This is the invitation extended to us as followers of Jesus.
Luke 9:23 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.
Deny means - deny oneself, to disown, renounce self, disregard All personal interests and enjoyments.
cross means - to bear ones cross meaning to undergo suffering and trial, to expose oneself to reproach and death. ...
This is our invitation from Jesus Himself the words written in Red, Luke 9:23 says and He Said to them ALL. this is what following looks like.
Denying self and taking up our cross means something has to be crucified.
our flesh disowning and disreguarding turning away from personal interests & enjoyments.
selfish desires, selfish pursuits, Losing the lifestyle we once knew.
Losing all that defines the old man. denying self will cost us everything we lose our right
to live as we choose. popularity, letting go of earthly possessions and focusing on treasures in Heaven
Taking up our cross - the cross was a symbol of suffering, humility, death and sacrifice
we cannot carry a cross without suffering.
Philippians 1:29 For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on Him, but also to suffer for His sake
Is given - means - To give or bestow a thing willingly
To believe - means - To have faith in , commit to trust, to entrust one's spiritual well being .
To suffer - means - to experience , undergo an experience, to experience a sensation or impression ( usually painful)
2 Timothy 3:12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution
Luke 14:27 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after Me, cannot be My disciple.
Count the cost.
Luke 14:28-31) 28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it? 29 Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him. 30 Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish. 31 Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?
count the cost to Follow Jesus
the cost - self denial, taking up our cross , forsaking all to follow, knowing what we are taking up when we take up our cross
living a denied life and taking up our cross
we can expect suffering, we can expect to be hated, despised, persecuted we can expect opposition
we can expect people to say all manner of evil against us falsely for the Name sake of the Lord.
if we have studied to show ourselves approved and counted the cost we will know what to expect and always be on guard and when trouble comes it wont come as a suprise or shock to our faith because we have counted the cost to follow we have studied to show ourselves approved we are prepared to be on guard and know what to expect.
The only True beauty comes from a life fully surrendered to Jesus Christ. where ourselves have died and gotten out of the way and Christ can be seen in us and through us.
As it was said In John 3:30 He must increase and I must decrease. when we get in the way and we are pursuing the things our flesh wants to pursue His beauty is not seen in us or through us.
the essence of the Gospel is becoming a living sacrifice for our King, following in His steps walking as He walked. and when we commit ourselves in pursuit of pleasing Him, nothing that we have is our own anymore.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20) 19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.
our time becomes His , our resources become His our money etc.. our plans change its not about us its all about Him. that He may be Glorified. daily we have a choice to deny ourselves our pursuits and plans and take up our cross and follow Jesus, His plans His will. often His will and His plans will stretch us and take us out of our comfort zone.

God allowed Joseph to go through it, Job went through it, Daniel went through it, shadrach, messhach and abendego to go through it. God allowed His Son Jesus to go through it. Peter was sifted , Paul went through it, Stephen.. There is just some things we are going to have to endure all of which have purpose. And we know the servant is not greater than our Lord , He was hated we will be hated . All of the best life now peace peace smooth sailing preaching will lead you astray. Prosperity Gospel preaching is false.. The disciples sold all they had and distributed to every man as they had need. It's in Acts.. Jesus said take up our cross deny ourselves and follow Him daily.
Suffering produces perseverance , and perseverance character, and character hope, and hope doesn't disappoint. The testing of faith develops perseverance trials are the crucible in which our character is purified, and results in Godly confidence , trials definitely break confidence in our flesh. A faith more precious than gold comes forth.

Understanding 1 peter 5:8
1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
sober- means Keep your appetites and passions under proper restraint it and refers to a sound mind . Sound mind means a saved mind or delivered mind .

vigilant - Watchful against the subtle and malicious designs of your spiritual enemies.
Awake, and keep awake; sleep no more; be this your care, while you cast your temporal and anxious cares on God.
Peter himself suffered for want of the wakeful vigilance which he here recommends
The name devil is taken from the Greek word (diabolos) . it is a compound of the words dia and balos . Dia means through and carries the idea of penetration.
The word balos is taken from the word ballo, which means I throw, as in throwing a ball or a rock. when the two words are compounded, the new word depicts the act of repeatedly throwing a ball or rock against something until it penetrates that barrier and breaks through to the other side.
his mode of operation is found in the meaning of his name which means that he is one who continually strikes and strikes and strikes again beating against the walls of people's minds over and over again - until he breaks through and penetrates their thought process .
The enemy of both God and man is called Satan which is taken from the Hebrew word (shatana) and means to hate and to accuse and also carries with it the idea of slander and false accusation.
Roaring lion- fierce and hungry, full of rage
Walketh about - Watching for an opportunity to insnare and destroy you
Seeking- With all subtlety
Whom he may - assault with the greatest likelihood of success,

With all Thy heart
Deuteronomy 4:29 But if from thence thou shalt seek the Lord thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek Him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.
Deuteronomy 6:5 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
When we seek the Lord with all of our heart all of our being our pursuits we find Him, we find His strength in our weakness, His joy in our sorrows , we find encouragement in the midst of our discouragements.
when we seek God with all of our hearts we find vision in our blindness, comfort in our restlessness. Jesus is the Way the Truth and the Life. the Spirit quickens ( makes alive) . the flesh profits nothing. it is impossible to please God in the flesh. to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritual minded is Life and peace.
Jesus said in the Book of Matthew 11:28-30) 28 Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

