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

To start today I must turn to John fourteen:

John 14:15 NKJV – “If you love Me, keep My commandments.”

I wish to key in on the last word: “commandments.”

Commandments – G1785 – entolé – command, instructions, orders, requirement; commandment, precept

1. Precept – a rule for action or behavior, especially obtained from moral thought

Why I start with this definition of the word: “commandment” is I wish to pose a question.

Which has more governance over a person? A direct command given by someone in authority, in this case Jesus Christ who will in time sit upon the Throne of Heaven, or a description of an action of behavior. Please ponder that for a second.

If you say the commandment given by Christ Jesus. That is the response I would say all that call themselves “Christian” would answer. However, I ran into an encounter with a Pharisee upon social media the other day that turned this person into a liar. For they insisted they follow Christ, however they refused and even argued with a command spoken by Jesus Christ Himself. Why, because the verses describing the acts of faith through works on the day of Pentecost were not in agreement with Christ Jesus’s command.

Three times Peter denied Christ the night Jesus Christ was arrested. This is reflected also in Peter’s leadership of the early Christian Body of Christ. The first time on the day of Pentecost. The Second was Peter leading the other apostles to pick another. When they picked Matthias, other than he died a martyr’s death do we know anything about this man? The answer is no. The last time Peter messed up was when he was forcing Gentiles to get circumcised and Paul confronted him about this in Galatians.

Therefore, Peter, having all praying together on the day of Pentecost was again Peter denying His Savior. However, Christ Jesus was not going to hold this against the rest of humanity. For He made a promise to all humanity that He would send them a comforter. Therefore, Pentecost came to be. Any taking Peter’s actions as a way of governing all Christianity as has been shown in the Word of God to be faulty and human and therefore should not be considered.

Especially when God showed His power by have fire descend from heaven and having those in the room speaking multiple languages found throughout the known world.

Within the NT there are only two letters from Peter. Thirteen books are definitely written by Paul. Hebrew’s authorship is questioned.

Paul is the official replacement of Judas Iscariot. Any actions Peter allowed should be questioned for they go against God and glorify humans. Therefore, Peter allowing group prayer at Pentecost was an act allowing human glorification. Once again, God sending flames descending from heaven and making people speak in various human tongues showed glorification of God through the Holy Spirit Whose name is Jesus Christ. Therefore, any who supports and pushing open group prayer. Who is being glorified? Ponder upon that.

Special note: Every time Christ removes Himself from the apostles what is the purpose for this?  The answer: To pray to His Father.

Now we are ready for the commandment given by Christ Jesus. At the Sermon on the Mount Jesus gave out several commandments that we are required to pursue. One of which is how we are to pray.

Matthew 6:5-7 NKJV – “And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words.

Now let me rephrase this so it will be totally understood, by even a  modern-day Pharisee. We are told by the Son of God that when we pray we are to do it in private behind closed doors where no one will hear or see the person praying, just as He did.

He begins with an example of open sin by those that are hypocrites, which He also made clear applies to those that are Pharisees. They are not to pray in public. So those that pray in restaurants, on street corners across from abortions clinics. Those that go into churches and begin and close their services in pray are ALL hypocrites and openly sinning against God by defying a direct command given to them by Christ Jesus. And are even living in defiance of His own example.

I can hear it now. Those that just had their precious toes step upon. The other Pharisees that profess to being “Christian,” however they insist they are right and Jesus Christ, not me, is wrong. Didn’t you just hear the commandment given by Jesus a bit ago? I will restate it just as I had to do with the other Pharisee.

Matthew 6:5-6 NKJV – “And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.”

“When you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites……. that they may be seen by men.”

What promoted this original modern-day Pharisee to argue was a picture of a small group of politicians kneeling in prayer upon the floor of congress. All dressed up in their expensive suits aka mammon in plain view of the cameras and anyone in the gallery. Hypocrites.

When we pray it shall never be in public. Anyone who insists we are to do so in public is seeking to turn those that follow their demand into sinners against God through Jesus Christ.

I have to say this. I have just re-read the thread to see if I can show any other signs of the mentality of a modern-day Pharisee. I was surprised by what I found. Gone were the persons insistence that they will continue to pray in a group. However, the person added another reference to a commentary. Has I have established in the past. Commentaries for the most part just show how men insist their views of the Word of God are greater than the direct commands given by God or His Son our Savior: Jesus Christ.

Additionally, it is adding to or taking away from the Word of God, which is a sin.

