sin

Obituary of a modern-day Pharisee

She has lived a long life and still does. Her husband was quickly and violently removed from her life so she could not infect him any further away from his salvation. She has three children. All of whom she drove away from God through her religious fervor. The eldest is wondering lost. The middle seeks after what is esteemed by the world. Both are a reflection of her true self. The third she pushed to commit murder through abortion just so her social standing within the “church” would not be tarnished.

Within the “church” she taught children Bible verses, which has led most into a lukewarm life and most likely damnation. Instead of teaching the full Word of God which made it clear we are to live a needs-only lifestyle and to place all others before our own wants, and desires. However, to her it is all about her placement within the “church.” Her achievements, her standing, her possessions. All opposite the Word of God.

Now as her mind leaves her. All she cares about is her past experiences. Her possessions and that people don’t steal them. Yet, in her mind she believes she is saved and not destined to awaken to the Great White Throne Judgement.

She fears letting go and passing on. For her soul knows what her mind has not yet comprehended. That she will not awaken till she stands in judgement. Even though she hears knocking in her dreams. The knocking of the Lord seeking to accept her and her surrender unto Him. Yet she refuses to let go. Clinging to this temporal existence as her mind and body falls apart.

The Bobbing Heads That Don’t Verify the Word of God (How religion enter into the Christian faith and when)

bible, Bible study, Christian, Christian Life, General, Guide, history, Life, Relationship, , , , , , , Leave a comment

Most that go to the buildings called “churches” are those that qualify as the bobbing heads.

Yet why do they qualify?

They qualify because they take the words of the person standing upon the dais or behind the pulpit as sacred and true.

They qualify because they do not verify through the Word of God.

 1 Thessalonians 5:21 NKJV – Test all things; hold fast what is good.

Acts 17:11 NKJV – These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so.

1 John 4:1 NKJV – Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

One of the greatest examples of the need to do this is found in the first chapter of the Acts of the Apostles. For within this chapter, we see two sides of one coin. The coin of belief in God. Yes, it is now Scripture, but within it we must still test it. However, the bobbing heads don’t, nor ever have for the most part.

Therefore, we will do now what most have never done. For they would rather bob their heads then to even bother to open the Word of God and see what is True or was found wanting.

We will begin after the greeting. We see the Truth of the Word of God and of Jesus Christ:

Acts 1:6-11 NKJV – Therefore, when they had come together, they asked Him, saying, “Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” And He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority. But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, who also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.”

We need to note these Words form our Savior:

“And He said to them, ‘It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority. But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.’”

“But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you.”

The “you” in this sentence was aimed to all. For none had yet received this power that is the Holy Spirit, because we know that this Spirit is named and so is Jesus Christ.

Why point this out? Because something that occurs in the coming verses, which should make people pause. To research, to study, to verify. So, let us now look to these verses:

 Acts 1:12-17 NKJV – Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey. And when they had entered, they went up into the upper room where they were staying: Peter, James, John, and Andrew; Philip and Thomas; Bartholomew and Matthew; James the son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot; and Judas the son of James. These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers. And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples (altogether the number of names was about a hundred and twenty), and said, “Men and brethren, this Scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus; for he was numbered with us and obtained a part in this ministry.”

In these verses Peter makes mention of the Holy Spirit which has not yet descended upon them:

“This Scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who because a guide to those who arrested Jesus.”

Psalms 41:9 NKJV – Even my own familiar friend in whom I trusted, Who ate my bread, Has lifted up his heel against me.

Yet does the Holy Spirit speak through the OT about appointing through humans a replacement for Judas?

