Good day. Today's video A Bill of Divorcement is on the topic of: Our relationship with the Lord is like a marriage, it requires love and commitment. We committed our life to God by accepting his Son Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour, and accepting his plan of salvation that he planned for us before the foundation of the world; and this spiritual relationship that we committed too is to be cherished and nourished on a daily basis; not just some of the time, but at all times (Matt 6:33, John 8:31-32). Salvation is based on spirit and truth, and we are to worship our Father in spirit and in truth for these are who he seeks to worship him. A relationship, like a marriage, should be based on love, commitment, truthfulness, trust, faithfulness, and sacrifice; such is salvation. We love the Lord because he first loved us; he laid down his life, and gave himself for us (Gal 1:3-5, Eph 5:25, 1Tim 2:5-6, Titus 2:11-14); and in turn we lay down our lives for him (Matt 16:24-26, Gal 2:20), and continue to die to the things of this world so that our relationship with him can become more intimate growing in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and all that we have been blessed with in him. Read Matthew 22:1-14 and John 15:1-11. If we are tempted by the thoughts and the ways of the world and act upon them, we have become unfaithful in our commitment to the Lord, and it will be considered spiritual fornication or adultery. If we are mixing our Christian character or manner of life with the world and its ways (1John 2:15-17) eventually we will end up coming to a crossroad and then we have to choose which one we will serve, the world or God, because the scriptures are clear, no man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other; you cannot serve God and mammon (Matthew 6:24); as well as we are to come out from among them, and be separate, and touch not the unclean thing and the Lord Almighty will receive us and be a Father unto us and we shall be his sons and daughters (2Cor 6:14-18). James 1:12-15 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. (KJV) James 4:4-5 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? (KJV) James 4:4-5 You're cheating on God. If all you want is your own way, flirting with the world every chance you get, you end up enemies of God and his way. And do you suppose God doesn't care? The proverb has it that "he's a fiercely jealous lover." And what he gives in love is far better than anything else you'll find. (from The Message by Eugene H. Peterson) We all have a choice daily to continue in our commitment with the Lord, in the faith, grounded and settled, and not moved away from the hope of the gospel, by not conforming to this world; instead being transformed by the renewing of our mind, that we may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God; or choose to divorce ourself from the plan of salvation by allowing sin to enter in and overtake us. But beware of the consequences of the latter choice… 1 Corinthians 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. (KJV) Give heed dearly loved of our Father; keep yourself delivered from your sins and this present evil world, by continuing faithful in your commitment to the Lord Jesus Christ unto the praise, honor, and glory of God our Father. Because if you continue in spiritual fornication (adultery), you will find yourself with a bill of divorcement written and signed with the finger of God, and sealed with the ring of the King of kings and Lord of lords, and you shall not inherit the kingdom of God; and you will find that your name is blotted out of the book of life, and you will not be a part of the marriage feast of the Lamb (Rev 19:7-9) because you did not keep yourself unspotted from the world; and you will inherit the second death, eternal damnation with others, including the devil and his angels in the lake of fire. So, stay committed in your walk and relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ, and endure to the end in love and faithfulness. God bless and keep the faith.

Good day. Today's video A Corporate Mentality is on the topic of: The Church and taxes. How our Lord Jesus Christ handled the question of paying tribute or taxes; and how he gave us an example of what we as the Church are to do as well. We are to be an example of the believers in all manner of our life; and that includes apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers of the gospel of Christ. The religious organizations today are operating with a corporate mindset concerning taxes and defrauding the people; they have forgotten who they serve and who they are to be serving. God our Father is blasphemed among the unbelievers through that example given by these organizations which say that they follow the teachings of Jesus Christ and his gospel. We are not to be as the many who corrupt the word of God, but to be of the few who hold forth the word of God in sincerity and in truth walking honestly in the sight of God and men. This is the example we have been given. Matthew 22:15-21 Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk. And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou regardest not the person of men. Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not? But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites? Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's. (KJV) Matthew 17:24-27 And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute? He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers? Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free. Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee. (KJV) God has ordained powers (Romans 13:1-8) to keep order and peace on our behalf; and we as Christians, including those organizations that claim to be of God, are to do our part in supporting them. Whether it be through by prayer and supplication on their behalf or by paying our taxes in support of them. Brethren, a workman is worthy of their hire, no matter who it is; and we are not to defraud our neighbor; we are not to look just on our own things but on the things of others. We have been ordained of God through his Son Jesus Christ to minister the word of God in all manner of our life. So do your part in not holding back wages from those who tread out the corn for you, because God our Father in heaven knows all things and hears their cries. Be not conformed to this world: instead, be transformed by the renewing of your mind that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God. God bless and keep the faith.

Good day. Today's video Inside Information is on the topic of: Be sure your sin will find you out; when you least expect it, it will be made manifest and open before the eyes of all, and there will be consequences to live with. But if we confess our sins, God is faithful and just to forgive us and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). The Lord knows your inside information; God knows the thoughts and intents of men's hearts. There is nothing hid that shall not be made manifest (Mark 4:22). All things are open unto the eyes of God (Hebrews 4:12-13). John 8:34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. (KJV) You cannot hide; so instead of trying to outrun your sin or hide it (although it is only hidden to men) or sweep it under the rug so to speak, why not confess it to God through his Son Jesus Christ, since he already knows who you are and what you have been doing, and ask for help in overcoming the hidden thing(s) of darkness that is in your heart, the sin(s) that so easily harasses you, brings you into bondage, or keeps in you in bondage. The truth will set you free. We have a great high priest Jesus Christ the Son of God who sits at the right hand of God forever making intersession for us who is able to help us in time of need, in time of temptation, and in time of overcoming if we come clean and work with him, allowing him to lead and guide us in the victory we already have been given in him by his learning obedience through the things which he suffered and was tempted in or with; by his daily sacrifice of dying to self, his wants and desires, and the death of the cross; and by his resurrection, his victory over sin, seated forever at the right hand of God; and this is where he would like you to remain in him as well, not tossed to and fro by every wind of doctrine or the winds of the prince of the power of the air, the devil, the father of lies (John 8:44) who has sinned from the beginning (1 John 3:8), the roaring lion seeking whom he may devour (1 Peter 5:8). Hebrews 2:17-18 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted. (KJV) 1 John 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. (KJV) Many believe they are getting away with sin doing whatever they want in this life and that nobody sees or knows; but God sees and knows all the thoughts and intents of the heart, and in the end there will be judgment and a sentence of eternal life or death. Choose you this day whom you will serve; good or evil, life or death, God or satan; it is your choice. Just remember God sees all, hears all, knows all; nothing is hidden from him, and you will receive a just judgement either way; one unto eternal life or one unto eternal damnation. 1 Timothy 5:24-25 Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after. Likewise also the good works of some are manifest beforehand; and they that are otherwise cannot be hid. (KJV) Revelation 21:7-8 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. (KJV) Dearly loved brethren, watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. Keep your heart with all diligence for out of it are the issues of life, and look to the Lord for guidance and counsel, correction and instruction in righteousness that you may be perfect and complete in all the will of God (Galatians 1:4) and stand before the judgement seat of Christ without spot or blemish clothed in white raiment, his righteousness. God bless and keep the faith.
