Have a Blessed Day Everyone! Tweety

Isaiah 42:5-17 (KJV)
^42:5Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:

⁶I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;

See it was a new covenant that GOD was to give to the GENTILES. WHICH IS US. HOW COULD YOU HAVE MISSED THAT SHE-DEVIL?

⁷To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.

Me and Freeborn & Larry have seen many on the internet with blind eyes. It is everywhere. Those prisoners are the ones that follow and uphold any false doctrine. There are more false relgions out there than right ones. Those 7thd Day Adventist are prisoners of ELLEN WHITE AND SATAN. THEY SIT IN DARKNESS BECAUSE OF WHAT ELLEN TAUGHT.

⁸I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.

Is that not in the commandemments also?

⁹Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.

New things, not old. GOD always tells us what he is going to do. Right here is proof that those laws of OT were going away forever.

¹⁰Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof.

¹¹Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar doth inhabit: let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains.

¹²Let them give glory unto the LORD, and declare his praise in the islands.

¹³The LORD shall go forth as a mighty man, he shall stir up jealousy like a man of war: he shall cry, yea, roar; he shall prevail against his enemies.

¹⁴I have long time holden my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself: now will I cry like a travailing woman; I will destroy and devour at once.

¹⁵I will make waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs; and I will make the rivers islands, and I will dry up the pools.

¹⁶And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.

JESUS SHALL SAVE THE ONES THAT ARE BLINDED.

¹⁷They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say to the molten images, Ye are our gods.

Isaiah 49:1-6 (KJV)
^49:1Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name.

²And he hath made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand hath he hid me, and made me a polished shaft; in his quiver hath he hid me;

³And said unto me, Thou art my servant, O Israel, in whom I will be glorified.

⁴Then I said, I have laboured in vain, I have spent my strength for nought, and in vain: yet surely my judgment is with the LORD, and my work with my God.

⁵And now, saith the LORD that formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, Though Israel be not gathered, yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the LORD, and my God shall be my strength.

⁶And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth.

Praise the Lord, Tweety, for these great messages. See how God shows a DIFFERENCE here, two times, betweer 'Jacob' and "Israel"?

He bought ALL THREE of these groups into one NEW MAN, or kingdom, thus, making peace.

The world is FULL OF FOLKS TRYING TO DESTROY THIS ONENESS WHICH JESUS MADE.

Know what? that fourth kingdom, the old Law, under Moses, broke down all that ancient world, as prophecied.

but that head has and is being healed before our eyes....God showed me this this morning--- they are again conquering the world and bringing them into bondage and destroying them.....only now it is spiritual, as they destroy all truth from their minds. This time it will doom their souls to hell fire.

May you all find a blessing in this message that Freeborn wrote about Baptism.

~~ Is Baptism essential to salvation? ~~

This is a very important subject, on which so many are confused and/or deceived. It is very clearly taught and shown in the word of God, so we need not be deceived or confused.

Jesus himself said: Mark 16:14 Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen.

Mr 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

Mr 16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 16:18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

Mr 16:19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.

Now Notice that these words were spoken by Jesus after his resurrection and after he spoke this, he was received up into heaven and sat on the right hand of God. So this is solid proof that God approved of the words which Jesus proclaimed. Do you think that Jesus did not know the true plan of salvation, even after his resurrection? For anyone to deny any part of the above verses is to say that Jesus did not know what he was speaking of, even after his resurrection.

Jesus said here that baptism is just as important to salvation as is believing. He that believeth AND IS BAPTIZED shall be saved. Who is authorized to change the above statement by the risen Savior? Why would anyone presume that they themselves are qualified to deny what Jesus said, and take away the part of being baptized as part of being saved? I say anyone who does this is a worker of Satan, for he is calling Jesus a lie and setting himself up above Jesus as the authority on how to be saved. Thus he is setting himself up as god.

Did the apostles teach this same message? We all know that they did. Peter commanded them to be water baptized in water, in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins. Acts 10 and Acts 2. Yet most people still deny these words and take them away from being part of the gospel message. Paul went so far as to re-baptism some of John’s converts, believers, in the name of Jesus Christ, then laid hands on them and they received the Holy Ghost. Acts 19.

So now that I have laid this sound foundation for this message, I want to go into another aspect of this, from a different angle.

1pe 3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: 1pe 3:16 Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.

1pe 3:17 For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.

