Did Mary Die for Our Sins? [podcast]

Blasphemous Antichrist Idolatry: Mary on the Cross

This is demonic. Mary was a sinner (Luke 1:47-48). Mary can’t hear prayers. Mary told you to obey Jesus (John 2:5). Mary didn’t walk on water, raise the dead, open blinded eyes, or die for anyone’s sins. God has spoken to us through His Son, not mary. “God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; 3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;” (Hebrews 1:1-3) Only Jesus can forgive your sins and save you – “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.” (Acts 16:31)

“God wants us to worship Him in spirit and in truth, we walk by faith not by sight. The images Mary etc. are false images as related to God. These false images give us an incorrect impression of the true Jesus Christ, and are, in fact, a part of the devil’s great master deception and should be treated as such. It is not wrong to picture (in our mind’s eye) Jesus Christ in His glorified state as He is today, as John described in Revelation 1:14-16: “His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; 15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. 16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.” (Revelation 1:14-16) God would not have inspired this description unless He wanted us to know Christ’s glorified appearance. Amen. Welcome to the family of God.” Marjorie Banks

Mary on Cross Above Jesus. In catholic theology and art, Mary is always elevated above Jesus Christ. Pure, antichrist Idolatry!

In catholic art, Mary is many times seen OVER Jesus which is consistent with their antichrist doctrines. But God’s Word tells us that Jesus Christ, the Almighty God, needed no help redeeming mankind when He offered His blood on the altar of the cross.

“Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;” Hebrews 1:3

The catholic church perpetrates the heresy that Jesus was a co-mediatrix with Christ. But the Bible tells us:

“For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;” 1 Timothy 2:5

THE CATHOLIC CHURCH TEACHES THAT MARY IS MEDIATRIX/co-redeemer:

Pope John XXIII 1959, stated: “Mary is a SOURCE of SALVATION to the HUMAN RACE, 2003 OUR Sunday Visitor MAY edition. Also, “Mary is the MEDIATRIX of the GRACES that flow from her son’s Redemptive sacrifice.” Pope John Paul II, Cathechism #969 “Mary is the ALL HOLY ONE”. And #2677 “has a saving office and brings forth the gifts of eternal salvation”

Jesus is the only Hope God gave us for forgiveness of sins – Jesus stated: “The Son of man hath power ON EARTH (not in “purgatory”) to forgive sins.” Matthew 9:6

Anyone see Mary in that statement from the Son of God? No.

GOD NOR MARY HERSELF NEVER INSTRUCTED ANYONE TO LOOK TO MARY FOR GRACE OR ANSWERED PRAYER. Jesus told us that He is exclusively the only way to the Father.

“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

There is no other way to the Father and to Heaven except Jesus Christ.

Mary can save no one. Mary couldn’t save herself. She was a sinner and admitted such when she called God her Savior. Only a sinner needs a Savior. Notice in this prayer the thing Mary stated as she exalted the LORD and not herself. She calls herself a mere “handmaiden” of the Almighty:

“And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,
47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
48 For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
49 For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name (not Mary’s).
50 And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation.
51 He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.” Luke 1:46-51

Mary admits she’s a sinner when she says “he hath regarded the LOW estate of his handmaiden.” (Luke 1:48) Mary did not exalt herself but rather admitted her own sinful state in these words.

Like all men, Mary was a sinner and a sinner cannot forgive or save a sinner. Only Jesus Christ, the Almighty can do such (Revelation 1:8).

Her use of the words “God my Savior” reveals that mary was a sinner – ONLY a sinner needs a Savior.

GOD THE FATHER GAVE JESUS (not mary, the pope or catholic church) FOR OUR SINS – “FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON.” JOHN 3:16

It’s true that the central Theme of all of Scripture is Jesus, and that is precisely the point… the catholic church places emphasis upon mary and this is demonic in that it is causing great idolatry – people’s attention is diverted from Jesus to mary.

NO SUCH THING AS A CATHOLIC WHO IS A CHRISTIAN: Think about this … what water did mary ever walk on? Whose blinded eyes did mary open? what dead person did mary ever raised from the dead? what leper or lame person did mary every heal? what cross did mary foretell she was going to die on for the sins of the world? what cross did mary die on? was it mary who was sent from Heaven to bleed and be buried and rise again? is mary coming back soon to save the people of God and judge the wicked?

