My Lord:
Made free? Then you ABIDE in that freedom. "IF", it is always "IF" you have received the Truth, "IF" your eyes are truly opened, then you know it, you need not me or any man to tell you that you have received it, for you will be ABIDING IN IT (you will speak of it, not ask others). The Christian life is not what they say it is, it is obedience absolutely, for it is freedom without question absolutely. It is now, the very moment one receives the Truth. This is how so many become entangled by them, this sad thing called "church" by denominations and names of men, when it is "people" not buildings to maintain, the called out ones Ekklesia. Some only think they have received and the very few who have received are called off the Rock right out of the gate with the many provisions that the so called professed have created in their own strong delusions built up by provisions, by provisional salvation, idols worship, creation worship, imagination. Trusting in the wisdom of men and not the Lord.
Repentance, what must I do? Seek, Repent, Sin No More, walk through the Gate, make straight the Way. Confess and forsake. Be separate from them. The vehement desire to change. Moral fortitude, moral rectitude, moral reform, uprightness, equity. Become meet/worthy of the Masters use, you prepare your heart, fallow the ground and make it ready to receive the engrafted word. You prepare the heart, broken, contrite, lowly, had enough of the lies, sin? With meekness, READINESS, prepared to receive the Word that will save your souls.
Have "you" prepared your heart? Not a mind change, Repent is so much more, but a change much deeper from the heart? If you believe with "all" your heart you may.
James 1:21, " Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. "
Vehement - deeply felt, ardent, very eager, fervent, powerful.
Blepo - to know by experience, able to see, have seen it, watching, sight, discern, ability, To Have, Power, having something and showing the power of that something, to consider, to study, to examine, to affirm, to weigh, to count the cost, to understand, to know by seeing, to turn to, to face.
It is awful this day to know that so many are lied to, have no understanding, listen to preachers "so called" who have not a drop of the Truth in them. Have never known the Spirit of God, have not known repentance, have never understood the rebirth, the born again state through the quickening Spirit of God. Have not been crucified with Christ and produce not the fruit that is ABSOLUTELY found in them that have Repented from the heart and God has given them repentance. That they now live after the Spirit and not the flesh. That the old passions are no more, but the vehement desire is to no longer produce the fruit of the old man but walking in the newness of life producing fruit of that new life that looks like nothing ALL of them preach, teach, sell, offer as the Truth but is not the Truth. How many times have I heard that one is saved and then hear that saved person confess to all the sins unto death they serve without fear? If one has received they would speak of the quickening Spirit they had received without question. So why do so many ask if they have received it? Why would anyone think they needed someone else to tell them they had received it? Who thinks in the rebirth, that they would miss that that moment and need to ask others if they have it? How many times have I heard this, "I did not know I was saved until this person told me I was"? Then they go back to the sins unto death secured by a strong delusion because someone told them they had something they have not. If one has had the breathe of Life breathed into them, that person could not possibly ask anyone if it had happened, they would be to busy telling about it happening.
It is not sin repeat confess, forsake, sin repeat confess repeat, and some how "growing" from this utterly foolish pattern that is of the flesh and has not one thing to do with the Truth, with the Spirit of God being in them. Being made better, stronger through sin? What a foul creation and yet many truly believe this and sell it. Having been lied to from the beginning they have no idea the true nature of the Spirit of Power received in the planting of them with Christ. Raised in the likeness of Christ. The INSTANT ability to Go and Sin No More. The INSTANT freedom, liberty, ability, that the many try to steal right out of the Gate. The doubt they INSTANTLY try to plant into anyone who truly receives the Truth. I can not say it enough, you can do all things through Christ, "BUT" cease from sin, "BUT" obey from the heart, "BUT" keep the Commandments. Seeds of doubt mixed with the absolute fact that with Christ you can do anything, bear it, endure it, stand fast, hold fast, dig deep, run, strive, affirm, study, watch, wait, be ready, prepare, work it out, fight, be strong, to be like men 1 Corinthians 16:13, be strong in the faith, watching, unmovable, firm, absolute, by faith which is obedience, to be faithfully obedient unto death. For many have crept in to subvert the Truth, to supply the many provisions that so many love, speak well of, preach to me lies, joining themselves with them, when they ought to withdrawal, avoid and flee from them. Lulled to sleep by placations, to be placated, amused, entertained, told the wicked are righteous and that there are none that are righteous, no not even one. Permitted to walk in the flesh and the sins unto death, given excuses for why the can not obey, will not obey, have not to obey. I have warned you night and day for three years that this would happen, I have cried night and day for this will, has, is happening. You are the church, you are the temple, you are the tabernacle, it did not come to anyone in words, but in power. Christ in you, not a place, not a name, not in there or even over there, but right here, you! Do not go over there, do not look in there, there is no where to go, He is right here, always right here.
