The Problem with Churches; Pastors not yielded to their Lord

If we are not yielded  to the LORD Jesus, then we are not walking the Narrow Path; we are walking the wide path to destruction.

The result is Idolatry and Sexual Immorality in the church, unconfessed, and not turned away from.

We cling to temporal things instead of the Lord.  Pastors teach that grace is for abusing, and we excuse sin

Do you know that the wages of sin is eternal death? That is why the Word of God warns us to turn away from this sin and submit to the Lord Jesus Christ.

We don't want to turn from our sin. We are happy to continue in our sin and go to church to hear about (lawless) grace.

When Israel was in the same condition, God sent prophets to them telling them to repent and return to the Lord.

In Chapters 2 and 3 of Revelation, the command for the Church to  Repent is stated 7 times.

Rev 2:21 -- And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.

The Church has become Idolatrous and Immoral just like Israel was. God was displeased then, and He is displeased now.

Rom 11:21 -- For if God did not spare the natural branches, He may not spare you either.

We should fear God and humbly bow before Him and confess all this wickedness we have committed. Please don't harden your hearts, but repent instead.

Only faithful Israel will be saved, and likewise the Church. Those who die and did not repent, are in Hell: Israel as well as "Christians". Not one shred of scripture says, ONCE SAVED; ALWAYS SAVED.  Instead the scripture says that we have eternal life IN Jesus Christ our Lord. He must be Lord of our lives so that we can overcome sin in our lives. If He is not Lord of our lives, we cannot overcome sin. The wages of sin is death for the so-called Christian as well as the world. The grace of God is freely given,  but His grace is to save us and to sanctify us.

In another place in God's word, it says we are barely saved. 1 Pet 4:18
18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved... 

Thus it is  proper for us to fear the Lord. To the humble He grants grace to overcome  drugs, pornography, immorality and all such wickedness. And then His grace continues to work on our personality.

Now just using myself as an example of the Lord's mercy, SIN  had a hold of me even as a Christian. I could not overcome. I tried many, many times and cried out to the Lord. Failure, failure, failure until one day the Spirit suggested I yield my life totally to Jesus. He gave me grace to submit, and I still am submitting daily. Submitting to the Lord is safe. He does not subjugate you. There is in fact more freedom in the Spirit.

Deception of a magnitude that has never been seen before

It will roll in fairly quickly. First wars will destroy our standard of living. Food will be scarce. Violence and thieving will be normal. Our faith in God must be rock solid and we must endure to the end.

That is just the beginning of sorrows. What is coming afterwards is the Granddaddy of all Deceptions. 

This Granddaddy of all Deceptions will support the agenda of the Anti-Christ. As in the days before the flood, so it will happen again. The Nephilim will return. The Government will announce that aliens from outer space have arrived here on earth, and we need to stick together.

These so-called Aliens are demons acting as aliens from outer space. It will be overwhelmingly convincing. They will speak as if they come from a more mature culture, and their planet will be, of course, far more advanced than ours. These are Satanic Demons. Of course, like a sensible world citizen you will accept the mark of the Beast. It is the only way to live in this new world order.

Now I am not sure about the exact boundaries of this deception, but it will be on a level never seen before. This should worry even born again believers. Cling to the Lord. This is more than we can handle.

Keep in mind who the Deception is really made for: It is make for US, who truly believe in Jesus. The masses will easily fall for this, so its brunt will be against followers of Jesus. So our environment will be totally changed suddenly -- aggressively against Jesus Christ.

We have seen this before. When the environment was supportive, Peter would not even think of denying the Lord. No way. But the environment changed and Peter denied the Lord three times. He denied Him thoroughly. What saved him was that Jesus had prayed that his faith would not fail.

There will be a great falling away. Jesus is our intercessor. He hangs onto us. So hang on saints.

Matt 6:
In this manner, therefore, pray:
Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
10 Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive our debtors.
13 And do not lead us into temptation,
But deliver us from the evil one.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

Hell

People will say they don't believe in Hell. They say it is not even in the Bible. Well the word HELL is not in the Hebrew, Aramaic, or the Greek but its deadly and fearful equivalence is in the Bible. Look for unquenchable fire, the maggot that never dies, Sheol (Hebrew), Hades (Greek), Gehenna.

You would think a person that insists on going by the original languages would be convinced upon finding Sheol, Hades, Tartarus & Gehenna in the Bible. Intellectual honesty is a different matter altogether. If a person refuses the truth that he is a sinner, and destined for Hell, he will look at any excuse not to believe the Word of God. .

2 Pet. 3:12
[Paul] speaking of these things in all of his letters. Some of his comments are hard to understand, and those who are ignorant and unstable have twisted his letters to mean something quite different, just as they do with other parts of Scripture. And this will result in their destruction.

James 3:6
 And the tongue is a flame of fire. It is a whole world of wickedness, corrupting your entire body. It can set your whole life on fire, for it is set on fire by hell itself.[Gehenna] 

Rev. 20:10
And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

Rev. 3:17
[Paul] speaking of these things in all of his letters. Some of his comments are hard to understand, and those who are ignorant and unstable have twisted his letters to mean something quite different, just as they do with other parts of Scripture. And this will result in their destruction.

Rev 3:14,15
 And death and hades 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.

Rev 14:9-11
  Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, 10 he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. 11 And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.”

There is no mercy; there is no grace for the one who accepts the Mark of the Beast, no matter who says differently. I believe God's holy Word, not the aberrant word of a mere man who is carried along by the Devil himself whose purpose is to deceive us.  So let the Word of Christ dwell in us richly. Amen.

Jesus had 4 brothers and at least 3 sisters

Some mistakenly say Jesus had only 2 sisters, but there were 3 or more sisters. Matt. 13:56 - And His sisters, are they not all with us?
If there were only two sisters it would read, are they not both with us?  Are they not all with us means  3 or more.
