THOSE WHO STILL HAVE FAITH IN THE LAW OF GOD

Why do legalists make new garments with their works every day? Because they don’t know their works cannot make them righteous. Those who make their garments with fig leaves are leading legalistic lives. These misguided believers have to change their garments on a regular basis. They have to make new garments every Sunday when they go to church. “Dear God, I sinned so much last week. But Lord, I believe that You saved me on the Cross. Lord, please wash away my sins with the blood of the Cross!”

They sew up a new set of garments right then and there. “Oh, praise the Lord. Hallelujah!” But they soon have to make another set of garments at home. Why? Because their old ones have worn out. “Dear Lord, I have sinned again over the last three days. Please forgive me.”

They make and wear new garments of repentance again and again. In the beginning, the garments may last several days, but after a while, they need a new set every day. As they can never live by the law of God, they become ashamed of themselves. “Oh, this is so embarrassing. Lord, oh, Lord, I have sinned once again!” And they have to make new garments of repentance. “Oh, Lord, it is so difficult to make garments of fig leaves today.” They work so hard to sew up a new set.

It is impossible for the flesh to be sanctified because the flesh has lusts and desires. Because of that, we are made righteous only by believing in the water and the blood of Jesus. Can we enter the Kingdom of Heaven by not sinning anymore and cleansing ourselves as pure as snow? It is prideful thinking for a human being, who has the lusts and passions of the flesh, to become sanctified by avoiding to sin. It is impossible.

People can neither believe in the gospel nor be born again because they think about faith with carnal minds. Jesus said, “That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit” (John 3:6). It is impossible to become righteous with a carnal mind. You may also think it is impossible because you will sin tomorrow, even though how thoroughly you repent and believe in Jesus until today. You may think, ‘How can I say I am without sin when I continue sinning even now?’ Is it possible for you to become righteous if you think carnally, as the flesh does? It is impossible to become sanctified with the flesh.

SERMON ONE


When we turn to the Old Testament, we see that the people of Israel were able to meet with God through their forefathers of faith. In other words, the Israelites were able to encounter God through His Law that was given through Moses, and through His prophets. And according to the sacrificial system, they could be remitted from their sins through the sacrifices offered in the Tabernacle. Therefore, the love of God and His salvation of the remission of sin, which were manifested through the Tabernacle and its sacrificial system, were very important to them, constituting the indispensable Truth that they infallibly had to believe in and obey in order to attain life and salvation. As such, for the people of Israel, the sacrificial system, manifested in theTabernacle system and instituted for their just salvation, was as precious as life itself.

Why would people cry at that time? Those who do not believe in the Lord WILL CRY in FEAR of the JUDGEMENT because they did not believe, and those who do not believe with the correct faith will cry regretfully for their ignorance of the true gospel. Some will say, “Oh, God lives, and Jesus is God,” and cry regretfully for not having believed.

And some who did believe in Jesus but were not born again for they had been misled in their faith will cry out in fear of the judgment to come, as they see with their very eyes the coming of the Lord. If that is what the Lord said, that is the way it is going to be. Some people live in ‘cuckoo land’ all of their own making as if they are going to live forever, and they steadfastly and firmly believe that the universe will never be destroyed. But the end of this world will definitely come when the Lord returns, and whether our Lord will come shortly or not depends on whether the Lord’s will has been completed or not.

WHAT IS THE HUMAN NATURE? A MASS OF SINS

The Bible enumerates the sins of human beings: “For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue has muttered perversity. No one calls for justice, nor does any plead for truth. They trust in empty words and speak lies; they conceive evil and bring forth iniquity. They hatch vipers’ eggs and weave the spider’s web; he who eats of their eggs dies, and from that which is crushed a viper breaks out. Their webs will not become garments, nor will they cover themselves with their works; their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands. Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood; their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths. The way of peace they have not known, and there is no justice in their ways; they have made themselves crooked paths; whoever takes that way shall not know peace” (Isaiah 59:3-.8 )

SATAN WORKS THROUGH THE CHRISTIANS LIKE A FORTUNETELLER

Satan enables demon-possessed people to make prayers of prophecy. They prophesy by saying, “You will be a precious leader. Thousands of sheep will graze in front of you. God will train you in the future and make a precious leader out of you.” To others they say delusive words such as, “You will become a precious servant of God. You will be a very dignified servant of God,” in order to encourage people to follow them and live as servants of demons throughout their lives. Fortunetellers also make prophecies about other people’s futures. “You should be careful of water in the future.” “You will make a lot of money.” “A noble man will appear from the east and help you.” These are examples of the things they say.

