My house will be called a House of Prayer Matthew 21:13
I had a video sermon I was not too happy with but then I realized it matters. And so in light of that this blog has come to light.
- The Great Commission was given to go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. Mark 16:15 and it is to evangelize the word of God
- He came to divide with a sword being the word of his mouth. Luke 12:51-53
King James Version: 51 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division: 52 For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three. 53 The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
- There are conditions for those who are born again. John 3:3 They must be covered in the blood which means washed in the blood. They must become him and be consumed by him. They must be faithful and remain fruitful as a branch connected to the Vine.
- The real way is a Straight Gate and it is also a way of life to be a true Christian. There are many false converts and people do Fall Away. The wages of sin is death and there are many people who know about Jesus but don't really know him. So many are under the impression that because he paid the price you can do whatever you want and say I believe in Jesus. Many people are dumbfounded from really knowing that hell is a real place and so many of the multitudes are headed there. This is the point. The world worships the devil because he deceives the whole world. This is why the Bible says few be there that find it in their lifetime that narrow way. It's not the broad path at all. It's a straight gate,!
- So many do not know the suffering Messiah who was referred to as the suffering servant. He was despised and rejected. He was a man well acquainted with sorrow. And they say if we were in his day we would not have rejected him as they are liars. Yet in his day he drew large crowds that made the Pharisees jealous. He was not like anyone else. And Moses and Isaiah wrote about him.
- The Christianity of the first two centuries was different and they wouldn't recognize the modern Christianity. That is because it has been molded into something that is very different. It's not just that we live in the modern day but they in the first two centuries actually lived more abundantly a natural and a wholesome Way. Not that they didn't have their fornication and sinful back sliders like we have today because they did. And not that people in the last two thousand years did not live a life close to that because probably there are different groups that did. Such is the remnant as described by the Bible that keeps the Commandments of God.
- There are two important points that Jesus made being that your family will be your worst enemies. Matthew 10:36 The other is that when persecution comes people become offended and drop the seed. He said be faithful unto death and I will give you a Crown of Life. To pick up your cross is to live in the truth that the world rejects. Even Hollywood and rich people develop or have a very obscure vision of Jesus Christ and whom he really was or is. Once you have been purchased by the world you can be so far removed from the truth that you truly end up in hell.
- The Bible says to contend for the faith once delivered unto the Saints. To expose the works of darkness by re-proving/reproofing them. When we see error and we see things covered up we are to expose them with the word of God. But not to the point where we are disobeying the Vine. Because it is true that God highly esteem's a contrite individual. But he also will puke out of his mouth the lukewarm. It is true that the devil is the god of this world. And it is too easy to serve two masters and many people do this and then they being even true Christians either deny it when they are confronted or remain blind.
- It is true that the true God is relationship and not religion. And the thief on the cross was not dependent on what denomination he went to or what Bible verse he read or even if he believed in the Trinity or the Godhead. God is merciful and understanding especially when somebody is truly repenting. In his case he was nailed to a cross bleeding/dying and in front of the true Jesus CRUCIFIED Christ. To repent is to turn around from that way of life which is sinful. Jesus said that people search the scriptures because in them they think they have eternal life. It is doing and not just reading. Knowing the word of God is valuable but even the devil knows it. Demons tremble at hearing the name of the Lord. The Lord made this statement that people will keep their own traditions making to none effect the word of God. That means they nullify it and they worship Him in vain. It's useless and meaningless. Matthew 15:9
- God is merciful and we are under grace and he is love but it is an eternal love. (not CARNAL) God's ways are higher than men's ways. Even the devil believes that his way will overcome GOD's ways. But God allows him so much and in the end it's God's will that shall be done because the devil is already cast out. His time is short and the Lord triumphed over him, over those principalities on the cross. But that doesn't mean that life is not hard because it is for so many people. Very few people know how to love as the Messiah. His own father said this is my son in whom I am well pleased listen to HIM. They hated him Without a cause. That is the Pharisees and religious leaders. They loved their position in the world. In their religious outfit. I say in the world because the word of God tells us in James 4:4 not to befriend the world. You are to love your neighbor as yourself. That's true. But even in modern time you don't know who your neighbor is. Could be somebody really wicked that is dangerous. I remember in conversation with friends they would say years ago you would see people outside in their front yard or their porch more but mainly in the summer? They're absent. Many people live inside and they're consumed by the television and by electronic devices. They're consumed by worldliness and that blinds them to the true walk with Christ or even being deceived massively.