The Bible never says mary was “full of grace” BUT rather Jesus … “And the Word (Jesus) was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” (John 1:14) …. Notice here that when speaking of the Son of God the Bible says that He, not mary, was “full of grace and truth.”

One former catholic says: “My whole life as being Catholic almost 40 years I never saw one person bring a Bible to Mass. … never… and I never missed Mass… and I attended Mass all the time… I was also an office manager at one of the larger churches in the community of 5 thousand so I would be there everyday as they would have Mass everyday… never no bibles…”

Mary was a sinner by her own admission – Luke 1:47 – only a sinner needs a “Savior” – “And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, 47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.” Luke 1:46-47 (KJV)

Of the catholic church,

WP writes:

“What a Travesty that Mary and every Other Saint has a day devoted to Him or Her, yet JESUS Christ falls behind these others in Importance. Especially given JESUS Shed his Blood and Resurrected so we can be Saved.”

No such thing as a catholic who is born again. Stop all justification of this and help them get saved!

Catholic Church Exposed

Message Received from a Catholic:

I need some convincing. I would love it, if you would please cite a Bible verse or verses saying each of the following:

1) that Mary was NOT conceived immaculately
2) that Mary COMMITTED sin
3) that Mary WAS NOT assumed into heaven

Response:

Immaculate conception or immaculate deception? You have been grossly misled and are therefore basing what you believe on what mere sinful men have told you. The Bible is God’s Word and therefore, the more appropriate questions from His holy Word are:

Where does the Bible tell us that Mary was immaculately conceived? Nowhere.
That Mary was somehow not part of the “ALL” whom the Bible says “HAVE sinned.” (Rom. 3:23) “ALL have sinned.” Mary was not sinless. She admitted to the need of a Savior and only sinners need a Savior (Luke 1:47). Then she admits to being a mere handmaiden or servant of the LORD (Luke 1:48). So, Mary told us right there that she was not immaculate or sinless or a co-mediatrix.
Where does God’s Word ever hint that Mary was “assumed into heaven”? (fairy tale, a mere fable)

Question: WHY DIDN’T MARY HERSELF TELL US SHE WAS SINLESS IF SUCH WERE THE CASE??? Why O Why does Scripture never hint that Mary was sinless? You see, your religion is of the enemy of all souls and he is the enemy of Jesus Christ. So, he has and is directing your affection/attention away from the only One who can save you from your sins and hell – the nail-scarred, risen Savior, Jesus Christ. Only Jesus was sinless. He is unique in all of history and Satan does not want you to know Him.

Mary is never said to be excluded from being a sinner in God’s Word. To elevate Mary to the place of being sinless is nothing less than idolatrous and takes away from the uniqueness of Christ, the only sinless man ever after Adam and Eve before they sinned.

Whose sins did Mary or the Pope ever die for?

What Scriptures in God’s Word tell us that Mary was buried and raised again?

What miracle did Mary ever do?

What water did Mary ever walk on?

Whose blinded eyes did Mary ever open?

What lame person did Mary ever heal?

Did you realize that of the 27 books of the New Testament canon, that Mary is only mentioned in 6 of them? That means that 21 of the 27 books of the New Testament canon don’t even mention Mary once. Why? Because she played a small part in the plan of God as dozens and dozens of others have played throughout history. But there’s only one Mediator between God and man, one Savior of lost souls, one LORD of all lords and King of all kings, and His name is Jesus Christ.

JESUS says: “The thief (Satan) cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” John 10:10 You have not mentioned Jesus Christ even once, so in this alone we see you are being misled, no matter what feeling you seem to be having. This is pure idolatry.

Catholic Idolatry: Mary on the Cross

WHAT DID MARY HERSELF TELL US TO DO? “His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he (JESUS) saith unto you, do it.” John 2:5

IS MARY YOUR IDOL?

Why does the Catholic church want people looking to Mary instead of Jesus for salvation?

Why is glory stolen from Jesus and given to Mary?

WHY, WHY, WHY is glory stolen from Jesus and given to Mary?

If Mary plays a role in salvation, why didn’t God tell us so in His Word?