Let no one silence you
Let no one silence the voice of God in you. Let no one cause you to hide your gifts and talents. Let no one shut you up, it is a Jezzabelle spirit that seeks to silence and shut up the voice of God that speaks through the vessels that refuse to compromise and refuse to sugar coat or watered down the word of God. Let the high praises of God be in our mouth and a two- edge sword in our hands. Continue to go forth in the leading of the Holy Spirit and speaking with the boldness of the Holy Spirit in the Authority and Great and precious Name of Jesus Christ our Lord
Season of shaking
We must allow the Lord to shake us to the very core in this season of shaking. We must allow the Lord to reveal to us what needs removed from us and our lives, people things routines it's all for the purpose of preparation and drawing us nearer to the Lord. A deeper more authentic faith, walk and trust in the Lord. No flesh shall Glory in His presence. The just shall live by faith seeking first His kingdom and His righteousness. We shall be filled! It's impossible to please God without faith.
Loosen your grip & let God shake it out of you
Let God shake it out of you , it's not that He hasn't heard your prayer your cries for His help, you've just held on too tight to what you've asked Him to set you free from. Loosen your grip and really give it to Him. You're not alone many have been where you're at right now, let that wall come down that you put up to protect yourself. You fear being hurt but forget that fear brings a snare. Let the wall down and let all of God's love for you fill you and overflow you in Jesus Name encounter His love right where you're at be healed and made whole. Every wound shall be healed in Jesus Name give it all into His hands.
Serve and lead like Jesus
Jesus set the example for us what a servants heart and true leadership looks like. Jesus washed the feet of Judas knowing that Judas would betray Him. If we don't have that humility we need it before stepping into leadership. Leadership is to serve others not ourselves.
The servanthood of Jesus wasn't self serving, it was to do the will of His Father. And so we who have been risen with Christ ought to not be self serving but to be about our Father's will. And be examples of the leadership and servanthood of Jesus.
John 6:38 For I came down from heaven, not to do Mine own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.
Leadership begins with servanthood. Being selfless.
Mark 10:45 For even the Son of Man came not to be ministered unto, but minister, and give His life a ransom for many.
We are to Humble ourself & take the lowest position
Matthew 23:11-12) 11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. 12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble 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. 26 But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister 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. 16 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his Lord; neither he that is sent greater than
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.

Understand Grace is amazing
Understand Grace is so amazing that the Lord convicts our hearts of sin and through His goodness leads us to repentance. His word is righteous Holy Judgement that will judge sin here and now because He wills not that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. It is so very loving Gracious and merciful of the Lord to convict hearts of sin here and now with the righteous judgement of His word against sin so that when the final judgment comes when we all stand before Him we might here enter in Thy good and faithful servant, and not hear depart I never knew you, you that work iniquity. Understand this as well under law to be guilty of adultery you had to physically commit the act of adultery, and under Grace to be guilty of adultery all you have to do is look upon a woman with lust. Under the law to be guilty of murder you had to physically commit the act of murder under Grace slander and gossip or hate in the heart is viewed as murder. Grace holds the higher standard of living
Word of encouragement
There are times that God will let you endure what you're asking Him to stop or take away and it's not that He didn't hear or answer your prayer . The answer just comes in the form of the Lord giving you the strength to bear what seemed like you couldn't stand in and through. The way of escape provided is His sufficient Grace and Him providing sufficient strength for us to bear what we said we could no longer take. God is glorified , there is no other Name by which we should be saved. There is no sufficiency in our flesh . What is impossible with man is possible with God. We can do all things through Christ who strengthen us. We are more than conquerors through Christ who loves us. We are overcomers by the Blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony. God always gets the Glory.
Times we are living in. Watch and pray be sober be vigilant
We are living in some of the most greed filled times where people are lovers of self, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God. We live in the times the word of God said would come , evil days where good is called evil and evil is called good. God speaks to us through His word , through His people and through the signs of the times.
The things going on in the world God is even speaking through all of that. And He is saying knowing the time now is high time to awake out of sleep for now our salvation is nearer than when we believed. the night is far spent , the day is at hand cast off the works of darkness , put on the armour of Light, walk circumspectly not as fools but as wise redeeming the time because the days are evil, wherefore be ye not unwise but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
Take heed watch and pray , be sober and vigilant, these are days of times and laws changing, days where the enemy is trying to wear out the saints of God. Days of alarm of war these are days to sound the alarm set Thy trumpet to Thy mouth cry aloud and spare not. Pray without ceasing these are days of gross darkness , believe not every spirit but try them to see whether they be of God or not. Be a voice as John in the wilderness saying repent the kingdom of Heaven is at hand. Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance. Seek the Lord while He may be found.
We approach days that were prophesied that would come. Even days of a great out pouring of the spirit of the Lord upon all flesh, I'm afraid this final out pouring will come in the midst of some of the hardest times known to man kind. It is time for the church to rise up and walk in Jesus Name and go out and bid guests to the marriage. It is time we all get out of our comfort zones.
We are not here for us, their are many lost souls and it's time to get out and Go into all the world , the trenches, ghettos , projects , slums, we speak of the power of Christ do we really believe greater is He who is in us than he that is in the world? Jesus said we would be hated, persecuted and He said He would give us a mouth and wisdom which all of our adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.
Jesus told us what to expect in the days to come, why should we try and save our own lives from what Jesus said will happen? He said there will be famines , pestilences etc.. Jesus said some would deliver us up to synagogues and into prison, and brother will betray brother the father the Son, and children rising up against parents and cause them to be put to death Jesus said we would be hated for His Name's sake.
Have you counted this cost? Jesus was beaten beyond recognition bruised scorned head crowned with thorns His side pierced nails in His hands nails in His feet for us and we are not greater than our Lord we will be hated, and suffer for Him , He said to rejoice when we are persecuted for great is our reward in Heaven. Are we ready for real persecutions? Are we ready to truly live by faith and be totally dependent on the Lord for provision of our every need?
Riches will not save in the day of wrath. They will cast their gold and silver in the streets it cannot save. You can store up this world's goods but in the coming days and times thieves will seek to break in to steal from the earthly treasure houses. How will those who have never suffered and gone without make it ? We must have an authentic whole hearted trust in the Lord.
The things going on in the world God is even speaking through all of that.

