Does This Description Fit Your Life?

“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.” 2 Timothy 3:1-7

The previous passage reveals just how self-serving the last generation of those who claim to be of God really are. Such is the opposite of the true Christian life.

Just what does it mean to be a truly Heaven-bound follower of Jesus?

“So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.” Luke 14:33

The life of the Christian is about giving – giving our lives to Christ – dying to self so He can live and reign instead of us.

Beloved, Jesus is Calling You to Come and to Dine with Him …. but it must be His way, not yours and not the false way of the modern, apostate church which is calling you to worship at the altar of self-love (Psalms 119:104, 128). They are giving you a false message because they want you to life them, to buy their books, to patronize their church business.

The daily cross is essential if one is to follow Jesus Christ. There are no shortcuts.

Listen to the following words and see if this your attitude toward the Almighty:

“Thanks for what you’re giving me LORD but fooey on You and Your work and workers! I just received You Jesus in order to get myself out of hell but I don’t want to be bothered and inconvenienced with really having to obey You in this life. This is MY life. I’ll spend and squander MY money anyway I I I I I wish because III earned it. Never mind You hindering me from being my own god….”

Sound familiar? Sound like the Garden of Eden? “Ye shall be as (your own little) gods …”(Genesis 3) Were not Adam and Eve tempted to be their own little gods who did their own autonomous bidding? Yes and that’s the absolute antitheses of the Christ-glorifying life isn’t it?

Let me stop to say that this message is from God’s Word which has much to say about stewardship and why? Because the way we steward our dollars and earthly possessions is a direct reflection of the true priorities of our hearts. This message is about the Lordship of Christ in our personal lives. Christ calls us to lay down our lives and to truly follow Him in this wicked world. He never told us to go to church or to be a good church member or even a good person. No, fellowship with His body and the fruit of the Spirit are exclusively produced in the lives of those who simply obey His command to deny ourselves, take up our cross and to truly obey and follow Him (Luke 9:23-24; John 14, 15, 21; 15:1-16, etc.).

ARE you a giver OR are you a self-serving, self-preserving devil who spends all your money on the god of self? Don’t like my pointed question? Just move on – it’s that simple. No hard feelings at all. I’m not going to stop telling the truth because you got offended at the truth (Romans 3:4; Galatians 4:16). If you don’t like the truth it’s because you are against He who is “the truth” and whose“word is truth.” (John 14:6; 17:17) It’s only “if” we continue in His truth after being saved that we are His“disciples indeed.” (John 8:31-32) If this message offends you perhaps it only proves the point – that you are spending your life and your money on the one you truly worship – self. Repent or move on. Repent? Yes, and decide that God is going to get the first portion of your time and everything HE HE HE brings into your hands. Write out the very first check to Him (His work) – before you get paid. – “All things come of thee, and of thine own have we given thee.” (1 Chronicles 29:14)

Think about this: True Gospel laborers work with deep conviction and passion and don’t get paid predictably or even at all most of the times. Why? Because so many who claim to love Jesus refuse to obey Jesus with the resources Jesus brings into their lives because they have mortgaged themselves to the hilt and are spending their monies on the god of self (idolatry). The work of Christ is put last, because the LORD and His work are not important to most who claim to know Him who gave all and who gives them all that they have. To fuel His workers is to fuel His Word in the earth – going into the hearts of the men Christ died to save and to edify and equip to do His work (Ephesians 4).

If you are ready to be transparent before the LORD, keep reading……. This is what the LORD flooded my thoughts with this morning. Many of those whom He has saved have departed from Him and don’t even realize it. They are living to embellish self, feeding the lusts of their sinful fleshly desires instead of crucifying them (Romans 6). They claim to be saved and attend “church” or even read their Bible and pray, and yet are caught up in “the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.” (Mark 4:19)

ARE you honoring or are you dishonoring the LORD? Do you truly honor Him with the monies He alone is allowing you to bring in and for which you shall give account before His throne?

“Honour the LORD (HOW?) with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: 10 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.” Proverbs 3:9-10

Before we go any further, let me say that the Word of God will offend self-serving, self-worshiping devils who, upon hearing the naked truth straight from God’s Word, refuse to repent. These are mere actors – imposters/hypocrites! But it’s time to put our money where our mouth is or stop pretending.

