Spreading the Saving Grace of Christ Jesus. Giving God the glory in all circumstances and allowing Him to transform lives and hearts through the atoning work on the Cross. "For we are saved by grace through faith...Ephesians 2:8-9. Love and praise Him with all your heart, mind, strength and soul. Love thy neighbor as thyself and these are the 2 greatest commandments. For even Christ Jesus came not to be served but to serve and sacrifice.
...Of course Lord, You chose me and the reason that is so important to me is because I struggle so much with how to affirm my own worth and value through You, the filter in which I am sifted for eternal value and worth...
"Even as [in His love] He chose us [actually picked us out for Himself as His own] in Christ before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy (consecrated and set apart for Him) and blameless in His sight, even above reproach, before Him in love. For He foreordained us (destined us, planned in love for us) to be adopted (revealed) as His own children...because it pleased Him and was His kind intent", Ephesians 1:4-5 Amp.
All of this planning and choosing me for Yourself took place before I ever did and You didn't have to choose me, You weren't forced to pick me as if I were the last kid left on the playground to be on your team - no, the scripture says it pleased You and it was Your kind intent - You, the Lord of the universe, intentionally chose me to be Yours and not just to be on Your team or to play a game and then be done with me, You chose me to be Yours forever!
" And Forget Not ALL HIS Benefits " From Psalm 103
Psalm 103 is one of the sweetest Psalms that gives us just a glimpse of how much GOD loves HIS people and how much HE loves those who don't even know HIM yet. Let me show you Psalm 103:
Bless the LORD, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless HIS HOLY name ! Bless the LORD, O my soul; and forget not all HIS benefits:
WHO forgives all your iniquities, WHO heals all your diseases,
WHO redeems your life from destruction, WHO crowns you with lovingkindness, and tender mercies, WHO satisfies your mouth with good things, so that your mouth is renewed like the eagle's. To Finish Reading, Click Here
A small town prosecuting attorney called his first witness to the stand in a trial--a grandmotherly, elderly woman. He approached her and asked, "Mrs. Jones, do you know me?"
She responded, "Why, yes, I do know you Mr. Williams. I've known you since you were a young boy. And frankly, you've been a big disappointment to me. You lie, you cheat on your wife, you manipulate people and talk about them behind their backs. You think you're a rising big shot when you haven't the brains to realise you never will amount to anything more than a two-bit paper pusher. Yes, I know you."
The lawyer was stunned. Not knowing what else to do he pointed across the room and asked, "Mrs. Williams, do you know the defence attorney?"
She again replied, "Why, yes I do. I've known Mr. Bradley since he was a youngster, too. I used to baby-sit him for his parents. And he, too, has been a real disappointment to me. He's lazy, bigoted, he has a drinking problem. The man can't build a normal relationship with anyone and his law practice is one of the shoddiest in the entire state. Yes, I know him."
At this point, the judge rapped the courtroom to silence and called both counsellors to the bench. In a very quiet voice, he said with menace, "If either of you asks her if she knows me, you'll be in jail for contempt within 5 minutes!" ************************ MORAL OF THE STORY......
Very good Bible-preaching only pastor. Older but in my experience, they are the ones who teach TRUTH! Only today are preachers teaching false doctrines! Thank God for the internet! Be blessed always. BTW, online sermons are fantastic! You can pause, rewind, and stop in order to take notes, find scriptures, etc. You can't do that in church. Does anyone know how to start a home church? I think I may try that as many in my area are frustrated that no churches in our city are really good, Spirit-filled, truth-teaching leaders. I know the internet can be a very evil and dangerous place but... "As we know, ALL things for to the GOOD, to those who love the Lord and are called according to His purposes." Romans 8:28! What satan uses for evil, God ALWAYS uses it for the good. Many people who can't find or go to a physical church no longer have to miss out on God's word, the truth and fellowship. It's all at the tip of our fingers. While not perfect, He is! GRACE! We are blessed!
This is the first video in an 8-series set by Pastor Robert Breaker at Cloud Church. I will be posting them once per day but there are links to all 8 on the right hand side of the blog under his name IF you want to jump ahead. I haven't watched all of them but it is Biblically based and what I was always raised to believe. He has many others, a very good one is Jesus vs. Paul. DO NOT let the title fool you. It's not what it seems. Jesus taught the Kingdom of God at hand and when the Jews rejected Him, Paul was given the Gospel of Christ Jesus to preach. JESUS FIRST! He has many "opinions" but always tells you it's opinion not fact. He is not a false prophet. He gives information only! God bless and enjoy. I hope it helps!
RECEIPT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, BAPTISM,TONGUES AND REPENTANCE TONGUES (A KNOWN LANGUAGE!!!)
