I sent this message written by my husband Carl on May 28th to all my lists. However, it never made it out to the walkingintruth list because the mailing list was down and has been down for the past 10 days. My hosting provider put me back on the old system until the problem is solved. I am so sorry for the inconvenience that it may have caused. There was no way that I could communicate to all of you to let you know what happened. I ask that you would keep this Internet Ministry in your Daily Prayers for this is the second time that this has happened. The first time, it was 9 days and this time, 10 days before I could get a message out again. I hold onto and claim the Scriptures which say - 2 Corinthians 2:14 - "Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savor of His knowledge by us in every place." 2 Thessalonians 3:1 - "Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you." May God Almighty smash down every hindrance that would keep His Mighty Word of Salvation and Deliverance from going forth over these air waves to turn the hearts and souls of mankind unto Himself. In Jesus' Awesome Name I pray, Connie ********************************************* COME OUT, GET OUT, AND STAY OUT

"And I heard another
voice from heaven, saying, COME OUT
of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins,
and that ye receive not of her plagues."
---JESUS
Here in Revelation Chapter 18 and verse 4 we have
the voice of the LORD JESUS ,Himself, crying out from Heaven
and saying to His people ----"Come
out of her, my people "........
Let me say at the very outset of this message
that God is a "COME OUT" God. We always think of "God"
as "Joiner" type of fellow. Of course, we mainly get that
idea from the wimpy Biblically ignorant "preachers" in the
land who constantly trumpet the message of---"Come and
join the church", or "Join
the church of your
choice ". And, of course, this call to
"join the church" is usually
based on the admonition of Scripture that we find in the
book of Hebrews chapter 10 and
verse 25 which reads---"Not
forsaking the assembling of ourselves
together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one
another: and so much the more, as ye see the day
approaching".
Most of us read this verse and emphasize the word
"assembling", and the
admonition Not to forsake it; but
today I would like to call your attention to one very
overlooked word here in Hebrews 10:25, and that is the
word---"ourselves" . You see,
it is not every Tom, Dick, and
Harry, WORLDLING, that we are here commanded
to "assemble" with. No! and a thousand times---No! We are,
in Hebrews 10:25, commanded to "assemble" with "ourselves"---the
"ourselves" meaning ---REAL CHRISTIANS SHOULD ONLY
ASSEMBLE, IN THE NAME OF THE LORD, WITH OTHER REAL
CHRISTIANS . That is definitely NOT THE CASE
in our present situation in America.
As Pastor John Hagee, of Cornerstone Church in San
Antonio, Texas, says it---"Today,
in America, we have homosexuals in the pulpit, and
fornicators in the pew, singing about a heaven that they are
never going to see."
My point, of this present message, is to ask
you----Are you ( a real, and true,
born again by the blood of Jesus Christian ) commanded any
where, in God's Holy Bible, to assemble together with a
bunch of filthy, wicked,
sinners, that have taken on the name
of--"CHRISTIAN" ??!
The answer, according to the BIBLE
is a big fat----NO !!! and
NEVER !!!
God's Holy Word is very plain on this matter,
and that is that you as a Holy child of our Holy God should
COME OUT, GET OUT, AND STAY OUT of such
a WICKED MESS.
Many of you reading this message are in "churches"
where you know of all sorts of wickedness
going on amongst the "assembled" "Christians" and yet you
continue filling your spot in the pew Sunday after Sunday
because somebody ( probably your "Pastor" ) told you---"No
church is 'perfect' so don't criticize, just come and 'join
us' ". So, you continue week in, and week out, to join in
the "ASSEMBLY OF THE WICKED" and it is going to be to
the detriment of your very own soul if you do not hurry
and----GET OUT !!!
"Having a form
of godliness, but denying the power thereof:
from such turn away.-----2nd Timothy 3:5
Without taking a lot of time and space to list a lot
of Scripture ( study it out on your own ) let me say here
that "the power
thereof " mentioned here in 2nd
Timothy 3:5 is and always will be----
HOLINESS
. Without
HOLINESS in the life of the
Christian, that Christian will never see God
in this life or the life to come.
( Hebrews 12:14/ Matthew 5:8 )
He ( the Christian
) will have no POWER to live the Christian
life. The POWER is in HOLINESS; and not
a self righteousness, but rather a HOLINESS that is only
obtainable through the POWER of the HOLY GHOST who resides
in the life of the one who is born again by the Blood of
Jesus and then stays filled with the blessed Third Person of
the triune God.
And a "church" that
is not HOLY from the Pastor on down to the pew is a "church"
that you should quickly---GET OUT
OF !!!
Somebody answers----"But, But, But, brother Carl,
I HAVE TO GO TO CHURCH !!!
"
Here me very clearly Christian. The ONLY
THING you HAVE TO DO is---OBEY
GOD !
If you are in a situation that
God's Holy Bible clearly teaches you that you
should COME OUT of then you had better COME
OUT, GET OUT, AND STAY OUT !
As for--"GOING TO CHURCH "--no where in the pages
of Holy Writ are we ever commanded to do such a thing.
We don't---"GO TO CHURCH"---we
are THE CHURCH. As such, we are then commanded to
assemble together with---OURSELVES---meaning
those who are also members of the TRUE BODY OF CHRIST
which are anybody and everybody, worldwide, who are washed
from all SIN in THE BLOOD OF JESUS and then by the GRACE OF
GOD ( God's enabling power ) walk in Holiness of life and in
obedience to ALL of God's Holy Word---the
BIBLE.
What is "Church" ??? Our LORD JESUS, as always,
made it very simple and plain. He said---
"For where TWO
or THREE are gathered together in My Name, there am I
in the midst of them."----Matthew
18:20
Forget about the big, flashy, showy, religious,
entertaining "church" just down the street. Travel over
hill and dale....crawl on your hands and knees if
needed....just to have the wonderful privilege of joining in
worship with just TWO or THREE---if that's all that you can
find---that really and truly LOVE AND OBEY---JESUS--and
HIS COMMANDS ( as well as His
promises ).
Go and ASSEMBLE with a PASTOR who PREACHES AGAINST
SIN---instead of one that WINKS at it !
Go and ASSEMBLE with people who are looking for
GOD---not those looking for a SHOW !
Go and ASSEMBLE with people who are truly born
again, purged from sin and walking in TRUTH ( Bible )
not with wicked folks who are walking with the world and
the world's daddy---the Devil.
STOP !
No longer ASSEMBLE with those who teach, believe, and parrot
the old lie of the devil which is----"It's impossible
to live a HOLY life." Find those, even if it's only TWO or
THREE, that KNOW THE WORD OF GOD AND GOD'S TRUE TEACHING ON
HOLINESS; those who truly---LOVE JESUS AND FEAR HIM !
Yes, if you, dear reader, are wallowing in some sort
of RELIGIOUS HOG PEN every Sunday, then the WORD OF
THE LORD JESUS to you is---
"COME OUT, GET
OUT, AND STAY OUT "
