With all the vast religions that are plaguing our world
today, I felt that a practical overview of religion was very
much needed. As this world is coming to a close you
are going to be confronted in the days to come from
people that are lost and unsure of their faith and what to choose.
First of all let me start off by saying that
Scientology makes no sense what so ever.
If you can believe this dumb and dwarfed religion
then you can certainly believe that Jesus Christ is Lord.
Here is a snippet from the Scientology website:
Scientology is about the individual man or woman.
Its goal is to bring an individual to a sufficient understanding
of himself and his life and free him to improve conditions
in the way that he sees fit.
Ok so from reading this snippet it lets us know that what
Scientology in essence is all about (self righteousness).
It’s no wonder why it’s spreading so quickly because in
Scientology, the only one you have to submit to is you.
It comes into alignment with a lot of what we see in the media
in which about 90% of it is about self.
You see if you have the ability to correct all the your problems
and issues, then all the glory will go to you.
You are a masterpiece and out of everyone in the world,
there is no one quite like you. If you believe that then you have
to know that you have a master. Your master is the one
that has created you, the one that informs you and
makes you in to the person you were predestined to be.
Scientology only deals with the life on earth right now
which leads me to my first question.
Why do we even come to church? Is it to flirt? Is it to solicit products?
Is it to perform? I am referring to our main focus for going to church.
Because if all I need to do is to achieve and just excel in
this life then I don’t need church. Scientology will fit well into My time
and purpose (on earth). There is one problem. I can’t die because
there is no provision of scientology in the after life.
We come to church is to get empowered right? but empowered to do what?
to get a car?, to get a house?, to get a wife?, to get a position?
Now I am very sensitive to the current needs of what all of us are facing.
The point I am making is that I am concerned the temporal things we are
stretching our faith on.
Footnote: We will always have needs but those needs do not always
have to overwhelm us.
We have to position ourselves as the sons of God…
Be watchful

Suggested reading & declaring:
Romans 8:14-27
14For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.
15For [the Spirit which] you have now received [is] not a spirit of slavery to put you once more in bondage to fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption [the Spirit producing sonship] in [the bliss of] which we cry, Abba (Father)! Father!
16The Spirit Himself [thus] testifies together with our own spirit, [assuring us] that we are children of God.
17And if we are [His] children, then we are [His] heirs also: heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ [sharing His inheritance with Him]; only we must share His suffering if we are to share His glory.
18[But what of that?] For I consider that the sufferings of this present time (this present life) are not worth being compared with the glory that is about to be revealed to us and in us and [g]for us and [h]conferred on us!
19For [even the whole] creation (all nature) waits expectantly and longs earnestly for God's sons to be made known [waits for the revealing, the disclosing of their sonship].
20For the creation (nature) was subjected to [i]frailty (to futility, condemned to frustration), not because of some intentional fault on its part, but by the will of Him Who so subjected it--[yet] with the hope(D)
21That nature (creation) itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and corruption [and gain an entrance] into the glorious freedom of God's children.
22We know that the whole creation [of irrational creatures] has been moaning together in the pains of labor until now.(E)
23And not only the creation, but we ourselves too, who have and enjoy the first fruits of the [Holy] Spirit [a foretaste of the blissful things to come] groan inwardly as we wait for the redemption of our bodies [from sensuality and the grave, which will reveal] our adoption (our manifestation as God's sons).
24For in [this] hope we were saved. But hope [the object of] which is seen is not hope. For how can one hope for what he already sees?
25But if we hope for what is still unseen by us, we wait for it with patience and composure.
26So too the [Holy] Spirit comes to our aid and bears us up in our weakness; for we do not know what prayer to offer nor how to offer it worthily as we ought, but the Spirit Himself goes to meet our supplication and pleads in our behalf with unspeakable yearnings and groanings too deep for utterance.
27And He Who searches the hearts of men knows what is in the mind of the [Holy] Spirit [what His intent is], because the Spirit intercedes and pleads [before God] in behalf of the saints according to and in harmony with God's sons.
