This morning we will
continue in our study of Br. Branham's sermon, Christ
is the Mystery of God Revealed, and we will pick up at paragraph
189. Now, brother Branham is reading from 2 Timothy 3
in this paragraph, so before we read what he has to say let's go tot he
Scriptures this morning and read it for ourselves so we can get the background
for what he will speak to us here in this paragraph 189.
Let's open our Bibles to 2
Timothy 4 and begin reading from verse 1.
2 Timothy 3:1 This know also, that in the last days
perilous times shall come. Now, contrary to some, last
days means last days. Then what Paul is speaking of in this letter here refers
to this hour. And God placed those things in there for our edification because
later on in this same chapter Paul says in verse 16: "All
scripture is given by inspiration of God, (that means it is God
breathed, or in other Words it has come forth from the mouth of God, therefore
it is "Thus Saith the Lord".) and (Paul continues) it
is profitable for doctrine", (so
first and foremost Paul let's us know that all Scripture is for doctrine, That
means for teaching. Therefore, any doctrine or teaching that is contrary to
Scripture is not from God, it's just that simple. Because if it hasn't been God
breathed, then it is man breathed. And that means it is not "thus Saith the Lord", but thus saith
man, so you don't have to pay any attention to it.
Then the Apostle Paul
goes on to say, Scripture is also "for
reproof". Now, what does that means, for reproof .
That means that scripture is also for proof, or proving the doctrine,
because that is what he is talking about here. In other Words, all you need for
evidence is God's Word which is His
Scripture. So notice Paul says first of all that ALL Scripture is for doctrine,
then he says and it is also for proving the doctrine, or for evidence that the
doctrine is God breathed, God spoken.
Then Paul adds, it is
also "for correction", and for instruction
in right-wise-ness: which means it is for instruction in how to be
rightly wise. 17 In order that
the man of God may be perfect, (that means mature) and thoroughly furnished (or equipped by the
Word) unto all good works. So the
Scriptures are given to us from God Himself to equip us for "all good
works". well, I would assume the works that I do,
said Jesus would be considered "good works" wouldn't you? And
therefore God has given us His Word, His promise that by utilizing His Word as
a tool we will possess whatever equipping that will be necessary to do all good
works.
Therefore,
without knowledge of the Scriptures how in the world do you think you could do
anything God wanted done. I mean the Scripture tells us what to do, when to do
it, and how to do it.
In fact
brother Branham had to take every vision he had back to the Scripture to see if
it was according to God's Word or not. So the only piece of equipment we need
to do all good works is not visions, but God's Scripture, His Word. Because
even Jesus said, the son can do nothing but what the Father shows him or tells
Him to do. So Jesus was dependant on God's word for his good works, and thus so
are we.
Now,
remember we are talking about the end time here, and in those last days perilous
times shall come. The Amplified version says, But understand this, that in the last days will set in
great stress and trouble hard to deal with
and hard to bear. So we are not looking at any
picnic here. We are looking at the time when as brother Branham put it, the
conditions will be seven times worse than in any other age.
From his sermon, How can I
overcome 63-0825M P:31 As I was talking
to someone the other day, said, "They're very careful, even many of the
holiness groups, not to call the Holy Ghost, 'Holy Ghost,' 'cause they identify
themselves with Pentecostals when they do that." They say, "Holy
Spirit." See? Keep from saying Holy Ghost, because the Pentecostal, common
people, just call It what the Bible says, "Holy Ghost," which
"Holy Spirit" and Holy Ghost" is the same thing. But they're
very careful about... They don't want to be identified with them tongues
speaking people, and that's the Holy Spirit Itself. See? What happened then? When
the enemy that went out under sanctification, that was washed out, returned
back and found the house not filled with the Holy Spirit, now the state of the
church has joined with the league of churches, with the World Council of
Churches; and it's a state now that connects it with Roman Catholicism and all
the rest of it; and now it's seven times worse than it was when it come out
of the Lutheranism. That's where man takes it.
So what brother Branham is saying telling us here is
that the church under Wesley had an opportunity to come up through Justification
under Luther, and swing right into sanctification under Wesley which would have
taken them up to the infilling of the Holy Ghost, but they turned it down, and
so instead of holiness bringing them to infilling of God Life, they turned away
from holiness, and today the church is seven times worse in this hour than any
other hour.
