1 Jan 4:1
Mezanmi, nou pa bezwen kwè tout moun k'ap di yo gen Lespri Bondye a. Men, se pou n' sonde yo pou nou wè si lespri yo genyen an soti nan Bondye vre. Paske, gen yon bann fo pwofèt ki gaye toupatou sou latè a.

2 Jan 1:9-11
9 Si yon moun pa kenbe sa Kris la te moutre nou an 
[doctrine li a], si li al pi lwen, li pa gen Bondye. Moun ki kenbe sa Kris la te moutre a [doctrine li a], se li menm ki gen Papa a ak Pitit la. 10 Si yon moun vin jwenn nou pou l' moutre nou yon lòt bagay [yon lòt doctrine], pa resevwa l' lakay nou. Ata bonjou pou nou refize di li. 11 Paske, depi ou di yon moun konsa bonjou, ou dekonplis ak li nan tout move bagay l'ap fè yo.

2 Timote 3:1-5
1 Mete sa byen nan tèt ou: nan dènye jou yo, tan an pral difisil anpil. 2 Moun pral fè rayisab, y'ap renmen lajan, y'ap fè grandizè, lògèy ap vire tèt yo, y'ap pale Bondye mal, y'ap dezobeyi papa ak manman yo, y'ap engra, y'ap san okenn respè pou bagay Bondye. 3 Kè yo ap di, y'ap san pitye, y'ap pale moun mal, y'ap fè gwo kòlè, y'ap brital. Yo p'ap vle wè sa ki byen menm. 4 Y'a mòde an trèt, y'a fè kòlè fasil, lògèy va gonfle lestonmak yo. Y'ap pito plezi pase sèvis Bondye. 5 Y'ap fè tankou y'ap sèvi Bondye. Men, yo pa kwè nan pouvwa Bondye a tout bon vre. Pa mele ak moun konsa menm.

2 Korent 6:14-17
14 Pa mete tèt nou ansanm ak moun ki pa gen konfyans nan Kris la: Se pa sosyete konsa ki bon pou nou. Ki jan nou ta vle wè sa pou bagay ki bon, bagay ki dwat, mele ak bagay ki mal? Ki jan pou limyè ta ka mache ak fènwa? 15 Kouman Kris la ta ka antann li ak Satan? Osinon, kisa yon moun ki kwè gen pou wè ansanm ak moun ki pa kwè? 16 Kisa kay Bondye a gen pou wè ak zidòl? Nou se kay Bondye vivan an, pa vre? Se Bondye menm ki di sa: M'a vin rete, m'a viv nan mitan yo. M'a tounen Bondye yo, y'a tounen pèp mwen. 17 Se poutèt sa, Bondye te di nou: Soti nan mitan moun sa yo. Pa mele ak yo. Pa manyen anyen nou pa dwe manyen. Lè sa a, mwen menm, m'a resevwa nou.



Tèt ansanm nan erè ak konpwomi, sa pa yon siy sanktifikasyon (viv apa pou Bondye, jan l vle l la).


Hébreux 12:14
Recherchez la paix avec tous, et la sanctification, sans laquelle personne ne verra le Seigneur.
Ebre 12:14
Chache viv ak kè poze ak tout moun. Mennen yon lavi apa pou Bondye. Si se pa sa, pa gen moun k'ap wè Seyè a.


Donn yon pyebwa bay pa bay manti sou ki pyebwa li ye:

Lik 6:43-45
43 Yon bon pyebwa pa bay move donn, ni yon move pyebwa pa bay bon donn. 44 Yo rekonèt kalite yon pyebwa sou donn li bay. Yo pa keyi fig frans sou pye rakèt, ni yo pa rekòlte rezen sou tout vye lyann. 45 Yon nonm ki bon, se bon bagay li rale soti nan kè li ki bon. Yon nonm ki mechan, se move bagay li rale soti nan kè li ki move. Paske, sak nan kè yon nonm, se sak soti nan bouch li.

