A True Shepherd will lead you down the tough path not the easy road

Follow the True Shepherd away from the Wolves
in Sheep’s Clothing who are leading people down the WIDE road to destruction
and not the NARROW way to salvation {Matthew
7:13-14}.
The Word of God teaches us that we must be
on the lookout for the Wolves who have infiltrated the church leading God’s
people away from the TRUTH of His Word. In Matthew
7:15-20 we read, “Be wary of false preachers who smile a lot, dripping with practiced
sincerity. Chances are they are out to rip you off some way or other. Don’t be
impressed with charisma; look for character. Who preachers are is the main thing, not what they
say. A genuine leader will never exploit your emotions or your pocketbook.
These diseased trees with their bad apples are going to be chopped down and
burned.”
The presence of the antichrist in spirit is
more and more blatant. All medias and most things are infected. More than
Satan's basic system, it's now the world of the antichrist. And brainwashing is
only done to prepare people to welcome him in person with open arms.
“The Prosperity Gospel movement offers
people the same thing the Devil offers; they just do so in the name of Christ.”
~John MacArthur
The man of the world only sees the here and
now and invests his time for worldly gain, the man born of the spirit of God
sees things with an eternal perspective and invests wisely. For what does it benefit a man
to gain the whole world [with all its pleasures], and forfeit his soul?’ Mark
8:36
The World has watched the Church morph from
being a humble and loving place for people to learn about God, to a place of
social circles, back biting, name it and claim it people calling themselves “Christian”
when they exhibit no trace of being Christ Like in their lives. Preachers have
become idols that people worship by sending them all their money. These
Preachers have become accustomed to the ways of the world and love money, power
and the luxuries of this world more than the people or doing what God has
actually called them to do.
For there are many, of whom I have often
told you, and now tell you even with tears, who live as enemies of the cross of
Christ [rejecting and opposing His way of salvation], whose fate is destruction, whose god is their belly [their worldly appetite, their sensuality, their
vanity], and whose glory is in
their shame—who focus their mind on earthly and temporal things. Philippians
3:18-19
For people will be lovers
of self [narcissistic, self-focused], lovers of money [impelled by greed],
boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy and profane, [and they will be] unloving [devoid of natural human affection,
calloused and inhumane], irreconcilable, malicious gossips, devoid of
self-control [intemperate, immoral], brutal, haters of good, traitors, reckless, conceited, lovers of [sensual] pleasure
rather than lovers of God, holding to a form of
[outward] godliness (religion), although they have denied its power [for their
conduct nullifies their claim of faith]. Avoid such people and keep far away from them. 2
Timothy 3:2-5
By this you know and recognize the Spirit of God: every spirit that acknowledges and confesses [the fact] that Jesus
Christ has [actually] come in the flesh [as a man] is from God [God is its
source]; and every spirit that does not confess
Jesus [acknowledging that He has come in the flesh, but would deny any of the
Son’s true nature] is not of God; this is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming, and is
now already in the world. 1
John 4:2-3
There are many who have chosen to follow TV
personalities {like Oprah} who claim there are more than one way to get to God.
They continually try to prove their point by having FALSE MINISTERS {Carl
Lentz, T.D. Jakes, Joel Osteen} on their shows to tell people that they are
right and what the Word of God says is not right.
Acts
4:11-12 - This
Jesus is the stone which was despised and rejected by you, the builders, but which became the chief
Cornerstone. And there is salvation in no one else;
for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among people by
which we must be saved [for God has provided the world no alternative for
salvation].
1
John 4:9-10 - By this the love of God was displayed in us, in that God has sent His
[One and] only begotten Son [the One who is truly unique, the only One of His
kind] into the world so that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us
and sent His Son to be the propitiation [that is, the atoning sacrifice, and
the satisfying offering] for our sins [fulfilling God’s requirement for justice
against sin and placating His wrath].
Romans
3:22-25 - This
righteousness of God comes through faith in Jesus Christ for all those [Jew or
Gentile] who believe [and trust in Him and acknowledge Him as God’s Son]. There
is no distinction, since all have sinned and continually fall short of the glory
of God, and are being justified [declared free of
the guilt of sin, made acceptable to God, and granted eternal life] as a gift
by His [precious, undeserved] grace, through the redemption [the payment for
our sin] which is [provided] in Christ Jesus, whom
God displayed publicly [before the eyes of the world] as a [life-giving] sacrifice
of atonement and reconciliation
(propitiation) by His blood [to be received] through faith. This was to demonstrate His
righteousness [which demands punishment for sin], because in His forbearance
[His deliberate restraint] He passed over the sins previously committed [before
Jesus’ crucifixion].
We know that this is the accuser “Satan”
because he has been manipulating the Words of God since the beginning of time.
