Spirit of Burning

Woe to the pastors who beat the people and flay their flesh to the bone. Your riches shall come to nothing and your houses shall be wasted. As you love mammon let it save you from the wrath that is to come quickly in the twinkling of an eye, as a murderous thief in the night. No mercy for thousands called by my name, says the Lord. Behold you despisers who tread on my blood and put Christ to an open shame - I will purge you with the spirit of burning and judge you by my servants the prophets.

E K K L E S I A - Apostolic 537

HAVE MERCY ON ME, O GOD!

Few are equipped with weapons mighty through God to survive the demonic storms that come after the baptism of the Holy Ghost with fire. 

THE EVIDENCE OF SALVATION IS REMISSION OF SIN

Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. Examine yourself whether you be in the saving faith of Jesus Christ. Are your sins forgiven? Then they are gone. Sinless in Christ.

The Good news of the gospel is forgiveness of sins and knowledge of salvation is remission of sins.

Now, in this present world, the Holy Ghost teaches every man in Christ to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts. To live sober and holy in this adulterous and perverse generation of vipers.

EKKLESIA - Apostolic 406

THE MARK OF INIQUITY

"the mark of iniquity upon their minds and in their hearts"

Why do American mayors of cities, governors of states, Sports god NFL, antiChrist Disney, mammon lord CocaCola, perverse adulterer Hollywood, rage against the Christ of God? All who are defiled: the sodomites, unbelievers, adulterers, fornicators, liars, thieves cannot enter into the kingdom of God. No whoremongers, no covetous man, no one who loves to make lies, can enter into the kingdom of God. Their rage is against the burning of the word and judgement upon their wicked hearts. Lovers of vile pleasures and affections, hardened because they hate the Light, Jesus Christ the Righteous. God shall laugh and put them all in derision. The fearful and unbelieving bow to the music of the Leviathan beast and receive the mark of iniquity upon their minds and in their hearts. They cannot cease from doing evil "with both hands earnestly." The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance of the Lord. Yea, and though the fig tree does not blossom, nor fruit be in the vine, I will rejoice in the God of my salvation.

EKKLESIA - Apostolic 392

"Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him..."

BE THOU CLEAN

Beware of Lo-here-is-Christ-deceivers. Because iniquity abounds, the love of many towards the Holy One has waxed cold. If the righteous sin and does not repent, he or she will die in their sins. But if any righteous confess their sin,
 "we have an Advocate, Jesus Christ the Righteous, Who forgives us our sins and cleanses us from all unrighteousness. "LORD, if thou wilt, thou can make me clean. I WILL. BE THOU CLEAN. GO AND SIN NO MORE. Likewise, let the wicked forsake his ways, and the unrighteous man his thoughts, and I will heal him, saith the Lord.

“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


EKKLESIA 170

Working out our own Salvation with Fear and Trembling

“By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭11:7‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Let us fear if we should somehow come up short of the kingdom of God.
Short of the glory of God.
The Grace of God that brings Salvation has appeared to every man. 
For it is appointed unto man once to die, and then the judgement. 
Every man's works shall be tried by fire.

We are the branches of God created in His likeness. 
Every branch is purged that it may bring forth much fruit. 
Jesus is the Light of the world. His name is called The Word of God.
This is the condemnation: that men love darkness rather than light,
because their deeds are evil and made manifest in the light. 
Secret sins are exposed.
The thoughts and intentions of hearts revealed. 
All have sinned. There is none righteous.
No one seeks after God. 
WE LIKE SHEEP HAVE ALL GONE ASTRAY. Walking after our own lusts,
 fulfilling the desires of our unclean hearts. 
For out of the heart every man is defiled. 
From within we are corrupted. 
THE GOOD THAT WE WOULD DO, WE CANNOT PERFORM. 
Because sin is at the door of our mouth. 
The tongue is an unruly member of our body, set on the fire of hell.
There is One mightier than I, said John Baptist, whose shoe latchet 
I am not worthy to unloose.
HE, THAT IS JESUS. SHALL BAPTIZE YOU WITH THE HOLY GHOST AND FIRE"