Oh, don't you see it. Homosexuality,
pedophilia right in the pulpits. You say that's the catholic church,
well, brothers and sisters I can show you that it's all pulpits, all tables
have become vomit. I can show you every organization that claims to be
Christian, has the same thing, because it is that organizational spirit that
brings death.
Because brother Branham and brother Vayle taught us
that the same spirit that brings adultery is the same spirit that brings
idolatry. Because it's the same spirit. And in our
city of Cincinnati we have had Catholic priests who
are pedophiles, and Pentecostal ministers who are pedophiles, and Baptist
ministers who are pedophiles, and Cincinnati is a very conservative place, so I
would hate to think of what's taking place out there in California and other
Liberal areas of this nation.
And what About England? They
turned down Holiness under Wesley and look at that nation today. As brother Branham said, you couldn't even
walk in the park without having to turn your head from the sexual acts that
were taking place in the parks.
And you say, well, preacher that may be Catholics and
Baptists and Pentecostal preachers, but they don't have this truth we have. we've go the Message, praise God. To borrow a phrase of
brother Vayle's. "Oh fap!!!" Don't be so naive. There are pedophile
ministers right in this Message.
A good friend of mine years ago told me about young
boys who were molested by so called clergy men right in this Message out there
in California, and also in England. So
don't tell me that can't happen in this Message when it already has. We are living in perilous times
brothers and sisters. It's time to take
our stand and avoid such people as that.
2 Timothy
3:1 This know
also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. Then Paul
goes on to say in verse 2 " For men shall be lovers of their own selves,(in other words, they will be more self centered in the
last days than at any other time in history)
covetous, (You know what that means? It means to be marked by inordinate desire for wealth or possessions or for
another's possessions) and not only that but they will be boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers,
false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the
power thereof: from such turn away. 6 For of this
sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with
sins, led away with divers lusts, 7 Ever learning,
and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood
Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate
concerning the faith. 9 But they
shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was. 10 But thou
hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering,
charity, patience,...
Listen, brothers and sisters, the Message Bible version says, 3: 1-5 Don’t be naive. There are difficult times ahead. As the end approaches, people are going to be self-absorbed, money-hungry, self-promoting, stuck-up, profane, contemptuous of parents, crude, coarse, dog-eat-dog, unbending, slanderers, impulsively wild, savage, cynical, treacherous, ruthless, bloated windbags, addicted to lust, and allergic to God. They’ll make a show of religion, but behind the scenes they’re animals. Stay clear of these people. 6-9 These are the kind of people who smooth-talk themselves into the homes of unstable and needy women and take advantage of them; women who, depressed by their sinfulness, take up with every new religious fad that calls itself “truth.” They get exploited every time and never really learn. These men are like those old Egyptian frauds Jannes and Jambres, who challenged Moses. They were rejects from the faith, twisted in their thinking, defying truth itself. But nothing will come of these latest impostors. Everyone will see through them, just as people saw through that Egyptian hoax.
And what I do not understand is that people flock to
these churches where the pastors have been caught in adultery, or caught in
homosexual activities, right in this Message, and yet Paul said, "Stay
away from them". Avoid them, yet the people like dumb driven cattle close
their eyes to such vulgarity and plod along like dumb driven cattle. Don't you
realize birds of a feather will flock together?
You say, oh, come on preacher, that isn't Bible? Well,
it might not be written that way in the Bible but it was good enough for a
vindicated prophet to say it, because it's a truism in nature.
Separation
from unbelief 55-0228 P:42 You know you're kinda
judged by your associates. Birds of a feather flock together. Did you ever hear
that? That's the truth. That's an old proverb, but it's the truth. You never
did see any buzzards and doves having any fellowship with one another. Their
diet's different. And just as sure as you get God in you heart, you're diet
will be different too. You'll come out from the things. You know why the dove
can't eat with the buzzard? The dove is a different make-up; he doesn't have
any gall. He can't digest them things. And that's the way it is. The old crow
set out there. The old crow though, he can set on a dead carcass, eat half the
day, go out eat wheat the other half of the day. But the dove can...?... and eat wheat, but you can't eat the dead carcass.
