Hysteria is a Tool of Manipulation Used by Wolves [video]
MESSAGE RECEIVED:
“Brother, what is your take on the Rapture of the church? My wife and I are stuck in this discussion. I know we have to be ready always and all the time as Jesus said in Luke12:40 but how do you address this rapture correctly? Thank you brother.”
REPLY:
“And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do; the heads of them were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their commandment.” 1 Chronicles 12:32
The fact that the technology to carry out the plans of the NWO is now in place, seems to indicate that these are “the times and the seasons” of Christ’s return. More important than knowing the timing is living in an abiding, fruit-bearing relationship with Christ (John 15). Jesus repeatedly commanded us to be “ready” at ALL times. If we aren’t living “ready” to meet Him in the time of peace we’ve had, that’s a testament to our own evil hearted sinful rebellion and the need for true repentance (Luke 12:40; 21:34-36). | Fresh Start with God
GOD is in control saints, not man, especially not His enemies whom He told us He’s actually laughing at!!!!! Read Psalm 2 to see what’s going on right now!!!! BAM. The Most High Ruleth in the Kingdom of Men
No man knows the day nor the hour of Christ’s return and yet we will and do presently know “the times and the seasons” of His return and to be “ready.”
“But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.” Matthew 24:36
“But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. 2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.” 1 Thessalonians 5:1-2
Just because someone has concluded that Jesus is coming on a certain day, in a certain month, and in a certain year, doesn’t mean anyone else is obligated to buy the lie they’ve gullibly bought! Be ready at all times is what Jesus taught! (Luke 12:40; 21:34-36, etc.)
Beguilers who Use Continual Hysteria
Many today in ministry and leadership, those with vast audiences, speak of many lofty things. Their messages sizzle, and entice. They grab the attention of the masses and perpetuate them on a continuum of tuning in. Actually, that’s the intended business plan – to procure and to secure an ever-increasing audience. Yet, if we’re caught up in a whirlwind of for example, end times signs, etc., and yet not becoming more rooted and grounded in Christ, humbly submitted to Him with an heart of flesh, what good is the abundance of knowledge? See Matthew 18:3-4. Many who today have vast knowledge of the working of Satan and his human agents and their temporal kingdoms, will wind up in hell for their neglect of remaining intimately in fellowship with the Bridegroom as one of the wise virgins (Matthew 25:1-13).
“Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.” Matthew 25:13
False ministries are known in that they simply are not grounding their audience in Christ – in a cross bearing, abiding relationship with the Savior (Luke 9:23-24; John 15:1-6, etc.). It’s all shallow. They do not seek to make God’s people ready for the return of the KING by soundly establishing them in Him – on His stated (cross) terms (Ephesians 5:25-27; Colossians 1:28; 2:6-7; 1 John 2:24-3:3; Revelation 19:7-8, etc.). | Rooted and Grounded in Christ
Isn’t it interesting how popular these ministries are today? Well, they know exactly what hot buttons to push to get people to support, to fund their endeavor. And it’s working, for now. Judgment Day is on the way.
So many today are willing to ravenously tune into and support that which tickles their ears, stimulates their senses. They get caught up in the tingle, the sizzle of hot news if you will, stirring their emotions in various directions. Yet, so few support Christ’s authentic under-shepherds who are known in that they labor daily to soundly ground His precious sheep in His truth and love, equipping them for “the work of the ministry” (Ephesians 4:11-15). Note the divinely instilled, stated goal of the our LORD’s apostle Paul concerning establishing, rooting His people into Christ:
“As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: 7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. 8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:” Colossians 2:6-10
HAVE YOU NOTICED THAT BEING OVERLY PREOCCUPIED, ENTHRALLED, CONSUMED WITH THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES NEGATES AND CEASES THE RICH FRUITFULNESS THE LORD ORDAINS to be produced in our lives?… A FRESH READING OF THE BEAUTIFUL WORDS OF OUR LORD JESUS RECORDED IN JOHN 15:1-16 WILL BRING REFRESHING TO YOUR HEART DISCIPLE OF CHRIST.
