Contrary to Popular Opinion, God Doesn’t Need You or Me

The LORD Almighty, is the only self-existent Being. He’s not dependent upon anyone. ALL others are dependent upon He who made and sustains all life, and life forms (Colossians 1:15-17). We need Him. He does not need us.

Any person who foolishly separates Jesus from what He stated in His Word, including His commandments, His instructions to us, is casting away the mercy God wishes to show him.

The true follower of Jesus upholds the words of God as the highest authority to be obeyed. Such a man declares with the psalmist:

“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” Psalms 119:105

Repentance is Essential

The first command of the Gospel is the “repent” (Matthew 3:2; 4:17; Acts 2:38; 3:19, etc.).

“I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.” Luke 13:3

True repentance will always bring forth good fruit.

“EVERY TREE which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.” Matthew 3:10

Any questions?

—- WHY is hell so full of souls who were once saved? Why did Jesus say that some would believe and then “fall away”? See Luke 8:13. Jesus told us – “And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection” (Luke 8:14).

What keeps people out of Heaven and puts them in the eternal incarceration of hell? What did Jesus say they counted more important than Him?:

“cares … of this life”
“riches … of this life”
“pleasures of this life”

What’s the result? – They “bring no fruit to perfection.” Is fruit important to God? Without it, no one will be in Heaven. Does fruit save? No, yet it’s always the product (that which is produced) out of a saving, abiding relationship with Christ. Read John 15:1-16.

Who Will You Call the Liar?

1) Christ, or
2) The “accursed” deceiver whom you have allowed to teach you “another gospel”? Read Galatians 1:6-9.

Did Jesus mean what He plainly stated? Will you call the Son of God a liar in order to continue to believe the fairytale lie you’ve been taught by false teachers who are turning the grace of God into “lasciviousness” (license for sin)? Read Jude 3-4.

Good Fruit is Always the Result of Truly Repenting

Truly repenting, fully surrendering, brings relationship and good fruit to God’s glory. Anything short of true repentance and the associated good fruit will not enter eternal glory.

“Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance: 9 And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. 10 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.” Matthew 3:8-10

THOSE who truly have repented have good fruit and good works in their lives, and this has nothing to do with church attendance which is a lame excuse for good fruit and good works. Serving Christ’s body daily and getting someone saved is more like the good works God is looking for (Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15-20; Luke 19:10; Acts 5:43; 8:4; Proverbs 11:30, etc.). Cleaning a bathroom or singing in a choir in a church building that God never intended be built is not good works in His eyes. Who are we kidding except our own deceived hearts? Serving a false pastor (hireling) who has no heart for lost souls, does not preach only God’s Word under the anointing of the Spirit and in the holy fear of God, is not serving God. Instead, it’s rebellion, bidding Godspeed to Christ’s enemy, and a complete waste (2 Chronicles 19:2; 2 John 7-11).

You see, something else – an idol – is more important to many than Jesus Christ. This is exactly why Jesus foretold that “many” would go to hell and only a “few” to Heaven.

“Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.” Matthew 7:13-14

They do not hate their lives in this fleeting, sinful world. Against the command of Christ they love self. The OSAS (once saved always saved) moral coward wants no part of losing the euphoric feeling of “security” and therefore wants no part of any notion of personal responsibility. He wants to believe he is free to live any way he so wishes. So, he/she will reject this message to his/her own destruction. Just as it led to Adam and Eve’s fall, so shall it lead to their fall. This message of laying down one’s life and forsaking all is Christ’s message – you know, the One they claim saved them. Jesus says: “If ANY man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. 27 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple … So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple” (Luke 14:26-27, 33).

The initial moment when you repented is only the beginning of your walk with Christ. You must “abide” (remain) in Christ (John 15:1-6), you must continue in His Word (John 8:31-32), to count Him more important than self (Luke 14:26-27), to forsake all (Luke 14:33), to love His truth supremely (2 Thessalonians 2:10-12), to seek His face in holy prayer communion daily (Matthew 6:6), to deny self, to take up your cross, and to follow Him (Luke 9:23-24). This would mean that you love Him more than sinful self.

Don’t like this message? Move on then. God doesn’t need you – You need the LORD. It’s your choice to join the millions whom Christ once saved who bought the OSAS lie and so then allowed other things to be more important than Him. Adam and Eve bought this same lie and God kicked them out of His holy presence as a result (Genesis 2:17; 3:4; 23-24).

Unconditional eternal security is a myth – a lie from the enemy of all souls designed to deceive and bring eternal damnation (Genesis 2:17; 3:4; John 10:10). If you believe such an unbiblical fairytale, then you have colluded with the enemy of Jesus Christ and yet you claim to be serving Jesus Christ?

“They that observe” such a “lying vanity” will pay with their own conscious eternal body. They forsake God’s mercy and will suffer the vengeance of eternal fire for refusing Christ – the only Salvation.

