A son or daughter does what their parents expect of them when living with them. We should not be shocked when our children leave home and become seemingly totally different people.
A person dedicated to righteousness from their heart does not change just because they leave home. The change was not a changed heart but only changed behavior commensurate with their heart all along that they were hiding.
When a son or daughter leaves their parents' home and becomes a different person, they are merely allowing their real selves to come into the open.
I have seen many posts of people astonished that when their child left home, through college or marriage, they were associated with the world and the world changed them. The world can only change someone's outer behavior who was already leaning in that direction.
Children say and do what is expected of them when they are living with their parents. The real them emerges when they are no longer under their parents' authority.
There are always clues when our children live at home, but we ignore them, hoping it was just a phase or they would grow out of those little things that seem off. But those were clues about the character inside and what might happen when they get into the world, out from under their parents' eyes and expectations.
Our prayer for our children ought to be that they trust in Christ and He changes their heart. Many people play a role to fit in while their heart is far different from what we can see on the outside. This is why God told us the following passage in Matthew 7.
Matthew 7:21-23 "21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’
23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’"
Never boast about your children to others; we never know for sure what is really inside. The boasting is for our own aggrandisement and not evidence of truth.

Reparations by Those Who Didn't Do the Crime is the Height of Insanity
Reparations for past injuries to groups of people who were never alive during the time of the atrocities is the worst kind of injustice. It's the same as sending a son to jail for what the father did.
Would you agree to send an 18-year-old son to jail for the crime his father committed against someone? Everyone with a rational mindset would say that would be absurd.
Deuteronomy 24:16 "16 “Fathers shall not be put to death because of their children, nor shall children be put to death because of their fathers. Each one shall be put to death for his own sin."
Jeremiah 31:30 "30 But everyone shall die for his own iniquity. Each man who eats sour grapes, his teeth shall be set on edge."
Ezekiel 18:20 "20 The soul who sins shall die. The son shall not suffer for the iniquity of the father, nor the father suffer for the iniquity of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself."
This is the reason "family feuds" or "racial feuds" are so irrational. Holding a grudge against someone about a sin or crime because they are related to the perpetrator is the height of insanity. And, even worse, holding someone accountable who wasn't even related to the perpetrator merely for being the same race is madness and derangement
Reparations required for those who not only did not commit the crime but even their ancestors were not here to commit the crime is complete insanity.
Sadly, the devil is attempting to pit one race against another without any reason, merely a fantasy in their own minds to be able to express the hatred and anger that is in their own heart.
These irrational mindsets are a result of those who hate God and everyone else. There is anger so deep in their hearts, desiring a reason to justify their hatred, even if it means making up fantasies.
Those who promote this sort of injustice, causing riots and turning people against one another, are being controlled by the devil while thinking it's their own idea. Pray for them, we know they are on their way to hell, and only Christ can expunge that hostility from their cold, stony hearts.
May the born-again believers see this for what it is, tactics of the devil to ruin relationships, and refuse to participate, either by not responding to it or supporting it in any way.
The antidote to this poison is to become the love of Christ Who lives in us toward those who have done nothing to us.

The Nephilim LIe
The biggest lie in these last days that has perverted the Christian faith is the idea that devils mated with humans, creating giants. There were giants in the land but they were not the product of devil-human mating.
I posted these on another thread to different people, so please be patient if you see the same words repeated.
Devils do not procreate; they have no seed. They are a completely different species and cannot mate with anyone, not even among themselves. God said, "each one after its own kind." Cats do not mate with dogs, cows do not mate with horses, and spirit beings do not mate with human flesh.
It is blasphemy to say that devils can create a child in the womb, the same as God the Father did with Jesus Christ. This idea of the nephilim was created by Greek mythology by the devil to make people think that devils have the same power as God does.
To say that devils can do what God the Father did with Jesus Christ is to bring down the miracle of Christ in the womb of Mary. Making devils appear as gods themselves.
The idea that devils can mate with humans is blasphemy, since God the Father was the only One Who can create a human being in the womb, as with Jesus Christ in His mother's womb. Angels and devils do not have a seed; they do not procreate. This whole mess of the idea of hybrid beings is of the devil.
The "nephilim" were not a race of people. The word nephelim is translated "mighty men". Angels never mated with humans; they are spirit beings that do not procreate and have no seed to be able to create human beings. It is blasphemy to say that a devil can do the same thing that God the Father did in placing Jesus Christ in the womb of Mary. The idea of devils mating with humans is the biggest lie being passed around in these last days.
It is astounding to me that so many well-known preachers are teaching this nonsense and blasphemy that comes from Greek mythology. The book of Enoch, where this nonsense comes from was not written by Enoch of the Bible; it was written hundreds of years later and is in no way inspired. It is full of much blasphemy.

