“NOTHING CAN STOP THE ELECT FROM GOING TO HEAVEN – RIGHT???” WRONGGGG
Crass, Insolent Attitude Among Many Who Claim to Know Christ
“All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us.” Amos 9:10
Note here in this very important verse that the LORD points out an inner attitude among His very own people (of all generations) that has and is leading to their undoing and ultimately the eternal damnation of many. Should we hearken to this warning and learn from history? It is incumbent upon us that we understand and carefully and conscientiously heed this warning before it is too late.
The covenant Jews of Amos’ day said in their hearts that “The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us.” This reveals the insolent attitude possessed by these backslidden Jews. In their hearts they imagined “The evil we are now committing is not going to prevent us from the blessings of God, including eternal life.” These people, like many today, were self-deceived into thinking they would not receive a just recompense for their sinfulness. Their whole attitude is one of lightness toward the things of God and a crass disdaining of His holiness and command to be holy.
“All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us.” Amos 9:10
Of this Amos 9 text, the Life in the Spirit Study Bible denotes:
“9:1-10 I SAW THE LORD. In this fifth vision, Amos saw the LORD beside the altar in His sanctuary, ready to destroy all the worshipers by bringing the sanctuary down upon their heads. Those who escaped would be killed by the sword; all the sinners among the people would die (v10). Likewise, when Christ returns, He will severely judge all within His churches who are living a sinful lifestyle; none of them will escape God’s wrath.”
Let’s look close at what the LORD is saying to us individually here in Amos 9:10. Please mark this verse in your Bible and make it a matter of personal study and focus. The Almighty identifies here an attitude among many who claim to know Him and He hates it. The first thing the LORD identifies is the “sinners” among His own “people” (not the lost) whom He guarantees will “die by the sword” which means to be eternally judged if they don’t repent. Why? Because they “say (in their hearts)” that “The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us.” In other words they vainly imagine in their darkened, deceived hearts that the sin of worldliness they are living in will not “prevent” them from going to God’s holy Heaven because they have been made to believe that they are eternally secure – no matter what they do or do not do. Saints, this is the manifest fruit of this deadly lie of the ages and how it is playing itself out in the hearts and lives of men who have been poisoned by this arsenic satanic seed of the serpent.
Isn’t this the same dark-hearted attitude we see from God’s apostate people throughout the history of Israel?
“For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me, saith the LORD. They have belied the LORD, and said, It is not he; neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword (judgment) nor famine:” Jeremiah 5:11-12
Were we not warned that we shall not escape the judgment of God if we “neglect” to obey His Word of salvation?
“How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation.” Hebrews 2:3
The most insidious aspect of this whole deadly deception that is transpiring in our midst is that smiling, comforting men who in many cases are very sincere (yet sincerely deceived), are teaching this lethal lie utilizing selected and out of context Scripture texts to communicate it and make it palatable (acceptable). This they do in the face of Scripture like 1 Peter 4:17-18, which reveals that only a few of those made righteous will escape eternal judgment.
“For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?” 1 Peter 4:17-18
Who is the Almighty going to judge? He is starting at “the house of God” and promises that “the righteous scarcely be saved.”
These who teach and those who buy into the lie of lasciviousness vainly imagine that there will be no judgment to come upon them for their sins. Though some live in sin, they fully believe that they are “eternally secure.” But what does the LORD say?
“And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.” 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10
According to 2 Thessalonians 1, the two classes of people to be “punished with everlasting destruction” are:
“Them that know not God”
- and those
“that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ”
“MY PEOPLE KNOW NOT THE JUDGMENT OF THE LORD”
“Moreover thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD; Shall they fall, and not arise? shall he turn away, and not return? Why then is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return (repent). I hearkened and heard, but they spake not aright: no man repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? every one turned to his course, as the horse rusheth into the battle. Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times; and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of the LORD. How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us? Lo, certainly in vain made he it; the pen of the scribes is in vain. The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of the LORD; and what wisdom is in them?” Jeremiah 8:4-9
Concerning this text (in Jeremiah 8:7), Donald Stamps, in the Life In the Spirit Study Bible, writes:
“MY PEOPLE KNOW NOT THE JUDGMENT OF THE LORD.’ The people were ignorant of God’s law. Moreover, their leaders so distorted the Word of God and falsified its message that the people were assured they could sin without condemnation (v.8). In a similar manner, the apostle Peter speaks of those who twist the word of God to their own destruction and to the destruction of others (cf. 2 Pet. 3:16). We must beware of any ministers who teach that those who willfully continue in sin and rebellion against God will still inherit salvation and the kingdom of God (see 1 Cor. 6:9-10).”
- As was the case in the garden, the occasion the devil chose to first issue forth this
“ye shall not surely die”
- lie, was in the sanctuary of God. So it is today – right in our midst! Beloved, Be discerning! Beware! Be biblical!
A refusal to truly repent and die to self is the reason some believe the OSAS myth.
This is the same deadly falsehood that has echoed through the corridors of history and is alive and well in our day, propagated by those claiming to be the representatives of the Son of God, who never hinted nor taught such a doctrine.
To equate this Lie of the Ages, sin-justifying heresy to the grace and Gospel of Jesus Christ is nothing less than blasphemous! The historical account of Jesus Christ reveals in crystal clear language that He came to take away sin and save His people from not in their sin. Any person who believes they are saved and yet is living in sin, is under the judgment of the Almighty. Any person teaching that one who was once saved is always going to be saved no matter what, is teaching a false gospel and “deceiving the hearts of the simple.” (Rom. 16:17-18) Beware!
If Jesus Christ came to die and take away about sins, how is it that we justify living in them?
Creating a god in their own image, some vainly imagine that the LORD in not going to judge them for living in sin and that He somehow understands their sins. Perhaps the world of sin-justifying psychology has corrupted their minds.
While speaking about obeying and abiding in Him, Christ stated:
“If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin.” John 15:22
There is no excuse for living in sin after Christ shed His blood to be the propitiation for our sins.
The Lie of the Ages is embodied in the notion or idea that man can live in disobedience to his Maker and still remain in His grace. We must deny emotions and sediments and lock into and wholly embrace God’s written revelation of Himself. If not, we will be at risk of being separated from His presence as the first man and woman and millions upon millions throughout history have been.
Biblical version of salvation is one of initial faith to be justified and to continue in that faith, accessing His grace while abiding in Him and His teachings.
PRAYER: LORD Almighty, You told us in Your Word that You are going to judge Your own people and that those who justify sinning will be eternally damned. In any way my thinking has been corrupted and contaminated by the lie that justifies sin, please forgive and cleanse me Jesus. LORD please purify my heart, thoughts, actions, and life. Please fill me afresh with Your Holy Spirit and Your truth. I now return to You and love You Holy Father and look forward with fervency to being with You and Jesus my Savior and LORD. In Jesus’ holy name. Amen.
Will Everyone Jesus has Saved be in Heaven?

