Philippians 2:12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
obeyed means attentive hearkening, compliance / submission.
salvation means deliverance from sin and its spiritual consequences and admission to Eternal Life with blessedness.
fear means reverence , deep sense of accountability, used intensively trembling fear.
trembling means quaking with fear.
so My opinion is this has something to do with our pursuit of sanctification / holiness and keeping ourselves pure and undefiled. and not receiving the Grace of God in vain. without Holiness none shall see the Lord.
2 Corinthians 6:1 We then, as workers together with Him, beseech you also that ye receive not the Grace of God in vain.
Hebrews 12:14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord
Hebrews 12:15 looking diligently lest any man fail of the Grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled
Romans 12:2 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.
conformed means Fashion alike, conform to same pattern, give same form with
Transformed means Change one's form, transformed in mind and heart
Renewing means renovation which makes a person different than in the past, renew qualitatively
Acceptable means well pleasing , strive to make our lives acceptable & well pleasing
Romans 6:12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.

short message
John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
Spiritual blindness / apart from God man cannot make right decisions
Proverbs 14:12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a ...man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
Jeremiah 10:23 O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself:
it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.
why people are destroyed
Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me:
seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children
Result of humanity's departure from God and His saving knowledge and choosing their own way
Isaiah 59:1-4) 1 Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save;
neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:
2 but your iniquities have separated between you and your God,
and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.
3 For your hands are defiled with blood,
and your fingers with iniquity;
your lips have spoken lies,
your tongue hath muttered perverseness.
4 None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth:
they trust in vanity, and speak lies;
they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.
Isaiah 59:8-9)
8 The way of peace they know not;
and there is no judgment in their goings:
they have made them crooked paths:
whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace.
9 Therefore is judgment far from us,
neither doth justice overtake us:
we wait for light, but behold obscurity;
for brightness, but we walk in darkness.

we ought to remain sober and vigilant
its important in these times not to let our guard down, we ought to remain sober and vigilant take heed watch and pray and keep on the whole armour of God. selfless & surrendered whole heartedly is important to keep our lives hid in Christ. we must continue abiding in Christ and His word. the word of God is a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path. studying and knowing the word of God and hiding it in our heart is important.
Psalm 119:105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
Psalm 119:11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart,that I might not sin against thee.
John 3:30 He must increase but I must decrease
2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
1 Timothy 4:14-16] 14 Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery. 15 Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. 16 Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.
1 peter 4:7 But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.
1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour
Matthew 26:41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
why such urgency to remain sober and vigilant ? the next scripture will explain it
" Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath "] " The devil [has] great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time"
Revelation 12:12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
Knowing that his time is short, and that Jesus Christ will soon replace him as ruler of earth, Satan will vent his fury against the world's inhabitants. His rage will bring even more suffering and sorrow.
Revelation 12:13-17] 13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child. 14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. 15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood. 16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth. 17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Christ confirm that His followers would be persecuted
Luke 21:12 But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for My Name’s sake.
Luke 21:16-17] 16 And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death. 17 And ye shall be hated of all men for My Name’s sake. 18 But there shall not an hair of your head perish.
Jesus prophesied that, as events come to a climax before His return, some will lash out at those who are faithful to God. Some will be imprisoned, some killed. In a world increasingly hostile to God and His laws, those who believe in and try to live God's way will be hated. As Paul warns us, "all who desire to live Godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution"
2 Timothy 3:12 Yea, and all that will live Godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

