Living with an Eternal Perspective [podcast]
Eternal Prosperity or Damnation?
“Naked came I out of my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.” Job 1:21
ONE THING’S FOR CERTAIN, NONE OF US CAME INTO THIS WORLD WITH ANYTHING AT ALL MATERIALLY OR FINANCIALLY, AND, WE WILL LEAVE THIS WORLD THE SAME WAY – STRIPPED NAKED WITH ONLY OUR DEEDS TO BE JUDGED BY – WHICH CLEARLY REFLECTS WHAT WE ALLOWED TO REIGN IN OUR HEARTS (REVELATION 2:26).
—– ANY PERSON WHO DOES NOT SERVE THE BODY OF CHRIST CLEARLY MANIFESTS THE FRUIT OF AN ANTICHRIST. A MOUNTAIN OF SCRIPTURES DEMONSTRATE SUCH. GETTING OUR HOUSE IN ORDER INVOLVES THE STEWARDSHIP OF OUR HEARTS, OUR TIME, OUR TALENTS, OUR PRIORITIES, AND OUR TREASURES. THOSE WHO KNOW JESUS CHRIST HAVE LAID DOWN THEIR LIVES AND THEY LOVE AND SERVE HIS PEOPLE – PERIOD AND WITHOUT EXCEPTION. WANT TO EXAMINE YOURSELF HONESTLY? MEASURE HOW YOU DO OR DO NOT SERVE CHRIST’S BODY AND THERE YOU WILL SEE WHAT SPIRITUAL STATE YOU ARE IN, IF YOU WILL CRY OUT TO THE LORD AND ASK HIM TO SHOW YOU THE TRUTH (2 CORINTHIANS 13:5).
How do we know if we are truly Christ’s disciple?
“By THIS shall all men know that ye are my disciples, IF ye have love one to another.” John 13:35
—— “Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality” (Romans 12:13). DO YOU know a Christian in need? Help them – now – without hesitation. It’s YOUR privilege to take that opportunity (test) to hand out what GOD owns and has put in your care (Acts 20:35).
Do you know a brother or sister who needs groceries or to pay a bill, etc.? Why are you standing around twiddling your thumbs? Do what God said! Give. Jump in there and supply beloved. Follow Christ who gave all (John 15:13).
To those who would sin against God by withholding: Is that aid you withhold worth your eternal soul? (Matthew 25:40-46; Luke 16:19-31; James 2:14-17; 1 John 3:16-19) Jesus is watching and He knows what you have (Mark 12:41-44). Deliver your own soul by giving before it’s too late (Proverbs 11:24-26; 24:10-12). What shall you say to Him who gave all to redeem you and who put that seed, that possession, that money in your hands and is watching how your steward it? (Matthew 24-25; Luke 12; 1 Timothy 6, etc.). Give it or perish with it – “Thy money perish with thee” (Acts 8:20). Get the blood off of your hands. Cease to trust what supposed “wealth” you have in your possession and turn your trust to the LORD before it’s too late.
—- The rich man in Luke 16 died with many possessions and money in the bank – resources he trusted in instead of trusting God and refused to help Lazarus, a godly man whose need he knew. This once rich man who is naked and poor for all eternity in hell served himself and therefore his money was his “security.” But Heaven’s King says: “Ye cannot serve God and mammon” (Matthew 6:24). Lazarus was an opportunity right in the face of – under the very nose of – this once rich man. Like many today, this wicked man cared only for his own self and stuff and therefore could care less about others. Perhaps this man even had “a form of godliness,” went to church and claimed to be a servant of the LORD.
Will you follow that evil-hearted once “rich” man to hell, all the while professing to be serving the One who came and gave all? You are only fooling yourself (Galatians 6:7-8).
Do you think this man, if he had one more chance, this man who has been suffering excruciating pain in hell for 2,000 years, would repent at once? Too late now because “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment” (Hebrews 9:27). Upon death, ones eternal destiny is irreversibly, irrevocably sealed (Revelation 22:11). There is no second chance.
God saw exactly what Ananias and Sapphira held back and He sees what you are holding back – and trusting in instead of trusting Him. WHO is your provider? And what did the unchanging God do to Ananias and Sapphira who were in His church? – The LORD killed them dead and they are also both in hell because that’s exactly where all liars, thieves, and deceivers go (Acts 5; Revelation 21:8, 27, etc.). If you are withholding something from its Owner (God owns all), you are a thief in His holy eyes and worthy of eternal condemnation – and as sure as you are reading these words, that’s exactly where you are headed if you refuse to give your life to the One who made you. When you give your life – truly – then you own nothing, you possess nothing. The Bible tells us that naked came we into this world and naked shall we return to stand before the Judge of our eternal souls with nothing but our deeds which are a reflection of what is truly in our hearts (1 Timothy 6:6-19).
