Fake News “Bibles” and the Wolves who Use and therefore Endorse and Peddle Them Busted and Exposed!

“Every word of God is pure: he is a shield (protection) unto them that put their trust in him. 6 Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.” Proverbs 30:5-6

Satan is the author of Bible changes – the author of changing what God said. This is no opinion but rather a fact.

Satan will always accommodate counterfeits who cry out to the preachers “speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:” (Isaiah 30:9-11; 2 Timothy 4:2-4) THINK new “bibles” …. the devil’s counterfeits….

Sinful man doesn’t get to choose or decide what God’s Word says, or how it reads for his own sinful self-serving purposes. That’s exactly what you have in the fake news new version “bibles.” Only the unrepentant can continue in this participation with evil (Revelation 22:18-19).

God only ordained one Bible for our language. No other Bible was needed in English when the LORD gave us the King James Bible. Satan flooded the market with his counterfeit “bibles” peddled by his agents working within.

Whether they realize it or not, a person is under the influence/falsity of Satan himself when they attack God’s Word – the King James Bible – which Satan has done from the beginning when he questioned it (Genesis 3:1) and when he added to it (Genesis 2:17; 3:4).

IF YOU WERE SATAN, what would be the one thing you could do to harm the kingdom of light and cause people to go astray from Christ? 1. Change God’s Word, 2. Water down God’s Word, 3. Take away from God’s Word by creating new versions of it…. oh did I mention changing God’s Word? And what is the severe warning of Revelation 22:18-19? … Excuse me, and you are surprised? Darkness.

IF YOU can’t be moved off of Satan’s counterfeit “bibles” you are in darkness, and will call me the bad guy! I wear your scorn as a badge of honor! John 3:19-21

Those who aren’t bothered by fake news “bibles” – the butchering of God’s written revelation to mankind – prove they are in league with the father of all lies and his fake news “bibles.”

To somehow be in the state of mind where we believe Satan hasn’t worked from the Garden of Eden and throughout history to this point, is to reveal that we are completely blinded. Jesus told us that Satan himself has come to steal, kill, and destroy would specifically come and take away God’s Word (Mark 4:15; John 10:10).

Satan is the original source of fake news, undeniably. Jesus told us that he’s the original liar (John 8:44). Read Genesis 2:17 and 3:1,4 to see how he cast doubt on and changed God’s Word – added just 1 word. That’s all it takes (Galatians 5:9). Surely you are not so gullible as to believe he stopped there, are you? his fake news “bibles” are bringing about the prophesied great falling away. are you reading the real English Bible, the King James Bible OR are you reading a fake news “bible” from the father of all lies?

SATAN’s new “bibles” have stripped God’s Word. Example: The NKJV removes the essential word “repent” over 40 times! That’s why most preachers don’t preach the words of Scripture-they’ve been removed from the fake news “bibles” these dupes use. This also demonstrates the depth of darkness of the apostate modern priesthood (Isaiah 9:16; 56:10-12).

IF God’s Word doesn’t matter to you it could only be due to God Himself not mattering to you. If you have a King James Bible you have God’s Authentic Word and not a cheap counterfeit from the enemy of Christ and all souls. The Preserved Word of God for the English Speaking People of the World

Antichrist snakes are the devils who refuse to believe God kept His promise to preserve His Word to all generations (Psalms 12:6-7). WHY? – Simple: They are rebels at heart who refuse to obey that Word. They want to consult with other antichrists by reading the new versions which make a new way, another way, a false gospel. They are “accursed” (Galatians 1:6-9). All who are true to the LORD “HATE every false way.” (Psalms 119:104, 128)

IF I AM persecuted for telling on the devil, showing his evil hand in the proverbial cookie jar, let it be and I will greatly rejoice! Jesus is coming saints. Let us be moved by Him to sanctify ourselves – “Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I am the LORD your God.” (Leviticus 20:7)

