OSAS/Eternal Security and the Deceived Who Defend It
Beware of this Garden Variety Lie and Satan’s Agents Who Defend It
Who’s Behind this OSAS Lie?
God Says:
“But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof (sin) thou shalt surely die.” Genesis 2:17
Satan Says:
“And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall NOT surely die:” Genesis 3:4
The “Ye shall NOT surely die” lie is the message of the enemy of all souls to every generation. Millions have bought it and are now and forever will be in hell and the lake of fire for rebelling against God. The “Ye shall NOT surely die” lie simply means that “you have no personal responsibility to obey the LORD and there will be no consequence for disobeying Him.”
“Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption (eternal destruction); but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.” Galatians 6:7-8
Adam and Eve, the first man and woman, were ejected from God’s presence upon sinning against Him. The human race had fallen and was corrupted and sinful (Genesis 3; 6:5, 12; Romans 1-3, etc.).
“Once saved always saved” (OSAS) is the lie Satan told the first man and women and it is the very one which led to their fall from saving grace. He told them that they would “not surely die” or suffer separation from God if they sinned against Him. Satan has thousands of agents who stand behind pulpits every week, telling those gullible listeners that they are eternally secure while refusing to speak of the necessity of obeying Christ in daily denying self, taking up the cross, and following Jesus (Luke 9:23-24). While many revel in Christ’s “goodness” – His righteousness and gift of everlasting life – a miniscule number of leaders speak about the “severity of God” as Paul put it. The LORD has instructed us to “behold” (look closely at) both His “goodness” and “severity” and He was referring to how He harshly judged His own covenant people who did not fear Him (Numbers 16). He promises to do the same to all those whom He has saved under the New Covenant who do not fear Him and His “severity.”
“Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: 21 For if God spared not the natural branches (Jews), take heed lest he also spare not thee (Gentile Christians). 22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.” Romans 11:20-22
There seems to be a gross lack attention given to the “severity of God.” In the absence of “severity” or judgment preaching, many leaders are leading their listeners to believe they have no personal responsibility to truly follow Christ. They are being led to believe and/or told that they are eternally secure, no matter what they do after Jesus saves them. All true Bible believers know that such is not true. The false idea that Christians have no responsibility to obey God and will suffer no consequence (judgment) for not doing His will.
God is holy and this is why the great apostle continually warned His people of divine judgment coming on all who die in sin. Here’s an sampling:
“Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men.” 2 Corinthians 5:11
In the modern gospel (another gospel), the biblical concept that God is holy may be mentioned occasionally in theory, but it never translates into the personal life of those who have believed upon Him who is “Holy, holy, holy.” (Isaiah 6:3; Revelation 4:8) Yet, His Word warns those who are His that without personal holiness “NO MAN shall see the Lord.” (Hebrews 12:14)
“Ye shall NOT surely die” is Satan’s lie and anyone teaching this heresy, whether they know it or not, is teaching the lie of the serpent, Satan. The Bible calls them “ungodly men” who have “crept in unawares” or undetected and are “turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness”, which is a license for sin. By teaching this contrary heresy, these men are “denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.”
“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.” Jude 3-4
Here, we are told to “earnestly contend” against these liars and the serpent’s lie they are peddling. Beloved saints, this most critical issue is black and white. Those who teach Satan’s “ye shall NOT surely die” lie identify themselves as his agents and enemies of the Most High God. Paul the apostle informs us that Satan’s “ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness” (2 Corinthians 11:12-15) While posing as Christ’s representatives, they misrepresent Christ by teaching contrary to what He taught. Those who teach any form of this unconditional eternal security lie do just that. If OSAS were something Jesus wanted to convey to us, why didn’t He? Did He forget to tell His people something He wanted them to know or something they needed to know? Did the Alpha and the Omega, the God and Creator and Sustainer of all that is somehow have a lapse of memory, or are these wolves perpetrating another gospel on their audiences? True Bible believers know such would clearly contradict what the Son of God taught about the necessity of enduring to the end or being lost.
WHAT Is Really Behind those who Defend this Satanic Lie?
It’s obvious to the truth-seeker that the OSAS adherents and calvinists begin with the end in mind. The Word of God means nothing to them other than to try to use it to peddle their fairytale wares. These cross-rejecting moral cowards refuse to take God at His Word. They are of the same evil, “seducing spirit” as were the false leaders (pharisees) of Christ’s day who set aside God’s Word and let their false tradition take precedence (Mark 7:6-9; 1 Timothy 4:1). This makes them false and unsaved according to Jesus who stated “He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.” (John 8:47). Christ makes it more than obvious here that those who are saved – “of God” – put HIS Word as highest authority. Those who don’t identify themselves as being “NOT of God.”
“Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. 8 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. 9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment (written Word) of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.” Mark 7:6-9
Those who spread and defend this serpentine doctrinal cancer are leading souls to deception, falling away, and damnation (as it did in the Garden). They are not teaching, arguing for, and defending such a lie due to it being in the Bible, but rather because they do not want to come out of their mythical fairytale. This tragic tradition has entrenched them in a state of lukewarmness and deception and they can’t see it because God Himself has turned them over to this lie (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12). They are intoxicated by the lure, lucrativity, and appealing nature of this lie and do not wish to be roused or woken from this dreamy state. They do not wish to stop the flow of funds and acceptance from the many who want their ears to continue to be tickled with a no-personal-responsibility false gospel.
The leaders that teach this heresy do so to continue in an un-biblical tradition that we are commanded to beware of (Colossians 2:8). This false teaching is clearly “not after Christ,” because Jesus taught that those saved must “endure to the end” or they will not be saved (Matthew 10:22; 24:13). This lie is an ear tickling money maker and very lucrative lie.
OSAS: WHY do so many violently defend this false teaching? – It’s simple: They are fighting for their life. Think about that statement – They are fighting for THEIR life. That is, they are fighting to reserve the right to run their own life – to reign as king over their own life, in lieu of Christ reigning in their personal life. They do not want to die to self as Jesus requires. All they want is their “ticket” to Heaven but don’t want to be bothered with knowing Him which would mean setting themselves aside. Make no mistake about this truth. This is a brazen, open denial of Jesus Christ and it will result in the eternal damnation of millions of souls.
