The Gender Bathrooms Issue......deno......share freely.
..........Note: Every soul is greatly loved and cherished by God as worthy of His own atoning blood. God in His love for us wills that none perish but that all men be saved. Yes God greatly loves us all. But God loving us itself cannot of itself save us, his Word even reveals this. In man's sin snare, just being loved by God could not undo what Adam did. Sinless blood had to be poured out by a sinless man to atone for the sin and to undo its power over us. Even so just saying I love God with one's mouth cannot save a man. He must put action behind his love speech and repent of his sin, agree with God and His holy convictions and ways, and believe in Jesus Christ God's Son's atoning death, and justifying resurrection calling upon Jesus to forgive and save him...You can say God loves you and that you love God all day, but if you refuse to repent of your sin and refuse to agree with God's holy ways and convictions and obey Jesus, but actually fight against the Lord and his holy ways, Satan then is still hanging around in your life, seeing your passion sign for his ways is still up and this allows him to have your soul in his deceiving vice......(Read John 14:23-24).....deno.
Now on the Gender Bathroom Issue.
The implementing of the gender bathrooms is not an act of compassion, nor special understanding although it is under the wolves skin that it is sold on the American people. Remove all the wrappers off this issue and you will find it is a purposed offense against God and Jesus Christ, against the bible and Christianity, and christians of America. They are turning what is clear black and white given the world by God into delusional gray. And it is another test to see where the heart of the nation is and how much change we will tolerate of former moral beliefs and traditions.
He said a change is coming to America and this was part of that planned enforced change. He will be remembered by God as the president of America that promoted what God called an abomination. This sin God said is amongst the greater sins. The toleration of abominations and the promotion thereof gravely effects a people. It is like a fist towards heaven saying we do not want Your Rule over us. In the soul of that nation, in the spiritual atmosphere the damage of this tolerance and of this abomination promotion is like the effects of a mighty outbreak of the most deadliest of diseases that only repentance and the removal of that abomination can heal. Tolerating it will spread its soulish deadly disease in ways the world knows not of. Satan is totally celebrating on this one.
This evil is an agenda. God save America...Even The In God We Trust is under attack also and traditional marriage redefined to give abomination it's ok and tolerance in the American society.
........ The war against God is alive in the nation. The people financing and promoting this war let us pray they all will be exposed whoever they may be and lose all their power and influence in our country and concerning its course.
....... When men who once knew God turn away from Him as to dictate to Him how things will be as they refuse His Word and refuse to agree with God on the issues and refuse to repent, but now actually promote the sin against the Thou Shalt Not , and He sees in their heart that ON PURPOSE they are doing this, a curse begins to form within them against their eternity. It strangely scratches against their soul everyday and when their soul leaves the body, they find out that that slight strange uncomfortable scratch was the claws of their appointed misleading demons, the spirits of their disobedience that deceived them thru their injected unnatural affections.
.........None of us are perfect and that truth is established, but some sin loving it and do so without any restraint. Everything within them flows in harmony and delight with the sin and nothing inside them disagrees with it. But there are those who in the spirit, in the hidden man of the heart are born of God by faith in Jesus Christ; yet they being still clothed with the sinful flesh body, they notice the banging of two wills going on on the inside of them when they sin. Now these sometime sin, but on the inside of their heart and souls they have a voice of disagreement echoing its disagreement with their sin by conviction with the Thou Shalt Not voice. The removal of heavens conviction is what they want to remove from the people. That is why they enforce the removal of the Ten Commandments and replace it with the Forget God and "Do What Thou Will" evil spirit and doctrine.(Read Psalms 2:1-12 & Ephesians 2:1-3).
.........Without the salt of the holy voice of conviction, the world would even be darker than it is. There would be a 4th bathroom put in place for the comforts of Lucifer himself so he would not be offended or feel out of place in the world..That fourth bathroom is already way into construction........deno........share freely.

Exposing Satan and Satanic Compassion......written by deno.
EXPOSING SATAN and Satanic Compassion.....written by deno.
The Bread is in the writing.
There is compassion which is from God, there is human compassion, and there exist satanic compassion (Yes Satanic Compassion). Let's break it down.