A lot of date setting is based on numerology. Garbage. This is why SO VERY MANY dates have come and gone with no manifestation of what the date setter(s) promised was going to happen. Those who date set are false prophets (Matthew 24:36).
“But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.” Matthew 24:36
Our eyes must be on Jesus perpetually – “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith” (Hebrews 12:1-2). Our attention should not be overly enamored with or focused on mere signs but on the Savior.
OUR concern is simply a daily abiding cross walk with Jesus, period! Those who are paranoid about signs do not know the Savior. What did Jesus say of those who focus on signs? | The Daily Cross
“An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:” Matthew 12:39
Beware of the “blind guides” (Matthew 23) is what Jesus calls them and Isaiah says: “His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber. 11 Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter. 12 Come ye, say they, I will fetch wine (more intoxicating lies), and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and to morrow shall be as this day, and much more abundant.” Isaiah 56:10-12
“In one breath they are telling you that Jesus is coming soon and in the next they are asking you to purchase 30 year shelf life food so you will be prepared for many disaster‘s that they have made up to frighten many of the older people that are on low income! Lord please protect those that are most vulnerable to these ravenous wolves in sheep’s clothing.” Charles Pray
“How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart;” Jeremiah 23:26
FOR THE RECORD: ANY AND ALL MINISTRIES THAT ARE NOT GROUNDING INDIVIDUALS IN CHRIST – DAILY IN THE CROSS, THE WORD, A LIFE OF PRAYER, and a readiness for Christ’s return – ARE ABSOLUTELY PATENTLY FALSE!
The Devil’s False Prophets are Treading Water …. Hoping Their gullible Followers will Continue to Support them in the Face of Their Falsehoods, False Predictions, and Wrong Discernment … The LORD Almighty Interrupted their False Eschatological Timeline as if THEY Control God Instead Him Controlling Them and ALL Things…. and Instead of Repenting, Many of them are Negating the Embarrassment, Refusing to Repent and Come Clean Publicly …
“End times study is a huge distraction from daily discipleship for much of the church.” Chris Surber
Much of end times talk involves speculation, can be very self-serving, and based on self-worship and self-preservation which grounds no one in Christ. Colossians 2:18-19.
Hysteria is Different than Urgency
“And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation (hostile watching): 21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.” Luke 17:20-21
Think about all the hostile watchers we see today. They go about seeking to figure out the exact timing of Christ’s return, jumping selectively from one ministry to another that is feeding them information that focuses on the timing of the return and not knowing Jesus – being rooted and growing in the knowledge and grace of our LORD (Colossians 2:6-10; Hebrews 13:9; 2 Peter 1:2; 3:18, etc.).
Some are more interested in the timing of Christ’s return than they are in walking with, in being ready to meet Him. They seem more interested in escaping than knowing Jesus, the reason for which He created us (John 17:3). Unless there is repentance, these will not be ready (Luke 21:34-36, etc.).
MODERN DAY FRAUD “PROPHETS” AND “WATCHMEN” EXPOSED RIGHT IN OUR MIDST
“But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.” 2 Peter 1:10
Many fake so-called and self-appointed watchmen complain about the foretold, the prophesied things happening in our nations, governments, and yet do nothing to actually reach the lost. Run.

Jacob Sanderson poses a very important question:
“What’s more important;
knowledge about end times, or being ready for the end?”
REPLY:
Most end time ministries thrive on hysteria and false predictions and never ground their hearers in what Jesus says is essential for being ready to meet Him and not being shut out. These are the very false prophets Jesus warned us about. (Luke 12:35-40; 21:34-36; Matt. 24-25; 1 John 3:3, etc.)
Apostasy
Lance Wallnau Exposed
Update: Currently, Lance Wallnau is running a scam on social media.
WOLF SCAM ALERT: Lance Wallnau is an absolute fraud and has a scam running presently. See pic above. God answers prayers because of JESUS and the power of His holy name, where 1 or 2 or 3 pray in His name…. and NOT because 100k people pray! (John 14:13-14; 16:23-24, etc.) This is exactly what wolves do – they rob the glory from the nail scarred LORD and Savior! Read Colossians 1-2.
