Many have dumb down the Gospel of Christ and are preaching a false salvation, a salvation prayer and a socially friendly morality.

Many Christian churches are using worldly and carnal means to attract members and if you use worldly and carnal means to attract folks you will attract worldly and carnal minded people. And you are going to have to use greater worldly and carnal means to keep them in the church.

Now we have large mega churches that are filled with many unconverted worldly and carnal people. And in these large churches there is a small group of people who honestly want to be born again in CHRIST and they honestly want HIS WORD and they honestly want to obey the Holy Eternal Commandments by GOD. They don’t need anything else. All that they need and desire is true worship of the TRUE GOD in the SPIRIT OF TRUTH and HOLINESS.

And the great sin of end time contemporary Christianity is this:

The church at large is made up of mostly worldly and carnal men and women. The small remnant of genuine born-again Saints of God that are in these churches are being starved to death of the truthfully preached, spiritually revealed and taught Word of GOD. They genuinely desire GOD’S HOLY WORD, His Holiness, His purity and The TRUTH and Righteousness of GOD but are denied these things while the worldly and carnal folks are catered to and richly feed the desires of their hearts and itching ears.

It is a fact that worldly and carnal minded folks tend to attracts and cater to other worldly and carnal minded folks. “Birds of a feather tend to stick together.” Thus, the church is not spirit and truth but flesh and desire. The worldly and carnal minded people have made the church at large into a den of pleasure and iniquity and God’s Word a mockery.

The Saints of the MOST HIGH seek only the salvation of our deceived and misguided brothers and sister through the Blood of Christ that is administered by GOD’S Ordained Plan of Salvation.

We urge everyone to repent and earnestly seek genuine salvation and true fellowship with God through water burial in the name of CHRIST and the gift of the HOLY SPIRIT.

PLEASE REPENT!

This is an audio lesson for the mature Saints. It assumes that its listeners are familiar with the history of the formulation of the Bible and its many translations. It also assumes that the listener is familiar with the history of the authentic Faith of Christ and His Apostles and their dependency upon the HOLY SPIRIT for revelation about Christ and God. Please proceed prayerfully.

There is an arrogance in Christianity that is often overlooked. It is the presumption that someone can understand something about God simply by reading and studying the Bible. It is also assumed that the Bible is the WORD of GOD and that it can explain God.

Really???

Then why do we need CHRIST and the HOLY SPIRIT?

Please get your notepads and Bibles ready as we take a few minute to investigate the integrity of the Bible versus the integrity of the Word of God and Holy Spirit.

A CRUMB FROM THE MASTER’S TABLE

²¹Paul and Barnabas proclaimed the good news to the people in Derbe and made many disciples. Then they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch, where ²²they strengthened the disciples and urged them to remain firm in the faith. They told them, “If we are to enter God’s kingdom, we must pass through many troubles.”²³They appointed elders for each church. With prayer and fasting, they committed these elders to the Lord, in whom they had placed their trust. (Acts 14:20-25 CEB)

Cowards, trifling believers and weak perverted minds driven by the pleasures and greed of this world are not a threat to Satan. The world loves its own. It is those of us who are BORN AGAIN and engaged in spiritual warfare on the battlefield of prayer that are the most hated and have the most battles to fight and enemies to overcome.

Many are the afflictions of the righteous,
but the Lord delivers him out of them all.
(Psalm 34:19)

Reference Scriptures: Proverbs 29:27 and John 15:18-19

No matter how well intentioned or constructive, openly criticizing and condemning the riotous outbursts and actions of a people frustrated by continuous injustices and the blatant murder of their children only demonstrates a lack of thought, empathy and compassion for their sufferings and grief.

When it isn’t you or your children or grandchildren that are being slaughtered mercilessly and when it isn’t you being denied justice and fairness, it is easy to sit back in your safe and privileged status and criticize.

Try A Little Tenderness.
~ Galatians 6:1-2 ~

Every time I head out to worship I notice people gathering at their own individual places of worship. Some places of Christian worship are literally next door to each other. And I cannot help but to wonder if God is pleased with that. My soul feels sickened at witnessing such ecclesiastical division.

Based only on my own years of personal observations and years of in-depth investigation, I have come to the conclusion that the majority of the segregation and prejudice among some Christian worshipers and churches is steeped in Pride, Arrogance and Ignorance. Some are just too prideful in their organizational positions, titles and power to admit that they are in error and some are just too arrogant and self-absorbed to change and others just don’t care to know any better (willful ignorance). And of course there are those motivated by greed to maintain the status quo for personal gain, honor and prestige.

