Repent and Believe Podcast w/ Cynthia Smalls

💥 (**DISCLAIMER**) -At the 22:44 mark, I mistakenly said the account of Malachi in the book of Hebrews, chapter 7. I meant to say the account of "Melchizedek" in the book of Hebrews, chapter 7, my apologies!) Follow me on Facebook under AuntCynthia Whitaker ☺️👑😊 Join me today as we discuss the absurdity of lying when you don't have to, especially when they coming across the pulpit! Question on the floor: WHY do Pastors lie like that? Why do they knowingly do not tell their members the truth, especially when they come to them for counseling? The Bible tell us why in 2 Peter 2: "3 In their greed they will make up clever lies to get hold of your money. But God condemned them long ago, and their destruction will not be delayed."

The crazy part about all of this is that, they don't even have to lie! Why lie? When the truth is so much easier! You don't have to have a good memory when you tell the truth! SO MAKE SURE YOU TUNE IN TO HEAR 10 REASONS WHY PASTORS LIE LIKE A RUG!

Follow me on Facebook under AuntCynthia Whitaker ☺️👑😊 Join me today as we discuss one of my pet peeves of a false doctrine: that damnable "ONCE SAVED/ ALWAYS SAVED" heretical, unbiblical, and unscriptural false teaching! Just like with that damnable Prosperity Gospel, these "empty philosophies" (Col. 2:8) and man-made doctrine of devils, put God's people back on the road to ! False pastors, who spew "clever lies" (2 Peter 2:1) from the pulpit, erroneously and satanically teaches that your salvation is secured once you've come to Christ - that once you are saved, you will ALWAYS be saved and that no sin that you commit, CAN'T keep you out of Heaven! And they use proof-text Scriptures to twist their maniacal agenda - which is to depart you from your money! On today's podcast, we will look at Scriptures and that debunks their teaching! However, numerous passages teach IT IS POSSIBLE for a Christian to sin in such a way that he will be eternally lost. First, there are things a Christian must do in order to keep from falling; AND we will be discussing them today! So make sure you tune in!

Follow me on Facebook under AuntCynthia Whitaker ☺️👑😊 Join me today as I discuss how in my fresh revelation this morning, that all of the filthiness that went into all of my sins, was nailed to the cross!

The heavy realization 💣 was that - "Who was hanging up there on the cross when all of my charges were being nailed to it?" - the Lord Jesus Christ! This fresh revelation from the Holy Spirit, peeled back the many layers to our salvation that we don't think about! We shout and rejoice in the fact that our sins have been washed away by the blood of Jesus. We somehow forget all the garbage that surrounded the committing of those sins!

Jesus not only took our garbage that was dumped on Him at the cross, He also took all the satanic intrigue, manipulation, set ups and logistics it took for us to commit each and every one of those heinous crimes we committed against God as we stored up His righteous wrath against us!

We are looking at the book of Colossians where it reaffirms, that through Christ Jesus, God has reconciled us back to Himself and that we are to walk in our new life! We cut away the sinful nature and put on Christ Jesus! Amen! Find out more on today's podcast!

💥 ## SO TUNE IN! 💪🏾 YOU'RE NOT GONNA WANT TO MISS TODAY'S EPISODE!

Follow me on Facebook under AuntCynthia Whitaker ☺️👑😊 Join me today as we discuss: 8 reasons why obedience is important to God! We obey the commandments of God because we love Him! It's really just that simple! THIS IS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE PEOPLE! It is not difficult! It's only difficult to those who want to stay in their sins!

Christ Jesus endured the most brutal and horrific death that anyone has EVER suffered through! Nothing can EVER be compared to what our Lord looked like dying up there on the cross for our sins! 😭😭

## WITH THAT BEING SAID, LISTEN: 👇🏾

In the Kingdom of God 👑 when Jesus gives an order, the people agree! Our King has spoken: "Go, and sin no more."

We as His people, do not sit around debating if we are going to comply! We don't sit around discussing amongst ourselves if this is something we choose to do 🤦🏽‍♀️! WE SIMPLY DO IT! Why? BECAUSE, we love our King and He gave Himself up for us! So, our response will ALWAYS be a resounding, "Yes Lord!"

The bottom line is found in 1 John 2:3–6, where it says, "And we can be sure that we know him if we obey his commandments. If someone claims, "I know God," but doesn't obey God's commandments, that person is a liar and is not living in the truth. But those who obey God's word truly show how completely they love him. That is how we know we are living in him. Those who say they live in God should live their lives as Jesus did." AND THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE FOLKS!

Follow me on Facebook under AuntCynthia Whitaker ☺️👑😊 Join me today as we discuss difference between CHOICE and OBEDIENCE. At the present time pastors, teachers, tele-evangelists and the organized church world place great emphasis on the importance of making a right decision. They say that God has given us a free will, and since God is such a gentleman. He will not override that will. They say that with our free will we have to choose to believe God.

At this time, I want to emphasize the fact that there is a difference between CHOICE and OBEDIENCE. Even though the popular belief is, that humanity has a free will (a will that cannot be influenced), this assertion has no scriptural foundation. Yet this fallacy is preached with great fervency. We do have a will, but since our will can be influenced, it is not a free will, for it is subject to whatever looks best to us at the moment. Choice comes from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil - the tree that is rooted in disobedience. The evil of that tree is dressed in deception; it looks desirable to our senses, but it is rooted in disobedience. This is exemplified in the first temptation. Eve was definitely influenced by the serpent's words. She looked at the beautiful fruit and desired it, even though she knew God had said that eating it would result in death. The serpent persuaded her that he was right and God was wrong.

