Idolatry
Are you or someone you know an Idolater?
Oxford Dictionary: extreme admiration, love, or reverence for something or someone
Greek Definition: utterly idolatrous:—wholly given to idolatry; image-worship (literally or figuratively):—idolatry.
Hebrew Definition: a healer; Teraphim (singular or plural) a family idol:—idols(-atry), images, teraphim. Teraphim: idols, or household god(s)
Brothers and Sisters there are too many of you that fall into this trap, into this sin. If the above Definitions do not bring Light to this Darkness then Understand the following Scriptures…
Exodus 20:3-5 KJV
"3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness [of any thing] that [is] in heaven above, or that [is] in the earth beneath, or that [is] in the water under the earth: 5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God [am] a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth [generation] of them that hate me;"
Lets break this down to today’s Society, what is in The World that we should not do, nor participate in. in this country, the United States, people Worship, Praise, Waste Money, Have Posters, Items, Body Disfigurement and Time Given for Idolatry of a Man, Woman, Child, Item that they have placed upon a Pillar Of Sacrifice to others.
To those who call themselves of The Office Of A Pastor, who has allowed such things, I Rebuke!!! For you will be held accountable for leading the Flock Astray, allowing Idolatry to Rule over Jesus!!! Oh, you say when have we done such things? You do it in more than one way! First most of you are governed by a Board that Dictates What, When and How you can minister the Word, in such ways, you have Placed Them Upon A Pillar Of Authority, having Jesus, if at all, secondary!!! Bowing yourself down to Their Authority instead of God’s Authority!
In another area dealing with these Pastors, two things are of an Idolatry Base, let the people who enter in to a church, get out Their Watches, for your time here is of a Sacrifice to you. The Message, if it were from Jesus, can only last 20 - 30 Minutes, if any longer they, both the Board and the People would rise against such a thing.
Also to those who call themselves Pastors, who allow Ministry to take a back seat when it comes to Sports. If there is a Game that intrudes the Time Allotted At church, then the Game would have precedence. Stop any message before the Work of The Holy Spirit might be done or even worst you are part of the crowd and make sure your message is just right so that you may also attend , watch such things!
Our Lord Jesus would Minister for hours and days before being done, to make sure that the Word of His Father was to some understanding for the people to grasp!
Matthew 15:32 KJV
“Then Jesus called his disciples [unto him], and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way."
Enough with you so called Pastors who lead the sheep astray into Idolatry!!!
Matthew 15:14 KJV
“Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch."
Now to the Brothers and Sisters not within an Office, chosen by Jesus, in one of the five, Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor and Teacher, for you say, “Where have we committed Idolatry?”. Some of you have placed your Wife, Husband and Children upon Pillars Of Praise and Admiration in whatever activity THEY Pursue! This goes beyond telling them they did a good job or have done well. You on one hand Worship Them and Their Abilities, then on the other hand put them Above All Things. Now, before anyone goes the wrong direction here, or misuses Scripture, this is not dealing with a Marriage of a Man and Woman, but let not the Scriptures they stand on be corrupt! In the case of Idolatry that I am speaking of, is that you would do anything Against Jesus to make sure they will meet Your Admiration For Them, Your Worship Of Them, Your Commitment To Them in Ungodly Ways, that brings No Praise or Honor to Jesus!!!
Galatians 1:10 KJV
“For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ."
There was a point in my own life that I was forced to a degree to Honor my children above doing what I knew was right before Jesus, it was a big battle within my house, as there were four against one. I finally set my foot down and said no more, by doing so some of my children did not receive awards from School Activities and have hated me because of this.
Do you know the Work Of Satan in your Schools? The Schools on purpose schedule Games, Activities on Sunday and during the same time you would attend church, whether it be local or an out of town event. By you giving into such things, you put Your Child above Jesus or even if the parents are coaches the same applies, Jesus is Not First In Your Life!
Moving on to all of the Brothers and Sisters in Jesus, The Christ, how many of you buy memorabilia of a Singer, Football, Basketball, Soccer or whatever sports figure or event figure, in doing so you just Idolized Them in two ways. One you have Purchased a Graven Image Of Adoration , two by doing so you have placed them upon a Pillar not only to yourselves and to those whom you made the Purchase For, not only to the Person but to their Event Promoters.
How many of you have Autographs? In doing, you have committed Idolatry, we are not to Seek Another’s Glory, but only the Glory Of Jesus, Our Savior and Lord!!
