THIS WILDERNESS TIME IS TO CONFORM YOU INTO IMAGE OF CHRIST  AS A SON, READ ROMANS 8

Rom 8:18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy [to be compared] with the glory which shall be revealed in us. ..
Rom 8:13 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.

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

Rom 8:15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, "Abba, Father."

Rom 8:16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,

Rom 8:17 and if children, then heirs--heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with [Him], that we may also be glorified together.

Rom 8:18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy [to be compared] with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

Rom 8:19 For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God.

Rom 8:20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected [it] in hope;

Rom 8:21 because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

Rom 8:22 For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now.

Rom 8:23 Not only [that], but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body.

Rom 8:24 For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees?

Rom 8:25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for [it] with perseverance.

Rom 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us [fn] with groanings which cannot be uttered.

Rom 8:27 Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit [is], because He makes intercession for the saints according to [the will of] God.

Rom 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to [His] purpose.

Rom 8:29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined [to be] conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.

Rom 8:30 Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.

Rom 8:31 What then shall we say to these things? If God [is] for us, who [can be] against us?

Rom 8:32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?

Rom 8:33 Who shall bring a charge against God's elect? [It is] God who justifies.

Rom 8:34 Who [is] he who condemns? [It is] Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.

Rom 8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? [Shall] tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

Rom 8:36 As it is written: "For Your sake we are killed all day long; << (CROSS BARING LIFE )We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter." [fn]

Rom 8:37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.

Rom 8:38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come,

Rom 8:39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

FEEL FREE TO SHARE TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY ALL OVER ALL GLORY TO GOD OUR FATHER

God's Vision For the Last-Day Church! By David Wilkerson

God's Vision For the Last-Day Church!

I want to share with you what I believe is God's vision for His last-day church. It is a vision based on the revealed Word of God -- because the Bible clearly outlines what the church of Jesus Christ will be like just prior to His coming.
Certainly, the church in America is far from what God has envisioned it to be. In fact, most of what we see going on today in the name of Christ is an abomination. Yet, there are remnant churches scattered throughout this nation and around the world that live up to God's holy standards. They lead holy lives, preach righteousness, believe in super natural works. These churches are alive, full of the Spirit of God, and are impacting lives and entire communities for Jesus.
But, for the most part, entire denominations today operate without the Holy Spirit. They are devoid of the presence of Jesus, bankrupt of all spiritual gifts. They practice a form of religion without any power, conviction or saving message. They are cozy with the world and are more political than spiritual. They appease sin -- coddling homosexuals, winking at divorce, ridiculing the supernatural, tossing aside all teachings about heaven, hell, repentance and judgment.
Such churches wonder if God is even alive. They are so cold, weak and timid, the world scoffs at them! They have no influence, no respect, no impact on society whatsoever.
But the New Testament church made devils tremble! It drove legions of demons into the abyss, prayed prison doors open, made rulers cringe in fear. No weapon could prosper against it! Those early believers had such faith and power that cripples rose up leaping, beggars became evangelists. They believed in the supernatural -- and they opened blind eyes, unstopped deaf ears and healed all manner of diseases. They even raised the dead!
I am not saying God's last-day church will be a repeat or copy of the first- century church. No -- I am saying it will be even greater than that! It will be mightier, stronger, with an even greater revelation of Jesus. It will have a greater unction from the Spirit than ever -- greater even than at Pentecost! God always saves His best wine for last!
The prophet Daniel confirms this. He said certain prophetic truths were locked up, only to be revealed in the last days:
"...for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end....and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand" (Daniel 12:9-10).
God's people are going to begin to understand "new things in his Word!" These things are already in the Bible; they simply haven't been revealed in fullness. And Daniel said he saw these things but couldn't understand them, even with all his divine wisdom: "And I heard, but I understood not..." (verse 8).
But today the Holy Spirit has revealed these things to spiritual, discerning saints!
"...as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God" (1 Corinthians 2:9-10).
The Holy Ghost abides in us to reveal these hidden things to us!
Right now the Lord is preparing a powerful yet humble army of shepherds after His own heart. And He also is preparing a remnant congregation of hungry sheep who have turned away from the deadness and sin of the modern church establishment. The scene is being set for that church against which the gates of hell shall not prevail. It will be hot, not lukewarm -- and it will rock the very foundations of hell. No power on earth will be able to ignore or despise it!
Here is what I see in the Scriptures as God's vision for this last-day remnant church:

