Why You Shouldn't Serve the god of This World!

Well, praise Jesus everyone. I just have a short message that is on my heart that I want to share. I would like you to imagine something with me, if you will.

Imagine that god called you to be a movie actor and god told you to go into Hollywood and to get famous. And so with all of your might, you went to Hollywood. You did everything you needed to do to become famous. And through your career, you became popular, more famous. You acted in movies. A lot of people looked up to you. They even worshiped you.

Now imagine with me that at some point during your career of movie acting, you start to get dementia. You start to lose your mind. Maybe it's Alzheimer's or something like that. And then you pray and you say, “god, please help me keep my mind. Help me be able to memorize my lines so that I can continue to be in Hollywood and continue to be famous.” But you hear no answer. And so you pray to your god again and no answer. And then you realize your god rejected you. How would that make you feel?

Again, take this example with me. Imagine that god calls you to be a musician. And so with all of your heart, you pursue being a musician, and you compose and you become a famous composer, maybe like Mozart or Beethoven or someone like that. And then you start to lose your hearing and you go deaf. And then you go and you pray and you say, “god, please give me my hearing back so that I can compose music and write more music for you and compel more people into this kingdom.” And you hear that god has rejected you. And because you have failed as a musician, because you lost your ears, you are no longer needed. You are no longer accepted. And you have no value to god.

Imagine with me again. Your god calls you to be a famous athlete, maybe a snowboarder, maybe a BMX or downhill mountain biker, and you put all your effort forward to go full throttle with your sport. And as you get famous in your sport, you get hundreds of thousands of views, millions of views on YouTube. Everyone loves you. Everyone shares your videos. They think you're crazy because you have so much passion for your sport like no one else does. Then imagine you break your neck. Imagine you get injured and you no longer can do your sport. And so then you pray to your god, and you hear nothing from your god. And you say, “god, help me. Let me be able to walk on my legs again. Let me be able to use my arms again. Let me be able to use my muscles again.” And your god says, “No, I have rejected you. You are trash to me. You're no longer valuable to me because you cannot do your duty which I called you to do.” Imagine that.

That is exactly what the god of this world does to us. If we serve Satan and Satan calls us into whatever lust we wanted to give our life to—whether that was a hobby, whether that was music, whatever we used our talent for, but not for the kingdom of heaven, but for the kingdom of Satan—eventually when we lose that skill, because all of us one day will lose our talent, so whatever our ability is, our physical strength, one day that will be lost because all of us are physical beings on this earth. And when that is lost, we no longer have any value to Satan. That is why you see people only for a time climb the ladder and only for a time are popular, and then Satan ends their life. He reaps their souls and he takes them straight to hell. That is the god of this world.

Praise Jesus everyone that we as Christians do not serve Satan. We don't serve the god of this world or the principalities of the air. We serve a God who loves and cares for us because he made us. And just as God is Father, Son, and Spirit, he created us in his image to have a physicality. We have a physical body. So we are like God in that we are three in one. We have a spirit. We have a mind. And we have physical flesh. But all of us—our mind, our body, our spirit—we have to put in submission to the one true God.

And instead of buying Satan's lie that we can follow our lust and dedicate everything to our lust, instead we need to cast our crown before the one true living God and say, “Lord, use me for your heavenly purpose that has value beyond this earth.” And that way when you get old and your physical muscles can no longer climb the mountain or ride in the halfpipe on your skateboard or your mountain bike, then you will still have value because God cherishes you because He made you. Satan did not make you. The devil did not create you. We have a creator in heaven and we were created in God's image.

We're not monkeys. We're not cats. We're not the creation of the earth. Animals belong to the earth and their spirit belongs to this earth. When an animal dies, its flesh rots in the ground and its spirit belongs to the earth. But when a human dies, our flesh goes into the grave, but our spirit goes to be with the Spirit of God. That is if we had our faith in Jesus and if we dedicated our spirit to the Spirit of life.

