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: The preaching of 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! Therefore, as children of the Most High God, we live lives with a purpose: to serve our Lord and Master who purchased us with His precious sinless blood. By God's grace, we say "No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age! We live in this evil world with godly wisdom, righteousness, and devotion to our Heavenly Father! The Lord Jesus Christ commands us to, "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it" (Matthew 7:13-14). Amen! We are to place our lives before God in dedicated service as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable; which is our reasonable service!

Therefore, we no longer live a lifestyle of habitual sin! Because at the end of the day, if we were ever confused about this mandate, John gives us the clarity of the situation: "The person who lives a sinful life belongs to the devil, because the devil has been committing sin since the beginning. The reason that the Son of God appeared was to destroy what the devil does. Those who have been born from God don’t live sinful lives. What God has said lives in them, and they can’t live sinful lives. They have been born from God. This is the way God’s children are distinguished from the devil’s children. Everyone who doesn’t do what is right or love other believers isn’t God’s child" (1 John 3:8-10 ). Amen! Be holy. Live clean! 🎯 REPENT and BELIEVE and TURN back to God!

Glory be to God!

💥 DISCLAIMER - My apologies. Street preaching comes with environmental noises in the background, whereby you will hear everyday life in action. Therefore, the audio may not be as crisp or clear as studio recording (toward the end, there will be pauses in the recording). Again my apologies. It's a whole different ball of wax when you're out here in these streets! Be blessed!

🙋🏾‍♀️ Hey everyone! 😊💥 Join me today for some open air street preaching #3 of the Gospel! I, by the grace and mercy of God, am taking it to the streets ONCE AGAIN to implore people to repent and turn from their wicked ways before it is too late! We cannot live this life apart from God. Apart from the atoning sacrifice of Lord Jesus, we are all filthy wretched sinners on our way to a burning . But God in His demonstrated love, sent the world a Savior to save people from their sins and from the coming of His just and holy wrath. Christ Jesus, the promised Messiah, came preaching repentance when He began His earthly ministry. That message is still being heralded by His many messengers in the earth!

JUDGMENT DAY IS COMING! You must repent, BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE! TURN from sin, put your complete faith and trust in Jesus as Lord and Savior! The Word of God says you shall live (eternally) and not face everlasting punishment (John 3:16) in the Lake that burns with sulfur and brimstone!

JESUS PREACHED ONE MESSAGE: REPENT OR PERISH! 🔥🔥🔥

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: You are going to be hated! You are going to be despised! You will be misunderstood, you will be insulted, you will be called judgmental and self-righteous. Why? All because you are bringing the wholesome TRUE teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ and His soul-saving, heart-pricking Gospel to a godless "world" who hates Him! Therefore, they will hate you too because you carry His message. When we stand with the Lord Jesus Christ, expect rejection, expect persecution!

But guess what? THAT'S A WONDERFUL THING! SO REJOICE!

Lord Jesus says, “Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you” (Matthew 5:10-12 ). Amen!

He tells us in the following passages why He's hated and why you will be likewise:

🚩John 3:19-20 - "This is the judgment [that is, the cause for indictment, the test by which people are judged, the basis for the sentence]: the Light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil. 20 For every wrongdoer hates the Light, and does not come to the Light [but shrinks from it] for fear that his [sinful, worthless] activities will be exposed and condemned."

🚩John 15:18 - “If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before it hated you."

🚩John 15:25 - "But they have done this to fulfill the word that is written in their Law, ‘They hated Me without a cause.’"

🚩Matthew 10:22 - "You will be hated by all because of My name, but it is the one who has endured to the end who will be saved."

🚩Matthew 24:9 - "Then they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name."

See beloved, that's why you will be hated, but don't take it personal! Folks, this AIN'T personal. This is Kingdom Business! No servant is greater than His Master. We've counted the cost of what it truly means to be a Christ follower! Expect the confrontation and rejection! It's supposed to happen if you are preaching the true Gospel! If they persecuted and hated our Lord and Savior, rest assured you will be persecuted and hated as well. IT'S TO BE EXPECTED 🙂!

Let us all be encouraged and remain faithful to Jesus and endure until the end, ANYWAY, for great is our reward in Heaven! 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: There are false prophets and teachers AMONG us. We will be looking at the text in 2 Peter 2:1-3 where the apostle warns us about these false prophets and teachers that they, "through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not" (v.3). The term “make merchandise of you” refers to the exploitation of people perpetrated by deceivers for their own self gain. It means that they will make money off you or draw money out of you, through deceptive practices. This could also be called, “fleecing the flock.” Such extortion is accomplished through deceptive persuasions, heretical teachings, testimonial claims and exaggerated stories. They beguile the "unstable soul" (v. 14) because that soul REFUSE to study the Word of God for themselves, as not to be deceived!

