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.

Discussion

Those that now call themselves “Christian” have to come to an understanding. What they must come to understand is how they have been taught and how they have been raised to think. Especially about how to live their lives has been one huge lie.

This last word will cause many to become angry and even decide that they will no longer listen or read what will follow. The moment this thought flashed through their minds it became confirmation that what has been said is the Word of Truth. For further confirmation we turn to the Word of God and to a group that believed they were Christian as well. However, they started to listen to people pleasing messages. Here is the confirmation:

Galatians 5:19-21 NKJV – Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

The validation when it flashed through their heads could have taken the form of an outburst of wrath. Their thought of not wishing to go further was a type of contention. Because to question what they have always thought to be the truth makes them uncomfortable and ill at ease. So, they see it as a threat to their reality. Therefore, since it is different. Counter to their belief IT must be wrong. For they are special and cannot be seen as in the wrong. For to accept that they are wrong would destroy their life.

That means that this message is not a people pleasing message. This is as most sermons and teachings should make people. Ill at ease, as it should be. If those listening are made uncomfortable then it challenges them to avoid entering into sin.

But to get to the core of this uncomfortable message. Most that now go to a building that calls itself a “church” will never stand in the presence of God in robes of white.

Oh, they will kneel in His presence for all humanity will do this.

Romans 14:11 NKJV – For it is written: “AS I LIVE, SAYS THE LORD, EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW TO ME, AND EVERY TONGUE SHALL CONFESS TO GOD.”

It is time to face the Truth. It is time to face reality. Most don’t want to hear or accept how things really are and what the consequences are.

Most have embraced the belief that they can live their lives as they want and desire. All they need to do is go to a building called a “church” and they are welcome in heaven.

Why?

Because the person standing before them on the dais said it was so.

They say they follow God and Jesus then watch sports. Spend most of their earthly wealth on their covetous wants and desires. This makes them the lukewarm who are vomited from the Body of Christ. This is a verification they are not welcome in heaven.

Yet they become angry and fight this. For to accept it would mean they, their ancestors and their children will burn in the lake of fire for billions upon billions upon billions of years.

To borough form the movie “A Few Good Men” “You want the truth? You can’t handle the truth.”

This is a true statement. Most buildings that are called “churches” are filled with and run by people going to the lake of fire. For they for the most part were never saved to begin with. And if they are. They are now seen as dead in the sight of God and their names have been blotted out of the Book of Life by Christ Himself.

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..

Christ made it clear that what churches tell you to do in public is what we are to do in secret.

We are to give in secret. We are to pray in secret. We are to fast in secret. We are to downsize.

This is addressed in Matthew 6.

Churches teach people to become hypocrites just as they are. Not realizing they are leading people not to heaven but damnation. This has been done from one generation to the next for centuries. Which brings the reality to these verses.

Matthew 7:21-23 NKJV – “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

If they don’t teach people to downsize and tell them they can use all their money but ten percent for whatever they want they teach damnation. For Christ makes it very clear to the young rich man.

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.”

“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.”

“Sell whatever you have and give to the poor.”

Most that profess to being a Christian refuse this command. Yet again you can find it in Matthew 6.

Matthew 6:19-21 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.

Most deny this commandment and in so doing deny Christ. Who says this:

Matthew 10:33 NKJV – But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven.

So, as is made clear in the Word of God. Most that go to churches will have to stand before the Great White Throne Judgement instead of standing before God in white robes.

Why? because they have embraced hypocrisy. They have turned themselves into Pharisees and scribes.

Matthew 23:23-33 NKJV – “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faith. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone. Blind guides, who strain out a gnat and swallow a camel! “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you cleanse the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of extortion and self-indulgence. Blind Pharisee, first cleanse the inside of the cup and dish, that the outside of them may be clean also. “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness. Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness. “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you build the tombs of the prophets and adorn the monuments of the righteous, and say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.’ “Therefore you are witnesses against yourselves that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets. Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers’ guilt. Serpents, brood of vipers! How can you escape the condemnation of hell?

This is how Christ sees nearly all that now call themselves “Christians.” For they keep their earthly wealth all unto themselves and do not help the needy or spread the Word of God.

Time is quickly running out. They must act now if they wish to not face the judgment that is soon to befall all of humanity that still walks this planet. It will be something none will wish to endure. However, most will reject what is said here today. Many of these will volunteer to enter the lake of fire, than to confess that they have lived in sin.

It is truly and completely saddened that they will willingly chose this fate. However, that is the way it will be from this point forward.

God Bless

Intro

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.

Discussion

To begin this series. We must start with those that are now elderly so they can awaken to the Truth. For they need to hear this and need to face where they will stand when they awaken before the Lord.

2 Corinthians 5:1-8 NKJV – For we know that if our earthly house, this tent, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven, if indeed, having been clothed, we shall not be found naked. For we who are in this tent groan, being burdened, not because we want to be unclothed, but further clothed, that mortality may be swallowed up by life. Now He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who also has given us the Spirit as a guarantee. So we are always confident, knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord. For we walk by faith, not by sight. We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.

Understanding this Truth is one of the cornerstones of a follower of Christ. This is one of the things many don’t understand or more accurately wish to acknowledge.

I look on those the celebrate reaching being older than one hundred years of earthly age. Yet in our calling as servants of Christ we are to spread and teach the Word of God. If someone can accomplish this at this age. Then more glory there is to God and allow their life to continue.

However, if they have become a burden to those they claim to love. Why are they not groaning to stand in the presence of God? That is a question that must be asked by those that fall into this area.

Most don’t truly understand the will of God. This has been proven since before Christ walked this earth.

In the Great Depression God passed a judgement upon the United States of America. In this time, He forced people to live as He truly desired of them. To live a needs-only lifestyle.

They had barely enough food to survive but had clothing upon their bodies. They however, did not learn their lesson. Instead of embracing this lifestyle. Most went the entirely different way.

They sought after and embraced the gathering of earthly possessions. All because they suffered. They did without.  Because their wants and desires had been denied them. They embraced the earthly and gave God the middle finger. They chose the world over the Godly and the spreading of the True Gospel. All for their own wants, lusts and desires.

However, due to religion not true belief in God. They believe they are servants of God. When they confess for all to see that they worship what is of the world and ARE of the world and not of God. They say “praise glory to God through Jesus Christ.” But keep most their earthly wealth for their own covetous wants and desires. The Bible makes it very clear for all to see.

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.

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.

Because of their worship of mammon, which is defined as riches, money, possessions and property. They live in darkness, yet they think it is light. Yet how does the verse go?

Matthew 6:23 NKJV -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!

“If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!”

This is where many now live that are beyond their usefulness to God. They cling to this earthly life. Struggling to not let go of it. They fear their earthly death. Why fear it if they groan to stand in the presence of God?

Because their soul knows the truth. That they are not worthy to stand in the presence of God. They have become friends of the world.

James 4:4-5 NKJV – Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, “The Spirit who dwells in us yearns jealously”?

The Spirit that yearns jealously is yearning to stand in the presence of God. If someone fights against this yearning. If they hold dearly to this earthly life this again proclaims to the world that they fear standing before God. In the fifth letter in the book of Revelation the Glorified Christ speaks to those that think this way.

Revelation 3:1-6 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. “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” ‘

They cling to this earthly life because their soul knows that their name has been blotted out of the Book of Life. They cling to this life so strongly because they wish to deny this truth:

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

God through Jesus Christ tells them they can escape this. All they need to do is repent. Confess for all to hear that they lived a covetous lifestyle. That they have lived sinfully against the will of God. That they lived only for themselves and treated everything about them wrongly for they cling now to earthly life out of fear of God and damnation.