1pe 3:18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:

1pe 3:19 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; 3:20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. 1pe 3:21 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:

1pe 3:22 Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.

Let me point out this from the above Scripture. Just because we are evil spoken of does not mean we are evil or wrong. Many people speak evil of me because of the great truth God has given to me, and because they cannot turn me from it, back to the false teachings of man. I have a good conscience in my walk with God and in my ministry, knowing that I am teaching what the Word of God does say. I also know that I received it by revelation, from God, just as Paul received his. So I am steadfast and unmovable from the things which God has assured me off. So let the evil workers repent and learn the truth.

By the Spirit, Jesus went and preached unto the spirits in prison which were disobedient in the days of Noah. Noah prepared the ark, wherein few, that is, eight souls were SAVED BY WATER. What? Yes. You read it…SAVED BY WATER. The like figure whereunto even BAPTISM doth also now SAVE US. What? Yes. You read it…BAPTISM DOTH NOW SAVE US. Water baptism. We are speaking here of WATER BAPTISM SAVING US.

Oh, many like to scream and carry on that only the blood of Jesus can save us. I know. Then they scream that only believing can save us. I know. One Scripture says that enduring to the end saves us. I know. Peter said to repent and be baptized. So, now, we add repentance to the mix. But how does all of this come together and not cross each other? Simple. It takes it all. It takes first, believing in the truth of God, in Jesus, in his blood, in his atonement for sins. But this is NOT all that it takes. It is only a starting place. We cannot leave out any of God’s Word and make it. If he said, through Jesus, that we must believe AND be baptized, then you better believe that it takes baptism. Did not Paul re-baptize BELIEVERS, in the name of Jesus Christ and THEN lay hands on them to receive the Holy Ghost? So were they saved before this? Of course NOT. They had only made a start. If Paul believed that ONLY BELIEVING saves the soul, then why did he ask them if they had received the Holy Ghost SINCE they believed?

Obviously, Paul did NOT think that believing was enough. He knew these believers needed to do something more. He knew they needed to be water baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins and then be filled with the Holy Ghost. So now that this is solidly proven, lets go back to the figure of the ark/water.

1Pe 3:20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.

1Pe 3:21 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:

Noah believed God and thus saved his house. Didn’t Paul preach this to the jailor? Sure he did. Believe and thou shalt be saved and thy house. So does one’s believing save others? Those who claim that all it takes is believing, do not think that it will save others. So they are not believing the entire Book.

Eight souls were saved by water. This is a like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us. Why deny this? It says this is not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, or washing your skin. It is the answer of a good conscience toward God. (So does this do away with the saving part? No.) Can you be saved without a good conscience toward God? No. Notice it said BY THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST.

Now how does this enter into the being saved by water? Romans six will give us the answer. Ro 6:3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Ro 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

Ro 6:5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:

Ro 6:6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

Ro 6:7 For he that is dead is freed from sin. 6:8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: Ro 6:9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.

Ro 6:10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

Ro 6:11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. 6:12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.

The importance and necessity of baptism as a vital part of our salvation has been lost to the people of today. Those who claim that all one must do to find salvation is to just ‘believe�?have closed out most of the Scripture in favor of this false hope of never having to obey the Word of God. We will find in this message that baptism is absolutely NECESSARY for salvation.

Most people think that because we are justified by faith and the blood of Jesus, that this does away with the necessity of baptism. But this is just not the case. We must learn to go by all of the Word, not just a few select verses. All of the Word is God’s Word, so it takes it all to find the complete truth. It is not all listed in the very same spot, for that would be impossible to tell it all in one single verse.

Anytime the Word of God is used or spoken or called over a thing or person, that causes the Holy Power of God to be there administering the power for healing, salvation, cleansing, justification or any other need we have. So when one is baptized and the word of God is spoken there, as is commanded by the Apostles, then this causes the act of Baptism to bring about the part of salvation which God ordained it to do. The Word of God spoken over the baptism act causes the water to become Holy and powerful, just as the presence of God caused the ground upon which Moses stood to be Holy Ground. (Be not children in understanding.)

Now when this baptism is accomplished, he said that we were baptized into His death.

Ro 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death:

See then that we were baptized into his death and not only that but BURIED with him. When one is baptized they are actually buried with Jesus into his death. Most people say that it is only a ‘picture�?or figure of his death and resurrection as we go down into the water and come back up out of the water. But I can assure you, it is MUCH more than that. Something very spiritual takes place right here. Too much carnality has replaced all the true spiritual truths in the Word, leading souls into darkness and destruction.

