KNOW WHAT HAPPENS AFTER DEATH...

 WHAT HAPPENS AFTER DEATH?

1) THE DEAD CANNOT HAVE CONTACT WITH THE LIVING.

Ecclesiastes 9

1 Indeed all these things have I considered in my heart, to declare all this: that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God, and also that man knows neither love nor hate; everything passes before him.

2 Everything happens equally to everyone; the same is true of the righteous and the wicked, the good and the clean, and the unclean; so to the one who sacrifices as to the one who does not sacrifice; both to the good and to the sinner; to him who swears and to him who fears an oath.

3 This is the evil that is among everything that is done under the sun; the same happens to all; and that also the heart of the children of men is full of evil, and that madness is in their heart while they live, and afterward they go to the dead.

4 Now for him who is among the living there is hope (for a living dog is better than a dead lion).

5 For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing, nor will they have a reward, but their memory is given over to oblivion.

6 Their love, and their hatred, and their envy, are perished, and have no part for ever, in anything that is done under the sun.

7 Go, eat your bread with joy, and drink your wine with a merry heart, for God is already pleased with your works.

8 Let your clothes be white at all times, and never lack oil on your head.

9 Enjoy life with the woman you love, all the days of your vain life, which God has given you under the sun, all the days of your vanity; for this is your portion in this life, and in your work, which you did under the sun.

10 Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, because in the grave, where you are going, there is neither work nor design, nor knowledge, nor wisdom.

11 I turned and saw under the sun that the race does not belong to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor bread to the wise, nor riches to the prudent, nor favor to the understanding, but that time and opportunity comes to everyone.

12 that man also does not know his time; like the fish that are caught in an evil net, and like the birds that are caught in a snare, so are the sons of men snared in bad weather, when it suddenly falls on them.

13 I also saw this wisdom under the sun, which was great to me:

14 There was a small city where there were few men, and a great king came against it, and besieged it, and set up great bulwarks against it;

15 And there was found in it a poor wise man, who delivered that city by his wisdom, and no one remembered that poor man.

16 Then I said, Wisdom is better than strength, though the poor man's wisdom was despised, and his words were not heeded.

17 The words of the wise must be heard in silence, more than the cry of the ruler among fools.

18 Wisdom is better than weapons of war, but one sinner destroys many goods.

2) AFTER DEATH THE SPIRIT RETURNS TO GOD

Ecclesiastes 12

1 Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come, and the years draw near when you will say, I have no pleasure in them;

2 Before the sun, and the light, and the moon, and the stars, are darkened, and the clouds return after the rain;

3 In the day when the keepers of the house tremble, and the strong men bow down, and the grinders cease, because they are few, and those who look out the windows are darkened;

4 And the doors of the street shall be closed because of the low noise of the grinding, and the voice of the birds shall rise, and all the daughters of music shall bow down.

5 As also when they fear what is high, and there are terrors in the way, and the almond tree blossoms, and the locust is a burden, and the appetite perishes; for man goes to his eternal home, and the mourners will walk around in the square;

6 Before the silver cord is broken, and the golden cup is broken, and the pitcher at the fountain is broken, and the wheel is broken at the well,

7 And the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.

8 Vanity of vanities, says the preacher, all is vanity.

LUCAS 24

As they spoke of these things, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, Peace be with you.

And they, amazed and terrified, thought they saw some spirit.

And he said to them, Why are you troubled, and why do such thoughts rise in your hearts?

See my hands and my feet, that it is I; touch me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have.

And saying this, he showed them his hands and feet.

And while they still did not believe because of joy, and being amazed, he said to them, Have you anything here to eat?

Then they brought him part of a broiled fish, and a honeycomb;

Which he took, and ate before them.

And he said unto them, These are the words which he spake unto you, while he was yet with you, That all things must be fulfilled which were written concerning me in the law of Moses, and in prophets and in the Psalms.

Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures.

And he said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behooved the Christ to suffer, and the third day to rise from the dead,

And in his name repentance and remission of sins would be preached to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem.

And of these things you are witnesses.

And behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you; but stay in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.

And he led them out to Bethany; and, lifting up his hands, he blessed them.

And it came to pass, as he blessed them, he withdrew from them and was taken up into heaven.

