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

“As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD,” and that means we give to His people in need and to His work and to no other causes not directly impacting precious souls with His blessed Word (Joshua 24:15).

It’s truly amazing to see how quick people are to get out their debit card or check book for causes infinitely inferior to that of the furtherance of the eternal Gospel of Jesus. There’s truly no greater opportunity on the face of the earth than that divine gift of being able to give into the LORD’s work! And, on top of the present joy of participating in the care of eternal souls, the LORD promised to reward us eternally for doing such! (Proverbs 3:9-10; 2 Corinthian 9:6-11, etc.)

“For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous … heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.” 2 Timothy 3:1-5

—–FREE-LOADERS just take, take, take and never give. LUST gets, LOVE gives. Want to get “BLESSED”? “ Give” – “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” (Acts 20:35) Memorize this verse and live it. Change your life today. Cease spending your hours, days, and life self-focused, self-absorbed, self-pitying, and self-serving! Today is your day to truly repent, thank God for everything you already DO HAVE, and ask Him to forgive and cleanse your heart and mind from all ungratefulness, covetousness, greed, idolatry, and spiritual adultery. Such sin will send you to hell – regardless of how saved you may think you are.

“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. 6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. 7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them.” Ephesians 5:5-7

We MUST learn to follow Christ by giving – firstly giving our lives. Then, all else will follow – without fail.

Are we going to be contributors or detractors?

The person who says they have given their life to Christ and yet gives nothing of themselves or their treasures/monies to the work of Christ is deceived. The Laodicean church was full of such deceived people who were hell bound.

“And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; 15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. 17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked.” Revelation 3:14-17

Not many people want to face this music, this truth. We live in Laodicea here in America where people claiming to love Jesus and the truth refuse to give up their lives in this fleeting world. They love their trinkets and are thereby forfeiting eternal “treasures” Jesus told us to be busy laying up (Matthew 6:19-24). Many of them are even forfeiting their eternal souls just as Esau did – for a temporal pleasure – a mere bowl of soup! (Hebrews 12:14-17) Don’t believe me? – WHY does the Bible tell us the rich man went to hell in Luke 16:19-31? What temporary creature comforts did he trade his eternal soul for? … What temporary pleasure or creature comfort are we putting before God and willing to trade in our eternal soul for?

Norman Cumbo writes:

“Jesus said You will know them by their fruit (fruit of the Spirit). What would a man give in exchange for his soul? By that time it will be too late.”

It was too late for the rich man who proved his alienation from God by not helping others (Luke 16:19-31).

Will it be too late for you?

Will you try in vain when it’s too late to dump all your money and things that should have been long ago used for God’s glory to help others?

Nothing will be Able to Buy One’s Way Out of Eternal Damnation!

“Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD’S wrath (judgment); but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he shall make even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land.” Zephaniah 1:18

Like the rich fools Jesus told us about in Luke 12 and 16, all the rich living today who refuse to be generous in their giving, will be ridded – bidden good “riddance” – into eternal damnation from which they shall never escape. There temporary riches in this fleeting life will not longer be in their possession and no amount of earthly riches would be able to pay their sin debt anyway. – “Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivereth from death.”(Proverbs 11:4)

Judas betrayed the LORD and Savior for a mere 30 pieces of silver (Matthew 27:3).

What might you betraying the precious Savior for?

What shall you give in exchange for your soul?

—-THOSE who stand around watching the called-out watchmen feed the sheep of Christ and do nothing to help are part of the problem and not the solution! Do something! Get involved – give. Participate! To neglect Christ’s work and workers is to reject Christ – whether you think so or not. – “Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. 46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.” (Matthew 25:45-46) The hour is late.

Instead of helping, the self-serving, greed-driven counterfeit tells the called-out laborer to “go get a job” when that watchman already works in excess of 60 hours most weeks. Make no mistake: That is the spirit of antichrist who seeks to hinder and dares to try to displace a divinely-called out laborer in Christ’s harvest. Woe unto that man!