You may be going through the hardest trial of your life
You may be going through the hardest trial of your life the stormy winds might be shaking all that you have direction might not seem very clear right now because the wind is blowing and throwing everything at you. my friend never ever Give, despite the pain despite the tears be determined not to give up, your not alone God Almighty is with you, and He wants you to trust Him and Look to Him with yo...ur whole heart. God wants you to finish the race keep fighting the Good fight of faith lay hold on Eternal life. God sees the pain on your face He sees the pain in your heart, your tears Your cry has reached His ears, pray on just a little while longer. He is about to step in and show you He is still with you and renew your strength. keep in mind shadrach Meshach and abed-ngo were thrown in the fiery furnace they kept praising God even when the heat was turned up they weren't alone four men were seen loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God. your not alone either, keep praying praising and trusting in the Lord stand firm in your faith walk through this by faith
do you really want revival in your church ?
I hear many churches and many Christians shouting that they want revival . do you really ? Revival will begin at the altar of repentance in the heart of every man & woman who will hear what the spirit says unto the churches. revival will begin not by a popular minister but through a trumpet voice declaring what Thus saith the Lord, confronting sinful wicked men with preaching empowered by the Holy... spirit Of God Almighty. this revival everyone is shouting about they are looking for signs miracles and wonders. adjust your focus a real revival is going to bring congergations to repentance a point of decision to break up their fallow ground a decision of self denial and counting the cost to Follow Christ. this decision requires whole hearted submission and surrender letting go of fleshly desires and pursuits getting rid of all you gimmicks entertainment fancy lights stages and rock concerts . this decision requires that man repent and submit in willingness to obey the full counsel of the Living active word of God. this revival message many will hate many in the congregation will walk out and leave and search for a church that preaches like the false teacher Joel Olsteen. this decision requires a pursuit of Holiness, it requires letting go of all religious activities and routines and seeking the will of God in all things. this decision requires walking by faith not by sight, it requires be willing to suffer for the Names sake of Christ being hated by the world persecuted. will you let the Trumpet voice of God Almighty Boldly speak and call people to repent and tear down the altars of Baal, and tear down every idol in your heart?
Nations shake their fist at God
Nations shake their fist at God mocking Him disobeying Him, continuing in sin. nations call upon God when troubled times come and after He comes to their rescue and helps them they forget about God and continue in wickedness shaking their fist at God. thanking Him for Grace that they don't understand. they build their lives on sinking sand. God commands all to repent and forsake sin, yet they blindly forsake God thinking Grace has them covered. Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil;that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
Listen up take heed --------->------------> Proverbs 1:23-33)
23 Turn you at my reproof:
behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you,
I will make known my words unto you.
24 Because I have called, and ye refused;
I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;
25 but ye have set at nought all my counsel,
and would none of my reproof:
26 I also will laugh at your calamity;
I will mock when your fear cometh;
27 when your fear cometh as desolation,
and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind;
when distress and anguish cometh upon you.
28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer;
they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
29 for that they hated knowledge,
and did not choose the fear of the Lord:
30 they would none of my counsel:
they despised all my reproof.
31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way,
and be filled with their own devices.

and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
33 But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely,
and shall be quiet from fear of evil.

Giving ??
1 Timothy 6:17-19) 17 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; 18 that they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, ...willing to communicate; 19 laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.
Proverbs 21:13 Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.
Proverbs 22:9 He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed;for he giveth of his bread to the poor.
Proverbs 28:27 He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.
Matthew 22:37-40) 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Mat. 25:34 "Then I, the King, shall say to those at my right, 'Come, blessed of my Father, into the Kingdom prepared for you from the founding of the world. Mat. 25:35 For I was hungry and you fed me; I was thirsty and you gave me water; I was a stranger and you invited me into your homes; Mat. 25:36 naked and you clothed me; sick and in prison, and you visited me.' Mat. 25:37 "Then these righteous ones will reply, 'Sir, when did we ever see you hungry and feed you? Or thirsty and give you anything to drink? Mat. 25:38 Or a stranger, and help you? Or naked, and clothe you? Mat. 25:39 When did we ever see you sick or in prison, and visit you?' Mat. 25:40 "And I, the King, will tell them, 'When you did it to these my brothers you were doing it to me!' Mat. 25:41 Then I will turn to those on my left and say, 'Away with you, you cursed ones, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his demons. Mat. 25:42 For I was hungry and you wouldn't feed me; thirsty, and you wouldn't give me anything to drink; Mat 25:43 a stranger, and you refused me hospitality; naked, and you wouldn't clothe me; sick, and in prison, and you didn't visit me.' Mat. 25:44 "Then they will reply, 'Lord, when did we ever see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and not help you?' Mat 25:45 "And I will answer, 'When you refused to help the least of these my brothers, you were refusing help to me.'

