Cleanse Me From Secret Faults

Cleanse Me From Secret Faults

Psa 19:12

Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.

Psa 51:2  Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

Jer 33:8  And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, whereby they have sinned against me; and I will pardon all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned, and whereby they have transgressed against me.

A defect or imperfection; flaw; failing: a fault in one's character.

I. A fault is something that I have done. It was my fault. A secret fault is something that I have done and I am ashamed of it and keep it hidden. The Lord knows it’s there. He wants to cleanse me and make me whole. A secret fault is a flaw in a person’s character. Usually these flaws or faults do not reveal themselves unless they are touched upon. In other words they are triggered by a word or a deed. They are not an action they are usually a reaction to what someone has said or done. This fault must be brought to the Light. Once the fault is revealed it must be admitted to and confessed so it can be cleansed. Secret faults may often times be something that is so buried beneath the surface that it’s very painful to want to deal with it. It will take Gods love to deal with it. Because of the shame we don’t want to admit it’s there but when the Lord shows us that he does not condemn us for it we are more willing to let Him help us. Jesus does not want to hurt us He wants to help us. Love covers a multitude of sin. Also another reason Christians don’t want to deal with secret faults is because we know that we hurt the Lord when we did it. This requires receiving the Lords forgiveness.  Remember the Lord hurts when we hurt and the Lord hurts when we have hurt someone else. So the wrongful act that we committed is against the Lord. This is one of the most painful parts of the cleansing process. We hurt the Lord. We did not just hurt just anyone we hurt our loving Father. He loves everyone! The Lord does not take sides. This is one of the most important parts of the healing process due to the fact that when there is a fault we are usually not quick to admit it was our fault so we are looking for someone to agree with us that we were justified for what we did. However the Lord does not take sides and commands everyone to repent and forgive.

Antonym – Without blame or blameless, guiltless, innocent

Judges 1:24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,

Following For The Fishes And Loaves

Just as the multitudes followed Jesus for only the monetary gain (fishes and loaves) so today they are still following only for the same reason. This article is not to offend however I am certain it will offend many, it's not my intention to offend deliberately. Let's face it though the majority do not want to hear the Truth today. They followed Jesus for the miracles of healing and deliverance from sicknesses but they did not want to hear about how they could be free from sin. Sin is the problem in the world today and Jesus is the answer.

Sin is the destroying force that very few want to talk about. Some will talk about religion however only on a nonchalant level. But to talk about being free from the cancer of sin is the furthest thing from their minds. It is my objective to get the reader to THINK. I am not interested in giving people an emotional feeling so they can feel good about themselves, it's my objective to stop the reader in their tracks if at possible and get them to really to THINK! If Jesus were on the earth today and He was working miracles, would you follow for the miracles or would you follow because you wanted to know Him?

Even the majority of the Church (world) today does not have a living experience of knowing Jesus Christ. They have a form of religion but that about as far as they will go. Jesus did not say the religious would go to heaven, He said the born again would. Joh 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. He said many would say unto Him on that day Lord, Lord. Mat 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? Jesus said, Many not few would call him Lord but did they know Him? Apparently not. Jesus said, I NEVER KNEW YOU.

They offered him lip service but their hearts were far from Him. Even Judas offered Jesus lip service. Judas kissed Jesus to give the Roman soldiers a sign who Jesus was, so they could arrest him. You see lip service will ultimately end in betrayal of the Son of God.

Life is more than about just money is it not? If money is the focus of our happiness then that's only temporal and will leave us when money is not there. What is true happiness? I leave you with this question to ponder. Are you truly happy? If so, why? Again, are you truly happy? Allow the light of the His word to work in your hearts. Let the light of this article come into your heart and expose your true motives. Remember it's the Truth that makes you free!

Almost Persuaded But Deceived By Virtual Reality

Join me as we do a drill down of several words to get a proper understanding of the meaning behind the words Virtual Reality.

We read in the Scripture about a certain king in the Scripture, his name Agrippa. On one occasion he said unto the Apostle Paul, "Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian." Like king Agrippa, their are many in the valley of decision. In fact the Scripture says, "multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision." You might have found the title to this article interesting, and with good reason. When I looked up this word "Virtual" I found that it was a Greek word meaning "ALMOST". Virtual (Latin virtus; Greek ἀρετή "arete") is moral excellence. A virtue is a trait or quality deemed to be morally excellent and thus is valued as a foundation of principle and good moral being. Now lets look at the word "almost". The word "Almost" means In set theory, when dealing with sets of infinite size, the term almost or nearly is used to mean all the elements except for finitely many.

