6 Biblical Truths That KEEP ME GROUNDED!!

Glory be to God! Welcome everyone to Episode #905 Season 12.


** 🙋🏾‍♀️ STAY TUNED UNTIL THE VERY END OF THIS EPISODE! ** 🚩Follow me on YouTube: @repentbelieve8094 . You can also email me at: BACKTOGODMINISTRIES1968@GMAIL.COM.


💥 Join me today on the podcast as I exhort: The enemy is always looking to get a foothold in our lives! He will use any one of his many devices to get you back into the traps and snares of sin, deception and delusion. But if we hold onto biblical truths while we submit ourselves to God, resist the devil, he will flee from us as James 4:7 teaches.


Today, I'm sharing six biblical truths that not only keep me grounded and reminded of what Jesus taught, but many us who follow Him, love His teachings and do not find it a burden to obey them. We show our love for Jesus when we follow His commandments! His Word is a guardrail in our lives - guiding, and protecting us so we don't get off course and fall off into a ditch and end up losing our souls! What did He say over there in Matthew 7:24? "Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock," and that Rock is Him!


He's the Good Shepherd! He will never leave us astray when we commit to follow and obey our Master and Savior!


Amen! 🎯 REPENT AND BELIEVE AND TURN BACK TO GOD!

There's a lot of PAPER 💸💸 CHASING going on in Churches rather than SANCTIFICATION!! 🙄


Glory be to God! Welcome everyone to Episode #904 Season 12.


** 🙋🏾‍♀️ STAY TUNED UNTIL THE VERY END OF THIS EPISODE! ** 🚩Follow me on YouTube: @repentbelieve8094 . You can also email me at: BACKTOGODMINISTRIES1968@GMAIL.COM.


💥 Join me today on the podcast as I exhort: As we look forward to the Day of the Lord and hasten its coming, we are to be a people, a holy nation, to be found blameless in His sight until then. Therefore, as we await, we are instructed to "mortify" or "put to death" (see Col. 3:5) our members, the parts of ourselves that belong to our old, sinful nature. We have been raised to new life with Christ and should no longer be defined by worldly, sinful behaviors, but be sanctified by the powerful working of the Holy Spirit!


However, this is not being taught as much in the modern church today. You want to know why? There's a lot of PAPER CHASING going on in churches rather than SANCTIFICATION and CONTENTMENT!! Unfortunately, for the body of Christ, there are many corrupt-minded false prophets and teachers teaching HERESIES from pulpits all around the world. They preach that "godliness is a source of profit [a lucrative, money-making business—withdraw from them]" (1 Timothy 6:5) AMP.


The King James version says it like this: "supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself." The meaning of 'Gain is Godliness' refers to the belief held by corrupt individuals that religious piety can be a means to acquire wealth and that financial advantage is a sign of being godly. This highlights a twisted view of faith, where it's seen as a pathway to wealth rather than a life lived in service and contentment. Peter tells us in 2 Peter 2:2, "Many will follow their shameful ways, and because of them the way of truth will be maligned. 3 And in their greed they will exploit you with false arguments and twisted doctrine."


Heresies and Greed (which is idolatry) are both works of the flesh: 20 "Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, ... 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).


None of these things should be named among the Elect of God! Lord Jesus and His apostles warned us about wolves in sheep's clothing pretending to be sheep, but INWARDLY they are ravenous wolves looking to separate the sheep from the Good Shepherd with their false teachings, compliance with sin, and a lust for material and financial gain. The bible teaches us to "withdraw thyself" from "men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth," and that is what we shall do!


Amen! 🎯 REPENT AND BELIEVE AND TURN BACK TO GOD!

When is too much 🤤 PARTYING a Bad Thing??

Glory be to God! Welcome everyone to Episode #903 Season 12.


** 🙋🏾‍♀️ STAY TUNED UNTIL THE VERY END OF THIS EPISODE! ** 🚩Follow me on YouTube: @repentbelieve8094 . You can also email me at: BACKTOGODMINISTRIES1968@GMAIL.COM.


💥 Join me today on the podcast as I exhort: There are some things we used to do with the fast crowd when we ran with them "in the same flood of dissipation," but now in Christ, we have put on the "new man" and taken off the "old man" with its lusts and desires! In time past, we all lived by the will of the flesh and was not seeking the will of God. But now, we have Light - Jesus Christ. We have been transferred out of the kingdom of darkness into the Kingdom of God's dear Son. Therefore, we no longer walk by the flesh but by the Spirit.


In today's episode, we will be looking at one of the works of the flesh (Galatians 5:21) called "REVELINGS." Because there are many Christians today who are indulging in revelings. Revelings are out of control partying - where one is indulging in lewdness, drunkenness, and sensualities that are unbecoming of a child of God. It means “noisy partying” or “carousing." The Bible says revelings is part of the lifestyle of “pagans." We are no longer pagans, but followers of the Lord Jesus Christ.