Again when this truly happens to someone they will be hit from every side with all the filthy lies offered by the likes of "so called" churches, "so called" preachers, "so called" teachers, the Truth will be hidden by them. They who only pretend to know, pretend to understand, pretend to be rich in the wisdom found only in Christ, the only Way to the Truth to have Life. Hit with the lies about the old man always dying to sin daily, foolishness, utter nonsense. The lies of the flesh and the spirit being contrary to one another and never being "able" to do what is right. Being placed in the mold of them who sell inability, you will hear all about the sin repent, sin repent, sin repent forever stuck state of man, which is true ONLY in the flesh. A state that has nothing to do with the Spirit of God, the Spirit of Power, the ability to go and OBEY from the heart the doctrine received of God.
Truly woe to them that turn people from the Truth unto the many lies that shut up the Way to them trying to enter in. Woe to them that only pretend to know the literal event of being born again and having a new heart. It is not imagined, it is not something one will ever need ask anyone if it has happened, and you can hear, find, this taking place everywhere. People asking if they have received the Truth, the new heart, the new man, have they been born again in the newness of life in Christ? When if it had happened, you would not be asking anyone if it had, you would be telling all how it did! There is a clear and self evident difference from them that pretend, who have been lied to and bought the lie, from them who truly have received the Truth and been truly born again in the newness of life who can not cease to speak about it but no one wants to listen because who wants to find out they have been lied to and worse, that they lie to themselves and have never known the Truth. More frighting yet, is that question so many pose, "what if they had it and have forsaken it"? This is awful and I understand the terror such a Truth could have upon anyone.
In fear which the Spirit does not give, many ignore the question each time they trip on it and keep pretending they have received or ask others to confirm that they have. When they get someone to lie to them that they certainly have received it they latch unto the person for reinforcing the lie, (did you repeat the sinners prayer? did you say you believed? is Christ your Lord?). For how could anyone know if one had received and lost it, or have received and is being carried off from it, when they themselves never had it? How can someone give to you what they themselves have never had or walked away from? It is not easy to tell anyone they are not saved, they have not received, they have no relationship, they are not in the faith that works by love and is proven by deeds. It does not feel good to tell people when I was dead and heard from the Lord, that "NONE" knew Him. It is not easy to bear the Truth, to see the fear in there eyes, the terror. This is why it says to not fear their terror, but to be not silent and speak. (Compared to sin, it is a light thing to bear).. This is why they who have known the Truth are told by God to fear them not and speak. They have to know, they have to be warned, they follow liars, wolves, and that these liars and wolves have crept in unawares and have led many off unto themselves to be devoured by them.
Warn them, speak and be not silent. Do not be afraid of the lies, all the arrows of doubt they shot at everyone. The arrow of sin nature, the arrow of license to sin, the arrow of doubt, the arrow of born to sin, the arrow of just believe, the arrow of all done for you, the arrow of freedom, liberty in sin as they serve corruption. The arrow of unconditional love when there is nothing but conditions. The arrow of moral depravity, total depravity. The arrow of once saved always saved. The arrow of judge not. The arrow of always a filthy rag, wretched chief of sinners. The arrow of being loved just they way you are. The arrow of not of works when you will be judge for your works. The arrow of moral transfer, you have the righteousness of Christ even though you do not the righteousness of Christ. The arrow of substitution, rather that Christ being the righteous example. The arrow of when God looks at you He only sees Christ. The filthy vile arrow of it is not what we do but what has been done. The arrow of legalistic, they love to shot all of these arrows and so many more. Be like men, do not be moved by them, not the terror in their faces when they hear the Truth. Be not silent, but warn them, show them that sins. You be able, you show forth the Truth, the light, and give no one the ammo, the arrows to shot at you by being weak and being false. If you say lie not, lie not. As you say, SO DO! The LAW of Liberty, if you are free, then act as a freeman and do what you could not of done when in bondage, when you did not have sight (blepo). When you spoke but did not do what you spoke. When you swore and not you swear not at all. When you walked in the lust of the flesh and served yourself but now you do this not. The free gift that Christ gives, His life, and the will that contains the cost of it. Be ye not ignorant of the Truth, do not let anyone tell you, go and take it up, it is not a private matter, it is for all to see. What good does it do if you bury it, if you do not increase the Lord you will be cast out. Do not be deceived and deceive not yourselves.
