Faith Trumpet
Jesus Christ is Lord
“Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made Himself of no reputation, and took upon Him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” Phil 2:5-11

Once you receive Jesus as your Lord, there is no turning back.
Count the Cost of Being a
Disciple of Jesus Christ
“If any man come to Me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple. And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be My disciple.For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it? Lest haply (otherwise), after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him, saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand? Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace.So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be My disciple.” Luke 14:26-33“Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves…”
2Cor 13:5
Will You Love the Lord Your God with All Your Heart, All Your Soul, and All Your Mind?
Will You Love Your Neighbor as Yourself?
“Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.” Matt 22:37-40
Will You Keep Your Lord’s Commandments?
“If ye love Me, keep My commandments... He that hath he My commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth Me: and he that loveth Me shall be loved of My Father, and I will love him, and will manifest Myself to him... Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love Me, he will keep My words: and My Father will love him, and We will come unto him, and make Our abode with him. He that loveth Me not keepeth not My sayings: and the word which ye hear is not Mine, but the Father's which sent Me.”
John 14:15,21-24“And hereby we do know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. He that saith, I know Him, and keepeth not His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoso keepeth His word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in Him.” 1John 2:4-5
Will You Love Not the World?
“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.”
1John 2:15-17“Be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is … good, acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”
Rom 12:2“Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.” Col 3:2
Will You Go and Sin No More?
“He that committeth sin is of the Devil; for the Devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the Devil. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for His seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.” 1John 3:8-9“Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.” James 4:17“Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is a slave to sin.” John 8:34“…He said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.”
John 8:10-11“… Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?” Romans 6:1-2“… when lust hath conceived (imagined), it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.”
James 1:13-15“Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.” 2Cor 7:1“Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:” Heb 12:14“My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate (one who pleads our case) with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:” 1John 2:1“Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against Thee.“ Psalm 119:11
Will You Abide (Continually Live) in Christ?
“I am the true vine, and My Father is the husbandman. Every branch in Me that beareth not fruit He taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, He purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in Me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in Me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without Me ye can do nothing. 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.” John 15:1-6“I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.” 2Tim 4:7
Will You Heap Charity on the Least of These?
Will You Heap Charity on Our Lord Jesus Christ?
“When the Son of man shall come in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then shall He sit upon the throne of His glory: And before Him shall be gathered all nations: and He shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: And He shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. Then shall the King say unto them on His right hand, Come, ye blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: For I was an hungred (hungry), and ye gave Me meat (food): I was thirsty, and ye gave Me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took Me in: Naked, and ye clothed Me: I was sick, and ye visited Me: I was in prison, and ye came unto (visited) Me. Then shall the righteous answer Him, saying, Lord, when saw we Thee an hungred (hungry), and fed Thee? or thirsty, and gave Thee drink? When saw we Thee a stranger, and took Thee in? or naked, and clothed Thee? Or when saw we Thee sick, or in prison, and came unto (visited) Thee?And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto Me. Then shall He say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from Me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the Devil and his angels: For I was an hungred (hungry), and ye gave Me no meat (food): I was thirsty, and ye gave Me no drink: I was a stranger, and ye took Me not in: naked, and ye clothed Me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited Me not. Then shall they also answer Him, saying, Lord, when saw we Thee an hungred (hungry), or athirst (thirsty), or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto Thee? Then shall He answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to Me. And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.” Matt 25:31-46
Will You Have Good Works Written in the Book of Life for the Final Judgement or Will You Be Cast into the Lake of Fire (Hell)?
“For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.”
2Cor 5:10“For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.”
Matt 16:27“And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.” Rev 20:11-15“Also unto Thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: For Thou renderest to every man according to his work.” Psalm 62:12
Will You Have Charity?
“Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.” 1Cor 13:1-7”And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain (two).“ Matt 5:41
Will You Be Crucified with Christ?
Will You Take Up Your Cross Daily?
“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.” Gal 2:20“And he said to them all, If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for My sake, the same shall save it.”
Luke 9:23-24
Will You Be Like a Little Child?
“At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? And Jesus called a little child unto Him, and set him in the midst of them, And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoso shall receive one such little child in My name receiveth Me.But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in Me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.” Matt 18:1-6
Will You Crucify the Works of the Flesh?
“Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness (lustfulness), idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance
(discord), emulations (contests), wrath, strife, seditions (rebellion), heresies (false doctrine), envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings (carousing), and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering (patience), gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance (calmness): against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.” Gal 5:19-21“Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate (womanish men), nor abusers of themselves with mankind (sodomites), nor thieves, nor covetous (desire for worldly things), nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.” 1Cor 6:9-10“Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: and likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.” Rom 1:24-27“But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” Rev 21:8“For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: Neither shall evil (sinners) dwell with thee. The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: Thou hatest all workers of iniquity.” Psalm 5:4-5
Will You Be Separate from Unbelievers?
“Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.” 2Cor 6:14-18“Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.” Psalm 1:1[Note: We can never have true fellowship with those who have not been born again unto our Lord Jesus Christ.]
Will You Love Your Enemies?
“Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for He maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans (sinners) the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans (sinners) so?” Matt 5:43-47
Will You Love One Another?
“A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are My disciples, if ye have love one to another.” John 13:34-35“We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.” 1John 3:14-15
Will You Judge Not?
“Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete (standard you measure), it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote (small particle) that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.” Matt 7:1-5
Will You Live In Christ?
Will You Live For Christ To Live In You?
“Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.” Col 1:26-27“And this is His commandment, That we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as He gave us commandment. And he that keepeth His commandments dwelleth in Him, and He in him. And hereby we know that He abideth in us, by the Spirit which He hath given us.” 1John 3:23-24“And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth Him not, neither knoweth Him: but ye know Him; for He dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. Yet a little while, and the world seeth Me no more; but ye see Me: because I live, ye shall live also. At that day ye shall know that I am in My Father, and ye in Me, and I in you.” John 14:16-20

Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for My sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.” Matt 5:3-12“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.”
Psalm 23
Will You Read and Pray the Word of God?
Will You Hide the Word of God in Your Heart?
“The words of the Lord are pure words: As silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O Lord, Thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.” Psalm 12:6-7“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.” 2Tim 3:16-17“…no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.” 2Pet 1:20-21“Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My words shall not pass away.”
Matt 24:35“Every word of God is pure: He is a shield unto them that put their trust in Him.” Proverbs 30:5“For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” Heb 4:12“So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Rom 10:17“Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against Thee. Blessed art Thou, O Lord: teach me Thy statutes.”
Psalm 119:11-12

Will You Rise Early To Pray?

The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.”

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.”
Matt 6:9-13“And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, He went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.” Luke 1:35”Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber (room) toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime (previously).”
Daniel 6:10 (read from verse 7)
Will You Give Your Riches to the Poor?
“And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold. And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house…” Luke 19:8-9“But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.” 1Jn 3:17-18“Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.”

Will You Beareth Fruit (Make Disciples)?
Will You Be a Fisher of Men?
“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” Matt 28:19-20“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.”
Mark 16:15-16“And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!”
Rom 10:15“And He spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow; And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up: Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth: And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away. And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them: But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.”
Matt 13:3-9“Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower. When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side. But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon (immediately) with joy receiveth it; Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended. He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.”
Matt 13:18-23
(Also Mark 4:3-20 and Luke 8:5-25)“And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that My house may be filled.” Luke 14:23“And He saith unto them, Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.” Matt 4:19“Then saith He unto His disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that He will send forth labourers into His harvest.” Matt 9:37-38“For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!” 1Cor 9:16
Will You Speak Boldly and Make Known the Gospel?
“and for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.”
Eph 6:19-20
Will You Show Your Faith By Your Works?
“What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. Yea, a man may say, thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils (evil spirits) also believe, and tremble. But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way? For as the body without the Spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.” James 2:14-26
Will You Work Heartily for Your Lord?
“I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of My mouth. Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked.”
Rev 3:15-17“And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men.” Col 3:23“Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour (taste), wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.” Matt 5:13“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.”
1Cor 15:58
Will You Suffer For Your Lord?
“For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on Him, but also to suffer for His sake.” Phil 1:29“If we suffer, we shall also reign with Him: if we deny Him, He also will deny us.”
2Tim 2:12“But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when His glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.” 1Pet 4:13“Yea, and all that will live Godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.”
2Tim 3:12“For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” Phil 1:21
Will You Stand Against Wiles of the Devil?
Will You Put on the Whole Armor of God?