If the gift of speaking in tongues were active in the church today, it would be performed in agreement with Scripture. It would be a real and intelligible language (1 Corinthians 14:10). It would be for the purpose of communicating God's Word with a person of another language (Acts 2:6-12). It would be in agreement with the command God gave through the apostle Paul, “If anyone speaks in a tongue, two—or at the most three—should speak, one at a time, and someone must interpret. If there is no interpreter, the speaker should keep quiet in the church and speak to himself and God” (1 Corinthians 14:27-28). It would also be in accordance with 1 Corinthians 14:33, “For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.” If someone makes this gift into an IDOL and claims that one who cannot speak in tongues is not saved that person is teaching a heresy. WHY? Because there is only one way to salvation and that is to believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ by unmerited grace through faith God gives to believe. Any work or sign that is a condition attached to BELIEVE ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST is heresy and heresy is of the Devil. BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IS IMMEDIATE AT THE MOMENT OF BELIEF (It is NOT proven by any experience nor speaking in a known tongue)
Eph.4: 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. 1. The baptism of the Holy Spirit occurs at the moment one believes the Gospel. God the Holy Spirit is sent to seal us into Jesus without anything we do (tongues speaking included) . Add something we must do: speaking in tongues, and that one is NOT born again no matter what they say about their experiences. The baptism of the Holy Spirit may be defined as that work whereby the Spirit of God places the believer into union with Christ and into union with other believers in the body of Christ at the moment of salvation. The baptism of the Holy Spirit was predicted by John the Baptist (Mark 1:8) and by Jesus before He ascended to heaven: “For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit” (Acts 1:5). This promise was fulfilled on the Day of Pentecost (Acts 2:1–4); for the first time, people were permanently indwelt by the Holy Spirit, and the church had begun. ” Ephesians 1:13-14 teaches us that the Holy Spirit is the seal of salvation for all those who believe: “Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession—to the praise of his glory.” The possession of the Spirit is an identifying factor of the possession of salvation. Further, the Holy Spirit could not be the “seal of salvation” (Ephesians 1:13-14) if He is not received at the moment of salvation (BELIEF IN JESUS AS LORD AND SAVIOR ACCORDING TO THE GOSPEL) Many scriptures make it abundantly clear that our salvation is secured the moment we receive Christ as Savior. This discussion is controversial because the ministries of the Holy Spirit are often confused. The receiving/indwelling of the Spirit occurs at the moment of salvation. The filling of the Spirit is an ongoing process in the Christian life. While we hold that the baptism of the Spirit also occurs at the moment of salvation, some Christians do not. This sometimes results in the baptism of the Spirit being confused with “receiving the Spirit” as an act subsequent to salvation. In conclusion, how do we receive the Holy Spirit? We receive the Holy Spirit by simply receiving the Lord Jesus Christ as our Savior (John 3:5-16). When do we receive the Holy Spirit? The Holy Spirit becomes our permanent possession the moment we believe. MORE ABOUT BAPTISM
The Baptism of the Holy Spirit saves and seals us permanently. The ritual Baptism, before another or other believers is an acknowledgement of our belief as well as obedience to the command of Jesus. IT IS NOT A CONDITION OF ANYTHING WE MUST DO TO ALLOW GOD TO SAVE US! There are many circumstances where the called out child of God cannot be baptized and for one reason or another dies right after a confession of belief. ALL CAN COME. ALL CAN BE SAVED. AND ANY TEACHING THAT INCLUDES ANY CONDITION BUT BELIEVE ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST IS HERESY. Rom.10: 9 that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; There are many who say that the Bible also teaches that Baptism is the last act needed that that person does for God to save them. This has raged in the "church" VISIBLE only for generations. IT IS FALSE. BELIEF SAVES AND BAPTISM ACKNOWLEDGES THAT BELIEF AND FAITH GOD GAVE TO BELIEVE THE GOSPEL. Here are two used to hit "BY GRACE ALONE THROUGH FAITH ALONE" over the head and swear by it! Acts 2:38 Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
Acts 2:38 explained. This was preached to the Jew's. They had the word of God. They knew the prophesies. They were going away from God in sins.The message is REPENT. (Change your mind and then your conduct will follow) Repent means to believe the Gospel and start walking God's way. The evidence of the change of mind and belief in Jesus Christ as Messiah and Lord and Savior is the Baptism in water. This was NOT, for them, anything to put off! It was immediate so as to identify who had come out of Judaism and crossed over into belief in Jesus Christ as Lord. In that day the custom and rite of Baptism followed immediately after being saved. THE RITUAL OF BAPTISM HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH BELIEVING ON JESUS. IT WAS A WITNESS BEFORE OTHER BELIEVERS OF THAT PERSONS FAITH AND SALVATION THAT ALWAYS PRECEDES THE RITUAL OF BAPTISM. What does baptism signify? Baptism illustrates a believer’s identification with Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection. Romans 6:3-4 declares, “Or don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.” The action of being immersed in the water illustrates dying and being buried with Christ. The action of coming out of the water pictures Christ’s resurrection. Requiring anything in addition to faith in Jesus Christ for salvation is a works-based salvation. To add anything to the gospel is to say that Jesus' death on the cross was not sufficient to purchase our salvation. To say that baptism is necessary for salvation is to say we must add our own good works and obedience to Christ's death in order to make it sufficient for salvation. Jesus' death alone paid for our sins (Romans 5:8; 2 Corinthians5:21). Jesus' payment for our sins is appropriated to our “account” by faith alone (John 3:16; Acts 