Call to Discipleship per the Word of God (part 2)


Earlier this week I began these special posts about seeking after to becoming a disciple of Jesus Christ per the Word of God. In the first post I showed per the Bible itself that the core of discipleship is self-sacrifice and the requirement to downsize.

Luke 14:33 NKJV – So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple.

Now. I wish to key in on the second major element of becoming a True disciple to Jesus Christ.

Luke 14:27 NKJV – And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple.

Most do not fully understand the importance and the true meaning behind this verse. Yet it is extremely key to being a True disciple to Christ. Again, Jesus Christ Himself tried to explain this to help those that truly sought to be a True and complete “Christian” to come to understand. For you don’t listen. You can not be a disciple and so in turn you are not truly “Christian.”

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.”

When accepting to become a True disciple of Jesus Christ. A True “Christian.” We are not to look back at our past or how we lived our earthly lives. Most never do this and so in Truth are not “Christian.” For we are not a “Christian” until we become a disciple.

The True cost of taking up the cross is rejection from the world and the religious community. For the latter was  and still is filled with those that seek after what is esteemed by the world and understanding that the laws are still in effect.

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.

For when you teach the True Gospel you are not making people happy in how they now live, but you make them uncomfortable, and they will hate you just as they hated Jesus Christ and hung Him upon a cross.

You must accept and become something that will cause you to be laughed at. Called names and ridiculed just as the apostles, and the prophets were.

 Matthew 5:10-20 NKJV  Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven. “Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you. “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men. “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.

Salt is bitter. So, then the Truth is bitter.

If what you are listening to is sweet. It is people pleasing and is twice cursed for those that speak it.

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.

The True cost of carrying the cross:

Jesus Christ: wiped brutally, and crown of thrones forced onto His head and then hung upon the very cross he was forced to carry.

Peter: crucified upside down.

Matthew: while preaching the True Gospel in Ethiopia was killed with by the sword.

James the lesser: thrown from atop the temple, which didn’t kill him and then was beaten to death with a club.

James the great: placed on trial by the religious community of Jerusalem and beheaded.

Bartholomew also known as Nathaniel was taken in what is present day Turkey had his entire body whipped till he had no skin left.

Andrew: crucified in Greece.

Thomas: was stabbed with a spear in India.

Jude also known as Thaddeous: was killed by arrows when he refused to deny his faith.

Phillip: was also peaching in the lands known as present day Turkey and was beheaded.

Simon the zealot: was sawn in half in Persia.

Matthias the false apostle: was stoned and beheaded.

Paul: beheaded

Mark: tied to a team of horses and dragged through the streets of Alexandria, Egypt.

Luke: hanged in his homeland of Greece.

Stephen: stoned to death

John: boiled in oil yet lived. Then banished to Patmos and the only Apostle not to suffer martyrdom.

This is the cost of carrying the True cross and teaching the True Gospel.

Call to Discipleship per the Word of God


Forty days after Jesus Christ rose from the dead, He left this temporal existence to return to where His Father our Creator can be found. As He left, He gave us what has been called the “Great Commission.”

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

“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations.”

I am making these special posts to do just that. Teach people that are willing to hear the Truth to become True Disciples of God through Jesus Christ.

Most that now profess to being “Christian” truly are not. Many may never have been, and those that were truly saved have turned away from God because they do not wish to become a disciple.

Jesus made it clear what is required to become a true disciple.

Luke 14:25-35 NKJV – Now great multitudes went with Him. And He turned and said to them, “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. “Salt is good; but if the salt has lost its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is neither fit for the land nor for the dunghill, but men throw it out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”

Most that now profess to being “Christian” have not counted the cost. They have built a foundation and then run out of spiritual money to build the tower of discipleship. They have become salt without flavor. Good only to be thrown out into the trash to be burned. Burned in the lake of fire for billions upon billions upon billions of years.

Jesus made the cost very clear:

Luke 14:33 NKJV – So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple.

This is reenforced here:

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.

“And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content.”

This is the core of discipleship. It is from here that is the beginning of truly being called “Christian.” For it is made clear that nothing of this world is from God and so is evil.

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.