Peter used these verses:

Psalms 109:1-13 NKJV – To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Do not keep silent, O God of my praise! For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful Have opened against me; They have spoken against me with a lying tongue. They have also surrounded me with words of hatred, And fought against me without a cause. In return for my love they are my accusers, But I give myself to prayer. Thus they have rewarded me evil for good, And hatred for my love. Set a wicked man over him, And let an accuser stand at his right hand. When he is judged, let him be found guilty, And let his prayer become sin. Let his days be few, And let another take his office. Let his children be fatherless, And his wife a widow. Let his children continually be vagabonds, and beg; Let them seek their bread also from their desolate places. Let the creditor seize all that he has, And let strangers plunder his labor. Let there be none to extend mercy to him, Nor let there be any to favor his fatherless children. Let his posterity be cut off, And in the generation following let their name be blotted out.

Yet we have no record of Judas having a wife or children. Therefore, we must question the relevance of connecting these verses to Judas.

Peter, the man who denied Christ three times. Shouldn’t these verses apply to himself in some form? Additionally, we see nothing within the teachings of Christ to make such an endeavor by those that profess to follow Christ. We are to seek all things through Christ and verify that they fall within the Word of God. Since there is doubt here. Why did Peter insist they pursue such an enterprise without first waiting for what he had made clear David heard ……. The Holy Spirit, which has not descended upon them as of yet. Simply why did He not just wait?

It is the Holy Spirit that is the guide, the leader, the focal point. Without the Holy Spirt how can it even be considered Holy?

Therefore, what is done here is not Blessed by God. This is given foundation by the fact that they seek to pray as a group in defiance of the commandment given by Jesus Christ:

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

Christ makes it clear where we are to pray and why.

“But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place.”

“For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men.”

Now just because you go into a “secret place” as a group of followers of Christ does not remove the key element of praying secretly.

“that they may be seen by men.” Are not your fellows humans? Then they qualify as men. Therefore, NONE should pray as a group or in a church. Prayer is a private time between you and God.

So, back on topic.

So Peter is forcing an issue with dubious Scripture since Judas had no wife or offspring that we are aware of. We must ask why not wait for the Holy Spirit first then seek to appoint a replacement?

This is an act of religion. Which is something that Peter was found guilty of pursuing in Galatians when Peter was forcing circumcision, as covered by the True replacement to Judas – Saul who will be called Paul when his apostleship begins. Therefore, We see the other side of the coin. Those that seek to place men’s action above the blessing given by the Holy Spirit.

Especially since the choice was achieved through the casting of lots in addition to the breaking of a commandment in how to pray from Christ Himself.

Acts 1:21-26 NKJV – “Therefore, of these men who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, beginning from the baptism of John to that day when He was taken up from us, one of these must become a witness with us of His resurrection.” And they proposed two: Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias. And they prayed and said, “You, O Lord, who know the hearts of all, show which of these two You have chosen to take part in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.” And they cast their lots, and the lot fell on Matthias. And he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

So list for us the great teachings and wonders accomplished from Matthias beyond dying a martyrs death.

There is none!

Because this is what comes from religion and not faith through Jesus Christ via the Holy Spirt whose name is Jesus Christ.

So, let’s talk about Matthias. Who’s that??????

bible, Bible study, Christian, Christian Life, General, Guide, Life, Relationship, , , , , , , , , Leave a comment

Most have no idea who Matthias is. There is a reason for this, and a lesson to the modern-day religious that go to the churches and don’t study the Word of God or even abide by it.

The story takes up only fifteen verses in the first chapter of the Acts of the Apostles. Within these verses the name “Matthias” only appears in two of them. This in itself should send alert signs to those that actually bother to read it. To those that study it becomes understood why this is.

Let’s look at these fifteen verses:

Acts 1:12-26 NKJV – Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey. And when they had entered, they went up into the upper room where they were staying: Peter, James, John, and Andrew; Philip and Thomas; Bartholomew and Matthew; James the son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot; and Judas the son of James. These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers. And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples (altogether the number of names was about a hundred and twenty), and said, “Men and brethren, this Scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus; for he was numbered with us and obtained a part in this ministry.” (Now this man purchased a field with the wages of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst open in the middle and all his entrails gushed out. And it became known to all those dwelling in Jerusalem; so that field is called in their own language, Akel Dama, that is, Field of Blood.) “For it is written in the Book of Psalms: ‘LET HIS DWELLING PLACE BE DESOLATE, AND LET NO ONE LIVE IN IT’; and, ‘LET ANOTHER TAKE HIS OFFICE.’ “Therefore, of these men who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, beginning from the baptism of John to that day when He was taken up from us, one of these must become a witness with us of His resurrection.” And they proposed two: Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.  And they prayed and said, “You, O Lord, who know the hearts of all, show which of these two You have chosen to take part in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.” And they cast their lots, and the lot fell on Matthias. And he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

