Know this, God blesses and loves to bless. But sin brings curses which must cancel the blessings just as blessings formerly cancelled your previous sin.

But because God is good, He still blesses (very little blessings) even though you are the most vile person on earth. As He says it is His policy that good must be done to all, both good and evil, "the sun shines on both good and evil as well as the rain falls on both good and evil".

But for the real special blessings, you've got to have a valid contract with him that is promise and undertake to keep his laws and remember his judgements, truthfully and indeed, then He promises to bless you beyond your imagination. Genesis 16:17; Leviticus 26:3; Mathew 6:33

Excuse me for interrupting here.
I think you may want some practical ways in which this might happen.
I am not quite sure that God functions in that manner, because sometimes "life" happens to everyone whether Christian or not.
Yes, He has stated many times in scripture that choosing to live a life surrendered to Him=blessings (which can be a variety of things).
Even tough circumstances, can result in blessings too.
Blessings are everywhere if one can see that in his/her life.
When a Christian sins or falls (at times), blessings are not immediately taken away, if that is what you are asking.
There's a difference between professing Christ, yet falling sometimes, as opposed to living in blatant, open sin and not acknowledging Christ.

My example would be the following:
When a Christian who's enjoying a relationship with the Lord falls, he/she loses some of God's full presence and abundance in your life.
He's there, but one will tend to run from him because of fear.
There's also a sense of guilt and emptiness that comes when one sins...and knows that it's wrong and hurts God.
What a person really wants, is to know that God's love, favor and approval is on him/her...regardless of material things.
There is a peace that one has when he/she daily tries to live a life surrendered to the Lord.
Sin corrupts that peace and breaks the relationship. But God is not a tyrant who immediately withdraws His blessings.
It's more of a spiritual concept, that occurs than physical.

Also understand that it's dangerous to base God's blessings as a sign of his approval.
One can never just use physical blessings as a measure of God's approval and blessing in one's life, because the enemy ALSO can bless abundantly with wealth, and be sure that his "wealth" is temporary and not borne out of a genuine love. A person (professed Christian or not)could be living in blatant, open sin, yet be an extremely hard worker and be wealthy or have what appears a "smooth life". That's just the laws of nature..so to speak.
If you work hard, then this more than likely will occur.
However, if sin is present and God tries to repeatedly get one's attention (to confess and repent), but the person ignores, then He moves back slowly but surely and allows one to do his/her thing. Sin runs its course and finally destroys a person.

Some of the posters here tried to explain it.

Hope I didn't confuse you.

MISHIGAS!

. LUKE 14:7-11.

7. And he put forth a Parable
to those which were bidden,
when he marked how
they chose out
the chief rooms;
saying unto them,

8. "When thou art
bidden of any man
to a wedding,
sit not down
in the highest room;
lest a more honourable man
than thou be bidden of him;
9. "And he that bade
thee and him
come and say to thee,

'GIVE THIS MAN PLACE;'

and thou begin with shame
to take the lowest room.
10. "But when thou art bidden,
go and sit down
in the lowest room;
that when he
that bade thee cometh,
he may say unto thee,

'FRIEND,
GO UP HIGHER:'


then shalt thou have worship
in the presence of them
that sit at meat with thee.
11. "For whosoever
exalteth himself
shall be abased;
and he that
humbleth himself
shall be exalted."

MRAKPORS:

GENTILES ARE NATURALLY DISGUSTING ABOMINATIONS, AND HAVE NO PROBLEM SWALLOWING AND VOMITING ABOMINATIONS AT WILL!

Who taught you that CHILDREN OF GOD can ever possibly commit Sin?

. 1st JOHN 3:1-18.

BEHOLD,
what manner of Love
The Father hath
bestowed upon us,
that we should be called
The Sons of God:
therefore the World
knoweth us not,
because It knew him not.
2. Beloved,
now are we
The Sons of God,
and it doth not yet appear
what we shall be:
but we know that,

"WHEN HE SHALL APPEAR,
WE SHALL BE LIKE HIM;
FOR WE SHALL SEE HIM
AS HE IS."


3. And every man
that hath this Hope in him
purifieth himself,
even as he is pure.
4. Whosoever committeth Sin
transgresseth also The Law:
for Sin is the Transgression
of The Law.
5. And ye know
that he was manifested
to take away our Sins;
and in him is no Sin.
6. Whosoever abideth in him
Sinneth not:
whosoever Sinneth
hath not seen him,
neither known him.
7. Little Children,
let no man deceive you:

"HE THAT DOETH RIGHTEOUSNESS
IS RIGHTEOUS,
EVEN AS HE IS RIGHTEOUS."


8. He that committeth Sin
is of The Devil;
for The Devil Sinneth
From The Beginning.
For this cause
The Son of God
was manifested,

"THAT HE MIGHT DESTROY
THE WORKS OF THE DEVIL."


9. Whosoever is Born of God
doth not commit Sin:
for His Seed
remaineth in him,
and he cannot Sin,
because he is Born of God.
10. In this
The Children of God
are manifest,
and The Children of The Devil:

"WHOSOEVER DOETH
NOT RIGHTEOUSNESS
IS NOT OF GOD,
NEITHER HE THAT
LOVETH NOT HIS BROTHER."


11. For this is The Message
that ye heard
From The Beginning,

"THAT WE SHOULD
LOVE ONE ANOTHER."


12. Not as Cain,
who was of That Wicked One,
and slew his brother.
And wherefore slew he him?
Because his own works
were Evil,
and his brother's Righteous.
13. Marvel not, my Brethren,
if the World hate you.
14. We know that we
have passed from Death unto Life,
because we love The Brethren.
He that loveth not his Brother
abideth in Death.
15. Whosoever hateth his Brother
is a Murderer:
and ye know that no Murderer
hath Eternal Life abiding in him.
16. Hereby perceive we
The Love of God,
because he laid down
his life for us:
and we ought to lay down
our lives for the Brethren.
17. But whoso hath
this World's good,
and seeth his brother
have need,
and shutteth up
his Bowels of Compassion from him,
how dwelleth
The Love of God
in him?
18. My Little Children,
let us not love in Word,
neither in Tongue;
but in Deed and in Truth.

YOCHANNAN WAS A HYPOCRITE, AND CONCEALING THE FACT THAT HE AND HIS COLLEAGUES WERE ALL THE VERY CHILDREN-OF-THE-DEVIL THAT HE WAS DESCRIBING AND CONDEMNING.

Children brainwashed from childhood into believing False Premises in life in general and Biblical Doctrine in particular, act as if they are too stupid to understand that just because someone preaches Law & Order, that does not mean that they are not Pure Criminals.

The funniest thing in Nigerian History is lawbreakers illegally seizing the legitimate governments, and then telling the citizens that it is very important to obey the law!

There is nothing funny about Nigerian History: that is just the nearest thing to funny.

The DISCIPLES took over the Church, and led It into lies.

. JOHN 8:28-53.

28. Then Said Jesus
unto them,

"When ye have lifted up
The Son of Man,
then shall ye know
that I am he,
and that I do
nothing of myself;
but as my Father
hath Taught me,
I Speak these things.
29. "And He that sent me
is with me:
The Father hath not
left me alone;
for I do always those things
that please Him."

