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 MUST BE BORN-AGAIN TO INHERIT GOD'S KINGDOM! And the only way to this Kingdom, is through the atoning sacrifice of God's Son, the Lord Jesus Christ! Jesus died on the cross for your sins, so that God's righteous wrath🔥would no longer be upon you!

So now that you are born-again, you cannot "buck up against" the Holy Spirit! You are commanded to live holy and righteously in this Kingdom, so STOP RESISTING! You have to understand, you have been called out from darkness into God's marvelous Light! You don't get to go back to your sin, nor do you disobey God! No longer do you reject the sound teaching of your Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! The Bible tells us from Genesis to Revelation, that we must obey God and serve Him only; and for New Testament saints, Jesus is now the Lord of our lives! HE HAS FINAL SAY! No longer do we look to mere mortals or ourselves to live this new life! We are commanded to live holy; and through God's grace, it teaches us to reject ungodliness and worldly (immoral) desires, and to live sensible, upright, and godly lives, as we await the soon return of our Lord! So don't grieve the Holy Spirit of God! Stop bucking against holy living! Don't frustrate Heaven with your madness! Amen! 🎯 Repent and believe and turn back to God!

**(REPOST)** 🚩At the 55:53 mark, I'd mistakenly said that it was the Babylonians who burned down Jerusalem. When in fact, it was the Romans! My apologies! 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: Why it is critical that we put away all sin that's so easily besets us! God is not playing where it comes to sin! A deep price was paid for us to be ransomed out of the kingdom of darkness! Our Father in Heaven sent the Lord Jesus Christ to come to this world to die for the sins of many! And if we deliberately keep on sinning after coming to the knowledge of Truth, there is no more sacrifice for sins! What's there left for God to do with you? Your only expectation is of raging fire (study Hebrews 10:26-31)! For this, we're looking at some of the reasons why we must stop sinning! SIN SEPARATES US FROM GOD! 🚨 Jesus said that the world will be much the same before He returns to set up His earthly Kingdom (Matthew 25:31–33). He warned us to “be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect Him" (Matthew 24:44). Amen! 🎯 Repent and believe and turn back to God!

You must repent or you will perish! To Perish: 🔥🔥 YOU ARE HELLBOUND! It means to live in your body without Christ Jesus being your Lord and Savior. For when you die, you will go to , as you await Final Judgment! (study Revelation 20:10-15)

👉🏾You want some wisdom - Fear the LORD! (see Proverbs 3:7)

👉🏾You want some understanding - depart from evil! (see Job 28:28)

The Lord Christ Jesus died on the cross for our sins. He took the punishment that was rightly due to us because we racked and stacked up a huge sin debt before the Living God - you and I stored up God's wrath against us, because we refused to repent and put away the sin! We must REPENT and come to Christ Jesus so that through His shed blood, we can have forgiveness of our sins! We must NOT REJECT what Christ has done for us on the cross! We must obey the Gospel BY RESPONDING TO HIM!

The Bible tells us in Romans 3 - "2 This righteousness of God comes through faith in Jesus Christ for all those [Jew or Gentile] who believe [and trust in Him and acknowledge Him as God’s Son]. There is no distinction, 23 since all have sinned and continually fall short of the glory of God, 24 and are being justified [declared free of the guilt of sin, made acceptable to God, and granted eternal life] as a gift by His [precious, undeserved] grace, through the redemption [the payment for our sin] which is [provided] in Christ Jesus, 25 whom God displayed publicly [before the eyes of the world] as a [life-giving] sacrifice of atonement and reconciliation (propitiation) by His blood [to be received] through faith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness [which demands punishment for sin], because in His forbearance [His deliberate restraint] He passed over the sins previously committed [before Jesus’ crucifixion]. 26 It was to demonstrate His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be just and the One who justifies those who have faith in Jesus [and rely confidently on Him as Savior]." AMP

🎯 THEREFORE, WITH REJECTION OF GOD AND THE GOSPEL OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, COMES ETERNAL CONSEQUENCES: "...when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels in a flame of fire, 8 dealing out [full and complete] vengeance to those who do not [seek to] know God and to those who ignore and refuse to obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus [by choosing not to respond to Him]. 9 These people will pay the penalty and endure the punishment of [a]everlasting destruction, banished from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power." 2 Thessalonians 1:7(b)-9 (AMP) AMEN!

🎯 Repent, stop SINNING, BELIEVE by FAITH that Jesus died for your sins and TURN back to God and walk in obedience henceforth!

GLORY BE TO GOD!

Follow me on Facebook under AuntCynthia Whitaker 😊💥 Join me today as I discuss: "...knowing that this is a critical time. It is already the hour for you to awaken from your sleep [of spiritual complacency]; for our salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed [in Christ]" Romans 13:11 (AMP) Amen!

