LIES UPON LIES Bible Study 

This world is crumbling at the seems, due to the devilish schemes that satan loves to play, especially in the minds of our young kids and adults. I have attended a funeral of a young teenager who has committed suicide within the past few months, as I was sitting there, I was reflecting on all of the Church services that I have heard and all the Bible studies that I have done, and the torment that I went through at an early age, it really helped me to connect the dots and brought me more closer to God than what I was before, it really maid a great impact in my heart and soul. Just last week, I was on my way to pick up my son to take him to school, he lives with his mom and taking him to school is the only way I get to spend time with him, these day's, when I was leaving my place to pick him up, I saw a young teenager walking to her bus stop, with a lit cigaret in her hand, I shook my head and realized that satan is truly hard at work, claiming lives after lives. This past Saturday there was a funeral for another young teen who had committed suicide, he was at the age of 13 years old. I was asked by my pastor if I would be interested in helping by setting up chairs for it. I have lost my mom around the age of 5 months old, she was murdered, her life was snuffed out around the age of 18. So I do truly have a full understanding and know what its like to loose a loved one. I lived with my aunt on my mothers side of the family, she raised me, from what I can tell, she did a great job through the power of God. She kept me in the Church through my young years and even today, I am still walking very close with God and studying His Word everyday. 

About 13.7 minutes, there are someone who is committing suicide and dieing from it, here is a rate count from 1993-2010.

This is unreal and if you have kids, then I want to encourage you to get active in their lives, starting today and help them cope through their problems and get them involved in a good solid Bible based Church, so they can learn the difference, between right and wrong and help come to know God and teach them how to get right with God. Its vere important to know what God's Word say's and to have a full understanding of His Word, so when you face many difficulties of any kind, you will know how to handle them and know how to answer the unsaved and un believers and how to handle them. I can relate to the familys who are struggling through these really tough times, my heart goes out to them. We really don't know what is going on in the minds of our youth and some of the adults in this sinful world. If you have kids, you need to help them to become stronger and the best way to do that is to be there for them and it truly will help if you have them to take time out, at least 1 hour a day of their lives, to open the Holy Bible and read and study it, it could save your life and theirs. If you meditate on sin long enough, then you will end up living in  and doing sin and sinful activities. If you meditate on the Word of God and read the Bible regularly, then you will not just speak righteous  words, you will also live righteously and take part in righteous activities, that is in God's Will for your life, friends, death has no age limit, you need to live wisely and not foolishly. God created you to live to the fullest for Him and not satan. If you are living in sin, you are hell bound, there is no in between, if you think its ok to take your life and make it to heaven still? Your dead wrong. Suicide is breaking every spoken commandment of God's Word, if you break just one law and sin, you broke them all, your lieing, stealing, your murdering, here,  I will show you in scripture; 

ONE: 'You shall have no other gods before Me.' 

TWO: 'You shall not make for yourself a carved image--any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.' 

THREE: 'You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.' 

FOUR: 'Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.' 

FIVE: 'Honor your father and your mother.' 

SIX: 'You shall not murder.' 

SEVEN: 'You shall not commit adultery.' 

EIGHT: 'You shall not steal.' 

NINE: 'You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.' 

TEN: 'You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey,  nor anything that is your neighbor's.' 

Smoking is suicide and so is drinking alcohol, you have broken them all as well, you have killed your relationship with God and your not dead here on earth yet, so you still have a chance to repent, get baptized by water and still make it to heaven, but if your still doing such things, you will not make it. God's Word is very clear on it, just study the Holy Bible, I hope you all will wake up before its to late. For most of you, satan has already claimed your life and you are subject to be devoured, by your poor choices. If this message that is being shared here today doesn't change your life style right here and now, nothing will and you will remain lost for all eternity. I do not watch much news any more, they tend to bring me down, so I try to avoid them, however, I do pay attention to the news that is worth listening too, and I will share about what is to come, like the Obama's  RFID Chips and whatever scheme that he has up his sleeve that is by satan, that is information that the local news won't tell you about and that is the news that we need to know and warn others about. There are people who are so corrupted with satan's lies and I believe that they would be the ones who would take this 666 chip and the eternal game will be all over for them, it will be to late and there is no repenting from it. The Bible even gives full warning bout it, so you can't say that you have not been warned, lets take a look in God's Word; 

Revelation 13:16 - 13:18 

16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number [is] Six hundred threescore [and] six. 

Daniel 7:23 

Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth,  and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. 

Daniel 7:5 - 7:7 

5 And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and [it had] three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh. 6 After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it. 7 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it [was] diverse from all the beasts that [were] before it; and it had ten horns. 

Revelation 13:10 

He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. 

1 Thessalonians 5:21 

 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. 

Malachi 3:6 

For I [am] the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. 

Matthew 24:14 

And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. 

2 Timothy 3:16 - 3:17 

16 All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. 

Hosea 4:5-6 

5You stumble day and night, and the prophets stumble with you. So I will destroy your mother, now pay close attention to verse 6, my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. This means that if you lack in knowledge of God's Word, well, I believe you can figure it out from here. 

No one can serve two masters; 

Luke 16:13 

"No servant can serve two masters. 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 both God and Money." I have heard people say that you don't have to change for anyone, you just need to be you for you. They are right on one part, but they are completely wrong on another. I know for sure that the sinners who say's such things are missing the mark and the whole picture all together. I believe you can see clearly why God has instructed me to call this lesson, lies upon lies Bible study. 

Everyday people are lieing and can't tell the Truth of God to save their lives. You don't have to change to make anyone happy, that is correct, however, the statement you just need to just be you, is a lie and false doctrine that is leading people right to hell, even before they are dead here on earth. You are to live for one purpose and that is for God, by following Jesus Christ. We are to please one person, that is God Almighty, by living and following Jesus Christ so we can be in heaven for all of eternity. I have heard people make statements like, all you have to do is to believe in God and you can go to heaven, which is another lie and false doctrine, people are being lead to hell by pastors who claim they know the Truth but they don't preech it, they tend to sugar coat it. Yea, even the demons in hell believe in God, they rejected God so now they are where they will stay. Friends, I am telling you this for your own good and for your spiritual goodness. People will reject me and God's Word because of the name and Truth of Jesus Christ but hey, they rejected Jesus for doing God's Work too. Work without faith is dead. people will reject God because of this and turn away, they will probably  get rejected by God for the lack of knowledge anyway. If you are living and following the Words that Jesus Christ has spoken in 

scripture, meaning by following through with your faith in Jesus Christ, by Hearing the Gospel of Christ, Believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, Repent of all his past sins, Confess that Christ is God’s Son and  Be baptized for the remission of sins, you then will be saved. You will be baptized by the Holy Spirit at the completion of Baptism and it must be done in water, not sprinkled, not pored and you must have a full understanding of why you are being baptized, baby's don't have an understanding of any of it, so it does not apply to infants and it's not biblical. Any person who practices such things is practicing false doctrines and false religions. 

Mark Chapter 16:16 16He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. You not only have to believe in God to be saved, you also need to follow through with what God has commanded us to do. What does one have to do in order to be forgiven of his sins? He must 

(1) Hear the Gospel of Christ; 

(2) Believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God; 

(3) Repent of all his past sins; 

(4) Confess that Christ is God’s Son; 

(5) Be baptized for the remission of sins. 

