1 Reference Series Salvation Explained: Work out your salvation with fear and Trembling You need to work out your salvation for YOU Pierre Dungee, Author Version 1, Revision 1 Book 13 of Reference series

2 Warning This Book Is for Christians Only If you are NOT a Christian, Please put this book down. This book is not for you. 1

3 Salvation Explained: Work out your salvation with fear and trembling This section looks at the what we need to do to work out OUR salvation for OURSELVES. It is our responsibility to make sure that we are doing what the Lord Jesus Christ is having us do so we can make it into eternity. Jesus will point out and strip off those things that are not pleasing to Him and refine us so we are what He wants us to be. This article talks about this so you will know what to expect. 2

4 WARNING!!! We will warn you that what we are presenting is going against the doctrinal teachings of many denominations. Many are going to excouriate this site because we are not following their doctrine. Many times, the people who are going to say we are teaching ' a false gospel' would be the ones that say that they have read the bible from cover to cover multiple times and will claim to be the 'authority' on the bible because they did that. So, If you think we are full of it, that's fine. That is expected. Many will call this a 'works based salvation' doctrine, which in effect it is NOT. It is being obedient to The Lord Jesus Christ as we are showing that we love Him through our obedience to HIM, doing what He is asking US to do. Nobody is forcing you to believe anything, Christian, so settle down. It will be YOUR salvation on the line, so use this time you have to make your election SURE and work out YOUR salvation with fear and trembling by confirming it with the Lord Jesus Christ directly YOURSELF, since Jesus is going to be judging you when you die anyway. 3

5 Why did Jesus tell us to Work out our salvation with fear and trembling? In many churches, you are to just make a confession of faith and then believe that you are saved. What we are seeing here in our series on Salvation is that it takes a LOT more than just a confession to be ready for the Kingdom of God. make no mistake, Christian, that we are preparing for our eternity. Many people are caught up in the world, what it does, and what the President is doing. They are concerned about the congress, North Korea, and a host of other things. Jesus wants us to prepare for our time in eternity with Him, Christian. He is telling us what we need to work on and overcome so we can be with Him. Now, those who ascribe to the once saved, always saved doctrine will eschew this as being 'works'; We do not have a problem with that because it means that WE are doing something about OUR salvation. Throughout all of the books and articles we have posted on salvation, you can see that YOUR salvation is YOUR responsibility. If YOU do not do anything about YOUR salvation, it is YOUR problem, and your problem alone. Always remember that YOU will be judged ALONE, and the Lord Jesus Christ is going to see what you have done. Your WORKS will be weighed as well as what you have done with Him. Once Saved, Always Saved proponents make WORKS sound dirty. You had BETTER have some works, Christian, as they will be a part of the evaluation of you making it into the Kingdom of God during your judgment. The Lord Jesus Christ is going to see what fruit you have produced, and if you have not produced any fruit, you will be cut off and burned, as the scripture tells us. It takes work to produce fruit, Christian. In case you have missed it, here is the scripture we have referenced: John 15:1-6 - I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. 4

6 As you can plainly see, you have to PREPARE yourself for eternity. This is why the Lord Jesus Christ told us to work out our salvation with fear and trembling. We are to find out the things that are going to keep us from eternity and work on them so we can make it. It is all about US doing what is required so we will be able to enter into our rest. This is not just a 'belief'; it is something that you have to do physically. You have to physically strive against the devil; you have to physically move to do what the Lord Jesus Christ has told us to do ; You have to DO SOMETHING to further YOUR progression in the process of Salvation. This is the biggest impediment to Christians, as they are sitting there waiting for Jesus to do all of the work to save THEM. These are the ones that are shocked when Jesus tells them 'Go away, I never knew you, you worker of iniquity.' Why are they shocked? They never did ANYTHING that the Lord Jesus Christ has asked of them to prepare for THEIR time in eternity. Since they did nothing to prepare, the Lord will have no other choice but to send them away. They did not love Jesus enough to listen and obey Him, so Jesus is going to send those people to the one they love - the devil. This is the interesting thing about Salvation, Christian. Since every single one of us has free will, we can choose to go with Jesus or go with the devil. If we want to go with Jesus, we have to DO SOMETHING to go with Him. He will then, in turn, command us to do the things that He wants done. If we fail to do that, then the Lord Jesus Christ will have no choice but to send you to whom you are in allegiance to. If you will not repent of your sins, then you will go to where sin is allowed. It may be a little hotter than you think there, but that is where you will go. 5

