I wanted to give a basic message that provides scriptural proof of Jesus Christ and His deity. I pray that those who have grown weary in their walk with the Lord and those who have disregarded His gift would be blessed by this message. This is also a reminder to the many who have fallen asleep in this hour that the King is coming!

A Transformed Life In Jesus Christ

Romans 12:1-2 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

God’s will for mankind is for us to be in harmony with him. He has created us to worship Him and to communicate with Him.

• We live in a country where we’re free to worship him

I. A Transformed Mind of Jesus Christ

Mark 4:1-9 1 And he began again to teach by the sea side: and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land. 2 And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine, 3 Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow: 4 And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up. 5 And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth: 6 But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away. 7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit. 8 And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred. 9 And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Many today do not have ears to hear. Our lives and society have become so occupied by the things of this life, and we have become weighed down by the cares of this world.

Luke 21:34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.

There’s nothing wrong with being responsible and having commitments, but our focus has to be on Jesus Christ and His will for our lives.

The Word of God is truth and a light. When it is spoken it is like a seed that is tossed out to be sewn in the hearts, and minds of mankind. As the parable states the seed doesn’t always fall on good ground, but when it does it brings forth good fruit.

A transformed mind in Jesus Christ cannot be influenced and distracted by the things that the world desires and conforms too. A mind of Jesus Christ is focused and has a mission to do the works for the Kingdom of God.

Our mission is His will for His glory because he gave all for us.

1 John 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

A transformed mind is feeding on Jesus Christ.

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

John 6:35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

Matthew 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

How do we have a transformed mind like Jesus Christ?

o Through the reading of scripture, and prayer

Philippians 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

Philippians 2: 1-5 If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, 2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. 3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in l

Death by Default

Proverbs 14:12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

American Christianity is an abomination in the eye’s of the Lord. Today’s so called Church of God is blind, lame, dumb, and deaf to the ways and the heart of God. We have forsaken His commands and His ways for His people.

The Church holds no power against the raging enemy because it refuses to submit to the methods of the world. The Church is consumed by the lust of the eye’, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life.

Acts 5:1-11 1 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, 2 And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles’ feet. 3 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land? 4 Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God. 5 And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things. 6 And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him. 7 And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in. 8 And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much. 9 Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out. 10 Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband. 11 And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things.

When the unbeliever got saved they gave up all of there possessions and desires were transformed from earthly things to eternal things. Looking back was not an option, and a life with Jesus Christ was complete victory over the things of this world!

Ananias, and Sapphira were evidently not fully commited to the Lord but they had doubt, and with doubt comes a lack of faith, and a lack of faith means to allow unbelief to cause oneself to create a back up plan incase this Jesus stuff doesn’t work out!

Hypocrisy has invaded the Church, and has allowed the majority to camouflage their Christianity!

We hide our faith and camouflage ourselves so that we can avoid uncomfortable situations. God forbid someone speaks bad about us, or that we’re confronted for our faith!

The camouflaged Christian will take no stance against sin. They will ignore it, or turn the other cheek. They will make excuses and say things like “it doesn’t involve me, or I’ll let God be the Judge.

Jude 1:23 And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

The preaching against sin has diminished, it’s like it’s not allowed. For the sake of the numbers brother don’t dare mention people’s faults! Don’t tell them that God is a God who hates sin! Let them just go right into Hell with the peace of mind that they had their pleasures met in this life!

Psalms 5:4 For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.

Hebrews 11:24-25 By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter; 25 Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;

Death & the Devil

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Colossians 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

There is a real God who has created all of these things that we can see with our eyes, and the things that are unseen, and unknown.

The world is in chaos because it is out of the will of God. Corruption has set in the hearts and minds of many. The world doesn’t look to the Holy One the Lord Jesus Christ.

The world looks to man and his devices that he has created. These devices only bring a further separation from God. Take a look at the headlines! Abortion, murder, rape, lying, cheating, stealing, homosexuality, drunkenness, drug abuse, adultery, fornication, pedophilia, beastiality, self idolization, glorification, and body mutilization.

