Holy Week, Day 2

Confess Your Sins To God

The Lord wanted to shower the Israelites with blessings. But they often found themselves living in disobedience to God. Because of their consistent disobedience, God would punish them. Does God still punish and bless His people today? Click on the link below to read about it. #BibleStudy #Devotions #Easter #Leviticus

Why is resurrection Sunday significant to the Christian faith?

Whether it is called Easter or Resurrection Sunday is not as important as the event and purpose of the resurrection. However, the timing of the crucifixion and resurrection is significantly meaningful. The resurrection of Jesus is the culmination of all things meaningful, faith, and fact, in establishing a relationship with God.

God used the timing, which occurred just after "Passover" and during the Feast of Unleavened Bread, to illustrate the ultimate sacrifice He made for sinners. Without this sacrifice, Christianity would be an empty religion. Every purpose of Jesus Christ, His atonement for sin, would be unfulfilled and the foundation of Christianity would fall apart.

The Passover commemorates God's "passing over" the Hebrew's homes by the angel of death (Exodus 12:29). By accepting Jesus, we are promised eternal life and we are saved from spiritual death. The Feast of Unleavened Bread (verse 15) begins with unleavened bread (made without yeast) and sacrificing an unblemished, sacrificial lamb. Leavening represents the escape from bondage and sin. Jesus is called the Lamb of God through whom the only escape is possible.

Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection are God's provision for the perfect and final sacrifice for man's sins. God requires no other payment for sins! With this provision, mankind is granted an opportunity for new life through the forgiveness of sin and escape from its bondage. It is ours for the mere acceptance of this gift.

This is the key event in the New Testament where it is proclaimed throughout. All four Gospels report the miraculous event. In Matthew 28:6 the angel declared "He is not here: for he is risen!" Mark 16:6 reports "'Don't be alarmed,' [the angel] said. 'You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him.'"

In Luke 24:46-48, the risen Jesus gave His disciples a greater understanding of the resurrection when He told them: "This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things." Jesus foretells of His resurrection in John 16; then to one of the doubting witnesses, Thomas, He says the following in John 20:29: "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."

While Jesus was admired and praised as a teacher, healer, and for performing miracles, He was put to death on the cross. But God raised Him from the dead. Had the witnesses not believed what they saw, Christianity would not have spread across the globe and remained a profound belief to this day.

Greetings in The Mighty Name of Jesus, The Christ!!!

Discipline Verses None-Discipline

 Brothers and Sisters where is the Discipline of those who Walk In Disobedience? Where are those who Stand In Truth to bear The Sword Of Righteousness? Where are The Standards Of God? But I tell you, they have all fallen to the way side, accepting The Manipulation Of Change!

If Discipline is taken away, which it has been, then you have become Disobedient Children, Walking in Your Own Affairs and Not The Affairs Of Jesus, Our Lord and Savior. Too many have Surrendered the Ways Of Jesus to The Ways Of THE World, to be Acceptable By The World!!!

Proverbs 23:13-14 KJV

"¹³ Withhold not correction from the child: for [if] thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die. ¹⁴ Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell."

 Have we not become The Children Of Righteousness through The Blood Of Jesus, but here we are Children Of Darkness having no Godliness! Too many Accept the sinner, the heathen with open arms, sing in one’s self the song “Just As I Am”. Even as Our Lord Jesus Rebuked the Pharisees because they were only doing part of the Law in which The Father had told them, but not doing the most important part of the Law.

Matthew 23:23 KJV

“Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier [matters] of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone."

The Church has paid its Tithe, has Mercy, has little Faith, but the part that The Church has not, is Judgment! In today’s Church you have allowed Love to Over Write Jesus Word, His Commandments! Do you not understand that we, The Church, will be Judged By The Word, yet you have decided that Love has No Judgment!! Even has Our Lord Jesus has said, You Hypocrites!!!

Understand this when it comes to Judgment, it is going to happen rather you like it or not and Jesus is Our Judge in All Things, small and great!!!

If I know of a Brother or Sister that is Walking in Sin and I ignore it, saying nothing, do you not understand that I am now guilty of that sin by Acceptance Of Another! But yet the Scriptures tell us how to handle such things, but it Requires You To Judge.

Matthew 18:15-17 KJV

"¹⁵ Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. ¹⁶ But if he will not hear [thee, then] take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. ¹⁷ And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell [it] unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican."

