Sexual Perversions are Endangering Your Soul

Sexual Perversions are Endangering Your Soul 

*This is a mature subject; I did my best to be tasteful, but reader discretion is advised.*

As you have noticed, from time to time, I will interrupt going through the Bible with writings on miscellaneous topics.  I felt very strongly this morning that God wanted me to write on the topic of sexual sin.  I had a very clear vision of a meme with a list of sexual sins in boxes with scripture verses under each one; I did my best to recreate what I saw.  

I am of the belief that sexual topics should be kept private (it is even often uncomfortable for me to write about it on my marriage blog), but when God says to speak out, He always gives me the boldness I need.  Therefore, this blog is not meant to be scandalous, but I am being obedient to the Holy Spirit's prompting. 

God created us to enjoy this life, but we need to stay within the boundaries He created.  Not to take away our fun, but to protect ourselves and especially to protect others.  Sexual sins can lead to diseases, even some forms of cancer.  When a baby is created due to sin, the innocent child often suffers by being murdered through an abortion.  When someone takes the choice of consent away from another person, that person struggles throughout their life with feelings of unwarranted guilt, fear, depression, and even sometimes turns into an offender themselves. 

Just as we must be careful when participating in any pleasurable activity to follow the rules or risk our life or someone else's such as skydiving, rafting, horseback riding, or even driving a vehicle, we need to follow God's rules for purity, or we will risk our spiritual life.

Before I get into the list, I want to be clear this is not about being judgmental.  In fact, I am writing this from a heart of compassion as I fully believe that the majority of sexual perversions exist because the offender is also a victim of sexual violence, and/or severe parental neglect.  Without allowing the healing power of The Holy Spirit to mend their broken circumstances, most continue the cycle of abuse, and the victim becomes the predator.  There are also sexual sins that are lifestyle choices, and not the result of abusive trauma. Perhaps they were not physically abused but were spiritually neglected and learned to live without boundaries.  They still need Jesus to set them free of their sins.  Don't we all? 

These sins are not listed in any kind of order, just as they came to my mind.  As you read through this list and can relate to any of these, please repent, give up your sins, and seek Christian counseling. God forgives and can restore, so ask for His cleansing power to wash you clean inside and out. If you are a violent offender, do the right thing and turn yourself in to the police. True repentance means allowing yourself to be punished for your crimes. 

(1 John 1:9, AMP) If we [freely] admit that we have sinned and confess our sins, He is faithful and just [true to His own nature and promises], and will forgive our sins and cleanse us continually from all unrighteousness [our wrongdoing, everything not in conformity with His will and purpose].

I also want to say that some of you may just think about such things but feel your soul is not in danger if you never act on your fantasies.  However, that is not what the Bible teaches.  We will all be very much judged on our thoughts. If you are struggling with even thinking about sexual sins, repent and get victory over it now before you cross a line that can never be uncrossed. Because this will already be a long writing, rather than expand more on that, here is a link to my writing, "Is the abundance of your heart dark and crooked?" https://thankful-julie.blogspot.com/2025/11/is-abundance-of-your-heart-dark-and.html  I will also be including several more links as I write.

When the woman in the New Testament was caught in adultery, He did not tell her it was okay to keep sinning.  He told her to in John 8:11 to "Go and sin no more."  And when David in the Old Testament was confronted by God about his affair, he did not make excuses but deeply repented and even wrote at least one Psalm about his contrition. May we pray this same prayer as needed. (Please read all of Psalm 51.)

(Psalm 51:1-4 & 7-12) Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me. Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.

Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow... Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.

I will admit, I am torn whether or not I should break down each sin one by one and expand upon them, but I would pretty much be repeating myself by telling you that each and every sin requires admitting you have a problem, repenting of your sins, and DAILY seeking the Holy Spirit to help you overcome your addictions. What I have decided to do is list at least one scripture for each and, if I have a link that either my husband or I have written on that topic, I will include it.  Please prayerfully consider this list and if you see yourself in one or more category, please seek help from The Holy Trinity before it is too late.  

(1 Corinthians 10:13) There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

Lust: God created a lot of beautiful people, and simply admiring someone else is not a sin.  But when you dwell on that person and have sexual fantasies about them, you cross a moral line. The ONLY person it is not a sin to sexually fantasize about is your spouse. Otherwise, even Jesus said lusting is as serious a sin as having sex outside of marriage.

