If God is your co-pilot...then swap seats...

Blessed are those who do God’s will not those who know His will…

Jesus said…Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but the one who is doing the will of My Father, Who is in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy through Your name? And did we not cast out demons through Your name? And did we not perform many works of power through Your name? And then I will confess to them, I never knew you. Depart from Me, you who work lawlessness…

…But while He (Jesus) was still speaking to the multitudes, behold, mother and His brothers were standing outside, seeking to speak with Him. Then one said to Him, Behold, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, seeking to speak with You. But He (Jesus) answered and said to him, Who is My mother? And who are My brothers? And stretching out His hand to His disciples, He said, Behold, My mother and My brothers. For whoever shall do the will of My Father, Who is in heaven, that one is My brother and sister and mother…

…In the same way also, faith, if it does not have works, is dead, by itself. But someone is going to say, You have faith, and I have works. My answer is: You prove your faith to me through your works, and I will prove my faith to you through my works. Do you believe that God is one? You do well to believe this. Even the demons believe—and tremble in fear. But are you willing to understand, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead? (Mat 7:21-23  Mat 12:46-50  Jas 2:17-20)

 

 

We must all appear before the Judgement Seat of Jesus Christ…

…Now when the Son of man (Jesus) shall come in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then shall He sit upon the throne of His glory; And He shall gather before Him all the nations; and He shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. And He shall set the sheep at His right hand, but the goats at His left…

…Then shall the King say to those at His right hand, Come, you who are blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you took Me in; I was naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me. Then shall the righteous answer Him, saying, Lord, when did we see You hungry, and fed You? Or thirsty, and gave You a drink? And when did we see You a stranger, and took You in? Or naked, and clothed You? And when did we see You sick, or in prison, and came to You? And answering, the King shall say to them, Truly I say to you, inasmuch as you have done it to one of the least of these My brethren, you have done it to Me…

…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. (Rom 14:10-12  Mat 25:31-40)

 

 

Always be a blessing not a curse…

A new commandment I give to you: that you love one another in the same way that I have loved you, that is how you are to love one another. By this shall everyone know that you are My disciples—if you love one another…

…You have heard that it was said, You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy. But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who despitefully use you and persecute you, So that you yourselves may be the children of your Father Who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust…

…Do not render to anyone evil for evil, but be prepared to do what is right in the sight of all men. If possible, as much as is your part, be at peace with all men. Beloved, do not avenge yourselves; rather, leave this to Gods wrath; for it is written,  Vengeance is Mine! I will recompense, says the Lord. Therefore, if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him drink; for in doing this you will be heaping coals of fire on his head. Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good… (Joh 13:34-35 Mat 5:43-45 Rom 12:17-21)

 

 

Do not fall to temptation but abide in the will of God…

…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…

…Blessed is the man who endures trials because, after he has been proved, he shall receive a crown of life, which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. Do not let anyone who is tempted say, I am being tempted by God because God is not tempted by evil, and He Himself tempts no one with evil. But each one is tempted when he is drawn away and is enticed by his own lust. And after lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is completely finished, brings forth death…

…Therefore, what fruit did you have then in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end result of those things is death. But now that you have been delivered from sin and have become servants of God, you have your fruit unto sanctification, and the end result is eternal life. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord. (1Co 10:12-14 Jas 1:12-15 Rom 6:21-23)

Who is the Greatest in the Kingdom of God…

Who is the Greatest in the Kingdom of God…


…At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, "Who then is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?" And after calling a little child to Him, Jesus set him in their midst, And said, "Truly I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, there is no way that you shall enter into the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever shall humble himself as this little child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoever shall receive one such little child in My name receives Me. But whoever shall cause one of these little ones who believe in Me to offend, it would be better for him that a millstone be hung around his neck and he be sunk in the depths of the sea…For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, so that everyone who believes in Him may not perish, but may have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world that He might judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him…But what God had before announced by the mouth of all His prophets, that Christ should suffer, He has accordingly fulfilled. Therefore, repent and be converted in order that your sins may be blotted out, so that the times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord; And that He may send Him Who was before proclaimed to you, Jesus Christ…(Mat 18:1-6 Joh 3:16-17 Act 3:18-20)


…For this is good and acceptable before God our Savior, Who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one Mediator between God and men—the Man Christ Jesus… Although He was a Son, yet He learned obedience from the things that He suffered; And having been perfected, He became the Author of eternal salvation to all those who obey Him…For because He Himself has suffered, having been tempted in like manner, He is able to help those who are being tempted… Having therefore a great High Priest, Who has passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, we should hold fast the confession of our faith. For we do not have a high priest who cannot empathize with our weaknesses, but One Who was tempted in all things according to the likeness of our own temptations; yet He was without sin. Therefore, we should come with boldness to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need… (1Ti 2:3-5 Heb 5:8-9 Heb 2:18 Heb 4:14-16)


Follow the Law of Moses or Jesus Christ’s new agreement called the New Testament of Christ…


…For the law was given through Moses, and the grace and the truth came through Jesus Christ… Why then the law? It was placed alongside the promises for the purpose of defining transgressions, until the Seed should come to whom the promise was made, having been ordained through angels in the hand of a mediator… In this way, the law was our tutor to lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith. But since faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor Because you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ did put on Christ…(Joh 1:17 Gal 3:19 Gal 3:24-27)


