TO GOD BE THE GLORY!!!
It is amazing how many believers walk in pride everyday while pretending to be humble.
Just the other day I witnessed a Pastor telling another Pastor that he couldn’t use a guess preacher who didn’t have as large of a congregation as he had. And on another occasion I heard a Pastor say that if a preachers doesn’t have a congregation or a “church” that he wasn’t a “real pastor” and couldn’t serve in his pulpit. And on many and various occasions I have engaged in conversations with individual believers who attributed honor and glory to one Pastor or Church while minimizing the importance and value of another in comparison. Many believers have expressed pride and a sense of aristocracy in the size and beauty of their worship facility and in the credentials and accolades of their Pastor. Many so-called Christians openly and expressively demonstrate pride in their Church or Denominational connection, religious history, material wealth and membership size and the size of their ministerial staff and the notoriety of their Pastor.
Many don’t think much of their boasting and consider it lighthearted competition and good clean Christian fun among competing denominations and Christian organizations. But let see what the LORD says about such prideful hearts.
First, the LORD doesn’t approve of nor ordains competition between churches or dissension or any kind of division among His children or within His EKKLESIA (The Divine Body of Christ – the Church).
…For since there is jealousy and dissension among you, are you not worldly? Are you not walking in the way of man? ~ 1 Corinthians 3:3
Nevertheless, brothers, I call on you in the name of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah to agree, all of you, in what you say, and not to let yourselves remain split into factions but be restored to having a common mind and a common purpose. ~ 1 Corinthians 1:10
Finally, brothers, rejoice! Aim for perfect harmony, encourage one another, be of one mind, live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you. ~ 2 Corinthians 13:11
Secondly, there is no such thing as “Christian Pride” or a prideful Christian. The LORD doesn’t endorse Pride in any form, especially among His little ones.
Proverbs 16:5
Everyone who is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD; Assuredly, he will not be unpunished.1 Samuel 2:3
“Boast no more so very proudly, Do not let arrogance come out of your mouth; For the LORD is a God of knowledge, And with Him actions are weighed.Proverbs 3:7
Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the LORD and turn away from evil.Proverbs 16:18
Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before stumbling.
REPENT!

Tell me something.
How is it that we can admire and love someone, respect their wisdom, their insights and their Faith one moment and then hate, despise and disrespect everything about them the next moment simply because they were rumored to be smoking or drinking or partying?
Does the truthfulness of their advice, wisdom, knowledge and insights suddenly become a lie because they fellowship with drunkards, drug dealers and harlots?
Does the strength of their wisdom suddenly become retarded and weak because they have a glass of wine or smoke a doobie?
Does their Faith and obedience to God and all of His moral 10 Commandments; their selfless love and sacrifice and their love and generosity for orphans and widows become filthy and nullified because they don’t do things like Christians think or envision that they should?
Help me to understand something.
How come profanity spewing, fornicating, marijuana smoking, partying adulterous comedians and some Catholic priests gets to call God’s name and the “F” word in the same breath while professing Christianity without any outrage or protest from anyone or suffer any appreciable repercussion or lost of income, while GOD’S Man is ostracized and damned and made to suffer loss of a career and income for having a glass of wine. Why are the Prophets of YHVH condemned for exposing hypocrisy and homosexuality and other immoralities in the pulpit and in churches while other professed Christians are celebrated in their sins and transgressions?
How come some Pastors who have married multiple times and who have committed adulterous acts and who continue to engage in homosexual relationships and who uses cocaine (crack) and who continues to drink alcohol to excess and who has sex with their female and male congregation members continue to maintain their pastorate without any appreciable repercussions, criticisms or loss of income while the truly chosen, sent, honest and humble servant of God is made to suffer great loss and destitution because of some unsubstantiated rumor or some past unfounded indiscretion?
Please help me to understand this.
What makes a user of narcotic prescription pain medications any better that a person who uses cannabis to cope with their pains?
Why are some folks judged more harshly than others for the same alleged offence?
Why are some of us drug tested for illegal drugs and stigmatized and punished for a positive test result, while others are allowed to work in public schools, government and public service positions as functional alcoholics, racists, terrorists and closet pedophiles?
Maybe you have the answers for all of these obvious double standards, prejudices, biases and hypocritical opinions and perverted and corrupt views on morality and justice.
Maybe you can help me to understand these things.
Please feel free to answer in your own way. There aren’t any limitations on how you may reply.
But please keep it REAL. And Keep it clean.
Mark 2:15-17
Later Jesus was having dinner at Levi’s house. Many tax collectors and sinners who were followers of Jesus were eating with him and his disciples. When the experts in Moses’ Teachings who were Pharisees saw him eating with sinners and tax collectors, they asked his disciples, “Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?” When Jesus heard that, he said to them, “Healthy people don’t need a doctor; those who are sick do. I’ve come to call sinners, not people who think they have God’s approval.”
Matthew 11:19
The Son of Man came eating and drinking and they said, ‘Behold the man is a glutton and a wine drinker, a friend of Tax Collectors and of sinners.’ And wisdom is justified by its works.”
What seemed to bother the stuffy, “religious” types wasn’t that Jesus went to parties, but that He seemed to enjoy Himself too much among those that they judged as sinners.
We might do well to remember that the Pharisees and other Jewish Religious authorities of the First Century thought that they knew who Yehowshua was simply by observing his social habits and the company that he kept. And because of their own personal human prejudices,judgments, views and traditional biases and values, they dismissed Christ’s message as being false and him as being a faker and blasphemer.
They missed the mark and many rejected salvation.

