“WHO will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?” Psalms 94:16

The vast majority of those who fill books and pulpits in this apostate age are “evildoers.” They are hirelings which means they are not in the ministry for the Great Shepherd of the sheep, but rather for their own self-serving gain (Philippians 3:18-19; Hebrews 13:20).

Courage or cowardice? WHAT shall it be?

Paul the apostle declared:

“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.” Acts 20:27-28

Here this great apostle of Christ refers to the fact that he personally delivered to the Ephesian believers “ALL the counsel of God.” He then instructs the elders in Ephesus “to feed the church of God.”

Un-repentant, sin-justifying compromisers want to act like we don’t have a Bible – to deny that God, the Judge, has spoken. So these children of Satan attempt to shut down the messengers of truth! Steam roll them with God’s Word and authority saints – “Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.” (2 Timothy 4:2) ! SMH What ever we read in the Bible is from the JUDGE and if you don’t believe that, you are “not of God” according to Christ (John 8:47).

God-fearing men of Christ-like valor have never been so rare and desperately needed as they are needed today – men who are “valiant for the truth” and willing to brave the elements of strife, railing, and persecution “for the word’s sake.” (Mark 4:17; Jeremiah 9:3)

“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

Never has there been a day in which there is a greater need for Christ’s disciples to rise up and to preach and teach the great doctrines of Holy Scripture. In our generation, the tragic failure to teach and dispense the doctrine of Holy Writ has left a shattered, parched, and biblical illiterate people who vainly call themselves the church of Jesus. The catastrophic threat to untold souls these last few decades has been the failure of leadership to preach the Word instantly, in season and out of season (2 Timothy 4:2). No, instead they have become the prophesied last day wolves who entertain goats instead of feeding the flock of God (Matthew 7:15; 24:5, 11, 24; 2 Timothy 4:2-4).

It can only be concluded that the men who now fill the pulpits and media in America are themselves biblically illiterate. They themselves do not know the great teachings of the Bible and the stories of the men and women who truly served the LORD throughout history.

Who is it that will dig in and rise up – to dig in by eating, devouring, memorizing, meditating upon, and preaching the words of God?

“Strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers. 15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:14-15

There is no light to bright and foreboding as the Word of eternal truth and to not teach it is to deprive this whole generation of souls who will left to sulk, to sit and to sink further into darkness. In former days, brave men who feared God rose up and obeyed the LORD in feeding His flock, a command to godly men of every generation.

“The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it.” Psalms 68:11

The need is for men who will daily search, memorize, and meditate upon the great truths of the Counsel of the LORD and to begin to teach that one, that two, and that multitude the Precepts of the Most High.

The servant Ezekiel was commanded to eat and then speak. One must eat before he can speak.

“And he said unto me, Son of man, cause thy belly to EAT, and fill thy bowels with this roll that I give thee. Then did I EAT IT; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness. 4 And he said unto me, Son of man, go, get thee unto the house of Israel, and SPEAK WITH MY WORDS unto them.” Ezekiel 3:3-4

Only those who know the Word of God can preach the Word of God. How long shall we remain so embarrassingly shallow about the most essential relationship and subject in the Universe?

Is the LORD calling you to come closer and to go deeper? If you will answer His call, surely He would have you to obtain a King James Bible (if you don’t already have one) and to obey Him as David did – “When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, Lord, will I seek.” (Psalms 27:8)

As we plunge headlong into this darkest hour of history, who is it that will take upon himself the reading, studying, and diligent dispensing of the saving words of our great God?

“Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. 22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.” James 1:21-25

Becoming enmeshed in God’s Word will require coming apart from the world and from worldly people. This will require being set apart to the LORD in a deeply consecrated way, setting aside the affairs of this fleeting life to seek the face of the LORD.

“Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom.” Proverbs 18:1

Warned and Safe [podcast]



“By the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.” Psalms 17:4

PWT = Preach, WARN, Teach

“Whom we PREACH, WARNING every man, and TEACHING every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:” Colossians 1:28
Did you catch what the apostle Paul did to prepare the church to meet Christ?
  • Preach
  • WARN
  • Teach

Lynne Parker writes:

“I truly believe Christians will be tried by the Word in this hour. There is no more riding the fence or taking a neutral position. God Himself will place us all in a position to stand or fall according to the Word. “Deception” and its sister “delusion” are gripping the Body of Christ – like a dark cloud it is covering the land. The false dominion (NAR) theology and signs and wonders movement has effectively conditioned multitudes to forsake the authority of God’s Word and embrace their subjective feelings as guidance in discernment concerns. But in these latter days only those who divorce their feelings and trust only in God’s Word and have developed a love for the truth will overcome the devil’s schemes. Sadly many will be lost – it’s unfolding right before us.”

Teach the Bible [podcast]


JESUS IS COMING AND THE TRUE BODY OF CHRIST IS “HOLDING FORTH (BOLDLY DECLARING) THE WORD OF LIFE”

Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.” Philippians 2:16

WHEN you speak God’s Word, you are speaking divine authority.

“These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.” Titus 2:15

“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

“That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.” Philemon 1:6

“Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.” Jeremiah 15:16

Nourishing the Body of Christ

“If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.” 1 Timothy 4:6

“All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.” Proverbs 15:15

The best way to learn is to teach.

HOW well do you know your way around in God’s Word?

Jesus knew His way around God’s Word. Do you? If not, why not?

“And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he FOUND the place where it was written,” Luke 4:17 

The disciple of Christ must daily and diligently search, study, and learn God’s Word in light of His Great Commission command to us to teach His Word to others (Matthew 28:18-20). Our ability to minister is in large part based on our knowledge of God’s Word or the ability to navigate God’s Word (King James Bible).

MAKE THE DIFFERENCE – OBEY GOD, “PREACH THE WORD.” (2 TIMOTHY 4:2)  

Tip: Always know WHERE you are reading in God’s Word – chapter and verse. You’ll be surprised at the repertoire that begins to build, making you, like Jesus, a good navigator of our LORD’s Word as you preach His Word (Luke 4:17).

Have you ever pondered why there is little or no Scripture being used when listening to someone pretending to be speaking about the LORD? You should wonder (Matthew 7:16, 20; 1 John 4:1).

“Preach the word” is the divine mandate, command (2 Timothy 4:2).

Let us cease to pretend that we represent the LORD when everything we say isn’t coming straight out of His Word. Read that again please.

“If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles (written Word) of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.” 1 Peter 4:11

Think God is calling you to serve? Good. If He has saved you, He has called you (Ephesians 2:8-10; 4:7). Get lost in His Word every day (Jeremiah 15:16). Read it (Revelation 1:3). Study it (2 Timothy 2:15). Memorize it (Proverbs 4:4). Meditate upon it day and night (Joshua 1:8; Psalm 1). THAT’s your prep for ministry, not going to an antichrist seminary. Jesus inducted you into His school of the Holy Ghost and Word the moment He saved you.

“As I was listening I was thinking of Paul. Who was a very educated man in the law. But after he was saved he spent three years being taught exclusively by the Lord Jesus Himself. And he says he “conferred not with flesh and blood.” But he was taught “by the revelation of Jesus Christ.” (Gal 1:12-18). All of us should be taught by the Lord in His Word and not learned through mere men or books. But by a direct revelation from the Lord Jesus Christ! Jesus is The Word of God (John 1:1, Rev 19:13).” Karen Cochran
