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 and warn: God has appointed a Day on which He will judge the world in righteousness and has appointed Jesus to be that Judge! The unrepentant will stand in final sentencing before Him at the Great White Throne to give accounting of those things recorded in the "books." The righteous will stand to receive rewards as faithful servants of Christ, while on the earth, at the Judgment Seat of Christ. Revelation 20:12 tells us, "And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the Book of Life; and the dead were judged according to what they had done as written in the books [that is, everything done while on earth]." All throughout Scripture, it tells us that when Christ returns, "For the Son of Man will come in His Father's glory with His angels, and then He will repay each one according to what he has done" (Matthew 16:27). And again, Revelation 11:18,

"And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth." The Lord is saying that when He returns, His reward will be with Him; and will give to every man according to his deeds. For He "searches the heart and examines the mind to reward a man according to his way, by what his deeds deserve" (see Jeremiah 17:9-10). Therefore, how are we ought to live before then, knowing this Day is fastly approaching; it will hasten and not delay? 13 "So prepare your minds for action and exercise self-control. Put all your hope in the gracious salvation that will come to you when Jesus Christ is revealed to the world. 14 So you must live as God’s obedient children. Don’t slip back into your old ways of living to satisfy your own desires. You didn’t know any better then. 15 But now you must be holy in everything you do, just as God who chose you is holy. 16 For the Scriptures say, “You must be holy because I am holy" (1 Peter 1). Amen! 🎯 Repent and believe and turn back to God!

Follow me on Facebook under AuntCynthia Whitaker 😊💥 Join me today as I discuss: Don't the unrepentant and back-sliding Christ follower have the right to hear that if they don't stop sinning, they will go to A BURNING , as they await the Final Judgment 🔥, and that they must repent? WE ARE COMMANDED IN JUDE 1:23 ~ "Save others by snatching them from the fire; to others show mercy, mixed with fear—hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh." I'm putting the following all in caps for a reason: JUDGMENT DAY IS FASTLY APPROACHING! THERE IS COMING A DAY SOON, WHEN JESUS WILL RETURN TO THIS EARTH HE CREATED TO USHER IN HIS MILLENNIAL KINGDOM AND TO DEAL WITH HIS ENEMIES, ONCE AND FOR ALL! ...AND, THAT IS WHY MY FRIEND, GOD HAS CALLED MEN EVERYWHERE TO REPENT... NOW! THE REASON BEING IS FOUND IN ACTS 17:30-31:

"30 Therefore God overlooked and disregarded 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.” THAT'S WHY MY FRIEND,

we must tell the lost and the religious back-slider that there will be "weeping and gnashing of teeth" if they stay in unrepentant sin! We cannot water down the Gospel just because there are selfish people out here who are offended by its message! ... And it's the SAME message that Jesus preached in Mark 1:15 (AMP), "and saying, “The [appointed period of] time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent [change your inner self—your old way of thinking, regret past sins, live your life in a way that proves repentance; seek God’s purpose for your life] and believe [with a deep, abiding trust] in the good news [regarding salvation].” 🎯 Repent and believe and turn back to God!

Follow me on Facebook under AuntCynthia Whitaker 😊💥 Join me today as I discuss: No one who continues to live in willful sin knows God. We will be looking at 12 examining traits of the believer who have put their trust in the Lord Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, obeys God's commandments, and is growing in grace. Folks, we cannot deceive ourselves into believing that we have fellowship with God, and still be in willful, deliberate, practicing sin! We must not be deceived! In the life of the true born-again believer, there will evidence of a decreasing pattern of sin in his or her life. Here is what John says:

“No one who lives in [Christ] keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him” (1 John 3:6)

and

“We know that God’s children do not make a practice of sinning, for God’s Son holds them securely, and the evil one cannot touch them” (1 John 5:18). A Word from the Lord: The Lord Jesus Christ says that we are to come out of our sin, for there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth! Today is the day that you harken unto the voice of the Lord and you must repent! Jesus says that He is on His way back and His reward will be with Him! He will give to every man according to his deeds and according to his ways. He says to turn and come to Him while there's still a chance; open the door and seek Me with your whole heart! Folks, as we are living in these last days, we must not let sin have dominion over our lives. Jesus defeated sin and abolished its control in our lives! Therefore, we must live holy and we must live righteously until Jesus comes back, or we go by the way of the grave. There is nothing on this earth worth you going to for! You must be born again, you must turn from your wicked ways and turn to God! Those who are in the faith, you must remain faithful and endure until the end! For we will not escape Jesus' righteous judgement if we don't forsake sin! Live holy! “Produce fruit in keeping with repentance” (Matthew 3:8). 🎯 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 face this sad reality: If you've spent time in any one of these apostate churches, you have not met the True and Living God; neither have you met the real Jesus Christ, because They are not where wolves-in-sheep's clothing roam! Therefore, I will be discussing what the Bible says is our purpose for existence, because the false Church tells you that God wants you to live "your best life now!" But He says that your purpose is, “that (you) understand and know ME” (study Jeremiah 9:24)! So, we're taking a look at Jeremiah 9:23-24, because it's in there, God tells us what NOT to boast in, and what TO boast in - and it is not in YOUR OWN: wisdom, nor in your physical beauty or strength, nor in your money and possessions! We are to boast in the fact that we know God on a personal intimate level, through the atoning sacrifice of His Son! That we truly know Him and understand that "He is the LORD who demonstrates unfailing love