**OSAS is never taught in Holy Scripture. Rather, it’s the invention of Satan himself and perpetrated by Christ-denying, willingly deceived men who want salvation and also the freedom to live outside of the true, Lordship of Christ. They are using Jesus to get what they want out of Him which is the definition of taking His holy name in vain. They want the heavenly crown while refusing the daily cross Jesus commanded.
Didn’t Jesus teach that in order to gain one’s life eternally, that individual must lose his life? Was the Son of God just kidding?
“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.” John 12:24-25
Jesus is saying to you that you must lose your life. Losing your life in this world is an essential according to the only One who can save you. This must mean that true, saving faith in Christ, without fail, brings a life that is lost in Christ and not spent serving self. Those who do not want to lose their lives in oneness with Christ, flock to hear ear-tickling, soul-damning wolves who hold leadership positions and write books in today’s apostate modern church world.
“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves … lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power (the authority of Christ in their personal lives) thereof: from such turn away. … For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.” 2 Timothy 3:1-7; 4:3-4
The love of self is clearly at the root of those who teach and defend this grace-perverting heresy of “once saved always saved” (OSAS).
Saving faith involves losing one’s life in this fleeting, sinful, fallen world. Those who love this world are the very enemies of God and will not inherit His eternal kingdom (James 4:4; 1 John 2:15). God’s Word – the whole counsel of it – defines exactly what God requires. The problem is, that so many who claim to be saved, do not love Christ enough to diligently study His written Word to find out what He says (John 8:31-32, 47; 2 Timothy 2:15).
NO, you cannot go to God’s holy Heaven your own way.
NO, you cannot and will not go to God’s holy Heaven any other way than that which He alone prescribes in His Word.
NO, you cannot work your way to Heaven.
NO, you cannot be good enough to know the LORD and go to Heaven (Isaiah 64:6; Romans 3:23; 6:23; Philippians 3:9-10, etc.).
NO, you do not merit God’s righteousness.
So many who while claiming to be serving Christ, are actually serving their own “best” interest and revel in John 3:16, while refusing to explore and learn the rest of what Christ said. They therefore have an impartial and erroneous view of what saving faith really is. They are quick to quote John 3:16 and the “justified by faith” verses in Romans. Those are truth and yet, if presented by themselves, they can paint an erroneous picture of God’s intentions for His people. That being said, let’s look at what Jesus says elsewhere, words that are as equally divinely inspired as John 3:16.
“But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.” Luke 19:27
So what did Jesus say in these words above? Read His words again and carefully please.
The following in an excerpt from the book Lie of the Ages:
“Consider the words of the LORD when asked if there are few who will be saved:
“Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them, Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are: Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets. But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.” Luke 13:23-28
When asked “are there few that be saved?” Jesus answered “Strive (agonize) to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.” It seems clear from these words that many who believe they are going to Heaven will not be permitted to enter. When they in shock “begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets” the LORD will answer “I know you not whence (where) ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.”
Apparently, these are people who ate and drank in God’s presence which dwells among His people. They communed and partook of Him and yet died outside of a relationship with Him due to not continuing to agonize or strive to enter into His eternal presence (and so they fell away). This should be considered alongside the many Scriptures where Christ warns us to “watch and pray lest ye enter into temptation.” (Matt. 26:41; Lk. 21:34-36) He warns that we will enter into temptation if we do not vigilantly and diligently watch and pray. The neglect of our relational fellowship with the LORD can be eternally fatal. See Luke 21:34-36.
Saints of the LORD, there is not one promise to be found in Holy Scripture assuring the salvation of any person who is not currently living in communion and obedience to Christ. Only those who love their darkness rather than light are teaching this, Satan’s first lie. They are counterfeits who refuse to truly repent, to lay down their life in this sinful world, and to obey Jesus Christ by denying self/sin, taking up the cross daily, living the crucified life (John 3:19-21; Philippians 3:18-19).
“All their wickedness is in Gilgal: for there I hated them: for the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of mine house, I will love them no more: all their princes are revolters. Ephraim (God’s covenant people) is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yea, though they bring forth, yet will I slay even the beloved fruit of their womb. My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken unto him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations.” Hosea 9:15-17
Either Christ is reigning supreme in our daily lives, are we are counterfeits. Eternal security heretics are allergic to personal responsibility, to obedience – because they love their darkness rather than light because their deeds are evil (John 3:19-21).
Unlike the prophets and apostles of our LORD, so many leaders today want people to feel comfortable, even if it is in their own sin and at the expense of their own eternal souls. These men serve themselves and not Christ and therefore they do not issue forth His clear truth and warning of judgment to come upon all who do not obey Him – regardless of any past relationship (2 Cor. 5:11; Phil. 3:17-21). Deceivers who hold positions in the church world do not want to suffer the persecution associated with preaching the original Gospel, so they carefully select Holy Scripture passages out of context so that they do not offend their hearers. Such a deceitful presentation of God’s Word is completely foreign from the Holy Spirit anointed ministries of Christ, John the Baptist, and the original apostles of our LORD.
Everything in God’s kingdom economy works through His divine mercy, grace and man’s faith and obedience. When coupled or enjoined with a man’s unwavering faith, God’s grace makes all things possible (Mk. 10:27).” Excerpt from Lie of the Ages, p. 457 Lie of the Ages
The bottom line, tragically, is that many of those who embrace the OSAS lifestyle lie, are simply lazy, moral cowards who refuse to take personal responsibility to put the LORD who bled first in their personal lives (Luke 21:34-36). They do not want the rest of what Jesus said and have fallen away. They are the foolish virgins in Jesus’ parable who have run out of oil due to neglecting Christ as first and supreme priority – “first love.” (Matthew 25:1-13). They are those deceived, miserable, “lukewarm” and “at ease in Zion” apostates who are deluded into thinking they are going to the King’s Heaven while they deny Him the reign of their personal, daily lives (Amos 6:1; Revelation 3:15-16). They adore the wolves who have taught them that “Christianity” equals being a good, faithful church-going, church member. Yet the Son of God told us that if we are not daily denying self, taking up the cross, and following Him, we are not His (Matthew 16:24-26; Mark 8:34-38; Luke 9:23-24, etc.).
“Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. 18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. 20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?” James 2:17-20
In the divine economy, an honest heart is indispensable and essential. This passage cannot be ignored. This truth must be synthesized with the whole message of God’s Word. If it’s ignored and set aside and treated as if it’s not important or conflicts with other Scriptures, error will occur without exception. All of this points to the absolutely critical necessity of having an “honest” and sincere heart. Jesus told us that there are four types of hearts/ souls His Word falls upon and the only good one is the one that out of “an honest and good heart, having heard the word (the whole matter), keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.“ (Luke 8:12-15)
Honest.
Yes, honest!
Being “honest” would include refusing to ignore any part of God’s Word and refusing to draw a conclusion on any truth before studying the whole of what the Holy Scriptures say on that topic.
Why?
“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.” 2 Timothy 3:16
So, according to the FULL counsel of God’s truth, not a bit of which can be ignored, what is saving faith? The Bible makes it clear that there is a belief or faith that will not save and so we must apprehend what true, saving faith is, lest we be among the “many” who will hear “depart from me.” (Matthew 7:21-23)
The Greek word for “faith” is pistis and it simply means to trust in, cling to, and rely upon Christ. Those who cling to, trust in, and truly rely upon Christ, love, worship, and obey Christ as the very Ruler, the very LORD of their personal lives. He is the very supreme priority of their lives, their “first love.” (Revelation 2:4-5) They live to please Him alone, saying with Him,” not my will, but thine, be done” and “Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit.” (Luke 22:42; 23:46)
Concerning faith as God’s Word defines it, Brian Stokes writes:
“The FAITH that SAVES (James 2:19-24). Faith (pistis) and belief (pisteuo) are rooted in obedience (peitho) and is everything that embodies the ‘will of God’ (Matt. 7:21-24). Biblical faith is more than intellectual belief. It is the reaction of ones whole being: Mind, heart and soul….”
– FAITH PROPERLY DEFINED: Faith is everything that embodies the ‘will of God’ (Matt. 7:21-24, Heb. 10:36, Rom. 12:1-2)
~ Belief is faith trusting (Mark 16:16)
~ Confession is faith speaking (Acts 8:35-37)
~ Repentance is faith turning (Acts 2:38)
~ Baptism is faith obeying (Acts 10:48)
~ Discipleship is faith following (John 6:56-66)
If any of these elements are missing then it is a worldly demonic faith that cannot save (2Cor. 7:10, James 2:19-24). The faith that saves is one rooted in obedience that produces FAITHFULNESS (Acts 5:32, Heb. 5:9, 1 Peter 1:22, Heb. 11:8, Romans 1:5 and 16:26) <——–<< IMPORTANT. PLEASE READ.”
We must conclude, after reading more than what Christ stated in John 3:16, that saving faith includes the full and heartfelt involvement of the recipient of His salvation. Saving faith begins at one point and yet, God requires an ongoing faith – to the end of one’s life – or all is lost. Salvation is a relationship with Jesus Christ and not a one-time, get-out-of-hell-free event. It’s an ongoing experience with Christ and relationship (John 17:3; Philippians 3:9-14). That would include loving God with all of one’s heart, soul, mind, and strength (Matthew 22:37-40). That would include the spirit, soul, and body of the individual (1 Thessalonians 5:23).
No true born again, honest-hearted, Bible studying, truth-embracing disciple of Christ could possibly believe in an “at ease in Zion,” “lukewarm,” “once saved always saved” gospel because that’s a false gospel and those who teach it are “accursed” for teaching another gospel (Amos 6:1; Revelation 3:15-16; Galatians 1:6-9). There is no excuse for setting aside and despising God’s Holy Word and teaching this “doctrine of devils” and this evil “tradition of men.” (Mark 7:6-9; Colossians 2:8) There’s a “seducing spirit” behind those who teach such and this teaching itself (1 Timothy 4:1). It’s simply an age-old lie from hell (Genesis 2:17; 3:4).
SEVERE WARNING
“For if AFTER they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are AGAIN entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. 21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.” 2 Peter 2:20-21
God’s salvation is conditional. It’s an initial and ongoing choice (Deuteronomy 30:19; Joshua 24:15; Romans 6:16). Men must meet His requirements to procure and to keep His salvation. Though it be eternal, the possession of it is not un-forfeitable as is clear from a mountain of warnings and Scripture truth (Luke 8:13; Hebrews 3:6, 12-14; 10:26-39; Revelation 2-3, etc.). An un-conditional eternal security is never found in Scripture. The LORD Jesus taught that those who are His disciples must “endure to the end” or be lost (Matthew 10:22; 24:13). His holy apostles taught the same and never once taught or are heard saying to God’s people that they are “once saved always saved.” See Acts 13:43; 14:22; Romans 6:1-2, 15; 1 Corinthians 9:27; 2 Peter 2:20-21, etc. Such a teaching is not a component of “the apostle’s doctrine” that the true remnant of Christ is continuing in (Acts 2:42). In fact, this OSAS teaching clearly violates plainly set forth truth and is therefore a heresy to be exposed as a “doctrine of devils.” (1 Timothy 4:1)
“And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?” Luke 6:46
Those who do Christ’s will are those who know Him. Those who do not do His will in their daily lives and yet believe they are Christ’s are fully deceived. If they do not repent and truly lay down their lives (that’s saving faith), then they will be a part of the “man” whom Jesus promised would hear “Depart from me ye workers of iniquity (lawlessness).”(Matthew 7:21-23)
“But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.” James 1:22
Those who say they know Christ and do not obey Him but rather obey self, are liars before God and will be found wanting/lacking His righteousness in the end.
“He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.” 1 John 2:4
“They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.” Titus 1:16
Who or what one yields to clearly proves who or what they are serving and therefore whether or not they are in right standing with God, or not.
“What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid. 16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?” Romans 6:15-16
Obedience to Him is the proof that you are truly trusting Jesus in a true, saving faith relationship.
