Why Call Me Lord, Lord and Do Not The Things I Say? In Light of "Christians" Supporting (Willingly or Ignorantly) the American Left's Godless Agenda

Dear friends; in light of the many "professing Christians" who supported and voted for the godless, lawless, hyper-licentious, Marxist American Left's agenda fronted by Joe Biden; which couldn't be more polar opposite to sound Biblical teaching in RIGHTEOUSNESS and the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Character of Almighty God (Isa. 5:20); I want to challenge you to be sure that you truly know the Lord Jesus Christ as the Holy Scriptures teach in RIGHTEOUSNESS and in an ETERNAL saving biblical way presented by the ETERNAL Spirit of God (John 1:12; 3:3-7-21; 4:25; Acts 4:12; 16:28-31; Rom. 3:23; 6:23; 10:2-4; Eph. 2:1-9; Rev. 3:20; 22:11)! To others who profess the Jesus Christ as their ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Savior; who may have blindly just voted for such an evil godless agenda and demonic platform in full stupidity; my dear friends, wake up and get your head in the game! You are or may be ETERNALLY disconnected from the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS One and need to be rightly abiding in the ETERNAL Living One (Matt. 7:21-23; John 3:19-21; John 15:1-8; 2 Cor. 13:5; Rev. 3:14-22)! Below is one of the most sobering poems ever written for those of profess to know Christ in RIGHTEOUSNESS but deny Him in their works and lifestyle. May we all take heed and search our hearts in light of the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS mirror of Almighty and see if we are truly ETERNALLY in the faith or not!

Why call Me Lord, Lord and do not the things I say?

You call Me the Way and walk Me not!
You call Me the Life and live Me not!
You call Me Master and obey Me not!
You call Me Bread and eat Me not!
You call Me Truth and believe Me not!
You call Me Lord and serve Me not!
If I condemn you blame Me not.

Geoffrey O’Hara

Not every one that saith unto me Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many shall come to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Thy name? And in Thy name cast out devils? and in Thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I NEVER KNEW YOU; DEPART FROM ME YE THAT WORK INIQUITY.
(Matthew 7:21-23)

And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?

(Luke 6:46)

"If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.

(John 14:15)

He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

(John 14:21)

Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

(John 14:23)

Happy Thanksgiving from The Ignorant Fishermen Blog!

Beloved, Greetings in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ! Who is the TRUE source for ALL Heavenly blessings here on earth and in Heaven above (Eph. 1:3)!

As we celebrate this time of Thanksgiving we are very mindful of many things. We are thankful for our loved ones, a measure of health and a sound mind. We are thankful for the earthly blessings and liberties that we possess as Americans. We are thankful for those who have shed their blood on our nation's behalf which have preserved our freedoms and liberties. We are thankful for the vision and labor of our Founding Fathers which steadfast sought to provide its posterity with a nation and constitution that we may enjoy our unalienable rights as human beings. We are thankful to those who labor for the Lord on our behalf, who challenge us and encourage us in the ETERNAL truths and promises of Almighty God.

In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you! (1 Thess. 5:18).

But most of all we are thankful for Almighty God our Father for so loving us that He sent His only begotten Son on our behalf (John 3:16-17), that we may be redeemed, forgiven, received, adopted and made righteous in the Person and work of Jesus Christ (Rom. 10:4, 1 Cor. 1:30).

We are truly thankful that we are still able to worship Almighty God in spirit and truth here in America and that we still have a measure of time left to get out His saving message to a dying and condemned world. We rejoice that Christ is coming again very soon and that this fallen world is NOT our home. We have a glorious future forevermore with our Savior and Lord in perfect RIGHTEOUSNESS in Almighty God's ETERNAL day (1 Cor. 2:9, Rev. 22:5).

May this Thanksgiving be a great blessing to you all! We indeed have much to be thankful for (Phil. 4:4)!

Beloved, The Kingdom of Heaven is truly at hand!

What is TRUE THANKSGIVING? Today Are You Truly Thankful in RIGHTEOUSNESS?

One of the most impossible acts for an unregenerate individual to do is to thank Almighty God in RIGHTEOUSNESS and since the majority of humanity rejects Almighty God's RIGHTEOUSNESS, how many billions of individuals are truly thankful to their ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS CREATOR for His mercy and goodness to each one of us (Psalm 14, Rom.1:18-32; 10:2-4; 1 John 4:10)?

Are you truly thankful in the RIGHTEOUSNESS of Almighty God?