30. As he Spake
these Words,
many believed on him.

31. Then Said Jesus
to those Jews
which believed on him,

"If ye continue
in my Word,
then are ye
my Disciples indeed;
32. "And ye shall
know The Truth,
and The Truth
shall make you Free."

33. They answered him,

"We be Abraham's Seed,
and were never in bondage
to any man:
how sayest thou,  

'YE SHALL BE
MADE FREE?' "


34. Jesus answered them,

"Verily, verily,
I Say unto you,

WHOSOEVER COMMITTETH SIN
IS THE SERVANT OF SIN.
35. 'AND THE SERVANT
ABIDETH NOT
IN THE HOUSE FOR EVER:
BUT THE SON
ABIDETH EVER.'


36. "If the Son therefore
shall make you free,
ye shall be free indeed.
37. "I know that ye are
Abraham's Seed;
but ye seek to kill me,
because my Word hath
no place in you.
38. "I Speak That Which
I have seen with my Father:
and ye do that which
ye have seen with your Father."

39. They answered
and said unto him,

"Abraham is our father."

Jesus Saith unto them,

"If ye were Abraham's Children,
ye would do the Works of Abraham.
40. "But now ye seek to kill me,
a man that hath told you
The Truth,
which I have heard of God:
this did not Abraham.
41. "Ye do the deeds
of your father."

Then said they to him,

"We be not born of fornication;
we have one Father,
even God."
42. Jesus Said unto them,

"If God were your Father,
ye would love me
for I proceeded forth
and came from God;
neither came I of myself,
but He sent me.
43. "Why do ye not
understand my Speech?
Even because ye cannot
hear my Word.
44. "Ye are of your
Father The Devil,
and the lusts
of your Father ye will do.
He was a Murderer
From The Beginning,
and abode not in The Truth,
because there is
no Truth in him.
When he speaketh a lie,
he speaketh of his own:
for he is a liar,
and the Father of It.
45. "And because
I Tell you The Truth,
ye believe me not.
46. "Which of you
convinceth me of Sin?
And if I say The Truth,
why do ye not believe me?
47. "He that is of God
heareth God's Words:
ye therefore hear them not,
because ye are not of God."

48. Then answered the Jews,
and said unto him,

"Say we not well
that thou art a Samaritan,
and hast a Devil?"

49. Jesus answered,

"I have not a Devil;
but I honour my Father,
and ye do dishonour me.
50. "And I seek not
mine own Glory:
there is one that seeketh
and judgeth.

51. "Verily, verily,
I Say unto you,

'IF A MAN
KEEP MY SAYING,
HE SHALL NEVER
SEE DEATH.' "


52. Then said the Jews
unto him,

"Now we know
that thou hast a Devil.
Abraham is dead,
and the Prophets;
and thou sayest,

'IF A MAN
KEEP MY SAYING,
HE SHALL NEVER
TASTE OF DEATH.'


53. "Art thou greater
than our father Abraham,
which is dead?
and the Prophets are dead:
whom makest thou thyself?"

NONE OF THESE TEACHINGS OCCUR ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE NEW TESTAMENT. BECAUSE THE DISCIPLES WITHHELD THEM FROM THE EARLY CHURCH.

Only after the deaths of CEPHAS and PAUL about 64AD did the first Gospels get published.

All Sinners start out as CHILDREN OF THE DEVIL, but upon receiving THE GOSPEL become changed into CHILDREN OF GOD.

[quote author=oaroloye post=54715291]
. JOHN 3:1-21.

THERE was a man of the Pharisees,
named Nicodemus,
a Ruler of the Jews:
2. The same came to Jesus
by night,
and said unto him,
"Rabbi, we know
that thou art a Teacher
come from God:
for no man can do
these Miracles
that thou doest,
except God be with him."

3. Jesus answered
and Said unto him,

"Verily, verily,
I Say unto thee,

'EXCEPT A MAN
BE BORN AGAIN,
HE CANNOT SEE
THE KINGDOM OF GOD.'


4. Nicodemus saith unto him,
"How can a man be born
when he is old?
Can he enter the second time
into his mother's womb,
and be born?"

5. Jesus answered,

"Verily, verily,
I Say unto thee,

'EXCEPT A MAN BE BORN
OF WATER AND OF THE SPIRIT,
HE CAN NOT ENTER INTO
THE KINGDOM OF GOD.'


6. "That which is Born
of the Flesh
is flesh;
and that which is Born
of The Spirit
is spirit.
7. "Marvel not
that I Said unto thee,

'YE MUST BE
BORN AGAIN.'


8. "The wind bloweth
where it listeth,
and thou hearest
the sound thereof,
but canst not tell
whence it cometh,
and whither it goeth:
so is every one
that is Born of The Spirit."

9. Nicodemus answered
and said unto him,

"How can these things be?"

10. Jesus answered
and Said
unto him,

"Art thou a Master of Israel,
and knowest not
these things?
11. "Verily, verily,
I Say unto thee,

'WE SPEAK
THAT WE DO KNOW,
AND TESTIFY
THAT WE HAVE SEEN;
AND YE RECEIVE NOT
OUR WITNESS.'


12. "If I have told you
Earthly Things,
and ye believe not,
how shall ye believe,
if I tell you
of Heavenly Things?
13. "And no man
hath ascended up to Heaven,
but he that came down
from Heaven,
even The Son of Man
which is in Heaven.
14. "And as Moses lifted up
the Serpent in the Wilderness,
even so must The Son of Man
be lifted up:
15. "That whosoever
believeth in him
should not perish,
but have Eternal Life.
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.
17. "For God sent not His Son
into the World
to Condemn the World;
but that the World through him
might be Saved.
18. "He that believeth in him
is not Condemned:
but he that believeth not
is Condemned Already,
because he hath not
believed in
The Name of The Only
Begotten Son of God.
19. "And this is The Condemnation,

'THAT LIGHT IS COME
INTO THE WORLD,
AND MEN LOVED DARKNESS
RATHER THAN LIGHT,
BECAUSE THEIR DEEDS
WERE EVIL.'


20. "For every one
that doeth Evil
hateth The Light,
neither cometh
to The Light,
lest his deeds
should be reproved.
21. "But he that doeth Truth
cometh to The Light,
that his deeds
may be manifest,
that they are
wrought in God."

"BORN AGAIN" IN NORTHERN ARAMAIC MEANS: "TO CHANGE ONE'S THOUGHTS AND HABITS." NICODEMUS SPOKE SOUTHERN ARAMAIC, AND HENCE DID NOT UNDERSTAND JESUS. Footnote to JOHN 3:3,5 in the Lamsa Peshitta Bible.

IF THE GOSPEL THAT A PERSON WAS "BORN AGAIN" WITH WAS COUNTERFEIT, THEIR "NEW BIRTH" WILL ALSO BE COUNTERFEIT: THEY WILL NOT BE CHILDREN OF GOD, BUT STILL REMAIN CHILDREN OF THE DEVIL!

Anyone who has had any length of experience with "BORN AGAIN CHRISTIANS" will know this to be true.

Before I explained it, you did not know what was wrong; now, you do know.

This who insist that those FALSE CHRISTIAN SCUM are still CHILDREN OF GOD are committing BLASPHEMY.

