The Fear of the LORD is to Hate Evil: Pride, and Arrogancy #shorts [video]

Wolves are not God’s anointed! They are His enemies! Get a clue! The enemies of Christ are not His anointed! Now repent. When you do, you will cease bidding Godspeed to Christ’s enemies who falsely claim to be His anointed ones in order to fleece His flock! 2 John 10-11

Those who have empathy for Satan’s agents and no mercy for those they’ve deceived and hurt, are pitifully demonic. Repent now you vile devil or you will go irrevocably to the same hell as those evil doers you defend! (Ezekiel 14:10; 2 Peter 2:1-3; 2 John 10-11)

The LORD is calling us to maturity in His holy fear. We are to come to the place where we refuse to conceal or hide any person operating as a Christian leader who is leading God’s people astray through his false doctrine.

Wolves in sheep’s clothing use the “touch not mine anointed” in order not to be questioned while they are making merchandise of the people (2 Peter 2:1-3).

Be not deceived: Those who use the “touch not mine anointed” Scripture to cloak themselves, to hide behind, do so because they have something to hide. They are unaccountable and unrepentant, walking in darkness (John 3:19-21). These are wolves who are running a scam on others and don’t want to be exposed. Did Jesus or His holy apostles or anyone in the New Testament Scriptures ever once use the term “touch not mine anointed”? No.

Many seem to come to the aid and defense of the wolves they’ve embraced. They go on an aggressive attack against anyone who dare question their wolf and his/her teachings.

“Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.” Jude 3

It is a divine mandate to “earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.” The teachings of every man must be weighed in the balance against the final divine authority, the standard, the written Word. This is exactly what the Bereans did to Paul when he taught – they “searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so” (Acts 17:10-11). God’s written Word is the final divine authority on all matters of faith and doctrine (2 Timothy 3:16-17). “Let God be true and every man a liar” (Romans 3:4).

Notice the context from which the false prophets of today pluck and misuse this “Touch not mine anointed” phrase. Note the language. It’s plain that God is speaking of all of His people.

“And hath confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant, 18 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance; 19 When ye were but few, even a few, and strangers in it. 20 And when they went from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people; 21 He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes, 22 Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.” 1 Chronicles 16:17-22

Clearly in this context, it is all of God’s people who are addressed as His “anointed” and not just the leaders – and especially not wolves in sheep’s clothing (Matthew 7:15).

Repent and follow Jesus and stop defending His enemies. And anyone who defends His enemies is an enemy of Jesus.

Matthew Washington writes:

“A true follower of Christ never follows a personality but rather they seek and follow the truth which is Christ. Question: Are you following Christ or a man, method, or ministry? Everyone of us who name the name of Christ should ask the Father if we are truly following Him or something or someone else that we think is Him. Deception is Rampant! Let no man deceive you by any means.”

Those who defend Jesus’ enemy’s will be judged, damned with them (2 Pet 2:1-3; 2 Jn 10-11).

“And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.” Acts 17:10-11

Have you been Deceived? Whose Fault was it?

Touch Not the Cross-Less Wolves

“(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: 19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly (self-serving carnal appetites), and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)” Philippians 3:18-19

Many who claim they are “God’s anointed” today hide behind this verse they pluck out of context in order to cloak themselves. In reality, these men are the greedy wolves Jesus and His apostles warned us about.

“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.” Matthew 7:15

Jesus and His holy apostles often rebuked and exposed false leaders and false doctrine (Matthew 23; Acts 13:10; 20:29-31; Galatians 5:11-12; 2 Timothy 4:2-4; 2 Peter 2; 2 John 7-11; Revelation 2:6, 15, etc.). Therefore we know that part of following Jesus includes doing the same. In fact, the body of Christ is mandated to do just that (Romans 16:17-18; Philippians 1:17; Jude 3-4).

THE WORK OF SATAN AND HIS PAWNS IS TO KEEP HIS WOLVES (FALSE LEADERS) HIDDEN FROM VIEW! GOD WANTS THEM EXPOSED, BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE BODY OF CHRIST SO HIS SHEEP, FOR WHOM CHRIST DIED, CAN BE PROTECTED. JESUS AND HIS HOLY APOSTLES DID JUST THIS – EXPOSE FALSE LEADERS AND THEIR HERESIES! LET’S GET A GOSPEL CLUE AND CEASE DEFENDING, HIDING SATAN’S AGENTS! (See Matthew 21:12-17; Romans 16:17-18; Jude 3-4; Acts 13:10; Matthew 23, etc.)

Those who truly know the LORD are crucified with Him and Christ alone is magnified in their lives (Romans 6, etc.). They don’t find Scripture to use out of context to hide behind and to perpetrate greedy thievery on others by using the name of the LORD in vain.

No man can possibly be full of self and simultaneously full of the Savior – it’s either one or the other (Matthew 6:24; 12:30). The crucified life is an essential, it’s central to our walk with Jesus (Luke 9:23-24; Galatians 2:20; Colossians 3:3, etc.).

When you hear someone using the “Touch not mine anointed” Scripture, you should begin to ponder and ask a simple question …..

