Enduring Sound Doctrine [podcast]


Enduring Sound Doctrine

Enduring “sound doctrine” Reveals that You are following Jesus, you are abiding in Christ, enduring to the end, and therefore you are not falling away… as God’s Word prophetically foretold that many would (Matthew 24:8-13; 1 Timothy 4:1-2, etc.). “Sound doctrine” reveals Christ, the perfect, permanent portrait of God!

Does rejecting, neglecting to learn and know God’s Word bring blessings or cursings on our individual lives?

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law (Word) of thy God, I will also forget thy children.” Hosea 4:6 

Regrettably, most men know more about sports, about the things of this fleeting world, than they do the Bible. Lack of knowledge of God’s Word, of His precious Precepts, is individually, intentionally induced ignorance. Many who falsely claim to love God and be saved also refuse to endure, hold themselves accountable to sound doctrine – across the board, as in the whole counsel of Holy Scripture (2 Timothy 2:15; 3:15-17; 4:2-5). God isn’t important enough to them to embark on a life long diligent daily study of His bless-ed precepts (Psalms 119). In other words, they have rejected Christ, are serving the god of self, and are hell bound (John 5:39-40; 8:47; Colossians 3:16; 2 Timothy 3:1-7; 1 Peter 2:2).

All who are not “valiant for the truth” prove they are God-less antichrists (Jeremiah 9:3).

“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; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.” 2 Timothy 4:2-4

Did you catch verse 2 above? First off, those who are enduring sound doctrine do not sit under, do not patronize nor support, do not bid Godspeed to men who aren’t authoritatively preaching the Word, the whole of it, including the hard truths of the LORD such as repentance, the crucified life (the cross), judgment, hell, losing one’s life in this world, living as a giver instead of greedy and covetous, the lake of fire, the essential of personal holiness, etc.

Biblical Fact: You will never be happy till you stop, drop down on your knees and face, in true surrender, and become a servant 24/7/365 (Luke 9:23-24; 14:33; 19:27; Philippians 2:3-5). Anyone promising happiness, fulfillment, or God’s blessings outside of the biblical cross prescription, a crucified life, is an absolute fraud. How long shall you follow lies and liars? Isn’t it time for you to repent for real, and get right with God – before He casts your wicked counterfeit soul into eternal fire?

The cross message of Christ and His holy apostles is not a novel concept, idea, or mere suggestion but rather it is a non-negotiable essential component of the original Gospel.

The reason so many don’t take sin seriously and sit under sin-justifying wolves in sheep’s clothing, is because they do not fear nor take God seriously. Then they attack the true messengers of Christ who are declaring that God is holy and He requires non-negotiably that anyone who will know and be with Him eternally cut off occasion for all sin as Jesus commanded in Mark 9:43-49 KJB…… They talk about grace but only in the respect that their sins were initially forgiven, yet never in respect to divine grace being the divine influence and enablement in their daily lives to overcome all that displeases Him – as they worshipfully with great gratitude deny self, take up the cross, follow, and abide in Jesus (Titus 2:11-14; Luke 9:23-24; John 15:1-6, etc.).

The counterfeit forsakes sound doctrine and turns to “fables.” In other words, moral cowards refuse to face the truth head on and so they turn to story-telling wolves in sheep’s clothing (Matthew 7:15).

You must make the decision that you are going to “endure sound doctrine.” In other words you are going to face the truth of God like a real man – in true repentance, ridding your life of all-every trace-of that which defiles you in the eyes of a holy God before whom you shall soon stand to give full account of your life, of every thought, motive, word, and deed (Mark 9:43-49).

Do you turn TO or FROM sound doctrine – the doctrines of the original Gospel given us by Christ and His holy apostles and on record for all in the Bible? Including that you must lay down your life in crucifixion, to deny the self-life, take up the cross daily, and follow Jesus (Matthew 10:38-39; Luke 9:23-24; Romans 6; Galatians 2:20; 6:14, etc.).

When one evades the message of the cross, He is entertaining the spirit of antichrist and migrates to the “MANY false prophets” Jesus and His apostles foretold would come in this last hour and “deceive MANY” (Matthew 24:11; 1 John 4:1-3).

First, let us recognize that most claiming to be representatives of Christ today never mention the cross and when they do, it’s partial at best and brief. Yet, there’s no other way to follow Jesus than the way He plainly prescribed – “And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. 24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it” (Luke 9:23-24).