35:28 « Jodi a m garanti w nan legliz la, nou se yon legliz de pécheurs, non pas yon legliz de saints et de saintes. » - Réginald Jean-Mary

Sa se vre, men se yon manman pwoblèm li ye tou. Mesaje a pa di pawòl la kòmsi se te yon pwoblèm menm. Men se pou sen yo Jezi ap retounen. Li te vini premye fwa a pou tout pechè yo epi li kite mesaj pou yo sou sa yo dwe fè. Mesaj saa se levanjil ki dwe preche a pou sove moun soti anba esklavaj peche (Jan 8:31-36). Li mande tout pechè pou yo tounen vin jwenn Bondye epi change lavi yo (konvèti). Lè yon moun ki te yon pechè konvèti, li pa rete menm sa li te ye a. Li pa rete yon pechè, yon moun kap fè sa ki mal, yon moun kè l pa kòrèk devan Bondye. Sèvitè Bondye yo pa pote non pechè nan bib la. Yo se "moun kap mache dwat devan Bondye" ("justes"), "moun kap viv apa pou Bondye" ("saints").

38:16 « Maten tankou aswè, met ajenou. Priye pou peyi w, priye pou fanmi w, priye pou moun ki en difficulté. Parce que la prière des justes, yo rive wo kot Bondye. » - Réginald Jean-Mary

Ann gade pawòl la:
Jacques 5:16b
La prière fervente du juste a une grande efficace.
Jak 5:16b
Lè yon moun ap viv dwat devan Bondye, lapriyè moun sa a gen anpil pouvwa.

1 Pierre 3:12
Car les yeux du Seigneur sont sur les justes Et ses oreilles sont attentives à leur prière, Mais la face du Seigneur est contre ceux qui font le mal.
1 Pyè 3:12
Paske, Bondye veye sou moun k'ap mache dwat devan li. Li tande yo lè y'ap lapriyè nan pye l'. Men, l'ap vire do bay moun k'ap fè sa ki mal.*
* = pechè


Jean 9:31
Nous savons que Dieu n'exauce point les pécheurs; mais, si quelqu'un l'honore et fait sa volonté, c'est celui-là qu'il exauce.
Jan 9:31
Nou tout nou konnen sa: Bondye pa tande lè se yon moun k'ap fè sa ki mal ki pale avè li. Men, se pa menm bagay lè se yon moun ki respekte l', yon moun ki fè volonte l' k'ap pale avè li.

Kòm mesaje a fin di moun lap pale ak yo a se pa saints ak saintes yo ye, men se pécheurs yo ye, sa vle di lapriyè lap egzòte yo pou lapriyè a deja pap bay okenn rezilta toutotan moun sa yo pa "juste" jan pawòl Bondye a di l la. Se lapriyè "justes" yo ki rive wo kot Bondye. Fòk pécheurs yo konvèti pou Bondye ka gade yo kòm "justes", ki vle di, moun kap mache dwat devan li. Fòk pawòl levanjil Jezi a preche ba yo jan li ye a (Lik 20:21), pou si yo resevwa l, transfòmasyon Bondye vle opere nan yo a ka fèt, pou yo vin gen yon relasyon pèsonèl ak Bondye jan li vle genyen l ak yo a.

You Cannot Be Unborn

This is a response to Charles Stanley's answer about whether a person who was once saved and who is then living a life of sin can lose his/her salvation [video: "AskDr.Stanley; Can I Be Saved? Then Backslide And Lose My Salvation? (5Min dvd.wmv)"; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5HhFqUFFxU ].1 He argues that a person cannot be unborn to make his point that a person who was saved cannot be lost again (no longer be saved).

Argument: you cannot be "unborn" (again)

Anyone who is alive can die. If being saved means being brought to spiritual life (Ephesians 2:1-7; John 5:24; 1 John 3:14), then those who have experienced the new birth, which is the first resurrection, can die if they go back to sinning (Hebrews 6:4-6, Hebrew 10:26). That's because the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23).

These were written to people who were born again so they knew the consequences of not walking in the Spirit:

Galatians 5:19-21
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, impurity, licentiousness, 20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, strife, jealousy, wrath, selfishness, divisions, heresies, 21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revelings, and such like: of which I tell you beforehand, as I have also told you in time past, that they who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

Romans 8:12-13
12 Therefore, brethren,* we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. 13 For if you live according to the flesh, you shall die: but if you through the Spirit do put to death the deeds of the body, you shall live.


