Only You Can Decide: God has Already Decided that He Wants You – Sending His Son to Die for You! Do You Want Jesus?
“For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? 37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?” Mark 8:36-37
From an eternal perspective, no person who dies and goes to hell is/was a success but rather a total failure, a rebel who will never escape the conscious torment of the domain of the damned. Are you born again and presently abiding in Christ? If not, the flames of eternal damnation will feed upon your soul forever. Repent now sinner and believe on the LORD Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins – before it’s too late.
With no exception, each and every eternal soul who now and forever will occupy hell would do anything to be in your position – to have just one more opportunity to cry out to Jesus to be forgive, saved into His eternal kingdom! Today is the day of salvation – the moment to repent and put your full trust in Jesus Christ, before it’s too late. Making Peace with God now – before it’s too late.
What’s more important to you than the LORD? Who? What? What organization? What affiliation? What religion, religious affiliation? What family member? What friend? Is it really worth your eternal soul? Is Your Sin Really Worth Going to Hell for?
“So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.” Luke 14:33
Jesus Christ will love you all the way into hell – because He gave you free will, allowing you to choose Him or sin and hell. He also died on that cross to forgive your sins and save you from eternal damnation (1 Timothy 1:15). Billions of souls this moment occupy hell irrevocably – there are no second changes (Hebrews 9:27). Are YOU going to hell?
The greedy moral cowards of today’s modern church world refuse to preach what Jesus preached – including the doctrine of hell. That’s why the true body of Christ is going organic!
You call him “pastor” and the wolf isn’t preaching hell? Repent and run!!!
99% of modern pastors knocked out on this alone! YOU know he’s a wolf when he refuses to preach the holiness of God and His mandate for His own people to “be ye holy.” – Sin will damn the soul. God is “Holy, holy, holy” and no sin shall enter His holy presence (Isaiah 6:3; Revelation 4:8). “Be ye holy for I am holy.” (1 Peter 1:15-16). “Follow peace with all men and HOLINESS without which NO man shall see the Lord.” (Hebrews 12:14)
“Be ye holy for I am holy.” (1 Peter 1:15-16) But how? The cross is the solution Jesus gave us. “He that is dead is freed from sin.” (Romans 6:7)
All who follow Christ abandon all that offends him. Holiness is the work of God in a yielded, abiding born again saint (John 15; Romans 8:12-14; 1 Peter 1:15-16, etc.). Think about it: When the HOLY Spirit is ruling a person’s yielded life, that vessel will be HOLY.
Is the sinful pleasure you now enjoy worth spending forever in hell for? Jesus Christ made it crystal clear to both saint and sinner alike that any person who chooses even one sin to be more important to them than Him, will be doomed to the place He described as a dwelling place of gruesome, ceaseless torment:
“And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea. And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: Where their worm dieth not (denotes complete consciousness), and the fire is not quenched. For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt. Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another.” Mark 9:42-50
What does “their worm dieth not” mean? This is an idiom meaning that the consciousness, the feelings of the damned will never cease.
Jesus used this term 3 times in Mark 9:43-49. In His severe warning, Jesus is refuting the idea of annihilation and teaching the facts that the conscience feelings and therefore suffering of all lost souls will never cease to be experienced.
In light of these penetrating words of the LORD Jesus, think ahead for a moment with me: Let’s imagine that you died in sin and it was 100 years into the future. There you are, in hell – experiencing excruciating pain and isolation (outer darkness – you can see nothing). You are fully conscious, and reeling in the agonizing remorse of the decision you made in your brief earthly life to retain your sin instead of repenting and forsaking it. During your short life on earth God granted several opportunities for you to turn fully to Him, but you chose to ride the popular, modern church wave of easy believism and eternal security, thinking everything was going to be fine because you said the sinner’s prayer and attended church services. Yet you retained a sin you knew God said would endanger your eternal soul (Gal. 5:19-21). You freely refused to cut off the hand and pluck out the eye of your sin and now you are trapped forever in incarceration – where “the fire is not quenched.” Is your sin really worth spending eternity in hell for? Is the sin you have chosen to continue in (retain instead of rejecting) really worth the everlasting pain of damnation in hell, while the righteous rejoice in sublime, unimaginable pleasure, joy, and bliss in Heaven with Jesus?
The world seeks to romance sin but if God says it’s sin, that’s what it is. Toning down the terms changes nothing. Judgment Day is on the way. Isn’t that the work of Satan – to tone down the wages, the consequences of sin? Yes it is (Genesis 2:17; 3:4).
The deception of our own deceitful, desperately wicked hearts and Satan, is that God is somehow going to overlook the sin we refused to confess, repent of, and die to. Not going to happen – doesn’t matter how special you think you are. If a person dies in sin – they are going to hell irrevocably. Gospel. The wages of sin is still death saints (Romans 6:23).
