Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. Matthew 10:32-33

If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?
For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angles. Luke 9:23-26

When I was thinking about things people can do that will disqualify them from having an inheritance in the Kingdom of God, this came to mind, denying the Lord or being ashamed of the Lord and His words. Think about this for a minute.
If the Lord is denying you before the Father and the angels, where would that leave you? If He is not interceding and acting as your great High Priest, where would that leave you? If you are ashamed of the Lord and His teachings before men, and he is therefore ashamed of you before the Father and the angels, and therefore never mentions your name or confesses to knowing you, where will that leave you at the time of the judgment.
These are things that I doubt most ever really take serious, but we all need to. Jesus means what He said and said what He means. I do not think most really understand that, because they have gotten caught up into the phony grace message from the false teachers of our day. Have you ever found yourself denying the Lord, perhaps in the company of people that would not see Him as "cool?" Have you been shying away from admitting you are a Christian and associated with Jesus in the company of some folks that would not understand? That is serious business. If you have, I urge you to repent today, and change that behavior. It would be a sad thing to hear the Lord say that He never knew you and then to depart from Him, all because you denied Him in this life and were ashamed of Him in front of your friends.

I think we've all been guilty of shying away from the Lord around certain people. We shouldn't be though.

There is an answer to all those questions . and the answer is the same . To sum it up the answer is , the lake of fire . I know that is a very direct answer , but its a very grave truth . Thus let all be praying , as did paul , that utterance may be given that all may bodly speak and make Manifest the pure and holy words of our LORD . The beauty is , all we need is JESUS . the tragedy is that most will not Heed Him. Let us always be praying for strength , for utterance , feasting upon the holy sound biblical doctrine of our Lord . Let us be hearers and Doers of the word . Every word is for our good and it works good to those who do hear and obey . For every word of GOD works good to the soul of the one who is a hearer and a doer . And lambs must stir one another up by way of remembrance of those very words and the pattern HE did set . If we HEED HIM , and as He said and the apostels did say , their faith will only grow and grow . But when we heed emotions and thoughts of men , prepare for a fall . Its so essential that folks return to bibles . In this day and age , we live in a world with access to tons of information and tons of opinions , and sadly , by and large they are in error . But the Word and words of GOD , coupled with HIS SPIRIT are able to wake us up and make us sharp and so that our senses our sharp , our faith grows and our foot slips not .

I think we've all been guilty of shying away from the Lord around certain people. We shouldn't be though. This is why reminders of truth and of holiness , of every WORD JESUS said and the apostles also said , IS so needful . Do you realize that most people , and i speak of many in churches , have the wrong image of GOD . ITS way to sensual . They have this image that , while God does not approve of error and sin , He wont reallly do the things the BIBLE said HE would if folks repent not . Instead at most you get this , HEY everyone GOD knows and understands we all err , He knows we cannot stop etc , Nothing like how paul , JESUS , james or peter sounded . WHILE it is true folks do err , THEIR approach was ERR NOT and they saw sin as DEADLY . Instead today , they focus on this imcompatible love . They have made Love itself an idol , and i am not talking about TRUE LOVE , i mean this sensual love that is not compatible to TRUTH , TO GOD . We got this my best friend syndrome , yet oops where is the part about , IF YOU KEEP MY SAYINGS . I have called YOU FRIENDS , IF YOU KEEP MY SAYINGS . Its got so bad , and this love has grown so big and bold , not only does it now accept even gay marriage as love , ITs made GOD out to DENY HIS OWN SON as the ONLY SAVOIR . ALL inclusive social gosple , really is RIGHT FROM HELL . But its where sadly most are headed . YET all we ever needed was the real biblcal JESUS , from all HIS warnings to all HIS promises to all his instruction , OH THE GOOD it would have worked unto those who had heard and were doers . But today to remind one of being a doer , even that is sadly called legalism . SO i leave us with a few questions . ONE. HOW MANY TIMES did JESUS speak and warn of HELL FIRE , TO NOT SIN , and to be hearers and DOERS . HOW many times did the apostels warn about not erring , NOT letting inquity once be named . And how JESUS Did say not to fear man and what he can do , but to fear simply GOD . and how the apostels echoed that . YES , WE got more problems within christanity than an algebra book has problems . AND yet one simple solution . CLING TO JESUS and READ those BIBLES .

I think we've all been guilty of shying away from the Lord around certain people. We shouldn't be though. Thus today is a new day . CLING TO JESUS and Let us open bibles , learn and grow in the grace of GOD . For whosoever shall deny HIM , HE WILL DENY US . JESUS spoke perfectly . He never spoke one word too many or one word to less . It was straight forward , and if simply HEED it , oh how it would work good unto the souls of those who both hear and do , beliving from the heart that JESUS cannot lie . IF JESUS said it , then simply beleive it . FOR from every warning , every reminder , every promise , IF IT came from HIS MOUTH , BANK ON IT . Here is also another saying that came from HIS Mouth and as all HIS sayings , BANK ON IT . WHOSOEVER beleives on me shall not come into condemantion , but has passed from death unto life . But here is another saying . ONLY HE who endures to the end shall be saved . WE cant omit things . WE must BELEIVE ALL things HE DID say . THAT IS HOW one will GROW . IT truly is .

That is how simple it is . IF JESUS said it , BELEIVE IT . TRUST IT , KNOW IT , OBEY IT .
That is how one will grow . But if we take off from heeding HE who speaks from heaven , and start heeding those who do speak and twist things HE said , rest assured their will be but one reward at the end . AND that reward i would not wish upon my worst enemy . HELLFIRE is not pleasant . Now are we gonna heed men , OR JESUS . men of today , or the apostels . mens and thier books , OR THE BIBLE . WE GOT A CHOICE FOLKS . AND I SAY CHOOSE YE THIS DAY the BIBLICAL JESUS CHRIST and not men . TRUST IN JESUS and not in men or ourselves . TRUST IN HIM . Oh dear so many are not gonna make it . To me that is very sad , but so long as we sing the one true pure song OF JESUS , then at least we did all we could to have possibly saved some by pointing ONLY TO JESUS and all biblical doctrine , HE DID INSPIRE . For we are to be fellowhelpers to the truth , BY THE SPIRIT . not twisters of HIS WORDS to make folks feel welcome and comfy in sin . It wont work good for them and WOE it wont work good for those who did this unto them either . SPEAK TRUTH and be PLAIN about it . Learn the bible and speak by the SPIRIT and test all spirits .

Everyone today seems to have this, "Jesus said it BUT teaching," or this "The Bible says it "BUT..." There are ways they go about making the plain meaning not so plain to allow for everyone to get saved and stay saved regardless of what scripture says. I feel like the Lord is tired of people doing that, and He want us to go about preaching the Word of God as written with no excuses. Many will wind up in hell for believing the lies of the false teachers today.

I am reminded of Peter, and how when he got scared, he denied the Lord 3 times, even to the point of cursing. The Bible states that if we deny Jesus, he will deny us before the Father in heaven. At that moment, Peter was lost, but thankfully, in His great mercy, the Lord had the disciples call for him after His resurrection, and Peter was truly converted. After that, there was no more denying Jesus, ever. Tradition says that Peter was crucified upside down for his faith.

When the angel spoke of the resurrection of Jesus, he said the following, in Mark 16:6-7...
Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him. But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you.
The angel made a distinction between the disciples and Peter at that point.

Something else too . Notice peter had denied JESUS three times . Notice , later , that JESUS asked him THREE times , Lovest thou me peter , and to feed my sheep .