God is not willing that any one should perish. 
But that all should be taught of the Lord to love mercy and to do judgment. 
To know the difference between the holy and the profane.
To love the LORD with all our strength and our minds. 
To cast down imaginations opposing the way of Life. 
Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Spirit of Life. 
Teaching all men to deny ungodliness
and worldly lusts. To live soberly and righteously in Christ. 
BORN AGAIN BY THE WILL OF GOD.
SAVED BY THE WASHING OF REGENERATION 
AND  RENEWING BY THE HOLY GHOST.  
If we repent unto godly sorrow,
acknowledging our sins against the Holy One.
According to His tender mercies He saves us from our sins
and the powers of darkness , and translates us into the kingdom of His Dear Son.
We are passed from eternal death into life everlasting. 
HOLDING FAST THE WORD OF GOD WITHOUT OFFENCE
UNTIL THE APPEARING OF JESUS CHRIST WHO SHALL JUDGE
THE QUICKENED AND THE DEAD.

Not by our own righteousness,
But by the righteousness of God in Christ. 
By Faith we stand justified in the Grace of God shed abundantly on our hearts 
by the Holy Spirit with our minds purged from an evil conscience, 
washed in the Blood of the Lamb by the prints of the nails in His hands, 
Jesus is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness".  My LORD and my GOD!

O THOU AFFLICTED, TOSSED WITH TEMPEST AND NOT COMFORTED

“Help, Lord; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men. They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak. The Lord shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things: Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us? For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the Lord; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him. The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O Lord, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.”

‭‭(Psalms‬ ‭12:1-8‬ ‭KJV‬‬)

A blind man along the wayside cries out:

 "JESUS, thou son of David, HAVE MERCY ON ME!" 

"HELP LORD!", or we will perish! 

The world's storms come upon us. Tribulations and fears. 

O THOU AFFLICTED TOSSED WITH TEMPEST AND NOT COMFORTED:

“Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the Lord. Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes; For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited. Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more. For thy Maker is thine husband; the Lord of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called. For the Lord hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth, when thou wast refused, saith thy God. For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee. In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the Lord thy Redeemer. For this is as the waters of Noah unto me: for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee. For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee. O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will lay thy stones with fair colours, and lay thy foundations with sapphires. And I will make thy windows of agates, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy borders of pleasant stones. And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children. In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee. Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake. Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy. No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord.”

They have left their first love. The love of the Truth.

EKKLESIA

 “By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found,
because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony,
that he pleased God.”   ‭‭(Hebrews‬ ‭11:5‬ ‭KJV‬‬)

"Without faith it is impossible to please God."
"He that endures to the end shall be saved"

"The SPIRIT speaks expressly: that in the latter days,
some shall depart from the faith,
giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of Devils.
Speaking lies through hypocrisy, having their conscience seared as with an hot iron"

They are such sons and daughters of Belial that one cannot speak to them.
No longer can they endure sound doctrine, for they have left their first love.
The love of the Truth.

“And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying,
Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, To execute judgment upon all,
and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.
These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage.”
‭‭(Jude‬ ‭1:14-16‬ ‭KJV‬‬)

"The dead in Christ shall rise first. And we which remain, shall be caught up together with him...Evermore to be with the LORD".

"A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities." EKKLESIA 85

The harvest is past. Let those who take pleasure in sin wallow in the mire as they please. And others you may save, pulling them out of the fire, hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. "SCORNERS delight in scorning, and fools hate knowledge"of God, so he gives them over to a reprobate mind. Void of understanding and virtue. The leaders of nations with ungodly people, gather together to oppose the Christ of God and His elect saints. Out of the mouths of rage proceed blasphemies against the Holy One.
Sinning willfully. DECLARING THEIR SINS AS SODOM. 
They know not the hour nor the Day of the LORD.