---

1. Once Again the Gospel Is
Going to Be "Fully Preached"!

---

You may not want to accept my next statement. But, as I see it, the gospel of Jesus Christ has not been "fully preached" in this generation! Except for the ministries of a few righteous men and women of God, the gospel we hear today is not what Paul said is a gospel "fully preached."
Paul could say to his generation: "...I have fully preached the gospel of Christ" (Romans 15:19). And he described this "fully preached" gospel as one that is much more than words. It is a gospel of words and deed!
"For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient in word and deed..." (verse 18).
Paul was saying, "The Gentiles turned to Christ not because of my preaching alone -- but because my words were accompanied by miraculous deeds!"
"Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ" (verse 19).
If Paul had preached and taught without signs and wonders following, his message would not have had its full impact. It would not have been the gospel fully preached! He said to the Corinthians, "Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds" (2 Corinthians 12:12).
Note Paul's words in this verse: signs, wonders, mighty deeds. Most Christians today cringe when they hear them! Why? It is because these words have been made an abomination by unscrupulous, power-hungry preachers and teachers!
For the past forty years we have witnessed a grievous perversion of the fully preached gospel. Many intelligent, Christ-loving believers have been shocked or chagrined by the mockery and misuse of super natural workings by impostors who have set themselves up as figures of faith and power. These liars have turned the fully preached gospel into acts of pride and personal gain.
You see them being blasted on television and in newspapers. You see hucksterism, theatrics, phony healings, unsubstantiated claims, money-grabbing, exaggerations -- all so abominable in God's eyes. It has been one of the most shameful episodes in the history of the church!
Yet, as if these perversions weren't enough, along came the "prosperity gospel," which added to the perversion. Basically, accepting Christ meant "winning the lottery"! It meant having the promise of wealth -- cars, clothes, houses, land. Whatever a believer "spoke into existence" was to become reality in his life. Even worse, this gospel portrayed Jesus as some wine-guzzling sports fanatic who loves to dote on His "kids"!
The biggest tragedy of all is that these very perversions have caused many God-fearing pastors, evangelists and laypeople to turn away from the truth of a fully preached gospel. They want nothing to do with signs, wonders or miracles.
Yet, beloved, God is still God -- and He is mighty in working miracles and wonders! He is still our healer -- and He wants to show Himself strong on behalf of those who trust in Him! Great supernatural workings took place in the New Testament church without any perversions -- without advertising, showmanship, or any person claiming all the power and authority. The ministry of Paul provides an example:
At Troas, Paul preached such a long message, a young man named Eutychus fell asleep while sitting on a window sill. The boy fell three stories to the ground -- and the Bible says Eutychus "was taken up dead" (see Acts 20:5-12).
When Paul arrived on the scene below, he quieted everyone. Then he did as Elijah had done: He stretched himself out over the dead lad. Suddenly, life came back into Eutychus. The boy had resurrected -- raised from the dead! What a mighty miracle!
Now, after this happened, Paul didn't send everyone out to spread the news that a miracle had taken place. He didn't invite Eutychus to accompany him on his evangelistic journeys and testify of his resurrection. There were no pamphlets urging, "See the boy who fell from a building and died. God raised him from the dead! Hear the preaching of Paul, man of great faith and power!"
No -- that wasn't what happened at all. Instead, everyone simply went back to the third floor, had communion, and Paul continued preaching. Scripture does not even mention Eutychus any further. Why? Because the church expected supernatural works to happen! They preached a full gospel -- with signs and wonders following!

---

These Mighty Deeds Happened
Daily Among The Saints --
and No Person Got the Glory!

---

These great deeds were called "special miracles":
"And God wrought special miracles by the hand of Paul: so that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them" (Acts 19:11-12).
How can a handkerchief or apron get any glory? Paul sent the believers out with such items, and they in turn told others: "The saints have prayed over this garment. If you'll believe God and place it on you, He will heal you." When the people laid these articles on their foreheads, limbs or bodies, they quickly got up from their bed or their begging mat. They were healed!
These "special miracles" became an expected part of the believers' daily lives and worship. They didn't have to attend some huge meeting with fanfare to see them take place. No -- they saw these mighty deeds as a part of their everyday walk with the Lord!
Here is my point: If preaching alone could accomplish God's desires, America would have been won to Christ long ago. Consider what happened in Ephesus, after three months of bold preaching:
"...(certain) were hardened, and believed not, but spake evil of that way before the multitude..." (verse 9).
Ephesus was a godless, idolatrous city given over to the occult. The population was obsessed with occult books and practices, magic, witchcraft. And after three months of bold preaching by Paul, the people only grew harder.
But then God began to perform special miracles through Paul's hands. Suddenly, the sick were being healed, the lame were given healthy limbs, the blind had their sight restored!
That's when the demonic powers of Ephesus began to get riled up. Seven sons of a priest named Sceva went to a certain man's house to try to cast demons out of him "in the name of the Jesus preached by Paul." But the legion inside this man turned on the seven and attacked them, tearing their clothes and beating them wildly. They ran out for their lives, naked and screaming!
Word spread throughout the whole city: "...and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified" (verse 17). People exclaimed, "These followers of Jesus have authority over demon powers!"
So Paul held a bonfire on the city square:
"Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver" (verse 19).
Thousands of books on exorcism, magic, occult sciences, charms, witchcraft -- all went up in flames! And it happened because the people of Ephesus had been confronted with a gospel "fully preached" -- with signs, wonders and mighty deeds!

---

God Envisions a Last-Day Church
That Does More Than Preach and Teach!

