2 Thesalonians 2:5 Remember you not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? 6And now you know what withholds that he might be revealed in his time. 7For the mystery of iniquity does already work: only he who now lets will let, until he be taken out of the way. 8And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: 9Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. 13But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God has from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: 14Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

John 15:26… when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceeds from the Father, he shall testify of me:

John 16:7… 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… 13… when he, the Spirit of Truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come. 14He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall show it unto you. 15All things that the Father has are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall show it unto you.

These things I say, that you might be saved.

Matthew 12:34 O generation of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.

Matthew 23:14 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayer: therefore you shall receive the greater damnation.

Galatians 5:8 This persuasion comes not of him that called you. 9A little leaven leavens the whole lump. 10I have confidence in you through the Lord, that you will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubled you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be.

Jude 1:17… remember you the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; 18How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. 19These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.

2 Timothy 4:3… 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; 4And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

Grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles, what do you think? What are eatable words that leads to Life in the Spirit? What do men teach that will deny the Life in the Spirit that the apostles taught? What fruit of the lips bear the witness of the Holy Ghost and what fruit of the lips denies the Truth; the testimony of those who experienced the power of God; the Baptism of the Holy Ghost? What is the sound doctrine that agrees with the Bible and what is the doctrine or testimony lived by the last day church? The church of the prophesied falling away.

You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to figure it out. What does the Bible say that men would do that believed the Truth: grapes? (Mark 16:16-18) What do men say that denies receiving the power of God; thorns? (Jude 1:4) If you had to choose to save your life, and you do, you must judge according to Truth. You may not have experienced the Truth because of the influence of unbelieving blind guides; men who deny Truth/Christ, but you are still responsible to God’s words.

John 12:48 He that rejects me, and receives not my words, has one that judges him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.

No man can serve two masters! No man can say that they love Jesus but when light comes they choose or prefer darkness. The wise virgins fill their vessel; their body; the lamp with the Oil of Gladness; the Holy Spirit and speak what the Spirit is saying; the Light of the world. Foolish virgins speak what men taught them, traditions and doctrines that deny Truth; Life in the Spirit. Those who deny Truth are those of Jude 1:19… sensual, having not the Spirit. Or rather, the carnally minded who do not believe sound doctrine.

This is not about being “born again”. This is about doing God’s will and becoming His sons and daughters with the evidence and proof of being full of the Holy Ghost. This is about being a good and faithful servant, not being slothful with the born again talent.

1 Corinthians 2:12… we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 13Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Ghost teaches; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14But the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

John 10:25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and you believed not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness of me. 26But you believe not, because you are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

Romans 11:24… if you were cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and were grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree? 25For I would not, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in.

2 Thessalonians 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

Romans 11:20… because of unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by faith. Be not high minded, but fear: 21For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not you (GENTILES).

Revelation 2:2 I know your works, and your labor, and your patience, and how you can not bear them which are evil: and you have tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and have found them liars: 3And have borne, and have patience, and for my name’s sake have labored, and have not fainted. 4Nevertheless I have somewhat against you, because you have left your first love… 9 I know your works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but you are rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. 10Fear none of those things which you shall suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that you may be tried; and you shall have tribulation ten days: be you faithful unto death, and I will give you a crown of life… 13 I you’re your works, and where you dwell, even where Satan’s seat is: and you hold fast my name, and have not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwells. 14But I have a few things against you, because you have there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication. 15So have you also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate… 19 I know your works, and charity, and service, and faith, and your patience, and your works; and the last to be more than the first. 20Notwithstanding I have a few things against you, because you suffer (allow) that woman Jezebel, which calls herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols… 3:1… I know your works, that you have a name that you live, and are dead. 2Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found your works perfect before God… 15 I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot: I would you were cold or hot. 16So then because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew you out of my mouth. 17Because you say, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and know not that you are wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: 18I counsel you to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that you may be rich; and white raiment, that you may be clothed, and that the shame of your nakedness do not appear; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. 19As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. 20Behold, 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. 21To him that overcomes 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. 22He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit said unto the churches.

As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit said unto the churches.

The Baptism of the Holy Ghost, is it of God or man? And you reason within your church and denomination, thinking, If we say, From God; God will say unto us, Why did you not then believe? But if we say, of men we fear the opinion of other Christians because we deny the Words of God. So you say, we cannot tell. But what do you think? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard. He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went. And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not. Which of these two did the will of his father? You say, The first. Jesus says unto you, Verily I say unto you, That low-life scum and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.

1 Corinthians 14:22… tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not…

Mark 16:17…  these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues…

I would not, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own conceits; that the blindness in part that happened to Israel, happens to you at the fullness of the Gentiles falling away. Remember therefore how you (New Testament Church) have received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore you shall not watch, I will come on you as a thief, and you shall not know what hour I will come upon you. I am coming! He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit is saying.

Dave

Luke 13:24 Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.

