Get Mad if You Wish – I am Simply
Warning You Before it’s too Late!

“This is exactly one very important reason I left the last church I attended faithfully for almost one year.  I was on the verge of being homeless and the church knew about this. Not one single soul offered a place in many of their homes for my little girl and I. Much less helped us financially.  Of course they were more than willing to pray, but that was it. Now one sister who I was very close to was very close to the pastor’s wife.  She had money saved up in the thousands and was getting ready to purchase a cow for the pastor’s wife’s residence as they lived in big houses with lots of acreage like farms. She often came over bragging about how much money she had saved up and what to do with it. She never once offered to help me and my daughter.  By the grace of God He answered my prayers for housing and we were not homeless, BUT it was not from any Christian/s or this church that our prayers were answered.  It was through a secular, unsaved couple that I did not even know!!!  Needless to say I lost all hope and was so hurt by the people of that church and so left. To this day it still hurts and stings. But I can forgive.  I just don’t have a desire to be part of that church. I have seen God use the UNsaved to help christians and i believe this is because that is a true sign to the life of those professing God their hearts are hard and stingy that even an unbeliever’s heart is softer sometimes? What do you think?  I have seen more help in my life from UNbelievers than believers. It really is a sad thing when UNbelievers are the ones opening up their hearts and pocket books to the saints and christians today. It really is a wake up call isn’t it?” T.S.

Response:

Hello and thank you for sharing this although I must say that this makes me livid. God is going to eternally punish those who aren’t generous with what He has allowed for them to steward and for which they shall be judged. Riches unused for God’s glory will be accounted for by He who sees all. In fact, the LORD told us that those riches are going to testify in court – in the Supreme Court of the Universe before the Ultimate Judge – against those who do not use them for God’s glory (James 5:1-7).

In His Word, the Almighty directly ties together the destiny of our eternal souls with our stewardship. Hell awaits those who aren’t givers – which simply reveals that their hearts and lives are not given over to Christ in a saving relationship. Hell awaits. That is crystal clear in His Word (Luke 16:19-31; Matthew 25:40-46). Remember the man who fared sumptuously (deliciously in comfort and luxury-like 99% of Americans) while Lazarus lacked and yet the man refused to lift a finger to help Lazarus? Where did Jesus say that man went and is today awaiting his appearance at the Great While Throne Judgment where he will be terminated into the very “lake of fire”? (Revelation 20:10-15)

People who can help and refuse are literally going to spend eternity in hell for their evil withholding. They will literally for all eternity wish they had done things differently. This is unbelievable – how little people sell their souls for, thinking they have security in their temporal goods and bank balance. Jesus told one man he had to give it all up – all his wealth (whether much or little) – to follow Christ. Why? – Because the LORD saw that that man’s trust and security was in his money.

In Jesus’ name, I refuse to be quiet about this because it’s all over God’s Word, and, I must preach this part of the whole counsel of God Word so that there is no blood on my hands for not warning (Ezekiel 33). The LORD told us to “Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; 1Ti 6:18  That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; 19 Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.” (1 Timothy 6:17-19)

Regrettably, most who hear this Bible message and warning preached straight from God’s Word, will sadly crassly pass it up as if it didn’t personally apply to them and will stand before God undone. The LORD told us plainly in Luke 16:19-31 that all men “have Moses and the prophets” which simply refers to the written Word of God. The LORD said that’s all we need and that all men are fully accountable to know and obey it or perish. WHAT is the reason for that man going to hell? Go read Luke 16:19-31 and see the exact reason he went to hell and will never again feel comfort for all eternity. The written Word is the final authority of God (Psalms 119; John 10:35; 2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:12-21). Many will say in their darkened hearts “Well, I really don’t have a lot of money. I’m not as rich as some people and so, I am excused.” Nonsense. These same exact people waste dozens or even hundreds of dollars monthly on any number frivolous things while claiming to have nothing to help others with. God sees right through this evil refusal and when they die and cry out to Him, it will be too late. Read Proverbs 1:18-29.

These same people who claim that they have nothing to give find it very easy to impulse buy and to commit to 40.00 month for the gym membership, 50.00 month for cable or satellite TV, perfumes, accessories, clothes they don’t need, entertainment budget, and little or nothing to help Christians in need or the work of Christ. God sees all of this and will repay (Proverbs 11:24-26).

“If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works?” Proverbs 24:12

Now, read this. Could it be any clearer?

“Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 17 But whoso hath this world’s good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? 18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. 19 And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.” 1 John 3:16-19

“What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, 16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? 17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.” James 2:14-17

Those who are not generous with what they do have, do not possess saving faith.

Inasmuch as we turn a deaf ear to the needs of God’s children, we are turning away from Christ Himself and plunging headlong into eternal damnation – “Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. 46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.” (Matthew 25:45-46)

Those who truly belong to Jesus – who came and gave all – are without exception, generous, liberal givers.

“There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty. 25  The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself. 26 He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him: but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.” Proverbs 11:24-26

Empty Your Barn or Go to Hell – The Choice is Yours

“And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. 16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully: 17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits? 18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods. 19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. 20 But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? 21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.” Luke 12:15-21

Mad at me? Go for it. You won’t be the first or last. My desire is to please and obey God and to keep you out of hell. If you will choose to repent, worship Him in spirit and in truth, and obey Him, you will reap blessings untold both now and forever. Otherwise, you will pay for your own sins forever in the lake of fire for rejecting the only sacrifice for your sins. Rejecting Christ means you didn’t abide in faith with Him which always – without fail – yields obedient serving.