Within this telling we see that the apostles took it upon themselves to pick the replacement for Judas. They state it was inspired by the Holy Spirit. Yet the Holy Ghost does not descend upon them until after this event.

Therefore, we can come to one conclusion. Peter has once again denied Christ. Peter is confronted about denying Christ in the book of Galatians as well by forcing gentiles to circumcise.

Also note that Joseph called Barsabas Justus and Matthias had witnessed the events of Christ ministry and seen that He had ascended into heaven. In simpler terms they were of once accord and fellow followers of Christ. From other sources we find that Matthias also died a martyr’s death.

Now I made mention about Peter denying Christ once again. He also encouraged those with him to break one of Christ commandments. Therefore, becoming the second time Peter denied Christ. What was this event?

“These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.”

What was Christ commandment about how we are to pray?

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

Praying in a group as these did was in defiance of this command. For Christ made it very clear:

“But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place.”

This means each person is to pray by themselves to God where no human can see them. When praying in a group all present see you and thus it is sin.

This sin they committed resulted in the picking, through gambling, a false apostle. Even though he was of one accord with them.

The true replacement for Judas was someone chosen by Christ Himself and in fact hated, hunted and killed those that were the followers of Jesus Christ.

It has been proven that when someone that truly does an 180 degree turn in their beliefs, that was so totally against a cause or a religion, becomes someone that is fully and completely committed to the cause they once opposed.

Saul who was a Pharisee and truly hated those that are now called “Christians” that he killed several hundred of them. The most notable was Stephen. He wrote most of the letters that now form the New Testament.

He was not chosen by a haggle of people gathered together in pray, in defiance of Christ, but by Christ Himself. Additionally, no lots were cast.

The lesson: 1) Obey Christ in all His commandments including where and when you pray to God. 2) God chooses, not humans. 3) Peter denied Jesus Christ three more times. Therefore, is not worthy of any type of praise. Only God through Jesus Christ should be praised and honored forever and ever.

The Covenant and Humanity. Who Really Has It?

bible, Bible study, Christian, Christian Life, General, Guide, Life, Relationship, Uncategorized, , , , , , , , , Leave a comment

One of the great issues that has come from those that follow religion above following the teachings of God through His Son Jesus Christ; is the belief that one group has more importance to God than any other group. It was this mentality that led in part to the holocaust that resulted in the death of over six million Jews.

This mentality of one group being superior to another group has always been prevalent. It was seen in the rise of Babylon, then Medo-Persa, then Greece and Rome. In which the pagans hunted down those that called themselves “Christians” to being those that Called themselves “Christian” to supplanting the pagans of Rome. It was seen in the crusades. It was seen in the spread of Islam. It was seen in the conquest of Napoleon. It was seen by those that hunted down other humans to make slaves of them no matter the color of their skin. This mentality is showing its head once again, but that is another story.

Why mention all these things that show the sinful nature of humanity at this time?

Because there are those arguing over the covenant of God with a certain groups of people. Are they the Jewish people or are they now the Christians? The real answer?

