JESUS SAID THIS MORNING THAT MANY ARE RUNNING IN VAIN AND IT ECHOED CONTINUOUSLY‼
John 3:16-21 KJV
[16] For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. [17] For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. [18] He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. [19] And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. [20] For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. [21] But he that doeth truth cometh to the light that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.”
This is a very serious statement coming from the bible that men love darkness rather than light because their deeds are evil. It is one of the heaviest statement in the entire bible. When you see people attacking the truth remember this scripture. Think about what will make one to love darkness more than light. In that darkness there’s nothing good. Even when there is darkness physically, how do you feel? Now, don’t forget the reason the bible gave why they love darkness instead of light. It says it’s because there deed are evil. Anyone you see contending against the truth has an evil heart and it’s of the devil knowingly or unknowingly.
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life. This is the entire Gospel in a nutshell. Here you see the undesirable and unconditional love of God. You also see the issue of Heaven and hellfire. He that believes shall not perish. In other words shall not spend eternity in hellfire but in Heaven. So the crux of the matter is repent or perish. You are a deceiver of yourself if you claim to believe in Christ and still love the sin He died for.
When you see people who hate to be reproved you see candidates of hellfire. Anyone who does evil hates Jesus who is the light. You cannot love darkness and escape eternal damnation. Follow the revelation of the scripture to paint the future you desire in eternity. Jesus came to save the world and not to condemn the world. But the choice is yours either to walk away from salvation to damnation. You can be singing and dancing to hell right inside the church. You can be preaching to hellfire standing behind the pulpit as a general overseer or apostle. You can be prophesying to hellfire not Heaven, you can be teaching to hell as a teacher.
The deceit of making people think that the love of God is meant for them to live like hell and end in Heaven is from the pit of hellfire. This must be corrected. Sinful living is a rejection and walking away from the love of God. That doesn’t mean God doesn’t still love you. God is love and cannot change from loving you but that doesn’t over rule your decision to end in hellfire by living in sin. When the prodigal son left his father’s house, it was by choice and the father respected his will. At the far country, sinful living reduced him to a pig. Yes, he was eating with pigs so was a pig. A sinner whether in the church or outside the church is a correct swine. But the father of the prodigal son still loved him. While he was clubbing and wasting himself with prostitutes in ‘freedom’ thinking it is freedom, the father’s love for him was still intact but he was not under it.
God’s love is everlasting. God still loves every soul in hellfire now. My pastor friend I saw in hell cried a cry that made Jesus shed tears of blood. He said, “Will you leave me here forever? Beg Jesus your friend to give me just one more chance.” Still Jesus in His tears left him there, held my hand and walked away. That is the last thing Jesus would want to do but in eternity everything is fixed and cannot be changed. God’s love can’t help you if you step into eternity without reconciliation with Christ.
The prodigal son came to his senses which means he repented. Returning of a sinner or backslider is the only thing that makes God run and Heaven rejoice. The father of the prodigal son who have been praying for his return was waiting outside and ran after him. He was anticipating and expecting his repentance. It is not the will of God for any to perish. God’s love is so great. That is why He gives genuine revelations we share to bring sinners back to their senses.
To think that the love of God covers you to continue in wilful sin is the same with continuing in sin and expect grace to abound. Any preacher or teacher not snatching souls from hell through Christ and His finished work on the Cross now in this critical hour has no message from God and don’t know His heartbeat. What are you preaching if not Christ and Him crucified. Motivational speaking is done by the world. Seminar on how to make it is taught by the world. How many preachers heal more than doctors and churches are lockdown while hospitals are open?
Business sense and success philosophies and conferences are organized by the world too. The only thing they cannot do is to preach to depopulate hell and populate Heaven. They cannot heal souls. It is the exclusive work of the Body of Christ. Of course these other things are additional but preaching Christ and His Kingdom with sole aim of saving souls is supreme. This is lost by modern days preachers and churches.
Brethren, I have lived in sin full time and knows about sin and the deceitful nature. A sinner always look for excuse and where to hide or what to use for cover. Should God’s love make you to hate sin or love sin which God hate and Christ died for? If you are true, you will know that because someone loves you is enough for you not to ever hurt or disappoint the person.
The Bible says: Romans 2:4-11 KJV.
[4] Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance? [5] But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God; [6] Who will render to every man according to his deeds: [7] To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life: [8] But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, [9] Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile; [10] But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile: [11] For there is no respect of persons with God.”
Goodness or love of God leads to repentance or forsaking of sin. If not you are deceiving yourself. To know the love God showed you by punishing His only innocent Son to death for your sake will make you tell satan and sin it is over. If that is not the case, you are still in the far country and don’t yet understand God’s love. While we were yet sinners Christ died for us to redeem us out of sin and the consequences which are so many.
1 John 4:13-21 KJV
[13] Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. [14] And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. [15] Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. [16] And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. [17] Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. [18] There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. [19] We love him, because he first loved us. [20] If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? [21] And this commandment have we from him, that he who loveth God love his brother also.”