and who brings justice and righteousness to the earth,

and that He delight in these things." Why? "13 For He has rescued us and has drawn us to Himself from the dominion of darkness, and has transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, 14 in whom we have redemption [because of His sacrifice, resulting in] the forgiveness of our sins [and the cancellation of sins’ penalty]" (Colossians 1:13-14). THAT'S WHY 😊! Our Lord Jesus prayed in John 17:3, "And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent." 💥 For that my friend, is our purpose! 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 joyfully discuss: YOU HAVE BEEN SET FREE FROM SIN! As believers, we are dead to sin, alive to God! PERIOD! Folks, that's some good news! "We know that our old self (our human nature without the Holy Spirit) was nailed to the cross with Him, in order that our body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin" (Romans 6:6). We are looking at the liberating revelation in Romans, Chapter 6, that "sin will no longer be a master over you" (v. 14). Do you not know, that you don't have to give in to sin's commands and strong-armed tactics like some helpless flunky?! You, through the sacrificial death, burial and resurrection of Christ Jesus, are no longer slaves to sin! We have been set free! "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. Therefore, do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its lusts and passions" (vs. 11-12). We see this theme all throughout Romans 6: SIN has lost its grip on our lives and it no longer has a say, dominion, mastery and control!! Christ Jesus nailed sin to the cross! "For the person who has died with Christ has been freed from the power of sin" (v. 10)! That is why I am delighted, by the Holy Spirit, to teach on this wonderful chapter, because for so long, as believers, we have been DECEIVED, in the grips of sin, thinking that we had no control over it AND THAT WE WERE JUST STUCK IN IT! NOPE! In today's lesson, we will learn how to give sin the big "buh-bye!" DUECES! ✌ The mindset is: "My relationship with you sin, is OVER!" SEE YA!! 🚩 (**FYI: Jeremiah 9:23-24, was the Scripture I was trying to remember at the end of the podcast 😁!)

** 🙋🏾‍♀️ 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 share a wonderful "golden nugget" I saw in the Word of God as I was studying today!! I'm so happy about it, that I'm doing cartwheels in the spirit! BUT I'M NOT GOING TO TELL YOU! You must tune in to find out, 'cuz friend, this will change your walk with God and our Lord, Jesus Christ - IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE! 😄 🎯 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 our favorite topic: The BIBLICAL understanding on DIVORCE, REMARRY & ADULTERY! Marriage is for life!! YUP, we're getting into it today folks! As long as the Holy Spirit continues to prompt me to exhort on this important teaching of Jesus', by the grace of God, shall I! 👉🏾IF YOUR 1ST COVENANT SPOUSE IS STILL ALIVE AND YOU'VE REMARRIED, YES MY FRIEND, YOU ARE INDEED IN SIN! 👉🏾 Folks, y'all know what? I love talking and teaching on this "hot-button" controversial topic, you wanna know why? Because, it has the potential to save many souls from going to a burning in ignorance of Jesus' teachings... that's why! LET'S TAKE IT AT THE TOP OF THE KEY:

Mark 10:11-12 ~ "He answered, "Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery. And if she divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery."

You can't get any clearer than that! We really don't have to over-massage this truth, because Jesus laid it all out for us in simple truth! FOLKS, THE BIBLE IS CLEAR: NO ADULTERER WILL INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD!

"Yeah, but, what about Matthew 19:9 when Jesus said: "I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.” "SEE! JESUS IS SAYING THAT IF MY SPOUSE COMMITS ADULTERY/CHEATS ON ME, I CAN DIVORCE THEM! SO WHATCHU TALKING ABOUT IT?!"

