No. Each of these aspects of the Biblically-defined Christian life is different from the other three. They are entered into at four different times and have four different meanings and requirements. They are all equally essential to the saint’s rebirth and entrance into the Kingdom of God. The salvation seeker must understand the process that, if entered into and completed, will place him on Christ’s throne where he, along with others of like heart, will rule and reign over the earth and its peoples for 1000 years, then over the entire universe forever–THUS SAYS THE HOLY GOD TO HIS HOLY PEOPLE IN HIS HOLY BIBLE. The purpose of this ministry is to speak this message to the Satan-deceived (Rev. 12:9) masses who have been lured into his Catholic/Protestant church system. I speak and write this message in the hope that someone therein will read or hear God’s Truth (Word–Jn. 17:17), believe and obey it, thereby qualifying for eternal life.

Few, God tells us in Matthew 7:13,14, will do so. As was the case with Adam and Eve, the choice belongs to reader/hearer. Those who choose to believe Satan’s false prophets reject God’s Word (and therefore Him–Lk. 10:16), believe a “perverted gospel” (Gal. 1:6-9) and obey it. By making that choice they accept “another Jesus” (2 Cor. 11:4) which, along with another god, another church and another salvation. These congregants, numbering in the billions world-wide, comprise what is commonly called “Christianity.” These are they who, Jesus said, will stand before Him on the Day of Judgment, call Him their Lord and remind Him of all the wonderful works they had done in His name. To these religious masses waiting to be taken to heaven He will say: “I never knew you or where you are from. Depart from Me all you workers of iniquity (Lawlessness)” (Lk. 13:27). Earlier He had confronted a “great multitude who had come to hear Him” and who had called Him their Lord: “Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord’ and do not what I say?” (Lk. 6:46). About such people He said in Matthew 15:9: “In vain do they worship Me by teaching as My doctrines the commandments of men.” Note that these people believed that He was their Lord and that they were WORSHIPING HIM. However, as He said in Luke 13:27, HE REJECTED THEM BECAUSE THEY REFUSED TO OBEY HIS LAW/WORD/THUTH. One either obeys (worships) God or Satan. The one a man obeys is his lord.

Admittedly, I have asked my Lord to allow me to speak and write about more positive subjects. But that is not my commission. As He said to the Jeremiah–the “weaping prophet”–when he complained that the Israelites refused to hear his warnings: “TELL THEM ANYWAY.” Otherwise he would have their blood on his head. I am encouraged when I think about how the Old Testament prophets and New Testament apostles continually warned salvation seekers about Satan’s attempt to lure them away from the Lord with a more self-gratifying way to get to heaven. Most of the Lord’s servants were either persecuted severely or martyred (or both) for telling the people the Truth. In every case their deaths were horrific. Legend holds that the Prophet Isaiah was sawn in two.

Obviously, people of old did not want to hear God’s Truth. But His prophets and apostles were ordered to tell them His Truth. My hope is that one day when I am in God’s kingdom someone will say to me, “I am here because of you.” That will make it all worth while. In the meantime I will continue to warn, warn, warn until God brings this ministry to a stop, which will happen, and soon. He warns that: “Behold, the days are coming … when I will send a famine on the land, not a famine of bread, nor of thirst for water, but of hearing the Words of the Lord. Men will wander from sea to sea, and from north to south. They will run to and fro in search of the Word of the Lord, but shall not find it” (Amos 8:11,12).

That time is just over the horizon. Amos warns that before that happens HE–THE LORD–will bring an end to the preaching of His Word. Man will have rejected His Truth to the point that He will remove it from the world. This has already begun. Note that the Ten Commandments are not allowed to be presented in many public institutions. Nor is the Word of God allowed to be spoken. Special rooms and time allotments are provided for the worshipers of Allah in many public schools, but anything pertaining to the Biblical God is forbidden. While school children are being taught the Koran and forced to recite sections of it, they are forbidden to bring Bibles onto their campus or to hold Bible studies.  In the United Nations it is against the law to speak or write anything negative about the Muslim religion. But Christianity is fair game. Those who know their God are not surprised, having been forewarned in His Word.

The Great Tribulation and the Day of the Lord are rapidly approaching. I must work while there is light, for darkness comes when no man can work. Note it: When liberals regain control of the national government they will enforce the Hate Crime Laws that are already on the books. At that time anyone who stands up for God will be accused of hating those who do not worship Him. Today, those who advocate His moral standards are accused of “hate speech.” Note that some internet providers are shutting down anything that might offend someone’s else’s delicate sensibilities.

Be warned, it is just a matter of time before God’s true saints will be literally forced to leave this nation. But God has promised us a place of safety where His Very Elect will live for 3 1/2 years while the world falls apart around us. Personally, I believe that the place of safety, called “her (the true church’s) place” (Rev. 12:6,14), is a mountainous area in the nation of Jordan that is known as Petra. I have been there. It is beautiful and filled with caves that have been carved our of solid rock. The “Creek of Moses” runs down the middle of it. The creek is dry now, but God can make it run with spring water as it did in days of old. Personally, I can hardly wait. Come quickly Lord Jesus as You promised (Rev. 22:7,12,20).

Until then I will warn, warn, warn the people of the worldly church to “come out of her and be separate; touch not that unclean thing.” Then and only then will God be their God and they will Be His people (2 Cor. 6:14-18). One must understand, believe and obey this series of messages in order spend eternity with Jesus Christ in the Kingdom of God. One must come out of Satan’s Catholic/Protestant disinformation centers and embrace the pure Word of God that is summarily denied and rejected by the so-called “churches” of this world. Very few will do so. A local pastor and his assistant admitted to a friend of mine that they cried when they read what I wrote about the abomination called “Christmas.” But that did not change them. Another pastor admitted to one of his parishioners that what I said about such subjects as Christmas, Easter, the Sunday Sabbath, heaven, etc. was all Biblically true. But, as he put it, he and his denomination were going in another direction. Another pastor, when confronted by God’s Word about homosexuality, said: “We are stepping outside of the Bible” in search of spiritual truth. These “ministers of righteousness” and their congregations call Jesus ‘Lord, Lord’ and “worship” Him. They proudly hold up His Word for all the world to see, quote it and swear to its truth, yet refuse to believe and obey it. And when someone points out their hypocrisy, they reject that person, calling him a reprobate who has “fallen from grace.” I had one local pastor invite me to his church so that I could hear the real truth and hopefully get saved. I can’t imagine the level of wrath the Lord is storing up for such poor souls. I am doing everything I know to do to warn them.  L.J.
