FREE from ambivalence

 

1 Corinthians 14:33

King James Version

33 For God is not the author of confusion, 

but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.


That's the beauty of being born again.

We don't get confused.

We have JESUS Who teaches us.

We have SPIRIT Who reminds us of the LORD's laws.

We have Scripture to tell us about GOD, JESUS, and SPIRIT.

We are never at a loss for GOD's WORD.

We know what the past, present, and future are.

Except for when the Rapture will be.

Or when JESUS will return.

Scripture tells us everything we need to know.

SPIRIT helps us discern the times.

Unless you're born again, you'd be lost.

For JESUS is the ONLY WAY to GOD.


We are not ambivalent.

We are sure of what the BIBLE* teaches us.

What is ambivalence?

Merriam-Webster defines it as:

: simultaneous and contradictory attitudes or feelings (such as attraction and repulsion) toward an object, person, or action

: continual fluctuation (as between one thing and its opposite)

: uncertainty as to which approach to follow


And that's what makes everything so exciting.

We know GOD's story, man's story, and his hope for the future.

Whatever happens in the world has all been prophesied.

Before GOD made me born again in 2019, I bought many books.

I studied many things.

That I may understand the times.

That I may be able to discern what's happening.

That I may find ABSOLUTE truth.

Thinking that's the way to go about it.

Did I find it?

Nope.


"Something" was always elusive.

I couldn't seem to get to the "bottom" of it.

Only when I hit rock bottom, did GOD come to my rescue.

But, of course, surrendering means, you repent of your sins.

That you're sick of your old self, and desire real change.

That's how the god of this world "hooks" seekers.

He gives you anything BUT truth.

He gives you many distractions.

CHRIST's enemy wants you lost.


All 24 years of studying since 1995 taught me many things.

Such as "new age" being actually "old" age.

I had pounced upon the "doctrines of devils".

You know how ancient GOD's enemy is.

Now, I shudder to even think about it.

But GOD, in His divine wisdom, took mercy upon me. 

He made sure all that "research" was put to good use.

He just allowed it.

He did not admonish me.

He just let me be.

He knew I was searching for something.

I had no idea it was Him.

GOD allows everything, for His PERFECT purpose.

How could this workman be an effective writer, if I had not known that which is NOT of GOD?

GOD let me go through many falls, and challenges.

That I may know better.


All such learning serves my work now.

GOD's WORD tells me ABSOLUTE truth.

SPIRIT guides me to understand Scripture.

And this is where He led me --

All truth comes from JESUS:

John 1:17

King James Version

17 For the law was given by Moses, 

but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.


The Bible comes from GOD.

2 Timothy 3:16

King James Version

16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, 

and is profitable for doctrine, 

for reproof, 

for correction, 

for instruction in righteousness:


Scripture exists for this end goal:

2 Timothy 3:17

King James Version

17 That the man of God may be perfect, 

thoroughly furnished unto all good works.


Being born again means we will never again be lost.

That is, if we live by the Bible.

And I sure am, and do.

I hope you do, too.

There's nothing quite like it.

Being under the GRACE and GUIDANCE of the LORD.

There's really only JESUS* to look to:

Philippians 4:7

King James Version

7 And the peace of God, 

which passeth all understanding, 

shall keep your hearts and minds 

through Christ Jesus.


*P.S.

I'll let you in on something.

As I went to my link on the word "BIBLE", wifi connection conked out.

The same thing happened when I went to my link on the word "JESUS".

Says much, doesn't it?

But I'm used to it.

My work gets hindered a lot.

Still, it pulls through.

How can it not?

I serve the LIVING GOD.

WORRIED about the FUTURE?

 

Philippians 4:6-7

King James Version

6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing 

by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving 

let your requests be made known unto God.

7 And the peace of God, 

which passeth all understanding, 

shall keep your hearts and minds 

through Christ Jesus.


Are you worried about the future?

We should be.

Especially if we're not right with GOD.

What good would tons of money do?

Especially if we end up in hell?

