In this podcast I'm simply sharing some things that I believe the Lord wants the Brethren to hear!  If you truly LOVE God's Truths...you'll enjoy my podcasts! Even though you might not enjoy how I say what I say!  On the other hand...if you only SAY (with your lips) that you love God's Truths...you're not going to like what I share in these podcasts. And that's usually because you know that what I'm sharing is biblically correct (but you're too prideful to admit it), or you're ignorant of biblical truth.  
Brethren, times are NOT going to get any easier for the faithful Believers. In fact, I believe it won't be long before the Prince of this world sends his 'government minions' after God's people not only for openly speaking out against those immoral perversions God considers sin...but even for simply thinking about opposing them! Big Brother is already watching every step we take Brethren!  And the Good Lord is about to separate the sheep from the goats!   

I could have listed MANY MORE 'proofs' that verify that for the most part the Church of the Living God has 'run off the rails' biblically.  Oh, there's plenty of Believers 'playing church!' But sadly, very few of them are learning and obeying the Truths of God's written Word (for the Church) while doing this.  Brethren, I don't share these things to be mean, or because I believe that I have all the answers. However, after 40 years of reading, studying and learning the Truths of God's written Word...the Spirit has revealed a lot to me!  And that's because I am a genuine seeker of Truth! I'm hoping that those Believers (who also love God's Truths), and who have wandered from the Truths of God's Word because they listened to their 'biblically unwise' shepherds, or took the 'advice' of their church 'buddies'...listen to my podcasts and 'see' and understand how far they have fallen! 
Brethren...please, don't forget these very important words of Christ! He told His Followers (i.e. Believers) that If any Believer desires to worship God it has to be done thru the spirit and while obeying God's Truths!  Anything else is simply religiosity...no matter how pious or righteous it seems! God detests those Believers who choose to do what seems right in their own eyes!!!

Pleasing the Lord. It's not really that difficult to do...IF you're serious about your walk of faith!  1 John 5:3 ---- Loving God means keeping his commandments, and his commandments are not burdensome.
Our Heavenly Father does NOT demand that His child live a perfect faithful life in order to please Him! He knows that we have sin 'issues.' He knows that in this life we are never going to give Him 100 % of our heart and mind...100% of the time. Our Heavenly Fathers knows that His sin-cursed children are going to 'let Him down.'  Knowing all of that, He simply desires that His children live a sincere and Truthful faithful life...dealing with our short-comings thru repentance and perseverance. However, in spite of our sin-cursed short-comings...He still expects us to WALK in a manner which pleases Him. And we can do that with a genuine, humble walk of perseverance and repentance.  Today's Church age Believer's responsibility to faithfully walk in obedience to God's Word is not much different than it was for the Believers of the Old Testament. Which was "choose this day whom you're going to serve." God told His people in the Old Testament to choose which 'side' you want to be on. He told them, IF you choose to be on My 'side' (by knowing and obeying My Word), life will go well for you. However, IF you choose to disobey...I promise you that it will NOT go well. (P.S. Those consequences are the result of either pleasing or not pleasing the Lord!) Seems like a no-brainer choice to make doesn't it? And yet, many times God's children in the Old Testament made the wrong choice!   Unfortunately, for the most part, today's Believers are also choosing to make the wrong choices. Many of God's children have 'wandered away' from the doctrinal Truths that God has given His Church. And they are instead doing what seems right in their own eyes! 
Saints, it's impossible to please the Lord without striving to be obedient to those commandments and teachings that the Lord has handed down for the Church. And no matter how sincere you are...or no matter how good you feel about what you're doing for the Lord...IF you're NOT worshipping Him in SPIRIT and TRUTH, you cannot please Him! 
John 14:21 ----Those who accept My commandments and obey them are the ones who love Me. And because they love Me, My Father will love them. And I will love them and reveal myself to each of them.”
Brethren, without true biblical faith it's impossible to please God!  All that 'churchy stuff' (that's not Bible based) is simply religiosity. We have to DO as the Good Book says...or our 'works' will be 'burnt up' at the Judgment Seat of Christ. 

The churches are full of people who profess to believe in the Gospel of Christ...who don't have a clue where they're going when they die! How can that be? Well, it's because many true, eternally saved (by the Blood) born-again Believers have stopped explaining the message of the Cross to those around them. Way too many people are being 'accepted' as true Believers simply because they can REPEAT THE WORDS of the Gospel. (I speak from experience being that I once was a lost Catholic who KNEW the words of the Gospel of Christ!) 
Brethren, KNOWING the (words of) the Gospel of Christ is NOT the same thing as understanding the Gospel of Christ. The next time you get up the boldness to share your faith with someone...ask them these questions. (P.S. 99% of the people you share with will tell you they're a Christian. Don't believe them without asking them some questions. 
1. Ask the person you're sharing with...what KIND OF Christian are you?
By asking them this question you're going to find out IF they are truly born-again...or simply a religious "Christian."
2. Once you find out that they're a lost religious "Christian"...ask them IF they know were they're going when they die?
However they answer you will reveal to the 'route' you need to take as you EXPLAIN the Gospel of Christ to them.  