God made a covenant with Abraham and made it clear that through his descendants His Son would come to redeem ALL. Not just Christian, not just Jews. All that acknowledged Him as God and that His Son is Jesus Christ. Now I want to look at this parable that was stated to the Pharisees and by the way note the Pharisees reply:

Matthew 21:33-41 NKJV – “Hear another parable: There was a certain landowner who planted a vineyard and set a hedge around it, dug a winepress in it and built a tower. And he leased it to vinedressers and went into a far country. Now when vintage-time drew near, he sent his servants to the vinedressers, that they might receive its fruit. And the vinedressers took his servants, beat one, killed one, and stoned another. Again he sent other servants, more than the first, and they did likewise to them. Then last of all he sent his son to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’ But when the vinedressers saw the son, they said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and seize his inheritance.’ So they took him and cast him out of the vineyard and killed him. “Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those vinedressers?” They said to Him, “He will destroy those wicked men miserably, and lease his vineyard to other vinedressers who will render to him the fruits in their seasons.”

The key statement is found in their pronouncement of their own fate:

“He will destroy those wicked men miserably, and lease his vineyard to other vinedressers who will render to him the fruits in their seasons.”

“Lease his vineyard.”

Lease – will let out – G1554 – ekdidómi – let forth, rent.

  1. Rent – a payment made periodically by a tenant to a landlord in return for the use of land, a building, an apartment, an office, or other property.

This means the item in question doesn’t belong to anyone. It is being given for use from the True Owner who is God.

Therefore, It doesn’t belong to Christians or Jews. It belongs to God who puts those who are leasing through a screening process.

A screening process called salvation and then seeking sanctification by following the teachings of Jesus Christ. Christ made it very simple. “Go and sin no more.”

Yet nowadays most live in sin and think they aren’t living in sin. Mainly due to how things have been presented to them by various influences about them and they aren’t even aware of it because they have not studied the Bible for themselves.

What do we know for sure?

Those that are left to suffer in the tribulation to come are ALL the enemies of God. Because the word “tribulation” means the punishment of an enemy.

Praying in public is a sin. Per Matthew 6:5-6. Yet they show people praying publicly everywhere. In movies on TV, this in itself should be a sign to those that understand, yet do they acknowledge it? No. Therefore, they live in sin and refuse to change their ways.

People seek after wealth and a fancy house and fancy vehicles as well as fancy clothes. Per 1 Timothy 6 that is all sin as verified by Jesus Christ in Matthew 6:19-24 and Luke 16:13-15.

Yet people again ignore these sins and think they are fine with God, which they aren’t.

So, Study the Word of God for yourselves. I don’t mean to read. I mean STUDY. For when you study the Word of God you will see that true salvation is only accomplished through obedience to God by following the teachings and commandments found in the Word of God.

When a human names the day the rapture will occur.

Get this in your head people.

I Thessalonians 5:2 NKJV
[2] For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night.

I know for a fact that the return of Christ will occur at any moment.
However, we know this as well.

Matthew 24:36 NKJV
[36] “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only.

IF ANY HUMAN NAMES A DATE FOR THE RAPTURE. THAT PERSON IS A FALSE TEACHER.
IF ANYONE LISTENS TO THAT PERSON THEY ARE FALSE CHRISTIANS.

As for those that listened to September 23th as the day of the rapture.

REPENT!!!!

If you sold off all you had. Now you are ready to learn the Truth.

I Timothy 6:6-8 NKJV
[6] Now godliness with contentment is great gain. [7] For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. [8] And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content.

You had too much Mammon in the first place.

Precursors

bible, Bible study, Christian, Christian Life, General, Guide, history, Life, Relationship, Thoughts, , , , , , , , , Leave a comment

Throughout the centuries there have been what is call “precursors.”

Those that reflect behavior and actions that will be seen again at a later date. However, to a greater extent. A prime example: Antiochus Epiphanes who deviled the first Israeli Temple is seen as a precursor of the antichrist who will be revealed in the upcoming tribulation.

On September 10th a truly Christian man was assassinated. There are those that celebrated his murder. At that moment they became precursors of a future event towards the end of the tribulation.

Revelation 11:7-10 NKJV – When they finish their testimony, the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit will make war against them, overcome them, and kill them. And their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. Then those from the peoples, tribes, tongues, and nations will see their dead bodies three-and-a-half days, and not allow their dead bodies to be put into graves. And those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them, make merry, and send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth.

