I wanted to give a basic message that provides scriptural proof of Jesus Christ and His deity. I pray that those who have grown weary in their walk with the Lord and those who have disregarded His gift would be blessed by this message. This is also a reminder to the many who have fallen asleep in this hour that the King is coming! Isaiah 7:14 Revelation 22:12 www.webpreach.com [email protected]

A Transformed Life In Jesus Christ Romans 12:1-2 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. 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. God’s will for mankind is for us to be in harmony with him. He has created us to worship Him and to communicate with Him. • We live in a country where we’re free to worship him • We are free to read and have access to His Word • We are free to share His word I. A Transformed Mind of Jesus Christ Mark 4:1-9 1 And he began again to teach by the sea side: and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land. 2 And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine, 3 Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow: 4 And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up. 5 And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth: 6 But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away. 7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit. 8 And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred. 9 And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. Many today do not have ears to hear. Our lives and society have become so occupied by the things of this life, and we have become weighed down by the cares of this world. Luke 21:34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. There’s nothing wrong with being responsible and having commitments, but our focus has to be on Jesus Christ and His will for our lives. The Word of God is truth and a light. When it is spoken it is like a seed that is tossed out to be sewn in the hearts, and minds of mankind. As the parable states the seed doesn’t always fall on good ground, but when it does it brings forth good fruit. A transformed mind in Jesus Christ cannot be influenced and distracted by the things that the world desires and conforms too. A mind of Jesus Christ is focused and has a mission to do the works for the Kingdom of God. Our mission is His will for His glory because he gave all for us. 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. A transformed mind is feeding on Jesus Christ. John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 6:35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. Matthew 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. How do we have a transformed mind like Jesus Christ? o Through the reading of scripture, and prayer Philippians 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. Philippians 2: 1-5 If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, 2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. 3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in l

Death by Default Proverbs 14:12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. American Christianity is an abomination in the eye’s of the Lord. Today’s so called Church of God is blind, lame, dumb, and deaf to the ways and the heart of God. We have forsaken His commands and His ways for His people. The Church holds no power against the raging enemy because it refuses to submit to the methods of the world. The Church is consumed by the lust of the eye’, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life. Acts 5:1-11 1 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, 2 And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles’ feet. 3 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land? 4 Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God. 5 And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things. 6 And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him. 7 And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in. 8 And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much. 9 Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out. 10 Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband. 11 And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things. The early Church of Jesus Christ was in one accord. They were in agreement to live a life that is sold out to holiness for God, and in defiance to sin and unrighteousness. When the unbeliever got saved they gave up all of there possessions and desires were transformed from earthly things to eternal things. Looking back was not an option, and a life with Jesus Christ was complete victory over the things of this world! Ananias, and Sapphira were evidently not fully commited to the Lord but they had doubt, and with doubt comes a lack of faith, and a lack of faith means to allow unbelief to cause oneself to create a back up plan incase this Jesus stuff doesn’t work out! Hypocrisy has invaded the Church, and has allowed the majority to camouflage their Christianity! We hide our faith and camouflage ourselves so that we can avoid uncomfortable situations. God forbid someone speaks bad about us, or that we’re confronted for our faith! The camouflaged Christian will take no stance against sin. They will ignore it, or turn the other cheek. They will make excuses and say things like “it doesn’t involve me, or I’ll let God be the Judge. Jude 1:23 And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. The preaching against sin has diminished, it’s like it’s not allowed. For the sake of the numbers brother don’t dare mention people’s faults! Don’t tell them that God is a God who hates sin! Let them just go right into Hell with the peace of mind that they had their pleasures met in this life! Psalms 5:4 For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee. Hebrews 11:24-25 By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter; 25 Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; The camouflaged Christians conceal their

Death & the Devil Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. The Lord has provided a gift that cannot be forgotten. This gift is given freely to all who will accept it. From the creation of mankind the Lord has made a plan for you and for me to be with Him for eternity. He has created us for his glory. We are created in His image. We are to serve Him, and worship Him, and seek Him for wisdom, knowledge, and instruction. Colossians 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: There is a real God who has created all of these things that we can see with our eyes, and the things that are unseen, and unknown. The world is in chaos because it is out of the will of God. Corruption has set in the hearts and minds of many. The world doesn’t look to the Holy One the Lord Jesus Christ. The world looks to man and his devices that he has created. These devices only bring a further separation from God. Take a look at the headlines! Abortion, murder, rape, lying, cheating, stealing, homosexuality, drunkenness, drug abuse, adultery, fornication, pedophilia, beastiality, self idolization, glorification, and body mutilization. There are thousands of religions, and millions of excuses that are given to avoid accountability. There is only one true God who has created all things, and He has one only begotten Son by Him and His name is Jesus Christ. John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. There is no other gods, no other way for eternal salvation, no escape from the coming judgment of God, and no way of reconciliation, except through repentance of personal sin, and being born again of the spirit through Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the only way to eternal life! Jesus was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of a virgin woman, lived and grew up as a man, God in the flesh who laid aside His deity, and was free from sin. He was accused for speaking the truth, crucified, died and buried, and rose from the dead 3 days later, and is now seated at the right hand of the Lord God Jehovah, and will soon return again to judge the world. Matthew 7:13 ¶ Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Matthew 7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Millions of people in the world profess this religion, or that religion, and even claim to be followers of Jesus Christ, but Jesus states it clearly (Strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it) It’s time for a self evaluation on where your walk is with Jesus Christ. Where are you today spiritually? Christians are you really a Christian? Matthew 10:38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. Matthew 16:24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. 26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? There are so many things in this life that we strive for in this life. We put our families on the sacrificial table of life for our employments and status among people. We forsake morality for pleasure and entitlement. We are self seeking and selfish creatures, but God still has created us for His purpose, and he

Isaiah 5:1-30 1 Now will I sing to my wellbeloved a song of my beloved touching his vineyard. My wellbeloved hath a vineyard in a very fruitful hill: 2 And he fenced it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also made a winepress therein: and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes. 3 And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard. 4 What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes? 5 And now go to; I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up; and break down the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down: 6 And I will lay it waste: it shall not be pruned, nor digged; but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it. 7 For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for judgment, but behold oppression; for righteousness, but behold a cry. 8 ¶ Woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no place, that they may be placed alone in the midst of the earth! 9 In mine ears said the LORD of hosts, Of a truth many houses shall be desolate, even great and fair, without inhabitant. 10 Yea, ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and the seed of an homer shall yield an ephah. 11 ¶ Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them! 12 And the harp, and the viol, the tabret, and pipe, and wine, are in their feasts: but they regard not the work of the LORD, neither consider the operation of his hands. 13 ¶ Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst. 14 Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it. 15 And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled: 16 But the LORD of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God that is holy shall be sanctified in righteousness. 17 Then shall the lambs feed after their manner, and the waste places of the fat ones shall strangers eat. 18 Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as it were with a cart rope: 19 That say, Let him make speed, and hasten his work, that we may see it: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know it! 20 ¶ Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! 21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight! 22 Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink: 23 Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him! 24 Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel. 25 Therefore is the anger of the LORD kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten them: and the hills did tremble, and their carcases were torn in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