(Matthew 5:27-28) [Jesus said,] "Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart."

The sin of lust is what drives all the other sins listed below. So first, you need to admit you are allowing yourself to be controlled by lust, repent, and ask the Holy Spirit to help you overcome.  The Power of God id the ONLY way you will ever find complete victory over sin and/or heal from someone else having harmed you. 

(1 John 2:16) For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is NOT of the Father, but is of the world.

(1 Corinthians 6:9-11) Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators... nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites... will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.

Pedophilia: This is the only subject I am going to expand upon because it so breaks my heart and it is a huge reason why God has been and will continue to judge this world.  There is so much to say on this issue, but I am going to do my best to keep it brief.  This writing is not meant to be a distracting commentary about what we have all read in the news, but I will quickly mention it because while Jeffrey Epsetin and Ghislaine Maxwell may be the extreme cases we have all read about, they are not that unique.  The reason why they were so wealthy is because they had a huge client list that was worldwide. The rich and powerful paid them to rape females and males under the age of 18 (and even some over) and easily got away with it for several decades.  As well as the majority of their powerful clients that are still walking free. This type of crime has been swept under the rug for centuries; the blameless victims are made to feel guilty and often threatened with violence against their families if they tell.  They are paid off large sums of money and threatened with jail time if they speak out.   

As I said, this the purpose of this writing is not to be a commentary, but to point out the sins that are sending people to hell. Therefore, this topic is about the offender.  And as I mentioned above, most offenders started off as victims.  It is why this crime increases all the time.  Think of it this way: if 1 offender harms 2 children, and those 2 children grow up to harm 2 more, you now have 3 offenders instead of 1, and now 7 when those 4 victims harm 2 more each.  Yet most harm a lot more than 2 each as it becomes an addiction and one person can harm dozens or more, and more and more offenders are created.

Of course, many people do break the cycle of abuse, and I praise God for their courage to heal and not harm.  If you have been a victim, please break the cycle. There is never any shame in seeking counseling, and us usually necessary to help heal the past. The Holy Spirit will always give you strength to overcome your pain as well as to overcome the desire to transfer your crimes onto another person.

(1 Timothy 1:8-10) Now we know that the law is good, if one uses it lawfully, understanding this, that the law is not laid down for the just but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for... the sexually immoral, men who practice homosexuality, enslavers... and whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine.

(Deuteronomy 22:5) A woman shall not wear anything that pertains to a man, nor shall a man put on a woman’s garment, for all who do so are an abomination to the Lord your God. (**NOTE: This does not mean it is a sin for women to wear pants as neither men nor women wore pants when this was written, but for men to dress like women and vice versa for the sake of wanting to look like the opposite gender rather than who God created them to be.**)

Masturbation: (1 Corinthians 9:27) But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.

(1 Corithians 7:9, AMP) But if they do not have [sufficient] self-control, they should marry; for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.

Affairs or any Other Sex Outside of Marriage: (Proverbs 6:32) Whoever commits adultery... lacks understanding; He who does so destroys his own soul. 

(Hebrews 13:4) Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge.

Wearing Provocative Clothing: This may not be a sin that sends you to hell, but it is still a sin and very displeasing to the Lord for a woman or man to wear revealing clothing that whether for vanity, sexual titillation, or both. And yes, absolutely relates to the topic of lust because if you are dressing to get the opposite sex to admire your body, that is encouraging lust. 

(1 Timothy 2:9-10) In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety... But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.

Pornography: I read this staggering statistic just today in March 2026: "The global pornography industry generates about $100 billion in annual revenue, with the U.S. market alone contributing roughly $13 billion. This figure represents the combined income from all forms of adult entertainment, including online platforms, subscription services, and related products... The industry’s revenue has grown steadily since the early 2000s, rising from about $45 billion in 2000 to $100 billion in 2022... Projections suggest the global market could reach $117 billion by 2030...The pornography industry is a multi‑hundred‑billion‑dollar global business, with the U.S. as its largest market, and it continues to grow steadily in both revenue and profitability."

The dangers of Pornography," written by my Husband and Me https://thankful-julie.blogspot.com/2025/12/the-dangers-of-pornography-written-by.html

These verses at the end all cover a wide range of sexual immorality listed in this blog as well as other Perversions such as bestiality, S & M, swinging in marriages, incest, and others I am sure I am not aware of.  I have edited the verses to just include the sexual sins listed in the verses, but you can read the entire reference on your own:

(Matthew 19:16-21) And, behold, one came and said unto [Jesus], "Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?:

And He said unto him, "...if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments."