When he does this, he is added by the Lord to His church (Acts 2:41,47). He is born again (John 3:3-5; 2 Corinthians 5:17).  He is in Christ where all spiritual blessings are to be found. (Ephesians 1:3; Galatians 3:26,27). In short, he is a Christian (Acts 11:26; 26:28; As we close in prayer tonight, give your heart, your souls to God, lay your sins and burdens and bad habits at the foot of the cross and turn 180 degrees away from it and walk away and never bring them back to your mind. You can't continue in living in that bad life style and expect to go to heaven. Don't let your old habits be your God. Turn to Jesus Christ today and let God be your guide and not sin. 

Jesus Christ did not die on the cross so you can continue in your sins so you can die and go to hell, He died to save you from going to hell. This book, the Holy Bible is very clear on how you are to live. If you are living by the lies upon lies of sinful men, you will not make it. I want to invite you to come and get right with God before its too late. We have discussed it on how to get right with God and how to gain eternal life. If you wish to get right, I want to encourage you to get a hold of me and I will be glad to baptize you into Christ. If you wish to go to a Church and have a baptism done there, then I want to encourage you to find a good solid strong Bible based Church and get it done. I want to encourage you to find a good, solid and strong Bible based Church regardless, so you may be fed with the right doctrine of God's Word. You should know now on what you need to do in order to gain eternal Salvation to Heaven.  Lets pray. 

Bible Study about being BRAIN WASHED

Bible Study for 1/21/2013

Bible Study about being BRAIN WASHED 

It is very hard being a Christian these day's and to live up to God's expectations, but it must be done. I have dealt with people who have been taught that you can drink, smoke, curse, push drugs, kill, suicide and the list could go on, they think that there is nothing wrong with it and you still will go to heaven. Guess again?. You have been brain washed by false teachings and by false doctrine. You can fix that by re-accepting Jesus Christ as your savior, confessing to God, that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God, Repenting all of your sins to God and the most of important, along with everything else, be immersed by water, in baptism, to receive God's Holy Spirit, meaning being blessed and baptized by the Holy Spirit, at the completion of being immersed, you will also be blessed with eternal Salvation, through Jesus Christ. There are many teachers and preachers who are leading others to hell and too blind to realize it. I have ran into people who would say that the sinful activities that they take part in is who they are, that is not correct and is a lie. What you do, is not who you are, that is the scheme of the devil. Satan will make what is wrong, look like something that is right, you are and have been deceived in the worst way and you have been brain washed and deceived.

1 Corinthians 3:16-17 16Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you? 17If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is sacred, and you are that temple.

Ephesians 4:22-24 To put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.

1 John 2:15-17 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world— the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride in possessions—is not from the Father but is from the world. And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever. God created man with and for a purpose. He created us to live and to serve Him only. Thanks to Eve and Adam for inviting the devil to being the ruler of this world. I mentioned Eve first, it was Eve who sinned against God first and lead Adam into sin.

God is the real ruler of the world, until satan entered the world, God stepped back and told us, because of sin, I have nothing to do with it, if anyone who wants to be with me, he must pick up his cross and follow me, God came to us as Jesus Christ to demonstrate on what we need to do to be saved.

Like is say's in Luke 9:23-27 Jesus tells us; “If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. 24For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will save it. 25What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit his very self? 26If anyone is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels. 27I tell you the truth, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God.” He said that before he was baptized in the river, that tells me and should show and tell you, that you have to be baptized by water, in order to gain eternal life in heaven, which is our Salvation.

In verse 23, Jesus said, “If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. He said that before He was baptized, if you don't understand it, just restudy and meditate on it on your own, if you need to discuss it, then get a hold of me and I will be gladly to help you through it, to help you understand it. If you are addicted to anything and can't stay away from it, it is not only an addiction and a bad habit, it also is your God.

If you have a thought of smoking or drinking to get drunk, or anything, if you think about it long enough, then your actions will be just that and that sinful thought, becomes who you are. If something has taken control of you and you can't live without it, then it is your god and master, not the real God.

Those who tends to argue about things like this or even just arguing about what God tells us on any subject, is actually fighting against the Holy Spirit, which is God. That is a battle that you will loose in. If you meditate on God's Word long enough and on His will, you will end up doing His Will, instead of the sinful habits and sinful actions. There are too many people who are blinded by satan's darkness and they can't see the Truth, so they will argue with the messenger, stop it, your putting yourselves into more danger with the Holy Spirit of God, that will not be good at all for you.

The ones who has an addiction of any kind, they tend to make up every excuss in the book, to why they don't want to quit and I have heard them all.

Romans 13:14 “But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.”

1 Corinthians 6:18 “Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.”

1 Corinthians 10:13 “There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.”

2 Corinthians 5:17 “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”

James 1:12-15 “Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: But 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.”

James 4:7 “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin [is] death; but the gift of God [is] eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. If you desire to follow and live your life to please the flesh and not God? Then that sinful act is what is truly in your heart, its called bad fruit.

Matthew 7:18-23 (New International Version)

18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them. 21 "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' 23 Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'

<< Matthew 7:17Matthew 7:18-23Matthew 7:24 >>

Who is your god that you serve? 

Is it your filthy habits, meaning satan?

Is it God, Jesus Christ?

If Jesus Christ is your God and master, then you need to kick that sinful activity to the curb and leave it. No one can serve two masters, like it is written in Matthew 6:24; "No one can serve two masters. 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 both God and Money. Friends, you may not realized that the poor and bad choices you make, can lead you to hell.

Your habits will make you spread lies like wild fire and will make you say things that is bunch of bologna, I have lived on the other side of the fence for a very short time to know, the difference between right and wrong. The path that I saw that it leads to, is very ugly. For some of you, yes, its too late. Most of you have listened to the lies way too long. For most of you, its not too late to turn all of that garbage around. You can fix it all by getting your brains unbrain washed. Most of you are just like, what I call monkey see, monkey do syndrome. Many of you also live just like a computer, if you put garbage into a computer, what comes out? Garbage out. If you feed God's healthy Words into your brains, study and meditate on God's Word long enough, that garbage will soon be destroyed by God's Holy Word. If your going to Church services on a regular basis to hear the Word of God, not just hearing it, but living it, that sinful habit and sinful activities will come to a stop in your life. If you are choosing and still making poor choices in your life and still living in sin and still doing your poor habits, then you are not listening to the Word of God.

What about alcohol?

What Are the Dangers of Alcoholism?

Alcoholism is the consumption of alcohol to the point where it interferes with your physical and mental health and has harmful effects on your relationships, employment and other aspects of your life. It's marked by a craving for alcohol, difficulty or inability to stop drinking once you've started, a tolerance for alcohol (meaning you need to consume more to achieve the same effect), and a dependence on alcohol to the point where you become physically ill if you don't have a drink. More than 17 million Americans are considered alcoholics, according to the National Institutes of Health. They face the dangers of alcoholism every day.

Liver Damage

A healthy liver aids digestion and other body processes and helps detoxify the body by getting rid of "poisons" such as alcohol. If you consume more alcohol than your liver can process, the liver can be damaged, and its ability to break down fats, proteins and carbohydrates becomes compromised. Liver damage progresses from fatty liver to alcoholic hepatitis to cirrhosis, in which healthy liver tissue is replaced by scar tissue. Quitting drinking can reverse the damage of fatty liver and alcoholic hepatitis. Cirrhosis of the liver, however, is non-reversible, but quitting drinking and taking other healthy steps and medications can keep the damage from getting worse.