16:31; Ephesians 2:8-9). Therefore, baptism is an important step of obedience after salvation but cannot be a requirement for salvation. Yes, there are some verses that seem to indicate****baptism as a requirement for salvation. However, since the Bible so clearly tells us that salvation is received by faith alone (John 3:16; Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5), there must be a different interpretation of those verses. Scripture does not contradict Scripture. In Bible times, a person who converted from one religion to another was often baptized to identify conversion. Baptism was the means of making a decision public. Those who refused to be baptized were saying they did not truly believe. So, in the minds of the apostles and early disciples, the idea of an un-baptized believer was unheard of. When a person claimed to believe in Christ, yet was ashamed to proclaim his faith in public, it indicated that he did not have true faith. ANOTHER HERESY
Baptismal regeneration is the belief that baptism is necessary for salvation, or, more precisely, that regeneration does not occur until a person is water baptized. Advocates of baptismal regeneration typically have a four-part formula for how salvation is received. They believe that a person must believe, repent, confess, and be baptized in order to be saved. They believe this way because there are biblical passages that seem to indicate that each of these actions is necessary for salvation. For example, Romans 10:9–10 links salvation with confession. Acts 2:38 links salvation with repentance and baptism. Repentance, understood according to scriptures, is required for salvation. Repentance is a change of mind. Repentance, in relation to salvation, is changing your mind from rejection of Christ to acceptance of Christ. It is not a separate step from saving faith. Rather, it is an essential aspect of saving faith. One cannot receive Jesus Christ as Savior, by grace through faith, without a change of mind about who He is and what He did. Confession, understood in the Bible, is a demonstration of faith. If a person has truly received Jesus Christ as Savior, proclaiming that faith to others will be a result. If a person is ashamed of Christ and/or ashamed of the message of the gospel, it is highly unlikely that the person has understood the gospel or experienced the salvation that Christ provides. Baptism, understood in scriptures, is an identification with Christ. Christian baptism illustrates a believer’s identification with Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection (Romans 6:3–4). As with confession, if a person is unwilling to be baptized—unwilling to identify his/her life as being redeemed by Jesus Christ—that person has very likely not been made a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17) through faith in Jesus Christ. Repenting, confessing, etc., do not make a person worthy of salvation. Rather, the official view is that faith, repentance, confession, and baptism are “works of obedience,” things a person must do before God grants salvation. While the standard Protestant understanding is that faith is the one thing God requires before salvation is granted, those of the baptismal regeneration persuasion believe that baptism—and, for some, repentance and confession—are additional things God requires before He grants salvation. THAT IS NOT HOW IT WORKS! REPENTANCE BEGINS WHEN ONE BELIEVES THEY ARE A LOST SINNER BOUND FOR HELL AND THAT JESUS IS LORD AND SAVIOR. THIS IS WHAT PREACHING ACCORDING TO GOD'S GIFT PROPOUNDS BY THE SPIRIT. SEE FOOT NOTE BELOW ( ) The problem with this viewpoint is that there are biblical passages that clearly and explicitly declare faith to be the only requirement for salvation. John 3:16, one of the most well-known verses in the Bible, states, “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” In Acts 16:30, the Philippian jailer asks the apostle Paul, “What must I do to be saved?” If there was ever an opportunity for Paul to present a four-part formula, this was it. Paul’s response was simple: “Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved” (Acts 16:31). No baptism, no confession, just faith. There are literally dozens of verses in the New Testament that attribute salvation to faith/belief with no other requirement mentioned in the context. If baptism, or anything else, is necessary for salvation, all of these verses are wrong, and the Bible contains errors and is therefore no longer worthy of our trust. An exhaustive study of the New Testament on various requirements for salvation is not necessary. Receiving salvation is not a process or a multi-step formula. Salvation is a finished product, not a recipe. What must we do to be saved? Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and we will be saved. BE FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT FOR SERVICE
This Spirit baptism occurs once for every believer; it is the new birth. The baptism of the Spirit is given to all believers alike, (1 Cor. 12:13 ALL believers are baptized by the Holy Spirit; Gal. 3:27 ALL believers have been baptized into Christ.) BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT What is available to all of us are subsequent fillings that keep us walking in the Spirit’s power to live a life pleasing to the Lord and pursue serving Him and doing His will. “And he (Christ) is the head of the body, the church” (Col. 1:18), Jesus is the baptizer, making every believer today part of the Body of Christ. The Holy Spirit is given to bring believers into the “one body” (1Cor. 12:13). Galatians 3:26-27 “For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.” Meaning to wear him to be seen on the outside like a garment; we are to be living epistles. BEING FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT (many fillings along our life's way in Christ Jesus our Lord) Eph. 5:18-19: “And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord” This is the tense of being continually filled, meaning often; it is not a one time event as the baptism of the Spirit is. In contrast, the filling of the Spirit is a continuous activity. Paul makes a CONTRAST that our being filled with the Spirit does not have the same effect as drinking alcoholic beverages, but is the opposite. A Spirit filled Christian has his Bible in his heart. As David said, “thy word I have his in my heart that I may not sin against you.” It is essential to KNOW the word to live a spiritual life. ONE BAPTISM!
