Know for sure what God’s Word REALLY says
“Watching pornography will lead to Hellfire. Don’t get caught in this trap of the Devil. Lust is the same as adultery of the heart. God calls it a sin and in order to get lust out of your life, you will need to take drastic measures, but it will be worth it in the end!”

Jesus calls us to triumph over evil, to destroy the works of the devil and to build His kingdom. Jesus calls us to victory, not to defeat. If we follow Jesus and we remain in Him we are more than conquerers, because He goes ahead of us and He is in us.
Most professing Christians are losers. They cannot even stop sinning. They say we are all sinners. They are slaves to sin. They have no self-control, they cannot contain the lusts of their flesh. They are compromisers. They are fearful, giving in to satan without resistance. They say they believe in Jesus and they believe they are saved but they are no different from the world. They search the scriptures and study the end time prophecies, predicting the sudden return of Jesus. They hope for a rapture, for Jesus to pick them up and fly them to heaven before the great tribulation starts.
They are deceived and lost. lovers of pleasure, rather than lovers of God. They just believe in Jesus, but they do not follow and obey Him. That is why they are powerless against the devil. They are not conquering. They are not building the kingdom of God and they will have no inheritance in the kingdom of God.
We have to follow Jesus, then we will conquer, overcome and win. We read in Revelation 21:7-8
“He who overcomes will inherit these things, and I will be his God and he will be My son. “But for the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”
Are we conquering? Are we overcoming? Are we following Jesus?
May Jesus bless you.

“Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.”
– Jesus in Mt. 5:9
Adulterers and adulteresses are those who commit adultery. Adultery is sexual perversion, it is unholiness, it is sex outside of the holiness of marriage. But we know from the words of Jesus that adultery is not limited to the physical outward act. Adultery starts with the heart, it starts with your thoughts inside of you. That is why Jesus said to men, if you lust after a woman you have already committed adultery in your heart.
If you are a young lady or woman I want to speak to you today about modesty. Modesty is VERY important if you are choosing to follow Jesus, because if you dress immodestly you are in danger of becoming an adulteress, and as we know adulteresses will NOT inherit the kingdom of God.
If you are not sure what it looks like to dress modestly ask a brother in the Lord, maybe ask your dad. If men are honest, they will tell you what it means to dress modestly, and if you are honest with yourself you will know what it means to dress modestly also.
If you are wanting to follow Jesus and be a sister in the Lord, make sure that you dress modestly, otherwise you are in danger of being an adulteress, and adulterers and adulteresses have absolutely no part in the kingdom of God.
Once Saved Always Saved? Don’t Be Fooled Don’t be fooled because all works will be judged. If you say that you are a Christian and you think you have eternal security, check to make sure that you are really right with Jesus because many Christians the Lord will say to; “Away from me you who sin, I do NOT know you.” Make sure that you are really with Jesus and doing His will. Maybe you’re fooling yourself. Maybe you’re convincing yourself you’re going to heaven even though you are in sin because you think you believe in Jesus. Many Christians He will turn away. I encourage you to check your heart. Do you have sin in your life? And if you do what sin do you need to repent of to be right with the Lord? Because Jesus is not going to make an exception for you. Make sure that you are right with the Lord and endure with Him until the very end. Don’t believe anyone who tells you that you can just say a prayer, keep on sinning and be saved in the end. There is no such thing as easy salvation, either you follow Jesus and endure with Him to until the end, or you live for yourself, you keep on sinning, and in the end, you will meet your destruction. May the grace of Jesus be with you.
We only have the hope of salvation IF we follow Jesus Christ and AS LONG as we follow Jesus, and stay with Him. …
We have to deny ourselves every day, pick up our cross and follow Jesus Christ. To follow Jesus is not an easy way, because we have to follow HIS WAY. We cannot follow our own way or the ways of the world. We have to follow the ways of Jesus. We have to be led by the Holy Spirit and do what Jesus commands us to do. We have to serve Him and His kingdom. Our life must be about Jesus, not about ourselves. We are here to serve Jesus and His kingdom. We have to follow Him every day until the very end. We do not have salvation yet. We have the HOPE of salvation if we follow Jesus Christ and obey Him until the very end.

