The bread of God must be ingested daily! Jesus instructed His disciples to pray for “DAILY bread.” (Matthew 6:9-12)

“Give us this day our DAILYYYYYY bread…”

Life Changer: This revelation will transform your life… look up and read each Bible verse with the word “daily” in the New Testament ….

WITH NO EXCEPTION, ALL who are Heaven-ready, seek the LORD daily, diligently.

Jesus is not your “first love” if you don’t spend time with Him daily (Revelation 2:4-5). If you argue this you are self-deceived and your rebellion only proves the point. Now simply repent, come to Jesus – before it’s too late!

Without a heart after God, all we have is a mere “form of godliness.” (Acts 13:22; 2 Timothy 3:5)

In the wilderness, which represents our brief time in this fleeting world, God dropped down manna from Heaven and instructed His people to go and gather it DAILY to eat (Exodus 16:15-19). Here we have the biblical instruction and principle of DAILY feeding on God’s Word. So, when Jesus instructs His disciples to pray “give us this day our DAILY bread,” this is what He had in mind (Matthew 6:9-12). … Are you feasting on God’s Word daily, in the morning when you wake, putting the LORD first and not yourself? Think: Unless you are still an infant, your momma isn’t going to come over and wake you up and spoon feed you. It’s time to mature, to take personal responsibility and study God’s Word for yourself. You are not walking with Jesus if you aren’t in His Word daily. Kid yourself no longer.

“When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.” 1 Corinthians 13:11

“The more of God’s Word you eat, the more you hunger for it.” J.

Those who are casual about the LORD are so because they are already “lukewarm.” (Revelation 3:15-16) If we can awake every morning and serve self, we can certainly choose today to displace, to dethrone self for the Savior – putting HIM first as our “first love.” (Revelation 2:4-5)

IF God really matters to you, His love and Word are your deepest desire!

SEEKING God is a life or death situation and seeking God involves devouring His bless-ed words daily:

“That whosoever would not seek the LORD God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman. … 15 And all Judah rejoiced at the oath: for they had sworn with all their heart, and sought him with their whole desire; and he was found of them: and the LORD gave them rest round about.” 2 Chronicles 15:13-15

“Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read: no one of these shall fail …” Isaiah 34:16

God’s Word will not get into you unless you get into it. Dig in!

“The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments (words) of the LORD are true and righteous altogether. 10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. 11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.” Psalms 19:9-11

The Bible: You can’t learn it unless you read it – for yourself.

DOES a stream of Holy Scripture pour from your life, your mouth, your communications about the LORD? (1 Peter 4:11)

Are you obeying the LORD’s instruction for you to personally seek and know Him via His Word?

“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15

The heart of the wise virgin believer is flooded with the light of God through daily diligent study of His Word (Psalms 119:130). What most don’t realize is that darkness immediately descends upon the heart left unattended – the heart not daily receiving the light of divine truth through diligent study of the Holy Scriptures (2 Timothy 2:15). The heart left without the bright shining light of God’s Word shining into it daily, WILL revert back to type – darkness, iniquity, “desperately wicked,” “only evil continually.” (Genesis 6:5, 12; Jeremiah 17:9, etc.).

Momentum in Christ – “The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be STRONGER AND STRONGER.” Job 17:9

Your prayers being answered are contingent upon your abiding in Christ, His words abiding in you:

“If ye abide (continue) in me, and my words abide (continue) in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.” John 15:7

IF you’re looking for a word, a dream, a vision or anything but God’s written Word, it’s because you aren’t known of God but rather a tare, a counterfeit! Repent and believe on the LORD Jesus Christ now before it’s too late.

IF you are not speaking God’s words verbatim, you are not speaking with divine authority! Memorize His Word! How shall you learn God’s Word if you don’t study it daily?

How long shall you be without Holy Scripture to quote verbatim? How long shall you not know WHY you believe WHAT you believe? (Proverbs 22:17-21; 1 Peter 3:15)

TODAY IS OUR DAY – YOUR DAY – TO CEASE MAKING EXCUSES FOR YOUR SIN – AND TO REPENT, TO RETURN TO JESUS AS “FIRST LOVE” – TO REPENT OF SELF-IDOLATRY. IF YOU ARE NOT IN HIS WORD DAILY, JESUS IS SIMPLY NOT THE FIRST PRIORITY, THE “FIRST LOVE” OF YOUR LIFE (LUKE 9:23-24; REVELATION 2:4-5). Who is Backslidden?

Jesus quoted Scripture, divine authority, verbatim when confronting the devil, right? (Luke 4)

IF you are not speaking God’s words verbatim, you are not speaking with divine authority! Memorize His Word!