Jesus Christ Himself taught this lesson on the Sermon on the Mount:

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 most refuse to downsize their eyes are filled with darkness. To bring light into their eyes they must remove from them earthly mammon.

Mammon is defined as riches (jewelry and fancy clothes), money, possessions (objects that gather dust and vehicles) and property (owning huge houses and/or multiple houses as well as land filled with nothing useful to those in need).

This must start immediately if you truly profess to being a follower of Jesus Christ. For as mentioned before it is the core of showing you are a follower of God through Christ and must start right this moment. This is not me saying this. This as shown came from the Word of God itself and is required now. For time is quickly running out.

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

Why are so many embracing eternal death?

The answer: Because they see God, but don’t realize that they are. For they have been told by those they respect to ignore what is True. In the first chapter of Romans this topic is touched upon.

Romans 1:18-25 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.

Those that teach there is no God that all there is, is nature. That humans are nothing more than another animal on this planet. Do two things. They dimmish humanity on whole, which opens the door to horrible acts commit by those that believe they are superior. That the strong must destroy the weak. For the stronger seed must prevail to preserve the species. It is this type of mentality that caused Nimrod, Nebuchadnezzar, Xerxes, Alexsander, Ceasar and his offspring. As well as Napoleon to seek to conquer the known world. It is this type of mentality that caused the creation of the Aryan Race mentality of the National Socialist Works Party of Germany. This in turn led to the Holocaust and not only the death of six million Jews. But another seven million Russians, Gypsies, True Christians as well as political enemies of the Third Reich. All for the believe that there is no God and that humans must rule over and control “lesser” humans.

This same mentality has reared its ugly head again. What is funny is they use terms like “nazi” and “Racist” against those they see as lesser than them. Not realizing that it is they that are those they accuse others of being. Not realizing that in the time of those two terms they would actually being living in true fear and unwilling to shout out these names because to do so would be to immediately arrested and then imprisoned and most likely death. It is the same they wish upon those they see as lesser than them. Those that wouldn’t even do these things. Their denial of God has led them to the extreme beyond that which Paul encountered in Rome. Yet, it started at the same level:

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.

“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.”

The entire reason the alphabet club exists is because of the denial of the True God. This is magnified by those that insist that there is not two sexes. This constitutes true and complete denial of God and God Himself has allowed them to enter into these base desires that come from humans behaving as if they themselves are superior not only to other humans but of all of God’s creation. This makes total and complete sense and even proves further by their very denial that God is real and they are literally at war against God Himself. Daring Him to throw them into hell and punish them. The creating of multiple sexes brings the reality to these verses:

“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.”

By creating multiple sexes they are in fact calling themselves gods. By forcing it upon all others to accept them and to call them what they want to be called is their desire to be worshipped. This explains why it upsets them so much when people do not conform to their mandates. For those that do not conform are saying: “You are not a god, and we will not bow and worship you.”

I remember two Ceasars who acted like this. Caligula who made himself and a horse god and demanded to be worshipped. Nero who kicked his second wife to death then married a man who looked like her. As well as used burning Christians on stakes to light his garden at night.

This shows where the minds of people go when they believe that humans are the ultimate beings. How those that have been given power go further into a sense of irrational superiority. This also shows that when anyone thinks themselves superior to other humans they behave and act in ways that shows they have become debased.

Debased – reprobate – G96 –  adokimos – rejected, worthless, unapproved, counterfeit.

Per the meaning of these words a false and fake human that is rejected, which explains why they even reject their own sex. They can’t deal with how they perceive reality for the one being that can help them they refuse to even attempt to learn about or even look for. That being the True God that they can find through the Son of God: Jesus Christ.

The Bible says this about what to look for to see that He is soon to return:

Matthew 24:3-4 NKJV – Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?” And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you.”

“Take heed that no one deceives you.”

That is what is occurring with this more than two sexes junk. That is evidence that Jesus Christ is soon to return.

Time is running out. The reason there is so much coming against those that are confused about their gender is because God is trying to get their attention. Very soon events will transpire that will bring the Truth to all. The time for faith without seeing will have ended. It will be in plain sight once again.