God's compassion forgives the repentant heart but always expects agreement and conformity to God's Laws of holiness. If you do not agree with God and you refuse to repent, the compassion stops. That is why there exist hell. This is the truth. It must be preached.
Human compassion sheds tears on the hurting and gathers together to help mend the pains of life in this world. It stops there.
Satanic compassion removes the black and white about all it can to cause confusion and make gray what from God was given to us in clear black and white distinction, (so that in that last days type of new formed subtle temptation), by it's clever distorting confusing wit, people cross God's drawn lines and even justify themselves to do so. In other words satanic compassion takes the clear black and white, right from wrong Commandments of God, and makes gray everything that is right from wrong so that salt and light is removed from society to make the atmosphere more comfortable for the spirit of gray and so that what is clearly evil and wrong to God, feels more comfortable and welcomed to man, to the world. This is Satan's present satanic agenda.
This gender confusion and bathroom issue is clear black and white turned into gray by the implementation of satanic compassion. It removes all need of repentance and says, Do As You Will, not as God says. It's the same persuasive voice that spoke to Eve that turned Gods black and white clarity into a gray issue that first confused and then deceived. Then once the gray was given place to, IT CURSED and RUINED THE WORLD.
Satanic compassion is also destructive to a nation where it is applied that tolerates all its gray and its satanic compassion laws. Satanic compassion influencing the human soul will even convince that soul and mind to cry tears and feel sorry for even Satan himself and strive to make a comforting place for satan and his satanic evil perversions in society.
This also it will say and do to all those that do not feel sorry for satan and his spiritual confusion and evil; All those that oppose this satanic compassion law on Satan and his gray issues, the world would call those opposers mean, the cruel, the evil unloving ones, even the haters, while they being deceived cry tears for satan himself feeling sorry for his sin and for his confused mind and they go down with him in time.
God's Spirit does not tolerate or feel sorry for Satan, nor does God have any compassion on Satan at all because the devil cannot deceive the Lord or hide his wicked destructive evil intents. God knows Satan is more dangerous than a rattle snake and more wicked and more monstrous than any human soul. His evil spirit today is working within satanic tolerance and within all the gray. Soon the world will accept the fulness of his final greatest lie of the antichrist persuasive wit. He will turn it all, even the former light and traditional ways to gray first. America today is full of this Gray. Then after the confusion is set in place, the devil comes to turn everything, even the whole world totally UPSIDE DOWN challenging all the worlds former beliefs and traditions. He confuses first his prey to make them wonder and question. He deceives secondly and then after he has deceived/bitten his victims, he then injects the Serpent's poison.
The whole world fall's together for Satan's greatest believable last days gigantic satanic lie of his antichrist who Satan himself sits down upon the world's highest throne in darkness (Rev 13:2). The world in that hour will go from its gray position (because it is utterly confused from the effects of the satanic poison that is messing with their head), to total darkness (Strong delusion), believing the greatest lie of all is the truth and that the former truth that they before believed was a lie (2 Thess 2:11-12). They fall away from Jesus (2 Thess 2:1-3) into the arms of Lucifer unto damnation. He will lie about God and Jesus Christ and exalt himself above all that men have formerly believed, but his own mouth of blaspheme will cause his unending destruction. Jesus destroys him at the brightness of his return (2 Thess 2:1-14).
The world is right now FAR into the gray area. The serpent's fangs are being drove deep into position for the full poisoning of the soul of the world. Soon comes the full climax of the darkness which will cause the serpent's hiss to sound like a beautiful angelic voice BUT THAT PERCEPTION COMES FROM THE SATANIC POISON RUNNING THRU THEIR VEINS......Jesus is the Truth and Jesus is both Lord and Christ. Stick to him forever....Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Give place to the devil and he will eventually ruin and destroy his bitten prey with both his gray and darkness spell potions and most deadly poison (AntiChrist)......share freely.........deno.

The Power and Glory of THE WORD......deno.....share freely.
