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.

JESUS IS COMING AND THE TRUE BODY OF CHRIST IS “HOLDING FORTH (BOLDLY DECLARING) THE WORD OF LIFE” “Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.” Philippians 2:16 WHEN you speak God’s Word, you are speaking divine authority. “These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.” Titus 2:15 “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, […]

Dwelling in the Secret Place of the Most High [podcast]

“He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.” Psalms 91:1

Of the Bible phrase “secret place of the most High”, one source notes:

“‘The secret place of the Most High’: is a spiritual state of intimacy, trust, and absolute protection in God, referenced in Psalm 91:1. It is not a physical location, but rather a hidden sanctuary found in the heart of God, accessed through prayer and a surrendered life.”

“And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.” John 17:3

Prayer communion is inseparably connected with knowing God (John 17:3).

Knowing the Father and the Son is the whole purpose for which He made you.

“That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. 4 And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.” 1 John 1:3-4

Beloved of God, you have a relationship with your Maker, not religion.

To know Him, we must seek Him. He promises us that as we seek Him, He will be found of us!

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

He promises to manifest Himself exclusively to those who “diligently seek him.” (1 Chronicles 16:11; John 14:21-23, etc.)

God is not hiding and yet He is not available to the casual seeker. Only those who “diligently seek him” will be known as His, will experience in real relationship with the LORD.

“But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.” Matthew 6:33

“A sinning man stops praying. A praying man stops sinning.” – Leonard Ravenhill

“And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.” Mark 1:35

Anyone not praying is not seeking God and has already fallen away (Luke 12:40).

“A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary.” Jeremiah 17:12

The LORD’s people are known as His “house” and He calls them His “house of prayer.”

“And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.” Matthew 21:13

Those who truly love and worship the LORD perpetually seek His holy face and that’s called prayer.

“Pray without ceasing.” 1 Thessalonians 5:17

“Seek his face continually”

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

Spending quality moments with God is your best time spent (Matthew 6:6).

“The preaching of the Word of the Lord fails to run and be glorified from many causes. The difficulty may lie with the preacher himself, should his outward conduct be out of harmony with the rule of the Scriptures and his own profession. The word lived must be in accord with the word delivered; the life must be in harmony with the sermon. The preacher’s spirit and behavior out of the pulpit must run parallel with the Word of the LORD spoken in the pulpit. Otherwise a man is an obstacle in the success of his own message.” E.M. Bounds, E.M. Bounds On Prayer, p. 421

“A sinning man stops praying. A praying man stops sinning.” – Leonard Ravenhill

“The men who have done mighty things for God have always been mighty in prayer, have well understood the possibilities of prayer, and made the most of these possibilities. The Son of God, the first of all and the mightiest of all, has shown us the all-potent and far reaching possibilities of prayer. Paul was mighty for because he knew, how to use, and how to get others to use, the mighty spiritual forces of prayer.” EM Bounds, The Complete Works of E.M. Bounds on Prayer, P. 341

“It has been said that no great work in literature or in science was ever wrought by a man who did not love solitude. We may lay it down as an elemental principle of religion, that no large growth in holiness was ever gained by one who did not take time to be often long alone with God.” Austin Phelps

“Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” Matthew 26:41

Can anyone possibly NOT enter into temptation who is not living a life of prayer? Not possible. If you are not living a life of prayer, praying “without ceasing,” you ARE living in sin. Wonder no more. Fresh repentance before God needed (Hosea 10:12; 14:1-2; 1 Thessalonians 5:17; Hebrews 4:14-16).

It’s the cross – where you die so Christ can be preferred, can reign in your personal daily life.

“Ye are dead and your life is hid with Christ in God.” Colossians 3:3

“Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” Matthew 26:41

PRAYER: Holy Father, I come to You now, in repentance, asking You to please forgive my self-idolatry, rebellion, pride, sinful unbelief, and prayerlessness. Please wash me clean in Thy blood dear LORD Jesus. Unite my heart to fear Thy name. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

The Sure Mercies of David [podcast]

What exactly does the Bible mean by the phrase “the sure mercies of David”? The divine guarantee in Christ is that God’s mercies are upon your life as they were upon the beloved David, from whose lineage came the promised Messiah. Biblical examples of Sinful People God Forgave: Adam and Eve (Genesis 3). David (2 Samuel 11-12; Psalms 51). The prodigal son (Luke 15). One of the two men who stood before the LORD to pray (Luke 18:9-14). Peter (Matthew 26:26-69, Luke 22:31-32; John 21:15-17). Thief on the cross (Luke 23:42-43). Woman taken in adultery (John 8).

“Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.” Job 13:15 Job had just lost all of his children and yet held fast his integrity toward the LORD.

First, foremost, and separate from all else, Job loved and worshipped the LORD with his whole heart. We must come to the place where our LORD alone […]

Are You Bless-able? English and Spanish [podcast]

Who is Going to be “Blessed”?

“A FAITHFUL MAN shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.” Proverbs 28:20

Like it or not, God has conditions to appropriate His blessings. Rebels hate this reality because they despise personal accountability, personal responsibility. Their rebellion changes nothing. Either repent, be saved, and walk humbly with Christ, or lose your soul for eternity in hell (Mark 8:34-38).

True followers of Jesus are doing the work of the Gospel, are diligent, are “not slothful,” and “inherit” “the promises” of God “through faith and patience.”

“For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. 11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end: 12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.” Hebrews 6:10-12

In the New Testament, we don’t ever see disciples of Christ spending all kinds of time singing praise songs, numbing themselves out, etc. No, when the Holy Spirit truly fills a believer, it’s to be a witness of Christ and that person is sent out.

Jesus dwells large only in those who practically obey Him and not those just trying to get an emotional fix by soaking in a building in a “revival.”

“And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” Joshua 24:15

Are We Bless-able?

“It is more blessed to give than to receive.” Acts 20:35

Have you given God your life?

“So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.” Luke 14:33

Getting Gospel Grounded [podcast]

Refusing to sit under the false gospel, false doctrines, false teachers, and wolves is not forsaking the assembling of the saints. It’s obedience to the LORD! See 2 Corinthians 6:17-18) There is a “difference” between the true and the false leaders today. True disciples will always warn and help God’s people distinguish the false teachers and “discern between the unclean and the clean”: “And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.” Ezekiel 44:23 False leaders are to be marked, to be scoped out and […]

The Golden Rule Life: What's that Really Mean? [podcast]

Thinking, Knowing, Applying, and Doing the Golden Rule of Jesus Golden Rule living is the only way to live in glorification of our Maker. Spread this word. God calls you, yes you – to love Him supremely and to love your neighbor as you wish to be loved, treated (Matthew 7:12; 22:37-40; Philippians 2:3-5). We must teach ourselves, our children and those around us the Golden Rule. “Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets” (Matthew 7:12). Jesus is coming. “Golden Rule, […]

“Cursed be the Man that Trusteth in Man” [podcast]

A Nuclear Revelation

“Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.” Jeremiah 17:5

“Cursed be the man that trusteth in man” is a powerful verse from the Bible, commonly associated with a specific warning against relying on human strength rather than God.”

So many act like Spurgeon or some other mere man’s writings are on the same level as Holy Scripture. NOT! They prove their idolatry. They are in sin. They glory in mere men and not the LORD! Hell awaits. Jeremiah 17:5; Isaiah 2:22; 1 Corinthians 1:29-31, etc.

God calls us to worship, love, seek, trust, and obey Him as the ultimate authority of our lives in this world.

Another example of this is the idolatry of the demonic fraud CS Lewis!

CS LEWIS EXPOSED

THIS JUST IN:

“Amen! Amen for Prov 10:22. All glory be to Him!

By the grace of God I discovered last night your website, praise Him, in search for exposure on CS Lewis.

By the grace of God I learnt as a baby believer, 20 years ago, that his teachings are dangerous including that witchcraft book and movie, Narnia. Sadly, so called mature Christians in the UK are considering him a saint, a born again believer.

I sent prayerfully (as I expected backlashes) to my friend last night, a few links exposing CS Lewis including the photo from your website which is brilliant exposure, praise Him but she is still claiming that he ‘was truly a born again’ ….. sending me his videos! It’s a principle: I don’t watch, read listen to CS Lewis and many others! The Bible is so rich in teachings, why do I need CS Lewis!?