“Bow down thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thine heart unto my knowledge. 18 For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee; they shall withal be fitted in thy lips. 19 That thy trust may be in the LORD, I have made known to thee this day, even to thee. 20 Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels and knowledge, 21 That I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth; that thou mightest answer the words of truth to them that send unto thee?” Proverbs 22:17-21

NOTHING replaces Bible reading.

There can be no Bible learning without Bible reading.

“Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.” Revelation 1:3

Reading a devotional or commentary is not the same as reading God’s Word. One cannot discern the devotional, the commentaries of mere men if he does not acutely personally know the definite article of the Words of God (2 Timothy 2:15). So very many in our day have handed their very eternal soul over to someone else instead of putting it in the hands of Jesus, the only Savior. We see this occur when we see people attending church gatherings and yet not seeking the LORD’s holy face for themselves in His Word.

You MUST eat, you must devour God’s Word daily or you will fall away! There are no do-overs! Follow Jesus. Obey Christ.

“I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.” Job 23:12

“As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:” 1 Peter 2:2

“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

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

Getting into God’s Word is going to change your life.

Diligently seeking the LORD “continually” and not casually is what Heaven bound wise virgin believers do, right?

“Keep and seek for all the commandments of the LORD your God.” 1 Chronicles 28:8

3 Essential Basics for Every Believer

1. Daily Bible study (Job 23:12; Jer 15:16; 1 Pet 2:2)
2. Daily life of prayer (1 Thess 5:17)
3. Daily fellowship with other true believers (Acts 2:42-47; Heb 3:13; 10:25)

Spiritual Life is Essential to Remaining in Christ

— SELF-IDOLATRY IS the root cause of the sin of not seeking Jesus’ face daily. ANY PERSON WHOM JESUS HAS SAVED AND YET DOES NOT SEEK HIS FACE IN PRAYER AND THE WORD DAILY, HAS ALREADY BACKSLIDDEN and is in utter, desperate need of true repentance. HELL is full of folk who refused to put GOD “FIRST.” (Matthew 6:33; Revelation 2:4-5) They put self first!

“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.” Hosea 4:6

In most cases among those who’ve been initially saved, we find a gross “lack of knowledge” and therefore lack of spiritual growth. One will never grow if you don’t read, read, read, and study God’s Word. Such a person will “fall away.” (Luke 8:13) Most depend on “going to church” instead of being the church – the people of God. When they do “go to a church service,” they are being entertained and courted to become a member of that “church” and not being spiritually nourished. Falling away, backsliding occurs when one is not devouring God’s words daily (1 Peter 2:2; 1 Timothy 4:6; John 6:63, etc.).

Conversely, those who devour God’s Word will grow in the strength of the LORD.

“A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength.” Proverbs 24:5

Many who initially believed on the LORD Jesus Christ did not continue seeking the LORD and therefore grossly lack the knowledge learned only in the Holy Scriptures (2 Timothy 3:15-17). We should never waste any one day not digging diligently in “the holy scriptures.” (2 Timothy 2:15; 3:15-17)

—Those who don’t study and know God’s Word will be “destroyed” and “ashamed.” (Hosea 4:6; 2 Timothy 2:15)

“Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err (be in ERRor), not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.” Matthew 22:29

How could God possibly trust and use the man who refuses to learn of Him by studying and knowing and obeying His Word? He simply can’t and will not. Here’s the principle in Jesus’ teaching:

“Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.” Matthew 25:21

MESSAGE RECEIVED:

“God can use a donkey and did. He can use anyone He chooses Brother in anyway He chooses whether Christian or not.”

REPLY:

That donkey didn’t have the ability to read and know His Word – but we DO and He holds us accountable to know it or we will be “ashamed” and “err” and “destroyed.” (2 Timothy 2:15; Matthew 22:29; Hosea 4:6). He may choose in isolated instances to use anyone He wishes and yet has spoken about, taught that the individual disciple of His must be faithful in the least to be used in much (Matthew 25:21). Ignorance due to laziness is a curse, not a blessing. “A man of knowledge increaseth strength.” (Proverbs 24:5) “A man of knowledge” has the necessity of studying to show himself approved unto God or he is not “a man of knowledge”, right? Please meditate upon the words of 2 Timothy 2:15. It’s clear that those who refuse to “study” God’s Word WILL be “ashamed” and not used of God in any powerful way, if at all. 1 Peter 3:15; 4:11 …. Notice that God instructs us to “be ready” which requires study and if we are going to be used of God, speak for God, we must “speak as of the ORACLES (written Word) of God” – which means we must study, learn, know, and speak His written revelation/Word.

God expects and commands men to be faithful to Him and those are the ones He rewards and uses…. “A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.” (Proverbs 28:20)

“IF IF IF ye CONTINUE in my word, THEN are ye my disciples indeed; 32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:31-32

IF you aren’t continuing in the Word it’s because you aren’t continuing, abiding in Christ (John 15:1-6). If you aren’t being made free HOW are you going to be used of God to see others made free? You simply aren’t.