What or whose “anointing” are you talking about?

WHO are God’s true “anointed”? EVERY believer in whom dwells the Holy Spirit is God’s anointed and not a certain clan of self-appointed wolves who claim they are the anointed ones (1 John 2:20, 27).

Lorin Richman writes:

“Another one they always use out of context is, “touch not God’s anointed!”, not realizing that false teachers ARE NOT God’s anointed, but rather His believers are because we are in Jesus and He is in us.”

WHAT spirit is anointing the false prophets who feign to represent Christ? – “another spirit” which is a demon (2 Corinthians 11:12-15).

Any person talking about the “anointing” and it’s not in the context of the crucified life, is suspect and most likely a total fraud!

Jesus never anoints anyone who isn’t crucified with Him through the daily cross! (See Luke 9:23-24.) Those who don’t realize this have no Gospel clue.

WHEN you see someone talking about what they call “the anointing” and yet never mention the cross – you know you are dealing with a self-serving, counterfeit dupe! (Read Galatians 2:20; 6:14.)

You will never hear a “Touch not mine anointed” fraud preaching the cross! This alone reveals their deceit, their falsity! RUN NOW!

“Touch Not”? Yeah! But What Does that Mean?

“Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.” Psalms 105:15

Who said today’s self-appointed wolves are God’s “anointed”? God certainly didn’t but THEY did and do – and so do those indoctrinated under their spell, their witchcraft. They’ve made their followers “twofold more the child(ren) of hell” (Matthew 23:15). False prophets use this one verse to shield themselves from being exposed. What those who support them don’t realize is that these men are the very agents of Satan himself and nothing less (2 Corinthians 11:12-15). These prophesied wolves have lifted this verse out of its divinely intended context and have conveniently attributed it to themselves – while not only are they not God’s anointed, they are His very enemies. And we know that those who use “touch not mine anointed” to defend their favorite false teachers, are perpetrating this whole deception.

While groundless counterfeits run around defending their favorite wolves as they tout “Touch not mine anointed,” God says “touch not the unclean thing” (2 Corinthians 6:17). And defending His enemies is an “unclean thing”! Those who defend the enemies of Christ will be judged into hell with them (2 Peter 2:1-3; 2 John 10-11).

Do you realize that if you are supporting and defending what Paul calls “enemies of the cross of Christ” that YOU will be judged, sent to hell with them? (See Philippians 3:18-19; 2 John 10-11; 2 Peter 2:1-3.)

YES, God is the Judge and THE JUDGE HAS SPOKEN – it’s called the BIBLE. We have HIS judgments on record in the Bible. Now let’s repent and cease the smokescreens to evade truly repenting! (See John 3:19-21.)

Dear wolf defender: Sounds like you need to repent and get into God’s Word and when you do, you will cease attacking people that are doing His Word – which includes exposing His enemies.

“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.” 1 John 4:1

WHEN the LORD says “Touch not mine anointed” He’s speaking of any single one of His children. When today’s idolatrous dupes who make idols out of mere men and ministries say “touch not mine anointed,” they are speaking of Satan’s false prophets! All of Scripture testifies to the truth that God loves and has put His Holy Spirit in each and every one of His children. Biblically speaking, the “anointing” is the Holy Ghost and not the self-appointed assigning of some special, superior office of any mere man. | Who are the Nicolaitans?

Nicolaitans means to conquer the laity/people: nico = conquer. laitans/laity = the people. These are the false leaders who reign like gods over the blood-bought children of God. They abominably insert themselves between God and man (1 Timothy 2:5). In this manipulation, this witchcraft, these Antichrists intercept the heart affections and resources of those they bring under their domination (Colossians 2:18-19; Revelation 2:6, 15).

One of the ways Satan targets, deceives, and snares saints is via false leaders – wolves who wear sheep’s clothing. Jesus warned us of just such a threat (Matthew 7:15). Satan uses false leaders to turn the affections of people’s hearts away from Christ and onto them. Their personalities and ministries and church building projects are projected in the minds of their prey so regularly, therapeutically that most people never realize it. Study Colossians 2:18-19 closely saints.

We see this happening with David and his son Absalom where his son “Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel” (2 Samuel 15:6). Absalom intercepted the affections of the hearts, directing them upon himself instead of King David. David was a type of Christ and Absalom is a type of false teachers and the antichrist. Anti means in place of. Absalom sought to put himself in place of his father David – to replace him in order to be esteemed, popular, worshipped (Colossians 2:18-19). This is what false prophets do. They get your attention, your support, and your money on them – Not Christ! (See Colossians 2:18-19.)

This is exactly what these warlocks who claim to be “God’s anointed” are doing. They are positioning themselves in the place reserved for Jesus Christ, the Head of His body. These are usurpers! They are known in that they speak endlessly of themselves, THEIR calling, THEIR status, THEIR office, THEIR anointing, THEIR ministry, THEIR stuff, THEIR family, etc. … and not Christ, the nail-scarred risen LORD, Savior, and KING of all kings! RUN NOW!

“Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, 19 And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.” Colossians 2:18-19

Jesus says He HATES the deeds and doctrines of these evil, manipulating, controlling men who pretend to be representing Him, the humble Son of God (Revelation 2:6, 15).

The Nicolaitans have invaded the modern church world. They’ve come to steal your life with Christ, to rob you of the utter joy and liberty of knowing Christ!

“Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.” 2 Corinthians 1:24

“Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.” Galatians 5:1

GOT “HATE”? … ARE YOU LISTENING? FLASH POINT: Jesus says He HATES and applauded the Ephesians for HATING the deeds of the Nicolaitans!

“But this thou hast, that thou HATEST the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also HATE.” Revelation 2:6

You may wish to find out exactly who those people – the Nicolaitans – were/are and why Jesus says He hates their deeds and doctrines.

In stark contrast to the self-elevating wolves of today’s apostate modern church world He warned us so often about, Jesus Christ, the God and Creator of all that is, came humbly to serve His Father and mankind – giving His own life for all who would come to Him and be saved into His eternal kingdom (Philippians 2).

Three times in Matthew 18 Jesus uses the term “little ones”:

“But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.” Matthew 18:6

“Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 18:10

“Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.” Matthew 18:14

Any second grader who has read a few pages in the Gospels knows that the way you treat God’s people and the poor is the way you are treating Jesus and will determine your personal judgment! (Luke 14:13, 21, etc.) The words “the poor” are found 145 times in God’s Word.

Jesus uses the term “the LEAST of these”…..

“And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. … 45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.” Matthew 25:40, 45

Jesus tells us here that He is personally offended when people refuse to help “the LEAST” of His people. Those who will be wise will find and give to the saints and ministries that are lacking and not to the greedy frauds (Acts 2:44-45; 4:32-35).

“But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.” 1 John 2:20

“But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.” 1 John 2:27

“For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.” Galatians 3:26

“There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.” Galatians 3:28

“Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.” 1 Thessalonians 5:5

Notice that “evil men” are willingly, deliberately, and “without excuse,” walking in darkness and are therefore blind (Romans 1:20).

“Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand all things.” Proverbs 28:5

Blindness is not an accident but rather the result of refusing to walk in the light of divine truth (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12).

Jesus is God’s Anointed One (Messiah)! Counterfeits seem to often talk about “touch not mine anointed” out of context! They teach this verse to their prey in order to justify what they are doing and to fend off those who see through their thin veneer.

FLASH POINT: EACH AND EVERY born again disciple of Jesus has God’s anointing – His Holy Spirit (Romans 8:9, 16; 1 John 2:20, 27, etc.). Idolaters are always attempting to defend the wolf they love more than the Savior they claim to serve! Repent!

MESSAGE RECEIVED IN DEFENSE OF JOEL OSTEEN WHO WAS BEING EXPOSED:

(In defense of Joel Osteen, this man writes) “‘Touch not mine anointed’ – Folks your spiritual ignorance will limit the Word of God in your lives…”

REPLY:

Speaking of ignorance….. you are bidding Godspeed to (condoning, defending, endorsing) an obvious false teacher which means you will be judged with this wolf. Repent. “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

It’s interesting how you condemn others (wrongly) by saying they are wrongly judging. Wow. Hypocrisy. Matt 7:1-5

ALL of God’s true people are His anointed (2 Corinthians 1:21; 1 John 2:20, 27, etc.). You are using that verse out of context.

The counterfeits among us are being exposed by who they choose to defend!

Seth Koenig writes the following to a man who touted “touch not mine anointed” when a wolf he follows was being exposed:

“You brought one Bible verse (without the reference) and out of context. The Lord’s anointed was the king of Israel (David), his prophets (Isaiah, Malachi etc.) and His priests (Aaron and his sons). This is all to point to Jesus, the Prophet, Priest and King of our faith. Joel Osteen is anything but anointed of the Lord. He may be anointed by the god of this world (Satan), but not Jesus. Sorry Neil, please reconsider. He is a wolf…and you’ll be chewed up quickly.”

On the topic of who God truly anoints, brother David G. Clifton writes:

“All saints are anointed of God. These folks some foolishly call ‘God’s anointed’ are not ‘awesome servants of the Lord.’ They are false teachers and we have a Scriptural mandate to expose false teachers. I suggest you do a serious word study on judging as it is used in the New Testament. I’d also suggest you do a study on ‘Touch not my anointed’ which is what you seem to be referring to. Anytime a minister or evangelist says, ‘Touch not God’s anointed,’ that is a sure sign that he or she is a false prophet. Pick up the Bible and check it out for yourself.”

Salvador Cruz writes:

“There are so many things preached in church buildings that are not scriptural. The star of David, the title of ‘reverend,’ false anointing, holy laughter, etc. It is imperative to study the Scriptures on our own, asking for the Holy Spirit’s guidance.”

THOSE WHO ARE KNOWN OF GOD WOULD NEVER DEFEND OR PROMOTE HIS ENEMIES!

Those who misuse the “Touch not mine anointed” verse out of context to defend a false prophet, are idolaters. You are bidding Godspeed to the enemies of God and need to repent before it’s too late because all who do so are going to hell with Jesus’ enemies! (See 2 John 10-11.) All idolaters are going to the lake of fire – “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and IDOLATERS, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death” (Revelation 21:8).

