SOMEONE NEEDS THIS TODAY ! BEWARE OF THE CONSEQUENCES OF SIN. NO MORE EXCUSES ! ‘YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW.’ DO NOT PLAY DEADLY GAMES WITH SIN.

Each day we say or do things that will produce good fruit or bad fruit which are called ‘consequences for our actions’! Before you act or speak ask yourself, ‘What will the consequences of my actions be?’ Even a seemingly ‘small sin’ must be seen for what it is which is disobedience to a holy God ! One of the realities of sin is that it spreads like leaven. The consequences of your envy, bitterness, gossip, lying, greed etc. go far beyond yourself and hurt, harm and damage others.

1. Sin is rebellion against God. Sin is evil in his sight. Sin is awful, it is wicked, it is filthy and wants to control you. Sin is a dictator which makes false promises and then rules you and makes you miserable!
Hebrews 3:12-13 ‘Take heed brethren,lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief,in departing from the living God. But exhort one another daily,while it is called Today, lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.’

2. You cannot afford to invite one sin into your life and allow it to stay there as a permanent guest because it will take over the house. Enslaving habits to any sin must be put to death by the power of the Cross applied by the Holy Spirit and with your efforts in resisting it and saying ‘no more.’  Romans 8:12-13′ Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. For if we live after the flesh, ye shall die, but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.’ The word mortify means, ‘to put to death.’
People who play games with sin need to examine their lives to see if they are in the faith.

3. Psalm 7:14-16 ‘Behold he travails with iniquity and hath conceived mischief and brought forth falsehood.He made a pit and digged it , and is fallen into the ditch which he made.His mischief shall return upon his own head..’Many fall into a ditch of their own making and will not accept responsibility for their wrong actions.

4. You pay a price for your actions ! God will not stop a person from doing something foolish , but He allows that person to experience the consequences of his foolishness! Every action leads to results or consequences.When you sow to the flesh ‘you will’ reap corruption. You must say no to the desires of the flesh and not indulge the flesh.

5. You can repent and be forgiven but that does not erase the harmful effects and consequences of your sin ! Read the story of Achan’s sin in Joshua chapter seven. Beware of making excuses for your conduct by saying it will not harm or hurt anyone!

6. The bad consequences of sin should be a powerful reminder not to give into that same temptation to sin ! You may ‘sin in the dark’ but be assured it will affect many people ! Be sure your sin will find you out !

7. Galatians 6:7-8 ‘Be not deceived :God is not mocked:for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall shall he also reap.For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap CORRUPTION ,but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap LIFE EVERLASTING .’
The simple fact is that if we sow a lifestyle that is in direct disobedience to God’s revealed Word, we ultimately reap disaster.

8. What seeds are you sowing in your life today ? If you sow to satisfy the flesh you will reap a harvest of decay and death. Mocking God is serious ! We need to ask ourselves, ‘Am I mocking God in in area of my life? ‘Seeds grow and take root so be careful what you sow into your life ? Is it of the flesh or Spirit?

Warned and Safe [podcast]



“By the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.” Psalms 17:4

PWT = Preach, WARN, Teach

“Whom we PREACH, WARNING every man, and TEACHING every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:” Colossians 1:28
Did you catch what the apostle Paul did to prepare the church to meet Christ?
  • Preach
  • WARN
  • Teach

Lynne Parker writes:

“I truly believe Christians will be tried by the Word in this hour. There is no more riding the fence or taking a neutral position. God Himself will place us all in a position to stand or fall according to the Word. “Deception” and its sister “delusion” are gripping the Body of Christ – like a dark cloud it is covering the land. The false dominion (NAR) theology and signs and wonders movement has effectively conditioned multitudes to forsake the authority of God’s Word and embrace their subjective feelings as guidance in discernment concerns. But in these latter days only those who divorce their feelings and trust only in God’s Word and have developed a love for the truth will overcome the devil’s schemes. Sadly many will be lost – it’s unfolding right before us.”

Teach the Bible [podcast]


JESUS IS COMING AND THE TRUE BODY OF CHRIST IS “HOLDING FORTH (BOLDLY DECLARING) THE WORD OF LIFE”

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

WHEN you speak God’s Word, you are speaking divine authority.

“These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.” Titus 2:15

“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

“That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.” Philemon 1:6

“Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.” Jeremiah 15:16

Nourishing the Body of Christ

“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

“All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.” Proverbs 15:15

The best way to learn is to teach.

HOW well do you know your way around in God’s Word?

Jesus knew His way around God’s Word. Do you? If not, why not?

“And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he FOUND the place where it was written,” Luke 4:17 

The disciple of Christ must daily and diligently search, study, and learn God’s Word in light of His Great Commission command to us to teach His Word to others (Matthew 28:18-20). Our ability to minister is in large part based on our knowledge of God’s Word or the ability to navigate God’s Word (King James Bible).

MAKE THE DIFFERENCE – OBEY GOD, “PREACH THE WORD.” (2 TIMOTHY 4:2)  

Tip: Always know WHERE you are reading in God’s Word – chapter and verse. You’ll be surprised at the repertoire that begins to build, making you, like Jesus, a good navigator of our LORD’s Word as you preach His Word (Luke 4:17).

Have you ever pondered why there is little or no Scripture being used when listening to someone pretending to be speaking about the LORD? You should wonder (Matthew 7:16, 20; 1 John 4:1).

“Preach the word” is the divine mandate, command (2 Timothy 4:2).

Let us cease to pretend that we represent the LORD when everything we say isn’t coming straight out of His Word. Read that again please.

“If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles (written Word) of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.” 1 Peter 4:11

Think God is calling you to serve? Good. If He has saved you, He has called you (Ephesians 2:8-10; 4:7). Get lost in His Word every day (Jeremiah 15:16). Read it (Revelation 1:3). Study it (2 Timothy 2:15). Memorize it (Proverbs 4:4). Meditate upon it day and night (Joshua 1:8; Psalm 1). THAT’s your prep for ministry, not going to an antichrist seminary. Jesus inducted you into His school of the Holy Ghost and Word the moment He saved you.

“As I was listening I was thinking of Paul. Who was a very educated man in the law. But after he was saved he spent three years being taught exclusively by the Lord Jesus Himself. And he says he “conferred not with flesh and blood.” But he was taught “by the revelation of Jesus Christ.” (Gal 1:12-18). All of us should be taught by the Lord in His Word and not learned through mere men or books. But by a direct revelation from the Lord Jesus Christ! Jesus is The Word of God (John 1:1, Rev 19:13).” Karen Cochran