Sadly, most people are dedicating their life to Satan, and they will be rejected by Satan in the end because Satan hates you. He hates me. He hates people that worship him. It doesn't matter how loyal you are to Satan. It doesn't matter how good-looking you are. It doesn't matter how much you shed innocent blood for Satan. He will continue to hate you no matter how evil or how good you are. It is difficult to serve a god that hates your guts.

So why would we serve Satan? One day we will lose our physical capability. We will not be able to rely on the arm of our flesh. And at that moment, if we were not serving God, we will realize that our God despised us and hated us and rejected us long ago. And we have no hope. The sons and the daughters of this world have no hope. They put their hope in the arm of the flesh, they put their hope in their sports, their education. They put their hope in physical money, in the banks. They put their hope in their family that can't save them in the end either. All of their hopes are in things that are vanishing, like vapor. They put their hope in chasing after a rainbow, and they never get there. All the hopes of this world are vanishing.

But guess what? We know the end of the story if we've read the Bible. We know that our God wins. We know Jehovah God wins. We know that the serpent may bruise our heel, but we crush his head. That is, if we're with Jesus. Jesus crushes the head of the serpent. In the end, Jesus wins. The devil doesn't win, but he will take many Christians to hell who had their faith in the arm of the flesh, who trusted in their own riches, who trusted in their own might, who are trying to pull themselves up by the laces of their own bootstraps.

Is our trust really in Jesus, or have we put our trust in the arm of the flesh? I hope this message can encourage someone to not serve the god of the world, but put their faith in the God of the universe—the God that created you, me, and every single person; who created us in his image; and who loves us unconditionally because we are his most cherished creation. Satan didn't create you. Satan didn't create me. Evolution didn't create us. We're not here by chance. We have a creator who created us and who loves us and will love us even to the end.

But we do have to trust him and obey him. Cast our crowns before him. And everything we do, we have to do for the glory of God. It reminds me of that parable of the men that were given talents. And the one that was given more talents, he gained even more talents with that. But the one fellow who only had one talent, he thought he would play it safe. And he took his one talent and he buried it in the ground. And he said, “I'm going to play it safe.” And when my master returns, I will just give this one talent back to him. But when the master came and asked for the talent, this lazy servant had nothing to give except the one talent back. And the master said, “Take from what is his and give it to the one that has 10 talents and cast him out into outer darkness where there’s weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

We cannot play it safe. God hasn’t called us to just hide our talents and use it for our own ability but rather to call people into the marvelous light. Remember the Great Commission, which sometimes is referred to as the Great Commission is to call all people, nations, and tongues to put their faith in Jesus Christ.

We want people to follow Jesus because all power and all authority has been given to him. Therefore, we want to go out and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that Jesus says—not the way of church, not the way of Christian Bible study or Christian religion or their tradition. A lot of Christians are following the way of their fathers that never heard from Jesus. They’re following their traditions. But we want to teach people to trust and obey Jesus so that they will have life, that more may hear the master’s voice, be his sheep, and enter into his kingdom.

In this world, everyone thinks it’s cool to be a wolf. They look down on sheep. But little do they know that the wolf—the leader of the wolves, the pack leader—hates them just as much as he hates the sheep. He hates the wolf, and he takes both sheep and wolves to hell that will follow him.

Follow the one that loves you and cares for your soul. Follow the one who we already know wins in the end. His name is Jesus. He loves you. He cares for you. And if you have a desire to go the right direction, then pray to Jesus. Ask him to cleanse you from unrighteousness. Ask him to help you repent of your sins, that you can confess your sins and do a 180 and then follow him with all of your heart.

So I want to pray for those of you that want an ear to hear and eyes to see so that we won’t be deceived by Satan, the god of this world, who only “loves" people—“loves” people—as long as they look like they're doing good for him.

