Repent and Believe Podcast w/ Cynthia Smalls

Follow me on Facebook under AuntCynthia Whitaker ☺️👑💥 Join me today as we discuss... 🚨 ⚠️ FALSE TEACHING ALERT!!

Are our Past, Present and Future Sins Forgiven in Christ?🤷🏽‍♀️ 🤔 While it is true that our past sins has been ransomed and that the blood of Jesus is available to cleanse our present sins, It is nowhere taught in Scripture that our 👉🏾future sins have been blotted in a single blow such that there is nothing to confess or repent for! AT THE MOMENT WE COME TO CHRIST IN REPENTANCE TO SEEK FORGIVENESS OF OUR SINS, AT THAT POINT - OUR PAST SINS HAVE BEEN FORGIVEN! Yes, God does and will forgive us our sins but, nowhere🙅🏽‍♀️is it taught or implied in the Bible that we have received a blanket forgiveness of 👉🏾all aggregate sins since coming to Christ and into the future such that we are no longer obligated to repent and to seek God's forgiveness. The Priesthood of Jesus is daily available to us to deal with our sins. He stands out to us to cleanse and sanctify us from all unrighteousness, when we come to Him in repentance.📌 BUT WE STRIVE TO BE LIKE CHRIST IN ALL THAT WE DO, so that we don't fall into habitual sin!

Repent and turn back to God so that your sins may be forgiven!!! You are not going to live forever! One day, you too, like all of us, will die. We're not getting any younger! Once we step out of this bodysuit, and not having made the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior, it's not going to be pretty folks!

That is why, we MUST turn to Him now, today is the day of Salvation! Jesus Christ died on the Cross for the sins of the world. He took the punishment of God's wrath on our behalf! WE sinned against Holy God and broke His laws!

But Jesus stood in our place anyway, and took our punishment for us! 😭😭

The Gospel: 👉🏾 He died, was buried, and after three days, rose out of the grave and He is alive right now TODAY, sitting at the right hand of God the Father! Seek Him today! 👉🏾 Today is the day of Salvation!

Follow me on Facebook under AuntCynthia Whitaker 😊💥 join me today as I discuss that we ought to choose Jesus over everybody! Jesus statements are very challenging! But we who love Him, follow them anyway! In Matthew 10:37, Jesus said, “If you love your father or mother more than you love me, you are not worthy of being mine; or if you love your son or daughter more than me, you are not worthy of being mine." So what did He mean by saying this? Is He saying that, we are NOT to love our family? Absolutely not! First things first, Jesus has warned His disciples that He has come to bring a sword of division in Israel. This is not a reference to violence or revolution, but to the schism that the gospel can cause. Those who refuse to accept Christ will hate and persecute those who believe (John 15:18–21). The division will take place even between immediate family members. Fathers and sons will turn on each other, as well mothers and daughters. The issue will be belief in Jesus Himself. Is He the Messiah, the Son of God? Those who refuse to acknowledge Him will reject those of their own family who put their faith in Jesus and begin to follow His ways (1 Peter 4:3–4).

This will force many of Jesus' followers to make a difficult choice. Will they keep peace with their parents and/or children by denying faith in Jesus? Or will they be willing to lose connection to their family members in order to continue to follow Jesus and acknowledge to others that He is the Christ?

Jesus is demanding His rightful place in the hearts of His people. They must love Him more than all others and demonstrate that is true if forced to make a choice. This does not change Scripture's demand that children honor their parents (Ephesians 6:2) and that parents provide for their children (Ephesians 6:4; 1 Timothy 5:8). Jesus does not say "do not love" those other people—what He says is that we ought to love God more.

Loving others is the second greatest commandment, but it is behind the first: to love God with everything we have (Matthew 22:34–40). In making this statement, Jesus continues to make the claim that He is God. Love and obedience to Him must come before obedience to any other person or group (Acts 5:29).

How would you recognize counterfeit Christianity? In 2 Peter 1 we read about genuine believers. And in 2 Peter 2 we read about counterfeit believers. If you put these chapters side by side you will see the difference between authentic and counterfeit believers. SO let's get into it today, as we take a look at what is real and what is false! Let us took take a real look at the real brethren in Christ, versus the false brethren!

Follow me on Facebook under AuntCynthia Whitaker 😊💥 Today's podcast is about three fundamental truths the Bible teaches about . 👉 is real. 👉 is horrible. And 👉 is eternal. Because you read to the end, I have a bonus truth for you: is avoidable! 😀😃😊 💥 Every sin will be paid for—either by the Savior at the Cross or by the sinner in . “For the wages of sin is death,” wrote Paul, “but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 6:23). If you run to the Cross and trust the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation, you can receive free forgiveness, new life and eternal hope today!

THEREFORE 💥 You MUST REPENT of your sins, BELIEVE that our resurrected Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, died for your sins! Stop SINNING and turn back to God and obey Him HENCEFORTH!

Follow me on Facebook under AuntCynthia Whitaker 🥰 💥 👑 Join me today as we discuss 📌 Our Father sent the Lord Jesus Christ from Heaven to this sin-sick, dark, vile-laden of a world, to die for the sins of many. Jesus willingly laid down His life as a sacrifice to appease the Wrath of Holy God, whose people sinned continuously. Jesus took the punishment that was rightly due to us, because we racked up and stacked up God's Wrath against us, because WE didn't know how to stop sinning (SMH)! Jesus' shed blood on the Cross, was sprinkled on The Mercy Seat of God in Heaven and through His blood sacrifice, Jesus made atonement for our sins - reconciling us back to the Father! And through His shed blood, we can have forgiveness of our sins!

