Was Charlie Kirk's Death In God's Plan?

Persons filled with evil and led by demons and demonic influences are celebrating the death of Charlie Kirk. Not surprised because this is what evil principalities and devils do. They think that by killing the visionary, they kill the vision. These are the same ones and the same type of spirits, personalities and enemies who celebrated the crucifixion of Jesus. They knew only part of the story and believed what the religious leaders told them to believe about Jesus, and of course, the lie spread much faster than truth, because evil hearts love a lie. However, in Jesus case, God's PLAN was that HE would die, for the sins of the world and that the world be saved through his death and shedding of his blood for the remission of our sins. 

Although, the church, had no reason to exist and grow, except it be for the God of truth, grew into the largest religious belief in modern history. 

For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. ~ 2 Cor. 5:21

Unlike Drake, who knows absolutely nothing about God's plan, it was in the plan of God that Jesus would die for our sins and rise again on the third day!

These are my recent statements posted on the subject of "God's Plan":

There was a particular fool mocking saying that we, Christians, should be happy
because of Charlie's death because this was "in God's plan"...This is my response to that sentiment:

First, even in her mockery, she wasn't wrong. God wasn't caught by surprise by this and he does have a plan. His PLAN was fulfilled in Charlie Kirk's life and did HE use him to HIS glory?! 

The PLAN includes us, as fellow Christians and believers, uniting and engaging the community with the gospel like never before. The PLAN includes us, like a relay team at baton handoff, taking what was given to us through this young man's life and running like our life and the life of the community relies upon it, because we are close to the end. The PLAN includes us showing why sin and sexual perversion , gender mutilation, the murder of children and other forms of deviant sexuality is wrong and not God's best for us and why such things defile the very image of God in which we are created. The PLAN includes us taking up things from where we are, doing all we can to build our family and community on Christian, biblical values and true notions of freedom, justice and love.

So, unlike many...I would agree. We should accept the plan of God, but she and those like her should be careful, because the PLAN of God has given her a staunch warning to turn from her sins and the wooing of the Spirit of God doesn't last forever as God said HIS Spirit wouldn't "strive with man always"(Gen. 6:3) meaning that death will come for everyone, and our works will speak for themselves. She is best served to know that "pride goeth before destruction" (Prov. 16:18) and further that God has PLANNED the judgement of this world and his PLAN says exactly why...

John 16:7-11

7-Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

8-And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

9-Of sin, because they believe not on me;

10-Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;

11-Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.

Thank God Charlie was IN God's plan. The question to the critic, the hater and them that rejoice at death and the destruction of the righteous and the defilement of the image of God...are YOU in HIS plan?

Today, I am calling Colleges and Universities to find out how I can get on their list of speakers, lecturers and panelists on religious topics and Christian conservative issues...I wasn't doing that before Charlie's death. That too must have been in GOD'S PLAN!!!

Pastoral Call To Action For COGIC Victim's Advocacy/ Queen GerVaise Guyton Interview Pt. 4

For quite a few years, I have advocated and continue to advocate for a process of Victim's Advocacy within what I think could be the greatest Church on Earth, the Church Of God In Christ. 

Yes, basic processes have changed. A new system to educate leaders on sexual harassment and a requirement for universal background checks...however, NONE of those things address any sort of ministry to the hurting or towards those who have been victimized by pulpit and pastoral imposters, posing as angels of light within our church.

What is the problem?

Maybe it is implication of guilt...Maybe the church doesn't want to be on the hook for any more money than what they have delivered through NDA and what liberal news now calls "hush money agreements" ...The fact is the church currently spends money to investigate and even defend predators of sexual abuse within the church. In teh Dirty Man interviews, we find that the church used the money given to it to defend and help known sexual predators. Then we find that all too often, policies and practices are set forth that help the alleged CRIMINAL instead of addressing and helping the victims of these sexually perverted ministers of debauchery and shame. This MUST CEASE...and SOMEONE must be bold enough to call the church into account. 

Still Essential: 

NEW Policy, designed to help those who have been victimized...embraced, endorsed and approved within and by General Assembly. Sounds simple??? Well, the General Assembly consists of some of the offender class individuals. Bishops, Pastors and Elders making decisions on what policies the church should and will embrace. Needless to say that police policing themselves rarely works out positively or in favor of the public. The same is true of leaders, even Bishops who must hold one another accountable and Pastoral friends and associates of those people allegedly doing the same. In other words, until the QUID-PRO-QUO system is broken, change will only be incremental if any at all. 

This is why popular leaders within the church must get serious and openly address the condition of our church in this area and the need to be the church that we talk and sing about. It will take bold leadership making a stand, endorsing what we should endorse and moving forward leading the church into a new destiny. It is a contradiction, to say that we love God and cannot find conscience enough to defend and heal those who have been cut open and nearly, if not, destroyed within our midst. 