Will You Be a Bold Ambassador for Christ?
“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the Devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.”
1Pet 5:8“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the Devil, and he will flee from you.”
James 4:7“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; and for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.”
Eph 6:10-20
At this point, you are thinking, I cannot just ignore this. You know the Holy Ghost of God Almighty wants you to commit to become a disciple of Jesus Christ. God has called you unto a radical change of heart, an obedient living faith, the full measure of a faith that saves.On your knees, bow in Godly sorrow and real repentance. With childlike trust, pray for salvation in Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Pray that you will always be obedient to His commands, to always abide in our Lord, to keep your faith, and finish the course your Lord will set before you for the glory of God our Father.Never to look back.
Discipleship Quotes We Love
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
“Cheap grace is grace without discipleship, grace without the cross, grace without Jesus Christ, living and incarnate.”“Costly grace is the gospel which must be sought again and again, the gift which must be asked for, the door at which a man must knock. Such grace is costly because it calls us to follow, and it is grace because it calls us to follow Jesus Christ. It is costly because it costs a man his life, and it is grace because it gives a man the only true life.”“When Christ calls a man, He bids him come and die.”“One act of obedience is worth a hundred sermons.”“Salvation is free but discipleship will cost you your life.”“The church is the Church only when it exists for others… and it must tell men of every calling what it means to live in Christ.”
George Whitefield
“True repentance will entirely change you; the bias of your souls will be changed, then you will delight in God, in Christ, in His Law, and in His people.”“If you know Christ and Him crucified, you know enough to make you happy, supposing you know nothing else. And without this, all your other knowledge cannot keep you from being everlastingly miserable.”“Christ is worth all, or He is worth nothing.”“God forbid that I should travel with anybody a quarter of an hour without speaking of Christ to them.”
A. B. Simpson
“We may not preach a crucified Savior without being also crucified men and women. It is not enough to wear an ornamental cross as a pretty decoration. The cross that Paul speaks about was burned into his very flesh, was branded into his being, and only the Holy Spirit can burn the true cross into our innermost life.”
Francis Chan
“The world says love yourself, grab all you can, follow your heart. Jesus says deny yourself, grab your cross and follow me.”“The New Testament could not be clearer: we are not just to believe in His crucifixion; we are to be crucified with Christ.”“Forget what you have been told about praying a prayer and asking Jesus to be your personal Savior. The call to follow Jesus was a call to die.”“Becoming a Christian is a complete and total surrender of your own desires and flesh to the higher purpose of serving God's glory. It means you die to yourself and put on Christ. That is what you're signing up for.”
David Wilkerson
“God hates the lukewarm gospel of half-truths that is now spreading over the globe. This gospel says, ‘Just believe in Jesus and you will be saved. There is nothing more to it.’ It ignores the whole counsel of God, which speaks of repenting from former sins, of taking up your cross, of being conformed to the Image of Christ by the refining work of the Holy Spirit. It is totally silent about the reality of Hell and an after-death judgement.”
Glenn Conjurske
“For six millenniums the devil has been preaching one message: ‘Ye shall not surely die!’ That is to say, you can sin and get away with it. God is loving and forgiving, and will not call you to account for it. Christ died for your sins, and therefore you may live in your sins, and go to heaven at the last. Sin today, confess tomorrow, and live happily ever after! The devil has deceived the world! What droves of professing Christians have embraced his lies!”
Liu Zhenying (Brother Yun, Heavenly Man)
“Our rights are in the hands of Jesus. We must fall on our knees in complete dependence on Him.”“Riches and honor cannot corrupt us, threats and violence cannot affect us, poverty and obscurity cannot divert our path, be strong in God and look only upon the Lord Jesus Christ.”
Johan Oscar Smith
“Those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires, but you can't do that at the foot of the cross. Those who pierced Him also stood at the foot of the cross. Standing there does not bring any pain to the flesh; but when you are crucified together with Jesus, you will come to know the fellowship of His sufferings.”
A.W. Tozer
“Any objection to the carryings-on of our present gold-calf Christianity is met with the triumphant reply, ‘But we are winning them!’ And winning them to what? To true discipleship? To cross-carrying? To self-denial? To separation from the world? To crucifixion of the flesh? To holy living? To nobility of character? To a despising of the world’s treasures? To hard self-discipline? To love for God? To total committal to Christ? Of course the answer to all these questions is No.”