We can't buy our way out of it.


Everything is the world is temporary.

Everything is an illusion.

We've all bought into it.

Only in JESUS can we have certainty.

Believers have eternal life with JESUS.


Nothing in the world can assure us.

Banks cannot assure us.

Governments can't.

Companies can't.

That's the way of the world.

It's under the control of Satan.

He's got it all rigged.

Everyone's under his payroll.

With many not aware of it.

And how the dude gloats.


But the born again knows.

We are aware.

We know Scripture.

We know the WORD of GOD.

We know His promises.

We know our future.

We know what to believe in.

We know Who to believe in.

We know Who to put our trust in.

We know who to avoid.


If everything's complicated in the world, it was designed to be.

And it sure doesn't serve the everyday person.

The god of this world makes sure of that.

1 Peter 5:8

King James Version

8 Be sober, be vigilant; 

because your adversary the devil, 

as a roaring lion, 

walketh about, 

seeking whom he may devour:


The world was designed to serve the few.

To serve the manipulators.

To serve the godless.

To serve Satan.

Everything's designed to confuse everyday people.

Everything's designed to keep us in the dark, and out of the loop.

Everything's designed to take away personal power from us.

If it was so simple, we'd have no need for lawyers and accountants.

And many more industries would be out of business.

But Satan likes to keep the game going.

And GOD will allow -- for a time.


If you think I'm imagining things, listen to this video.

Funny this video shows up today.

Those things had been on my mind for ages.

It tells of how the world is being run.

And where to put our hope in.


But don't be afraid.

GOD has a master plan for salvation.

He wants us to be NEW creatures, in an old system.

2 Corinthians 5:17

King James Version

17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, 

he is a new creature: old things are passed away; 

behold, all things are become new.


Only by being born again is that possible.

Being born again means we are taught by SPIRIT.

GOD's SPIRIT teaches us about JESUS.

That's how we get peace.

The peace we so dearly desire.

The peace the world withholds so much from us.

And yet, we only need to look to JESUS.

It's the only way to breathe easy.

In JESUS is our SALVATION.

SAVING the LOST

 


JESUS declared:

Luke 19:10

King James Version

10 For the Son of man is come 

to seek and to save that which was lost.


Who are the lost?

What makes them lost?

What does the Bible say?

What dangers do they face?

Let SPIRIT and SCRIPTURE tell us.

Whether Jew, or Gentile, these apply to all of us:

Matthew 13:41-42

King James Version

41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, 

and they shall gather out of his kingdom 

all things that offend, 

and them which do iniquity;

42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: 

there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.


Matthew 24:37-39

King James Version

37 But as the days of Noah were, 

so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

38 For as in the days that were before the flood 

they were eating and drinking, 

marrying and giving in marriage, 

until the day that Noe entered into the ark,

39 And knew not until the flood came, 

and took them all away; 

so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.


John 8:24

King James Version

24 I said therefore unto you, 

that ye shall die in your sins: 

for if ye believe not that I am he, 

ye shall die in your sins.


John 8:44-45

King James Version

44 Ye are of your father the devil, 

and the lusts of your father ye will do. 

He was a murderer from the beginning, 

and abode not in the truth, 

because there is no truth in him. 

When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: 

for he is a liar, and the father of it.

45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.


2 Timothy 3:1-7

King James Version

3 This know also, that in the last days 

perilous times shall come.

2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, 

covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, 

disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

3 Without natural affection, 

trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, 

despisers of those that are good,

4 Traitors, heady, highminded, 

lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

5 Having a form of godliness, 

but denying the power thereof: 

from such turn away.

6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, 

and lead captive silly women laden with sins, 

led away with divers lusts,

7 Ever learning, 

and never able to come 

to the knowledge of the truth.


Revelation 21:27

King James Version

27 And there shall in no wise enter into it 

any thing that defileth, 

neither whatsoever worketh abomination, 

or maketh a lie: 

but they which are written 

in the Lamb's book of life.