“The great day of the Lord is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly,
even the voice of the day of the Lord: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly.

That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress,
a day of wasteness and desolation,
a day of darkness and gloominess,
a day of clouds and thick darkness,
A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities,
and against the high towers.
And I will bring distress upon men,
that they shall walk like blind men,
because they have sinned against the Lord:
and their blood shall be poured out as dust,
and their flesh as the dung.

Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the Lord's wrath;
but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy:
for he shall make even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land.”
‭‭(Zephaniah‬ ‭1:14-18‬ ‭KJV‬‬)

"Jesus Christ!" is the preferred profanity. 

MOCKERS. FOOLISH TALKING. JESTING. 
These are the children of Leviathan. King of the proud. 
Cunning and deceitful, they lie in wait to catch the poor,
and to destroy souls. 

SINNERS NEED A SAVIOR BUT FEW THERE BE WHO ARE SAVED
“As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth,
there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Their throat is an open sepulchre;
with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:
Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: Their feet are swift to shed blood:
And the way of peace have they not known: There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
‭‭(Romans‬ ‭3:10-15, 17-18‬ ‭KJV‬‬)

NO MAN WILL SEE THE KINGDOM OF GOD
UNLESS HE HAS BEEN BORN AGAIN BY THE WILL AND SPIRIT OF GOD.
God is not willing that any should perish, so His Spirit strives with people to repent
From their sins and turn to God. This is why the grace of God appeared through Jesus Christ,
THAT HAS MANY AS HAVE RECEIVED HIM, TO THEM GAVE HE THE POWER TO BECOME THE SONS OF GOD. Contrary to the sons of perdition who love darkness rather than light because their deeds are evil. They crucify to themselves afresh the Son of God and tread upon his blood. CRUCIFY HIM! AWAY WITH HIM! They prefer murderers and thieves to rule over them. But it is written, “And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him. These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage.”
‭‭(Jude‬ ‭1:14-16‬ ‭KJV‬‬)

“According to their deeds, accordingly he will repay, fury to his adversaries, recompence to his enemies; to the islands he will repay recompence. So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him. And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the Lord. As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the Lord; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the Lord, from henceforth and for ever.”
‭‭(Isaiah‬ ‭59:18-21‬ ‭KJV‬‬)

“Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. 
And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged 
with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell 
on the face of the whole earth. Watch ye therefore, and pray always, 
that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things 
that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.”
‭‭(Luke‬ ‭21:33-36‬ ‭KJV‬‬)

Someone is asking themselves...

What must I do to be saved?

From the corruption that is in the world through lust.

From the wages of sin and death.

From the snare and power of darkness.

From my deceitful lusts.

From strong delusion.

From the broadway to destruction.

From seducing spirits.

From evil men.

"MAKING VOID THE WORD OF GOD".

“Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres,
which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones,
and of all uncleanness.”    (Matthew‬ ‭23:27‬ ‭KJV‬‬)

If you walk into the whited sepulchers of vain deceit,
you will find a form of ungodliness
as a rock of offense. Praising the gods of silver and gold.
Hireling- pastors made rich by the spoil of the poor.
They are greedy dogs who cannot have enough.
Reprobate silver, whose god is there belly.

TRIBULATION AND ANGUISH OF SOUL UPON EVERY ONE THAT DOES EVIL
The marriage bed is defiled by whoremongers, adulterers and fornicators.
THEY REFUSE TO REPENT AND GIVE GOD GLORY.