Once this is done and they submit to being kind to their caregivers. Then willing embrace a desire to groan to be in the presence of God. Then they do their best to praise God in every opportunity placing all others before themselves. Then when the release from this earthly life does occur, they will be truly joyous to stand in the presence of God.

I walked the halls of a retirement home. I have observed the behavior of those that also walk down them. I see how they behave and think. They see all revolving around themselves. Many embraces believes and behavior that goes against the teachings found within the Bible. However, they think and believe they are obedient follows of God through Christ.

In Romans the Christians that think this way are discussed within this letter. I will show the beginning of this. Then I will list from Chapter one the sins they support and echo.

Romans 2:1-11 NLT – You may think you can condemn such people, but you are just as bad, and you have no excuse! When you say they are wicked and should be punished, you are condemning yourself, for you who judge others do these very same things. And we know that God, in his justice, will punish anyone who does such things. Since you judge others for doing these things, why do you think you can avoid God’s judgment when you do the same things? Don’t you see how wonderfully kind, tolerant, and patient God is with you? Does this mean nothing to you? Can’t you see that his kindness is intended to turn you from your sin? But because you are stubborn and refuse to turn from your sin, you are storing up terrible punishment for yourself. For a day of anger is coming, when God’s righteous judgment will be revealed. He will judge everyone according to what they have done. He will give eternal life to those who keep on doing good, seeking after the glory and honor and immortality that God offers. But he will pour out his anger and wrath on those who live for themselves, who refuse to obey the truth and instead live lives of wickedness. There will be trouble and calamity for everyone who keeps on doing what is evil—for the Jew first and also for the Gentile. But there will be glory and honor and peace from God for all who do good—for the Jew first and also for the Gentile. For God does not show favoritism.

Now the sins that is referenced in the statement “for you who judge others do these very same things.”

Romans 1:28-32 NKJV – And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.

Most of those people will say they have not nor ever have done these sins. However, note:

“knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.”

Someone told me recently while watching a show on how real murders are solved said this:

“I never knew there was so many murders in this nation.”

This is called willful ignorance. It is defined as someone that chooses not to educate themselves on important issues or who actively resist learning new information that contradicts their beliefs.

Their world revolves within their own personal world they have created around themselves. Focused upon how they live this earthly life not upon gaining true disciples for Christ and living a needs-only lifestyle. They lived a life that was solely focused upon their own wants and desires. A lifestyle that led to the greatest deterioration of Christianity in decades if not centuries.

However, in this. I believe it is as it was designed by God. However, people. Each person still has a duty not only to God, but in themselves about how they will have a relationship with Him through Jesus Christ. Most now choose the ways, wants and desires of the world. In strong part due to how these elderly raised, taught or did teach the following generations. Which is why they struggle to stay here instead of groan to be in the presence of God.

Many think that they did good teaching people a few Bible verses instead of teaching them how to live a lifestyle. All teaching people a few verses did was teach hypocrisy not how to live a God-fearing lifestyle. Key elements that should have been taught. Give in secret. Pray in secret. Fast in secret and downsize. Using most our earthly wealth to help the poor and spread the Word of God.

God Bless

Discussion

1 Peter 1:13-19 AMP – So brace up your minds; be sober (circumspect, morally alert); set your hope wholly and unchangeably on the grace (divine favor) that is coming to you when Jesus Christ (the Messiah) is revealed. [Live] as children of obedience [to God]; do not conform yourselves to the evil desires [that governed you] in your former ignorance [when you did not know the requirements of the Gospel]. But as the One Who called you is holy, you yourselves also be holy in all your conduct and manner of living. For it is written, You shall be holy, for I am holy. [Lev. 11:44, 45.] And if you call upon Him as [your] Father Who judges each one impartially according to what he does, [then] you should conduct yourselves with true reverence throughout the time of your temporary residence [on the earth, whether long or short]. You must know (recognize) that you were redeemed (ransomed) from the useless (fruitless) way of living inherited by tradition from [your] forefathers, not with corruptible things [such as] silver and gold, But [you were purchased] with the precious blood of Christ (the Messiah), like that of a [sacrificial] lamb without blemish or spot.

Within these verses is a very clear statement. A statement that is direct in its declaration. It is made by the one that denied Christ three times before His crucifixion.

Before I continue, a sidetrack. A story of the twelve. The chosen apostles. One rejected Him for mammon. Mammon is riches, money, possessions, property. 10 ran and hid. Of these 10, one outright denied Him three times. Then one and one alone stood courageously. Standing before the cross as Christ died.

The one who rejected Him for mammon hung himself. The ten that hide died horrible deaths. The one that denied Him was hung upon a cross upside down. However, they preached the True Word of God until their murders. The one that stood strong before Him as He died for all our sins lived to die of natural causes. Even though he was poisoned and even placed into boiling oil. This last one also was given the blessing of writing what would become the last book of the Bible, the book of Revelation, in the 90s AD.

“[Live] as children of obedience [to God]; do not conform yourselves to the evil desires [that governed you] in your former ignorance [when you did not know the requirements of the Gospel].

“Live as children of obedience to God.”

Obedience. This is spelled out at the end of the sentence.

“When you did not know the requirements of the Gospel.”

So, there are requirements given in the Gospel. Let’s define the word “requirement.”

Requirement – something that you must do, or something you need.

“Something you must do.” These words bring us to this from the Word of God.

Matthew 5:17-19 NKJV – “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

This clearly states that the laws given to us by the Prophets of the OT as well as the commandments written down within the books of Deuteronomy and Leviticus that were not removed by the cross ARE still in effect. The only laws removed were those that dealt with sacrifice. How we live our daily lives are still in effect. How we dress, not getting tattoos are still in effect.

Deuteronomy 6:1-2 NKJV – “Now this is the commandment, and these are the statutes and judgments which the LORD your God has commanded to teach you, that you may observe them in the land which you are crossing over to possess, that you may fear the LORD your God, to keep all His statutes and His commandments which I command you, you and your son and your grandson, all the days of your life, and that your days may be prolonged.

Deuteronomy 6:5-7 NKJV – You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. “And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.

 Deuteronomy 6:17-19 NKJV – You shall diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God, His testimonies, and His statutes which He has commanded you. And you shall do what is right and good in the sight of the LORD, that it may be well with you, and that you may go in and possess the good land of which the LORD swore to your fathers, to cast out all your enemies from before you, as the LORD has spoken.

Deuteronomy 6:24-25 NKJV – And the LORD commanded us to observe all these statutes, to fear the LORD our God, for our good always, that He might preserve us alive, as it is this day. Then it will be righteousness for us, if we are careful to observe all these commandments before the LORD our God, as He has commanded us.’

Deuteronomy 11:1 NKJV – “Therefore you shall love the LORD your God, and keep His charge, His statutes, His judgments, and His commandments always.

Deuteronomy 11:13-19 NKJV – ‘And it shall be that if you earnestly obey My commandments which I command you today, to love the LORD your God and serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul, then I will give you the rain for your land in its season, the early rain and the latter rain, that you may gather in your grain, your new wine, and your oil. And I will send grass in your fields for your livestock, that you may eat and be filled.’ Take heed to yourselves, lest your heart be deceived, and you turn aside and serve other gods and worship them, lest the LORD’s anger be aroused against you, and He shut up the heavens so that there be no rain, and the land yield no produce, and you perish quickly from the good land which the LORD is giving you. “Therefore you shall lay up these words of mine in your heart and in your soul, and bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall teach them to your children, speaking of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.

