“The horrible travesty we have in America today is Christianity without holiness.” A.W. Tozer

Grace and holiness come only from God. The LORD is Holy and He extends salvation by grace to repentant, believing sinners at the moment of conversion. Grave vs Holiness: WHY is one of these two so overwhelmingly overemphasized by today’s pastors and self-appointed “grace teachers,” when the other is prioritized by God as is demonstrated by the number of times it appears in Holy Scripture?

Which word appears more times in the Bible?:

Grace, or
Holiness

LET’S DO THE MATH:
Comparing Grace and Holiness

170 to 654 is the score …

Before we do the actual math, let’s ask…..

QUESTION:

Which of these two phrases is found in God’s Word?

— “Grace, grace, grace”

…. OR

— “Holy, holy, holy”

?

ANSWER:

“Holy, holy, holy” is found twice in Holy Scripture (Isaiah 6:3; Revelation 4:8). The phrase “grace, grace, grace” appears nowhere in the Bible.

Shocking: Numbers don’t lie! A stunning revelation of the prophecy of Jude in the modern church world! (Jude 4)

“Grace” appears 170 times in the Bible. “Holy” appears 611 times, and “holiness” 43 times—a total of 654 times in God’s Word. Yet many preach all grace and no holiness – which alone reveals they are “accursed” for preaching “another gospel” (Galatians 1:6-9).

Holiness 654 vs Grace 170

The difference in the numbers here is shocking and should cause us to pause and see if we’ve over emphasized one thing in God’s Word while ignoring another. This is due to a priesthood of preachers passing on imbalances from generation to generation.

It’s quite amazing how so many have been misled. All they can speak of is God’s grace, which they view as a license to sin, and yet these same people NEVER mention and are completely ignorant to God’s holiness. Let’s take a peek at these 2.

Every honest person who is an eternal securist who looks at these numbers will be rebuked, convicted. And, they will have the opportunity to realize they’ve been scammed and it’s all their fault for not diligently studying God’s Word for themselves.

TODAY’S self-proclaimed “grace teachers” are expert at tickling ears and are sought out by the tell-me-what-I-want-to-hear counterfeits (2 Timothy 4:2-4).

Perhaps more than any other Bible topic, the topic of grace offers deceivers the grand opportunity to exploit their prey. This is exactly what the Holy Spirit warns us about in Jude 3-4 and exactly what we see happening on an epidemic scale today.

The many “accursed” false grace teachers today preach “another gospel” as they offer a salvation by grace that guarantees their audience the license to live in sin and still be saved into Heaven when they die – no matter how they lived their life on earth. There’s no such grace taught in God’s Word (Galatians 1:6-9).

“What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?” Romans 6:1-2

Saving grace does not abound, is not applied, is not appropriated by, or accredited to anyone living in sin. Any writer, pastor, evangelist, etc., who is not regularly preaching the essential of personal holiness is preaching “another gospel” and is an “accursed” wolf.

The whole counsel of Scripture communicates to us that God gave us His grace to make us holy as He is holy and not to grant the believer a license to live in the sin Jesus died and rose again to deliver us from. Since God is “Holy, holy, holy,” the Bible teaches us that all who die in sin, regardless of their past relationship with Christ will suffer eternal damnation (Ezekiel 18:4; 33:12-13; Romans 6:1-2, 15, 23; 11:20-22; Galatians 5:19-21; Hebrews 3:12-14; 10:26-39; 2 Peter 2:20-21; etc.).

“For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. 21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.” 2 Peter 2:20-21

In light of this differential between the appears of holiness vs grace, can someone please tell me why there are virtually no messages on holiness in the modern church? ~Greasy grace, the eternal security lie, sells. Holiness does not sell but rather scatters counterfeits.

Obviously, God spoke much more about His own “Holy, holy, holy” divine nature and the necessity of personal holiness in those who will be His – than He did about grace (1 Peter 1:15-16).

The false grace perpetrated by modern church wolves coddles and justifies people in their sin! Jude foretold this very thing! (Jude 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 for sin), and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.” Jude 4

ANY time you see some vile wolf calling himself a “grace teacher,” you know you are dealing with the very “ungodly” grace-perverting devils Jude specifically warned us about. Jude 4

Beware of the many flowery definitions of grace which can be very misleading (Titus 2:11-12; Jude 3-4, etc.). Why not get your theology, your knowledge of God straight from His divine mouth by studying His Word for yourself? (2 Timothy 2:15)

Just as the Holy Spirit warned us through Jude, a false grace is being peddled. Saving grace has been perverted via false teachers (Titus 2:11-12).