Folks listen! You got to realize, we have an enemy who is an enemy of our God, and his name is Satan. He is looking to take you straight to the Lake of Fire right along with him. AND he will use "his ministers" (2 Corinthians 11:13-15) and his "children" (1 John 3:10) to do exactly that, if we don't wake ourselves up and be not blind to his many devices and schemes. Now is NOT the hour to bury your head in the sand and heap upon yourselves false teachers and prophets who promise freedom, but they themselves are slaves to corruption and sin. These men, these women we are going to be talking about today, are taking no prisoners! They are callous, heartless, unmerciful, and unsympathetic. Peter says they are "a disgrace and a stain among you." They are cold-blooded, hard-hearted and uncompassionate when it comes to getting their money bag! These people DO NOT care about your soul! Make no mistake! They feed you twisted and taken out of context Scripture, they isolate the Word of God in order to beguile you. Their sole motive is not preparing you to meet the living God, but to become rich off of your ignorance and laziness. DON'T BE DECEIVED! STUDY THE WORD OF GOD FOR YOURSELF AND COME OUT FROM AMONGST THESE WOLVES! THEY ARE HOWLING ALL AROUND THE WORLD!

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: The unbiblical doctrine of "eternal security" that, essentially, states that nothing can cause a "believer" to be disfellowshipped from God once a person is "saved." This dangerous doctrine of demons flatly contradicts Scripture, and it is commonly used as a smokescreen to justify sinful lifestyles. In other words, this dogma from the pit of , “once saved, always saved," appeals to the most carnal leanings of our humanity and gives false legitimacy for sin!

Listen, it is ridiculous to think (not to mention an affront to God's holiness) that we can stay in willful sin and still get to go to Heaven behind this dogma. This is a teaching straight from Satan himself. You are not safe yet until either Jesus returns, or you go by the way of the grave, then we shall have eternal life... if we'd remained faithful to Jesus! As we will see in the Scriptures today, we must continue to abide in Christ Jesus. Salvation is not unconditional, it is conditional.

There are many passages in the Bible that teaches us if we remain faithful, if we endure until the end, if we stand firm then... we shall be saved! It is replete with admonitions and exhortations to not fall away.Those who love this false doctrine want to have their cake and eat it too! They don't want to do the work of righteousness! They rather believe the teachings and traditions of men, rather than the wholesome teachings of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, who preached "repent or perish!" They rather believe what the pastor says because the pastor "entertains" and make them "feel welcomed!" Whereas, Christ demands discipleship and discipline and loyalty! They rather heap upon themselves teachers that will tickle their ears and not rebuke them! They are taught that no matter what they do, they cannot out-sin God's amazing grace. Meanwhile, they are being lured back on the broad way to ! They love to twist what Jesus said in John 10. Jesus was not talking to the rebellious disobedient follower. He was talking to the one who hears His voice and obeys Him. That is the one who remains in His hand and cannot be plucked out!

It is eternally destructive to think that all one has to do is "believe on Jesus" and not produce fruits of repentance. It's a sad day in the Body of Christ when you have the brethren scoffing at righteous and holiness teachings so that they can continue in what the Bible calls "practicing lawlessness." They are being seduced by spirits who get their teachings from demons to lead God's people astray. Do not be deceived! The unrighteous, even those who profess Jesus, will not inherit the Kingdom of God. The Lord did tell us that many will say on that day, "Lord Lord" and He will tell them to, "Depart from Me I never knew you!" Amen! 🎯 REPENT and BELIEVE and TURN back to God!

Follow me on Facebook under AuntCynthia Whitaker 😊💥 Join me today as I discuss: Some people claim that if we say repentance is necessary for salvation, we’re adding works to the Gospel. They claim that if repentance is required, then we’re no longer saved by God’s grace alone but, by what we do as well! But what does the Scripture say? Jesus says, “I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance” (Luke 5:32). When Peter preached the truth about the Lord Jesus Christ in Acts chapter two, he left thousands of listeners wondering what they should do next in order to be saved. HE TOLD THEM TO REPENT FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF THEIR SINS! You can’t separate faith and repentance. To be saved, you must place faith in Christ for the forgiveness of sins. THAT decision requires a change of mind, or REPENTANCE, about your way of life. Both happen at the same time. According to the unanimous testimony of Scripture, as we will see, repentance is ABSOLUTELY necessary in order to be saved. Only those who turn from their sin, trust in Christ, and live lives that are characterized by righteousness, will be saved on the last day. Repentance, properly defined, is NECESSARY for salvation. Biblical repentance is changing your mind about your sin—no longer is sin something to toy with; it is something to be forsaken as we “flee from the coming wrath” (Matthew 3:7). It is also changing your mind about Jesus Christ—no longer is He to be mocked, discounted, or ignored; He is the Savior to be clung to; He is the Lord to be worshiped and adored. Amen! 🎯 REPENT and BELIEVE and TURN back to God!

We must respond to Jesus' finished work at the cross with a resounding "YES" and with total acceptance, receive Him as Lord and Savior - BY FAITH! Without Jesus, there will be no salvation, there will be no reconciliation, and there will be no Eternal Life! Everything hinges on whether or not you repent, believe that Jesus died for your sins, and turn back to God! Amen! The core message is that YOUR SINS CAN BE WASHED AWAY BY THE PRECIOUS SHED BLOOD OF JESUS! God Hates Sin! SO DON'T be a slave to sin! He has called ALL men everywhere to repent and come to Christ! This is what evangelizing is all about folks - getting in Christ's harvest, helping Him in the recovery mission of the lost, encouraging men/women/teens to turn from their sins, and TURN to Christ! Tomorrow's not promised! TO-DAY is the day of your salvation! Praise God for His mercy! Hallelujah!

