This is Dreamwalker1960. As a reminder you can read the transcripts of all my podcasts at dreamwalker1960.com. You can use most podcast platforms if you wish to listen. All you need to do is do a search for Dreamwalker1960.

Until further notice the messages that accompany this notice will be part of the “Come out of her my people” series. They will be harsh. They will cause people to get upset. This is as it should be. They must question the way they think and live. So, they can seek to follow Christ and not the world.

Discussion

Part of coming out of her per:

Revelation 18:2-5 NKJV – And he cried mightily with a loud voice, saying, “Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird! For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury.” And I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues. For her sins have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.

Is the awakening to verse 3 so I will repeat it:

Revelation 18:3 NKJV – For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury.”

“Through the abundance of her luxury.”

Jesus Christ Himself made reference to this mentality in Luke:

Luke 16:13-15 NKJV – “No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.” Now the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they derided Him. And He said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is highly esteemed among men is an abomination in the sight of God.

I had an encounter with someone in social media the other day. An article appeared stating that to paraphrase – Miss America praised God for her success.

I made a statement that she actually showed everything opposite the teachings of the Bible, which is the Truth. For the Bible states what I just read in Luke, but also this:

 1 John 2:15-16 NLT – Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you. For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world.

Since becoming “Miss America” is an achievement and she took pride in receiving it. Then per the Word of God it is of the world and not of the Father and thus sin. Therefore “Miss America” making this statement:

“I think our world is broken. I think it is polarized and divided, and I want to be a light. I want to be an inspiration, and I want to make every single person feel seen and valued and appreciated because that is who the Lord is.”

This statement is actually the most self-focused, self-aggrandizing, self-worshipping statement I have ever encountered.

Therefore, we can quickly identify who her “lord” is per the Word of God.

Luke 4:5-7 NKJV – Then the devil, taking Him up on a high mountain, showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said to Him, “All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish. Therefore, if You will worship before me, all will be Yours.”

When following Jesus Christ, we are to what?

Matthew 22:37-40 NKJV – Jesus said to him, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”

In her statement she stated the word “I” five time. Her “lord” once and we have identified him as not God, but Satan due to that fact that she is covered in mammon. Seeks after mammon and glorifies herself and not God through Jesus Christ.

As has been shown. To truly worship God, we are to focus solely upon God through Jesus Christ. We are to choose between God or mammon; we cannot have both. It has been shown that what the world esteems like crowns upon heads and fancy shiny clothing is an abomination in the sight of God. Therefore, if she truly sought after glorifying God. She would never have even entered the “Miss America” pageant but instead sought after anonymity and every “I” in her statement would have been the Words “God” and “Jesus,” and “I” would have never crossed her lips once.  

Not once did “Miss America” state the name Jesus Christ. She did say things to glorify herself and to have herself worshipped as a goddess.

Therefore, this statement that was made in the comments section was the Truth:

Miss America depicts everything opposite the teachings of Jesus Christ and thus is Satanic. Saying this gives honor to God through Christ shows just how far people have fallen away from God and are not destined to a place in heaven, but the lake of fire in eternal damnation.

In reply a person said this in response:

“Even if you think this is true, she is bold enough to speak of the Lord’s love to all who will listen. What are you doing to spread God’s word? It is easy to criticize.”

My response was to give a link to my latest message at that time. In addition, I also stated this:

Talking about God while wearing expensive clothes equals:

Revelation 3:14-16 NKJV – “And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write, ‘These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God: “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.

“I will vomit you out of my mouth.”

Which means violently removed from the Body of Christ QUICKLY and sentenced to damnation.

Because the next verse says this:

Revelation 3:17 NKJV – Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked—

Other things occurred, but are not necessary  to talk about and deal specifically to the person I was having that interchange with so is of no consequence to this podcast at this time.

What is of import is what has been shown here. However, we can expand upon this. It is not only this poor misguided woman that has reached the earthly achievement of “Miss America.” This also goes to those others in places of fame and popularity that point to the sky or make basically the same statements as this young woman have done.

Giving glory to their god who has rewarded them richly with earthly rewards. Rewards we have shown in 1 John do not come from God in any way shape or form. Encouraging millions to seek after wealth and luxuries. All of which is a sin against God. For it is made clear that if we truly seek to follow God we are to live a needs-only lifestyle:

1 Timothy 6:6-19 NKJV – Now godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content. But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. I urge you in the sight of God who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus who witnessed the good confession before Pontius Pilate, that you keep this commandment without spot, blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ’s appearing, which He will manifest in His own time, He who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see, to whom be honor and everlasting power. Amen. Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty, nor to trust in uncertain riches but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy. Let them do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to give, willing to share, storing up for themselves a good foundation for the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.