7 People CHOOSE to go to Hell, Christian We have heard many people say that God sends people to hell. That is incorrect - people CHOOSE to go to hell. How do they choose? They choose hell by rejecting Jesus, and by rejecting Jesus, they reject His Father. If they reject the Lord of the Universe, then by default they CHOOSE the devil. Can you now see why the devil works so hard to get people to just sit there waiting for the Lord Jesus Christ to serve them when He will NOT do that? By convincing you that all you need to do is to 'believe', you will do nothing to further your salvation because you will figure that Jesus has it covered when it is YOU who are responsible for YOUR salvation. How many people have perished because of church doctrine? How many people wish they had a 2nd chance to get it right? How many people perished when they had Jesus right there to ask and to help and guide them but didn't because their 'church' said that all they had to do is believe? Jesus is now giving you, Christian, the chance to come to Him directly to get what you need for your salvation. He is reaching out to those of you who are in church, telling you to 'come out from amongst them, and be ye separate', and to gather with Him so He can teach and guide you to where He wants you to be. it takes YOU doing something so YOU can make it into the Kingdom of God. Here is the funny thing, Christian. Right now, the Lord Jesus Christ is basically giving you all of the information you need to prepare as He wants you so you will be READY for your judgment. He is not concerned about the Kardashians, not President Trump, or anything that is of the world. He is concerned about you, Christian, and He wants you to come to Him so He can Help you make it in. Let that sink in, Christian. 6

8 He wants to HELP YOU make it into His Kingdom. All you have to do is to ask Him to help you, and He will put you on the path of salvation that He wants you to be on. Will you ACCEPT Jesus' invitation, and do as He says, how He says, talking to Him and KNOWING Him, - or - will you REJECT His invitation by clinging onto Once Saved, Always Saved, and sit there and do nothing because you 'believe' you are already 'saved'? As with everything, Christian, you have a CHOICE to make. Choose wisely. 7

9 How do we work out our salvation? You have to understand, Christian, that you, by yourself, will NOT be able to save anything. Understand that you are NOT a god, nor can you become a god, as the devil likes to tell everyone. You have been created by Jesus for HIS pleasure; in other words, Jesus created you because He wanted to. Once you get that through your thick skull, everything else falls into place. Where the devil erred is when he decided that he wanted to be like the Most High God, Jesus' Father. As you can see, the devil was cut down to what he is today quick, fast and in a hurry. However, the devil is still making people believe that same lie that they can be gods themselves. You can see that many people, especially in the entertainment industry, are believing the lie and they are all perishing because of it. Now, if we heed Jesus' words, know that we are on the path to salvation, and that we have to work at the things that are NOT pleasing to the Lord Jesus Christ to get them resolved to His satisfaction. Always remember that Jesus is the FINAL authority for you to get into the Kingdom of God, Christian. What He says goes. So if He tells you that you need to stop smoking, you will stop smoking, as He will not allow that in His kingdom. This is an example of how we work out our salvation, Christian. We are always striving to be like Jesus. We are a part of the body of Christ, and if we are weak and sickly, we are going to be cut off from Jesus and burned. There is a parable that Jesus told about the vine and the branches (Look at John 15:1-6. We provided this so you will not have to fumble around looking for the scripture, and you are welcome). You will need to look at that parable VERY closely, Christian. Notice that the branch is a part of the vine, as it is grafted on. That means that the branch gets it's nutrients from the vine, and it will grow and produce fruit. If you are the branch, then you will grow and produce fruit for Jesus. 8

