Stop Sinning and Live!

The Lord God does not want to see you choose the path of sin. “I, the Lord God, don’t want to see that happen to anyone. So stop sinning and live!” (Ezekiel 18:32)

People accuse God of being unfair for having consequences for breaking his written laws, turning their backs on his Son and grieving Holy Spirit with their blatant disregard for truth. God’s answer: “But you still say that I am unfair. You are the ones who have done wrong and are unfair! I will judge each of you for what you’ve done. So stop sinning, or else you will certainly be punished. Give up your evil ways and start thinking pure thoughts. And be faithful to me!” (Ezekiel 18:29-31)

Every system of law and order needs rewards and punishment. You cannot have a holy, righteous God, and have no consequence for evil. “I, the Lord God, don’t like to see wicked people die. I enjoy seeing them turn from their sins and live.” (Ezekiel 18:23)

Whole nations are turning against God and trying to legislate him out of people’s lives. The leaders have chosen the sin of unbelief, and they are determined to drag everyone down with them. Deception abounds. Service to satan is chosen, believing in the lies that earthly fame, power and money will somehow follow that person into eternity.

“…nations fell into their own pits, and their feet were caught in their own traps. You showed them what you are like, and you made certain that justice is done, but evil people are tapped by their own evil deeds. The wicked will go down to the world of the dead to be with those nations that forgot about you…let them all discover just how weak they are.” (Psalm 9:15-17, 20)

This is God’s truth: There is eternal consequence for earthly choices.  Death does not lead to “nothingness – cessation of existence,” reincarnation and a “second chance,” being placed as gods on another planet, a reward of 72 virgins, or a frat party in hell.” The Bible, God’s inerrant truth states that each person will die and then be judged for their choices for time spent upon this earth. Examine your life and past decisions. Are you ready to face your maker?

Praise the Lord for His Love Never Ends: War in the Spirit with Songs of Thanksgiving

How do you win the battle raging for your soul and keep the Lord’s glory near you? Trust the Lord in all things, never stop being grateful for all the good in your life, listen to God’s faithful servants — prophets chosen by Him, and sing his praises as you live a life of consecration, devotion and service to the great I AM. He will march in front of you, winning battle after battle for you. Arise and stand. Let the glory of the Lord shine from you as a light to the nations.

“…Listen my friends, if we trust the Lord God and believe what these prophets have told us, the Lord will help us, ad we will be successful. Then he explained his plan and appointed men to march in front of the army and praise the Lord for his holy power by singing:

‘Praise the Lord! His love never ends.’ As soon as they started singing, the Lord confused the enemy camp.” (2 Chron. 20:20-21)  Notice the verse marking: 20/20. Like 20/20 vision! Perfect eyesight consists of keeping your eyes on the Lord and continually singing His praises. This confuses the enemy/darkness…evil cannot stand against the free offer of love to our Savior through praise singing!

“Shout praises to the Lord, everyone on this earth. Be joyful and sing as you come in to worship the Lord!” (Psalm 100:1-2) CEV

As  Holy Spirit was directing this post, (Posted on 2 October 2016 by was having this prophetic/explanation dream of the power of praise to an African village: https://www.hiskingdomprophecy.com/dream-my-love-in-an-african-village/ which is just fascinating. Please read it for yourself.

How determined are you to be worthless and disobedient?

As in modern 21st Century living, the people living when 2 Kings was written were determined to be worthless before God. Preachers today keep telling us that all people have worth before God their maker and that is true. Every soul living has the chance to turn freely in appreciation to God and be thankful for his salvation plan, repent of wickedness and disobedience, and turn their hearts and minds with Holy Spirit’s help towards God.

But hear this well. What if a person is DETERMINED to spit on God’s offer and walk away? My heart breaks with all the “pride” events and shaking of fists in God’s face. They deeply grieve God as well. “Even though the Lord had commanded…not to worship idols, they did it anyway…they were as stubborn as their ancestors who had refused to worship the Lord Their God. They ignored the Lord’s warnings and commands, and they rejected the solemn agreement he had made with their ancestors.” (2 Kings 17: 12, 14-15)

See if you see modern humanity in this indictment: “They worshiped worthless idols and became worthless themselves. The people disobeyed all the commands of the LORD their God….they also worshiped the stars (astrology/science fiction/comic book heroes) and the god Baal (thousands of cults in operation today that don’t follow Jesus to salvation). They used magic and witchcraft (looking for knowledge and consorting with evil spirits outside of God’s Holy Spirit) and even sacrificed their own children (modern abortion has killed millions voluntarily). They were determined to do everything the LORD hated.” 2 Kings 17: 15-17)

God replies: “…I will say it again: Do not worship any god except me. I am the LORD your god, and I will rescue you from all your enemies.” (2 Kings: 38-39) Notice the promise on the end. God is willing to rescue you from your greatest enemy of your eternal soul, Satan, who desires to drag you down to his kingdom of hell upon your demise. If you draw your last breath determined to rebel against God, He will graciously let you have your way, but you will have become worthless instead of worthy to enter into eternal reward with his son Jesus Christ as the gatekeeper. Jesus is the ultimate model of worthiness.

