The Bible teaches that backslidding is possible and that backslidders must be re-converted – brought back to God via repentance and confession of sin.
“And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: 32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.” Luke 22:31-32
The backslider must be “converted” again or he will perish:
“Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him; 20 Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death (eternal separation from God), and shall hide a multitude of sins.” James 5:19-20
ALL THOSE WHO DO NOT DILIGENTLY, DAILY STUDY GOD’S WORD HAVE TOLD HIM HE’S NOT IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO THEM! THEY’VE SAID “YOU ARE NOT WORTH PUTTING FIRST JESUS.” HE’S A SECOND CLASS CITIZEN TO THEM. HE’S NOT THEIR “FIRST LOVE” – THAT IS, JESUS IS NOT THEIR FIRST AND SUPREME PRIORITY. TO THIS JESUS SAYS THEY MUST “REPENT” TO BE SAVED INTO GLORY. READ REVELATION 2:1-7. LUKEWARM IS HELL BOUND
ALL it takes to go to hell irrevocably, is to die in a lukewarm state (Revelation 3:15-6). Jesus was speaking to the Laodicean church and not the world. This is even more Bible proof that OSAS/perseverance of the saints are full blown, soul damning heresies. You on fire? You better repent immediately, lay down your life, and cry out to the LORD to baptize you with the Holy Ghost. The lake of fire awaits.
INTERPRETATION OF OSAS: “I refuse to truly repent, change, and bring forth good fruit! I only want to use Jesus to get me out of hell! I’m not interested in truly knowing and obeying Him!”
I’ve been talking to a church going guy for months now whom I found out today believes OSAS. I brought it up and gave him much Bible that contradicts this evil lie. Regrettably this is all too typical of counterfeits in America, produced by the false church. This man has no desires to serve God in his life. His whole “Christianity” consists of going to church on Sunday morning. Sad since this has and is sending millions upon millions to eternal damnation.
Are you confessing Christ or are you denying Him due to being ashamed?
“Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 35 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s, the same shall save it. 36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? 37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? 38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.” Mark 8:34-38
All those who are not about “the Father’s business” are not right with God (Luke 2:49).
Who’s true in your personal life?
“Let God be true and EVERY man a liar.” Romans 3:4
Letting God be true simply means letting Christ – His Word rule your thoughts and life and no one else – no other mere man, beginning with yourself. The LORD has magnified His Word even above His own name (Psalms 138:2). Meditate upon this truth beloved.
We must ask the all-important question as to who truly is the final authority in our personal lives (thoughts, will). This is where the battle is won.
“Valiant for the truth” – Are you – yes YOU – “valiant for the truth”? In their backslidden condition, Jeremiah the prophet anguishes over God’s people …. “And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies: but they are not valiant for the truth upon the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, saith the LORD.” (Jeremiah 9:3) He cites them for not being “valiant for the truth” which is a clear indication that someone is no longer right with God – they are lukewarm and will be rejected from eternal glory with Christ if they do not repent before it’s too late (Revelation 3:15-22).
Most people who “go to church” instead of being the church daily, are backslidden. Departing from Christ happens in the heart! See Proverbs 14:14.
ANY person who is not quickening by sound full-counsel doctrine, which includes the essential of fearing and obeying the LORD, is a wolf. Run for your life!
Want to be on fire for Christ? Here’s a list of 5 things to do, beginning now:
1. Read God’s Word each morning upon awaking (Revelation 1:5).
2. Study God’s Word every morning upon waking (2 Timothy 2:15).
3. Make God’s Word your final authority – embrace and live it (Romans 3:4).
4. Meditate upon God’s Word daily (Joshua 1:8).
5. Memorize God’s Word daily, always (Proverbs 4:4).
IN THIS LAST HOUR, WHEN YOU SEE THE VILEST OF SINNERS …. PLEASE KNOW THAT THEY ARE CLOSER TO BEING SAVED THAN THE SELF RIGHTEOUS RELIGIONISTS THAT SURROUND US WHO CLAIM TO BE CHRISTIANS …. MOST WHO THINK THEY ARE SAVED TODAY IN AMERICA ARE GOING TO HELL. THEY SAID A PRAYER IN THE PAST AND THEIR FALSE PASTORS HAVE MISLED THEM TO BELIEVE THAT DUE TO ATTENDING “CHURCH” THEY ARE SECURE. NONSENSE. THAT’S NOT WHAT SCRIPTURE TEACHES.
