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

Needs-only.

How is this defined Biblically?

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.

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.

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.”

This is made clear by Jesus Christ Himself:

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.

How do you, the reader or listener think how you are living?

Well that I will define. Most chase after more wealth. Seek to have more possessions. Seek to become prominent. This is not needs-only, and since it goes against Christ command given in Matthew six, it is sin.

For those that just started having a hissy fit. Thank you for verification that you live in sin.

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.

What those that seek after money, possessions and status are seeking is to serve the world and not God. Who is in charge of the world at this time?

2 Corinthians 4:4 NLT – Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don’t understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God.

This is why we are to live a needs-only lifestyle if we profess to being a follower of Christ. The smaller our financial footprint the closer to God we are as made clear by Jesus Christ.

Therefore. No Lexus. No BMW. No Porche. No Corvettes. The cheaper the vehicle the better.

If you need a large house due to families. Fine, but once they leave the house. Sell the house for a smaller one. Never seek multiple homes. By the way. An RV is a house, and would qualify as a second house. This opens another door.

Recreation vehicles. Boats, jet skis, things used for your own personal pleasures. These should never be purchased. Sure, rent them, but never own them.

Why?

This money is not your money. It is God’s money. If you truly live a needs-only existence. You can live on ten to twenty percent of your earthly income. Then we are to give the clergy ten percent. The rest is to be given to the poor and to help in the spread of the Word of God. This is made clear in the Bible verses given here.

This is the True calling of the followers of Jesus Christ, for those that profess to being called “Christian.” However, most refuse to live this way. As was made clear with the young rich man. That man who abandoned his eternal life because he has many possessions.

Yes, he renounced his salvation. So, the moment someone says they rather keep their possessions and seek after more they too abandon their salvation. This mentality has sent millions over the last two thousand year not to heaven, but to death. Not to be risen in the Rapture, but have to stand before the Great White Throne Judgement. Jesus knew this and made it clear.

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.

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!’

By denying the order to downsize. Most become the lawless. For they say their wants are greater than their salvation. Therefore, just as those before them. They abandon their salvation.

Millions have gone to the grave expecting to be risen in the rapture. They will say but we did this or we did that in your name Jesus. And His reply will be simple.

“I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.”

The book of their works will be opened. And they will be judged by their works. Pray there is more spiritual gold than chaff burned away. For only then will they see that their name is still written in the Book of Life.

Revelation 20:11-15 NKJV – Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.

One of these works is to downsize. As we have already established. Once again there will be those having a hissy fit over the word “works.” The thing is we have just heard from the Word of God. I will say them again:

“And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books.”

“Judged according to their works.”

This is not the only time this is said within the Bible. This shows that we are to have works for God. This shows that those having their hissy fit follow the false teachings of OSAS and faith alone. They are upset because they have been called liars. Well, that is because they are. For they just called the above verses a lie. So. I ask the question. Is the Bible True? If you follow Christ the answer is simple. Yes it is. Then those that follow OSAS and faith alone teachings follow a liar. Who is the ultimate liar?

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.

It is now that you must embrace Truth. This can only be accomplished by repenting and downsizing then following all the commandments that were not removed by the cross. Just so you know only those laws governing sacrifice were removed. All others are still in effect. Like for example not to get tattoos. One in every four people upon this planet have tattoos. Many profess to being “Christian.” This means they live in sin. That is unless they repent and do not add anymore. Now many have repented and must live with their sin upon their skin. Unless they can remove them. Most cannot.

Very soon the first rapture will occur and most that now follow faith alone and OSAS will find themselves still standing here within this temporal plain of existence. Shocked that God abandoned them.

Right there is the problem. Them thinking God abandoned them. This is part of the great lie. The Truth? They abandoned God. Which is why God left them behind, because they were never one with Him.

They are lawless, because they refuse to follow the commandments. One of which is to downsize.

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

God Bless