The greatest love you can give anybody is truth because only truth sets free. The greatest blessing you can give anybody is truth because without it the person is cursed. If I do not warn you against sin that will bring you eternal damnation, I don’t love you no matter whatever I do for you.
Perfect love casts out fear. When you truly know the love of God you will never fear hellfire or missing rapture. Some people are controlled by fear of missing rapture and hellfire. That is not perfect love.
Knowing God’s perfect love makes you fall in love with God and when you do you begin to hate sin. A sinner must fear hellfire and missing of the rapture which leads to facing the great tribulation. To experience the great tribulation is better described as 7 years of hellfire on earth. This will be under the unbearable torments of the antichrist whose agents are already in our midst and in churches according to the scriptures. The antichrists and the antichrist spirit are already with you even preaching and teaching.
1 John 2:18-22 KJV
[18] Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. [19] They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us. [20] But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things. [21] I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth. [22] Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist that denieth the Father and the Son.”
Anyone that does notin word and in action subject to the Lordship of Jesus is an antichrist.
Antichrists are in the churches preaching the gospel of deceit that will have half-truth. Half-truth is more dangerous than a blatant lie because it will confuse you.
1 John 4:3,5-6 KJV
[3] And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. [5] They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. [6] We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.”
Antichrists will use the love and grace of God to deceive you into living as you like. Some will use mammon and materialistic gospel, prophecy, miracles and those things people run after instead of Christ to package people for hellfire while still calling the name of Jesus and using the word of God. That is the danger. They will even preach the coming of Christ and holiness including repentance if necessary but will poison the message somewhere that you will not know. The spirit in them is that of antichrist. That is why you are asked to test the spirits.
1 John 4:1 KJV
[1] Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
If you are careful in the Spirit you will notice that the Lordship of Jesus is not there. Some will be projecting themselves instead of Christ. John the Baptist said I must decrease and He must increase. Anywhere you see self-projection, miracle projection, prophecy projection, materialism projection, dos and don’ts projection and not Christ and Him crucified projection, run for your life. Wherever the object of faith is not Christ finished work is a suspect. Wherever sin and worldliness are pampered, escape for your life. Real holiness is the Christ in you whose works are seen outside. True holiness is inside out. Salvation is a free gift but has its fruits which if not there it is starvation.
With the present situation of things which have never been since the history of this world, examine if you are in the faith. It will be terrible to run in vain. The Lord woke me up this morning to warn that many are running in vain. When He said it, it echoed time and time over. Be careful with these messages circulating and everyone claiming it is from the Lord. Remember you will not be spared for promoting ignorance. Beware of what you share. Some people never saw anything or heard from Jesus or God but want relevance showing the devil is using them. Self-projection is evil.
There are those who are busy increasing confusion because they know that many people are ignorant and are not filled with the Holy Spirit. If you fear coronavirus you have never known Christ and Heaven is ashamed of you. If the Living Jesus lives in you, focus on Him as He said. Believe that “it is finished” means it is finished not it is foolish. You don’t have anything to fear in Christ. To die is gain to live is Christ. No hair can fall from your head without God’s notice. Do the right things as well the precautions but remember you are dead and your life is hidden with Christ in God. Don’t be like the world. The love of God is perfect and casts out fear.
God cannot allow anything you cannot handle to come to you. Be assured that the Living Jesus who said He will be with you always till the end of time is bigger than any fear or whatever situation that might rise. Always remember you are the beloved of the Lord that this situation now has come and will pass but you will be there to tell the story of how you overcame. It is already a thing of the past because God saw it coming and Christ nailed it on the Cross. Repent from every sin.
With the world shutdown and lockdown, churches shutdown and lockdown, Heaven is still open and the trumpet can call us home anytime. These are all signs of the end-time as foretold. It doesn’t matter how things look, Jesus said look up for your redemption draws near. Fear is your enemy to be watched against in a time such as this in which the heart of many are failing them. You can see thousands falling on every side even the mighty but rely on the Greater One in you as a believer who have nothing to lose. Only God’s Will shall prevail over you and His will is to give you an expected end. We shall see the end and testify that the Lord is good and nothing can separate us from His love.
The love and grace of God will not fail over us. There is the other side after every storm see it in advance, look beyond now. Faith is the wing of grace and glory. Fear is not of God and have torments. Step up your spiritual life, pray without ceasing and fill your heart with God’s word always. Be careful with what you listen to. Share Jesus not coronavirus and the bad news spreading everywhere. It is extra very important now to be in the Spirit. I prophesy to you that you will tell the story of victory in Living Jesus name.
In all these things we are more than conquerors through the love of God in Christ Jesus. You are at home to put things right with God. I will not forget to remind you what Jesus said this morning that many are running in vain. Are you one of them??? Pray for one another and show love. Remain blessed and rapturous. I must see you in Heaven. Happy Sunday❤ Shalom! MARANATHA!!