I guess everyone needs to get out their big eraser and remove the previous verses from Your Bible, because they do not apply to You. Before anyone goes there, the Offence is in The Ways Of The Word that is being Walk by another Brother or Sister, they are Walking in Disobedience To The Word.

So, to make it clear, if a Brother or Sister will Not Hear The Church, meaning, they will Not Repent from Walking In Disobedience, then they are to be counted as a Heathen and To Be Detested, also meaning to have Nothing to do with them. But The church (denominations), do nothing but Accept, saying we need to Love Them Into Obedience. Excuse me, where in God’s Holy Word does it say that? The Father Loves the World, that is, Mankind, so much that He gave His Son Jesus to be Our Sacrifice for Sin and yet here we are Accepting Sin In Love!!! Something is wrong with this picture, this would make The Godhead (Father, Jesus, Holy Spirit) a Lunatic, filled with Heresy! God The Father will not Accept Sin and if Jesus is Equal to His Father, then He will not Accept Sin and if we being bought with a price by The Blood Of Jesus, Our Lord and Savior, how can we Accept Sin in any other way then what The Godhead Accepts?

Many say we are to Love the person but Hate their Sin, okay, but then where is the Judgment Of Separation From Sin? It is in this matter The Church has fallen. We are to Show Jesus Love to the World in all things, but we are Not to Accept Their Sin in any way or fashion…but You Have!! The Church has Accepted Sin within and among the congregation so much that The World calls us Hypocrites, wanting nothing to do with us and how much more will Jesus call us Hypocrites!!!

The Church today is nothing more than a Social Gathering Of Same Likeness.

2 Timothy 4:3 KJV

“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;"

2 Corinthians 10:12 KJV

“For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise."

In my 40 plus years walking with Jesus have I yet to see a denomination be The Church, keeping The Word. It seems as though all Tenacity, all Righteousness has fallen to the way side. I hear in The Spirit of The Lord this cry…

Luke 6:46-49 KJV

"⁴⁶ And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? ⁴⁷ Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like: ⁴⁸ He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock. ⁴⁹ But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great."

Jesus cries out for His Church to be as the Wise Man, doing as He has said to do, to build a House worthy of Our Lord Jesus, but you have chosen to be the Unwise Man building a House Unworthy Of Jesus to call His Own. In my 40 plus years I have seen people come and go from all denominations across the world and in every case it is because we are Hypocrites. We say we Love Jesus, but follow not what He has said, nor do as His Word says, The Church will have a lot to answer for. How many Lives have been lost to the will of Satan all because we are not a Church that Walks in Obedience, but rather a church that Walks How Ever It Pleases.

Do you Love Jesus enough to Stand Up against Sin, rather it is a stranger, friend or family member knowing that if they do not Repent and start walking as Jesus says they will no longer be in your company. Jesus said that Our Enemies will be even within our homes and that we must Endure To Walk In Obedience until the end, until His Return.

Matthew 10:34-39 KJV

"³⁴ Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. ³⁵ For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. ³⁶ And a man's foes [shall be] they of his own household. ³⁷ He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. ³⁸ And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. ³⁹ He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it."

Matthew 24:13 KJV

“But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved."

Too many of you think that Peace is here, you Pray for Peace, you Seek Peace, but I tell you now that those who Walk In Obedience there is No Peace, except from within.

It is pretty simple, ask this of yourselves, do I have the Discipline to Walk With Jesus or do I need to be Disciplined for Not Walking With Jesus. We all have a double scale in our Lives, we have the Word Of God (unchanged), and the Holy Spirit who is to Teach us how to Live. The Word and Holy Spirit are One and we are to be One with them, making us One With Jesus. So then look at Your Life compare it to The Word and the Holy Spirit will Confirm Your Walk, rather it is in Obedience or Disobedience then Accept, Repent if you must, then Walk as Jesus has commanded. Finding the Answer is easy, but Accepting and Walking will be hard, but you are not alone.

Psalm 139:23 KJV

“Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:"

Psalm 26:2 KJV

“Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart."

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?"

If whoever Walks In Sin, do not Accept Them, but tell them about Their Sin, giving them a chance to Repent or Accept Jesus as Savior, then Lord. It they do not do either, having nothing to do with them, but treat them as a Lost Heathen that needs Jesus truly in their Lives.

I will not sugar coat this, it will not be easy to Walk In Obedience. I have been black balled in most churches, I have lost family members, not in death, but in Life, I am hated by the World and yet through The Power of The Holy Spirit and The Word Of Jesus I am able to endure, but not easily. There is suffering, turmoil, torment and pain, is it fun, by no means is it. Is it worth it, by all things in Jesus it is.