10 However, if you are grafted on the vine, and you start to wither on the vine, the husbandman will try and nurse the branch back to health. THIS is what Jesus is talking about, Christian, when He says to work out your salvation with fear (reverence) and trembling (awe, especially of Jesus' goodness for you). THIS is how you identify what is ailing you that Jesus wants you to fix. To drive this point home, let's look at a few things that a person can do to work out their salvation. Smoking Let's use the example again of a person who smokes. Jesus does not like that person destroying His temple (the body), so He is telling the person that they need to stop smoking. The person knows that they cannot do this on their own, so they ask Jesus to help them. Jesus says 'YES", He will help them, but He admonishes them that they must do exactly what He asks for them. They agree, and then Jesus tells them what He wants them to do. So what does that accomplish? First, the person who needs the help is talking to Jesus directly, and they have a relationship now because they are talking. The person will NOT forget the kindness of Jesus, as they have always wanted to stop smoking anyway. They are working TOGETHER - Jesus and the person - to help them stop smoking. How this is resolved is up to Jesus and the person. you see how Jesus is in the middle of everything and He directs everything for everyone? Having a Saviour who cares enough to help you individually shows the LOVE of that Saviour for you. All you have to do is to engage Him, talk to Him, and let Him know what you need. Let's look at another example. 9

11 High Blood Pressure This person has very high blood pressure. He is taking blood pressure pills, but it is making him gain a LOT of weight. His blood pressure is not under control, and he is now worse from the side effects of blood pressure medicine. The person reaches out to Jesus and says to Jesus, 'I do not want to take any more pills. Can you heal me?' Jesus says NO. Jesus then goes on to explain why He said no. Jesus says, 'I can heal you, but you will just be worse because you haven't tackled the underlying problem. Your problem is your eating, and you have high blood pressure because of the bad food you have been eating. I want you to change how you are eating, and I want you to exercise, as you sit and play video games all day.' The Lord goes on to say: 'I will help you through this. I want you to go and find a crossfit center that is near you and get a membership. I also want you to go to a holistic doctor who will teach you how to eat correctly. What I will do is to keep you from having a heart attack or a stroke IF you will eat differently and exercise.' This is an example of how a person works out their salvation. If that person died tomorrow, they would not be ready, as they have the sin of gluttony on them. By working with the people, Jesus will help them overcome the sin and defeat it. He will guide them to where they can get the good food they need, and then He will help them keep up with their exercise regimen to be where Jesus wants them to be. He will also monitor them and help them stay obedient to his plan for them so they can CHANGE how they were to what Jesus wants them to be. 10

12 You CAN cut side-covenants with the Lord Jesus Christ, Christian Now this is an example of How Jesus works, Christian. What you are seeing here is people are cutting side covenants with Jesus so that they can work on what Jesus wants them to work on. This is accepted and encouraged, Christian. There are many people who have issues like high blood pressure who solely rely on what 'they' say, which means that they will be taking pills the rest of their lives. Did they not know that they could have asked Jesus like the fellow in this example did? This is why people perish for a lack of knowledge, Christian. They could have asked Jesus if He could help them, but they don't, mostly because they did not know that they COULD ask for Help!! Why? They were never taught that at church. Many people are also afraid to ask Jesus or the Lord of Hosts to help them! You have to understand something about The Lord of Hosts, Jesus and the Holy Ghost - they respond to you if you obey and take their words seriously. For example, if you went the the Lord of Hosts and asked Him to help you, He would if you were a Child of the Living God. The Lord of Hosts says that He ALWAYS has time for His children. If you are a Disciple of Christ, that is YOU, Christian. Although it does not matter who helps you, you will get the help you need. Sometimes it will be the Holy Ghost (if you are filled with Him) who will help you. Since the Holy Ghost is always with you, He will do things for you and then let you know that it was Him after the fact. For example, if you inadvertently clicked onto a link that has hard core porn on it, the Holy Ghost may cause your computer to crash. We have seen situations where a person miscounted items in their grocery basket and the Holy Ghost made sure the register rang up the correct amount. There are a lot of things that the Holy Ghost will do for you to protect you, to admonish you, and to teach you. Not every healing is miraculous, Christian. That only happens if the Lord wills it. Many times, you have to go through a process of change to overcome an obstacle that you have encountered. when 11

