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

A Blood-less Gospel is a False Gospel

Cain offered what he chose to offer God. Abel humbly offered God what God desired.

Cain had a self-styled religion emanating out of his self-serving pride-filled heart while Abel had a Savior-centered relationship with the LORD.

“And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. 9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.” Revelation 13:8-9

From Genesis to Revelation, into eternity, we see the scarlet thread, the divine instituting, establishing, and proclaiming of the blood of the Lamb who was slain from the foundation of the world. If we miss this divine revelation, we missed all. It seems apparent that Bible truths, words such as the blood, the cross, faith, repentance, grace, justification, righteousness, worship, and holiness are all interconnected and inseparable. As you are going to behold in the following moments, everything pertaining to heavenly worship, all that is in the divine economy, in Christ’s eternal kingdom, is predicated upon the precious blood He shed for us.

“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

Beloved of God, when’s the last time you heard a preached message on the blood of Jesus Christ? A gospel that does not center around the cross and blood of Jesus Christ – “the blood of His cross,” is “another gospel,” a false gospel (2 Corinthians 11:2-5, 11-15; Galatians 1:6-9; Colossians 1:20).

“Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation (atoning sacrifice) through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;” Romans 3:25

Are we trusting our own good works, our own “filthy rags” righteousness, or are we trusting the crimson red blood of our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ – that it not only initially, but also continually washes us clean of our sins in the eyes of the “Holy, holy, holy” God with whom we have to do? See Isaiah 6:3; 64:6; Revelation 4:8 and 1 John 1:7.

“Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. 5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.” Romans 4:4-5

Those who seek to work for, to earn, to merit their own justification, instead of surrendering in repentance and faith in the blood of the Lamb of God, the only perfect sacrifice, will perish in the flames of eternal damnation.

“How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation…” Hebrews 2:3

It’s “the blood of Christ” alone that justifies us. We appropriate it, we connect to God by faith in Christ, in His perfect blood sacrifice (John 19:30). It’s by His blood alone that we are “justified” – that we “shall be saved from wrath.”

“Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.” Romans 5:9

May God be praised, afresh, right this very moment and forevermore for “The blood Christ” which exclusively cleanses us of our sin and brings us to Him.

“How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?” Hebrews 9:14

“And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.” Hebrews 9:22

Revelation 5 informs us that we shall in Heaven forever declare in worship, in song the glories of the precious blood of the Lamb of God. All heavenly praise to God will be due to and centered on the blood of the Lamb of God by which we are redeemed, bought back to our God. Read Revelation. Here’s a taste:

“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. 11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; 12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing. 13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever. 14 And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.” Revelation 5:9-14

Nothing but the Blood | Robert Lowry

What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
- Refrain:
  Oh! precious is the flow
  That makes me white as snow;
  No other fount I know,
  Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
For my pardon, this I see,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
For my cleansing this my plea,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Nothing can for sin atone,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
Naught of good that I have done,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
This is all my hope and peace,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
This is all my righteousness,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Now by this I’ll overcome—
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
Now by this I’ll reach my home—
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Glory! Glory! This I sing—
Nothing but the blood of Jesus,
All my praise for this I bring—
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

WHY DID CAIN KILL ABEL?

“Hell is full of people who think they deserve heaven. Heaven is full of people who know they deserve Hell.” Unknown

Cain is the father of all those who do things their own way and not God’s. They are wise in their own conceit (Proverbs 3:5-7).

Cain, a self-righteous, self-willed, religious hypocrite, is the father of the many “false brethren” we have among us today (2 Corinthians 11:26; Galatians 2:4). They worship and yet it’s not according to the stated will and desire of the God they claim to serve and worship. These are the Judases, the betrayers, the traitors who are still slanderously character-assassinating the true worshippers, the children of Christ. They are of their father, the devil as were the God-less pharisees of Christ’s day (John 8:44).

It was because Cain’s own heart was dark and evil, because he was unrepentant and refused to turn to the LORD and do things HIS way, that he slew his brother Abel.

“Because his own works were evil, and his brother’s righteous.” 1 John 3:12

Cain and Abel’s parents were Adam and Eve. Read Genesis 4. Cain murdered Abel due to his religious jealousy. Abel obeyed God by simply offering the Messianic type blood sacrifice. God rewarded Abel for doing things HIS way (Hebrews 11:4). Abel represents those who truly trust God by faith, doing things HIS prescribed way – which is blood sacrifice and faith (Hebrews 9:22). The shedding of the animal blood to clothe Adam and Eve after they sinned prefigured the perfect sacrifice which was to be offered by our LORD Jesus Christ on the cross (Genesis 3:21; Matthew 26:28; John 19:30, etc.). In contrast to his brother Abel, Cain is like those today who serve their religion, vainly thinking they are serving the LORD. See Proverbs 14:12. Following Christ means repenting and believing on Him, obeying and worshipping the LORD Himself. Getting right with God will always lead to ditching religion. If not, those who insist upon clinging to their religion, will perish in the flames of eternal damnation. Jesus Christ is the only way to God, to Heaven.

