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: Galatians 5:19–21. It speaks of the works of the flesh, saying they are "evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these."

We cannot be deceived into thinking that we could stay in willful, deliberate, practicing lawlessness/sin and still get to go to Heaven! It is NOT possible my friend! And that is why we in the Body of Christ must know what sin is and what will keep us out of the Kingdom of God! The flesh is a contender and there IS a war going on the inside of our regenerated spirit. But that doesn't mean we give into sin! Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior paid a huge price with His perfect life so that sin and its controlling power would no longer have dominance over us and our lives!

When the Bible speaks of the “flesh,” it is often referring to our natural sin tendencies. We are all born with a sin nature (Romans 5:12). Our natural inclination is to please ourselves any way we see fit. However, we are to consider ourselves “crucified with Christ” (Galatians 2:20) and our old sin nature dead (Romans 6:2, 11), but the flesh does not die easily. SO LET'S GET INTO IT! 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 read from John 3:16-21, Titus 3:1-11 and 1 Corinthians 6:9-12. Folks, whether we like or agree with it, WE ARE CALLED TO LIVE GODLY LIVES! Christ died for the sins of the world, so that we come out of darkness, be set free from the controlling power & DOMINATION of sin, and come to Him - for He is the Light! We MUST REPENT And BELIEVE and TURN back to God! The core message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ is that you can be reconciled and restored back to God through the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ! God has made a way for us to be in right standing with him again like before the "Fall of Man" if only you repent (change the way you THINK about sin and God - for God HATES SIN!) and believe in His one and only begotten Son as Lord and Savior! We are commanded to live holy, righteous, and repentant lives in Christ, by the leading and work of the Holy Spirit to the glory of God, the Father, in Heaven. Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, exhorts and remind us in these Scriptures that: "3 For we too once were foolish, disobedient, deceived, enslaved to various sinful desires and pleasures, spending and wasting our life in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another. 4 But when the goodness and kindness of God our Savior and His love for mankind appeared [in human form as the Man, Jesus Christ], 5 He saved us, not because of any works of righteousness that we have done, but because of His own compassion and mercy, by the cleansing of the new birth (spiritual transformation, regeneration) and renewing by the Holy Spirit, 6 whom He poured out richly upon us through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 so that we would be justified [made free of the guilt of sin] by His [compassionate, undeserved] grace, and that we would be [acknowledged as acceptable to Him and] made heirs of eternal life [actually experiencing it] according to our hope (His guarantee)" Titus 3-7. Amen! Also, he exhorts us in 1 Corinthians 6:9, to be not DECEIVED: THE UNRIGHTEOUS WILL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD and he lists those sins that will keep us out! Listen: We all must wake up 'cuz, JUDGMENT DAY IS FASTLY APPROACHING! So Be Holy!! 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: When you are dealing with a corrupt preacher, pastor, bishop, prophet, etc., who is a counterfeit, these 8 things you will always hear them saying or doing. They do these things and say these things because they have been deceived and are CORRUPT! Paul, in 1st Timothy 6, tells us they are of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth; who think that godliness is a means to financial gain! PAUL SAID TO WITHDRAW YOURSELF from them! I'm sharing this lesson because our precious sister in Christ, Sharon Johnson, over there on her YouTube channel and Bible teaching ministry/ outreach, MOTIVATINGU2WIN, has by the grace of God, put together this list for our edification and awareness: we cannot allow ourselves to be tricked, bamboozled, and deceived by wolves in the pulpit! Not only pastors, but also if any Christian, any believer, is doing these things, they're your enemy! THEY'RE DANGEROUS TO YOUR SPIRITUAL WALK! You should consider getting away from these people, because eternity is forever! We must repent and turn from sin! The Bible warns us that bad company corrupts good morals! We must all turn from sin, REPENT, and come out from amongst these false brethren! Amen!

🎯 Repent and believe and turn back to God!