YOU are going nowhere in God without deep, diligent, daily Bible study.

“Nourished Up”

Not only do we want to increase our knowledge of God and His Word, we also must daily be spiritually “nourished up,” fortified, strengthened and build up in His Word in order to have His strength and build a momentum! God’s Word is the nourishment for the hearts of those who are born again into Christ!

“If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.” 1 Timothy 4:6

Notice the verse above the “good doctrine” must be “attained” by diligent study and being “nourished up in the words of faith” daily.

Fellowship with other believers is connected to those who are in the Word (Colossians 3:16).

GOD has used you to do NOTHING if those you minister to aren’t seeking His holy face daily for themselves (Luke 9:23-24; 1 Corinthians 16:11; 1 Timothy 4:6, 16).

NOTICE in the following verse how there’s a connection between the people who “fear” God and those who hope in His Word:

“They that fear thee will be glad when they see me; because I have hoped in thy word.” Psalms 119:74

There’s a fellowship in God’s Word among those who fear Him. Every person who truly fears God seeks Him daily in His Word. All others who were once saved and yet are now backslidden, out of the Word, are as the 5 foolish virgins upon whom the Bridegroom (Christ) will soon shut the door upon, sealing their eternal doom (Matthew 25:1-13).

So let me get this straight…. you claim to know and love Jesus and yet don’t seek Him in His Word daily? Explain that biblically….. we all know you serve self daily, every day with no exception. Yet, you claim to know Jesus who says that if He is not your very “FIRST love” you are in need of repenting before it’s too late (Revelation 2:4-5).

The breath of God is in the Word of God (2 Timothy 3:16). There is a distinct, essential nourishing effect when feeding on the Word daily without which no one can abide in Christ and do the Word by God’s grace. “These words are spirit, and they are life.” (John 6:63)

How often did God tell the Israelites to pick up the bread He dropped from Heaven? Daily, for six days in a week.

“Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is the sabbath, in it there shall be none.” Exodus 16:26

Did Jesus say we must pray and ask the Father for “daily bread.”? Yes. “Give us this THIS DAY our DAILY bread.” (Matthew 6) Now it’s time to repent instead of making excuses and when we repent God will be first and not ourselves. Later in that same discourse, Jesus taught:

“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Matthew 6:33

Jesus is not the “first love” of anyone who casually thinks they are going to have relationship with Him, treating the Son of God like a second class citizen. The LORD made it clear that He is not available to the casual seeker (Matthew 6:6; Hebrews 11:6; 1 Chronicles 16:11; Jeremiah 29:11-14, etc.). He said knowing and walking with Him is “daily.” (Luke 9:23-24)

“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…” Jeremiah 29:11-14

GOD is not available to the casual seeker. It’s all on or it’s not at all!

We will choose to either follow Jesus the way He prescribed or we are not truly following Him. What Does it Mean to Follow Christ? [podcast]

“IFFFF thou seek him, he WILLL be found of thee.” 1 Chronicles 28:9

ANY person who has access to this post has access to the Bible, God’s Word. The person who is not nourishing his heart in the Word “daily” is a foolish virgin believer who was initially saved by Jesus and yet now is out of oil and will be shut out of Christ’s eternal kingdom (Matthew 25:1-13). | Eternal Security / OSAS is a lie.

Nourishment, strengthening is one of the effects of “daily” Bible reading, taking in the bread of the Word, without which no person can be sustained in an abiding relationship with Jesus (John 15:1-16).

One believer writes:

“We must hunger for the bread of life, we feed our body daily, so we must feed our spiritual body daily. We must thirst for the living water. We need water to live and drink daily. So we also drink from the well if life daily. It is sad when our brothers and sisters are not feeding on spiritual food. Yes, we need His word and prayer daily.”

IF you are not in God’s Word daily it’s because the LORD you claim to serve is a mere hobby to you, a second class citizen and not your “FIRST love.” (Revelation 2:4-5)

Backlidden IS hell bound! Eternity is forever! Repent now – before it’s too late!

Fresh Start with God

Does it not seem prideful to say we can walk with Jesus, without ingesting Jesus’ words daily? We ALL eat physical food daily to sustain our natural life, right? Dare we reject our LORD and Savior by saying we can do things our own way and without abiding in Him, seeking Him in His Word?

To think that some have balked at this truth is quite amazing. God forbid that someone would be rebuked by this word and hasten to Christ in repentance and begin a “daily” walk with Him, right? A person’s walk with Jesus is either “daily” or it is not at all.

“And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross DAILY, and follow me.” Luke 9:23

YOU are going to be so full of joy at what God does when you put Him first by consenting to laying down your life – the cross! You’re going to wonder what you waited so long for! We are coming home to our LORD saints – by doing things HIS way!

