Jesus never told anyone they were “going to Hell”.
No one. Not one single person.

Live Spirit-led, not law-led.
– Bishop Joshua Maynard
People may say, “The Bible says that’s a sin!”
My Bible says, “Christ is the end of the law-for-righteousness to all who believe.”
– Bishop Joshua Maynard
People may say, “He doesn’t act like a Christian!”
God says, “I’m not looking for actors. I’m looking at the heart.”

It is not as simple as saying, “The Bible is inspired by God, but that other book is of men or the Devil”.
– Bishop Joshua Maynard
God’s will is not automatically done.
God is not willing that people perish. People Perish.
God wants everyone healed. People aren’t all healed.
God wants everyone free from oppression of the Devil. People stay oppressed.
Even Jesus had a choice and said, “Not my will, but thine be done.”
You have been given dominion and authority over all the power of the enemy.
Will you use it?
– Bishop Joshua Maynard
God did not cause you to fall behind on your bills, your car to break down, make you lose your job or put sickness on you for not paying your tithes.
It’s time we stop blaming God for everything bad that happens to us.
– Bishop Joshua Maynard
God did not allow someone that you love to die an untimely death so that they might go to heaven before they fall from grace, or so their friends or family might come to salvation at the funeral.
It’s time we not only stop blaming God for death, but also stop thanking Him for it as well.
– Bishop Joshua Maynard
God did not “rig” the lottery machine, the slot machine, the deck of cards, the roulette wheel, the horse race or your fantasy football game to keep you from winning.
It’s time we stop blaming God for getting suckered out of our money.
– Bishop Joshua Maynard
God is not keeping you from obtaining wealth to humble you.
It’s time we stop blaming God and take responsibility for our decisions.
– Bishop Joshua Maynard

I preach the Gospel and Christ alone defines me.

The Bible speaks law, legalism and death to the unstudied reader
The Bible also speaks grace, freedom and life when the Spirit reveal’s God’s Word to us.
– Bishop Joshua Maynard
FEAR cancels FAITH.
LOVE casts out FEAR.
FAITH worked by LOVE.
LOVE WINS.
– Bishop Joshua Maynard
The Law preached makes converts out of FEAR.
It enslaves people to LEGALISM.
Grace preached makes DISCIPLES out of LOVE that are FREE in Christ and operate in Kingdom power.

Jesus wasn’t killed by the Romans.

The negative thoughts you choose to entertain will gladly move in for an extended stay.
Do you want the baggage that comes along with them?
– Bishop Joshua Maynard
Being a SAINT or a SINNER isn’t about:
The curse words you speak.
The alcohol you consume.
The friends you hang out with.
The music you listen to.
The addictions you struggle with.
The wife/husband you choose to marry.
It’s about whether or not you allow God’s love and Christ’s life to live in you and through you to others.
– Bishop Joshua Maynard
Grace is a license NOT to sin.
– Bishop Joshua Maynard
Just because you aren’t healed doesn’t mean that God hasn’t done His part.

God has FAITH in YOU!
He is FAITHFUL even when we lose faith in Him and in ourselves
– Bishop Joshua Maynard
While we may be called upon to serve, we are not just SERVANTS.
While God is friendly towards us, we are not just FRIENDS.
While we are “bought with a price”, we are not just SLAVES.
Servants, Friends and Slaves are not the same as FAMILY.
We are God’s SONS and DAUGHTERS.
We are God’s FAMILY.
When you think of yourself as anything else, you settle for less than you deserve.
– Bishop Joshua Maynard
Jesus didn’t come to raise up a Christian government.
The Gospel is not political.
If you are going to bring Christianity into politics and government, you be certain of one thing: Those pushing the agenda are not particularly representing the Gospel or the Kingdom.
– Bishop Joshua Maynard
Some churches promote SERVANTS.
Real discipleship promotes SONSHIP.
– Bishop Joshua Maynard
Man excels at finding things we must DO to BECOME or STAY saved.
Yet God has proclaimed that in His Son, we ARE saved.
SAVED is what we ARE, not what we DO or DON’T DO.
We ARE Him and He is us. We are ONE. We ARE Salvation.
– Bishop Joshua Maynard
Your words have power!
The power to create and the power to destroy!
When thoughts come against you, you cannot defeat them in your mind!
You must speak against them!
Cast down all imaginations that exalt themselves above the knowledge of God by Christ Jesus.
Don’t let your mind become a foothold for the Devil.
Don’t allow your own conscience to condemn you.
– Bishop Joshua Maynard
Could you trust a doctor to heal your disease if he infected you with it on purpose?
Most of us would say, “NO!”
Yet Christians every day say things like:
“My back is hurting. I must not be reading my Bible enough”
“This headache just won’t go away! I must be bearing a burden for someone.”
“God allowed me to get cancer so He can get glory from my testimony someday.”
God is our Healer and our Deliverer.
God wants you healed and well.
There is no glory in sickness and there is no glory in death.
Death is not a “healing”.
Someone please stop this madness.
– Bishop Joshua Maynard
