Do you have the spirit of the accuser or the Spirit of Jesus…

God would rather have Christians with the  fruits of the Spirit instead of fruit inspectors…

It is written…prove all things; hold fast that which is good; abstain from every form of evil. And the God of peace Himself sanctify you wholly; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved entire, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Faithful is he that calleth you, who will also do it.

…Beloved, believe not every spirit, but prove the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: and every spirit that confesses not Jesus is not of God: and this is the spirit of the antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it cometh; and now it is in the world already. You are of God, my little children, and have overcome them: because greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. They are of the world: therefore speak they as of the world, and the world heareth them. We are of God: he that knows God heareth us; he who is not of God heareth us not. By this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

…These are springs without water, and mists driven by a storm; for whom the blackness of darkness hath been reserved. For, uttering great swelling words of vanity (emptiness), they entice in the lusts of the flesh, by lasciviousness (evil sensual lusts), those who are just escaping from them that live in error; promising them liberty, while they themselves are bondservants of corruption; for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he also brought into bondage. For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein and overcome, the last state is become worse with them than the first. For it were better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after knowing it, to turn back from the holy commandment delivered unto them. It has happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog turning to his own vomit again, and the sow that had washed to wallowing in the mire.

(1Th 5:21-24 1Jn 4:1-6 2Pe 2:17-22)

 

Jesus’s word will be our judge on the last day…the Day of Judgement…

Jesus said…Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged: and with what measure you mete (measure out), it shall be measured unto you. And why behold you the mote (little sin) that is in your brother's eye, but consider not the beam (big sin) that is in your own eye? Or how wilt thou say to your brother, Let me cast out the mote out of your eye; and lo, the beam is in your own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of your own eye; and then shalt you see clearly to cast out the mote out of your brother's eye. Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast your pearls before the swine, lest haply they trample them under their feet, and turn and rend you…

…I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believes on me may not abide in the darkness. And if any man hear my sayings, and keep them not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. He that rejects me, and receives not my sayings, hath One that judges him: the word that I spoke, the same shall judge him in the last day…

…Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy by your name, and by your name cast out demons, and by your name do many mighty works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity (work apart from God).

(Mat 7:1-6 Joh 12:46-48 Mat 7:21-23)

The Essential Role of Faith in Embracing the Gospel and Pleasing God

…Therefore, we should fear, lest perhaps, a promise being open to enter into His rest, any of you might seem to come short. For truly, we have had the gospel preached to us, even as they also did; but the preaching of the word did not profit them because it was not mixed with faith in those who heard…

…But all have not obeyed the gospel because as Isaiah said, Lord, who has believed our report? So then, faith comes by hearing, and hearing through the Word of God…

…Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, and the conviction of things not seen. For by this kind of faith the elders obtained a good report…

…Now without faith it is impossible to please God. For it is mandatory for the one who comes to God to believe that He exists, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

(Heb 4:1-2 Rom 10:16-17 Heb 11:1-2 Heb 11:6)

 


The Importance of Scripture and Faithful Study of Truth

…See that they remain mindful of these things, earnestly charging them in the sight of the Lord not to argue over words that are not profitable in any way, but which lead to the subverting of those who hear. Diligently study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing (applying) the Word of the truth…

…All Scripture is God-breathed and is profitable for doctrine, for conviction, for correction, for instruction in righteousness; So that the man of God may be complete, fully equipped for every good work…

…But my God will supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Now to our God and Father be glory into the ages of eternity. Amen.

(2Ti 2:14-15 2Ti 3:16-17 Php 4:19-20)

 


Do You Trust in Divine Provision and Seek Righteousness

…Now if God so arrays the grass of the field, which today is and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall He not much rather clothe you, O you of little faith? Therefore, do not be anxious, saying, What shall we eat? or What shall we drink? or With what shall we be clothed? For the nations seek after all these things. And your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things. But as for you, seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore, do not be anxious about tomorrow; for tomorrow shall take care of the things of itself. Sufficient for the day is the evil of that day…

...Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life; the one who comes to Me shall never hunger; and the one who believes in Me shall never thirst at any time…

…Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled.