RECENTLY: DEVIL-BLASTING LIVE ACTION: After I called a guy to repent of his education of mere sinful men and showed him specifically how the NASB and ESV he touted were corrupt, he responded with a message telling me I was arrogant and worshiped a version of the Bible, etc., I sent him this:

REPLY: No, you are the arrogant, deceived proud heart.. boasting of the foolishness of degrees/status you’ve obtained from mere sinful men instead of seeking and allowing God alone to lead and teach you…. sounds like your feathers got ruffled since you can’t defend those sissy, corrupt new per-versions you are pushing and so are now pridefully lashing out. Apparently you got backed into the corner when asked to specifically explain why Matthew 17:21 is missing from the ESV and NASB garbage versions you espouse and why Romans 8:1 is chopped in half and why the very BLOOD of Jesus is removed from Colossians 1:14. Repent sinner. Jesus never sent a man to seminary. He sends men to the cross and to Pentecost. You’ve been indoctrinated! Bible Versions Issue

“Modern scholarship” comes out of the jesuit-corrupted seminaries and is a belly laugh. Layers and layers of lies covering its dirty tracts are stack up to “confirm” the previous lies. Most modern so-called “scholars” use Satan’s “bibles” which is all we need to know! The corrupt defend corrupted “bibles.” Any man who can use those horrible excuses for a Bible is in darkness. What’s that say for the lightweights many call “pastors” today? You have to cast away the “Spirit of truth” and the common sense God gave you to be indoctrinated by the doctors of damnation and to buy into the new “bible” version lies (John 16:13-14). SMH

The Father of Lies Exposed by Jesus!

“Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.” John 8:44

If you are listening to and reading fake news, you are going to have the blues!

BEWARE OF THE FAKE NEWS BIBLE VERSIONS and the fraud “pastors” who use them. They are blind and leading many astray. Nothing new under God’s sun (Ecclesiastes 1:9) … “His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber. 11 Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter. 12 Come ye, say they, I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and to morrow shall be as this day, and much more abundant.” (Isaiah 56:10-12)

Any man pretending to be a representative for Christ who is using anything but the King James Bible, is a suspect for he is choosing to agree with the LORD’s arch enemy. This is the manifest fruit of truth-hating blindness (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12). They do not love the truth but rather love darkness rather than light and are unwilling, stubborn and hard-hearted and refusing to repent (John 3:19-21). This is the repeated history of Israel’s leaders who continually led the people into rebellion and destruction (Isaiah 9:16). The rebellious form a “conspiracy” against the LORD (Ezekiel 22:25-27). Read Jeremiah 23 and Ezekiel 34 and the prophets and you will see this scenario repeatedly as we see today among men posing as Christ’s leaders. If they would truly, authentically turn their hearts to the LORD, the blindness would vanish (2 Corinthians 3:16-18). Their blindness clearly proves they are refusing to repent. Watch this. Catch this! Grab it……

A MAJOR COMPONENT OF Discerning: “But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ. 15 But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart. 16 Nevertheless when it (the heart) shall turn to the Lord, the vail (blinding darkness) shall be taken away.” 2 Corinthians 3:16-18

Did you catch that? At what point does God remove the vail that blinds? – When a person truly turns their HEART to the LORD, right? Going through religious motions, preaching, singing in the choir, posting Scripture etc DOES NOT guarantee ones heart is truly turned over to Christ, humble, broken, and contrite (Psalms 34:18; 51:17; Isaiah 66:2).

It’s only when an individual truly repents and turns his heart over to the LORD, that God removes the blindness – otherwise they cannot see and will mock at the truth of God.

Truth is only hate speech to those who hate truth!

Now at what point does God Himself send “strong delusion”?

“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

Preceding this passage above, in the beginning of this chapter, of the soon return of Christ and the great falling away that is in full motion, we read:

“Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;” 2 Thessalonians 2:1-3

No doubt that those who use and therefore promote Satan’s counterfeit “bibles” are as Christ’s very enemies participating in this apostasy which ultimately ends in hell.