Counterfeits have purposely sought out lying devils who claim to be Christ’s ministers and thereby been coddled in their soul-damning sins. These tares HATE direct preaching of the light of truth. They manifest their darkness and devils at such light (John 3:19-21).

“Search THE SCRIPTURES …. THEY (the WORD) are they which testify of me.” John 5:39

“The washing of water by the word” is straight from Holy Scripture – A BIBLE verse frauds will never mention and yet this is the way Jesus is sanctifying His true body, making them ready to meet Him.

“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

You cannot possibly be being washed by the Word God if you are not in God’s Word.

Jesus’ apostle Paul instructed:

“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

If someone in ministry is not getting you in the Word for yourself, that person is misleading you.

It’s in the Bible but he won’t preach it because he’s got his own agenda (Matthew 7:15; 24:11; Acts 20:20-32; 1 John 4:1).

Red Flag: They will constantly invite you to give your money but NEVER invite you to repent and get into the Word!

God is a mere casual hobby to those not in His Word daily.

Beware of Satan’s Agents – Those not Getting YOU into the Word for Yourself!

It’s Satan himself, through his counterfeit ministers in our midst, who seeks to take away God’s Word.

“Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word.” Mark 4:15

To a person who was recently rebelling against this truth, I replied with the following:

You are seriously departed from the LORD and biblically illiterate. Look over this post at the myriad of Bible verses which prove this to be true. You are arguing to justify lukewarmness as one of the 5 foolish virgins of Matthew 25:1-13. You claim that the Word of God which Jesus told us to pray to receive DAILY – “Give us this DAY our DAILY bread” is not necessary to sustain a life with Christ. Wow. You have not truly repented if you do not diligently daily stay upon your God by seeking His holy face unrelentingly. You have not truly repented which Jesus says is essential for salvation (Luke 13:3, 5). You have not sought the Lord desperately and instead have followed the false gospel of modern wolves. Repent. God is calling you home today to Himself. It all begins with true repentance. So you can live for the god of self everyday but not Christ? Do you say ‘I’m not under the law’, smoke screening your rebellion, when it comes to serving the false god of self daily?

We’ve come so far in apostasy (departure from the truth) that we have fake “ministers” balking at the obvious biblical truth of being in God’s Word daily. Wow! (2 Corinthians 11:12-15; 1 Timothy 4:1-2, etc.)

If you are not laying down your life, taking up the cross and seeking the holy face of Jesus Christ in prayer and the Word daily, you have no business pretending to minister for Him. You are a fraud, a great deceiver, a counterfeit tare, a false prophet, a Judas. God is calling you to real repentance – before it’s too late.

“Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.” Psalms 55:17

Not only daily but 3 times daily David sought God and to think that a “minister” of Christ would balk at this is astounding. Wow! Now do we see why the modern church is so apostate? It’s being led by the wolves we are so often warned to “beware of.” (Matthew 7:15-20; 1 John 4:1; Jude 3, etc.).

If Jesus isn’t important enough for you to diligently seek every day, you are a counterfeit. HEEEE said “daily.” (Luke 9:23) Repent.

“I can’t imagine not starting my day in the Word of God!” Nellie Richard

We can’t be sustained in Christ without Christ, without seeking and being filled with His divine virtue daily via His Word (Matthew 5:6).

The only way to keep the darkness out of our hearts is to flood our hearts with God’s Word, daily. – “The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.” (Psalms 119:130) And, the only way God’s words can gain entrance, flood into our hearts daily, is when we diligently seek Him in His Word. The darkness of our hearts is eradicated by the entrance of the divine flood light of God’s words.

We need to heed the warnings of Scripture. Jesus said we are to pray “Give us this DAYYYYY our DAILY bread”…. and without daily bread, divine nourishment, one will be weakened, malnourished, and backslidden.

“Let thine heart retain my words.” Proverbs 4:4

Those who know and truly delight in Jesus, love and seek Him in His Word. Speaking of the true disciple of Christ, God’s Word says:

“But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.” Psalms 1:2

Charles Pray writes:

“Obedience is better than Sacrifice. JESUS Sacrificed it ALL there is no more sacrifice to be made! It’s only obedience that will please the Lord now! He tells us to honor our mothers and fathers so that we might live long, but then he also tells us that he who doesn’t hate his mother father sister or brother isn’t fit for the kingdom of God! We must always Love God first and put Him first in everything in our lives.”

It is utterly amazing to witness just how many pastors who do not know nor live by God’s Word (Hosea 4:6; Amos 8:11). As foretold, biblical famine has been perpetrated by a cross-less, perverse priesthood of seminarian wolves.

“Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD: 12 And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it. 13 In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst. 14 They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy god, O Dan, liveth; and, The manner of Beersheba liveth; even they shall fall, and never rise up again.” Amos 8:11-14

IS God’s Word more important to you than your “necessary food”? – “I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.” (Job 23:12)

If you awoke this morning and didn’t seek God in His Word and prayer, you put self before the Savior.

