is there redemption for a sinner?



Is there redemption for a sinner?

We have all done things throughout our lives that we are not proud of, we have not always been the upright role models that we are today as servants of Jesus Christ.

The Bible says that God looked down from heaven upon us and had concluded that all were born into an evil world’s system and controlled by Satan the prince of this world therefore God knows that we have all sinned and have fallen short of His glory for it is written, “ There is none righteous, no, not one.” Romans 3:10 & Romans 3:23

For this reason did God send Jesus into the earth for it is written, “ Jesus came into the world so that sinners might be saved for it is written, “ They that are whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.” Matthew 9:12

We all were sick and suffering the effects of Satan’s deadly virus before the redemption of our souls came through Jesus Christ.

Satan desire is to keep us focused on the wrong that we have done, having us to believe that whatever was done was so terrible, that God would never forgive us for it. Having us to doubt whether God has truly freed us from our sins, hoping that he might have us stumble at fulfilling God’s purpose in our lives.

But to those of you that want to justify yourselves saying, “ I was not controlled by Satan, I have not lived my life according to this world and have done no sin.” The Word of God concludes that you have! For it is written, “ you have he (Jesus) quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; wherein in times past you walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the air (Satan), the spirit that now works in the children of disobedience: among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind: and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.” Ephesians 2:1-3

Before we can be redeemed to God we have to acknowledge that we were estranged!

There is no human being on this earth that has not been exposed or been involved in sin before coming and sometimes after coming to Jesus Christ. There are no perfect people on this earth. Only one was perfect in the flesh, only Jesus Christ our Lord for it is written, “ For he (God) has made him (Jesus) to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him (Jesus).” 2nd Corinthians 5:21

Now that we know that we were servants of Satan, let us serve him no more!

Through the death of Jesus Christ we were redeemed from sin, freed from this evil world’s ways and the grip of Satan.

Therefore turn from the things you once knew and learn of a better way through Jesus Christ, which is the Word of God.
“Study to show yourselves approved before God, being a person that needs not to be ashamed rightly speaking the Word of Truth.” 2nd Timothy 2:15

Study and learn of your redemption, of who you really are in Christ Jesus that you may live free of sin and receive eternal life.

Do not allow anyone to judge you and farther more stop condemning yourselves for the things that you have done, repent and know that Jesus came not into the world to condemn you for it is written, “ God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believe on him is not condemned: but he that believes not is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” St. John 3:17-18

The things we have done wrong in our past, does not define who we are, for we have all in past times walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the air (Satan), the spirit that works in the children of disobedience but you are now changed by God’s Word, you are no longer the servant of evil things, you are no longer who you once were.

You are now redeemed from sin through the Word of God, but Satan will look to attack you through other people as well as the subconscious of your own mind, looking to turn you back to your old ways, bringing up the things of your past against you, do not buy into his lies neither defend yourself against those who look to condemn you, only let God speak through you in all that you do.

But those of you who think that you are going to represent God falsely are fooling your own selves for it is written, “ God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient.” Romans 1:28

And again, “ for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” 2nd Thessalonians 2:11-12

God is a longsuffering god, He is very patient and understands that we will continue to make mistakes, but If you think that you are going to play a game with God, believing that you will continue repeating the same sins over and over with out consequence, you are mistaken for it is written, “ Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man sows, that shall he also reap.” Galatians 6:7

Saul was chosen by God to be the King of His holy people but because of his disobedience he was removed from God’s grace.

Judas was a disciple of Jesus Christ until he decided to obey Satan.

Now having received your redemption of God do not error causing God to turn you over to a reprobate mind because of your games for it is written, “ Examine yourselves, whether you are in the faith; prove your own selves. Know that Jesus Christ is in you, except you are perceived to be reprobates.” 2nd Corinthians 13:5

Respect your redemption and lose not your soul!