Did the Almighty and all-knowing, eternal God forget to tell us something we needed to know? Something important?

Who will you trust to save you? The Mary of church tradition, or the Jesus of God’s Word?

Why does the Catholic church so overemphasize Mary? Diverting attention from the very Son of God?

False prophet Pope Paul VI “constantly worked to increase the worship of Mary.”

WHERE DID JESUS TELL New Testament CHRISTIANS TO HONOR MARY?? – CHAPTER AND VERSE PLEASE.

WHERE DID THE BIBLE EVER SAY MARY WAS A PERPETUAL VIRGIN? IMPOSSIBLE. SHE WAS ONLY A VIRGIN TILL JESUS WAS BORN. SHE HAD AT LEAST 6 KIDS AFTER Jesus – IN MARK 6:3 THEY ARE NAMED.

As Usual, in Catholic Paganism, Mary is Lifted Above the Only Savior and LORD.

THERE IS NOT ONE VERSE IN THE BIBLE THAT INSTRUCTS NEW TESTAMENT CHRISTIANS TO LOOK TO MARY TO PRAY FOR THEM OR BE A SOURCE OF ANY KIND TO THEM: There is not one hint of such in any verse of Holy Scripture. Did the Almighty and all-knowing, eternal God forget to tell us something we needed to know? Something important?

Who will you trust to save you? The Mary of Catholic tradition, or the Jesus of God’s Word?

Did the Son of God lie to us? Is He not the only “WAY” to the Father and to Heaven instead of eternal hell? If He is, that means Mary, the Pope, and the Catholic church have nothing to do with salvation and will only damn your soul to hell (there is no purgatory). Who will you believe? Jesus “I am THE WAY … NO MAN cometh to the Father but by ME.” (John 14:6)

Catholics will profusely argue that their religion doesn’t worship Mary, yet its theology and art work and the billions of dollars spent on statues of Mary prove otherwise.

The Catholic church and its pagan teachings are the most diabolical, antichrist system ever known to mankind. God describes in detail and tells us that He will destroy this wickedness in “one hour.” (Revelation 17-18)

Make no mistake: The WHOLE Catholic system is an antichrist system designed by Satan himself to misdirect the heart affections of the masses AWAY FROM the ONE who bled to save them on that cross. Jesus Christ alone can save. Mary was only a woman, a sinner.

There’s only ONE that can save from sin and eternal damnation and that’s Jesus Christ, the Son of God who died on that cross one time to pay the full price for the sins of all men. The Father spoke several times from Heaven telling us all of Jesus that “THIS is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased.” (Matthew 3:17, etc.) God never said anything about being pleased in any other sinful person because only Jesus was sinless, divine, and qualified to pay the price for the sins of mankind. No one can or will be saved from sin and hell outside of repenting and putting their full faith in Jesus Christ who bled to redeem their wicked souls.

Romans 5
“For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

⁷For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.

⁸But God commendeth (displayed) his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

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

¹⁰For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.”

If you die trusting the Catholic church, Mary, or the Pope, as sure as you are reading these words you will spend eternity in the lake of fire with no possibility of escaping. The Bible tells us that only those who call upon the name of the LORD will be saved. It’s only through Jesus Christ that you can be saved, not through a religion of mere sinful men who have no authority in the eyes of Heaven.

“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. ¹⁰For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. ¹¹For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. ¹²For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. ¹³For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Romans 10:9-13

—- AS a previously lifetime Catholic, upon truly being saved, my heart immediately knew that that system was of Satan. I like much of what David Wilkerson says but I do not agree with there being such a thing as saved Catholics because the Bible says “Ye cannot drink of the cup of the LORD and the cup of devils.” (1 Corinthians 10:21)… ALL idolaters shall have their part in the lake of fire (Revelation 21:8, 27, etc.)…. in my opinion, if they had truly repented and gotten saved, they would have come out immediately….. Beware of this delusion friends….. any Catholic who truly repents and gets saved will immediately depart from that blasphemous darkness ….

