Luke 11:23
23 He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.
I Peter 1
15 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
Matt 5:16 Jesus said,
16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
Commenting on Charlie Daniel's song by using my Ron Paul illustration…
Ron Paul says the Constitution doesn't allow us to makes drugs illegal and he knows the Constitution a whole lot better tnan I do. All I can say IS drugs destroy lives whether illegal or legal drugs, they both kill in the end.
Because booze is legal, it has caused more deaths than any other drug…
This deals with one legal drug in America--
The World's Deadliest Drug!
I would like to talk about things going on around us in these last days.
I was out talking to a few friends of mine a few days ago. I started talking about the judgment of God is going to be one of the heaviest things I can think of. I don't know how he is going to do it but I know he is. It is hard to imagine when he created this universe around 6 thousand years ago, that he could just speak things into existence but I KNOW that is the case because I KNOW that being in a personal way now. His name is Jesus Christ when he came in human flesh. BUT to me the judgment wll be even harder to do. I ALSO know that God can do all things that he chooses to do.
When I think about that my mind goes to different "christs" who has shown up in these last days just as the true Christ Jesus said would come.
Matt 24:4-12
I was at another place talking to a gentleman and I started sharing the Lord Jesus Christ and his soon coming with him. He said, 'Yea, we have been hearing that for a couple thousand years." I said, "Yea, but you are fulfilling words in the bible now."
4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
"Iniquity" shall abound or to say, "wickedness, sin, evil" shall abound.
We have had many christs and will have more. False christs FROM the popes of the Roman Catholic Church who claim to be alter christus "another christ" to "lord" Matreyia for the new agers to Rev Sun Myung Moon who is fairly well known for doing mass weddings, telling people who to marry and then he marries them, to our kool aid buddy, Jim Jones who had his followers drink some kool-aid with poison in it and they died together, to the Waco Tx polygamist, David Koresh whom the government killed and all the women and children in the camp with him. If they are into killing polygamists and children who won't submit to them then they have a lot of Mormons who are into polygamy and false prophets they need to kill and many others too. Even though there are also a lot of other types of "polygamists" who are marrying and divorcing, marrying and divorcing, etc. They might not have two at the exact same time but pretty close to it. Then we have the ones who are just shacking up for a while and then shack up with another one a short time later. All of these are polygamists in a round about way.
It says in
3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
9 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.
The word says in
Lam 3:22-26
22 It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
23 They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
24 The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.
25 The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.
26 It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.
Rom Paul might help in the natural sense to have more freedom BUT MOST definitely NOT in the supernatural sense.
Since I mentioned the "scoffers" when reading
By reading
Now I will talk about the new bibles some.
Luke 18:1-8
"1 And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;
2 Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:
3 And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.
4 And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;
5 Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.
6 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.
7 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?
8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
Jesus Christ made an incredible statement above, "Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?"
`The more that I talk with believers the more that what he said makes sense… Whether justifying lying, cussing, stealing, cheating, smoking, drinking, lusting and acting it out, so to speak.
Drinking is legal BUT it still kills.
Dealing with sexual diseases a little bit.
Rev. 3:14-16
14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
Some Christians tell me that doesn't mean you are going to hell. I tell them I don't care if it means that or not. I don't want to be spued to the other side of heaven by Jesus Christ or even spued across the street. I want to hear him say, "Well done".
I believe the 7 churches are representations of all the churches through time, one sticks out more than the others at any given time through history. I believe we are in the 7th church or last church period or time known as the Laodicean Church Age. I see and hear proof for that belief over and over and over as I am around believers or unbelievers.
John 14:21-24, the Lord Jesus Christ said,
I can't seem to believe the things that I am hearing or seeing that Christians justify. I justified many things that were garbage and I have truly repented of them but I still feel fear or apprehension knowing that I will face God with all this garbage in my past as a believer living like an unbeliever.
Earlier I was sharing with you Lam 3:22-26 and now I want to tie in a few thoughts from..
21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me
So based on Jesus' words we love him if we obey him, if we don't obey him, we don't love him. Obedience proves love and is shown in actions and life styles. If we are into dirty movies, cussing, smoking, drinking, lying, cheating, stealing, whatever we do not love him. The Lord Jesus Christ made that ultra plain.
I have said this plenty of times before, we seem to believe that saved adulterers, fornicators, liars, cheaters, etc go to heaven and lost ones go to hell. The word doesn't teach that. It just says adulterers, fornicators, cheaters, liars, whatever without the word "Christian" or "lost" before it. If a Christian is living in adultery, then he or she is an adulterer or adulteress. They DON'T go to heaven.
Psa 103:11,12
11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.
12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
I spoke on us losing the fear of God and that is sad. I talked about the Mormons whom I was sharing with and they didn't have a fear of God. I understood when I thought about their god.
Prov 28:13
13 He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.
So here the word is telling me that those who confess and forsake their sins are the ones who obtain mercy not those who just mouth the words and keep doing what they were doing before.
I was sharing with another brother on YouTube who was telling me that he is a KJV preference and I tell him that I am a KJV only. A KJV preference is just a bible perversion person and in reality he doesn't have a bible, he has whatever the bible scholars can give him at any given time. They do not claim they have a perfect bible, they claim they are getting closer but they keep going back and forth with some verses getting closer and then later some verses getting further from the truth.
There are some more Christians who are talking to Jesus like I am talking to you. They are hearing some strange things too. I told the guy who is KJV preference doesn't have a bible, a final authority that the ones who are hearing from Jesus daily are doing better than he is doing. They have something to hang on to, he doesn't. His bible can change tomorrow and probably will, he is into the ESV for clarification. Sad!
I have said this many times too, you can't get a good bible much less a perfect bible from the wrong manuscript evidence. The Sinaiticus and the Vaticanus are corrupted manuscripts, old but messed up big time.
God established long time ago that he is a faith God and faith in his written word pleases him. God speaks in a lot of ways such as through his word, his people, circumstances and situations, by his Spirit. God can and does talk audibly to people at times but that is not his norm.
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Matt 19:14
14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
Leave you with a closing thought…
II Cor. 5:17
17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
If you still enjoy living in sin then I would highly advise you to really check to see if you are really in the faith. I would say you are not.. I have fell into sin many times but I hated it, it does NOT fulfill. In the end, you are more empty than at the beginning, so to speak.