“They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.” Jonah 2:8

By not taking God at HIS Word, you defy Him and are His very enemy. He takes this personally. Those who refuse to hear and heed the words of God are “not of God” (John 8:47).

If you want to know Him and to be with Him eternally, listen closely and prayerfully to what He said. He gave you His Word in tangible format. There is no excuse. Anyone who foolishly divorces Christ from His very words, is tying a rope around their own neck.

“Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.” Mark 8:38

Today you may be angry with the messenger of this divine truth and yet if you do not obey God, you will be for eternity angry with yourself and with those who lied to you. Eternal remorse will ensue all those who do not take cover under Christ’s wing by truly repenting and laying down their lives.

“Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. 13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end.” Hebrews 3:12-14

Let us ever remember our great need to be in intimate relationship with our great Maker and how much He loves us.

“God is holy, eternal, almighty, and totally self-sufficient. He does not need any created being, but we do need Him. All of creation is dependent on the life that God alone sustains.” Unknown

“It is of the LORD’S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. 23 They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. 24 The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him. 25 The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. 26 It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.” Lamentations 3:22-26

Prayer of Repentance: Father I have played the game. I am finished with a mere form of godliness and ready to get real with You. I am ready to do business with you, now. Right this moment, if never before, I lay my life in Thy holy hands. I turn to You LORD Jesus, asking You to increase as I here and now choose to decrease. Into Your hands I commend, release, and submit my spirit and my whole being. Please make me to be Your authentic disciple. Strip all falsity and bless this vessel to be completely honest before You and man. I love You LORD Jesus. Please fill me with Your Holy Spirit and use me for Your glory. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Lay Up For Yourselves Treasures in Heaven [podcast]

“LAY UP FOR YOURSELVES”

The only wealth that will last, forever, is that which is gained by obeying God in this life – thereby laying up treasure in Heaven.

Money Has Wings

“Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom. Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.” Proverbs 23:4-5

Instruction: “Labour not to be rich” v4
Instruction: “cease from thine own wisdom” v4
Question?: “Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not?” v5
Wisdom to ponder: “for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven” v5

Note this phrase in v5 (please read carefully) – “riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.” Now watch this – “they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.” What does that mean? Simply, the way we spend our money on earth will testify about our lives on Judgment Day and we will thereby be rewarded or stripped of rewards or even kept out of the kingdom (Lk. 16:19-31; James 2:1-7; 5:1-6; etc.). The usage of our money is a direct reflection of the priorities of our hearts (Matt. 6:21).

Treasures In Heaven

IN previous generations, young men and women gave up their whole life of luxury in America to go to a foreign land to preach the Gospel of Christ. Today we have a generation of professing “Christians” who won’t so much as give up a penny to support the preaching of the Gospel of the glorious Savior they claim to be saved by.

How important is Christ and His Gospel to you? Jesus told us exactly how important we count Him and His Gospel….

People spend, waste money on every frivolity under Heaven and seldom lay up treasures in Heaven using their temporal coin (Matthew 6:19-21). Read Jesus’ teaching recorded in Luke 16.

Our LORD instructs us to lay up treasure, but in Heaven not here in this temporal world where the dollar will soon be obsolete, superseded by rewards earned during this earthly life.

“Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures (lots) in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:” Matthew 6:19-20

Saint of the Most High, are you going to look back in eternity and deeply regret the opportunities God gave you in this fleeting life that you passed up? – to bless another believer or to support the work of Christ and send forward eternal rewards?

“For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” Matthew 6:21

WHERE are you laying up treasure?

Your investments into God’s kingdom work in this short life are truly safe, secure, life-giving, and eternal. No one can take them away.

DISCIPLE OF JESUS, Jesus Christ is all-knowing and sees everything and will reward every good deed or work done in His name and love.

“For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.” Hebrews 6:10

Tithing is not commanded under the New Testament. Yet giving and putting God first is commanded and is the privilege of the saints of Christ (Proverbs 3:9-10; Matthew 6:33; Luke 6:38).

Read Jesus’ parable of the rich fool and memorize Luke 12:15. See Luke 12:15-21.

Mission Mexico Update Part 34 [video]

Mexico Army Personnel Ministered to [podcast]

“Love this walk around ministry here in Mexico. Handed a fella a tract and about 3 minutes later I passed by him and he was still reading it.” Mark

Brother Mark is a studious, diligent disciple of Jesus. Diligently doing the ultimate mission for our Messiah which is eternal. Thank you for lifting our brother in prayer (Colossians 4:12).

Mission Mexico – This is brother in Christ Juan. After ministering to him he lit up and informed me that he is a born again Christian. He is now distributing the JESUS tract on a very busy street where his shop it (the one he owns). God is good. Satan is a liar. Jesus is coming. Let’s roll saints. More Mission Mexico updates here.