Deuteronomy 15:1-5 NKJV – “At the end of every seven years you shall grant a release of debts. And this is the form of the release: Every creditor who has lent anything to his neighbor shall release it; he shall not require it of his neighbor or his brother, because it is called the LORD’s release. Of a foreigner you may require it; but you shall give up your claim to what is owed by your brother, except when there may be no poor among you; for the LORD will greatly bless you in the land which the LORD your God is giving you to possess as an inheritance— only if you carefully obey the voice of the LORD your God, to observe with care all these commandments which I command you today.

Deuteronomy 15:9-11 NKJV – Beware lest there be a wicked thought in your heart, saying, ‘The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand,’ and your eye be evil against your poor brother and you give him nothing, and he cry out to the LORD against you, and it become sin among you. You shall surely give to him, and your heart should not be grieved when you give to him, because for this thing the LORD your God will bless you in all your works and in all to which you put your hand. For the poor will never cease from the land; therefore I command you, saying, ‘You shall open your hand wide to your brother, to your poor and your needy, in your land.’

Deuteronomy 16:18-22 NKJV – “You shall appoint judges and officers in all your gates, which the LORD your God gives you, according to your tribes, and they shall judge the people with just judgment. You shall not pervert justice; you shall not show partiality, nor take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the righteous. You shall follow what is altogether just, that you may live and inherit the land which the LORD your God is giving you. “You shall not plant for yourself any tree, as a wooden image, near the altar which you build for yourself to the LORD your God. You shall not set up a sacred pillar, which the LORD your God hates.

Deuteronomy 18:9-14 NKJV – “When you come into the land which the LORD your God is giving you, you shall not learn to follow the abominations of those nations. There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, or one who practices witchcraft, or a soothsayer, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, or one who conjures spells, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead. For all who do these things are an abomination to the LORD, and because of these abominations the LORD your God drives them out from before you. You shall be blameless before the LORD your God. For these nations which you will dispossess listened to soothsayers and diviners; but as for you, the LORD your God has not appointed such for you.

Deuteronomy 27:15-26 NKJV – ‘Cursed is the one who makes a carved or molded image, an abomination to the LORD, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and sets it up in secret.’ “And all the people shall answer and say, ‘Amen!’ ‘Cursed is the one who treats his father or his mother with contempt.’ “And all the people shall say, ‘Amen!’ ‘Cursed is the one who moves his neighbor’s landmark.’ “And all the people shall say, ‘Amen!’ ‘Cursed is the one who makes the blind to wander off the road.’ “And all the people shall say, ‘Amen!’ ‘Cursed is the one who perverts the justice due the stranger, the fatherless, and widow.’ “And all the people shall say, ‘Amen!’ ‘Cursed is the one who lies with his father’s wife, because he has uncovered his father’s bed.’ “And all the people shall say, ‘Amen!’ ‘Cursed is the one who lies with any kind of animal.’ “And all the people shall say, ‘Amen!’ ‘Cursed is the one who lies with his sister, the daughter of his father or the daughter of his mother.’ “And all the people shall say, ‘Amen!’ ‘Cursed is the one who lies with his mother-in-law.’ “And all the people shall say, ‘Amen!’ ‘Cursed is the one who attacks his neighbor secretly.’ “And all the people shall say, ‘Amen!’ ‘Cursed is the one who takes a bribe to slay an innocent person.’ “And all the people shall say, ‘Amen!’ ‘Cursed is the one who does not confirm all the words of this law.’ “And all the people shall say, ‘Amen!’ “

The laws that are still in effect from the book of Leviticus start in chapter 18 and go from there. Know that they’re still in effect. Know that most are ignored.

Abandoned by even those that profess to being “Christian” the most. Yes. You heard that correctly. Most that now profess to being followers of Jesus Christ say the laws are no longer needed. The moment they say this they call the Word of God a lie, thus calling God Himself a liar.

It is truly sad. The time for repentance is now. For if you don’t repent now, it will be too late. For time is nearly up. The first and smallest rapture shall occur soon. Sooner than most ever expect or know. Downsizing is required and ordered from the Word of God itself. Most live in luxury and deny this requirement and make themselves lukewarm. Seen as worse than those that outright deny God. But they refuse to acknowledge this Truth. Truly and completely sad.

God Bless, if you truly listen.

Discussion

I find it interesting when Hollywood makes movies about people that call themselves “Christian.” I don’t mean the way they show the snobbery and uppishness that is portrayed in most side characters in modern movies and TV shows. But the main protagonist of a movie. I have two examples. The movies “Keys to the Kingdom” (1944) and “Hacksaw Ridge.” (2016)

In both these films they pick a group that teaches dissension. That these groups are the only way to heaven. As you can tell from the way I have worded things, these are two different groups. For the first movie it is Catholicism. For the second movie it is the Seventh Day Adventist.

I could go into the problems with these two groups. However, most would tune it out or just stop reading or listening. I am not here to go through a rehash of these issues about these groups, but about Hollywood. The movie industry. It was their choice to pick from these two groups. These two groups teach that they are the only way to heaven.

Now here I will get a different type of protest. Being that Christianity teaches that the only way to heaven is through Jesus Christ. As witnessed here:

John 14:6 NKJV – Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

Again, that is not the purpose of today’s teaching.

It is this reality that they picked these two groups. The mere fact that they did pick them still turns people away from the Truth. They will run to Catholicism, they will run to the Seventh Day Adventist, but not God. They run to man-made doctrines and teachings and not the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Now in both these movies they show the protagonist and someone that had been humbled. I will go a step further. I say that they show someone that is a true follower of Christ.

Yes, you heard me correctly, as once again confusion rears its head at what was just said.

If people would actually study the Bible for themselves. They would learn that what I just said has more bearing upon the Truth than what those in Hollywood would have wished to occur. Or yet another way to look at it. When teaching lies, they must have elements of truth shine through so that their lie will be a sweet taste upon the minds of those watching these films.

In both movies the lead character shows more true discipleship to Jesus Christ than anyone in the film or those watching. The thing is most don’t even register this truth, but if they do, they will seek it within the two man-made religions offered in these films.

Now I wish to make a point here. It will also show that how you look at the Word of God in a particular issue in some cases may give a view of the truth. Again, that many don’t wish to hear.

Matthew 7:13-14 NKJV – “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.

I honestly believe, by the mere fact that Christianity still exists at all is due to that fact of those that have taken the narrow path for the last two thousand years. The majority of these years was under the manipulation of the Catholic Church. Yet Christianity still survived and surfaced. This was seen when Martin Luther started the Reformation nearly 1100 years after the Catholic Church came to power and made it illegal for the commoner to even read a Bible.

Are you starting to see? Are you starting to understand?

Most are now seeing how corrupt Hollywood is.

Allow me to give an example. Most in Hollywood use their “fame” to dictate to those that watch their films or TV shows. I remember when it was the unwritten law that those that performed as actors kept their personal lives separate from their roles. And thus, kept them secret. A prime example. Rock Hudson. A leading actor that most respected and liked his performances. He was the lead in many romance films. He even played a minister that was also a pilot in the Air Force, in a film I could have used as another example. However, due to what is about to be said it was best I didn’t. For it was revealed upon his death that in reality he was a homosexual and had a male partner most his life. The only reason this became known was because he died of AIDS. This news shocked the entire world. Now those that keep their personal lives and thoughts to themselves are the exception instead of the norm as it once had been.