When people “go wild,” they are engaging in “revellings.” In Galatians 5, Paul warns the churches of Galatia to put away all “works of the flesh,” including sexual sins, sins of hateful attitudes toward others, and the sins of “drunkenness” and “revellings.” Those who do such things will not inherit the Kingdom of God.


Does this mean that all parties are off limits? Not at all. But parties characterized by gluttony, immoderate drinking, lewdness, or out-of-control behavior of any kind are antithetical to the work of the Holy Spirit. The Christian avoids “revellings.” He sees the works of the flesh as less and less appealing!


So let us put away any and all behaviors that are contrary to the fruits of the Spirit and walk in the light!


Amen! 🎯 REPENT AND BELIEVE AND TURN BACK TO GOD!

Dark times are here! What are we to do about it??

Glory be to God! Welcome everyone to Episode #901 Season 12.


** 🙋🏾‍♀️ STAY TUNED UNTIL THE VERY END OF THIS EPISODE! ** 🚩Follow me on YouTube: @repentbelieve8094 . You can also email me at: BACKTOGODMINISTRIES1968@GMAIL.COM.


💥 Join me today on the podcast as I exhort: Deception in the world is at all time high and many are being led and swept away by wolves-in-sheep's clothing from politics to the pulpit! Satan knows his time is short and he is trying to take many with him straight to the Lake of Fire! He's looking to completely devour the saints of God!!


In today's episode, we will be answering the burning question on the floor: "As God's children, chosen unto righteousness, what are we to do about the dark times we are living in? Long answer short, we know that we live in a world completely manipulated by Satan! However, no matter how dark the times get, we must remember that we do have a Savior who died and rose the third day! We remain faithful to Him and continue to abide in Him as we await His return. The Bible tells us in 2 Timothy 2:19, "Let everyone who names the Name of the Lord depart from iniquity."


We also know from the Bible that those not wanting their evil deeds exposed, do not come to the Light (study John 3:18-19). This is why they will be judged. We are not to be caught up in the flood of dissipation! We are to remain faithful and abiding in Christ Jesus until the end and He shall reward us for our faith: our salvation!

Prayer for Safekeeping from WICKEDNESS - Psalm 141

Glory be to God! Welcome everyone to Episode #900 Season 12.


** 🙋🏾‍♀️ STAY TUNED UNTIL THE VERY END OF THIS EPISODE! ** 🚩Follow me on YouTube: @repentbelieve8094 . You can also email me at: BACKTOGODMINISTRIES1968@GMAIL.COM.


💥 Join me today on the podcast as I exhort: BEING KEPT SAFE FROM WICKEDNESS! Our focus text is on Psalm 141. This is a powerful prayer by King David portraying a deeply personal and righteous prayer for protection, both from external enemies and from the corrupting influences of the wicked world. It is highlighting for us the importance of circumspection, spiritual discipline, and unwavering trust in God's justice to guide us through dangerous circumstances.



We are kept from wickedness when we remain close to God (James 4:7). When we submit under His Mighty Hand, we are safe! He is our Refuge and Strong Tower. We run as the Bible says in Proverbs 18:10, "The name of the Lord is a strong tower; The righteous runs to it and is safe and set on high [far above evil]." Yes, far above evil!! That's where we want to be - safe. Safe from the coming wrath of God. Safe from the hands of evil wicked men. Safe from the corruption that's in the world. Safe from deception. Safe from the tricks and traps of the devil. Safe from self-destruction & delusion. Just safe period! That means safe and protected.



We are not safe and protected if we are willfully engaging in a lifestyle of DELIBERATE sin! That's what makes false doctrine so dangerous to the believer. The "Once saved/ Always Saved" doctrine gives false assurance of "eternal security." Because of it, believers are not heeding the warnings of not returning back to our vomit! Stay away from evil and you will be safe in the arms of God!



Amen! 🎯 REPENT AND BELIEVE AND TURN BACK TO GOD!

Grace Doesn’t Mean 🙅🏾‍♀️ You Get to LIVE HOWEVER YOU WANT!!! 🤦🏾‍♀️

Glory be to God! Welcome everyone to Episode #894, Season 11.

** STAY TUNED UNTIL THE VERY END OF THIS EPISODE! ** TUNE IN EVERY 2 TO 3 DAYS FOR NEW EPISODES! Follow me on YouTube: @repentbelieve8094 . you can also email me at: BACKTOGODMINISTRIES1968@GMAIL.COM.

Join me today on the podcast as I exhort: Beloved, I implore you—do not take God’s grace lightly! Too many of His children are abusing His mercy, choosing to reject true repentance and instead using grace as a license to remain in sin. They cloak their disobedience under false doctrines—"Easy Believism," "Once Saved, Always Saved," and "Eternal Security"—believing they can live unchanged lives, disregarding His commandments, and that somehow, God will still usher them into His Kingdom. But that is deception!