Now, in reading from
brother Branham's sermon, Christ is the Mystery of God Revealed, in PP. 189
he said, "The
prophet Paul said, "In the last days the people would be heady,
high-minded, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God; truce
breakers, false accusers, incontinent, and despisers of
those that are good. (Heady, high-minded. See?),
having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof; from
such turn away; for this is the kind that goes from house to house and
leads silly women laden away with divers lust (with shorts and bobbed
hair, and everything else)--led away with divers lust," and say,
"It's all right. Ah, they're crazy out there. Don't pay no..." See? Never
able to come to the knowledge of the Truth. And these men resisted it as Jannes and Jambres withstood
Moses: Able to produce a church and produce a group of people just as...
But their folly will be made manifest when Jesus takes His Bride and
sets Her up here and says, "This is Her,"
and away He goes with Her. That's right. Their folly will be made known.
190 Look it.
Having the revelation of this secret made known to them by His grace. Look,
when this great revelation, revealed mystery is made known to you, then you
denounce all the things of the world. Now, I'm going to come back once
again. I was not going to say it; I'm pointing to it; the tape's sake. And those that are going
across... This tape goes
across the world. See? You women that claim you've got the baptism of
the Holy Ghost, and not the audacity to let your hair grow out, when the Bible
condemns it and said a woman, a man's got a right to put away his wife in
divorce if she bobs her hair, honored before God to do so. The Bible says if
she cuts her hair, she dishonors her head. And it's a common... just, you know,
what any old common thing it is for a woman to even pray with bobbed hair. See?
Wearing shorts and these slacks and things. The Bible
said any woman that'll... ("Oh..." you say...), that put on a garment
that pertains to a man, it's an abomination to God: filthy, dirty, like
an old stinking bathroom somewhere. See? Oh, my, the filth in God's
nostrils. And then you try to pray or offer up prayers in such a thing as
that, God refuses it, turns it away. That's right.
And that brings me to the point I would like to focus
on this morning. Brother Branham is talking about Holiness here, people
professing to have the Holy Ghost but there's no evidence of it in their life.
Look brothers and sisters, God Life is Holy Life. That
is why it is called the HOLY Spirit, or the HOLY
Ghost. Because it is HOLY life, and yet I could name at least a dozen men right
in this Message who pastor churches who have been caught in sexual sin while
either holding the office of pastor, or are pastors now, who did so while in
this message. Sexual sin, adultery, homosexual sin, pedophiles, and yet are
leaders? Oh God come Lord Jesus.
When men who have been in the world that were living
legally as polygamists because their country permitted the practice, when they
came to this message, the pastors didn't know what to do, so brother Vayle
said, let them come to church but hold no office, and do not sing any specials,
or have any form or leadership in the church. Because we do not want the people
to think that those sinful ways are permissible in the house of God. yet we got preachers in this message, married
two or three times, preachers swapping wives, preachers, taking the wives of
others and living with them as they would their own wife, preachers, committing
adultery, homosexuals, pedophiles, and you know what the Bible says?
The people love to have it so, for like people like
priest. Listen, I believe the Blood of Jesus can truly cleanse a man from
sexual sins as good as any other sin, but a man that has committed adultery
against his wife? Or worse yet leave off his wife for another man? or worse yet for young boys? Show me one place in the Bible
that a man was ever used by God who was a homosexual or pedophile? They were
stoned to death. Not appointed and anointed.
Now, the real problem that brother Branham is laying
out here is that people think they got something when they have nothing. But Brother Branham said, "I can call the Name of Jesus over you and
baptize you; that doesn't make it so. But when once that Holy Spirit really
genuine Word comes into you (the Word, Jesus), then, brother, the message is no
secret to you then; you know It, brother; It's all lit up before you.
Hallelujah. Praise be to God. Amen
And he also said, And God will a vindicate every man that'll
speak the truth. God will prove it to be so. Man can say anything, that doesn't
make it so. But when God speaks, that makes it so.
And he also said, Any man can come here and say this or that.
Well, you can say anything you wish to, if you wish to be a false witness. But you
saying it doesn't make it so. But when God speaks it, that vindicates it to be so.
