My Lord:
Judges 2:2 And ye shall make no league with the inhabitants of this land; ye shall throw down their altars: but ye have not obeyed my voice: why have ye done this?
Why do you not hearken unto the Lord? Why do you not listen? Why do you refuse? Why do you deny the law of God? Why do you make your own foolish images? Why?
Nothing new under the sun, the same as yesterday so it is today.
WHY?
What more could God have done?
Jeremiah 5:25, " Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good things from you. "
Sin is that divide, it is that gap, it is the reason you are separated from Him and can not know Him. Repent, Repent for now is the time for salvation. Now is the time to fight, to run, to seek Him early, do so and you shall find. REPENT with all your heats, all your souls, all your minds, all your bodies, all your strength, all your might, Repent. Do not take your salvation lightly, do not ignore the gravity of the situation that lies before you and all mankind. Do not forsake the Way to have life. Do not make images in your hearts, do not allow evil to sit upon the throne of God, your hearts. You are temples made unto God and the throne is within you. Do not hearken unto the liars, the deceivers, to them that sell nothing but the buffet gospel of pick and choose what you like, what you want, what God ought to be for you to know Him. Do not play the harlot, do not fornicate with sin and death. Stand ye up, be strong like men. Dig deep and to do all ye can to stand this day.
Why do you heap the false upon yourselves? Why do you not obey? Why do you not hear the warnings and tremble at the Truth of them?
The wicked are among you, setting snares, laying wait, always to devour. Why do you not cast from you that wickedness, that wicked man? Why do you glory in iniquity and escape not them that sell and teach error? Why is this still going on?
Jeremiah 5:26, " For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men. "
Why do you love to hear lies, why do you prefer the smooth things? Why is judgement not loved? Why is righteousness not your way? Why do the things that bring the Lord to anger? Why will you keep to the traditions of men and speak well of the false prophets? Why are they chief among you? Why do you continue to cast your pearls to swine, pigs, filthy men who love them selves? Their lips speak one thing and their hearts another. What will ye do in the end when the Lord appears, when the Master returns? Many say you then will be made, perfect and complete, yet the Truth is you will be found outside the door knocking. How is it the five foolish virgins go unheeded, you can not wait till after Christ comes, you must be a bride preparing for the bridegroom, for the bride prepares for that which is loved first. To do the first works but only if you have ever truly known them. So many only have found in lip service and have never known the salvation, never known free indeed. Having sadly been sold the just confess and say you believe and then go right back to that old man, no one can be righteous, no one can cease, no one can utter foolishness buffet gospel of pick and choose what it is God must be for you to be saved. It is a horror to see so many lost in such foolishness, foolishness being sin as much as any other sin. Why can the fruits not be found among the professed, why the fail everyday, always sinning willfully, can not do it, must be done for you forever gospel of inability? Where is the power they speak of when one can never see the manifestation of the power of God in them? That ability to cease from sin and do the works meet/worthy of repentance? God will not always contend and strive with man, surely this must be realized. A train is coming and it can not be stopped and all who step in front of it in that last moment will be destroyed by it. The conscience defiled can not bear the presence of the Lord. The wilful sinner can not bear the presence of the Lord. They who do not become the image that they are required to be can not bear the presence of the Lord. It is that shock of knowing instantly you have taken that last step, you have foolishly not looked before stepping, you have not had the lamp upon thy feet and you have stepped in front of a speeding train and you will know in that instant "why", it is a blink of an eye and nothing now can save you. You have chosen to ignore the Truth and walk in the lust of your flesh and the lust of your eyes and the pride of life was your master. You will know it was the true nature of all "freewill", your freewill choice to ignore all the Truth that is in the world testifying of the God, all will have no excuse, for there is no excuse. There will be weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth, it will be an awful day. Who desires the day of the Lord? A dark and terrible day, who will be able to abide it? Who abides in the Truth, who seeks it with all that they possess? Who speaks of the Lord and truly stands fast with Him? Who will not compromise with sin? Who makes no excuses for sin? Who makes no provisions for there flesh to fulfill the lusts thereof? No compromise, it is sin unto death or obedience unto righteousness. What will you do in the end thereof? Affirm, are you in the faith that has power and ability or the lie that has no power, no ability and can not save you. Which is your Truth? What have you bought? What fruit hangs from your tree?