“That you keep this commandment without spot, blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ’s appearing.”

Which commandment was given?

“Now godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content.”

In Miss America’s statement she said: “I want to be a light.”

This was a direct rejection of Jesus Christ who states:

John 8:12 NKJV – Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”

She stated she is the light not Jesus Christ.

Later Paul was inspired by the Holy Spirit to write this:

Ephesians 5:1-13 NKJV – Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma. But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints; neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks. For this you know, that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Therefore do not be partakers with them. For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth), finding out what is acceptable to the Lord. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret. But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light.

“And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.”

Participating in the Miss America pageant IS having “fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness.”

She has embraced it for if her light were truly the light of Christ she would expose it not followship with it.

Matthew 6:22-24 NKJV – “The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness! “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.”

Her “lord” is wrapped in mammon and therefore is not God through Jesus Christ.

God Bless

They must question the way they think and live. So, they can seek to follow Christ and not the world.

Discussion

In the last Podcast I made mention that people need to avoid commentaries and to actually STUDY the Word of God for themselves.

Most in their busy lives actually don’t even take the time to read the Bible let alone study it. However, studying the Bible is mandatory. Because if people actually studied, they would be surprised by what they have gotten wrong and why they may still live in sin. Most of these actually thinking they aren’t sinning, which is actually worse off for them.

In today’s study I will actually take one verse and show how it can be misinterpreted. The verse of choice:

Matthew 7:23 NKJV – And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

Now let us look at it in the KJV:

Matthew 7:23 KJV – And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Now the NLT:

Matthew 7:23 NLT – But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.’

Then the NIV.

Matthew 7:23 NIV – Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’

Well, Let us look at the word “iniquity” from the KJV.

Iniquity from the dictionary – the Marrion Webster – 1: gross injustice : wickedness; 2: a wicked act or thing : sin.

From the Cambridge Dictionary – a very wrong and unfair action or situation.

From Dictionary.com – gross injustice or wickedness. Synonyms: evildoing, knavery, depravity, infamy.     a violation of right or duty; wicked act; sin.

So, from how people now interpret the word “iniquity:” We come to this meaning those that practice evil and live in sin.

Now let us look at how the word is translated when related to the Bible.

Iniquity – In Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance this word is identified as “G458” or Greek 458. The Strong’s definition is worded this way:

“Illegality, that is, violation of the law or (generally) wickedness, iniquity X transgress ( -ion of) the law, unrighteousness.”

From a website called “Bible Hub.” This is the information we glean from it:

“anomia” – Lawlessness, iniquity, transgression, disobedience, sin.

There seem to be some difference between the modern meaning and the Biblical meaning. So, therefore, let’s dig a bit deeper.

For this I will look to the Theological Dictionary of the New Testament:

In the NT ἀνομία has the same range of use as elsewhere. In the plur. (found only in quotations) it is the “sinful act,” though the connection with the Law, measured by which the act in question is shown to be sin, is not directly in view….

ἀνομία may have a stronger connection with the Law and its transgression in Mt; this at least appears to be true in 23:28, where the words ἔσωθεν δέ ἐστε μεστοὶ ὑποκρίσεως καὶ ἀνομίας are addressed specifically to the pious who strictly observe the Law. The connection is less close, however, in 7:23.

Matthew 23:28 KJV – Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

Matthew 23:28 NKJV – Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.

So, per the Bible’s original meaning of the word “iniquity” is not “evildoers” but those that disobey God’s laws, the commandments. Yes, they are evildoers, however as emphasized by Matthew 23:28 they are those that appear to be righteous and loyal to God when they are loyal to only themselves. Thus, making them lawless. Which also corresponds with the way the verses of Matthew 7:21-23 are presented.