Thus, we can’t all just get along nor can we all worship together as One Body of Christ.

It is a sad day in Christendom when believer are divided by a denominational fence and an erroneous way of thinking and believing. I fear that many have already received the Mark (sign) of the Beast and just aren’t aware of it.

As the end-time slowly approaches and unveils its prophecies, I issue this challenge to all saints of God.

Make an effort to close the gap between ourselves and heal wounds and nurture the idea of unity in the Christian community.

Stop trying to separate and divide ourselves here on earth. We are not that smart or astute to the things of God as to be able to discern who is righteous and who is wicked. The devil imitates a saint so well that it is almost impossible to tell one from the other. As Matthew 13:27-30 indicates, God Will Do The Dividing – not us.

Stand As One In the Spirit Of Christ As Best You Can In This World Of Divisional Christianity.

I Personally Practice This By Visiting and Sharing In Worship In As Many Worship Places As I am Welcomed and Invited to – trying to show myself as friendly as possible without violating the integrity of my moral conscious or the Eternal Commands of God. (Romans 12:18)

To God Be The Glory, Praise and Honor. Amen.

ONLY IF IT SERVES US DO WE PREACH IT

“Whoever then annuls one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever keeps and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.” ~ Matthew 5:18

We can preach hard, long and passionate on the Old Testament (Moses’) Law of tithing but in comparison we are silent when it comes to teaching on sexual purity, moral integrity and the absolute need for every believer to obey all Ten of God’s Eternal Commandments, especially the fourth commandment – the perpetual covenant sign/mark).

We tend to excuse and explain that commandment away but it never occurs to us to excuse and explain away the tradition of tithing.

Let it be known here and now that one is eternal and the other is temporary. One is written by the finger of God and the other by the hand of a man.

Discover the difference and learn the Truth about tithing in the Church of Jesus Christ.

FRESH FROM THE MASTER’S TABLE

A new revelation just appeared to me inspired from a post on FaceBook.

Many people know about investing in stocks and bonds. They know about investing in venture capitals. But had you given any thought to investing in other people. This is the real challenge and it comes with no guarantees.

Jesus started out His earthly ministry by investing in about 70 souls who became his disciples but only twelve became his faithful followers and were invested with even more of Christ (Himself) and was appointed by Christ as His chosen apostles and one of them was the devil. (John 15)

I have been personally practicing the divine principle and charge of investing in the soul and spiritual development of others for a long time. I know that it will not always pay off and the harvest may not come in my earthly lifetime.

Jesus warns us that, “Unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies; it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.” (John 12:24) And in addition to that bit of spiritual Truth, it is God who gives the increase to all divine investments and He does so in due season.

Investing into the lives of others isn’t cheap, comfortable or convenient. Nevertheless, those of us who are filled with The Spirit of Christ are encouraged and compelled to invest ourselves, our gifts, knowledge, experience, wisdom and strength into the lives of those who are seeking the Kingdom of God. In so doing, we imitate Christ.

By spending significant time with a willing person and teaching them through life-living examples as well of the taught anointed Word of God, we impact them and initiate a notable change and growth in their lives.

As in the case of Christ Jesus and His investment into the lives of His Apostle, He turned ordinary fisherman and tax collectors into outspoken and bold emissaries for the Kingdom of God and founders of His One True Church. Their transformation was so significant that the devil took notice. (Matthew 16:17-19)

Divine transformation is from Heaven and is not found in any earthly discipline or power. It cannot be attributed to one’s education, intelligence, wealth or Power. It is solely found in Christ. It is The Anointing that makes the difference and the devil knows it. In many cases, the power of Christ is almost always first perceived by the enemy.

“When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus.” ~ Acts 4:13

If we invest Jesus Christ into the lives of others and entrust that investment to the Father’s care, then there should be some evidence of our investment in the lives of those whom we have invested in. Their faith becomes stronger. Their resolve becomes more steadfast and unmovable and their witness becomes more mature and bold.

A CRUMB FROM THE MASTER’S TABLE / “The Spirit of Entitlement”

We are living in an environment of spiritual entitlement.

Some of our religious institutions are trying to sell the doctrine of “validation and elevation / self-realization and self exaltation.”