And as they worshiped him, they returned to Jerusalem with great joy.

And they were always in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.

Luke 24:36-53

3) WHEN THE CHRISTIAN DIES THEY GO DIRECTLY TO THE PRESENCE OF JESUS.

ACTS 7

And when they heard this, they raged in their hearts, and gnashed their teeth against him.

But he, being filled with the Holy Spirit, looking intently into heaven, saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God;

And he said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.

But they shouted with a loud voice, stopped their ears, and rushed at him with one accord.

And, driving him out of the city, they stoned him. And the witnesses laid down their cloaks at the feet of a young man named Saul.

And they stoned Stephen, who invocation said: Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.

And falling to his knees, he cried out with a loud voice, Lord, do not lay this sin to their charge. And having said this, he fell asleep.

Acts 7:54-60

PHILIPPIANS 1

For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

But if living in the flesh brings me the fruit of my work, then I don't know what I should choose.

But on both sides I am in a pinch, wanting to depart and be with Christ, because that is so much better.

But I think it more necessary, for your sake, to remain in the flesh.

And having this confidence, I know that I will stay and remain with you all for your benefit and the enjoyment of the faith,

So that your glory may increase through me in Christ Jesus

Philippians 1:21-26

4) CHRISTIAN BODIES SLEEP AFTER DEATH

John 11

1 However, a certain Lazarus, from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha, was sick.

2 And Mary was she who had anointed the Lord with ointment, and had wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.

3 His sisters therefore sent to him, saying, Lord, behold, the one whom you love is sick.

4 And Jesus, hearing this, said: This disease is not for death, but for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified by it.

5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.

6 So when he heard that he was sick, he stayed two days longer in the place where he was.

7 After this he said to his disciples, Let us go again into Judea.

8 His disciples said to him, Rabbi, even now the Jews were trying to stone you, and are you going back there?

9 Jesus answered: Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks by day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world;

10 But if he walks by night, he stumbles, because there is no light in him.

11 Thus he spake; and afterwards he said to them, Lazarus, our friend, sleeps, but I will wake him up from sleep.

12 His disciples therefore said, Lord, if he sleep, he shall be safe.

13 But Jesus said this of his death; but they thought he was speaking of the rest of sleep.

14 Then Jesus said to them clearly: Lazarus is dead;

15 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe; but let's go to him.

16 Then Thomas, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.

17 When Jesus arrived, he found that he had already been in the tomb four days.

18 (Now Bethany was nearly fifteen furlongs from Jerusalem.)

19 And many of the Jews had gone to comfort Martha and Mary about their brother.

20 When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet him; Mary, however, sat at home.

21 Then Martha said to Jesus, Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.

22 But now I also know that whatever you ask God for, God will give it to you.

23 Jesus said to him, Your brother will rise again.

24 Marta said to him, I know that he will rise in the resurrection on the last day.

25 Jesus said to him, I am the resurrection and the life; whoever believes in me, even if he dies, will live;

26 And everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?

27 She said to him: Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world.

28 And having said this, he departed, and called in secret to Mary, her sister, saying, The Master is here, and calls you.

29 When she heard this, she got up immediately and went to him.

30 (For Jesus had not yet arrived in the village, but he was in the place where Martha had found him.)

31 When the Jews who were with her in the house and were consoling her saw that Mary had hurriedly got up and gone out, they followed her, saying, “Go to the tomb to weep there.”

32 So when Mary had arrived where Jesus was there, and seeing him, he fell at his feet, saying to him, Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.

33 When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who were with her weeping, he was greatly moved in spirit and troubled.

34 And he said, Where have you laid him? They said to him, Lord, come and see.

35 Jesus wept.

36 The Jews therefore said, See how he loved him.

37 And some of them said, Could he not, who opened the eyes of the blind man, also keep this man from dying?

38 Jesus, therefore, moved again very much in himself, came to the tomb; and it was a cave, and it had a stone laid over it.

39 Jesus said: Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him: Lord, it already stinks, because it has been four days.

40 Jesus said to him, Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?

41 So they removed the stone from which the dead man was lying. And Jesus, looking up, said: Father, I thank you for listening to me.

42 I know that you always hear me, but I said this because of the crowd standing around, so that they may believe that you sent me.