There is no command in Scripture that tells us to be re-baptized by the Holy Spirit. Why? Because it is something that immediately happens when one is born again. Teaching another baptism with the Holy Spirit for those who are born again is not correct; the Bible teaches to be filled and refilled as a continual and necessary process. When faith is exercised at the moment one believes, the Holy Spirit indwells us (Gal. 3:2). The Greek perfect tense is used in I Jn. 2:29; 3:9; 4:7; 5:1, 5, 18. It emphasizes an action that was completed in the past but continues unchanged into the present. It means it is instantaneous, regeneration is not a process, but its effect continues to the present. We are justified and are presently being sanctified and will one day be glorified. In the book of Acts, the endowment of power was for their witnessing, by preaching of the Word. The power was seen in transforming lives when people’s sins were forgiven through the gospel being preached. Boldness, not just tongues, was the common denominator of being filled with the Spirit. “Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit said to them...when they saw the boldness of Peter...” (Acts 4:8,13). “They [the believers] were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness” (4:31). “Brother Saul...was filled with the Holy Spirit.... Immediately he preached the Christ in the synagogues... (9:17, 20). “And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit...speaking boldly in the Lord (Acts 13:45-46,52, 14:3; 1 Thessalonians 2:2). A Spirit filled person or church will be bold in proclaiming the truth, the gospel and standing against error. “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind” (2 Timothy 1:7). DAILY FILLINGS What many believe as a separate baptism should more accurately be called a filling of the Spirit. To be filled with the Spirit is a daily thing, to be baptized with the Holy Spirit (baptized into the Body by the Holy Spirit) happens only once. So the baptism with the Spirit is what takes place at salvation which places us in the body of Christ and He indwells us. The filling of the Spirit is part of our sanctification, our discipleship, as give over the areas we need to for his control. Once we understand this we can pursue the right thing. THE ABOVE IS EVERY FAITHFUL CHRISTIANS EXPERIENCE WHO ARE WALKING IN THE FAITH AND SEEKING FILLINGS DAILY WITHOUT SIN THAT IS NOT CONFESSED WHICH BREAKS FELLOWSHIP WITH OUR FATHER AND BINDS THE HOLY SPIRIT. SIN BINDS THE HOLY SPIRIT AND BREAKS OUR FELLOWSHIP WITH OUR FATHER That is why we are to be edified by 1 John 1:5-10; 2:1-2 : PLEASE REVIEW AGAIN. * REPENTANCE ESSENTIAL GOSPEL TRUTHS WE CAN COUNT ON IN MINISTERING TO THE LOST.
There is no sinless Gospel. WITHOUT " Christ died for our sins..." Repentance is just an empty word without any attendant convicting ministry of the Holy Spirit that faith from God empowers in the called out believer. Those who profess Christ without conviction of sin will be led to a false belief and not saved. WHAT IS BIBLE BASED REPENTANCE? Luke 5:32 " I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." The full biblical definition of repentance is a change of mind of our lack of belief that GOD IS: that JESUS LIVES AND IS LORD GOD AND SAVIOR WHO SHED HIS SINLESS BLOOD ON THE CROSS, DIED FOR OUR SINS , AND ROSE FROM THE DEAD and WE ARE LOST SINNERS UNDER JUDGMENT; that this divine realization results in a change of mind, action and ambitions, in our life. [ *JUDGMENT "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son,that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life" (John 3:16). What is the meaning of perish? John 5:29 "29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation." Revelation 21:8 "But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.] REPENTANCE This begins NOT as a condition we must satisfy by our doing this or not doing that which we did before we were saved,(sinning!) but IS the result of receiving a saving faith (God gives), (Eph.2:8-9) to BELIEVE who Jesus is (Acts 2:36 ) and what He has done and being convicted of our sinful nature by the Holy Spirit and that we are lost sinners bound for Hell, that our walk in Christ, after we believe, exemplifies, as a change in our behavior (2 Corinthians 5:17; Galatians 5:19-23; James 2:14-26), witnessed by our works in faith wrapped in the fruits the Holy Spirit provides through us, (Matt. 3:8; in particular His Love) as proof of repentance. Galatians 5: 22-23 " But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law."(Gal.5:22-23) (Shall we continue to practice sin as our way of living? God forbid! Romans 6:1-2) It is crucially important that we understand repentance is not a work we do to earn salvation. No one can repent and come to God unless God pulls that person to Himself (John 6:44). Acts 11:18 indicates that repentance is something God gives—it is only possible because of His grace through faith God gives.(Eph. 2:8) All of salvation, including repentance and faith, is a result of God drawing us, opening our eyes, and changing our hearts. God's long suffering leads us to REPENTANCE (2 Peter 3:9), as does His kindness (Romans 2:4). Turning from sin is not the definition of repentance, but it is one of the results of genuine faith-based repentance, AFTER Salvation vests through the Lord Jesus Christ. THE HERESY OF "WE" DO Never fall for a "Gospel" that says we must abandon sin first (a false claim of what repentance is) AND turn our life over to God (a fallacy since we are still in our sins, nor does God want our dead life, but will provide new life, by The Holy Spirit in us, in whom Jesus works through for us, and this eternal life is for His Glory) SALVATION IS A FREE GIFT OF GOD
