as the title says. christianity has always been a big part of my family’s life but growing up in a hardcore pentecostal church kinda scared me away from the religion. haven’t really read the bible or participated in any services or studies since i was about 7. i’m 23 now and recovering from psychedelic abuse and it’s has drastically ruined my outlook on life to the point where i see it affecting how i live, my relationships with loved ones, and overall motivation and work ethic. my girlfriend always invites me to church with her family but i always decline. after years of her asking i finally cave in and attended a service with her and her people at a baptist church. for once i actually enjoyed myself! i found the teachings to be insightful and wish to find newer outlooks and perspectives on life now. i’ve gone out of my way to purchase a bible but im not really sure where to start reading, everything is pretty much brand new to me. as someone struggling to repair their relationship with god i’d like some advice, anything helps

Those who have not even a mustard seed of faith, who cannot help but repeat sin until death, are children of the devil. Yet they claim themselves to be children of God, true Christians, shepherds of God, receivers of the Holy Spirit, speakers in tongues, workers of power, prophets, or witnesses. They rationalize the signs and wonders of demons—the very phenomena found among shamans and false religions who serve other spirits, never found in the Scriptures—as though they were from God, as though from Christ, as though from the Holy Spirit. Within Christianity, they teach communion with spirits as though it were receiving the Holy Spirit; they call incantations and sorcery that summon spirits “tongues”; they call fortune-telling and divination “prophecy”; they call every kind of demonic wonder “the miracles of God.” And because they serve God together with the world and material wealth, their prayers—being for nothing but worldly ideals, hopes, happiness, blessings—are prayers for lust in which demons must inevitably work. Thus those who seek the world receive the god of this world; those who seek wealth receive the god of wealth; those who seek lust receive the god of lust; those who seek carnal passion receive carnal passion—as if such were God, or Christ, or an angel, disguised and masquerading. There is no one who knows this, no one who teaches it, and no one who learns it.

And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.(Matthew 17 : 20)

If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.(John 15 : 7)(Mark 9 : 23)

For over two thousand years, no power, evidence, or fruit of faith as small as a mustard seed has appeared, Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God. And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, (1 John 3 : 21~24) because this is a fleshly faith that serves God together with the world and with material things, inevitably pursuing every kind of lust, corruption, heresy, and falsehood. Since it is a faith of the flesh that cannot but repeat sin until death, they remain sinners who cannot but be reproved before God until the very end, and thus no miracle, no power, no evidence, nor fruit as small as a mustard seed has ever been revealed. The children of God and true Christians are known by their fruit. The fruit of the flesh, in which sin is repeated, is nothing but sin.

A faith that is not measured by Scripture but believes by one’s own thoughts, claims, standards, and judgments is, in effect, saying that the self is the Word, the Christ, and God. Repentance is begin by bringing our lives—bound to repeat sin until death—into the light of the Word to expose what is wrong. Repentance that still repeats sin is worthless. The very purpose of repentance is the repentance of new birth, in which one no longer commits sin. Therefore, whoever goes on repeating sin, whoever they may be, is not a true Christian. A true Christian does not commit sin; the children of God, having been set free from sin, do not sin. (Romans 6 : 17~23)

To lead people to receive the love of God is the work of a true shepherd of God, and that is the truth. The Word declares that the love of God comes and supplies us with love. Yet today, there is not a single Christian who truly lives according to such a Word. In other words, what they call the Word, the Spirit, prophecy, tongues, and truth, comes from those who do not have even the evidence, the power, or the fruit of faith as small as a mustard seed. Do not follow the teachings of man that exalt only the inspiration of words, without the evidence appearing as the Scripture says. Instead, follow the true shepherd who leads so that the evidence and the fruit described below will surely appear. The truth of God is not inspiration of words nor teaching of words. It is the living power within the love of God. Because human willdriven by awakening, determination, and resolutioncannot put to death the evil habits of man that inevitably cause a lifetime of repeated sin, sin continues to be repeated. But through the mighty power of God, one is set free from sin and enabled to put to death the evil habits that repeat sin.

The love of God, poured out upon us who pursue the hope of Christ, works through the power of that love poured forth, leading us to obtain the divine power that puts to death the evil habits and members that otherwise cause a lifetime of repeated sin. This is the truthnot the sermons of words and theories that only cause sin to be repeated.