A short window of a few years is given to ALL humanity that is now living to make a simple but powerful choice. Either God or mammon. Either rejecting the mark of the beast or accepting the mark of the beast which will allow them to buy and sell mammon.

Billions will make the right choice. Many of whom I believe have at this time become confused by the false teachers that say they aren’t male when they are male and that they aren’t female when they are female.

Genesis 1:27 NKJV – So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.

It is clear. For those that don’t wish to understand. The Bible is in actuality a historical document. I don’t care what you’ve been told by the false teachers. Mostly found in universities. Many in buildings called “churches.” Any who teach that there is more than two sexes teach death. Yes, that is a blunt statement. But like I stated it is black and white. Death and life.

There is only two destination in the eternity to come. Here on earth but with new and immortal bodies. Or in the lake of fire. Also on earth but none can leave where they will be placed. Both with immortal bodies. One filled with life and eternal joy in the service of God. The other filled with sorrow and eternal agony.

Here is what I know from the Word of God.

Heaven is temporary, not eternal. Any who teach of an eternity in heaven are false teachers.

There truly is eternal life. We are ALL given eternal bodies.

This earth. In fact this universe ends. They are replaced by a new universe and new earth.

Revelation 21:1 NKJV – Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea.

For a long time most have not heard the True Gospel. These false teachings have caused people to teach things like we will be in heaven forever. This is a lie therefore a false teaching. People say: “When we stand before the judgement throne.”

Yet the Bible teaches this:

Revelation 20:4-6 NKJV – And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.

“Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.”

Now, understand this. There are those that falsely teach that we must face God’s wrath. Yet Christ Himself said this:

Luke 21:34-36 NKJV – “But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly. For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.”

“Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.”

This is Jesus Christ Himself saying that we will be removed from the wrath. This is verification that we will be removed.

Now here is something else people don’t want to teach, accept or hear. The partial rapture theory.

That there will be multiple raptures. There will be a pre-tribulation rapture that matches the promise you just heard from Jesus. Then we have this teaching from Jesus:

Matthew 24:36-42 NKJV – “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only. But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left. Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming.

This rapture occurs at the midpoint of the tribulation. For when this one occurs the antichrist is revealed.

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

Also note this:

2 Thessalonians 2:7-8 NKJV – For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.

When the Holy Spirit who is the restrainer is removed from the earth. Anyone who has the Holy Spirit within them must be removed from the earth as well. This constitutes a rapture.

This rapture is witnessed here:

Revelation 7:9 NKJV – After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands,

Then one last rapture occurs:

Daniel 12:1-3 NKJV – “At that time Michael shall stand up, The great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people; And there shall be a time of trouble, Such as never was since there was a nation, Even to that time. And at that time your people shall be delivered, Every one who is found written in the book. And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, Some to everlasting life, Some to shame and everlasting contempt. Those who are wise shall shine Like the brightness of the firmament, And those who turn many to righteousness Like the stars forever and ever.

This last rapture is the pre-wrath rapture, which is exclusively for the tribes of Israel and includes these specially sealed people:

Revelation 7:3-8 NKJV – saying, “Do not harm the earth, the sea, or the trees till we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.” And I heard the number of those who were sealed. One hundred and forty-four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel were sealed: of the tribe of Judah twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Gad twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Asher twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Levi twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Benjamin twelve thousand were sealed.

Note this verse:

“Do not harm the earth, the sea, or the trees till we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.”

From the sixth seal on the earth is harmed. From the sixth seal on He who restrains has been removed. Any who have the Holy Spirit within them is removed as well. As witnessed in Revelation chapter seven verse nine.

All that happens from this point on no one will be able to be saved and born again. Only the 144,000 due the special seal will have the Holy Spirit within them. No others will be able to receive His Holy Presence within them.

You must accept that if you are male you are male and if you are female you are female. You must accept Jesus Christ as your Savior or face eternal death in the lake of Fire and it is best to change now before it is too late. For time is nearly up.

God Bless.

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

They must question the way they think and live. So, they can seek to follow Christ and not the world.

Discussion

During my early years of salvation God blessed me with many dreams.