"For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections:
for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman,
burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly,
and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.”
 (Romans‬ ‭1:26-27‬ ‭KJV‬‬)

“Help, Lord; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.
They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart
do they speak. The Lord shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:
Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?
For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the Lord;
 I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him.”
‭‭(Psalms‬ ‭12:1-5‬ ‭KJV‬‬)

“But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers
among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them,
and bring upon themselves swift destruction.”   (2 Peter‬ ‭2:1‬ ‭KJV‬‬)


The prince of the power of the air as raised up an army of DECEIVERS.
They prosper, "yea, they grow fat"
They declare and proclaim, "Our lips are our own. Who is lord over us?"

FROM THE LEAST OF THEM TO THE GREATEST,
THEY ARE GIVEN OVER TO COVETOUSNESS.
this is the abomination of desolation.

 “The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire,
and the prophets thereof divine for money: yet will they lean upon the Lord, and say,
Is not the Lord among us? none evil can come upon us.”
‭
CREPT IN UNAWARES, well spoken of, highly recommended.
THIEVES, MURDERERS,BETRAYERS OF THE INNOCENT BLOOD

FLEE TO THE WILDERNESS.
ENTER INTO YOUR CHAMBER AND SHUT YOUR DOOR.
THERE YOU SHALL BE NOURISHED BY THE SPIRIT
FOR A TIME OF REFRESSHING.
IN THE SECRET PLACE UNDER THE SHADOW OF THE ALMIGHTY.
  “Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee:
hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.”
‭‭(Isaiah‬ ‭26:20‬ ‭KJV‬‬)

“And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness,
 into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time,
from the face of the serpent.”    (Revelation‬ ‭12:14‬ ‭KJV‬‬)

"I COUNSEL THEE TO BUY OF ME GOLD TRIED IN THE FIRE
THAT THOU MAYEST BE RICH"

"These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.”
‭‭(Revelation‬ ‭3:14-22‬ ‭KJV‬‬)

“Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.”
‭‭(Psalms‬ ‭19:5‬ ‭KJV‬‬)

"I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:”

‭"MANY ARE GATHERED TOGETHER, BUT NOT BY ME", saith The LORD.

TEN THOUSANDS TEACHERS OF DOCTRINES THE COMMANDMENTS OF MEN:
MAKING VOID THE WORD OF GOD. Void. None effect. Dead.
They love the praise of men, and to be called "Pastor" "Father" "Rabbi" "Reverend"
The covet the chief seats on the platforms. They lust to envy after the image of jealousy.

“Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain,
and ran greedily after the error of Balaam
for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.”
‭‭(Jude‬ ‭1:11‬ ‭KJV‬‬)

Controlling-Lords, Rulers of darkness who despise the government of the Holy Spirit.
"Ravening wolves not sparing the flock" "making merchandise of the people,
who "love to have the preeminence among the people" "blind leaders of the blind",
"evil men and seducers waxing worse and worse" "whose hearts are exercised by covetous practices" "spots and blemishes who feast with you" "deceiving and being deceived" "lying children"
desolate houses of worship.

PERILOUS TIMES ARE NOW.

IT IS PERILOUS TO WORSHIP IN POLLUTED SANCTUARIES.

“And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people,
that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.”
‭‭(Revelation‬ ‭18:4‬ ‭KJV‬‬)

The abomination of desolation is found in the wall of the polluted sanctuary. 
"And he brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold a hole in the wall. 
Then said he unto me, Son of man, dig now in the wall: and when I had digged in the wall, 
behold a door. And he said unto me, Go in, and behold the wicked abominations that they do here." (‭Ezekiel‬ ‭8‬:‭7-9‬ KJV) 

We are witnesses of the falling away into perdition and departing from the faith.

It is no delusion that honest sinners know they are destined to hell

But What if a false gospel has been received,
by believing a lie that you are 'saved' with a heart that is " deceitful above all things?"
Your sin remains, and the lie has taken hold: "once saved, always saved".   Strong delusion.