Breaking News a Nationwide state of emergency has been issued until further notice
Breaking News a Nationwide state of emergency has been issued until further notice. sinners on deathrow, paying its wages aint no telling what the death tole is gonna be. this Nationwide state of emergency remains in effect until the people repent and turn to God. innocent blood is shed daily babies being aborted Homosexuality murders and violence drug overdoses suicide's , idolatry, adultery etc..... the list is long. the church has been paralyzed by religious men who refuse to Go the great commission forsaken for their own vision's entertainment etc.. take heed to the word of God, Jesus said except you repent you shall perish. the Jesus in the Bible loves us enough to confront sin and call people to repentance. the Jesus in the Bible said go and sin no more lest a worst thing come upon you. wake up keep sleeping and refusing to repent and a worst thing will come upon the people through out the Nations. wrath and Judgement will not always be held back, when the cup of iniquity is full then the cup of wrath is poured out. many are praying for America to be saved, pray for the people stop trying to save the American dream, the American dream is dead and all earthly treasure will turn to rust and dust, therefore store up for yourselves Treasures in Heaven. Repent and Believe the Gospel. now to address those who willfully continue in sin and the compromising church who continue to encourage it with their big Grace love hugs. to him who knows to do right and does it not it is sin. fleshly weakness is you being tempted and enticed it becomes willful sin when we give into to it and commit sin against God. because God is loving Gracious and merciful He allows a space to repent. repentance results in separation from sin. sin continued results in separation from God. and as it is written in the Living unchangeable word of God, the wrath of God abides on the children of disobedience. when we confess repent and forsake sin we find Justification we are then made righteous in the sight of God we are instructed pursue Holiness > sanctification. sanctification is justifications work manifesting from inward to outward of what has been done inside when we were justified and made righteous in His sight. so basically the Justification that was done inside making us righteous in the Sight of God will be outwardly expressed when one is pursuing sanctification > Holiness. only through Christ by His spirit can we walk in Holiness. His Grace empowers us .
Set apart seeking
Set apart seeking the very heart of My Father in Heaven, when He speaks, when I hear, when I take heed I see and my path becomes clear. no fear of what man can do, because I know that carrying a cross means I'm gonna walk through some valley's even the valley of the shadow of death, persecution and suffering, Thats the cross I'm willing to carry, because that's the cost I've counted to follow. And I know that if the cross that I carry doesn't bring me to some valley's persecution and opposition, then the cross I carry is no cross at all. Because ya see scripture is clear, you can't carry a cross without suffering. There may be some good days some hard days, but scripture is clear we must through much tribulation enter into the Kingdom of God. there will be trials tests , there will be times we endure the chastening of the Lord because He loves us enough to correct us, there will be times that we are thrown into the refiners fire because God loves us enough to cleanse purify refine and perfect us to stand without spot without blemish, and empower us by His Holy spirit to walk as He walked with a pure heart loving as He loved forgiving as He forgives extending mercy and compassion as He did to us, preaching as He preached. the end result of coming out of the refiners fire we come out clothed with humility a branch connected to the Vine bearing fruit, humbly walking with our God. Labouring together with Him serving as He served. spending more time set apart in prayer seeking the Father's will, even praying for our enemies, His love is perfected in the hearts of those who keep His word . when we carry a cross and embrace the whole cross we will have enemies just as christ had enemies, Jesus told us if we truly follow Him we will be hated by the world, even religious men such as pharisees and hypocrites will hate us, some of our greatest and most intense opposition and persecution will come from religious men. no servant is greater than his Master, we can expect to be treated with hate because they hated Jesus first, we can expect betrayal we can expect to be falsely accused and we can expect the possibility of even being martyred. we can expect Gods Grace being sufficent and His strength perfected in weakness. His Grace is enough to empower us to keep pressing toward the mark for the prize of the High calling of God in Christ Jesus. He has sealed us with His spirit and empowered us by His Holy spirit to be His witness. those who endure until the end shall be saved. let no man deceive you let no man take your crown.
neglected testimonies neglect to give God Glory do unto His Holy Name,
Reading in psalms this morning I was thinking about testimony . David's life was a Living Testimony . He testified about what the Lord did for him. why don't we use our testimonies more not just where we were in life before we got saved, but the trials we have been through that the Lord delivered us out of . those neglected testimonies could bring hope to our brethren who is going through a simila...r trial . those neglected testimonies neglect to give God Glory do unto His Holy Name, because so many times we neglect to testify about it. Truth is when we follow Christ and Take up our cross we will face suffering trials sometimes discouragement many hardships but the Lord is with us to deliver us . many are the afflictions of the righteous but the Lord delivers him from them all. sometimes by neglecting to testify of what we have gone through and endured, we appear as if we have it all together, we don't we are constantly going through things being testes taught and corrected. we have been delivered , and we endure times like David when we find ourselves in need for mercy and in need to be delivered again. we face times when we cry out deliver me from my enemies whatever the case may be. let our lives be a living testimony of what the power of God can do. we all saved or unsaved have a great need of Gods mercy, let us not be ashamed to testify of what God has delivered us out of.
don't run from conviction surrender and submit to Gods Authority.
when we think we have it all figured out God shows us that we don't, when we think we have arrived the Lord allows us to be broken down to submission and brings us to a place teaching us child like faith total trust and dependence in Him. when we think we are walking in righteousness and living Holy , the Lord reveals a area of the heart we have either ignored or not seen, because He loves us and ...has drawn us with lovingkindness. He loves us enough to correct us cleans us purge us and purify us. sometimes because He loves us He allows us to go through the refiners fire. the Lord chastens those whom He loves. Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby. keep seeking keep studying keep praying keep yourselves in the Love of God, His mercy endures forever. the Lord is cleaning up those who are His keep your eyes on Jesus, He is the Author and finisher of our faith. the Lord may be confronting areas in our lives that pastors refuse to confront. don't run from conviction surrender and submit to Gods Authority.

