Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven

Exactly.

Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent. John 6:29

Who is my mother and brother?, Jesus asks..

From Matthew ch 12:
46. While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him.
47. Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.
48. But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?

49. And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!

50. For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.



Must Be ENABLED to Do The Will Of The Father...

Surrender is The Way Unto Father's Victory.


Only The Father Can Give us "a new heart of flesh" to replace our carnal-heart of stone...



Maranatha!!!

Soon, The Age Of Faith will end...

From Revelation 14:

1. And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.
2. And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:
3. And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.
4. These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.
5. And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.


6. And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,
7. Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.


8. And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.


9. And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
10. The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
11. And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
12. Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.



Three Angels Will Witness:
14:7 announces end of The Age Of Faith
8 announces removal of babylon the state (America) from its position of world-power
9 cautions those who may be swayed to God's enemy...



Shit looks like it is getting pretty "real" in Israel, Gaza, Egypt today....

Olivet Discourse is Powerful Witness....
Only the very elect will not be deceived, cannot be deceived.

By my witness, only those surrendered and Born-Again Abide with The Holy Spirit and thus constitute "the very elect".


For many are called, but few are chosen, from matt ch 22.

Few choose to make their surrender, even though The Father has Called Them Unto HIM...


You either Know HIM or you don't.

Now IS The Time for all who feel their hearts Called By The Father to Come Unto HIM in fealty and complete submission. Open your heart Unto God and give HIM your life; all of it, good & bad. Tell HIM you want and promise to accept HIS Will for all your days. Acknowledge Christ Jesus, Admit & Repent of your sins, Ask Father to Send HIS Holy Spirit to Guide you.... HE Will, if you are sincere and honest!


Maranatha!!!

Love God, but just never got around to telling HIM so???


This is Laodicea! You're doing what your religious indoctrination inspires; but you aren't following your heart...


All is about heart.


HIS Disciples ask Jesus after HE's Given the Parable Of The Sower, "why do you teach using parables".... From Matt ch 13:

10. And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?

11. He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
12. For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.

13. Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
14. And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:

15. For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; ***lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.***


16. But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.
17. For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.



Last Moments.
Pray that your flight not be in Winter or on the Sabbath...
Let he that is on the rooftop...


Without The Holy Spirit's Witness and Guidance, I would have been killed many times, many years ago...

My reliance is Fully Upon God.
Surrender yielded Great Victory.
Living In God's Accord a surety and confidence you can only imagine and pray for.


Is Israel not "compassed by armies" at this moment?

How is the EU doing today? On verge of economic collapse.
How fearful is the rest of the world of Middle East shutdown of access to the oil it needs, and price hikes thereof...

Not much longer to decide if you would take action...

Revelation 18

1. And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.
2. And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
3. For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
4. And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
5. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
6. Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.
7. How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
8. Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.
9. And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,
10. Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
11. And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:
12. The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,
13. And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.
14. And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.
15. The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,
16. And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!
17. For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
18. And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!
19. And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.
20. Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.

Beautiful thread my Brother.

Spoken like an Angel.

ok forget the new age bullshit , what is the will of the father ...

the entire old testament , what are the rules from the father , the 10 commandments and the laws and statues , ie no shell fish , pork , etc ...

you eating piggy and shell fish , your gona be one of them who is turned away ...

jesus said he only came for the house of isreal , and he came to forfill the law of his father ... so gtive up pork , shell fish , circumsition , and the sabbath are all very important , are you gona say im wrong here ... let me guess

you will do .... and then follow with the new age bullshit

why has thou brother not followed up to what i said , does he nether know what to do when confronted with thou truth

Simple.

Go see my thread explaining the Ten Commandments.

Then you will know.

The Prodigal Son

He was reunited with his FATHER.


And yes, Jesus came to reunite us with our Father, to lead us home.

How about trying to understand the spiritual message behind those laws.

Not happy with your life?
Frustrated that you aren't able to connect With-God?

Nothing "new-age" about surrendering your will Unto That Of The Father. Jesus in gaethsemane is the Witness there.


It means nothing to me if others don't get it.

God's Will IS Always Perfect!
I witness what I Know and have Seen, what I am Led to post or testify about.

This is the Laodicean church age.
Many failed vessels...


Can you Trust God with your life and tell HIM so?


Now is the time to manifest your faith with Leap Of Faith.
Trust God and give HIM your life.


Maranatha!!!

bump

From Luke ch 13:

22. And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem.


23. Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them,

24. Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.
25. When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:


26. Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.

27. But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.

28. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.

This post is about presumption, assuming that because you Love God and Christ Jesus, are however devout and pious, do all the good works and charity you can imagine, that God Knows you....


Jesus Plainly states here, Witnesses over and over again that Unless You Are Born-Again, Enabled To DO HIS Father's Will, HE Does NOT Know you...