Psalms 91:5, " Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; "
James 2:12, " So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty. "
What could I write that would wake them more so then what has already been written? All the disciples have made it clear but no one is heeding the warnings, caught up in fake churches, that serve the flesh and have no Spirit in them. The dead, the blind leading the blind into the same ditch, the same broad way unto hell. If feels good to go to these fake houses of God and sing about things they are not being shown through the Spirit of God. I have heard their lies, I have written of it over and over trying to tell of them. I was told all the same lies, offered all the provisions they make and sell. Everyone around me who called themselves Christians tried to lead me down the same broad path they are on. From sin nature, to never being able, to born to sin, to license to sin, to liberty in sin, to freedom even though they serve corruption, ever word of the book of the Lord has been proven time and time again to be fact. As this keeps happening, it makes one stronger in the Truth, more bold to speak the Truth, as Paul said because of his bonds, they are more bold to speak. What were the bonds of Paul? Faithful obedience unto death even. Speaking and so doing. It surely was not liberty to commit the sins unto death and have life. It surely was not failure and dying to sin daily, sin confess repeat model sold by the professed.
Philippians 1:14, " And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear. "
What did they fear to speak? The Truth. Why did they fear to speak the Truth? Seeing the terror in them by being told the Truth, the pain it causes to see other lost in the fear this world offers as the Truth, but is not the Truth. What made Felix tremble? When the Truth was spoken to him, and the foolish provision clung to were removed by the Truth. And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come! If you do not do righteousness you are not righteous, if you walk in lies you are a lie. Because you confess with words the Truth does not make you of the Truth. If you do not possess self control then you are a city without walls. You can not defend your house and it will not be defended for you. You must stand fast and bring your body into subjection, you must rule over it as God hath told Cain. You must do the works worthy of repentance. You will be judged for it, for judgement comes quickly, despite so many comfortable in their sins unto death. Despite the provisions so many placate each other with, you will die in your sins. It is sin unto death or OBEDIENCE unto righteousness. The Truth made Felix tremble and it does the same to all who have it not. All who think they are in the service but realize they are not. The reason one must love correction, love judgement, love mercy, love being faithful unto death even. Love to be searched out, love to find anything in them that ought not be and purge it from them. If there be anything O Lord, show it to me and I will let it go, wash my hands of it.
Not the fear of death, to be stoned for speaking, but the hurt, the pain found in them. Not just to be hated by them you care for, but to cause them pain, even though it would be the greatest expression of love one can show. More love then they had ever known, to utterly slay them with the Truth. You are going to hell if you continue down this path that is broad in its way, there be many who find this way and few who find the Way of the Truth to have Life. It is not easy to look into the eyes of your father and know he knows the Truth not. It is not easy to look into the eyes of ones mother and know she knows the Truth not. It is not easy to look into the eyes of ones husband and know he knows the Truth not. It is not easy to look into the eyes of ones wife and know she knows the Truth not. It is not easy to look into the eyes of ones child and know they know the Truth not. It is not easy to slay them all utterly and spare none. You see the terror that is in them, the eyes truly are the window to the soul and I have spoken of the fear I saw in them that the Spirit showed me had devils in them. The eyes that went solid black, and not just a fear I had never known before, a terror that I never witnessed before, but also an anger, and a glee. At times all of this is a bit much for me, to have been given so much and to see so many walk down the foolish path offered by them "so called" who profess the faith to be nothing but repeating some words. It is not easy to look back upon my old man and then tell others who are so certain they know Christ, that they clearly know Him not, knowing what I was, knowing that many of them see the old man that I was. Who am I to tell anyone they are on the Path to death and hell, when they see me as on the same path?
I recall the Spirit of God telling my own mother she would have to forgive to be forgiven and she was so proud, so high minded, that she would do no such thing. The Spirit saying to her that she would "have" to. The devil that appeared in my step father who heard the rebuke and came to defend her in her lost state. I have written of this and it is not easy even now to express this absolute fact. I lived this, I witnessed it with my own eyes and heard with my own ears (blepo), I made none of it up, I surely did not give this to myself, nor would I have ever wanted such a thing to be true, but the Truth is the Truth regardless of the wants of the flesh. The Spirit in me silenced the devil in my step father and the conversation with my mother continued. It was not easy to be in myself and have something else speak and to sit there and witness it. It was not easy to understand what was going on for it was all new to me. It is was not easy to know my mother did not know the Truth as she believed she did. AGAIN, who was I to speak to anyone about their salvation, even though at that moment it was not me speaking. Who can imagine honestly what it was like to have the Spirit of God speaking out of you and you were nothing more than a third party in the conversation who spoke not at all? I am not looking for pity, I want understanding, see my bonds that bind me. Imagine the weight that comes with this? Imagine trying to work all of this out with no one to help you understand what was going on, and you thought that the flesh could help you, but it only made things worse? That the only help offered by others was hatred of the Truth, or complete lack of understanding of the Truth? Imagine those whom you thought would be your greatest help, turned out to be your worst enemy. Truly I beg of anyone who might read this to weigh the weight of such Truth. The book of the Lord speaks of this very Truth perfectly. Who can say they literally have lived scripture verbatim, word for word over and over again? Who have lived it as I know it and struggled not to understand what was taking place? Mainly because all their lives they heard the same foul vile lies all their lives offered by the so called establishment that calls itself the church of God. The very same thing that Christ rebuked the Pharisees for, was still alive and well, thriving in fact this very day, even now it is, as I type?