How many of you have Purchased Tickets to an Event of an ungodly amount? Let there be a Big Name and the Cost Of Idolatry can be very expensive. Some of you use the Excuse, “…It will only happen Once In My Life Time…”, this is Idolatry! It would not matter if The World was doing such things, because we are not to be a part of The World in their doings, but this is happening within the Body Of Christ on every level, in every church!!!
To remind you…
Exodus 20:3-5 KJV
"3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness [of any thing] that [is] in heaven above, or that [is] in the earth beneath, or that [is] in the water under the earth: 5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God [am] a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth [generation] of them that hate me;"
How many of you, Brothers and Sisters place a High Value on Things? Such as Cars, Boats, Homes and list goes on. These are Just things that can be replaced, they have No Eternal Value! But yet you will labor in making sure that other’s know you have such things of Your Glory or you will labor at making sure that it is Placed Upon A Pillar Of Great Importance, above Jesus and others. Do not get me wrong, we are to take care of the Gifts that Jesus gives us, not to take them for granted who has given them to you, but there is a point of take good care of an Item and allowing that Item to Control You By Caring For It, so that it is Not Used as it was designed for in many ways.
Everything under the Sun, on or off Planet Earth can be Idolized, can be put Above Jesus, His Word and The Holy Spirit. Everyone has The Opportunity to Fall into this Trap Of Disobedience!
I have items that are old, that hold memories, but they are just items to be used to Glorify Jesus. If they get lost, stolen, broken My World will not collapse because of, I would buy another or recreate another for the same use.
Brothers and Sisters we must be on our greatest watch of what we hold dear to us and the question must be asked within ourselves, is there a Person, Place, Thing Above Jesus, would you put this Person, Place, Thing above Obedience To Jesus. Too many of you think that Idolatry is some Big Sin, in which it is, but you have made it a lie to yourselves so that you may continue. You Use the following Scriptures to Justify your sin because you have placed Idolatry to far up the ladder of sin…
Galatians 5:19-21 KJV
"19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are [these]; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told [you] in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God."
Colossians 3:5-7 KJV
"5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: 6 For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: 7 In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them."
We, Brothers and Sisters, are not to put anything with an Emotional Value Above God’s Word, no matter how small or how large it may be. There was a question at one time that Jesus asked me, He said if you were to lose everything would I still be Lord?, this was a message I had to deliver in Church once, because many were involved in Idolatry that they did Not Understand. Jesus was asking if everything that we Hold Dear, Have An Emotional Attachment To, were taken away, would you still Serve Jesus As Lord Over Your Life? It is a question that needs to be asked, is there anything in my Life that I Idolize that takes The Place Of Jesus and His Word? The List can be from A to Z, Big or Small, Alive or Dead, Any Object or Event, we are to be Detached from such things, that Jesus can use us as Vessels Of Honor To His Glory.
Psalm 26:2 KJV
“Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart."
1 Corinthians 11:28 KJV
“But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of [that] bread, and drink of [that] cup."
2 Corinthians 13:5 KJV
“Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?"
Amen and Amen!!!

Greetings in The Mighty Name of Jesus, The Christ!!!
The Endurance Of Knowing Jesus
We, Brothers and Sisters, are to Endure until the End Of The Gentile Age until Jesus Comes for His Bride!
Endure: suffer (something painful or difficult) patiently; remain in existence; last.
Matthew 24:13 KJV
“But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved."
It is Jesus who Strengthens us, giving us Wisdom and Knowledge to Endure this Life we now Live In. It is through The Holy Spirit that resides in us through our entire Walk that Speaks to us, Guides us in the Ways of Our Lord Jesus. But let us not be fools! There are times during our Walk that we might fall, we might step off the Path that Jesus wants us to Walk. Through such times it may seem, again, it may Seem, that we are alone, that darkness has engulfed us, that there may be No Answer or Solutions to our situations that we are in. But these are the moments that We Must Draw closer to Jesus to be able to Endure through whatever we are going through in Our Lives.
It is through the Relationship With Jesus and through Knowing Him as Savior and Lord over Our Lives that we can Run to Jesus, holding on to Him even in silence, that gives us the Ability To Endure. Why? It is because We Know Him and What He has done in our past times, the Proof that Jesus is Lord over every situation that we may face.
Some, even I’ve questioned the Why Must I Go Through something…, but it is in these times that Jesus is Working, Changing, Enabling you to bring Him Glory in your situation and bring us into a Closer Walk With Him.
