The Human Heart

The human heart from faith departs,

The flesh of man, it kicks the can,

It dwells in cannots, all things failed,

A change in life course, it has bailed.

The heart of man, it feeds the flesh,

It leaves the person in a mess,

And few are those who will confess,

Results of sin they’ll not address.

For many live in unreal worlds,

Their private sins they’ve not unfurled,

They keep them secret, not to share,

So masquerades are what they wear.

The human heart is selfish, grim,

It will not bow to God, not Him,

It keeps its distance, sin to guard,

For faith in Christ is just too hard.

When we humans are born into this world, we are born with sin natures, in the image of Adam, the first man God created, and the first man to sin against God. So human hearts are prone to sin. They are prone to be selfish and to do what is wrong. And so Jesus gave His life up for us on that cross to change our hearts to be more like Jesus, to be people of faith who now live for Him in obedience to His commands, and no longer as slaves to sin.

[Matthew 7:21-23; Luke 9:23-26; Romans 3:9-26; Romans 5:12-19; Romans 6:1-23; 1 Corinthians 15:21-22,42-49; Ephesians 2:1-3,8-10]

But You Keep Doing Evil

 

The Church's Unfaithfulness to God

I am reading in Jeremiah 2:14-37, but I will only quote a small portion of this passage of Scripture. The subject matter is Israel’s unfaithfulness to God. And biblical Israel today is the church, the body of Christ, of those who are of faith in Jesus Christ. But the gatherings of the church may include many people who are of faith in Jesus but who have wandered back into sin, as well as those who profess faith in Jesus Christ with their lips but who do not live to please God with their lives. And they are being addressed here.

 

Jeremiah 2:20-22,34-35 BSB (Berean Standard Bible)

 

“20For long ago you broke your yoke

and tore off your chains,

saying, ‘I will not serve!’

Indeed, on every high hill

and under every green tree

you lay down as a prostitute.

21I had planted you like a choice vine

from the very best seed.

How could you turn yourself before Me

into a rotten, wild vine?

22Although you wash with lye

and use an abundance of soap,

the stain of your guilt

is still before Me.”

 

“34..But in spite of all these things

35you say, ‘I am innocent.

Surely His anger will turn from me.’

Behold, I will judge you,

because you say, ‘I have not sinned.’”

 

No Fear of God

 

Many people professing faith in Jesus Christ have fallen back into sin or they are those who never truly ever repented of their sin, so they never left their sin behind them to begin with. And many of them are listening to the lies of false teachers and preachers and prophets who are telling them that God does NOT require of them that they deny self, die to sin, and obey God and His commands. And they are listening to the lies which tell them that all their sins are forgiven so they can keep on in their sin without punishment.

 

And so they are believing that they can be “Christians” who are on their way to heaven while they still walk (in conduct, in practice) in deliberate and habitual sin against God. And sexual sin seems to be the predominant sin captivating the minds and hearts of so many professing Christians these days. Statistics have it that about ¾ of Christian men, and about ½ of Christian pastors, and about ½ of Christian women engage in the viewing of pornographic images (often resulting in self-gratification). Astounding!

 

Believing the Lies

 

But it isn’t just that. So many professing Christians are captivated by the sinful pleasures of the flesh, whatever the category of sins may be, and they are believing the lies that God is okay with that. For they are accepting the lies which tell them that God will not judge them for their sins and that they are assured of spending eternity with God based on lip service to God only. And the sins could be merely ignoring God and His will for their lives and living for the pleasures of the flesh, instead. God is, thus, pushed aside.

 

Although they may give an outward appearance of being followers of Christ because they attend a particular church gathering once or twice a week, they are not serving the Lord Jesus with their lives, but they are serving their own flesh, instead. For they are busy fulfilling their fleshly and selfish desires in place of surrendering their lives to God in His service, in doing His will He has for their lives. For their lives are centered on the things of this world rather than on God and His will and purpose for their lives.

 

Making Excuses

 

Rather than acknowledging their sins and repenting of their sins and turning to obey God with their lives, from this moment forward, they make excuses for why they do the things they do. Sometimes they will blame other people or their circumstances, but they will not take ownership for their own sins. No matter how many years they have been living in addiction to sin without genuine biblical repentance, they will find a work-around in order to excuse away their sinful behaviors and practices, even claiming that it was not sin.

 

But the Scriptures teach us that if we claim to be in fellowship with God and to know God and to love God, but sin is still what we practice, and not obedience to God, that we are liars who do not live by the truth. For God’s grace, which is bringing us salvation, is training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives while we wait for Jesus’ return. For it is not the one who claims he is “in Christ” who is “in Christ,” but it is the one who has denied self, died with Christ to sin, and who is now walking in obedience to our Lord’s commands.

 

[Matthew 7:13-14,21-23; Luke 9:23-26; John 10:27-30; Acts 26:18; Romans 1:18-32; Romans 2:5-10; Romans 3:23; Romans 6:1-23; Romans 8:1-14; Romans 12:1-2; 1 Corinthians 6:9-10,19-20; 1 Corinthians 10:1-22; 2 Corinthians 5:10,15,21; Galatians 5:16-24; Ephesians 2:8-10; Ephesians 4:17-32; Ephesians 5:3-6; Titus 2:11-14; Hebrews 3:1-19; Hebrews 4:1-13; Hebrews 10:19-39; Hebrews 12:1-2; 1 Peter 2:24; 1 John 1:1-10; 1 John 2:1-6; 1 John 3:4-10; Revelation 2:1-29; Revelation 3:1-22]

They shall walk in white; be in Me, made right.

Ungodly Influences in Our Lives

Jeremiah 2:1-5,13 BSB (Berean Standard Bible)

 

1Now the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 2“Go and proclaim in the hearing of Jerusalem that this is what the LORD says:

‘I remember the devotion of your youth,

your love as a bride,

how you followed Me in the wilderness,

in a land not sown.

