Who's Your Sensei?


In Japan A Sensei is a person who has knowledge and is willing to teach that knowledge to another. A Sensei assists students in ken shiki "the pursuit of knowledge". Some organizations, such as the BujinkanKodokan (Judo), and Shodokan Aikido, use the term shihan for high-ranking or highly distinguished instructors or teachers

Scriptures: See Reference section below


         
   In every religion there is a ""founder of the religion".  Hebrews do not have a founder of a religion because God himself is the founder.  The founder of the religion writes down his message and people submit to this person as a "master", a "teacher," someone to hold in high esteem, even worship.  When learning Karate, a serious student will have a "sensei," a teacher, and blindly obey follow and learn from a them.   

 
We are members at this church!h It's more like a rock n roll concert.  The music is purposefully used to put people in a good mood. Then the preaching comes from the likes of: Forbes magazine,  some random successful person, from Financial counselors, from Feminists, Cosmopolitan Magazine, or Newsweek. Not from of God.
  
  
This is not God!
In today's modern church you do not see a lot of Christian discipline. If you go to church today you will see the complete opposite. No discipline for the body and soul, no discretion, no purity, or holiness, no morals!
       The body of Christ was converted to "non-Christian ways and teachings, to be "cool". 
      Everyone was forced to conformed to the world's standards.  

   
   
          A follower of Jesus is a disciple of Jesus.
A disciple is a follower and student of a mentor, teacher, or other figure.
In order for someone to be a disciple they must submit to Jesus as Master, he puts his words, doctrine, rules teachings in us so we may live by them.

 This is the Holy spirit which produces the fruit of self-control instead being controlled by sin or others.

  The Church looks more like Sodom and Gomorrah than a church redeemed, saved, holy, pure, sanctified by the blood of Jesus Christ. Self-control or self disciplined coming from the of The Holy Spirit.

           
     
        The Hebrews have God. God spoke to directly to Abraham, Issac, Jacob and Moses.  Hebrews greatly reverence and esteem these men.  When Jesus came as God's ultimate representative Jesus became the highest 

"Sensei,"  teacher above all the others before him.  This "Sensei"  with his death he made a way for all people to come to God and become HebrewsChildren of the covenant, children of God.  

God the Father,( Jesus the Son, and  the Holy Spirit), speaks 

directly to each of his children.

If someone isn't listening to Jesus, turn from them. You can talk to Jesus  and listen to Jesus yourself. 
Romans 12:2 Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.
You do not want to have what they have. In Christ, you do not live as they live, do not dress the way they dress, do not listen to them. Do the opposite of what they are doing. Then, you'll be doing the right thing and be empowered by God, not men!  You''ll hear from God and know his will and be anointed by God. They have the praise of men you'll have the praises of God.

John 12:42-43 Many people did believe in him, however, including some of the Jewish leaders. But they wouldn't admit it for fear that the Pharisees would expel them from the synagogue.

For they loved human praise more than the praise of God.

We have only "one voice" to listen to once we come to the Knowledge that "God so loved us that he sent Jesus to die for us" "so God could forgive our sins and we can be reconciled to God forever," "no longer separated by sin because we no longer sin." (See scripture refs. below)



 School teachers admit they are proselytizing, (you), Children into a false religion using witchcraft.
(side note: if you know you are forgiven but still have sin, it is not your sin but someone using your mind, your life. You are being used,  oppressed, coerced,  pressured, taken advantage of, lied to, manipulated by someone.  If you know someone is filled with God, forgiven, but they still sin, it isn't them. It is someone working magic, a spell, deception in their minds that could go back as far as when they were babies and abused some how. It takes the anointing to break the yoke of bondage off even a Christian soul. So it isn't them, they no longer sin, it is someone else who is guilty of the sin.  We as Christians must get to the root of all sin and get rid of it with the power of God: The Gospel.)

All Christians listen to God themselves and communicate with 
                
                  God One On One.

Jesus teaches all that is the truth. We must submit to him as a "Master", a "Sensei".  This submission brings our souls and bodies into submission to the Holy Spirit. As Jesus teaches us we should not "look and see,"  we do not listen to others and hear and believe. We question everything! Then seek the truth from Jesus. 





Murder is wrong but is killing in war wrong? Defending yourself and your family?  Having food and clothes is OK but can you take stolen money to buy your food and clothes?  Things seem one way but one lie can change everything and you just sinned!  One tiny little lie will make 


telling the truth  lying

because the truth you believe was based on a lie that your great grandpa told you great grandma.       Yes, something they did will effect you today.  It is also called the curse of generations.  We must sit down and listen to Jesus.  Let the Holy Spirit lead us.





Where to start:  Every conversation with God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit has to go through the "Gospel". The Gospel is the Power of God.  God loves me, I only receive from God no one else.  I hear only one voice.  Look at your sub-conscience. There are a lot of people living in there, their voices stay in your mind leading on the wrong path!

  







Jesus is the Sensei, You are the student, Jesus is anointed, The Gospel is anointed
     
When speaking to God you must relate to God through the Gospel: For God so loved the world he sent Jesus to die for them so they would be reconciled unto him.  God wants everyone to turn from sin and obey his Ten Commandments.  God does not want any one left out.  Sin means the devil has a person in jail, kidnapped.  Jesus died so the devil can not keep you or this person captive.  People must turn to God, it is through knowing Jesus that they are set free from the devil and become a child of God and then you no longer sin.!!!!!!!!!!!!