13 you sit and DISCUSS these things with the Lord Jesus Christ, you will see the Love and the concern that the Godhead has for YOU, Christian. Notice that we used the word discuss, Christian. Let's see what discuss, means: verb (used with object) 1. to consider or examine by argument, comment, etc.; talk over or write about, especially to explore solutions; debate: It is time for you to sit and discuss things with Jesus, the Lord of Hosts and the Holy Ghost, Christian. If you have any issues in your life, they will sit with you and discuss things with you. This is something that you can do in your prayer closet, away from everyone and everything, and you will be amazed at what you will learn. This is all a part of working out your salvation, Christian. Think about it - you die, and you go into your rest - and there is Jesus, the Lord of Hosts, and the Holy Ghost - who are all FAMILIAR to you and with you. You know them and they know you. For eternity, you will be sitting at Jesus' feet, learning from Him; you will be in the throne room, sitting on the Lord of Hosts lap, as He sits with you and loves on you; you have the Holy Ghost, who may show you, if He wanted to, how He makes planets and solar systems. You have a wealth of information and wisdom all around you all the time. You have access to more information and wisdom NOW, but will you humble yourself enough to use that information, or will you be proud like the devil and walk away from it? Let's look at another issue. The overbearing husband Let's say that your husband is overbearing and makes the atmosphere in your home a living hell. He is mean, angry, always yells, and slaps you and your children around because he is just angry at everything. He is always complaining that you are too fat, and that you have to lose weight. He has cut off the food in the house because he feels that everyone is too fat and they need to go on a diet. Everyone is miserable, and you are at your wits end. Everyone around you - your sister, some friends, even your parents - want you to divorce this man because he is making everyone bitter and sick. You will not do so, because some catholic priest told you that of you divorced this man, you would go to hell. 12

14 So what do you do? In this case, Christian, you should go directly to Jesus and ask HIM what you should do. This is not a case we are able or willing to give ANY advice on, as we are not privy to all of the things going on in your household. However, Jesus is, and this is your ONLY hope. Notice how what that Catholic priest said to you is holding you up from seeking Jesus for your situation. So there you sit, Christian, in hell, not doing anything to get the help you need, because you are afraid of what a dresswearing priest said. This is the state that many Christians are in. Why will they NOT seek out Jesus and ask Him? Why will they just sit there and continue to take blows from a demonic inspired husband? Why will that person not do anything to help themselves? This is an example of how you are NOT working out your salvation. Here you see a situation where a man is terrorizing his family, and everyone just sits there. If that woman in the example knew who she was in Christ, she would go over the head of her husband to Jesus DIRECTLY and ask HIM to be her head, and then do exactly what Jesus tells her to do. We did an article on this, and you can see that here. To sum this up, working on YOUR salvation does the following things: It gives you access to Jesus so you will KNOW Him and He will know you It gives you time to identify issues that Jesus has with you It gives you time to work with the Holy Ghost to get you cleaned up and sanctified It gives you time to listen and hear what Jesus wants you to do It gives you time to do exactly what Jesus wants you to do It gives you time to perfect yourself for the Kingdom of God with Jesus' help and guidance It gives you time to build a relationship with Jesus as your Lord and Saviour that is eternal 13