So many times we may find ourselves like Peter whom seen Jesus walking on the sea, then asking Jesus if he could come to Him upon the waters. Finding that once he stepped out In Faith, began to become afraid because of His Surroundings and What He Was Enduring and it was at that point that when he began to Go Under, that he Cried unto Jesus to Save him and Jesus did, but it was at the Last Second. Peter had to Endure for a moment the Over Taking Of His Walk to be Saved By Jesus, to Build Trust!
Matthew 14:24-32 KJV
"24 But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary. 25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea. 26 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear. 27 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid. 28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. 29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. 30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. 31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth [his] hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? 32 And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased."
Our Endurance is by Faith As We Walk In Obedience to Jesus as Savior and Lord over every situation that occurs no matter how small or how great it may seem at the time of our Tribulation. Jesus is always there, knowing what you are going through, but the question still may exist within us….Why? it is during these times that we may question Our Faith, Our Walk, Our Beliefs and it also during these times that Satan throws Doubt in all that we may think we know.
Our Brother Paul said that we have a Shield Of Faith that enables us, to Protect Us against such thoughts of Doubt…
Ephesians 6:16 KJV
“Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked."
We must know that this Time Of Doubt can Change us from Walking With Jesus or Against Jesus. If we Endure such things, it is when Jesus, no matter what, is still Savior and Lord even unto death. But it is when we Doubt that Jesus cannot be Savior and Lord over our situation that the Enemy Thrives on and if you listen to Satan, you will lose in the end. Jesus cannot make us Walk With Him, but does Demand It in order to be His Disciple, His Bride, His Servant. It’s 100% Our Choice HOW We Walk!
Jesus told a parable of the Seed Sower, three of the seeds failed to Endure and in those three seeds where three different causes for failure, The Grace Of Jesus Was Stolen, The Lack Of Solid Belief Was Cast Away, The Conflict Of The World Choked Out The Evidence Of Jesus. In all, it is still By Our Choice.
Matthew 13:3-9 KJV
"3 And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow; 4 And when he sowed, some [seeds] fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up: 5 Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth: 6 And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away. 7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them: 8 But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold. 9 Who hath ears to hear, let him hear."
The Fourth Seed, which Grew, that is, it was Not Instant, but a Process Of Growth, having a Relationship with Jesus in Knowing He IS Savior and Lord over Their Lives in All Situations that they may encounter. Our Endurance is based upon do you Really Know Jesus? There is a big difference of Knowing About Jesus and Knowing Jesus. Jesus said that in the Last Days, there would be many that will call Him Lord, that will even say they have Done Mighty Works in His Name and Jesus will say to them that He DOES NOT KNOW THEM and cast them into the Lake Of Fire for Eternity. In that same statement Jesus said it is ONLY THOSE WHO DO HIS FATHERS WILL that will be Saved.
Matthew 7:21 KJV
“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven."
Doing The Fathers Will builds Trust, builds Faith, builds a Relationship that enables us to Endure those things that come into Our Lives that are not easy, being difficult and hard, but we Must do it Through Jesus and Him alone.
Being able to Endure also means giving up One’s Own Will, letting go and Trust Jesus that He Is IN Control of our destiny. Jesus had to Endure hardships in His Life to Prove The Fathers Will, to Do The Fathers will, Jesus had to Give Up His Will…
Luke 22:42 KJV
“Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done."
Some of the reasons we Fail, we do not Endure is because of a Lack Of Faith, a Lack Of Understanding, a Lack Of Immediate Answers To Our Situations, but it is the Letting Go Of Ourselves that brings Answers, brings Glory to Jesus!!! We find this that Our Lord Jesus Endured because He Loves The Father more than Life, we Must do the same!!
Hebrews 12:2 KJV
“Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of [our] faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God."
We do not always Understand “The Why”, but we do Must Understand that Jesus has a Reason, has a Purpose for what we go through and it may not even be for you, but for someone else’s sake that You Endure. Our Brother James spoke of how easy it is to lose focus of Who We Are, What Jesus Has Done On Our Behalf and even the Darkness That May Linger Within Ourselves.
James 1:23-25 KJV
"23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth [therein], he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed."
As times are getting harder to Live in this World as a Child Of God, being bombarded from every direction from the Enemy, from Satan and those who deny Jesus, we Must Endure. We do so by keeping the Faith that we started with, remembering those situation that Jesus has already delivered us from and may continue to do so as we Walk, even if we do not Understand or See what lies before us.
Hebrews 11:6 KJV
“But without faith [it is] impossible to please [him]: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and [that] he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him."
To Endure whatever situation that we are in, we Must have Faith that Jesus has The Answer, at the Right Time, Right Place and for THE Right Reason. We must also remember that we are Not Alone in our situations, that Jesus Knows and He Loves You and Care’s for You, but must also Understand that we have other Brothers and Sisters that are in The World that are Enduring Like Things or even worse.
