The Fear of the LORD is to Hate Evil: Pride, and Arrogancy #shorts [video]

“Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.” 2 Corinthians 7:1

What did Paul mean by “these promises”? It was those things, including the conditions, he had just penned of:

“Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, 18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.” 2 Corinthians 6:14-18

“I want freedom FROM my sin!! Otherwise, what is the point of the gospel? If it were possible to be saved and remain in our sins, then we would never see Jesus face to face.

Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man will see the Lord: -Hebrews 12:14

Who would want to be redeemed and yet never for all eternity see their Redeemer!?

O, what a fool we must look to the world when we try to pass off salvation and remaining in sin, hand in hand.” Jon Crane

*Note, the question is whether or not your pastor is teaching this biblical doctrine at hand. This should not ever involve anyone self-righteously brow beating you. You, as an individual, must choose to truly serve God via the crucified life, etc. No one else can do that for you.

Can God’s people be “made free from sinning”?

In response to being convicted of his sin, one man, professing believer, said “I need to be strong.”

No.

It’s the cross that is needed in your daily, personal life. When we are WEAK (dead and buried, crucified) then we are strong in HIS resurrection strength. When we are weak in self, we are dependent upon the LORD wholly. Take close note of the cross in this following passage:

“And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness (crucified). Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the (resurrection) power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, THEN am I strong.” 2 Corinthians 12:9-10

“We are weak in our flesh. Matthew 26:41. Sin weakens us. It leads to death. Spiritual separation from God. In this life and eternally. We are only strong in the power of His might. Ephesians 6: 10. Our flesh must die. So we can walk in the newness of life as we are made alive through Jesus Christ! Romans 6.” Karen Cochran

Read prayerfully Romans 6 each morning. Memorize Galatians 2:20 KJB. God will never raise up anyone who is not first dead and buried.

“But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you (the cross message). 18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness. 19 I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness. 20 For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness. 21 What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death. 22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. 23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 6:17-23

You will never hear an eternal security wolf teaching anything about overcoming all sin.

ALL who peddle Satan’s “Ye shall NOT surely die” lie are “accursed” false teachers who are preaching “another gospel” (Genesis 2:17; 3:4; Galatians 1:6-9).

No different than what Satan told the first man and woman, which led to their fall into sin, this same lie is leading millions to “fall away” after being saved (Genesis 2:17; 3:4; Luke 8:13; 1 Timothy 4:1). Jude warns us specifically of these “ungodly men” who are “turning the (saving) grace of our God into lasciviousness” which is a license to sin (Jude 3-4). Eternal security, once saved always saved, and perseverance of the saints are all doctrines of devils (2 Peter 2:20-22; Romans 11:20-22, etc.).

“What arrogance to think you can continue to live in sin and God will welcome you with open arms! God does not have to accept any of us! We all deserve hell. When we stand before Him he has every right to throw us into the fiery furnace. I continue to ask Jesus if He knows me! Because if He doesn’t He will say depart from me I never knew you. Matthew 7: 22-23. We can say Lord, Lord all we want, but those are just words if He does not know us! Terrifying reality! Eternity hangs in the balance! Fight the good fight of faith and fight for your eternal souls. 1 Timothy 6:12. Don’t just assume you will be given a place in eternity with Jesus! None of us are secure until He says well done good and faithful servant, enter into the joy of the Lord. Matthew 25:21.” Karen Cochran

“When I think of the cross I see Grace! Grace is a gift of God. Ephesians 2:8. An unearned and undeserved gift. We deserve Hell. The cornerstone of our salvation is Christ and His grace. When we continue to live in sin we cheapen God’s grace. Make it null and void. Frustrate it. Galatians 2:21. Otherwise Christ died in vain!” Karen Cochran

The cross is the only solution the Savior gave us for “true holiness” (Ephesians 4:24).

“All you need to do is read Romans 6 and see we are to not live in sin but in the Spirit! Read Romans 6 everyday until it sinks way down deep into your heart! We are to be servants of holiness and righteousness! And to not serve sin! Serving sin leads to death! Walking in the newness of Life is walking in our new nature!” Karen Cochran

Romans 6 is a cross chapter. In fact one could rightly call it “the cross chapter.”

