The Scales are Teetering Side to Side; When They Should Balance
When we are sick we need a doctor, correct? When we do not follow the rules or the laws, we stand to receive penalties for our infractions, no?
For example, if we do not follow the rules of the road, we receive a moving violation - or a ticket as it is more commonly known; would it be safe to say that is correct as well?
In the United States alone, not to mention the world, prisons not only exist but are full, because of infractions that resulted in incarceration as a penalty for not following the rules.
1 Timothy 1:8-11
8 We know that the law is good if one uses it properly. 9 We also know that the law is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, 10 for the sexually immoral, for those practicing homosexuality, for slave traders and liars and perjurers—and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine 11 that conforms to the gospel concerning the glory of the blessed God, which he entrusted to me.
A hefty part of my calling, my assignment- the very essence of my purpose, ordained by The Lord, is to teach the penalties of sin, unrepented sin; so that the world may know and understand The Truth of God’s Holy Word as well as the penalties of sin, we are all without excuse. And I do so, that is operate in my calling without fear of reprisal from mankind.
You see Beloved, I have to - and do - love souls (God’s creation) enough to push past the soul [mind, will, intellect, and emotions] and target the spirit; the part of us that is created in the image and likeness of God.
Genesis 1:26
26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image,in our likeness,
It is our spirit that is created like our Heavenly Father. And it is housed in an Earth suit [a body] while we are here on Earth.
BUT, and this is a very big but: what we do here on Earth determines if we will return to be with The Lord after we die. This why it is so important to walk in the spirit, so that we do not give into the desires of our flesh which is our soul. The part of us the adversary [the devil, Satan] has access to influence.
Galatians 5:16-26
16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, 21 envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. 24 And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.
And you should know very well by now, if you have participated in any of the teachings of this ministry, that it is scriptural: MANY do not leave this earth and have eternal life that is to “go home and be with The Lord”.
Matthew 7:13-15
13 Enter through the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and spacious and broad is the way that leads away to destruction, and many are those who are entering through it.
14 But the gate is narrow (contracted by pressure) and the way is straitened and compressed that leads away to life, and few are those who find it.
And no matter how palatable it is made to sound when someone passes away: “God needed another flower in His Garden”, “So and So gained their wings”, or “God called them home”; the truth is, the path to salvation to make your calling and your election sure is a very narrow path with great pressure, in the form of enticements, designed to make you sin against your flesh [sexual sin], sin against others [words and deeds], and sin against God [living an unholy and unrighteous life] - because you have NO relationship with your Heavenly Father.
As much as you would like to think and believe that accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior is enough to ensure your salvation and that you “ make it in”, it isn’t because The Word, The Bible tells us such.
2 Peter 3:11
His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires. For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But whoever does not have them is nearsighted and blind, forgetting that they have been cleansed from their past sins. Therefore, my brothers and sisters, make every effort to confirm your calling and election. For if you do these things, you will never stumble, and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
A lot of time is wasted on distractions that have been strategically orchestrated by your adversary, the devil, because he roams about the earth like a lion seeking it’s prey, ( 1 Peter 5:8); and you fall victim every time because you lack knowledge of our God and of Jesus Christ our Lord.
Yes, you have heard of Them (Father, Son, Holy Spirit), but you don’t know them. You believe what you have been told/taught, never verifying for yourself through reading and understanding the scriptures, therefore you lack understanding because you lack knowledge. Some of you have even self-appointed yourself to a calling that is not yours, that is to say you have not been called to that gifting/title and therefore you have to “steal” someone‘s [who is called to that gifting] messages, because you have not studied and learned of Him for yourself and you don’t know what He called and purposed for you to do.
There are many imitators of God’s elect and the scriptures warn us throughout to beware of false teachers.
So, why do I teach as much about Sheol [Hell] as I do about the Godhead (The Trinity- Father, Son, Holy Spirit)? Because it is vital that in your understanding, you have balance in your knowledge of all things that pertain to life and godliness and that you understand this life you live is determining where you spend eternity.
The assumption is: “I’m not that bad, that I will end up in Hell”, and yet, according to scripture, you are well on your way because the penalty of sin is death, and too many penalties that are clearly defined in the scriptures as penalties, or sin if you will, are being committed and The Judge will sentence you to eternal death [Hell].
And the many that are there (in Hell), if they could come back, would tell you Hell is real and to please get your life in order before it is too late.