Matthew 7:14… strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leads unto life, and few there be that find it. 15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves… 21 Not every one that says unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? And in thy name have cast out devils? And in your name done many wonderful works? 23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity.

Romans 16:17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which you (Book of Acts Church, not the vain church of today) have learned; and avoid them. 18For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.

2 Timothy 4:3… 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; 4And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

Matthew 25:1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. 2And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 3They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: 4But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

Jude 1:17… remember you the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; 18How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. 19These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.

1 Corinthians 13:11… if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.

John 5:22… the Father judges no man, but has committed all judgment unto the Son: 7:25 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. 8:16… if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me. 12:48 He that rejects me, and receives not my words, has one that judges him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. 16:13 when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come. 14He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall show it unto you.

Matthew 12:13… whosoever has, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever has not, from him shall be taken away even that he has.

Want to be a survivor? Have what it takes to survive. Have the “OIL”; Christ; the Holy Spirit. Want to judge yourself according to Truth? Better ask the Holy Spirit because we deceive ourselves or sever our conscience. Want to be worthy to escape wrath? Better do the will of the Father: not your own or follow the doctrines of unbelief; anything that exalts itself against the Spirit of Truth! You are supposed to cast down imagination. You are supposed to judge those who say that they are apostles, prophets, pastors and teachers. You are supposed to come out and be separated to Truth. Want Truth? Better get the Spirit that leads into all Truth.

Jude 1:20… you, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, 21Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. 22And of some have compassion, making a difference: 23And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. 24Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, 25To the only wise God our Savior, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

Mark 4:19… the cares of this world… the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.

Romans 8:7… the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

1 John 2:16… all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes…  is not of the Father, but is of the world.

2 Corinthians 11:3… I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtlety, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

1 Peter 2:11… I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul…

2 Peter 2:9 The Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished: 10But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness… Presumptuous are they, self-willed, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities

Titus 1:15 Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.

Galatians 5:17… the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that you cannot do the things that you would.

2 Peter 2:6… (GOD) turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly…

Jude 1:4… ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

1 Corinthians 5:6 Your glorying is not good. Know you not that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? 7Purge out therefore the old leaven, that you may be a new lump

Psalm 34:13 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.

Romans 13:14… put you on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof.

Galatians 5:16 Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

Philippians 4:8… brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Romans 12:2…  be you transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

2 Corinthians 10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

1 Corinthians 11:31… if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. 32But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.

Galatians 5:24… they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

Matthew 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. YOU cannot serve God and mammon (worldly lusts).

Does God care what you lust after? Does God care if you pervert what is natural into something unclean? Does God care if you drag someone else into uncleanness? Where did you learn perversion? Who taught you? Don’t kid yourself, what you sow you will reap. Fulfilling lusts of the flesh wars against God. You may please yourself for a while but in the end it will bring death.

1 Peter 4:18… if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?

Romans 6:16 Know you not, that to whom you yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants you are to whom you obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

REPENT! Spots and wrinkles on a robe of righteousness just doesn’t cut it!

Dave

Ephesians 1:17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:

John 8:9… being convicted by their own conscience… or Romans 9:1 I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost… No man can serve two masters!

Romans 8:2… the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. Philippians 1:21… to live is Christ… Galatians 6:8… he that sows to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. 2 Corinthians 3:5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God; 6Who also has made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the Spirit: for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

John 4:24 God is a Spirit…

Galatians 3:14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

Romans 8:9… you are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. 10…  if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

Babes in Christ

1 Corinthians 8:6…  to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him. 7Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat it as a thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled.

Romans 8:6… to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

1 Corinthians 2:5… your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God… 15… he that is spiritual judges all things… 16:13…  stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.

1 John 4:24 Hereby know you the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 3And every spirit that confesses not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof you have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. 4You are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. (Romans 8:9… if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you…)

Mark 16:17… these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues…

Being in Christ is being one with God. It is like a consummated marriage. The “evidence” or “proof” of a consummated marriage is children. The “evidence” or “proof” of the Spirit of God dwelling in you is signs of believing; fruit of the Spirit and gifts of the Spirit. Being carnally minded or being convicted by your own conscience is proof of being fruitless, double minded or unbelieving.

Anti-Christs: Unbelievers make excuses for not speaking in tongues (which is the simplest form of evidence). Some try to go another way and say miracles or prophesy follow them but they lack tongues and proclaim it unnecessary. There is only one way, one Spirit, God is not divided or confused but men; anti-Christs; anti-Spirit deceivers were prophesied that they would be in the church in these times. Jude 1:19 These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit. These men deny Christ: who and what the Kingdom of God; being the temple of the Holy Ghost truly is. Jude 1:4… who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

In many babes: “there is not in every man that knowledge”. Religion and doctrines of unbelief have blinded the eyes and plugged up the ears of many babes. Galatians 3:3 Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now made perfect by the flesh? Life in the Spirit is spiritual, a give and take flow evidenced by the Spirit of Truth, our conscience also bearing us witness in the Holy Ghost.  2 Corinthians 10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ…

James 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that gives to all men liberally, and upbraids not; and it shall be given him.

