💥 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!

Glory be to God!

Join me today as I discuss: What God Do You Serve? What Christ Do You Follow? There's a great deception amongst the brethren: that they can stay in their willful, blatant, unrepented and unconfessed sin, and STILL believe they have fellowship with God and with His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ..."doing mighty good works in His Name!" They believe they will enter God's Kingdom in spite of them habitually practicing sin! They are greatly deceived! The Word of God says in Psalm 7:12, "If a man does not repent, God will sharpen His sword; He has strung and bent His [mighty] bow and made it ready."

Many who profess Christ Jesus as Lord, do not obey Christ Jesus as Lord! It is evident by their fruits (their behavior/lifestyle)! They "say" they serve Jesus, but they don't follow and obey His commands, essentially, ignoring His teachings and instructions! They want you to co-sign their sin and not bring correction to them that is based on the Word of God! They rather believe that the "Lord has told them" to stay in their sin and that they have "prayed on it" and, therefore, they are good to go with God! They believe they are in a good place with God and they're not!! They are deceived! I've said it many times on the podcast, Jesus will never NEVER authorize sin! FOR IF SO, HE DIED FOR NOTHING! You and I must not be deceived! For many self-professing believers are going to be shell-shocked on Judgment Day, because they truly believed their "good works" in the Lord, are going to gain them entrance in the Kingdom! It's no wonder Jesus is going to say to them on a day He judges the inhabited world in righteousness: "And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity" (Matthew 7:23). What a terrifying Day that will be 😬! Amen! 🎯 REPENT and BELIEVE and TURN back to God

Glory be to God!

💥 Join me today on the podcast (link below) as I exhort: How easily people are deceived in these last days! And if the sleeping religious church folk don't wake up and repent, they gonna perish! It's like, one moment they’re serving God, and the next moment, they’re walking away from Jesus! The enemy sweeps them into his arms of deceit! Because the True Church of Jesus Christ, the ecclesia, the called out ones, oh, we are wide awake and awaiting for our Bridegroom! We are not, by Holy Spirit and God's grace, "tossed back and forth [like ships on a stormy sea] and carried about by every wind of [shifting] doctrine, by the cunning and trickery of [unscrupulous] men, by the deceitful scheming of people ready to do anything for personal profit!" Study Ephesians 4:17. We are like the five wise virgins who kept oil in their lamps and were ready to go when the Bridegroom arrives!

DON'T BE SEDUCED OUT OF YOUR SALVATION BY THE DEVIL! WE ARE WARNED:

💥 "But the [Holy] Spirit explicitly and unmistakably declares that in later times some will turn away from the faith, paying attention instead to deceitful and seductive spirits and doctrines of demons, 2 [misled] by the hypocrisy of liars whose consciences are seared as with a branding iron [leaving them incapable of ethical functioning]" (1 Timothy 4).

Beloved, living in gross spiritual darkness is not normal! From Genesis to Revelation, living in gross darkness will put you on the fast track to a burning , as you await Final Judgment! People Are Easily Deceived! The Bible warns of the seducing spirits in these latter times. In insidious ways, seducing spirits disguise themselves, they reveal the will of the devil, making people think it’s the will of God!! Seducing devils tell half-truths to seduce and they influence people they’ve seduced, to tell other people half-truths!

To seduce is to persuade one to disloyalty. Demons persuade people to be disloyal when it comes to the truth, to God, to His Spirit, His love, His grace. Seducing spirits work through people. Just as the Holy Spirit works for good through people, seducing spirits work for destruction through people! Be careful; people can seduce you without you realizing what is happening to you. Guard what goes into your ears, what you hear. Listen to the truth; listen to what the Holy Spirit is saying and turn away from anything against the Spirit whether it’s on television, radio, or coming out of a person’s mouth!!

Beloved, TEST EVERY SPIRIT, so we can discern these wolves in sheep's clothing! Why? For, "They [who teach twisted doctrine] are of the world and belong to it; therefore they speak from the [viewpoint of the] world [with its immoral freedom and baseless theories—demanding compliance with their opinions and ridiculing the values of the upright], and the [gullible one of the] world listens closely and pays attention to them" (1 John 4:5). Amen! 🎯 REPENT and BELIEVE and TURN back to God!

Glory be to God!

