“Steven Furtick is just another false prophet as most are in these last days. No gospel, no repentance, no blood of Christ. No cross. Building his own kingdom not the kingdom of Christ. In 2023 he was estimated to be worth 60 million dollars! The Apostles’ were willing to die for the sake of Christ. They were beaten, thrown in prison and were killed for preaching the gospel. That was the cost of discipleship! They didn’t live their best lives now! And live in million dollar homes. They gave it all up to follow Christ. Philippians 3: 10 Paul said, “That I may know him, and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being made conformable unto death”. Paul’s desire was to imitate Christ even unto death. Unlike these false teachers who are all about self and perverting the name of Jesus and His gospel. Galatians 1: 6-8″ Karen Cochran

“And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.” Colossians 1:18

Here Paul tells us how he was humbly positioned to serve the people and not to use them for his own self-serving purposes! Such is an extremely rare commodity in this late hour where God’s Word warned us that “evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse.” (2 Timothy 3:13)

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

Steven Furtick is a completely self-serving, self-worshiping, self-absorbed charlatan – a sinner who has never repented and been born again. He’s misleading many using the name of Jesus to build his own kingdom. The information on this page will make such abundantly clear.

Anyone who HONESTLY listens to Futick’s messages knows he never preaches Christ which means he’s simply using the name of the LORD in vain to build his own kingdom. If Furtick isn’t a false prophet, no one is.

GETTING A CLUE: IF a local entertainment center some call “church” is growing fast it’s only because the wolf in charge is peddling a false gospel, building a church busine$$ and is “accursed.” (Galatians 1:6-9)

RED FLAG: Churches that are full of young, unlearned, gullible people.

“Church” today has become a staged event with a cast, crew and light show to entertain the members and seekers.

Challenge: If Steven Furtick is preaching the original Gospel of Christ as did the apostles, please demonstrate that clearly. Show video clips or quotes where Furtick is preaching the blood of Christ, the need to repent and be born again, enduring to the end after being saved, persecutions, afflictions, the divinity of Jesus, eternal hell for all rebels, the cross of Christ and the one He commanded His followers to take up, the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, the return of Christ and what He stated concerning being ready to meet Him, etc…..

Furtick speaks all about himself and his church, never preaching Christ. Jesus spoke this way to the religious leaders of His day:

“O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.” Matthew 12:34

What’s coming out of someone’s mouth reveals exactly who they are.

Lots of false ministers hide behind very good music fronts. Hillsong, elevation church, etc.

The Cross of Christ in Ministry

“But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.” Galatians 6:14

“For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.” 1 Corinthians 2:2

When a man is truly “crucified with Christ,” (Galatians 2:20), Christ alone will be magnified in and through his life.

“For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake.” 2 Corinthians 4:5  

There is simply no separating the cross from false prophets…. They are the very ones leading millions to hell because they refuse to take it up and then preach it.

There is no Gospel of Christ without the cross!

Paul calls self-serving ministers “enemies of the cross of Christ.” (Philippians 3:18-19)

Furtick is A False Christ

“For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.” Matthew 24:24

A false Christ is an antichrist, someone who seeks to replace Christ, to usurp the honor due to the only nail-scarred risen LORD and Savior who is “the Almighty” Jesus Christ (Revelation 1:8). Jesus says:

“I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.” Revelation 1:8 

Only a blind man could miss the fact that Steven Furtick is all about Steven Furtick. Furtick is a slick talking salesman and its made him a multi-millionaire as he robs the affections of men’s from Christ and places them on himself (2 Samuel 15:6). Christ is not only not preached, upheld, and exalted, the Son of God is never the central subject of Steven’s messages. Furtick constantly reads himself (false Christ) into the few biblical texts he uses.

“Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, 19 And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.” Colossians 2:18-19

He does not preach Christ but rather constantly brings accolades to his “church.” There’s no cross or repentance in this man’s false gospel.

“I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: 7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.” Galatians 1:6-9

Steven Furtick is just another flamboyant preacher who is building a church busine$$ on the backs of those who refuse to gain their view of God straight from His Word (Psalms 119; 2 Timothy 2:15; 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:19-21, etc.). Furtick is possessed with demons and preaches fast and with much trickery in order not be detected. He slips in things and misuses Scripture repeatedly. Furtick’s audience is mostly gullible, biblically-illiterate young people. When you watch Furtick you will witness that the stage show is all about the performance of his preaching and not Christ and Him crucified (1 Corinthians 2:2; Galatians 6:14). Jesus Christ is not being glorified but rather maligned and misrepresented, as this sinful man builds his own empire using Christ’s name in vain. Notice and compare how Paul came to the Corinthians and what his motive was – “That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.”

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

Christ’s apostle Paul is our example and he didn’t stage a ministry to parade himself as a slick talking charlatan in cool clothes and a fit body to draw attention to himself. He warned us about such charlatans (1 Corinthians 2:1-5) and warns us of such wolves here….

