How Will they Hear!

“How shall they hear without a Preacher!?” Rom10:14

The Message of Repentance and Faith Proven by Deeds is all but lost to our Present Generation. Even the few who still mention the need for repentance do so amid a minutia of fallacies and mixed Doctrine. So for the most part the Genuine message goes unheard. Therefore the Spirit Cannot Convict and Convince the World of Sin, Righteousness and Judgment to Come. Rather the spirit of error rules the day, and the Eyes of the Understanding remain Closed to the truth.

Among the Professing System true Spiritual Discernment Does NOT exist! The spirit of error can then lead them on every wild goose chase under the Sun and they THINK its God showing them special signs and wonders. They go from Delusion to More Delusion. Reasoning from the Word of Truth is foolishness to them and their understanding of good vs evil is off skew. Consequently the Light in them is Darkness and they will not Yield to the Truth. The Strongholds remain, arguments are not cast down and vain thoughts are paramount.

When the Wall is Empty, or only sparely occupied, the enemy can infiltrate the camp. If the Supposed Watchmen are off chasing the Winds of Doctrine WHO will Warn the people? The Savage Wolves come in undetected and more false teachers rise up from among yourselves to draw away disciples after their vain imaginations. The Pastors and Teachers have no Sense of Urgency or spiritual Discipline to keep the Message on track. They WILL NOT offend or make anyone feel uncomfortable in their sins. It’s Peace, Peace when there is no Peace! The people trust in their lying words and are confident that all is well with God.

There’s Over Ten Million Ministries, Churches, Sub-Ministries, Bible Schools, publishing houses, Missionary outreaches, and other Christian related organizations on the World Wide Web preaching the ‘Saved in Sin’ Message! Combine that with a Church on every corner in every town in America, spreading the soft-sell Message across the seas to the far corners of the Earth, and you have an innumerable amount of people bewitched under Satan’s magnificent illusion. Envision if you can how FEW have actually ever heard the real Message of Repentance. Most of the Planet is ignorant of this Truth! So what is the Likelihood of them Repenting according to the Scriptures? (Zero!) 

Those who have actually heard the word ‘Repent’ in their religious jargon, are in the Repeat after me crowd and imagine themselves Saved in sin. Their Christianity is expressed as the ‘Chief’ of Sinners and ‘Wretched man’ plagued with a vile dual nature that causes them from birth to continue in their wrong doings. Many others are continually told that Repentance is never a mandate for Salvation. That its ‘Faith alone’ that saves them and as long as they are ‘Trusting’ in Jesus as their full Provision and Substitution they are forever secure in the arms of God. It’s an atmosphere of celebration and festivity where everyone is enjoying the ride while they feast on their abundance oblivious to the approaching whirlwind coming to take them away.

WHO, Claiming to be awake, can Standby in the face of this onslaught and Do NOTHING to expose it? HOW can you be lead by the Spirit of Truth and Cast dispersions on those in the Fight? Don’t you realize that your lack of urgency is an offense to God? Our efforts are like a drop of water in a bucket while you stand aloof of the False Prophets of Doom spreading their lies. Is it enough in your mind to write this off as fanaticism and just ‘love them’; Or will you at last Swallow your Pride and advance toward the sound of the guns?  Its time to stop being concerned about what you might lose in the way of worldly endeavors by joining the fight and start counting the cost of your failure to get involved. Is it really of no consequence on your part to remain cold and complacent, lacking any real diligence toward these things? What would it take to motivate you OUT of that slough of despond?

Without a Preacher of Truth MOST of the world is Doomed. Satan already has his Army of false teachers in place and is adding to it daily. The people are memorized by the pomp and circumstance of the hirelings with their great swelling worlds of emptiness that promise liberty in sin. Our Weapons are mighty in God, yes, But we can only do so much. The battle needs to be joined, an offensive launched! If you Love the Truth then FIGHT to keep it Pure! The last thing we need at this point is more dissension in the ranks. It’s not obnoxious to Contend for the Faith. By everyone speaking the Same thing it will have a greater impact. But you MUST be Mature in the Faith, not a child!

The Truths Concerning Repentance and Faith are at the core of the Gospel Message. True Salvation Cannot take place unless man is first Convicted of Sin, Righteousness and Judgment and then gets himself Clear of his wrong doings. It’s Godly Sorrow that leads to Repentance UNTO Salvation! The ‘Church’ World has this in Reverse or not at all. Our entire society is in Crisis Mode and time is running out. Can you afford to keep a low profile while the dam is bursting and the flood waters approach? We ALL Stand before His Judgment Seat to give an account. What will your excuse be then?

Hook, Line and Sinker!

For when they speak great swelling words of emptiness, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through lewdness, the ones who have actually escaped from those who live in error. While they promise them liberty, they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by whom a person is overcome, by him also he is brought into bondage. For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning. For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them. But it has happened to them according to the true proverb: “A dog returns to his own vomit,” and, “a sow, having washed, to her wallowing in the mire.” 2Pet2:18-22

Without exception the professing Christian church today has embraced a Message antithetical to the Gospel of the Bible. They Preach and teach that Jesus Saves you IN SIN, Not FROM SIN! They will Debate Doctrines, expound theology, write confessionals and call themselves Orthodox, but the ONE THING they Will Not Do is Save your Soul from the Corrupting Influence of Sin. In Fact the System they have adopted as Gospel has Rendered the Redeeming effect of Faith so ineffectual that nearly EVERYONE Believes (wholly & without reservations) that they are Forgiven and heaven bound while still committing sin daily in thought, word and deed.