The kingdom now, NAR (new apostolic reformation) cult are doing their own bidding, self-willed, due to not being truly submitted to God. To these rebels it’s “No thy while but mine be done!” instead of the surrender displayed by the Son of God as He cried out to the Father, “not my will, but thine, be done.” (Luke 22:42) The crucified life is the Christian life.
Lance Wallnau is simply not preaching the original Gospel and therefore is “accursed” on that basis alone (Galatians 1:6-9). His messages include nothing about repentance, no hell, no cross, no judgment, no holiness, no blood of Jesus, etc. Totally false. Read Galatians 1:6-9 and run for your life!
Recently I received this email from a Lance Wallnau defender….
MESSAGE RECEIVED:
“There is nothing unbiblical about Lance’s teaching. You shouldn’t sow discord.”
REPLY:
Exposing wolves is not the biblical definition of sowing discord. Exposing false teachers is a divine mandate (Jude 3; Romans 16:17-18, etc.). | Naming Names: Is It Biblical?
Please demonstrate by the facts, with exact references of his “ministry”, that Lance Wallnau is preaching the original Gospel of Jesus Christ.
- Show us all where the cross, the crucified Savior is being preached in his “ministry”?
- Demonstrate where Wallnau is preaching the imperative crucified life of every disciple – anyone who would follow Jesus (Luke 9:23-24).
- Demonstrate where Lance Wallnau is preaching “judgment to come.” (Acts 24:25; Romans 14:10, etc.)
- Where Lance Wallnau is preaching hell which Jesus preached more than heaven (Mark 3:29; Luke 16:19-31, etc.).
- Show us where Wallnau is preaching the essential of repentance in order to be in Christ’s kingdom (Luke 13:3, 5).
- Where is Lance Wallnau preaching on being ready for the return of Jesus Christ? He’s not (Matthew 24; Luke 12:35-40; Ephesians 5:25-27; 2 Peter 3:10-14; book of Revelation, etc.).
- Show us where Lance is preaching Christ – preaching about the Savior he falsely claims to be representing (Acts 8:5; 9:20, etc.).
- Please give specific references where Lance Wallnau preaches on the holiness of God and the absolute necessity for His people to “be ye holy for I am holy.” (1 Peter 1:15-16; Hebrews 12:14; Isaiah 6:3; Revelation 4:8, etc.).
- Show where Lance Wallnau is preaching on the 17 soul damning sins specifically listed, cited in Galatians 5:19-21).
- Tell us all where Wallnau is teaching the Scriptures concerning the reality of persecution to all who truly follow Jesus (Matthew 5:10-12; Luke 6:22-26; 2 Timothy 3:12; 1 Peter 4:12-14, etc.).
- Show is where Lance Wallnau is teaching straight from God’s Word the essential of obedience to the LORD (Matthew 7:21; Titus 1:16; 1 John 2:4, etc.).
- Where is Lance teaching from Scripture the Bible doctrines of chastening, suffering, and enduring to the end?
Here’s exactly what’s going on:
“Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.” 2 Timothy 4:2-4
Today is your day to truly repent and follow Christ.
Anyone who follows Lance Wallnau is doing so while ignoring what Scriptures reveals and to their own destruction. When you meet someone who follows Wallnau, they are not in love with Jesus but rather intent upon defending this vile wolf (Colossians 2:4-10, 18-19).
Yes we are entitled to our opinion and we are also given the command and opportunity, privilege to follow God’s Word which is the only protection there is (Proverbs 30:5-6, etc.). If you can prove to me that Wallnau is preaching the original Gospel, that is, the truths, doctrines of Christ and His holy apostles give us in the Bible, I will change my mind. Otherwise, he’s an “accursed” wolf in my view as this is what Scripture plainly states. See Galatians 1:6-9. Do the words holy, holiness, repent, the cross – crucified life, hell, deny yourself, take up the cross, follow Jesus, the precious blood of Jesus, judgment to come, etc., come out of his mouth? No. Is he teaching the Word? No. He using a few Bible verses out of context to perpetuate his new age messages. “And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.” (Matthew 24:11)
H.O.T. BIBLE STUDY [podcast] | Answered Prayer? WHY?