When we really consider and look at the depth of God's love
When we consider and really look at the depth of God's love how He allowed His son Jesus to suffer at the hands of sinners to pay a debt for the sins of the world that we ourselves could never pay great love and mercy is shown to us. God was willing to go to such great depths for us just in sending Jesus for us and He didn't die in vain how much more greater depth and length us He willing to go to save and redeem us from our lost carnal sinful state that enslaved us. Whom the Son sets free is free indeed. He calls us to come to Him and confess our sins and repent of them Jesus seeks to save the lost . God never leaves nor forsakes us if we reject Him , He will allow us to go through whatever we shall go through until we come to the end of ourselves like the prodigal son in Luke 15. He gives us a new heart and places His spirit in us makes us new in Christ because we must be born again of water and spirit to enter the kingdom of Heaven. He empowers us by His spirit to live in newness of life that He has provided us by His spirit and His righteousness to grow in the grace given and helps us to grow in His likeness His image obeying Him by the empowering of His Holy Spirit.
Being built in the season you're in
You'll find that the season you thought was destroying you is actually building you spiritually . So much value in the storms and testing & trials we endure. The pain and affilictions , disappointments is like spiritual conditioning . In football they have what's called conditioning and it's meant to better prepare each player and the team for the season ahead. Stay planted in the Lord living and walking by faith. For without faith it is impossible to please God
God's wrath abides on the unbelieving
The once believing Christian who has stopped seeking God and is Carnally minded living in carnality loving and living in darkness is as the one who believes not on the Son and the wrath of God abides on them as much so as it does on the unbelieving who've never believed. A sinner that is seeking the Lord there abides much hope Grace and mercy. Keep turning away from the sins you love and keep turning to the Lord. The heart that is continuously rejecting Christ God's wrath abides on them.
Sin separates us from God. Like Adam and eve when they fell into sin their fellowship with God was broken. If we claim we have fellowship with God and walk in darkness the reality is we are separated living apart from God and need to repent. To walk in darkness is to continue in sin. To walk in Light is to have continuous fellowship with God.

why did God instruct us not to be unequally yoked together with unbelievers?
why did God instruct us not to be unequally yoked together with unbelievers?
A yoke is a wooden bar that joins two oxen to each other and to the burden they pull. An “unequally yoked” team has one stronger ox and one weaker, or one taller and one shorter. The weaker or shorter ox would walk slower than the taller, stronger one, causing the load to go around in circles.
When oxen are unequally yoked, they cannot perform the task set before them. Instead of working together, they are at odds with one another.
a yoke steers the oxen. the believer and the unbeliever are going in two different directions
God has called us to purity we should pursue purity in our relationships
it is important to recognize that God's goal for our relationships is much more than that they make us happy . God wants our relationships to be equally yoked God wants our relationships to help us become more Holy with that in mind we ought to regularly evaluate our relationships to honestly consider whether or not they are drawing us closer to God or further away from God.
we ought to ask God to give us the courage and wisdom to set boundaries in our relationships to protect ourselves from people who might tempt us to sin or draw us away from God. our relationships should be spiritually edifying building us up in the faith exhorting one another and admonishing one another.
the Key to pursuing purity in relationship to our self is to make sure that everyday we choose God's will over our own will. we need the humility and help from God to discern between our wants and our needs . we need to focus more on what God wants for us than what we want for ourselves.
purity means choosing to love God more than we love anything or anyone else, and expressing that love by whole heartedly devoting our life to God. it is important to pursue purity because the more pure we become the more we will grow into the person that God intends us to become.
it is important to ask ourselves what is the purpose of the relationships that we have with others. is it God's pleasure my pleasure or their pleasure ?
when we decide everyday to give all of our devotion ( not just part of it ) to God placing our relationships with God at the center of our life and revolving all other relationships around it doing so will help us avoid double - minded relationships that are partly focused on serving God but partly focused on serving ourselves or other people which are impure and unstable.
when the word of God is obeyed from the heart it will realign the focus of those who obey and in the realigning of focus we will begin to think of God's plans of purpose opposed to our preferences we will begin to think in term of responsibilities opposed to our rights and in turn think of long term affect as opposed to short term enjoyments .
we cannot afford spiritually to compromise being unequally yoked together with unbelievers conforming to the ways of the world fashioning ourselves alike giving the same form with improper living . for what fellowship has righteousness with unrighteousness and what communion has light with darkness ?
fellowship is participation . communion is the act of partaking sharing because of common interest . participation or social intercourse
John 8:12 12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
1 CORINTHIANS 5:9-13) 9 I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators.10 Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world. 11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolator, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
2 Corinthians 6:14-18) 14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. 18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
Ephesians 5:3-18) 3 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints. 4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks. 5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. 6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. 7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them. 8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light. 9 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) 10 Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
12 For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret. 13 But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
14 Wherefore He saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. 15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise. 16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. 17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. 18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit.
Romans 13:11-14) 11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. 12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. 13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. 14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof
1 Thessalonians 5:21-22) 21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. 22 Abstain from all appearance of evil.
ONLY THROUGH CHRIST
when we submit to the Righteousness of God by Faith, then we can stop trying to produce our own righteousness. No flesh shall Glory in His presence. no work of the flesh no self efforts. we will wear ourselves out trying to do things in our own strength. only through Christ can we overcome sin

A gospel that doesn't require repentance of sin is the gospel Satan's minister's preach
A gospel that doesn't require repentance of sin and promises the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them is Satan's gospel preached by Satan's minister's and it will leave you unchanged living under the constant dominion of sin producing unfruitful works of darkness. the Gospel of Jesus Christ requires repentance and faith in His Gospel will set you free whom the Son sets free is free indeed .