This Message has made Christianity a laughing stock among the Religions of the world. It asks no Conditions, makes no Demands and only requires that you TRUST in God and He will take care of the rest. Your obligation to Christ extends no further than your ‘Gratitude’ for what He did on the Cross. That alone is said to motive you to good works of charity and devotion toward the Christian life. BUT it has ABSOLUTELY NO affect whatsoever on the final Outcome of your eternal salvation. That was decided once and for all when you ‘BELIEVED’ in Jesus and ‘RECEIVED’ Him into your heart.

Aside from all the dissenting opinions and rhetoric from the pulpits, defending this form of teaching, lays the Foundational Truth of Repentance and Faith that from the beginning, was Taught, FIRST by Christ Himself and then His immediate Apostles! Stated Clearly in the Holy Text that everyone reveres as the ‘BIBLE’, But REFUSES to Follow or Obey it.

BOTH Faith and Repentance are PROVEN By DEEDS, (not Trust!) Faith WORKS by Love! The Principle behind Faith is ACTION, to Believe is to OBEY. (not Receive!) If a person Truly Encounters God in Repentance they will enter into a Crisis of Conviction and Season of godly sorrow for sin. If it is Real, they will SEEK Diligently to CLEAR themselves of Wrong Doing before God, with Fear and the Sin will STOP! Vindication (Justification) will Come through the Spirit by DIRECT Witness within. (unmistakable, cannot be faked!) Forgiveness will be Granted by Grace and TRANSFORMATION will Immediately take Place. It DOES NOT Happen Gradually or by Degrees, over time, but INSTANTLY a NEW Creation is BORN Within. (THIS is the New Birth!)

1)       The Eyes of the Understanding  are Open to God’s Truth

2)       The Power of Sin and Satan is Broken

3)       The Divine Nature is imparted by Faith

ONLY This kind of a Conversion to God could Possibly overturn the wickedness of mankind and offer any Hope that he could OVERCOME the World, flesh and devil and be a driving force to pull anyone else out of the corruption of sin. Unless the Bible is Wrong and the early Converts to Christ were deranged, the ENTIRE Professing Christian World today is GROSSLY WRONG about what they Consider Salvation to be! Because the Message they Preach is NOT Producing ANYTHING CLOSE to the results revealed in Scripture. (somebody has hell to pay for this failure.)

Why has everyone been Caught by the Bait? (hook, line and Sinker!) Remember, Peter was a fisherman by profession. He said the False Teachers would use this VERY Same Tactic to ALLURE You! Catch you by using BAIT. Promising you Liberty in Christ while you Remain in bondage to Sin! (2Pet2:18-19) This is Why the Professing Christian Church today is a DISGRACE to Christ, an Enemy of the Cross!

The Pastors have brought them in through a ‘Decision’ not a Crisis of Conviction. Therefore they RECEIVED Jesus, but Did Not REPENT of their sins!

Why is the Gospel they Preach everywhere, ‘Believe and Receive’ ? NEVER: Count the Cost, Dig Deep, Strive, Obey, Holdfast, Endure? Because Salvation is a ‘Decision’ to Believe, NOT a Heart WILLING to OBEY! Obedience is ‘WORKS’, they tell the Converts, and Salvation is ‘Not of Works!’ Grace is Un-merited Favor, Not the Power to Godliness and Self-Control! Until the Gospel again Becomes OBEY Christ, not just ‘Believe’ in Him, NO ONE will be Saved. (the devils believe!)

That this is universally accepted as the Gospel today is the real Mystery. People blindly accept it as the one and only Truth, believing their church is THE Church. They can produce no Real evidence whatsoever to support it, aside from speculations, conjecture and opinions over Doctrines. Everyone is Saved because they have ‘Believed’, of that ‘Trust’ no one questions or challenges the authenticity.

When someone comes along and manages to escape the BAIT of their Great Swelling Words of Emptiness, and has his own personal encounter with God through the Process of Repentance, the System begins to deal with him as a Fish Out of Water! Since the Natural thing is to attend church, the newly enlightened soul goes in expecting to find the Living Water his soul needs to survive. Immediately the System recognizes this person as ODD, especially if they Know anything about the Word of God and are Zealous to Share it with others!

The first attempt to put a Hook in this person and drag him in among the other dead, dried up ‘Converts’ is usually to quell his zeal by assuring him that the cold dead spirit in the church is normal and not everyone has his ‘gifts’ of devotion to God. How long he will last after this depends on his diligence in digging for truth, asking questions and contending against the contradictions. The accumulative influence opposing him will be overwhelming and MOST people who remain in the System end up like all the rest: ‘Dead, darkened and lost’, thinking they stay Saved because they once believed.

The System has pronounced anyone who goes through the Motions of Salvation, Converted to Christ. We see this reflected in every aspect of our society today. Immorality and moral decay has ruined every major institution of Religious, Political, Educational and social fabric of man’s existence! The Spiritual leaders are in a fantasy land and have insulated themselves from reproof, correction of error and censure. Anyone who openly opposes them is immediately branded as a Trouble Maker heretic who rejects God Ordained Reformed Theology! All Logic is Out the Windows! Discussion Impossible.

You may not think so, but that HOOK is in YOUR Mouth now. If you can Deny it, PRODUCE Some Evidence to the Contrary! Look around you at the people who are considered ‘Christian’. It would be Kind to refer to them as LUKEWARM! They know NOTHING About God, DO Nothing to Defend His Truth against all the Lies and Could Care Less if they ever Know anything. Confront them with the Truth and they will HATE your Guts, Join their ranks and they will slip a Hook into your mouth and drag you into the Mire with them.

The Average Fish isn’t Smart enough to avoid the Hook when it’s adorned with some Juicy Bait. But YOU Have a Choice! Either take the Bait, (hook, line and sinker!) or FLEE Now while you still have the ability to SEE the Difference!
