Freedom
Hello and thank you for being here, I pray the Lord bless each one of you that are here to seek out His Word. Special welcome to the new members, thank you and stay with us.
I want to start today with the condition of man and what the Bible has to say about it. I am not politically correct so when I say man it means women too.
If you have not found Christ and been saved then this message is for you, for those of you that are saved and really know the truth, this could be an important message to witness with. I hope you have your Bibles out (KJV) and follow along as we study today.
If you are not saved or don't know if you are there are some things I would like to show you today.
Don't ever let someone talk you into believing that this Bible (KJV) was just written by mere men to constrain the public and keep them in line, nor let them tell you that it was written to keep women under subjection. I have news for you; I have heard these words so many times I couldn't start to count them.
When you get saved, you get saved by faith. Faith that comes from reading or hearing the Word of God. 1 Cor. 1:21 ("for it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe".)
Now, if men wrote this book without inspiration of the Holy Spirit, then he would NEVER say the things that are said of him in this Bible (KJV). When you read the Word of God and understand it, you will see how rotten you really are, I mean we're all no good.
Ecc. 7:20 "For there is not a just man upon earth that doest good and sinneth not".
That means all of us.
So what to do? Get saved.
The sum of salvation can be found here. Romans 4:3 For what sayeth the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness.
4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
5. but to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteouness.
6. Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
7. Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
Romans 5:6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
That should be the greatest news you've ever encountered, in your entire life.
This means Christ died for Hitler, Mussolini, Napoleon, Idi Amin, Bashar Assad, Yasser Aarafat, UBL, fill in your own name. Christ died for the ungodly, how much worse can man be than ungodly? Most people don't even know they are ungodly. They say, well, I believe in "a" god. Many roads and they all lead to God. How can God punish me, I don't deserve to go to hell. I didn't have anything to do with where I was born, who my parents were, what church they made me go to and I don't bother my neighbor, or drink, smoke, dance, gamble.
Then I have good news for you, I had a man last week say I wish I could be like some of the "great" Christians, I said you can. Then told him how. I guess he associated being saved, to being an upstanding member in the community, a great admired person, a person everybody respects. He thought he was so low he couldn't be saved. That's the farthest thing there can be from the truth in light of the scriptures quoted above.
People, as a rule think, to be a good Christian you have to clean up your act, wear nice clothes, have status in some monolith of a church, business men's association, president, CEO, COO, etc. Nice family, nice home, don't drink or do drugs, smoke etc. But if you have not been saved none of that nor good works no matter how many they are or how much it costs you will not get you into the Body of Christ.
I have news for you, none of that will get you saved, I am telling you flat out there are people in churches today that died this morning and are screaming in hell this minute.
In Proverbs, there is a statement "There is a way that seemeth right unto man but the end thereof are the ways of death". That's the condition this world is in today. Religion is sending more people to hell than anything I can think of today.
Moving on, If you are going to a church that has statues in it, or has a priest, get out of there and now. If you go to a church that doesn't rightly divide the Word of truth, chances are you are in some way or another being taught the Gospel of the Kingdom, the Lord trained 12 men to do, you need to leave there, you cannot be saved by that doctrine today, that was for the Jews, and it will be carried out just like the Bible says in the future.
If you are giving money to any of these churches and if you are not saved and giving money to churches, I have some shocking news for you: Proverbs 21:4 A high look, and a proud heart, And the plowing of the wicked, is sin.
Proverbs 21:27 The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination: How much more, when he bringeth it with a wicked mind?
You see, if you are giving to churches that are not in the will of God, you are an abomination. If you are not saved, it doesn't matter how much you give, you are still an abomination. A stench in the nostrils of God.
Still think men wrote this book (KJV) of their own accord? If you do, you might have already been turned over to a reprobate (junk) mind. Get Saved!
Important to know is why sin is in the world, by Adam. By his disobedience, sin entered into the world and death by sin, so that death passed upon all men, for all have sinned.
By the Obedience of one man sin was taken away, by the death of the cross and resurrection, Christ paid for ALL our sins, I mean all of them, past present, future. It is a package deal. It is an inheritance and salvation. How can you turn that down?
Romans 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man entered into the world and death by sin; so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned.
For those of you that continue to go to the altar and do good works for your salvation, this scripture is for you. Gal.5:3 For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
Remember this:
Gal 5:4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
Repeat this until you understand it.
Ever known anyone that kept the law perfectly? 10 commandments, Book of Leviticus, Deuteronomy? Did you know if you fail in 1-ONE point you are guilty of the whole law? That includes murder. That makes you a candidate for hell. Hell is real it is mentioned 54 times in a King James Bible. You don't want to go there.
The only one to ever Keep the Law was Jesus Christ, can you top that? He is God manifest in the flesh. He was God and at the same time man, yet tempted in all ways as we are yet without sin.
2 Cor. 5:19 To wit, that God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
Titus 2:11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
That is all men without exception. He died for the sins of the world (men and women) how can you pass that up?
I ask you today, are you saved? If not, don't leave this site until the Lord finds you, if you feel uncomfortable or weak or lost, make it right now. The Lord may be speaking to you...YOU, I have seen it so many times and I do thank each person even you in Finland who are reading this at 4am this message is as real as it gets and it is your way to salvation.
I don't write these messages to upset you, I write them because I was once just like you. I was caught up in a church system and didn't know what I believed. A man with hard words and a stern look always on his face taught me and he never knew I was even listening. If that be your case tonight, take this as a warning, we are very close to the end and you need to be saved to escape the inevitable wrath that is going to fall on this earth.
Go to the join section of this and read what is written there, if you believe it, then according to the Word of God, you will be saved. You don't have to sweat it any longer. You don't even have to join if you wish not to. One day this period of grace will be over and then, you won't get another chance that I can see.
Love to you all no matter where you are today or night, I am praying for you.
Prayer request:
Sister UYI,(A dear friend of mine) Nigeria, I believe she was witnessing in the villages there and was shot in the chest,(by people who don't like Christians) she is in the hospital and doing better but critical, she runs an orphanage in Benin City and she cares for 14 children that are orphaned due to aids, violence, starvation, etc. Pray for her will you?
If you would like to donate to her or the orphanage, write me and I will give you her contact person for her while she recovers. I will not post her last name or her address on the web, she is in danger.
I will try to post another message soon,
Michael