“If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine (the original Gospel, centered on the cross), receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed (do not condone): 11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.” 2 John 10-11

BETTER be careful who you are endorsing/bidding Godspeed to! Those who endorse Christ’s enemies who pose as Christian leaders are going to hell with them! We have God’s Word/promise on that! (See 2 John 10-11.) Beware of the Wolf Defenders!

Please show us all where Paul prayed for wolves. In 2 Timothy 1-4 the apostle names and marks 8 wolves – 2 per chapter. No prayer included for any wolf. Repent and get into God’s Word. Your notions and opinions are foolish.

Did Jesus pray for the Pharisees/false religious leaders He lambasted in Matthew 23? No. His mercy was poured out in the rebuke which was designed to grant them repentance. If they didn’t repent, Jesus told them three times in that chapter alone that they were going to hell.

Naming Names: Is it Biblical?

Many run and give to false ministries, bringing divine judgment on themselves for supporting the very enemies of the cross of Christ (Philippians 3:18-19; 2 John 10-11, etc.). But Jesus puts value on helping the poor, supporting His work, and the lowly of His children.

“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

Those who give to the wolves, funding the frauds who have the false anointing, are the same as the religious priest and Levite who refused to help the man who had been beaten, robbed, and left for dead. Remember Jesus’ parable of the Good Samaritan? (See Luke 10:25-37.) Counterfeits won’t support the true work of God – which involves assisting Christians in need and the preaching of the original Gospel of Christ. Yet, they gladly run to fund false teacher$.

“He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches, and HE THAT GIVETH TO THE RICH, SHALL SURELY COME TO WANT.” Proverbs 22:16

Those who give to rich, false ministries will be judged with them – they will “come to want” in the end which means they will be found wanting, lacking that which God requires to be admitted into eternal glory.

God takes it personally when someone claiming to be serving Him funds His enemies – no different than if a husband gives money to a party/person who is the sworn enemy of his own wife! (See 2 John 10-11.)

“Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?” James 2:5

One of the ways modern wolves exploit biblically ungrounded people, is to teach them the idea that they, the wolves, are God’s anointed. They do this by misusing the “Touch not mine anointed” verse – which God would certainly never apply to them because they are HIS enemies.

The reason people defend wolves is that they are not following Christ – the way HE prescribes:

IS the cross at the center of your life? If not, you are not following Jesus, friend (Luke 9:23-24). Here you go – it’s time to camp out on this original Gospel truth – without which you have no life with Christ! Think back to what it meant for you to be water baptized after Jesus saved you. WHAT did that represent? Was that not the cross Christ intended to be at the center of your life – every day of your life till you’re in Heaven? (See Romans 6:3-4)

The Cross

MESSAGE RECEIVED:

“I guess you are the only true believer.”

REPLY:

That’s a lame response Tim. How about offering some substance from SCRIPTURE. I guess Jesus, His holy apostles, and prophets, were evil for exposing the enemies of the LORD – in order to protect His sheep … who apparently don’t matter to you.

DEAR AHAB: THERE are far too many spineless moral coward “men” who are defending female preachers who are clearly false and out of order! Repent and God will forgive you of this sin and give you a holy spine. The LORD doesn’t appreciate men who are effeminate (1 Cor 6:9-10). Can you read? “But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence” (1 Timothy 2:12).

WHOSE side are you really on? There you are defending the clear, obvious enemies of Christ while you claim to be Christ’s! Delusional. Apparently you are turned over to “strong delusion” for not loving the truth of God – because you refuse to earnestly, honestly, and diligently study God’s Word for yourself. The LORD is calling you to repent at once before it’s too late!

WOLF-DEFENDING COUNTERFEITS BUSTED AND EXPOSED! Please share: Jesus came and died to save the souls that are in jeopardy of being deceived/eternally damned by the wolves you are defending! Make no mistake: You are a child of the devil himself and wouldn’t know Jesus if the Son of God stood in your face! Repent now sinner. Those who are walking in God’s love are warning in order to protect the sheep for whom Jesus bled!

You will never hear one person who hides behind the “Touch not mine anointed” verse who is soundly grounding anyone in the written Word – which is the highest final divine authority (2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:16-21).

Patrick Weir writes:

“I find myself asking about the numerous Bible prophecies about deception in the last days. What is it that people think deception is going to look like? Almost all the present-day leaders have Christian backgrounds, even if some of them were Quakers. I mean, Dallas Willard was raised Baptist. How is it that people raised in Christianity can make the choice to believe a lie? These people openly reject what the Word says. Aren’t we to hold everything up to the mirror of God’s Word? In denying Scripture, who is it that gives them their new thinking that holds preeminence over the Word? Deception is, by definition, not supposed to be obvious. The intent of deception is to trick you. So, now that they have been tricked, is fundamental Bible faith what they think last days deception looks like? Or, are they still waiting for end-times deception? Their message is that the Bible takes second place to what they insist the body of Christ must be and is being updated to. The deception is so blatantly obvious, and I find myself shaking my head at their blindness. One thing for certain. It prompts me to thank The Lord for the fundamental faith that was the foundation of my walk with Him.”

