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

RECENTLY, while in a conversation with a very deceived man, after listening to him rattle off Bible verses and nonsensical things, it became clear he was deceived by the poisonous heresies of calvinism. When Scripture began to hit his heart that demanded his real repentance and personal responsibility to live holy, he was devastated and attempted to smokescreen (John 3:19-21). Typically, this man went on and on and on about how we as Christians are all just relegated to live in sin – that there’s no way to overcome. He quoted Romans 7 out of context to justify this and to counter I quoted Romans 6:1-2:

“What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? Romans 6:1-2

Saving grace abounds towards no one who is living in sin.

According to Jesus, we know exactly who is “of God” and who is “NOT of God.” Memorize His words recorded in John 8:47:

“He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.” John 8:47

Here’s just a sampling of verses the modern apostate church world refuses to acknowledge much less quote. In fact, most of them are simply gullible dupes who’ve refused to seek God in His Word for themselves and so are simply left to believe and buy into the half truth false gospel the modern seminarian wolves are peddling (Hosea 4:6; 2 Thessalonians 2:10-12; 2 Timothy 2:15). We should all be armed and dangers to speak these words out. The occasion WILL arise. Bible memory is indispensable in ministering. NOTHING speaks more clear to the conscience than God’s exact words. Here’s a few to memorize:

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

“And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.” Matthew 10:22

“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

Simply put, this false gospel, which intentionally dodges hard truth, is the gospel for moral cowards who want Jesus to save them into Heaven but not save them from their sins in this life! (Titus 2:11-14) Not going to happen. Anyone not saved from sin is not saved for Heaven (Romans 6:1-2; Titus 2:11-14, etc.). They love their lives in this fleeting, sinful world more than Christ and that’s proven in that they refuse to hear and come to the light in repentance (John 3:19-21).

The root cause of blindness is rebellion, unrepentance! (2 Thessalonians 2:10-12)

Fresh Start with God | What Church is Jesus Coming Back for? [podcast]

Have You Been Saved for Certain?

The Bible says “Beware lest ye…fall from your own stedfastness.”

In numerous places, the Word tells us that un-Scriptural notions and teachings will lead us “away” from “stedfastness” in the LORD:

“Beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.” 2 Peter 3:17

The only way we can know the false is to intimately and personally know the true – God’s Word. God’s constitution is on record for us in tangible form. While on earth, Jesus defined what “truth” is when He prayed for us to His Father:

“Sanctify them (set them apart) through thy truth: THY WORD IS TRUTH.” John 17:17

God’s Word saves then sets us apart (James 1:18, 21; 1 Peter 1:23, 2:2). Personally learning and knowing God’s Word is the only protection we have against falsehoods. After using all of his might and power to teach the FULL-counsel of the LORD, the apostle Paul solemnly warned the Ephesian believers of those who would come behind him seeking to deceive the disciples at Ephesus. Here is what Paul warned them and us of:

“For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.” Acts 20:29-30

Deceivers are those who are in leadership positions and through disobedient lives, have been sent a “strong delusion.” (2 Thess. 2:11) Many of our leaders are under the influence of Satan – no matter how “nice” and “cordial” they may appear. Beware. Rat poison is 95% good corn meal.

Counterfeits hate truth, especially spoken in divine authority…. exactly what the false religionists hated about Jesus (Mark 3:1-6; John 7-8, etc.).

God will forge in those who truly fear Him a rigid, inflexible, unbending, bull dogged-love for His truth! (Romans 3:4) Jesus says the written Word is truth (John 17:17). ALL who do not hold to His truth, enduring sound doctrine, will perish in their own corruption (2 Timothy 4:2-4). They will be damned, eternally, irrevocably incarcerated in hell and the lake of fire. We have His guarantee on that (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12, etc).

TODAY we often hear people herald folk who “stand up for their beliefs.” No one’s going to Heaven for “standing up for his beliefs.” You can believe lies (anything outside of Scripture) as sincerely and hard as you wish and bust hell wide open! Only those who receive, believe, and obey the truth are in Christ and will be with Him eternally.

“Let God be true, but every man a liar.” Romans 3:4

If something stated is the truth – it’s the truth whether you deny it or not and will come back to haunt you if you do.

“There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” Proverbs 14:12

Many if not most pastors today are quite biblically illiterate. Beware. Know God’s Word for yourself or you WILL be deceived – without exception (Isaiah 9:16; 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12; 2 Timothy 2:15). ALL who truly know and love Jesus are diligently seeking His truth, daily – with no exception. Those who are not “valiant for the truth” of God eliminate themselves from Christ’s eternal kingdom (Jeremiah 9:3). They are turned over to “strong delusion” and deceived and will be “damned.” (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12)

“Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12

False teachers and prophets are an absolute REALITY throughout the NT era. Notice the definitive wording of the Holy Ghost here, like this phrase: “I KNOW THIS, that after my departing SHALL grievous wolves enter in among you.” (Acts 20:29)

IF you are not consistent and relentlessly diligent in seeking Jesus, you are not real! If you refuse to stay upon God you have not truly repented!

