3daysWhere do I begin? There has been so much spreading around the web about 3 days of darkness coming then after this in 7 weeks the rapture will occur. I want to make something perfectly clear here up front! THIS IS A LIE FROM THE PIT OF HELL!
So where did all these ideas come from in my opinion. Did they come from modern-day prophets? I think not! But you know how things get spread around between people. And I think there are some well-meaning people spreading these misleading around too! Take for example, If if tell you something then you tell that person something , then they tell someone, and on and on. It gets very distorted to where it is something totally different in the end! I am sure you have seen that before.
Then I am convinced more than this there are the doctrine of demons being sent out to discredit the cause of Christ. Think about it for one minute! The 3 days of darkness prophecy is currently connected with the Rapture of the Church! This is supposed to happen 7 weeks after the darkness! So what happens when this doesn’t happen? Everyone goes “See the Rapture is hogwash and those so-called Christians saying it’s going to happen can’t be trusted! ” I am convinced that this is the true intention of all this. Even if you think you know the truth!
So where did the 3 days of darkness come from? First off there are 2 major Catholic prophecies link to this. One is the prophecy of (Blessed Anna Maria Taigi) this is what she said in Rome in 1863. “God will send two punishments: one will be in the form of wars, revolutions and other evils; it shall originate on earth. The other will be sent from Heaven. There shall come over the whole earth an intense darkness lasting three days and three nights. Nothing can be seen, and the air will be laden with pestilence which will claim mainly, but not only, the enemies of religion. It will be impossible to use any man-made lighting during this darkness, except blessed candles. He, who out of curiosity, opens his window to look out, or leaves his home, will fall dead on the spot. During these three days, people should remain in their homes, pray the Rosary and beg God for mercy. All the enemies of the Church, whether known or unknown, will perish over the whole earth during that universal darkness, with the exception of a few whom God will soon convert. The air shall be infected by demons who will appear under all sorts of hideous forms.”
(Blessed Anna Maria Taigi, Private Prophecies, Rome, 1863)

So does this sound familiar? Three days of darkness, remain in your homes.
There is also a prophecy of the Catholic Church that is from Elisabeth Canori-Mora that is similar to the one about concerning the last Pope. Its called the coming of the Angelic Pope, but I have a better name for it! Lightening was going to fall from heaven and the new pope was going to be surrounded by wolves . This supposedly happened when lightning struck St. Peters church when Pope Benedict resigned recently. But the whole thing behind this is God was going to cover the Earth with 3 days of darkness to warn the masses that the Apocalypse had come!
And as recent as 1958 A.D. the Prophetic Vision of Sr. Elena Aiello, Foundress of The Sister Minims. December 8th expounded on the Prophecy of (Blessed Anna Maria Taigi)!
We are not done yet! As recently as September 18th 2013 this was predicted over in Australia. 3 days of darkness was to occur because of 3 planets were to lineup and cause Great earthquakes to occur thus causing the Apocalypse to happen.
NOW FOR THE KICKER! This is a big one! I know how much you all love the Quran.! In Quran 27:82
Quran 27:82, etc., also describes Dabbah al-Ard, “A Creature from the Earth.”. His appearance will be heralded by the fore mentioned three days of darkness and a shift of the Earth’s axis of rotation: “And when the word comes to pass against them, We shall bring forth a Creature from the Earth, Dabbah al-Ard, that will speak to them, because people did not believe in our messages. “After Dajjal and Yajuj and Majuj have passed away, the entire world will believe in Islam and praise Allah. Much later, Islam will decline again, to a lower extent than during the time of Dajjal. Suddenly, Allah will darken the whole world with smoke; the night will last 72 hours or longer. The sun will rise in the west, instead of the east, and it will travel only one-third of its course before setting again. On the next day, the sun and moon will resume their normal course. “This will be the last opportunity to repent to Allah, for then he will close the door of mercy. The Earth will quake and Mt. Safaa near Mecca will split open. Dabbah al-Ard will come forth from the crack. His face will be human, but with horns on his head; his body as a horse, his legs like a camel’s while his rump is of a deer, and his tail is of a cow. He will be 60 cubits tall. In one of his monkey hands he will hold the staff of Moses, and on the other hand he will wear the ring of Solomon. He will stride the Earth at great speed, and as he travels he will mark the forehead of believers with the staff of Moses [Mu’mim]. Their faces will then shine bright as the moon. But the unbelievers will be stamped with Solomon’s ring, and their faces will become black and horrible. Thus will the believers and unbelievers be distinguished. Then Dabbah al-Ard will disappear as suddenly as he manifested. Then Allah will hold the Day of Judgment.” ISON

