💥 Join me today on the podcast (link below) as I exhort: We Had This Twisted For So Long!!! We're SUPPOSED To Put On the "New Self!!" Now for some of you, you got this memo, but for many others, like it was in my case, have not put on the "new man," the "new self," created in Christ Jesus! The Bible says in Colossians 3:1-5:

"If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. 5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry." Amen! Keyword: IF. This chapter starts right off by saying, "IF."

Because beloved, the book of Colossians is going to put away empty arguments and false doctrines that come against living a sanctified, set-apart LIFE in the Lord. It is going to SHUT DOWN the "high-sounding nonsense," the "pseudo-intellectual babble," (see Colossians 2:8) that we who are in Christ, making a profession for His Name to be the Lord and Savior of our lives, can still live HOWEVER we want; just continuing to sin willfully with no consequence of heavenly judgment or correction - and still inherit eternal life. Folks, we've had this twisted for FAR TOO LONG! WE HAVE BEEN DECEIVED!! "Once Saved/Always Saved" is a complete lie STRAIGHT from the pit of ! You wanna know why? Because Colossians, chapter 3 shows us that we are called to holy living. It commands us to "put to death and deprive of power the evil longings of your earthly body" (v.5).

John, in 1 John 3:4-10, echoes this teaching by showing us the life one leads when one puts on the "new self/man: "No one who abides in Christ Jesus continues to live a life characterized by deliberate, knowing, and habitually sin! "No one who habitually sins has seen Him or known Him" (1 John 3:6b). This is why we're taking a look at Colossians, Chapter 3 so that we don't fall off the rails and get ourselves thrown in that Lake of Fire because we failed to, "put on the new (spiritual) self who is being continually renewed in true knowledge in the image of Him who created the new self" (Colossians 3:10). WE MUST ABANDON OUR FORMER WAY OF LIVING AND LIVE A LIFE PLEASING TO THE LORD OUR GOD!

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

💥 Join me today on the podcast (link below) as I exhort: People live their lives for many things: happiness, pleasure, wealth, relationships. Yet these things do not fully satisfy apart from a relationship with Christ. What good is it for anyone to gain all these things, yet to lose his soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for his soul? (Matthew 16:26). God’s people have been saved from sin and death and are called to live for righteousness (1 Peter 2:24).

To live for righteousness means we wholeheartedly realize that sin does not please God. Because of this, we pursue holiness instead of sinfulness in our thoughts, words, and actions. When we live for righteousness, we submit even our thought life to what is righteous.

But this godless, unholy "world" take its cues and influences from the devil, who the Bible says is the "prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience" (Ephesians 2). This "world's" culture, religions, and patterns of living are diametrically opposed to the righteous, rigorous, holy standards of God. We, who are in Christ Jesus, navigate this "world" and all of its satanic practices by keeping our focus on Jesus Christ and His soon coming. We live in this unrighteous "world" by giving our lives to Lord Jesus who bought us with His precious shed blood and saved us from the penalty of sin: eternal separation from God, being "thrown into the Lake of Fire" (Revelation 20:15) that blazes with fire and brimstone for eternity!

We, who are righteous through Christ Jesus, live in this fallen "world" by producing and bearing good fruits of repentance and righteousness! We live separately and apart from the "world!" All of this is possible through the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit who empowers us to forsake sin, live changed lives, and be obedient to Lord Jesus!

Amen! 🎯 REPENT and BELIEVE and TURN BACK TO GOD!

💥 Join me today on the podcast (link below) as I exhort from the book of Ephesians: In chapter 5, verse five, we learn we can be SURE that certain ungodly lifestyles will disqualify us from "any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God." We are commanded to expose the unfruitful works of darkness! We expose the "worthless and unproductive deeds of darkness" (Ephesians 5:11), by shedding "the light [of God’s precepts]" (v. 13) on it! We are commanded in Ephesians 5:6, "Let no one deceive you with empty arguments [that encourage you to sin]."

Anyone or any system of this fallen, godless "world" who encourages you to sin, is not of God, nor do they walk and follow the example of love demonstrated by Jesus Christ! Don't believe nor trust in their "empty arguments" that sin is acceptable by God! Sin is never acceptable and this is why Christ died so that we won't die and perish in our sins and face God's wrath like the children of disobedience.

We are commanded in verse 7, "So do not participate or even associate with them [in the rebelliousness of sin]. 8 For once you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord; walk as children of Light [live as those who are native-born to the Light]."

By keeping ourselves in the Light, We will not be deceived by the wiles of the devil and his practices that opposes God's truth!

We expose the unprofitable, damnable fruits of darkness by calling it out - calling what it is: unrighteous practices, willfully offending God through ungodly, unholy, reckless, sinful behaviors and lifestyles that are influenced by the satanic demonic patterns of this world that are in direct opposition to the holy standards of God!