He saith unto Him, "Which?"

Jesus said, "...Thou shalt not commit adultery..."

(Revelation 20:11-12 & 21:7-8) And I saw a great white throne, and Him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.  But ...the abominable... and whoremongers... shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

(Galatians 5:16-26) This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. 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. But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness [feeling or revealing an overt sexual interest or desire]... 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. But the fruit of the Spirit is... temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 

Exodus Chapter 14 (And Beyond): Post-Miracle Murmurings

Exodus Chapter 14 (And Beyond): Post-Miracle Murmurings

 In Exodus 14, God keeps His promise and makes a way for the Israelites to be set free from slavery.  However, almost as soon as Pharaoh agrees to release them, he quickly changes his mind about letting them go. As soon as they reach the formidable Red Sea, they quickly begin to panic and fear they are about to be recaptured. 

(Exodus 14:10-14) And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and they were sore afraid: and the children of Israel cried out unto the Lord. And they said unto Moses, "Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness... For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness."

And Moses said unto the people, "Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever. The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace."

God helps the Israelites escape the Egyptians through His miraculous parting of the Red Sea and they are able to escape through the middle by walking through it! Pharoah has already begun his pursuit, and his armies are taking full advantage of the dry seabed.  Yet, as soon as they are all in the middle of the sea, God causes the water to return to its natural state, and the entire army is drowned! 

In Exodus 14:30-31 it says, "Thus the Lord saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the seashore. And Israel saw that great work which the Lord did upon the Egyptians: and the people feared the Lord, and believed the Lord, and his servant Moses."

Even after God performed one of the mightiest miracles in the Bible for them by parting the Red Sea, it was not enough.  They were already dissatisfied and complaining.  I am sure that there were plenty of grateful people among them, as God always has a remnant of True followers of Him but notice how quickly the majority of the Israelites forget how mighty the hand of God is. Beginning with the above passage from verses 10-14 and continuing throughout the entire story of Moses (and well beyond), the Israelites were constantly murmuring against God.  There are too many passages to list them all!  Just one example:

(Exodus 16:2-3) And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness: And the children of Israel said unto them, "Would to God we had died by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, and when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger."

Already they are failing to believe that God will continue to take care of them.  No matter what God does for them, they grumble.  God sends miraculous manna from heaven to feed them, they murmur.  So God sends them quail (Numbers Chapter 11).  But he also sends a plague as punishment for their hateful attitudes.  This is a repeated pattern.  Moses has to frequently intercede for them so that God is not as angry.  This continues until Moses' death and continues beyond throughout the Old Testament.  

Actually, post-miracle murmurings continue still today with almost everyone that has ever lived! 

I can speculate that their murmurings were more than just a passing whine-a-thon that we all go through but were fueled by anger and willful rebellion.  God knows how deep our complaints go.  Whether it's just a shallow, "I wish I didn't feel so sick," kind of thought to a much deeper and darker, "How dare you allow such a thing to happen God!"  We refuse to see God's mighty hand is always with us and focus on our own vanity and pride.   

I can easily admit that I can be just as ungrateful and disrespectful to the Holy of Holies.  Instead of focusing on what God has done to show His love, I focus on present circumstances.  God had graciously been teaching me more and more to be focus more on His love and not on my own flesh.  The more I do so, the more and more I love and trust Him!  His love alone is miracle enough to keep me satisfied! 

Dear Jesus, please forgive me for all of my murmurings and may I remember to be grateful for your love alone!   

Visions of the Great Falling Away: Ichabod! Written by my Husband

 

Visions of the Great Falling Away: Ichabod!

Written by my Husband (Mel)

A number of years ago, the Lord spoke to me in an audible voice, he said, “Ichabod! It bears worth repeating, Ichabod!” I asked the Lord what he meant, and he replied, “The churches are dead.” I said, “Surely you have a few that are not dead?” and he replied, “I have a few.” The word Ichabod means, the glory has departed (1 Samuel 4:21-22). God’s Word teaches that before the coming of the Lord there will be a great falling away (apostasy).

(2 Thessalonians 2:3) Let no one deceive you by any means; for [that Day will not come] unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition.