Without fail, those who teach Satan’s OSAS/eternal security heresy never teach the essential Biblical truth that God is “Holy, holy, holy.” (Isaiah 6:3; Revelation 4:8) They’ve been taught a “check your ticket at the door” “eternal security.” They are made to believe that they are free to live in sin and are still going to Heaven, no matter what. But this is not what Scripture teaches. “Be ye holy for I am holy” is Holy Scripture never heard among the diabolical perpetrators of the OSAS heresy (1 Peter 1:15-16)
“There comes a time when we must cut out that bad seed (all sin) less it spoil the whole bunch! If God hadn’t dealt with sin through the blood, death, life, and burial of His only begotten Son Jesus and caused Him to rise from the grave victoriously, there would be no salvation for man today. God is able to give us His grace to overcome all sin and to do what He’s commanded us to do. Amen.” Charles Pray
Fellow citizen of this world and Christ’s kingdom, if your life is not currently laid down flat before the LORD Jesus Christ in utter humility and brokenness for the immeasurable wickedness and depravity you have committed in the full and plain site of the omnipresent eyes of His holiness, you have no eternal security with Him. The flames of eternal damnation which will forever feed upon your separated soul await your arrival.
The daily cross/dying Jesus commanded that we take up is the only way He brings us into His holiness…. with our full participation in dying…… The Daily Cross
Description of the Eternal Home of All Who are not Presently Living in the Fear of God and in Faithful Obedience to Christ
DIVINE JUDGMENT, the “severity of God”, IS NOT GOING AWAY JUST BECAUSE YOU OR SOME FAKE PREACHER IGNORES IT!!! (Romans 11:20-22)
Hell is for keeps. No second chance. Irrevocable … A divine sentence, judgment upon all who die outside of Christ! Sure as you’re breathing, if you are not born again and presently in the middle of God’s will, abiding in Christ on HIS terms, get ready to be consciously, brutally burned world without end.
Violent flames rage like endless waves that roar in a fierce ocean tossed to and fro by hurricane winds. Deafening voices shriek, hopelessly tormented in the turbulent fire that dominates their defenseless souls. One million years have passed and yet there is not a trace of relief from the horrifying torment that has enveloped their helpless souls. Vivid memories of their earthly life, when they had precious opportunity to escape this horrible fate, torment their bitter and remorseful beings. Welcome to the world of departed souls who died after refusing to apply the only cure to their deadly disease. Behind the thin veil of life on earth lies a real world – a forever world. Welcome to a profile of the after life.
There is no pain in this life so cruel nor permanent that can possibly be compared to what the Son of God described and warned of when he spoke of hell – that dreaded place of God’s holy wrath. Here is a punishment profile of what lies ahead for all who die outside the real Lordship of Jesus Christ.
- Unquenchable fire. Mark 9:45
- Eternal Damnation. Mark 3:29
- Everlasting punishment. Matthew 25:46
- A place of everlasting burnings. Isaiah 33:14
- Torment with fire and brimstone. Revelation 14:10; 19:20
- A lake (ocean) of fire. Revelation 20:15
- No 2nd chance to escape (utter hopelessness). Luke 16:26
- Weeping and gnashing of teeth. Matthew 8:12
- A place of eternal remorse (regret). Luke 16:19-31
- A place of complete consciousness. Luke 16:25
- A furnace of fire with wailing. Matthew 13:42
- No rest day or night forever (eternal misery). Revelation 14:11
- Outer darkness. Matthew 8:12; 22:13
- A place of sorrows (seething remorse and despair). Psalms 18:5
- A place of everlasting destruction. 2 Thessalonians 1:9
- A place of torments. Luke 16:23
All is recorded in Heaven (Heb. 4:13). God sees ALL your sins and will pull the curtains back and roll the tape of your life on Judgment Day. Every single thought and deed of your life is on file with God. He made provision to remove and desires to forgive all. If you die without His forgiveness, you will face the Almighty on Judgment Day in the Supreme Court of the Universe as a guilty sinner who refused to repent and be pardoned. In trembling ruins you will stand shameful and without excuse before a holy God.
Our Sins Include:
Cursing, Lying, Adultery, Hatred, Cheating, Slander, Strife,
Idolatry, Dishonor, Murder, Stealing, Fornication, Unforgiveness,
Not putting Him First, Taking God’s Name In Vain, Etc.
“The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good…” Proverbs 15:3
“And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.” Revelation 20:15
Obedience Or Hatred?