💥 Join me today on the podcast (link below) as I exhort: EACH OF US MUST GIVE AN ACCOUNT TO GOD! That coming Day of Judgment is awaiting us. The apostle Paul declares that “at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father” (Philippians 2:10-11). It has been said that we are meant to bow the knee and confess Jesus as Lord now, but in the future everyone will—including those who refused to confess Him while alive on earth. The text says that “every” knee will bow and “every” tongue will confess Jesus as Lord. Don’t you want Christ the Lord to be your merciful Savior at that time and not your condemning Judge?

We go through life totally oblivious to what awaits all humanity in the future. Somehow, we go from day to day with “life as usual” and don’t imagine the climactic future that is coming! “Every eye” will see the Lord coming in judgment (Revelation 1:7). Everyone will stand before the Lord and every person will give an account before His awesome presence.

I would advise you not to go another day without preparing for that coming earth-shaking event! Although we may not be able to comprehend every aspect of the future coming of the Lord, we can know enough that we should earnestly STRIVE to PREPARE and be READY. It will be too late if we wait until we hear the shout, hear the voice of the archangel, and hear the trumpet of God (1 Thessalonians 4:16). It will be all over and preparation will be too LATE!

BE READY AND BE PREPARED TO MEET THE KING OF GLORY! Amen! 🎯 REPENT and BELIEVE and TURN back to God!

Glory be to God!

💥 Join me today on the podcast (link below) as I exhort: 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: The presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives means that, as we grow in our faith and come to love God ever more each day, we’ll have the strength to resist sin more and more. For, we are commanded by God to not let sin reign in our bodies, obeying its lusts, but instead we are to present ourselves to Him as instruments of righteousness (Romans 6:12–14)! This means that the children of God obey Him and live in freedom from habitual sin. We can do this because Jesus has set us free from the slavery of sin (John 8:36), and thus we are no longer under its penalty of death and separation from God.

💥 How to know you are STILL a slave to sin: you are STILL willfully, habitually, and deliberately sinning! You have not been regenerated or you are no longer abiding in Christ Jesus! The Bible tells us in 1 John 3, 8 "He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. 9 Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God." Amen!

Christ Jesus made it plain in John 8:34, when He tells the unbelieving Pharisees, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin.” Paul asked in Romans 6:16, "Do you not know that when you continually offer yourselves to someone to do his will, you are the slaves of the one whom you obey, either [slaves] of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness (right standing with God)?" As a born again child of the Living God, you are no longer a slave to sin, so don't put yourself back into bondage! Amen! 🎯 REPENT and BELIEVE and TURN back to God!

Glory be to God!

💥 Join me today on the podcast (link below) as I exhort: The way to eternal life is paved in obedience to Christ Jesus! It is straight and it is narrow a few will find it! Beloved, it's really not hard to understand the reality that Eternity only offers humanity two destinations: Heaven or ! Either we live a life of repentance and submission to the One who laid down His perfect sinless life in sacrificial fashion on our behalf so we don't face the coming wrath of God, or we live a life outside of the will of God, being enslaved by sin, being a child of disobedience, on the way straight to a burning as we await Final Judgment. Where Jesus, who has been appointed Judge by the Father, will judge the inhabited world in righteousness. And He would tell many deceived "Christians" that chose to live a life of blatant sin, while professing His Name and doing mighty works in His Name, to depart from Him, for He never knew them! They were workers of iniquity! (study Matthew 7:21-23)!

🚨 Beloved, be not deceived, without living a holy life, you and I will not be going to Heaven! Jesus Christ did not die and suffer so we can continue to live unrighteous, unholy, unclean lives! Many times Paul exhorted the Body that the "Those Who Practice Such Things Will Not Inherit the Kingdom of God!" Study (Gal. 5:19-21; Eph. 5:5; 1 Cor. 6:9-11). We must be fully prepared to enter Eternity to meet Jesus, the King of Glory! One way or the other, Judgment will be pronounced!