There is evidence in the lives of those who have been born again of water and spirit .
Bible study teaching

Proverbs 15:1 A soft answer turns away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.
Romans 13:9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Covet - to fix the desire on, to long for, to desire earnestly.
Shalt love - wish well, do good to , and love toward enemies choosing to show favour and good will.

Fulfill - substain character, a work or duty to perform
Bear one another's burdens when one hurts we all hurt. We talked about bearing up , picking up , carrying. Lifting UP encouraging.
Be able through the word of God His spirit and discernment being able to recognize when one is burdened or of a heavy spirit, down cast, and carry their burdens in prayer to the Lord on their behalf and being slow to speak quick to listen so we can effectively help those who are burdened. Examples if they say they are having trouble reading the word we are going to bring the word to their remembrance encourage them with the word and carry that to the Lord and fight for them in prayer. Because we know the enemy tries to choke the word out get us overwhelmed and our eyes off of Jesus who is the Author and finisher of our faith. Helping them to realign their focus. Etc..

Good - benefit, well, good conscience, integrity.
Conscience - be in right mind, soberly minded, be of a sound mind.

Encouragement for believers
The more you read the word of God the more familiar you'll become with His voice and less likely you'll be to listen to a stranger's voice.
You cannot truly know the Lord of you're not abiding in Him and His word. His word is a Lamp unto our feet and a Light unto our path. You cannot properly navigate with out it.
You cannot have a relationship with God through a pastor a church or other believers or through facebook or YouTube or Google play apps. Seek the Lord diligently with your whole heart seek ye out of the Book of the Lord. Jesus said come to Me that requires action a call to relationship Jesus said learn of Me that requires action and relationship.
Going to church and Listening to preachers and other believers is great if they are not compromising watering the word down and sugar coating it iron sharpens iron. We should always be teachable and always use wisdom and discernment test all things beloved believe not every spirit but try them whether they are of God, because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

Watch and pray. He who has an ear to hear let him hear what the Spirit says unto the churches
Jesus warns us in these last days to watch and pray . He warned His disciples the same when Jesus went to the garden to pray before He was betrayec. He came back found them sleeping.
Now is not the time for the bride of Christ to be sleeping . Jesus provided the signs of the end time. And in mark 13 five times Jesus says take heed. Verses 5, 9, 23, 33 take heed He says gives the idea of a state of watchfulness seasoned with prayer.
Jesus provided specific details on what to be watchful of.
In the parable of ten virgins speaks of 5 wise and 5 foolish. Keep in mind ten is a equal number equal opportunity to take oil into their lamps leaving no excuse for those without oil in their lamp because they slumbered and slept. Religious activity is useless without the Holy spirit .
When we yield to the Spirit walk in the Spirit and follow after the Spirit there is a constant flow available. Those who walk after the flesh outside of the flow of the Holy Spirit are willfully choosing to take no oil into their lamp.
Considering that no man knows the time day nor hour we ought to live for Eternity today as if Jesus would return today. Today is the day of salvation we are not promised tomorrow life is a vapor here today gone tomorrow. It would be wise to take oil into your lamp daily

The Gospel is what is going to shine light into darkness
the Gospel is what is going to shine Light into the dark , it is the Gospel that breaks chains and sets the captives free. there is no stain that cannot be washed by the precious Blood of Jesus. no stronghold no lie no root of bitterness is too tough for the Lord. No heart break that Jesus can't heal. No outcast He won't accept into adoption as sons and daughters, no suicidal spirit that He can't deliver you from, no occult spirit He can't rescue u out of, His Name is Authority above every other name. He humbles the pridedul, tears down the strongest of strongholds Jesus is King He has all power and authority. you give Him your heart every area of your life Come to Him in repentance and watch what He will do. where you thought you couldnt be made whole Jesus can make you whole. Jesus is the only one who can give wholeness to a broken life. you read how he gave sight to the blind made the lame to walk and healed the sick but let it be more than an awesome story of miracles let it be a reality for you.

Feeling like something is off ? Here is a word to bless you
If you feel like something is missing or you're just not where you once were with God , call upon Him and just ask for a fresh touch for the Holy spirit to bring conviction upon your heart of any unrepented sin . The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked. And sin hardens the heart . The bible says to him who knows to do right and does it not to him it is sin and that is one way the devil gains access on many Christians is the sin of not doing what we know is right. When that door is left open the enemy comes in like a flood trying to devour and swallow us up. We are instructed to not grieve the Holy spirit yet sometimes we do and we need to confess it to our Lord and repent of it. The Lord will anoint us with fresh oil if we ask . Also when the devil cannot get us any other way he tries often to get us to feel like we just don't measure up and He does that by getting us to take our focus off Jesus and look at how so and so is growing or how the Lord is using some one else. The enemy tries to get us to compete with brethren and tries to get jealousy or envy or bitterness to take root. Be sober and vigilant always. Take heed watch unto prayer we must keep our eyes on the Author and finisher of our faith and be confident in this very thing that He which has begun a good work in us will continue to perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. We must press toward the mark for the prize of the High calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Once saved always saved is a false teaching
Read the whole post . once saved always saved is a false teaching. And scripture says so . Those who endure until the end shall be saved. And work out their own salvation with fear and trembling. Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord. Not every one who says Lord Lord shall enter the kingdom of Heaven. For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness. Those who receive the Grace of God in vain deceive themselves. Matthew 25 speaks of 5 wise 5 foolish some slumbered and slept and the foolish say give us of your oil... verse 11 afterward they said Lord Lord open unto us verse 12 the Lord says verily I say unto you I know you not.. Matthew 22 says how did you think you would get in not having on a wedding garment. 2 Corinthians 13 says examine yourselves to see whether you be in the faith, prove your own selves know you not how Christ is in you except you be reprobates? Romans 1:18-25 is a good chapter look into. Revelation speaks of some leaving their first love. Also says let no man deceive you let no man take your crown. And speaks a lot on to Him who overcomes.
2 Thessalonians 2:3 speaks of a great falling away . And it is speaking of a " Christian once saved " a unbeliever cannot fall away from believing when they've not believed. This scripture alone blows the once saved always saved doctrine out as a false teaching