Judas betrayed the Savior, the precious Son of God for 30 pieces of silver! How much will it take for you to betray the Lamb of God? These Christ-betraying rebels we read about in Scripture all gave up the only Messiah and salvation in eternal glory for temporary trinkets. Esau gave up his birthright for a mere bowl of soup! See Hebrews 12:14-17. Will you do the same? What now shall these Christ-denying lost souls give in exchange for their eternally conscious souls? Nothing now – it’s too late.
What will you do if you retain something the LORD has convicted you to give? Will you admit it and confess it as a sin before the LORD?
“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” 1 John 1:9
Those greedy, iniquitous rebels we are warned to learn from all sinned away their day of grace and there’s no second chance for them. They are signed, sealed, delivered, slam dunked into the bowels of eternal torment, the fires of which will forever feed upon their hopeless, helpless, eternally conscious souls.
“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
What will you give up your eternal soul for? What will you trade Christ in for? What possession or money have you to give that you may have be resisting giving over to Christ? What will you go to hell and the lake of fire for? What price do you place on Christ and your never ending soul?
What shall you say to Him who gave all to redeem you and who put that seed, that possession, that money in your hands and is watching how you are stewarding it?
The rich man in Luke 16 died with many material possessions and money in the bank – resources he trusted in instead of trusting God and refused to help Lazarus, a godly man whose need he knew.
1 Timothy 6
“But godliness with contentment is great gain.
7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
13 I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession;
14 That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:
15 Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
16 Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.
17 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;
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. ”
——- LIKE IT OR NOT, THE ETERNAL PEACE, PROSPERITY, AND PROTECTION OF YOUR ETERNAL SOUL IS CONTINGENT UPON PERSONALLY, INDIVIDUALLY HEARKENING TO AND OBEYING THE LORD. HIS WORD IS HIS INSTRUCTION. BEWARE OF THOSE WHO SELL YOU ON A NO-PERSONAL-RESPONSIBILITY SALVATION. SEE MATTHEW 7:21. GOD MADE UP THE CONDITIONS NOT MAN AND JESUS WARNS US THAT “MANY” WHO THINK THEY ARE OF GOD WILL BE SENT TO ETERNAL DAMNATION (MATTHEW 7:19-23). GOD IS ABLE IF WE WILL TRULY RENDER OUR HEARTS TO HIM.
The LORD gave us the absolute promise to keep us in His blessed, perfect peace only as we keep our minds and heart stayed or fixed upon Him.
“Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. 4 Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength.” Isaiah 26:3-4

“That Ye all Speak the Same Thing” [podcast]
Yes some abandon the sound doctrine which is the Holy Scriptures (2 Timothy 3:15-17). Let such cease.
“That ye all speak the same thing” right?
“Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.” 1 Corinthians 1:10
Satan is introducing doubting, casting doubt upon what God has said, His Word, when he said to the woman in the temptation, “Hath God said?” See Genesis 3:1. And Satan in this exchange, changed, altered what God said, God’s Word. See Genesis 2:17 and 3:4. Game changer! The enemy has not changed and we are not be ignorant of his devices, right? (2 Corinthians 2:11).
“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.” Colossians 3:16
We stand with both feet and every ounce of our weight on God’s Word with utter impunity to Satan and his kingdom of evil.
“God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.” Romans 3:4
The final blow of death is coming to him, soon.
“And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.” Romans 16:20
“But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:” Titus 2:1
“If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.” 1 Peter 4:11

Abiding
Fruitful Life. Fruitful Evangelism. [podcast]
The Life God Blesses to Bear Fruit for His Eternal Glory
A fruitful life for God’s glory involves first being genuinely born again, abiding in Christ via the crucified life, bearing spiritual fruit—such as Christlikeness in character, good works, and evangelism—by remaining in vital union with Jesus, the true vine (John 15).
“Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.” John 15:16
JUST as Jesus multiplied the little with the boy who gave the loaves and fishes, so He does with our efforts. Jesus multiplied that little and fed 5,000 men, and that doesn’t count the women and children present. Try Him.
“O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.” Psalms 34:8
“And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
45 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 25:40-46
God blesses the lives of His faithful saints. His faithful saints seek His face continually.
“Seek the Lord and his strength, seek his face continually.” 1 Chronicles 16:11
God prospers us according as we seek His face and stay upon Him. Of king Uzziah king of Judah, God’s Word says:
“As long as he sought the LORD, God made him to prosper.” 2 Chronicles 26:5
At times in this life there are season of uncertainty, where our vision may not be clear. We must “stay upon” the LORD.
