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

He’s a “pastor” and he’s using a new version and not the real Bible, the King James Bible???? Darkness! Apostasy!

It seems that some get highly offended that I would dare bring up this topic. Question: UNLESS we have something to hide, we should be afraid to talk about it, right?

YOU are one sin-sick puppy if you think God’s Word doesn’t matter or that He gave any man the permission to change it! Perhaps the most severe warning of Scripture specifically addresses the sinful rebellion of changing God’s Word and promises that any person who dares add to or remove from it will have their name removed from the book of life (Rev. 22:18-19).

A PERFECT Bible leaves no room for compromise – sin. THIS is why counterfeits hate the King James Bible and the claim that it is THE preserved Word of God for the English speaking peoples (Psalms 12:6-7). Tares love their lame, sin-justifying “bibles” because they love darkness rather than light because their own hearts and deeds are evil (John 3:19-21).

Those who are truly known of God will be crying out to the LORD today to instill His holy fear deep in their hearts.

HOW MANY atrocities do you have to see to burn your fake news “bible” and get a real one – the KJB? WHERE O WHERE is the conviction?

Wimpy “bibles” are for wimpy preachers.

To those who ignorantly argue to defend Satan’s “bibles” while claiming your know the LORD: You obviously 1. have not done your homework and have no business discussing this topic, or 2. You are not a man of truth and completely void of the holy fear of God and in desperate need of true repentance before it’s too late.

GOD didn’t say it’s a small thing to change His words. The lake of fire is the attached price! Any person who can take this lightly is in serious darkness and in need of repentance (Revelation 22:18-19).

“My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.” Psalms 89:34

Any person who defends the new “bibles” claims not only that God lied to us by changing but they also claim that He lied again by saying He changed His Word. They bear false witness against the LORD and are in utter need of repentance.

“For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.” Psalms 119:89

So you read a fake news “bible” and expect to be strong in the LORD? Not going to happen. Today is the day to get a King James Bible and trash Satan’s lame counterfeits.

God gave no man in history the authority to change His Word – to take away or add to it. The corrupting of God’s Word brings the lake of fire- Revelation 22:18-19.

So you aren’t offended that SATAN has removed the blood from the fake “bible” you read? Time for you to get saved! Colossians 1:14

IF you can give a BIBLICAL reason why the BLOOD of Jesus is removed from Colossians 1:14 in the new per-version fake news “bibles”, I will start reading them. Don’t hold your breath! Is it time you burn the devil’s garbage and get a real Bible?

Please explain why Christ’s BLOOD has been removed from the fake news “bible” you still read in Colossians 1:14, and …
How can you justify reading one of Satan’s “bibles” which is an attack on the LORD and Savior you claim to serve?

You KNOW with certainty that a person is in darkness when they still read one of Satan’s corruptions of God’s Word after comparing Colossians to the King James Bible.

“Satan crawls through the pages of the new ‘bibles’ and twists, leaves out, and waters down … Just like he tried with Jesus, leaving out part of the scripture in Psalms 91:11-12. What better way to creep into houses unaware than through a counterfeit bible!” Jeanette

Robert Allen writes: “I used to think other versions were fine to help you understand. Well it is a very big deal because they aren’t to help you understand but to change what it is actually saying.”

You claim to love the LORD and his truth and yet you read a “bible” that removed the blood of Jesus from Colossians 1:14????? oh and chopped Romans 8:1 in half and removed Matthew 17:21? And that’s okay with you??? Wow, you are not right!

If God’s Word has been altered and it has, the true disciple should be convicted to look into it. Jesus placed His most severe warning with promise of eternal damnation in the lake of fire, upon any soul who dared add to or take away from His words (Revelation 22:18-19).

DIVINE GUARANTEE: ANY man who dare participate with the changing of God’s Word will irrevocably suffer the most severe divine retribution! (Revelation 22:18-19) WHERE O WHERE is the conviction and holy fear of God? WHERE? The devil is a liar saints!

“For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.” Revelation 22:18-19

Most modern “preachers” use Satan’s “bibles” instead of the King James Bible and YET WE WONDER why the modern church world is completely apostate?????

YOU know we are in the final hour when you see 90% of today’s frauds – “pastors” – using something other than the real Word of God which is the King James Bible.