Be not of a reprobate mind and believe not the lies of Satan thinking you can profess to know God and still do the old things you use to do, for Jesus says, “ many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied (witnessed or preached) in your name? And in your name have cast out devils? And in your name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity.” Matthew 7:22-23

A reprobate or hypocrite will be cast out into outer darkness for it is written, “There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” Matthew 8:12

Satan wants to keep you from eternal life, he wants to show God that you are not worthy of redemption, he wants God to see you as a reprobate servant as a hypocrite, don’t make him out to be truthful concerning you.

Yes there is redemption for a sinner; yes you can be freed through Jesus Christ.

The apostle Paul was once a murderer many Christians before his redemption came by Jesus Christ.

The apostle Peter was once a very angry man with a fowl mouth before his redemption came by Jesus Christ.

Mary Magdalene was once a harlot a very promiscuous woman before her redemption came by Jesus Christ.

Nicodemus was a false teacher of God’s Word a leader of a religious organization before his redemption came by Jesus Christ.

Who you were or what you have done in your past, does not define who you are.

You have been redeemed, hold fast to your redemption.

Until next time I love you

Are they disciples of God or disciples of Satan?



Are they disciples of God or disciples of Satan?

True servants of God and followers of Jesus Christ do not resemble the appearance of the religious leaders of this world.

True followers of Jesus Christ do not desire praise of men, they do not have any materialist ties to this world of any kind for it is written, “ Then Peter began to say unto Him (Jesus) Lo, we have left all, and have followed you.” Mark 10:28

Jesus goes on to say that there is no man that has made the sacrifice of leaving his house, brothers, sisters, father, mother, wife, children, or lands, for His sake and to preach the gospel that has done this in vain. Mark 10:29-30

No material ties to this world, could you do it, would you do it to gain eternal life?

The Bible says that we are not to be dependant on material things for it is written, “ you therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No man that wars entangles himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who has chosen him to be a soldier.” 2nd Timothy 2: 3-4

We are living in a world where the truth of God’s word holds no real valve, a world where people pretend to know God but by their actions show that they do not for it is written, “ these people draw nigh unto me with their mouth, and honor me with their lips but their hearts are far from me. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.” Matthew 15:8-9

We have priest that preach materialism that promote homosexuality that preach that it is a sin to be poor.

When Jesus says in the very book they preach from the opposite of what they preach for it is written, “ and he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed be you poor: for yours is the kingdom of God. Blessed are you that hunger now: for you shall be filled. Blessed are you that weep now: for you shall laugh. Blessed are you when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man’s sake. Rejoice you in that day, and leap for joy: for behold your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.” Luke 6:20-23

Real men and women of God are not readily received in this world but false prophets and fake preachers are loved by this world for it is written, “ woe unto you that are rich! For you have received your consolation. Woe unto you that are full! For you shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! For you shall mourn and weep. Woe unto you, when men shall speak well of you! For so did their fathers to the false prophets.” Luke 6:24-26

Jesus told us that if we were going to serve Him that this evil world would hate us for it is written, “ If the world hate you, you know that it hated me before it hated you.” John 15:18

Jesus also said that this evil world would loves it’s own for it is written, “ If you were of the world, the world would love his own: but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.” John 15:19

Jesus spoke a parable about a certain type of person that would receive the Word of God, follow the Word of God up until a certain point, and would represent the Word of God falsely for fame and money for it is written, “ And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.” Luke 8:14

The true valve of us all lye not in the things which we possess but in whether or not we know the Word of God for it is written, “Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consist not in the abundance of things which he possesses.” Luke 12:15

Yet Solomon lets us know how the people of this evil world view those that truly serve God. Solomon tells us of a story which he observed during his time as King of Jerusalem, For there was once a great king that attacked a small city and had taken over it, there was a poor man who was very wise in the word of God living in the city at the time of the take over, by the wisdom of this poor man’ was the city delivered out of the hands of the king, but no one remember the man who saved their city because he was poor. Ecclesiastes 9:14-15

In this evil world God’s true messengers are not received very well due to the ignorance of the people having respect of persons or respect to those who are rich.

