Watched episode 3 of The Rookie!! It was great, I really enjoyed it :D
Wesley continues to go through it 😭😭 I'm glad we're not pretending Angela doesn't notice or is stupid (though let me tell you that unplugging of the earbuds STRESSED ME OUT!! xD) but thank goodness she didn't totally figure it out xd. On the other hand, someone stop Wesley from suffering so much lol
Also that dinner between Wopez and Jayla 💀 I would assume it's more to highlight Nyla and James's conflict with all that this season than anything else, but poor Angela and Nyla just trying to have dinner xD like the chicken comment was great lol
Girl Celina was right the whole time 😭 Nolan WAS spinning out and bro needed help xd. See because if you'd just BROUGHT SOMEONE, NOLAN!! You could've gotten both things done, but whatever xD. Celina really should've done that spell lol. Anything helps xD. Good on her for looking out for him, and for everyone finding him so quick :). Nice to see Bailey again 🥰🥰🥳 :D! And her not even being able to get in was great xD. I'm glad Nolan realized it was overkill but it was kinda quick lol. Still, glad he's gonna try and get rid of it xD. Also maybe area 51 wants an upgrade was wild 💀 fair though xD
Also Tim making it in and wanting more tickets to tell how was amazing xD icon lol. Speaking of Tim, the bet was found out o.o and continued anyway xD. I do think he was trying to take the blame but also, yeah Lucy it was his suggestion lol. He didn't say you weren't participating. But she does have a point, but their faults still. And AAHHHH Rachel's back :OO :D!! Hey girl!! It sucks that she's been going through it :((, but it's nice that her and Lucy can reconnect <3. And I'm glad she and Tim are on good terms!! All good :).
Bro these Rookies 💀 they were really funny together though, I've gotta admit xD. With both wanting to look good for Rachel and in the house. And they did catch the guy! Great job, guys :D. I love how shocked everybody was lol xD. Buuuut, still, huge mistakes were made 😬 at least they're not fired yet xdd the PR stuff is a good excuse for a lot of stuff this season ngl :) fun layer!
Smitty was low-key an icon today by the way lol. And everybody did great at their jobs! Gray was going through it in that regard but you know, with these fools xD
I'm super interested in the next episode!! It looks super fun and intense :O. Looks like we'll see some great Nyla Angela action, Bailey's back of course :)!! (and it looks like she's at Lucy's lol), and we'll see everybody dealing with a serial killer :o. Also it wasn't shown in the promo but the thumbnail for the promo was a wopez kiss so, holding out hope for them xD. It could be the end/resolution of this whats-his-face Graham or whatever storyline, which would be sad because the end but good because thank goodness 😭 set his man (Wesley) free xD
And there'd still probably be repercussions from that lol, like dealing with the detective, and Wesley dealing with the emotions
Anyway!! It was a great episode, I loved it, and I'm excited for the next one :D!

wip day ??
okay this is MAD late but i haven’t really been working on anything recently. lol. but a lotta Beloved Mutuals have tagged me!! thank u folks <3 @consumedkings @oorah22 @ohfaiths @adelaidedrubman @lilwritingraven !! <33 anyways here’s this little thing with herald elliot and john and wes?? i’d like to finish this so like hold me accountable but this is a ROUGH DRAFT so also be gentle
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Okay, close your eyes.”
“I’m not closing my eyes.”
“Come on," John drawls, "be a good sport now, dearest.” He squeezes her hip, all while he has a shit-eating grin on his face, and every inch of him screams pleased beyond belief which almost, almost makes Elliot smile back at him. She feels a caveat coming, though, so she just gives him a very, very dry look.
“John.”
“Fine, spoil all the fun," John huffs and squeezes her waist affectionately once more. She smacks at his arm. "The present will still be a nice surprise," he says, and takes her over the threshold to the dining room. He gestures wide, both hands extended toward her present, fingers spread wide.
