Is Ravi Zacharias in Hell?

“Christians do not judge the world. Christians must judge those who SAY they live for Christ. Wolves will not spare the flock where pretenders go unchallenged/unjudged.” Robert Lorne

RZIM or Ravi Zacharias is clear proof that all a man has to do is speak eloquently, to be confident in what he’s saying, and gullible dupes who refuse to read and heed God’s Word for themselves will flock to and support that “ministry.” More on that in a moment.

Though we sure hope it isn’t the case, Ravi Zacharias apparently died in sin. There is no evidence he repented and definite evidence that he was not forthright, not honest about the sin he was involved in for years and at the time of his death. Every unrepentant adulterer, fornicator, will spend eternity in the lake of fire (Galatians 5:19-21; Revelation 21:8, etc.).

Yes God is the Judge and yet we know that the Judge has spoken – and if you have a Bible you should observe what He has stated on this matter. Here’s a passage we should become very familiar with:

“Therefore, thou son of man, say unto the children of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression: as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turneth from his wickedness; neither shall the righteous be able to live for his righteousness in the day that he sinneth. 13 When I shall say to the righteous, that he shall surely live; if he trust to his own righteousness, and commit iniquity, all his righteousnesses shall not be remembered; but for his iniquity that he hath committed, he shall die for it.” Ezekiel 33:12-13

As seen above and in the 2 thieves on the crosses flanking our LORD in His crucifixion, God judges men in the state they die in.

“He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.” Revelation 22:11

Do we begin to see why Jesus and His apostles spoke so often about being always “ready”?

“Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.” Luke 12:40

“And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. 35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.” Luke 21:34-36

Many who are “reformed” or believe in eternal security will gasp at the possibility of Ravi Zacharias being in hell. They believe in the heresy of “perseverance of the saints” also known as OSAS (once saved always saved), otherwise known as “eternal security.” This evil falsehood robs the fear of God from the heart and leads people who get saved to not be vigilant and diligent in serving the LORD and they “fall away” which Jesus and His apostles foretold would happen (Luke 8:13; 1 Timothy 4:1-2, etc.).

“They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation FALL AWAY.” Luke 8:13

“Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall DEPART FROM THE FAITH, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;” 1 Timothy 4:1

With all the professed Christian leaders teaching this eternal security heresy, should we be surprised at how many are falling? This teaching is designed by Satan for just such an outcome (Genesis 2:17; 3:4). And since so many don’t want to lay down their lives, deny self, and truly follow Jesus in this fleeting world, they receive and believe this lie (2 Timothy 4:2-4).

Typically, as was the case when Satan initially gave this eternal security teaching to the first man and woman, the fear of God vanquished from their hearts. And, so they were emboldened to sin against God because they no longer feared Him, believing they could sin against Him with no consequence. Yet the consequence was that they died, they were then spiritually separated from the LORD who is holy (Genesis 3).

“Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. 4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. 5 I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.” Jude 3-5

V 3-5 Summation: The true body of Christ is to “earnestly contend” against this lie of “lasciviousness”, knowing that some who were once “saved” out of “Egypt” (sin) will “afterward” be “destroyed.”

“Awake to righteousness, and sin not.” 1 Corinthians 15:34

There’s no doubt that when there’s temptation, there’s also a choice. When a man sins it is a choice and it is 100% his own choice and fault (Ecclesiastes 7:20; James 1:13-15). No man is forced to sin. There’s also no doubt that those who attempt to hide or cover that sin – to justify it – will perish.

“He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.” Proverbs 28:13

We must be honest and confess all sin. God sees it anyway so I just can’t understand why we think we could hide anything from Him (Proverbs 15:3; Jeremiah 23:24).

Regrettably, there is no indication that Ravi Zacharias got honest and repented.

ANY person who dies in sin, without repenting, is going to hell for eternity and it’s going to be worse for those who were previously saved.

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

The wages of sin is still “death” which is separation from God (Romans 6:23).

“the soul that sinneth, it shall die.” Ezekiel 18:4

Read the following passage carefully. The LORD will separate from Himself, now and eternally, any person He’s preciously saved who then goes back to sin and doesn’t repent.

Satan, the “god of this world” who is “prince of the power of the air”, is the one who makes these frauds popular in order to mislead the masses (2 Corinthians 4:4; Ephesians 2:1-3). Nearly all extremely popular ministries are peddling Satan’s first and perpetual lie which is today packaged in calvinism/reformed theology and the name of “eternal security.” Do we really think that’s an accident?