WHEN you desire to be healthy in your body, the first think you do is switch from poisonous soft drinks to good water, right? When you choose to be a man of truth, the first thing you should do is switch to the King James Bible from the devil’s counterfeit fake “bibles.”

The Holy Spirit, through the prophet Ezekiel, pens this explosive revelation:

“There is a conspiracy of her prophets (leaders) in the midst thereof (where?), like a roaring lion ravening the prey; they have devoured souls; they have taken the treasure and precious things; they have made her many widows in the midst thereof. 26 Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shewed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them. 27 Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain (making merchandise of the people).” Ezekiel 22:25-27

Does Satan have ministers in our midst? What does the Bible reveal on this matter?

Surely all the wolves are operating outside the churches, right? WRONG! They actually target the churches and evangelical Christianity/Christians. They are the very smiling, lying wolves many call pastors today. Are you ignorant of Satan’s devices, methods, and schemes? Read 2 Corinthians 2:11, 1 Peter 5:8, and Genesis 3:1-6.

“Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; even all that the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary (WHERE?). 4 Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their ensigns for signs… They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled by casting down the dwelling place of thy name to the ground.” Psalms 74:3-4, 7

We know from 2 Corinthians 11:12-15 that Satan has his own “ministers” who pose as Christ’s ministers in our midst…. and have infiltrated the ranks of Christianity, operating in our midst as if they are Christ’s. Jesus forewarns us of this exact phenomenon when He said “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.” (Matthew 7:15-20) Is using a Satanic corruption of God’s Word the fruit of a good or a bad tree?

These infiltrators are warlocks who like their master Satan. Jesus says we must know them “by their fruits.” Satan came right into that Garden (Eden) to mislead and cause the fall of mankind. These who yoke with counterfeits and their corrupt “bible” versions are Satan’s emissaries. They are part of the “conspiracy” Ezekiel warned us of (Ezekiel 22:25-27). They have no conviction they are “blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs.” (Isaiah 56:10-12)

Any person who has no conviction about and/or can crassly overlook the corruptions of God’s Word presented in Satan’s counterfeits, is in deep spiritual darkness. If tampering with His Words was not so deeply offensive to the Almighty, why would He have attached such severe, eternal consequences to this sin?

“For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book (includes the lake of fire): 19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.” Revelation 22:18-19

Common, Foolish Objection:

“But wait a minute. The meaning isn’t changed in the new “bible” versions!!!!

REPLY:

When the words are changed, so is the meaning changed. THIS is exactly why God commanded us never to remove from or add to His Word (Revelation 22:18-19)…. He gave no man permission to do such and all who do with experience the lake of fire for all eternity.

The Imperative of Private Prayer [podcast]

We must be aware of our prayers we throw up while they have no congruence with our personal life – when they are shot gun prayers void of the foundation of private prayer, private praying, and holy living.

Private prayer with God is an essential to set your life up for success.

Private prayer is essential to the disciple. Jesus reveals here that those who seek His face in prayer privately, will be used of Him publicly!

Are you at Christ’s feet? Do you live a life of prayer? Have you ever studied the life of Christ and beheld the many instances of His prayer life?

“And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.” Mark 1:35

“Solitary” simply means uninhabited.

If we want to assess our true spiritual state with God, we need only look to our prayer life or lack thereof. Show me a man’s prayer life, and I will show you who that man is! When God is truly first in a person’s life, all else will be demoted in importance!

“Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. 5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.” Revelation 2:4-5

Backsliding begins with neglect of our relationship, our prayer life, our life of prayer with our LORD and Savior.

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

I will either pray my way into glory, or I will not be there. Matthew 26:41

“Hebrews 10:22 “Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.” This is how we are to come to God in prayer and fellowship. With a true, (honest) heart. That has been washed in the pure blood of Jesus! Confessing our sins so our conscience is clear. And we are cleansed from the filthiness of the flesh. Then we can come boldly before the throne of grace! Hebrews 4:16.” Karen Cochran

Prayer: Heavenly Father, I return to You now. Please forgive my sin of prayerlessness. Break me LORD. In Jesus’ name, amen.