“Who is among you that feareth the LORD, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of the LORD, and stay upon his God.” Isaiah 50:10
“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, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the LORD; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive.” Jeremiah 29:11-14
“But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.” 1 Corinthians 15:10
“Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.” Ephesians 3:20
“And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work.” 2 Corinthians 9:8
We’ve never been so reminded of this as of the miraculous events of late where beloved brother Juan dropped some plastic water bottles that hit me in the feet. Only God could have orchestrated this collision of Juan’s life and mine.
“The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.” Psalms 37:23
Ask Him.
Recently brother Stacy Strother reminded me that God simply wants us, His people to be available, to pray and watch Him work!
“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. 19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. 20 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.” Mark 16:15-20
It has been wisely stated:
“Show me a man’s prayer life, his life of prayer or lack thereof, and I will show you who that man truly is and who and what he loves most.”
All who are zealous for the LORD are zealous about His work, to do it. Not build a church, but to see Christ work in the hearts of men—to strengthen and equip His body and convict and save lost souls to Himself.
One source notes:
“Evangelism is the act of sharing the Christian gospel—the ‘good news’ of Jesus Christ’s life, death, and resurrection—with the aim of inviting others into a relationship with God. It is considered a core mission for believers to spread this message of salvation, hope, and love, often stemming from Jesus’s command in the Great Commission.”
“The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.” Proverbs 11:30
YOUR PRAYER: Holy Father, in Jesus’ name, unite my heart to fear Thy name. Do your work in and through my life. I am all Yours. Maximize the fruit produced to Your eternal glory. You must increase but I must decrease. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Abiding
Washed. Sanctified. Glorified. [podcast]
“Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.” John 13:8
Jesus’ true bride is known in that she is making herself ready for Him.
“Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. 8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.” Revelation 19:7-8
“This morning I read Psalm 45. Titled the Kings marriage. The story of the King and His bride. This is a beautiful picture of the marriage supper of the Lamb in Rev 19:7-9. The Bridegroom is adorned in glory, majesty, righteousness and truth. Sitting in His royal throne. Then enters the Bride. Holy, without spot or wrinkle. Wearing the righteousness of Christ. And Jesus says, you are in thy Father’s house and He desires thy beauty and worship. Wow! Because she is wearing the beauty of the Lord (Psalm 27:4). His attributes. And she is wearing gold. Fine gold because she has been tried in the fire of affliction. And she is one of the five wise virgins who is invited to enter into the King’s palace. What a glorious picture of all who make themselves ready and are clean and white before their King Jesus! Alleluia!” Karen Cochran
The person who repents, puts their faith in Jesus Christ, and is saved, and continues rooted in Christ, continuing/abiding in Him, will confess any sin committed and be perpetually transformed by Him (Proverbs 28:13; 2 Corinthians 7:1; 1 John 1:7, 9; 3:4-10).
Many have been misled. Jesus invented the term “FALL AWAY” (Luke 8:13). The Son of God does not lie. If falling away isn’t possible, why did Jesus say it is possible? Jesus is returning for those who are looking for Him by the way they live.
“Husbands, love your wives, even as 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
Only those hearing and obeying God’s Word are being washed by it.
“So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto THEM THAT LOOK FOR HIM shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.” Hebrews 9:28
“Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you: but ye are WASHED, but ye are SANCTIFIED, but ye are JUSTIFIED in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.” 1 Corinthians 6:9-11
The explanation below is modified from another source and notes the following:
“‘Washed, sanctified, and justified’ (often replacing glorified with justified) describes the comprehensive spiritual transformation of a believer in 1 Corinthians 6:11. It signifies being cleansed from sin, set apart for God’s purpose, and declared righteous through Christ, moving from a past life of disobedience to a new identity and a life of obedience to God (2 Corinthians 5:15).
- Washed: Refers to being cleansed of the defilement and stain of sin, often linked to baptism and the washing of regeneration by the Holy Spirit.
- Sanctified: Means being set apart to God for His holy purpose. It involves both a position of holiness in Christ and a progressive, lifelong process of becoming more like Him.
- Justified (Glorified/Righteous): Means being acquitted of all guilt and declared righteous before God on the basis of Christ’s finished work.
- Transformation: The Apostle Paul reminds the Corinthians that while they once lived in sin, their identity changed upon following Jesus.
- The Power Source: These changes are accomplished in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of God, not by personal merit.
- Living the New Life: This transformation signifies that believers are no longer defined by their past sins, but by their new, holy standing.”
Prayer: Jesus, I know You are going to return for a Bride that is without spot, wrinkle, or sin of any kind. Purify this life LORD Jesus which I now submit to You without reserve. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