Look at Luke 13 verses cited.
They who would knock, ate with HIM, HE Taught in their streets, they knew HIM By Name, on sight; just never thought about making their surrender...

Unless your life is Lived In Reality Of Ezekiel 36, you remain apart From-God...
26. A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
27. And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.


17pages of response to the foroum-owner here posting "this looks like the real deal in the Middle East"


The REAL DEAL is that the Age Of Faith and Way Unto The Father is ending, soon to be closed....


You are either Being Guided By Father's Holy Spirit or you are on your own....



Just think, still over a month to go before Winter officially begins.... God's Mercy may just mean our flight to the mountains (if you're in Judea per Matthew 24 Olivet Discourse) won't be in Winter....


Only God's Witness From The Holy Spirit can Lead you True.
HIS Guidance has saved my life and that of my whole family.
HE even Told Me HE Would save us, 5mos in advance...

From First John Epistle ch 2:


18. Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.


19. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.


20. But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.
21. I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.


22. Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
23. Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.
24. Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.
25. And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.


26. These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.
27. But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.



Maranatha!!!

These are The Final Moments.

Hope and have prayed that you have made your Way Unto The Father...

The most amazing sentence structure in Scripture....


19. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.



Continued with us...
We who made our surrenders and Came Unto The Father

But they went out...




I don't know how to explain or give any encouragement to you if you are just unable to find it within yourself to Put All Your Trust In-God. This is Laodicea... Our Christian religion has been co-opted by the billy grahams and their own failures to surrender. God Knows This though.

I was Given Witness while Guided in John ch 3, that: "All those who ever Loved Christ Jesus with a True heart, even if only as a child, will not be lost or condemned". Given to me By The Holy Spirit.

Lukewarm Laodiceans. As John says in verse 18 which ties to 19, they are "anti-Christs".
18. Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
19. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.


20. But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.
21. I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.

If Born-Again, then you also Know This:
27. But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.



Your heart is what matters.
You were given life and Christ Jesus Gave HIS Life To Enable your Coming Unto The Father, to Live In & With HIM.

Can you not find it in your heart to tell HIM you Trust HIM Fully and want only HIS Will?

Hope & Pray you might search deep and decide you can....

Maranatha!!!

OP is right. You must OBEY the will of the father to inherit eternal life. That is what Yahushua the Messiah told the rich man who asked him point blank, "how do I inherit eternal life"

Very important note. Saul/Paul is NOT a true apostle. There were only TWELVE (12) apostles, not 13...and Mathias was the replacement for Judas, not Saul/Paul.

Paul is an infiltrator and 'anti-Christ', who taught that we do NOT have to obey the Law (thus negating the most important part of Yahushua's message, and the Old Testament).

Remember that Saul/Paul was initially a persecutor of the followers of Yahushau, murdering and imprisoning them. Satan then saw that it was better to have Saul INFILTRATE the movement and attempt to destroy it from within.

Satan (via Paul) has deceived MANY.

Remember how sternly Yahushua warned against false prophets?

As He said, broad is the road to destruction and many go there, and narrow is the gate that leads to life and there are FEW who find it.

In 1st John 2:18, he cites the term "anti-christs".


Anti-Christ(s) is a term only applicable to Christians. Non-Christians might be in enmity to YahWeh, Father God, but they aren't anti-Christs.

Only those whose hearts God Has Called can be anti-Christ(s). It is their failure to heed HIS Call and make their surrender which puts them in opposition to what Jesus Enabled and Suffered to Make their way...



Unable to understand this (about yourself)? Such is carnality. Such is your choosing to continue in your own will rather than Submit Unto The Father.




It all comes down to this:
Don't talk of your Love for Christ or offer your pretenses; Prove your Love, take action!


If you cannot take action, you are nothing to God...


How Come you here friend, without a Wedding Garment?

If the AC replying above were Born-Again him/herself, they would KNOW St. Paul...


Paul may be extremely verbose, but even Christ Jesus Witnesses HE Taught using Parables so that those who sought to understand with their heads rather than their hearts would not so be able, lest HE Have To Heal them.... matt 13:15


Paul's Witness is same as St. John's: In 2nd Timothy 2 he Witnesses that only those Born-Again already ought be considered for teaching, preaching, or ministry.
1. Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
2. And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
3. Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
4. No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
5. And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.

6. The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.
7. Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.


Must First Be A Partaker Of The Fruits...
The Lord Giveth Thee Understanding In ALL Things....



Don't come here with your anti-Christ bullshit, amigo...

You'd best become A Partaker yourself, Be Given An Unction From The Holy One and Know ALL Things.


The Holy Spirit in me Gives Recognition of HIMSelf in other Born-Agains.

18. Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.

19. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.

OP...oh, I "know" Saul of Tarsus and what he REALLY taught. He is no saint.

