HOLINESS & RIGHTEOUSNESS ARE STILL IN STYLE...SO WHY AREN'T YOU PREACHING IT PREACHER!?

2 Timothy 3:1-5: “But know this, that in the last days, perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of GOD, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!”

We can talk all day long about how a Believer shouldn't do this or shouldn't do that. We say all the time that if you are in Christ you should not do certain things, but yet we look for ways to get around what Yeshua said because we think for some reason, that his word is just trying to stop our fun. Well, my friend, Yeshua is not trying to stop your fun; HE wants to save your life because sin equals death!

So, there are things that HE wants you to stop doing when you are truly Born-Again and if you continue to do those things, you will die, plain and simple. It's not a question of whether or not you can keep doing it and be saved & set free, but it is a question of if you are saved & set free, then why do it?

When we accept Christ, we should not try to just accept a form of HIM, but we need to accept HIS POWER!!!

1. What Power?

• The power to not practice sin

• The power of the Holy Spirit to make you a new creature

• The power to make old things pass away and all things become new

• The power to not be entangled again with the yoke of bondage

• The power to be what YAHWEH created you to be

• The power to heal, set free, and cast out demons

• The power to speak things that are not as though they are

• The power to become a true Son of YAHWEH and represent HIS Image

• The power to be like YAHWEH and operate in HIS Glory!!

Why are you settling for just a "form" of godliness?

Many act like the world, talk like the world, sin like the world, and spend all their time doing what the world does. Don't you know that's having a form of godliness but denying THE Power?

This is something that we don't hear about often. But it's in the bible. 1 John talks about us not practicing sin if we are Born of YAHWEH.

So, why are Christians practicing sin on a daily basis, living in sin, or defending sin with "once saved always saved" doctrinal beliefs?

Well, it's because perilous times are here! People want what they want!

They want to fulfill every sinful or fleshly desire they had when they were in the world and use YAHWEH's grace to protect them. But the underlying factor still remains. If you are truly Born of YAHWEH, you do not practice sin. So what are all these "new" Christians that practice sin born of?

Well, they have a form of godliness but deny the power. A homosexual that sits in church plays the organ, directs the choir, preaches in the pulpit, and carries on with their homosexual lifestyle is not Born of YAHWEH.

How do I know?

Because the BIBLE told me so. It says that if you are Born of YAHWEH, you do not practice sin!

So, what's all the fuss about?

People just don't want to believe the entire bible. How can you serve under a homosexual pastor?

How can you allow a homosexual to lead your worship in church?

How can you allow someone that is living with their boyfriend or girlfriend to hold a leadership position in your fellowship when the Bible says that those that do these things are not Born of YAHWEH?

If you are not Born of YAHWEH, then you are of the devil, right?

So then, why are we allowing people to practice sin and yet be leaders in our churches?

Would Yeshua allow that?

Would Yeshua allow a Believer that is not his kindred to lead HIS People?

NO WAY!

So, this form of godliness is not of the True GOD, but it's of the Antichrist. To deny the Power of YAHWEH is blasphemy and an unpardonable sin according to Mark 3:28.

People hear me. I know most churches are not on this page anymore and many of them are on the prosperity page, or the motivational page. But this is in the Bible!!

If you are truly Born-Again, you do not practice sin. If you are practicing sin, you are not Born of YAHWEH and will not inherit the Kingdom of Heaven!!

Sure we all have gotten off or may get off every now and again, but the beauty of it is that True Birth in YAHWEH will cause you to overcome the sin of the world. You will not continue in sin if you are truly Born of HIM because to be truly Born-Again means that you are not the same and deliverance will come!

So, I would suggest that you be Born-Again!

If you have been Born-Again and you are practicing sin, then be BORN-AGAIN!

Do it till you stop practicing sin. Don't think you got it made and eternal security is yours.

GET BORN-AGAIN!!!

Were you really made new when you accepted Christ into your heart?

Well, this is an ongoing battle in many fellowship circles because many believe that when you are made new you are made spiritually new and it's only manifested in the spirit realm, but I don't agree with that. I do not believe the scripture; "If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature, old things are passed away and behold all things become new" is just talking about the spirit realm. I believe when you accept Christ, you should change. There should be a new found desire to find out what YAHWEH wants and expects of you. There should be a desire to find the Will of YAHWEH for you and not do the same old sinful things you did before Christ!

Why would a person accept Christ and not want to live for HIM?

You can't accept HIM and not want to live for HIM!!