---

I believe the gospel can't be fully preached unless it is accompanied by the power and demonstration of the holy Ghost -- working mighty wonders, proving the gospel is true!
Paul boldly stated, "And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power" (1 Corinthians 2:4).
The Greek here means, "with proof." Paul was saying, "I preach the gospel with proof. God and the Holy Spirit are backing me up with wonders!"
Indeed, Hebrews 2:4 says God confirmed Paul's message with signs and wonders: "God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to His own will."
The New Testament believers had one prayer: "that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus" (Acts 4:30). These apostles went everywhere fully preaching the gospel:
"...and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles" (Acts 2:43). "And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people...And believers were the more added to the Lord" (5:12). "There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one" (verse 16).
Finally, here is one of the most conclusive of all verses -- proving that a fully preached gospel must include signs and wonders:
"Long time therefore abode they speaking boldly in the Lord, which gave testimony unto the word of his grace, and granted signs and wonders to be done by their hands" (Acts 14:3).
This verse says the apostles ministered boldly for a long time, preaching grace and repentance -- and then God granted "signs and wonders to be done by their hands"!
In contrast, the church today has become weak and ineffective. Why? Because it no longer believes in the supernatural! Theologians tell us that at some point God quit performing mighty deeds. Yet, exactly when all of this supernatural activity stopped, no one can say!
Some claim that miracles ceased when Paul died. Others say it was about A.D. 150. But, I ask you: Who has the audacity to pick the day, week, month or year when God supposedly said, "Enough! For thousands of years I've performed signs, wonders and miracles for those who have believed. But now you have a completed Bible and are more intelligent. So I'm cutting you off! No more miracles -- no more signs or healings!"
Beloved, don't be fooled! There is a great deception behind all of this.
You see, Paul tells us that in the last days Satan will come forth "with all power and signs and lying wonders" (2 Thessalonians 2:9). Jesus Himself said, "For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect" (Mark 13:22).
Think of it: Demons, false Christs, false prophets -- all seeking to confirm their message with lying signs and wonders! Yet, am I supposed to believe that God will expose His church to such a powerful, wonder-working devil -- but leave us with no mighty weapons or supernatural workings of our own? Will He have a church that says, "Satan can work signs and wonders, but God cannot?" Never! That is absolutely unthinkable!
Rather, the Bible says God's holy remnant church will go "forth and (preach) every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following" (Mark 16:20).
That is what God envisions for us!
You ask, "But what about all the lying signs and wonders among Satan's hordes?"
I tell you, just as Moses' reed swallowed up Pharaoh's snakes, God's mighty deeds in these last days will swallow up all the devil's dark deeds. Satan's works will appear as nothing compared to God's incredible signs and wonders!
The miracles of this last-day church will be genuine, real, undisputable, undeniable -- and yet they will not be well-known. Instead, they will issue forth from the hands of ordinary, holy, separated saints who know God and are intimate with Jesus.
These believers will emerge from the secret closet of prayer -- a small, prepared army full of faith, with no other desire than to do the will of God and glorify Him. Without fanfare they will go into hospitals, homes, the streets, and will lay hands on the sick and see incredible miracles of healing. They will be fearless against demons, casting down great principalities and powers. They will be so powerful in prayer, they'll open entire nations for the gospel. And God will confirm His Word by their mighty deeds!"

2. This Last-Day Remnant Church
Will Be Comprised of Christians
Who Refuse to Live by Bread Alone!

---

If you think you're too ordinary for God to use, listen closely: God is not going to do His last-day work through big-name evangelists or pastors. They alone won't be able to handle the great moving of His Spirit! The fact is, God is going to need every housewife, teenager, elderly person and all who love Him to carry out His mighty work!
This last-day army is going to be made up of Christians who have been weaned from bread alone. Let me explain what I mean:
God said through Moses:
"...man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live" (Deuteronomy 8:3).
Jesus Himself quoted this verse when Satan tempted Him in the wilderness to turn stones into bread.
Bread stands for all natural, material things necessary for this life. These include food, shelter, clothes, labor, wages. Bread represents livelihood -- those earthly things we need that are not evil in themselves.
Now, the Lord knows we need all of these things. But multitudes of Christians live only for the things of this life! Their lives are wrapped up in their job, their house, paying the bills. And all their prayers are focused only on their needs -- their hurts, their problems, their desires. They live on bread alone!
Of course, it is honorable to have a job and to provide for your family. That's all a part of obeying the Word of God and living by every word that proceeds out of His mouth. But some Christians never get beyond bread. They spend a lifetime just surviving!
For example -- how many Christian young men and women spend all of their time thinking about their need for a mate? How much of their prayers is focused on asking God to fulfill their loneliness! They are living on bread alone.
How many married couples spend all of their time focused on trials and troubles with their children? This one matter consumes all their thoughts, all their prayers. They are focused on one need -- on bread!
Jesus did teach us to pray, "Give us this day our daily bread" (Matthew 6:11). But first He said we were to pray, "Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done..." (verse 10). We are to focus first on God's interests -- to pray for His will to be done!
What have you been thinking about more than anything else these past six months? What has consumed most of your time and prayers? Has it been mostly bread issues -- personal needs?
If you focus only on bread, then you have no life! You're living in a wilderness, as the children of Israel did. Each day they arose and began crying for bread. Yet, after God gave it to them, they cried for meat. They continually cried out for their personal needs to be met -- every day for forty years!
Beloved, that is boredom -- drudgery! God never intended that for His children. Instead, He told Israel through Moses, "You should be living by every word that proceeds out of My mouth! Yes, I told you I would give you bread. But don't stop there. Move on! I've told you there's a land ahead flowing with milk and honey, with rivers, trees, forests, green pastures. And I want that place for you!"
If your whole life is centered on survival -- if you're not shut in with Jesus, growing in His Word, preparing your heart as a bride adorned for her Husband -- then you have no life at all! You're bored, unfulfilled! You may come to church and receive a little bit of life here and there. But you are not giving life!
Right now God is raising up a people who are not focused on bread issues. Instead, they are focused on His will for this midnight hour! They are tired of living in a wilderness of mere survival. All they want is to know and do God's will. They are ordinary people who have been weaned from living on bread alone. Their training has come from the Holy Ghost -- in the secret closet of prayer!
Every member of this last-day army must be ready and prepared in heart -- because God is poised to release His great, final outpouring!
Before Jesus came, John the Baptist went forth "to make ready a people prepared for the Lord" (Luke 1:17). This was a preaching of repentance -- a call to people to prepare their hearts.
Paul also spoke of being "prepared unto every good work" (2 Timothy 2:21). And Samuel told Israel that God would do a new thing for them, if they would "prepare (their) hearts unto the Lord, and serve Him only" (1 Samuel 7:3). Also, David said, "Lord, thou hast heard the desire [petition] of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear" (Psalm 10:17).
In this last verse, David outlines a simple, three-step plan for knowing the Lord's mind and will for your life:
1. Petition Him (pray).
2. Prepare your heart to hear His voice.
3. He will cause you to know. The Spirit will speak to you!
Very soon, God is going to pour out of His glorious cup the greatest measure of His Spirit the world has ever seen. Great conviction will come upon your neighbors, coworkers and unsaved family members. The Holy Ghost is going to convict of sin, righteousness and judgment!
People everywhere are going to be hurting. And they're going to turn from their dead churches to seek out those who walk with God. They will be desperate to find someone whose heart has been prepared!
Beloved, you are one of those whom God is calling! He is going to use hundreds of thousands of ordinary servants for His end-time work of people-to-people ministry. So, I ask you: Are you preparing your heart right now for His work to be done, both in you and through you? Or are you just sitting by, enduring a wilderness life?
Confess to God today: "Oh, Lord -- I want my life to count! I know that right now I'm living in a wilderness of despair, on bread alone. But I want to live!"
Dive into His Word. Learn to seek Him daily. There is revolutionary power in the preparation of your heart! It is through this preparation that meaning and fullness come to your life. It changes your feelings, your personality -- and it releases power in you!
When God sees you are ready, He will bring to you great opportunities to do His work. You won't even have to leave your house. God will bring the needs right to your door!
But be warned: If you don't begin to seek Him, the Bible says, you will turn to evil. "And he did evil, because he prepared not his heart to seek the Lord" (2 Chronicles 12:14).
We serve a mighty God who at this very hour is preparing His people for a mighty work:
"The 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" (Isaiah 42:13).
So prepare your heart to meet Him. Become a ready servant, equipped and prepared for his great, last-day outpouring. And you will see His glory come alive in you in this final hour!
Hallelujah!