—-Giving to the work of Jesus is YOUR privilege and those who give you that opportunity are doing you a service – and God is watching what you will do with that opportunity. Will you turn away and continue to fatten your own self-serving life with more excess or will you repent, and get your financial house in order? The only person who balks at such does so due to their own idolatry, covetous, and greed. That person demonstrates that they are not thankful to the One who gives them all they get and also proves they are trusting their money instead of God. Jesus made it clear that “NO MAN can serve (trust) both God and mammon.” (Matthew 6:24) The person who refuses to sufficiently give of their resources, clearly proves that that person is not given over to Christ and therefore not right with God. They are worshiping and trusting God but self and their own ability and to earn and that money. But Jesus says “WHAT shall a man give in exchange for his SOUL.” (Mark 8:37)

This subject of stewardship is all over God’s Word. Dodging it and thinking that will make it go away is futility. So, in obedience to the LORD, we shall communicate it and call people to repent and give their lives over to the LORD….. without apology.

Personally, I don’t care much for myself, but I do care for the work of Christ and it is crystal clear that those who name Jesus as their Savior are caught up in this world – in “the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.” (1 John 2:15) Their sins must be announced before it’s too late – “Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.” (Isaiah 58:1) You cannot and will not get delivered, set free, and established in the blessings of God until you repent and amend your ways. Set your house in order.

It’s utterly despicable and the testimony of a self-serving generation of people claiming to be serving Christ that those divinely called out to do the most important work in the earth are starved and hindered from doing that most infinitely important work.

Did you realize that Jesus made it clear that He is specifically watching this right here?

Laying Up Treasure in Heaven 60 second video #shorts

“but as his part is that goeth down to the battle, so shall his part be that tarrieth by the stuff: they shall part alike.” 1 Samuel 30:24

A financial investor takes your money and multiplies it for your last few years in this temporal life, right? In contrast, laborers for Christ take your support and multiply it for Christ and themselves for all eternity. In Christ’s eternal kingdom – everybody wins, all the time, forever. King Jesus reigns forever!

“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

“Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.” Luke 6:38

Paul was not coveting any man’s money – “I have coveted no man’s silver, or gold, or apparel.” (Acts 20:33) No! He wanted God’s people to invest in Christ’s eternal kingdom – into eternal souls – and by doing so fill their “account” in Heaven. – “Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.” (Philippians 4:17)

God gives the increase of lost souls as “For we are labourers together with God.”

“I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. 7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. 8 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. 9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building.” 1 Corinthians 3:6-9

Gospel train rolling. Team Jesus! We must obey our LORD Jesus’ Great Command saints. You are not alone – God is with you, and us!

“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” Matthew 28:18-20

Money, Material Wealth, and Riches [podcast]

“Hath nothing” vs “Hath great riches” “There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches.” Proverbs 13:7 Who is the man who has “nothing” though he appears to have much in this world? Who is the man who has nothing in this world yet “great riches” awaiting him in glory? The clear proof that God is working in our lives, that we are truly following Jesus, is that we are becoming less and less vested in this fleeting, fallen world and gaining an eternal perspective (James 4:4; 1 John 2:15-17; […]

PARABLE OF THE TALENTS [podcast]

The Eternal Consequence of Obedience vs Neglect A parable is an earthy story with a heavenly meaning. Jesus’ parable of the talents is a teaching and severe warning of stewardship and the eternal consequences of obeying or disobeying God in the matter of our handling of His resources in this fleeting life. “And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away.” 1 Corinthians 7:31 It is said that of the 38 parables Jesus taught, 16 of them involve stewardship. To further underscore the divine importance placed on stewardship, we should note […]

The Essential of Forgiveness: Are Your Hands Around Someone Else’s Throat? [podcast]

Forgiveness is ultra important to God. If you don’t forgive all others, you are not forgiven of your own sin and are as sure for hell as if you were already there. If you refuse to forgive you damn your own soul, non-negotiably. irrevocably.

GOD SAW IT ALL – HE SAW ALL YOUR SIN AND YET YOU HOLD UNFORGIVENESS TOWARD ANOTHER. IF you want to be forgiven, you MUST forgive. Do it now (Mark 11:25-26). Begin by admitting aloud to God what He already knows – that you are pure evil and have sinned against Him innumerable times! cry out to Him for mercy and declare aloud that no one needs Jesus more than you do!

“Harboring unforgiveness against someone else is like drinking poison and hoping the other person dies.” unknown

The reason people have a hard time forgiving, is that they’ve not yet been brought to the place in God to realize just how wicked THEY themselves are – and how merciful God was when He sent His only begotten Son to die for them “WHILE we (they) were yet sinners.” (Romans 5:6-8)

Outside of Christ’s righteousness, YOU are utterly wicked and depraved in the eyes of a holy God (Jeremiah 17:9; Romans 3, 7). When this finally sinks down into your heart, you will immediately and freely forgive all you’ve harbored ill will against – in utter forgiveness. This breaking all begins when we repent (Acts 3:19).