The House of God has fallen

Repent

Amen and Amen!!!

Greetings in The Mighty Name of Jesus, The Christ!!!

What I Believe

 This message is not What I Believe as my own personal, for mine are whatever the Bible speaks of, but for many of you What You Believe is altogether a different story. When you Witness to someone the question must arise, is it what Scripture says or is it based on what a Denomination has lead you to Believe?

 In my Walk with Jesus I have sit in many different Denominations, some for a one time service, others many services, but in all of them The Holy Spirit was teaching me to Discern not only The Spirit of the place, but also The Word of the place. There are too many of you that really do not understand the following Scriptures…

Hebrews 13:8 KJV

“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.”

John 5:19 KJV

“Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.”

In these two Scriptures we find What We Should Believe, that is, The Foundation to Our Belief. Understand this, if you want to know How The Father Thinks and Acts, His Will, then read the Old Testament. If you want to know How Jesus Thinks and Acts, His Will then read the New Testament and what you will find is they are One In The Same.

When Jesus took on as the Sacrificial Lamb we Must Understand that Jesus did not Change The Fathers Will or Desires that The Father has for His Children. What this means is the Only Change was in The Sacrifice For Sin. Jesus said that He did not come to Change The Law, but to Fulfill The Law, that is, The Laws that dealt with Sin.

 Matthew 5:17-20 KJV

“¹⁷ Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. ¹⁸ For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. ¹⁹ Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach [them], the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. ²⁰ For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed [the righteousness] of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.”

 Many miss the point in these Scriptures. Jesus said I have not come to Change or Destroy the Law Of My Father, but through Me, the Law Of Sin I Am The Sacrifice For Your Sin, but the part that many miss is The Laws Of The Fathers Will. Jesus said until Heaven and Earth Pass, let me say that again, UNTIL Heaven and Earth Pass not One Thing Of The Fathers Will, will change. If no one told you yet…Heaven and Earth are still here! Most think that All Of The Laws that Govern The Fathers Will have been Fulfilled when Jesus Died and Rose again, but your Understanding is void of The Truth.

 In the above Scripture, in John 5:19, Jesus, Our Lord and Savior said that He ONLY, ONLY, ONLY did what The Father Does and NOTHING of His Own FREE Will! Jesus could have changed everything to His Own Free Will!

Luke 22:42 KJV

“Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.”

Matthew 26:50-54 KJV

"⁵⁰ And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him. ⁵¹ And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out [his] hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest's, and smote off his ear. ⁵² Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword. ⁵³  Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels? ⁵⁴ But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?"

So now, get this, Jesus Did, Jesus Said everything even as The Father in Heaven…HAS SAID. Meaning this, that Jesus, Our Lord and Savior, came in the flesh to Walk as His Father Is, which means, even though Jesus is The Son of The Father, He still had to deal with The Flesh, being Tempted By The Flesh just as we are… Jesus became Equal To Man In our Walk On Earth… still doing The Fathers Will.

John 10:30 KJV

“I and [my] Father are one.”

So then, What I Believe, MUST be also What Jesus and The Father Believe…IN ALL THINGS and The Holy Spirit is to Teach us How To Do That!!! To take this to the most simplest point of Salvation, many believe that in order to be Saved that you Must be Baptized…WRONG! Baptism is an Outward Sign to those around you to an Inward Change, it does not Save you, only, Only, ONLY The Blood Of Jesus can save us. Too many of you have confessed Jesus and have been Baptized but there has not really been a Transformation.  In order for you to be Saved by Jesus, there Must be a True, Whole Hearted Belief in Jesus As Savior and then Lord. We have this example with the Two Thieves.

Luke 23:33, 39-43 KJV

"³³ And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left. ... ³⁹ And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us. ⁴⁰ But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? ⁴¹ And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. ⁴² And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. ⁴³ And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise."

 The one Thief was Saved because of His Whole Hearted Belief In Jesus as Savior and he was Not Baptized. Too many of you take the Word and divided among yourselves believing what you want it to say, basing your Walk and Talk by a Manipulation of Scriptures. If that was not good enough, you have taken away certain Scriptures, saying that was then, but this is now! Furthermore some of you have taken other forms of doctrine believing they are Equal to The Word Of God, not Challenging what is in the False Doctrine but Believing.

 Too many of you Believe that Your Walk and Talk does not matter, to You it does not, but to Jesus, whom is Our Judge it matters in All Areas of Your Walk!!!