We know Satan
is the accuser by his FALSE and TWISTED WORDS. He often masquerades as an angel
of light. “As the truth of Christ is in me, my boast [of independence] will not be silenced in the regions of Achaia (southern Greece). Why? Because I do not love you [or wish you well, or have regard for your welfare]? God knows [that I do]! But what I am doing I will keep doing, [for I am determined to keep this independence] in order to cut off the claim of those who want an opportunity to be regarded just as we are in the things they brag about. For such men are counterfeit apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, since Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.” 2 Corinthians 11:10-14
Jude
The Warnings of History to the Ungodly
Jude, a bond-servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, [writes this letter], To those who are the called (God’s chosen ones, the elect), dearly loved by God the Father, and kept [secure and set apart] for Jesus Christ: May mercy and peace and love be multiplied to you [filling your heart with the spiritual well-being and serenity experienced by those who walk closely with God]. Beloved, while I was making every effort to write you about our common salvation, I was compelled to write to you [urgently] appealing that you fight strenuously for [the defense of] the faith which was once for all handed down to the saints [the faith that is the sum of Christian belief that was given verbally to believers]. For certain people have crept in unnoticed [just as if they were sneaking in by a side door]. They are ungodly persons whose condemnation was predicted long ago, for they distort the grace of our God into decadence and immoral freedom [viewing it as an opportunity to do whatever they want], and deny and disown our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ. Now I want to remind you, although you are fully informed once for all, that the Lord, after saving a people out of the land of Egypt, subsequently destroyed those who did not believe [who refused to trust and obey and rely on Him]. And angels who did not keep their own designated place of power, but abandoned their proper dwelling place, [these] He has kept in eternal chains under [the thick gloom of utter] darkness for the judgment of the great day, just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the adjacent cities, since they in the same way as these angels indulged in gross immoral freedom and unnatural vice and sensual perversity. They are exhibited [in plain sight] as an example in undergoing the punishment of everlasting fire.Nevertheless in the same way, these dreamers [who are dreaming that God will not punish them] also defile the body, and reject [legitimate] authority, and revile and mock angelic majesties. But even the archangel Michael, when he was disputing with the devil (Satan), and arguing about the body of Moses, did not dare bring an abusive condemnation against him, but [simply] said, “The Lord rebuke you!” But these men sneer at anything which they do not understand; and whatever they do know by [mere] instinct, like unreasoning and irrational beasts—by these things they are destroyed. Woe to them! For they have gone the [defiant] way of Cain, and for profit they have run headlong into the error of Balaam, and perished in the rebellion of [mutinous] Korah. These men are hidden reefs [elements of great danger to others] in your love feasts when they feast together with you without fear, looking after [only] themselves; [they are like] clouds without water, swept along by the winds; autumn trees without fruit, doubly dead, uprooted and lifeless;wild waves of the sea, flinging up their own shame like foam; wandering stars, for whom the gloom of deep darkness has been reserved forever.It was about these people that Enoch, in the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied, when he said, “Look, the Lord came with myriads of His holy ones to execute judgment upon all, and to convict all the ungodly of all the ungodly deeds they have done in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh and cruel things ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.” These people are [habitual] murmurers, griping and complaining, following after their own desires [controlled by passion]; they speak arrogantly, [pretending admiration and] flattering people to gain an advantage.
Keep Yourselves in the Love of God
But as for you, beloved, remember the [prophetic] words spoken by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ. They used to say to you, “In the last days there will be scoffers, following after their own ungodly passions.” These are the ones who are [agitators] causing divisions—worldly-minded [secular, nonspiritual, carnal, merely sensual—unsaved], devoid of the Spirit. But you, beloved, build yourselves up on [the foundation of] your most holy faith [continually progress, rise like an edifice higher and higher], pray in the Holy Spirit, and keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously and looking forward to the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ [which will bring you] to eternal life. And have mercy on some, who are doubting; save others, snatching them out of the fire; and on some have mercy but with fear, loathing even the clothing spotted and polluted by their shameless immoral freedom. Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling or falling into sin, and to present you unblemished [blameless and faultless] in the presence of His glory with triumphant joy and unspeakable delight, to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and power, before all time and now and forever. Amen.
Our Heavenly Father has
prepared a place for those who REJECT Jesus Christ whom He sent as a PERFECT
SACRIFICE for mankind’s sins. This is also the same place He has prepared for
Satan and his angels who rejected God {Matthew
25:41-43}. He has also prepared a place for those who chose to follow Jesus
Christ and accept Him as the Perfect Sacrifice for sin {John
14:1-3}.
It is time NOW to decide if
you will follow the FALSE TEACHERS in the MEGA CHURCHES around the world or
follow the ONE TEACHER who died for your eternal salvation from damnation.
John
14:6 - Jesus
said to him, “I
am the
[only] Way [to God] and the [real] Truth and the [real] Life; no one comes to the
Father but through Me.
Jesus Christ is the ONLY WAY
you will overcome the lies and deceptions of the enemy of God, Satan, who wants
nothing more than to drag you to the fiery pits of hell with him on Judgment
Day.
It is my prayer for all of
God’s creation, including His LGBTQI+ creation, to reject the lies of Satan and
his FALSE TEACHERS and turn towards the ONE Jesus Christ who can save your soul
from destruction.
You do not have to go to
Church, go to the front of the building, kneel down before a Preacher and ask
Jesus Christ into your heart. All you need to do is take the time right where
you are to say a simple prayer from your heart acknowledging the fact that you
do indeed need a Savior in your life. I have prepared a simple prayer of faith
if you want to give your life to the Lord Jesus Christ for ALL of God’s
Creation.
Prayer of Faith
Heavenly Father, I come to
You in the Name of Your Son Jesus Christ whom You sent to be the Perfect
Sacrifice for my Eternal Salvation. I acknowledge the fact that I need a Savior
to cleanse me from all my unrighteousness and to renew a right spirit in me so
I can once again be called your child. I thank you Father for the precious gift
of the cleansing blood of Jesus. Wash me now and make me whole. In Jesus Christ
precious name I pray, Amen.
If you have prayed this
prayer I encourage you to study the Word of God asking the Holy Spirit to guide
you into all TRUTH to help you on this new journey in your life. If you do not
have a Bible you can use an online Bible app so you can read and learn what the
God of all Creation wants to do in your life. I personally use BibleGateway online. Here you can
study from which ever translation is easiest for you to understand.
Blessings and Peace,