Ephesians 2:8-9 "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast." And what God gives, through Christ, LET NO ONE put asunder by any condition, any sign, any law, anything that denies the perfect work of Jesus and the Eternal salvation He bestows through what He FINISHED for we, His bride to be. NO WORKS GOSPEL There is no Gospel preached that mixes in ANYTHING man does, could do, must do but confess belief in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior according to the Gospel and if it does, is another Gospel ( ie: using "repentance", one facet of which is a CHANGE OF MIND about our sinful nature, produced by Godly sorrow for sin, accomplished by the Holy Spirit convicting ministry through the Gospel received, and demanding ACTIONS that show such repentance as a CONDITION of salvation is false ), or any act we must do, not do, or do perfectly, BUT BELIEVE! is another Gospel; that God condemns. Galatians 1:6-9 We are justified IN CHRIST, not ourselves nor in our progress, after being saved, in being made Holy (Sanctification) Romans 3:21-26 21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; 22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; 26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. No Gospel's salvation is proven by man's keeping of any law, a Sabbath. Being in Christ is our Sabbath rest in this day of grace. It is, IN CHRIST, everyday in faithful work as He (See John 5:17). He finished our redemption, not by us keeping law (Hebrews 4:1,11; Gal.4:1-2; Col.2: 16-17 ); or receiving a Baptism, speaking in tongues, not anything but by Christ alone. THE DEVIL LOVES "CONDITIONS" AND NOT PURE GRACE THROUGH FAITH!
1 Tim.4:1-2 " Now the Spirit speaks expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;" WARNING! (ANY WORK OF MAN (ANY!) ) BEWARE OF ANOTHER GOSPEL WHICH IS NO GOSPEL ANOTHER GOSPEL Galatians 1: 6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: 7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 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.

God has sent his word through angelic reinforcement to confirm your release. (Lightstock )
The word of the Lord came to me saying that the body of Christ is coming into their divine season of prophetic fulfillment. The Lord likened this next season as a time of an open door, open window, gate and open portal where prophetic prayers and intercession has ascended to Him. God has heard your petition!
The Lord showed me that there was war going on in the heavenlies. Your breakthrough of miracles, blessings, favor, answered prayers, restoration, healing and salvation for loved ones is breaking through suddenly.
Many of you have been pressing in, soaking in His presence and petitioning the King and Judge to release a favorable outcome and judgment. The Lord says that your personal prophecies and prayers has met much resistance, but He has sent His word through angelic reinforcement to confirm your release.
He has sent His warring angels to help bring your prophecy and prayer requests to pass. The Lord reminded me of Daniel—when he prayed, the Lord answered Him. God spoke to me that your answers are coming like express, certified, hand-delivered mail.
"Then he said to me, "Do not be afraid, Daniel. For from the first day that you set your heart to understand this and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come because of your words.But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me for twenty-one days. So Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left there with the kings of Persia" (Dan. 10:12-13).
God wants me to encourage you that your breakthrough is imminent. The warfare was not in vain! God has dispatched His angels to carry out His prophetic promises in your life. The Lord said that your prayers seem to hit a brass heaven, but He is opening the heavens on your behalf while sending the host of heaven to cause you to walk in your prophetic destiny. Angels are summoned by the voice of the prophetic decrees and words over your life. God has employed your angels the first day you prayed!
"TheLordhas established His throne in the heavens,and His kingdom rules over all.Bless theLord, you His angels,who are mighty, and do His commands,and obey the voice of His word.Bless theLord, all you His hosts;you servants who do His pleasure"(Ps. 103:19-21).
We must understand one of the assignments of angels is that they carry out God's Word. Their primary role is to respond to the voice of the Lord. True prophetic words that are released from the mouth of God and His prophets will summons angelic assistance to bring God's promises, will and directives to pass. Angels serve the eternal purposes of God. They bring in provision for the vision of God in your life that is to align to His will and word over you.
God is dispatching His angels to deliver you from the grip of the enemy that is keeping you from walking in your destiny!
"The very night when Herod would have brought him out, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains. And the guards before the door were securing the prison. And suddenly an angel of the Lord approached him, and a light shone in the prison. He struck Peter on the side and woke him up, saying, 'Rise up, quickly.' And the chains fell off his hands" (Acts 12:5-7).
Angels will be used of God strategically in this hour like never before to bring divine breakthroughs in the life of the believer. As the prophets prophesy the word of God, we will see prophetic breakthroughs. As we war over our personal prophecies, we will see angels coming to the rescue to deliver and fight for you to receive the promises of the Father.
"This command I commit to you, my son Timothy, according to the prophecies that were previously given to you, that by them you might fight a good fight" (1 Tim. 1:18).
It's probably the first song you learned in Sunday School but you know what, it's so true! It simplifies it all...Yes, Jesus Loves You because the Bible tells us so. That's why He died. God bless and enjoy!
