Repent and believe the Gospel

GET RIGHT WITH CHRIST RIGHT NOW, GET DOWN ON BOTH YOUR KNEES AND REPENT. IF WE TRULY LOVE GOD LIKE WE SAY WE DO, THEN LET'S PUT A STOP TO OUR SINNING.  WE CAN FOOL OURSELVES ALL WE WANT, BUT WE CANNOT FOOL GOD!! IT'S A SPIRITUAL WARFARE, YOU CANNOT LET SATAN'S ASSISTANTS CATCH YOU SLIPPING. ARE YOU FORGETTING THE BASICS? IF YOU'RE BEING TEMPTED, PRAY. DO YOU NOT REMEMBER THAT THERE'S POWER BEHIND THE NAME OF JESUS? CAST IT OUT. NO EXCUSES! JESUS GAVE US THE GIFT OF THE HOLY GHOST, THEREFORE WE NEED TO SEEK IT, ACTIVATE IT AND PUT IT TO USE. COME ON… IT'S TIME TO PICK UP OUR CROSS AND GET BACK ON THE NARROW PATH. I KNOW, I KNOW… THE CROSS IS HEAVY, IT'S HURTING YOUR SHOULDER AND IT'S KILLING YOUR BACK, BUT I AM TELLING YOU THE TRUTH. IT'S SO WORTH IT… AND WANNA HEAR A SECRET? IT GETS LIGHTER THE LONGER YOU CARRY IT. THE PROBLEMS IN THIS WORLD MIGHT GET BIGGER, BUT BY THAT TIME YOUR CROSS WILL NO LONGER BE A BURDEN, IT WILL BE YOUR SHIELD, YOUR BRIDGE AND YOUR KINGDOM! 

He is Lord above all

If you are loved by the world, chances are, you don't belong to God. Does your life glorify God, or does it glorify yourself, your dreams, and/or talents?? We cannot serve two masters. We cannot say we love God, and love the world (Js 4:4)! If we love Him, we would obey His commandments, and refrain from sin. If we love Him, we would place Him above everything else! He must increase, but we must decrease! "By this we know that we have come to know Him, if we keep His commandments. The one who says, "I have come to know Him," and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him; but whoever keeps His word, in him the love of God has truly been perfected. By this we know that we are in Him: the one who says he abides in Him ought himself to walk in the same manner as He walked" (1 John 2:3-6).

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. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity (Matt 7:21-23).

REPENT and BELIEVE in the Gospel!

Vanity is no longer me

I just deleted every single picture of me from my iPhone. Pictures I've stored for probably months, and months. Any kind of "selfie" taken has been deleted, for good. Why? He must increase, but I must decrease (John 3:30). Let's face it, as most women, we like to take pictures of ourselves. It makes us feel good, especially when we have made ourselves up, with makeup and such… No, I am not boasting in myself, I boast in Christ alone. You see, He's in the process of purifying and cleansing us from unrighteousness. We are complete in Christ alone, nothing else is needed:) Vanity and sensuality are no longer a part of me! I have died long ago, it is not I who live, but Christ who lives in me. If we truly want to pursue righteousness and holiness in Jesus Christ, we MUST examine ourselves.

Are you your own Savior?

So you believe you can lose your salvation in Christ? If you are truly of Him, you will remain in Him, with the fruit that you bear!

YOUR WORKS DO NOT SAVE YOU; THE WORK ON THE CROSS AND HIS BLOOD SHED SAVES YOU. WE OBEY HIM BECAUSE WE LOVE HIM, THUS, THE FRUIT WE BEAR WILL GLORIFY HIM! REPENT, AND BELIEVE IN THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST!


 If anyone is in Christ, God has made an (everlasting covenant) with them, and God has put His fear/respect/reverence in their heart so they (will not) turn from Him.

If anyone is turned from Him, or "supposedly" turns from Him; God's word testifies the
ir profession of faith was false from the beginning "
I will make an everlasting covenant with them that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; and I will put the fear of Me in their hearts so that they will not turn away from Me" (Jeremiah 32:40).

They went out from us, but they were not really of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out, so that it would be shown that they all are not of us (1 John 2:19). Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come (2 Corinth 5:17). For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus (Phil 1:6).  For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them (Eph 2:8-10).

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand. I and the Father are one (John 10:27-30).

John 7:24

Many false prophets are using Scripture references like "touch not my anointed" and "do my prophets no harm" in order to protect their doctrines and actions from exposure. The word, "judge" has been so perverted that to judge anything is now considered by many to be anti-Christian behavior, and anyone who does so is likely to be labeled as an "accuser of the brethren." According to Scripture, those who do not judge are more likely to be led astray by false doctrines and are less effective witnesses for Christ.

Webster defines the act of judging as "to form an opinion about through careful weighing of evidence and testing of premises." Simply stated, judging is simply the process of evaluation that people naturally employ everyday to make determinations of what is true: we judge when we need to leave to arrive on time to a particular destination; we judge what we should wear based on what the weather is for the day; we judge the credibility of others, etc. Although God alone is the Judge, this does not mean that only God judges. In fact, the Word of God says that God enables man to judge, commands man to judge, and is pleased with those who seek to judge righteously!

Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment (John 7:24).

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth (2 Tim 2:15).