But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.(Ephesians 4 : 15~16)

hope: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.(Romans 5 : 4~5)

Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.(Colossians 2 : 18~19)

For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works…(Titus 2 : 11~15)

For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.(Titus 3 : 3~7)

The love of God comes into our hearts and nurtures us. If there is a Christian who does not understand this meaning, then depart quickly from that church and from that pastor. For God is love. Any spirit, gift, power, tongues, or prophecy that does not abide in this love of God is 100% the spirit of Satan—it is the work of demons, pretense, falsehood, corruption, and heresy. “For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God toward you.” (2 Corinthians 13:4) Just as this Word declares, to lead believers to receive the gift of power by which love is supplied is the work of God’s shepherd, the truth of God, and the gift of God. Faith and belief that do not show even the power, the fruit, or the evidence of a mustard seed are nothing but dead faith, the faith of the adversary, and the fleshly faith that stands as an enemy against love.

Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. We love him, because he first loved us. If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.(1 John 4 : 7~21)

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.(2 Timothy 3 : 16~17)

All the words of God, His ideals, His power, and His truth exist in order to make us children of love, resembling God who is the source of love. It is not by the will or zeal of man born of the flesh, but by pursuing the love of God and receiving the supply of the power of His love, that He leads us to fully do good works. Therefore, a true Christian neither lives nor dies for himself.

If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.(1 Timothy 4 : 6)

For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.(Romans 14 : 7)

Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.(Romans 13 : 8~10)

Do not follow the teachings of man that, failing to lead you to receive the love of God in which the power of God works, only stir up awakenings, resolutions, and determinations by relying on oneself through the inspiration of words throughout a lifetime. The teachings of man, which endlessly repeat awakenings, resolutions, and determinations but can never go beyond the limits of man, only puff up the hearts of believers like leaven that soon dies out when one turns away. They are nothing but intellectual, academic, theoretical, and emotional values that twist and falsify the interpretation of the Scriptures. By such means, one can never escape the limits of the flesh, and no matter how much one learns, hears, perceives, or knows, whoever follows the teachings of man is nothing but a child of the devil who only repeats sin.

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.(2 Corinthians 10 : 3~6)

As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.(2 Peter 3 : 16~17)

Whoever continues to repeat sin, no matter who they are, is nothing but a child of the devil. Remember that He came to call sinners. Repent, as He commanded: Repent! Receive the power of God’s love that puts to death the evil habits of man that can only lead to the repetition of sin. Please, read the Scriptures. The Word of God testifies to this: “My people, blinded by sin, are a people who have eyes but cannot see, ears but cannot hear—they are ignorant and senseless.”

He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.(1 John 3 : 8)

What matters most is for what purpose you believe. In short, everything is determined by whether your faith is a carnal faith that, serving God together with the world and material things, seeks only blessings, happiness, success, and prosperity according to the desires of the flesh, or whether the goal of your life is the hope of Christ—following the love of Christ that denies even one’s own life and sacrifices everything—and thus living the life of a true Christian. Those who ask only for worldly concerns—such as problems of family, business, work, love, children, and health—are those who belong to the flesh, which leads to judgment and death. But the children of love, who follow the love of Christ and abide in the love of God, receive the gift of divine power: to be led into the love that supplies the strength of God, which surpasses the human limitation of endlessly repeating sin despite a lifetime of awakening, determination, and resolve. It is the shepherd of God who leads people to obtain this power of God that transcends human limitation. Sermons of pastors that stir only emotion, determination, and resolve—while still leaving people bound to endlessly repeat sin—are not the truth itself.

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.(2 Timothy 4 : 3~4)

He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctines the commandments of men. For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.(Mark 7 : 6~9)

Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men: Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.(Isaiah 29 : 13~14)

Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth. Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.(Titus 1 : 14~16)

But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God. But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:(2 Corinthians 4 : 2~3)

For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.(2 Corinthians 2 : 17)

And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.(2 Peter 3 : 15~17)

(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.(2 Corinthians 10 : 4~6)

Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.(1 Corinthians 15 : 50)

It is now time for you to soberly reflect and discern before God: for what have you lived, and what must you now do? God calls the weak and the shameful sinners. Today’s Christians, like Esau, chase after their own desires and lusts until death, weeping only for blessings that belong to the world and the flesh—which are bound to be the very source of sin. Therefore, because they have not lived a life of Christ that pursues the love of God leading to freedom from sin, aiming toward the hope of Christ, they are as those who have not even been granted the opportunity to achieve true repentance.

Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.(Hebrews 12 : 16~17)

It is love that leads those who follow God’s true shepherd to receive the evidence, the signs, and the fruits of God’s power. The unshakable love of God’s truth becomes our strength, guiding us to obtain the authority of God that delivers us from the evil habits of man and the path of sinners, where sin can only be repeated. The truth of love is the very beauty of abundant liberality, overflowing gratitude, and praise within the love of God. Any pastor who does not lead you to bear the fruit and evidence of this beautiful love is, without exception, the greatest adversary and enemy before God. Become a true Christian who comes out of the path of sinners and, receiving the power of God, practices walking in the way of the righteous that follows after God’s love and mercy. Become a servant of God. For now, you are a slave of religion that only repeats sin, or a slave of men. The servant of God is the one who becomes one within the love of God.

Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.(Romans 6 : 16~18)

If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.(1 Timothy 4 : 6)

But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.(Ephesians 4 : 15~16)

The shepherd of God is the power, the might, and the authority that, through the truth which enables one to obtain the power of God, leads them out of the path of sinners and into the path of the righteous, guiding them to practice the unshaken love of God. It is not service or charity born of man’s frail will, swayed by circumstances, by moods, or by feelings. Rather, the divine power that follows the love of God—where the power of love is at work—comes forth from obedience that follows love, a love that sacrifices everything of oneself, adding patience to patience and temperance to temperance. (Matthew 5:46–48) (Luke 6:32–33) (Matthew 6:16–17)

For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.(Romans 10 : 3)

The charity, almsgiving, and service of religious people or Christians that arise from human will are but human righteousness, for which no heavenly reward can exist. But the charity, service, and love that follow the divine power manifested in the love of God are called the righteousness of God. The righteousness that receives salvation as a reward in heaven is only the charity, service, and love that follow the divine power revealed in the unshaken love of God.

The love of Christ is not the social charity or religious service that springs from man’s own will, from momentary emotion, from changing circumstances, from moods, from interests, or from responsibilities, nor is it the kind that seeks to boast of oneself or advertise oneself. Such charity and service, which are mere pretense and hypocrisy, promoting and advertising one’s religion, church, or self, are no different from the charity and service of worldly corporations, which anyone can do. Rather, such works only disgrace the love of the cross of Christ, who gave even His life.

But the charity and service of love that follow Christ’s unshaken love, where the power of God is at work, are treasures stored in heaven that become merit leading to salvation. The righteousness that builds the beautiful character of God through the goodness and righteousness that follow the love of God is the way, the truth, and the life that lead all people to heaven and salvation.

I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied. But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.(Jeremiah 23 : 21~22)

Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him; Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.(James 5 : 19~20)

Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.(1 Peter 4 : 1~2)

And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.(Daniel 12 : 3)

My covenant was with him of life and peace; and I gave them to him for the fear wherewith he feared me, and was afraid before my name. The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found in his lips: he walked with me in peace and equity, and did turn many away from iniquity.(Malachi 2 : 5~6)

For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.(Titus 2 : 11~14)

The true shepherd of Christ is a shepherd of love who leads souls away from the path of sin and onto the right path. The kingdom of God is a kingdom of love, and only those who possess the love of God can enter it.

Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:(Colossians 1 : 13~14)

Whoever, by the beautiful love of God being poured out, cannot lead others to obtain the divine power that transcends the limits within the evil human habits by which one can only go on repeating sin—whoever they may be—is not a shepherd sent by God. God’s shepherd comes only in accordance with what is written in the Word of Scripture. Teaching and learning that put forward the human mind and intellect, founded on words, theories, knowledge, and scholarship, do not have the power of God at work; therefore, one can never depart from the sinner’s path on which sin is only repeated throughout a lifetime.

Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.(2 Thessalonians 2 : 3~12)

The essence of man, who possesses flesh, is the devil. Therefore, the happiness, success, blessing, ideal, and comfort that arise from the nature of the flesh are nothing but momentary pleasures born from the endless lusts created by the flesh’s insatiable desires. Thus, the satisfaction that follows the desires of the flesh is happiness within delusion and fulfillment within imagination—it is like trying to grasp the wind in the air. Christians and all religious people who remain slaves to the nature of the flesh—unable to escape the evil nature of man that can do nothing but repeat sin throughout life—are children of the devil, the devil himself, messengers of Satan, enemies who oppose God, and antichrists. Remember that from the beginning of creation, the greatest adversaries before God have been the religious people who pride themselves on believing in God. The blind who do not even realize that they have become enemies of God teach others, and those who learn from them defile the love of Christ. Their faith, built for the flesh, is a faith of those who teach only with words all their lives and of those who only listen all their lives. It is a faith that repeats sin endlessly, founded on human knowledge, theory, emotion, and moral lessons—values that serve only to avoid carrying one’s own cross and partaking in the labor, sacrifice, and suffering of Christ. These Christians, who do not realize that they move according to the demands of the flesh—being Satan, the devil, and children of the devil—reveal the fundamental reason they cannot help but repeat sin all their lives. A child of God does not sin, because he does not live a fleshly life that follows the world and the body, which are the very source of sin.

And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.(2 Corinthians 12 : 7)

Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth,…(John 8 : 44)

For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.(Romans 11 : 32)

Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.(Ephesians 2 : 2~3)

Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.(Psalms 51 : 5)(The words of David)

He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning.(1 John 3 : 8)

According to the words above, every human being born with flesh is a devil and Satan, possessing a body of disobedience. From the moment mankind ate of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and became flesh, every human being became a child of Satan who bears a fleshly body. Therefore, all Christians and all religious people who live according to the nature of the flesh and follow the life of the flesh cannot help but continue committing sin until the day they die.

Thus, every human being, whose nature follows the desires and lusts born of the cravings of the flesh, cannot help but deny love. For this reason, the only way to be born again from being by nature a child of wrath and to be freed from sin is to obtain the truth of the power in which God’s love works—within the life of Christ that pursues the love of Christ and aims toward the hope of Christ.

The blind, who do not realize that their flesh is Satan endlessly repeating sin, are teaching the blind. The human body—that is, the flesh—is the body of Satan and the offspring of the devil. Yet Christians and Catholics, not knowing this, consider themselves children of God and believers in Christ, even though the very fact that they regard themselves so is the greatest opposition, enmity, and arrogance before God. The reason is that their faith, which cannot bear the fruits and evidence of Christ centered on the Word of the Bible, is an evil, fleshly faith that seeks only its own fleshly desires—its own blessings, success, and comfort.

Whoever, by the beautiful love of God being poured out, cannot lead others to obtain the divine power that transcends the limits within the evil human habits by which one can only go on repeating sin—whoever they may be—is not a shepherd sent by God. God’s shepherd comes only in accordance with what is written in the Word of Scripture. Teaching and learning that put forward the human mind and intellect, founded on words, theories, knowledge, and scholarship, do not have the power of God at work; therefore, one can never depart from the sinner’s path on which sin is only repeated throughout a lifetime.

That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles. He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets. A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory. And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.(Matthew 12 : 17~21)

Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles. He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street. A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth. He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law. Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein: I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles; To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.(Isaiah 42 : 1~7)

Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to this temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts. But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner’s fire, and like fullers’ soap: And he shall sit as a refiner and purifer of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.(Malachi 3 : 1~3)

And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt: for they shall cry unto the LORD because of the oppressors, and he shall send them a saviour, and a great one, and he shall deliver them.(Isaiah 19 : 20)

This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear.(Acts 7 : 37)

And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.(Revelation 15 : 3)

Consider and ponder why, in the last days, those who survive will sing the Song of Moses. I only hope you remember that, for all who treat the words of Scripture as nothing more than old tales and regard salvation as a matter of their own opinion, the punitive judgment set before them will be a continuum of unimaginable terror, anxiety, and fear for mankind. If the Scripture does not testify, then we have no reason either to read the Scripture or to believe it. The Word of God is an immortal truth, of which not even one jot or one tittle can pass away.

Anything that bears no witness in Scripture is, before God, an adversary, an enemy, and an antichrist. That judgment is at the door is something anyone can sense by observing the course of the world. But regarding how the Word of God will work in the world, remember carefully that it will be fulfilled exactly as Scripture itself declares. Your salvation depends on your choice.