The word of God keep it heed it abide in it
The word of God is life and health to all our flesh . speak the word of God man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. Speak what the Lord says when He says and don't dodge scriptures that speak against sin don't compromise open rebuke is better than secret love. We are not called to scratch itching ears. It's a loving gracious and merciful thing to speak the full counsel of God. Don't miss His goodness and mercy by skipping over what His word says. Encouraging people in their sin can mislead them and thereby cause them to stumble in more sin and if you're doing that It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones. Should offend means to be led astray or to sin, fall away from truth.

Today is the day of salvation chose this day whom you'll serve
Today is the day of Salvation. Choose this day whom You will serve. You may think you have all kinds of time to choose but tomorrow isn't promised , everyone sets alarm clocks with plans to wake up tomorrow but not everyone wakes up. No one ever planned on leaving their home and planned to get in a accident, not one who was hit by a drunk driver ever planned to get hit and lose their life. Everyone plans and plans taking this precious gift called life for granted. Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. Behold He stands at the door of your heart and knocks , today if you hear His voice harden not your heart. You can receive the free gift of His salvation and be saved by His grace through faith will you turn away from your sin and turn to Jesus with your whole heart? Jesus was beaten beyond recognition bruised scorned head crowned with thorns nails in His hands nails in His feet pierced in His side shedding His Blood for you and I, paying a debt for sin that you and I could have never paid. There is nothing so bad that you've done that He will not forgive , Jesus died for all sin not some all , He paid it all with His precious blood and bought us with the price of His shed Blood. A ransom for sinners perfect atonement and He rose from the dead on the third day our Redeemer lives. He has gone to prepare a place for us and will soon return . He will judge the world in righteousness, His righteousness. He requires repentance that we turn from our sin and accept His free gift , He makes all things new old things pass away clothes us with garments of His righteousness, undefiled garments. He empowers us by His spirit to overcome His Name is power His grace is sufficient His strength perfected in our weakness, He is a quickening spirit and helps us to overcome sin. Don't receive His Grace in vain and think because you repeated a recited prayer that you're good to go. He sanctifies us purges us cleanses and let me tell you there is still power in the Blood of Jesus. He changes us from the inside out. His desires become our desires. It's by faith we access His saving Grace and it's by faith we receive justification it doesn't stop there we are called to an abiding relationship with Him called to abide in Him and His word. By His sanctifying work He makes us righteous, His righteousness. There will be evidence in our lives that we are His and He is ours. Many live like the world conformed to its coveteous sinful ways. Entertaining and Watching And doing The very things that Christ died for. Whom the Son sets free is free indeed. We may fall short and we are deeply grieved in spirit when we do because it grieves Him. but we do not habitually practice sin or habitually desire sin and it's unfruitful works. Come to Jesus my friend who will let Him work ?
John 16:7-13
John 16:7-13) 7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send Him unto you.
8 And when He is come, He will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;
10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
13 Howbeit when He, the Spirit of truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth: for HE shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever HE shall hear, that shall He speak: and He will shew you things to come.
Truth in verse 7 - as evidenced in relation to facts, verity, what is not concealed
It is Expedient - be useful, be profitable, benefit, answer the purpose, to bring together
Comforter - bestowing spiritual aid and consolation.
Will reprove - to convict, to show to be wrong, refute, prove one in the wrong, convince of error, tell a fault, rebuke.
Judgement - discern, judgement as through senses.
Will shew - foretell, to declare, show forth, teach.
Will guide - to show the way, lead.
Truth in verse 13 - divine truth, Gospel truth, derived from the true God, declaring the existence and will of the one true God, reveals divine truth as in opposition to false , idols, as opposed to heathen and Jewish fables.
Spirit - illuminating and empowering, remaining with, imparting spiritual knowledge, making intercession with and for , author of revelation to men, spiritual aid and consolation.
Hebrews 3:13
Hebrews 3:13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
The more you ignore conviction you'll grow to the point to where you won't even feel convicted by the Holy Spirit
if its not dealt with the sin will produce more fruit of sin. and that hinders us in our ability to hear God's voice. accuracy to see becomes blinded and understanding is then darknened as the heart is hardened your love will wax cold in the hardened heart because everything in God's word will become offensive to you.
Turn away from the sin that so easily besets and know that Grace by faith empowers us through the blood of Jesus , overcomers by the Blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony.
The Holy Spirit empowers be endued with power from on High get into the secret place of the most high and abide under the shadow of the Almighty. The Lord has a upper room experience for us all .