NAR - "Then New Apostolic Reformation" founded by C. Peter Wagner - Exposed in SE PA - Greater Reading & Lancaster, PA

by Bob Brunette on Friday, October 14, 2011 at 11:04am

The Lord gave me a dream Friday 10/14/11 (10:45am). (As I write this message I can hear loud claps of thunder and lightning)

THE LORD DIRECTED ME TO EXPOSE NAR – “The New Apostolic Reformation” founded by C. Peter Wagner and the Kansas City Prophets/Apostles movement to include IHOP “International House of Prayer”

“But what I am doing I will continue to do, so that I may cut off opportunity from those who desire an opportunity to be regarded just as we are in the matter about which they are boasting. 13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. 14 No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their deeds.” ~ 2nd Corinthians 11:12-15



The Lord very rarely speaks to me in a dream with such force of conviction. But did today this dream was especially vivid with both urgency and conviction, in fact the dream had awakened me from a sound sleep. Not on my behalf but for the anger He holds against those who purport to represent Christ, when in fact they are causing His Precious and Beloved sheep to go astray in a Day of Great Judgment! The Lord has exhausted His patience with these false prophets who call themselves apostles, prophets, evangelists, teachers and pastors.

“Woe to the rebellious children,” declares the LORD, “Who execute a plan, but not Mine, And make an alliance, but not of My Spirit, In order to add sin to sin” ~ Isaiah 30:1


For the Lord is going to be raining down His Righteous Judgments upon these leaders to the end that there will not be one stone left upon another in the self-righteous of their celebrated ministries because of His great fury, by those who consider themselves to be the Lord’s ministers while taking upon themselves the Glory that is the Lord’s and the Lord’s Alone! Jesus actually meant what He said, when He stated it would be better for a milestone to be strung around a man’s neck and thrown into the sea rather than to cause one of His sheep to stumble in their faith!
We are going to begin seeing so-called spiritual leaders from all sections of U.S. Evangelical Christianity to crash and burn, because they will not be able to withstand the Lord’s Jealousy and His subsequent raining Judgments that will come upon them. Judgment does in fact begin with the House of God! That will result in the utter demise of these self conceived and celebrated kingdoms, that will be found resisting the Lord’s Will being done!


“In the dream the Lord showed me a meeting that a local Reading, PA pastor (Dove Fellowship ministry) had organized in the region. It was an impromptu type of a meeting. And I was present there along with about 15 – 20 pastors/leaders. And suddenly the spirit of the Lord rose up in my spirit with an anger that was clearly not mine, but the Lords. All because the Lord had simply had enough of the deception that was going on in His Name amidst His Precious and Beloved flock. Most but not all of these pastors & leaders were completely blinded by the seriousness of the impact that this deceptive NAR ministry was having. And the reason for their blindness was spiritual pride and hardened hearts who had come to resist the very Spirit of Grace. And because of their blindness would continue to lead His Flock astray.This group of pastors were completely unaware of how His precious the Lord's Flock means to Him. And the impact that they would have to endure from being seduced into gross spiritual error and subsequently mislead. And unless otherwise alerted would have to bear the inevitable consequences of being mislead in the form of the soon to break forthcoming judgments. And all because of these false apostles, prophets, teachers and pastors who were leading the Master's Sheep astray.

In the midst of the meeting that was being led by this pastor (or pseudo-apostle), the Lord out of the clear blue began showing me the sin that was already prevalent in not all but many of these so-called pastors leaders and I could feel the anger of the Lord burning in my physical being. I remember attempting to shrug off the conviction that was coming upon me for fear of what would result in the form of consequences that I would have to bear, for being so outspoken. But the Lord clearly spoke to me “Was I going to be more concerned for myself or the scattering of His Precious Flock”, for which I chose to listen to His Voice, irrespective of the consequences. And then the Spirit of the Lord rose above my fears and then I distinctly remember just as this Reading, PA Dove ministry pastor was about to lead the gathering in a direction that he thought it should go, the anger of the Lord gripped me and I could no longer bear to sit idly by, for then I would have actually been a participant in their sin, by omission - more concerned about the fear of men rather than the Fear of the Lord!
So I stood up in the meeting, and I began to tell them outright that NAR - The New Apostolic Reformation founded by C. Peter Wagner was a ploy and deception that was conceived right from the pit of hell! I began to warn all those in attendance to be keenly aware of this and to repent of the deception and the alluring doctrines that NAR ascribed to. 1st Timothy 4:1 “For the Spirit expressly says that in the last days many will depart from the faith giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils”.