“And those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them, make merry, and send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth.”

What is important to understand is who are those who dwell on the earth at this time. They are the people who have taken the mark of the beast. Those that denied God.

We now see many celebrating a death and even defaming him. And was just a man. This speaks volumes and makes us look to these verses from Romans:

Romans 1:18-32 NKJV – For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things. Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due. 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.

Note some key behavior: covetousness, maliciousness, full of envy, deceit, haters of God, violent, unmerciful.

Those that now celebrate or have celebrated will most likely take the mark of the beast.

Call to Discipleship per the Word of God (part 3)

bible, Bible study, Christian, Christian Life, General, Guide, Life, Relationship, , , , , , , , , , , Leave a comment

In the first part of these special posts, it was shown through the Bible that we are:

  1. Called to make disciples not just save people. Just saving them will actually result in them ending up no longer saved, but damned.
  2. That to be a True Disciple of Jesus Christ and thus a True “Christian” we must follow the command given to the young rich man in three different gospels because this is mandatory if we truly wish to be a disciple of Jesus Christ:

Mark 10:21 NKJV – 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.”

In the second part of these special posts, it was shown through the Word of God that we are to teach the True Word of God and Gospel. This will result in those doing so being hated by not only those that deny God and in turn His Son Jesus Christ. However, we must also become hated by those within the religious communities. For they do as those that deny God do. They seek after mammon and as disciples we are called to remove as much mammon as possible from our lives to the point of living a needs-only lifestyle. This would result in those that are True Disciples to be hated to the point that they would become repugnant to all for teaching the True Gospel.

In today’s special post we continue this part of the same lesson. At the end of the last lesson, we saw a list of those that were killed for preaching the Truth. Starting with Jesus who then rose from the dead on the third day. Then the list of all the apostles except John, and many of the disciples called to follow Christ in the first hundred years after Jesus ascended into heaven.

They died not only because they were teaching to heathens, but they also died because they taught to those that called themselves followers of God, but what they really worshipped was themselves and their mammon.

People don’t want to hear that they are living in sin within the religious community. Especially those that believe with all their hearts they are going to heaven. When they are actually going to hell. This obviously upsets them. Because how they wish to live, and think is more important than God. This was played out as I posted these special posts. I received tons of likes and shares for the first post. But the second post received hardly any.

There were plenty of responses. Mainly from those either denying God and Jesus. However, there were those that wish to impose their ideas on how to be a disciple. In other words, they wish to add to the Word of God.

Deuteronomy 4:2 NKJV – You shall not add to the word which I command you, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.

In these posts you will see nothing added to the Word of God nor will you see anything taken away from the Truth.

To be a True disciple of God per Jesus Christ Himself we MUST live a needs-only lifestyle and spread the Word of God as well as help those in need.

Per Jesus Christ Himself it is either God or mammon. Mammon is an Aramaic word and was used and kept within the Word of God on purpose because it means many things all at once.

Mammon is riches which is jewelry and fancy clothes which we are not to seek after, because this is something the world seeks after, and anything form the world is from Satan.

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.

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.

Mammon is money. Therefore, any that horde their earthly wealth is like the rich man in the parable of Lazarus and the rich man in Luke 16. In Luke 16 this is also stated by Jesus Christ:

Luke 16:13-17 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. “The law and the prophets were until John. Since that time the kingdom of God has been preached, and everyone is pressing into it. And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one tittle of the law to fail.

Before we talk about the word “esteem,” we will continue to define the word mammon,

Mammon is possessions like all the junk throughout people’s houses that do nothing but gather dust in rooms that aren’t even used every day as well as multiple and expensive vehicles. Vehicles are cars, trucks, boats, RVs, jet skis etc.

Mammon is property like a huge house or multiples houses (RVs qualify as a house) and land filled with nothing. One small house is all we need to live in. The purchase of anything else is a waste of money that is to be used to spread the Word of God and to help those in need. Thus, those that call themselves “snowbirds” and have a house in a northern state and another in a southern state are more accurately described as “hellbirds” for that is where they are heading: to hell.