There are thousands of religions, and millions of excuses that are given to avoid accountability.

There is only one true God who has created all things, and He has one only begotten Son by Him and His name is Jesus Christ.

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Jesus Christ is the only way to eternal life!

Jesus was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of a virgin woman, lived and grew up as a man, God in the flesh who laid aside His deity, and was free from sin. He was accused for speaking the truth, crucified, died and buried, and rose from the dead 3 days later, and is now seated at the right hand of the Lord God Jehovah, and will soon return again to judge the world.

Matthew 7:13 ¶ Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

Millions of people in the world profess this religion, or that religion, and even claim to be followers of Jesus Christ, but Jesus states it clearly

Where are you today spiritually?

Matthew 10:38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.

There are so many things in this life that we strive for in this life. We put our families on the sacrificial table of life for our employments and status among people. We forsake morality for pleasure and entitlement.

We are self seeking and selfish creatures, but God still has created us for His purpose, and he

Isaiah 5:1-30 1 Now will I sing to my wellbeloved a song of my beloved touching his vineyard. My wellbeloved hath a vineyard in a very fruitful hill: 2 And he fenced it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also made a winepress therein: and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes.

The Rain

1 Kings 18:1 And it came to pass after many days, that the word of the LORD came to Elijah in the third year, saying, Go, shew thyself unto Ahab; and I will send rain upon the earth.

Most Christians in America today have altered the commands of God to a new form of religion and have denied, restrained, and resisted the power of the Holy Ghost in the churches and in their lives. This response to God’s Word is the absolute reason for the wicked condition and state of America and the world today. Many self professing believers in God and Jesus Christ are riding the imaginary fence of idleness. There is a great turning away of the truth.

The truth being in 1 Peter 1:16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

Jesus said in Matthew 7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

The majority in Christianity today shrug those words of truth off when spoken. The Church has been altered from a godly people to a people of compromise and tolerance. The church has changed and the fire is gone. There is a famine of the Word of truth. There is a famine of the rivers of life. The drought has gone on for to long now and the time has come for a stand off. The must be a great stand off given by the true believers and followers of Jesus Christ. The time has come for separation of those who are willing to give up all and pick up their cross and actually follow Jesus Christ in truth and in deed in contrast to those who refuse the truth and have defiled the things of God.

Matthew 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

The Church of Jesus Christ has absolutely no excuses to give to the Lord for the condition of our society to. We are not victims of the enemy. We have turned the other cheek to sin and have even compromised our convictions out of our pride and our wants in this life.

Matthew 10:38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.

Why are we so comfortable with the condition of the Church today? Why are we not hungry for the outpouring of the Holy Ghost? Why are we not seeking the God that we claim to serve? The Church of Jesus Christ has been altered in every way from its original state.

Acts 2:1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.

Today’s Church is not in one accord! Their not in agreement! There is division and backbiting!

1Kings 18:1-46 1 And it came to pass after many days, that the word of the LORD came to Elijah in the third year, saying, Go, shew thyself unto Ahab; and I will send rain upon the earth. 2 And Elijah went to shew himself unto Ahab. And there was a sore famine in Samaria. 3 And Ahab called Obadiah, which was the governor of his house. (Now Obadiah feared the LORD greatly: 4 For it was so, when Jezebel cut off the prophets of the LORD, that Obadiah took an hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water.)

Deuteronomy 11:26-28

When the Devil Gets In

Through out the ages of time we hear that this person or that person who was once enlightened to the truths of God and a born again follower of Jesus Christ has slipped back into sin and has chosen to turn their back on God and His ways.

The trials of life and the deserts of darkness that we’re prone to walk through can be the most catastrophic test that measures the balance of our faith and our personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ and our Father in heaven.

The temptations of this world are so desirous and strong that the mightiest of men have proven themselves to be overcome by them and their disastrous results have condemned then to an eternal separation from God.

Compromise to sin is the norm for the modern day Christian. You’ll have to dig deep and search far and wide for a true believer and follower of Jesus Christ.

