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).
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.
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)
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).

The Purpose of Elders in Christ’s Body [podcast]
There is no more important work transpiring in the earth today than the work of the Gospel of Jesus Christ (Matthew 9:35-38; 28:18-20; Ephesians 4:11-15; 1 Peter 5:1-6, etc.).
“Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, 21 Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.” Hebrews 13:20-21
In short, the authentic under-shepherd ordained of Jesus Himself (John 15:16), will give up his life in this fleeting world for the sheep of Christ – just as the Great Shepherd of the sheep did on the cross. Such a divinely called-out man, will teach only God’s pure Word and watch for the souls of the LORD’s people (Hebrews 13:7, 17). He will take up the cross – live the crucified life – and therefore ministry will not be about them but rather about Jesus and His beloved sheep for whom He shed His blood and is soon returning (Philippians 3:17-21).
Also in Hebrews 13 …. The true elder of Christ will, according to Hebrews 13, do two things:
- Speak the pure Word of God to you and get you into it:
“Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation (their way of life).” Hebrews 13:7
2. Will in the fear of God pray for and “watch for your soul.”
“Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.” Hebrews 13:17
In review, just WHAT are the earmark fruits of true under-shepherds as opposed to the many wolves among us?
- True under shepherds relentlessly teach God’s Word – “who have spoken unto you the word of God.” (Hebrews 13:7)
- They are there for you! – “they watch for your souls.” (Hebrews 13:7)
IF they aren’t preaching God’s pure Word to you, fearing God, not you…. and watching for your eternal soul, they are wolves in sheep’s clothing. Repent and run to Jesus beloved.
Let me add that if they are using a fake “bible” instead of the King James Bible, that should be a clue to the darkness they walk in (Matthew 7:16, 20).
Elders are ordained of God and yet never to take His place nor to negate our own personal responsibility to seek God daily for ourselves. Yet, we do not need a preacher. Why? – because we each have a Bible. Read it. We don’t need a preacher to tell us what the Bible says! Read it for yourself, learning of the LORD yourself. Today is your day to take personal responsibility to seek God for yourself! Stop depending on a preacher or preachers. Devour God’s Word daily. Jesus taught personal responsibility and the essential nature of it when He said “Take heed to yourselves” (Luke 21:34-36) …… Paul instructed Timothy to “Study” the Word (2 Timothy 2:15).
Today we have all around us church-goers who are not possessed with a heart after God, do not diligently study and read and live out Christ’s Word. This lukewarm, world-loving fruit clearly reveals the prophesied priesthood of wolves (1 Chronicles 16:11; Psalms 27:4, 8; Matthew 24:11; Acts 13:22; 2 Timothy 3:13; 1 John 4:1, etc.). Until a pastor has provoke you to get into God’s Word for yourself, to seeking His holy face daily in prayer, he has failed. If has has diligently, biblically sought to do these essentials, and people have refused God’s Word, refused to seek His holy face continually, the blood is off of his hands (Ezekiel 3:18-20).
“When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. 19 Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul. 20 Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand.” Ezekiel 3:18-20
When you check the fruit of a fellowship, check, discern if the individual saints are vibrant in Christ, diligently seeking His holy face, in His Word, living a life of prayer, denying self, taking up the cross daily, and following Jesus. This sounds like what we see of the earliest saints in the book of Acts, right? Boom. Remember how Peter preached and 8,000 were saved and how the Berean believers put Paul’s teaching to the Scriptural test? (Acts 2-4; 17:10-11, etc.).
Sadly, usually you see a bunch of people who are proud to be a member of a church with none of the biblical fruit list above.
The apostle Paul kept a close watch on those he oversaw.
“For this cause, when I could no longer forbear, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter have tempted you, and our labour be in vain.” 1 Thessalonians 3:5
Having a physical “church” building makes no mere man, no supposed elder, an official representative of Heaven. Feeding the sheep of Christ with His pure Word and equipping them “for the work of the ministry” is the mark of a true under-shepherd of Christ (John 21:15-17; Ephesians 4:11-12, etc.). Discern. Beware. Inspect the fruit. Jesus nor any of His holy apostles collected a penny to build a building called “church.” No, they went to the people – to serve them instead of having the people come to them.
Let’s test that…. How many people do you personally know who are good church members, Sunday morning church attenders, and ALSO true, daily disciples whom God is using everywhere they go? Think about that…. How many true disciples of Jesus do you know who are involved in a Sunday morning church program? If you personally know even one true disciple, that’s a miracle and in spite of his attendance at the Sunday morning circus called “church.”