Jeremiah 5:31, " The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof? "
Truly, behold, the Word of God is unto them a reproach, they do not delight in it. They do not love the conviction of it, the Truth of it. Lip services is no service, it is the doer of the word, the deeds, the actions, the works. Who stands in the gap before God Almighty and barks loudly? Who desires the Truth with all their might and sounds their trumpet of the fake, feigned, pretense, for the so called churches, the professed who say they can not but sin? They can not cease from sin, who say peace in sin, who say safety in sin, who says ye shall have rest in sin? Who changes the image of God into the image of corruptible man? Who says it is al paid for and yet continues in that old man, those who have never known freedom indeed. If you have never been set free indeed, then you have never known the power to be truly free, one then can not understand the Truth of truly being set free indeed, so they feign, for a pretense they do speak of the Truth. Much easier to invent ones own god than to become the image of God. To buy the many lies being offered, the lies, the smooth things, to learn the ways of the sinners. Lasciviousness, that liberty in sin, they love serving corruption and yet to promise liberty. Love being able to walk in the lust of there flesh and pretend, feign salvation. To glory outwardly in appearance only, while inwardly they are defiled, filthy, walking in the pride of life, loving the world and all that is in it. They actually believe that riches of this world are a godly thing. When the riches that are spoken of over and over in the book of the Lord are His grace, grace being that teacher, that teaching, the wisdom, the knowledge, the understanding, that engrafted Word that is able to save you. The Word that is Christ in you, planted and taken root in the good soil of your hearts. Not being choked out, plucked, over grown with all the many tricks of them that love not the Truth, yet love to be lied to, love to have it so. How easy does anyone think it is to be shown that no one knows Him, that all walk after their own images of a god that is not, nor ever has been and yet it is. Is to them that have invented it a foolish delusion of something that can not save them. Knowing I myself had this in me, had an idol before me and had no idea of it, no idea that in my heart I worshiped a book that expressed an image of God, but was not God, it was that other thing, that lie, that invention of man, that imagination of a mans heart put on paper for all to read and to be deceived and I spoke well of that man, held that fool in high regard to my own destruction. How easy does anyone think it is to see this all around in so many? How easy does anyone think it is to be shown this and have to out of love speak of it to them I love and see the looks in their faces, the shock, the terror, the confusion, the inability to grasp the gravity of the situation that lays before us all. The hurt, it makes me cry, it breaks my heart, I have no pleasure in seeing anyone hurt, anyone being destroyed, like God I desire none to perish, no not one. Knowing all can Repent, all can be saved but are willfully choosing to not be, having bought lies, having loved the foolishness of the vain imaginations of hearts defiled.
Again, I have said it over and over and over. I did not invent anything, what I was shown was what I was shown and I have added nothing to it. All that they believed has been a lie, it is all a lie. In my death I was shown that none knew Him and in that moment, it was just an instant as I recall it, I could feel it more sure as I have ever known anything. I knew in that instant I had to stay, I had to tell my wife, my mother all whom I loved and more, the Truth of what I was shown. It was filled with joy to get to do so, but when the time came to tell them "NONE" of them wanted to hear it, it made them hate me, treat me with anything but love. As if I had done something to them, me having never been a man of God, but walked in the service of my flesh for all my life. Doing things that I have nothing but shame for having done. They all knew many of these thing and that is all they could see in me. I blame no one, for I would have done the same in their position. Who wants to hear from the chief of sinners that they know not what they ought to know, what they were so certain of knowing. Who was I to tell anyone they knew God not at all and that they god they knew was satan. My mother shared scriptures with me all my life and I did my best to ignore them all my life, yet God is my witness and my witness is true, she knew Him not. If I am lying of this, woe is me, what kind of person would make something up like this? I can not in all my evil deeds in the past imagine being so hateful as to invent such a thing. Yet I know there are many out there who can and do. I know I will stand before God Almighty and I can do so with my heart being free of any of this, for I did not give this to myself, He gave it to me and I have no choice, for it is by love I did so and do so. For the Love I found in the Lord I spoke what I was given to speak. My conscience is clear in the matter through the Holy Ghost, I have lied not.
So right hear I have lived another verse, as I have many others. Right here I tell you all, the word of the Lord was a "reproach" unto them all, they had no delight in it. NO delight in hearing the Truth of their salvation being a vain imagination of their own hearts, through the lust of their flesh, through the lust of their eyes and the pride of their lives. I lived this, witnessed this and I have no pleasure in hurting anyone, it was and is the Truth. I have no power of my own to do anything for I have submitted my life to the Lord and I do as I was told out of love for Him that told me. He who said "tell them about Me" and I thought within myself after the fact "tell them what"?
What did I know about Jesus? The last five plus years of writing about Him and the testimony He gave me. The working out of my salvation with fear and trembling, sharing it with all freely, has shown to me that He gave it all to me, I just could not yet see it. All the things that happened to me that I have testified of over these few years gave me a mighty testimony through Him. I still marvel over it, the questioning, the questions, the doubt, are you sure You chose correctly Lord? Me? You want me to tell of You? Tell them what? I have nothing to boast of in my life but one thing, Christ and Him crucified. I did nothing with this life but use and abuse, sure I did some nice things from time to time, but it was all in the service of myself. I have nothing but shame of the old man I was, what a waste of life I was, it makes me cry and I cry all the time. Each time I realize the magnitude of the depth in which the Lord pulled me from, the horror of the things I conceived into this world, the things I know He heard me say, saw me do, the pain I wrought, truly I love Him all the more for it. For saving me from such a vile and filthy state, to show me love when I clearly had never in all my life knew love. What real love was, or the power that is truly possessed. To have Him pour this out in me, a cup overflowing when it deserved not a single drop. I deserved not a drop to wet my tongue with and yet He was willing to drown me in His. It would be the greatest injustice of all if I was to turn from Him, to trodden underfoot the blood that He spilt for me, to make Him into anything less than He is. Truly the world could not contain all the things that should be written of Jesus. To say I am not worthy to unlatch His shoes is a gross understatement. To weep upon His feet and wash them with my tears is a joy to my soul Amen.
