Dancing on the Defeated Devil’s Grave! Get some! Now!

BARELY GETTING ALONG OR FLOURISHING, THRIVING IN THE RESURRECTION POWER OF JESUS CHRIST? (Romans 8:11-14; 2 Corinthians 4:10-12)

Who’s ready for a satanic slap down? (Acts 10:38; 1 John 3:8)

The cross of Christ and the one He commanded you to take up daily is our weapon against Satan and his unholy minions! Jesus defeated Satan by dying and so shall we as we follow our LORD Jesus (Colossians 2:14-19; Hebrews 2:14).

The cross gets us out of the way so that relationship for which God created us can flourish (John 17:3; Philippians 3:10).

The cross life crucifies, runs roughshod over the “old man” which is “put off” by the cross and so that the “new man” is “put on”, manifests, rises above, which is the resurrection life of Christ in His crucified and buried saints (2 Corinthians 4:10-12).

“…new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.”

“But ye have not so learned Christ; 21 If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: 22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; 23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; 24  And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.” Ephesians 4:20-24

Dominating sin and satan only comes to those willing to die and be buried “with Christ.” (Romans 6; Galatians 2:20) The result is His glorious resurrection in their lives and consequent victory over sin and satan!

IS JESUS not the Answer? Yes He is….. let’s give the world around us that answer to man’s core dilemma – sin! Jesus is the only Solution!

It’s the stated will of God that we walk in His victory – in the victory He provided through Christ.

“But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” 1 Corinthians 15:57

One can vainly attempt to change his life by changing his thinking and never get delivered. A changed life requires God’s grace through Christ and true repentance, obedience, and the daily cross. Romans 12:1-2. WHAT comes first?

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God (absolute repentance), which is your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” Romans 12:1-2

Your heart must be changed and only God Himself can do that. He desires and will make that complete change in those who humble themselves before Him and truly repent – lay down their life, door nail dead.

In the scope of past, present, and future history – HIS-story – nothing is over till Jesus wins!

“For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. 26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. … 57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” 1 Corinthians 15:25-26, 57

Jesus Informed us that We have an Enemy!

CAN YOU relate? OFTEN the Holy Spirit prompts my heart to always remember that the real battle rages in the Spirit and not the flesh (Ephesians 6:12). Memory truth:

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Ephesians 6:12

Jesus informs us that it’s Satan who has come “to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.” (John 10:10) Where ever you see stealing, killing, and destroying, you know that sin has given Satan legal ground to work His evil (James 4:7). Yet, Jesus then says “I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” Here’s Christ’s statement:

“The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” John 10:10

Sin gives Satan the right to dominate ones life, yet Jesus came to “destroy the works of the devil.”

“He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.” 1 John 3:8

Note: You will never dominate the devil until you forsake all his wolves who pose as pastors. Discern: IF he’s not preaching repentance, the cross, and holiness, he’s a fraud! Run!

Getting Honest is the First Step Toward Total Victory

“The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” Jeremiah 17:9

Jesus taught us that man’s sin comes out of his “desperately wicked” heart (Jer17:9; Mark 7:20-23).

The devil and his agents have created a million ways to divert us from stopping our lives, getting honest, taking personal responsibility, humbling ourselves, admitting our sins against God, and repenting.

“When David took his sin to God in Psalm 51 he took 100 percent responsibility! He did not blame Bathsheba and did not seek therapy or medications. He took his heart to God. Repented and pleaded with the Lord to forgive and cleanse him. And the Lord restored to him the joy of his salvation. David was truly broken before God. And the only answer he sought was the Lord.” Karen Cochran

YOU CANNOT AND WILL NOT DOMINATE THE DEVIL UNTIL JESUS IS DOMINATING YOUR OWN LIFE – THE CROSS!

Any sin gives place to Satan (Ephesians 4:27; 6:11; James 4:7). Who’s ready to dominate the devil?

Jesus came to reunite us with the Father, to forgive and make captives free, establishing each of His saints in an abiding union with He and the Father (Luke 4:18; Acts 3:26; 10:38, etc.).

Learning the daily cross Jesus and His holy apostles instructed us to take up is essential to walking with Him (Luke 9:23-24; 2 Corinthians 4:10-12; Galatians 2:20; 5:24; 6:14; Colossians 3:4, etc.). This life will not work without it – not matter what one tries. | The Cross in Your Personal Life means Jesus will Reign!