WE SHUN THE DARK AND RUN TO THE LIGHT!

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

💥 Join me today on the podcast (link below) as I exhort: If we continue to live in spiritual darkness and practice a sinful lifestyle (while claiming Christ as the Lord of our lives), we have not been spiritually transformed, born-anew, and we have no light!! I'm doing a remix of a previous episode that bears repeating because many are still walking in darkness claiming they are following Jesus! However, be not mistaken: The way we live, will most certainly determine where we will spend eternity! The very life you are living today, whether it be in Christ or in Satan, will cause your soul to either rejoice or be tormented when you are called out of your bodysuit! As born-again followers of the Lord Jesus Christ, we live as children of Light! We have been transformed by God’s power from being darkness to being light in the Lord. We are expected to let our behavior and actions reflect God’s goodness, righteousness, and truth in all areas of our lives!

We should never think or act the same. Our thinking and our behavior after our conversion should compare to our former “walk” as though it were night and day!

21 "Since you have heard about Jesus and have learned the truth that comes from him, 22 throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted by lust and deception. 23 Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. 24 Put on your new nature, created to be like God—truly righteous and holy." (Ephesians 4) Amen! 🎯 REPENT and BELIEVE and TURN back to God!

💥 Join me today on the podcast (link below) as I exhort: DO NOT CONFORM TO THE TEACHINGS OF THIS WORLD RATHER THAN FROM CHRIST! Conform NOT to human traditions and the way the world thinks and acts. DECEPTION - Don't Get Caught Up In It!!!

The reason why we follow the Lord Jesus Christ 's voice and His teachings, it's so we don't get caught up in a deception that have many blinded to the truth of His Word! We see in the current times and which we are living in, there is much deception, there is much misleading, and there is great distortion of the Scriptures! And if we are not truly abiding in Jesus and listening to His voice alone, we too, will be led astray back on that broad road and destroyed with everlasting fire!

The Bible tells us in Colossians 2: 7-8, "Don’t let anyone capture you with empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and from the spiritual powers of this world, rather than from Christ." (NLT)

THIS MEANS: "Be careful that you do not believe any false teachers. The ideas that they teach may seem clever. But they really want to deceive you. They are ideas that have come from the human minds of our ancestors. Or ideas that come from spirits that belong to this world. They are not the true message about Christ."

The Lord has not left us clueless about the things that are to take place before He returns! And He warns us to not be deceived by false prophets, nor to be misled into error because many will and have fallen away from the truth!

👉🏾1 Timothy 4:1 - "Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons."

👉🏾Matthew 24:24 - "For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect."

👉🏾2 Corinthians 11:13-15 - "For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds."

For many will turn from sound doctrine sound doctrine and heap upon themselves teachers that will tickle their ears and lure them into immoral freedom! DON'T GET CAUGHT UP IN IT! THESE ARE DECEIVERS AND WORKERS OF SATAN! IT IS THEIR JOB TO SEDUCE YOU WITH FALSE DOCTRINE AND TO LEAD YOU AWAY FROM THE TRUE TEACHINGS OF JESUS CHRIST!

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

💥 Join me today on the podcast (link below) as I exhort: The gentiles of this "present evil world" wants you back!!! And not only do these unbelieving pagans want you back in the same dissipation as them (i.e., on a fast track straight to a burning ), but our enemy, that old devil who tempted Eve in the garden, is trying his level best to get you back under his influence, under his sway so that you will abandon Jesus and his commandments and go right back to your "vomit!" (Study 2 Peter 2:20). Our adversary wants you to indulge wholeheartedly in your old sinful lifestyle of ungodliness and worldly immoral desires that will, in fact, send you to where he's going for ALL ETERNITY! (see Revelation 20:10).

😲😲 Don't let them snatch you back into this "world" that applauds sin, with its humanistic system that is at odds with God, downright opposing God at every turn. And not to mention, it hates Jesus Christ with a passion! We have been taken out of the "domain of darkness" by our heavenly Father through the death, burial, and resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, who willingly went to the cross and laid down His sinless perfect life as the propitiation for our sins!

Today, we are focusing on what Romans 8:8 is telling us: "Those who are in the flesh cannot please God." The Bible uses terms like: sensuality, debauchery, and lasciviousness to describe an ungodly, unholy devotion to gratifying bodily appetites; free indulgence in carnal pleasures! The sensual follow the sinful desires of their flesh without boundaries or restraint!! The Bible says these are they who will not inherit God's Kingdom! You cannot serve your flesh and the Lord Jesus Christ and expect to hear welcome into the Kingdom! Make sure you tune in for this one!

Amen!