Saving faith is always active and obedient. Of every one of those who claim to know Him and do not practically and daily deny themselves, take up their crosses of crucifying their earthly lusts, and perform His will, He foretells their destiny:
“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.“ Matthew 7:21-23
Make no mistake: Hell awaits all who were once right with God and are now living outside of His complete Lordship over their personal lives:
“Therefore, thou son of man, say unto the children of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression: as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turneth from his wickedness; neither shall the righteous be able to live for his righteousness in the day that he sinneth. When I shall say to the righteous, that he shall surely live; if he trust to his own righteousness, and commit iniquity, all his righteousnesses shall not be remembered; but for his iniquity that he hath committed, he shall die for it.” Ezekiel 33:12-13
As we see clearly in the above text, the Almighty judges your life by your current state of heart and all, yes all, of your past righteousnesses are not remembered if you are not completely bowed down under His holiness and Lordship at this moment.
Do we still wish to define truth based on how it fits our own lifestyle instead of how our eternal Judge gave it to us in His Word? What position is best for the long run?
We all know and can attest to the Bible truth that there is opportunity “to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season” and yet “she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth.” (Heb. 11:25; 1 Tim. 5:6) Sin brings spiritual death and righteousness by the blood of Christ and enabling power of the Holy Spirit brings life and blessings untold now and forever (Rom. 5:17; 6:23; 8:13-14).
Security Check Point
Still not sure where you currently are with the LORD? Want to know? The Word says that “Without faith it is impossible to please him.” (Heb. 11:6) Heart faith that saves the soul is obedient to the One in whom its trust fully rests. If you are right with God, you are literally active and fruitful in the following things He commanded:
Boldly communicating His salvation to others, calling them to repent and believe upon Him or perish in hell – because you love Him and them more than self (Mk. 16:15-20; Phil. 2:3-5).
-
- You are showing charity and love to all of the LORD’s children (Jn. 13:34-35; Gal. 6:10; 1 Jn. 4).
-
- You assist others in any way possible (1 Cor. 10:24; 13:1-8).
-
- You are abstaining from all appearances of evil or temptation to sin (Rom. 13:14).
-
- You are living a life of godly repentance and the forsaking of any thought, word or deed that offends His holiness (Ps. 51; Mk. 9:43-49; 1 Jn. 1:6-10; Rev. 3:19).
-
- You are fasting, praying and studying His Word (Isa. 58; 2 Tim. 2:15).
-
- You are crying out to Him for brokenness and a clean heart (Ps. 51; 139:23-24; Matt. 5:6, 8; 1 Tim. 1:5).
-
- You give all within your means to further the cause of the Gospel (Prov. 11:25-26; Phil. 4:15-16).
-
- You are abolishing and staying clear of any idol of the heart as you burn with flaming love for Jesus Christ (Eph. 5:5-9; 1 Jn. 5:21; Rev. 2:4-5).
You are currently crying out and looking for the soon return of the Savior for His few who are on the narrow road that leads to life (Matt. 24-25; Tit. 2:13-14; James 5:5-7; 1 Jn. 3:1-3; Rev. 22:20-21).
The absence of these things from one’s life testifies to the backslidden state of the heart (Prov. 14:14). Such a person is under the judgment of a holy God who will soon return “In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.” (2 Thess. 1:6-9)
“They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.” Titus 1:16
According to God’s Word, judgment is always based on a person’s works because a person’s works are a clear manifestation of his inner heart and faith. No person will be judged on his mere profession of Christ but on the life he lived (Matt. 12:36-37; Jn. 5:29; Rom. 2:1-7, 13; 14:12; 1 Cor. 3:13-15; 2 Cor. 5:10; Eph. 6:7-8; Col. 3:25; Tit. 1:16; Rev. 2:23; 20:12; 22:12).
Who Are We Lying To But Ourselves?
“And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.” 1 John 2:3-4
Only A Few Will Make It
“Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.” Matthew 7:13-14
Friend, How many times have you been warned? How long will you harden your heart? How long will you deny Jesus Christ while embellishing yourself with temporal pleasure and comforts which have lulled you into a deadly stupor and sleep? Hell awaits. LORD draw us to You and grant holy repentance!
“Woe to them that are at ease in Zion.” Amos 6:1
There is not one unconditional blessing in the divine economy. Every blessing, including everlasting life in Heaven and missing hell, hinges upon the obedient faith (the only kind of authentic saving faith) of the recipient of the message.
“But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.” James 1:6-8
If one is not this moment crucified with Christ, he has denied Him and is serving the false god of self which indisputably incriminates one as an idolater, worthy of eternal damnation in His holy site. Those who do not surrender their will to Christ in whole hearted, first love devotion are not His and are divinely decreed as unworthy of His holy Heaven:
“But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks. For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. Be not ye therefore partakers with them.” Galatians 5:5-7
The dismal punishment for choosing the selfish sinful pleasures in this fleeting life will never end.
