My Lord:
Who are they that say, there is no moral reform?
Certainly no moral imperative in these verses, in the very words of the Lord and Savior. No calling to be moral, clean, clear, pure, no call for purity, or purifying, or purging, or renewal. Just believe, just have faith.
Matthew 23:25, " Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.
Matthew 23:26 Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.
Matthew 23:27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.
Matthew 23:28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. "
In that dark and terrible day of the Lord, they really think they will stand before the Lord and plead the blood. But Lord, I am born to sin, but Lord, I have a nature to sin, but Lord, you made this way, but Lord, no man can, but Lord, you obeyed for me, but Lord, I had faith, I needed not to depart from iniquity, but Lord, I cast out devils, but Lord, I am covered by grace, but Lord, I prophecy in your Name, but Lord, I believed, but Lord, I did many wonderful works, but Lord, it was not of works, but Lord, the Law was fulfilled by You so I had not a need of the Law, but Lord, I prepared not for you obeyed for me, but Lord, your finished works are mine even though I did them not.
Matthew 23:3, " All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not. "
They repeat the Truth but they do not "DO" the Truth.
My grace is sufficient, sufficient for what? To hide you as they love to say? To keep God from seeing you? Or is it that the teachings of grace and the very Lord of Salvation Jesus which tells you to deny yourselves is sufficient if you do it, if you follow Him?
2 Corinthians 12:9, " And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. "
Matthew 16:24, " Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. "
What does grace teach us?
Titus 2:12, " Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; "
Grace teaches us the very thing Christ said, if any man will go after Him, that man is to deny himself, take up their own cross and follow Him. To deny ungodliness, which the flesh desires through temptation, which is moral change and the willingness to bring ones own body into subjection, for it is NOT brought into subjection for you, nor did Christ already do it for you. To deny worldly lusts is a moral change to anyone who actually loves the Lord Jesus and is a doer, a follower of Him. Able by Him to have the strength to deny themselves out of love if they truly love Him. Out of Love you are able, if it is true. Is this not the test? The heart tested in the fires of affliction. To glorify the Lord in the fires, no matter what, good or bad, or suffering, or joy, praise ye the Lord with all your heart, mind, soul, body, might and strength.
Isaiah 24:15, " Wherefore glorify ye the LORD in the fires, even the name of the LORD God of Israel in the isles of the sea. "
Paul pleading with the Lord to remove the thorn in himself for the deeds he ungodly committed. One can only imagine the pain of that thorn, murder the people of the Lord God Almighty and knowing it. To carry that and ever evil deed one ungodly committed is a weight to bear indeed and yet compared to the burden of continuing in the ways of darkness, that burden is light indeed and can not be compared to the glory to come in the presence of the Lord. With all of that, the answer Paul received was that learning to deny himself, take up thine own cross and to follow Christ was all Paul needed and is all anyone needs to be able, to have the ability, to bring ones own body into subjection as Paul clearly writes. Refuse the evil and choose the good as God put before Cain, yet Cain refused to hearken. To deny ungodliness in any form and to know what is evil and what is good.
To deny worldly lusts and to know what is of the world and what is of God and to choose freely to call good good and evil evil. To live sober, with all gravity, all sincerity, all severity, and to be bold for God and tell the Truth in the face of a world hell bent on loving lies and illusions of a god they create. To make God into their own images, the image of corruption, is this not what they sell, being born in sin, born to sin and a god who made them to be evil, a god like the corruptible image of man, of themselves? They change God into an image of creation, into animals, beasts, creeping things. They even make themselves equal to animals or animals equal to them. If Paul did not learn a new moral reform, then there is no such thing. Paul murdered the people of God and then being reformed by the knowledge of the Lord, went and murder them no more. If this was not a profound moral change, then again, there is not any such thing as being morally changed.
To live righteously, to obey the Truth is righteous, is to live moral lives by the Commandments of God. What God calls evil is evil, what God calls good is good. There is not any doubt, like a child loving its parents, they do not doubt them when they are told. It is the hypocrisy that is found out that makes them doubt. God has no variableness, no change, what is evil today is evil tomorrow and forever, one will not ever find God to be unjust, a hypocrite that causes one to doubt. The whole reason for the purging of conscience of dead works, to you can walk in the Truth and NOT DOUBT, to be like a child. Just another one of those CONDITIONS placed upon love, you must become as a child or you WILL NOT enter into the Kingdom of God. This is the gift found in Christs sacrifice upon the cross, the reason for the blood.
