Self-esteem comes from right standing with Christ through self-denial!

Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If anyone desires to come after me, let him *deny himself*, and *take up his cross*, and *follow me*. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, and whoever will lose his life for my sake will find it. For what will it profit a man, if he gains the whole world, and forfeits his life? Or what will a man give in exchange for his life? For the Son of Man will come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he will render to everyone *according to his deeds*. – Mt. 16:24-27

Safety in His arms!
I love this cartoon — and often think in this actual guardrails’ term!
God’s ways are there to protect us — for our good. We should embrace them, and walk the narrow path with head held high. Demons lie at the door and wait for us to jump God’s loving guardrails.
When we keep in step with the Holy Spirit — keeping our hands and hearts clean — We’re safe in the way of freedom that leads to eternal life in Christ Jesus!
“But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won’t fulfill the lust of the flesh.” (Gal. 5:16)

God’s commandments are there for our protection, not to confine us. We ignore them to our own peril. February 16, 2014
“Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.”
– Romans 12:19 NKJV.
“Throughout your life people will make you mad, disrespect you and treat you badly. Let God deal with the things they do, cause hate in your heart will consume you too.”

“The true man of God is heartsick, grieved at the worldliness of the Church, grieved at the toleration of sin in the Church, grieved at the prayerlessness in the Church. He is disturbed that the corporate prayer of the Church no longer pulls down the strongholds of the devil.”

Crucial to be led by the HOLY Spirit in relationships.
It’s better to be single than disobey God, going against what we know is right to do.
Many aren’t even married in God’s eyes, because they married someone who was unbiblicaly qualified to remarry, or they were…:

I got this while preparing for a talk with Rick on Aug, 9,1990, regarding the founder:
“Our eyes are full of sawdust. We can’t see clearly to see the kingdom. There is might and there is power and there is glory, but it is being withheld until these relationships are made right, until we love our brother enough to feel his hurt deeply and say kind words of salve that heal their souls.
[___] can do this. This is vital. They are necessary. For he must do this for healing to occur. He is a man of integrity in many ways.
Fear must decrease. Love must increase. He will fight and he will win the battle over the stronghold of fear and unforgiveness, sayeth the Lord.”
The pre-trib rapture is a demonic deception designed to keep Christians off guard during the last days.
No church ever taught it prior to the 1800s. The rapture happens at the second coming, after the tribulation.

Howard Pittman was told this 2.5% figure at the gate of heaven 30 years ago (having died on the way to the hospital), before internet porn even existed, before the low-cut-top epidemic hit America, when more people were honest, and hate and anger wasn’t off the charts — before once-saved-always-saved became the norm.
The figure is likely less than 2.5% now.

It’s amazing to me that HARDLY ANY STUDY what the New Testament really teaches about WHO GOES TO HEAVEN. What subject could be more important? There are very few BEREANS today, whom Paul said were “more noble.” They CHECKED the scriptures daily to make sure what Paul taught them was true.
It’s just common sense to make sure, right? Especially when the Bible predicted that false doctrine would prevail in the last days:
“For the time will come when they *will not listen to the sound doctrine*, but, having itching ears, will heap up for themselves teachers *after their own lusts*; and will *turn away their ears from the truth*, and turn aside to *fables*.” – 2 Tim. 4:3-4

When you tell someone ‘do not judge,’ you are being hypocritical.
First, you have to judge that they are being judgmental.
Second, you have to judge that what they are doing is wrong.
Thus, you have violated your own standard for not judging others.
Instead, understand the entire Bible’s teaching on judging so you can do as Jesus instructed.
“Do not judge according to appearances, but make a righteous judgment.

“And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man’s work, pass the time of your SOJOURNING here IN FEAR.”
Stop saying you love Jesus Christ if you have immodest, ungodly photos, videos on your Facebook page. Remove them or face the wrath of God.
God isn’t mocked. your blood is not on my hands since I have warned you. Jesus Christ is going to judge all in word and deed! REPENT!