“Whatever keeps me from my Bible is my enemy, however harmless it may appear to be.” AW Tozer

Beware of the “don’t put God in a box” deceivers. It’s a bunch of witchcraft. Anyone who uses the “put God in a box” deception, is simply looking to define Him anyway THEY wish, outside of what His Word clearly states. They are moral cowards who do not fear the LORD and are full of self while they use His holy name in vain by putting His name on things that violate the final divine authority of His Word.

If something pretends or is said to be of God and yet isn’t aligned with God’s Word, it’s to be rejected. While God’s Word reveals that He speaks to His people at times by way of dreams, visions, prophecy, etc., the written Word is the primary way He leads His sheep and New Testament church. The written Word is “the MORE sure word of prophecy.” He said it’s more sure, more divinely authenticated than the literal audible voice of God speaking (2 Peter 1:12-21).

ANY person who looks to people like Dr FILL, any of the NAR devils, any Word of Faith fraud, or any other mere mortal, for life advice, needs to repent and get saved. When you do, God’s WORD will be the final divine authority of your life (2 Timothy 3:16-17).

The LORD defines Himself in His Word, period. Anyone teaching outside of His Word or contrary to it, is making a god in their own corrupt sinful image.

“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

Are you in God’s Word daily, or have you backslidden?

Anyone not seeking God daily has Him as a mere hobby, has rejected Christ (Luke 9:23-24; Revelation 2:4-5; 3:15-16).

“Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?” Galatians 4:16

The last thing we need is just another wolf spewing out more watered down, fake “bible” ear-tickling speculations and musings all in the name but not in the truth of Jesus Christ.

“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.” 1 John 4:1

False prophets ….. isn’t that nearly all we have in the modern church world?

The LORD has and is calling out a remnant people who refuse to cower or compromise His holy truth. They have prayed for His holy fear to fill their bowels and their consciences are captive to and heart constitutions made out of His pure Word.

The day we cease preaching the full and whole counsel of God – Genesis to Revelation – will be the day you, beloved of God, should depart from us. If we or even an angel from Heaven (not hell) preach anything different from or lacking the contents of the original Gospel, recorded in Holy Writ, “let him be accursed.”

Any person not endeavoring to preach the whole counsel of the original Gospel of Christ is perpetrating “another gospel” which is a false gospel and is “accursed.”

“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. 10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.” Galatians 1:6-10

The true disciple of Jesus is “valiant for the truth” (Jeremiah 9:3). He’s an ardent, a diligent, prayerfully meticulous student of Holy Scripture, clinging unflinchingly to the truth of God, declaring with the apostle Paul “Let God be true and every man a liar” (Romans 3:4).

God’s Word is largely made up of hard sayings and yet, most ministry today simply extracts, siphons out His promises intentionally leaving out the divine conditions in order to tickle the ears of their prey and build their own ministry name, earthly kingdom.

EXAMPLE OF MESSAGE RECEIVED:

“Don’t you think that your topics are too harsh?”

REPLY:

The important, the correct question is “Are these topics, is the content of this site BIBLICAL?”

As I look at this mix…. It simply communicates how this outreach is unique…. Not ear tickling.

At the time of receiving this latest email of this type, here is a screen shot of the latest posts. Take a look, then we’ll talk about it.

“Preach the Word”

“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; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.” 2 Timothy 4:1-4

If those “not valiant for the truth” are not offended, we are not preaching the truth (Jeremiah 9:3). Truth is only hate speech to those who hate truth. Men-pleasers tickle ears for their own self-serving agenda. True disciples speak the naked, raw Bible truth relentlessly – “in season, out of season.”

The goal here is never to see how many we can please or draw in…. no. God is reaching for His REMNANT which is a “LITTLE flock” (Luke 12:32).

Most who claim to be Christians are not of the cross-bearing remnant (Is. 37:31).

There’s nothing in this world, on this earth, that will be glamorous in following Jesus. Christ’s disciples are not celebrities but rather His servants. Yet the glam of God is coming to all, to every born again disciple who follows Jesus on His stated terms – to the end (Matthew 10; 24; 1 Corinthians 2:9; Revelation 21). Are you the devil’s dupe that is forfeiting the divine dividends coming to His true saints,  His “little flock”? See Luke 12:32.

Enduring sound doctrine is a choice.

“Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.” Luke 6:26

God is calling His remnant to sharp, fiery, deeper content, not the typical shallow, surface level, ear-tickling allurements being falsely presented as being Christian.

“For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.” 2 Peter 2:18

Paul was concerned that the believers at Colosse would be seduced, enticed into falsehoods which are usually perpetrated by ear-tickling wolves.

“And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words. … 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.” Colossians 2:4,8

Wolves entertain goats.