Many churches have set themselves up as dispensaries of God’s Laws, mercies and punishment. And many believers submit their good judgment, freewill and their soul’s eternal salvation to the edicts, politics and religious Christian biases of these self-appointed, self-authorized and self-ordained judges.
But God is not going to mitigate our sins because some religious organization or religious leader led us astray.
God is not going to lessen our responsibility to obey His Commands because some church or pastor says that we do not have to keep His Commandments. God, neither His Eternal 10 Commandments and Moral LAWS, changes because the Catholic and Protestant Church changes. (Deuteronomy 32:4, Malachi 3:6)
The LORD doesn’t respect neither is He subject to the traditions, edicts, interpretations, intellectualism, theologies, philosophies and credentialism of mankind.
Although academic credentials and religious orders of ordination hold influence among men and their organizations, these imagined and artificial qualifiers mean nothing to God and have no authority with regards to revealing Saving Knowledge. (2 Timothy 3:1-7)
However, Obedience, Submission and Total Trust in His WORD have great value with GOD.
Compliance with GOD’S Commandments is of immense value to the LORD and acquiring God’s genuine sanction on our lives is what we must strive for. (Galatians 1:10)
Many have mistakenly tried to satisfy God by trying to please their Christian churches and by practicing the doctrines that they teach as if they were the commandments of God. (Matthew 15:9, Mark 7:7)
Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed–not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence–continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling. (Philippians 2:12)