God says that we are not to have respect of persons or to esteem any man above any other man for it is written, “ you are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knows your hearts: for that which is esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.” Luke 16: 15

God is not fooled by ministers with a great number of followers, He is not impressed by the amount of money in which they are able to extort from the people through false doctrine, He is not moved by their ability to build and purchase land, for it is written, “ For there is no respect of persons with God.” Romans 2:11

And again, “ God is no respecter of persons.” Acts 10:34

But Satan has programmed the minds of the people in this world to respect what a person has more than who that person represents.

The Bible teaches us how foolish it is for a person to think as this evil world does for it is written, “ are you not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts? Hearken, my beloved brothers, has not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he has promised to them that love him? But you have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats?
Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by which you are called?” James 2: 4-7

Any man preaching worldly prosperity blasphemes God Almighty for it is written, “ No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other, or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and Mammon (money).” Matthew 6:24

Although Satan has deceived the entire world to believe that every man who uses the name of Jesus Christ is a servant of God, it is not so, for it is written, “ For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.” 2nd Corinthians 11:13-15

Jesus said that you would know His true ministers by their words and their actions for it is written, “ a good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth that which is evil: for the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.” Luke 6:45

Out of the abundance of the heart a man speaks, so if the preacher is preaching about being on television, making money, buildings houses, building larger churches, and buying lands, you can conclude that his heart is focused on these things for it is written, “ Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Matthew 6:19-21

The Bible says that the minds of these men have been corrupted by the Devil and the wickedness of this world and we are to separate ourselves from these false teachers for it is written, “ Men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness from such withdraw thyself. 1st Timothy 6:5

The Bible says be not partaker of another man’s iniquities: it is not good enough for us to say to ourselves that the preacher will have to answer for what he is doing wrong. This is true, he will have to answer for what he has done but so will you for it is written, “ come out from among them my people, that you be not partakers of her sins, and that you will not receive of her plagues.” Revelation 18:4

People of the world, please do not lose your souls thinking that you can play church!

Nothing in this world is worth losing your soul over, for what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul or what shall a man exchange for his soul? Mark 8:36

Study to show yourself approved before God rightly dividing the Word of Truth, learn the truth about what a servant of God looks and acts like and be content for it is written, “ But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.” 1st Timothy 6:6-8

There is no shame if the world does not acknowledge you as a man or woman of God for it is written, “ Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed: But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses, In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, in watching, in fasting, by pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned, by the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left, by honor and dishonor, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true; As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold we live; as chastened, and not killed; as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.” 2nd Corinthians 6:3-10

No material ties to this world, could you do it, will you do it to gain eternal life?

For the Bible says, “But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. 1st Timothy 6:9-10

No material ties to this world for it is written, “ But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, where unto you are also called, and have professed a good profession before many witnesses.” 1st Timothy 6:11-12

Until next time, I love you

Fighting Pure Evil



Fighting pure Evil

Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 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. Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all to stand. Ephesians 6:11-13

There have been many battles and wars fought here on this planet earth, since the beginning of it all there has been reason to fight for something.

You can and will find thousands of stories that record a record number of human bodies being destroyed by other humans.

But none of these stories speak of what it is that we as humans are truly up against, none speak of the true battle that is taking place.

There was an angel which held the highest office in heaven only second to the Son of God (Jesus).

His job was to stand by the mercy seat of God almighty (Jehovah).

The mercy seat of God was none other than the Son of God (Jesus) who also is known as the light of the world.

The angel therefore was known as the light bearer, which translates into the name of Lucifer.

One day Lucifer’s jealousy had over taken him and he desired to be as God, so he started a mutiny and one third of the host of heaven followed him as it is written, “ I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most high. Isaiah 14:13-14

Jehovah and his Son Jesus had Lucifer and the third that followed after him removed from heaven and cast them down to earth as it is written, “ The great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceived the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. Revelations 12:9

And again, “ How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How art thou cut down to the ground, which did weaken the nations! Isaiah 14:12

These fallen angels have no physical bodies they are spirits and they have followers that are flesh that worship Satan.

These followers are human and through certain satanic rituals allow themselves to be inhabited by these spirits that they may carry out the orders of their leader Satan.

