And he said, you were brought in Gods Kingdom and you emit rays of light, just like a candle. don't hide it. You have knowledge and it will set you free, but only if you don't ignore it! Don't cover it up Jesus said, you have heard the truth, let it remain in you and it will set you free Mar 4:21 Mar 4:22
You might cover it up, but there is nothing hid, which shall not be revealed and nothing will be kept secret, when He comes. If any man have ears to hear, let him hear. Mar 4:23
Mar 4:24 And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.
Mar 4:25 For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.
So, it is evident that we should increase in knowledge as the second coming is drawing closer.
In this verse, Jesus is telling us. If you are born again and you refuse to use your spiritual knowledge; you are lying to yourself and covering up what you already know. Your light is not shining; you are really sinning in secret. Your secret will be revealed though, at the judgment! senses. Psalm 135:16 You are closing your ears and your eyes to clear bible truth but Rev 3:14-22You have a lot. Pay attention to this, and more will be given, but if you don't listen, that which you have will be confiscated. Matthew 25
This shoe fits a huge amount of well meaning born again Christians, from across the Globe but they refuse to try it on.You might very well be one of them. Don’t think yourself to be exempt. Study all of the facts, in context!
I know, most readers, after realizing the direction of this message, will ignore it, thinking: Oh, I have the truth and I know the verses, why bother to investigate any further? You might be tempted to say, this is not me, but check it out, you might be in for a super big surprise! You must take this fact in consideration: The devil is very, very crafty.
There was a time in my life, when I just knew, for a fact, that I knew all of the Bible truths, but I was misled. You might say this is not me! But wait a minute! ask yourself, is it possible, even by some slight and minute little chance, that you could be misinterpreting one thing. Maybe one Word, whatever! God wants you to know the facts. And let me tell you; you are not exempt! I know, some of you can finish my sermon as soon as you begin to read it; but do check it out, before you finish it in your own words; before you decide to dismiss it as general knowledge. Even if you accurately interpret and believe 99.99% or more of Gods Bible truth. The .01% or less of misinterpretation can get you into hell. The devil is so slick; don’t be fooled by thinking it is not possible when it comes to you.
Please study this entire message, even if you already know the answers? As I have said; I knew the answers pretty well, and it made good sense, but I was wrong. I was sincere, yes, but sincerely wrong. Please don’t be so self-assured that you would refuse to read this sermon in its entirety. Your eternal life depends on it. Even if you had studied it before, please check it out and refuse to rely on what you already know until you have studied it out for yourself?
Many are risking their salvation by refusing "to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should not hear." Zec 7:11 this message. And many are saying: “I know the truth” but they are risking their salvation, without even knowing it. You see, until you had prayerfully considered all of the following verses and arguments, you remain open to deception. Jesus clearly told us: If you want to inherit eternal life, your spiritual walk won't be business as usual. Why? narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Mat 7:14 Where did you get your spiritual education and interpretation of the Bible from, a good and well meaning pastor. watch out they are not perfect and Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Mat 7:15 Preachers can mislead you if they unintentionally misinterpret some verses. Jesus warned "if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them."Isaiah 8:20. How will we know if they are true Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. Mat 7:17
And you are quick to answer. My pastor is a good, spiritual leader with much fruit. Really is it all fruits or is it a form of godliness, denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 2tim 3:5 The pastors message must be according to the word of God, or there is no light in him. Isaiah 8:20 He might be a very moral person but we are
easily misled by charming charismatic, pious, virtuous, kind and moral religious teachers. Even so, are they workmen of God, are they rightly dividing the Word of God. It is your own responsibility to "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 2Ti_2:15 Just don't believe everything you hear because scripture should not to be interpreted; it should be studied. 2Pe_1:20 2Ti 3:15 Scripture and not the words of preachers are .."able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. Why? because 2Ti 3:16 says: All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
So, we must reproof those who are wrong, even if they are pastors not ridtly dividing the word of Truth, Right? Why should we do this? 2Ti 3:17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. I guess we need to .."grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ..." 2Pe_3:18 We just cannot stay the same; Every person that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Notice that the Bible is clear that some will claim His name and study the Word but they will still be lost "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven."Mat 7:21 Can we keep on sinning after salvation? Heb 10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. Heb 10:27 In other words we must turn from " ..the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; Eph 4:22 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; Eph 4:23 Mat 7:16
Mat 7:18 A good tree cannot bring forth bad fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Mat 7:19
You may not think it possible that you might be misinterpreting
something, but think again!