Yes, we do make mistakes and we do sin after our new birth, but to always desire to do the wrong thing more than the right thing suggests that there is something internally wrong with your new birth. Not to blame Christ, but to search into yourself and see if there are areas in your life that are unconfessed to YAHWEH or unsurrendered to him. You see, becoming a new creature was instantaneous, but practicing righteousness is a process. We know that when a person accepts Christ, there is a process to learn, live, and behave according to the Word, but there must be a desire to read the Word before a person will ever live according to the Word!

Come on people, wake up!

If you do not desire the Word, desire to hear from YAHWEH, desire to live for YAHWEH, then you do not want HIM!!!!

YAHWEH is not a flavor of cologne that you can spray on whenever you want to smell good, but if you are of YAHWEH, you are a new creature!

If you are still desiring sinful things and always looking for ways to be the fool, then you are not of HIM!!!

Mistakes, we all make, but your utmost desire should be to live according to the Word of YAHWEH if you are HIS!!

If old things are passed away, then why are they all still there?

If all things become new, then why are your old ways still ruling you?!

Are you a new creature?

The power to change comes from accepting Christ and who he is in your life. So, why go back?

Why do people go back to the way they were before they changed?

If you are a new creature, what makes a new creature revert back to the old creature they were before they changed?

Well, it's because there are things that are in your path that remind you of the old man, and there are paths that the enemy presents to you that will lead to your old ways. It's simple. If you were a drug user before you accepted Christ, then there will be paths that will lead to drugs. There is no need for you to try to test yourself to see if you can witness to drug users after you have changed! Be wise!

Avoid drug users, drug dealers, drug houses, etc. until you come into the fullness of Christ in your life. Even though you are a new creature, your mind can still be affected by your environment. That's why we must put on the whole Armor of YAHWEH to resist the fiery darts of the enemy!

But you have to be smart and know when it's something that you should not do or a place you should not go to because you are still growing past those old areas of bondage in your life. People always ask me about the demons that I have dealt with in people. I have dealt with many demonic spirits in people, but I tell you this. There is a surefire way to perform a self-deliverance with no one else around. You have more power over the demonic presence that may be in you than in another person. If you are battling demonic spirits, just deny them access!

Read Galatians 5:19 and see if there are any demons present. Then, rebuke them and command that they come under your authority as a Believer. But the key is, you must then deny them access to you!

You must stop doing the evil that you have been practicing and you will be delivered. It's not about falling down and getting up. Every time you do that, the Bible says you add 7 times the demonic influence in your life. Stop singing that gay anthem!

A saint is more than just a sinner who fell down and got up. A saint does not have to fall according to the Bible. The Word says that YAHWEH can keep you from falling!

So, let's believe that we don't have to fall or be oppressed by demonic influences in our lives. We do not have to be entangled again in that old yoke of bondage!

Whom the Son has set free is free INDEED!

Having a form of godliness messes up your great commission. Yeshua told you that you would be able to heal the sick, cast out devils, open blinded eyes, etc. when you accept HIM and HIS Power!!

But having a form of godliness and denying the power makes you powerless!

Have you been to a church service where a demon would manifest in someone and the whole church would turn into a circus?

No one could handle it and the person leaves still possessed?

Or have you been to a service where a sick person goes up for prayer and still leaves sick?

Well, when you are practicing a form of godliness, you cannot flow in the Power of YAHWEH!!!

But many people think they have true godliness when they really have a form. How can you tell when a church, ministry, pastor, etc. are operating with a form of godliness?

Read the signs. Are people being healed?

Are people being set free? Are people changing?

It's very evident when there is a form in action. Members will form cliques and social groups that exclude others. Members will not win new converts to Christ!

People get concerned about what others wear, how they look, what they can and can't do, etc!

That's a form of godliness. You see, the form comes when people try to make godliness something that can be earned by a dress code or something similar. You know the churches!

Now, there are some ministries that just prefer to look a certain way, and that's their prerogative, but YAHWEH forbid, you condemn someone to hell because of the way they appear. You cannot attain godliness by your outer appearance, but true godliness will change a person on its own. And it will teach you how you should look and walk, but when people get the idea that they should interpret what is godliness or what is not, then they only have a form of YAHWEH.

The Power of YAHWEH can convict, convince, and change the heart of the sinner to live godly, but we as people cannot. So, stop trying to do the job of the Holy Spirit. Cast out devils, heal the sick, free the bound, and win souls for Christ if your godliness is genuine!!!

BUT I WOULD RATHER BE UNCOMFORTABLE IN CHRIST…THEN TO BE COMFORTABLE WITH SATAN!!!

"IF YOU'RE NOT WINNING SOULS FOR YESHUA...YOU DON'T WORK FOR YAHWEH...YOU'RE SELF-EMPLOYED!!"