IF you dare defend Satan’s works, if you don’t stand against them, it clearly proves you are of the devil. Repent now sinner (Psalms 94:16; Ephesians 5:11; 1 John 3:8).

Bless-ed Deliverance and Victory is not for All

Jesus came ….

“To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.” Acts 26:18

Only those who truly obey God will be free from sin and Satan. All those who don’t literally obey God’s Word are under the control of the enemy of all souls.

“Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. … 36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.” John 8:31-32, 36

To be dominated by the Holy Ghost and dominating the devil, you must obey God. To hear and obey is essential (Isaiah 1:18-29).

Jesus came to bless abundantly and yet He will not unless His conditions are met.

“But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.” James 1:22

We must obey the LORD and remember that just because God is using us, in no way means He’s not still purging, chastening, correcting, and stripping us. He’s got bigger things in mind – even greater fruitfulness!

“Every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.” John 15:2

No one said the purging, stripping, correcting, and chastening of the LORD aren’t grueling and don’t hurt – and yet, the LORD told us that these are necessary and that no son of His is without it. In fact, He says that anyone who rejects His work chooses not to be his – is without Him as their Father (Hebrews 12:5-11).

In a world of religious counterfeits who possess but a mere “form of godliness,” may God bless us to demonstrate true, authentic faith and worship-filled obedience to the nail-scarred risen LORD and Savior! (2 Timothy 3:5)

In Matthew 16, we read how Peter, one of Jesus’ own 12, was used by Satan, just after he’d said to Jesus “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.” (Matthew 16:16) Then Peter sought to stop Jesus from going to the cross and Jesus said to him “Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.” (Matthew 16:23)

Satan used Peter and Satan can use any of us, if we lapse. Jesus is our only protection and momentary submission to Him essential to keep the devil out.

“Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.” 1 Corinthians 10:12

“Neither give place to the devil.” Ephesians 4:27 

“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:” 1 Peter 5:8

To keep the devil under foot, one must keep his own body under the power of the Holy Ghost, under subjection to the LORD, by way of the cross – the crucified life.

“But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.” 1 Corinthians 9:27

Greek for “keep under”

hupōpiazō
hoop-o-pee-ad’-zo
From a compound of G5259 and a derivative of G3700; to hit under the eye (buffet or disable an antagonist as a pugilist), that is, (figuratively) to tease or annoy (into compliance), subdue (one’s passions): – keep under, weary.

ANYone willing to repent, to return afresh to the LORD, can be delivered! Do you know what James 4:7 says?

“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” James 4:7

Read James 4:7 again. Only those who submit to God on His terms, will be able to “resist (stand against) the devil” and be free from him. This is a non-negotiable divine truth.

TODAY is your day to begin using the real Bible-the King James Bible.

Did our LORD not announce to us what His divine mission was and still is?

Mission Statement of Jesus:

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,” Luke 4:18

The only way to dominate the devil is to obey God by consenting to your own death, the crucified life.

“Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 11 For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. 12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you.” 2 Corinthians 4:10-12

If you choose not to love Jesus more than your own wicked self, you will remain under Satan’s control. Jesus calls you to lay down your life – to die and let Him live and reign in you. Running from this cross message reveals that one is not authentic. Running to this repeatedly, biblically-stated message of the original Gospel proves authenticity before God. Are you real?

WHO do you belong to? Wait no longer – Get to the cross, now!

Simply knowing the truth is very important and yet, to walk in victory over the flesh, the world, and the devil, divine virtue must fill our lives – and that occurs through the daily cross life.

“Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.” 1 Corinthians 7:23

We have been purchsed by the blood of Jesus Christ. We are His property now. We belong to Him. As such, we are to serve Him and not man’s world, not mere men in ministry, etc.

The Blessing of Being Born of God, Born Again [podcast]


QUESTION:

“What does it mean to be ‘born again’?”

REPLY:

Great question. I am praying for you now. Born again is the same as regeneration we see in Titus 3:5-7. When the sinner (ALL of us) comes to God humbly, in repentance, turning his life to the LORD, and putting all of his faith now in Jesus Christ alone, God does a miracle in the person’s life – a change on the inside that is unmistakable and transforms that persons nature and life forever. From that moment onward, Christ reigns in that person’s life, filling him with love, joy, peace, etc. (Galatians 5:22-23). The LORD works from the inside out. First He saves, washes our sins away, and then dwells in that newly saved, born again temple (1 Corinthians 6:19-20).