Matthew 12:36 KJV

"But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment."

1 Corinthians 3:10-15 KJV

"¹⁰ According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. ¹¹ For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. ¹² Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; ¹³ Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. ¹⁴ If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. ¹⁵ If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire."

 We Must become the Living Word Of God to those who are in The World, that are Testimonies are not one of Heresy, but let us Speak and Walk even as Jesus has commanded for us to do so. For my Testimony should be the same no matter where I go or whom I speak to as another Brother or Sister who is Saved by Grace, Washed in The Blood Of Jesus for the Remission of Sins!!! If the Scripture says, then do and speak, if it does not, then remove yourself from such things or false doctrine of men.

I know The Lord continues to speak on this area and even in another, such as Men and Women are not Equal but only in Salvation, but our Walks are Parallel but in an Order that The Father has commanded. When the Father said that Homosexuals are an Abomination then they are so. If The Father set Man as Head then he is and let it be so.

Too many of you in this day and time try to Justify Your Actions and have convinced many to follow thereafter, but by Who’s Word will you be Judged? If My Belief is not Equal to Jesus Belief then I have a problem! For it is only By and Through Jesus we should be Living By!!

Brothers and Sister we cannot continue to fight amongst ourselves, for by doing so we have become the Servants Of Satan’s Will, for he is out to Destroy, Kill and Steal away anything that deals with The Father. Satan does not care How or by What Means to accomplish this, but since the day that Jesus Rose from the grave, Satan has been hard at work to Destroy Jesus and The Father’s Work.

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."

It is past time that we step back in time, to erase the chalk boards, the white boards, the social media and false doctrine, to back to the Scrolls. For those who think they have an answer that goes against The Word, their time is coming that Our Lord Jesus will Rebuke such and cast them away into the Lake Of Fire! The following Scripture will be Our Judgment…

Ephesians 4:4-6 KJV

"⁴ [There is] one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; ⁵ One Lord, one faith, one baptism, ⁶ One God and Father of all, who [is] above all, and through all, and in you all."

It will not be Baptist, Methodist, Catholic, Mormon, LDS, Pentecostal, Full Gospel, Nazarene and the list goes on, that will Save You, nor will it be them who are Your Judge, but it is Jesus Only and that according to The Fathers Will!!! What I Believe is the Same, Equal Standards that The Father, Jesus The Son and The Holy Spirit agree with, nothing of my own do I claim! As we have read in this message Jesus Claimed nothing of His Own, but only that in which The Father Told Him, Showed Him and Gave Him and we must be likewise in All Affairs Of Life!!!

What I Believe!!!

Amen and Amen!!!

Greetings in The Mighty Name of Jesus, The Christ!!!

We Are Not Acceptable

Brothers and Sisters Change MUST occur to be Accepted by Jesus. I will start off by saying what I have said many times before, if being Acceptable was only in a One Time Confession, then All People would be Saved by this One Scripture…

Rom 10:9 KJV

“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.”

If it where this easy, then I do not need to write any further, all I would have to do is Preach this one Scripture and as some believe, all would be good with God! But it is not that easy, there has to be more of a Change in one’s Life to be Acceptable to The Father, Jesus and The Holy Spirit.

If Salvation was so simplistic we could Confess Jesus as Savior, not Lord and Live however we desire to live, with No Fear of any consequences of our actions. This would also mean we could Believe whatever we wanted to and still enter into the Kingdom Of Heaven. If Salvation was so simplistic, we could Ignore all the writings of How We Are To Walk With God, in fact many do, we could Write Our Own Story Lines for our Lives, changing the Original into whatever we wish to believe, turning The Truth into a Lie!

We find the parable of the Ten Virgins as one of the proofs that We Are Not Acceptable according to Our Will, Our Desire, Our Understanding, but that there has to be a Deeper Change.

Mat 25:1-13 KJV

“¹ Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. ² And five of them were wise, and five [were] foolish. ³ They that [were] foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: ⁴ But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. ⁵ While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. ⁶ And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. ⁷ Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. ⁸ And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. ⁹ But the wise answered, saying, [Not so]; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. ¹⁰ And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. ¹¹ Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. ¹² But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. ¹³ Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.”

If would seem that all of the Virgins were equal, but they are not. Jesus divided them into Two Groups, the Haves and the Haves Not, but what is this that Divides them? Some would say, “Well it is the Oil of course…”. What is The Oil that made it so important that Jesus did not accept the five virgins even when they came back with Oil in their lamps?

