John 6:66 They walked with Him no more

   This is interesting verse which is in context with verse 60 of John chapter six, Therefore many of His disciples, when they heard this, said, "This is a hard saying; who can understand it?" plus Luke 9:62 as Jesus said "No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God." So what is being said here is that it is possible to fall away from the Truth, which points out that your salvation is conditional if you came through the narrow gate. Matt 7:13-14. In 2 Timothy 4:10, Paul reminds us that Demas had forsaken the faith, having loved this present world. Scripture gives other illustrations; such as shipwreck in 1 Timothy 1:18-20; in particularity verse 19 "having faith and a good conscience, which some having rejected, concerning the faith have suffered shipwreck, of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I delivered to Satan that he may learn not to blaspheme." Some would ask I do not understand they were never believers in the first place, no I don't think so, because Paul gives us a illustration with the word "shipwreck" with this these two men were believers "on the ship" but they fell away in their steadfastness and shipwreck their souls. Today pastors are telling their flocks that your faith can not be lost (unconditional salvation) another way of saying this would be  "once saved always saved" this is a lie from the devil and your pastors are teaching this junk. Most of you have not come through the narrow gate because your lives demonstrate that you are double-minded by your worldly ways and your appetite for the things in this world that do not last. We are reminded in Matt 7:17-20 "Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree can not bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you will know them." Another words, if you are producing good and bad fruit then you are not a good tree, and God will judge those who have not bear good fruit, and throw them in the fire(Hell). This is not my opinion but is God's word please wake up there still is time.

The Ninevites Repentance

  Why did God sent Jonah to preach to them, another words they were aliens (to the covenant) of God. They were not the chosen people of God.The Jews were the chosen people of God in the Old Testament and until the death of Christ. The Ninevites knew nothing about who God was and they knew nothing about His commandments. Yet God had Jonah preached the baptism of repentance to them, warning them that He would destroy them. And guess what they fear God and His wrath, and came to a humble repentant heart to get right with God. Why did God pursue them? Obviously God had compassion upon these people even though they were Assyrian, they took His threat of being able to destroy Nineveh seriously, and repented. Notice what is repentance in Jonah chapter 3:5-9, they believed God, what does this mean they took it to heart and saw themselves as sinners before a Holy God. This is a splendid story of repentance; because they knew they were sinners and they came to the light(God) you must allow yourself to be expose for what you are, you see most people prefer to stay in darkness and not be expose to the light. With this attitude you will never see the kingdom because you must swallow your pride. Another step is that they fear God and believe every word Jonah spoke, this cause them to take stock of themselves(Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you? unless indeed you are disqualified. 2 Corinthians 13:5) Another verse of warning is from Philippians 2:12-13, "work out your own salvation with fear and trembling for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure". With fear in their hearts they proclaim a fast and put on sackcloth, again these are deeds to demonstrate their attitudes toward God, and this took place with the greatest to the least in statue in the city. In verse six, we see that the king not only was in sackcloth but he sat in ashes, what does this mean? It was a symbol of anguish and grief which again represented their hearts. The king made a degree to all in the kingdom stating, "Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste anything; do not let them eat or drink water. But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily to God; yes, let every one turn from his evil way and from the violence that is in his hands. Who can tell if God will turn and relent, and turn away from His fierce anger, so that we may not perish?" My question to you have you repented in this fashion? If not, you are not a child of God. With the statement "let every one turn from his evil way and from the violence that is in his hands" means only one thing that you are capable of stopping sin in your life if you are willing to do so, no one speaks of this in the false church because they give you excuses for you to continue in your sins and to say some prayer that means nothing except that you are not genuine. That is the reason why no one in our society who calls themselves Christians lived like one, they are hypocrites. Another note of interest is that the preaching of Jonah is a strong statement that they knew that Jonah's God was serious and they wasted no time in demonstrating that they understood what he meant by their deeds. Remember this we are capable of obeying God, we must stop all known sin that is revealed in our conscience through the Holy Spirit before repentance is granted. This is require before you can be a child of the King, He knows your heart if you are seeking Him, and He will reveal Himself to you but only for those who have the right motivation in their hearts.