“My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.” 1 John 3:18

“But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.” James 1:22

A hypocrite is an imposter, a counterfeit, a person whose actions don’t align with their mere profession. Have you played this part?

“He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. 7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.” Mark 7:6-7

Are We Ready to Get Real?

When our lives are truly given over to the LORD, everything we own becomes His in our hearts and minds and we are therefore givers – Not free-loaders or takers but givers. Love gives, lust gets.

“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

Self-love was prophesied to be overwhelmingly prevalent in the final days among those who have a mere form of godliness but deny the authentic rule and reign of Christ in their daily lives – the daily cross where we lay it all down (die) so Christ alone can reign (2 Timothy 3:1-6).

Please hit SHARE and let’s see the real and the genuine, authentic disciples separated from those who serve the god of self and mammon while feigning (faking) to be serving Christ who said “Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. 22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye (focus) be single (singly set on Christ), thy whole body shall be full of light. 23 But if thine eye (focus) be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! 24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. YE CANNOT SERVE GOD AND MAMMON.” (Matthew 6:19-24)

Are we so very deluded that we vainly believe that we can ignore the LORD and His work and not give account and suffer the consequences later? Are you so deceived that you believe the way you are stewarding your money that God gives you doesn’t point to the true priorities of your heart and reveal who you truly are? Jesus says differently. The rich man in Luke 16 refused to render practical, financial help to Lazarus, a poor man in his earthly life. There roles were eternally flipped upon dying (Luke 16:19-31). Think about it.

IS IT A SIN TO GIVE TO THE RICH?

Yes, giving to the rich is a sin. It’s pure waste.

Proverbs 18:9 says: “He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster.”

According to the above Bible verse, apparently laziness and wasting resources are equally sinful.

22:16 says: “He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches, and he that giveth to the rich, shall surely come to want.”

This verse above reveals that exploiting the poor for self-serving gain and giving to someone who is already “rich” are vile sins in the eyes of the Almighty. Think about how so many flock to give more money to the millions upon millions possessed by the wolves of our day – Joyce Meyer, Kenneth Copeland, Creflo Dollar, the Emergent church devils, etc.

“And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away.” 1 Corinthians 7:31

We are to use and to enjoy the things of this world without abusing or misusing them and reveling in them while not putting God first in our finances (Deuteronomy 8:18; Proverbs 3:9-10). The whiner replies: “Well doesn’t God want us to have nice things?” Define nice. Jesus defined it as necessities (Matthew 6:19-34). The rebel continues with “Well, is it a sin to have nice things?” Yes, if those things are your idols and if you are wasting all your money on the worship of self. That would mean you are an idolater and not fit to enter the kingdom of Heaven (Ephesians 5:5-7; Revelation 21:8). Many who call themselves Christ’s followers today have no resemblance of being like Christ was on earth – a minimalist. In fact Jesus lacked a vehicle, a place to sleep, and tax money. So many who claimed to be saved have little or no biblical stewardship wisdom or discipline and many of these run from any infringement of their “liberty” to be their own little lawless god who is free to spend and to waste and to squander every penny that comes into their hands. But Judgment Day is on the way.

Your personal stewardship is being watched by the LORD Himself (Mark12:41-44). … This is a very enlightening and insightful truth – What Did Jesus Sit and Watch?

Getting Around to It?

Never mind the excuse that you’re going to one day “get around” to it – “getting around to” obeying and honoring and worshiping God with the finances He gives you. WHAT IF God, next week, ceases the flow of money in your life and says “I may get ‘around to’ supplying more for you.” How would that make you feel? It’s time to pull the trigger – to do the truth before it’s too late.

The principles of God’s judgment upon us are made clear in Jesus words recorded in Matthew 25:

“And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. 41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: 43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. 44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? 45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. 46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.” Matthew 25:40-46

Does our refusal to be generous point to our lost state and eternal destination?

“Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. 46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.“ Matthew 25:46

What we do points to who we really are. Those who claim to be serving the One who gave all and yet do not give their lives to Him and give little or nothing to His work are only deceiving themselves because God cannot be mocked or deceived (Galatians 6:7-8). Your giving of your life or lack thereof sure does point to who you are and where you are going to spend eternity. This is exactly what we just read in Matthew 25 and also as Jesus Christ taught in the literal story of the once “certain (actual) rich man” (on earth) who has been incarcerated in hell for at least 2,000 years and will never escape. Will you follow him? Will you obediently choose to love the LORD above yourself and to therefore give up in worship to the LORD a portion of the money He gives you in order to continue to keep Him first and to clearly demonstrate that you worship Him and not self or money? (Matthew 6:24) Is Jesus truly your “first love” or are you a phony? If you are authentic and not fake, show Him you love Him by obeying Him.

Think about it: You didn’t hesitate to get into debt for the temporal trinkets of this fleeting sinful world, right? You had the wherewithal and the desire to spend and to get into debt for those fleeting trinkets and yet, you have been “going to get around to” obeying God with your finances for years, right? Why? Could it be because the LORD is a second class citizen in your self-serving life? Is that the root here? Is self-idolatry the root sin here?

“There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty. 25 The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself. 26 He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him: but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.” Proverbs 11:24-26

If you are authentically saved, stand up and be counted by obeying the One you say you serve. Show it. Do it! Talk really is cheap (1 John 3:18). Be a doer or face the truth that you are a counterfeit.

“And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.” 2 Corinthians 5:15

Word of faith message? No, this is a biblical message – a simple call to put our money where our mouths are and to cease being imposters, counterfeits. If you wish to be coddled in your sin – to be told you are okay in your sin – there are many who will accommodate your rebellion.

“I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; 2 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 sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears.” 2 Timothy 4:1-4

The fact that you never get a pointed message like this at your church clearly reveals that you are being seduced and deceived – You are being coddled in your sins and disobedience, never called to truly repent, to lay down your life and to obey God – and to thereby experience true, resurrection and an abiding, life-giving relationship with Jesus Christ (John 15:1-16). But how’s that going to end up at the Judgment? The Son of God solemnly warns:

“Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. 21 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. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” Matthew 7:20-23

A man who is a prophet is first a servant by the mercy of God and does not have to say it and should not be dwelling on a title but the serving function of the gift of God in him. Prophet is not a title and anyone touting it as a title is automatically to be considered false. Read what Jesus taught: Matt 20:24-28; 23:8-12. If God has placed a certain gifting in a man it’s only for the LORD’s glory and for the man it’s to be tools to humbly serve – Read 1 Peter 4:10-11.

So even though you’re not obeying God, you are refusing to repent and literally do His stated will, you are lukewarm, you are at ease in Zion, you vainly believe that you are still going to God’s holy Heaven while the fruit of your life reveals you are living in rebellion to Him?

“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

Our obedience or disobedience to the LORD’s commands truly reveals who we truly worship and are truly serving – God or self.

“And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. 4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. 6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.” 1 John 2:3-6

If you are not currently abiding in and therefore obeying Christ, of which your finances, your stewardship is a litmus test, it’s because you have backslid – you are not ready to meet Him who is “Holy, holy, holy.” (Isaiah 6:3; Revelation 4:8) Jesus Christ is lovingly calling you to “Come unto Me” and to lay down your life at His blessed feet in unreserved surrender.

Prayer: Holy Father, I admit that after You gave Your life for me, You gave all to redeem me and found and saved me, I have squandered some of the resources You alone brought into my hands. I have not honored You by obeying Your clear, repeated commands for me to be a generous giver and to give You the first portion of the income You are bringing into my hands. Please forgive my sin LORD. LORD Jesus, I am now crucified with You. I am no longer my own but Yours. I lay my life at Your feet. I here this moment surrender all to You my LORD. Into Your hands I submit my spirit, my soul, my body, my things, my income, my possessions, and my will. From this moment forward, I am all Yours. In Jesus holy name, amen.

The Gospel: What is It? [podcast]

Do We Understand the Gospel?

The book of Romans is called by some “The ABC’s of the Christian faith,” and for good reason.

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.” Romans 1:16-17

The words “gospel of Christ … is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth.”

The word “gospel” appears 104 times in the Bible, all in the New Testament canon. The bless-ed word “gospel” means the good news. And why is the Gospel good news?

The Good News, the Gospel, is good because of the bad news. The bad news is that fallen mankind is separated from a holy God via his sin. This is the bad news.

