"BEWARE OF HIS DEVICES, NO LOOP HOLES TO HEAVEN! 2nd Cor. 11:14-15;"
Praise The Lord To All, "2nd Tim. 2:16"
Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend Pro. 27:17.
For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved "St. John 3:20."
Are
"we" truly serious about our "salvation?" We only have one soul! Yes
God is a forgiving God, but He is also the Judge of all the earth,
"Gen. 18:25" who will do right. I am grieve to see the many souls of
men and woman, who are professing to be christians "Christ like" who
are bent towards fulfilling "Gal. 5:19-21" the lusts and the desires of
their own hearts "mind."
I do not at all, want the
"blood" of my brothers and sisters on my hand. I must give you, what
the Lord has laid upon my heart to say, somebody is searching for
truth! and many are looking for a loop hole around "true holiness," St.
John 18:38. If I may say, at the present time, satan has more
preachers, ushers, deacons, lay members, counterfeits in this age which
we are living in, than the called, chosen, and faithful ministers "Acts
1:8; Rom. 9:24; 10:14-16," of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
That
evil one, knows more Scriptures, than the average one of us, he is
quick to say, thus saith the Lord, the Lord made me to know thus and
thus, and etc, but "ONE THING" he cannot do, and that is, to live holy,
he is a liar, and the father of it, "Gen. 3:4-5; St. John 8:44" and a
murderer. I am sure that many of us know about his deceptive devices
which we have fell prey to from time to time, I am crying from within,
"my" brothers and sisters, we do not want to be "lost Isa. 5:14," many
are lost, and don't know it, "St. Mat. 15:14; St. Luke 6:39," and many
do know of the way "St. Luke 12:47; Jer. 6:16," but refuse to walk in
it.
How many of us, have ever went to an event of some
kind, small or great, which required a "valid" passport, ticket, money,
id, credit card, and etc, of some kind, and unbeknown to you that the
required item's are not in your possession when time to be presented to
the Authorized One?
Many show up with what "they
believe" the required "valid" ticket or named above items only to
discover that they have been dealt a counterfeit ticket or item,
"2 Cor. 11:14; 15," when presented to the Creditor "1John 4:1; 1Kings 22:22."
I
can recall some years ago, when I was leaving the bank in Silver Spring
MD. I was approach by a young man who had a TV wrapped so beautiful,
partially covered in a box and clear wrapping, he said he only wanted
fifty U.S dollars for it, I knew if the TV was new, it was worth more
than what he was asking for, so I gave him the fifty U.S dollars for
the TV, I knew from within my heart, that if this TV was new, the young
man more than likely had stolen it, but I wanted it so bad, that I
allowed my fleshly desires to whisper to me, how do you know, did you
see him steal it?
That is just what I wanted to hear to
console me for the time being, so after placing the TV into the car, I
droved home, I told my wife about this great bargin I had purchase for
only fifty dollars hoping she would agree with me, I placed the TV away
into a closet, without opening the package for months, finally I
decided to open the package to enjoy the new TV, only to discover that
it was a used, unworking TV, I was HOT! trying to get something for
little of nothing, it just do not pay to cut corners, my beloved.
I'm
only trying to stress to each and everyone of you, please do not cut
corners with your soul, you only have "one soul" satan is "as" a
roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour, he has "MANY" preachers out
here "quoting" scriptures, and is short changing many souls, the blind
leading the blind, we really have no excuse, Jesus said: wherefore by
their fruits ye shall know them "Mat. 7:20."
Can
one imagine the first response of the victim's? This can not be! I
purchase this "counterfeit" with my life? and this what I get in
return?
"Mat. 7:23; Isaiah 14:16; 17" Sad, sad, that bitter wail, almost, but lost.
I
gave my time, my money, for these items and I really believed that I
had what it took to allow me access to take this trip, or to be apart
of this special event, It's not a good feeling when one is turned away,
well, to put us all on notice, it will be just like the examples giving
you above, if we fail to build our lives "on" the foundation
"Eph. 2:20" and according to "THE PATTERN" as many are failing to do it God's way
"Rom. 12:1-2; Mat. 22:14; 1 Cor. 1:26; Isaiah 5:14."