The hate that I saw in them towards me for trying to just speak the Truth, hurt. The Truth was not a delight unto them, nor do I now find many who delights in the Truth. They hear it and I can see them picking and choosing the parts that pleases them and ignoring the parts that convict them of anything. Not loving correction, not wanting to change and walk according to the Truth but preferring the buffet gospel, of picking and choosing just the parts that pleases themselves. The love of pleasure, the love of self and the love of the world. Repent while there is time, Repent and make straight the Way of the Lord for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. Life is but a vapor, the time is short and I know it is not easy, no war is ever easy. I beg, beseech, I plead and cry, please fight with all your might, Repent while there is time and truly run the race set before all mankind. God desire no one to perish, and why will ye die? Repent, Repent, Repent and Go and Sin No More. You are able to do all things through Christ, you can even do more, you can be equal to the Master, but you can not be above. Repent and be baptized for the remission of sins past and receive ye the Holy Ghost. The very Spirit of God will teach you all things and bring all things that Christ said to remembrance. You need no man to teach you, no one needs to lean upon anyone but Christ, cast all your cares upon Him and do it all as unto the Lord Jesus. Work together with Him, do not expect it all to be done for you. I beseech you all to escape from them that live in error, run.
There is not peace in sin, no safety in sin, no rest in sin and all who ignore the Truth will find out what I pray none ever know, the horror of being separated from the presence of the Lord Jesus. It is far worse then anyone can imagine, no imagination of anyone can realize the terror of it, the complete lack of peace and safety and rest, run.
Jeremiah 6:10, " To whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they may hear? behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot hearken: behold, the word of the LORD is unto them a reproach; they have no delight in it. "
Jeremiah 6:14, " They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace. "
Who stands unashamed for the abominations that are committed in this world? Who can not even blush at the sight of the wickedness that is before all, upon ever corner, at every turn, who stands in the path and asks for the old ways? Who searches out the things that pleases God Almighty? Have you not heard that only in the good Way can anyone have and know the rest of the Lord Jesus? Why do you say you will not hearken? Why do you refuse everyday to turn back and Repent, why will you die?
Jeremiah 6:15, " Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall among them that fall: at the time that I visit them they shall be cast down, saith the LORD. "
Jeremiah 6:16, " Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein. "
The Lord sends to them those that warn, that have heard, that stand in the gap before Him and sound the trumpets of war, but who hears them? WHO DELIGHTS IN THE WORD THEY BRING? Who runs to the lines of war, where are the men that fight the good fight of faith working by love and proven by deeds? Have ye not heard it is WORKS, DEEDS, ACTIONS, WORTHY OF REPENTANCE? If it be that you have been set free indeed, if. It is not just believe and continue upon the same old way of sin confess sin repeat. It is not sin repent sin and no newness of life to be seen? God is power and not a bunch of words that fall upon nothing, that return to Him not having no increase. Why this day has no one shouted from the rooftops, Repent for the Kingdom is at hand, it is always at hand for tomorrow is no mans? If ye die today, this very moment, where will ye stand? Why refuse to hear the warning, the alarm, the trumpet of war? Why do you not run to the battle and fight? Rise early and seek Him and ye shall find that He loves them that Love Him, do not deceive yourselves, do not make your own image of Him, so that you can walk circumspect of Him. Why will ye not hearken to the sound of the Trumpets of war?
Jeremiah 6:17, " Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken. "
Have ye not heard what is sown is reaped? Sow corruption and ye shall reap corruption. Have ye not heard it is sin unto death OR obedience unto righteousness? Have ye not heard it is the doer of the word that proves His love and not just the hearer? The good tree produces good fruit, the branch that abides in the Vine produces fruit of that Vine in which it abides. A good tree can not produce bad fruit, a man of God does not fail everyday in thought, word and deed! A man of God does not fail everyday. A man of God is a man and no more a child who could not put away from him childish things. A man of God is ABLE, is capable, has put away that child, is grown up and serves not his flesh but the Spirit of God he doth abide. A bad tree produces bad fruit, it can not produce good fruit. A man who sins knows not God, neither could he have ever known Him. Stop sinning, stop listening to the vain imaginations of men and leaning upon them that sell error, sell lies, sell violence and death. Trust in the Lord while there is time to find Him, lean upon Him, cast all your cares upon Him. Do all things as unto Him and not unto men. Reject not the Commandments of God, they are His testimony to us, His love expressed to us so we can walk with Him, be near to Him. Do not walk in the pride of life, fulfilling the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes. Be ye "ABLE", show forth the contents of true belief, of true faith, of true love. Who rejects the Commandments of God for the vain commandments of men? Who teaches the commandments of men as doctrine?
Jeremiah 6:19, " Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my words, nor to my law, but rejected it. "
Who teaches stupid lies, who are destroyed for the lack of knowledge?
