle in the area of attracting Love and Friendships, one need only to “give” (plant first) what one desires in return (later harvest).This principle never fails to multiply the exact “kind” and “spiritual level” of all actions, words, deeds, and thinking patterns “sown”.Ask yourself this question.Am I sowing on purpose by accident? Luke 6:38
Sowing and Tithing, It Works!

Many of the inner-cities in the United States
have become nothing short of a war zone. The enemy has declared war on
these areas and isn't holding back, attacking the family, children, and
specifically the youth, both spiritually and naturally with
unemployment, alcoholism, hopelessness, gang, and drug activities.
However, the devil already lost this war when Jesus Christ died on the
Cross-at Calvary
by taking the sins of the world, and rising triumphantly from the dead
after three days. One ministry that is uncompromisingly committed to
proclaiming the victory of Jesus to the hurting and the lost in the
innercity is the ministry ofKen 'Brother Bleu'
Campbell of Good Ground Ministries, formally known as Innercity
Dynamics Outreach Ministries, Incorporated. The ministry based in East St. Louis, Illinois, is called by many, the 'I'm Tired of TrippingCenter”.
Throughout
my association with Ken, I have found him to be committed to the
restoration of all things back unto God by sharing the good news of
Jesus Christ in an unorthodox, non-traditional, yet powerfully unique,
culturally palatable, anointed way. "Brother True Bleu" as he is
affectionately called by many, is a vibrant and compelling minister of
the Gospel with a heart for the hurting, not only for those of his own
ethnicity but for all those whom he may encounter. He has mentored many
brothers and sisters in the community who have continued in his
footsteps and now have their own similar outreach ministries. With an
extraordinary command of God's Word, Ken ministers the Grace of God to
the 'hardhearted' with acumen that is culturally palatable and uniquely
expressive.
Because of his overwhelming burden to see people
succeed and souls saved, Ken started Inner-city Dynamics Outreach
Ministries, Incorporating as a non-profit charitable organization, in
the state of Illinois, in 1991. Subsequently, the ministry became known and reorganized as Good Ground Ministries, East St. Louis, Illinois, in 1997.
One
of the most noticeable and strong points of Brother Bleu's ministry in
particular is that it disciples the new believers so that they can
develop ministries of their own for the purpose of reaching those with
whom they have associations, most of which will never be reached by the
church. Ken's house was frequented so much by those who were hurting,
saved, or edified, that it was labeled The I'm Tired of
Tripping' Center, a colloquial term that essentially means "A Place to
Find Peace”. Those that were hurting, hopeless, depressed, hungry,
addicted to drugs, or confused about life, always seemed to find out
about the ministry through someone else that was helped.
There
were also several people from other countries that were ministered to
in this house, many of which spoke no English! Some of the countries
include Columbia, South America, Honduras, Cuba, and Panama.
Only God knows how so many different ethnicities came to this home that
is essentially in the middle of the Inner-city, also called the 'hood'
(neighborhood).His vision has remained the same over the years and that
is to continue an outworking of the Gospel that touches people’s lives,
that they may be equipped to be a living testimony in their communities
and in their journeys outside of them.Changed lives are an indisputable witness to the power of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.Ken Bleu Campbell Ministries, a.k.a. Good Ground Ministries, is bearing much fruit to the Glory (manifested presence) of God by making a difference through the Word of God, the anointing, and leading of the Holy Spirit, one life at a time.
Another
way in which this ministry has been affecting its community is through
Good Ground Videos, which formerly operated out of a store front
establishment in downtown, East St. Louis.
This is an outreach in which Christian, family, educational, business,
instructional, Black History, and Gospel music videos, Books on
Cassette Tape, and Teaching Cassettes are made available to the public
on a rental basis. The operation known as Good Ground Rentals compiled
about 150 regular members monthly. The ministry alsobranched out internationally with display advertising in the popular Christian magazines, Charisma, Ministries Today, and NewMan.