If there were a pre-tribulation rapture, I doubt if 1% of Americans would be raptured. It is a blessing that the rapture/second coming of Christ occurs after the Tribulation period (Matthew 24), as Jesus told us. The Tribulation will be a time of purging (purification) for the true church. When Christians do not have electricity, then they will have the sin of television and internet pornography taken away from them.

There is much compromise in the lives of those who claim to be believers. One of the biggest sins, is that of television shows and movies. Television is full of violence, sex, murder, the occult, as well as swearing, profanity and using God's name in vain. God does NOT give GRACE for consuming this vile mess. He will give grace to those who repent and stop watching this garbage. You may say that your pastor, as well as everyone you know watches television. That doesn't make it right because everyone else consumes it. Noah and his family were the only ones that God did not destroy in the flood. It is a good thing that Noah did not go along with the crowd, or we would not be here today.

God's grace is sufficient for those who are truly saved and walking in the light. Salvation begins with true repentance. Repentance means that you hunger and thirst after righteousness and desire to grow in Christ. It also means you are sorry for the old sinful ways of your past and now are putting your faith in Christ. It is God's desire for you to grow in him and allow his Holy Spirit to transform you into a new creation.

When a person is truly saved, they are born again. Your sins are 100% forgiven and your slate is wiped clean. Your spiritual garments are washed clean and made white by the blood of Christ. You are saved by grace alone according to the finished work of Christ who made atonement for your sins. You walk perfectly before him because of the blood of Christ, as long as you walk in the light, and not darkness.

In regard to salvation, the righteousness of Christ is imparted to you. However, God's Word teaches us that we must keep our garments clean, and they can become defiled through unfaithfulness to Christ. God's Word also states that our names can be blotted out of the Book of Life. A lukewarm church will be vomited out of God's mouth (Revelation 3). Without holiness no man shall see the Father according to Hebrews.

Christ told the woman caught in adultery that her sins were forgiven her, then he told her to go and sin no more. We are living in the last days and the great falling away from the truth is here. Most Christians will not endure sound doctrine but prefer to have their ears tickled with man pleasing doctrines. The biggest deception is the greasy grace doctrine. Churches are serving up spiritual junk food to their congregations and people demand it. I have met many people who claim to be saved; however, they told me they were living with their partner unmarried. They would also use the worst profanity, and some would even use God's name in vain and tell dirty jokes while claiming to know the Lord. Sadly, this is not a few, but many.

The churches have replaced the teaching of true grace with greasy grace. Preaching against sin, and teaching holiness, has been replaced with the grace for everything without repentance doctrine. We are not to be joined to the harlot (Mystery Babylon), but to be faithful to Christ.

If you love and know Christ, you will keep his commandments and no longer walk in darkness.

(1 John 2:3-6) And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.

(John 8:11-12) She said, "No man, Lord." And Jesus said unto her, "Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more." Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, "I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life."

(Luke 13:27) But He shall say, "I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity."

(John 8:34-35) Jesus answered them, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever."

(Romans 6:16) Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness?

(2 Timothy 2:19) Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.”

(1 John 3:6) Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him.

(1 John 3:9) Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.

Many within the modern church will not endure sound doctrine because they desire to be men pleasers, rather than God pleasers. Therefore, God has given them over to believe the lie, because they desire darkness rather than light. The apostasy is the sinful bondages within the lives of believers, as well as the compromising grace message that empowers their sin. I have had many dreams, visions, as well as, words concerning sin in the life of believers, and this is God’s number one concern. I understand that many people don’t like my teachings on holiness, but this issue is more important to God than end time preparation or anything else.

In Romans chapter six, Paul taught that once we come to Christ, we are not to continue in sin. Paul was speaking of habitual sins, which lead to bondage. We either are slaves to sin, or free in Christ, if we pursue righteousness. Christ said that any tree, which does not bear good fruit, will be cut down, and thrown into the fire. Paul also said, to come out from among them and to be separate saith God, touch not the unclean thing and I will receive you (2 Corinthians 6:17-18) and Peter said to be holy, as He (God), is holy (1Peter 1:15-16). Most Christians are products of our culture and are indistinguishable from the world. Pastors are more concerned with not offending their flock for the sake of tithes, than preaching the truth of God’s Word.