Folks, we better wake up - MAKE NO MISTAKE, JESUS IS COMING AGAIN! 

He said in Revelation 22, "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). 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End [the Eternal One].” 14 Blessed (happy, prosperous, to be admired) are those who wash their robes [in the blood of Christ by believing and trusting in Him—the righteous who do His commandments], so that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter by the gates into the city. 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)." Amen! 'Nuff said!

THE GOSPEL OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST: Christ Jesus died on the cross for your sins, according to the Scriptures, He was buried, and on the 3rd day, God raised Jesus from the dead, according to the Scriptures (study 1 Corinthians 15:3-4). He took the punishment that was rightly due to you because you racked and stacked up a huge sin debt before the Living God - you and I stored up God's wrath against us, because we refused to repent and put away the sin! We must repent and come to Christ Jesus so that through His shed blood, we can have forgiveness of our sins! We must not reject what Christ has done for us on the cross! We must obey the Gospel! DON'T REJECT CHRIST! IT HAS ETERNAL CONSEQUENCES! YOU WILL GO TO , AS YOU AWAIT FINAL JUDGMENT AT THE GREAT WHITE THRONE!

🎯 Repent, stop SINNING, BELIEVE by FAITH that Jesus died for your sins and TURN back to God and walk in obedience henceforth! AMEN!

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: DON'T CONTAMINATE YOURSELF WITH SIN AGAIN!! In other words, DON'T GO BACK TO YOUR VOMIT 🤮! Got the hammer out today folks! You must get the understanding: that you have been set FREE from the controlling dominance that sin once had over you!

Romans 6:12-14 “Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts. And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.”

The Bible is clear in that, it promises the faithful disciples of Christ: Victory over sin! In other words, it is God’s intention for His servants that they CEASE COMPLETELY FROM SIN! God's grace is amazing and through this remarkable, undeserved, favor it teaches us to:

"...reject ungodliness and worldly (immoral) desires, and to live sensible, upright, and godly lives [lives with a purpose that reflect spiritual maturity] in this present age" (Titus 2:12).

At the end of the day, Judgment Day is coming! Romans 13:11-14, tells the whole story that we BETTER WAKE UP to:

"11 Do this, knowing that this is a critical time. It is already the hour for you to awaken from your sleep [of spiritual complacency]; for our salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed [in Christ]. 12 The night [this present evil age] is almost gone and the day [of Christ’s return] is almost here. So let us fling away the works of darkness and put on the [full] armor of light. 13 Let us conduct ourselves properly and honorably as in the [light of] day, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and irresponsibility, not in quarreling and jealousy. 14 But clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for 👉🏾🤮[nor even think about gratifying] the flesh in regard to its improper desires." 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 we learn how: We have been saved by God’s grace and that the blood of Jesus cleanses (purifies) us from ALL unrighteousness / wickedness! "For the [remarkable, undeserved] grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all. 👉🏾It teaches us to reject ungodliness and worldly (immoral) desires, and to live sensible, upright, and godly lives [lives with a purpose that reflect spiritual maturity] in this present age" (Titus 2:11-12). AMP AMEN!

👉🏾To purify means to: clean, make pure, decontaminate, freshen and sanitize, etc. To make ceremonially clean is to: purge, cleanse, free, unburden, deliver, redeem, exorcise, and sanctify. 

Let us be forever reminded of what the precious shed blood of Jesus has done (and continuing to do) for born-again followers:  "But you were washed [by the atoning sacrifice of Christ], you were sanctified [set apart for God, and made holy], you were justified [declared free of guilt] in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the [Holy] Spirit of our God [the source of the believer’s new life and changed behavior]" (1 Corinthians 6:11) AMP. Amen! 🚩(Note: As promised, here's the link to 18 verses on purification: https://dailyverses.net/purify/nlt/kjv). 🎯 Repent and believe and turn back to God!

I want to give a special acknowledgement to our brother and sister in Christ, John & Catherine, whom I had the awesome great pleasure of meeting up with yesterday to introduce me to two people who have recently come into the Kingdom! It was a great afternoon of fellowship (right there in the parking lot!) as we were encouraging these precious souls of what to expect now they are born-again! As I was so inspired, the Holy Spirit led me to put down 18 things of what babes in Christ can expect now that they have been transferred from the kingdom of darkness to the Kingdom of God's dear Son.

So, I would like to encourage all new believers (and remind those already in the Family) that now that you have been born-again, you are a new creature! That old man, aka, that "sinful nature" you'd inherited from Adam, has died! Your spirit has now been regenerated by the Holy Spirit upon your new birth in the Lord Jesus Christ! That old man with its sensual, sinful nature no longer lives! You now must put on the "new man" in Christ Jesus. You will over time, as the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit begins, start to sin less and less, as you get to know our Heavenly Father better and better. You will come to hate sin just as much as He does! Now that you have sincerely repented (meaning - changing your inner self—your old way of thinking, regretting past sins, living your life in a way that proves repentance and seeking God’s purpose for your life), this what you can expect:

🎯 1. To live a clean and sensible life. You are commanded to live holy. 