Satan’s new “bibles” are counterfeits of the divinely preserved Word of God for the English speaking peoples, the King James Bible – Psalms 12:6-7.

“Especially ‘pastors’ who are unmoved, unbothered and unconcerned when you point out the discrepancies in the new versions!! That’s a sign of darkness if ever I saw one. Un-Berean they are and evidently NOT lovers of Truth.” Eileen

MODERN wolves we call “pastors” do not preach the essential divine command to “repent” because it’s been removed from their fake, vatican “bibles.” Modern pastors are vatican trained from their seminaries which have been infiltrated by the Jesuits! Historical fact. It was a counter-reformation scheme! They replaced the King James Bible with the ecumenical new catholic “bibles.” RUN from any wolf who isn’t using the King James Bible, especially after he’s been shown and warned!

Let’s use the King James Bible saints, not the fairy tale corruptions.

ANY phony fake news “bible,” when put next to the King James Bible pales at best and is a cruel joke on an undiscerning people! So, when people detract from God’s preserved Word in English (Psalms 12:6-7), simply ask them what version they read. Many times they will not answer – because there’s something to hide, a LOT to hide. Observation: A sissy “bible” will make a moral, spiritual sissy out of you!

If someone can look at what Satan has done to God’s Word in the new versions and even go so far as to defend it, they are in pure darkness.

IF you wish to defend a new version “bible,” first please compare side by side these 3 verses and then explain why it’s okay that: 1. Matthew 17:21 has been removed, 2. Romans 8:1 was chopped in half, and 3. the BLOOD of Jesus was removed from Colossians 1:14…. Then we can talk.

They removed the BLOOD you claim to be washed in and it doesn’t bother you?!!! Compare Colossians 1:14.

Dear disciple: When helping others get a real Bible, the KJB, you may wish to share, compare, and stick with Colossians 1:14. Hold them accountable to give an answer for why the very redeeming BLOOD of Jesus was removed in their “bible” in Colossians 1:14

I have no idea how any person could have the slightest respect for Satan’s corruptions of Word of the God they claim to serve. THINK OF THE SPIRITUAL BETRAYAL/ADULTERY! If someone attacked your husband/wife and you STILL endorsed that attacker, HOW WOULD YOUR HUSBAND/WIFE FEEL ABOUT THAT? SMH

Those who have no concern for the integrity of God’s Word simply do not fear and have no integrity toward God.

AS IF THERE’S ANY GOSPEL WITHOUT CHRIST!!!! Note how this satanic “bible” removes Christ from His own Word – Romans 1:16 “For I am not ashamed of the gospel…” (NIV) Now let’s read Romans 1:16 in the King James Bible: “For I am not ashamed of the gospel OF CHRIST: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.” (Romans 1:16) The LORD Jesus Himself is repeatedly, systematically removed from all the modern corruption “bibles” because they all come from the same few corrupted manuscripts.

IF he’s not preaching the very first word of the original Gospel – “REPENT” – he’s a wolf! RUNNN!!! Over 90% of modern “pastors” are exposed in this one essential – the refusal to preach repentance – largely because they are not taught of God but men and devils and read Satan’s fake new, false “bibles” which have removed the word “repent.” Example: The New King James “bible” removes “repent” over 40 times! …And I’m the bad guy for exposing this????!!!! I wear all persecution for this as a badge of honor and “rejoice.” (Matthew 5:10-12)

The word “fornication” appears 36 times in the King James Bible while the new fake “bibles” use the words “sexual immorality.” The King James Bible, as usual, uses the correct word, “fornication” and not “sexual immorality” as “sexual immorality” can be defined any way the individual chooses.

Dear new version defender: Can you please explain why Matthew 17:21 is removed from the new version you read? And why Romans 8:1 is chopped in half and the BLOOD of Jesus is removed from Colossians 1:14? THE KING JAMES BIBLE IS THE BIBLE THAT HAS CHANGED THE WORLD FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS AND IS STILL DOING SO TODAY, PRAISE JESUS!!!

