Bible
verse............Examine yourself as to whether you
are in....'the faith'...prove yourselves, do you not
know yourselves, that......Jesus the Christ is in
you......unless indeed you are
disqualified.......ref/2 Corinthians 13:5. |
.................COMMENT FROM THE PASTOR'S
PEN...................... |
It's not where you come from,
it's where you are today, well, glory halleluyah, Jesus
lifted me, satan had me bound but Jesus set me free,
now I'm on my way to heaven shouting the victory. And
you can be glory bound too. It's very simple, just make
sure that you're...'In the Faith'......walking in
the light of his Word, day after day, for we know not
when he comes.
Your own conscience will tell you whether or not you
are in right standing with Father, that is if your
conscience has not already been seared with the hot
irons of hell and you are past being convicted of
anything sinful anymore........click.
Being in 'the faith' is being in right
standing with the Christ that is being without any
known-sin in your life. This is, in other words, living
your life in accordance to the 'Living
Word of God', the doctrine of Jesus the
Christ. Paul the apostle was asking the Corinthian
Christians to run a check on their hearts (all because
he loved them) to see if they had any 'known - sin' in
their lives that would, could and will disqualify them
from entering into heaven.........ref/Philippians
3:9-11.............click. |

Because that is exactly what
sin does....if not repented of, if not dealt a
death blow, it will bring forth
wages/a payment or pay-back for that sin committed
and that payment will be a death blow to all
involved. We can reap nothing else but what
we sow, says the lord God Omnipotent.............click.
And if we entertain sin in our lives it will
eventually cause us to be disqualified from entering
Messiah's kingdom, if we remain unrepentant
regarding that sin......ref/Hebrews 3:12-15.
When christians are not in right standing with God
and are backslidden into their old selfish, carnal,
sinful, rebellious ways, they forget that Jesus the
Christ even dwells in them and live contrary to the
Doctrine, teaching of the Christ, thinking that they
are saved from eternal hell but are actually
disqualified and have put themselves out of the race
of 'Faith'.
This is more clearly known as deception,
these ones are self-deceived, most probably still
attending a local church somewhere or many local
churches as they fancy and possibly still tithing
for ones own sake of course. Now we know why Messiah
said that there would be weeping and the grinding of
the teeth on the day of the lord. For self is the
most important of all in these people's eyes, yes,
they count their lives very dear to themselves. They
treasure and relish in it, it's their everything and
all, the very thing that Paul the apostle was
opposed to as a servant of the Christ....ref/Acts
20:21-26...............click. |

But you know
what?......there are literally millions of churched
peoples out there right now, riding the fast train
called 'Positive-Thinking' all the way
to hell, singing and a shouting all the way.
Thinking they are heaven bound, simply because they
make positive confessions as they proudly continue
on in their unrepented known-sin. But the truth be
told, they have actually been disqualified by God
himself (tithes and all) in accord with his
unchanging-infallible Word which we are reading
today. Yes, they have been deemed unfit for the
kingdom of God.....ref/2 Timothy 2:5, James 1:12,
Matthew 7:21-23, Luke 6:46, Luke
9:62...........Selah. |