This is the way Hollywood works though. It is an industry built around stories. Fiction. Lies. It encourages the worship of humanity. To cause those watching to esteem and emulate the protagonist. What does the Bible say about this esteeming?

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.”

Hollywood teachs people to become an abomination to God. It encourages them to seek after mammon. What is mammon?

Mammon – G3126 – mamónas – riches, money, possessions, property.

Mammon is that which is highly esteemed among men and especially those within the movie and TV industry. Just look at the theme of movies through the years. A core element in many is the seeking after the accumulation of mammon.  To have those watching to picking mammon over what is Godly.

Therefore, the majority of “entertainment” that is presented on the big screen and for that matter: the little screen in your houses.  These are designed to turn you from God. They teach those watching to glorify humans, never God. Also to distract you from reading the Word of God.

This verse makes it very clear so I will restate it.

Luke 16:13 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.”

The movie and television industry teaches and promotes mammon. Therefore, those presented in this industry can never serve God. Why never? Because it is made clear those in this industry serve and are loyal to mammon. Therefore, they despise God and all that goes with Him. This is seen in many ways if you just truly look and listen.

Now look at this verse from the Bible and place those being talked to here as those that are within the Hollywood industry.

John 8:44 NKJV – You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.

By reinforcing that seeking after mammon those in this industry murder millions upon millions. Leading them to eternal damnation.

Look to 2 Peter.

2 Peter 2:1-19 NKJV – But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction. And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed. By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber. For if God did not spare the angels who sinned, but cast them down to hell and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for judgment; and did not spare the ancient world, but saved Noah, one of eight people, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood on the world of the ungodly; and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, making them an example to those who afterward would live ungodly; and delivered righteous Lot, who was oppressed by the filthy conduct of the wicked (for that righteous man, dwelling among them, tormented his righteous soul from day to day by seeing and hearing their lawless deeds)— then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust under punishment for the day of judgment, and especially those who walk according to the flesh in the lust of uncleanness and despise authority. They are presumptuous, self-willed. They are not afraid to speak evil of dignitaries, whereas angels, who are greater in power and might, do not bring a reviling accusation against them before the Lord. But these, like natural brute beasts made to be caught and destroyed, speak evil of the things they do not understand, and will utterly perish in their own corruption, and will receive the wages of unrighteousness, as those who count it pleasure to carouse in the daytime. They are spots and blemishes, carousing in their own deceptions while they feast with you, having eyes full of adultery and that cannot cease from sin, enticing unstable souls. They have a heart trained in covetous practices, and are accursed children. They have forsaken the right way and gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness; but he was rebuked for his iniquity: a dumb donkey speaking with a man’s voice restrained the madness of the prophet. These are wells without water, clouds carried by a tempest, for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever. For when they speak great swelling words of emptiness, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through lewdness, the ones who have actually escaped from those who live in error. While they promise them liberty, they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by whom a person is overcome, by him also he is brought into bondage.

Bondage that leads to eternal death. AKA murder of the soul for all eternity. Joining Satan and all that embrace becoming an abomination in the sight of the Lord through Jesus Christ.

God Bless

“You are short sighted.”

This is one of those statements someone makes to many that have embraced their Christian faith. They say that following the Bible limits you. That there is more to the world than what can be found within the Bible. It would be laughable if it weren’t so sad.

When someone accepts Jesus Christ as their Savior and strive to be a reflection of Him, by following the teachings within the Bible, does not limit them. They actually expands their horizons.

Many that embrace science fiction are those searching for a future that will have amazement and wonders. They seek after teleportation, terraforming, celestial phenomena, dinosaurs, higher beings, including ascension into a higher life form, immortality, multiple dimensions, creation.

They seek after these things because they wish to expand their horizons and seek after a wondrous reality if not for them, but for their children, or their children, or their children. To me this is true short sightedness. Even though they do seek after these things they feel they are unattainable to them. That their life is meaningless to the point that they wish to tear down society as it now stands to hurry the arrival of this new phenomenal world that is yet to be. This is true short sightedness. This is not what those that truly understand their belief in God expect or accept.

Through the Bible they know these things have taken place, are taking place and will take place: terraforming, celestial phenomena, dinosaurs, higher beings, including ascension into a higher life form; immortality, multiple dimensions, creation. What is most important is that they themselves can be an eternal witness to these very things and are themselves promised to ascend into higher and immortal beings as servants of the One who created it all. The Lord God Almighty.

The Lord God that is within the alternate dimension, or reality if you like. That is called Heaven. Whose Son after His resurrection appeared out of nowhere into a locked room twice.

So who is in reality short sighted? The person that thinks only of today, tomorrow, this temporal life span of up to about one hundred years. Or the person that turns to God and His Son and plans for their life to come in their ascended and immortal bodies that all humanity is promised to have. A life that will last billions upon billions of years. A life that will be filled with wonder and sights so beautiful it will put all the beauty of this planet to shame.

For those that are the true short sighted though. Theirs is not this spectacular. Theirs is to be left in one place, one location, in continual pain and mental and physical torment. All due to their true short-sighted beliefs that the Bible is nothing but a book to be changed to their temporal whims and desires. Why? Because they wish to live in their personal version of happiness now, not when God has promised it to them in the enteral life to come. How truly sorrowing it is to me to write these words, for my love for my neighbor is for them to accept Jesus Christ and to stop living in sin. For as long as they seek temporal rewards, they have sealed their own fate themselves, and they have only themselves to blame.

Let us look at these things that are found within Science Fiction that appeals to those that wish to deny the existence of God.

Teleportation

Genesis 19:16 KJV – And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the LORD being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city.

Acts 8:39-40 KJV – And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing. But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.

In the first example we see Lot and his family removed from their house and taken to the gates of Sodom. In the second example we see Phillp under orders of the Holy Spirit to go to a road that goes from Jerusalem to Gaza. From this road after baptizing the Ethiopian he is taken to Azotus. This is a distance of approximately twenty miles from the road to Gaza over undefined terrain. How the wording is shown in these verses. This is done instantaneously, just as it was for Jesus Christ when he appeared in the locked room.

Terraforming

Revelation 21:1 KJV  And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

This verse was self-explanatory.

 Celestial phenomena

Joshua 10:13 KJV – And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.

Isaiah 38:8 KJV – Behold, I will bring again the shadow of the degrees, which is gone down in the sun dial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward. So the sun returned ten degrees, by which degrees it was gone down.

Once again self-explanatory. They have written off and tried to hide the fact that they had to include these events in the calculations needed to land upon the moon. Now to those that are lunar landing naysayers. We’re talking 1969. All the excuses you use to say the landing was made up were physically and technologically impossible to make the landing be untrue. In actuality the space race caused the creation of these very technologies people say caused the fallacy to be created decades after the landings actually occurred. This comes from someone who was alive in 1969 and at that time the transiter, which was created due to the space race was just coming into its own.

Dinosaurs

Job 40:15-18 KJV – Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox. Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly. He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together. His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.

Look at the behemoth in Job. A tail upon the creature is described as being like a Lebanon cedar. For the longest time many could not say that this “behemoth” was in fact a dinosaur since for years they had tails from dinosaurs dragging the ground. Then scientist figured out that their tails actually went straight back and looks like the trunk of a cedar tree, long straight and tappers to a point. Moreover, Lebanon cedars were huge, used as pillars and masts. So again, science confirms the Bible and thus confirms God. Just think about that for a bit.