God’s grace through Christ did not change His definition of sin and the fact that sin separates the sinner from God – no different than how it separated sinless Adam and Eve after they sinned. The wages of sin is still death (Romans 6:23). Any person who was saved in the past and then dies in sin, will be in hell forever. Read Ezekiel 33:12-13; Revelation 22:11. God is “Holy, holy, holy” and that never changed and never will (Isaiah 6:3; Revelation 4:8).

God gave His Son and gives His grace so His people can overcome all sin, not make excuse for it (Romans 6:14).

Backslidden counterfeits are willingly deceived “enemies of the cross of Christ”, who want nothing to do with anything that involves giving up their lives in this fleeting world and so they hide behind the prophesied grace-perverting false doctrines of eternal security and Calvinism (Philippians 3:18-19; Jude 4).

Wolves are known in that they never teach the crucified life Christ and His holy apostles taught. This is the only way to follow Jesus and the only way to remain holy as He, the LORD is holy.

Below, let’s peek into a wider portion of this passage. Notice just after warning us to beware of the grace-perverting “ungodly men,” the LORD tells us here how He judged His own covenant people and angels. They were all right with Him and then expelled from His holy presence upon sinning – beginning with the angels in Heaven who were expelled due to their sin.

“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, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. 5 I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. 6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.” Jude 4-6

Many are listening to wolves and being indoctrinated with a false grace message. Beware.

SO MUCH is said today in the modern church world of grace, grace, and more grace and yet, little to nothing is ever mentioned of the holiness of God. WOW! Are we really gullible enough to believe that we have divine grace in its proper biblical perspective?

When’s the last time your favorite “grace teacher” even mentioned what God’s Word says of His grace in Titus 2:11-12? Go see why they never mention that! Did Jude not warn us of the “ungodly men” who’d pervert God’s grace? (Jude 4)

It’s only the sin-justifying, grace-perverting frauds who hate personal accountability and obedience as the manifestation, the fruit of true worship and love for God (Titus 2:11-12; Jude 4).

IF you love God, truly, you will obey Him. Those who do not obey Christ, don’t love Him (John 14:15; 1 John 2:3-6, etc.).

Hell is full of people who got saved, then made excuses for their Christ-denying, cross-less life on earth (Matthew 7:21; Titus 1:16).
The way modern wolves preach you’d think grace was the only thing found in the New Testament. Oh, and a perverted grace at that! In this we see the prophetic utterance of the Holy Ghost, of the perverting of the grace of God, through Jude manifesting before our very eyes.

Many of the vile snakes operating as pastors today in the modern church received their theological marketing degree from an evangelical, vatican-controlled seminary. These men are peddling a false grace and are fulfilling the prophecy of Jude 4. Our part to fulfill is Jude 3 – to “earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.” In other words to expose these “ungodly men” who teach the eternal security doctrine of devils!

Is it not also telling that no such divine attribute of “Grace, grace, grace” appears anywhere in Holy Scripture, and yet “Holy, holy, holy,” appears not once but twice (Isaiah 6:3; Revelation 4:8)?

Do you know anyone who calls themself a “grace teacher”? Do you know anyone who uses the term “sovereign grace”? Beware.

Easy grace sells. This is why it’s overemphasized by the marketers many call “pastors.”

YOU can plainly see when someone is refusing to be honest about their sin when they migrate to the grace, grace, grace, “sovereign grace” delusionment. Simultaneously they evade truth, holiness, judgment to come, hell, the gospel necessity of the crucified life – the daily cross, etc.. BEWARE of devils like this (Jude 3-4). ETERNAL SECURITY / OSAS is a diabolical myth espoused by Christ-denying, cross-denying counterfeits.

WHEN you hear the term “sovereign grace,” it’s coming from a Calvinist, reformed heretic.

