Sinning Saints ?

 

We lose more friends with this topic, but.... it is scripture, so it still needs to be said, preached, proclaimed and followed....

We too often hear error, such as "as long as you are in the flesh you are going to sin",,, [probably, but we dont have to]

We hear "God understands" when it comes to our weaknesses. 
[God understands we are giving in to the flesh]

The Lord gave us the power to overcome sin, and the grave. This is not a time to refrain from resistance, rebuke, and relax the armor of God, but to use it daily.  Fasting and Prayer greatly reduces the will to sin, it has the ability to blow out every unholy fire that is within us.
Let's be reminded of these scriptures.

Romans 3:23
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

["Have sinned", is Past tense, not 'all are sinning ']

1st John 1:10
10If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

[again, Past tense]

1st Corinthians 6:9-11
Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

10Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

11And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

[again Past tense, "such WERE some of you"]

Hebrews 6:1-2
Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,


Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

We are almost outta here, Christ is too soon to come, the proof is on the Evening and Local News everyday, in our neighborhoods, our families, the children, the schools and we have become a star-spangled disaster as a Nation. The Church leads the Nation out of Sin, and 
into the Favor of God.  Marching and protesting wont do it, Only what the Bible says
"If GOD's PEOPLE, shall Humble Themselves, Pray, SEEK HIS FACE, and We TURN from Our Wicked Ways, THEN GOD Will Hear us from Heaven, Forgive our sin and Heal our Land".

We must at least admit God's Word about us departing from out sins is true, and must be done and CAN be done, because His Word says so.  Let the Lord see His Church trying, putting forth the effort, resisting evil, sin, immorality, injustice, etc. God is Great in Mercy.  Let's Try Harder without making excuses.  The Hour is Late!

WHEN THE SAINTS ARE (REALLY) GETTING OUTTA HERE!

click here for full Youtube message>>>>  MATTHEW 24 IS PLAIN  

The below scriptures and Verse #15 is what Jesus said to His Discples not 
a group of random spectators, skeptics, and followers.  Whereever you see
the word "YOU" He's speaking to Believers/followers.  Let's not excuse ourselves from the imminent Word that plainly tells Christians that at the end times we will be here to experience many things that many are not taught are for us. 

We like to think we wont be here for the Great Tribulation  and God would never let His people go through such a hard thing, but then Moses wouldve entered the promised land, Job would never have suffered, John the Baptist, The Apostles, Stephen and Paul went through hard things, and dont forget Jesus suffering, 

The Church thinks it's exempt, special, better than the early Church, but we need to toughen up and get ready,,, Remember "nothing thall separate us from the Love of God in Christ Jesus,...not Peril, not distress, not sword or anything...He Still Loves us no matter what hard thing happens to us, or trouble we endure. 

 It plainly tells us in this passage we shall be here when the Abomination of Desolation is setup and 2nd Thessalonians Chapter 2 (v6) tells us "now you know what withholds/precedes our Gathering together unto the Lord, the revealing of the antichrist.  The Church WILL be here.
                                  Read, Believe and just Be Ready always!

DRESSED TO KILL ! (a Saints meetin)

 2nd Corinthians 10:3-6
3For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: 4(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 6And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

EPHESIANS 6:10-18  (bible verse)

10..."Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

11Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

12For 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.

13Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

14Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

15And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

16Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

17And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

18Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;"


*******************************************************

The highlighted words are emphasized to show how we can BE ABLE to stand against the wiles of the devil and quench EVERY fiery dart of the wicked.

One reason the Church appears weak to the world is due to not taking The Armor of God seriously.  We wouldnt need armour if a fight were not involved. We must fight !!

We used to sing a song back in the day, saying "we have to fight although we have to cry, we've got to hold up the Blood-Stained banner, we've got to hold it up until we die; We are Soldiers in the Army of The Lord!"  Amen !
When we see we can BE ABLE to stand against the wiles of the devil and quench every fiery dart he throws our way, we must know that if we Do Not Use this Armour we are subject to defeat to the wiles of the devil and be struck with every fiery dart.  satan wants us back and will use every temptation we used to be involved in, he will use every accuser, liar, rediculer, former pleasures and involvements, any weakness that was left at the altar, the enemy until we die will try to bring it back if our guard is down.