Unlike Christ’s apostle Paul, most in leadership today foster in their prey a dependence on THEM and their church business instead of prayerfully, biblically exhorting people to depend on Jesus (1 Corinthians 1:29-2:5).
Like Christ’s apostle Paul, the true elder labors relentlessly to see you grounded in Christ – not in him or his ministry or church, but in CHRIST! Listen closely:
“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.” Colossians 2:6-7
It simply doesn’t matter what else he’s doing, if any minister is not prayerfully, biblically, perpetually rooting and grounding you in Christ, he’s a fraud. Run.
Like Jesus and His holy apostle Paul, part of grounding you ever more deeper in Christ, is warning you to “beware” of the “many false prophets.” (Matthew 24:11)
“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 2:8-10
SO, he’s not exhorting and admonishing you to seek and know the LORD in an ever deepening fashion? He’s not equipping, maturing you “for the work of the ministry” and yet you still consider him one of the LORD’s under-shepherds? He’s not getting YOU into the Word (2 Timothy 2:15) for yourself? That’s a false leader who is entertaining the goats instead of feeding and equipping the saints! Run! (See Ephesians 4:11-15; 1 Peter 5:1-6, etc.)
False leaders divert the attention, the heart affections, the resources, and the energy of God’s people away from Christ and simple obedience to His Great Commission mandate. YOU are personally responsible! Waste is rampant! If you support, “bid God speed” (2 John 7-11) to a false leader, false ministry, then you will perish with them!
The divine purpose for elders is not to dominate nor entertain the LORD’s sheep but rather to help their joy in Christ! Get to know this verse saints:
“Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.” 2 Corinthians 1:24
There is the citing of elders in the Word and their divine purpose – to humbly serve God by helping His sheep grow in the knowledge and grace of Christ (Ephesians 4:11-15; 1 Peter 5:1-6).
Christ’s apostle Paul desired the “perfection” (maturity in Christ) of the people of God (Ephesians 4:11-15).
“For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish, even your perfection.” 2 Corinthians 13:9
Like Apollos, Elders among God’s people must remain teachable to God’s Word and simply and only teach and preach his word (Proverbs 9:9; Acts 18:26). Elders true to the LORD act on his behalf and never out of a personal agenda for self gain (2 Corinthians 3:5; 4:5, etc.). They live the crucified life (Galatians 2:20).
We are to humble ourselves like Apollos did and learn the way of our God more perfectly from each other, via God’s Word – as Apollos learned it more fully from Aquila and Priscilla (Acts 18:24-28).
Beloved Apollos was a very effective, anointed communicator of God’s Word and yet, was in need of maturing, of being perfected. So, God sent to him an elder and his wife, Aquila and Priscilla. Apollos humbly received the LORD’s elders and His grace to grow in Christ:
“And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus. 25 This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John. 26 And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly.” Acts 18:24-26
The vast majority of “churches” that meet in “church buildings” are simply and merely conducting “church services” where they entertain their prey. They are not equipping the saints for the work of the ministry and therefore discerned as being counterfeit (Ephesians 4:11-13). If they were, there would be salty disciples in their midst who go forth to minister Christ’s kingdom blessings wherever they go. Not even a trace of this transpiring in the apostate modern church world. Run. Run. Run.
The Purpose of Kingdom Elders:
“And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 For the perfecting (equipping, maturing) of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:” Ephesians 4:11-12
Philip Lye writes: “Paul says in Ephesians 4, that he gave some to be apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers. He expressly says these people are given to mature the saints, to equip them for their ministry and growth in Jesus Christ. Jesus tells us in Matthew 24 that many false prophets and messiahs will arise deceiving many. They are simply functions that God has given and not titles which the proud use to strut about like a peacock. Most of these people that I have met (and I have seen a lot of famous ones) are false, proud and arrogant and not servants of the the Lord Jesus Christ. I have seen humble genuine ones who move mightily in truth, calling people to repentance and right relationship with Jesus and a demonstration of genuine miracles and wonders. They are to be genuine servants to God’s people.”