True disciples of Jesus feed His sheep.

We know who the true sheep are by their enduring of sound doctrine. To “endure” means to “hold oneself personally accountable to” (2 Timothy 4:2-4).

The height of delusionment….

To those who ignore the truths of the Gospel their fake pastor intentionally ignores and refuses to preach… Yet they still think they’re going to be with the One who spoke those truths, those conditions…. Hell awaits. Repent now.

The Remnant of Christ’s Elect are Gluttons for the Truth

Here’s the latest messages sent to the ministry by those who frequent this ministry site….. this is a sampling of the voice of the remnant:

“Love the book ‘I die daily‘ and podcasts. It’s very powerful praise God! It’s very thorny meaning it cuts, pierces, and punches but that’s the only way to grow. Jesus took my strength, my $, my work, my pride, and showed me not only am I nothing without Him, but that those things were above Him in my life. They were gods in my life above Jesus, Brother. And I didn’t even know it! Pain equals change I’m finding. God is good. I’m fed, my bills are being paid, and I’m out of work. God is good. Don’t get me wrong, I’m broke with little margin of error but I’m super blessed! Jesus has stressed upon me that we are running out of time, to get this right. So it’s now or never and to not just myself only but to help love and feed others for what’s about to come. Judgment Brother! Keep going ! Our King He is COMING !” Derek

“I praise God for your life brother Todd. Really appreciate your podcasts. It has help me on my Bible studies. Thank you brother. May God continue to bless you abundantly!” Marcus

“Hello Brother Todd. I’m daily reading the book you gave me ‘I die daily’ and listen to a daily podcast. It’s helping me and a huge challenge I need daily.  I am thankful for Jesus and you and your family and team!  God put me on the sidelines with this freak injury for a few reasons and its very humbling but I’m learning with all this free time now. When I send my offering to ”safe guard your soul ministry” I send a gospel tract so you can read it and give it too someone. I thank God for this ministry and its very important that it continues. It is making a huge impact especially where we are at in history. With what little time that is left as we know it here on earth! Don’t ever quit, Keep going! Praise God. ” Derek

“That’s why I call on you Todd. You know right where scriptures are. I remember listening to your radio program years ago. I never heard anyone give so many scriptures like you. Thank you for being here. Back then, I had to work then and get up at 4AM. I needed to go to bed earlier, but the program was so good.” Sharon

“You are a spiritual father I never had. My gratitude to you cannot be worded. Your ministry has to keep going, and if I can help, I will. After reading ‘Authentic: Disciple of Jesus‘, which is a superb book, I knew I had to get more of your work. People praying for me? I can’t believe it.” Jay

“Amen! The Cross life changes everything! Praise Jesus our only hope.” Derek

“I want to start on living as a Christ Crucified and Sanctified life. Any help or lessons would be greatly appreciated Brother Todd. I already have a copy of Jimmy Swaggart’s King James Expositor’s Study Bible.” Brother Charles. and Chastity Pray

“I just received the books last night and wanted to share the joy of confirmation that arose in my heart when I opened to the introduction of ‘Raised Up‘ and found the very scripture that I prayed throughout 2020 and became my eulogy. Ps.86:10-13 And yes, as you told whomever it was that wrote you about the title ‘I Die Daily,’ the ‘healing’ is the resurrection. Christ instruction to me: Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him, Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled. Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding. Prov. 9:4-6 Thank you brother for being obedient to the Lord of our salvation, I expect to find much treasure to help in my cross-walk in reading your books. May God continue to bless you and anoint you to die daily with Christ.” Jon

“Thank you brother … it was humbling and makes me want to get closer to God.  I cherish this ministry and believe the hand of God is on it. Jesus is wonderful and I am blessed even in affliction He is so good to me. He spanks those He loves I got to remember that. Keep going brother!” Derek

“Brother Todd. I had a phone call the 28th of this month. The message said I need to talk to you please call me back. I called and the man answered and said I am calling about your program. He was saying that he cried all the way through it. I have a ladies ministry and that’s where he heard it. He told me he was a bad person in his life and wanted to learn how to be a Christian. I shared the Gospel with him from the back of the I Die Daily book and he has prayed with me to receive Jesus Christ as his Lord and Saviour. He asked me what to do with his drugs and I said get rid of them. He flushed them down the toilet with me on the phone. He is overjoyed! I am so humbled and blessed the Lord led him to call me. Thank you for being so obedient to the Lord and sharing the true gospel so I could learn how to share it with him. He has called me for the past 2 days and he is excited about the Lord. I cannot say how thankful I am to have helped this man find our Lord! I bought him a Bible and a Bible cover, some pens, pencils highlighters and a prayer journal. Proverbs 11:30.” Dana

