Why accept Jesus in your life:
Accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior is of significant consequence. Accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior is the answer to a whole, abundant, overflowing life, which those who truly believe in Jesus celebrate daily. When human Jesus (a spirit is illegal on earth without a body) died and shed His blood on the cross, He allowed everyone the opportunity not to perish but to have eternal life. So once you accept Jesus as Lord and Savior, you are responsible for bringing this message to light by sharing this Good News with those who do not know Jesus. Therefore, accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior means fulfilling on earth what Jesus finished on the cross. "Just as You commissioned and sent Me into the world, I also have commissioned and sent them (believers) into the world." -John 17:18 "I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works because I am going to be with the Father. You can ask for anything in my name, and I will do it so the Son can bring glory to the Father. Ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it! If you love me, obey my commandments." -John 14:12-15 Again, Jesus finished ("It is Finished" -John 19:30) when He died and shed His blood on the cross. He allowed everyone the opportunity not to perish but to have eternal life. Therefore, you do not accept Jesus as Lord and Savior to go to Heaven; you accept Jesus to do "even greater works" than He did. You accept Jesus as Lord and Savior for Earth. You accept Jesus as Lord and Savior to go and tell the world the Good News of Salvation. Again, you do not accept Jesus as Lord and Savior to go to Heaven; Heaven is simply a reward for obedience, just like hell is a reward for disobedience. How to accept Jesus in your life: NOTICE: Accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior means more than calling Jesus "Lord! Lord!" "Not everyone who calls out to me, 'Lord! Lord!' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter." -Matthew 7:21 Many have said, "I accept Jesus as Lord and Savior," but few have believed it. Therefore: "The seed that fell on the footpath represents those who hear the message about the Kingdom and don't understand it. Then the evil one comes and snatches away the seed that was planted in their hearts." -Matthew 13:19 1) "God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." -John 3:16 "Anyone who believes in God's Son has eternal life. Anyone who doesn't obey the Son will never experience eternal life but remains under God's angry judgment." -John 3:36 2) What does it mean to believe in Jesus? Believing in Jesus is the key to accepting Jesus. Believing in Jesus can be defined with two words: TRUST JESUS. Most people think that simply saying, "I accept Jesus as Lord and Savior," is the beginning and the end of accepting Jesus in one's life. No. You must genuinely believe: Are you willing to trust Jesus so profoundly that you will give your entire (whole, complete) life to Him, which means walking with Him wherever He leads you? Moreover, are you willing to trust Jesus regardless of how complex or uncertain life gets? Furthermore, are you willing to trust Jesus when you do not understand where he is leading you? Most importantly, are you willing to trust that Jesus is in control and has a divine purpose for your life, regardless of the surrounding circumstances? Bottom line: Are you willing to obey Jesus? "Anyone who believes in God's Son has eternal life. Anyone who doesn't obey the Son will never experience eternal life but remains under God's angry judgment." -John 3:36 NOTICE: Believing in Jesus (i.e., Obeying Jesus, Trusting Jesus) is how you receive the abundant, overflowing life He promised you in John 10:10: "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life, and have it in abundance [to the full, till it overflows]." 3) Who is Jesus? Jesus is God and became man because a spirit is illegal on earth without a body. "In the beginning [before all time] was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself." -John 1:1 "So the Word became human and made his home among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness. And we have seen his glory, the glory of the Father's one and only Son. -John 1:14 4) Jesus died on the cross for every human. "Christ suffered for our sins once and for all time. He never sinned but died for sinners to bring you safely home to God. He suffered physical death, but he was raised to life in the Spirit." -1 Peter 3:18 5) After Jesus' death, He was resurrected from the dead. "He was handed over to die because of our sins, and he was raised to life to make us right with God." -Romans 4:25 6) If a man or woman rejects Jesus, they reject God. God never intended for humans to enter hell. Hell was "prepared for the devil and his angels" (Matthew 25:41). However, if a man or woman REJECTS JESUS, THEY REJECT GOD. Therefore, the man or woman chooses the devil. Since the man or woman chose the devil (including the devil's earthly disciples, primarily narcissistic men), he or she decided to FOLLOW the devil and his human disciples into the "eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels." NOTICE: God does not send any man or woman to hell. Instead, God gives men and women a choice of whether or not to go to hell. Before you proceed any further, STOP. NOTICE: Only children of God will enter Heaven! 7) Heaven will Not be as Crowded as Christians believe. "Those who have been born into God's family do not practice sinning because God's life is in them. So they can't keep on sinning because they are children of God. So now we can tell who are children of God and who are children of the devil. Anyone who does not live righteously and does not love each other does not belong to God." -I John 3:9-10 NOTICE: The devil's weapons are division and hate. Division and hate are rooted deeply among religious people, especially Christians. Therefore, ANYONE who refuses to walk with Jesus (live righteously), thereby carrying division and hatred, is not a child of God but a child of the devil. Children of the devil, regardless of what they call themselves (e.g., Evangelical, Baptist, Pentecostal, Catholic, Jew, Muslim), will never enter heaven. "Anyone who does not live righteously and does not love each other does not belong to God." "If you hate each other, you are murderers, and we know murderers do not have eternal life." -1 John 3:15 The devil sends his narcissistic human disciples with weapons of prejudice (bigotry) for one purpose only: to get you to hate. Hence, regardless of how someone acts towards you or what someone says or does to you, do not allow them to bring you down to their level to hate them. Many people who called themselves Christians have died with hatred (e.g., self-proclaimed race superiority, division, segregation, and judgment of others) in their hearts. They ignorantly believed, even while on their deathbed, that "Heaven is my reward." God does not wipe a person's life clean simply because they die. Therefore, when you take your last breath, the hatred you carried in your heart toward another person, whether in silence ("Hiding hatred makes you a liar; slandering others makes you a fool." -Proverbs 10:18) or vocal, follows you. So, to be clear and to eliminate the excuse of "But Lord! Nobody told me," GOD DOES NOT ALLOW HATRED, SELF-PROCLAIMED RACE SUPERIORITY, DIVISION, SEGREGATION, OR JUDGMENT OF OTHERS TO ENTER INTO HIS KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. ONLY CHILDREN OF GOD WILL ENTER HEAVEN. NOTICE: Hell will be jam-packed with hateful people (the devil's children) who today think that "Heaven is my reward." 8) Forgiveness is the Law of the Kingdom of God. Before God forgives your sins, YOU MUST "first forgive anyone you hold a grudge against." "But when you are praying, first forgive anyone you are holding a grudge against, so that your Father in heaven will forgive your sins, too." -Mark 11:25 "For if you forgive others when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you refuse to forgive others, your Father will not forgive your sins." -Matthew 6:14-15 One of the top reasons why prayers remain unanswered is unforgiveness. Accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior requires a yes answer to your prayer. Jesus DOES NOT answer the prayers of those who refuse to forgive. NOTICE: Accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior is more rewarding than getting even with someone you hold a grudge against. If you love and have forgiven everyone, proceed. HOWEVER, IF YOU REFUSE TO LOVE AND FORGIVE, PROCEEDING FURTHER IS POINTLESS BECAUSE GOD WILL NOT FORGIVE YOU. 9) Accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior requires you to repent. "Now repent of your sins and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped away." -Acts 3:19 "I openly proclaimed first to those at Damascus, then at Jerusalem and throughout the region of Judea, and even to the Gentiles, that they should repent [change their inner self—their old way of thinking] and turn to God, doing deeds and living lives which are consistent with repentance." -Acts 26:20 NOTICE: Repentance is NOT simply saying, "I repent." Repentance is changing your inner self—your old thinking, turning to God, doing good works, and living life consistent with repentance. BOTTOM-LINE: Repentance is turning around (180 degrees) from sin. 10) Sin has consequences. Grace DOES NOT cover sin! "God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can't take credit for this; it is a gift from God." -Ephesians 2:8 Because God saves by his grace, Christians are told and believe that God's grace also covers sin. Therefore, this is one of the reasons why Christians continuously sin without fear of consequences. "Some ungodly people have wormed their way into your churches, saying that God's marvelous grace allows us to live immoral lives. The condemnation of such people was recorded long ago, for they have denied our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ." -Jude 1:4 "God's law was given so all people could see how sinful they were. But as people sinned more and more, God's wonderful grace became more abundant" -Romans 5:20 "Well then, since God's grace has set us free from the law, does that mean we can go on sinning? Of course not!" -Romans 6:15 NOTICE: God's grace DOES NOT cover sin. God's grace ELIMINATES the excuse to sin. As people sinned more and more, God's extraordinary grace became MORE abundant (even greater or richer supply) to RESIST the temptations of sin. Consequently, God eliminated people's excuses for sin when He gave people the authority or power to RESIST the desires of sin. "When people keep on sinning, it shows that they belong to the devil, who has been sinning since the beginning. The Son of God came to destroy the works of the devil." -I John 3:8 11) Although works cannot save a person, we are "created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." NOTICE: Christians love to pray for miracles because it does not require physical effort. "Works" is a curse word in the Christian church. "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast." -Ephesians 2:8–9 Preachers realize Christians love to hear "Gift of God," "Pray, God will do it," and "No works required." So they only read