It's easy to "praise" Almighty God and thank Him when everything seems to be going "our" way (Prov.14:.12). Apart from a saving relationship to Almighty God in RIGHTEOUSNESS (John 3:16-17; 1 John 4:10).; we see this hypocrisy all the time expressed and redefined in the unthankful unregenerate hearts of fallen humanity. Some examples of this expressed unrighteous thanksgiving to God are found in the sports world, Hollywood, politics or in general life (Isa. 5:20). I don't doubt that many are truly "thankful" in their hearts and minds but not in RIGHTEOUSNESS and that is where the great deception lies (Prov. 14:12;  John 3:19-20; Eph. 2:1-2; Rev. 11:7-12).

True thanksgiving begins when one enters into a saving relationship with Jesus Christ in RIGHTEOUSNESS!

This Thanksgiving are you truly thankful to Almighty God in RIGHTEOUSNESS or have you established your own altered world along with your own altered world of thanksgiving?

True thanksgiving begins when one enters into a saving relationship with Jesus Christ in RIGHTEOUSNESS (John 1:12; 1 Cor. 1:28-30; 1 John 4:10). From then on true thanksgiving in RIGHTEOUSNESS will truly become a way of life and harmony with our ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS CREATOR until we are with Him FOREVERMORE (Psalm 107:1-2; Rom. 7:24-25; 2 Cor. 2:14; 9:15; Gal. 5:22-23; 1 Thes. 5:18)! It will be then in ETERNITY that PERFECT RIGHTEOUS THANKSGIVING will be expressed with ALL ETERNAL UNSPEAKABLE JOY (Rev. 22:1-5)!!

Give THANKS to the Lord for His mercy endures FOREVER!

What a great NEVER ENDING blessed ETERNAL hope with THANKSGIVING for the redeemed child of Almighty God to possess in such lawless and godless days!

The Kingdom of God is truly at hand!

Governor Bradford's First Thanksgiving Proclamation!

Governor Bradford of Massachusetts made this first Thanksgiving Proclamation three years after the Pilgrims settled at Plymouth:

"Inasmuch as the great Father has given us this year an abundant harvest of Indian corn, wheat, peas, beans, squashes, and garden vegetables, and has made the forests to abound with game and the sea with fish and clams, and inasmuch as He has protected us from the ravages of the savages, has spared us from pestilence and disease, has granted us freedom to worship God according to the dictates of our own conscience.
.

In everything give thanks; for this is the will of  God in Christ Jesus concerning you! 1 Thes. 5:18

Now I, your magistrate, do proclaim that all ye Pilgrims, with your wives and ye little ones, do gather at ye meeting house, on ye hill, between the hours of 9 and 12 in the daytime, on Thursday, November 29th, of the year of our Lord one thousand six hundred and twenty three and the third year since ye Pilgrims landed on ye Pilgrim Rock, there to listen to ye pastor and render thanksgiving to ye Almighty God for all His blessings."

Only a Believing Remnant in America that is Still Truly Thankful to Almighty God!

My dear friends, one can only be truly thankful to Almighty God in RIGHTEOUSNESS; anything outside of that is absolute demonic folly.  In light of our nation's unthankfulness to Almighty God, godlessness, abounding moral relativistic thinking, and secularism; there is still a remnant (Isa. 1:4-9) throughout this nation today that still chooses to follow Almighty God and know His Son as their personal Savior as the Holy Scriptures so clearly teaches (John 1:12). This remnant is truly thankful daily for all that Almighty God has provided for them (in time and in ETERNITY) and they are found throughout all the social classes today in America (1 Cor. 10:31).

  Throughout this nation today there is a remnant that still chooses to follow Almighty God and know His Son as their personal Savior as the Holy Scriptures so simply teaches.

The risen Christ's light shines forth through them and they shine as lights in an ever-growing darker world, a world and a system which despises, abhors and hates ETERNAL light and RIGHTEOUSNESS more and more every day (Isa. 58:8, Prov. 4:18, Matt. 5:15-15, John 8:12, Eph. 5:8, 1 Thess. 5:5, Rev. 21:21-23). Tragically, these little lights today are America's outcasts, rejected and scoffed at by the political parties of today, Hollywood, the media, social media and by millions of this godless nation. UNTHANKFULNESS has engulfed our nation and it has taken its toll on our society and culture. Even is such a day and hour we have much my beloved to be thankful for to Almighty God, for His greatest promises are yet to be (1 John 3:1-3, Rev. 21-22:1-5)! Thanksgiving Day is the norm for the child of Almighty God who desires His perfect will for their lives and fully appreciates the Savior’s ETERNAL LOVE (Col. 3:16, Phil. 4:4, 1 Thes. 5:18).

 Thanksgiving Day is the norm for the child of Almighty God who desires His perfect will for their lives and fully appreciates the Savior’s ETERNAL LOVE.