Ell stops short, a foot past the doorway. “... You’re not serious." She looks from the dining table to John, face blank, gone flat with disbelief at her husband. "You’re fucking shitting me.”
Wesley Beltran is chained to one of their fucking dining room chairs. Literally, actually chained. Bound all over, across his shoulders, around his midsection, all the way around his forearms, his calves. Like John is unwilling to allow any possibility of a repeat of Wes's escape from his Confession. He also has a a bruise, blooming red and purple at his temple, visible where his chin lolls to his chest.
“No," John says, grin barely contained, so near bursting onto his lips that Elliot can hear it in his damn voice. "Not kidding. I got him. Presenting, Deputy Wesley Beltran, over for dinner.”
Elliot stares at Wes, then cuts her eyes to John. “He’s fucking unconscious, you moron.”
“Yeah, and?" John huffs, arms crossed over his chest. Elliot levels a capital-L Look at him. "The point is that he’s here, and you got what you wanted. What’s the problem?” he snipes. "You wanted Wes over for dinner, you've got him."
"Are you fucking deranged?" Elliot snaps. "I said I wanted Wes to accept our invitation to dinner, not for a second attempt at his Confession in our dining room!"

John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. Isaiah 30:21 And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left. Jeremiah 33:3 Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known. John 6:63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is no help at all. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life. Romans 10:17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ. Psalm 32:8-9 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you. Be not like a horse or a mule, without understanding, which must be curbed with bit and bridle, or it will not stay near you. John 14:16-17 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you. James 1:19-27 Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God. Therefore put away all filthiness and rampant wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror. ... 2 Timothy 3:16-17 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work. John 14:26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you. 
Faith never knows where it is being led, but it loves and knows the One who is leading.  Oswald Chambers 
John Wesley's New Years Day Covenant Prayer I am no longer my own, but thine. Put me to what thou wilt, rank me with whom thou wilt. Put me to doing, put me to suffering. Let me be employed by thee or laid aside for thee, exalted for thee or brought low for thee. Let me be full, let me be empty. Let me have all things, let me have nothing. I freely and heartily yield all things to thy pleasure and disposal. And now, O glorious and blessed God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, thou art mine, and I am thine. So be it. And the covenant which I have made on earth, let it be ratified in heaven. Amen

THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death. Revelation 12:11
On the cross Jesus conquered forever the worst that sin and evil could do to Him. He met the full assault of evil and overcame it. Those who have entrusted their lives to Him share in that victory over evil.
In the context of this verse, Satan is noted to be the “accuser” of the brethren. He knows we are sinners and is constantly accusing us of it. But that is not the whole story. It is through the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross (the blood of the lamb) that sin is forgiven. When we receive by faith what Christ has done, our sins are wiped out. We are cleansed by faith in Christ’s blood. His saving grace and a willingness to receive us as sinners saved by grace is the key to this principle, not our feelings of worthiness.
We overcome him—our enemy—by confessing we are sinners and then confessing the cleansing of that sin through the sacrificial blood of the Lamb. And when we are forgiven there is then nothing of which we can possibly be accused by Satan. There is no possible accusation he can make against one who is completely forgiven! Thus we overcome him first, by the blood of the Lamb.
Romans 8:33-34 in the J. B. Phillips version reads, “Who is in a position to condemn? Only Christ and Christ died for us, Christ rose for us, Christ reigns in power for us, Christ prays for us!” So Satan, you are defeated and impotent! Get out of here!
Charles Wesley wrote about this in one of his beloved hymns:
No condemnation now I dread;
Jesus, and all in Him is mine!
Alive in Him, my living Head,
And clothed in righteousness divine,
Bold I approach the eternal throne,
And claim the crown, through Christ my own.
RESPONSE: Today I will overcome my enemy, Satan, by faith in the shed blood of Jesus, the Lamb of God.
PRAYER: Thank You Lord for providing all I need to be an overcomer.