Ephesians 2:8-9 to keep their members ignorant and returning to the church pews. Most preachers intentionally overlook the following verse: Ephesians 2:10, "For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." Through the pulpit, most Christians believe Salvation only involves "Yes, I accept Jesus" while standing before the preacher, praying for miracles, attending church, paying tithes, committing unlimited sins because God forgives sins, and flying off to heaven to meet Jesus to receive a reward. If someone mentions discipleship ("Good Works"), preachers revert to "You cannot earn salvation by works; it is a gift!" Truthfully, most preachers realize that Christians are lazy and self-centered, and Christians only say, "Yes, I accept Jesus," because they fear going to hell. So, just like narcissistic politicians, narcissistic preachers give the self-adsorbed people "what their itching ears want to hear" to keep them returning, hemorrhaging credit cards, checks, and cash. "For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." -Ephesians 2:10 Works cannot save us, but we are born again; therefore, we are "created in Christ Jesus to do good works." God calls us His handiwork, masterpiece, artistry, and creation. Thus, we have a specific purpose. We are NOT created in Christ Jesus to pray for miracles and commit unlimited sins; we are "created in Christ Jesus to do good works." Therefore, we are created in Christ Jesus to represent Him on earth. God's gift of Salvation spiritually transforms, renews, and empowers humans for "Good Works." Works cannot earn God's gift of Salvation, but "Good Works" (e.g., bearing fruit) result from a person receiving Salvation. NOTICE: To receive Salvation by grace through faith means something other than lazily waiting for Jesus to return. Being saved from sin or receiving Salvation means you are now an Active New Person. As a result of accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior, you live with and walk with Jesus on earth "to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." BOTTOM-LINE: Salvation is a gift from God to be revealed to the world by those who accept Jesus as Lord and Savior. Heaven is a reward resulting from Salvation. You cannot earn Salvation or work to receive it. However, the "Good Works" that "God prepared in advance for us [you] to do" begin once you receive Salvation. 12) This part is crucial: Although Jesus chose and appointed you, YOU MUST ASK JESUS TO SAVE YOU. While witnessing, many people say, "We don't know how to pray!" We respond by saying that God is your manufacturer; He created you. Therefore, He knows you inside and out. You do not have to try to b.s. God with sanctimonious prayers. Number one, it does not work! Talk to God, believing that He knows you. Romans 10:9-10: "If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God and by openly declaring your faith that you are saved." The following is a guideline for asking Jesus to become the Lord and Savior of your life. Dear Lord Jesus, I truly believe You are God's Son. I truly believe that You died on the cross for my sins. I truly believe that You rose from the grave. I want to receive You as Lord and Savior. I realize that I am a sinner, and I need forgiveness. So, I love everyone and have forgiven everyone who has wronged me in the past. I ask for forgiveness. I fully repent of my sins and turn away from them. I invite You to come into my heart and life. I will openly declare that You are Lord and Savior. I will trust and walk with You as Lord and Savior. 13) Accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior means more than saying a few words or calling Jesus "Lord! Lord!" when you need him: "Not everyone who calls out to me, 'Lord! Lord!' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter." -Matthew 7:21 Jesus is a spirit, and a spirit is illegal on earth without a body. Accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior means Jesus becomes a spirit living within you; thus, you become Jesus' mouth and feet on earth. Do not be misled by "get rich quick" or lotto Jesus ("prosperity gospel") preachers. You do not accept Jesus as your personal "Bless me" Santa Claus; it does not and will not work. You accept Jesus as Lord and Savior to DO the Father's will (God's will) on earth. "For this is My Father's will and purpose, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him [as Lord and Savior] will have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day." -John 6:40 How will the world know Jesus, believe in Him as Lord and Savior and know they can have eternal life unless you openly represent Jesus? "I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works because I am going to be with the Father. You can ask for anything in my name, and I will do it so the Son can bring glory to the Father. Ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it! If you love me, obey my commandments." -John 14:12-15 "You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to GO and bear fruit - fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name." -John 15:16 "When you produce much fruit, you are my true disciples. This brings great glory to my Father." -John 15:8 NOTICE: Accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior allows the world to see Jesus through you! Therefore, a 180-degree turn from sin and "If you love me, obey my commandments" are essential. 14) Accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior supplies you with abundant and satisfying life (whole life): "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life, and have it in abundance [to the full, till it overflows]" (John 10:10). However, you must genuinely believe Romans 10:9-10: "If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God and by openly declaring your faith that you are saved." "FOR IT IS BY BELIEVING IN YOUR HEART THAT YOU ARE MADE RIGHT WITH GOD." You must not only openly declare Jesus is Lord, but you must genuinely believe in your heart. WARNING: DO NOT SAY: Dear Lord Jesus, I truly believe You are God's Son. I truly believe that You died on the cross for my sins. I truly believe that You rose from the grave. I want to receive You as Lord and Savior. I realize that I am a sinner, and I need forgiveness. So, I love everyone and have forgiven everyone who has wronged me in the past. I ask for forgiveness. I fully repent of my sins and turn away from them. I invite You to come into my heart and life. I will openly declare that You are Lord and Savior. I will trust and walk with You as Lord and Savior UNLESS YOU TRULY BELIEVE IT. Many have said, "I accept Jesus as Lord and Savior," but few have believed it. Therefore: "The seed that fell on the footpath represents those who hear the message about the Kingdom and don't understand it. Then the evil one comes and snatches away the seed that was planted in their hearts." -Matthew 13:19 "Anyone who does not remain in me is thrown away like a useless branch and withers. Such branches are gathered into a pile to be burned." -John 15:6 15) Believers accept Jesus. Christians accept Christianity. Most Christians ignorantly took narcissistic man's twisted interpretations of Jesus as accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior. Thus, most Christians never accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior. Christianity is a religion of division, narcissism, faith with no work required, planting seeds when the harvest is plentiful, unlimited sins because God forgives sin, white conservative Jesus, hatred, lies, segregation, judgment of others, hypocrisy, misogyny, control, power, profit, and evil in Jesus' name. Christianity is simply man's plans with Jesus' name stamped with an embossed seal to look authentic. Therefore, multitudes of people will be overly shocked on Judgment Day when Jesus says: "I will have nothing to do with you! Get out of my sight, you evil people!" (Matthew 7:23). Accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior means you become an Ambassador representing Jesus, the Son of God on earth. Accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior means you become true "Doers of the Word," not followers of divisive, narcissistic men. Therefore, accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior does not mean becoming a Christian (Follower). Accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior means you are a Believer ("Doer of the Word"). 16) If you randomly said, "I accept Jesus as Lord and Savior" years ago, hoping to receive Salvation because you feared going to hell, repent and believe in Jesus today. "Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done." -Revelation 22:12 17) Would you rather hear NOW: "Not everyone who calls out to me, 'Lord! Lord!' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven," or would you rather hear on JUDGMENT DAY: "Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter?" 18) Jesus is patient. However, your time is running out! Accept Jesus as Lord and Savior. Believe in Jesus today: Dear Lord Jesus, I truly believe You are God's Son. I truly believe that You died on the cross for my sins. I truly believe that You rose from the grave. I want to receive You as Lord and Savior. I realize that I am a sinner, and I need forgiveness. So, I love everyone and have forgiven everyone who has wronged me in the past. I ask for forgiveness. I fully repent of my sins and turn away from them. I invite You to come into my heart and life. I will openly declare that You are Lord and Savior. I will trust and walk with You as Lord and Savior. Amen. Frequently Asked Questions Sent to The New Joshua Generation: BREAKING NEWS: The climate is changing because the earth is heating fast. FAQ) "When will the world end?" The New Joshua Generation - A) Any day now! FAQ) Why has hate exploded in the last few years? The New Joshua Generation - A) The end is nigh. The harvest is plentiful. God is melting all races together, and the devil and his children hate it because they realize this is the beginning of their end. The devil wants to win! The devil's weapon is hate (i.e., division, segregation). The ungodly people (i.e., white supremacists, preachers, politicians, Christians) exemplifying hate are the children of the devil. The devil is using his kids (i.e., white supremacists, preachers, politicians, and Christians) to attempt to stop God's Kingdom's growth. "So now we can tell who are children of God and who are children of the devil. Anyone who does not live righteously and does not love each other does not belong to God." -I John 3:10 Therefore, the children of the devil, regardless of what they call themselves (i.e., Christians), whether dead or alive, will never enter Heaven. Only children of God will enter Heaven! NOTICE: Hate is deeply rooted in the Christian church. Since many Christians follow dead and alive ungodly narcissistic preachers' and politicians' hateful agendas, many Christians, including the dead, are children of the devil. Thus, Heaven will not be as crowded as Christians believe. Bottom line: "Anyone who does not live righteously and does not love each other" (including Christians) is a child of the devil. Decide today: Are you a child of God or a child of the devil? The answer is not based solely on your words but on your actions. FAQ) Who is the New Joshua Generation? A) The New