“God’s promise is the “good news” that the Messiah was anointed to proclaim. Unfortunately, most Christians today seem to base their salvation upon their own will as they “decide” to follow Jesus and to be obedient to Him. They do not seem to believe that it is based, not on the will of man but of God (John 1:13). The result is that their salvation is based upon Old Covenant faith. They need an upgrade.”
Isaiah prophet of Salvation Book 9, chapter 1- Stephen Jones

It's Time For An Upgrade
It's time for an upgrade from the old covenant to the new.
It’s time for an upgrade to that which is true.
We as people of God have long lived a lie.
That our salvation is secured if only we try.
It’s time for an upgrade from what we believe.
Oh my dear church how you’ve been deceived.
It’s time to upgrade from the carnal ways of man.
And to learn from the father where you truly stand.
It’s time for an upgrade in our way of life.
From the chains of doom and destruction and all of the lies.
It’s time to understand the true good news of the kingdom.
That hell fire and brimstone is for a season.
It’s time for an upgrade. It’s time for the body of Christ to understand.
God loves you and will work with you right where you stand.
He will write His law on your heart and teach you His ways
He alone will change us through His amazing grace.
It’s time for an upgrade my friend.
Time to let God change you from within.
It's not done through hours of prayer
Or reading your Bible and professing to care.
Nor is it accomplished by going to church every Sunday.
And beating your flesh into submission the following Monday.
No, this upgrade will make you whole but not by your effort.
Only God in His work in you will make you live better
When we once and for all put aside all that we know.
And fall on our knees at his holy throne.
When we reach people out of God's love for their soul
Not out of fear of the big eternal hole
Yes, purchase your upgrade it’s not far off.
But wait the purchase was made that day on the cross.
Just let go and let Him shed you of the old person you are today.
And upgrade your life and thinking to his true way
