Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise a serpents, and harmless as doves. But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues; And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.
But when they shall deliver you up, take no thought of how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak. For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you. And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
Matthew 10:16-22

And behold the hour is coming and now is when the falling away does reach its peak . Be on guard and be viligant and diligently seeking the LORD and feasting daily on the scriptures . For many deceivers abound and grow daily . The LORD has His own , and let us HEED HIM at all times . Follow HE who has saved us and can keep us from falling . HEED HIM , HEED ALL SOUND DOCTRINE , Heed HIM or fall many will . Stay glued in those bibles and being doing all to exhort only pure sound doctrine that agrees always with the WORD and words of our LORD . Be testing all , be reaching as many as you can . BY Word , by poems , by simply evangelizing CHRIST and Also building up the believers BY PURE sound doctrine . Heed the SPIRIT and not the flesh . FOLLOW FAITHFULLY THE LORD , and He or she who endures faithful to the end , the same shall be saved . FOR JESUS alone has saved us , and JESUS alone can keep us from falling , ONLY what do ye suppose happens to any who take OFF FROM HEEDING HIM . Exactly . So let us remember and behold both the good ness and the severity of GOD . Be not highminded but fear , IF GOD spared not the natural branches , YOU take heed lest he spare not you either . Let us continue on in HIS GOODNESSS , otherwise ye shall be cast out . Be always doing the pattern of correction and of all things that were written for our learning . Feast on those bibles and let us be here for one another . Doing all things with JOY in our heart , DOING them as unto the LORD and exhorting daily , and taking care of any who does lack . Let us be a rejoicing people unto our LORD . And let us be on guard , for satan does not sleep , RESIST HIM by OUR FAITH in CHRIST .

We are already seeing persecutions in the way of verbal assaults by wolves. They would go further than that if they could get away with it, and in time, things will only get worse. The true lambs will not be popular. They will be hated. That is not necessarily true of religious folks, but those who speak only the truth without compromise will not have many friends.

We are already seeing persecutions in the way of verbal assaults by wolves. They would go further than that if they could get away with it, and in time, things will only get worse. The true lambs will not be popular. They will be hated. That is not necessarily true of religious folks, but those who speak only the truth without compromise will not have many friends. This is quite correct my friend . And let us be reminded of the days of noah and lott . For those will be like the days near the end . Let the true lambs endure on faithful in and unto Christ . Always pointing to Christ in all we do and say , always loving and embracing all holy scripture and by that , we test all things that anyone does say and do . The only way the lambs can truly help one another and others , IS by never compromising any doctrine , but rather by just loving it and teaching it . The only true agape love , LOVES TRUTH , LOVES CHRIST above everything , and by that LOVE it sees clearly HOW to help anyone , BY Exhorting ONLY TRUTH to all. IF we ever find ourselves in a place where truth is being compromised for the sake of getting along etc unity , THEN we have found ourselves lacking and in dire trouble . FOR ONLY TRUTH can build one up . ONLY JESUS can save a soul . And JESUS himself not only said to go out and tell the gospel to all and to baptize all HE said TEACH THEM to OBSERVE ALL things I have said . THIS is all attached TO THE GOSPLE that saves . FOR if one truly LOVES CHRIST , THEY TRULY LOVE ALLL THINGS HE SAID and all the TRUTH HE DID SPEAK and the truth that the apostels who spoke and wrote by the SPIRIT did leave us . We would never want to compromise a thing . NO WE LOVE IT . WE TRULY LOVE IT and we LOVE all , so we build them up with PURE bible truth , the words of our LORD and all HE DID INSPIRE .

We must mirror the words of Christ and of the apostles in all things . SO lets examine FAITH .
Remember HOW James once wrote that faith without works is dead , being alone . Lets find some examples on what dead faith means . Titus . THEY profess to KNOW GOD, but deny HIM in works , being abominable and reprobate unto every good work . Paul to timothy . A work . watch this . HE writes , but those who do not take care of their own , specially those of their own house , HAVE DENIED THE FAITH . And a worse than an infidel . THEY Deny something JESUS taught TO DO , THUS THEY DENY HIM . Think about that . And now a word from james , MY brethren DO NOT have the FAITH OF OUR LORD with respect of persons . And respect of persons is not the ONLY SIN . FAITH , real faith , really loving JESUS has its PROOF . AND THAT PROOF is they are hearers and DOERS of the WORD . OF HIS SAYINGS . AND WE are SUPPOPSED to be provoking one another to DO GOOD works . AND to flee evil works and all appearance of evil . GOD will not be mocked , if we sow to the flesh a thousand times a day , just remember , what we sow to is WHAT WE GONNA REAP . Exactly . WE ought never to let any feel rest or give any the idea we can sin a thousand times a day , RATHER let us sound as did JESUS , AS DID PAUL and the others . DO NOT ERR , LET IT NOT be once named among you as becometh saints . WE should say as did JOHN , DO NOT SIN , but if any does err we do have an advocate , ONLY JOHN just like them all knew , YA had to confess and repent TO HIM . Look at how much JOHN himself talks about NOT Sinning and how we can tell the children of GOD from the children of the devil. WE gotta tell all not to err, and let them know if you do have faults , CONFESS and pray ye may be healed . SUCH a different approach about error , THE EARLY CHURCH had , versus todays approach . WE must keep the original approach . Be serious and be grave if one is in error , doing all to pull them out . AND we must firstly , PREACH real sound doctrine that beholds ALL things they said , beholding both the goodness and severity of GOD . Look how serious they were . THOSE WHO SIN , YOU REBUKE BEFORE ALL , SO THAT OTHERS MAY WHAT ...............FEAR . Fear . THIS is good for the church . SO is constanly reminding of the HOPE we have IN CHRIST and always reminding that without HIM we can do nothing . SO that none ever gets highminded and thinks he does by his own power . We can do nothing without CHRIST . BUT preach the other half too , BUT IN HIM we can do all things THROUGH HIM who strengthens us . KEEP all the reminders both warnings and encouragments FLOWING FAT to the end .