Cardiovascular Complications

The Women's Heart Foundation reports that alcoholism can lead to high blood pressure and alcoholic cardiomyopathy, a condition marked by an enlarged but weakened heart. Alcohol abuse -- defined as taking more than three alcoholic drinks per day over a sustained period of time -- is also linked to a higher risk of stroke and congestive heart failure. By contrast, moderate alcohol consumption is associated with higher HDL ("good" cholesterol) and protection against arterial disease.

Cognitive Dysfunction

Alcoholism can lead to impaired reasoning, judgment and memory. Excessive alcohol consumption can have a toxic effect on brain tissue. Abstinence and medication may help restore some cognitive ability and brain function, but some damage may be irreversible.

Depression

Alcohol and depression are often intertwined. Depressed people are at a higher risk of alcohol and drug abuse, as well as other unhealthy lifestyle choices, such as inactivity, overeating, risk-taking and failure to take necessary medications. However, a study published in the March 2009 issue of Archives of General Psychiatry found that alcohol abuse can lead to depression, rather than heavy drinking simply being the result of depression. Clearly, alcoholism and depression and the warning signs of both conditions should be carefully monitored.

Personal Problems

Alcoholism can affect workplace performance, which can lead to job loss. Alcoholics can miss work with hangovers or drink during working hours, which can impair performance or put them, co-workers or others in jeopardy. Family and romantic relationships usually suffer, as do friendships. Alcoholics can be physically or verbally abusive or neglectful of the needs of family members, all of which contribute to divorce and other family problems. These habits, smoking or a drinker, is an abominations to God, its all act of suicide and murder.

Lets take a close look at a few of the 10 commandments of God's law, I bet you have broken them all;

3 “You shall have no other gods before[a] me. 4 “You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. 5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, 6 but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments. 7 “You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name. 8 “Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns. 11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy. 12 “Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you. 13 “You shall not murder. 14 “You shall not commit adultery. 15 “You shall not steal. 16 “You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor. 17 “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.” You have broken everyone of them and the real bad part of it is, you did this against God, your creator and master, you have sentenced yourselves to hell. God did not design the temple you live in, to take in such filth. But wait, God sent his very own Son, Jesus Christ to save you from eternal damnation.

How can we be saved?

(1) Hear the Gospel of Christ; 

(2) Believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God; 

(3) Repent of all his past sins; 

(4) Confess that Christ is God’s Son; 

(5) Be baptized for the remission of sins, by water immersion

You must turn 180 degrees away from your sins and live right in God's sight, if you don't, you will fail your promise with God and it makes you out to be a liar to God. As we close out prayer tonight, I want you to focus on what your struggling with and leave it at the foot of the cross and walk away from it tonight. If you have been baptized for the forgiveness of your sins and you have turned back to your evil habits and your feeling out of place with God tonight? I want to extend a time for baptism if you wish to get right with God and want to clean up your selfish act and be reborn again and make it to heaven, let me know after we close out. Lets pray. 

TRANSFORMATION Bible Study

God has created us to live for Him here on this earth and to serve Him. Many people who are the followers of satan would say things like, you don't have to live to please others, you need to live your life for what is best for you, that is all that matters. I have been into some Churches that say the same things, they would say that you do not have to be baptized to go to heaven, they would say that all you have to do is believe and you can go to heaven.

Most Churches teach false doctrine and teaching lies upon lies.

If you think that a pastor is preaching false doctrine, all you have to do is compare what he says with the Bible.

If He is speaking the Truth, then it will match up to the Words of God. In order to have the transformation to happen in your life, you need to stop living like rest of the world. When you accept Jesus Christ into your heart and want a change in your life, you need to deny yourself and allow God to make the change in you. You are not changing to make another person happy, like what the rest of the world may think, you are making the changes in your life and walk with God, because that is what God's Will is for your life. When the changes takes charge in your life, your craving for the sins of the world will come to a complete stop, your desires will become God's desires. You will want to starve and thirst for God's way for your life, that is God's Will for you. God's Will is this, He wants you to live your life to the fullest, for Him and Him only.

Romans 12:2 and 2 Corinthians 5:17 tells us this;

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

2 Corinthians 5:17

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. Once you have maid that change in your life, you have no more time and rights to have sin in your life and to live in sin any longer, but wait, there is more to learn. You need to hear the Gospel of Christ

How do we grow our faith in God?

1. Feed your faith: receive a measure of faith from God, through receiving the Word of God -- by studying the Bible. According to Romans 10:17, "So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God." Faith does not come mainly by praying, begging or fasting or Romans 10:17 would only be a suggestion. The Bible does say "pray always"; so, an attitude of prayer is essential, but faith comes by hearing and then applying the Word of God. You must continue to read and study the Word of God (The Bible) so that your faith will grow. II Thessalonians 1:3, "your faith grows exceedingly. " by living in God's promises in the Bible.

2. Check the Bible where it says Jesus Christ had the [full] faith of God without measure. He is the living word of God.[3] Faith is called a "fruit of the Holy Spirit" that Jesus promised to send after he went to the Father. This may be noticed in the reborn person's spirit even at difficult times; not just on your best days:

Galatians 5:22
The fruit of the Holy Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.

3. Be born again as a believer by repentance (turning around) and continuing in Christ, so that you will receive within you a measure of faith and the Spirit of God and you must be baptized by water.

John 3:5
Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That means that if you have been born again, then you will have some portion of the nature of God as the Word says. So no one has an excuse:

Romans 12:3
3 For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you.

This tells me that you cannot be blessed by the Holy Spirit until the completion of Baptism. Let faith arise in you, and it can in the area of unseen things that you believe -- within God's will, so then it can be applied to you and actualized by you. You will see results by faith. This is not just a hope; it is the way of God for access to the things of God.

4.Love your brother. How can you love God whom you have not seen -- if you cannot love your brother whom you have seen.
God will reveal Himself to you through His people, His love, through His son, His Word, and by the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Christ.

Galatians 5:6
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.

5.Having faith to move problems as mountains is simply trusting God to keep His Word. Believe that God cannot lie.

You cannot trust God without knowing Him through fellowship of God's presence. This fellowship is quality time spent alone in study, praise and prayer with God, getting to know Him and His life, way and truth (presented in The Bible).

Romans 4 :19-21
19 Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead—since he was about a hundred years old— and that Sarah’s womb was also dead. 20 Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, 21 being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised.

6.Fellowship with Him and as this develops you will come to agree with those who trust God.

Matthew 18
"Where two or three agree together in my name as touching any thing [in God's will] that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. For where there are two or three gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

7. Cultivate your faith by giving Him the opportunity to reveal Himself to you. You will know Him as He lives in your life.

Fellowship with the invisible God gives birth to your spirit with a measure of the kind of faith that can change things in your visible, physical reality.

8. Act on your faith. Faith is expressed by actions not just thoughts and words, as you believe then you can receive through that, and then you will seek results like you expect real outcomes as you have expectations of favor with God. God told Joshua that we must be faithful to the scriptures: "Never stop meditating on these teachings. You must think about them night and day so that you will faithfully do what is in them.

Joshua 1:8
Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.