When
we look into the perfect law of liberty, we will discover (2)
teachers,"the Lord God, St. John 16:13; 2 Peter 1:21" and satan Gen.
3:1-5; Mat. 4:6; Luke 4:1-13, which one are we following behind?
Truthfully, we are following one or the other, Mat. 6:24; Romans 6:23.
One teacher is the Way, Truth and Life, "St. John 14:6" and the other
"teacher is a liar and a murderer, "St. John 8:44; 2 Cor. 11:14."
Many
believe they are following Jesus, by just quoting, "Romans 10:9"
without taking into account who the writer is speaking to, if you would
read from "Romans 10:14-15; Acts 9:10-22, it will shed more light on
"Romans 10:9." Before I became a master plumber, it was at some point
introduced to me first, then I believed I could be one, just me
believing alone, did not cause it to come to pass, first, plumbing, was
introduce to me, I then embraced that which was introduce to me by
following the process through, to become a master plumber.
My
belief "Heb. 11:6" to becoming a plumber, started the wheels to
rolling, the first thing after the introduction to this trade was to
join up with the "plumber's" not just a professing plumber, but a
qualified/certified plumber, I had to be accepted first into the
Plumbers Local, and this was through initiation "before
qualified/certified witnesses of the profession I was embracing," and
all present at the union meeting that night was plumbers, from the B/A
" Business Agent" to the Journeyman Plumber.
It is
imperative that we eat the "whole roll, Heb. 10:39" to be identified
with them who are sanctified, "Acts 1:8; 2:38; 10:40-48; 8:12-17;
8:26-39; and many more supporting scriptures? Have you received the
Holy Ghost since you believe? Have you been initiated in the Lord's
family according to the scriptures? I believe you believe in your heart
"mind" and is confessing with your mouth, that Jesus is Lord, but faith
without works is "dead James 2:18-20; 26."
Have it
occurred to one, how Apostle Paul himself was initiated into the body
of Christ? Yes, the Lord met him on his way to Damascus, he certainly
thought, he was doing a great work for the God of his fathers, by
intending to bound and bring to Jerusalem, any of the disciples of the
Lord that he could find of (this way Acts 2:36-41) yes, he was sincere
as many I believe today are, but sincerely wrong! Without fail,
Saul/Paul was converted in his mind after meeting the Lord,"Acts 9:4-6;
Rom. 10:9" but he continue to follow on to know the Lord
Just
look at the mercy of our God towards a sincere soul, many sincere
souls, as Saul was "Acts 9:1-5" are at the present stoning the
disciples of the Lord with there tonge, thinking they are doing God's
service, but without doubt, the Lord will send "Acts 9:17-18; St. John
7:38" His Preacher, to rescue that soul from error "Acts 1:8; Rom.
10:14-15"
One "must" be born again according to the
scriptures, Mary the mother of Jesus "Isaiah 7:14; Acts 1:12-14," was
born again, Peter and the Apostles, Jesus hand picked disciples, had to
be born again, and you know, before they was initiated to witness,
"Acts 1:8" they were confessing with their mouth's and their belief in
HIM cause them to follow through, "St. Luke 24:44-52; Acts 1:8; Acts
2nd Chapter, Rom. 8:9."
In my conclusion dearly beloved,
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt
believe in thine heart, that God hath raised him from the dead, thou
shalt be saved Rom. 10:9.
Apostle Paul and the rest of
the hand pick Apostles of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and the
three thousand converts on the day of Pentecost, followed the process
through, there confession and belief in the God sent Preacher, "St.
Luke 4:18; 24:44-49," cause them "Acts 1:15" to follow the process
through "Acts 1:1-4; 2:37-41."
We, which are in the land
of the living today, during this church dispensation, is not at all
exempt, since we are still in the church dispensation, we "must" build
on the foundation, all other ground is sinking sand. Marvel not that I
say unto you, you must "REPENT" and be Baptized according to the
Scriptures, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost "Christ in
you the hope of glory" just shaking some preacher hand, and repeating
after him, "Rom. 10; 13" is NO LOOP HOLE TO HEAVEN! We must come in at
the door "St. John 3:5-14; 10:1; Eph. 4:5 Gal. 1:8; 9." Don't be FOOLED
by that other teacher! You won't surely die "Gen. 3:4-5."
Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