He is a liar and deceiver. I admit it is hard to accept...just as it is for an "asleep average Joe" to accept that 9/11 was an 'inside job', or to accept the reality of the NWO conspiracy.

Growing up Baptist, for a long time I just accepted whatever "mainstream Christianity" taught must be true. But those of us who are "NWO aware" now know that the "mainstream" churches are VERY corrupt, controlled by "NWO agents", and lying and deceiving us in MANY areas. Isn't that true?

Think about all of the occultism/paganism that is in "mainstream" Christianity (via the Catholic Church). For example, the pagan "Christmas" (Saturnalia, winter solstice holiday) and "Easter" (worship of the goddess Ishtar) celebrations. The "changing" of the Sabbath from the 7th day of the week to "Sunday" (first day of the week). Etc. Etc.

As for Saul/Paul...if you do not know he is a master deceiver, you NEED to search out the truth about him.

The bottom line is that Saul/Paul taught AGAINST keeping the commandments. For exampl,e i Ephesians 2:15 the liar Saul says, "Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;"

On top of teaching against keeping the commandments of Yahuah, false teacher/apostle Saul taught that we must obey the law of MAN. See Romans 13:1-13 "Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities"

There is MUCH MUCH more I could post exposing Saul/Paul as a liar. But I will leave you with just this for now...

In 2 Timothy 1:15 ("This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be turned away from me;"), Paul admits that all those in Asia (modern-day Turkey) have rejected him. This includes the city of Ephesus (remember Paul wrote letters to the Ephesians).

THEN, note what Yahushua says to the Ephesians in Revelation 2:1-2:

"Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks; I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars"

See that? The Ephesians have rejected those who are FALSE APOSTLES. Well who could THAT be? Could it be Paul, who admitted in his letter that "all those in Asia" had rejected him?

More against Saul/Paul...

The liar and false apostle Saul proclaimed that all you have to do in order to be saved is "believe in Jesus and confess"...

Romans 10:9 - "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved."

This is why all the "televangelists" on TalmudVision say that all you have to do to be saved is "say a little prayer."

But even the fallen angels can intellectually believe that the Messiah is indeed reaised from the dead, and confess that he IS who he says he is.

Yahushua the Messiah, on the other hand, said that you MUST do the will of the Father, and obey the commandments, in order to inherit eternal life.

Remember, BROAD/EASY is the path to destruction and MANY find it. But narrow is the way to life, and FEW find it.


While Saul/Paul says a lot of things that "sound good" and appear to align with the true teachings of the Old Testament and Yahushua, there are KEY Deceptions in his teachings/letters. It doesn't matter if 95% of the stuff he says "sounds good", it's the 5% that is lies that you have to worry about.

And think about it. If Satan is going to deceive the vast majority of people (and we know for a fact that he DOES), even "Christians", then HOW is he going to do it? The way to do it is to INFILTRATE and CORRUPT the true message. Satan will have his agents teaching from the pulpits. A lot of what they say will "sound good", but they will deceive you in KEY areas that lead to many being unable to inherit eternal life (and that is Satan's goal, to keep as many of Adam's descendants from attaining eternal life as possible)

Wow I will have to look more into this Paul/Saul character...

Isn't he the one who also asked the Lord to remove the thorn from his side?

29) And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word,

30) By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus.

31) And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.


Acts 2:1-4 KJV

1) And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.

2) And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

3) And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.

4) And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.


Acts
10:42 And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead.

10:43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.

10:44 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.

10:45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.

10:46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,

10:47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?

10:48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.


Romans 5:3-11 KJV

3) And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;

4) And patience, experience; and experience, hope:

5) And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

6) For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

7) For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.

8) But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

9) Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

10) For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

11) And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.

Most of Paul's Witness was not to those Already Born-Again.

None who are Born-Again are apart from God, therefore we do not "hope", "believe", resort to "faith", or deal with "tribulation".


Jesus Witnesses that HIS People, (Ezekiel 36 Born-Agains), are Preserved against all evil in JOhn 17.

You don't Know this to be True in your life? Then you aren't Born-Again, or perhaps you just never considered the Scripture.

Not too unusual for a Born-Again not to be conversant with Scripture. If you Abide With God, you don't seek Knowledge Of-HIM through Scripture study; you seek HIM in prayer and ASK...

Knowing HIM removes any fear and generates complete confidence.



Born-Agains are not as you might approve of or judge to be "correct"... Yet, we are As God Directs and Guides and your expectations mean nothing to us if they are in conflict with God's Will. As a carnal-hearted Christian, for sure you are in conflict with God's Will; there is no other way for you to live or be Until God Changes your heart.



All our lives, since being Born-Again, we Rejoice IN-HIM. Everyday a blessing, every challenge a blessing not yet Revealed.