Hebrews 9:22: "In fact, according to the law of Moses, nearly everything was purified with blood. For without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness."

Jesus died on the Cross, and then He was buried, and after three days, by the power of the Holy Spirit, Jesus was resurrected from the grave! Through His death, burial, and resurrection, and His sinless life, Jesus has set us free from the power and control sin had over our lives! He defeated death by His resurrection and REMAIN alive to this very day! Amen! We must believe this Gospel. We must repent of our sins - forsake them and never to return back to the vomit! We must ask God for forgiveness and be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ. We must now have a change of mind where sin and God is concerned. God hates sin! God is Holy! God is just and righteous! Therefore, we must hate sin just as much as God does! We must do a 180° turn and go back to God! And walk in full obedience to Him henceforth!

We must respond to Jesus' finished work at the Cross with a resounding "YES;" and with total acceptance, receive Him as Lord and Savior! Without Jesus, there will be no 🙅🏽‍♀️ salvation, there will be no 🙅🏽‍♀️reconciliation, and there will be no 🙅🏽‍♀️ Eternal Life! Everything hinges on whether or not you REPENT, BELIEVE that Jesus died for your sins, and TURN back to God! WHAT IF YOU REJECT JESUS AND ALL THAT HE HAS DONE FOR YOU? YOU WILL GO TO ! 🔥🔥

📌 I believe the most important question a human being could ever ask of God:

"Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?" Acts 2:37

"And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." Acts 2:38

"Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body but as an appeal to God for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ." 1 Peter 3:21

BE READY! 💥 REPENT AND BELIEVE THE GOSPEL AND STOP SINNING! Turn back to God and obey Him!!

Follow me on Facebook under AuntCynthia Whitaker 🥰 💥 💖 Join me today as we discuss what keeps someone spiritually blinded. Jesus tells us in John 8:11-12, “No, Lord,” she said. And Jesus said, “Neither do I. Go and sin no more.” Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, “I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won’t have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life.” THE ANSWER TO SPIRITUAL BLINDNESS, IS TO FOLLOW JESUS! There are many causes for spiritual blindness such as Satan, pride, ignorance, following blind guides, caring what others think, and more.

When you’re spiritually blind you can’t see Christ because you hardened your heart and won’t come to the knowledge of the truth.👩‍🦯

Everyone knows God is real, but people reject Him because they love their sin and don’t want to submit to Him.🧑‍🦯

Then, Satan comes in the picture and blinds the minds of unbelievers so that they won’t come to the truth.

When you’re spiritually blind you are separated from God and you will continue to lie to yourself. God’s not real, the Bible is false, is fake, I’m a good person, Jesus was just a man, etc.

Spiritual blindness is the reason that you can preach Biblical things to false Christians, but they still find excuses for their sin and rebellion.

So let us see what the Bible has to say about spiritual blindness. I will be giving 21 Scriptures to help us understand the Whats, the Whys, and the Hows of spiritual blindness.

Follow me on Facebook under AuntCynthia Whitaker 🥰💖 Join me today, as I talk about how God hates sin! As a born-again, child of God, we got to get the memo, that God hates sin - ALL OF IT! We need to stop coming up with excuse after excuse talking about, "I'm working on it" and that "Jesus knows my heart!"🤦🏽‍♀️We must all put away the sin! Because Jeremiah 17:9, tells us exactly what the heart is all about. That heart needs to be transplanted! The Jeremiah 17:9 heart, is "deceitful above all things and is desperately sick!" Come with me, as we study the Book of Romans, Chapters 1 and 2 as we look into God's judgment of the wicked. The Bible is very clear about God showing His anger from Heaven against all sinful, wicked people who suppressed the truth by their wickedness! They know God, but they wouldn't worship Him as God or even give Him thanks. The Bible says that God abandoned them to do whatever shameful things their hearts desired! Jesus tells us over in Mark 7:20, what defiles a man, it is not what goes into a man that defiles him, but what comes out of his heart! And those sins that come out of a man's heart, will lead you straight to ! Listen, God is not playing when it comes to the shed blood of Jesus! In the book of Hebrews Chapter 10, it talks about Jesus' sacrifice and Him being made an offering to God on our behalf. It says that, "For by that one offering, he forever made perfect those who are being made holy." AND that is what I mean by we have to put away all excuses about how it is impossible to stop sinning! Hebrew 10:29-31, also talks about "How much worse the punishment will be for those who have trampled on the Son of God, and have treated the blood of the covenant, which made us holy, as if it were common and unholy, and have insulted and disdained the Holy Spirit who brings God Mercy to us..." "it is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the living God"! 💥 REPENT and BELIEVE, that our resurrected Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, died for your sins, stop SINNING and turn back to GOD and obey Him!

Follow me on Facebook under AuntCynthia Whitaker 🥰 💥 💖 Join me today as we discuss when we hear the word idol, we often think of statues and objects reminiscent of those worshiped by pagans in ancient cultures. However, the idols of the 21st century often bear no resemblance to the artifacts used thousands of years ago. Today, many have replaced the “golden calf” with an insatiable drive for money or prestige or "success" in the eyes of the world. Some pursue the high regard of others as their ultimate goal. Some seek after comfort or a myriad of other passionate, yet empty, pursuits. Sadly, our societies often admire those serving such idols. In the end, however, it doesn’t matter what empty pleasure we chase after or what idol or which false god we bow down to; the result is the same—separation from the one true God.