“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 2:8-10

FALSE TEACHER STEVEN FURTICK CULT OF PERSONALITY ELEVATION CHURCH

BELOW: Okay you have to know the Bible verse he’s perverting in this short video. Watch, listen closely to the very last part of this video. Here’s the verse, it’s Romans 8:3: “For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:” Furtick slips in heresy by making Jesus out to be “a sinful man.”

Good insider video below and yet they should never refer to a wolf as a “pastor.”

BELOW: The Blasphemous Gospel of Steven Furtick by Perry Noble (Fighting for the Faith Chris Rosebrough. Notice how Steven Furtick never points to the Bible but rather his own books and messages.

Wolves Exposed

RECENTLY: A lady added me on social media, then sent me a personal message on messenger and boasted that she just bought one of Steven Furtick’s books. I sent her the link to this page to help warn her. Her response: She told me I was just jealous. My thoughts: WHY would anyone be jealous of a hell bound “accursed” wolf who will stand before the Almighty to give account for misleading millions? (2 Peter 2:1-3; Galatians 1:6-9)

The warlocks of the modern church movement include wolves like Bill Johnson, C. Peter Wagner, Bob JonesTodd White, Chuck Pierce, Lance Wallnau, Rick JoynerKenneth Hagin, Joel Osteen, Kenneth Copeland, Joseph Prince, and Todd Bentley.

What the Bible says about Effeminate Men [podcast] [shorts video]

What the Bible says about Effeminate Men [podcast]


60 second video – Homosexual Same Sex Attraction is Inordinate Affection #sex #sin #shorts


Effeminacy in Males Condemned – God Commands Men to be Masculine 

“Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit (act) you like men, be strong.” 1 Corinthians 16:13

No solace for sodomites: Dear sodomite sinner: True disciples of Jesus Christ will absolutely not celebrate your abomination, your effeminate ways, your evil, your sin. Condoning any person in their sin makes you just as guilty of that sinner in the eyes of a holy God (Proverbs 17:15; 27:5-6; 2 John 10-11, 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.” 1 Corinthians 6:9-10

AFTER POSTING ABOUT MEN NEEDING TO DEFEND AND PROTECT THE WEAK, ONE MAN ASKED “WHAT WORLD OR YOU LIVING IN?”

REPLY:

Are you born again? If not you are living in the world of death, darkness and Satan (John 8:44; 10:10, etc.).

Effeminacy in Males Condemned – God Commands Men to be Masculine

“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.” 1 Corinthians 6:9-10

What kind of gutless coward, pansy sits there when women, children, the elderly, the weak are being attacked?

“Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit (act) you like men, be strong.” 1 Corinthians 16:13

Anyone with homo lust in them, with an attraction to the same sex, is in sin, in a state of sin and separated from God. This is not only weird, it’s wicked.

HAVE to actually commit the act to be guilty? NO!!!! Read God’s Word closely and secure this verse of truth in your memory.

“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 

God looks upon the hearts of men and if a person burns in lust toward the same sex, such a person is a pervert, a person living in sin.

“the LORD looketh on the heart.”

If it’s in our hearts, harbored or burning, God counts it as sin, no different than doing it (Matthew 5:28; James 1:13-15). Memorize: “But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.” (1 Samuel 16:7)

Anyone with homo lust in them, with an attraction to the same sex, is in sin, in a state of sin and separated from God. This is not only weird, it’s wicked.

The LORD is greater than any sin, anything that presently plagues us. He requires honesty, repentance, and full confession of sin (Hosea 10:12; 14:1-2; 2 Corinthians 9:9-10; 1 John 1:9, etc.). | Fresh Start with God

A man who is “effeminate” is defined as a man who is acting like a woman. It is the perversion of the creative order of our Creator.

Bible Verses Related to Effeminate Men:

Deuteronomy 22:5  The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.

Leviticus 20:13 – If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

1 Timothy 1:9-11 –  Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, 10 For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind (sodomites, homosexuals), for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;

Sinful man, though he tries in utter futility, cannot, and will not ever change what God says – His coming judgment on all of the unrepentant who refused to come to Him through Christ for salvation.

“the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God” and who does Paul name as “the unrighteous”? “Effeminate.”

1 Corinthians 6:9-10 – 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 (sodomites), 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

Genesis 19:1-38 – And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground;    (Read Genesis 19.)

1 Timothy 1:10 – For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind (sodomites, homosexuals), for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;

Hebrews 13:4 – Marriage (one man, one woman) is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.

Leviticus 18:22 – Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.

Romans 1:26-27 – For this cause God gave them up unto VILE AFFECTIONS affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is AGAINST NATURE: 27  And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, BURNED IN THEIR LUST ONE TOWARD ANOTHER; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

Claiming to be gay, is a claim that they are indeed attracted to the same sex and have mulled those thoughts over well enough to don the title in their hearts. Intentions are everything whether in thought or acted out. One cannot serve two masters.” Unknown

Ezekiel 16:49 – Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.