And to especially warn those who were unaware of the danger that came along with any way association that they might involve themselves with in this movement, not to mention the impact that would be experienced by their respective flock by mere association. For in so doing would expose their flocks to this ever so subtle but frontal and demonic… attack against the Lord’s flock. Reminding them that the Lord was completely aware of just what exactly was going on behind closed doors not only in their personal lives but so too in their congregational meetings. To include naming names with great boldness: Kansas City Prophets and Apostles & IHOP “International House of Prayer”– C. Peter Wagner, Mike Bickle, Bill Johnson, Lou Engle, Chuck Pierce, John Arnott, Rick Joyner etc. More closer to home the Lord directed me to expose the fact that Larry Kreider of Dove Fellowship International DFI is intimately associated with NAR, in fact Larry Kreider is one of NAR’s chief elders and therefore all of those who are affiliated with Dove Fellowship International ministry or Dove affiliated congregations are also considered to be equally libel to these judgments. Larry Kreider is one of the prime perpetrators of this deception, because of his leadership role in the Southeastern PA region and additionally libel for the spiritual damage that he has already inflicted in addition to the spiritual damage that he continues to foster in this Southeastern PA region.
The Lord has conveyed to me that these so-called ministers are going to start dropping like flies, because they exalted themselves in ministry rather than the Lord and thereby permitted the sin of spiritual pride rather than the Righteousness of Christ to rise in their ministries a Righteousness that can only come from the Preaching of the Cross of Christ and His Cross Alone as being pre-imminent in their ministries. It’s a building that has already been set afire… by the Lord Himself! And in His present Judgments the Lord in His unwarranted Mercies is now warning those who are involved to flee... before the house completely burns to ashes.
It’s His desire that none should have to bear His Judgments but rather to flee from them while they can and give back the Glory that is due the Lord and the Lord alone. And Now is the time to flee!
But the Lord knows full well there will be many who in the stubbornness of their own hearts will dig their heels into the ground and not relent from their deceptive ways and will have to bear the consequences of their rebellious hearts. The Lord also showed me that many who are more concerned with outward empty expressions of Evangelical Christianity rather than circumcision of their hearts will bear the consequences of continuing to believe that they are justified in their wayward paths and will prefer believing a lie rather than the cutting truth… "For the prophets (pastors) prophecy (preach) falsely and the priests/ministers rule on their own authority, and My people love it so; but what will you do at the end of it?" ~ Jeremiah 5:31 Even in a Day of Great Judgments believing right to be wrong and wrong to be right, and in so doing will have done nothing more than heaped upon themselves and their following the judgments that are at this very moment sitting in the offing about to be unleashed. All because of believing themselves to be justified in their own ministries rather than in the Lord’s ministry. Only then to discover themselves challenging the Chief Shepherd and the Chief Apostle, Whom they are supposedly representing!
When in fact their hardened hearts will have done nothing more than paved their paths to bearing this judgment on their own outside of the Lord’s reach all due to their own stubbornness and rebellion! This is very serious much more so than most are able to presently recognize, but in due time will readily recognize. For the Righteous Judgments that have already begun to fall, judgments that will only increase in intensity with the simple passing of time are far beyond these misleading ministers minds to imagine… for the Hour in which we presently live is extremely serious, for the time of the Lord’s Return is in fact at hand!

Church as we know it, or church as God's word says for it to be?

Church as we know it, or church as God's word says for it to be?

by Manasseh Zerubbabel Freemen on Friday, October 14, 2011 at 8:56am

It is a fundamental error in organized Christianity, to think of "church" as a gathering of different people, some committed to Christ, and some not.
No. The church, is the people who are already surrendered to Christ.
As the church gathers together privately, the things of God are communicated/ shared with each other; and we are encouraged, edified, instructed, and blessed spending time with each other in a foreign and hostile world.
Church gatherings are private meetings of aliens getting together on earth. That's a big reason why it's not advertised, and it is generally in our homes. (Romans 16:5, and 1Corinthians 16:19, and Colossians 4:15, and Philemon 1:1-2, and Act 16:13, and Acts 2:46, and Acts 5:42)
And yes, there are times when outsiders may be invited; but the church's assembling together, is not an evangelizing venture. It is for the edifying of itself in love. (Ephesians 4:11-16)
The early church confessed their faults to one another, read the Bible, worshipped , prayed, partook of the Lord's supper, and fellowshipped together constantly. They also reproved each other, and basically spent their lives associating with one another, sharing everything they owned.
Those are the things that were important in the first church; and the Bible tells us to earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. So those are also the things that should be important to us now.

The devil has performed a great work of tricking many Christians out of Biblical fellowship. Instead, they have settled for a formal public meeting where music performances and preaching take place. That meeting happens in a "church" building, with a set order of events, where most everything is pre-planned and arranged.
My friends, even if God has mercifully tolerated that "church" format, it is still not Biblical. Let's do His will, instead of just settling for less. We ought to be doers of the Word, and not hearers only.
You do not see the saints buying buildngs meant for church meetings, in the Bible.
You don't find the saints making any contractual agreement with the government at all, in the Bible.
The church is not a non-profit organization, or a business at all, in the Bible.
Instead you see a "grass roots", personal, informal unity of believers, which is miraculously ordered by the Holy Spirit of God, and not by man's logic or organization. Many people don't believe that such a thing is possible.
In the Bible, the church does all get together for private gatherings, but they also continue being the church, and fellowshipping together constantly, even outside of any gatherings.
They didn't even consider their individual possesions to be their own; but instead, they shared everything amongst one another. Most of us Christians in the USA live our own Godly lives, instead of living a Godly life joined together with all others who are the body of Christ.
And in the Bible, the gatherings were consistently in the saints' houses, and they ate a meal together there. So it was very personal, as a family should be. (No overhead, No government affiliations)
Never once do you see the church register with the government, or pay for any "church" building, in the Bible!