YOU’D better truly repent. If you don’t get into God’s Word daily, you prove you don’t love God enough to do so and will remain in darkness (2 Thessalonians 2:10-12).

*Letting God Speak for Himself***

“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.” Matthew 7:15

Bible truths/words you never hear from wolves: Repent, obedience, the cross – crucified life, holiness, judgment, eternal Hell, the lake of fire, being spotless and ready for Christ’s return, etc..

Many today preach the crown but not the cross, the promise without the condition. They perpetually peddle half truths as they use words like “soar” and “rise up” and “elevation,” a going upward but never the essential non-negotiable condition of going downward before God will raise one upward (Isaiah 37:31; 2 Corinthians 4:10-12). Their misleading cross-less messages are “another gospel” and we know that because there is no cross, no mention of dying downward, no crucified life (2 Corinthians 11:2-5; Galatians 1:6-9; Philippians 3:18-19). The LORD will raise no one upward who doesn’t first humbly bow downward before His Majestic holiness (Luke 9:23-24; James 4:6-10). | Myth of Elevation without the Cross

“MANY pastors have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness. 11 They have made it desolate, and being desolate it mourneth unto me; the whole land is made desolate, because no man layeth it to heart.” Jeremiah 12:10-11

Were we not warned repeatedly to beware of those who would spoil us (ruin us eternally)?

This “famine” is here and has been induced by the “MANY false prophets” Jesus and His apostles foretold (Amos 8:11; Matthew 24:11; Isaiah 9:16; 2 Peter 2:1-3, etc.).

“Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:” Amos 8:11

Self-induced “famine”: Those rebels who refuse to repent and get into God’s Word for themselves are starved out and deceived by the false gospel of the apostate modern church world. In contrast, every true disciple will study God’s Word diligently for themselves and feast in the midst of this prophesied “famine” for the Word of God.

“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15

PAUL GAVE LITTLE PLACE TO FALSE LEADERS (GALATIANS 2:4-5). THEY ARE TO BE IDENTIFIED, REBUKED, REJECTED, AND MARKED UNLESS THEY REPENT (ROMANS 16:17-18; TITUS 1:13).

Jesus warned:

“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening (devouring) wolves.” Matthew 7:15

The false leaders Christ speaks of here would have all the trappings of a true Christian leader so as not to be detected. But the true remnant cling to Christ and therefore His Word and are thereby able to discern (Ezekiel 44:23).

“The majority has always believed the lies, gone the wrong way, never changed, and suffered great devastation. The pattern is repeated every third or fourth generation. People warning them are always considered alarmist or fools (conspiracy theorists). But God ordains faithful people. They will not cease to warn them until repentance is no longer an option.” C.

Paul Speaking to the Ephesians

“Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men. 27 For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God. 28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. 29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. 30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. 31 Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears. 32 And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.” Acts 20:27-32

God’s Word informs us that Christ’s true servant-elders WILL TEACH God’s people to discern by weighing all against the standard of the Word of God (Ezekiel 44:23; Acts 17:10-11; 1 John 4:1, etc.). Therefore we know that any man in leadership not teaching people to discern between the holy and profane, between true and false, is himself a wolf!

“Even the very elect! We need to be guarding our hearts every moment because the devil loves an idle mind.” Charles Pray

“DISCERN”

“And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.” Ezekiel 44:23

For a moment, let’s explore what true ministry is so that we can see what is not true ministry. Perhaps one good definition of what true ministry is would be: Giving people God’s Word in order to endear them to Him by His very own words. Is not the divine Person of the Holy Spirit integrally involved in that exchange? Did He not orchestrate it?

Watch closely at what the elders of Israel did when they stood before the people:

“So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly (directly, literally), and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading.” Nehemiah 8:8

Truly God-fearing servants of Christ get people into HIS Word so that they follow Him and not them – mere men. Note that in this important passage in Nehemiah 8, we see the principle for leadership: Leading the souls of men to Christ, not to self.

Those who flatter you by refusing to preach the absolute necessity of repenting, taking up the cross daily and following Jesus…. Are setting you up for the kill …. You may vainly believe that it’s all fun and games now but judgment is coming if you don’t repent and diligently study and adhere to the whole counsel of God’s Word. When you do truly repent, you will no long put yourself under a smooth talking wolf who refuses to preach the whole counsel of the original Gospel of Christ (Isaiah 30:9-10; 2 Timothy 4:2-4).

“A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his feet.” Proverbs 29:5

All ministers who soft peddle and do not endeavor to unapologetically declare the whole counsel of God’s Word, are deceivers. Run.

JUST because a preacher has a few good quotes does NOT at all mean he’s not a false teacher. If he has one false doctrine, he is false. Speaking of false doctrine, Paul wrote: “A little leaveneth the WHOLE lump” (Galatians 5:9). Example: There are many teachers/pastors of old who left behind good quotes and yet were false teachers. Examples would include the often quoted wolf C.S. Lewis, the diabolical monstrostity John Calvin, and the vile legalist Charles Finney. Also, there are many today who say a lot of good things and yet, then you find out they believe calvinism or the lie of eternal security/OSAS. Run.

