Captivity is Captive

He that  Sins is of the Devil;
For the Devil Sins from the Beginning.
The Son of God was Manifested,
To destroy the works of the Devil.


When You ascended up on high,
You led captivity captive,
And gave gifts to men.
Thank You Lord
Author and finisher of our faith
Halleluyah

The thief comes to steal,
To kill, and to destroy
You come that we might live,
And live forever more

​You blotted out the handwriting of ordinances
That was against us, contrary to us
You took it out of the way, nailing it to the cross
Destroying the work of the devil


​You spoiled principalities and powers,
Made a show of them openly,
Triumphing over them at the cross
Destroying the work of the devil

SONG 1: KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS


GREETINGS

Below  is one of two songs I have composed. I have not sang it though, not sure I can even sing. Sing it if you can. its up and free. Regards

S. Kamau

01.  

To love Me is to keep My commandments

By this we know that we have come to know You
If we keep Your commandments, Jesus
For this is Your Love: that we keep Your commandments
And Your commandments do not weigh us down

Do you love Him?
If you love Him
Keep His commandments.
Keep His commandments
Keep His Day Holy
The Lord’s Day. Keep Holy
Holy, Holy, Halleluyah

He that has His commandments, and keeps them,
He is that loves Him
He that loves Him shall be loved of The Father
Jesus will love him, and will manifest Himself to him


If anyone loves him, he obeys his Word
The Father will love him
The Father and Jesus will come to him
And take up residence with him

If you obey His commandments
You will remain in His love
Just as He have obeyed The Father’s commandments
And remain in His Love

Now this is love, that we walk by to His commandments.
This is the commandment from the beginning, so walk in it.
Now by this we know that we have come to know God:
If we keep His commandments.

SURELY THE BRIDEGROOM IS AT THE DOOR 4 of 6


Part 4 of 6
SURELY THE BRIDEGROOM IS AT THE DOOR
The rapture is not just safety for the true church but also judgment to the remaining world

9. ARE YOU A CHILD OF GOD OR A CHILD OF THE DEVIL

The bible teaches that there are children of God and children of the devil:

John 8:39 They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.

John 8:44 Ye are of [your] father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
1John 3:10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.

John 8:47 He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear [them] not, because ye are not of God.

John 10:26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

John 10:14 I am the good shepherd, and know my [sheep], and am known of mine.

2Tim 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

John 10:26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.

John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

2Tim 2:11 [It is] a faithful saying: For if we be dead with [him], we shall also live with [him]:12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with [him]: if we deny [him], he also will deny us:13 If we believe not, [yet] he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.

Matt 13:38  The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked [one]….. Matt 13:40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
Luke 6:35 [NET] But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to ungrateful and evil people.
Rom 8:16 The Spirit himself bears witness to our spirit that we are God’s children.17 And if children, then heirs (namely, heirs of God and also fellow heirs with Christ) – if indeed we suffer with him so we may also be glorified with him.
1John 5:2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
Matt 5:9 Blessed [are] the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
Matt 5:44 But I say unto you, 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;45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

10. REQUIRED: Keep The Sabbath /THE LORDS DAY holy
1Cor 16:2[NET] On the first day of the week, each of you should set aside some income and save it to the extent that God has blessed you, so that a collection will not have to be made when I come.
Acts 20:7[NET] On the first day of the week, when we met to break bread, Paul began to speak to the people, and because he intended to leave the next day, he extended his message until midnight.
Neh 10:31[KJV] And [if] the people of the land bring ware or any victuals on the sabbath day to sell, [that] we would not buy it of them on the sabbath, or on the holy day: and [that] we would leave the seventh year, and the exaction of every debt.

Exod 20:8 [KJV] Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 10 But the seventh day [is] the sabbath of the LORD thy God: [in it] thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that [is] within thy gates: 11 For [in] six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them [is], and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

Lev 25:2 [KJV] Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath unto the LORD. 34 Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths, as long as it lieth desolate, and ye [be] in your enemies' land; [even] then shall the land rest, and enjoy her sabbaths.

Exod 34:21[KJV] Six days thou shalt work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest: in earing time and in harvest thou shalt rest.