condition of the church
By now you ought to be teachers. why are you still warming a pew? many are called few are chosen sunday funday has you frozen luke warm hot then cold a lot ups and downs, pulpit full of clowns stand up sit down throw your money in the basket, religion stinks like a room full of caskets dead mens bones, the Lord raises up a prophet in comes the modern day Ezekiel speaking to dry bones, time reads t...he days of noah many reject the message, but there is 5 wise and 5 foolish , 5 wise with the real oil, 5 foolish going through motions with counterfeit oil. as in the days of Elijah there are more false prophets than true. prophets of Baal seduce strange fire and idol worship, pagan altars unholy soak sessions, moab in the church is being exposed. religious men fight the Truth, who's teaching the youth, some youth pastors make good actors entertaining the children. don't get me wrong there are few good pastors and few real churches. they focus on the commission and Go, while the majority sit the sidelines looking at the competitor down the road wider and wider it gets new evangelism stealing sheep. a confused interpretation of Grace is why the church sleeps, and now they wanna coexist, shaking their fist at God, rod of love rod of wrath, the church isn't ready for that. Jesus is coming in flaming fire taking vengeance on them who don't know Him. Matthew 7 depart I never knew you is for the Lawless. well done is for the faithful who's names are written in the Lambs Book of Life. I pray we be counted worthy and we humble ourselves and repent tonight because none of us are flawless let our cry be create in me a clean heart O God and renew a right spirit with in me. pursue Holiness because without none shall see the Lord. Blessed are the pure in heart they shall see God. let us understand and not confuse Justification for sanctification. let us press toward the mark for the prize of the High calling of God in Christ Jesus, and continue to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling pursuing sanctification >Holiness.

receive not the Grace of God in vain.
2 Corinthians 6:1 We then, as workers together with Him, beseech you also that ye receive not the Grace of God in vain.
Hebrews 12:14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord
Hebrews 12:15 looking diligently lest any man fail of the Grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled.
Psalms 34:14 Depart from evil, and do good;seek peace, and pursue it.
2 Timothy 2:22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
Matthew 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
2 Corinthians 7:1 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
Ephesians 5:6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
Under The Law to be considered an adulterer you had to sleep with someones wife.
Under Grace Jesus said if you look upon a woman to lust you have committed adultery with her in your heart. Grace seems to have a higher standard. why because Grace empowers us to do what Truth demands of us. under the Law you had to actually kill to be a murderer, Under Grace if you slander your a murderer. confused Grace is why '' Christians '' continue in sin . Grace covers yes . Grace covers when you confess repent and forsake sin. if you believe the power of Grace to cover why cant you believe in the power of Grace to deliver and empower you to overcome ? the problem I see is Christians are still seeking justification because a continuous sinful life style. Christians ought to be pursuing sanctification. without holiness none shall see the Lord. sanctification is a process that should have progress. many don't understand what under Grace means . many don't realize Grace empowers us by the Spirit of the Lord to obey to endure to persevere and overcome and carry a cross.
we are instructed to follow >> pursue Holiness >> sanctification
sanctification is a process and there should be progress >> growth
many today continue seeking Justification instead of sanctification. why ? because many continue in sin and seek to justify the lusts of the flesh their enjoyment in living a sinful lifestyle.
there should be evidence of Grace at work in our lives. Grace empowers us to walk as Christ walked.
2 Corinthians 5:15 and that He died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto Him which died for them, and rose again.
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
2 CORINTHIANS 13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
John 15:4 Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in Me.
John 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in Me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without Me ye can do nothing.
Romans 8:5-14) 5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. 6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His. 10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 But if the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, He that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by His Spirit that dwelleth in you. 12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. 13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
1 John 2:3-6 ) 3 And hereby we do know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments.
4 He that saith, I know Him, and keepeth not His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5 But whoso keepeth His word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in Him. 6 He that saith he abideth in Him ought himself also so to walk, even as He walked.
1John 2:28-29) 28 And now, little children, abide in Him; that, when He shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before Him at His coming. 29 If ye know that He is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of Him.
1 John 3:7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as He is righteous
1 John 5:2-5) 2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep His commandments. 3 For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments: and His commandments are not grievous. 4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. 5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
Ephesians 2:8-10) For by Grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God. 9 not of works, lest any man should boast. 10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
James 2:17-26) 17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. 18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. 19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. 20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? 22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? 23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. 24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. 25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way? 26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
Hebrews 12:14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord
Hebrews 12:15 looking diligently lest any man fail of the Grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled.
Psalms 34:14 Depart from evil, and do good;seek peace, and pursue it.
2 Timothy 2:22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
Matthew 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
2 Corinthians 7:1 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
Ephesians 5:6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
Under The Law to be considered an adulterer you had to sleep with someones wife.
Under Grace Jesus said if you look upon a woman to lust you have committed adultery with her in your heart. Grace seems to have a higher standard. why because Grace empowers us to do what Truth demands of us. under the Law you had to actually kill to be a murderer, Under Grace if you slander your a murderer. confused Grace is why '' Christians '' continue in sin . Grace covers yes . Grace covers when you confess repent and forsake sin. if you believe the power of Grace to cover why cant you believe in the power of Grace to deliver and empower you to overcome ? the problem I see is Christians are still seeking justification because a continuous sinful life style. Christians ought to be pursuing sanctification. without holiness none shall see the Lord. sanctification is a process that should have progress. many don't understand what under Grace means . many don't realize Grace empowers us by the Spirit of the Lord to obey to endure to persevere and overcome and carry a cross.

