Prayerfully consider all which has been written, AMP Acts 17:11
11Now these people were more noble and open-minded than those in Thessalonica, so they received the message [of salvation through faith in the Christ] with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so.

My children,

It has always been about Jesus – always – my kingdom comes very quickly – you along with my Son will rule and reign together as you are appointed to different stations. This world and all that is within it a facade. Don’t you see? Step outside your own thoughts and opinions and consider mine.

My ways are not your own. It would be impossible for you to understand this. Unless you learn my word and get to know me. I am the way, the truth and the light, no man comes to the father except through my Son Jesus.

Why do you play their games? Playing their systems. Do you truly believe you will die without their technology? That is their end game for you. Either thank you with them or kill you. Ask yourself – why all the secrets, chaos, go fetch games? Do you see it? Step back my children and look. You’re standing under their dining room table, feeding off their scraps. Your vantage point, limited. They take enough from you to hurt, but not too much in order to keep peace with you.

They know who You are. They fear those who engage with them. They flee and move to another. They know they must obey you if you walk righteously and use your weapons of mass destruction. This level takes time. Think witchcraft, it is not an overnight accomplishment.

I gave you all this world. She is placed in your care, to be your stewards, including what you reap. You have been passive about her as well. Look around – the enemy destroys her. You all call it conspiracy theory. The enemy teaches your children his will and ways, injects them with poison under the guise of safety. Has made laws removing your parental rights. You all stood by, called it conspiracy theory and let them have your children while you pursue your own lusts. I saw children overtaken, physically and mentally altered while the family unit fell apart, ending in divorce. Why? To choose your own prideful and selfish desires.

Where is my church? Those who are called by my name. I am on the buildings, never mentioned over the pulpits. Yet you sit there and give them your support. You sing if you songs about yourselves calling it worship. Handle your church business, song, the short careful sermon in order to keep you from checking the time. A song, and goodbye. Where is my church? Did anyone have victory? Healed? Saved?

You bicker and argue online offending your brethren, did I not say I hate division amongst my people?  Yet there you are, day after day.

If my people who claim to be called by my name would repent and humble themselves, I could change the world. But you haven’t – this is the result of that – worldwide.

The enemy has taken over and you don’t even see it. You don’t know it has happened.

Your churches today do not represent the church I established through Matthew, Mark,  Luke, John, The Acts of the apostles, the early church. (Referring to the book of Acts).

Conspiracy theory –

You have allowed man to create thousands of denominations and call it mine. This is not of me. Yet you go to these houses of Bahl, week after week thinking you are doing a good thing. You use canned Bible studies which are not scriptural for children, your preachers read half of a scripture because the other half is offensive.

The enemy is changing my world. Why so many bibles? Who is the author of confusion?

Do  you think I authored and bless the Queen James version – do you? If so you do not know me – you certainly have not read my word.

This is not my church – repent, be baptized every one of you for the remission of sins and you will receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Study, learn of me, not from man. From me. I am the Great teacher. Not seminary – Those who are called by my name do not need a state license. Where is that written in my word?

Their system – your participation – your choice –

Choose whom this day you will serve and follow me. I am your great healer, your provider and trusted confidant.

Scriptures given with a message NKJV

Acts 2:38-47

38Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the [k]remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.”

40And with many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, “Be saved from this [l]perverse generation.” 41Then those who [m]gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them. 42And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ [n]doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers. 43Then fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles. 44Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common, 45and [o]sold their possessions and goods, and divided[p] them among all, as anyone had need.

46So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart, 47praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added [q]to the church daily those who were being saved.

Proverbs 17:21

21He who begets a scoffer does so to his sorrow,
And the father of a fool has no joy.

Genesis 3:5-9

5For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

6So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was [a]pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate. 7Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves [b]coverings.

8And they heard the [c]sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the [d]cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden.

9Then the Lord God called to Adam and said to him, “Where are you?”

Romans 8:23-27 16:17

23Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body. 24For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees? 25But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.

26Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession [g]for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

Romans 16:17

17Now I urge you, brethren, note those who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and avoid them. 

1st Corinthians 2: 3-5, 1:2,10-13, 3:3-4

3I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling. 4And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of [b]human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, 5that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.5Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the [b]counsels of the hearts. Then each one’s praise will come from God.

1:22To the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who are [a]sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all who in every place call on the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:

1:10-13 10Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all [d]speak the same thing, and that there be no [e]divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. 11For it has been declared to me concerning you, my brethren, by those of Chloe’s household, that there are [f]contentions among you. 12Now I say this, that each of you says, “I am of Paul,” or “I am of Apollos,” or “I am of Cephas,” or “I am of Christ.” 13Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?