The OSAS adherent has bought Satan’s “ye shall NOT surely die” package and believes he is secure no matter what. He wants to redefine saving faith to fit his love for this world and hate for any personal responsibility in following Christ. The faith that saves is clearly defined by the whole of Scripture states and always produces the fruit of good works (Eph. 2:8-10; Tit. 2:11-14; 1 John 2:3-5). The OSAS pastor refuses to teach and preach the full counsel of God’s Word as Paul did and spoke of (Acts 20:20-32). So, his hearers are shallow and refuse to study the whole of God’s Word and are therefore deceived by half-truths. They are “not valiant for the truth” and will be “destroyed for lack of knowledge.”(Jeremiah 9:3; Hosea 4:6). They refuse to truly repent and lay down their lives. They will have none of that cross Jesus commanded to be taken up daily. No, No, No! “I want my OSAS lie so I can still live as I I I I I please and still believe I’m going to God’s holy Heaven! Get away from me with that fear of the LORD and His truth! I will have none of it!”
Were we not warned of this evil-hearted, last hour generation?
“There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness.” Proverbs 30:12
Moral cowards want no personal responsibility in their divinely-required participation in their walk of abiding with Christ who told us that all who are in Him and then do not abide or continue with Him, will be cast into the fires of hell (John 15:1-6).
To Christians, the apostle Paul wrote:
“Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. 13 For IF ye live after the flesh, ye shall die (be separated from God): but IF ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live (have eternal life).” Romans 8:12-13
IF IF IF – the two letter BIBLE death nail to Calvinism and OSAS. Who are we debtors to? (Romans 8:12) How is the flesh subdued? (Romans 8:13) Must we “suffer” to be ultimately “glorified together” with Him? Yes – “IF IF IF so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.” (Romans 8:13) This paints a different picture than the Scripture-denying, out of context OSAS/Calvinism many are taught by deceivers, doesn’t it? Verse 13 says – “For IF IF IF ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.”
If you CHOOSE to remain ignorant, thinking that it is a blessing, you better stop reading this truth. The mask is coming off those deceiving wolves who have taught you this false, soul-damning doctrine. If you want to enjoy this life and spend eternity in the lake of fire for believing the doctrine of demons, go right ahead. By God’s grace I will not be joining you!
Being “at ease in Zion” and “lukewarm” are both evidence of an apostate (departed) heart that is no longer right with God (Amos 6:1; Revelation 3:15-16). Those who are taking it easy and disinterested in seeking the face of the LORD Jesus want no suffering or to die to self, taking up the daily cross Jesus commanded in denying self and letting Him reign (Matthew 16:24-25; Luke 9:23-24; John 12:23-25; 2 Corinthians 1:9; 4:10-12). In many of His statements, Jesus makes it clear that no man will be with Him eternity that does not choose to love and worship Him supremely. For example, Jesus says: “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” (Matthew 7:21) Also, our LORD said: “So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.” (Luke 14:33). Christ defines His “enemies” as those who do not allow Him to “reign” in their daily lives:
It all boils down to the one true God and Christ, the Messiah and the daily cross and whether or not the individual is choosing to love Jesus supremely – above self. If he does authentically love God, it is plainly manifest in that he is dying daily to self and letting Christ truly reign supreme in his personal life, ever crying out “He must increase, but I (self) must decrease,” for “I am crucified with Christ.” (Matt. 16:24-25; Jn. 3:30; Gal. 2:20). In his dishonestly sinful heart, the Calvinist likes the idea of having no responsibility, so he migrates to spineless pulpiteers who teach the doctrines of ease, and he purposely evades and rejects the true disciples who teach what the Bible plainly reveals – that we must die by personally participating in Christ’s death in order to have God’s eternal life (Rom. 6; 2 Tim. 4:3).
Why does the Calvinist heaps to himself false teachers who tell him what he wants to hear instead of the Gospel truth? Why does he migrate to the damnable doctrines of John Calvin? Because they teach him that he has no personal responsibility. So he commits spiritual fornication via the self-serving teachings of reformed theology, forsaking the living God for his own temporal convenience and ease. The bottom line is that the Calvinist, after reading and hearing God’s Word – which teaches anything but Calvinism – rejects it for the doctrines of OSAS ease. He is a moral coward who refuses to come clean in sincere honesty before a holy God and therefore cannot prosper (Proverbs 28:13). He remains entangled in his sins while vainly believing his is still “secure.” A rude awakening with eternal consequences lies just ahead if he does not repent. On the Day of Judgment soon and certain to come, he will be lost and without the saving grace of the One he called “Lord, Lord” while he lived lawlessly (according to his own dictates). The hypocritical Calvinist rejects, hates, and denies the truth but will face it at his judgment, when it is too late. Because the rebel has freely chosen to live outside of the Savior in his personal life, God has chosen him alright but not for that which he vainly thinks – God has chosen and elected him to be cast into the flames of eternal damnation (Matthew 7:21-23; Luke 14:33; 17:33; 2 Thessalonians 1:7-9; Titus 1:16; Revelation 20:11-15; 21:8, 27).
The very first class of rebels to be cast into the lake of fire are “the fearful.” (Rev. 21:8) The Greek word from which “fearful” is translated into English, is deilos which means faithless, fearful, timid as in those who don’t fear God. – They “did not choose the fear of the Lord.”(Prov. 1:29) They are those who serve self instead of the LORD Almighty and are therefore moral cowards without a clear, open confession and testimony of the transforming blood and grace of Jesus Christ whereby they could otherwise be overcomers, truly saved to Heaven in the end (Revelation 2-3; 12:11). To those who teach OSAS or anything contrary to God’s Word, the Holy Spirit warns:
“But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we. 13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. 14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.” 2 Corinthians 11:12-15
Many today have time, money, energy, and the wherewithal to study the so-called reformers and heretics like John Calvin, but little or no time to seek the face of the LORD by studying HIS Word. They are willing and able to study what these mere sinful men had to say about the Bible, and yet find little or no time to study to show their own selves approved unto God by getting deeply into His written Word daily (2 Timothy 2:15). Sad!