Revelation 21:8 sums it up for us:
8 But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”
Or we can look in Proverbs, and see if we fall short:
Proverbs 6:16-19
These six things the Lord hates,
Yes, seven are an abomination to Him:
17 A proud look,
A lying tongue,
Hands that shed innocent blood,
18 A heart that devises wicked plans,
Feet that are swift in running to evil,
19 A false witness who speaks lies,
And one who sows discord among brethren.
And even such a lifestyle here on earth can yield a very unpleasant, unfruitful, and short life span that lacks longevity.
1 Corinthians 12:30-32
30 That [careless and unworthy participation] is the reason why many among you are weak and sick, and a number sleep [in death]. 31 But if we evaluated and judged ourselves honestly [recognizing our shortcomings and correcting our behavior], we would not be judged. 32 But when we [fall short and] are judged by the Lord, we are disciplined [by undergoing His correction] so that we will not be condemned [to eternal punishment] along with the world.
Beloved, the time that you spend gendering strife, sowing discord, complaining about things that bother or offend you [it’s not about you boo], and seeking to attain material things at any cost; it’s not worth it, it’s not worth you spending eternity [forever] in eternal damnation.
I determined some time ago, my salvation was the most valuable thing I possess, and I am unwilling to forego it or forfeit it to satisfy my soul. I have chosen to come out from among them.
2 Corinthians 6:17-18
17 Therefore
“Come out from among them
And be separate, says the Lord.
Do not touch what is unclean,
And I will receive you.”
18 “I will be a Father to you,
And you shall be My sons and daughters,
Says the Lord Almighty.”
You will find me taking care of my family [Proverbs 14:1 - The wise woman builds her house [on a foundation of godly precepts, and her household thrives], But the foolish one [who lacks spiritual insight] tears it down with her own hands [by ignoring godly principles].], I am walking and operating in my calling; and that means I don’t have time for gossip and perverseness (Proverbs 14:2), and I surely am not lifting my head so high as to walk in pride and look down upon God’s creation as if my worth exceeds anyone else’s, but I especially don’t based on material things.
You do realize that none of those material things can pass over into the spirit realm when you leave this earth? In other words, all that “stuff” that you thought you had to have, because you believed it defined you and gave you some sort of status, stays right here when you leave this earth and die. And for many, it ends up being the reason you didn’t gain eternal life.
Am I without sin? Of course not! For all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God (Romans 3:23), but I do, purposely, try not to sin by being aware and very conscious of my actions and with all that lies within me, I strive to keep the peace (Romans 12:18), it is for this reason that I choose not to address those that gossip against me or lie on me to generate strife. I refuse to entertain it by defending myself or telling my side, I am doing a work for The Lord, and outside of that I am taking care of my family and involved in things that pertain to them, so there is no time for anything else which is why I don’t talk on the phone for social intentions , (I just don’t have the.time). I t is better to reach me via email or text; it is easier and faster for me to respond and we have a record of what we talked about - that too diminishes gossip, lies, and misunderstandings.
Honestly, if you have time to create a situation of lies, gossip, strife, and misunderstanding, perhaps you should take all of that idle time that you have and work on your salvation.
Read and study The Word of God, learn of Him, get in relationship with Him, and stop allowing the adversary to cause you to forfeit your salvation.
In the meantime, I will continue to teach the FULL gospel, which includes eternal life (Heaven) if we live according to 2 Peter 1; and eternal death (Hell)if we choose to live according to Revelation 21;8 and Proverbs 6:16; I value your salvation just as much as I value mine because it is His will that none perish. (2 Peter 3:9).And that keeps me motivated to walk in my calling. I truly love souls
Beloved, we can’t change our past, but we can redirect our future
How, you ask? By walking in the spirit, that is the part of us created like Them (The Godhead), instead of walking in the flesh, our soul [our mind, our will, our intellect, and our emotions] that the adversary has access to. It bares repeating:
Galatians 5:16-26
16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, 21 envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. 24 And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.
Remember this Beloved We all have a choice, because our Creator, created us with a free will. Make the resolve to choose the narrow path which is life.
May this message minister to you in such a way that you desire relationship with your Heavenly Father as it was purposed from the very beginning.
To The Only Wise God be glory, honor, and praise.
Stay Blessed,
Apostle & Prophetess Wendy Connor
