Losing Our Lives is a Must to be Saved in the End
Are We Given to His Blessed Gospel?
Is this not the inner heart attitude toward the work of Christ? Is this the meditation of our own hearts as those who claim to love Jesus and claim even to be truth-seekers?
“Heck, YOU trust God. You’re on your own. I could care less if the Word of God gets to the people. I have no concern for lost souls being reached or God’s children being fed His Word as Jesus commanded. Don’t bother me! Please, I love my fascination with this world system. I have my ticket to Heaven. What is mine is mine and all that matters is my creature comforts in this world. Don’t bother me!”
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. 25 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.” John 12:24-26
Now let’s take close note to the words of the only One who can save you and whom we cannot separate from WHAT HE SAID:
“And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 35 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s, the same shall save it. 36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? 37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? 38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.” Mark 8:34-38
We must reckoning with this portion of Jesus’ message or we will find ourselves hearing from Him in the end “Depart from me!” – “For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake AND THE GOSPEL’S, the same shall save it.” (Mark 8:35; Matthew 25:41)
Is Jesus not saying here that if we truly know Him that we are losing our lives in this fleeting world for the sake of His Gospel? That would mean, that we are losing our lives – abandoning our own bidding and reputation – in order to participate in the spread of the Good News that He came and bled for the sins of all men.
Jesus is saying here that if we do not lose our lives to the point of participating in His Gospel work, we will not be saved.
Am I missing something? I don’t think so.
Are you personally engaged in the work of Christ’s Gospel? If not, does this not reveal that you are not losing your life in this world?
If not, according to Jesus, will you be saved in the end?
Is there a misunderstanding as to what true repentance – losing our lives into His – really means?
If we truly repent – turn our lives over to Him without reserve – will we not be about HIS business and not our own?
So, this means that if we are given over to Christ (which is essential to salvation), then we are given over to the propagation of His blessed Gospel.
Can we fool God? Does the LORD see the very thoughts, motives, intentions, and idols of our hearts?
“If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small. 11 If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death, and those that are ready to be slain; 12 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 24:10-12
Compare this apostasy to the first century follows of Christ whom we know were not deceived but rather authentically His:
“And all that believed were together, and had all things common; 45 And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.” Acts 2:44-45
“Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, 35 And laid them down at the apostles’ feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.” Acts 4:34-35
The proof that we have given our hearts to Jesus is that HE owns all we have, that we are no longer our own but rather bought with the price of His very blood, that we are giving all for His Gospel, and that we claim to right to our own lives.
Am I deceived to imagine that I love the LORD when I don’t put Him or His Gospel message first place in my personal live? Did He not say that I am utterly deceived if I am merely a hearer of the Word and not a doer of it? (James 1:22; 1 John 3:18)
What does Jesus really merit in your life? Does He merit you fasting and praying to get closer to Him? Does Jesus merit your losing your own life in this life?
Are you committing the sin of self-idolatry? If so, is this not why the joy, peace, and love of Jesus has disappeared from your life?
Will you be that living sacrifice He calls you to be? (Romans 12:1)
Just how important is Jesus Christ to you?
He’s coming so very soon precious friend. There’s no time like right now to say to Him “Father, into Your hands I commit my spirit. I lay my life in Your holy hands. I am all yours now LORD Jesus! I love You. Break me! Use me! I am no longer my own but Yours.”
**Beware of the counterfeit, cross-less gospel being peddled by most who are leading (mis-leading). Become very familiar with Paul’s warning in Philippians 3:18-21.
All true disciples of Jesus Christ are learning to die (Galatians 5:24; Colossians 3:3). Their affections are upon Jesus Christ and no other and not this sinful world! Think about that and you will begin to see just how “few” who go to church and claim to be Christians are on the narrow way which leads to life (Matthew 7:13-14). Deceivers abound who by not dying to self and therefore not teaching the daily cross, are leading men down that wide path and into that wide gate that leads to eternal damnation! Beware!
Not one of us has perfectly died and yet, our LORD is working in us both to will and to do of His good pleasure as we work out our salvation with fear and trembling (Philippians 2:12-13). He is perfecting that which concerns us as Jesus continues that good work He began in us (Philippians 1:6). Note: We must do it His way and upon His terms and not our own or the false message of the apostate, antichrist modern church world. As we set aside our own lives for the glory of His life – knowing Him – we are being raised up by the Holy Ghost to please Him fully and be fruitful to Jesus Christ’s eternal glory (Romans 6-8). This is the Gospel in our daily lives – death, burial, and resurrection. Study this truth. Forget the self-serving wolves who have you focusing on and esteeming self. Instead, die to self. Lay it all down! Get the books I Die Daily and Raised Up.