“And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.” Galatians 5:24
“No Man”
“No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.” Matthew 6:24
Regardless of his past fellowship with Christ, the one who departs from the LORD, loses out.
Friend, are you serving Christ or self? According to Jesus, the answer is either one or the other – it is an impossibility to serve more than one master. Is it really worth it to “despise” Jesus Christ while serving self interests? To refuse outright and blatant obedience to Him is to deny Him and forsake all divine mercy.
“They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.” Jonah 2:8
To observe a teaching which supposes that one can live outside of the will of the One who is Salvation and still go to His holy Heaven is absurd at best.
Friend, are you going to “cover,” or confess your sins? Will you forsake, and flee from sin – that which displeases the LORD Almighty?
“He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.” Proverbs 28:13
Charles Pray writes: “So many want to hide their sins, especially those who like to appear Holy on the outside while inside they are dark, unholy ministers of the flesh. They have become a product of their own desires. Dear Lord, please bring them back to their first Love–Jesus! Amen.”
Like the man who possessed a heart after the LORD, we should quickly confess any sin we might commit – “For I will declare (confess) mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.” (Ps. 38:18)
Be not deceived: If experiencing the things of this fleeting world is more important to you than literally fellowshipping with and performing the will of God, you have denied and defied Him and are in love with the world and are the enemy of God (1 Jn. 2:15-17). If one loves this present world and the things in it, he is living in a state of death – the state of spiritual adultery. Such a person will go to the eternal dwelling place of all those who make themselves the enemy of God – regardless of what one professes with his mouth:
“Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.” James 4:4
“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.” 1 John 2:15
Will You Obey The Truth?
One might say “Hey I made peace with God long ago. I am secure and safe, based on that one confession and act of faith toward Christ.” Nonsense! “Once saved always saved” is a sinful and hellish cop-out! If you will miss hell and be in Heaven, you must trash this lie like the cancerous plague that it is and march forth unreservedly in obedience to the soon to return LORD of all lords, whom “out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall Rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.” (Rev. 19:15)
Neither Jesus Christ nor His holy apostles taught such a license to sin doctrine. In Holy Scripture, such a doctrine is associated specifically with “ungodly men” who “turn the grace of God into lasciviousness” and “deny(ing) the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.” (Jude 4) The Son of God told His own 12: “He that endureth to the end shall be saved.” (Matt. 10:22) What explanation does this statement from “the Almighty God” need? (Rev. 1:8) I suppose none to the honest hearted. Any attempt to explain away or around such would be subversive, sinfully wicked and evil manipulation.
Listen to what Jesus tells the saints at Smyrna:
“And unto the angel of the church (not the lost) in Smyrna write…Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.” Revelation 2:10-11
Our LORD’s words here are of course consistent with all of Holy Writ. Also consistent is the complete and purposed ignorance of so many who have to ignore volumes of texts like this to make their false grace message palatable. Here are two phrases that especially stand out in His message of warning to these believers in Smyrna and also His disciples today. When you read these see if you see conditions here. See if His blessing of eternal life has conditions attached:
“be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.” (v 10)
“He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.” (v 11)
Why would very believers be warned here by Christ if there were no possibility of them losing out? Is Jesus a lunatic or did He place conditions upon the final reception of His salvation?
We must choose to “endure sound doctrine” and not turn aside to fables if we are going to be with the Truth Himself in eternity (Jn. 14:6; 1 Tim. 4:1-3; 2 Tim. 4:1-4). I know that these truths are hard truth and yet they are the very truths of the One we will be judged by on that Day (Isa. 30:10; Rom. 3:4). So, we all make the choice to ignore or wax over these Bible truths, or face them and fall flat upon the mercy of the LORD we so desperately are in perpetual need of.
Did the very Son of Man not indiscriminately level a severe warning concerning readiness for His return? Jesus forewarned that all those who were at one time in His kingdom would not make it to eternal glory:
“And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting (over indulgence), and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares (suddenly, without warning). For as a snare (trap) shall it come on ALL them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.” Luke 21:34-36
Will you be “accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass and to stand before the Son of man?” How can you know if you are ready?
Here are the main elements of this all-important passage in Luke 21:
“Take heed to yourselves” – take personal responsibility for your life and all that you think and do.
“Lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting (over indulgence)” – avoid overeating, overindulgence and reveling in this fleeting world; fast and pray often.
Do not live in “drunkenness” – be sober and do not become intoxicated with wine, strong drink or spiritual deception
Do not be caught up in the “cares of this life” – count Christ the supreme Prize of your whole existence and sever yourself from anything in this world that does not contribute to this all-consuming pursuit.