The Catholic church can be summed up in one word – idolatry. The LORD’s very first commandment to us is “Thou shalt have NO other gods before me.” (Exodus 20:3-4)

—- CAN A TRUE BELIEVER IN JESUS CHRIST REMAIN IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH? No true born again Christian would remain serving devils or amidst unrepentant devils. What does 1 Cor 10:21 say? No truly born again disciple of Jesus can continue fellowshipping with idols and devils and remain in Christ … “Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?” 2 Cor. 6:14 …

To say that a true Christian can remain Catholic is mixture and hogwash … To say such is to basically say that someone can truly be born again and also be simultaneously walking in complete darkness and not being led of the Spirit of God which would in every case lead them out of that antichrist cult (RCC) … The Bible states: “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.” Rom. 8:14

— ETERNALLY long live the final authority of God’s Word. In fact the very reason God gave us His Word in written form is so we wouldn’t be scammed by false prophet religions like this one. “Let God be true and EVERY man a liar.” (Romans 3:4) Is this phony “pope” a mere man? Of course. Hiding behind the sham of a long robe makes this phony antichrist sham no less a sinful mere man and a false prophet at that. The catholic church has no authority at all except in the minds of the deceived who do not know the LORD Jesus Christ. The Catholic church has nothing to do with Christ’s true church (called-out, born again people). The whole thing is false, regardless of whether it’s below or above ground. This Catholic church is all fictitious actually. It’s a fraud, a counterfeit. made up by sinful men to control the masses. They even call it “mass” when they call the cattle to come eat more poison. There is no such thing as a “pope” in the New Testament church. Peter himself never claimed to be such and was not called such until 3-4 centuries after he died as did the other apostles. No such office of a “pope” in word or concept is once named in God’s Word. Besides, God alone determines and has declared and had recorded what is right or wrong. Some old man in a costume sitting in Rome has no bearing on what is right and wrong other than in the minds of those deceived enough to think he does. Read 1 Timothy 2:5; 2 Timothy 3:16. God’s written Word is the final authority. Get a King James Bible and trash the idols.

Carmen Kuit-McGregor writes: “Truth is Gods Word in His Holy book the Bible. RCC worships and makes Mary Co-redemptrix, Idol worship, going to Pope and priests instead of Jesus Christ directly for confession of sins plus many more. God’s ordained “hierarchy” is God-> Jesus Christ ->man-> woman. When I became born again this was the first truth the Holy Spirit gave me through His Spirit of truth that Roman Catholic church is counterfeit Christianity. When you look into history and compare teachings with the Bible you will see His truth.”

Is Peter the Rock or is Jesus? CATHOLIC HERESY EXPOSED! [podcast]

The catholic church prides itself on traditions. “Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the TRADITIONS which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.” 2 Thessalonians 2:15 When Paul spoke of “traditions” it was in direct reference to the divine truth he’d previously delivered to the believers at Thessalonica – which is now the written Word of God. The catholic church, laced and laden with completely un-biblical traditions, vainly attempts to claim their basis for such based on this one verse above. Laughable. Catholic traditions completely contradict the final divine authority of Holy Scripture. For example, can […]

Did Mary Die for Our Sins? [podcast]

Mary is just one of millions of people who have obeyed their Maker. That doesn’t make the immaculate conception heresy correct, that doesn’t make her anything other than a sinner, which she admitted (Luke 1:47). If Mary had refused to obey God, He would have simply replaced her (Esther 4:14). Did Mary walk on water? Did Mary tell anyone to pray to her? Is there even one prayer in the Bible to Mary? No. Did Mary raise the dead, open blinded eyes, heal the lepers, or die for anyone’s sins? No. THE CATHOLIC CHURCH TEACHES THAT MARY IS THE MEDIATRIX/co-redeemer: […]

Maria the Evangelist – Mission Mexico is now supporting Maria the Evangelist [VIDEO]

Picked up a portion of the 10,000 JESUS tracts in Spanish. Thank God and you who gave! YOU made this happen.

“So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.” Acts 19:20

“God is the Lord of the harvest! And there is a great harvest in Mexico because the fields are white ready to be harvested! And now He is bringing forth Laborers!” Karen Cochran

“That is a powerful ministry. May the Lord bless her and your ministry efforts. Praying for this outreach.” Stacy Strother

The fervor, the fire that burned in me a few days ago is perhaps due to this opportunity, now that sister Maria and others have been added to us to support….. we are in a war for the souls of men saints. Thank you for praying saints. The LORD is doing His work in the hearts of men in Mexico.

“Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, 21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.” Ephesians 3:20

On this topic, for your exhortation and edification, feel free to listen to the recent podcast titled LORD Please Prepare and Send Me! [podcast].

The members of the body of Christ came through and we have the money needed to print the first round of 10,000 JESUS tracts.

Keep in mind that the ministry is also supporting brother Allan Abayon in the Philippines as he ministers God’s Word to the Philippino people.

God is able saints.

Please excuse the zeal. Sometimes I err when wanting to make sure we, as Christ’s body, properly, to well support the ministers of Christ He is giving us to support. When you see the video of Maria in action, you will see the blessing and opportunity God is giving us. And this is all because you prayed as Jesus instructed, for “the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.”

“And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. 36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd. 37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; 38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.” Matthew 9:35-38

Have been visiting sister Maria nearly every early evening to give her a big hug, to bless her, to feed her food with cold water, and replenish her supply of the JESUS tracts. In distributing our LORD’s Gospel, Maria misses nearly no one. There’s a constant flow of foot traffic where she ministers and she has a stack of JESUS tracts she keeps replenishing on the store counter that is right there when people check out. Even while we were there last night, the stack diminished visibly.

Today, I picked up a few thousand of the JESUS tracts in Spanish. Next week they will have to balanced ready to pick up. You made this happen saints! (1 Cor 3:6-9) 10,000 JESUS tracts…..

It lasts longer, and
because printing is more cost effective.

When visiting Maria, she is smiling and moving about so swiftly that it’s actually difficult to get good pics of her in action. She is in her zone, in her JESUS zone! Thank you for lifting up in prayer our dear sister in Christ who is one of His “labourers”! (Matthew 9:35-38) YOU prayed and God is answering!

Juan the evangelist!

Maria the evangelist!

And several more!

WHEN we hand out Gospel tracts today, let the recipients see Christ’s love, joy, and peace beaming in and through your life.

Evangelism God’s Way

We also have Spanish Bibles on the way here which some of your have graciously mailed to us. There’s going to be shipping costs when they arrive. Another great kingdom opportunity!

“And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” Matthew 24:14

Recently, and on several occasions, because you care, we were able to feed several people, including sister Maria. There’s no telling how long it’s been since she had eaten. She didn’t ask, we asked her and went to get food and water for her and a few homeless men who also were ministered to…. the Gospel and with food, and cold water to refresh her soul.

“For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.” Luke 19:10

The King’s Marriage

by Karen Cochran

Psalm 45

A Song of Loves

This morning I read Psalm 45 titled the King’s marriage—the story of the King and His bride. This is a beautiful picture of the marriage supper of the Lamb in Revelation 19:7-9. The Bridegroom is adorned in glory, majesty, righteousness and truth and sitting in His royal throne. Then enters the Bride—holy, without spot or wrinkle—wearing the righteousness of Christ. Then Jesus (the King) says, “You are in thy Father’s house and He desires thy beauty and worship.” All because she is wearing the beauty of the Lord—His attributes (Psalm 27:4). She is wearing gold—fine gold—because she has been tried in the fire of affliction. She is one of the five wise virgins who is invited to enter into the King’s palace. What a glorious picture of all who make themselves ready and are clean and white before their King Jesus! Alleluia!

This is the story of a royal wedding. A love song!

v. 1 God has filled the Psalmist heart with a divine Messianic prophesy. Foreshadowing Christ as the ultimate King and His holy bride at the marriage supper of the Lamb!

vv. 2-6 The most significant character in this Psalm is the Lord Jesus Christ. In these verses we are introduced to the King Himself. His beauty surpasses all others. The gospel of grace is poured into His lips. And God has blessed Him forever! He fights for truth and justice, and is filled with majesty, glory, meekness, righteousness, and truth. The Scepter of the kingdom is given to Him. Jesus Christ has all authority over all (Hebrews 1:8). “The voice of God is heard from heaven addressing Him as God and certifying His reign as an eternal one. We know it is the voice of God, because Hebrews 1:8,9 tell us so.” Believer’s Bible Commentary. And God says thy throne “is for ever and ever.”

v. 7 The King of heaven loves righteousness. This is His very nature, and He hates wickedness, because they are the polar opposites. Therefore, He must rule with complete justice. God has anointed Him with the holy “oil of gladness.”

