Sharing a Dream I had of a Civil Rights Activist That is in Hell

We'll praise Jesus today everyone. I feel very blessed to be able to share this message with you today without the fear that I will be fired from being a pastor or fired from my workplace or fired from an organization. I don't work for the church anymore. I don't work for an organization. I don't belong to anyone like that. Therefore, I can bring the gospel free of charge because I'm not paid to receive anyone's money to preach the gospel, and that is truly a blessing. 


See, when you are part of an organization that stands for some religious cause and they're the ones that pay you, then you have to stand behind their organization, and you can only speak about what they allow you to speak for. When you are separate from them, when you belong to Jesus Christ and you're owned by the Lord Jesus Christ, then you're his property, and you can speak, speak about whatever he calls you to speak about. 


The devil doesn't want me to speak this message today, and I have no doubt that I would be fired if I preached this message in church or at any other pulpit, but I bring to you this message because it is the truth, and this message was given to me by divine revelation from God, and I want to share it with you. 


So, in a dream during the night or close to the morning, probably around 4:00 a.m. or so in the morning, I had this vision or this dream. I was completely asleep, but I had this vision while I was in my sleep, and I saw a certain person. I saw this person through a period of time from when she was young to when she was old and to the point where she died, and then she had a museum made after her. Actually, the museum was her own house that I believe that was restored, and all her items of her house or many of the items that she had done throughout her life were in this house, and people to this day still praise and they worship this lady. 


Now, I have no idea who this person is. In my dream, I did not know who this person is or everything she stood for, but let me explain who she is because she can most likely fit identically someone that is in real life, although I don't know the name of this person in real life. In my dream, this person's name was Anna. That was the name that she was born with in my dream, but she somehow along the way, I believe, changed her name or at least she had a different name that was popularized so that people that read her literature would recognize her by that name. 


When this lady was young, she had many different personalities, things that she believed about herself, attributes about herself that she believed that were not true. They were lies, they were fantasies she would make up. She often believed that she was a boy when she was actually a girl, and as she grew older, she would openly speak about this sort of thing, and there were people that didn't approve, but other people that did. In my dream, this girl, I couldn't quite tell if she was a boy or a girl. I knew she was most likely a girl, but often when I would see her as she was growing, she looked an awful lot like a boy, and she liked that aspect about herself. 


This person, as far as I could tell in my dream, looked like she was black or at least she was half black, and by the time she died, she looked like she was maybe, I don't know, I'm guessing maybe 75, 80 years old. She had kind of short, curly hair, but she appeared to me to be a black lady or at least half black, and she became a very popular activist, not just for black people, but for people that were homosexual or transgender, people that were completely against God. 


And in my dream, this lady was an artist. She would write all sorts of literature that then other people would publish, and people would look at, and people would basically worship who were part of that sort of culture, and as this lady grew more and more popular promoting her worldview, she eventually died, and I saw that she had her face engraved into what looked like it was iron or steel or maybe something volcanic, something like that, and I saw it far up on like a mountain, and in my dream, I believed it was something that she created like a self-image to herself, and I could see that in that image, you know, she looked like an older lady, you know, 60, 70 years old, and that basically encapsulated what she looked like to other people, you know, an African-American woman, I perceive. I believe that she was African-American, but anyways, people basically worshiped this lady because she was black and because she was homosexual and the things that she stood for. 


So, after she died, and again, this is all in my dream, I saw that they brought back her house, and her house that was brought back, the inside of it, they refurnished to have many of the things she had as she was a girl. So, I saw things that maybe were like dolls, and these different dolls symbolized different ways she visualized herself. 


One of those dolls that she had looked to me like it was a lizard, and it was like a demon. I knew that all of these things portrayed who she was spiritually, and as I walked through her house, and I saw the different things she wrote, and I heard the different people speaking about her and praising her and basically worshiping her for her false ideas, I could hear the spirit of God speaking that she was in hell, and I remember thinking in my dream, I can't tell this to anyone because I am in her house, and if I say it, these people will, they'll slaughter me, they'll kill me if I am in her house, and all of them are worshiping her, and if I bring this out, I'm going to be in big trouble. I'll be fired from my job, I'll be let go from wherever I'm here.


 And so in my dream, I kept quiet, and as I left her house, I knew that this person was in hell, and the whole life she lived was a lie. All the different personalities she brought up, all the different aspects she brought up about life, all was a huge, huge lie, yet people to the present time worship this lady for what she believed and what she did as if she was valiant, as if she was courageous, and they praised her for being a civil rights activist, for being a feminist, for standing up for what they believe to be women's rights, but this lady never became the person of God that the Lord Jesus Christ wanted her to be. She never was that person, even though she was made in the image of God. She never became the person God wanted her to be. 


She became the image of the devil because she worshiped the devil, and then the devil upheld her image so that other people could worship her image and fall down before that image, that the false image that she was molded into would also mold other people and bring them to hell. 


This dream that I had represents a large number of people that follow after false idols in the world, people that worship the devil, and there are many people that uphold homosexuals, transgenders, women's rights activists, feminists, people that are upholding all of these things, things that seem so wonderful and praiseworthy to the world, but these people are in hell. If they don't repent and put their faith in Jesus and start preaching holiness and righteousness and living for that, they will be damned for their damnable beliefs. 


I am here to warn you and to warn others that hell is real, and these people are ending up in hell because they are not righteous. The world will of course say that they are saints, that they are beautiful people, and they were beautiful people, they were created in the image of God, but unless we repent of our sins and throw off hypocrisy, throw off worshiping self and making these false images and engraved images of ourselves, then the devil's going to take us to hell, and the devil is taking many people to hell, including Christians, many good people the devil is taking to hell because these people never worship God, they never live for Jesus Christ his way, they live for themselves, they worship themselves, and they are molded into the image of the Antichrist. They worship the beast, they bow down to the beast, and they let Satan, the serpent, take them to hell, the same snake that deceived Eve. Even though Eve and Adam were created in the image of God, they listened to the serpent, and they listened to that, and it took them to hell. 


In the same way, many people today are listening to the snake. They can't hear Jesus. The closest they get to hearing Jesus is maybe they crack open their Bible, and they read a little bit of that, and then they get deceived right after that because they go and listen to people.


But if you want the truth, you need to get to know the truth. The truth is Jesus Christ himself. Jesus said that he is the truth, he is the way, and he is life. So, are you in the truth today, or are you deceived by all of the fantasies of this world, all of the art that is put out by this world, all the musicians that are lying to people, all of the pastors, all of the church organizations, all of the false prophets? Are you deceived by that? 


