A LESSON IN HOLINESS
A LESSON IN HOLINESS
PART I
Let me tell you of the new “Christians”
of this era
and their walk with god
I know of this personally
so do not believe this is contrived
They meet together as often as they can
They call it Bible study, worship and prayer
They each have mentors, many
They each go to counseling
They read their Bibles
and tell each other what they think it means
They believe they are free of sin
And yet, the leader who formed the groups church wide,
who leads worship, who counsels and teaches
from the Word of God
ALSO supports his wife
who creates demonic characters for video games,
paints and advertises nude paintings
on Facebook and Instagram
There are literally no words
I can write to describe God's anger
But perhaps, He can
“A long time ago in a Garden far away
There lie a Snake who spoke with ease
He spoke of deception
He spoke in a way to bring harmony
He spoke to create a rift between Myself and man
He spoke and the people believed him
He was now their best friend
He was the one who counseled them
And walked the Garden, the once perfect Garden
With them
He was who they looked to for direction
He was, in fact, their confidante
And of course, you know the rest of the story . . .
Transfer yourselves now to this day and age
And what we have here, the above account
Has really happened
It is not something new, either
It goes on in countless small groups and ‘Bible studies’
All across this globe
And they honestly believe that they are being ‘Christian’
When they are, in fact, walking with the Devil
You cannot see the Snake when you enter
You cannot smell him
You cannot taste of him
But he is there and ever present
There are many signs and a true Christian
Would know these signs
But what we have here are not true Christians
Not people who abide in Me
Who have been born of My Spirit
Who can recognize the difference between a Snake
And My Holy Spirit
They have been going on for years and years and years
And still innocent people, even children
Are caught up in these webs and cannot free themselves
The leaders are truly an abomination to Me
I allow them their space to create their web of deception
But truly it is a test to all who call themselves ‘Christian’
Will you recognize the signs and rebuke and demand repentance
Or will you join with them on the way to Hell?
In this particular group
The leader and his wife were confronted
They were told that what they were doing was not right,
Was not a good way to represent a Holy God
They responded with excuses,
remarks of having many mentors
Who sanctioned what they do,
bragging that they have no sin in their lives
And they will continue as they are
They will not step down from leadership
They will not stop their sin
They will not stop teaching and worshipping
and counseling others into their view of the Gospel
I would have given this young man Proverbs 2
And brought him aside and told him of his sin
But he was confronted once and believed not
that he was sinning
I will not give him even one more warning
I will not allow him to continue to teach,
to worship, to counsel
I will take from him all that stands in the way of him
Encountering a Holy God and surviving
As for his wife, the one who is intimate with the Snake
I will not write in words her fate
I will leave it up to your imagination
But Hell is a place below the earth
And right here and now
Right here! Right now!
This young couple will NOW be a sign
Of all that is coming to this earth
To take from it the apostate,
the unrepentant ‘christian’,
those who say they are from Me
And yet, FEED people from the underworld,
from Satan,
from the Snake
Do not go around them
or you will be considered part of them
Do not reach out to them
for I will cloister them away from mankind
Do not say that you love them
when you would not address their sins
Do not, in any way,
believe that they are of Me
Because they talk the talk,
worship, teach, say they believe
And then give you POISON
DO NOT BELIEVE THEM!
They are liars from Hell
And now, I will prove it
every moment of their lives
For all the world to see
Watch Me work
But do not believe that I will also allow your sin
You are next . . .
Get clean
Get right
For time has come . . .
Malachi 3
'But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars ---- they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur.'
