Our Purpose: to show you the love of Jesus Christ, His promises of
Salvation & Blessings and to spread the Good News to the ends of the
Earth [Mark 16:15]. We're also here to edify the church
[Ephesians 4:11-12].
At one point in my life here on earth I was addicted to sin and evil. So much to the point that I even stopped lying to myself and God about it. I told God that not only was I addicted to sin and evil but I loved it. I told God the truth. That I loved sin and evil more than I loved him. In fact at that point in time the truth was that I did not love God at all. I used God. I took God for granted. All I wanted was what I wanted. I could have cared less about how God felt or what he wanted. At that time I wasn't even aware that God had feelings just like I did. All God was to me was a meal ticket. A free ride to where ever I dreamed I could go. He was my escape goat.
I was addicted to sin and evil.
I will try to help anyone who wants to try to break their addiction to sin and evil. Even if it is to repent from just 1 sin.
The Bible states clearly the ruin of man through sin.
For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God
(Romans 3:23)
and the helplessness of man to atone for sin
For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly (Romans 5:6)
But God in mercy provided the perfect sacrifice for sin in the person of His Son Jesus Christ
For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God (1 Peter 3:18)
His death on Calvary fully met every demand of a Holy God, and also meets the need of every sinner who will bow in repentance before God and place trust in the Lord Jesus Christ as Saviour.
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God
Ephesians 2:8
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
Romans 3:23-24
For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 3:16
Wherefore He is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by Him, seeing He ever liveth to make intercession for them
Hebrews 7:25
I live yet not I, but Christ liveth in me Galatians 2:20
The more you repent from the sin that you do. The more God will draw you closer to Him.
Sin is the poison of this world.
It will paralyze you and cause you to miss out on
the good things of life and God.
Sin is never
worth the price
it will cost you.
To resist doing sin or to resist
temptation or to resist the devil
It will take constant never ending effort from you.
Everyday
All day long.
Day after day.
For as long as you are here on Earth.
Jesus answered,“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
The way to overcome sin...Repentance through Jesus
The Truth will make you free from sin...Repentance through Jesus
A life without sin...Repentance through Jesus
The only way to God...Repentance through Jesus
The less sin you commit
the less God's wrath will be upon you.
The more sin you commit
the more God's wrath will be upon you.

Resist not correction.
The amount of correction you will receive
will determine the amount of progress you will make.
Replace your addiction to SIN with an addiction to GOD.
I am going to give you the secret to great success. God told me about it. And now I will pass it on to you.
Stop doing as much evil as you can. Every day all day long. Practice this from the time you get up in the morning till the time you go to bed at night.
It will make you rich and famous in the Kingdom of God.
If you overcome sin and endure till the end.
And not only that.
You get to keep company with those with the REAL POWER AND THE REAL AUTHORITY.
The REAL EARTH SHAKERS AND THE REAL EARTH MOVERS.
And you never know...you might even get your name in the Lamb's walk of Fame.
Called the Book of Life.

And eat from trees that keep you from ever growing old.
And drink water that taste better than the finest wine.
And spend all your days
with God
And you do not have to stand in no line.
I do not know about you.
But
The Kingdom of God
is the place for me.
No matter what it takes.
No matter what I have to do.
No matter what I have to go through.
The Kingdom of God.
Is where I am going to be.
This is what repent means to Jesus.
But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard.
He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went.
And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not.
Whether of them twain did the will of his father?

23:Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;
24:Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
Jesus is saying that when you do something wrong to another person...you have to go to them and make it right by them before God will accept your offering?
When you do a wrong to your brother or sister just saying Lord forgive me is not going to get it. Jesus said you have to go to them and make it right by them. This one reason you see a lot of wrath on people who believe they have been forgiven for their sins against their brothers and sisters.
They say Lord forgive me and do not go and make it right their wrong that they did to their brother or sister. And God does not accept them.
God does not and never will accept sin.
God only accepts repentance of sin.
Repentance of sin. Means to make RIGHT the WRONG.
Luke, Chapter 15, 10: Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
I was devastated and in total bondage to porn and other vile sins of the flesh, while I did my good deeds for God and my church, who when I came pleading to them, after I fell again into my porn addiction, they told me its normal, you are saved by grace, God feels sorry for you, and you are a poor sinner, etc..
I was serving the young children in the children's ministry at this very liberal Church for 13 years, and continued in my vile sins with no hope whatsoever to ever be set free!
I joined promise Keepers, did an on line course called Setting the Captives free, went through the book An Affair Of The Mind, then Every Mans Battle, etc,,, plus many accountability partners who were in the same boat, a struggling sinner, who bought into the lie all you guys are preaching and defending us few against! It was all just putting a small band-aid on a huge out of control cancer! This cancer neede to be cut off at the roots in repentance, never once taught to me through these very popular band-aid courses!
You are causing many to stumble, Jesus said ,
Mar 9:42And whosoever shall offend one oftheselittle ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea. Mar 9:43And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Mar 9:44Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. Mar 9:45And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Mar 9:46Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. Mar 9:47And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: Mar 9:48Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. Mar 9:49For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt. Mar 9:50Saltisgood: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another.
Its not important how we look at sin, BUT how God looks at sin, and what He expects from us to do with it! And that is repent of it or die spiritually!
I don't take this lightly, God has been more than merciful with me, and I own Him all I have, which isn't much compared to what He did for me, through my crisis of conviction, and leading to godly sorrow, and Him showing me how far off the mark I was, living a lie, worshiping at the alter of satan, every time I went on line to watch porn, or watched the XXX Channel, so all you out there who profess to be of Christ, and find our repentance messages repulsive and prideful to you, think about this:
Then take into consideration the effect this Doctrine has had on the People. They sin with impunity! I've heard stories of men who have come out the System and were truly Saved, who said they were hopelessly addicted to Pornography and lust. When they sought help, time and again, the Pastor and other church leaders would tell them not to worry about it, God will clean him up in time and remove the desire, so focus on your service. In this case the service was ‘Children’s ministry’ ! WOW. They allow someone with a dangerous addiction to teach the kids. Outrageous, yet common.
People with these addiction need to Repent, they are NOT Christians. The Promise Keepers have no real impact on them because they preach the magic cloak. They need John the Baptist! Your churches have been infiltrated by them and as a ‘little’ Leaven, leavens the whole lump, they have brought society to the depths of Satan. Still you Pastors refuse to wake up and claim that everything is fine. This is Christianity, You claim. The people are hypocrites and the Chief of sinners. They can't help what they are and that’s why we need the Cover. Without it everyone will be lost.
So at its base your Gospel is flawed. You rest Salvation on a ‘repeat after me’ formula, or a Trusting in the Provision of Christ. In the Bible Salvation is established on Repentance and Faith PROVEN by Deeds. But today Most of Christendom will not even mention Repentance. The small segment that still does preach it has it like everything else, ‘In Reverse’ of the Bible. They have the person getting Saved first and then Repenting….AFTER God has off-set his inbred depravity or nature so he could respond to the Gospel. The reason for this is their own theology. Here’s the Premise:
Man is born in sin. (whether its inherited from Adam, natural depravity or inbred) His natural ability has been affected to the extent that he is incapable of stopping sinning or turning to God. He may be willing but he’s not able. Not without help from above. So the Biblical concept of Sin Stopping in Repentance before a person is saved is an absolute impossibility in the minds of the Pastors. No matter what happened in Nineveh or how many times you show them the arrangement of the passages that say so clearly ‘It’s Repentance unto Salvation’ NOT salvation unto repentance, they refuse to relent. In their minds man CANNOT stop sinning and if he could he wouldn't need Jesus….or you really mean the Magic Cloak.
As I’ve said this is the fundamental flaw in your Doctrine and it’s the reason no one is getting saved out of their sin. In your attempt to uphold the Sovereignty of God you completely eliminate the Synergy of man being ‘workers together’ with Him. Man is not already Reconciled to God. There’s a process to Reconciliation and it begins with Repentance, Faith and deeds. He doesn’t need anything off-set in his spirit to turn to God. His ability is in tact. The Prodigal son sitting in the pig pen came to his senses rose up forsook his sins and returned to the Father. All the Prophets directed their message in this manner, as a given man could turn and do what God has said. (edited by LLJ removed link)
“Let the wicked forsake his ways and the unrighteous man his thoughts. Let him return to the Lord and He will have mercy on him.” Isa55:7
Final comments, Please know this is serious business, IF any of you think you can sin away, and you are ok by God think again, God is not mocked and will not relent forever, I was living the lie, told all was well from scholars in the faith who were just as blind as I was, I am thoroughly blessed by God for Him giving me the privilege to come before His alter on my face! crying out for His great mercy, as He lead me through repentance, and set me on the rock of Jesus Christ, I had to die to self, and now live IN Christ, pure and undefiled, a heart made pure through an obedient faith, filled with the spirit of God, living a simple life pleasing to Him, dead to sin and my sick, perverted flesh!

Repentance of sin means to STOP the sin! Jesus made it clear repent or perish! Luke 13-3..
Without real biblical repentance there is no remission of sins, those who are in bondage to sins of the flesh need to repent, or else they will not enter into the kingdom of God!
2Co 7:10 For the grief according to God works repentance to salvation, not to be regretted, but the grief of the world works out death.
2Co 7:11 For behold this same thing (you being grieved according to God); how much it worked out earnestness in you; but also defense; but also indignation; but also fear; but also desire; but also zeal; but also vengeance! In everything you approved yourselves to be clear in the matter.