. LEVITICUS 24:10-16.

10. And the son
of an Israelitish woman,
whose father was
an Egyptian,
went out among
the Children of Israel:
and this son of
the Israelitish woman
and a Man of Israel
strove together in the camp;
11. And the Israelitish
woman's son blasphemed
The Name of The LORD,
and cursed.
And they brought him
unto Moses:
[and his mother's name
was Shelomith,
the daughter of Dibri,
of the tribe of Dan:]
12. And they put him in ward,
that the Mind of The LORD
might be shewed them.
13. And The LORD Spake
unto Moses,
Saying,

14. "Bring forth him
that hath cursed
without the camp;
and let all that heard him
lay their hands upon his head,
and let all the Congregation
stone him.
15. "And thou shalt speak
unto the Children of Israel,
saying,

'WHOSOEVER CURSETH
HIS GOD
SHALL BEAR HIS SIN.'


16. "And he that blasphemeth
The Name of The LORD,
he shall surely be
put to Death,
and all the Congregation
1 certainly stone him:
as well the Stranger
as he that is Born in the land,
when he blasphemeth
The Name of The LORD,
shall be put to death."

BLASPHEMY IS THE BIGGEST BUSINESS IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD.

Anyone with commonsense should know that a person you reward for lying to you will never tell you The Truth.

.   PROVERBS 26:24-28.

24. He that hateth
dissembleth with his lips,
and layeth up deceit
within him;
25. When he speaketh fair,
believe him not:
for (there are)
seven Abominations
in his heart.
26. (Whose) hatred is
covered by Deceit,
his Wickedness
shall be shewed
before the (whole) Congregation.
27. Whoso diggeth a pit
shall fall therein:
and he that rolleth a stone,
it will return upon him.
28. A lying tongue hateth
(those that are) afflicted by it;
and a Flattering Mouth
worketh Ruin.

IF YOU CONFRONT A COUNTERFEIT CHRISTIAN WITH THESE VERSES PROVING THAT A CHILD OF GOD CANNOT SIN, THEY WILL REJECT THEM- TELL YOU THAT THEY HAVE SOME OTHER "REAL MEANING!"

A TRUE BELIEVER will understand that they have been lied to, and that they have no Right to call themselves a Child of God.

[quote]
.     EXODUS 20:1-7.

AND God Spake
all these Words,
Saying,

2. "I (am) The LORD thy God,
Which have brought thee
out of The Land of Egypt,
out of The House of Bondage.

3. "Thou shalt have
no other gods before Me.

4. "Thou shalt not
make unto thee
any graven image,
or any likeness (of any thing)
that (is) in the Earth beneath,
or that (is) in the Water

5. "Thou shalt not
bow down thyself to them,

upon the third
and fourth (generation)
of them that Hate Me.
6. "And shewing Mercy

7. "Thou shalt not

in vain;
for The LORD will not
hold him guiltless

in vain."

AT AGE 13, ISRAELITES ARE DEDICATED TO GOD, (BAR/BAT MITZVAH,) AND MUST SPEND THE NEXT SEVEN YEARS ACQUIRING THE SEVEN SPIRITS OF GOD, IN ORDER TO BE QUALIFIED TO SERVE HIM FULLY, BY AGE 20.

This is because A SERVANT OF GOD CANNOT AFFORD TO DELIBERATELY BREAK THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD- not even ONCE!

. NUMBERS 15:27-31.

27. "And if any man Sin

a She Goat of the first year
for a Sin Offering.
28. "And the Priest

forgiven him.
29. " Ye shall have one Law
for him that Sinneth Ignorantly

and for the Stranger
that sojourneth
among them.
30. "But the Soul
that doeth

(whether he be)
born in the land,

and that Soul
shall be cut off
from among his people.

Therefore, being ignorant of how The True Yahweh God is to be served, Gentile "Christians" invariably violate these Commandments on a daily basis:

. LEVITICUS 19:11-18.

11. "Ye shall not steal,
neither deal falsely,
neither lie one to another.
12. "And ye shall not swear
by My Name falsely,
neither shalt thou profane
The Name of thy God:
I am The LORD.
13. "Thou shalt not
defraud thy Neighbour,
neither rob him:
the wages of him that is hired
shall not abide with thee
all night until the morning.
14. "Thou shalt not curse the deaf,
nor put a stumblingblock
before the blind,
but shalt fear thy God:
I am The LORD."
15. "Ye shall do
no unrighteousness in Judgment:
thou shalt not respect
the person of the Poor,
nor honor the person of the Mighty:
but in righteousness shalt thou
Judge thy Neighbour.
16. "Thou shalt not go up and down
as a Talebearer among thy people:
neither shalt thou stand against
the blood of thy Neighbour;
I am The LORD.
17. "Thou shalt not hate thy Brother
in thine heart:
thou shalt in any wise Rebuke thy Neighbour,
and not suffer Sin upon him.
18. "Thou shalt not avenge,
nor bear any grudge
against the Children of thy People,
but thou shalt love
thy Neighbour as thyself:
I am the LORD."

. DEUTERONOMY 6:4-9.

4. Hear, O Israel:
The LORD our God
is one LORD:
5. And thou shalt love
The LORD thy God
with all thine Heart,
and with all thy Soul,
and with all thy might.
6. And these Words,
which I Command thee this day,
shall be in thine heart:
7. And thou shalt teach Them
diligently unto thy children,
and shalt talk of Them
when thou sittest
in thine house,
and when thou walkest
by the way,
and when thou liest down,
and when thou risest up.
8. And thou shalt bind Them
for a sign upon thine hand,
and they shall be as frontlets
between thine eyes.
9. And thou shalt write Them
upon the posts of thy house,
and on thy gates.

. DEUTERONOMY 30:10-20.

10. If thou shalt hearken
unto The Voice of
The LORD thy God,
to keep His Commandments
and His Statutes
Which are written
in this Book of The Law,
and if thou turn unto
The LORD thy God
with all thine Heart,
and with all thy Soul.
11. For This Commandment
which I Command thee
This Day,
it is not hidden from thee,
neither is it far off.
12. It is not in Heaven,
that thou shouldest say,

"WHO SHALL GO UP
FOR US TO HEAVEN,
AND BRING IT UNTO US,
THAT WE MAY HEAR IT,
AND DO IT?"


13. Neither is it
beyond the Sea,
that thou shouldest say,

"WHO SHALL GO OVER
THE SEA FOR US,
AND BRING IT UNTO US,
THAT WE MAY HEAR IT,
AND DO IT?"


14. But the Word is
very nigh unto thee,
in thy mouth,
and in thy Heart,
that thou mayest do it.
15. See, I have set
before thee this day
Life and Good,
and Death and Evil;
16. In that I Command thee
this Day to love
The LORD thy God,
to walk in His Ways,
and to keep
His Commandments
and His Statutes
and His Judgments,
that thou mayest
live and multiply:
and The LORD thy God
shall Bless thee
in the Land
whither thou goest
to possess It.
17. But if thine Heart
turn away,
so that thou wilt not hear,
but shalt be drawn away,
and worship other gods,
and serve them;
18. I denounce unto you
This Day,
that ye shall surely perish,
and that ye shall not
prolong your Days
upon the Land,
whither thou passest
over Jordan
to go to possess it.
19. I call Heaven and Earth
to record this day against you,
that I have set before you
Life and Death,
Blessing and Cursing:
therefore CHOOSE LIFE,

That both thou
and thy seed may live:

20. That thou mayest
love The LORD thy God,

And that thou mayest
obey His Voice,

and that thou mayest
cleave unto Him:

for He is thy Life,
and the Length of thy days:

That thou mayest dwell
in the land
which The LORD Sware
unto thy fathers,
to Abraham, to Isaac,
and to Jacob,
to give them.