The Bible provides us with an example of this in the book of Acts chapter 23 where we find the rulers of the darkness of this world planning to kill the apostle Paul for preaching for it is written, “ when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together. And bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.” Acts 23:12

These fallen angels are also known as Nephilim or the old ones and have been allowed to inhabit the bodies of people in high offices of our government, media, religious organizations, as well as all of our society.

Jesus encountered some of these fallen angels or Nephilim spirits in the book of Matthew 8:12 for it is written, “ when He was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.”

The bible shows how these evil spirits were occupying the bodies of the religious leaders of old times for it is written, “ Then assembled together the chief priests, and scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas, and consulted that they might take Jesus by subtlety, and kill him.” Matthew 26:3-4

Again I say, “ Open your eyes people for what we are up against is not flesh and blood, but spiritual wickedness in high places.”

Jesus spoke of the rulers of the darkness of this world bringing great tribulations by way of the government of a new world order. Matthew 24:21-22

The bible speaks of these fallen angels or evil spirits being in our government, in the body of a world politician that will be representing Satan, and last but not least in religion, for it is written, “ I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon (politician inhabited by Lucifer), and out of the mouth of the beast (government) and out of the mouth of the false prophet (religious leader). For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.” Revelation 16:13-14

The bible speaks of how the entire earth is going to be deceived by this spiritual wickedness in high places for it is written, “ and they worshipped the dragon (politician inhabited by Lucifer) which gave power unto the beast (government): and they worshipped the beast (government), saying, who is like unto the beast (government)? Who is able to make war with him? And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. Revelation 13:4-5

The bible clearly states that we are fighting against Lucifer himself against super natural forces of darkness at the highest point of the government and religion.

But Jesus tells us not to worry for we have the victory for it is written, “ for in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be. And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect’s sake that he has chosen, he has shortened the days. Mark 13:19-20

We are living in the times in which the bible speaks of: there are men and women who have vowed themselves to serving Lucifer. They are satanic and are pushing their leader’s agenda to the entire world for it is written, “ and it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindred’s, and tongues, and nations. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.” Revelation 13:7-8

The principalities and powers of the fallen angels will not deceive true servants of Jesus Christ; we will not receive the mark of the beast (Satan’s government).

We will stand and fight with Jesus against the evil of this world for it is written, “ I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he does judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. And the armies, which were in heaven, followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.” Revelation 19:11-14

There will be a war, one last fight against the spiritual wickedness of this world for it is written, “ I saw the beast (government), and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse (Jesus), and against his army. And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These were both cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.” Revelation 19:19-21

We shall have the victory over the darkness of this world; Lucifer and his fallen angels will not rule this earth for eternity.

So people wake up, open your eyes, be not deceived for in the words of our Lord and Savor Jesus Christ, “ Take heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.” Mark 13:23

Sexual Desires


Add ImageSexual desires

Many people suffer with the sexual effects of the body, haven been programmed by Satan’s worldly ways of thinking this has been trouble for many people for it is written, “ such shall have trouble in the flesh.” 1st Corinthians 7:28

Through the Word of God we can find comfort and direction concerning the thing, which many of us call natural behavior.

Is it natural for people to act like animals during mating season; is it natural for two adults or two children to indulge is sexual behavior not being married one to another?

The Bible says, “The body is not for fornication but for the Lord and the Lord for the body.” 1st Corinthians 6:13

But the Bible let’s us know that it was predicted that this problem would increase after each generation for it is written, “In the last days perilous times shall come, men will become lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God.” 2nd Timothy 3: 1-4

To avoid the wide spreading effects of Satan’s way of thinking, “ we are to present our bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto God, which is our reasonable service.” Romans 12:1

If we began wanting to have sex out of wedlock and become too curious about sex then we are to get married because sex is only permitted to the married for it is written,
“In marriage all is honorable and the bedroom is undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.” Hebrews 13:4

It is not God’s desire that every man or woman is to be married for it is written, “to the unmarried and widows, it is good for them if they stay single but if they cannot contain their sexual desires let them marry, for it is better to marry than to burn.” 1st Corinthians 7:8-9

And again, “It is good for a man not to touch a woman. nevertheless to avoid fornication let every man have his own wife and let every woman have her own husband. Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence and likewise also the wife unto the husband.” 1st Corinthians 7: 1-3

It was never intended for people to look upon one another as sex objects this was inputted by Satan’s worldly way of thinking, for Jesus says, “ who so ever looks on a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.” Matthew 5:28

From the time we were born Satan has been programming us through the television, family members, classmates, co-workers, religious organization, and so much more.