This one states that if you don’t convert to Islam you will be destroyed! The 3 days of darkness are for you all to repent to Allah! If you do you will receive a mark on your forehead that you belong to Allah! If you know me at all you know my feelings about Allah!
Now who is Dabbh al-Ard? It is supposed to be a monster type being who speaks in every language that will visit everyone on Earth, that is over 120 ft long! This is where ISON COMES IN!
FOLKS HOW CAN I SAY THIS! STOP BEING FOOLS BELIEVING EVERY WHIM OF DOCTRINE OUT THERE! The Lord will take care of His own. But the thing is do you belong to Him. Give your life to the Lord, Repent from your sins, change your mind about living a sinful life! Make Jesus Christ your Lord and Saviour by Faith. It is only Gods grace that we can even come to him if we turn from Sin and ask forgiveness of all the sin in our life! God is a righteous Holy God and Man is a sinner ! You need a Savior! Jesus Christ paid that price on the cross for you . But you must receive His free gift of forgiveness and eternal life! If you refuse! You are doomed to an eternity in Hell! STOP BEING A FOOL and trust Christ to forgive you and give you a home in heaven by Faith! Choose wisely!
14 Then the LORD said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart. 15 Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the prophets that prophesy in my name, and I sent them not, yet they say, Sword and famine shall not be in this land; By sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed. 16 And the people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword; and they shall have none to bury them, them, their wives, nor their sons, nor their daughters: for I will pour their wickedness upon them.
Jer 14:14-16 (KJV)

out of fire

Does that really seem like a strange question to you?  It really isn’t! Some of you know you should give your life to the Lord Jesus Christ and you are not because of your husband wife, boyfriend girlfriend , friends or family members! YOU ARE AFRAID OF WHAT THEY WOULD SAY OR DO BECAUSE YOU KNOW YOUR LIFE WOULD HAVE TO CHANGE!

Isn’t that Right?

So let’s say you have a wife or husband, that doesn’t want to give their life to Jesus and ask Him to be your Lord and Savior. You have already weighed out in your mind what you think would happen because they want nothing to do with God! OH they may be religious and say they believe in God. But you deep down inside know they would go off the deep end if you became a true Christian. Because you know to be a born again Christian as the Bible talks about your life must change. You know you must obey Gods word and start living a righteous holy life!

You know some of the places you go now , like the restaurant and bars the two of you go now to drink alcohol to get a buzz would not be happening for you! After all what would the two of you do to entertain yourselves now. You know you would probably not be going to VEGAS to gamble and drink any more either. Or for that matter to the casinos in your state to get drunk and spend cash!  Some of you may even go to strip clubs or shows that you know you could not go to now either! Like I said “What would you do?”

What shows on TV would the two of you watch now , if you got saved and now are obedient to the Bible about watching what you allow your eyes to see. You would have to give up shows that display nudity, and out right cursing and blasphemy of your Lord Jesus Christ. Would you continue to watch shows that promote a life style of promiscuous sex( sex outside of marriage) and affairs in marriage? Would you continue to watch shows that promote the homosexual life style that is a sin to the God of the Bible?

I am just touching the tip of the iceberg here about the complications of giving your life to Jesus Christ and the other one not!  You have all ready thought about the fact they may not go to church with you. And you will read your Bible by yourself.

