When God created man in the Garden of Eden, He made him in His image of holiness; and he was perfect and upright. Man was honorable and honest in all things; and everything God made for His marvelous creation was good, clean and beautiful. And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day (Genesis 1:31).

Notice that God thought things were not just good but very good, so what went wrong? The Bible gives the answer when it says, Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions (Ecclesiastes 7:29). Man sought opportunities to do wrong.

God made Adam and Eve to be perfect; but even so, they ate the fruit of the tree that God had told them not to. And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die (Genesis 2:16,17). Man sought out sin of his own free will.

God tried to make man upright once again when He sent the Second Adam, Jesus, to free man from sin and make him clean, pure and holy in His sight. For he [God] hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him (II Corinthians 5:21). Jesus brought amazing grace, but very few men took advantage of it.

For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive (I Corinthians 15:22). Jesus not only brought life; He brought abundant life.

I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly (John 10:10). All who accept Jesus have life; but those without Him are the walking dead because life only comes through God the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost.

God Is Good

God has always wanted to do good for man. Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered (Psalm 40:5). And God gives man only good gifts. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning (James 1:17).

If you would count your blessings, the sun would go down way before you would have time to get to your troubles; so count your blessings and sleep well. They all flow through the grace blood of Jesus, and His grace is sufficient for whatever you need. My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness (II Corinthians 12:9).

Do you realize all that God has done for you? Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men (Psalm 107:31)! He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD is gracious and full of compassion (Psalm 111:4).

When you walk in holiness and righteousness just like God planned for you to, you will always triumph. Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place (II Corinthians 2:14). The devil will try to make you think you are a loser; but when the end comes, you will be a winner if you have lived free from sin. That is why, as a true child of God, you should always look like a winner, talk like a winner and act like a winner here on Earth.

Jesus was a winner, and those who are walking upright before Him must know they are anointed to win the lost at any cost just like He was. He said, The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised (Luke 4:18). The Lord has given us borrowed time, and we are to use it to get the harvest in. We must go all the way with the Lord and not waste a minute of that time.

Man Is to Blame

God will not take the blame for man’s sins; and He will not listen to foolish hearts who ask, “Why did God do that? Why did God let my mother die? Why does God bring about all of this evil?” God has nothing to do with the evil in the world. Man and woman brought death upon themselves because they listened to the devil. The serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die (Genesis 3:4). It doesn’t pay to listen to the devil; that is how people become deceived.

God had planned for Adam and Eve to live forever; but still today, people won’t choose the life He offers. God let us know why there is so much suffering on the Earth, and He is not the guilty one. The devil is the one who is at fault, and man and woman are voluntarily giving over to him even though he is a liar. Jesus said, He [the devil] was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it (John 8:44).

When man sinned, God’s curse came upon the Earth and upon all mankind. Unto the woman he [God] said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. And unto Adam he [God] said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return (Genesis 3:16-19).

A curse also came upon the serpent. And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel (Genesis 3:14,15).

Even in the Perfect Age, the serpent will be the only living creature still crawling around in the dust. The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent’s meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD (Isaiah 65:25). None of these things would have come to pass if man had remained in the perfect state in which God had made him. Man and sin are to blame, not God.

Live Free from Sin

You can have no part of sin. The Bible says, The soul that sinneth, it shall die (Ezekiel 18:4). The people in many churches today eat from that evil tree and listen to that snake devil, and they will not go to Heaven. They don’t believe in living free from sin when the Bible says you can. For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace (Romans 6:14).

You have to live free from sin to be able to go to Heaven no matter how many preachers teach against it. When a preacher says people do not have to live free from sin, you can be sure that he or she is sinning. They are trying to make side doors to Heaven, but they will never get there because there is only one door; and just one blemish will keep a person from walking through that door. For the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23).

Jesus is our example, and He did not sin. Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed (I Peter 2:22,24). Jesus made it possible for us to be dead to sins and to live unto righteousness.

Jesus willingly took the sins of the world upon Himself at Calvary; and when He was dying, He cried, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me (Matthew 27:46)? God cannot look upon sin with any favor, so He had to turn His face away from His only Son when He bore our sins on the Cross and died for you and me. Thou [God] art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on [endorse] iniquity (Habakkuk 1:13).