Jeremiah 10:21, " For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the LORD: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered. "
Jeremiah 12:10, " Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness. "
Jeremiah 22:22, " The wind shall eat up all thy pastors, and thy lovers shall go into captivity: surely then shalt thou be ashamed and confounded for all thy wickedness. "
Jeremiah 23:1, " Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the LORD. "
They shall reap what they have sown. Making excuses for sin, compromising with sin, making provisions for sin, selling lies, prophecying lies, speaking smooth things. Only wanting to be happy and not see the terror in their faces. It hurts to see it but it must be, they must turn back, the must be saved and speaking only what make them happy does not them any good. The must be convicted, they must be told the Truth, God hath said ye surely shall die. If ye eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil you will die, you can not mix the cups, you can not share the tables, you can not be double minded and expect anything from the Lord but what is promised to all who go and sin more, to all who Repent not. If none know the Lord then none of them can be saved. Do not think it is written in vain that eight in all the world was saved. Three in all of Sodom and Gomorrah were saved. That a righteous man is scarcely saved and that then if this be so, where will the sinner be found? Do not think that the door will not be shut up upon you who think it is all done for them, all paid for them, that nothing is required of them. That they can never do what is required of them to do. Do not buy to utter foolishness of once saved always saved, pre trib babble, fables and wise tales of freedom as they serve corruption. Do not fall for the tricks and deception of that evil one who said "ye shall not surely die", yes you will die, yes you can be forever separated from the presence of the Lord and it is far worse then you can imagine it to be. I tell you what i was shown, I lived the horror of knowing what it is like to be separated from Him. I know the the unspeakable Truth of the joy found in Him as well. Nothing in this life can compare of entering into the joy of the Lord, it is unspeakable because no words will ever exist that could explain it so that some one could imagine it. Just as that is absolute so is the unspeakable horror of hell is, take my word for it, do not go there. The rich man spoke correctly when he said "warn my brethren do not come here"!
Do not ignore theses words " there is a fixed gulf so great that they in that hell of separation can not go to heaven and they in heaven can not go to hell ", do not buy from the likes of Rob Bell, he will send you to hell and you will not ever leave. The fire that is spoken of is far worse then flames of fire, it is the torment you feel knowing you have been separated from the presence of the Lord. This separation burns far worse than any flame could ever burn. Torment that rises up forever and ever before the Lamb and His angels. I have tasted of this and I tell you all it is far worse than any words can ever express. A lake of fire would be a pleasant thing compared to being separated from the Lord Jesus.
The rich man did not error in his words saying he was "tormented in this flame". I felt the burning of it in me when I was shown it in a vision. I was instantly tormented and it burned in me, knowing the purest of lust that is satan absolute without mixture, the wrath of God without mixture. In this world we do know the good and the evil, we receive a mixture of the two, but a day fast approaches when it will be no more mixture and all who choose hell will regret it beyond all spoken words. I tell you absolute Truth of what I was shown and felt. There was NO PEACE, NO SAFETY, NO REST, NO MERCY, NO LOVE, NO KINDNESS, NO TENDERNESS, it was pure lust, 100% undiluted wantonness, to a perfect degree. It could not be satisfied, it had no mercy, not one single drop, it had not love, not one single drop, it was perfect hate, perfect murder, perfect in a complete absence of the Lord, not a single drop. Hear the rich man testify and do not think this was allegory just to make you understand, it is factual to a perfect degree. The rich man asking for Abraham to dip just the tip of his finger in the water, the waters of life, of good, of holiness, of godliness, of Truth, of salvation, of freedom, of liberty, of mercy, of kindness, of peace, of safety, of rest, of hope, of hope, of hope. For there is not a drop of hope in hell, not a single drop of the waters of life in hell. It is completely devoid of all things good and is complete to perfection of all things bad, evil, and hell. This is what these frauds sell, these pastors who scatter the flock and it is what they will reap and all who loveth a lie, loveth unrighteousness and hide their eyes from the Truth. Who do not learn to sigh and cry over the abominations in the world, but rather have pleasure in them.
I was told this was just a story to get you to consider and I tell you it is not. Factual in every way it is and all who refuse to hear will know I have lied not at all. It is the perfect opposite of heaven, hell is and no one should desire to go there, or desire anyone to go there, God surely does not desire this. Do not place your evil upon God, it is not Him that refuses you, you are the one who refuse Him. He has extended is hand and it is outstretched even now to all who will Repent, Repent and be baptized for the remission of sins past. It is the marl of God to sigh and cry over the abominations in this world, and it is the marl of the beast upon all of them that do not sigh and cry over the abominations in this world.
Jeremiah 23:2, " Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the LORD. "
Heaven is the perfect opposite of hell.
HEAVEN IS, The Good Sown Being Reaped! To some 100, some 60, some 30...!!! I must decrease so He can increase. Magnify His Name, give glory to Him that glory is due.
The Good Sown Will Be Reaped!
Matthew 13:24, " Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: "
The Faith!
Matthew 13:31, " Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field: "

All The Heart, The Mind, The Soul, The Might, The Strength!
Matthew 13:44, " Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field. "

The Payment!
