We live in a world where we all have been taught since childhood how to only be obedient and do right, or follow rules out of fear of punishment. This is why I can understand how preachers who don’t understand God’s grace can be afraid of the message of Grace. Because in their mind, if a person believes that they are forgiven of past, present, and future sins. Then what is going to stop a person from committing sin is how they think.This is the mindset of someone who does not trust God’s ability by the Holy Spirit inside of his people. I am fully aware that some people will try and use God’s grace and forgiveness as an excuse to indulge in things that they shouldn’t. But here is the thing, if a person thinks that way, they are deceived. Second, sin will destroy your life. But the fear of someone trying to take advantage of God’s grace should not hinder us from preaching the truth of his Grace. When you know what God’s truth that is believed in the heart of a person produces, you won’t be afraid and so concerned about how they will behave. The performance and behavior of someone who claims Christianity is not the determining factor of God’s truth. This is what it means to walk by faith and not sight.
Departing from the faith.
I Timothy 4:1-3 NKJV
Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron, forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.
I’m sure for most of us, this scripture has been taught that a person has left the faith entirely. But when you look at the next two versers after the first verse. It’s say people will give heed to demons, to forbid marriage and to abstain from certain foods. We see this in some catholic fellowships, where the leaders forbid to marry, and many people these days, including Christians are abstaining from certain foods out of fear. I believe that departing from the faith is not losing salvation. But rather departing from faith alone in Christ to also trusting in your works and being deceived by doctrine from demons that’s not true. The Apostle Paul says that he kept the faith. And what I believe he meant by that was that he kept the faith of trusting in the righteousness of Christ and not his own (Philippians 3:9). Paul departed from faith alone in Romans 7 and a had a sin revival in his life. Paul learned from this mistake and never departed from the faith again.

Not trying to be like Jesus
All religions are in one way or another trying to BE LIKE Jesus. For instance, most religions believe that Jesus was a Good man and teacher who fulfilled the Law, and because so they believe that they have to uphold it to the best of their ability by trying to copy him as a good person. Religion also believes that they should enforce the Law and condemn people who don’t follow it, or try. Now as mentioned earlier, religions are trying to be like Jesus. Jesus is God manifested in the flesh, so in actuality religion is trying to BE LIKE God. Now to try and be like God is not a bad thing, but what did satan tell Eve and Adam? That they could be LIKE GOD by what they do. So religion is inspired by satan to push people to try and BE LIKE God by their works. This produces self righteousness and sin in people’s lives. This is why Jesus told the pharisees that they were of their father the devil. The only way you can truly be like God is to have him live in you by his Holy Spirit that enters you upon acceptance of Jesus finished work. I’m not trying to be like Jesus, I’m already like him because of his doing, not my works. Let him who has a ear hear what the Spirit is saying. My Son is not like me because of what he did for me, or tried to be like me. He’s like me because he was born from me. It’s the same with us and God.
If it condemns humanity, then it’s not from God.
If it condemns mankind, then it’s not from God. For those of you who are familiar with the sharia Law. If you notice, it’s designed to appear as if it wants to stop evil. But the reality of it is this, it’s design to condemn a person to death, or severe punishment for breaking religious laws. Such as drinking, smoking, not praying, etc. Just like Jesus said about the self righteous pharisees. The people who enforce the very punishment for these acts are guilty themselves of breaking them. This is truly the behavior of of a hypocrite. These things that they are trying to get people to stop doing are things that are detrimental to a person, but a person has a free will to do whatever they want. God never told us to go and condemn (without condoning these things) people, but rather love them and share the good news. The scriptures are clear what strengthens sin in people’s lives, and it’s not Grace, but Law (1Cor15:56). Remember church, we are not ignorant of Satan’s devices. And the sharia Law is definitely his device. Any system of rules set in place for man to break for him to be punished is from satan. I’m not talking about the Laws put in place to govern the society that we live in to keep people safe from evil people. I’m talking about Laws such as religious ones, even laws from gangs are designed to punish you for the littlest thing. The enemy hates humanity, not Just Christians but even the very people who are deceived by him. God loves us and has done everything in his power to free us and to have relationship with him through Jesus Christ.
Confession of sin
Confession is the Greek Word (homologous) which means to say the same thing. Which means a true biblical confession to God would be one of saying what God says about our sin. And that is that they were placed on the body of Jesus Christ and condemned (Romans 8:3). There has been one scripture, 1John 1:9 that has been taking out of context in order to support a Doctrine of having to ask God for forgiveness to be saved and cleansed. God has forgiven us way before we were born. The true confession is to come to a realization of what Christ did regarding sin, and that will cleanse our conscious from unrighteous unbelief. And we will began to experience the forgiveness that has been made available to us in Jesus. When Jesus told the pharisees that they would die in their sin, that is because they were rejecting the only forgiveness of sins which was Christ himself. Now there is a confession of sin that we are to confess to one another If we do each other wrong. And that is because people are not as merciful as God is, and will normally not forgive you until you apologize. But to constantly confess sin to God in order to receive forgiveness is actually a strong indication that you don’t believe you are already forgiven.
