The Responsibility and Rewards of Self-Examination

Who do you think knows the Gospel message and the manner in which to follow the teaching of Christ?

The Apostles that were educated about the things pertaining to Salvation by Christ himself?

Christ also bears witness personally of the Apostles and rewarded their labors of love for they preached Christ the foundation that was laid, Christ wrote their names in the Foundations of the New Jerusalem, the Church!

   If you are walking in the light of righteousness as Christ did, and the indwelling of the spirit of Christ has given you victory over your sins, and you are no longer a slave to sinful lusts and desires.

Ask Christ in prayer and through the reading of the Word if you have settle the old debt of sin once and for all? Have you fulfilled all the Gospel requires of those who follow Christ?

 Ro.6:16

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.

If Christ sets you free you are free indeed! Praise God, Let the Whole family of God give him Glory.

Rev 21:14

The Apostles Names are forever written into Foundation that was laid which is Christ!

  Who would know the Gospel better then they, Martin Luther? John Wesley? Calvin? Somebody that was born 100 years ago?

Are any of their names in the foundations of new Jerusalem?

Think about this for a while. Would God command you through his Apostles to obey a doctrine that would send you to hell?

Of course not, God forbid, the only one that would gain from the lie and desecrating the Holy Scriptures of God by trying to persuade people that it is wrong to obey the word, is Satan (Remember Eve?).

Don't be beguiled to follow another man made Gospel that the Apostles did not preach. It is easy to obey God and follow the Scriptures, it is as easy as getting out of bed in the morning.

Don't let Satan damn your soul through foolishness or disobedience. Besides, use common sense when approaching the things in Scripture that you might question.

Consider this practical example of these two kinds of people:

 1. If you have your automobile in the shop because the muffler fell off, and they tell you the pipe that is going to hold you new muffler on is rusting into and the new muffler with a lifetime warranty may fall off in a week or two what would you do? Would you do the right thing so the work lasts the life of the warranty or would you just be silly and take your chances and possibly need another muffler put on your car a week or two when the first new one fell off?

Some people might get all worked up because they don't have a right spirit? They might not even look at the pipe for themselves, and just assume the mechanic is out to get them for more of their hard earned money! Then when the muffler fell off  in a week or two they would tell everybody what a poor job they were doing down there at the automotive shop and blame someone else for their calamity!

 2. Then there are those that have a right spirit, a measure of Faith, and a frugal character. This would motivate them to come along side the mechanic and look for themselves to see that everyone was honest, and on the same page, in agreement about the problem they are faced with, but most importantly friend they would decide together what to do next about taking care of the problem.

Getting angry friend and sticky your head in the sand should never be an option to anybody especially somebody that believes their pursuing the promise and Kingdom of God. Unless you believe your an Ostridge this behavior is not an acceptable remedy, but that might be a sign of hardness of heart or might even reveal another spirit that isn't after God's kind.

Self examination, and rising to the challenges contained in God's Word is what faith is friend. Faith, it lifts us up to see for ourselves if we be blessed or not? It brings us to a place of expectation to receive a blessing from God. Faith moves us up on the frontlines to guard our Salvation that he (Satan) that comes, but to kill, to steal and destroy does not take the precious thing we cannot afford to lose!

The patriarch's of the Old Testament, they had Faith and it made them obedient to the Commandments of God, and when they failed they were obedient to God's plan for their redemption, that Judgment would not come to them in their days but they might live under the Mercy and Grace of God. They were not perfect and they did not have the Holy Ghost for it was not yet given. These faithful saints believed God for the promise that would come, and Salvation did come to their house as well as ours through Jesus Christ  the Lord (YahvahShua).

Peter had Faith and he knew who Jesus Christ was, he had fellowship with Christ. However Peter realized there was more to the Message of Salvation through Christ then just Faith. Peter realized he did not have any Power over his own will even Faith could not help him, as a result he denied he knew the Lord of Glory to save his own life.

But when Salvation through Conversion (The spirit Christ on the inside of Man) came to Peter he became a Martyr and died being crucified for this Faith in Christ and the Message that we preach. Peter died in Faith full of God's spirit (The Holy Ghost) and this as with Christ reflected his commitment to Christ, also Peter's love for the souls of mankind. Peter when he had fulfilled his days as a preacher of the Gospel denied his flesh, and humbled himself to God, he was nailed upside down to the cross where he was crucified and put to death, because he esteemed himself an unworthy man to be crucified upright in the like manner of Christ!

Don't let foolishness rob you of your blessing friend this isn't a few dollars or a muffler on an old car somewhere this is the Salvation of your soul, and your sons and daughters and their families an their souls we're talking about here.

Is it worth the risk your taking with your house?