My Last Argument
This is my final argument against backsliding. In this chapter you will see in very real terms the folly of backsliding. You will hear the testimonies of real Christians who made it to the very end. You will also hear the last statements of the backslidden and lost souls, and what they said as they approached the gates of Hell. You will see how really terrible backsliding is.
In our walk with God there is a certain line that we must not cross. There is a point of no return. I have heard believers say that they will backslide, but will come back to the Lord after some time. They forget that there may be a point of no return.
The Point of No Return
We will all stand before the presence of God to account for our lives. When that time comes and you are ushered into the presence of God, what will you say?
Will you be ready? Will you have done what God wanted you to do?
A Christian brother was committing fornication when he heard a loud blast. He thought it was the sound of the trumpet heralding the return of Christ. So he jumped out of the bed, but was not caught up to heaven. He was so worried, because he thought that he had been left behind at the rapture. This anxious Christian was overreacting to the honk of a big bus. A backslider lives in fear and uncertainty.
God Wants to Reason with You
Come now, and let us REASON together…
Isaiah 1:18
God is a rational Being, and He wants to reason with you.
Many people think that when you deal with spiritual things you must put aside all reason and stop thinking rationally. But the Bible records that God wants us to reason with Him. If God tells you to reason, then He must be a God who thinks logically and sequentially!
I am going to reason with you and argue with you about backsliding. You could call it “Arguments for and against backsliding”.
I will show you certain people who were happy and full of joy as they entered into the rest of God. These were Christians who served the Lord and did not fall away.
On the other hand, I will show you what some dying backsliders said as they left this earth. These testimonies alone should make you decide never, never, never to backslide.
The Saints
First, I want you to notice what Bible saints had to say when they were moving from this world to the next.
Apostle Paul
Apostle Paul was in prison when he knew that his time of death was near. He said, "For to me…to die is gain." In other words he was happy to be dying. How many people are happy to die? If you are confident of your relationship with God you will not fear death.
Jacob
When the Patriarch Jacob was dying in Genesis 49:33, the Bible declares that after commanding his sons, "…He gathered up his feet into the bed, and yielded up the ghost..."
What a way to go! He knew that he was going. He had time to instruct his children with confidence. After commanding his sons, he gathered his feet onto the bed and died. You see, the death of the righteous is very different from the death of the wicked. Balaam the prophet said;
...Let me die the death of the righteous...
Numbers 23:10
Now let's study how some ordinary people, after living a life without backsliding went on happily to be with the Lord.
Ignatius
Ignatius lived in 100 AD. He was the Bishop of Antioch, and a personal disciple of John the Apostle. He was sentenced to death, and as he was dying, his last words were, "I thank thee, oh God, that thou hast honoured me with thy Word, praise God!"
These were the last words of a man who was sentenced to death by burning at the stake. Some other people would have been screaming, defaecating and salivating. But this man died praising God!
Father Polycarp
Father Polycarp, another disciple of John lived during the reign of Emperor Nero. He was also sentenced to death. He was taken to court, and there, he was given an option to either denounce Jesus or be burnt to death. Polycarp suffered much for Christ's sake. The Roman Proconsul commanded him to swear allegiance to Ceasar, saying, "Swear, and I will set thee at liberty; reproach Christ." How courageous and magnificent was Polycarp's reply!
He said, "Eighty and six years have I now served Christ, and He has never done me the least wrong. How, then, can I blaspheme my King and my Saviour?"
Further efforts to make him deny his Lord failed and Polycarp was condemned to be burned at the stake. When the day came for him to be burned alive, those responsible for the burning wanted to nail him to the stake, but he protested: "Let me alone as I am: for He who has given me strength to endure the fire, will also enable me, without your securing me by nails, to stand without moving in the pile."
Finally he exclaimed, "Oh! Lord, Father of the Beloved Son Jesus Christ. I thank thee that thou has allotted me a place among the Martyrs."