Isa 58:13[NET]  ​​​​​​​You must observe the Sabbath ​​​​​​rather than doing anything you please on my holy day. ​​​​​​You must look forward to the Sabbath ​​​​​​and treat the LORD’s holy day with respect. ​​​​​​You must treat it with respect by refraining from your normal activities, ​​​​​​and by refraining from your selfish pursuits and from making business deals. 14 ​​​​​​Then you will find joy in your relationship to the LORD, ​​​​​​and I will give you great prosperity, ​​​​​​and cause crops to grow on the land I gave to your ancestor Jacob.” ​​​​​​Know for certain that the LORD has spoken.

Jer 17:27[NET]  But you must obey me and set the Sabbath day apart to me. You must not carry any loads in through the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day. If you disobey, I will set the gates of Jerusalem on fire. It will burn down all the fortified dwellings in Jerusalem and no one will be able to put it out.’”

Lev 23:39 [KJV] Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep a feast unto the LORD seven days: on the first day [shall be] a sabbath, and on the eighth day [shall be] a sabbath.

IT’S LAWFUL TO DO WELL ON THE SABATH DAY

Matt 12:11 He said to them, “Would not any one of you, if he had one sheep that fell into a pit on the Sabbath, take hold of it and lift it out? 12 How much more valuable is a person than a sheep! So it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.”

John 9:14 [NET] (Now the day on which Jesus made the mud and caused him to see was a Sabbath.)

Mark 2:27 [NET] Then he said to them, “The Sabbath was made for people, not people for the Sabbath. 28  For this reason the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath.”

Neh 13:19 [KJV]And it came to pass, that when the gates of Jerusalem began to be dark before the sabbath, I commanded that the gates should be shut, and charged that they should not be opened till after the sabbath: and [some] of my servants set I at the gates, [that] there should no burden be brought in on the sabbath day. 20 So the merchants and sellers of all kind of ware lodged without Jerusalem once or twice. 21 Then I testified against them, and said unto them, Why lodge ye about the wall? if ye do [so] again, I will lay hands on you. From that time forth came they no [more] on the sabbath. 22 And I commanded the Levites that they should cleanse themselves, and [that] they should come [and] keep the gates, to sanctify the sabbath day. Remember me, O my God, [concerning] this also, and spare me according to the greatness of thy mercy.

Luke 23:50 [NET] Now there was a man named Joseph who was a member of the council, a good and righteous man. 51 (He had not consented to their plan and action.) He was from the Judean town of Arimathea, and was looking forward to the kingdom of God. 52 He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. 53 Then he took it down, wrapped it in a linen cloth, and placed it in a tomb cut out of the rock, where no one had yet been buried. 54 It was the day of preparation and the Sabbath was beginning. 55 The women who had accompanied Jesus from Galilee followed, and they saw the tomb and how his body was laid in it. 56 Then they returned and prepared aromatic spices and perfumes. On the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment. Luke 24:1 Now on the first day of the week, at early dawn, the women went to the tomb, taking the aromatic spices they had prepared. 2 They found that the stone had been rolled away from the tomb,3 but when they went in, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.


             11. REQUIRED: PAY YOUR TITHES (10% OF ANY AND ALL YOUR EARNINGS) AND OFFERINGS- thieves shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
Luke 11:42 [KJV] But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
Heb 7:8  [NET] and in one case tithes are received by mortal men, while in the other by him who is affirmed to be alive.
Lev 27:30 [NET] “‘Any tithe of the land, from the grain of the land or from the fruit of the trees, belongs to the LORD; it is holy to the LORD. 31 If a man redeems part of his tithe, however, he must add one fifth to it. 32 And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, [even] of whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the LORD.

Num 18:21 [KJV]And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, [even] the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.

Num 18:26 [KJV]Thus speak unto the Levites, and say unto them, When ye take of the children of Israel the tithes which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer up an heave offering of it for the LORD, [even] a tenth [part] of the tithe.
Neh 10:38 [NET]A priest of Aaron’s line will be with the Levites when the Levites collect the tithes, and the Levites will bring up a tenth of the tithes to the temple of our God, to the storerooms of the treasury.

