I am going to write some things that might offend you, after all, no Christian likes being told that what they are doing or what they believe in is wrong. But as the word of Elohim tells us to rebuke one another, here I am to rebuke my brothers and sisters so that you can follow the narrow path with more wisdom and knowledge, and stay under Elohim's protection.
Galatians 6:1
King James Version (KJV)
King James Version (KJV)
6 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
For those of you who do not understand what meekness means here is a breakdown: An attitude of humble, submissive and expectant trust in Elohim, and a loving, patient and gentle attitude towards others.
So try not be mean or aggressive when rebuking someone who is stepping outside of Elohim's protection. This will only induce anger which might cause the person to sin in their anger.
(Again I will write this, what you are about to read might reprove you and even upset you and you will take this message very personal as if it was directed straight at you, this is because of the Holy Spirit's conviction in you. If you feel this way then you are aware that you aren't following His word and living the lifestyle you should be as a true believer and follower of Elohim's Word. If this message however doesn't appeal to you, then you are unfortunately not where you should be in your Christian walk and you have suffocated your Holy Spirit to the point where you don't feel Him any more or you never had salvation to begin with.)
Many of the Christians today are following the world rather than following the Word of Elohim. This makes them Lukewarm. They love Elohim, yet they go out and smoke, drink, club, swear, sleep around, speak ill of one another, treat others the way they wouldn't treat themselves. Is this the behaviour of a true child of Elohim? The obvious answer to this is NO!

Think about it... if you truly did love Elohim as you so claim to, then why would you be disobedient towards Him? Why would you choose not to follow His word and repent as He asks of you?
Luke 13:5
King James Version (KJV)
5 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
Revelation 3:19
King James Version (KJV)
19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
If you would rather live in the world regardless if you love Elohim, you have chosen the world over Him, which makes you cold.
Revelation 3:15-17
King James Version (KJV)
15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
If you chose to serve and repent and follow His word, then you are Hot.
Revelation 3:18-22
King James Version (KJV)
18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
I would just like to clarify here the gold mentioned in verse 18. He does not mean that you must literally go out and buy gold and try it in fire. Gold represents holiness and purity. The trials that you will go through to be refined like gold to make you holy and pure. This is a spiritual remedy. As for "that though mayest be rich..." this does not stand for prosperity (money, material riches) this stands for rich in the spirit.
Now there is a lot of misconception as to what it is that you should be doing as a Christian.
I have come across many Christians out there saying that they love and serve Yeshua and He is the center of their lives, yet they go out partying, drinking and smoking, they sleep around and swear, etc. as I have mentioned above. This is not the behaviour of a true Christian. We are to be an ambassador for Christ Yeshua and shine as lights in the world, so when people point fingers at us we are blameless. You cannot be calling yourselves Christians if this is the behaviour you are displaying, because you open up the door for a lot of criticism to the real Christians out there who are living their lives fully for Elohim and our faith. Do you think this is fair?
Philippians 2:15
King James Version (KJV)
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;
Now I understand yes, that we are all Human and we make mistakes and trust me when I say, Elohim understands this all too well! After all Elohim came down in human form as Yeshua to experience the lives of humans and went through daily struggles just as we do. This is why Christ died for us on the cross! However, this does not give us a free pass to act the way we want and then afterwards go and ask for forgiveness! By doing this you are knowingly going out to sin, and this is testing Elohim.
Luke 4:12
King James Version (KJV)
King James Version (KJV)
12 And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
Matthew 4:7
King James Version (KJV)
King James Version (KJV)
7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
Speaking of which, if you constantly sin, doing the same thing over and over and keep going back to pray for forgiveness for the same sins, the Lord will give you over to that sin and you WILL LOSE your salvation eventually. The gospel that preaches to you that you will never lose your salvation IS NOT TRUE! This is a lie told to you so that you continue to live a sinful life thinking you are still saved. (Which is EXACTLY what Satan wants!) You will if you continue to live a sinful life and never repent. Never test the Lord.
Luke 4:12
King James Version (KJV)
12 And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
Deuteronomy 6:16
King James Version (KJV)
16 Ye shall not tempt the Lord your God, as ye tempted him in Massah.
Matthew 4:7
King James Version (KJV)
7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
With this in mind, how could you possibly call yourself a Christian if you are living your daily lives like everyone else around you? What exempts you from them? Just because you go to church once a week and pray for your sins? Which we have just established, you continue to do on a regular basis. If you truly did come to the Lord with a repentant heart when you sinned and are praying for forgiveness for those sins, He would see your heart that you truly are sorry and He would help you from continuing to live that sinful life. But this is a whole different frame of mind. This is one of a true child of Elohim, not one doing it thinking they can get away with living like everyone else, else Elohim will give you over to those sins and eventually you wouldn't even know they are sins. Take that into consideration as you read this scripture:
Romans
1:28
King James Version (KJV)
28 And
even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave
them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not
convenient;
This means that when you continue to sin KNOWINGLY, doing the same thing over and over yet asking for forgiveness thinking it's fine, I will just ask for forgiveness because when I do it again the Lord will just forgive me. This attitude will cost you, this is the reprobate mind Elohim speaks of. Eventually He will give you over to that sin so the next time you do it, it won't appear to you as a sin, but just a way of life. This is DANGEROUS! because you will not know you are sinning and this will cost you your salvation if you do not repent and change your heart and mind. This is also how many Christians land up falling away. They are taught that their behaviours are fine just as long as they pray for forgiveness and because they are given over to these reprobate minds and have fallen away from the faith, it is VERY difficult coming back to Elohim as your mind is opposed to the truth and you will find it much harder living the life as one of Elohim's children.