The way of Truth is evil spoken because of hypocrites masquerading as Christians,
hold the truth in hypocrisy and are despised and rejected as though they were true disciples of Christ, born again by the will and Spirit of God. These mockers imitate by outward appearance thinly veiled,
the enlightened and regenerate new creature, but their sins remain as open sores of leprosy.
“From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.”
‭‭(Isaiah‬ ‭1:6‬ ‭KJV‬‬)

Many are gathered together, but not by me, saith the Lord

"Nigh unto cursing", Tares are gathered together to be burned.

Jesus warned of end time DECEIVERS.

“And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately,
saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming,
and of the end of the world? And Jesus answered and said unto them,
Take heed that no man deceive you.
For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
Behold, I have told you before. Wherefore if they shall say unto you,
Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers;
believe it not. For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west;
so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.”
‭‭(Matthew‬ ‭24:3-5, 11-13, 23-27‬ ‭KJV‬‬)

“Thus saith the Lord, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool:
where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?
For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the Lord:
but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit,
and trembleth at my word.”
‭‭(Isaiah‬ ‭66:1-2‬ ‭KJV‬‬)

E K K L E S I A. "I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the Lord."

“Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die:
for I have not found thy works perfect before God.
Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent.

If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief,
and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.

Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments;
and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.
He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment;
and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life,
 but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.”
‭‭(Revelation‬ ‭3:2-6‬ ‭KJV‬‬)

It is the calling of repentance that men are drawn by the Father to godly sorrow.
HAVE MERCY UPON ME, O GOD! is not a scripted prayer,
IT IS A CRY FROM THE BELLY OF HELL.

“Then Jonah prayed unto the Lord his God out of the fish's belly,
And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the Lord, and he heard me;
out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice.
For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods compassed me about:
 all thy billows and thy waves passed over me.
Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.
The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round about,
the weeds were wrapped about my head. I went down to the bottoms of the mountains;
the earth with her bars was about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption,
O Lord my God. When my soul fainted within me I remembered the Lord:
and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.
They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving;
 I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the Lord.
And the Lord spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.”
‭‭(Jonah‬ ‭2:1-10‬ ‭KJV‬‬)

THE GRACE OF GOD THAT BRINGS.SALVATION HAS APPEARED TO ALL MEN.
FOR ALL MEN HAVE SINNED. HE WHO SAYS HE HAS NO SIN IS A LIAR
AND THE TRUTH IS NOT IN HIM. ALL WE LIKE SHEEP HAVE GONE ASTRAY, ACCORDING TO OUR OWN DESIRES AND SINFUL INCLINATIONS.
UNTIL THE LIGHT OF THE GLORIOUS GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST SHINED ON HEARTS ALIENATED FROM GOD BY ONE MAN'S DISOBEDIENCE,
DEATH CAME UPON ALL FLESH.
THATS A FACT THAT CANNOT BE DENIED.
CEMETERIES ARE FULL OF THE DEAD. RICH, FAMOUS, POOR, UNKNOWN.
MAN IS LIKE THE FLOWER THAT FLOURISHES IN THE GRASS
THAT SOON WITHERS AND PASSES AWAY.

BUT GOD WHO IS RICH IN MERCY HAS NO PLEASURE IN THE DEATH OF THE WICKED
SINNERS WHO FORSAKE THE WORD OF GOD THAT BRINGS SALVATION AND ETERNAL LIFE. GOD KNOWS THAT WE ARE SINFUL FLESH AND IN NEED OF A SAVIOR. NO MAN SEEKS GOD BECAUSE GOD IS NOT IN HIS THOUGHTS. ONLY EVIL THOUGHTS AND FILTHY IMAGINATIONS DRIVE THE LUSTS OF THE WRETCHED SINNER, PROGRAMMED TO DESTRUCTION. BECAUSE THE LAWS OF GOD BRING THE SINNER INTO CONDEMNATION. THATS WHY THE VERY PRESENCE OF A BIBLE IN A PUBLIC PLACE IS ABORRANT TO THE HEATHEN THAT RAGE AGAINST THE CHRIST OF GOD.