A tremendous response has been experienced and the lives that could be
and have been touched by these efforts is impossible to calculate.
Ken received responses from over 200 people during this campaign including 45 responses from other countries worldwide.Many were supplied with Christian and Educational Videos, Books, and other assistance. This list includes Jerusalem, Tuhgben West Africa, SenegalWest Africa, Germany, India, Pago Pago, and MauritiusIndian Ocean.Christian,
Children's, Educational, and Instructional Videos, and even money were
sent to several of these countries requesting charity and help with
their Ministries.
One
of the ministers that teamed with Ken is Pastor Ron Haynes, labeled by
many prominent national ministers, "the Billy Graham of inner-city
evangelism". Ron was a 20 year veteran of street and inner-city
evangelism when he and Ken met in 1987 at a Sunday evening church
service. They were Introduced by Rev. Henry Phillips, (Power of Change Ministries, Cahokia, Illinois) just
prior to Ken's Assistant Pastoral position at the 15th Baptist Church
in East St.Louis, the two found out that they shared a compassion for
the hurting in the inner-city.
During this partnership many were saved and the newly saved were being refreshed and edified.Some of the cities that street and indoor rallies were conducted by the team with great success were Chicago, Alton, Jacksonville, Atlanta, St. Louis, East St. Louis, Cahokia, Illinois, and other cities.The
ministry has been effective in evangelism through street rallies as
well as one on one personal prophetic ministry and counseling at it's
domestic residence, church fellowships, Ministry Conferences, or
randomly on the streets. In the street rallies, one of which I have
been blessed to personally participate, Ken sets up his conga drums
with his Latin Jazz Band or by playing to up tempo contemporary
Christian music over the P.A. system on the street. As the music is
going forth, Dr. Ron Haynes follows by preach/'rapping' and attracts a
crowd that is both amused and curios.
As the street rally winds
down, Apostle Ron passes the microphone to Ken and people are coming
from the corner or out of the housing projects cracks and crevices to
see what's going on. As the people come nearer to the festivities, they
will find out that the words being rapped about and sung are an "Afro
centric" style of presenting Jesus Christ. As the ministry thrusts
forward people are excepting Christ and being saved and delivered right
there in the streets!
An important element in this technique
is that it is culturally palatable and relevant to the times through
Rap, Jazz, Latin, and R&B music styles, together with colloquial
lingo being used. Yet, this method of ministering retains the essence
of the eternal and unchanging message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and
the Word of God.
Holding a typical church or tent meeting wouldn't gather or attract the attention of those thatknow absolutely nothing about the gospel.Many , however, will respond to this kind of evangelism.As
the anointing of Grace (enabling power) is released through the
preaching of the street ministers, it is common to see tears streaming
down many faces, as people both intoxicated and sober, end up praying
in sincerity and accepting Jesus Christ as their personal savior.
The
ministry of Brother Bleu aka Kenny Candela, and associates has not kept
itself hidden within the four walls of a church building or behind a
desk and out of touch with the hurting. Many who don't attend any kind
of church except during a funeral or wedding were reached through
conducting the outdoor street rallies. This is a ministry with a burden
for the lost hopeless, spiritually unfilled, untutored, and is
presenting the Gospel through culturally relevant, yet, powerfully
anointed innovative formats. Ken
Bleu's zealous pursuit of the purpose of God within his own life has
caused a refreshing river of blessing to flow out from him and into the
spiritually aris and sin-wearied lives of those who live in the 'hood'.
The thirsty are being satisfied through the sincere and powerful
proclamation of the Word of God and prophetic gifts that Ken
compassionately applies like a healing salve one life at a time.
Inner-city
Dynamics, currently Good Ground Ministries, and through the work of
it's founder Kenneth "Brother Bleu" Campbell and the mentoring and
support of minister friends like Apostle Ron Haynes, Apostle Jefferson
Edwards, Minister's Gary Nobles, Richard and John Sanford, Doris
Morrow, Stu Ottolini, Mike Van Britzin and other associated 'Bleeds',
have effectively reached out to it's community and abroad through the
power of the Gospel.