Seek God's face seek ye out of the Book of the Lord. Many false prophets rising up
Seek God's face , seek ye out of the Book of the Lord. God didn't say seek " prophets " for a word . Real God ordained called prophets are sent with the word of the Lord. False prophets are starved for recognition inwardly ravening wolves. Every Christian , evangelist, pastor deacon, prophet, worship leader, hold to the Light of God's word and you'll be able to discern who is real and who isn't.
1 John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Know the word of God and , Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 2 Timothy 2:15

2 PETER 2:1-3) 1 But there were false prophets also among the people even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them and bring upon themselves destruction. 2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of Truth shall be evil spoken of. 3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgement now of a long time lingers not, and their damnation slumbers not.
2 PETER 2:14-19
14 Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children.
15 Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness.
16 But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbad the madness of the prophet.
17 These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever.
18 For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.
19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.

JUDE 1:4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
JUDE 1:8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
JUDE 1:10-13
10 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.
11 Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.
12 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots.
13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.
JUDE 1:16 These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage.

26 Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.
JEREMIAH 23:16-22) 16 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the Lord. 17 They say still unto them that despise me, The Lord hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you. 18 For who hath stood in the counsel of the Lord, and hath perceived and heard his word? who hath marked his word, and heard it? 19 Behold, a whirlwind of the Lord is gone forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked. 20 The anger of the Lord shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly. 21 I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied. 22 But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.
ISAIAH 56:10-12
10 His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.
11 Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter.
12 Come ye, say they, I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and to morrow shall be as this day, and much more abundant.

Wake up sleeping churches
How many more Sunday's and Wednesday's Saturday's Thursdays will the churches gather together with them that love them and salute their brethren only before they follow the command of Jesus to Go out into all the world ? Will you wait till all that can be shaken is shaken . The fields are white ready for harvest will you go ? and Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.
So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.. are you asleep in the light ? Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned?
It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Sifted as wheat
Some times like Peter , Satan desires to sift you as wheat . In Luke 22:31 Jesus said , Simon, Simon behold Satan has desired to have you, that He may sift you as wheat. Verse 32 Jesus said But I have prayed for you, that your faith fail not: and when you are converted, strengthen your brethren.
In the book of Peter a warning sounds that we ought to take heed to daily . 1 peter 5:8 Be sober , be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion walks about seeking whom he may devour .
Encouragement after the warning.
1 peter 5:9-11) 9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.
11 To Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

Grow in Grace .Pursue sanctification Holiness
Don't receive the Grace of God in vain. Many say " work in progress " but have no evidence of the process of growing in Grace no evidence of ongoing sanctification. A form of Godliness denying the power there of. Unrepentant hearts living unchanged drawing near with the mouth hearts far from God. Denying the Lord who bought them . Hands always reaching for justification to continue in the sins that the Lord Jesus Christ shed His Blood for and died to forgive and give us power to overcome. All have sinned falling short of the Glory of God. The truth shall set you free and whom the Son sets free is free indeed. Jesus is the door providing access to Grace by which we are saved and faith works in the power of Christ helping us overcome and conquer. We can do all things through Christ who strengthen us even overcoming sin. Move beyond justification and allow for sanctification to begin. To the cross through the cross , risen with Christ.
Galatians 6:14-17) 14 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.
15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.
16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
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.
Romans 6:5-7) 5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.
Ephesians 4:20-24) 20 But ye have not so learned Christ;
21 If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:
22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
Romans 12:1-2) I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
2 Corinthians 6:1 We then, as workers together with Him, beseech you also that ye receive not the Grace of God in vain.

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.

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.
Galatians 6:14-17) 14 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.

16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.

Receive with faith
Receiving salvation through Christ by faith through His sufficient Grace begins the good work in us . The work of His Righteousness in us. A on going work of sanctification it is His work in us not by our might not by our strength but by His spirit. God is an all consuming fire He purges and purifies. He has called us to relationship " abide in Me" and I in you as the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the Vine. Jesus is the true vine and we are the branches.
Think about what a vine is and represents. A vine is the source of life giving nutrients. And Jesus is the life giving source that has empowered us by His grace to bear much fruit, too reflect His character . The more we abide in Him the more we will reflect His character . Abiding is union with Him . One body one spirit.
We have been bought with His precious blood He has made us a new creation in Christ .He is our abiding power that empowers us with the fruits of His spirit proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. Jesus is the abiding power that empowers us to overcome sin.
There must be more than mental acceptance this free gift must be more than talk more than just a comforting thought or concept more than a feeling. Calling on His Name and recognizing Him as Lord and allowing Him to be Lord of our life are two different things. One can confess with their mouth Jesus is Lord, and that should result in a lifestyle confession denying ourselves taking up our cross daily and following after Him, walking in His ways presenting our body a living sacrifice Holy and acceptable unto God. Selfless service loving those who don't love us back. God is An all consuming fire faith in Him activates His power in our life. This free gift ought of salvation ought to be worked out with fear and trembling. He must increase we must decrease. Please do not receive the Grace of God in vain. We are instructed in the Book of Peter to grow in Grace. Growth in Grace has results when we submit to God with our whole heart. Fight the good fight of faith and lay hold on Eternal life.
May we increase and abound in love toward one another and be unblameable in Holiness before God at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all Saints. May we hold fast that which is good, and our whole soul spirit and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. May we be counted worthy of this calling and fulfill all the good pleasure of His goodness and the work of faith with power that the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be Glorified in us and us in Christ. May we follow after righteousness, Godliness, faith, love patience and meekness in Jesus Name. Amen

Pay attention operation of false prophetic deceivers
Pay attention to those you let " speak prophetic word's " over you . Little clicks in churches are just recycling things you yourself told them about you like your gifts talents passions your pain, health issues, your church hurts from past churches, your burdens from day to day life , your struggles, money problems etc.. they'll recycle it and bring a prophetic word of nonsense not word of knowledge and they'll attach a thus saith the Lord on it or a the Lord said .... They're grievous wolves drawing away disciples after themselves. Inwardly they are ravening wolves.