Those who cry “grace, grace, grace,” “sovereign grace,” “once saved always saved,” and “eternal security” are frauds – the very “ungodly men” the Holy Ghost warned us about in Jude 3-4. Hint: These delusional, diabolical wolves NEVER even mention, don’t even know, and intentionally evade GRACE Scriptures such as Titus 2:11-12. And they do so because they want nothing to do with personal responsibility in the crucified life – without which no man can live in an abiding, Heaven-ready relationship with Christ! Read John 15:1-6.

Hell is full of OSAS counterfeits! Caught red-handed are agents of the father of all twists, half-truths, and lying deceptions! Discerning Satan’s agents.

The Necessity of Continuing in the Grace of God to the End of our Lives on this Earth

“Grace” theology that excludes divinely inspired truth such as that found in Titus 2:11-12 is purposely withheld by “ungodly men” in order to pervert saving grace (Jude 3-4). 99% of today’s modern so-called, self-proclaimed “grace” teachers never mention Titus 2:11-12 and it’s by design. These are the very “ungodly men” who’ve turned God’s grace into a license to sin – without the consequence of losing salvation (Jude 3-4).

YOU’D better find out for yourself all that God’s Word says about grace….. Jude 3-4 tells us there are many “ungodly men” today perverting the original Gospel message of grace which never justifies sin but rather grants the divine ability to overcome all sin (Romans 6:1-2; Titus 2:11-14).

IT would be impossible for a preacher to be taking up the cross himself and not be preaching the cross, the crucified life. What’s that say for America’s preachers? (Philippians 3:18-19)

Reader, any observation on the vast number of times holiness appears as contrasted with grace? The point this illustrates is that grace-perverting wolves over-emphasize and pervert grace while ignoring the holiness of God which is much more prevalent in the Bible. In Jude 3-4 we are mandated specifically to “earnestly contend” against these Christ-denying, cross-less, grace-perverting wolves.

“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, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.” Jude 3-4

In fulfillment of this profound prophecy (above), today we see so many so-called, self-proclaimed “grace teachers” who are the very “ungodly men” we are warned of and told to “earnestly contend” against.

Have you ever noticed that there are no people calling themselves “holiness teachers”? Is that not telling? Such a declaration would certainly mean very low numbers and not much popularity among sinful men, right? Right! Holiness preaching doesn’t tickle ears and garner nickels, noses, and numbers (2 Timothy 4:2-4).

Today, we often hear a lot about the biblical doctrines of grace, faith, and mercy and yet seldom hear of the biblical doctrines of the cross of Christ, the crucified life God calls us to, repentance, abiding in Christ, enduring to the end to be saved, bringing forth good fruit, holiness, and being ready for Christ’s return.

Today we have many Calvinist devils who use the term “sovereign grace” but never “sovereign holiness.” Isn’t that interesting now that we’ve done the simple math and now know that “holy/holiness” nearly quadruples the number of times “grace” appears in the Bible? Do you think there could be an agenda? Duhhhhhh

You KNOW when you are listening to a wolf when he never speaks of holiness, fearing God, and obeying God, but rather always only speaks of grace, mercy, love, etc. RUN!

Divine grace is the means to holiness (via the cross, the daily crucified life) and never the excuse for sin!

Also, these vile, self-proclaimed “grace teachers” NEVER teach what God’s Word teaches about grace in Titus 2:11-12. Watch this and you will see why they intentionally negate this passage:

“For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, 12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;” Titus 2:11-12

Those truly saved by grace aren’t sitting around in the “eternal security” club like a bunch of moral cowards rejoicing that they are “saved no matter what.” No, they are learning – being taught by true divine saving grace – to be “denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;”

Here are Bible verses you will never hear these devils mention, much less desire to be honest with and expound upon:

“Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:” Hebrews 12:14

“But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; 16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.” 1 Peter 1:15-16

There are a myriad of severe warnings that the lame “grace teachers” of today will never mention. Here are two more Bible passages the false grace teachers purposely avoid:

“Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from ALL filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.” 2 Corinthians 7:1

What kind of church is Jesus coming back for?

“Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26 THAT he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.” Ephesians 5:25-27

The reason counterfeits intentionally avoid such biblical truth: Such biblical truth would interrupt their perpetration of a false grace. These wolves are running a scam that is ensnaring millions who refuse to truly repent and study the whole of God’s Word for themselves. They simply do not love the LORD and therefore His truth, and consequently will be “damned” eternally (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12).