Consider John, the apostle’s eyewitness account of the end of time (which we are fast approaching), when he is translated to heaven to inscribe for all time in the last book of God’s Holy Bible, Revelation< how this age would end. “I saw a mighty angel ask with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals (which begins the final judgment cycle on an unrepentant, sin-filled world)? John records that he “cries hard because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or see inside it. Then one of the elders said to me, Stop crying and look! The one who is called both the ‘Lion from the Tribe of Judah’ and ‘King David’s Great Descendant’ (Jesus) has won the victory. He will open the book and its seven seals.” (Rev. 5: 2, 4-5). Finally, millions upon millions of angels and the redeemed of Christ say together in a loud voice the very truth of God: “The Lamb who was killed is worthy to receive power, riches, wisdom,strength, honor, glory and praise.” (Rev. 5:11-12) Notice that not one sports star, musician, famed politician, film maker, etc. is considered worthy to follow with your trust that they will save you.

Worthy… Worthless…where you choose to place your trust and allegiance will have eternal consequences.  Choose Jesus Christ this day. Place your trust in God’s worthy son.

“…God is begging you to listen to our message…Make peace with God.” (2 Corinthians 5:20)

God has given mankind the privilege  of partnering with Him for the last 2,000 years since Jesus Christ was resurrected and returned to heaven to bring the good news of salvation to our lost world. “God has done it all! He sent Christ to make peace between himself and us, and he has given us the work of making peace between himself and others. What we mean is that God was in Christ, offering peace and forgiveness to the people of this world. And he has given us the work of sharing his message about peace.” (2 Corinth. 5: 18-19)

Turn to God, your father, before the coming day when disaster strikes and the age of grace ends. Just as this era had a definite beginning point with Christ’s atonement for our sin at Calvary’s cross in Jerusalem, there will be a definite end when this age of grace closes and the judgments against people who continually choose evil and mock Holy Spirit begins. The eternal God longs that none of us would perish without a freewill choice to accepts his salvation, freely offered. Jesus has been knocking on the “door” (or entry point to your soul) of your heart for your whole lifetime. “We (first century apostles of Jesus) were sent to speak for Christ, and God is begging you to listen to our message. We speak for Christ and sincerely ask you to make peace with God. Christ never sinned! But God treated him as a sinner, so that Christ could make us acceptable to God.” (2 Corinth. 5: 20-21)

Being a stubborn, arrogant fool and rejecting God will have eternal consequences – forever and ever and ever. “The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God.” (Psalm 14:1)

Do not align yourself with scoffers and mockers of God. Recently at the Decision America tour with Franklin Graham in Madison, Wisconsin, people from the FFRF (Freedom From Religion Foundation) were holding signs that boldly proclaimed: UNABASHED ATHEIST – NOT AFRAID OF BURNING IN HELL. They may not be afraid of it, but their rejection of hell does not make it any less real. People who have been granted visits to hell in the 21st Century as part of his mercy and telling of truth have come back to earth very, very afraid of that place of eternal damnation and torment where the body is given over to those very same demons of destruction and lying that were embraced by the arrogant on earth by virtue of their rejection of Holy Spirit. Some form of spirit will be within you or against you upon cessation of your earthly body. Choose that which is holy and pure and good. Now I am begging you as well as your creator, God.

“The Lord…is longsuffering towards us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.”(2 Peter 3:9)

Proud of your accomplishments but your heart is far from God?

Pride in your earthly accomplishments without a heart committed to God is faith in your own resources and a misplaced pride that YOU gave yourself your talents, abilities, possessions, career, intellect and wealth. Be careful! God’s word says he exalts the humble (who acknowledge Him as their maker and the giver of all good and perfect gift) and puts down the proud (who trust in themselves).

Of what, then, should you be proud? The Bible says to have pride that you are a child of God: “Let me prosper with the rest of your chosen ones, as they celebrate with pride because they belong to you.” Psalm 106:5 How do you become a “chosen one?” By YOU CHOOSING to trust in God’s promise that he sent his son Jesus to forgive you of your sins, including pride and arrogance in your own abilities to save yourself without him.