How about all of the false truths that are put out on the internet about all sorts of different things? Are you deceived by that, or have you really put your faith in Jesus? Do you cling to him? Do you live by his words? Do you practice what Jesus taught? Do you know the Beatitudes, for example? Do you know what Jesus taught in the Book of John, Matthew, Luke? Do you know what happened in the Book of Acts? Have you read these things, and have you put the words of Jesus into practice, or have you been deceived by men who lie, that make pedestals of themselves, their organizations, but who lead people away from God? 


Don't be led by sinful men. Don't be led by so-called prophets or leaders of the church. Don't join yourself into an organization or to a church that when you hear from God, then you back away from his words so that you will please people. Rather, disconnect, disconnect from the false churches, disconnect from homosexuality, disconnect from all the theologians who say they know God but who are hypocrites. 


Disconnect from men and connect yourself to Jesus. Make him your teacher, make him your leader, make him your guide so that then he can put in you his Holy Spirit, that he can teach you his ways and clean you out of your old self that believed lies and followed after the devil that was deceived by this world. I want to encourage those of you that have been deceived to put your faith in the Lord, and I want to pray with you. 


“Lord Jesus, I pray for those that want to receive your gospel, that want to be set free from the bondage of sin and of darkness and of this satanic culture that we live in. I know so many students today, so many kids today, so many adults are in the bondage of sin because they have listened to the Antichrist, they've listened to the beast, they listened to the snake, and the devil is taking them to hell. I pray that those who have an ear to hear today may hear, that they may repent, and that they would put on righteousness, and that you would clothe them, that you would cloak them in your purity and in your righteousness, and that you would cleanse them from all unrighteousness. 


Give them a new heart, a new mind, and let them receive the gospel of the truth. Let them receive your Holy Spirit, let them be filled with your Holy Spirit and not the false lies of the Christian church that has received homosexuality in every sort of perversion under the sun. I pray that we can be separate from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil and that we would just receive the Tree of Life, your life, Lord. So, I pray for the listener that is listening today that may have an ear, that you would open his or her ear, that they would hear your truth, not my voice, but that they would hear your voice, Lord, and come into your kingdom and be saved and receive your New Covenant. In your name, I pray, Lord Jesus, amen.”

Good tree good soil good fruit


Good Tree Good Soil Good Fruit

Well, praise Jesus, everyone. The words of Jesus are very convicting. Jesus often speaks to me in dreams, and He gives me words that then I contemplate. And often it's to correct me, to chastise me, to build me up in righteousness. And when I hear something from the Lord that I don't like, I have to change what I'm doing to be bearing good fruit. One of the things Jesus showed me by the way of a dream was not to have bad fellowship with people, not to have fruitless conversations. See, it's really easy for us, especially if we're nice people, to just engage in conversations that then become fruitful, not because we want to be unfruitful for God, but because we just want to be likable and to be able to get along with others. Jesus wants us to be able to get along with others, but He doesn't want us to be fruitless. And where the rubber hits the road with this a lot of the times is with family and friends, old family and old friends from our past life. Remember how Jesus said that He didn't come to bring peace but a sword. That's a really hard thing to accept, especially when your own family members choose not to follow Jesus, or they choose the way of religion, and you choose the way of Jesus. And it's even harder when they want to do nice things for you. They want to invite you over for, say, Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving, all of these sorts of pagan holidays. They give you gifts. They're always trying to love you in the way that the world does. And then what you return to them is basically nothing, just saying, I can't be with you. I need to separate from you. They can't understand it. You look just like you're being a punk, that you're being hateful. And that's why Jesus said that He came to bring a sword, even between family members. We don't want a division. We don't want to have war with family members. We want peace with people, especially if we're following Jesus as the Prince of Peace. But if people that have been in our life are causing us to be unfruitful for the Kingdom of God, and they are leading us away, you know, in our conversation to be fruitless and just to waste our time, then we need to sever ourselves from them. 


And too many of us, because we are just nice, we don't sever ourselves from ungodly family members, ungodly friends. We just continue to associate with them. The Lord warned me about this, that we need to make sure that we are always fruitful in our conversations. And if we're around old friends or family members that are not bearing good fruit, we need to be very careful and not waste our time there. Because a lot of Christians get hung up on just family nights, playing games with family members and friends. And the Kingdom of God always comes second, or it doesn't even come second. It's never even there. So they end up just watching TV with their family members and friends, just hanging out. And it's very dangerous because they become fruitless. And what Jesus said, if we're not a good tree, we're a bad tree. And if we're not bearing good fruit, we're going to be cut off and thrown into the fire. What does that mean? That means we're not worthy to inherit everlasting life. We'll be thrown into hell. I, for one, don't want to be thrown into hell because my family members aren't following God. And even though it makes me sad not to associate with my old family members and friends that aren't really following Jesus, but they're following religion, for the sake of my own soul and the sake of my children and the sake of the body of Christ, I sever myself from them, not because I hate them as the world hates, but because I want to obey Jesus.I've put Jesus first in my life. And of course, family members and friends are going to think, well, you're hateful. You're returning hate for good. You don't give us presence, even though we've given you presence. We want to hang out with you and give you things, and you don't give us any of your time back. You don't share your children with us. And so over the name of Jesus, there is a huge division. We need to be very careful who we associate with. Another thing that I've seen that we need to be very careful with not to become fruitless is with our worldly business. See, all of us have to have a business. Jesus hasn't called us to be lazy. He hasn't called us to be homeless or to be beggars. So we have to be doing something in the world. Either you go out and you work some kind of a job or you're an entrepreneur, you're an employee somewhere, you own your own business, whatever it is, you're doing something to bring in physical money then to buy physical food so you have food on your table to eat. We are in the world, but not of the world. 


But the danger is it's easy to start worshiping money or money to become way too important. And we don't want money to be one of the tentacles of the octopus of this false god that is pulling us away from the true provision of the living God. It is so easy to get wrapped up in just wanting to make money, just putting our security in money, putting our security in the government, and that to become a false fruit and a false god in a false lifestyle. Of course, we're supposed to be making money. We're supposed to be helping others, you know, raising our families. And that all takes money. I understand that. And so do you. But how do we make sure that we're not serving God and money, worshiping God and mammon? See, this is a very important thing for us to understand as Christians, because if we get this one thing wrong, we will be fruitless. And that leads me into what Jesus spoke about the parable of the four soils. You've probably read this parable before, but I'm going to just go over it briefly. Jesus says that with the four soils, the first soil is the wayside. The wayside is the side of the road where these seeds were scattered right on the road. And the devil quickly comes like in the form of a bird, and he eats that seed right off the road. And it never makes it into the soil at all. This represents people that are in the world. They hear the gospel message. They hear that Jesus died on the cross and he resurrected. And they say, whatever, I'm here to make money. I'm here to live the good life. So immediately, the gospel message that they hear is eaten by the devil. And they never, ever even start their journey with Jesus in faith. So that's the first soil. Jesus calls it the wayside. 