“Watch” – never allow yourself to doze off or fall asleep. Remain on guard at all times and let not any sinful thinking have dominion over your life.
“Pray always” – ceaselessly commune with the Savior. Live moment to moment in fellowship with Him.
Denying any thought or activity that doesn’t draw you closer to Christ is essential in preparedness for His glorious return.
That overcoming believer who endures to the end of his trial will receive the blessed crown of His righteousness (James 1:12). Now is the hour. Today is the day – to throw back the veil that blinds us and binds us to that chain of darkness!
Jesus told us that He came “To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.” (Acts 26:18)
Jesus Christ came to grant us redemption and complete forgiveness, delivering us from all the power of darkness.
“Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins.” Colossians 1:13-14
Make no mistake: If we do not draw nigh to Him in repentance of life and cultivate a heart after Him, darkness will inevitably overtake our lives.
Be deceived no longer friend, if your life is not laid down before Christ, your eternity is sealed by your self-serving idolatrous decision to deny the nail-scarred Savior. If He is truly LORD of your life, He is reigning supreme in all you think, say and do. He is risen! Rejoice and give glory to the One who bled for your sins on Calvary’s cross and rose from the dead.
“Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption (eternal damnation)…” Galatians 6:7-8
“Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?” Romans 6:16
If you haven’t heard this type Gospel communication, it may be time to flee for your life and from the wolf in charge of your current local church and find a true servant of Christ who preaches the Word! We must bathe and gird ourselves in His holy truth and become surrounded with those who are fervently seeking His face. There will be no excuse in that Great and Terrible Day.
Most churches today are mere playhouses for the leaders and those who attend (2 Tim. 4:1-5). Entertainment is the order of the day, not true biblical Christianity which seeks to glorify God exactly the way He told us to in His precious Word.
According to God’s Word to us (Ezek. 33:12-13), all of your past fruit or relationship with Christ is null and void (forgotten by God) if you are not submitted fully to His glorious Lordship at this moment. If you refuse to lay it all down and follow Jesus in truth, on that Great Day of Judgment He will grant you what you chose on earth – to live separated from Him. The one who lives his earthly life outside of an intimate abiding in Christ, can expect to be separated from Him for eternity in the lake of fire where the dense, horrid and ferocious flames of the literal ocean of fire will torment his helpless, conscious soul forever. Hell is for keeps. This eternal prison of fire is the point of no return and we should all consider that damnation is the eternal home of all who are not fully submitted to Christ, the only One who can rescue the depraved soul from the flames of the domain of the damned.
If one reading these words is now ready to be fully right with God, he should bow his head and heart and cry out to the One who loves him and was crucified to save and bless him. Never mind the slightest questioning or excuse – ARE YOU READY TO LAY IT ALL DOWN? OR, will you turn away and forsake what is perhaps your last call and opportunity to make things right with your Maker and Judge? To refuse to fully come to repentance upon reading these words, is to kiss the gates of Heaven and turn and militantly march through the gates of hell.
“Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.” Isaiah 55:6-7
Your Prayer Of Complete Surrender And Repentance:
Father in Heaven, I have sinned against You grossly and have no one to blame except myself. I have rebelled and done things my way and not Yours. Holy Father, I hasten to repent. I now beg You in this very instant to forgive me and cleanse my soul of all the iniquity and sin I have committed. Wash me with Your sinless, holy blood Jesus and make me a new creature in Christ. From this moment forward I will follow You to the end of my life! I am ready to suffer persecution for Your precious Name Jesus, my LORD and my God. I lay my life in Your hands, never to take it up again unto myself. Father, Into Thine hands I commend/commit my spirit. From this moment forward I will never be ashamed of You again but will proclaim Your salvation to others as I eagerly look for Your soon return. In the name of Jesus, Amen.

Example of prostitution: Whoring out one’s daughter would be to send them to college to learn the ways of the world, of Satan who is “the god of this world,” where they are taught how to fulfill the role of the man—and not a woman (1 Timothy 5:14). No godly parent does such.
Having seen you buy his lies, Satan is laughing you all the way into hell, the bank of unrepentant sinners.
Whoredom has and does today destroy nations. We are seeing a once strong America brought to its knees for the whoredom, namely of those who vainly claim Christ as Savior.
“For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have COMMITTED FORNICATION with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.” Revelation 18:3
“And the kings of the earth, who have COMMITTED FORNICATION and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning.” Revelation 18:9
“But he answered and said unto them, An evil and ADULTEROUS generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas.” Matthew 12:39
1 Corinthians 6:12-20
Flee Fornication
“All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.
13 Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.
14 And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.
15 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.
16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.
17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.”
“The Pure in Heart”
“Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.” Matthew 5:8
Only those who are born again and die with a pure heart will be with the LORD.
“Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” Proverbs 4:23
“Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.” 1 Timothy 6:12
“I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:” 2 Timothy 4:7
“Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck:” 1 Timothy 1:19
“Seek the Lord and his strength, seek his face continually.” 1 Chronicles 16:11
“And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.” Matthew 11:12
On the topic of fornication brother Allen Campbell writes:
“Someone asked me if it’s okay to have relations with a person you love. No, having relations with your boyfriend or girlfriend is called fornication and is a serious sin, because it’s a sin against your own body. Your body is a temple for the Holy Ghost that is in you. Since your body belongs to God, for it has been bought with a price, we must glorify God with our bodies. If you’re committing fornication or adultery and do not repent, then you will not inherit the kingdom of God.
1 Corinthians 6:18-20 KJV – Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.
1 Corinthians 6:9-10 KJV – Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
Revelation 21:7-8 KJV – He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
Let’s LEARN Scripture, BELIEVE and OBEY our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ of Nazareth.”
Fornication of Many Forms—all life-destroying and condemned by God
The word “immoral” appears exactly ZERO times in God’s Word, the King James Bible.
“Fornication” appears 36 times.
“Adultery” appears 40 times.
“Lust(s) appears 43 times.
“sodomite(s)” appears 5 times.
Let’s never use the words “sexually immoral” again. Let’s use God’s words for such sin. After all, the use of the phrase “sexually immoral” is subject to sinful man’s definition while the Bible words listed above are clear and convicting.
It’s not “promiscuous”—a word found no where in God’s Word (KJB). The Bible calls all sin outside of the marriage between one man and one woman “fornication.”
“For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should ABSTAIN FROM FORNICATION:” 1 Thessalonians 4:3
Say it with me out loud: “call it what it IS!”
WE often hear of counterfeits, pretending to be Christians, say things like “Well, I don’t care what you do behind closed doors.” To one such lost soul, the following reply was given:
GOD cares about the souls of men for whom He sent His only begotten Son to die (John 3:16). He cares about all “sexuality,” that is, as it pertains to “fornication” which is any and all sex outside of the marriage bed between one man and one woman. ALL, every fornicator is going to burn in the lake of fire (Revelation 21:8, 27; 22:14, etc.).
Sex is Only Safe in Marriage – between one man and one woman.
“Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.” Hebrews 13:4
All fornication is sin.
ALL sex outside of that which is between one man and one woman in marriage, is sin. “Fornication” includes every form of sexual perversion.
All forms of fornication is sin. Fornication is any sexual activity with self or anyone outside of ones opposite sex marriage partner.
MESSAGE RECEIVED:
“What about people who are in a relationship and live together and supposedly are not having sex?”
REPLY:
Good morning sister. I didn’t quite understand the first part of your question but as far as living together, cohabiting, such should be for married people only. “FLEE fornication” right? It seems that our LORD’s Word hems us in…. either marry or flee. Seems we have to determine if we truly desire to marry that person and if so, move into doing so, or flee.
“Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.” 1 Corinthians 6:18
As we see exemplified by the beloved Joseph, when tempted by Potipher’s wife, he dashed! Why? Fornication cannot be overcome otherwise or by staying in the fire and expecting not to be burned (Genesis 39).
“Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.” 1 Corinthians 7:1-2
1 Thessalonians 4:3-8
“3 For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:
4 That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;
5 Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:
6 That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.
7 For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.
8 He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.”

God has a beautiful plan. – If we will simply do things HIS way and no other. HE is able. HE is greater than anything you face today. Memorize Ephesians 3:20 and Mark 10:27, now.
1 Thessalonians 4:1-8
A Life Pleasing to God
1 Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more.
2 For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.
3 For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:
4 That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;
5 Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:
6 That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.
7 For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.
8 He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.”
God has a beautiful plan. Perhaps, at least in part, God’s “Thou shalt” nots mean “Don’t hurt yourself”!

The Victory of the Cross [podcast]
“Always bearing about in the body the dying of the
Lord Jesus, THAT the life also of Jesus might be made
manifest in our body. 11 For we which live are alway
delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life
also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal
flesh. 12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you.”
2 Corinthians 4:10-12
Many feel hopeless, like they can never overcome the flesh.
Yet, we know that God is able to bring the victory He
ordained in our lives through the crucified life He
commanded that we walk in. “For ye are dead, and your life
is hid with Christ in God” (Colossians 3:3).
Powerful ministry that bears fruit for the glory of God only
comes out of the cross life with Christ whereby you are dead
and buried and Christ is raising you up by His grace, and His
power is filling, propelling and flowing through your life to
minister His truth and love to others (2 Corinthians 4:10-12).