Study it in a different context for a change, Will you?
The Bible is clear on how we are saved "...by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Eph_2:8 and YES, you probably are. So, you are saved, great! Congratulations! You might be saved, yes, but don’t think yourself to be perfectly safe though!
Consider the devils small little tricks? His aim is to annihilate us. He does it by giving you very small and inconspicuous little misinterpreted half truths, to mislead you! Remember though, it is the little sins, that will corrupt you: for we are fragile. Son_2:15
What does it mean when the Bible says "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 1Pe_5:8 It mean - You are not perfectly safe, and we are not there yet! The Devil can get through to you, if you let him, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully. 1Ti 5:14
He is the deceiver. Ask yourself, if it is impossible for you to fall away from God and lose your salvation in the process, why is The Devil bothering to tempt you? The Bible is clear on this."For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect." Mat_24:24 So, it is clear then; some will present themselves as angels of the light Rev 13:13 and they will deceive those who are saved. if you doubt this, just remember, the Bible is clear "let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. 1Co 10:12 Don't be fooled, saved people can fall! and if you think you can't you probably did already!
Ask yourself this extremely important question: Could this be me? It may not be you, but then again, without you realizing it, it surely can! Many people are so assured of their salvation and their interpretation of Bible facts that the Devil just backs off leaving them "with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. . 2Th 2:10 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 2Th 2:11
I deduce, in order to believe a lie, jou must have the truth first, right?
So, we are being asked" Pro 1:22 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? Pro 1:23 Turn at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you. Pro 1:24 Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; Pro 1:25 But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:
Pro 1:30 ... they despised all my reproof.
Pro 1:31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.
Pro 1:32 For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
Pro 1:33 But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.
1Co 10:7 ..as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.
Dont tempt Christ 1Co 10:9 Murmuring
1Co 10:10 Neither as some of the Israelites also murmured. they were destroyed by the destroyer.
1Co 10:11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
Watch this:
1Co 10:12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
1Co 10:21 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils.
1Co 10:22 Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?
1Co 10:23 All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.
When we resist the Holy Spirit, He will raise some flags. But should we refuse to retain God in our knowledge, God may give us over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Rom 1:28
You know as well as I do, you know the truth, good but study it again! will you? If not for yourself, then do it to help someone else?
So, While studying the Bible you come across a verse that says "..we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. Rom 8:37 and then you might anser -I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Rom 8:38 Rom 8:39
So, we say, there you have it: once saved always saved. Great this is truth! but half truth when misinterpreted. But what does it mean: it means what it says: what is it saying: It is saying that no person (not even the devil) can put a wedge between us and Gods love. Right? You know it’s right! That’s it; don’t read something into this verse that’s not there. So, what is the verse not saying? The verse is not saying that nothing can cause us to stumble, is it now? no its not, be honest and sincere with God! You witness to the fact that you are saved, so be honest and sincere; Is the verse saying, you can’t lose your salvation once you are saved. Think again. We choose to ignore the other facts. Rom 1:28 says: to those who did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
Rom 1:29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
Rom 1:32 Who knowing the judgment of God, commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
The verse it not saying you can't be lost! but Maybe the verse is saying that a saved person can’t turn his back on God -You must know better than that: But, you will come right back at me and say: Nothing can separate us from the love of God Rom 8: 39 this is true
If you stay in Christ, and that is if. nothing can pull you out of hands except you yourself!
Now what is the Bibles message when it comes to not losing your salvation. When you study the Bible, as It is written, verse by verse: "precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: Isa_28:10 and in context; Let’s take a look at the big picture that emerges:
The bible is vividly and unmistakable clear. Mat 12:43 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.
Mat 12:44 Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.
Mat 12:45 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.
This fallen state is compared to a dog returning " to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly.. Pro 26:11 What is this verse saying? This verse is saying: When we surrender our lives to Christ, we are cleansed. The sin which were cleansed of is like vomit- nasty!