“We’ve got to warn those who REFUSE to read and STUDY the WORD of GOD for themselves.” Ivan Robinson

The lame pansies many call “pastors” today will never preach biblical truth that brings conviction, nor will you ever sense the need to read, read, read, devour, devour, devour, study, study, study God’s Word from listening to them. They are the devil’s agents to put your on ice! RUNNNNNN!!!!!

The LORD requires that you acquiesce… HE gave man free will. “Choose you this day whom you will serve” (Josh 24:15) “Daily” is the very word Jesus often uses to qualify how we are to love and serve Him.

This legalistic? Obedience to Jesus is not works salvation or legalistic. Jesus says it’s necessary and a product of truly loving Him. Is HE truly your “first love”? (Revelation 2:4-5) What about Matthew 22:37-39 and John 14:15 and 1 John 2:3-5? Care to look those up?

“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

When, if we truly love Jesus, seeking His face daily is a great joy!

“Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.” Matthew 22:37-39

James tells us that man who leaves the mirror of the Word forgets what manner of man (sinner) he is.

“For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass (mirror): 24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.” James 1:23-24

Then concerning being truly “blessed,” James gives us the divine conditions when he writes:

“But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty (Gospel, Word of God), and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. ” James 1:25

If a person has time, energy, and the wherewithal to do all the others things in life and not seek God, seems to me Jesus is not their “first love” and therefore they are in need of repentance which will always produce a life of seeking the face of the LORD relentlessly (Revelation 2:4-5).

“Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. 5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.” Revelation 2:4-5

When Jesus says “First” He means means first – first and foremost supreme priority.

One of the two is reigning – Christ or the flesh, right?

“This book of the law (the Bible, Word of God) shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.” Joshua 1:8

In Israel, the LORD instructed those in places of authority to hand-record His Word.

“And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law (Word) in a book out of that which is before the priests the Levites: 19 And it shall be with him, and he shall read therein all the days of his life: that he may learn to fear the Lord his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them:” Deuteronomy 17:18-19

Fallen Away, Backslidden Equals Lost!

Every honest Bible student, those not following the OSAS/eternal security heresy, knows this to be truth. Backsliding absolutely equals unsaved. Satan’s children are always attempting to fudge, to justify sin instead of owning up to the divine command to die the death – to be truly crucified with Christ or perish (Mark 9:43-49; Romans 6:1-2; 2 Corinthians 7:1; Titus 2:11-12; 2 Peter 2:20-21; Jude 3-4, etc.). Read Jesus parables of the 10 virgins and how the 5 lukewarm backsliders were shut out of the eternal kingdom (Matthew 25:1-13). Read where Jesus is going to spue, vomit, reject all who are lukewarm (Revelation 3:15-16)….. on and on and on…. Heb 3:6, 12-14; 10:26-39, etc. Proof One is Backslidden

Guy Satariano writes:

“Yes we need the bread of God daily to overcome the flesh…. so meditate on that. How could someone not seeking God daily possibly overcome the flesh and being in glory with the One who told us He will soon return for a church, a people, ‘a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish'”???

Jesus prayed to the Father that His people would be sanctified through His Word:

“Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.” John 17:17

When God’s words are being ingested by the true disciple, divine discernment will take it’s place. WOULD so many be deceived by the “MANY false prophets” we were warned about if they studied God’s Word diligently for themselves? No! (Matthew 24:11; Hosea 4:6: 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12; 2 Timothy 2:15).

Yes, just as Jesus prophesied, the love of many is waxing cold right before out eyes – “And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.” (Matthew 24:10-13)

Those who do not choose to love God’s Word, are sent by God Himself a “strong delusion” (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12).

YOUR PRAYER: Holy Father in Heaven, I come to You now in the name of Jesus Christ. Father, please forgive me for not truly repenting, and laying down my life in this fleeting world. Please forgive me for not putting You first priority in this life You gave. I am fully accountable to You and personally responsible to follow You on Your terms Jesus, not mine. Right this moment, if never before, I admit I’ve sinned against You in the sin of idolatry and ask You to please forgive and cleanse me LORD. Refresh my spirit and grant a great desire for Your words – to daily devour them as You keep me in an abiding fellowship with Yourself. I love You Jesus! In Jesus’ name, amen.

The Danger of Joining a Modern Church [podcast]

Fruit. Fruit. Fruit.

“Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.” Matthew 12:33

Speaking of the pattern of one’s life, Jesus taught that a good tree cannot bear bad fruit. A bad tree cannot bear good fruit.

“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16 Ye shall know (discern) them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.” Matthew 7:15-20

Jesus commanded His people to “know” which is to discern all “by their fruits”—to be fruit inspectors—first in their own lives and then in all others (1 Corinthians 11:31-32; 2 Corinthians 13:5).