Jesus taught His own 12 that only those who “endure to the end” are going to be saved. Throughout Scripture, God’s Word teaches initial and final salvation (Matthew 10:22; 24:13; Acts 14:23; Romans 11:20-22; Colossians 1:23; Hebrews 3:6, 12-14; 10:26-39; Revelation 2-3, etc.).

Trust no man. Trust God. Read His Word for yourself – daily! (2 Timothy 2:15; 3:16-17) God gave us His Word, the King James Bible (for the English speaking peoples), to establish us in His truth and keep us protected from being deceived (Proverbs 30:5; Acts 20:20-32, etc.).

TODAY in giving an answer to an eternal security person, the following response was given:

“You are lying against the LORD while claiming to represent Him. There is no Scripture that supports an un-conditional eternal security. You’ve allowed yourself to be misled by your own refusal to “Study to shew THYSELF approved unto God.” (1 Timothy 2:15) So, you use mere sin-justifying human reasoning instead of learning God’s Word for yourself and believing and obeying Him. No one here except you mentioned saving ourselves. Only Jesus can save us and yet JESUS gave conditions – initial and ongoing. The Word teaches initial and final salvation. After being saved, one must “endure to the end” in faith or perish. And, saving faith always produced a holy life (Matthew 3:7-10; Titus 2:11-14, etc.).

“And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God (Word of God), that ye may keep your own tradition.” Mark 7:6-9

The Holy Spirit dwells in every true believer but that in no way guarantees or forces that individual to “abide”, that is, remain, continue in Christ to the end of His life on earth. And Jesus says to His own that we must “endure to the end” to be “saved”, to “abide” and if we don’t we shall be cast into the fire (Matthew 10:22; 24:13; John 15:6, etc.). God’s Word teaches both initial salvation and final salvation. Most of the evangelical world has been deceived into limiting salvation to that initial born again experience. “If we deny him he also WILL deny us.” (2 Timothy 2:12).

Undeniably, un-conditional eternal security is the first lie Satan told to mankind which caused his fall – and he’s still telling the same lie (Gen 2:17; 3:4). Jesus taught “If a man abide (remain) not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.” (John 15:6). See also Ezekiel 33:12-13 and Matthew 10:22; 24:13; 2 Peter 2:20-21; Hebrews 10:26-39, etc.).”

Also…

Today, many ministries are formed and extremely popular which endlessly dialogue with people, lost people (such as so-called “atheists”) in order to somehow convince them to become a Christian, as if they can be talked into regeneration by a mere man. Ravi Zacharias is one example of how a man can endlessly philosophy about the existence of God without ever using Scripture – which is the only way people will be convicted and saved into Christ’s kingdom (Psalms 19:7). Yet millions of professing Christians patronized, supported, and heralded this man who never used Scripture. Millions of professing Christians today follow these types of Bible-less, Scripture-less “ministries.”

Now we are seeing the employees of RZIM coming out and saying things like “What We Can Learn From the Ravi Zacharias Scandal.” Ridiculous. Sounds like these employees for RZIM are simply trying to preserve their jobs which is no basis for a ministry, especially not one cursed at the root. What we CAN learn??? OR, what we should have known and learned since we’ve all had the Bible available to us from birth. This “what we can learn” bit is a worn out cover-up excuse which seems to be used by some to get past all the heat and yet seems also to reveal that this is really not being dealt with at the root. How is RZIM even salvageable? It was founded and perpetrated on lies and sin. Ravi Zacharias seldom if ever even used the Bible. THAT’s not a ministry for Christ at all. And, all he did was seek to convince people that there was a God. Jesus and His prophets and apostles never did such. ALL men know they are a God and the LORD sends His people forth to “preach the word” which alone can lead to salvation (1 Peter 1:23, etc.). “The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.” (Psalms 19:7) Also, faith does not come by mere human philosophy or science but rather “faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” (Romans 10:17) It’s not our job or calling to convince people there is a God but rather to obey God by simply preaching His Word to them so that HE convicts and draws them to Himself to be saved. Clearly, to prop of this “ministry” would be to perpetrate a fraud, which was established on a cursed foundation (Matthew 7:19-29).