Only Christ and His holy apostles and prophets have been divinely sanctioned to record God’s Word of truth. All else is to be subservient. All the words of mere men are infinitely inferior and carry no divine authority. Those who truly follow Christ, and destined for Heaven, honor His Word and walk according to it (John 8:47). So let’s just stick with Holy Writ. Go straight to the prophets, our LORD Jesus, and His apostles. And yes, He demands, requires, and enables holiness without which no man shall see Him (Matthew 5:8; Luke 21:34-36; Ephesians 5:25-27; Hebrews 12:14-15; Revelation 21:8, 27; 22:14-15, etc.).

FEEDBACK:
To a man who refused to listen to (hear) and hearken to God’s Word when it plainly contradicted his false, Calvinistic beliefs, I wrote:
“No matter what Scripture says, you refuse to believe it or take God at His Word. Just like the false leaders/Pharisees of Christ’s day, you set aside the commandment/Word of God in order to keep your diabolical tradition (Mark 7:6-9). Jude 4 tells us that you are a grace-perverting ‘ungodly man.’ It’s obvious that you have espoused extra biblical teachings and are far apart from the Word of God. You are defending a position, a false tradition. All de-formed theology contradicts Holy Scripture. That’s obvious to any true Bible believer.”
Message Received:
”‘Christ-denying, willingly deceived men.’ Not the way to talk about those who claim to be brothers and sisters.”
Reply:
Michael, claiming to be a true disciple of Christ does not make one such. What does Titus 1:16 say? How about “heresies” being 1 of the 17 soul-damning sins list in Galatians 5:19-21?
Message Received:
“God saved us and he will not lose one of his own.”
Reply:
Those whom He saved and who endure to the end, abiding in Christ, will be with Him eternally (Matt. 10:22; 24:13; Jn. 15:1-6; Col. 1:22-23; Heb. 3:6, 12-14; 10:26-39, etc.).

Mission Mexico Part 35 Video Update, etc.
WHILE the people of America have made up their mind, don’t want to be bothered with the Gospel, openly reject it, the people of Mexico grope in darkness, knowing something huge is missing in the lives, waiting only for someone who will deliver the message of Jesus to them. It’s absolutely stunning.
“How shall they hear without a preacher?” Romans 10:14
If you’re going to try to convince me that God has millions of professing “Christians” sitting around doing nothing but chasing the next fleeting trinket while the people of Mexico and other countries perish for not having the Gospel… you are wasting your time. I don’t believe that for a moment.
YOUR PRAYER: Father, in Jesus’ name, please forgive my vile and damning sin of self-idolatry. Please break me for real. Make me Thy authentic disciple. Prepare and place me on Your earth, doing Your Gospel work, wherever it most pleases You! From this moment onward, I am ALL Yours and no longer my own! In Jesus’ name.
*** Those who’ve heard the Word and are still living in sin, have rejected the Gospel… don’t need high and mighty you hanging around in order to get saved. The best thing you can do is leave them. They’ve already heard the Word and been warned. All your simping is just making them resolved in their rebellion. “Go” with God! Jesus commands you to “Go”—and to “go” you must get up and move!
“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.” Mark 16:15
As always, it begins with praying – “GOD, put me on Your planet where it best serves You! In Jesus’ name. Amen.
ARE YOU personally engaged in doing the Great Commission Jesus gave us—or are you backsliding? It’s either one or the other.
The 3 Ways God’s People Participate in Christ’s Great Commission
1. Praying for Christ’s laborers (Matthew 9:35-38).
2. Witnessing, sowing and communicating the Word (Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15; Luke 8:11).
3. Supporting, supplying those of God’s people who are doing His Great Commission, preaching the Word (Matthew 6:19-21; 2 Corinthians 9:6-11; Philippians 2:25; 4:16-20).
You want God to take you seriously when you don’t take HIM seriously?! Not going to happen. You are praying but not obeying? There are conditions for answered prayer. YOU don’t decide how things work in JESUS’ kingdom—HE does. Repent now. Lay down your life. Jesus says:
“If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.” John 15:7
“And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.” 1 John 3:22
The Great Commission Jesus gave you!
“Mark, Absolutely love that God has you where you are right now, brother! Watched the video (Mission Mexico update) and God is certainly moving in this ministry! Love the emphasis on getting the dad involved and the reminder of Scripture and Acts 16:31! Love you and praying over your work there! So proud of you, brother!

You can help us minister to the people of Mexico. Your prayers and financial support is needed. It’s a grand evangelism opportunity. | Support Mission Mexico
Brother Vicente continues to minister the Word of God to men I minister to and then hand them off to him and/or brother Salvador. Both of these men have been supplied with and are passing out the JESUS tract to the people of Mexico. Such was the case with a man named Florentine who received the spoken Word of God and a JESUS tract in Spanish last week. Both Salvador and Vicente are now in touch with this man and ministering God’s Word to him in his own native tongue, Spanish. Last night, brother Vicente sent me this: “I’m taking this opportunity, brother, to see if you have any work available for someone. She’s a woman looking for work from 7 AM to 2 PM, cleaning or anything else you can find. If you could get her something, please. She has three children and is a single mother. She doesn’t have a husband. Or if you, the group, could get her things to sell. She’s a young woman with very limited resources.” Vicente Okay saints, here’s another opportunity. Please lift this dear lady in prayer and her children.
Last night a dear saint gave financially. Today I am working on getting the money to this mother in need today and perhaps hire her for regular work. Her name is Clara. Please pray for her. Let’s roll saints. Jesus is coming. Hand to the plow of His work! Luke 9:62
“The Mexicans I worked with …. They needed Gospel tracts! So glad your team is reaching even their military!!! y Policia. I am praying He will give you both full fluency when needed. Tongues.” Crystal
Police, National Guard, and Army.
Saints, your prayers for the Mexican people are being answered by our LORD saints.
As has been shared, we are now supporting brother Allan Abayon, missionary in the Philippines, his native country. Please pause and lift our brother Allan in prayer —for great fruitfulness for Christ and provision. Gracias. safeguardyoursoul.com
Would you like to pause and lift Mr. Florentino in prayer? He was given and fully received the Gospel of our LORD Jesus today. He and I will continue to communicate.
Mark and I go walking.
Individually of course.
And together a time or two weekly on average,
Last night, as usual, Gospel explosion.
