On LOVING JESUS

 JESUS declared:

John 5:34

King James Version

34 But I receive not testimony from man: 

but these things I say, that ye might be saved.

Are you a believer in JESUS?

If you are, do you love Him with all your heart?

Do you believe everything the LORD said?

Do you believe He is the Savior, and Messiah?

Are you, like this born again watchman, joyfully, and eagerly, waiting for when He returns?

Which could be any moment, as GOD would will it.

If you're not a believer, why aren't you?

What's stopping you from believing in Him?

Who has fed you lies?

JESUS knew what He was up against --

REJECTION.

SUFFERING.

GLORY.

Mark 6:4-6

King James Version

4 But Jesus, said unto them, 

A prophet is not without honour, 

but in his own country, 

and among his own kin, 

and in his own house.

5 And he could there do no mighty work, 

save that he laid his hands 

upon a few sick folk, 

and healed them.

6 And he marvelled 

because of their unbelief. 

And he went round about the villages, 

teaching.

Luke 24:46

King James Version

46 And said unto them, 

Thus it is written, 

and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, 

and to rise from the dead the third day:

John 5:41

King James Version

41 I receive not honour from men.

John 5:43

King James Version

43 I am come in my Father's name, 

and ye receive me not: 

if another shall come in his own name, 

him ye will receive.

John 5:44

King James Version

44 How can ye believe, 

which receive honour one of another, 

and seek not the honour 

that cometh from God only?

John 15:18

King James Version

18 If the world hate you, 

ye know that it hated me 

before it hated you.

John 15:25

King James Version

25 But this cometh to pass, 

that the word might be fulfilled 

that is written in their law, 

They hated me without a cause.

John 16:16

King James Version

16 A little while, and ye shall not see me: 

and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, 

because I go to the Father.

Have they no idea the Words JESUS spoke?

Have they no idea Who sent JESUS?

Have they no idea the SOURCE?

Have they no idea the sacrifice?

John 3:16-17

King James Version

16 For God so loved the world, 

that he gave his only begotten Son, 

that whosoever believeth in him 

should not perish, 

but have everlasting life.

17 For God sent not his Son into the world 

to condemn the world; 

but that the world through him 

might be saved.

John 5:30

King James Version

30 I can of mine own self do nothing: 

as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; 

because I seek not mine own will, but the will 

of the Father which hath sent me.

John 12:49-50

King James Version

49 For I have not spoken of myself; 

but the Father which sent me, 

he gave me a commandment, 

what I should say, 

and what I should speak.

50 And I know that 

his commandment is life everlasting: 

whatsoever I speak therefore, 

even as the Father said unto me, 

so I speak.

John 15:21

King James Version

21 But all these things 

will they do unto you 

for my name's sake, 

because they know not 

him that sent me.

Here's what differentiates believers, from non-believers, and the future set for each:

John 3:5-7

King James Version

5 Jesus answered, 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, 

he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; 

and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, 

Ye must be born again.

John 5:24

King James Version

24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, 

He that heareth my word, 

and believeth on him that sent me, 

hath everlasting life, 

and shall not come into condemnation; 

but is passed from death unto life.

John 5:25

King James Version

25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, 

The hour is coming, and now is, 

when the dead shall hear the voice 

of the Son of God: 

and they that hear shall live.

John 8:47

King James Version

47 He that is of God heareth God's words: 

ye therefore hear them not, 

because ye are not of God.

John 10:27-28

King James Version

27 My sheep hear my voice, 

and I know them, and they follow me:

28 And I give unto them eternal life; 

and they shall never perish, 

neither shall any man 

pluck them out of my hand.

John 17:8

King James Version

8 For I have given unto them the words 

which thou gavest me; and they have received them, 

and have known surely that I came out from thee, 

and they have believed that thou didst send me.

The worst, and most damning, sign of an unbeliever:

John 15:23

King James Version

23 He that hateth me 

hateth my Father also.

But there is JESUS.

There is Scripture.

There are the prophets.

There are the 12 apostles.

There is the TRIUNE GOD.

And there is the HOLY SPIRIT.

They are witness, and guide, to everything GOD.

