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

WHEN PARENTS GET OLD …
author unknown
WHEN PARENTS GET OLD …
“Let them grow old with the same love that they let you grow … let them speak and tell repeated stories with the same patience and interest that they heard yours as a child … let them overcome, like so many times when they let you win … let them enjoy their friends just as they let you … let them enjoy the talks with their grandchildren, because they see you in them … let them enjoy living among the objects that have accompanied them for a long time, because they suffer when they feel that you tear pieces of this life away … let them be wrong, like so many times you have been wrong and they didn’t embarrass you by correcting you …
LET THEM LIVE and try to make them happy the last stretch of the path they have left to go; give them your hand, just like they gave you their hand when you started your path!
(“Honor your mother and father and your days shall be long upon the earth”.) – God”
“Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. 2 Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;) 3 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.” Ephesians 6:1-3
Karen Cochran writes:
“A few years ago the Lord spoke to me and I heard honor your Father and Mother. I didn’t know that my Mom would be moving close to me in a few months and I would become her primary helper. It has been one of the biggest challenges of my life because she has dementia and isn’t always kind. I have had to come home many nights and sit at the feet of Jesus and ask forgiveness because I was not like Jesus to her. Then I go back everyday because the Lord commands us to Honor our Mother. He didn’t promise it would be easy. I have to be like Jesus and say Father forgive them for they know not what they do. Luke 23: 34 .As people who have dementia do not know what they are doing or saying.”
Sharing how God is working in her life concerning her relationship with her beloved mother, Karen Cochran writes:
“I had to die to being right. Pride! How could I love her (my mother) with the love of Jesus? How would she see Jesus in me? She would not see Him in me in all my pride and arrogance! By being full of pride, all I did was stir up strife. Proverbs 10:12 ‘Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins.’ Because she would retaliate and would be angry. I had to learn to keep my mouth shut. And it has completely changed our relationship. But first the Lord had to change me and cleanse me from my ‘know it all’ attitude and my pride. I went to the Lord and said ‘why is she (my mother) so mean to me’. The Lord straightened me out quick. It was me not her! I couldn’t control her! All I could do was allow God to root out what was sin in me.”
“Being broken to the core has been a continuous prayer for me. Otherwise my stone heart will hurt someone else that does not deserve to be hurt. Jesus had shown me my resentment against my parents. As I went to their grave, Jesus begin to say, ‘If they hadn’t taken you to Jesus at an early age, you wouldn’t be where you are now.’ I felt all the bitterness, anger, and hatred leave. How gracious is our Savior!” Thomas Cochran

Gospel Action in Mexico Part 37
UPDATE – DELIVERED FOOD TODAY; – I purchased numerous food items for Clara and her boys today. Traversing difficult terrain to deliver the goods God supplied through your faithful giving left me with a sidewall puncture. A sidewall puncture cannot be patched and replacement was quoted at $274. Settled for a used tire. In this challenge came opportunity.
God used the punctured tire for me to meet a wayward man. Jose has spent time in the USA and has family there. His wife is presently in Colorado; he expressed strain on his family. Jose received God’s Word preached to him and the JESUS tract and said “You know what? My wife is also a Christian.” Wow. So, his beloved wife is praying for him to be saved and God answered her prayer in part by connecting me with him. This opportunity is because of your support for this ministry. Can we please pray for Jose and his family?
I am continuing to learn to assert Romans 8:28-29 into everything:
28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to [his] purpose. 29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate [to be] conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
Can anyone relate?
Mark is encouraging me in helping more people, one person/family at a time. Your prayers and giving are more than important, it is essential.
I found out Clara was in need again and was moved upon by the LORD to get her and her 3 sons some food. Her whole monthly money needed to sustain her, and her boys is about $350. The house she rents is $120 per month. I will leave it there.
It is amazing how much further our contributions go in Mexico, how much more it’s multiplied. A little bit of money and ministry here goes a long way to bless and expand Christ’s kingdom! …and to give hope to the hopeless.
We continue to pray for a few more saints to assert themselves into this opportunity. God is able, amen! All I can do is let these things be known. I am blessed by your support as I am encouraged by the fruitfulness of Mission Mexico both in the reach of the spiritual needs and the physical needs of God’s children. You are responding to Jesus’ instructions in Matthew 6:19-21
19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Clara’s Cry Video was featured recently. Click here.