“You mentioned our prayers are golden with God. How true this is according to Revelation 5:8. They are ‘golden vials’ (prayers and praises). That go upward to heaven right to the Lord! Carried up to the throne of heaven. And are received as a sweet odour to God! If done out of a pure heart. Because we know He hears the prayers of the righteous (Proverbs 15:29). If we are clothed in humility, our prayers and praises will be a sweet-smelling aroma to our Lord Jesus!” Karen Cochran

Regrettably, most professing Christians will never love Jesus enough to give up this fleeting world for Heaven’s coming King (Luke 14:33; 17:33).

When asked if she desired Christians in the USA to lift her in prayer, Maria immediately responded in the affirmative. Thank you for lifting the people in Mexico in your prayer, right now if you wish to pause.

Last evening brother Mark and I met up again with the dear pharmacist man. Gave him a big hug, warmly interacted with him, and gave him a fresh supply of the JESUS tract to continue to distribute from his pharmacy which is on a very busy corner here in Mexico and has daily walk in and walk by traffic.

A few days ago…. TONIGHT …. Another 50-60 JESUS tracts distributed and God’s Word spoken to many. 99% reception rate. God is good. Jesus is coming. Let’s roll saints. Mission Mexico underway. Your prayers and support are vital.

The receptivity of the Mexican people to our LORD’s Gospel is staggering, utterly dumbfounding.

“Truthfully amazing. I don’t think we here in in America can even begin to comprehend what God is doing in the hearts of the Mexican people. The book of Acts is the closest thing we have to understanding. I just read Daniel 12:3 “and they that the turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.” Your and Mark’s lives in Christ are a shining testament to so many as you lead them to salvation and the righteousness only found in Christ.” Karen Cochran

Recently it was made known that a new batch of the JESUS tracts in Spanish was a need. A dear disciple of Christ funded that. God is good. 1,500 JESUS tracts! Done! appr 7,000 distributed thus far!

After the last newsletter, a dear sister in Christ jumped in and sent the money for us to print 1,500 more of the JESUS tract in Spanish. So now to date 9,000 have been printed during Mission Mexico. Appr 7,000 already distributed! 7,000 souls heard and read the Gospel of our LORD thus far and your prayers and support make this possible!

Jesus the Great High Priest

“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.” Hebrew 4:14-16

God be praised for those who are financially supporting this outreach. We will continue to do with that which comes in. Here are some things that can be done….

More support to others doing ministry in the USA.

We support Allan Abayon, who is a sound disciple and now ministering in the Philippines.

More support for requested books by Jay, a chaplain who ministers to 800 inmates in Texas, on the border. He’s the brother who contacted me after he got a hold of one of the Authentic Disciple of Jesus books (Spanish) in the jail he ministers in. He loved it and asked for more. We’ve only sent him a few dozen as that’s all the money that was given for such…..

Roger (pictured below) is a brother in Christ and after we talked he took some JESUS tracts to distribute. Amen LORD. Roger was asked if he’d like Christians in the USA to lift him in prayer and he eagerly said “yes.” Would you like to pause now and lift up our brother in Christ to the Father in Jesus’ name?

Dear saints in Christ, thank you for agreeing that it is our privilege to help these beloved people, to take out of what GOD has put in our hand to help HIS work.

The Killing Power of the Holy Ghost with Judge Travis Bryan III [podcast]

“For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.” Romans 8:13

“The cross of Christ is the sweetest burden that I ever bore; it is such a burden as wings are to a bird, or sails to a ship, to carry me forward to my harbor.” Samuel Rutherford

Momentum in the power of the Holy Spirit comes from a continual perpetual downward dying motion, being then raised up reciprocally in the resurrection grace of Jesus Christ.

“The flesh loses its power over you when it is crucified. Christ’s power begins to reign. The worries and stress of this life leave. And you begin to have the peace that passes all understanding. Philippines 4:7 Amen! A crucified life! Hallelujah all praise to Jesus.” Karen Cochran

God’s plan for your life….here it is:

“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.” Galatians 2:20

The ministry has put together 3 volumes sure to deepen your life in Christ, in the crucified life. 3 volumes to boost your life in Christ, in the cross He commanded us to take up – and by which He raises us upward in His glorious power and grace (Luke 9:23-24).

The Cross is a Surrender Not a Struggle [podcast]

The Cross is a Surrender not a Struggle Seems apparent that the struggle comes with living in the flesh, from resisting the surrender. In contrast, “the peace of God which passeth all understanding” comes from walking in the Spirit with Christ (Psalms 119:165; Galatians 5:22-23; Philippians 4:7). On the cross…. “And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.” Luke 27:46 Then what happened? “He is not here: for HE IS RISEN, as he said.
