So that we may buy the poor [as slaves] for silver [since they are unable to support themselves] and the needy for a pair of sandals, and that we may sell the leftovers of the wheat [as if it were a good grade of grain]?” The Lord has sworn [an oath] by the pride of Jacob, “Surely I shall never forget [nor leave unpunished] any of their [rebellious] acts. “Because of this [coming judgment] will the land not quake and everyone mourn who dwells in it? Indeed, all of it shall rise up like the Nile, and it will be tossed around [from the impact of judgment] and [afterward] subside again like the Nile of Egypt. “It shall come about in that day,” says the Lord God, “That I shall cause the sun to go down at noon, and I shall darken the earth in broad daylight. “And I shall turn your festivals and feasts into mourning and all your songs into dirges (funeral poems to be sung); and I shall cause sackcloth to be put on everyone’s loins and baldness on every head [shaved for mourning]. And I shall make that time like a time of mourning for an only son [who has died], and the end of it shall be like a bitter day. “Behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord God, “When I will send hunger over the land, Not hunger for bread or a thirst for water, But rather [a hunger] for hearing the words of the Lord. “People shall stagger from sea to sea [to the very ends of the earth] and from the north even to the east; They will roam here and there to seek the word of the Lord [longing for it as essential for life], But they will not find it. “In that day the beautiful virgins and [even the vigorous] young men shall faint from thirst. “Those who swear [their oaths] by the sin (guilt) of Samaria or Ashimah (a pagan goddess), who say, by the life of your god [the golden calf], O Dan! And [swear], ‘By the life of the way of [idolatrous] Beersheba,’ they shall fall and not rise again.” Amos 8:4-14
For the time will come when people will not tolerate sound doctrine and accurate instruction [that challenges them with God’s truth]; but wanting to have their ears tickled [with something pleasing], they will accumulate for themselves [many] teachers [one after another, chosen] to satisfy their own desires and to support the errors they hold, and will turn their ears away from the truth and will wander off into myths and man-made fictions [and will accept the unacceptable]. 2 Timothy 4:3-4
Both
of these SCRIPTURES can be used to describe the state the “Church” is in today.
We have Mega Church Preachers are lulling {give false hope} the people with
FALSE TEACHINGS that ANGER GOD and HIS WRATH will be POURED OUT. It is time to WAKE UP, LISTEN and turn from
those Preachers who dishonor God with their EXTRAVAGANCE, EXCESS, PRIDE, and
FALSE TEACHINGS that you need to “live your best life now”. The MEGA CHURCHES
and even many smaller Evangelical Churches in AMERICA teach people it is OKAY
to DESIRE WEALTH leading by example, it is okay to divorce your spouse
{adultery and perversion in leadership is flowing over into the congregations},
it is okay to put yourself first {this generation has become a “ME” generation
that has forgotten to put Christ Jesus “FIRST” above all other things}, these
ministries focus on building bigger building to increase their numbers while
ignoring the poor, the widows, the
abandoned children who are God’s children in need. Jesus taught, “No one can serve two masters; for
either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the
one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon [money, possessions, fame, status, or
whatever is valued more than the Lord].” Matthew 6:24
Jesus also
commanded His followers to take care of those in need in the body of Christ as
well as those who are less fortunate in this world. Instead of taking care of
the Spiritual needs of ALL believers the “CHURCH” as a whole has decided who
they will help and who they deem unworthy of help. Those unworthy {foreigners,
immigrants, prisoners, orphans, widows and even God’s Rainbow Children
{LGBTQI+} are shunned from the “Church”. This action from the “Church” will
cause undo bitterness towards God and Christ Jesus because these people blame
God or Jesus for the actions of the “Church” who is supposed to be representing
the LOVING and CARING ARMS of GOD on earth. Heed the words of Christ Jesus
concerning caring for other believers. On the day of Judgment, Jesus will no
longer be granting mercy but will be giving out reward or punishment to those
who “Claim to be” His followers and those Who actually ARE TRUE FOLLOWERS.