Well let's get into then! 🎯 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: How I was deceived to think that I could stay in willful, practicing, deliberate sin, thinking God still has fellowship with me, just because I said I was "sorry!" I was proving Paul right when he said, “They profess to know God, but in works they deny Him …” (Titus 1:16) 😭. There were no fruit of my "repentance!" I needed to repent sincerely and stop the madness! Thank You Lord Jesus Christ for Your mercy!! There is forgiveness of sins for all who repent! (see Luke 24:44-47). At the end of the day, we who are in Christ Jesus, must consider/reckon ourselves with this one fact: WE ARE DEAD TO SIN!! Period! MY friend, God has made a way for us to be reconciled back to Himself through the atoning sacrifice of His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ! The Gospel is the good news that God loved the world enough to give His only BEGOTTEN Son to die for our sin. As the Gospel is preached, people would either believe it and be forgiven, or reject it and suffer judgment! Therefore, we ain't got no business being back in sin, now that we are born-again! So, today we're going to talk about why repentance is important and necessary to the salvation plan of God. Listen, we can try to give the Father and Jesus lip service all day about how we are sorry for sin, but there's no TURNING from it! Why? Because we are still in it - there's no fruit! John the Baptist made a pognizant and direct admonishment to the Pharisees who were coming to be baptized by him: “You brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the [divine] wrath and judgment to come? 8 So produce fruit that is consistent with repentance [demonstrating new behavior that proves a change of heart, and a conscious decision to turn away from sin" (Matthew 8). Folks, the test of true repentance, ultimately, is fruit. Amen! TURN FROM SIN! 🎯 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 brevity of life and how we should not live it in willful, deliberate, practicing sin! That we must be born-again; repent of our sins and come to Christ for the forgiveness of our sins. I'm talking to both the sinful unrepentant man & woman and the saints - the ecclesia - the called out ones in Christ!

FACTS: Hebrews 9:27 is talking to each and every one of us:

We are appointed once to die and then the judgment! To the unrepentant: YOU MUST BE BORN-AGAIN! Why? Acts 17:30-31, "30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:

31 Because he hath appointed a day (see Revelation 20:11-15), in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that Man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead." THAT'S WHY! 👉🏾For the saints: "5 I am the Vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in Me and I in him bears much fruit, for [otherwise] apart from Me [that is, cut off from vital union with Me] you can do nothing. 6 If anyone does not remain in Me, he is thrown out like a [broken off] branch, and withers and dies; and they gather such branches and throw them into the fire, and they are burned" (John 15). 🎯 'Nuff said! So where am I'm going with this folks? We only get one shot at this thing called life and if we live IT in willful, practicing, deliberate, prideful, sin - doing our own thing, walking by the light of the torches we set ablaze for our own lives - apart from God in Heaven, in essence, telling Him, "I don't need You nor Your Son, I got this!' WE AIN'T GONNA MAKE IT!! 🥺 WE NEED JESUS! 🎯 Repent and believe and turn back to God! YOU'RE NOT GONNA WANT TO MISS TODAY'S EPISODE!

🚩(DISCLAIMER: @ the 42:32 mark, I meant to say ROMANS 6:23) ** 🙋🏾‍♀️ 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 discussing: We must get back to respecting God! Fear of the Lord? Where is it nowadays?! WE MUST Fear God in reverential awe and obedience!

You may ask, "What did Jesus do for us that would compel us to obey and follow Him with respect, reverence, faith and an attitude of gratitude?" Well let me tell you... Jesus’ perfect sacrifice on the cross made atonement for your sins, my sins! THAT'S WHAT! We got to understand, there's some wonderful GOOD NEWS that we must share with this sin-sick, -bound, vile-laden, dying world: The Good News is that... 📢 SALVATION THROUGH CHRIST JESUS, is available to all of mankind! ...And 🤦🏾‍♀️🙄 we can't go out to proclaim this message of salvation, if we're too busy with our OWN lives, making our OWN way in this world without Jesus, walking by the torches and flames that WE have set ablaze for ourselves (see Isaiah 50:10-11 to find out how that pans out for us! 😵🔥), basking in the pride of our OWN lives; and not to mention being stuck in willful, deliberate, practicing sin!! Also, we cannot be lulled to sleep by a false sense of "eternal security" being perpetrated by the false Church with all their damnable doctrines of devils & destructive heresies, that keeps you in arrogant pride, serving a false Christ! Jesus said in Matthew 24:4, "Take heed that no man deceive you." And in verse 24, "For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets..." So that tells me, there is a false Church system at work here. It is called the apostate Church. And that false Church has many members, who think they can stay in sin and still get to go to Heaven! THEY ARE DECEIVED! They are serving a false Christ! WE GOT TO WAKE UP FOLKS and STOP THE MADNESS! COME OUT OF PRIDE &... FEAR THE LORD! 🎯 Repent and believe and turn back to God!