this is serious
It's gonna take the message of the Cross starting with the Gloom and doom part of the message.the judgement and wrath and hatred toward sin to shake the church out of complacency and their lukewarm state. its time to give the church back to God and call people to repent beginning with pastors
Jesus Loves you God has a plan for you come back next sunday, sign up for a membership here's a list of our church activities thats the Gospel the church preaches. love love blessing and funday. they took the message of the cross and took away from its power watering the word down. they package the message to appeal to your liking to keep you coming back to church. get out of those churches that ...don't preach the full counsel of God. many in the church are lost and walking a wide road straight towards hell . do you know the severity of the penalty for sin ? do you know that the wrath of God abides on the children of disobedience? do you know that real repentance results in separation from sin do you know that sin separates you from God ? don't take this lightly its serious I speak with urgency to you. you cannot play games with God.choose this day whom you will serve it is not a joke take a look around you take a look around the world do you see whats coming ? I speak the Truth and tell you many are called few are chosen God wills not that any should perish but that all would come to repentance. the problem is many choose the wide road which leads to destruction. I urge you call upon the Lord believe in Him you might say you believe . well do you trust Him does your lifestyle follow what you claim to believe ?
You can have everything that the world has to offer living for the pleasure of sin and continue in darkness. or you can repent and turn from your wicked ways come to Christ and have life and lay up in store for yourselves treasure in Heaven. today is the day of salvation, He said today for a reason tomorrow isn't promised and life is like a vapor. where ever your at you don't know if your gonna ma...ke it home from the store tonight or the bar where ever your at while reading this, consider this Jesus is calling you to come to Him repent and surrender your life. you might be reading this just as your getting ready to get high or drink & drive don't do it stop now and call upon Jesus. its decision time will you surrender your life and follow Jesus? your situation may seem impossible to overcome, with man it is but with God all things are possible nothing is too hard for Him. Jesus laid His life down for us, they didn't take it He laid His life down to be took for us. there is power in the Blood of Jesus there is great Authority in His Name every knee will bow every tongue confess Jesus Christ is Lord. so decide what do you want , do you want to chase a high that is destroying you or chase money & riches that cannot save you ? what you have been searching for has been right there all this time His Name is Jesus, you will never fill the empty void that you have with drugs money or sex or material things. there is only one way to life Jesus Christ is the way the truth and the Life. you cannot keep living the way that you always have. you may seem like a good person and think you will go to Heaven for being good. be not deceived you must be born again. there is a way that seems right unto man but the end thereof is destruction. the wages of sin is death. repent and believe the Gospel.
how much thought have you given to how much God hates sin?
'' Christians '' how much thought have you given to how much God hates sin? now look at the cross it pleased God to crush His Son, His beloved Son Jesus who lived a perfect obedient life, His sinless Son it pleased God to crush Him in pouring out His wrath and Judgement again Sin, on His sinless Son who stood in the gap and bore the wrath for us . Christ was beaten beyond recognition a punishment ...we rightfully deserve Jesus bore for us. that we might come to Him and live and have Eternal Life. looking at the Law of God His commandments and standards of Holiness, our flesh is sinful wretched and in our own power & strength it is impossible to keep. the Law of sin and death wow back to the cross now Jesus tasted death for us . His Grace is sufficient our God is mighty to save yes God is love . Ive gotta tell ya though Grace isn't your license to continue sinning. Grace isn't there to be abused. if you have the mindset that's its ok to commit sin because Jesus died for you and He is just gonna forgive you anyway then you have a bad mindset. it pleased God to crush His beloved Son. there is a huge difference between falling short and willfully practicing a sinful lifestyle. Im not here to condemn anyone Just to speak the Truth. and the Truth is if your willfully living in sin you are lost and condemned already. Jesus said you must be born again and if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. example I used to smoke pot and drink those old behaviours have passed away. I used to be violent and angry those old behaviours have passed away. I used to listen to 2pac and other secular music, those old ways have passed away. another example paul persecuted the church those old ways passed away and he went forth preaching the Gospel. a person who claims to be saved and claims to be a born again Christian and still lives the same way they always have that person is no Christian at all and has not been converted. the hard truth is it make you a hypocrite claiming to be Christian and continuing to live the same way you always have. going to church don't make you a Christian and it doesn't mean your saved or in right standing with God. you may want to consider humbling yourself and repenting, and truly whole heartedly come to Christ. surrendering all to Him.