“You can drink this kind of water when it’s hot, and you can drink it when it’s freezing cold, but you cannot drink it when it’s lukewarm. It acts like an emetic, and it just makes you sick. You just vomit.” – David Pawson
We’ve reached Rev. 3:14-22 which was the last of Jesus’ letters. It was to Laodicea and Jesus used the local geological feature of thermal water with salts to make a point. When it was fresh out of the ground, it was boiling hot and drinkable. When it reached Laodicea it was lukewarm and made you physically sick. That picture is used by Jesus to show how He feels about this church. This church was further away from the ‘throne of Satan’ at Pergamum, than the other churches and so were not troubled with any persecution. It was an insult to Jesus that they really couldn’t care one way or the other about faithful obedience. Well this church was like that. Because of their half hearted discipleship, Jesus said He is on the verge of spewing the church out of His mouth. Half hearted discipleship makes Jesus sick. If a husband or wife felt that way about their other half, divorce would result.

Hebrews 10:26 For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more a sacrifice for sins, 27 but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which will devour the adversaries. 28 A man who disregards Moses’ law dies without compassion on the word of two or three witnesses. 29 How much worse punishment, do you think, will he be judged worthy of, who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant with which he was sanctified an unholy thing, and has insulted the Spirit of grace? 30 For we know him who said, “Vengeance belongs to me,” says the Lord, “I will repay.” Again, “The Lord will judge his people.” 31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

Jesus in Mt. 5:43-48:
“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor, and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love 
your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you, that you may be children of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Don’t even the tax collectors do the same? If you only greet your friends, what more do you do than others? Don’t even the tax collectors do the same? Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.”
Pastors need to repent and apologize to be clean.
And the people need to stop trusting pastors, and research what the Bible really says about who goes to heaven…
…while we still have time to get ready!!
The Bible says: “*believe* and be baptized.” Babies can’t believe.
Children also are not accountable until they *can* believe — and then can knowingly and willingly follow Christ — overcoming sin by His grace — life in the Son.
Infant baptism gives people false hope that just because they were infant baptized they’re now going to heaven — without being truly born-again and without following Christ.
This isn’t right.

My response to Michael Brown’s Charisma Article: Why I Never Drink Alcohol, 9/19/2017
Teachers who say Christians should never drink alcohol are going beyond what the Bible says, prohibiting something the Bible does not prohibit. The Bible handles the subject differently, giving guidelines on how to be wise about how much to drink. Also, many studies show that drinking alcohol in moderation can be healthy, which relates to what Paul said to Timothy 2000 years ago, and as Michael said in the article: Jesus turned the water into wine.
Michael says:
“The lesson here is that we should put greater emphasis on helping weaker brothers and sisters than on enjoying our liberty.”
Michael derives this from a lesson that was about eating *food sacrificed to idols,* which the apostles concluded in Acts 15:20 was a sin — taboo. Michael then applies this to drinking alcohol, which is not in the Acts-15 list, implying we should be as he is, to not drink any alcohol at all.
The truth is we can also stumble others by calling something a sin that is not a sin, placing burdens on others that the Bible doesn’t place on them.
Paul’s elders’ qualifications:
Additionally, in Paul’s elders’ qualifications in both 1 Timothy and Titus, Paul does not prohibit overseers from drinking alcohol. Instead, he says leaders must not be “given to wine” (KJV) / “addicted to wine” (NASB).
An overseer, then, must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate*, prudent, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not addicted to wine** or pugnacious, but gentle, peaceable, free from the love of money. He must be one who manages his own household well….. And he must have a good reputation with those outside the church, so that he will not fall into reproach and the snare of the devil. (1 Tim. 3:2-4, 7 NASB)
…appoint elders in every city as I directed you, namely, if any man is above reproach, the husband of one wife, having children who believe, not accused of dissipation or rebellion. For the overseer must be above reproach as God’s steward, not self-willed, not quick-tempered, not addicted to wine**, not pugnacious, not fond of sordid gain, but hospitable, loving what is good, sensible, just, devout, self-controlled***, holding fast the faithful word…. (Tit. 1:5-9 NASB)
* temperate from HELPS Word-studies:
Cognate: 3524 nēpháleos (an adjective, derived from 3525/nḗphō, “to be sober”) – properly, not intoxicated, free from negative influences (intoxicants); (figuratively) clear-minded; circumspect (“sober”), free from life-dominating influences.
** not addicted to wine (NASB) or given to wine (KJV), from Thayer’s Greek Lexicon:
STRONGS NT 3943: πάροινος
πάροινος, πάροινον, a later Greek word for the earlier παροίνιος (παρά (which see IV. 1) and οἶνος, one who sits long at his wine), given to wine, drunken: 1 Timothy 3:3; Titus 1:7; (others give it the secondary sense, ‘quarrelsome over wine’; hence, brawling, abusive).
***self controlled from HELPS Word-studies
4998 sṓphrōn (from sōos, “sound, safe” and 5424 /phrḗn, “inner outlook” which regulates outward behavior) – properly, safe (sound) because moderated, referring to what is prudent because correctly (divinely) balanced (which is far more than being “the middle of the road”).
4998 /sṓphrōn (“acting in God’s definition of balance“) makes someone genuinely temperate, i.e. well-balanced from God’s perspective. True balance is not “one-size-fits-all” nor is it blandly static. Biblical moderation (4998 /sṓphrōn) describes “a man who does not command himself, but rather is commanded by God‘” (K. Wuest, Word Studies, 2, 46). This root (sōphro-, “soundness”) then reflects living in God-defined balance.
Why isn’t this mentioned anymore?:
Paul says in Galatians 5 that drunkenness will keep a person from inheriting the kingdom, and “Those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts.”
The church needs to know that drunkenness is a salvation issue — a sin by which many are going to hell, including those who have been born-again.
The fear of the Lord is to help us keep from sinning. The fear of the Lord should be taught to help people decide how to treat alcohol.
True Christians are led by the Holy Spirit:
“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.” (Rom. 8:14).
The Holy Spirit will help us know what the balance is on many things, including alcohol, instead of teaching a prohibition that the Bible does not teach.
What the Bible really says about who goes to heaven needs to be again taught in the church, which I do here:
Mt. 16:24: 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. 25 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, and whoever will lose his life for my sake will find it. 26 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? 27 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.