Too many of us expect God to do what He has already given us the Command to do for ourselves and supplied us with the tools, equipment and instruction to achieve the victory in the quest we are in. We ask God to , cleanse us when the Word of God tells us to "Purge ye yourselves, work out your own soul salvation,  Buildup yourselves on your most Holy Faith, Strengthen yourselves, etc. etc. 

We are also told "seek the face of God" (Pray earnestly) Seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness...".  These requests/commands are Proactive, aggressive, sole responsibility of the believer.  We must Press our way, go against our flesh, and yield to The Spirit of God. 

 God's yoke is easy, and His burden is light. Love only sees the victory not the fight, the finish line not the opponents, The reward, not the struggle to acquire it. When we fix our eyes on the prize and high-calling of God in Christ Jesus, we become unstoppable, immovable, always abounding in the Work of the Lord, overcoming every hindering cause.    FIGHT !!  You are dressed to Kill every plan of wickedness!! make the enemy retreat, and go back to the drawing board every time!



            

                                                                     

   Truth, Righteousness, Peace, Faith, Salvation and The Word of God which is the Sword of the Spirit.

SINS, REMARRIAGE, THE LAW, AND THE COMING OF THE LORD: ROMANS CH. 7

THIS INCLUDES A 31.4 MINUTE AUDIO MESSAGE, NOT FOR THE "FAINT OF HEART" OR THE "UNWEANED" COVERING TOPICS IN THE BOOK OF ROMANS CHAPTER 7, CONTROVERSIAL BUT THE COLD HARD TRUTH TO SOME AND STRONG MEAT TO OTHERS.  LET'S REMEMBER Romans Ch. 6:23 READS
 "23For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. "Notice it says "Is death"  not "Was", which was spoken After the Resurrection of Christ, and the wages of sin is still death to this day unless we Repent and recognize we Need Jesus more than food and water, for every person that ever inhabited the womb.
The last verse is believed to say that "the mind serves the law of God and the flesh serves the law of sin" and many accept that it can't be dealt with. Paul essentially is telling us when we serve God we follow The Law of God when our flesh sins we serve the law of sin.

It is written: (James 1:14-15) "Every man is tempted when he is drawn away of his own lust and enticed, then when lust hath conceived it bringeth forth sin, and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death."

Romans 6:12 "Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof."

Romans Ch. 7 reads...

"Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?

2For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.

3So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.

4Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.

5For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.

6But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.

7What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.

8But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.

9For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.

10And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death.

11For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.

12Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.

13Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.

14For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.

15For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.

16If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.

17Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

18For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.

19For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.

20Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

21I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.

22For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:

23But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.

O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank God through Jesus Christ Our Lord, So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin".25

CHRISTMAS: EVERYDAY IS THE LORD'S! LET'S NOT RESERVE IT FOR PAGANS!

Let’s make sense of these pagan-threats against Christmas!
Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: 
Colossians 2:16

Some symbols, especially Santa Claus needs to be removed from the Holiday,  Christian children need to be looking up for the Star of David that shown over the manger or for the precious soles of the feet of Christ in the rapture and not some sleigh of reindeer and a flying santa. Do you believe the government in the U.S. will move Christmas to say...September 21st?   No!..  and we don’t have Bibles in the hotel rooms anymore, no more 10 commandments on the wall of the courthouses, no more prayer in most schools, no nativity scenes in front of municipal and federal offices. If we eliminate this glorious day of celebration all together we simply wouldn’t have it at all except in our private lives and that's just what the devil ordered, 'remove it, keep it quiet, hide it, and eliminate it'. satan wants to increase and God decrease. "Remember Me", This is the Order of Everyday of the Year (and yes Corporately, together for Holy Communion) but to say we "should Not observe The Lord on December 25th" does Him dishonor, we must never forget "The evening and the morning were the First day and the evening and the morning were the 7th day", and guess what?  The evening and the morning are each of the 365 days of the year, and God Made Every One of Them, from sundown to sundown, each day Is THE LORD's !!! so don't attribute ANY DAY to the pagans,  it is Theft.  We may Honor the Lord ANY DAY Of THE YEAR, The Lord Owns the Evening the Afternoon and the Morning!

