Refusing, or Enduring Sound Doctrine?
“I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; 2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering 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 4:1-4
At times we hear naysayers claim that those who preach the truth in the fear of God are “negative.” In other words, they don’t want to “endure sound doctrine” which is exactly how people “depart from the faith” and “fall away.” (1 Timothy 4:1; 2 Timothy 4:3-4) Some never return to Christ and will forever be alienated from Him who is Salvation (2 Peter 2:20-21).
The Real Negative
What’s “negative” is sin which brings eternal “death” which means eternal separation from God (Romans 6:23). Sin brings eternal damnation and only the truth can rescue perishing souls from sin and everlasting fire (John 8:31-32, 36). Those who may seem harsh and “negative” may just be the most important people in your life! They may be that blessing that God send to speak His Word into your life and warn you – in order to save you from the lake of fire. Now, is that negative or positive?
The unchanging God told His servant Isaiah to expose the sins of His people so that they could repent and be cleansed of them.
“Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.” Isaiah 58:1
Was Isaiah the prophet “negative” or was he obedient and a blessing? The answer is obvious to the righteous remnant.
IF YOU CHOOSE TO CONTINUE TO REJECT THE ONLY SAVIOR AND HIS “SOUND DOCTRINE” INSTEAD OF ENDURING IT UNTO ETERNAL LIFE, IN ETERNAL HELL, HOW MUCH DO YOU THINK YOU ARE GOING TO “LOVE” THE SMILING WOLVES IN WHOM YOU TRUSTED? HOW “BLESSED” WILL YOU BE THEN? HOW WONDERFUL WILL YOU THINK THOSE EVIL MEN ARE THEN? HOW GLAD WILL YOU BE THAT REJECTED JESUS CHRIST FOR THESE DECEIVING DEVILS?
In fact, it’s only the false leaders who tell people “smooth things” instead of the truth and refuse to preach on sin to help God’s people get delivered so that they are abiding in Him and ready to meet the LORD.
“Thy prophets have seen vain and foolish things for thee: and they have not discovered thine iniquity, to turn away thy captivity; but have seen for thee false burdens and causes of banishment.” Lamentations 2:14
It’s the backslidden, apostate people who cry out for “smooth things” instead of seeking the whole and hard truth of God’s truth.
“That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law (Word) of the LORD: 10Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits.” Isaiah 30:9-10
But what’s “the end thereof” hold? What future have truth-rejecting souls to look forward to? To the rebellious people among God’s people, Jeremiah wrote:
“The prophets (false leaders) prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?” Jeremiah 5:31
What shall we answer the Judge of our eternal soul when we stand before Him? What shall we answer Him after we have chosen to shun and deny His truth spoken by His “negative” messengers? What shall we say to Him after we have refused to “endure sound doctrine” but rather did our own thing and justified it by migrating to false leaders who told us things that tickled our ears or coddled us in our sins and refused to even include the words “sin” or “repent” in their vocabulary?
Shall we hear “Enter thou in to the joy of the LORD” or “Depart from me ye cursed into everlasting fire”? (Matthew 25:40-46)
You see, people get intoxicated and become “lukewarm” when they begin listening to one of the “many false prophets” today (Matt. 7:15; 24: 11, 24; Rev. 3:15-16). They begin to wax cold in heart as they are allured or seduced by evil spirits to adopt and embrace soul-seducing doctrines that put them “at ease in Zion,” not realizing it’s for their eternal soul.
There are innumerable false prophets operating today who have become multi-millionaires by capitolzing on the unrepentant hearts of the many who vainly think they are saved but live after the flesh instead of dying to self and letting Jesus reign. It’s “after their own lusts” that they have “heaped” up to themselves these beguiling false teachers and been turned over to lies and fables (2 Timothy 4:2-4). The wolves simply tell people what they wish to hear, tickling their ears to eternal destruction and thereby have made merchandise of these truth-rejecting masses (2 Peter 2:1-3). Be sure that their end is eternal “damnation.” (2 Peter 2:3) These deceivers have done this by peddling their lies in their books which sell millions due to the “many” who are on broad road to eternal hell (Matthew 7:13-14). Christ told us that only a “few” would enter into eternal glory.
“Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. 15Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.” Matthew 7:13-15
Here in this passage above, Jesus connects there “broad … way” through which “many” will enter into hell and the warning to “Beware of false prophets,” that is, the “false prophets” who are the “ravening wolves” who do not preach the “narrow … way”which “leadeth unto life.”
A Deceived Generations Path to Hell
These are nothing but false prophets, wolves who are telling people exactly what their unrepentant hearts want to hear. Totally counterfeit. This is exactly what Paul prophesied (2 Timothy 4:1-4). When they do dare mention “sin” and “repentance” it’s not in the biblical context. They feign to preach “repentance” but it’s only to get “blessed” and not being taught in the context of how Scripture defines true repentance nor for the right reason. In Bible terms, repentance is not a shallow “I’m sorry” to get us to the “blessings” the false prophets entice us with. But this stuff sells well for this unrepentant, self-serving generation. They just want the “blessing.” They want to crown but reject Christ and the cross. They have no deep sorrow for their sin but rather a shallow, “I’m sorry-please just bless me” mentality. They are not willing to suffer the death of self and “endure” such “sound doctrine” by obeying it (Romans 6; 2 Timothy 4:2-4).
“There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness.” Proverbs 30:12
Why do some say that those who preach the truth in the fear of God are “negative”? Why and how does someone come to the place of saying the truth is “negative”? It’s when we ourselves have back slidden in our hearts (Proverbs 14:14) that we begin to wax cold and see true Gospel preaching and declaration as being “negative.” But it’s eternity in hell that is negative and so the hard truths must be told just like the prophets and apostles and our LORD spoke. There is nothing in the earth more positive than the truth. It’s the only ark of safety to save our eternal souls from the ferocious ocean of fire our LORD so often warned us to escape. Jesus called this generation “An eviland adulterous generation.” (Matthew 12:39) We ourselves are ever in jeopardy to fall prey to the lusts of the flesh and be spoiled and “fall away.” Our LORD told us exactly how this happens:
“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 4:18-19
1. Cares of this world
2. Deceitfulness of riches
3. Lusts of other things
Prayer of Repentance: Heavenly Father, I have not held You first place in my life. I have had myself as another and a false god before You. Right now, if never before, I turn my heart and life back to You. I announce my sins before You and ask You to forgive and wash me clean by the blood of Jesus from these transgressions. Unite my heart to fear Thy holy name. Please fill me with Your Holy Ghost and take over my life. Open doors and hearts for me to testify to others the work you are doing in my heart and life and that blessed work You wish to do in the lives of all who will come to You. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Christ’s Non-Negotiable Original Gospel Imperative [podcast]