One minister of Christ declared:

“People think that because I skin the brethren alive when I preach, that I’m not showing any love. That’s because they’ve been brainwashed by the glass toilet (the TV), and they respond to the tone of my voice much as my German Shepherd would. But I do love the brethren. If I didn’t, I wouldn’t preach against their sins. I would preach on coping and sharing and family values and let them hit a bonfire at the Judgment Seat of Christ.”

Think about how many people are promoting THEIR ministries and how much money is wasted on such trash.

“For THE LEADERS of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.” Isaiah 9:16

Leaders who betray the LORD and His people.

Remember that according to the record of the Gospels, it was the wicked religious leaders, the Jews of Christ’s day, who betrayed the Son of God their KING to the Roman authorities, calling out for His crucifixion (Matthew 27; John 19, etc.).

The kingdom of God is not about mere men’s ministries or churches or church organizations. Reading the history of Israel and the New Testament plainly reveals that false leaders have done inestimable damage – they have done so very much to oust Christ right out of the hearts and minds of the people they are misleading while posing as those who are leading them in the ways of the LORD (Isaiah 9:16).

“And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer (true worship); but ye have made it a den of thieves.” Matthew 21:13

Today is no different – In fact we are told it will get even worse in these final days at the hands of deceivers (2 Timothy 3:13). Like the wolves of old who were constantly exposed by Israel’s prophets, modern beguilers are intercepting the heart affections and resources of those they have misled. Listen to God’s prophet Ezekiel:

“There is a conspiracy of her prophets (false leaders) in the midst thereof, like a roaring lion ravening (devouring) the prey; they have devoured souls; they have taken the treasure and precious things; they have made her many widows in the midst thereof. 26 Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shewed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them. 27 Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening (devouring) the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain.” Ezekiel 22:25-27

Ready to Magnify Christ?

“O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.” Psalms 34:3

The eternal kingdom of God is all about KING Jesus.

“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 (ruin) 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 … Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, 19 And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.” Colossians 2:6-10, 18, 19

Most men in ministry are “not holding the Head” of the body – Christ – and therefore have intercepted the affections of the people in order to exploit them to build their own ministry business.

Any leader who is not constantly doing every possible thing he can to get YOU into God’s Word for yourself, is an absolute wolf of the worst kind.

Revelation: People don’t need you and me – they need the LORD – and He reveals Himself through His Word.

Christ must be magnified, not mere men – “And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another” (1 Corinthians 4:6).

IT’S SO very important not to over aggrandize any mere man. We must rid our hearts of all idols (Ezekiel 14:3). The personality cults must be seen for what they really are and shunned by Christ’s true remnant. Think about the personalities so many (most) modern popular ministries are built upon? Think about the ingratiating, manipulative, and flamboyant personalities of circus clowns like Jesse Duplantis, Joel Osteen, and Joyce Meyer, Rick Warren, and a host of other false leaders who have built their enterprises/empires on THEIR own personalities and telling people what THEIR unrepentant hearts want to hear instead of what God says in the full counsel of His Holy Word (2 Timothy 4:2-4). Others we could name are more subtle and yet nevertheless draw people to THEMSELVES, not Christ! This is robbery – robbing Christ of the glory due only to Himself.

The great apostle went out of his way – he made sure and steadfast provision – to never draw or entice the affections of men’s hearts to himself. That would be theft – high treason against Heaven. In the holy fear of God, Paul took great precaution not to endear the hearts of men to himself, a mere man, but rather he espoused them to Christ (2 Corinthians 11:2-5). Listen to him:

“For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.” 1 Corinthians 2:2

Have you memorized the above verse yet?

“I Have Espoused You to … Christ”

Let’s again listen closely to the heart of Paul to the people of God, Christ’s messenger/apostle:

“For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. 3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. 4 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. 5 For I suppose I was not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles. 6 But though I be rude in speech, yet not in knowledge; but we have been throughly made manifest among you in all things. 7 Have I committed an offence in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I have preached to you the gospel of God freely?” 2 Corinthians 11:2-7

Paul espoused those he oversaw to Jesus, not to himself. He caused them to trust Christ through His blessed Word and invited others to compare what he taught to the Holy Scriptures (Acts 17:11; 2 Timothy 2:15; 3:15-17). Is this what your pastor is doing?

In a recent conversation with my friend Tim, he was edified to hear the encouragement that every time he gets someone into the Word of God for themselves, he is doing much more than most pastors or “Christian” authors who make people dependent upon them – so that they get repeat customers for their business.

Are you in the Word daily friend?

How can God’s Word get into you if you don’t get into it?