Notice in Mark 9:23
“‘If you can’?” said Jesus. “Everything is possible for one who believes.” "To believe" is a verb and requires action. If no action  were necessary, Jesus would have said, "All things are possible  to him that has faith. " Faith is a noun. Faith is a gift to us from God.

9. Think on the Word of God. That meditation on the Word then reveals how to act upon the Word. Your confessing, testifying of the Word and things of God is part of that prayer and meditation. When you read, digest and speak the Word to yourself, you are meditating on the Word.

10. Build your faith by saying one thing and thinking that same thing and acting it out honestly, not by just pretending.

God's Word is already happening but not for you unless you truly believe it. What you meditate upon consists (is formed) of and constitutes (forms) what you believe: "Be careful of what you think. What you think determines what you do. Be careful what you do with your opportunity. Those actions determine your faith, identity and character. Be careful of those aspects of your character, for they determine what occupies your being. That content occupying your being determines who you are. So, it is true that: 'We become what we think about.'" (Based on a common saying.)

11. Edify yourself through faith which is also developed through praying in the language of the spirit.

Jude 20-21.

20 But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, 21 keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.

12. Spend time each day, praying and meditating in the Word in your native language and also in other tongues, and you can keep your spirit active instead of being passive. Scriptures say:

20 But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit.

13. Let God inhabit your meditations and praises and grow in your being. Meditating on the Word and agreeing together can cause you to be able to believe God's Word enough to act upon it in faith.

14. Refuse to accept doubt. Begin to praise God when negative thinking comes to your mind then replace that with praising God. If you do believe Him, then you will have plenty of praise for Him. He lives in and through His people who believe Him: "God inhabits the praises of Israel [his people, the believers who do His will."

15. Investigate why God inhabits the praises of His people: It was an honor to God, that the tabernacle tent made way for the temple of stone, but now He is within you. So, the tabernacle makes way for the faithful spirit as God's favored dwelling: But the universe is God's temple; so, what reason then is there for a temple in the human spirit? Heaven is his throne, the earth is his footstool; also, none of man's service can profit Him, yet he seeks the faithful to serve him.

16. Follow Jesus by faith into the active nature of Christ in the chosen and anointed life, way and the truth: so the redeemed, contrite, faithful human spirit may represent his favored temple that He wants to inhabit. Once you get that strong faith in God, let His spirit to change you from within. You have to have that chabge of heart, mind and soul and to allow His spirit to make that transformation in you, so you can be maid perfect into His Holy Will. Many people, including a lot of pastors and Churches will be in great suffering for all eternity for denying God and His Truth. It maybe hell to pay. I pray and hope that you do not cave into the lies of the world. We have just read the facts of what God's will is for us, in fact, do what His Will is for us every day of our lives. If there is changes in your life that God is making, you can no longer defile the temple that you are living in.

Ephesians 4:29
Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

Romans 12:2
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore if any man [be] in Christ, [he is] a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

Galatians 6:7
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

1 Corinthians Chapter 6:19-20
19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost [which is] in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

Matthew Chapter 4:6-7
6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in [their] hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. 7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

Friends, this world is only temporary, tomorrow is not promised to you, your life can be snuffed out in a blink of an eye.

Do you know where you are going for all eternity?
Are you living right in all aspects of your life so you can go to heaven?
Have you been baptized for the right reasons?
Did you repent for your wrong and are you still living in that same old sin and habit?
If so, your baptism was a lie and a counterfeit. You need to walk away from the sins, God can and will forgive you for your sins, if you are going to walk away and never do them again, that is how forgiveness works.
I am going to make up a situation, no person or name in particular.
Lets say that George kicked Bob in the shins, just because he was angry about something.
Bob, being a true Christian reacted by asking Him what is the matter, in a calm voice and not getting mad about it. Bob talks with George about his problem and George apologizes and then, a day latter do it again and apologizes again. Then then on the next day, he kicks him again and its starting to get out of hand. If George was truly sorry, he would not keep on doing it over and over.
Are you living that way?
Are you repenting to God and asking Him for forgiveness and keep up with your same old habits and sins? God will cut the sinner off do to the fact that your repentance and your baptism was all for the wrong reasons. God is the end of the Law to the Christians. If you are reborn again, you can no longer live in a two faced life style, satan has already done that, do you really want to join Him in hell? I am opening my time up for any person who wants to come to know the following, who God is, who Jesus Christ is, the proper guide to salvation and what changes that you need to make in your life, I am open to giving baptisms for the right reasons so many may get saved.
If you are one of those, then get a hold of me or find a good solid Bible based Church and get baptized for the right reasons. Jesus Christ and Paul has told us in Scripture on what we need to do to be saved and to gain eternal salvation in heaven. before we close in prayer, I would like to invite you to think of anything that you are struggling with, I want you to focus what you are struggling with and I will give a moment of silence so you can pray on it and meditate on what we have read and of God's Word, then I will close out. After you have prayed about your struggles, I want you to leave it at the foot of the cross and walk 100% away from that sin and habit and steer clear from it. Lets pray.

Is Heaven Your Future Home? You Can Know For Sure it is (Bible Study)

Is Heaven Your Future Home? 

You Can Know For Sure it is (Bible Study)

There is alot of People Who Would love to sit and listen to the word of God, there are some who will argue in the middle of, or at the end of hearing Gods word. Why Would some people do that? One main reason would be is because they don’t have God in there hearts and have rejected God word out of their lives. That is a straight path to hell. There will be no heaven waiting for them at the end of their time. The persons soul will surely die, in fact, if you don’t have God in Your heart now, your already dead, while your still alive here on this planet. Once you have turned Your Life, 100% over to God and repented to Jesus Christ and admit all your bad sins to Him, you then can be reborn again The Old Life has passed away and the new Life has begun. Mat 6:24  No one can serve two masters. For either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will hold to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.

Is Heaven your future home? You can know for sure that is!!!

“Nobody can know for sure that they are going to Heaven, right?” WRONG! “I guess we’ll have to wait till we get there to find out, right?” WRONG! ” If my good outweighs my bad, I’ll probably go to Heaven, right?” WRONG!

To make a presumption that what you have been taught all your life must be true, especially concerning the destination of your eternal soul, is the epitome of foolishness. Your soul is the only possession you have that is eternal! Your wife, husband, children, house, cars, money, possessions, beauty, health, etc. are all temporal. Nobody can, ever has, or ever will be able to possess these forever. Your soul, however, lives on forever in Heaven or hell (see Luke 16:19-31). Do not take chances! Do not trust in what man tells you. What does God have to say about salvation and going to Heaven? That is what is important!

God’s Clear Promises
Why was the Bible written according to this following verse? “These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life…” (I John 5:13). God wants you to know that you have eternal life! John 5:39 says: “Search the scriptures, for in them ye think ye have eternal life, and they are they which testify of me.”

Do not trust in Clergymen to do your searching and interpreting of the Scriptures! What if they are wrong? IT IS YOUR SOUL! Jesus said search yourself!

Proper interpretation is not for a few Clergymen! The Apostle Paul, while in Rome, reminded a young man named Timothy, “And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus,” (2 Timothy 3:15). Timothy knew the Holy Scriptures from his childhood. He was taught them, not by Clergymen, but by his grandmother and mother (see 2 Timothy 1:5).