The Importance of Private Prayer [podcast]

“But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.” Matthew 6:6 Private prayer is essential to the disciple. Jesus reveals here that those who seek His face in prayer privately, will be used of Him publicly! Are you at Christ’s feet? Do you live a life of prayer? Have you ever studied the life of Christ and beheld the many instances of His prayer life? “And in the morning, rising up a great while […]

At His Feet [podcast]

“Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.” Job 13:15 Job had just lost all of his children and yet held fast his integrity toward the LORD. He would not allow his wife, his friends, or any other circumstance or entity sway his thoughts. This was a man with a real relationship with the living God – one not based on circumstance. First, foremost, and separate from all else, Job loved and worshipped the LORD with his whole heart. We must come to the place where our LORD alone is […]

Our Sin Should Lay us at His Feet [podcast]

“Sin lieth at the door.” Genesis 4:7 One writer takes a shot at this in the following words: “Jesus died for our sins. He is the sin offering for all humanity: past, present, and future. So the offerings in the Old Testament represent the Cross. So in short, if you reject the offering, meaning Christ and the Cross, ‘then sin lieth at the door.’ This means sin will DOMINATE you if any other method is used.” “Sin lieth at the door” – Temptation to sin presents itself perpetually and this is why prayer, abiding communion, perpetual communication with the Savior, command central, is […]

What Eternal Security Wolves Refuse to Teach [podcast]

THE 5 SINS THAT KEPT ISRAEL (God’s own covenant people) OUT OF THEIR PROMISED LAND OF BLESSINGS and will keep us out if not relinquished. Friend, please read 1 Corinthians 10:1-13 with all your might. Make this text your meat.

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.

We are fighting the good fight of faith, “striving against sin” and “more than conquerors” over sin through Jesus who loves us and bought us with His own blood! (1 Timothy 6:12; Hebrews 12:4; 13:12; Acts 20:28; Romans 8:37)

There are the 5 sins listed here that kept God’s people out of His blessings. We all need to L.I.F.T.M. up to the LORD in repentance and for His perfect forgiveness and cleansing. God the Holy Spirit warns us here through Paul’s pen (1 Cor. 10:1-13), that Israel and these sins are “examples” (vv. 6, 11) to all NT believers. God destroys those who go back on Him after knowing Him (transgressors – Ps. 68:21; 73:28; 125:5, etc.). If not ridden out of our lives, any one of these 5 sins WILL keep us out of our promised land. God is holy (Heb. 12:14). As taken in order from 1 Cor. 10:6-10, here are those 5 sins:

Lust
Idolatry
Fornication
Tempting Christ
Murmuring

This simple acronym should help us to remember these sins and remain separate from them as we grow today to know and love our Savior more fervently. “Keep thyself pure” (1 Timothy 5:22).

Committing the sin is one thing (1 John 1:8-10, right) and refusing to repent of it is yet another. Refusing to acknowledge, repent, confess, and cease is what snares the soul and ousts us from Christ (Proverbs 28:13).

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

If the Holy Spirit has quickened any offences of your heart, simply L.I.F.T.M. up to Christ the Redeemer, Forgiver, Cleanser, and Transformer of lives.

Fornication Defiles

“It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have (Gr. possessed and wouldn’t repent) his father’s wife. 2 And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you.” 1 Corinthians 5:1-2

1 Corinthians 10 completely destroys the OSAS / eternal security argument.

Notice the word “OUR” in verses 6 and 11. This is directly spoken to warn NEW Testament saints that they are going to hell if they live and die in sin.

Case closed.

1 Corinthians 10:1-12

1 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;

2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;

3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat;

4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.

5 But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.

6 Now these things were OUR examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also LUSTED.

7 Neither be ye IDOLATERS, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.

8 Neither let us commit FORNICATION, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.

9 Neither let us TEMPT CHRIST, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.

10 Neither MURMUR ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.

11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for OUR admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.