3Israel was holy to the LORD,

the firstfruits of His harvest.

All who devoured her

were found guilty;

disaster came upon them,’”

declares the LORD.

 

4Hear the word of the LORD, O house of Jacob, and all you families of the house of Israel. 5This is what the LORD says:

“What fault did your fathers find in Me

that they strayed so far from Me?

They followed worthless idols,

and became worthless themselves.”

 

“13For My people have committed two evils:

They have forsaken Me,

the fountain of living water,

and they have dug their own cisterns—

broken cisterns that cannot hold water.”

 

Forsaking The Lord

 

Believing in Jesus Christ is not a one time event which takes place in our lives which guarantees us entry into God’s heaven when we die. All is well which ends well, not all that begins well and then fizzles out to nothing as time progresses. We don’t just “get saved” and now we can live however we want and still spend eternity with God in His heaven. The Bible teaches that we are saved (past), we are being saved (present active), and we will be saved (future) when Christ returns provided we continue to live for Him.

 

[Matthew 7:21-23; Matthew 24:9-14; Luke 9:23-26; John 8:31-32; John 15:1-12; Romans 6:16; Romans 8:24; Romans 11:17-24; Romans 13:11; 1 Corinthians 1:18; 1 Corinthians 15:1-2; Colossians 1:21-23; 2 Timothy 1:8-9; 2 Timothy 2:10-13; Hebrews 3:6,14-15; Hebrews 9:28; 1 Peter 1:5,9; 2 Peter 1:5-11; 2 Peter 2:20-22; 1 John 1:5-10; 1 John 2:3-6,24-25]

 

So, if we profess faith in Jesus Christ with our lips, and for a while we are faithful in service to Him, but then we get captivated by the world and by the sinful pleasures of the flesh, and if that is where we remain, and if we do not repent of our sins, and if we do not go back to serving the Lord with our lives, we are not guaranteed heaven as our eternal destiny. For Jesus said that not everyone who calls Him “Lord” will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the ones DOING (obeying) the will of God (see Matthew 7:21-23).

 

Our Earthly Fathers

 

Our earthly fathers can include our birth parents, but they can also include our spiritual leaders which we had throughout our lives. And they can include public or private school teachers, or Sunday school teachers, or Bible study leaders, or pastors or elders or deacons, or anyone in a position of authority, especially in spiritual authority over us as we were growing up and into adulthood. These are people who have left their mark on our lives and who had enormous influence over our beliefs and over our practices.

 

Some of them may have been people of integrity, honesty, moral purity, and uprightness who set good and godly examples for us in how we are to live as followers of Christ. Others may have been legalists who insisted on non-essentials while they were liars, thieves, abusers, and adulterers, i.e. they were hypocrites. And others may have been idolaters who were putting on a performance of righteousness while they sinned in secret, or those who taught we do not have to obey God and repent of our sins. All kinds!

 

Their Examples to Us

 

So, we may have had some good and godly examples in our lives, and/or we may have had some really horrible examples in our lives of what being a Christian should look like in daily practice. Either way, we are all individually responsible to God for our own actions. For we all know right from wrong. We all can discern good from evil if we choose to. So if we forsake the Lord, and if we go after the idols and the sinful pleasures this world has to offer us, it is on us, not on anyone else. We must answer to God for what we do.

 

Sadly, we live in a day and time (in the USA, we do) when so many people are listening to the wrong voices and so they are following after what those voices are telling them rather than searching the Scriptures themselves to see what they teach in their appropriate biblical context. And context is critical to correct biblical interpretation. Too many false teachings come from Scriptures being taught out of context and thus twisted to say what they do not say if taught in the correct biblical context. So, be discerning people.

 

The Gospel

 

For by God-gifted faith in Jesus Christ, which is not of our own doing, we are crucified with Christ in death to sin and raised with Christ to walk in newness of life in Him, no longer to live as slaves to sin but as slaves to righteousness in walks of obedience to God’s commands. We are no longer to permit sin to reign in our mortal bodies to make us obey its desires. For if sin is what we obey, it results in death. But if obedience to God is what we obey, it results in sanctification, and its end is eternal life with God (see Romans 6:1-23).

 

For God’s grace, which is bringing us salvation, is training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives while we wait for Jesus’ return. For it is not the one who claims he is “in Christ” who is “in Christ,” but it is the one who has denied self, died with Christ to sin, and who is now walking in obedience to our Lord and to his commands, in practice, and no longer in sin. We have the hope and the promise of eternal life with God in heaven (see Titus 2:11-14; 1 John 1-3).

Neither Cold Nor Hot, Video

This is the last of the writings to the 7 churches in Revelation 2-3. This is the church in Laodicea who was neither on fire for the Lord nor were the people totally against the Lord, but they were spiritually lukewarm. So Jesus was about to spit them out of His mouth. This is like those today who profess faith in Jesus with their lips but who still make sin their practice and not obedience to God. And so the Lord is calling them to repent of their sin and to obey His commands. So He is calling out to His wayward church to let Him back into their lives so that in the end they would have eternal life with God.

By Him Who's to be Treasured

May I tell you truly, 

You who’re so unruly,

Life is to be measured

By Him who’s to be treasured.

God, who is The Righteous,

Is a God of justice.

He declared His wisdom

Through those who had His vision.

They foretold the future,

Of nations in a stupor,

Of times like that of Noah,

Of people in a coma,

A time when God must judge us,

For He must bring us justice,

To turn the hearts of people

Away from all their evil.

Jeremiah 1:13-16 BSB (Berean Standard Bible)

 

13Again the word of the LORD came to me, asking, “What do you see?” “I see a boiling pot,” I replied, “and it is tilting toward us from the north.” 14Then the LORD said to me, “Disaster from the north will be poured out on all who live in the land. 15For I am about to summon all the clans and kingdoms of the north,” declares the LORD.

 

“Their kings will come and set up their thrones

at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem.

