21. 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 who is in heaven.

22. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy by thy name, and by thy name cast out demons, and by thy name do many mighty works?

23. And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.


So there is a christian's and then there is the true christian's.

When I was not yet true christian I still believed, that I was because I was a blind, so I believed what I wanted to believe. But the true christian was born after I start to serve God, and Lord. I received a gift from Spirit. A gift which a man could not practice from books by him self, and I start to understand spiritual messages, like dreams and writings. Spirit gives gifts, but it seems that very little there is christians with gift today, and I believe it is because very little there are true christians today. This world and all the joy of it is more important than the true way of our Lord Jesus. There seems to not be understanding, or fear of Lord, just darkness inside of mans mind and inside of churches. And there seems to be no way to wake you in to true life, which is in our Lord Jesus Christ. If you love this world there is no room for God's wisdom. Everything which has been sown will be fade.

This is the message which you don't wan't to hear but still it is the message which you need to hear when you still have the time.

People who have had callings of Jesus Christ and fell into lawlessness will fall into faithlessness under a curse , where these people will have to repent and turn back to Christ , as it is the lack of faith that can doom a soul were Jesus does not know them ...Where Holy Spirit will not leave these people and take the gifts of His grace away until Jesus releases Holy Spirit from these people

It is sin which separates man from God (Isaiah 59:2). Not to say that sin by way of ignorance is to cause a complete severance, but knowingly sinning, is to cut oneself off from the Spirit of God. To sin unknowingly is to cause yourself hurt, and you might want to get educated quickly to regain a healthy state of being. To say one is to "turn back to Christ" is empty rhetoric. What does one repent from? What gifts of grace?


New American Standard Bible Isaiah 59:2
But your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God, And your sins have hidden His face from you so that He does not hear.

It is not so much the sin but our reaction to it. Adam hid himself when he didn't have to. God is a smart guy, He knew we would sin all along, in fact, He planned it. So get out there and party all over again like it's 1999.

Ceremonial righteousness does not save. Ceremonial cleanliness does not impress God. Human acts of righteousness have no meaning to God.

All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away. - Isaiah 64:6

God does not hear the prayer of the sinner .....

except for the prayer of repentance....

Pray, therefore, for a spirit of repentance that God may hear your petition for mercy and grant absolution for your sins.

Repent now. The days are evil and no one knows if he or she will seen another sunrise.

that's me, hollering from the choir loft...