Is Man Glorified or is God Glorified in the Gathering
I am so glad the Holy Spirit prays on our behalf. There have been many times when I don't know what to pray or how to pray for someone.
When I have prayed the same prayer over and over again for someone or some circumstance but have not yet seen an answer, I have to trust that God heard me.
I have to trust, too, that all the prayers of the past still count. One more will not change God's mind about His will. He has a perfect answer, and often it is not what we think it should be or what we want.
Romans 8:25-27 "…25 But if we hope for what we do not yet see, we wait for it patiently. 26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know how we ought to pray, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groans too deep for words. 27, And He who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God."
It is astonishing that so many people think they know the best answer for someone else, or the best action that should be taken, even though they have never asked God for wisdom about His heart and desire.
Christ desired that all men would be saved and died to provide that salvation for everyone, but knew that most would not trust in Him.
1 Timothy 2:3-4 "3 This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who wants all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth."
Isaiah 53:1-12 "Who has believed what he has heard from us? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? For he grew up before him like a young plant, and like a root out of dry ground; he had no form or majesty that we should look at him, and no beauty that we should desire him. He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide their faces, he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed."
We have to accept that sometimes our prayers for our loved ones will not be answered, not because God doesn't want to answer, but because He never overrides someone's free will to choose Him.
Just as our desire is that our family members would repent and trust in Christ most will not, this was Christ's experience and it will be ours too.
Yes, we should pray as led by the Holy Spirit and sometimes we are led not to continue to pray because God already knows the heart of those we pray for and knows they will not just as most will not trust in Him.
Psalm 22:7 "All who see me mock me; they make mouths at me; they wag their heads;"
This was Christ's experience and it will be ours too. Rejected and mocked by most because we live in a world that wants to feel safe in church but has no devotion to Christ Himself.
Many church people bring a false gospel, a pretend life without dedication to the word of God, picking and choosing from the Bible what they wish to believe while ignoring many of God's commands and principles.
To deny the Word of God is to deny Jesus Christ because He is the Word.
1 Peter 5:8 "Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour."
The devil has infiltrated most church gatherings and intimidated the attendees to believe they must have a special leader paid to do a job, leaving them silent in the pews while believing everything this leader tells them without a desire to read the Word for themselves, while praying for wisdom. This is the state of the institutional gatherings led by men, but not led by the Holy Spirit.
John 16:13-14 "13 However, when the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all truth. For He will not speak on His own, but He will speak what He hears, and He will declare to you what is to come. 14 He will glorify Me by taking from what is Mine and disclosing it to you."
When we walk in the Spirit of Truth, God will be glorified. When man does his own thing according to his own desires, it is man who is glorified.

When we walk in the Spirit of Truth, God will be glorified. When man does his own thing according to his own desires, it is man who is glorified.