Who considers the Truth of it all (blepo), who truly is standing in that "gap" before God and is pleading with all for the Truth? Who tells you they are "all" liars, thieves, robbers, murders, whom are killing you, robbing you, lying to you about the Way to the Truth to have Life in Christ? That it is not as they say? Who thinks it is easy, that there is not a burden, a weight to bear for it. Who thinks there is no cost and that anyone like me does not know the cost perfectly? Who does not truly know the "cost" is everything? That all that is in the world is but dung truly (the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life), that all thine heart is the Lords and that for this, you will lose it all, they will hate you, they will placate you, they will pretend for you? The cost is all, and then you will hear them who say that ones "all" is not even needed! How much this hurts and weighs on you, how sad it makes you to hear them speak lies and see others buy their lies. How much cost there is to know the Truth not in pretense? As the many know it in pretense only! Know it by the wisdom of men.
I am not special, I am nobody, whom am I to tell anyone the Truth? I have no answer for that, God chooses whom He chooses. This answer I found few like. But written it is, so it is, the Truth is the Truth even when one likes it not. Paul cried night and day for the space of three years warning about the same thing. I have become a broken record, repeating the same thing for six years. Although in the first year I didn't write much I spoke a lot as I tried to come to grips with what was taking place in my life. To wrap my mind around an entire other reality that I had no idea existed. The reason even now I can say " are you sure Lord, that you want me to tell about You?" Of all the Lord had to chose from, I am the foolish thing, the weak thing, I am the base thing, a thing despised, a thing which are not! If there was any ego in me, this Truth will knock that out of anyone, or at least I imagine it would. Who in the world goes about professing they are foolish, weak, base, despised and are for not? There is a cost shown plainly right there, just one of many Amen.
Broken record,
Acts 20:31, " Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears. "
1 Corinthians 1:27, " But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
1 Corinthians 1:28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: "
The liberty found in Christ, you are free from the affections and the lust of the flesh and yet watch them all pretend to know the Truth and show no fruit of the Spirit. Always the inability, always the old man alive and well. The same warning again and again, they who are in the so called church being led by the so called professed are not whom they say they are. Paul cried for three years night and day, if that does not put some emphasis upon the severity of the situation that is right now the Truth, then what good are my tears now for six years? How much greater a warning could be written to get them to watch and remember? Grievous wolves not sparing the flock, OF YOUR OWN SELVES MEN SHALL ARISE, speaking perverse things to draw away disciples unto themselves. I want no one to follow me, but to follow me as I follow Christ, not me, but Christ and not any other. I ask for nothing, I have no plate to pass, I want not likes, I want faithful obedience for them that truly love the Truth. I desire perfection and I hope the same for anyone who loveth the Lord.
One would think that one would listen to what they "ALL" say and then truly question it, is this the Way to the Truth to have Life? Is this really a man chosen by God to express the Truth? Have I been fooled, tricked, beguiled by some man that only thinks he knows the Truth? Have I truly with vehement desire from the heart Repented and been given repentance, born again, received the new heart as promised or have I just lied to myself, deceived myself, bought lies and reap those lies unto myself? Whom have I been led by? whom have I leaned upon? Whom have I trusted in? Whom have I cast all my cares upon? Am I really, truly in the faith that works by love and is proven by deeds, in the Truth? Can I give an answer? Can I speak of what faith truly is? Can I teach grace because I know the Grace of God Almighty? Do I work out my own salvation or do allow others to work it out for me? Am I a soldier at war? Do I truly love the Truth? Do I desire the fruits that come with faithful obedience to the Truth? Have I counted the cost and can clearly speak of it? Can I tell anyone the will of God? What does God desire? So many more things could be put here to question, do I affirm constantly that I am in the faith which works by love and is proven by deeds/works.
When one reads Romans 6, do they hear the Power of the Spirit or is it the dying daily to sin foolishness that the Word speaks about the "OLD MAN"? Does one continue in sin? Have you bought the sin confess weekly routine of the catholics? How about the sin repent, sin repent of the protestants? Am I truly in the faith of Christ? The one in which Romans 6 speak so very clear of? Or do I just love the names that men use to allure through the lust of the flesh?
Romans 6:1, " What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
Romans 6:2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
Romans 6:3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
Romans 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
Romans 6:5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
We do not serve sin, for they who sin are servants to sin. Have you not read that to whom ye yield you are servants to? We walk in the newness of Life in Christ, now, not tomorrow, not next week or month or year, but now we are born again and have a new heart. When one is born again, it is not a constant work to be that born again it is being born again right then and there. Not dying daily to the ins unto death, but dead to them and the new man is alive now, not tomorrow. One is not made stronger in falling down all the time, but by standing up all the time against the sins unto death. It is not a forever walk trying to stop sinning the sins unto death, this is not blind faith, this is just being blind. This is not growing you, sin does not grow it kills, steals and destroys. The walk is wisdom, knowledge and understanding, to find the treasure by searching for it, fighting for it and not be moved from it. The walk is daily facing death by all the arrows of lies being shot at you and being not moved by them, in this one is made strong and grows. This is the walk, this is what grows you, they who regard the Truth and obey it, not they who confess they are always a filthy rag but yet saved by grace. That is delusional, one can nor be born again each day, it is ONCE and then they walk in the newness of that life or they do not.