They will attack all her surrounding walls

and all the other cities of Judah.

16I will pronounce My judgments against them

for all their wickedness,

because they have forsaken Me,

and they have burned incense to other gods

and worshiped the works of their own hands.

 

For All Their Wickedness

 

Translated to our world today, this is speaking of the judgment of God against all who profess the name of Jesus but who are living the opposite of what God requires of us who profess His name. This is against all who have forsaken the Lord to go after the idols of this world, who are living immoral, sinful and wicked lives. Among them are those who engage in what is illegal, fake, manipulative, twisted, seductive, sexually immoral, and/or rebellious, and they do this habitually with hard hearts while faking the opposite.

 

Among them are those who are predators who spin webs of deceit in order to catch others in their snare. They are liars and deceivers who profess one thing with their lips while they live the opposite, who lead others astray with their lies, and who will lead others into sin, and/or who willfully misrepresent someone who is following the Lord Jesus, out of hatred and jealousy, and in order to destroy them and their reputation. Although they might profess love for God with their lips, their lifestyles and habits speak the opposite of that.

 

They Have Forsaken God

 

Sadly, so much of what is called “church” today, here in the USA, are businesses of human origin being marketed to the people of the world. They are designed to attract the world to their gatherings, and so they use gimmicks and entertainment to draw in large crowds of people from the world into their gatherings. Therefore, they also dilute and alter the gospel of our salvation so as not to offend the people of the world and to be more acceptable to those who are continuing in deliberate and habitual sin.

 

So many of them now are teaching that all we have to do, in order to be saved and on our way to heaven, is to make a profession of faith in Jesus Christ, done deal! But the Scriptures teach we must deny self, die to sin, and follow our Lord in obedience to His commands, in life practice, if we are to have salvation from sin and eternal life with God. For Jesus died and rose from the dead in order to deliver us out from under our slavery to sin so we will now serve Him with our lives in walks of obedience to His commands.

 

The Judgments of God

 

Now, all throughout the Scriptures we learn of the judgments of God which are to take place in these last days before the return of our Lord. I believe we are already beginning to see some of those taking place throughout the world and within the USA, which is where I live. I believe the beast is rising and he is already conquering people and nations throughout the world, and a one world order is already being formed. Lies and liars abound just about everywhere you look these days. It makes it hard to believe other people.

 

All is in God’s timing, though.

 

Jeremiah 1:17-19 BSB (Berean Standard Bible)

 

17Get yourself ready. Stand up and tell them everything that I command you. Do not be intimidated by them, or I will terrify you before them. 18Now behold, this day I have made you like a fortified city, an iron pillar, and bronze walls against the whole land—against the kings of Judah, its officials, its priests, and the people of the land. 19They will fight against you but will never overcome you, since I am with you to deliver you,” declares the LORD.

 

As Followers of Jesus Christ

 

So, as followers of Jesus Christ, what is our response to be to all of this? We are to be spreading the truth of the gospel of Christ to the people of this world. And right now, the internet (at least in the USA) is still wide open for us to be declaring publicly the truth of the gospel of Christ. But already I am beginning to see the potential of censorship taking place to where we will be limited to what we can say or not say in the near future. So the time for us to do this is now and it may be soon that this censorship will take place.

 

But… We are not to compromise the gospel message. We are to keep speaking the truth in love to the people of the world. We are not to allow ourselves to be intimidated by those who want to censor us, and who want us to dilute the gospel message to make it less offensive to the ungodly. And who are the ungodly? They are all who are living in addictive sin who have not surrendered their lives to Jesus and who are not walking in obedience to His commands, whether or not they profess faith in Jesus Christ.

 

Keep Speaking The Truth

 

Yes, we are to obey the authorities over us, but we are not to disobey God by compromising the truth of the gospel to be less offensive to the ungodly. Remember that Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego, Jesus Christ, Peter, John, and Paul, et al, stood against those in authority over them when the authority over them commanded that they not obey God. And we are to do likewise. We must keep speaking the truth of the gospel to the people for them to be delivered out of sin and to now obey God with their lives.

 

For Jesus Christ taught that to come to Him we must deny self, take up our cross daily (die daily to sin), and follow (obey) Him. For if we hold on to living in sin and for self, we will lose our lives for eternity. But if we deny self, die daily to sin, by the Spirit, and we walk in obedience to our Lord and to His commands, in His power, then we have eternal life with God. For not everyone who calls Him “Lord” will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one DOING (obeying) the will of God (see Luke 9:23-26; Matthew 7:21-23).

Woe to me should I not preach Jesus.

I’m compelled to preach the full gospel.

I make myself a slave to ev’ryone

To win their hearts to Christ.

All this I do for my Lord Jesus,

And for the sake of His Name;

Do it for the sake of His gospel,

So that I, its blessings gain.

 

Scripture notates the sins of others;

Written down for us as examples

To keep us from setting our hearts

On evil as did those of old.

Do not worship other gods of man;

Do not give your hearts to them;

Not partake in immorality.

Do not test your Lord and King.

 

So, be careful if you think you are

Standing firm in your faith in Jesus.                        

God has given His word to warn us,

So through faith we will not fall.

No temptation has o’ertaken you

Except what is commonplace.

God is faithful to not let you be

Tempted past what you can bear.

He gives the way of escape.

Hypocritical Liars and Abusers, Video

This was the church in Philadelphia. This is a short summary of the 6^th of the 7 letters to the churches in Revelation 2-3. This was an encouragement to the church who kept God’s word and who did not deny His name during trying times. Jesus was letting them know that He could open doors of opportunity for them that no man could shut and that He can shut doors that no man can open. And those are comforting words! But to those who belonged to the synagogue of Satan, Jesus would bring them to their knees, and they would acknowledge one day God’s love for His followers.

Why Was Jesus Hated?

Jesus Christ, who is the Son of God,

Taught the narrow way, not the way that’s broad.

