"Watch and Pray". 1.15.2017

Sinless in Christ

When do many professing Christians sin? As often as they are tempted, of course. Unless they already have sin that remains because they regard it as a familiar spirit. I have not heard them ever confess: I am clean. Holy. Righteous. These words abhorrent to them. They have no problem confessing they sin and that so does everybody else. They comfort one another in their afflictions caused by besetting sins. These are the sins they love and refuse to depart from. Many are living in fornication. Others indulge in adultery. But it is the sin of rebellion that slays unwary souls into depths of perdition. These are they who are sensual, earthly and devilish. Progressing into deeper darkness where there is no light. Only certain condemnation and a fearful looking for of judgement.

Blessed is the man that endures temptation for when he is purged he shall come forth as gold tried in the fire. Arm yourself with the same mind of Christ who when he was reviled, reviled not again. And though he were a Son yet learned he obedience by the things that he suffered. Obedience is better than sacrifice. Endure hardness as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. If the holy seed of God dwells in you as the incorruptible word of God by the renewing of the Holy Spirit, than you are holy even as your Father in heaven is holy. True believers confess they are clean and the Prince of the world has nothing in them. They have found the well of salvation that brings forth living waters of eternal peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

E K K L E S I A-Apostolic 252

"By our law, he is worthy of death!"

“And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding? Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught? But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭15:16-20‬ ‭KJV‬‬

The heart is deceitful and desperately wicked. Alas, all of mankind has sinned and continues to defile himself. Jesus Christ came to save sinners from defiling themselves. And sinners with their wicked hands, crucified their Messiah. "He came unto his own and they received him not". The Holy One, God in the flesh of man, tempted at all points, yet without sin. Jesus the Christ of God. False accusers, ungodly men, religious hypocrites: "By our law, he is worthy of death!" "Blasphemer!"  "Away with him!" "Crucify him" "Grant unto us a murderer and a thief!"

He is Leviathan, king of the children of pride.

“These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses, Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat. And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, enquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence. And when ye come into an house, salute it. And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you. And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭10:5-14‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Because iniquity abounds yet more and more in these perilous times, the word of God is hard to find in the dry places among mockers and scorpions. The priests teach for hire and the prophets divine for money. The judge asks for a reward and the rich man declares his desires. They catch men in their nets. With flattering lips and a double heart they speak words smooth as butter, but the sword is in their mouth. And they love to curse! So let them be covered with cursing as a mantle! The god of this world is the devil, the Prince of the power of the air. Evil communications corrupt morals. The lust of the eyes, the love of the things of the world, keep souls lost into perdition. Because that old serpent, the devil, transforms himself as an angel of enlightenment. Dark knowledge of evil. And power of mammon to acquire provisions for the lusts. It is by Satan's furious rage to destroy souls. He is Leviathan, king of the children of pride. The filthiness of unclean spirits sent out into all the world to teach iniquitous gospels through ministers of Satan transformed as godly, yet they speak lies through hypocrisy. 

Only the Elect who endure to the end will be saved. 
The ones called out from the world of sin. 

DRUNKEN IN THE FOLLY OF SIN

“And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.”
‭‭(Revelation‬ ‭16:12-14, 16‬ ‭KJV‬‬)

Few were saved from the flood of water. 8. Who will be saved from the fire? 50? The scriptures tell us that God does not destroy the righteous with the wicked. If 5 had been righteous in Sodom, the city would have been spared. But only Lot, his wife and 2 daughters were brought out to safety before heaven rained down brimstone and fire upon Sodom and Gomorrah, whose people were  "sinners exceedingly wicked". The progression of degeneration has increased seven-fold, the devil knowing he has such a short time before the end, has furious wrath upon the inhabitants of all the earth. With "all deceitfulness of unrighteousness",this cunning "old serpent, the devil", who beguiled Eve in the garden,  is gathering the rulers of darkness and spiritual wickedness, along with his children of pride and disobedience to the final confrontation, Armageddon.

“Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.”  (Revelation‬ ‭16:15‬ ‭KJV‬‬)

THERE ARE MANY LIARS AND DECEIVERS, SORCERERS SENT OUT INTO ALL THE WORLD TO TEACH AND SEDUCE BY UNCLEAN SPIRITS GREAT AND WONDROUS BLASPHEMIES AGAINST THE ONE WHO BEARS RECORD IN HEAVEN, THE FATHER, THE WORD, THE HOLY GHOST, WHICH IS THE SAME WHO BEARS WITNESS ON EARTH, THE WATER, THE BLOOD, AND THE SPIRIT. THE FULNESS OF THE GODHEAD DWELLING IN THE ONE PERSON, JESUS CHRIST. WHO CAME UNTO HIS OWN AND HIS OWN RECEIVED HIM NOT. THIS SAME JESUS WHOM YOU CRUCIFY , GOD HAS MADE BOTH LORD AND CHRIST. STUMBLE YOU DRUNKEN IN THE FOLLY OF SIN. THE OLD WINE IS A MOCKER YOU CANNOT CEASE FROM DRINKING, "TO CONSUME ON YOUR LUSTS".
"WORKING ABOMINATIONS WITH BOTH HANDS EARNESTLY" 

TO THE MULTITUDES SLAIN BY SEDUCING SPIRITS AND DOCTRINES OF DEVILS, HAVING DEPARTED FROM THE FAITH THAT WAS ONCE GIVEN TO THE SAINTS TO BIND KINGS WITH CHAINS AND PRINCES WITH FETTERS OF IRON, now the whole head has become sick and the body that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.

E K K L E S I A 176

Thou shalt not bear false witness.

God is not the author of confusion. Peace with God is salvation. PEACE, not as the world promises peace, but PEACE that overcomes the world and it's lusts through the flesh. "Truly our fellowship is with the Father and his Son Jesus Christ." If so be the Holy Spirit dwells in us. If not, we are of all men most miserable, professing conversion, but found to be false witnesses of the resurrection and Christ is not raised in us.

An odorous spirit of iniquity

The day is near and hastens quickly when no man or woman, boy or girl, bond or free, will be able to buy or sell unless they have the approval of the beast. A foul, odorous spirit of iniquity upon all flesh who worship the beast with reprobate minds.

“Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. 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. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭1:21-32‬ ‭KJV‬‬

What a word is this!

“Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it,
because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work 
of what sort it is.”     (1 Corinthians‬ ‭3:13‬ ‭KJV‬‬)

Work: for the day is coming when no man can work. Worship: for God is a Holy Spirit. Every knee shall bow. Holy, Holy, Holy! Which was, which is, and is to come: The Almighty. BREAK UP THE FALLOW GROUND AND SOW NOT AMONG THORNS. BE SEPARATE FROM SINNERS, SAITH THE LORD. BE HOLY, FOR I AM HOLY. QUENCH NOT THE HOLY SPIRIT, AND LOVE NOT THE WORLD, NEITHER THE THINGS THAT ARE IN THE WORLD. PLUCK OUT THE LUST OF THE EYES AND CUT OFF THE UNCLEAN FROM YOUR HANDS. CAST DOWN THE VAIN IMAGINATIONS AND CLEANSE YOUR MIND IN THE WORD OF GOD: YOU THAT ARE CALLED OF THE LORD AND NOT FORSAKEN. THE ADULTEROUS GENERATION KNOWS WHAT THEY DO, HAVING TURNED AWAY FROM BEHOLDING THE CHRIST RISEN FROM THE DEAD IN TRESPASSES AND SINS. THE RIGHTEOUS ONE, THE HOLY ONE, THE CHRIST OF GOD WHO KNEW NO SIN. ABIDE IN ME AND I WILL ABIDE IN YOU THAT YOU MAY BEAR MUCH FRUIT UNTO HOLINESS. BY WHICH NO MAN CAN SEE GOD OR KNOW HIM. FOR IN JESUS CHRIST IS NO SIN.