AGAIN "IF" you are not pretending to have been planted in the likeness of Christs death. "IF" you are not deceiving yourself. "IF" you truly have had the vehement desire from the heart to walk in a new life, broken and contrite, Repenting from the heart, for yes you may if you believe with what? ALL YOUR HEART! Now we died once for sin and have fulfilled the righteous requirements of the Law, which said the wage of sin is death. You have to be born again or you will never enter into the the Kingdom of God. This is absolute fact of the Law. Now being crucified, planted with Christ we are no longer under the Law that stated we must die for our sins past, but under grace. This is the LAW WHICH THEY WHO HAVE CRUCIFIED THE FLESH WITH CHRIST ARE NOT UNDER, THE SACRIFICE OF THE FLESH, THE MUTILATION, THE CIRCUMCISION, FOR THEY WHO HAVE BEEN TAUGHT THE TRUTH HAVE NO NEED OF THE SCHOOLMASTER, THE LAW, for they walk in the Truth of it and obey it from the heart out of love, having acknowledged the whole Truth. The teaching that grace gives to them that have it is how to live, how to walk in the newness of Life in Christ. Rather not in that the foolishness of sin confess repeat, sin repent repeat. One has been taught that we walk not in the flesh but in the Spirit. The Spirit does not serve sin, it serves Life. "We" do it, not someone else, but "We" DENY ungodliness and worldly lusts and "We" live soberly, righteously and godly lives right NOW. Not tomorrow, not next week, not next month, not next year and we surely do not die daily to sinning the sins unto death. Yes one will make mistakes in judgement as they learn to walk in the Truth but they will not go back to the sins unto death. The sin confess repeat model is a aberration of man, is a provision created by men to serve the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life. It serves them that are frightened by the terror in them when one is told they are not servants of Christ but their own lust through the flesh. People love you when you lie to them, placate them, we are taught this from a little child, to lie to each other, to make each feel good, pleasant and desired. They love the false, they speak well of the false, as long as the Truth is not spoken. For in sin you are going to die the true death, it is sin unto death or obedience unto righteousness and there is not any other way. You who died with Christ do not serve sin by a choice, not irresistible, but by free will choice having tasted of the the Truth. He is gracious indeed and they of Him know it. Nothing can remove you from it, but "YOU"! The born again DO NOT serve sin, plain and simple, they not of the Truth gladly make provisions to serve sin and magically be forgiven past, present and future no matter what they do. They love this provision and love them that sell this literal license to sin.
Romans 6:6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
It does not say freed to sin, it says freed from sin, dead to it Dead to the what? The affections and the lusts, you do not serve this. It does not go away, the flesh remains, but you walk in the Spirit and not the flesh. This Truth is repeated over and over in many ways trying to get the point across. You are free to walk in the flesh and serve no matter what. You are once free for sin and able to walk in the Spirit and not the flesh. You have a choice always, but once you go back it is almost impossible to be refreshed. It is better to never have known the Way of the Truth, then to have known it and turned from it. Who reads this absolute fact and will speak the lie of it being irresistible or that "YOU" can not turn from it? That you can not remove yourself from the love of God? It states it without question, if one knows the Way of Truth and turns from it, it is far worse for that person and it would have been better to NEVER have know the Way to the Truth to have Life and "TURN" from it! It states a fact that "YOU" can but nothing can force you. Again, this states free will choice, it DOES NOT prove sin nature which is a license to sin plain a simple. By the teaching of sin nature you have the ultimate gift of that lie, license to sin and all the forms it shows up as!!! Once you speak well of liars and lies you will reap the reward. They who have pleasure in unrighteousness will reap unrighteousness and gladly call evil good and good evil. Gladly will take light for dark and dark for light. They who were once FREED FROM SIN, to go back to sin, as written a dog returns its vomit, proving it is "YOU" who are always able to turn back, look back, go back to sin and that wage of sin, the righteous requirement of the Law, death for sin. To have put your hands to the plough/plow and then removed your hands from it, is a clear statement of the fact that "YOU" are free to choose to run the race or cease from it. You can obey from the heart or you can choose not to. That is why I have not ceased to warn, for I was hit with the lie from all sides. That I was free to sin and nothing I could do would ever take me from the love of God. I could keep smoking pot and serving my flesh, I could keep lusting after the flesh, I could watch porn, I could lie, I could steal, I could live all the sins unto death and I would never have to pay the price that all the others will have to pay who live the very same way. Can anyone say HYPOCRITE? Yet this is what they all believe, the sin confess, sin repent, no one can obey, no one can cease from sin, no one can, and no one has to. I have heard this for six years now from one so called self professed after another.