Revelation 21:8"

PART II
"The problem with vision
Is that it requires light
The problem with the demonic
Is that it wants to stay where it is
So, we have a dilemma
Of one young couple
Seeking to make a difference in their world
They cannot, actually, they refuse to
see their sin
So for one, vision is becoming darker
To make sure there will be no conviction
That the Light brings
Darker and darker the vision becomes
And face it, it’s scary, very scary
But not as scary as going blindfolded into Hell
Remember that
When your eyes no longer focus
You cannot read or drive
You cannot trust yourself to walk across a room
Unescorted
Remember that Judgment comes
1st because you would not listen to Truth
2nd because you would not repent
3rd because I am a God of grace who gives
You a chance to do 1 and 2 until the day you die
So, your vision is darkened
That’s not what your life is all about
You can still function
You can still work and enjoy life
But son, this is meant for a lesson
Not something you adapt to
It’s meant to show you that you don’t
Have enough Light in your life
To warrant eternal life
Think on these things in your darkness
Because this is all your doing
And some would call it ‘spiritual abuse’
To say / write such Judgments
Many of this young generation are very sensitive
To any form of Judgment
And yet, the Bible, My Word is full of them
‘Spiritual abuse!’ they exclaim and disregard the message
But there will come a time
When you will remember all the times
I tried to teach you Truth
I showed you the right path, repentance
And you thought Me too harsh, insensitive
But your soul is at stake
And you would listen no other way
And for the wife, the little witch-in-waiting
You fill yourself with the demonic
In order to capture the characters you want to present
You capture their ways, their expressions, their works
And to be honest, you become them to be real
And present the real
You flaunt nudity and your artistry
Not caring that children are seeing these things
Yes, churches of old have nude paintings
But they are not of Me
Religious people do all sorts of things,
Including the rape and molestation of children
And just because it happens in a church
Does not mean that it is of a Holy God
Your excuse is lame, incomplete, of the Devil
So, the days pass
And the demons will increase and call more
There will never be enough
Until you cry, ‘Enough!’
And repent
I could fashion many verses about My view
Of witchcraft, evil, sorcery
But you call what you do recreation
You call it just a fun game
You call it what you want to tame the conviction
But I hold you accountable in every way
For all that you present,
all that you draw other people
Into the underworld, into its web
These are not idle words
And do come with Judgment
As to all that you present
that brings people into darkness
So will be the results within you
You will bear, carry all the damage you bring to others
Maybe with this Judgment you will begin to know
How I view your little game
Your perversity
Your demonic jokes and adventures
“You are to be My Holy people."
Exodus 22:31
"I am the Lord your God; consecrate yourselves and be Holy, because I am Holy. I am the Lord, who brought you up out of Egypt to be your God; therefore be Holy, because I am Holy."
Leviticus 11:44-45
“Speak to the entire assembly of Israel and say to them: ‘Be Holy because I, the Lord your God, am Holy."
Leviticus 19:2
“‘Consecrate yourselves and be Holy, because I am the Lord your God."
Leviticus 20:7
"You are to be Holy because I, the Lord, am Holy, and I have set you apart from the nations to be My own."

"Surely it is You who love the people; all the Holy ones are in Your Hand. At Your Feet they all bow down, and from You receive instruction."
Deuteronomy 33:3
"Fear the Lord, you His Holy people, for those who fear Him lack nothing."
Psalm 34:9
"But the Lord Almighty will be exalted by His Justice, and the Holy God will be proved Holy by His Righteous acts."
Isaiah 5:16
And son, as your vision dims
As the last light you see is just a glimmer
As you try to remember how light looked
Have a friend read to you these verses
Over and over and over again
Until you believe, fully believe
with every ounce of your being
that I have called you to Holiness
and I will do whatever it takes
To bring it about.”
THE SOVEREIGN LORD
PART III
Psalm 76
2 Kings 2:23-25
Happenstance and anger
Righteous anger and foolish people
When is a prophet worthy of respect?
When will mankind understand the Righteous acts of God?
There is a time for Righteous anger
There is a time for respect due the prophet
There is a time for Holy Vengeance
There is a time for God to appear
To make right what has been in error
Go to your rooms and hide
Fill your chambers with holy water
Take Communion and declare safety
Pray and fast
But the Hand of God will sweep through
His church and bring Justice
Quick and refined Justice
For the Blood of the prophets
It begins and will not stop
Two choices: repentance or death
Hide yourselves
But God will find you
Seek counsel
But God will still strike
Console each other
But every day there will be less to console
Sin does not matter in an age of grace?