The first symptom that shows up in demon-possessed persons is that they make false prophecies. Then they speak in tongues that they can’t even understand themselves. They experience shivering and they even show symptoms of personality disorder. If you meet a shaman or fortuneteller, can you assert that they have sound personalities? They often talk rudely to people who are much older than they are.

The Lord continues, “Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth WILL MOURN, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.”

It is said the signs of the Lord’s coming will appear in heaven. We do not know exactly how the signs will manifest it self, but the Bible tells us that He will come with a glorious and magnificent presence surrounded by the host of archangels. The sky will be full of magnificent stars shining ever so brightly. And the angels and the host of Heaven will enter amongst the white clouds, and the Lord will appear, sitting on the white throne in the sky. It teaches us that all those who are alive after the tribulation will see this glorious sight with mourning and anguish as they actually see the coming of the Lord after the showing of these many signs.

Garments of fig leaves soon wither away. As you know, a fig leaf looks like a hand with five fingers. So, to put on a garment of fig leaves means to hide one’s sins behind good deeds. If you put on garments of fig leaves and sat down, the leaves would soon be torn to pieces. I used to make armor out of arrowroot leaves to play soldier when I was a child. But no matter how carefully I wore them, they would be torn apart by the end of the day.

In the same way, humankind’s fragile flesh makes sanctification impossible. But the salvation of the water and the blood, the baptism of Jesus and His death on the Cross saved more than enough sinners to testify to the greatness of the love of God. That is how superior the love of God is to the law of God.

People can neither believe the gospel nor be born again with carnal minds Christians who identify themselves as ‘DELIVERED ’ SINNERS think with carnal minds. To be spiritually minded is to believe in God’s word. The carnal mind is a human mind. It’s HUMAN WISDOM. The flesh cannot help sinning, but we can become righteous by believing in the baptism and the Cross of Jesus. The Bible says that we can never become righteous and sanctified by trying not to sin.

Can one enter the Kingdom of Heaven by becoming a holy person who never sins again after believing in Jesus? Or is it possible only by the salvation once for all? Are sinners actually made to be righteous by the grace of the remission of sins? It is impossible for you to be righteous with your carnal mind. The flesh never can become righteous. The flesh always wants something to eat whenever it feels hungry.

All those Christians who are now living in this declining world must collect their minds and start believing in the gospel Truth, the gospel of the water and the Spirit. Once more, you must think about “Perhaps in truth, isn’t it that I believe in golden calves in place of God? Isn’t it that I love material fortunes more than God?” If yes, then, you must come back before God who is righteous, just, and benevolent and believe in the gospel of the water and the Spirit.

Should you be in doubt after reading this book( pictured above), I wish for you to EXAMINE YOUR FAITH once more in reference to the Word that God speaks through me, the author. Now, I declare that Christians spread all over the world worshipping golden calves to be a true HERETIC before God.

Aren’t you perhaps someone who is worshipping golden calves as God now? If so, I hope you will revert back and by believing in the gospel of the water and the Spirit, worship the true God of the Trinity—God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. I send before you this message in the name of Jesus Christ who has saved us all from all our sins, given us everlasting life, and allowed us to receive the inheritance of Heaven. 

The earth will be like that in the end. Such science fiction movies are not made without any basis. It is actually very possible. The scientists inform us that the dinosaurs had suddenly disappeared from the earth because such an asteroid or a meteorite with a diameter reaching a few kilometers had fallen on the earth and the resulting dust from this devastating impact had covered the whole atmosphere of the earth, which lead to an ice age.

