Holiness Has Not Changed

The Word of God commands the people of God to love they Lord with all they heart, and with all thy  soul and with all thy mind. There is something about loving the Lord will all that is with in you.  When you love the Lord like that, you will not allow anyone or anything to come between you and your God!  For in order to stand in this last and evil day, one has to love Jesus like that.  Perilous times are coming upon the land.  It will take an unmovable love for the Lord to withstand. Be encouraged to love Jesus with all your heart.  You are going to need Him. www.steadfastapostolic.com

This is day that the Lord has made.  Let us rejoice and be glad in it. This is a good day to decide to obey the Gospel of Jesus Christ and live the God chosen abundant life.   If you have health, strength, family, needs being met, this is a good day to tell the Lord thank you and obey His word. If you lack health, strength, family, needs being met, come to the Lord.  For he has said he shall supply all our need according to His riches in glory (Philippians 4:19) . Jesus loves you.  He just can not condone sin.  Why?  For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord (Romans 6:23 ).  And, Jesus did not come for anyone to die, but so that men can live. I get asked all the time, how to do this, have a happy life.  My response, 'its all in Jesus'.  For in Jesus, He makes things alright.  Even in the midst of life's storms, He makes things all right. He's a keeper for He has said "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace

The Bible teaches that man shall not live by bread alone. But, by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God (Matthew 4:4 and Luke 4:4).  What words actually proceedeth out of the mouth of God?  Well, those words are found in the Bible.  John 1:1 says, "in the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God."  Then the chapter goes on to say, "and the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us"  (verse 14a). If a soul is going to be saved, it is going to take the Word of God.  It is going to take the Word of God preached to the soul.  It is going to take that soul seeking out the ways of the Lord and becoming a doer of the Word he or she hears preached. In Proverbs 28:9 it states, "He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination." An abomination is something the Lord hates.  If a person does want to sit under sound doctrine so the born again experience can take place, that persons prayer

Psalms 34:19 says, "Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all."  This is a scripture with promise. Afflictions are going to come to those that walk up right.  The Saint has to know that tribulation worketh patience and patience experience, and experience and hope and hope maketh not ashamed.  The Bible says it like this, "And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience, and experience hope: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us."   Romans 5:3-5 . Trials come to make the believer strong.  Strong in what?  Strong in faith towards the Lord.  For the Bible says without faith it is impossible to please God. The Lord wants to bless His people and make ways for them.  The people of God must have faith not just when things are good, but when it's time to go through.

The world says today is Good Friday.  I am not sure where that came from as I can not find the term in the Bible.  In Isaiah 1:14 the Word says, "your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me, I am weary to bear them." I am beginning to understand why the Lord hates man made days.  For man made days can make a person do what the Word of God can not.  God says, "Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another; and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching" (10:25).  In other words, the Bible says we are to assemble together and even the more so as we see the Word being fulfilled.  Going to Church should be done every week as often as possible.  Every time, time is set aside for the believers to gather, the believers should gather.  But, more and more 'believers' are not gathering like they use to. However, Easter Sunday, Churches will be full.  People will

The Bible states the following in Revelation 22:19,"And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book." I recently took the time to watch some of the movie, The Passion of the Christ.  I realize it is years old, many have stated how good it was, etc.  So, when it came on last evening I took the time to watch.  Who was the woman carrying the boy or small man that followed along in the crowd?  Why did they not show the veil in the temple splitting in two?  Instead they showed the temple being shaken-ed? Where in the scriptures does it say that Mary and Mary Magdalene wiped the blood of Jesus from the street?  Where in the scriptures does it say that Mary Magdalene gave Jesus a towel to wipe blood from his face?  These are added things that make the account untrue. This why one should study the word of God and go to a

Jesus came to seek and save the lost.  He did not come for men to try and hide their true selves.  Jesus came to save man from his or her true self. The only way to get delivered from sin, delivered from faults is to confess and repent of them them to the Lord Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world.   Trying to hide the real you so other will not criticize you will not save you.  Jesus already knows all about you.  He sees your coming and your going.  His eyes are in every place beholding the evil and the good.  He knows what you are made of.  He knows your heart. So many times I hear people say, 'the Lord knows my heart'.  But it is said with a spirit of pride.  A spirit that fails to realize the Lord is looking and that which is not of the Lord, needs to come out!  How we treat others, how we talk to others reflects how we  serve the Lord.  The Word says, "by this shall all men know your are my disciples, if ye have love one to another (John 13:35).  The Bible says al

The Word of the Lord teaches 'And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:" - Hebrews 9:27 There is a song that says, 'pay day is coming after while (put your time in), payday is coming after while.  One day each of us will face death (unless the rapture takes place).  Will you be ready? The Church is the way the Lord chose for men, women, boys and girls to find salvation before death comes.  For after death, comes judgement.  You can not repent after death.  You can not make things right with someone after death.  Death is the end to life.  One day, each of us will face death. The Church is the place where repentance and the born again experience take place.  The Bible says how can they hear without a preacher?  It takes the Word preached to a soul for salvation to come.  The soul needs to know what the Lord is going to be looking for.  All sin must be paid for prior to death.  Jesus paid the sin debt.  He is the savior of the world.  Co

In I Corinthians, Paul is instructing the Church at Corinth concerning speaking in tongues.  Paul is helping the believers to  understand that speaking in tongues is not to be misused.  Is is to be done in order in the Church.  For, there could be those in attendance that are not saved and would not understand the act of speaking in tongues.  In verse 12, the Word says, "Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church".  Then the scriptures go on to say, "Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret". If one speaks out in church in tongues, unless there is interpretation, the tongues is out of  order.  For the Bible says he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.  But, he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and comfort (verse 3). So, care must b