So Lord Jesus, I pray for those who have an ear to hear and eyes to see today. I pray for someone who may hear this message and wants to get rid of their demons, who wants to cast evil out of their life, who wants to bind Satan as the strong man and be able to attack and take back what is theirs—taking back our faith, taking back our relationship with you, taking back a sound mind, taking back our peace, all of the things that Satan steals when we give our life over to the bondage of sin.

I pray that someone hearing this message today could renounce evil, could renounce their addictions, could renounce sin and come into your marvelous light. I pray for those that want an ear to hear, that want eyes to see, that want restoration with you, Lord Jesus. I pray that you can come and touch their heart, purify them from unrighteousness, and lead them and guide them into everlasting life. I pray that we can hear your voice, be your sheep, and that we would eat your flesh and drink your blood and not be a part of the harlot church system or dead religion or things that draw our hearts away from your kingdom. I pray this in your name, Lord Jesus. Amen.

YES, the Christian Church is Full of Hypocrites

There's no doubt in my mind that if I lived during the same time as the Apostle Paul or Timothy or Silas or any of these early apostles that were in the church, if I lived during that same time and was an acquaintance or a friend of Paul or Timothy or Barnabas, if I also had written letters, people would be reading those today. And although they actually don't have my same spirit—that is, the Spirit of God in me working—they would agree with those letters. They would try to align them with their theology.

But guess what, guys? I didn’t live 2,000 years ago. I’m still alive today, and I am preaching the gospel of Jesus today. And this is what I can say: the majority of people that think that they are for Paul and for his letters and for all the Old Testament prophets, they’re actually in stark contradiction to them. The only reason they uphold them is because they would be called a heretic by their church. If they were actually fighting against Paul or Timothy or any of these books of the Bible, they’d be called a heretic. They wouldn’t have a job.

So the best these people can do—when I say these people, I mean Christians, theologians, pastors in the church today—the very best they can do is pretend that they agree with Paul and with Timothy and with the books of the New Testament and with the prophets of the Old Testament. And when they come across those pages that they don’t agree with, they leave those pages out or they interpret them in such a way that they totally twist it to mean something it never meant.

Now, here is the great thing: because I am alive today, I can stand up for the true gospel of Jesus. I can say that the church of today is not preaching the same gospel as the Apostle Paul. They are not in the same truth or in the same Spirit as the holy prophets. They are not in the same Spirit of Jesus. They are in rebellion. They are the Laodicean church. They’re the lukewarm church.

If the prophets were alive today, they would hate them. They would slander them. They likely would have them thrown in prison. They would beat them the same way that their fathers beat them in the times of old. These people that have already passed away in faith can no longer stand up for themselves because they are dead. They’re gone, and their soul is in heaven with Jesus—thank goodness.

But for those of us who are still alive and remain, it is our duty to preach righteousness—not in the twisted way pretending that we are friends with the apostles and with the holy prophets, but it is our duty to stand with Jesus even in opposition. And so today I am telling you that the American church and the churches at large are against the prophets. They would kill them today if they walked into their church, or at least have them thrown out. They are against the New Testament. They are against the words of Jesus.

And all of the apostles, all of the brothers and sisters who really love Jesus—the church of today flat out rejects for their doctrines, for their doctrines of demons. The old church, that is, those that really were Christ's body, those who were doing His work—work such as the Apostle Paul and Barnabas and Titus—these guys really loved the Lord with all of their heart. They weren’t telling people that it’s “once saved, always saved” or “believe in John MacArthur” or “just believe in John Calvin.” They weren’t teaching this Calvinistic theology. They weren’t teaching that.

Now, you could twist Paul’s theology to try to come up with some kind of Calvinistic theology or some kind of predestination theology, but that is not the true gospel, guys. Jesus called us to really repent of our sins, and that unless we endured with Him, taking up our cross and following Him to the end of our life, we would not inherit everlasting life. We wouldn’t be worthy of Him and His calling.