I wrote these comments:
Jesus spoke to me in a dream that I was in danger of going to hell *merely* for lusting while watching TV. I then did a careful study, and write what the NT really says here, which includes my dream:
“Not everyone who SAYS to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he who DOES the will of my Father who is in heaven.” – Jesus in Mt. 7:21

“Blessed is the man who endures temptation, for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life, which the Lord promised to those who love him. – James 1:12 (KJV)
Francis Chan, transcribed by me:
“When I look at Paul’s life, and he goes around telling everyone he can — people are beating him up, spitting on him, stoning him, whipping him, whatever, but he wasn’t going to stop. I look at that, I go: ‘see, but that makes sense.’ Don’t you look at his life and go: ‘in light of hell, his life makes sense.’ Right? And that’s what bugs me. His life makes sense, because if I really believed in a literal hell….”
One person commented:
Chan was talking about Penn of Penn and Teller, I believe. Ive seen where someone from Way of the Master talked to Penn and that was his response, about how much do you hate someone not to tell them about hell.
Paul “always having a conscience void of offense toward God and men” (Acts 24:16) also makes sense in light of hell. His conscience needed to be clear for his own salvation, as well as to be qualified to lead others.

I compiled this chart from: CALVINISM VS ARMINIANISM COMPARISON, Calvinism vs Arminianism – Comparison Chart and The Comparison of Calvinism and Wesleyan Arminianism. Emphasis mine.

