Good evening sister saints who are striving in all holiness and obedience because of what Christ has done!
Praises to our heavenly Father for sending His Son to save us from our sins (saints are not called sinners you know) and showing us the way if we follow after Him. See the biblical gospel HERE which is not just faith alone, it includes repentance (most forget that) and we must be born again (most forget that) and then we must be obedient (most forget that) and endure through to the end (most forget that). We've had to deal with a lot of people claiming the grace of God but overlooking the importance of works, that go along side a living faith, without the works the faith is dead and so will be the person who practices the latter choice. It's called fruit and without it we'll be cut off, not sure what's so hard to understand about the MANY scriptures that teach that. Even if all we had was one scripture on it...this would cover it.
Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. James 2:24
I get really tired of people twisting the scriptures like that and every single one of them has sin they are defending. They would rather just get mad at the person telling them the truth than to repent of their sins. God is NOT going to welcome sinners into heaven, this is what's going to happen...
Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
Revelation 22:14-15
Only those who have done His commandments (WORKS) will enter in and those who are all those bad things won't and those who love and practice a lie WON'T. Lies would be such things like false gospels, Christ-mass and all the other pagan holidays and festivals, man made religion, worldliness, unbiblical dress and no headcovering, feminism, and trying to pull a true saint from the truth and get them to believe lies, and other such wicked deeds that man would rather do than repent and serve a holy God. I'm so thankful that the sisters I know are not allowing themselves to be deceived by false teachings and are clinging to the truth no matter what the cost.
We've had a barrage of all sorts of unbiblical people either defending their sins or trying to bring in heresy and I'm sounding the alarm sisters (again) to keep your Ephesians 6 armor on. This kind of brings me to the point of the post of 'Liberty Around Loved Ones". Today I made an audio (you can listen to that HERE) and talk about how the world will reap what they sow and that we godly women have to obey God over man, regardless of what the world thinks. (It is kind of the second part to the post I did yesterday with an audio that you can find HERE.)
Speaking of Titus 2 duties, since it's a big part of our lives...
Clothes washing...
God drying them...
Sewing...
Unsewing...
I asked brother James if we could put the bird feeders up.
Let's see if any show up:-)
Corn in the squirrel feeder...
Dinner prepared...
And served...
A beautiful sunset from our Father...
And end the evening...
Praises to our King of Kings and Lord of Lords who offers the hope of eternal life to those who are willing to lose their life.
And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.
He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.
Matthew 10:38-39
Keep focusing on things above sisters saints. Brother James and I were just talking about that after having gone through some sad trials as of late with darkness lingering around, trying to take hold but we refuse! We look up!
And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
Luke 21:28
Don't let anyone lead you astray sister saints and I'm here to encourage you on.
Much love and sister hugs to you all,
Sister Deb