So many Christians today are promoting the Bible. They worship the Bible. They worship the old church fathers as if they agree with them. But they are in stark contradiction to everyone who really loved Jesus and who was dedicated to the Way. These people persecute the Way in the same way that the Pharisees and the Sadducees did, in the same way that every wicked person who hated God did. And the Christians today are no different. They are Pharisees. They are lukewarm. They are Laodicean, and they have blood on their hands because they say that they believe and accept the testimony of Jesus. They say that they’re friends with the prophets, but in reality they hate them every bit as much as the Pharisees and the religious Jews hated Jesus and all of the original disciples. They have blood on their hands.

How about you? Do you really love Jesus? Are you dedicated to Jesus Christ in the true gospel? Or have you sold out to the marketable gospel—the gospel that makes money for Americans? The gospel that makes people look good, that sounds good, that’s socially acceptable. The gospel that says, “Once saved, always saved, brother, God just pinned it all up on the cross when Jesus died. Now you don’t have to do anything but lust. Now you don’t have to do anything but look at porn and you’ll go to heaven.” Brother, have you bought into that gospel?

Too many Christians are completely deceived. They’re listening to every spirit. They have convinced themselves that they’re like Bereans, that they’re more noble, seeking the truth because they read the Bible. I want to read to you what Jesus said about those who read the Bible thinking that they’re more biblical. This is what Jesus said in John chapter 5 to the Pharisees who also read the Bible:

“And ye have not His word abiding in you; for whom He hath sent Him you do not believe. You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and they are they that testify of Me. And you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life.”

So are we coming to Jesus, or are we acting like the pursuit of finding God is actually righteous? Are we pretending that this pursuit of becoming a good Christian is righteous in and of itself? Even New Age people believe that. They act like they are these pilgrims looking for truth and that we should deify the pursuit of truth. That’s not the truth. The pursuit of truth is not the truth. Jesus is the Truth. We know who the Truth is. Jesus Himself is the Truth. He’s the Life and He’s the Way. And unless you follow Him—unless you actually follow Him—you don’t have life in you. Unless you bear your cross daily, deny yourself, and go after Him, you do not have life.

Stop believing the apostate Babylon church. Come out of her. Be separate. Touch not what is unclean. Allow Jesus to come into your life and purge you from sin. Purge you from all the evil that you put into your mind through music and movies and sermons, Bible study that wasn’t of God, men’s ideas. Be purged of all of that junk. Be purged of the dung and come to follow Jesus and obey Him. Store His words up in your heart. Meditate on Jesus’s words. Read the gospel and then live like you mean it—that you will obey Jesus with every last breath you have, with all your energy, all your passion, all your devotion. Give it to Jesus.

But if you don’t have life in Him, if you’re not practicing obedience, how do you think that you as a lukewarm Laodicean Christian will be able to stand before God and say, “Let me in, Jesus. I preach sermons. I listen to sermons”? How do you feel entitled to go to heaven if you are not fully dedicated to the Way such as the Apostle Paul was, and Peter, and Timothy, and all of these people that were dedicated to the gospel and gave their life for it? How do you feel so entitled that you’re safe and secure and going to heaven and your name is in the Lamb’s Book of Life when you have never even heard that your name is in the Lamb’s Book of Life? How are you so sure that you’re safe and secure going to heaven? It’s probably because you believed your pastor’s lies, your church doctrine, maybe your parents who tried to assure you of their religion. But did you really hear it from Jesus? Do you know that your name is in the registry of heaven? Is your name in the Lamb’s Book of Life? Do you know Jesus? And more importantly, do you know that Jesus knows you and approves of the life that you are living today?

Should a Dedicated Christian Preach CHURCH?

 I am a dedicated Christian, or rather a disciple who obeys Jesus. I am dedicated to obey the Lord every single day. And I choose to daily pick up my cross and live by the words of Jesus. I’ve read the New Testament many times. I know the words of Jesus and, the best I possibly can, I put the words of Jesus Christ into action in my life.

