💥 Join me today on the podcast (link below) as I exhort: SNATCHING SOULS FROM 'S FIRE! The mission, if you would join me, is to rescue the unrepentant, Christ-rejecting sinner by snatching them from the flames of judgment (see Jude 1:23) by preaching to them the UNADULTERATED Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ! The Commission to do this, is given by our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ in the gospels. We see in Luke 24:46-48, "and said, “And so it is written, that the Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed) would suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, 47 and that 👉🏾repentance [necessary] for forgiveness of sins would be preached in His name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem. 48 You are witnesses of these things."

We are to go out into all the world to preach to a lost and dying, sin-sick, wicked generation: God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting people's sins against them, but canceling them. Scripture says that God has shown us a WAY to be made right with Him (Jesus tells us that He is "the Way")! It tells us that God, in His grace, freely makes us right in His sight. He did this through Christ Jesus, when He freed us from the penalty for our sins. For God presented Jesus as the sacrifice for sin. People are made right with God when they believe, BY FAITH, that Jesus sacrificed His life, shedding His blood. This sacrifice shows that God was being fair when He held back and did not punish those who sinned in times past! God did this to demonstrate His righteousness for He Himself is fair and just, and He makes sinners right in His sight when they believe in Jesus! (Study: 2 Corinthians 5:19; Romans 3:20-31).

The gospel is blunt and to the point! Jesus said "Repent or perish!" That's it! Scripture is unanimous, the unrighteous will not inherit the Kingdom of God! That is why we preach repentance! There is room at the altar for all sinners!

Amen! 🎯 REPENT and BELIEVE and TURN back to God

💥 Join me today on the podcast (link below) as I exhort: What's the point in having a Lord and a Savior if we do not listen, follow, nor obey Him? Why should we call anyone our Lord and Master and cultivate a life that is characterized by sin, all in His Name - calling Him, "Lord, Lord?" Well, guess what beloved? There are some in the body of Christ who claim that Jesus is their Lord and Savior, but they adhere to the doctrine of "eternal security" that states, "once saved, always saved" (OSAS). These are they, who live wicked, unholy, ungodly, hypocritical lives!! They love every bit of the false doctrine that once a person has been born-again by trusting in Jesus as their personal Savior, he or she can never be eternally lost, no matter how far that person may backslide or live and die in unconfessed sin after their initial belief in Christ! "Eternal security" claims that one act of faith in Christ at some time in a person's life, GUARANTEES Heaven for them forevermore, regardless of the wicked behavior they live while on earth!

Well, we know that is not biblical! Nowhere in the Gospels or the writings of the apostles is this even implied - that we can disobey God and still inherit His Kingdom ANYWAY!

As we read from the book of Matthew today, the Lord Jesus Christ has explicitly laid out parable after parable that teaches: we must be ready, observant, and prepared as faithful obedient servants when He returns. Otherwise,

"50 "The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour of which he is not aware, 51 and will cut him in two and put him with the hypocrites; in that place there will be weeping [over sorrow and pain] and grinding of teeth [over distress and anger]" (Matthew 24).

Be not deceived my brothers and sisters! Christ has principles, and He has commandments, and He has consequences, that if we, as branches, do not remain abiding in Him, as He is the Vine, we will become withered, and just like a branch that falls off... will be thrown into the fire to be BURNED!!

Amen! 🎯 REPENT and BELIEVE and TURN back to God!

💥 Join me today on the podcast (link below) as I exhort: No follower of the Lord Jesus Christ who has repented and received forgiveness of their sins through His shed blood, can ever please God and walk in DARKNESS at the SAME time!! Not possible! We are either in the Kingdom of God or the kingdom of Satan! You see beloved, darkness is more than just sinning. It is a WAY OF LIVING that takes no thought of God into account. It is to dwell in ungodliness and not care about the consequences, and that's INIQUITY personified! If we are in fellowship with God our Heavenly Father, we must walk in the Light. And that Light is the Lord Jesus Christ.

Let us get some biblical understanding under our collective belts. We see the Messiah over here in John 12:46 declaring, "I have come as Light into the world, so that everyone who believes and trusts in Me [as Savior—all those who anchor their hope in Me and rely on the truth of My message] will not continue to live in darkness."