Evangelism today, in the apostate modern church, has been reduced to simply attempting to prove something people already know – that God exists (Romans 1:19-20). Whole multi-million dollar ministries like Ravi Zacharias’ were funded on this premise with very little Scripture ever mentioned and no Gospel preaching. (God’s people should support the teaching and preaching of His Word and equipping of His saints for the work of the ministry John 21:15-17; Ephesians 4:11-14; 2 Timothy 4:2, etc.).

Recently on Christian radio, a lady talked about helping people to “come closer and closer to Jesus.” This is clear proof of catholic, ecumenical influence. The idea that a sinner can “come closer and closer to Jesus” is the antichrist works-based, earn-your-own-way heresy of spiritual evolution where people are gradually saved or evolve into salvation. Not. Totally false.

2,000 years ago on that cross, Jesus said “It is finished” which means paid in full (John 19:30). So we know that when the individual sinner is saved, it is immediate. Righteousness is instantly imputed. Salvation, justification, passing from death unto life is immediate upon being born again – and that happens as the Word of God is taught and preached and not when people are led to believe they are evolving into becoming a Christian. Going to MacDonald’s (poison) every day for years won’t make anyone a hamburger and going to church for years won’t make anyone a Christian. A sinner is a sinner, separated from God, until he repents and believes at which point, and no point before, he is now saved.

Salvation is imputed, transferred from Christ’s account to the recipient, otherwise it must be earned by us, which is impossible (Isaiah 64:6). Read Romans 4.

Imputation is the transaction of divine righteousness by God’s sheer mercy to the account of the now repentant, believing sinner whom Jesus is saving (initial salvation).

This in no means communicates that the gift of salvation can’t be forfeited. It most certainly can be (Luke 8:13; Romans 11:20-22; Hebrews 10:26-39; 2 Peter 2:20-22, etc.).

After being saved, the recipient of the gift of salvation must “endure to the end”, must continue to “walk in the light” with Christ in order to be perpetually cleansed (1 John 1:7).

Charles Finney is the one who perpetrated the lie that righteousness is not imputed.

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.” John 6:47

Salvation begins at initial, is present, and future.

“Who delivered (past-at initial salvation) us from so great a death, and doth deliver (as we presently abide): in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us (future);” 2 Corinthians 1:10

The Curse of a Divided Heart and Blessing of a Whole Heart! [podcast]

Israel’s heart was divided. The solution.

“Their heart is divided; now shall they be found faulty: he shall break down their altars, he shall spoil their images … 12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you.” Hosea 10:2, 12

King Asa: Tragic end of an otherwise obedient, fruitful, God-glorifying life….

Are you blessed or cursed?

“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

King Asa trusted the physicians and not the LORD and he paid dearly.

“And Asa in the thirty and ninth year of his reign was diseased in his feet, until his disease was exceeding great: yet in his disease he sought not to the LORD, but to the physicians.” 2 Chronicles 16:12

Feet speak of foundation. Without feet, physically we cannot stand. Without a sound foundation of truth, of God’s Word in our lives, we shall not stand. Read Matthew 7:19-29.

One writes notes the following about the meaning of feet in God’s Word:

“Why Are Feet Important in the Bible? Just as men and women stand upon their feet as the foundation of upright posture, Bible verses also use feet as a euphemism to represent a strong foundation in various circumstances. Feet are not referenced as we see them today, but they are used as symbols to represent greater metaphorical concepts, such as guidance or direction.

The feet represented something that was common to all people but used differently. For example, one of the most noted scripture texts involving feet is Psalm 119:105, ‘Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.’ This emphasizes how the feet are used to travel and traverse. Yet, without the word, the traveler is left walking in the dark without a known path.

Essentially, the feet are referenced as a critical part of life as walking was commonplace. We naturally travel where our feet lead us and the Bible verses use feet to represent a means of traveling through life itself. If we walk down a dark path, we are likely to stumble. If we walk down a holy path, we are sure to please God. All of this is facilitated symbolically by the feet.”

The foundation truth we learn in God’s Word and obedience to it determines the direction of our lives.

“As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: 7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.” Colossians 2:6-7

Becoming Rooted and Grounded in Christ

Like Asa, many today trust the counsel of mere men, such as doctors and not God. This doesn’t mean going to a doctor is a sin and yet, the true disciple will primarily trust and obey and be led of the LORD, not men.

“But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” Hebrews 11:6

Read Hebrews 3-4 prayerfully for the eternal danger of having “an evil heart of unbelief” AFTER being saved. Repentance required.