So i ask you, What kind of church are you even trying to be? What do you consider the church to be?
Do you believe that it is something out of the Bible, or do you believe in some traditional thing made by man? There is a big difference.
Even many Christians ask the question, "What church do you go to?".
But the church of the Bible is not something you go to. I'm not telling anyone to avoid going to "church" buildings. No, that's not what i'm saying. I'm telling you, in the name of Jesus Christ: Believe the Bible's definition of church, not society's definiton of it.
Heed what God's word says, not what man has tried to make of it.
And if you are born again of the Spirit of God, then you are at liberty to go wherever you want to, even if it is an unBiblical organization; however, you NEED church how the Bible says.
Don't miss out on fellowship and the Spirit of God. You need to get built up on your most holy faith.
You need the things of God in order to do that, not the things of man.
You will not ever walk like Jesus walked, if you hold to the traditions of men.
So even if you do attend a specific "church" building, don't forsake assembling together, the Biblical way. I tell you these things for your good, so that you don't fall, in these last days.

Do you believe in church, like the Bible says?


Please take a look at the following:

• Hebrews 10:24-26,
• Acts 2:41-47,
• Acts 4:31-37,
• 1Peter 4:7-11,
• Ephesians 4:1-16,
• Proverbs 27:17,
• and Ephesians 5:27 & 32

[EXCERPT from a reference book about the original church]
" They did not invite friends to the church gatherings to win them to Christ. The church services were not geared for the unbelievers, but for the saints. The closest we get to evangelism when the church is gathered, is 1Corinthians 14:22-25, which reads in part, 'IF ALL PROPHESY, AND THERE COME IN ONE THAT BELIEVETH NOT, OR one UNLEARNED, HE IS CONVINCED OF ALL ... SO FALLING DOWN ON his FACE HE WILL WORSHIP GOD, AND REPORT THAT GOD IS IN YOU OF A TRUTH.' Paul never tells us to target our church services toward the unbeliever, but if one should enter they should be impressed that God is certainly among you. However, while the emphasis of the church gathered should not be on evangelism, the focus of the church scattered should be. As members of the body of Christ live out their lives in the world, they should always be ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you. (1Peter 3:15) "
[end of EXCERPT]

There is a great need that you read the Bible. That is how you will know what church is right, and what "church" is man's invention instead of God's.
Jesus Christ is not coming back for religious organizations. He's coming to get His church.
Many follow religious traditions while assuming that they're following God's word.
Please don't get rejected by Jesus Christ. Those who call Him "Lord", but don't do what He says, will be rejected by Him.

WARNING: FAMINE COMING UPON THE EARTH SOON....WILL YOU STAND?

VERY SOUND PROPHETIC WORD FROM THE LORD ! THE LORD HAS HAD ME PREACHING THE SAME WORDS ! HEED THIS WARNING PLEASE !

WARNING: FAMINE COMING UPON THE EARTH SOON....WILL YOU STAND?

by Robert Lyte on Friday, July 1, 2011 at 7:16pm

Two famines -- July 01, 2011

Received by sister Christina

A Message from Jesus:
My children, two different famines are coming, that will affect many, famine for food and spiritual famine. Are you prepared? Many are dying daily for lack of food and water others perish spiritually because they don't know Me. It is not My will that anyone perish but all will repent and have eternal Life, but men choose to reject Me the Source of Life.
My children, those who reject Me will perish. I provide for both body and soul. I have repeatedly warned the world to prepare for physical and spiritual famine. Few have taken heed and prepared because they rejected the truth and love lies. They will seek for spiritual food when the famine of food and water strikes them but will not find food for their souls or their bodies because when it was time to be serious to seek Me, they were not interested. I know the intentions of every heart I know who is serious and who is not. Man shall not live from bread alone but every Word that proceeds from My Mouth. They will seek for Me in that day but I will not be found by them. When it was time to be serious and to seek Me, they were not interested, they were busy with their own things.
My children, take heed of My warnings today and prepare yourself. Are you prepared? Nobody else can prepare for you. Ask Me and I will show you what to do. No one else can prepare your soul from a spiritual famine, only you yourself. The spiritual famine will be the worse, many will die without knowing Me, the Source of Life and be damned forever. Provide for your soul. Of what use will it be if you collect perishable food for your body but fail to provide for your soul? I am the only One who is able to cast your soul into hell. Seek Me now, hear My Words and obey Me or you will die of spiritual famine, forever too late. I will not strive with man forever. Are you spiritually prepared?

PREACHING THE TRUE CROSS THAT IS SUPPOSE TO BE ON EVERY DISCIPLE{CHRISTIANS BACK

PREACHING THE TRUE CROSS THAT IS SUPPOSE TO BE ON EVERY DISCIPLE{CHRISTIANS BACK , THIS IS THE LIFE OF CHRIST AND HIS FOLLOWERS WITHOUT DENYING SELF,FLESH,WILL,THE WORLD YOU CAN NOT BE JESUS DISCIPLE PERIOD ! WHERE IS YOUR CROSS YOU WHO CALL YOURSELF HIS CHILD ???