SMALL ISSUE? I will cease exposing Satan’s counterfeit “bibles” when YOU can clearly prove with Scripture …

1. Why Jesus didn’t mean what He stated in His severe warning of Revelation 22:18-19,

2. Why it’s okay that the new versions completely removed Jesus’ words in Matthew 17:21 so believers in this late hour wouldn’t know how to overcome unbelief and cast out devils,

3. Why the new versions chopped Romans 8:1 in half giving an incomplete, corrupted version of the divine salvation plan which includes living in the Spirit not the flesh,

4. Why the BLOOD of Jesus was removed from the new versions in Colossians 1:14, robbing glory from the one nail scarred risen LORD, and

5. Why the clearest verse in the Bible of the Godhead is completely neutered, butchered in 1 John 5:7.

Waiting ……

There is no cutting conviction in Satan’s “bibles” by diabolical design. Satan’s “bibles” are weak. Divine potency has been stripped. Among truth-seeking disciples of Jesus, there is a mass exodus from Satan’s counterfeit “bibles to the King James Bible!

Am I nit-picking OR are you backslidden?

Notice the second part of this verse and how those who do not use the sword, the Word, the declared judgments of God to expose, to plunder, to attack the enemies of God will be “cursed.” THIS IS WAR. “FIGHT the good fight.” (1 Timothy 6:12)

“Cursed be he that doeth the work of the LORD deceitfully, and cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from blood.” Jeremiah 48:10

WHEN Jesus Christ ceases to matter and therefore HIS Word, I will cease exposing what His arch enemy has done in corrupting His Word! Don’t hold your breath! It’s past time for you to stand up and speak the truth! “Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?” (Psalms 94:16)

Any person, after seeing these corruptions, who can crassly overlook them, in my opinion, is in some serious spiritual darkness, has no fear of God in their heart, and in need of repenting for real.

Sanity check anyone????

The prophesied Great Falling Away has come on the wings of Satan’s false “bibles.”

—We know when someone is under the influence of Satan, the master corrupter, when they attack, they cast doubt on God’s Word – Just like Satan did from the beginning (Genesis 2:17; 3:1, 4).

Will you remain deceived by the vatican-trained seminarian sinner who is using and unthinkably defending one of Satan’s new version “bibles” or will you get the real Word of God, the King James bible?

BEWARE OF THE FAKE NEWS BIBLE VERSIONS | Bible Version TEST: 4 Verses Compared

“Modern scholarship” comes out of the jesuit-corrupted seminaries and is a belly laugh. Layers and layers of lies covering its dirty tracts are stack up to “confirm” the previous lies. Most modern so-called “scholars” use Satan’s “bibles” which is all we need to know! The corrupt defend corrupted “bibles.” Any man who can use those horrible excuses for a Bible is in darkness. What’s that say for the lightweights many call “pastors” today? You have to cast away the “Spirit of truth” and the common sense God gave you to be indoctrinated by the doctors of damnation and to buy into the new “bible” version lies. SMH

The people who seem to most militantly, most vehemently defend Satan’s “bibles” are the dupes who paid big money to be indoctrinated at one of Satan’s Vatican seminaries.

Joel Nelson writes: “Second graders are assigned twenty words to learn the spelling, definition, and use in a sentence of once a week. So a second grader can learn the twenty words needed to read King James English in just one week.”

Isn’t it interesting how dupes mock King James English (the highest form of the English language) but never mock Shakespeare? There’s no power in Shakespeare. There’s power in the real Word of God.

Laughably, many who claim “the Holy Spirit is our Teacher” simultaneously claim they can’t understand God’s Word in perfect English and so they read the un-holy spirit’s/Satan’s “bibles.” SMH

You have to know the LORD – the Author of the Bible – to understand His Word. If you can’t understand it, it’s because you are not born again (1 Corinthians 2:13-14; John 14:26; 16:13-14).

MESSAGE RECEIVED:

“I read the NIV version and I’m holy spirit filled and fire filled I think that’s up to God to decide not you my brother Love you.”

REPLY:

Hello. Did God decide to remove 64,000 words from that garbage “bible” OR did Jesus promise that those who did so will receive the plagues of the book of Revelation – including the lake of fire. Read Revelation 22:18-19.

MESSAGE:

“The NIV also has pretty much the exact phrase in Ephesians 1:7 that the KJV has repeated in Colossians 1:14:

“In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace,” (Ephesians 1:7, NIV).”