We can't say we are nor do I think we should because we don't have the mind of God. I think it's dangerous. Do I have an opinion? Yes! I personally don't see how things could get much worse yet I know they will. It's going to get worse and every single day things happen. Strange weather, occurrences and even UFO sightings. I have my own thoughts on those. I share to make others aware and hopefully bring light to a very dark world. See the plan of salvation in First Corinthians 15:1-4. God bless.
I have been to churches that say baptism is necessary for salvation in order for "remission of sins." That's the whole purpose of Baptism. I've been baptized. I wanted to be but I never thought my salvation depended on it nor did I believe that I must be baptized to receive the Holy Spirit as the Bible says it's a free gift upon salvation AND it was the Holy Spirit that led me to be baptized. How could the Holy Spirit lead me if I didn't have Him? My question then is, if baptism is for REMISSION OF SIN and to be SAVED, why did Christ Jesus get baptized? He was sin-free, pure, innocent, no blemishes. He is God. Why then was He, of all men, need to be baptized? Just curious. I'd love to have an answer! God bless you all.
But there WERE also FALSE Prophets (THROUGH Satan) among The People, even as there WILL BE FALSE Teachers (THROUGH Satan) AMONG YOU (Believers), who will SECRETLY BRING IN Destructive Heresies (THROUGH Satan), EVEN DENYING The LORD (Jesus Christ) Who BOUGHT Them (FALSE Teachers THROUGH Satan), and BRING ON Themselves (FALSE Teachers THROUGH Satan) SWIFT DESTRUCTION (THROUGH Jesus Christ). And Many will follow Their (FALSE Teachers THROUGH Satan) DESTRUCTIVE WAYS, because of whom (FALSE Teachers THROUGH Satan), The WAY OF TRUTH (The Gospel of Jesus Christ) WILL BE BLASPHEMED. By Covetousness, They (FALSE Teachers THROUGH Satan) will EXPLOIT YOU (Believers) WITH Deceptive Words (THROUGH Satan); for a long time Their (FALSE Teachers THROUGH Satan) JUDGMENT has NOT been IDLE, and Their (FALSE Teachers THROUGH Satan) DESTRUCTION does NOT Slumber.
2 Peter 2:4-11
For if GOD (GOD Almighty) DID NOT SPARE the angels (the fallen angels) who SINNED, but CAST them (the fallen angels) DOWN TO HELL and DELIVERED them (the fallen angels) INTO CHAINS of DARKNESS, to be RESERVED for JUDGMENT; and DID NOT SPARE The Ancient World (At The Time of Noah), BUT SAVED Noah, One of Eight People, A Preacher of Righteousness, bringing in The FLOOD ON The World (Satan’s World) of The UNGODLY (Unbelievers THROUGH Satan, Giants THROUGH fallen angels, etc.); and TURNING The Cities of Sodom and Gomorrah INTO ASHES, CONDEMNED Them (Unbelievers) TO DESTRUCTION, MAKING Them (Unbelievers) AN EXAMPLE TO Those (Unbelievers) who AFTERWARD would LIVE UNGODLY (THROUGH Satan); and DELIVERED Righteous Lot, Who WAS OPPRESSED by The Filthy Conduct (THROUGH Satan) of The Wicked (Unbelievers), for THAT Righteous Man (Lot), Dwelling among Them (Unbelievers), TORMENTED His (Lot’s) Righteous Soul from day to day by SEEING and HEARING Their (Unbelievers) LAWLESS DEEDS (THROUGH Satan), THEN The LORD (GOD Almighty) KNOWS, HOW TO DELIVER The GODLY (Believers) OUT of Temptations (Through Satan) and TO RESERVE The Unjust (Unbelievers) UNDER PUNISHMENT FOR The DAY OF JUDGMENT, and ESPECIALLY Those (Unbelievers) who WALK ACCORDING TO The Flesh (THROUGH Satan) IN The Lust of Uncleanness (THROUGH Satan) and Despise Authority (THROUGH Satan). They (Unbelievers) ARE Presumptuous, Self-Willed. They (Unbelievers) are NOT AFRAID to Speak Evil (THROUGH Satan) of Dignitaries, WHEREAS Angels (GOD Almighty’s Holy Angels), Who ARE GREATER, IN POWER and MIGHT, Do NOT bring a Reviling Accusation AGAINST Them (Dignitaries) BEFORE The LORD (GOD Almighty).