Neither of us will ever get over just how receptive the Mexican people are to our LORD’s Gospel.
You have to see it to believe it and then you may never get over it.
I’ve been sharing with them (in Spanish), always in a loving tone— that hell is forever. Followed up by No. No. No. Do not go there. Jesus died for our sins. Repent and receive Christ. New life in Christ for you today! They are captivated by our LORD’s Gospel and each one is given a JESUS tract (Spanish) and shown the prayer on the back and instructed to go home and repent and receive Jesus.
Yes and any witnesses for Christ who come here will be delighted to see the joyful reception of the Gospel by the Mexican people.
God gives the increase of lost souls as “For we are labourers together with God.”
“I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. 7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. 8 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. 9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building.” 1 Corinthians 3:6-9
Gospel train rolling. Team Jesus! We must obey our LORD Jesus’ Great Command saints. You are not alone—God is with you, and us!
“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” Matthew 28:18-20

Overcoming Whoredom [podcast]
ARE parents setting their own children up for failure, ruin, and damnation by sending them off to college?
ONLY THE BIBLICALLY ILLITERATE WONDER WHY AMERICA IS COLLAPSING. HINT: THE FOUNDATION IS GONE (Psalms 11:3; 68:6)
More and more it becomes apparent that most college degrees are useless and that “educated” would be more honestly termed “indoctrinated.” Are parents who indoctrinate and push their daughters to “go get a degree/education” guilty of prostituting their own daughters, making them whores? Does this lead to “college educated” and also “college prostituted” daughters?
“Do not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be a whore; lest the land fall to whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness.” Leviticus 19:29
Read that verse again and begin to meditate upon it.
WHAT does God say young women should do?
“I will therefore that the YOUNGER WOMEN MARRY, BEAR CHILDREN, GUIDE THE HOUSE, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.” 1 Timothy 5:14
“younger women” are to:
- “marry”
- “bear children”
- “guide the house”
Whoredom vs Wholesome
Whoring daughters to the world system proves, demonstrates parents who are not saved (Jeremiah 10:2; James 4:4; 1 John 2:15).
“Do not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be a whore; lest the land fall to whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness.” Leviticus 19:29
We now have generations of children raised by “I don’t need a man” hell bound jezebels AND godless fathers who misled their own daughters…. and many of them now wonder why their daughters lives are now destroyed. SMH
Any land will “FALL to whoredom”…. in other words whoredom causes divine judgment to fall on any people who commit this sin against the Almighty.
“Whoredom and wine and new wine take away the heart.” Hosea 4:11
Read Hosea 4. Wow. The heart is taken away from God, from worshipping the LORD, when we choose to partake of sin.
“In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; 10 But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.” 1 Timothy 2:9-10
“A woman who is shamefaced does not seek to draw attention to herself in any way, no matter how small or simple it may be.” unknown
When a woman dresses wholesomely, she is announcing that she is reserved for that one good man, she is keeping, saving it all for him. Wholesome is the outward adorning of purity. Conversely, when a woman shows her body, when she does not dress modestly as the Bible commands, she is whoring herself out for all to see. She is also telling all the men that that’s ALL she has to offer (1 Timothy 2:9-14). Hint: Quality, especially godly men, love modesty. A chemical effect happens inside of a man when he sees God’s beautiful femininity in a wholesome woman. No good man wants a woman who is uncovered and showing parts of her body to the men of the world. No, he desires a woman that is HIS and only his.
BEWARE OF THE SPIRITUAL WHOREMONGERS/ADULTERERS
“And yet they would not hearken unto their judges, but they went a whoring after other gods, and bowed themselves unto them: they turned quickly out of the way which their fathers walked in, obeying the commandments of the LORD; but they did not so.” Judges 2:17
Many today treat the Great Bridegroom as did the 5 foolish virgins. Read Matthew 25:1-13 where Jesus told us exactly what we’d see in these final days among those professing to know Him. 5 were welcomed into His bridal chamber (Heaven) and the door was shut upon the other 5. The foolish virgins, engaged to the bridegroom but not engaged with him want the formality of the engagement but refuse to intimately form a vital union with their intended bridegroom. They wanted the ring but not the relationship. They are like the whoremonger who simply wants the benefits of marriage but not the beauty of the marriage covenant. The spiritual whoremonger gets what he wants and leaves the woman without a commitment. In the same way, those who claim they are “eternal security” want the crown but not the cross. They refuse to comply with the instructions of the One they call Savior (Luke 9:23-24). These moral cowards who refuse to truly submit to Christ in true repentance think they can hide behind the thin veneer of the mythical “once saved always saved” or “one and done” heresy. But God sees it all and Jesus came to have a real covenant relationship with us, not a flimsy, non-committal latchkey arrangement. “Depart from me” is what they will soon hear as they are irrevocably vanquished into the flames of eternal damnation (Matthew 25:41). They are serving the god of self and not the Savior. Read 2 Timothy 3:1-7.
“And the LORD said unto Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleep with thy fathers; and this people will rise up, and go a whoring after the gods of the strangers of the land, whither they go to be among them, and will forsake me, and break my covenant which I have made with them.” Deuteronomy 31:16
EVERY person who refuses to overcome sin via the crucified life, does so due to loving sin and self more than Jesus (John 3:19-21).
“Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?” Romans 6:16
Not even 1 person who has not repented and confessed the sin of beholding illicit images will be in Heaven. EVERY fornicator will be signed, sealed, and delivered into the lake of fire (Revelation 21:8).
There’s no sin your can’t Isaiah 58 out of your life. The cross. | Fasting and Prayer
Did Jesus or His holy apostles ever once teach that those saved by Christ, who engage in a real relationship with Him which includes obeying the Savior, are trying to earn, attempting to merit their own salvation? I’m still looking for any such verse in God’s Word.
“WHOREMONGERS AND ADULTERERS GOD WILL JUDGE”
“Thou shalt not commit adultery.” Exodus 20:14
The wages of sin is STILL death (Ezekiel 18:4; Romans 6:23). God’s grace never changed His definition of sin. God will judge, will damn the soul of every person who dies in sin – whether they were saved in the past or not (Ezekiel 33:12-13; Revelation 22:11, etc.).
“Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.” Hebrews 13:4
The testimony of the whole of Holy Scripture is that leaving God always leads to doing things some other way than His way and results in the utter destruction of individuals and societies (Romans 6:23).
The words “whoredom” and “whoredoms” and “whoring” combine for a whopping 74 appearances in God’s Word, the King James Bible. “Harlot” appears 42 times. “Whoremonger(s)” appears 5 times.
“And it came to pass, when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, Is it peace, Jehu? And he answered, What peace, so long as the whoredoms of thy mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts are so many? ” 2 Kings 9:22
Without fail, sin always causes the blessings of God to be withheld from our lives.
“Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good things from you.” Jeremiah 5:25
Jesus calls this generation “An evil and adulterous generation.” (Matthew 12:39)
Spiritual adultery or spiritual whoredom, is idolatry. It is looking away from God to something, anything else, choosing to not uphold Jesus Christ as the very first priority, the “first love” or our lives (Revelation 2:4-5). Think about when a man looks to someone, anyone else, to fulfill what God ordains his wife to fulfill. This is adulterous. And, for men, in the flesh, the most powerful attraction, temptation of idolatry, is toward that which God created for the man, the woman (Genesis 1-3). Yet putting her first instead of Christ, is worshipping the creature instead of the Creator (Romans 1:25). The divine parameters for sex is within the marriage between one man and one woman. | The Proverbs 31 Woman
Read Genesis 1-3 to be established in the original and unchanged ordained purpose of God for the creation of the man and the woman. And realize, that you and I will give full account before His judgment throne for how we lived on earth concerning being a man or the woman. | The True Proverbs 31 Woman by Lori Alexander
“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.” Genesis 1:26-28
“Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: 14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. 15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.’ James 1:13-15
The God fearing man will lay the axe to the root of all sin and get clean and establish his life in holiness before the LORD, preparing to be ready when Jesus appears, and also preparing to be the husband of one wife and the father of precious children born out of that union (Psalms 127-128). This is Bible, Genesis 101. God has not changed.
“And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.” Genesis 2:18
THE PRAYER OF THE GODLY UNMARRIED MAN: “Father, I know You have a daughter here on Your planet who is crying out to You for the blessed opportunity to fulfill Your ordained calling to be a wife and a mother. Please prepare me in Thy grace, break me, let Christ be formed in me dear LORD, please. Cleanse me of all sin and let this life be crucified with Thee my dear LORD Jesus, raised up by You for Your glory and purposes alone. In Jesus’ Name, amen.”

Whoring after women online defiles the vessel, destroys the temple of God with sin.
“Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.” 1 Corinthians 3:16-17
Though never heard today from the priesthood of deceivers who call themselves ministers of Christ, we must acknowledge that the LORD requires that His elect be cleansed, be clean in “flesh and spirit.”
“Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.” 2 Corinthians 7:1
The cross is God’s prescription and is the Bible’s only prescription to overcome pornography, adultery, fornication, all uncleanness, and every sin. Everything else being peddled as the answer is a lie.
“Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, 18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.” 2 Corinthians 6:14-18
The seat of the heart of man seems to be the root of this matter. Pornography is a “stumblingblock” of “iniquity.” Those who set such before their eye gates will not be heard by God. Their prayers are not heard and in fact, are an “abomination” to the LORD (Proverbs 28:9, 13).
“Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart, and put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face: should I be enquired of at all by them?” Ezekiel 14:3
Dear whoremongering pornographer: If you die in this sin, you will be irrevocably in hell (Ezekiel 18:4, 24; 33:12-13; Romans 6:23; 1 Corinthians 6:10-11; 9:27; Galatians 5:19-21; Revelation 21:8, etc.). You don’t need an “accountability partner,” you are in need of true repentance and to live the crucified life – to fast and pray in starving the flesh and feed the spirit (Isaiah 58; Galatians 5:16-24; Romans 6, etc.). Only the LORD can deliver you, can give you His victory. There will be no victory over sin until you do things God’s way and stop seeking the coping band aids of the apostate modern church world. | Fasting and Prayer
One man cannot borrow heavenly oil from another man. Each must go to God for themselves to get that fresh supply (Matthew 25:1-13). God requires it.
All who view pornography are fornicators. Those not saved from living in sin are not saved for eternal glory (1 John 3:7-10, etc.).
“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
This passage above makes it clear that those still living in the sin Jesus died to save them out of, are “unrighteous” and “shall not inherit the kingdom of God.” They have rebelled. In their temple, their body, mind, heart, they are now worshipping the god of self, feeding the lusts of the flesh. When Jesus saved them and in their past reigned in the temple, on the throne of their heart, He “washed” and “sanctified” them but now they have yielded their members to unrighteousness (Romans 6).
“Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?” Romans 6:16
All who view pornography are yielding to the flesh instead of God and are adulterers in the eyes of God.
“But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.” Matthew 5:28
1 John 2:16 speaks of the world and the “lust of the eyes.”
Those who refuse to “cast away the abominations of their eyes” will be judged by the LORD. Read Ezekiel 20 and Numbers 25.
“But they rebelled against me, and would not hearken unto me: they did not every man cast away the abominations of their eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt: then I said, I will pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.” Ezekiel 20:8
It’s interesting how many times the Bible speaks of eyes toward idols.
“And hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, neither hath defiled his neighbour’s wife, neither hath come near to a menstruous woman,” Ezekiel 18:6
Covenanting to guard the eye gates.
“I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon a maid?” Job 31:1
Must not lust after the beauty of a woman.
“Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.” Proverbs 6:25
Must “set no wicked thing before” our eyes.
“I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O LORD, will I sing. 2 I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart. 3 I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me. 4 A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person. 5 Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer. 6 Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me. 7 He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight. 8 I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the LORD.” Psalms 101:1-8
The man who is truly “crucified with Christ” is overcoming lust (Galatians 2:20). Only the un-crucified man will be ensnared by lust, by adultery, by “evil concupiscence”, by fornication (Ecclesiastes 7:26; Colossians 3:5).
“whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her”
“And I find more bitter than death the woman, whose heart is snares and nets, and her hands as bands: whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her.” Ecclesiastes 7:26
WHO, which man is going to “escape” from whoredom, from self-idolatry, from sinful lusts? – only the man that “pleaseth God shall escape.” And the man that “pleaseth God” is living the crucified life. Have you memorized and are you living out the truth captured in Galatians 2:20?
We are Living in the Final Days
Jesus foretold that these final days leading to His return will be so wicked that “except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved.”
“For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened. 23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.” Matthew 24: 21-23
This is why we must increase in our camping on and doing the message of the cross. May God bless us to be anointed by His Holy Spirit to continue to go deeper into our own death, that we might be “hid with Christ in God.”
“If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. 5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: 6 For which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: 7 In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them. 8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. 9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; 10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:” Colossians 3:1-10
All who after being truly saved, do not continue with the LORD, do not endure to the end, “shall perish.”
“For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee.” Psalms 73:27
All who “go a whoring from” the LORD after He saves them, shall be “destroyed,” shall perish in their own corruption.
To “go a whoring” from God is to desert God for the idol of self and this fleeting world, world system and the sin of it, to cease to love the LORD supremely and instead love and serve the god of self.
“Go a whoring – Those who revolt from thee, to work wickedness; which is called whoredom in scripture.” John Wesley
Of this Psalms 73 passage, Adam Clarke wrote:
“Psalms 73:27: They that are far from thee shall perish – The term perish is generally used to signify a coming to nothing, being annihilated; and by some it is thus applied to the finally impenitent, they shall all be annihilated. But where is this to be found in the Scriptures? In no part, properly understood. In the new heavens and the new earth none of the wicked shall be found; for therein dwells righteousness – nothing but God and righteous spirits; but at the same time the wicked shall be in their own place. And to suppose that they shall be annihilated, is as great a heresy, though scarcely so absurd, as to believe that the pains of damnation are emendatory, and that hellfire shall burn out. There is presumptive evidence from Scripture to lead us to the conclusion, that if there be not eternal punishment, glory will not be eternal; as the same terms are used to express the duration of both. No human spirit that is not united to God can be saved. Those who are Far from Thee shall perish – they shall be lost, undone, ruined, and that without remedy. Being separated from God by sin, they shall never be rejoined; the great gulf must be between them and their Maker eternally. All them that go a whoring from thee – That is, all that worship false gods; all idolaters. This is the only meaning of the word in such a connection. I have explained this elsewhere.”
Every day is a test of our love – of who we are going to love supremely – God or self. Jesus commanded that we are to deny self and love God supremely (Luke 9:23-24):
“Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.” Matthew 22:37-40
The apostle John speaks here below of overcoming that wicked one, the devil.
“I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one. 15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.” 1 John 2:14-17
Through His precious blood, Jesus made the provision for you to live and to labor with clarity, with a clean conscience and yet, you know your conscience is defiled, it’s not clean and clear. Come away with Christ beloved. Hear His voice calling you to repentance, to a full surrender of your life to Him – to let go and let God do what you cannot do (Luke 22:42). Jesus is your salvation and you must rest in Him. The way you rest in Him is to rest your body, life, thoughts and whole being in the grace of His cross, His death and burial, that He might raise you up in His holiness, by His grace and power to do His will.
“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.” Galatians 2:20
Read Romans 6 each morning this week.
To overcome sin is to overcome Satan. And the only way to overcome sin is to submit yourself truly to God. It’s only then that His power in you will subdue the enemy.
“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” James 4:7
We are no match for sin and Satan unless given over to our LORD who conquered sin and death, and is our salvation.
“Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand. 24 Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory. 25 Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee. 26 My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever. 27 For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee. 28 But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.” Psalms 73:23-28
God brought His people Israel out of Egypt, the world, and promised them their own land, a “land flowing with milk and honey” (Exodus 3:8, 17, etc.). Yet between Egypt and the promised land, many of His people rebelled. In the same way today we see so many whom Christ saved from their sins and out of the world (Egypt), seeking to bring into the full blessings of His salvation here and into eternal glory, and yet now they are in rebellion, lusting and lukewarm, just as Israel.
The ensuing history of His people including the writings of the prophets, the recounting of Israel’s rebellion against God. Here’s a taste.
“He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word.” Psalm 105:28
“Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High:” Psalm 107:11
“But they rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them.” Isaiah 63:10
“But they rebelled against me, and would not hearken unto me: they did not every man cast away the abominations of their eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt: then I said, I will pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.” Ezekiel 20:8
The LORD gave His people the promise of bringing them out of the land of bondage, out from under the rule of Satan and his wicked minions and “unto a land flowing with milk and honey.”
“And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.” Exodus 3:8
In fact, the LORD told His people He wanted to bring them “out” that He might bring them “in.”
“And he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he sware unto our fathers. 24 And the LORD commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the LORD our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as it is at this day. 25 And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the LORD our God, as he hath commanded us.” Deuteronomy 6:23-25
As Christ has saved us unto Himself, out of the world into His kingdom, we must seek Him daily, to become ever increasingly “rooted and built up in him” and continually established in Him.
We need to beware of the many false prophets who are not preaching God’s pure Word but rather their own thoughts and the philosophies and notions of this fallen world system.
“As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: 7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. 8 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. 9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:” Colossians 2:6-10
The LORD was bringing them out of something bad and into something so very good. That’s His desire for each of His people and yet, many who get saved do not continue on with the LORD, that is, they don’t walk in His ways which are stated in His Word. Instead, they yield to the flesh instead of the Spirit and follow false teachings which cause them to do laps in the desert (Colossians 2:8-10).
Repentance is Essential
“Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning: 13 And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.” Joel 2:12-13
YOUR PRAYER: Father You are Holy, holy, holy. I’ve been very wicked, rebellious, sinful. I come to You now in the name of the LORD Jesus Christ, asking that You forgive my many sins, to cleanse me, wash me, purge and fill me with Your Holy Spirit. Please take over this life right now. I lay my life in Your holy hands. Into Your hands I commend, I submit my spirit. I am all Yours dear LORD. Please teach me Your ways through Your Word and use me for Your glory as I look for Your soon return LORD. In Jesus’ Name, amen.