1 Peter 5:9 KJV
“Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world."
Knowing Jesus
Brings Endurance!
Amen and Amen!!!

The Black Hole Of Deception
Brothers and Sisters in the Society that we now live in this Black Hole Of Deception is growing in leaps and bounds and many have fallen because of it. The World I believe is starting to enter its final stage before the Return Of Jesus Our Savior and Lord. For the Scriptures tells us that it will be as it was in the Days of Noah before Jesus Returns.
Matthew 24:36-41 KJV
"36 But of that day and hour knoweth no [man], no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. 37 But as the days of Noe [were], so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, 39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 41 Two [women shall be] grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left."
I believe the time is getting close, but yet it can still be a hundred years or more away. There are still things that need to happen, need to be done before Our Lord Jesus returns. In any case, we need to keep Diligent in Our Walk, for many of the Brothers and Sisters have all ready fallen in this Black Hole Of Deception.
We need to Understand that the Black Hole Of Deception did not happen overnight, but Satan has been at work non-stop since he was cast out of Heaven to Destroy anything that deals with God The Father, even the works of His Son Jesus and that of the Holy Spirit has Satan tried to Kill, Steel and Destroy.
1 Peter 5:8-9 KJV
"8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world."
John 10:10 KJV
“The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have [it] more abundantly."
There are too many of you who are being Persuaded to go One Direction or Another, both have Scriptures Used, both Claim Jesus As Lord, both Walk In A Truth, but there is ONLY One that is correct. I am not talking about The Church and the World, no this is within the Body Of Christ that I am talking about. There is the one side that Uses Scripture, Manipulates Scripture to get you to Follow Them into the Black Hole Of Deception, while the other Leads to The Truth.
The Problem with this Black Hole Of Deception is that it Sounds Good, it does Good Things, it brings in Lots Of People, it Looks Good…to The World. The Church, that is The Blood Bought, will be the Enemy Of The World, Inside and Out.
John 15:18-19 KJV
"18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before [it hated] you. 19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you."
Satan has Used the following Scriptures, as well as others, to Create this Black Hole Of Deception…
John 3:16 KJV
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
Matthew 22:38-40 KJV
"38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second [is] like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets."
Matthew 5:42-48 KJV
"42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away. 43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. 44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; 45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? 47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more [than others]? do not even the publicans so? 48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect."
John 13:35 KJV
“By this shall all [men] know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another."
Romans 10:9-11 KJV
"9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed."
The above Scriptures are True, but can be Used to take The Truth into a Direction Of Lies, into a Black Hold Of Deception … and more of such Scriptures has been used in this Black Hole Of Deception…
All of these above Scriptures are True and Commanded of Our Lord Jesus, but here in is the Deception where Satan will use these same Scriptures to His Glory. Satan know God better than any of us, he knows the Scriptures better than most of you and Satan knows how to Manipulate the Scriptures to take Jesus Truth and turn it into a Lie.
When Jesus was tempted by Satan in the wilderness for forty days and nights, the Temptations were of both the Flesh and the Spirit, using The Word of God The Father in a Manipulated Fashion to try and trick Jesus into this Black Hole Of Deception.
Satan uses the very Word Of God to Manipulate YOU into his Black Hole. Let me give you an Example…
Satan would convince The Church the following things, “Was Jesus the Son Of God, did He NOT SAY to LOVE YOUR NEIGHBORS and DO GOOD To them and For them, is NOT the place where you WORSHIP a place to bring in ALL KINDS of people in, to ACCEPT THEM AS THEY ARE. Are NOT The Apostles ALL DEAD and GONE, as well as THE PROPHETS OF OLD leaving the PASTOR AS THE HEAD, being ORDERED BY a group of people, VOTED ON by THE PEOPLE OF DISSATISFACTION”. These are the things that Satan would say, convince others to Believe, to Manipulate Scripture to a Different Obedience other than to Jesus!
The above SOUNDS CORRECT, but if you put back in What Jesus has Commanded, you soon see the above as a Lie, a Manipulation Of Jesus Word to get you to Sin, to Walk In Darkness. Satan on purpose in his Campaign twists the very Word Of God to get you to go his direction to bring an Accusation against Jesus and You to The Father.