REPLY:

So you admit that should be in the Bible? yet, you excuse how the NIV corruption removed it from Colossians 1:14….. WHO gave those perverts the permission to remove ANY slight jot or tittle from God’s Word? Not God! They are cursed and guaranteed the eternal lake of fire – Rev 22:18-19. And you are endorsing and so just as guilty for bidding Godspeed to these animals. Repent.

RECENTLY: I wrote this to a new version defender who accused me of being belittling after he would not hear the truth when shown that the corrupt “bibles” he’s defending were of the devil. He was upset due to not being to promulgate/peddle his foolish lies about Satan’s “bibles”:

You seem pretty belittling yourself. And, you don’t appear to be a man of truth. Certainly the Holy Spirit of God is not leading you to defend Satan’s “bibles”….. your Hebrew and Greek argument is pretty ridiculous actually. You have no clue what Pharisee is in the biblical definition and are misusing that term. Go read Matt 23 where Jesus told the Pharisees – men who perverted His truth – that they were going to hell 3 times…. and get an education. Also here’s Paul speaking: “And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?” (Acts 13:10) You going to be a whining pansy and say Christ’s apostle Paul was being too harsh, and belittling? You been feminized by the corrupt, sissy “bible” you read and need to repent and God will give you a spine – make you a man of truth.

It doesn’t matter how many justify these new “bibles” which are a filthy excuse for a “bible.” The whole industry of new “bibles” is purely satanic – a mockery of God. There’s a heart problem and that’s clear. They would not be blinded if their hearts were right with God (2 Corinthians 3:14-16).

MESSAGE RECEIVED:

“I don’t understand. I have spend the better part of twenty years studying the Bible in its original languages, earning for graduate degrees in the field, and have found that without a doubt that it is not the best English translation. But the more important matter that most Bible readers miss is that every translation is interpretation. Having spent seven years translating the Aramaic Bible for a new English translation that is set to appear in print this November, I can tell you that all translation is interpretation. Before making such statements, it is best to be sure that one has all the facts.”

REPLY:

Not impressed. God will not truly use you until you repent, lay down your life, and denounce your so-called higher learned. That’s exactly what Christ’s apostle Paul did (Philippians 3). You actually wasted all those years and money, paying to be deceived. Long ago you laid aside the common sense God gave you – in order for you to discern.

1. WHERE DID MATTHEW 17:21 GO IN YOUR NEW PER-VERSION “BIBLE”?,
2. IN THE VATICAN NEW VERSIONS, WHY IS ROMANS 8:1 CHOPPED IN HALF?,
3. WHY WAS THE VERY BLOOD OF CHRIST REMOVED FROM COLOSSIANS 1:14?, AND
4. IN 1 JOHN 5:7, WHY WAS THE CLEAREST VERSE IN ALL OF GOD’S WORD OF THE TRIUNE NATURE OF THE GODHEAD BUTCHERED, NEUTERED? 4 Verse KJV Comparison

MESSAGE RECEIVED:

“You are deceived! Jesus told us all translations are His Word!”

REPLY:

WHERE did the Jesus revealed in Scripture tell us such????

No instead the Jesus of the Bible warned us “Beware of the scribes.” (Mark 12:38) Jesus warned us that “SATAN cometh immediately, and taketh away the word.” (Mark 4:15)

If what you claim is true that would mean that Jesus okays the “Queen James Bible,” the “Ebonics Bible,” and even worse, the demonic NIV “bible.”

You are saying that as long as a thick book has the words “Holy Bible” on the cover that such is God’s inspired words, regardless of the contents of that book.

Jesus says that HIS words cannot be changed (Psalms 199:89; Mark 13:31) and if someone changes them, it’s not HIS Word and they will be irrevocably sent to the lake of fire which is one of the plagues of the book of Revelation (Revelation 22:18-19).

Please explain: So, the “Jesus” you claim okays all translations, sanctioned among mountains of corruptions, that…

His very words be removed, completely omitted in Matthew 17:21?
That Romans 8:1 be chopped in half?
That His very blood be removed from Colossians 1:14?
That the clearest revelation of the Godhead be butchered in 1 John 5:7?

Sounds like you need to get the real Jesus (2 Corinthians 11:2-5). That seems to be root issue here.

Discrediting or questioning God’s Word reveals that you are a child of the one who did such in the Garden (Genesis 3).

The devil himself is behind all lies Jesus taught and is the first and present one behind the questioning of and perversion of God’s words (Genesis 2:17; 3:1, 4).