Lance Wallnau is a warlock, a false prophet, a self-serving snake, a master manipulator, and wolf.
You will never hear this “accursed” wolf preach Christ or the cross – the crucified life! (Galatians 1:6-9)
Comment on video below: Wallnau is saying the guy got delivered by water baptism, not by Jesus, the only Deliverer! Hear him say this for yourself.
MESSAGE RECEIVED:
“Stop sowing discord among the brothers. God will deal with the tears. Lance Wallnau is doing a work that people like you won’t do in a Godly way. And he isn’t a wolf in sheep’s clothing.”
REPLY:
You are obviously biblically-illiterate and therefore blind. IS Wallnau preaching the doctrines of the original Gospel which was delivered us in the New Testament Scriptures which true believers are mandated to earnestly contend for??? Yes or No???? Let me help you: Is Wallnau preaching the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ, repentance with fruit to prove it, deliverance from all sin, the coming of Christ, the daily cross-crucified life, the blood of Jesus, hell/eternal damnation, judgment to come….???? No. Wallnau is plainly preaching “another gospel” which is a false gospel (2 Corinthians 11:2-5) You are propping up, bidding Godspeed to a wolf, and enemy of Christ and will be judged with him in hell if you don’t repent. Repent sinner.
“If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: 11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.” 2 John 10-11
Lance Wallnau is “accursed” for preaching a false gospel and so are you for bidding him Godspeed (Galatians 1:6-9)
Lance Wallnau is a new age warlock posing as a Christian minister. If he were of God he’d be preaching the original Gospel and all of it’s doctrines. God is turning you over to “strong delusion” for rejecting His truth – for rejecting Christ for a sinful man who is Christ’s enemy (2 Thessalonians 2:10-12).
ARE you caught up with someone’s ministry, enthralled with their personality and yet not judging their doctrine? If so you are NOT a New Testament Berean! Time to repent and return to the LORD, today. ISSUE SETTLED: Are they preaching the original Gospel? Do you even know what the foundational doctrines of the original Gospel are? Do you realize that any man who is pretending to represent Christ and yet is not preaching the original Gospel doctrines, is “accursed”? (Galatians 1:6-9) Do you realize that if you bid Godspeed to (condone, support, defend) them you will be judged by God with them? (2 John 7-11)

How to Get the Devil Out of Your Life [podcast]
Devil on Your Back?
Anybody remember that song “Shut thee door keep out the devil.” (thee is the sound not the).
It’s all over for the devil once you learn and apply the cross – the Bible concept of dying and letting Jesus reign in your life! Boom.
“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” James 4:7
I’m sorry, what?! Read James 4:7 again!
Okay, so let me get this straight …. If I submit myself to God afresh, repent, return to Him with a whole heart, then I can “Resist the devil, and he will flee from” me? Isn’t that what you just read for yourself in James 4:7? Yes it is!
James 4:7 – Greatest spiritual warfare Scripture in the Bible right there!
You can pray till you’re blue in the face and Satan is going no where – till you repent.
You can entertain and titillate your mind all day long with surface level nuggets and ramblings and yet nothing explosive is going to occur, nothing powerful is going to happen in your life until you die the death – until you put your foot down, smashing Satan’s head, and declare that Jesus Christ alone reigns in your life from that moment forward!
When sin is vanquished from your life, Satan is vanquished – he no longer has any legal right, claim to you! He is shut out! Satan failed at tempting Jesus because Jesus refused to enter into the temptations the Devil laid before Him. Jesus was in a season of fasting and prayer. This is key for us as it’s what He commanded for us (Matthew 6:16).
“When ye fast … Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” Matthew 6:16; 26:41
Recently was able to share with a man who was seeking victory over his sins. The instruction was that there is nothing, no sin he can’t fast out of his life – as he draws near to God in repentance, God will draw near to Him and make him free (James 4:8). See Isaiah 58. | Fasting and Prayer
It’s G.O.D. time = Game Over Devil!