*brothers and sisters IN CHRIST

Suffer The Cross To Overcome Addictions

When you do what Jesus says, you will have victory with Him:

Mark 8:34
When He had called the people to himself, with his disciples also, He said to them, “Whoever desires to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

When you deny yourself and take up your cross to follow Jesus, you cannot at the same time follow after sin. So, you will refuse to give in to a temptation; you will suffer in your flesh. But if you are willing to deny your flesh and suffer with the help of God, you will see his deliverance. You have to count not sinning (offending God) as more precious than avoiding pain and diving into sin. That’s a self-sacrifice you would make out of love for God because you want to please Him and no longer serve/please yourself and your flesh and continue to sin (1 Peter 4:1-3, Romans 6:16).

The key to victory is true repentance. This is what fuels the addiction: constant surrender to temptations to sin (therefore surrender to the devil to do his will - 2 Timothy 2:26) rather than surrender to God to do his will. It’s an idol you have in your heart, something you value more than God. It's up to you to make a choice and act according to the choice you have made to serve God rather than to serve your “self” and go on sinning. And the results will follow according to God's promise: "Draw near to God and He will draw near to you..." (James 4:8).

James 1:12
Blessed is the man who endures temptation, for when he has been tested, he will receive a crown of life, which Go
d has promised to those who love him.

Luke 6:46-49
46 "Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do the things which I say? 47 Everyone who comes to me, and hears my words, and does them, I will show you who he is like. 48 He is like someone building a house, who dug and went deep, and laid a foundation on the rock. When a flood arose, the stream broke against that house, and could not shake it, because it had been well built. 49 But he who hears, and does not do, is like someone who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream broke, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great."

John 14:15
If you love me, keep my commandments.

1 John 5:3
For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome.

1 Peter 4:1-2

1 Forasmuch then as Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind; for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin; 2 that you no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh for human desires, but for the will of God.

You have to show God that you are serious and that you trust Him to help you when you have made the decision to stop sinning no matter what comes your way. You need to have the faith to face the unknown with God when you stand your ground and refuse to give in to the temptation, even when it is very strong and you’re at your wit’s end. Focus on Jesus and expect his help. That’s how the rubber of your faith hits the road to freedom from your addiction. Believe that Jesus will come and rescue you, and by his grace He will give you power to be an overcomer and not be overcome.

Prayer  Only Is Not The Answer.
You also need to be doing what God expects you to be doing. Your deliverance is not going to come suddenly from just praying for deliverance (either your own prayers or the prayers of other people for you). You have to be fighting, too. Have you ever resisted doing something you knew was a sin, and it was hard and you still stood fighting and in the end, you did not commit the sin? If you have done that once, then you can do it again. You can do it every time you are tempted to sin. But if you never resisted the devil so that you would not sin, you are not showing to God that you really want to be done with sin. You are not showing to God that you have faith in Him bringing you to a new life where you are no longer struggling with sin. So, prayers won't be answered if your attitude is wrong about sin and about not sinning (Isaiah 59:1-2, 1 Peter 3:12). But if you are fighting, God will strengthen you and you will be stronger for every new fight until you are overcoming sin and not struggling any more. That's the plan and you need to keep it in mind. Listen to this video below a few times attentively and make notes on how you can start fighting. Your love for God is key.

Evil Desires and the Pride of Life

1 Corinthians 10:6
Now these things became examples for us, so that we will not desire evil things as they did.

Please listen to this post here if that's easier than reading it:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/hpuxsm8t7gjiau8/Evil%20desires%20and%20the%20pride%20of%20life.mp3

Sometimes, God may need to "reset" you so you don't go and destroy yourself. We are warned against the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life (1 John 2:15-17) being opposed to having the love of the Father. If you walk in a way that these things can become snares to you and hinder your walk, God will prevent it if you belong to Him. He has many ways to slow you down as you go down a wrong path and one of them is that he will "zero" you out. By that I mean that he will humble you through some circumstances, He will bring you to something you will most definitely call "hitting rock bottom", so that you will remember that you should cling to Him and have Him first in your life and know that he is your "everything." Because the whole world is busy preaching something else to you to remove your focus from Him. That is the world we live in. It is a system that is essentially opposed to God and his ways. Satan is called "the god of this world" who blinds the minds of those who don't believe the Gospel (2 Corinthians 4:4). So, Jesus let his disciples know that they were aliens in this world because they no longer belonged to it or followed its values once they came to belong to Him, and the consequences followed:

John 15:18-19
18 If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you. 19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world, since I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

Remark that the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life spoken of in 1 John 2:15-17 are the same things that made Eve sin:

Genesis 3:6
And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food (lust/desire of the flesh), and that it was pleasant to the eyes (lust/desire of the eyes), and a tree to be desired to make one wise* (pride of life), she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

*The devil had told her "your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil." (Genesis 3:5) But He left out the part where God said that they will surely die! (And she forgot it, too! And Adam forgot it likewise!)