Sadly, a lot of Believers have 'lost their way' when it comes to knowing anything beyond the basic Truths of Scriptures.   A lot of God's people have made the personal choice NOT to be diligent students of the Scriptures...and instead are choosing to believe what they're told to believe. I put a lot of blame for this on the shepherds and Bible teachers. These supposed men of God are NOT teaching God's people HOW to think...but what to think! For the most part, true line-by-line Bible teachings have 'vanished.' They have been replaced by Bible teachers who 'cherry-pick' the 'milk' of God's Word (week after week)...or by Wednesday night Bible 'study' 'free for alls';  where everyone in the pews gets to share their views and opinions (about they think) a verse means. Which means that no actually is taught biblical Truth. Which means that no one leaves the study being any smarter then they were when they first came in.  It's very hard to find men of God who teach with biblical authority as they rightly divide (and teach) the absolute Truths of God's Word to the sheep. 

Brethren, contrary to what many Believers think or are taught...God's people don't learn the Truths of God's written Word thru some dream or vision that they had in the middle of the night. And there is NO 'sprinkling' of biblical glitter-dust onto the heads of God's people while they sleep...that penetrates (thru the process of osmosis) the minds of God's people, making them biblically smarter in the morning!  Now, I say these things facetiously. But sadly, there are some in the Church who genuinely believe that's how the Lord reveals the Truths of His Word to His people!   
Saints, the Lord gave us His written Word on about a 10th grade learning level for a reason.  He made it 'easy' for us to learn it...IF we choose to! Sadly, many in the Church would rather believe what they're told to believe...instead of what they've learned (to believe.) Just like the world...we have a whole generation of Believers who are told WHAT to think, instead of HOW to think (for themselves.)  2 Timothy 2:15 --- Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the Word of Truth.

I know, I know...Lord Salvation sounds all pious and righteous.  To many Believers it just seems like this is the type of salvation one needs to have in order to please a Holy and JUST God! Well Brethren...it would be...IF lost people needed to please the Lord in order to be eternally saved. However, they don't! It was Christ's sacrifice for mankind's sins which appeased (i.e. satisfied) the Father's requirement for removing sins.  Brethren, eternal salvation is an absolutely, totally, 100% free gift from the Father to the world! Paid for by the sacrifice of His Son. And the only stipulation that the Lord puts on lost people IF they want to receive this free gift of eternal life is to belief that Christ paid the complete and final price for their sins!  Brethren, faithfully serving the Lord is an absolute essential IF a born-again, eternally saved, blood-bought child of God desires to hear WELL DONE GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT!   However, serving the Lord faithfully or unfaithfully...has got nothing to do with a person receiving the free gift of eternal life.   How can an eternally saved, blood-bought, born-again child of God forfeit or 'lose' their eternal salvation (from hell) for being 'bad' (i.e. disobedient), given the fact that they never received it for being good in the first place? 

Sorry Brethren, I got a little 'long-winded' on part five. I needed to finish this topic up. So I'm 'blessing you' with a whole hour of Brother Bob's biblical thoughts and teachings.  Again, IF you truly want to see the Truths of God's written Word...you're going to have to 'turn off' your emotion button and start using your God-created 'brain-power' to discern IF what I'm sharing with you is biblically true or not.  Now, there are quite a few other Believers out there in Christendom trying to get the sheep to understand the importance of seeing (and then believing) the Kingdom teachings of God, that are 'hidden' in plain sight throughout the Scriptures. Unfortunately, there are also a lot of Believers out there in Christendom these days who would rather live in spiritual LA-LA land (doing what seems right in their own eyes), instead of simply choosing to learn and then obey the decrees and teachings of their King.   

Yeshua Christ replied, “Work hard to enter the narrow door to God’s Kingdom, for many (blood-bought, eternally saved, born-again Believers) will try to enter but will fail. When the Master of the house has locked the door, it will be too late. You will stand outside knocking and pleading, ‘Lord, open the door for us!’ But he will reply, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from.’ Then you will say, ‘But we ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets.’ And the Master will reply, ‘I tell you, I don’t know you or where you come from. Get away from me, all you children of Mine who did NOT do as I commanded.’