In conclusion, the LORD tells them how He desires to protect them and keep them safe from deception. Remember that God could have spoken many things here through Paul to reveal to His people how they are to remain protected in Him, and here is what He stated:

“And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace (this is the way to remain protected in the LORD), which is able to build you up (spiritual strength), and to give you an inheritance (eternal life) among all them which are sanctified.” Acts 20:32

Many so-called “Christian” leaders today condone and send folks to books (resources) and men who espouse and teach psychology, problem-centered counseling (instead of Christ-centered counseling), philosophies, traditions, and outright heresies, etc., instead sending them to God’s holy Word which is the only protection from spiritual infection. Leading someone to follow anything except the very Word of God is antichrist and contrary to the LORD’s warning to us in Colossians 2:8, which states:

“Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him…” Colossians 2:8-10

Fellow disciple, we “are complete in him”, our Savior Jesus Christ, who is the grand and central Subject and focus of all of holy Scripture.

PRAYER: LORD, make me intense about knowing You through Your Holy Spirit and Holy Scriptures. Please captivate my heart dear LORD. Teach me to discern using Your holy Word and Holy Spirit. I love You my LORD Jesus. I beg You to grant repentance to and cause my heart to ever love You more and devour Your wonderful words. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Jesus Is Coming,

Recently a man continued to push and peddle his OSAS/eternal security lie to which the following response was given:

OSAS is the doctrine of moral cowards who refuse to man up and repent for real, lay down their life, die to self for real, take up the cross and follow Jesus for real. They want the crown but not the cross. They want to use Jesus to get to Heaven but don’t want to serve Him according to His cross prescription.

Laboring Fervently for Christ’s Body [podcast]

“Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God. 13 For I bear him record, that he hath a great zeal for you, and them that are in Laodicea, and them in Hierapolis.” Colossians 4:12-13

One source notes:

“Epaphras’ prayer is a powerful New Testament model of intercession found in Colossians 4:12. As the founder of the church in Colossae, Epaphras is described by the Apostle Paul as ‘wrestling’ or ‘laboring earnestly’ in prayer so that his congregation would stand mature, firm, and fully assured in the will of God.”

Jesus Heals the Paralytic Man who was Dropped Down to Him from the Roof

Mark 2

“1 And again he entered into Capernaum after some days; and it was noised that he was in the house.

2 And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the word unto them.

3 And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four.

4 And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay.

5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.

6 But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,

7 Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only?

8 And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?

9 Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk?

10 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,)

11 I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house.

12 And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion.” Mark 2:1-12

Abiding Under the Shadow of the Almighty [podcast]

“O Lord, thou knowest: remember me, and visit me, and revenge me of my persecutors; take me not away in thy longsuffering: know that for thy sake I have suffered rebuke. 16 Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: Jeremiah 15:15-16

Dwelling “in the secret place of the most High”

“He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.” Psalms 91:1-2

“In the secret place of the Most High – Spoken probably in reference to the Holy of holies. He who enters legitimately there shall be covered with the cloud of God’s glory – the protection of the all-sufficient God. This was the privilege of the high priest only, under the law: but under the new covenant all believers in Christ have boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus; and those who thus enter are safe from every evil.” Adam Clarke

“[Psalms] 91:1, 2 Jesus is the One who in a preeminent way dwelt in the secret place of the Most High, and abode under the shadow of the Almighty. There never was a life like His. He lived in absolute, unbroken fellowship with God, His Father. He never acted in self-will but did only those things that the Father directed. Though He was perfect God, He was also perfect Man, and He lived His life on earth in utter and complete dependence on God. Without equivocation He could look up and say, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in Him I will trust.” Believer’s Bible Commentary

Dwelling in the Secret Place of the Most High [podcast]

“And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.” John 17:3 Prayer communion is inseparably connected with knowing God (John 17:3). Knowing the Father and the Son is the whole purpose for which He made you. “That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. 4 And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.” 1 John 1:3-4 Beloved of […]

The Warnings of the Book of Jude [podcast]

“Reformed Theology“, is just a fancy way of saying ‘We know better than Paul, the old testament prophets, even David! And the very apostles who walked with Jesus must be unlearned men or liars.’ Nay, I will not say such a thing of my LORD and Saviour, Christ Jesus. Let God be true, and >every< man a liar.” Jonathan Crane

It’s “ungodly men” who mislead the gullible with the eternal security heresy, and the heretical doctrines and system of calvinism. Jude warned us of just that, as did the prophets (Jude 3-4; Jeremiah 23:17, etc.). Then Jude reminds us of God’s judgment upon His own covenant people who were saved out of Egypt (the world) and then “afterward destroyed.” Then Jude reminds us that God judged the angels, a third of them, who rebelled against Him and were terminated from His domain, Heaven (Isaiah 14:12-15; Luke 10:18; Revelation 12:7-12, etc.).

“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. 5 I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. 6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.” Jude 4-6

The Book of Jude

Greeting

1 Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called:

2 Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.

Judgment on False Teachers

3 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.

5 I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.

6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.

7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.

9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.

10 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.

11 Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.

12 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;

13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.

14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,

15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.

16 These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men’s persons in admiration because of advantage.

A Call to Persevere

17 But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;

18 How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.

19 These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.

20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,

21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

22 And of some have compassion, making a difference:

23 And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

Doxology

24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,

25 To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

Grace vs Holiness [podcast]

“The horrible travesty we have in America today is Christianity without holiness.” A.W. Tozer Grace and holiness come only from God. The LORD is Holy and He extends salvation by grace to repentant, believing sinners at the moment of conversion. Grave vs Holiness: WHY is one of these two so overwhelmingly overemphasized by today’s pastors and self-appointed “grace teachers,” when the other is prioritized by God as is demonstrated by the number of times it appears in Holy Scripture?
