Glory be to God! ** 🙋🏾♀️ STAY TUNED UNTIL THE VERY END OF THIS EPISODE! ** 🚩TUNE IN EVERY 2 TO 3 DAYS FOR NEW EPISODES! Follow me on Facebook under AuntCynthia Whitaker 😊💥 Join me today on the podcast (link below) as I discuss: How the "heart" of man is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked (study Jeremiah 17:9-10), who can know it? The dark heart of a man that has not been regenerated, is filled with evil twisted perverse abominations, blasphemies, malevolent thoughts and schemes, acts of sexual immorality, thefts, murders, adulteries, acts of greed and covetousness, wickedness, deceit, unrestrained conduct, envy and jealousy, slander and profanity, and the like. Unrighteousness is settled deep in the heart of a man that has not been reborn of the Spirit of God! Christ Jesus tells us about these things in Mark 7:17-23, how it is not what GOES INTO a man that defiles and dishonors him. But that it is what COMES OUT of a man's heart that defiles him and dishonors him!
Therefore, we will be taking a look at those sins that will keep us from inheriting the Kingdom of God. As we await the Day of His return to initiate Final Judgment, the question becomes, "What kind of people shall we be in the meantime?"
Peter answers this question when he prophetically talks about that coming Day (The Day of the Lord), when Jesus Christ will judge the inhabited world in righteousness, bringing about fiery destruction of this earth. Peter instructs us to be diligent and make every effort to be found by Him [at His return] spotless and blameless!
🚩 2 Peter 3 - AMP
The Coming Day of the Lord
"First of all, know [without any doubt] that mockers will come in the last days with their mocking, following after their own human desires 4 and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming [what has become of it]? For ever since the fathers fell asleep [in death], all things have continued [exactly] as they did from the beginning of creation.” 5 For they willingly forget [the fact] that the heavens existed long ago by the word of God, and the earth was formed out of water and by water, 6 through which the world at that time was destroyed by being flooded with water. 7 But by His word the present heavens and earth are being reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly people. 8 Nevertheless, do not let this one fact escape your notice, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years is like one day. 9 The Lord does not delay [as though He were unable to act] and is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is [extraordinarily] patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.
🚩 A New Heaven and Earth
10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will vanish with a [mighty and thunderous] roar, and the [material] elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and the works that are on it will be burned up.
👉🏾👉🏾 11 Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be [in the meantime] in holy behavior [that is, in a pattern of daily life that sets you apart as a believer] and in godliness [displaying profound reverence toward our awesome God], 12 [while you earnestly] look for and await the coming of the day of God. For on this day the heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the [material] elements will melt with intense heat! 13 But in accordance with His promise we expectantly await new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells.
14 So, beloved, since you are looking forward to these things, be diligent and make every effort to be found by Him [at His return] spotless and blameless, in peace [that is, inwardly calm with a sense of spiritual well-being and confidence, having lived a life of obedience to Him]."
Amen! 🎯 REPENT and BELIEVE and TURN back to God!
