Beloved, let’s not be deceived, neither should we deceive ourselves, for the Bible says God cannot be mocked, for what a man sows is what he shall reap-Gal 6:7. And any one that calls upon the name of the Lord must depart from iniquity that is everything the word of God has said it is not good, and abomination unto the Lord-2Tm2:19. Doing it is a willful sin and that is iniquity. And no matter what you do or how much anointing you may claim to have received, to do great and mighty works, Christ Jesus, shall tell you on the day of judgment “get away from Me, I never knew you, you workers of iniquity”-Matt7:21.
That’s you that knew my will and failed to do it, or keep it as it is, and said it is nothing, there is nothing wrong doing it. See? Any one that believes what the word says doesn’t put any different interpretations to it, but does it as the word says do, base on revelation. Let me repeat it again in another way that, any person that really believes what he is talking about, makes ready for it, or lives by it. If the churches today believe what they are preaching or talking about, they would practice it too. But they do not, because they believe it not. They only find it nice to preach, but doing it, they won’t. They only have a form of godliness but they deny the power thereof-1Tm3:5. Christianity has only become a thing as joining or belonging to some order, or a society. But the Salvation of Christ is not a society, nor joining something. It is a living experience.
We have allowed ourselves to be deceived just as the devil deceived Eve – “Oh, you shall not surely die, but your eyes shall open and you shall be like God”. So they say today, “It is nothing. God doesn’t take those things into account, like the way you dress, the way you behave, the kind of songs you sing, the kind of films you watch and the kind of places you go, because, Christianity is of the heart and not of your outward appearance”. That’s fine. But that is a clear-cut sign that you have been deceived just as Eve was. Aren’t you the one who told God you were naked and He made a cloth, a dress, for you?
Why are you now taking them off, sister, and exposing yourself to the man on the street you once shied may look upon your nakedness? How many more “apples” do you want to eat before you can realize that you are naked again, on the streets, in the vehicle, in the classroom, in the office, and even in the church? I am asking you, answer me. Aren’t you ashamed? In God’s Eden she was ashamed. If you aren’t ashamed, as the Bible says “women must adorn themselves with shamefacedness”, then it means you are now in Satan’s Eden. Oh, yes, that is the truth-1Tm2:8-10.
The Bible asked a question, “does sweet water and bitter or sour water flow out from the same stream?” So do I ask you, too-Jas3:11,12. Answer me now. How can you say that you are a Christian in your heart and your outward life be the life of the world. Have you forgotten that we are told not to love the world nor the things of the world, for they that love the world and the things of the world do not have the love of the Father in them?-1Jn2:15-17. And Jesus said, “You cannot serve two masters at the same time, you can’t serve God and mammon,” -Matt6:24, which is the things of the world. And Paul also said we should “present our bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto God which is our reasonable service”-Ro12:1,2. Then he also added, and “be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your minds, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God”.
Look, the word conform means “to fit in with a pattern or to act the same way as other people”. Hence, Paul is telling us there is a pattern of the world, but we should not follow that order. We should not do our things, dress, behave, talk or develop our ideas as the world. But we must be transformed, change completely, from those ways and follow the ways of God.
It is the people of the world that are blind in their thinking, in their hearts, but we have to see things the way that God sees it or do things as God says we must do-Eph4:17-24. If our dress and conduct are of no importance or that God doesn’t look at that or that he is not going to judge us by that, why then did He then spoke about them in the Bible. And Numbers 23:19, says “God is not a man that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?” And in Isaiah 55:8-11says, especially the verse 11, says “…So shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper [in the thing] whereto I sent it.” And again has He said, “Heaven and earth shall pass away but my word shall never pass away”-Matt24:35. Beloved friend, let not our hearts deceive us, for the Bible says “the heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it?” -Matt15:19. See what the Bible says? There is wickedness in the heart, for as Jesus said, out of it comes all sort of evil. That is why Solomon also said, “…follow the ways or desires of your heart, but remember that the Lord shall bring you into judgment”.
