OR: THERE GOES ANOTHER ONE…
YUP! I AM DISGUSTED!!!
Once upon a time, (again!) I came into conversation with a stranger, a man who called himself a Christian…
NOTE:
I implore you to read the holy Scriptures at the end of this story confirming the truth of the lies of false Christians, false converts, carnal Christians, Christians in name only, cultural Christians, nominal Christians, i.e. sinners.
I’d really like to know if false Christians are the worst of sinners… Having a form of godliness but denying in reality, I find them most disgusting!
Selah.
Beloved, like everybody else, I suffer too. Depending on why you suffer; suffering for God is a privilege. Persecution is an honor AND an inevitability. We must fight the good fight; not the compromising fight; not the fake fight.
Beloved, we must be willing to die for Christ. If we forsake Him, He will forsake us!
Selah.
One example of how I suffer: I will call him Martin… He was a stranger wearing a shirt I found great. I told him so. He, my husband, and I then started chatting: politics, blessing people…
We were in the deep stuff now: God. He told us one of his every day goals was to make people smile. Sounds good? Sounds empty to me! How is that going to keep people out of Hell?! I am more than willing to say that the majority of people I see are so self-absorbed, so hard-hearted, so devoid of awe of God, that what they really need is a good wake up call: the terror of the LORD God Almighty!
Selah.
As we went on to talk Martin revealed he claims he has cancer.
NOTE:
Again, please note carefully holy Scriptures regarding our covenant right to health!
You know, I told that guy verbatim: 1 Peter 2:24! I correctly quoted the entire Scripture! I mean: actual, biblical words about the right to being healthy!! Christ paid the price for us to be so…
Selah.
And I suffered! Why?! Martin barely noticed!!! This spiritual truth to freedom from sickness was paid almost no attention at all by Martin!! But, he went on to say when he told people about ‘his cancer’… He told them he had peace about having it! He had peace! Peace that he has a sickness, a curse from the devil and claims that’s okay! This is the ‘faith’ he endorses!
Balderdash and horsefeathers!
In addition to the cancer he chooses to keep (I don’t care if you’re mad at me, I am right! Believe the Bible!) he also has a lying tongue!
What in Heaven’s name was the reason for Jesus’ blood? His sufferings? Why thirty-nine stripes? Study! Show yourself approved. What exactly does by His wounds we are healed mean?! Exactly what Jesus, the God who never and cannot lie, said.
Jesus said: “It is finished.”
John 19:28-30
Later, knowing that everything had now been finished, and so that Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, “I am thirsty.” A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus’ lips. When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
Christ finished His work! The Father sent the Son. One must not only study the cross: we must study the Garden; we must study the seven places Jesus Christ, Son of God, Son of Man, shed His blood – for me, for you!
Selah.
I find one of the most insufferable things I endure is sharing the truth of God’s healing power, deliverance, and rescue and then having people shrug it off!
Selah
and amen!
Even more insufferable it is when people claim to belong to Christ Jesus! Christ Jesus, Son of God, Son of Man, who never lies, who was tempted in every way yet never sinned! Christ Jesus, Son of God, Son of Man, who became sin for us and redeemed us from every curse IF only we claim Him as our only Savior and Lord and BELEVE HIM!
So, in this day and age, I suffer… I tackle my sufferings from liars and other types of sinners by running and completing until my entry to Heaven by staying in love with the only true and living God: the God of the Bible; God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit: One God in Three Person, Deity, Godhead.
Beloved, I am thankful I get so very angry, righteously angry, when people don’t believe God, receive God, receive from God, becoming victorious through God!
SO: God gave me the answer! A red envelope… From this day forward my purse has a red envelope in it. This envelope contains Scriptures regarding healing.
Selah!
Go and do the same and be noble like me, like the Berean Jews:
Acts 17:11
Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.