** DISCLAIMER: (I never did get around to Romans 3! Will save that text for another episode! Sorry guys! 🤗) ** 🙋🏾‍♀️ BUT 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 how idolatry is THOUGHTLESSNESS towards God! It is careless to go running after "modern-day idols" in your life and forget about God and ALL that He had done for you, namely: SENDING JESUS TO SAVE US FROM THE WRATH OF GOD TO COME! Folks, it is "spiritual prostitution" when we abandon and neglect our Heavenly Father by turning our backs, and not our faces, to Him! It is a spiritual "crime" to seek after the pleasures & treasures of this earth and leave God, your Creator, in the dust, without so much as a "Thank You!" We will see in the book of Jeremiah the contention between the Holy One of Israel and His chosen nation: the Israelites, who were consistently running after pagan idols, disobeying God’s commands and were a stiff-necked adulterous generation! Because of their disloyalty and sin, God has sent evil men as His instrument in punishing Israel for their evil, treacherous, idolatrous practices, and disobedience! So what does that tell us today? Never forget God, never forget the Good News of our salvation and not to run after the idols in our lives, but to keep God first, obey Jesus and do the work of spreading the Gospel: to preach repentance for the forgiveness of sins, because God sent us a SAVIOR who has reconciled us back to Himself! 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 pose the question: What Does It Mean To Love Jesus? What does it mean to love God with your whole heart, mind, soul, and strength? Well our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ tells us in John 14:21, "The person who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who [really] loves Me; and whoever [really] loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and reveal Myself to him [I will make Myself real to him]” (AMP). We love Jesus by OBEYING Jesus! To make the story short, we understand this very important truth we find in Scripture, that time is of the essence and we MUST TURN from sin! Why? 👉🏾 "Therefore God overlooked and disregard the former ages of ignorance; but now He commands all people everywhere to repent [that is, to change their old way of thinking, to regret their past sins, and to seek God’s purpose for their lives], 👉🏾31 because He has set a day when He will judge the inhabited world in righteousness by a Man whom He has appointed and destined for that task, and He has provided credible proof to everyone by raising Him from the dead" (Acts 17:30-31) AMP. 💥 At the end of the day: "Jesus replied, 'If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word. My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him" (John 14:23). 'Nuff said! 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 GOT MY HAMMER OUT! I'm discussing: 3 (DISTINCT) SPECIFIC TESTS TO RECOGNIZE A FALSE TEACHER / PROPHET!

I'm in caps for a reason my friend: THE SAME PROBLEM THAT WAS GOING ON IN JESUS' DAY, IS GOING ON IN THE MODERN CHURCH TODAY: CORRUPT CHURCH LEADERS WANT RECOGNITION, HOMAGE, FORTUNE, AND WORSHIP FROM GOD'S PEOPLE! WE HAVE MODERN DAY PHARISEES WHO WANT TO RULE THE CHURCH WITH THEIR MAN-MADE TRADITIONS AND DOCTRINES OF DEVILS, DECEIVING THE PEOPLE OUT OF THEIR MONEY! BUT GLORY BE TO GOD, JESUS TOLD US IN MATTHEW 24:4-5: "And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many." He also said “a tree is recognized by its fruit” (Matthew 12:33). 

Jesus warned us that “false Christs and false prophets” will come and will attempt to deceive even God’s elect! The best way to guard yourself against falsehood and false teachers is to know the truth by studying the Word of God - FOR YOURSELF! RULE OF THUMB: Judge ALL teachings by what the Scriptures says.

SINCE WE KNOW THAT THERE'S A FALSE CHURCH SYSTEM AT WORK IN THESE LAST DAYS - BE ALERT, SOBER-MINDED, REPENTANT, AND TEST EVERY SPIRIT TO SEE IF THEY TRULY ARE FROM GOD! TAKE HEED THAT NO ONE LEAD YOU ASTRAY!