12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.

13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

The cross. Christ raises up those who are crcified with Him – outside of which no man can overcome sin. Romans 6.

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

Eternal security is a false teaching. 1 sin separated Adam and Eve from God and “The wages of sin is (still) death” because God is Holy (Rom 6:23, etc.). Moral coward counterfeits hate, despise the Gospel essential of the cross, the crucified life. They want Jesus to save them to Heaven but not from sin. These are the sin-justifying, grace-perverting “ungodly men” Jude warned us about (Jude 4).

The divine declaration that “The wages of sin is death” which means separation from God, appears throughout Scripture (Romans 6:23).

“He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul; but he that despiseth his ways shall die.” Proverbs 19:16

Die or death always means separation.

OSAS/eternal security is a lie from hell. OSAS was Satan’s first lie and so it’s blasphemy to teach this doctrine of devils and claim it’s part of the Gospel. You are attributing Satan’s lie to the LORD Jesus. Repent now sinner. See Genesis 2:17; 3:4; Romans 11:20-22; 1 Timothy 4:1; Hebrews 3:6, 12-14; 10:26-39; 2 Peter 2:20-21; Jude 4, etc..

The concept of an un-conditional eternal security is not established in Scripture … Except for it being Satan’s first teaching, His first lie – the “Ye shall NOT surely die” lie (Genesis 2:17; 3:4).

“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

“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.” Revelation 19:7-9

“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

“And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.” 1 John 3:3

“Psalms 51:1-19
Psalm 51: Sweet Perfumes of Penitence
Alexander Maclaren once said, ‘The alchemy of divine love can extract sweet perfumes of penitence and praise out of the filth of sin.’ We have an illustration of this in Psalm 51. As the heading explains, it was written by David after Nathan the prophet had boldly exposed him for committing adultery with Bathsheba and for murdering Uriah. Utterly convicted of his sin, David pours out this torrent of penitence from his broken and contrite heart.” Believer’s Bible Commentary

Read and pray Psalm 51.

Prayer of Returning: Holy Father, You gave all when You gave Your only begotten Son who came and died for our sins. You’ve also called me to lay down my life, to lose my life in this fleeting world. I have not done well at giving over my life to You … You alone who are worthy of my full, unreserved worship. Right this moment I ask You to forgive my sin of having another god before You which is self idolatry and spiritual adultery. I have alienated the affections of my heart away from You LORD and onto myself. For this I ask You to forgive me and I right here and now turn to You Jesus. Right this moment I lay my life in Your holy hands LORD. Into Your hands I submit my spirit – my whole being. Not my will but Thine be done LORD Jesus! I am no longer my own. I am Yours. I am dead and my life is hid with Christ in God. I love You Jesus and am ceaselessly grateful that You bought me with the price of Your own blood! You must increase but I must decrease. I ask You to unite my heart to fear Thy holy name! Teach me daily to lay myself aside and to give the reins over to You! In Jesus’ Name, amen.

Eternal Security/Once saved always saved is a lie from hell.

The LORD is Holy and He extends salvation by grace to repentant, believing sinners at the moment of conversion.

Purifying Ourselves even as He is Pure [podcast]

Ready or Not – Jesus is Coming

“And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.” 1 John 3:3

Here’s how you know if you are ready to meet Jesus—whether by dying or His soon return. The context of the Bible verse above is the return of Jesus and being ready for it (1 John 2:24-3:3). Those who live for Christ long to see Him and look expectantly for His soon return. This world is not their
home.

“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

God is holy and He says to …

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

Holiness simply means pure, sanctified.

Clearing out everything that defiles us in His holy eyes is the sign that we are living in fervent expectation of our LORD’s return for His bride.

“His wife hath made herself ready”

“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.” Revelation 19:7-9

We see here again, the earmark fruit of the Heaven bound remnant of Christ, the bride of Christ – “his wife hath made herself ready.”

The washing of water by the Word of God (Ephesians 5:26).