Many churches are failing to teach people the need to be filled up with his Holy Spirit in order to live in holiness. The Holy Spirit will sanctify you, (set you apart from the world). However, you must make the conscience effort to yield your will to God's Spirit through obedience to scripture. Unless you are born again you will Not inherit the kingdom of God. The Spirit will give you the power to walk in the Spirit and not after the old flesh nature. He will bear good fruit in your life as well. You cannot do this by your own merit. It is only through the Spirit that you can master the flesh.

The Lord gave me a dream concerning the spirit that is now at work in many churches, that is leading his flock astray. I dreamed that I was visiting a mega-church and I understood that the Pastor was a Christian celebrity, as well as on television. He had many soothing words that people found most appealing. Then his wife ran to the front of the church screaming, “My husband doesn’t love me! My husband doesn’t love me!” The Pastor’s wife was very dark in appearance due to being covered in sin. She fell to the floor and began to go into convulsions. I then ran forward to try to save her since I am trained in first aid, as well as CPR. However, she let out another scream of anguish, and then died. Then I turned to her husband and I noticed that he was smiling. Her husband then said, “I’m glad that she is dead!” I felt the Spirit of the Lord come over me and I commanded the Spirit of the False Prophet to come out of him! The Pastor then fell to the floor growling, and said, “No!” Then the Pastor began to say repeatedly, “I hate her! I hate her!” I continued to command the spirit of the False Prophet to come out of him and he took on the appearance of a human- beast hybrid. I then called for the entire church to witness the spirit of the False Prophet that had been deceiving them through unsound doctrine.

The apostate Pastor’s wife was the church that her husband was leading astray. The false prophets and pastors are leading God’s flock astray, because they refuse to address the sinful bondages that are leading many religious people to hell. Most people trust their church leadership to instruct them with sound doctrine, but this trust is misplaced. It is very important to study God’s Word for yourself, as well as to pray that God will grant you understanding. The time has come for believers to separate themselves from the dead churches and to seek God for a personal relationship. God is not into religion, but desires holiness from his children. The wages of sin is death, but Christ offers grace for sins that are truly repented of. If you know Christ, you will be set apart (saint or purified one) from the world.

A number of years ago, the Lord showed me the church as an unfaithful bride, and he said, “Divorce.” The Lord made it very clear that sinful bondages that are not repented of, will lead to spiritual death (divorce). The Lord spoke to me in an audible voice and said, “I am warning my children to get out!”

This word was followed by a dream. I dreamed that I was in a convenience store and that nothing worked right, the gas pumps, food machines, as well as everything else within the store was malfunctioning. I then noticed that the lid was off the drink machine, and it was almost empty; there were also three, half-eaten bags of Fritos in the drink. I said, “This is nasty,” I then removed the drink machine and put it in the trash outdoors. Then an older man walked into the store, and he said that nothing worked right. The angel of the Lord then answered him and said, “The authorities are on their way.”

As I stated previously, the Lord refers to the harlot churches of the end times as Mystery Babylon. Babylon is a term synonymous with wickedness (Revelation 18:4-5). The convenience store in my dream was symbolic of the churches who are serving up spiritual junk food. The almost empty drink machine, with three half-eaten bags of Fritos in it, is the greasy grace doctrine taught by most churches. The gas pumps that do not work are symbolic of an unholy spirit, which has replaced God’s Holy Spirit. It is time to come out of Babylon!

In another dream, I was standing next to an angel outside of a church building. I noticed the stone church building looked Gothic in appearance and we proceeded to walk inside. The angel showed me various different rooms or sanctuaries within this building. Each room was a different Christian denomination or fellowship. I understood that the church building that we were in was a Roman Catholic Church, and the Protestant denominations and fellowships were her offspring. The RCC is the mother of all harlots and the other churches (her offspring) are harlots, as well. In other words, the sinful bondages within the lives of those who profess to know Christ is spiritual adultery (Revelation 17:1-15).

Next, the Angel led me into one of the rooms and he pointed to a glass display case that had wax figures in them that represented the persecution of true Christians by the church throughout the ages. It displayed true Christians being burned at the stake, as well as killed in other ways, by the Protestant reformers. It also displayed the drowning of the Ana-Baptists in barrels. The angel said, “This is the history of the apostate church.”