Are you drawing and remaining close to the Savior in this late hour like the wise virgins who kept the oil of His presence in the lamp of their lives and were therefore ready when He returned? (Matthew 25:1-13)

“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly (abundantly) in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.” Colossians 3:16

The Myth of Elevation without the Cross [podcast]

THE CROSS: Know it. Live it. Preach it. God will never lift up those who stand in their pride but only those who bow before Him in humility (Psalms 145:14; James 4:6-10, etc.). Running to a “revival” is not the answer. The reason people run to a “revival” is due to their refusal to deny self, take up the cross daily, and thereby be re-vived (filled with life!) daily – experiencing the resurrection of Christ each day in their personal lives as God has ordained (Luke 9:23-24; 2 Corinthians 4:10-12). A cross-less life is a life of defeat. A life in […]

Is Loving God Enough? Must We Fear Him? [podcast]

Often, I’ve heard seminarians and modern “Christians” reject the biblical concept, the divine command to fear God. Both loving God and fearing God are divine commands (Ecclesiastes 12:13; Matthew 22:37-39; Luke 12:4-5, etc.). Yet we must ask: Is loving God enough? Is loving the LORD all we need to do? Will saying we love God keep you out of sin? It’s a nice platitude, yet this is false humility. Trite. Holiness by way of the fear of the Lord is an essential to remaining, abiding in Christ. May God instill in the depth of our being His holy fear […]

Why Did God Give Us His Word? [podcast]

The 4 Pillar Purposes for the Holy Scriptures

There are 4 reasons detailed in 2 Timothy 3:16 for the Holy Scriptures being given to us by God. Under the inspiration of the Holy Ghost, the apostle Paul wrote:

“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.” 2 Timothy 3:16

According to this verse, the Bible, God’s very Word, has been given to the people of God for 4 reasons: Doctrine, reproof, correction, and instruction in righteousness. Let us take a brief look at these 4 reasons for the written Word so carefully presented here concerning the very purpose of the Bible.

Doctrine – (Gr. DIDASKALIA): that which is taught; teaching, instruction. An individual’s doctrinal body of truth consists of that which he has been taught and holds to be true.

Reproof – (Gr. ELEGMOS): proof, proving, test. As the noble Berean believers demonstrate and John commands, to test every doctrine that comes from the mouth or pen of men, against the holy Standard – the Scriptures. This is, in part, what is being spoken to us by the Holy Spirit in this verse at hand. Therefore, we conclude that we have been given “All scripture” in order to exercise “reproof,” or the testing of men’s doctrines against Holy Writ and to test every notion of belief we currently hold against the divine standard of the written Word which is final divine authority (Acts 17:10-11; 1 John 4:1).

Correction – (Gr. EPANORTHOSIS): a restoration to an upright state or right state. The Scriptures are “given by inspiration of God” to bring correction into our own hearts, and into the hearts of all who heed the divine message (James 1:21-25).

Instruction in Righteousness – (Gr. PAIDEIA): training in righteousness is what is meant here. The Bible is given to train us in the ways of the One who inspired the same. The divinely given Precepts of life can never fail anyone who would search out and do its commands (Isaiah 34:16). All of life’s answers, as pertains to man, are found within its pages (2 Peter 1:3-4; Psalms 119:128a). Millions of godly pilgrims, journeying through this earthly life, has found the perfect divine will and direction by studying the words of Holy Scripture (Psalms 119).

The verse following this monumental 16th verse, v17, also reveals to us another reason for the Scriptures – “That the man of God may be perfect (mature), throughly furnished (equipped) unto all good works.” This maturity will come as a result of the workings of God as we walk with Him. He will teach our hearts His doctrine, His correction, His reproof, and instruct us in righteousness.

In review, what are the 4 reasons that God gave us His Word in written form?

doctrine
reproof
correction
instruction in righteousness

The Bible was written to CHANGE you – TO CORRECT FALSE THINKING – and not to accommodate the lies you believe. Are you washing your mind of every false notion – by daily study of God’s Word, OR are you backslidden? (Romans 12:2; Ephesians 5:26) Repent now and conform to Christ by learning, embracing, adhering to, searching, studying, and obeying His truth (2 Timothy 3:16-17). WHY DID GOD GIVE US HIS WORD? WHAT are the stated 4 reasons God gave us His Word? Do you know this truth, and are you ready to share it with others?

You are obviously saved when you are putting God’s Word as final divine authority of your life and that’s pleasing to the LORD (John 8:47). When we allow God’s Word to correct us, we prove He is authentically the LORD of our lives (2 Timothy 3:16).

SOFT-PEDDLING, HALF-TRUTH preachers are Satan’s agents. No conviction, no cross, no holiness, no repentance, no readiness for the return of Christ, no judgment to come, no hell, no lake of fire! RUNNNNNN

WHY did God give us His Word? It was to establish His truth in and to protect His people from the many deceivers – “them that seduce you.”

“These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.” 1 John 2:26

God gave us His Word so that we may be established in him and kept safe from the “Many false prophets” He so often warned us about. He provided His written Word, his tangible revelation, so that we may fear Him (Deuteronomy 4:10), and so we can know Him (John 5:39). As you study Scripture, be on the look out for the many divinely stated reasons our LORD gave us His written Word.

Beloved saint, will you now teach these Bible truths to others? Share this.