Ro 6:5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:

See that? IF we were planted TOGETHER (with Jesus) in the likeness of his DEATH, we shall be in the likeness of his resurrection. So, if you refuse to be planted in the likeness of his death, you will NOT be in the likeness of his resurrection either. See then that it is NECESSARY to be baptized in his Name. Else you did not die with him so you cannot live with him. So now what exactly is the true purpose for this baptism?

Ro 6:6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. Ro 6:7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.

Ro 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Ro 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

See that we must be in Christ Jesus (by one Spirit are we baptized into Christ) in order to be made free from the law of sin and death. Believing does NOT place you into Christ. You must be baptized into Christ, first passing through his death and grave.

Col 3:1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

Col 2:12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.

We are baptized into his death and buried with him. Col 2:12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God,

This ‘wherein�?refers to the baptism, wherein ye are risen with him. See that it said in Romans six that we are raised in the likeness of his resurrection. This is saying the very same thing. Risen with him -- how? Through the faith of the operation of God. See this also proves what I told you, that it is accomplished in the Spirit by God. It is a spiritual happening which only God can do. Then if we obey the command to be baptized in His Name and receive the Holy Ghost, we receive that circumcision of Spiritually cutting off the body of sins. See this is the answer to the cry in Romans 7-- who shall deliver me from this body of death.

Only obedience to this Holy Command to be water baptized into his death, via water baptism in his Name, can cut away the body of sins by this circumcision made without hands. This is further proof that those who refuse to be baptized in his Name are never set free from their sins.

Mt 20:22 But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, We are able. Mt 20:23 And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with:

Lu 12:50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!

In the above verses, Jesus was speaking of his coming crucifixion or death. See that he called it a ‘baptism�?

Now that is a lot of Scripture proving that baptism is the way we are placed into the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. How else are you going to accomplish this? Where does the Scripture say that believing and the blood of Jesus Christ places you into the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus? There is no Scripture teaching this. It is false doctrine of men, who do not wish to obey God.

Now back to the flood of Noah’s time. Peter clearly tied this water baptism to that flood. So let’s take a look and see how that is. That society before the flood had become very sinful and violent. So God sent the flood to destroy all who would not repent and obey the command to go into the ark.

Those who refused, and thought they could be saved some other way, were destroyed right there. They died and went into a prison. God BAPTIZED that entire world then. It took that WATER BAPTISM to get rid of the wicked, and to save those who did believe God. The very same water which killed the wicked, saved Noah and his family. The ark was their safe place. It represents the body of Jesus Christ. They went into that ark, a type of our being placed or baptized into the body of Jesus Christ, for safety. So the water baptism of the flood, cleansed the entire earth and gave the saved ones a new world to live in.

When Noah and his family came out of that ark, the world was clean and fresh, with no left over evidence of the wickedness which had prevailed before the baptism. They now had a new life, or start, with God. They had actually passed through death, burial, and resurrection. They died to their old lives, were buried, and then resurrected into new life, and a new world. Yes, they had gone though that destruction and death and burial of that old world of wicked, rebellious folks. The wicked were buried right there in that watery grave. They never had a resurrection, because they did not go into the ark. Those who did, passed through the waters, without being hurt, as promised by God. They then had a resurrection into new life.

This is the perfect type or figure of NT salvation, via water baptism into the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Without this, there will be no salvation, any more than all those millions or rebels were saved in Noah’s day. You cannot just do away with this much of God’s type or figure, and find his favor or grace. You are thus saying with your own false doctrine, that all of that water baptism of the old world, and the saving of Noah’s family, is of no value to us spiritually. You are saying that God’s typing and this much outpouring of God’s wrath on that sinful world, means nothing. How dare you?

The very same water baptism which destroyed that old world, saved Noah’s family. So the very same water baptism in the Name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of our sins, and placing us into the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, will save the obedient and destroy those who refuse it and call it lies.

Water is very powerful. Water is more powerful than fire because water has dominion over fire. Water puts fire out. How does water put fire out? It smothers it. Fire must have oxygen in order to live, or burn. Without this oxygen, fire will die. So the water puts out the fire of sinful living and lusts which destroys the soul. It put an end to the sinful lives of those before the flood.