jealousy
Jealousy is like a wolf off in the distance but not far away preying on the one its waiting to devour. a wolf's nature is to devour and destroy. be on guard always and never open the door to jealousy and stand boldly and rebuke those wolves in sheeps clothing . if your seeking and abiding in the Lord He will reveal to you who they are. don't be surprised if the Lord shows you that the jealous wolf is as close to you as Judas was to Jesus. put on the whole armour of God always and never ever let your guard down
God sent His Son
Although we cannot pay for our sins, Jesus' shed blood is more than enough! Jesus truly did stand in the gap for us when He went to the cross. In the Old Testament (before Jesus came), they would sacrifice animals to cover their sins, but now that Jesus paid the price we no longer need to preform sacrifices. In the Old Testament, we could only cover our sins with the blood of animals, but the bloo...d of Jesus actually removes our sin... it erases it from our account all together!
Hebrews 10:4, "For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins."
John 1:29, "The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world."
The blood of Christ actually takes sin away, so much so, that God Himself chose not to remember our failures!
Hebrews 10:17, "And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more."
The blood of Christ was shed for our sins, and through faith in the work which was done for us, we can be freely justified... that is, made right with God:
Romans 3:24-26, "Being justified (Greek word dikaioo) freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus."
Notice that the word justified in the above verse takes us back to the Greek word dikaioo, which means, "to render (that is, show or regard as) just or innocent." That means that you are made innocent... as if you've never sinned! That's how clean that you can be through faith in the work that Jesus did for us on the cross.
believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is the son of God, who came to earth (living in a human body), was crucified and died for your sins, and then rose again on the 3rd day.
John 3:16-17, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved."
Acts 16:30-31, "And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house."
confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus Christ (affirm your belief verbally).
Romans 10:9, "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."
MARK 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
ACTS 17:30-31) 30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent.
31 Because He hath appointed a day, in the which He will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom He hath ordained; whereof He hath given assurance unto all men, in that He hath raised Him from the dead.
ACTS 2:37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
ACTS 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
ACTS 2:39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
ACTS 2:40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.
ACTS 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.
LUKE 9:23-25) 23 And He said to them all, If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me. 24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for My sake, the same shall save it. 25 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?
2 CORINTHIANS 5:15 And that He died for all that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves. but unto Him which died for them and rose again.
ROMANS 6:10-11) 10 For in that He died unto sin: but in that He lives, He lives unto God. 11 Likewise reckon you also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
TITUS 2:11-14) 11 For the Grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men
12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and Godly, in this present world
13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the Glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ
14 Who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto Himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
ROMANS 12:1-2
1 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.
COLOSSIANS 3:1-2) 1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
2 CORINTHIANS 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
LUKE 6:43-45) 43 For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
44 For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.
45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.
Hebrews 10:4, "For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins."
John 1:29, "The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world."

Return to the preaching of the Gospel. unto us who are saved it is the power of God. be not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone who believes. this Gospel message sets captives free. many in the church and many in the world live unaware of the Gospel of Christ. Jesus came to seek and save the Lost. soon He is coming back to gather His people. the wheat... gets gathered into His barn, the tares are gathered to be burned. weeping and gnashing of teeth. do you love thy neighbor enough to tell them about the Gospel ? as Leonard Ravenhill said we need a mighty avalanche of conviction of sin. we compare ourselves with other Christians because in doing so we feel justified we feel better about us, it makes us look like a better Christian in our own eyes when we pick through the crowd of hypocrites and talk about their walk. lets be honest look in the mirror and talk about our walk, Repent and then follow the way Christ walked. and lets not forget Christ came to adopt sinners
It's not enough to just hear sermons, we all need a relationship with the Lord. a daily abiding relationship. fellowship with other believers is good, but we all need some set apart alone time with the Lord , to sit at His feet listen to His voice and hear a word from His mouth.
You cannot walk with God if your not seeking Him. relationship matters without relationship you wont grow spiritually. without listening how can you hear ? without reading His word how can your faith be fed ? your faith is starving motions got you spinning out of control trying to look christian. just be real with yourself and with God He already knows, there is nothing hidden from Him. the way is narrow don't take any detours the view make look pleasurable to the flesh but the end result is spiritual destruction. Turn to Jesus , Trust Him, we can do nothing without Him.
A people in denial but not of self, How Long will four walls keep the Gospel hid from them who are Lost ? Father God the passion of Your Heart that sent Jesus to lay down His life and take up the cross, let that same passion conform our hearts to do Your will, and lay down our lives taking up our cross, reaching for the Lost. the more I seek You Lord the more I find You, the more I grow the more I realize it's not about a building, we are Your Building your church are Body Your Temple.