He also declares in John 8:12, "Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life." Amen!

So what does it mean to walk in darkness? It means to conduct our lives without any thought toward God. It is to let sin have its complete reign over you. It is most tragic when we profess that Christ is our Savior and God is our Father and yet continue to walk in darkness under the distorted doctrine of grace: "once you are saved, you are always saved," even in your willful, blatant, deliberate, habitual, sinful lifestyle - you can live however you want and still go to Heaven ANYWAY! God is not the King for those who walk in darkness; Satan is! We may think that we are in control of our own lives. But the spiritual reality is that when we live in sin, we are submitting ourselves to Satan’s ways, not God’s.

Peter says we are called, “Out of darkness into his marvelous light” (I Peter 2:9). Elsewhere Paul calls us, “Children of the day. We are not of the night or of the darkness” (I Thessalonians 5:5). BE NOT DECEIVED BELOVED!! "30 For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people. 31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God" (Hebrews 10:30-31).

Amen! 🎯 REPENT and BELIEVE and TURN back to God!

💥 Join me today on the podcast (link below) as I exhort: HALLOWED BE THY NAME! OUR CALL TO DUTY: Fear God, worship Him with awe-filled reverence, knowing that He is almighty God and keep His commandments, for this applies to every person! Amen! Do you fear and respect God enough to obey His commandments? Do you love the Lord Jesus Christ enough to obey His commandments? Believe it or not, many in the body of Christ are operating under a pseudo love for God! They show no respect for His Name by continuing to live a life of reckless rebellion, all in the Name of Christ's grace! The Bible teaches, as children of God, we demonstrate true love for Him when we habitually keep His commandments and remain focused on His precepts (study 1 John 5:2-4).

And unlike the backsliding lukewarm murmuring and complaining self-professing Christian, who claim that following God's commands are burdensome, we don't find His commandments and His precepts difficult to obey! Not at all! Because we understand the assignment: "...conduct yourselves in [reverent] fear [of Him] and with profound respect for Him throughout the time of your stay on earth" (study 1 Peter 1:14-19). Amen!

Beloved, by the Holy Spirit, be not deceived! You cannot, CANNOT, disobey God, trample underfoot the precious blood of Jesus Christ and still think you have a shot at the Kingdom! Let no one deceive you!! We are to live holy, righteous, and godly in this present age, as we await the coming of our risen King, who will judge the inhabited world in righteousness! For He will tell many on the Day of Judgment who claim His Name, but were workers of iniquity, "Depart from me, I never knew you!"

King Solomon, the preacher, coming to the end of his life, expounded the futility of pleasure and possessions. Having great wealth, wisdom, a sumptuous vast empire, and all the beautiful wives and concubines he could ever want, he summarized in totality, the whole duty of man:

"Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. 14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil" (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14). Amen! 🎯 REPENT and BELIEVE and TURN back to God!

💥 Join me today on the podcast (link below) as I encourage: No matter what happens, NEVER give up on the Lord Jesus Christ!! Remain faithful unto death and He will give you the crown of life (study Revelation 2:10). How we live our lives today, will determine where we will spend eternity. Lord Jesus says, “Whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life!” (John 5:24). This is why the Lord is sending out His servants, His messengers, His prophets, His sons and His daughters to preach the Gospel, crying aloud and sparing nothing to warn the world and encourage the brethren that Christ is returning soon! Albeit, mockers scoff at His delay (see 2 Peter 3:3-4), nonetheless, He is coming quickly! We will be judged whether it be to receive rewards as faithful servants of His or as His enemies. The wicked will be rewarded for the evil they have done - eternal everlasting destruction in the Lake of Fire! But the righteous will go on to everlasting life in the Kingdom of God!

So let us take a cue from 2 Peter 3:11-14 on how we ought to be living as we see the coming Day of the Lord! This is so not the hour to remain in willful, blatant, habitual sin while sitting up under false teachers who steal from you, who lie to you, who deceive you, who erroneously teach God's Word by distorting it and turning it into a lie! Pulling you so that you will not trust in Jesus, but rather in THEIR religious dogmas, traditions and doctrines of devils!

This is spiritual warfare we're talking about! This is not about judging. This is not about condemning anyone. It is about you and I getting ready to meet the King of Glory! Amen! 🎯 REPENT and BELIEVE and TURN back to God!

