“It is finished!” (John 19:30)

[Lizbeth]

kinda like when peter john and others did so . When they also preached the word .
When they also said save YOURSELvES from this untoward generation .
Might i suggest we all go back into the book of acts again . And perhaps also the gospels .
WHEN we read the gospels i want us to look at EVERYTHING JESUS DID and Spoke .
When we read acts look at what they said as well . What a suprise , and what a shock to this generation this will be my friend .
JESUS did not go around not correcting sin and error . OH HE DID .
And unto anyone who even invited this CHRIST JESUS to dinner, TO come into their own house ,
JESUS would immediately correct error . And you would marvel at what he thought about man .
FOR JESUS KNEW what was in man . Jesus didnt try and pander to man to WIN MAN . HE simply lived and spoke the truth .

I'm sure Jesus would have corrected them in love mostly. Rather than in a fire and brimstone kind of way....from scripture that was reserved mostly for the religious leaders. Have to remember too that Jesus was speaking to His own people......for us that would translate to members of the church, rather than unbelievers. There is a difference in the way we approach those who profess Christ as opposed to lost souls, generally. There is also a difference between preaching and simply witnessing.

Jesus was Jesus.....God in the flesh and sinless. He had the right to throw down the mantle with anyone if He so chose. But here are we, former sinners....I don't feel I have the right to go around rebuking unbelievers for their sins (unless the Lord unctions) because I was once a sinner and in unbelief the same as them.

JESUS corrected them exactly as HE was led to do .
We see compassion upon the adulterous lady
We see whips upon those in the temple .
WE see
Save some by compassion and others by fear. We do as we are led to do sister .
And when it came to sin within the body , they were super fast to correct it .
THE KEY .
THE KEY is WORRY NOT about what to say . FOR HE will give us a mouth .
THE KEY also is , NEVER COMPROMISE .
I do not worry about what i am going to say to anyone .
ALL we need do is pray for utterance from a heart that truly desires to please GOD and
to help any that we can .
And one more thing . THERE is and has always been a difference in
HOW a man appraoches verses how a woman does . No one expects you TO get up on any pulpit
and delcare anything to anyone . Nor will the woman correct like a man does .
SO do not let my more grave approach frighten you . TRUTH is
i fall far short of the gravity of those i read about in that bible .

I don't think anyone should presume to reprimand and rebuke unbelievers, unless they are being unctioned by the Lord to do so. Some save with fear, others with compassion. But I believe most are drawn to Jesus through the love of God. I was too. That seems to be the testimony of most, although some do have a testimony of being saved by fear.

we all were drawn by GOD . and always remember
Love corrects , it even puts the fear of GOD upon a soul .
Look at all the examples in the bible .
And then let us look at what occurred greatly during the last days
of even JERUSELAM when it too DID exactly WHAT CHRISTENDOM NOW DOES .
The few warned , the many prophesied of smooth things and of peace .
And now a word of reminder .
PEACE N SAFETY IS NOT what is about to COME upon this generation
and its ecumeincal love , its intefaith of anti christ
its inclusive god has DECIEVED them all and misled them
into Beleiving a fat LIE .
PEACE n safety IS NOT c oming for them sister .
THIS IS
SUDDEN DESRUCTION , and that by THE CHRIST OF GOD
their love and their peace DENIED .
ALways the smooth talkers and decievers were what most TOOK heed unto
and had led them only farther and father away from GOD
and only into more and more rebellion against HIM .
And that is exactly what most of all even christendom now does . Tick tock .....................tick tock .
TIMES running out sister . We must do all to point to Christ
and we cannot be as the many who always run of those who do warn .
WE SHOULD PRAY FOR SUch men . THE buiding is not barely smoking sister
THE WHOLE THING is burning . And if they wont come out
THEY GOING DOWN with it ON JESUS DAY .

Reread you last sentence . you well said we all were former sinners .
Look at paul . Look at how much he himself had even persecuted the church .
You might be wondering why i said this .
Because while paul let them know he had been the worst of the worst
and while its true paul wrote even the corinthians a heads up letter to repent of their sins or prepare for the Rod ,
Notice paul didnt go around saying to the church .
HEY i was a former sinner , SO I JUST DONT FEEL i have the right to rebuke any of them .
You see that is a step in the wrong direction .
And what step do you think that step JUST shut down . WHY THE MOUTHS of those who would
speak the TRUTH , that would correct
SISTER if i could not warn anyone just because i was once the same sinner living it up in sin ,
THEN HOW ON EARTH would TRUTH have even went forth .
WE ALL ARE SINNERS in dire NEED OF CHRIST JESUS . Who by THE SPIRIT
has now given unto us NEW desires to please God .
And of course YOU DO as you are LED by GOD to do . And beleive me , I AINT asking you to get up
on a platform and correct or usrurp authority over any .
JUST keep praying to GOD for utterance . And worry NOT about what you are going to say .
And watch . YE shall be unctioned from time to time on what to say and what to speak and to do .
Because THAT IS what GOD D OES . Its us who can DO Nothing without HIM .
SO let us just remember , NEVER compromise . And wait upon the LORD for utterance .
And pray to the LORD that he send laborers into the harvest . THE hour is very late indeed dear sister .