A day will come when your pride will not be enough. You will be alone and scared without a savior. Turn to God and claim this promise: “When you are suffering and in need, he will come to your rescue, and your families will grow as fast as a herd of sheep. You will see this because you obey the Lord, but everyone who is wicked will be silenced.” Psalm 107: 41-42

God who creates all beauty finds this type of woman to be particularly beautiful

Many modern women spend an extraordinary amount of effort and money trying to make themselves more attractive with the use of “sex” appeal. Resources given as gifts from god such as time and money are used not for His kingdom, but for perfect hairdo’s and styling equipment, make-up and perfume, expensive jewelry and gems, mountains of clothes — some quite suggestive and not modest — and beauty and spa treatments, not to mention gym memberships to keep that body looking fine.

Except that God, who carefully crafts each woman before she is born, is completely satisfied with a woman’s outside beauty from birth. He values a woman’s inward beauty.  What kind of special gift can you willingly give to the Lord who already has everything? 1 Peter 3: 3-4 explains God’s heart toward women. “Don’t depend on things like fancy hairdos or gold jewelry or expensive clothes to make you look beautiful. Be beautiful in your heart by being gentle and quiet. This kind of beauty will last, and God considers it very special.”

What about the beauty of holiness and consecration as a bride of Christ? How much time, effort and money are you spending preparing yourself to become more like Christ as a wedding gift for your bridegroom, Jesus Christ? All else will be left behind and not have eternal value. Also read Proverbs 31 for another description of a beautiful woman after God’s own heart.

What your pastor is not telling you about sin’s consequences. Do NOT be deceived!

Pastors and preachers who want to keep their congregations happy and coming back have fallen into the trap of teaching ALL AROUND THE VITAL TRUTH that there is a whole long Biblical list of those sins which will keep a person out of heaven, whether or not you claim to know who Jesus is. If you are not changing your life to one of holiness and consecration, a turning away from the sins of the world which I will list, then you do not really believe (by your own actions) that there is coming a day of judgment where our heavenly Father will be pleased with you and invite you into His kingdom, or not — with eternal consequences. also, there is a time element at work. Jesus will soon return for the estimated 10% of self-professed Christians who are 1) looking for him eagerly, and 2) about their Father’s business of mercy, kindness, love and faith without the stain of unconfessed sin.

“But all who are wicked will keep on strutting, while everyone praises their shameless deeds.” Psalm 12:8

Examine yourselves — your souls. What is the condition of your heart towards Father God? Do you yearn for Jesus, your bridegroom, to appear? Are you living a life well pleasing to Holy Spirit? Are you studying and memorizing scripture — the word of God? Do you pray constantly? Are you merciful and quick to forgive?

Your future depends on you taking a careful look at the list that follows. Do you see yourself in any of these categories? Sins can be forgiven, but you must tell God you are sorry (repent) and then CHANGE. NO CHANGE MEANS YOU ARE NOT REALLY SORRY.  GOD KNOWS THE DIFFERENCE. He reads your every thought. Taken from 1 Corinth. 6:9-10    Do you not know that the wicked (evil people) will not inherit (share in the blessings) of God’s kingdom?        DO NOT BE DECEIVED. (DON’T FOOL YOURSELVES!) NO ONE who is sexually immoral or worships idols or is unfaithful in marriage or is a pervert or behaves like a homosexual will share in God’s kingdom. Neither will any thief or greedy person or drunkard or anyone who curses and cheats others.

Each of the categories above could be broken down into many more wrong doings that would grieve Holy Spirit by dirtying your soul. So very many people claim those sins were only for then. Us “modern” people can’t really be held to these standards, can we? I have news for you. We will be held to these standards. God is holy and looking for a holy people. Our world has become so filthy dirty with sins that we can hardly recognize decent, moral behavior any more. People who follow Christ truly and fully are called names and mocked for “not being with it” or “uncool.” This deception plays right into Satan’s kingdom. Make no mistake. The Bible, God’s word which will stand forever, tells us plainly about choice and that Hell is a real place.

“But there will be rewards for those who live right and tell the truth, for those who refuse to take money by force or accept bribes, for all who hate murder and violent crimes.” Isaiah 33:15

“The god (satan) of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God,”   2 Corinthians 4:4.

Just because a person has a self-given title of pastor, priest, leader, apostle, etc. does not mean that they are fully committed to a personal relationship with God’s son for salvation, Jesus Christ. Be careful! Use Holy Spirit’s discernment. If God came tonight for His true believers, would your spiritual leader actually be among them? God examines each person’s heart and thoughts. Just working in the “religious” business for a paycheck does not make you a true follower of Jesus’ atoning work on the cross to conquer the kingdom of darkness and death.