       
4,000 years after God created the earth he took a day  to work. On this Day God did not create anything, but he fixed what was broken! God made everything right so you would have a great, wonderful, happy life!
     
Jesus will teach you that God owns everything. 1 Corinthians 10: 26 For “the earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof.”All the earth and all the people on the earth belong to God.   God reconciled the world unto himself.

   
       

       All your friends all your neighbors, Family members, belong to God they are separated from him by their sin! They are separated from you and each other because of their sin.  Jesus died that we might come together in the unity of the Holy Spirit and be as one. 





         
Jesus freed us so we can love one another with all honesty and truthfulness, no one sinning against another.
God owns the entire earth. It is much much better to be in "Money" poverty and rich in the things of God.  I am rich in the things of God: (read your Bible) all the ground you walk on, God's owns it all.  See the horses, see the cattle, see the milk from the cows, wheat, bread, see the  grain, see all the cereal, see the fruit trees, grapes, honey.  God owns it all.  

Repent today from the want and desire for money and financial prosperity.  Be rich in faith in God, because God shares all that he owns with you.  It is better to share the earth, wheat, horses, cows, milk and honey with God than have a worthless piece of paper called "Money" with a few men. 



BE RICH IN THE THINGS OF GOD

***Children of God do not sin***

The Command to Love
1 John 3:1 Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God!  Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. 2 Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. 3 And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.
Sin and the Child of God
4 Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness. 5 And you know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin.6 Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him.
7 Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous. 8 He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. 9 Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.
Called to Be Holy
1 Peter 1
13 Therefore, preparing your minds for action,  and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 14 As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, 15 but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, 16 since it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.” 17 And if you call on him as Father who judges impartially according to each one’s deeds, conduct yourselves with fear throughout the time of your exile, 18 knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot.
...........................................
22 Having purified your souls by your obedience to the truth for a sincere brotherly love, love one another earnestly from a pure heart, 23 since you have been born again, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and abiding word of God; 24 for
***One Voice***

Luke 9: 34 As he was saying these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud.35 And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, my Chosen One;  listen to him!” 
Mark 9: 6 For he did not know what to say, for they were terrified. 7 And a cloud overshadowed them, and a voice came out of the cloud, “This is my beloved Son;  listen to him.”
1 Peter 2:2 He never sinned,
nor ever deceived anyone. 
23 He did not retaliate when he was insulted,
nor threaten revenge when he suffered.
He left his case in the hands of God,
who always judges fairly.
24 He personally carried our sins
in his body on the cross
so that we can be dead to sin
and live for what is right.
By his wounds
you are healed.
25 Once you were like sheep
who wandered away.
But now you have turned to your Shepherd,
the Guardian of your souls.

I Am the Good Shepherd

John 10:1 “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door but climbs in by another way, that man is a thief and a robber. 2 But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 To him the gatekeeper opens. The sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4 When he has brought out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. 5 A stranger they will not follow, but they will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.” 6 This figure of speech Jesus used with them, but they did not understand what he was saying to them.
7 So Jesus again said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. 8 All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9 I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture. 10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. 11 I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. 12 He who is a hired hand and not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. 13 He flees because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep. 14 I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, 15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd. 17 For this reason the Father loves me, because I lay down my life that I may take it up again.18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This charge I have received from my Father.”

***Reconciled to God***

Romans 5:10 For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. 11 More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.

2 Corinthians 5:16 From now on, therefore, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we once regarded Christ according to the flesh, we regard him thus no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.  The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. 18 All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 that is, in Christ God was reconciling  the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. 20 Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. 21 For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

Colossians 1:19 For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell,20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.
21 And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds,22 he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him, 


The Anointing

The Prayer of Faith
James 5:13 Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing praise. 14 Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.  17 Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed fervently that it might not rain, and for three years and six months it did not rain on the earth. 18 Then he prayed again, and heaven gave rain, and the earth bore its fruit.
19 My brothers, if anyone among you wanders from the truth and someone brings him back, 20 let him know that whoever brings back a sinner from his wandering will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.

Gentiles Hear the Good News

Acts 10:34 So Peter opened his mouth and said: “Truly I understand that God shows no partiality, 35 but in every nation anyone who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him. 36 As for the word that he sent to Israel, preaching good news of peace through Jesus Christ (he is Lord of all), 37 you yourselves know what happened throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee after the baptism that John proclaimed: 38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.39 And we are witnesses of all that he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They put him to death by hanging him on a tree, 40 but God raised him on the third day and made him to appear, 41 not to all the people but to us who had been chosen by God as witnesses, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead. 42 And he commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the one appointed by God to be judge of the living and the dead. 43 To him all the prophets bear witness that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.”

The Holy Spirit Falls on the Gentiles

44 While Peter was still saying these things, the Holy Spirit fell on all who heard the word. 45 And the believers from among the circumcised who had come with Peter were amazed, because the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out even on the Gentiles. 46 For they were hearing them speaking in tongues and extolling God. Then Peter declared, 47 “Can anyone withhold water for baptizing these people, who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?” 48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to remain for some days.

Let Truth Abide in You
1 John 2:24 Therefore let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the Son and in the Father. 25 And this is the promise that He has promised us—eternal life.
26 These things I have written to you concerning those who try to deceive you.27 But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will  abide in Him.

Isaiah 10:

Isa 10:27  And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.