The evidence of Salvation: Remission of sins

Furious rebukes and fiery indignations

Presidents and governors, mayors and councilmen, Pastors and priests, judges and prophets: If the least to the greatest of them in the kingdoms of men are given over to covetousness, what shall be the end thereof? As in the days of Sodom, is not the fire and brimstone its destruction? While the wicked grope for an open door to release abominable filth into the household, so have the rulers of darkness bid the will of their master, that old serpent, the devil. As for the polluted sanctuaries: The godly man has ceased to do good and the once faithful have pined away in their iniquitous ways. "Where in have we sinned?" Eating swine's flesh and rejoicing to do evil with both hands earnestly. The air is made foul from PERVERSIONS of FLESH. Consciences seared from knowledge of God as with a hot iron. "Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools". The willful murder of innocent blood, the damnable abominations defiling the marriage covenant between man and woman. The FORNICATIONS and adulteries, the glory of shame, doing that which is even against nature. Vile affections set up and worshipped as gods. "Our lips are our own, who is lord over us?" Mockers, BLASPHEMERS, liars, murderers and thieves. "Away with the Christ!" "Crucify Him afresh!" Knowing that they that do these things and those who have pleasure in them that corrupt themselves as dogs returning to their vomit, are worthy of death. "Where the worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched" Seeing how they put Christ to an open shame, despising His commandments, changing his laws into perverseness. The Lord will descend with the shout of an angel, and suddenly appear in the wrath of the Lamb." To execute vengeance upon all the ungodly and their ungodly deeds". So lift up the hands that hang down, and straighten that which was made crooked. Repent. Watch and pray that you may be counted worthy to escape the furious rebukes and fiery indignations of the Lord.

Called to be saints. Not retreaded sinners.

"And you hath he quickened who were dead in trespasses and sins."
"Witnesses of the resurrection." Born again in "newness of life."
"Saved by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit".
It is written. "Let God be true and every man a liar". 

The called out. Called to be saints. Not retreaded sinners. But new creatures in Christ. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so. We are not of those who have drawn back into perdition. If so be the Spirit of God dwells in us, we should be taught by the Holy Spirit the deep things of God not revealed to the natural man. Because God is a Spirit, and they who worship Him, must worship God in Spirit and in Truth. Abiding in the Vine, bringing forth fruit unto holiness. 

the church age is over

Let me spare you the time wasting of seeking after wandering stars and church-hopping. Looking for the effectual spoken word of God.  But what is found is the abomination of desolation. "evil men and seducers waxing worse and worse", Saying, "Lo here is Christ!" Deceiving many. Behind pulpits. Standing on platforms above many gathered together (but not by the Lord) 
The age of the church is over and has been for decades. 

The harvest is past and we are not saved

Even the Devils believe and tremble. So what is it that you say you know God but walk in darkness? 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, fearful 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, thieves, fornicators, adulterers, unbelievers, and those who love to make lies.
It's best to acknowledge all sins before the King of Glory,  lest He break you in pieces. Whosoever glorifies JESUS CHRIST shall see the salvation of God. Have mercy upon me, O God! Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation. Take not Thy Holy Spirit away from me! All the saints are preserved in JESUS CHRIST, in Whom is no sin. He who loves much is forgiven much.

partakers of her sins and receiving her plagues

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 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.

"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

Where's the Body?

Hundreds of preachers
Thousands of teachers
Programs, planes and books
buildings and idols
bylaws and titles
Leaders, directors and crooks
robbing and stealing
the people from healing
While promising sweet liberty.

Smooth talking scribes
who love to take bribes
speaking out of darkness of heart
these are wells without water
Leading lambs to the slaughter
In the name of Jesus, depart!

We've been battered and scattered
left bleeding and tattered
won't some one please rescue and save?

O where is the body
of Christ-like authority
whose members are knit by His love?

with anointing and unction
causes hell to malfunction
sitting together with Jesus above
whose builder and maker
is the Almighty Shaker
who removes things that cannot remain.

"a secret place"

There is a place not known to flesh

A refuge. peaceful, solace, rest.

for desperate tears and sorrow-bound

Release the prisoner lost, now found.

A word is spoken

Well known as written

Brings light to darkness

All sins forgiven!

God's Angels rejoicing

New creature singing

High praises ringing

Born Again!