The Holy Spirit is the best teacher I know
The best teacher I know is The Holy Spirit who leads into all Truth. Best preaching I've ever listened to. He will never hold any thing back and will never dodge scriptures to scratch and tickle itching ears. And He will never require certificates and plagues and credentials with that being said the best Bible college ever known to man is there with an open Bible an open ear and a hunger and thirst whole heartedly submitted being teachable .
Be encouraged
Take the cup of salvation and call upon the Name of the Lord . Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness. It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man. Pour out your heart to God in prayer, ask knock seek and you shall find knock and it shall be opened unto you. Seek diligently with your whole heart nothing is too hard for God. His merciful kindness is great toward us and the truth of the Lord endures for ever. Praise the Lord. With God all things are possible, healing, deliverance peace that surpasses all understanding, where we didn't have any peace before joy unspeakable , sufficient Grace for you and strength perfected in weakness . Lift up your hands and heart to Jesus abide in Him and He will abide in you. Turn away from things unpleasing to Him. Turn away from the sins that crucified Christ and turn to Him. Great is His mercy toward us He is ready to forgive plenteous in mercy unto all who call upon Him. Our Redeemer lives

On things above
Set our mind on things above not on things on the earth. You therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. no man who wars entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that He may please Him who has chosen him to be a soldier. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Who are you listening to man or the Holy scriptures
The Gospel of Christ is the power of God unto Salvation to everyone that believes. Motivational speeches and speakers will give you a good feeling inspire you at the world's views of success and push you closer to laying up in store for yourselves treasures on earth where the focus and commitment of laying up in store for yourselves treasures in Heaven fades. To grab hold of more and more of world success . The exceeding high mountain speeches will lead you astray eventually. It's a slow fade for those who take the bait of satan.. A better job more money more of man's applause isn't salvational or transformational. Many take after and cling to a best life now style speech. Jesus said if any man will come after Me let him take up his cross deny himself and follow Him. Jesus said we'll be hated .
Philippians 1:29 says - for unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ , not only to believe on Him, but also to suffer for His sake.
Acts 14:22 declares - 22 Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.
1 peter 2:21 declares - for even hereunto were ye called because Christ also suffered for us leaving us an example that ye should follow His steps.
Jesus said in Matthew 6:33 seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you
The word of God speaks of a great falling away and there it speaks of Christian's falling away.
Some started well but have took to their own ways some misinformed by the many false prophets they listen to giving prophetic words that turn their attention to money and worldly gains and success. Prophets who prophesy from their flesh and draw away disciples after themselves cherry picking talents and gifts that they covet leading astray drawing many from other churches to make themselves look good and try to hide their falsehoods. They'll flatter you left and right having you looking to the left and right and use slogans like what God is doing not man. But the truth is it's all man and flesh in their false prophetic movements. Strange fire it is.
Motivational speakers are similar to the prosperity gospel preachers having their sights zeroed in on earthly treasures.

Truth what do you believe
And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
Many preach a flattery Gospel a compromised Gospel a itching ears Gospel a Gospel that doesn't show one what's wrong with them will leave them unchanged unrepentant and unknowing of the great need we have for the Grace of God which is received by faith not our works of self-righteousness or any good deed we could do. but the work of His righteousness
Jesus died on the cross not only to forgive our sins, but to also break the power of sin . He heals us and saves us from our destructions. Jesus paid it all not for us to enjoy ourselves and continue in sins. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. The cross is offensive to those still in love with sins. The thief comes to steal to kill and to destroy. Jesus came that we might have life, and that we might have it more abundantly. Jesus is THE way the Truth and the Life. He is the door

Be watchful be vigilant
When some one isn't hearing the Holy Spirit speak, it's another voice another spirit speaking through them influencing them. Careful who you let speak into or over your life. And when the Spirit of Satan tries to influence some to pray against God's chosen anointed vessel that's full of the Holy Spirit and ya begin to rebuke the lying foul demonic tormenting spirits that person being influenced by those spirits and mouth of the one speaking will be rendered speechless their tongue will cleave to the roof of their mouth their jaws will lock shut. At the Name of Jesus those evil lying spirits that are foul have to come to silence and flee in Jesus Name. Thank you Lord for your holy spirit leading me and my brothers and sisters in Christ. We must be sober and vigilant take heed and watch unto prayer and test all things test the spirits to see whether they be of God or not. Recognize when you're ministering to people when there facial expressions and body language show they are disagreeing with the word of the Lord. Just like when Jesus recognized another spirit speaking through Peter and Jesus said get thee behind me Satan. Some with good intentions have another spirit speaking through them at times and the deceiver is so deceptive Satan will try to influence the Christian to rebuke the voice of God and His word and the vessel God is speaking through. Had this happen it's real and these last days people will show themselves and by what influence they listen to will be exposed. Pay attention to patterns facial expressions and their body language . The power of God will silence them like the Lord did tonight when that person tried to pray by a foul spirit . Speak Jesus Name speak the blood the message of the cross. When you go into enemy territory and are snatching souls from Satan's grip the devil and His demons aren't happy. Stay prayed up stay rooted and grounded in the word of God walk in tune with the Holy Spirit. Greater is He who is in us than he that is in the world. No weapon formed against us shall prosper and the gates of Hell shall not prevail Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
Judging ??
While you're over there in your dwelling place judging me and God's chosen for speaking God's word. You fail to realize you're the judgemental one. And you're not really judging us you're judging God because His word pierces the heart . If I spoke fleshly opinons of man then I'd be actually judging you. For example if I said you're skinny that's flesh judging flesh. Or if you say I'm too tall that's flesh judging flesh. If you feel judged by and bible verses spoken it's really your heart being pierced with Holy Spirit conviction. And you in unrighteous fleshly judgement do try and judge a just judge whose judgement is righteous. Two kinds of love in this life God's love which will love you enough to turn you away from things unpleasing to Him. And then there is the world's love and they do love their own with a false temporal scratch my back I'll scratch yours look out for me I'll look out for u type of love. The word of God is full of righteous judgements and The Lord loves us enough to turn us away from falsehood and lies that lead astray.
By the Grace of God and leading of His Holy Spirit I will continue as He leads. And when I've poured my life out like a drink offering and am ready to be offered up. Still His word continues to be preached. The gates of Hell shall not prevail against it. Every vessel the Lord has inhabited will speak what thus saith the Lord. God is not mocked and will never be silent and if He posses our body His temple our speech and preaching shall be in demonstration of the Spirit and of power. To all nations. If one chooses not to speak He will raise up another and another. And if none would speak He will use a donkey