I also want to see other people repent, turn from their sin, turn from doing what they know is wrong, and do what is right. I want to see marriages that flourish and are healed. I want to see spouses who really love one another and who raise their family, who teach their children to obey God. I want to see communities changed. And like you, I want to see more people come into the household of faith.

But there is something that is different about me, and that is although I am a Christian, although my loyalty is to Jesus, I cannot in good conscience preach church. I can’t tell people that a revival is happening in church. I cannot go and tell people, “Find a good gathering of Christians and get in there.” Why is that? Why don’t I tell people, like everyone else, to go find a support group, to go find other Christians?

That is because the Christian church of today is the Babylon church system. The devil has infiltrated it. The devil is inside the church. And my testimony is that when I put my faith fully in Jesus, He called me out of the church that I was in. And He told me that the church system was as a prostitute or a harlot, as a whorehouse. Because as men go to a prostitute for sex, and it’s not true love, the world is going to church not to really find the truth, not to really repent and follow Jesus, but for sensuality.

And today the Babylon church, or Babylon the Great, the great harlot, is deceiving the whole world. Babylon the Great, or the church Babylon system, is the wide path to hell. It’s the wide path to destruction. And many Christians are on this path. Many Christians preach, “Go to church, find a gathering, find a good church, don’t give up the fellowship.”

But I preach Jesus Christ—that He died, He resurrected. But more than that, you have to personally know Him, hear His voice, and follow Him. And you can’t touch things that are unclean. The Babylon church system is unclean. And those that sleep in her bed are defiled.

I had a dream last night that I saw someone and their family that I knew, someone in the community. I did not know that they were Christians, but in my dream, they had gone to church only because it was the time that they would have pictures taken of their family, and then those pictures would go into the church directory. The only reason why they wanted their pictures taken is so that then when others would see their picture in the church directory, they would recognize their face and say, “Oh, they’re good churchgoing people. I’ll support their business.”

The church runs just as a business. The church plays the prostitute. They’re about their own business, their own kingdom. But if we really love Jesus, we will be separate. We will not touch what is unclean. We will stop going into the prostitute house, and we will start holding Jesus’ hand and revealing the wickedness of the Babylon church system.

So my question for you today is: Do you see it? Do you see the hypocrisy in church, or are you deceived by Babylon the Great like the majority of the Christians? Or have you been so turned off by church, like much of the world, that you have rejected Jesus because of the hypocrisy of Babylon the Great?

I want to encourage you today to come into the hands of Jesus. He loves you. He cares for you. But He also calls us to touch nothing that is unclean. If we choose to receive Him and push off the world and come out of the world, He will cleanse us from our unrighteousness. He will purge us. He will put on our new robes. He will give us a new mind and a new heart. And then we have to go with Him and endure with Him through trials, tribulations, even to the very end of our life—even if no one else goes with us.

I’m sure that I look silly making this message. I’m sure there are people who will disagree. But I don’t care. It is my goal to please Jesus and to honor Him and to please Him to the very end of my life.

Howard Pittman's testimony

 In a near-death experience this is what God told Howard Pitman, verbatim, although he was a good Baptist preacher and teacher with many Christian works: 

"Your faith is dead

your works are in vain

 the life that you lived and offered to Me as a life of Christian service is an Abomination that I rejected in the Pharisee 

What made you think I would accept it from a Laodicean type Christian?

 Infact, untold millions are living the same kind of life that you live and they stand in danger of my Everlasting Wrath"  - The Living God 

The unsettling truth about Christianity

 I would hope that everyone in our government would become Christians. I would hope that everyone would be a supporter of pro-life and against abortion. I would hope that everyone would be against illegal immigration and against drugs and alcohol and sex outside of marriage, fornication, and adultery. All of these principles I wish the whole world was for.

However, just because you are a Christian patriot or you are a Christian activist or you believe in the principles of Christianity is not in and of itself enough to enter into the kingdom of God. Remember that Jesus Himself said, "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter into the kingdom of God, but those that do the will of my Father in heaven."