The LORD is “Holy, holy, holy” and cannot have relationship with any person whom HE does not make holy by washing them of their sins (Isaiah 6:3; Revelation 4:8). See also Psalms 5:4 and Habakkuk 1:13.

“All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.” Isaiah 53:6

Jesus came to take away the sins of the world so we can fellowship with God who is holy.

“The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” John 1:29

Our heavenly Father reconciled us back to Himself, out of a life of sin, through the precious blood of His only begotten Son Jesus Christ!

“God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.” 2 Corinthians 5:19

Read Romans chapter 3 in the King James Bible.

“As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: … 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” Romans 3:10, 23

The bad news is that we have “ALL have sinned” (Romans 3), and are all fully guilty. The impact, the guilt, and the shame is realized when we simply look at the Law of God—the 10 Commandments.

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS

Exodus 20

“Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” v3
“Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:” v4
“Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.” v7
“Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.” v8
“Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.” v12
“Thou shalt not kill.” v13
“Thou shalt not commit adultery.” v14
“Thou shalt not steal.” v15
“Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.” v16
“Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour’s.” v17

See Ten Commandments Evangelism [podcast]

The law of God convicts the sinner that he is just that—a sinner, separated from his Maker, “alienated from the life of God” (Ephesians 4:18). Then comes the Good News, the grace, the cross.

The law of God convicts. The Word of God rejoices the heart and enlightens the eyes.

“The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. 8 The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.” Psalms 19:7-8

The law of God convicts sinners, convinces them that they have sinned before a holy God, and brings them to Christ.

“Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.” Galatians 3:24

1 Corinthians 15:1-4 is a good place to begin, where we read that the Gospel is the death, the burial, and the resurrection of the LORD Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ died, was buried, and raised again “for the sins of the whole world” (1 John 2:2; 1 Corinthians 15:1-4). That’s the Gospel!

WAS JESUS loving? Yes. The Son of God who died on a cruel wooden cross for your sins was loving enough to warn you that you are going to eternal damnation if you don’t choose to love, worship, and serve Him—on HIS terms (Mark 9:43-49; Luke 12:4-5,etc.). John 3:16 informs us that God so loved the world that He sacrificed His only begotten Son to save you from sin and the lake of fire. Have you personally repented before a holy God and received Jesus into your life? Today is your day. If you are not 100% sure you are genuinely born again, go here first to Make Peace with God

Jesus Christ came as the sinless Son of God to die on a cross, be buried, and raised again from the dead to justify sinners (1 Corinthians 15:1-4; 1 Timothy 1:15). CHRISTOLOGY.

We have all sinned against our Maker. We have all lied, stolen, and used His holy name in vain, etc… and are in desperate need of His saving mercy which He gave us in and through Jesus Christ, who died for our sins, was buried, and raised again from the dead to justify us (Romans 5:6-11).

“For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 But God commendeth (displayed) his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. 10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. 11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.” Romans 5:6-11

Jesus is God and sinless, and He came and died, was buried, and rose again. This is the Good News or Gospel in that He “finished” or “paid in full” the price for our sin with His own precious blood and thereby conquered sin and death saving those who will repent and believe, from having to pay for their own sins in hell forever (John 19:30). Jesus Christ alone fulfilled to the detail over 300 prophecies given by God through His prophets and He alone was qualified to satisfy the claims of His Father’s justice to redeem fallen mankind. He shed His sinless blood for our sin and He alone can save.

1 Corinthians 15

1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;

2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.

3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

“The gospel” Paul preached was that “Christ died for our sins … he was buried …he rose again the third day.”

The apostle also tells us here that it is by THIS “gospel … ye are saved” and that you must “keep in memory” the truth contained in this blessed and only Gospel or you will not remain in Christ (John 15:1-6; 1 Corinthians 15:2).

Jesus Christ paid a debt He did not owe and we owe a debt we cannot pay. So, to repent and receive Christ appropriates this unspeakable salvation into our personal lives!

Jesus Christ is unique in all of history. He alone was sent from God the Father, died, was buried, and rose again to rescue mankind from the sin that separated fallen men from God. One writer puts it this way:

“The essentials of the faith include the gospel: the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus (1 Corinthians 5:1-4); the triune nature of God (1 John 5:7); Jesus is only begotten Son of God (John 3:16); the virgin birth (Matthew 1:20-25); salvation by faith through grace (Ephesians 2:8); and the timing and consequences of the second coming of Christ (Revelation 22:18-19). The Word tells us believing in the doctrine of Christ is essential in having both the Father and His Son (2 John 1:9). It is critical Christians know how to defend against doctrines of demons and deceiving spirits that are distorting and compromising the essentials of the doctrine of Christ (1 Timothy 4:1, 1 John 2:25-29).”

