PROFANING GOD'S

HOLINESS

"For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto Holiness. He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man [the man who preaches and teaches Holiness], but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit." I Thessalonians 4:7-8. Most church members, professing Christians, and even 21st Century preachers don't have a clue as to what Holiness is. Why? Because Moral Cowards fill our pulpits, and they teach a perverted doctrine and Lifestyle for a true Christian. Ladies and gentlemen, the ranks of men and women preachers, both pastors and evangelists are saturated with queers, lesbians, and fornicators -- so how can you hear true Holiness preached? These profane God's Holiness, and they lead their followers to profane God's Holiness also. Holiness is not a church -- it is a sanctified, holy lifestyle. "And Holiness [true Holiness], without which no man shall see the Lord." Hebrews 12:14. When an individual is truly born again in Christ Jesus, our new man, is "created in righteousness and true Holiness." Ephesians 4:24. There is a counterfeit holiness being preached and offered by soothsaying preachers on the bargain counter that is phony as a 3-dollar bill, and will not save anyone.

IT IS NOT GRACE, BUT DISGRACE

It is written of the church of old: "Judah hath profaned the Holiness of the Lord which he loved," Malachi 2:11, and was rejected by the Lord. You see my beloved, "Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish." Ephesians 5:25-27. Thank you Lord Jesus! We are truly saved by Grace, but not greasy grace nor unmerited favor to do as we please like today's Laodicean Church crowd.

Grace doesn't just mean "unmerited favor" as used in theological terminology by today's prevaricators of the truth, called pastors, preachers, evangelists, and teachers, when talking about being saved, born-again, or forgiven. "Being justified by faith ... we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand." Romans 5:1-2. You see, Grace also means Brace -- power to overcome the flesh, sin, and the devil -- not just forgiveness of sins. Grace also gives power to the true believer to overcome persecution and sufferings for Christ's sake, and to overcome sin and the devil. Who invented the cliche', "It's easier to get forgiveness than permission"? -- Some old Calvinist to cover up that old life he lives in Disgrace, and calls it living in Grace. Remember, my beloved, God's Grace cries out to you: "Whosoever abideth in him [Christ] sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen Him, neither known Him." I John 3:6. Also: "He that committeth sin is of the devil." Verse 8. And: "Awake to righteousness [Holiness], and sin not; for some have not the

knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame [or disgrace]." I Corinthians 15:34.

WHAT IS PROFANENESS?

Profane means: "Unsanctified; not holy because of being unconsecrated, impure, or defiled; what one does that serves to debase or defile what is Holy; desecrate; irreverent to that which is declared Holy."

Jeremiah, God's prophet of old, foretold of the profaneness of today's clergy thusly: "For both prophet and priest are PROFANE; yea, in my house have I found their wickedness, saith the Lord ... For from the prophets of Jerusalem [headquarters] is PROFANENESS gone forth into all the land ... In the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly." Jeremiah 23:11, 15, 20 -- Unsanctified, impure, irreverent and disrespectful of that which is Holy -- the Word of God, and our bodies which are God's temples. Cf. I Corinthians 6:19-20. Profaneness is obvious to the five senses and mind in almost all church congregations, large and small, in the good old U.S.A.!

GOD REQUIRES OBEDIENCE & SUBMISSION TO HIS WORD -- OR BE REJECTED

True Holiness must be taught from both Old and New Testaments. All the things that God required of His church of old are "our examples ... and they are written for our admonition." I Corinthians 10:6, 11. Also: "Whatsoever things were written aforetime [in the O.T.] were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope." Romans 15:4. The Apostle Peter commanded us to be "mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets." II Peter 3:2.

Our churches are crowded with "Jezebels", brazen women, who care nothing about Obedience and Submission to God's Word. Submission is not in the mind or vocabulary of the average modern woman -- a worldly woman nor a Christian. God recorded the lifestyle of two Jezebels in our Holy Bible -- II Kings 9:30, "Jezebel ... painted her face, and tired her head, and looked out at a window." Revelation 2:20 -- Jesus declared to that church at Thyatira: "I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman JEZEBEL, which calleth herself a prophetess to teach and to seduce my servants." They were rejected!