Memory Verse: 2 Timothy 3:16

God gave us His Word in written format so they’d be no confusion and also, no excuse on Judgment Day (John 12:48; Romans 2:16; 1 Corinthians 14:33; 2 Timothy 3:16-17, etc.). The Word of God is the basis by which the LORD shall judge each of us.

“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15

“Read your Bible for yourself. Please. A YouTube sermon clip is not enough. A podcast is not enough. Your favorite preacher is not enough. Know your Bible.” Biblical Man

“Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read: no one of these shall fail…” Isaiah 34:16

Read God’s Word itself, yourself (KJB). THAT is God speaking. Every time you read His Word, God is speaking to you.

In Christ’s Love.

If it’s not the Word, it’s Waste [podcast]

Nourished Up in God’s Word [podcast]

Christ’s true followers are known in that they love Him truly and therefore hear and are corrected and guided only by His voice, His written Word (John 8:47).

“He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.” John 8:47

God will Never Anoint and Bless Us to do our Own Thing! Watch this Closely …..

“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

Did you catch what Jesus just said? – That God is with His people to the end of the world to help them do what He said – teach His Word to all!

LOTS of people on social media claiming and preaching their own visions and dreams and not the Gospel! Beware.

When I hear someone speaking live or in a video, if the Word is not coming from their mouths, I soon close it out and unfriend. What is it that we don’t understand about the divine command to “Preach the word”? (2 Timothy 4:2) Wolves entertain goats while true under-shepherds of Christ feed sheep. Beware.

IF we stick with God’s Word, if we do things His way and no other way, we will be involved in the preaching, the teaching – dissemination – of His Word (Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15-20).

“That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus. 7 For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother.” Philemon 1:6-7

“The bowels of the saints are refreshed” when God’s people communicate His Word!

The Waste of the Modern Church World

If you are born again and abiding presently in Christ, you have “mansion” in glory awaiting you! (John 14:1-6) Did you know that you also have an “account” in Heaven? Now, what’s in that “account”? Is it empty or full?

“Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.” Philippians 4:17

Paul, Christ’s apostle, wanted to see the heavenly accounts of God’s people full!

God is not going to reward you good for not contributing to that which He stated is most important.

ANY leadership curriculum that isn’t literally the Scriptures – and learning THEM – is a scam! (Psalm 119; 2 Timothy 2:15; 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:20-21, etc.) How long shall prop of the wolves and their self-agenda “ministries”? How long shall we be be deceived?

“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15

“Read your Bible for yourself. Please. A YouTube sermon clip is not enough. A podcast is not enough. Your favorite preacher is not enough. Know your Bible.” Biblical Man

“Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read: no one of these shall fail…” Isaiah 34:16

Read God’s Word itself, yourself (KJB). THAT is God speaking. Every time you read His Word, God is speaking to you.

Today we see LOTS of clowns raising money to continue to fund their circuses they have and are building using the name of Jesus in vain to do so (Exodus 20:7).

Looking around us and perhaps beginning with our own lives, we see a biblically illiterate generation of Christians – people who can’t quote 10 Bible verses. Yet, those same people have been good church members for many years.

“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge…” Hosea 4:6

The vast majority of “churches” today are simply not teaching God’s Word to the people which alone makes them disobedient frauds. Fruit.

“They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.” Titus 1:16

If you help a “ministry” that is not instilling God’s truth in people, you are bidding Godspeed to these workers of iniquity and will be judged with them (2 John 10-11). The teaching of God’s Word is paramount and for the divine purpose for the advancement of Christ’s kingdom in the hearts of men (Colossians 3:16).

“And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that came in unto him, 31 Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him.” Acts 28:30-31

Many today campaign aggressively to raise money for and promote things that do not involve the communication of God’s truth into the hearts of men. In fact, very little “ministry” being done today even has the unchanging divine goal of instilling God’s Word into the hearts and lives of His people. God will only reward that which is in keeping with what He’s clearly stated – which will never change. His New Testament Gospel program is plain. Are you walking in it?

“Preach the gospel.” (Mark 16:15)
“Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you.” (Matthew 28:18-20)
“Preach the word.” (2 Timothy 4:2)
“Let the word of Christ dwell in your richly (abundantly).” (Colossians 3:16)

Saints, God forbid that we waste the wealth on the waste of spreading the false modern gospel and the trinkets used to promote it!

If it’s a ministry and they’re not the teaching of God’s Word, it’s not of God (John 8:47).

“Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word.” Acts 8:4

If people are not literally learning and obeying and speaking God’s truth, it’s not of God! (Joshua 1:8; Proverbs 12:17)

The “Success” of Christ’s Saints Depends on This….

“This book of the law (God’s written Word) shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.” Joshua 1:8

Can you personally name just 5 “Christians” you know who can quote 10 Bible verses from the King James Bible?

I can’t.

The Danger of Endorsing – Bidding Godspeed – to False Teachers, False Ministries

“For MANY deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. 8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. 9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. 10 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 7-11

Please forgive me of this sin Father, in Jesus’ name. I love You Jesus. Thank You for dying for me, for finding, and for saving me by Your blood. In Jesus’ name, amen.