I also understand that a lot of you go to churches "because this is what Christians are supposed to do" and these churches are actually the main reason that so many Christians are being led astray in their faith and falling away, because the "gospel" that is being preached in the churches today is actually false! There are no more churches in this day and age that actually teach the word of Elohim, which is another topic I will address in another blog post.
Just as another topic I will address, is the reading of our scripture (the bible). The majority of Christians out there NEVER read their bible! This is scary! Instead they go to church and rely on their pastor to give them their Sunday dose of "the word" and if they don't, they don't bother reading their bible at all!
This is extremely dangerous! The word of Elohim is our defense against Satan! and if we don't read our bibles, how are we suppose to defend ourselves against Satan's attacks!
Now don't read just any bible! You have to stick to the King James Version (kjv) PREFERABLY the 1611 one if you can get hold of it. There are WAY too many false bibles out there! and a lot of people love to choose the bible that "speaks" to them the most i.e gives them false scriptures that actually makes them happy with their sinful lives.(Living the way they chose to live their lives according to their own terms) Scripture doesn't work this way. (In my experience I have witnessed far too many Christians who have told me they chose a specific bible because they like the scripture in that book and it speaks more to their lives.) Unfortunately for the ones that believe this, it's not what Elohim created His word for.
We can't just pick and chose what scripture we want, just because we don't like to be chastised (told we are wrong) this is not how the Word of Elohim works. His word is there for our protection and to keep us on His path of Salvation. To save us from ETERNAL DAMNATION! Which! by the way, was NEVER created for us in the first place! I will elaborate on this further in a later post.
If I gave you a sword with a broken handle in battle and you tried to fight your opponent, your blade would fall right off and you would be left with the handle... how would you defend yourself? You could pick up the blade and try and use that but you would land up hurting yourself with the two sharp edges! This is an example of you and the bible. You are the handle and the bible is your blade. you need both in order to fight and stand your ground. The blade that you try and pick up that hurt's you, is Satan who is attacking you because he knows the word better than any of us could ever! (He uses Elohim's word against you) So don't be caught off guard!
Acts
19:15
King James Version (KJV)
15 And
the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but
who are ye?
you cannot fight this battle by yourself you need to be spiritually equipped to fight.
Hebrews 4:12
King James Version (KJV)
12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
We are supposed to be reading and studying the word of Elohim (our bibles) daily. We are suppose to be putting the Yeshua first in our lives, not our own desires.
Matthew 6:33
King James Version (KJV)
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Proverbs 3:6
King James Version (KJV)
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Elohim knows the desires of our hearts, and if you put Him first and seek His kingdom first, He will fulfill your desires. But don't get me wrong when I say this. When I say desires I do not mean that Porsche you have been eyeing out or that mansion you wish you lived in instead or winning the lottery. I mean the things you want in your life that are spiritually good for you. That will help you grow spiritually. Elohim knows our needs as humans and He wants us to be happy, but not at the cost of losing your soul to the world, which belongs to Satan.
Psalm 37:4
King James Version (KJV)
4 Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
Elohim will never give you something that he knows will turn you away from Him. If you had lots of money you would find no need for Him in your life. This always happens to people. You may say this will never be you and you will always need Him. But money is the route to all evil and it does and will change your mind set. When people are down on their luck they turn to Elohim, even people who aren't Christians pray to Elohim, but as soon as they are on top of their game they forget all about Him. Yeshua remembers this.
How would you like to be used when your friend or loved one is down in their luck and then when they get what they want, they throw you aside as if you didn't exist.... Then why would you do this to Yeshua???
So I urge you all to reconsider your Christian lives, because the time will come when Yeshua will cut himself off from you, because He has given up on calling you. So please repent and try and live a more Godly life. Yeshua will help you with this if you just go to Him and pray for His help. We all backslide, but makes sure this is your last and give up living for the world. Yeshua says:
Romans 12:2
King James Version (KJV)
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
and John says:
1 John 2:15
King James Version (KJV)
15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
The time will come when Yeshua fetches His elect, don't be the one left behind because you were too busy being part of the world. Yeshua could come right now, or tomorrow or in a week, we will never know, but make sure that when He does come you are always ready!
1 Thessalonians 5
King James Version (KJV)
5 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.
8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.
12 And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;
13 And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. And be at peace among yourselves.
14 Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.
15 See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.
16 Rejoice evermore.
17 Pray without ceasing.
18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
19 Quench not the Spirit.
20 Despise not prophesyings.
21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
22 Abstain from all appearance of evil.
23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
24 Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.
25 Brethren, pray for us.
26 Greet all the brethren with an holy kiss.
27 I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto all the holy brethren.
28 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
May the peace of Elohim be with you.