We never compromise truth for fellowship and unity . Before I continue we already know about meats drinks and days . SO that simply means one man may believe all things are pure , cept blood , by the word of GOD and prayer but another may not have that fully persuaded mind thus , they cant eatit , or their conscious is defiled . BUT This pertains ONLY to meats drinks and days . NOT TO SIN . Because whether a man eats not , or whether a man eats , IS NOT SIN . ITS they are simply doing it UNTO GOD . So of course we can gather with those who might not be like minded about meats drinks and days , BUT NEVER to doubtful disputations . AKA never war and judge and fight over meats drinks and days . Now to continue on about the NEVER compromise truth for fellowship and unity . LET ME LET PAUL SUM IT UP . MARK those who cause divisions , CONTRARY TO THE DOCTRINE WHICH YOU HAVE LEARNED and AVOID THEM . THAT DONT SOUND LIKE lets put down our differences and find COMMON GROUND . PAUL KNEW TRUTH had to be center , DOCTRINE they were taught , HAD to be followed . AND If any speaks contrary to that doctrine , YOU KNOW like an INCLUSIVE GOSPLE or ETC , MARK THEM , EXPOSE THEM , but don't just sit and hug man .

The simpliest thing for us all is to just do this one thing . GO back into bibles and truly learn very well JESUS and the doctrine the apostels and their doctrine . Learn the holy scriptures . The WORD is our SWORD . And by the power of CHRIST In us , by the feeding on HIS WORDS and the apostels , one will learn and can knock down all the arrows of deceptive men and their lies and precpepts .
WHO do we think even PUT the LOVE FOR TRUTH , FOR CHRIST upon our hearts . GOD DID . But I warn us all , SIN WILL harden a heart and choke the word it does out of many . Lusts sure can choke the word outta folks . SO we better HEED OUR LORD and all HE TAUGHT WE better FOLLOW the SPIRIT and learn well SOUND DOCTRINE which makes one wise unto salvation through faith in CHRIST . And we better eat as hungry lambs on HIS EVERY WORD . Because the deceivers and the deceptions are bad , and about to go into viral mode . Things are coming and getting worse , deceivers are abounding in number and in deception day by day . OUR ONLY DEFNESE IS our FAITH IN JESUS and real faith does not DENY HIM by DENYING what HE TAUGHT . ARMOUR UP , the flood gate of deception has been opened . ALSO , me and another sister are going to be doing all , by grace , that we can to witness to the lost . THAT TOO must big time increase . We can do it through songs , through poems , through mouth , MAKE SURE to always include , JESUS MUST be BELEIVED from the heart and CONFESSED with the mouth in order for any to be saved . Because another dead go spell has arisen called inclusive and it denies that JESUS must be CONFESSED BY MOUTH . ITS A LIE . SO when we witness and when we talk to the church , make sure they know ROMANS EIGHT WELL . THAT JESUS MUST be CONFESSED BY the MOUTH and we must believe that GOD has raised HIM from the dead . FOR with the heart man believes unto RIGHTEOUNESS and by CONFESSION of the MOUTH unto SALVATION . YEP.

And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city. Matthew 10:14-15

There are places where the Lord sends us where we will not be received. That was often the case with the early church. When that happens, we are told to go on to another place and bring the message to them. There are a lot of versions of Christianity being spread all over the world, but many are not in the truth. There is a huge need for us to take the true gospel message to people that never heard it. They may have heard the name of Jesus Christ, but they were given a distorted view of him and what he taught. Rather than be discouraged when we are persecuted in one place, we are told to get up and keep preaching where open doors can be found.

We will only have the opportunity to reach so many as it is. It makes sense that if we are rejected in one place, we should go where there is an open door and not waste time sulking. Jesus never promised serving him would be easy, and that people would love us. He said just the opposite.