Bible 101: WHO was the first one in history to change and also to cast doubt on God’s Word? (Genesis 2:17; 3:1, 4) You really don’t think Satan ceased being the devil now do you? (2 Corinthians 2:11; 1 Peter 5:8) Are we not told that he’s come down in these last, final days with increased wrath? (Revelation 12:12)

Recently I came across a survey / stats which revealed that King James Bible readers read their Bibles much more than new per-version readers. So, Satan’s new “bibles” are doing just what he designed – keeping people ignorant of the truth.

Kenny Moore writes: “Many have bought into the New Age Bible version lie. All modern versions come from ‘Satan’s Satanic Verses’/ the Septuagint, Sinaiticus, and Vaticanus—all proven to be blasphemous, counterfeit, and corrupt. These Satanic MSS (manuscripts) come from the underground catacombs of the dead in Roma, Italia. Catholics are forbidden to read the Authorized King James Bible, but the modern ‘versions’ are OK! Why? THE NEW VERSIONS ARE CATHOLIC > NEW WORLD ORDER > Luciferian Trash Theology.”

Serving Jesus in truth will bring about the full, whole masculinity of any man – “Quit (ACT) ye like men.” (1 Corinthians 16:13) Otherwise, one is following “another Jesus” who is a demon (2 Cor 11:2-5). Any man who is effeminate is in utter need of repenting before it’s too late. Sissy “bibles” are designed to feminize men! Repent and get the real Word of God. False “bibles” Exposed

Jacked Up Jezebel Rebuked [podcast]

“Jezebel is a widely rampant spirit of rebellion that is hard to get rid of, rooted in pride, self-will, and self-sufficiency. Only the LORD can deliver but only if the individual truly repents and submits to Him, to His Word.” Anita Villarreal

Any person defending this jezebel heresy that women can be pastors, elders over men, is under the control of Satan, period. And in need of true repentance (James 4:7).

—-There are NO female apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, or teachers under the New Testament (Ephesians 4:8, 11-12). Jesus gave these “gifts unto MEN.” (Ephesians 4:8) There is not even one woman mentioned in 27 books as an elder over Christ’s flock. Such is clearly forbidden (1 Timothy 2:11-12). In Acts 21:9 we read of Phillip’s daughters which “did prophesy” which is a gift of the Spirit (one of the nine-1 Corinthians 12:7-10). The office gifts are eldership functions for men called to be overseers over Christ’s flock, which is completely different than the gifts of the Spirit which every believer can function in and certainly women are seen doing such as Phillip’s daughters and how women are mentioned concerning operating in the gifts of the Spirit in 1 Corinthians 14.

Classic case of a jezebel lashing out when the Word of GOD corrects her (2 Timothy 3:16-17). Her rebellion is against God. Jezebel is utterly rebellious. She hates what God’s Word says and so the demons that control jezebels will lash out in personal attacks against the men who stand on the truth unwaveringly (such as did Elijah whom Jezebel sought to kill).

“Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. 12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. 13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.” 1 Timothy 2:11-14

“As I look around America I ask myself who can find a virtuous woman? Whose whole life is surrendered to God. And centered in the fear of the Lord. No woman will submit to their husbands unless they first submit to God. Ephesians 5:22 says women are to submit to their husbands, “as unto the Lord.” That must come first. And what is a great price in the sight of God? A woman who has a meek and quiet spirit (1 Peter 3:4). This is true beauty to God. But Jezebels are the complete opposite. Full of rebellion, pride and hatred! God says throw her down!” Karen Cochran

From the divine perspective, this is not about oppression but rather about protect. See Revelation 2:20-24 to see what Jesus warns when a woman is allowed to lead as an elder in the body of Christ. He uses the words “The depths of Satan” and speaks of the death and destruction that will result when the men allow a woman to lead in a manner that is outside of the stated role God ordained for the woman.

Yes the LORD said He will pour out His Spirit on all flesh, sons and daughter, but not to anoint a woman to do something HE forbids. Women are to teach women yes but not the general body of believers (Titus 2:1-5). There are NO female elders in the New Testament. God forbids it. Eldership is reserved for men – to humbly teach, lead and protect and cherish women and children.