God will never compromise with sin, and the sins of the people grieved Him so much in Noah’s day that He was sorry He had ever created man. And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart (Genesis 6:5,6). The people’s sins made God cry. How sad!

Jesus made a way for man to get back to his God after sin had separated them. But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear (Isaiah 59:2). God continually looks upon a righteous man, but one who has a heart full of sin turns Him away.

Many think that when they get saved, God will never turn His face away from them, even if they sin; but the Bible teaches, For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins (Hebrews 10:26). God stands between people and all sin as long as they remain free from it; but when they willfully sin, the Lord moves out.

The wrath of God is all people will receive when they willfully sin after they have been delivered from it. For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire (II Peter 2:20-22). You can wash a pig and put a big bow on it; but when you turn it loose, it will still run for the first mudhole it can find, and there are many people who are like that with sin.

Be a Child of God

But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ (I Corinthians 15:57). We can have victory all the time when we walk like Jesus, talk like Jesus and act like Jesus. True children of God are complete in Him. And ye are complete in him [Jesus], which is the head of all principality and power (Colossians 2:10). Jesus has all power, and He gives that power to His children. Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you (Luke 10:19).

You don’t have to be afraid when you are a child of God. But as many as received him [Jesus], to them gave he power to become the sons [or daughters] of God, even to them that believe on his name (John 1:12). Jesus came to make those who will yield to the Spirit sons and daughters of God. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons [or daughters] of God (Romans 8:14).

As a child of God, you must be holy. But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy (I Peter 1:15,16). You cannot listen to any unholy talk, and you can’t argue or murmur because God hates those things. Paul said, Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee (Hebrews 13:5).

To be holy in all is to be upright. LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill? He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart (Psalm 15:1,2). God blesses the upright. For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly (Psalm 84:11).

When troubles come, you must turn them over to the Lord. Some of you make yourselves a nervous wreck by trying to take care of your troubles on your own when Jesus said, Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest (Matthew 11:28). Just let God work and then praise Him for it. And when you praise God for the little things, you will have no trouble praising Him for the big things.

Leave the Flesh Behind

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit [the Holy Ghost] shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting (Galatians 6:7,8). People live only a short while on this Earth, and then they can be in Heaven forever; yet so many are walking away from God. They seek a life of fulfilling the works of the flesh and think they will still go to Heaven, but that is not so. Heaven’s door is closed to anything that is unlike God; and when the one flight out takes place, they will be screaming, “Come back, Jesus, come back!”; but He won’t return for them.

Are you walking in the flesh or in the Spirit? The Bible says, There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death (Proverbs 14:12). So many people are deceived into thinking they will not go to hell, but they will if they don’t leave the ways of the world behind. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God (Romans 12:2).

You need to understand each one of the works of the flesh to make sure you are not committing even one of them. Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness (Galatians 5:19). The Lord said the time would come when people would put no value on marriage, and that time is here. People all over the world are living together, and even some so-called Christians are having babies out of wedlock.

Some people allow their kids to bring their unmarried partners when they visit them, and then they let them sleep together. If you allow that to go on in your home, you are actually endorsing what they are doing; and you are ruining any influence you may have had with your family members, neighbors and friends.

Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies (Galatians 5:20). Witchcraft is alive in many of the African nations we have been to, and there is plenty of it in the United States now, too. Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God (Galatians 5:21).

Paul said, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh (Galatians 5:16). How do you do that? The Bible says, But exhort one another daily, while it is called Today; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin (Hebrews 3:13). You must not allow yourself to be deceived by the devil or anybody else.

If you have been truly washed in the blood of the Lamb and made holy, you will not want to seek out any other way of life. The Bible says, Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it (Luke 17:33). When you give your life to the Lord, He will preserve it with the blood of the Lamb.

God Cares for You

Do you really believe that the great God of the universe sees you personally, or are you always searching for Him and wanting Him to manifest Himself? The Bible says God walks in us. As God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people (II Corinthians 6:16).

God not only sees you, He also places great value on you. Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows (Matthew 10:29-31). If God sees a little sparrow, how much more so does He see you?

Job knew that God saw him. He said, For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his goings (Job 34:21). He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous: but with kings are they on the throne; yea, he doth establish them forever, and they are exalted (Job 36:7). God sets His eyes upon His children with such love. He sees every move they make and gives them every breath they draw. He giveth to all life, and breath, and all things (Acts 17:25).

God cares for you. Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you (I Peter 5:7). God wants you and all those who are willing to carry the burden for the lost, so He will take all of your other burdens. You are actually wasting time and robbing God of souls when you don’t cast your cares upon Him.

What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him (Psalm 8:4)? God puts so much value on His true children, and He looks on them with delight. When you are righteous in God’s eyes, you are a beautiful sight to behold; and He will not take His eyes off of you. You never have to search for Him, and you can talk to Him at any time. He said, Come now, and let us reason together (Isaiah 1:18).

I talk to God one-on-one saying as Jesus did, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. And I knew that thou hearest me always (John 11:41,42). You should be able to say that, too, if you are a real child of God because you should know that God is always with you. Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world (Matthew 28:20).

The Word Reveals Truth

Are you satisfied with how you see yourself, or do you seek to know how God sees you? The Bible warns us against trusting in self. For the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart (I Samuel 16:7). Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts (Proverbs 21:2).

Once you know that God does see you, you must examine yourself to determine how He sees you. All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the LORD weigheth the spirits (Proverbs 16:2). God told me I would have to know the Spirit of God, the spirit of man and the spirit of the devil and be able to separate them; and you must be able to do that, too.

If you really want to know how God sees you, you have to use the same searchlight that He uses—the Word of God. It will discern everything about you. For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart (Hebrews 4:12).

The Word is like a mirror; and when you look into it, it will show you exactly how you look, whether you like it or not. It will reveal the truth about you and let you see yourself as God sees you. Then you must let it change you into the image of God. But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass [a mirror] the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord (II Corinthians 3:18). Being in the image of God means you are like the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost.

For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass [a mirror]: For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was (James 1:23,24). If you looked in the mirror on Monday to make sure you looked okay, would you then be satisfied that you looked okay for the rest of the week?—probably not. Would you be satisfied with how others said you looked without looking yourself? I don’t think so.

Most people want to know the truth about how they look, and only a mirror can reveal it. So how much more should each of us want to know how we look spiritually to God every day? But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed (James 1:25). Jesus brought the perfect law of liberty and the perfect love of God which is described in I Corinthians 13.

Depend on the Word

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path (Psalm 119:105). The Word has everything you need, so you must study it. Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth (II Timothy 2:15). Just reading the Bible is not enough. When you come across something you cannot understand, don’t pass it by. The Holy Ghost is your teacher, so ask Him to teach you what it means.

Then you must hide the Word in your heart. Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not [or will not] sin against thee (Psalm 119:11). I glory in the Word of God, and it gives me strength. All the scriptures blend together—meaning they do not contradict one another—and they will bring healing to your mind and to your body. Wherefore the law [the Old Testament] was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ [and the Gospel He brought], that we might be justified by faith (Galatians 3:24).

Many people who are wrong try to justify the way they look; and in doing so, they make the Word of God of no effect in their lives. Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye (Mark 7:13).

There are people who think all kinds of things about themselves that are not true, and there are others who think they know more than anybody else; but the Lord said that such people really know nothing. If any man think that he knoweth anything, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know (I Corinthians 8:2).

You must want the Word to show you the truth about yourself. You must want it to reveal any sin or blemishes you may have. That he might present it to himself a glorious [perfect] church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish (Ephesians 5:27). I examine myself through the Word; and when I come to the close of a day, I want to know that I have pleased God in perfection and that I have not compromised with the world or with people. Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word (Psalm 119:9). If you really want to know how God sees you, you must pray like the Psalmist did saying, Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts (Psalm 139:23).

