Teaching work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.what does it mean

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.

Reign means to have dominion or dwell, prevail or be predominant

obey means to obey one's passions, thus becoming enslaved by them

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.

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.
32 For the turning away of the simple shall slay them,
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.' Mat. 25:46 "And they shall go away into eternal punishment; but the righteous into everlasting life."
