They proclaim and confess they know God, but surely they swear falsely.

As many as shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved, if they have believed the report. But to whom is the holy arm of the Lord revealed? He that has clean hands and a pure heart. He who humbles himself, fears God and trembles at his word. But All we like sheep have gone astray. Every man and his brother eating swine's flesh, working evil with both hands earnestly. Speaking lies in hypocrisy. Traditions of men making void the word of God. None doing any good. Man's righteousness is as filthy rags. "Our lips are our own. Who is lord over us?" They proclaim and confess they know God, but surely they swear falsely. Come out of her my people.

Even the Devils believe and tremble. So what is it that you say you know God but walk in darkness? It's past the harvest time. The reapers have separated the wheat and gathered them into the barn, while the briers and thorns are rejected, bound up for the fire. A certain looking for of judgement has come upon the wicked, The heathen rage and the people follow lying vanities. 
The leaders of nations counsel together to oppose the Anointed Christ of God.
Changing the holy commandments into abominations. The whole world lies in wickedness. The godly man ceases and the faithful pine away. AWAY WITH HIM! CRUCIFY HIM! Afresh. Daily. Treading on the Righteous Blood of Christ.
They will soon see Jesus whom they have pierced and crucified afresh, putting Him  to an open shame. This same Jesus who God made both LORD and CHRIST, To return in clouds of glory with ten thousands of His saints and an innumerable company of angels. To execute vengeance on the ungodly and all their ungodly deeds and hard words against the Christ of God. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when they see they have been cast into outer darkness along with that old serpent, the Devil and his angels who lost their first estate by transgression and are reserved into outer darkness with chains to be cast into the lake of fire along with all those who have not the seal of the Holy Ghost upon their foreheads: Sorcerers, whoremongers, murderers, adulterers, unbelievers, and those who love to make lies.

All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.”

STAND FOR THE READING OF THE WORD:
“How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world. But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you. But Esaias is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me. But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.”   (Romans‬ ‭10:14-21‬ ‭KJV‬‬)

YOU MAY BE SEATED.
And now is apostasy in the church. The departing from the faith.  As Israel became idolatrous and committing FORNICATIONS with all the nations around her, marrying the sons and daughters of Belial, setting up golden calves to worship the gods of silver and gold, so has the church become the synagogue of Satan, “and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.”  (Revelation‬ ‭18:2‬ ‭KJV‬‬)

The golden calves are the altars of the synagogue of Satan whose ministers are conformed to the delusions of the people worshipping demons through the lusts of the eyes and ears, "giving heed to seducing spirits". The Devil, having great wrath, knows he has but a short time left to destroy souls before he is cast into the lake of fire along with his angels and all those whose names are not written in the Book of Life. “But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.”  (2 Timothy‬ ‭3:13‬ ‭KJV‬‬)

JESUS warned his disciples and all those th whom he has given power to become the sons of God, that many DECEIVERS shall enter into the world, proclaiming, LO, HERE IS CHRIST!.
These are all those who are governed by their senses, having not the Spirit of Christ.
Abominations of generations, From Muslim prayer towers and Hindu gods, to Mormon tabernacles and desolate churches, all made with unclean hands and doctrines of Devils. Conforming to the culture of darkness and the god of this world through lust.

How can we escape if we neglect so great a salvation the grace of God has brought to every man and has showed it to every man. So no one has an excuse to say, "I am ignorant of my Creator, I can not perceive the Godhead". Because they no longer want to retain knowledge of God, the Creator and Maker of heaven and earth and all things therein. God's Holy Spirit striving with all flesh, that they should repent and depart from all iniquity, "teaching us who have been born again to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts, to live soberly and righteously in this present world"

EXCEPT YE BE BORN AGAIN, YOU CANNOT ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN".
This is where Satan's sons and daughters are made manifest to deceive and hinder precious souls from entering into the kingdom of God. Given over to vile affections by abusing their own bodies and going after strange flesh. While the spiritual wickedness found in high places of local, regional and executive, legislative , and judiciary branches of governments, ungodly and profane men and women corrupting themselves and filling the land with violence. Betrayers of the innocent blood, Thieves and murderers appear as doctors of the law and scientists of enlightenment. As a snare upon the whole world, darkness has come, and gross darkness upon the people.

"Help Lord, for the godly man perishes, and the faithful fail among the children of men."

E K K L E S I A 161

they burn in their lusts until they are consumed as stubble before the fire.

Because people in these perilous days of corruption, swearing, thefts, and murders, are willfully sinning against their Creator, the wrath of God has held back the peace and good will toward men. Their is none who seek the kingdom of God and his righteousness, because all of peoples' imaginations are evil continuously. From the rising of the sun til the going down of the same, both men and women think iniquitous thoughts to perform evil with both hands earnestly. The corrupt communications from the power of the air into the ears and upon the eyes to make provision for the lusts of the sons and daughters of Belial, to perpetuate the gross darkness upon the inhabitants of the earth and of the sea, "for the Devil has come down upon you, with great wrath, knowing he has but a short time". 