I have
seen these street rally ministers in action, have participated with
them, and can conclude that street rallies are an extremely effective
method in reaching the lost, not only in the inner-city but any
location where the Gospel of Christ is boldly proclaimed.
Ken should be commended and supported for his unique, unceasing and uncompromising efforts to establish the Kingdom of God
within his nation. He is the original B.L.E.E.D., going forth with the
power of an indwelling Holy Spirit and enabling ability of Grace, to
disciple a new generation of BLEEDS to keep the torch burning in the
name (authority) of the “Prince of Peace”, Jesus Christ. Your Support of this Ministry is vital and needed.
To
Date, 2006, the ministry has been Graced to enlarge its territory
through the world wide web, national and international networks. The
former Good Ground Rentals emerged as the C.E.I.L.L. Outreach

The Spirit of the Lord said that the primary use for the Jet is and offered for: * A privately owned no charge - charter plane for ministry associates needing national and international missionary. ministry, and business travel. *For family and covenant friends needing national and/or international transportation needs. *Personal national and international transportation for immediate family, and missionary, business trips, and assignments from the Lord for weather conditions.
We are believing theHoly Ghost's Word from Jesus is valid. Pray with us for this wonderful offer from the Lord!. We, the believers of the Word of God are indeed children and kings of the most high God , a A Blessing waiting to happen to somebody, somewhere, some how, some way, in the name (conceptual reality and authority) of Jesus Christ! Jer. 29:11

say, that next to "Purpose Driven Life", this is one of the "MUST READ"
books of the century! Thank you for your talent and life. God has truly
blessed you!” Nikki
“Thank you again for
your book. Going through some books of mine, I came across "Battlefield
of the Mind" by Joyce Meyer. The topic is concerning our way of
thinking and how it effects our lives. This book and your messages are
helping me to see more clearly, the way in which Satan has been
deceiving me. I do feel stronger already. I am not feeling so
victimized and wek. I am so thankful for the blessing of getting to
know you, even if it is through this high tech means.” Your sister in
Christ Jennifer

POWERFUL REVIVAL WITH DIVINE PURPOSE…
I attended a powerful revival meeting April, 2007 with Pastor Mosses
Kasha kali from Tanzania. Miracles of healings and restoration were
birthed and a refreshing in the Lord accompanied my heart and others
greatly. If you wish to know more about this powerful ministry email me
and I will send you the particulars. It would be a blessing to you
beyond measure if you will join us in sharing and assisting this much
needed ministry.
Pastor Mosses also invited me to come to Africa to share in the work
of the Gospel as well. The Lord has given him a mandate of building a
Dream Center ministry facility in Africa and he is seeking to network
with those that sense that the Lord has imparted vision in their
spirits to visit Africa. A DVD and CD will be available shortly if you
wish to know more about the ministry. They are free of charge…
Poetry Excerpts From my book Borrowed Beliefs, Copyright 2005, Urban Spirit Publishing
UNLOCKED..
Wanting to Unlock the door
that I caged myself inside,
Though I’ve failed
a thousand times,
Your Love is near
to embrace as my own,
Forgives me each and every time,
no matter the wrong..
Nothing I’ve done to earn it,
It is your Love for me alone,
Ever steaming,
seeking the destination
Of my entire heart and Being,
It seems..