Augustus Montague Toplady
Augustus Montague Toplady (1710-1778), will ever be famous as the author of one of the most evangelical hymns of the Eighteenth Century, "Rock of Ages," which was first published in 1776. During his final illness, Toplady was greatly supported by the consolations of the Gospel.
Near his last, awaking from a sleep, he said:
"Oh, what delights! Who can fathom the joy of the third Heaven? The sky is clear, there is no cloud. Come, Lord Jesus, come quickly!"
He died saying, "No mortal man can live after the glories which God has manifested to my soul."
And with those words he went to be with the Lord.
William Shakespeare
William Shakespeare (1564-1616), the world's outstanding figure in literature, of whose life, times and works a whole library of books has been written, lived near his Bible as the numerous quotations from it in his plays and dramas prove.
A Famous Man Knew the Lord
His end came when he was only 52 years old. His last will that was written in the year he died revealed his faith in God.
"I commend my soul into the hands of God my Creator, hoping and assuredly believing, through the only merits of Jesus Christ my Saviour, to be made partaker of life everlasting, and my body to the earth, whereof it is made."
Matthew Henry
Matthew Henry (1662-1714), was the eminent non-conformist theologian who gave the Church the devotional commentary which held a foremost place in its field. He died a week after his settlement in London as pastor of a church in Hackney, but his end was full of confidence in the Saviour's grace.
His last words were: "A life spent in the service of God, and in communion with Him, is the most comfortable life that anyone can lead in this present world."
John Wesley
John Wesley, the founder of the great Methodist Church said, "The best of all is, God is with us." I really love these last words of this great founder.
John Wesley, of whom it has been said that eternity alone will reveal what the world owes to his mighty ministry, was active to the very end. Until the end, he was full of praise, counsel and exhortations.
The Great Founder Dies in Peace
In his last moments with what remaining strength he had, he cried out twice over, in holy triumph:
"The best of all is, God is with us."
The very last word Wesley was heard to articulate was: "Farewell!"
Then, without a lingering groan, the evangelist of the highways and by-ways, beloved pastor of thousands, and father of the great Methodist Church, entered into the joy of his Lord.
Notice again, death to the confident Christian - It was a peaceful transition from one world to another!
Adoniram Judson
Adoniram Judson was a missionary to Africa. In fact, the first American missionary to Africa. He went to Burma, wrote and translated the Bible into the Burmese language.
The Departure of Africa's First American Missionary
He also wrote a dictionary for them. When he was dying he said, "No one ever left this world with brighter hopes or warmer feelings."
Don't be afraid, death will not surprise me. In spite of what I say, I feel so strong in Him."
This is a man who had strength when most people are weak. Let's all pray for such staying power, that we may all prevail until the very end.
Charles Bridgman
Charles Bridgman died at the age of twelve. As a child he loved to read his Bible and desired spiritual knowledge. Young Charles would often rebuke his brothers if they forgot to thank God at meal times. When he became ill, he was asked whether he would rather live or die, he answered "I desire to die, that I may go to my Saviour."
The Strength of a Little Boy
As his time drew near, his last words were: "...Into thy hands I commend my soul! Now close mine eyes. Forgive me, father, mother, brother, sister and all the world! Now I am well, my pain is almost gone, my joy is at hand. Lord have mercy upon me. O Lord, receive my soul unto Thee." How many young boys of today would speak the way this young man spoke?
Robert Bruce
Robert Bruce, one of the most distinguished men of his time, entered the ministry and became prominent in Edinburgh. Scrupulously maintaining the established norms of the church, he exposed himself to much persecution for the truth's sake.
At the time of his death, he called for the family Bible and said to his daughter:
"Cast up to me the eighth chapter of Romans, and set my finger on these words, 'I am persuaded that NEITHER DEATH NOR LIFE ... SHALL BE ABLE TO SEPARATE ME from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus my Lord.'"
Then Bruce said, "Is my finger on them?"