Church: PROACTIVE. NO FEAR. CHANGE. POWER. The New Joshua Generation is not a makeshift movement. The New Joshua Generation has replaced the lethargic, self-centered, divisive Joshua Generation, AKA Church Pew Christians. Like Jesus, the New Joshua Generation consort with Gentiles (all nations, races, and ethnicities); thus, the New Joshua Generation came to bear fruit - reap the harvest of souls, not judge people. Matthew 9:36-38, "When Jesus saw the crowds, he had compassion on them because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he told his disciples, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Therefore, ask the Lord of the harvest to send OUT workers into his field." John 15:16, "You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to GO and bear fruit-fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name." "GO and bear fruit" is not a command to go and reap or gather strawberries, blueberries, or apples. Also, Jesus is not speaking of the fruit of the spirit: love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23). The harvest is plentiful with souls in need of the Lord, Jesus. So GO and bear fruit (reap-gather the harvest souls or produce fruit). John 15:8, "When you produce much fruit, you are my true disciples. This brings great glory to my Father." Who is the New Joshua Generation? The New Joshua Generation are true disciples; the New Joshua Generation came to produce much fruit. Therefore, the New Joshua Generation will bring Great Glory to God! FAQ) Is the New Joshua Generation Christian? The New Joshua Generation - A) NO! The New Joshua Generation is not Christian. The New Joshua Generation consort with Gentiles ("world sinners"), which is unlawful in the self-centered, superannuated Christian church. Unlike Christians, the New Joshua Generation did not come to judge the world; the New Joshua Generation came to reap the harvest of souls (black, white, brown, ..., gay, straight, those for abortion, those against abortion, Jew, and Gentile), thus, healing the world. The New Joshua Generation walks with Jesus (Disciples of Jesus); the New Joshua Generation does not follow religions. FAQ) "Is Jesus a Christian?" The New Joshua Generation - A) NO! God, Jesus, and The Holy Spirit are NOT Christian or any other religion. Jesus Christ or Christ Jesus does not mean Jesus is a Christian. Also, Christ is not Jesus's first or last name. Christ means "Anointed One." NOTICE: Jesus never called the people Christians! The people called themselves Christians. The Christian church portrays Jesus as this sweet "white" mama's boy sent to deliver earthly miracles, hope, and prosperity blessings for Christians while they wait to fly off to heaven; WRONG. Today, the actual Jesus, who is ethnically a Jew (many Christians hate Jews; therefore, they despise and REJECT Jesus), would be deemed a false prophet and CRUCIFIED on cable news and social media. The actual or real "straight talk" Jesus would get in today's "social club" Christian churches' pulpits just like He did in the Jewish synagogues 2000 years ago and tell the divisive, complacent, sanctimonious, self-centered, lazy, faith no work required," racist, world-hating Christians the absolute truth that Christianity is merely narcissistic men's and women's interpretations and agendas and "I am a Christian" is NOT the key to God's favor or the key to enter heaven. FAQ) "Can a Christian go to hell?" The New Joshua Generation - A) First and foremost, Jesus never called the people Christians! The people called themselves Christians. YES, a Christian can go to hell. Regardless of what you call yourself (i.e., Christian, Jew, Muslim), "When people keep sinning, it shows that they belong to the devil, who has been sinning since the beginning. The Son of God came to destroy the works of the devil. Those who have been born into God's family do not practice sinning because God's life is in them. So they can't keep on sinning because they are children of God. So now we can tell who are children of God and who are children of the devil. Anyone who does not live righteously and does not love each other does not belong to God." -I John 3:8-10 Christianity (i.e., WHITE AMERICAN JESUS (ignorance 101), SEGREGATION, MORAL MAJORITY, THE CHRISTIAN RIGHT, CONSERVATIVE CHRISTIANITY, CHRISTIAN NATIONALISM, KKK, WHITE CHRISTIANITY, LIES, RACISM, HATRED, VIOLENCE, CHRISTIAN HOPE, CHRISTIAN BLESSINGS, CHRISTIAN PROSPERITY GOSPEL, and on and on) is a religion. God, Jesus, and The Holy Spirit are not a religion. Therefore, believing religion (man's interpretations and agendas) is the key to entering heaven is ignorant and foolish, whichever applies. Heaven will not be as crowded as Christians believe: "Not everyone who calls out to me, 'Lord! Lord!' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. On the day of judgment, many will call me their Lord. They will say, "We preached in your name, and in your name, we forced out demons and worked many miracles." But I will tell them, "I will have nothing to do with you! Get out of my sight, you evil people!" -Matthew 7:21-23 NOTICE: "Anyone who does not remain in me is thrown away like a useless branch and withers. Such branches are gathered into a pile to be burned." -John 15:6 Can Christians go to hell? Yes. FAQ) "Why does God send people to hell if God is good?" The New Joshua Generation - A) God does NOT send any man or woman to hell. God never intended for humans to enter hell. Hell was "prepared for the devil and his angels" (Matthew 25:41). However, if a man or woman REJECTS (denies or refuses to obey) Jesus, they reject God; therefore, the man or woman (including Christians) chooses the devil. Since the man or woman chose the devil, he or she decided to FOLLOW him into the "eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels." NOTICE: God does not send any man or woman to hell. Instead, God gives men and women a choice of whether or not to go to hell. FAQ) Can a person receive salvation by works? The New Joshua Generation - A) Works cannot save a person; however, we are saved; therefore, "created in Christ Jesus to do good works." By grace through faith, salvation is a gift of God. Ephesians 2:8–9, "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast." Most preachers only read verses 8-9 to keep their members ignorant and returning to the church pews. Also, lazy, apathetic, and self-centered Christians love verses 8-9. Either they do not understand the next verse (Ephesians 2:10) or intentionally overlook it: "For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." Most Christians believe salvation or being saved only involves "I do" before the preacher, going to church, committing unlimited sins because God forgives sins, and flying to heaven to meet Jesus. If someone mentions discipleship ("Good Works"), they revert to "you cannot earn salvation by works; it is a gift." Truthfully, most Christians are lazy, apathetic, and self-centered; they only say "I do" before the preacher because they fear going to hell. Ephesians 2:10, "For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." Works cannot save us, but we are saved; therefore, "created in Christ Jesus to do good works." God calls us His handiwork, masterpiece, artistry, and creation. We are skillfully crafted for a specific purpose. We were NOT created to go to church, commit unlimited sins, die, and go to heaven; we are "created in Christ Jesus to do good works" on earth. We are created in Christ Jesus to represent Him on earth. God's gift of salvation spiritually transforms, renews, and empowers humans to be utilized for "Good Works." Works cannot earn God's gift of salvation, but "Good Works" (bearing fruit, reaping the harvest, increasing God's Kingdom) result from a person receiving God's gift. To be saved or to receive salvation by grace through faith means something other than lazily waiting for Jesus to return. To be saved or to receive salvation means that you are now a new person; you are "created in Christ Jesus to do good works"; you live with and walk with Christ Jesus on earth; you now represent Jesus on earth. As a result, you are directly aligned with purpose; you can now begin taking the paths "God prepared in advance for us [you] to do." NOTICE: "For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." Salvation is a gift of God to be exemplified on earth; going to heaven is only the reward. You cannot earn salvation or work to receive it. However, the "Good Works" begins once you receive salvation, which "God prepared in advance for us [you] to do." FAQ) What is a sign that we are in the last days? The New Joshua Generation - A) In the last days, knowledge will increase: Daniel 12:4, But you, Daniel, keep this prophecy a secret; seal up the book until the end, when many will rush here and there, and knowledge will increase. NOTICE: Microsoft, Alphabet (Google), Amazon, Apple, Meta (Facebook), and other tech companies are wealthy not because they are astute but because they discovered the existing pathways to increase knowledge. God exalted Microsoft, Alphabet (Google), Amazon, Apple, Meta (Facebook), and other tech companies simply because they fulfilled prophecy. However, unknowingly to them, God also humbles those that He promotes. Because knowledge is increasing rapidly, and humans are discovering the existing avenues to improve the rapid growth of knowledge, the Davids will overcome the prototype giants (excluding Microsoft), rendering them useless or worthless in a few years. NOTICE: In the last days, leaders (what the people need) will survive. Followers (what the people want) will fail. FAQ) When will the end of the world come? The New Joshua Generation - A) Matthew 24:14, "This gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come." Daniel 12:4 and Matthew 24:14 are connected. FAQ) What is a sign that we are in the last days? The New Joshua Generation - A) There will be terrible times in the last days: 2 Timothy 3:1-5; "But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God-having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people... 