Good Morning to everyone from Hawaii, through the outer reaches of the world. We are all glad you are back with us today, my health is the same, and I am slowly getting weaker, the antibiotics did nothing for the problem at hand, So I would like to talk about salvation today, and who will make it into heaven. We all know that if we believe in the Lord Jesus Christ that we shall be saved, but as it appears this can be or can not be a one time deal. If you become a Christian and then go out to the bars and then try to pick up other women do you expect to go to heaven? There are many churches that believe that the “once saved always saved” opinion, and it has forever been preached, but to me if you follow the bible to its fullest extent we are to be perfect just as our Father in heaven is perfect. We must have a daily continuous relationship with our Father and Jesus through prayer, and reading our bibles normally, to get closer to the understanding of our Lord. Plus we are still all sinners, we still all have a fleshly nature and we must confess our sins daily, even if we just get angry or yell at someone or call them names, even though they don’t hear you, we are in sin.
"You have heard that the law of Moses says, `Do not murder. If you commit murder, you are subject to judgment.' But I say, if you are angry with someone, you are subject to judgment! If you call someone an idiot, you are in danger of being brought before the high council. And if you curse someone, you are in danger of the fires of hell. Matt.5:21-22 NLT
If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word has no place in our lives. 1John 8-10 NIV
Dear Heavenly Father, We open up our hearts to you, we love you so much, we love your Son with open arms, and we love and ask for the Holy Spirit to anoint this gathering. We love all the people that meet here, and rest here. We try to Love everyone we come across, we need your help Father, we are nothing without you, we need your grace and peace, and I need your strength to continue on through. We are all here to worship you in spirit and in truth and to spread the Good News about your Son, and what He went through, the pain He suffered, the word that He left us, the truth of life, and the way into heaven through the love and fellowship of His love, In Jesus Name, we all pray, Amen
"Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect. Matt. 5:48 NASB
Medical update; I myself have gone through so many trials, for such a long time, Wednesday I found out that this affliction I have, and the torment that I have been going through was all done on a guess from a group of doctors, that did not know what was wrong so they guessed at my expense, so all I can do now, is think about is how much I love people, how much I enjoy to preach and pray for them, and think about the words that Jesus said “Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. "Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you. Matt. 5:10-12. Theoretically I should be jumping for joy, praising God for what these doctors have done to me to destroy my being. I have to forgive each and every one of them. We all should and want to live joyful prosperous lives, but I have been chosen to suffer, at this particular time, this way I can share my experiences, and to preach and pray for you, letting you know that your not the only one, who may be suffering, and there are a lot more out there that are suffering even more, and our obligation, is that we need to hear, and spread the good news, and the love of God. Our future is not here, as we all go through certain troubles or distresses in this life, we will in the end experience full joy being with Christ. So we should forgive and show love just as Christ has done for all of us. We live in a battle ground, there is a saying on my stairway, and it says “I never said it would be easy, I only said it would be worth it.” So no matter what we together are going through, my prayers and thoughts are with you all, with my heart, that is the least I can do. Both God and Jesus taught us how to love no matter what happens, forgiveness, is very important, and I have so many to forgive. We all live on different roads, but if we remain loyal and trust, we will have peace. Prayer is the key to heaven, but faith unlocks the door. If we have faith no matter what the trial or suffering, our Lord will heal, and take care of all things. All we have to do is believe in our Lord Jesus Christ.
If we went around and asked people do you think you are going to heaven, there are so many reasons and answers that people give, they might say, I go to church, I am a good person, I believe in God, I have done great things, or I have done my best in this life, I follow the 10 commandments, I don’t steal, I don’t hurt anyone, I help the poor, I follow the golden rule, I tithe more then 10% to the church, I pray all the time, I fast a lot, or I am a regular church member, or I help the poor, some even say my parents are Christian. No matter what the answers we hear today these answers will not get us into heaven.
And he is entirely fair and just in this present time when he declares sinners to be right in his sight because they believe in Jesus.
Can we boast, then, that we have done anything to be accepted by God? No, because our acquittal is not based on our good deeds. It is based on our faith. So we are made right with God through faith and not by obeying the law. Rom. 3:26-28 NLT
You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that–and shudder. James 2:19 NIV
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-- not by works, so that no one can boast. Eph 2:8-9 NIV
God saved you by his special favor when you believed. And you can't take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. Eph 2:8-9 NLT
But now God has shown us a different way of being right in his sight--not by obeying the law but by the way promised in the Scriptures long ago. We are made right in God's sight when we trust in Jesus Christ to take away our sins. And we all can be saved in this same way, no matter who we are or what we have done.
