MY STRONG ROCK
Saturday, October 26, 2024
C-I-N-O
Are you a CINO; that is, Christian In Name Only? Many folks play in a wretched religious comedy on Sunday, and then on Monday through Saturday, they are in deep love with the world. They sit and sing with the sheep on Sunday, and then run and eat with the goats all through the week. Be not deceived, God is not mocked: His eyes never fail to see the soul of everything, He searches the heart and tries the reins, and sees through the hypocrite's pretended piety and sanctity.
The enemy sows his tares among the wheat. The Sower said, Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest, I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into My Barn. His fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly purge His floor, gather His wheat into the garner; but He will burn up the chaff with fire unquenchable.
Your sinful heart needs the miracle of Grace wrought in you, deep and true, which only comes from the Holy Spirit, not some superficial external religious doings of yours. You must be brought by the Holy Spirit to the simplicity of Faith in JESUS, and the simplicity of The Gospel of Grace of God. You must quit the way of your self-righteousness altogether, and cry out to the living God and plead for Mercy through Christ Jesus. On your very best day, you are altogether vanity, and All of your righteousnesses are as filthy rags, and your formal religiousness is a hollow sham in God's sight. Poor lost sinner, Call upon the Name of LORD while He is near, Seek genuine Faith in The Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and let the cleansing Precious Blood of The Lamb of God pass over your sinful soul. JESUS is the only Name you can trust with your Soul; Believe on His Name, not yours.
Do not be satisfied with being only a nominal Christian; that is, a Christian in name only. You must Be a true-born child of God, for at the coming Judgment, our true spiritual parentage will be discovered. Either the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ is your spiritual Father, or Satan is your father. Now remember: By nature, before being born again, we are all in Satan's family. If your Soul is not saved by JESUS, you're skating on thin ice, an awful doom awaits you just over the next hilltop or around the next curve of life. Please don't commit Soul-icide by rejecting the only Remedy for your sinful condition.
Many go to their "holy" place, on a "holy" day, arrayed in their "holy" garb, and pretend to be Christians. But the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart, all the day, every day and every night of the week, not just on Sunday morning. They put on their Sunday best and go through the motions for a pretense. But they quickly lay aside their surface religiousness on Sunday afternoon. They have other habits and manners on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Your Soul needs the Salvation that JESUS gives, tries, sustains, and accepts. A garden that is only tended one day a week will be an overgrown garden. A wife that is only given surface attention a few minutes on Sunday will soon be a disgruntled, contentious wife.
Don't just a church member; you must be a member of Christ Himself by being born again. Your name must be in The Lamb's Book of Life, not just on some church roll. The Lamb Himself must write your name in His Book of Life. The Lamb will write your name down the moment you sincerely trust only in His Righteousness and Blood. Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in Sincerity, not pretendedly or nominally.
Jesus must create in you a clean heart, and only He can renew a right spirit deep within you. Put zero confidence in a mere religious profession; You must have Christ living in your heart. Believing in creeds and sound doctrine will not save your soul. An outward profession of Christianity is like a corpse all dressed up, but still cold and dead. An outward profession is a fancy way of still being lost.
Judas Iscariot spent three years with JESUS, he repented, but still he was lost, Satan filled his heart, and he went down into bottomless pit. The devils believed in JESUS, and trembled before He cast them out of men and women, but they still remained devils. You may hold a religious office or title like a deacon, pastor, elder, priest, bishop, cardinal, imam, or some other religious leader, but your Soul must be washed from your sins in Jesus' own Precious Blood.
The religious professor experiments with how much sin he can enjoy and still be a Christian. Only a madman experiments with poison and razor sharp knives. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. If any woman loves her sins, the love of JESUS is not in her. They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. JESUS said, Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Thy name? and in Thy name have cast out devils? and in Thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from Me, ye that work iniquity.
Whatever you may be trusting in NOW apart from the Blood and Righteousness of JESUS, away with it forever. Nothing but the Precious Blood of God manifest in the flesh, Nothing but His Atoning Sacrifice for sinners will save you, Come Now to the Lamb of God, and by Faith lay your hand on HIM, and asking HIM to atone for and forgive all your sins.

'THE' SIN DETERGENT
Tuesday, October 22, 2024
LIVE THROUGH HIM
* For in HIM we live, and move, and have our being. If any man eat of this BREAD, he shall Live forever. He that eateth of this BREAD shall Live for ever. Because I Live, ye shall Live also. Live by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. He that believeth in ME, though he were dead, yet shall he Live. Who HIS own self bare our sins in HIS own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should Live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. In this was manifested the Love of God toward us, because that God sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might LIVE THROUGH HIM. Now the just shall Live by faith. Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also Live with HIM. But if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall Live.