Paul warned us what would be the climate of the Last Days and we are fully there as a nation and as a world.

As Paul stated;

“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth." (2 Tim. 3:1-7)

.
In light of our day, may God's people always be thankful and understanding that this fallen world is not our home. That wondrous TRUTH in its self should cause us to rejoice greatly and to be ALWAYS thankful to our Heavenly Father!

.
The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

George Washington's 1789 Thanksgiving Proclamation

Whereas it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor; and Whereas both Houses of Congress have, by their joint committee, requested me to "recommend to the people of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer, to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness:"
. 
Now, therefore, I do recommend and assign Thursday, the 26th day of November next, to be devoted by the people of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being who is the beneficent author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be; that we may then all unite in rendering unto Him our sincere and humble thanks for His kind care and protection of the people of this country previous to their becoming a nation; for the signal and manifold mercies and the favorable interpositions of His providence in the course and conclusion of the late war; for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty which we have since enjoyed; for the peaceable and rational manner in which we have been enable to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national one now lately instituted for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed, and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and, in general, for all the great and various favors which He has been pleased to confer upon us.

And also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech Him to pardon our national and other transgressions; to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually; to render our National Government a blessing to all the people by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed; to protect and guide all sovereigns and nations (especially such as have shown kindness to us), and to bless them with good governments, peace, and concord; to promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the increase of science among them and us; and, generally to grant unto all mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as He alone knows to be best.

Given under my hand, at the city of New York, the 3d day of October, A.D. 1789.

Can You Still be Personally Thankful in Today's Unthankful America?

Beloved, Greetings in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ! Who is the TRUE source for ALL Heavenly blessings here on earth and in Heaven above (Eph. 1:3)!

I would like to ask us all this very serious question in light of Thanksgiving 2023 here in America; Can we be truly thankful in our hearts as we celebrate this time of Thanksgiving in light of our EXPONENTIAL national implosion and deterioration? Are we thankful in rightness for our loved ones, a measure of health, and a sound mind? Are we are thankful for the earthly blessings and liberties that we still possess as Americans? Are we thankful for those who have shed their blood on our nation's behalf which have preserved our freedoms and liberties up to now? Are we thankful for the vision and labor of our Founding Fathers which steadfastly sought to provide its posterity with a nation and constitution that we may enjoy our inalienable rights as human beings? Are we thankful to those who labor for the Lord on our behalf, who challenge us and encourage us in the ETERNAL truths and promises of Almighty God? Bottom line my dear friends, are we truly thankful for the littlest of blessings in the light of such evil sobering days? Thanksgiving is one of the most powerful blessings from Almighty God for it is by being thankful that we fully are grateful to the One where ALL ETERNAL provisions and blessings flow!

In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you! (1 Thess. 5:18).

The absolute key to a thankful heart in whatever time period or season one lives in is ONLY found in Jesus Christ and in His RIGHTEOUSNESS! In Jesus is found ALL forgiveness, pardon, hope, promises, RIGHTEOUSNESS, and ETERNAL LIFE for the child who has trusted in Him for ETERNAL SALVATION in RIGHTEOUSNESS! For us who are; Are we truly thankful for Almighty God our Heavenly Father for so loving us that He sent His only begotten Son on our behalf (John 3:16-17), that we may be redeemed, forgiven, received, adopted, and made RIGHTEOUS in the Person and work of Jesus Christ (Rom. 10:4, 1 Cor. 1:30)?

Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice!

Are we truly thankful in light of our day that we are still able to worship Almighty God in Spirit and TRUTH here in America and that we still have a measure of time left to get out His ETERNAL saving Gospel message to a lost, dying, and condemned world? Beloved, are we truly rejoicing that the Lord Jesus is coming again very soon and that this fallen world is NOT our ETERNAL home? Beloved, we have a glorious ETERNAL hope and future with our ETERNAL Savior and Lord in perfect RIGHTEOUSNESS in Almighty God's perfect ETERNAL day (1 Cor. 2:9, Rev. 22:5)! That truly is the fire that burns in our belly and the thanksgiving of heart that keeps us fresh and joyful as we walk this pilgrim journey (Phil. 4:4)! For indeed, this world is truly NOT our home, we are truly just passing through! See the ETERNAL in Christ Jesus, be His faithful ambassador and light in such days, and give thanks to the ETERNAL LORD of life in ALL THINGS (Col. 3:1-4, 1 Thess. 5:16-18)!

May this Thanksgiving be a great blessing to you all! We indeed have much to be thankful for (Phil. 4:4)!

Beloved, The Kingdom of Heaven is truly at hand!