“I read Matthew 10 this morning. Powerful gospel truth! I can definitely relate to this one I’m rejoicing at the rejection as Jesus said you will be hated by all nations for my name sake . We call him Savior for a reason. Thank you Todd for all you do for the Kingdom of Heaven your definitely a blessing to our family. We love you Brother.” Cassandra

“Again, WOW, little by little things become more clear. I am now realizing that it seems everything we experience here on this earth is explained in that Holy book. I am so blessed that God put me in contact with you Brother, I thank you for your faith and guidance as I come closer to Jesus daily. I am already looking forward to speaking with you this coming week. Love you Brother,” Jeremy

“Praise God for this ministry. Keep going, you are in the will of God and we need this fear of God daily!” Derek

Remaining in “the Doctrine of Christ”

Enduring to the end, and continuing in sound doctrine!

“For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. 8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. 9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. 10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: 11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.” 2 John 7-11

Christ taught that these sins He named defile a man…. which plainly means they are not in right standing with God and hell bound unless they repent before it’s too late.

Not believing God’s Word means one is not a Christian (Matthew 7:16, 20; 2 Timothy 3:10, etc.). No such thing as a Christian who does not agree with God’s Word (John 8:47). Every person who dies as a fornicator, liar, adulterer, idolator, covetous, greedy, worldly, murderer, etc., is going to hell irrevocably (Mark 7:20-23; Galatians 5:19-21; Revelation 21:8, 27; 1 Corinthians 6:9; 1 John 2:15, etc.).

Any person who rebels against the teachings of the LORD, does not know the Author of the Bible and is a rebel in need of repentance before it’s too late. Read John 8:47 closely. What did Jesus say? What did the Son of God separate between?

PRAYER: Holy Father, I come to You now in Jesus’ Name. Please circumcise my heart. Cut away all the evil, the fat, the compromise, and please make me to be Thy humble, honest, sincere, authentic servant. Unite my heart to fear Thy name, O LORD, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Fruitful Life. Fruitful Evangelism. [podcast]


The Life God Blesses to Bear Fruit for His Eternal Glory

A fruitful life for God’s glory involves first being genuinely born again, abiding in Christ via the crucified life, bearing spiritual fruit—such as Christlikeness in character, good works, and evangelism—by remaining in vital union with Jesus, the true vine (John 15).

“Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.” John 15:16

JUST as Jesus multiplied the little with the boy who gave the loaves and fishes, so He does with our efforts. Jesus multiplied that little and fed 5,000 men, and that doesn’t count the women and children present. Try Him.

“O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.” Psalms 34:8

“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

God blesses the lives of His faithful saints. His faithful saints seek His face continually.

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

God prospers us according as we seek His face and stay upon Him. Of king Uzziah king of Judah, God’s Word says:

“As long as he sought the LORD, God made him to prosper.” 2 Chronicles 26:5

At times in this life there are season of uncertainty, where our vision may not be clear. We must “stay upon” the LORD.

“Who is among you that feareth the LORD, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of the LORD, and stay upon his God.” Isaiah 50:10

“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
12  Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.
13  And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
14  And I will be found of you, saith the LORD: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the LORD; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive.” Jeremiah 29:11-14

“But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.” 1 Corinthians 15:10

“Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.” Ephesians 3:20

“And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work.” 2 Corinthians 9:8

We’ve never been so reminded of this as of the miraculous events of late where beloved brother Juan dropped some plastic water bottles that hit me in the feet. Only God could have orchestrated this collision of Juan’s life and mine.

“The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.” Psalms 37:23

Ask Him.

Recently brother Stacy Strother reminded me that God simply wants us, His people to be available, to pray and watch Him work!

“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16  He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 17  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18  They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. 19  So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. 20  And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.” Mark 16:15-20

It has been wisely stated:

“Show me a man’s prayer life, his life of prayer or lack thereof, and I will show you who that man truly is and who and what he loves most.”

All who are zealous for the LORD are zealous about His work, to do it. Not build a church, but to see Christ work in the hearts of men—to strengthen and equip His body and convict and save lost souls to Himself.

One source notes:

“Evangelism is the act of sharing the Christian gospel—the ‘good news’ of Jesus Christ’s life, death, and resurrection—with the aim of inviting others into a relationship with God. It is considered a core mission for believers to spread this message of salvation, hope, and love, often stemming from Jesus’s command in the Great Commission.”

