Fallen Souls
by Daniel Rosenblit

 

Whom is your number one >God or yourself?

What path do you walk in life> God’s way or your own? Whomever you live for, that is who you also love the most. It’s a matter of either a life of self-will, or a life consecrated to God.

 

Christ said, “Those who save their life will lose it, but those who lose their life for my sake will preserve it.”

 

Therefore, according to the Lord if self-will predominates in you, it means that you are not heaven bound. . . not saved! Thus, contrary to what many Churches teach this process of learning to love God more than our own life is an essential part of the gospels. Consecration is conveniently overlooked by many in favor of passages that only require you to have faith. Doesn’t James tell us, “Faith without works is dead?” Dead means its worthless!

 

The faith aspect is so greatly emphasized because it appears like it’s a guaranteed way to get saved.

 

But, the Bible only guarantees this fellow salvation – “Those who persevere to the end will be saved”. Whether we like it or not, the rest of us are all on trial before God.

 

>Additionally, recall that episode in the Bible when the Lord cursed the fig tree that didn’t bear  fruit? Thus, you don’t have to be a genius to figure out when we face our day of judgment  if we haven’t bore  a reasonable amount of good fruit in our life, likewise we will be cursed! Wake up. . . this entire world is a testing ground and the Lord is regularly testing us, wanting to see who is worth saving and who is not!  How you live your life is proof of where your heart is!

 

 If you notice the more painful directives of Christ such as the ones listed above, are not preached over the pulpit. Why?

 

Because most Pastors are deceiving plus they themselves are also deceived!

 

My friends its an easy thing to become brainwashed when all the Bible studies that you ever attend emphasize only certain comforting scriptures, and totally ignore uncomfortable ones. . . such as the uncomfortable ones listed above! A great many Pastors totally ignore uncomfortable things that Christ said.  By doing so this is what we get. . .

 

There are 2 different gospels preached in Churches. The first one only looks at comforting Biblical passages therefore making salvation appear easy.  The second is more honest in that it looks at the entire gospel taking into account everything that Christ Himself taught - this one makes salvation seem far more costly.  Which one is the true one? Which one should one believe??

 

Of course, the full gospel.  Don’t you agree?

 

Additionally, back in 1978 I became gravely ill, actually died, went through the Judgment, and then the Lord allowed me to live again.  I wrote a pamphlet detailing this entire blessed experience. This pamphlet is titled, “Judgment Day Experience”, and is  available from me for free upon request. (every part of that blessed experience is backed up by scripture verses to prove to all that the experience was authentic. . . thus this experience is of great spiritual value. Also, this pamphlet is freely displayed at this web-site: www.near-death.com , listed under my name - Daniel Rosenblit).

 

Among other things in that blessed experience I was shown that only disciples are saved, not the others!

 

Common sense says that since I was taught directly by God, just like the Apostles, my testimony ought to hold great weight. . . greater weight than a Pastor who acquired his wisdom at Seminary (schools of men).

 

 By the authority of my eye-witness testimony I will tell you that the difficult gospel is the true one. . . the other that is preached (the one that asks for only faith in Jesus without righteous living attached to it), is merely an invention of ‘wishful thinking’, and followers of this false gospel will never meet God, but rather be caste into the infamous lake of fire!

 

On account of my death account I am a person who saw with my own eyes both realms of light/ unspeakable joy and realms of darkness / unspeakable suffering. Sadly, upon death 95% of the population go to this realm of darkness and unspeakable suffering! Why? Is God that tough?  No, He definitely is not! Its because very few people love God  the way He requires > the total commitment of our lives. . . a consecrated life! - “Making your body a living sacrifice, for that is your reasonable service (By the way, reasonable service means the minimum). Yes, we must do at least this if we wish to be saved!

 

This doesn’t mean that we can’t enjoy a beer every now and then.  It means that we don’t drink one beer, then another, then another! Get it! God is a reasonable God and He permits us to partake in these things as long as they are enjoyed only in moderation.  The spiritual walk is about  having your entire life dovetailed into service to God.  Carnal pleasures are to be enjoyed only in moderation. Because, when a carnal pleasure moves for moderation into the mainstay. . . it degenerates into a vice and becomes a form of idolatry.  Also, indulging in vices render us unfruitful in good works. . . thus preparing us not for heaven, but only for hell!

 

In that death-experience I was blessed with the Lord kept showing me its all about learning to ‘lose your life for His sake’. . that is the only way back to God; learning to love God and righteous living more than self. My friends, none of us have come into this world full of virtue (things like, humility, patience, courage, compassion, hard working, etc.).  These are qualities that we must develop through sacrifice, discipline, and hard work. Through developing these virtues one becomes more and more like Jesus and the Saints.

 

How do we live in this world, financially provide for ourselves, and still be spiritual at the same time? The answer are two words; WORK and PRAYER.

 

Not only prayer. . .  but WORK and prayer! If we labor for God it helps develop love of God. . . and keeps us close to Him. Otherwise, ‘An idle mind becomes the devil’s workshop’. An idle mind tends to meditate on carnal desires. . . so these desires become stronger. Thus, if we don’t labor for God we can easily become guilty of falling in this terrible sin of the ancient Hebrews -  “They praise Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me (our minds become enmeshed in carnal desires)” 

 

Most people don’t have the blessings of working for a church or working for a charity. But, that does not have to be a hindrance in their spiritual walk.

 

A way to win here is to obtain any ordinary honest job, and even though you have a paycheck attached to that job, working that job becomes your devotion to God. God will accept this as a devotion as long as you perform your work without thinking of / being motivated by the money you will receive on payday.

 

(Whether you think of the money or not it will come to you all the same. So, if you totally take your mind off the money and only labor as ‘unto God’ your labor becomes holy work! Thus, work performed in this fashion become another form of prayer! Again, this becomes a tool to gradually help us lose our life for His sake).

 

*A sure fire technique to ‘lose your life for His sake’ is this – “Any activity that you can perform for the love of God is allowed, and all activities that you can’t do in service to God you eliminate.

 

Here is an additional piece of information that the Lord wants me to add. . .

 

In this creation all life lives on at the expense of other life. All must eat other creatures in order to sustain themselves. A person who serves God produces Good fruit. This good fruit easily pays his debt he incurs on this planet.  Additionally, his service properly performed develops the virtues; humility and love.  Through this service the  Believer becomes a giving person. . . a bit  like God, who is the giver of life!  We are not born with these virtues, we must develop them through our labors.

 

On the other hand, the person who doesn’t bear fruit is like a cancer on God’s green earth, for

He takes (consumes), but adds nothing! Kind of like satan!

 

For reasons such as this the Bible says, “If you don’t work you are worse than the Infidel.”

 

THUS CHOOSE TODAY WHO YOU WILL SERVE – God or yourself.