To the self-righteous religionists of His day and our day, Jesus said:
“For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees (self-righteousness), ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 5:20
ALL who are not literally DOING God’s stated will in His Word – are as sure for eternal damnation as if they were already there! The refusal to walk with Christ reveals that one does not know Him – Does not have a relationship with the Son of God who invites all to “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” (Matthew 11:28-30)
Love for Christ always produces an obedience to Him and yet love (relationship) must come first.
“He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. … 23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.” John 14:21, 23
Jesus warns:
“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
RED FLAG: You attend a “church” and aren’t digging into, devouring, and memorizing God’s Word daily. Backslidden!
Concerning the unthinkable idea of being out of the Word of God, one sister writes: “I would be grieved in my spirit so much … I would be in TRAVAIL…WILL NOT SETTLE for ANYTHING LESS THAN SOLD OUT…PASSIONATE 150% in the WORD… STANDING on the WORD… SPEAKING the WORD…LIVING the WORD… HEARING the WORD…STUDYING the WORD.”
So you have time to read the news in the morning but no time or desire and disciple to seek God in His holy Word and prayer when you first awake in the mornings? Self-idolatry!
God’s Word cannot and will not get into you until you get into it!
If anything is more important to you than knowing the LORD through studying His Word, you are not ready to meet Jesus.
It’s time to repent for real …. and when one does, his life will change! If not, one hasn’t yet repented (Matthew 3:7-10).
“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
— YOU WILL NEVER ACCIDENTALLY LEARN GOD’S WORD. NEVER MIND the excuses. You’ve used that worn out garbage long enough. It’s time for you to truly repent and when you do, your whole being life will build around the WORD of God and nothing else. ANY person who has a “I’ll get around to it” attitude and life concerning searching, studying, and doing God’s Word, is apostate – outside of the kingdom of God.
It’s time to repent! It’s time to fast and pray! Your life, your eternity depends on it! Isaiah 58
Repent today.
“Sound doctrine” is biblical language and all who truly know and love supremely the LORD and Savior are becoming more and more grounded in His truth – “sound doctrine.” They seek out and study and are devouring God’s Word.
If you are not in God’s Word daily, you have already backslidden.
To “endure sound doctrine” involves opening our hearts and lives to the full counsel of God’s Word. The word “endure” here comes from the Greek word anechomai which means to hold one’s self up against, to bear, endure, suffer. Are you suffering “sound doctrine”? Are you bearing “sound doctrine”? Friend, are you holding yourself up against “sound doctrine”?
When God’s Word is not FIRST priority in your life, you are being called by Him today to understand that you are estranged from Him by your own rebellion.
SADLY, SO VERY MANY among us do not understand the utter importance of sound doctrine. Christ’s True Church is Identified by the Ongoing Washing of the Water of the Word and Adherence to Sound Doctrine.
Church goers today are being used or exploited by false leaders who are building their own kingdoms upon the backs and ignorance of those whom the Holy Spirit foretold would “not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;” …. Here’s the passage:
“Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure (Gr. hold themselves accountable to) 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 (stories – story tellers).” 2 Timothy 4:2-4
ANY so-called pastor or Christian leader who has not gotten YOU personally into God’s Word via rebuke, encouragement or otherwise, is an absolute fraud … OR, you are an utter, hardened rebel who has refused to repent. Those who repent know Christ and they WILL seek His face in His Word.

Read the Handwriting

A weary mother returned from the store,
lugging groceries through the kitchen door.
Awaiting her arrival was her eight-year-old son,
anxious to relate what his younger brother had done.
“While I was out playing and Dad was on a call,
T.J. took his crayons and wrote on the wall!
It’s on the new paper you just hung in the den.
I told him you’d be mad at having to do it again.”
She let out a moan and furrowed her brow.
“Where is your little brother right now?”
