THE BIBLE IS NOT GOD!

I don't know why some of us act so surprised when we are hated and abused, scandalized and misused, slaughtered, beaten and killed by the racist elements in America.    Maybe some of us have forgotten our past and our Black History.  And maybe some of us have never known it.

GOD IS LOVE & HIS LOVE IS ETERNAL! / Special Valentine Day Edition 2015

As night falls and this Sabbath Day ends, there are many who have succumbed to depression, sadness, loneliness and the feeling of being unloved and unwanted just because they didn’t receive a “Valentine” gift or because they are without a significant other on this unique day of contradiction between God’s Seventh Day Sabbath and man’s pagan festival.

To those who are so negatively impacted by this Valentine’s Day tradition, I challenge you to remember that God has not done this to you nor would He. His ordained Day is a delight and a joy and a time for refreshing. He has not burdened us with buying anything or giving anything or expecting anything from anyone on His Sabbath Day. He has not stressed us or made us anxious about being loved. He already has demonstrated His LOVE toward us beyond human imagining and He continues to do so on a daily basis and not just one time a year.

True Divine Love cannot be commercialized or packaged and it certainly isn’t limited to a festival.

His Love is always there with us.

GOD LOVES US BEYOND MEASURE.

GOD LOVES US TO LIFE – ETERNAL LIFE.

SO LIFT UP YOUR HEADS AND YOUR HEARTS AND RECOGNIZE THAT NO MAN-MADE LOVE FESTIVAL CAN COMPARE TO THE LOVE OF GOD FOR US.

This Is Truth Ministry with Bishop O.W. Prince

Beware of the clandestine and insidious systems of attack by Satan that profane humanity and sabotages our sense of decency and morality.

“A DAY LATE AND A DOLLAR SHORT" with Bishop O.W. Prince

Sometimes the best and most precious things are wrapped in plain brown paper.

Take notice whenever you’ve been overlooked for something shiny and bright and then refuse to be anybody’s second choice.

Rest assured that you were always the better choice.

“Saved By The Blood and Not By Religion”

By Bishop O.W. Prince

Some folks put entirely too much trust in themselves and their church.

Some folks’ hope of salvation is in their regular church attendance.  Some folks’ hope of salvation rests upon their church membership. Some folks’ hope of eternal life after death depends heavily upon their tithes and offering. Some folks’ hope of salvation is in their being baptized by burial into water in the name of Christ Jesus.   Some folks’ hope for eternal life rests in their speaking in tongues.  Some folks believe that strict observance of the Ten Commandments will guarantee their entrance into the Kingdom of God.  And albeit, these things may have their proper place as responses to God’s Forgiving Love in Christ Jesus, I trust only in the Blood of Christ and His saving work upon the cross.

THE BLOOD NEVER LOSES ITS POWER!

I am saved by the Blood of Christ through Faith (Trusting Obedience) in God.

In whom or what do you trust?

Why Are We Still Saying “One Nation Under God?”

I was watching “We The People with Gloria Allred” about a case between two co-workers.

During the deliberations, the plaintiff was shown to be an obnoxious bully who incessantly harassed the defendant about her weight and eating habits. 

The plaintiff made some remark that she believed the defendant to be pregnant and that the defendant may have been ashamed of being pregnant because she was unmarried.

Judge Allred questioned the plaintiff about what she meant by implying that the defendant may have been ashamed or embarrassed about being pregnant and single. She wanted to know if the plaintiff thought that the defendant should be ashamed of being single and pregnant. The plaintiff, in effect, back peddled and said “of course not” and that she was a good person – implying that good people do not think that being single and pregnant is nothing to be ashamed of or embarrassed about. 

However, this same “good person” was not admonished or questioned about bullying someone about their weight or eating habits.

It is obvious to me that the demonically clandestine and subliminal message in all of this is that it is alright to harass someone about their weight and how they look but it is unacceptable to suggest that someone should be ashamed of being a fornicator and becoming pregnant outside of the bonds of holy matrimony. 

“We don’t even have the common decency to be ashamed of our own sinful behaviors anymore. We have become brazen in our filthiness and disgusting in our whoredom.” (O.W. Prince) 

Why are we still saying “One Nation Under God” when our courts and laws openly contradict the moral principles of God?

THE WORD OF GOD SAYS...

"They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts.  Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, and they are full of greed. That, however, is not the way of life you learned." - Ephesians 4:18-20 (NIV)

Being Legal Doesn't Make It Right

Everything That Shines Ain't Gold

We have all heard it said that “Everything that shines ain’t gold.” And in Isaiah the 14^th Chapter, Lucifer (The Devil) is described as the bright Morning Star – The most beautiful of God’s creations.  Nevertheless, he was cast down out of heaven to the earth along with a third of the stars (angels) of heaven) for prideful rebellion (Revelation 12:4).

There are a lot of good looking, good sounding, excellent speaking, persuasive and motivating preachers and Pastors who shine brightly in the earth. 

But suffice it to say that “Everything that shine ain’t Gold.”