2 Peter 2:12-17
But These (Unbelievers), LIKE Natural Brute Beasts (which can NOT Comprehend) MADE TO BE CAUGHT and DESTROYED, SPEAK Evil (THROUGH Satan) of The THINGS They (Unbelievers) DO NOT UNDERSTAND, and Will UTTERLY PERISH IN Their (Unbelievers) Own Corruption (THROUGH Satan), and Will RECEIVE The WAGES (The Second Death) of Unrighteousness (THROUGH Satan), as Those (Unbelievers) who COUNT IT Pleasure TO Carouse IN The Daytime. They (Unbelievers) ARE SPOTS and BLEMISHES, Carousing IN Their (Unbelievers) Own Deceptions (THROUGH Satan) while They (Unbelievers) feast WITH YOU (Believers), having eyes FULL of Adultery (THROUGH Satan) and that can NOT Cease FROM sin (THROUGH Sin), ENTICING Unstable Souls. They (Unbelievers) have a Heart TRAINED (THROUGH Satan) IN Covetous Practices, and ARE ACCURSED (THROUGH Satan) Children. They (Unbelievers) have FORSAKEN The RIGHT WAY (The Gospel of Jesus Christ) and GONE ASTRAY (THROUGH Satan), FOLLOWING The Way (THROUGH Satan) of Balaam, The Son of Beor, who Loved The WAGES (The Second Death) of Unrighteousness (THROUGH Satan); BUT He (Balaam) was REBUKED for His (Balaam’s) Iniquity (THROUGH Satan): A Dumb Donkey SPEAKING (THROUGH GOD Almighty) WITH A Man’s Voice RESTRAINED The Madness (THROUGH Satan) of The Prophet (Balaam). These (Unbelievers) are Wells WITHOUT Water (Empty), Clouds CARRIED BY A Tempest (Disaster), for whom IS RESERVED The Blackness of Darkness (Eternal Separation FROM The Presence of GOD Almighty) Forever.
1 John 4:1-6
Beloved (Believers), Do NOT believe EVERY Spirit (of Men), BUT TEST The Spirits (of Men), WHETHER They (Men) ARE OF GOD (GOD Almighty); BECAUSE Many FALSE Prophets (THROUGH Satan) HAVE GONE OUT INTO The World (Satan’s World). BY THIS YOU (Believers) KNOW The Spirit (The Holy Spirit) OF GOD (GOD Almighty): EVERY Spirit (Believers) that CONFESSES that Jesus Christ HAS COME IN The Flesh (The Natural Body) IS OF GOD (GOD Almighty), and EVERY Spirit (Unbelievers) that DOES NOT CONFESS that Jesus Christ HAS COME IN The Flesh IS NOT OF GOD (GOD Almighty). And THIS IS The Spirit of The Antichrist (Satan), which YOU (Believers) have heard was COMING, and IS NOW Already IN The World (Satan’s World).
YOU (Believers) ARE OF GOD (GOD Almighty), Little Children (Believers), and have OVERCOME Them (Unbelievers THROUGH Satan), BECAUSE He (Jesus Christ THROUGH The Holy Spirit) Who IS IN YOU (Believers) IS GREATER Than He (Satan) who IS IN The World (Satan’s World). They (Unbelievers) ARE OF The World (THROUGH Satan). Therefore, They (Unbelievers THROUGH Satan) Speak AS OF The World (Satan’s World), and The World (Satan’s World) HEARS Them (Unbelievers THROUGH Satan). We (Believers) ARE OF GOD (GOD Almighty). He (Believers) Who KNOWS GOD (GOD Almighty) HEARS Us (Believers); He (Unbelievers) who is NOT of GOD (GOD Almighty) DOES NOT HEAR Us (Believers). BY THIS, We (Believers) KNOW The Spirit (Believers) OF TRUTH AND The Spirit (Unbelievers) OF ERROR (THROUGH Satan).
Romans 1:24-32
Therefore, GOD (GOD Almighty) also GAVE Them (Unbelievers) UP TO Uncleanness (THROUGH Satan), IN The Lusts (THROUGH Satan) of Their (Unbelievers) Hearts, to Dishonor Their (Unbelievers) Bodies among Themselves (Unbelievers), who EXCHANGED The TRUTH (The Gospel of Jesus Christ) OF GOD (GOD Almighty) FOR The LIE (Satan’s LIES), AND Worshiped AND Served The Creature (Satan), RATHER THAN The CREATOR (GOD Almighty), Who (GOD Almighty) IS BLESSED Forever. Amen.
For THIS REASON, GOD (GOD Almighty) GAVE Them (Unbelievers) UP TO Vile Passions (THROUGH Satan). For EVEN Their (Unbelievers) Women (Female Unbelievers) EXCHANGED The Natural Use (THROUGH GOD Almighty), for what IS AGAINST Nature (THROUGH Satan). Likewise ALSO The Men (Unbelievers), LEAVING The Natural Use (THROUGH GOD Almighty) of The Woman, BURNED IN Their (Male Unbelievers) Lust (THROUGH Satan) for One Another (Male Unbelievers), Men (Male Unbelievers) WITH Men (Male Unbelievers) COMMITTING what is Shameful (THROUGH Satan), and RECEIVING IN Themselves (Unbelievers) The PENALTY (The Second Death) of Their (Unbelievers) ERROR (THROUGH Satan) WHICH WAS DUE.
And EVEN AS They (Unbelievers) did NOT like TO RETAIN GOD (GOD Almighty) IN Their (Unbelievers) Knowledge, GOD (GOD Almighty) GAVE Them (Unbelievers) OVER TO A Debased Mind (THROUGH Satan), TO DO Those Things (THROUGH Satan) which are NOT FITTING; BEING FILLED WITH All Unrighteousness (THROUGH Satan), Sexual Immorality, Wickedness, Covetousness, Maliciousness; Full of Envy, Murder, Strife, Deceit, Evil-Mindedness; They (Unbelievers) ARE Whisperers, Backbiters, HATERS OF GOD (GOD Almighty), Violent, Proud, Boasters, INVENTORS OF Evil Things (THROUGH Satan), Disobedient TO Parents, Undiscerning, Untrustworthy, Unloving, Unforgiving, Unmerciful; Who, KNOWING The Righteous JUDGMENT OF GOD (GOD Almighty), THAT Those (Unbelievers) Who PRACTICE Such Things ARE Deserving OF Death (The Second Death), NOT ONLY DO The Same (Such Things) BUT ALSO Approve of Those (Unbelievers) Who PRACTICE Them (Such Things).