THESE SCRIPTURES ARE GENERALLY OF MINOR IMPORTANCE TO GENTILE "BELIEVERS."

Most Christians probably do not even know that they exist. The few that do have almost always discarded them, as being of no importance, or taken parts of them badly out-of-context!

.    MATTHEW 18:1-14.

AT the same time came
the Disciples unto Jesus,
saying,

"Who is the greatest
in The Kingdom of Heaven?"

2. And Jesus called
a little child unto him,
and set him
in the midst of them,
3. And Said,

"Verily I Say unto you,

'EXCEPT YE
BE CONVERTED,
AND BECOME
AS LITTLE CHILDREN,
YE SHALL NOT ENTER INTO
THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.'


4. "Whosoever therefore
shall humble himself
as this little child,
the same is greatest
in The Kingdom of Heaven.
5. "And whoso shall receive
one such little child
in my Name receiveth me.
6. "But whoso shall offend
one of these little ones
which believe in me,
it were better for him
that a millstone
were hanged about his neck,
and that he were drowned
in the Depth of the Sea.
7. "Woe unto the World
because of Offences!
For it must needs be
that Offences come;
but woe to that man
by whom the Offence cometh!
8. "Wherefore if thy hand
or thy foot offend thee,
cut them off,
and cast them from thee:
it is better for thee
to enter into life
halt or maimed,
rather than having
two hands or two feet
to be cast into Everlasting Fire.
9. "And if thine eye offend thee,
pluck it out,
and cast it from thee:
it is better for thee
to enter into life
with one eye,
rather than having two eyes
to be cast into Hell Fire.

10. "Take heed that ye
despise not one
of these little ones;
for I Say unto you,

'THAT IN HEAVEN
THEIR ANGELS DO ALWAYS
BEHOLD THE FACE
OF MY FATHER
WHICH IS IN HEAVEN.'


11. "For The Son of Man
is come to Save
that which was Lost.

12. "How think ye?
If a man have
an hundred sheep,
and one of them
be gone astray,
doth he not leave
the ninety and nine,
and goeth into the mountains,
and seeketh that
which is gone astray?
13. "And if so be
that he find it,
verily I Say unto you,

'HE REJOICETH
MORE OF THAT SHEEP
THAN OF
THE NINETY AND NINE
WHICH WENT
NOT ASTRAY.'


14. "Even so it is not
The Will of your Father
Which is in Heaven,
that one of these little ones
should perish.
15. "Moreover if thy Brother
shall trespass against thee,
go and tell him his fault
between thee and him alone:
if he shall hear thee,
thou hast gained thy Brother.
16. "But if he will not hear thee,
then take with thee one or two more,

'THAT IN THE MOUTH
OF TWO OR THREE WITNESSES
EVERY WORD
MAY BE ESTABLISHED.'


17. "And if he shall neglect
to hear them,
tell it unto the Church:
but if he neglect to hear the Church,
let him be unto thee
as an Heathen man and a Publican.
18. "Verily I Say unto you,

'WHATSOEVER YE SHALL
BIND ON EARTH
SHALL BE BOUND IN HEAVEN:
AND WHATSOEVER YE SHALL
LOOSE ON EARTH
SHALL BE LOOSED IN HEAVEN.'


19. "Again I Say unto you,

'THAT IF TWO OF YOU
SHALL AGREE ON EARTH
AS TOUCHING ANY THING
THAT THEY SHALL ASK,
IT SHALL BE DONE FOR THEM
OF MY FATHER
WHICH IS IN HEAVEN.'


20. "For where two or three
are gathered together
in my Name,
there am I
in the midst of them."

TO BE BORN AGAIN AS A CHILD OF GOD, YOU NEED TO REPENT OF THE SINS AND INIQUITIES OF YOUR PARENTS, YOUR GRANDPARENTS, AND YOUR GREAT-GRANDPARENTS!

This has never been done in any Church at any time- not even Lord Yeshua's original Disciples.

The only reason why Lord Yeshua allowed his Disciples to continue with him as Sinners, was that he must have wanted them to repent of their own accord- PROVING THEMSELVES WORTHY.

If they were going to be unworthy, he knew that he was going to have to take the "APOSTLESHIP," if there were such a thing, away from them, and give it to Christians who were worthier than them.

The Disciples knew this, and therefore deliberately sabotaged every other Christian, so that Lord Yeshua would have no one better to give the Offices to.

This is not taught in any Church I have ever heard of. I am Teaching it to you now.

Unless the damage inflicted upon you by your previous four generations is repaired, you can never be a CHILD OF GOD.

Dtruthspeaker:

Know this, God blesses and loves to bless. But sin brings curses which must cancel the blessings just as blessings formerly cancelled your previous sin.

But because God is good, He still blesses (very little blessings) even though you are the most vile person on earth. As He says it is His policy that good must be done to all, both good and evil, "the sun shines on both good and evil as well as the rain falls on both good and evil".

WRONG: GOD DOES NOT BLESS THE EVIL BECAUSE HE IS SO BENEVOLENT, BUT BECAUSE HIS ANGELS CANNOT PUNISH THE WICKED WITHOUT INJURING THE INNOCENT.

. MATTHEW 13:24-30.

24. Another Parable
put he forth unto them,
Saying,

"The Kingdom of Heaven
is likened unto a man
which sowed good seed
in his field:
25. "But while men slept,
his enemy came and sowed tares
among the wheat,
and went his way.
26. "But when the blade
was sprung up,
and brought forth fruit,
then appeared the tares also.
27. "So the servants
of the householder
came and said unto him,

'SIR, DIDST NOT THOU
SOW GOOD SEED
IN THY FIELD?
FROM WHENCE
HATH IT TARES?'


28. "He said unto them,

'AN ENEMY
HATH DONE THIS.'


The servants said unto him,

'WILT THOU THEN
THAT WE GO AND
GATHER THEM UP?'


29. "But he said,

'NAY; LEST WHILE YE
GATHET UP THE TARES,
YE ROOT UP ALSO
THE WHEAT WITH THEM.
30. 'LET BOTH GROW TOGETHER
UNTIL THE HARVEST:
AND IN THE TIME OF THE HARVEST,
I WILL SAY
TO THE REAPERS,


"GATHER YE TOGETHER
FIRST THE TARES,
AND GATHER THEM IN BUNDLES
TO BURN THEM:
BUT GATHER THE WHEAT
INTO MY BARN." ' "


Dtruthspeaker:

But for the real special blessings, you've got to have a valid contract with him that is promise and undertake to keep his laws and remember his judgements, truthfully and indeed, then He promises to bless you beyond your imagination. Genesis 16:17; Leviticus 26:3; Mathew 6:33

ALL OF THOSE PROMISES ARE FALSE.