The second soil is the rocky, shallow soil. And what Jesus says about this soil is that it is shallow. These are the sorts of people that they hear the gospel and they go, that is awesome. But they never do anything about it. They never grow to maturity. And as soon as tribulation or persecution arise, or people start to speak negatively about them in the workplace, they say, forget it. It's not worth being a If it causes a divide in your family, if Jesus is the prince of peace, he can never cause division. So these sorts of people, because they are in the shallow soil, they also are devoured by the devil. They never become truly fruitful. There are a lot of people that are on this soil. They will only follow Jesus as long as it is convenient. These are the sorts of Christians that believe in church light, like beer light, and they never really grow deep in their faith. Christianity is always on the side and it always comes second after football. It always comes second after family, after alcohol and parties and making money. These sorts of people could care less about having deep and genuine relationships with others. And they certainly don't care about having a deep and passionate relationship with Jesus Christ. They don't have dreams. They don't have visions. They don't have the fire of the Holy Spirit. They certainly don't speak in new tongues. They're just shallow Christians. And similarly to those on the wayside, the devil eats up the seed that is in their heart and they don't continue to grow. When the sun beats down on them, they do not grow through trial and tribulation and persecution. But what I find most convicting is the third soil Jesus speaks about, which is the soil or the seed that lands amongst the thorns. And what Jesus says that this represents is people who hear the Word of God, so they hear about Jesus's testimony and they know about the disciples. They know what Jesus taught. But then what happens is all the worries of the world arise and the deceitfulness of riches. And so even though they know the parables of the kingdom of God, even though they know about Jesus and they know the way, because there's deceitfulness in money, deceitfulness in riches, deceitfulness in all the pleasures of the world, it's too hard for them to be fruitful. It's easier to just go out and have fun, go out and make money, focus on business and the things of the world and professionalism than it is to preach the kingdom of God and bear good fruit. Now this is very convicting, guys, because I believe most Christians who are serious fall into this category. They don't continue to produce good fruit because after a while, even though they've pushed through trials and tribulations and sicknesses and persecutions in their life, what ends up getting them is all the joys of the world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the pleasures of this life. And that chokes them out like thorns choke out a plant that's trying to grow in the garden. And unless these things are weeded out of our lives, we can't continue to grow. So this goes back to the importance of not serving God and money, but serving the Lord our God with all of our heart and saying, Lord, have your way with me. I know I need to make money. I know that I need to provide for my children. 


I need to be the provider of my household. But how do I do that so that I am bearing good fruit and not letting all of the worries of the world and the deceitfulness of riches choke me out? Because most Christians, all they're concerned about is the things of the world. It's all about taking the kids to the soccer game, taking the kids back and forth from here to there from school, commuting to work and back. It's all about grocery shopping, getting things on Amazon. And all of these things are things that we need. But how do we make sure that we're truly putting Jesus Christ first? And what I want to tell you is, in order to do this, you need to do some soul searching and you need to start asking Jesus, am I producing good fruit or am I getting choked out? And if you can be just introspective, looking into your own heart and into your own life and able to ask these questions, then you can have this pure heart before the Lord ready to be corrected. If you have started to allow the things of the world to choke you out and to become unfruitful. If we are fruitful, we will be teaching our children to trust and obey Jesus. We'll be seeking first the kingdom of God in his righteousness, not just making money in the world, not just living for the pleasures of the flesh. And I'm not saying we can't have fun. I have a lot of fun in life. I have a lot of fun with my children, but I also have a deep conviction that comes from the Holy Spirit that I know that I need to bear good fruit and not let any of the things in this world or the fear of putting food on the table or deceitfulness of riches, all these things that Jesus talks about, how these thorns choke out the seed. I want to make sure that that is not me. I find this very, it's a challenge. It's a challenge not to be pulled down by the world in one way or another or choked out. We need to make sure that we have the conviction of the Holy Spirit in us and that we keep that conviction alive. I know I'm still alive in Jesus because I have conviction. I know the difference between right and wrong. I know that I'm in the fight with Jesus because I still feel and hear the accusations from Satan and both in the spiritual realm and physically from people who are always accusing me. So if we know that we're still being accused by people, accused by the devil, and that we're fighting against this world and the thorns that are in this world and trying to get that out of our life, we can know we're still on the right path with Jesus. But as soon as you don't care about seeking first God's kingdom and your worries are all the worries of the world, all the things of this world, all the desires of the flesh, then you're bound to be choked out just as this soil is. 


You know, this seed growing up in this soil that seems good, but then it has thorns in it and it totally chokes it out so it can't produce fruit. All three of these soils never produce good fruit. Not a hundredfold, not thirtyfold, not you know tenfold. All of them are choked out and because of that they are then cast out. Jesus' other parables talk about being cast out into the fire or thrown out where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth. We certainly don't want that. So we need to make sure that we figure out our relationship with Jesus in how we can produce good fruit and be like the fourth soil which is the good soil that produces fruit. Some more than others, but whatever amount of faith that God gives us, we will produce fruit a hundredfold, fiftyfold, thirtyfold, twentyfold, tenfold, whatever the Lord gives us with our talents and our abilities. Instead of serving the world and trying to become something in the world, we are working for Jesus, working out our salvation with fear and trembling and asking Him to give us good fruit. That we may produce good fruit in our lives so that we will be acceptable to the Lord and ready to walk into those pearly gates into heaven and that also we will be able to encourage others to enter into the kingdom of God. If we ourselves are not producing good fruit and being chastised and overcoming in the name of Jesus, casting out devils, casting out evil thoughts from our minds, selfish ambitions, if we are not doing that then we have no business being able to help or coach or teach other people to do that. So if we want to be the sons and daughters of the light and let our light shine before men, we have to have our light shining and practicing what we preach. I want to practice what I preach, I want to practice what I say I live, and every day I want to bear good fruit for Jesus Christ. I find this parable of the four soils very convicting because I never want to let my worldly business, my earthly business and making money ever be in head of seeking first the kingdom of God. And where the rubber hits the road is if I have clients or if I have people that disagree with my testimony of Jesus, I never want to change what I believe in. I never want to change or bend my knee to Satan in order to keep worldly business. At the end of the day I'd rather be homeless and right with Jesus than live in a mansion and be with the devil. So if there are conflicts or persecution or all these things that arise, I want to be able to push through that and not be serving mammon.If the devil puts mammon before me and he says you need to bow down in order to receive this, I need to say I will stand for Jesus and I will never bow to the devil. Each of us always come to forks in the road in our path where we are tested. Either the Lord himself allows a test or the devil is tempting us. 