Shen Xiaoming (China Gospel Fellowship)
“We suffered for years, we were tested and tried, persecution didn’t destroy us, it refined the Church, it caused us to grow. We should not fear suffering but we should be afraid of worldliness.”
John Wesley
“The wearing of costly array is directly opposite to being adorned with good works. Nothing can be more evident than this; for the more you lay out on your own apparel, the less you have left to clothe the naked, to feed the hungry, to lodge the stranger, to relieve the sick and in prison.”[Note: Costly array includes all the treasures and pleasures of this world: expensive cars, restaurants, cruises, resorts, concerts, sports, collectibles, gambling, etc. etc. Worldliness is an evil fruit of Satan, the prince of this world.]
William Booth
“The chief danger that confronts the coming century will be religion without the Holy Ghost, Christianity without Christ, forgiveness without repentance, salvation without regeneration, politics without God, and Heaven without Hell.”“Most Christians would like to send their recruits to Bible College for five years. I would like to send them to Hell for five minutes. That would do more than anything else to prepare them for a lifetime of compassionate ministry.”
William Gurnall (1616 - 1679)
“There is a war between the saint and Satan, and that so bloody a one, that the cruellest which ever was fought by men will be found but sport and child’s play compared to this. The stage where this war is fought is every man’s soul.”
John Scott
“For thousands of people who still ignore Christ’s warning and undertake to follow Him without first pausing to reflect on the cost of doing so. The result is the great scandal of Christendom today, so called nominal (lukewarm) Christianity. In countries to which Christian civilization has spread, large numbers of people have covered themselves with a decent but thin veneer of Christianity. They have allowed themselves to become somewhat involved, enough to be respectable but not enough to be uncomfortable. Their religion is a great soft cushion. It protects them from the hard unpleasantness of life while changing its place and shape to suit their convenience. No wonder the cynics speak of hypocrites in the church and dismiss religion as escapism.”
Paris Reidhead
“Lord Jesus, I'm going to obey You, and love You, and serve You, and do what You want me to do, as long as I live even if I go to Hell at the end of the road, simply because You are worthy to be loved, and obeyed, and served!”
Charles Finney
“Sin is the most expensive thing in the universe. Nothing else can cost so much.”“There can be no higher enjoyment found in this world that is found in pulling souls out of the fire and bringing them to Christ.”“The end for which Christ lives, and for which He has left His Church in the world, is the salvation of sinners.”
K. P. Yohannan
“If we could spend only one minute in the flames and torment of Hell, we would see how unloving the so-called gospel is that prevails in much of missions today. It is a crime against lost humanity to go in the name of Christ just to do social work and neglect calling men to repent - to give up their sin - and follow Christ with all their hearts.”
David Platt
“If we are not making disciples, are we really disciples? Don’t be deceived, disciples make disciples. Disciple making is the fruit of being a Christian.”“Jesus said follow Me and I will make you fishers of men. Every follower a fisher, every disciple a disciple maker. Every disciple of Jesus Christ is called, is commanded to make disciples.”“If our lives do not reflect radical compassion for the poor, there is reason to wonder if Christ is really in us at all.”
Thomas a Kempis (1380 - 1471)
“Jesus has many who love His Kingdom in heaven, but few who bear His cross. He has many who desire comfort, but few who desire suffering. He finds many to share His feast, but few His fasting. All desire to rejoice with Him, but few are willing to suffer for His sake.”
Leonard Ravenhill
“There are two kinds of people in the world - only two kinds. Not black or white, rich or poor, but those either dead in sin or dead to sin.”“One of the serious breakdowns in modern evangelism is: it has offered too much for too little. What we do mostly is offer forgiveness. We need cleansing! There is no true conversion until a man takes up his cross.”“The true man of God is heartsick, grieved at the worldliness of the church, grieved at the toleration of sin in the church, grieved at the prayerlessness in the church.”“The gospel is not success, but sacrifice! It's not a glamorous gospel, but a bloody gospel, a gory gospel, and a sacrificial gospel. Five minutes inside eternity and we will wish we had sacrificed more, wept more, bled more, grieved more, loved more, prayed more, and given more.”“If you are going to be a true Christian, it will be a lonely life. It's a narrow way and it becomes narrower and narrower and narrower.”