- There is a great distinction to God to what is a whore. We are to keep the temple holy. 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 Jesus said only God is good and there's not even one. You know he said that John the Baptist is one of the greatest Prophets and there was nobody greater than him. We had great prophets like Elijah that was highly anointed yet with all of this and even with the apostles he said there is not even one. Only God is good. God is Holy beyond anyone's wildest imaginations. People cannot digest this.
- Although we have biblical churches today and many different denominations there are a few that come close the truth. Biblical but not just just biblical. The true Christian's of the first century were mainly Jewish but there were other people from other countries eventually that were added to the body of Christ. You know other kinds such as the Greeks and perhaps even some Romans. There were people God used that were never truly saved but he would have it that none perish. Out of Judaism came biblical Christianity. What is important is the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. To believe it and to live it. If somebody's name is not written or but striked out of the Lamb's Book of Life that is serious. The Bible warns about adding to prophecy or diminishing it. There is a way that appears right to a man but in the end it's the way of death.
- The Jewish people after the Exile I believe were instructed to keep the Sabbath. Today they still keep the Sabbath and they keep it also awaiting for their Messiah that truly will be an Antichrist. The god of this world has blinded them just as counterfeit Christians. This is very true. We are not under the law but under grace. If a brother or sister keeps the Sabbath it should be done to give God respect/glory and as a Sabbath rest. Even if they met on the first day of the week when Paul was around Jesus being the Jewish Christ who is the unblemished Lamb of God kept the Sabbath. If we are in Christ how could we do things different? If he is the Vine and we do things different it doesn't seem right. In fact it is disobedience. When he says he will tell people he doesn't know them it is for lawlessness. If somebody extends grace to you but you abuse it that is not right. He said to turn the other cheek and to love each other. He said two Commandments hinge on all the rest. Love each other and worship God, love him with everything you GOT! He gave us the clues yet even with that people are still dumbfounded.
- To be like your master is to know you're master. He demonstrated who he was to the prostitute when he drew the line in the sand and said the first one without sin throw the first stone. Even when we say true Christians if they say they are without sin they are liars. They are seen as a whiter than snow because they are truly saved. But that doesn't mean that they are perfect. Only God is perfect.
- You cannot be a new creation and be in Christ and in the world. They are Polar Opposites. Oh you can be but it doesn't work. And it is disobeying the Vine. For myself personally people judge and will judge but I have forsaken those ways. I don't have any albums left or even tapes or CDs. In other words I forsaken almost everything even instruments. To be simple. The simplicity of the Gospel. To live a holy life. You have to let go of the world. You have to obey the Vine. Its a cross.
- People make it like the Jews aren't saved. In other words there are no true believers among them but there are and they're even were in the day of the Lord. The prophets were Jewish mainly. What I see is that people are trying to hold on to the world and the life they know. With this plan / pandemic even celebrities miss the stage but we can call it a craft. Meanwhile back at the ranch while the gospel is being preached on the streets and in buildings the evil one is reeking havoc. He doesn't let up. You see if you're in the world and you love the world you don't have the love of the father and although you think so it doesn't go anywhere but to hell. You can't serve two masters. You will love one and despise the other and the Lord said you then make his word to none effect. John 2:16 His house will be called a House of Prayer.
Isaiah 37:31 Jeremiah 23:3-6 KJVn
In closing I want to reiterate there is a parable about buying the field which is likened to getting into heaven. Matthew 13:44-46 and then that man sold all he had to buy that field. People will be pressing in. Have you ever seen the lineup that's huge when there is a blowout sale? People line up for blocks and then even come a day before just to buy things. But did these very people think about their soul being saved. But on the day of judgement there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. (Spiritual bodies). All of a sudden so many people will beg to get it but they will also get Eternal Damnation which is not pleasant. Now all that earthly stuff of idolatry and admiration is useless. But the one who purchased that field their soul is eternally secure. Are you saved? Do you know the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ and do you believe it? There is no other name given man in which he can find salvation.
It will be called The House of Prayer 7:21 a.m. this morning