In other words, an infinite set S that is a subset of another infinite set L, is almost L if the subtracted set L\S is of finite size. Now lets look at the word "theory." To do this we will have to look at the contrast for the word "FACTS". But before we do that we will need to understand what a fact is. The word fact can refer to verified information about past or present circumstances or events which are presented as objective reality. In science, it means a provable concept. What this is saying is that a theory is not a fact it's "ALMOST" factual but it's not. In other words it misses the mark. A fact can be proven, but a theory cannot be. It's always evolving and changing. Remember what Jesus said, I am the same today, yesterday and forever." God says "I change not." So what man basis his reality on is aways changing and evolving. No certain destination. How would you like to go on a trip or vacation and the pilot speaks up over the intercom and says, we will be landing NEVER? This is basically what man is doing. Ever since Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden, man has been a vagabond with no certain destination. Remember at the beginning of this article I said Virtual meant to miss the mark? Did you know that the word Hamartiology (Greek: ἁμαρτία, hamartia, "missing the mark," "sin," + -λογια, -logia, "sayings" or "discourse") is the branch of Christian theology, more specifically, systematic theology, which is the study of sin with a view to articulating a doctrine of it. So in conclusion everyone that is living in virtual reality is living in sin. The wages of payment for sin is DEATH. Pay day is coming! The Lord says "I set before you Life and Death, choose LIFE!

Philanthropy Addicted To Giving: But Is it enough?

There seems to be a new trend in these days among the wealthy of this world. They have everything they ever wanted but they are still not content. They turn to philanthropy and even become addicted to this wonderful privilege, however is it enough? They are known to be the greatest charity givers but is it enough? Jesus said, Mar 8:36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Jesus was the greatest of all philanthropists.

Take a look at this Scripture. Act 10:38  "How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him."

The word good in this passage of Scripture is the word "philanthropy".


yoo-erg-et-eh'-o
From G2110; to be philanthropic: - do good.

Question:  How was Jesus the greatest of all philanthropists? Obviously it was not by giving money. Though the harlot TV evangelists want to say Jesus was rich, this cannot be backed up by the Scripture. So how was Jesus the greatest of all philanthropists? The answer is, it's not about giving money, it's about giving and going about doing good. The word good also means honest. So a true philanthropist is also honest. Honest means truthful and transparent. Last but not least, if we are giving to be noticed or to be seen it's not honest giving. To be a true philanthropist we must be like Jesus Christ.

Google Goes Down And Causes Global Panic?

Google goes down and causes a Global panic???? This is so sad. What would happen if the Internet went down? I believe that if this was to happen it would cause a Global depression and without question seriously effect the Global economy. I think if the Internet went down it would be a blessing!!!! People would be able to get back to reality again. At least to some degree. The internet has done so much damage to the Church that it seems it's been almost a curse. I think it's time to leave our Internet s behind and follow Jesus. I am willing! Are you? I would like to hear your comments on this.

Inspiration From The Lord

Words of Wisdom

By Joseph B. Skinner

Prayer:

It is the strong arm that leads to war, but they that depend on God will pray.

A man finds strength in numbers but the man that puts his trust in God will pray.

Prayer is not a duty it’s a divine right and privilege to any real child of God.

Prayer changes the hearts of men but idle talk only makes matters the worse.

Prayer will cost you something but talk is cheap.

Prayer is the strength of any nation. As long as this prayer is made to the God which created the heavens and the earth.

Talk to a man about his own problem and he might let you. Pray for him and he will become your friend and most loyal critic.

Man has many gods but there is only one that created the Heavens and the Earth.

Strife is never a solution or a means to an end; it will never come to an agreement were both parties are content.

Strife is in the hearts of those that have selfish ambitions but life will flow from the hearts of those that are surrendered to the true ideal.

He that is in want is never satisfied, therefore become a cheerful giver.

He that careth not for his own soul will not care for his neighbors’ either.

He that is lazy lacks desire.

Procrastination is nothing than a lack of desire.

A man with desire will not quit until the job is done.

Man cannot put desire into the heart but God can.

A man without desire is as the chaff before the wind.

The True Prophet of God:

Unfortunately the true Prophet of God is not called on until men have well drunk. Then when they are in want, they will begin to accuse that the best wine was laid up to last.

The true prophet of God is a lonely one but though all forsake him he is not alone.

All men will hate the true prophet of God, but he is beloved in Heaven.

The true prophet of God does not seek to please men his calling is a higher one.

Give men a prize worth fighting for and they will cross the finish line.

Inspiration from God will flow as a pure river but inspiration from any other will be mixture at best.

The Hungry Soul:

The want of a hungry soul will cause him to eat anything but he that careth for his soul will wait until it’s time to eat.

There are many restaurants however there is only one table that can satisfy the soul of man.

As they lusted in the wilderness and God gave them their desire so the Lord has filled the earth will books.

The Bible The Book of Books:

There is only one Book that has all the answers.

The Bible is not just another book it’s the book of all books.

Give a child an education and he will gain knowledge but teach a child the Bible and he will grow in knowledge and wisdom.

Knowledge without wisdom is only knowledge but wisdom is the key to applying knowledge.

Books written about the Bible are just more books but books inspired by the Bible will bring the reader back to the source of the books inspiration.

Inspiration:

Man can never be the source of inspiration, he can only be inspired.

