The Fear of the LORD is to Hate Evil: Pride, and Arrogancy #shorts [video]

John the Baptist “was a burning and a shining light.”

“He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.” John 5:35

Occupy till I come. What are you trading to prepare for the Kingdom of God?

This beloved forerunner of Christ never stopped serving the LORD. Yet many today who were once filled with the Holy Spirit and zeal of Christ today are waxing cold, just as Jesus foretold.

“And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world (with or without you!) for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” Matthew 24:10-14

All around us we see those who once walked with Christ and were a voice for Him departing to another mission. One of those diversions is saving America instead of saving and preserving souls for the eternal kingdom of Christ. Some have left the preaching of the Gospel. Christ warns us repeatedly of the need to “endure to the end” in an abiding relationship with Him (Matthew 10:22; 24:13; John 15:6, etc.).

The Gospel in action in our lives is born out of a oneness, an abiding relationship with Christ and the Father (John 15, 17).

“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:” 1 Peter 5:8

Doing Business for God

“Occupy till I come” is a call to build and expand Christ’s kingdom with all the resources and talents God has given to us!

Repentance is always the starting place (Hosea 10:12, etc.). Repentance precedes refreshment from Heaven (Acts 3:19).

“And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it.” Colossians 4:17

The LORD has called you to fulfil His calling on your life. You are fully responsible.

The true Heaven bound disciple is doing GOD’s business and not his own. He’s using everything God has given him for the LORD’s glory. Jesus said “I must be about my Father’s business” and so if you are truly following Jesus, you are about the Father’s business and not your own! (Luke 2:49)

In this parable, Jesus is speaking of the stewardship of our lives and resources He’s given us in this brief life and how they will have an eternal impact on each of us – for eternal blessing or embitterment. Here’s how Jesus begins and ends His parabolic teaching of the “ten servants”:

“And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.” … “But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.” Luke 19:13, 27

In other words Jesus is saying: “I am your Master. Do My kingdom business, the Father’s business, until I return and you will be blessed. Yet if you do not allow Me to reign over your life on this earth, you will be destroyed and not with Me eternally.”

Those who do not “occupy” till Jesus comes will be counted as His “enemies” and slain.

This is yet another place in Scripture, of many, where final salvation is taught and the need to “endure to the end” to be “saved” into eternal glory (Matthew 10:22; 24:13, etc.).

ARE YOU fulfilling Christ’s Great Commission command or will you be found to be an “unprofitable servant”?

“And cast ye the UNPROFITABLE SERVANT into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” Matthew 25:30

You’ve Been Given Marching Orders

No matter what – follow Jesus. What did Jesus say of those who begin and don’t finish?

“And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. 60 Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God. 61 And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house. 62 And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.” Luke 9:59-62

Remember that no matter what’s going on in this fleeting world, the LORD holds His own responsible to teach and preach His Word – which He specifically sent us to do (Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15).

“Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.” Philippians 2:16

“Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.” 2 Timothy 4:2

Always “preach the word” and never delay – never put it off for any current event…

“Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work. 35 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest. 36 And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together. 37 And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth. 38 I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.” John 4:34-38

Jesus is saying here that those who are and will remain with Him must never put off His work for any other occupation. – “Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.” (v35) And Jesus communicates: “When you put off My work, the mission I sent you on, you’ve put me off.”

“Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. 5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.” Revelation 2:4-5

At this very moment, hell is full of people who were once saved while on earth and then left Jesus. They neglected their fellowship with the Savior and fell away (Matthew 25:1-13; Luke 8:13; 1 Timothy 4:1-2; 2 Peter 2:20-21, etc.).

Have you lost your anointed effect on others? Has the salt you once had lost its Savour, its flavor, its punch? This can only happen if the disciple neglects His relationship with the LORD.

“Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.” Matthew 5:13

“Our holy lives ought to act as salt to arrest the corruption around us. It is said that the presence of a child has arrested many a crime. A sudden silence should fall on certain kinds of conversation when we enter the room. But it is very easy to lose our saltness, as did Lot in Sodom and the seven churches of Asia. Our lives ought to serve also as light.” FB Meyer

Is there seasoning on your offering as a “living sacrifice”? (Romans 12:1)

Does your life have “savour”? If not, it can! When the LORD sprinkles you where He wishes in this world, is there divine flavor and strength, pungency, is there Heaven’s power to bless, to bring His love, His truth, His salvation, His deliverance? His stated desire is to make you a “a vessel unto honour.” Are you prepared? Are you preparing?

“If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.” 2 Timothy 2:21

PUN’GENCY, noun [Latin pungens, pungo, to prick.]

1. The power of pricking or piercing; as the pungency of a substance.

2. That quality of a substance which produces the sensation of pricking, or affecting the taste like minute sharp points; sharpness; acridness.