3:3-4

3for you are still carnal. For where there are envy, strife, and divisions among you, are you not carnal and [a]behaving like mere men? 4For when one says, “I am of Paul,” and another, “I am of Apollos,” are you not carnal?

2 Corinthians 5:8-20

8We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.

The Judgment Seat of Christ

9Therefore we make it our aim, whether present or absent, to be well pleasing to Him. 10For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad. 11Knowing, therefore, the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are well known to God, and I also trust are well known in your consciences.

Be Reconciled to God

12For we do not commend ourselves again to you, but give you opportunity to boast on our behalf, that you may have an answer for those who boast in appearance and not in heart. 13For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God; or if we are of sound mind, it is for you. 14For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; 15and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again.

16Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer. 17Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 18Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, 19that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not [d]imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.

20Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. 21For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

John 1:1-5 , 17:20-23

1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was in the beginning with God. 3All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. 4In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not [a]comprehend it.

20“I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who [j]will believe in Me through their word; 21that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. 22And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: 23I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.

17:20-23

20“I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who [j]will believe in Me through their word; 21that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. 22And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: 23I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.

Ephesians 5:23, 27, 4:4-6

23For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body.

27that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.

Matthew 12:25

25But Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand. 

Mark 9:38-40

38Now John answered Him, saying, “Teacher, we saw someone who does not follow us casting out demons in Your name, and we forbade him because he does not follow us.”

39But Jesus said, “Do not forbid him, for no one who works a miracle in My name can soon afterward speak evil of Me. 40For he who is not against [g]us is on [h]our side.

Luke 9:46, 11:17

46Then a dispute arose among them as to which of them would be greatest.

11:1717But He, knowing their thoughts, said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and a house divided against a house falls.

How to prepare for eternity:

If you are coming here, you are being called. Do not worry or be intimidated if you do not understand the bible. Gods Holy Spirit will open up your understanding as time goes on.😊

The good news is the gospel of Jesus Christ:

Accept Jesus as your LORD and savior, believe God sent his Son, Jesus, to save and redeem all of mankind. Jesus is God in the flesh. Jesus died for our evil ways, sins, was crucified on the cross. Three days later he rose from death to life. Then as the book of Acts explains, Jesus appears to many before ascending back up to Heaven, with God, his Father, sitting at HIS right hand. This is the beginning of what you must do to be saved. (You will never hear this in church.) One must shift from living for me to living for thee. As you read His word, you will learn how to live God’s way and leave your evil life behind. YOU MUST BE COMMITTED TO JESUS, NOT ONLY IN BELIEF, BUT OBEDIENCE AS WELL.. PAY ATTENTION TO “AND”, WRITTEN MANY TIMES!!!  You also should be baptized in Jesus name, because the Bible says so.  This is an act of Obedience, it’s public, usually.  John the Baptist baptized Jesus during their ministries.   Mark 1:9

Berean Annotated Bible

In those days Jesus (YHWH saves) came from Nazareth (branch) in Galilee (circuit) and was baptized (submerged) by John (YHWH is gracious) in the Jordan (flowing down).²

Sure, you will make mistakes or fall back into sin. Its life here on earth. As time goes on, this will happen less and less.  Only Jesus was perfect, this DOES not excuse sinning, God knows my heart, etc.  Living for God means acknowledging these mistakes before him, asking for forgiveness and moving forward, John 5:14  Berean Annotated Bible

Afterward, Jesus (YHWH saves) found the man at the temple and said to him, “See (behold), you have been made well. Stop sinning, or something worse may happen to you.

Read the book of John, this will show you who Jesus is. He/God will meet you right where you are and take your walk from there. Its not complicated or impossible. Read the following passages very carefully, it tells you everything you need to do. Then it becomes a daily walk of living God’s way. Your job from there is to share the good news of Jesus, to love above all else AND endure til the end.  Remember,  willful habitual sin is not following Jesus.  That is a false religion. Hebrews 10:26-27 if we go on willfully and deliberately sinning after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice [to atone] for our sins [that is, no further offering to anticipate], 27but a kind of awful and terrifying expectation of [divine] judgment and THE FURY OF A FIRE and BURNING WRATH WHICH WILL CONSUME THE ADVERSARIES [those who put themselves in opposition to God]. 1 John 3:99No one who is born of God [deliberately, knowingly, and habitually] practices sin, because [a]God’s seed [His principle of life, the essence of His righteous character] remains [permanently] in him [who is born again—who is reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, and set apart for His purpose]; and he [who is born again] cannot habitually [live a life characterized by] sin, because he is born of God and longs to please Him.Romans 14:23 links faith/salvation to our own actions.  23But he who is uncertain [about eating a particular thing] is condemned if he eats, because he is not acting from faith. Whatever is not from faith is sin [whatever is done with doubt is sinful].