The Word of God became flesh and dwelt amongst us. Those that believed and mixed faith with THE WORD drew out from THE WORD OF GOD it's living, breathing, blessing, healing, life saving power. They did not just hear and behold the WORD OF GOD GLORY. THEY TASTED ITS GLORY and POWER. THEY EXPERIENCED IT FOR THEMSELVES WHAT THE WORD COULD DO WHEN STRONGLY BELIEVED. Those that did not mix faith with THE WORD, to them it was just interesting conversation from the fellowship level of hearing only. Jesus said, it is when we BELIEVE we will experience the Words Power and the Glory of God in HIS WORD......deno......share freely.
Beloved Now We Are the Sons of God.......deno......share freely.
FREE INDEED.
Jesus, was the Son of the Father's house and all of us the servants and slaves. The Son loved all of us who were the servants and the slaves of the house. He loved us as he loves himself. REAL LOVE. So Jesus purchased our freedom from the servant status and from all of our slaveries to sin and to Satan with His own precious blood. Therefore knowing of the GREAT PRICE HE WOULD PAY FOR US (For our freedom & Adoption), He said, whom the Son has made free is free indeed. Now we who are in Christ Jesus, we are now not of this world even as Jesus is not of this world-EVEN AS-EVEN AS- EVEN AS Jesus is not of this world(John 17:16). This also reveals to us that we are FREE INDEED even as Jesus is FREE INDEED for we who believe are all the sons of God in Christ. Note: The flesh and bone of Christ has the same exact everything (Freedom and Everything) as Christ their HEAD has. The body and the HEAD are ONE and it was God himself that made it so.
Our freedom was bought with a price. But the GOOD NEWS does not stop there. His Father took the love a step further; He adopted us -who were the slaves and servants and He adopted us as Sons of God to give Jesus many brothers and sisters as revealed in John 20:16-17..Common English Bible (CEB). In Christ Jesus we are now the sons and daughters of God of the same household of Christ. We are so loved by Jesus and the Father that they have together made us heirs of God and joint heirs with Jesus of all that the Father has (1 Cor 3:21-23).
Let's read some scriptures and see what they reveal.
After the Resurrection Event.
John 20:16-17....16 Jesus said to her, “Mary.”
She turned and said to him, “Rabbouni” (which means Teacher).
17 Jesus said to her, “Don’t hold on to me, for I haven’t yet gone back up to my Father. Go to my brothers and sisters and tell them, ‘I’m going up to my Father (Dad) and your Father (Dad), to my God and your God.’”
Now lets read 1 John 3:1-2... Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God (even the brothers and sisters of Christ): therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
The Great Adoption Scripture.
In the flesh we have earthen fathers, but In Christ our spirit is born of God, meaning also our spirits are the sons of God. We are spiritual royalty. Kings and Priest.
Galatians 4:4-7New King James Version (NKJV)
4 But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, 5 to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive THE ADOPTION AS SONS.
6 AND BECAUSE YOU ARE NOW SONS, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, by which we cry, “Abba, Father (Daddy)!” 7 Therefore you are no longer a slave BUT A SON, and if a son, then an heir of God thru Christ.
It is amazing who we are and what we are now in Christ. Oh like Paul said, there is such glory soon to be revealed in us (Romans 8:18-19). For I reckon that the sufferings/persecutions of this present time are not worthy to be compared to the glory that shall be revealed IN US.19) For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly awaits for the MANIFESTATION OF THE SONS OF GOD.
All the sons and daughters in Christ share in the reverence of the Risen Son of God and in this God and Jesus take great pleasure in. As it is written, He is not ashamed to esteem them as His brothers and sisters......Amen......deno......share freely.

There is No One Good but God.....Jesus' Counsel to the Rich Young Ruler......deno......share freely.
Luke 18:18-27New King James Version (NKJV)
Jesus Counsels the Rich Young Ruler
18 Now a certain ruler asked Him, saying, “Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”
19 So Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. 20 You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery,’ ‘Do not murder,’ ‘Do not steal,’ ‘Do not bear false witness,’ ‘Honor your father and your mother.
21 And he said, “All these things I have kept from my youth.”
22 So when Jesus heard these things, He said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.”
23 But when he heard this, he became very sorrowful, for he was very rich.
With God All Things Are Possible
24 And when Jesus saw that he became very sorrowful, He said, “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God! 25 For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”
26 And those who heard it said, “Who then can be saved?”
27 But He said, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.”
In our text we have spiritual gold nuggets of sound redemption doctrine. From the lips of Christ himself, Jesus sets the record straight with his answers on some very important redemption doctrinal issues and questions that many have.