1. There is no GENESIS 16:17.

That is a lie, right there.

No one even cared about that- as usual.

2. LEVITICUS 26:1-13.

"YE shall make you
no idols nor graven image,
neither rear you up
a standing image,
neither shall ye set up
any image of stone
in your land,
to bow down unto it:
for I am The LORD your God.
2. "Ye shall keep My Sabbaths,
and reverence My Sanctuary:
I am The LORD.
3. "If ye walk in My Statutes,
and keep My Commandments,
and do Them;
4. "Then I will give you rain
in due season,
and the land
shall yield her increase,
and the trees of the field
shall yield their fruit.
5. "And your threshing
shall reach unto the vintage,
and the vintage shall reach
unto the sowing time:
and ye shall eat your bread
to the full,
and dwell in your land safely.
6. "And I will give peace in the land,
and ye shall lie down,
and none shall make you afraid:
and I will rid evil beasts
out of the land,
neither shall the sword
go through your land.
7. "And ye shall
chase your enemies,
and they shall fall before you
by the sword.
8. "And five of you
shall chase an hundred,
and an hundred of you
shall put ten thousand to flight:
and your enemies
shall fall before you
by the sword.
9. "For I will have Respect
unto you,
and make you fruitful,
and multiply you,
and establish My Covenant
with you.
10. "And ye shall eat old store,
and bring forth the old
because of the new.
11. "And I will set My Tabernacle
among you:
and My Soul shall not abhor you.
12. "And I will walk among you,
and will be your God,
and ye shall be My People.
13. "I am The LORD your God,
Which brought you forth
out of the land of Egypt,
that ye should not
be their bondmen;
and I have broken
The Bands of your Yoke,
and made you go upright."

WE ARE NOT ISRAELITES; GOD NEVER BROUGHT US FORTH OUT OF THE LAND OF EGYPT.

These Promises can only apply to Christians who have truly been BORN AGAIN OF GOD.

.
3. MATTHEW 6:19-34.

19. "Lay not up for yourselves
Treasures upon Earth,
where moth and rust
doth corrupt,
and where Thieves
break through and Steal:
20. "But lay up for yourselves
Treasures in Heaven,
where neither moth nor rust
doth corrupt,
and where Thieves
do not break through
nor Steal:
21. "For where your Treasure is,
there will your heart be also.
22. "The Light of the Body
is the Eye:
if therefore thine eye
be single,
thy whole Body
shall be full of Light.
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 that Darkness!
24. "No man can serve two masters:
for either he will
hate the one,
and love the other;
or else he will
hold to the one,
and despise the other.
Ye cannot serve God
and mammon.
25. "Therefore I Say unto you,

'TAKE NO THOUGHT
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 meat,
and the body than raiment?
26. "Behold the Fowls
of the Air:
for they sow not,
neither do they reap,
nor gather into barns;
yet your Heavenly Father
feedeth them.
Are ye not much better
than they?
27. "Which of you
by taking thought
can add one cubit
unto his stature?
28. "And why take ye
thought for raiment?
Consider the lilies of the field,
how they grow; they toil not,
neither do they spin:
29. "And yet I Say unto you,

'THAT EVEN SOLOMON
IN ALL HIS GLORY
WAS NOT ARRAYED
LIKE ONE OF THESE.'


30. "Wherefore,
if God 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?
31. "Therefore take no thought,
saying,

'WHAT SHALL WE EAT?'
or, 'WHAT SHALL WE DRINK?'
or, 'WHEREWITH SHALL WE BE CLOTHED?'


32. "[For after all these things
do the Gentiles seek:]
for your Heavenly Father
knoweth that ye have need
of all these things.
33. "But seek ye first
The Kingdom of God,
and His Righteousness;
and all these things
shall be added unto you.
34. "Take therefore no thought
for the morrow:
for the morrow
shall take thought
for the things of itself.
Sufficient unto the day
is the Evil thereof."

THAT PROMISE CAN ONLY APPLY TO THOSE WHO ARE FULLY-COMMITTED TO BELIEVE AND OBEY WHATEVER LORD YESHUA COMMANDED IN THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT, AND ELSEWHERE.

No Born Again Christianity Church requires Its members to obey all of Lord Yeshua's Commandments, because they do not want them to be SAVED- but merely to THINK that they are.

Their "reasons" do not matter: all we need to know is that THEY ARE WICKED. MONEY is enough for most.

Others do it, just because they can control people, and be esteemed by them. Others control Protestant Churches because they are Roman Catholic working undercover. Anglican Clergymen are all Agents of The British Government. If you don't believe that, go and look up their Ordination Oaths-of-Office in THE ANGLICAN BOOK OF COMMON PRAYER.

The Baptist Church is a Front for FREEMASONRY.

All of these are against True Christianity interests in particular, and Humanity in particular. If you do not believe me, go and read about their atrocities in general.

The Wars these "Christians" have fought amongst themselves- from International, through Intranational, Provincal, Neighbourhood, to Individual.

*Pa-pa,* they even fight wars against their own selves!

It is regarded as a mark of "adulthood" to deliberately try to destroy one's own LIVER and other Organs on a regular basis!

See also: European Colonialism in Africa.

American "Christian" Treatment of Blacks.

If you are aware of all that, and still trust Oyinbo Interpretation of The Bible, you must be insane.

The Oyinbos interpret The Bible to suit their Political, Social, Financial, and Intellectual Interests.

Never God's Interests.

Excuse me for interrupting here.

. LEVITICUS 19:1-2.

AND The LORD
Spake unto Moses,
Saying,

2. "Speak unto all
The Congregation of
The Children of Israel,
and say unto them,

'YE SHALL BE HOLY:
FOR I THE LORD YOUR GOD
(AM) HOLY."


. MATTHEW 13:1-23.

THE same day went Jesus out of the house,
and sat by the sea side.
2. And great multitudes
were gathered together
unto him,
so that he went into a ship,
and sat;
and the whole multitude
stood on the shore.
3. And he Spake many things
unto them in Parables,
Saying,

"Behold, a sower
went forth to sow;
4. "And when he sowed,
some seeds
fell by the way side,
and the fowls came
and devoured them up:
5. "Some fell
upon stony places,
where they had
not much earth:
and forthwith they sprung up,
because they had
no deepness of earth:
6. "And when
the Sun was up,
they were scorched;
and because they had
no root,
they withered away.
7. "And some fell
among thorns;
and the thorns sprung up,
and choked them:
8. "But other fell
into good ground,
and brought forth fruit,
some an hundredfold,
some sixtyfold,
some thirtyfold.
9. "Who hath ears to hear,
let him hear."

10. And the Disciples came,
and said unto him,

"Why speakest thou
unto them in Parables?"

11. He answered and Said
unto them,

"Because it is given unto you
to know The Mysteries
of The Kingdom of Heaven,
but to them it is not given.
12. "For whosoever hath,
to him shall be given,
and he shall have
more abundance:
but whosoever hath not,
from him shall be taken away
even that he hath.
13. "Therefore Speak I
to them in Parables:

'BECAUSE THEY SEEING
SEE NOT;
AND HEARING
THEY HEAR NOT,
NEITHER DO THEY
UNDERSTAND.'