Acts 2:17 NKJV – ‘AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS IN THE LAST DAYS, SAYS GOD, THAT I WILL POUR OUT OF MY SPIRIT ON ALL FLESH; YOUR SONS AND YOUR DAUGHTERS SHALL PROPHESY, YOUR YOUNG MEN SHALL SEE VISIONS, YOUR OLD MEN SHALL DREAM DREAMS.

This told me that the times we now live within will be when Jesus Christ returns to this temporal realm. In one of these dreams, I dreamt of descending into hell. I will now share that dream.

When this dream began there was a flash of lightning and the sound of thunder. I looked about and found myself within ruins. Within these I see people running to and fro in tattered clothes.

Before me suddenly is a dark form upon a horse just as dark charging towards me. In his hand was a lance, which he lowered as he hurried toward me. Aiming it straight at my chest. Seeing this I leaped to the side just in time to avoid being run through.

I quickly stood once the rider as passed by upon his steed. I see before me down a shattered street a light and I feel the presence of God within this light. Hastily I begin to move towards this as the joy of being with God begins to fill my soul. As I run towards this light, I think I see the image of Christ within it.

Then without warning I fell down a slope I had not noticed before me. I attempt to rise up in the field of weeds about me brushing against my skin. I looked in the direction of where the light had been. However, now the light is gone all there is the darkening grey sky above.

I look about me and see others within the weeds. Most I don’t know. Nevertheless, there are others I do recognize. They are actors and politicians. Also, I see many that call themselves “Christian” that all the world would know and identify as such, for they had Television shows and even made movies.

I looked at the hillside and was shocked to notice that the weeds weren’t that at all. In reality they looked like some type of tentacles. They waved back and forth. First in an upward motion and then in a downward motion, like seaweed in a tidal pool swaying back and forth as the waves passed overhead. As each movement passes, I find myself a little farther down the hill. I look at the bottom of the slope and am startled at the sight of a sheer drop awaiting me at its base.

I tried to stand but found I was unable to. So, I tried to crawl up the rise, but for every inch I moved up the tentacles drive me two inches in the opposite direction. Finally, I stop trying to fight against the tentacles and so look about me. I see two men clinging to each other like lovers facing death together. I then see a scantily dressed woman her face caked in makeup in an attempt to hide the black and blue discoloration beneath her eye. I watch a man in a fine suit as he bows his head in prayer until he falls into the abyss before us all.

As the man I had just seen fell over the edge I look at the impending darkness before me and a sadness starts to fill me as I look over the edge. I was filled with a sudden feeling of hopelessness. As I get close to the edge I just lean towards the void before me and allow myself to fall over the edge.

The darkness is not complete as I feel myself falling towards this unknown destination. I see the silhouettes of others falling with me ever downward. At one point in my decent I see the forms of several people in a circle holding hands as they fall ever deeper into the bottomless pit of blackness. I joined the group and noticed that they are singing a hymn. After a short time, I release their hands as they all continue downward towards the ultimate goal as they continue to sing their joyous song.

After a time, I feel as if I have been falling for hours when I suddenly see a reddish light start to appear below me. I look carefully and the distance between me and the light grows ever smaller. The light flickers like a flame as I look at the terrain below me. At first, I think my eyes are playing tricks by the fluctuating luminance, but it is not. The ground is moving like a vast ocean beneath me always active. As the distance closes, I soon become aware for the reason for the motion below. I begin to see the form of millions upon millions of individual people all moving about as if in a daze.

Finally, I reach the end of the fall. I feel myself slow as I approach the ground below and look about at the endless mass of walking bodies around me. As my feet touch the ground, I know I am in hell.

Then I heard my name. At first it is soft then I hear it again louder and much more clearly. So, I turn toward the voice. There I see the rays of a bright light fracturing through the red glow. I look at the forms around me and look into their faces. I see the eyes looking aimlessly around as if searching. Searching for some sign that they are here by mistake, but never finding any.

I hear the voice again calling my name and I return my attention to the light. It is large now and more brilliant. So, I head toward the light as it grew even more brilliant.

That is where it ended.

As I have studied the Bible more thoroughly since my early years of my salvation. I have come to understand the message found within this dream.