First of all we have a young man in our text that wants to be saved. Somewhere along the line of Jesus' many teachings this young man's ears heard of eternal life and that he wanted (WHO WOULDN'T). So he set out on a journey to find this Jesus who preached on the glorious eternal life he was seeking to inherit.
Well the time came when the young man found the Lord. In his excitement he hurries to the Master and says the words, GOOD MASTER, what must I DO to be saved, to inherit eternal life? Jesus hears the young man's zeal and he starts his response. The first thing Jesus ON PURPOSE responded to was to the first two words the young man said, he said "GOOD MASTER". Jesus took this opportunity to share with us all what he wanted that young man to know and all of us to know about who is really good, (Jesus knew this passage of his life and words was going to make THE BOOK-the BIBLE. He even knew that one day I would be writing on these words and that you would be reading them. What an ALL KNOWING MIGHTY GOD WE SERVE.
In His ALL KNOWING GLORY JESUS looks at the young man and says, Why do you call Me Good? THERE IS NO ONE GOOD BUT GOD. Jesus in saying that was teaching us all what WE ALL NEED TO KNOW. He was stripping from all people the idea that they are good WE ARE NOT.
The bible says that it is absolutely impossible for God to lie and that God has spoken unto us in these last days thru HIS SON. Knowing those scriptures THAT GOD CANNOT LIE and that GOD HAS SPOKEN UNTO US ALL IN THESE LAST DAYS THRU HIS SON, we must all agree with Jesus THAT CANNOT LIE that there is no one good, BUT GOD.
Let us think about THAT TRUTH for a moment. The best person we could know who is kind, generous, gentle and yet of strong spirit who is honest, loving, and giving; though he has some traits of good character that shows these things, IS HE WITHOUT SIN? No. Notta. No Way.
Good in God's honest eyes lines up with this, with these words. God is light and in God there is no darkness at all, not even a speck. Can any of us honestly say we are that pure in heart? Lets not kid ourselves. Some of the nicest outward appearing people even in the church, have some of the most awful secret sinful imaginations and other secret sinful things going on, on the inside. Jesus knows the heart of all of us for to Jesus the heart is the person and the person is the heart, not our bodies looks and physical organs. And when Jesus said, THERE IS NO ONE GOOD BUT GOD, HE WAS NOT LYING. So by the Lords own words, all of us together are stripped of any right to self boasting about ourselves or about others as to say that we or they are really good and that by being good enough we can save ourselves. As my dad often said and preached when he was still with us, such a thought is a devils deceiving lie.
Let us remember that God's thoughts are much higher than our thoughts and God's ways are far higher than our ways. Even as high as heaven is from earth, so are God's ways higher than our ways. None of us in the flesh can honestly say we are good like God for until you are light in whom there is no darkness at all not even the smallest speck, then YOU ARE NOT GOOD according to Jesus' high standard.
Friends when God judges the world in the future, He will be comparing and judging us according to HIS MOST HIGH WAYS, not according to man's deprived level of thinking. Whereever there is a speck, a spot, a wrinkle, or a blemish of sin or of darkness, we are tainted meat unfit to be called GOOD BY GOD. Since God cannot call us good, and yet we think we are really good, we are deceived. THERE IS NO ONE GOOD BUT GOD.
Now also in saying that there is NO ONE GOOD BUT GOD, Jesus was prepping us all for our great need of the blood of His Cross, and of HIS ATONING SACRIFICE. He did not die in vain (Galations 2:21)
Some time later in our text above, Jesus said some other needful light. He told us about a camel and the eye of a needle. After Jesus said that it is easier for a camel to fit thru the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God, Jesus took that opportunity (Being the wisest teacher ever) to lay down an unbreakable foundational scripture to make clear to us all an absolute doctrine of Christ truth. This truth was to be exalted and upheld unto all generations by all the elders of God's Church until the end of the age would come. Thru this doctrinal truths constant upholding and by the understanding of that doctrine of Christ, WE ALL WOULD FLEE INTO CHRIST.