3. Power to pierce the mind or excite keen reflections or remorse; as the pungency of a discourse.

Food without seasoning is bland, boring, tasteless. Do you sprinkle salt, pepper, Tony Chachere’s, Tabasco, or any other good seasoning on your food? Of course you do, right? Would you bother if that seasoning you like became bland, tasteless? Think about this in light of our Master in Heaven: If your salt has no more tastiness, if your life is not anchored in Christ, do you think He’s still going to use you since you have no more heavenly effect on others due to Him no longer being your “first love”? No. See Revelation 2:4-5. The Master would have you restored to Himself first and foremost by way of true repentance.

“…if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.” Matthew 5:13

The disciple who become like salt that has lost it’s flavor, has become lifeless, lukewarm and drab, will fall and be “trodden under foot of men.”

Does God sprinkle the salt of His truth on the world through His saints? – Yes but only if their salt has strong seasoning – only if they are abiding intimate with the Savior!

What Did Jesus Mean by “Have salt in yourselves”? Salt gives life to food. Salt is a curing and preserving agent, substance.

“Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another.” Mark 9:50

“Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned?” Luke 14:34

Jesus was speaking of remaining full of His life, His truth, His grace, and therefore making an impact on those around us. Un-salty, unfavored salt is useless for the user, the Master.

Use it or lose it.

Jesus continues…. it’s only when one of His own is truly worshipping Him in sprit and in truth that the divine light is shining into and out from that vessel.

“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 5:16

God’s light shines in and through us as we ingest His Word which is the divine light that lights and leads us!

Those who get out of the Word, get off track:

“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” Psalms 119:105

All who aren’t in God’s Word daily, are backslidden. Return to Christ.

You have to be full of Christ’s light for that light to shine out from your vessel, your life in this dark world.

Today is our day to get full and stay full!

“Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.” Matthew 5:6

The light of Christ only fills those who “hunger and thirst” after His righteousness, filling their hearts with His Word, His light! Is God’s Word making a daily “entrance” into your heart?

“The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.” Psalms 119:130

The darkness must be vanquished from our hearts daily via diligent study of God’s Word which “giveth light” to our hearts and scatters all darkness!

Is your lamp full today beloved? Are your hands and is your heart lifted in worship to your God today? Are you a wise virgin or a foolish virgin? Will you be full and flourish or will you be empty and perish? (Matthew 25:1-13)

Might this moment be the time that you dip your cup afresh into His divine well of salvation, to be refreshed, refilled, and overflowing? (Isaiah 12:3)

“Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.” Isaiah 12:3

PRAYER: Heavenly Father, I come to You now in the name of Jesus Christ. Please break me and bring this heart to contrition before You. Please forgive my sins of self-idolatry and self-reliance. LORD, I ask You to unite my heart to fear Thy name. I have not trusted You fully and ask You to forgive this sin and restore my life to full strength in Your Spirit now. Please use me to feed Your bless-ed sheep and to help others know You. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

7 Ways to Forgive [podcast]

PRAY

“But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;” Matthew 5:44

LOVE AND DO GOOD TO THE OFFENDER

“Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.” Romans 12:9

REFUSE TO SPEAK EVIL OF THE OFFENDER

“Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.” Romans 12:14

RELEASE THEM FROM YOUR PUNISHMENT

“Recompense (repay) to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. 18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. 19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.” Romans 12:17-19

DON’T CELEBRATE THEIR FAILURES

“Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth: 18 Lest the LORD see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.” Proverbs 24:17-18

TREAT THEM THE WAY YOU WANT TO BE TREATED

“And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.” Luke 6:31

STOP DWELLING ON THE PAST

“Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.” Isaiah 43:18

The blessedness of being merciful to others:

“Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.” Matthew 5:7

The only way to prevent holding a grudge, is to simply forgive them – as God freely forgave you through the infinite price Christ paid for your sins on the cross, of which you don’t deserve (Psalms 103:10).

“Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. 8 Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. 9 Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door.” James 5:7-9

“And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. 31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: 32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.” Ephesians 4:30-32

Being kind and forgiving towards others becomes simple as we look in the mirror and declare with Paul the apostle: “For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing.” (Romans 7:18)

“He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.” Psalms 103:10

Forgiveness becomes easy when we look in the mirror to see the person (us, me) who needs God’s mercy more than any other person alive on the earth! Memorize Ephesians 4:32 now. KJB

“For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.” James 1:20

“Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; 13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. 14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.” Colossians 3:12-14

Forgiveness Quotes

Forgiveness is ultra important to God. If you don’t forgive all others, you are not forgiven of your own sin and are as sure for hell as if you were already there. If you refuse to forgive you damn your own soul, non-negotiably. irrevocably.

“Forgiveness does not mean what happened is okay. It means not letting what happened take any more of your happiness.” Michelle Maros

“There is no love without forgiveness, and there is no forgiveness without love.” Bryant McGill

“Love is an act of endless forgiveness. Forgiveness is me giving up my right to hurt you for hurting me. Forgiveness is the final act of love.” Reinhold Niebuhr

“Holding a grudge doesn’t make you strong; it makes you bitter. Forgiving doesn’t make you weak; it sets you free.” unknown

Christ’s Non-Negotiable Original Gospel Imperative [podcast]

“He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.” Matthew 12:30

It’s one thing to claim we are with Christ and He with us, and it’s another thing to prove we are with the Savior by adhering to His words. Jesus told us that those who are “of God” hear and obey His words (John 8:47).