Jesus Himself warns us in John 15 that He is the Vine, and we are the branches. If we break away from Him, we are no longer abiding in Him. Just as a severed branch withers and is thrown into the fire, so too will those who turn away be cast into destruction (John 15:6). Do not be deceived—God’s grace will not cover willful disobedience!

Hear me! No amount of pleading, crying, or begging will change this truth—God, our holy Father, who sent His sinless Son to lay down His precious life for the world, will never reward disobedience. Not for you, not for me, not for anyone! His grace is meant to transform us, not enable sin.

Let this be a warning! While the Father offers boundless mercy, simply accepting it without striving for obedience does not secure salvation. Obedience to His commands is essential. Satan’s most insidious lie is the doctrine of Unconditional Eternal Security—the belief that once we accept Christ, we can never forfeit salvation, no matter how we live. This false assurance is the very deception that led Eve to believe she could defy God’s commands and not suffer the consequences.

In view of God’s mercy, we must commit ourselves to live consecrated, holy lives unto Him—not in complacency, but in reverence and love for our Creator. 

 REPENT! BELIEVE! TURN back to God! His arms are open, but only for the truly surrendered!

Chosen Ones: Those Who Are Christ’s Have CRUCIFIED the Flesh!!!
Glory be to God! Welcome everyone to Episode #893, Season 11. ** 🙋🏾‍♀️ STAY TUNED UNTIL THE VERY END OF THIS EPISODE! ** 🚩TUNE IN EVERY 2 TO 3 DAYS FOR NEW EPISODES! Follow me on YouTube: @repentbelieve8094 . you can also email me at: BACKTOGODMINISTRIES1968@GMAIL.COM. 💥 Join me today on the podcast as I exhort: "God's firm foundation stands, bearing this seal: The Lord knows those who are his, and, let everyone who names the name of the Lord depart from iniquity" (2 Timothy 2:19). This is telling us that God, Our Father Who art in Heaven, has a firm foundation for His people, and it is sealed with two truths: God knows His own, and those who call on His name... MUST TURN away from wickedness! Salvation is of the Lord and is FROM the Lord! We do not abuse His grace by gratifying the sensual desires of the flesh! The Bible instructs us that "Salvation belongs to the Lord" (Jonah 2:9). This verse, spoken from the depths of the sea by Jonah, affirms that salvation is a divine gift, not a human achievement! Therefore, through the power and working of the Holy Spirit, we must turn away from all iniquity by crucifying the flesh, and live a life worthy of our calling, thus, making our election sure! The Bible is unanimous in all of Scripture: If we go on deliberately and willfully sinning and do not crucifying the flesh, we will all perish right along with the world. It is not God's will for His chosen ones to perish like the rest of the unbelieving, Christ-rejecting world (that opposes God and applauds sin). We must understand that crucifying and denying the flesh has been demanded of us by the Lord. "Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me" (Matthew‬ ‭16‬:‭24)‬. The question is often asked: "How to lessen this struggle and begin to take control over the flesh and bring it into submission?" The answer is simple, but effective. 👉🏾 KILL IT!!! “For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.” – Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭13-14 Amen! 🎯 REPENT and BELIEVE and TURN back to God!

Chosen Ones: What It Means To Be A Child & Servant of God!!🙏🏾🥰
Glory be to God! Welcome everyone to Episode #892, Season 10. ** 🙋🏾‍♀️ STAY TUNED UNTIL THE VERY END OF THIS EPISODE! ** 🚩TUNE IN EVERY 2 TO 3 DAYS FOR NEW EPISODES! Follow me on YouTube: @repentbelieve8094 . you can also email me at: BACKTOGODMINISTRIES1968@GMAIL.COM. 💥 Join me today on the podcast as I exhort: God chose us in Him before the foundation of the world for good works unto holiness and obedience, and to be found blameless in His sight. In love, He predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself. In Whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace; according to the good pleasure of His will! (Study Ephesians 1:4-7). We have been chosen by God to serve! Being chosen by God to be a servant is both an honor and a responsibility that shapes our identity and our mission in life. To be chosen by God as a servant means aligning our will with His, seeking His guidance, and walking in obedience. It requires a posture of humility, recognizing that apart from Him, we can do nothing (John 15:5). It also involves a commitment to love and serve others, reflecting the character of Christ in all we do. This calling can manifest in various ways in your daily life—whether through acts of kindness, sharing the gospel, or using your gifts to edify the body of Christ. Each act of service, no matter how small, contributes to the advancement of God’s Kingdom. Your calling by the Lord to serve is unique to you, your gifts, and your experiences. You will experience the pleasure of your heavenly Father as you love others on His behalf. Out of the power of the Holy Spirit working through you, you’ll find strength and enjoy a fruitful, flourishing life. A surrendered life serves at the pleasure of Christ’s call! Amen! 🎯 REPENT and BELIEVE and TURN back to God!