Those who do not believe this Scripture that the Messenger of the Covenant is coming are those who will lose their lives, be thrown into the fires of hell, and sink into every kind of torment on the Day of Judgment. Among today’s Christians and Catholics, there is not a single person—100%—who will be saved. The testimony of the Word on this is clear. Across both the Roman Church and Christianity, there has not been even one person in two thousand years who bears the fruit or evidence of faith as small as a mustard seed. The “salvation” and “Holy Spirit” claimed by those who belong to the world and the flesh—those who cannot escape the members of evil habit and the sinner’s path that make a lifetime of repeated sin inevitable—are 100% false. They are slaves of sin who cannot even feel the pangs of conscience (spirit), nothing but of the devil. Not even one who has been freed from sin exists within the Roman Church or Christianity.(Romans 6 : 17~23)(2 Timothy 3 : 16~17)(Ephesians 4 : 15~16)(Romans 5 : 3~5)(Titus 2 : 11~15)(Colossians 2 : 18~19)(Titus 3 : 3~7)(1 Peter 1 : 5~6)(1 Corinthians 1 : 17~21)(2 Corinthians 13 : 4)

Those who, while spending their whole lives only repeating sin, pretend to have attained salvation and received the Holy Spirit have become slaves of religion who disgrace the forgiveness of sins and the salvation of love that belong only to Christians who have been born again, do not commit sin, and have been freed from sin. For such people the judgment and hell prepared for them are punishments ranging sevenfold to seven hundredfold.

Unless you find your own name in Israel—following after the love of Christ that is worthy to lead to salvation—you can never, under any circumstances, attain salvation. You who say you believe: are you an American? Or European? Or French? Or African? If you do not believe and follow the word above, there is simply no gate of heaven through which you may enter. The gates of heaven belong to the twelve tribes of Israel, and salvation comes to the one who finds Israel’s name. To rediscover your own root in this regard, read the e-book titled Moses’ Burning Bush.

Can your own assertions—put forward by your hot temper and your personal zeal—lead anyone to salvation against this Scripture? Judgment begins because this is a world in which ignorance and folly teach and learn: people whose own knowledge, having abused the Scriptures, has enthroned itself above the Word through every sort of corruption, heresy, and lie in interpretation, without even realizing that they are the greatest adversaries before God and the greatest enemies before the Word. The moment you disregard this Word by which you are born again, you cast away the path to heaven and salvation by which you are to find that you were once a people of Israel. Whoever you are in the world, unless you acknowledge and follow Moses, the Messenger of the Covenant, not a single person will be able to find the name of Israel for salvation.(Isaiah 49 : 5~10)(Isaiah 11 : 16~12 : 6)(Isaiah 19 : 20)

Like the people of Egypt who came to destruction, you cannot but go to judgment and hell, and you will receive all the dreadful calamities God has prepared. Whether you will believe and follow the claims, sermons, and doctrines of pastors who stand outside the Word—repeating sin without fruit or evidence and fall under judgment, cast into the fires of hell for those sins—or whether you will set the hope of Christ that follows the love of the cross which lays down one’s very life, become a child of truth in whom the power of God’s love works, and come to salvation—that choice is yours. Judgment has begun to be proclaimed throughout all the earth.

Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal; And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel: On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates. And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof. And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal. And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel. And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass. And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald; The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst. And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.(Revelation 21 : 11~21)

Receive the truth that leads you to obtain the divine power which, through the working power of love poured into the good heart that holds the hope of Christ following the love of God, puts to death the evil nature, habits, and members of the flesh!

This is the beautiful fruit of salvation and the divine power that bears witness to love.

And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.(Romans 5 : 5)

For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.(Titus 3 : 3~7)

But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.(Ephesians 4 : 15~16)

For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.(Titus 2 : 11~15)

Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.(Colossians 2 : 18~19)

Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:(1 Peter 1 : 5~6)

For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God toward you.(2 Corinthians 13 : 4)

For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.(1 Corinthians 1 : 18)

They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.(Titus 1 : 16)

Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.(2 Corinthians 10 : 5~6)

Those who, while claiming to follow the love of Christ, do not receive the power of God—whose faith rests only on words, theories, and emotional teachings—can never be born again or changed before the sins they repeatedly commit.