The Bibles teaches us to “test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.” 

And how do we test the Spirit to see if they are confessing or rather teaching the Doctrine of Christ?

Apostles Paul answers that question in Galatians 1:8 by saying: “if anyone or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one preached to us by the Apostles of Christ, let them be under God's curse!”

The standard for telling if a preacher is preaching God’s Truth is to measure it against the commands of God and the teachings and practices of the true apostles of Christ.

Christ and His Apostles have set the standard for the Church of Jesus Christ. And  any other teaching, any other doctrines or any other practice is accursed.

Everything that shines ain’t gold!

Knowing Fear

In the Authorized King James Version of the Bible, it is reported that the phrases “Fear not” or “Be not afraid” appears 103 times.

In the New Testament, “Fear not” appears at least 16 times and “Be not afraid” appears at least 9 times for a total of 25 times.

“Fear” itself is spoken of over 500 times in the King James Version of the Bible.

And Jesus said unto Simon, “Fear not. From henceforth thou shalt catch men.” – Luke 5:10

And in Matthew 10:28 Jesus says to “fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.”

And in Psalms 111:10 it says, “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom.”

Is the Bible contradicting itself or are there different types of fears being spoken of.

A Crumb From The Master's Table / O.W. Prince Ministries

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. -1John 1:9

Clear the air. Open Confession is Good for the Soul.  If we confess first, then our enemies have nothing to hold over your heads. 

Disarm the devil and come clean with God and He will wash you whiter than snow. (Psalms 51:6-8)

A CALL TO SEXUAL PURITY

1 Corinthians 6:18
 Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body.

1 Corinthians 7:2
 But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband.

1 Thessalonians 4:3-8
For this is the will of God, your sanctification:[a] that you abstain from sexual immorality; that each one of you know how to control his own body in holiness and honor,  not in the passion of lust like the Gentiles who do not know God; that no one transgress and wrong his brother in this matter, because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as we told you beforehand and solemnly warned you.  For God has not called us for impurity, but in holiness.  Therefore whoever disregards this, disregards not man but God, who gives his Holy Spirit to you.

"LIED TO DEATH"

Would you rather feel good or be well?

A lot of folks are made to feel good while in actuality they are dying.  They are suffering from the horrors of the undiagnosed disease of sin.  They are exemplifying all of the symptoms of sin i.e. unforgiveness, malice, fornication, adultery, lying, stealing, disobedient to God’s Eternal Commandments, idolatry, homosexuality, false doctrines, witchcraft, licentiousness, lewdness, pornography, vulgar speech, vulgar appearance, vulgar thinking, drunkenness, sexual perversions and uncleanness, BUT NO ONE WANTS TO TELL THEM ABOUT THEIR DREADFUL DISEASE OF SIN.  

Most folks are satisfied with being made to feel good about themselves. (2 Timothy 4:3)  They want to be encouraged in their sinful state. They want to be excused from any genuine change and told that they can be successful Christians through the process of self-improvement, learning to live right and understanding God’s Word by continual studying and church attendance.  Some are convinced that they can be saved simply by believing in the Lord whereas the demons also believe and tremble.  Are demons saved by faith also? If the demons are not saved then neither are those who simply receive Christ with a gesture of faith or some man-made sinner’s prayer.

I’d rather hear the truth about my sinful condition that threatens my eternal soul rather than be deceived into believing that I am alright then die and go to hell. I had rather be thoroughly examined, properly diagnosed and prescribed God’s eternal commandments for salvation (Repentance, Water Baptism in His Name and the Empowerment of the Holy Spirit – John 3:3-7 and Acts 2:38) and take my medicine now than walk around thinking I am saved only to hear the Lord tell me on that day “…I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!” (Matthew 7:21-23)

As for the would be deceiver of my soul, there is a dreadful day ahead for him. (Ezekiel 33:1-9)

I’D RATHER BE WELL THAN JUST MADE TO FEEL GOOD.

How about you?

“There Is Only One Way”– The Bible Is Right and Somebody Is Wrong

I cannot help but to be concerned about my fellow believers in Christ Jesus who are so argumentative and divisive about what genuine salvation is.

Some say that they are saved simply because they have believed the gospel. However, they don’t obey the gospel.

Some say that they are saved because they have verbally confessed the Lord Jesus Christ. However, they don’t keep His commands.

Some say that they are saved because they have received the Lord Jesus Christ. But what does that really mean?

Some say that they are saved because they have been baptized into water in the name of Jesus Christ or in the name of the Father and of the Son and of The Holy Ghost.  But did they die to sin before the burial?

Some say that they are saved because they speak in tongue. But, the devil can imitate the tongue.

Some say that they are saved because they belong to a church or denomination. But is the Church in the Truth?  Is The Pastor Born Again and Sent By God?

Some are convinced of their salvation because they have experienced a strong emotional demonstration or they have undergone a lifestyle change whereby they don’t have any social vices or bad habits. But is salvation based upon habits, feelings, loud shouting and dancing in the church?