43 And having said this, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come out.

44 And the dead man came out, his hands and feet bound with bandages, and his face wrapped in a handkerchief. Jesus said to them, Loose him, and let him go.

45 Many therefore of the Jews who had come to Mary, and who had seen what Jesus had done, believed in him.

46 But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.

47 Then the chief priests and the Pharisees formed a council, and said, What shall we do? because this man does many signs.

48 If we leave him like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away our place and our nation.

49 And Caiaphas, one of them who was high priest that year, said to them, You know nothing,

50 Nor do you consider that it is expedient for us that one man should die for the people, rather than the whole nation perish.

51 Now he did not say this of himself, but, being the high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation.

52 And not only for the nation, but also to gather into one body the children of God who were scattered abroad.

53 From that day, therefore, they consulted together to kill him.

54 Jesus therefore no longer walked openly among the Jews, but withdrew from there to the country near the desert, to a city called Ephraim; and there he stayed with his disciples.

55 And the Passover of the Jews was at hand, and many from that region went up to Jerusalem before the Passover to purify themselves.

56 So they were looking for Jesus, and they said to one another as they were in the temple, What do you think? Won't you come to the party?

57 Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone knew where he was, he should report him, in order to arrest him.

1 THESSALONIANS 4

But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, about those who are asleep, lest you grieve as do others who have no hope.

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will not precede those who are asleep.

For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God; and those who died in Christ will rise first.

Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord.

So comfort one another with these words.

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18

5) THE BODIES OF CHRISTIANS AGREE ON JESUS' RETURN

1 CORINTHIANS 15

Behold, I tell you a mystery: Indeed, we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed;

In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we will be changed.

For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

And when this corruptible clothes itself with incorruptibility, and this mortal clothes itself with immortality, then the word that is written will be fulfilled: Death is swallowed up in victory.

Where, O death, is your sting? Where, O hell, is your victory?

Now the sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law.

But thanks be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

TESTS AFTER BAPTISM...

 

#CLARIFICATION #BIBLICAL PASSAGES #trials

Many do not talk about it, but it is necessary that the new (a)converted know about how his trajectory will be from the baptism in the waters (burial of the old creature). As it was with Jesus, he will be with us. Not so that he is afraid, but rather, he is prepared to cross adversity, deserts and all the opposition he will encounter on the way. The Bible says that after the baptism, Jesus was led into the desert to be tempted by the devil Matthew 4:1-11. This occurs in the life of every Christian. Of the new convert and of those who have been walking with Christ for some time. There will be moments of affronts, intimidation, deserts, pain, scarcity, however, there will be in all the days of our lives, the promise that Jesus will be with us until the Consummation of the centuries Matthew 28:20. And the purpose of these trials is the approval and perfection of our faith in Jesus!

The trial is the time when our faith is tested. In difficult times we can abandon Jesus or continue to believe in him. The trial shows whether our love for Jesus is true or just a selfish and selfish attitude.

No one likes to go through trials but these moments help to mature and strengthen faith. Anyone who has overcome an ordeal finds more strength in Jesus. Suffering does not last forever and one day we will receive the reward for enduring the ordeal.

ordeal in the bible

Happy is the man who perseveres under trial, because after being approved he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.

James 1:12

Consider it all joy, my brothers and sisters, when you experience various trials, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. And perseverance must have complete action, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking nothing.

James 1:2-4

The Lord tests the righteous,

but the wicked and the one who loves injustice,

his soul hates it.

Psalm 11:5

The crucible is for silver

and the oven is for gold,

but the Lord tests the heart.

Proverbs 17:3

For you, O God, have put us to the test

and refined us like silver. You made us fall into a trap

and upon our backs you laid burdens. You let the enemies ride

over our head;

we went through fire and through water,

but to a place of plenty you brought us.

Psalms 66:10-12

In this you rejoice, though now, for a little while, you must be grieved by all kinds of trials. This is to prove that your faith, much more valuable than gold that perishes even if refined by fire, is genuine and will result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.

1 Peter 1:6-7

"Remember how the Lord your God led you all the way through the wilderness these forty years, to humble you and to test you, to find out your intentions, whether you would obey your commandments or not.