For all have sinned; all fall short of God's glorious standard. Yet now God in his gracious kindness declares us not guilty. He has done this through Christ Jesus, who has freed us by taking away our sins. For God sent Jesus to take the punishment for our sins and to satisfy God's anger against us. We are made right with God when we believe that Jesus shed his blood, sacrificing his life for us. God was being entirely fair and just when he did not punish those who sinned in former times. And he is entirely fair and just in this present time when he declares sinners to be right in his sight because they believe in Jesus. Rom 3:21-26 NLT
I am out to save as many souls as possible, that is why I am always under attack from the enemy, that is why the affliction in my mouth has made it a bit hard to preach even the vibration makes the pain worse, but none the less, this church wants everyone to go to Heaven, and if we follow the scriptures that I have set aside we shall soon see that we are to believe upon the Lord Jesus Christ, with a pure heart and to love our brothers and sisters with all our hearts, just thinking bad thoughts about someone might stop us from going into heaven. Just a lie, or not forgiving a person, can lead us right to the gates of Hell.
And the person who keeps all of the laws except one is as guilty as the person who has broken all of God's laws. James 2:10 NLT
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. Isa.64:6 NIV
For no one can ever be made right in God's sight by doing what his law commands. For the more we know God's law, the clearer it becomes that we aren't obeying it. Rom 3:20 NLT
Indeed, there is not a righteous man on earth who continually does good and who never sins. Ecc. 7:20 NASB
There are other values that we also must consider, that if we are saved and we do get to heaven the work or the job or the position the God wants or wanted us to be in, might not be the same that if we fully followed the bible and its content, In other words yes we will go to heaven, but what we do and our attitudes, on how we handle and go through trials and tests might be what we shall be or do in heaven. If we are mean lets say to person, or we pre-judge a person, we might not end up ruling a larger group of people that God informed us to do or be in the bible.
But God shows his anger from heaven against all sinful, wicked people who push the truth away from themselves. For the truth about God is known to them instinctively. God has put this knowledge in their hearts. From the time the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky and all that God made. They can clearly see his invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse whatsoever for not knowing God.
Yes, they knew God, but they wouldn't worship him as God or even give him thanks. And they began to think up foolish ideas of what God was like. The result was that their minds became dark and confused. Claiming to be wise, they became utter fools instead. And instead of worshiping the glorious, ever-living God, they worshiped idols made to look like mere people, or birds and animals and snakes. Rom 1:18-23 NLT
But when the kindness of God our Savior and His love for mankind appeared,
He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit,
whom He poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that being justified by His grace we would be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. Titus 3:4-7 NASB
Then when we get to heaven, do you think there will be any prejudice, or bigotry, or people will look differently about skin color, why could that be, if we do this down here, how can we expect to live in a perfect world around people that are still stereotyping up there? Heaven will be a place with perfect people in them. Pure love with all, and sharing the light of God and His righteousness.
Anyone who tries to please God by obeying the Law is under a curse. The Scriptures say, "Everyone who doesn't obey everything in the Law is under a curse." No one can please God by obeying the Law. The Scriptures also say, "The people God accepts because of their faith will live." The Law isn't based on faith. It promises life only to people who obey its commands. But Christ rescued us from the Law's curse, when he became a curse in our place. This is because the Scriptures say that anyone who is nailed to a tree is under a curse. And because of what Jesus Christ has done, the blessing that was promised to Abraham was taken to the Gentiles. This happened so that by faith we would be given the promised Holy Spirit. Gal. 3:10-14 CEV
Does the Law disagree with God's promises? No, it doesn't! If any law could give life to us, we could become acceptable to God by obeying that law. But the Scriptures say that sin controls everyone, so that God's promises will be for anyone who has faith in Jesus Christ.
The Law controlled us and kept us under its power until the time came when we would have faith. In fact, the Law was our teacher. It was supposed to teach us until we had faith and were acceptable to God. But once a person has learned to have faith, there is no more need to have the Law as a teacher.
All of you are God's children because of your faith in Christ Jesus. And when you were baptized, it was as though you had put on Christ in the same way you put on new clothes. Faith in Christ Jesus is what makes each of you equal with each other, whether you are a Jew or a Greek, a slave or a free person, a man or a woman. So if you belong to Christ, you are now part of Abraham's family, and you will be given what God has promised. Gal. 3:21-29 CEV
The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God. "They are corrupt, they have committed abominable deeds; There is no one who does good.
The LORD has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men. To see if there are any who understand, Who seek after God. They have all turned aside, together they have become corrupt; There is no one who does good, not even one. Psalm 14:1-3 NASB
As the Scriptures say, "No one is good--not even one.
No one has real understanding;
no one is seeking God.