Would you warn or compromise
if i seen or knew of a friend or some random person getting in a car that was fit to travel a road of destruction and I didn't warn them or reach out having knowledge of where they are heading and I just sat silent with no warning that would make me a bad un-loving friend and a comprimising Christian so when i see friends and random people who are getting into a car with the devil I warn them of the path they are taking and where it leads with urgency to get out of that car get off of that road before it is too late. We must have an authentic love . That loves people enough to warn them and love them enough to care about the salvation of their soul . And share the good news of the Gospel with them compelling them to come in compelling them to turn from the life style and ways that lead to death. Jesus sets free from the life style and practice of habitual sin . Turning away from Sin is left out most times in the Gospel message . Because merchandise is made of people and they are numbered and mistakenly counted as " church growth ". Jesus redeems reconciles forgives heals saves and sets free. Many " religious " are critical of the whole message of the Gospel and refuse to counsel with the full counsel of God. That is changing there is a remnant rising up bold as a lion longsuffering patient meek humble full of Christlike love come all who are thirsty and draw with joy water from the wells of salvation. The boldness of the Holy Spirit is coming upon the remnant to preach the Gospel to the poor; to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord. Jesus heals the broken hearted the harvest truly is plenteous but the labourers are few. The fields are white ready for harvest

Be risen with Christ
Be risen with Christ . His Blood cleanses there is power in the Name of Jesus to overcome the world Jesus has overcome the world. Truly greater is He who is in us than he that is in the world. Sin has no dominion over Christ. His Gospel shall again be preached these churches that teach you to stay bound have man's traditions and man's teachings. Jesus sets free whom the Son sets free is free indeed. We are not of the world even as He is not of the world. Their is a sanctifying truth available will you believe will you repent and believe the Gospel? sin is what crucified Jesus, but churches don't like to preach about sin and truly overcoming the sins that so easily beset us. Man has looked to his own ways and built gold, silver, precious stones wood, hay and stubble upon the foundation that no other man can lay than that is laid which is Jesus Christ. Many will not preach against the sins that keep many bound. How will they be free if they do not see their sins as a problem. All have sinned all fall short of the glory of God and the church teaches people it's ok it happens while it does happen it doesn't have to habitually happen continuously. A sinners prayer repeat recite after me from pulpits has deceived many to believe they're saved and on their way now meanwhile they've not been set free and go on with no ongoing work of sanctification. Faith alive and active is life changing and transforming renewing and being renewed it is reviving. The Holy Spirit quickens makes us alive to Christ and dead to sin. A form of Godliness will deny the power thereof and stay dead with head knowledge that never reaches the heart and make one Luke warm and fit to be spewed out of God's mouth. Jesus is the bread of Life , He is the way the Truth and the Life. He bridged the gap for us to cross over from death to life. Jesus is the way to cross over from sins dominion. He did not die in vain He did not die to leave us in the same sinful condition being ruled and dominated by sin. Jesus didn't give His life shed His Blood on the cross and take His life back up again on the third day rising from the dead so we could sin more and more that Grace may abound more and more. Our righteousness of self is as filthy rags. He is our righteousness and we can do all things through Christ we are reborn born again of His spirit by His spirit. Overcomers by the Blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony. Do not receive the Grace of God in vain. He changes us from the inside out behold He makes all things new we are made a new creation in Christ old things passed away all things become new. Will you press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus? And put off the old man put on the new man and walk in the newness of Life found in Christ and given through Christ ? He is our access through Him to this amazing Grace that is sufficient for us where His strength is perfected in our weakness. This people who preach and teach another gospel it is no gospel at all and that's why many sit in their chains bound in the prison house of sins torments. Come to Jesus and His Gospel repent and be baptized every one of you in the Name of Jesus Christ for remission of sins and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit for the promise is unto you and to your children and to all who are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
Repent and be converted that your sins may be blotted out when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord. the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
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.
I will give you
Jeremiah 3:15 And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.
the Lord's flock will be fed and built up in the Most Holy faith. The body will be made whole a real revival in the hearts of those who Name the Name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Bold as a lion they will rise up preaching the Gospel even in the midst of rejection and persecutions.
Frontline soldiers for Christ not afraid of their faces. No fear of man with the truth of God hid in our hearts that we might not sin against Him. Houses of prayer men of faith who have been through the fires of many trials and tribulations, and have came forth with a faith more precious than gold. With a mouth and wisdom which all our adversaries shall not be able to gain say nor resist.
