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.
What does "defilement" mean?
How do we get defiled?
Who defiles us?
How do we get out of that?
We all know Satan's way.
Perpetual chaos, corruption, and confusion.
Always challenging the laws of GOD.
Surely, you know of his devious devices.
Unbelievers scoff there is a devil.
They mock GOD's laws.
They mock believers.
They continue about their destructive behavior.
Preferring the world's ways, to GOD's ways.
Confirming what the LORD JESUS declared:
John 8:43-45
King James Version
43 Why do ye not understand my speech?
even because ye cannot hear my word.
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.
We are not to conform to society.
To what seems to be popular, and accepted.
For it is not necessarily of GOD.
Luke 16:15
King James Version
15 And he said unto them,
Ye are they which justify yourselves before men;
but God knoweth your hearts:
for that which is highly esteemed among men
is abomination in the sight of God.
We did a series on "marriage" the past days.
We shared with you GOD's laws on marriage, and divorce.
It's important we know GOD's commands, for many are in great sin.
Of grievous concern is same-gender marriage.
Only the enemy of CHRIST could think something like that up.
Making sure you are misled, defiled, and in open rebellion.
Today, SPIRIT led me to another powerful set of verses.
Which completes that same-gender article.
Romans 1:25-32
King James Version
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie,
and worshipped and served the creature
more than the Creator,
who is blessed for ever.
Amen.
26 For this cause
God gave them up unto vile affections:
for even their women did change the natural use
into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men,
leaving the natural use of the woman,
burned in their lust one toward another;
men with men working that which is unseemly,
and receiving in themselves
that recompence of their error which was meet.
28 And even as they did not like
to retain God in their knowledge,
God gave them over to a reprobate mind,
to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness,
fornication, wickedness,
covetousness, maliciousness;
full of envy, murder, debate, deceit,
malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God,
despiteful, proud, boasters,
inventors of evil things,
disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding,
covenantbreakers,
without natural affection,
implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who knowing the judgment of God,
that they which commit such things
are worthy of death,
not only do the same,
but have pleasure in them
that do them.
A born again must share GOD's WORD.
We must tell you of JESUS' commands.
We must share prophecy.
We must expose evil.
We must edify each other.
We must tell you of abominations against GOD.
We must warn you of GOD's WRATH.
We must tell you to FEAR the LORD.
We must tell you about HOLINESS.
We must tell you about the Rapture.
Oftentimes, churches are quiet.
They don't want to offend.
They don't want to lose worshipers.
They don't want to be unpopular.
But let's not forget, the church is not the one worshiped.
It is GOD we need to worship.
Even an angel reminded us of that.
Revelation 19:10
King James Version
10 And I fell at his feet to worship him.
And he said unto me,
See thou do it not:
I am thy fellowservant,
and of thy brethren
that have the testimony of Jesus:
worship God:
for the testimony of Jesus
is the spirit of prophecy.
That ought to get everyone back on track.
The gospel of JESUS CHRIST is a nonnegotiable gospel.
It doesn't aim to please anyone.
JESUS came to SAVE the lost.
Turn to JESUS now.
That your sins may be washed in His blood.
Revelation 1:5
King James Version
5 And from Jesus Christ,
who is the faithful witness,
and the first begotten of the dead,
and the prince of the kings of the earth.
Unto him that loved us,
and washed us from our sins
in his own blood,
That we may be ready, during the "times of refreshing".
Acts 3:19
King James Version
19 Repent ye therefore,
and be converted,
that your sins may be blotted out,
when the times of refreshing shall come
from the presence of the Lord.
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.
Find comfort in the fact believers are sanctified through JESUS.
Hebrews 10:10-12
King James Version
10 By the which will we are sanctified
through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ
once for all.
11 And every priest standeth daily
ministering and offering oftentimes
the same sacrifices,
which can never take away sins:
12 But this man,
after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever,
sat down on the right hand of God;
We must not embrace popular culture.
It seeks our utter destruction.
You may have the world.
But you may lose your soul.
The world belongs to the fallen one.
You can expect traps set here, there, and everywhere.
In its simplest form, this you need to know:
GOD loves us; Satan hates us.
The enemy hates EVERYTHING GOD loves.
What part of that is difficult to understand?
Your body is the TEMPLE of the HOLY SPIRIT.
Precisely why Satan wants it defiled.
Another simple truth.