John 5:39

King James Version

39 Search the scriptures; 

for in them ye think ye have eternal life: 

and they are they which testify of me.

John 5:46-47

King James Version

46 For had ye believed Moses, 

ye would have believed me; 

for he wrote of me.

47 But if ye believe not his writings, 

how shall ye believe my words?

John 15:26

King James Version

26 But when the Comforter is come, 

whom I will send unto you from the Father,

 even the Spirit of truth, 

which proceedeth from the Father, 

he shall testify of me:

But you can't comprehend, nor absorb, all these things.

Unless, and until, GOD makes you born again.

You need His SPIRIT in you.

Only then will you have a desire to search Scripture.

You will be drawn to the Bible.

And SPIRIT will open your eyes.

In these dark, terrible times, we all need the HOLY SPIRIT today.

1 Corinthians 2:14

King James Version

14 But the natural man receiveth not 

the things of the Spirit of God: 

for they are foolishness unto him: 

neither can he know them, 

because they are spiritually discerned.

Just so you know how important the HOLY SPIRIT is, let JESUS tell you Himself:

Matthew 12:31-32

King James Version

31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner 

of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: 

but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost 

shall not be forgiven unto men.

32 And whosoever speaketh a word 

against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: 

but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, 

it shall not be forgiven him, 

neither in this world, 

neither in the world to come.

If that doesn't make you quake in your shoes, then you have no idea GOD's WRATH.

Psalm 2:12

King James Version

12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, 

and ye perish from the way, 

when his wrath is kindled but a little. 

Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

It is time to love JESUS.

To honor Him, to adore Him, and to follow Him.

We have no idea what we're missing out on.

John 14:23

King James Version

23 Jesus answered and said unto him, 

If a man love me, he will keep my words: 

and my Father will love him, 

and we will come unto him, 

and make our abode with him.

Those unsure, unaware, confused, curious, not knowing where to begin, and even afraid, could use this simple prayer:

Mark 9:24

King James Version

24 And straightway the father of the child 

cried out, and said with tears, 

Lord, I believe; 

help thou mine unbelief.

FORTIFY your SOUL

 Psalm 127:1

King James Version

127 Except the Lord build the house, 

they labour in vain that build it: 

except the Lord keep the city, 

the watchman waketh but in vain.

Our souls are constantly under attack.

Many don't even know it.

Many are in denial.

Some don't care.

But once you're born again, you know the threat is real.

You are alerted to it by SPIRIT, and Scripture.

You know your greatest help is JESUS.

Evil is mighty scared of JESUS.

James 2:19

King James Version

19 Thou believest that there is one God; 

thou doest well: 

the devils also believe, 

and tremble.

Know we are attacked on ALL fronts.

Consider it constant ambush.

1 Peter 5:8-9 

King James Version

8 Be sober, 

be vigilant; 

because your adversary the devil, 

as a roaring lion, 

walketh about, 

seeking whom he may devour:

9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, 

knowing that the same afflictions 

are accomplished in your brethren 

that are in the world.

You only need to look at the state of the world, and you'll realize that.

You only need to look at the chaos and confusion, and you know "attacks" are real.

You only need to see the evil in man, and know you are not imagining things.

The attacks we speak of are "supernatural".

There is a spirit behind war.

There is also a spirit of infirmity.

That's why we're in a "spiritual battle".

Know the enemy.

Know how to protect yourself.

The PARTS deleted

 Revelation 22:18-19

King James Version

18 For I testify unto every man that heareth 

the words of the prophecy of this book, 

If any man shall add unto these things, 

God shall add unto him the plagues 

that are written in this book:

19 And if any man shall take away 

from the words of the book of this prophecy, 

God shall take away his part out of the book of life, 

and out of the holy city, 

and from the things which are written 

in this book.

The parts deleted are oftentimes the most important parts.

Man likes to edit, delete, modify, withhold, and manipulate.

Not giving the whole picture; but only a part of it.

Do you know that parts of the Bible had been deleted?

Depends on which version you're reading.

Mercifully, GOD led me to KJV early on.

The King James Version.

My trusted source.

I was once Catholic.

I had studied in Catholic schools all my life.