Sadly, eternal salvation doesn’t exist in any one of these. And although it pains me to say it, there are some believers (Churchgoers) who are not going to be saved.
Many are carnal minded, rebellious, stubborn, deluded and confused and cannot come into a saving knowledge of the Truth. (Romans 8:7, 1 Corinthians 2:14, 2 Thessalonians 2:9-11, 2 Timothy 3:6-9)

Many would-be Christians expend enormous amounts of energy through emotional displays, theatrics and public performances, attempting to convince themselves and others that they are saved when in actually they are unchanged. They have been deceived by Satan, blinded by their own lusts and confused by their desire to validate their own Faith.

Nevertheless, for whatever reason or cause, many believers believe different things about God’s One True Plan Of Salvation and I am concerned that in this confusion of religious diversities, many would-be saints are being lost.

And regardless of what anyone thinks or says, it is the living Word of God – Christ Jesus - who is the ultimate authority and final judge of what is required for salvation and who is saved and who is not. (Matthew 7:21-23, John 5:22, 27, Acts 17:31, Acts 10:42)

And behold there is only One Way to be Saved – Jesus Christ!

"Grace Defined"

Lately it seems that the term “grace” is being used by religious folks to refer to everything but the kitchen sink.

One of the ways it is being defined by some Christians is that grace is the opposite of the Law.  However, contrary to popular opinion, grace is not the opposite of the Law or commandments of God.  The opposite of the law isindecency or lawlessness.  But Grace is favor over the Law.  It is the favor that comes from being God’s child, and not from justifying our actions or behavior legally or otherwise.  If you sin against God and repent –demonstrating your desire for forgiveness and mercy – earnestly desiring to be in a right relationship with the Father – His favor or His grace accepts your apology even when the Law demands your punishment.

Another way of understanding this is to say that we are always “under the law” of God but we are not always subject to the demands and penalties of the Law although we may be found guilty of a violation of the law.  I know that this seems to contradict the Word found in Romans 6:14 that says, “For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.”  But if you were to look at this scripture in the light of Jesus’ teachings you would realize that Romans 6:14 doesn’t mean that God has done away with His Eternal Ten Commandments.  To the contrary, we all are subject to the eternal commandment of God and instructed by Jesus to keep all of God’s commandments. (Matthew 7:21-23, John 14:15, John 14:21, 1 John 2:4). Therefore, God’s Eternal Law abounds over us but where the law abounds grace much more abounds – admonishing us to obey God’s Commandments voluntarily and go and sin no more. (Romans 5:15, 20)

For instance, if you were caught speeding – doing 55 miles per hours in a 35 miles per hour speed zone – you were guilty of a traffic violation but you repented and acknowledged responsibility for your offense – then the Law Enforcement Officer, instead of penalizing you as you deserve, issued you a warning ticket – he showed you mercy.  This act of kindness doesn’t justify your violation nor does it relax the law or license you to continue to speed.  It simply extended mercy toward you, allowing you another opportunity to comply with the law and obey the speed limit from here on out (John 8:10-11).  But if you practice speeding and continue to disregard the law, mercy will cease and punishment will be enforced.  However, grace accepts the penalty (punishment) for our transgressions and relieves us from the consequences of our lawlessness.  But this grace is not for everyone.

Now God may have mercy on whomever He will but His grace is reserved for His children.

Many are under the impression that “Grace” is somehow extended to everyone regardless of their willful disobedience to God’s commandments.  Thus they believe that in order to be saved by grace all that they have to do is recite a prayer or repeat a confession of faith.  Others think that gracesomehow excuses them from any obligation to observe and keep the Eternal Moral Commandments of God.  They believe that God will pardoned their willful disobedience and lawlessness on the merits of grace. However, they are dangerously mistaken.

Only those who obey God’s commandment to repent (die to sin) and are baptized into the death of Jesus Christ may consider themselves children of God and eligible to receive His grace.

A good way to understand how Grace relates to one’s relationship with God is to think of God as a good parent and ourselves as children (Matthew 18:2-4).  Children have favor in the eyes of their parents.  If they obey their parents, they are rewarded.  If while obeying their parents they get into any trouble or break anything, the parents assume responsibility and pays any cost on behalf of their child.  The child doesn’t earn this grace, it is freely given by virtue of the child’s relationship to the parent. However, a child of disobedience (a practitioner of sin) has no expectation of grace or favor from God.  God is not his parent.  His parent is Satan (John 8:44).

Let me summarize. Mercy is the acts of being excused from the full weight of the consequences of our offence  although we are guilty of breaking the law.  It is withheld punishment or postponed condemnation for God is NOT willing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9).  Whereas Grace is the act of receiving what we could not earn or deserve on our own.  It is unmerited favor and forgiveness.  Grace is reserved for those who have Repented,Kept God’s Commandments and Obeyed His will (Romans 6:1-4).

“Mercy doesn’t save us.  It gives us time to repent.  God’s Grace Saves!“ (Ref. Matthew 7:21-23, Ephesians 2:8)

All Praise Honor and Glory belongs to God the Father through Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen.