The disciples hearing that it is easier for a camel to go thru the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God, these words astonished Peter, James, John and all the disciples. In their concern they cried, "Lord who then can be saved"?
Now what Jesus said IN RESPONSE TO THEIR QUESTION lays all the arguments to rest about how we are saved. The mouth of God himself spoke these words and as we learned earlier IT IS ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE FOR GOD TO LIE. Jesus answered the disciples saying this; He said, WITH MAN IT IS IMPOSSIBLE. Mans is stripped again by the Master Himself of any self dependence to save his own soul. What Jesus said reveals that man is in a lot more trouble than he can naturally reason or understand or get himself by himself out of. Jesus was revealing that man is in such a legal snare against his soul by Satan and sin that for man to save himself, SUCH IS IMPOSSIBLE. Jesus was saying and revealing that no matter what men do or say or try to do on their own to save themselves IT WILL NOT HAPPEN. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE. Man on his own IS HELPLESS AND WITHOUT STRENGTH TO SAVE HIMSELF.
When we become settled in our hearts about what Jesus was revealing to us all in these words, that it was impossible for us to save ourselves, we finally, realizing that none of us are good according to God's measuring sticks and that there is nothing that we can do to save ourselves, it is then we can finally ENTER INTO THE REST that He came to give us thru faith in His Ransoming Blood. For after Christ revealed to us clearly that no man can save himself and that such is impossible for any of us to do, we find Christ bringing in the NEW HOPE that could. And that NEW HOPE comes from these following words. For though it was IMPOSSIBLE for man to save himself, he did not leave us hopeless. Jesus said, YET ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WITH GOD. And when you accept Christ you accept God whom salvation is possible only by.
Man was helpless. No one was good but God. Even those we called the nice people they did not fit the requirements for God to called them GOOD. The rich young ruler wanted to know what he could do to be saved. Jesus revealed in our text that there was nothing any man could do to save himself. SUCH WAS IMPOSSIBLE. BUT ALL THINGS JESUS SAID, WAS POSSIBLE WITH GOD. We Needed God to do it. We needed God to make His move from heaven for man on the earth and He did that when the Word became flesh (John 1:1-14).
Church, let us not kid or deceive ourselves. Even the sweetest of us are still NOT GODS GOOD when compared to HIS PERFECT LIGHT. Jesus that cannot lie said so. So we all bow our knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ and thank God for doing what we could not do for ourselves. He saved us BY THE SACRIFICE OF HIMSELF. Jesus died for our sins and rose again for our justification by faith.......deno.......share freely.

Man on his own IS HELPLESS AND WITHOUT STRENGTH TO SAVE HIMSELF.
When we become settled in our hearts about what Jesus was revealing to us all in these words, that it was impossible for us to save ourselves, we finally, realizing that none of us are good according to God's measuring sticks and that there is nothing that we can do to save ourselves, it is then we can finally ENTER INTO THE REST that He came to give us thru faith in His Ransoming Blood. For after Christ revealed to us clearly that no man can save himself and that such is impossible for any of us to do, we find Christ bringing in the NEW HOPE that could. And that NEW HOPE comes from these following words. For though it was IMPOSSIBLE for man to save himself, he did not leave us hopeless. Jesus said, YET ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WITH GOD. And when you accept Christ you accept God whom salvation is possible only by.
Man was helpless. No one was good but God. Even those we called the nice people they did not fit the requirements for God to called them GOOD. The rich young ruler wanted to know what he could do to be saved. Jesus revealed in our text that there was nothing any man could do to save himself. SUCH WAS IMPOSSIBLE. BUT ALL THINGS JESUS SAID, WAS POSSIBLE WITH GOD. We Needed God to do it. We needed God to make His move from heaven for man on the earth and He did that when the Word became flesh (John 1:1-14).
Church, let us not kid or deceive ourselves. Even the sweetest of us are still NOT GODS GOOD when compared to HIS PERFECT LIGHT. Jesus that cannot lie said so. So we all bow our knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ and thank God for doing what we could not do for ourselves. He saved us BY THE SACRIFICE OF HIMSELF. Jesus died for our sins and rose again for our justification by faith.......deno.......share freely.