Personally, I fail to find anywhere that Jesus or His apostles instructed any saints to “go find a local church and plug in.” Hebrews 10:25 is peddled by pastors today who seek a loyal following instead of seeking to fulfill their God-given duties to establish their hearers in the faith, to ground them in God’s Word, to equip them for the work of the ministry, etc.

“Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.” Hebrews 10:25

Read that again please. Does it say to find a church? No. Those who are born again ARE already God’s “church” which simply means His called out people. More biblically, should we not simply be His church—His people, daily? This seems to be the pattern we see among the earliest followers of Jesus (Acts 2:42-47; 5:42; Colossians 3:16, etc.).

The authentic remnant elect of Christ do not patronize or bid Godspeed to false leaders (2 John 9-11; Revelation 2:2).

Refusing to sit under, condone, bid Godspeed to the false gospel, false doctrines, false teachers and wolves of the modern church … is not forsaking the assembly! Instead, it’s obedience to God who mandates that we “mark them,” that we “earnestly contend” against them, and warns us that anyone who bids Godspeed to them will be punished with them (Romans 16:17-18; Jude 3; 2 John 10-11).

If you are prone to cite Hebrews 10:25 to advocate for going to church weekly, consider where you learned that. In churches, right? Funny you probably don’t even have 10 Bible verses memorized and yet, to the benefit of the pastor, you know that one. What does this tell us? What does this reveal? What’s wrong with this picture?

What happens when people get loyal to a local church especially in this late hour where great apostasy was foretold? Here are a few obvious things that happen when someone “joins a church.”

Most people who join churches today are not even born again, are not told they must repent and believe on Jesus to be born again. They become proud of their pastor and friends at that gathering (Zechariah 11:17).
Church members are not learning the Word of God itself because they are simply being led by a wolf who is fostering their allegiance toward himself, not Christ (Colossians 2:8-10, 18-19; 3:1-4).
They are not becoming soul winners (Proverbs 11:30; Luke 19:10).
Attenders of modern churches are seldom if ever taught, established with personal knowledge of the Scriptures, the paramount truth that God’s Word itself is the final divine authority on all matters of the Christian faith and the practice of it (Deuteronomy 4:10; Psalms 119; 138:2; Isaiah 40:8; Mark 13:31; John 10:35; Romans 3:4; 2 Timothy 3:15-17; 2 Peter 1:19-21).
The Bible message, warning to “love not the world” is seldom or never heard. Those who live worldly are separated from God (James 4:4; 1 John 2:15-17).
Fake pastor do not teach people to get into God’s Word for themselves and so church attenders today are not in the Word daily for themselves which is by satanic design and therefore have no biblical foundation (Psalms 11:3; Matthew 7:19-29; 2 Timothy 2:15).
When do we hear in modern churches that Jesus Christ is the Grand Subject of all of Holy Scripture? We don’t (Psalms 40:7-8; Luke 24:25-27, 44-46; John 5:39-40; 2 Peter 1:19-21).
They are never taught the value God places upon good works in those He saves by His grace (Ephesians 2:8-10; Titus 1:16; 3:8; 1 John 2:4).
The Great Commission Jesus gave to His people is never mentioned and when it is, they’ve turned it into just another way of promoting themselves, their own brand, ministry (Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15-20; Luke 24:47; Book of Acts).
They are not being equipped “for the work of the ministry” which is the duty being carried out by every authentic overseer of Christ’s church (Ephesians 4:11-12; 1 Peter 5:1-6).
Never taught in the modern churches is the fact that God holds each person He saves personally responsible, personally accountable for following Jesus daily (Deuteronomy 24:16; Joshua 24:14-15; Luke 21:34-36; 2 Timothy 2:15; Hebrews 3:6, 12-14; 10:26-39; 12:14; Revelation 2-3, etc.).
Modern day church members are not in the Word for themselves and the pastors have led them to this biblical illiteracy because they are building a church busine$$ and dumb people are easy prey/targets to rob (Isaiah 9:16; 56:8-12; Jeremiah 23; Ezekiel 34; Matthew 23; 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12; 2 Timothy 4:2-4, etc.).
Church goers are barely or never heard the essential cross message which Jesus requires to follow Him (Matthew 16:24-25; Luke 9:23-24; Romans 6; 2 Corinthians 4:10-12; Galatians 2:20; 5:24; Colossians 3:3, etc.).
They are never warned of going to hell if they die in sin (Ezekiel 33:12-13; Matthew 10:22; 24:13; Hebrews 3:6; 10:26-39; Revelation 21:8, 27).
They are never taught that God is “Holy, holy, holy” and that He requires that those who are His be holy as He is holy (Isaiah 6:3; 1 Peter 1:15-16; Revelation 4:8).
Those who attend a church are never informed that only those who overcome sin and Satan will be with Jesus eternally which is exactly what Christ told each and every one of the seven churches of Asia minor (Revelation 2-3).
They are never taught that saving grace without exception results in the saved living according to the Scripture: “Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; (Titus 2:11-12).
Members are taught the demonic lie of eternal security/once saved always saved , which is Satan’s first teaching and irrefutably led to the fall of mankind in the Garden (Genesis 2:17; 3:4).
The mountains of warnings in Scripture are intentionally hidden from the congregational dupes who are willingly biblically ignorant, having rejected the knowledge/Word of God (Ezekiel 3:7; Hosea 4:6; 2 Corinthians 5:11; Colossians 1:28; Jude 3-4, etc.).
Most church members are not taught that only those who remain in Christ after being saved will be with Him eternally (Matthew 25:1-13; John 15:6; Romans 11:20-22, etc.).
Modern church attenders are seldom if ever warned to come out from this sinful world in the way they live (2 Corinthians 6:14-7:1).
They are lukewarm which means hell bound if they don’t repent (Luke 3:15-16).
The original Gospel essential, the command to “repent” is never heard, even though it was the very first word spoken by John the Baptist, Jesus, and the apostle Peter in their ministries (Matthew 3:2; 4:17; Acts 2:38; 3:19; 17:30).
Modern church members are merely a participant of a “Christian” social club seen nowhere in Scripture (Cp. Acts 2:42-47).
Their loyalty and allegiance is toward the pastor, singing group, and fellow congregants (Proverbs 21:16).
They are never taken through the volumes of Holy Scripture where God judged His very own people who backslid (Numbers 16; 25; Romans 11:20-22; 1 Corinthians 10:1-12; Hebrews 3-4; Jude 1).
Church members are taught to become dependent on their church affiliation, connection, and attendance and not the LORD (Matthew 15:8).
They are not daily seeking the face of the LORD (1 Chronicles 16:11; Psalms 27:4, 8; 57:7; 63:8; Matthew 6:33; Luke 9:23-24).
Seminarian led church members are seldom if ever taught that for eternal glory with Him Jesus requires the decisive cutting off of the hand and plucking out of the eye of any sin that defiles them in the eyes of a holy God (Mark 9:43-49).
When the Bible is literally read, 99% of the time it’s from a vatican corrupted fake “bible.”
Most are barely if at all different from any lost soul around them in their daily life (2 Corinthians 6:14-18).
Due to their own refusal to truly repent and walk with Jesus daily, they were sent strong delusion, are in darkness and deception, and therefore “remain in the congregation of the dead” (Proverbs 21:16).