- thus pastors are not exempted from tithing.
Deut 14:22 [NET]You must be certain to tithe all the produce of your seed that comes from the field year after year.23 In the presence of the LORD your God you must eat from the tithe of your grain, your new wine, your olive oil, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks in the place he chooses to locate his name, so that you may learn to revere the LORD your God always. 24 When he blesses you, if the place where he chooses to locate his name is distant, 25 you may convert the tithe into money, secure the money, and travel to the place the LORD your God chooses for himself. 26 Then you may spend the money however you wish for cattle, sheep, wine, beer, or whatever you desire. You and your household may eat there in the presence of the LORD your God and enjoy it. 27 As for the Levites in your villages, you must not ignore them, for they have no allotment or inheritance along with you. 28 At the end of every three years you must bring all the tithe of your produce, in that very year, and you must store it up in your villages. 29 Then the Levites (because they have no allotment or inheritance with you), the resident foreigners, the orphans, and the widows of your villages may come and eat their fill so that the LORD your God may bless you in all the work you do.

Neh 13:12[NET] Then all of Judah brought the tithe of the grain, the new wine, and the olive oil to the storerooms.
Mal 3:8  [NET]Can a person rob God? You indeed are robbing me, but you say, ‘How are we robbing you?’ In tithes and contributions! 9 You are bound for judgment because you are robbing me – this whole nation is guilty. 10 “Bring the entire tithe into the storehouse so that there may be food in my temple. Test me in this matter,” says the LORD who rules over all, “to see if I will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you a blessing until there is no room for it all. 11 Then I will stop the plague from ruining your crops, and the vine will not lose its fruit before harvest,” says the LORD who rules over all.

SURELY THE BRIDEGROOM IS AT THE DOOR 6 of 6


Part 6 of 6
SURELY THE BRIDEGROOM IS AT THE DOOR
The rapture is not just safety for the true church but also judgment to the remaining world

WHAT IF YOU FIND THAT YOU MISSED THE RAPTURE
Take heart!! Console yourself in the Lord
IF YOU ARE LEFT BEHIND BY THE RAPTURE KNOW THAT THE TRIBULATION WILL BE LITERALLY HELL BROUGHT TO THE SURFACE OF THE EARTH. THERE WILL BE SUPER EVIL- NOT INVENTED BY MAN-BUT EVIL MADE AND PERFECTED FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS IN HELL BY THE DEVIL. THIS, PLUS THE WARTH OF GOD. THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD –THE CHURCH-  WILL BE GONE: ONLY DARKNESS WILL REMAIN ON EARTH.
Jesus said:
John 9:4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.
John 11:10 But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.

THE TRIBULATION WILL BE A DIFFICULT DECEITFUL TIME FOR A CHRISTIAN
YOU CAN STILL ENTER THE KINGDOM OF GOD IF YOU ARE LEFT BY THE RAPTURE IF:
1.   YOU DON’T TAKE THE MARK OF THE BEAST. BE IT A CHIP INJECTION IN YOUR ARM OR FOREHEAD whether it’s a healthcare chip as they will call it or whatever else they might call it. RFID keep off it even at the cost of your life. TAKING THE MARK OF THE BEAST IS EXTERNAL DEATH. DO NOT WORSHIP THE ANTICHRIST/BEAST/HEAD OF THE ONE-WORLD GOVERNMENT OR HIS IMAGE
Rev 14:9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive [his] mark in his forehead, or in his hand,10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.12 Here is the patience of the saints: here [are] they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.


2.   IF IT COMES TO A CHOICE BETWEEN JESUS AND YOUR LIFE, JESUS AND THE MARK OF THE BEAST. IF IT COMES TO THIS, DIE FOR JESUS. HE DIED FOR YOU, IT WILL BE YOUR TURN TO DIE FOR HIS NAME. CHOOSE DEATH-TO BE KILLED. THE ONLY WAY TO ENTER HIS KINGDOM AT THAT TIME SHALL BE THE ULTIMATE TEST- TO LAY DOWN YOUR LIFE FOR JESUS’S NAME.
Heb 12:4 Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin. 1Cor 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God [is] faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear [it].

THE BIBLE SAYS THE DEATH SHALL BE BY BEHEADING. TERRIBLE TORTUE WILL PRECEDE THE KILLING. CHOOSE TO DIE FOR YOUR FAITH IN JESUS. THAT WILL BE THE ONLY OPTION OPEN TO YOU.
THOSE WHO DIE FOR JESUS WILL BE RESURRECTED WITHIN A VERY SHORT TIME TO GLORY- LESS THAN 7 YEARS [the tribulation is 7 years according to Rev and Daniel but Jesus said that that period has/shall be shortened] AND WILL RULE WITH CHRIST FOR 1,000 YEARS. THOSE WHO TAKE THE MARK AND WORSHIP THE BEAST WILL RESURRECT AFTER 1000 YEARS TO ETERNAL DAMNATION.
Rev 6:9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
Rev 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and [I saw] the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received [his] mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This [is] the first resurrection.
Rev 20:6 Blessed and holy [is] he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.