Did not participate He in the ways of man,

But He followed God, and He lived God’s plan.

Walked the narrow way, led a righteous life,

Obeyed God’s commands, free from sin and strife.

Shared the gospel truth, He opposed the lies,

Called out hypocrites, told them they would die.

Said to follow Him we must deny self,

Die to sin each day and put self on shelf.

Said if we hold on to our lives of sin

We will lose our lives, not be forgiven.

If we die to sin and we live to Christ

Free from sin’s dark grip, in Him we’ll have life.

So, repent of sin, obey His commands,

Walk with Him in truth, your life in His hands.

P.S. If you walk the walk that Jesus walked, and if you speak the truth as He spoke the truth, the Bible teaches that you will be hated and persecuted as he was hated and persecuted, even by those closest to you.

See: [Matthew 5:10-12; Matthew 10:16-25,34-39; Matthew 24:9-14; Luke 6:22-23; Luke 12:49-53; Luke 21:12-17; John 15:18-21]

Called of God

Jeremiah 1:4-5 BSB (Berean Standard Bible)

 

4The word of the LORD came to me, saying: 5“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”

 

Called of God Before Birth

 

Before Jeremiah was even formed in the womb of his mother God knew him, because God is the one who formed him in his mother’s womb, i.e. God created him. And before Jeremiah was even born God set him apart and He appointed him as a prophet to the nations. And God created all of us. He formed us in our mother’s wombs. Those God foreknew “He also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son.” He “chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him.”

 

See [Romans 8:29; 2 Timothy 1:8-9; Ephesians 1:3-4; 1 Peter 1:14-16]

 

“13For You formed my inmost being;

You knit me together in my mother’s womb.

14I praise You,

for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.

Marvelous are Your works,

and I know this very well.

15My frame was not hidden from You

when I was made in secret,

when I was woven together

in the depths of the earth.

16Your eyes saw my unformed body;

all my days were written in Your book

and ordained for me

before one of them came to be.” (Psalm 139:13-16 BSB)

 

Called to Share the Gospel

 

Jeremiah was called of God to be a prophet of God. But not all of us are called to be prophets. However, all of us who are of faith in Jesus Christ, who have died with Christ to sin, and who have been raised with Christ to walk in newness of life in Him, no longer as slaves to sin, but now as servants of righteousness in walks of obedience to His commands, we are called of God in much the same ways in which God called Jeremiah. For all of us are called of God to share the message of the gospel of our salvation with the people.

 

Sharing the Gospel: [Matthew 5:13-16; Matthew 28:18-20; John 4:34-38; John 13:13-17; John 14:12; Acts 1:8; Acts 26:16-18; Romans 10:14-15; Ephesians 2:10; Ephesians 5:11-14; 1 Peter 2:9; 1 John 2:3-6]

 

We are to let our lights shine before men, that they may see our good deeds and glorify our Father in heaven. We are to go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey all that Jesus Christ commanded us. And we will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon us, and we will be God’s witnesses to the ends of the earth. And we are to proclaim the virtues of Him who called us out of darkness into His marvelous light.

 

Jeremiah 1:6-10 BSB (Berean Standard Bible)

 

6“Ah, Lord GOD,” I said, “I surely do not know how to speak, for I am only a child!” But the LORD told me: “Do not say, ‘I am only a child.’ For to everyone I send you, you must go, and all that I command you, you must speak. 8Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you,” declares the LORD.

 

9Then the LORD reached out His hand, touched my mouth, and said to me:

“Behold, I have put My words in your mouth. 10See, I have appointed you today over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and plant.”

 

No Excuses

 

Now, I don’t believe that Jeremiah was just making excuses for why he could not obey God in this. I believe he just lacked the maturity to comprehend what all God was capable of doing in his life, and all that God could do in him and through him in the power of God. So the Lord explained to him that it would be God sending him, and that God would give him the words to speak, and that God would be there to deliver him from all who might oppose him. So he was not to be afraid of the people or what they might do to him.

 

But I do believe there are many who God has called to ministry who have made excuses for why they cannot serve the Lord according to the calling He has placed on their lives (and on all of our lives). For all of us who are faith in Jesus Christ are to be sharing the truth of the gospel, as taught by Jesus and by His New Testament apostles, in the correct biblical context. And we are to call the people to faith in Jesus Christ, to deny self, die to sin, and follow Jesus in walks of obedience to His commands, empowered by God.

 

[Matthew 7:13-14,21-23; Luke 9:23-26; John 10:27-30; Acts 26:18; Romans 1:18-32; Romans 2:5-10; Romans 3:23; Romans 6:1-23; Romans 8:1-14; Romans 12:1-2; 1 Corinthians 6:9-10,19-20; 1 Corinthians 10:1-22; 2 Corinthians 5:10,15,21; Galatians 5:16-24; Ephesians 2:8-10; Ephesians 4:17-32; Ephesians 5:3-6; Titus 2:11-14; Hebrews 3:1-19; Hebrews 4:1-13; Hebrews 10:19-39; Hebrews 12:1-2; 1 Peter 2:24; 1 John 1:1-10; 1 John 2:1-6; 1 John 3:4-10; Revelation 2:1-29; Revelation 3:1-22]

 

So, listen for God’s voice. Hear what He says. Then obey Him in practice.

Near the Cross 

 

Hymn lyrics by Fanny J. Crosby, 1869

Music by William H. Doane, 1869

 

Jesus, keep me near the cross;

There a precious fountain,

Free to all, a healing stream,

Flows from Calvary's mountain.

 

Near the cross, a trembling soul,

Love and mercy found me;

There the bright and morning star

Sheds its beams around me.

          

Near the cross! O Lamb of God,

Bring its scenes before me;

Help me walk from day to day

With its shadow o'er me.

 

Near the cross I'll watch and wait,

Hoping, trusting ever,

Till I reach the golden strand

Just beyond the river.