VIEW this following verse from Solomon’s day in light of our calling and work till Christ returns:
“Now all the work of Solomon was prepared unto the day of the foundation of the house of the LORD, and until it was finished. So the house of the LORD was perfected.” 2 Chronicles 8:16
Let’s read a larger portion of this important passage in Ephesians 4. God fearing under-shepherds must prayerfully labor for and be intent upon seeing God’s people grow in the grace of Christ to the full stature of maturity He has ordained!
“And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: 14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:” Ephesians 4:11-15
The Error of Using Titles in the Modern Church World
God sovereignly and exclusively ordained MEN to feed, lead, and equip His saints (Ephesians 4:8-11). Women are called to and seen doing many ministry functions in the New Testament but never as a leader in a position specifically designated in Scripture for men.
Repent. The American “church” is a catastrophe of spineless moral-coward Ahabs who’ve allowed, suffered women to lead, and the fall out is incalculable (Revelation 2:20-24).
GOD’s men must never allow women to lead where they (men) are called to lead (1 Timothy 2:12; 3:2; Revelation 2:20-24).
To put yourself under the ministry of a woman who is acting as an elder among God’s people, is to defy Christ, and to agree with Christ’s arch enemy and his Jezebels and to bring severe destruction on the people of God (1 Timothy 2:12; 3:2; Revelation 2:20-24).
JUST because a woman can run her mouth and even genuinely have a gift of the Spirit DOES NOT mean she’s an elder in the body of Christ – which is divinely reserved non-negotiably for men, male elders (1 Timothy 2:11-12; 3:2). | Beware of Scripture-Twisting Jezebels
We must humbly confess before our LORD and God that we have nothing and are nothing without Him!
“I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.” John 15:5
God can use us in spite of having a seminary or Bible college background…. If we will truly denounce it, lay it all down, and truly submit to Him – just like Paul did (Philippians 3). Otherwise we will join the epidemic of false prophets who build their own kingdoms in this fleeting life and spend eternity in hell (2 Peter 2:1-3). Paul counted his “higher education” as “dung” to know and serve Christ (Philippians 3).
BIBLICALLY SPEAKING, BY DEFINITION, ELDERS ARE NOT SEMINARIANS (UNLESS THEY’VE DENOUNCED SUCH) BUT RATHER PROVEN MEN OF GOD WHO HAVE WALKED WITH CHRIST FOR SOME TIME AND ARE SEASONED IN DOCTRINE AND GODLY CHARACTER AND ABLE TO HELP ASSIST OTHER BELIEVERS GROW IN GRACE (Philippians 3).
In part, we can be transformed in our thinking/perspective of what leaders are seen to be in the apostate modern church vs the biblical definition of an elder which is a humble servant with sound doctrine and a godly life (1 Timothy 3; 2 Timothy 3:10; Titus 1-2, etc.).
Christ’s kingdom ordination is not like the ordinations of many denominations….. To ordain seems to mean to recognize the work of GOD in a man’s life and to set him forth into ministry as by the leading of the Spirit of God.
“Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.” John 15:16
ORDAIN
G5087
τίθημι
tithēmi
tith’-ay-mee
A prolonged form of a primary word θέω theō (which is used only as an alternate in certain tenses); to place (in the widest application, literally and figuratively; properly in a passive or horizontal posture, and thus different from G2476, which properly denotes an upright and active position, while G2749 is properly reflexive and utterly prostrate): – + advise, appoint, bow, commit, conceive, give, X kneel down, lay (aside, down, up), make, ordain, purpose, put, set (forth), settle, sink down.
Total KJV occurrences: 96
“Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. 2 As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them. 3 And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.” Acts 13:1-3
Denominations of mere men set their elders forth to do THEIR bidding, to perpetuate their own cause and existence, to build their false church businesse$. God fearing assemblies of the saints simply recognize Christ’s work in a man and prayerfully send him forth to do GOD’s work. They worship and exalt Christ whole heartedly!
MINISTRY is about feeding sheep, not entertaining goats (John 21:15-17). So, when you see a “minister” entertaining, you know he himself is a goat (1 Corinthians 1:29-2:5).
What True Elders Teach
“For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake.” 2 Corinthians 4:5
THERE is nothing good in us except Christ. We are not featured but JESUS is. “We preach CHRIST crucified” (1 Cor 1:23). All our righteousnesses are as filthy rags and HE is the One and only righteous Redeemer whom we communicate to others (1 Cor 9:16; Rom 7:18 etc.).
Jesus’ true disciples are crucified vessels who preach with His authority, unlike the lame leaders we have today (Matthew 7:28-29). True Gospel preaching rocks the world of those who hear it – it never coddles people in their sin. That’s the work of wolves! Beware!