Why Some Christians Are Failing to FINISH THEIR RACE??? 😣
Glory be to God! Welcome everyone to Episode #891, Season 10. ** 🙋🏾‍♀️ STAY TUNED UNTIL THE VERY END OF THIS EPISODE! ** 🚩TUNE IN EVERY 2 TO 3 DAYS FOR NEW EPISODES! Follow me on YouTube: @repentbelieve8094 . you can also email me at: BACKTOGODMINISTRIES1968@GMAIL.COM. 💥 Join me today on the podcast as I exhort: WE MUST RUN & FINISH OUR RACE, IN SPITE OF OBSTACLES & CHALLENGES - LAYING ASIDE EVERY WEIGHT OF SIN THAT SO EASILY BESETS US! Every believer runs his own race (1 Corinthians 9:24). Each of us is enabled to be a winner. Paul exhorted us to “run in such a way as to get the prize,” and to do this we must set aside anything that might hinder us from living and teaching the gospel of Christ. So, by declaring “I have finished the race,” (2 Timothy 4:7) Paul is telling Timothy that he had put every effort into the work of proclaiming to all the gospel of salvation. He had completed the course set before him; he had left nothing undone. He was ready to cross the finish line into the Kingdom. We “run” not for a temporary crown, but for an eternal one. Paul said to the church at Corinth, who were familiar with the Olympic Games, used the games as a metaphor when he said: “Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever” (1 Corinthians 9:24-25). Therefore, beloved, do not let sin and false doctrine have their way in your life to cause you to stumble and fall off from this wonderful race and journey we're on as we live wholly and devoted lives unto the Lord Jesus! Remain abiding in Him all the days of your life! May we be diligent in our “race,” may we keep our eyes on the goal, and may we, like Paul, finish strong. Amen! 🎯 REPENT and BELIEVE and TURN back to God!

Spiritual Death to the Christian whose Mind is STAYED on the FLESH!!! (w/ Special Guest)
Glory be to God! Welcome everyone to Episode #890, Season 10. ** 🙋🏾‍♀️ STAY TUNED UNTIL THE VERY END OF THIS EPISODE! ** 🚩TUNE IN EVERY 2 TO 3 DAYS FOR NEW EPISODES! Follow me on YouTube: @repentbelieve8094 . you can also email me at: BACKTOGODMINISTRIES1968@GMAIL.COM. 💥 Join me today on the podcast (w/ special guest: Monty, my 4-month-old Shorkie puppy, as I exhort: “For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace, because the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God..." "So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.” (Romans 8:6-8). We all have a flesh and it does not magically vanish when a person becomes a believer. Jesus said, “The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” The flesh is our old, carnal nature. It must be dealt with. Think of it as the weak-willed man within us. Our fallen nature has a side to it that has no character, no resolve, no backbone, and no self-control! When we speak of the flesh, or the carnal nature, keep in mind that we are primarily referring to a mind-set, a way of thinking. It is the insanity which keeps us bound up in sin that we know (when we are in our right minds) is destroying us. The Bible gives us the cure to crucifying the flesh: Walk by the Spirit and you will not gratify the sensual cravings of the fallen nature (the flesh)! Remember always, to whom (Holy Spirit or flesh) you sow to and who dominates (has charge /governs) your mind, will determine what you will reap: eternal life with God or eternal damnation without God! "Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. 8 For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life" (Galatians 6:7-8).

(PT. 2) Why Are Most Christians BATTLING DEPRESSION??? 😢☹️
[ * DISCLAIMER * ~ WELCOME TO PT. 2! DUE TO TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES, PT. 1 ENDED ABRUPTLY. ] Glory be to God! Welcome everyone to Episode #889, Season 10. ** 🙋🏾‍♀️ STAY TUNED UNTIL THE VERY END OF THIS EPISODE! ** 🚩TUNE IN EVERY 2 TO 3 DAYS FOR NEW EPISODES! Follow me on YouTube: @repentbelieve8094 . you can also email me at: BACKTOGODMINISTRIES1968@GMAIL.COM. 💥 Join me today on the podcast as I exhort: DEPRESSION is robbing many Christians of an abundant, joyful life in Christ! Today, we will be looking at the correlation between the false doctrine of "once saved /always saved" and DEPRESSION among Christians. When you believe that you have "eternal security" no matter how you live, you will have no problem acting out and avenging your frustrations, traumas, and pains on those who caused them. Lord Jesus commands us to: "Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you. In that way, you will be acting as true children of your Father in heaven" (Matthew 5:44-45). Unforgiveness, bitterness, anger, and a sense of hopelessness are the heart and root of depression. Romans 6:8 teaches that when the mind is governed (ruled) by the flesh, it is death, but the mind governed (ruled) by the Spirit is life and peace. When your flesh dominates your mind, there won't ever be any peace in your life, and depression will sink in! Only death shows up! When the mind is stayed on self, on the cares of life, on the wrongs committed, and the injustices that one bears in their soul, death comes 'a knocking! This is why the Bible tells us to protect the heart with all diligence, for out of it flows the issues of life (see Proverbs 4:23). In essence, the Holy Spirit is telling us: "Above all, be careful what you think because your thoughts control your life." The Bible also teaches that if we don't forgive, God won't forgive us. But that dangerous doctrine of "once saved /always saved" says you will inherit the kingdom of God no MATTER how you live! If we do not give our cares over to God and let Him avenge our wrongs, the mind that is governed (ruled) by the flesh will always send you on a crash collision course with that Lake of Fire! Lord Jesus gives the cure for anxiety: "Don't worry about your life and seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness" (study Matthew 6:25-34). When the mind is stayed on ungodly, unforgiven thoughts, rather than the things of God, they will take control of your life, and DEPRESSION and SPIRITUAL DEATH will set in!