"Yes," said his daughter. Then he replied:
"Now God be with you, my children. I have just breakfasted with you, and shall sup with my Lord Jesus this night."
How exciting it must be when you know you are ready! There can be no reason to backslide when you hear these exciting testimonies.
And Many Others
Another dying Christian said, "How bright the room, how full of angels!"
Some other Christian said confidently, "The battle is fought. The battle is fought, and the victory is won." With those words, he went to be with the Lord.
Alexander II, full of divine faith, exclaimed: "I am sweeping through the gates, washed in the blood of the Lamb."
Someone else said, "I wish I had the power of writing to describe how pleasant it is to die."
Another one exclaimed, "Oh! That I could tell what joy I possess. I am full of rapture, the Lord shines with such power upon my soul. He is come, He is come."
One surviving believer said, "I shall soon be with Jesus. PERHAPS I AM TOO ANXIOUS!"
Is It Always Sweet to Die?
Another person said, "IT IS SWEET TO DIE." How will you be able to say, "It is sweet to die" when you have backslidden and you know judgement awaits you?
One Christian brother questioned, "Can this be death? What? It is better than living. TELL THEM I DIED HAPPILY IN JESUS."
Another one said, "They sing. The angels sing. IS THIS DYING? NO, IT IS SWEET LIVING."
One lucky backslider, Oliver, a doctor of philosophy, had lived the life of an infidel. But shortly before his death he repented and turned to the Saviour.
His final word was one of deep regret: "Would that I could undo the mischief I have done! I was more ardent to poison men with infidel principles than any Christian is to spread the doctrines of Christ."
The Sinners
Now, let us consider what some backsliders and sinners said as they were dying. The pride and rebellion of these wicked people did not help matters as they approached the gates of hell and accountability. Some of these people were backslidden Christians. They died as frightened, screaming and hopelessly lost souls. The first person I want us to consider in this category is a man called Tom Paine.
Tom Paine
Tom Paine (1737-1809) was considered to be a literary giant.
He wrote “The Age of Reason” and lived during the revivals of John Wesley and George Whitfield. He lived a life that was against God, and drew people away from God. I believe that this is one of the people who have made Europe so anti-Christ and atheist in their way of thinking. One person who witnessed his death said, "He is truly to be pitied."
Although he did not believe in God, at the hour of death on his bed he said, "I would give worlds, if I had them, that 'Age of Reason' had not been published. Oh! Lord help me. Oh! God, what have I done to suffer so much?" Then after that he said, "But there is no God. Yet if there is a God, what will become of me in the world after? If ever the devil had an agent, I have been that one."
He Was Frightened to Die
When an elderly woman attending him wanted to leave the room, he said, "Stay with me. For God's sake, I cannot bear to be left alone. For it is hell to be left alone."
The very last words of Tom Paine were, "My God, my God why has thou forsaken me?" And with these words he died. This is the death of the wicked. Utterly helpless and hopeless in the presence of a righteous God!
Voltaire
Whenever I go to Geneva, I cross over into Ferney- Voltaire, a little French village named after a noted infidel Voltaire (1694-1778). One night I drove with the pastor of my church in Geneva to look at a statue of this man.
I saw all of the tributes that were written to his name and all of the good works that he was said to have done for the community. But this man also lived and fought against Christianity.
The Man Who Cursed Christ
Notice what this noted French infidel said of Christ our Saviour: "Curse the wretch!" How on earth can you gather so much confidence to curse Christ and call Him a wretch?
He once boasted, "In twenty years, christianity will be no more. My single hand shall destroy the edifice it took twelve apostles to rear."
These are the people who have laid the foundations for the atheism that is so prevalent in Europe today.
Shortly after his death, the very house in which he printed his foul literature became the depot of the Geneva Bible Society. The nurse who attended Voltaire said: "For all the wealth in Europe I would not see another infidel die."