By the way, when the Lord says, “I will do this,” we should understand what He is saying and believe in what He says. In reality, it is very difficult for us to imagine such a thing. We sometimes see disastrous events like planes crashing down, rocks falling from the mountain, and large ships sinking. But it is hard to imagine the stars of the universe crashing into one another, large meteorites and asteroids speeding down like unguided missiles and crashing into the earth at an amazing speed, and with the result the earth immediately turning into a ball of fire, eventually bringing its end speedily. But they have made these frightening movies under the validation of scientists because the possibility of such disasters occurring is more than enough.

It is hard to comprehend the Lord’s teachings about the period after the tribulation with our limited intelligence, but I believe it is very possible because that is exactly what the Lord tells us in the Scriptures. If the earth is totally demolished, it will be impossible for us to live on it unless the Lord renews it. That is why the saying “Behold, I make all things new” is recorded in the Book of Revelation (Revelation 21:5). The Lord says that He will make anew this world and will reign with us for a thousand year, and He will later dwell with us eternally in a place called “a new heaven and a new earth” (Revelation 21:1).

WE MUST BELIEVE IN THE TEACHINGS CONCERNING THE EVENTS AFTER THE TRIBULATION

There is no reason for God to let this world continue on after the born-again children of God go through the Tribulation. In addition, can you imagine the stars falling from the sky like celestial missiles? Have you seen the movies ‘Armageddon’ or ‘Deep Impact’? These movies are about some heroic individuals saving the earth from an asteroid that is falling toward the earth at a tremendous speed, ready to bring on the total destruction of the earth.

In a desperate act to save the earth, the main characters fly a spaceship to outer space and track the asteroid, and they then destroy the asteroid in the sky with a nuclear bomb. It was impressive to see how a single meteorite having been blown apart from the asteroid could fall into the Atlantic Ocean, which created a huge disastrous tidal wave (tsunami), and wiped away large cities on the east coast of the United States.

Those who do not know themselves to be masses of sin ask His forgiveness for their every little sin. They go before Him without knowing the terrible weight of their sins and just pray, “Please forgive this tiny bit of sin. I will never do it again.” They also try to deceive Him with such prayers.

We do not commit sin just once, but do so continually until we die. We would have to keep asking for forgiveness until the very last day of our lives, because we cannot stop sinning and our flesh serves the law of sin until we die. Being forgiven for one little sin cannot solve the problem of sin because we commit countless sins every day. So, the only way we can be free of sin is by passing all our sins onto Jesus.

We will now look at the SYMPTOMS of those possessed by DEMONS. First, when we examine the symptoms of possession by a demon in a fortuneteller or shaman, we see that they experience trembling fits, trances and even fainting. Then their tongues get twisted and odd words come out of their mouths against their will. They speak in strange tongues.

Both sorcerers and Christians who have been possessed by demons through the laying on of hands are joint owners of this experience. When a charismatic revivalist takes out his mike and shouts, “With fire, with fire, with fire,” the congregation gets excited and loses self-control. People who want to receive the laying on of hands from him come up to the front. They experience uncontrollable shaking fits and speak in tongues. These symptoms are the work of demons that are pretending to do the work of the Holy Spirit.

People who are possessed by evil spirits, which can be summoned by shamans and fortunetellers of every primitive religion, show the SAME SYMPTOMS as Christians who are possessed by demons through the laying on of hands. However, people misunderstand this, despite this EVIDENCE. Those Christians are plunged into deep confusion because they think they have received the Holy Spirit when they experience these kinds of symptoms.

What would happen if the sun does not shine and give off its much-needed heat? What would happen to the earth? It would be very dark place, right? What about all the plants and trees? They would all die. What about people? If there are no plants, people will not be able to live either. And what would happen if the moon does not illuminate at night? It would always be a pitch-dark world.

The Lord teaches us what will take place after the tribulation here on earth. It would be somewhat unfair if the world continued on regardless even after the born-again people suffered through the tribulation. But the bible informs us that the world will be destroyed immediately.

What did the Lord say about the way things will unfold after the tribulation? Firstly, He said that the sun would be darkened. And He also said the moon will not give its light, the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heaven will be shaken. This means that the preaching of the gospel will be impossible during this time when the people of God and His servants who are born-again suffer death at the hands of the servants of Satan.