Deuteronomy 8:2

Beloved, do not be surprised at the fire that arises among you to test you, as if something strange were happening. But rejoice as you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that when his glory is revealed, you may also rejoice with great joy. If you are insulted for the name of Christ, happy are you, for the Spirit of glory, the Spirit of God, rests on you.

1 Peter 4:12-14

I served the Lord with all humility and with tears, being severely tried by the conspiracies of the Jews.

Acts of the Apostles 20:19

Those that fell on the rocks are those who receive the word with joy when they hear it, but they have no root. They believe for a while, but give up in the hour of trial.

Luke 8:13

So, as the Holy Spirit says:

"Today, if you hear

his voice, do not harden your heart,

as in the rebellion,

during the time of trial in the wilderness, where your forefathers

they tried me,

putting myself to the test,

despite the fact that for forty years

have seen what I did.

CONFESSION FOR SALVATION!!!

 Confession is a very important part of the Christian life. Confession means admitting something. When we confess our sins, we acknowledge our mistakes and ask God for forgiveness. God forgives those who confess their sins.

Another very important confession is admitting our faith in Jesus as our savior. This confession is an act of faith. We cannot hide our faith. Confessing Jesus as savior in front of other people is a way of spreading the gospel.

Confession in the Bible

If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, he will be saved. For with the heart one believes to righteousness, and with the mouth one confesses to salvation.

Romans 10:9-10

So I acknowledged before you my sin

and I did not cover up my faults.

I said, "I will confess my transgressions,"

to the Lord,

and you forgave the guilt of my sin.

Psalm 32:5

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

1 John 1:9

Who hides their sins

does not prosper,

but who confesses them and forsakes them

finds mercy.

Proverbs 28:13

Therefore, confess your sins to each other and pray for each other to be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.

James 5:16

"Whoever therefore confesses me before men, him I will also confess before my Father who is in heaven. But whoever denies me before men, him I will also deny before my Father who is in heaven.

Matthew 10:32-33

Anyone who denies the Son does not have the Father either; whoever publicly confesses the Son also has the Father.

1 John 2:23

If anyone publicly confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him and he in God.

1 John 4:15

Fight the good fight of faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.

1 Timothy 6:12

I confess to you, however, that I worship the God of our ancestors as a follower of the Path, which they call a sect. I believe everything that agrees with the Law and what is written in the Prophets and I have the same hope in God as these men, that there will be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous. That's why I always try to keep my conscience clear before God and men.

Acts of the Apostles 24:14-16

I confess my guilt;

I am in anguish because of my sin.

Psalm 38:18

Have mercy on me, O God,

for your love;

for your great compassion

blot out my transgressions. Wash me of all my guilt

and cleanse me from my sin. for myself

I recognize my transgressions,

and my sin always pursues me. Against you, against you alone, I have sinned

and I did what you reproached,

so that just is your sentence

and you are right to condemn me. I know I'm a sinner since I was born;

yes, since my mother conceived me. I know that you desire the truth in your heart;

and in my heart you teach me wisdom. Cleanse me with hyssop, and I shall be clean;

wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

Psalms 51:1-7

You can recognize the Spirit of God in this way: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God; but every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of antichrist, which you have heard that he is coming, and now he is already in the world.

1 John 4:2-3

Those of Israelite descent had separated themselves from all foreigners. They rose from their seats, confessed their sins and the wickedness of their ancestors. They stayed where they were and read the Book of the Law of the Lord their God for three hours, and spent another three hours confessing their sins and worshiping the Lord their God.

Nehemiah 9:2-3

Thus came John, baptizing in the wilderness and preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. To him came the whole region of Judea and all the people of Jerusalem. Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the river Jordan.

Mark 1:4-5

Because it is written:

"'By Myself I have sworn',

says the Lord,

'before me

every knee will bow

and every tongue will confess

that I am God' ".

Romans 14:11

Therefore God exalted him

to the highest position

and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus

bend every knee,

in heaven, on earth

and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,

to the glory of God the Father.

BEWARE OF ADULTERY! YOU MAY BE PRACTICING WITHOUT KNOWING…

 

HOW TO PROVE THAT EVEN ADULTERY DOES NOT RELEASE FOR A NEW MARRIAGE?