Revelation 22:14-15

King James Version

14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, 

that they may have right to the tree of life, 

and may enter in through the gates into the city.

15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, 

and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, 

and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.


In SUMMARY, the "lost" are:

all things that offend

them which do iniquity

those who live carelessly, as in before the flood

those who don't believe JESUS is the SON of GOD

murderers, liars

lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy

Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good

Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God

Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof

captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth

any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie

dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie


Are you one of the lost?

Do you hear GOD's call now?

What call, you'd probably ask.

Let JESUS tell us:

Matthew 22:37-38

King James Version

37 Jesus said unto him, 

Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, 

and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

38 This is the first and great commandment.


Mark 1:15

King James Version

15 And saying, 

The time is fulfilled, 

and the kingdom of God is at hand: 

repent ye, 

and believe the gospel.


John 3:3-7

King James Version

3 Jesus answered and said unto him, 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born again, 

he cannot see the kingdom of God.

4 Nicodemus saith unto him, 

How can a man be born when he is old? 

can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, 

and be born?

5 Jesus answered, 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, 

he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; 

and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, 

Ye must be born again.


Now that you know all these, would you say you're lost?

Or saved?

Time to make a stand now.

Turn to JESUS now.

That you may share eternal life with Him.

Man has no idea what disbelief and rebellion entail.

Only through JESUS do we have a chance at REAL life.

John 3:16-17

King James Version

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.


GOD loves us all, and wants all of us saved.

2 Peter 3:9

King James Version

9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, 

as some men count slackness; 

but is longsuffering to us-ward, 

not willing that any should perish, 

but that all should come to repentance.


The question is, do you want to be saved?

Have you acknowledged your own sinfulness?

Are you aware of your errors?

Do you know what pleases GOD?

Turn to GOD, and repent.

For it's all preparation now.

JESUS talks about the Rapture

 

JESUS commands:

Luke 12:35

King James Version

35 Let your loins be girded about, 

and your lights burning;


The Rapture can occur any moment.

JESUS alerted me to that in early 2020.

Four months after GOD made me born again.

That warning took my work to the next level.

Every post has been to warn, and wake people up.

JESUS talks about the Rapture:

Matthew 24:40-42

King James Version

40 Then shall two be in the field; 

the one shall be taken, and the other left.

41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; 

the one shall be taken, and the other left.

42 Watch therefore: 

for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.


And how we must prepare:

Luke 12:36

King James Version

36 And ye yourselves like unto men 

that wait for their lord, 

when he will return from the wedding; 

that when he cometh and knocketh, 

they may open unto him immediately.


Luke 12:37-38

King James Version

37 Blessed are those servants, 

whom the lord when he cometh 

shall find watching: 

verily I say unto you, 

that he shall gird himself, 

and make them to sit down to meat, 

and will come forth and serve them.

38 And if he shall come in the second watch, 

or come in the third watch, 

and find them so, blessed are those servants.


Luke 12:39

King James Version

39 And this know, 

that if the goodman of the house had known 

what hour the thief would come, 

he would have watched, 

and not have suffered his house to be broken through.


Luke 12:40

King James Version

40 Be ye therefore ready also: 

for the Son of man cometh at an hour 

when ye think not.


Luke 12:42-43

King James Version

42 And the Lord said, 

Who then is that faithful and wise steward, 

whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, 

to give them their portion of meat in due season?

43 Blessed is that servant, 

whom his lord when he cometh 

shall find so doing.


Luke 12:46

King James Version

46 The lord of that servant will come in a day 

when he looketh not for him, 

and at an hour when he is not aware, 

and will cut him in sunder, 

and will appoint him his portion 

with the unbelievers.


Luke 12:54-56

King James Version

54 And he said also to the people, 

When ye see a cloud rise out of the west, 

straightway ye say, 

There cometh a shower; and so it is.

55 And when ye see the south wind blow, 

ye say, There will be heat; 

and it cometh to pass.

56 Ye hypocrites, 

ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; 

but how is it that ye do not discern this time?