Inspiration only comes from two sources God and the Devil therefore be watchful.

Black and white can be distinguished however the mixture of the two is the making of a storm.

The Eagle:

The eagle knows when the storm is approaching however man does not believe.

The eagle learns how to soar but man continues to flap his wings.

God desires to make his people eagles however they think they are chickens.

Gods Love:

If Gods people could love another the world would be a better place.

If Gods people made love their top priority the world would have been converted already.

If love is the fulfilling of the Law why do Gods people continue to fall short of it?

If Gods love is the greatest why do Gods people spend so little time with it?

Entering His Rest

Heb 4:1  Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.

Most  of Gods people believe entering into Gods REST requires putting forth some effort on our part. In this teaching we will prove by the Scripture that our EFFORTS will end in FAILURE! In fact any effort on our part at all will only bring MIXTURE and the end result will be to miss the mark. Entering Gods REST is a miracle of God and can only be performed by Him alone! Your part is to BELIEVE His Word!

ef·fort/ˈefərt/Noun

1. A vigorous or determined attempt.

 

Did you notice the word "Attempt" ?

 

Now lets look at the word "Attempt".

at·tempt/əˈtem(p)t/

Noun: An act of trying to achieve something, typically one that is unsuccessful or not certain to succeed: "an attempt to halt the bombings".

Verb: Make an effort to achieve or complete (something, typically a difficult task or action): 

You see! An attempt means to be (UNSUCCESSFUL). YOU CANNOT DO IT!!! SO STOP TRYING! ARE YOU ONE OF THOSE THAT IS ALWAYS SAYING " I'M TRYING MY BEST?" YOUR BEST WILL ALWAYS END IN FAILURE!

So how do we enter into His rest if our effort cannot get us there?

The answer is in the Word of God.

Heb 4:10  For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.

Heb 4:11  Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.

 

DESIRE

 

The word (Labor) comes from a Greek word meaning to (DESIRE).

 

So to enter Gods rest we must first Desire it.

 

DEAD TO SELF

 

The key to entering into Gods rest is to "cease from our own works or effort or attempts! The word cease means to STOP! STOP! STOP! Let's go a little further shall we. Go beyond STOP and learn to be DEAD to self. This is how we enter His rest!

Oh by the way if your like some that try to say that Faith without WORKS is dead, Let me let you in on a secret. The word WORKS is to BELIEVE! Remember what Jesus said?

John 6:28  Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?

John 6:29  Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent. 

Now this Scripture should make more sense to you!

 

Heb 4:2  For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.

Heb 4:3  For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

You SEE! We enter His rest as we BELIEVE ! ! ! Faith brings us into this REST! It's only when we believe that we can SEE or UNDERSTAND or COMPREHEND the TRUTH THAT MAKES US FREE! Faith mixed with His Word opens the DOOR (Jesus is the Door)  to this REST!

If this teaching as been a blessing to you, please leave us a comment and let us know!

The Arm of God

His hand is not to short that it cannot save

He upholds with the right hand of His righteousness

Peter said, Lord save me and immediately Jesus stretched forth His hand and caught him.

God has a long arm. His arm is always long enough to reach anyone. His hand is open to save.

Isa 59:1  Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:

Psa 37:17  For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous.

Psa 37:24  Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.

Sometimes we can feel like we are falling into hell however The Lord can save us.

Jesus Saves

Mat 14:31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?

Peter knew he was going down. Peter did not wait until he was drowning to cry for help instead he cried as soon as he realized he was going down. I like that! Notice what the Scripture says, "Jesus caught him" How did Jesus catch him if he was already drowning? You see Jesus reached out and grabbed Peter BEFORE He went down! BEFORE he sunk down! BEFORE! Jesus is so FAITHFUL! Like Peter we need more believers today that will cry out to the Lord as soon as they realize they are falling or slipping for that matter. There was no hesitation or space of time. As soon as Peter said, "Lord save me!" The Lord stretched forth His hand and caught Peter. Peter started going down in defeat but when he called on Jesus to save him Jesus raised Peter up from the raging storm and THEY walked together on the storm back to the boat in victory! All Peter had to cry is Lord save me! We don't know for sure weather Peter said, "Lord save me!" in faith or in fear what we do know is that Jesus heard Peters cry and saved him. The Lord is merciful and even hears us when we cry in fear. Our God is compassionate however He wants us to grow in faith so we can always trust in Him no matter what. Remember Jesus said to Peter Oh ye of little faith; why did you doubt?

We see David crying out to the Lord as well. David said, I waited patiently upon the Lord and He heard my cry and lifted me up and out of a horrible pit. The horrible pit of SIN and SELF.

(Psa 37:17) For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous.

(Psa 37:24) Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.

(Psa 63:8) My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.

(Psa 145:14) The LORD upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all those that be bowed down.

Rejecting Salvation

Isa 52:10 The LORD hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.

Jer 17:5 Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.

Luk 1:51 He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