She emptied her arms and with a purposeful stride,
She marched to his closet where he had gone to hide.
She called his full name as she entered his room,
He trembled with fear — he knew that meant doom!
For the next ten minutes, she ranted and raved
about the expensive wallpaper and how she had saved.
Lamenting all the work it would take to repair,
she condemned his actions and total lack of care.
The more she scolded, the madder she got.
Then stomped from his room, totally distraught!
She headed for the den to confirm her fears,
When she saw the wall her eyes flooded with tears.
The message she read pierced her soul with a dart.
It said, “I love Mommy,” surrounded by a heart.
Well, the wallpaper remained, just as she found it,
with an empty picture frame hung to surround it.
A reminder to her, and indeed to all,
take time to read the handwriting on the wall !!!!
Pass It On to Another
If you truly desire to know more about how to really know the LORD, go here okay: Born Again: What is It?
YOUR CHILD is your heritage from God not money or materialism!!!!! (Psalms 127-128) WHAT King James Bible verse(s) are you teaching you child today? PARENTS who aren’t teaching their children literal SCRIPTURE in God’s love and joy today are out of God’s will. Repentance needed. Are you misleading your own children by teaching them to be “good church goers” OR authentic disciples who truly walk daily with Jesus? The LORD never told anyone to “let the local church teach your children”! That is the work of a counterfeit. YOU train your own precious children in God’s Word – instead of making them a churchianity hypocrite! Are you an authentic disciple or a typical counterfeit church goer?
Time to thoroughly TEACH OUR CHILDREN GOD’S LITERAL WORD – THE HOLY SCRIPTURES!!!!!!

The Blessing of Being Born of God, Born Again [podcast]

QUESTION:
“What does it mean to be ‘born again’?”
REPLY:
Great question. I am praying for you now. Born again is the same as regeneration we see in Titus 3:5-7. When the sinner (ALL of us) comes to God humbly, in repentance, turning his life to the LORD, and putting all of his faith now in Jesus Christ alone, God does a miracle in the person’s life—a change on the inside that is unmistakable and transforms that persons nature and life forever. From that moment onward, Christ reigns in that person’s life, filling him with love, joy, peace, etc. (Galatians 5:22-23). The LORD works from the inside out. First He saves, washes our sins away, and then dwells in that newly saved, born again temple (1 Corinthians 6:19-20).
To be born again you have to go to God directly…. admitting you have sinned against Him, and receive Jesus into your life. It has to be personal. Religions are designed to keep you from God while claiming to be the way to God. Beware.
“Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” John 3:3
“Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again (2nd birth).” John 3:7
“The birth for which Christ contends is from above—by the agency of the Holy Spirit. Every man must have two births, one from heaven, the other from earth—one of his body, the other of his soul: without the first he cannot see nor enjoy this world, without the last he can not see nor enjoy the kingdom of God. As there is an absolute necessity that a child should be born into the world, that he may see its light, contemplate its glories, and enjoy its good, so there is an absolute necessity that the soul should be brought out of its state of darkness and sin, through the light and power of the grace of Christ, that it may be able to see, or to discern, the glories and excellencies of the kingdom of Christ here, and be prepared for the enjoyment of the kingdom of glory hereafter. The Jews had some general notion of the new birth; but, like many among Christians, they put the acts of proselytism, baptism, etc., in the place of the Holy Spirit and his influence: they acknowledged that a man must be born again; but they made that new birth to consist in profession, confession, and external washing.
The new birth which is here spoken of comprehends, not only what is termed justification or pardon, but also sanctification or holiness. Sin must be pardoned, and the impurity of the heart washed away before any soul can possibly enter into the kingdom of God. As this new birth implies the renewing of the whole soul in righteousness and true holiness, it is not a matter that may be dispensed with: heaven is a place of holiness, and nothing but what is like itself can ever enter into it.” Adam Clarke
“I can remember after getting saved my friends and my family immediately saying What happened to her?’ There was an immediate and complete change in me. God cleaned me from the inside out. I was made brand new and people noticed. My family asked ‘What has happened to her?’ Does anyone know? Yes! Jesus happened to me! Alleluia!” Karen Cochran
YOUR PRAYER TO GOD TO BE SAVED, TO BE FORGIVEN
Are You Ready to be Saved? Okay here’s a prayer to be God’s child. You have to admit the obvious, that you have sinned against God and turn to Him fully, turn your life over to Him who made you, and confess Jesus Christ as the new LORD and Savior of your life. Pray this …
Your Prayer to God … You must honestly admit your sins and receive Christ… Apply His holy blood to your life so that you may be saved, forgiven, and live eternally with Him. You must completely turn your life over to Him in repentance and faith. Now, pray the following prayer to God with all that is within you, from your heart and out loud:….