“The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” John 10:10 Jesus told us that Satan is the liar, the murderer, and the thief (John 8:44; 10:10, etc.).

Biblical Deliverance Prescription-Wholeness in Christ [podcast]

Dominating the Devil! (below)

The Heart of the Matter (below)

Biblical Deliverance and Wholeness Prescription:

PRAYER: Holy Father, please make me whole, make me holy, from the inside out, as only You can do! In Jesus’ Name. Amen!

Jesus specializes in healing broken hearts, broken lives, and making them WHOLE as He alone can do! THAT’S why He came! (Luke 4:18.)

Dear LORD Jesus, I love You. Please quicken my spirit in Your holy fear, make me alive in Thee afresh dear Savior. Please bless this life to be dead and buried that You might raise it up for Your eternal glory – both now and forever. In Jesus’ holy Name, amen.

Are you hearing the voice of God? If so, it will be proven in that your life following Jesus will of certainty include regular times of fasting and prayer. Jesus says “WHEN” and not “if” you fast (Matthew 6:16). A true oneness with Christ and the Father, absolute deliverance, broken yokes, refreshing, true rest, wholeness to the core, a poor in spirit heart, and the blessed place of brokenness and divine peace await you beloved of God (Isaiah 58).

Remember that whatever you FEED will FLOURISH and whatever you crucify will DIE, will DIMINISH. In Christ, there’s nothing in your life you can’t fast away – as you cry with John the Baptist, “He must increase, but I must decrease” (John 3:30). Read Isaiah 58 and do it God’s way. He promised to “break every yoke” (Isaiah 58:6). If you love Jesus supremely, you will obey Him and at any cost, get the sin out of your life (Mark 9:43-49). If you’re not willing to die, you will not enjoy the benefits that He desires to load you with (Psalms 68:19).

You are not serious about overcoming sin if you’re not yet setting apart regular times of fasting and prayer. | The Amazing Benefits of Fasting and Prayer

Fasting earns nothing from God. No, a time of fasting and prayer is the wise decision to declare “Jesus, I love You and I want You to consume my life!” … Saints, today is our day to drive our stake in the ground by scheduling a time of fasting and prayer (Matthew 6:16). Broken yokes, deliverance, wholeness, and fruitfulness for His glory await as Jesus manifests Himself in and raises up those that be bowed down (Psalms 145:14; Isaiah 58; 2 Corinthians 4:10-12; James 4:10).

The Untold, Untapped Blessings of Fasting and Prayer According to Holy Scripture

The only way sin will be forgiven and devils will leave a person is if they “submit” to God in true repentance (James 4:7).

ANYone who is willing to repent can be delivered! Do you know what James 4:7 says?

You will remain in bondage to sin, depressed, feeling lonely, defeated, miserable, unfulfilled, hurting, anxious, etc., until you truly submit your life to God. He’s going to allow all the evil to remain upon you and increase in your life – because He loves you and wants you to come home to Him which begins at repenting.

The only way to escape the evil one controlling your life is submission to God which begins with unreserved repentance which then results in abiding fellowship (James 4:7).

“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” James 4:7

Overcoming the enemy requires submitting to God. There are no shortcuts. “The children of disobedience” are under the control of the enemy of all souls, the cruel taskmaster himself, Satan (Ephesians 2:1-3).

The LORD avenges us of our enemies only when we submit to Him (James 4:7).

As long as we are not truly submitted to the LORD, Satan is in control of our lives. Memorize James 4:7.

“Praise ye the LORD for the avenging of Israel, WHEN the people willingly offered themselves.” Judges 5:2

“WHEN” we “willingly” offer ourselves to the LORD, He will bring His deliverance and wholeness into and through our lives!

“Willingly” offering ourselves is spoken of in Romans 12:

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” Romans 12:1-2

Needing deliverance? “Praise ye the LORD for the avenging of Israel, WHEN the people willingly offered themselves” (Judges 5:2).