Genesis 2:16-17
16 The LORD God commanded the man, saying, “From any tree of the garden you may eat freely; 17 but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die.

So, don't think yourself more wise than the first man and woman, because the devil is busy preaching the same thing to all of us, albeit in very different ways than in the garden. But you will be blessed to take some time and look into your life and ask God to reveal to you if there is any area where you are driven by the desires of your flesh, the desires of your eyes and the pride of life.

The pride of life is a quite broad concept and it's tricky, too, because it has so many expressions, yet can remain hidden. It has to do with what you want to be or are proud to be or to do or to have (and keep) in this world. It has to do also with what you want to be known for; it sets you on a course to "gain the whole world" in your own way and lose your soul in the end (Mark 8:35-36). All things that drive you to find "treasures" in them rather then store treasures in heaven that will last forever are fueling the pride of life in you (Matthew 6:19-20). It's my life, my way, etc. It's not humility and submission to God that your life is founded on. But it's standing on a foundation that you have built and that won't stand (that's the bottom line). Because in all things you are not seeking first the kingdom of God and his righteousness (Matthew 6:33).

If you were seeking first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, then God would also fill you with what you actually need (Matthew 6:33). But instead, you go after the seemingly good deals of the devil for you in this world. So, your focus is on those things you think you need, and your hopes and dreams day in and day out are on them. You are short-sighted necessarily because your focus is on passing things. If your focus were on God, then eternity would be in your heart and you would devote all of your being to being on the way to it. You would walk on that difficult way to eternal life with God's graced working in your life (Matthew 7:13-14, Titus 2:11-14). So, things are out of order in your life just because God does not have first place in your heart. And what it takes is a strong resolve to fix that. Imagine parents working so many hours that their children are neglected. Can they work to fix that when they realize their mistakes? Yes, they can. And the solution may include painful sacrifices. The same goes for fixing things up with God. It only takes a firm commitment to pursue after God his way, no matter the cost!

Are the things you pursue self-centered or God-centered? Are you led to praise God or to praise yourself? Do you tend to draw attention to God and his kingdom or to yourself and your accomplishments? Seek to be sure of those things in your life one way or the other. Make corrections that are needed of strengthen your walk in the direction that's pleasing to God and you will be blessed. Keep your relationship with God pure. Remain unstained from the world (James 1:27). Being saved is also to have escaped the corruption that is in the world because of lust (evil desires) (2 Peter 1:4).

James 1:13-15
13 Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one. 14 But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. 15 Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death.

Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

So, the only way Satan gets someone to sin and to be bound in sin is through that person's own evil desires that he or she keeps acting upon, instead of keeping on living in submission to God moment by moment out of a humble heart (emptied of pride) that is ready to obey God out of love. Be careful. Pride is dangerous and pride is deadly. Pride breeds rebellion that got Satan thrown out of heaven where he was an angel at the service of God. So, no one can make it into heaven with rebellion that brings sin as evil desires get acted upon. But submission to God is required to enter heaven. We are called to pass from disobedience to obedience to God, and that's the key to passing from death in sin to the new life in Jesus Christ (Romans 6:4, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Ephesians 2:1-9, Titus 3:3-7).

Luke 9:23
He said to all, "If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow me.

John 14:15
If you love me, keep my commandments.

1 John 5:3
For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome.

1 John 2:4
The one who says, "I have come to know Him," yet doesn't keep His commands, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

James 4:4-10
4 You adulterers and adulteresses, do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore whoever wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. 5 Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, "The Spirit which he made to dwell in us yearns jealously"? 6 But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble. 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9 Lament, mourn, and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to gloom. 10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he will exalt you.

May Jesus bless you!
