This is the Jesus I worship. This is the Jesus Who holds me. This is the Jesus that manifests Himself to me.

He is.

His yoke is easy. His burden is light. He is meek and lowly in heart. He provides rest for us to find. He brought grace and truth. All who came before Him were thieves and robbers.
..
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Matthew 11:28-30

And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.

We are truly living in the days of Noah. In so many ways.

There is like a ship, and those who are being obedient are witnessing the Lord bring many to board the ship, and it is God Who is calling them, and it is God Who will save them from tribulation and His wrath.

I pray you all will be on it.

It is not me who needs to be satisfied. It is not me who has the power to destroy both soul and body in Hell.

For those who have turned to preach real truth and have forsaken preaching their old dogmas, that's all it takes to make me think you've repented, but God sees and truly knows your heart.

The implications of what I'm saying are quite gigantic. If one of these Pastors sees their self in the words which I am using to describe these charlatans, it would require an act of God to free them, to cause them to see their need to confess and repent as greater than their need to please men.

Some of these charlatans have repented, from what I have seen, even if they haven't come right out and confessed publicly that they have been preaching wrong all along, but most of them probably never will, and I am apparently assigned to watch them wreck their ship, week after week, until the end.

They claim that my words attack them, but if my words seem to attack, it is because they are living in lies, and proclaiming that the Spirit of the Lord God is upon them; that they are anointed to preach good tidings unto the meek; to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives...

These so-called "Christian" Pastors have no real expectations that anyone will hear what they are saying and believe it and be transformed into light, because they have never believed it their self, and they have not been transformed by the Holy Spirit to be a child of God, yet they claim to be so.

Out of one side of their mouth, they preach some things that the Bible says to preach, even saying that God wants us to be righteous, to repent, to walk as Jesus walked, but then out of the other side of their mouth they normalize and enforce sinning as the status quo, and alienate the righteous.

They perpetually preach sermons where they remain in a constant "truth," as they call it, that "you've sinned this week, even today, even in the last few minutes, and I have too because, look around, we all do," and anyone who would claim to be living by the power of God would be shunned and mocked.

The spiritual leprosy that these people hold onto has become the new hypocrisy, much worse than the righteous hypocrisy of the Pharisees and Saducees, this new hypocrisy prevents anyone in their ranks from even desiring righteousness, or believing or expecting that God would help them live holily.

They think that "just a sinner saved by grace" is a perpetual identity that they must hold onto, and that this is somehow a humble way of living, even though they ignore the vast majority of what the Old and New Testaments teach us about God, His righteousness, and His will for us.

Somehow, these seared consciences have entered a mental arena where they have like the opposite problem, while yet the same worse problem, as the ancient Pharisees and Saducees did, so that instead of thinking their righteousness gets them to God, they think their "just a sinner" mentality does.

There is like a rubber band snap that these words will invariably cause for some of the false teachers who are teaching their traditions, which includes calling their traditions the same as the Word of God. They will blurt out, "saved by grace through faith and not by works," as if that argues this.

Do you love Jesus? Not if you don't keep His commands.

Do you want Jesus to manifest Himself to you? Not if you don't keep His commands.

Do you live? Not if you don't keep His commands.

Do you have eternal life as a child of God? Not if you don't keep His commands.

Are you abiding in Jesus Christ?

If you keep His commands, Jesus says you will abide in His love.

If you abide in Him, Jesus says He will abide in you and you will bring forth much fruit.

If you do not, Jesus says you will be cast away to wither and to burn.

Over and over and over again, Jesus and His disciples tell us of the importance of "if" we keep His commands, "if" we abide in Him, "if" "if" "if," along with the warnings about those who do not.

The very worst position in this life is to be someone who falsely thinks they are going to be saved from wrath, and that their salvation is like a "Get out of jail free" card in a Monopoly game, thinking that there is no transformation, no new beginning, no righteous holiness to be had in this life.

If you are saved, from what?
If not from sin and death, then it isn't Christ Who has saved you.

If you have been made alive in Christ, it is because Christ is alive in you, and this happens when you have heard about and trusted in Him, and crucified your old man, so that He may live in you.

Christian, you are not able to identify as a sinner any longer, once you have heard about what Christ has done for you, and trusted in Him to wash you clean. If you continue to identify as a sinner, then you either haven't heard the clear Gospel, or you have rejected Him Who took your punishment.