Think again
As you see the strikes
And know that Father God has not changed
Unrepentant sin is punished
Mockery of a prophet is punished
Rebellion is punished
Get on your knees and weep
This will not end
Until God's Righteous anger passes
Through every town, church, home
And you will stand and wonder
Will God ever have compassion again?
Think of these things while you sit at home
And meet together
Think of these things as you pray
And list all the ways you want God to serve you
Think of these things as friends and loved ones
Encounter insurmountable problems
And your prayers are simply not heard
It could have been different
It should have been different
You should have listened
You had ample time to repent
Days and nights of terror
Take the place of peace and safety
And still you fail to repent
All you do is beg for mercy
The prophet was sent to bring peace
Establish true Righteous rule
They are sent by a Holy God
With a message
They lay their lives down to give you this message
And you mock, slander, accuse, torment them
And expect God to still hear your prayers?
The losses will be great
And unredeemable
They will touch every part of your lives
That is more important than your love of God
And obedience to Him
There is no time to run now
The Judgment is already upon you
And the Truth is
You will never rise again!
Psalm 36
PART IV
UNTEACHABLE MOMENT
6:00 pm 3/22/18 --- eternity
A tale is told
Beneath the veil
A tale is told
Of long ago
A Plan by Satan
To fool all humankind
A tale is told
But few will believe
For how could it be
That Satan be so very clever
And man so utterly stupid?
And yet, it has happened
Over and over and over
Since that one fateful day
In the Garden
So the children meet
And they believe themselves
Victorious
For the prophet
has been proven wrong
Nothing has happened
All is well
Their "sin" is not a big deal
And surely Judgment of God
Is old fashioned, obsolete
In this day of grace and tolerance
Sleep comes to most
Daybreak of another day
And perhaps, another
But the Truth is
Your sin and rebellion
Your immorality, depravity, debauchery
Your poisoning of lives
Your departure from the Truth
Your disdain and rebuke of true holiness
Will now reflect itself
within each one of you
Who would not repent
Who would not cast out the guilty
Who chose friendship and fellowship
Over Truth, Holiness, repentance
Your days will be marked
By this great grievance against God
Your nights will be marked
By your sin and rebellion
Outcasts, perhaps
But more than that, much more . . .
And the prophet waits for good news
Waits to hear that repentance came
But it didn't
It couldn't
Not in this circumstance
Because God allowed the hearts
To be hardened by their arrogance
God allowed them to turn their face
So that He could show this generation
The results, the fate
Of the new age "Christian"
Up close and personal
Face it, the Scriptures are full of Judgment
But it's hard to believe
That a Loving God would do that
No, we prefer to believe in a God
Who overlooks our sin
Because we are just so adorable
But the Truth, friends,
Is that He doesn't
And for one to climb the ladder
Of Biblical knowledge
To gather people below him
To call them from their families
And loved ones
To meet for worship, prayer, Bible teaching
And then to lie to them
Present a false Gospel
Cover for impurity, demonic, filth
Is BEYOND the scope of Grace
From a Holy God
Hebrews 4 - 6
Wake up, people!
Take in the clues
This is not bad luck you see
This will be God's Hand of Wrath
Striking repeatedly
To bring forth
A lesson for others
Heed the Scriptures
Repent
Get right with God
Some of you have no time remaining
For God has already allowed your heart
To be hardened
So that you will not see your sin
Will not hear the Truth
Cannot truly repent
“He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, so they can neither see with their eyes, nor understand with their hearts, nor turn—and I would heal them.”
John 12:40
“But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called ‘Today,’ so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.”
Hebrews 3:13
“But the people of Israel are not willing to listen to you because they are not willing to listen to Me, for all the Israelites are hardened and obstinate.”
Ezekiel 3:7
And the story does end
There will be no more writing of this tale
There is a time for repentance
but that has passed for many
Arrogance, pride, sin hardens the heart
No matter how many mentors you have
which tell you that you are forgiven.
you are right with God, you are ok
God is the Judge
God sees the heart
God knows your final destination
He knows
and in some cases
He uses the hypocrite to tell a story
such as the one that was told here . . .
