Will You Die For Jesus the Messiah? Are You Dying Now?

Brothers and sisters, perilous times are upon us as the Word of God prophesied would come. Are you dying to the things your old nature wants or are you living for the cares of this world and yourself? There is a day quickly approaching when we all will be exposed. The righteous and the wicked. Many are turning from their righteousness and doing those things that are wicked. Few are turning from their wickedness to righteous. Today is the day of salvation. How we will die is what matters, as we will be judged for what we have done. If you die today, are you living for Jesus the Messiah or yourself? If you are not living for Jesus now, how will you stand for Him and give your life when persecution comes and you are told to deny Christ or lose your head?

Matthew 16:24 ISV
Then Jesus told his disciples, "If anyone wants to follow me, he must deny himself, pick up his cross, and follow me continuously."

Ephesians 2 ISV
1You used to be dead because of your offenses and sins 2that you once practiced as you lived according to the ways of this present world and according to the ruler of the power of the air, the spirit that is now active in those who are disobedient.a 3Indeed, all of us once behaved likeb them in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of our flesh and senses. By nature we were destined forc wrath, just like everyone else.

1 Peter 4 ISV
1Therefore, since the Messiaha suffered in a mortal body,b you, too, must arm yourselves with the same determination, because the person who has suffered in a mortal body has stopped sinning, 2so that he can live the rest of his mortal lifec guided, not by human desires, but by the will of God. 3For you spent enough time in the past doing what the gentiles like to do, living in sensuality, sinful desires, drunkenness, wild celebrations, drinking parties, and detestable idolatry. 4They insult you now because they are surprised that you are no longer joining them in the same excesses of wild living. 5They will give an account to the one who is ready to judge the living and the dead. 6Indeed, this is why the gospel was proclaimed even to those who have died, so that they could be judged in their mortal flesh like all humans and live in the spiritual realm like God.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Galations 5 ISV

13For you, brothers, were called to freedom. Only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity to gratify your flesh, but through love make it your habit to serve one another. 14For the whole Law is summarized in a single statement: “You must love your neighbor as yourself.”k15But if you bite and devour one another, be careful that you are not destroyed by each other. 16So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will never fulfill the desires of the flesh. 17For what the flesh wants is opposed to the Spirit, and what the Spirit wants is opposed to the flesh. They are opposed to each other, and so you do not do what you want to do. 18But if you are being led by the Spirit, you are not under the Law.                                                                   

19Now the actions of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity, promiscuity, 20idolatry, witchcraft,l hatred, rivalry, jealously, outbursts of anger, quarrels, conflicts, factions, 21envy, murder,m drunkenness, wild partying, and things like that. I am telling you now, as I have told you in the past, that people who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. 22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,n 23gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against such things. 24Now those who belong to the Messiaho Jesus have crucified their flesh with its passions and desires. 25Since we live by the Spirit, by the Spirit let us also be guided. 26Let’s stop being arrogant, provoking one another and envying one another.                                                                                                                                                                                                           Ezekiel 18 ISV

23“I don’t take delight in the death of the wicked, do I?” asks the Lord GOD. “Shouldn’t I rather delightj when he turns from his wicked ways and lives? 24But when the righteous person abandons his righteous deeds and commits evil, detestable practices, as wicked people do, he won’t live, will he? None of the righteous acts that he had done will be remembered. He’ll die in his treacherous unfaithfulness and sins that he had committed.”

Hebrews 3 ISV

12See to it, my brothers, that no evil, unbelieving heart is found in any of you, as shown by your turning away from the living God.13Instead, continue to encourage one another every day, as long as it is called “Today,” so that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin, 14because we are the Messiah’sh partners only if we hold on to our original confidence to the end.i 15As it is said,

“Today, if you hear his voice,

do not harden your hearts

as they did when they provoked me.”j

16Now who heard him and provoked him? Was it not all those who came out of Egypt ledk by Moses? 17And with whom was he angry for 40 years? Was it not with those who sinned and whose bodies fell dead in the wilderness? 18And to whom did he swear that they would never enter his rest? It was to those who disobeyed him, was it not? 19So we see that they were unable to enter because of their unbelief.

If you are following the TV preachers and those teachers who are building large crowds, you are in serious trouble. These teachers were prophesied to come. They are wolves in sheep's clothing. Clouds without rain. They will lead you to hell. Please get into the New Testament. Read it. Believe what is says as it is written. Do not let ANY teacher explain it away. YOU WILL NOT HEAR THE ABOVE VERSES BY THE WOLVES AND HIRED SHEPHERDS. I BEG YOU NOT TO LISTEN TO THEM, BUT LISTEN TO THE NEW TESTAMENT SCRIPTURES AND BELIEVE WHAT IS WRITTEN. IT IS ABOUT YOUR SOUL!!! PLEASE.....TRUST NO MAN WITH YOUR SOUL!