If you continue on in some sort of sin habit, ( swearing, drunk all the time, sex outside of marriage, porn etc ) you’re at risk of losing your salvation. Being saved goes way beyond accepting Jesus as your Lord and savior. You cannot do this and then go live like the rest of the world thinking that you’re going to heaven because you said a few words.  You’re not. These seeker friendly churches will never tell you this nor many others as well.  I have only heard this outside the church.  THANK GOD FOR THAT PERSON!!!!  Your soul is the most important real estate for Satan to steal.  Only you can give it away.  Even out of ignorance, can say you never rejected God? I bet anyone who’s reading this has rejected God at least once. I did a few times. He will come many times until you die.  If you continue to reject him, you do not want to know what’s on the other side. I’m not God I can’t make the final decision only he can all I can do is warn.

Amplified bible:

Read Acts chapter 2 (so you understand) the context:

Acts 2:22-42

’22“Men of Israel, listen to these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man accredited and pointed out and attested to you by God with [the power to perform] miracles and wonders and signs which God worked through Him in your [very] midst, just as you yourselves know—23this Man, when handed over [to the Roman authorities] according to the predetermined decision and foreknowledge of God, you nailed to a cross and put to death by the hands of lawless and godless men. 24But God raised Him up, releasing Him and bringing an end to the agony of death, since it was impossible for Him to be held in death’s power. 25For David says of Him,‘I SAW THE LORD CONSTANTLY BEFORE ME;FOR HE IS AT MY RIGHT HAND, SO THAT I WILL NOT BE SHAKEN [from my state of security].26‘THEREFORE MY HEART REJOICED AND MY TONGUE EXULTED EXCEEDINGLY;MOREOVER MY FLESH ALSO WILL LIVE IN HOPE [that is, will encamp in anticipation of the resurrection];27FOR YOU WILL NOT FORSAKE ME and ABANDON MY SOUL TO HADES (the realm of the dead),NOR LET YOUR HOLY ONE UNDERGO DECAY [after death].28‘YOU HAVE MADE KNOWN TO ME THE WAYS OF LIFE;YOU WILL FILL ME [infusing my soul] WITH JOY WITH YOUR PRESENCE.’29“Brothers, I may confidently and freely say to you regarding the patriarch David that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. 30And so, being a prophet and knowing fully that GOD HAD SWORN TO HIM WITH AN OATH THAT HE WOULD SEAT one OF HIS DESCENDANTS ON HIS THRONE, 31he foresaw and spoke [prophetically] of the resurrection of the Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed), that HE WAS NOT ABANDONED [in death] TO HADES (the realm of the dead), NOR DID His body UNDERGO DECAY. 32God raised this Jesus [bodily from the dead], and of that [fact] we are all witnesses. 33Therefore having been exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He has poured out this [blessing] which you both see and hear. 34For David did not ascend into the heavens, yet he himself says,‘THE LORD [the Father] SAID TO MY LORD [the Son],“SIT AT MY RIGHT HAND,35UNTIL I MAKE YOUR ENEMIES A FOOTSTOOL FOR YOUR FEET.”’ 36Therefore let all the house of Israel recognize beyond all doubt that God has made Him both Lord and Christ (Messiah, Anointed)—this Jesus whom you crucified.”

37Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart [with remorse and anxiety], and they said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what are we to do?” (WFA-NOTE: Anyone in UPC, in the 80’s, especially would know this. ( I left UPC in 91.) Anyway….v. 37 used to say, what must we do to be saved? Do I have witness out there? ) 38And Peter said to them, “Repent [change your old way of thinking, turn from your sinful ways, accept and follow Jesus as the Messiah] and be baptized, each of you, in the name of Jesus Christ because of the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39For the promise [of the Holy Spirit] is for you and your children and for all who are far away [including the Gentiles], as many as the Lord our God calls to Himself.” 40And Peter solemnly testified and continued to admonish and urge them with many more words, saying, “Be saved from this crooked and unjust generation!” 41So then, those who accepted his message were baptized; and on that day about 3,000 souls were added [to the body of believers]. 42They were continually and faithfully devoting themselves to the instruction of the apostles, and to fellowship, to eating meals together and to prayers.