🎯 2. You are to no longer love this PRESENT EVIL WICKED VILE SINFUL "world."

🎯 3. ALL YOUR LOVE NOW FOCUSES ON YOUR SAVIOR! HE'S YOUR LORD; commitment to the Lord Jesus Christ takes precedence over all else!!

🎯 4. You must love God with EVERYTHING WITHIN YOU: Christ Jesus gave us two great commandments to follow. 

🎯 5. Your Discipleship will be Tested! You must COUNT the cost of what it truly means to follow Jesus. 

🎯 6. DO NOT worship any pastor, preacher, prophet, prophetess, bishop, pope, or teacher EVER! JESUS SAID NOT TO CALL  ANYONE TEACHER OR FATHER! WE ARE ALL BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN CHRIST! FOR IN THIS KINGDOM, WE ARE all on the same level. THERE'S ONLY ONE HEAD AND THAT IS CHRIST JESUS AND HIM ALONE! 

🎯 7. You are to study the Bible before you go into anybody's church, so that you would learn how to DISCERN the voice of Jesus, the real Jesus! He said, "My sheep knows My voice!"

🎯 8. You are to "Go, and sin no more." NO QUESTION!

🎯 9. You are to live a born-again repentant lifestyle. 

🎯10. You must allow the Holy Spirit to work the sanctification process out in your life. 

🎯 11. You are no longer a -BOUND sinner on your way to a burning , as you await final judgment AT THE GREAT WHITE THRONE. 

🎯 12. You are not required NOR commanded by God to attend a brick-and-mortar building for "church" fellowship, but if you are led to attend a church, make sure they don't carry false doctrine, TRADITIONS OF MEN & DOCTRINES OF DEVILS!

🎯 13. You are to love fellow believers. 

🎯 14. You must know what sins will keep you out of the Kingdom of God.

🎯 15. You must remain faithful to Jesus - no matter what!

🎯 16. You must stay out of sexual sin. POINT BLANK! AND PERIOD!

🎯 17.  Love your enemies.

🎯18. BEWARE OF FALSE PROPHETS & TEACHERS! Don't let these blind guides lead you into the same ditch as them!

Amen! 🎯 Repent and believe and turn back 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: A lesson in Bible history - it's best to OBEY and LISTEN to God, rather than incur His holy wrath because of willful disobedience! We can look at the HIGH DRAMA, murder, false imprisonment, and the rejecting and abandonment of the God of Israel told in the book of Jeremiah, namely, chapters 42-44 to see how it all goes wrong when you don't obey the Word from the LORD our God 😬😩, when because of your OWN SIN, He's now having to deal with you, through His righteous judgement and discipline!

Don't be like the remnant of Judah (who in later chapters, were looking to escape exile from God's servant, Nebuchadnezzar,  by fleeing to Egypt - AGAINST the Word from the LORD to stay as a remnant in Judah!) who defiantly said when God told them of their pending judgement if they do not repent: "Now then, say to the men of Judah and to the citizens of Jerusalem, ‘Thus says the Lord, “Behold, I am shaping a disaster and working out a plan against you. Turn back, each of you from his evil way; correct your habits and change your actions for the better.”’ 12 But they will say, ‘That is hopeless! For we are going to follow our own plans, and each of us will act in accordance with the stubbornness of his evil heart" (Jeremiah 18:11-12 AMP). 😲😔 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: God’s chosen people, the Israelites, were not faithful to Him at all! They thought they didn't need God...until they got into trouble, that is! God showed them time and time again that THEY NEEDED HIM! And not the other way around! Old Testament Scriptures have a wealth of hard-learned lessons about the consequence of when a faithless people DEFY the commands of their true God! Who refuses to listen even though He sent His servants, the prophets, to repeatedly say to them: "let every one of you turn from his evil way" and repent! So in Jeremiah, chapter 35, we see this account of the Rechabites' honor and obedience to the commands of their forefathers, in stark contrast to Israel's disobedience to their God, who is worthy of greater praise and WORTHY of greater honor! And yet, they failed to submit!

And unfortunately, in the 21st century, we see the Church not obeying and faithfully following the commands of the Father nor of the Son either! You see, the problem is...the Church still wants to be partners with this "world" and make provision for their flesh; although, we were given the command, "Do not love this world nor the things in the world," and "reject all ungodliness" and sensuality! We must do better Church! We must obey and remain faithful to our God and Savior. Lest we forget Jesus' somber words to the deceived feigned "follower," "I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity” (Matthew 7:23). Jesus is not breaking off the relationship here—there was never a relationship to break off! Amen! 🎯 Repent and believe and turn back to God!