God wrote the Bible so every person on earth could read it and find out what He requires for us to have eternal life. We can know for sure that we are going to Heaven! It is mental torment to have to go through life wondering if we are going to make it to Heaven or if we will end up in hell. A God of love would not want us to be mentally tormented and live in fear and uncertainty all of our days as hostages to some unknown demands of His. HIS DEMANDS ARE KNOWN. If you will do what God says you must do to go to Heaven, you will be saved and KNOW IT!

Uh-oh, We Are In Trouble

God demands perfection, holiness and righteousness. On the other hand, this is what the Bible says of us:

■”There is NONE righteous, no not one,” (Romans 3:10).
■”There is NONE that doeth good, no not one,” (Romans 3:12).
■”For ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of God,” (Romans 3:23).
■”For we are ALL as an unclean thing and all of our righteousness (good works) are as filthy rags,” (Isaiah 64:6).
It does not matter how good you THINK your are. The best person reading this article is nothing more than a sinner like the rest of us; and the person reading this who has done the most good works, they are nothing more than filthy rags to God.

The Penalty
Sin is a big joke today. Just watch TV. God never has laughed at sin and never will. It cost Him His Son’s life! That is serious. The Bible says, “The wages of sin is death,” (Romans 6:23). All of us are sinners and will pay the wages. Beyond physical death, the Scriptures teach, “The SOUL that sins, it shall die,” (Ezekiel 18:4,20).

God’s Word teaches that death has two parts: physical death and eternal separation from God in a lake of fire. “And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire,” (Revelation 20:14-15).

Jesus Paid Our Penalty
Knowing that we were sinners, lost, hopeless and totally incapable of saving ourselves, JESUS DIED FOR OUR SINS! He paid our death penalty in full. He was your substitute! You should have hung on the cross! “For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit,” (1 Peter 3:18). Christ’s suffering was ONCE for all! Why? That He might bring us to God.

“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us,” (Romans 5:8). God loves you! If God never does another thing for you as long as you live, He has already proved that He loves you by sending His son to die in your place for your sins on the cross. “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16). When was the last time someone died for you??? That is love!

You Must Accept Christ As Your Saviour
If you could earn your way to Heaven, then why did Christ have to die for you? No, you cannot earn your way into Heaven by your good works! Consider Ephesians 2:8-9, “For by grace are ye saved through faith, and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, least any man should boast.”

The question, “What must I do to be saved?” was asked in Acts 16:30. Acts 16:31 gave the answer, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved.” Romans 4:5 says, “But to him that worketh not, but believeth on Him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.”

Quit working and start trusting! It is not what you can do that will save you, but what Christ has done. Are you believing on Him ALONE, or are you trusting in yourself or religion?

Have you received Christ as your Saviour? John 1:12 says, “But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God even to them that believe on His name.” Therefore, being saved is an event, not a lifelong process.

“I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved.” (John 10:9). Jesus said it! “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me,” (John 14:6).

If you are going to Heaven, it is through accepting Jesus Christ as your Saviour only. Matthew 7:13-14 teaches us that there are many ways to hell, but only one way to Heaven, and Jesus is the only door.

Jesus Christ could not do any more to save you and to show His love for you than what He has already done. Now it is up to you. Will you accept Him as your Saviour or reject Him? When you stand before God’s judgement seat, He is not going to ask you, “How good have you been?” He is going to ask you “What did you do with my son, Jesus Christ, who died for you: did you receive Him as your Saviour or reject Him?”

Do not gamble with your soul! Ask Jesus to be your Saviour. God is everywhere. Wherever you may be as you read this, God is there. God says to you, “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13). Do it now; do not wait, for tomorrow is uncertain.

To receive Christ as your Saviour
BELIEVING pray, “Heavenly Father, I am sorry for my sin, I repent! Have mercy on me! I do today receive Jesus Christ as my personal Saviour from sin and its penalty. I believe He died for me and was buried and rose again and trust today in His sacrifice and shed blood for the forgiveness of my sins. Please give to me the free gift of eternal life. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”

Assurance of Salvation
Now claim God’s promise- “Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that heareth my word, and believeth on Him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life,” (John 5:24). “WHOSOEVER shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved,” (Romans 10:13).
We are to live one day at a time and to live right for God. God wants Us to live perfect, just as he is perfect. Mat 5:48 Tells Us, Therefore be perfect, even as your Father in Heaven is perfect.  Those Who worries about the end time, must have burdens that they can’t seam to let go of. Let me Put it this way, with all the Bible Studies that we have Talked on and about, put all them together in a big Shell, They all are trying to teach you to learn how to be ready for the end.  It should be teaching you how to be right with him in all things you do in your life, so you won’t die with the sinful world. There is Not Much to learn about the end times, because if you are a true Christian and a follower of God, Your then Protected from all evil. So what is there to fear? Treat others as you would like to be treated. This is one of the most hard things to do as christians are to treat others good and help them no matter what, but if they are in a bind and need help then help them, If the Person Your Helping goes out to blow their spending on foolish things on constant basis and know they are doing it and know it’s wrong, thier help will then be no longer there. God works the same way. If a sinner comes to him and admits he/she is wrong and tells Him about it, He will forgive them, but if he or she keeps on going back to the old sinful ways and knows that he/she is doing that, God will decline you and tell you Depart from me, For I never Knew you.. Lets see what our Lord Jesus says in Matthew  7:15-23

A Tree and Its Fruits 

Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.   You shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?  Even so every good tree brings forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree brings forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruits, nor can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that does not bring forth good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you shall know them. Not everyone who says to Me, Lord! Lord! shall enter the kingdom of Heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in Heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, Lord! Lord! Did we not prophesy in Your name, and through Your name throw out demons, and through Your name do many wonderful works?  And then I will say to them I never knew you! Depart from Me, those working lawlessness! The Tree that is being talked about is us humans, the fruit is what is in a humans heart. So if there is foolish talk and foul behavior in heart, which is called bad fruit will ruin the whole tree, Making the tree bad. Therefore, the whole human body then becomes bad and sinful At that point God will turn the human away and will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’. If a bad tree bears bad fruit it is thrown in the lake of fire. Like it says in Matthew 7:15-20 Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. You shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles? Even so every good tree brings forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree brings forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruits, nor can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that does not bring forth good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you shall know them. I know that we have covered alot of hard issues here tonight, but the facts are the facts. If you can not handle them here and now, are you going to be able to handle it when you face God at the end of you time here on this planet? I am Just the Messenger, if you have a problem with me sharing this message, then you also have a problem with God the father. Let’s Read the attachment that we have here tonight and then close with a prayer.

So some of you won’t remain ignorant concerning what you say, below is a list of some oaths that are of the religious nature adapted from the list found on Wikipedia. Although both “God” and “damn” are Bible words, the use of these words together is offensive and thus Some of the letters are blanked out in definitions.

“Shinola,” “Shoot,” “Shucks,” “Sugar,” etc., all refer to the modern and vulgar barnyard reference to dung. “Freaking,” “Frickin,” “Fudging,” “Feck,” “Fig,” and other “F-words” obviously refer to the highly obscene and insulting “F-words” that is so commonly used by the ignorant, vulgar and profane. As Often as it is used by someone would think it was the speaker’s middle name.

These words and similar can regularly be heard in Christian Homes, work places, and even in churches. Some of you may claim you didn’t realize these seeming benign terms were “oaths.” Fair enough but Now you Know [1 Thes. 5:22- Abstain from every appearance of evil. ].

