Repent and Believe Podcast w/ Cynthia Smalls

Glory be to God! ** 🙋🏾‍♀️ STAY TUNED UNTIL THE VERY END OF THIS EPISODE! ** 🚩TUNE IN EVERY 2 TO 3 DAYS FOR NEW EPISODES! Follow me on Facebook under AuntCynthia Whitaker 😊💥 Join me today as I discuss: Are you ready to meet the living God? Are you ready for Christ's return? Because if not, we got some serious work that needs to be done! For the Lord will say, "Depart from Me!" on the Day He judges those who by their "good works" for ministry, thought they had automatic entry to the Kingdom, but were found to be workers of iniquity!

"This is all the more urgent, for you know how late it is; time is running out. Wake up, for our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. 12 The night is almost gone; the day of salvation will soon be here. So remove your dark deeds like dirty clothes, and put on the shining armor of right living. 13 Because we belong to the day, we must live decent lives for all to see. Don’t participate in the darkness of wild parties and drunkenness, or in sexual promiscuity and immoral living, or in quarreling and jealousy. 14 Instead, clothe yourself with the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ. And don’t let yourself think about ways to indulge your evil desires" (Romans 13:11-14). Amen!

Today, we are looking at several parables that exhort us to be ready and prepared, EVER ALERT, to meet Christ Jesus when He returns. Jesus warns us in Mark 13:33-37 to "Take heed, keep on the alert," "be on the alert—for you do not know when the master of the house is coming." We are commanded to watch for Him! Therefore, we must be ready to meet Him when He returns. If we (His true sheep) are that generation that witness those prophesied end time events Jesus spoke of before He went to the cross, we will be gathered to Him in the air. I can't say it enough: we must be ready, all the while looking for Him. Longing for His return. Like a bride who sits by the lace covered window in the morning, at noon, in the evening, throughout the watches of the night, looking in eager expectation for her Bridegroom! She keeps herself ready. Her lamp is full of oil. As she goes about her daily life, her consciousness is on her Bridegroom and His soon coming. She doesn't let anything distract her from her readiness! She knows not the hour of His return, but she does know He is, in fact, coming at an hour that will take many and most by surprise. But she is not surprised because He had been telling her all along to be ready for Him. To purify herself. To keep herself clean and pure. So that when He returns, He finds her spotless and blameless!

Never forget, beloved, the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, who is King of kings and Lord of lords, will be here before we know it. Take heed to the parable of Ten Virgins in Matthew 25! He is coming back for a Bride WHO IS READY, without spot or wrinkle to receive Him! The Lord tells us, "And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh" (Luke 21:28). Amen! Stay Alert. Be Holy. Live Clean. Consider all your ways before the Lord! 🎯 REPENT and BELIEVE and TURN back to God!

Glory be to God! ** 🙋🏾‍♀️ STAY TUNED UNTIL THE VERY END OF THIS EPISODE! ** 🚩TUNE IN EVERY 2 TO 3 DAYS FOR NEW EPISODES! Follow me on Facebook under AuntCynthia Whitaker 😊💥 Join me today as I discuss: Christ Jesus commands all who are not saved to repent (Matt 4:17), for His born-again followers to take the Gospel into all the world (Matt 28:18-20), to take up our cross and follow Him (Matt 16:24-25). He also commands us to believe that He is in the Father and the Father is in Him (John 14:11), to stay alert and always pray (Luke 21:36), to love one another like Christ loves us (John 13:34-35), and to pray for our enemies and those who persecute us (Matt 5:44-45). These are not suggestions, but commands given by the King of kings and Lord of Lords, Jesus Christ our Savior.

In the Parable of the Good Shepherd in John, chapter 10, the Lord tells us that He is the Good Shepherd; that His true sheep, "follow him because they know his voice and recognize his call. They will never follow a stranger, but will run away from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers" (v. 4-5).

We have an epidemic here in America and around the world: ravenous wolves-in-sheep's clothing, masquerading as prophets of God, pastors, bishops, teachers, etc. - who are leading many in the Body astray with a watered-down gospel, false doctrine & destructive heresies, traditions of men, and doctrines of devils. Many who profess Christ as Lord and Savior, are following and listening to these, what Jesus calls "thieves and robbers" (v. 1). Many, He has not sent to shepherd over His flock! They climbed in some other way! They are nothing more than hirelings who serve for wages (v. 12).