2 Timothy 3:7, always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth." NOTICE: Sadly, the above Bible scriptures refer to today's Christians. FAQ) Many preachers preach, "Once saved, always saved?" So, are you always saved regardless of how many sins you commit once you are saved? If that's true, where do I sign up? The New Joshua Generation - A) No! Once saved, always saved is not valid. "Anyone who does not remain in me is thrown away like a useless branch and withers. Such branches are gathered into a pile to be burned." -John 15:6 "The seed that fell on the footpath represents those who hear the message about the Kingdom and don't understand it. Then the evil one comes and snatches away the seed that was planted in their hearts." -Matthew 13:19 "Some ungodly people have wormed their way into your churches, saying that God's marvelous grace allows us to live immoral lives. The condemnation of such people was recorded long ago, for they have denied our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ." -Jude 1:4 "Well then, since God's grace has set us free from the law, does that mean we can go on sinning? Of course not!" -Romans 6:15 "When people keep sinning, it shows that they belong to the devil, who has been sinning since the beginning. The Son of God came to destroy the works of the devil. Those who have been born into God's family do not practice sinning because God's life is in them. So they can't keep on sinning because they are children of God. So now we can tell who are children of God and who are children of the devil. Anyone who does not live righteously and does not love each other does not belong to God." -I John 3:8-10 Those who refuse to do right or love each other (white supremacists, segregationists, racists, divisionists, hatemongers) do not belong to God but to the devil. Those who refuse to recognize Jesus as the Son of God or those who refuse to obey Jesus regardless of what they call themselves (Christians, Judaism, Islam) do not belong to God but belong to the devil. Those who follow the devil's earthly disciples (narcissistic men and women, primarily preachers and politicians) do not belong to God but to the devil. Since the man or woman chose the devil, he or she decided to FOLLOW him into the "eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels." NOTICE: Once saved, always saved is not valid. Heaven will not be as crowded as avaricious pastors, preachers, and "faith leaders" lead people to believe. FAQ) What is the difference between a Christian and a Believer? The New Joshua Generation - A) Christians follow Jesus. Believers walk with Jesus. Christians build walls. Believers tear down walls. Christians reject or grudgingly accept the "harassed and helpless." Believers have compassion and help the "harassed and helpless." Christians are church members. Believers are Jesus' Disciples. Christians are servants. Believers are Jesus' friends: "You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything I have learned from my Father I have made known to you. You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit-fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name." -John 15:14-16 Christians: Jesus is my personal Savior. Believers: I cannot wait to tell others about Jesus. Christians: Church (membership) growth. Believers: Kingdom (world) growth. Believers Bear Fruit. Believers reap the harvest. The ultimate definition of a Believer is: "I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father. You can ask for anything in my name, and I will do it so that the Son can bring glory to the Father. Ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it! If you love me, obey my commandments." -John 14:12-15 Bottom Line: Believers Obey Jesus; thus, Believers are Doers. For example, the woman at the well, many from that town, believed in Jesus because of the woman's testimony (John 4:39). Therefore, Believers spread the "Good News" of Jesus Christ. Christians are self-centered. Christians are sanctimonious (self-righteous, holier than thou, hypocritical). Christians pray primarily concerning their personal needs and delusionally use apathetic excuses not to go and tell others about Jesus, "We are to separate ourselves from the world" and "We are not under the law; we are under grace." FAQ) What does the New Joshua Generation think about abortion? The New Joshua Generation - A) The New Joshua Generation came to bear fruit - reap the harvest of souls, not judge people. Abortion is between the woman and God. Abortion is NOT between the woman and politicians. Above all, abortion is not between the woman and the Christian church. Today, the Christian church is cognizant of its purpose on earth; however, they foolishly and ignorantly choose to judge and divide the world, thus rejecting Jesus. Therefore, for sane women to listen to the self-centered Christian church concerning what they can and cannot do with their bodies is preposterous. NOTICE: Next to hope, abortion and division are big business for the Christian church. After segregation was not gaining fast enough traction, abortion became another divisive money-making marketing tool for the Christian church. Decades later, instead of reaping the harvest of lost souls, the Christian church's self-centered goal is to ban abortion. However, if you mention gun control or children getting slaughtered in schools to Christians who claim to be against abortion, you are deemed an evil Democrat who wants to take away their right to kill another human being. Many Christians agree that a woman has the right to choose what she does with her own body. However, the Christian church "leaders" and politicians (primarily Republicans) continuously market abortion to Christians because division excites ignorant people and keeps money hemorrhaging into preachers' and politicians' bank accounts. Romans 16:17-18 states, "Watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way... Keep away from them. Such people are not serving our Lord Christ but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery, they deceive the minds of naive people." Bottom line: Women, abortion is between you and God, Period. FAQ) What does "I am a Christian" mean today? The New Joshua Generation - A) Unfortunately today, "I am a Christian" means, DO NOT call on us to do anything, Jesus; we'll contact you (send our expedited prayer requests) when we need you." Also, most people on the internet, on social media, on television, in your neighborhoods, and in the church pulpits that provoke political lies, division, racism, hatred, violence, and fear call themselves Christians. God calls all of these people USELESS: Romans 1:28, "Since these people refused to think about God, he let their useless minds rule over them. That's why they do all sorts of indecent things." Romans 3:11-18, "Not one of them understands or even searches for God. All have turned away; all have become useless. There isn't one person who does right. Their words are like an open pit, and their tongues are suitable only for telling lies. Each word is as deadly as the fangs of a snake, and they say nothing but bitter curses. These people quickly become violent. Wherever they go, they leave ruin and destruction. They don't know how to live in peace. They don't even fear God." "I am a Christian" has been reduced to people living immoral lives without fear of consequences. Jude 1:4, "Some ungodly people have wormed their way into your churches, saying that God's marvelous grace allows us to live immoral lives. The condemnation of such people was recorded long ago, for they have denied our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ." Romans 16:17-18 states, "Watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way... Keep away from them. Such people are not serving our Lord Christ but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery, they deceive the minds of naive people." Jesus never called the people Christians! The people called themselves Christians! "I am a Christian" is primarily narcissistic men's and women's self-centered interpretations and agendas with little "white" Jesus' name stamped in the bottom, barely readable corner. The narcissistic Christian leaders (i.e., pastors, preachers, televangelists, politicians, media) keep their simple-minded base entertained and hemorrhaging cash, checks, and credit cards by telling the stupid people "want their itching ears want to hear," such as "WHITE AMERICAN JESUS," which is IGNORANCE 101 (Jesus is a Jew), SEGREGATION, ROE V. WADE, MORAL MAJORITY, THE CHRISTIAN RIGHT, CHRISTIAN NATIONALISM, KKK, WHITE CHRISTIANITY, DIVISION, LIES, DIVISIVE POLITICS, REPUBLICANS ARE CHRISTIANS; DEMOCRATS ARE EVIL, RACISM, HATRED, VIOLENCE, CHRISTIAN HOPE, CHRISTIAN BLESSINGS, PROSPERITY GOSPEL and on and on. Since most Christians ignorantly follow the devil's disciples' (i.e., pastors, preachers, televangelists, politicians, media) divisive plans instead of fulfilling Jesus' purpose for coming to earth, thus denying Jesus, they will be shocked, puzzled, and uncontrollably upset when they discover that "I AM A CHRISTIAN" is NOT the ticket to enter heaven. Matthew 7:21-23, "Not everyone who calls out to me, 'Lord! Lord!' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. On the day of judgment, many will call me their Lord. They will say, "We preached in your name, and in your name, we forced out demons and worked many miracles." But I will tell them, "I will have nothing to do with you! Get out of my sight, you evil people!" 2 Timothy 3:1-5 best describes today's "I am a Christian": "But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God-having a form of godliness but denying its power. Therefore, have nothing to do with such people..." Unfortunately, the world ignorantly believes "I am a Christian" represents Jesus. Therefore, because "I am a Christian" exemplifies lies, division, racism, hatred, ignorance, and simple-mindedness, the world refuses to accept Jesus because THEY DO NOT want to be like Christians. WARNING: Today, "I am a Christian " affects God's Kingdom growth rate. What God allowed yesterday angers Him today! Matthew 23:3-4, "Do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. Instead, they pile heavy burdens on people's shoulders and won't lift a finger to help. Matthew 15:14, "Let them alone; they are blind guides. If the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit." NOTICE: Heaven will not be as crowded as Christians believe. FAQ) I accepted Jesus years ago. I pray every day. So, why are my prayers not being answered? The New Joshua Generation - A) Repeating "I accept Jesus" after the preacher does not mean God will answer your prayers regardless of what the preacher told you. So stamping "in Jesus' name" on your plans is a non-starter; ask Christians. Accepting Jesus or giving your life to Jesus means that you (me, myself, and I) and your agendas must move out. JESUS WILL NOT BECOME YOUR ROOMMATE. Accepting Jesus means representing Him on earth. Jesus is a spirit. A spirit is illegal on land. Therefore, a spirit needs a human body to exist on Earth. After you accept Jesus, Jesus' spirit lives within you, and you now represent Jesus; you become Jesus' mouth and feet on earth. The answered prayers or equipment for service comes after obedience and trust. NOTICE: Only accept Jesus if you are willing to obey him. God has a place for self-centered, narcissistic, or egocentric people, called the desert (trials and tribulations). "Jesus came to give you a full life." Trials and tribulations complicate life. FAQ) How do I get God's attention? The New Joshua Generation - A) If you want God's attention, stop begging him! Please, God, bless me; do not move God. Thoughts and prayers do NOT move God. God responds favorably to obedience. FAQ) Why have lies, division, racism, hatred, fear, and political violence exploded in the last several years? The New Joshua Generation - A) God calls these people USELESS. Romans 1:28, "Since these people refused to think about God, he let their useless minds rule over them. That's why they do all sorts of nasty things." Romans 3:11-18, "Not one of them understands or even searches for God. All have turned away; all have become useless. There isn't one person who does right. Their words are like an open pit, and their tongues are suitable only for telling lies. Each word is as deadly as the fangs of a snake, and they say nothing but bitter curses. These people quickly become violent. Wherever they go, they leave ruin and destruction. They don't know how to live in peace. They don't even fear God." NOTICE: To kill hidden