WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE CONDITIONAL

Hebrews 13:4 advises us that “Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed [where your children are conceived] undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers GOD will judge.” Hebrews 13:5 says, “Let your conversation be without covetousness [envy, jealousy]; and be content with such things as ye have: for HE [JESUS, who is GOD, who came to earth in the flesh1] hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee [as long as we never leave or forsake HIM].” Everything with GOD is conditional! In 2 Chronicles 15:2, GOD says through HIS prophet Azariah, “The LORD is with you, while ye be with HIM; and if ye seek HIM, HE will be found of you; but if ye forsake HIM, HE will forsake you.”
Hebrews 13:1 states, “Let brotherly love continue.” This means Christian brotherhood, supporting each other, caring for others as if we are caring for the LORD.2 We are commanded to share the truth of the Gospel with all who will listen, but we are also commanded not to fellowship with the ungodly.3 We are to do this, as verse 6 states, “So that we may boldly say, The LORD is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.”
Marriage under GOD’S conditions (men with women) is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled. Moses, who wrote of Adam and Eve and wrote the first five books of the Old Testament, had several wives.4 In the Middle East, some people to this day believe they can have four wives and as many concubines as they are able to support. The patriarch Jacob (renamed Israel by GOD in Genesis chapter 32) had four wives. Others such as Abraham, David, Gideon, and many others had many wives.5 This is law from GOD, not man. This is a private matter for godly men and women, not an issue for the secular antichrist government! GOD will judge everyone who opposes HIM (Hebrews 13:4).
Marriage is a very serious matter with GOD and GOD’S true children (born-of-the-SPIRIT Christians). It is to be a replica of the LORD as the bridegroom and HIS followers as the bride of CHRIST, the body of CHRIST. If we remain in faith and holiness till the end, we will be with HIM in Heaven forever!6
JESUS gave us many signs so we would know what it will be like just before HE comes back to earth in the end of time. Those of us who follow the LORD, the WORD of GOD, know the time is very near. JESUS told HIS disciples, and all who will hear, many of the signs before HIS return to earth in Matthew, chapter 24. “So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it [the end of time] is near, even at the doors” (Matthew 24:33).
Marriage is serious because GOD married the first couple, commanding them to be fruitful and multiply, to fill and replenish the earth. We are to fill the earth with spiritually enlightened children of GOD who are redeemed, cleansed of sin, through the blood sacrifice of JESUS. JESUS is the light, and now we are lights to the world.7 We (the born-again, HOLY SPIRIT-filled church of the redeemed) are to bring the good news of the Gospel to all the world so that every soul has the chance to accept the great gift of salvation.8 No sin can enter Heaven.9
Matthew 25:1 says, “Then shall the kingdom of Heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps [the WORD of GOD is light10], and [the ten virgins] went forth to meet [JESUS] the BRIDEGROOM.” All of these ten were virgins, were saved, but only “five of them were wise,” (feared GOD). The fear of the LORD, the BRIDEGROOM, is wisdom (Job 28:28). But “five [of the ten virgins] were foolish. They that were foolish [had no fear of GOD] took their lamps, and took no oil [were not filled with the HOLY SPIRIT, through seeking the LORD and studying the WORD, which is SPIRIT and life] with them” (Matthew 25:2-3). We must be continuously filled with the SPIRIT! “Not by might, nor by power, but by MY SPIRIT [you are saved], saith the LORD of hosts” (Zechariah 4:6). James 2:26 says, “As the body without the SPIRIT is dead, so faith without works is dead also.”
The five foolish virgins (they were Christians but became lukewarm and fell away) took NO SPIRIT OF GOD with them. They took only the WORD of GOD by the letter (which kills), not the SPIRIT of GOD. THE WORD of GOD tells us that “the letter killeth, but the SPIRIT giveth life” (2 Corinthians 3:6).
“But the [five] wise [virgins, the five who feared GOD] took oil [the SPIRIT of GOD] in their vessels [in their bodies] with their lamps [the WORD of GOD is SPIRIT and life eternal]. While the BRIDEGROOM tarried, they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the BRIDEGROOM cometh; go ye out to meet HIM. Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
“And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. And while they went to buy, the BRIDEGROOM came; and they that were ready went in with HIM to the marriage: and the door was shut” (Matthew 25:4-10).
“Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, LORD, LORD, open to us. But HE answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the SON of MAN [the BRIDEGROOM] cometh” (Matthew 25:11-13). This parable is meant for us today. Fifty percent of the followers of JESUS, the members of HIS body, did not meet the conditions and were shut out of the wedding, which means being shut out of Heaven. This is a warning about the conditions you must meet to enter in (Luke 12:35-40).
“Then said one unto HIM, LORD, are there few that be saved? And HE said unto them, Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. When once the MASTER of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, LORD, LORD, open unto us; and HE shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are: Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in THY presence, and THOU hast taught in our streets. But HE shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from ME, all ye workers of iniquity. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of GOD, and you yourselves thrust out” (Luke 13:23-28).
In the book of Matthew, JESUS said, “Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it” (Matthew 7:13-14).
At the end of the age, there will be the Marriage Supper of the LAMB for all those who walked daily in close communion and obedience to the LORD.11 The beginning of the Bible shows the communion between GOD and Adam and Eve, HIS first children. But the first Adam and his wife failed by disobeying the single rule GOD commanded Adam to keep, and divorced themselves from their relationship with their heavenly FATHER (Genesis 2:16-17).