nothing more
than a fantasy,
When I focus
on the wrong things seeing,
Inside the cage of me,
That worships the hurts,
More than
your eternal Love for me,
It is the only thing,
That matters to you,
And so now, also to me,
Your Love I freely receive,
For you know my needs,
Having created me,
And generously supplied
by the miracle of believing,
I am so desiring
of receiving,
Your unconditional Love,
Experienced personally,
Intimately,
and so overwhelmingly,
Bought and paid for,
Especially for me,
So I demand it for my life,
As something due in me,
How simple,
yet so complex,
To rest,
In this truth,
Always afresh and new,
Each and every waking day,
For me and you,
The Power of God is
In his Love for us,
In us, experienced,
Upon the asking and seeking,
Perceived despite the cages,
where we alone hold the key,
Can’t unlock the door,
With my own thinking,
Where our woes
and hurts are more,
Esteemed than Your Love,
holding our scars and sores,
Yielding only poverty to our hearts,
And keeping us poor,
While the wealth
and riches of his Love,
Is always knocking at the door,
I surrender all the keys,
To unlock,
Our hearts..
from our own idiosyncrasies,
That we need only willingly,
Surrender to this power and healing,
The Power of Love,
We fight to keep out,
By Putting others down,
Holding on to our frowns,
In order to keep ourselves up,
But now Unlocked,
I give up,
Lord, I give you the keys,
To replace my heart with your love,
For it is you that died
and rose for me,
And its you that I need..
I surrender all my ills
and its keys,
Heart Unlocked,
that I may perceive,
When I fail a thousand times,
Your Love has always been there,
The seed to all my needs,
to be embraced,
And continuously aware
Of this endless stream,
I Receive,
Unlocked,
I can plainly see,
It is the Love OF Christ
that constrains me,
As a mighty river,
Inside every part of me,
Eternally, every moment,
Of the day,
It is clasped tightly,
To hold back the hurts,
By the force of your Love,
Until you call my heart,
You have created,
Back home where I belong,
With you, never alone,
And made to be free..
I Unlock the door to your love,
Of all I have harbored,
Inside of me..
self condemnation,
the lies of the enemy,
is the only thing,
that urges me to,
keep the keys,
so, I
Thank you Father,
that I am Loved,
In the Now of your forever,
your eternity,
Unlocked,
Within my heart,
You now have the Keys....
Kenneth Bleu,
Jer. 29:11
(THE CHILDREN OF DISOBEDIENCE AND VICTIMS OF THE POWER OF THE PRINCE OF
THE AIR Is literally translated as Unconscious, reflective thinking.
IN other words thoughts think the person more than they are purposely
thinking..)
Excerpt Writings From the book Borrowed Beliefs..
It is a fact that our choices in life and way of thinking
are acquired from knowledge and sources based upon anothers
assumptions, opinions, or “personal interpretations” of understanding,
insight, life, scripture, or eternal truth. Our educational system is
based upon this very fact.
Granted, certain kinds of knowledge and information can been used to
make our lives easier through positive knowledge such as modern
technology and the like, but the negative side of our vast information
age is that without us ever realizing, we may have unconsciously or
inadvertently adopted and trusted in someone else’s information,
knowledge, or beliefs as fact and truth that may be damaging,
crippling, or a hindrance to our fullness in life.
I label this term as “Borrowed Beliefs”. It is borrowing the beliefs
that we have heard from others, or thoughts that we may have concocted
from within our own limited selves, and especially heard and
inadvertently accepted from various religious teachings, and accepting
them as fact without reservation or inspection of it’s validity and
infallibility.
The only thing wrong with something "Borrowed" is that it must be
returned and can not be retained as a "possession" of the borrower.
With these thoughts in mind, you may readily recognize and even
question yourself for being an unconscious victim of borrowed beliefs
and this may be the essence of why there are so many human lives that
are not what they desire it to be.
Although many of influences of information and knowledge may turn out
to be positive, it is evident that the majority of society is living
off borrowed beliefs because the world at large is accented by tragedy
rather than victories.
Erroneous Thinking?