Ascension into a higher life form; immortality

1 Corinthians 15:52-53 KJV – In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

The one thing that those that deny God don’t want to accept is that the promised immortality found within the Bible is offered to them. To them personally. It is not something for our descendants, but for every single person that was ever conceived.

Now I use the word conceived for a reason. For God knows all before they were even conceived.

Jeremiah 1:5 NKJV – “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.”

Do you think Jeremiah is the only person God knows before they are born? I think not. With that in mind then saying “that was ever conceived” works.

Therefore, ALL humanity. Be they sinner or saint WILL receive eternity. It is just how they will receive it. In the service of God or in eternal agony.

It is this last statement that makes people short sighted. Because most do not want to accept, they may face billions upon billions of years in pain and agony. They say, “How can a God do this to people.”

Again, this new last statement shows people are truly short sighted, and ignorant of the truth. God doesn’t do this to people. They do it to themselves. All are judged by THEIR works. Their actions. Their behavior. Their sins. People put themselves either in the service of God or in the lake of fire. This is shown in Romans 2:1-11 for those that call themselves “Christians.” It is shown in Revelation 20:11-15 for all others. That it is their actions that places them where they will live for all eternity.

You need to stop being short sighted. You need to stop listening to lies. You need to accept that we will face judgement if we don’t end sin within our lives. All that don’t accept Jesus Christ will stand before the Great White Throne Judgement.

Here is another thing that many are short sighted about. They think they can say they follow Christ and still have the huge house, the fancy vehicles and clothes. This is a lie. Their short sightedness has turned them into the lukewarm.

Becoming the lukewarm makes them worse than those that were short sighted and denied there is a God. They too, even though they at first accepted Christ as their Savior, will stand before the Great White Throne Judgement.

This is what happens to all that choose to be short sighted. Be they so-called “Christian.” Or they call themselves Atheist, Agnostic or follow some other man-made religion.

Oh. There it is. Someone reading or listening just made another short-sighted statement. A statement that Christianity is a man-made religion. The religions that came out of the teachings found within the Bible are mostly man-made religions.

True followers for Jesus Christ do not follow religious doctrines. They follow what the Bible teaches. They attempt to live a needs-only lifestyle. They spread the Word of God. They place all others before themselves. For they desire for all to be accepted as Children of God and are fully dedicated to achieving this goal.

Time is quickly running out. Stop being short sighted and accept Jesus Christ as your Savior. Therefore, the eternal life you are to live will be one filled with joy and not one filled with eternal agony. It is truly up to you and you alone. There is no once saved always saved. There is no faith is all you need. There is a God. He created everything. He has approached you. You were just being short sighted because you think it all revolves around you. Your choices do, but nothing else. It is your choice on where you will face eternity. Your choice.

I mean you have accepted all that Sci-Fi offers and teaches. Why can’t you try and be long-sighted. Open your mind to expanding your horizons. Horizons that can lead to billions and billions of years exploring a new universe and living upon a new earth where there are no oceans.

God Bless

One of the greatest sorrows that is witnessed in this world today, is the belief that all you need say is: “I believe in Jesus” and call yourself a “Christian” and you are all set for an eternal life in heaven.

This is a lie. PERIOD.

Stop. Stop getting angry. Stop saying that what you are reading or hearing here is BS.

Listen. Pay attention. Learn. First step. If you did get angry at what was just said listen to the Bible.

Galatians 5:19-21 NKJV – Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

“Hatred.” “Contentions.” “Outbursts of wrath.”

All of these are words that reflect anger that is what was just expressed just now. What is the fate of any that shows this type of anger?

“Those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.”

Now we have to truly understand the pretext of these words written to the Galatians. These were people that had asked Jesus to be their Savior. They had been baptized. They were saved. Yet, what is the very first thing written to the people of Galatia after the greeting?

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.

They started listening to a false gospel. A gospel that used the Truth and the Name of Christ. However, it was not the Truth any longer. What was it they were listening to? This is answered in the tenth verse, so I will address this with a different translation.

Galatians 1:10 AMP – Now am I trying to win the favor of men, or of God? Do I seek to please men? If I were still seeking popularity with men, I should not be a bond servant of Christ (the Messiah).

“Do I seek to please men.” “If I were still seeking popularity with men.”

Now understand. Most that stand upon the dais and face the crowd seek to please those listening to them. This means they are not bond servants of God. They are false teachers. They are twice over cursed to damnation. For they are not leading people to Salvation, but along with them to damnation. Because the message they are teaching does not teach those listening to stop living in the sins listed in the fifth chapter of the letter to the people of Galatia.

Accordingly, the larger the building called a “church” and the larger the congregation that goes to these buildings are in truth already damned. Especially if they show any of the sins given in chapter 5. So, I will restate them once again.

“Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like.”

I remember back to my early days of my Christian life. I remember wanting to inform parents about the subtle influence of Satan in cartoons that was leading their children away from Christ. I went to a large church one Sunday morning and I was placing flyers upon windows of vehicles in the parking lot. I was approached by a man who confronted me and then cursing chased me out of the church parking lot. I didn’t realize it then. As I do now that this was varication that this large “church” was not in the service of God, but Satan. As are all buildings that use the word “church.” The bigger the closer to Satan than to God.

Once again. A building that is called a “church” is not the Church of God. It is those that profess to following Jesus Christ and live a life as taught within the Word of God.

Now right here someone will protest saying we must gather together.

Hebrews 10:24-25 NKJV – And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.

Gathering together in a building that preaches false teachings is not the gathering of fellow Christians. This is actually done more on social media than in buildings or even homes. This is the Truth and any who challenge it wish to be pleased. Marking them as people from Galatia not the Body of Christ. Therefore, as many in Galatia they are not welcome in the kingdom of God.

Angry again? Really? More varication. There is a need to start listening to the Truth and not something that tickles your ears.

2 Timothy 3:16- 4:4 NKJV – All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom: Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.

“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.”

Well the time has come when people do not endure sound doctrine. They seek to have their own desires met. Their comforts, their riches, their possessions, their property. For they have turned away from the Truth and ARE turning aside to fables.

How is it I know they are turning aside to fables?

We don’t have to go far. Let’s look at the extremely popular TV series “The Chosen.”

I watched the first three episodes. All I encountered was false teachings and outright lies. Even things that were said and done that have absolutely no historical or Biblical foundation.

A fable is defined as a short story that tells a general truth or is only partly based on fact, or literature of this type.

“Or is partly based on fact.”  If only part of it is based upon fact the rest of it is based upon what?

A lie. That makes the entire thing a lie. And who created lies?

John 8:44 NKJV – You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.

Since “The Chosen” is a fable aka lies. It is of Satan not of God and must be rejected. However, again there will be anger and laughter. Because it makes people feel good. They are pleased by what they hear and see. So, again as reflected in the first chapter of Galatians those that made it are twice cursed. Not by my word, but the Word of God.

Cursed to damnation for they are leading those that watch and praise it not to heaven but to the lake of fire. For there is no such thing as once saved always saved. For that would imply that God shows favoritism, which is opposite of what is taught by the word of God.