He Was Helpless and Desperate on His Deathbed
The physician, Trochim, who was with Voltaire at his death said that he cried out most desperately:
"I am abandoned by God and man! I will give you half of what I am worth if you will give me six month's life. Then I shall go to hell, and you will go with me. O Christ! O Jesus Christ!"
Notice the desperation and helplessness of this blasphemer as he descended into the abyss. He himself admitted that he was on his way to hell.
My dear Christian friends, let's make no mistakes about the reality of Heaven and Hell.
Thomas Hobbes
Thomas Hobbes (1588-1674), was a noted English political philosopher whose most famous work was “Leviathan”.
This cultured, clever skeptic corrupted many of the great men of his time. But what regret was his at the end of the road! What hopelessness permeated his last words:
"If I had the whole world, I would give it to live one day. I am about to take a leap in the dark!"
The good news is: Christians do not take leaps into the dark! When they die they go to Heaven!
Thomas Cromwell
Thomas Cromwell (1540), who became Earl of Essex, was the noted English statesman who was next to the King in power and influence. He was responsible for the digging up of the bones of Thomas Becket, and their burning as those of a traitor.
The Man Who Was Seduced
Over ambitious, Cromwell lost his influence and also his head, for he was executed. Historians tell us that as he died, he said in a speech:
"THE DEVIL IS READY TO SEDUCE US, AND I HAVE BEEN SEDUCED, but bear me witness that I die in the Catholic Faith."
Notice how people want to associate with God at the last moment. This man was insisting that he was in the faith!
Thomas Cork
Thomas Cork cried out in anguish as he was dying. He said, "Until this moment I thought there was neither a God nor a devil. But now I know, and I feel that there are both." He exclaimed, "I am doomed to judgment by the judgment of the Almighty."
Robert Green Ingersoll
He Wrote About the Mistakes of the Bible
Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899), famous American lawyer and prominent agnostic, lectured on Biblical inaccuracies and contradictions. His famed lecture "The Mistakes of Moses" led one defender of the Bible to say that he would like to hear Moses speak for five minutes on The Mistakes of Ingersoll!
Do I Have a Soul?
When he came to the gates of hell he was frozen with terror and he said, "OH GOD, IF THERE IS A GOD, HAVE MERCY ON MY SOUL - IF I HAVE A SOUL."
Sir Francis Gilfort
Sir Francis Gilfort, was taught early in his life about the gospel.
The Potential Minister Who Backslid
He was a backslidden Christian. In fact, it was expected that he would become a minister, but he fell into bad company. When he was passing on to eternity, he said,
"From where is this war in my heart? What arguments do I have to assist me in matters of fact? Do I say there is no hell when I feel one in my bosom?
AYE, AM I CERTAIN THAT THERE IS NO JUDGMENT WHEN I FEEL PRESENT JUDGMENT? Oh, wretch that I am. Whither shall I flee from this?
That there is a God, I know, for I continually feel that of His wrath. That there is a hell, I am surely certain.
Oh! That I was to lie upon the fire that never quench for a thousand years to purchase the favour of God, and to be reverted to Him again. But it is a fruitless wish.
Millions and millions of years will bring me no nearer to the end of my torment. Eternity, eternity!"
Do You Want Anyone to Pray For You?
As the distress of this man increased, he was asked whether he wanted some people to be invited to pray for him. He responded "Tigers and monsters, are you devils to come to torment me? Will you give me the prospects of Heaven to make my hell more intolerable?"
Then he said, "Oh! the insufferable pangs of death." And with that he died. How frightening!
William Pope
William Pope, was a born-again Christian, and knew the love of God. But he backslid when his wife died, and he followed Tom Paine. Not long after he backslid, he contracted tuberculosis, which was known at that time as The Consumption.
He is said to have been the leader of a company of infidels who ridiculed everything religious.
They Kicked the Bible and Tore it up
This was a classic backslider who said when he was dying, "No case is comparable to mine, I cannot revert, God will damn me forever."
