If you have ever been on in a court of law, before one testifies they are sworn to tell the truth and nothing but the truth. If it is that way in the world, why is it man tries to change it for the Church?
It will take the truth of the Gospel to save the soul. And, the Church is charged with preaching and telling the truth according to the Word of God.
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life". The scriptures also say, 'sanctify them through thy truth: they word is truth." John 17:17. And, who is the word? The word is God (John 1:1). John 1: 14 says, "And the word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth."
You may not like what the Bible says. You may agree with some parts and disagree with others. But, it takes all of the Word to be saved. Not just the part you like.
Time is winding up. The Spirit of the Lord is not striving with man like He use to. Why? Because most know the truth, but refuse to live it and then try to change it.
Don't lose your soul behind a lie.

If it ever was a time to make your calling and election sure, it is now. The spirit of deception and false teaching is taking over. I read something that asked why would the members allow the Pastor to do this and that. When the real question is why would anyone that is concerned about being saved continue to attend a church where the Pastor is out of order and the word of God is not being preached? The Bible says to save yourself from this untoward generation.
It is time to take a stand. If you are on the Lord's side, stand. If you are not on the Lords side, stand there for light and dark do not mix.

There is a lot going on in the United States and the world right now. The weather is different. There is unrest in some of our cities. A whole university closed down over night leaving students in limbo.
Earth quakes in divers places. The Bible speaks to all of this.
It is time to seek the Lord and be saved!
I know some get tired of hearing it. "the same thing over and over and over again." I know. But, ETERNITY IS A LONG TIME!!!! WHERE WILL YOU SPEND IT?
When a person dies, the only way their soul will rest is if they die saved. If they are not saved when they die, hell will be the final resting place.
What is saved? Being saved is not going to Church. Being saved is not reading the Bible. Being saved is not quoting scriptures.
"Jesus answered, verily, verily I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God (John 3:5). "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved." ( Mark 16:16). "Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost (Acts 2:38). Being saved is repenting (turning away) from a life of sin, seeking the Lord for forgiveness for the sins, getting baptized in Jesus Name for the remission (payment) of those sins, and then getting filled with the Holy Ghost so that you have the power to stay away from a life of sin. When Jesus frees a soul from sin, love and joy fill that soul. That soul falls in love with Jesus and wants to serve Him. Then going to Church becomes like breathing.....you have to be there. Reading the Bible becomes like breathing.....you want to spend time with Jesus. Even in the natural, a person finds time for the things he or she loves. Jesus said in John 14:15 "if you love me, keep my commandments."
Once the will changes, the mind will follow ("For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he" - Proverbs 23:7)
Some will not go to Church unless it is a 'special occasion'. They do not go to Bible study to learn about Jesus. They do not go to pray meeting to seek the face of God. They do not attend worship services. Still drinking alcohol. Still smoking. Still chasing men or women or both. Refusing to come out of a life of sin. How can one still drink and with the same mouth offer to pray for someone? And, it has nothing to do with one sin being bigger or smaller than the other. In the eyes of the Lord, sin is sin. And, all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Therefore, all if mankind needs Jesus Christ, the Saviour of the world.
Before time runs out on you, repent and get saved. Eternity is a long time.
"Blessed are they that do His commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city (Revelation 22:14).

The Lord is so good. Woke up this morning with my mind stayed on Jesus. There are no words to describe how good He is.
"Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in. Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Trust ye in the Lord for ever: for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength:" Isaiah 26:2-4
The scriptures is saying the gates will be open to the righteous because they keep the truth. The peace of God will keep the mind of those that keep Jesus on their mind, because of trusting in God.
There is strength in Jesus Christ the Lord.
There is something about Jesus. There is something about the truth. There is something about trusting in the Lord. There is just something about Jesus.
Oh, how He loves you and me. Oh, how He loves you and me. And purchased our salvation. Way back on Calvary (song lyrics).
Have you received the Holy Ghost since you first believed? Have you been born again of the water and the Spirit? Isn't it time to?

My soul grieves within me when I see and hear the foolishness that is being represented as Holiness. The spirit of blasphemy is everywhere in all things mocking the Church and the Holy Ghost. Woe unto you.
Holiness is required to see the Lord. Being cleaned up by the word that is spoken. Cleaning up the mind, cleaning up the thoughts, cleaning up the acts, cleaning up how you spend your time.
The anointing of God is nothing to play with. Imitating the anointing is like lying.
It is time for people every where to repent!! Jesus is coming back for a Church without spot or wrinkle. The wages of sin is still death. Jesus came to free man kind from the sin. Sin has a price that will be paid at eternity. The preacher, teacher, evangelist, prophet, pastor has to tell the people the truth! They have to denounce sin. For if they do not, the Lord is going to require they pay for the sins of the people they lie to and mislead (Ezekiel 33:6.7)
May your soul cry out for the Lord Jesus Christ to save you. Time is running out children.