As we consent to our own death and burial, Jesus raises us
upward in HIS divine strength. Divine empowerment in the
life of the disciple of Jesus comes from His resurrection grace
working in our lives as we consent to our own dying—death
and burial. Death and burial precede God raising us up. God
cannot raise us up if we aren’t dead and buried. This cross
concept is at the center of our walk with Jesus, whose death,
burial and resurrection are enacted in our own lives daily
(Romans 6).
“The cross is the answer to loving Jesus more. Your flesh is enmity (hatred) against God. It is the enemy of God and lives in rebellion against Him. It will not submit (Romans 8:7-8). Unless the carnal mind is crucified this rebellion and hatred towards God lives inside you and will be in a constant war with your flesh and the Spirit of God. They are polar opposites! One is light and the other is darkness. The darkness (flesh) must go to the cross to be dead and buried so Jesus can breath into you His newness of life (Romans 6). Then we can begin to love the Lord with all our heart, soul, and mind. And with the love of the Lord we can love our neighbor as ourselves (Matthew 22:37-40).” Karen Cochran
Prayer: Father, in Jesus’ name, I am here and now crucified
with Christ. I am dead and my life is hidden with Christ in God.

Abiding
Supplying Saints and Sinners with Heavenly Sustenance
HIS TRUTH IS MARCHING ON – THROUGH HIS PEOPLE
“The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it.” Psalms 68:11
THERE is no time to waste – Jesus is coming. We must get the Word of God into the hearts of people, in every way, via any and all communication mediums available to us today. And this is the fulfillment of Matthew 24:14 – “And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” Let’s roll saints!
“We are labourers TOGETHER with God.” 1 Corinthians 3:9
The graphic below is for the order I just placed with the publisher for a fresh supply of the ministry books.
This ministry outreach, ministering God’s Word to thousands daily, is a vehicle for our LORD’s Word. What’s needed is more disciples who will monthly support it, who will put fuel in the tank in order to propel it forward to reach more and more people with the Gospel of our LORD Jesus. Will you answer that call?
“But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. 7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work: 9 (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever. 10 Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;) 11 Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God.” 2 Corinthians 9:6-11
Does it make sense to put a percentage of our earnings into a 401K (or other earthly investment) and not force feed a portion off the top, with a cheerful heart to Christ’s eternal kingdom work? (Read Proverbs 3:9-10; 2 Corinthians 9:6-11)
“Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” Matthew 6:19-21
It has been wisely concluded from what Jesus taught, that:
“The way we spend our money is a direct reflection of the priorities of our hearts.”
Is God truly first in your life? (Proverbs 3:9-10; Matthew 6:33, etc.).
There are no rich men, there is no religious or otherwise organization supporting this Gospel ministry outreach. Just regular people who know and love Jesus and the whole counsel of His truth and are growing in His grace daily with the other members of His remnant body (2 Peter 1:2; 3:18). There are monthly bills that only get paid by having the actual, the literal money in the account. In turn God turns that giving of earthly money to HIS work into heavenly treasure for all who give (Luke 16:9-11; Acts 20:35). These expenses are incurred by pushing the Word of God to the hearts and minds of the people and available to be paid and that’s God’s opportunity placed in YOUR lap to supply. In response, what is the LORD going to do? (Matthew 6:19-21; 2 Corinthians 9:6-11; Philippians 4:17, etc.)
“And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations. 10 He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. 11 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?” Luke 16:9-11
When Jesus says here to “Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness …,” what does He mean? This writer would like to encourage the reader to delve into this passage, to pray that the LORD will open the eyes of your understanding concerning what He seeks to communicate to your heart.
Of this passage, the Believer’s Bible Commentary notes:
“16:9 We should make friends for ourselves by means of unrighteous mammon. That is, we should use money and other material things in such a way as to win souls for Christ and thus form friendships that will endure throughout eternity. Pierson stated it clearly:
‘Money can be used to buy Bibles, books, tracts and thus, indirectly, the souls of men. Thus what was material and temporal becomes immortal, becomes non-material, spiritual and eternal. Here is a man who has 100. He may spend it all on a banquet or an evening party, in which case the next day there is nothing to show for it. On the other hand, he invests in Bibles … It buys … copies of the Word of God. These he judiciously sows as seed of the kingdom, and that seed springs up into a harvest, not of Bibles but of souls. Out of the unrighteous, he has made immortal friends, who when he fails, receive him into everlasting habitations.’
This then is the teaching of our Lord. By the wise investment of material possessions, we can have part in the eternal blessing of men and women. We can make sure that when we arrive at the gates of heaven, there will be a welcoming committee of those who were saved through our sacrificial giving and prayers. These people will thank us saying, ‘It was you who invited me here.’”