        

In the cross, in the cross,

Be my glory ever,

Till my raptured soul shall find

Rest beyond the river.

What Do We Live By?

Revelation 21:1-8,27; 22:14-15 BSB (Berean Standard Bible)

 

1Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. 2I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

 

3And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying:

“Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man,

and He will dwell with them.

They will be His people,

and God Himself will be with them as their God.

4‘He will wipe away every tear from their eyes,’

and there will be no more death

or mourning or crying or pain,

for the former things have passed away.”

 

5And the One seated on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” Then He said, “Write this down, for these words are faithful and true.” 6And He told me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give freely from the spring of the water of life. 7The one who overcomes will inherit all things, and I will be his God, and he will be My son.

 

8But to the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and sexually immoral and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their place will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur. This is the second death.”

 

27But nothing unclean will ever enter it, nor anyone who practices an abomination or a lie, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.

 

Revelation 22:14Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life and may enter the city by its gates. 15But outside are the dogs, the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.

 

The Old is Gone, The New Has Come

 

One day the world as we now know it will be no more. We who believe in Jesus Christ, who have died with Him to sin, and who are living for Him in walks of obedience to His commands, in surrender to His will, we will be forever with our Lord. There will be no more sadness; no more pain; no more death. All those things will be gone. To those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, who long to do the will of God, and who no longer live to please the flesh, we will be with our Lord for eternity without end.

 

Lip Service is Not Enough

 

But not everyone who professes faith in Jesus Christ will be with the Lord for eternity where there will be no more death and pain and sorrow. Those who give lip service only to God, but who do NOT bow the knee to Him in worship of Him and in walks of surrender to His will, in obedience to His commands, and no longer as slaves to sin, they will not have the hope of eternity with our Lord. For all those who practice sexual immorality, sorcery, idolatry, lying, or murdering, etc., their place will be in the lake of fire for eternity.

 

No one who lives a spiritually unclean and immoral life, in practice, will enter into the gates of the Holy City of God. No one who makes a practice of lying or who practices an abomination (what is morally disgusting and abhorrent to God) will enter into God’s eternal kingdom. Only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life will be able to enter into God’s holy presence. And they are those who, by faith in Jesus Christ, died with Christ to sin and who obeyed Him and His commands in life practice until the end.

 

All those who have denied self, died to sin, and obeyed God and His commands in life practice, by the grace of God, and in the power of God, have the hope of eternity with God where there will be no more crying and dying and pain and sorrow, where the devil will be no more. But all who practice sorcery, sexual immorality, idolatry, lying, murder, and the like, in life practice, by habit, and who do not repent of their sins, and who do not obey the Lord’s commands, they will not enter into eternal life with God.

 

The Gospel Truth

 

For Jesus Christ taught that to come to Him we must deny self, take up our cross daily (die daily to sin), and follow (obey) Him. For if we hold on to living in sin and for self, we will lose our lives for eternity. But if we deny self, die daily to sin, by the Spirit, and we walk in obedience to our Lord and to His commands, in His power, then we have eternal life with God. For not everyone who calls Him “Lord” will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one DOING (obeying) the will of God (see Luke 9:23-26; Matthew 7:21-23).

 

For by God-gifted faith in Jesus Christ, which is not of our own doing, we are crucified with Christ in death to sin and raised with Christ to walk in newness of life in Him, no longer to live as slaves to sin but as slaves to righteousness in walks of obedience to God’s commands. We are no longer to permit sin to reign in our mortal bodies to make us obey its desires. For if sin is what we obey, it results in death. But if obedience to God is what we obey, it results in sanctification, and its end is eternal life with God (see Romans 6:1-23).

 

[Matthew 7:13-14,21-23; Luke 9:23-26; John 10:27-30; Acts 26:18; Romans 1:18-32; Romans 2:5-10; Romans 3:23; Romans 6:1-23; Romans 8:1-14; Romans 12:1-2; 1 Corinthians 6:9-10,19-20; 1 Corinthians 10:1-22; 2 Corinthians 5:10,15,21; Galatians 5:16-24; Ephesians 2:8-10; Ephesians 4:17-32; Ephesians 5:3-6; Titus 2:11-14; Hebrews 3:1-19; Hebrews 4:1-13; Hebrews 10:19-39; Hebrews 12:1-2; 1 Peter 2:24; 1 John 1:1-10; 1 John 2:1-6; 1 John 3:4-10; Revelation 2:1-29; Revelation 3:1-22]

 

Take This to Heart

 

So, take God and His Word to heart to obey them. For God means what He says. If sin is your practice, and not obedience to God and to His commands, it does not matter what your lips profess. You will not have eternal life with God. And this is not saying you must be absolutely perfect in everything that you do and that if you fail once you lose your salvation. This is speaking of your life practice. Is obedience to God and death to sin what you live by? Or are you still walking in sin and disobedience to God as your life practice?

As the Deer

 

By Martin J. Nystrom

Based off Psalm 42:1

 

As the deer panteth for the water

So my soul longeth after You

You alone are my heart's desire

And I long to worship You

 

You alone are my strength, my shield

To You alone may my spirit yield

You alone are my heart's desire

And I long to worship You

 

[A Prayer of Devotion to God Alone]

Are You Dead or Alive, Video

This is the fifth in a series of videos on the Letters to the 7 churches in Revelation, chapter 2-3. This is with regard to the church in Sardis. They had a reputation of being alive but they were mostly dead spiritually. So they were to remember what they had received and heard from God, to keep it and repent, or they would face the judgment of God. But not everyone professing faith in Jesus in Sardis were in that category. Some of them were living holy lives pleasing to God and they were approved by God.