15 We want you to compare, Christian, all of what we talked about with the once saved, always saved doctrine. When you put this up to the light, you will see how hollow and empty once saved, always saved is compared to how RICH it is to talk with and work with the Lord of the Universe. Would you just 'believe' or would you prefer to talk with Jesus and sit with Him? Would you just sit and think you are eternally saved without asking Jesus anything or would you prefer Jesus to be interactive with you throughout your walk on the earth? Would you just sit and wait for Jesus to do everything for you or would you prefer to GO and do what the Lord Jesus Christ tells you to do dynamically? Would you just sit and take the devil slapping you around or would you rather get the authority and weapons you need to stomp the doodie out of the devil? It is always your choice, Christian. What purpose does working on your salvation serve? The short answer, Christian, is that it serves YOU. It gets YOU ready for eternity. You would have worked on yourself to get all of the sin off of you, and to prepare yourself for eternity. It is a lot like going to school, studying to be a doctor. You give up a lot of time and energy to have the knowledge and the practicum you need to be a doctor. You give up time hanging out with your friends; you spend a lot of time reading and absorbing what you need so you will know anatomy, various systems in the body and how they are supposed to work. You toil long hours during residency before you become a doctor that has hospital privileges so you can make a living being a doctor, and you are handsomely rewarded for your efforts when you are a doctor. How many years of study, struggle, and sacrifice do you give up to be a doctor? Do you just 'believe' you are a doctor and sit there, thinking that all of that knowledge will be absorbed by you without you having to do anything? 14

16 No. That is silly. You go out and do what it takes to pass your boards to be licensed as a doctor. The Kingdom of God is a lot like that, Christian. You have to put in the time, the sweat, the tears, the effort, the energy and have enough fortitude to finish the salvation process. Nobody would go to a 'doctor' who just 'believed' they are a doctor, would they? They would go to a doctor who had the correct credentials that show that they are qualified to be a doctor. You are working on your credentials to be accepted into the Kingdom of God, Christian. As with working towards being a doctor, you are putting in the time, the blood, the sweat, the tears, and the energy so you will have the credentials to make it into your rest in the Kingdom of God. So, what are these credentials that we are talking about? Your credentials are you being filled with the Holy Ghost, for one. You are also known personally by Jesus, the Lord of Hosts and the Holy Ghost because you have spent time with them, walked with them, cried with them, and gone through with them. You are deemed worthy of the Kingdom of God because you did what it takes to get into the Kingdom of God. Jesus has weighed your works; He has seen you work to get all of that worldly sin off of you, and He has even given you His authority to do the WORKS that He wants you to do. That's right, Christian. You are eligible for more authority that Jesus will personally give you if He deems you worthy. When it is all said and done, Christian, will you have the right credentials to make it into the Kingdom of God? It would be wise for you to go to Jesus directly and find out where you stand with Him. Let Jesus point out the things that He sees that He does not like in you that He wants you to change. 15

17 Have you ever had this explained to you in this manner? Now you have a basis where you can sit with Jesus and talk about YOU and what He wants for you. Now you know what He is going to take you through. You will be able to get rid of all of the worldly issues you have, plus you will be able to get rid of the things that the devil was using to bind you. Take this time today to ask the Lord Jesus Christ about what He wants you to nail to your cross so you can die to it and be backfilled with His spirit. So, Christian, we will challenge you to do this - Go to Jesus directly RIGHT NOW and ask Him if what is shown here is true. Use this as a means to start a conversation with The Lord Jesus Christ and sit with Him and ask Him questions. Start with (asking out loud): Jesus, is what I just read true? He will answer you, Christian, and NOW you will be on the true road to salvation, knowing for SURE if you are going to make it or not, as Jesus would have told you. Keep talking with Him. Get to know Him and He will start to reveal Himself to you. You need to find out for yourself and work out YOUR salvation for YOU, as the scriptures tell us to. Take heed, Christian, and don't just blow this off. What is being presented here is IMPORTANT!! Read and understand what the Lord Jesus Christ is saying to all of us. As we always say, do not take anything we say as the gospel; ALWAYS confirm what you are reading or hearing by running it by the Lord Jesus Christ yourself. Keep talking to Jesus and He will respond to you. Have Him explain WHY what is being said is true. Talk with the Lord Jesus Christ and get to know Him personally. 16