The Lord Shows the Truth

by Robert Lyte on Monday, April 18, 2011 at 1:32am

The Lord shows the truth: Therefore put to death every deed of the flesh within you and pick up your cross and follow me, for no man who is unrighteous will see God. Seek me and you will find me, ask me and i will show you, for the great mysteries of the heavenly cannot be understood by mans understanding.

Open your hearts that i may enlighten you with truth. Put behind you every false way letting my spirit reign within you. For if a man lives after his flesh, is it not written that he shall die? I am the Lord who gave all men life. And it was by me that I gave them life. It was one sin which cut them off from me. Do you think i will allow one sin? I tell you the truth unless you cut sin out you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. Who are you loyal to, Me? or your desires. For don't you know that those who live after their own desires will reap death? For no good thing comes out of the flesh, but those who follow the spirit are the sons of God.

I call you to be separate from this world and its ways, and the ways of the flesh within you. Those who crucify their desires will inherit life. For only those who partake in my suffering, my sacrifice can understand what it means to be saved. For is it not my will that all should go through this baptism of suffering with me, so that they may inherit the Glorious kingdom with me also?

Crucify yourself before me and pick up your cross and follow me, and I will lead you into all paths of righteousness. Do not be like the world which loves its sin and pleasures and is not willing to sacrifice these things for my names sake. But be apart from them for in submission to me are you thus made perfect as I am perfect in my heavenly Father.
 

Leaving All to Follow Christ

(cross ref Matt. 10:34–39 )

Luke 14:25 Now great multitudes went with Him. And He turned and said to them, 26 “If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple. 27 And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple. 28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has enough to finish it— 29 lest, after he has laid the foundation, and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, 30 saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish.’ 31 Or what king, going to make war against another king, does not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand? 32 Or else, while the other is still a great way off, he sends a delegation and asks conditions of peace. 33 So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple.

Matt 10:32-39  32 “Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven. 33 But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven.

Christ Brings Division

(cross ref Luke 12:51–53; 14:26, 27 )

34 “Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. 35 For I have come to ‘set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law’; 36 and ‘a man’s enemies will be those of his own household.’ [fn5] 37 He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. 38 And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. 39 He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it.

Take a break with a song

Counting all Things as Loss

Philippians 3:1-23      All for Christ

1 Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. For me to write the same things to you is not tedious, but for you it is safe.

2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the mutilation! 3 For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, [fn1] rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh, 4 though I also might have confidence in the flesh. If anyone else thinks he may have confidence in the flesh, I more so: 5 circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of the Hebrews; concerning the law, a Pharisee; 6 concerning zeal, persecuting the church; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.

7 But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ. 8 Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ 9 and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith; 10 that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, 11 if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.

Pressing Toward the Goal

12 Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. 13 Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, 14 I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

15 Therefore let us, as many as are mature, have this mind; and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal even this to you. 16 Nevertheless, to the degree that we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, [fn2] let us be of the same mind.

Our Citizenship in Heaven

17 Brethren, join in following my example, and note those who so walk, as you have us for a pattern. 18 For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: 19 whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame—who set their mind on earthly things. 20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, 21 who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself.

IF YOU OUR MESSIAH’s DISCIPLE you will be this ->

Gal 2:20 "I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the [life] which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.

WORDS on the Cross baring Disciple SUFFERING  - >

Phl 3:10 that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death,

Hbr 2:10 For it was fitting for Him, for whom [are] all things and by whom [are] all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

2Ti 1:8 Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner, but share with me in the sufferings for the gospel according to the power of God,

Rom 8:18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy [to be compared] with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

James 1

Profiting from Trials

2 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. 4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. 6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. 7 For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; 8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

The Perspective of Rich and Poor

9 Let the lowly brother glory in his exaltation, 10 but the rich in his humiliation, because as a flower of the field he will pass away. 11 For no sooner has the sun risen with a burning heat than it withers the grass; its flower falls, and its beautiful appearance perishes. So the rich man also will fade away in his pursuits.

Loving God Under Trials

12 Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. 13 Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. 14 But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. 15 Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death.

16 Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren. 17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. 18 Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures.

Qualities Needed in Trials

19 So then, [fn1] my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; 20 for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God.

Doers—Not Hearers Only

21 Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.

22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; 24 for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. 25 But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.

26 If anyone among you [fn2] thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one’s religion is useless. 27 Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.

Jesus Christ Is the Only Foundation Sho

w1 Corinthians 3 Corinthians

5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers through whom you believed, as the Lord gave to each one? 6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase. 7 So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase. 8 Now he who plants and he who waters are one, and each one will receive his own reward according to his own labor.

9 For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, you are God’s building. 10 According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it. 11 For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, 13 each one’s work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is. 14 If anyone’s work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward. 15 If anyone’s work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.

16 Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? 17 If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.

Avoid Worldly Wisdom

18 Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise. 19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, “He catches the wise in their own craftiness”; [fn1] 20 and again, “The LORD knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile.” [fn2] 21 Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours: 22 whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas, or the world or life or death, or things present or things to come—all are yours. 23 And you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.

The Light of Christ’s Gospel

1 Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we do not lose heart. 2 But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, 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. 3 But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, 4 whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them. 5 For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your bondservants for Jesus’ sake. 6 For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

The Cross brings -> Cast Down but Unconquered

7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. 8 We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed— 10 always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body. 11 For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. 12 So then death is working in us, but life in you.

13 And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, “I believed and therefore I spoke,” [fn1] we also believe and therefore speak, 14 knowing that He who raised up the Lord Jesus will also raise us up with Jesus, and will present us with you. 15 For all things are for your sakes, that grace, having spread through the many, may cause thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.