"Whoever leaves his wife and marries another commits adultery; and whoever marries a woman divorced by her husband also commits adultery"

BUT I SAY UNTO YOU, THAT WHOEVER REPUDIATES HIS WIFE, NOT BEING FORNICATION, AND MARRIES ANOTHER, COMMITS ADULTERY (AND HE WHO MARRIES A PUDIED WOMAN ALSO COMMITS ADULTERY) MATTHEW 19:9

📌 For you who care about what God thinks...

📌 For you man or woman who got married... got divorced and now has a new relationship...

Adultery is a sin. Those who practice this act are opposing the will of God. Tampering means breaking the vow that is made during marriage, unfaithfulness.

Whoever commits adultery is disobeying a commandment of God. When two people unite in marriage, they do so not only before men, but before God.

He replied, "Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her. And if she divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery."

Mark 10:11-12

But I say that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, causes her to become an adulteress, and whoever marries the divorced woman commits adultery.

Matthew 5:32

1 Corinthians 7

10 However, I command those who are married, not I, but the Lord: The wife should not separate from her husband. 11 If, however, she separates, let her not marry, or be reconciled with her husband. And let the husband not divorce his wife.

"Thou shalt not commit adultery.

Exodus 20:14

But the man who commits adultery

he has no sense;

Matthew 5:27-28

Now the works of the flesh are manifest: sexual immorality, impurity, and licentiousness; idolatry and sorcery; hatred, discord, jealousy, anger, selfishness, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies and the like. I warn you, as I warned you before: Those who practice these things will not inherit the Kingdom of God.

Galatians 5:19-21

"Do not lie with your neighbor's wife and defile yourself with her.

Leviticus 18:20

Marriage must be honored by all; the conjugal bed, kept pure; for God will judge the immoral and adulterers.

Hebrews 13:4

For the lips of the immoral woman

distill honey,

her voice is smoother than oil; but in the end it is bitter as gall,

sharp as a two-edged sword. Her feet descend to death;

her steps lead straight

to the grave. She doesn't even notice that she walks

by crooked ways

and she does not see the path of life. Now then, my son, listen to me;

he does not deviate from my words. Stay away from this woman;

do not approach the door of your house, lest you give it to others

your vigor

nor your life to some cruel man,

Proverbs 5:3-9

"If a man commits adultery with another man's wife, with his neighbor's wife, both the adulterer and the adulteress must be put to death.

Leviticus 20:10

Loving gazelle, graceful doe;

that your wife's breasts

always fill you with pleasure,

and always intoxicate him with her caresses. Why, my son, be misled

by the immoral woman?

Why embrace the bosom of a frivolous woman?

Proverbs 5:19-20

"Whoever divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

Luke 16:18

and they said to Jesus, "Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. In the Law, Moses commands us to stone such women. And what do you say?" They were using this question as a trap in order to have a basis for accusing him.

But Jesus bent down and began writing on the ground with his finger. As they continued to question him, he got up and said to them, "If any of you is without sin, be the first to throw a stone at her." He bent down again and continued writing on the floor. Those who heard him left, one at a time, starting with the oldest. Jesus was left alone, with the woman standing before him. Then Jesus stood up and asked her, "Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?" "No one, Sir," she said.

She declared to Jesus, "Neither do I condemn you. Now go and turn from your life of sin."

John 8:4-11

Adulterers, do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Anyone who wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual immoralities, thefts, false witness and slander.

Matthew 15:19

Galatians 5:16-17

I've given her time to repent of her sexual immorality, but she doesn't want to. Therefore, I will make her sick and bring great suffering to those who commit adultery with her, unless they repent of the works she does.

1 Corinthians 6:18

COME OUT OF THE DARKNESS INTO THE LIGHT!

 Abandon witchcraft and cling to Jesus!

Come to the Light!!!

Witchcraft is something reproachable by God. When someone resorts to witchcraft, he is breaking God's commandments.

The practice of witchcraft can vary by region and culture. For example, what we know as macumbaria is not a practice mentioned in the Bible, but it can be classified as a form of witchcraft.