He goes on to tell us in verses 27-28, "The sheep that are My own hear My voice and listen to Me; I know them, and they follow Me. 28 And I give them eternal life, and they will never, ever [by any means] perish; and no one will ever snatch them out of My hand." So the question becomes, whose voice are you listening to? In these last days, we must be sure that we are listening to only one voice: the Lord Jesus Christ's. The only One who shed blood for you! He is the only One you follow and not the howl of a wolf, pretending to be a sheep! Live clean. Be holy. Consider all your ways before the Lord. Amen! 🎯 REPENT and BELIEVE and TURN back to God!

Glory be to God! ** 🙋🏾‍♀️ STAY TUNED UNTIL THE VERY END OF THIS EPISODE! ** 🚩TUNE IN EVERY 2 TO 3 DAYS FOR NEW EPISODES! Follow me on Facebook under AuntCynthia Whitaker 😊💥 Join me today as I discuss: knowing the difference between a true prophet of God and a false prophet who receives a word by other means, such as divination, fortune-telling, or sorcery, whether a word from their own minds or from other false gods. These corrupt dishonest messages are NOT of God and, therefore, cannot be trusted. Their message contradicts what God instructs, often appealing to our earthly cravings or passions. And ultimately, they produce “bad fruit.” And you must be able to spot them! The Bible tells us to beware of false prophets who would lead us astray from God's will and plan for our lives. Scripture says to "test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world" (1 John 4:1). AMEN! To best recognize the false prophet, we should diligently study the Bible and guard our heart and mind against following anyone other than the Son of God, Jesus Christ. We don't follow strange voices beloved!!

What does it mean to prophesy? The word “prophet” comes from a Hebrew word that means, to bubble forth, like a fountain, or to utter, speak, or “pour forth” an announcement. A prophet is meant to receive a message from God — whether a verbal directive or other words or as a vision or dream — and then communicate that message to the people. Therefore, it is critical in these last days to know what false teachings are and how to avoid them, for they permeate throughout the apostate church today, headed up by ravenous wolves in sheep's clothing!! Here are just a few, but there are many more:

👉 Jesus Christ Isn’t Divine.

👉 No One Can Be Holy.

👉 You Can’t Be Sure Of Your Salvation.

👉 There Is No .

👉 The Prosperity Gospel.

👉 Once Saved Always Saved.

👉 All Religions Are Basically The Same.

👉 Universalism.

👉 Salvation By Works.

👉 There Is No Trinity.

Beware of these doctrines of devils so that you will not be led astray and end up back on the broad way to ! Study! Study! Study the Word of God and work out your own salvation with fear and trembling! Be holy. Live Clean! Consider all your ways before the Lord! Amen! 🎯 REPENT and BELIEVE and TURN back to God!

Glory be to God! ** 🙋🏾‍♀️ STAY TUNED UNTIL THE VERY END OF THIS EPISODE! ** 🚩TUNE IN EVERY 2 TO 3 DAYS FOR NEW EPISODES! Follow me on Facebook under AuntCynthia Whitaker 😊💥 Join me today as I discuss: Jesus said to be saved, you must REMAIN FAITHFUL/ENDURE UNTIL the END! So is salvation conditional? Do we have to work it out with fear and trembling? The answer to both is YES! This lesson will most certainly go against everything your "pastor" has told you about "eternal security." They have said, "You're going to go to Heaven with Jesus Christ NO MATTER what you do!" Well, we know that to be untrue and unscriptural. There's no possibility of anyone who has tasted the heavenly gift, tasted the good word of God, having become partakers of the Holy Spirit (study Hebrews 6:4-6), only to have willfully, through betrayal, fallen away from Christ, can expect to hear Him say to them on Judgment Day, "...‘Come, you blessed of My Father [you favored of God, appointed to eternal salvation], inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world" (Matthew 25:34). Not possible!

Is eternal security available? YES!! For the ONE WHO REMAINS FAITHFUL to Lord Jesus and ENDURES UNTIL THE END! For THAT one, there is most certainly eternal security! Jesus said of His true sheep, "... I give them eternal life, and they will never, ever [by any means] perish; and no one will ever snatch them out of My hand" (Study John 10:28-29). Amen! It makes perfect sense! The one who endures until the end, the same shall be saved; Christ Jesus tells us this in Matthew 24:13. Scripture is unanimous, in order to have eternal life, we must remain faithful to the One who shed His blood on a Roman's cross for the sins of the world. Reconciling us back to God through His atoning sacrifice. Going forward, we sin not!! By grace we are saved, through faith in Jesus Christ. Therefore, no one can boast, through their works/merits, they've earned salvation. It is a free gift from God alone. On the same token, genuine faith produces works of righteousness as good bearing fruit in the life of a believer. Therefore, if we do not continue to abide in Christ Jesus, we will become withered branches that will be cut down by God, bundled together, and thrown into the fire to be burned (study Matthew 15:6). Salvation is conditional and it can be lost, IF if we DON'T hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end (study Hebrews 3:6). In other words, if we turn away from Christ by going back out into the "world," getting tangled up, and enslaved by sin all over again we... FORFEIT OUR SALVATION! We have fallen from grace!

