โ YOUR GOOD WORKS WILL NOT SAVE YOU
If anyone teaches you a worksโbased false gospelโโanother gospelโโsuch as a Lordship Salvationist or a Calvinist, do not believe them or their false message, which offers no salvation.
โ For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.2 Corinthians 11:4
Beware of false teachers; mark and avoid both them and their false messages.
โ Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. Romans 16:17
Romans 11:6 clearly states that salvation is by God's grace. You cannot add works to graceโotherwise, grace is of no effect.
โ And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work. Romans 11:6
Godโs free gift of salvation by His graceโunmerited favorโis through simple faith in Jesus Christ, not by ANY human effort, so that no one can boast in their good works.
โ For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. Ephesians 2:8-9
โถ๏ธ Grace: Godโs unmerited love and kindness, not our worth.
โถ๏ธ Faith: Belief in Jesus Christ, not works/personal achievements.
โถ๏ธ Gift: Salvation is free (Rom 6:23).
โถ๏ธ Purpose: Excludes boasting, placing all glory on God.
The Apostle Paul received the Gospelโthe good newsโdirectly from Jesus Christ.
โ Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: 1 Corinthians 15:1-4
Jesus Christ shed His blood on the cross for the remission of your sin (past, present, and future).
โ In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; Ephesians 1:7
By simply believing in the Saviour Jesus Christโthe Son of God, God in the fleshโand what He did for you on the cross, God promises you everlasting life!
โ Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. John 5:24
โ And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 1 John 5:11
When you place your trust solely in Jesus Christ, you are indwelt by the Holy Spirit and born again. You receive the new manโa new nature that is righteous and holy in Godโs eyes through Jesus Christ, and you are victorious over sin.
โ And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. Ephesians 4:23-24
โ For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. 1 John 5:4
If you are now born again, you should do good works for God's glory!
โ To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. Ephesians 1:6
โ Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. John 15:8
Doing good works for God's glory brings heavenly blessings and rewards!
โ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: Ephesians 1:3
โ And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward. Matthew 10:42
Amen!๐

๐ Romans chapter 5 provides positive proof that Godโs graceโTHE FREE GIFT of lifeโand His declaration of justification assure the everlasting life of the righteous in Jesus Christ.
Thus, being born again, justified by Godโs grace, and declared righteous has nothing to do with human effort; works save no one.
Scripture makes it clear that salvation is a gift of God given freely by Godโs grace that we receive when we put our faith in Jesus Christ as our Saviour.
โ For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 not of works, lest any man should boast. Ephesians 2:8-9
An example of men boasting before the Lord Jesus is given in Matthew 7.
โ 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. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Matthew 7:21-23
This verse is often given by false teachers to get their brethren to examine whether they are living or behaving in a certain way as evidence of salvation, but itโs actually scripture against false teachers because God says that no one will be boasting in heaven, and these had not done the will of the Father, which is to believe on the Sonโs work in paying for our sinโhis death, burial and resurrection as full payment for our sin.
Religions teach that the way a person lives will grant them heaven one day, but this is a lie of Satan.
The false teachers in Christendom who deny Christโs all sufficiency death as payment for all of our sin, are teaching an accursed gospel that steals the glory from off of Christ.
โ I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: 7 which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. Galatians 1:6-9
Just like the serpent in the Garden of Eden made Eve question Godโs word in that she could know the knowledge of good and evil and be as god, Satan today makes people question Godโs plan of salvation through grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, and call it cheap grace or easy believism.
They speak evil of the simple truth of salvation and make it difficult to attain by adding a multitude of works. They make it sound holy and pious, but in denying Christโs finished work as full forgiveness for their sins, they call God a liar. These false teachers are everywhere.
โ But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. 2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. 2 Peter 2:1-2
God bestowed his amazing kindness toward us in sending his Son to die for our sins.
โ Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 1 John 4:10
Only Jesus Christ saves to have eternal life. We cannot.
โ These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. 1 John 5:13

I have to elaborate a little on the lady of whom I shared the poem "The Outcast" yesterday. I found out Vicki Baird is a spiritual formation coach, poet and gnostic Christian. My only reason for sharing her poem was because I'm one of those outcasts of society. That's the only reason why I shared the poem. Also because I'm a poet myself. However: I wanted to warn people to not follow people who are into contemplative prayer, spiritual formation and other non-biblical and unbiblically sound doctrines.
May you liked that poem I shared yesterday so much that you thought about checking out more work of miss Baird, I'd love to advise you not to. Stick to God's word instead. Have a very blessed day ๐๐ฝ๐
Ps: if you do want to look into what she does, check out a post about it I will share later today

He used to be this chatty little kid who narrated everything he drew. "Mom look this is a dragon but a nice one, mom look this knight has your eyes." Now the house is so quiet I can hear the clock in the hallway from any room. His dad left when things got hard, said he couldn't handle the silence. So it's just me and Marcus and his pencils and this stack of paper I buy in bulk every two weeks because he goes through it like water.
Last week he slid this portrait across the kitchen table to me while I was paying bills. I looked down and my hands started shaking. This boy, this kid they said had no talent, drew a portrait so detailed I could practically feel the texture of the braids in the hair. The shading on the face, the eyes, everything was alive. He's eleven. He did this with a set of pencils and nothing else. I just held it and cried right there at the table and he came over and put his hand on my shoulder which is his way of saying it's okay mom.
I set up a little shop on the Tedooo app selling prints of his work because I wanted him to see that people out there value what he creates. No fees, just his art out in the world. The first order came in three days later and I showed him the notification on my phone. He didn't smile exactly, but he sat up straighter. Then a woman from Tennessee messaged through the Tedooo app asking if he could do a custom portrait of her late mother from a photo. I read it to him and he nodded yes before I even finished the sentence.
He still doesn't talk. I'm not going to wrap this up in some neat little bow and pretend art fixed everything. But my boy picks up his pencil every single morning now with purpose, not just escape. Those kids told him he was nothing. The world is slowly telling him otherwise and I will spend every day I have left making sure he hears it.

