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.
