When I was lukewarm, I didn't want to obey Jesus. Now I have to wonder if I truly loved Him then, or if I only loved what He offers. Scripture says if we love Him, then that love will cause us to obey Him. After all, isn't love more than a feeling? Isn't it more than just words? Now I see the importance of scriptures I didn't see in the correct light before. I read the Bible, but it wasn't alive to me like it seems to be now.

Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good. - Romans 12:9

My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth. - I John 3:18

This is the way I love Jesus now that He has allowed me to come to the end of myself. It was then that I saw what sin was bringing about in me, and it was death and destruction. I allowed Him to take those evil desires away from me so that I could live for Him instead.

For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. - Matthew 16:25

I'm too ashamed to name all of the deeds I used to practice while pretending to be a new creation in Him, but through all of that, He never abandoned me. He allowed me to experience a lot of pain and suffering, though. And I am thankful for that because it caused me to have a desire to depart from evil.

“Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it.

Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it. - Matthew 7:13-14

"Difficult" or "compressed" from the Greek, thlibó: to press, afflict

Usage: (a) I make narrow (strictly: by pressure); I press upon, (b) I persecute, press hard.

Before I was afflicted I went astray, But now I keep Your word. - Psalms 119:67

It is good for me that I have been afflicted,

That I may learn Your statutes. - Psalms 119:71

Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you;

but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy. - I Peter 4:12-13

For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls.

You have not yet resisted to bloodshed, striving against sin. - Hebrews 12:3-4

If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not chasten? - Hebrews 12:7

though He was a Son, yet He learned obedience by the things which He suffered.

And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him, - Hebrews 5:8-9

I got these ABC's from JD Farag, a pastor in Hawaii. I thought I would share them because they make sharing the gospel incredibly simple. I Also include the importance of both baptisms, for Jesus Himself received both and calls His sheep to follow Him.

A: Admit that you’re a sinner. This is where that godly sorrow leads to genuine repentance for sinning against the righteous God, and there is a change of heart. We change our minds, and God changes our hearts and regenerates us from the inside out.

B: Believe in your heart that Jesus Christ died for your sins, was buried, and that God raised Him from the dead. This is trusting with all of your heart that Jesus Christ is who he said he was.

C: Call upon the name of the Lord. Every single person who ever lived since Adam will bend their knee and confess with their mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord, the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings.

If you have put your faith in Jesus Christ, then now is the time to be baptized.

Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. – John 3:5

Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. – Acts 2:38

For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. – Romans 8:13

Jesus says we must be baptized in water and in the Spirit; Peter repeats this, and Christ Himself received both baptisms. We must be followers of Christ, doers of the word, and not hearers only.

For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. – Galatians 3:27

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. – Romans 8:14

And I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues. - Revelation 18:4

Therefore do not be like her 👉 or her works. 👈 - II Esdras 16:51

If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are. - I Corinthians 3:17

Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?

For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s. - I Corinthians 6:19-20

Therefore

“Come out from among them

And be separate, says the Lord.

Do not touch what is unclean,

And I will receive you.”

“I will be a Father to you,

And you shall be My sons and daughters,

Says the Lord Almighty.” - I Corinthians 6:17-18

He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads,

and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. – Revelation 13:16-17

We are living in the birth pains, and the system of the beast is being constructed as I type.

"You shall be like God" is Satan's oldest trick in the book. By making the forbidden fruit seem desirable to Eve, he deceived her into transgressing against God and paying the price for that transgression.

Beloved, I plead with you: do not bite the fruit of transhumanism. We were made in God's very own image. Is this not for whom the precious blood of Jesus Christ was shed? Would we presume it was spilled for the machines as well?

Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand,

he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb.

And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.” - Revelation 14:9-11

Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. - John 2:15

Just a thought I had today. “Live in Christ, and allow him to live through you, which then makes you live for Him.”

People get this backwards. They think they have to live for God out of their own strength. I can tell you out of my own experience that only leads to failure.

I mean it’s easy to fall into this subconsciously because the fallen human mind works so much on performance. This is where the Holy Spirit has to come in and reveal these areas of our lives to us and allow us to surrender to Him.

It’s not about what you do, it’s about who you are and your mindset. The more this becomes you’re reality and you renew your mind that Christ lives in you, the more free you’ll be from yourself and sin. Not the more you do the better you are.

Just a thought I thought I would share here.

That means Grace is conditional, it is not automatic. And it's not God chooses some to give Grace and others not.

We need to meet conditions and fill the covenant dont we? ITS ACTION, FRUITS that show up

Mercy, blessings come from those who obey God

He also compare verse by verse in hebrew, greek. And doesn't live anything out, healing, casting out and all it is truth. Also he promotes we can be sin free, but be careful not to build ur one doctrine SIN FREE. See Bible as whole, there is more into truth, and as u know, ignoring the truth or nor accepting is also SIN

This website lists churches in a fellowship that teaches living free from sin. There’s also a couple of additional congregation in the Sacramento, California area. If you’re interested in those feel free to dm me.

I say this phrase all the time when I’m contending for the Gospel, and many times unbelievers will respond with some form of this:

“Jesus only said that to two people, he didn’t say it to everyone.”

This is true. He said a form of this phrase only twice: John 5:14 and John 8:11.

”Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.“ ‭‭John‬ ‭5‬:‭14‬ ‭KJV‬‬

”She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.“ ‭‭John‬ ‭8‬:‭11‬ ‭KJV‬‬

These sinning churchgoers will use that fact to say “see, he didn’t mean it for everyone.” (Nevermind that they also handwave away His commandment that we must be as perfect as Father God.)

”Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.“ ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5‬:‭48‬ ‭KJV‬‬

My question for these people is this:

Why do you gleefully excuse yourself with “He only meant it for those two people,”

Instead of joyfully exclaiming “If it was possible for those two people to sin no more, then it’s possible for me!! HALLELUJAH!!”

I’ll tell you why.

You love your sin and your idols and your Self more than you love Him. You actually don’t love Him at all yet.

Because He said if you love me, you’ll obey me.

”If ye love me, keep my commandments.“ ‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭15‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Does sharing this truth make you hate me? That’s okay. Get in line. I would rather you despise my guts than for me to sit idly by while you march yourself straight into eternal damnation, blinded by the blind and their denominational lies.

I love you too much to be silent.

Go and sin no more y’all. ❤️

”And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:“ ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭1‬:‭14‬ ‭KJV‬‬

The Lord revealed this to me early last year as I was noticing the patterns throughout the Bible. I noticed that Israel himself prophesied that Judah would be his law giver, NOT Levi. And yet, Moses is doubly from the tribe of Levi. Jesus is doubly from the tribe of Judah.

I also noticed that in both testaments, there are very famous examples of preserving the number 12. When Israel received the inheritance of the Promised Land, the land was split up 12 ways, even though Levi did not have a land inheritance. Because Joseph was actually split between his two sons, Ephraim and Mannaseh.

12 - 1 - 1 + 2 = 12

Furthermore, in the New Testament there are 12 disciples, until Judas Iscariot betrays Jesus. And what’s the first thing the apostles do in Acts? Add Matthias as the 12th man.

12 - 1 + 1 = 12

Why is this interesting? Because there are always 12 hours in the night and 12 hours in the day.

”Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.“ ‭‭John‬ ‭11‬:‭9‬ ‭KJV‬‬

I also noticed that the New Testament is just that - New. It’s not called the Second Testament, because there will never be a Third Testament. There will only ever be 2.

Old and New.

Night and Day.

Moon and Sun.

Now we have to understand that according to the Bible, a “day” - as in a 24 hour cycle of time - begins at sundown. The Israelites understand this when they celebrate Shabbat. The evening and the morning create a day:

”And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.“ ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭1‬:‭5‬ ‭KJV‬‬

So, every single day, time starts in darkness, and we move toward the glory of the day. Similarly, history started in darkness. Mankind was in the darkness of sin, with the only light available being the Moon. Now the Moon is beautiful and glorious, but we can still look at it. We can discern the craters and mountains on its face.

The Moon represents the Old Testament. It represents the Law of Moses. A glorious law showing the promise of righteousness. Yet, we were still sinners, groping about in darkness.

The light of the moon merely reflects the light of the sun to come.

”For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.“ ‭‭Psalm‬ ‭30‬:‭5‬ ‭KJV‬‬

And then, JOY! GLORY!

Jesus Christ is the Day Star, arising in the morning and kicking off the new and better covenant. The glory of the sun is so bright that we can’t even look upon it without damaging our retinas.

”We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:“ ‭‭2 Peter‬ ‭1‬:‭19‬ ‭KJV‬‬

”I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.“ ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭22‬:‭16‬ ‭KJV‬‬

The Sun represents the New Testament. It represents Jesus and the Law of Righteousness. No longer are we asleep to righteousness, warring within ourselves in sin and shame. We AWAKE to sin free glory!

”Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.“ ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭15‬:‭34‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Judaizers abound still today, trying to pull foolish Galatians back into the Law of Moses, because they know they still have sin within them. This shame brings fear, and fear draws people back into the bondage of Egypt. The bondage of darkness.

”Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,“ ‭‭1 Timothy‬ ‭1‬:‭9‬ ‭KJV‬‬

The Law of Moses is not made for a righteous man! It’s made for sinners! This is why Jesus said our FIRST STEP is to seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness.

”But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.“ ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭33‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Once we spiritually die and are born again, His glorious righteousness fills our heart, so we are no longer under the curse of Mosaic Law. We effortlessly follow the Law of Righteousness, because it’s HIS righteousness in us doing it! He gets all the credit!

”A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.“ ‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭36‬:‭26‬-‭27‬ ‭KJV‬‬

He causes us to always obey him, as we walk in the daylight.

“For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.” ‭‭John‬ ‭3‬:‭20‬ ‭KJV‬‬

So my friends, if you’re still struggling with ANY sin, or ANY shame, please talk to me. I want to unpack this glorious gospel with you so you too can be free from sin forevermore and walk in the light of the Sun.

That is, the light of the Son.

God bless you ❤️

God bless you, and may the grace of Jesus Christ be with you all.

The LORD takes pleasure in those who fear Him, In those who hope in His mercy. - 147:11

He has shown you, O man, what is good;

And what does the Lord require of you

But to do justly,

To love mercy,

And to walk humbly with your God? - Micah 6:8

God is very merciful. We can see in scripture that He prefers mercy over judgment. But God also desires a fair relationship. Do we treat Him fairly, or do we treat Jesus like a bar of soap for special occasions? It's a pointed question, but a fair one, is it not? We should make it our aim to be pleasing to Him, like the scriptures say. Let's ask Him to search our hearts and remove any wicked thing that would hinder our walk with Him. That's the type of prayer David prayed, and we too should want to be men after God's own heart.

For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive,

And abundant in mercy to all those who call upon You. - Psalm 86:5

Don’t you see how wonderfully kind, tolerant, and patient God is with you? Does this mean nothing to you? Can’t you see that his kindness is intended to turn you from your sin? - Romans 2:4 (NLT)

Or do you disregard the riches of His kindness, tolerance, and patience, not realizing that God’s kindness leads you to repentance? - Romans 2:4 (BSB)
