Repent and Believe Podcast w/ Cynthia Smalls

** 🙋🏾‍♀️ 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: John 14:6 "Jesus said to him, “I am the [only] Way [to God] and the [real] Truth and the [real] Life; no one comes to the Father but through Me" (AMP). In these words, Jesus was declaring Himself the great “I Am,” (the sixth of the memorable “I am” statements) the only path to Heaven, the only true measure of righteousness, and the source of both physical and spiritual life. He was staking His claim as the very God of Creation, the Lord who blessed Abraham, and the Holy One who inhabits eternity.

So YES, Jesus is the ONLY way to Heaven! Such an exclusive statement may confuse, surprise, or even offend, but it is true nonetheless!! The Bible teaches that there is no other way to salvation than through Jesus Christ. He is not "a way," as in one of many; He is THE WAY, as in the ONE and ONLY!! No one, regardless of reputation, achievement, special knowledge, or personal holiness, can come to God the Father, except through Jesus. PERIOD!

Eternal life in Heaven is made possible ONLY THROUGH THE LORD JESUS CHRIST! LET US NOT BE MISTAKEN of two things: #1 - No one shed blood for you, but Christ Jesus! # 2 - "And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among people by which we must be saved [for God has provided the world no alternative for salvation]” Acts 4:12, (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 ask some questions: Are You Living in INIQUITY? Iniquity is sin at its worst. Iniquity is premeditated, continuing, and escalating sinful behavior/lifestyle against God! So, are you in a lifestyle of this continued deliberate sin with no remorse? Have your conscience become so seared with unrepentant sin, that you no longer have the desire nor the capability to confess it to God to receive forgiveness? Have you fallen so far from the living Christ, that you've taken God's grace as a license to sin and have mocked the blood covenant that sanctified you by trampling the Son of God underfoot? 

Well my friend, if you have answered "Yes" to any of these questions, then you are living in INIQUITY - a state of living rebelliously, blatantly and shamelessly in willful sin, not even wanting to turn away! Friend, you must repent and come out of this backslidden lifestyle before it is too late - Judgment Day is coming and you need to be ready for Jesus' return!! We who follow Jesus, are are commanded to lives that "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).

Also, we're taking a look at the differences between “Sin,” “Iniquity,” and “Transgression.” All three communicate the same idea: evil and lawlessness, as defined by God (1 John 3:4). All these wicked and evil acts are in contrary and stands against God’s holy standards and righteous commands He has given His chosen ones to obey. 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: the definition of iniquity, God’s hatred for sin and those who stay rebelliously in it, and that we are commanded to live sensible! Live clean! Live holy and godly lives! WE MUST HATE SIN JUST AS MUCH AS GOD DOES! Jesus paid a huge price for our freedom on the cross! Sin no longer is our master!!

The Bible presents God’s attitude toward sin with strong feelings of hostility, disgust, and utter dislike! Sin always brings separation, and the fact that God hates sin, means that He hates being separated from us, who have called on the Lord Jesus to be saved. His love demands restoration, which in turn demands holiness!

God hates sin because it enslaves us and will eventually destroy us. God hates sin because it blinds us to the truth. God hates sin for the same reason that light hates darkness and truth hates a lie. God wants His children to “have the full riches of complete understanding” (Colossians 2:2), and sin only gets in the way. God hates sin for the simple reason that sin separates us from Him. God also hates sin because of its subtle deceitfulness, which entices us to focus on worldly pleasure to the exclusion of God’s blessings. God hates sin because it is the very antithesis of His nature. His holiness epitomizes His moral perfection and His absolute freedom from blemish of any kind. Again, therefore, ...WE MUST HATE SIN JUST AS MUCH AS GOD DOES! 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 read from: Titus 2:11-15; 3:1-10 on What is Ungodliness? What is the condition of the ungodly? What does progressive sanctification looks like in the life of a born-again believer in Christ Jesus?

The Bible talks of “the ungodly” as those who are separated from God. Ungodliness is the condition of being POLLUTED WITH SIN. To be ungodly, is to act in a way that is contrary to the nature of God, to actively oppose God in disobedience, or to have an irreverent disregard for God.

Generally speaking, the ungodly are those who do not know God through Jesus Christ. They have rejected God’s Son and remain in their sins. Those who are in Christ, have their sins forgiven and are becoming more godly, by putting away willful sin in their lives. Believers naturally seek to remove all ungodliness from their lives.