BELIEVERS have PEACE

 

Mark 5:36

King James Version

36 As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, 

he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, 

Be not afraid, only believe.


If you were to watch the news today, you'd be worried.

But believers in JESUS can't be worried.

A true born again trusts in JESUS.

Completely.

SPIRIT and SCRIPTURE give us comfort.

Showing that only THROUGH JESUS, can we have peace.

We know GOD is in control of everything.

We have FAITH in our LORD.

JESUS assures us:

John 14:6

King James Version

6 Jesus saith unto him, 

I am the way, the truth, and the life: 

no man cometh unto the Father, 

but by me.


John 14:27

King James Version

27 Peace I leave with you, 

my peace I give unto you: 

not as the world giveth, give I unto you. 

Let not your heart be troubled, 

neither let it be afraid.


John 16:33

King James Version

33 These things I have spoken unto you, 

that in me ye might have peace.

13 Now the God of hope 

fill you with all joy and peace in believing, 

that ye may abound in hope, 

through the power of the Holy Ghost.


1 Corinthians 2:14

King James Version

14 But the natural man receiveth not 

the things of the Spirit of God: 

for they are foolishness unto him: 

neither can he know them, 

because they are spiritually discerned.


1 Corinthians 14:33

King James Version

33 For God is not the author of confusion, 

but of peace, 

as in all churches of the saints.


Galatians 5:22-26

King James Version

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is 

love, joy, peace, longsuffering,

 gentleness, goodness, faith,

23 Meekness, temperance: 

against such there is no law.

24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh 

with the affections and lusts.

25 If we live in the Spirit, 

let us also walk in the Spirit.

26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, 

provoking one another, envying one another.


Philippians 4:6-7

King James Version

6 Be careful for nothing; 

but in every thing by prayer and supplication 

with thanksgiving 

let your requests be made known unto God.

7 And the peace of God, 

which passeth all understanding, 

shall keep your hearts and minds 

through Christ Jesus.


Colossians 3:1-2

King James Version

3 If ye then be risen with Christ, 

seek those things which are above, 

where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

not on things on the earth.

King James Version

23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; 

and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body 

be preserved blameless 

unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.


2 Timothy 1:7

King James Version

7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; 

but of power, 

and of love, 

and of a sound mind.


Hebrews 13:20-21

King James Version

20 Now the God of peace, 

that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, 

that great shepherd of the sheep, 

through the blood of the everlasting covenant,

21 Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, 

working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, 

through Jesus Christ; 

to whom be glory for ever and ever. 

Amen.


James 3:17

King James Version

17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, 

then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, 

full of mercy and good fruits, 

without partiality, and without hypocrisy.


Believers are unafraid.

We have peace.

JESUS gives us peace.

Scripture gives us peace.

Unbelievers are in grave danger.

King James Version

36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: 

and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; 

but the wrath of God abideth on him.

King James Version

47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, 

He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.

48 I am that bread of life.

FREE of worry

 

Psalm 37:18

King James Version

18 The Lord knoweth the days of the upright:

 and their inheritance shall be for ever.


Why does the Bible say "fret not"?

What are we supposed to be free of worry from?

Why shouldn't we worry about evildoers?

Here's where SPIRIT led me:

Psalm 37:1-2

King James Version

37 Fret not thyself because of evildoers, 

neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.

2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, 

and wither as the green herb.


Psalm 37:7

King James Version

7 Rest in the Lord, 

and wait patiently for him: 

fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, 

because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.


Psalm 37:8

King James Version

8 Cease from anger, 

and forsake wrath: 

fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.


Instead of fretting, what does JESUS say?

John 16:33

King James Version

33 These things I have spoken unto you, 

that in me ye might have peace. 

In the world ye shall have tribulation: 

but be of good cheer; 

I have overcome the world.


In addition, apostle Paul urges us to focus on CHRIST alone.

Colossians 3:1-2

King James Version

3 If ye then be risen with Christ, 

seek those things which are above, 

where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

2 Set your affection on things above, 

not on things on the earth.


It's also good to know these things:
