One the last day, FEW people will make it. In the days of Noah only 8 out of the whole world were saved...

A comment off of a status thread worth sharing:
"...If it was okay to keep sinning, why did Jesus even need to die? What Satan tried to do with his lie to Adam (Ye shall not surely die) was to nullify the punishment for the commandment of God. Satan's formulation of grace does the same thing. The current view of grace is not that God has effectively removed the problem, which is sin, but that God has removed the punishments of His law, thereby making sin non-deadly. That is essentially another way of saying "Ye shall not surely die". Any doctrine that in any way allows sin to remain while removing the penalty of sin is an extension of the first lie. Any attempt to remove the law or the punishment of the law is an extension of "Ye shall not surely die". God's law is good, and the punishments just. Jesus did not come to annul the law. He has established it as immovable for all time. Therefore having provided sufficient grace to remove the problem of sin, God has reinforced His law as just and holy. It is by removing sin that Jesus has removed from all men the excuse that they cannot help themselves and must sin. If even one man can live a life above sin, then all men are without excuse to avail themselves of what God has provided that gives victory and liberty from sin. Grace." -Bro Cope Jesus made it clear if any part of our bodies (the same body He gave us) causes us to sin, then we must cut it off or gouge it out for it is better to enter life maimed than to enter hell whole (and loose everything one was trying to keep including the body). Yet we allow our selves to continue in sin because we find it hard to get rid of things around us (not even a body part) or kill imaginations, ideas and even fantasies (which are not even real) that lead us into sin and eventually if we do not stop, the lake of fire. Not everything that leads us into sin is evil, even GOOD things can be used to lead us into sin. If anything, even things God gave us, causes us to stumble it is best to get rid of it and follow Him. Jesus is more than able to keep us, most do not trust Him with their lives to give it up to Him. This is vital and important. If we are struggling, or periodically falling from our place of victory, its because we have to gouge and cut somethings from the ROOT, somethings we may find hard to part with because they are not evil and sometimes a blessing or a promise from God Himself, yet are a test of who we love more. More on this: Are You Willing to Gouge out Your Eye to Enter Eternal Life? Faith is trusting God's Word.
Fantasy is imaging and producing environments, situations and other thoughts for ones own pleasure. Fantasy is where our desires (lusts) breeds with the enemies lies and brings forth sin. Submit your mind to God and pull down every imagination that leads you away from God, if you find it hard to do, then you may have to completely uproot that desire from the ROOT. Get rid of it. Even the promises and things God gives us material wise, if we can not part with them and they are leading us into sin, it is better to cut them off than hold them and end up in the lake of fire. God gives us our hands and feet but even if they cause us to stumble it's better to get rid of them to enter life... 8If your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life maimed or crippled than to have two hands or two feet and be thrown into eternal fire. 9And if your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell. Matthew 18 Obedience. Many focus on the destination, take their own route in getting there (often sin or stepping a head of God) and call it the storm. The enemy then distracts and leads one into doubt, discouragement and confusion, these are the storms.... The situation change or the promise is the destination. God's Will or our Will is the route we take. Our will is full of storms (the enemies voice)...
Give up everything including the situation and believe it or not, the storm ends. This does not mean the situation changes, but all the wind and rain stops. When you give up everything and live in Jesus (obeying His Words), you actually have left the storm and entered God's rest. Many believe that you have left the storm when the situation changes. This is not true. You leave the storm or it calms when you enter Jesus. When you reach the destination, that's when your situation changes. The enemy lies to us telling us the situation is the storm when in reality it's his voice that is causing the storm (the note one Perception Deception goes into detail about this) we walk right into it, when Jesus is calling us into Him. So you can either choose the rough winds the enemy sends and that will take longer or never get you to your destination OR choose to obey Jesus give up everything and take the peaceful calm route, doing His will and get there on God's time... It's your choice, you do not have to stay in storms or struggle with "sin" (aka struggling with choice), but you do have to wait patiently to get to that destination. Giving up the longing for the destination is where we begin in calming the storm, the enemies initial breeze is to entice and distract us into focusing on what he wants to show us, then drag us into bondage to doubt, fear, anxiety, confusion, discouragement and in the same breath he encourages us through covetousness. We can live in consistent peace, joy and rest if we stay in Jesus (abide in Him and let go of ourselves) and do not let our minds and heart leave. "The enemy's plan is to abort God's seed, his plan is to kill the offspring we are to produce, and he does this by presenting and exalting the wrong ideas in our mind, it conceives when we allow it to settle, we become pregnant when we continue to feed, water and nurture it and eventually we give birth to that offspring by acting it out. The first seed is always to lead us to doubt what God has said, (this is an attempt to kill God's seed: Matthew 13:4,18-19). then he goes nuts leading us away from God. The worse part, is this is what we call spiritual fornication. When we are intimate and become pregnant with the enemies seed and give birth to his child, there is no way we can be children of God, we must repent slay that old self, kill the offspring (the sinful actions of the body Romans 8:13-14) reject the seed of the enemy (his whispers, reasoning's, opinions and imagination), and become pregnant with the seed of God and allow for His child (His Son) to be born in us." From Note: Conception, Pregnancy and Birth of a Child of God or Hell Child of God is not just a title. Many believe they are children of God when they are really children of the devil who have believed a lie and continue to live in sin. Sadly many spread the same lie to defend them selves and their sin selfishly. Children of God, they are alive because self is dead, and Christ, His Word and Truth now Lives in them. There is no hypocrisy or sin. Since my last dreams about meteors i have been asking the LORD what they meant and what is to come. The night I sought Him this is what I received:
I was laying down not yet asleep and saw with my eyes closed a view like a star travelling in space it was moving to the right. It got brighter for a moment, this was when I realized this was not my imagination, I admired it but immediately recognized what it was. It was the same meteor from my past dreams. The vision then stopped. I continued to lay down till I fell sleep. I fell asleep and while in a dream I saw this same vision come again this time a screen like a window took shape and it was like I was watching a projector or movie screen. I saw the same white star, it continued to move then eventually came to the earth. It now had a tail like a comet as it got closer. It came down from the north and touched the earths surface much like the fertilization of an egg, but all of a sudden the earth was surrounded by all these comets with tails, then all of them turned red. Then the scene shifted on the screen and I saw something like a news report people especially Christians where being rounded up and carried off to detention centers, I saw the gates and the barbed wire fences. Then later I had another dream where I and a few people were invaded by these people who were like a military, they came in and forced us to leave, they made us stand in specific ways and hold our hands out. They forced us to make a signal with our hands the thumb had to cover the middle and ring fingers as they curled in (making an "o" shape from the side) and the pinkie and index finger curled as well but not all the way down, it reminded me of something like a bull. We had to hold both hands up like this. Then we were carried off to another room where we had to hold out our bags. I was not given the right instructions in the other room and did not have anything. There was no time to think they immediately took me as if they already knew and pushed me into another room where I was pushed into a woman who then stabbed me under my arm. They held me there wounded and questioned me asking me why I did not comply. They were very stern and strict, it did not even seem like they really cared why or that they even needed me to really follow instructions. It was like they looked for whatever excuse to take me away and abuse me. I wandered why they did not kill me, it seemed as though they preferred to torturer than to kill people right away. I was too weak, all I could say was I do not know, they did not tell me. They were not really listening but kept asking me as if I was not wounded. The dream ended here. It is very possible to believe in Jesus and not believe Jesus and end up in the lake of fire. Those who believe in Jesus have accepted the facts about Him, but that's has far as they go. This has no power to save. Believing Jesus now requires you to believe in Him and pushes that belief into faith in Him. When you believe Jesus you believe His Words, His teaching and His Spirit to the point where you put what He has said into practice.
Many believe in Jesus but believe what man has taught about Jesus, rather than actually believing what Jesus is saying or has said in the scriptures. Do you BELIEVE JESUS? When you do your life changes. We only struggle when we have not yet fully chosen which side to be on. The moment we choose a side it is no longer a struggle. If we make the wrong choice and still want the right choice we then feel bad after about struggling with a choice and making the wrong one.
It is easier to make the right choice if you deny yourself, give up you desires, wants and ambitions and focus on Jesus. Our enemy has A LOT of time on his hands, this is why we must abide in Jesus who has time in His hands. Be encouraged and endure. |
