Life or Death!

We have to get as many people as we can to Heaven. We can’t let them fall by the wayside because we don’t want to offend anyone by speaking truth to power. His Word is truth, and it says, “The truth will set you free”. (John 8:31-32) The Word also says, God changes not. (Malachi 3:6) He is the same yesterday, today and forever. (Hebrews 13:8)

Hebrews 4:12-13 AMPC

¹² For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power [making it active, operative, energizing, and effective]; it is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line of the breath of life (soul) and [the immortal] spirit, and of joints and marrow [of the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts and purposes of the heart.

¹³ And not a creature exists that is concealed from His sight, but all things are open and exposed, naked and defenseless to the eyes of Him with Whom we have to do.

People need to know that God loves them – even in their sin nature. That’s why He died on the Cross to bear our burdens for us, so that we can freely come to Him and receive His mercy and grace. Will you have to change some things? Of course! Anything that is not of the fruit of the Spirit is of Satan.

Galatians 5:19-26 NKJV

19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, 21 envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. 24 And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.

To put it in perspective, our World has increased excessively over the years with sex trafficking little girls and boys, abortions rampant, homosexuality (even in the podium in the churches), hatred, disrespect and the list goes on and on. Why is all of this happening? Money, fame, fortune, and power at the expense of mutilating and destroying lives spiritually, mentally, and physically. God doesn’t hate you, but He does hate the behavior or the sin nature that destroys our bodies, emotions, and Spirit. If you don’t know better, how can you do better? There are some who do know better but choose to live in darkness.

 

I Corinthians 6:15-20 AMP

15 Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Am I therefore to take the members of Christ and make them part of a prostitute? Certainly not! 16 Do you not know that the one who joins himself to a prostitute is one body with her? For He says, “The two shall be one flesh.” 17 But the one who is united and joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him. 18 Run away from sexual immorality [in any form, whether thought or behavior, whether visual or written]. Every other sin that a man commits is outside the body, but the one who is sexually immoral sins against his own body. 19 Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is within you, whom you have [received as a gift] from God, and that you are not your own [property]? 20 You were bought with a price [you were actually purchased with the precious blood of Jesus and made His own]. So then, honor and glorify God with your body.

 Jesus, through His body, that was severely beaten and tortured, died for us to have freedom from sin so we can have access to eternal life in Heaven. Our bodies are not our own but belong to Jesus. His Spirit lives in our bodies and when we sin in our bodies, we are continually nailing Him to the Cross. Whereas, the thing I want you all to pay attention to is how Satan deceives this World to commit acts of sin through the body that puts a stumbling block in front of us to fall and many don’t get back up.

Little by little you learn the value of peace, enjoy and have healthy relationships, and develop a good attitude and gratitude of all the blessings God will bestow upon you and your family. In the end, you will Thank Him for the deliverance from bondage of your sin nature and eternal death.  Eternal means forever, so think about that.

As mentioned before, sin deteriorates your body, mind, and Spirit, leading you to eternal death -which is hell. Remember sin can’t enter Heaven – and eternal is forever! 

I Thessalonians 4:1-6 AMP

 Finally, believers, we ask and admonish you in the Lord Jesus, that you follow the instruction that you received from us about how you ought to walk and please God (just as you are actually doing) and that you excel even more and more [pursuing a life of purpose and living in a way that expresses gratitude to God for your salvation]. 2 For you know what commandments and precepts we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus. 3 For this is the will of God, that you be sanctified [separated and set apart from sin]: that you abstain and back away from sexual immorality; 4 that each of you know how to control his own body in holiness and honor [being available for God’s purpose and separated from things profane], 5 not [to be used] in lustful passion, like the Gentiles who do not know God and are ignorant of His will; 6 and that [in this matter of sexual misconduct] no man shall transgress and defraud his brother because the Lord is the avenger in all these things, just as we have told you before and solemnly warned you 

I don’t have all the answers, but God does and all He is asking of us all is to trust and believe in Him to lead and guide us so that we are taking steps to do things His way so that Families stay together, children are being raised by a Mother and Father, morals and values are being taught in the home, as well as God’s Word - and we all live together with Jesus in Heaven.  

 

Ephesians 5:1-6 AMP

Be Imitators of God

5 Therefore become imitators of God [copy Him and follow His example], as well-beloved children [imitate their father]; ² and walk continually in love [that is, value one another—practice empathy and compassion, unselfishly seeking the best for others], just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and sacrifice to God [slain for you, so that it became] a sweet fragrance.³ But sexual immorality and all [moral] impurity [indecent, offensive behavior] or greed must not even be hinted at among you, as is proper among saints [for as believers our way of life, whether in public or in private, reflects the validity of our faith]. ⁴ Let there be no filthiness and silly talk, or coarse [obscene or vulgar] joking, because such things are not appropriate [for believers]; but instead speak of your thankfulness [to God]. ⁵ For be sure of this: no immoral, impure, or greedy person—for that one is [in effect] an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God [for such a person places a higher value on something other than God].

⁶ Let no one deceive you with empty arguments [that encourage you to sin], for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience [those who habitually sin].