We need to make sure that we have a very intimate and real relationship with Jesus such as Steven did, such as even the apostle Paul did who previously was killing Christians. We need to make sure that we have received the Spirit of truth and that we are doing exactly what the Spirit of truth is calling us to do. Too many Christians are serving God their way and they appear godly before men, but they're not fruitful for the kingdom of God.

This is very sad because there are very, very good men. Men that are doing wonderful things. And I would hope that there are more good men and more good women. But being good in and of itself does not bring about the righteousness that God wants for us. The way to everlasting life is already known. It is already been made. And that way is through Jesus.

But we can't just believe in the cross. All of us as Christians know that Jesus died. He resurrected. He made the way for us through His blood on the cross. But the portion of the gospel that is not being taught or followed rather in church is that we also have to bear our cross. Whoever does not bear their cross is not worthy of the kingdom of God. They're not worthy of Jesus because they're not proving their salvation by what they do. They have no fruit to prove their repentance.

Too many Christians think everything was pinned on the cross. They think they're entitled to go to heaven because they said a prayer in the past and now they're just going to heaven. Without a daily relationship with Jesus, we are not eating His flesh nor drinking His blood. We're not living on the daily.

Make sure that you have a real relationship with Jesus. Make sure that you have really repented of your sins because without righteousness and without this daily bread from God, you certainly aren't entering into heaven. Even if you're a Christian activist, even if you're going to church, paying tithes, doing all these good things in the world, you need Jesus.

Jesus is the way to everlasting life. You need to profess Him as your Lord, your King, your Savior, your God. You need to say, "Lord Jesus, open my eyes to see you. Open my ears to hear you. I profess you as my Savior." And then you need to hold on to Him and obey everything He tells you to do. You cannot serve God your way. Too many Christians are serving God their own way. They're bringing their own sacrifice to God. It's called the Cain sacrifice.

But how do we sacrifice like Abel? How do we bring the sacrifice that God accepts, not the sacrifice that we bring to God that He rejects? Remember that Cain also brought a sacrifice, but God rejected that. We want to bring the sacrifice to God that is well pleasing to Him. And we know that comes by obeying the words of Jesus.

Are you today obeying the words of Jesus? Are you a fruitful son or daughter who is in connection to God through the Son? Or do you just feel entitled to go to heaven? Believe that you're going to heaven because you have good deeds, because you speak a lot about God, because you read the Bible, you lead Bible study, you go to church. Do you feel like you're going to heaven because of your deeds?

Or are you entering into the kingdom of God because you're holding Jesus's hand and he is leading you there? Make sure you're not deceived by Christian patriotism or by Christian activism or by just being a good Christian that goes to church. Make sure that you really repent, that you receive Jesus as your Lord, your King, your God, and that you're led by His Holy Spirit. Unless you're eating Jesus's flesh and drinking His blood, you have no life.

Combating Trite and Cliche Christianity

 Combating Trite and Cliche Christianity

Well, praise Jesus. Today, everyone, I wanted to make a video on this topic about combating against trite Christianity and cliché Christianity.

Because Christianity, for many people, has become just a religion. It's become very fake. It's all about church, all about the book, all about tithing, all about things that do not have life in it. But genuine Christianity is all about Jesus, the living God, and a working relationship with Him.

Now, there are some sayings that go around in the Christian church that are just very cliché, very trite. And I often hear Christians saying these sayings, and it just makes me sad, because these Christians may have a good heart, they may want to know the truth, but they're very deceived by dead religion, and they're stunted in their faith.

I want to read to you just a few of these clichés you've probably heard in church, and then I want to talk about one of them in particular. One of the clichés that you hear Christians saying is: “God won't give you more than you can handle.” Have you heard that one? It's just kind of a trite saying. It's kind of this saying that everyone has heard in church, and it doesn't really mean anything to anyone anymore.