A Change Of Mindset:

Years ago, I was part of a local COGIC association of churches, when a particular pastor was found to have impregnated a 12 year old girl that was a member of his church. One of the Pastor's of that group said, "Well at least she was a daughter of the church and not outside of the church"...In his mind, although he realized the wrong, which ultimately destroyed what was left of that pastor's family and church, the commenting Pastor assumed that the sin was somehow made better because the victim had been raised in the church...Needless to say, I left that group, never came back and to this day, have no fellowship with them that hold such shallow ideology on the subject. 

It is a complete offense to God and what we could readily and easily call an abomination, to use and abuse anyone in the context of the church or otherwise, but to be a pulpit predator is extremely beyond the pale of anything considered moral. We should have an accountability to ALL people, but an even greater duty to them who are of the household of faith. (Gal.6:10)

As long as we believe that victimization is an "acceptable" part of our experience even to the smallest degree, nothing will change...Unfortunately, church politics will continue without a word of change being delivered on the subject. Men and women, will continue to step into their "destiny"...receive their "blessing" and flow under some form of anointing AND RAISE MONEY, all while overlooking the things that will forge us a path to heaven.  Serving those who have been victimized and preventing evil from spreading within the context of our churches should be of high priority, but seems to be of lesser importance than the "show" or display of church. 

Will the REAL LEADERS OF OUR CHURCH MAKE A STAND? Let's see. I really and sincerely want to see this.

CHALLENGE: For those willing to join this very spiritual battle to promote a revolutionary change within this church and be a part of a seed change within the Christian church in general, call us at (800)730-2990 x802

DECEIVED: COGIC and the Shane Perry Implosion

As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. ~ Gal 1:9 (KJV)

When a church cannot discern the message of Christ from the message of "motivation", it should be concerned. 

So it is with the message of alleged pastor and retiree Shane Perry within the Grand Ole church. Dr. Perry, as he is known, took the time to not only announce his retirement, but to say that he hasn't believed in the bible for a number of years and hasn't preached JESUS for over 10 years.

Perry's claim is that the bible is flawed, full of contradictions and Jesus is like any other person of antiquity, and some of the bible is good just like other religious books are good in some places. 

Is this the gospel? Then, what's more, how did he infiltrate the church?...I am sure, more than a few pastors are calling him right now, saying, "Man, we praying for you DOC"..."Doc"...what kind of DOCTOR destroys the object of faith and uses the church, because we are so hungry for such attention, to enter in and help influence people one way or another?

Watch the video and hear this backslidden minister for himself:

We should deal with our desire to be "entertained" as well. Many folk made Perry their favorite preacher because he is a White man, sounding and delivering a message like he was a Black preacher. A person reported to me that everyone in a certain Jurisdiction would stand around saying, "Preach White Boy!" as if they were enthused by his skin color and ability to act. 

Who is PROTECTING THE SHEEP? 

The WOLVES are devouring the sheep and the shepherds are asleep...lulled into a stupor by this pied piper. We have allowed a person who doesn't even venerate the object of our faith, according to that persons own words, and welcomed him and his "knock-off" and K-Mart blue light special discount message to infiltrate the church...This man has preached a NON CHRIST centered gospel by his own words and we have eaten it up. Further, we can't wrap our minds around the fact that this man was NEVER saved, but just a pretender getting what he could get while the getting was good...Now we have folk confused. some even defending him and his actions yet calling him, the "anointed" of God that should not be touched...

I am almost willing to guarantee that someone, some pastor or Bishop, even after hearing his complete story and rejection of Christ, will open their pulpit and Jurisdiction to him in the name of "love" and "mercy"...in part, because they are also in the same vein of Perry, unbelievers in the pulpit!

Conclusion

This is my last post on this man unless he repents and finds Jesus, because he is not my idol and just another sinner that needs to be saved, but this is sad for the church, many congregations and believers holding on, and many leaders. 

SAD...DECEIVED...OFFENDED...SET ON OUR EAR...

Next, we will also deal with our continued falling away, displayed by our new reception of the Greek system of Sororities, Fraternities and secret societies in our youth meetings and AIM Convention. Once we (COGIC) were a stalwart against such evil and could distinguish a gospel message from a motivational message of this new generation speaker, but we have lost all discernment. Preachers and magicians such as this, are no longer afraid of COGIC pulpits and we have no discernment. LORD HELP US TURN!

1-Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks; 2-I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars: 3-And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted. 4-Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. 5-Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent. 6-But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. 7-He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.
Rev. 2:1-7 (KJV)

Speaking To Dr. Earl Carter

Isaiah 33:15-16 ~15-He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil; 16-He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure

Reluctantly, I have had to interject into what appears to be a "spin war" of Dr. Earl Carter against COGIC Presiding Bishop Charles E. Blake. The reason that I must speak is because in one of Dr. Carter's latest videos, he invokes my name at about the 14:40 mark (unless he edits the video as he has done and continues to do in some cases after release). One can hear him issue some statements referencing my name. 

Plainly, some of his statements regarding what I have said are misstatements. Some are mis-attributions of statements that I have allegedly made regarding both homosexuality and sexual abuse in COGIC. Some of Carter's statements in that video, attributed to me, were patently false attributions. This means, that I DID NOT say what Carter leads one to believe that I said regarding COGIC or our current condition. 

