Whats up famo! its ya boi Konviction, at it again, spending time on blogger gettin ill wit da pen! Ha Ha!
Just decided to craft up an opinion about something that has garnered much attention down here in da Holy South! In Gainsville, Fl, approximately 2 hours north of Orlando, there is a church and surrounding community planning a Quran burning ceremony in observation of 9/11 and the World trade Center Bombings. The Dove World Outreach Center is hosting what is being called "International Burn a Quran Day" on the ninth anniversary of the attacks.
"We believe that Islam is of the devil, that it's causing billions of people to go to hell, it is a deceptive religion, it is a violent religion and that is proven many, many times," Pastor Terry Jones told CNN's Rick Sanchez earlier this week. While there are some supporting the issue, many, including hordes of Christians, are against it.
The National Association of Evangelicals, the nation's largest umbrella evangelical group, issued a statement urging the church to cancel the event, warning it could cause worldwide tension between the two religions.
While I am obviously no Muslim, and wholeheartedly embrace the salvation of Jesus Christ and the sanctification of the Holy Ghost publicly, it is very important that Christians understand that these actions do not reflect the nature, character, nor intentions of the God we serve. The Apostle Paul, writing in his classic treatise on the topic of love, states that "without love, it profits us nothing" 1Cor. 13:3.
How, then, can we as saints, love God, yet despise and put to shame that which He created? In His own image and likeness?
How can a man claim to know and love Christ, yet hate his brother?? Or as the popular slogan would suggest, What would Jesus Do? Any hints?
I got one for ya.
Love bears all, believes all, and endures all things. God is Love. Love is that cure-all for humanity. Christ, referring to himself, states, "And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto Me." (John 12:32) The lifting of Christ, His physical death and resurrection, is a symbol of compassion to the lost, representing God's love to the nations and various peoples of the World, especially those who despised, rejected, and accursed His Name, His Kingdom, and His Glory.
The Great Physician..came to deliver, to heal the sick, wounded, and confused. The blind and bound....
What doctor, then, of a Just and Righteous nature, would, laying His eyes upon a sick and dying generation, refuse them treatment???
Not My God. My Healer. My Deliverer.
What can wash away my sins...What can make me whole again??
Nothin but the love of Jesus...
The Great Recompense, the Ransom, the Bond. Foll All People.
Rich, Poor, White, Green, Fat, Skinny, Saved, and Unsaved. And Muslims. For He wishes that No man would perish.
Instead, why don't we transform that rally into Share Christ With a Muslim Day? A Day of reconciliation, healing, and transformation. Invite the Spirit of Promise, and stand back and let Him do His work!
Watch Muslims watch the Spirit of Christ, break generational yokes, burdens, and divisions that have existed among people for generations....
Our God is a God of restoration. This sounds much more like Him!

Endurance is the Key
Konviction MUZIK
http://www.triumfantmuzik.com/
Wow. As I reflect on the process, the process of making the Lazarus Experience Vol. I, so many different and varied things rush into my mind. Yet, above all, head and shoulders, is the quality of endurance. To endure. To keep on keepin on. To lay it all on the line. The bible says in the book of Hebrews, chapter 12, verse 1, that "therefore we also, since surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us."
Never give up. Never, Ever. No matter what your circumstance appears to be, feels to be, no matter what is spoken, what death is announced, decreed, or declared, whether by principalities, powers, pastors, or even loved ones, God is still able. So long as there is living breath in the thing, so long as there is life, God is able.
Jesus, when knowing that His hour to be glorified unto death had come, spoke to His disciples saying, " In the world, you will have tribulation;but be of good cheer, for I have overcometh the world." John 16:33.
So long as we are in Christ, we shall obtain the victory, the triumph, we shall overcome the world, the tribulations, trials, setups and setbacks, roadblocks and potholes, lockups, and the lockdowns. period.
Eudurance is the key to maturity, full blown growth and development in Christ, beyond the elementary stages of faith. Thru the process, He will purge, prune, burn, and disinfect us of our wordliness and uncleaness. Of the sin, the spiritual decay and rot that is like an offensive odor to His nostrils, a rigamortis if you will. To the contrary, hanging in there, staying in race, gives Christ time to order our steps, and fashion our lives in a manner that will cause us to develop as He desires, which is directly to the fulfillment of His preordained purpose for each of us, the completion of a task for heavenly proportions.
So many things have happened during this process. But thru it all, I have remained faithful. Not that I have fully apprehended, or not that I have attained that status of purity yet, as Paul stated, but I am continually pressin toward the mark, of the higher calling of the prize. I am still in the race. And I wont quit.
Winners never quit. And quitters never win.

Lazarus Come Forth: Sickness for the Glory of God
Konviction Triumfant Muzik www.triumfantmuzik.com konviction@triumfantmuzik.com
Hey there. I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself...
To the church, community, and the World-at-large.
Im Konviction. A former whoremonger, former addict of everything tasty including drugs and women, secular rap musician, ex-dead beat dad, etc. You know. The stereotypical imagery that popular culture suggests decribes us, especially us brothas, all too well...
Funny thing is, what I was, has contributed greatly to who I am and what I am quickly becoming. In the book of John, Our Beloved, Jesus, when informed of the death of his close friend and confidante Lazarus, a man whom the bible says that Jesus loved, Christ told the disciples in reference to Lazarus' death that, "this sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified thru it." John 11:4.
Hmmmmm. Amen. Our sickness, even our death, will ultimately work toward the glory of God. Amen.
The very things that the enemy used against me, even my own ignorance, has been used to prepare me for the task which God assigned to me before my mothers womb, before the foundation of the World. All of the pain, rejection, anger, abuse, confusion, strife, bitterness, and unforgiveness, has collectively given me an understanding of deliverance, and transformed me into a symbol of Gods promise for our generation.
God is not a God of favoritism, he is no respector of persons....What He can do for me, He can do for you..
Or your wife, your son, your co-worker....
your incacerated child, or addicted sibling...sin is sickness, true, and is separation from God, a spiritual death. But Christ is the antedote...the cure, for all ailments..the cureall...the medical miracle for a World that has lost faith in His Power...
It is this principle that defines the Lazarus Experience. He called me forth. And thru faith and belief in His power, I came. Here I am, Lord, send me, I replied.
Thus, in a similar fashion, thru His power, and ordained by His authority, an authority given to All who truly believe, I call you forth......
Those of you sick...addicted, hurting, confused, dazed, blinded, oppressed, hungry, and abused....
The dead in sin and trespass against God...say Yes...Yes to Jesus, to Resurrection and Redemption..
Say yes to Life..Life Eternal in Christ Jesus...Stay tuned to the Lazarus Experience Vol. I
For God So Loved The World that he gave His only Begotten Son, that whosoever shall believe in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3: 16.