You are freed to walk in the Spirit and SIN NOT. You are not freed to walk in the flesh and sin. I believe Paul makes this point abundantly clear in the next chapters of Romans, but the provision makers have turned it into more of the same liberty in sin as they serve corruption.
Romans 6:7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.
I liveth but not I that liveth but Christ...
Romans 6:8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
Died once for sin, there is not anymore sacrifice for sin, it is once and for all, not daily, not weekly, not monthly, not yearly. It is in the very moment one finds the Truth and is put to death with Him and quickened by Him through the Holy Ghost, the Breathe of Life.
Romans 6:9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
You are in HIS LIKENESS, you die once for sin, then you live for God and not the world. You affections and lusts are crucified, the passions and the desires are mortified, put to death in the planting with the Lord Jesus and you are instantly, not forever dying daily, but instantly freed from the bondage of sin and death through Christ. Not a forever work to be freed from the lust of the flesh, but instantly free, instantly have the ability, the power to walk in the new life found in Christ, it has not one single thing to do with sin confess and repeat, or sin and repent and repeat. Has nothing to do with inability and everything to do with ability, power, able! Yea Lord? Yea!
The liars hook you with the die daily to sin or the foolishness applied to Galatians 5. You die to sin and then you grow from there, if you are still dying to sin then you are NOT IN CHRIST, you are not freed from the bondage. You can recite the lies of Augustine and Luther and many, many others till Christ cometh again and you will still suffer the wages of sin in a way I desire none to know, for the wage is death, true death, separated from the presence of the Lord forever, and the smoke of your torment will rise forever, knowing you chose to follow the mouths of fools and allow others to carry your crown for you, that you leaned upon the wisdom of men and cast you cares upon them, you trusted in men and put everything before God, when it was to be nothing before Him. Told to withdraw from them and avoid them that live in error and rather than heed the warnings you took salvation lightly, took the Rock of Salvation lightly and worked not out your own salvation with fear and trembling and thought others were working out for you. I lived this Truth of being separated from His presence, it was shown to me in an open vision and it is far worse then man can fathom, I tell you again, do not allow yourselves to be deceived and do not deceive yourselves. I beg you to not take the Truth lightly, war is no light matter, battle is no light matter, fighting is no light matter. Run the race, fight the fight with all sobriety, severity, sincerity, with vehement desire from the heart, don't sit back and kick your feet up, prepare, get ready, the bride prepares for Him, is ready for Him, waiting, watching, at the door even now, to answer when? Immediately, instantly, now even, now!
Romans 6:10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
Romans 6:11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
SO YOU "LET" NOT SIN THEREFORE REIGN IN YOU. You bring your bodies into subjection and rule over it like God told Cain to do. You do it, it is not done fore you. You pay the price of the free gift that Christ gave upon the cross. You do it, do not lay at the feet of God provisions of some awful nature to rebel and sin against the Truth. Do not blame God for He did not make you to walk in the lust of the flesh but He made you all upright. Gave you all the nature to choose, free will. You obey Him who set you free, you do not obey the corruption that is in the world through lust, want! You do it Cain or sin will rule you Cain. You obey from the heart the Truth, you have faith, you add to it virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, godliness, brotherly kindness, and charity. From faith to love, you do it with Him, it is not done without Him, or by Him. You count the cost and deceive not yourself of the cost. You run the race, you fight the fight with Him, for we are workers together with Him. You are in the likeness of Him who was able, who sinned not, who overcame, who made and open show of it. It is meet that you walk as He walked, meet that you put on this mind that is Christ and not that mind that can not obey from the heart, provisions.
Romans 6:12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
You yield not to unrighteousness, you yield not to sin, you yield yourselves to unto God as written. Submit thyself unto God! This is true weakness in which ye are made strong through Christ. As who? Those who are ALIVE FROM THE DEAD. Those who have Repented and received repentance from God per 2 Timothy 2:25. Those who have fallowed the ground of their hearts. Those who have been purged of dead works. Those who have received forgiveness of sins past. Those who have truly acknowledged the Truth. Those who have been born again and set free. Those who have been given the new heart. Again, have you not heard that to whom "YOU FREELY CHOOSE TO YIELD YOURSELVES TO" you are servants to that which you have yielded yourselves to? Have you not understood that "YOU" are the only one who can obey for yourselves? That no one can obey the Truth for you, that they who who say it is all obeyed for you are liars, empty wells without water, clouds with no rain blown about all the many lies of them that sell lies, a great tempest indeed they are.