WHEN we willingly offer ourselves to the LORD, He brings deliverance to our lives by ridding our enemies which first must pertain to the conquering, the crucifixion of “the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts” and in putting on of “the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness” (Ephesians 4:22-24; Colossians 3:9-10).

WHEN you make your move, abandoning the futile flesh, you can bet Satan is going to send you diversionary distractions! God is able as you continue to press into Christ, looking neither to the right hand nor to the left!

“Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil.” Proverbs 4:27

DEMONSTRATE to God that you are authentic-by laying down your life so Christ can reign!

Forgiveness and Inheritance

“To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.” Acts 26:18

The LORD wants to grant each of His children not only deliverance but wholeness!!!!!

WHEN we are fractured in soul, not made whole by our LORD, it will destroy our relationships. 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 is a divine prayer for wholeness!

“And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.” 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24

We just read that wholeness is our LORD’s will for us and He’s the only One who can make us whole – from the inside out! Oh, and the promise that He “will do it”!!!! What great confidence with which we can approach our Father!!!! in JESUS’ Name!

God is a good Father, perfect! He left nothing out of His Word that we need and TODAY is the day we apply His divine healing, wholeness balm/medicine in JESUS’ name! (See 2 Peter 1:3-4.) Wholeness is only, exclusively available to those who are truly in Christ!

Two Great Prayers for today:

“Father, in Jesus’ Name, please make me whole, from the inside out” (1 Thessalonians 5:23).

“Father, please make me whole, as You alone can do-spirit, soul, and body, in JESUS’ Name” (1 Thessalonians 5:23).

LITTLE BY LITTLE!!!! IF you are not completely delivered and made whole, join the club. Take encouragement in this truth: “By little and little I will drive them (your enemies!) out from before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the land” (Exodus 23:30).

Beware of wasting time with the false movements, preachers, and local churches of this apostate day who only feed the flesh instead preaching the original Gospel where Jesus and His holy apostles commanded that we die to self, lay down our lives in the fleeting world or we will perish (Luke 9:23-24; 14:33; 17:33; John 12:23-25, etc.). The self-serving person will never be made whole. Jesus only makes whole those who take in and adhere to His whole counsel!

A time of fasting and prayer is the cross in action! What day do you fast weekly?

Fasting weakens the flesh and prayer strengthens the spirit! Bam! Death, burial and resurrection in action!

EVERYTHING you need and desire is in Christ! It’s time to indulge! To “Delight”! (Psalms 37:4.)

The only way to get Satan out of your life AND BE MADE WHOLE IN CHRIST, is to repent for real – to submit your life to God (James 4:7). When you do, the LORD will make you whole! (1 thessalonians 5:23.)

Charles Pray writes:

“Yes Lord, just as a piece of fruit that is rotten starting from the inside and works its way out to the surface, where when you finally see it it’s too late to save it. Father, in Jesus’ Name, let our fruit be seen from the inside out. Cut out the evil rebellion LORD, we pray! LORD, please purifies us to the depth of our hearts that You might be glorified to use us, in Jesus’ Name, amen!”

ARE YOU being made whole in Christ for that relationship you are praying for? Okay You are PRAYING, but are you PREPARING?

“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” James 4:7

If you truly desire to be delivered from all oppression or possession of the enemy of all souls, you will read and heed this divine prescription – a guarantee for your liberty in Christ.

Present your body a living sacrifice – lay down your life (John 12:23-25; Romans 12:1-2).
Set yourself apart (Psalms 4:3).
Seek the face of the LORD in a time of fasting and prayer (Isaiah 58; Matthew 17:21 KJV only – the new perversions have removed this verse).
Repent of all known sin in order to shut out the enemy by cancelling his legal right to you (James 4:7).
As we submit ourselves to the LORD, the enemy will be cast out and kept out in Jesus’ holy Name (Mark 16:17; Acts 16:18; James 4:7; Matthew 12:43-45).
Ask God to baptize you with the Holy Ghost (Matthew 3:11; Luke 11:13; 24:49; Acts 1:4-8; 2:1-4, 38-39; 8:14-17; 10:44-48; 19:1-6, etc.).
Memorize Hosea 10:12.
Pour over James 4:4-10.
Read and do Isaiah 58.
Memorize Mark 10:27.
Now, once delivered, you must keep your house – temple – clean and clear of all sin and this will keep Satan out (Matthew 12:43-45).
This will keep him from having legal right to your life through sin (James 4:7).
Know that God is able and willing and desires to make you completely whole, set apart to Him, and free (2 Corinthians 6:14-7:1).
Liberty is in Christ and staying rooted in Him (2 Corinthians 3:17).
Those who obey the LORD’s truth are made free (John 8:31-32, 36).
God wants us to speak with Him. So, come before the LORD with “words” of repentance, denunciation of all idols, and placing all your trust – the whole weight of your existence – upon Him (Hosea 14:1-3).