lies, division, racism, hatred, violence, and fear, they must raise their ugly heads to be CRUSHED before the new generation emerges. FAQ) Does God choose the presidents? The New Joshua Generation - A) Yes. "God is the one who rules the whole earth." God chooses whom he wants in the Oval Office because the president influences the entire world, not just the United States. Therefore, the 2020 United States presidential election was not stolen. God hires governing authorities and FIRES governing authorities, and those who oppose will incur judgment. Romans 13:1-2, "Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. There is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore, whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who oppose will incur judgment." Isaiah 40:22-23, "God is the one who rules the whole earth, and we that live here are merely insects. He spread out the heavens like a curtain or an open tent. He brings down powerful rulers and reduces them to nothing." FAQ) I am a Pastor; why is my church not growing? The New Joshua Generation - A) First, it is not your church, but that is a subject for another day. The high probability is that the church congregation is not growing because your focus is not on bearing or producing fruit but building and maintaining membership. If you want the church congregation to grow, let the church members GO; then the church will GROW. Your "God is about to do a new thing in your life soon" Sunday's "Hope" entertainment shows "may" help the church members survive one or two Christian battles, but ground troops (disciples) win wars. FAQ) "Why are my money seeds not growing? My pastor said that my tithes and offering seeds would grow and be returned to me pressed down, shaken together, and running over." The New Joshua Generation - A) Most likely, it is where you are planting the money seeds. If you are sowing tithes and offering seeds in a church that entertains you with what you want to hear, such as miracles, hope, and God is about to do something new in your life SOON, these are clear signs of planting seeds in the desert (wilderness) or a dry place. Sowing seeds in the desert or a dry place will require God, miracles, and hope to grow because it is incredibly challenging and strenuous or impossible for seed roots to grow in a dry place. IMPORTANT NOTICE: Most Christian church "leaders" focus primarily on the amount and repeated succession of seed planting. They rarely mention fertile soil and moisture. However, fertile soil and moisture are the most critical parts of seed growth. Bottom line: Regardless of how much or how often you plant seeds, seeds require fertile soil and moisture to grow. Again, seeds need fertile soil and moisture to grow. Therefore, miracles and hope are unnecessary if you sow seeds in fertile, moist soil because God has already provided the nutrients for seed roots to grow successfully. Of course, you could stay with your church and hope for a miracle or for God to do something new "SOON," but why spend your life waiting to walk on water when you can get on a boat? Deuteronomy 28:1, If you fully obey the Lord: Blessings! Deuteronomy 28:15, However, if you do not obey the Lord your God: Curses. If your tithes and offering seeds are not growing, the reasons are likely due to two things: 1) your disobedience and 2) where you are sowing the seeds. So, repent; realign yourself with God. Next, pray for direction (direction is why Jesus prayed often) to fertile, moist soil. Then, after God reveals the fertile, moist soil to you, plant your seeds. To receive God's blessings is not complicated. The one thing God requires is obedience. Pastors, Let My people GO! 2022 FAQ) "I am a Pastor; why is my church not growing?" The New Joshua Generation - A) First, it is not your church, but that is a subject for another day. NOTICE: Church members who are stored and spoon-fed hope barely survive Sunday's church service. However, Ground Troops (Disciples) Win Wars! If you want the church to grow, let the church members GO; then the church will GROW! The Church is Death. God has Left the Building. Today, Christian churches are no longer storehouses; they have become storage places filled with decaying fruit. The praise and worship from the decaying fruit (disciples turned into church pew members) smell spoiled/rotten to God, and He has had enough. Therefore, God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit have left the Christian church buildings. The world is perishing and hungering for the True Gospel: "God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." Yet, Jesus' chosen and appointed disciples, now "social club" Christian church pew members, are stored in church buildings and spoon-fed hope. How can the world receive the Message that Saves and Empowers Us when avaricious and narcissistic pastors continuously deprive disciples of a "full life" by imprisoning them in the church building? "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life, and have it in abundance [to the full, till it overflows]." -John 10:10 Jesus came that we may have an abundant and overflowing life, yet today, the disciples are broken and dying. The church is stealing, killing, and destroying the disciples' life and purpose. The narcissistic church pastors' focus is not on bearing or producing fruit but on building and maintaining membership: 1) Church pastors switched the church's purpose from developing disciples to maintaining self-centered "social club" members. 2) Church pastors switched the church's purpose from "telling people what they need to hear" to "telling people what their itching ears want to hear" to keep the money hemorrhaging in. 3) Bottom line: The chosen and appointed disciples, now "social club" Christian church pew members, are stored and spoon-fed hope. Christians are lukewarm and powerless because "ungodly people [pastors, preachers, televangelists, and politicians] have wormed their way into churches, saying that God's marvelous grace allows us to live immoral lives." Therefore, today, the church is filled with self-righteous sinners and talk (cult politics, abortion, division, hope, miracles, seed planting, blessings, faith without works, prosperity gospel, blah! blah! blah!). Like cult politics, today's church is a for-profit business: "How do we keep these suckers hemorrhaging (sowing seeds) money." The once powerful church is LUKEWARM, therefore, POWERLESS (IMPOTENT), thus, USELESS today because decade after decade, the narcissistic, greedy, uncaring pastors, preachers, and televangelists only threw fat meat colored to look like Kobe steaks to the people; therefore, telling the simple-minded, self-centered people "what their itching ears want to hear" to keep them returning hemorrhaging credit cards, checks, and cash. Sadly, because the church "leaders" chose only to tell the simple-minded people "what their itching ears want to hear" instead of boldly directing them on how to "use well what they are given," the church has become the largest need-oriented society globally. "To those who use well what they are given, even more, will be given, and they will have an abundance. But from those who do nothing, even what little they have will be taken away" (Matthew 25:29). NOTICE: People who have a purpose and believe in their purpose will fulfill their purpose. But when people have no meaning, they will accept anything and do nothing! Therefore, God calls these people useless. "So because you are lukewarm (spiritually useless) and neither hot nor cold, I will vomit you out of My mouth [rejecting you with disgust]." -Revelation 3:16) Pastors, Let My People Go! Jesus said, "I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works because I am going to be with the Father. You can ask for anything in my name, and I will do it, so that the Son can bring glory to the Father. Yes, ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it! If you love me, obey my commandments." -Jn 14:12-15 "Just have faith; no work required." "Thoughts and prayers." "Hope." "Miracles." "Blessings are coming SOON!" "Wait on the Lord." "God is about to do something new in your life SOON." "Sow more money seeds." "The prosperity gospel." "Change hearts and minds." "DIVISION." "Trump (cult) Christian politics." "Hate the world." "Hate Liberals." "What is my purpose?" Seriously, pastors, after 2,000 Years, is this it? Is this how far you have come? You knowingly omitted, "Anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done. You sold the self-centered dying people, "You can ask for anything in my name, and I will do it," just to keep the simple-minded fools returning, sowing seed money in your bank accounts. You have succeeded if you aim to keep the dying people stupid and always in need. The church has an earthly purpose! The church has the authority to carry out its purpose! The church has the inheritance to carry out its purpose! The world is out of order; the church has the power to heal an out-of-order land. Yet after 2,000 years, "What is my purpose" is the people's question; "Sow more money seeds," "Wait on the Lord," "God will do it," "Blessings are coming soon," "the prosperity gospel," "Just have faith; no work required," "hope," "miracles," "Trump (cult) Christian politics," "hate," "DIVISION," "white American Christian Jesus." Is this it? Pastors, do you honestly believe the actual Jesus (the Jew from Nazareth), not your imaginary blue-eyed, American-invented Jesus, came to earth to die on the cross for these manufactured money-making gimmicks? God called you to gather the harvest of lost souls, yet because division, hope, and lies bring in big money from your hypnotized base, you ignore the harvest of souls and tell your base "what their itching ears want to hear" to keep the simpletons returning hemorrhaging money. Woeful, you foolish pastors, you turned your back on God. God will punish you severely and make you pay for your crimes! "You leaders of my people are like shepherds that kill and scatter the sheep. You were supposed to take care of my people but chased them away instead. So now I'll punish you severely and make you pay for your crimes!" -Jeremiah 23:1-2