SO WHY AM I MAKING A BIG DEAL OUT OF THIS? MAYBE EVEN BIGGER THAN IT REALLY MIGHT BE ? Because are you really going to follow your mate, friends or family to hell? CHANGE IS CERTAIN IF YOU GIVE YOUR LIFE TO THE LORD! IT HAS TO HAPPEN! NO ONE MEETS JESUS UNLESS THEIR LIFE CHANGES , AND YOU BECOME A NEW CREATION IN CHRIST JESUS ! That is what being Born Again is all about!

So what did Jesus have to say about you following someone to HELL?

26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. 27 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. Luke14:25-27 (KJV)

So what did he mean? Jesus was talking about the degree of LOVE for Him compared to the love for others when it comes to following Him and obedience! Did He want you to hate all those other people? NO! But He wants you to put HIM ABOVE ALL OF THEM!  And like Jesus said, You will bear a cross if you follow Him. What reaction , persecution, hatred will the others in your life say and do to you! It will cost you friends and family members possibly! And You will not be doing the things that you did before when you were disobedient and sinning against God!

Theres a saying and I will use it here! ” If God brings you to it , he will bring you through it! ”  In other words when you give your life to the Lord and choose to obey Him, and you ask Him to forgive you of the sins you commited against Him in your life.  He will be with you in all you do from this moment on. He will get you through all of what will happen in your life. Does Jesus promise you a bed of roses? Absolutely NOT! The Christian Life is a series of ups and downs , good and bad , but the Lord will get you through it in His strength if you let Him! He promises to never leave you now forsake you and to love you unto death and forever! He promises to give you a home in heaven and reward you for the things you are obedient about here. And the FINAL THING that He promises is you WILL NOT GO TO HELL IF HE IS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR ! He will give you a peace and joy of knowing that the destination of ending up in HELL is no longer an opinion!

So would are you ready to give Jesus Christ your all and make Him your Savior and Lord? You can not afford not too! Remember the Lord will be with you at all times after you are Born Again! The Holy Spirit of God will come to live in you the moment you ask forgiveness of your sins and Repent with a new heart and attitude toward the sin in your life! You will be willing to obey Him and turn from your sinful ways if this is real in your life! So are you ready to be heaven bound? A True Christian ? Go to this link and do what it says and mean it with all your soul and might! Do it now! OK? http://www.needgod.com

I know I didn’t go into details about the changes that would change if you went against a friend or family member . But I’m sure you can come up with a list of your own. You know things would have to change between you!

YOU KNOW this life is a training ground for having a real relationship with God. Thats why God sent Jesus Christ His Son to Earth to die for your sins and mine!

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. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. John 3:16-21 (KJV)

SO HAVING SAID ALL THAT , WHAT WILL YOUR DECISION BE? JESUS CHRIST AS LORD AND SAVIOR ? Or Hell because you are putting others in front of God ? And Because you rejected Gods provision for your sinfulness , Jesus who shed His blood on the cross for your sins! CHOOSE WISELY! Bow your head right NOW and ASK Jesus to forgive your sins, save you from hell, and to come into your life and change you into the person He intented you to be ! Don’t delay! Now is the day of Salvation!

Wealthy
The Jesus Christ I talk about would never promise you a Mercedes Benz because you ask Him! He wants to give you riches in heaven where Moths and rust can not touch them! If this is your reason to come to the Lord I praise & worship , you my friend are worshipping the things of this world!

15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.1 John 2:14-17 (KJV)

The Jesus Christ I talk about would never promise you money like the TV preachers do today! They my friend are wolves in sheeps clothing promising you to sow a seed of faith into their pockets so they can see your money flow from you to their bank account! The Jesus I praise and worship promises you a mansion in Heaven and never any Earthly thing. It is his intention to lead you to holiness and to do the Fathers will!