The true meaning of “Do what thou Will”
“Do what thou will”.
Now for anyone who has heard the saying “do what thou will” immediately identifies the saying with the satanic belief system of the occult. The saying appears to humanity as if it’s freedom, that one can just indulge in whatever they so desire. Which people can, but the things that they promote are things that are detrimental to yourself and others, it’s really bondage being promoted, trying to appear as liberty. Jesus said that whoever commits sin is a slave to it. Most People don’t have to be given the green light, or the go ahead to do what’s in there hearts to do already. But seeing how the church has been placed in bondage under Law, I wrote this article to give believers in Christ the green light, or the go ahead in explaining what “do what thou will” means when looked at from the perspective of the Spirit of truth.
Phillippians chapter 2 verse 13
(NKJV) says this -for it is God who works in you both to WILL AND TO DO for His good pleasure. Romans 5:5 also says that the Love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us. What this means is that in the heart of the born again is the Love of God, as well as a desire to do for God’s will and good pleasure. Remember how when you and I didn’t know Jesus, we did what we wanted to do? Be it smoking, drugs, fornication etc. Well its the same as a believer, God now gives us the desire to do what he wants, and what we now want is the desires he gave us because we are one with him. Desires such as reading his Word, share his Love, live a Holy life, support the Gospel financially etc. Often times someone on the outside looking in looks at us Christians and think that we are doing something against our own wills. But in actuality, we are doing what we want. Which is God and our will that he gave us because we are One. When the Apostle Paul fell victim to the Law after being born again in Romans 7. He explains to us how the Law kept him from doing what he really wanted to do.Romans 7:15, 19 NKJV
For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do. For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice.
The Law actually keeps us from doing “what thou will” and is what will strengthen sin in your life (1Cor 15:56)
So from the perspective of the satanists. This term is presented as a lie of course. But as a Saint, I can with confidence tell a believer to do what thou will. Because God has given us his Will, be free saint and do what thou Will. In the Words of Jesus, not my will. But your Will be done. Grace and Peace
Saved without having to ask for forgivenss
Unlike relationships between humans, where when you do someone wrong. You normally will not be forgiven until you apologize. God forgave us even before we were born. This is why it can be found no where in Scripture that you have to ask(?) God for forgiveness in order to be saved. Instead you accept the forgiveness that has already been offered to you through Jesus Christ. Acts chapter 2 says that the people followed the Doctrine of the Apostles, but Paul was not an Apostle at that time. But the revelation that Paul received from Jesus was one where asking for forgivenss to be saved was not required. This is where we get the term the Romans road regarding salavtion. Romans 10:9-10 9- that if you confess with your mouth, the Lord Jesus. And believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10- for with the heart you believe unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. No where does it say that we have to ask God for forgiveness to be saved. Because forgiveness has already been extended to us through Jesus Christ offering of himself.
Raised together
Because he Resurrected, so did I in him.
Truth about confession of sin
When you read the first chapter of 1st John. It appears to me that the Apostle John is ministering, or writing to people who don’t sound like they are already born again. Because he keeps saying that I declare to you and that you may have fellowship with the father. Christians already have fellowship, and in order to be a Christian, one has to acknowledge their need for a savior. I remember once ministering to a girl at my job, and she seen no need for a savior because she didn’t believe that she was a sinner. This is what John encountered, people who didn’t believe they were sinners. And therefore see no need for a savior. John is speaking to unbelievers until the beginning of the second chapter. Bible interprets the Bible, look below.
I John 1:6-7 NKJV
If we say that we have fellowship with Him, AND WALK IN DARKNESS, WE LIE AND DO NOT PRACTICE THE TRUTH. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.
John 3:19 NKJV
AND THIS IS THE CONDEMNATION, that the light has come into the world, AND MEN LOVED DARKNESS RATHER THAN LIGHT, because their deeds were evil.
From John 3:19 it’s clear that unbelievers walk in Darkness, plus John 3:17 says he who does not believe is condemned already. John is trying to win people to Christ in the beginning of his letter.
The Greek word (homologous) is the English word confession. Which means to say the same thing. It’s where we get the English word homosexual, same sex. So John is encouraging these people to confess their sins (say the same thing that God says about you sin) that it has been paid for by Jesus Christ. Confess, God is faithful and Just to cleanse you conscious from its unrighteous belief.
1John 1:9 should not be used for grounds for a Christian confessing their sins in order to be forgiven. But we can say the same thing that God says about our sin(confess), which is that it is as far from the east is from the west. GONE.