Why "Once Saved /Always Saved" (OSAS) 😈 is GREAT DECEPTION!!!
Glory be to God! Welcome everyone to Episode #888, Season 10. ** 🙋🏾‍♀️ STAY TUNED UNTIL THE VERY END OF THIS EPISODE! ** 🚩TUNE IN EVERY 2 TO 3 DAYS FOR NEW EPISODES! Follow me on YouTube: @repentbelieve8094 . you can also email me at: BACKTOGODMINISTRIES1968@GMAIL.COM. 💥 Join me today on the podcast as I exhort: Why "Once Saved /Always Saved" (OSAS) 😈 is GREAT DECEPTION!!! Many Christians are living in a lie; they are living by many lies which leads to self-deception and increased delusions about God's grace. It is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the living God. If you keep on sinning, if you keep on deliberately, habitually, willfully SINNING, you will perish! Jesus said His sheep hears His voice and they listen to Him and they obey Him. If you are willfully sinning, you do not hear Jesus' voice; for if you had, you would know you're going the wrong way - that you must repent and "go, and sin no more." Many people want to hold onto John 10:27 to clear them of future sins. The Bible makes itself clear when it says, "Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons” (1 Timothy 4:1). No restraint on immoral living, will always lead to "once saved /always saved" (aka "a one and done") false doctrine. At the heart of this doctrine of devils, is the teaching that there will be no consequence for unrestrained immorality because Christ forgives "past, present, and FUTURE SINS!" Well, isn't that just great for the backslider! 😡 That high-ranking nonsense slaps in face of every scripture from Genesis to Revelation on remaining faithful and obedient until the end! What's the point of moral living, if the immoral will ALSO inherit the Kingdom of God? Therefore, we know something is not right here. Paul said that the "unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God." But the apostate church says the unrighteous WILL because they profess Christ with their mouths and recited some unbiblical, unscriptural "sinner's prayer," will still inherit the Kingdom ANYWAY, although they continued to live like hellions while claiming grace allows them to do so! So who's telling the truth?...WE SHALL SEE IN TODAY'S EPISODE! Amen! 🎯 REPENT and BELIEVE and TURN back to God!

Why Some Are STRUGGLING In Their Walk with CHRIST! 😓
Glory be to God! Welcome everyone to Episode #887, Season 10. ** 🙋🏾‍♀️ STAY TUNED UNTIL THE VERY END OF THIS EPISODE! ** 🚩TUNE IN EVERY 2 TO 3 DAYS FOR NEW EPISODES! Follow me on YouTube: @repentbelieve8094 . you can also email me at: BACKTOGODMINISTRIES1968@GMAIL.COM. 💥 Join me today on the podcast as I exhort: You've been brought near by the blood of Christ. And I'm here to encourage someone who finds themselves struggling in the "walk:" You must no longer set your mind on the things of the flesh to indulge in activities that do not please God. People struggle mainly because they have not submitted themselves fully over to God. James 4:7 gives us the "recipe" - "submit therefore yourselves to God, resist the devil and he shall flee." That's Bible. Now we do know struggles comes to test our faith. Struggles comes to teach us to lean and depend on God even more. Struggles also comes as discipline from God. You will become frustrated in these struggles. But if you come with clean hands and a clear conscious, you will be able to discern what this struggle is all about. Today, we are looking at those who are, in fact, struggling because they refuse to repent and turn from sin. We got to understand in Christ, no longer are we filthy, wretched, unclean heathens! While we are in the world, we are going to struggle with the desires of the flesh. But as we’re walking in the Spirit, we’re no longer under the tyranny of the desires of our flesh (Galatians 5:16). "But I say, walk habitually in the [Holy] Spirit [seek Him and be responsive to His guidance], and then you will certainly not carry out the desire of the sinful nature [which responds impulsively without regard for God and His precepts]." Our spiritual life is about growing in our dependence upon the Spirit - our source of power for godly living rather than being downtrodden and burdened by sin - for, alas, you will always struggle in your walk with Christ when sin abounds! Amen! 🎯 REPENT and BELIEVE and TURN back to God!