2Co 5:17 KJV

“Therefore if any man [be] in Christ, [he is] a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

So many people take this Scripture to mean that Jesus covered everything and everything is all good now, but this is Not what this Scripture is saying. There are Steps in Salvation and the First Step is the Most Critical to everything that proceeds. First we Must Truly Believe that Jesus is The Son Of God, that Jesus Died For My Sin.

The Scripture above is a Progression Scripture, it is a Time Changing Scripture that needs to be Understood in meaning. The First clue in this Scripture is, “In Christ”, this is the Salvation Part. The Second clue in this Scripture is, “he is a New Creature: Old things are passed away”, this is the Old Understanding of How To Live. The Third clue is, Behold, All Things BECOME…BECOME…BECOME New, this is How We Are To Live and Be Acceptable to Jesus.

So it goes like this, First Jesus Saves Me, Second the way I used to Look at Life is Passed Away and Third I need to Change Into The New Life that Jesus has presented. It is Not a Instant thing but a Progression Of Life In Jesus. There has to be a Transformation for Fleshly Life Style to a Godly Life Style. Now, for those who say, “What about those who Accept Jesus on their Death Beds?”, I cannot judge things that are in Jesus hands, but will say this one thing, at the time, if Salvation was True, then for them there was no time to Change How They Walked In Future Events Of Life, but Salvation will suffice! To those of us who are yet still alive, we Must Live the rest of Our Lives doing things God’s Way, because we are still alive.

Jesus said that you cannot put New Wine into Old Vessels else they will burst, it is because of the Relationship of the New Wine that is full of Expanding Life that the Old Vessel could not contain the Pressure. In that, New Wine has to go into a New Vessel to be Contained In Its Newness.

Mat 9:17 KJV

“Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.”

 As I have said we Must be Transformed into the Likeness of God, it does not happen overnight, but must be ongoing events in one’s Life. It also must be of one’s Choice to Change into the Proper Vessel Acceptable Of Jesus. This takes Building a Relationship With Jesus, this is The Oil.

Rom 12:1-2 KJV

“¹ I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, [which is] your reasonable service. ² And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”

We Must look at everything through God’s Eyes and not our own eyes of Understanding. The Father said that Our Ways are Not His Ways of doing things.

Isa 55:9 KJV

“For [as] the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.”

Without a Relationship With Jesus, we will Not Be Acceptable. This Relationship is The Desire to Live as God Lives, doing His Will in all things, Walking as He Walks in all things, this is The Oil. You cannot just run out and buy this Oil, but it is a Oil that is Processed In Your Walk, using the Right Ways to Formulate Our Walk. It is God’s Formula that He is the only one that holds the Patent On and the Process is Locked Tight In Him.

Man has tried to Walk as Scripture says without Salvation and has failed, Man has tried to Walk having Salvation without Walking God’s Way and has failed, Man has tried to Re-Write God’s Will and has failed!!! There is only One Way and that is God’s Way!!!

Brothers and Sisters some of you who teach how to Walk With Jesus, need to be re-taught with the Milk Of The Word, because the Meat you serve is tainted in False Doctrine. Too many of you have sacrificed The Word Of Truth for the ways of the World, becoming Unacceptable to Jesus in Your Walk.

The Scriptures tells us that The World is Our Enemy and Not Our Friend, but too many of you have Welcomed The World into YOUR Doctrine to be Acceptable to The World, having not understanding that You have separated yourselves from Jesus in Your Doctrine! To you I say Repent while you can, turn from Your Evil Ways, Jesus is going to come as a thief in the night, we having no idea of the Day or Time that He will come, but Only The Father knows that Day and Time that Jesus will come for His Bride.

2Pe 3:10 KJV

“But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.”

Mat 24:36 KJV

“But of that day and hour knoweth no [man], no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

 Jesus awaits His Father to tell Him to gather us, to take us to Heaven, but are You Ready? You cannot put it off as though it is a chore, or that You Think there is enough time to do so later. We only know in part what The World will be like when Jesus comes, but we do not know exactly how The Father views things in The Whole Earth at one time.

Brothers and Sisters it is a matter of Choice on What to Believe at this point of time, but Understand this, The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit are one and Unchangeable. As The Father was in the beginning, so is Jesus in the end. Who and What The Father has desired with man has not changed and will not change to satisfy the flesh.

Heb 13:8 KJV

“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

Repent!

Amen and Amen!!!