"COSMETIC" GRACE

God's grace reaches the heart and is transforming to our mind, spirit, and body. We are directed of the Lord to present our bodies a living sacrifice, "holy, acceptable unto God, which is our reasonable [not unreasonable] service. And be not conformed to this world." Romans 12:1. Remember, the church of Moses that spent forty years in the wilderness is our example. I Corinthians 10:1-12.

Women, by the desecration of their bodies, are by far the greatest profaners of God's Holiness. Ungodly dresses, shorts, bikinis and swim suits expose their flesh -- and in God's sight they are heathens, not Christians -- neither they who dress in pants, wear jewelry, paint up, and cut their hair like men. In the church of old, God would not permit women or men to wear jewelry or ornaments in His presence. "For

the Lord had said unto Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, ye are a stiffnecked people: I will come up into the midst of thee in a moment, and consume thee: therefore now put off thy ornaments from thee, that I may know what to do unto thee. And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments by the mount Horeb." Exodus 33:5-6. And He still hates this pagan practice among His people.

Prophetically, God has spoken to His rebellious daughters, thusly: "And when thou art spoiled, what wilt thou do [in God's terrible rising judgments]? Though thou clothest thyself with crimson, though thou deckest thee with ornaments of gold, though thou rentest thy face with painting, in vain shalt thou make thyself fair; thy lovers [i.e., the worldly crowd] will despise thee, they will seek thy life." Jeremiah 4:30. I'm teaching Holiness, without which no man or woman shall see the Lord. Hebrews 12:14.

A CHRISTIAN MUST OBEY EVERY WORD OF GOD

Jesus said it, and He quoted a scripture from the Old Testament: "It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." Matthew 4:4. Where can you go to hear all the Truth of God's Word from our Holy Bible taught, preached, and practiced -- in a local church assembly? Not very likely you will. Most pastors are wimps and pantywaists -- they are not valiant to preach you the Truth about God's demands to live a holy lifestyle. I asked a pastor here in Jacksonville, who pastors a large Church of God, a divining question a while back -- "Brother, you have the same Bible I do, why is it that you do not come across scriptures on Holiness like I do, for they are everywhere throughout the Bible?" His mouth dropped open and he was speechless, and he ought to be. You can look out over his congregation and see the "heathens" and "Jezebels", for the pews are filled with them -- and they openly profane God's Holiness. You see, this pastor and his crowd called me a "clothesline" preacher because I preach the Truth from the Bible about how women are commanded of God to dress.

My dearly beloved, if you go to church or watch religious broadcasting on TV, take a close look; the whole congregation, especially the women, are dressed like pagans in an Idol's temple. These are rejected by the Lord. No wonder Jesus prophesied 2000 years ago this amazing prophecy about His Endtime Church: "Because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth ... thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and BLIND, and naked." Revelation 3:16-17. This is the spiritual profile of Christ's backslidden, endtime church.

WHO DO YOU BELIEVE?

If you don't believe this message and Holy Ghost warning from your Holy Bible, you are believing a lie, and most likely you believe some lying preacher. God Almighty chose me out of many preachers to be His prophet, because I do not fear the faces of men nor the result of preaching Holiness, which causes men and women to turn away from me, and give their tithes and offerings to pantywaist preachers who tickle their ears with half-truths and sweet nothings. I fear only God and His judgments for profaning His Holiness. My wife, my daughters, and church women do not rule over me. They submit to me as over them in the Lord, and to their husbands at home -- because they believe the Word of God I preach.

"Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord ... Let the wives be [subject] to their own husbands in every thing." Ephesians 5:22-24. But they don't, and they profane God's Holiness. This is the conduct commanded to Christ's church. Verse 32. Also: "Obey them that have the rule over

you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls." Hebrews 13:17. However the man of God you respect, follow, and obey must meet God's qualifications, to wit: "The God of Israel said ... He that ruleth over men must be just, ruling in the Fear of God." II Samuel 23:3. Therefore he will teach you the Holiness lifestyle from the Word of God.

Now hear this Holy Ghost order: "We beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you; And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake." I Thessalonians 5:12-13. Please open your hearts to this great revelation of the TRUTH, before the spirit of antichrist's strong delusion causes you to believe a lie and be lost. Cf. II Thessalonians 2:10-11.