We can understand some practices as sorcery: esotericism, palm reading, card reading, divination, black or white magic, consulting spirits or angels, consulting the dead, healing rituals or healerism, mediumship, astrology, macumba, witchcraft, sympathy, superstitions , embodying spirits, psychographics, enchantment or casting spell - popularly known as "doing work".

Such practices distance us from God, making us hostages to deceit. While witchcraft binds us, Jesus sets us free. If you are involved with witchcraft, know that there is still time to move away from these practices. Your future belongs to God and He loves you!

Outside are the dogs, those who practice sorcery, those who commit sexual immorality, the murderers, the idolaters and all who love and practice lies.

Revelation 22:15

"Do not use mediums or seek those who consult spirits, for you will be contaminated by them. I am the Lord, your God.

Leviticus 19:31

“When you enter the land that the Lord your God is giving you, do not try to imitate the disgusting things that the nations there do. daughter; who practices divination, or practices magic, or uses omens, or practices sorcery, or performs enchantments; who is a medium, consults spirits, or consults the dead. abominations that the LORD your God will drive those nations out before you, so that you may remain blameless before the LORD your God.

Deuteronomy 18:9-13

"I will set my face against those who consult spirits and against those who seek mediums to follow them, prostituting themselves with them. I will cut you off from among your people.

Leviticus 20:6

But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the depraved, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice witchcraft, the idolaters and all liars - their place will be in the lake of fire that burns with sulfur. This is the second death."

Revelation 21:8

I will end your sorcery,

and you will not guess anymore.

Micah 5:12

For the rebellion

it is like the sin of witchcraft;

arrogance, as the evil of idolatry.

Just like you rejected

the word of the Lord,

Colossians 2:8-10

BEWARE OF FAL$OS PROPHETS AND DESTRUCTIVE HERESIES!!!

Abandon idolatrous practices!

Don't be conniving with these idolatrous works!

Do not feed false prophets!

Look for a biblical congregation. Only then will you grow in the Grace and Knowledge of Jesus Christ!

2 Peter 2

1 And there were also false prophets among the people, as there will also be false teachers among you, who will secretly introduce destructive heresies, and will deny the Lord who bought them, bringing sudden destruction upon themselves.

2 And many will follow their dissolutions, by which the way of truth will be blasphemed.

3 And out of covetousness they will make merchandise of you with feigned words; on whom for a long time the sentence will not be late, and their perdition does not slumber.

4 For if God did not forgive the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, he delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for judgment;

5 And he did not forgive the ancient world, but kept Noah, the eighth person, the herald of righteousness, in bringing the flood upon the world of the wicked;

6 And he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to destruction, reducing them to ashes, and setting them up as an example to those who live impiously;

7 And he delivered righteous Lot, weary of the dissolute life of abominable men

8 (For this righteous man, dwelling among them, afflicted his righteous soul daily, therefore I saw and heard of his unrighteous works);

9 So the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptation, and to reserve the unrighteous for the day of judgment, to be punished;

10 But especially those who after the flesh walk in filthy lusts, and despise authorities; bold, obstinate, not afraid to blaspheme dignities;

11 While the angels, being greater in strength and power, do not pronounce against them blasphemous judgment before the Lord.

12 But these, like wild animals that follow nature, made to be captured and killed, blaspheming what they do not understand, will perish in their corruption,

13 Receiving the reward of unrighteousness; for such men take pleasure in everyday delights; Spots are they and blemishes, delighting in their deceit, when they feast with you;

14 Having eyes full of adultery, and ceasing not to sin, enticing unstable souls, having their hearts trained in covetousness, children of curse;

15 Who, having forsaken the right way, went astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;

16 But he had the rebuke of his transgression; the dumb ass, speaking with a human voice, prevented the prophet's madness.

17 These are fountains without water, clouds driven by the force of the wind, for whom the darkness of darkness is reserved forever.

18 For, speaking very arrogant things of vanity, they entice with the lusts of the flesh, and with licentiousness, those who were withdrawing from those who walk in error,

19 Promising them liberty, being themselves servants of corruption. Because of whom someone is conquered, he also becomes a servant.

20 For if, after they have escaped the corruptions of the world, through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again involved in them and overcome, the latter state is worse for them than the former.