Because GOD loves all of HIS creation, and doesn’t want any to perish, HE made a way for us to be reunited with our FATHER in Heaven. JESUS came to earth to die in our place and give humanity a second chance to be restored into HIS family. “And the SPIRIT and the bride [of CHRIST, the BRIDEGROOM] say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come [to the marriage of CHRIST]. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life [the HOLY SPIRIT is the water, which is the WORD of GOD, CHRIST] freely” (Revelation 22:17).12 But the condition is that we must surrender our old lives of sin and walk in holiness and obedience to the LORD, being led by HIS HOLY SPIRIT daily.13 JESUS “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).
Revelation 21:9 says, “And there came unto me [John] one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will show thee the bride, the LAMB’S [the BRIDEGROOM’S] wife.” Adam and Eve fell away from GOD, but GOD, by coming to earth as a man and shedding HIS sinless blood as an atonement for our sins, reconciled those who receive it back to HIMSELF. GOD marries men and women who are faithful and true to HIM, who will obey HIS every WORD. HE desires a wife who will be eternally faithful to HIM.14 The bride is the glory of GOD (Ephesians 5:25-27).
“And he carried me away in the SPIRIT to a great and high mountain, and showed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of Heaven from GOD, Having the glory of GOD: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal” (Revelation 21:10-11). “And there shall in no wise enter into it [Heaven] any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the LAMB’S book of life” (Revelation 21:27).
“He that overcometh [that’s the condition] shall inherit all things; and I will be his GOD, and he shall be MY son. 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” (Revelation 21:7-8). The first death is when your natural body dies; the second death is when a soul with its eternal body, is cast into the Lake of Fire and suffers beyond imagination for all eternity.
If you don’t have much faith, then ask GOD to give you more faith and read GOD’S WORD, because “faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the WORD of GOD” (Romans 10:17). Be saturated with the HOLY SPIRIT at all times, for no one knows the time of HIS return to earth (Mark 13:32-33). JESUS said, “The WORDS that I speak unto you, they are SPIRIT, and they are life” (John 6:63).
The first and most important condition the LORD JESUS CHRIST said you must fulfil is this: “Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of GOD” (John 3:3). Today is the day of salvation. If you once were saved but have fallen away, today can be the day of recommitting your life to the LORD. This is the most important decision you will ever make. Accept the sacrifice JESUS came to earth to provide for you. HE took vicious stripes and was beaten beyond recognition so that you may be healed.15 HE willingly was crucified so that HIS sinless blood could cleanse you from every sin you have on your soul. GOD is so merciful that HE made a way for you to be restored back to communion with HIM, with great peace, blessings, and power. Don’t turn HIM away.
To be saved and start your new life, say this prayer to GOD with all of your heart:
Prayer
My LORD and my GOD, have mercy upon my soul, a sinner. 1 I believe that JESUS CHRIST is the SON of the living GOD. 2 I believe that HE died on the cross and shed HIS precious blood for the forgiveness of all my former sins. 3 I believe that GOD raised JESUS from the dead by the power of the HOLY SPIRIT 4 and that HE sits on the right hand of GOD at this moment, hearing my confession of sin and this prayer. 5 I open up the door of my heart, and I invite YOU into my heart, LORD JESUS. 6 Wash all of my filthy sins away in the precious blood that YOU shed in my place on the cross at Calvary. 7 YOU will not turn me away, LORD JESUS; YOU will forgive my sins and save my soul. I know because YOUR WORD, the Bible, says so. 8 YOUR WORD says that YOU will turn no one away, and that includes me. 9 Therefore, I know that YOU have heard me, and I know that YOU have answered me, and I know that I am saved. 10 And I thank YOU, LORD JESUS, for saving my soul, and I will show my thankfulness by doing as YOU command and sin no more.11
After salvation, JESUS said to be baptized, fully submerged in water, in the name of the FATHER, and of the SON, and of the HOLY SPIRIT.12 Then study the King James Version Bible, and, for your benefit and the benefit of others, do what it says.13
CHRIST and GOD the FATHER now live in you through the HOLY SPIRIT. There is a way you can receive a fuller portion of the divine nature of GOD in you. The more the divine nature of GOD lives in you, the more you will be able to stand against the temptations that have so easily moved so many millions of Christians away from salvation. Pray for the baptism in the HOLY SPIRIT.14 For instructions on how to receive the baptism in the HOLY SPIRIT and to receive more of GOD’S holy nature, ask for our literature or call. For without holiness, no man shall see GOD (Hebrews 12:14).

If you want the world saved, as JESUS commands, then don’t rob GOD of HIS tithes and offerings. GOD said, “Will a man rob GOD? Yet ye have robbed ME. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed THEE? In tithes and offerings. Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed ME, even this whole nation [and this whole world]. Bring ye all the tithes [a ‘tithe’ is 10% of your gross income] into the storehouse, that there may be meat [Spiritual food] in MINE house [souls saved], and prove ME now herewith, saith the LORD of HOSTS, if I will not open you the windows of Heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of HOSTS. And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of HOSTS” (Malachi 3:8-12).