Jesus made it clear it is God or mammon. For the world esteems those that have an abondance of mammon. For it shows they are fully committed to worshipping the world and not God as well as worshipping themselves.

James 4:4 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.

Those that wish to truly be a disciple of Jesus Christ are to give up all that is earthly for what is holy. They are to place God first above all else and to place others before themselves (Matthew 22:37-40). This cannot be accomplished when keeping mammon that goes beyond our needs.

A need clothes us till tomorrow, not a huge closet filled with tons of clothes that gather dust from never being worn.  A need feeds us till tomorrow. A need shelters us to tomorrow. This is a small house, a cheap vehicle and cheap clothing to cover our nakedness. All else is mammon and what the world esteems.

All else is an abomination in the sight of God and thus equal to the antichrist and worthy of being call damnable and a curse. Therefore, all that pursue them are not going to an eternal life in the service of God. They are the lukewarm and have been vomited out of the Body of Christ for they are headed to the lake of fire for they have rejected to becoming a True Disciple of God through Jesus Christ. Thus, are not worthy of the title “Christian.”

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

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

Discussion

Deny yourself.

What most refuse to do but it is required by God through Jesus Christ:

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

“If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up the cross and follow Me.”

I know of many that do post after post and to glorify themselves in the so-called name of Christ. This is in no way denying themselves. This is worshipping themselves.

Count the cost.

Luke 14:26-33 NKJV – “If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple. And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple. For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has enough to finish it— lest, after he has laid the foundation, and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish.’ Or what king, going to make war against another king, does not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand? Or else, while the other is still a great way off, he sends a delegation and asks conditions of peace. So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple.

“For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has enough to finish it—“

“So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple.”

This is a direct command to live a needs-only lifestyle and to sell off all our possessions and to give to the poor.

Mark 10:21 NKJV – 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.”

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.

Any who challenge this and says God has rewarded them with earthly mammon shows they have listened to the lies of Satan and need to repent.

Crucify your flesh.

Galatians 5:22-26 NKJV – But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.

“And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.”

The passions and desires is to own and keep their mammon and to seek to satisfy the lusts of their flesh.

Leave the world behind.

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.

Never seek after what the world esteems anymore for that makes you an abomination in the sight of the Lord.

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.

Come to Christ on His terms.

Matthew 11:25-30 NKJV – At that time Jesus answered and said, “I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and have revealed them to babes. Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight. All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him. Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”

The labor is the spreading of the Word of God. For when you spread the True Word of God you will be persecuted and attacked. Especially by those that are false Christians. Just as Christ was.

Repent of your sins and believe and teach the True Gospel which will result in you being hated.

Mark 1:15 NKJV – and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.”

Be fully committed to God through Jesus Christ.

Luke 9:57-62 NKJV – Now it happened as they journeyed on the road, that someone said to Him, “Lord, I will follow You wherever You go.” And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.” Then He said to another, “Follow Me.” But he said, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father.” Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and preach the kingdom of God.” And another also said, “Lord, I will follow You, but let me first go and bid them farewell who are at my house.” But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.”

This is how most, especially those that go to the buildings called “churches” act and behave. Refusing to commit themselves fully to Jesus Christ.

Most don’t want to hear or accept these Truths. They want to live their lives as they desire. Living in sin and believing they are all set with God. This is the furthest thing from the Truth. Christ made it very clear.

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!’

This is why in three different gospels there is story of the young rich man.