The word sex or the word sexy is not in the Bible, yet there are magazines and contest for the sexiest people alive.

What does the word sexy mean? If the word sex means to indulge in intercourse with someone does the word sexy mean that it is a person who you would like to have intercourse with?

We are not slaves to our flesh bodies for it is written, “ let not sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in the lust there of, neither yield your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin.” Romans 6:12-13

We are not to indulge in acts of sexual behavior while unmarried no matter what they say is accepted in this world for it is written, “ abstain from fornication, you should know how to possess your vessel in sanctification and honor.” 1st Thessalonians 4:3-4

We all belong to God and having sex out of wedlock is not the way of God for it is written, “ know you not that your bodies are the members of Christ, shall you then take the members of Christ and make them the members of an harlot? 1st Corinthians 6:15

Ladies you are jeopardizing your souls when you are sleeping with these men.

Gentle men you are jeopardizing your souls when you are sleeping with these ladies.

For it is written, “ know you not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived no fornicators shall inherit the kingdom of God.” 1st Corinthians 6:9-10

So the next time you find yourself being stimulated by your sexual desirers I suggest that you remember what the apostle Paul said, “ I keep under my body and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.

Wake up people, from the deception of Satan, break the cycle of letting your flesh rule.

Until next time I love you,

Born into Bondage


We all have been born into a world whose system was designed to keep people operating in fear.

God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 2nd Timothy 1:7

The system of this world is ran by the devil, Lucifer himself, for it is written, “ the prince of this world comes, and hath nothing in me” Said Jesus. St. John 14:30

And a again, “ Judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.” St. John 16:11

And again, “ But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.” 2nd Corinthians 4: 3-4

Jesus Himself refers to Satan as the prince/god of this world and a world governed by Satan is a world that is meant for bondage.

From the time we are born we were taught to live in fear, to concern ourselves with things like, what to eat, to drink, to wear, how long would we live, taught to chase after earthly riches like a large house, boats, cars, jewels, and so much more.

But through the Word of God we can escape the bondage of this world’s system.

The Bible teaches us how to live free of the system of Satan, for it is written, “ that we are to be in the world but not of the world.”

Conform not to the world but to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. Romans 12:2

Why is there a need to renew our minds? Because Satan programmed our minds from the time we were born into his system.

This system of his can be compared to the system of a popular science fiction movie named the Matrix. This movie was written by Andy and Lana Wachowski and showed that most of the world was living in a dream state of mind, trapped in a system unknowingly.

In this movie only a very few people were aware of the difference and dedicated their lives to waking up others that were still trapped in the system called the Matrix.

Jesus Christ came into the world to free us from the system of the devil for it is written, “ Love not the world neither the things that are in the world. If any man loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passes away, and the lust thereof: but he that does the will of God abides forever. 1st John 2:15-17

Satan’s system teaches us to trust in things that have no real value, to be in bondage to things that will pass away.
Jesus frees us from this way of thinking for it is written, “ take no thought for tomorrow for tomorrow will take thought of itself.” Matthew 6:34

Do not say to yourself, what will I eat or what will I drink or how will I be clothed? For your Father in heaven knows what you have need of before you even ask for it. Matthew 6:31-32

Jesus frees us from thinking like those who are still deceived by the system of Satan by teaches us to seek first the kingdom of God and placing all our worldly concerns on God the Father to provide for us. Matthew 6:33

Jesus came into the world and lived free of the system of Satan. He was not in bondage, stressed over a piece of land or a house. He was not in bondage to a corrupt system that allowed some to gain and others to suffer loss. He was not in bondage to time, worried about retirement or not getting to accomplish some worldly goal before passing through this world. He knew that this world system was not of God and therefore would pass away.