When a person gets saved, and he is converted; the devil is kicked out of his life. but if you refuse to guard your heart; when the devil returns to investigate and he finds your life and your heart which use to be his home to be swept and put in order. what happens? He takes up residence again! and its our own fault; we turn back to sin just like a dog who turns back and licks up his vomit! Grouse! – and the devil returns with seven daemons, worse that the ones we once had Mat 12:44,45 - are you tracking? Whether you choose to believe the Bible or not. and whether you choose to twist verses and if you refuse to listen to the Lord. To those who decide to "pull away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should not hear. Zec 7:11 Well the Bible says - your heart will be hardened Heb 3:13 (or could it be that it is already)But exhort one another daily, while it is called Today; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.)
Heb 3:14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;
Heb 3:15 While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation. through your own choice of disobedience,
What is this verses actually saying. It is saying: If you who were once saved, and you neglect your salvation Heb 2:3 pull away from your salvation, not remaining in the faith you started out with, stopping your ears to the warning you get, you are actually choosing to harden your heart by the deceitfulness of sin and all you have broken your relationship with the Holy Spirit. what remains if you persist with this. A fearful awaiting of judgment. What does this mean. This would mean that you would have left your first love Rev 2:4 Is it true, is it Bible? Is it what your preacher is teaching? This is Bible, this is truth, please accept it. Now is the time to pray, now is the time to ask the Lord if you are sincere or rebellious, or are you trying to twist the arm of God. trying to justify living in sin. (by the way, you can't - just ask Adam and Eve) Are you maybe trying to live with one foot in the world. If the shoe fits put it on, or do you suppose yourself to have a shoe in with God? Rev 3:15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
Rev 3:16 So then, because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. giving you up to your own desired dellusion.
Think and Pray about this truth, it's between you and God. You might win this argument by being set in your ways and by being stubborn, but the argument was lost when it comes to ultimate truth (it is what it is!) Now, the Bible has more to say than just that, the Bible does say - The righteous falls seven times and gets up Prov 24:16… and you say: See, the righteous will always get up – Don’t fool yourself! You are certainly not fooling God. Actually, This verse is saying: When you fall (and you will!) get up! if you don’t– you stay refuse to get up, you are staying down aren't you- of course you are!
But you would remind me: Rom_8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Very true- but what is the verse actually saying? The verse is saying. If you are in Christ Jesus and if you steadfastly remain in Him. You won’t be condemned. What is the verse not saying? It is not saying “if you were once saved you can never fall again “This is Bible this is truth! Come on, get real and snap out of it; be honest before God for once? And might be tempted to answer: If you are really saved you just won’t turn on God, and if you turn on God you were really never saved: Wrong! What did the verses say about those who were once enlightened? Be honest now. Saved people can turn against God. And if you refuse this message, who knows, you might be turning against God's truth, right now! and remember, God will give some over to strong delusion. Those who did not retain God in their knowledge. Rom 1:28. Come on, you are English! Be for real! what does retain mean? Your answer will be to God, not to me. Remember to pray! Let’s look at History: Was Satan once righteous and now lost: you know He was! What about Adam and Eve? Think deeper. What about David? Was He not saved, did He not lose His way, Did He not ask God - blot out all mine iniquities. Did he not ask God to give him a clean heart. did He not ask God not to cast him Form God's presence Psa 51:9 Psa 51:10 Psa 51:11
Why did he make that request? I guess because He can’t get lost -right -so wrong! Who are you trying to fool?
The Bible clearly states: If you diligently obey his commandments, and if you continuing in His love and if you choose to obey His Law of liberty and love, refusing to be a forgetful hearer Deut 28:1 only those who continue in it not being a forgetful hearer. will be saved - Right? - Right! Jas_1:25 and let me ask you, what do you think; for what reason could our names be removed from the book of life. It can only be removed it it was there before; So we can be lost afterwards. Deut 29:20 and you would answer. OH, that's Old testament. NO, wrong again. For the whole Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable to teach, to convince, to correct, and to instruct in righteousness,2 tim 3:16
If you believe this Lie from Satan, you are fooled, Sorry! Sad but so undeniably true!
Do you suppose you can live like the Devil and claim the reward, based on the fact that you were saved once. Saved forever by saying "Jesus I give my life to you” once only. You will be saved through this sincere prayer, but will you retain God in your knowledge. It's up to you! you are the only person who sees life through your own eyes. If you lie to yourself you are the person who refuse correction unto salvation and no one else can help you.
Anyway. The parable of the sower explains four kinds of hearers - The ones who retained God in their knowledge where the only ones who were saved; the rest were cast into the fire. Only one kind accepted Christ (the Good ground hearers who stayed with Christ and bearing fruits) Matt 13:3-13:52 Do you take the Bible serious when it says. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away Joh 15:2 These verses is talking about saved people who once abided in the vine and they are not anymore – true or false? How do you read?