Therefore, those that made the NIV have created a lie, thus they follow the father of all lies. To show this point let us study a different part of the Bible:

Mark 9:38-50 NKJV – Now John answered Him, saying, “Teacher, we saw someone who does not follow us casting out demons in Your name, and we forbade him because he does not follow us.” But Jesus said, “Do not forbid him, for no one who works a miracle in My name can soon afterward speak evil of Me. For he who is not against us is on our side. For whoever gives you a cup of water to drink in My name, because you belong to Christ, assuredly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward. “But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea. If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having two hands, to go to hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched— where ‘THEIR WORM DOES NOT DIE AND THE FIRE IS NOT QUENCHED.’ And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame, rather than having two feet, to be cast into hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched— where ‘THEIR WORM DOES NOT DIE AND THE FIRE IS NOT QUENCHED.’ And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire— where ‘THEIR WORM DOES NOT DIE AND THE FIRE IS NOT QUENCHED.’ “For everyone will be seasoned with fire, and every sacrifice will be seasoned with salt. Salt is good, but if the salt loses its flavor, how will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace with one another.”

Missing from the NIV is verses Mark 9:44 and 46.

“Where ‘THEIR WORM DOES NOT DIE AND THE FIRE IS NOT QUENCHED.’”

Did they remove them because they thought they were too repetitive? I don’t know. One of the main issues is that it reinforces that if you sin you shall suffer damnation in the lake of fire per Isaiah:

Isaiah 66:24 NKJV – “And they shall go forth and look Upon the corpses of the men Who have transgressed against Me. For their worm does not die, And their fire is not quenched. They shall be an abhorrence to all flesh.

Christ’s point of being repetitive is that it is made three times. When something is stated three times in the Word of God is it something that cannot be revoked or overturned.

2 Corinthians 13:1 NKJV – This will be the third time I am coming to you. “BY THE MOUTH OF TWO OR THREE WITNESSES EVERY WORD SHALL BE ESTABLISHED.”

This is why Christ said it three times. So, deleting this diminishes Jesus Christ and in turn diminishes God.

This is also why the story of the young rich man is repeated in three gospels. Because we are to consider this interaction between Christ and this young man as what it is intended to be for all that desire to be a disciple of Jesus Christ. Something that is mandatory for all to pursue. Yet most will respond as the young rich man did and Christ knew this even then.

Mark 10:17-22 NKJV – Now as He was going out on the road, one came running, knelt before Him, and asked Him, “Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?” So Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. You know the commandments: ‘DO NOT COMMIT ADULTERY,’ ‘DO NOT MURDER,’ ‘DO NOT STEAL,’ ‘DO NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS,’ ‘Do not defraud,’ ‘HONOR YOUR FATHER AND YOUR MOTHER.'” And he answered and said to Him, “Teacher, all these things I have kept from my youth.” Then Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, “One thing you lack: Go your way, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow Me.” But he was sad at this word, and went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.

So, therefore, once again we note that those that made the NIV try to diminish God, to weaken the teachings of Jesus Christ. Therefore, those that made this book are twice cursed to where their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched.

Throw the NIV in the garbage and get a real Bible. Then use it to STUDY the Word of God. This means not to take the words printed there verbatim, but use it to guide you to the Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic. Understanding the Bible as written down originally gives you the Ture Gospel.

Knowing the True Gospel then makes you understand why you must be a bondservant to God and teach it without seeking compensation. For that is what being a bondservant means. Because you will come to realize that most have never heard the real Gospel, which is why they live in sin and are not going to heaven, but to that place where their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched.

All because they listen to others. They read commentaries that give men’s opinions and don’t reflect what is truly taught in the Word of God.

I say once again, as I have said many times before. STUDY the Word of God for yourself. DO not take my word, do not take any man’s word. You MUST learn it for yourselves in the Greek. In the Hebrew. In the Aramaic. For only then will you know the Truth.

Many times, people say I have misinterpreted the Word of God. In reality it is they that listen to lies. Lies from the commentaries. Lies from those that stand before them on the dais.

Lies that have blinded them as well as most others to the Truth. When they say the words: “When you stand before God on Judgement Day.” That is the only time they speak the Truth. For they are admitting to all that they are damning those that listen to them as well as themselves to have to stand before the Great White Throne Judgement. This is something to weep over not to celebrate. For they will have missed the first and greatest resurrection, and are willingly joining the second resurrection which will lead most likely to the lake of fire. Where their worm will not die and the fire is not quenched.

God Bless

They must question the way they think and live. So, they can seek to follow Christ and not the world.

Discussion

The Bible tells us this:

Matthew 22:37-40 NKJV – Jesus said to him, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”

I wish to focus upon the first commandment:

“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.”

“With all your mind.”