What is even more funny was that the person accused me of deleting and changing what I had posted in the thread to this person. Just for the record: I didn’t because I stand upon the Word of God and see no reason to turn it into shifting sand. However, it was they that did all the deleting and changing trying to make themselves look righteous and me to look to be the heathen. When in reality this person was actually trying to turn Jesus Christ into the heathen. I have never felt so blessed. Even though I can no longer visually prove the Truth, because of this Pharisees attempts to conceal the Truth. I know that when the book of this person’s life is opened at the Great White Throne Judgement, Christ Jesus will be vindicated for it is He this Pharisee was and as a matter of fact still is attacking.

Any who place the words of men over that of God shows they follow the traditions of men and not the will of God. This shows they are still religious Pharisees and not True Disciples of Jesus Christ. If you have been reading or listening to these podcasts. You will know that most professing to being “Christian” are to the extreme very religious people, which means these Words spoken by the Glorified Jesus Christ applies to them:

Revelation 3:1-5 NKJV – “And to the angel of the church in Sardis write, ‘These things says He who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars: “I know your works, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead. Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die, for I have not found your works perfect before God. Remember therefore how you have received and heard; hold fast and repent. Therefore if you will not watch, I will come upon you as a thief, and you will not know what hour I will come upon you. You have a few names even in Sardis who have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with Me in white, for they are worthy. He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.

“I know you works, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead.”

Again let me translate: Those that call themselves “Christian” believe they are alive in Christ, but they have chosen eternal death.

Once again the most important teaching from these verses:

“He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels”

“I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life.”

This shows that they were saved. They had received salvation. Yet their works through faith ended and they stopped abiding in Christ so as well did their salvation. Therefore, Christ Himself removed their names from the Book of Life. This shows that most that now profess to being “Christian” are not worthy to be counted as part of the first resurrection.

I have shown through the Bible that there will be multiple raptures. This is from those that have taught throughout the centuries what is called the “partial rapture theory.” When truly studying the Word of God it will become clear that there will be multiple raptures. The rapture that comes as a thief in the night. This is the pre-tribulation and the smallest of all the raptures. All due to most being religious, most being Pharisees. The second will be the largest rapture which occurs at the midpoint of the tribulation. It will be so large it will be uncountable. Beyond this point there will be no one that calls themselves “Christian.” Why this is, is 1) the Holy Spirit will be removed from the earth, and without the Holy Spirit no one can be saved. 2) all that refuse to take the mark will by this time have already been killed. 3) only those left will have taken the mark of the beast, and those of the tribes of Israel. Then the last rapture occurs, the pre-wrath rapture which removes those of the tribes of Israel. All of these are part of the first and greatest resurrection. Those who will be called to judge and to serve with Christ during the thousand years reign.

But this brings me to something else that occurred within my confrontation with the modern-day Pharisee. This Pharisee accused me of judging them. What does the Word of God say:

1 Corinthians 2:13-16 NLT – When we tell you these things, we do not use words that come from human wisdom. Instead, we speak words given to us by the Spirit, using the Spirit’s words to explain spiritual truths. But people who aren’t spiritual can’t receive these truths from God’s Spirit. It all sounds foolish to them and they can’t understand it, for only those who are spiritual can understand what the Spirit means. Those who are spiritual can evaluate all things, but they themselves cannot be evaluated by others. For, “Who can know the LORD’s thoughts? Who knows enough to teach him?” But we understand these things, for we have the mind of Christ.

1 Corinthians 6:1-3 NLT – When one of you has a dispute with another believer, how dare you file a lawsuit and ask a secular court to decide the matter instead of taking it to other believers! Don’t you realize that someday we believers will judge the world? And since you are going to judge the world, can’t you decide even these little things among yourselves? Don’t you realize that we will judge angels? So you should surely be able to resolve ordinary disputes in this life.

This means that we have the right to judge those that sin against and even attack our Savior that call themselves members of the Body of Christ. If we stay within the Word of God and not our own vain pride we may actually be worthy of being included within the first and greatest resurrection when we will be given a throne to set upon and given the power to judge all within our assigned province by Jesus Christ Himself. This also includes pointing out those that call themselves “Christian,” when their works shows them to be religious Pharisees. Only being worthy of being called frauds, phonies, hypocrites. May there be enough heavenly treasures to outweigh their earthly chaff. For if the latter is all that is left they will find themselves where the worm does not die and the fire that burns their skin is never quenched, for their names would have been blotted from the Book of Life.

To make it simple. Just because that’s the way everyone has done it for centuries, doesn’t mean it is right with God. Jesus makes it very simple.

John 14:15 NLT  “If you love me, obey my commandments.”

If you profess to love God don’t pray where ANYONE can see you especially in the buildings called “churches.”

God Bless
