My Lord:
Always searching and listening for the Way. Ability and not that inability lie. Who makes Christ enough, they who continue to sin? That moral depravity lie, total depravity to make the gospel needed? The sin nature lie, does this prove to foolish men that they need Christ by watching those who pretend to know Him as they continue in their sinful ways? Is this the example, the pattern given so others will look and see the Way? Walking in the lust of the flesh, taking up provisions, inventing ways to say one loves the Lord Jesus and yet have no moral change, no obedience to the a faith that is absolutely based upon faithfulness and obedience? Who is right, the logic and knowledge of men, or the book of the Lord? A book written by "HOLY" men of God through prophecy by the Holy Ghost the very Spirit of God in men. How about the lie of no moral reform? How about the lie that the Holy Ghost did not come to reprove us of sin? One can spend a lifetime sifting all the lies men invent and do chase to be free in sin, to have liberty as they serve corruption. How hard is it to let go of a tradition that allows one to do nothing but give lip service to the Truth? How hard is it to let go of someone doing it all for you, obeying it all for you, paying it all for you? Who will still get up and run the race with such provisions set in place? Who will rise early to work with such silly traditions handed down? I hear one does not need to deny thyself, take up thine own cross and follow. One needs not to be faithful. One needs not do good, but can be evil as evil can be as long as they profess to believe. I have heard them speak endlessly of the Grace of God and not ever in the last seven and a half years have I heard anyone mention what the Grace of God is? No not even one time. 1 Peter 2:15, " For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men: " Always as I search for the Truth to tear down all the foolishness that is offered by what pretends to be the church. What I was given is not what I found by the many professed. Always before is the Truth, many called few chosen. Many will seek to enter but few will be able. Many think they are in the service of God as the kill you. Matthew 7 screams loudly, I never even knew you, you who did many wonderful works in My Name. ALWAYS HEARING WHY THE ABOVE IS TRUE. THEM WHO REFUSE TO HEAR, REFUSE TO HEARKEN, REFUSE TO KNOW, REFUSE TO WORK. THEM WHO CONTINUE TO WORK INIQUITY. Matthew 7:23, " And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. " The shock, the awe, the terror, the weeping, the wailing, the gnashing of teeth, the out right horror of hearing such words spoken by the Lord Jesus Christ. Indeed warn them, tell them to cease from buying lies, taking up provisions and chasing after the traditions of men. Set down the Commandments of men and take up the Commandments of God Almighty. They who work will eat of the good, of the butter and the honey to know what them who refuse to cease from iniquity fail to understand. Refuse the evil and choose the good. That they who love Him are truly powerful to Go and Sin No More. Powerful to be able. We are only human, no one is perfect, none can keep or maintain. It is always to doubt, always the excuse, always the provisions. Always a reason why one can not; never is it through Christ I CAN do all things. When can a child walk, talk, see, hear, and become a doer and not just an hearer? At what point does the sin stop? At what point does one cease from the desires and the affections of the lust of the flesh? When has one truly crucified the passions and the lusts in Christ, with Christ? When does one rejoice that Christ did overcome the world and made an open show it, that they who love Him can do the same? It makes me question what I always hear by the professed. Sinning saints, heaven filled with sinners, born again but continue to sin, none righteous no not EVEN one, how about none seek after God? In this case are there "holy sinners"? I find the question utterly foolish, yet this is what we face in this world by the professed. How could there be "holy men of God" if there is none righteous? How could there be a man of God if there can not be any that are righteous? The contradictions never end with hearing them who feign salvation, even more sad to think, they had salvation and turned from it. Not in vain is it written. It can not be both, you can not be double minded and receive anything from God, for it says they who are double minded ought not think they will receive anything from God. First thing the other day in conversation with a person I do not doubt had an experience with the Holy Ghost. This person immediately quoted there are none righteous not even one. Immediately I went on to finish the parts those like this person never ever quote. In fact, I have never even once heard one quote the rest or even one verse past Romans 3:10. I can not count how many times I have heard Romans 3:10 quoted. So I quoted the next verse and said "none seek after God". I said "are you telling me you do not seek after God"?. "Are you truly saying you believe that there are no men anywhere that seek after God, not even one"? Of course that was met with "God hardened Pharaoh's heart" and no answer to the questions. So then God has hardened your heart so you continue to sin against Him, even though you are saved by the grace that teaches you not sin? Absolutely saying "God makes you sin". God tempts you to sin? Where is that written? I can find God tempts no man, I can not find God tempting anyone. I can find where those who go about sinning reap what they have sown. I can find God handing them over to their wickedness who refuse to hearken. I can find God sending strong delusion to them that already believe lies, who find pleasure in unrighteousness. What hardens the hearts of men, committing sin they have chosen to do or obeying from the heart? The Grace of God that teaches all men to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts (that this person sat