💥 Join me today on the podcast (link below) as I exhort: Many Who Claim Jesus' Name, Will NOT Be Going to Heaven!! Sadly, some people get saved and tend to continue to live their lives the same way they used to before accepting Christ. For them, salvation is just fire insurance to keep them out of . Without corresponding works of righteousness, their "salvation" is only mental ascension! True faith always leads to works of righteousness, which essentially prove the validity of our faith (James 2:17)! Amen!

The Word of God contains a plethora of Scripture that teaches us how we, the children of God, should live as we await our Lord's return or we go by the way of the grave: in holiness and righteousness, being sanctified and consecrated unto the LORD. Genesis to Revelation makes it clear that those whose lives are characterized by sin, “will not inherit the Kingdom of God” and they will be "thrown into the Lake of Fire" (study Genesis 2:17; 1 Cor. 6:9-10; see also Rom. 8:12-13; Gal. 5:21; Eph. 5:5; Revelation 20:15)!

But you know the way is straight and narrow that leads to eternal life! Don't let anyone deceive you! The Bible tells us how to live post-salvation: 14" [Live] as obedient children [of God]; do not be conformed to the evil desires which governed you in your ignorance [before you knew the requirements and transforming power of the good news regarding salvation]. 15 But like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves in all your conduct [be set apart from the world by your godly character and moral courage]; 16 because it is written, “You shall be holy (set apart), for I am holy" (1 Peter 1). Amen! 🎯 REPENT and BELIEVE and TURN back to God!

💥 Join me today on the podcast (link below) as I exhort from: Hebrews 13:9 "Do not be carried away by diverse and strange teachings." There are a lot of strange teachings being promulgated among the Body of Christ, namely, since Christ taught under the Law, we, as New Testament saints, don't have to obey any of His teachings! DON'T BELIEVE THE LIE! How can you be "assured" of going to Heaven when you are still living like a hellion on the earth, all the while claiming Jesus is your Lord and Savior, but you're not obeying Him?

Make no mistake, those who claim they have the "assurance of eternal security," do not listen to, nor follow, nor obey Jesus Christ!! From the apostate leader in the pulpit, down to the pews...they are deceived! For they are teaching and following another christ and adhering to another gospel that teaches you can disobey God and still inherit His Kingdom ANYWAY... That you have "assurance of eternal security," even in the midst of living in pure vomit... all because of grace!! 🤦🏾‍♀️

So beloved, let me make this as painless as possible about that dangerous doctrine of "eternal security." The ONE who endures until the end, the ONE who remains abiding in Christ Jesus, the ONE who lives a repentant holy and righteous life as they are being sanctified by the Holy Spirit, the ONE who stays out of willful deliberate sin, the ONE who strives to enter the narrow door, the ONE who obeys the Father and the Son, the ONE who is Spirit-filled and lead, the ONE who loves the brethren, the ONE who is truly about the Father's business, the ONE who lives a consistent sensible godly and upright life, THAT'S the man, THAT'S the woman Christ Jesus was talking about that He will give eternal life to and that no man (a.k.a. false teacher) can pluck THEM out of His hand! (Study John 10:27-28).

Be not deceived, the Bible is crystal clear about the eternal consequence of those who continue to practice sin as a lifestyle:

💥 Revelation 21:8

"But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”

💥 Matthew 25:41

“Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.

💥 Matthew 25:46

"And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”

💥 Matthew 10:28

"And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in ."

💥 Romans 6:23

"For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."

💥 Mark 9:43

"And if your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than with two hands to go to , to the unquenchable fire."

Amen! 🎯 REPENT and BELIEVE and TURN back to God!

💥 Join me today on the podcast (link below) as I exhort the brethren: WHAT has come into your life that got you tangled up so much to the point that God is no longer answering your prayers? What are you doing that has caused Him to be angry with you? You need to find out why and find it quickly, because your soul is on the line! Let me help you out! That silence you hear from Heaven, is because you are STILL practicing willful, deliberate, habitual, blatant sin after receiving the knowledge of the truth!!

💥 Isaiah 59:2

“But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.”