Chosen to be Holy as He is Holy – and God always enables what He establishes or mandates.

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: 4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, 6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. 7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;” Ephesians 1:3-7

“Oh taste and see that the Lord is good. Who brought us from darkness into His marvelous light. All praise goes to our Lord who chose us before the foundation of the world. And made us accepted in the beloved. Thank you Jesus that you would consider using us as we are not highly educated but just simple country folks who love You.” Karen Cochran

“Not caring about hidden sin!? Have they never read Hosea? Proverbs? Psalms? 2 John 11?? To wink at sin, one’s own or another is to tread very dangerously in opposition of the Holy Spirit that sanctified them (Romans. 1:28-2:11; Hebrews. 10:26-33). What a fearful thing to treat God’s holiness with such little respect.” Jon Crane

Lots of pastors believe and even state things like “well, we all sin every day.” Basically it’s the laissez-faire lukewarm attitude…..yes and the same frauds claim to believe in saving grace but only for Heaven, not for empowering the born-again abiding saints to overcome sin (Romans 6:16).

False leaders today have people trained to look for little coping band-aids, things that profit their immediate situation yet squander their present and future state. The false leaders today can be known by their messages which coddle their prey in their sin, never calling them to true repentance, to the cross, to a holy, separated life, etc. The result is that these people want nothing to do with a Bible message, a message that is truly Bible-intensive, and this is exactly why these shallow dwellers are “Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth” (2 Timothy 3:7).

Christ’s Remnant Body is Living Organically

THE ORGANIC (no additives) remnant body of Christ walks in God’s truth and love daily – no matter where they are on HIS planet (John 13:35; Ephesians 4:15, etc.). Their lives are sanctified always – not just on Sunday mornings. They belong to one church – the body of Christ which is bought by His precious blood (1 Corinthians 6:19-20; 7:23). They love ALL the brethren of Christ – not just the folk that show up in an “official” so-called “church building” (1 John 4:7-8; 5:1).

A close friend of mine once said, the definition of a hypocrite is “someone who is just not quite themselves on Sunday mornings.”

YOUR PRAYER: Father in Jesus’ name, please make us Your authentic disciples. Purify our hearts and cleanse our lives of every trace of fakery. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

“Matthew 12: 34 Our outer appearance should match our inner self. Impossible for an evil heart to produce good fruit. Your words should match how you live. The fruits of Christ only come from a pure and honest heart. Otherwise your fruit is rotten because your inside is corrupted in sin and filth. By their fruits you will know them (Matthew 7:20).” Karen Cochran

IF a pastor/preacher is not preaching the crucified life, he is preaching “another gospel” and such proves that he is “accursed” and is not living the cross life (Luke 9:23-24; 2 Corinthians 11:3-5; Galatians 1:6-9; 2:20, etc.). This means he’s one of “the enemies of the cross of Christ: Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things” (Philippians 3:18-19).

SCATHING REBUKE TO AN OSAS WOLF

Angelo writes:

“Ya that’s right. God starts it and we finish it. What Lord Jesus did was not enough. We have become co-saviors. Hebrews 10:12 ….look I’m not trying to be rude but there’s no more time for games. You have been deceived by that garbage. Wake up. The Lord Jesus said it is finished meaning debt paid in full. Done deal ! The only thing we bring to the table is the sin that gets forgiven. Period! No where does mention that we are required to be faithful to Him.”

REPLY:

Angelo is an OSAS heretic. God told on him in advance – “Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. 4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ” (Jude 3-4).

So is it okay for you to be faithful to your wife? Yes. If you commit adultery on her your marriage covenant is broken. If you commit spiritual adultery on God, you are separated from Him in your sin (Exodus 20:3-5; Ezekiel 14:3; Revelation 21:8).

So I’ve been deceived by believing God holds me personally responsible to actually participate in the relationship I have with Him and not just trying to use Him to get me out of Hell?

Yes we bring our sin to the table initially but then Jesus saves us, regenerates, makes us His new creatures, temples of His Holy Ghost, and empowers us to please Him. – “having no part dark” in us (Luke 11:36). You apparently truly do not believe in God’s grace which divinely enables His people to overcome all sin, making them ready for Christ’s return (Titus 1:16; 2:11-14). You are peddling half truths and are a false teacher.

