Will the Real Christians Stand Up? Exposing the Hearts
I am extremely joyful that the Lord opened this wide door of opportunity to share truths that many Christians do not have a clue as to who is who I wrote that this is a new season for me to do a new thing and Wow, it is happening, but not without opposition.
Those challenges came yesterday, yet I am glad that the Lord had a teacher in my life, I did my personal study and the Holy Spirit helps me. So, when someone challenges me, I pray that they are sure that I am wrong if they are trying to challenge me. I've been studying for forty three years and I'm not tired.
I had a friend to text me several days ago, and she even replied to my message about peace and violence However she knew that whatever Jesus said was true; another sister did the same thing, praise the Lord. I am sharing what one sister wrote in a text message that was so timely and confirming to a book that I could write that it would seriously benefit new and untaught believers like herself: Churches love to talk about how many people in the church got saved, but most don’t teach, they congratulate you and go on their way leaving these babes to fend for themselves.
A lot of them are coming from bad situations and without direction, structure, and accountability they very often fall away. Then there are the older people like me that were never taught and are still on milk themselves. Starting with foundational principles, not just giving the info. But challenging them to search out other scripture confirming these principles and proving doctrine. How to rightly divide the Word.
I am already doing what the sister wrote indirectly, but she’s saying it needs to be in a book for teaching others. As the sister said, the reason people are ignorant to the Word of God, this is due to lack of studying, being taught the truth on the essentials. The first command that Jesus gave His disciples (including us).

Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen (Matthew 28:19-20). The way the sentence is structured it looks as though Jesus is saying “Go” first.
However, that can’t be true because Jesus taught His disciples before He sent them out.
After these things, the Lord appointed seventy others also and sent them two by two before His face into every city and place where He Himself was about to go. out (Luke 10:1).
Otherwise, how would they know how to witness?
Every church should teach foundational principles: 1) have an understanding of the believer’s walk with Christ (being assured of salvation); that the entire Christian experience is from God’s perspective, which is clear (perfect), not from the believer’s view. Since the believer has become spiritual he or she is expected to think like their spiritual Father thinks (Isaiah 55:”8-9), instead of leaning to their own understanding (Proverbs 3:5-7).
2) They should be taught how to witness the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the unsaved, which includes the Buddhists. How are they going to share what they don’t know? Learn what others believe, so witnessing can be effective.
Many years ago, several books were given to me about cults and false religions; I searched diligently aas the Spirit led me to different places to get more information. The Lord didn’t just allow me to obtain this information without His purpose. It’s my time; an effectual and wide door has opened for me to share.
I may lose some readers, but I will obey the Lord, knowing that these messages are ordained by Him to be written in such a time as this (He has given me the grace, ability). My Word that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it (Isaiah 55:11).
JESUS lost many followers. From that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more. Then Jesus said to the twelve, “Do you also want to go away?” (John 6:66-67).