If volcanic ash, burning, falls into water, it is immediately put out and hardened into stone. So, when our old lives, full of the fire of lusts and sins, is cast into that water, in Jesus Name, then that fire is put out and we are tempered, or hardened, so that Satan can no longer toss us about and burn us into destruction. We then become lively STONES in the temple of God. But to those who refuse, they are turned into hard stone, or under law, to the destruction of their souls. See, the same water which sets the saints or obedient ones, into a lively stone, unreachable by Satan, also turns the disobedient ones into hard rock, which can no longer be reached or softened to salvation. Their heart is hardened and thus they lose their ability to hear the voice of God. This is important to understanding these spiritual truths. God is going to again destroy the entire wicked society of rebels and those who set themselves up as God, by changing God’s word and pronouncing their own words.

God is going to send a baptism of fire. It will burn up the works of man, but save the righteous. How? Those of us who have gone into that water, being baptized into the body of Jesus Christ, into his death, into his burial, into his resurrection, have already been given new life and set in heavenly places with Christ Jesus. Therefore, the fire cannot hurt us. The water put it out for us. The Water saved us, just as surely as it saved Noah and his family. If you deny this, you must call Peter, and the word of God a lie. How dare you? But by the same token, those who do not have the water in their lives, the fire will not be put out and will therefore destroy them. The water of right baptism is there to protect us when that fire falls to burn up the wicked and their works.

That ark, with its precious cargo of eight souls and many animals, went into a baptism of water, into a death, a burial, a resurrection. Those who were disobedient went into a baptism of water, into a death and a burial, but not the resurrection. Why? Because they did not go into the ark, by faith. They did not BELIEVE what God had said. They thought they could outdo God and find salvation another way. They BELIEVED, but they believed a LIE. They believed their own words instead of God’s Word. So their belief could not save them. It destroyed them.

So I warn you all, trying to get salvation some way other than what God has told us, is nothing but destruction to your soul. The water will not be there for you, to put out that fiery judgment when it comes. So I call upon everyone who may ever read this to stop believing man’s lies and obey the gospel as preached by the Apostles of Jesus Christ and now by me, Jo Smith. I am teaching the very same message which they preached and receiving it by the very same revelation by which they received theirs.

Romans 1:1-32 (KJV)
^1:1Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,

²(Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,)

³Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;

⁴And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:

⁵By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:

⁶Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:

⁷To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

⁸First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.

⁹For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers;

¹⁰Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you.

¹¹For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;

¹²That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.

¹³Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you, (but was let hitherto,) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.

¹⁴I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise.

¹⁵So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.

¹⁶For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

¹⁷For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

¹⁸For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

¹⁹Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

²⁰For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

²¹Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

²²Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
²³And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

²⁴Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

²⁵Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

²⁶For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

²⁷And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

²⁸And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

²⁹Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

³⁰Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

³¹Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

³²Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Romans 8:26-39 (KJV)
^8:26Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
²⁷And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
²⁸And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
²⁹For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
³⁰Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
³¹What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
³²He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
³³Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.
³⁴Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
³⁵Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
³⁶As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
³⁷Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
³⁸For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
³⁹Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

THE JOY OF THE LORD IS MY STRENGTH~!~ HE ALSO IS BECOME MY SALVATION~!~

********************************

I truly wonder why so many hate this great wonderful NT Salvation? And the JOY, everlasting JOY, it gives to us? Why would they rather wallow around in that old law business, than to be filled with the HOLY GHOST? And to be water baptized in the wonderful name of JESUS CHRIST?

by which we must be saved, and healed and work miracles~!~

This was such a good message that I read this morning. I wish many people would read it and study it. It is truly a good message. So I will post it again for all to read.

Endure Reproof

2ti 4:1 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;

2ti 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.

Wow! I see nothing saying in the above verse about women NOT preaching. See?

2ti 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

They are the ones that follow false relgions and listen to people that do not know GOD's WORD. They take a verse here and there, and they jump up and say: I can preach! They do not study the WORD of GOD daily like they are suppose to.

2ti 4:4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

People that follow False relgions and fables are described in the above verse.

2ti 4:5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

2ti 4:6 For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.

2ti 4:7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:

How many of you can keep the faith until death?

2ti 4:8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.

See by this Scripture that it is actually a command to not only preach the word, but to reprove, rebuke and exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.

I am very much appalled to see so many children of God become disgruntled and upset at the ministers who obey this and try to fight the good fight of faith and watching for the souls of the flock of God, with whom they have contact.