The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Today, the self-absorbed "social club" dying church is no longer a storehouse (distribution center) but a storage place filled with decaying fruit. The decaying fruit smells spoiled/rotten to God, and He has had enough. Therefore, pastors, LET THE PEOPLE GO! You are spoon-feeding to death Jesus' disciples, whom you transformed into church members. God built disciples to release to the public what they have learned. However, today, the disciples are stored, therefore perishing. Regardless of how much praise and worship incense explodes from the pulpits during Sunday's service, the stench in the church building (storage place) still reeks from the foul odor of the disciples. The world is perishing and hungering for the True Gospel. But how can the world receive the "Good News Gospel" or the Message that Saves and Empowers Us when avaricious and narcissistic pastors continuously deprive disciples of a "full life" by imprisoning them in the church building? WARNING: What God allowed yesterday angers Him today. Old-fashioned church membership is affecting God's kingdom growth. Thus, dying church membership is becoming a thing of the past. Pastors, you have bankrupted God's church. Today, people should walk in "abundance" to exemplify Jesus to the world. Instead, most people walk in, "what little they have will be taken away." "To those who use well what they have been given, even more, will be given, and they will have an abundance. But those who do nothing, even what little they have will be taken away" (Matthew 25:29). Rather than teaching and directing the people how to receive an abundance, pastors tell the self-centered people "what their itching ears want to hear," such as: "God is about to do a new thing in your life SOON" to keep the people returning hemorrhaging credit cards, checks, and cash. Pastors (especially mega-church pastors), preachers, and televangelists know that most people will not adhere to sound doctrine. "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." -2 Timothy 4:3 Pastors, preachers, and televangelists know that Obedience and the Bible are tricky and complicated for people. However, those same people, especially Christians, can tell you word for word what Trump, Biden, Politicians, Fox News, MSNBC, and CNN say. Therefore, because most people, especially Christians, love "bless me" as long as it does not require work, the church's "leaders" created easy "kick the can down the road" manufactured gimmicks to keep the roaming people entertained and the money hemorrhaging in. As a result, the Christian church's "leaders" started several entertainment movements (fat meat colored to look like Kobe Steaks) one after another: segregation, abortion, faith, name it, claim it, purpose, prosperity gospel, hope, cult politics, and on and on. Today, Christians have been through the "healing" movement, Christians have been through the "faith" movement, Christians have been through the "blessed oil" movement, Christians have been through the "blessed handkerchief" movement, Christians have been through the "miracle spring water" movement, Christians have been through the "Speak to the Mountain" movement, Christians have been through the "name it and claim it" campaign, Christians have been through the "get ready, get ready" movement, Christians have been through the "money cometh" movement, Christians have been through the "Bless Me" campaign, Christians have been through the "praise and worship" movement, Christians have been through the "purpose" movement, Christians have been through the "hope" movement, Christians have been through the "ancestry" movement, Today, Christians are still going through the abortion movement; however, if you mention gun control to them, you are evil and want to take away their right to kill another human being. Today, Christians are still going through the "golden idol" (Trump) cult movement; Today, hateful, complacent, vacuous, mad, and racist Christians are still going through the "segregation" and "political" activities, "wishing" to "make America great again," meaning reverse America back to when we were in charge. Today, gambling and gullible Christians are still going through the "prosperity gospel" movement, sowing money seeds (rolling dice) in the salty desert soil, foolishly hoping for the big miracle harvest payout. The only things the above "kick the can down the road" Christian church marketing strategies have accomplished are increasing the building fund and filling the bank accounts of pastors, preachers, televangelists, and politicians pressed down, shaken together, and running over. Decades later, the tired, roaming, confused, broke (poor), and lightheaded Christians are still dizzily circling the dead, dry Wilderness, hoping and ignorantly praying that God will blink and miraculously send the plentiful harvest blessings into the deadly Wilderness! A FULL LIFE (OBEDIENCE) WAS TOO COMPLICATED FOR THE PEOPLE, SO THEY CHOSE TO FOLLOW THIEVES. "The thief only comes to steal, kill and destroy; I have come that you may have life and have it to the full." -John 10:10 WARNING: The thief is not the devil in hell. The thief is the devil's earthly disciples (i.e., narcissistic pastors, preachers, televangelists, politicians, and entertainment media). The devil's disciples have one goal: "KEEP THESE SUCKERS HEMORRHAGING (SOWING SEEDS) CREDIT CARDS, CHECKS, and CASH!" So, how are the devil's disciples carrying out their plan? 1) Tell the ignorant people "what their itching ears want to hear;" therefore, 2) keep the people stupid; thus, 3) keep the people returning, hemorrhaging money. Although Jesus suffered so the people could have a full (whole) life, they chose the devil's disciples to be their golden idols instead. The devil's disciples can have sexual affairs, cheat, steal, or shoot someone on 5th Avenue, and the hypnotic, cataleptic, or trance-like people will still follow them into hell. "Our stupidity ruins us, though we blame the LORD." -Proverbs 19:3 The devil knows why God sent his Son, Jesus, to earth. The devil's purpose is to kill God's kingdom growth! So, pastors, preachers, televangelists, and politicians, because you chose to sell your souls to the devil ("tell the people what their itching ears wanted to hear"), therefore killing the people's purposes and scattering their lives, God calls you a criminal. He will punish you severely and make you pay for your crimes. "Not everyone who calls out to me, 'Lord! Lord!' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. On the day of judgment, many will call me their Lord. They will say, "We preached in your name, and in your name, we forced out demons and worked many miracles." But I will tell them, "I will have nothing to do with you! Get out of my sight, you evil people!" -Matthew 7:21-23 FAQ) "Why does God send people to hell if God is good?" The New Joshua Generation - A) God does NOT send any man or woman to hell. God never intended for humans to enter hell. Hell was "prepared for the devil and his angels" (Matthew 25:41). However, if a man or woman REJECTS (denies or refuses to obey) Jesus, they reject God; therefore, the man or woman (including Christians) chooses the devil. Since the man or woman chose the devil, he or she decided to FOLLOW him into the "eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels." NOTICE: God does not send any man or woman to hell. Instead, God gives men and women a choice of whether or not to go to hell.

Author: Vance Fitzgerald FAQ) Can a person receive salvation by works?
The New Joshua Generation - A) Works cannot save a person; however, we are saved; therefore, "created in Christ Jesus to do good works." By grace through faith, salvation is a gift of God. Ephesians 2:8–9, "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast." Most preachers only read verses 8-9 to keep their members ignorant and returning to the church pews. Also, lazy, apathetic, and self-centered Christians love verses 8-9. Either they do not understand the next verse (Ephesians 2:10) or intentionally overlook it: "For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." Most Christians believe salvation or being saved only involves "I do" before the preacher, going to church, committing unlimited sins because God forgives sins, and flying to heaven to meet Jesus. If someone mentions discipleship ("Good Works"), they revert to "you cannot earn salvation by works; it is a gift." Truthfully, most Christians are lazy, apathetic, and self-centered; they only say "I do" before the preacher because they fear going to hell. Ephesians 2:10, "For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." Works cannot save us, but we are saved; therefore, "created in Christ Jesus to do good works." God calls us His handiwork, masterpiece, artistry, and creation. We are skillfully crafted for a specific purpose. We were NOT created to go to church, commit unlimited sins, die, and go to heaven; we are "created in Christ Jesus to do good works" on earth. We are created in Christ Jesus to represent Him on earth. God's gift of salvation spiritually transforms, renews, and empowers humans to be utilized for "Good Works." Works cannot earn God's gift of salvation, but "Good Works" (bearing fruit, reaping the harvest, increasing God's Kingdom) result from a person receiving God's gift. To be saved or to receive salvation by grace through faith means something other than standby lazily waiting for Jesus to return. To be saved or to receive salvation means that you are now a new person; you are "created in Christ Jesus to do good works"; you live with and walk with Christ Jesus on earth; you now represent Jesus on earth. As a result, you are directly aligned with purpose; you can now begin taking the paths "God prepared in advance for us [you] to do." NOTICE: "For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." Salvation is a gift of God to be exemplified on earth; going to heaven is only the reward. You cannot earn salvation or work to receive it. However, the "Good Works" begins once you receive salvation, which "God prepared in advance for us [you] to do." FAQ) Many preachers preach, "Once saved, always saved?" So, are you always saved regardless of how many sins you commit once you are saved? If that's true, where do I sign up? The New Joshua Generation - A) No! Once saved, always saved is not valid. "Anyone who does not remain in me is thrown away like a useless branch and withers. Such branches are gathered into a pile to be burned." -John 15:6 "The seed that fell on the footpath represents those who hear the message about the Kingdom and don't understand it. Then the evil one comes and snatches away the seed that was planted in their hearts." -Matthew 13:19 "Some ungodly people have wormed their way into your churches, saying that God's marvelous grace allows us to live immoral lives. The condemnation of such people was recorded long ago, for they have denied our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ." -Jude 1:4 "Well then, since God's grace has set us free from the law, does that mean we can go on sinning? Of course not!" -Romans 6:15 "When people keep sinning, it shows that they belong to the devil, who has been sinning since the beginning. The Son of God came to destroy the works of the devil. Those who have been born into God's family do not make a practice of sinning because God's life is in them. So they can't keep on sinning because they are children of God. So now we can tell who are children of God and who are children of the devil. Anyone who does not live righteously and does not love each other does not belong to God." -I John 3:8-10 Those who refuse to do right or love each other (white supremacists, segregationists, racists, divisionists, hatemongers) do not belong to God but to the devil. Those who refuse to recognize Jesus as the Son of God or those who refuse to obey Jesus regardless of what they call themselves (Christians, Judaism, Islam) do not belong to God but belong to the devil. Those who follow the devil's earthly disciples (narcissistic men and women, primarily preachers and politicians) do not belong to God but to the devil. Since the man or woman chose the devil, he or she decided to FOLLOW him into the "eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels." NOTICE: Once saved, always saved is not valid. Heaven will not be as crowded as avaricious pastors, preachers, and "faith leaders" lead people to believe. What does the devil think of today's Christian church?