Romans 2:6-11 NLT – He will judge everyone according to what they have done. He will give eternal life to those who keep on doing good, seeking after the glory and honor and immortality that God offers. But he will pour out his anger and wrath on those who live for themselves, who refuse to obey the truth and instead live lives of wickedness. There will be trouble and calamity for everyone who keeps on doing what is evil—for the Jew first and also for the Gentile. But there will be glory and honor and peace from God for all who do good—for the Jew first and also for the Gentile. For God does not show favoritism.

These Words in Romans were aimed directly at those professing to be “Christian.” Again those living in sin and yet professing to be followers of Christ. It is made clear they shall face judgement.

Now one of the things people that cling to OSAS and faith alone is these verses.

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.

Now this resurrection is shown to take place and occurs in Revelation Chapter 7. This is shown to take place at the middle of the Tribulation. However, it is said elsewhere in the Bible that Christ will return as a thief in the night. This shows two separate events for at the middle of the tribulation the sun and the moon’s light will be cut in half. That is a sign a portent. Then Christ could not come as a thieve in the night for there are warning signs. The sun and the moon. Therefore, this clearly shows multiple raptures  form what is called the first resurrection.

All that are resurrected up to the middle of the tribulation are included in the first resurrection. Now what does these verses in Revelation chapter twenty say?

“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.”

Those that truly follow the teachings of Christ and are either in the first or second rapture will never stand in judgement.

One of those popular people that stand upon the dais said that if you are a true disciple of Christ. That WHEN you stand before the judgement throne you will be passed and go on to glory. This is opposite of what we just heard from the Word of God. Consequently, this labels this man as what he truly is a man pleasing those listening. So we once again return to Galatians one showing he is twice cursed. And those that pack the pews are loving having their ears tickled with this man’s people pleasing message.

Believing they will come into heaven no matter how they live their lives.  Once again, totally opposite what is taught within the Word of God.

It must be understood. There is still a little time left to all to fix their relationship with God. Do you know how many people that I know for a fact that profess to being “Christian” and go to the buildings called “church.” However, they do behave in the ways listed in Galatians 5. Or they live in the sins listed in Romans 1.

Romans 1:28-32 NKJV – And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.

Repent. Downsize. Live a needs-only lifestyle. Remove the sins. Remove the sins. Remove the sins.

God Bless

Discussion

Matthew 3:1-12 NKJV – In those days John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judea, and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!” For this is he who was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah, saying: “THE VOICE OF ONE CRYING IN THE WILDERNESS: ‘PREPARE THE WAY OF THE LORD; MAKE HIS PATHS STRAIGHT.’ ” Now John himself was clothed in camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist; and his food was locusts and wild honey. Then Jerusalem, all Judea, and all the region around the Jordan went out to him and were baptized by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins. But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, “Brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance, and do not think to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones. And even now the ax is laid to the root of the trees. Therefore every tree which does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. His winnowing fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor, and gather His wheat into the barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”

I started today with these verses for a reason. The other day I saw on social media one of those guys that stands up before an audience and attempts to preach the Word of God. AKA a false teacher.

What clued me in was his scare tactic in the words he spoke in this media snippet. He said that if you miss the rapture, which most will. Look at most of my past teachings to understand why I say most. However, I won’t waste my time at this moment.

Anyway, He said if you miss the rapture. Go hide in a cave.

Let’s look at that last sentence. “Go hide in a cave.”

Revelation 6:15-17 NKJV – And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, and said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?”

These words are spoken by those that have denied God. Denied Jesus Christ. Therefore in essence this false teacher is speaking to non-believers. He is speaking to his own kind.

Also we must understand something else about these verses. The first six seals occur before antichrist is revealed. The mentioned verses earlier occur just before the antichrist is fully revealed. He is fully revealed when?

Daniel 9:27 NKJV – Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week; But in the middle of the week He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate, Even until the consummation, which is determined, Is poured out on the desolate.”

“In the middle of the week.”

This indicates that the seventh seal is in the last half of the tribulation. The sixth seal happens just before the last rapture of the those that are Christian and are uncountable.

Revelation 7:9-14 NKJV – After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” All the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, saying: “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom, Thanksgiving and honor and power and might, Be to our God forever and ever. Amen.” Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, “Who are these arrayed in white robes, and where did they come from?” And I said to him, “Sir, you know.” So he said to me, “These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

The last rapture occurs when the light of the sun and the moon is cut in half. When the antichrist is fully revealed. Therefore any left after the middle of the tribulation are not nor ever were Christian. Therefore, sure go hide in caves…. Heathens.

Now back on point.

Why mention John the Baptist? Because this is how those that truly seek to follow Christ and find themselves here after the first rapture SHOULD start to live. In the wilderness. Living in rags preaching the True Word of God. Pointing out the false teachers that live seeking what the world esteems.

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.

For clarity Mammon is defined as riches, money, possessions, property.

Simply we are to live a needs-only lifestyle and spread the word of God. This will not be extremely easy after the first rapture. For it will become extremely difficult to sell and purchase. This is due to that fact that is when people will be given the choice to accept the mark of the beast thus allow them to buy and sell or be beheaded. Much like how John the Baptist died.

Matthew 14:1-11 NKJV – At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the report about Jesus and said to his servants, “This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead, and therefore these powers are at work in him.” For Herod had laid hold of John and bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife. Because John had said to him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.” And although he wanted to put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet. But when Herod’s birthday was celebrated, the daughter of Herodias danced before them and pleased Herod. Therefore he promised with an oath to give her whatever she might ask. So she, having been prompted by her mother, said, “Give me John the Baptist’s head here on a platter.” And the king was sorry; nevertheless, because of the oaths and because of those who sat with him, he commanded it to be given to her. So he sent and had John beheaded in prison. And his head was brought on a platter and given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother.

Since we know those that refuse to take the mark will be beheaded as witnessed by this verse:

Revelation 20:4 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 why were they definitely beheaded?

“Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God.”

This is verification that those that are left after the first rapture have a defined task they must perform. They MUST preach the Word of God and insist that only through Jesus Christ can salvation be achieved.

So any that tells you to run and hide in a cave are showing who they serve and it is not the Son of God. For it is made very clear that if we truly profess to being a child of God we will willingly and proudly profess the Truth of the Word of God unto their death. Thus making them worthy of the white robes they will wear when they stand before the Throne of God.

“These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.”

Once again how are they going to wash their robes and make them white? By the action, by the works of teaching the Truth about God through Jesus Christ and calling a sin a sin. This is made very clear in the wording of the sentence. As verified when looking at how it is written in the KJV:

“These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.”

This clearly shows that it is their actions that helps in how they wash their robes in the blood of the Lamb. As we have shown earlier it is by preaching about Jesus and the Word of God.

This further shows that those that preach of only a pre-tribulation rapture are teaching a falsehood and so label themselves as false teachers. There will be multiple raptures. The first and the smallest will be the pre-tribulation. The largest will be the second rapture and the last for those that profess to being followers of Jesus Christ. AKA Christians. True Christians. Those that do not seek to hide in caves. But proudly stand before all saying that only through Jesus Christ can salvation truly be achieved. By saying these words:

“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!”

God Bless

Discussion

Luke 6:30-34 NKJV – Give to everyone who asks of you. And from him who takes away your goods do not ask them back. And just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise. “But if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. And if you lend to those from whom you hope to receive back, what credit is that to you? For even sinners lend to sinners to receive as much back.

I was reminded the other day that many who live in sin and even denial of God Himself do good. They love, they care for their loved ones. They go about living as decent earthly law abiding citizens. However, they deny the Godly laws and so live in sin.