“They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.” Psalms 12:2

Got depression? Are you seeking the LORD in true repentance whereby He will grant you great joy? (Psalms 51; 2 Timothy 1:7) Or, are you seeking out and trusting the mere human, the finite pundits of this fleeting world?

“But ye are forgers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value.” Job 13:4

Those who trust human physicians and not the Great Physician, are cursed, not blessed. Their faith in mere men reveals their utter rebellion.

“See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.” Jeremiah 1:10

2 Chronicles 15:17 – Upon becoming king in Judah, Asa, having inherited an idolatrous, lukewarm people, system… he began to command that…

The people do that which is right in God’s eyes (2 Chronicles 14:2)
That all idolatrous altars we torn down (2 Chronicles 14:3)
That God’s people seek His face (2 Chronicles 14:4)
That idol altars in the cities of Judah be removed – “and the kingdom was quiet before him” (2 Chronicles 14:5) ….. Proverbs 1:33
Fenced cities be built …. so the land could be at rest, at peace, and not fear the enemy (2 Chronicles 14:6)
The people be involved in building fenced, walled, protected cities – “Therefore he said unto Judah, Let us build these cities, and make about them walls, and towers, gates, and bars, while the land is yet before us; because we have sought the LORD our God, we have sought him, and he hath given us rest on every side. So they built and prospered.” (2 Chronicles 14:7) …… 1 Chron 16:11
Great military be built (2 Chronicles 14:8)

“The LORD is with you, while ye be with him; and IFFFF ye seek him, he will be found of you; but IF ye forsake him, he will forsake you.” 2 Chronicles 15:2

“But the high places were not taken away out of Israel: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.” 2 Chronicles 15:17

“Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: 21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. 22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.” Hebrews 11:20-22

“The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.” Psalms 9:17

“Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.” Psalms 50:22

“Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.” 2 Chronicles 20:20

God blesses those who trust Him and curses, removes His blessings from those who once trusted Him and yet now have forgotten Him. When we willingly offer ourselves as living sacrifices to the LORD our God, He avenges us of all our enemies (Judges 5:2) …. “But IF thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries.” (Exodus 23:22)

“WHEN” does God avenge us of our enemies? “WHEN” does God judge our enemies?

“Praise ye the LORD for the avenging of Israel, WHEN the people willingly offered themselves.” Judges 5:2

When we offer our lives a living sacrifice unto the LORD – that is, we simply surrender this life to Him – the subduing of our enemies begins.

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” Romans 12:1-2

Asa reigned as king in Judah for 39 years (2 Chronicles 14-16).

In his final days, after obeying God and bringing much needed reform to the people of God, Asa forgot the LORD, and had grown cold in his faith and was therefore cursed with a divided heart.

All those who trust mere men, just because they have a white coat on and are called “doctor”, are going to die as did king Asa who trusted in earthly physicians, instead of the Great Physician! Repent now sinner.

“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

Are you a pessimistic pansy or an optimistic overcomer? Are you like the 10 spies or the 2 who entered the promised land while the 10 sad sack whiners were shut out? “The righteous are bold as a lion.” (Proverbs 28:1) Jesus asks “WHERE is your faith?” (Luke 8:25) Repenting for real and putting all your trust in the LORD is essential – and no one will be in the promise land of Heaven without sound, solid faith in God. “Without faith it is impossible to please him.” (Hebrews 11:6). “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)

Read Revelation 2-3.

Remember the woman Jesus, the Great Divine Physician made whole of her issue who had previously spent all she had on human physicians?

“And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years, 26 And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse, 27 When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment. 28 For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole. 29 And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague. 30 And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him (accessed by faith in Him), turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes? 31 And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? 32 And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing. 33 But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth. 34 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith (in God not men) hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.” Mark 5:25-34

You claim to be trusting God but you take a mood drug? I don’t think so. MOOD DRUGS ARE FOR THE WICKED UNBELIEVERS. PERIOD. REPENT.

When a person resorts to using a drug to uplift their mood, they are loving and believing the world more than God, forfeiting the blessing of God for a cheap substitute, and manifesting their contempt for the LORD, their unbelief. A born again, presently abiding disciple of Jesus has all the fruit of the Holy Spirit which include, “Love, joy, peace…” (Galatians 5:22-23) God gives His people “power… love, and a sound mind.” (2 Timothy 1:7) God’s Word has the answer to “ALL things that pertain unto life and godliness” and that specifically includes a “sound mind.” (2 Peter 1:3-4) Holy Scripture specifically uses the terms “sound mind” and “sound heart” which come only from learning and adhering to “sound doctrine.”