Top 12 Missing Essential Doctrines in the Modern Church World! [podcast]

DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOUR “CHURCH” OR FAVORITE PREACHER? It’s real simple… if they are not preaching the cardinal doctrines of the original Gospel given to us in the New Testament, they are preaching “another gospel” and are “accursed.” (Galatians 1:6-9).
“For MANY DECEIVERS ARE ENTERED INTO THE WORLD, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. 8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. 9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. 10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: 11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.” 2 John 1:7-11
Modern church wolves refuse to preach the original Gospel of Jesus Christ from the pages of Holy Scripture and in the power of the Holy Ghost. No, instead they preach sermonettes that cater to the self-worshiping idolaters they entertain and collect money from (2 Timothy 3:1-7). They don’t even use the King James Bible but rather some cheap counterfeit. Their ear-tickling topics range from healing damaged emotions, 5 love languages, best life now, recovery, learning to love yourSELF, coping platitudes, loneliness, psychobabble band aids, law of attraction, being a successful single, purpose driven delusionment, etc.
LOTS of lying going on when we have counterfeits peddling affirmation without salvation, the “promise” of things “getting better” when their prey are heading straight to hell. Especially certain social media platforms are flooded with this false gospel coming out of “Christians.” There is no sin or repentance in their message which alone identifies it as a false gospel. You see, the things that are happening to the sinners around us are allowed by God in order to lead them to repentance and yet, the counterfeits among us are assuring those sinners it’s all going to get better and never giving them the 10 Commandments to show them they are sinners (Galatians 3:24) and then, leading them to Jesus (Romans 10:9-10, 13, etc.). 10 Commandments Evangelism
In the modern church world, there is …..
No cross. No Jesus. No blood. No judgment. No sin. No repentance. No hell. No readiness for the soon return of Jesus. No Heaven. No equipping preparation for ministry. No Scripture memory. No holiness. No Messianic prophecies and their fulfillment. No Christology. No fear of God. No repentance. etc., all of which are Bible doctrines essential to salvation and/or essential to sound foundation in Christ and are missing in the modern church world.
“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

When’s the last time you heard verses like this in the modern church?
“So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.” Luke 14:33
“Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.” Luke 17:33
The modern church is going down in flames into the flames of hell. It cannot be reformed. Come out from it.
“And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.” Revelation 18:4
In 2 Timothy 4:3 to “endure sound doctrine” means to hold oneself accountable to it. WHAT’s at the root of those who refuse to “endure sound doctrine”? – They simply do not love Jesus like He commanded them to (Matthew 22:37-39). They profess Christ as Savior and yet love self supremely and therefore serve the god of self. The Holy Ghost through Paul told us this of those who have a mere “form of godliness” in the last day resumé found in 2 Timothy 3:1-7.
Notice by divine design the very first thing he reveals is that “men shall be lovers of their own selves.” All the following evil comes out of self love, refusal to love God supremely and therefore repent, deny self, take up the cross and follow Jesus:
“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.” 2 Timothy 3:1-7
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).
“For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:” Exodus 34:14

Fulfilling Your Calling [podcast]

“And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it.” Colossians 4:17
MINISTRY which pleases God is simply helping people know and grow in Christ for themselves – by the cross life and getting into HIS Word for themselves so they can follow HIM, not you! True ministry fosters in the hearers faith in God, not the preacher or local church organization! Read 1 Corinthians 2:1-5; 2 Corinthians 1:9; 3:5; 4:5.
Your communications and ministry are fed and fueled by your personal daily study and knowledge of God’s Word (Proverbs 22:17-21; 2 Timothy 2:15).
Ephesians 4:1-14
“I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, 2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; 3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; 5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. 7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. 8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. 9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? 10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.) 11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 For the perfecting (equipping, maturing) of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: 14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;” Ephesians 4:1-14

Swept Away in the “Strong Delusion” [podcast]

Recorded at a fellowship in Houston, Texas
God Himself personally sends a “strong delusion” to all who do not love His truth so that they WILL believe lies. He greases their pole to hell. That’s how personally He takes it when people call Him a liar by not believing His Word.
“Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10 and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12
“Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.” Colossians 2:8
Notice “of God” and “NOT of God”
“He that is OF GOD heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are NOT OF GOD.” John 8:47