GOD'S JUDGMENT ON REBELLIOUS WOMEN

Isaiah was Jesus Christ's favorite prophet that He quoted and taught from. His prophesied judgments from the Lord upon rebellious and profane women are prophetically profound. Ladies, you can hate me and the Truth of this message and warning from the Lord, but you will not escape the judgment of God awaiting you, if you are proud and rebellious.

The prophecies of Isaiah, chapters 2 and 3, are one vision and revelation with the designated time of fulfillment revealed, thusly: "It shall come to pass in the last days ... For the day of the Lord of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall [or she shall] be brought low ... In that day [just before the Lord's return] a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold ... to the moles and to the bats." Isaiah 2:2, 12, 20.

The prophet's warnings continue: God says, "As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they [the preachers] which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths [which is Holiness] ... Moreover the Lord saith, Because the daughters of Zion [church women] are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes ... Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion. In that day [endtime] the Lord will take away the bravery of their tinkling ornaments ... the chains, and the bracelets ... the ornaments of the legs ... The rings, and nose jewels, The changeable suits of apparel ... And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there shall be stink; and instead of a girdle a rent; and instead of well set hair baldness ... And burning instead of beauty." Isaiah 3:12, 16-24.

This great prophet of God also prophesied of our very own age thusly: "And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of Holiness; the unclean [nor profane] shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein." Isaiah 35:8. My, what a prophet!

GOD SAID TO DO IT -- AND I AM

"And they [God's ministers] shall teach my people the difference between the holy and PROFANE, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean." Ezekiel 44:23. Like the Apostle Paul, I warn "every man", and teach "every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus. Whereunto I also labor, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily." Colossians

1:28-29. Amen!

The Bible, in the New Testament by the way, commands women to live by its standards of Holiness by dressing Modestly, with shamefacedness and sobriety. And OBEDIENCE to these Bible standards is not motivated by self-righteousness or a Holier-than-thou attitude. It is being obedient and in submission to God's will and word. I Timothy 2:9-15. "Wives, be in subjection to your own husbands ... Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair [with gold or decorative adornments], and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel [with pride] ... [but with] a meek and quiet spirit ... For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves ... Even as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord." I Peter 3:1-6. Ladies, the holy women of the Bible are your examples. Don't join up with those in these crowded churches who are profaning God's Holiness, and are facing terrifying divine judgments.

"Be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation [lifestyle], in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity." I Timothy 4:12. "But shun PROFANE and vain babblings [of profane preachers]: for they will increase unto more ungodliness." II Timothy 2:16. Excellent advice, my beloved.

BE VERY SURE

Beware of preachers and teachers who do not teach from the Real Bible -- the King James Version of 1611. As Christ's apostle warned us, "For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women [and there are thousands of them] laden with sins, led away with divers lusts. EVER LEARNING, AND NEVER ABLE TO COME TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH." II Timothy 3:6-7.

Now, ladies, it takes great courage to seek, to find, and obey the TRUTH: for the world is more ready to believe falsehood than to believe the TRUTH! You've found it, now remember, since the days of Cain and Abel, TRUTH has been the great dividing factor in the world. Don't be one of those silly women "that are ever learning, and never able to come to [or accept] the knowledge of the TRUTH. AMEN!

THE BIBLE

This book reveals the mind of God, the state of man, the way of salvation, the doom of sinners, and the happiness of believers.

Its doctrines are holy, its precepts are binding, its histories are true, and its decisions are immutable.

Read it to be wise, believe it to be safe, and practice it to be holy. It contains light to direct you, food to support you, and comfort to cheer you.

It is the traveler's map, the pilgrim's staff, the pilot's compass, the soldier's sword, and the Christian's

charter. Here, too, heaven is opened, and the gates of hell disclosed.

Christ is its grand subject, our good its design, and the glory of God its end.

It should fill the memory, rule the heart, and guide the feet. Read it slowly, frequently, prayerfully. It is a mine of wealth, a paradise of glory, and a river of pleasure.

It is given you in life, will be opened at the judgment, and be remembered forever. It involves highest responsibility, will reward the greatest labor, and condemn all who trifle with its sacred contents.