12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. 13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. 14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.Romans 6:12-14 (KJV)

The Jesus I talk about would never tell you to be a better YOU! As some of the preachers today tell in there gospel . They say come to Jesus to be happy, rich, a better life, all your problems will go away ! I can tell you thats not the Jesus Christ of the Bible. Jesus never intended you to be a better you. He wants you to be a ‘New Creation in Christ Jesus, himself!”

17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.2 Cor 5:17 (KJV)
The truth is no good thing resides in us. We are all sinners in need of a Savior Jesus Christ!
23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ JesusRomans 3:23-24 (KJV)
The reason you are to be redeemed by Jesus Christ is because you my friend are to be conformed into the likeness of Him!
29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Romans 8:29 (KJV)

And how did God plan on doing this? Not by my being positive, or being a better you through some hocus pocus, but in this manner through the reading of His Word!

1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Romans 12:1-2 (KJV)

Now this point is very needed today! The new gospel which is the false gospel says come to Jesus for happiness. Right now I need to point out these scriptures about the Life of the Apostle Paul. And you tell me if this is what you bargained for by being a follower of Jesus Christ?

. 23 Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I am more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft. 24 Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one. 25 Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep; 26 In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren; 27 In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.2 Cor 11:23-27 (KJV)

This is coming from one of the most annointed apostles ever. Does this look like a happy life here on Earth to You ? I think not , but the reward was great in heaven.
Jesus said that they hated Him and they would hate you also!

12 Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death. 13 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.Mark 13:12-13 (KJV)

SO I ASK YOU AGAIN WHAT JESUS ARE YOU FOLLOWING ? the one the TV preachers are telling you to follow ? May be this is your own minister? If it is get out of that church and run as far away as possible.

The Jesus Christ I talk about is the Jesus of the Bible who is telling you to bear your own cross! You will be hated by men, turn from your sins and repent as the Lord leads. promises you no riches here on this Earth, because the world is not your home. He tells you to put your hand to the plow and never turn back to look at the things of this world again!

If you Confess this Jesus before men , He will confess you before His Father in heaven. He promises to come again and recieve you unto Himself! Amen ! Heaven is your home when the work is done!
If you confess the other Jesus the one who is a false god, who has you focusing on money, the things of this world , the lusts, the pride of life, this is all you get ! Then after you life is done, your reward for all your efforts is H E L L ! Because this Jesus is your idol and god you created that can not save you from damnation!

SO WHICH JESUS DO YOU CHOOSE ? Choose wisely my friend!

lake of Fire 3SO YOU SAY YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN! That is one thing you really do not want to be mistaken about do you? WHY? Because the Bible says the “Wages of sin is death” Rom. 6:23. The second death mentioned in the Bible is the LAKE OF FIRE Rev. 20:14 ! From all I have read about Hell it’s not a place anyone in their right mind would want to end up there!

I really needed to back up here for one moment. Starting from the beginning, Why does anyone need Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord? Because the Bible says
23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; Romans 3:23-25 (KJV)
This verse says simply this..that everyone has sinned. We have all broken Gods Holy commands or acted out of accord with Gods actions for living right before Him. Ok so let me ask you this have you ever lied? You would be a liar if you said you haven’t! Ever stolen or taken anything that you didn’t pay for or didn’t belong to you no matter the value? We have all taken something that didn’t belong to us thus making us thieves in our lives. OK now for A BIG ONE! Ever looked at someone with lust, kind of undressed them in your mind? Desired to see them naked or next to you sexually? Did you know Jesus said
27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: 28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. Matt 5:27-28 (KJV)
I think you get my point ! And this is just a few of many many examples of sin in our lives! We are all sinners in Gods eyes and we are all under the wrath of God without Jesus Christ!
36 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.John 3:36 (KJV) Wrath is just another word for JUDGMENT!