Summary of Tom Wadsworth’s teaching on modern worship as compared to the New Testament church [video]

The corporate type church buildings begun with the cult of Rome as did the seminaries. This is Satan’s typical centralization model (think tower of babel). Centralization of the church building and the installed wolves go hand in hand in order to control what happens, doesn’t happen and what is taught and not taught. All Satan then has to do is install his unsaved seminarian agent false teachers into those “official” church buildings.

Occultic Origins of the Law of Attraction and the Secret and Word of Faith Theology [video]

The Law of Attraction and The Secret and Word of Faith Theology are Witchcraft Operated in by Self-Serving, Christ-Denying Rebels
“WITCHCRAFT” is on the list of soul damning sins (Galatians 5:19-21). Witchcraft breaks down to control. It’s simply when man takes control, in place of God. Cross-less. See Isaiah 14:12-15 and 1 Samuel 15:22-23).
The law of attraction is 100% witchcraft and manipulation and not trusting God.
“The Law of Attraction is from the Devil. 💯 Someone had brought it up in a group Wednesday and the Law of Attraction is making us out to be as GOD and bring things we think into existence. Praise Jesus 🙏 let this knowledge be known to everyone. what is the law of attraction simply it is thinking about something you want a car for example and all the individual will do is think of this car “bringing” it into existence all day think of it picture themselves driving it sitting in it etc. 🚗 only…” unknown
What are you willing to sell your soul for? What so-called temporary “success” are you willing to trade Jesus in for? Who are you truly serving? Have you truly repented, falling upon the mercy of God for your gross iniquity and laying down your life? “Except ye repent ye shall all likewise perish (go to hell).” (Luke 13:3, 5) (This is a good video but we do not condone all of the author’s teachings.)
“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. 7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.” Proverbs 3:5-7

Full of The Holy Ghost [podcast]

We must be empowered by our LORD to do HIS work (Acts 1:8).
When we are born again the Holy Spirit is in us (1 Jn 3:24; Rom 8:9,16)…. yet there is a baptismal measure, the full measure God wants to give us as a gift….. to empower His people (Acts 1:8; 2:38-39, etc.).
In order to have divine “power” to be Christ’s witness, one must be baptized with the Holy Ghost (Acts 1:8).
****WE MUST not only preach the original Gospel, we MUST be divinely empowered by the Author of that original Gospel! Acts 1:8 …. Are you born again and baptized with the Holy Ghost? If not, you are not yet equipped by Heaven to do the work of Christ! Acts 1:8 It’s only “AFTERRRRRR that the Holy Ghost is come upon you” that divine power floods your being to do God’s work. WHO ever taught us that WE can, WE are sufficient to do God’s work? Delusionment! Let’s do things GOD way saints. Beginning now. ARE YOU anointed by God to preach sinners and backsliders into Christ’s kingdom? (Acts 1:8)
The apostles thought it so important to make sure every born again kingdom saint was filled with the Holy Spirit. When some in Samaria were saved, Peter and John went down and that they’d be filled with the Spirit. Are you baptized with the Holy Ghost?
“Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John: 15 Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost: 16 (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.) 17 Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.” Acts 8:14-17
Re-filled? Yes! While being persecuted for Jesus, the apostles cried out to the LORD…….
“And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word, 30 By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus. 31 And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.” Acts 4:29-31
“They had been filled before, but they were filled again. It is our privilege to claim repeated infillings to make good our leakage and evaporation.” FB Meyer
So many today are consumed with self, have not laid down their lives, and therefore do not care for people. They are too busy building their own empire, temporal ministry kingdom. But Jesus cares and came to set men free from sin and Satan.
Does the Devil oppress people? Notice that Jesus was anointed with the Holy Ghost and power to do what? To do men good and bring healing to “all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.” When God is with us, He uses us to see that men get set free from the oppression of the devil. …. God has an answer for the work of Satan, doesn’t He?
“How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.” Acts 10:38