One of the exercises of he and his friends was to kick the Bible about the floor, or tear it up. Friends who were present in his death-chamber spoke of it as a scene of terror.
A Frightening Scene of Death
His eyes rolled to and fro as he was dying on his bed, and he lifted up his hands as he cried out, "I have no contrition. I cannot repent. God will damn me. I know the day of grace is past...You see one who is damned forever... Oh, Eternity! Eternity... Nothing for me but hell. Come, eternal torments... Do you not see? Do you not see him? He is coming for me. Oh! the burning flame, the hell, the pain that I feel. Eternity will explain my torment."
And with these words, he died.
These were the very last words of a backslider!!
Dear Christian friend, what else can I say? I have shown you the real life testimonies of real people just like yourself. If that is not enough to make you believe and stay with God, then perhaps…
I have bargained for your soul, sharing with you all that a pastor can. I have shown you why you should not backslide. I have shown you the causes of backsliding, the descriptions of backsliding, and the symptoms of backsliding. I have shown you how people who backslide behave when they approach the gates of eternity. On the other hand, I have shown you the happy farewells of Christians with staying power to the very end.
My prayer for you is that you will find Christ and STAY in Christ. For on Christ the solid rock we stand. Amen!!
To the making of many books there is no end. May this book bless your ministry. Amen.

Jesus’ Principles for Christian Living - Nov-Dec 2017
In a good marriage faithfulness is imperative. Every married person should want to please his or her spouse. If you are behaving in a manner that is displeasing to your spouse, then you should stop and correct that behavior. The same principle applies to your relationship with Jesus. “For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God. And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight. 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” (1 John 3:20-23).
Jesus has given us specific principles for Christian living. If we live or abide according to the Word of God, He will keep us from sin (Jude 1:24). How do we become pure? “Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word. With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments. Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee” (Psalms 119:9-11).
Enoch walked with God and was translated to heaven (Hebrews 11:5). What is one of the ways we too can walk with God? “Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me” (Psalms 119:133).
One who walks with God will exhibit the fruit of the Spirit, “…love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance” (Galatians 5:22, 23).
People are watching us, whether we realize it or not. Have you, at any time in your Christian walk, had anybody throw in your face the saying, “That wasn’t very Christian”? I know I have! Whether it was completely fair of that person or not; there was a slip of behavior that gave them an opportunity to say something. We must live a consecrated life which is above reproach. One of our duties as Christians is to win souls for the kingdom of God. Part of our testimony is our lives and how our character is received.

“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven” (Matthew 5:16). “Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved. Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ” (1 Corinthians 10:33; 11:1).
How should Christians relate to the evils in the world? We must put away all things that are contrary to the principles of God. If we are acting no different than the unsaved, then we are not acting according to God’s Word. If our conversation is no different, then it testifies that we are no different. We must; “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” (1 John 2:15-17).
“…know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God” (James 4:4).
If we are not to be a part of the evils of this world, how should we relate to it? We must guard our thoughts! Thoughts dictate our behavior (Proverbs 4:23). We must continually have our thoughts in obedience to Christ. “Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ” (2 Corinthians 10:5).
We will become like the things to which we subject our minds. What we see and hear is what we become. So we must guard ourselves from the evils or entrapments of this world. “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God” (Romans 12:2).
Separate from the World
Christians must separate themselves from all things that are not true, honest, just, pure, lovely, etc. We must separate ourselves from people or things that are dishonest, perverse and use profanity (2 Corinthians 6:14-7:1). When we first become Christians we may still have many friends who are not. We might be determined to convert them. If they are not receptive, we must separate ourselves from them; especially if they do not respect our new lifestyle. This separation does not mean we should mistreat them, but stop running with them to do the same things they do. The Bible says, “Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God. For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries: Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you” (1 Peter 4:1-4).