“There’s a crazy role reversal across the land and men should always lead. Even our women’s prayer group was led by the pastor because that’s what he believed. Women are more emotional and men more logical. Both have their designated roles . God meant them to compliment each other rather than to compete.” John Umlauf

When people don’t like what God’s Word states, they will attack the mere messenger as if that changes the truth. Not. And, they heap judgment on themselves by doing so (Matthew 7:1-5; James 2:13). Persecution

“For we are not as many, which corrupt (twist, adulterate) the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.” 2 Corinthians 2:17

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

“Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.” Proverbs 13:13

Jesus Addresses the Ahabs and Self-Appointed Jezebel at the Church at Thyatira

Revelation 2:20-24

Revelation 2:20-24 is about a certain self-appointed woman who was allowed by the spineless men in Thyatira to operate out of the biblically-stated order for women in the church setting.

Rev 2:20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
Rev 2:21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.
Rev 2:22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
Rev 2:23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.
Rev 2:24 But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden.

Racism: Nation Rising Against Nation [radio]

Nation Shall Rise Against Nation

Laboring in the Spirit, not the Flesh

“Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.” Jude 21

It’s not about the color or your skin, it’s about what kingdom you’re in!

What Should be the Response of the Body of Christ? – LOVE!

Reading 1 Corinthians 13 each morning this week is a life changer. Nothing in our lives is going to work out right if we don’t prayerfully endeavor to walk in God’s love – loving God and our neighbor, above ourselves. I love pouring prayerfully over 1 Corinthians 13 and Philippians 2:3-5. Life changing is an understatement!

Racism is hatred and is not a skin color. It is a heart condition – coming from a sinful heart. Memorize Romans 2:11.

In the time of tribulation for the believers at Thessalonica, the Holy Spirit spoke through Paul and said this:

“And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.” 2 Thessalonians 3:5

By this we know of a certainty that the Holy Spirit is leading, directing our “hearts into the LOVE of God” and not the flesh, not a fleshly response. We now face tribulation and can be assured by this truth that our unchanging God is directing our hearts into His love and not hatred.

This is a divine truth for every era, every hour…. and we sure know that sin is exponentially abounding in this late hour…. which means divine grace is even greater – to save, heal, bless, deliver, and make whole!!!!

“But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:” Romans 5:20

Here’s more evidence of God’s leading His people into the love walk in trying times:

“But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer. 8 And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.” 1 Peter 4:7-8

Any person who does not walk in God’s love is not saved and we know that from many Scriptures. No hate, no hater shall enter Christ’s kingdom, no matter what justification that sinner thinks he has to warrant hating anyone. “He that loveth not knoweth not God.” (1 John 4:8) “Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.” (1 John 3:15)

When His disciples ask Him “what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?”, Jesus gave them this answer:

“And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation (ethnic group) shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. 9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake. 10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.” Matthew 24:4-13

“Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. 5 And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.” 2 Timothy 2:3-5

The Church began, will end as containing precious souls from every nation, kindred, and tongue (Acts 2; Revelation 5:9; 14:6).

The New Testament church began with men from every nation under Heaven and will be the same throughout eternity in glory.

Acts 2:1-13

“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;” Revelation 5:9

Nation/ethnos, ethnic yes…groups at odds was foretold by Jesus – Matthew 24:7

Yes we can be at peace, Jesus told us to fear not and to be at peace …..

John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

PRAYER: Holy Father, please change us to the very core of our being…. that we might see the lost souls around us as precious to You! In Jesus’ name, amen. “Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. 8 Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. 9 Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door.” James […]

When God Says to STOP PRAYING! [podcast]

Reconciling with God and other Saints

“He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law (the Word), even his prayer shall be abomination.” Proverbs 28:9

Those who do not love God enough to seek Him in the Word, to learn, and to obey Him, will not be heard by Him.

“He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.” Proverbs 28:13

In general, because God is “Holy, holy, holy,” when there is sin, God will not answer prayers – until the sinner repents and reconciles with the LORD and any person involved as needed (Isaiah 6:3; Revelation 4:8; Proverbs 28:9, etc.).

“And the LORD said unto Joshua, Get thee up; wherefore liest thou thus upon thy face? 11 Israel hath sinned …” Joshua 7:10-11

In other words, God said to Joshua “Why are you seeking My face, praying to me, talking to me, when there is sin in the camp? Get the sin our of the camp and then you can approach Me in prayer.”