Revelation 3:18 I counsel you to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that you may be rich; and white raiment, that you may be clothed, and that the shame of your nakedness do not appear; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.

Little children, do not think more highly of your own opinion than you should. Do not look to your own conscience which allows you to eat and do things pertaining to idols. Seek the Kingdom of God, the Spirit of God, the seal of God’s approval. Be led by the Spirit of God not the carnal voice of conscience. Live in Christ, the Spirit of God. Do the things that true believers do. Come out from vain religion; the whore of compromise and unbelief. Free yourself from the wrath to come that you may walk in the Spirit and be robed in righteousness. Once you turn and are converted you will know the Truth and you will be free to worship in Spirit and in Truth.

Dave

2 Corinthians 1:21… he which establishes us with you in Christ, and has anointed us, is God; 22Who has also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.

Earnest: a considerable or impressive degree or amount, a good-faith deposit, a sign or promise of what is to come

Luke 24:49… I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry you… until you be endued with power from on high.

Luke 13:11 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

John 7:38 He that believes on me, as the scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. 39(But this spoke he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)

John 15:26… when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceeds from the Father, he shall testify of me:

John 16:13… when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come.

2 Peter 1:2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3According as his divine power has given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that has called us to glory and virtue: 4Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these you might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

1 John 2:20… you (???) have an unction from the Holy One, and you know all things. 21I have not written unto you because you know not the truth, but because you know it, and that no lie is of the truth.

Mark 16:16 He that believes and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believes not shall be damned. 17And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

James 1:22… be you doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

John 8:32… you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

1 Corinthians 2:14… the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15But he that is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. 16For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

Wake up! Without the Baptism of the Holy Spirit you will not be worthy to escape wrath; you are fearful, doubtful or an unbeliever to God. Even if you say Jesus is Lord, if you do not do God’s will, God does not know you. Their is no pre or mid trib rapture. Only those who believe God and do His will are filled with His Spirit. Repent of your unbelief and come to Truth. Deny Christ; the Anointing of Jesus; the promise of the Father to those who believe no longer. Come out from your dead church, they cannot help you. Quit being slow to believe and renew your mind to Truth. Ask God. Rely on God more than your own understanding. Truth never changed but men left the Truth.

Dave

John 14:9… Have I been so long time with you, and yet have you not known me, Philip (Christian)? He that has seen me has seen the Father…

John 14:16… I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 17Even the Spirit of Truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it sees him not, neither knows him: but you know him; for he dwells with you, and shall be in you. 18I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.

John 1:12… as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

Mark 16:17… these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

“Christian” unbelievers just won’t get it, they do not love Truth. If you do not know “all Truth” you do not believe, you do not  have the Holy Spirit. If you are stirred, come out from among them; the unbelievers. Wrath is going to come upon them for their unbelief. Ask God with nothing wavering and He will give you the Holy Ghost with the sign of acceptance; the sign of belief; the proof of son-ship; confidence.

Dave

If your eye be evil, your whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you be darkness… how great is that darkness!: Romans 8:7… the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

Luke 13:24 Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.

2 Thessalonians 2:5 Remember you not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? 6And now you know what withholds that he might be revealed in his time. 7For the mystery of iniquity does already work: only he who now lets will let, until he be taken out of the way. 8And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: 9Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

1 Corinthians 1:14 I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius; 15Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name. 16And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other. 17For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect. 18For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. 19For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. 20Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.

“Us which are saved it is the power of God.”

Power of God: Luke 4:14… Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit… Acts 1:8… you shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you… Romans 15:13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost. Romans 15:19…  mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God… 1 Corinthians 2:4… my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power… 1 Corinthians 5:4 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when you are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, 5To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. 2 Timothy 1:7… God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth: 2 Timothy 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

John 8:32… you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

Mark 16:17… these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues…

“…open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.” Paul

Acts 8:14 Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John: 15Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost: 15(For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)

James 3:13 Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? Let him show out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. 14But if you have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. 15This wisdom descends not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. 16For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. 17But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. 18And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.

John 8:31… If you continue in my word, then are you my disciples indeed; 32And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

1 Corinthians 14:33… God is not the author of confusion, but of peace…

Isaiah 55:12… you shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace…

Romans 8:6… to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

Galatians 5:22… the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23Meekness, temperance…

Philippians 4:5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. 6Be careful (no distressing anxiety) for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

James 1:26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridles not his tongue, but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is vain.

2 Corinthians 10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ

2Timothy 2:25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; 26And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.

James 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that gives to all men liberally, and upbraids not; and it shall be given him.

Galatians 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man sows, that shall he also reap.

Reject the Truth and you reject Jesus.