Let me quote a few verses those like you intentionally run from and hide from the people because you love your darkness rather than light:

“So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.” Luke 14:33

“Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.” 2 Corinthians 7:1

“Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:” Hebrews 12:14

“But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; 16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.” 1 Peter 1:15-16

Ah yes, HE initiates. We don’t find Him. He finds us (John 12:32; 1 John 4:10, 19-20). No, WE don’t finish it – HE finishes it as we “abide” continue in Christ – on HIS stated terms – the daily cross, crucified life (Luke 9:23-24). Those who don’t “abide” in/with Christ to the end will be cast into the fires of Hell. That’s what Jesus taught – “IF a man abide (remain) not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned” (John 15:6). Jesus was speaking to HIS own as He was when He declared – “And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved,” and “But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved” (Matthew 10:22; 24:13). Apparently you are a cross-less wolf, a coward who makes excuse for instead confessing sin, and misleading others in the same. Paul spoke of you – (Philippians 3:18-19; Proverbs 28:13). You are preaching a false gospel and evade anything in God’s Word that requires you to truly repent, deny yourself, take up the cross – be truly crucified with Christ …. and follow, obey Jesus – because you do not truly love Him. Jesus says “IF ye love me, keep my commandments” (John 14:15), and “Ye are my friends, IF ye do whatsoever I command you” (John 15:14). If you don’t love Him, He says don’t bother obeying me. Obeying Jesus is the expression of one’s love for Him – not to earn His justification. Repent now, sinner. This is why you gullibly bought into and peddle the pre-trib rapture, OSAS/eternal security heresies. – “(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: 19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things)” (Philippians 3:18-19 …..)

“Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. 4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.” Jude 3-4

“He that committeth sin is of the devil”

“He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.” 1 John 3:8

Why did Jesus come?

“the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.” 1 John 3:8

Read 1 John 3 each morning this week.

Any person who has been saved and is not overcoming sin simply has chosen to love self more than the Savior. They are 100% full blown rebels who could care less about anyone but self. The flames of eternal damnation shall never cease to feed upon their helpless conscious souls.

ALL who attempt to cover instead of admit and confess their sin are outside of Christ. They are lost souls. And doesn’t this account for the vast majority of those claiming to be saved by Christ today? Yes. They love their lies their false prophets feed them (Jeremiah 5:31). Read Jeremiah 5-7 and 2 Timothy 3.

Recently, I spoke with a faithful “church member” who also, flippantly spoke of having “many vices and sins.” Sadly, there was no sense of conviction of this sin.

Are you going to attempt to cover or conquer all sin?

“He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.” Proverbs 28:13

“The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which TAKETH AWAY the sin of the world.” John 1:29

YOUR PRAYER: Father in Heaven, You are holy. Please forgive my vile, evil, rebellious and disobedient wicked heart and how I have made myself an idol and committed the sin of spiritual adultery against You. I come to You now in the name of Jesus Christ, asking You to forgive me, to break me, to unite my heart to fear Thy name. Please grant that this heart be an heart of flesh, removing the stony places and multiplying Your enabling and empowering grace to grant this, Your mere servant, Your power to overcome all sin, all that defiles me in Your holy eyes. Do that deeper work dear LORD. Please cause my heart to never depart from You. Teach me the crucified, the cross life you mandated me to walk in dear LORD. Please help me to love You more, to love You supremely. In Jesus’ name.

Can the Saint of Christ be "without Spot" before God? [podcast]

May God bless us in Honoring His Word…. and Exposing Satan’s Lies Can Christ’s saints can be “without spot”? If so, how? Heaven bound disciples of Jesus never make excuse for, never cover their sin! No, they confess all sin in true repentance. Reading Romans 6 each morning this week will be a blessing to your life. Paramount to all things in Christ’s kingdom, His people must understand that “without FAITH it is impossible to please him” (Hebrews 11:6). Being saved and abiding, remaining in Christ is first by faith, and that true saving faith will always manifest in the […]

The Myth of Eternal Security [podcast]