FURTHER WORD OF COUTION IF YOU ARE LEFT BEHIND:

2Thess 2:8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:9 [Even him], whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 2 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
2Pet 2:9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:

I PRAY THAT THIS COMPILATION OF SCRIPTURES  THROUGH THE POWER OF THE HOLYSPIRIT GUIDE YOU, SPEAK TO YOU EDIFY AND PREAPARE YOU IN SPIRIT IN JESUS’s NAME.

SURELY THE BRIDEGROOM IS AT THE DOOR
The rapture is not just safety for the true church but also judgment to the remaining world


12.  REQUIRED: Seek and be filled with the Holy spirit
Do not be like the 5 foolish virgins who had no oil in their lamps. Fill your lamb with Oil-be filled with The Holy Spirit. God is Trinity God. You cannot worship Jesus yet neglect or reject The Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit was given us
John 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;17 [Even] the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
John 15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, [even] the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
John 14:26 But the Comforter, [which is] the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
John 16:7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, [that] shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

Rom 8:1 [There is] therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.6 For to be carnally minded [is] death; but to be spiritually minded [is] life and peace. 7 Because the carnal mind [is] enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. 9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.10 And if Christ [be] in you, the body [is] dead because of sin; but the Spirit [is] life because of righteousness.11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.13 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.14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

WARNINGS FROM THE SCRIPTURES
Sin shall not enter the Kingdom of GOD

Rev 21:7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

1Cor 5:11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.

1Cor 6:9  Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

Eph 5:3 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; 4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

Gal 5:18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are [these]; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: 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.22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

Rev 22:14 Blessed [are] they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.15 For without [are] dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

1John 3:15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.

[note: that the above scriptures are quoting  the 10 commandments in Exodus 20. Jesus came to fulfill the law not to abolish it. Matt 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. However in the area of righteousness Christ became the end of the law (to believers)- Rom 10:4 For Christ [is] the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. Gal 3:23 But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster [to bring us] unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. Acts 13:39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.]


CAME OUT FROM AMONG THEM

2Cor 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in [them]; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean [thing]; and I will receive you,18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.


TAKE HEAD THAT THE CARES AND WORRIES OF THIS WORLD DO NOT DIVERT YOU AND MAKE YOU MISS THE MARRIAGE FEAST OF THE LAMB

Luke 10:38 Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.39 And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word.40 But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me. 41 And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: 42 But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
Lesson: be careful about the cares and worries of this world , they will make you be left behind.

In the parable of the sower we learn:

Mark 4:7[KJV] And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
Mark 4:18 [KJV]And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,19 And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.

In the parable of the KING’S WEDDING FEAST FOR HIS SON (MATHEW 22, LUKE 14: 16-24) WE LEARN that Those invited made light of the invitation (LUKE 14:16-24:

Three reasons/Excuses were given by those invited: 1. I have bought a piece of land and I need to go see it (YOUR PROPERTIES AND ESTATES) 2. I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them ( YOUR JOB, YOUR BUSINESSESS) 3. I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come (YOUR RELATIONSHIPS, YOUR FAMILY, YOUR FRIENDS). Luke 14:18-20.
And the Kings judgment was : Luke 14:24 For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.

Watch your garment, keep it white all the time:

Matt 22:11 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. 13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast [him] into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

 Note that the man was known to the King (he called him friend) and note that the man said nothing in answer to the Kings question and that he was cast to Hell. GOD WILL NOT COMPROMISE ON THE ISSUE OF HOLINESS- WITHOUT HOLINESS NO ONE SHALL SEE GOD – HEBREWS 12:14

Rev 7:13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

Luke 14:26 If any [man] come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
Luke 14:33 So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.

GOD WILL NOT COMPROMISE, HE WILL NOT LOWER THE PASSMARK, TO ENTER HIS KINGDOM YOU NEED TO MEET THE THRESHHOLD HE HAS SET SO ‘WORK OUT YOUR SALVATION WITH FEAR AND TREMBLING’ Phil. 2:12
Job 34:12 Yea, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment.