14. "And in them is fulfilled
the Prophecy of Esaias,
which saith,

'BY HEARING YE SHALL HEAR,
AND SHALL NOT UNDERSTAND;
AND SEEING YE SHALL SEE,
AND SHALL NOT PERCEIVE:
15. 'FOR THIS PEOPLE'S HEART
IS WAXED GROSS,

AND THEIR EYES
THEY HAVE CLOSED;
LEST AT ANY TIME
THEY SHOULD SEE WITH THEIR EYES
AND HEAR WITH THEIR EARS,

"LIFE" DOES NOT "JUST HAPPEN;" IT DEPENDS UPON APPLICATION OF THE WORD OF GOD.

If a Holy man is not Materially-Prosperous, it can only be because all of their Energy is directed towards Spiritual Gain.

Few people have the power to be successful both Spiritually and Materially.

Those who are ignorant acclaim multimillionaire Preachers as being wiser than Yochannan Baptist and Lord Yeshua, whereas, in Reality, these people are abject Spiritual failures.

Any Yaba-Left Dropout can work Miracles- with 50,000 people praying along with him!

ENOCH ADEBOYE allegedly Healed one of his Elders who was hospitalized in London, and it was later found that not only was his Elder Healed, but the entire wing of the hospital were all Healed at the same time!

The Testimony is probably a lie, and never happened, but no "REDEEMED" Church member would bat an eye, at the idea of one of their ELDERS being Hospitalized- and their whole LEADER needing to go and Pray for him, and Heal him!

That means that the Faith of a REDEEMED Elder is WORTHLESS.

No one in his family could Heal him.

If the Faith of an individual Elder is useless, how can the Faith of a "REDEEMED" LAYMAN be worth anything?

A former Elder of BENSON IDAHOSA'S Church claimed to have been Healed by TUBERCULOSIS JOSHUA. A Benson Idahosa tape message on THE PRAYER OF FAITH is 50% of the reason I am alive today.

But this was a man who worked with Benson Idahosa- and yet he knows NOTHING about Faith?

A co-worker an her sister were members of WINNER'S CHAPEL.

The Sister was hospitalized for Hypertension, and the Pastor came to pray for her there. I told her that that was rubbish, and she wouldn't talk to me again.

She had a relapse of her condition, and her kidneys broke down, as a result of the crappy treatment they gave her.

They demanded [strike]N[/strike]60,000 for DIALYSIS Treatments, and the sister could afford only three, or so. So the Sister, mother of three, died.

No way is WINNER'S CHAPEL a SUCCESSFUL Church- I don't care what their Bank Balance is.

Eviana:

Yes, He has stated many times in scripture that choosing to live a life surrendered to Him=blessings (which can be a variety of things).
Even tough circumstances, can result in blessings too.
Blessings are everywhere if one can see that in his/her life.

BLESSINGS ARE NOT EVERYWHERE!

. MATTHEW 16:13-17:13.

13. When Jesus came
into the coasts
of Caesarea Philippi,
he asked his Disciples,
Saying,

"Whom do men say that I
The Son of Man am?"

14. And they said,

"Some say that thou
art John the Baptist:
some, Elias;
and others, Jeremias,
or one of the Prophets."

15. He saith unto them,

"But whom say ye that I am?"

16. And Simon Peter answered
and said,

"Thou art the Christ,
The Son of The Living God."

17. And Jesus answered
and Said unto him,

"Blessed art thou,
Simon Barjona:
for Flesh and Blood hath not
Revealed It unto thee,
but my Father
Which is in Heaven.
18. "And I Say also unto thee,

'THAT THOU ART PETER,
AND UPON UPON THIS ROCK
I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH;
AND THE GATES OF HELL
SHALL NOT PREVAIL
AGAINST IT.'


19. "And I will give unto thee
The Keys of
The Kingdom of Heaven:
and whatsoever
thou shalt bind on Earth
shall be bound in Heaven:
and whatsoever
thou shalt loose on Earth
shall be loosed in Heaven."

20. Then charged he his Disciples
that they should tell no man
that he was Jesus The Christ.
21. From that time forth
began Jesus to shew
unto his Disciples,
how that he must go
unto Jerusalem,
and suffer many things
of the Elders
and Chief Priests and Scribes,
and be killed,

22. Then Peter took him,
and began to rebuke him,
saying,

"Be it far from thee, Lord:
his shall not be unto thee."

23. But he turned,
and Said unto Peter,

"Get thee behind me, Satan:
thou art an Offence unto me:
for thou savourest not
The Things that be of God,
but those that be of men."

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?
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.
28. "Verily I Say unto you,

'THERE BE SOME
STANDING HERE,
WHICH SHALL NOT
TASTE OF DEATH,
TILL THEY SEE
THE SON OF MAN
COMING IN HIS KINGDOM.' "


YOU people do not believe that Yeshua is The Christ because GOD told you: you merely parrot what someone else told you.

You do not even care what God wants for you: you merely want what others have told you that God gives.

Eviana:

My example would be the following:
When a Christian who's enjoying a relationship with the Lord falls, he/she loses some of God's full presence and abundance in your life.

A CHRISTIAN WHO COMMITS SIN NEVER HAD ANY RELATIONSHIP WITH LORD YESHUA: MERELY A DELUSION!


.   LUKE 14:25-35.

25. And there went great multitudes with him:
and he turned,
and Said unto them,

26. "If any man come to me,
and hate not
his father, and mother,
and wife, and children,
and brethren,
and sisters,
yea, and his own life also,
he cannot be my Disciple.
27. "And whosoever
doth not bear his cross,

cannot be my Disciple.
28. "For which of you,
intending to build a tower,
sitteth not down first,
and counteth the cost,

laid the foundation,
and is not able to finish it,
all that behold it
begin to mock him,
30. "Saying,

'THIS MAN

ABLE TO FINISH.'


31. "Or what king,
going to make war
against another king,
sitteth not down first,
and consulteth

32. "Or else,
while the other is yet
a great way off,
he sendeth an ambassage,

whosoever he be of you
that forsaketh not
all that he hath,

[Continued:]

Eviana:

There's also a sense of guilt and emptiness that comes when one sins...and knows that it's wrong and hurts God.

WHAT IS THIS BULLSHIT?

Some Sinners feel like that- but they cannot all feel the same way. What is wrong with your feelings cannot be what is wrong with everyone.

Many Sinners feel quite full, having committed Sins. You commit the three cardinal Sins every minute, and are conscious of no "emptiness."

As for saying that GOD can be HURT by ANYTHING- WHAT COULD BE MORE FOOLISH AND EGOTISTICAL?

So you think that you are hurting God by committing Sin, do you?

So THAT'S why you do it, is it?

Stop applying stupid Oyinbo Psychology to Africans, because it doesn't apply to people who were not raised with empty Oyinbo Mentality.

Eviana:

What a person really wants, is to know that God's love, favor and approval us on him/her...regardless of material things.