And at those forks in the road will we go left or will we go right? Will we choose good or will we choose evil? Will we choose to bow down to Satan so that we can continue to make money? Will we start to bow to money so that we can receive more money? Will we make compromises that pull us away from being fruitful to the kingdom of God? Or will we truly seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and bear good fruit? Remember, only the fourth soil bears good fruit. We want to be the fourth soil because if we're the first, the second, or the third, if we're the ones on the wayside, the shallow soil, or amongst the thorns, we don't bear good fruit and we are not worthy to enter the kingdom of God. The three soils that don't bear good fruit, they're cast out where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth. I want to make sure that I am the fourth soil and I'd want to encourage you also. Is your heart right before the Lord and are you producing good soil or are you like the third soil amongst the thorns or the second amongst the shallow rocky soil or the first amongst the wayside? You don't care what Jesus thinks. I want to encourage people to come and have good fruit for the Lord. So I want to pray for those of you that want to dedicate your life to Jesus and keep your life on track with the Lord. 


“Lord Jesus, I pray that I can bear good fruit, that I can be separate from worldliness and ungodliness and pursuits that are ungodly. I pray that we can truly seek first your kingdom and your righteousness and be your sons and your daughters. I pray that you sever us from worldliness, that you prune us and keep us away from the things that make us unfruitful and the things that choke us out. May we have everything that we need. May we have physical food and spiritual food that we don't have to be in want, but that we can say thank you Lord for providing everything that we need. And may the works of our hands be blessed. May you give us just everything that we spiritually need and physically need so that we can use all of our resources, all of our talents and abilities for the kingdom of God, that we ourselves may be entering the kingdom and that we can also be encouraging others to enter your kingdom, that they would also produce good fruit and enter into your holy kingdom. So help us Lord Jesus be humble before you, help us be righteous before you, but also confident that you are leading us and guiding us, and may we have confidence in our faith in you knowing that it is through you and your power that we overcome. In your name I pray, Lord Jesus. Amen.”

The Christian Grace and Faith Alone Gospel is a Huge Lie


The Christian Grace Gospel, as it is taught in the American churches at the pulpits, is a huge lie from Satan. It is taking people to hell every day when they believe it.
This lie is that you are saved by grace and grace alone—that there are no works you can do that are righteous or that please God; that His salvation through His death and resurrection is all you need to believe in and that if you just believe in that, you will be saved.

These pastors say that if you add anything else to the gospel, such as works or baptism, then you are a dog,you are a liar, you are a hypocrite, and you are prideful. But what these pastors leave out is the part of the Gospel that Jesus taught about denying yourself, picking up your cross, and doing the work to follow Him.

Jesus taught this. This is not my opinion; these are not my words or my thoughts. But this is what Jesus taught. I want to read it to you.

This is what Jesus said in Matthew 16, starting in verse 24:

Then Jesus said to His disciples, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself"—which is work—"and take up his cross"—which is work—"and follow Me"—which is work.

"For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.

For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?"

What will it help you if you look like a good Christian in church, keep up your church attendance, pay your 10% tithe every week, and adhere to biblical teachings?

What will that help you if, at the end of your life, Jesus says, "Away from Me, you who commit sin; I don’t know you"?

It won’t matter if you believed your pastor’s lie at that moment what will matter is what you did with the words of Jesus.

Did you believe His words right here in Matthew 16? Or did you deny His words to receive the lying pastor’s words?

Then Jesus goes on to say this:

"For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works"—not his belief, not what just he thought Jesus did in Bible times, but according to his works.

If your works are done in righteousness, then you will receive the reward of righteous deeds.

But if you had unrighteous deeds—if you were working the works of wickedness—then you will be rewarded with hell and damnation. You will be punished.

So don’t believe the devil’s lie that is preached from the pulpits in the church—that all you have to do is believe, but you don’t have to deny yourself, you don’t have to pick up your cross, and you don’t have to leave worldliness behind. All you have to do, according to them, is go to church, pay your 10%, believe the pastor, and you’ll be saved.

Where is your faith today?

Do you really believe in the words of Jesus?

Or do you believe in the lying pastor and these gatherings that are full of hypocrisy?

Have You Received Your New Tongue and the Mind of Jesus?

  



We'll praise Jesus today, everyone. We know that when we come to Jesus, we renew our mind. We have a new tongue and a new mind and a new heart. Now there are a lot of Christians, Pentecostal Christians, that think the new tongue just means speaking in a tongue that no one understands, but that their English tongue doesn't change, which is ridiculous, because if you actually come into the household of the faith and you're walking in the kingdom of God, then you will have a new tongue that edifies others as well. You'll be changed, that your mind will not be thinking like the world or how you used to think like other people in the world, and your heart will certainly be different. I want to read to you what the Apostle Paul says about this in Ephesians chapter 4. This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, and the futility of their mind. 


You could say here, if you have really come to Jesus, you should not walk as the rest of your fellow Americans, or whatever country you live in. You shouldn't be just pursuing what they're pursuing in the world. Having the understanding of darkness, being alienated from the life of God, because the ignorance that is in them, because of their blindness of their heart, who being past feeling, have given themselves over to lewdness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. But you have not so learned Christ, meaning you have not learned that sort of Jesus. You haven't learned Jesus with greed, with hatred, with malice. So why are we thinking like Christians in the world, if we have really received the new tongue and the mind of Jesus? If indeed you have heard from Him, and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus, that you put off concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, and be renewed in spirit and in mind, and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness. 


This is something many Christians have not put on, because they haven't been renewed in their mind or in their heart. They're not taking communion with Jesus. They're not eating His flesh and drinking His blood. They're eating and drinking the world, and because they're eating and drinking the world, they can't possibly have the mind of Christ. This is why they're still cursing, blasphemous thoughts are coming into their mind. They are exactly like the world. We need to put on righteousness and holiness, true righteousness. Therefore, putting away lying, let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor. We need to be speaking in our new tongue with our neighbor. Whoever we come across, we need to be the light of the world. This doesn't mean that we're just speaking gibberish. This doesn't mean that we're just speaking in a prayer language. 


This means that we have the new tongue, which comes from a renewed heart and mind, and now we're speaking the mysteries of God, just as they spoke in Acts, when the Holy Spirit came on them, and they were speaking to all these different nations of people in their own tongue, and they understood, and some of those people repented, and were added to the number of the new Christians. So let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor, for we are members of one another. Be angry and do not sin. Do not let the sun go down on your wrath, nor give place to the devil. Let him who stole steal no longer, but rather let him labor, working with his hands what is good, that he may have something to give him who has need. Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers. 


We always want to be praying and asking Jesus, that whatever we say is edifying to others, not tearing others down, not blasphemous of course, not gossipy, not envious words, but words that are building each other up, and helpful to the body of Christ, that it may impart grace to the hearers. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. You know a lot of Christians, they are grieving the Holy Spirit, especially with the TV, with movies, with their entertainment. They're grieving the Holy Spirit, because they say, well I don't say those words, I don't think those things, but they allow those things to play on their TV, and they're paying their money to watch these movies that are blaspheming God, speaking evil continually, and because they allow this stuff into their household, they themselves are no longer holy or pure as well. They are allowing that into their mind, that garbage, instead of allowing holiness and righteousness to shine through them. So we need to make sure that we don't grieve the Holy Spirit, by listening or acting like the devil. 


Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you with all malice, and be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you. In some place, Jesus says that He will forgive, the same way that we forgive others. And that is a word, because if we have bitterness in our heart towards others, we can know that God will not forgive us. So we need to make sure that if we have hatred in our heart, or bitterness towards others, or seeds of unforgiveness, that we make sure that we forgive before the sun goes down, that we can have communion, and not be eating and drinking judgment on ourselves. So what tongue and what mind have you received? Have you really received the mind of Christ? Have you received the tongue that comes from Jesus when we receive the Holy Spirit? Or do you still have a tongue of envy, and bitterness, and hatred? Are you still thinking like the world? Are you thinking racist thoughts, or thoughts that put others down? Make sure that you're not thinking yourself better than others. A lot of Christians just hope that judgment comes on the world.


They want to see other people hurting. But Jesus said that He came to save people, not to destroy them. Remember when the disciples asked about the Pharisees, should we just call fire out of heaven and kill them all? And Jesus didn't say, yes Peter, send fire out of heaven. But what did Jesus say? If we remember what Jesus said, He said He came not to destroy people's lives, but He came to save them. We need to be praying that people repent, and that they come to the Lord, and are saved by His grace and His mercy. Of course God's judgment is going to come on the wicked. God's judgment is already here. But we as Christians, who want to be fruitful, are to be calling others to repent. We always want to be hopeful. Love hopes all things. It wishes for repentance. It hopes that people come into the household of the faith. We want to make sure that we're no longer conformed to the world, or acting like worldly Christians, but that we are conformed to the likeness of Jesus, and that we really receive the Holy Spirit, that baptism of the Holy Spirit, that we know happens when we have a transformed tongue, and a transformed mind. So I want to pray for those of you that want true repentance, that want to be part of the household of the faith. 


"Lord Jesus, I pray for those that are here today listening, and they know that they have sin in their life. They know that they have messed up. They know that they have had thoughts and words in them that are not pure, but they know that they want your righteousness. They want to eat your flesh, and drink your blood.  So I pray for someone who is listening today that wants to be pure, that wants to be purged and purified, that you would purify their heart and their mind, that they would be renewed, that they could have communion with you Lord Jesus, that they would eat your flesh, and drink your blood, and come part of your new covenant. I pray that we would be lights to others, that your Holy Spirit would be shining through us, that more people would be added to our number, that they would see our good works, and that they would glorify our Father in Heaven. In your name I pray, Lord Jesus. Amen."

Practice righteousness not ungodliness

 

Practice Righteousness not Ungodliness



Well, praise Jesus today, everyone. I just had a short message that I wanted to share, and it's about practicing righteousness and not practicing ungodliness. See, of course we get better at what we practice, and even if we are dedicated to the Lord Jesus, if we don't continue to practice our new tongue, if we don't practice speaking to others about the truth, then we will get out of practice, and we'll be more timid to share the truth, and then suddenly we'll find ourselves just thinking and saying worldly things, and we need to make sure that we're always in practice for what we really know is important. 


The other day, I had a good friend come over, and he noticed that I had a large pile of wood that needed to be burned, and I plan to one day do it, but I don't just burn large piles every day, although I do it maybe a few times a season, but my friend, he has a business, and he is always doing burn piles, always brushing, always cleaning stuff up, and he quickly that day asked me if I wanted to light up that burn pile, and it was a burn day, so I said, sure, let's do it, and he jumped right on, you know, right on it, and we lit up that burn pile, and we cleaned up the area, and made the property look really good around my house, and that was really a blessing to me, it was a blessing from the Lord that that friend had that on his heart to do, but I thought to myself, he's doing this all the time, and he's excited to do it, he's excited to help a brother, he's in practice for things that are good, and we want to be in practice for things that are good, and not practicing things that are unrighteous, a lot of people have addictions, and they're practicing things that are ungodly, and because they have a habit of looking at pornography, or a habit of cursing, or a habit of taking the Lord's name in vain, or gossiping about others, they practice those things constantly, and instead of being a light to the world, and being helpful, and quick to do work that is righteousness, they are quick to do things that are evil, and perverted, and hateful, so if we are the children of the light, we need to be quick to do what is right, and we need to practice what is right, and of course we will get better at doing what is right, and we'll get better at resisting what is evil, see there are some Christians that think that once you put your faith in Jesus, you will no longer be tested, and you will automatically do what's right, that's not true, you will know right from wrong when you come to Jesus, but you have to practice good, and you have to refrain from evil, and as temptations continue to come at you, you will get better at resisting temptation when you choose to stand with Jesus, the more that you resist that temptation, the more you make a pattern of righteousness, but the more that you fall into temptation, the more you'll make the pattern of ungodliness, so we want to have patterns that encourage others to follow the Lord, that are edifying to ourselves, so we need to make patterns that each day when we wake up, we give our life to the Lord, we pray and say, Lord have your way with me, and let me be an encouragement to others, we need to make the pattern of guarding our hearts against evil, guarding our eyes and our ears, that we're not listening to music or watching things that are ungodly, and getting all the things out of our life that cause us to stumble, so the areas that cause us to stumble, and the things that cause us to do wickedness, and then we need to actively be pursuing righteousness, because it's not enough just to not be sinning, just to be avoiding things in the world that are ungodly, but Jesus calls us to bear good fruit, so how do we do that? Well in the morning we pray and we say, Lord make our lives fruitful for you, let me be a vessel of honor that can be used for you, and whoever I come into contact with, let me be salt and light that I can bear good fruit for you, that there may be more people that enter into the light of the truth, and there may be some days that the Lord has someone in your life, that then you can be a witness to, and then maybe other days there won't be anyone in that aspect, but in other aspects of your life you'll be able to grow, but in everything we need to live as unto the Lord, and practice righteousness, and not practice ungodliness. I see far too many people that are practicing ungodliness, and they think themselves to be Christians. I see people with shirts, and they're Christian shirts, and they have Bible verses on them, and these people are supposed to be Christians, they're supposed to be the children of God, but they're cursing, they're disrespectful to others, they don't have the light of the true God in them, they're not living the gospel, so practice what you preach, live for the Lord Jesus, and you will get better at what you do, you'll get better at encouraging others, you'll get better at resisting the devil, because whatever we practice we get better at, and as we make those habits we'll want to do those things more. 