And he also said, Just because the people claim something to be true, that
doesn't make it so; it's what God said and proves that it's true. Prove all
things. Hold fast to that which is good.
And
he also said, just because you say you believe it,
that doesn't make it so.
And he also said, A unbeliever can carry these denominational credentials, but that
isn't what makes him a sent man from God. They walk around here with all
kinds of books under their arms around through the country, and this Jehovah's
this, and So-and-so, and all this, the other, but that doesn't make it so.
No, sir. Jesus said, "You test them by the
Word." That's right. The Word: "These signs shall
follow...""Do you believe in power of God?" "Oh, but our
church teaches that the..." "Our church," that has nothing to do with it. It's
what God's Word says. See?...?... "Heavens and
earth will pass away but My Word shall not pass away." The living Word
spoke by a living God must be in a living being. And how can a man or a woman
that claims that they have the baptism of the Holy Spirit deny what God said in
His Word? Because it's the very Holy Spirit that wrote the Word is the very
Holy Spirit that's speaking through the person. That's right. It's got to be. He
cannot--He cannot do it. Yes, sir.
Now, listen, I just showed you what a
vindicated prophet said concerning people who believe this or that, or who
confess this or that, and he said just because you say it doesn't make it so.
Now, you might be wondering why I am
hitting this so hard this morning. Well, I will tell you. I got an email this
week from a brother overseas and he wanted to know if confession and repentance
were the same thing. And as I went to studying the
Scriptures and Message concerning that it dawned on me that many people confess
there sin and think by confessing their sin that it is now under the blood of
Jesus Christ, but as brother Branham said, Just saying it doesn't make it so.
Let me share what brother Branham said about that.
Now, brother Branham taught us that the word confess means to say the same thing. And in fact that
is what the Greek word Homologeo says, Home meaning Same and logeo meaning Word.
From his sermon Only believe - 61-0427 confess means "say the same thing.
And from his sermon, Jesus Christ the same -
58-020718. Now, confess means, "Say the same thing."
But the best quote I found was from 59-0628E - "Questions And Answers where he
said, When you accept Christ as your Saviour
and are then ready for baptism in water, you have not yet been converted;
you're only believing unto repentance.
"Conversion" means "to
be changed."
But the problem is that many people confess their sin
and think it is now under the blood and then they go of and do the same thing or
other sin and just keep going back to the alter time and time again.
Like the Catholic who goes to confession. he thinks because he confesses it and gets it off his chest,
that he is forgiven by just saying some simple words. But confession and repentance are two
different words and they mean two different things.
If just saying mere words of confession absolves you
of sin, then Christ died in vain, and his blood is of no effect. Jesus said,
"Go and sin no more" That's
repentance. Because repentance means a change of the heart.
A conversion is made when the heart is changed.
Brother Branham said you are not converted yet, you are only believing unto repentance.
How many millions of men have been arrested for crimes
and even thow they confess their sin, they still get
the penalty for that sin. But we have people who think, it's under the blood
because I say so, yet they are not changed, they are not converted, because
they have not truly repented.
In the old testament to rid themselves from their
guilt for their sin they would bring an innocent lamb and cut it's throat and
felt that warm blood run over their cold hands. In doing so they were
confessing their sins openly, brothers and sisters, but the blood of bulls and
goats could never take away their sinful nature, and so they had to repeat
their confession years after year after year, because they still had the same
sinful nature. Because they were born in sin to begin with.
Brother Branham said from his sermon, "The Key To The
Door" 62-1007 - I
believe that repentance, godly
sorrow; repent means "turn around, go back," you
missed the mark, "start over again." Do that first! And your baptism
in water is only an outward profession of something that's been done inside of
you, that you have accepted Christ as your Saviour.
What these quotes tell me is that confession
and repentance are two very different things. Confession means
you admit to the guilt, but that does not do away with the sin. It only
begins a process. It clears the record as guilty, but does
not place the sin under the blood. It's like the young child who get's caught with their hand in the cookie jar, and when
caught to avoid punishment he says, "I'm sorry" but then the
next chance they get it's back to the cookie jar again.
