The Fear of the LORD is to Hate Evil: Pride, and Arrogancy #shorts [video]

The wise virgins of Christ are preparing to meet their Great Bridegroom! All others will have the door shut in their face. Read Matthew 25:1-13.

Just as a good, sane man (bridegroom) isn’t going to attempt to drag some unwilling bride into a “marriage” against her will, so the Son of God, the Bridegroom, isn’t going to bring an unwilling bride, person into the bridal chamber of the New Jerusalem. The testimony of Holy Scripture reveals that one must choose to engage in a real, an honest relationship with Christ to know and be with Him eternally. Jesus used the word “abide” (John 15). This is biblical imagery. See Matthew 25:1-13; Revelation 21-22. God will not force anyone to love and serve Him, and all who don’t shall be shut out of His eternal bridal chamber, such as were the 5 foolish virgins who began with Him, espoused to the Bridegroom (Christ), and yet chose not to remain close to Him, became lukewarm and forfeited that relationship.

With no exception, ALL wise virgin believers are in the Word daily – fueling, having a fabulous feeding frenzy! (Matthew 25:1-13).

No one but YOU can choose to love God for you. Those not serving Him, literally, daily, do not love Him (John 14:15; 1 John 2:3-5, etc.). According to Jesus’ teaching, the foolish virgins are not allowed to borrow oil from the wise virgin saints who truly love and serve the Bridegroom, Jesus. These Christ-rejecting apostates will be shut out of the eternal kingdom, damned to hell irrevocably. Read Matthew 25:1-13.

Only those who are in the Word – daily devouring, meditating upon, and walking… are going to be with Jesus. All others He’s saved are daily rejecting him – the 5 foolish virgins who shall be shut out of the eternal bridal chamber with Heaven’s KING (Matthew 25:1-13).

The “little flock,” that is, Christ’s remnant, feed on God’s Word daily. Their lamps are full (Luke 12:32; Matthew 25:1-13). All others whom Christ saved in the past, are like the foolish virgins whom the Bridegroom will shut out of His eternal kingdom. Is your lamp full?…. Hint: If you have to go to man, go to “church” to get “fed,” that’s clear evidence that you are not personally seeking the LORD which would include at the top of the list, the daily study of His Word (2 Timothy 2:15; 1 Peter 2:2; Jeremiah 15:16; Job 23:12, etc.).

Antoinette Y. writes:

“He truly loves us and desires to help us in every way but He requires total surrender and obedience. That’s what most will not do. We erroneously believe we can live life the way we see fit and that we’re fine that way but God told us in Revelation 3:17, the true state of our being and it’s horrific. We should be crying out; ‘Oh Lord Jesus we need you desperately.’ We do. We’re not OKAY in the state we’re in. Our lamps are not filled. Our robes are stained with sin. We’re not ready to greet the Bridegroom. We’re looking in a rose colored glass because we’ve been deceived, fooled and tricked by reprobate, heretical preachers who only want our few coins. But we’re not innocent. God told us to study. We don’t. Knowing and rightly dividing God’s Word checks heresy at the door and will strengthen our resolve so that we cannot be deceived or defeated. God help us.”

Many today can be seen saying things like “I am ready to die for Jesus!” Or “I will never take the mark of the beast.” Keep in mind how Peter swore he’d never deny Christ and yet did “thrice” – 3 times (Matthew 26). Jesus then told us the only way to overcome and not deny Him: “Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak” (Matthew 26:41). Only those who are truly crucified with Christ now – learning the daily cross – will be ready and full of the grace of God to never deny Jesus (Luke 12:8-9).

Eternal securists, OSASers represent spiritual whoredom – they want Jesus initially to save them but they don’t want to be bothered with a real, daily relationship with Him – on HIS stated terms – denying self, taking up the cross daily and following Him, etc. (Luke 9:23-24). They are spiritual whoremongers who want to use women for their own self-serving gratification without entering into a permanent, a lifelong monogamous marriage. They want to be engaged/espoused to Jesus for the benefit of missing hell but don’t want a relationship with Heaven’s Bridegroom. They are spiritually adulterous. God cannot be mocked so He sees right through their sham and will reject them like the foolish virgins whom Jesus says He will shut out of the eternal bridal chamber (Matthew 25:1-13). They are lukewarm, they refuse to repent, they refuse to make up their mind decisively, deliberately and obey the LORD and so will be soon spued, vomited, rejected (Revelation 3:15-16).

“Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.” Hebrews 13:4

Jesus’ Parable of the Wedding Feast

Matthew 22:1-14

“1 And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said,
2 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,
3 And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.
4 Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage.
5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:
6 And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them.
7 But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.
8 Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.
9 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.
10 So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.
11 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:
12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.
13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
14 For many are called, but few are chosen.”

Only the WISE virgins are going to be filled with Heaven’s virtue and able to make it to the bridal chamber of eternal glory with Heaven’s KING! (Matthew 25:1-13). HOW does one get filled and stay filled?

“Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.” Matthew 5:6

If you are not seeking God daily, perpetually, you are empty and falling away. But today is the first day of the rest of your life!

“Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually.” 1 Chronicles 16:11

Those not excited for Jesus to return simply love this fleeting world and are not ready to meet the KING!

“He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.” John 8:47

A long time friend of mine, after realizing that….

“Thank you for the lambasting.”

“For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.” 2 Corinthians 2:17

“A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:” Proverbs 1:5

“Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning. 10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.” Proverbs 9:9-10

“The ear that heareth the reproof of life abideth among the wise. 32 He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding. 33 The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.” Proverbs 15:31-33

“Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities.” Psalms 141:5

PRAYER: Father I want the knowledge of the holy. I want to know and serve You on Your terms and no other. Please forgive my sins which include being hardened in heart, being full of pride and rebellion, being therefore unteachable. Break me dear LORD. Let the righteous, let Your people rebuke me as is needed. I want to know, love, worship, and be with You forever. In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

The Paramount Importance of Knowing God [podcast]

Many false prophets have written best selling books and taught sermons about your “purpose” and have become multi millionaires doing so. In their fake ministries it’s ALL about YOU, YOU are enthroned, not Christ! (Colossians 2:18-19). This is the spirit of antichrist at work – where someone, anyone or anything is exalted above JESUS! Yet astoundingly, these deceivers never even mention the paramount divine purpose that God sent His only begotten Son, the very reason the LORD created you. – To know Him! “Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.” 2 Timothy 3:7 Coming […]

Knowing the Word of God and also the God of the Word [podcast]

The highest priority of the true disciple is knowing God. So many strive to know God’s will. It’s only when you know God that you will know His will. We all know people who are now away from God. They backslid. They no longer serve Him as they once did. Well, were they truly serving Him, or the church? They had some kind of a departure from the local church they were so fond of and consequently have no semblance of a life with Christ presently. Could this be due to them putting their energy and affections into the local […]

¨Teach No Other Doctrine¨ [podcast]

One of the duties of an elder among God’s people is to teach and to guard the flock, declaring to all to “teach no other doctrine.” To Timothy, Paul says: “As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine.” 1 Timothy 1:3 “Charge some to teach no other doctrine – Than I have taught. Let them put nothing in the place of it, add nothing to it.” John Wesley “Gnostic heresy …. Their teaching led from spiritual pride to sensuality, for they accounted the […]

“Called, and Chosen, and Faithful” [podcast]

“These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.” Revelation 17:14

You are called and chosen of God…. yet are you faithful to Him?

Beware of any false teacher who is not stressing the biblical truth and necessity of faithfulness to the LORD.

Who’s going to be eternally with “the Lamb”?

We are all “called, and chosen” and yet only the “faithful” shall be with the Lamb in eternity.

“Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.” 1 Timothy 2:4

“The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” 2 Peter 3:9

Lots of people using the word “chosen” to make money by getting views on youtube. Yet few speaking of being truly “faithful” to God. Anyone who repents, receives Christ, and is therefore saved by Christ, and yet doesn’t endure to the end faithful to God, is going to hell (Matthew 10:22; 24:13; Colossians 1:22-23; Hebrews 3:6, 12-15; 10:26-39; Revelation 2:26, etc.).

This “chosen” word gets alot of attention because many wish to feel chosen by God and yet bring no reciprocating love back to God. And we all know that there is NO marriage without both parties loving on each other—powerfully. They want to feel special because their life is still all about them, not Jesus. They want God loving and choosing them but don’t have time to repent, lay down their life, and follow Jesus via the crucified life. They are all about self and not the Savior (Matthew 7:21-23; 25:40-45; Titus 1:16; 1 John 2:4, etc.).