There will be a day when we stand before God, and many who thought themselves to be followers will be identified as nothing more that just fans and counterfeits.

Colossians 1:20-23
20 And, having made peace through the Blood of His cross, by Him to reconcile all things unto Himself; by Him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in Heaven.
21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath He reconciled
22 In the body of His flesh through death, to present you Holy and unblameable and unreproveable in His sight:
23 If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the Gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under Heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister.
John 10:1-5) 1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear His voice: and He calleth His own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.

we see signs of the Lord's soon return
Spiritually awake and alert watching for the Lord's coming .we see signs of the Lord's soon return . calamities devastations earthquakes rumours of wars. we see much deception rising at a rapid pace false teachers . Christian across the world are being persecuted and killed.
we see evil men and seducers waxing worse and worse deceiving and being deceived. the love of many have waxed cold because of lawlessness . make no mistake the days are evil we are seeing the days of Noah. warning after warning has gone out and many fail to heed the message.
we have seen a increase of mockers and scoffers. we see a great falling away people departing from the faith giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils. we have seen true Christianity drift into such compromise and filth and turn to a prosperity gospel . why ? we are living in perilous times men have become lovers of self, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parent, unthankful and unholy, without natural affections , trucebreakers, false accusers , incontinent, fierce. despisers of those who are good, traitors , heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God. having a form of Godliness but denying the power thereof.
The preaching of the cross has become foolishness to the church because the world has crept in.
Because when they knew God they glorified Him not as God neither were thankful but became vain in their imaginations and their foolish heart was darkened. And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God, into an image made like to corruptible man and to birds and four footed beasts and creeping things.
Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts to dishonor their bodies between themselves. Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature. And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient.
Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers. Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents. Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful. Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
should we be surprised ? no for it is written in the Living word of God that in the endtimes these things will happen.
Today many are being moved by feeling and emotion and by what is seen . we are instructed in the word of God to walk by faith not by sight. another edifying instruction given to us is this >> No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. keep oil in your lamp. take watch and pray ( spiritually watch) be sober and vigilant.
We see the signs coming to pass and things being fulfilled because we know what scripture says. many have lost balance, they no longer spread the Gospel. many today have been moved away from the Gospel and seek signs video after video, and spend much time seeking and searching for the next video or article that shows Bible prophecy being fulfilled. is there anything wrong with the amount of time put into searching videos and articles ? maybe . why maybe ? if you have lost balance and your devotion is more devoted to those things then your balance is off.
what has your attention ? whatever has your attention has you . what have you yoked yourself with. do you have an abiding relationship with God and His word or are you spending more time in relationship with videos and articles?
The Gospel is what saves sets free and delivers people. we can go all day sharing videos and articles and some may get scared into seeking God.
Balance is necessary in our relationship and walk with the Lord. when all we sow and preach to others is videos and articles the same topic all the time. it shows that person is off balance and lacking in commitment and devotion to God and His word and the commission He has commissioned us with to preach the Gospel , repentance and remission of sins.
The world is well aware that somethings is wrong the world is well aware the things are quickly changing . the majority of the world is living unaware of the Gospel . and the majority are on there way to hell.
I agree we ought to preach prophecy being fulfilled but in doing so we ought to provide a Biblical foundation of undeniable Truths.
So are we spiritually awake and alert and watching for the Lord's return ? and warning people and preaching the Gospel that heals the broken hearted and sets the captives free ? It's time to preach the Gospel.
does your Christian witness sound like and look like the world news ? a religious sect or denomination ? or the Good news the Gospel of Jesus Christ. many have strayed so far away from the Great commission that the preaching of the cross has become foolishness to the church. time to repent and seek the heart of our Father in Heaven.