On a regular basis and a whole lot lately, people come, call for prayer. The first order of business is to get the sin dealt with in their lives, then the devil is forced out – he then has no legal right to them and must flee.
IF you are not enduring sound doctrine – holding yourself accountable to divine truth – you are Hell bound. If your life is all about YOU instead of JESUS – you will dodge, twist, and manipulate Scripture to fit your own sinful whims, and vainly believe that God doesn’t see all your dissimulation.
“Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.” 2 Timothy 4:2-4
If your pastor is not preaching the pure Word of God and watching for your eternal soul, you are completely deceived and being led to eternal damnation (Hebrews 13:7, 17). This would account for more than 90% of the fake “Christian” leaders operating today.
“For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.” Isaiah 9:16
For explosive revelation of false prophets, read Jeremiah 23, Ezekiel 34, Matthew 23, and 2 Peter 2.
Now, today is your day to truly come before the throne of His grace while you can – before it’s too late. Nothing less than real, authentic repentance which produces a changed life will be in Heaven.
YOUR PRAYER: Jesus I am done with the Devil! I am sick and tired of living in sin and being battered by Your archenemy. Most of all, I want to love You supremely. I want to know You. Father, I come to You with an open, honest heart and ask You to forgive all my sins, to wash me clean in Thy precious blood dear LORD Jesus. Into Your holy hands I now submit my spirit, soul, and body. Make me whole LORD, as You alone can do. Please fill me with Your Holy Ghost and use me in this last hour as we look for Your soon return. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

Abiding
“Be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord” [podcast]
“Be Not Moved Away”
“If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;” Colossians 1:23
The victory is in Jesus Christ, and we are “stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.”
“But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.” 1 Corinthians 15:57-58
Remaining before the LORD, seeking His holy face “continually” is essential to abiding in Christ (1 Chronicles 16:11; John 15:1-16; Romans 8:14; Galatians 5:16).
“For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.” Romans 8:6
Being “stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the LORD,” has never been more essential than it is in this last hour before our LORD’s return.
Jesus is coming.
The Devil’s Diversions
“Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.” 2 Corinthians 2:11
Satan has laid traps for each of us, snares of politics, non-essential doctrines, heresies, and fascinations of all kinds (2 Corinthians 2:11; Colossians 2:8-10; 1 Peter 5:8). Beware. His mission is to derail Christ’s saints from abiding oneness, fruitfulness – the fruit, more fruit, much fruit Christ has ordained us to walk in. Read John 15:1-16.
These things are of this fallen world and used by “the god of this world” himself, Satan (2 Corinthians 4:4).
“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.” 1 John 2:15-17
Why are there Christians who fall away from the work of Christ? – It’s because they ceased, fell away from the worship of Christ. Ceasing to participate in the work of Christ is the result of ceasing to worship Christ truly – becoming worldly or all about the fleeting cares and trinkets of this world.
“And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word’s sake, immediately they are offended. 18 And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word, 19 And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.” Mark 4:17-19
“JESUS was met with hatred, and if you follow HIM you will be also. Hate mongers didn’t stop HIM, and shouldn’t stop us either.” Nelline Richard
Dear friend, be reminded that you will stand before the Almighty to give full account for your life in His earth that He gave you to steward for His eternal glory.
“We shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.” Romans 14:10
Satan, the “god of this world”
As “the prince of the power of the air,” the evil one controls the airwaves and uses the noise to distract you, to confuse, and to anchor you in the temporal, the horizontal. This he does to prohibit/hinder your fellowship with the LORD, the vertical.
Are you living FREE or AFRAID/in FEAR?
“And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. 17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.” 1 John 4:16-18
Someone has rightly stated: “Fear is the currency of control.”
“If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.” Colossians 3:1-4
“Jesus’ twelve disciples didn’t get rich off the gospel, they died for it.” Nelline Richard
Do you see this misconception of dragging a cross around as an issue, an erroneous view of what Christ and Paul spoke of concerning the daily cross and the purpose of it?
