THE FEARFUL SHALL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD

THE FEARFUL SHALL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

Rev 21:8
8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
KJV

Rev 21:8
8 "But cowards, unbelievers, the corrupt, murderers, the immoral, those who practice witchcraft, idol worshipers, and all liars—their fate is in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death."
Holy Bible, New Living Translation

I n my experience as a preacher and teacher of the word of life, I have come to see that so many do not know the criteria for having and not having a part in the kingdom of God.
We almost all believe that once you are born again, which again we do not understand, we are entitled to enter into the kingdom. The bible gives a lot of criteria that has to be met before you can partake in the first resurrection, and again, so many do not know that the resurrection has stages according to the effectual working of His grace in and over you which brings you to the unblemished bride of the lamb. This lack of compulsory knowledge, make men and women that would have strived to serve God in Holiness draw back into complacency, because we have believed once saved forever saved.

Rev 20:4-6
4 Then I saw thrones, and the people sitting on them had been given the authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony about Jesus and for proclaiming the word of God. They had not worshipped the beast or his statue, nor accepted his mark on their forehead or their hands. They all came to life again, and they reigned with Christ for a thousand years.
5 This is the first resurrection. (The rest of the dead did not come back to life until the thousand years had ended.)
6 Blessed and holy are those who share in the first resurrection. For them the second death holds no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him a thousand years.
Holy Bible, New Living Translation ®,

So there is a first and a second resurrection and one of the main criteria of elimination is fear.
I will use some bible points to explain this. Let us look back to the story were Christ left His disciples to go and pray and told them to meet Him on the other side. They got into the boat and a storm started, just like Christ went to heaven and expect us to meet Him on the other side but left us and the storms of life, tribulations, persecutions and afflictions rose against the movement of our boat to the other side.
The story itself has allegorical meaning. Jesus ascended the "mountain" to pray, or to make intercession for us (Heb. 7:25). Meanwhile, He sent the disciples ahead of Him into the coming storm. In other words, the disciples were sent into the world, where they would experience tribulation and persecution at the hand of the political and religious systems of the world. Then Jesus came to them in the middle of the lake, walking on the water. This signifies His position of authority over all the nations, for Revelation 17:15 says that the waters represent "peoples and multitudes and nations and tongues."
We see, then, that Peter's ability to walk on the same water shows that the overcomer's are to be given authority over the nations as well. The fact that Peter began to sink when he became afraid of the wind and the waves also shows us that his authority is based upon faith. He had to keep his eyes focused upon Jesus Christ, rather than upon the wind and the waves.

HERE IS A PRINCIPLE THAT CANNOT BE BROKEN, THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH, AND FEAR IS THE OPPOSITE OF FAITH.

Fear seems to disqualify people from being overcomer's. We also learn this from the laws of war in Deuteronomy 20:8
Deut 20:8
8 "Then the officers will also say, 'Is anyone here afraid or worried? If you are, you may go home before you frighten anyone else.'
Holy Bible, New Living Translation ®,

WHAOOO, FEAR IS CONTAGIOUS.

WE ARE THE LAST DAY ARMY AND THE FEARFUL WILL NOT BE ADMITTED TO GO INTO BATTLE, YOU MIGHT BE RECRUITED BUT YOU WILL BE DROPPED, JUST LIKE YOU CAN SEE THE KINGDOM BUT MIGHT NOT ENTER INTO IT.

From the story of Gideon, whose army was reduced considerably after the fearful were told to go home (Judges 7:3).
Judg 7:3
3 Therefore, tell the people, 'Whoever is timid or afraid may leave this mountain and go home.'" So 22,000 of them went home, leaving only 10,000 who were willing to fight.
Holy Bible, New Living Translation ®,

Once in the church, PEOPLE are then often taught to be afraid of listening to anyone other than their own denominational leaders or reading any books other than what is sanctioned by their own church. The leadership knows that people can be controlled through fear.

I HAVE A BIBLICAL SOLUTION, INSTEAD OF INSTILLING FEAR DISCIPLE THE PEOPLE, ONCE THEY MATURE IN THE TRUTH, THEY CANT BE CARRIED AWAY BY LIES AND THE WIND OF EVERY CUNNING DOCTRINES.

Fear of cults has probably kept more Christians in ignorance of the Word than any other factor. Many denominational leaders deliberately teach Christians to fear the wind and waves outside their denominational boat, thinking they are protecting their flock from danger. They assume that their denomination knows all the truth that is important. Going by that assumption, they try to prevent the people from learning anything beyond that level of truth. So in the guise of protecting the sheep, they build a wall around them that can easily turn into a prison wall. God will not allow that in the ministries He is about to release on earth for the last day work. NOTE THIS PROPERLY.

Fear may indeed motivate some to become Christians. Fear is also very effective in keeping people from dropping their church membership. But fear will not create overcomer's. Overcomer's are Christian believers who do not fear the wind and waves and are willing to walk through it and, like Peter, walk upon it in faith by focusing on the Lord. And the Lord God seek overcomer's.

FEAR WILL DISQUALIFY YOU FROM THE MEMBERSHIP OF THE LAST DAY ARMY WHICH THE LORD IS PRESENTLY GATHERING. SHALOM.
God bless you.
