Greetings in The Mighty Name of Jesus, The Christ!!!
Sin The Great Deceiver
Many, many Believers, Blood Bought, Saved weigh Sin in Magnitude by Their Understanding, Not Gods (The Father, Jesus, Holy Spirit). Man looks at Sin and within himself, will Declare that’s not so bad or that is the worst. Many, many Believers, Blood Bought, Saved, think that once they have Accepted Jesus as Savior that from that day forward everything is Washed Away By The Blood Of Jesus, that they can do No Wrong, Never be Lost Again. These are all Lies, Deceptions, Manipulations that both Satan and Man have come up with, but The Scriptures and The Holy Spirit say different, most of all, Jesus says different.
What was the Great Fall of Mankind? The Father told Adam, not Eve, not to Eat from the Tree Of Knowledge and that if he did, he would die.
Genesis 2:9, 17 KJV
"9 And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. ... 17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die."
There was No Time Frame on this Command from The Father, it was an Absolute, no if’s, no buts, no maybe’s, no excuses, “Adam if you eat from this Tree and You will die”!
Eve, who was Tricked by Satan, because of the Lust Of The Eye, did eat the Forbidden Fruit First, then went and gave Adam the same Forbidden Fruit believing her over The Father. For Eve after she had eaten the Forbidden Fruit was very much alive, was not dead as The Father said would happen, so being seduced by Eve to eat, Adam at the very first bit, Disobeyed The Father.
At this time neither Adam or Eve understood the Consequences of their actions, for IN Their Eyes they both were still Alive and did not Die. Adam’s Action condemned them and all of mankind into a Sinful Nature…through DNA. But there was a Great Separation between Adam and The Father now, in so much that the Perfect Environment that The Father had prepared for Adam and Eve, were now being Cast Out, Thrown Out, could Never Return into that Place of Fellowship with The Father. It was a Spiritual Separation because of Sin, because of Disobedience.
Genesis 3:23-24 KJV
"23 Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. 24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life."
Moving on…
A Young Prophet was given an assignment from The Father with Specific Instruction. The Young Prophet started his journey and along the way ran into an Old Prophet…
1 Kings 13:8-10 KJV
"8 And the man of God said unto the king, If thou wilt give me half thine house, I will not go in with thee, neither will I eat bread nor drink water in this place: 9 For so was it charged me by the word of the LORD, saying, Eat no bread, nor drink water, nor turn again by the same way that thou camest. 10 So he went another way, and returned not by the way that he came to Bethel."
This Man Of God was told by The Father that he was not to Eat Bread, not to Drink Water and not to Walk In the Same Path as he had already walked, this, the Man Of God quoted to the King and the Man Of God Obeyed The Father and went out of Bethel a different direction.
But here comes the Deception, the Deceiver…
1 Kings 13:11, 14-19 KJV
"11 Now there dwelt an old prophet in Bethel; and his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Bethel: the words which he had spoken unto the king, them they told also to their father. ... 14 And went after the man of God, and found him sitting under an oak: and he said unto him, [Art] thou the man of God that camest from Judah? And he said, I [am]. 15 Then he said unto him, Come home with me, and eat bread. 16 And he said, I may not return with thee, nor go in with thee: neither will I eat bread nor drink water with thee in this place: 17 For it was said to me by the word of the LORD, Thou shalt eat no bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go by the way that thou camest. 18 He said unto him, I [am] a prophet also as thou [art]; and an angel spake unto me by the word of the LORD, saying, Bring him back with thee into thine house, that he may eat bread and drink water. [But] he lied unto him. 19 So he went back with him, and did eat bread in his house, and drank water."
The very First Bit of Bread that this Young Prophet did eat, brought forth Sin, a Separation from The Father’s Commandment. Even though, like Adam, was told by The Father, NOT TO… . Like Adam, a Price For Disobedience MUST be paid.
1 Kings 13:21-24 KJV
"21 And he cried unto the man of God that came from Judah, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Forasmuch as thou hast disobeyed the mouth of the LORD, and hast not kept the commandment which the LORD thy God commanded thee, 22 But camest back, and hast eaten bread and drunk water in the place, of the which [the LORD] did say to thee, Eat no bread, and drink no water; thy carcase shall not come unto the sepulchre of thy fathers. 23 And it came to pass, after he had eaten bread, and after he had drunk, that he saddled for him the ass, [to wit], for the prophet whom he had brought back. 24 And when he was gone, a lion met him by the way, and slew him: and his carcase was cast in the way, and the ass stood by it, the lion also stood by the carcase."
