Learning to Depend on the LORD

Memorize:

“For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.” Psalms 38:18

Let’s compare what David, Job, and Solomon declared vs what some today declare. You ready?

David:

“For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.” Psalms 38:18

Notice David declared his “iniquity” and said he “will be sorry for my sin.”

Job:

“If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: if I say, I am perfect (if I say i am sinless), it shall also prove me perverse.” Job 9:20

Solomon:

“Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?” Proverbs 20:9

vs

“Sinlessly perfect” preachers today:

“I never sin.”

Understanding and declaring our state of spiritual poverty is where it all begins. Victory will ensure when we do things God’s way – the way of the cross. Let’s read David’s words again:

“For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.” Psalms 38:18

WE are all imperfect, hopelessly sinful without Christ’s saving and enabling grace, and perfectly in need of HIM! So, we must become dependent – on Him.

The cross is the divine prescription for a holy life which means a life set apart to the LORD (Psalms 4:3). The posture of the true disciple is never to hide behind the sham of self-proclaimed sinless perfection. No, rather to admit any and all sin before God, to surrender afresh, and to depending on the LORD in an abiding relationship (Proverbs 16:18; 28:13; 1 John 1:8-10, etc.). Amen Jesus! YOU are able, YOUR grace (divine enablement) is sufficient in all things that bring You glory (2 Corinthians 12:9-10). Holiness is not just staying out of sin, no holiness in the divine definition, is abiding in Christ, being set apart with Him (John 15). One can be abstaining from adultery, fornication, murder, etc., and yet have a heart full of damning self-righteousness and pride. God will not work with us if we harbor pride but rather will resist us and we will “fall” and have “destruction” (James 4:6-10; Proverbs 16:18). Yes, God commands His people to “Be ye holy; for I am holy” and “let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.” (1 Peter 1:15-16; 2 Corinthians 7:1) Your own self-effort is not sufficient but rather the grace of God dispensed to those who walk in the cross life with Jesus (Romans 6). The LORD alone brings this about through the cross life which is His prescription for walking with Him! (2 Corinthians 4:10-12)

“But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.” Psalms 4:3

Seeking the face of the LORD “continually” is essential to and synonymous with abiding in Christ.

“Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually.” 1 Chronicles 16:11

I am not a good person, neither are you – “There is none righteous, no, not one:” (Romans 3:10) Admit it. The sooner we become HONEST with that which is more than obvious, announcing freely and transparently – that there is “NOOOO good thing” in us except CHRIST, the sooner God will begin a new, deeper work in us! (Romans 7:18, 24) The Cross!

EXCUSE ME, what did Jesus say you MUST do “DAILY” to “follow” Him? -deny self, take up the cross, follow him! (Luke 9:23-24)

ANY man not telling you to die to self is 100% a fraud! He’s preaching “another gospel” and is “accursed.” (Galatians 1:6-9) He’s talking about blessing, resurrection, without death and burial which MUST precede because he’s selling you down the river as a agent of Satan himself! Run. Jesus says you must die to self, you must lose your life, you must lay down your life: so who’s lying?

“verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah.” Psalms 39:5

SIN IS MANKIND’S CORE ISSUE AND DILEMMA AND ONLY JESUS CAN FORGIVE AND SOLVE THAT PROBLEM. “THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH BUT THE GIFT OF GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD.” (ROMANS 6:23)

THE SINLESS PERFECTIONISM sham is not God’s way. No, He wants His people to be honest before Him and His body and cease pretending (Proverbs 28:13; 1 John 1:6-10, etc.). Such honesty, such authenticity is essential to true holiness – that which God alone can grant through an abiding life in Christ, in the cross (Luke 8:15; John 15). Pride undergirds this evil disposition and such self-righteous arrogance is fostered and fed by many today who read the writings of false teachers like Charles Finney instead of Holy Scripture. Please share as there are many in our midst who are misled.

“For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.” Ecclesiastes 7:20 

“There is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not – לא יחטא lo yechta, that may not sin. There is not a man upon earth, however just he may be, and habituated to do good, but is peccable – liable to commit sin; and therefore should continually watch and pray, and depend upon the Lord. But the text does not say, the just man does commit sin, but simply that he may sin; and so our translators have rendered it in 1Sa_2:25, twice in 1Ki_8:31, 1Ki_8:46, and 2Ch_6:36; and the reader is requested to consult the note on 1Ki_8:46, where the proper construction of this word may be found, and the doctrine in question is fully considered.” Adam Clarke

Jesus spoke the following parable to teach the evil of self-righteousness and the blessing of truly seeking and trusting God’s righteousness.