Today

Today is not an ordinary day

Today is not just a time to play

Today’s not to be a time lived for self

Today is time to put self on the shelf

Today is a day to commit life to God

Today is a day to stop being a fraud

Today is a time to make Jesus your Lord

Life that’s without Him you cannot afford

Tomorrow may be what you not want to be

Tomorrow you may not be free as a bee

Tomorrow you can’t really anticipate

And by tomorrow it may be too late

So, please do not take the life you are given

For granted and think you’ll end up in heaven

For Jesus has said if you say to Him, “Lord,”

But then you live idly, His grace not afford

For you not obey Him and do what He says

But you walk in sin, live for self, now instead

You live for your idols, what pleases your soul

For you’re not in Jesus, your life not made whole

So give of your life, give it now all to God

Surrender your will to Him, not be a fraud

Die to your sin and deny what is self

No longer put God and His Word on a shelf

Live for Him daily, do all that He says

Walk in His fellowship, praise Him, instead

Walk in His holiness, purity vow

Give up your idols and to HIM now bow

The Passion of Her Immorality

Revelation 18:1-5 BSB (Berean Standard Bible)

 

1After this I saw another angel descending from heaven with great authority, and the earth was illuminated by his glory. 2And he cried out in a mighty voice:

 

“Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great!

She has become a lair for demons

and a haunt for every unclean spirit,

every unclean bird,

and every detestable beast.

3All the nations have drunk the wine

of the passion of her immorality.

The kings of the earth were immoral with her,

and the merchants of the earth have grown wealthy

from the extravagance of her luxury.”

4Then I heard another voice from heaven say:

“Come out of her, My people,

so that you will not share in her sins

or contract any of her plagues.

5For her sins are piled up to heaven,

and God has remembered her iniquities.”

 

Babylon the Great

 

Who is Babylon the great? There are varied opinions and perspectives on this subject. I believe “Babylon” to be an ungodly and a worldly influence which is coming from people in positions of power and influence within the world, as a whole. But I also believe she has a physical location from which most of this influence stems and spreads throughout the world. And I believe that physical location is in the USA. For what physical nation in the world has the most influence and power over the other nations of the world?

 

“The United States has the most military bases throughout the world, operating roughly 750 to 887 foreign installations across about 80 countries and territories.” “The Department of Defense manages roughly 4,790 military sites worldwide.” And “the U.S. controls roughly 75% to 85% of all foreign military bases globally.” And “the US accounts for roughly 44% of NATO’s overall composite military capabilities.” (source: Google)

 

And what other physical nation in the world has been going throughout the world conquering one nation after another after another in nations such as Afghanistan, Tunisia, Egypt, Gaza Strip, West Bank, Turkey, Iraq, Libya, Pakistan, Yemen, Greece, Syria, Ukraine and Iran? And no one is stopping them yet. First they create a false flag scenario which then gives them the excuse to go into other nations in order to conquer them for the New World Order and to steal from them their natural resources and to kill their people.

 

Her Influence

 

But her influence is not coming just from the government. It is coming from the institutional market-driven “churches” in our nation, too, which have taken on her character and values. For, from the time I was a small child we were taught, both in the public schools and in the church gatherings, that we are to pledge our allegiance to our government, and that we are to sing patriotic songs of worship of our government, and that we are to honor our military as our heroes who are keeping us safe from “the bad guys.”

 

And her influence is multifaceted. It is a combination of church and government in one big package. For so much of what is being referred to today as “church” are these institutions of human origin which are partnered with the world and with the government in unholy unions, which God forbids, and they are turning their gatherings into businesses to be marketed to the people of the world, which God also forbids. And so many of them are teaching a false gospel which does not require repentance and obeying God.

 

[Matthew 21:12-13; John 2:13-17; Acts 5:27-32; 1 Corinthians 1:10-13; 1 Corinthians 3:1-9; 2 Corinthians 6:14-18; Philippians 3:18-19; Revelation 2:1-29; Revelation 3:1-22; Revelation 13:5-8; Revelation 18:1-5]

 

Come Out of Her

 

So, if you live in the USA, and if you are still putting hand over heart and pledging (vowing) allegiance (fidelity) to the US government, please stop! We who believe in Jesus Christ are to give our worship to none other than God – Father, Son Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit. Yes, we are to obey our governing authorities unless they insist we disobey God. But we are not to vow our fidelity to an ungodly and immoral and wicked government. We, as the people of this nation, are to come out from underneath their influence.

 

And if your “church” is busy marketing your “church” to the world via entertaining them and via teaching a half-truth (lie) gospel which does not require that by faith in Jesus Christ we deny self, die to sin, and obey God’s commands in life practice, then this is a call for you to come out from among them, too, so that you do not share in her sins and in her punishment. For if your “church” is pacifying the people in their sins instead of calling them to repent and to obey God, you are to come out from among them.

 

For the Gospel Teaches

 

Jesus Christ taught that to come to Him we must deny self, take up our cross daily (die daily to sin), and follow (obey) Him. For if we hold on to living in sin and for self, we will lose our lives for eternity. But if we deny self, die daily to sin, by the Spirit, and we walk in obedience to our Lord and to His commands, in His power, then we have eternal life with God. For not everyone who calls Him “Lord” will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one DOING (obeying) the will of God (see Luke 9:23-26; Matthew 7:21-23).

 

For by God-gifted faith in Jesus Christ, which is not of our own doing, we are crucified with Christ in death to sin and raised with Christ to walk in newness of life in Him, no longer to live as slaves to sin but as slaves to righteousness in walks of obedience to God’s commands. We are no longer to permit sin to reign in our mortal bodies to make us obey its desires. For if sin is what we obey, it results in death. But if obedience to God is what we obey, it results in sanctification, and its end is eternal life with God (see Romans 6:1-23).

