Part two

If we do not "cut off and cast away" during our times of Isolation  - that which displeases and offends The Lord, then He will cast us away  -

      "Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he takes away"  "If a man abide not in me he is cast forth as a branch  -  and is withered, and men gather them, and cast them into the fire and they are burned".

  All who abide not in Christ end up in religion  - a false form of Christ, where men gather them and cast them into the fire  - not the fire of the Holy Ghost but hell fire  "woe unto you Scribes and Pharisees (and pastors)....you search land and sea to make one disciple then "make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves"

""But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth". What a sobering thought! We tend to think of "Sinners" as the ones who will be weeping  and wailing on Judgment Day but it's actually all who do not "abide in Christ"

"Abide" , verb, " to remain,  continue; stay, dwell with, reside with, make one's home with" - to continue in a particular condition,  attitude,  relationship,  etc. Simply saying a "Sinners prayer" one time isn't good enough  - not nearly. We must enter into and maintain  a real, lasting relationship with our Christ  by inviting His Spirit to abide in us. One prayer one time, then never living with Him is like a man and wife, who stand at the wedding altar (picture Christ and you), with the Father officiating the ceremony- what if the bride said "i do" or "i will" but then never consummated the marriage? Would the words spoken once be enough? Or even spoken many times, over a lifetime? Are words alone enough? Religion says Yes! Merely confess your sins, or just the fact you are a sinner, then profess Christ as your savior from then on and you'll be fine. You DO NOT HAVE TO BELIEVE THE LORD to be a "Christian" in religious churches. Indeed, they will twist the scriptures to support your unbelief   - rather than cause you to bend and submit to the truth. False doctrines abound in religious Christianity,  but why? Because they do not believe,  not really.  Yes, they will sing songs to Him, yes they will listen to the Word being taught but they never change into his image.  He is never allowed to abide in them and they never abide in him. Because they participate in religious rituals every week they think it's enough. They are content to remain hearers of the Word only, building their houses (churches) on sand  "And everyone that hears these sayings of mine and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand.....and it fell, AND GREAT WAS THE FALL OF IT". 

This house built on sand  - this house where people abide who do not hear AND obey God's Word, who do not do the works he's called us to (#1 is to believe), This house is also known as "Babylon the Great" who's fall will cause all who trusted in and sought after, her riches, to "weep and wail" and "cast dust on their heads" "alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich" - yes, all who use the name of Çhrist to become rich in this world's goods, all who set their hearts on worldly wealth, who teach that "gain is godliness"  - every church that makes the receiving of money a part of their holy responsibilities before God  - you shall weep and you shall wail for you put your trust in Babylon,  not in the God you so eloquently exalt in song each week, as a mighty God! Mighty to do what, exactly? In this life? Cast out devils, heal the sick, raise the dead? If the only experience you've ever had, or expect to have, is that he will escort you to Heaven, when your body expires, you won't be going to Heaven. You were a bride who never entered into a marriage relationship, but expected all the benefits of a caring husband,.