He was not in bondage to the government for it is written, “ Whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute (taxes) of their own children, or of strangers? And Peter answered Him, of strangers. Jesus said, then are the children free.” Matthew 17: 25-27

Jesus also pointed out a clear difference between God and the system of Satan when He made the statement about the government of this world, for it is written, “ render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s and unto God the things that are God’s.” Matthew 22:21

The system of this world teaches us that cash is king, but Jesus said, “ you cannot serve two masters: either you will hate the one, and love the other; or else you will hold to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money. St. Luke 16:13

Jesus teaches us to not trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy. 1st Timothy 6:17

Satan attempted to use his system on Jesus while He was in the desert fasting.

First he tried the lust of the flesh technique asking Jesus to obey His own hungry flesh, but Jesus used the Word of God against Satan saying, “ man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.” Matthew 4:4

Secondly he tried the pride of life technique telling Jesus to prove Himself by showing off His Godly power and having His angels catch Him in mid air. Jesus used the Word again saying, “ Thou shall not tempt the Lord thy God.” Matthew 4:7

The third and final technique that Satan used was the lust of the eyes, showing Jesus all of the world’s wealth and offered it to Him if He would worship him and commit to his system, but Jesus shows us how to defeat this world’s system with the Word of God once again when He says, “ Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shall worship the Lord thy God, and Him only shall thou serve.” Matthew 4:10

God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son that whosoever would believe in Jesus would be set free of the bondage of this world’s system. St. John 3:16

If any of mankind be in Christ Jesus the old ways of this world’s system are past away and behold all things become new. 2nd Corinthians 5:17

We are to put off the old man, which was programmed by Satan and put on the new man, which has been set free through the word of Jesus Christ. Colossians 3:9-10

I like the way Paul said It, “ I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38-39

We are truly free from the bondage of this world’s system when we come to the understanding that nothing in this world is worth losing our souls over.

Focus on storing up treasures in heaven and not here on earth. Covet after nothing or no one in this world.

We were born into bondage but there is Freedom for us all through Jesus Christ.

Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior today!

Learn of His ways and be free.

Until next time, I love you,

The wisdom of this world is foolishness













The wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. 1st Corinthians 3:19

There is a way that seems right unto a man, but the end result is death. Proverbs 14:12

Many of us were raised to believe that true wisdom comes from attending the world’s higher learning institutions.

We were told that if we study the teachings of this world’s greatest minds, that we too would be very wise.

That if we would obtain a degree in the understandings of what others believe on how to prosper in this world, we would have gained something of great value.

An education does have a value, but with all your getting, get an understanding. Proverbs 4:7

Get the understanding of Jesus Christ, for without the wisdom of Jesus Christ, what will the other profit you?

According to the Word of God, there are two types of wisdom, a wisdom that is taught by man and another that is taught by the Spirit of God.

Learning the wisdom of men can only benefit us in one-way, how to operate and understand a worldly system throughout our earthly lives.

The wisdom of God can benefit us in so much more, we can learn to live free from the worldly system and gain eternal life.

The wisdom that is taught by man is available to all that attends the world’s educational system, but the wisdom of God can only be obtain through faith in Jesus Christ and by whom the Spirit of God will reveal it to.

Many educated men have tried to obtain the wisdom of God by studying His Holy Bible, but have not obtained it’s understanding.

For Jesus said, ” I thank you Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hid these things from the wise and prudent, and have revealed them unto babes.” Matthew 11:25

And again that seeing they may not see and hearing, they may not understand (comprehend). Luke 8:10

We live in a world that operates by man’s wisdom, the wisdom of the five senses sight, hearing, taste, touch, and smell.

For if one of these senses cannot be proven then it is not true according to man’s knowledge.

For it is written, “ we have received not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Ghost teaches; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 1st Corinthians 2:12-14

You see two types of wisdom, each opposing the other.