Matthew 25:20, " And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more. "
Heaven filled with the contents of the faithful, the substance of things hoped for by the faithful. A faith that worked by love and was proven by deeds. The works worthy of repentance increasing the Lord thy God Almighty. All the things the pastors who scatter the flock will reap nothing of. Heaven not filled with sinners, rather filled with born again saints of God Almighty, who Repented, who turned back, who let go of sin, who had had enough of sin and death and desired in their hearts the change. They who fallowed the fields of their hearts through repentance, truly being set free indeed form the bondage of sin and death. Not the delusion of them that say they have been freed to commit all the abominations that they ungodly commit. Ungodly is the lack of God in them, not the abundance of God in them allowing them to remain a filthy rag wretch chief of sinners forever. Godliness is power, it is profitable, it is ability. Remember, they stand in the house of God called by His Name, "YOU". You are the temples of God created by His hands. They in the temple of God, for it is called by His Name, stand in His house and say they are delivered to do all these things. This is NOT new, it is the same as it ever was. The same license to sin filthiness, the same lasciviousness, the same licentiousness, the same promise of liberty but serving corruption. It is nothing new, this is the same lie the serpent sold in the garden and it is the same lie sold today, you shall not surely die in your sins, but you will become gods knowing good and evil. All the lies are one, it is all the same lie sold by many names, in many forms but all being that same old lie. Saved to commit sin, saved to remain the same, saved to look nothing like Jesus but just as they ever was. There is nothing new under the sun, the same as it ever was. Just as the Lord is the same today, yesterday and tomorrow, so is the lie that is being sold is the same. No matter how you slice it, twist it, sift through it, it all leads to one absolute thing, liberty in sin, inability, all done for you, all paid for you, do nothing, powerless, just sit and wait upon the Lord, prepare not at all, pick and choose what you like buffet gospel, that is not the gospel at all. This can not be said enough, written of enough, one could just say this over and over and it would forever in this world remain the Truth. They think they are saved in their sins and freed to continue to sin for the are born to sin, born again sinners, sinning saints of God Almighty, they have one true nature and that is the nature to sin. They do even BLUSH over saying it. I witness and I testify as I sat with a professed Christian as he expressed the sin nature of man and could not even blush at saying those words. I did not sit silent but I rebuked and spoke the Truth. God is not to blame, you are to blame, God has made all men upright and men have chosen to walk hunched over by the weight of sin and death. I explained this with great detail to that man and his son. I watered and can only pray that God increase them both to step out of the dark and into the light. To lay down the lie and take up the Truth. This man was saved in his own mind and yet showed the fruits of the old man unsaved, it was outwardly but not inwardly. This man taught his own son to pass through the flames. Teaching his son the commandments of men for doctrine. Look son you are not able, you are Cain, you are not able to do all things, you are Cain. You are created to commit abominations before God, you are never not going to fail, you are always going to be wicked hearted. God can not give you a new heart. Even if God did gave you a new heart, it would still be a wicked heart and who could know it. You can not keep, maintain, or do the Commandments of God and no one has. You are incapable through Christ to do all things but He will do them all for you, just believe it, RIGHT? Just say grace, RIGHT? You are saved, you are delivered to do all these abominations in the house of God that is you.
Jeremiah 7:10, " And come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations? "
Surely then you should be ashamed of having slept with the enemy, fornicated with the enemy. Having been in love with lies, wanting to be deceived and lied to, for loving to have it so. Surely then you will head the the Truth, Repent. The sword of the enemy and the fear is on on every side. Repent for He cometh as A thief in the night, no man knoweth the hour, Repent while there is time, this time of Grace. Grace is time to be taught the Truth, to choose, to make a decision, for there are many in the valley of decision. Eat of the butter and the honey to know to refuse the evil and not to choose the good. Or eat of the pastors lies and false prophecies of being freed in sin and choose the evil and refuse the good. Time it work it out for yourselves with fear and trembling, grace teaching us to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts, to live sober, righteous and godly in this present world. That is to live NOW godly lives and not tomorrow. To prepare NOW for now is the time for salvation. To be a wise virgin lamps filled with oil, the Holy Ghost in you, prepared, ready, waiting, watching for the Masters return. True belief, that is faith, being faithful, loyal, fidelity, monogamy, one love, one Truth, one Way, one Life, one in the body of Christ. Crucified with Him and living in sin no longer, for God forbids that you do so.
Jeremiah 6:26, " O daughter of my people, gird thee with sackcloth, and wallow thyself in ashes: make thee mourning, as for an only son, most bitter lamentation: for the spoiler shall suddenly come upon us. "
For ashes, beauty, not for sin blessings. Right here you must hear this, for so many refuse this Truth. THE OIL OF JOY for mourning, again, THE OIL OF JOY for mourning. What you will joy in "if" you walk in the Spirit and not the flesh is joy for the mourning. To get to mourn for all the abominations in the world, for it is the MARK OF GOD UPON YOU. This is great joy indeed, to suffer for the Name of the Lord is great joy in deed. They marked by the beast or to say they who do not mourn over the abominations in the world, but rather find pleasure in them that do the abominations, including themselves. They bear the mark of the beast for they can not mourn for the filth of sin, they can not even blush over it, they are marked by the beast, by their OWN ACTIONS, DEEDS, DOINGS, WORKS, out of their OWN MOUTHS is the proof of to whom the yield. For to whom ye yield are ye servants to obey. You serve that which you prove by your own deeds. Out of the mouth of the slothful servant, that servant is judged.
The servants of God show forth the fruits of serving Him, they joy in the mourning, for it proves, it is proof of to whom they have yielded them selves to. To submit to God is joy indeed. It is mercy indeed, it is peace indeed, it it safety indeed, it is rest indeed. It is a measure to measure with, to know that you are upon the Rock of salvation and not upon that broad way to hell. To know you are free indeed and not that pretend state of just believe and confess, accept Jesus and go get dunked in some water going about pretending you have received the Holy Ghost. Showing no signs of actual salvation, no new heart that is a literal thing and not some metaphor, allegory thing they make it out to be. They who have not received can not know this, for one cannot have what they do not have, can not know what they do not know. They can not testify of the Truth, when they do not yet have the Truth. No one can give you what they do not possess already. No man gave me this and no man can take it. I am beholden to no man, because no man can give me what I have been given. I am beholden to the Lord who set me free indeed and Him alone. I have no man to boast of but Christ and I know it.
