“Touch Not Mine Anointed” – In Context!

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

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).

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.

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).