Victory Over the Iniquities that Currently Drive You [podcast]

“Too many Christians blame their flesh on Satan and try casting it out. Never works. That’s why they don’t grow! Must crucify the flesh!” Karen Cochran Recently, a brother in Christ was pushing the fact that Genesis 6:5, 12 use the phrase “only evil continually” pertaining to mankind, all men. REPLY: Ask for yourself the important question: WHY did Jesus come to the earth? And from this moment forward, allow the Bible to answer that question …. Look for the Bible answer…… Why Jesus came to die for us and make us new creatures in Christ whereby OLD THINGS […]

Your Victory is in Jesus [podcast]

MAKING PEACE WITH GOD Are you ready to Pass from Death to Life? “And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.” Revelation 20:15 God wants to pardon you – before it’s too late. Jesus beckons you to “Come unto me.” — before it’s too late. (Matthew 11:28-30) “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 […]

Going Directly to the Source [podcast]

IF you desire to truly hear from GOD, read His own Word for yourself. King James Bible.

“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15

“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 that the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.” 2 Timothy 3:16-17

“Nourished Up” – like a wise virgin Heaven bound saint.

“If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.” 1 Timothy 4:6

On this biblical topic of fervency, of being “fervent in spirit”, one commentary offers the following:

“Nourished up in the words of faith” is a biblical phrase from 1 Timothy 4:6, meaning to be continually fed, strengthened, and built up by scripture, sound Christian teaching, and doctrine, much like food sustains the body, these spiritual words sustain and grow the soul, leading to spiritual maturity and a deeper walk with God. It signifies a deliberate, ongoing intake of God’s truth, which fosters growth, guards against false teachings, and fuels a believer’s life.” (Source?)

It’s one thing to have a mere human giving you encouragement and yet another thing to get your encouragement, your spiritual nourishment from God—directly. King James Bible.

Psalms 73

“Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart.

2 But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.

3 For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

4 For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm.

5 They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men.

6 Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them as a garment.

7 Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish.

8 They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily.

9 They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth.

10 Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them.

11 And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High?

12 Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches.

13 Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency.

14 For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning.

15 If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend against the generation of thy children.

16 When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;

17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end.

18 Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction.

19 How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors.

20 As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image.

21 Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins.

22 So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee.

23 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.”

Nourished Up and Enduring to the End [podcast]

Recently a dear brother in Christ related this testimony to me of our LORD’s work in his life: “I had a ‘back to Jesus’ moment after the election. As I was horribly disappointed in our country and the dividing of even my own friends, I was praying: ‘I’ve lost faith in my country, I’ve lost faith in my friends…’ then it hit me… I had put my faith in the wrong things. It’s so easy to depend on others. But now I am trusting only in my Lord and Savior.” “For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose […]

H.O.T. BIBLE STUDY [podcast]

“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15 Memorize 2 Timothy 2:15 today. Index card perhaps. Read it aloud over and over. YOU cannot personally know the ORIGINAL Gospel if you don’t study the naked truth of it for yourself beloved. KJB So very many today are deceived due to not studying God’s Word for themselves. They live for years with erroneous notions men told them. Instead of repenting and getting into the Word for themselves, many of them go to their graves having […]

Heaven’s Nourishment! [podcast]

Nourished Up and Enduring to the End [podcast] Just How and When is Heaven’s “Nourishment Ministered” to Christ’s Body? “If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.” 1 Timothy 4:6 The GOAL and aim of most messages today heard coming from “Christian” leaders does not have Christ as it’s Grand Subject. This makes it more than obvious that God’s Word is not being preached and that the numerous prophetic warnings from Christ and His […]