The sins that should concern us the most, are our own!

People who don’t forgive simply do not realize just how wicked they themselves are.

God will not forgive the sins of any person who refuses to forgive all others – from their heart (Matthew 18:21-35; Mark 11:25-26, etc.). Unforgiveness is non-negotiably, irrefutably, soul damning sin.

Forgiveness is a Non-Negotiable Essential for having a relationship with the LORD and going to Heaven.

ANYone who doesn’t forgive EVERYone is going to hell irrevocably! Matthew 18:21-35
GOD mercifully forgive each of us, His children, not on our own merit or behalf, but rather on the perfect behalf of Christ Jesus! He now requires us to freely forgive all others as He mercifully forgave us. Non-negotiably saints.

We shall not receive divine mercy unless we freely show it to others (Mark 11:25-26). And anyone who denies this calls the son of God a liar.

Father, please forgive my hardness of heart, my obstinance, my heart rebellion. Please forgive my gross sins and grant this heart to be a heart of flesh dear LORD. In Jesus’ name, amen.

“Unforgiveness is poison to your soul. I see many who think by holding hatred and anger they are hurting the person they are mad at! But it damns their own soul! And will destroy you from the inside out! That is God’s judgment if we choose not to forgive.” Karen Cochran

The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant: A Parable is Simple an Earthly Story with a Heavenly Meaning. Matthew 18:21-35

Mat 18:21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
Mat 18:22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
Mat 18:23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants.
Mat 18:24 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents.
Mat 18:25 But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
Mat 18:26 The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
Mat 18:27 Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.
Mat 18:28 But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.
Mat 18:29 And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
Mat 18:30 And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.
Mat 18:31 So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.
Mat 18:32 Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me:
Mat 18:33 Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?
Mat 18:34 And his lord was wroth (furious), and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.
Mat 18:35 So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.

Forgiving others is essential to answered prayer. It’s a non-negotiable, divinely required condition.

“Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. 25 And when ye stand praying, FORGIVE, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. 26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.” Mark 11:24-26

Clear it all out…. the past is the past saints … “Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: 32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.” (Ephesians 4:31-32)

God forgave us in our wickedness, “while we were yet sinners”, on the basis of Christ’s righteousness and in spite of our own evil, sinful state (Romans 5:6-8). Now, as His children, we are non-negotiably commanded to freely forgive all. If we don’t, the Father will not forgive us and if we die that way, we shall perish irrevocably (Mark 11:25-26).

ALL it takes to go the eternal hell is to not forgive just 1 person (Matthew 18:21-35; Mark 11:25-26).

You are not forgiven if you don’t forgive – all, from your heart.

When we realize just how “desperately wicked” WE ourselves are outside of the present saving mercy of God, then will we freely forgive all others (Jeremiah 17:9).

IF THE LORD ISN’T A GOD OF MERCY, WE’RE ALL IN TROUBLE…. SELAH. GIVE OUT MERCY LIKE YOU NEED IT – BECAUSE YOU DO!!!

AS you were shown mercy in your sin, God requires that you show mercy to all others – and if you don’t, you lose His divine mercy. Repent. Acknowledge your own utter wickedness and myriad of sins before God in true repentance, and forgive all – now. Memorize James 2:13 now.

“For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.” James 2:13

A sure way to bring judgment on ourselves is to judge another while we have sin in our own life (Matthew 7:1-5; James 2:13). Repent now.

PRAYER: Dear heavenly Father, I come to You as a vile sinner in and through the precious blood and name of Jesus Christ. I am guilty of infinite sin before You and here and now express to You my thanksgiving for sending Your only begotten Son to die on that cross for me, for my sin of which I am 100% guilty. There is no good thing in me except You LORD Jesus. I am not good but You are dear LORD. Having been freely forgiven by You LORD, I have no business not forgiving all others. In light of how You’ve mercifully forgiven me, I fully understand that You will damn my soul to eternal hell if I refuse to forgive all others of all offenses. Jesus please rebuke and break me to the core of my being, taking away all hardness of heart and granting to me a heart of flesh. Please fill me with Your love Father, in Jesus’ name, amen.