Washed in His Precious Blood

“Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; 19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:” 1 Peter 1:18-19

The Washing of Water by the Word

“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

Your present spiritual state is what matters most to God. In Ephesians 5:25-27 carefully note the state of the Church—the people for whom Jesus will soon return.

Those not purifying their lives (washing daily in the blood and water of His Word), do not live daily with the hope of Christ’s return.

Memorize 1 John 3:3 today.

“And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word’s sake, immediately they are offended. 18 And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word, 19 And 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.” Mark 4:17-19

Jesus warns us here of …

the cares of this world,
and the deceitfulness of riches
and the lusts of other things

We are “espoused” to Christ the Bridegroom. We are not yet married to Him and will not be if we are not purifying ourselves before Him (2 Corinthians 11:2).

“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

All 10 virgins in Jesus’ parable were engaged, invited to attend the the marriage, the wedding (Matthew 25:1-13). Only 5 of them made it in and the other 5 were rejected. Why?

One source summates the importance of the parable of the 10 virgins – where 5 made it and the other 5 were shut out.

“The parable of the ten virgins teaches about spiritual readiness for the return of Jesus Christ, with five wise virgins who prepared by bringing extra oil for their lamps and five foolish virgins who did not. The foolish virgins were turned away by the bridegroom when he arrived, as they were unprepared and missed the feast. The parable, found in Matthew 25:1-13, encourages constant vigilance and preparation for the unknown time of Christ’s coming.”

Here is a picture of our abiding fellowship and relationship with Jesus…..

“Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand. 24 Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.” Psalms 73:23-24

When your vessel is full of the oil of Heaven via fellowship, you will be purifying your life of everything that defiles you in His holy eyes, in the eyes of the Great Bridegroom.

We are no longer our own. We are Christ’s. He bought us, purchased us back to Himself and the Father with His blood.

“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.” 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

“The flesh and spirit”

“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

Prayer: Father, I know You are holy and will have Your holy Bride whom Jesus died to purchase. Please purify my heart, mind and life of all that defiles. Make me holy dear LORD, as You alone can do. In Jesus’ name, amen.

“Loved this podcast. I think it was important to stress that women need to be submitted to their husbands as our country is infested with Jezebels. Who refuse to lay down their lives and submit to God and their husbands. Who can find a virtuous woman? Proverbs 31:10. Do men ask that question? And more importantly our relationship with our husbands is a direct result of our relationship with the Lord. If a woman is not submitted to Jesus she will never submit to her husband. It starts at the feet of Jesus. We must be like Mary. Bringing all of our alabaster box (ourselves) to Him. I love what Job says, ‘The root of the matter is found in me.’ Job 19:28. This is always true! If my husband or anyone else upsets me I must go before God and let Him search my heart and see if there be any wicked way in me! Psalm 139:23-24. And I can guarantee there is. It all starts with me!! Allowing God to purify and cleanse my heart. My heart!!” Karen Cochran

"Behold, I Come Quickly; and My Reward is with Me" [podcast]

God gives each and every person opportunities, right under our nose – so He will be justified in rewarding us if we obey or punishing all who disobey (2 Thessalonians 1:7-10). “Behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his WORK shall be.” Revelation 22:12 The word “reward” appears 80 times in God’s Word and means to pay for service – good or bad – as in reaping what we sow (Galatians 6:7-8). Greek: mis-thos’ Apparently a primary word; pay for service (literally or figuratively), good or bad: hire, reward, wages. Those […]

How to be Ready for the Return of Jesus [podcast]

“Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.” Luke 12:40 Even if we could know the exact moment of Christ’s return, that’s not important in comparison to knowing Him and being ready for His return! Many who once knew Him will not be ready as Jesus taught in His parable of the 10 virgins of Matthew 25:1-13. WHATEVER it takes to be of a humble and contrite spirit, do it. There’s NO-thing you can’t fast out of your life. Read that again. Isaiah 58. Never mind the excuses, the “buts”…. […]