The only way to focus our minds upon God is to actually STUDY the Word of God. Just after Jesus Christ received the Holy Spirit and then Satan tried to temped Him. Jesus’ very first response to being tempted was this:

Matthew 4:4 NKJV – But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘MAN SHALL NOT LIVE BY BREAD ALONE, BUT BY EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDS FROM THE MOUTH OF GOD.’ “

This came from Deuteronomy 8:3. In full context:

Deuteronomy 8:1-3 NKJV – “Every commandment which I command you today you must be careful to observe, that you may live and multiply, and go in and possess the land of which the LORD swore to your fathers. And you shall remember that the LORD your God led you all the way these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you and test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not. So He humbled you, allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the LORD.

This is the direct teaching that the Bible. The Word of God is to be our focus. Throughout the centuries though people have drifted away from the Bible as the center. Instead, they turn to what as been called commentaries. People turn to commentaries like the Matthew Henry commentary, The New Interpreter’s Bible, The Expositor’s Bible commentary to name a few.

I have found that that adds to or takes away from the Word of God, which means they are sin and a turning away from the Word of God, but to the word’s of men.

To be upfront and honest, I have and still use a commentary series. However, I take it with a grain of salt and do my best to weed out the corruption of man with the series. It is the John Walvoord Prophecy Commentaries. They have a clear and visible Baptist leaning to them. However, when you weed out this aspect of them, I found them very informative. Why? Because they give you multiple views, from several scholars throughout the centuries.

Unlike most commentaries, which basically force the reader into thinking as the writer of the commentary believes. The Walvoord books show and teach multiple insights that have been established throughout the centuries.

As an example. This being that there are multiple rapture theories that are taught and listened to. The no rapture theory, the pre-tribulation rapture theory. The pre-wrath rapture theory. The partial-rapture theory.

This is not how we are told to study the Word of God. Not just reading but studying. To truly Study the Word of God. Each and every person must break down the words as they were first written down upon parchment.

It is this lack of study that caused many of these commentaries to become the core of false teachings and false doctrine that has led millions down the wrong path.

Time and again I run into those that say to me, that I have misread the Word of God. However, since they refuse to listen and to continue to live in and of the world it is obvious that it is they that have misread the Word of God. Why? Because they have not broken down the words to their original meanings.

Many words do not carry the same meaning they did two thousand years ago and so give a false meaning, which is why it is so important to STUDY the Word of God.

Then there are words like “mammon,” which one woman who professed to being a “Christian” said I was speaking gibberish.

Plus, when studying we come to learn that at times like once again the word “mammon” words have multiple meanings that apply all at the same time. Therefore, so you can understand I will break down the word “mammon” once again.

This word that shows up as a choice of either God or mammon. A choice of one or the other is defined as this:

Riches, which is jewelry and fancy clothes. It is the accumulation of money. It is possessions, like for example all the objects that people collect and hang on their walls and place them around their houses. As well as vehicles that go beyond a need to get from one place to another. It is property that goes beyond our basic protection from the weather, like a huge house and/or multiple houses. As well as unused land for selfish self-pleasing usage.

All of that is mammon and most seek after it and refuse to get rid of it. Which is why this is taught within three gospels:

Mark 10:17-31 NKJV – Now as He was going out on the road, one came running, knelt before Him, and asked Him, “Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?” So Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. You know the commandments: ‘DO NOT COMMIT ADULTERY,’ ‘DO NOT MURDER,’ ‘DO NOT STEAL,’ ‘DO NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS,’ ‘Do not defraud,’ ‘HONOR YOUR FATHER AND YOUR MOTHER.'” And he answered and said to Him, “Teacher, all these things I have kept from my youth.” Then Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, “One thing you lack: Go your way, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow Me.” But he was sad at this word, and went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions. Then Jesus looked around and said to His disciples, “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God!” And the disciples were astonished at His words. But Jesus answered again and said to them, “Children, how hard it is for those who trust in riches to enter the kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.” And they were greatly astonished, saying among themselves, “Who then can be saved?” But Jesus looked at them and said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible.” Then Peter began to say to Him, “See, we have left all and followed You.” So Jesus answered and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My sake and the gospel’s, who shall not receive a hundredfold now in this time—houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions—and in the age to come, eternal life. But many who are first will be last, and the last first.”

Now, don’t get confused. The houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands is not promised in this life, but our eternal life that is to come.

Matthew 16:24-27 NKJV – Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works.