Have you spiritually lost your way
Have you spiritually lost your way and wandered away from home ? like the prodical son when he came to himself realizing he perish with hunger , come to your self today what is it that your trying to satisfy ? what is it that has you broken hurting and in pain ? the ways of the world have left you empty . like the prodical son come to yourself arise and go to your Father with a repentant heart confessing you have sinned against Him. read the story Luke 15:11-32. the prodical son arose to go to his Father with a repentant heart confessing his sin . he said Im no more worthy to be called your son and a great way off his Father saw him and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him. and clothed him. the Father said my son was dead and is alive he was lost and is found. spiritually the prodical son was dead spiritually he was lost. they rejoiced. more joy shall be in Heaven over one sinner who repents. more joy than over the 99 just persons. now for us who are in Christ do we have that loving passion in our hearts for the lost ? if not then we are lost. Jesus came to seek and save the lost. we need a renewed passion in our heart a renewed focus a renewed vision the Great commission

keep praying keep seeking. trials we encounter and many obstacles can at times be overwhelming.
sometimes in life you may feel like your in a canoe rowing upstream against the current, don't stop rowing now, keep praying keep seeking. trials we encounter and many obstacles can at times be overwhelming. we might fall down we don't have to stay down. the devil is a liar, the devil is a deceiver. when the devil tries to form a web of lies in your mind, quickly get out of that mindset and stand ...on the word of God. pour out your heart in prayer. what your going through might feel like your on a river in a canoe rowing upstream against the current you cant stop rowing or else the current will push ya back dragging you down stream. hang on my friend keep fighting the good fight keep pressing toward the mark for the prize of the High calling of God in Christ Jesus. the devil loves to throw doubt at us and opposition. the devil know if he can keep you from seeking then he can keep you from finding. when we seek God and earnestly pray we plug into the power source of life the Light of the world Jesus Christ. when we seek we find truth and the truth shall set you free. so the devil constantly fights us to hinder us from seeking.
Don't let your sin keep you separated from God.
Don't let your sin keep you separated from God. when we fall short and sin against God, the devil is right there waiting to devour you with feelings of failure the devil wants to torment you to the point where he can get you to run from God, his mission is to deceive you into believing that you blew it this time and God wont take you back. the devil is a liar. God says if we confess our sins HE is... faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. The Blood of Jesus will never lose its power. so confess and repent and start praising God singing what can wash away my sin nothing but the Blood of Jesus, what can heal us and make us whole again nothing but the Blood of JESUS. Glory to God . praise will confuse the enemy. the devil is a liar the devil is defeated. he may have tried to lie to you and try to convince you that you will never overcome sin but thats a lie from the pit of hell. you can overcome through Christ, nothing is to hard for God with Him all things are possible. we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us . Glory Glory praise the One True King Jesus .thank Him for the way thank Him for the Truth thank Him for the life He is the way the Truth and the Life.

Preach the Gospel and teach obedience.
Matthew 28:18-20) 18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto Me in Heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Mark 16:15 And He said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the Gospel to every creature.
Luke 9:60 Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.
John 21:15-17) 15 So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou Me more than these? He saith unto Him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love Thee. He saith unto him, Feed My lambs. 16 He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou Me? He saith unto Him, Yea, Lord; Thou knowest that I love Thee. He saith unto him, Feed My sheep. 17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou Me? Peter was grieved because He said unto him the third time, Lovest thou Me? And he said unto Him, Lord, Thou knowest all things; Thou knowest that I love Thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed My sheep.
Don't sell things in God's house.
Mark 11:15-17) 15 And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves. 16 And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple. 17 And He taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.
John 2:16 And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not My Father's house an house of merchandise.
Repent of your sins.
Mark 1:15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the Gospel.
Luke 13:3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
Luke 15:7 I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in Heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.
Luke 15:10 Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
Believe in Jesus
Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
Luke 9:35 And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is My Beloved Son: hear Him.
John 6:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on Him whom He hath sent.

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.
John 20:29 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen Me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.
Have child like faith.
Mark 10:15 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.
Matthew 9:29 Then touched He their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.
Matthew 18:1-5) 1 At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of Heaven? 2 And Jesus called a little child unto Him, and set him in the midst of them
3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of Heaven. 4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of Heaven. 5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in My Name receiveth Me.
You must be born again.
John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
John 3:5-8) 5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
Live in Me and live in My love.
John 8:31-32) 31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on Him, If ye continue in My Word, then are ye My disciples indeed. 32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
John 15:4 Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in Me.
John 15:9-13) 9 As the Father hath loved Me, so have I loved you: continue ye in My love.
10 If ye keep My commandments, ye shall abide in My love; even as I have kept My Father's commandments, and abide in His love. 11 These things have I spoken unto you, that My joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. 12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. 13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
Humble yourself & take the lowest position
Luke 14:8-11) 8 When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him. 9 And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room.
10 But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee. 11 For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
Luke 18:13-14) 13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. 14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

Matthew 20:25-28) 25 But Jesus called them unto Him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them.

27 And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant
28 Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give His life a ransom for many.
John 13:14-16) 14 If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet. 15 For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.

Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.