The devil is a member of the Christian church! DIVISION (racism, hatred, judgment, politics, ...) is the key to the devil's success. NOTICE: Satan is fully aware that division destroys a house and kingdom. Mark 3:24-26, "If a kingdom is divided against itself, it cannot stand. If a house is divided against itself, it cannot stand. If Satan is divided against himself, he cannot stand." The devil knows the Gospel from Genesis to Matthew to Revelation and beyond. The devil knows Jesus was sent to earth to increase God's kingdom. Therefore, the devil uses his followers to create division through denominations, racism, politics, and other divisive issues to drive more giant wedges between people. Meanwhile, because today's Christian church chose to follow the devil's entertaining divisive ignorance instead of fulfilling Jesus' purpose for coming to earth, God's harvest of souls is decaying. Through the Christian church's pulpit, the devil has changed the church's focus from reaping the harvest to "bless me." Through the Christian church's pulpit, the devil has changed the church's focus from reaping the harvest to politics, Roe v. Wade, supreme court. Through the Christian church's pulpit, the devil has changed the church's focus from reaping the harvest to the Trump presidential entertainment show. Through the Christian church's pulpit, the devil has successfully changed the message from GO REAP THE HARVEST to WAIT on the Lord. The devil does not care about hope, faith, prayer, praise, worship, or the prosperity gospel. One word that keeps the devil up at night is DO. Hope, faith, prayer, praise, worship, and the prosperity gospel mean nothing to the devil; JUST DON'T DO ANYTHING. The devil's disciples will only preach hope, faith, prayer, praise, worship, and the prosperity gospel in the church's pulpits; Do is forbidden, except DO (please) give more money! The objective is to keep the people stupid. "If the people get smart (grow up), they will leave us." Therefore, the devil and his disciples deliberately tell the people "what their itching ears want to hear" to keep them returning hemorrhaging cash. Although Jesus was sent to earth to increase God's kingdom, today's lukewarm, neither hot nor cold divisive Christian church maintains the devil's fruitless kingdom. The devil has the Christian church heading downward on autopilot while he deceptively has them believing they are heading toward heaven. The devil is the MASTER of deception. The devil cannot CHANGE one thing; however, the devil is THE MASTER of diverting stupid people away from their purpose. NOTICE: The devil knows Jesus was sent to earth to increase God's kingdom. The devil's sole purpose is to kill the harvest. He is using the Christian church to carry out his plans. After 2000 years, is this it?
You have a purpose! You have the authority to carry out your purpose! You have the power to carry out your purpose! You have the inheritance to carry out your purpose! Yet after 2000 years, "What is our purpose" is your question; hope, and "Our thoughts and prayers are with you" is your message! Is this how far you have come? After 2000 years, is this it? Because you believed after I left that I was coming back soon and the world was ending, you've done nothing but wait to go to heaven. I did not come to earth to die on a bloody cross to produce a society of roaming, blind on my way to heaven, miracle seekers. I came to earth to create an authoritative team of doers that will go, bind, and loose throughout all nations. The harvest is plentiful because I saved everyone from sin when I died on the cross. How can the sinner accept this "Good News" if you do not go and tell them? Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give everyone according to what he has done. FAQ) What is the difference between a Christian and a Believer? The New Joshua Generation - A) Christians claim to follow Jesus. Believers walk with Jesus. Christians build walls. Believers tear down walls. Christians reject or grudgingly accept the "harassed and helpless." Believers have compassion and help the "harassed and helpless." Christians are church members. Believers are Jesus' Disciples. Christians are servants. Believers are Jesus' friends: "You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything I have learned from my Father I have made known to you. You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit-fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name." -John 15:14-16 Christians: Jesus is my personal Savior. Believers: I cannot wait to tell others about Jesus. Christians: Church (membership) growth. Believers: Kingdom (world) growth. Believers Bear Fruit. Believers reap the harvest. The ultimate definition of a Believer is: "I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works because I am going to be with the Father. You can ask for anything in my name, and I will do it so that the Son can bring glory to the Father. Yes, ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it! If you love me, obey my commandments." -John 14:12-15 BOTTOM LINE: Believers Obey Jesus; thus, Believers are Doers. For example, the woman at the well, many from that town believed in Jesus because of the woman's testimony (John 4:39). Therefore, Believers spread the "Good News" of Jesus Christ. Christians are self-centered and sanctimonious (self-righteous, holier than thou, hypocritical). Christians pray primarily concerning their personal needs and delusionally use apathetic excuses not to go and tell others about Jesus, such as, "We are to separate ourselves from the world" and "We are not under the law; we are under grace." Christians detest the word DO, especially when it comes to them doing anything. However, they turn cartwheels in the church pews when the preacher says, "God is about to DO a new thing in your life SOON!" Christians deem you a prophet if you "tell them what their itching ears want to hear." However, if you mention " WORK, " you are the devil or a false prophet. Therefore, Christians' unspoken but widely known slogan is, "DO NOT call on us to do anything, Jesus; we'll contact you (send our expedited prayer requests) when we need you." Finally, and sadly, most Christians ignorantly believe if they haphazardly repeat a few words after the preacher, that qualifies them to enter heaven regardless of whether or not they obey Jesus or how many sins they commit. Warning: Woefully, many Christians listen to ungodly preachers and believe God's grace is a license to sin. "Some ungodly people have wormed their way into your churches, saying that God's marvelous grace allows us to live immoral lives. The condemnation of such people was recorded long ago, for they have denied our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ." -Jude 1:4
"God's law was given so all people could see how sinful they were. But as people sinned more and more, God's wonderful grace became more abundant" -Romans 5:20 "Well then, since God's grace has set us free from the law, does that mean we can go on sinning? Of course not!" -Romans 6:15 NOTICE: God's grace does not cover sin. God's grace ELIMINATES the excuse to sin. As people sinned more and more, God's wonderful grace became MORE abundant (even greater or richer supply) to RESIST the temptations of sin. Consequently, God eliminated people's excuses to sin when He gave people the authority or power to resist the desires of sin. "When people keep on sinning, it shows that they belong to the devil, who has been sinning since the beginning. The Son of God came to destroy the works of the devil." -I John 3:8 God always has a backup plan. Christians, God will fulfill His Purpose with or without you. The New Joshua Generation has arrived to fulfill what you, the Joshua Generation Christians, were chosen and appointed to do. The New Joshua Generation has been scouting the land. Therefore, the two keys to the New Joshua Generation's success are: 1) The New Joshua Generation knows Jesus' purpose for coming to earth, and 2) The New Joshua Generation will FINISH it. God is now exposing His backup plan, The New Joshua Generation.
The ones who say, "despite the bad reports, we can take the land." The New Joshua Generation is springing up just like the bamboo tree. The roots of a bamboo tree stay hidden beneath the surface for several years. The ground to the natural eye looks normal, but a vast firm root proliferates beneath the surface. Today, people will notice that this once bare spot has tall grass growing above the ground. But then, the people will wonder where did it come from. Did someone plant it? The self-centered people were so busy praying for their personal needs that they did not see the New Joshua Generation's root system that has been aggressively growing for years under their noses. "We may make many plans, but the LORD will do what he has decided." -Proverbs 19:21 As with Jesus, today, the people will be puzzled: Where did this New Joshua Generation come from? What seminary did they attend? Where did they study? What church are they affiliated with? What is their denomination? Who sent them? This New Joshua Generation is not Christian; they consort with world sinners, which is unlawful in the sanctimonious Christian church. They did not come to the church Pastors and sit and wait for years to be sent out; they just went; this is unlawful in the Christian church. This New Joshua Generation doesn't talk like us, act like us, or pray like us. We say, pray; They say, Go! We say, let God do it; They say, we can do it. We say, sow seeds; They say, reap the harvest. What is this new teaching? Joshua Generation Christians, before you cast doubt on The New Joshua Generation, Before you call The New Joshua Generation blasphemers, Before you call The New Joshua Generation false prophets, Before you ATTEMPT to throw The New Joshua Generation off a cliff, Before you ATTEMPT to crucify The New Joshua Generation, Remember SEVEN things: 1) Some seeds, when stepped on, die. Other seeds, when stepped on, spread. So, therefore, the more you step on The New Joshua Generation, the more We Spread! 2) If you reject Jesus ("Why do you keep saying I am your Lord when you refuse to do what I say?"), you reject God. 3) The New Joshua Generation is here to fulfill what you, the Joshua Generation, were chosen and appointed to do. 4) The New Joshua Generation is here to fulfill what you, the Joshua Generation, refuse to do. 5) The New Joshua Generation's audience is NOT you, the Joshua Generation sinners; The New Joshua Generation's audience is the world's sinners. 6) God always has a backup plan; God will fulfill His purpose with or without you, Matthew 17:1-2, "Jesus took Peter, James, and John, LED them up on a HIGH MOUNTAIN by themselves, and He was TRANSFIGURED before them." WHY DIDN'T JESUS TAKE ALL OF THE DISCIPLES? God's Next Level does NOT require the masses. Instead, God's Next Level requires GO, NO FEAR, CHANGE, and POWER! NOTICE: God's Next Level does NOT require Christians (followers). God's Next Level requires Believers, those who will walk with Jesus. 