To live godly lives NOW in this world, not later on down the road, but now, you are clear now, cleaned now, free now, able to do so now, you can walk in the newness of life now, bit it looks nothing like they who pretend make it look. The false witness is evil through and through and if you follow men you will never know the Truth. The Spirit of Power given by God is not a spirit of no one can, inability, unable, just a filthy rag wretch forever chief of sinners nonsense they sell. Always lusting after the flesh and giving into it. You who have been set free are fee indeed to walk as you ought to walk, as Christ walked. Not doing the sins unto death EVER! If you love Him truly this will be the case, the fact of your state of being. This will be the virtue added to ones faith, faithfulness, obedience, proof!
Romans 1:23, " And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. "
Mark 10:15, " Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein. "
People so blind and unkind to tell others they have no need of moral reform, or to deny themselves, or to bear their own crosses, or to follow Christ. How great is the darkness of a soul that teaches others the perfect opposite of the truth and then tell them they have life? Another filthy quote by the professed, "pick up your cross is not how you get or stay saved". First no one is saved until they have run the race and endured to the end. Second the gift is forgiveness of sins past and freedom to obey the Truth with a cleared conscience so one no longer is a hypocrite, having been a sinner and now through love obeying from the heart and Going and Sinning No More. So easy it is for them to accuse the truly born again not having been born again themselves but only an vain imagination of it. They do not need to do anything for they have no understanding of what to do. Bringing ones body into the example that Christ gave, his righteousness indeed found in them that actually do righteousness. Truly Christ is our righteousness, our righteous example that we are to follow unto the end and if one does not endure they WILL NOT in the end be saved. If one takes their hands from the plough/plow they ARE NOT worthy of Christ and the Kingdom of God. They who commit the sins unto death are not going to inherit anything but deaths everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord God Almighty and it is far worse then the imaginations of men could ever conjure in their minds.
Matthew 6:23, " But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! "
Luke 9:62, " And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. "
Who is saved? No one in this world is but they run the race and finish it. They who obey. They who Go and Sin No More. They who are truly born again and do the will of the Father. They who endure unto the end are saved. They who are like a child. Those who receive the gift are forgiven, reconciled with God so they can walk without hypocrisy, cleared, the clearing, to be clear in the matter that is at hand, for it is always at hand. The gift of Christ that no man can do, have their conscience cleared of dead works, for without Christ one can do nothing. I wonder who truly knows the new heart? Who can testify of what it is like to receive the new heart from God? By the testimony of the world and the worldly it ought to be many, in fact one should not be able to go a day without hearing about it, yet I spent all my life never hearing anyone proclaim it, not one. I go every day without anyone refusing to be silent so they can profess the joy of having felt the stone removed from their chest and a heart of flesh given to them, the lightness of having it. What a marvel it is, truly! Yet so many are certain they possess it.
Matthew 24:13, " But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. "
Mark 13:13, " 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. "
Happy are they counted who endure and yet the men of God are most miserable indeed. I know of many who say they love Christ and that all their hope is in Him alone, but I never hear anyone, not even one of them profess the state of being most miserable. I have and am most miserable all the time, yet all joy I do have is Christ, the knowing, no matter my state of being good or bad I praise the Lord, yet I am miserable most of the time. Being separated from Him, having tasted of His presence, something so perfect that no one will have anything like unto it in this world. Knowing I will not obtain this in this world. All I desire is to be free of this and yet knowing I must do what I was told, to tell of the Lord. Truly caught in between to things makes me miserable. So much can be said of the suffering this causes, the afflictions that wear within me. Yet I hear none ever express this, no not even one single time in all my life, and not in all of my new life in Christ as even one expressed this. I know what I was given, so I know, yet I do not want it to be so. None knew Him, they all know their own images and the false witness' that crept in unawares and they do love them that lead them astray, speak well of them that teach them lies. I do not know anything, yet the burden I bear is a burden and the burden I bear in sin was far worse and I would not switch back for any reason. I would rather bear the knowledge of the Truth and the cost it comes with then to sin for a season with anyone. To find unity of mind, why is this such a hard thing in this life filled with so many professing to be free from the bondage of sin and yet have no problem sinning, do not even blush at the idea of doing it, indeed unity is hard to find. No mourning, no crying, but laughing and rejoicing? I hope I never cease to cry in this world, to sigh and water my couch with tears, God willing Amen. I will be happy each time I find myself surrounded by temptation and I endure it. Happy are they who endure, I will be happy tomorrow but today I will continue to cry. Nothing before God, no not anything. Fight the fight, battle the battle, war the war. Do not let anyone lead you away, your crown is yours, set it not down. Let evil go, what thing is in my hand? Search me O Lord, what thing is in my hand? Always examine, always prove, always strive, always working it out for myself, they who work eat, they who work not eat not.