I was then standing within an Assembly of God church, very similar to ones that I have attended in the past. The angel walked me down the aisles and pointed to the people sitting in the pews. I noticed that everyone was dressed in wedding garments, the men in tuxedos, and the women in white wedding dresses with veils. However, many were dead rotting corpses still wearing wedding garments, seated next to living people throughout the congregation. I noticed that around sixty percent of the congregation were dead corpses, and around forty percent were alive. Since the dead corpses were still wearing wedding garments, this is an indication that they were once born again, but now they were dead in their sins. Christ said that those who endure unto the end, shall be saved.

In another dream, I was looking into a prison and I witnessed Christians all dressed in orange prison jumpsuits. I knew many of these people from Bible study groups that I formerly attended, but they were all prisoners of sin. One man that I recognized was a leader in a very large mega- church. The Lord told me to reach into the prison and pull them out. I understood that the only way to free them was by teaching them the truth about repentance and sanctification through the Holy Spirit.

No one is perfect, but we must press forward and pursue righteousness without shrinking back. There is grace for sins that have been repented of. God’s Word states, that we must be born again, in order to be saved. It is true, that God blots out all of our sins, when we truly repent and turn from them. However, we must become a new creation in Christ, by allowing God’s Holy Spirit to do his perfect work of sanctification in us. Without holiness, no man shall see the Father.

Exodus 2:1-10: Moses, A Miraculous Beginning

Exodus 2:1-10: Moses, A Miraculous Beginning

Before I delve farther into the book of Exodus, I want to make this plea with you: Please skip all the "religious" movies about Moses as they are all inaccurate, some worse than others.  If you want an accurate picture, just read the Bible instead.  Hollywood changes the Biblical details and all the gaps they try to fill in are not necessary to see God's mighty hand on the life of Moses or any other person from the Bible.  Hollywood is full of every filth the Bible speaks against, so why let it be your history teacher?  Instead, let the Bible be your guide through history. Don't even take my word for it, but always check your Bible for the Truth. 

This is where the story of Moses begins.  His life is story is shared in Exodus 2 and continues through to Deuteronomy 34.  

If you call from the book of Genesis, God blessed Joseph with dreams and the interpretation of dreams.  because of this, he was able to accurately predict an upcoming 7-year famine.  Because he wisely prepared and stored food, he saved many lives.  Due to his actions, the Hebrew people thrived and grew in great number.  Many years later, a new Egyptian king (Pharoah) who did not know Joseph, is very threatened by the growing number of Hebrews and wants to have male babies killed. 

Moses' life begins with an act of love as his mother, Jochebed, hides him for three months so Pharaoh cannot kill him along with the other male babies he has ordered to be killed.  

Moses' mother, Jochebed must have been a woman of faith, and we can easily assume she must have prayed over her little boy as she placed him near the river.  God spares the infant's life as he is drawn from the banks by Pharaoh's daughter (not his wife), which is why she named him Moses. Note that nowhere does it say Moses was placed in the water and floated down the river, but it was still miraculous that he was found safe and that Pharaoh's daughter did not follow her powerful father's laws to kill the Hebrew baby boy. 

God blesses Jochebed by allowing her to nurse her own son a little while longer. The reason why Jochebed is allowed to stay in her son's life is because his older sister Miriam is watching out for him and sees Pharaoh's daughter save Moses.  Miriam suggests her own mother be her brother's nurse.

From the very beginning, God's hand was on the life and care of Moses.  It took his mother, Pharaoh's daughter, and Miriam to play their parts.  It shows how God uses all of us, if we are willing, to help others in their divine purpose.  So never begrudge even the small tasks in life that may help another person be used for God's greater purpose.

God is always in control, even at the beginning of our lives, so let's sit back and let Him lead!

(Exodus 2:1-10) And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi. And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months. And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child therein; and she laid it in the flags by the river's brink. And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done to him.

And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river; and her maidens walked along by the river's side; and when she saw the ark among the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it. 

And when she had opened it, she saw the child: and, behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, "This is one of the Hebrews' children."

Then said his sister to Pharaoh's daughter, "Shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee?"

And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, "Go."

 And the maid went and called the child's mother. And Pharaoh's daughter said unto her, "Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages." And the women took the child, and nursed it.

And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses: and she said, "Because I drew him out of the water."

Jesus Said He is... Series, Part 10: Love (He Is our Friend)

Jesus Said He is... Series, Part 10: Love (He Is our Friend)

This will be the last part of the series.  As I said, not all Jesus said He is will be included in this series, but I thought I would end with what we need to really to understand.  Yes, there are rules in life we need to follow, but what everything, and I mean everything, boils down to is this, God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit are all about love! 