My friend is a mature believer, born again believer for over 60-70 years and she cannot see it!

I had to use the VPN and duckduck search engine to get the website exposing CS Lewis, as in the UK, nothing will come up! Most of the Christians are bewitched by Narnia and Lord of the Rings! No wonder the country is in such a state of delusion! May the Lord have mercy!

Many blessings in His Name, V.”

CS LEWIS WAS A FRAUD – READ GOD’S WORD! REPENT AND GET IMPRESSED WITH THE LORD, BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE. IDOLATRY DAMNS!

“Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?” Isaiah 2:22

Those who look to men, who receive un-biblical counsel instead of testing it against the Word of God, are trusting in mere man and have brought a curse upon themselves (Jeremiah 17:5-6; Acts 17:10-11; 2 Timothy 3:16-17, etc.). Those who look anywhere except to the LORD Himself are idolaters, are committing spiritual adultery, and will without exception depart from Him and be lost (v. 5). Their names “shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters” (v. 13). The phrase “written in the earth” is in contrast to their names being “written in heaven” (Luke 10:20; Hebrews 12:23). Hell is in the bowels of the earth and that’s where every single person who is not looking wholly to the LORD will spend eternity (Revelation 20:11-15).

“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. 7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.” Proverbs 3:5-7

Trusting man is seen in the lives of many who claim to be saved and yet trust man’s medicine and counsel wholesale.

Let me get this straight, you pretend to be saved and yet run to some foolish sinner to get drugged for lack of peace or ability to sleep or depression. You are completely deceived and God is calling you to repent now. If you knew Him, would you not be trusting Him and not sinful mere men? “Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD (Jeremiah 17:5).

Modern Sorcery Exposed

You’ve tried the CURSE and it never worked…. Are you ready to let CHRIST make you whole?

Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD. 6 For he shall be like the heath in the desert (spiritually dry, desolate), and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited. 7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. 8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit. 9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? 10 I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings. 11 As the partridge sitteth on eggs, and hatcheth them not; so he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool. 12 A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary. 13 O LORD, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters. 14 Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.” Jeremiah 17:5-14

Psychology/psychobabble, therapy from mere men, sinners…. is a scam, and leaves the victim without hope. Jesus Christ is the only hope for man’s core dilemma—which is sin! ANY person pointing you to a “THE-RAPIST” is demon inspired. They speak against the Word of God and are the child of the devil! See Colossians 2:6-10. SINNERS need the Savior—not some sinner with an indoctrination in the fine of art of applying bandages, never getting to the root. Repent now (Jeremiah 17:9). Jesus alone can make a man whole! (Luke 4:18)

Man’s therapy and psychobabble are laughably insufficient and have never once gotten to the root issue of man’s dilemma which is sin. Jesus says that He “came into the world to save sinners” (1 Timothy 1:15).

Drugs and psychobabble are laughable mere band aids to rob unbelievers, gullible dupes of their money.

“Jesus Christ maketh thee whole”

Only One can make you whole—the One who made you and died and rose again for you.

“And Peter said unto him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.” Acts 9:34

“Yep that’s me, the woman with the Alabaster box. And that is all I need—my alabaster box and Jesus! No need for meds or to be psycho-analyzed by some quack. One touch from Jesus is all I need! Just as the woman who touched the hem of His garment and was immediately healed! Luke 8: 43-48. One touch is all she needed.” Karen Cochran

Upholding Jesus, the Only Head of His Body [podcast]

YOUR first thought when you hear “God” or “Christianity” should be JESUS! Not some church, pastor, or church program! The ministry continually receives emails from people who have latched on to some mere man, his personality – instead of worshipping Christ supremely (Colossians 2:18-19). And in doing so, they defend those mere men angrily, doggedly, having never stopped to put them to the biblical test. “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try (test) the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.” 1 John 4:1 “Not everything is at it seems.

Just one idol. ANYthing that is more important to you than Jesus Christ is an idol. You must repent and receive Christ or you will perish in the flames of eternal damnation (Luke 13:3; John 1:12).