Keep listening for I know many who know this verse and love it, quote it, and yet show no signs of the fruit of it. The GARMET of PRAISE "for" the SPIRIT of HEAVINESS. WHY, WHY, WHY can they not hear this Truth, they REFUSE IT. I can say it and point it out forever but the Holy Ghost teach it, it means nothing. I can not give anyone the increase, just plant and water and pray the Lord God giveth the increase. Christ is what? Lowly, pitiful, meek, contrite, the SPIRIT OF HEAVINESS for the GARMET OF PRAISE. PRAISE YE THE LORD for I am heavy, O Lord keep me low, keep me pitiful, contrite, keep me broken so I may serve You, praise You, magnify Your Name always. Beauty for these ashes of brokenness. Search me O Lord and if there be anything that must be purged, show me, correct me, teach me, guide me, I love correction, I love the Truth, I do not want any lie in me. I know I can not walk with the Lord in a lie, I must possess the Truth, I must possess You O Lord in me at all cost. I will forsake anything to have the Lord in me. Show me what I have placed before You O Lord and I will cast that thing from me. I will count it all as dung as I do this whole world. There is nothing I desire above You O Lord. My eyes are as rives for You O Lord, I weep now for you O Lord, I cry for You O Lord, now this day so I might laugh tomorrow. The foundation is You O Lord, the foundation of repentance I will not build again. That I might be called a tree of righteousness, THE PLANTING OF THE LORD, THAT HE MIGHT BE GLORIFIED. GLORIFIED by me in thought, in word, in actions/deeds/works. That I might sing the songs of praises of You O Lord, my mouth not moving, by my heart. You being magnified in me, by me, the light shinning forth through me, this silent praise of the life given freely to You O Lord. That they may see You in me, You O Lord and not me. The song I sing is a life given over to You, works worthy of repentance. My life a song to You O Lord. My actions a song to You O Lord. My deeds a song to You O Lord. I need not speak, but being that doer speakth for me, You speak for me, not I that liveth but Christ liveth in me. I speak but not I, Christ. Matthew 10:20 as you told me so long ago. My walk with You O Lord for all to see. Freely You gave to me, freely I give it all away. James wrote it perfectly, and again I will say it.
Isaiah 61:3, " To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified. "
Repent...
James 4:7, " Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. "
Repent, submit, God Commandeth all men everywhere to Repent.
James 4:8, " Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. "
Repent, cleanse your hands, purify your hearts you double minded, who think you are saved and are delivered to live in sin. That you are unable and yet can do all things through Christ but cease from sinning.
James 4:9, " Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. "
Be afflicted, beauty for ashes, oil of joy for MOURNING, garmet of praise for HEAVINESS, Repent. I will be guilty before God, I will submit myself, for in weakness I am made strong. I will cry and be strong, I will sigh and be made strong, I will be heavy and be made strong through Christ I am able to be a great cheer for He overcame the world. I have will overcome with Him in me, for together we are workers, labourers with Him. We are able to do all things through Him, for He is our strength, our righteous example. Not Him doing all for us, but showing us the Way He has. It is deny thyself and take up thy cross and follow Him. It is NOT deny yourselves nothing, allow Christ to take up His cross and do it all for you, and He will cause you to follow Him. You work it out, with Him. You do it with Him. You are able with Him. You can deny yourselves, you can walk in the Spirit and not the flesh.
Why then do so many not this, yet pretend to? Why refuse, why pretend, why lie, why want the fake salvation that is not salvation at all?
Obey Him, do the works. Stand ye in the gate of the Lord and proclaim there this Word. Repent, amend your ways and your doings. Trust ye not in lying words saying the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord are these. For if "YOU" throughly amend your ways and your doings. "If" "YOU" will THROUGHLY exercise JUDGEMENT.
Why? Why do you not these things? Because you trust in lying words, lying pastors, loving to hear the lies and not the Truth. Because you have setup in your hearts idols. Just as I had done, making God into your own image. Your belly is your god, that is your passions and your desires, your lusts and your wants. You want God to be as you desire Him to be. You want God to conform to your bellies wants, to consume Him upon your lusts. To eat of Him and drink of Him but not Him, but of you.
Behold "WHY", you trust in lying words that can not profit you, can not save you. I have heard them myself tell me they are free to steal, kill and destroy. What pretends to be the church of God obeys NOTHING of God, they divorce, they remarry and profess out of the same mouth to love the Lord Jesus who forbids such things. They commit adultery and do not even blush of doing it, even in the face of the very Word of God. They swear falsely, saying they will for better or worst and then break the very word they proclaim, truly just as they did before, you burn incense unto baal, and walk after other gods whom you know not. I tell you you have no idea of what you speak of, the gods to whom ye serve, the evil that awaits such disobedience. I have testified of this evil and the horror of it. You stand in the house of God "YOU" and say you are saved from sin and death and yet continue to walk in the lust of your own passion and desires. Standing in buildings made of mans hands professing to love God and doing everything but love Him. How many divorce and then go looking for another, yet say they love the Lord with all their hearts, minds, bodies, souls and all their might? If you can not be honest with the things of this world how could you possibly be trusted to be honest with the things of God Almighty?
Jeremiah 7:8, " Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit.