I've given the example before, if you have never run in your life, or if you've never jogged, you probably don't want to just go out and jog a mile. If you have run when you're say in junior high, and they had you do the mile, it was all that you could do in junior high to make that mile, and then maybe you haven't run another mile in 10-20 years, and it would be like pulling teeth to get you to jog a mile, but if you start yourself in an area where you can, maybe jogging a lap, and then working yourself up to that, and you're getting back in shape, then you will enjoy jogging a mile. So what we practice we get better at, and what we practice we start to enjoy, and then the things that we don't practice, we tend to put those things on the back burner, because we start to get a mental block against those things. 


This is also a big reason why people procrastinate on the things that they know they should do. It's because they're out of practice for those things, and they continue to put those things on the back burner. When I was in college, I often was a procrastinator on my work, because I really wanted to think about other things, and so if I had some kind of assignment, essay due, or test, I would often put it off until the very last night in order to do it, and then I would be so rushed to get that done, and it's because I was out of practice for studying, and that's a really bad thing guys, as if you're in college, or if you're in the workplace, and you're expected to get things done on a schedule, you should be quick to do what's right. 


You shouldn't be a procrastinator, and now that I follow Jesus, I want to do everything as under the Lord. So even things like if it's a test that I'm going to turn in, if it's something for school, I want to be there on time, I want to be prepared, because I want to live as under the Lord, and be well practiced up, so that I have a performance that demonstrates the King that I am performing for. If we are Christians, we're not performing for the world, we're not just performing for a worldly boss, but we are doing our performance for the Lord Jesus, if in fact He is your King and your Lord.


You should be doing everything as unto the Lord. So don't be a procrastinator on doing what you need to do, don't be a procrastinator on doing what is right. Of course be slow to anger, but be quick to forgive, be quick to reconcile with a brother or sister that you need reconciliation with, be quick to repent of the things that you need to repent from, but don't put these things on the back burner, because far too many Christians have these mental blocks, and then they can't push through and do the things that they need to do, so instead they're trying to just appease themselves, or appease a guilty conscience, with doing worldly good works. 


So we need to make sure that we actually are getting our life in order before the Lord, living holy and pure, and practicing righteousness. So that's all I have for today, I want to encourage those of you that do want to practice righteousness, so I want to pray for those of you that want to put your faith in Jesus, and live for Him, and not practice the things of the world. "Lord Jesus, I pray for my fellow brothers and sisters who are listening today, that want to practice righteousness, and who want to put off ungodliness. We want to be dedicated to your truth, we want to be filled with your Holy Spirit, and not with the thoughts of the world, or the desires of the flesh. So fill us with your righteousness, and with your truth, let us feast on your words, let us have the words of life in us, and let us meditate on your truth, and on your righteousness. May we resist evil, may we resist temptation, and continue to overcome in your name. Amen." 


Well praise Jesus everyone, I see your comments coming in. Yeah praise Jesus, it's always good to be thankful. We've been getting some rain here in California, which I'm very thankful for. It's good to start the day right, and be praising the Lord, worshiping Him, and encouraging others to also follow and obey the Lord. I think we'll end this live stream here this morning, but continue to resist evil, and do good before Jesus. 


He loves us, He cares for us, but He wants us to live the holy life. So let us keep our eyes on the prize, which is Jesus Christ, and keep enduring on the straight and narrow path. Yes we have to pray continually, pray continually without ceasing. If you pray and ask Jesus to fill you with His Holy Spirit, and to give you His new tongue, He will teach you how to pray without ceasing, like it says in the scripture. We want to always have the heart and mind of the Lord, and praying in His will. Alright that's it for today guys. Go in the Spirit of the Lord Jesus, honor Him, and please Him with your life, and be a light for Him.

Only the FOOLISH Think Works Don't Matter

 


Remember the parable of the five wise virgins compared to the five foolish virgins. One of the things that the foolish say is that your works don't matter or count, and that all God looks at is his son's death on the cross. While it is true that Jesus died on the cross for our sins and he atoned for us, we also have a cross to carry that the foolish don't want to carry because they only want to see what Jesus did. I hear these foolish pastors on the radio often. They're always speaking about God's grace, about what Jesus did on the cross, his finished work on the cross, but they never talk about our cross that we have to carry. They never talk about our works. 


In fact, they call all the works of righteousness filthy, and they say you're adding to the gospel if you talk about works as if that will save you. Now these foolish, these five foolish, which happen to be most every pastor in church, most all Christians in church, they think that they're saved by grace alone, by faith alone, and they believe that if you preach about the works, you're mixing a works gospel with the true faith gospel, which in fact, these Christians are mixing up the works of the law, which the apostle Paul spoke about would not save anyone, and what the Judaizers would preach, which is that you will be saved by keeping your self from eating certain meats and circumcision. So they mix that false gospel with the gospel that Jesus actually taught of true repentance and having works of righteousness. No one can be saved without works of righteousness and by belief only, and sadly, the foolish have said in their heart that you can be saved without works of righteousness. They say that's adding to the gospel, and it will be to their own demise when they find themselves in hell, and God says away from me you who commit sin, and he will hold them accountable to their works, which they believed they wouldn't be judged by. 


This is what it says in James chapter 2. “What does it profit my brethren if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, and one of you says to them, depart in peace and be warm and filled, you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. But someone will say you have faith that I have works. Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. You believe that there is one God, you do well, even the demons believe and tremble. But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead? Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect? And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, ‘Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.’ And he was called the friend of God. You see then that a man is justified by works and not by faith only.” 


This is the big scripture that Christians in church do not like. In fact Martin Luther wanted to take this passage out of the Bible. Christians don't like the fact that Jesus will hold them accountable to their works, they like to say by faith alone. But their faith is worthless because they have no oil in their lamp, they have no works of righteousness. So this is an important verse to learn and to memorize, it's James chapter 2 verse 24, which is “You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only. Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way? For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.”


The foolish say in their heart, I don't have to have works of righteousness, that's adding to the gospel, they will find themselves in hell. Jesus also taught this. If you want to look at Matthew chapter 16 with me, I'll read to you what Jesus said about this. This is Matthew 16, I'm starting in verse 24. Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. ” 


Taking up your cross is a work, it's not the work of the law, but it is the work of righteousness. You have your cross to bury as a Christian. And then Jesus says, for whoever desires to save his life will lose it. But whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. So how do you do that? You lose your life by taking up your cross, not by being foolish and thinking you're saved by just believing alone, but you're saved by this gospel that Jesus is teaching right here, by picking up your cross. “Whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? Now listen to what Jesus says next. For the son of man will come in the glory of his father with his angels, and then he will reward each according to his works.” 

These are the important passages that the Christian church that has grown foolish and blind and deaf and hard of hearing refuses to preach, because they believe in the easy grace gospel. They want people to give them money. They want to get warm bodies in pews and in seats in their church. So they refuse to teach the full gospel. It's only half of the gospel to say Jesus died on the cross and that Jesus loves you. The other half of the gospel is that God is just. He brings about his judgments, and that every man also has a cross to carry, and you will be judged according to your works. 