Months ago, I realized the church left out a part.

This, from the LORD's prayer:

Matthew 6:13

King James Version

13 And lead us not into temptation, 

but deliver us from evil: 

For thine is the kingdom, 

and the power, 

and the glory, 

for ever. 

Amen.

Imagine leaving out that WHOLE sentence!

That makes a WHOLE lot of difference!

All that time, we were taught to recite an incomplete prayer!

Not giving FULL acknowledgment, nor worship to the LORD.

Only as born again did I discover that missing sentence.

The Catholic church took out GOD's range of AUTHORITY.

They did not acknowledge His FULL POWER.

They did not want us to know about it.

That, for me, is unforgivable.

That was an affront on GOD.

How can any church deprive GOD of His MIGHT, POWER, and GLORY? 

Then today, the HOLY SPIRIT led me to a Chuck Smith video.

Where Smith enumerates missing verses from other Bible versions.

Which others intentionally left out.

Especially by the gnostic versions.

He said, there were at least five thousand instances.

Where vital words, and phrases, were deleted.

Take out one word from GOD's command, and it changes everything.

Take out phrases, or verses, and it is an abomination unto GOD.

Take out a whole sentence, and you will receive GOD's WRATH.

Start at the 33rd minute of that Chuck Smith video.

And you will learn of a bunch of deleted words, phrases, and verses.

The 1 hour, 14th minute of the video tells us of the 47 KJV translators.

Which makes me cry, because of their devotion to GOD's WORD.

We also learned Martin Luther's "Reformation" version, which led to James I's KJV, came from the preserved "Textus Receptus".

"The Textus Receptus constituted the translation-base for the original German Luther Bible, the translation of the New Testament into English by William Tyndale, the King James Version, the Spanish Reina-Valera translation, the Czech Bible of Kralice, the Portuguese Almeida Recebida, the Dutch Statenvertaling, the Russian Synodal Bible and most other Reformation-era New Testament translations throughout Western, Northern and Central Europe."

-- Wikipedia

GOD will always make sure His WORD is preserved.

In all its entirely.

JESUS is The WORD.

He is the Bible.

He is how we are saved.

Now you see why the world doesn't want Him known.

Now you see why the world deletes parts of His WORD.

Satan wants us dumbed out, deceived, and destroyed.

I am faithful to GOD's WORD.

I must give it to you, in all its entirely.

I cannot knowingly, or unknowingly, mislead you.

I cannot leave ANY part out.

That would cause both our souls to go to hell.

And I happen to be watchman, at my post.

I must give you the WORD of GOD.

EXACTLY as GOD commanded it.

EXACTLY as JESUS revealed it.

EXACTLY as SPIRIT taught me.

EXACTLY as the prophets delivered it.

Be aware these warnings about the integrity of GOD's gospel:

Galatians 1:6-7

King James Version

6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him 

that called you into the grace of Christ 

unto another gospel:

7 Which is not another; 

but there be some that trouble you, 

and would pervert the gospel of Christ.

Galatians 1:8-9

King James Version

8 But though we, 

or an angel from heaven, 

preach any other gospel unto you 

than that which we have preached unto you, 

let him be accursed.

9 As we said before, 

so say I now again, 

if any man preach any other gospel unto you

 than that ye have received, 

let him be accursed.

As faithful servant to the LORD, I shall stay on the path.

And share with you GOD's TRUTH alone.

Which happens to be JESUS:

John 3:16-17

King James Version

16 For God so loved the world, 

that he gave his only begotten Son, 

that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, 

but have everlasting life.

17 For God sent not his Son into the world 

to condemn the world; 

but that the world through him 

might be saved.

John 8:32

King James Version

32 And ye shall know the truth, 

and the truth shall make you free.

John 14:6

King James Version

6 Jesus saith unto him, 

I am the way, the truth, and the life: 

no man cometh unto the Father, 

but by me.

Acts 4:10-12

King James Version

10 Be it known unto you all, 

and to all the people of Israel, 

that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, 

whom ye crucified, 

whom God raised from the dead, 

even by him doth this man 

stand here before you whole.

11 This is the stone 

which was set at nought of you builders, 

which is become the head of the corner.