Satan brings a big breach in the kingdom of Christ as he leads these misled Christians into rejecting those who are out there on the battle field, battling these false teachings which lead them into delusions and damnation. We have lost many good members here at Build on the True Foundation because of this very thing. Many whom I truly thought were true children of God, have given in to these wolves in sheep clothing and turn and fight the very true ministers of God who are taking the blunt of reproach in order to uphold the truth and help these people out of the clutches of Satan and his ministers.

If you cannot accept rebuke when it is guided your way, in order to help you recover yourself from the snare of Satan, then you will fall by the wayside and end up in total confusion and be lost. That is what Satan is working full blast to accomplish.

When you strike out at the ones who rebuke you and reprove you for mistakes which can become deadly faults, and are thus obeying the command to rebuke and reprove, then you actually help Satan to lead your soul astray into destruction.

I hope to see God’s children grow up and stop this childish running off when they receive a tiny bit of reproval to help they overcome the snares of false doctrine.

Study this Scripture and see that it is the true ministers of God who obey and are not afraid to rebuke, reprove and exhort when it becomes needful.

In His Love,

Thank you for you diligent work in the kingdom of God and Christ. God will greatly reward you on that day. You are truly becoming a good minister of Christ, nourished up in sound doctrine and good works.

I have re-read the message just now. Know what? When I read these messages, which my own fingers wrote, they are nourishment to my soul, as If I had never heard them before. This is one way I know that God gave them.

They never cease to feed me. If I had the time I could sit and read them from now on.

Thanks for posting it again. Hope some will find it and read it here. I see some of those who recently joined, whom I had hoped was one of the good ones who leaves here when they see me having to fight satan's ministers, has unjoined again, without a word.

That one seems to join each time, just when I am in the heat of battle, and they need to learn the above message. This battle is necessary when Satan send his servants in here to teach their damnable doctrines and to disrupt our good teaching.

I hope we can soon get back to studying that Baptism of Fire. Since I am having to stay with Rhonda now, for three days a week, it is going to cut back on what I can accomplish here.

But keep these fires of God burning brightly for the Lord and His people. We never know who might come by and read and learn a bit.

btw, (I see bishop is copying and pasting some of my posts to answer those on his board. If not, he writes EXACTLY like I do. Some of his latest answers are EXACTLY edited as mine are. But that is good. I truly wish many more would use these things, for they are the Word of God. But isn't it a shame that he claims women must not dare teach, yet he is studying my writings and learning by them! Nevertheless, I am glad. That is my purpose.)

I truly believe he has learned Isa. 28 from me. I am glad. Other web sites, 'claiming' to be of God, have made up a nasty word, for those who come by and just read their boards without joining --- that is LURKERS.

If that isn't puke I would like to know what is! What are they afraid of? If they are teaching the pure Word and truth of God, they should be wanting everyone to come by and read and learn. I wish thousands would by here and read and learn.

I want people to get God's truth, not lift me up. I never point to myself, as other teachers do. I point to the Word of God. I COULD. It is certainly NOT that I do not have many wonderful acts of God in my life. I just do not use this as I do not want anyone to think I am pointing to myself. but I think sometimes that I need to testify of these things more, for that also glorifies God.

But when I sit down to write, the WORD OF GOD IS ON MY MIND, SO THAT IS WHAT I WRITE.

Hello, elcee. hope you enjoy our group and learn some wonderful things from the Word of God.

We are on at the sametime I see! Yes. We need to get back into the Baptism of Fire discussion. I do not care if people come by and lurk. When they see what we write and talk about-if they are of the devil, they will not join. If they are of GOD (or think they are) they will join and get involved with the discussions. The true sheep of GOD will stay and hear the WORD. The devils will flee or try and stay and discredit the PURE WORD of GOD and fail.

Thank you for letting me join....It will take me awhile to make my way through the
messages but thats a good thing....When I find something that really inspires me I
print it so I can read at night...Looking forward to sharing and learning and most of
all fellowship. God bless....cee

Hi, elcee and tweety. Yes I want people to read here, all they can, for I know we teach the pure truth which will save souls and teach them how to live and to know right doctrine.

Elcee, that is the very best way to study and learn and to enjoy the messages. I also print them out and read them in bed at night. I love them so much. When I find it hard to sleep, I will either get the Scripture and read or one of the messages. Many times I will receive more revelation from the messages, and write another one.

The Word of God is ETERNAL, never an end to it.
