The Corner of Walk
and
No-Walk
Are you in the Church that is causing Jesus to "throw-up" ?
...because it is lukewarm (religiously)
"waiting" at:
The Corner of Walk and No-walk?
Rev.3:14 And unto the angel of the church of the (corner of Walk and No-Walk in Your> Hometown!!!!!!!!!!!!!) Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; 15 I know thy works, (How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him.1Kings18:21) that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. (waiting at the corner...and disregarding the signs of Matthew chapter 24:16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. 17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; (saying peace and safety, I'm saved, see ya in the rapture) and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: (lost....thinking they are saved).
You have heard the Word......but, you never acted upon it. You have heard the "once" and you have
recited (publicly) John 3:16 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.
(wonder how SHOULD NOT got in there? Reckon it means anything?..... doesn't it say somewhere that you have to live by EVERY WORD that proceedeth out of the mouth of God? And, after all, THEY told you that this was all that there is to it.... They didn't tell you to read on to verse 36 of John chapter 3?.... 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. (If you, as I do, believe that Believing is an act of obedience, as The Bible indicates, you will confirm and Amen:
Rom. 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? (Jesus said: Matt.7:20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. 21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. 24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: 25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. 26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: James 1:22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves). 27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
You had a (physical) experience, walked the aisle, shook the preachers hand, confessed that you knew that Jesus was the Son of God (every demon in hell also knows, and trembles!), said a "sinners" prayer, was sprinkled or dunked into water and patted on the back and welcomed into the "Kingdom forever", now "wait" with the congregation for the rapture............
Conception, Not Birth....
is what happened:
...
he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it; (maybe? conception took place) Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while:(and then is spiritually aborted)
After you have met their creeds and doctrines, and joined their Church, they let you ("wait") gathered with the "once, always" bunch at the most popular corner in town.........
the corner of world famous "Broadway" and The "Narrow Way"
the corner
of
Walk and No-Walk
....."choose you this day..." Every physical relationship will not produce a birth or even a conception....and not every conception will produce a birth.
An abortion or a loss of the seed took place:Mat. 13:18 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower. 19 When any one heareth the word of (God) the kingdom, and (does not meditate, study, ponder in the heart) understandeth it not, then cometh the (Devil) wicked one, and catcheth away (steals the word...you forget what you heard because hearing comes by hearing and hearing) that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side (your mind and heart was on other things). 20 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it; 21 Yet hath he not root in himself, (wishy-washy, following the crowd) but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, (You choose to be popular with your worldly friends) by and by he is offended. 22 He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, (trying to keep up with the Jones' instead of trusting God's Word) and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. (good fruit: Gal. 5:22; love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance)
Jesus said that we are "born again" by the....." washing of water by the word, That he might present it (The Church, His Body) to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish." Eph. 5:26-27. and again he said: "....He saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost." Eph.3:5. And the Apostle Paul wrote: 1 Cor. 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, 2 By which also ye are saved, IF ye keep in memory (abide, walk, live) what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. Some of the preaching was: Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 2 Cor.10:5. Look what God says to the "believers", the Church of that day; Heb. 3:12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an
evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. 13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we are made partakers of Christ (saved), IF we hold the beginning of our confidence (our assurance, guarantee) stedfast unto the end;.....17 was it not with them (the promise of God) that had sinned, whose carcases fell (lost, not stedfast to the Word of God to the end to be qualified to enter the promise land) in the wilderness?
Unbelief in the heart will show up with disobedience in the walk! Paul also wrote; And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him. Acts 5:32. (you must obey to receive the Gift of The Holy Ghost)
The Apostle Paul said: he could loose it, (salvation), IF he failed to be obedient to the Will and Word of God; 1 Cor. 9:27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway... (lost)...not saved!!
The Apostle Paul is saying, He (and We) could lose his (Our) salvation, IF: he (We) obeyed any teaching, or taught anything other than that which he (We) had received and IF he (We) obey the lust of the eye, the flesh, the pride of position and yielded his (Our) body, mind or spirit to the manifestation of willful, continuing, unrepented sin in his (Our) everyday lifestyle. Why this waiting (compromising) instead of Occupying (standing fast in the liberty that you were called into)?
Mat:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: We have failed in discipline... We have done a good job of "baptizing" we have gotten a bunch of folks wet but, we have failed in the discipline... they have gone back to the pig parlor, the dog to his vomit... Why? Because of no teaching....no vision. The Body has been denied....no teaching, prophetic vision, 1 Cor. 11:27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, (The Word) and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. 28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. 29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, (not walking in obedience to and teaching a false revelation of The Word of God) eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.**** (the entire body: 1 Cor. 12: 12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. 13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. 14 For the body is not one member, but many. 15 If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? 16 And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? 17 If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? 18 But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him. 19 And if they were all one member, where were the body? 20 But now are they many members, yet but one body. 21 And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. 22 Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary: 23 And those members of the body, which we think to be less honorable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness. 24 For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked: 25 That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another. 26 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it. 27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. 28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues. 29 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles? 30 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?)**** 30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. (die) 31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged....no discipline but an exalting of one part of the body, the Pastor, who, in most traditions of men is a dictator....the hireling. In some meetings of the Body, the exact words spoken to the Pastors when they are called to center stage ...."We Worship You...We Praise You...We Give Honor to You". We are distinctively commanded not to give honor, preferring, one part of the body over the others....a command!
We have gone "all-out" for unity....unity at all cost....even a sacrificing of The Truth....a compromising of beliefs with unbeliefs, believers and unbelievers in unity.... and now that we are all together we go out and organize parade, religious entertainment events, (they have not topped the Santa Claus parade, shut down the first beer joint, got booze or the lotteries out of the grocery store, or changed the life of one street person or the average minimum wage employee that can't afford to attend their seminars and gala events)....we've got high paid "fortune tellers" giving "a word" to whosoever had the price of the ticket. We've got pastors patting each other on the back and swapping out "preaching events" (a for paid (hire) event... love offerings). ... Pastors with 2nd, "callings" jobs, abandoning the sheep and going off for hire wherever and whenever. We've paid the price for all this.....our children are taught to be perverts, how to "make love" in school, we are seeing entire cities taken over by gangs..... and not one of these political, socially, in-tune, correct have spoken out and said "thus sayest The Lord..."The soul that sins' dies" Wake-up call has past.....we are saying everyday that our plans are.......bigger buildings, programs, numbers, to be ready for the masses that are coming... in the year two thousand plus....
we have not told the truth which is:
The Day of The Lord is at hand..... repent, repent....
we've had a lot of conceptions but, not births a born again...... repentant life to the end!
True Unity is surrendering unto death (of self) with Jesus....without reservation ....staying nailed to The Cross, not organizing religious events, to be busy doing "good works" ......... parades, entertainment spectaculars and such as ...waiting" not obeying the command of the Lord to:
Mat. 22:9 Go ye therefore into the highways...... and Mat. 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations ....or
are you "waiting" at:
