Rejecting the cultural Christianity I grew up with to embrace and enjoy a relationship with Jesus Christ. A place to come and share thoughts about almost anything. Especially things of the Lord. Please no Anonymous posts, I enjoy knowing who is writing to me.

Who Are God's Anointed?
Who are the anointed of God? Simple, all born again believers who have the Holy Spirit living in them are anointed. Each one has a gift or several gifts according to God's decision.
John 16:14-16 "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.…"
Sadly we become confused today because many people who say they are "Christians" were never born again and do not have the Holy Spirit.
Matthew 7:21-23 "21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter.
22 Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many [a]miracles?’
23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.’"
No one will be able to say to God, "but Lord I know I disobeyed your commandments and disregarded you, but you know my heart." Those who are born again love Christ and His principles and commandments.
God knows the heart of those who disobey Him do not love Him.
John 14:15-16 "15 If you love Me, you will keep My commandments. 16 And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate to be with you forever—…"
Luke 10:27
"And he answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.”
John 14:21
"Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.”
1 John 2:3-5 "…3 By this we can be sure that we have come to know Him: if we keep His commandments. 4 If anyone says, “I know Him,” but does not keep His commandments, he is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5 But if anyone keeps His word, the love of God has been truly perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him:…"
Hallelujah, we never have to guess what is God's will, He is always clear if we will seek Him.

Things Jesus Never Said!
YEP, we cannot separate the sin from the sinner, whatever the sinner does is who he is in reality.
Isaiah 59:2-3 "2 But your iniquities have built barriers between you and your God, and your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He will not hear. 3 For your hands are stained with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, and your tongue mutters injustice.…"
Isaiah 1:15
"When you spread out your hands in prayer, I will hide My eyes from you; even though you multiply your prayers, I will not listen. Your hands are covered with blood."
Isaiah 59:2-3 "2 But your iniquities have built barriers between you and your God, and your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He will not hear. 3 For your hands are stained with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, and your tongue mutters injustice.…"
Isaiah 1:15
"When you spread out your hands in prayer, I will hide My eyes from you; even though you multiply your prayers, I will not listen. Your hands are covered with blood."
Psalm 18:46-47
Psalm 18:1-3
Psalm 18:48-49
48 He delivers me from my enemies;
Surely You lift me above those who rise up against me;
You rescue me from the violent man.
49 Therefore I will give thanks to You among the nations, O Lord, And I will sing praises to Your name."
Surely You lift me above those who rise up against me;
You rescue me from the violent man.
49 Therefore I will give thanks to You among the nations, O Lord, And I will sing praises to Your name."
Infiltration of the Devil
I am convinced the devil is infiltrating the minds of many to make them believe things that are not true and to be hostile to the truth.
Unless we have the Holy Spirit and know the word of God we can become victims to the lies of the devil.
Good things will be called bad and bad things will be called good. The churches are full of people who think they are right but are working against Christ with their false doctrine.
2 Timothy 4:2-4 "…2 Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and encourage with every form of patient instruction. 3 For the time will come when men will not tolerate sound doctrine, but with itching ears they will gather around themselves teachers to suit their own desires. 4 So they will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.…"
Some who say that Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven will also be ones that reject the teachings of the Bible as mere suggestions to be ignored if one desires.
John 14:15-16 "15 If you love Me, you will keep My commandments. 16 And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate to be with you forever—…"

Pretenders Fill the Gatherings
Pretenders are angry at the mention of God's truths because it convicts them of sin. I notice that they are never ashamed that they defied God, only mad that you shined the light on their sin.
We are living in "ragingly insane" times as 2 Timothy 3 says. Sadly though most people do not recognize the times, they flow with them.
Many false doctrines are entering the church gatherings! Any opposition to the false doctrine is met with intense anger as well as attempts to discredit the truth teller.
The church gatherings are turning into bastions of entertainment full of blasphemy promoting fleshly pleasure tacking on the name of Jesus to make is all seem spiritual.
2 Timothy 3:5
"Having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people."
Jeremiah 6:14-16 "…14 They have dressed the wound of My people with very little care, saying, ‘Peace, peace,’ when there is no peace at all. 15 Were they ashamed of the abomination they committed? No, they were not at all ashamed. They did not even know how to blush. So they will fall among the fallen; when I punish them, they will collapse,” says the LORD. 16 This is what the LORD says: “Stand at the crossroads and look. Ask for the ancient paths: ‘Where is the good way?’ Then walk in it and find rest for your souls. But they said, ‘We will not walk in it!’…"
The church gatherings are filling the heads of pleasure seekers with superficial platitudes that leave them feeling happy they are enjoying their sin. Instead of convicting them to seek Christ for cleansing they are coddling them further deepening their sinfulness.
1 Peter 4:16
"Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in that name."
2 Timothy 2:15
"Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."
Luke 9:26
"For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed when he comes in his glory and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels."
1 John 1:9
"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
