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

The Book of Jude Narrated [podcast]
The Book of Jude:
Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called: 2 mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.
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. 6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. 7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. 8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities. 9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
10 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves. 11 Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core. 12 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; 13 raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.
14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, 15 to execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him. 16 These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men’s persons in admiration because of advantage.
17 But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; 18 how that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. 19 These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit. 20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, 21 keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. 22 And of some have compassion, making a difference: 23 and others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, 25 to the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

The Song of Moses: God’s Favor upon His People [podcast]
“And Moses spake in the ears of all the congregation of Israel the words of this song, until they were ended.” Deuteronomy 31:30
Everything we read of the children of Israel was pointing to Christ and to His perfect salvation He would later come and accomplish and bestow upon His beloved people, the body of Christ which is “the Israel of God.” (Galatians 6:16) And so this song is written to us (Romans 15:4; Corinthians 10:11).
At the end of his days, at the end of the 5 books he penned, God gives us through Moses a summation of His salvation work among His beloved people.
“He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye. 11 As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings: 12 So the LORD alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him. 13 He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock; 14 Butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape.” Deuteronomy 32:10-14
“32:10-14 The birth and childhood of the nation of Israel are described in verse 10. After the Exodus from Egypt, God guided, instructed, and preserved His people with the love of a mother eagle (v. 11). There was no foreign god who had a part in Israel’s preservation. Why then should the nation turn to idolatry and ascribe the goodness of Jehovah to another? Beginning in verse 13, the song is prophetic. He brought them into the blessings of the Promised Land.” Believer’s Bible Commentary
“Deuteronomy 32:10
a [He found him in a desert land …] The sevenfold preservation of Israel:
1. God found (literally, sustained) him in the wilderness (Deu_32:10).
2. He led him around (Deu_32:10-12).
3. He instructed him (Deu_32:10).
4. He kept him as the apple (pupil) of His eye.
5. He preserved him from idolatry (Deu_32:12).
6. He exalted him among the nations (Deu_32:13).
7. He gave him material prosperity (Deu_32:13-14).
b [apple of his eye] Hebrew: ’iyshown (H380), the dark pupil of the eye; the hole, gate, or door of the eye (Psa_17:8; Pro_7:2)” Dake
“Deuteronomy 31:30-32:14
MOSES’ SONG: THE LORD’S FAVOR UPON ISRAEL
The song of Moses, like the fabled song of the swan, was his last and sweetest. It is probably the noblest ode in the whole compass of the Bible, and is the source from which subsequent singers derived suggestions for their noblest outbursts. The marginal references prove how deeply it dyed the national sentiment.
It excels in the names and designations of the Almighty. He is the Rock: Deu_31:4; Deu_31:15; Deu_31:18; Deu_31:30; Jehovah: Deu_31:6; Father: Deu_31:6; the Most High: Deu_31:8; God: El, the strong, Deu_31:15, etc. What a study are the names of God, scattered through the Bible! Each was coined to meet some need of the human soul. What the rocks of the desert are to its shifting sands God is amid the changes of this mortal existence.
This earlier part of the song is very tender. We are God’s portion; the apple of His eye; as young eaglets, whom the mother-bird is carefully teaching to fly, the favored recipients of God’s richest gifts, Deu_31:13, etc.” FB Meyer
Notice the descriptive language, the metaphors—how the LORD illustrates how He loves, protects, and provides for His people. In Scripture, the LORD uses imagery to communicate truth.
“Moses’ song and what our LORD reveals in this message, is such a beautiful picture of God finding us in our hopeless, miserable, and lost state. He pulls us out of the miry clay and gives us His supply of grace. He then clothes us with His righteousness, seating us in heavenly places in Christ and surrounding us with His care and protection. God’s love and goodness to us.” Karen Cochran
“He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High
shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will
say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my
God; in him will I trust. 3 Surely he shall deliver thee
from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome
pestilence. 4 He shall cover thee with his feathers,
and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall
be thy shield and buckler.” Psalms 91:1-4
Read Psalm 91 often so this truth permeates you. Here the LORD uses the imagery of His “winged fowl” creation (Genesis 1:21). GOD made this very creature/bird for the express purpose of showing us how much He loves us and how He comforts, cares and provides for, guides, and protects His own (Psalms 91:1).
“The Song of Moses is recorded in Deuteronomy 32 of the King James Version (KJV), spanning verses 1 through 43. It is a prophetic poem given by Moses to the children of Israel just before his death, serving as a witness and a reminder of God’s faithfulness and Israel’s potential turning away.”
Prayer: Father, please grant that I know and understand You more and more. I love You LORD. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Jesus in Every Book of the Bible
First and foremost, God’s Word was written to reveal Christ.
The Bible is said to be “The only Book where the divine Author is present every time you read it.”
He’s divinely encoded and present on every page of His Word.
“And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.” Luke 24:44
Every book of the Bible is about the LORD Jesus, who is the central theme, the sacred substance of all of Holy Scripture. If we miss Him, we miss everything, we miss the grand subject and revelation of God’s Word.
“Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. 40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.” John 5:39-40
This makes it clear that we can “search the scriptures,” we can know them, and yet not know the Author.
They knew the Word of God but did not know the God of the Word. They made the choice not to “come to” Jesus thorugh His Word. They made it about themselves, not Jesus.
The Bible is one Book from one divine Author. The divisions are there to help us navigator His Word. – Old and New Testaments, chapters, verses, etc.
“Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.” Psalms 119:18
The supreme and most important “wondrous” thing we are to behold in Holy Writ, is Jesus Christ.
Amen. Jesus Christ is King of all kings, LORD of all lords.
“Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. 8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.” Revelation 1:7-8