Seeing the Invisible

16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. 17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, 18 while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

A Walk in the wilderness and dying to self and the body of sin ,and living by The SPIRIT ,

Romans - Chapter 6   Dead to Sin, Alive to God

1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? 2 Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? 3 Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

5 For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection, 6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin. 7 For he who has died has been freed from sin. 8 Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, 9 knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him. 10 For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. 11 Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts. 13 And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. 14 For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.

From Slaves of Sin to Slaves of God

15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not! 16 Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness? 17 But God be thanked that though you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine to which you were delivered. 18 And having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness. 19 I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves of uncleanness, and of lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves of righteousness for holiness. 20 For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. 21 What fruit did you have then in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. 22 But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life. 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans - Chapter 7

4 Therefore, my brethren, you also have become dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you may be married to another—to Him who was raised from the dead, that we should bear fruit to God. 5 For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were aroused by the law were at work in our members to bear fruit to death. 6 But now we have been delivered from the law, having died to what we were held by, so that we should serve in the newness of the Spirit and not in the oldness of the letter.

Sin’s Advantage in the Law

7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! On the contrary, I would not have known sin except through the law. For I would not have known covetousness unless the law had said, “You shall not covet.” [fn1] 8 But sin, taking opportunity by the commandment, produced in me all manner of evil desire. For apart from the law sin was dead. 9 I was alive once without the law, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died. 10 And the commandment, which was to bring life, I found to bring death. 11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it killed me. 12 Therefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy and just and good.

Law Cannot Save from Sin

13 Has then what is good become death to me? Certainly not! But sin, that it might appear sin, was producing death in me through what is good, so that sin through the commandment might become exceedingly sinful. 14 For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold under sin. 15 For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do. 16 If, then, I do what I will not to do, I agree with the law that it is good. 17 But now, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. 18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find. 19 For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice. 20 Now if I do what I will not to do, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me.

21 I find then a law, that evil is present with me, the one who wills to do good. 22 For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man. 23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. 24 O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? 25 I thank God—through Jesus Christ our Lord!

So then, with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.

Romans - Chapter 8

Free from Indwelling Sin

1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, [fn1] who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, 4 that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. 5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. 6 For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. 8 So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. 10 And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.

Sonship Through the Spirit

12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. 13 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. 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” 16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.

From Suffering to Glory

18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. 19 For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. 20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope; 21 because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now. 23 Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body. 24 For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees? 25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.

26 Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us [fn2] with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27 Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. 29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.

God’s Everlasting Love

31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? 33 Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. 34 Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written:

​​“For Your sake we are killed all day long;

​​We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.” [fn3]

​37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. 38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

The circumstances  Jesus said would follow those who have counted the cost of being His disciple , a walk with the cross dying to self ,

Paul learned suffering by his cross –

Act 9:15 But the Lord said to him, "Go, for he is a chosen vessel of Mine to bear My name before Gentiles, kings, and the children of Israel. Act 9:16 "For I will show him how many things he must suffer for My name's sake."

The cross will bring sufferings” Jesus said these things happen as He uses you in ministry will happen

2Ti 3:12 Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.

1Pe 4:13 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.

Phl 3:10 that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, Col 1:24 I now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up in my flesh what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ, for the sake of His body, which is the church,

Matthew 10

Sending Out the Twelve

(Mark 6:7–13; Luke 9:1–6 )

5 These twelve Jesus sent out and commanded them, saying: “Do not go into the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter a city of the Samaritans. 6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7 And as you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ 8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, [fn3] cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give. 9 Provide neither gold nor silver nor copper in your money belts, 10 nor bag for your journey, nor two tunics, nor sandals, nor staffs; for a worker is worthy of his food.

11 “Now whatever city or town you enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and stay there till you go out. 12 And when you go into a household, greet it. 13 If the household is worthy, let your peace come upon it. But if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you. 14 And whoever will not receive you nor hear your words, when you depart from that house or city, shake off the dust from your feet. 15 Assuredly, I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!

Persecutions Are Coming

(Mark 13:9–13; Luke 21:12–17 )

16 “Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves. 17 But beware of men, for they will deliver you up to councils and scourge you in their synagogues. 18 You will be brought before governors and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them and to the Gentiles. 19 But when they deliver you up, do not worry about how or what you should speak. For it will be given to you in that hour what you should speak; 20 for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.

21 “Now brother will deliver up brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death. 22 And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved. 23 When they persecute you in this city, flee to another. For assuredly, I say to you, you will not have gone through the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes.

24 “A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master. 25 It is enough for a disciple that he be like his teacher, and a servant like his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, [fn4] how much more will they call those of his household! 26 Therefore do not fear them. For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known.

Jesus Teaches the Fear of God

(Luke 12:3–7 )

27 “Whatever I tell you in the dark, speak in the light; and what you hear in the ear, preach on the housetops. 28 And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. 29 Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will. 30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.

Confess Christ Before Men

(Luke 12:8, 9 )

32 “Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven. 33 But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven.

Christ Brings Division

(Luke 12:51–53; 14:26, 27 )

34 “Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. 35 For I have come to ‘set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law’; 36 and ‘a man’s enemies will be those of his own household.’ [fn5] 37 He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. 38 And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. 39 He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it.

A Cup of Cold Water

(Mark 9:41 )

40 “He who receives you receives Me, and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me. 41 He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward. And he who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward. 42 And whoever gives one of these little ones only a cup of cold water in the name of a disciple, assuredly, I say to you, he shall by no means lose his reward.”

Mat 5:10 Blessed [are] those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Mat 5:11 "Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Mat 5:12 "Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great [is] your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you