I will hand these Scriptures out faithfully to every person who is not listening to me or the Word of God. I will place in their hands Scriptures regarding divine health; health that God willingly suffered for to each person who is willing to truly revere Him! The choice to believe and act on the truth of God’s Word is up to them…
Selah!
Amen and amen!!
HOLY SCRIPTURES
REGARDING FALSE CHRISTIANS:
Matthew 7:21-23
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’
Ephesians 5:11-12
Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. It is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret.
1 Timothy 4:1-2
The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron.
2 Timothy 4:2-4
Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction. For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.
HOLY SCRIPTURES
REGARDING OUR COVENANT RIGHT TO HEALTH:
Isaiah 41:10
So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Isaiah 53:4-5
Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered
him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.
Matthew 8:16
When evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to him,
and he drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick.
Psalm 103:1-5
Praise the Lord, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits—who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
3 John 1:2
Beloved, I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prosper.
1 Peter 2:24
“He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.”
AND FURTHERMORE: make certain God is your only God, Lord, Savior, and Comforter!
Dear God,
I surrender to you now, right now. I am done in trying to invent a working lifestyle without you. I humble myself and call out to You. I’m done with lying, with pretending, and explaining away ungodliness…
Romans 1:18-21
The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened.
God in Heaven,
I come to You in the name of Your only begotten Son, Jesus. I have sinned. I now believe and know that Jesus is fully God, fully Man. He lived a sinless life and took all of my sickness and infirmities in His body. He died on the cross for my sins. I believe and know that He was raised from the dead so I might be saved from Hell and have eternal life in Your Kingdom with you forevermore.
Jesus, I ask you to be my only Lord and Savior. Please forgive me of my sins and wash them away with Your holy blood; never to be remembered again. Please take my sickness or any health issue I have by the stripes You endured for all mankind…
I will now strive to live my life for You to my best ability and with the help of You, Holy Spirit, I strive to seek You, study You and worship You all the days of my life, which are forever, amen!
I denounce Satan and his kingdom now and forevermore!
I also ask to be baptized in You, Holy Spirit, with the evidence of this by praying in other tongues, my heavenly language.
(To receive your heavenly language – take it by faith – just as you receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Simply start speaking syllables – do not say anything in your known language/s. It WILL come – just believe. Satan will tell you it is false – never listen to the father of lies. Pray in tongues every day!)
Thank You, God, for forgiving me, cleansing me, healing me in every way, staying with me and praying with me.
In Jesus name, I pray this, amen.
SCRIPTURAL TRUTHS:
Romans 3:21-26
But now apart from the law the righteousness of God has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished—he did it to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.
Philippians 2:12-13
Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.
Isaiah 53:4-5
Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.
1 Peter 2:24
“He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.”
Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.
Romans 10:9-10 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Acts 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
1 Corinthians 14:2 For anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to people but to God. Indeed, no one understands them; they utter mysteries by the Spirit.
DO NOT BE DECEIVED! You must continue your relationship as a child of God!
Live this way:
2 Timothy 4:7-8 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day-and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.
Hebrews 3:14 We have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly till the end the confidence we had at first.
Revelation 3:5 He who overcomes will, like them, be dressed in white. I will never blot out his name from the book of life, but will acknowledge his name before my Father and his angels.
Growing up in a home without the love for God, an invalid father, heavy financial hardships, and tremendous (sometimes dangerous) discord is always difficult. Add on to that extreme shyness, a feeling of inferiority, and some may think this girl was rejected. But God’s hand was on her and His heart was for her. Today, Ann Marie Turner has performed many great services in Jesus’ name for the love of God and man; and for herself! She has ministered in the male correctional for over ten years. Along with this website, Ann is the author of Joy Stories, Volume One and The Free Incarcerated Man. Writing about the joy of the Lord and the victory that is available for a willing soul is one of Ann’s now greatest joys! Ann’s prayer for you is to overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of your testimony. Celebrate the God of the Bible and your personal victories in Christ unceasingly! Revelation 12:11 They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.