The power of salvation and the forgiveness of sins appear only in those who follow the love of Christ, pursuing the divine power that leads toward the hope of Christ and living the life of Christ. The divine truth and wisdom revealed within the power of love—the only power that can free one from the cycle of sin—are the true force of God that destroys evil habits.

The result of a lifetime spent learning and practicing salvation and faith merely through human intellect and knowledge is nothing but the accumulation of evil fruits that fall into hell. These people are devils, blind to the fact that their own flesh is Satan and the devil itself. The blind lead the blind, boasting as they walk the path that leads to hell, and the beginning of their judgment will be dreadful.

All religious people, being taught by ignorant teachers who do not even realize that the human body—the flesh itself—is Satan, have become children of wrath, that is, children of hell, following the nature of the flesh that can only repeat sin throughout their lives.

The result of the salvation and faith learned and acquired through the intellect and head that only repeat sin throughout their lives is nothing but the evil and wicked fruit of sin that leads to hell. They are devils, blind to the fact that their own flesh is Satan and the devil itself. Because the blind lead the blind, they take pride in walking the very path that leads to hell, and the beginning of their judgment will be dreadful. Their ignorance of the truth that the human flesh itself is Satan causes them all to become children of wrath, following the nature of the flesh. It is a faith of the flesh that follows the desires of the body born of evil habits that cannot be reborn, and that inevitably leads to hell through sin and lust.

And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.(2 Corinthians 12 : 7)

Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth,…(John 8 : 44)

For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.(Romans 11 : 32)

Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.(Ephesians 2 : 2~3)

Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.(Psalms 51 : 5)(The words of David)

He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning.(1 John 3 : 8)

God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.(Romans 3 : 1~6)

And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake; for the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.(Genesis 8 : 21)

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a woman have conceived seed, and born a man child: then she shall be unclean seven days; according to the days of the separation for her infirmity shall she be unclean. And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised. And she shall then continue in the blood of her purifying three and thirty days; she shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purifying be fulfilled. But if she bear a maid child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her separation: and she shall continue in the blood of her purifying threescore and six days.(Leviticus 21 : 1~5)

Christians who teach and learn according to their own preferences and interpretations—twisting the Word of God to fit their own opinions—are guilty of sins seventy or even seven hundred times greater than those of the unbelieving people. The reason is that they do not truly believe in God or in Christ, but rather exploit faith as a tool to pursue their own desires and lusts. Their faith follows the evil nature of the flesh and ends up dishonoring God and Christ. It is not a faith that follows the holy will of God or the love of Christ, but a faith that follows the thoughts, judgments, and claims of Satan.

Therefore, the sins of Christians and Catholics, who live according to the desires of the flesh and thus endlessly repeat sin throughout their lives, are far greater—seventy to seven hundred times—than those of the unbelievers in the world. From the beginning of creation, the greatest enemies before God were not the unbelievers, but the religious people who proudly claimed to believe in Him and exalted their religion. The greatest adversaries of God, of Christ, and of the Word on this earth have been, from Judaism to the Roman Church and Christianity itself.

I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.(Revelation 2 : 9)

And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.(Matthew 21 : 13)

The arrogance that does not fear heaven pierces the heavens and reaches the throne, exalting itself as though it were God. Therefore, the judgment will open, and the fire of hell will consume the prideful passion and will of the arrogant, fulfilling the Word of the Lord. The fire of judgment and hell will burn away the thoughts and claims of the proud, and their screams will pierce the heavens, echoing and melting throughout the fires of hell.

You who have despised the Word of God, trampled upon the love and precious blood of Christ who gave His life for you, and exalted yourselves, claiming to have received forgiveness and salvation—At the end of days, you shall stand before the angel of God, blackened like serpents scorched by fire.

This is the final warning: O Satan, who has glorified the flesh, confess your sins and repent! From the beginning of creation, this is the beginning of judgment for the sake of the first fruits. The world, rotten and corrupted to its core, stinking with evil and sin, has reached its end. Therefore, lest even the good grain decay and perish, God will lead His chosen ones to a new heaven and a new earth. Blessed and blessed indeed are those who belong to this good grain.

Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.(2 Thessalonians 2 : 3~12)

And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father’s name written in their foreheads. And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth. These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb. And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.(Revelation 14 : 1~5)