21 For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, knowing it, to turn away from the holy commandment which was given them;

22 Thus happened to them what is said in a true proverb: A dog returns to its own vomit, and the sow washed to the mire.

Peter warned. Stop to think: which denominations today trade in the Kingdom of God? What do the sheep exploit? Who distribute destructive heresies? Which deceive with feigned words?

BEWARE OF GREAT DOGS!!!

 Who are the dogs of Revelation 22:15?

In Revelation 22:15 it is written: “Outside are the dogs, and the sorcerers, and those who commit sexual immorality, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie.”

In fact, the Bible speaks of dogs more than once in this sense. Watch:

“Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of circumcision;” Philippians 3:2

"And these dogs are greedy, never satisfied. They are shepherds who understand nothing; they all go their own way, each one for his greed, all without exception." Isaiah 56:11

The meaning of "dogs", quoted in these 3 passages, refers to people who are among those who are God's people. Note that, in one of the two passages I quoted, dogs are listed followed by "evil workers" and "circumcision", and in the other, the Bible calls these dogs "shepherds". But after all, what do dogs mean??

Analyze this fact: In a flock of sheep (in the Bible, the righteous are called the sheep of God), there is always a shepherd and some "helper" animals that help the shepherd to take his flock to the fold. However, in the fold, only the sheep enter. But who are these "helper" animals? I answer: the dogs. Dogs are those who, for one reason or another, help the shepherd to bring the sheep to the fold. But they (the dogs) do not enter the sheepfold.

So the Bible speaks in symbolism: the sheep are us; the Shepherd is our Lord Jesus Christ; and dogs are those church leaders (pastors, bishops, and others) who teach the Word of God but, in their hearts, they do it only for their own benefit: to earn money with the work of God.

Dogs are those who somehow help the Shepherd, but will not enter the heavenly fold.

Dogs refer to shepherds and false teachers who want to earn money from God's work. False workers and teachers, shepherds who are greedy for $$$$$ and the meek life, just want to eat the fat of the sheep! Pastors who manipulate and exploit, without any embarrassment or fear, people's faith and sincerity, with the sole aim of making money.

Dogs refer to shepherds who take what little the poor have and in the name of God ask for offerings and tithes.

They are opportunists who, without shame and limits, exploit people's faith, with the pure and simple objective of getting rich without having to work, unlike many of their followers who often work under the hot sun or in extreme weather. Fraudsters of faith, parasites, exploiters who use the good faith of belief in the Sacred. They use the name of God as a means of exploring, they use the Bible and their holy books to benefit people in need of a breath and a caress in their souls.

"And these dogs are greedy, never satisfied. They are shepherds who understand nothing; they all go their own way, each one for his greed, all without exception." Isaiah 56:11

“And out of avarice (love of $$$$$), they will make business of you (own gain), with feigned words (heresy, lies); on whom for a long time the sentence will not be late, and their destruction does not slumber.” 2nd Peter 2:3

The Gadarene demoniac

1 And they came to the other side of the sea, to the province of the Gadarenes. 2 And when he got out of the boat, there came out to meet him from the tombs a man with an unclean spirit, 3 who had his dwelling in the tombs, and not even with chains could anyone bind him. 4 For having been bound many times with fetters and chains, the chains were broken by him in pieces, and the fetters in crumbs, and no one was able to tame him. 5 And he was always going about, day and night, crying out to the mountains and to the tombs, and smiting himself with stones. 6 And when he saw Jesus in the distance, he ran and worshiped him. 7 And, crying out with a loud voice, he said, What have I to do with you, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God not to torment me. 8 (For he said to him, Come out of this man, you unclean spirit.) 9 And he asked him, What is your name? And he answered him, saying, Legion is my name, because we are many. 10 And he besought him much that he would not send them out of that province. 11 And there was a large herd of pigs grazing there on the mountain. 12 And all those demons begged him, saying, Send us into those pigs, that we may go into them. 13 And Jesus soon allowed him. And those unclean spirits went out and entered the pigs; and the herd rushed down a cliff into the sea (there were about two thousand of them) and was drowned in the sea. 14 And those who tended the pigs fled and told it in the city and in the fields; and many went out to see what had happened.