In contrast to that tree, there is no choice in the TREE OF LIFE because it has no evil. There is only obedience! Jesus said, "Why do you call Me Lord, and do not do the things that I tell you?" Living in God's kingdom requires a life of obedience! He has chosen us, and He also chooses the way we are to go. Jesus did not choose for Himself; He only did what the Father showed Him to do! He is the pattern Son, and we need to follow His example. We can make choices, and pride ourselves with having made a right choice when all goes well, and blame others when it doesn't.

Most Christians do not recognize that SELF sits on the throne in the doctrine of FREE CHOICE. It is the principle doctrine in the kingdom of the knowledge of good and evil. When we insist that we have to choose to obey, the source of that decision is self, and self is still on the throne. Can you picture the state of an army where the general gives a command, and the soldiers sit down to discuss the pros and cons of that command? Then, after a lengthy debate, they choose whether or not to obey the command. When Christ is Lord in our life, He is on the throne! He gives the orders and we follow those orders! This is OBEDIENCE!

Follow me on Facebook under AuntCynthia Whitaker ☺️👑😊 Join me today as we discuss: We are called to live holy! BOTTOM LINE!

The Scriptures tell us, ⚠️ “Let us behave properly as in the day, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and sensuality, not in strife and jealousy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh in regard to its lusts” (Romans 13:13-14).Lust leads to sin. 👉🏾Sin leads to death. But Christians are to “put on the Lord Jesus Christ” (Romans 13:14). Jesus lived a sinless life on earth and it is His example that we must strive to follow (1 Peter 2:21-22). So then, knowing that lust leads to sin, how can we choke out lust? 📣📣📣 We do so by making “no provision for the flesh in regard to its lusts.” To make no🙅🏽‍♀️provision for the flesh, means we do not provide what is necessary for sin to enter and remain in our lives. How can we do this? JOIN THE PODCAST AND SEE HOW!

Follow me on Facebook under AuntCynthia Whitaker ☺️👑😊 Join me today as we discuss: When you stand for holiness and righteous living, you are going to get a whole lot of push back! But the bottom line is that we stand in Christ and for Christ! Everything Jesus has told us, we honor it and obey it! So people can kick and scream and MOCK at the things that goes against their sinful lifestyle all they want! The bottom line is that God says that He is holy, therefore we shall be holy! 👑 So welcome to my podcast!

Follow me on Facebook under AuntCynthia Whitaker ☺️👑😊 Join me today as we discuss the answer to Matthew 24:13! True Christian faith would be tested by deception, false prophets, and the increase of wickedness. Not only will there be some who turn away, but Jesus foretold that “the love of most will grow cold.” The implication is that those who “stand firm to the end” will be the minority (see Matthew 7:14). When Jesus says, “The one who endures to the end will be saved” (Matthew 24:13, ESV), He is speaking of those who are truly born again, whose lives are transformed by the power of the Holy Spirit. True followers of Jesus Christ will withstand the onslaught of wickedness, recognize and reject false teaching, and cling fast to the truth of God’s Word. They will overcome this world and be granted reward in the world to come (Revelation 3:21). Those who have been sealed by the Holy Spirit until the day of redemption (Ephesians 1:13; 4:30; 2 Corinthians 1:22) have His power working in them to enable them to stand firm (Romans 14:4; Jude 1:24–25).

Follow me on Facebook under AuntCynthia Whitaker ☺️👑😊 Join me today as we discuss the so-called prosperity gospel is a perversion of the biblical gospel, according to which Jesus is a means to the blessings of health, wealth, and power. The preachers of this “gospel” may quote God’s word, but twist it to support their false theology. By taking passages out of context, applying a naively literal hermeneutic, embracing an over-realized eschatology, and misapplying their texts, prosperity preachers distort the Scriptures and exploit those who follow them. The best way to challenge prosperity theology — and protect ourselves from it — is to teach Christ-centered biblical theology, which reorients our worldview and desires to cherish Jesus above all.

**(DISCLAIMER)** AT THE 12 MINUTE MARK, I MISTAKENLY SAID "THAT ALL OF THE BOOKS IN THE OLD TESTAMENT TELLS US THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO KEEP THE LAW." I MEANT TO SAY, "ALL OF THE BOOKS IN THE NEW TESTAMENT TELLS US WE DON'T HAVE TO KEEP THE LAW!" 💥💥 Follow me on Facebook under AuntCynthia Whitaker ☺️👑😊 Join me today as we, to the glory of God, celebrate the 200th episode of "REPENT and BELIEVE" Podcast! We are taking another look at the Laws of Moses from the standpoint of Galatians 3:15-31 and Acts 10:1-48. Scriptures tell us that the Law does not 🙅🏽‍♀️ save us nor does it justify us in the sight of God! The Bible tells us in Galatians 3:24, that the Law was our guardian until Christ came, in order that we might be justified by faith! So to answer the age-old question, "Are we commanded to follow the 613 Laws of Moses?" No! Why?

This system of law was to last only UNTIL the coming of Christ Jesus, the Child to whom God's promise was made. The Bible tells us that if we could be saved by His laws, then God would not have had to give us a different way to get out of the grip of sin - for the Scriptures says we were all its prisoners. The only way out of (sin) is through faith in Jesus Christ; the way of escape is open to ALL who believe Him! The Bible tells us that God does not play favorites, that both the Jews and the Greeks are now one in Christ Jesus - the Body of Christ - who have now received the Holy Spirit! Amen!