“He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.” Matthew 12:30
It’s one thing to claim we are with Christ and He with us, and it’s another thing to prove we are with the Savior by adhering to His words. Jesus told us that those who are “of God” hear and obey His words (John 8:47).
If one chooses not to love Jesus enough to obey His stated terms, such a man has rejected the Son of God for the love of sinful self and will perish in his own corruption (Matthew 22:37-40; Luke 9:23-24; 14:33; 17:33; John 14:15; 1 John 2:3-6, etc.).
“Repentance is to TAKE SIDES with God against yourself. It is a CHANGE of attitude toward SELF, toward SIN, toward GOD, toward CHRIST that is so REAL that it RESULTS in a changed life. It is raising the WHITE FLAG in SURRENDER to God and turning to Christ as your only LORD and Savior. Repentance is NOT a work … works are the fruit of repentance (Ephesians 2:8-10).” Trent Austin
Only the counterfeit will get upset at this Gospel message because such a rebel wants nothing to do with taking personal responsibility for his sin, the denial of self, the crucified life to be set apart, holy, and having the Savior reign!
Notice how Jesus knits the denial of self, the daily cross, the putting off the deeds of the body, of keeping under the body (the iniquitous fallen nature) with the destiny of the eternal soul.
“And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. 24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. 25 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?” Luke 9:23-25
Jesus made it clear here that the cross is an original Gospel essential, an absolute imperative to eternal glory with Him!
Each of us proves exactly who we love the most by the way we are living! – God or self!
Everything that is happening in your life now is being allowed by God in order to get you down low into the death and burial with Christ. Read 2 Corinthians 4.
“But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. 8 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; 10 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 4:7-12

Jacked Up Jezebel Rebuked [podcast]