As brother Branham remarked about the blood of bulls
and goats, it doesn't change the life, or the nature, of the person. Only a
death will allow new life to enter, and that is the problem we have in this
Message is people are unwilling to totally die to self. So when they confess,
they usually try to minimize the quilt, so they confess to a lesser offense,
hoping the punishment will be lessened.
But true repentance is a change of the heart, and it
leads to conversion. Until the person is converted they still have the same
nature and thus they may not do certain kinds of sin for fear of being caught,
but it's still in their heart and unless the Holy Ghost has taken over and a conversion
has taken place, they still must reflect the nature that is within them.
The problem as I see it is that people think if a man
confesses his sin he is clear now of that sin. And don't people like to use
that phrase? It's under the blood because I confessed it. But is it really
under the blood just because you say so? Only true repentance will bring sin under the blood and clear the
sinner from his sin, because the acts of the flesh whatever they might be are
not sin, they are only attributes of unbelief.
The
actions of the body are only manifestations of the condition of your heart. To
confess when you are caught is not repentance. Confess only means "to say
the same thing." In other words, when you make your confession you are
only admitting to your guilt. That is all you are doing, admitting your guilt.
But the world is replete with criminals who admit to their guilt, and they
serve the time, but come out doing the same thing over and over again, because
there has been no conversion.
Repentance
means to change the heart. In Catholicism, many people destroy the lives of
others and then they go to the priest and say their "confession"
They "confess" their sin, and think the sin is absolved. That is just Catholic dogma.
But sin is unbelief, brother Branham said in, Jehovah Jireh 61-0209 P:53 There
is only one sin. There's only one sin; that's unbelief. Smoking cigarettes is not a sin. Committing adultery is
not a sin. Taking the Lord's Name in vain is not a sin. That's the attributes
of unbelief. That's because you don't believe, the reason you do that. See?
Sin is unbelief. "He that believeth not is condemned already."
You can't even get to first base unless you believe every word of God and call
anything else to It as though it was a lie. Amen.
Listen
brothers and sisters the Apostle Paul listed a whole lot of fruits of the flesh
and everyone of them will place you in hell.
Galatians 5:17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the
flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the
things that ye would. 18 But if ye be led of the
Spirit, ye are not under the law. 19 Now
the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these;
(1) Adultery, (2) fornication, That's the same act as
adultery but before marriage. (3) uncleanness, that means your thoughts are in the
gutter, or full of sexual. (4) lasciviousness, Notice how
these are all sexual sin. And then he says, 20 (5) Idolatry, because that is the same spirit as
adultery. Only it is manifested in chasing after false doctrine. (6) witchcraft, Now,
here is one to think about, it comes from the Greek word pharmakeia
which we get our word pharmacy from, and it means medication
("pharmacy"), i.e. (by extension) magic (literally or
figuratively):--sorcery, witchcraft. In other words altering
the natural state through medications. Taking drugs for this and for that. Taking drugs to sleep,
or for your nerves, when He said that we have peace in Christ Jesus and Jesus
said come unto me and I will give you rest. Listen, if you can't sleep, turn on
a tape and listen to the voice of God. Have nervous problems, turn on the
tapes. You don't need drugs, you need Christ. he is
the God that healeth all thy diseases. And notice we
are at the end time and the drug companies are the top money makers because deadly
drug are made legal and drug pushers are called MD's.
(7) hatred, That
one is self explanatory, and brother Branham said in his sermon, 55-1110 A Hidden Life In Christ There's
where the church is failing in one place: overcoming, overcoming temper,
overcoming difference, overcoming church prejudice, overcoming hatred.
Many people tonight who shout and speak with tongues and run
up-and-down the aisle, and hate their neighbor. That has... Brother, you're lost yet. That's hard to say, but that's the truth. Right. Overcome. You can only overcome when you...
You say, "I'm eating manna, glory to God." Yes, but look what
happens from one day to the other. You get the miss-meal cramps. Come on in
where the manna's fresh all the time. Whether your neighbor treats you right
or not, you'll love him anyhow. That's right. Whether he agrees with you
or not, you love him anyhow. That's the way you got to do it. That's the
hidden life. That's that consecrated life. That's that life that the
veils of the worlds... And you're shut off from the things of the world. You
only live in Christ. You see what I mean, church?