A Word from the Lord - April 16th 2025 @ 6:02 pm (CST)
Thus saith the Lord: Tell My people to remain steadfast and never waver in faith. For a time is coming when I will rule from My Throne; mine will be a never-ending Kingdom far above all rule and reign. Those who have been called by My Name shall see Me and worship Me. It is to them the Kingdom has been given. It is to them the mystery of the Kingdom has been given. Tell My people to always trust in Me and never waver. Soon there will be a point of no return. The wicked shall be punished and the righteous saved. Keep your garments clean. Wash your robes in the blood of the Lamb for I, Jesus, am coming soon and My reward shall be with Me to give to every man according to their deeds. There will be a portion given to all. Stand firm until the end and I shall raise you up on the last day. It shall be so: that the day when the dead in Christ will rise first and those who remain alive will follow. Tell My people to be ready and not be sleeping when the bridegroom returns for His Bride. Those who mock My delay will perish, they have not come to the cross. They are destined for wrath. Tell them daughter to come when the Father calls! For the hour is short and the day is near. Many will perish and few will be saved. No more time for weakness and sorrow. Strengthen in your inner man and be ready when I smite the earth. The earth will melt at My voice. The mountains will quake and the sea will flee. My wrath will come on the disobedient and My mercy will come on the righteous For My glory, the righteous shall be saved. The full strength of My power will be displayed for the world to see. None will escape the Judgment of God! None! They will all perish! The wheat will be separated from the chaff and the chaff will burn up! My pitchfork is ready and My arm is mighty. My destruction will be complete. The earth will be no more. On the day I return, no one will be able to escape, although, they try in vain, none will escape daughter. Tell My people to wait and be ready - for the hour is upon the earth. For I Jesus has spoken, thus saith the Lord. Amen! May it be Lord as according to Thy Word!

Is It Your DESIRE To LIVE FOR JESUS??? 🤔🤷🏾‍♀️
Glory be to God! Welcome everyone to Episode #885, Season 10. ** 🙋🏾‍♀️ STAY TUNED UNTIL THE VERY END OF THIS EPISODE! ** 🚩TUNE IN EVERY 2 TO 3 DAYS FOR NEW EPISODES! Follow me on YouTube: @repentbelieve8094 . you can also email me at: BACKTOGODMINISTRIES1968@GMAIL.COM. 💥 Join me today on the podcast as I exhort: "But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ" (Ephesians 2:13). "Among these we as well as you once lived and conducted ourselves in the passions of our flesh [our behavior governed by our corrupt and sensual nature], obeying the impulses of the flesh and the thoughts of the mind [our cravings dictated by our senses and our dark imaginings]. We were then by nature children of [God’s] wrath and heirs of [His] indignation, like the rest of mankind" Ephesians 2:3 (AMPC). Not knowing from whence you've come (spiritually dead in trespasses and sins), you won't even begin to ponder and appreciate God's mercy which was bestowed upon you! By His Divine will, the Living Sovereign God has brought us out of darkness into the marvelous light, rescued us from the kingdom of Satan and transferred us to the Kingdom of His Dear Son! The sheer magnificence of His grace and mercy, ignites a desire that He puts in the regenerative spirit to want to live a faithful, loyal, life in Christ! Are you onboard with that? God's amazing grace and mercy will be on display in the ages to come to demonstrate His great power, compassion and undeserved favor on a people that were not looking for Him! Let's exalt Him today and live lives that are appreciative of the mercy that has been granted to us from on high!! Amen! 🎯 REPENT and BELIEVE and TURN back to God!