The ruins and tattered clothing is a reference to those living a lukewarm life.

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—

Most that now walk this earth think they are rich. However, they live in ruins and their clothes are tattered and falling off of them to leave them naked.

The dark horseman is death. Not earthly death, but eternal death.

The pit is where all that sin will eventually find themselves. This is made clear by those that are found upon the edge of the hill as they are drawn further into the entrance of pit.

The Bible makes clear that darkness is living in sin. Therefore, the decent into hell being in total darkness makes complete sense.

The group together holding hands and singing joyful hymns is how most that go to the buildings called “churches” live their lives. Saying they are one with God. However, they are going to hell instead. This is how most live their lives. Jesus Christ 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!’

They live and think all they need to do is go to church once a week and they have it made with God. All the time ignoring the laws found within the Bible, which have never ended.

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

Most by how they live act like Jesus came to destroy the law and the prophets. They live lives totally opposite that taught by Christ. However, to them they are one with Christ as they listen to their people pleasing messages.

Messages that for those giving them are twice cursed 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.

Recently a Texas pastor was out fishing and had his boat capsized by a tornado. He saw it as a message from God that He will lead us through storms. I saw it as God telling this self-righteous hypocrite to get rid of the boat and use the money the pastor spent upon it to help those in need. But, what do I know:

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.

Oh, wait. Now I know why I know this. I was following what I learned from studying the Word of God. Pastors should not have fishing boats. Assistant pastor should have million dollar homes. That is another story by the way. No one that stands upon a dais should be rich or have an extravagant salary. Any who do are not leading people to heaven, by to hell. Why? Because they are living a hypocritical life. They receive from the world.

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].

“Assurance in one’s own resources or in the stability of earthly things.” This is known as seeking and loving mammon, which is defined as riches, money, possessions and property.

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.

Most seek after and esteem mammon. This turns them into an abomination in the sight of God. Equal to the antichrist and they deserve to be destine to hell and then the Great White Throne Judgement.

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.

God Bless

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

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

I see it clearly. However, most don’t, nor in many cases do they seek to.

It is this last statement that is truly sad. Due to the failure of the institutions called universities, colleges and believe it or not churches. Most are unaware of what is found within the teachings of the Word of God.

They say there is nothing beyond this earthly existence. This empowers them to do the most horrifying things to their fellow human beings. Beings they have been taught within the institutions mentioned before that are lesser than themselves.

What the Word of God truly teaches is to treat all others as our equals and to even treat them better than we would treat ourselves. To be humble.

Romans 12:16 NKJV – Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion.

Most due to these institutions think themselves wise in their own opinions. It is this mentality that causes wars. It is this mentality that causes murder. It is this mentality that causes racism. It is this mentality that causes people to believe they are superior to those they think are ignorant and simple. I run into this mentality all over social media by those that have not even truly STUDIED the Word of God.

As we look at the way most are acting and behaving currently, we see that most have no knowledge of what is found within the Bible at all. I could describe instances but that would infuriate and that is not my goal at this time. My goal is to help people to seek the light. For the darkness is growing ever darker. For the midnight hour is nearly upon us. For some that may read this at some future date the last stroke of midnight may have already struck.

People, especially in North America, need to awaken now. For their time is more rapidly coming to an end than for most others. Before the midpoint of the tribulation there will be an event that causes the sun, the moon and the stars to diminish in their light. There is only one thing that can cause this to occur. The eruption of a super volcano. It will cause the spewing out of an ash cloud large enough to affect the entire globe and will in essence cause the sky to roll up like a scroll. It will send rocks large enough to be considered a mountain to fly through the air and crash into the ocean.

This is something that should cause people to think as this realization comes into clarity. The Truth of the Bible. For none could have speculated of the existence of a super volcano or even conceive of such an environmental thing could exist at the time these words were placed upon parchment for the first time in the 90s AD. However, the Bible describes it with true and complete clarity and an exact description of its power. Even to the point of mentioning multiple eruptions that continue into the second half of the tribulation period.

Yellowstone, the super volcano, is getting ready to erupt. This will destroy the United States of America as well as parts of Canada and Mexico. The United States has a name within the Bible. It is called the city of Babylon. For once it was great in the sight of God but now it is filled with and run by demons.