Jeremiah 7:9 Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye know not;
Jeremiah 7:10 And come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations? "
If you can not obey the Word of God in this world, how will you ever be trusted to obey it in heaven? Who will give unto you the true riches, things worth more than all this world? Things that gold and silver and all the precious gems could never afford you to have? The riches of God, wisdom of Him, knowledge of Him, understanding of Him? The Truth of Grace, the profit of godliness? Who would commit trust unto anyone who can not be trusted with the things of this life? Making oaths and keeping them not, saying they love God here and now, yet do everything but love Him. Saying the will honor this person with all their might, for better or worst and then when a little persecution, a little trouble comes, one so easily leaves what was proclaimed to be the love of their life, to honor them in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, till death do they part. How will that person love God, when put to the test, when a little persecution arises, when sickness comes, when poverty comes, will they then not depart even unto death or will they depart for another? I am not judged by anyones deeds but my own. Just because another breaks there promise does that make my promise any less? Can I now break my oath before God because another broke theirs to Him. We are to be subject not just to the good master, but the froward as well. Simply said, when things are hard you are still to be subject to thine oath. When things are good, you are still to be subject to thine oath. It matters not if the master is good or perverse, you are not bound by anothers actions, you are bound by yours. You are not judged for anothers deeds, you are going to be judged by yours alone.
So we find that invention of man so many go whoring with. God would not want me to live like this. How many times have we all heard this from so called lovers of Christ? Instantly when they are put to the test they are ready to quit, ready to break their own word. Ready to make God into their own image so they can serve their own lust, their own passion and desires. So they can break their words and feel alright with it, to self justify. Look, my god does not require of me to suffer anything, to keep my word if I am "unhappy". God is to conform to me and not me to Him. Why, because they refuse to obey. It is simple, it is the same thing over and over and over. Sin unto death or obedience unto righteousness.
They say they love Christ and yet are unfaithful to Him, but He is supposed to love them "just the way they are", when the word of God says, "He loves them that love Him". See it is always the perfect opposite with evil, it is so opposite it almost looks like the real thing, so subtle it is, yet it has nothing to do with God Almighty or what He has said.
Luke 16:10, " He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.
Luke 16:11 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? "
We can go over this again and again and it always leads to the same two paths. One is obedient, the other is not.
Saved by grace through faith, all know this verse well, I have no doubt of it.
Through Faith ye are saved of Grace. Faith being what? Truly consider it, truly, you take the time to search it out. Even if I write it here, you search it out also, so you can rejoice in the works that you do, it is good to find joy in the works of good things, is it not?
Let us reason indeed, Amen? Amen!
Faith: fidelity to one's promises.
Instantly we hear the Truth, "fidelity".
Faith: sincerity of intentions.
We hear the Truth, it is "sincerity" of your intentions, to make an oath and keep it for instance.
Faith: belief and trust in and loyalty to God.
We hear again the Truth, "loyalty".
Faith: complete trust.
We hear the Truth, it is "trust". Does not love Trust?
Faith: without question.
We hear the Truth, faith is without question, it trust without doubt, it obeys unto death even, it can not be compromised with, it can not have a provision made for it. It is absolute, it is love, it can not fail, for it is faithful to the very end, be it a bitter end, be it a pleasant end, no matter, better or worst it never fails. Even if the thing that is loved fails, my love will not fail, it will remain faithful, or it was never love to begin with. I have never know love but just used the word to serve my own self interest if I can just walk away, turn my back on it.
Faith:
Strong's No.: G4102
Greek: πίστις
Transliteration: pistis
Pronunciation: pis'-tis
Definition: From G3982; persuasion that is credence; moral conviction (of religious truth or the truthfulness of God or a religious teacher) especially reliance upon Christ for salvation; abstractly constancy in such profession; by extension the system of religious (Gospel) truth itself: - assurance belief believe faith fidelity.
We see that faith bears contents of something. It is not just a word empty, but it contains something. Fidelity, sincerity, loyalty, trust, faithfulness, monogamy a practice of loving just one, sleeping with just one, to be monogamous is to be loyal, is to be faithful, to do so even when the other is not as it is written in the Word of God. Even when the other is not faithful, you are to be faithful and look not for another. This is the example set by the Lord Jesus Christ and is the standard set before all mankind. Men do not like it, so they invent other ways, other means around the Word of God, so they can fulfill the lust of their own flesh, that is the passions and the desires that they want, and not what God wants. Go to any church and this sin is gloried in and all who do so are partakers of that sin. If you do not cast it out, you are of that thing as much as them who are doing it. Bind yourself to a whore and you are a whore, find pleasure in whoring and you are a whore. What you do is what you are, what you say is what you are, it shows forth what you have stored in your heart and where your heart is, is where your treasure is also. What you love is what you store in your heart, you love the Lord, He will be in your heart. You will speak of The Lord in Truth. You love lies and lies will be stored in your heart and you will speak of these things, you can even mix them with the Lord Jesus, but it will not make it any less a lie.
We read that faith works by love, so we see that without love there is no faith. Even when you love evil, your faith is in that evil thing that you love. The Truth always prevails no matter how you sift through all of this. Faith works by love and is proven by deeds. By your action, your words, you prove what you love. Love to be free to sin and you will be. Love to be bound to the Lord and you will be. As you do, do you are, as written, as you say, so do.
We read that it is "assurance", faith assures us that what you are faithful to, you will obey that thing. Again, it testifies that what is written is the Truth, for we see it is the Truth by simple demonstration through out our own lives and in the lives of others. It is not a difficult to understand, but when it serves ourselves, then we can twist it to any form we like to self justify are passions and desires, that is the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the pride of life. We are assured that if we are faithful we will reap that which we are faithful to. We see then the Truth, as you have sown so you shall reap.