💥 Join me today on the podcast (link below) as I exhort: Do you fear God? Are you living in the Fear of the Lord? Are you obeying His commands? Are you forsaking sin but more importantly, do you hate sin so much that you're not looking to engage in it any longer? Because beloved, these are the types of questions we will be looking into today. We all must know whether or not that we fear God and keep His commandments as according to Ecclesiastes 12:13-14, Solomon wrote, "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil". Amen!

Walking in “the fear of the Lord” means to shun evil, hating it just as much as God does, and honoring Him with our lives.

Listen, we live in a period of time right now in which fearing the Lord is on the steep decline. Where there is no fear of the Lord, God’s laws are broken without hesitation! Fearing God brings wisdom: The unrighteous will not inherit God's kingdom, but will be thrown into the Lake of Fire!

This is the whole duty of man: “Love God, hate sin.” The fear of the Lord begins and ends with hating evil. Hate what God hates, and love what He loves. Live for Jesus and nothing else!

💥 Join me today on the podcast (link below) as I exhort: Pastors and Bishops who willfully lead God's people astray, will be judged severely! Many of our brethren look toward these "men of God" as teachers speaking on behalf of Christ, but in reality, they are apostates and wolves-in-sheep's clothing! James 3:1 tells us, "Not many [of you] should become teachers [serving in an official teaching capacity], my brothers and sisters, for you know that we [who are teachers] will be judged by a higher standard [because we have assumed greater accountability and more condemnation if we teach incorrectly]." Well, that's saying a lot!

We have to keep addressing the issue that many of our brethren are not only following blind guides (apostate pastors, bishops, and prophets) but are in celebratory applause of their adulterous remarriages while having living covenant spouses. They are co-signing these apostates' willful sin and unrepentant hearts that shows no remorse for their disobedience against the Word of God and don’t feel the need to change!

These apostate bishops and pastors are remarrying (while covenant spouses are still alive) at an alarming rate! They have long ago abandoned Jesus and His doctrines and, therefore, are teaching and promoting doctrines of devils that encourage wayward, sinful, and disobedient living! They are leading others on the broad path that leads to destruction! And many have ignorantly followed them - right into the same ditch! That is why we must continue to warn that adultery and unrepentance is sin and it is leading many straight to a burning ! We must follow Christ Jesus and obey His Word at all cost!

The Scriptures are clear and it doesn't matter who disobeys them, we who love Jesus, shall obey His commands and teachings! We must repent and forsake sin! For it is written: "11 So He said to them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her. 12 And if a woman divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.” (Mark 10).

💥 Join me today on the podcast (link below) as I exhort: Do You Know God? Many claim they know God and that they love Him. But how do you know that you know God and that you truly do love Him? Is it because you go to church every week? Is it because you read your Bible everyday? Is it because you are the pastor, the deacon, the first lady, or the bishop? The Bible tells us how we could know whether or not we know God and therefore love Him: "And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments." (1 John 2:3).

So the question becomes are you keeping His commandments? Are you keeping the commandments that Lord Jesus set out for us (see Mark 12:30-31) who are born-again? Because according to Ecclesiastes 12:13-14, our whole duty as mankind is to fear God and keep His commandments! Why? Because when Christ Jesus returns, He's coming to judge everyone for the works they have done whether it be good or evil! And this is the part where many people are missing it. And what I mean by many people, is those who claim they are in Christ! These are they who are living in willful, blatant, rebellious sin claiming they still get to go to Heaven and enjoy eternal life with a holy God ANYWAY! So I'mma ask again, do you know God and do you love Him?

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

💥 Join me today on the podcast (link below) as I exhort: You and I MUST make sure we are in right standing with God when Jesus returns or we go by the way of the grave! And you must find out if your relationship with God is real! Because the LORD God says some of you are wayward. He wants His lights (His "prodigal" children) to come back home from their riotous living while chasing all that is in the "world" ("the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life")!

Many are hanging their eternal hats on the false doctrine of "once saved, always saved" to deliver them from the wrath of God! They rather take the easy route to the Kingdom through the "wide gate" that leads to eternal destruction, rather than crucifying the flesh and walking the straight and narrow path that leads to eternal life; Jesus says only few will find it.

He tells us in Matthew 6:33 what is the most important thing we ought to seek instead of worrying about our lives: striving to enter into His Kingdom - to be in right standing with the Father that only comes through faith and trust in Jesus Christ; and righteousness (living clean and holy and pure in this present evil age).

"But first and most importantly seek (aim at, strive after) His kingdom and His righteousness [His way of doing and being right—the attitude and character of God], and all these things will be given to you also." (AMP)

If we are striving for the pleasures and treasures of this "world" (that opposes God and applauds sin), and living according to our lustful desires, disregarding God's holy standards and commands, we will NOT make it into the Kingdom! We must repent and live changed lives as we await the coming of our Lord!

The Bible's truth: "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

Amen!