…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. Knowing this, that our old man was co-crucified with Him in order that the body of sin might be destroyed, so that we might no longer be enslaved to sin…For I say through the grace that was given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think with sound-mindedness, as God has divided to each one a measure of faith…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…(Rom 6:3-6 Rom 12:3 Heb 11:6)


…In the same way also, faith, if it does not have works, is dead, by itself… 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….So then, faith comes by hearing, and hearing through the Word of God…But if Christ is being preached, that He rose from the dead, how is it that some among you are saying that there is no resurrection of the dead? For if there is no resurrection from the dead, neither has Christ been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain, and your faith is also in vain…(Jas 2:17 Rom 10:9-11, 17 1Co 15:12-14)


Jesus is reigning on the right hand of God until the end comes and after His enemies are made His footstool…


But on the other hand, of the Son He says, "Your throne, O God, is into the ages of eternity; a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom. You loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; because of this, God, even Your God, has anointed You with the oil of gladness above Your companions." And, "You, Lord, in the beginning did lay the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of Your hands. They will perish, but You remain forever; and they will all grow old like a garment, And You will roll them up like a covering, and they shall be changed; but You are the same, and Your years will not end." But unto which of the angels did He ever say, "Sit at My right hand, until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet"?…Afterwards the end comes, when He shall have delivered up the kingdom to Him Who is God and Father, when He shall have put an end to all rule and all authority and power. For it is ordained that He reign until He has put all enemies under His feet. The last enemy to be destroyed is death…And to you, who are persecuted, rest with us, at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with His mighty angels, Dealing out vengeance with flaming fire upon those who do not know God, and those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ; Who will suffer the penalty of eternal destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of His strength…(Heb 1:8-13 1Co 15:24-26 2Th 1:7-9)


…Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away, and there was no more sea. And I, John, saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice from heaven say, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men; and He shall dwell with them, and they shall be His people; and God Himself shall be with them and be their God. And God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there shall not be any more death, or sorrow, or crying; neither shall there be any more pain, because the former things have passed away."…

…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."…And he said to me, "These words are faithful and true; and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent His angel to show His servants the things that must shortly come to pass. Behold, I am coming quickly. Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book."… And the Spirit and the bride say, "Come." And let the one who hears say, "Come." And let the one who thirsts come; and let the one who desires partake of the water of life freely. For I jointly testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book, that if anyone adds to these things, God shall add to him the plagues that are written in this book. And if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the book of life, and from the holy city, and from the things that are written in this book. He Who testifies these things says, "Surely, I am coming quickly." Amen . Even so, come, Lord Jesus. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. (Rev 21:1-8 Rev 22:6-7 Rev 22:17-21)

The book of Mormon is of the devil…a perversion of the truth of Jesus Christ of Nazareth...

The book of Mormon is of the devil…a perversion of the truth of Jesus Christ of Nazareth...

 

Joeseph Smith lived in the past when the only Authority or source of Scripture was a King James Bible…or the Greek manuscripts of the New Testament of Christ. Joeseph Smith was supposed to be obedient to the message found in the New Testament of Christ because it is Scripture…Holy Scripture he was bound to keep but did not obey the following scripture…

 

Listen to what is written…

I am astonished that you are so quickly being turned away from Him Who called you into the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, Which in reality is not another gospel; but there are some who are troubling you and are desiring to pervert the gospel of Christ. But if we, or even an angel from heaven, should preach a gospel to you that is contrary to what we have preached, LET HIM BE ACCURSED! As we have said before, I also now say again. If anyone is preaching a gospel contrary to what you have received, LET HIM BE ACCURSED! Now then, am I striving to please men, or God? Or am I motivated to please men? For if I am yet pleasing men, I would not be a servant of Christ. Gal 1:6-10

 

This was the instruction for Joeseph Smith to obey in his day before he was tempted and fell…instead he had a “angel” reveal so called new revelation…a new gospel…on plates of gold. The angel was no messenger of God because no angel ever used a prop of gold…they spoke the message…not revealed it on golden plates. Joeseph smith then being disobedient to the Holy Bible wrote and repeated the perversion as the truth and supplementing it with the real truth of the Holy Bible…becoming the book of Mormon.

 

Is this the name of the fallen angel which tempted Joeseph Smith…Mormon? Who like satan tempted the truth of God but was not subtle tempting Joseph Smith with a direct contradiction of scripture…satan being subtle added one word…not…a barely noticeable lie…where as this angel was a bold direct contradiction of the truth.

 

Jesus Christ said…For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, so that everyone who believes in Him may not perish, but may have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world that He might judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. The one who believes in Him is not judged, but the one who does not believe has already been judged because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God…

…And this is the judgment: that the light has come into the world, but men loved darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. For everyone who practices evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, so that his works may not be exposed; But the one who practices the truth comes to the light, so that his works may be manifested (made known), that they have been accomplished by the power of God…Joh 3:16-21

 

Jesus said…If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers and sisters, and, in addition, his own life also, he cannot be My disciple. And whoever does not carry his cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple…(Luk 14:26-27)

Do you renounce all forms of creation and surrender all the Jesus the Christ of Nazareth (Acts 22:8)…the Only Human Son our Creator ever Fathered Who died on the cross and was raised from the dead…yes or no?

 

It is written… And Jesus 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. And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the Word by the signs that followed. Amen. (Mar 16:15-20)

 

Prayer

Father please confirm this truth to us by cleaning us from all evil in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