15. "If ye love me,
keep my Commandments.
16. "And I will pray The Father,
and he shall give you
another Comforter,
that he may abide with you
for ever;
17. "Even The Spirit of Truth;
Whom the World

neither knoweth Him:
but ye know Him;
for He dwelleth with you,
and shall be in you.
18. "I will not

I will come to you.
19. "Yet a little while,
and the World seeth me

but ye see me:
because I live,
ye shall live also.
20. "At that day
ye shall know
that I am in my Father,
and ye in me,

21. "He that hath
my Commandments,
and keepeth Them,

to him."

22. Judas saith unto him,
not Iscariot,

"Lord, how is it

manifest thyself unto us,

23. Jesus answered
and Said unto him,

"If a man love me,
he will keep my Words,
and my Father will love him,
and we will come unto him,
and make our abode with him.
24. "He that loveth me not

God's Love is not with Sinners.

Stop lying.

Eviana:

There is a peace that one has when he/she daily tries to live a life surrendered to the Lord.

WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT IS A DELUSIONAL PLACEBO EFFECT.

Thinking that one has satisfied God feels as good as, or even better than the reality.

However, when it is applied to a practical situation, the counterfeit fails miserably.

. MATTHEW 7:12-29.

12. "Therefore all things
whatsoever ye would
that men should do to you,
do ye even so to them:
for this is The Law
and The Prophets.
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:
14. "Because strait is the gate,
and narrow is the Way,
which leadeth unto Life,
and few there be
that find It.
15. Beware of False Prophets,
which come to you
in sheep's clothing,
but inwardly they are
ravening wolves.
16. "Ye shall know them
by their fruits.
Do men gather grapes
of thorns,
or figs of thistles?
17. "Even so every Good Tree
bringeth forth Good Fruit;
but a Corrupt Tree
bringeth forth Evil Fruit.
18. "A Good Tree
cannot bring forth Evil Fruit,
neither can a Corrupt Tree
bring forth Good Fruit.
19. "Every Tree that

Which is in Heaven.

in That Day,

'LORD, LORD,
HAVE WE NOT
PROPHESIED IN THY NAME?
AND IN THY NAME
HAVE CAST OUT DEVILS?
AND IN THY NAME
DONE MANY
WONDERFUL WORKS?'


23. "And then will I
profess unto them,

'I NEVER KNEW YOU:
DEPART FROM ME,
YE THAT WORK INIQUITY.'


24. "Therefore whosoever
heareth these Sayings of mine,
and doeth them,
I will liken him unto
a Wise man,
which built his house
upon a rock:
25. "And the rain descended,
and the floods came,

and it fell not:
for it was founded
upon a rock.
26. "And every one

27. "And the rain descended,

and it fell:
and great was the fall of it."

28. And it came to pass,
when Jesus had ended
these Sayings,
the people were
astonished at his Doctrine:
29. For he Taught them
as (one) having Authority,
and not as the Scribes.

DAMAGE HAPPENS TO THOSE WHO HEAR LORD YESHUA'S SAYINGS, BUT DO NOT DO THEM.

That is not "LIFE," that is "DESTRUCTION."

It does not happen to those who follow the Narrow Path of OBEYING LORD YESHUA'S TEACHINGS.

Eviana:

Sin corrupts that peace and breaks the relationship. But God is not a tyrant who immediately withdraws His blessings.

IF A PERSON HAS A RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD, THEY CAN NEVER COMMIT ANY SORT OF SIN.

You know nothing at all about "RELATIONSHIPS-WITH-GOD."

Stop feeding us Oyinbo lies they created to fill the emptiness they feel as they loot the "World for Lucifer," or whatever it is that they think they are doing.

Eviana:

It's more of a spiritual concept, that occurs than physical.

NOTHING EXISTS PHYSICALLY WITHOUT BEGINNING SPIRITUALLY

Spiritual Things that have no Physical Manifestation are inferior in Purpose to those that do.

Eviana:

Also understand that it's dangerous to base God's blessings as a sign of his approval.

THAT IS A STUPID THING TO THINK!

God gives His Blessings to His Servants and Children.

That is the PROOF that He favours them.

Eviana:

One can never just use physical blessings as a measure of God's approval and blessing in one's life, because the enemy ALSO can bless abundantly with wealth, and be sure that his "wealth" is temporary and not borne out of a genuine love. A person (professed Christian or not)could be living in blatant, open sin, yet be an extremely hard worker and be wealthy or have what appears a "smooth life". That's just the laws of nature..so to speak.

YOU MUST BE REALLY STUPID TO FOLLOW WHAT THE PHARISEES SAID AGAINST LORD YESHUA!

What you have said is BLASPHEMY.

. MATTHEW 12:22-37.

22. Then was
brought unto him
one possessed
with a Devil,
blind, and dumb:
and he healed him,
insomuch that
the blind and dumb
both spake and saw.
23. And all the people
were amazed,
and said,

"Is not this
The Son of David?"

24. But when
the Pharisees heard it,
they said,

"This fellow doth not
cast out devils,
but by Beelzebub
the Prince of the Devils."

25. And Jesus knew their thoughts,
and Said unto them,

"Every kingdom
divided against itself
is brought to desolation;
and every city or house
divided against itself
shall not stand:
26. "And if Satan
cast out Satan,
he is divided
against himself;
how shall then
his Kingdom stand?
27. "And if I by Beelzebub
cast out Devils,
by whom do your children
cast them out?
therefore they shall be
your judges.
28. "But if I cast out Devils
by the Spirit of God,
then The Kingdom of God
is come unto you.
29. "Or else how can one
enter into
a Strong Man's House,
and spoil his Goods,
except he first
bind the Strong Man?
And then he will
spoil his House.
30. "He that is not with me
is against me;
and he that
gathereth not with me
scattereth abroad.
31. "Wherefore I Say
unto you,

'ALL MANNER
OF SIN AND BLASPHEMY
SHALL BE FORGIVEN
UNTO MEN:
BUT THE BLASPHEMY
AGAINST THE HOLY GHOST
SHALL NOT BE FORGIVEN
UNTO MEN.'


32. "And whosoever
speaketh a word
against The Son of Man,
it shall be forgiven him:
but whosoever speaketh
against The Holy Ghost,
it shall not be forgiven him,
neither in this World,
neither in the World to come.
33. "Either make the tree good,
and his fruit good;
or else make the tree corrupt,
and his fruit corrupt:
for the tree is known
by his fruit.
34. "O generation of Vipers,
how can ye,
being evil,
speak good things?
For out of the abundance
of the heart
the mouth speaketh.
35. "A Good man
out of the Good Treasure
of the heart
bringeth forth Good Things:
and an Evil man
out of the Evil Treasure
bringeth forth Evil Things.
36. "But I Say unto you,

'THAT EVERY IDLE WORD
THAT MEN SHALL SPEAK,
THEY SHALL GIVE
ACCOUNT THEREOF
IN THE DAY OF JUDGMENT.' “


37. "For by thy words
thou shalt be justified,
and by thy words
thou shalt be condemned."

Eviana:

If you work hard, then this more than likely will occur.
However, if sin is present and God tries to repeatedly get one's attention (to confess and repent), but the person ignores, then He moves back slowly but surely and allows one to do his/her thing. Sin runs its course and finally destroys a person.

THIS IS NONSENSE OYINBO CHRISTIANITY THAT HAS DESTROYED THE WORLD FOR OVER A THOUSAND YEARS.

. MATTHEW 9:16-17.