Or how about: “Everything happens in God's kingdom for a reason”? Or how about: “Just have faith, brother, just have faith”? Or how about this one: “Love the sinner but hate the sin”? That's how it goes.

Okay, so how about: “Well, God is good all the time. All the time, God is good.” That's one of those clichés that you hear the pastor say and then the congregation echo. The pastor says: “God is good,” and then the congregation says: “All the time. All the time, God is good.” Well, of course, He is. But what does that mean to us?

How about this one: “When God closes a door, He opens a window”?

But here is the one that I want to talk about. Here's a cliché that I heard someone say the other day, and that is: “We just got to continue to be faithful.” I've heard a lot of Christians say that: “We just have to continue to be faithful.” Praise Jesus, everyone.

This statement begs: what do we think that it means to be faithful? What does it mean to be faithful or to have faith? Does faith just mean that you are faithful to your religion, that you're faithful to your way of life, that you're faithful to the Bible? What does it mean to have faith?

To a lot of my ancestors, to be faithful just meant to keep up your church faithfully, to read the Bible faithfully. When my mom was a little girl, my grandpa told my mom—actually he made her promise—that she would read the Bible faithfully every day, because to my grandparents, faith meant reading the Bible religiously, memorizing Bible verses.

I remember when my grandpa would come over—before we would get up from the table, whether it was breakfast or dinner—we had to quote a Bible verse. And if you couldn’t quote a Bible verse, you couldn't get up from breakfast or dinner. You just had to quote that verse before you got up. So we would always try to find verses in the Bible that were short, like “Jesus wept,” or something like that, because it was just something to check off the list, to get done. But that, to people in my family, was equated with faith.

A few things that make up a false faith are a faith in church attendance—thinking that you're faithful because you go to church, thinking that you're faithful because you read the Bible, thinking that you're faithful because you tithe, or thinking that you're faithful because you regularly donate to your community or go on mission trips or something like that.

But I want to talk about what true faith is. What does it mean to actually be faithful? And if we say we just got to continue to be faithful, what does that actually mean?

I want to read to you what Jesus said about this in Matthew chapter 24, because it means something very particular to be one of God's faithful ones. This is titled “The Faithful Servant and the Evil Servant.” So, let's figure out what they're doing to be faithful or evil.

“Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his master made ruler over his household, to give them food in due season?” That's interesting, because that means that if we are faithful, we are communing with God. You can't be receiving food unless you're eating food. And we know that that spiritual food is the bread of life which comes down from heaven. Jesus claimed to be that bread of life.

He is our communion. That's why we eat Jesus's flesh and drink His blood. Communion is not the holy Eucharist eaten in the Catholic church. And it's not that bread and grape juice that you have once a month in the Baptist church. But real communion is hearing from God in your soul. Remember that Jesus said: “Man does not live on bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.”

So, number one: if you are God's faithful son or daughter, you're communing with Jesus, you've received His Holy Spirit, and you're not just living on bread and wine, but you're living on Jesus's body. You're eating His flesh, you're drinking His blood because you hear His voice and you're putting into practice the things that He tells you to obey.

And if you're doing that, if you're eating Jesus's flesh and drinking His blood, then you are also doing something. You are telling others, or you're feeding others. You're telling others the things that Jesus has told you, because you love your neighbor as you love yourself. That's why Jesus says to give them food in due season.

The day in which we're living, very, very few Christians are bringing sinners to repentance. They're bringing sinners to church, and they're gladly telling those sinners that everyone is a sinner. And they're right—everyone in their church is a sinner. But where they go wrong is telling sinners that they don't have to repent. If sinners remain sinners, and they're just faithful to their church to continue to sin, then no one is eating Jesus's flesh, no one is drinking His blood, no one is being nourished, and no one is hearing those words of life that will bring them into the new covenant.

So first, if we are faithful, we need to be eating Jesus's flesh. And then we need to be preaching the gospel, calling others to repent, calling others to the holy life that they may also repent of their sins and also be in communion with God.