The scientific community has proven that the information that our
brains receive and retain is the basis of our focus of belief
structures that eventually form habits of thinking patterns, and our
thinking patterns are responsible for some 80% - 90% of all physical or
mental illnesses or our placid contentment. Specific conducted research
verifies that 87% of the illnesses plaguing us today directly result
from our thought life! What we think about affects us physically and
emotionally. 1
Beliefs begin their rooting first in our hearts (inner self-talk)
during our childhood years and ultimately develop themselves within our
souls (mind, will, and emotions), on into adulthood, and are often
corrupted through negative influences within our lives. Some of the
most recognizable are following;
*associates; people we look up to and especially those that we want to
like, accept, or admire us (peer pressures). This together with
television and the media is the source of perhaps the majority of the
education and choices of not only adults but also teens and children
that are not properly tutored in the home. Kids can often be heard
that this or that friend told them a certain thing and without
reservation will accept the information and pass it on to others.
*television and the media; i.e. the tell -a -vision is essentially
“telling” and influencing the viewer what to envision and is a subtle
instructor that is an aid for developing erroneous value systems,
unhealthy perceptions, and even laziness and hopelessness. The power of
the “tell-a-vision can be advantageous in many aspects, yet just as
detrimental.
Certainly music, video games, movies, and television are influences as
to the way people choose to dress, choices of food, spend their leisure
time, and many times perceive themselves and the world around them
based upon their reflective thinking..
It is a common occurrence throughout the history of humanity for the naive, untutored, rebellious, and fearful, to accept and live their
lives by things they have heard that are seemingly truthful or sayings
that “just sounds right without ever realizing that these very thoughts
may be a hindrance or the source for their unhappiness or even physical
or mental illness.
“Borrowing the Beliefs" of others, most of which are our own untutored,
and quite frankly self-righteous and selfish thinking concepts, and
especially religious, fascists, or superstitious doctrines, is trusting
in a false conception of truth without having proof of its
authenticity, or confirmation with evidential, supernatural
manifestations to validate it.
Through experience and many miracles that have manifested in my own
personal life (many mentioned later in this writing; many are
supernatural, yet authentic, experiences), I have found that there is a
“power for victorious living” that can be found in the simple yielding,
understanding, application, faith in, and practice of the promises of
God as recorded in the holy bible.
Experience is the Best Teacher
Certainly People can argue and debate all day about the bible,
scripture, and other so called holy books, and they do frequently.
But the reality is; anyone can argue the authenticity and reality of
“ink on paper”, religious doctrines, and “no accountably spiritual
concepts”, but if you really think about it, no one can argue
another’s experience. Experience and the Word of God (the Holy Spirit
1 John 2:27)are is the true teacher’s within all of our lives. Our
mistakes, victories, and hopes, when we learn from them, can be
accurately accounted as experience
Those that understand that the order and instruction of life in it’s
most purest presentation is recorded in the holy scriptures of the
bible, have the “seed“ of true wisdom and eternal knowledge freely
available simply with ones sincere inspection and expectation. Jeremiah
29:11
This writing is based upon actual experiences with walking in and
hoping that the validity of scripture is indeed authentic, infallible,
and can be confirmed with actual signs, miracles, and wonders following
the simple application of them.
Certainly one of the strongest character shaper in today’s society is
religion and the media, and these influences are greatly responsible
for misleading the many untutored and naïve in our society. This has
caused an ignorance (meaning to ignore) and departure from the highly
esteemed order of “Common Sense” and spiritual maturity. You need to
know that scripture in the holy bible is the authenticity and basis for
common sense.
With this truth in mind, is What You Believe Borrowed from Someone
Else’s Concept of Life, eternity, and God or Revealed to You by God
Himself through Holy Biblical Scriptures?
The Ministry of the Holy Spirit…
It is amazing that the very essence, source, power, functioning and
unconditional Love of the Father God in the earth is so misunderstood,
seemingly hidden, shunned, and even ignored.
The sad reality is that those that have no concern about the God of the
universe are not responsible for this lack of knowing, but rather the
so called “proclaiming Christians”, those whom the Holy Spirit himself
has empowered to manifest a dimension of heaven within their own
personal lives and within the earth. I would suppose that perhaps 98%
of people who call themselves Christians have no idea whatsoever that
the Holy Spirit is God and the truth in this earth.