1 Corinthians 15:19, " If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. "
James 5:11, " Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy. "
To love anyone more than Christ and you are not worthy of Him.
Matthew 10:37, " He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. "
Is it all irresistible? If it where dogs would not return to their vomit and pigs washed would not return to the mire. Things torn down would not be built up again.
2 Peter 2:22, " But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire. "
Galatians 2:18, " For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. "
If it were irresistible then there would be no need to communicate forget not. For who can forget something irresistible?
Hebrews 13:16, " But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. "
How can one forger their sins were forgiven them if it were irresistible? Why say "OLD SINS", when the liars says, pretenders say it is past, present and future already done for you, all obeyed for you. Who is the liar, who is the Truth?
2 Peter 1:9,. " But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. "
Who are all these people who will seek to enter in but will not be able? Are these people who believe not, have faith not, do not realize that God is and the world is not what men called wise, say it is? Who are these people who absolutely believe, absolutely have faith but are told He knows them not? Who casts out devils, prophecy and do many wonderful works in the Name of Jesus and believes not, has faith not? Who names the Name of the Lord Jesus and departs not from iniquity. Who is awakened to righteousness and sins more, walks in the lust of the flesh more, has a carnal mind still, is just a filthy rag wretch chief of sinners forever?
Who is freed from sin and continues in sin? What is a dog that eats its own vomit? What is a pig that was washed and cleaned but returns to the mire and is filthy again? When does the Truth stop being the Truth? When does a lie stop being a lie? When is it worse for them that were clean, cleared, forgiven, set free but then go back to being dirty, unclear, unforgiven, no longer free? Who are these people that it would have been better for them to NEVER have known the Way, then to have known it and turned from it? The Truth is absolute and the lie is absolute. When one is freed from sin truly, born again and received the new heart they are NO LONGER a filthy rag unable to do what is righteous but are freed to be SERVANTS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. To be a servant is what? To be dedicated to one thing and that thing only. To be moral, to be changed from a servant of sin (immoral) to a servant of righteousness (moral) and bound to that change. Bound so much to it that death can not change you back, the fire of trials can not change you back, no person, no relation, no nothing in all the world will stop you from the one Path that is morally right, walking in the peace and safety found only in Christ and in no other.

Who is reborn, born of God and sins? Who loves Christ and will not obey Him? Who loves the Truth and refuse to hear the Truth?
1 John 3:9, " Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. "
Who yields themselves to God and equally to sin? Who boasts of doing this and why is it that this witness I have heard all my life and can hear it every single day without pause from at least one person. Without fail! Who says they are servants of God but will also tell you they are servants of unrighteousness and have no choice but to be, yet they love God with all they can? If you are ALIVE FROM THE DEAD, born again, set free, crucified with Christ and your affections and lusts, then where does all the testimonies come from of being set free and yet continue in flesh, continue to be carnal. How is one carnal sold under sin and death, yet are magically instruments of righteousness unto God? Who partakes of the divine nature but partakes of the evil nature? What tree that is evil produces good fruit? Who can share the cups and still love only one? Who has two master and loves them both? Who has the new heart given them by God and then can say they have an infinitely wicked heart still? Who can be reformed, reshaped into an image of God and still possess the image of corruption? Who is a liar, who is lying, who is pretending, who gives an outward appearance but inwardly they are white washed tombs filled with dead mens bones? Who loves God but has no moral transformation. What is a new life that has no moral compass pointing to that new life. Who makes provisions for their flesh to fulfill the lust and yet is free from sin? How many contradictions can one single person live with and remain completely unaware of those contradictions? How great is a strong delusion given by the Lord God Almighty to them that have pleasure in unrighteousness and them that do unrighteousness? So great men will lay with men? Women will lay with women? Parents will teach their own children to do the same. So great that mankind will lay with animals. So great that man will rip unborn babies into pieces out of the womb and they will be esteemed as good men. It is freedom of choice, that is freewill. Free to do evil or free to do good. Free to rule over your flesh or free to walk in the lust of it. Free to hearken unto God and His Commandments or free to ignore them and make your own up. Free to love the One True Living God or free to make your own god. Free to yield yourselves as servants of righteousness or free to sin unto death.
