12/27/20 Be separate

To be a true believer in Jesus Christ you will need to take a walk on a very narrow road that very few people are on. It’s a path of obedience to the teachings of Jesus and physically separating from the world.

If you truly want to be a son or daughter of God you must be able to separate. I realize that most professing Christian’s can’t do this. It’s because they are so involved living in the world, working with unbelievers, and accepting the worldly influenced form of Christianity.

God requires that they separate from it if they really truly desire to become a part of Gods family.

2 cor 6:17 -18. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.

β€œAnd will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.” KJB

Separate means to put some space in between you and others, like 2 boxers in a ring that might be seperated by a referee. 100 prophets kept in caves to keep away from the world. 1 Kings 18:4. Job separated from Sodom and never looked back. Gen 19

I grew up in a church without a bible in a pew. The scriptures were not even preached. It was filled with women preaching, philosophy, and false teachings.

20 years ago someone gave me a 1611 king james bible on a street. Over 6 months I studied and read it and my eyes God opened to His truth. I realized that all I had known and grew up in was a lie.

I was required to come out from it and be seperate to be faithful to Christ. I had to leave relatives who were caught up in it. I couldn’t love my relatives more than the teachings of Jesus Christ otherwise I’d be unworthy of Him. Matt 10:37 Jesus even taught that whoever did Gods will was truly His family. Mark 3:35

So we find that even Earthly relatives do not compare with relatives who are ready to obey the teachings of Jesus Christ

Remember that false Christianity will get worse and worse right up to the return of Jesus. Remember Jesus taught ” will there be faith on the earth ” when He returns. Luke 18:8. He taught it will be like days of Noah. Matt 24:37. How many people were saved in the days of Noah?

We’re supposed to worship with people who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. 2 tim 2:22. Those who are rejecting the teachings of Christ do not have pure hearts. To be honest I wouldn’t want to join up with them and be there when the Lord returns.

Again the command is to come out and be separate. Those who truly love Jesus will keep his Commandments. John 14:15

It’s a very quiet path when you choose to be separate, but the Lord will bless you for doing so. Some might call me a fundamentalist but I don’t claim anything other than a person who simply believes this bible as Gods truth. I believe that God gives us grace we need so we can overcome this world and become obedient to the Lord Jesus who suffered so much for us all.

Each of us need to learn how to love God with all our hearts souls and Minds so that we don’t offend him in any way and also to correct the problems that we have in our own lives.

Once you study this bible, you too will learn discernment and the many ways to identify false Christianity so that you two can come out and be separate.

Women preaching and teaching is one of the biggest heresies that you will see happening in worldly false christianity today. 1 Tim 2:12 Christian women will never usurp over man, because they came out of man. Paul commanded wives to be taught by their husbands. 1 Cor 14:35. Are you contending for the faith that was once given to us by Peter and Paul? Jude 3

Alot has changed in the world in 2000 years, but not in God’s Word. A false church has emerged. Be forewarned.

Are you ready to separate yourself unto the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ? I guarantee you Jesus will reward you.

12/26/20 Be Forgiving

Matthew 6:15 – But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses

Forgiveness is what our Lord Jesus has taught us by dying on the cross for us. He took all of our mistakes and misdeeds upon Himself. If you have received forgiveness from God He expects you to be forgiving with others. We are commanded to confess our sins to God so that we can be forgiven. It’s the same with others in the church. If you won’t apologize to others and say I repent , God will not forgive you.

There are people who even partake of Holy Communion today who will not confess and repent to others that they have wronged. The Apostle Paul warned that some people partake of Holy Communion but they drink damnation to themselves. The reason why is because they don’t discern the truth that Christ died to wash away their sins in his own blood. That’s why if you can’t forgive others you yourself won’t be forgiven by God. It doesn’t matter on Church attendance it doesn’t matter about Holy Communion, it matters about doing God’s will. God requires us to Simply say ” I repent ” and he forgives us and that’s what we need to be able to do it at other people who have sinned against us.

Sadly some of us can be like little children who can make the same mistake over and over and over and over again. But the Lord Jesus is like forgiving parents who give us the Grace we need to become better people and To grow into maturity.

I spent many years working with a handicapped boy in a high school. He was hated by everybody… He couldn’t control his hands he used to punch me and others in the face. I went home with black eyes for years. But I never left his side. It took many years of repentance forgiveness and correction to help him… but I never abandoned him, as Christs forgiveness had taught me. Eventually he earned the respect of his peers and the teachers around him.

What’s required to obtain forgiveness from God? God makes it very easy to obtain forgiveness. Luke 17:4  And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.

Looking back, I must have forgiven that young man 1000 times…. but all I needed to hear each day was that heart felt apology from him… ” I’m sorry coach.” God expects no less from us.

12/25/2020 Jesus commands reconcilliation

Matt 5:23-24

23Β Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;

24Β Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.

If you have wronged a brother in the church and are incapable of reconciling with them then God doesn’t want your offering. Jesus died on the cross so that we could be in a renewed relationship with the heavenly Father. He expects those who profess faith in Him to forgive and reconcile as He has done for us. God doesn’t want your financial support until you learn to repent and confess sins to others and to rejoin the previous relationship you had with them. Without reconciliation there was never forgiveness. Without reconciliation there was never sincere confession and apologies. If people can’t apologize when they wrong a brother….you are to treat them as a heathen. No wonder why God doesn’t want their gift in a church.

Jesus died on the cross to cover and forgive us of all of our sins. He doesn’t even remember or speak of them. Do you love enough to die to cover their sins up? God’s love and forgiveness is amazing.😊