They do not understand their position or authority as a believer and as
a result have mediocre, compromising, ho-hum, void of miracle working
power in their lives. This “power of victorious living” can be found
in the understanding, application, faith in, and practice of the
promises of God as recorded in the holy bible.
One of the borrowed beliefs that gives such power to Borrowed Beliefs
is that they have accepted the teaching and notion by religious zealots
that anything holy can not be approached or attained unless they
themselves are absolutely morally correct, without spot or wrinkle in
their lifestyles, choices, and passions.
Nothing could be further from the truth. God made mankind “human
beings” and not “human doings” and holiness is a state of being as
recorded in scripture, “Be ye holy for I am Holy”. scripture reference
Ephesians 4:23,24 clearly describes that holiness is a state of being
first and foremost. Holiness is a consciousness, understanding, and
functioning from the perspective of what God has already done and not
something one has to do in order attain it.
It certainly must grieve the Holy Spirit when those with whom he has
placed in the body of Christ completely ignore his true essence, and
gentle, perfect, yet firm leading into the fullness of the stature of
Christ in favor of ideals that have no foundation in the truth itself.
I call accepting erroneous teachings of Holy scripture and ignorance of
the true interpretation of holy scripture in the bible and the reality
of the Holy Spirit as “God in the earth”, Borrowed Beliefs.
Those that have no idea of what God and the Holy Spirit is about, whom
he is, the importance of the promises of God in scripture, and the
reality of the Kingdom of God resident within themselves and on earth,
are targeted victims of Satan to Borrowing the Beliefs of others.
The reason for this is that Jesus understood and taught that mankind
loved and favored darkness rather than light because their deeds were
evil. It is an evil when Christians foolishly accept the teachings,
doctrines, and interpretations of scripture from those that frankly do
not know the Holy Spirit, nor understand his unconditional guidance as
clearly recorded in scripture (1 John 2:27). As a result the world is
full of Christians as well as unbelievers that are merely patsies and
sponges of others doctrines, beliefs, and biblical idiosyncrasies.
*religious teachings and doctrines; this is perhaps one of the most
damaging sources of borrowed beliefs because many concepts of God and
truth, and the essence of one’s knowledge concerning the God of the
holy bible is erroneous and is the catalyst and doorway for all other
knowledge and insights. Most people that proclaim a belief in God
should know which of the following are actually contained in the holy
bible. Do you know?
God helps those who help themselves.. Cleanliness is next to
Godliness.., A child is born with a heart of gold but the ways of the
world turns them cold.., Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day,
teach him to fish and you’ll feed him for life…Thou canst fooleth thine
own self but thou canst not God.., God is God all by himself.., God
may not be there when you want him, but he is always on time.. ..if you
answered yes to any of the above, you are a victim of religious
borrowed beliefs. The Word of God. . . . . ..

Intro for Word of God Truths That Transform the spirit…

The Word Became Flesh I Real MP3
The Word Became Flesh 2 Real MP3
Through His spoken Word, God created the earth and everything in it, put the heaven into place, and formed man. Most importantly, His Word became flesh, and Jesus (God in the flesh) was born. His Word is the most powerful thing on earth and in heaven. It is the absolute and infallible truth. His Word never changes, and He never breaks His Word.
In this five-part series, Andrew addresses the impact this has in our lives. He explains how God Himself is limited by His own words; the difference between God’s responsibility and ours; the role the devil plays, if any; the power God has given to us; how to conceive a miracle; and more. These messages, recorded live at a recent Gospel Truth Seminar, will change your life.
The reason Christians are living defeated lives is because they don’t know who they are in their spirit.
This teaching will help make it clear what God placed on the inside of you when you were born again. When you know who you are in Christ Jesus it will keep you from accepting defeat and give you boldness to take what is rightfully yours in Christ.