Ask yourself what would Jesus our Yahshua do? This is his answer to the dilemma of water baptism.

Then Yahshua came from Galilee to John at the Jordan to be baptized by him. And John tried to prevent him, saying, "I have need to be baptized by you, and are you coming to me?" But Yahshua answered and said to him, "Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness."  Matthew 3:13-15

John was accustomed to baptizing people in response to their repentance of sins. It was a symbolic public declaration of a new birth into a new life of righteous living. He knew Yahshua had no need of such a baptism because he had no sin to turn from! It is Yahshua's answer to John's protest that is interesting here.  He said, "It is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness". Yahshua indicated to John that this was not to be the usual type of baptism. His baptism was to "fulfill all righteousness". I believe Yahshua's baptism was a type of anointing into the priesthood where righteousness is to be fulfilled... and this by John, the son of Zacharias and Elizabeth... a full-blooded Levite. 

I especially appreciated the word building on the baptism of Christ. I had not previously associated both the Kingship and Priesthood together with his baptism by John. This does in fact strengthen and support the view and belief that we are heirs through Christ of the Kingdom and have become by his authority, Kings and Priests in respect to sharing this Message of the Kingdom through the ministry of the Word and Baptism into the Name of YahvehShua. Jesus All Praise to YahvehShua, Jesus.

 Rev 1:5-6

To Satan heaven would be torment because he is dark and evil, full of hate and deceit lies, envy, strife and even a murder. I don't want to say anything about any particular organizations but look at the ministers today! What do you see in the news about the biggest organized religions?

God is full of Life and Love, Purity and Light. Satan doesn't want you to be saved he wants you with him in his battle of  rebellion against God. This battle is not over or just something to read or associate with history. Satan murdered THE CONSCIENCE of a LARGE number of people TODAY.

MANY WERE PROFESSING CHRISTIANS. I say this in sorrow and compassion for those who have been robbed of their blessing of Salvation.

   I say this also in very much shame because I know in my own life I have failed God many times and I have been ignorant to many Truth's that exist to reveal to me my fallen condition without God, and it has been the ignorance that has caused me to sin against God.   

   I have heard many voices in the world in the last 30 years or so that has painted a picture of me that was prettier to hear then it was to see in real life and experience.

      I know I don't deserve God's mercy but I'm glad he made a way that I can have a chance to become what he always wanted me to be, a son obedient to the Father that I could be made whole again and restored to the Family of God.

   God has never ask much of anything from any of us, only that we hear him when he calls us, that we answer his call, and become as little children and come to him as a humble soul that we may receive from him the thing we cannot get for ourselves anywhere else.

   We must come through Christ that we may receive through him the Spirit of reconciliation which is the Holy Ghost, the Spirit of Christ, to be restored back into the family of God and the picture of creation that he designed for us to partake of from the beginning.

   God has pleaded with me and bought me through a lot of deceptions that exist in this world since my days as a youth. The fires of purification have sometimes seemed to nearly take the life out of me, and I've been smashed to pieces on the rock several times, but God as a good father has always been there when I would come to my senses, and I would here him telling me in my spirit to get back up and try again, but try to do it right this time.

  I now see more clearly the path of Righteousness that I know we all must walk, and I can walk because I'm not alone, it is not my strength and my ability that shall overcome, but he that is within me, for he is greater then I, he is also greater then he that is in the world and seeks to destroy me.

   I can overcome because Christ already has, and Christ abides within me in this Journey to insure that I shall inherit the Kingdom of God.

1Pe.4:17

For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?

If you don't find a Church in your area that preaches the Gospel found in The Book of The Acts of the Apostles in Chapter two (2) call me.

I'll find a pastor for you in your area that will baptize you and guide you along the pathway of Truth or If need be, I'll do it myself God willing.

These things are hard sayings to swallow, but I encourage you in the spirit of peace and love, to consider carefully the book of Revelations. No matter how we read the Book, the Judgment of God and the deception of the Devil is never a pretty picture or experience for anyone.

The fact remains there are two opposing forces (Godliness and Unrighteousness) at work in the world today and we know the fathers of these forces. We are going to have to choose in our individual lives where we stand whether we be for Righteousness or Rebellion , while we still have a choice. Soon the choice will be made for us by our silence and disobedience on these matters, pertaining to Scripture and the Gospel of Jesus Christ (YahvahShua).

Paul preached the Gospel to many Gentiles and he was Baptized in water in the Name of the Lord:

Acts 9:18

Again, I repeat,

If Christ sets you free you are free indeed! Praise God, Let the Whole family of God give him Glory.

   He that shall fear the eternal questions has not yet been perfected in Love. Perfect love will cast out all fear. Amen