Revelation 18:2 NKJV – And he cried mightily with a loud voice, saying, “Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird!

Most scholars don’t understand that this verse is speaking of an event that has already occurred. It is just describing why the United States will be destroyed. They didn’t tie together the darkening of the sun and the moon and the stars due to a global ash cloud caused by an eruption of a super volcano. Many who show their true colors of being false teachers mention nuclear warfare or the use of such weapons. That would give men power they have no right to have.

God is the judge, and God will dole out how and when judgement will be fulfilled and how. It will never include the use of tools made by humans. It will be given with His creation to show that He is God and that His Son is our Savior. This is the Truth of all. This is something that false teachers do not see or comprehend. They see from the level of humans, not from God via the Holy Spirit.

1 Corinthians 2:13 NKJV – These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

Most plagues are caused by the sins of humans. The arrogance of humans. They are created by humans. The sun, the moon and the stars dimming are the actions of God and require something of natural creation to cause them to be. The destruction of the city of Babylon, the United States will be done by God for God’s glory and His Son glory and for no other being. That is why the antichrist will run to the third temple and defiled it. So, he can take the credit for God’s judgement upon the now corrupt nation that was once made to follow His True teachings. Which was seen as a great servant to God but is no longer.

This is why these words are said in chapter 18 of the book of Revelation:

Revelation 18:4 NKJV – And I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues.

Seeking after mammon as always been a major factor that had started the decay of the United States. It is the one sin that came over to the Americas by those that lived in sin in Europe. Its corruption took its toll upon this nation till it cast God out of its schools and then legalized the sacrifice of the unborn upon the alter of earthly comforts and rewards. Which helped in the spread of the ignorance of the Truth of the Word of God to take hold in what was left of this once great nation. Allowing it to be taken over by demons and their worship of whom they follow. The father of all lies. Causing it to be eligible of the name “city of Babylon” and befitting the plagues that it is going to bring upon itself in that fateful day in the near future.

Revelation 18:5-18 NKJV – For her sins have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities. Render to her just as she rendered to you, and repay her double according to her works; in the cup which she has mixed, mix double for her. In the measure that she glorified herself and lived luxuriously, in the same measure give her torment and sorrow; for she says in her heart, ‘I sit as queen, and am no widow, and will not see sorrow.’ Therefore her plagues will come in one day—death and mourning and famine. And she will be utterly burned with fire, for strong is the Lord God who judges her.

This is the fate all now can escape for there is still time. For the Tribulation has yet to start as of the writing for this podcast. The smallest rapture has not yet occurred.

Turning to the True gospel is required. A life that is not centered upon the self. It must be centered upon God as is taught by the greatest commandment.

Matthew 22:36-40 NKJV – “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?” 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.”

Note the last verse:

“On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”

This tells us that not only the commandments, but parts of the laws given to use in the books of Exodus, Deuteronomy and Leviticus are still in effect. It is only the laws that revolve around sacrifice that have been removed by the cross. This is made very clear by Christ Himself earlier in the book of Matthew:

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

We are to follow all the teachings within the Bible. This is fortified here:

Romans 6:15-23 NKJV – What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not! Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness? But God be thanked that though you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine to which you were delivered. And having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness. I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves of uncleanness, and of lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves of righteousness for holiness. For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. What fruit did you have then in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Accepting Christ means we become a slave to His teaches and commands, which means they must be followed. Any who says the laws do not affect them heard their answer in verse 15 from the 6th chapter of Romans.

“What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law by under grace? CERTAINLY NOT!”

Any who says you can live your life as you so choose to, is denying this teaching and in so denies the Word of God. And Who is the Word of God.

John 1:1-5 NKJV – In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God.  All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

Next you must be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ:

John 3:5 NKJV – Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.

Acts 2:38 NKJV – Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Then we are to downsize, and we are to spread the Word of God as told to the young rich man in three different gospels.

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.”

This is our calling. This is our commission, and we must do this if we desire to enter into the service of God. Do it now. Do it quickly. For time is nearly up. This is how we come out of her for God and be His people. Thus avoiding being wiped out in one day when Yellowstone erupts if you live in North America.