This is why these things are not considered works. Yet we are all judged by our works. This is verified to those that profess to being “Christian” In Romans 2:1-11. To all others in Revelation 20:11-15.

Then what constitutes the works we are judged upon? That is actually easy to answer. However, most refuse to obey.

Matthew 28:18-20 NKJV – And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in my name, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.

Make disciples of all the nations.

Baptize them in the name of Jesus Christ.

Teach them to observe all things that Jesus commanded.

So let us look at what Jesus commanded.

Matthew 5:17-19 NKJV – “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

Remove anger from your heart (Matthew 5:21-26)

Do not even think of lusting after anyone (Matthew 5:27-30)

Only divorce in cases of sexual immorality or not at all (Matthew 5:31-32)

Do not swear an oath on anything especially God (Matthew 5:33-37)

Do not retaliate or seek vengeance (Matthew 5:38-42)

Love your enemies and be kind to those that hate you and persecute you (Matthew 5:43-48)

When you give to those in need do it where you will receive no recognition by anyone safe God Himself (Matthew 6:1-4)

Never pray in public where others can see you and only pray in the way shown in these verses (Matthew 6:5-15)

When you fast do so in secret, so no human is aware that you do so. (Matthew 6:16-18)

Do not seek after earthly wealth, property or possessions. For if you do seek after it you will care more for these things than for God and His Son Jesus Christ. You will think that you are the light of God but in reality, you are blind and live in evil darkness. (Matthew 6:19-24)

Do not worry about your daily troubles for they are a test to see if you will depend upon God through Jesus Christ. (Matthew 6:25-34)

Do not judge others when you are committing the very same sins. First remove the sins from your life then you can teach others not to commit these sins. (Matthew 7:1-5)

Do not try to help those that will turn and attack you. (Matthew 7:6)

Matthew 7:12 NKJV – Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.

These are Christ’s commandments in addition to following those laws and commands from the prophets that were not removed by the cross. For clarification. Only those laws governing sacrifice were removed by the cross. All other laws on how to live. How to dress, and to govern how we live are still in effect and governed by the greatest commandments.

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.”

These two are the most important. To live with God at the center of our daily lives. To treat all others as we would treat ourselves.

Would you do evil to yourself? Really, would you? Then stop throwing out the cruelty of humans in the past. Did you live then? Did you commit these cruelties? Then stop using them as an excuse not to place God at the center of your life and to treat all others as you treat yourself.

Then actually start to follow the commandments.

Now we all need to get this into our heads. How we live now. Especially if you profess to being a follower of Christ. Is not. I repeat is not how Christ taught us to live. Only an extremely few live or strive to live their lives as taught by Jesus Christ.

Extremely view.

Get that into your heads.

We have to abandon all that we have thought and been taught by humanity. We must embrace a new mentality. One that begins with living a needs-only lifestyle as taught within the Bible.

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.

This is how we are to live. This is how we are to act. How most live and act now is not what the Bible has taught. In fact, Jesus mentioned this behavior.

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.

Mammon – G3126 – mamónas – riches, money, possessions, property.

Riches, money, possessions, property. All this is what men esteem and so is an abomination in the sight of God.

As I have taught in the past. The word “abomination” is only used six times in the NT. Four of those times it is in reference to the antichrist and those that follow him. Therefore, seeking after riches. Seeking after money. Seeking after possessions. Seeking after property. All this is seen as being as equal to the antichrist.

This explains all the cruelty. All the hatred. All the destruction humans have done to other humans since before Christ. In fact, even before the flood. It is a cycle of abomination that will only end when God creates the new heaven and new earth.

However, we must strive to follow Jesus Christ if we accept Him as our Savior. Which means to reject all things that are an abomination in the sight of His Father.

God Bless

Discussion

Daniel 12:4 NKJV – “But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.”

Most still don’t understand the meaning of this verse. However, in my case it was one of the verses I not only read from the Bible but also dreamt in a dream when I was given the Spiritual gift of being a dreamer of dreams.

It was so obvious to me. The way people were and are now traveling around this planet. How knowledge has grown greatly over the last century. I mean think about it a bit.

Up until the American Civil War how were most wars fought? With calvary and massed soldiers marching in formation. How was ocean battles fought? With ships under sail playing dodge ball in the water throwing things at each other.

Between 1865 and 1914. A mere 49 years. Just about one and a half generations. Since it has been scientifically established that one generation is thirty-three years. Everything in warfare and even communication changed. As well as transportation.

Within the First World War, the political ground work was laid that would allow Israel to become a nation once again which occurred in 1948, shortly after the Second World War. One year after one generation. So thirty-four years later, from the beginning of the first World War. Thus in reality starting a new generation cycle.

At the end of that generational cycle the tenth nation joined the European Economic Community (EEC). Then the AIDS epidemic becomes officially recognized. Become the first of the end-time plagues. This occurred in 1981.

 Matthew 24:4-8 NKJV – And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.

In 2015 the end of the next generation ISIS attacks slaughtering and beheading Westerners and middle eastern Christians. In addition Europe starts to become overrun with middle eastern refugees due to ISIS. In essence making the dream of the Babylonian Statue become a physical reality.

Daniel 2:41-44 NKJV – Whereas you saw the feet and toes, partly of potter’s clay and partly of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; yet the strength of the iron shall be in it, just as you saw the iron mixed with ceramic clay. And as the toes of the feet were partly of iron and partly of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly fragile. As you saw iron mixed with ceramic clay, they will mingle with the seed of men; but they will not adhere to one another, just as iron does not mix with clay. And in the days of these kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.

“ As you saw iron mixed with ceramic clay, they will mingle with the seed of men; but they will not adhere to one another, just as iron does not mix with clay. “

Christ knew there would be confusion as well as many false prophets and teachers using His name to spread false teachings. Especially about what He had just stated. So He taught this parable directly after to help bring clarity to the situation.

Matthew 24:32-35 NKJV – “Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near—at the doors! Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.

Now. As I have just presented before these verses. The prophecy is the feet within Nebuchadnezzar’s dream of a statue.

Now, what is important about the parable of the fig tree is these words:

“Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place.”

Why are these words are so important is that we are now seeing all that Christ talked about in Matthew 24. As I have been showing through actual events that have taken place in history we can make an assumption as well. The last date I state at which time those that follow Jesus Christ and started to be hunted was 2015.

Consequently, I can theorized that Jesus Christ can return within thirty-three years from that point. That shows that Christ will return before 2048.

Now I can narrow this window down even further to be within the next few years. However, I won’t at this time. For it has not been given to me to say. For only one being knows the exact day and that is God, and no human can or should even attempt to do so or be labeled as what they are. False teachers and prophets.

The purpose of this teaching is to awaken those willing to listen to start and fix their relationship with God through Jesus Christ NOW. For we are living in the generation that WILL see the return of Jesus Christ.

There are no “ifs” “ands” or “buts” about this statement. This is not a possibility, but reality. We are living in the end-times. Right now.

Therefore, we know one major fact. That most that now profess to being “Christian” are in fact lukewarm and are not now or possible never were a part of the Body of Christ. For the seven letters of the second and third chapters of the book of Revelation are not just concurrent, but chronological. The last letter describing how most that calls themselves “Christian” would act like. So let us hear these verses at this time.

Revelation 3:15-19 NKJV – “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. 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— I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent.

So, what labels most that profess to being “Christian” to actually being the “lukewarm?”

“Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’”

Most that profess to being “Christian” live in or seek after fancy houses. They drive fancy vehicles and wear fancy clothes. Gathering unto themselves multiple possessions of various sizes and types. Keeping and horde all their earthly wealth for themselves. So, they have no needs, but only wants. This is what labels them as “lukewarm.” This is what shows that Christ Himself has vomited them out of the Body of Christ.

They are called to be zealous and repent. Let’s breakdown the word “zealous.”

Zealous – G2206 – zéloó – am eager to possess, covet (earnestly), (have) desire

Eager – wanting very much to do or have something, especially something interesting or enjoyable.

Covet – to want to have something very much, especially something that belongs to someone else

Desire – to want something, especially strongly

From the breakdown of the word “zealous” we learn a very clear message. That those that are lukewarm must now seek after something very special that is not theirs. This is a clear statement that they are no longer a part of the Vine of salvation Who is Jesus Christ. Because they seek after what the world esteems, they are not welcome into heaven or the presence of God.

However, they can fix this.

How can they fix this? Repent!

This means they must get rid of their worldly possessions and downsize NOW! Quickly. For right now they do not know “that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked.”

For what they consider wealth isn’t and what they think is clothing isn’t. They are wretched beings thinking they are special and blessed when they are cursed to damnation by their own words and actions.

As had been already established time is quickly running out. They MUST take action NOW! Right this very moment. Sell off your earthly mammon and seek after true salvation through Jesus Christ.

Mammon is defined as this: riches, money, possessions, property.

All this must go. You must start to live a needs-only lifestyle NOW! And use the rest of your earthly wealth to help those in need and in the spread of the Word of God.

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.

1 Timothy 6:17-19 NKJV – 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.

Any who seek after earthly wealth are destine to damnation. PERIOD.

God Bless

It is once again time to for some hard truth. Most will tune out. Others will deny it pertains to them. It doesn’t change the fact that it is the truth. They will still do nothing to fix their relationship with God. Because to them they are fine with God. They are going to heaven. They will stand before God in robes of white.

This is the furthest thing from the truth.

Most that believe they are all good and well with God live under the man-made teachings of faith alone and OSAS. They say that the laws are not needed. That all you need to do is believe in God and Jesus is their Savior. However, they live their lives without changing. They still seek after what the world seeks after.

They think they are better than those about them because they go to church on Sunday. Then leave the buildings to go play golf or watch the modern-day gladiator sports called Baseball, Basketball, Football, amongst others. They leave these buildings in expensive vehicles with all the bells and whistles built into them.

All of this is sin. All this labels them as lukewarm. But they don’t want to hear this. They just want to keep living their lives as they want. Not as God tells them to live it, but how they want to live it. With all their comforts and earthly pleasures.

All the while they are losing their salvation. Again, here will be denial and arguments from those that wish to believe they are exempt and special in the sight of God.

The mere fact that these thoughts crossed their minds shows they don’t know the Bible. That all their thoughts were opposite what Jesus Christ taught. Therefore, this announces to the world and more specifically to God Himself that if they were “Christian” they are not bearing fruit. If they think they are “Christian” they really aren’t.

Those that are angry right now. Those that are calling me a liar right now. It is time for your trial.

Let’s work backwards from what has been stated here.

  1. You believe you are exempt and special in the sight of God.

Romans 2:11 NLT – For God does not show favoritism.

This is the last sentence in a paragraph that is dedicated to speaking directly to those that call themselves “Christian” and live in these sins listed in Romans chapter one.

Romans 1:28-32 NKJV – And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.

Now look to yourself. Have you done these sins? Are you living these sins? Then you are guilty as charged. You are losing your salvation or were never saved. This is from the Bible. Not me. From God, and it is God you are calling a liar. Which seals that verdict against you.

  • Who are the “lukewarm?”

Revelation 3:15-17 NKJV – “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. 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—

“You say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy and have need of nothing.’”

Are you living in an expensive house? Do you horde your earthly wealth for yourself? Are you seeking after and gathering unto yourself possessions? You have so much you have need of nothing? Not want, need.

The Bible teaches this:

Matthew 6:19-21 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.

Those that seek after the what moths will eat and what rust will destroy and what can be stolen. This is where their heart is. It is not with God at all. Again guilty as charged. Again by the Word of God. They have been vomited out of the Body of Christ. Therefore, they are no longer in the Body of Christ.

How are they supposed to live their lives?

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.

You are to be content with a needs-only lifestyle. If you have wealth what are you to do?

1 Timothy 6:17-19 NKJV – 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.

We are to share our earthly wealth and this can ONLY be accomplished by living a needs-only lifestyle. For we are to have this cash available this wealth ready at a moments notice to help those in need. This is impossible for those that horde their wealth for themselves as well as their wants and lusts. This is how most now live their lives that profess to being “Christian.” Therefore, as we have just established they are guilty of sinning against God per the Word of God and most refuse to repent. They are confessing to the world and any with an ear to hear and an eye to see that they are not of the Body of Christ.

What can you do to fix your relationship with God? For that we will turn to the Bible once again.

Ephesians 5:1-21 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. Therefore He says: “Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, And Christ will give you light.” See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, submitting to one another in the fear of God.

Let’s beak down how we are to act as true followers of Christ.

“Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us.”

To show love is to abandon the self. True love places all others before ourselves or our wants, lusts or desires. That is what it means to be imitators of God through Christ.

“But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints.”

Those that seek after the large house, the fancy vehicles and the tons of possessions are covetous and idolators. Period. We are told not to be this way for it is not the ways of a Christian. Therefore once we accept Christ as our Savior we MUST down-size. We must reduce our financial footprint and seek to live off of the least of your earthly wealth. For the majority belongs to God.

Lets break down the words: fornication and uncleanness.

Fornication – G4202 – porneia – whoredom, harlotry (including adultery and incest) pornography.

Uncleanness – G167 – akatharsia – impurity (physically or morally) no cursing, no tattoos, no piercings.

Again. Right here people will be throwing a hissy fit. Here we go again to another part of the bible.

Romans 12:1-2 NKJV – I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

“And do not be conformed to this world.” 1 in 4 people on this earth has a tattoo. This means tattoos are of this world. Therefore if you seek after tattoos especially religious ones you insult God, and have earned what is spoken of in 2 Peter 2:

2 Peter 2:20-22 NKJV – For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning. For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them. But it has happened to them according to the true proverb: “A DOG RETURNS TO HIS OWN VOMIT,” and, “a sow, having washed, to her wallowing in the mire.”

Let’s continue how you should show you are a child of God.

“Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks.”

Let’s look at this from the amplified bible:

Let there be no filthiness (obscenity, indecency) nor foolish and sinful (silly and corrupt) talk, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting or becoming; but instead voice your thankfulness [to God].

If you challenge all that had been said to this point. I will re-read the next verse.

Ephesians 5:5 NKJV – 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.

“Nor covetous man, who is an idolater.” Let this be very clear. God doesn’t care how much you go to the buildings called “churches.” It is your behavior. It is you actions. It is your works that matter.

If you seek after earthly wealth, possessions. If you live in sin, have tattoos you are not going to heaven, by your own actions. Your own choices. Your own words that leave your lips.

That is unless you truly repent. And truly seek to follow the commandments given to us within the Bible. The Bible is not full us suggestions. It is full of rules that must be followed. You can’t have wealth, possessions and huge homes. For the money you used to get that was God’s not yours.

Repent. Downsize. NOW! Right now. Not tomorrow. NOW!

God Bless