✨ THE GOSPEL OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST

The Lord Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins, and then was buried, and on the 3rd day, by the power of the Holy Spirit, God resurrected Jesus from the grave! Through His death, burial, and resurrection, Jesus has set us free from the control and power sin had over our whole entire lives! He defeated death by His resurrection - by remaining alive 'til this very day! Amen! We must believe this Gospel. WE MUST OBEY THIS GOSPEL!! We must REPENT of our sins - FORSAKE them and never return back to the vomit! We must be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ (“not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal to God for a good conscience" 1 Peter 3:21). We must now have a change of mind where sin and God is concerned. God hates sin! God is Holy! God is just and righteous! AND HE HAS STANDARDS! Therefore, we must hate sin just as much as God does! We must do a 180° turn and go back to God - AND OBEY HIM HENCEFORTH!

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 on the podcast as I exhort the Body of Christ Paul's warning to his protégé Timothy: "Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; 3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth" (1 Timothy 4:1-3).

We are talking about what is a doctrine of demons and why in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils. You have to understand, Christ Jesus warned us that there will be false prophets and false christs before He returns. He also warned us of wolves-in-sheep's clothing who look like innocent sheep, but on the inside, are ravenous wolves - looking to tear you apart with teachings that comes NOT from the Holy Spirit, but from DEMONS! These are the ungodly teachings from Satan that are being promulgated throughout the Church and unless you are immersed in the Word of God for yourself, you will be led astray by these seducing spirits. The Bible teaches that those who follow the doctrines of demons, “will fall away from the faith.” Heeding the doctrine of demons is a serious matter, because it involves a departure from the truth of Christ’s gospel.

These doctrines of demons are delivered through human corrupt instructors: “Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron” (1 Timothy 4:2). These false teachers are hypocritical; that is, their lives do not evidence the holiness they seemingly espouse. They are liars; that is, they deal in falsehood and knowingly lead others into apostasy. And we would do well to steer clear of them and adhere to the sound teachings of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Amen! 🎯 REPENT and BELIEVE and TURN back to God!

Follow me on Facebook under AuntCynthia Whitaker 😊💥 Join me today as I discuss: Following Jesus, will cost you everything! We do not sell out the truth we have received from God's Word in order to be accepted into this pagan culture! We buy the truth, and sell it not! That means we don't compromise the wholesome teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ in order to "go along, to get along" with those who hate the Truth. Beloved listen, if you know the truth, and you toss it aside in exchange for anything else, you’ve sold out.

Buy the truth and sell it not! We seek to obtain (buy/acquire/possess) the truth in God's Word! You know evil when you see it, because the Lord told you it was in His Word! You know what God's Word says about evil and if you compromise that truth and shrink from it in order to not "offend" someone or rock someone's irreligious boat, you sell out! You give up that which is precious for what is temporal. You are selling out what you know to be the truth, in order to please men rather than pleasing God, to Whom you have to give an account. Let us not forget that point. To buy something, we obtain it, we own it and to some, it has great value. You are not looking to give it away.

Proverbs 23:23 - tells us, "Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.

It is vital that we take the time that we have here on earth and apply it to knowing God - and as we know Him - walking with Him in wisdom throughout our days. The benefit to knowing truth - buying it and getting wisdom, instruction, and understanding, is that we learn to live for the things that truly matter: knowing God and obeying the Gospel of our Lord Jesus. We also learn to steer clear of things that will harm us in the end. That way at the close of our lives we will not spend our time in regretting the things we've done and regretting the way that we've lived our lives. Amen! 🎯 REPENT and BELIEVE and TURN back to God!

Follow me on Facebook under AuntCynthia Whitaker 😊💥 Join me today as I discuss: God has given the world the most greatest gift possible - salvation and redemption! He has made a way for sinners to be made right with Him, and that is through the atoning sacrifice of His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. Those who put their complete trust in Him, shall not perish, but have everlasting life. That is why we preach repentance in Jesus' name. For salvation comes through repentance!

You can't be a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ and not give Him thanks! You cannot be a child of the living God and not give Him thanks for all that He has done for you! He saved us. He sent us the Lord Jesus Christ. He's gave us His Holy Spirit. He gives us eternal life so, you mean to tell me there is nothing you can thank Him for?!

What do we have to be grateful for?Be grateful for your salvation. Be grateful that we have the awesome privilege to get to know God and His Son, which is eternal life. Be grateful that your name has been written in the Lamb's book of Life. Be grateful that He gives us another day to repent of our sins and walk holy before Him. Be grateful that we are in His Body to love one another and serve one another in unselfish love. Yes, we have a lot to be thankful and grateful for! Amen! 🎯 REPENT and BELIEVE and TURN back to God!