Yes, this is another writing where Jesus did not specifically use the phrase "I am.." in reference to the subject matter of the post, but he often stated He loved people as well as His actions showing it in abundance.  He also tells us that He is our friend.

Jesus' sermons were all about loving each other through actions such as turning the other cheek rather than seeking revenge (Matthew 5:38-39 - "Ye have heard that it hath been said, 'An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth,' But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.),  praying for others that are cruel (Matthew 5:43-44 - "Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you." ), helping others in need (Matthew 5:42 "Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away."), unlimited forgiveness (Matthew 18:21-22- Then came Peter to him, and said, "Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?" Jesus saith unto him, "I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven."), and the list goes on.

(John 15:9-15) [Jesus said,] "As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in His love. These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.  Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you."

The ultimate act of love was God giving us His son and that Jesus was willing to die for the sins of those who would reject Him repeatedly from the beginning to the end of time on this earth.  

(John 3:16) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

There is never any way we could repay such an act of love, and we are not expected to earn His free gift of salvation.  However, we are expected to obey His commands if we truly want to be the friend of Jesus.  Let me repeat two sentences from John 15 above, verse 10," IF ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love" and verse 14, "Ye are my friends, IF ye do whatsoever I command you." Yes, Jesus says, "if," just in 1 John 1:9 that also uses the word if: IF we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

So what does Jesus command? Let's start with: 

(Matthew 19:16-21) And, behold, one came and said unto [Jesus], "Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?:

And He said unto him, "Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments."

He saith unto Him, "Which?"

Jesus said, "Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself... If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me."

Notice that Jesus does not list the more than 600 rules of the Old Covenant, but only from the 10 commandments written in God's own hand (Exodus 31:18 - And He gave unto Moses, when He had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.)

We keep His commandments not to be stifled, but because there is True freedom in obeying Jesus Christ (John 8:36 - "If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed."), not freedom to sin.  And as 1 John 4:19, says, "We love Him, because He first loved us." 

1 John makes it very clear that if we claim to be a follower of Jesus, and yet refuse to obey what the Bible says, we are lying about our love of the Lord, and we are not really Christians. But when we choose to walk down paths of righteousness, the love of God is perfected in us.

(1 John 2:3-6) And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. He that saith, "I know Him," and keepeth not His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.

John goes on to say that we should only love the Lord and not the world, or God's love is not in us.  For the sins of this world have nothing to do with the matchless love of God.

(1 John 2:15-17) Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

1 John 4 perfectly sums up this writing, as well as giving a clear message of the gospel, and of course, is written much better that I could ever write (please read the entire chapter):

(1 John 4:7-12 & 19-21) Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.  He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation [that is, the atoning sacrifice, and the satisfying offering] for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.  And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. We love him, because he first loved us. If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.

Message today is so very simple.  God so loved the world He gave His only Son, and that Son was willingly tortured and murdered so you and I could have eternal life with Him and not suffer in Hell.  Yet, if we want to hold onto these beautiful free gifts and not toss them in the garbage, we need to show Jesus that we love Him too and want to be His friend and not his enemy (James 4:4 -Know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.) The Holy Trinity is pure love and yearns to be the best friend we will ever have.

I will leave you with the same set of verses from yesterday so that we can all truly understand how to honor so great a love and spend eternity in His eternal Light of Love. 

(There are a lot of beautiful songs about the love of God, but I chose just one.  At the end of the verses is a song that I hope will minister to you as it does to me.)

(2 Corinthians 5:10-11 & 15-17) For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences. And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again. Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more. Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 

(Revelation 20:11-12 & 21:7-8) And I saw a great white throne, and Him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.  But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

(Galatians 5:16-26) This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. 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. But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, 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. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another. 

(Revelation 20:12-15) And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

(Revelation 21:1-27) And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away."

And He that sat upon the throne said, "Behold, I make all things new... It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son."

"But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death."

And there came unto me one of the seven angels... And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal...And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass. And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald; The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolyte; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst. And the twelve gates were twelve pearls: every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.

And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it. And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there. And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.

And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.