We The Kingdom - Rescue Me (Acoustic)
Wednesday โ February 18, 2026โ ๏ธ แแชแกฮแฮแ โ ๏ธ
What I today learned when looking into who the lady is that wrote the poem "The Outcast" [link] that I shared yesterday and am sharing with you in truth, that a dear friend helped me see and I'm now passing on, is the following...
๐ธ๏ธ Who is Vicki Baird?
A spiritual formation coach who calls herself an Intuitive Coach on her website* where she offers group coaching sessions and individual coaching sessions.
Vicki Baird is the owner of Wisdom-Led Mindset Coaching, a company where Ms. Baird teaches women how to practice spiritual formation/contemplative prayer and how to "empower" themselves.
๐ธ๏ธ Should Vicki Baird be avoided?
Yes. And here below I will provide a few examples of quoted texts to show you her work and why it must be avoided.
"Together we recognize mental habits as patterns, not identities, reduce self-doubt without bypassing reality, strengthen trusting your thinking and inner guidance."
"You don't need to become someone else to trust yourself."
"I help intuitive women stay self-led under pressure."
"I've been supporting women for over two decades. First through intuitive readings, and then through coaching grounded in both mental fitness and intuitive discernment."
"Today, my work blends practical mindset tools..."
Notice how many terms are used that show zero focus on God or Jesus Christ and how He is replaced by "me" โ or in this case "self" by showing a one hundred percent focus on the "I"-persona.
Since Vicki Baird is a wisdom-led mindset coach, and on her website even a Positive Intelligence expert, rather than primarily identifying as a medium, she truthfully is one. Even though it now carries a few very fancy terms. While she has over 20 years of experience and previously provided intuitive readings, her current work focuses on helping women develop their own intuition, mental fitness, and self-trust. Again: all misleading information that isn't rooted in God's Word, contrary to what was implied by miss Baird herself.

Let's dive a little deeper. What is spiritual formation?

๐ธ๏ธ What is spiritual formation?
Spiritual formation in Christianity is a movement that is characterized by contemplative prayer, contemplative spirituality and mysticism.
One author described it as a movement that has provided a platform and channel through which contemplative prayer has entered the church. In almost every case it has been used to make people more Christ-like. However: when you are well-rooted in the word of God, you don't even need spiritual formation to become more like Jesus Christ. So why it was used to make people more Christ-like absolutely doesn't make sense to me. Because the origin of spiritual formation is โ unlike standard internet searches want to imply โ at itself a movement to avoid.
Spiritual formation is a belief system that uses ancient mystical practices like channeling and divination to induce altered states of consciousness (simular to New Age) like practicing silence known as stillness, or being still by emptying the mind of all thoughts โ which is rooted in mysticism and the occult, but just like New Thought is wrapped in Christian terminology. New Thought itself is New Age doctrine that's been dipped in a Christian lingo-sauce.
*lingo means language
๐ธ๏ธ So why should we avoid spiritual formation?
The answer is extremely easy: we cannot serve two masters. Holy Scripture is very clear on this in
God's Word is also VERY CLEAR on practices like divination (and channeling spirits). We can read about it in

๐ธ๏ธ So why should we avoid spiritual formation?
The answer is extremely easy: we cannot serve two masters. Holy Scripture is very clear on this in
Matthew 6:24: "No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon."God's Word is also VERY CLEAR on practices like divination (and channeling spirits). We can read about it in
Deuteronomy 18:10-12 and Leviticus 19:26-31 in the Old Testament. So my question is: why would you go against God's will for you if you claim to love Him? Let that also be a question you'll ask yourself. And: Do you truly love God and if so, do you love Him enough to die to yourself and what you want, to pick up your cross daily and follow Him by doing what God wants you to do or to not do? Let this final question sink in well. And let it also show you where you need to grow in your faith and how.โซ๏ธ
Deuteronomy 18:10-12 | KJB ๐ยนโฐ There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch.
ยนยน Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
ยนยฒ For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord: and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee.
โซ๏ธ
Leviticus 19:26-31 | KJB ๐ยฒโถ Ye shall not eat any thing with the blood: neither shall ye use enchantment, nor observe times.
ยฒโท Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard.
ยฒโธ Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the Lord.
ยฒโน Do not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be a whore; lest the land fall to whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness.
ยณโฐ Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the Lord.
ยณยน Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the Lord your God.

๐จ THE GREAT FALLING AWAY
Why would Jesus Christ say, โwhen the Son of Man cometh, shall he find faith on earth?โ (Luke 18:8).
The last days will not find faith all over the earth. They will be days of apostasy. Our Lord has already told us it will be like the days of Noah, where people turn a deaf ear of the warnings from God. So many professing Christians will have departed from the faith by the time Jesus Christ returns.
โ Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;โ 2 Thess. 2:3
Look at the sheer number of false prophets and teachers around the world. Look at the number of unbiblical traditions, movements, associations, and practices that have crept into churches around the world.

โ Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!โIsaiah 5:20
โ Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.โ2 Timothy 2:19
โ But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; 18 How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. 19 These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit. 20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, 21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. 22 And of some have compassion, making a difference: 23 And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. 24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, 25 To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen. Jude 1:17-25