Now Understand: Only JESUS Himself can bring your sinful Soul back from the dead. If you don't believe me, ask Lazarus. (John 11:43; John 12:9; Ephesians 2:1) Until you are born again by the Spirit of Christ, your Soul helplessly abides in death and darkness. Live; yea, I said unto thee when thou wast in thy blood, Live.
* Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should Live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world. Alive from the dead; Alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to Live honestly. That he no longer should Live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God. For for this cause was the Gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but Live according to God in the spirit.
* If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, Live peaceably with all men. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, Live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you. Yea, and all that will Live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. For to me to Live is Christ, and to die is gain. For now we Live, if ye stand fast in the Lord. For whether we live, we Live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we Live therefore, or die, we are the Lord’s.
DEAL TRULY
* Now therefore, if ye have done truly and sincerely, in that ye have made Abimelech king, and if ye have dealt well with Jerubbaal and his house, and have done unto him according to the deserving of his hands. if ye then have dealt truly and sincerely with Jerubbaal and with his house this day, then rejoice ye in Abimelech, and let him also rejoice in you.
* In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity. As newborn babes, Desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby. According as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the Father chasteneth not?
* The wisdom that is from above is first pure - and without hypocrisy. Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned. I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day. And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men. But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God. Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck.
* But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience. Look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom. Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
* Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men. Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we should appear approved, but that ye should do that which is honest, though we be as reprobates. That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing. We may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly. Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation. Every prudent man dealeth with knowledge: but a fool layeth open his folly.
* And now if ye will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me. Because God hath dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough. Moreover they reckoned not with the men, into whose hand they delivered the money to be bestowed on workmen: for they dealt faithfully. Howbeit there was no reckoning made with them of the money that was delivered into their hand, because they dealt faithfully.
* Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward. For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ. That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ.
* He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly. Proud and haughty scorner is his name, who dealeth in proud wrath. Because the Lord hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously: yet is she thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant. Therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously. Let favour be shewed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the Lord.
* Surely as a wife treacherously departeth from her husband, so have ye dealt treacherously with me, O house of Israel, saith the Lord. Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers? For from the least of them even unto the greatest of them every one is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely. For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against ME, saith the Lord. But they like men have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me. Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth the man that is more righteous than he? They have dealt treacherously against the Lord: for they have begotten strange children. The men of Shechem dealt treacherously with Abimelech. Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper? wherefore are all they happy that deal very treacherously?
* And when Sarai dealt hardly with her, she fled from her face. Now therefore swear unto me here by God that thou wilt not deal falsely with me. Wherefore dealt ye so ill with me, as to tell the man whether ye had yet a brother? I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me; bury me not, I pray thee, in Egypt. Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty. But let not Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to the Lord. Seeing he hath dealt deceitfully with her. Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another. The Lord deal kindly with you, as ye have dealt with the dead, and with me. Call me not Naomi, call me Mara: for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me. Why do ye such things? for I hear of your evil dealings by all this people. Therefore thou shalt deal kindly with thy servant. For it is told me that he dealeth very subtilly. We have sinned, we have done amiss, and have dealt wickedly. We have dealt very corruptly against THEE, and have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the judgments, which thou commandedst thy servant Moses. But they and our fathers dealt proudly, and hardened their necks, and hearkened not to THY commandments. And testifiedst against them, that thou mightest bring them again unto thy law: yet they dealt proudly, and hearkened not unto thy commandments, but sinned against thy judgments, (which if a man do, he shall live in them;) and withdrew the shoulder, and hardened their neck, and would not hear. My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, and as the stream of brooks they pass away. His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate. I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn: But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers: they were turned aside like a deceitful bow. He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants.
* I will sing unto the Lord, because HE hath dealt bountifully with me. Deal courageously, and the Lord shall be with the good. Deal bountifully with Thy servant, that I may live, and keep Thy word. Thou hast dealt well with Thy servant, O Lord, according unto Thy word. Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: but I will meditate in Thy precepts. Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise THY name: the righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me. He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich. Behold, My Servant shall deal prudently, HE shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high.

RAYS OF LIGHT 2
* Never trust works, but be well reported of good works, be rich in good works, be thoroughly furnished unto all good works, shew thyself a pattern of good works, be zealous of good works, be careful to maintain good works, provoke unto love and good works, but Never trust your works