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 (tearfully at 😭 the end) discuss: How examining 1 Peter 4, that exhorts us NOT to return to the reckless lives we once lived, serves as a reminiscent to leave the "unrestrained,"  "shameless sensuality, lusts, drunkenness, carousing, drinking parties, and wanton idolatries" (v. 3) in the past! We are called to stand firm through it all since, we now have a Savior who laid down His life us! But make no mistake, you will have haters and enemies because you are "a new creature" in Christ! The Bible tells in verses 4-5: "In [connection with] all this, they [the unbelievers] are resentful and surprised that you do not [think like them, value their values and] run [hand in hand] with them into the same excesses of dissipation and immoral freedom, and they criticize and abuse and ridicule you and make fun of your values. 5 But they will [have to] give an account to Him who is ready to judge and pass sentence on the living and the dead." We know that "bad company corrupts good morals," THEREFORE, we must "have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness!"

...Then we go over to John 6, where my waterworks 😭 really flow! So make sure you tune in until the very end! 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: What your life looks like when you are not following Christ Jesus, but rather going by the dictates of your own fleshly plans, schemes, and ambitions that you have set forth - WITHOUT GOD! Non-followers of Christ, are those people who reject the doctrine and teaching of Jesus Christ. They would rather follow this pagan, narcissistic, Bablyonian, Luciferian, Christ-rejecting sinful "world," than the One who ACTUALLY died for their sins! So follow me as I give you 7 consequences that you can expect when you are not following the Lord Jesus Christ. Never let us forget: THERE'S A COST IN FOLLOWING JESUS - Surrendering Your Life To Him! Jesus said that you must be prepared to DENY, yourself, PICK UP your cross, and come FOLLOW Him! But, as we'll see today, what we have failed to realize...is that NOT FOLLOWING Christ is costlier! 😭 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 MINDSET: We Are Called To Live As Children Of The Light – As He Is In The Light, So Shall We Be Also! We Must Repent And Put Away Every Sin That So Easily Besets Us!

Today, it's all about finding out what pleases our Heavenly Father, how we ought to be living in Christ Jesus - being led by the Holy Spirit and what sins will send us straight to , if we don't repent. Let us never forget: 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! When you've been truly born-again: You are now free to be holy - so don't return back to that jail cell! We have been set free to live clean, holy and righteous lives! Christ Jesus has set us free! If the Son has set you free, you are free indeed! Jesus makes it clear in John 8:12 when He said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will 👉not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." So, the implication and expectation that if we ARE following Christ, then we will NOT walk in darkness! We cannot be in violation of the Scripture and expect for all to be well in our lives! When we meet the REAL Jesus, sin no longer holds its fatal attraction. Grace changes things. “Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?” (Romans 6:1–2). When we are born again (John 3:3), the power of the Holy Spirit breaks the power that sin once had over us (Romans 6:6). Once we lived only to please ourselves, but when we have been forgiven, our motivation changes. We now live to please God (Galatians 2:20). AMEN!!!

🎯 Repent and believe and turn back to God!

The LAW Was Nailed! Christ Has Freed You!

** REPOST EPISODE (March 24, 2021) ** Follow me on Facebook under AuntCynthia Whitaker ☺️👑😊 Join me today as we TALK ABOUT THE SYSTEM OF THE LAW AND HOW CHRIST JESUS ENDED IT! Ephesians 2:15 tells us that Jesus broke down the wall of hostility that separated the Jews and the Gentiles. He did this by ending the system of Law with its commandments and regulations. He made peace between Jews and Gentiles by creating in Himself one new people, together as one Body. Jesus reconciled both groups to God by means of His death on the cross and the hostility towards each other was put to death. NOW all of us can come together to the Father through the same Holy Spirit because of what Christ has done for us. The Law of Moses was given to the children of Israel and not to the Gentiles - that includes us in the 21st century. Christ died a horrific death on the cross and nailed the written code that was against us, He took it out of the way, nailing it! Jesus blotted out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us - which was contrary to us, it stood against us! He set it aside, He canceled the certificate of debt that was against us and He did this through His sacrificial death! We obey the Law of Christ - which is LOVE! When we love God with our whole hearts, minds, souls and strength and when we love our neighbors as ourselves, we're not going to sin against God and we're not going to sin against/with our neighbor! All of the Law and the prophets now hang on those two commands. It is not the letter of the Law we follow, for those laws are now written on our hearts because of the love of Christ that He had for us when He willingly gave up His life for us! Amen! 🎯 Repent and believe and turn back to God!