If you’ve been deceived, it’s only because you have refused to study God’s Word for yourself – as He commanded you to do (2 Timothy 2:15). Now repent, shut off the false teachers, and get into God’s Word!

Biblically speaking, we will only be permanently secure when we are with Him in glory. For now, if you’ve been truly born again, you must “endure to the end to be saved” (Matthew 10:22; 24:13).

They Myth of Eternal Security | Did Jesus and His Apostles Teach Eternal Security? Take a Look

The term sovereign grace never appears in Scripture and is the invention of the Calvinist devils the Holy Spirit warns us about in Jude 3-4. Calvinism is Heresy
Satan will give people a million pounds of truth to kill them with that one ounce of poison.

But Calvinism has ample amounts of poison and no one who holds Scripture as final authority could possibly buy into it. “A little leaven leaveneth (ruins) the whole lump” (Galatians 5:9). Here is a library of posts exposing the roots and false doctrines of Calvinism. Calvinism

The Truth about Holiness [podcast]

“Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?” Exodus 15:11 As we just read, divine “holiness” is “glorious.” Holiness is not what most of us think it is. Holiness in the divine economy is something of great “beauty” and utterly refreshing (Psalms 96:9). It seems that holiness is not merely a divine attribute but rather the divine nature of the Almighty. Are we ready to allow our LORD, who alone is “Holy, holy, holy,” to define what holiness truly is and how He brings it […]

Can You Forfeit Salvation by Living in Sin? [podcast]

Those who foolishly espouse the myth of eternal security/once saved always saved, do so because they worship self, not the Savior. Their heretical theology is built around what caters to them, to their sin, and not Christ who is “Holy, holy, holy.” (Isaiah 6:3; Revelation 4:8; 1 Peter 1:18-19, etc.). They’ve made a god in their own evil image and are idolaters. Do you realize that the the apostle Paul named 5 specific sins that kept God’s people out of their promise land (which equates to Heaven) Can You Forfeit Salvation by Living in Sin? (1 Corinthians 10:1-13) “What shall we […]

GOD’S GRACE “IN THIS PRESENT WORLD” TITUS 2:12 [podcast]

Excerpt from the book Lie of the Ages LOTS OF FRAUDS WHO CLAIM TO BE SAVED BY GRACE YET DEFEND INSTEAD OF ADMITTING, REPENTING, CALLING OUT AND CONFESSING SIN. “Grace” that isn’t leading you to live godly in this present world, denying ungodliness instead of living in it, is NOT saving grace. You are lost if this is the phony “grace” you have. “For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world.” Titus 2:11-12 YES God’s […]

Can a Believer be Cut Off After being Saved? [podcast]

Paul reminds us Gentiles believers of how God “cut off” His own people, the Jews, when they rebelled against Him, and that He will also “cut off” any of us who do not continue in His goodness and severity (Romans 11:20-22). Any person who rejects this truth is a grace-perverting, sin-justifying fraud who has made a fake god in their own image due to the refusal to truly repent. “Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: 21 For if God spared not the natural branches (Jews), take heed lest he also spare […]

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.

7 Sayings of Jesus on the Cross [podcast]

What Final Statements Did Jesus Make on the Cross and What Did They Mean? Our LORD Jesus Christ said 7 things while as He was offering His body and precious, sinless blood to buy us back to God. He was suffering for the sins of mankind and for no sin of His own (2 Corinthians 5:21; Hebrews 7:26; 1 Peter 3:18). He was shedding His blood to Re-deem (buy us back) and that’s what Jesus did for “the whole world” when He died on the cross, was buried, and raised again from the dead (1 Corinthians 15:1-4; 1 John 2:2).

LORD Please Prepare and Send Me! [podcast]

So you don’t do anything for anyone except yourself and yet you claim to be saved? Nah. Real repentance, will always, with no exception, bring for a new life, the life of Christ, full of fruit that bears witness to His lordship in that life (Matthew 3:7-10).

Of Isaiah’s repentance and preparation to be used of God, one writer notes:

“This phrase is a powerful, timeless prayer for spiritual readiness and a willing heart to serve. It echoes the beautiful biblical passage from Isaiah 6:8, where Isaiah responds to God’s call saying, “Here am I; send me.”

WHEN you ask God to use you, get ready, He’s going to do it. He’s going to prepare and launch you into His fields which are “white already to harvest” (John 4:34-38).