Jesus Said He is... Series, Part 9: The Resurrection & The Life

Jesus Said He is... Series, Part 9:  The Resurrection & The Life

Jesus said He was the Resurrection and the Life right before He raised Lazarus from the dead (you can read the entire story of Lazarus in John 11:1-45).

(John 11:25-26) Jesus said unto her, "I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?"

He also used this Heavenly power several other times that we read in the gospels as well as, I am sure, many times that were not recorded (John 21:25 - And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written.). The same power that raised Jesus and the others from the dead is accessible to all who believe and obey Him.  We can apply His gracious power to help us overcome sin in our lives as well as ask for His help for circumstances as well.

Beyond Jesus aiding us with our needs, and more importantly, He has the power to give us eternal life.  Through His death and resurrection, we can obtain eternal life through Jesus Christ.  

Jesus told His listeners that He had the power to give them eternal life, but only if they followed His ways, and His ways alone.  Note the words of Jesus below:

(John 8:51, NIV) [Jesus said,] "Very truly I tell you, whoever obeys my word will never see death.”

He makes it clear we must all obey in order to receive the precious gift of eternal life.  So how can we obtain this precious gift?

I want to reshare an excerpt from a recent post I wrote in my series about Heaven and Hell, from part 6 (you can read the entire writing at this link https://thankful-julie.blogspot.com/2026/03/heaven-hell-series-part-6-how-to-choose.html ):  

Terrifying reports of hell and beautiful heavenly descriptions beyond measure are all fascinating and get people to really think about where they want to spend eternity.  But if all one does is think they would love to go to heaven as casually as they would love to visit the castles in Germany, then what good is that information in reference to your soul?  What we really need to understand is how to choose heaven over hell.  

This writing is not based on my arrogant or self-righteous opinions but taken directly from Jesus himself and from other godly men who wrote the inspired Word of God.  I pray you carefully read all these scriptures and let them seep into your soul. 

Let me just start by saying, yes, I believe salvation through Jesus Christ is a free gift we do not have to earn.  But we still have rules to follow if we want to keep this precious gift and not lose it.  Being a Christian is so much more than just being a kind person, it is becoming a new creation in Christ, which means giving up sin and choosing paths of righteousness.  No, we cannot earn our salvation through our good works, but we will absolutely be judged according to our works.  

Satan wants you to believe that the rules are not there to rob you of joy, but Jesus says following Him brings us true freedom.  (John 10:10 - The thief [Satan] cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.) The rules protect us from hurting ourselves and others.  Jesus loves us and wants us all in heaven with Him.  He longs for all of us to obey His rules not because we want to live in paradise, but because forever would not be paradise without Jesus.  Not because we want a mansion and a crown, but because we want to lay our crown at the nail-scarred feet Jesus. The sacrifice of God and Jesus should be enough for us to want to be with Him. (John 3:16 - For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.)  His love, mercy, grace, patience, protection, and holiness should be enough for us to want to do the right things. (Romans 2:4 - The goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance.) 

Jesus said in Matthew 16:27 "For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works."  But if you think you have fallen too far from grace and the works you will be judged for can never be forgiven, think again! 2 Peter 3:9 tells us that "The Lord... is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance."  And 1 John 1:9 promises us that "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." And Lamentations 3:22-23 reminds us just how gracious God is when it says, "It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness."

Once you truly claim Jesus as your Savior, and repent of your sins, the sins you repent of will be under the blood of Jesus and will be remembered no more.  Psalm 103:11-12 says, "For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him. As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us." 

After we accept the free gift of salvation, we cannot then just do whatever we want and stay saved. The Bible tells us we must daily choose to crucify our flesh and not sin (Luke 9:23 - Jesus said, "And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.")  The Bible also makes it very clear that we are not to abuse the grace of God (Romans 6:1-2 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?) because, yes, we can lose our salvation if we chose to live in rebellion against the Lord.

Whether for the first time, second, or more time, it is never too late to turn your life over to Jesus and choose heaven over hell.

I will leave you with just a few more verses that help you better understand how to make the choice of heaven over hell, as well as ending with a beautiful description of Heaven. 

(2 Corinthians 5:10-11 & 15-17) For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences. And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again. Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more. Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 

(Revelation 20:11-12 & 21:7-8) And I saw a great white throne, and Him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.  But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

(Galatians 5:16-26) This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. 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. But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, 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. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another. 

(Revelation 20:12-15) And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

(Revelation 21:1-27) And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.

I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son."

"But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death."