Mark 10:17-25 NKJV – Now as He was going out on the road, one came running, knelt before Him, and asked Him, “Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?” So Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. You know the commandments: ‘DO NOT COMMIT ADULTERY,’ ‘DO NOT MURDER,’ ‘DO NOT STEAL,’ ‘DO NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS,’ ‘Do not defraud,’ ‘HONOR YOUR FATHER AND YOUR MOTHER.'” And he answered and said to Him, “Teacher, all these things I have kept from my youth.” Then Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, “One thing you lack: Go your way, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow Me.” But he was sad at this word, and went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions. Then Jesus looked around and said to His disciples, “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God!” And the disciples were astonished at His words. But Jesus answered again and said to them, “Children, how hard it is for those who trust in riches to enter the kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”

This young rich man lives a very religious life. He is a member of the synagogue and is loyal to God. This is why Jesus Christ looks upon the young man lovingly. This is how most that go to buildings called “churches” live and behave. They too refuse to downsize. Most do exactly what the young rich man did. They reject their salvation and turn away from Christ. All because their mammon is their first love. Mammon which is defined as riches (jewelry and fancy clothes), money, possessions (objects that gather dust and vehicles) and property (huge houses and multiple houses as well as large areas of land filled with nothing). Just what Christ says we must abandon, however, most refuse to do so.

So many think they are special and exempt. It is truly and completely sad. They are so proud and pompous.

Proverbs 16:18 NKJV  Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall.

Too many believe they are special and exempt. Thinking they shall not be subject to being left behind.

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

Most that believe they are special and exempt believe they have a special standing before God. However they have never truly abandoned the world. They are the lukewarm it is so sad to hear this and see this, but this is the truth. A truth that will only be made clear upon that day that Christ comes as a thief in the night. A truly sad day for most.

God Bless

Discussion

Do you really want to stand before God? Really?

You sure don’t act like it. Especially those that go to churches in the fanciest clothes they can find. Spending hundreds of dollars on how they look and dress instead of helping someone in need and staving and lacking shelter from the weather.

It is truly sad going upon social media where people post picture after picture of themselves as well as have a thumbnail of themselves in all their finery.

Those that do this have made the Truth of these verses:

2 Timothy 3:1-5 NKJV – But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!

“Will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud.”

“Lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power.”

Then those that are faithful are told to do this when they encounter people that act this way:

“And from such people turn away.”

Here is the issue. If you truly do follow Christ and wish to serve God. Then call these people out and depart from them. The thing is most that act and live the ways listed that are sins fill entire buildings called “churches” and none leave them or call these people that are hypocrites out for they are living in sin.

This brings us to the letter written to the Romans. Here is a list of sins listed in the first chapter:

Romans 1:26-32 NKJV – For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due. 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.

I list these verses for two reasons. The first of these reasons is the last part of the last sentence in these verses:

“Not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.”

This verse pertains to those that allow hypocrisy to run unchecked within these buildings called “churches.” This is why these verses follow those we just heard or read:

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.

Too many think and believe they are special exempt. They don’t want to hear that “God does not show favoritism.”

Too many live their lives in fancy clothes and fancy vehicles. They think they will be welcomed into heaven. However, the Glorified Jesus Christ said this:

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—

“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.”

This is what those that dress up and think they are special say. But before this Christ said this because they have this mentality:

“I will vomit you out of My mouth.”

They have been removed from the Body of Christ and had their names removed from the book of life.

Exodus 32:33 NKJV – And the LORD said to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against Me, I will blot him out of My book.

Yet, most embrace and encourage this type of behavior. Saying they are children of God. Rejecting the Truth of the Word of God for their social status and esteem within this human world.

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.

Luxuries, wealth and the pursuit of it are highly esteemed amongst many that profess to being followers of Christ, yet it is made extremely clear. That those that pursue mammon which is riches (jewelry and fancy clothes), money, possessions (objects that gather dust and vehicles) and property (huge houses and multiple houses as well as land filled with nothing) love those things and despise God and His Son Jesus Christ.

The more they pursue mammon the more they show who they worship. The more they praise God the more the lies leave their lips. Making them teach and bring others to damnation instead of salvation bringing the Truth to these Words.

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!’

None want to hear the Truth. They want to live the way they want to live. They must have it their way or no way. This is the truth. Because they want it their way, they show who it is they worship, and it isn’t God. It is themselves and thus Satan who rewards all that follow him.