When God looks at your heart, does He see that you are after His own heart? If your heart beats in rhythm with the heart of God, it beats in perfection just like the hearts of the first man and woman did. But Adam and Eve lost that heartbeat, and many people throughout the world today don’t have it either.

Whose Approval Do You Seek?

Are you satisfied with how people see you? Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets (Luke 6:26). People may speak well of you, but how does God see you?

For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise (II Corinthians 10:12). Such people are not wise, but the Lord is; and how He sees you is all that counts with Heaven. How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only (John 5:44)? God is a just God, and He always sees us through truth.

Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD. Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart (Psalm 119:1,2). Notice that you have to seek the Lord not just with your heart but with your whole heart.

Do you want the approval of self, of man or of God? Do you want to be guided by the eyes of self or the eyes of God? The Bible says, We are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away (Isaiah 64:6). Man’s righteousness is as filthy rags, so we have to have the righteousness of God.

The Lord knows those who are His today; and if you are a child of God, you should be grateful that He knows. The foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let everyone that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity (II Timothy 2:19).

Some people will let the devil torture them about their salvation, but you must never do that. When the devil comes to accuse you, don’t listen to him because that is idle talk; and never listen to people who speak idle talk either. You must ignore them and get away from them because they are not right with God. Then go on to serve the Lord. And thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly (Matthew 6:18).

God’s eyes are open to His true children all the time. The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD’s throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men (Psalm 11:4). You don’t have to walk the floors at night thinking that God has forgotten you or that He doesn’t see or care about you. He sees all, and He hears every cry of the righteous. The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry (Psalm 34:15).

God Knows All

God is good all the time; but if your ways and actions don’t line up with His and you don’t fear Him and keep the Jesus love commandments, you can’t blame God when judgment comes. Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments (Psalm 119:6).

All of God’s judgments and ways are just and true. Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints (Revelation 15:3). What makes God almighty?—righteousness, power, goodness and uprightness.

God sees all and will reward all, whether that reward is good or evil. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil (Ecclesiastes 12:14). If you harbor any secret sin in your heart, God will not hear your prayers; and the Psalmist knew that when he wrote, If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me (Psalm 66:18).

Many people have tried to hide things from God, but it never works. He has the power to bring all secrets to light. For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither anything hid, that shall not be known and come abroad (Luke 8:17). Everything will be brought out on Judgment Day, if not before.

God knows when people are failing Him, and it grieves Him. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do (Hebrews 4:13). God knows all about what people are doing in the darkness, and He will judge them for their evil ways. He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him (Daniel 2:22).

King David secretly committed adultery with Bathsheba, and he went to great lengths to keep his sin hidden. He even killed an innocent man to try to cover what he had done, but God saw that sin and brought it to trial. God sent the prophet Nathan to expose David’s secret sin, and David had to pay for it in more ways than one. Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thine own house [God meant business with David.], and I will take thy wives before thine eyes, and give them unto thy neighbour, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun. For thou didst it secretly: but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun. And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the LORD. And Nathan said unto David, The LORD also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die. Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme, the child also that is born unto thee shall surely die (II Samuel 12:11-14). That son meant so much to David, but God had spoken.

You may keep secrets from man, but every willful meditation of your heart is seen by God and will be dealt with accordingly. In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel (Romans 2:16). If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god; Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart (Psalm 44:20,21).

You Must Separate

God does all things with righteousness and holiness, but people seek things that do not agree with God. Many socialize with the wrong people and eventually agree with them. Then they end up destroyed because people who are against God want to drag others out of their walk with God, too.

And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel (II Corinthians 6:15)? People who are not living for God are just like infidels; so come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you (II Corinthians 6:17).

Never follow people who have left the Word and the power of God, or you won’t make it to Heaven. The Holy Ghost will cease bubbling through you, saith the Lord. Some people continue to socialize with family members who have turned their backs on God; but Jesus said, Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law (Matthew 10:34,35).

You must separate from the wrong people no matter who they are. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds (II John 1:10,11).

People who talk against the work of God are really criticizing God the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost; and when anyone talks against the Holy Ghost, they will blaspheme. That is a sin which can never be forgiven. Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come (Matthew 12:31,32).