“Jesus saith unto him, I am THE way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” John 14:6

Any man who refuses to give up his religion to follow Jesus is a hell bound antichrist idolater (Matthew 23; Galatians 5:19-21; Revelation 21:8, etc.).

“By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.” Hebrews 11:4

Do we offer faith in the perfect blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ? If not, we offer the sacrifice of Cain and are possessed with a wicked heart and are in need of repentance.

Do you trust God on the basis of Christ’s perfect blood sacrifice OR is your approach based on your own religious good works? Is your heart engaged, is it in love with Jesus? Is He truly your “first love”? (Read Revelation 2:4-5.) Are you murderously wielding a rusty sword? Are you more like Cain or Abel?

As it was then, so it is now (Ecclesiastes 1:9). Jesus was delivered to be crucified by the envious false religionists of His day (Matthew 27:18). There are those who will jealously attack believers and they do so due to their own envy of God’s blessings on His disciples, who do things HIS way and not their own way. Cain was jealous of Abel his brother and murdered him (Genesis 4). Why? Abel offered the correct sacrifice, the way the LORD ordained them both to offer. Cain did things his way instead and was not blessed as was Abel. So it is today when the wicked become jealous at God’s blessing on the just – the just being those who simply, humbly do things God’s way and not their own way. Isn’t this the same thing that happened to Saul who became enraged and furious with David, so much so that he set out to murder David? Saul was rebellious as he did things his own way instead of God’s (1 Samuel 15:22-23). In contrast the LORD blessed David for being a man after His own heart (Acts 13:22).

Are you saved by grace and operating by grace, or law keeping? | Law vs Grace!

Ever been attacked viciously by those who refused to serve God the way He requires He be worshipped? And they became enraged at you as you humbly served the LORD as He prescribes? Abel and Jesus were both victims of this type evil envy.

“And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David; they were sore displeased.” Matthew 21:15

As opposed to counterfeit religionists, those who truly serve the LORD, do so on the basis of blood sacrifice, culminating in the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the altar of the cross.

Abel’s sacrifice was a BLOOD sacrifice, depicting Christ to come, but Cain chose to make an offering from the earth, which was cursed. Abel did things God’s way. Cain did things his own way. David declared that he “hated every false way” (Psalms 119:104, 128).

Cain and Abel Compared and Contrasted

“In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother. 11 For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. 12 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother’s righteous. 13 Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you. 14 We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. 15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.” 1 John 3:10-15

The Engaged Heart

IS YOUR HEART ENGAGED, OR ARE YOU JUST GOING THROUGH THE MOTIONS?

” …for who is this that engaged his heart to approach unto me? … “And their nobles shall be of themselves, and their governor shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach unto me: for WHO IS THIS THAT ENGAGED HIS HEART to approach unto me? saith the LORD. 22 And ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.” Jeremiah 30:21-22

Counting the Cost - Following Jesus to the End of Your Life [podcast]

The Cost of Discipleship “But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.” Acts 20:24 Those who count the cost refuse to count their own life dear to themselves and this is the only way not to be derailed, to finish our course, enduring to the end. “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; […]

Redemption, Mercy, Forgiveness

On that cross, when dying for our sins – my sins – your sins – Jesus cried out to our Father…. “Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.” Luke 23:34 When Jesus bled on that cross, offering on that altar His sinless perfect blood, it was for the sins of the world – to take them away (Matthew 1:21; John 1:29). “One died for all.” 2 Corinthians 5:14 EVERY person who dies in un-forgiveness is going to hell irrevocably (Matthew 18:21-35; Mark 11:25-26). “And when ye stand […]

Christ Crucified

The word “crucified” appears 37 times in God’s Word, all in the New Testament. To say that “crucified” is a very important divine truth, central to the New Covenant, would be a GROSS understatement. Those who preach a Christ that is not Crucified, preach a false Christ! – “But we preach Christ CRUCIFIED.“ (1 Corinthians 1:23) The significance, the centrality of the crucifixion of Christ, is paramount to the Christian faith. Without propitiatory death of Jesus Christ, there is no redemption as “God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself.” (2 Corinthians 5:19). “To wit, that God was in Christ, […]

Attend to My Words [podcast]

IF THE WORD isn’t flowing into you daily, you are falling away. Flood and fuel your heart and mind and body with the pure, the holy light of God’s Word daily and you will never famish! All darkness will be vanquished (Psalms 119:130). All who have been saved and yet aren’t in God’s Word and prayer daily – have rejected Christ, with no exception. Re-turn to the LORD prodigal. There’s no good outside of Christ the KING.