Our HATRED for sin must become greater as we spiritually mature. The hallmark of a true Jesus follower, is the decreasing presence of sin in his/her life! By the power of the Holy Spirit who lives in us, we are able to resist AND overcome sin! Our Lord and Savior gave us the key about who will inherit the Kingdom of God: 👉🏾"He who overcomes [the world by adhering faithfully to Christ Jesus as Lord and Savior] will inherit these things, and I will be his God and he will be My son" (Revelation 21:7). In the very next verse, He tells us who will not inherit the Kingdom of God: 👉🏾"But as for the cowards and unbelieving and abominable [who are devoid of character and personal integrity and practice or tolerate immorality], and murderers, and sorcerers [with intoxicating drugs], and idolaters and occultists [who practice and teach false religions], and all the liars [who knowingly deceive and twist truth], their part will be in the lake that blazes with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”

💥 It's either Heaven or ! There is no purgatory, there is no reincarnation, there is no floating around in some pseudo outer space jumping from one moonbeam to the next! The ushering of Eternity is lost upon unrepentant humanity and lukewarm Christians who live in oblivion of the coming Judgment. These are they, who only want to deal with "the here and the now," that "all will pan out in the end," somehow, some way! Be not deceived! We must keep on watching and be ready for Christ's return! We must make proper use of what little time we have left and that is glorifying the Father in all that we do. Following, listening, and obeying Jesus as Holy Spirit leads us in the way of righteousness and loving the brethren! Amen! 🎯 REPENT and BELIEVE and TURN back to God!

Glory be to God!

💥 Join me today on the podcast (link below) as I exhort: The testimony of the Holy Scriptures is unanimous: The Holy Spirit is the only One who can empower us to live the holy life we have been called to live! He gives us power to overcome sin and be obedient to Jesus Christ! The process of dying to sin more and more is called sanctification. It’s an ongoing process, worked out by the Holy Spirit: “You were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God” (1 Corinthians 6:11).

What has Holy Spirit been teaching us these few weeks? Believing in Jesus means...OBEYING JESUS!!

Many are saying that if doesn't matter how we live in Christ because we have His blood and His grace to cover our sins! Again, we do... the PROBLEM is that they are teaching and promoting that you can disobey God and still live, having eternal life ANYWAY! YEAH THAT PART...A-N-Y-W-A-Y! Some (and what I mean by some)....is a lot, are promoting on public platforms, no less, that you can keep right on sinning, keep on disobeying Jesus, keeping on grieving Holy Spirit, keep on denying the holiness and sovereignty of God, keep on ignoring the Holy Scriptures concerning righteous and holy living and still make it into the Kingdom! And when we say, that Once saved/Always saved, aka, "eternal security" is a doctrine of devils, they say we preach legalism! That somehow obedience to Christ is legalism!! Are you kidding me?!

TUNE IN SO WE CAN GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS! Amen! Live clean! Be holy! Stop sinning! 🎯 REPENT and BELIEVE and TURN back to God!

💥 Join me today on the podcast (link below) as I exhort: WE MUST TAKE THE BLINDERS OFF IF WE ARE TO FOLLOW CHRIST CLOSELY! Many well-meaning believers are falling into ditches following blind guides who teach doctrines of devils! They want to believe that it doesn't matter how they live their lives, as long as they make a "confession" for Christ and believe that His blood "covers" their future sins. They want to have "eternal security," while living for self and the pleasures and treasures of this "world" and its systems of evil, all in the Name of claiming Jesus as their Savior! They are DECEIVED and BLIND! Scripture is clear: "...The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity" (2 Timothy 2:19)! We are not called to be blind sheep, living according to our INIQUITOUS wayward will (devising our own man-made plan of salvation. Living by the torches we have set of ablaze for ourselves and not living according to God's will and His holy standards)! Study Isaiah 50:10-11.

👉🏾 Psalm 119:1–3 declares that when we walk in God’s ways, we do no iniquity: “Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord. Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart. They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways.”

👉🏾 Ephesians 1:4 says that God chose us in Christ even "before the foundation of the world." 1 Peter 1:20 says that Christ Himself was foreknown by the Father in the same way. God didn't just know about us; He knew us—personally, somehow—and He chose us. Moreover, we are chosen "through the sanctifying work of the Spirit to be obedient to Jesus Christ" (see 1 Peter 1:2). That means God's Holy Spirit is involved in making us "set apart" just for God, in making us people God can call "holy!"

We are commanded to live holy! Christ died so that we are set free from the bondage and slavery of sin. We no longer face God’s holy and just wrath. Jesus tells us to sin no more. Holiness is not an option! Christ came so that we don't have to walk in the darkness, but rather in the Light:

"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" (John 12:46). Amen! 🎯 REPENT and BELIEVE and TURN back to God!