“For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father and His angels. AND THEN HE WILL REWARD EACH ACCORDING TO HIS WORKS!”

Anything, houses, or vehicles and any other earthly rewards NEVER come from God. This is made very clear in the Bible:

1 John 2:15-16 NLT – Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you. For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world.

“Pride in our achievements and POSSESSIONS! These are not from the Father, but are from this world.”

Meaning we are to do without them.

1 Timothy 6:6-8 NKJV – Now godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content.

Now I want people to take notice. In the last two groups of verses, I used two different versions of the Bible. In 1 John I used the New Living Translation and in the 1 Timothy I used the New King James. This is because I studied the Word of God and found the that NTL of 1 John is more accurate and true to the original meaning of the words as they were placed upon parchment nearly two thousand years ago.

However, this is not true for all of the NLT, which is why I use the NKJV when sharing the Word of God for the most part. It is also through studying the Word of God that I found the NIV “bible” is actually a people pleaser book and so needs to be thrown in the garbage ASAP. I really feel sorry for those folks that wrote that book for they have cursed themselves to damnation. Truly sad. But that book actually makes these verses make sense when you think about how they changed the Word of God and even removed important verses all to make people feel good.

Galatians 1:6-10 NKJV – I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed. For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ.

“I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, which is not another.”

“To a different gospel, which is not another.” That is the NIV. Something that is twice cursed and has led millions not to salvation, but damnation. Very sad.

All because they refused to STDUY the Word of God for themselves. Breaking down the word as they were written two thousand years ago with the aid of a Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance as well as the Theological dictionaries of both the OT and the NT. These are not commentaries especially the dictionary. Even though there is some paragraphs to read. It is mainly an explanation of what the words meant when they were written down not only in the Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic, but their actual meanings when the were placed upon parchment.

Again, STUDY the Word of God for yourselves. Don’t take my word for anything I actually challenge you to prove me wrong and thus a false teacher. I dare you too.

God Bless

Until further notice the messages that accompany this notice will be part of the “Come out of her my people” series. They will be harsh. They will cause people to get upset. This is as it should be. They must question the way they think and live. So, they can seek to follow Christ and not the world.

Discussion

Most that now call themselves “Christian” at this time, live under a false imagery about their existence within the community that are followers of Jesus Christ.

Why? Because they have a misconception of what is required of them. Mainly due to not being told the real Truth. Nor, reading the Scriptures for themselves. So, they only have themselves to blame. But blame for what? Well, we’ll get to that.

Let’s take a journey though. Not a trip through the countryside. However, a trip through those that have made their church their social focal point. To go through this journey, I will call upon my experiences throughout the last 57 years of my life in which I spent in many buildings called “churches” that I have entered into.

First let us look at the behavior of many that call themselves parents. Most become stern and strict. The thing is they impose their own rules and regulations. No TV and no movies are two examples. You will listen to this and not that. This is adding to the Word of God. Now don’t get me wrong. One command must be followed.

 Proverbs 13:24 NKJV – He who spares his rod hates his son, But he who loves him disciplines him promptly.

Spanking a child when they do wrong is mandatory. They must come to know that doing wrong can cause pain.  However, making them do wrong by having rules that are overly stern is wrong as well. I have known many within the religious community that act like this. They end up driving their children away from God. In some cases, they even cause them to enter into sin. Sin they would have avoided if not to help save the social imagery of their parents within the church community. I know many that now live in sin due to this very mentality coming from their parents.

What does the Bible teach?

1 Timothy 3:1-5 NKJV – This is a faithful saying: If a man desires the position of a bishop, he desires a good work. A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober-minded, of good behavior, hospitable, able to teach; not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous; one who rules his own house well, having his children in submission with all reverence (for if a man does not know how to rule his own house, how will he take care of the church of God?);

Yes, this is about those that seek after leadership of a religious group. However, are parents not the leaders of their household? The answer is yes. Therefore, this applies to them as well. How can any be a good parent if they drive away their children from God?

Here I wish to give an anecdote.

I once encountered the written testimony of someone. About his coming to follow Christ. The first part was wonderful and perfect. It showed a true understanding of sin and the decision to turn away from it.  Then the speed bumps occurred. The man’s wife had gone through it and corrected his grammar and spelling. Why? I don’t know.

Then I saw the last two parts of this man’s testimony. The first part threw me for a loop. The second part made my jaw drop. To paraphrase. In the first part he said: “So I have decided not to fully commit myself to God.” The second statement: “I will seek fellowship with those in the church and be happy with them.”