“But when the Son of Man comes in His glory and
majesty and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His
glory. All the nations will be gathered before
Him [for judgment];
and He will
separate them from one another, as a shepherd separates his sheep from the
goats; and He will put the sheep on His right [the place of honor], and the goats on His left [the place of rejection]. “Then the King will say to those on
His right, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father [you favored
of God, appointed to eternal salvation], inherit the
kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to
eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a
stranger, and you invited Me in; I was naked, and you clothed Me; I
was sick, and you visited Me [with help and ministering
care]; I was in prison, and you came to Me [ignoring personal danger].’ Then the
righteous will answer Him, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry, and feed You, or
thirsty, and give You something to drink? And when did we see You as a
stranger, and invite You in, or naked, and clothe You? And when did we
see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ The King will answer and say to
them, ‘I assure you and most solemnly say to you, to the extent that you
did it for one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them,
you did it for Me.’ “Then
He will say to those on His left, ‘Leave Me, you cursed ones, into the eternal
fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels (demons); for I was hungry,
and you gave Me nothing to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me nothing
to drink; I was a stranger, and you did not invite Me in; naked,
and you did not clothe Me; sick, and in prison, and you did not visit Me [with help and
ministering care].’ Then they also [in their turn] will answer, ‘Lord,
when did we see You hungry, or thirsty, or as a stranger, or naked, or sick, or
in prison, and did not minister to You?’ Then He will reply to them, ‘I
assure you and most solemnly say to you, to the extent that you did not
do it for one of the least of these [my followers], you did not do it
for Me.’ Then these [unbelieving people] will go away into eternal (unending)
punishment, but those who are righteous and in right standing with God [will go, by His
remarkable grace] into eternal (unending) life.” Matthew 25:31-46
If you listen to these FAKE MINISTERS you will
see they have NO SUBSTANCE because it has become worldly teachings and NOT the
BIBLE that are the motivation for the sermons.
This
current generation of “Ministers” of the Gospel can be compared to the Scribes,
Pharisee’s and Sadducee's who controlled the “Church” during the days Christ
Jesus walked among mankind. Jesus said these “RELIGIOUS” men and women, who
were the teachers in the CHURCH, were hypocrites because they did NOT PRACTICE what
they PREACHED.
He, who has
ears to hear, let him hear and heed My words. “But to what shall I
compare this generation? It is like little children sitting in the market
places, who call to the others, and
say ‘We piped the flute for you [playing wedding], and you did not dance; we wailed sad dirges [playing funeral], and you did not mourn and
cry aloud.’ For John came neither eating
nor drinking
[with others], and
they say, ‘He has a demon!’ The
Son of Man came eating and drinking [with others], and they say, ‘Look, A glutton and a
drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners [including non-observant Jews]!’ Yet wisdom is justified and
vindicated by her deeds [in the lives of those who respond to Me].” Matthew 11:15-19
Jesus said, “I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and
earth [I
openly and joyfully acknowledge Your great wisdom], that You have hidden these things [these spiritual truths] from the wise and intelligent
and revealed them to infants [to new believers, to those seeking God’s will and purpose]. Yes, Father, for this way was
well-pleasing in Your sight. All
things have been handed over to Me by My Father; and no one fully knows and
accurately understands the Son except the Father; and no one fully knows and
accurately understands the Father except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son [deliberately] wills to reveals to Him. Matthew
11:25-27
Behind the second veil there was another
tabernacle [the inner one or second section] known as the Holy of Holies,
having the golden altar of incense and the Ark of the Covenant covered entirely
with gold. This contained a golden jar which held the manna, and the rod of
Aaron that sprouted, and the [two stone] tablets of the covenant [inscribed
with the Ten Commandments]; and above the ark were the [golden] cherubim of
glory overshadowing the mercy seat; but we cannot now go into detail about
these things. Hebrews 9:3-5
Those who claim to follow God or call
themselves “Christian” but NEVER do anything the Word of God tells them to do
end up creating idols in their lives that separate them from the Heavenly
Father. If these “believers” continue to live in their “hidden” sin God will
eventually give up on them allowing them to do whatever they want allowing
Satan to take control of what they do.
We are witnessing in this generation a
horde of Ministers who have decided to support EVIL over God even preaching
from the pulpits that their followers MUST support who the Pastor tells them to
support.
The Word of God says in Romans
1:21-32 that those FOLLOWERS of CHRIST JESUS exchanged the
TRUTH of GOD for a lie, even worshipping the creation of God {both men and
women} rather than the Creator of ALL things, GOD. Since those FOLLOWERS of GOD
made the choice to turn away from God, He gave them over to degrading and vile
passions. Even though these “FOLLOWERS of GOD” knew the punishment for their
sins they delighted in them and approved and tolerated other’s who did the
same. These “FOLLOWERS” started worshipping false gods even creating idols to
worship instead of the ONE TRUE GOD. They were even going to the “SHRINE TEMPLE
PROSTITUTES” to worship these false gods just as they were doing in the Old
Testament days found in Leviticus
18:22-23, 20:13 {also Scriptures used against the LGBTQI+ Community to
distract from who these Scriptures were actually referring to “followers of God”}
This is one of the most talked about and used verses in the New
Testament against the LGBTQI+ Community. Fortunately the TRUTH about this Word of God is the FACT
that it is talking about the FOLLOWERS of GOD who turned their backs on God;
NOT the LGBTQI+ Community. There are so many of these men and women in
the CHURCH today that are doing this very thing and the headlines are always
exposing the CORRUPTION in the CHURCH and in its LEADERSHIP.