Many have forgotten God’s doctrine of self-denial, self-sacrifice and unselfish love. Now we want God to give us what we think he promised us because we did what the preacher said we should do to make God do what we want him to do. We feel entitled to our wants, wishes and prayers regardless of our unrepentful attitudes, unwashed souls and wicked spirit.

However, we don’t need to be validated in our sins nor elevated in our wrongs. What we need is conviction of our sins, repentance from our wrongs and to be born of the water and of the Spirit – born again.

REPENT!!!

A Crumb From The Master’s Table with Bishop O.W. Prince

It is the Wealthy, Powerful, Famous and The Elite in society that has the most influence and impact on the way that we see things.

Maybe you not have noticed it but in whatever moral direction the affluent goes that is also the direction that the world goes in.

The affluent, the politically and socially powerful and the media mega gods shape our opinions, attitudes and values everyday. Many are just blind to the delectable and captivating hand of Satan altering God’s order and eternal moral statutes in order to feed the desires of the flesh and of sin and cause us to worship, imitate, serve, praise, honor and glorify the Beast unaware.

Without realizing it, many so-called Christians have become idolaters by imitating the world and taking on the world’s image and immoral values.

There is very little if any real visual or behavioral distinction between a saint and a sinner these days. The line between right and wrong is so blurry that an Optometrist couldn’t clear it up.

However, all true and genuine Christians are challenged and commanded by Father God to be distinctively different from the world in appearance as well as in deportment.

There are some scriptures that I could quote but I will simply summarize here by saying that we are commanded to be Holy for our Heavenly Father is Holy.

We are challenged to live soberly and in modest apparel as opposed to resembling the glamour and glitter of the world.

We are commanded to guard our tongues from ungodly and unfruitful words and to esteem others better than ourselves.

We are commanded to demonstrate love daily and not look upon our brother’s needs and not willingly share our abundance with him.

We are commanded to pray always and forgive constantly, trusting our Father to avenge any wrongs done to us for truly we belong to Him.

And we are commanded to maintain sexual purity and avoid even the appearance of immorality.

These things being said, it is fairly easy to see that anyone adhering to these eternal principles would stand out from the world like a single flame in a dark room.

Instead of going along to get along and succumbing to the seductions of the world and its many powers, try letting your little light shine. You may find that you are not alone. There are many other little lights around you.

Let your light shine today!

This Is How We Praise Our God.

Together we can light up the world.

(Bishop O.W. Prince)

“You are light for the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Likewise, when people light a lamp, they don’t cover it with a bowl but put it on a lampstand, so that it shines for everyone in the house. ¹⁶In the same way, let your light shine before people, so that they may see the good things you do and praise your Father in heaven. ~ Matthew 5:14-16 (CJB)

“TRUTH DOES THE BODY GOOD” – A PASTOR’S COMMENTARY / August 31, 2014 Edition

I know that I have said this countless times but I feel led to proclaim it again.

“The principle offices of ministry in the Body of Christ – THE CHURCH – are not positions and titles to be attained and glorified in but Gifts of God by His Holy Spirit. We can’t earn a gift nor can we attain one through academics or credentials. It is totally the divine prerogative of The Father as to who is gifted and who isn’t – who is chosen and sent by Him and in what capacity that they are endowed by Him to operate. Not everyone is promised to be gifted as an apostle, spokesperson, teacher, evangelist or shepherd. The Scriptures indicated that he only gave some these gifts of purpose and grace. God Is In Control as to who is gifted to do what in His Ekklesia; not man or demon but GOD!

(Bishop O.W. Prince)

This is why it says,

“After he went up into the heights,
he led captivity captive
and he gave gifts to mankind.”

Now this phrase, “he went up,” what can it mean if not that he first went down into the lower parts, that is, the earth? The one who went down is himself the one who also went up, far above all of heaven, in order to fill all things. Furthermore, he gave some people as emissaries, some as prophets, some as proclaimers of the Good News, and some as shepherds and teachers. Their task is to equip God’s people for the work of service that builds the body of the Messiah, until we all arrive at the unity implied by trusting and knowing the Son of God, at full manhood, at the standard of maturity set by the Messiah’s perfection. ~ Ephesians 4:8-13 (CJB)

If the gift (office of ministry) that is professed is not God-given (Of The Holy Ghost) but humanly attained, then it is false and contrary to Father God and His Way.

Recognize the Truth.

Truth Does The Body Good!

REPENT!