 

[Matthew 7:13-14,21-23; Luke 9:23-26; John 10:27-30; Acts 26:18; Romans 1:18-32; Romans 2:5-10; Romans 3:23; Romans 6:1-23; Romans 8:1-14; Romans 12:1-2; 1 Corinthians 6:9-10,19-20; 1 Corinthians 10:1-22; 2 Corinthians 5:10,15,21; Galatians 5:16-24; Ephesians 2:8-10; Ephesians 4:17-32; Ephesians 5:3-6; Titus 2:11-14; Hebrews 3:1-19; Hebrews 4:1-13; Hebrews 10:19-39; Hebrews 12:1-2; 1 Peter 2:24; 1 John 1:1-10; 1 John 2:1-6; 1 John 3:4-10; Revelation 2:1-29; Revelation 3:1-22]

Walking in The Light 

 

Based off 1 John 1-2

An Original Work / November 16, 2011

Christ’s Free Servant, Sue J Love

 

When I lift up my voice, and sing praise unto God,

I will fellowship with my Lord and Savior, King.

In Him there is no darkness. He is in the light of truth.

If we walk in His light, from sin He purifies.

 

If we repent of our sins, He’ll forgive us now,

When we humble ourselves, and before Jesus bow.

The man who says, “I know Him,” but does not obey His truth,

There is no truth in him. In darkness still he’s found.

 

Do not love the world of sin, for it is hell bound.

If you follow the world, you’ll not in Christ be found.

The world and its desires will not last; they’ll expire.

The one who does God’s will, receives eternal life.

 

See that what you have heard from Christ remains in you.

Then, you’ll remain in Christ, and in His Father, too.

This is what He promised us – His eternal life with God.

So, continue in Him, and you’ll receive a crown.

Fear God and Give Him Glory

Revelation 14:6-7 BSB (Berean Standard Bible)

 

6Then I saw another angel flying overhead, with the eternal gospel to proclaim to those who dwell on the earth—to every nation and tribe and tongue and people. 7And he said in a loud voice, “Fear God and give Him glory, because the hour of His judgment has come. Worship the One who made the heavens and the earth and the sea and the springs of waters.”

 

A Call to Ministry

 

Twenty two years ago, when I was 54 years old, the Lord called me to this ministry of writing down what I was learning each day from my times spent with the Lord in His Word, and then to post these writings on the internet. But He also led me one day to do something which was unusual for me, i.e. it was “outside the box” (an idiomatic phrase) from what I would normally do. He led me one day in November to walk for 12 hours throughout my city proclaiming that Jesus Christ is coming soon and that the people need to repent of their sins and to believe the Good News of the gospel of Christ.

 

And one of the things which stands out to me about that day was this one man who followed me outside of the restaurant where I had just proclaimed these words to the people. He called out to me and he asked me to repeat what I had just said. So I repeated it for him. And then he told me that he did not need to repent of his sins, for all he had to do was just believe in Jesus. And sadly this is what many people are being taught today, that they do not have to repent of their sins nor obey God, but still be saved. But Jesus taught we must die to sin and obey God to be saved from our sins.

 

The Eternal Gospel

 

So the eternal gospel proclaimed by the angels to the people on the earth was not “just believe in Jesus and now all your sins are forgiven and heaven is guaranteed you when you die.” It was to “fear God and give Him glory, because the hour of His judgment has come.” And to fear God is to honor, obey, submit to, worship, and revere Him. And to give Him glory is to honor, praise, worship, and obey Him. And worship of Him is reverence, respect, and obedience to Him and to His commands. Thus, we do what He says, and we follow in His ways, and we forsake our sins because we love God.

 

The hour of His judgment on the earth will one day come, and we will all have to stand before the Lord to give an account for what we did with Jesus and with His gospel message. And there will be people who will say, “Lord, Lord,” and they will list off all the things they thought that they did in the name of Christ, but he will answer them, “I never knew you; depart from Me you workers of lawlessness!” For “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in heaven.” Obedience to God is required for salvation (see Matthew 7:21-23).

 

[Matthew 7:13-14,21-23; Luke 9:23-26; John 10:27-30; Acts 26:18; Romans 1:18-32; Romans 2:5-10; Romans 3:23; Romans 6:1-23; Romans 8:1-14; Romans 12:1-2; 1 Corinthians 6:9-10,19-20; 1 Corinthians 10:1-22; 2 Corinthians 5:10,15,21; Galatians 5:16-24; Ephesians 2:8-10; Ephesians 4:17-32; Ephesians 5:3-6; Titus 2:11-14; Hebrews 3:1-19; Hebrews 4:1-13; Hebrews 10:19-39; Hebrews 12:1-2; 1 Peter 2:24; 1 John 1:1-10; 1 John 2:1-6; 1 John 3:4-10; Revelation 2:1-29; Revelation 3:1-22]

 

Revelation 14:12-13 BSB (Berean Standard Bible)

 

12Here is a call for the perseverance of the saints, who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. 13And I heard a voice from heaven telling me to write, “Blessed are the dead—those who die in the Lord from this moment on.” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “they will rest from their labors, for their deeds will follow them.”

 

A Call to Perseverance

 

The times in which we live are pointing more and more to the last days and to the rule of the beast and to the persecution of the saints of God. There is so much wickedness going on in the world, and in our nations, and within the gatherings of many of what are called “churches,” at least here in the USA. So many liars and deceivers. So much fakery. So much persecution and rejection of those whose lives are surrendered to the Lord to obeying His commands and to living holy lives, pleasing to Him. So this is a call to all who are following Jesus Christ, to keep persevering and to not give up.

 

I am not God, so I do not know when our Lord will return or when He will come to judge or when these things talked about in the book of Revelation will all take place. But I do believe some of it has been going on for a while, and I do believe that we are seeing signs of more to come in our present age. I do believe that the church in the USA is in great need of revival and that it will probably take some kind of a national tragedy to bring many people to their knees in genuine repentance. But I do look forward to the day when I will be with my Lord for eternity and sorrow will be no more.

Crucified you are with Jesus.

To be like Him, oh, you’ll be,

Because He died at Calv’ry,

So from sin you’d be free.

Oh, what joy He brings into your life,

Giving life with Him endlessly.

 

Oh, what plans He has for your life.

Share the gospel faithfully.

Show the people He loves them.