Even though these followers knew God [as the
Creator]; they did not honor Him
as God or give thanks [for His wondrous creation]. On the contrary, they became
worthless in their thinking [godless, with pointless reasoning’s, and silly speculations], and their foolish heart was
darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory and majesty and
excellence of the immortal God for an image [worthless idols] in the shape of
mortal man and birds and four-footed animals and reptiles.
Vs.
21 {Anyone who attributes
the existence of the world to chance or to a different creator is already
guilty of deliberately rejecting God, because to deny the true God one must set
aside common sense}.
Vs.23
{Paul’s indictment of idolatry
(images) is logical and devastating. He emphasizes that idols are essentially
copies of living creatures, whether in human form (as, for example, in ancient
Greek myth) or otherwise (as in Egyptian idolatry and metaphysics). These
lifeless images are clearly powerless, and even the living creatures which they
supposedly represent are either nonexistent hybrids and monsters, or else
ordinary creatures on earth who could hardly create so much as a grain of sand.}
The next time someone tries to use this
passage of SCRIPTURE to CONDEMN you for being who GOD created you to be, let
them know the REAL PEOPLE this passage of SCRIPTURE is TALKING about. After
all, “The TRUTH will SET
you FREE John
8:31-32”
Now let us turn our focus to the last book
of the Bible with instruction for God’s Followers.
He, who has an ear, let him hear and
heed what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes [the world through believing
that Jesus is the Son of God], I will grant [the privilege] to eat
[the fruit] from
the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of God.
The one who overcomes the world is
described in 1 John 5:5
“Who is the one who is victorious and overcomes the world? It is
the one who believes and recognizes the fact that Jesus is the Son of
God.” 1 John 5:5
He, who has an ear, let
him hear and heed what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes [the world through believing
that Jesus is the Son of God] will not be hurt by the second death (the lake of fire). Revelation 2:11
He, who has an ear, let
him hear and heed what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who
overcomes
[the world through believing that Jesus is the Son of God], to him I will give [the privilege of eating] some of the hidden
manna, and I will give him a white stone with a new name engraved on the stone
which no one knows except the one who receives it. Revelation 2:17
1. This “hidden manna” probably refers
to the pot of manna placed in the Ark of the Covenant by Moses (Exodus 16:33;
Hebrews 9:4).
Manna was a food supernaturally provided to Israel by God during their
wanderings in the wilderness after the exodus from Egypt.
And he who overcomes [the world through believing
that Jesus is the Son of God] and he who keeps My deeds [doing things that please Me] until the [very] end, to him I will give authority and power over the nations; and
he shall shepherd and rule them with a rod of iron, as
the earthen pots are broken in pieces, as I also have received authority [and power to rule them] from My Father; and I will give him the Morning Star. He, who has an ear, let him hear and
heed what the Spirit says to the churches. Revelation 2:26-29
From reading the previous Scriptures I pray you now have a little better understanding
of just who God was referring to when giving instruction and punishment. Those
who chose to FOLLOW GOD are held at a HIGHER STANDARD than those who chose NOT
to follow GOD but follow the god of this world currently, Satan. It is apparent that God will give a GREAT PUNISHMENT to those who FOLLOW HIM, turn their back on HIM and glory in those who do the same.
It is my prayer that ALL {including LGBTQI+} who follow me will know that I too am just a human saved by Grace working out my own salvation through fear and trembling before God Almighty. Ephesians 2:8-9 and Philippians 2:12-13
It is my prayer that ALL {including LGBTQI+} who follow me will know that I too am just a human saved by Grace working out my own salvation through fear and trembling before God Almighty. Ephesians 2:8-9 and Philippians 2:12-13
If you do not want to spend an ETERNITY with Satan and his demons
burning in HELL, then you need to ask God to forgive you of your sins, ask
Christ Jesus to be your Savior, and turn your back on the sins of this world
and follow the ways of PURITY through the shed blood of Christ Jesus.
May
the peace of God rule in your life as you chose to FOLLOW HIM in SPIRIT and in
TRUTH {John
4:23-24, 1 John 4:6},