What makes the false doctrine of "Once Saved/ Always Saved" so damnable, appealing and erroneous? It teaches that you can stay stuck in your willful, deliberate, settled, blatant, practicing sin and still get favor and blessings from God - receiving eternal life ANYWAY. This appeases the guilty conscience and strokes the ego. Lulling rebels that they are still "good" with God; when in fact, they are not! They are deeply deceived and need to repent, for they are back on the broad road to ! The Word of God is replete with warning after warning about not living holy, not remaining faithful and diligent, and not taking care that we don't fall away from Christ in high treason. Jesus said we must remain faithful until the end! PERIOD! We can't live this life in Christ being in sin, and expect to get in! Not happening! Amen! Be holy. Live Clean. Consider all your ways before the Lord! 🎯 REPENT and BELIEVE and TURN back to God!🚩As mentioned in the podcast, here is the link for those scriptural warnings that salvation can be lost: https://mygospel.info/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Plain-Laws-and-Warnings.pdf

(DISCLAIMER: DURING THE OPENING PRAYER, I MISQUOTED AND SAID "REVELATION 11." THE CORRECT SCRIPTURE IS REVELATION 7:11!) Glory be to God! ** 🙋🏾‍♀️ STAY TUNED UNTIL THE VERY END OF THIS EPISODE! ** 🚩TUNE IN EVERY 2 TO 3 DAYS FOR NEW EPISODES! Follow me on Facebook under AuntCynthia Whitaker 😊💥 Join me today as I discuss: Every step we take, every path we pursue, every corner we turn, leads somewhere. Therefore, consider, consider, consider: "Am what I'm doing pleasing to the Lord?" Examine, examine, examine, your ways (your coming and goings) for it can cost you your very soul! We can't live for self and then forget about what God wants! We can't "live our best lives ever" and give no consideration to the plans, purposes, and directives of the Lord God Almighty who sent His Son to save us! Living pridefully like this, will only end in eternal destruction and eternal separation from Him!

🎯 Proverbs 5:21, "For the ways of man are directly before the eyes of the LORD, And He carefully watches all of his paths [all of his comings and goings]." Amen!

🎯 Haggai 1:5, "Now therefore, thus says the LORD Almighty: Consider your ways!" Amen!

🎯 Paul tells us in Ephesians 4:1, "... to live a life worthy of the calling to which you have been called [that is, to live a life that exhibits godly character, moral courage, personal integrity, and mature behavior—a life that expresses gratitude to God for your salvation]." Amen!

So, how are you living your life? Are you looking to please yourself or are you looking to please God? For we live life on God's terms, not ours! THAT is where mankind has missed it. We want what we want, when we want it! Forgetting that when we sow to this flesh, from it, we shall reap eternal destruction! God will not be mocked! That is why we must CONSIDER our WAYS! How are we truly living in these last days before Christ returns to judge the inhabited world in righteousness? Amen! Live holy! Be clean! Consider all your ways before the Lord! 🎯 REPENT and BELIEVE and TURN back to God!

Glory be to God! ** 🙋🏾‍♀️ STAY TUNED UNTIL THE VERY END OF THIS EPISODE! ** 🚩TUNE IN EVERY 2 TO 3 DAYS FOR NEW EPISODES! Follow me on Facebook under AuntCynthia Whitaker 😊💥 Join me today as I discuss: Join me today as I discuss: What delights the Father? Our righteousness in Christ Jesus delights Him! When we obey and listen to Him, He takes great delight! We are called to walk in righteousness and we shall see the Lord! It delights the Father when we, His children, obey. We show Him that we love Him when we obey! Obey and we shall live forever! For the Lord has spoken! He takes us by the hand and leads the way to eternal life. When we follow Jesus, we'll NEVER BE LOST AGAIN!!

We will be looking at Psalm 23 to see how we, INDEED, have a Great Shepherd that makes us, "to lie down in green pastures." He leads us, "beside the still waters." He "restores" our "soul." Leading us, "in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake." Amen!

The Lord Jesus tells us in John 10, "I am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd lays down His [own] life for the sheep." "The sheep that are My own hear My voice and listen to Me; I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they will never, ever [by any means] perish; and no one will ever snatch them out of My hand." Amen!

