1Cr 6:9-10 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

 

Such were some of us. but we weren't called to work uncleanness but unto holiness, but at least he informs us not to be deceived  on this matter.

 

Though he does speak on our company, and what is called a brother which be the following

 

1Cr 5:11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.

 

Calls them to put the one in the fornication out from among them 

 

His being expelled, was a shunning of sorts, which in 2 Cr they brought him back, not so much before he sorrowed but that he would not be overcome by the same it seems. They seemed to save a soul from the error of their way in this doing.

 

 

2Cr 2:6 Sufficient to such a man is this punishment, which was inflicted of many.

 

2Cr 2:7 So that contrariwise ye ought rather to forgive him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow.

 

So shows he was received back, after he repented

Although it takes some a lifetime to abide by these rules, many falls and learning the hard way to finally realize that we cannot be blessed in life if we're not obedient. I know because I was one of them... 

 

 

 

I was one of them myself too, and for longer then I would have been had someone said something. And it was only at each point someone was unafraid to show me the error of my way (and call it what it was) that I could see it and turn from it.

 

Because when I was let go, and had their acceptance while in my behavior that (to me) was like shutting up the the Kingdom to me because I needed to repent.

 

For example, I had no clue what fornication was (at the first) and so I was showing up to church enjoying fellowship having no idea, until the pastor addressed me on it, and it was at that point I become afraid because I wouldn't inherit the Kingdom of God if I continued in that doing. So in fear I fled from it. So I appreciate anyone not shunning to declare to me the full counsel of God in respects to the same. I needed to be corrected and shrinking from that for fear to do so would have never saved me from the error of my way.

 

God bless you!

 

Exactly! Glad you and I are on the same page :secret-talk: had to use that one lol

And God bless you too sis.

Hebrews 6:4 "For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, IF THEY FALL AWAY, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to open shame

 

It sounds like its very possible to have once been a born again Holy Spirit filled Christian, and simply let the deceitfulness of sin draw you away from the faith, and bring you to a place where you are no longer abiding in the love of God

David (by some) is considered not to be born again, even though he was filled with the Holy Ghost and spake by the same, but David also did evil

 

2Sam 12:9 Wherefore hast thou despised the commandment of the LORD, to do evil in his sight? thou hast killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.

 

Yet for the most part it says this of David

 

1Kings 15:5 Because David did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, and turned not aside from any thing that he commanded him all the days of his life, save only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.

 

Thats a pretty good record for those who use David as an example of a sinner (and who some believe was not born again)

 

Whereas in the psalm (Psalm 51)  which was written when Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba (Uriah's wife) that's what David feared

 

He wrote,

 

Psalm 51:11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.

 

Because He took his Spirit away from Saul

 

1Sam 16:14 But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him.

 

But it does say David did what was right save only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.

Matthew 7:13-14

Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

All that is recorded that came into the presence of God (OT) immediately recognized they vile selves inwardly outwardly

[allwardly (I know not a word :) )] except Paul and John (NT) old / new a division in God's Word... 

We born as sin in a place of sin and there exists two things God is interested in-> this the truth Jesus brought into the world Jn18:37

2 Peter 3:10-13

10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise,

and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.  11 Therefore,

since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, 12 looking

for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the

elements will melt with fervent heat? 13 Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new

earth in which righteousness dwells.
NKJV

this is what this man was preaching on.... if all that is here is without worth and set for the fire EXCEPT BUT for people

and His Word -> what does your life consist of in priorities? It is not rocket science is it? 

The children should be about eternal matters not the temporary... 

1 John 2:15-17

15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all

that is in the world — the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life — is not of the Father but is of the world.

17 And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.
NKJV

what is the will of the Father

2 Peter 3:9
9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that

any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
NKJV

give your life to telling others the truth as He has told you ...

Love, Steven

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