Matthew 5:19-20
Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.For I say to you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.
Satan has tricked the whole world into celebrating pagan festivals and worshiping idol gods. He has disguised his deceptions in the garments of righteousness and attempted to change what God has not changed and in deed cannot be changed. (Daniel 7:25).
Matthew 15:9
“In vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’”
I’m afraid for all who call themselves Christians or rather saints of The MOST HIGH GOD, including myself, because of the worldwide deception of Satan that has engulfed, enslaved and is controlling the minds, hearts, souls and financial resources of almost every soul on earth. (Revelation 12:9)
I find it frightening that Christians and non Christians alike worldwide, presume that everyone celebrates the pagan oriented holiday of Christmas. They indicate their devotion to the spirit of Christmas by greeting everyone with a number of widely acceptable Christmas holiday greetings like “Merry Christmas” or “Happy Holidays.”
The world and her counterfeit Faiths have also demonstrated their devotion to Satan’s religions through the engine of worldwide media propaganda; “Christmas” parties, “Christmas” Television and Cable stories,”Christmas” clothing lines, “Christmas” worship services, “Christmas” shows, etc. You get the point. Everything has “Christmas” attached to it as if it is a mandated world religion ordained by God. Almost everything and everyone is marked with the mark of the spirit of Christmas. (The term Christmas isn’t found or indicated in the original HOLY Scripture Text.)
The world and many believers act as if everyone, regardless of their moral standing with YHVH or the lack of Apostolic precedence, is obligated to acknowledge, engage in or celebrate Christmas. To do otherwise is frowned upon by the society at large and considered taboo or antisocial and even anti-Christian.
Oh How I Pray That Folks Would Be So Passionate About Obeying God and Keeping All Of God’s TRUE and ETERNAL COMMANDMENTS as they are about keeping Christmas. [Ref. Mark 7:9]
I just think that attaching Christ and Yahweh to the pagan festival of Christmas and calling it a God-sanctioned Holy Day is blasphemous and hypocritical, especially given the contemporary atmosphere of new age immorality and the legalization and open celebration of sexual perversions and same-sex marriage that spits in the face of GOD.
And here is the Judgment of Christ:
Matthew 7:21-23
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’”Revelation 20:11-15
Next I saw a great white throne and the One sitting on it. Earth and heaven fled from his presence, and no place was found for them. And I saw the dead, both great and small, standing in front of the throne. Books were opened; and another book was opened, the Book of Life; and the dead were judged from what was written in the books, according to what they had done. The sea gave up the dead in it; and Death and Sh’ol gave up the dead in them; and they were judged, each according to what he had done. Then Death and Sh’ol were hurled into the lake of fire. This is the second death — the lake of fire. Anyone whose name was not found written in the Book of Life was hurled into the lake of fire.
We know that YHVH doesn’t lie and YHVH cannot change. Therefore, I am afraid that if we don’t repent of our idolatrous, willful acts of paganism and turn our backs on the world and her god and her god’s counterfeit Faiths and unholy days, we will be judged by The Messiah as rebellious, lawless and disobedient sinner whose names are blotted out of the BOOK OF LIFE. (Revelation 13:5-8 and Revelation 3:4-6)
REPENT!

The strength to forgive is not human but divine. We should forgive and pray for those who are killing us and/or causing us to suffer. We ought to forgive and pray for those who couldn’t care less if we forgave or prayed for them or not.
“You have heard that our fathers were told, ‘Love your neighbor — and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you! Then you will become children of your Father in heaven. (Matthew 5:43-45)
It doesn’t matter if they ask to be forgiven or acknowledge their transgressions against us or know about our prayers for them. For us, it is a matter of loving FATHER YHVH and becoming children of GOD in CHRIST.
We belong to GOD.
AMEN!

It appears to me that social religions and contemporary Christianity’s ultimate goal is to mitigate the wages and consequences of sexual immorality by adopting an attitude of acceptance, tolerance and political correctness and to focus believer’s attention on material and financial prosperity on earth – suggesting that worldly wealth and financial success equals blessings and approval by God. Thus, they make God a rewarder of sins and sinners.
This is counterfeit FAITH and the religion of the beast of REVELATION and of her countless antichrists, priests and false prophets and churches. (1 John 2:18)
TRUTH
The Kingdom Of God Message says that the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through CHRIST.
Counterfeit Truth
The religious world order of Satan says that the wages of sin is not death (You shall not surely die – Genesis 3:4) Sin is relative and its consequences lessened through religion. And regardless of your fornication, homosexuality, adultery and rebellion, God will “bless” you with wealth and riches in exchange for praises, monetary payments, tithes and seed faith offerings and other types of revenue exchanges.
I know that this message will probably meet with considerable resistance and skepticism and that is alright. I only pray that the message of Satan would be as well scrutinized and examined as God’s messages are. (2 Timothy 2:15)