I have my suspicions where these comments came from. But without concrete evidence I will not speak on what caused this 180-degree turn away from the wonderful words spoken in the first part of the testimony.

The Bible makes it clear.

Matthew 22:37-40 NKJV – Jesus said to him, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”

God is first. Not the community, building or group. Most have this mentality that if they do wonders within the group, the community, the building. They are blessed and going to heaven. Again, this is the furthest thing from the Truth.

James 1:19-27 NKJV – So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God. Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does. If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one’s religion is useless. Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.

“Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.”

“Visit orphans and widows in their trouble.” This means to help those in need.

More importantly is this part of the verse:

“To keep oneself unspotted from the world.”

Let’s explore the word: “unspotted.”

Unspotted – G748 – aspilos – Unblemished, spotless, without stain, unstained, undefiled, spotless, pure.

How is this accomplished? Well let’s look at this from another teaching within the Bible.

1 Timothy 6:6-10 NKJV – Now godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content. But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

Also, there is one lesson in three different gospels that also fit, so I will show one of these.

Mark 10:17-21 NKJV – Now as He was going out on the road, one came running, knelt before Him, and asked Him, “Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?” So Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. You know the commandments: ‘DO NOT COMMIT ADULTERY,’ ‘DO NOT MURDER,’ ‘DO NOT STEAL,’ ‘DO NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS,’ ‘Do not defraud,’ ‘HONOR YOUR FATHER AND YOUR MOTHER.'” And he answered and said to Him, “Teacher, all these things I have kept from my youth.” Then Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, “One thing you lack: Go your way, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow Me.”

And just for icing on the cake We have this teaching:

1 John 2:15-17 NLT – Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you. For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world. And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever.

Most that go to the buildings called “churches.” That join the choir. That sit in the pews and sing their songs say a prayer or two and listen to and/or give a sermon do one major thing wrong. Even though I just listed several sins in the description I gave. However, what is this one major thing which makes them not really “Christian” but lukewarm and thus vomited out of the Body of Christ long ago? Thus meaning no longer saved.

Matthew 6:19-24 NKJV – “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. “The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness! “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.

“You cannot serve God AND mammon. Yet that is exactly what they do. They prove this by what the word “mammon” means.

It is defined as riches which is jewelry and fancy clothes. It is also defined as money. The accumulation of money beyond our needs. It also mean possessions. Those objects throughout their houses. On the walls on their furniture, as well as the furniture itself. It is also their cars and trucks and motorcycles that are again beyond what is needed. Especially if they are “luxury vehicles.” It is also property. The huge houses and\or multiple houses. By the way an RV counts as a house. As well as land filled with nothing to help those in the need.

They worship mammon and that is where their heart is. They all condemn themselves, because that is the way it is and has been for decades, for centuries.  I have heard this and seen this first hand from people close to me. Even they refuse to accept that they are not welcome into heaven. That they will not even be considered for the first resurrection. They will however, be considered for the Great White Throne Judgement, which fits in with those that stand on the dais and say: “When you stand before God on Judgement Day.”

For those that are True to God and live a needs-only lifestyle as well as spread the Word of God and use the excess of their earthly wealth to help those in need. These WILL be part of the first resurrection and  will not be judged, but will judge.

Revelation 20:4-6 NKJV – And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.

This is what most that call themselves “Christian” think will happen and occur to them. However, as has just been shown. This is the furthest thing from the Truth. For they WILL awaken to the second resurrection and more the pity for them. All because they are right and the Bible, the Word of God. The Holy Spirit who uses people as His tools are wrong.

Why say this? Because they are all talk and no action. They show faith without works. Instead of faith AND works.

James 2:26 NKJV – For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

Therefore, understand. Just because you live a religious life doesn’t mean you are welcome in heaven. All you’ve done is live by faith alone. Never even attempting to live a needs-only lifestyle. Truly spread the REAL WORD of God. For if you did you would teach to live a needs-only lifestyle. Also, you never truly help those in need. Because if you did you would be living off the least of you earthly income not most of it.

Plain and simple. Yes, You will be standing before God on Judgement Day. You will weep and cry when that occurs for you will have missed the thousand year reign and not be considered worthy to be a priest of God and of Christ.

Pray that your faith alone allowed you to have your names written in the Book of Life. But don’t count on it.

Revelation 20:15 NKJV – And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.

God Bless.