Yet they are blessed and special and destined to live forever.

All are destined to live forever. Just where in that forever are they going to spend eternity. Their actions and behavior say in the lake of fire.

Just because you go to a building called a “church” doesn’t mean you are going to heaven. The more I see and witness. The more I know that most that enter these buildings have a reason to fear death. For most that walk this earth fear their earthly death. And they should. For their soul knows the real Truth. And for this the soul fears the temporal death. For with the temporal death comes an end to fix our relationship with God through Jesus Christ.

Their soul fears because it is too late for them to find true salvation and they must pray they have enough heavenly gold to offset their earthly chaff. These are measured before the Great White Throne Judgement. Where most that have lived upon this earth will stand. Most of which thought without a doubt they were destined to heaven.

Any who fear their earthly death are not one with God.

2 Corinthians 5:1-10 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. Therefore we make it our aim, whether present or absent, to be well pleasing to Him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.

Search your soul. Do you fear to die? Do you love your riches, money, possessions and property? Then you are not of God. Period.

You can repent. You can redeem yourselves. This can only be done by following the teachings found with the Bible and accepting Jesus Christ as your Savior.

Give in secret. Pray in secret. Fast in secret. Downsize. Sell off all you possess save that which will cloth, feed and give you some shelter. Then use the rest to spread the Word of God and help those in need.

God Bless

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

Discussion

Even now it hurts my soul when I see people that question and even bluster when given the Truth of the Word of God.

The reason for this.

It is whom they worship, and it isn’t God.

They question because they haven’t read the Bible for themselves and take the word of others who tell them they can live as they want and desire too.

They bluster because they have listened to these lies and have heard them for so long and seen their parents and grandparents live the same way. Therefore, they are special and chosen of God.

Chosen by Satan is more accurate. Chosen to join him in the lake of fire.

Time is running out to dance around the lies. People need to see that they live in lies. That the reason so many fear their earthly death is because their soul knows the Truth. That they have run out of time and now must suffer for billions upon billions upon billions of years.

People morn and weep at their funerals. Saying “They go to a better place.” When their soul knows the Truth. They are going to hell to be held for the day of judgement before they are cast into the lake of fire.

Christ made it VERY 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!’

They practice living in lawlessness because they only live by selecting those parts of the Bible that makes them happy and pleased to call themselves “Christian.”  While those on the dais tell them these same select verses from the Bible that turns these people in to twice cursed monsters leading millions to damnation.

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.

2 Peter 2:1-3 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.

The Bible makes it clear we are to give in secret. Pray in secret. Fast in Secret. And to live a needs-only lifestyle. Matthew chapter 6.

Christ knew it would be this way. This is why the Glorified Jesus Christ in the last letter in the book of Revelation dictated this letter to John:

Revelation 3:14-22 NKJV – “And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write, ‘These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God: “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. 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. Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”

This is how most are that call themselves “Christian” at this very moment.

They hide in their earthly riches which never came from God. They preen with pride in the their fancy clothes as they drive their fancy vehicles. All the while fearing their earthly deaths. Struggling to hold onto this temporal existence. For once it is gone their chance at redemption goes with it.

However, they never truly even try to become saved. Instead they seek after more and more of the earthly. Making themselves enemies of God while they sit in the pews of a building called a “church” thinking they are one with God. Not knowing that they have been vomited out of the Body of Christ some time ago.

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

James 4:4 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.

Revelation 3:16-17 NKJV – 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—

It is time to awaken to the Truth. Just as John the Baptist preached harshly in the wilderness. Now those that are true to God must preach in the same manner so that those that live viperous lives will change their ways. Yet, most won’t till after the first and smallest rapture occurs.

The call to truly repent is now being spread by those willingly to preach the Truth of the Word of God. Once again. Give in secret. Pray in secret. Fast in secret. Live a needs-only lifestyle by selling off all that is not required or extravagant. Study the Word of God. Spread the Word of God. Be a true disciple of our Savior Jesus Christ.

God Bless