“The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.” Proverbs 11:30

YOUR PRAYER: Holy Father, in Jesus’ name, unite my heart to fear Thy name. Do your work in and through my life. I am all Yours. Maximize the fruit produced to Your eternal glory. You must increase but I must decrease. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Washed. Sanctified. Glorified. [podcast]


“Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.” John 13:8

Jesus’ true bride is known in that she is making herself ready for Him.

“Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. 8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.” Revelation 19:7-8

“This morning I read Psalm 45. Titled the Kings marriage. The story of the King and His bride. This is a beautiful picture of the marriage supper of the Lamb in Rev 19:7-9. The Bridegroom is adorned in glory, majesty, righteousness and truth. Sitting in His royal throne. Then enters the Bride. Holy, without spot or wrinkle. Wearing the righteousness of Christ. And Jesus says, you are in thy Father’s house and He desires thy beauty and worship. Wow! Because she is wearing the beauty of the Lord (Psalm 27:4). His attributes. And she is wearing gold. Fine gold because she has been tried in the fire of affliction. And she is one of the five wise virgins who is invited to enter into the King’s palace. What a glorious picture of all who make themselves ready and are clean and white before their King Jesus! Alleluia!” Karen Cochran

The person who repents, puts their faith in Jesus Christ, and is saved, and continues rooted in Christ, continuing/abiding in Him, will confess any sin committed and be perpetually transformed by Him (Proverbs 28:13; 2 Corinthians 7:1; 1 John 1:7, 9; 3:4-10).

Many have been misled. Jesus invented the term “FALL AWAY” (Luke 8:13). The Son of God does not lie. If falling away isn’t possible, why did Jesus say it is possible? Jesus is returning for those who are looking for Him by the way they live.

Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26 that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 that he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.” Ephesians 5:25-27

Only those hearing and obeying God’s Word are being washed by it.

“So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto THEM THAT LOOK FOR HIM shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.” Hebrews 9:28

“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. 11  And such were some of you: but ye are WASHED, but ye are SANCTIFIED, but ye are JUSTIFIED in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.” 1 Corinthians 6:9-11

The explanation below is modified from another source and notes the following:

“‘Washed, sanctified, and justified’ (often replacing glorified with justified) describes the comprehensive spiritual transformation of a believer in 1 Corinthians 6:11. It signifies being cleansed from sin, set apart for God’s purpose, and declared righteous through Christ, moving from a past life of disobedience to a new identity and a life of obedience to God (2 Corinthians 5:15).

    • Washed: Refers to being cleansed of the defilement and stain of sin, often linked to baptism and the washing of regeneration by the Holy Spirit.
    • Sanctified: Means being set apart to God for His holy purpose. It involves both a position of holiness in Christ and a progressive, lifelong process of becoming more like Him.
    • Justified (Glorified/Righteous): Means being acquitted of all guilt and declared righteous before God on the basis of Christ’s finished work.

Contextual Meaning
    • Transformation: The Apostle Paul reminds the Corinthians that while they once lived in sin, their identity changed upon following Jesus.
    • The Power Source: These changes are accomplished in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of God, not by personal merit.
    • Living the New Life: This transformation signifies that believers are no longer defined by their past sins, but by their new, holy standing.”

Prayer: Jesus, I know You are going to return for a Bride that is without spot, wrinkle, or sin of any kind. Purify this life LORD Jesus which I now submit to You without reserve. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

The Importance of Pureness of Heart [podcast]


“He that loveth pureness of heart, for the grace of his lips the king shall be his friend.” Proverbs 22:11

With pureness of heart, our words shall issue forth with grace and seasoning and be more readily received by those who hear.

“Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.” Colossians 4:6

David’s Prayer

“Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.” Psalms 19:14

“Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.” Matthew 5:8

“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

“A Clean Heart”

“Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. 11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.” Psalms 51:10-11

When we wisely join in fellowship, life with fellow truth seekers, such will assist the work of God who is quickening us to honestly admit, repent afresh and confess any sin God brings to light. Anyone else ever camped out on Psalms 51—the prayer of repentance and confession of the man after God’s own heart, David?

“Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. 13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.” Psalms 51:12-13

The New Testament believer is to ever examine himself to see whether or not he is in the faith.

“Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?” 2 Corinthians 13:5

“If”

“But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.” Deuteronomy 4:29

Prayer: Father, in Jesus’ name, here and now if never before, I submit my life to You—to Your Lordship. From this moment forth I will serve You. Jesus You are the Master of my life from now on. I love You Jesus. Please use me for Your glory. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