8 Signs And Marks Of Being CHOSEN By God!!
Glory be to God! Welcome everyone to Episode #884, Season 10. ** 🙋🏾‍♀️ STAY TUNED UNTIL THE VERY END OF THIS EPISODE! ** 🚩TUNE IN EVERY 2 TO 3 DAYS FOR NEW EPISODES! Follow me on YouTube: @repentbelieve8094 . you can also email me at: BACKTOGODMINISTRIES1968@GMAIL.COM. 💥 Join me today on the podcast as I exhort: Being chosen by God is a profound honor and privilege; being chosen is NOT about personal merit but about God's sovereign grace and purpose. God's CHOSEN PEOPLE live a life of Holiness (being set apart from the world unto God), righteousness (living a life that is pleasing to the Lord in view of his Mercy), and faithfulness (demonstrating loyalty and steadfastness while trusting and relying on Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior). We will be looking at eight signs and marks when you are chosen by God for His good purposes and pleasure. John 6:44 cements the DIVINE truth when Jesus said that no one can come to Him UNLESS he is drawn by God the Father. It is God who does the wooing and the beckoning of the elect - not Man's Free Will! Also, we will be chopping down the mountain of unbelief and contention when it comes to God's plan of salvation. The debate rages on whether or not Man's Free Will has a hand in his "coming to the Lord" or was it already predetermined / ordained before the foundation of the world due to God's purpose and plan. The primary argument against Ephesians 1:5, which states God "predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ," revolves around the idea of whether God's choice is based on individual merit or is an unconditional and sovereign decision. Ephesians 1:5 will always be the point of contention for both sides. However, there should be there no contention over Predestination vs. Free Will! GOD IS SOVEREIGN AND HE HAS THE RIGHT AS ULTIMATE SUPREME CREATOR TO SHOW COMPASSION & MERCY ON ANYONE HE CHOOSES, AND HE HAS THE COMPLETE SOVEREIGNTY TO CHOOSE TO WHOM HE HARDENS! HIS SOVEREIGNTY SHOULD NOT EVEN BE ON TRIAL! Man's Free Will should have never been interjected and exerted in this regard! Man, in his unregenerated spirit and heart, will always contend the unfairness in God's predestination of the elect! Paul addressed this debate centuries ago in Romans 9 : 14 "What shall we say then? Is there injustice with God? Certainly not! 15 For He says to Moses,👉🏾 “I will have mercy on whomever I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I have compassion.” 16 So then God’s choice is 👉🏾not dependent on human will, nor on human effort [the totality of human striving], but 👉🏾on God who shows mercy [to whomever He chooses—it is His sovereign gift]. 17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, “I raised you up for this very purpose,👉🏾 to display My power in [dealing with] you, and so that My name would be proclaimed in all the earth.” 18 So then, He has mercy on 👉🏾whom He wills (chooses), and He hardens [the heart of] 👉🏾whom He wills. 19 You will say to me then, “Why does He still blame me [for sinning]?🤦🏾‍♀️ For who [including myself] has [ever] resisted His will and purpose?” 20 On the contrary, who are you, O man, who answers [arrogantly] back 😤 to God and dares to defy Him? Will the thing which is formed say to him who formed it, “Why have you made me like this?” 21 Does the potter not have the right over the clay, to make from the same lump [of clay] one object for honorable use [something beautiful or distinctive] and another for common use [something ordinary or menial]? 22 What if God, 🤔 although willing to show His [terrible] wrath and to make His power known, has tolerated with great patience the objects of His wrath [which are] prepared for destruction? 23 And what if 🤔He has done so to make known the riches of His glory to the objects of His mercy, which He has prepared beforehand for glory 24 including us, whom He also called, not only from among the Jews, but also from among the Gentiles?" Amen! 🎯 REPENT and BELIEVE and TURN back to God!

(PT. 2) Is God being UNFAIR 🤔 When He Shows MERCY to SOME and NOT to Others??? 😠
Glory be to God! Welcome everyone to Episode #883, Season 10. ** 🙋🏾‍♀️ STAY TUNED UNTIL THE VERY END OF THIS EPISODE! ** 🚩TUNE IN EVERY 2 TO 3 DAYS FOR NEW EPISODES! Follow me on YouTube: @repentbelieve8094 . you can also email me at: BACKTOGODMINISTRIES1968@GMAIL.COM. 💥 Join me today on the podcast as I exhort: No one is saved without the election and predestination of God. If there were no election and predestination, the entire human race would be eternally lost. The only reason a rebellious sinner ever comes to faith in Christ is that God has chosen to win him over instead of allowing him to continue down the path to destruction. God is in charge. “Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb” (Revelation 7:10). If you haven't already listened to part 1, please pause and click on part 1 so that you can be brought up to speed that God is sovereign and it is His will to show compassion and mercy on whomever He chooses! 💥THIS IS NOT CALVINISM / REFORM!!!💥 THIS IS BIBLE!!! Many people, the first time they encounter the doctrine of election, are upset by what seems to them to be a horribly unfair arrangement. Unfortunately, that is where many people end the discussion. A proper biblical view of election, however, leads to the conclusion that God’s choice in predestination is an incredibly loving act. Some may charge that God’s plan is simply unfair—some are chosen to be saved while others are passed over and have no chance. This objection often assumes a faulty picture of salvation, one in which people are lining up to be saved, pleading with God to save them, but He says, “No, I have not chosen you. Your name’s not on the list, so I reject you.” But that’s not what happens. The reality is that everyone is given a choice to obey God, and everyone, great and small, chooses to sin. Scripture reveals that, in His grace, God has chosen to save some in spite of their rebellion. He works in their hearts and wins them over. The others, God simply allows to continue in the ways they have freely chosen and desire to continue in. Those who reject Christ do so freely. Those who receive Christ also do so freely, BUT only because God has worked in their hearts to win them over so that they now want to receive Him. God is perfectly free; He is obligated to save no one, and the fact that He saves some shows that He is loving. "To the saints (God’s people) who are at Ephesus and are faithful and loyal and steadfast in Christ Jesus." Ephesians 1:1(b) Amen! 🎯 REPENT and BELIEVE and TURN back to God!