If one chooses not to love Jesus enough to obey His stated terms, such a man has rejected the Son of God for the love of sinful self and will perish in his own corruption (Matthew 22:37-40; Luke 9:23-24; 14:33; 17:33; John 14:15; 1 John 2:3-6, etc.).

“Repentance is to TAKE SIDES with God against yourself. It is a CHANGE of attitude toward SELF, toward SIN, toward GOD, toward CHRIST that is so REAL that it RESULTS in a changed life. It is raising the WHITE FLAG in SURRENDER to God and turning to Christ as your only LORD and Savior. Repentance is NOT a work … works are the fruit of repentance (Ephesians 2:8-10).” Trent Austin

Only the counterfeit will get upset at this Gospel message because such a rebel wants nothing to do with taking personal responsibility for his sin, the denial of self, the crucified life to be set apart, holy, and having the Savior reign!

Notice how Jesus knits the denial of self, the daily cross, the putting off the deeds of the body, of keeping under the body (the iniquitous fallen nature) with the destiny of the eternal soul.

“And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. 24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. 25 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?” Luke 9:23-25

Jesus made it clear here that the cross is an original Gospel essential, an absolute imperative to eternal glory with Him!

Each of us proves exactly who we love the most by the way we are living! – God or self!

Everything that is happening in your life now is being allowed by God in order to get you down low into the death and burial with Christ. Read 2 Corinthians 4.

“But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. 8 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; 10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 11 For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. 12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you.” 2 Corinthians 4:7-12

What Did Paul Mean by "I Keep Under My Body"? [podcast]

In spite of all the evil that is me, dear LORD You have been so gracious (Genesis 6:5, 12; Jeremiah 17:9; Romans 7; Titus 3:5-7). Thank You Jesus. Please bless this life to be crucified with Thee! If OSAS/eternal security is true, WHY did Paul say he himself that he could be “castaway” from God in the end if he didn’t endure to the end, perpetually keep under his body (the cross life)? “But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a […]

What is our Highest Priority as we see Christ’s Return Nearing? [podcast]

What’s most important?

How do we want Christ to find us when He splits the eastern sky?

“And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.” Luke 9:62

“Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.” Hebrews 10:38

“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.” 1 Corinthians 15:58

“And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s business?” Luke 2:49

“And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” Matthew 24:14

“Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest. 36 And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together. 37 And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth. 38 I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.” John 4:35-38

In light of the end time events transpiring before our eyes we are keeping our:

Eyes to Jesus (Luke 21:28; Colossians 3:1-4; Hebrews 12:1-3).
Hand to the plough of His work (Luke 9:62).

“…Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. 13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.” Philippians 2:12-13

“All we can do is not look left or right but keep our eyes on Jesus. He’s coming soon! This is becoming a time when people’s hearts will fail them for fear! Luke 21:26. Because our world is definitely being shaken. Our foundation needs to be built on Christ, not sinking sand (Matthew 7:24-27). Or we will fall. Building our house means not just hearing God’s Word but obeying Him. Build your life on the Word of God! Then when these things come to pass you will not fall.” Karen Cochran

“The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.” Revelation 11:15

Here’s one of the responses given to this man in that conversation:

“Nothing of this offends me. Just iron sharpening iron concerning sound doctrine (Titus 2:1). ‘But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine’ (Titus 2:1). 2 Peter 1:3-4 informs us that ‘ALL things that pertain unto life and godliness’ are found in God’s Word, in His ‘exceeding great and precious promises.’ Why then do we resort to using extra biblical symbolism, especially that which is out of a known pagan, blasphemous religion? Certainly the Holy Spirit is not behind such. If we are truly in Christ’s service, we should use Christ’s Word and not something contrary to it (Colossians 3:16; 2 Timothy 3:15-17). Do we not mislead when we do such?

There is no such thing as a Christian psychologist. Such must be denounced, and will be, unless we are still walking in the flesh and not the Spirit. Jesus taught against using titles (Matthew 23:8-12). Nothing Christian about Psychology. Title Touters safeguardyoursoul.com

Paul denounced….

“For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh. 4 Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more: 5 circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee; 6concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless. 7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. 8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, 9 and be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: 10 that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; 11 if by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.” Philippians 3:3-11

Salvation, ministry, is all about Jesus Christ, not us.

“That no flesh should glory in his presence. 30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: 31 That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.” 1 Corinthians 1:29-31

“And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. 2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. 3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. 4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: 5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.” 1 Corinthians 2:1-5

Asking the LORD to strip you and build you from the ground up – HIS way and no other. Ask Him to remove every trace, every iota of flesh, of deceit, of evil (2 Corinthians 7:1).

“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

“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 10:12