(Mat 6:30-34 Joh 6:35 Mat 5:6)

 


Reminder of A New Covenant: Laws Inscribed in Hearts and Minds

This is the covenant that I will establish with them after those days,' says the Lord: 'I will give My laws into their hearts, and I will inscribe them in their minds; And their sins and lawlessness I will not remember ever again. (Heb 10:16-17)

Sermon of just scripture from the New Testament of Christ...the new agreement between God and creation...by: Benjamin Brian Stewart


Divine Patience, Godly Sorrow, and the Path to Repentance

…The Lord is not delaying the promise of His coming, as some in their own minds reckon delay; rather, He is longsuffering toward us, not desiring that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance…

…And so I rejoice—not because you were caused to sorrow, but because you sorrowed unto repentance; for you sorrowed in a godly manner, so that you were not injured by us in any way. For sorrow unto repentance before God works out salvation not to be repented of; but the sorrow of the world works out death…

…Therefore, let the one who thinks he stands take heed, lest he fall. No temptation has come upon you except what is common to mankind. For God, Who is faithful, will not permit you to be tempted beyond what you are able to bear; but with the temptation, He will make a way of escape, so that you may be able to bear it. Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry. (2Pe 3:9 2Co 7:9-10 1Co 10:12-14)

 


Distinguishing True Faith from Worldly Deception

…What then am I saying? That an idol is anything, or that which is sacrificed to an idol is anything? But that which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God; and I do not wish you to have fellowship with demons. You cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of demons. You cannot partake of the table of the Lord, and the table of demons. Now do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?

…By this test you can know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God. And every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not from God. And this is the spirit of antichrist, which you heard was to come, and even now it is already in the world. You are of God, little children, and have overcome them because greater is He Who is in you than the one who is in the world. They are of the world; because of this, they speak of the world, and the world listens to them…

…Do not love the world, nor the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him Because everything that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pretentious pride of physical life—is not from the Father, but is from the world. And the world and its lust is passing away, but the one who does the will of God abides forever…(1Co 10:19-22 1Jn 4:2-5 1Jn 2:15-17)

 


The Divine Promise and the Inevitability of Judgment

…And He Who sits on the throne said, "Behold, I make all things new." Then He said to me, "Write, for these words are true and faithful." And He said to me, "It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the one who thirsts, I will give freely of the fountain of the water of life. The one who overcomes shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be My son. But the cowardly, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone; which is the second death…

…How much worse punishment do you think he will deserve who has trampled underfoot the Son of God, and has regarded the blood of the covenant, with which he was sanctified, as an unholy thing, and has scorned the Spirit of grace? For we know Him Who has said, " 'Vengeance belongs to Me. I will recompense!' says the Lord." And again, "The Lord will judge His people." It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God…

For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ so that each one may receive according to the things done in his body—what he has practiced, whether good or evil…(Rev 21:5-8 Heb 10:29-31 2Co 5:10)

 

Living and Dying Unto the Lord: Accountability and Confession Before God

…For no one among us lives to himself, and no one dies to himself. For if we live, we should live unto the Lord; and if we die, we should die unto the Lord. So then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's. It is for this very purpose that Christ both died and rose and is living again, so that He might be Lord over both the dead and the living. Now then, why do you judge your brother? Or why do you despise your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ Because it is written, " 'For as I live,' says the Lord, 'every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall confess to God.' " So then, each one of us shall give account of himself to God…

…That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of beings in heaven and on earth and under the earth, And every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father…

…Jesus Christ said…Now then, whoever shall confess Me before men, that one will I also confess before My Father Who is in heaven. But whoever shall deny Me before men, that one will I also deny before My Father, Who is in heaven. (Rom 14:7-12 Php 2:10-11 Mat 10:32-33)

 

The Transformative Power of Baptism and Faith in Christ

…Or are you ignorant that we, as many as were baptized into Christ Jesus, were baptized into His death? Therefore, we were buried with Him through the baptism into the death ; so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, in the same way, we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been conjoined together in the likeness of His death, so also shall we be in the likeness of His resurrection…

…Having been buried with Him in baptism, by which you have also been raised with Him through the inner working of God, Who raised Him from the dead. For you, who were once dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has now made alive with Him, having forgiven all your trespasses…

…That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth one confesses unto salvation Because the scripture says, "Everyone who believes in Him shall not be ashamed." For there is no difference between Jew and Greek, because the same Lord of all is rich toward all who call upon Him. For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Rom 6:3-5 Col 2:12-13 Rom 10:9-13)

 

The Great Commission and Ascension of Jesus

Jesus said… And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to the whole creation. The one who believes and is baptized shall be saved, but the one who does not believe shall be condemned. And these signs shall follow those who believe: in My name they shall cast out demons; they shall speak with new languages; They shall remove serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them in any way; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover."

…After speaking to them, the Lord was indeed then taken up into heaven, and He sat down at the right hand of God. (Mar 16:15-19)