“The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.” Psalms 119:130

ALL who are not in God’s written Word daily are not hearing from God, do not have God’s wisdom and direction, and are walking in darkness – 100%.

The feeding of Christ’s flock would integrally involve exhorting them to diligently study and walk in God’s Word themselves, daily (John 21:15-17). Isn’t this exactly what the apostle Paul told Timothy to do? Yes. He told his understudy to “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” (2 Timothy 2:15)

One of the ways we know who the false ministers are, is that they want people dependent on THEM, not God. So, they don’t constantly exhort the people to get into God’s Word, the Holy Scriptures, for themselves. Run.

“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.” Joshua 1:8

“He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live. … My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. 21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. 22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. 23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. Proverbs 4:4, 20-23

“Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.” Jeremiah 15:16

“Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.” Job 23:12

“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.” Colossians 3:16

“Over the last 5-10 years I can see where He has done this for me already, but the problem is …. it’s not enough! I want even more! One hour of study and prayer in the morning is not enough!” Christine

Gathering Fruit for Christ’s Eternal Glory [podcast]

IF you are truly born again, God has called you personally to participate in, to obey His Great Commission command— NOT to salvage any country in this fleeting world.

It’s amazing how many people claiming to be saved spend more time, energy, and money trying to save America than they do building up the body of Christ and evangelizing the lost. Anyone claiming to be saved and yet is not participating in the Great Commission command of Christ, is out of the will of God. Repentance needed.

Save America or See Jesus Save Eternal Souls?

“America is under God’s judgment for sure. And recently there was a golden statue made of Trump. And Pastors are praying over it. A golden calf. Same thing happened in the book of Exodus and God slew 3,000 men. This angers Him greatly! There will be a severe price to pay for this adultery! America is definitely going down at the divine judgment of God.” Karen Cochran

Forget saving America. Win souls. Preach the original Gospel to see eternal souls saved unto the LORD. See Mark 16:15-20; Matthew 28:18-20.

A good thing to ask proud Americans who claim they are Christians:

1. “When’s the last time you led someone to Jesus?”

2. “How much time and how much energy do you spend trying in vain to “save America” or “Make America Great Again” compared to the time and energy you spend learning, studying, and meditating on God’s Word and doing it – as in the Great Commission?”

“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 7:21

Anyone claiming to be Christ’s and yet is not doing, is not obeying His Great Commission mandate, is not in the will of God.

Regrettably, America is going down in judgment.

No efforts can undo the present reality of those claiming to know Christ refusing to truly repent, nor the 60 million innocent babies America has murdered in cold blood and called it “choice.”

Honoring something God calls “an abomination” brings “the curse of the LORD” upon any nation to do such. See Leviticus 18:22 and Proverbs 3:33. Sodomy is sin!

“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 7:21

Doing the will of the Father is executing the Great Commission Jesus gave us!

2 BIBLICAL EVIDENCES PROVE THAT AMERICA IS OVER – if there is no repentance, change [podcast]

“Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work. 35 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.
36 And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.
37 And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.
38 I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.” John 4:35-38

Jesus says act now! To put off His work is to put off Christ. Read that again!

“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

Many aren’t putting off their own sinful, lust-filled agenda in the world, right?

There is nothing new under the sun. See the book of Haggai.

They are known by the relentless teaching of the “sound doctrine” of God’s pure Word and the refusal to build up anything but the name of Jesus and His beloved people. “For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and […]

Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee [podcast]

Here’s why Jesus came:

“And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.” John 17:3

There is nothing – NO-THING – more important in your life than your relationship with Christ.

Job 22

“Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee. 22 Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart. 23 If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles. 24 Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks. 25 Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt have plenty of silver. 26 For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto God. 27 Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows. 28 Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways. 29 When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person. 30 He shall deliver the island of the innocent; and it is delivered by the pureness of thine hands.” Job 22:21-30

“lay up his words in thine heart” v22 – WITH the learning of each new verse of Holy Scripture, each new Bible truth, your knowledge and understanding of the LORD and His kingdom is expanded.

In their unrepentant, darkness-loving hearts, many today have created a false god in their own sinful image. Jesus told us that evil “men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.” (John 3:19-21) They choose to look only at the goodness, grace, mercy, and love of God while intentionally refusing to acknowledge that the LORD is “Holy, holy, holy” and that “The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth.” (Psalms 9:16-17; Romans 11:22; Isaiah 6:3; Revelation 4:8, etc.).

Moved by the fear of the LORD, his allegiance and the affections of his heart will then begin to ascend to the “glorious high throne from the beginning” which “is the place of our sanctuary” (Jer. 17:12). “While we look not at the things which are seen, […]