Beloved, all of us must take a cue from Joshua 24:15 and take a stand! We must take up a position of alliance! Because there's a choice that needs to be made! It's either Heaven or ! It is either the Kingdom of God or spending eternity tormenting in the Lake of Fire because we chose the kingdom of darkness over the Kingdom of Light! Our position and right standing with our Heavenly Father in Christ Jesus shall always be: "... choose you this day whom ye will serve; ...but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." Amen!

Therefore, I beseech you my brothers and sisters that you repent! CHANGE your old way of thinking, turn from your sinful ways and live transformed, regenerated born-again lives as we await the coming of our Lord! Because the Lord tells us explicitly, in a clear and detailed manner, leaving no room for confusion or doubt in Luke 13:3, 5 "but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.”

Amen! 🎯 REPENT and BELIEVE and TURN back to God!

💥 Join me today on the podcast (link below) as I exhort: We who are born of God, do not practice sin!! The Word from Heaven is: Fear God and turn from your wicked evil ways and turn back to God - AND I'M TALKING TO BELIEVERS!! Those who say they follow Christ Jesus, but are still practicing sin in their delusional, comfortable, worldly, self-centered life - this warning is for you! I'm talking about those who would rather hang on the very heretical word of the apostate bishop rather than on the One who bought them with His precious blood that was shed on Calvary's hill! Talking about "once you're saved, you're always saved!" There's nothing you can do to lose your salvation! As a child of God, you have "eternal security!" Oh really?? We'll see about that, because the Bible says otherwise! Rule #1, you cannot willfully continue to disobey God and expect to inherit His Kingdom! God Almighty tells us EXACTLY who will end up in the Lake of Fire and many will be those who abused and distorted His grace and lived in great deception:

"But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death." (Revelation 21:8)

...and if you think He's playing, keep wallowing in your sin, all the while claiming the Name, and you'll see for yourself!

Beloved, I beseech you by the mercies of God, that you repent and put away all sin in your lives - ALL OF IT!! For Christ Jesus is coming quickly, in flaming fire, to judge the inhabited world in righteousness!! Let us who have called on the Name of the Lord to be saved, turn from all iniquity, lest we forget what is written in Revelation 22:15:

"Outside are the dogs [the godless, the impure, those of low moral character] and the sorcerers [with their intoxicating drugs, and magic arts], and the immoral persons [the perverted, the molesters, and the adulterers], and the murderers, and the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices lying (deception, cheating)."

1 Peter 4:17-18 “For it is time for judgment to begin at the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God? And “if the righteous is scarcely saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?” 😭

Amen! 🎯 REPENT and BELIEVE and TURN back to God!

💥 Join me today on the podcast (link below) as I exhort:: Our faithfulness to Jesus Christ will be called into account on the Day that He judges the inhabited world in righteousness! That damnable false doctrine of "eternal security/ OSAS," essentially, teaches that one does not have to be faithful nor obedient to Jesus to inherit the Kingdom of God simply because of their confession with their mouths that "Jesus is Lord" makes them "eternally secured" no matter how they live! But Christ says otherwise about our faithfulness to Him in Revelation 2:10(b): "Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life." And we know faithfulness to Jesus, means being OBEDIENT to Jesus!

So what we talking about today? Well, our hearts cannot be divided! You have to make up your mind, are you with the King of GLORY or are you with the lord of the flies?The Lord Jesus Christ says in:

Revelation 22:11-12

11 "Let the one who does wrong, still do wrong; and the one who is filthy (vile, impure), still be filthy; and the one who is righteous (just, upright), still be righteous; and the one who is holy, still be holy.” 12 “Behold, I (Jesus) am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to each one according to the merit of his deeds (earthly works, faithfulness)." Amen!

Beloved, many are straddling the fence. Many are taking their salvation lightly, there is no fear of the LORD in their lives. Many believe that God is "okey-dokey" with their sin as long as they've made a confession with their mouths for Christ, but their lifestyles shows otherwise, for it is characterized by habitual sin! So I'm asking today: Are you for Jesus or are you not? Because Jesus gets to the heart of the matter where hypocrisy in church circles are concerned:

7 "You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, [*study Isaiah 29:13] when he said: 8 “‘This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me; 9 in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men’” (Matthew 15:7-9). Amen! 🎯 REPENT and BELIEVE and TURN back to God!