All have turned away from God; all have gone wrong, No one does good,
not even one." Rom. 3:10-12 NLT
We all no that none of us is good not even one, we are all sinners and we have to do our best to think good thoughts, and the main concept is love, love is the most important thing I would think, would be the best way we can perform down here. Everything is written down, every evil thought or every evil word out of our mouths has been recorded. And we will all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. And I believe we will be evaluated, even though our slates are wiped clean, by the belief and the blood of our Jesus. So what have we done this day, have we thanked our Lord for everything he has given us, have we confessed our sins, or did we just get up and say I am too late for work, I do not have time to pray or thank God for all the provisions that He has given us, did we yell at people cutting us off from our lane in the road, or did we pray on the way to work and share love with our Lord. Did we make sure that we told our wife or husband that we love them before we left? Did we hug our children and give them words of inspiration, or did we rush out of the house and bring our coffee, and tell everyone goodbye, I’m late for work.
" Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it." "For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it." Matt. 7:13-14 NASB
But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God—2Tim. 3:1-4 NIV
Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 1Cor.6:9-10 NIV
And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire. Rev.20:15 NASB
But tell me this--since we preach that Christ rose from the dead, why are some of you saying there will be no resurrection of the dead? For if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not been raised either. And if Christ was not raised, then all our preaching is useless, and your trust in God is useless. And we apostles would all be lying about God, for we have said that God raised Christ from the grave, but that can't be true if there is no resurrection of the dead. If there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, then your faith is useless, and you are still under condemnation for your sins. In that case, all who have died believing in Christ have perished! And if we have hope in Christ only for this life, we are the most miserable people in the world.
But the fact is that Christ has been raised from the dead. He has become the first of a great harvest of those who will be raised to life again. 1Cor. 15:12-20
Hell would a bad place to be, all alone for the rest of eternity, in pain, in tears, burning up constantly, gnashing your teeth together from such pain and loneliness; it would not be a very nice place to spend eternity. Why don’t people believe in our Lord Jesus? Don’t you believe that our mistakes can cause us to end up in Hell? This might happen to anyone of us? Do we say to ourselves, so are we saved? Wouldn’t you like to spend eternity with Christ? Most people today think they are Christians aren’t. Isn’t that a scary thought? Or do we just say yes we are saved, yes our sins are forgiven, and then act a completely different way from the direction of the bible, and learning the scriptures, can you be sure? Don’t you want to be in the arms of God? Wouldn’t you like to make sure? This is a choice, a choice only you can make. Heaven or Hell that is the question, I ask you after reading most of these scriptures doesn’t it sound like you want to make sure you are saved, to be certain, in no doubt, totally convinced, totally positive and totally confident and clear in your mind? I know I would.
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son. John 3:16-18
For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ. 2Cor.5:21 NLT
As God's partners, we beg you not to reject this marvelous message of God's great kindness. For God says," At just the right time, I heard you. On the day of salvation, I helped you." Indeed, God is ready to help you right now. Today is the day of salvation. 2Cor.6:1-2 NLT
Salvation that comes from trusting Christ--which is the message we preach--is already within easy reach. In fact, the Scriptures say, "The message is close at hand; it is on your lips and in your heart."
For if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved. As the Scriptures tell us, "Anyone who believes in him will not be disappointed. " Rom. 10:8-11 NLT
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Rom. 10:13 KJV
This suffering is all part of what God has called you to. Christ, who suffered for you, is your example. Follow in his steps. He never sinned, and he never deceived anyone. He did not retaliate when he was insulted. When he suffered, he did not threaten to get even. He left his case in the hands of God, who always judges fairly. He personally carried away our sins in his own body on the cross so we can be dead to sin and live for what is right. You have been healed by his wounds! Once you were wandering like lost sheep. But now you have turned to your Shepherd, the Guardian of your souls. 1Pet. 2:21-25 NLT
So from generation to generation sin passed on year after year until a savior came to live with us, and show us the road to heaven, and to take all the sins of the world and laid them upon Himself even when we were still sinning, missing the mark, and not looking out for the tricks, and not being aware of the deception of the devil.
Dear Lord our Mighty God, We have come to a close of this day, and we all hope we understood the bread of life, the life of Jesus and the life of the sinner, in which I am one of those sinners. I thank you for all the people who have come to the Lord Jesus, to make Him the Lord of there Life, and to confess their sins, and welcome Him in to there hearts. We all want to be perfect, we all try, but we can’t unless you help us, we can’t do anything without you, Jesus suffered and died for our sins and we just want to thank you for the choice You made, and the choice we made, so we can enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. From what we learned today we shall go out and share what we have learned, so that we will be able to meet all these people in heaven, we want to take the rest of this week and share the awesome Gospel of truth, and share our bible scriptures, so we can branch out and save as many souls as we can, please help us to be strong disciples by spreading the word, and Love of Jesus Christ, Until next week, please protect us, please heal us, please hold us, please be with us, and stay within in our hearts from now through eternity, In Jesus Name, Amen and Amen.