Dear heavenly Father, right now, if never before, I come to You as a broken and sinful person. Thank You for sending Your only begotten Son to die in my place for my sins. Thank You Jesus for coming to this earth to die and rise again to rescue me from sin and eternal hell and to save me for Your eternal glory. Right this moment, if never before, I receive You LORD Jesus. Come in and take over my whole life. I am all Yours and You are all mine. I love You Jesus and I will follow You from this moment forward till I am with You in Heaven forever! Please use me to help others know You dear LORD. In Jesus’ Name, amen.
How do we know someone is “born of God”?
“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; … Now then we are ambassadors for Christ…” 2 Corinthians 5:17-18, 20
First off, if you are born again you are changed from the inside out … you desire to do God’s will now…. and are learning the need for the cross, the daily crucified life (Luke 9:23-25).
Let us remember that the biblical words “born again” (John 3:3, 7), “born of God” (1 John 4:7), “regeneration,” and being a “new creature” in Christ go hand in hand or we can say, are synonymous.
“Born of God” appears 6 times in God’s Word and are all found in the book of 1 John:
1 John 3:9
Whosoever is BORN OF GOD doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is BORN OF GOD.
Those who are “born of God” do not live in sin. They repent or return (turn back) to the LORD, confessing all sin. If not they will “fall away” and be outside of Christ (Luke 8:13). See Can a Born Again Man be Un-Born Again? [podcast]
1 John 4:7
Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is BORN OF GOD, and knoweth God.
Those who are “born of God” walk in His love toward others.
1 John 5:1
Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is BORN OF GOD: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.
Those who repent and believe upon Christ are “born of God” and they love all other of Christ’s saints.
1 John 5:4
For whatsoever is BORN OF GOD overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
Those who are “born of God” overcome this fallen world. By present and perpetual faith, they “overcometh the world.”
1 John 5:18
We know that whosoever is BORN OF GOD sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.
Those “born of God” do not live in sin. Rather, they “keepeth” themselves from sin and therefore Satan. This is accomplished by what we read in 1 John 1 and 2—which spells out the walk of the true disciple of Jesus.
MAY GOD bless each disciple of Jesus today to abide in Christ by walking crucified and raised up by Him today (2 Corinthians 4:10-12). May “the fruit of the Spirit”—the “love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance” be abundantly produced in the life of every saint of Jesus! May it be 100 fold LORD! Read John 15. If you have been drawn in by Christ (John 6:44; 12:32), have repented (Luke 13:3), have received Christ (John 1:12), and are born again (John 3:3), you are bought by the precious blood of the LORD Jesus Christ (1 Peter 1:17-18).
YOUR PRAYER: Heavenly Father, You found and saved me into Your eternal kingdom by way of the precious blood of Your only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. I stop this life here and now, and I give You praise. I love You LORD Jesus. I am no longer my own but Yours. I am crucified with Christ. Please work in me both to will and to do of Your good pleasure. I am all Yours LORD and I know You are all mine! Please fill this vessel with Your Holy Ghost afresh, and please use me. In Jesus’ name, amen Master Jesus!

From brother Juan:
“Glory to God, brother! We know that the Word of God is not imprisoned. Jeremiah was in the prison courtyard, and God said, ‘Call to me, and I will answer you and tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.’ And we know that the word of God never returns empty; it always fulfills its purpose, brother. So we fully trust that God will do the work to expand His kingdom for His honor and glory. To Him be all the honor, brother. Blessings.” Juan