CALVINISM VS ARMINIANISM COMPARISON CHART
The Five Points of Calvinism, also known as the acronym T.U.L.I.P. and the Five Points of Arminianism
| CALVINISM | ARMINIANISM |
| T – Total Inability or Total Depravity | Free-Will or Human Ability |
| Because of the fall, man is unable of himself to savingly believe the gospel. The sinner is dead, blind, and deaf to the things of God; his heart is deceitful and desperately corrupt. His will is not free, it is in bondage to his evil nature, therefore, he will not – indeed he cannot – choose good over evil in the spiritual realm. Consequently, it takes much more than the Spirit’s assistance to bring a sinner to Christ – it takes [complete – ed.] regeneration by which the Spirit makes the sinner alive and gives him a new nature. Faith is not something man contributes to salvation but is itself a part of God’s gift of salvation – it is God’s gift to the sinner, not the sinner’s gift to God. | Although human nature was seriously affected by the fall, man has not been left in a state of total spiritual helplessness. God graciously enables every sinner to repent and believe, but He does not interfere with man’s freedom. Each sinner possesses a free will, and his eternal destiny depends on how he uses it. Man’s freedom consists of his ability to choose good over evil in spiritual matters; his will is not enslaved to his sinful nature. The sinner has the power to either cooperate with God’s Spirit and be regenerated or resist God’s grace and perish. The lost sinner needs the Spirit’s assistance, but he does not have to be regenerated by the Spirit before he can believe…. |
| CALVINISM | ARMINIANISM |
| U – Unconditional Election | Conditional Election |
| God’s choice of certain individuals unto salvation before the foundation of the world rested solely in His own sovereign will. His choice of particular sinners was not based on any foreseen response of obedience on their part, such as faith, repentance, etc. On the contrary, God gives faith and repentance to each individual whom He selected. These acts are the result, not the cause of God’s choice. Election therefore was not determined by or conditioned upon any virtuous quality or act foreseen in man. Those whom God sovereignly elected He brings through the power of the Spirit to a willing acceptance of Christ. Thus God’s choice of the sinner, not the sinner’s choice of Christ, is the ultimate cause of salvation. | God wants to save all men. Those who respond to the call of His Spirit are the elect or the predestinated. (Marston, n.d., n.p.) “God, by an eternal purpose, has determined to save in Christ, and for His sake, all who through the grace of the Holy Spirit believe on Jesus and persevere in faith and obedience to the end.” (Failing, 1978, pp.2-3) |
| CALVINISM | ARMINIANISM |
| L- Limited Atonement/ Particular Redemption | Universal Redemption or General Atonement |
| The atonement of Christ, which was to be the basis for salvation, needed only to include those whom God had already chosen to save. All others, therefore, would be excluded. | Christ’s redeeming work made it possible for everyone to be saved but did not actually secure the salvation of anyone. Although Christ died for all men and for every man, only those who believe on Him are saved. His death enabled God to pardon sinners on the condition that they believe, but it did not actually put away anyone’s sins. Christ’s redemption becomes effective only if man chooses to accept it. |
| CALVINISM | ARMINIANISM |
| I – Irresistible Grace or the Efficacious Call of the Spirit | The Holy Spirit Can Be Effectually Resisted |
| In addition to the outward general call to salvation which is made to everyone who hears the gospel [but is only available to those whom God chooses – editor], the Holy Spirit extends to the elect a special inward call that inevitably brings them to salvation. The internal call (which is made only to the elect) cannot be rejected; it always results in conversion. By means of this special call the Spirit irresistibly draws sinners to Christ. He is not limited in His work of applying salvation by man’s will, nor is He dependent upon man’s cooperation for success. The Spirit graciously causes the elect sinner to cooperate, to believe, to repent, to come freely and willingly to Christ [how is it ‘gracious’ and ‘freely’ if it can’t be resisted – editor?]. God’s grace, therefore, is invincible; it never fails to result in the salvation of those to whom it is extended. | The entire process (election, redemption, regeneration) is the work of God and is by grace alone. Thus God, not man, determines who will be the recipients of the gift of salvation. | The Spirit calls inwardly all those who are called outwardly by the gospel invitation; He does all that He can to bring every sinner to salvation. But inasmuch as man is free, he can successfully resist the Spirit’s call. The Spirit cannot regenerate the sinner until he believes; faith (which is man’s contribution) proceeds and makes possible the new birth. Thus, man’s free will limits the Spirit in the application of Christ’s saving work. The Holy Spirit can only draw to Christ those who allow Him to have His way with them. Until the sinner responds, the Spirit cannot give life. God’s grace, therefore, is not invincible; it can be, and often is, resisted and thwarted by man. |
| CALVINISM | ARMINIANISM |
| P – Perseverance of the Saints | Falling from Grace |
| All who are chosen by God, redeemed by Christ, and given faith by the Spirit are eternally saved. They are kept in faith by the power of Almighty God and thus persevere to the end. | Those who believe and are truly saved can lose their salvation by failing to keep up their faith, etc. | Arminius was of the firm conviction that all men are free moral agents both before and after they are converted. |
