Today is the third day that I awakened feeling different. I felt a little uneasy and a little heavy, and it was not because I ate some Gnocchi directly before I went to sleep last night. Yesterday, I went out of the direction of the Lord. I tried to do something that was not a part of the Lord's agenda for me. I was certain that I could go into this circuit and network of people actually believing that the Lord was sending me into their world to minister.
If you know anything about me, I minister to God's people and I am a called watchman for the Christian church. The Lord prepares me daily to minister to His people, and whomever he sends I am to minister to them. My normal places of ministry are places such as churches, but specifically to youth and young adults; at least during this season. I minister to youth and young adults about the truth and secrets behind and about Hip Hop, I denounce fraternities, sororities, Freemasonry, Eastern Stars, other secret organizations, hedonism, and many other hot topics that many churches do not address. While ministering, the Lord always gives me biblical application to share with His people that opposes this list of topics; and of course there are more topics that are apart of this list. In addition to ministering, the Lord uses me in the prophetic to lead His people to righteousness and to prepare the church for Jesus' Great Inauguration for His people. Time is running out so I minister with a sense of urgency, and I do this because we do not know when Jesus is coming back, but we do know that He is coming; and I believe He is coming soon.
Of course I receive a lot of verbal criticism, attack, haters, and controversial discussion because not everyone agrees. One of my friends told me that if people are not saying anything about you then you are not doing something right (TAJ). I am fine with the fact that some people disagrees because not everyone walks by the Spirit of Holiness. The Bible says that the man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for the things of the Spirit are foolish to him, and he cannot understand them; because they are not spiritually discerned (1 Cor. 2. 14, 15). When the Lord commissioned me, He told me, in the exact same words to Ezekiel, "I am sending you to a rebellious nation that is hard headed, hard hearted, and stubborn; Ezekiel, you must be just as hard headed, hard hearted, and stubborn about the things I tell you to say. If you do not warn them, their blood will be on your hands, and I, says the Lord will hold you responsible" (Eze. 3). This is pretty much a paraphrase of the third chapter in Ezekiel, but the Lord gave me this same instruction as to how I am to direct, instruct, warn, encourage, prophesy, preach, minister, and pray for/to Christ's nation; a nation that knows Christ but has let the ways of the world influence their lifestyle. So therefore, God's people, sometimes unknowingly, practice idolatry and God is jealous and will not allow His people to idols into heaven with them.
Well, yesterday when I stepped out of God's agenda, I almost got ate up by the enemy. I was in a place where I was not instructed to go, and while I was praying this morning the Lord told me that I was not instructed to go into the devil's party to minister. Well, I was instructed to go, but I was instructed not to participate in the activities that they would be doing. It was like the Lord was sending me in as a prophetic spy to help the Christian church. The Lord said, "yokes are not going to be broken in the devil's den. Yokes are only broken in my presence." Remember, He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. Satan cannot come into the Holy of Holies, but when we come before the Lord His blazing eyes are able to burn what is not needed in our lives; this is the refinement process. The Lord is refining His people before we come into the heavenly gates. I said ok Lord.....Needless to say, I thought that the Lord was calling me into the entertainment industry to spread and proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ. I received a personal invitation into an industry function to model and travel around the world and get paid for it. Now I modeled before, never pursued it and I never liked the spirit that is behind that industry.
Yesterday, I saw the devil at work before my very eyes. I learned about signing your name at the dotted line....i.e. signing your life away to the devil's work. I did not sign my life away...but I am so passionate about Christ that my zeal almost got me into a sons of Sceva situation. I was not authorized to minister there, nor was I given permission and released to go minister before those people. I got invited back because they really wanted me, but when she told me that many of the superstars of this world want to get out of the industry and they recommend those that have a desire to be apart of the industry not to do it.....I said ok...so while I was in there, the Lord was telling me to leave and that this is not for you and this is not your platform......
Let's just say I am glad I know the voice of the Lord. Secondly, I know that since I no longer watch porn, and I pray over my flesh for the power of the Holy Spirit to overcome and overpower my fleshly desires and weakness and do not give into fleshly wants, I do not smoke, curse, drink, and the Lord has healed my palpitating heart which was an attack from the enemy, I know that the devil wants to take me back under into his playground, because too many of the devil's pawns are giving their lives back to the Lord; the devil is angry with me. I no longer play in the devil's playground and not going back to play in it. Those days are over with and I said good-bye. So while I was praying this morning, I repented to the Lord for stepping out of His agenda that He has over my life. The Lord has an agenda for each and every one of us, but He is not obligated to cover us when we are disobedient. Obedience is better than sacrifice, and I sacrificed my time doing something else, sacrificed my wife's time, and I just veered off to the left; God is saying go this straight and make that right and make that left, and turn this way, and that way, but God did not tell me to veer off to the left.
Now whenever I minister, because of my obedience, yokes are broken and destroyed and it is because of my obedience to Christ. When we are obedient to Christ, yokes and bondages are able to be destroyed. Yokes and bondages can only be destroyed in His presence and no where else. That is why it is important to worship the Lord and always be in His presence, because Christ wants to use those called to do His work to not be apart just to get along, but to break yokes, transform, help bring people into salvation, heal, prophesy, speak truth and most of all love. Speaking truth in love means to not compromise. It means to speak the whole truth in love and love sometime hurts. Demonic activity has to be put to a stop whenever Jesus does a work. Therefore, Christ will never send someone into a club, strip club, bar, rap concert, porn movie shooting, casting call, rock concert, rap concert, a movie set to heal, set free, deliver, save, prophesy, and to pray because no one would make any money for their work.
Some people say the Lord sent me to the club to reflect His image. Well, whenever His image is reflected yokes are destroyed and what that means is people will stop drinking and become sober, and stop dancing to secular music but to begin praise dancing to music devoted to Christ. "Oh, Christ sent me to the rock concert to reflect His love!" Well, If so then why are people still wearing Anti Christ Demon Child (ACDC) shirts and why are people throwing up the devil's horn sign? Christ destroys yokes, he does not continue to allow the devil's work to continue because the devil's work does not have any power over the works of the Holy Spirit; all things must bow and confess that Christ is Lord.
All this to say is that I am continuously gaining confidence in the instruction and places where the Lord wants me to go; and I am devoted to His people that can be rebellious, stubborn, hard headed, and stiff necked. But it is all good because Christ loves them and you also. I thank Christ for his grace for covering me; although He was not obligated to cover me. I also thank Christ for forgiving me.
I want you to understand that Christ understands our ignorance, stubbornness, mis-understandings and mis-interpretations, and faults, but when we come to Him with sorrowful hearts and repented hearts He is able to continue to use us when and how He wants to.....that is one of the many reasons why I love Christ because of His love for me and you. Although I make mistakes, His love carries me directly back into His presence. Oh, I will try not to go out of the way that God wants me to go anymore. I am going to say what Christ wants me to say, do what He wants me to do, act how He wants me to act, speak when He wants me to speak, and move when He wants me to move.
I pray that you seek Christ in all things that you do, and even if He does tell you to go somewhere, be on the look out like Balaam's donkey. Balaam's donkey is the donkey that saw the angel of the Lord in the middle of the road attempting to protect Balaam from dangerous activity. I also encourage you to pray and spend time with the Lord so that you will receive clarity on what Christ wants you to do while you live on His earth. He will show you the path of life, and in His presence there is joy; and in his right hand are eternal pleasures. The Lord loves you and God bless you!
In Christ,
Pastor Donald W. Williams II
