Be Separate from the World Says The Lord

Be Separate from the World Says the Lord

Rom 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
Rom 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

2Co 6:17 Wherefore Come ye out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, And touch no unclean thing; And I will receive you,
2Co 6:18 And will be to you a Father, And ye shall be to me sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

As we’ve seen in our other writings, most of America’s “Christians” live by an evil system that is by its nature an offense to God. Taking advantage of the poor is called “good stewardship”. The fatherless are left to fend for them selves for the most part. Widows and mothers with children whose husbands have left them are demonized if they seek help from the government.

The wealthiest corporations are given every economic advantage and the middle-class, or what is left of it, is being mercilessly squeezed out of existence until there are only the rich and the poor. Wars are endlessly fought leading to millions of innocent deaths and massive profits for the same wealthy, based on lies. Privatization and deregulation have led to obscene profits and business practices that anyone with a conscience should be ashamed of. Worse yet, very soon these actions will lead to terrible hardship for all but the wealthiest.

The Churches have conformed to the American way of doing business and their success is now based on numbers, similar to corporate balance sheets. Still, most in the “Church” don’t grasp that they are faraway from Christ and in grave danger of being shut out of the Kingdom forever!

Most in the Church say “God bless America” as if there is some reason why He should? Most in the Church say “God bless our troops”, as if God would want them to be successful in killing innocent civilians whose only crime is living on top of land with large amounts of oil or natural gas. Most in the Church say “God bless Israel” as they continue to criminalize preaching the Gospel to its own citizens and commit the most heinous crimes against the Palestinian people.

Most in the Church will not listen to what we are saying; just dismiss us as fringe elements. They’ll go to their Churches on Sunday and get a pep-talk from their financial advisor, masquerading as their Pastor, about how God wants them to be rich.

2Ti 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
2Ti 4:4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

We, as believers and Disciples of Christ should know that riches are a hindrance to our relationship with God, not a blessing, but spurred on by apostate leaders in the Church, who excite the lusts of the flesh within them, many “Christians” are seeking material gain and not Spiritual:

Jas 4:3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may spend it in your pleasures.
Jas 4:4 Ye adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whosoever therefore would be a friend of the world maketh himself an enemy of God.
Jas 4:5 Or think ye that the scripture speaketh in vain? Doth the spirit which he made to dwell in us long unto envying?

As the “Christian” gets farther and farther from the True Gospel, and closer and closer to conforming to the world, he/she hears the voice of the world and it shuts out the Word of God, unless it can be twisted into supporting the lusts of the flesh. The “Christian” starts to believe things like: We should be rich and we need to store up wealth here on earth, war is acceptable and God is on our side as we democratize and “Christianize” the world for Christ, we need to form political groups so we can get laws passed to “Christianize” America, We need bigger Churches and wealthier ministries to prove how blessed we are…

Slowly, over time, following the lusts of the flesh and not the Holy Spirit, being lovers of themselves and not the truth most “Christians” are serving Mammon and not God. They don’t want to hear that we are to forsake the lusts of the flesh and pick up our crosses and follow Jesus, no; they want to hear endless promises of prosperity and that before things get too bad here on earth they’ll be raptured away. In short, the time has come when most “Christians” will not endure sound teaching; they can no longer hear the leading of Christ. As a result when we are called to come out of this evil system and be with our Lord and Savior forever they won’t hear it:

Rev 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
Rev 18:5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.

Instead they’ll be the ones spoken of by Christ in the following warning:

Mat 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father who is in heaven.
Mat 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy by thy name, and by thy name cast out demons, and by thy name do many mighty works?
Mat 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Praise our Heavenly Father and His only Begotten Son, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for it’s not too late! Repent from serving the world and not the Lord and listen to and live by His Commandments on how to live:

Mat 6:19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal:
Mat 6:20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth consume, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
Mat 6:21 for where thy treasure is, there will thy heart be also.
Mat 6:22 The lamp of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
Mat 6:23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is the darkness!
Mat 6:24 No man can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
Mat 6:25 Therefore I say unto you, be not anxious for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than the food, and the body than the raiment?
Mat 6:26 Behold the birds of the heaven, that they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; and your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are not ye of much more value then they?
Mat 6:27 And which of you by being anxious can add one cubit unto the measure of his life?
Mat 6:28 And why are ye anxious concerning raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
Mat 6:29 yet I say unto you, that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Mat 6:30 But if God doth so clothe the grass of the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
Mat 6:31 Be not therefore anxious, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
Mat 6:32 For after all these things do the Gentiles seek; for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
Mat 6:33 But seek ye first his kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Mat 6:34 Be not therefore anxious for the morrow: for the morrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

Amen! Read the entire Sermon on the Mount, Mat chapter 5-7, read it again and again, for in it Jesus lays out how we are to live, yesterday, today and forever! And if we follow it we’ll not be conformed to this world. Think on it when so called Christian leaders are trying to twist its simple and beautiful meaning into something that serves the lusts of the flesh, and in refusing to go along with them know that you are doing the Will of God, you are storing up treasures in Heaven, The Lord Almighty will be a Father to you, and receive you as His sons and daughters!

God bless you and yours,

disciple