Will the Lord leave this universe unscathed at that time? It says that the sun and the moon of the sky will not give light. It teaches us that God will do this immediately and suddenly. And He also says that the stars will fall from heaven and that the powers of the heaven will be shaken. It means that the harmony of the universe God has created will break down.

In the solar system, all planets revolve around the sun. But the Lord teaches us that the order of the universe will collapse after the tribulation. That is why we need to accept this teaching and keep it in our minds.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN AFTER THE TRIBULATION?

< Matthew 24:29-31 > “Immediately after the Tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then the sign of the Son of Man WILL APPEAR in HEAVEN, and then all the tribes of the earth will MOURN, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.”

We will look at today’s Scripture passage, and we will study what will happen after the Tribulation and what God wants to teach us concerning it. The Lord said, “Immediately after the Tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.” The first part of Matthew 24 says that many of us who are born again will be handed over to death and others that are alive will endure untold hatred and persecution from all people until the end.

These that are alive will not suffer physical death until they have received their salvation. When the Tribulation comes upon this land, there will be some people of God who will be martyred and some who will even hide in underground drainage pipes until the Day of the Lords appearance. Simply put, this world at this time will be in total chaos.

In the Old Testament, the Israelites had to live by the law of God to be saved from their sins, but they couldn’t be saved. Because the Lord knows our weaknesses and the fact that we are incomplete, He set aside His commandments. We can never be saved through our works alone.

Jesus said that He would save us through His gospel of the water and the Spirit. He said, “I shall deliver all of you from your sins Myself.” God prophesied thus in Genesis. “The Seed of woman shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel” (Genesis 3:15).

After Adam and Eve sinned and fell, they made garments of fig leaves in a bid to keep their sinfulness from God. But God called them and made garments of skin as a symbol of salvation. Genesis talks about two kinds of garments of salvation. One was made of fig leaves, and the other was made of skins. Which one do you think is better? Of course, garments of skins are better because the life of an animal was offered to protect man.

THERE IS NO RIGHTEOUS PERSON WHO HAS SIN

The Apostle Paul talks about the faith to salvation to those who pretend to be good, so people regard Romans as the word of God that tells about faith. Some people wonder about those who identify themselves as the righteous. In fact, those whose sins are forgiven by Jesus are RIGHTEOUS because all their sins are forgiven. “Jesus is faithful” means “He faithfully saved sinners from their sins.”

Some people say that they are ‘delivered’ sinners, but there cannot be such people before God. How can a person still be a sinner after he/she has been delivered from sin? We are saved if Jesus saved us and are sinners if Jesus did not save us. There is no “MIDDLE ” in salvation. Is there a righteous person who has sin? There is no righteous person who has sin. The person is a sinner if he/she has sin, but righteous and sinless if he/she believes in Jesus. How can we settle the problem of daily and future sins? People think that they are inevitable sinners because they sin everyday and will sin until they die. However, we are made RIGHTEOUS by BELIEVING in the GOSPEL that says Jesus took away the sins of the world, including future sins, at the Jordan River and was crucified. “A righteous person who has sin” does not make any sense.

Is it reasonable to think that a person is still in debt though he/she already paid his/her debts? Let’s suppose that there once was a man who had a lot of money, but his son fell into a bad habit of buying candies on credit at all the stores of the town everyday as he grew up. However, his rich father had paid enough money that exceeded his son’s life long debts to every store in advance, he could never be a debtor even though he enjoyed eating candies everyday without paying money until he die.

The Lord saved us with the righteousness of taking our sins onto Him once and for all in the Jordan River. He perfectly saved all of us. Therefore, we can never become sinners again, however weak we may be. God says that we are made righteous if we don’t deny what He did.

What is BENEFICIAL, BELIEVING or NOT BELIEVING?

God so loved us that He REMOVED all of our sins without even asking us.
God gives the remission of sins and eternal life to those who BELIEVE in the baptism and blood of Jesus which blotted out the sin of the world.
