BEFORE YOU GET INTO THIS STORY, I suggest you go to my May 11, 2023 posting entitled PURE FIX. It truly is a diametrically opposed stance. You are either with God or against Him: there is no other option. I’m all about loving God, sharing His Word, and proclaiming endlessly the joy of the Lord is your strength.

Hence, my website is named: www.joyeternalministries.com. Believe it or not, God gave me this ministry title. I want Him to get the glory: and I want more glory for Him than He is receiving. Therefore, this article is a challelnge to all you who don’t want to pursue a relationship with the God who created your inmost being: spirit, soul, and body. If y ou don’t believe that now, or years from now, you will…

Selah.

THE FAKE FIX: what is it? Not one thing can be fixed or healed or forgiven except through a relationship to Him who loved you (and everyone else) before the foundations of the world:

 

GOD’S CHILDREN
are only those who are in covenant with the God of the Bible; the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit:

Ephesians 1:3-14
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will—to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace  that he lavished on us. With all wisdom and understanding,  he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ,  to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.

In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory.  And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit,  who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory.

 

Because I am decidedly writing to people who refuse to be in covenant with God, I want to warn you – His Word, His only written Word – is the Bible. No other book is written by God Almighty. He is the Author and the Creator of life; of all creations:

 

 

THE BIBLE
is the only God-breathed Book, written by God, not men:

1 Thessalonians 2:13
And we also thank God continually because, when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but as it actually is, the word of God, which is at work in you who believe.

 

2 Peter 1:20-21
Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation of things. For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by  the Holy Spirit.

 

2 Timothy 3:16-17
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

 

Hebrews 12:2
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

 

Acts 3:15-16
You killed the author of life, but God raised him from the dead. We are witnesses of this. By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know was made strong. It is Jesus’ name and the faith that comes through him that has completely healed him, as you can all see.

 

John 1:1-5
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning.  Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.  The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

 

DON’T SETTLE FOR THE FAKE ‘FIX’!
Get the real thing and hold fast now until forever!

 

Revelation 12:11
They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.