Glory be to God, we are no longer numbered among the ungodly, even though we still fight our fleshly urges and sometimes act in ungodly ways. Nonetheless, we remain abiding in Christ Jesus, staying on the road that is STRAIGHT and that is NARROW! 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 we take a study look at Hebrews 10: Christ's sacrifical sufficiency & expectation of fiery judgment! In order to understand what lies ahead for the one who continues to willfully, deliberately, knowingly, blatantly sin against God, we really need to start from verse 1, where the One Sacrifice of Christ Is Sufficient! His atoning sacrifice on our behalf is once for all time! 'Cuz, by the time we reach verse 38, you will with clarity, undeniably, absolutely most certainly, see that God loves His Son and He won't tolerate on any day of the week, you trampling over Jesus' precious blood that was poured out, that was shed for you and I! Oh my friend, we will see like the Bible says in verse 31, "It is a fearful and terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God [incurring His judgment and wrath]." 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: Romans 1:18-32 ~ God’s just and holy wrath against sinful humanity and why He is angry with men! The book of Romans is really, in my humble opinion, the golden book of the Bible. It's really about the Good News of how God is reconciling sinful man to a Holy God through the Lord Jesus Christ. But, we realize that in this book of Romans, if we are to recognize and exalt the Gospel, it must begin with an understanding of the bad news. What is the bad news you say? Well, the bad news is this, Romans 1:18 (AMP) tells us that God is angry with sinful man, "For [God does not overlook sin and] the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who in their wickedness suppress and stifle the truth."

In these verses (18-32), you can trace the descent and the downfall of man. And it starts with them denying the existence of God, our Creator! A step at a time, you trace how they degrade themselves, how man falls further and further and further away from God. That's why God is angry with man. These Scriptures tell us 3 reasons why God is angry with man: 

#1. Denial -  Anyone who attributes the existence of the world to chance, or to a different "creator" is already guilty of deliberately rejecting God, because to deny the true God, one must set aside common sense! [See v. 21(a) ]

# 2. Darkness - The Bible tells us that man goes into a state of denial and because he rejected God, he is going to go into a state of darkness. He goes into a state of spiritual blindedness. [See v. 21(b) - 22 ]

#3. Desecration - After denial, after darkness, this man is going into a state of desecration. He shames God, he insults God! Desecration is a profanity, it is a misrepresentation of God and that is what man does - he slips into idolatry. He actually runs away from the True and Living God and goes to make for himself an idol (made of stone, wood, people, animals, metals, material possession, self, family, career, money, etc.) [See v. 23]

And it all began when man denies the existence of God...so, "24 Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their own hearts to [sexual] impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them [abandoning them to the degrading power of sin], 25 because [by choice] they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen" (Romans 1). AND THAT IS WHY GOD IS ANGRY WITH SINFUL MAN! Amen! ## 💪🏾💪🏾TUNE IN! You're not gonna want to miss today's episode! 🎯 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: What lies ahead for the follower of Jesus' who remains faithful until the end (see Matthew 24:13-14). We must be holy, live clean and righteous, and repentant lives; obeying the Father and Lord Jesus, being led by the Holy Spirit! Essentially, STAYING OUT OF BLANTANT SIN!

We will be looking at the book of Revelation, chapters 21 & 22, that teaches us about "the holy city, the New Jerusalem coming down from God out of Heaven like a bride beautifully dressed for her husband!" There is so much goodness awaiting us when Jesus returns, namely: Eternal Life! Who wouldn't want to spend eternity with the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ in the New Kingdom? Don't you want to be an inhabitant of the New Jerusalem - that beautiful city that God promised to those who stand firm until the end? The key is that you must be born again! You must repent of your sins, change the way you think about sin and hate it just as much as God does! Jesus died for your sins, so you won't face God’s wrath on Judgment Day. Jesus is clear, when He said that no one can enter the Kingdom of God without being born again, read John 3, the whole chapter! There is a consequence to sin - and that is to be eternally separated from the Father and from the Son and from their glory over there in that Lake of Fire FOREVER! The bottom line is that Jesus said "I am coming soon, bringing my reward with me to repay all people according to their deeds" (Rev. 22:12)! My friend, "Do not be deceived, the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God" (1 Corinthians 6:9)! Don't miss out on the best thing that can ever happen to a living soul - the coming and glory of the Lord Jesus Christ when He will say to the one who endures until the end, "Well done, good and faithful servant!" Don't miss out on the goodness! Amen! 🎯 Repent and believe and turn back to God! 💥 Please make sure you tune in... lost souls are on the line & they need to be snatched from 's fire!