“The LORD is with you, while ye be with him; and if ye seek him, he will be found of you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you.” 2 Chronicles 15:2

God does not remain in a relationship with any person who is walking in spiritual adultery.

Get that lie out of your system, now.

“But if any man love God, the same is known of him.” 1 Corinthians 8:3

There’s no doubt ever that God is going to be faithful to us.

The question is though: Are we, am I faithful and true to the LORD?

“It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him: 12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us: 13 If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.” 2 Timothy 2:11-13

The Bible word “chosen” is used often today as a buzz word, as if God chooses us because of how wonderful we are is perhaps the implication. Not.

“called”
“chosen”
“faithful”

“These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are CALLED, and CHOSEN, and FAITHFUL.” Revelation 17:14

No relationship exists without the recipient being “faithful.”

“Many be called, but few chosen.” Matthew 20:16

Jesus says His flock is a “little flock” (Luke 12:32).

“Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” Luke 12:32

Matthew 25 is all about God’s calling and choosing and then the eternal outcome of those who obey and those who don’t.

The five foolish virgins are just as “called” and “chosen” as the five wise virgins. What’s the difference? The five wise virgins are “faithful” and the five foolish virgins are not and are going to have the door into eternal glory shut in their face. Read Matthew 25:1-13.

In His parabolic teaching of the talents that were doled out to His workers, what did Jesus tell us lies ahead for those who are not faithful stewards?

Of the unjust, the unprofitable steward that received His gift of one talent but buried it, Jesus says: “And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth” (Matthew 25:30).

And then just a few verses down we read this…

“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

Many wish to deceive themselves into thinking they will enjoy an eternal relationship with the Great Bridegroom in Heaven and yet choose to refuse having a “first love” relationship with the Son of God in this time of testing…..

“But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.” Luke 19:27

PRAYER: Open to Psalm 51 in the King James Bible and pray with David.

Isaiah's Call and Commission [podcast]

What did the LORD reveal of Himself to Isaiah? What was the result in Isaiah’s life and ours? When the LORD appeared to him, the prophet Isaiah was shown his own depravity, his own wicked heart, his own unpreparedness. What was his response and how does this relate to us? Are you ready this day to say “Jesus please prepare and use me mightily for Your eternal glory! I love You LORD. I am all Yours! Please do Your deeper work in this life You gave!”? One must be prepared by God to be used by God. “If a man […]

Mary hath Chosen that Good Part [podcast]

Luke 10:38-42 Mary = loving relationship with Jesus, not just being busy with doing, with labor, with performing works such as what Martha was doing. First and foremost, Jesus saved us for relationship with Him and the Father (John 17:3). And here our Savior expresses that knowing, loving, adoring, and listening to Him are at a divine premium, they are most important to God. That’s what God desires – for us to delight ourselves in Him (Psalms 37:4). “Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.” Psalms 37:4 David’s brothers looked the […]

The First Love of the True Disciple [podcast]

The words “disciple”/“disciples” are found 273 times in the Bible, all in the New Testament canon with the exception of 1 appearance in the Old Testament (Isaiah 8:16). “Disciple” is married to the word discipline. An un-disciplined life reveals a gross lack of respect and rooting in the Person, the Word, and the cause of Christ and is an un-fruitful life. “And have NO ROOT in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word’s sake, immediately they are offended.” Mark 4:17 “They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, […]

How to be Ready for the Return of Jesus [podcast]

“Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.” Luke 12:40 Even if we could know the exact moment of Christ’s return, that’s not important in comparison to knowing Him and being ready for His return! Many who once knew Him will not be ready as Jesus taught in His parable of the 10 virgins of Matthew 25:1-13. WHATEVER it takes to be of a humble and contrite spirit, do it. There’s NO-thing you can’t fast out of your life. Read that again. Isaiah 58. Never mind the excuses, the “buts”…. […]

A Plea to Return to the LORD [podcast]

Widespread Corruption IMPORTANT: Read Matthew 24 and Luke 21 this week. Jesus foretold this would all be happening right before He returns! Jesus is coming. Get ready. A cursory introduction to Jeremiah 5-7. God’s people were in rebellion to Him and reaping what they’d been sowing (Galatians 6:7-8). Read, pour prayerfully over these chapters this week beloved. This message is designed to launch the God fearing saint to pour over this passage as they examine their hearts, their lives before Him honestly. “Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good things from you. 26 For […]