Your author has been guilty of using some of them when he was younger, and even today catches himself using variations of them he heard as a child growing up in “Appalachia.” Just the Other Day he heard himself say “I declare” which is a form of “I Swear” Mat 5:34-36  But I say to you, Do not swear at all! Not by Heaven, because it is God's throne; not by the earth, for it is the footstool of His feet; not by Jerusalem, because it is the city of the great King; nor shall you swear by your head, because you cannot make one hair white or black.  James 5:12  But before all things, my brothers, do not swear; neither by the heaven nor by the earth, nor any other oath. But let your yes be yes, and your no, no, lest you fall into condemnation. He Still uses old terms like “I reckon” for I Suppose” or “over yonder” for “over there,” but “I declare,” “I swan” or “I hope my die” are not acceptable. [Some of you are lost on these terms, but they are still common in the hills.]

Bible Study About Using Foul Language

People tend to Praise and worship God and claim that they are living right before our God, but yet, they are using foul language in so many ways and thinks that there is nothing wrong about that. Talking with foul language and worshiping God out of the same mouth should not be. Your tongue is the poisoness thing in your body, it also starts a small spark and can do big damage by fire, having a filthy tongue also can lead you to hell for all eternity. God created each person in His image, to praise and worship Him, live a Holy life here on earth and to live a sin free life and that is it. That was what God's intentions were, until Adam and Eve had to invite satan into this world. Now that everyone is blinded by satans darkness, no one seems to understand the Truth of life and of God.

People these day's, are living a lie of satan, living for selfish things of this world and living for the flesh and not of God's Holy Spirit.

Friends, I urge you today to live your life the way God has always wanted you to live, so you can be heaven bound instead of hell bound.

For a unholy life is a life that is waiting to be sentenced with a death penalty for all of eternity

Your language can send you there.

Ephesians 4:29 Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.

Ephesians 5:4

Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of place, but instead let there be thanksgiving.

Matthew 15:11

It is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth; this defiles a person.”

Colossians 3:8-10

But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth. Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator.

Exodus 20:7

“You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.

It does not matter if you are a Christian or not, you will be sentenced to hell by your mouth.

I have seen so many people who claims to be a Christian, go to Church to worship God and sing praises to our Lord and savior, then a day or so latter, they are using foul language in their conversations and posting things with curse words on it, not to mention on face book as well.

According to God's word, that is no difference than a counterfeit Christian that is selling their very own souls to hell, by their crude talking.

Proverbs 4:24

Put away from you crooked speech, and put devious talk far from you.

Proverbs 26:20

For lack of wood the fire goes out, and where there is no whisperer, quarreling ceases.

Proverbs 10:18

The one who conceals hatred has lying lips, and whoever utters slander is a fool.

Proverbs 19:1

Better is a poor person who walks in his integrity than one who is crooked in speech and is a fool.

Believe it or not, using foul language is blasphemy against the Holy spirit, here is why, If you are a Christian and have God in your heart and life and your using

foul language of any kind, your doing what is against God in speech.

You are making yourself out to being a fool.

If God is truly in your life, you would refrain from using foolish unwholesome talk.

You would desire in following what is right.

You can't serve two masters.

Matthew 6:24

24“No one can serve two masters. 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 both God and Money.

Those who lives their lives by keeping up with their same old sins, by keeping up with using foul language is serving satan and not God.

Those who has Jesus Christ in their hearts, will abide by God's law.

The ultimate penalty for sin is death, spiritual death.

God sent His son to die in your place, in hopes that you will repent to Him and turn away from sinning like rest of the world.

Once you have given your life over to God, you then have no rights to continue in living in sin.

God created us to live a Holy life for Him and to worship Him and that is it.

I know that many of you have your minds all twisted with satans lies, but you need to wake up before your dead and turn away from living in a lie.

Once you die, that will be it for your soul.

God is giving more than a second chance here on earth, if you continue in living in sin and you die without turning it over to God while your alive here,

It will be to late when your dead, at that time, there will be no second chances to correct yourselves before God.

Revelation 20:14

Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.

1 John 1:9

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

John 5:28-29

Do not marvel at this, for an hour is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.

Revelation 20:7-10

And when the thousand years are ended, Satan will be released from his prison and will come out to deceive the nations that are at the four corners of the earth,

Gog and Magog, to gather them for battle; their number is like the sand of the sea.

And they marched up over the broad plain of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city, but fire came down from heaven and consumed them,

and the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur where the beast and the false prophet were,

and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

We all may have our differences in life, but we all are maid the same and many of you have a lot of confusion of what life is really about.

In order to better understand what life is all about, you need to approach God's instruction manual with an open mind, open heart and soul in order to understand it. Your hearts, minds and soul needs to be open, in order to hear God's voice.

You are on the right track and fit for heaven if you have Jesus Christ in your hearts and allow His Holy spirit to fill up into your mind, so there will be no room for sin to enter your body, you then will be in line and maid perfect in God's sight.

Ephesians 2:8-9

For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

Matthew 5:48

You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

1 John 4:18

There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.

Luke 13:3

No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.

Romans 12:1-2

I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. To escape the death penalty of going to hell for your sins, it is very important to follow Jesus Christ, in His foot steps. We need to hear the Gospel of Christ, we need to believe that Jesus is the Christ and the son of God, we need to admit that we are in need of a savior, we need to confess that we are sinners and give our sins over to God and sin no more, we need to repent to God and have full faith in God, we need to be immersed in water baptism and of the Holy Spirit. Without baptism, there is no salvation. God has commanded it to the whole world. B.I.B.L.E. Is the Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth

Live by it and live for God Almighty.

COUNTERFEIT CHRISTIANS Bible Study

Many don't know what a Christian looks like and know what the duty's of a Christian is, here is a real example. Tuesday mourning of September 11 of 2012, I was on my way to Church to help to unload donated food to our Church food pantry, after taking my son to school. As I turned onto Brandywine, off of Northpoint in Zanesville, I noticed a car that was going as slow as a snail. I pulled towards to the curb, just to try to see what the problem was. I noticed something was flapping in front of the vehicle. I then put on my hazards and pulled up behind the slow moving car and walked up to see what the problem was. The car was filled with elderly ladies in it, I asked if I could offer some help, they said that would be great. The car had a flat tire and the tire was coming off the rim. I asked the lady if she could drive the car up in to the parking lot of sam's club. I took the tire off and placed their donut tire on to the car, it was also flat. A sales clerk of sam's checked with us, to see if he could be any help. I asked if they had a air hose near by, he said to pull the car over to the garage and they will take care of it. I followed the ladies over, as the tire was being filled, I asked how much would it be to get their tire fixed? The guy said they would fix her tire for nothing. I told the driver that they would fix it, but they were heading to the Church for some kind of lunchon event at the Church, and they would bring it back to get fixed after words. They offered to pay me for my time, but I said no thanks, thanks is good enough. That my friends, is what being a Christian is all about, going out of your way to help others, is the way God desires for everyone to live by. Christians who goes to Church on Sunday's and spends time with God by going to Bible study on Sunday nights and live as if they are Holy Christians, then on Monday through Saturday, they live just like the rest of the world. I'm talking about turning back to there same old filthy sins, like smoking, drinking alcohal, talking with foul language, gossiping and lieing, cheating, looking at things on the web that you know you should not be doing, the list goes on. Christians who are doing those things during the week, except for Sunday's, are counterfeit Christians, in fact, they are no Christians at all. God does not accept luke warm Christians. If you are a real Christian, you would not just go to Church to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ on Sunday's, you would share his word through the week, live by helping others, volenteering in the Church, helping out at the food banks, helping a person who is broke down at the side of the road. That is just to name a few of what being a Christian is all about. Its about serving God and serving others, no matter what the cost. God has created each one of you to be your brothers keeper, through Jesus Christ, we all are brothers and sisters, we are all family, family of God.