Lamentations, misery and woe! The day of the Lord is near. Very near. A time of peril. A time of great trouble. The rod has blossomed and evil is brought forth. Corruption is fulfilled into violence.
The music possesses its prey, as dumb sheep are led to the slaughter, the unclean spirit returning with seven more evil than himself. "The last state of that man is worse than the first". When a man is tempted, he is drawn away by his lust and enticed. Lust, when it conceives, that is, when a man or women yields, it becomes sin. "And sin, when it is finished, brings forth death". The mind is seared "as with an hot iron", from hearing the commandments and the law of the testimony of Jesus Christ.

"Evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, 
deceiving and being deceived". 

How can one see if they cannot understand? Because they refuse correction and speak lies, their is no wisdom in them or knowledge of God. "Professing themselves to be wise, they have become fools". Swearing, lying, committing adultery and fornication, shedding innocent blood, changing the laws of God into perversions. Men lusting after boys and women after girls. They grope for the door of every one's house. As Sodom, they burn in their lusts until they are consumed as stubble before the fire. 

Yet, there remains a small remnant. 
A holy seed whose substance is the Word of God.

salvation is remission of sin

“Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; 

And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;”.   Hebrews‬ ‭5:8-9‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Jesus teaches that if any one desires to follow him, "let him deny himself, take up his cross and follow me". To make "no more provisions" to the carnal flesh "to fulfil the lusts thereof." Jesus commanded the woman accused of adultery to "Go and sin no more" after she was forgiven of her sins. The knowledge of real salvation is remission of sin. Many who profess to be Christians do not confess they are clean. That is, without sin. Believing that "he who says he has no sin is a liar". But how can this be the testimony of one who has confessed his sins and is "cleansed from all unrighteousness"? Because the word declares that Jesus "is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness", in another place, "He that is born of God does not commit sin". This is the true conversion of a sinner bound by the power of darkness, and translated into thr kingdom of God. "If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature. Behold all things are new!" If we believe God is righteous, then we must believe that everyone born of God is righteous even as God is righteous. "What God has cleansed, call thou not unclean"
The Blood shed for many for the remission of sin, is the New Testament Blood of the Lamb manifest on the cross. The prophet John the Baptist declared of Jesus, "Behold the Lamb of God which takes away the sins of the world!" "Upon as many as have received Him, to them gave He the power to become the sons of God" Jesus is the Baptizer of the Holy Spirit and with fire. He purges us as branches abiding in the Vine, that we may bear more fruit unto Him in holiness.

Can we trust the word of the King of glory who declares to the tares/goats, "Depart from me, YE workers of iniquity, I never knew you!" These are the many who will say, Lord, Lord! Open unto us! But the door is shut that no man can open.

Word Break: "the evidence of Salvation"

Help us O Lord to know the holy from the profane, the godly from the unclean.

Righteous Holy Father in heaven Creator and Mighty God, What is dust that thou art mindful of him? All we like sheep have gone astray, leaving our first love. The love of Truth. Jesus is Truth and the God of love. He came unto his own but his own received him not because he was despised and rejected. His light outshines the noon day sun seven-fold. His voice like many waters. The voice of the Almighty. His temple is filled with his glory. There is none other God beside Him. Hear your servants reproached in your name, the judgements of God to be performed by those whose obedience is fulfilled. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day the hidden manna that nourishes us in the wilderness. The floods of ungodly men have separated us from the assembly of the saints. Help us O Lord to know the holy from the profane, the godly from the unclean. For we are your workmanship in Christ Jesus. Separated to Himself, a peculiar people, redeemed from all iniquity, that we may be perfect even as You are perfect, Holy Father in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. I praise the name given among men whereby we can be saved. Jesus the Christ of God, maker of heaven and earth. The first and the last. The Almighty. Strengthen your servants, I pray, forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespassed against us. But those who profane and blaspheme Thy name, may they be covered with shame as a mantle. And those who love cursing, may they be cursed in their coming in and their going out. For three transgression and for four, the hand of The Lord is stretched out still, to do mighty works in judgement and furious rebukes. Against the ungodly and their fornications, murders and thefts, blasphemies and uncleanness. By worshipping devils and departing from the word of God, speaking vanity and lies in hypocrisy. O Lord, I pray the high towers that profess they know you, but they have been found to be hypocritical mockers, greedy dogs that cannot have enough, eating swine flesh and wallowing in pollutions of idols, transgressing after the GAINSAYING of Korah. May the ground swallow them up along with those who partake of their sins and thus shall receive of their plagues. Where the worm dieth not and the fire of perpetual burning is not quenched. Sharp arrows from the Almighty and coals of juniper upon the heads. Binding their kings with chains and their princes with fetters of iron. Perform your judgement and remember your people who are called by your name and have departed from iniquity, and are not ignorant of Satan's devices. Holding forth the word of life. Keeping ourselves unspotted from the world, whose robes have been made white by the Blood of the Lamb. Amen.

EKKLESIA 157

let THE REDEEMED OF THE LORD SAY SO!