Which of them will you believe?

Man’s wisdom works at disproving the wisdom of God and has not been able to disprove it.

But the wisdom of God has not only proven itself, but has also made a mockery of man’s wisdom by performing things that they cannot explain nor find out how they were done.

For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this world? Have not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. 1st Corinthians 1:19-21

Don’t we understand that all of our worldly wisdom of medicine, aerodynamics, science, philosophy, technology, and so much more, will not save us come the Day of Judgment?

There are two types of wisdom in this world, one is described as,” earthly, sensual, devilish, for it is said, “ that this wisdom descended not from above (Heaven). James 3:15

The second is described as, “ But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.” James 3:17

So while you are pursuing your PHD make sure you get your JC (Jesus Christ) that you may receive the true benefit of wisdom, which is eternal life.

Until next time I love you,


Minister

Will a hypocrite Christian ever see Heaven?


Will a hypocrite Christian ever see Heaven?

There are many kinds of hypocrites in the world, but those who call themselves Christian are playing a very dangerous game.

The Bibles says, it would have been better for a person to not have known the ways of righteousness, than, after they have known God’s word, to turn from God’s ways and to go back into the ways of the world. 2nd Peter 2:21

For unto who so ever much is given, of him shall be much required Luke 12:48

There are many that say they serve God but live their lives contrary to His ways.

Many of these people believing themselves to be victorious because of their association with a financially prospering religious organization.

It seems to them that God is with their religious organization in spite of the actions of the people.

The book of Job disagrees with these people, as it reads;

“ That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment?
Though his excellence mount up to the heavens, and his head reach unto the clouds:
Yet he shall perish forever like his own dung (waste): they which have seen him shall say, where is he?
He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night.” JOB chapter 20:5-8

God takes no pleasure in those of us who honor Him with our lips but our actions dishonor Him. Matthew 15:8

Some might believe that because they have one of the largest ministries in the world, that God does not see what their inner heart is full of (greed).

Just as the Pharisees of the Bible believed themselves to have it right and John the Baptist to be wrong because John lived in the desert with no building to preach from but they preached from the most beautiful buildings in Jerusalem.


The Bible says, “ For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God takes away his soul? JOB chapter 27:8

There are many people prospering from falsely teaching the words of God.

There are many people following the false teachings of God.

There are many people living their lives as hypocrites, believing that one-day they will have eternal life.

These people are fooling themselves, as it is written in the book of James Chapter 1 verses 22-25 as it reads:

“ But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: (mirror)
For he behold himself, and goes his way, and straightway forgets what manner of man he was.
But who so looks into the perfect law of liberty (The Holy Bible) and continue therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

Those of us who call ourselves servants of God, those of us who are referred too as Christians need to understand that this is not a game!

Some might believe that they can continue going out night after night participating in sin without God judging them.

Some might believe that God will overlook their disobedience as they continue to commit adultery and fornication (having sex outside of wedlock).

Some might believe that God will not hold them accountable for worshiping material things and chasing after wealth.

Some might believe that God places them higher than anyone else because they have a title; pastor, deacon, usher, choir member, nurse, or whatever position in the church.

But with all our getting, we are to get, understanding! Proverbs 4:7

God has no respect of persons we all are expected to live according to the Word of God! Proverbs 28:21 Romans 2:11

The Bible says, “ If a righteous man does that which is wicked he shall die in his sin.”
“If a wicked man does that which is righteous he shall save his soul alive.”
Ezekiel 18:24-29

Jesus cried out against those who represented the Word of God falsely, calling them hypocrites. Matthew 23:13-39

Let us read how Jesus describes these religious leaders;

Woe unto you scribes and Pharisee, hypocrites! For you are like unto white sepulchers (tomb or grave), which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead man’s bones, and of all uncleanness.” Matthew 23:27

Please don’t have Jesus see you as He saw the religious people of that time.

Stop playing church and develop a personal relationship with God.

Stop following men and start following God, through the guidance of the Word of God and His Holy Spirit.

Until next time

I Love you,