Jesus said that the Holy Spirit is the one who draws people to God in the first place. No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him (John 6:44). That is why those who blaspheme against the Holy Ghost can never come to God.

You will never be in danger of committing the unforgivable sin as long as you live in the truth; but you also cannot excuse anyone who has blasphemed, or you could easily be swept into darkness yourself. Those who have blasphemed have no God, no faith and no life; and they are already dead as far as God is concerned. When Judas blasphemed and turned against Jesus, the Lord said it would have been better if he had never been born. The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born (Matthew 26:24).

My associates and I preach the truth and live it, but some people don’t want the truth; and that is why they can’t stand this ministry. But no matter what people say or do, the truth in this ministry is why the Lord is able to bless this work. The more it is fought, the faster it spreads throughout the whole Earth. Praise the Lord!

Never Make God Turn Away

Are you like Jesus today, or do you have sin in your heart? If you were to die with any sin in your heart, you would be in hell for eternity; and God will never hear the cries of those in hell. He is already wiping people out of His mind to never remember them again. They will plead and cry for help, but it will be too late; and He will never hear them. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God (Hebrews 10:31).

When God blocks people out, He completely closes His ears, His eyes and His mind to them forever. Thou shalt be for fuel to the fire; thy blood shall be in the midst of the land; thou shalt be no more remembered: for I the LORD have spoken it (Ezekiel 21:32). He will not even remember that they were ever born.

You can keep that from happening to you if you will look to God for eternal life; He is the only way. It is good that thou shouldest take hold of this; yea, also from this withdraw not thine hand: for he that feareth God shall come forth of them all (Ecclesiastes 7:18).

When you have Jesus, you have eternal life working in you. But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord (Romans 6:23). You won’t have any more eternal life when you get to Heaven than you have right now. Jesus paid a great price for it at Calvary so all who want it can freely have it. No one has ever suffered for sin like He did. Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin (Hebrews 12:4).

Claim Eternal Life

If you are living for the Lord and are determined never to turn away from Him, you can be just as much in Heaven now as you will be when you get there if you will let the Lord bless you and be your main source of strength. If you are not living for God, you can get right today; but this may be your last opportunity.

If you feel the tug of the Holy Spirit, say this prayer and come to Jesus right now: Oh, God, I am lost. I have gone away from you and sinned against the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. I am so sorry, Jesus. I know you died for me, and I have come home to serve you for the rest of my life. I believe that your blood washes away all of my sins. Come into my heart, Jesus! Come on in! If you meant that prayer, Jesus has come; and He is yours. Now, you must go on to seek the Holy Ghost baptism, the same baptism that was given to the disciples on the Day of Pentecost. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit [the Holy Ghost] gave them utterance (Acts 2:4).

The Holy Ghost is the one who took over and did the speaking on that day; but today, so many people speak in tongues at will, and that is of man and the devil. Thus saith the Lord, you must receive the Holy Ghost baptism because you have to have that power to make the Rapture. If you are not drawn to the Spirit, it is a good sign that you are not really saved. I am giving you the truth, and it is up to you what you do with it. Your blood won’t be on my hands.

Receive a Miracle

Now, it is time to be healed in the name of Jesus. He went to the whipping post where evil men nearly beat Him to death, but He won for you and me; and with His blood stripes, we have physical healing. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed (Isaiah 53:5).

I am not your healer; Jesus is, and I am just His witness. Lord, here the people are. Lay a healing hand upon them today—those with AIDS, leprosy, cancer, diabetes, lung trouble, heart trouble or any other disease or affliction. I bring before you deformed babies and little children who are dying with AIDS. Heal them in the blood name of the One who came all the way from Heaven to deliver us! Heal! in the precious, blood name of Jesus!

As I speak the name of Jesus, health is flowing to you through that name. Be thou made whole. God’s holy power is moving, and you can be healed because Jesus came with healing in His wings. But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings (Malachi 4:2). It is amazing to behold what God is doing today.

We are blessed by God in His best and wonderful ways. He loves the Bride, and He will do anything for the Bride of Jesus Christ, His Son. The Bride will soon go to Heaven on the one flight out.