Both were given a Direct Word from The Father and both CHOSE to Walk in Disobedience! Both paid a Price for their Disobedience with their very lives. You Must ask the Question, “What does this do with me, that was in the Old Testament and Jesus has Paid for My Sins…”? The two story’s have everything to do with the here and now. Jesus said that IF we truly Believe in Him, IF we truly Love Him, then what ever Jesus says, we would Do Without Question, Without Disobedience.
Hebrews 13:8 KJV
“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever."
John 14:15 KJV
“If ye love me, keep my commandments."
John 10:30 KJV
“I and [my] Father are one."
Many of you Do Not Understand the Weight, the Cost of Sin and Disobedience. Many of you have been taught that because of Grace you can do No Wrong, that Your Salvation Is Secure no matter what. As Jesus has told me time and time again, if Salvation was as simple as “I Believe In Jesus, I Accept Jesus As Savior” then, the New Testament would be all of just those few words. There would be No Need to have any other Writing Of Obedience given to Man. The Whole World could be Saved by just saying, “I Believe In Jesus, I Accept Jesus As Savior”, but Scripture in its entire, both Old Testament and New Testament speak otherwise!
Jesus said that there will be many, many that will Call Jesus Lord, but Jesus will tell them to their face, I Never Knew You and will cast them into the Lake Of Fire.
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."
Luke 6:46 KJV
“And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?"
It is Not Enough for any person to say, “I Believe In Jesus, I Accept Jesus As Savior” there Must Accompany Fruit, Actions Of Obedience, a Mind and Heart Change. Yes, the work that Jesus was sent to do, is done, no more does anything need to be done on the Spiritual Side, but on the Physical Side we Must Walk Out Our Salvation! In other words, the Price that Jesus Paid for Our Salvation must be Proven, to Jesus, to Man and to Satan. We cannot say one thing and then do the opposite, we cannot walk in the light while giving place to darkness…what fellowship does sin have with righteousness or light to darkness…they cannot be in Fellowship!!!
Matthew 3:7-8 KJV
"7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 8 Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:"
Matthew 7:16-19 KJV
“Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?"
"17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither [can] a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them."
So then, here is the Deception Of Sin… there are many who Clam Jesus as Savior and even more who Clam Jesus as Lord, but their Lives, that is, their Communications, their Actions, their Thoughts, their Associations, their Soul speaks otherwise. We are told in Scripture that there Must Be A Change, that we Must Bring Our Soul’s, Our Body’s, into Subjection, that is, into Obedience To The Word and Holy Spirit to be Acceptable To Jesus.
Romans 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."
1 Corinthians 9:27 KJV
“But I keep under my body, and bring [it] into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway."
World Dictionary of “Subjection” - the action of subjecting a country or person to one's control, or the fact of being subjected.
Bible Dictionary of “Subjection” - to lead away into slavery, claim as one's slave, to make a slave and to treat as a slave with severity, subject to stern and rigid discipline.
In other words, that we Must make, let me say that again, WE MUST MAKE our Flesh and all of it’s attributes, Obey The Word Of Jesus, to Do The Will Of The Father. This is not easy, it is a task that only The Holy Spirit can help us with. Our Flesh is at Constant War with The Spirit, non-stop, day and night, awake and asleep we are in a battle.
Now, understand this, Satan Knows Jesus, Satan Knows The Fathers Will and Satan Knows Mankind’s Weaknesses.
James 2:19 KJV
“Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble."
James 1:14 KJV
“But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed."
Satan uses those things that are Weaknesses Of The Flesh, Sin, to Drawn us away from the Will Of The Father, from being Obedient To Jesus. We have seen the very simplest things that Adam and the Young Prophet did to bring forth death by their Acts Of Disobedience in the Smallest Way…in Our Eyes, but in The Fathers Eyes where Great Acts Of Sin.
Brothers and Sisters I cannot stress enough how we must Walk In Obedience, that every Word, every Action that we say and do will hold us Accountable To Jesus for our very lives. It is not an easy task to Walk, there is No Simple way, but only Aggression To Obedience. It is becoming harder to live in this World being attacked on every side to Walk In Obedience, but Jesus said we Must Endure until the end, that is, until we die.
I know the messages that Jesus gives me seem to all surround Obedience and Disobedience, and they do, but consider this, why does this weigh upon the Lord Jesus so much, why is The Holy Spirit pushing that We Walk According To The Fathers Will, Why?
Matthew 24:13 KJV
“But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved."
2 Timothy 2:3 KJV
“Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ."
Amen and Amen!!!