“God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him.” Psalms 89:7

The words “leader” and “leaders” appear 6 times (total) in God’s Word. It is always to be in context of servant leading (Matthew 20:20-28; 23:8-12; 1 Peter 5:1-6). In the following and most popular times “leaders” is used, it’s in the negative, as in false “leaders.”

“For the LEADERS of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.” Isaiah 9:16

“Let them alone: they be blind LEADERS of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.” Matthew 15:14

They love their darkness rather than the light of His truth and therefore craft, they erect the image of a false god in their wicked unrepentant hearts.

“Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10 and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12

“Jeremiah 7. The people were wicked and evil, placing their trust in the temple, instead of God, and believing their religious activities would be pleasing to the Lord. But they were committing all kinds of sins, deluding themselves into thinking that they were secure. God said, I will cast you out of my sight! And instructed Jeremiah not to pray for them. They refused to obey the Lord God nor receive correction, and the truth had perished, so God said, I will cut them off from my mouth! Wow! Isn’t this exactly what we are seeing in this late hour? There comes a time when the Lord has had enough and cuts them off! And judgment falls upon those who don’t want the truth.” Karen Cochran

Is Church Membership Biblical? [podcast]

Churchianity vs Christianity Many use the term “very involved in church” instead of deeply rooted and in love with Jesus Christ. See the difference? Beware. Christ Jesus is your identity. “But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.” Galatians 6:14 What is your identity? Why have you chosen such to be that which you identity with? Most pastors make a big deal out of belonging to some organization, church, or group—because this puts them in charge—instead of Jesus. Beware. […]

Jesus Conquered Sin, Satan, and Death by Dying [podcast]

“Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.” Hebrews 2:14-15

Through death Jesus conquered sin, death, and Satan and made His people free, washing away their sins in His precious blood and putting His Holy Spirit in them, empowering them to live fruit-filled victorious lives to His eternal glory!

Christ’s resurrection guarantees our resurrection – both now and for eternnity. Those raised up with Christ now are those who are crucified with Him. This is His holy “remnant.” (Isaiah 37:31; Romans 8:11; 1 Corinthians 15, etc.).