You have become an instrument of righteousness when? NOW! The very moment you woke from the dead, but they have done all they can to deceive you back to sleep with lies upon lies. To make it easy and broad, they who offer you provisions, excuses as to why and how one can be born again and still live like a devil. To be able to say with a straight face that they love Christ with all their hearts but serve sin. Provision that allow one to divorce and remarry and profess how much they loved the one they left, Christ. Provisions to cheat on the Truth with lies and profess how much ye love the Truth. Provisions that change the Truth of true love never failing into a love that fails. When does it fail by them that sell lies? EVERY SINGLE DAY, in thought, in words, in deeds. That no one can, no one will, no one ever has obeyed from the heart the Truth. This is what you will learn if you walk with them in the lust of the flesh. Professing to walk by "faith alone" getting high and drunk on sin each day but somehow just "loves" the Truth. Are you alive from the dead ,"born again"?
Romans 6:13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
Look who professes openly that sin can not be ceased from. Who tell you they love the Lord but sin rules over them each day. When the Truth tells us that sin shall have no dominion over them that have been crucified with Christ, raised in the newness of Life and walk in the Spirit and not the flesh. Look who does not obey this Truth but makes provisions as to why they do not obey.
Romans 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
Look who tells you they are under grace but still sin, still fail each day to the sins unto death, for there are sins not unto death and there are sin unto death. And what good is a grace that does not teach you how to live in the will of God? But a grace that just covers, hides sins?
Romans 6:15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.
Romans 6:16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
You were servants of sin, but you are now not what? Servants any longer, for you do not yield yourselves to sin. You do not fall for the temptation. You are bold, strong, powerful through Christ and able absolutely to obey, Go and Sin No More!! The key over and over is "YOU" obeying Him. Not Him obeying you or for you.
Romans 6:17 But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.
Not freed in sin, but "FROM" it. You serve righteousness, for they who DO righteousness are righteous even as Christ is. You are like Him, in the same likeness. Likeness of death, likeness of being born again, and likeness of ability to do all that is asked of you. If you call Him Lord you do what He says to do because you are Able, and not Cain. Because out of love for being forgiven much you truly love much more and love does not fail, true love fails not. You understand you are a debtor and you pay your debts for the wicked barrow and pay not their debts as written.
Romans 6:18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.
You have yielded yourselves to uncleanness, but not anymore, you now yield yourselves to righteousness unto holiness. Even NOW, you yield to the Truth. Not tomorrow, NOW!
Romans 6:19 I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.
When you served sin you were free from righteousness. Just like when you serve righteousness you are FREED FROM SIN. Just as it is written, "warn the righteous that they sin not" Ezekiel 3:21. It is the same as it always has been, but the new is the newness of life out of death through Christ. Nothing is new, it is the same thing you have always heard from the beginning. If you love Me, keep My Commandments. If you love Me, obey Me. If you call me Lord, then do as thy Lord has said. Nothing before God ever, no image whatsoever, do not take His Name in vain. They who name the Name of Christ depart from iniquity, they do not take it in vain. Why Name the Lord if you have no true desire to know Him, to obey Him, what purpose is there but to subvert the Truth with a false witness, then whom do ye truly serve? Servants of righteousness are FREE from sin. Not because they can sin and magically are free from the requirements of the Law, but free to choose to not sin, they have the ability, the desire for their desires of the flesh have been crucified with Christ. They are free indeed "if" you do not buy all the lies that are so pervasive in this world. The false witness is everywhere and it is well spoken of. The arrows are always being shot by the enemy.
Romans 6:20 For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.
What fruit did you have in the freedom of righteousness, sinning? it was death. How is it the shame of this Truth, that one only understands "IF" they have been forgiven, purged of those dead works and set free to serve Life could ever truly acknowledge this Truth? The shame that wrought the fruit of death. How ashamed indeed I am to know the things I did, that I crucified Christ for my own desires that I refused to deny myself but cause harm to others for my own pleasure. But thanks be to God who gave His Son for Me freely and the Son freely allowed Himself to be nailed to the cross so I could see what it was I had done. To have that godly sorrow spoken of in 2 Corinthians. To be able to see (blepo), the filth of sin, just how disgusting it is in Truth. The shame I have for laying with sin, sleeping literally with the enemy, having pleasure in death, in destruction, in pain, in the suffering of others.
I am ashamed of what I was, but I will not be ashamed of my Lord and my new Life. I will obey from the heart and walk in the Truth unto death for I am able through Christ, being a worker with Him. I will not allow myself to be allured back into the filth of the fleshly affections and lusts, to serve them, to yield myself servant to them, by keeping my mind stayed upon Christ. For the Law remains forever, the wages of sin is death and there is NO MORE sacrifice for sins. Better to walk in the Truth and look not back then to know the Truth and turn from it. To heed the warning and with all sobriety, severity, sincerity go not back to my vomit like a dumb dog. Rather bark and profess the Truth, I am free from sin and death. I have been born again, it is real, is the Truth, it is not some invention of men, but Holy men of God spoke by the very Spirit of God and have told the Truth. Christ is the Way, the Truth and the Life and there is no other way, not even one other way, Amen. It is a literal rebirth and not a vain imagination, it is a quickening that brings to life in you the spirit that is dead through sin, separated by the gap sin creates.