7) God's Next Level does NOT require Joshua Generation Christians; God's Next Level requires GO, NO FEAR, CHANGE, and POWER. The New Joshua Generation will explosively bring the New Church to light because the overwhelming power of the Holy Spirit is with us. The New Church will not reject Jesus like the Joshua Generation Christian churches; the New Church will be Jesus' witness to the ends of the earth. The New Church is a Disciples' Church, not a members' church. The New Church will not shamelessly beg the naive sheep for money like the Christian church; the sinners will hand over the wealth to the New Church. The New Church will not ignorantly pray for God to bless them like the Christian church; the New Church will bring glory to God (fulfill Jesus' earthly purpose) by bearing fruit in the harvest. The New Church will not send the people on their way with "our thoughts and prayers are with you" like the Christian church; the New Church will open blind eyes and heal the sick through the Holy Spirit. The New Church is not for the fearful! The New Church is not for the lazy. The New Church is not for the weak. The New Church is not for the hopeful. The New Church is not for the prosperity gospel miracle seekers. The New Church is not for complacent, sanctimonious, and self-centered people. The New Church will not wander the dead, dry wilderness, year after year, praying for the harvest blessings to miraculously rain down upon them. Instead, the New Church will cross over into the abundant promised land, gather the harvest of souls and enjoy the benefits of the promised land. The New Joshua Generation will be prosperous and successful because the Lord our God will be with us wherever we GO! NOTICE: The Climate is Changing because the Globe is Warming. FAQ) When will the end of the world come? The New Joshua Generation - A) Matthew 24:14, "This gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come." Matthew 24:14 and Daniel 12:4 are connected. FAQ) What is a sign that we are in the last days? The New Joshua Generation - A) In the last days, knowledge will increase. Daniel 12:4, But you, Daniel, keep this prophecy a secret; seal up the book until the end, when many will rush here and there, and knowledge will increase. NOTICE: Microsoft, Alphabet (Google), Amazon, Apple, Meta (Facebook), and other tech companies are wealthy not because they are astute but because they discovered the existing pathways to increase knowledge. God exalted Microsoft, Alphabet (Google), Amazon, Apple, Meta (Facebook), and other tech companies simply because they fulfilled prophecy. However, unknowingly to them, God also humbles those that He promotes. 1 Samuel 2:7, "The LORD sends poverty and wealth; he humbles, and he exalts." Ecclesiastes 2:26, "To the person who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge, and happiness, but to the sinner, he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God!" Because knowledge is increasing rapidly, and humans are discovering the existing avenues to improve the rapid growth of knowledge, the Davids will overcome the wealth-creating prototype giants (excluding Microsoft), rendering them useless or worthless in a few years. WARNING: In the last days, leaders (what the people need) will survive. Followers (what the people want) will fail. FAQ) What is a sign that we are in the last days? The New Joshua Generation - A) There will be terrible times in the last days. 2 Timothy 3:1-5; "But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God-having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people..." WARNING: 2 Timothy 3:7, "always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth." Sadly, 2 Timothy 3:1-5 and 7 refer to today's Christians. If you are looking for the New Joshua Generation, these are the groups to seek out first:
"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." "Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted." "Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth." "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled." "Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy." "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God." "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God." "Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." "Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven; for in the same way, they persecuted the prophets before you." -Matthew 5:3-12 NOTICE: A Christian mega-church or mega-following does not mean God is in the midst; it simply means thousands of self-centered "social club" members are receiving "what their itching ears want to hear," such as "God is about to do something new in your life SOON" or "Lord! Lord! Bless Me!" "Not everyone who calls out to me, 'Lord! Lord!' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter" (Matthew 7:21). Thus, most Christians will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Why the Christian Church is not growing: 1) The Christian church has switched its purpose from developing disciples to maintaining self-centered "social club" members. 2) The Christian church has switched its purpose from "telling people what they need to hear" to "telling people what their itching ears want to hear." 3) Bottom Line: The Christian church is not growing because the chosen and appointed disciples, now "social club" church pew members, are stored and spoon-fed hope. Therefore, 4) The Christian church has become the largest need-oriented society globally. FAQ) My Christian church said that my money tithes and offering seeds would grow and be returned to me pressed down, shaken together, and running over. So why are my money seeds not growing? The New Joshua Generation - A) Most likely, it is where you are planting the money seeds. If you are sowing tithes and offering seeds in a ministry or church that preaches or focuses on miracles, hope, or God is about to do something new in your life SOON, these are clear signs of planting seeds in the desert (wilderness) or a dry place. Sowing seeds in the desert or a dry place will require God, miracles, and hope to grow because it is incredibly challenging and strenuous or impossible for seed roots to grow in a dry place. IMPORTANT NOTICE: Most Christian churches focus primarily on the amount and repeated succession of seed planting. They rarely mention fertile soil and moisture. However, fertile soil and moisture are the most critical parts of seed growth. Bottom line: Regardless of how much or how often you plant seeds, seeds require fertile soil and moisture to grow. Again, seeds need fertile soil and moisture to grow. Therefore, miracles and hope are unnecessary if you sow seeds in fertile, moist soil because God has already provided the nutrients for seed roots to grow successfully. Of course, you could stay with your Christian church and hope for a miracle or for God to do something new SOON, but why spend your life waiting to walk on water when you can get on a boat? God always gives you a choice. Deuteronomy 28:1, If you fully obey the Lord: Blessings! Deuteronomy 28:15, However, if you do not obey the Lord your God: Curses. "The thief only comes to steal, kill and destroy; I have come that you may have life and have it to the full." -John 10:10 NOTICE: If lack and need are part of your life, the reason is highly likely where you are standing or whom you are standing with. Why the Christian Church is not growing: "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few." -Matthew 9:37 Today, the world is lost, confused, unsure, unclear, perplexed, disoriented, bewildered, in turmoil, and "plagued with wasting disease, fever, and inflammation." In the past, the Christian church utilized its God-given power to heal an out-of-order land. "If My people would Humble Themselves, Pray, Seek My Face, and Turn from their wicked ways, I will forgive them and HEAL their land" (2 Chronicles 7:14). However, today's "social club" Christian churches are IMPOTENT because they chose to follow "the thieves that steal, kill and destroy." Through pastors, preachers, televangelists, politicians, and disobedient people, the Christian church is powerless to do anything except "kick the can down the road" with TALK (politics, hope, prosperity blessings, false prophesying, lies, ...). As with the world today, Christians are roaming, confused, unsure, unclear, perplexed, disoriented, bewildered, in turmoil, and "plagued with wasting disease, fever, and inflammation." Instead of the Christian churches' leaders boldly preaching the accurate word of God (i.e., repentance, ...), they tell their wandering, confused, unsure, unclear, perplexed, disoriented, and bewildered base "what their itching ears want to hear" (i.e., "God is about to do a new thing in your life, soon!") to keep them returning, hemorrhaging cash. "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." -2 Timothy 4:3 Because Christians refuse to listen to anything other than "what their itching ears want to hear," the Christian churches' pastors and preachers tried to change Jesus' purpose for coming to earth from increasing God's Kingdom (gathering the harvest of souls) to prosperity blessings for self-centered Christians. The Christian churches tried to take the miracles that Jesus gave as a sign for world sinners to believe and name and claim the miracles for Christians. Woefully, two things the Christian churches' pastors and preachers were successful in doing: 1) they took the gifts or service equipment (blessings) provided to reap the harvest of souls and claim them as gifts to their ministries, 2) they took the disciples that "Jesus chose and appointed to go and bear fruit" and imprisoned them in the church buildings. WARNING: The devil's purpose is to kill God's purpose for sending His Son, Jesus, to earth. The devil is using the Christian church to carry out his plan. Through the devil's disciples (narcissistic pastors, preachers, politicians, ...), the Christian church has become storage houses (wilderness, dry places) for Jesus' disciples instead of storehouses (distribution centers). The harvest is plentiful. The harvest of souls is ripe for gathering, and Jesus' disciples' purpose is to reap or gather the harvest. The church's purpose is to train Jesus' disciples and be a distribution center to send the disciples out into the world to reap or gather the harvest. As the disciples bear fruit or bring the harvest of souls into the distribution center, the distribution center serves as an expedited training center. Immediately after the expedited training period, the church (the distribution center) sends Jesus' newly trained disciples out into the world (harvest) to gather or bear more fruit - fruit that will last. "Just as You commissioned and sent Me into the world, I also have commissioned and sent them (believers) into the world." -John 17:18 "You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit-fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name." -John 15:16 "I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father. You can ask for anything in my name, and I will do it, so that the Son can bring glory to the Father. Yes, ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it! If you love me, obey my commandments." John 14:12-15 "When you produce much fruit, you are my true disciples. This brings great glory to my Father." -John 15:8 "I, the Lord, have cursed those who turn from me and trust in human strength. They will dry up like a bush in salty desert soil, where nothing can grow." -Jeremiah 17:5-6 Written in 2000:
Thus, you have become USELESS. If your power came from self-proclaimed race superiority, hatred, fear, lies, and division, today, racism, hatred, fear, lies, division, and ignorance will defeat you. Furthermore, God sends poverty and wealth; if your stored wealth is from lying, cheating, and stealing, today, it "will be handed over to the one who pleases God." Likewise, God humbles and exalts; thus, if you are the head, regardless of how hard you fight to keep the power, today, you will become the tail. Additionally, because the prosperity gospel is the wilderness people's "god," today, money will flow through their hands like the hot desert sand. Moreover, because pastors, preachers, televangelists, politicians, and the media are the wilderness people's "gods," today, "they will call to Me, but I will not answer; they will look for Me but will not find Me." Joshua Generation Christians, you can cross over and take possession of the new land (reap the harvest of souls) or die in the wilderness. "I, the Lord, have cursed those who turn from me and trust in human strength. They will dry up like a bush in salty desert soil, where nothing can grow." -Jeremiah 17:5-6 |
