A Little Iniquity

Greetings in the name of Jesus! This is Rob Haymes. This is 15 Minutes With Jesus. Wherever two or three are gathered together in My name, Jesus said, there am I in the midst of them. To those of you who love Him in truth: mercy unto you and peace and love be multiplied. (Jude 1:2)

Amen! Thank you Lord Jesus! Thank you Heavenly Father! We thank you for this day; we thank you that your Word is the truth. Lord, I pray that you would give us ears to hear and hearts to receive your Word this day, by the Holy Spirit, Amen.

Today’s program is called, A Little Iniquity. I heard someone say, in a dream one time, as we were in a conversation about the things of God, It’s good to have a little iniquity in your life.  I heard another person ask me one time, Don’t you have a little mischief in your life? It’s good to have a little mischief in your life. Really? What are we really talking about here? How much iniquity or mischief is good? How much is too much? Where do you draw the line? Do you really believe that you can draw a line with God: how much sin and iniquity you can willfully practice, and it is acceptable with Him: a little lying; a little fornication; a little hatred; a little slander; a little stealing? I’m here to tell you, you cannot possibly know where to draw such a line. Why? Because God has already drawn the line. It’s clearly written in His Word: the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus. Rom 3:23, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed. He that commits sin, or practices sin, Jesus said, is the slave of sin, and the slave does not abide in the house forever. The Son abides forever, therefore, if the Son shall make you free, you shall be free indeed. Through grace you have been saved through faith; faith in His sacrifice of Himself upon the Cross for your sins, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God. God gave His Son for all of your sins. He suffered willfully a brutal death and the shedding of His Blood to pay the full price for your redemption from your slavery; your bondage to sin, that, through your repentance and faith in that sacrifice, and in His resurrection from the dead, you might be justified before God, and you might inherit eternal life with Him in His glory.  

Heb 10:26,  For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries. And you’re going to draw the line? Really? Let’s consider what the Apostle John said in 1 John 1:1-9, That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of life— the life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare to you that eternal life which was with the Father and was manifested to us—that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ. And these things we write to you that your joy may be full. This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If you are walking in any darkness at all, and you think that you are in fellowship with God, you are deceived, and that darkness has blinded your eyes. Verse 7, But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. Chapter 2, If we sin, or when we sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous; the Man who suffered so much for us, and gave Himself for all our sins upon that Cross. This is the line.

In the light of all of this, will you confess it? Will you repent and turn to God with all your heart? Or will you keep it and stay in darkness because you love your evil deeds? John 3:19, Jesus said, And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.

Let’s turn to 1 Peter 1:13,  Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance; but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, Be holy, for I am holy. And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one's work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear; knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. 

He indeed was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you who through Him believe in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God. Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart, having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the Word of God which lives and abides forever, 2 Peter 3:14,  Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless.

Let’s turn to Matthew chapter 7 and see what Jesus said. Verse 21, Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter the kingdom of Heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in Heaven. That thing that you are doing; that thing that you love, that you don’t want to give up: is it the will of the Father? Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name? And then I will declare to them, I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness! Verse 24, Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the Rock. 

Ok, let’s go to Revelation, chapter 20, verse 11, this is talking about the end: the final judgment, Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the Earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire. Your little iniquity is written in the books. The books are going to be opened on that day, and every man and every woman will be judged according to what is written in the books, according to their works. You say, Oh, that’s so severe! That’s right, it is severe. You need to get a revelation of what Jesus suffered for you: it was severe, to deliver you from these things that are destroying you and will cause you to perish eternally, if you do not repent and believe on Him. After all that Jesus and His Father have done for you, don’t you want to love Him and please Him and give yourself to Him completely?

Prophecy:

I am God Almighty. Those of you who are listening to My servant Rob this day, I want you to understand how much I love you. Please consider what I have done for you: how I gave My beloved Son, who was tempted in every way as you are, and never yielded; never sinned and was righteous before Me. Remember, I said, This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased, hear you Him. He pleased Me, and He offered Himself willfully, according to My will, to give Himself upon the Cross; to give His life; to suffer greatly on that Cross, and to be scourged, and to be tormented, for you; for your sins; to suffer for your sins and to shed His Blood to pay the full redemption for your sins. If you will turn from them, all of them; if you will repent and turn to Me and believe on Me; believe what I’ve done for you, you shall be saved!; you shall be delivered from them! I have paid the price through the sacrifice of My Son! Now turn to Me with all your heart and be free!, and enter into My Kingdom to be eternally with Me in joy and in My glory, says the Lord.