Sometimes I’ve been through seasons of testing, chastening, stripping, purging, etc., not remembering I had prayed for the LORD to prepare and send me. Then it would dawn on me and all began to make sense. God is able. Memorize 2 Timothy 2:21 KJB.

When the LORD appeared to him, the prophet Isaiah was shown his own depravity, his own wicked heart, his own unpreparedness. What was his response and how does this relate to us?

Are you ready this day to say “Jesus please prepare and use me mightily for Your eternal glory! I love You LORD. I am all Yours! Please do Your deeper work in this life You gave!”?

One must be prepared by God to be used by God.

“If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.” 2 Timothy 2:21

To the degree that we allow God to prepare us, to that degree shall He powerfully use us. The cross. The only way up is down beloved.

Is today your day to surrender afresh? John 3:30, Colossians 3:3 anyone?

Prepared by God to be Used of God (category)

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).

Have you ever pondered why there is little or no Scripture being used when listening to someone pretending to be speaking about the LORD? You should wonder (Matthew 7:16, 20; 1 John 4:1).

“Preach the word” is the divine mandate, command, and also “do the work of an evangelist” (2 Timothy 4:2,5).

Let us cease to pretend that we represent the LORD when everything we say isn’t coming straight out of His Word. Read that again please. He didn’t instruct us to entertain or to tell stories. He commanded us to preach HIS Word. King James Bible.

“If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles (written Word) of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.” 1 Peter 4:11

Think God is calling you to serve? Good. If He has saved you, He has called you (Ephesians 2:8-10; 4:7). Get lost in His Word every day (Jeremiah 15:16). Read it (Revelation 1:3). Study it (2 Timothy 2:15). Memorize it (Proverbs 4:4). Meditate upon it day and night (Joshua 1:8; Psalm 1). THAT’s your prep for ministry, not going to an antichrist seminary. Jesus inducted you into His school of the Holy Ghost and Word the moment He saved you.

Are you daily devouring God’s Word, OR are you backsliding?

“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

God Visits Isaiah

If we’re not talking about the holiness of the one true God—that He is “Holy, holy, holy” —what false god are we speaking of?

Isaiah 6

Isaiah’s Calling/Vision of the Lord

“1 In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.

2 Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.

3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.

4 And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.

5 Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts.

6 Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar:

7 And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.

Isaiah’s Commission from the Lord

8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.”

In Your process of preparing this vessel, when needed, please “Let the righteous smite me….” (Psalms 141:5).

HAVE YOU ever prayed this prayer? Do you want to be a man after God’s own heart like David? (Acts 13:22) If so, you must emulate the beloved David and pray this prayer!

“There is no better test of a man’s ultimate chivalry and integrity than how he behaves when he is wrong.” — G.K. Chesterton

IF you are not a DOER of God’s Word, it proves you are not saved, and are a lukewarm hell bound rebel. Repent now and bring forth fruit to prove it (Matthew 3:7-10; 7:21; Titus 1:16; 1 John 2:4; Revelation 2:26, etc.).

“But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.” James 1:22

May I be a doer of Your Word dear LORD. Let it be, in Jesus’ name.

“Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8 for every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.” Matthew 7:7-8 “He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.” John 14:21 “Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father […]

Prepared and Powerful [podcast]

“See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.” Jeremiah 1:10 God has a plan to remove that which does not belong in you and to establish what does. “to root out” (destructive) “to pull down” (destructive) “to destroy” (destructive) “to throw down” (destructive) “to build” (constructive) “to plant” (constructive) When Jesus cleansed the temple, after rooting out the evil, He then installed the purity, prayer, praise, and power (Matthew 21; John 2).

Fruitful Life. Fruitful Evangelism. [podcast]

The Life God Blesses to Bear Fruit for His Eternal Glory

A fruitful life for God’s glory involves first being genuinely born again, abiding in Christ via the crucified life, bearing spiritual fruit—such as Christlikeness in character, good works, and evangelism—by remaining in vital union with Jesus, the true vine (John 15).

“Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.” John 15:16

“There is a glow and a spiritual fragrance about the life of a person who is Spirit filled that is unlike anything found in natural man. The beauty of divine holiness ought to be radiated from all Christians. It is always seen in the lives of those who are truly controlled by the Spirit.” G. Christian Weiss, Insights into Bible Times and Customs

JUST as Jesus multiplied the little with the boy who gave the loaves and fishes, so He does with our efforts. Jesus multiplied that little and fed 5,000 men, and that doesn’t count the women and children present. Try Him.

“O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.” Psalms 34:8

“And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.” Matthew 25:40-46

God blesses the lives of His faithful saints. His faithful saints seek His face continually.

“Seek the Lord and his strength, seek his face continually.” 1 Chronicles 16:11

God prospers us according as we seek His face and stay upon Him. Of king Uzziah king of Judah, God’s Word says:

“As long as he sought the LORD, God made him to prosper.” 2 Chronicles 26:5

At times in this life there are season of uncertainty, where our vision may not be clear. We must “stay upon” the LORD.

“Who is among you that feareth the LORD, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of the LORD, and stay upon his God.” Isaiah 50:10

“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
12 Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.
13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
14 And I will be found of you, saith the LORD: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the LORD; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive.” Jeremiah 29:11-14

“But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.” 1 Corinthians 15:10

“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.” Ephesians 3:20

“And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work.” 2 Corinthians 9:8

We’ve never been so reminded of this as of the miraculous events of late where beloved brother Juan dropped some plastic water bottles that hit me in the feet. Only God could have orchestrated this collision of Juan’s life and mine.

“The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.” Psalms 37:23

Ask Him.

Recently brother Stacy Strother reminded me that God simply wants us, His people to be available, to pray and watch Him work!

“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. 19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. 20 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.” Mark 16:15-20

It has been wisely stated:

“Show me a man’s prayer life, his life of prayer or lack thereof, and I will show you who that man truly is and who and what he loves most.”

All who are zealous for the LORD are zealous about His work, to do it. Not build a church, but to see Christ work in the hearts of men—to strengthen and equip His body and convict and save lost souls to Himself.

One source notes:

“Evangelism is the act of sharing the Christian gospel—the ‘good news’ of Jesus Christ’s life, death, and resurrection—with the aim of inviting others into a relationship with God. It is considered a core mission for believers to spread this message of salvation, hope, and love, often stemming from Jesus’s command in the Great Commission.”

“The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.” Proverbs 11:30

YOUR PRAYER: Holy Father, in Jesus’ name, unite my heart to fear Thy name. Do your work in and through my life. I am all Yours. Maximize the fruit produced to Your eternal glory. You must increase but I must decrease. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Satan Hates Soul Winners With A Passion

Are You On His Hit List? “He that winneth souls is wise.” Proverbs 11:30 Do you desire to win souls? Are you willing to try a new, yet time-tested method to reach others for Christ while there is still time? This method that I am going to share with you is approximately 500 years old and could revolutionize your life today here on earth, and throughout eternity. It started when the LORD had the printing press come into existence so that His Word could be propagated to all the peoples of the earth. As a roman catholic monk with an […]

"Be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord" [podcast]

“Be Not Moved Away” “If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;” Colossians 1:23 The victory is in Jesus Christ, and we are “stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.” “But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 58 Therefore, my beloved […]

The Harvest is Coming for all those Sowing the Seed of the Word [podcast]

The Joy and Expectation of Seed Sowing What we sow, we can expect to reap (Galatians 6:7-8). As we continue to sow the good, the incorruptible seed of God’s Word into the hearts of men, good news will continue to flow, will continue to be reaped – because God’s Word prospers in the thing where He sends it! See also 1 Peter 1:23. “So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent […]

Bearing the Precious Seed of God's Word [podcast]

“They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. 6 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves (harvest) with him.” Psalms 126:5-6 A harvest of blessed souls is going to be the result, the ministry produce, the fruit of all who bear and distribute, scatter the seed of the incorruptible Word of God into the hearts of men (1 Peter 1:23). The LORD didn’t say “go explain who I am to other people.” No, He said “preach the word” and “preach the gospel” (2 Timothy 4:2; Mark 16:15). Our […]

The Seed of Salvation [podcast]

“So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” Isaiah 55:11 When we follow Jesus He makes us fishers of men: “And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men. 18 And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him.” (Mark 1:17-18) We must forsake the nets, the world’s ways in following Him. Prayer: Father, in the name of Jesus, please […]