So do we have works of righteousness? Are we putting the old man, that is the man of sin that we once were, into the grave? Are we putting down the flesh and letting righteousness arise in us? Are we picking up our cross and carrying it for the Lord, or are we living like the foolish Christians that don't have oil in their lamp but think that because they know what Jesus taught that they're going to heaven? Don't be deceived by the pastors that are lying on the radio or the pastors that are lying on the internet. We need the works of righteousness in us. This is the gospel that Jesus gave. 


This is what the early apostles taught. We have to have the works of righteousness, and we can't confuse that with the works of the law. Some people are confused, and they say, well, how did the apostle Paul preach one gospel that we're saved by faith alone, but then James teaches this works thing? And what people are getting confused is what Paul was speaking is about the works of the law, which no man will be saved by. You're not going to be saved by keeping yourself from eating pork. You're not going to save yourself by trying to go to church on Saturday. You're not going to save yourself by slaughtering animals. 


So by the works of the law, no man will be justified. But what they get confused is with the works of the law versus righteousness, the works of righteousness, which we need to have if we want to enter the kingdom of God. And if we have faith in Jesus, if we love Him, we will pick up our cross, we will deny ourselves daily, and we will have these works of righteousness because the Holy Spirit is working in us. I hope this encourages someone to put on the full armor of God to start resisting Satan and overcoming temptation and all the evil that's in the world. And I want to pray for those of you that do want to overcome in Jesus' name and believe the gospel and pick up your cross. “Lord Jesus, I pray that more people will be added to the body of Christ, that more people will come to believe in you, that they will pick up their cross, that they will put down the old man, that they will bury the old, and that you will remove it from them as far as the east is from the west.I pray that people can be set free from demons, from bondage to sin, from bondage to false religion and false ideas. I pray that the ungodly teachings will come out of them, that they will just be set free from these things, these shackles. I pray that more will just be receiving your true gospel, picking up their cross, and living by the Holy Spirit, that they will be indwelled by you. The only spirit that we want in us is your Holy Spirit, the Holy Ghost. We want to speak in our new tongues. We want to be baptized in your spirit. We want your wondrous works to be in us so that more people may hear the gospel being preached and that they also will be saved by your wonderful arms of love. So, we love you, Lord Jesus. We pray for your true church, and we pray for more people to be saved in your name. Amen.”


If you want to know what the works of righteousness are, you need to go back and look what Jesus taught. I'll read one thing that Jesus taught on that. In John, I'm turning there, Jesus says this in John chapter 15, which have to do with the works of righteousness. This is not the works of the law, but the works of righteousness that you need if you will be part of the five wise virgins. John chapter 15, starting in verse 1. 

“I am the true vine. My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in me that does not bear fruit, He takes away. And every branch that bears fruit, He prunes that it may bear more fruit. You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. That is, if you believe in the words of Jesus, abide in me and I in you, as the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine. Neither can you unless you abide in me.” 

This is another big problem in the Christian church. They are not abiding by the words of Jesus. They're abiding by their doctrines. And as soon as you join yourself to a church, you follow that church where that church is going. If you want life, you need to be connected to the vine so that you can follow the vine where the vine is going. Jesus is the vine and we are the branches. So don't connect yourself to a church. Connect yourself to Jesus Christ. 


So Jesus says, “abide in me. I am the vine. You are the branches. He who abides in me and I in him bears much fruit. For without me, you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered, and they gather them and throw them into the fire and they are burned. If you abide in me and my words abide in you, you will ask what you desire and it shall be done for you.” 


Here's another problem. These foolish Christians ask for all sorts of things that are not in the will of the father and they never get their prayers answered. And so that's why they get deceived thinking, well, I guess maybe God isn't real. They're always praying in their own will, the will of their organizations, the will of their churches, but they don't know Jesus. So they can't have their prayers answered. They can't possibly hear from God or hear their or get their prayers answered without having the oil in their lamp. 


And then Jesus says, ‘by this, my father is glorified that you bear much fruit. So you will be my disciples. As the father loved me, I also have loved you abide in my love.” And here's what Jesus says about abiding in his love in verse 10. “If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my father's commandments and abide in his love. These things I have spoken to you that my joy remains in you and that your joy may be full. This is my commandment.” 

So what is Jesus talking about? Is he talking about the 613 laws of Torah? Is he talking about you'll be saved if you just keep the 10 commandments? Because that's not what Jesus told the rich young ruler. The rich young ruler was still on his way to hell, even though he kept all 10. Jesus said, “come and follow me”. So what is Jesus? What is his commandment? He says, “this is my commandment that you love one another as I have loved you”. It sounds simple enough, but to actually learn how Jesus wants you to love him and how Jesus wants you to love others will take your lifetime and it will take your whole life being laid down in order to learn this. You can't possibly learn it by keeping Torah. That is why the Pharisees who kept the Torah and who kept the 10 commandments also were able to murder Jesus thinking that they were doing it in the name of God. 


They had no love from the father. They did the works of their father, Satan. And most of the Christian pastors and organizations today are following their father, the devil, and they don't have the commandments of Jesus, even though they keep the law of Moses. They keep the 10 commandments. So Jesus says, “this is my commandment that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this to lay down one's life for his friend. You are my friends if you do whatever I command you”. Here is another problem. You can't know what Jesus is commanding you if you are one of the foolish virgins with no oil in your lamp. You'll run around all day spinning your wheels in religion, trying to do religious things to appease your conscience, and you won't have a word from God. So if you don't know what Jesus is saying, you can't be his friend. You're not obeying him. And the five foolish couldn't obey Jesus because they had no oil in their lamp. They could never hear the Holy Spirit. So what wisdom says is, if you want the truth, you need to seek out Jesus Christ and receive his spirit so that then you will know the truth. Truth is Jesus Christ. If you hear truth, you'll hear his voice. If you don't hear the truth, you will not hear his voice, and you'll probably be just like the Pharisees who were ready to murder the messenger. 


So Jesus says, “you are my friends if you do whatever I command you”. So you need to learn what Jesus is commanding. “No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing, but I have called you friends for all things that I heard from my Father I have made known to you”. And Jesus will still make known to you his truth. All the truth that God ever wanted to speak to you is not recorded in the scripture. He wants to have a living relationship with you for all eternity. That is why there is an eternity, so you can be with God. We are not climaxing by just reading the Bible, as Christians think. Too many Christians think that the very crux is the Bible. 


They think that God only wants their nose stuck in the Bible, and they continually go back to Bible study, and they are ever learning, without coming to the knowledge of the truth of Jesus Christ. These sorts of Christians think when they die, they will stand before the Bible, and the Bible will judge them, and that the Bible will have a relationship with them. They think God is the Bible. How sad and deceived these Christians are with no oil in their lamp and no love in their hearts. Jesus says, “you did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you, that you should go and bear fruit, that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in my name he may give you. These things I command you, that you love one another”. 