God Bless

They must question the way they think and live. So they can seek to follow Christ and not the world.

Discussion

While there is still some trace of this memory in your minds for those that go to the buildings called a “church.” I wish for you to look upon what many of you may have encountered on the last Sunday service before the celebration of Christmas. As a matter of fact. Jesus was born during Tabernacles which occurs in September. However, let’s get back on topic.

Usually during these Sunday services many churches let the children reenact the birth of Christ. All put their own twist upon it. Within these twists we see the truth of these buildings. The last building I went to that performed this show highlighted a young lady who perform a dance. She oozed of self importance and loved being in the spotlight.

In simple terms. She should never have been allowed to stand upon the dais. Yet she was. Most likely because her family was seen as important people within the congregation. Christ talked about this mentality.

 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.

Because this building sought after her family’s money, they allowed this girl to fall further into a belief in her own self value. Leading her further away from God than towards Him. It was truly sorrowful to see and know that since I was just a visitor, I had no voice in this building.

Most buildings that call themselves churches thrive upon allowing sins like this to come into play. All because those that run these businesses need and love money and seek more. Becoming an abomination and making those that come to their buildings into abominations as well.

To become an abomination is to worship the mentality of the antichrist, which is why I say that most the buildings that call themselves “churches” do not serve God, but Satan and they prove it every time they allow things like what I have just given as an example to happens within their walls.

The true church is not a building or those that go to these buildings. But those that truly seek to follow the teachings of Christ, which includes downsizing and seeking to spread the Word of God. It is not allowing people that only seek to glorify themselves to have power within these buildings. We are to make them uncomfortable.

Buildings that are called “churches” technically shouldn’t exist. The true church is to meet in people’s homes. To consist of a small group of people that respect, help and honor those that are about them. There should be someone that ministers to them. However, he should not have come from a collage or a university, but chosen by God to help guide them to being them closer to God and further from the influence of the world.

The true churches should be small communities throughout the world. Never one building where people chose to go to. We are given a model of how we are to live in the book of Acts.

Acts 2:44-47 NKJV – Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common, and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had need. So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.

In the 1960’s one of the moves by those that wished to deny God used this concept to make communes. They had the right idea, but they wished to do this without God or His Son Jesus Christ. Therefore, they ultimately failed.

This type of mentality has been tried many times by those that deny God in various ways. It is an attempt to make themselves appear to be righteous not only to others in humanity but themselves as well.

What is bad about this. Is those that go to the buildings called a “church” feel redeemed in their choice and their believe that they are following God. This, however, is the furthest thing from the truth as shown by my earlier example.

It is these actions from other humans that cause people not to see the truth and accept that we are to live in small communities near where we work and use all our resources to help our fellow believers not ourselves who owns and wants earthly desires.

I know of no such place that seeks to do this at this time. But I know that within the thousand-year reign of Christ that this will be the true norm that will come to exist upon this planet till Satan is released once again to corrupt those that live normal human lives toward the end of the Christ’s thousand-year reign.

I have a feeling, but no solid proof, that lifespans may be a bit longer during the thousand-year reign. So, I will go no further with this notion.

Enough speculation.

The topic is the behavior with those within the buildings called “churches.” Let me give you another anecdote.

When I went to high school, I was a wall flower. Now mind you, as a teen, I didn’t mind this too much. Like any normal teen it did affect me, but overall, I would say it was a balance of caring and yet not caring.

Now why bring this up now, forty-six years later?

At the last church I attempted to join I attended a Men’s Retreat. This was the first time I have ever done this. It was an eye-opening experience.

It showed me the humanity of all. This is something that should not make those that go to churches proud. This is not something for those men that do go to Men’s Retreats to feel pride and joy in what they “accomplished,” either.

I was once again the wall flower. The person off to the side looking in. This time though, being a Christian. A follower of Jesus Christ. In a group that professed to being the same. Being the wall flower is somewhere I should not have found myself.

In the way those that are the Pastors, not only of this church I was trying to attend, but any church, teach. Once you are of the family of Christ. You are welcomed and loved as a brother or sister. A fellow child of God.