“And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: 10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. 11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. 12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. 13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. 14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.” Luke 18:9-14 

Not one of us in perfect and yet, we must seek to become perfectly dependent upon God, asking Him to remove all self-righteousness from our lives, and cease wrongly judging others.

“Trust in the LORD (not self) with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. 7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.” Proverbs 3:5-7

ASTOUNDINGLY we have the “holier than thou,” I-NEVER-sin crew running around. God says He hates this arrogance. This is not a new thing. Listen to Isaiah the prophet beloved:

“Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day.” Isaiah 65:5

There is never an excuse for sin (James 1:13-15). Being honest  concerning our own frailty and need for the LORD, is not about making excuse, but rather, realizing our ever present need for the grace of God in living pleasing before Him.

“Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” Matthew 26:41

THE BORN AGAIN BELIEVER IN JESUS CHRIST HAS NEED TO DAILY REPENT AND CONFESS AS NEEDED AND TO REMAIN IN A HUMBLE, TEACHABLE, TENDER POSTURE OF HEART.

“The longer and the deeper I go with the Lord, I realize the imperfections within, and that I absolutely cannot and will not make excuses for them, – even if I wanted to. There is a spiritual mirror held up to my heart that shows me otherwise. But He is leading me in the paths of righteousness. Halleluyah!” Anita Armagnac

WE NEED JESUS AND ARE NOTHING WITHOUT HIM! WITHOUT JESUS WE ARE NOTHING (ROM. 7:18, 24). WE HAVE NO ABILITY TO PLEASE GOD OUTSIDE OF ONENESS WITH CHRIST! HAVE YOU MEMORIZED JOHN 15:5?

Only that abiding relationship/fellowship Jesus taught in John 15 can produce the holiness that pleases God!

To the degree that we are receiving the revelation of CHRIST’s righteousness, to that degree we lose self-righteousness (Romans 3-8). Understanding your own utter depravity is never a license to sin but rather the starting point to be able to truly cherish Christ and what He did for us.

Amazingly, people will delusionally call you a calvinist just because you don’t buy into their self-righteous, sinless perfectionism by way of SELF/the flesh – instead of by way of the power of the Holy Ghost, Christ, and the daily cross He commanded. Holiness is a MUST for Heaven and yet Christ’s cross and full dependence on Him brings about His holiness (1 Peter 1:15-16). All other so-called holiness is false and feigned just like the pharisees (Matthew 23:23-25, etc.). …. Lie of the Ages

1 Peter 1:15-16 says “be ye holy; for I am holy” – obey by denying self, taking up the cross and following Jesus so that He who is “the resurrection and the life” raises us upward in His blessed divine power and grants us full victory unto “true holiness” and everlasting life in glory (John 11:25; Ephesians 4:25).

Beware of these brow beating guys and girls. They are very zealous and yet misled/deceived. Many of them do street ministry – a ministry of condemnation to the lost Instead of being honest and admitting their sin and utter, present, never-ending desperate need for Christ. If they don’t repent it’s going to be damnation. God hates this system of arrogant lies. The true believer is broken, sincere, and honestly admits his sin anytime he may err – instead of cloaking himself behind the delusional idea that he’s sinlessly perfect. Such is laughable (Job 9:20; Proverbs 20:9; 1 John 1:8-10, etc.).

The cross – the crucified life – is the only solution to sin! Anyone preaching holiness without the cross has some learning to do.

YES, God commands us to “be ye holy” and yet He also commands the daily cross …. of which not one of us can claim to have perfectly crucified the flesh since the moment He saved us (1 Peter 1:15-16). The only way to holiness is by way of He who alone is “Holy, holy, holy.” (Isaiah 6:3; Revelation 4:8) We cannot leave out any part of the full counsel of He who ALONE is “Holy, holy, holy” and still be truly holy. No man shall see the LORD without holiness and yet such a state is only possibly by Christ’s work in our lives and of course our personal participation of surrender (Hebrews 12:14). GOD (not you or me) is able! He’s coming back for a people without spot or blemish or any such thing and the only way to be blessed to be ready is complete dependence and reliance on Christ – not by foolishly claiming to be sinless perfection outside of Him – in and of ourselves. This is what Charles Finney taught and the doctrine of the sinless perfectionist street preachers today. Finney taught that by way of “natural ability” we can be perfect. Nonsense! Galatians 3:3 anyone?