Jesus conquered sin and death (separation) by dying on His cross. Because of this, we need never live outside of an abiding relationship with Christ. His grace is sufficient to provide everything He died to purchase for us – and all these blessings are appropriated via our faith, our abiding in Him (John 15; Romans 6:14; 2 Corinthians 12:9-10; Hebrews 4:14-16; 7:24-26, etc.).

In order to be raised up, to walk in His resurrection power and grace, we must first be dead and buried with Christ.

“For he that is dead is freed from sin.” Romans 6:7

***ALL Heaven’s going to break out when this hits you in the heart, when your heart perceives this cross economy divine revelation.

Finishing Strong mean Finishing Crucified and Resurrected

HOW will you finish? It’s really how you finish that matters most! (2 Timothy 4:7-8) Finish strong beloved – lay down your life, death and burial, so that the strength of your life is Christ’s resurrection grace! (See 2 Corinthians 12:9-10) Go down deep.

“And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward:” Isaiah 37:31

Read the verse above again, looking for the death, the burial, and raising up!

The context Isaiah 37:31 concerns Assyria seeking to seize Judah and yet out of that evil attempt to conquer God’s people came a “remnant.” Yet it’s those who submitted to the LORD in death, those who took root downward (death and burial) who were reciprocally raised up out of that snare and destruction. Resurrection grace wins every time, with no exception! The cross is the divine prescription for absolute victory in every situation.

God counteracts death by the promise of resurrection – now and in eternity! (1 Corinthians 15; 2 Corinthians 4:10-12).

“Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 11 For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. 12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you.” 2 Corinthians 4:10-12

The depth you allow God to bury you determines the height of His resurrection, His raising up in your life! (See 2 Corinthians 4:10-12)

“Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; 2 That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.” 1 Peter 4:1-2

“And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. 6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.” 1 John 3:5-6

“What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.” 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

Learning the Cross, the Crucified Life Where Jesus Reigns

The Myth of Elevation without the Cross [podcast]

THE CROSS: Know it. Live it. Preach it. God will never lift up those who stand in their pride but only those who bow before Him in humility (Psalms 145:14; James 4:6-10, etc.). Running to a “revival” is not the answer. The reason people run to a “revival” is due to their refusal to deny self, take up the cross daily, and thereby be re-vived (filled with life!) daily – experiencing the resurrection of Christ each day in their personal lives as God has ordained (Luke 9:23-24; 2 Corinthians 4:10-12). A cross-less life is a life of defeat. A life in […]

H.O.T. BIBLE STUDY [podcast]

They live for years with erroneous notions men told them. Instead of repenting and getting into the Word for themselves, many of them go to their graves having embraced soul-damning lies.

Knowing and adhering to Holy Scripture is your protection (Proverbs 30:5-6). “Every word of God is pure: he is a shield (protection) unto them that put their trust in him. 6 Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.” Proverbs 30:5-6 RECENTLY: In a very engaging fellowship […]

7 Ways to Forgive [podcast]

PRAY

“But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;” Matthew 5:44

LOVE AND DO GOOD TO THE OFFENDER

“Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.” Romans 12:9

REFUSE TO SPEAK EVIL OF THE OFFENDER

“Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.” Romans 12:14

RELEASE THEM FROM YOUR PUNISHMENT

“Recompense (repay) to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. 18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. 19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.” Romans 12:17-19

DON’T CELEBRATE THEIR FAILURES

“Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth: 18 Lest the LORD see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.” Proverbs 24:17-18

TREAT THEM THE WAY YOU WANT TO BE TREATED

“And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.” Luke 6:31

STOP DWELLING ON THE PAST

“Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.” Isaiah 43:18

The blessedness of being merciful to others:

“Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.” Matthew 5:7

The only way to prevent holding a grudge, is to simply forgive them – as God freely forgave you through the infinite price Christ paid for your sins on the cross, of which you don’t deserve (Psalms 103:10).

“Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. 8 Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. 9 Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door.” James 5:7-9

“And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. 31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: 32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.” Ephesians 4:30-32

Being kind and forgiving towards others becomes simple as we look in the mirror and declare with Paul the apostle: “For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing.” (Romans 7:18)

“He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.” Psalms 103:10

Forgiveness becomes easy when we look in the mirror to see the person (us, me) who needs God’s mercy more than any other person alive on the earth! Memorize Ephesians 4:32 now. KJB

“For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.” James 1:20

“Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; 13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. 14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.” Colossians 3:12-14

Forgiveness Quotes

“There is no love without forgiveness, and there is no forgiveness without love.” Bryant McGill

“Love is an act of endless forgiveness. Forgiveness is me giving up my right to hurt you for hurting me. Forgiveness is the final act of love.” Reinhold Niebuhr

“Holding a grudge doesn’t make you strong; it makes you bitter. Forgiving doesn’t make you weak; it sets you free.” unknown