This is Jesus speaking his commandments to us. So the question is, do you have the commandments of Jesus in your heart, or are you deceived by the Judaizers and false Christians and the false gospel that says one or the other? Either you are saved by faith alone, that you don't have to do anything for Jesus, or on the other side that says you're saved by the works of the law of Moses, that you're saved by circumcision, that you're saved by keeping the Torah, that you're saved by all of these rites and rituals and practices. The law could never save anyone. 


That's why Jesus didn't come preaching the law as salvation. He came preaching his gospel. He came preaching about his death and his resurrection and the new covenant. We need to come into the new covenant if we want to receive him, which is that Jesus died on the cross, he resurrected, and if we put our faith in him as the perfect sacrifice, then we will be saved. But we need to endure with him to the very end. All of the kingdom parables that Jesus taught, these are to point us to him and what will happen in the end times and how to know him in the end times. 


But Jesus did not come preaching that you will be saved by keeping the commandments alone, or that you would be saved by keeping the law of Moses, that is the 613 laws of the Torah. Salvation comes by Jesus Christ. So get to know the kingdom parables, the kingdom of God, the kingdom of heaven. Learn what he means. Go back and read the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Pay attention to what Jesus actually said and learn what Jesus's commandments are.


If you live on Jesus's words, if you eat his flesh and you drink his blood, then you'll partake in the new covenant and you'll be saved. There'll be life running through your veins. Life will be running through you and that living water will be in you bubbling up to everlasting life. But if you believe in the false gospel, you'll end up getting more depressed, more confused, you'll be allowing more demons into you, you'll be hearing more demons, and you'll be working yourself into the grave. I had this thought the other day of two men carrying a burden. One man was carrying the burden of his cross. The other man was carrying the burden of the world, carrying this burden on their back. But the man carrying the burden of the world, the more he carried it, the more the world on his back drove him into the grave. The man with the cross on his back, the more he walked, the more he approached the kingdom of God and he entered into everlasting life. 


Jesus talks about his burden being light and that is because if we follow him, even though we're picking up our cross, he sustains us to the point where we walk into everlasting life with him holding his hand. But if you have the burden of the world on you, which is sin and doubt, accusations from satan, all of the burdens of the guilt of sin, those things will weigh you down all the way to the grave and bring about everlasting damnation. So which are you carrying? Are you carrying the burden of the world on your back, or are you bearing the cross on your back? As for me, I want to be taking up my cross daily, having the works of righteousness that Jesus calls me to do, and not believing anything false because if you start to pick up the burdens of the world, you're in big trouble. But if we carry our cross and we walk with Jesus and eat his flesh and drink his blood, we know that we have everlasting life. I hope this encourages someone today in the Lord to walk by faith and bear their cross, to deny themselves daily, pick up their cross, and follow the Lord Jesus because he is the only truth, he's the only way, and he is the only life.

Are You Hearing from God or Just Fooling Yourself?

I want to read to you what it says about hearing from God in James chapter 1; My brethren count it all joy when you fall into various trials knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience but let patience have its perfect work that you may be perfect and complete lacking nothing if any of you lacks wisdom let him ask God who gives to all liberally without reproach and it will be given to him.  But let him ask in faith with no doubting for He who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind, for let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord, he is a double-minded man unstable in all his ways."
 So how do we hear from God and why are so many men unstable in all of their ways?

Men are unstable when they are not hearing from the Holy Spirit and instead of letting patience have its perfect work in them, they put words in God's mouth they read the select Bible verses that they want and they think that's God speaking. They hear from a certain prophet, a certain man or certain woman and they believe that word instead of the word that comes from patience from the Holy Spirit.

So they don't learn from God through patience and trials. They're not hearing God in the very core of their being through wisdom they're hearing God supposedly through signs and blunders, their imagination they're hearing God and too many Christians are not waiting upon the Lord in righteousness through patience through trials tribulations through the wisdom of the Holy Spirit.

 I see Christians who are specifically in the Pentecostal group you know these people are in the Bethl church, they're in these sorts of churches that believe that they are speaking in tongues believe that they have visions and understanding from God yet they have no true patience from God and because of that they think that they are hearing God in their mind. We don't hear God in our ears we don't hear God in our mind we have to hear God in the very core of our being. The Holy Spirit speaks to our spirits not to our ears, you know who will speak to your ear is the devil,  men speak into your physical ears but God speaks into the very core of your soul and so if you want truth you need to be listening for Him to speak into your soul with wisdom that is why men and women even in the church are not hearing from God they're led along by their own lusts by their own misguided understanding by their own misinterpretations of the Bible.

 We need to be smart and wise longsuffering we need to wait on the Lord for His guidance and He will give liberally to you if you wait upon Him and
 listen in your spirit with your spiritual ears. Don't be deceived by Christians and by the blunders and signs in the world that come from Satan. Don't be misguided by false spiritual guides/spirit guides. Make sure that you're truly led by the Holy Spirit because God knows how to lead you in your spirit. It's not about these outward signs, remember that the kingdom of God does not come with signs that are observable by men but the kingdom of God is inside you, the kingdom of God should be in your soul and there you should be understanding it, there God is working, but if you're like the people who think that God is just working outwardly these magical signs and He's like a spirit guide, you're going to be extremely deceived. 

AI is one of these sorts of demons or at least what demons take on and because people want a quick microwave kind of a food from God, they go directly to AI they go straight to technology for a word from God and they totally turn their back on the truth the Living God. Jesus is the truth, He is the way He is the life not technology, not this quick microwave food from the internet.  Yet how many are going to the world thinking they're going to find Knowledge from God? It takes patience like we read in James it takes long suffering it takes dedication it takes complete control over your flesh. You need to put down your flesh and in righteousness be led by the Holy Spirit. 

It's easy to say "I'm being led by the Holy Spirit, I'm being led by God I listen to God..." it's easy to say that and not do it but if you are dedicated then like James says you need to be patient, you patiently wait upon the Lord and He will give you wisdom if you are serious to listen for the wisdom that comes from God. 

That doesn't mean that you just do nothing, it doesn't mean that you just pray on your knees in your room all day, but it also means that you get up in obedience DO the things that the Spirit of God put on your conscience to do that you know that you know is right to do. Many Christians know what they should do and they don't do it and then the things they know they shouldn't do they do those things. We need to make sure that we cast out the Devil by doing what is good and rejecting what is wrong, as simple as that. So I hope this encourages someone to receive the wisdom that comes from the Lord.  Jesus Christ is alive, He is the Truth He is the Life and He is the Way. May the grace of Jesus be with you.