there confessing that not over the last 14 years has he been able to cease from lust), to live sober, righteous and godly in this present world. That this grace that those who are saved receive by the Holy Ghost was given to you but God has chosen for you to continue in your lust of the flesh. So then by evil doing you are being used for what? To prove to the foolish men of the world that they need Christ for what? To continue sin, to be unable, to not be in different then that old man they wanted to put off? 2 Pet 1:21, " For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. " Pharaoh was never saved, never filled with the Holy Ghost. He rejected the Truth of God and as with anyone who does this, their heart is hardened. Having a hard heart is by ones own choice to continue in sin, it is reaping what you have sown. Which God has told all they will do if they will not obey Him. So then it is the disobedient that have their hearts hardened and they are at fault for not heeding the Truth. This man was saved by his own testimony and yet rejected the teachings of grace and continues to lust for the flesh of women, and openly entertains unrighteousness, finding pleasure in doing so. Not once in the 14 years of what he professed to be walking with the Lord Jesus has he not lusted in the flesh for women, never mind all the other sins that have never stopped. This is what this man leaned in not just one pretend church but many. The same foul teaching that he can not but sin and never will be able What the Truth is and what this poor lost man falsely believes in the truth are absolutely two entirely different things. One surely is the Truth and the other surely is a lie. Again, 1 Peter 2:15, " For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men: " Not with sinning, not with being totally depraved does anyone makes Christ anything. For Christ does not change regardless of the filthy lies they lay at His feet. He is the Truth regardless of what any false witness does or says. The will of God is "with well doing" we put to silence the ignorance of foolish men. Nowhere is the will God, that men, with evil doing, will put to silence the ignorance of foolish men. The false witness and the pretending churches teach this absurd idea, but it does not exist in the Truth. Men invent such awful ideas, such as the idea of total depravity being a must to make the gospel of peace needed. There are many evil ideas men have created, invented and imagined and sell to others. But this is truly disgusting, just like that license to sin, and as you can see, it is the very same idea expressed in another way. Again, every vain idea of men in someway is the license to sin, that freedom to sin, that excuse for sin. Always that reason found by men to be able to sin or not be able to cease from sinning. Pick a denomination, any one pf the many pretending church's and you will find some version of license to sin. Well doing without the works of iniquity. It is not a forever sinner, born to sin, sin nature, ever unable to Go and Sin No More. Again what is the Power of Christ to overcome good for if you are told all those filthy lies of never being able and it being irresistible. Anyone can turn back, anyone can buy the lies, anyone can be deceived. Listen to liars and reap their lies. The leaven leavens the whole lump. Never forget Matthew 7, many do many wonderful works in the Name of the Lord Jesus but refuse to cease from the woks of iniquity. When one is told, taught they can not but sin, how will the Truth ever be known to them? Flee from them that live in error, withdraw thyself. Romans 2:7, " To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life: " Galatians 6:9, " And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. " 2 Thessalonians 3:13, " But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing. " 1 Peter 2:15, " For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men: " 1 Peter 3:17, " For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing. " 1 Peter 4:19, " Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator. " Sure, these so called church's do many wonderful works, but Matthew 7 is written just for them. They who do many wonderful works but CONTINUE to work iniquity. To teach it, to sell it, to show forth the example to ignorant foolish men that they are unable even with Christ to do anything but be morally depraved. THEY WHO SAY YOU CAN SIN AND NOT DIE ARE OF THE DEVIL AND HAVE NO PLACE IN HEAVEN BY THE VERY WORD OF GOD, THIS IS THE TRUTH. These places shut up the gate to them truly seeking it, they become ensnared by all the vain imaginations of men and traditions handed down. They are locked into death and hell by what pretends to be part of Christ. I find not at all strange that Christ spent His time rebuking those who proclaimed to be the church and how they hated Him for it, wanted Him dead, and they, lost, in their own lust for envy sake murdered Whom they professed to love. That the Truth of there being nothing new under the sun is played out right before them all and they fight to stay in a position that has nothing but lip service to the King of kings. The heart truly far; the lips near. Romans 2:7, " To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life: Well DOING, the word "doing" is what? Work, if you are doing something, then it is not being done for you, because you are doing it. God has established the LAW in them that have faith in Him, it is written upon the heart. One can not be carnal sold under sin and be able to keep the Law, walk after it, or obey. For the carnal mind hates God, even when the mouth of that mind professes to love God, lip service is no service, a steward unfaithful, is no wife of the Lord. A person in sin is not preparing for the Lord to come, not preparing for the wedding, but is bust cheating, playing the whore, the harlot, fornicating. Romans 2:8 But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, Rom 2:9 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile; The fake church that sells inability, that invites all to come uncleaned, without a wedding garment will be found speechless and will be cast out into outer darkness, there will be weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth. Contentious, obeying not the Truth are not clothed in the righteousness of Christ at the wedding, they are speechless for they will not be able to speak when they realize what they have failed to do "PREPARE", GO AND SIN NO MORE. Have no pleasure in unrighteousness or them that do unrighteousness, mortify the members, make NO provisions for the lust of the flesh to be fulfilled, abstain from fornication and all appearances of evil. The terror of the Lord, many called, few chosen. Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. Run the race and cease not from the work, putting thine hands to the plough, plough! Have you begun to build? Did you take the time to consider the cost? It is not a tv version, be not deceived, understand what is before all mankind. God is no respecter of any man, joining a group will not make you anything. Hearing will not make you anything, it is the doer. Do not let them deceive you, run the race, do the works. It is a faith that works by love and is proven by deeds. A faith without works is dead and works without faith is dead. War a good warfare, be ye faithful. The cry to battle "be ye faithful". enduring till the end. Be not called off to the same excess of riot as so many are. Matthew 22:12, " And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. " Romans 2:10, " But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile: Romans 2:13 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. " So then who makes Christ enough, the forever sinner, or them who receive the gift (Christ Crucified) and is likewise crucified and obeys from the heart going and sinning no more? Who truly thinks Christ wants to be needed by man sinning? That gift of God Almighty, salvation despite the many offenses being justified by the sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ. The gift no man can do of themselves, no man can sacrifice and find forgiveness, yet a condition is placed upon it all. Love bears conditions or there would be no need of Christ, of the book of the Lord, or the Commandments. Repent, faith, faithful, obedience and all like to these things one finds conditions without question. Immutable is the Truth for there would be no need to count the cost if a condition existed not. Yet them who say no man need Repent are upon all sides. The enemy is always greater in number and upon every side, but faint not, Christ overcame this world and for that we may rejoice indeed. He made an open show of it for all to witness. There is not any song greater, more known, more sought, more read, more spoken, more thought of in all the world and there will never be a greater song "Christ crucified". A beautiful song sung "if ye love Me, keep My Commandments". A beautiful song sung "name Me and depart from iniquity". A beautiful song sung "a steward is required to be faithful". The questions stand: Who makes Christ enough? Who makes Christ needed? Who loves Christ? A Commandment that is the greatest of ALL Commandments. To love God with ALL thine heart, mind, soul, body and might. In this greatest of ALL Commandments we see the cost. ALL is the cost to keep, to maintain, to be a doer of it. Do not let them with smooth words and a smile and the mere appearance of love fool you into spending the rest of ones days fulfilling the lust of the flesh and thinking you are saved, it is not a tv version. No man, has a crown been given that has not finished the race. No man is crowned before finishing the race. Who runs for something they already have obtained? Do not fool yourselves and be not fooled. Who hears the Truth and ignores it? Do not let provisions bench you, sideline you, take you out of the battle. It is war and much greater than any war men create in their imaginations to simply fulfill their own lusts. Who truly believes that running a race is not a work? Who are the fools that think the race is being run for them? Or that it has already been run for them? Many called;few chosen. The race was indeed run and the example was given for anyone who will choose to follow. But following not is by thine own will, as it is to follow. Free will is choice, to decide to whom will you yield yourselves servants to obey, sin unto death or obedience unto righteousness? The blind leading the blind into a pit. Provisions masquerade as Truth;take thee no provisions. 1 Corinthians 9:24, " Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. " Isaiah 51:1, " Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the LORD: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged " Christ is made enough by them that obey Him, that keep the Commandments, that run the race and faint not. Them who do as written, to faith add virtue, add the effectualness of operation proving thine state of being. To virtue add knowledge, becoming effectual one understands that gain is doing, keeping, maintaining, being able, obeying from the heart. To the knowledge add temperance, bring thine body into subjection, Go and Sin No More, self control. Temptation all around and yet one rejects it. Listen to the conversations of them around you, how they tempt you into the old man, the old way. Recognize the enemy within, who is truly speaking to you? To temperance add patience and this is difficult in a world where everything is "now", "instant", no one can wait for anything, the lust must be satisfied now at the cost of anything. Be patient, wait on the Lord, do the WORKS, well doing. The gain for the lack and the lack for the gain. In every aspect of life, not just filthy money, but the living sacrifice, To sacrifice is to make holy Amen. The act of giving up something for something else. Give up evil that which is holy, is a work, is an act, is a thing done, is a choice, is free will. I will offer my life a sacrifice for the Lord God Almighty, do