18 Get into the FIGHT After you have gotten right with the Lord and secured your household, you can continue your service to the Lord by getting into the fight. You already have experience casting out devils, and standing up to Jezebel; you are fiercely defending your household against all threats and you have overcome them. Your household is in order; you family is in order; there is peace in your household, and all defiling elements have been dealt with for now. So what do you do? Stay in the fight!! You have already made a reputation for yourself and the demons will leave you alone because you have stood up to them! I ll give you an example of a household that has fought this fight. The Granger household consists of a husband and a wife with no children (yet). The husband has battled with Jezebel, who manifested in his wife, and after a few battles, Jezebel is leaving the husband and the wife alone. Although Jezebel grumbles that the husband is too smug for her tastes, and she wants to cut off his balls and stuff them down his throat, she is all talk because she has no stomach to fight this man anymore for his household. THAT is where you want to be, Christian. The husband has had to teach his wife about casting out demons and how to defend herself against attacks by using her Recompensatory prayers, which she has used to beat off the offenders. The wife, now emboldened because she has seen her husband deal with the demons that plagued her, was afraid at first; now, she is, in her own words, folding the demons like a cheap suit and stuffing them into a trash can. The wife overcame ALL fear of the demons that have plagued her since she was a child and now she is exerting HER authority as a member of a household that is in order and a marriage that is in order. You see, when there is order, there is POWER, and the devil and his cohorts only recognize power. Do they have more power than you? You have an advocate in Jesus, as He will grant you the power and authority you need to continue the fight. Do what he tells you to do, and He will grant you the power you need plus more, if He feels you are worthy of it. You do not have to be a preacher, or an apostle, or a bishop to continue the fight against the devil. You can take on roles that are important that you can comfortably do. As always, take this to the Lord and ask Him directly what you can do for Him. 17

19 Become a martyr Another type of person who plays a role in the fight is one of a martyr. So what is a martyr? A martyr is defined as: 1. a person who willingly suffers death rather than renounce his or her religion. 2. a person who is put to death or endures great suffering on behalf of any belief, principle, or cause: 3. a person who undergoes severe or constant suffering: In the Bible, a martyr is defined as a witness. You may say that a martyr is one that will give up his/her life for others willingly even if they get killed in the process. I would say that a martyr is akin to the Marines, as they storm the beaches and assault the enemy. The martyr corps will be the ones that will go back into the cities to rescue trapped saints of God when the devil cuts off all means of being able to escape when things collapse. The martyrs are the ones that will assault the devil face to face, using weapons they have been specially trained to use. The martyrs know the score when they volunteer, and they are aware that every mission that they are sent on may be their last mission. They know that they can get killed at any time, and are willing to go where others are afraid to tread. In the bible, most martyrs are killed by the enemy, but not before the martyrs inflict heavy damage to the devil s forces. The first martyr we read about is Stephen, and an account of his martyrdom is found in Acts Chapters 6 and 7. You can read about him in your own study time. Notice how Jesus not only let Stephen get killed, as he was after Saul, who recorded this in Acts 22:20, but Stephen was a man who had great power and was full of the Holy Ghost (Acts 6:8). What did Stephen do that caused him to be brought up on charges that cost him his life? He proclaimed the gospel, healed the sick and cast out devils as Jesus has asked all of his disciples to do. This is what I meant by being on the front lines. Stephen was unafraid to go and do the work that Jesus had for his disciples which was to confront the devil and use extreme prejudice to get those who the Lord wants out from the enslavement of the devil with POWER. He went into the belly of the beast unafraid and alone, and look what it took to bring him down. I personally like Stephen and what he did. Stephen is the prototype of what a martyr will and can do. If Stephen alone did such a good job that the devil had to kill him, what do you think a whole corps of martyrs will do? The devil so despised Stephen, he had him arrested on trumped up charges. During the trial, Stephen was so full of the Holy Ghost, that he actually glowed (Acts 6:15). I don t know about you, but THAT is the way I want to go when my time is up. Never mind the cowering bit; I want to step up to the devil boldly, stomp his guts out, shake the dust off my feet and then stomp his guts out again, just for good measure. 18