12 Neither is there salvation in any other: 

for there is none other name under heaven 

given among men, 

whereby we must be saved.

An Urgent Message For Roman Catholics

Mike Gendron's "Christ Alone"

When to REBUKE

The LORD JESUS declares:

Revelation 3:19

King James Version

19 As many as I love, 

I rebuke and chasten: 

be zealous therefore, 

and repent.

What is rebuke?

What does it mean to rebuke?

How shall we accept rebuke?

Why do we need to be rebuked?

What are we to be rebuked from?

Merriam -Webster defines "rebuke" in two ways:

to criticize sharply : reprimand

to turn back or keep down : check

Which the Bible confirms:

Proverbs 1:22-33

King James Version

22 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? 

and the scorners delight in their scorning, 

and fools hate knowledge?

23 Turn you at my reproof: 

behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, 

I will make known my words unto you.

24 Because I have called, and ye refused; 

I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;

25 But ye have set at nought all my counsel, 

and would none of my reproof:

26 I also will laugh at your calamity; 

I will mock when your fear cometh;

27 When your fear cometh as desolation, 

and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; 

when distress and anguish cometh upon you.

28 Then shall they call upon me, 

but I will not answer; 

they shall seek me early, 

but they shall not find me:

29 For that they hated knowledge, 

and did not choose the fear of the Lord:

30 They would none of my counsel: 

they despised all my reproof.

31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, 

and be filled with their own devices.

32 For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, 

and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.

33 But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, 

and shall be quiet from fear of evil.

Proverbs 3:11-12

King James Version

11 My son, 

despise not the chastening of the Lord; 

neither be weary of his correction:

12 For whom the Lord loveth he correcteth; 

even as a father the son 

in whom he delighteth.

Proverbs 12:1

King James Version

12 Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: 

but he that hateth reproof is brutish.

Proverbs 13:8

King James Version

8 The ransom of a man's life are his riches: 

but the poor heareth not rebuke.

Isaiah 1:16-17

King James Version

16 Wash you, make you clean; 

put away the evil of your doings 

from before mine eyes; 

cease to do evil;

17 Learn to do well; 

seek judgment, 

relieve the oppressed, 

judge the fatherless, 

plead for the widow.

A born again is guided by SPIRIT.

The LORD's SPIRIT teaches us about JESUS.

He teaches us about the LORD's commands.

That we may be holy, perfect, and blameless.

Because the world is full of sin.

Romans 3:23

King James Version

23 For all have sinned, 

and come short of the glory of God;

1 John 5:19

King James Version

19 And we know that we are of God, 

and the whole world lieth in wickedness.

That's why the born again must do his job.

To share the gospel of JESUS CHRIST.

That all may be saved.

Philippians 2:14-16

King James Version

14 Do all things without murmurings and disputings:

15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, 

the sons of God, 

without rebuke, 

in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, 

among whom ye shine as lights in the world;

16 Holding forth the word of life; 

that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, 

that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.

Such is the importance of being born again.

Such is the importance of Scripture, SPIRIT, and JESUS.

We are taught to rebuke righteously.

John 16:7-11

King James Version

7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; 

It is expedient for you that I go away: 

for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; 

but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

8 And when he is come, 

he will reprove the world of sin, 

and of righteousness, 

and of judgment:

9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;

10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, 

and ye see me no more;

11 Of judgment, 

because the prince of this world 

is judged.

2 Timothy 4:2-4

King James Version

2 Preach the word; 

be instant in season, out of season; 

reprove, rebuke, exhort 

with all long suffering and doctrine.

3 For the time will come 

when they will not endure sound doctrine; 

but after their own lusts 

shall they heap to themselves teachers, 

having itching ears;

4 And they shall turn away their ears 

from the truth, 

and shall be turned unto fables.

The Bible is filled with stories of rebuke.

From GOD, the prophets, JESUS, and the apostles.

The LORD's call has always been strong.

The rebellion in people has always been rampant.

TIME to HEAR the LORD JESUS now.

Mark 1:15

King James Version

15 And saying, 

The time is fulfilled, 

and the kingdom of God is at hand: 

repent ye, 

and believe the gospel.