Our friends and even co-workers can drag us down and into conversations that do not uplift Jesus’ principles of Christian living. “He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed” (Proverbs 13:20).
The music we listen to and the television shows or movies we watch should be free from immoral words and images. If we would be embarrassed to invite Jesus into a conversation or event, we should not be a part of it either. “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things” (Philippians 4:8).
When it comes to watching television, movies, and the music we listen to, it should not have or promote the following standards: “Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness [immoral], lasciviousness [insatiable desire for usually sexual pleasure], Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance [contention], emulations [fervent envy], wrath [anger manifested], strife, seditions [division], heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings [disorder], 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” (Galatians 5:19-21). The word “do” is not just an outward action by someone but is also something “to occupy one’s self with, be engaged in, busy one’s self about.” (The New Analytical Greek Lexicon, by Wesley J. Perschbacher #4238)
We should only listen to music which praises God; “And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear [revere], and shall trust in the Lord” (Psalms 40:3).
The decisions we make about how we conduct ourselves shouldn’t be based on feelings or what others’ feel is morally acceptable. That changes daily! Our decisions should be based on scripture. “He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered” (Proverbs 28:26).
Many things are becoming socially acceptable; such as living together without being married, gay marriage and its lifestyle. It is considered a hate crime to speak out against it. We do not condone any misconduct towards an individual that does not believe as we do. Everybody has the freewill to choose their own beliefs. God loves everyone and does not want anyone to be lost. We should love all mankind and pray for them. “He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the Lord, happy is he” (Proverbs 16:20). Unfortunately, sin has skewed the minds of many people into thinking evil things are okay. But God says; “There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death” (Proverbs 16:25).
Jesus clearly states that Christians who represent Him do indeed owe something to others. He warns that Christians who disregard their influence over others and their responsibility to be good examples for others and thereby lead people astray will not enter the kingdom (Matthew 5:19).
“These things command and teach. Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity” (1 Timothy 4:11, 12).
God wants you to be an example of what it means to follow Jesus. May Jesus live in you in every part of your life, so that people will recognize Jesus in you. If you have not accepted Jesus to live in your heart, invite Him in now, and believe that He comes in because He promised (Revelation 3:20). You must be born again! (John 3:7). “…choose you this day whom ye will serve… as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord” (Joshua 24:15).

THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death. Revelation 12:11
On the cross Jesus conquered forever the worst that sin and evil could do to Him. He met the full assault of evil and overcame it. Those who have entrusted their lives to Him share in that victory over evil.
In the context of this verse, Satan is noted to be the “accuser” of the brethren. He knows we are sinners and is constantly accusing us of it. But that is not the whole story. It is through the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross (the blood of the lamb) that sin is forgiven. When we receive by faith what Christ has done, our sins are wiped out. We are cleansed by faith in Christ’s blood. His saving grace and a willingness to receive us as sinners saved by grace is the key to this principle, not our feelings of worthiness.
We overcome him—our enemy—by confessing we are sinners and then confessing the cleansing of that sin through the sacrificial blood of the Lamb. And when we are forgiven there is then nothing of which we can possibly be accused by Satan. There is no possible accusation he can make against one who is completely forgiven! Thus we overcome him first, by the blood of the Lamb.
Romans 8:33-34 in the J. B. Phillips version reads, “Who is in a position to condemn? Only Christ and Christ died for us, Christ rose for us, Christ reigns in power for us, Christ prays for us!” So Satan, you are defeated and impotent! Get out of here!
Charles Wesley wrote about this in one of his beloved hymns:
No condemnation now I dread;
Jesus, and all in Him is mine!
Alive in Him, my living Head,
And clothed in righteousness divine,
Bold I approach the eternal throne,
And claim the crown, through Christ my own.
RESPONSE: Today I will overcome my enemy, Satan, by faith in the shed blood of Jesus, the Lamb of God.
PRAYER: Thank You Lord for providing all I need to be an overcomer.