Romans 6:13, " 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. "
Who are these people who stand before God and say "God I was created by You to sin"? How can I God Almighty Repent of what you made me to be?

Who are these people who turn upside down the Truth? Who are these people who promise life when it is death? Who are these people who strengthen the hands of the sinners? Who are they who say peace and safety? Who are these people who doeth the work of the Lord deceitfully? Who are these people that say evil will deliver them?

Psalms 106:39, " Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions. "
Ecclesiastes 7:29, " Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions. "
Has God not made all men upright, but they are them that tell you of your nature to sin. They are they that tell you you are born to sin. They are they that tell you that you are a born sinner. They are they that tell you of your total depravity and your moral depravity. They are they that tell you once your saved you are always saved, and that sin does not separate you from the love of God. They are they who say you do not need to have morals or to obey, that nothing is required of anyone but lip service and to say they believe or have faith. They are they who turn the Words of God into emptiness having no value, no power, no ability, never able, but forever failing. They are they that promise liberty when they serve corruption and anyone who serves corruption are not free, are not forgiven, are not going to win the race, for you must endure till the end. They are they that say you need not endure. They are they that say your sins are already forgiven you not just past, but present, and future. They are they that make provisions for the flesh to fulfill the lust thereof. They are they that turn the Grace of God into lasciviousness, liberty, license to sin. They are they that say you need not Go and Sin No More. They are they that say Seek, Repent and Sin No More is not from the Lord. They are they that say you do not need to deny yourselves, take up your crosses and follow Christ, that you are saved in the end no matter what. They are they that say there is no hell, or that it is temporary, or just annihilation, or an instant never was. They are they that contradict everything the word of God sayeth and add and take from it. They are they that say the nine Commandments. They are they that say the Law is void. They are they that say no one can. They are they that look like sheep but are indeed wolves. They are they that say judge not. They are they that say it is all done for you, all obeyed for you, that the finished works of Christ are yours even though you do not do them. They who say LOVE IS UNCONDITIONAL. They who say moral transfer. They who say no moral change at all. They who say grace is a cover. They who say not of works. They who say no one has ever kept the Commandments. They who say no one can. This list is long and they love to speak of the inability and never the POWER THAT IS FOUND IN THEM THAT HAVE CHRIST.
They are they that strengthen the hands of evil doers so that NONE return from their evil ways. For they are loved just the way they are and God is not sending anyone to and everlasting hell, the everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord. They are they like Sodom and God surely destroyed Sodom.
Jeremiah 23:14, " I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness: they are all of them unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah. "
If all of this has nothing to do with being morally reformed then there is not point in any of it. Why are we even here then? Why are we tested in the furnace of affliction, for what reason? Just to prove no one is able to with stand the furnace? That no one can, all are unable and God has to do it all for us all. So we can learn it is not of works, when all will be judged for there works, how is this foolish contradiction go without conviction? If all of this is not a reason to sigh and cry, to mourn and be broken then there is not any reason to ever do so.
This is the seventh day, it is the fourth Commandment of God, it is was written in stone by God own finger. There is not any other day God made for man. This is a day to rest, to refresh and prepare for another week. It matter not what anyone says, for the Truth will forever be the Truth and a lie forever a lie. They can invent whatever they like, but the Truth is set in stone forever unchanged. For God changes not ever, faithful, without doubt, will be the same forever and is so now.
May the Grace of God abound in all that love Him truly from the heart. May I? You may if it is with all thine heart!
Blessed be the Name of the Lord Amen and Amen.