So if I may have the liberty of asking YOU a few questions about your experience of coming to Jesus Christ or Salvation! First off is it Jesus Christ alone that you are putting your totally faith and trust in as Savior ? Lets hope you are not trusting in your Good Behavior or Works.
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. Eph 2:8-9 (KJV)
These verse make it very clear , that you will never ever get into heaven by your good works! We can not add anything to the work Jesus did on the cross! It was His blood and death that is saving your from Gods Wrath or Judgment if you place your faith in Him.
Next question is this: Since you think you have become a Christian do you have a new relationship with God? Do you spend time in pray with Him? Do you praise and thank Him daily for His love and blessings He gives you? Did you know that God is worthy of all our praise and worship because He alone gives you life, breathe, blesses, health and most of all we are His creation! God is worthy simply because he is God!

Do you enjoy reading His word the Bible? This is God speaking to you! This is your food from heaven or from Him! You should desire the sincere milk of Gods word! Why? So you can grow in the knowledge of Christ Jesus and as a Christian!

Do you love to fellowship with other Christians or Believers? The Bible says
7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.1 John 4:7-8 (KJV)
If you do not like being with other Christians , YOU MY FRIEND ARE NOT BORN OF GOD!
I could go on and on here with the things that are evident if Jesus is your Lord but I will end today with this Question if I May?

Do you have a new relationship with sin? I am going to tell you one thing here! YOU CAN NOT KNOW THE LORD JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR SAVIOR AND LORD WITHOUT BEING DRASTICALLY CHANGED BY HIM!! If the Lord resides in you as the Holy Spirit you my friend will be changed and have a hatred towards sin! Because the Holy Spirit will convict you of it as you grow in the Lord! There is no way you will be the same person after meeting the Lord! You will start to live righteously before the Lord! As a follower of Christ sin no longer shall rule in your life! You can now choose to obey God! the Chains of sin has been broken in your life. You now have the power of the Holy Spirit living in you to overcome sin! So I ask you this, DO YOU DESIRE TO LIVE A HOLY LIFE NOW THAT YOU ARE HIS? If not you are still a child of the devil, and the wrath of God still is upon you!

I Ask you today to examine yourself and see if you truly trusted Jesus as your Savior and Lord? If not I challenge you to get on your knees and ask Him to Save your soul from Hell and help you to live a Holy life before Him! I am not giving you a little pray to say my friends. If you want Jesus to save you , I am sure you can find the words to say to keep you from the Fires of Hell. I say all this with the love it takes to warn you of your serious condition! Do it now! Turn to Jesus and Repent! http://www.needgod.com

You-Are-Being-Rebuilt-By-The-Holy-Spirit

The second stage of personal holiness is the exact opposite of the first stage which is this. In the first stage God provides redemption through His Son Jesus Christ. Jesus voluntarily obeyed His Father , was nailed to the cross for the sin debt of the whole world. It was His blood and death that was the only acceptable sacrifice to God for your sin. You must not trust at all in your good works and self righteous acts as part of Gods acceptance towards you for sin. God then grants you salvation and are then made HOLY in Gods eyes by your faith in his Son!

36 He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.” John 3:36 (NKJV)

Now in Gods mind you are made Holy! God forgives all your sin, never to be condemned anymore for it. He seperates you from the world and those who have rejected him , He seperates you unto Himself and you are now Holy! Now you are made sons and daughters of God supernaturally and joint heirs with Christ! God removes you from the kingdom of darkness , and sets you in the heavenly places and kingdom of light! You are no longer under Gods Wrath and Damnation, and he gives you eternal life and Salvation! Praise God ! No greater feeling than to know that you are a TRUE Child of God. Amen!
The problem comes in this second part when in your mind you do not know if you are truly Holy in Gods mind! I just told you what it takes to be Holy in Gods mind . Now have you made the decision to trust Jesus for your eternal redemption from sin? This is something you must absolutely be certain of! If you are not sure, you need to start by asking Jesus to Forgive you and give you eternal life by placing your faith and trust in Him as the ONLY way to heaven!

