Mark 10:17 And when he was gone forth into the way, there came
one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master,
what shall I do that I might inherit eternal life? 18 And Jesus
said unto him, Why callest thou me good? There is none good
but one, that is, God. 19 Thou knowest the commandments, Do
not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear
false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother. 20
And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I
observed from my youth. 21 Then Jesus beholding him, loved him,
and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell
whatsoever thou hast, and give it to the poor, and thou shalt
have treasure in heaven: and come and take up the cross, and
follow me. 22 And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved:
for he had great possessions. I know there will be those of
you that say this man was worshipping money or money was his
problem and that is true, however there is far more to these
verses, watch closely. Acts 2:44 And all that believed were
together, and had all things common; 45 And sold their possessions
and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.
46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple,
and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with
gladness and singleness of heart, 47 Praising God, and having
favour with all people. And the Lord added to the church daily
such as should be saved. Folks that’s what the apostles
were told to do, sell out, follow the Lord and endure to the
end, if you didn’t, you went to hell. Thank God that was
then and this is now. We don’t have to do any of that
for our salvation today. It is by grace through faith and not
of works.
Luke 16:19 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed
in purple and fine linen and fared sumptuously every day: 20
And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid
at his gate, full of sores, 21 And desiring to be fed with the
crumbs that fell from the rich mans table: moreover, the dogs
came and licked his sores. 22 And it came to pass that the beggar
died, and was carried into Abraham’s bosom: the rich man
also died, and was buried; 23 And in hell he lift up his eyes,
being in torment, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in
his bosom. 24 And he cried and saith, Father Abraham, have mercy
on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger
in water, and cool my tongue, for I am tormented in this flame.
Folks that real pain, it’s real fire and there is a real
hell and it has flame. Why do I think this is the same man?
3 Reasons. He is rich, he was Jewish… and he ended up
in hell. He recognized Father Abraham. If he recognized Father
Abraham then he must have been Jewish, he called him father.
He obviously knew the commandments. He must have also seen other
people on the other side of the fixed gulf. But he called out
to Abraham. I believe he is referred to three times overall
as a “certain” man.
Another point, Acts 4:32 And the multitude of them that believed
were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them
that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but
they had all things common. Verse 34 Neither was there any among
them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of land or
houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that
were sold, 35 And laid them down at the apostles feet: and distribution
was made unto every man according as he had need. This is what
they had to do, do you have any land or possessions that you
haven’t sold and distributed evenly to all men that have
need? Why didn’t you sell it? Did your preacher not read
you these verses? While he was trying to indoctrinate you with
the message of the 12 being for the church today? Or do you
have a preacher that tells you to sell everything you have and
bring it to him? It’s a question you need to think about.
Another point, Acts 5:1 But a certain man named Ananias, with
Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, 2 and kept back part of
the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain
part, and laid it at the apostle’s feet. 3 But Peter said,
Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy
Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land? 4 Whiles
it remained, was it not thine own? And after it was sold, was
it not in thine own power? Why hast thou conceived this thing
in thine heart? Thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God. 5
And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost:
Verse 7 And it was about the space of three hours after, when
his wife, not knowing what was done, came in. 8 And Peter answered
unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And
she said, Yea, for so much. 9 Then Peter said unto her, How
is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the
Lord? Behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband
are at the door, and shall carry thee out. 10 Then she fell
down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and
the young men came in, and found her dead, and carrying her
forth, buried her by her husband.
Can you not see this? This is serious business, folks. If you
owned anything of value you had to sell it. Will you do it today
and send it all to me? No, of course you won’t. Why not?
It’s ok to believe that the mission of the 12 is for the
church today, if you are Baptist, Methodist, church of Christ,
Lutheran, Pentecostal, Mormon, etc… Why don’t the
preachers from those churches sell everything they have if they
REALLY believe what they are teaching you? No folks, there’s
something wrong out there today; people take the Word of God
and twist it around any way they want to for their own personal
reasons. The mission of the 12 is NOT for the Church today.
We live in a time of Grace, unmerited favour given to us by
the death of Jesus Christ on Calvary, with the message being
sent through the Apostle Paul. The only requirement for you
to be saved today, in this dispensation of Grace, is to believe
that Jesus died for your sins, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ,
and thou shalt BE SAVED.
The Apostle Paul summed all this up in a few short verses.
1 Timothy 1:3 As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus,
when I went to Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that
they teach no other doctrine. 4 Neither give ye heed to fables
and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than
godly edifying which is in faith: so do.
2 Corinthians 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with
unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness?
And what communion hath light with darkness?
Romans 16:17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause
divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which you have
learned; and avoid them. 18 For they that are such serve not
our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words
and simple speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.
If you are a member of one of these churches that teaches anything
other than that for your salvation, they are lying to you, directly
or indirectly. Form a committee and have a talk with them, or
run them off. They are feeding you poison, to you and your loved
ones. You will be far better off coming here than attending
that church. You see, I don’t want your money and I don’t
have an agenda, and I don’t have a Leer jet. I only want
you to see the truth. It is free. Don’t let someone try
to charge you for it. Jesus Christ Died for your sins, they
are ALL paid for, claim it and be free today!
Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem and the leadership of our Country,
Shalom,
Michael