As I have used this illustration many times before, if you take the Original and make a Copy, then take THE Copy and make another Copy and continue to do this a number of times, then the Original becomes Blurred in some areas and even some of The Original will Disappear leaving YOU or SATAN to fill in the Blurred or Missing Original Words and in many cases turning The Truth into a Lie!!! Satan has been at this for thousands of years, patiently chipping away The Truth and Replacing it with a Lie.
John 10:10 KJV
“The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have [it] more abundantly."
The first part of this Scripture tells the Storyline of What Satan is doing and has done, that he, Satan, is a Thief, to Steal those away from Jesus, to Kill those who Truly Believe and will not move and to Destroy any Works that Jesus has done in Your Life. Satan has Created a Black Hole Of Deception that not only leads you in the Wrong Way, but also Creates Division Among God’s People, getting you to rise up against each other, bringing shame to Jesus!!!
In the above I said that these things are what Satan would say to Convince The Church to go a Wrong Direction, if you add in the following Scriptures you can begin to formulate the Lies of Satan against The Truth, but still Using The Truth, that is, Using the Same Scriptures we have to read.
Matthew 7:21 KJV
“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven."
Satan makes sure that No One reads these Scriptures, because there are many who Believe Once Saved Always Saved, that You cannot lose Your Salvation, that ANYONE who CONFESSES Jesus AS LORD WILL BE SAVED, but clearly the above Scripture says that just because you Accept The NAME of Jesus does not make you Saved, but only those who DO THE FATHERS WILL on Earth will be Saved!!! But Satan would tell you otherwise!
James 4:4 KJV
“Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God."
Too many of you have taken “LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR” to the point that Sin does not matter, that Jesus will ACCEPTED YOU JUST AS YOU ARE, THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE TO CHANGE and making The Blood of Jesus to No Prevail!!! Too many of you Think that it is Not Your Job to bring people into Salvation and have Dumped it on those within a building, The Board, The Pastor and Their Leaders to do such things. Didn’t Jesus say that ALL OF US ARE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD, that through us the World may know that we Serve a Living God who is Holy?
Matthew 5:14-16 KJV
"14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."
Jesus did not say to be Friends with the World, nor Marry the World in Disbelief, but that through Our Lives we might Convince the World Whom Jesus IS!!! We are not to Cower, to Hide, to be Silent but to be Bold In Our Faith BY OUR OBEDIENCE TO JESUS THROUGH LIVING HIS WORD THOUGHOUT OUR LIVES IN EVERY ASPECT!!!
Too many of you go to a church, to Gossip, to give Lip Service, to make a Presence that Others May See, but consider this…
Isaiah 29:13 KJV
“Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near [me] with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:"
Matthew 15:8 KJV
“This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with [their] lips; but their heart is far from me."
Did not Jesus Appoint HIS OFFICE with the following: Apostle, Prophet, Pastor, Evangelist and Teacher, that in these Offices we should Walk In Jesus Truth, The Fathers Ways? But it has been Men who have turned this into a Lie, through Satan to Remove Three of this Offices, The Apostle who makes sure the Word Is Correct, the Prophet who give Direction to The Church, to Walk Correctly and The Evangelist who was to Bring The Message Of Salvation to The World.
Ephesians 4:10-16 KJV
"10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.) 11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: 14 That we [henceforth] be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, [and] cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, [even] Christ: 16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love."
Nowhere does it say there were only Twelve Apostles, nowhere does it say that Prophets would not be needed, nowhere does it say that The Evangelist is not needed any longer, but Man and Satan has!!! Do You Not Understand that the reason these Offices have been gotten rid of was because they would Stand Against Satan and his ways, that they would make sure that The Word was to be Taught and Lived correctly!! Do YOU Not Understand that Satan has manipulated the Office of a Pastor, that he must take Orders from a Board that ELECTED HIM and through this same board also sets The Rules for a Teacher, making sure that they Only Teach what the Board Approves…NOT JESUS!!!
We, Brothers and Sisters, need to Weigh All Things against Scripture, a True Translation from the Original Word. We cannot take one or a small group of Scriptures and say “See, it’s in the Bible…”, but must take the Entire Word Of God into Account for Our Words and Actions. Any part of God’s Word can be taken out of context, can be manipulated to our own meaning, our own understanding that Satan wants us to have. This Black Hole Of Deception is deep and wide and accounts for All Of The Issues In The World and the biggest IN THE CHURCH. Examine yourselves against the Word, not Man, nor what is presented by Satan as good and acceptable by the World. We have been Bought and Paid for by Jesus, not Man, not Family, not Friends, not a Denomination, not by Satan, but by Jesus Only!!! Isn’t it past time that you start Living It!
Amen and Amen!!!