thy will and I will submit, I will become weak for the greater. In weakness one becomes strong indeed, to have Christ rest upon you is power without limit. Patience is much more when truly defined and dug into. To patience add godliness, as expressed already. A life given in sacrifice makes holy, godly, one sees that for something, something is exchanged. An image begins to manifest itself. What was unclear becomes clear. It takes time to WORK IT OUT. It takes effort, yet all around the many remove that effort. They are robbing many for their own lusts to be fulfilled. To be unable allows for whatever one desires and yet can have excuse, can justify whatever evil is committed. I love you but I cheat on you. I made an oath that said for better or worst, richer or poor, sickness or health, till death, but not if I have to actually be a doer of that oath. Why should I live a life sacrificed for someone who does not return it? God would not want me to live like that, a fantastic lie that allows for that provision to be used. To godliness add brotherly kindness, something that proves harmless a dove and yet wise as a serpent. Many preachers so called speak of killing and prove they have no understanding. Many follow them that preach what ought not be, for they love to be justified in committing an act evil, to be able to do rail for rail, evil for evil. This is so in our faces that I suppose the closeness of it blinds indeed, So close one can not focus and so it like a city without walls, anything can just walk in. To brotherly kindness add charity. Charity is love, and once one has grown into this image expressed in the book of the Lord, they can truly love and know they never had loved anything but themselves. Only doing what had to be done so they could meet their own want. Just the appearance of love, but not true faithfulness. War is not easy and anyone saying it is, lies. When the cost is all and one understands this, it is surely not easy to reconcile it all. One begins to weight this for that. To look at the angles, the trade offs, what am I willing to lose, to get? One finds offense right here and many turn back right here. Push through it, plow that field, do not just give in, fight, strive, thirst, hunger, yearn, there is so much more then what this silly world expresses. So much more then the foolish lusts we see played out on the television. How it is always the same theme played out over and over and over for us. Always the fight of good and evil and the need for evil to find the good. Christ is needed for we are evil, created that way by God, so Christ could be what? Never really a choice, but always a justification, I will be evil, so that good will come. Paradox, the flesh loves it, or so it seems. I read things I have written and I think, me? Together we labor with God, a cultivated field, husbandry, tillage. It is growth to see evil to be evil and good to be good. To be able to distinguish between to things and now them for what they truly are. What is this life to them that truly know the Truth? What will anyone take with them in death? So what is it one ought to store up? What will truly help you who know the Truth? What in this world can you obtain that will grow you more than the Truth? Not vain imaginations of men, created to always have that duality, the mixing of the cups, the sharing the tables. What has light to do with dark and dark with light? Nothing, light is light and dark is dark. Dark hides and light reveals, they have nothing to do with the each other. Be ye separate, be ye peculiar, withdraw thyself from them t hat live in the dark. Do not partake of their sins. Do not be leavened by them. One working with God has everything they need, but by the flesh one will never realize it. Husbandry, a thing cared for by God, He cultivated it, planted the best vines, not the worst. He made no man to be evil, you are not evil by any other means but you choose to be. There is not any thing, father, mother, brother, sister, child, friend that is worth losing thine own soul by becoming evil. If the simple Truth offends, then you already know where you stand. For whom will you commit evil, for what will you rebel? What person or thing is worth more than God? For what would you take your hands from the plough/plow? For what will you turn back? For what will you deny the Truth? What provision is worth your soul? What reasoning is worth your soul? What excuse is worth your soul? Matthew 10:37, " He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. Matthew 10:38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. " I have heard them that say you need not deny thyself, take up thine cross or even follow. They profess without shame or blushing as they contradict the Lord Jesus they profess to love. Yet the Truth tells the Truth and they are not worthy of Christ and they will weep, wail and gnash their teeth. 1 Corinthians 3:9, " For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building. " 2 Corinthians 6:1, " We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain. " This is the Lords day, the seventh day, the last day of the week, also called the weekend. This is the day God rested from all His works. This day was made for man and not man for it. It is the fourth Commandment, remember? If ye love Me, keep My Commandments. Seek, Repent and Sin No More. It is remission and not permission. We are the words we speak. Blessed be the Name of the Lord Amen and Amen. https://lesliewross.weebly.com/blog/who-makes-christ-enough

All That Matters Is Christ...Weeks before my death the Lord knocked upon my heart, I heard and opened the door. My life has been forever changed, a new man indeed. Me a wicked man saved by the Grace of God, no more that wicked man. Died at 43 and was given a choice to stay or go. If I stayed I had to tell of the Lord Jesus Christ and here I am. I share my walk with my Lord, my candle is lit and I pray it be a light for all to know the Lord Jesus is the Way to the Truth to have Life, Amen. Archives