Revelation 3:1-5 ---- Write this letter to the angel of the Sardis Bible Church.  “I know all the things you Believers do, and that you saved people have a reputation for being spiritually alive—but you are spiritually dead. Wake up! Strengthen what little remains, for even what is left is almost dead. I find that your actions do not meet the requirements of my God. Go back to what you heard and believed at first; hold to it firmly. Repent and turn to me again. If you don’t wake up, I will come to you suddenly, as unexpected as a thief. “Yet there are some Believers in the church in Sardis who have not soiled their clothes thru lawless disobedience. They will walk with Me in white, for they are worthy. All who are victorious will be clothed in white. I will never erase their names from the Book of Life, but I will announce before my Father and his angels that they are mine.

Matthew 10:32-33 ---- “Therefore every Believer who confesses Me before men, I will also confess them before My Father who is in heaven. But any Believer who denies Me before men, I will also deny them before My Father who is in heaven.

Many of God's people need to 'wake up' from their spiritual stupor and get back to DOING as our King has commanded!  This isn't rocket science stuff Brethren! P.S. And doing those things that please the King doesn't mean desiring to babble in a tongue, desire 'visions in the night',  or 'chase after' signs and wonders! It means to LEARN and then OBEY those commandments and decrees that the King has handed down to His people thru His Church Epistles.  My God, do you realize how biblically ignorant a child of God has to be...to NOT realize that IF they do NOT obey the commandments and teachings of the King, they will not be blessed in eternity?   Believers are not going to here WELL DONE GOOD and FAITHFUL SERVANT simply because they're born-again! Remember, Believers today are commanded to WALK BY FAITH...and NOT by sight.  Those same Scriptures also tell us that it IS IMPOSSIBLE to please the King unless we WALK BY FAITH (and NOT by what we hope or wish would happen.) 

Brethren, you need to realize that the GREAT I AM is the KING of all kings. He rules and reigns over vast supernatural and natural realms...which includes supernatural and natural BEINGS! Our King is far above ALL other kings and gods! And amazingly, the GREAT I AM…King of all kings, CREATOR of ALL things…has allowed a way for us PUNY, WHINY, GRUMBLY, REBELLIOUS human beings to be part of HIS KINGDOM REALM! That starts by US becoming a SUBJECT or SERVANT in HIS KINGDOM by accepting HIS ONLY SON as our savior! However, SIMPLY BECOMING a SUBJECT or SERVANT (of God) does NOT MERIT or EARN US special rewards, blessings and honors in God’s Kingdoms. Becoming a spiritual child of God (thru faith in Christ) SIMPLY QUALIFIES US (i.e. ALLOWS US) the OPPORTUNITY TO DO those things that please the KING! IF we…as supernaturally adopted servants of the KING are found (by the King) TO BE SINCERELY FAITHFUL (to our KING’S commandments and LAWS) HE (the KING) WILL bestow on us SPECIAL KINGDOM rewards, honors and privileges! HOWEVER, IF our KING finds that we have NOT served HIM faithfully (according to His LAWS and COMMANDMENTS), HE being a JUST and RIGHTEOUS KING will NOT HONOR US as a faithful servant of His; which means that we will NOT receive ANY special KINGDOM rewards, blessings and privileges) and might in fact even be BOOTED OUT of the (future) Millennial or New Earth Kingdoms of our King. Now, being booted out of the King' kingdom does NOT mean that we're sent to hell! (Remember, unless we RENOUNCE the savior we once professed...the FREE GIFT of ETERNAL LIFE is forevermore...regardless of how faithful we served our King!)  So, those children of the King  who were deemed unfaithful...will still spend their eternal life in paradise...but they will be banished from living and serving in the Kingdom of their God and savior forevermore!  And these children of God deemed unfaithful (by the King) will spend their eternity regretting that when they had the opportunity to serve their King....they chose rather to serve themselves, and ignored the Laws and Commandments of the King who suffered and died to save their sorry butts from hell!

This one is a 'little' long-winded. Sorry!  There is a LOT OF STUFF about God's future Millennial and New Earth Kingdoms in the Scriptures that I need to cover.  In part three I reiterate quite a bit of stuff...with the hope that the Kingdom Teaching in the Scriptures will be easier for you to discern.   It's important Brethren to 'see' and then understand the Bible's Kingdom teachings.  The Truths of the Bible's Kingdom teachings will better help you understand the necessity (and importance) of striving to WALK in a manner worthy of the God (i.e. King), who suffered and died to 'free us' from hell.  In part four I'll go into more detail about WHAT the future Millennial and New Earth Kingdoms will be like.