We live in a fallen world and were born in sin. Via the things that have happened to us and that we ourselves have perpetrated on others, fragmentation of our hearts has occurred. Only One can make us whole.

“And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, 18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, 19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.” Luke 4:17-19

“And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.” 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24

“He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.” Psalms 147:3

Counting it all Joy

“My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; 3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. 4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. 5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. 6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. 8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.” James 1:2-8

Through the trials we face in this life, we must learn to “count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations”, trust God not men, ask for and rely on His wisdom and not waver, but rather finished our course trusting and walking with Christ to the end of our lives.

“I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:” 2 Timothy 4:7

“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

The Whole Heart

“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 15:15

The result of seeking the LORD with a whole heart is that He gives us “rest round about.”

“But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.” Proverbs 1:33

9 Times in the book of Psalms the words “Whole Heart” appear. Here’s the first 3 of that collection:

“I will praise thee, O LORD, with my WHOLE HEART; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.” Psalms 9:1

“Praise ye the LORD. I will praise the LORD with my WHOLE HEART, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation.” Psalms 111:1

“Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the WHOLE HEART.” Psalms 119:2

PRAYER: Dear heavenly Father, I have sinned against You by not wholly trusting You. I have not sought You with my whole heart. Here and now I confess this for the evil sin of unbelief and rebellion that it is and ask You to please forgive me now in the name of Jesus. Please wash me afresh from all my sins with the precious blood of Jesus Christ. Also please make my heart whole and increase and fill me with Your faith Father, and cause me to trust You with all of my heart, no matter what. I love You my dear LORD. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Fresh Start with God

MESSAGE RECEIVED:

“Hi Todd. I just want to make sure that when I’m talking about salvation but I am being biblically correct. I don’t believe in once saved always saved. While I believe God is always willing to forgive and restore the backslider. I do believe that a person can choose to turn away from God and go back to living a life of sin they’re for forfeiting their eternal life. Any correction would be greatly appreciated. In Christ. Andrea”

REPLY:

Yes amen sister Andrea

Nice to hear from you

Very important doctrinal topic here

All it takes to go to hell after being saved is to be “lukewarm” right? Yes. Revelation 3:15-16

These 2 categories are loaded: Check it out. LOTS of Scripture to shape pure doctrine in your heart and life and ministering.

In Jesus, todd

Lukewarm is Hell Bound | OSAS/eternal security is a lie from hell |

Being Made Whole in Christ [podcast]

PSYCHO-BABBLE, PSYCHOTHERAPY IS A LIE THAT PROMISES ANSWERS WHILE ALLOWING ITS FALSE PROPHETS TO MILK THE VICTIM$ WITH ITS LIES (2 Peter 2:1-3). Oh you all the time hear frauds telling you how they “got therapy” and that “you need therapy” or “counseling.” Yet, they would never say “You need Jesus”, or “you need His Word, to get into His Word.” (2 Timothy 2:15; 3:15-17, etc.) 100% frauds. Antichrists – due to putting something, anything in place of Jesus Christ (1 John 2:18:4:1-3). They refuse to uphold the “HEAD” of His body, from whom alone flows all divine virtue […]

Spiritual Adultery: Worshipping Wolves! [podcast]

We have Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and the Bible so shouldn’t be overly enamored with mere sinful men (1 Corinthians 1:29-2:5). “Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart, and put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face: should I be enquired of at all by them?” Ezekiel 14:3 God is toppling all the heart idols (Ezekiel 14:3)… because He’s Jealous and wants us looking to Him and not these mere men, these vile wolves, these “celebrity” sinners posing as His representatives (Exodus 34:14). They are kindling for the fires of eternal damnation and […]

"A Faithful Man shall Abound with Blessings" [podcast]

Do you desire to abound in the blessings of God? Jesus our LORD taught that as we are faithful with what the LORD has already given us, then, and only then, will He multiply it. ASK YOURSELF: Are you faithful to abide, to obey Him by obeying His Word? If so, Jesus and the Father are dwelling richly with you and will multiply you according to your proper, wise, faithful stewardship of what is already in your possession – which is from Him. See John 14:21-23. “A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be […]