Let's not be agents and spokes-people for satan’s plan/agenda to erase Christmas. Let's just Fix it.

I remember sharing with a Jehovah's Witness who said the 'crucifix hanging on my neck was idolatry', and I said yes “I idolize Christ” and she said but “you cant make an idol out of the symbol by wearing it, we are not to wear graven images “.....tsk, then I shared {1st Corinthians 1:18 } how the preaching of the cross is unto them which perish, "foolishness" but unto us which are saved it is the power of God", and how there are graven images all around us, I asked, "do you have bowls in your home?", well that's a graven image after the likeness of things in heaven, and your cups are also, so get rid of all of them and pour drinks in your hand.  I also asked "do your kids play musical instruments?" well that’s also a graven image after the likeness of musical instruments in heaven, so pull them out of their music classes and get rid of the graven images. That's what some religious videos on social media are posting, trying to do away with the “whole” when it only requires getting rid of a few things within in that are questionable.   It is written in Romans 13:7 " Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor."

(Even the 3 wise men brought birthday gifts to Baby Jesus.) The JW mentioned we shouldn’t honor birthdays because it's idolatry, I mentioned how the Bible says in Romans Chapter 14, that we should 'let no one judge what days we honor especially if we are honoring the Lord'.
I mentioned how the Bible says in Matthew 7:11  how we "know how to give good gifts unto our children", and how Colossians 2:16 says 'let no man judge what days you honor' and Romans14: 1-23  says “some men esteem one day above another and another man esteems everyday alike, let everyone be persuaded in his own mind”.

We are making a mountain out of a mole-hill here with contention over pagan practices and it borders on blaspheming Christ.
Anytime you are against extra effort and the setting aside of a high day to honor the Lord, and are in a country that actually has declared it a National Holiday and you rebuke it, whose side are you really on?  I can see satan’s ministers being the only ones hating Christmas and seeking to rid the world of it while he makes halloween and devil's night bigger, brighter, more decorated and celebrated.  We need to be careful not to call so great a celebration in favor of our Lord's Birth a pagan expression!  The pagans worshipped the log, they idolized the tree, and we only use it as decor.  To "deck" means to decorate, it's in the Bible several times in a favorable sense, look it up. 
 [ they "decked" the tree and worshipped it ] [ Jer. 10:4 ]   Why bring ANY plants into the home for that matter?   Let's keep/get things into perspective.  Keep it in Context. You don’t rid the whole holiday, you rid the items of it that are questionable.

The commandment says that we not "make unto thee any graven image of any likeness in heaven or earth FOR TO WORSHIP IT"  Lev. 26:1  We decorate the tree we don’t worship it!  [ they "decked" the tree and worshipped it. [ Jer. 10:4 ]   

The scriptures she referred to were all about "worshipping" the graven images,  she mentioned that Barbie and Ken dolls and any dolls, are graven images and sin to have them; I said to her..."Well speaking of things we have that are graven images, made after the likeness of things in heaven, or earth or under water,...well there's chairs/thrones in heaven, trumpets, buildings, mansions and other items yet you have them, and you don't worship them". Exodus 20:5  The command is to "NOT WORSHIP A GRAVEN IMAGE: 
 Just because something is not observed in the Bible as a High-day doesn’t mean we can’t dedicate  High-Days to the Lord, It Is an Honor to Him, and He receives it. Everyday of the year was given by God, we reserve no days to the pagans, it all belongs to God who is to be honored everyday, including December 25th, don’t give satan anything!  It all belongs to God. Long Live Christmas Day til Kingdom Come !!!!!!!!

Should we honor the birthdays of dead presidents but not 
 formally recognize the Birth of the King of Kings?