Godly Elders Teach God’s People to 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
Why don’t some leaders teach discernment?
“Anyone that profits off of you being blind, will never teach you or inspire you to see.” unknown
Any man in leadership who doesn’t warn you of false prophets as did Christ and His apostles, is a wolf who does not want you to see who he truly is.
God’s people are to continue to learn to discern – to test, to weigh all things against Holy Scripture. Ungodly elders have the “I said it so it’s true” notion. Or the “We’ve always taught that” or “That’s what we believe” philosophy. Not. What saith the Scriptures is what every true follower of Jesus asks, as he searches God’s Word to ascertain truth. Every student of Christ should become extremely familiar with Acts 17:10-11.
QUESTION RECEIVED:
“I am curious as to how one man is considered the other’s elder? Do they attend the same church gathering thus, he is a church elder or is it through willful submission of the younger as an understudy or simply due to the fact that one man is older?”
REPLY:
Great question brother. Elder, biblically seems to mean older and more seasoned in God’s Word, having walked with the LORD longer. Two views come to mind: 1. The organic body of Christ, the kingdom relationships we have, where there appear men in our lives who are seasoned and there’s an automatic elder/young relationship (that’s how it is here)… and 2. Where a person attends a church group and they have their elder in a more organized fashion as you mentioned…. that help?
Nothing brings definition to this like God’s Word as you know…. and notice how it begins with “The elders which are AMONG you”….
“The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed: 2 Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; 3 Neither as being lords over God’s heritage, but being ensamples to the flock. 4 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away. 5 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. 6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:” 1 Peter 5:1-6

Apostasy
Sorcery, Pharmakeia
Originally written by Allegra Spaulding (edited)
This is the Devil’s COUNTERFEIT of the natural healing herbs that the Lord has provided for us.
“And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.” Genesis 1:29
We choose what tree we will eat from……
If we eat from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, then we are receiving demonic knowledge. This is the knowledge from the fallen angels. This is the source of Pharmakeia.
“This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.” James 3:15
Babylon is the epicenter of this witchcraft.
“And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee (Babylon); and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries (Pharmakeia), were all nations deceived.” Revelation 18:23
Babylon is introducing the Beast System of Medicine. The trial run was the Covid 19 agenda which has killed millions of people through blood clots, turbo cancers, and heart failure. It was SORCERY against the nations conducted through the spirit of Pharmakeia, which includes the witchcraft spirits of Control and Intimidation. People were forced to take a vac-c-ine in order to keep their jobs to feed their families. With devastating consequences. The third leading cause of death in the United States is medical procedures and pharmeseuticals (pharmakeia).
The Lord is calling us out of the system of Pharmakeia. He wants us to repent and separate ourselves.
“And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.” Revelation 18:4
There is a judgment coming upon the spirit of Pharmakeia and we do not want to be entangled with it.
“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
PHARMAKEUS translates to: a drug, i.e. spell-giving potion; a druggist (“pharmacist”) or poisoner, i.e. (by extension) a magician:—sorcerer.
We have better promises. We can feast on the Tree of Life for our medicine.
“And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine.” Ezekiel 47:12
It’s time to get healthy and come out of the Babylonian Medical System. Shall we begin with prayer?
Lord Jesus, I repent for seeking the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil for knowledge about my health. I know that You have supplied for all of my needs through natural herbs and the leaves of the Tree of Life. You are the Tree of Life. In Jesus’ name.
May the ungodly soul-ties between myself and the spirit of Pharmakeia be broken now in Jesus’ name. May all the ungodly soul-ties between myself and the medical system, hospitals, doctors, and nurses be broken now in Jesus’ name.
May every curse spoken over this life You gave regarding sickness be broken and cancelled with every medical diagnosis, in Jesus’ name.
Thank You LORD Jesus that according to the Word of God, by Your stripes I am healed! And as I seek Your wisdom and Your knowledge that comes from Heaven.
Lord, please give me wisdom about food intake, about my lifestyle, and about these choices so that I can receive divine health. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
“And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. 2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.” Revelation 22:1-2
“Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the table of devils.” 1 Corinthians 10:21
“And he said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, Forasmuch as thou hast sent messengers to enquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron, is it not because there is no God in Israel to enquire of his word? therefore thou shalt not come down off that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.” 2 Kings 1:16