20 If you were ever in the military, and you have gone through the training, you would be a good fit for this job (even if you did not serve in the military, the Lord could use you if you ask Him). Not only will you get to fight the enemy face to face, hand to hand, up close and personal, you have a commander in Chief that is The Lord of Lords and King of Kings, and he does NOT forget the things that His Martyr corps does, unlike the armed services in America or wherever you are from. The martyr corps is the best of the best and full of the Holy Ghost. The devil most fears the martyr corps because of the power they have in Christ. How do I know that the devil fears the martyr corps? It is because the devil does not hesitate to kill them. You can see all throughout the book of Acts and Revelation that the martyrs are the ones that are killed. Why? The devil cannot stand up to the power that they have, so to save himself and his piddly little kingdom, the devil has them killed. The martyrs walk in and destroy the devil s kingdom, nuking everything and laying it to waste. The devil cannot stop them using his usual trickery, so he has them killed, usually by confederates who are religious. In Revelations, you can see that the Harlot drinks the blood of the saints and the martyrs (Revelation 17:6). Why did the Lord make a distinction between the saints and the martyrs? It looks to me like the martyrs were more of a threat, as they normally destroy everything in sight that is demonic. Notice it is the Harlot, or the religious church, that is killing these people. We saw that in Stephen s time, and we will see it again during the end times. Not everyone is cut out to be a martyr, but you can always ask Jesus to put you in His martyr corps or wherever He feels you would fit the best. If you like impossible missions against impossible odds, this is the place for you. As I said before, to all of the people who were in the military that were sent to hellholes like Afghanistan and Iraq, this is the place for you. Get on your knees and ask and beg the Lord Jesus to clean you up for service. Ask him to train you in all of the weapons that are available to the martyr corps so you will be productive. Ask Jesus to clean you up so you are off of all of the chems that the armed services give their members who are not useful to them anymore until they are discharged. If you do this, your PTSD will subside; you will also be able to get the blood of those you killed in the name of the military off of your hands so you will have peace. You can then get your payback against the devil who was using you to bring over his hordes of demons to this realm using the death or sacrifice(s) of those you killed for the military, who care nothing about you. Look at the VA and then tell me I am wrong. The people you were fighting for has the military protect their pipelines and poppy fields so they can enslave more people with their drugs, and then they give you a medal for your service, even if you got hurt or injured during your service. This is a DIRTY deal that many have taken because that is the only deal they can get. If you are going to fight, fight for a TRUE cause and kingdom. Ask Jesus to allow you into His corps. 19