“Christ’s faithfulness to His father while on this earth, as demonstrated by His love of righteousness and hatred of wickedness, is the basis for God’s anointing of His Son. The “oil of gladness” is directly related to His anointing with the Holy Spirit.” Life in the Spirit Study Bible

v. 8 The King of Glory resides in an Ivory Palace and His garments give forth a sweet-smelling savor unto God and His bride (2 Corinthians2:14). The Son of God in all His glory!

v 9 Now enter the bride of Christ! The queen in “gold of Ophir.” She is clothed in pure gold because she has been tried in the fire and has come forth as pure and white (Job 23:10), and holy, with no spot of sin “or wrinkle, or any such thing” (Ephesians 5:27). In order to be considered honorable, she must be clothed with the righteousness of her Bridegroom.

vv. 10-15 The Bridegroom is calling His spotless bride to listen and obey. Since He purchased her, He desires that she cleave to Him only. Loving him above all else. Her husband desires her beauty, as she has been washed from all sin by the precious blood of Christ. The beauty is coming from the Lord (Psalm 27:4). She is filled with the very character of Jesus. Her garments are radiating the sweet aroma of her Master and Savior. And is one of the five wise virgins (Matthew 25). With rejoicing and gladness, she is invited into the wedding with her Groom. Into the King’s palace! Alleluia! Her worship is a response to how much she is loved by her beloved Lord!

v. 16 For all of His beloved faithful believers, this is their spiritual inheritance. That they shall be called into the banquet with the King of glory! A divine promise for all of His children who stay clean and white. And have been adopted into His kingdom by the saving grace of Jesus.

v. 17 Let us always magnify the King. The Messiah. Who has rescued our souls from death and translated us into the kingdom of God. And may His praise be on our lips for ever and ever. Every tribe and nation standing before the throne of heaven worshipping the KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS! Singing Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty!

The whole message of this Psalm teaches us that the King’s royal bride must be pure, cleansed, holy and wearing the robe of righteousness of Christ. And He must be her first love. The one she loves supremely above everyone and everything else. This is the only way she will be accounted worthy to enter into the holy kingdom! And She must bear the image of her King! Then she will be invited to enter into the palace and the Lord Jesus Himself will confess her “name before His father, and before His angels” (Revelation 3:5). Are we ready to be presented to our Bridegroom? Revelation 19:7 says “His wife has made herself ready.” We must be fully clothed in fine linen, clean and white. This is the righteousness of the saints. This is the only way we will be called into the marriage with our Bridegroom (Revelation 19:8-9)! Don’t be caught naked (unprepared) and wearing your own righteousness which is filthy rags. Remember God hates wickedness. And this will lead one to suffer judgment and shame when you stand before your Maker (Revelation 16:15). Don’t let the scepter of Christ fall on your head! Make sure you are considered before a holy God the “Gold of Ophir.” A precious jewel.

This Psalm paints such a glorious picture of how valuable we are to the God of heaven. He desires that we be in His presence. Because His royal bride is wholeheartedly devoted to her Husband, and is fully clothed in righteousness, her Groom is enthralled by her beauty! She bears His image and the beauty of holiness! The Lord has prepared a mansion for all who have made themselves ready that we may bask in His glory and beauty for ever and ever! Alleluia!

White and Clean: Garments of the KING's Bride [podcast]

“Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.” Luke 12:40 Was recently asked to be the care giver for a family friend the last week. Saw daystar TV preachers by the dozen…. and heard not even 1 of them speaking of and preaching to warn the body of Christ to be “ready” for Christ’s return. Unreal. Apostasy. I hadn’t watched “Christian” TV for many years and found it to be just as apostate as before. Not one of those wolves was preparing Christ’s body for His soon return which means […]

Abiding

Humility. Surrender. Sobriety. Restoration. Vigilance. [podcast]

“Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: 7 casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. 8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 9 whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. 10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.” 1 Peter 5:6-10

“Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. 15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” Hebrews 4:14-16

“But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood. 25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. 26 For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens.” Hebrews 7:24-26

May God bless you and I with this child-like disposition, heart! Please do it in us dear LORD, in Jesus’ name.