6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:6 (KJV)

8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast. Eph 2:8-9 (NKJV)

Once you are sure that God sees you as being Holy then you can move forward with step 2 seeing yourself as being Holy in your own mind! Here we voluntarily respond to Gods love for us , and then devote ourselves to Him above all others. You see here you make the decision to Seperate yourself unto the Lord totally , in all your ways and give yourself whole heartedly to the Lord and live for Him.
To help you understand this better I am going to show how some people are Holy in Gods mind . But they don’t really seem Holy in their actions and what they do. They have never really made the commitment back to God to be Seperated from the things of this world. They may still play with fire and sin . They see living the Christian life as hard , a set of rules , which it is not! REALLY IT’S A CONDITION OF THE HEART! . It takes your Commitment to God to live a Holy life with the power of the Holy Spirit ! Many of you are just trying to get by with FIRE INSURANCE! Just trying to escape HELL! Thats a really good reason to trust Jesus Christ , because Hell is a horrible place to spend eternity.But You will never, ever feel secure in your faith I’m sure of it. And you may not even be truly saved from Hell. Only God knows. Many of you will be judged by others as not being saved, because of the Life you live. We can not possibly know your heart like only the Lord can !
If this is you , get right with God! Turn from sin and Repent! You will never mature in your Christian walk with God. This world is your place to prepare for eternity with the Lord. There are rewards to be recieved and you are suppose to be running a race to finish victorious! Don’t you really want the Lord to say to you ” Well done you good and faithfull servant” ? Or do you really want to enter heaven ashamed of wasting your life that God gave you? Maybe getting in to heaven smelling like smoke! Do you know what that means? That means you almost ended up in HELL! Nothing to show for the mercy the Lord has shown to you ! But my friend don’t be fooled , some of you think you are going to be in heaven when you die and YOU WILL NOT BE !

Many are still believing they can love this world , dive into their sins of choice and still go to heaven. Many still believe that maybe God will see the good they have done or great deeds, that will be enough. God does not have a gaint scale and weigh out the GOOD and BAD that you have done. There is nothing in Gods Word to state that! Don’t be fooled NO ONE WILL SEE GOD BECAUSE OF THEIR GOOD WORKS ! Its only by the GRACE of the Lord that you are even given Gods mercy to know the truth about Salvation! And yet some of you have hardened your hearts by sin and disbelief you may never see the Light of the Gospel of Salvation!

So what must you do to be Holy in your own mind? Read this verse:
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Romans 12:1-2 (KJV)

If you want to be a person of HOLINESS you my friend MUST present your body a living sacrifice unto God. I have to say something here. I can not imagine any one who claims to love the Lord , not wanting to be Holy, and living a Holy life! If that is you , please get on your knees and Repent, turn from your sinful lifestyle! What does it look like to present your body as a living sacrifice? Back in the old Testament unblemished, spotless Lambs were placed on an alter and killed for the sins of the people . Jesus Christ lived a perfect life while He was on Earth and then Died for your sins and mine. And then rose again to New Life and is seated in the heavenly at the right hand of the Father! So that we do not have to suffer eternal death in hell and seperation from God for our sins. Yes , Jesus had to die as the perfect lamb of God.
The Bible says 23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.Romans6:23(KJV)
It says to that without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sin. No forgiveness , No taking away from Gods presence!
Back to the verse above you must present yourself a living sacrifice . not a dead sacrifice if Jesus Christ paid your sin debt for you. HE died for you! NOW YOU LIVE FOR HIM ! If you are His you owe this to Him. Jesus left you here to do His will. To tell others about Him . To Die to self , to live the life He wants you to live now for Him. You are not to live a self-centered life but for Him and others!

Have you ever crawled on the alter of God and gave your whole heart and life to Him? If not , you need to decide to do this! If your not ready start begging God to prepare you to give your life away to His service ! You will never regret doing it ! Many of you will say you can’t live this kind of life and you are correct! You must commit your whole person to the Lord and He will give you the strength to live this life. Once He becomes your life , you will never look back at the darkness and filth of this old world. What are you going to do? Live for Him or Die to self ?

The final stage of being Holy is what most of us think when we talk about being Holy. It’s living a Holy Life for the Lord. You will not want to miss this next time !