The Bible says it is the little foxes that spoil the vine (Song of Solomon 2:15). So many do not understand or want to learn how to present their bodies unto the Lord. For some reason there is this opinion that it does not matter how we carry our bodies or how we dress out bodies and yet still have the Holy Ghost. For some reason, when wearing jewelry, make up, pants is brought up, immediately the cry becomes 'legalism, stop judging, that's not my conviction, I have a new revelation'. For the Bible says, "What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? ( I Corinthians 6:19) Then in I Corinthians 3:17 it says, "If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are."
Some have that love the Lord have not been taught what the Bible says about presenting your body and how to dress and conduct yourself. If they love the Lord, they will embrace the teaching and obey so they can be vessels unto honor. But, those that once ran well and had the standard of holiness in how they dressed their temple are not going against the word of god. Now there is this 'revelation from God' that things have changed.
Not so. The God of salvation, Heaven and Earth (Jesus Christ) is not a double minded, back and forth God. Not so. So, then the Bible tells us to 'in meekness instructing those that oppose themselves if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth." II Timothy 2:25
Brother Nathaniel Wilson taught an excellent study on this, comparing the tabernacle that God used to dwell in first. How the tabernacle was arranged. How those things used in the tabernacle could not be used out side of it for the Lord. They could not be used in a common way. They had to be sanctified. So then what about the body of the believer which now is where God wants to dwell? If the tabernacle had to be sanctified the body of the believer has to be sanctified. As a matter of fact, the teaching said God told the people not to hang anything or cover the fence so His glory could shine. So, why would one want to wear make up and cover the beauty that the holiness of God has placed on you?
I have found that once a person falls in love with Jesus, what ever He desires is what that person will seek to do and become. When something is done out of love, it is not hard, difficult or resented. It has been said that the real definition of legalism is when you do something for Jesus, but do not love Jesus. Its when you do something our of feeling obligated in stead of out of love. When you love someone there is nothing that you would not do for that person. When a person loves Jesus, they are willing to present their body as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto God which is just reasonable service. And, they are also willing to, "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. (Romans 12:1,2).
Holiness is what God requires in order for a soul to see Him in peace one day. For He said that without it no man shall see the Lord (Hebrew 12:14). And, he left five ministry offices that He will fill with men and women that will preach and teach the commandments and statues of God. He gave some Apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 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 fullness of Christ." Ephesians 4:11-13.
Anyone that comes against this or teaches different is wrong. Let every man be a liar and the Word of God be true. Galatians 1:9, "As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed."
It is time to represent Jesus Christ to a dying world. Let the Church be the Church.

To say you Love Jesus is saying something. For to love the Lord, one can not love the world.. For He has command to love not the world neither the things that are in the world.
To love Jesus is to be willing to deny yourself and seek after the things of the Lord. Things that make Him happy. Things that please Him. The Bible says in Psalms 84:11, "no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly."
In order to love Jesus, you must be born again of the water and of the spirit. The Bible says he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him I John 4:16). Notice it says, 'God in him'. There in lies the teaching of being born again. For there is no other way for the God to dwell in a person unless they have been born again. It is a myth the believe that a person is born with God inside them from birth. That is not true. When a child is born, they are born into sin. The born again experience must take place in order for the soul to be saved.
Salvation involves a turning from sin...repentance. After repentance, one must be baptized in the Name of Jesus so the sin can be paid for by the blood Jesus shed on the cross. After the baptism in Jesus Name (Acts 2:38), one must receive the Holy Ghost. Some receive the Holy Ghost at the baptism. Some have to tarry (wait) for it. Either way, it is a necessity to get Holy Ghost filled. It is not an option.
Loving Jesus is more than just saying words.

#Antsy,#Led of the Lord,#Patience
The Bible teaches to let patience have her perfect work (James 1:4). The Bible teaches in patience possess ye your soul (Luke 21:19). The Bible also teaches to wait on the Lord and be of good courage and He shall strengthen thine heart (Psalms 27:14). So, why try and rush what the Lord has not allowed in your life?
Many make ship wreck because having zeal but no wisdom to wait. The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord. He knows what He wants you to do. Wait on Him. Sometimes when you get in a hurry, you make mistakes and miss out on the perfect will of the Lord. You will make decisions based on feeling and emotions and not the will of the Lord when you do not have patience to wait. God told Abraham he would have a seed that would come from his lions. The Lord did not fulfill His word to Abraham until Sarah was of age when it should not have been possible for her to bare children. And, because Abraham could not wait, he did things his way and a son was born of his seed that was not the will of the Lord, his son Ishmael.
It takes patience to wait without complaining or trying to rush things. The Lord knows what He wants. Oh if men, women, boys and girls would learn how to wait.
For those that lack patience, the Lord is so good that He has a remedy, tribulation. The Bible says in Romans 5:3 "And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;"
Learn how to wait.

I will bless the Lord at all times. His praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul shall make her boast in the Lord.
Much is going on all around us today. If your hearts desire is to go to Heaven, time is truly out for being slothful and playing around. It is time to seek the face of the Lord, fast and pray like never before. The attack on the truth and Holiness is getting worse.
Many have already taken down from the standard of Holiness. The reasons given will never hold up in the judgement. The Bible says if you continue in the Word, then are you my disciples in deed, and ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. St. John 8:31,32
Continuing in the word.....don't change it. Don't go looking for Jesus outside of the Bible, the word of God. The impatience and desire for 'something new and different' is driving many from Holiness. Those that once ran well are now turning aside from the standards of holiness.
The ways and word of the Lord are never going to change. He said ' I am the Lord, God. I change not.' Malachi 3:6b
It will take the truth of the Gospel to save the soul. And, the Church is charged with preaching and telling the truth according to the Word of God.