To be born again you have to go to God directly…. admitting you have sinned against Him, and receive Jesus into your life. It has to be personal. Religions are designed to keep you from God while claiming to be the way to God. Beware.

“Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” John 3:3

“Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again (2nd birth).” John 3:7

“The birth for which Christ contends is from above – by the agency of the Holy Spirit. Every man must have two births, one from heaven, the other from earth – one of his body, the other of his soul: without the first he cannot see nor enjoy this world, without the last he can not see nor enjoy the kingdom of God. As there is an absolute necessity that a child should be born into the world, that he may see its light, contemplate its glories, and enjoy its good, so there is an absolute necessity that the soul should be brought out of its state of darkness and sin, through the light and power of the grace of Christ, that it may be able to see, or, to discern, the glories and excellencies of the kingdom of Christ here, and be prepared for the enjoyment of the kingdom of glory hereafter. The Jews had some general notion of the new birth; but, like many among Christians, they put the acts of proselytism, baptism, etc., in the place of the Holy Spirit and his influence: they acknowledged that a man must be born again; but they made that new birth to consist in profession, confession, and external washing.

The new birth which is here spoken of comprehends, not only what is termed justification or pardon, but also sanctification or holiness. Sin must be pardoned, and the impurity of the heart washed away, before any soul can possibly enter into the kingdom of God. As this new birth implies the renewing of the whole soul in righteousness and true holiness, it is not a matter that may be dispensed with: heaven is a place of holiness, and nothing but what is like itself can ever enter into it.” Adam Clarke

“I can remember after getting saved my friends and my family immediately saying ‘what happened to her?’ There was an immediate and complete change in me. God cleaned me from the inside out. I was made brand new! And people noticed. My family asked ‘What has happened to her?’ Does anyone know? Yes! Jesus happened to me!! Alleluia!” Karen Cochran

YOUR PRAYER TO GOD TO BE SAVED, TO BE FORGIVEN Are You Ready to be Saved? Okay here’s a prayer to be God’s child. You have to admit the obvious, that you have sinned against God and turn to Him fully, turn your life over to Him who made you. And confess Jesus Christ as the new LORD and Savior of your life. Pray this …

Your Prayer to God … You must honestly admit your sins and receive Christ… Apply His holy blood to your life so that you may be saved, forgiven, and live eternally with Him. You must completely turn your life over to Him in repentance and faith. Now, pray the following prayer to God with all that is within you, from your heart and out loud:….

Dear heavenly Father, right now, if never before, I come to You as a broken and sinful person. Thank You for sending Your only begotten Son to die in my place for my sins. Thank You Jesus for coming to this earth to die and rise again to rescue me from sin and eternal hell and to save me for Your eternal glory. Right this moment, if never before, I receive You LORD Jesus. Come in and take over my whole life. I am all Yours and You are all mine. I love You Jesus and I will follow You from this moment forward till I am with You in Heaven forever! Please use me to help others know You dear LORD. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.


How do we know someone is “born of God”?

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18  And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; … Now then we are ambassadors for Christ…” 2 Corinthians 5:17-18, 20

First off, if you are born again, you are changed from the inside out … you desire to do God’s will now…. and are learning the need for the cross, the daily crucified life (Luke 9:23-25).

Let us remember that the biblical words “born again” (John 3:3, 7),  “born of God” (1 John 4:7), “regeneration,” and being a “new creature” in Christ go hand in hand or we can say, are synonymous.

“Born of God” appears 6 times in God’s Word and are all found in the book of 1 John:

1 John 3:9
Whosoever is BORN OF GOD doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is BORN OF GOD.

Those who are “born of God” do not live in sin. They repent or return (turn back) to the LORD, confessing all sin. If not they will “fall away” and be outside of Christ (Luke 8:13). See Can a Born Again Man be Un-Born Again? [podcast]


1 John 4:7
Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is BORN OF GOD, and knoweth God.

Those who are “born of God” walk in His love toward others.


1 John 5:1
Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is BORN OF GOD: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.

Those who repent and believe upon Christ are “born of God” and they love all other of Christ’s saints.


1 John 5:4
For whatsoever is BORN OF GOD overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

Those who are “born of God” overcome this fallen world. By present and perpetual faith, they “overcometh the world.”