Hard Truths for the Worldly American Church
God’s Word kills 99.7% of all TV watching:
“I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes.” Psalm 101:3aThere are no poor in the USA. North Americans don’t know poor. The young Mother in Myanmar who was considering selling one of her children into sex slavery so her others would not starve, knows poor!
Matt 19:16-24, Luke 10:25-37It is inconceivable that you would hold onto your riches when our Lord said whosoever blesses one of the ‘least of these’, does it unto Me. Mark 10:21-25Giving to your church to pay for grand buildings, entertaining programs, and hireling pastors is not giving to the poor.
Matt 25:31-46We suffer only when we are obedient to our Lord! Obedient in compelling those lost in sin to repent and be born again to true holiness. Obedient in giving to the poor until we have no riches, until we give all we have.
Luke 14:23, Eph 4:24, Luke 14:33
Mark 12:41-44
A Good Work We Love
Asia Harvest“Asia Harvest is a non-denominational Christian ministry working in various countries throughout Asia to see effective churches planted among unreached people groups. We work alongside Asian church leaders, helping and equipping them to focus on reaching the lost. Among the countries we focus on include China, India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Indonesia, Laos, Myanmar (Burma), and Cambodia. Within these countries live more than 3,000 unreached tribes and ethnic groups, so there is plenty of work to do!”Beautiful FeetLostTears of the SaintsThe Heavenly Man (10-hour audiobook)“Please note that from the start the desire of Asia Harvest has been to send as many resources as possible to the frontline Gospel workers in Asia. As a result, we maintain no physical office, have few assets except our bank balance, and most of our work is done by unpaid volunteers.”[Note: Contrast Asia Harvest’s volunteer work with Franklin Graham III scalping over $800,000. annually from Samaritan's Purse donors. See their IRS Form 990, Part VII - Compensation of Officers, Directors, Trustees… Matt 19:24]
Another Good Work We Love
Back to Jerusalem“Back to Jerusalem is the goal of the Chinese church to evangelize the unreached peoples from eastern provinces of China, westwards towards Jerusalem. The vision was birthed among the Chinese in the 1920s, and since that time, the churches of China have strove and even suffered persecution to fulfill what they believe is their integral role in fulfilling the Great Commission. Our organization partners with the church of China to not only evangelize the religiously oppressed areas of Asia, but to also train and send Chinese missionaries into the unreached regions of the globe, including Muslim, Buddhist, and Hindu nations.”China’s Back to Jerusalem Movement“More than 90% of the unreached people groups in the world today are located within the “10/40 window” more than 5,100 tribes and ethno-linguistic groups with little or no gospel witness. Of the world’s 50 least-Christian and least-evangelized countries, all 50 are located within this region!”
The Only Bible We Trust
The King James Bible is regal, dignified, and majestic, standing above all counterfeits in its power and certainty. It is the inspired, pure and preserved word of God in English, our final authority in all matters of faith and practice. Spanish speakers use the Reina Valera Gómez (RVG) Bible.
Scriptura sola et sola scriptura!History of the King James BibleThe Preserved Bible: The King JamesStanding Against the New World OrderA More Sure Word“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Ephesians 6:12We are at war with Satan who seeks to undermine the authority of the word of God with counterfeit bibles. Hold on tight to your King James Bible, your only true authority in a sea of false teachings by the new world order church.
We Are Different
We are disciples of our Lord Jesus Christ. Through Godly repentance and child-like faith in the Son of God, our lives have been radically changed, we have been born-again unto righteousness and true holiness. We are crucified with Christ who lives in us. We are born of God dead to sin.We practice our faith in love, by obeying our Lord’s commandments, including the Great Commission to make disciples. We know every disciple must share the Gospel with those lost in sin, and teach the lost how to become faithful disciples. We take up our cross to follow our Lord.We meet early on Sunday mornings in houses and public spaces. We don’t have church buildings nor hireling pastors. Money is never asked for, nor accepted! We are not 501c3 government churches. Privately, we sacrifice to give to charities that bless the lost and hurting poor.We pray the Bible, reverently sing the old hymns, teach Christ’s doctrine, and take communion together. We are accountable to each other using the King James Bible as our final authority.We reach our hands in fellowship to every blood-washed one. Contact us to worship with a congregation near you.