Recently I heard a popular youtube “apologist” tell the crowd that having a same sex attraction is not sin. False.

“evil concupiscence” = secret desire for that which is forbidden by God.

Colossians 3:5 – Mortify (crucify) therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection (homosexual attraction), evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:

The soul damning sin here called “evil concupiscence” is having a secret sinful desire for that which God calls sin. Such is the case for anyone with a so-called “same sex attraction.” Such a person is a prevent in need of repentance before it’s too late.

Romans 12:2 – 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.

Mark 10:6 – But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.

Proverbs 31:3 – Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings.

There will be no homos in Heaven!

There is no such thing as a ‘gay’ Christian just as there is no such thing as an adulterous Christian. There are ex- ‘gay’ Christians or ex-adulterous Christians however. Identifying as ‘gay’ and Christian is a SATANIC doctrine, the work of devils. It’s so clear to see that this is a Satanic move to normalize sodomy in the Church just as it’s already been in the world as of late. 60 years ago open sodomy wasn’t even accepted in the world as much as it’s now being accepted in the Church. People wonder why our land is cursed more and more every day! This is just all so disgusting.” CJ

More Proof that Universalism is Running Rampant

MESSAGE RECEIVED FROM A SIN-JUSTIFYING FLAMER:

“Wow!! You are so wrong Todd! If they are homosexual, then they won’t remain that way! Who are you to stand in judgment like that? God loves everyone including the homosexual. He is changing hearts. He hates sin, but He loves everyone! I am saved Todd! I have the mind of Christ! I know the truth! Don’t let the devil use you like this. I pray for you, that God will open your eyes and heart to what is happening in these final hours. I like how you use the Word of God. Its sad that you twist it to fit your own agenda. ‘Above all things have fervent love for one another, for love will cover a multitude of sins.’ 1Peter 4:8 Love is the activator of everything in the kingdom of God. You have a religious heart just like the Pharisees. Why don’t you pray about it?”

REPLY:

You are openly ignoring that God is “Holy, holy, holy” and yet it never says He is love, love love…. Twice it says He is “Holy, holy, holy.”

“He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.” Proverbs 28:13

You are teaching universalism which says that God is love and therefore will in the end save every man, all men into Heaven. Heresy. God is going to damn most men.

“Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.” Matthew 7:13-14

Those who try instead of dying (to self) will lose all. Trying is not good enough when God gave us full access to His divine ability through the redemption provided by His only begotten Son. It’s only those who are “willing AND obedient” who will be saved into glory.

“If ye be WILLING AND OBEDIENT, ye shall eat the good of the land: 20 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.” Isaiah 1:19-20

So you are assuming that there can be a saved homosexual? Not (2 Corinthians 5:17-18). And such is the case here with Asbury. We are dealing with people who are openly, publicly, defiantly effeminate and burning in abominable lust (Romans 1:26-27). They are advertising and promoting this “abomination” of homosexuality lust, inordinate and vile affection for the world to see which means there is no true repentance. True repentance, 100% of the time, brings forth a changed life, a set apart life, a holy life.

“Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:”  Hebrews 12:14

You speak in respect to honoring men while you despise God as you pander to sin instead of the Savior.

“Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.” Matthew 16:23

Jesus makes it clear here that those who savor the things of men over the things of God are an offence to the LORD.

Let’s let God’s Word define what repentance looks like. When a person is truly “in Christ” which requires real repentance, there is a life that is changed.

“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;” 2 Corinthians 5:17-18

Any person not overcoming sin proves they love self and sin more than the Savior. Read 1 John 3 and Romans 6. If Jesus were truly their “first love” they’d do what pleases Him, not self.

“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

God is love and God is holy. He will love all rebels all the way into hell if they choose not to truly repent which will result in bringing forth fruit meet (fitting for, demonstrating) repentance (Matthew 3:7-10).

“Lie not against the truth.” James 3:14

WHO left you in charge? Since when do YOU think that YOU decide what is right and wrong? Since when do any of us decide what God says is sin and what He is going to do to all who die in sin? WHO do you think you are?

God is God, not you. The LORD says He is going to damn every effeminate man and homo to hell…. and you simply don’t care – because obviously you are full of self and could care less about anyone except yourself. God is “Holy, holy, holy” and unchanging, and sin separates men from Him – which ultimately means hell (Romans 6:23). We have no clue of the truth if we think God is going to overlook sin. Every time sin arose in His presence He vanquished it. Adam and Eve committed one sin and were rejected from His holy presence. Same with Lucifer and the angels. God is calling you to repent before it’s too late. You are bearing false witness against the Almighty and are under divine condemnation.

“Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.” Exodus 20:16

1 John 3

And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. 6 Whosoever abideth (remains) in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. 7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. 8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 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. 10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother. 1 John 3:5-10

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 character of your children tomorrow depends on what you put into their hearts today.” Liza Young

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!