JUSTIFIED BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH AND YET SANCTIFIED BY SELF? NOT!

“ARE YE SO FOOLISH? HAVING BEGUN IN THE SPIRIT, ARE YE NOW MADE PERFECT BY THE FLESH?” GALATIANS 3:3

Real holiness – “true holiness” (Ephesians 4:25) comes from completely trusting in Christ, not self. Such a notion is antichrist because it replaces Christ with you! If you’ve bought this lie, please repent and confess this at once for the sin it is.

For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.” Romans 7:18

The flesh must be crucified daily. You can’t just announce that you are somehow “sinlessly perfect” and that’s it. Really? A good laugh goes right here 😉

Jesus taught a “daily” denial and cross, right? (Luke 9:23-24, etc.) Paul echoed such:

“But I keep (daily, ongoing) under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.” 1 Corinthians 9:27

Ever heard the phrase “keep it real”?

That fits good right here.

Getting Honest: Memorize: Luke 8:15; Proverbs 28:13.

The walk of the true follower of Christ is not denial of sin and failure but rather readily admitting and denouncing it as one ever, continually draws nigh afresh to Christ! (James 4:6-10)

Maintaining a posture of complete dependency is the biblical model for “true holiness”, wholeness in Christ, sanctification (Ephesians 4:25).

Are we not given severe warning to do such lest we, like the Israelites, fall into sin and be blocked out of the promised land of eternal glory? See 1 Corinthians 9:27-10:12.

“Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.” 1 Corinthians 10:12

God is good in spite of us.

Jesus saved us in spite of us – not because of us!

“For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.” Romans 7:18

The flesh must be crucified daily. You can’t just announce that you are somehow “sinlessly perfect” and that’s it. Really? A good laugh goes right here 😉

“For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.” Romans 7:18

NO, YOU are not greater than sin. If so, why then did Jesus have to come to conquer sin?! (Galatians 2:21) No, even though you are fronting, you have not and are not presently overcoming sin by your own “natural ability” as false teacher Charles Finney taught and the street preacher wolves today teach! ONLY Jesus conquered sin on the cross and ONLY Jesus can conquer sin in your life through the crucified life He ordered you to walk!

The self-reliant are self-righteous. The Savior-reliant know they are weak but HE is strong – and is able to give the total victory in this life! (Romans 6-8; 2 Cor. 12:9-10, etc.)

IT’S TIME TO REPENT, STOP DOING “MINISTRY,” AND GET BEFORE GOD UNTIL WE ARE BROKEN AND REDUCED TO NOTHING!

IF YOU truly are Christ’s disciple, you cannot attempt to evade the daily cross He commanded you to take up. You must become a student of Christ and that cross. Your personal spiritual life is not going to go upward in resurrection glory and grace until you learn to lay it down ….. depending on God even to do this! Jesus is coming … you ready?

Isn’t it just better to admit when we are wrong, to openly admit we are not sinless perfection but rather utterly, perpetually in need of God’s grace?

NO, you and I are not perfection BUT the One we preach the glories of is!!!! Thank You JESUS!!!!!! Here are 2 highly recommended verses for you to memorize saints. Their references are easy ….. see what you think….. 2 Corinthians 3:5 and 4:5.

Attend to My Words [podcast]


IF THE WORD isn’t flowing into you daily, you are falling away. Flood and fuel your heart and mind and body with the pure, the holy light of God’s Word daily and you will never famish! All darkness will be vanquished (Psalms 119:130). All who have been saved and yet aren’t in God’s Word and prayer daily – have rejected Christ, with no exception. Re-turn to the LORD prodigal. There’s no good outside of Christ the KING.

“The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.” Psalms 119:130

ALL who are not in God’s written Word daily are not hearing from God, do not have God’s wisdom and direction, and are walking in darkness – 100%.