This was not how I felt. I saw once again the clicks, and social groups of High School. I literally saw myself shoved off to the side. Someone to be ignored and not associated with. This is not the teaching of the Bible. This is not the message of salvation within the Bible.

We cannot, nor ever should, place our beliefs in how those of humanity perceive us. Be they within the fellowship of Jesus Christ or not.

Why is this?

Because they are only human. They have their own interpretation of the Bible, most of which, is flawed and broken. Even my own view is not perfect, nor will it ever be till I stand before God. It is flawed because most have not studied their Bible for themselves and take the word of others.

What I find ironic is the first group session of the retreat was to reach out and to seek to befriend all. Yet those at this gathering really did not listen for the most part. There were those that did embrace this teaching and were outgoing and friendly. Even unto me. Yet for the most part. If you were not of the click you were not welcome within the conversation.

It is sad. Very, very sad.

For they do not see that their own actions turn those away that seek a relationship with Jesus Christ. Yet due to not understanding that God’s love of all is equal and undying. People seeking God see those within a church behaving like the jocks and the preps in High School. Turning their backs upon them instead of welcoming them with arms open. In just the way Jesus Christ Himself is desiring to do. Embracing all that come seeking Him and His Father.

This is one reason churches are dying. For they are filled not with the love of Jesus Christ and His Father. However, they are filled with the exclusion, and the segregation of human scruples which has ever been present. For the separation of social classes due to how humanity sees worldly wealth, to the color of one’s skin.

This is not how God see us. God sees all as equal. Those that accept Him to those that deny Him. God loves ALL OF HUMNAITY.

He desires all to come to Him. To stand before Him. Yet He already knows that most will never do so. To God this is something He has wept about and will weep over once again. For all of humanity must choose their own fate.

Will they come to God through Jesus Christ and accept the teaching of the Bible? Desiring to abandon all sin. Or will they choose to reject Him, because their lusts for the pleasures of this temporal world which are more important to them than their own eternal salvation.

These are lessons even those that go to churches have not fully learned and accepted in many cases. As a result, their actions which causes those that seek to be their fellows in Jesus Christ are shunned and reject. Many times, without them even being aware that they are not acting in a Christian manner.

As a result, there are those like me. That once again feel the emotions and feeling of exclusion that they many have encountered in high school as they became a flower upon the wall.

If you encounter this mentality within a building called a “church” understand that most likely you will encounter it time and again in another, yet another and yet another building.

Learn that this is how it is going to be. For we are no longer in a world that God is the center. To be frank. God has never been the center. He has come close many times. However, humans steal what is God’s and try to keep it for themselves. which results in the two examples I have given here today.

However, we are told that when the darkness within humanity becomes so dark that is when Christ will return as a thief in the night. That is soon. It is time to repent if you profess to being a follower of Christ.

If you deny God. It is time to turn to His Son Jesus Christ if you see that humans are living as humans not as caring humans. Caring for each other. They are not followers of Christ. No matter where they are. In a church or out of one.

Understand it is not the fault of God, but by humans caring only for themselves and no one else. It is selfishness and self-serving that has brought humanity to this point. It is an all-out rejection of God. Which is why Jesus Christ is soon to appear in the sky.

Get right with God now. Accept Jesus Christ, get baptized and downsize.

God Bless

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

Until further notice the messages that accompany this notice will be part of the “Come out of her my people” series. They will be harsh. They will cause people to get upset. This is as it should be. They must question the way they think and live.

Discussion

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

1 John 2:15-16 NLT – Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you. For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world.

Matthew 6:19-24 NKJV – “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. “The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness! “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.

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

Matthew 6:23 NKJV -But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!

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

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

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

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

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

Revelation 3:1-6 NKJV – “And to the angel of the church in Sardis write, ‘These things says He who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars: “I know your works, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead. Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die, for I have not found your works perfect before God. Remember therefore how you have received and heard; hold fast and repent. Therefore if you will not watch, I will come upon you as a thief, and you will not know what hour I will come upon you. You have a few names even in Sardis who have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with Me in white, for they are worthy. He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels. “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” ‘

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

God Bless