Yes exactly, and perhaps that’s what’s missing—the resurrection—from the erroneous view of the cross by the modern church….
Only Jesus bore our sins on that cross (Isaiah 53). Dragging our cross around daily won’t expiate for even one or any one of our sins….. we are debtors to live in the Spirit instead of the flesh
One disciple noted:
“We owe no debt to Christ. This is law—tit for tat thinking. Salvation is a gift. It is not a MasterCard account, but an unconditional gift. We are now to live after the Spirit, not the flesh. Yes, without the aid of the Holy Spirit the cross message is a burden with no good news. Lies. Romans 8:12. We are not debtors to the flesh. We are debtors to no one! We have been given a gift for which no debt was/is incurred.”
Heirs with Christ:
“12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.” Romans 8:12-17
A Brother wrote:
“The worldly mind cannot think outside of ‘performance-based,’ tit for tat, earning blessing, merit based meritocracy, mammon based, law based labeling and judgmentalism, eye for eye, love those who love you back but not enemies. This is all a legalistic tree of knowledge of good and evil type mind and is dualism. God is non-dual, single, pure, not double-minded, sincere and the tree of life (love) which has a single-eyed view of life and lives in the way of the cross— unconditional self-sacrificial love.” T
The mind has to be turned upside down by the experience of the cross and resurrection to get this “mind of Christ” (1 Corinthians 2:16).
Perhaps this is all about the exchanged life, right?
Clearing the Noise
“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, 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
Only the truth, embracing and obeying it, makes us free from confusion and fear (John 8:31-32, 36).
Is the Cross Meant to be Drudgery or Victory?
The cross makes us free from the chains of religion, false obligation, dead pursuits, and drudgery.
As you well know, there’s a common misconception that is in the mind of most Christians concerning Jesus’ command to deny self, take up the cross and follow Him…. WHAT does that really mean? Does it mean the believer has to drag some burden around every day of his life? Does it mean drudgery, misery, and a heavy weight (Matthew 11:28-30)?
Let’s clear this up, God willing brother. I know you’ve probably taught on this already since you’ve been teaching and learning the cross for a while…… is it correct that……
The cross isn’t a burden. It’s an instrument to crucify you so that you can be liquidated, raised up, and free to be glorifying to, and to be used of God (Galatians 2:40).
The cross is not a burden. It is an instrument of crucifixion so that you are set free to serve God in the resurrection grace of Jesus Christ who is the resurrection and the life.
The cross sets us free, resurrection life in Christ…..”
F.B. Meyer on Colossians 3:1-11
“SEEKING THE ‘THINGS THAT ARE ABOVE’
Let us repeat the glorious truth, which was doubtless the heart of Paul’s teaching, that our old nature has been nailed in Christ to the Cross, and laid in the grave; and that our real self, the second Adam, has entered the new world of resurrection. We belong to the world on the threshold of which Jesus said, ‘Touch me not, for I am not yet ascended.’ We must guard against the defiling touch of the world, of sin, and of the old self-life. We stand between two worlds, each solicits us: let us yield to the influences that pull us upward, and not to those that anchor us to this sinful and vain world. Our eternal blessedness has begun, let us walk in it.
In Christ we profess to have put off the old man, i.e., the habits of our former life, Col_3:9; now let us actually do so, in the power of the Holy Spirit. We profess to have put on the risen Christ, Col_3:10; now let us don the attire and habits of the new man. Too many Christians resemble Lazarus, quickened from his death-sleep, but still arrayed in grave-clothes. Too few array themselves in the radiant beauty of the risen Lord, which is the common heritage of all who believe in Him, whatever their rank or nationality.” F.B. Meyer
“WE (plural) are labourers TOGETHER with God.” 1 Corinthians 3:9
NOTHING happening on God’s earth today is even remotely important compared to the work of Christ through His saints – to feed His flock and win the lost! That is the Great Commission He mandated to us and holds us accountable to accomplish! He’s with us beloved saints – all the way to the end – supplying every iota of grace and otherwise!
Jesus promised “Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”
“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” Matthew 28:18-20