The message of repentance and the call to be holy as the Lord our God is holy is offensive and absurd to the modern day Christian.

Picking up our cross and actually following the Lord Jesus Christ has become legalistic and a hindrance to the modern day Christian.

Prayer and reading the Word of God has been replaced by so called Christian music by musicians and artists that have the same appearance and sounds that the secular musicians and artist of today’s world has.

The majority of the so called houses of God today are defiled temples that have invited the enemies of God into the church and have become modern day alters to age old pagan gods.

The modern day church has come full circle spiritually speaking and they are the modern day Adam and Eve’s picking the fruit from the tree that the Lord God said not to eat from.

When the Devil gets in the hearts and minds of the believer compromise is the solution for sin. Ignoring the truth is the solution for sin. Twisting Gods word is the solution for sin.

The Church today has run away from God. We are too entertained by our social media accounts and our modern day devices.

Facebook has become our gods. Snapchat has become our gods. Youtube has become our gods. Our methods and our ideals have become the new way to win the lost to Christ.

How in the world are we going to win anyone to the Lord Jesus Christ with these methods of man?

Acts 2:47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.

It always has been and it will always be the Lord who will add to the Body of Jesus Christ! Not man and not his ways!

When the Devil gets in we become deaf and dumb. When we start listening to the Devil it’s over!

Galatians 5:9 A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.

Matthew 4:1-11 1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. 2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred. 3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. 4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. 5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a innacle of the temple, 6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. 7 Jesus said unto him, It is written aga

Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

If you listen closely you can here a knocking, a knocking on the door of your heart, a knocking on the door of your conscience. It’s the Lord Jesus Christ the Holy Ghost of God has come and He is calling you home to him.

Jeremiah 50:6 My people hath been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their restingplace.

Jesus is knocking on the souls of mankind to offer us a resting place for eternity in Him. God loves us He created us. There is not a single person today that the Lord has not considered to be with Him forever in His kingdom.

Matthew 10:30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

God knows who you are.

They deny the very existence of God.

Think about it if there is a God then at some point whether in this life or in death there will be a time of settling up with the Creator, a time of reckoning, and of giving an account for our actions.

The knocking is for getting your attention. The knocking is to awake you out of your slumber.

Millions today are in a great slumber.

People are sleeping the sleep of death, and Jesus Christ is knocking on the door of your heart to wake you up.

Take a look at the news headlines.

Take a look in your own backyard.

Wickedness has come in like a flood, and it will only get worse from here until the end.

1 Thessalonians 5:6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.

The only hope you have is Jesus Christ.

The only truth that stands today is the Word of God.

Soberness is not the remedy for society gone fallow today!

The once cultivated ground that was made by the Gospel has been covered with nettles and thorns.

Proverbs 6:10-11

The Church has gone to sleep and the enemy has sewn tares among the wheat.

The cult of religion has caused a separation of the Body of Christ, and the sheep have been scattered by the modern day Pharisees.

Those who live by religious rules and man made interpretations of Gods Word have distorted the true Gospel of Jesus Christ.

John 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

Jesus said to love and many have lost their first love.

The true love is the love of Jesus Christ. Drunkenness and wickedness is the chosen remedy that buries the guilty conscience in a grave of delusion that will soon become awakened by a sobering reality faced with the judgments of God.

Hosea 10:12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you.

Many are holding idle and are swallowed up by the snares of sin.

The addictions of life have taken over the thought process of right and wrong.

The truth is despised and wisdom is denied.

The knocking is loud and cannot be ignored.

Ezekiel 3:17 Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.

The end is near and the message is the same! Repent from your wicked ways and your self chosen life of compromise! Turn back to the Lord with a broken and contrite heart, confess your sins and be ye holy for I AM Holy Says the Lord!

2Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

2Chronicles 7:19-20 19 But if ye turn away, and forsake my statutes and my commandments, which I have set before you, and shall go and serve other gods, and worship them; 20 Then will I pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have sanctified for my name, will I cast out of my sight, and will make it to be a proverb and a byword among all nations.

The End of The World