Yes, there are people who are not Christians and who lives entirely the way of the wicked world does, they are seperated from God, because they love to live in sin and live in a lie, so they are not in the family of God, so its up to the Christians to restore them and attempt to bring them back to Christ, in hopes that they will wake up before they are dead, and have them come back to God in repentance. You have to be either 100% living right for God, or you are 100% living for satan.

Matthew 6 24“No one can serve two masters. 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 both God and Money. If you have Jesus Christ in your hearts, people then will be able to see God in your eyes. You will not be doing and saying things like rest of the earthly sinners.

You will desire to be more like God and you will desire to clean yourself up. You will feel the need to kick your old habits to the curb and start living right for Jesus Christ, thats what God wants from you. Any unclean thing will not be permitted in heaven, just read your Bibles, the Holy Bible if you will. Fake Christians

Isaiah 29:13 And the Lord said: “Because this people draw near with their mouth and honor me with their lips, while their hearts are far from me, and their fear of me is a commandment taught by men,

Matthew 7:21-23 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name? ’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’

James 1:26

If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person's religion is worthless.

Revelation 3:15-16

“‘I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth.

1 John 1:8-10

If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

Those who live by sinning during the week, except on Sunday's and think they are ok by doing that in God's eyes, they are no better than a cult christian, meaning a counterfeit Christian, which is no Christian at all.

What is Counterfeit Christianity?

Webster's Dictionary defines a cult as:

1. A system of religious worship.

2. Devoted attachment to a person, principle, etc.

3. A sect.

Webster's then goes on to define a sect as a "religious denomination".

With this hazy definition for a cult, it is no wonder people are confused. We need to turn from the pages of the dictionary to the pages of the Bible.

A Cult is Counterfeit Christianity

"Counterfeit Christianity" is probably the best description we can give for a cult. Counterfeit Christianity is an imitation of real Christianity. Bible terms like "Jesus Christ", "Resurrection", "Salvation" and "Atonement" are used by the Cult, but entirely different meanings have been assigned to these terms by the various cult groups.

Like counterfeit money which is sometimes difficult to detect, so it is difficult to detect counterfeit Christianity, since it looks like the real thing. Experts examining counterfeit money often hold it up to a strong light and look for identifying marks. Counterfeit Christianity also has identifying marks which can be seen when held up to an even stronger light, the light of God's word, the Bible.

We are repeatedly warned in Scripture to watch out for false prophets, false teachers, and false doctrine. To do this, we need to examine the prophecies, teachings,  and doctrines of the various groups claiming to be Christian, and then we need to expose them. This is what the Apostle Paul did in 2 Timothy 2:17,18, where he said, "...Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus, men who have gone astray from the truth saying that the resurrection has already taken place, and thus they upset the faith of some." Jesus named, "the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate." (Revelation 2:6).

All this "detecting" of a Cult takes time, so we need some methods whereby we can readily detect a cult without time-consuming research. This is possible, and we outline the methods here.

Early detection and the Church

We are at an advantage if we know what to expect from a cult. Cultists are very well trained to appear "Christian", and indeed believe they are the true church,  and you need the deliverance! Therefore, be bold and ask the question, "Do you believe the group you represent is the ONLY TRUE CHURCH on the face of the earth? " If they reply that they are, or if they are evasive, making remarks like, "Well, every church has a measure of truth BUT....", you have made an early detection of a Cultist! Every Christian, if asked the same question, regardless of his denomination, would reply that the true church is comprised of believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, and that HE (not some organization) is THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE. (John 14:6). No legitimate denomination would claim that they alone and their members have salvation EXCLUSIVELY, but the Cults (the counterfeits) do.

Early detection and the Bible Again, under the subject of early detection of a Cult, find out if the person talking to you believes in MORE THAN THE BIBLE. For example, the Mormons will SAY they believe the Bible, but they will be anxious to let you know that they have FURTHER REVELATION in the form of the Book of Mormon, Pearl of Great Price, etc., which they also consider inspired. Jehovah's Witnesses believe the Bible, especially their own altered version, The New World Translation, which has altered most scriptures dealing with the Deity of Christ.

 Jehovah's Witnesses will tell you that the Bible can only be understood by their particular organization, the Watchtower Society. I often ask Jehovah's Witnesses, "Has anyone ever become a Jehovah's Witness by studying the Bible alone?" Of course not. Other Cults also believe they have EXCLUSIVE UNDERSTANDING of the Bible,

 as it is explained to them by their particular prophet. Watch out for anyone trying to interpret Scripture for you, or using the Bible like a "dictionary". That is, they make their point, and then refer to isolated texts, often hop scotching all over the Bible to "prove" their point. Used this way, the Bible can be made to say almost anything. Here are two Scriptures that don't belong together: "Judas went out and hanged himself", coupled with "Go thou and do likewise".

 Behold! A new doctrine formed in exactly the way the cults use the Bible. Also, be careful of groups stressing prophecy out of proportion to other subjects in Scripture. "Prophecy Seminars" are often the first step into a cult group. Remember also, that it is the Holy Spirit who will guide you into all truth, not some self-appointed prophet or organization. John 16:13 reads, "But when He, the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come."

Where are the Cults evangelizing?

The Holy Spirit, through the Apostle Paul gives the Church divine warning in 2 Corinthians, chapter 11, verse 4, that there would be those "COMING TO US" (that is, the Church), and preaching to us "ANOTHER JESUS", a "DIFFERENT GOSPEL", with a "DIFFERENT SPIRIT". This is perhaps the best definition of a Cult in the Bible.

In Verse 13, Paul further tells us that their leaders would be disguised as "apostles of Christ". Although Satanically-inspired, they would appear as "angels of light" Therefore do not think a cult has to appear bad to be bad.

On the contrary, a Cult often looks extra good. How do you think the person at your door became so deceived, except that the cult looked so good to them? Bear in mind that you are usually not talking to a deliberate deceiver, but a poor, misguided soul. Cults may look and seem like genuine Christians, perhaps even just another denomination. Do not look on the outward appearance--use your detectors! Many Cults have begun as "interdenominational Bible Study Groups". As long as neighborhood study groups are under the headship outlined in the Bible in Ephesians  4:11-15, you are protected under the "umbrella" of oversight outlined in Scripture, but if one "lone ranger" leader is answering to no one for his teachings, then look out! As long as he is teaching truth, you are fine, but if he goes out into "left field" with some doctrine, you will go with him into deception. The purpose of the Cults is to divide the body of Christ. The thrust of their "missionary activities" is not to the unchurched, but to believers in Christ. Missionaries often tell of going to the unsaved and preaching the gospel, finally getting a church going, and then "here come the cults!" We all need to heed the warning in Scripture, "Keep your eye on those who cause divisions among you--and turn away from them". (Romans 16:17). Detect what "Salvation" the Cult offers

Without fail, the Cults have done away with salvation by GRACE alone. Their salvation is always GRACE PLUS WORKS, and in their organizations you can never be SURE of your salvation until your death, or "until Armageddon". Cults keep you in a constant state of anxiety and fear of impending judgment. The strongest witness the Christian can present in this situation is the ASSURANCE they have RIGHT NOW that they ARE SAVED!