The feeding of Christ’s flock would integrally involve exhorting them to diligently study and walk in God’s Word themselves, daily (John 21:15-17). Isn’t this exactly what the apostle Paul told Timothy to do? Yes. He told his understudy to “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” (2 Timothy 2:15)

One of the ways we know who the false ministers are, is that they want people dependent on THEM, not God. So, they don’t constantly exhort the people to get into God’s Word, the Holy Scriptures, for themselves. Run.

“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.” Joshua 1:8 

“He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live. … My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. 21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. 22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. 23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. Proverbs 4:4, 20-23

“Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.” Jeremiah 15:16

“Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.” Job 23:12

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.” Colossians 3:16

“Over the last 5-10 years I can see where He has done this for me already, but the problem is …. it’s not enough! I want even more! One hour of study and prayer in the morning is not enough!” Christine

The Over Population Delusion Exposed [video]

FACT: There are 100 people groups that are uncontacted and remain isolated from modern societies which is further proof of over population being an induced myth.

FACTS are dangerous to those who perpetrate lying propaganda. Example:

Threat: There Were 93,331 Drug Overdose Deaths in the US in 2020 and ZERO Deaths from Climate Change in the US in 2020

While these lying agents of the enemy of all souls push the “danger” of “global warming,” the simple facts eviscerate their agenda.

ALL of Creation, Including the Earth and its People, are Exclusively God’s Property

The LORD owns the earth, not you, luciferian. You are an antichrist sinner, less than a spec of dust in contrast to the Almighty who said “The earth is the LORD’S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.” (Psalms 24:1)

Depopulation Devils Exposed! The earth is the LORD’s and He said He wants it populated! (Psalms 24:1) Those who participate in deciding who lives and who dies are murderers in the eyes of the Almighty. And, any person encouraging people not to have children is encouraging something that is against what God stated and is a divine command that is still in full force – “And God blessed them, and God said unto them, BE FRUITFUL, AND MULTIPLY, AND REPLENISH THE EARTH, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.” (Genesis 1:28)

“Those who believe the over population myth should humbly read the Bible and it will wipe out their ignorance. Especially the book of Genesis.” Shadrack Rotich

No such thing as over population. Anyone who believes that has been deceived by the murderous depopulationists. Not long ago a study was done which proved that every person in the world could live comfortably in the state of Texas. The LORD who made the earth, made it to be inhabited and provide everything for such to happen. These are antichrists who are against the LORD and His plan to fill the earth with people (Genesis 1:28). Over population is a lie to push the agenda of depopulating the earth by murdering billions. It’s time to make peace with your Maker, the Judge of your eternal soul – before it’s too late. Peace with God

Those who believe in this lie of over population are bearing false witness against the Almighty and making a foolish, ungrounded indictment upon our Maker. Totally gullible. Bought the lies. It’s all an evil agenda to communize the world, and a communist world dictator is coming, the antichrist. Communism has never worked and never will – except temporarily for those ruling over the masses. Communism is the few self-appointed elites murderously ruling with tyranny. Only deceived souls are buying this delusion.

Below is a lost soul disagreeing with my above statements:

“The world is grossly over populated. We could do with a few generations who don’t want to have children. If everyone just kept popping them out like you suggest, how does the world sustain that many people?” Amy

MY REPLY:

Who the heck do you think you are pretending to decide who can live and who must die to suit the delusions you’ve gullibly bought into? You are completely selfish, sinner. What if someone, some other luciferian decides that YOU are expendable? – That you don’t matter and should be eliminated? Do you know what Jesus’ Golden Rule states?

“And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.” Luke 6:31

“The earth is THE LORD’s” not yours (Psalms 24:1) One thing’s for certain – There is a God and you are not Him.

“The earth is the LORD’S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.” Psalms 24:1

The LORD made the earth and doesn’t need puny finite beings like us “deciding” that there is not enough room for more people. Total selfishness. It’s not up to YOU to decide if God’s green earth is over populated. You are completely brain washed, indoctrinated into the religion of self-worship, secular humanism. Not long ago an extensive study showed that the whole population of the world could fit in the state of Texas, each person and family with a large piece of land. Case closed. Junk science. Lies.

Regrettably, you don’t yet see the end game agenda of these scams you’ve bought into. The lie of over population and the murderous depopulation agenda is are tools of the evil dictators in order to accomplish global dominance. This will bring the most horrific times the earth has ever seen under the antichrist.

“For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.” Matthew 24:21-22