Then think about the talents. This is written to inform that you have to use your gifts or you will loose it.
What about the 7 VIRGINS
The bible clearly Says, Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching. In Luke 12:37 So what will happen if you are not watching; if you have oil but not enough to last until the second coming. Rev 2:3, Jesus will come for those who have not fainted.(In order to faint you must be sober, vigilant, and standing first, right?).
I guess it says If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a abonible branch, aisahah 14:19 and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. Joh 15:6 Look at it again, to abide you must have been saved. and for something to wither is must have been alive - what do you think? I know you know what is right - now you just have to admit it before God.
Jesus explained: Matt 13:24 The proclamation and the acceptance of the Kingdom message can be compared to the sowing of and germination of seed. The proclaimed message is pure and perfect, just like good seed; (Like seed, The Word contains everything needed to initiate growth) it’s a perfect message. Matt 13:26 And when it enters the heart it starts to grow, it’s a perfect sprout. The message is meant to produce good fruit, 38-43 it changes into the sons of the Kingdom. So, 19 when anyone hears the Word, it penetrates the heart, but some refuse to understand it, Satan comes and snatches it away:
25And if that doesn’t work he waits until our guard is down and then He sends his own disciples to mislead us.
: 26 So, as we produce fruit, we meet wicked friends tempting and opposing us (pure pressure) they are fruitless tares that constricts our growth. 23but if we allow the Word to shape our understanding we will produce much fruit. Luke 22:31 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: (σινιάζω) To try ones faith to the verge of overthrow (The first step in process of sifting wheat is to loosen the chaff by spreading the wheat over a floor made from stone, then they beat it to separate the edible wheat from the chaff,. .) Satan’s plan is to divide and to conquer, (rock & hard place)and then he wants to beat you up and kick you out)
Luke 22:32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.
:27 Then we ask, Lord, you predestined every person to inherit the Kingdom of God and you gave a good message, so, how is it then that believers become corrupt and immoral and why do they produce bad fruit.
Those who are first will be last and those who are last will be first and every believer will get the very same reward according to our deeds. Christ will be very generous that day matt 22:9, 10,
Others will accept my message; they will be pure as virgins. And they will walk the walk and talk the talk. I will give them the gift of the Holy Spirit but Matt 25:5 Luke 12:45 Many will get tired of waiting and their experience will dull over time, they will not endure until the end, and when they see the bridegroom coming, they will want to spark up their relationship but they will be left without resources commitment. Matt 25:10 and the door will be shut in front of them. Matt 25:11,12 Jesus said, if you refuse the Holy Spirit, you never knew me and I don’t know you, so watch, wait and be ready, I will come with My angels, it will be very unexpectedly, :Matt 25:31,32 When I come, I will sit on the throne of My Glory :49the Angels will gather everybody:42 and I will separate the unrighteous from the righteous and I will proclaim judgments Matt 25: 34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
Not everyone that SAYS LORD What does this verse say. It says there will be some that call on the name of God, they will even cast out prophecy, work miracles and cast out devils but the Lord would have to say to them: go away worker of iniquity
Matt 25:14. Jesus said, I have entrusted you with certain talents according to your own ability; use it or lose it. Some have received only one talent, don’t berry it and don’t hide it, and use it to my glory: matt 25:19 A reckoning is coming. John 18:36
Matt 22:11, 12 There are those who will want to go to heaven without the robe of the righteousness of Christ, but they will be refused and they will be speechless, but, but, but, Matt25 Others will accept my message; they will be pure as virgins. And they will walk the walk and talk the talk. I will give them the gift of the Holy Spirit but Matt 25:5 Luke 12:45 Many will get tired of waiting and their experience will dull over time, they will not endure until the end, and when they see the bridegroom coming, they will want to spark up their relationship but they will be left without resources commitment. Matt 25:10 and the door will be shut in front of them. Matt 25:11,12 Jesus said, if you refuse the Holy Spirit, you never knew me and I don’t know you, so watch, wait and be ready, I will come with My angels, it will be very unexpectedly, :Matt 25:31,32 When I come, I will sit on the throne of My Glory :49the Angels will gather everybody:42 and I will separate the unrighteous from the righteous and I will proclaim judgments.
Rev_22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