Therefore, since we know these things, we do not live a life characterized by sin! We believe that Jesus died for our sins on the cross, and He was buried, and on the third day, God raised Him from the dead. He died to sin, being made a sin offering. That means we have been set free from the bondage of sin and it is no longer our master! We by God's amazing grace, reject ungodliness and immoral desires! We live clean. We live holy. And we live lives in obedience to the Father and to the Son, as the Holy Spirit sanctifies us; awaiting for the second coming of our Lord to receive eternal life! 🎯 REPENT and BELIEVE and TURN back to God!

Glory be to God! ** 🙋🏾‍♀️ STAY TUNED UNTIL THE VERY END OF THIS EPISODE! ** 🚩TUNE IN EVERY 2 TO 3 DAYS FOR NEW EPISODES! Follow me on Facebook under AuntCynthia Whitaker 😊💥 Join me today as I discuss: What happens to "...the one who does not believe [and has decided to reject Him as personal Savior and Lord]" (study John 3:18). People who love their darkness more, rather than coming to Christ Jesus, in sincere repentance, will die in their sins and then be judged! That is why the Gospel is preached to the unsaved world, crying aloud and sparing not: that the soul that sins, will die! If they do not repent and turn from sin and come to Christ Jesus, their fate will be eternal destruction; tormenting forever in the Lake that burns with fire and brimstone (burning sulfur)!

How much more so then, should a child of the living God remain out of sin and abide continually and faithfully in Christ Jesus, lest they, also, face the same fate? For if we continue to deliberately sin, our only expectation is of judgment and raging fire! God is not a respecter of persons! Ezekiel 18:24 makes it plain about turning away from our righteousness: “But when the righteous man turns away from his righteousness and commits sin and acts in accordance with all the repulsive things that the wicked man does, will he live? All of his righteous deeds which he has done will not be remembered because of the 👉🏾treachery that he has committed and for his 👉🏾sin which he has committed; 👉🏾for them he shall die." 🥺😥

That is why it is imperative that we take a look at and identify what the Bible calls acts of lawlessness. For if we continue to practice in these things, the wrath of God will be upon the sons of disobedience; and that includes us who are righteous, but get ourselves ALL tangled up and enslaved by sin again! Let us never forget, Scripture is unanimous, the unrighteous will not be inheriting God's Kingdom, but will die and go straight to , being "tormented in this flame" (Luke 16:24) awaiting final Judgment! Amen! Live clean. Be holy. Stop sinning!

Glory be to God! ** 🙋🏾‍♀️ STAY TUNED UNTIL THE VERY END OF THIS EPISODE! ** 🚩TUNE IN EVERY 2 TO 3 DAYS FOR NEW EPISODES! Follow me on Facebook under AuntCynthia Whitaker 😊💥 Join me today as I exhort the Body of Christ: Have you DIED to sin? Or are you still a SLAVE to it? There are some questions that needs to be answered to determine where you are in the faith. Are you an outlaw? Do you practice lawlessness? Are you, in fact, a rebel? A slave to sin? Let me just come out and ask you to your face... Do you obey God? Do you even listen to Him? Are you calling yourself a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ and you STILL deliberately, knowingly, and habitually practice sin?

Beloved, it is not possible for a true born-again, blood-bought, New Covenant, Spirit-filled, follower of the Lord Jesus Christ to consistently, habitually, blatantly commit willful sin! Not possible! Why? 1 John 3:9 tells us why: "No one who is born of God [deliberately, knowingly, and habitually] practices sin, [*WHY?] because God’s seed [His principle of life, the essence of His righteous character] remains [permanently] in him [who is born again—who is reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, and set apart for His purpose]; and he [who is born again] 👉🏾👉🏾cannot habitually [live a life characterized by] sin, because he is born of God and longs to please Him" (* my insert) (AMP). THAT'S WHY! Amen.

Therefore we, as true children of the Most High God, CANNOT live impure lives and have very little desire to please God. We don't practice wickedness as a lifestyle on a daily basis! Do you not know God turns such people over to a reprobate mind? Those who have reprobate minds live corrupt and selfish lives. Sin is justified and acceptable to them. The reprobates are those whom God has rejected and has left to their own devices. We must not deceive ourselves to believe we have fellowship with the Father and the Son and be in willful sin at the same time! For if you do so, you face the wrath of God and Scripture is unanimous - you are not a child of the living God, but a child of the devil! Amen! SO MAKE SURE YOU TUNE IN! Live clean. Be holy. Stand firm until the end! 🎯 REPENT and BELIEVE and TURN back to God! Please visit my website to learn more: https://backtogod-ministries.webnode.page