So do I also tell you now, to follow your heart, let it tell you that Christianity is of the heart and live any kind of life you want outward, wear your trousers, as a woman, and let your heart deceive you that the zip or flap to a female trouser is on the left or whatever, paint your face with those devilish staffs you call make-up, abort the babies, perm and jelly your hair, wear those immoral clothes and continue to expose yourself on the streets, you man also continue to pull your trousers down, saying it is life, drink and continue to flirt about, but do not forget God shall bring you into judgment.
For you know what He has said about all these things, but to fulfill you evil desire you chose to do it anyhow, because, you have deceive yourself that it is your heart that God is looking at and you have got some Pastor to tell you what your itching ears want to, that, there is nothing wrong with that. Don’t worry on the that day, when it comes for you to answer before God, then shall you know who is right, or whether God is serious or that He is joker as these Pastor have made you to believe-1Tm4:1-4.
The heart is very deceptive, that’s where people fail today, because, they have got a head (reasoning, feeling, and suggestive) religion, instead of a heart (revealed, obedient, and Holy Ghost) religion. If you have got a heart religion, you shall live your life just as the Word says, because God is in the heart, not the head. But the way you are living, shows you have got a psychological, heady religion rather than a Holy Ghost religion. You proclaim you know God, but in works you deny Him too badly-Tit1:16.
The heart is the Womb, and out of it comes all the issues of life. And what we see on your outward shows where your treasure is or the kind of the kind of treasure you have stored in your heart. Now, if you want to argue about it, you go ahead and do it. That is fine, I have nothing against you, but time shall tell. You want to be contentious about it? “Oh, it don’t make any difference”, go ahead, it is not what your dressing or conduct is anyhow, it’s what the heart is. If the heart is really right, if it has God there at all, the dressing and conduct will also be right as well. This is because, the heart is the control tower, and it influences your whole life. (Pr14:13, Ps64:6, Jer17:9)
God has given and told us what His will is, about our lives, how we must be different from the people of the world, yet, we do not obey and have allowed the devil to deceive us, just like he did to Eve, by telling us that, “Christianity, is of the heart”. Without knowing what it implies, when the Bible said that-1Sam16:7. For Jesus said what abounds in the heart is what comes out for men to see, and a child is known by his works whether he is good or evil, and whatever is in a child shall come out in any camp, no matter what. And no man knows the kind of spirit in his fellow man, but by their outward appearance, their fruits, they shall be known. (Pr16:2,25;20:10,11, Matt15:10,11,16-20, Matt15:3-9, Matt12:33-35, 1Cor2:10-16).
Your actions speak louder, than your words, till your testimony cannot be heard. Because, the good man out of the good treasured in his heart brings forth his fruit for men to see, so do the evil man. I am not saying that you are a child of the devil, but the manifestation of the spirit upon you or in you testifies to me. Every good tree brings forth good fruit. A good tree cannot, and never bear bad fruits. No! For the law says, “let every tree bear fruit according to its kind”. And by the fruit of the tree do we know what kind of tree it is-Gen1:11, Matt7:16. See? By your manifestation, man shall know whether you are a child of God, a Christian, or a child of the devil, an antichrist. Watch the kind of fruit you are bearing, whether the Holy Spirit could bear that fruit or not. The Holy Spirit always keeps the Word, but the devil is always against it and does it a different way. But Jesus said, “if you love Me obey my commandments, do what I say do”. Not doing it as He has said, clearly shows that we only worship Him just by a lip confession, but our hearts are far from Him.
Why don’t you get away from your worldly ideas, about the Word of God and just do as the word says do and not go the way He says not go. Why don’t you get away from such a church and Pastor that say and affirm that there is nothing wrong with that, see now what the Word of God says about it, and seek for those that call upon the Name of the Lord out of a pure heart and take the word of God as it is, and living by it? God bless you for obeying the call unto repentance, which now is the time of Grace. It might be too late one of these days, if you wait to long, for our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. God Bless you. Amen