 Good works are a RESULT of salvation, not a CONDITION of salvation. "For by GRACE you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the GIFT OF GOD; NOT AS A RESULT OF WORKS, that no one should boast. (Eph. 2:8,9). "...God has GIVEN US eternal life, and this life is in His Son. These things I have written to you who BELIEVE in the name of the Son of God, in order that you may KNOW that you HAVE ETERNAL LIFE." (1 John 5: 11 & 13).

Recognize the two classes in the Cults

In the world of the Cults, there are two classes of people. At the high levels, we find the DECEIVERS. At the lower levels, we find the DECEIVED. Remember,  you will usually be dealing with the honest-hearted DECEIVED ones, so remember our instructions in 2 Timothy 2: 24-26, "And the Lord's bond-servant must not be quarrelsome, but be kind to all, able to teach, patient when wronged, with gentleness correcting those who are in opposition, if perhaps God may grant them repentance, leading to the knowledge of the truth, and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, having been held captive by him to do his will." Those using 2 John as an excuse not to witness to the Cultists, should realize that this admonition not to let such a one into their house is referring to anyone who "does not abide in the teachings of Christ" (vs.9), obviously now-departed members of the Christian congregation. This describes most high-ranking cult leaders, but those at your door usually have never "abided" in the doctrine of Christ. Indeed, most of them have had Christ misrepresented to them, and do not even know who Christ really is.

What do the Cults think of Jesus Christ?

This question is the most important one we could possibly ask, for every Cult presents "another Jesus" (2 Cor. 11:4).

 Listed at the end of this booklet are the names of the various cults and their teachings on the person of Jesus Christ.

 Cults are often unwilling to share with you their REAL view on Christ until they have drawn you in and won your friendship. It may be necessary for YOU to present THEM with their own doctrine, and confront them on this most important issue. Remember, if we have the right Jesus Christ we are right for all eternity, but if we have the wrong Jesus Christ, we are wrong for all eternity! The prime question to ask the Cultist is, "Do you believe that Jesus Christ is ALMIGHTY God, manifest in the flesh?" (Matthew 1:23, John 1:1,14, etc.) If they cannot agree, you have detected a cult! Jesus is NOT some lesser or extra god, or any kind of an angel. He is not just one of many prophets and gurus, or an extraordinarily good man, but He is THE ONLY TRUE GOD (1 Tim. 1:16,17). As Jesus is TRULY GOD, He is also TRULY MAN (Romans 5:15, 1 Tim. 2:5). This is the Jesus Christ of the Bible, truly God, truly man! For a fuller explanation, please refer to our book "Coping with the Cults" and the chapter " Defending the Deity of Jesus Christ to the Cults".

Cults often humanize God and deify man Eastern mysticism and humanism have been making steady inroads of late into the Christian Church. Beware of any teacher telling you that you can be "a god", or "part of God" or the "Godhead" or "Godfamily". Especially be on guard for those calling God a "Godforce". Remember that the original lie that Satan whispered in Eve's ear way back in the Garden of Eden was that she could be "as God" or "a god".

 There is only ONE TRUE GOD (Deut. 6:4), and we are his creation, not His equal. Watch out for the groups that humanize God and deify man.

In Conclusion

Remember that persons who have been led into Cults have gone because they were sincerely seeking for God, and no true Christian bore witness to them. Or, after receiving Christ they received wrong teaching, supposing that what they did pleased God. Cults are clever counterfeits for those not grounded solidly in Bible teachings. It is not too late to lead them to the true Christ, or win them back to their original commitment. Remember to fight SPIRITUAL BATTLES with SPIRITUAL WEAPONS. Prayer is your chief weapon. Take your authority as a Christian and bind the spirit of deception operating in the Cultist's life, loosing him/her to hear the Gospel of Christ. (See Matthew 18:18-20). Prepare yourself to witness as the Holy Spirit makes opportunity for you, by becoming acquainted with cult views on Christ and Salvation, as well as the Scriptures to correct these views. I have talked with a lot of people in my time and heard many conversations from a lot of people in my time as well. But from what I am hearing is this, many people would rather be god over their whole lives, calling the shots in their live than letting God,  be God over their whole lives. Many of you are just like that, that my friends, is a counterfeit Christian. God tells us that sin can not and will not be in heaven. That is a straight path to hell. Many of you claim to be a Christian and yet, you still live in sin by doing or same old sinful habits. If you are one of those people, then this whole lesson is just for you and right up your alley. "Nobody can know for sure that they are going to Heaven, right?" WRONG! "I guess we'll have to wait till we get there to find out, right?" WRONG! "  If my good outweighs my bad, I'll probably go to Heaven, right?" WRONG! To make a presumption that what you have been taught all your life must be true, especially concerning the destination of your eternal soul,  is the epitome of foolishness. Your soul is the only possession you have that is eternal! Your wife, husband, children, house, cars, money, possessions, beauty, health, etc. are all temporal. Nobody can, ever has, or ever will be able to possess these forever. Your soul, however, lives on forever in Heaven or hell (see Luke 16:19-31). Do not take chances! Do not trust in what man tells you. What does God have to say about salvation and going to Heaven? That is what is important! God's Clear Promises Why was the Bible written according to this following verse? "These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God;

 that ye may know that ye have eternal life..." (I John 5:13). God wants you to know that you have eternal life! John 5:39 says: "Search the scriptures, for in them ye think ye have eternal life, and they are they which testify of me."

Do not trust in Clergymen to do your searching and interpreting of the Scriptures! What if they are wrong? IT IS YOUR SOUL! Jesus said search yourself! Proper interpretation is not for a few Clergymen! BOLOGNA! The Apostle Paul, while in Rome, reminded a young man named Timothy, "And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus, " (2 Timothy 3:15). Timothy knew the Holy Scriptures from his childhood. He was taught them, not by Clergymen, but by his grandmother and mother (see 2 Timothy 1:5). God wrote the Bible so every person on earth could read it and find out what He requires for us to have eternal life. We can know for sure that we are going to Heaven!

It is mental torment to have to go through life wondering if we are going to make it to Heaven or if we will end up in hell. A God of love would not want us to be mentally tormented and live in fear and uncertainty all of our days as hostages to some unknown demands of His. HIS DEMANDS ARE KNOWN. If you will do what God says you must do to go to Heaven, you will be saved and KNOW IT! If you are truly a Christian, you need to seal the deal with God, by obeying him and living your whole life for him. If you have faith in God and obeying God, thats great but;

You also need to Hear the Gospel of Christ; Believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God;  Repent of all his past sins and to never do them again; Confess that Christ is God’s Son; Be baptized for the remission of sins. True Baptism is by water imersion. When he does this, he is added by the Lord to His church (Acts 2:41,47).  He is born again (John 3:3-5; 2 Corinthians 5:17).  He is in Christ where all spiritual blessings are to be found. (Ephesians 1:3; Galatians 3:26,27).  In short, he is a Christian (Acts 11:26; 26:28; 1 Peter 4:16). If you are on the fence, or one side or the other, what ever you do, just get on the Lord side. Amen.