Glory be to God! ** 🙋🏾‍♀️ STAY TUNED UNTIL THE VERY END OF THIS EPISODE! ** 🚩TUNE IN EVERY 2 TO 3 DAYS FOR NEW EPISODES! Follow me on Facebook under AuntCynthia Whitaker 😊💥 Join me today as I discuss: Two topics: #1 Are you worthy of Jesus? #2 Sins that will send you to ! We are talking about these two topics because, Christ tells us in Mark 8:34-38, that we are to: take up our cross daily and follow Him. That whoever desires to come after Him and follow Him, must deny themselves. We must lose our lives for His sake and the gospel's. Because at the end of the day, for not doing so, He gives us this sad and dreadful commentary: (v.36) "For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?" 😔😥

Some of us in the Body of Christ act like we don't know what sin is! Listen, the price we pay for sin is DEATH! That is why we must turn from our wickedness, turn from riotous living, turn from sexual immorality, turn from worldly lust and passions, turn from rebellion against God... And turn to the only One that can save us - the Lord Jesus Christ! You are now free to be holy - now live like it!!

As children of God, these are our marching orders and truths of our freedom from sin because of the atoning sacrifice of Christ on our behalf at the cross. As well as the consequence of if we abide NOT in Christ, but remain in willful, habitual, practicing sin, we face the wrath of God:

👉🏾 John 8:10-11, "When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? 11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more."

👉🏾Romans 6, "7 For the person who has died [with Christ] has been freed from [the power of] sin...11 Even so, consider yourselves to be dead to sin [and your relationship to it broken], but alive to God [in unbroken fellowship with Him] in Christ Jesus...14 For sin will no longer be a master over you, since you are not under Law [as slaves], but under [unmerited] grace [as recipients of God’s favor and mercy]."

👉🏾Ephesians 5, "5 For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person-such a person is an idolater-has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. 6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God's wrath comes on those who are disobedient. 7 Therefore do not be partners with them." Amen! DO NOT BE DECEIVED BELOVED, THE UNRIGHTEOUS WILL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD! 🎯 REPENT and BELIEVE and TURN back to God!

Glory be to God! ** 🙋🏾‍♀️ STAY TUNED UNTIL THE VERY END OF THIS EPISODE! ** 🚩TUNE IN EVERY 2 TO 3 DAYS FOR NEW EPISODES! Follow me on Facebook under AuntCynthia Whitaker 😊💥 Join me today as I discuss: These prosperity preachers are coming out of the woodwork with false repentance! The Lord Jesus Christ shows us in the Gospels what true repentance looks like when a wealthy, corrupt man have cheated others: "8 But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount.” 9 Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham. 10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost" (Luke 19). Amen! That's what it looks like! When you cheat people out of money, you make restitution in line with your repentance. If in fact, you are truly repentant!

But guess what folks? There is not a whole lot of true repentance going on in the prosperity, charismatic circles, as they would want us to believe! But they have found out is, a new way to get EVEN MORE money out of you! It is, indeed, a new gimmick! 2 Peter 2 tells us what they are up to: "3 In their greed they will make up clever lies to get hold of your money." 13..."They love to indulge in evil pleasures in broad daylight. They are a disgrace and a stain among you. 👉🏾They delight in deception even as they eat with you in your fellowship meals."

Without even apologizing for bilking tens of millions of dollars out of gullible and naive people (🙋🏾‍♀️🙋🏾‍♀️) over the decades, behind the false doctrine of tithing and sowing money seed, they claim they have "learned" the errors of their wrong teaching(s). And how they will NOT apologize, because it taught THEM a lesson 🤦🏾‍♀️! HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR THAT LESSON, they would not have understood (and received revelation) that New Testament, New Covenant, blood-bought followers of the Lord Jesus Christ, are in fact, NOT required to tithe, nor are they under the Law! Well, hello👋🏾! Welcome to the party pastor! We already know this through careful study of the Word of God, for ourselves, to know that you and the rest of the wolfpack have been greedily deceiving people out of their money for years!!! Folks listen, they have figured out, yet, another way to dupe you out of your money and they are doing this, once again, through the twisting of the Word of God under the doctrine of Grace! It is really sickening!

So please tune in today to find out how they've have come up with a new way to get even MORE money out of you! Do not be deceived, they have not truly sincerely repented. They have just found a new way to finagle and wrangle money out of you. Be not mistaken, it is the same wolf! He or she have just put on another "sheepskin," but underneath, it is still the same old wolf! BEWARE! Amen! DO NOT BE DECEIVED! 🎯 REPENT and BELIEVE and TURN back to God!