Saved by grace though faith in what?
Then we must again look at what grace is for it is what we place our faith in, it is what we are assured of, that we love. Grace we are told without question is a teacher, and we all know grace is a period of time, a time to say grace, a time to be thankful, a time to be considerate, a time of courtesy, a time of kindness and the most used is the unmerited favor of God. For it is unmerited, God wanting none to perish, finding a way to give us time to work out our salvation. As all know it to be a dispensation of grace. The reason so many believe and are taught they are freed from the Law, but sadly the throw out the whole kitchen with the dirty water. The law of sin and death, we are freed from this law through this time of grace, this dispensation of grace, so we are freed from the law that requires us to all die right now as we all deserve. God has by His grace given us time and a way to avoid having to pay this debt owed death. He gave His only begotten Son as a payment for our sins, to wash us, that is to be born again, to be crucified with Christ and raised again in the newness of life. Grace teaches us to deny ungodliness and worldly lust for they are death, the wages of sin. To live sober, righteous and godly in this present world, for they are the life, the wages of the Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ. Not that we are free from laws, Commandments, that we are free to have a chance to exercise in this time of grace. We can exercise righteousness and all the laws that applied to righteousness. Or we can exercise wickedness and suffer the all the law that is applied to wickedness, death, that everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord. We can place our faith in the teachings of Christ to live sober, righteously and godly lives right here and right now. Or we can ignore this teaching and continue on the broad way that most find and go on to live, ungodly lives filled with worldly lusts.
So we have the answer to why? It is answered over and over in the book of the Lord. It is summed up perfectly clearly with Obey or do not obey. Sin unto death or obedience unto righteousness. It is that simple, yet in the world it is anything but, for it is twisted and turned in to every way possible. The many paths that lead to death, all hidden to look like the narrow Path that leads to Life. We have to sort through this mess and if we truly desire the Truth it will be given to you. God is not mocked and He knows who desire what, so lip service is useless. The ones who pretend are not fooling anyone but themselves. They who trust in lies will reap those lies.
Men prefer the traditions and the cultures and the commandments of men. They willfully ignore the Truth and will keep the things that have nothing to do with the Lord God. It is the same now as then.
Jeremiah 7:17, " Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem? "
They will mix the cup of the Lord with devils and they are told and even know deep within themselves but they will celebrate the filth of easter and all the other traditions of men to gods that are not God at all. They will make all the excuse they need to serve whatever they want.
Jeremiah 7:18, " The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger. "
Remember, it just for fun, for the kids, no harm, no big deal, no one is being hurt, when it is not fun, not for the kids, it is harming, it is a big deal and many are being hurt. It is the perfect opposite of what they say, it always is. Evil well spoken of, and the good evil spoken of. None want the the Truth or the Truth to get in the way of a evil good time. The ways of righteousness are evil spoken of, but the way of evil is well spoken of. It just for fun, right? It just a tradition, no big deal, right?
Jeremiah 7:19, " Do they provoke me to anger? saith the LORD: do they not provoke themselves to the confusion of their own faces? "
Confused by their own faces, they proceed upon their own ways, certain that their way is the right way even when it is leading them to destruction. The Command was simple, obey. Obey His voice and He would be their God, and it would be well unto all that so chose to do so. But they refuse as they always have. Loving the lie of sin nature, born to sin, born to rebel, to do their wills over His will. Why is ever the same as it ever was. It will be the same this day and tomorrow.
Jeremiah 7:23, " But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you. "
They have walked not in the obedience of god but in the counsels of their own imaginations of their evil hearts, going backwards and not forward. The backwards man, hunched over in the weight of sin and death, pretending to know pleasure in destruction and death.
Jeremiah 7:24, " But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward. "
Why?
Why will you die for the lack of knowledge of the Truth, just to find pleasure in evil? Why will you not hear the Truth of eating of the knowledge of good and evil will kill you? Simple, you refuse to obey.
The doctrine, fear God and keep the Commandments. It is the whole duty of man to do so.
This is the seventh day, a day God created and sanctified making it holy. A day made for man and not man for it. It is the fourth Commandment of God Almighty written in stone by His very hand. It is a delight unto the soul to rest with the Lord and speak not ones own words. It is a delight to rest with the Lord and to be renewed for the days to come if God so wills it. Even though I desire to be with Him, I know it is far better to obey Him. To do as He asked me to do and tell of Him. Not just by words, but by my deeds. To shine the light into the darkness.
It is never to late until it is to late. Remember never give up, no matter what, never surrender to evil. This is highly encouraging and what I want to leave you all with.
Revelation 2:5, " Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent. "
This tells us that some were saved but the fell away, but if you will REPENT and do the first works, to REMEMBER THY FIRST LOVE and do those works He will not take the light from you. It is hope for all who may find themselves hopeless. Those who knew Him truly and for whatever reason have turned back. Repent while there is time, I beg and beseech, Repent.
Seek, Repent and Sin No More...
It is remission of sins past and not permission for sins future.
You lose focus but if you look closely you will see the beauty of the Truth in the details.
May grace abound in all that are in Christ Jesus Amen.
Blessed be the Name of the Lord Amen and Amen...