JESUS SAID, "He whom the Son SETS FREE is free indeed."
A sinner saved by grace is forgiven all his sins AND is cleansed from all iniquity.
No sin remains. No, not one. The Blood has been shed for remission of sins.
This is the NEW TESTAMENT BLOOD shed for many 

FOR THE FORGIVENESS AND REMISSION OF SIN. 

WHAT GOD HAS CLEANSED CALL THOU NOT UNCLEAN, UNHOLY 

OR FLAWED IMPERFECTION.

Despise not the grace of God that has appeared to every man, 

bringing so great a salvation that demons tremble and the heathen rage. 

But let THE REDEEMED OF THE LORD SAY SO.
That the Anointing teaches all things of God to those who love Him and keep His commandments.
Does not the Holy Spirit of Christ dwell in those who are become new creatures, 

made kings and priests unto the glory of God, washed in the Blood of the Lamb? 

In this abundant grace wherein we stand, how can we turn away to the BEGGERLY elements 

of carnal minded wretchedness.
Who can deliver me from the body of this death? JESUS CHRIST THE RIGHTEOUS! 

Now, and in the world to come. 

"Behold, what manner of love hath the Father bestowed upon us 

that we should be called the sons of God!"

departing from the faith of Christ

First, there is no assembly organized without leaven. 
(run to and fro in the streets of Jerusalem (church) and see if you can find one who is righteous, who holds to the One, and despises the other)for all seek their own and self glory. Through deceit they refuse to know God. Shall one gather at the river of life with such a nation as this? Who mock the righteousness of Christ dwelling in earthen vessels? Reproaching those who are sober and holy by the blood of the Lamb, created in Christ Jesus as kings and priests unto the glory of the Father? This is the Redeemed of the LORD, Born again by the Spirit, Water and Blood, having their minds purged from an evil conscience. Yet the contradiction of sinners "stiff-necked and uncircumcised in the heart, they do always resist the Holy Ghost". Covenant-breakers, wells without water, "these are they who are sensual, having not the Spirit... who mind earthly things." As dogs return to their vomit and as sows to their wallowing in the mire.  Saying alas we are all come short of the glory of God, and whoever says they are clean from sin are called liars by the accusers of the brethren who have no remission of sin because they never were saved. It is the misery of iniquity to be joined to a devil and partake with the unclean. "Come out of her my people, lest YE be a PARTAKERS of her sins and receive of her plagues". Well, that's where we are now. A desolate land full of scorpions among briers. Vain People with Flattering lips and a double tongue you will find instead. Teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. Saying, "come not near unto us for we are holier than thou", standing on platforms behind veils of pretense. The youth faint more and more, yet they despise the counsel of the elders and ways of holiness. Another generation of vipers: "who warned you of the wrath to come?"The doctrine of separation from sinners is despised and rejected by the carnal minded, children of disobedience who cannot cease from sin, spotted by the flesh. 

These are the days of apostasy.
The departing from the faith of Christ. 

EKKLESIA 155

The creature is not ignorant of his Creator, These debates are a vain show of the flesh, gendering nothing but strife. Beware of the leaven of hypocrisy, "teaching for doctrine the commandments of God, making the word of God of none effect".Seekers of self glory and the praise of men, "comparing themselves among themselves", are not wise. 

"Come not near to me, for I am holier-than-thou".

CONCUPISCENCE: the law of sin

CONCUPISCENCE, n. L., to covet or lust after, to desire or covet. Lust; unlawful or irregular desire of sexual pleasure. In a more general sense, the coveting of carnal things, or an irregular appetite for worldly good; inclination for unlawful enjoyments.

We know even secret concupiscence to be sin.

“But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.”

‭‭(Romans‬ ‭7:8‬ ‭KJV‬‬)

Everyone in Christ Jesus should know how to keep their earthen vessels unto honor and sanctification. Offering their bodies as living sacrifices, acceptable and pleasing unto God. As new creatures in Christ, old sins have passed away and behold, "all things have become new". New nature. Right spirit. Let those who despise be filthy still. For outside of Christ are dogs, sorcerers, whoremongers, fornicators, adulterers, unbelievers, and those who love to make lies. Holding the truth in unrighteousness, speaking lies in hypocrisy. Some departing from the faith, "even denying the Lord that bought them". Come out from among the ungodly counsel of vain theologians who have swerved from the faith once delivered to the saints. And weak souls are hindered from entering into the kingdom of God because of false teachers "crept in unawares".

Prepare to meet your God. Maker of heaven and earth.

Turn away from BEHOLDING abominations. Touch not the unclean thing. 

Do the first works: Repent, for the kingdom of God is at hand! 

EKKLESIA154

"O my people, they which lead thee cause you to err"

Today's church government is on the shoulders of the hireling-pastor who rules over the flock because he loves to have the preeminence. Prophesyings are despised and tongues forbidden as the Spirit gives the utterance, because the pastor rules, and the people without understanding, love to have it so. Teaching for doctrines the commandments of men,  the word of God is made of none effect. "O my people, they which lead thee cause you to err" It is strong delusion. The stumbling block of iniquity.