People who get nervous about the preaching of stewardship reveal that they are serving money and not God. Their money is what they trust while they feign to be trusting Christ. But Jesus said: “For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. 22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. 23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! 24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.” (Matthew 6:21-24)

Is the LORD you claim to love and be saved by worth giving Him the first portion of your income? You have contracted to pay and scheduled in your mortgage or rent payment and other things, so ask yourself if God is less or more important than those things. Consider putting God first place in your stewardship and watch what He will do.

“Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: 10 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.” Proverbs 3:9-10

FEEDBACK: WOW More Emails About This!  This is Staggering!

“Unfortunately, this is too common and is an indictment upon many who claim to be believers.” Edmund A.

“WOW … How sad! I think that people who do not have as much overflow are more willing to give away what they have because they live by faith! So heart breaking when we can share a portion, God would meet that portion and multiply both portions when done with a right spirit.” Cheryl

“The ‘Lake Of Fire’ is Going to Be None to Pleasant for those that had, and refused to Give…Friends.” Nancy L.

“I can RELATE because I was in this lady’s shoes. I belonged to a BIG CHURCH here in Portland OR! I was homeless, living in my car with my 5 year old son at the time…now is 18. They told me that I could sleep in my car in the ‘churches’ back parking lot but I was to leave before the sunrise in the morning. No church would offer any help! Then there was another time I went to the church asking for help…no the pastor told me when I did these 3 things he would help me. 1. get a place to live, 2 get a job 3. come back to church! Well since then I have done all that. I have been on disability since 2008 — I returned to that church to let him see that I have done all of those things. HE wouldn’t even recognize that I was there in the front pew. Woe be unto those pastors that led us astray. Oh Lord have mercy upon them. Since then the Lord has made provision for me. No church has been able to help me or my family. My 18 year old son told me last night that the churches that I raised him in were ‘FAKE’! I didn’t raise him to feel this way BUT I have many, many stories that I can tell about how churches have treated me and my son. I am Caucasian and my children are malato. Tell me what’s wrong in this story?” Deborah S.

“Sad to say but I live in Australia and have been a Christian for 17 years and this has been the churches exact response to me too… I am a single mum who lives day to day by the grace of God financially.  Being rejected from the visible church I was so hurt and thought something was wrong with me. It cuts deeply that the ones that are my spiritual family abandoned me in my hour of need but God showed Himself stronger and has never been unfaithful to provide for my daughter and I. I am thankful for these experiences because they drew me near to God and I know Him as I do because of it and that is to me very priceless.  Be encouraged, you are not alone…..” Kim H.

Gathering Fruit for Christ’s Eternal Glory [podcast]


IF you are truly born again, God has called you personally to participate in, to obey His Great Commission command— NOT to salvage any country in this fleeting world.

It’s amazing how many people claiming to be saved spend more time, energy, and money trying to save America than they do building up the body of Christ and evangelizing the lost. Anyone claiming to be saved and yet is not participating in the Great Commission command of Christ, is out of the will of God. Repentance needed.

Save America or See Jesus Save Eternal Souls?

“America is under God’s judgment for sure. And recently there was a golden statue made of Trump. And Pastors are praying over it. A golden calf. Same thing happened in the book of Exodus and God slew 3,000 men. This angers Him greatly! There will be a severe price to pay for this adultery! America is definitely going down at the divine judgment of God.” Karen Cochran

Forget saving America. Win souls. Preach the original Gospel to see eternal souls saved unto the LORD. See Mark 16:15-20; Matthew 28:18-20.

A good thing to ask proud Americans who claim they are Christians:

1. “When’s the last time you led someone to Jesus?”

2. “How much time and how much energy do you spend trying in vain to “save America” or “Make America Great Again” compared to the time and energy you spend learning, studying, and meditating on God’s Word and doing it – as in the Great Commission?”

“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

Anyone claiming to be Christ’s and yet is not doing, is not obeying His Great Commission mandate, is not in the will of God.

Regrettably, America is going down in judgment.

No efforts can undo the present reality of those claiming to know Christ refusing to truly repent, nor the 60 million innocent babies America has murdered in cold blood and called it “choice.”

Honoring something God calls “an abomination” brings “the curse of the LORD” upon any nation to do such. See Leviticus 18:22 and Proverbs 3:33. Sodomy is sin!

“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

Doing the will of the Father is executing the Great Commission Jesus gave us!

2 BIBLICAL EVIDENCES PROVE THAT AMERICA IS OVER – if there is no repentance, change [podcast]

“Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work. 35  Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.
36  And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.
37  And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.
38  I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.” John 4:35-38

Jesus says act now! To put off His work is to put off Christ. Read that again!

“And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.” Luke 9:62

Many aren’t putting off their own sinful, lust-filled agenda in the world, right?

There is nothing new under the sun. See the book of Haggai.

Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee [podcast]


Here’s why Jesus came:

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

There is nothing – NO-THING – more important in your life than your relationship with Christ.

Job 22

Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee. 22 Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart. 23 If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles. 24 Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks. 25 Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt have plenty of silver. 26 For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto God. 27 Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows. 28 Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways. 29 When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person. 30 He shall deliver the island of the innocent; and it is delivered by the pureness of thine hands.” Job 22:21-30

“lay up his words in thine heart” v22 – WITH the learning of each new verse of Holy Scripture, each new Bible truth, your knowledge and understanding of the LORD and His kingdom is expanded.

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

“I have seen an end of all perfection: but thy commandment is exceeding broad. 97 MEM. O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the day. 98 Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me. 99 I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation. 100 I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts.” Psalms 119:96-100

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

Lotta Prayer
Lotta Power

Lil power

No such thing as an overcoming, victorious child of God who doesn’t meet daily with God in prayer communion.

Let’s read the words of our LORD Jesus again – aloud:

“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.
