“Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.” 1 Corinthians 10:12
GOD will remove His presence from you in a heartbeat if you allow pride (James 4:6-10). Memorize and live 1 Corinthians 10:12 now.
—- As the LORD told Esther, so He tells you and I – “If you will not DO what He told you to do, I will replace you!”
We are to serve God on His terms, not ours – or, He will replace us with someone who will.
We need Him – He doesn’t need us – and, we are not irreplaceable! – “For IF thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews FROM ANOTHER PLACE; but thou and thy father’s house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?” (Esther 4:14) Not only was God going to use someone else if she disobeyed, He was going to allow judgment to fall on Esther.
So God was going to going to destroyed Esther and her family for disobedience and yet He won’t judge you if you disobey Him? Delusionment.
Saints, we must be careful to not think that we are somehow God’s special child. He nearly killed even Moses and truly “There is NO respecter of persons with God.” (Romans 2:11)
If such a notion has infected our thinking, perhaps it’s time – today – to confess and relinquish it before the LORD in a moment of intimate prayer communion.
Lots of people who believe they are saved and “eternally secure” do not like their little theology of comfort tampered with. The threat of being “cut off” by God is repugnant to them because they have been convinced by their sinful nature and pastor(s) that they are un-conditionally eternally secure – no matter how they live their life in this sinful world. Is that the truth? Did that idea come from Holy Scripture?
Hell hath seen no fury worse than when truth tampers with the life of ease that’s been beguiled into thinking he has no further personal responsibility to live by faith in full obedience to the Word of the God he claims saved him. Dare anyone – including God Himself – tamper with the little OSAS (once saved always saved) false security zone. God forbid that personal obedience be preached in the holy fear of God to the one who is woefully “at ease in Zion.” (Amos 6:1; Revelation 3:15-16) The eternal securist is living a fairytale myth and wants no part of the biblical truth of personal responsibility to obey Christ to the end of his life or perish (Matthew 10:22; 24:13). No, because he only wants to use Jesus to miss hell but has no intention of obeying Christ. But Jesus says “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)
Here’s an excerpt from the book Lie of the Ages that touches on this very truth:
The LORD Nearly Killed Moses
“And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the LORD met him, and sought to kill him. Then Zipporah took a sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet, and said, Surely a bloody husband art thou to me. So he let him go: then she said, A bloody husband thou art, because of the circumcision.” Exodus 4:24-26
Concerning this text (in Exodus 4), Donald Stamps, in the Life in the Spirit Study Bible, writes:
“‘THE LORD…SOUGHT TO KILL HIM.’ Moses had neglected to perform the covenant sign of circumcision in the case of his own son. This was seen as a clear sign of disobedience on the part of Moses and his wife (vv. 24-25; see Gen. 17:11, note). Evidently God afflicted Moses with a potentially fatal illness until he had his son circumcised. This incident demonstrates that God’s election of an individual continues only as long as he or she remains obedient (see 2 Pet. 1:10, note).”
If we are going to live outside of an intimate, abiding, relationship with Jesus Christ and with sins not confessed in the sight of a holy God, we should get ready to experience the lake of fire, regardless of any previous and genuine relationship we had with Christ (John 15:1-6). It is undeniable that all those who leave this earth in sin will ultimately be cast into the lake of fire (Rev. 20:14-15, 27; 22:11). Jesus taught us to fear Him who is able to cast both our souls and bodies into hell and that it would be better to cut off our own hand or pluck out our eye, than to allow that sinning member to cause our whole body to be cast forever into damnation (Matt. 10:28; Mk. 9:43-49; Lk. 12:5).
Like the man who cultivated and had a heart after the LORD, we should openly and swiftly confess any sin we commit – “For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.”(Ps. 38:18)” (end quote from Lie of the Ages)
Did our LORD not threaten/promise the demise of all non-Jews also (Gentiles) “if” we choose to rebel as the Jews did?
“Thou (Gentile believers) wilt say then, The branches (Jews) were broken off, that I might be graffed in. Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: For if God spared not the natural branches (Jews), take heed lest he also spare not thee. Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.” Romans 11:19-22
As expressed in the above passage and many others, we must never lose sight of the divinely revealed truth that our place with God is conditional not un-conditional – “thou standest by faith.” One who has once believed unto eternal life is never forced to continue to believe. In fact, Christ taught that one could “believe for a while (a season of whatever time frame)” and then “fall away.” (Luke 8:13)
If we so much as die as “lukewarm” we shall be separated from Jesus for eternity (Revelation 2:4-5). The five foolish virgins shall be forever shut out and sealed apart from Christ (Matthew 25:1-13).

10 Truths to Behold in Isaiah 41:10 [podcast]
“Thou art my servant; I have chosen thee, and not
cast thee away. 10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee:
be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen
thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold
thee with the right hand of my righteousness.”
Isaiah 41:9-10
There are 10 truths to behold in Isaiah 41:10:
• “Thou art my servant”
• “I have chosen thee”
• “and not cast thee away”
• “Fear thou not”
• “I am with thee”
• “be not dismayed”
• “for I am thy God”
• “I will strengthen thee”
• “I will help thee”
• “I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness”
The soul that prospers is that one who clings to, trusts in and
relies upon Christ alone, day by day, walking ever nearer to
the soon coming Savior. He is with us and promises to “never
leave thee, nor forsake thee”—that is, for those who abide
with Christ (Hebrews 13:5).
1 Peter 1
“Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
6 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:
7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
Prayer: Dear LORD, thank You for helping me today, and
continuing the good work of salvation You began in me the
moment You saved me. In Jesus’ name, amen.

The Goal of the Ungodly Eternal Security Teachers [podcast]
“Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. 4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness (license to sin), and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.” Jude 3-4
“This is AWESOME! You got all over it. It really flowed. Excellent! In the delivery, your excitement and passion for this subject are unmistakable. How can ANYONE listen to this and not want to check out the Word of God for themselves?” Debbie L.
“Thy prophets (false leaders) have seen vain and foolish things for thee: and they have not discovered (exposed) thine iniquity (have not uncovered your sin), to turn away thy captivity (to get you set free from it); but have seen for thee false burdens and causes of banishment (ultimate termination into hell).” Lamentations 2:14
COUNTERFEITS who hide behind their OSAS fairy tale HATE this biblical reality and are willing to call the LORD a liar in order to retain this heresy – “And he that overcometh, and KEEPETH my works UNTO THE END, to him will I give power over the nations:” (Revelation 2:26)