STOP PRAYING AND LEAVE IT!

God is not going to bless our lives unless we are willing to sincerely admit our sins, repent and confess them, and make amends (restitution) with anyone we’ve harmed. In the divine economy, there’s no such thing as being right with God when you’ve done another person wrong, haven’t repented, and haven’t made amends for what you’ve done. Such a person will be outside of the will and blessings of God until he makes things right with God and man.

God is not hearing the prayers or worship of any person who has done someone else wrong and refuses to make restitution (Matthew 5:23-24).

“Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath aught against thee; Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; FIRST be reconciled to thy brother, and THEN come and offer thy gift.” Matthew 5:23-24

God will not answer the prayer of any person who does not honor and obey His Word and if a person has an outstanding offense He wants them to clear up these matters (Proverbs 28:9, 13).

Here Jesus gave us the instruction to stop praying! What!? Someone may be thinking “Todd, are you being sacrilegious now!? What is your problem brother!?” Keep reading okay.

“If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:” Psalms 66:18

“If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.” John 15:7

According to the Son of God, just when (if ever) should the believer stop praying? When he remembers that a brother has “aught against” him. Yes, I know this may raise eyebrows to say that Jesus told us to stop praying, but He certainly did. That’s what we read of His very words in Matthew 5.

He instructs us not to wait for the other person to come to you. Go to them and make peace. Work things out so that neither of your relationships with God will be in any way hindered. Forgive. Seek restitution and forgiveness. The Christian life is all about relationship – vertically first and them horizontally.

Jesus is saying here: “Stop praying or doing any form of worship until you have first done all you can possibly do to make peace with that person you had strife or misunderstanding with, offended, or wounded – the person that still has aught against you, whose heart isn’t yet clear in the matter. Your prayers and any form of supposed worship will not be honored in Heaven until you take care of this matter. Since I am holy I require certain things of you and one of them is that you do your best to keep unity with others, especially My people. Remember how I told you to love one another and to treat others as you wish to be treated? I love you and want clear communion with you and am simply not going to allow you to have a clear conscience until you work things out with that other person who has aught against you. Remember that though I love you, I care about others as much as I care about you. Get that human relationship right first and then come and seek My face in worship and we shall commune.”

God forgives us through Christ’s perfect sacrifice and as we choose to give it out to others! WHO might you have aught against in your heart today beloved?

As a believer, the LORD holds me personally accountable to facilitate reconciliation and peace in others when there is a rift and no matter whose fault it is (Matt. 5:23-24).

First and foremost we must realize that when we sin it is against the One who is “holy, holy, holy” (Isa. 6:3; Rev. 4:8). After that fact, we at times sin against or offend men (James 3:1). So, when we have wrongly offended someone who is created in the image of God, we should first confess that sin to the LORD and then do whatever it takes within our power to make it right with the person.

“Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it. 28 Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.” Proverbs 3:27-28

“Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another. 26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: 27 Neither give place to the devil.” Ephesians 4:25-27

Child of God, are you aware of anyone who might be upset with you for something you have done or they thought you did? Is anyone offended at you?

This writer is no stranger to wronging people, but is learning to follow this simple truth in Matthew 5, making sure to openly and transparently facilitate healing in those I have brought hurt to or who are offended at me for any legitimate reason.

Granted, we are going to offend people at times when it is not our fault. I am not talking about that. I am talking about when it is our fault or the situation is questionable or a close call.

Have you been offended? Have you ever found yourself in a situation where someone else held the key to your closure, your healing? Think back in your life: Have you ever needed someone else’s help in getting free in your heart from something concerning a situation?

Jesus called the divine Person of the Holy Spirit “the Comforter” (Jn. 14:26; 15:26; 16:7). God is all-powerful and can help us walk through a heart-rending ordeal where another person has hurt us and is unwilling to partake of the healing process according to the Word/instructions of the LORD. This He can and will do, yet He holds that other person responsible for doing their part – “Leave there thy gift before the altar – FIRST be reconciled to thy brother.”

Those made righteous by the blood of Christ are to do all in their power to facilitate healing in others.

“If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.” Romans 12:18

Jesus Christ came to make captives free and such freedom is the desire of all who follow Him. They desire also to see people set free and do their part when it is in the power of their hand to help (Prov. 3:27).

“Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.” Galatians 6:2

When need be, we are to work hard to make sure God’s peace abides among the saints.

“Endeavouring (working hard) to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.” Ephesians 4:3

“Endeavouring” – it’s hard work at times to keep unity in the body. Have you noticed that things happen that need attention, patience, humility, admission where wrong has been done, etc.?

It is our personal responsibility to keep schisms out of Christ’s body as much as it is in our power.

“That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another. And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it. Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.” 1 Corinthians 12:25-27

The LORD promises us that He commands His precious peace where brethren dwell together in unity.

“Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there (in the unity of believers) the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.” Psalms 133:1-3

The person who is truly born again cares for the body of Christ. Peace among the saints is where God’s blessing abides.

“We know that we have passed from death unto life (we know we are saved), BECAUSE we love the brethren.” 1 John 3:14

Without love we are nothing (1 Cor. 13). Divine love, authentically demonstrated in our lives, is the earmark fruit of the Heaven-bound disciple. There are no exceptions – “He that loveth not knoweth not God” (1 Jn. 4:8). If such charitable love does not presently appear in our lives, we should consider going before the throne of grace and making things right with God (repentance). The genuinely born again person is filled with God’s love and teachable in the precepts of the LORD. When he discovers a previously unknown (to him) truth, he swiftly hearkens and obeys. Remember, God’s eternal kingdom and the terms for entrance into it are based on the LORD’s terms and not any individual’s. Either we meet the terms and conditions or we shall be found without (Matt. 7:21-23; Lk. 6:46-49; 13:24-30; 1 Jn. 2:3-5; Rev. 2-3).

“We know that we have passed from death unto life (we know we are saved – been brought from spiritual death to spiritual life), BECAUSE we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.” 1 John 3:14-16

Child of God, do you have a key that would help another get free? If you possess the key that would assist in obtaining their freedom, the LORD holds you personally responsible to use it to help unlock that person’s heart and assist in their returning to a heart that is right with God, free from anything that hinders that relationship.

“Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath.” Ephesians 4:26

Don’t let the sun go down upon that which you can do to cause reconciliation in Christ’s body for which He bled. Leave your prayer closet and any and all worship and go get things right with that person the LORD may be placing on your heart. You will be glad you obeyed the LORD in this.

You see, if we truly have an intimate and saving relationship with Christ, we realize that nothing could be more important to us – and others. Knowing Jesus is everything. Armed with this knowledge and moved upon by the Holy Spirit, we are to be compelled to help others in their relationship with Jesus in any way we possibly can.

PRAYER: Father in Heaven, thank You for sending Your only begotten Son Jesus to live and die for me – for all of my many sins. This moment, I turn my life to Thee O God – asking Your merciful forgiveness on my sin of departing from You. Right this instant I ask You to please be my first love LORD Jesus! Bless this heart with sensitivity and a deep conviction for Your truth. Please allow this heart to have godly conviction! Please bless this life You graciously gave lift others to You and help them in any and every way I have opportunity. I am all Yours and You are all mine my LORD. Quicken my heart in any matter that You wish me to make amends with another person. Right now I now humble myself under Your mighty hand and ask You to use me to help facilitate peace between You and others Jesus, and in Your body. Please bless Your body to live in Your love, and Your truth and in peace with You and one another. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

PEACE with GOD

“For in Many Things We Offend All” [podcast]

“Endeavouring (working hard) to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.” Ephesians 4:3 Can we be honest for a moment? Have you ever wanted God to just rip your tongue out? CAN YOU RELATE to this? …… As Christ’s followers and therefore members of His one body, we all have sinned and have and perhaps still say things we shouldn’t which wound others. “The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.” Proverbs 18:8 Words can seriously wound. Word are containers of something or the […]

Answered Prayer? WHY?

WHY Does God Answer Prayer? On What Basis Does Our Access to Him Come? Where do we see the church doing 24 hours in the New Testament other than when Peter was locked up Acts 12? God answers prayers due to the name of Jesus, not because people pray around the clock…. sounds like works instead of faith which God requires, which pleases God (John 14:13-14; 16:23-24; Hebrews 11:6). There’s no end to the phony gimmicks that Satan is using his human agents to use in replacing Jesus Christ from the center of salvation! There is no salvation without Jesus Christ! […]