Revelation 20:10, 12-15
The devil (Satan), who DECEIVED Them (Unbelievers), WAS CAST INTO The LAKE of FIRE and BRIMSTONE (The Second Death), WHERE The BEAST (The Antichrist) AND The FALSE Prophet ARE. And They (Satan, The Antichrist, and The FALSE Prophet) will be TORMENTED Day and Night Forever and ever. And I (John) SAW The Dead, Small and Great, STANDING BEFORE GOD (GOD Almighty), and BOOKS WERE OPENED. And Another BOOK WAS OPENED, which IS The BOOK OF LIFE. And The Dead WERE JUDGED according to Their (The Dead’s) Works, BY The Things which were WRITTEN IN The BOOKS. The Sea GAVE UP The Dead who were IN IT (The Sea), and Death and Hades DELIVERED UP The Dead who were IN Them (Death and Hades). And They (The Dead) WERE JUDGED, EACH ONE according to His (The Dead’s) Works. THEN Death and Hades WERE CAST INTO The LAKE OF FIRE. THIS IS The SECOND DEATH. And ANYONE NOT found written IN The BOOK OF LIFE, WAS CAST INTO The LAKE OF FIRE (The Second Death).
Fellow Believers, yes, it may SEEM as though Satan has TAKEN OVER This World (Satan’s World), WHILE GOD Almighty, Jesus Christ, and The Holy Spirit have been PUSHED OUT of This World (Satan’s World), but please remember This TRUTH, GOD Almighty IS ALWAYS IN Control!
Throughout The Holy Bible (BOTH Old Testament AND New Testament), Holy Bible Prophecy REVEALS TO Us (Believers) NOT ONLY what has Already Occurred, BUT ALSO what will TRANSPIRE IN Our (Believers) Future, which is NOW! We (Believers) ARE Living IN The END TIMES, The LAST Days, which Holy Bible Prophecy PREDICTED and DESCRIBED FOR Us (Believers), sometimes in Great Detail.
Has This World (Satan’s World) Gone Insane? Well, the short answer would be, yes, This World (Satan’s World) has gone insane, in the sense that EVERYTHING, which GOES AGAINST GOD Almighty’s Commandments and Statutes, is being granted as SANITY, BY Unbelievers (THROUGH Satan). It’s as IF Their (Unbelievers) Parent (GOD Almighty) REMOVED All Rules and Restrictions for His (GOD Almighty’s) Children (Unbelievers) and ALLOWED His (GOD Almighty’s) Children (Unbelievers) to do whatever They (Unbelievers) Wish (THROUGH Satan).
Romans 1:24a Therefore, GOD (GOD Almighty) also GAVE Them (Unbelievers) UP TO Uncleanness (THROUGH Satan).
Romans 1:25a-b Who (Unbelievers) EXCHANGED The TRUTH (The Gospel of Jesus Christ) OF GOD (GOD Almighty) FOR The LIE (Satan’s LIES), AND Worshiped AND Served The Creature (Satan).
Romans 1:26 For THIS REASON, GOD (GOD Almighty) GAVE Them (Unbelievers) UP TO Vile Passions (THROUGH Satan).
Romans 1:28b GOD (GOD Almighty) GAVE Them (Unbelievers) OVER TO A Debased Mind (THROUGH Satan).
Romans 1:32a Who (Unbelievers) KNOWING The Righteous JUDGMENT OF GOD (GOD Almighty), THAT Those (Unbelievers) Who (Unbelievers) PRACTICE Such Things ARE Deserving OF Death (The Second Death).
BY GOD Almighty’s WORD (The Holy Bible), He (GOD Almighty) HAS REMOVED All Rules and Restrictions FOR His (GOD Almighty’s) Children (Unbelievers), even though They (Unbelievers) KNOW The Repercussions, The Consequences, FOR LISTENING TO The LIE (Satan), and THAT IS Being Cast INTO The Lake of Fire (The Second Death).
Fellow Believers, The Being Caught Up Together May Occur IN The Next Millisecond, BUT Until IT (The Being Caught Up Together) Does, We (Believers) MUST Continue to Share The Gospel of Jesus Christ with EVERYONE Who has Ears to HEAR and Eyes to SEE, The TRUTH. We (Believers) KNOW, We (Believers) Will BE IN GOD Almighty’s Immediate Presence, WITH Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, GOD Almighty’s Holy Angels, and All The Rest of The Children (Believers) of GOD Almighty, for Eternity, Forever. What an Awesome ALTERNATIVE to The Lake of Fire (The Second Death). Amen.