“They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. 6 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed (God’s Word), shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves (eternal harvest, reward) with him.” Psalms 126:5-6
Christ’s Kingdom and His Gift to us to Participate, is Practical
Will you choose to part with temporal money to reap eternal, unending, irrevocable benefits?
An order has been placed for 20 more of the ministry books from the publisher ($125). The plan is to order this supply monthly for the next 3 months – and hand them out, person-to-person. Face-to-face, person-to-person gifting people on a daily basis, usually after they’ve received ministry, is a super-charged transfer of heavenly blessing (Philippians 1:19). As you know if you’ve read any of the ministry’s books, they are Christ-centered, Scripture-rich original Gospel volumes. Holy Scripture is on each page and put in bold print. In the rear of each book is the way to make peace with God. It leads them right to Jesus via and beginning with the biblical truth that we have “all sinned” against our God (Romans 3).
If you wish, feel free to help fund this part of the ministry exploits currently transpiring to get God’s Word in the hearts of more and more people.
“So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” Isaiah 55:11
The glorious Gospel of our LORD Jesus is communicated, disseminated, and received via His Word.
“But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called me by his GRACE, 16 To reveal his Son in me, that I might PREACH him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:” Galatians 1:15-16
As we can all witness, there are so many hungry souls wandering about in this fallen world who desire to receive the Word of God. The personal touch, contact is powerful – as it was when our LORD directed beloved Philip to minister to the Ethiopian eunuch whom our LORD consequently saves (Acts 8:26-40). And some, many and actually most of the people being reached are our beloved brethren who are looking for sustenance. I meet them each and every week. They are hungering and thirsting after His righteousness. Let’s be there for them saints.
Perhaps this can spread to where we are able to drop ship a supply books to some of the ministries this outreach supplies and has for years. If each of us does our simple part, great blessings will result.
Lately I’ve been handing out lots of the Moments with Our Master devotional books. People love them……. This week I had a lengthy breakfast meeting with a rich young ruler type young man. He articulated that all of his earthly success has left him empty in this world. It was a Scripture-rich time. Garrett gladly received a copy of the Moments devotional book and said “Let’s do this again.” His heart was filled with joy during and after that fellowship. He told me that in the past, as he walked with the LORD daily, his life was so much better. With a large smile he said “Man, I’d just walk down the street like I was floating 2 feet off the ground, filled with the joy and love of Jesus, sharing it with others.” Garrett texted me back the next morning with this:
“Appreciate you giving me that book. It’s convenient to use in the mornings.” Garrett
So, as we can witness, this Scripture-rich devotional book is the launching place for this man to seek and walk with the LORD. As usual, all of the ministry’s materials constantly exhort the readers/listeners to get into God’s Word daily for themselves (2 Timothy 2:15).
I know you’ll agree that the Garrett’s of our world matter to our LORD and we are the very “ambassadors” Christ has sent to bless them (2 Corinthians 5:20)! We are the delivery personnel of Heaven – handing out to people the treasure of Christ!
Just a few days ago, I gave 1 copy each to a young couple who I’ve become friends with at the gym (18 years old each). They were happy to receive this gift. First, as I like to do, I asked them if they like to read. One of them said they were currently “searching for something to read.” As usual when giving them the books, I opened one copy of the books and showed them that “there’s one devotional for each day of the year, all on one page. It begins with a Scripture, a few words, and a prayer at the end.” This way they see just how simple it is – and gives them a track to run on, a foundation to build their day upon. EVERY searching person is looking for this very thing. Their lives are meaningless, empty, and lacking the presence of the LORD. This is where we come in saints. As usual, I like to share with them that “This is a great way to begin the day.”
After qualifying the situation by asking people “Do you like to read?” I then ask them if I can give them a book and the answer is always a “Yes.” I then go fetch a book and gift them with it.
The season must now end where the Great Commission work of our LORD is shorted. Let’s fuel up and fill the Gospel war chest saints. It’s right under out noses – as God has placed it there! Let us each do our part (John 4:36; 1 Samuel 30:24).
Anyone who wishes to jump in and begin underwriting the kingdom opportunity cost for this is welcome.
Earthly expenses to do ministry, the most important and only eternal work in the earth, is the kingdom opportunity lying right in front of each of us (Matthew 6:19-21).
“May God empower us through the Holy Ghost to bring not a few guests to the wedding banquet; as we walk in the Spirit with the love of Christ flowing in and through our daily lives, and as we sow in tears; knowing that we shall reap with joy: because He that promised is faithful. To God be the glory in Jesus Name, Amen.” Jon Crane
Let’s review:
“They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. 6 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.” Psalms 125:5-6
YOU cannot do it. I certainly can’t do anything without Christ.
“I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.” John 15:5
Surrender, right? Yes.
Jesus Christ is LORD. He’s our coming King.