What Jesus says about that servant is: “Blessed is that servant whom his master, when he comes, will find so doing.” But as we know, when Jesus comes, will He find faith on the earth? Very few people will be doing what He called, because they are part of this false faithfulness—this really trite and cliché faithfulness that just says: “Just go to church, brother. Just pay your tithe, brother. Just read the Bible, brother.” But it's a very trite, fake Christianity, and we don't want to fall into that.

“Assuredly I say to you that he will make him ruler over all his goods.” But then, on the other hand, what does Jesus say to the trite or the cliché Christian—the one who is not really abiding in His love, the one who is not eating His flesh, drinking His blood, or calling others to repent?

“But if that evil servant says in his heart: ‘My master is delaying his coming,’ and begins to beat his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with drunkards, the master of that servant will come on a day when he is not looking for him, and at an hour that he is not aware of, and will cut him in two, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

So those that do good in the eyes of God and have genuine faith—they are greatly rewarded. But those that do evil, that are sinful in the eyes of God—they are not rewarded. They're cut in two and they're assigned their portion with the hypocrites.

There is a false gospel going on in the church right now that says: “All of us are sinners, and God just loves everyone the same, and He will just allow everyone into heaven.” This is a false doctrine, guys. Why do we think hell even exists if everyone goes to heaven?

Christians will have another cliché saying. They will say: “Well, hell was created for those demons and for Satan. It wasn't created for humans.” Well, that is true. But why do humans end up in hell? It is because so many, even Christians, have chosen to reject salvation by living trite and godless lives. They love darkness more than the truth because their deeds are evil. They refuse to repent. They refuse to call other Christians to repentance. And instead, they are drawing them into this dead, trite religion.

We need to call people out of this trite and dead, cliché religion and call people to really commune with God so that they can be alive—that they can also eat Jesus's flesh, drink His blood, and be part of the new covenant. You need to be part of the new covenant if you want new life.

Remember that Jesus calls us to be a new creation—that the old would be put in the grave, that the old man would be killed, put to death, and that the new man, the spiritual man, would come to life.

If we allow the Spirit to come to life in us, then He will lead us into everlasting life. We won't be trite Christians or cliché, but we will be living on that bread of life, and we'll also be encouraging fellow brothers and sisters with the words that we have heard when we are in prayer.

Have you been in prayer? Have you been listening to the Holy Spirit? Have you been putting the words of Jesus into action in your life? Or do you only have these trite sayings: “God won't give you more than you can handle. Everything happens for a reason. Just have faith. We got to continue to be faithful, brother.”

Are these the false cliché sayings that are coming off of your tongue as a Christian? Or do you have the real sayings of Jesus in your heart because you have been in prayer and you yourself have been in communion with God?

I want to pray for those of you that want communion with God and that want to repent of your sins and live in the newness of life.

“ Lord Jesus, I pray for my brothers and sisters who want genuine faith, who want to be separate from the world of perversion, hatred of God, every kind of corruption and wickedness. I pray that they would just come out of what is evil and do what is good, that You would save their souls, that they would come out of the smoke of the burning fire, and that they would come into the newness of life, and that You would save them from the flames.

I pray that someone listening today could give their life to You, that they would really repent of their sins and learn to hear Your voice and eat Your flesh and drink Your blood and come into the new covenant. The new covenant, Lord, we know is what saves us. It is Your blood, what You have done for us on the cross.

And we want to accept You, Lord Jesus, as our Lord and our Savior. And we want to follow You wherever You lead us. So I pray for those that are listening today, that someone may give their life to You and repent from dead religion and cliché Christianity and really follow You with all of their heart.

In Your name I pray, Lord Jesus. Amen.”

What is a good church?

 A church is only as good as the people that are there. If you want to be good you have to be obedient to Jesus Christ and abide in His love.  None of us are good on our own. But if we repent and receive the Holy Spirit, which comes from the Father, He will refine us and make us please to GOD!