** 🙋🏾‍♀️ 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: Do not waste anymore time in sin then you've already have! Don't do it my friend, it will cause you to look back in utter disgust at how much time you've wasted, when you could have been serving the Lord the whole time! That whole time could have been put to much use for Kingdom business! The harvest is plenty and here you are, being a slave to sin and a worker of iniquity...on your way to a burning and then onto Final Judgment! Now tell me again, how "sin is the big time fun," 'CUZ, IT AIN'T MY FRIEND! 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: MY BRETHREN, DON'T GIVE UP YOUR SALVATION, BY GOING BACK TO YOUR VOMIT!! BACK TO YOUR OLD WAYS OF WICKEDNESS...DON'T DO THAT!

Beloved, there is no cushion where sin is concerned.  That is why most people love the false doctrine of O. S.A.S. (once saved/always saved)! It allows them...it affords them a false sense of security, that they can stay in willful practicing sin and still get to go Heaven! No my friend! That's not how THIS Kingdom works! You CANNOT turn your back on Jesus and go a-whoring back out there to that fallen, lustful, depraved, wicked, Christ-rejecting world when the Father, thru His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, rescued and delivered you from the slavery and bondage to sin!! Like LITERALLY, snatching you from 's fire! Look, Paul begs the question:

Galatians 4:9 - "But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how can you turn back again to the weak and worthless elementary principles of the world, whose slaves you want to be once more?" YO, THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION!

We are to not GO BACK to that Christ-rejecting world, ran by Satan! PERIOD! My friend, NOW that you've tasted the goodness of the Lord...how could you??! "Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the Kingdom of God?" "Do not be deceived!" May you continue to walk the straight and narrow path that leads to eternal life... 'cuz we only get ONE LIFE to live and then after that, ...certain Judgment! Be Holy! Be wise! Remain faithful to Jesus! Remember, He's on His way back!! 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: THE BOTTOM LINE: IF you remain in Christ you WILL have eternal life!

But if you DON'T, you will be eternally separated from God and the Lord Jesus Christ in the Lake of Fire, which the Bible calls the "second death." The dead branches are gathered and thrown into the fire! That is why the damnable teaching of "Once Saved/Always Saved" is putting MANY people back on the road to ! It teaches that you can stay stuck in WILLFUL BLANTANT sin and still get to go to Heaven! It lulls them into a false "eternal security" that Jesus NEVER promised! That is a false teaching. We are not saved! We are BEING saved through the sanctification process in Christ Jesus: living in righteousness and holiness with a clear conscience - being led by the Holy Spirit. It's about walking in obedience and faithfulness to the Father; turning from sin and forsaking it! It is not until Jesus comes back when our resurrected bodies shall be glorified - that is when we reach glorification! That is when we'll receive the promised gift of eternal life. WE DON'T GOT THIS IN THE BAG! It's all about standing firm and enduring until the end; not getting tangled up and enslaved by sin again! 

Ezekiel 18:24-26 says it all!!

"But when a righteous person turns away from his righteousness and does injustice and does the same abominations that the wicked person does, shall he live? None of the righteous deeds that he has done shall be remembered; for the treachery of which he is guilty and the sin he has committed, for them he shall die. “Yet you say, ‘The way of the Lord is not just.’ Hear now, O house of Israel: Is my way not just? Is it not your ways that are not just? When a righteous person turns away from his righteousness and does injustice, he shall die for it; for the injustice that he has done he shall die." 

As promised in the podcast, here's the link to 100 Scriptures that tells us all about going back to our unrighteous wicked ABOMINABLE ways, having turned FROM righteousness found only in Christ Jesus... well there's eternal consequences for that: HEBREWS 10:26-27~ "For if we go on willfully and deliberately sinning after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice [to atone] for our sins [that is, no further offering to anticipate], 27 but a kind of awful and terrifying expectation of [divine] judgment and the fury of a fire and burning wrath which will consume the adversaries [those who put themselves in opposition to God]." AMEN! 🎯 Repent and believe and turn back to God!