For this cause, I have taken the time to point out those misstatements in the comments section of his youtube video. I will recapture the statement in full here just in case my commentary gets deleted. 

I spoke as follows:

This is Pastor Burnett 

About 14:40 in this video carter mentions my name and attributes something to me that I wrote in PART. He then adds on a whole bunch of stuff that I didn't say such as my "confirming" that I said that homosexuality and child molestation is in COGIC and that I was speaking of a $100,000,000 lawsuit and that the "lady" and her son was doing what I said they would do years ago....I have been a vanguard for years for victims advocacy in this church, but that is as much as I have done and will continue to do. I never said anything about a "lady and her son" and or wrote about a one hundred million dollar lawsuit, or mentioned a prophecy that I spoke because god has given me NONE.... 

Dr. Carter, you need to be more responsible with information. I can attest that your's regarding my input into that issue is erroneous. 

Pt. 2:

One more thing. Although I would agree that our church needs a renewed spiritual awakening in many areas, similar to other organizations etc, I am in total disagreement with your resolve in character destruction. On my blog I have referenced COGIC over 78 times, Bishop Charles Blake over 34 times, Homosexuality over 68 times and clergy sexual misconduct and abuse over 90 times. I have placed some tough questions and made some pointed statements directly to our leaders, but I draw the line at character abasement. That is ungodly and I do not believe that destroying a person's character is a way to build anything. We can be hard hitting, truthful and even earth shattering without destroying the person. I led the charge against Bishop Charles Brown who allegedly molested his nieces and others. I have interviews that in my opinion are award winning on the issue. However, I did not destroy the man's character as it speaks for itself. Tell what you think he is doing wrong as far as administration is concerned. That is fair. Tell us the shortcomings and missteps. That too is fair. However, I am against denigrating his person and as I have heard your proof, it is only tabloid worthy. I have heard nothing compelling. 

I do not wish to be an antagonist, but PLEASE do not use my name unless your retelling is accurate and in context. 

Thank you.Supt.  Harvey Burnett The Dunamis Word

Pt. 3 

This link: 

https://bethelburnett.blogspot.com/search?q=church+of+god+in+christ will take you to nearly every story I have done on COGIC on my blog. In these articles I reference Bishop Blake and his missteps and mistakes especially aligning our church with the UDHR. I am no novice in this. This link: http://bethelburnett.blogspot.com/2012/09/fear-to-victory-overcoming-cogic-clergy.html 

Takes you to what I did on the Charles Brown issue, even calling for an investigation after the court threw the issue out because of the statue of limitations. One can speak truth without denigrating a person or becoming the ungodly ugly that we speak against. I hope that can be seen in my work. Dr. Carter, you have a good cause, and that cause is reform of our church. However you methods and methodology is flawed and should cease. I was in STL a couple of years ago with a camera as well. I was not escorted off, but I did not call our leaders gay either, especially at the event. If you know this man is gay, then work on leadership reform, not speculative and sensational approaches to spiritual decorum. The Seven Son's of Sceva saw the problem, recognized it and threw themselves into it. They were powerless and came out bleeding, naked, and embarrassed. DO NOT be one of them. Your skills and talents can be used, but not like this.

Thank you

The Freedom & Progression Of Pentecostalism

Dr. Dale T. Irvin, President NYTS
Supt. Harvey Burnett

Recently, I had the opportunity to visit New York Theological Seminary (NYTS) to discuss a number of important issues and educational matters. I also had the opportunity to sit in on and provide input in the Global Pentecostalism class conducted by NYTS President Dr. Dale T. Irvin, Professor Of World Christianity.

I would first like to say that I appreciate NYTS and have become their new fan. Not only is the NYTS staff dedicated to education, they are also dedicated to the mission of Christ and the expansion of Christ's Kingdom aka: the salvation of souls. As I observed on my visit, NY is a ripe and fertile ground for the proliferation of the gospel and the preaching of Christ. So I commend NYTS for their dedication, efforts, and service and pray continued blessings upon them. 

In the Global Pentecostalism class, Dr. Irvin has taken the time to meticulously outline the growth of the Pentecostal movement, not only in America, but around the world, by referencing such works such as "Black Fire: One Hundred Years Of Africa American Pentecostalism" by Estrelda Y. Alexander (InterVarsity Press 2011) and "The Spirit Poured Out on All Flesh: Pentecostalism and the Possibility of Global Theology" by Amos Yong (Baker Academic 2005). Dr. Irvin points out that Pentecostalism was not simply a product of the early 1900's Asuza St. Revival, but it was a phenomena that embraced the world through various spiritual events and what became known as organizations even tracing it's biblical roots back to Acts 2 which states in verse 4: 

 v. 4 ~ And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Tongues 

Pentecostalism is the fastest growing Christian movement in the world. In shortly over a 100 year span, the number of adherents to Pentecostalism and Pentecostal doctrines, has nearly eclipsed the growth of every major Christian denomination. Though, from a biblical standpoint, there were other elements of the