1 John 5:18
We know that whosoever is BORN OF GOD sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.

Those “born of God” do not live in sin. Rather, they “keepeth” themselves from sin and therefore Satan. This is accomplished by what we read in 1 John 1 and 2 – which spells out the walk of the true disciple of Jesus.

MAY GOD bless each disciple of Jesus today to abide in Christ by walking crucified and raised up by Him today (2 Corinthians 4:10-12). May “the fruit of the Spirit”, the “Love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance” be abundantly produced in the life of every saint of Jesus! May it be 100 fold LORD! (John 15) If you have been drawn in by Christ (John 6:44; 12:32), have repented (Luke 13:3), have received Christ (John 1:12), and are born again (John 3:3), you are bought by the precious blood of the LORD Jesus Christ (1 Peter 1:17-18).

YOUR PRAYER: Heavenly Father, You found and saved me into Your eternal kingdom by way of the precious blood of Your only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. I stop this life here and now, and I give You praise. I love You LORD Jesus. I am no longer my own but Yours. I am crucified with Christ. Please work in me both to will and to do of Your good pleasure. I am all Yours LORD and I know You are all mine! Please fill this vessel with Your Holy Ghost afresh, and please use me. In Jesus’ name, amen Master Jesus!

From brother Juan:

“Glory to God, brother! We know that the Word of God is not imprisoned. Jeremiah was in the prison courtyard, and God said, ‘Call to me, and I will answer you and tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.’ And we know that the word of God never returns empty; it always fulfills its purpose, brother. So we fully trust that God will do the work to expand His kingdom for His honor and glory. To Him be all the honor, brother. Blessings.” Juan

Jesus Calling Devotional Exposed: 10 Things You Might Not Know

“I know so many who are so deceived by this book!! The author is a woman and she makes Jesus sound like your boyfriend who is so in love with you he can’t bare a minute without you! It is sickening! Plus she says the Bible was not enough for her. She needed more. This author died and if she did repent of her blasphemy against a holy God she is burning in hell as we speak. There are not two Jesus’s! This book presents a weak, tolerant of all your sin, pathetic, spineless ‘Jesus.’ This false ‘Jesus’ just sits in heaven google-eyed over you and how much He can’t live one minute without you in His presence! This is opposite of the fierce Christ who calls out sin and hypocrisy, who took a whip to the money changers and flipped over tables in righteous anger! Mathew 23 shows us some of the most severe rebukes in all the New Testament. This is the Jesus true disciples chose to follow! May this new documentary open the eyes of many so-called Christians to how demonic and evil this book is.” Karen Cochran

 

BEWARE of the Jesus Calling devotional book which is written by a full blown heretic, Sarah Young. This book continually assures things to lost souls (catholics, etc.) reserved only for the true Christian. It promises salvation, assurance, grace, mercy, the glory of God, etc to lost hell bound idolatrous sinners. Like antichrist Rick Warren’s Purpose Driven Life book, Jesus Calling never calls sinners to repent which is a Gospel essential and without which God will never save any soul from sin and hell (Luke 13:3, 5). You will never hear Jesus’ born again commanded or command to repent in this heretical devotional book title Jesus Calling. This monstrosity simply confirms sinners in their sin, sealing their doom in the lake of fire (Jeremiah 23:17; Lamentations 2:14, etc.).

Sarah Young is just another self-willed false prophet who does “ministry” her way, not God’s, in order to sell books and to mislead eternal souls into eternal damnation.

The blessings of God in Christ’s salvation are reserved only for those born again “in Christ,” and never for hell bound religious idolaters (John 15:7; 2 Corinthians 1:20; 2 Peter 1:1-4, etc.). 


Stacy Strother writes:

Her subtly, deceptive, doctrinally corrupt fairy tale version of what she calls bible studies for all the different ages of people, including children’s bible studies, teen and other, are found in the book stores—shelves filled full.

She is deceived, a false witness, False bible teacher, and has not heard from our Jesus—the Christ, Son of the living God, of which, is the very Word of God.

She hears from demons. Period! She needs to REPENT, and be born again! Please Lord Jesus, help her see her own demise!”

FEEDBACK:

“Solid Biblical refutation of the “New Age ” nonsense passing itself off as the latest thing God is doing. In our area a number of Churches have embraced this and other similar material with no discernment to the un-biblical nature of this drivel. Thank God for Warren B.
