Jesus is coming back for a bride WITHOUT spot or blemish. Those spots and blemishes represent sin. Sinful lifestyles. Premeditated sin. The hidden sin within the motive of one's heart. As I sat here weeping before God concerning the state of many who profess Jesus as their Lord and Savior, but hearts are far from Him, I heard, "TELL THE TRUTH." I HAVE A MESSAGE FOR MANY OF YOU. I'm here to sound the alarm! Return to your first love! Repent and turn! Do we no longer believe the words Jesus spoke in Matthew 7:23? "Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’" WILL THIS BE YOU ON JUDGEMENT DAY? DO JESUS KNOW YOU INTIMATELY? To those PROFESSING Jesus as Lord and Savior: I heard the word bamboozled. Many within the church have been bamboozled. Bamboozled means to be deceived, mislead, and fooled per google. Some of you have been deceived into thinking you can live a wicked lifestyle and still go to heaven with never coming to true repentance that requires you to turn from your sin to live a HOLY and SET APART lifestyle for Jesus. Some of you have been deceived by those in leadership who NEVER preach nor teach on the importance of TRUE SANCTIFICATION which makes you feel comfortable staying just the way you are in your sin. These leaders are more concerned with being a motivational speaker, not offending you, or hurting your feelings, rather than one who shepard's their flock with the heart of Jesus by bringing forth TRUTH IN LOVE! YOUR SOULS ARE AT STAKE! 2 Timothy 4:3-4, "For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths." Sanctification means the process of being made holy or set apart for God's purposes per google. We all need to be washed in the BLOOD OF JESUS! We all need some level of discipleship. We all need to be washed in His Word! For His Word is clear and it is a blueprint on how we are to live our lives, but it starts at the feet of Jesus. When you get revelation knowledge on Jesus love for you and how He sees you, it makes you want to change. You understand the why behind a PURE and HOLY LIFESTYLE. It's HIS PROTECTION. It's His protection from the snares and traps of the enemy. 1 John 1:7, "But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son CLEANSES us from ALL sin." 2 Timothy 2:21-26, "Therefore if anyone CLEANSES himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, SANCTIFIED and USEFUL for the MASTER, prepared for every good work. FLEE also youthful lusts; but PURSUE RIGHTEOUSNESS, FAITH, LOVE, PEACEFUL with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart...in HUMILITY CORRECTING those who are in opposition, if God perhaps will GRANT them REPENTANCE, so that they may KNOW THE TRUTH, and that they may come to their senses and ESCAPE the SNARE of the DEVIL, having been taken captive by him to do his will." To those in the Prophetic and Deliverance Movement: Many of you have become intoxicated with prophetic words with no substance that has blinded you to the true purpose for prophecy. Many have become intoxicated with prophetic deliverance gatherings where the primary focus is not the heart of JESUS, but rather focus have become on this strange fire that appears to be the Holy Spirit. People are leaving these gatherings with no direction on how to maintain a life of freedom, because the ones that are leading these gatherings are bound themselves. The Jesus of the Bible is not the focal point! The Jesus of the Bible that demands TRUE TRANSFORMATION that comes from real intimacy with Jesus. The Jesus of the Bible who refuses to share His glory with anyone. 1 Corinthians 13:8, "LOVE NEVER FAILS. But whether there are PROPHECIES, they WILL FAIL; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. You need LOVE to be the focal point in the midst of everything you put your hands to! WHO IS LOVE... JESUS! HE IS THE VERY ESSENCE OF LOVE, AND WITHOUT HIM EVERYTHING IS IN VAIN! Some of your hearts and motives are for self gain. What you do, you do for the applause of man and not for God. Your hearts are far from God. Your heart's desire is the platform in which you stand on. John 12:43, "For they loved human praise more than the praise of God". Galatians 1:10, "Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ." To those who Profess Jesus as their Lord and Savior, but have made Money, Influence, and Fame their Idols: Money, influence, and fame does not mean you are in right standing with God. Money, influence, and fame does not mean it comes from God. Some of you have made a covenant with the devil and do not know it. Some of you have went through doors that the Father never intended you too. Satan said to Jesus if you bow down and worship me I will give you the world. So many who once walked with Jesus no longer because the blessings and open doors became a snare and idols in their lives. No longer were there affections toward the BLESSER. THEY FORGOT WHO MATTERS THE MOST. THEY FORGOT THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH THE OPEN DOORS AND BLESSINGS CAME,... SO THAT GOD CAN BE GLORIFIED. Matthew 4:8-9, "Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. And he said to Him, “All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me.” Exodus 32:1,4, "Now when the people saw that Moses DELAYED COMING down from the mountain, the people gathered together to Aaron, and said to him, “Come, MAKE US GODS that shall go before us" ... " And he received the GOLD from their hand, and he FASHIONED it with an engraving tool, and made a MOLDED CALF (IDOL). Then they said, “THIS IS YOUR gOD, O Israel, that brought you out of the land of Egypt!” I'm here to sound the alarm! There will be a day of judgment for us all... ARE YOU READY or have you bowed down and made idols for yourself? Return to your first love! Repent and turn! Come out of your sinful lifestyles, walk away from your idols, and be washed in the blood of Jesus! TRANSFORMED BY HIS GRACE! May the LOVE of Jesus overtake you! May you be transformed by the power in the grace of God! #repent #church #holy #pure #sanctification #sin #love #Jesus #grace #judgment #idol