Romans 6:21 What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.
Romans 6:22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. "
The righteous requirement of the Law is what? DEATH FOR SIN! We have to be born again in the newness of Life, in Christ. It is not arbitrary, or some metaphor, or allegory, it is not repeating some words, like I believe, or have faith or reciting some prayer about being a sinner, it is not an altar call or any of the foolish things men create. It is vehement heart felt desire to change. To have had enough of the old man and to acknowledge the Truth. If you truly have been crucified with Him, then you absolutely know the quickening Spirit that does what? Restores your Life in Christ, the new heart, the born again, the refreshing, the quickening, the life restored, not in pretense but for fact! You will not ask anyone if it happened but will tell them that it did happen and HOW it happened. You will not bury it, hide it, and it will not be private, for whom loves much does not hide that love. What is freely given one truly desires to freely give. This NEW MAN does not have his affections and lusts of the old man, but is new and free to walk after the Spirit and not the flesh. The flesh has nothing the new man wants, have you read in Romans 6 the part that speak of the shameful fruit?
Romans 8:4, " That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. "
To be equally yoked, to be yoked with Christ, raised in His likeness, He who overcame the world. You can bear the same as He, it is not robbery to be equal. It is robbery to tell you that you can do all things through Christ but be free like Him. To be able to do all things through Christ but cease from sin and obey from the heart is not equally yoked, that is a filthy vile lie they all offer you, do not buy it, run from them, escape from them, flee from them, do not be afraid of them, do not desire to be friends with them, nor be afraid of their terror which is evident when they hear the Truth!!!!!
The heart is the throne of God and who wants to sit upon that throne and show himself to be God? Only if you allow this to happen can this be. The mark is sin and the pleasure of it, it has always been the mark of the beast. Mankind in sin and having pleasure in them that sin and in sinning. It is the love of self, the love of the world, it is why this is hatred towards God. They who are marked by the Lord sigh and cry over the abominations in the world, they do not find pleasure in them. The angles sing in heaven for one sinner who turns from sin unto the Truth. They who have no pleasure in them that sin, but turn from it show they yield themselves to whom they obey out of love. I love the Truth and I turn not from the Truth. The who love sin and have pleasure in the, that sin and their own sins, serve that which they have yielded and they obey it. Gods throne is your heart and satan wants to sit upon that throne and show itself to be god by you serving sin, being unable, being Cain. You do not allow this, you rule over it, you have self control for you are a city set upon a hill for all to see the light thereof. You stand fast and be not moved. You have faith? be a man and move not an inch. You want liberty in sin? satan has endless licenses to sin, and hell will never run out of room!
If you love the Lord Jesus truly, then,
Abiding faithfulness, abiding, the true Christian life is one of ability through love, striving, being diligent, digging deep, fighting, racing, running, chasing, affirming, proving, yearning, crying, thirsting, hungering, studying, making certain at all times that one is in the faith. Able to give an answer, what is faith, what is belief, what is grace, not making provisions, not making excuses, but ever Able, never Cain. It is the likeness of Christ right now, if you have received the Truth, heard the knock and opened unto Him. The Father and the Son will sup with you in your heart. The LAW written in you, the new covenant! Obeying from the HEART, it just keeps saying the same thing over and over in many ways. The new Covenant is the LAW WRITTEN UPON YOUR HEARTS AND MINDS SO YOU CAN OBEY FROM THE HEART THE TRUTH IN THE NEWNESS OF LIFE GIVEN BY THE FREE GIFT, CHRIST CRUCIFIED AND RESURRECTED, the passing over of sins PAST, the forgiveness, the purging of dead works. For without Him we can do nothing.
This is the Lords day, it is not any other day and it will never be any other day. It is a day made for man and not man for it. It is the fourth Commandment and the very day God Himself rested. A day written by the very hand of God into stone and through the new covenant upon the heart and mind. It is this day from eve to eve, the Way the Truth tells it, so it is. Give glory to Him who created the heavens, the earth, the sea and the fountains of waters. Magnify His Name in the Truth, serve ye the Truth not in words but in deeds. For in the end all will give and account for every word spoken, will be judged for their own works. For we the words we speak as told to me, so I tell you.
Seek, Repent and Sin No More, this is my Lord. For it is remission of sins past and not permission for sins future. If you love Him, then obey Him, that is what He said.
I was made free, by the Truth.
Blessed be the Name of the Lord Amen and Amen.