16. "No man putteth
a piece of new cloth
unto an old garment,
for that which is put in
to fill it up
taketh from the garment,
and the rent is made worse.
17. "Neither do men
put new wine
into old bottles:
else the bottles break,
and the wine runneth out,
and the bottles perish:
but they put new wine
into new bottles,
and both are preserved."

WHAT YOUR CHURCHES TEACH AS "CHRISTIANITY" IS ACTUALLY CONTRADICTING WHAT LORD YESHUA TAUGHT, BUT PRETENDING THAT IT WILL ALL WORK OUT.

Eviana:

Some of the posters here tried to explain it well.

Hope I didn't confuse you.

IF YOU FOLLOW THE ACTUAL WORDS OF LORD YESHUA, INSTEAD OF YOUR OWN INVENTIONS, THERE CAN BE NO CONFUSION.

You are just lying, that's all.
Re: Does God Withdraw His Blessings From His Children When They Sin? by Eviana(f): 10:35pm On Dec 12, 2019
Let me give just a few of the numerous scriptures (which I failed to do on my first post here), that will further support my previous answer.

SIN AND HUMANS

Romans 3:23 (KJV)
23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God

1 John 3:4 (KJV)
4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

1 John 5:18 (KJV)
18 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.

GOD'S VIEW OF SIN

Isaiah 59:2 (KJV)
2 But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.

1 Thessalonians 4:7 (KJV)
7 For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness

Matthew 5:48 (KJV)
48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

GOD'S REMEDY FOR VICTORY OVER SIN/DEATH...HIS LOVE FOR FALLEN HUMANS


John 3:16 (KJV)
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.

2 Peter 3:9 (KJV)
9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

OVERCOMING SIN
1 John 1:9 (KJV)
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.


Psalm 37:24 (KJV)
24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand

Proverbs 24:16 (KJV)
16 For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.

GOD'S BLESSINGS

Lamentations 3:22-23 (KJV)
22 It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.

23 They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness

FAILURE TO CONFESS/REPENT OF SIN

Romans 6:1 (KJV)
6 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?

Hebrews 10:26 (KJV)
26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,

Matthew 7:13 (KJV)
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:

God's blessings is evidence of his LOVE! 1John 4:8

No human deserves such blessings for now because we're all descendants of Adam (the rebel)! Romans 3:23, 5:12

Whatever dealings God is having with Adam's descendants now is due to his mercy or grace (underserved kindness). Hebrew 4:16

His REAL blessings will abound when Christ's sacrifice is applied in our case and his rulership is extended to the earth! Matthew 6:9-10 compared to Psalms 67:6, Isaiah 65:21-25

So God's blessings have been withdrawn the day Adam eat the forbidden fruit!

Otherwise we need not keep praying to God and start waiting for his response without hearing him, instead we will speak and he will answer IMMEDIATELY as his blessed children! Isaiah 65:24

God bless you Sir!

Recall that Jesus Christ said, "Seek first the Kingdom of God(Holiness) and God's righteousness in order that all these things — the blessings and rewards of the Kingdom of God — shall be added onto you". Well, unless you are first holy, and then approved righteous by God Himself, God will not hand any of the blessings and rewards to you. So, if you are still wrapped up in sin, it means you remain unrighteous and hence the blessings and rewards of the Kingdom of God remain out of your reach. Simple! undecided

John 10:10
Satan comes to steal
A. That passage says absolutely nothing of Satan. Rather it points to those who are these thieves whom God accuses of coming to steal, kill, and destroy His flock. undecided
7 So Jesus said again, “I assure you, I am the gate for the sheep.
8 All those who came before me were thieves and robbers. The sheep did not listen to them.
9 I am the gate. Whoever enters through me will be saved. They will be able to come in and go out. They will find everything they need.
10 [b]A thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy. But I came to give life—life that is full and good.[/b]
11 “I am the good shepherd, and the good shepherd gives his life for the sheep.
12 The worker who is paid to keep the sheep is different from the shepherd. The paid worker does not own the sheep. So when he sees a wolf coming, he runs away and leaves the sheep alone. Then the wolf attacks the sheep and scatters them.
13 The man runs away because he is only a paid worker. He does not really care for the sheep. - John 10 vs 7 - 13
B. The identity of the thieves was revealed by God as those who God formerly had as shepherds over His sheep, before God then declared that He alone would shepherd His sheep after firing them all.
1. The word of the Lord came to me. He said,
2 “Son of man, speak against the shepherds of Israel for me. Speak to them for me. Tell them that this is what the Lord God says: ‘You shepherds of Israel have only been feeding yourselves. It will be very bad for you! Why don’t you shepherds feed the flock?
3 You eat the fat sheep and use their wool to make clothes for yourselves. You kill the fat sheep, but you don’t feed the flock.
4 You have not made the weak strong. You have not cared for the sick sheep. You have not put bandages on the sheep that were hurt. Some of the sheep wandered away, and you did not go get them and bring them back. You did not go to look for the lost sheep. No, you were cruel and severe—that’s the way you tried to lead the sheep!
5 “‘And now the sheep are scattered because there was no shepherd. They became food for every wild animal, so they were scattered.
6 My flock wandered over all the mountains and on every high hill. My flock was scattered over all the face of the earth. There was no one to search or to look for them.’”
7 So, you shepherds, listen to the word of the Lord.
8 The Lord God says, “I swear that wild animals will catch my sheep, and my people will become food for all those animals because they did not have any real shepherds. My shepherds did not look out for my flock. They did not feed my flock. No, they only killed the sheep and fed themselves!”
9 So, you shepherds, listen to the word of the Lord!
10 The Lord God says, “I am against the shepherds. I will demand my sheep from them. I will fire them. They will not be my shepherds anymore. Then the shepherds will not be able to feed themselves, and I will save my flock from their mouths. Then my sheep will not be food for them.”
11 The Lord God says, “I myself will be their Shepherd. I will search for my sheep and take care of them.
12 If a shepherd is with his sheep when they begin to wander away, he will go searching for them. In the same way I will search for my sheep. I will save them and bring them back from all the places where they were scattered on that dark and cloudy day.
13 I will bring them back from those nations. I will gather them from those countries and bring them back to their own land. I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, by the streams, and in all the places where people live.
14 I will lead them to grassy fields. They will go to the place high on the mountains of Israel and lie down on good ground and eat the grass. They will eat in rich grassland on the mountains of Israel.
15 Yes, I will feed my flock, and I will lead them to a place of rest.” This is what the Lord God said. - Ezekiel 34 vs 1 - 15
God declared Himself against all shepherds; He disavowed every man who claims to be a shepherd over His own meaning every man out there who pretends to be a shepherd over God's flock is a liar, a thief who comes to steal, to kill and to destroy God's flock. That is what God said. undecided

That is why Jesus Christ told you that He alone is the Good Shepherd — every other shepherd is a liar and a thief who comes to steal, kill and destroy God's flock using God's name. Satan is not the thief! undecided

This only applies as far as the righteous, those whom God in fact blesses. As for the unrighteous, all things are temporary, even those we consider blessings, much the same as they are for the unbelievers. undecided

No God does not but sin opens door for the enemy to stop it.
That doesn't apply as far as the righteous! undecided