Salvation by Faith Alone in Christ
There are those who think a sin will lose them their salvation. It is the sinful nature that sends people to hell when they refuse to trust in what Christ did for them on the cross.
Good works are not evidence of salvation; the fruit of the Spirit is the evidence, the very character qualities of Christ.
Galatians 5:22-23 "22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law."
Walking in the ways of the Lord is not a requirement for salvation only believing. We do walk in the ways of the Lord as a lifestyle if we are born again. If we mess up because of weakness we remain saved but suffer conviction until we confess it to be cleansed.
The thief on the cross had no opportunity to obey in works, all He did was admit Jesus Christ is God that He claims to be and that He did not deserve to die because He had no sin.
1 John 2:1 "1 My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you will not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate before the Father— Jesus Christ, the Righteous One."
Unsaved people do not have an advocate with the Father, only believers do. Those who are not disciplined are bastard children.
Hebrews 12:5-7 "…5And you have forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons: “My son, do not take lightly the discipline of the Lord, and do not lose heart when He rebukes you. 6For the Lord disciplines the one He loves, and He chastises every son He receives.” 7Endure suffering as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father?…"
Hebrews 12:8 " 8 If you do not experience discipline like everyone else, then you are illegitimate children and not true sons."
If we sin the Holy Spirit goes silent so that we do not have His help until we confess sin.
Revelation 3:19 "Those I love I rebuke and discipline. Therefore, be earnest and repent."
1 Corinthians 11:32 "But when we are judged by the Lord, we are being disciplined so that we will not be condemned with the world."
1 Thessalonians 5:19-22
"19 Do not quench (silence) the Spirit, 20 do not utterly reject prophecies, 21 but examine everything; hold firmly to that which is good, 22 abstain from every form of evil."
When Christ seals us with His Holy Spirit, it is for eternity.
Ephesians 1:12-14 "…12 in order that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, would be for the praise of His glory. 13 And in Him, having heard and believed the word of truth— the gospel of your salvation— you were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is the pledge of our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession, to the praise of His glory.…"
Christ paid the penalty for our sin because we could not pay it. There is nothing we could do that would be good enough; it's why Christ had to die. We could not die for our own sin what makes us think we could do anything less than die to earn or keep our salvation?
Those who fall back were never saved. They were never transformed by Christ and are in need of salvation for the first time.
Matthew 7:21-23 "21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’"
Good works are not evidence of salvation; the fruit of the Spirit is the evidence, the very character qualities of Christ.

Obedience and Salvation are Two Sides of the Same Coin
If someone has been born again, they will never lose their salvation over sin. The question is whether or not those who defiantly remarry after divorce were saved in the first place.
And, those who defiantly support those who are remarried may have never been born again. The thing about God's transformation of our spirit into His Spirit causes us to desire to obey Him. Sin drops off after salvation because no born-again believer can tolerate the conviction of the Holy Spirit while remaining in sin.
1 John 3:8-10 "…8The one who practices sin is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the very start. This is why the Son of God was revealed: to destroy the works of the devil. 9Anyone born of God refuses to practice sin, because God’s seed abides in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God. 10By this the children of God are distinguished from the children of the devil: Anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is anyone who does not love his brother.…"
Born-again believers may fall into sin for a time but they do not stay there, and they do not lose their salvation. Here is why:
,
Hebrews 12:5-7 "…5 And you have forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons: “My son, do not take lightly the discipline of the Lord, and do not lose heart when He rebukes you. 6 For the Lord disciplines the one He loves, and He chastises every son He receives.” 7 Endure suffering as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father?…"
We do not become born again by stopping sin; we become born again by trusting what Christ did for us on the cross, and then He begins the cleansing process while He lives in us.
Those who have been transformed by Christ into a new creation hate sin and love righteousness. When they fall from weakness into a sin, they cannot remain there; the conviction of the Holy Spirit in them will give them no rest.
If someone is born again and does not turn from their sin, the Holy Spirit will go silent and will not hear their prayers. They lose rewards in heaven and do not see the blessings of His wisdom as long as they remain in their sin.
John 9:31 " 31 We know that God does not listen to sinners, but He does listen to the one who worships Him and does His will."
God hears those who "does His will."
1 Thessalonians 5:19-22
"19 Do not quench the Spirit, 20 do not utterly reject prophecies, 21 but examine everything; hold firmly to that which is good,
22 abstain from every form of evil."
A sinful nature keeps unbelievers out of heaven until they repent and desire to be cleansed by Christ. Willfully engaging in sin will keep God from hearing the prayers of the born-again believers.
The salvation message is for those who have never been born again, and rebuke to return to obedience is for those who have already been born again. Sometimes it is hard to discern who is saved and who is not because believers in these last days often have false ideas they learned from their culture and cannot let go of.
May each one seek Christ to see if they are born of the Spirit of Christ or not.
2 Corinthians 13:5 "5 Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Can’t you see for yourselves that Jesus Christ is in you— unless you actually fail the test?"
And, those who defiantly support those who are remarried may have never been born again. The thing about God's transformation of our spirit into His Spirit causes us to desire to obey Him. Sin drops off after salvation because no born-again believer can tolerate the conviction of the Holy Spirit while remaining in sin.