Please lift a prayer in Jesus’ name for the fruitfulness and supply of our LORD’s work here with Mission Mexico. God be praised. Multitudes being reached daily with Jesus Christ’s bless-ed Gospel – spoken to them and given in print in the JESUS tract in Spanish.
BELOVED ANTONIO came by again tonight to get something to eat. I warmly received and welcomed him. Had him sit down and rest with fresh water to drink while his delicious meal was cooking. When he left I broke down while hugging him and letting him know you are lifting him in prayer and that God loves him. I played the Spanish Bible audio of Scripture to him while I was cooking so the Word would be planted in his heart…. WHO wants to cry out with me to our LORD for this young man? WHO wants to seek God for a complete change in his precious life? Salvation and good employment/work, etc. Let it not be that he could ever say that “No man cared for my soul.” – “I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul” (Psalms 142:4). Jesus is coming saints. Let us pour out His love to the hurting. Jesus Christ died for this beloved young man! Mission Mexico is rolling! “WE are labourers TOGETHER with God” (1 Corinthians 3:9). This is what it’s all about dear saints. Jump in. God will bless.
“The LORD upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all those that be bowed down.” Psalms 145:14
Beloved brother in Christ, Cesar, spent the last 14 days with his beloved mother before she passed. Mark and I went to visit Cesar the day after his mother passed. Mark and I agreed that Cesar was ministering to us. We went to comfort him and he ministered to us! Whew! You are invited to lift our beloved brother Cesar in prayer.
Oh and Cesar took about 50-60 JESUS tracts to distribute.
The plans are to be spending more time fellowshipping with Cesar again soon.
Months ago, I handed Cesar a JESUS tract and we begin to talk and he shared that he is a born again disciple of Jesus. Yesterday, with tears in his eyes, Cesar shared his testimony of Jesus’ salvation of his life 24 years ago. This is a beloved brother in our LORD Jesus for certain. Unpretentious.
As is so often the case, we gave this man a JESUS tract and spoke the Word to him. A few moments later here he is hungrily reading about His Maker and King, and Savior Jesus.
Saints we are supporting a missionary in the Philippines and am thanking the LORD for your prayers and supply to our LORD’s Gospel work …..
Anyone wish to pause and lift this man to our LORD in prayer? When ministered to, Victor asked questions. He is searching. God is able.
Thank you for praying for the beautiful people of this country. More Mission Mexico coverage here.
Remember brother Justin (from Australia) whom God miraculously saved here in Mexico? He is very grateful that you are lifting him in prayer. Praying for Christ’s saints is an essential (Colossians 4:12). Today Justin sent this:
“I was reading the book of Jo
hn and the woman at the well last night, contemplating how some plant seeds to be harvested by others (John 4). Just being grateful to serve the Lord without needing to see results. Bless you. You certainty planted some seeds with me. I’ll check out Titus! Thank you brother. I am working out my salvation with fear and trembling, for sure, and I wouldn’t be doing it so much harder now without your support.” Justin B.
UPDATE ON BROTHER JUSTIN B.
Thank you for lifting in prayer our brother Justin B. (Australian) here in Mexico. He was saved just a few months ago here. Here’s the latest from our brother. Please pray the Word for him. John 15; Colossians 4:12.
“I am good, brother. I am back in the slipstream of the Word. Felt like I had to experience the desert of doubt to come out with more clarity. Though, ultimately, trust in God is not necessarily clear. Getting confident in God with that ‘cloud of unknowing.’
“Daily brother. It’s my clarion call/prayer now. Diminish me but increase my faith. Purify my heart, Lord, so I may glorify Your name. Thank you for showing me the way and keeping faith in me, brother.” Justin B.
Do we recall how Jesus told Peter: “And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: 32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren” (Luke 22:31-32).
Here’s the post where the account of Jesus saving Justin is contained.
This is beloved David (pictured above) who received extensive ministry of God’s love and Word. Please lift up David, Daniel, and Justin. Colossians 4:12.
Omar was invited to have you pray for him. He readily agreed and is glad to know you are lifting him to our LORD in prayer. Jesus told us He desires to save Omar (1 Timothy 2:4).
“My Dear Brother, I will continue to lift Clara and those precious children in prayer; for I know firsthand the hardship of raising 3 little ones alone in this selfish world. I am thankful to the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY for sending strangers into my life during my time of despair and brokenness. Thank you brother for being a good steward with the gifts that the people of God send into the Lord’s Ministry. May the Lord God bless and keep you all the days of your life.” Jacquie
