Discussion

Time.

Time is the one thing that is no longer an important element in seeking true fellowship with God through the only way into heaven: Jesus Christ the Son of God. Time was once a factor. A factor mostly squandered by most of humanity.

Most throughout the centuries have shown that time is not a friend to faith and belief in God, but an enemy to be feared. Time allows people to wander away and become entangled by what is seen, felt, heard and experienced within this temporal plain of existence. Most fall prey to time. The Bible makes it clear that what is offered by the world does not come from God in anyway shape or form.

1 John 2:15-16 AMP – Do not love or cherish the world or the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world–the lust of the flesh [craving for sensual gratification] and the lust of the eyes [greedy longings of the mind] and the pride of life [assurance in one’s own resources or in the stability of earthly things]–these do not come from the Father but are from the world [itself].

Most seek after the earth, which includes those that profess to being “Christian.” As I have established in podcast #201, this makes them not followers of God through Jesus Christ, but His enemies, those destine not to heavenly salvation, but eternal damnation.

One of the elements that allowed them to end up God’s enemies was and is time. An element that is worldly in its very essence of existence. Time works against all humanity from the moment we take our first breath. This is why we are instructed to teach our children in their youth of the Word of God.

Proverbs 22:6 NKJV – Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.

Why it is so important to train them in the Word of God from youth is because time has always been our enemy. It allows us to be enticed and distracted from who is to be the center of our life. Be it earthly or heavenly.

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.”

Most, because of time, turn to the items of the world for comfort, for pleasure, for status. Who has been given the power to hand out these things?

Luke 4:6 NKJV – And the devil said to Him, “All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish.

“For this has been delivered to me.”

Delivered – G3860 – paradidómi – to hand over, to give or deliver over, to betray, yield up, entrust.

“And I give it to whomever I wish.”

We must hear one more verse.

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.

“Satan, who is the god of this world.”

Therefore, any earthly rewards come from only one source, and it is not God. This is why this was said in three different gospels because it was that important that this be done.

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.”

The reason it must be gotten rid of is because it comes from Satan himself.  For our treasures are not found here in this temporal existence but in our eternity yet to come. The Christian reality is not found here in this world in any way, shape or form.

This was demonstrated by how time effected how the chosen children of God acted and behave. It was spelled out within the pages of the OT. The further from an event in the passage of time and more sin was seen and displayed by the tribes of Israel. They would be saved by God. They would be loyal to God. They would turn away from God. They would be punished by God. Over and over a repeated cycle throughout time.

Most that profess to being “Christian” have ignored or forgotten, or more accurately never learned this truth. Why? Because of time.

Most have never learned the Word of God. They may have read the Bible, but they have never truly studied the Word of God. Especially in this day and age when people speed about this way and that. Too busy or too distracted by the world. Just as designed, for time is how they measure their actions and most are a poor allocator of this measured of a day, of a week, of a month, of a year.

Those of the Christian faith drifted away from God within thirty years after Christ departed. This is shown within the Word of God itself. They have been drifting further and further away ever since. The moment people started seeking the worldly over eternity they showed they left the Word of God behind all due to time. How most live in this world is of and for the world. No matter what they may profess with their mouths. It is their actions which are the true measure of a person. For it is our actions, our works, which we will be judged upon when the time comes.

Romans 2:1-11 NKJV – Therefore you are inexcusable, O man, whoever you are who judge, for in whatever you judge another you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things. But we know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who practice such things. And do you think this, O man, you who judge those practicing such things, and doing the same, that you will escape the judgment of God? Or do you despise the riches of His goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance? But in accordance with your hardness and your impenitent heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, who “WILL RENDER TO EACH ONE ACCORDING TO HIS DEEDS”: (His works) eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality; but to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness—indignation and wrath, tribulation and anguish, on every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek; but glory, honor, and peace to everyone who works what is good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For there is no partiality with God.

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 the biggest pieces of evidence that someone worships the world and he who is its master are those that say all that is required is faith alone. For they are saying their actions, their deeds, their works are not required to gain them entrance into heaven. This as you have just heard in these last two quotes from the Word of God shows that those that insist and believe this are living a lie. For whom they worship is the father of all lies. This is witnessed by how anger they get when this truth is brought into the light. For it shows that they do not work from the Spirit but from the flesh.

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.

They are destined not to inherit the kingdom of God for the work from the flesh which is of the world and in this time. It is these works of sin they do not wish to surrender that leads them further and further away from God. Just as it led the tribes of Israel away from God. To the point that they denied the Son of God Himself. The thing is. They are denying Him as well by saying that it is not works but through faith.

Time is very quickly running out. Time to awaken to the Truth and repent must be pursued now, which is why the Glorified Jesus Christ had John write this letter:

Revelation 3:15-22 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. 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.”

Repent NOW. For your time is nearly up to fix your place with God.

God Bless

It is not time to celebrate


The presidential race was close. Too close. In many ways this nation has suffered and will continue to suffer. Why?
Because people for the most part are lost. Today, the day after the election I came into work. Many were happy, excited. Counting upon a man to do the work of God.
Humanity cannot cure what ails this nation. A few have awakened to the truth due to the events that led up to the election, but I fear not enough and that those that did awaken will fall back into their slumber of ignorance.
That those that did see the light and turn to the one that can help, but will they stay focused? That is the question I must ask myself. Only time will tell.

It is time


It is time to leave our houses.
It is time to leave our comfort zone.
It is time to leave our safety
It is time to teach that which we have been told time and again to teach.
It is time to preach that which we have been told time and again to preach.
Once again those that are the moral are called the amoral by those that have admitted they are liars. For they see that through lies they are made great when in reality they are shown to be the truly lower than the low.
We are told to teach the entire gospel, which is not all good news. We are to let those that deny God know that they will not end up in a good place. We are to offer them salvation and glory unto what is good and righteous in the eyes of the Lord.
Many will reject it.
Many will seek to defame us.
Many will seek to silence us.
There will even be those that seek to kill us.
We have been too silent too long and it is time to make our choice. God and possible death in this temporal life or to continue to live in this world as it falls into ruin and destruction.
Here is one thing that many do not realize and accept. This life, where we get dressed and go to a job, or care for a loved one. This life, where we go about shopping and reading or watching television. This is not the real life we are promised by God. This life is merely a test of your faith of your beliefs.
Many choose to deny there is a God, and believe that only humans are responsible for humans. As a result many of these think themselves better than others and so wish to subjugate them. This is not moral or right.
Others accept there is a God, yet they do not fully understand His ways, and to a degree that is how it should be. For if we knew all the right answers there would still be those that sought to be better than others. This is not what God and Jesus taught. They taught place God FIRST all others especially the innocent SECOND and ourselves and our desires last.
It is time to step out into the world and to let our voices be heard.
It is time to stand up for what is right and good.
It is time to not listen to those that say we are amoral when it is they are sickened and depraved.
It is time to use the ballot box, the peaceful protest and social media to make it know what is God’s word. What is God’s plan, and what is glorious and beautiful in His eyes.
And what is that? It is not sin. It is not hypocrisy, it is not the slaughter of innocents.
May it result in our death? Yes it may.
But look at it this way. If we die we get to be with Jesus and His Father. I would rather be there then here, but it is here we are needed, and how we are needed is to stand up for God and give Him obedience.
Mark 16: 15 – And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. 19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. 20 And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.
