"ALMOST PERSUADED"


ALMOST PERSUADED TO BE AN HYPOCRITE
BY PUFFED UP WORDS AND VAIN THEOLOGY OF DECEIT,
DOCTRINES OF DEVILS AND CUNNING FORMS OF RELIGIOUS PRETENSE.
Until the Light of the glorious gospel, in the face of Jesus Christ, shined upon me by the "washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit". The Good Shepherd brought me out of the miry clay of self righteousness, into His kingdom of Light, raising me up and out of the whited SEPULCHER
where I dwelled among the dead in trespasses and in sin.

“For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.”
‭‭(Titus‬ ‭3:3-7‬ ‭KJV‬‬)


“I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord. Blessed is that man that maketh the Lord his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. Many, O Lord my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.”
‭‭(Psalms‬ ‭40:1-5‬ ‭KJV‬‬)

“Give ear to my words, O Lord, consider my meditation. Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray. My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up. For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee. The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity. Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the Lord will abhor the bloody and deceitful man. But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple. Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face. For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue. Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee. But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee. For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.”
‭‭(Psalms‬ ‭5:1-12‬ ‭KJV‬‬)

“Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭1:1-6‬ ‭KJV‬‬

CLEANSED FROM ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS

SIN CANNOT REMAIN IF ONE IS CLEANSED
FROM ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST.
‭‭“I heard a voice from heaven saying, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.”
‭‭(Acts‬ ‭11:9‬ ‭KJV‬‬)

“And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying,
Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I WILL; BE THOU CLEAN.
And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.”
(‭‭Matthew‬ ‭8:2-3‬ ‭KJV‬‬)

IF WE CONFESS WE HAVE NO SIN BECAUSE OF GODLY SORROW UNTO REPENTANCE AND THE WASHING OF REGENERATION AND RENEWING BY THE HOLY SPIRIT OF LIFE
IN CHRIST JESUS, THEN LET THE REDEEMED OF THE LORD SAY SO!
No more wretched sinner.
I THANK GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST!

“Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.”
‭‭(Matthew‬ ‭5:8‬ ‭KJV‬‬)

“Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith,
having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience,
 and our bodies washed with pure water.”
‭‭(Hebrews‬ ‭10:22‬ ‭KJV‬‬)

“Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit
unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:
Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God,
which liveth and abideth for ever.
For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass.
The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:
But the word of the Lord endureth for ever.
And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.”
(‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭1:22-25‬ ‭KJV‬‬)

"REMEMBER LOT'S WIFE"

E K K L E S I A
message 38

“But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven,
and destroyed them all.”  (Luke‬ ‭17:29‬ ‭KJV‬‬)

DELIVERED BY THE GRACE THAT BRINGS SALVATION, has apeared to all men, TEACHING THOSE WHO HAVE EARS TO HEAR, TO DENY UNGODLINESS AND WORLDLY LUSTS. TO BE LIVE SOBER AND RIGHTEOUS IN THIS PRESENT WORLD."
NOT BY THE WILL OF FLESH BUT BY THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD AND THE WASHING
OF THE NEW TESTAMENT BLOOD OF REGENERATION INTO A NEW CREATION. REBORN INTO THE ABUNDANT GRACE OF GOD THAT BRINGS FULL SALVATION
TO AS MANY AS HAVE RECEIVED CHRIST BY THE WILL OF THE FATHER OF LIGHTS,
to whom is no variableness of light, nor shadow of turning.

JESUS CHRIST: THE SAME YESTERDAY, TODAY AND FOREVER.

HIS HAND IS NOT SHORTENED THAT HE CANNOT SAVE, NEITHER IS HIS EARS HEAVY THAT HE CANNOT HEAR. BUT YOUR INIQUITIES HAVE CAUSED THE LATTER AND
THE FORMER RAINS TO CEASE. AND THE BLESSING ONCE RECEIVED HAS TURNED INTO A CURSE. WORMWOOD. Many cry there bitterly, finding no place for repentance.
TRIBULATION AND ANGUISH UPON EVERY SOUL THAT SINS.
TO THE JEW FIRST, AND ALSO TO THE GENTLE.
THERE IS NO REST TO THOSE WHO DO WICKEDNESS, AND TAKE PLEASURE
IN THOSE THAT WORK INIQUITY WITH BOTH HANDS EARNESTLY.
Even there minds are filled with evil thoughts continuously.
"I SAW UNCLEAN SPIRITS LIKE FROGS COMING OUT OF THEIR MOUTHS",
the apostle John wrote, speaking of the DRAGON, the BEAST,
and the FALSE PROPHET, the Wicked revealed to God's servant.

THE SAME DAY THAT LOT WAS BROUGHT OUT OF SODOM, GOD RAINED FIRE AND BRIMSTONE UPON THE CITY AND DESTROYED THEM ALL THAT REFUSED TO REPENT OF THEIR UNGODLY DEEDS WHICH THEY HAD WICKEDLY COMMITTED IN THE FACE OF A MERCIFUL GOD WHO DELIGHTS NOT IN THE DEATH OF THE WICKED, RIGHTEOUS LOT WHO WAS VEXED DAY AND NIGHT BY THEIR FILTHY CONVERSATIONS, neverthelessWARNING THEM, "MY BROTHERS! DO NOT SO WICKEDLY!" BUT THEY COVERED THEIR EARS AND WEARIED THEMSELVES TO COMMIT ABOMINATIONS, AND MOCKED HIM TO SCORN,
AS THOUGH HE SPOKE FOLLY OF A HOLY GOD WHO IS A CONSUMING FIRE.
AND LOT'S WIFE LOOKING BACK IN DISOBEDIENCE, BECAME A PILLAR OF SALT, for a sign and example. THE LORD KNOWS HOW TO DELIVER THE RIGHTEOUS FROM THE WORKERS OF INIQUITY WHO HAVE NO FEAR OF GOD TO HEED HIS COMMANDMENTS AND FOLLOW HIS WAY TO ETERNAL LIFE WITH JOY UNSPEAKABLE, FULL OF GLORY. THE LORD IS ABLE TO KEEP HIS CHILDREN FROM FALLING AND TO PRESENT THEM FAULTLESS AT HIS COMING. ABIDING IN CHRIST AND CONTINUING IN HIS WORD, MEDITATING DAY AND NIGHT IN THE LAW OF THE LORD, PRAYING WITHOUT CEASING, WORKING OUT THEIR PERSONAL SALVATION WITH FEAR AND TREMBLING, FULFILLING THEIR OBEDIENCE IN THE FAITH OF GOD WHOSE NAME IS, THE WORD OF GOD.

"Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them,
Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together."

EKKLESIA: SPIRITUAL WARFARE SEPARATES THE WHEAT FROM THE TARES

(message 16)

NO RAILING ACCUSATION NEEDED

Simply, "The LORD rebuke you!"
works the works of God,
if you are a True Believer.

No more,
to be taken captive by Satan
at his will.

But fervently Studying and meditating
in the word of God. Day and night.
Returning to "Your first love"

Denying all ungodliness.and
Living sober and holy
in the eyes of God.

Never mind the hypocritical mockers
who accuse you falsely: they have their reward:

They are again entangled in the bondage and corruption that is in the world through lust. 

"Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools."

But grow in grace and in the knowledge of Jesus Christ through the inspired word of God

 and revelation by the Spirit of Truth.