Now His witness you’ll be.

Tell the world of sin about Jesus,

How He died for them on a tree.

 

Purifying hearts, He saves them,

Who believe on Christ, God’s Son.

Turning now from their idols,

New lives they have begun.

Jesus saves from sin; we’re forgiven.

Over sin, the vict’ry He won!

 

When He comes again to take us

To be with Him evermore,

There will be no more crying.

Gladness will be in store.

Heavens joys will now overtake us:

We’ll be with our Lord evermore.

Looking Through the Window

Now I am looking through the window

In the corner of my room.

I see people walking here and there

Seemingly without a care.

I wonder, “Do they truly know Him?

Do they think of Him at all?

Do they think of what He’s done for them?

Have they given Him a call?

“Do they wonder if He’s listening

To the words they choose to say?

Do they think on how they live their lives?

Do they stop, and to Him pray?

“Now is He barely even mentioned

When they’re talking to their friends?

Or is He given not a thought at all,

For on Him they not depend?

“Or is there just a vague connection

With the man who gave His life,

who on that cruel cross He suffered,

To set us free from sin and strife?”

So, I now pray for them in earnest,

That they come to know Him well,

So that their sins will be forgiven,

And forever with Him dwell,

So that they walk now with Him daily,

In obedience to Him,

And that they serve Him as their only

King of kings, who lives in heav’n.

To The Ones Who Overcome Video

This is the fourth in a series of videos pertaining to the letters to the 7 churches in Revelation. This one is addressed to the church in Thyatira. The church is being commended for their deeds – your love, your faith, your service, and your perseverance. But God had against them that they were tolerating a “Jezebel” spirit in someone (or in more than one person) who was misleading God’s servants to be sexually immoral and to be idolaters. And so Jesus called the church to repent or to face the judgment of God.

War Against the Saints

Revelation 13:6-10 BSB (Berean Standard Bible)

 

“6And the beast opened its mouth to speak blasphemies against God and to slander His name and His tabernacle—those who dwell in heaven. 7Then the beast was permitted to wage war against the saints and to conquer them, and it was given authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation. 8And all who dwell on the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written from the foundation of the world in the Book of Life belonging to the Lamb who was slain.

 

“9He who has an ear, let him hear:

10’If anyone is destined for captivity,

into captivity he will go;

if anyone is to die by the sword,

by the sword he must be killed.’

Here is a call for the perseverance and faith of the saints.”

 

Who is The Beast?

 

Who is this “beast”? There are many different opinions on that subject. I believe he is the wealthy and powerful people of the world who are bringing this world of ours into a One World Totalitarian Regime, one step at a time. And I believe the US government serves this beast in the position of “the harlot” who rides the beast. Interestingly enough, the vehicle which our presidents ride in is called “The Beast.” And literally our government has been serving this beast for quite some time doing their dirty work for them.

 

War Against the Saints

 

In these final days before the return of our Lord, God will permit this beast to wage war against the saints of God and to conquer them. And those who are called “saints” are God’s holy ones, the morally pure and upright who are dedicated to service to the Lord in walks of obedience to His commands in holy living. We are those who are called of God to come out from the world and to live holy lives pleasing to God. We are those who God is molding into His likeness that He might use us to reach other people for Jesus Christ.

 

So, for the beast to overcome us is not about conquering us spiritually, but conquering us physically to the death. The saints of God will be martyred for their walks of faith in obedience to the Lord during this time of tribulation to come upon the earth when this beast rules over the people of the earth. I personally believe this is already in the works and it won’t be much longer before we see the reality of this taking place in our day and time. If we are paying close attention, I believe we can see the signs of the times at work.

 

A False Allegiance

 

In the USA, where I live, I think it is a little more subtle than what it is in some other nations which are being taken down by this “beast.” We are not yet being conquered so much physically, as are other nations, but we are being taken down, as a nation, mentally, morally, and spiritually. So many people in my nation, and I was once one of them, have been brain washed by our government and the news media and by some pastors of “churches” to accept the lies as truth and to reject the truth as “conspiracy theories.”

 

From early childhood I grew up being taught that I must, with hand over heart, pledge (vow) my allegiance (fidelity) to the US government and to sing patriotic songs of worship of the US government and to regard our military as our heroes and as our “saviors” who were keeping our nation safe from “the bad guys.” And I was taught this in public school and in the church gatherings. And I did this until God opened my eyes to see the wrongness of this 20+ years ago. Then I could no longer participate in this hypocrisy.

 

Worship God Only!

 

For God – Father, Son Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit – is the only one to whom I am to give my worship. But all of us who worship God only and who say “No” to “the beast” will be persecuted. And some of us will be put to death for our obedience to God and because we would not bow to the beast. We are already being persecuted just if we say “No” to the false “church” which is partnered with the government and with the world, and “No” to a false “gospel,” not of God but which is a creation of man to appease the flesh.

 

So here is definitely a call for the perseverance and faith of the saints of God who have died with Christ to sin and who are now living for the Lord in walks of surrender to Him in obedience to His commands. For the closer our walks of faith to our Lord become, the more others will reject us and will persecute us, and they will want nothing to do with us because we are just too weird for them. For “Christianity” in the USA, at large, has become so worldly. And so many are teaching a false gospel which does not teach repentance and obedience to God’s commands as necessary components of believing faith.

Blessed are you when you’re persecuted

Because of your faith in Jesus Christ.

Blessed are you when people insult you,

And falsely say what leads folks to doubt.

Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is

Great in the heavens. You’re not alone.

 

When you are persecuted in one place,

Flee to another. God will be there.

You will be hated by all the nations

Because you testify of God’s grace.

Many will seize you and persecute you,

And put to death the foll’wers of Christ.

 

Yet do not fear what humans may do to you,

For I’m with you all through the night.

I tell you, love your enemies with my love,

And forgive as I forgave you.

Pray for those who do evil against you.

Rest in my love and grace from above.