(8) variance, That
means being contentious and quarrelsome. You got to fuss with everyone? Your still in the flesh, brother, sister. You haven't died to
self yet. And your life is not hid in God with Christ.
(9) emulations,
That's jealousy and malice. (10) wrath, That's strong vengeful anger, wanting to
get even (11) strife, that's violent conflict
or dissension (12) seditions, That's dissension, causing
division (13) heresies,
That's denial or revealed truth like denying John 14:12 that is so apparent it doesn't even
need a revelation, Jesus said it, and as brother Branham said, if there is a
promise in the Bible it's for you. 21 (14) Envyings, painful or resentful awareness
of an advantage enjoyed by another joined with a desire to possess the same
advantage (15) murders,And we all know what murder is, but brother Branham wrote
to my Father in law, and said there are more ways
to kill a man than with just a knife or bullet, you can speak against a person
and kill his influence and we could add speaking lies against a brother is nothing
less than character assassination. (16) drunkenness, that's self explanatory (17) revellings, that means carousing looking for trouble and such like: of the
which I tell you before, as I have also told you
in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom
of God. 22 But the fruit of
the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness,
goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance:
against such there is no law. 24 And they that are
Christ's have crucified the flesh (that means you have crucified
self) with the affections and lusts. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
Therefore as we see sin can manifest in the flesh or
in self in many various actions but the intent is all the same. The main
motive or objective of sin is for self gratification or self preservation and
it usually comes through deceit or deception.
Just the same as those who handle the word of God
deceitfully, it is sin, because they believe not. when
men will knowingly take a quote from God's vindicated prophet and cut off a
part of it to make it say the opposite of what he is saying, that shows the person
is yet a sinner and is lost.
So brothers and sisters, I am afraid
many people only think their sin has been covered by the blood when in effect
their sin or unbelief still manifests itself in various fruits of the flesh.
Like a man who is caught in a homosexual
act, and blames it on the other person in order to look like a victim instead
of the sinner that he is. Or like the criminal who confesses to one crime to
hide another crime that is even worse. And that is typical in law enforcement,
and shall we say in parenting as well? And then we find them in this Message saying,
"I confessed that, its under the blood". I asked
God to forgive me so I am now clean by the blood f the lamb, hallelujah.
Well, that is not what a vindicated
prophet said when the woman came for prayer and brother Branham said, "how dare you come for prayer, when you haven't confessed
your sin". She said, "yes I have" and he
said "no you haven't, you committed adultery against your husband",
and she said, "I confessed it to God", and brother Branham said, "you
didn't sin against God you sinned against your husband. You have to confess to your
husband your sin". She said, "I
can't do that I have children, and he would leave me". Then brother
Branham told her, "don't worry sister, he's done the same thing and needs
to confess to you."
So you see too many people do not
understand that when you confess your sin it is not covered until you have
truly repented, and that means your heart has changed, and you no longer
disbelieve. Sin is unbelief.
And so I believe as John 14:12 opened up to us a better understanding of the nature
of God and of Christ, and that if we have the same nature we will do the same
things, live the same life etc. I believe as we begin to better understand the
difference between confession and true repentance which leads to a true
conversion, that in the process we are going to see ourselves become more and
more consecrated in our life before God and man. And believe me,
I do not see a rapture for any who are not consecrated which means completely
dedicated to God and His Word.
There is yet still too much Tom
Foolery going on in the lives of the people. Men still drinking socially when
God's prophet said you are not even born again if you do so. Too much picture
shows, too much fashion consciousness, too much worldliness, etc. So, we need
to look again at these fruits of the flesh and see if there be
any of them in our lives and purge them from our lives as we die to self and
let Christ live our life for us.
The Catholics say I've confessed it
and I'm absolved, but saying so doesn't make it so, and Message people say, catch
phrases like, "it's under the blood", so they don't have to deal with
the repercussions of their sin. But never forget, "what you sow you shall
also reap". and you can not undo that brothers
and sisters. God may forgive you but you will still have to reap the
consequences of the sowing that you have done.
Kill it, brothers and sisters, kill it before
it gets any worse.
Let us pray...