15 And they came to Jesus, and saw the demon-possessed man, the one who had the legion, sitting, clothed, and in his right mind, and they were afraid. 16 And those who had seen it told them what had happened to the demon-possessed man and about the pigs. 17 And they began begging him to get out of his territory. 18 And when he got into the boat, he begged him who was possessed to let him be with him. 19 Jesus, however, did not allow it, but said to him: Go to your house, to yours, and announce to them what great things the Lord has done for you and how he had mercy on you. 20 And he went and began to tell in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him; and everyone marveled.

NOTHING IS TAKEN FROM THE EARTH!!!

 

"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal.

  But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Matthew 6:19-21

The perverse strife of men corrupt in their minds, and out of the truth, thinking that godliness is a cause of gain; separate yourself from such.

But godliness with contentment is great gain.

Because we brought nothing into this world, and it is clear that we can take nothing out of it.

But having food and covering, let us be content with this.

But those who would be rich fall into temptation, and into a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which plunge men into destruction and ruin.

Because the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil; and in their longings some have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many pains.

But thou, O man of God, flee these things, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

Fight the good fight of faith, take hold of eternal life, to which you were also called, having already confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. 1 Timothy 6:5-12

What your hands have to do, do it with all your strength, for in the grave, where you go, there is neither activity nor planning, there is neither knowledge nor wisdom. Ecclesiastes 9:10

Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant, nor to put their hope in the uncertainty of riches, but in God, who richly provides us with everything for our satisfaction.

1 Timothy 6:17

The envious is greedy for riches

and does not realize that poverty awaits him. Proverbs 28:22

who loves money

you will never have enough;

whoever loves riches will never stay

satisfied with their income.

That doesn't make sense either. Ecclesiastes 5:10

Don't exhaust your strength

trying to get rich;

have common sense! riches disappear

as soon as you behold them;

they grow wings

and soar like eagles across the sky. Proverbs 23:4-5

So do not say in your heart, 'My ability and the strength of my hands have gathered all this wealth for me'. But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, confirming the covenant he swore to your ancestors, as you see today.

Deuteronomy 8:17-18

Thus says the Lord:

"Do not the wise man glory in his wisdom

nor the strong in his strength

nor the rich in his wealth, but whoever boasts, let him boast in this:

to understand and know me,

for I am the Lord

and act with loyalty,

with justice and righteousness on earth,

because it is these things that I like",

declares the Lord.

Jeremiah 9:23-24

The Lord is the giver

poverty and wealth;

he humbles and exalts.

1 Samuel 2:7

Do not trust extortion

nor put your hope in stolen goods;

if your riches increase,

do not put your heart into them. Psalm 62:10

Who trusts his riches

will surely fall

but the righteous will flourish

like green foliage. Proverbs 11:28

The Man Who Gets Riches

by unfair means

it's like the partridge

that hatches eggs it has not laid.

When half of your life

have passed,

they will abandon you,

and in the end he will prove a fool.

Jeremiah 17:11

You say, 'I am rich, I have acquired riches and I don't need anything'. He does not recognize, however, that he is miserable, pitiful, poor, blind, and that he is naked. "I give this advice: Buy from me gold refined in the fire, and you will become rich; buy white clothes and clothe yourself to cover your shameful nakedness; and buy salve to anoint your eyes so that you can see. Revelation 3:17- 18

  My God will supply all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19

“He who is faithful with little is also faithful with much, and he who is dishonest with little is also dishonest with much. you. Luke 16:10-11

There are those who give generously,

and sees his riches increase;

others withhold what they should give,

and fall into poverty. Proverbs 11:24

A good reputation is worth more

what great riches;

enjoy good esteem

worth more than silver and gold. Proverbs 22:1

Better is the little of the just

than the wealth of many wicked; for the strong arm of the wicked will be broken,

but the Lord upholds the righteous. Psalms 37:16-17

The Reward of Humility

and the fear of the Lord

are wealth, honor and life.

Proverbs 22:4

True riches are not a lot of money or a lot of possessions. True wealth is a life filled with the love and knowledge of God! Salvation is our greatest wealth. Spiritual riches are much more important than material riches.

You have to be very careful with material riches. The love of riches brings many problems and in the end leads to poverty! When we have riches, we must recognize that everything comes from God. We must not put our confidence in riches, because they may soon disappear.