This book has been broken up into parts and those parts are also books that you can download for FREE so you can study the parts and get a better understanding of what the Lord is trying to tell you. As was mentioned before, this book is freely given to all who want it. This was done on purpose, Christian, so you will be able to get what you need when you need it. Better yet, you can download the portion you have questions on and ask the Lord yourself what this means. As I stated before, the Lord if Hosts Himself has commissioned these books so you will get the unfiltered truth, and not a truth coloured by denomination, or seminary teaching, or by a scholarly look. The language was pretty blunt in this book, and that will continue in all of the books you can download freely. Remember, the Lord of Hosts has sanctioned these books for YOUR edification, warts and all. What we will do is to ask for a free-will offering to be given to the author for his time and energy to write this book, which is as follows: 2 Corinthians 9:7 - Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. If this book has been a blessing to you, then give an offering if you feel led to by the Lord of Hosts. If you do not want to give anything, that s fine too. I am NOT selling my books, Christian; I am giving them away as the Lord of Hosts has directed me. The content of my books are not copyrighted, so you may go ahead and freely use what you have read, as all of this is in your Bible. Also, you are encouraged to make as many copies as you need or want to make to share with as many people as possible. I strongly encourage you to download as many copies of the books that are available on our website as you can. The downloads are free. If you want to send the author a message, you can send as many s as you want, as s are free as well. You may send a letter if you so desire to the mailing address below. I strongly encourage you to download the books, as that is free. If you want a hard copy, please find a friend of a loved one who can help you download what you need and print it out for you. I am NOT selling books or selling the gospel. The Lord of Hosts made it clear that the books should be available to everyone at NO cost. For those of you who want to argue about the content of the book don t waste your breath or your time. If you don t like the book, or the language, then delete the book and go about your business. Since I didn t sell the book to you, what do you care? Go somewhere. I am pleasing the Lord of Hosts, not you. 20

22 Take it to the Lord As always, I encourage you to take what you have read and seek out the Lord of Hosts, or The Lord Jesus Christ, or the Holy Ghost and sit them down and ask if this is for real or not. Use these books to get closer to the Lord Jesus Christ, and start to reason with Him. The books are constantly revised and there is new content that is added to our website. If you want to be alerted when we add new books, you may sign up for out alerting service by adding your address. We can then send you an when something new is posted. As a Disciple of Christ, it has been my pleasure serving You, Christian As a Christian man who is a Disciple of The Lord Jesus Christ, it has been my pleasure serving the Lord of Hosts and you with these books. It is my sincere prayer that He would edify you and open your eyes to what is going on around you. Some of what you have read comes from the Holy Ghost and/or the Lord of Hosts directly. They want you, Christian, to seek them out, reason with them and be free in Christ. Our Website: If you want to be on the list for when there are updates to the website, you may us at: alerts@getyouranswersonline.com If you have any feedback, positive or negative, you can them to: feedback@getyouranswersonline.com Please note that we will post some of the feedback on the website. We will post both positive and negative feedback, as you will be edified by both. We know that the negative feedback may be doctrinal differences, so that is expected as we endeavor to break through that and get people to go to The Lord Jesus Christ directly to get answers. Any profane s will be discarded. Profane s are boorish and rude. If you have any request for prayers or topics that we have not covered, or if you want us to revisit a topic in the past, your requests to: requests@getyouranswersonline.com If you have any questions about this book, Please us and we will answer the questions as best as we can.

23 If you want to send us a letter, address it to the book title, and mail to: P.O. Box Columbus, OH Know that we will just ignore and throw away profane letters.

If you do send us a letter, please enclose an address so we can respond to you directly. We prefer to respond via e- mail, as there is no postage cost.

It is your choice to send any letters in any form you may choose. Feel free to use the form below if it fits your needs. You may copy the forms as much as you may need to. I want to stress that we are NOT a church, nor are we a ministry, and we do not want to be either. All we are saying is that you, Christian, should take what you read from these books you can freely download and bring these topics up to the Lord Jesus Christ Himself and get your verification of what is being presented. It will be up to you to talk directly to Jesus personally and get the understanding of the things you have read from Jesus directly. Many of the topics that are brought up should be taught in the Churches so you will know the Lord Jesus Christ and be ready for when things get a little hot down here on earth. If your church is not teaching you how to be in Order or how to stay in Order, get out of there and go to the Lord Jesus Christ directly and get him to send you the Holy Ghost so you can be properly taught. Being in Order is where the power is, Christian, and you need the Power of the Lord Jesus Christ to defeat the devil and free your family and yourself. Do not waste 30+ years of your life getting beat down by the devil when you can stand against him. 22