(PT. 1) Is God being UNFAIR 🤔 When He Shows MERCY to SOME and NOT to Others??? 😠
Glory be to God! Welcome everyone to Episode #882, Season 10. ** 🙋🏾‍♀️ STAY TUNED UNTIL THE VERY END OF THIS EPISODE! ** 🚩TUNE IN EVERY 2 TO 3 DAYS FOR NEW EPISODES! Follow me on YouTube: @repentbelieve8094 . You can also email me at: BACKTOGODMINISTRIES1968@GMAIL.COM. 💥 Join me today on the podcast as I exhort: God is Sovereign! Who are we, mere mortals/the clay, to question how He (the Potter) handles His plan of salvation, especially to whom He chooses to shows mercy and compassion to? Romans chapter 9 will be an eye- opener for us! Lord Jesus made a very simple statement in John 6:44, "No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up on the last day." IT IS NOT POSSIBLE OF ONE'S FREE WILL TO JUST COME TO JESUS. THEY MUST BE DRAWN BY THE FATHER! IT IS TO THE FATHER'S GLORY THAT WE COME WHEN HE CALLS! We must understand, Predestination /Election is part of God’s decree, His eternal purpose in which He has decided all that will take place, ordaining everything for the manifestation of His glory from the foundation of the world. Simply put, the doctrine of election is that God chooses/determines / elects / predestines who will be saved. Many don't want to touch this topic because its debate has caused division and strife among believers and caused churches to split. For the most part, many don't want to be labeled as "Calvinists." Therefore, people might conclude that it is a doctrine best avoided. While there are numerous ideas of precisely what election means regarding salvation, the fact that believers are elect is indisputable!!! The debate rages on! Let's get some biblical understanding: The idea of a person WANTING to be saved, but being unable to - due to not being one of the elect, is ABSOLUTELY foreign to the Bible. LET US ALL BE CLEAR: No one seeks after God’s plan of salvation on his own accord (Romans 3:10-18) - FREE WILL HAS NO PLACE IN THIS. Those without Christ are blind to their need for salvation (2 Corinthians 4:4). This only changes when God begins drawing a person to Himself. It is God who opens eyes and enlightens minds to the need for Jesus Christ as Savior. A person CANNOT repent (change the mind about sin and the need for salvation) UNLESS God grants repentance (Acts 11:18). Therefore, if you understand God’s plan of salvation, recognize your need for it, and receive Jesus Christ as your Savior by faith, you can be saved. If you are struggling with the doctrine of predestination and election unto salvation, study these Scriptures: (Matt. 22:14; 24:22, 24, 31; Mark 4:11–12; Luke 10:21–22; 18:7; John 15:16, 19; Acts 4:28; 13:48; Rom. 8:29–30, Rom. 8:33; Rom. 9:6–23; Rom. 11:5, Rom. 11:7, Rom. 11:28; Rom. 16:13; 1 Cor. 1:27–28; Gal. 1:15; Eph. 1:4–5; Col. 3:12; 1 Thess. 1:4; 2 Thess. 2:13; 2 Tim. 2:10; Titus 1:1; James 2:5; 1 Pet. 1:2; 2:9; 2 Pet. 1:10; 2 John 1, 13; Rev. 17:14).

Be Ready to Meet the KING OF GLORY! 👑 (A WORD FROM THE LORD)
Thus saith the Lord: The people of the earth have no clue the hour in which they are living. They have absolutely no clue that judgment is nigh. As it were in the days of Noah, so shall it be when the Son of Man will be revealed. Harsh and difficult times are ahead and My chosen must be warned to remain faithful unto Me. Times of uncertainty is coming and many will fall away from the faith, as they are already doing. Many have heard the call, but many have not come. The hour draws near my daughter, that those sleeping in the grave will hear a shout and the dead will rise, some unto everlasting life and some to eternal destruction. Tell My people to remain faithful and obedient. Stay away from teachings that are not mine. My truth transforms and the elect heed to My teachings. There are many more that will come into the sheepfold and they must be woken up and heed the call: COME! COME! All who thirst, COME! The time of My return draws nearer with every passing day. The wicked will not go unpunished and the righteous shall live forever, death cannot hold them in the grave. They will rise to new life on the Day I return. I bring eternal life with Me. Those who have remained faithful until the end, will receive eternal life. My people hear My voice and they listen not as the world listens, but listens with changed hearts and renewed minds. Their chains have been broken and they are to wait a little while longer until all their brothers and sisters have come in. Tell My people to remain strong, vigilant, and diligent in the things of God, turn from sin, and live transformed lives by My Holy Spirit. For I, Jesus, am coming soon and My reward will be with Me! Amen! Thank you Lord for this word! May it be as according to Thy word. Praise Jesus! Praise the living true God who speaks to His servants! Glory be to God! Forever amen! ----- Wednesday, March 5th, 2025 at 7:57 p.m. CST