“Jezebel is a widely rampant spirit of rebellion that is hard to get rid of, rooted in pride, self-will, and self-sufficiency. Only the LORD can deliver but only if the individual truly repents and submits to Him, to His Word.” Anita Villarreal
Any person defending this jezebel heresy that women can be pastors, elders over men, is under the control of Satan, period. And in need of true repentance (James 4:7).
—-There are NO female apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, or teachers under the New Testament (Ephesians 4:8, 11-12). Jesus gave these “gifts unto MEN.” (Ephesians 4:8) There is not even one woman mentioned in 27 books as an elder over Christ’s flock. Such is clearly forbidden (1 Timothy 2:11-12). In Acts 21:9 we read of Phillip’s daughters which “did prophesy” which is a gift of the Spirit (one of the nine-1 Corinthians 12:7-10). The office gifts are eldership functions for men called to be overseers over Christ’s flock, which is completely different than the gifts of the Spirit which every believer can function in and certainly women are seen doing such as Phillip’s daughters and how women are mentioned concerning operating in the gifts of the Spirit in 1 Corinthians 14.
Classic case of a jezebel lashing out when the Word of GOD corrects her (2 Timothy 3:16-17). Her rebellion is against God. Jezebel is utterly rebellious. She hates what God’s Word says and so the demons that control jezebels will lash out in personal attacks against the men who stand on the truth unwaveringly (such as did Elijah whom Jezebel sought to kill).
“Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. 12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. 13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.” 1 Timothy 2:11-14
“As I look around America I ask myself who can find a virtuous woman? Whose whole life is surrendered to God. And centered in the fear of the Lord. No woman will submit to their husbands unless they first submit to God. Ephesians 5:22 says women are to submit to their husbands, “as unto the Lord.” That must come first. And what is a great price in the sight of God? A woman who has a meek and quiet spirit (1 Peter 3:4). This is true beauty to God. But Jezebels are the complete opposite. Full of rebellion, pride and hatred! God says throw her down!” Karen Cochran
From the divine perspective, this is not about oppression but rather about protect. See Revelation 2:20-24 to see what Jesus warns when a woman is allowed to lead as an elder in the body of Christ. He uses the words “The depths of Satan” and speaks of the death and destruction that will result when the men allow a woman to lead in a manner that is outside of the stated role God ordained for the woman.
Yes the LORD said He will pour out His Spirit on all flesh, sons and daughter, but not to anoint a woman to do something HE forbids. Women are to teach women yes but not the general body of believers (Titus 2:1-5). There are NO female elders in the New Testament. God forbids it. Eldership is reserved for men – to humbly teach, lead and protect and cherish women and children.
“There’s a crazy role reversal across the land and men should always lead. Even our women’s prayer group was led by the pastor because that’s what he believed. Women are more emotional and men more logical. Both have their designated roles . God meant them to compliment each other rather than to compete.” John Umlauf
When people don’t like what God’s Word states, they will attack the mere messenger as if that changes the truth. Not. And, they heap judgment on themselves by doing so (Matthew 7:1-5; James 2:13). Persecution
“For we are not as many, which corrupt (twist, adulterate) the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.” 2 Corinthians 2:17
“He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.” John 8:47
“Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.” Proverbs 13:13
Jesus Addresses the Ahabs and Self-Appointed Jezebel at the Church at Thyatira
Revelation 2:20-24
Revelation 2:20-24 is about a certain self-appointed woman who was allowed by the spineless men in Thyatira to operate out of the biblically-stated order for women in the church setting.
Rev 2:20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
Rev 2:21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.
Rev 2:22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
Rev 2:23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.
Rev 2:24 But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden.

Racism: Nation Rising Against Nation [radio]

Nation Shall Rise Against Nation
Laboring in the Spirit, not the Flesh
“Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.” Jude 21
It’s not about the color or your skin, it’s about what kingdom you’re in!
What Should be the Response of the Body of Christ? – LOVE!
Reading 1 Corinthians 13 each morning this week is a life changer. Nothing in our lives is going to work out right if we don’t prayerfully endeavor to walk in God’s love – loving God and our neighbor, above ourselves. I love pouring prayerfully over 1 Corinthians 13 and Philippians 2:3-5. Life changing is an understatement!
Racism is hatred and is not a skin color. It is a heart condition – coming from a sinful heart. Memorize Romans 2:11.
In the time of tribulation for the believers at Thessalonica, the Holy Spirit spoke through Paul and said this:
“And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.” 2 Thessalonians 3:5
By this we know of a certainty that the Holy Spirit is leading, directing our “hearts into the LOVE of God” and not the flesh, not a fleshly response. We now face tribulation and can be assured by this truth that our unchanging God is directing our hearts into His love and not hatred.
This is a divine truth for every era, every hour…. and we sure know that sin is exponentially abounding in this late hour…. which means divine grace is even greater – to save, heal, bless, deliver, and make whole!!!!
“But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:” Romans 5:20
Here’s more evidence of God’s leading His people into the love walk in trying times:
“But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer. 8 And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.” 1 Peter 4:7-8
Any person who does not walk in God’s love is not saved and we know that from many Scriptures. No hate, no hater shall enter Christ’s kingdom, no matter what justification that sinner thinks he has to warrant hating anyone. “He that loveth not knoweth not God.” (1 John 4:8) “Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.” (1 John 3:15)
When His disciples ask Him “what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?”, Jesus gave them this answer:
“And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation (ethnic group) shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. 9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake. 10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.” Matthew 24:4-13
“Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. 5 And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.” 2 Timothy 2:3-5
The Church began, will end as containing precious souls from every nation, kindred, and tongue (Acts 2; Revelation 5:9; 14:6).
The New Testament church began with men from every nation under Heaven and will be the same throughout eternity in glory.
Acts 2:1-13
“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;” Revelation 5:9
Nation/ethnos, ethnic yes…groups at odds was foretold by Jesus – Matthew 24:7
Yes we can be at peace, Jesus told us to fear not and to be at peace …..
John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