“For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee.” Psalms 73:27 BAD NEWS FOR CROSS-LESS COUNTERFEITS WHO HIDE BEHIND THE “ETERNAL SECURITY” SHAM: YOU WILL BE ETERNALLY SECURE WHEN AND IF YOU ARE WITH JESUS IN ETERNITY, NOT BEFORE! Can’t leave Christ after He saves you? Think again… dear one who continues to search for a way to justify your sin, for not truly repenting and laying down your life in this fleeting sinful world and overcoming (Luke 9:23-24; 14:27, 33; 17:33; 19:27; Titus 2:11-14; , etc.). All […]

Can a True Believer Overcome All Sin? [podcast]

Yes. In the church world, there’s an abundance of talk about sin and it comes with the notion, the inflection, the false assumption that somehow, born again believers are relegated to sinning, as if there’s no other choice. Is that true? Is this the biblical perspective? What I want us to do is make sure we are looking at the whole of Scripture and be blessed to gain a godly confidence that our Savior provided a perfect salvation that includes more than just the initial washing away of our sins. This “great grace” that He provided in His “so […]

The Myth of Elevation without the Cross [podcast]

THE CROSS: Know it. Live it. Preach it. God will never lift up those who stand in their pride but only those who bow before Him in humility (Psalms 145:14; James 4:6-10, etc.). Running to a “revival” is not the answer. The reason people run to a “revival” is due to their refusal to deny self, take up the cross daily, and thereby be re-vived (filled with life!) daily – experiencing the resurrection of Christ each day in their personal lives as God has ordained (Luke 9:23-24; 2 Corinthians 4:10-12). A cross-less life is a life of defeat. A life in […]

The Cross Imperative [podcast]

The cross is not about self effort but rather self denial. “He must increase, but I must decrease.” John 3:30 Dear LORD Jesus, please take all of me. Have Your way in this life. “not my will, but thine, be done.” Luke 22:42 The cross, the blood of Christ’s cross is what He commanded we take up daily in order to follow Him (Colossians 1:20; Luke 9:23-24). The divine economy is a cross economy and that is the only way one can truly walk with the LORD, pleasing Him in all things. Pouring over the words of 2 Corinthians 4:10-12 is […]

“I have Espoused you to one Husband” [podcast]

“And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.” Luke 21:28

After detailing the things that would be occuring in the earth before His return, Jesus then instructs us what to do: “look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.”

We’ve come way to far to turn back now.

Now that the LORD has found and saved you, you are now engaged to be married eternally to Christ, the Great Bridegroom.

“For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.” 2 Corinthians 11:2

The word “chaste” is defined this way:

ἁγνός
hagnos
hag-nos’
From the same as G40; properly clean, that is, (figuratively) innocent, modest, perfect: – chaste, clean, pure.

One source notes:

“The phrase “I have espoused you to one husband” is from the Bible, specifically 2 Corinthians 11:2. It is spoken by the Apostle Paul to the church in Corinth, where he uses a metaphor of a father ‘betrothing’ a daughter to a groom. In this context, he is the spiritual father who has led them to believe in Christ, and he has now given them to Christ, the one husband, as a pure virgin bride.

Spiritual father: Paul compares himself to a father who has arranged a marriage for his daughter.

The Church as the bride: The church is the ‘daughter’ being given in marriage.
Christ as the husband: Christ is the one husband to whom the church is being betrothed.

Purity and faithfulness: Paul’s ‘godly jealousy’ is his fear that the church will be led away from its pure and simple devotion to Christ, much like Eve was deceived. He wants to present them to Christ as a ‘chaste virgin.'”

What bride is Jesus returning for?

“Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.” Ephesians 5:25-27

How we know His bride:

The true bride of Christ that He is returning for is in the Word, being sanctified and cleansed by it “with the washing of water by the word.” Jesus is returning for His remnant body, bride who are known in that they are walking, living in the Word. They are obedient to read and obey Him, it. Read Psalm 1.

“But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. 3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.” Psalms 1:2-3

The Marriage Supper of the Lamb

6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.

“And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.” Luke 9:62

“And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved. … 13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.” Matthew 10:22; 24:13

“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. 10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.” Galatians 6:9-10

PRAYER: Father in Jesus’ name, please make me holy. Anoint my life to the death and burial of self that You might raise me up daily in Your victory and fruitfulness. Unite my heart to fear Thy name dear LORD. Into Your hands I here and now submit my spirit and life. In Jesus’ name.
